成人本科学位英语翻译专项强化真题试卷12(题后含答案及解析)

成人本科学位英语翻译专项强化真题试卷12(题后含答案及解析) 题型有：1.1．Inadequacy of energy resources or more often of the technologies and organizations for harvesting, converting, and distributing those resources has meant insufficient energy benefits and hence inconvenience, deprivation and constraints on growth. The 1970’s, then, represented a turning point. After decades of constancy or decline in monetary costs—and of relegation of environmental and sociopolitical costs to secondary status—energy was seen to be getting costlier in all respects. It began to be probable that excessive energy costs could pose threats on insufficient supply. It also became possible to think that expanding some forms of energy supply could create costs exceeding the benefits.正确答案：能源资源的不足，更常见的是开采、转化和分配这些资源的技术力量的缺乏，组织的混乱导致能源效益不足，这种情况使得麻烦越来越多，资源越来越匮乏，受到的限制也越来越多。

2.Other experiments revealed slight variations in the size, number, arrangement, and interconnection of the nerve cells, but as far as psychoneuaral correlations were concerned, the obvious similarities of these sensory fields to each other seemed much more remarkable than any of the minute differences.答案：其他的实验揭示神经细胞的大小、数量、排列和连接的细微变化，但就神经关联而言，这些感觉区域的相似性比那些细微的区别更有意义可言。

3.Articles in the popular press even criticize the Gross National Production (GNP) because it is not such a complete index of welfare, ignoring, on the one hand, that it was never intended to be, and suggesting, on the other, that with appropriate changes it could be converted into one.答案：流行期刊中甚至有文章批评国民生产总值，因为它并不是一个福利目录，一方面忽视了它从来就没有这种倾向，另一方面的建议是通过正确的改变它才能被转化过来。

Microblogging(微博)appeared in 2006 and has moved from its early, perceived limitations to grow in popularity and become a powerful platform for sharing useful information and knowledge. 【T1】There are over 100 microblogging services in operation, with some of the better-known services being Twitter, Plurk and Tumblr. 【T2】The original use for microblogging was to allow people to broadcast what they were doing at any point in time, for example “Having coffee with Jane” or”Caught in traffic on my way to work”. Although this is still a major use for microblogging, it has developed into a much more complex array of communications. People use microblogging platforms to share and seek information but in 140 ~ 200 characters. 【T3】This may be in the form of broadcasting what they are thinking: asking for support or advice: sharing resources:or discussion with others. 【T4】Microblogging, and other forms of social media, have had an impact as profound as the printing press. The printing press changed distribution of, and access to, information for all time, giving widespread access to information that was previouslyunavailable to the majority of the population. Once people had this access they demanded more and we have seen this thirst for information ever since Microblogging applications have extended this access even further by enabling people to create and distribute information as opposed to being just consumers of information that is distributed and “controlled”by others. It is important to understand how and whymicroblogging is being used. 【T5】This understanding will enable us to further develop and enhance microblogging tools into useful collaborative spaces.5．【T1】正确答案：目前运营微博的服务商有一百余家，Twitter、Plurk和Tumblr便是其中比较知名的几家。

2．If they try hard to do something and fail, they may conclude that they will never be able to accomplish a task.正确答案：如果他们试图做什么事，却没有做成，他们可能会得出这样的结论：他们永远也不能完成某项特定的任务。

3．But he also took it for granted that division of labor is itself responsible for economic growth and development and it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still.正确答案：但是他理所当然地认为劳动分工自身就能成为经济增长和发展的原因，并且它可以解释增长的经济体和那些停滞不前的经济体的不同。

4．While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. (Passage 1)正确答案：其他层次涉及的是物质的满足，也就是说，吃饱、舒适、安全和交通便利，然而这一层次强调被认可、成功和幸福等精神需求。
