2007年10月英语二级口译证书考试真题及参考译文试题The Certificate of English Interpretation: Level ⅡNow please listen to the instructions about this exam. I'll give you abrief introduction before each part of the exam begins and leave you enoughtime to do the interpreting.Each part is divided into a number of segments and at the start of each segment you will hear this tone [TONE]. At each pause where you are expected to start interpreting, you'll also hear this tone [TONE].You'll hear each segment only once.Let's start with Part 1.Part 1 Consecutive Interpretation: English to ChineseIn this part you will hear a speech delivered in English by a Hong Kong SAR official on "Global Tertiary Education Development" at the Opening Ceremony of the Vice-Chancellors and Presidents Forum.Please interpret this speech into Chinese.Let's begin. [TONE]Ladies and Gentlemen,I am very honoured to have the opportunity to address such a distinguished audience of university presidents, vice-chancellors and accomplished scholars from around the world. I must congratulate theAssociation of University Presidents of China on its achievements since its establishment in 1997. [TONE]∥[TONE]It is the first association of its kind, and it will be a strong force for enhancing academic cooperationbetween Hong Kong and the mainland and between China and the world. I also applaud the Associationfor organising this meaningful event which draws together so many top brains from around the world. Thesynergy it generates will point the way for the development of the global tertiary education sector into thenext century. [TONE]∥[TO NE]Today, whilst innovation and technology are the driving force of the world and fuel its engine, it is thepeople that make the engines work. We wish to see in our younger generation an all-round developmentcovering ethics, intellect, physique, social skills and aesthetics. We wish to see in our younger generations theability to assimilate modern technology and ideas. [TONE]∥[TONE] We wish to see in our younger generation creativity, critical thinking anda global outlook. We wishto see in our younger generation a strength of character, a spirit of enterprise, the desire for continuousimprovement and the versatility to cope with the changing needs of our community. And we wish tosee inour younger generation a sense of responsibility towards one's own family, one's own community, one's owncountry and indeed the world. [TONE]∥[TONE] In Hong Kong we strongly believe education enables us to cultivate these noble qualities in our nextgeneration. Education also creates and expands the pool of talents to maintain Hong Kong's economicdevelopment and international competitiveness. That is why education is always one of our top priorities and continues to be the single biggest item of the Government's budget, accounting for 19% of our total public recurrent expenditure. Despite the economic downturn, public expenditure on education will have about 8%growth in realterms in this fiscal year. [TONE]∥[TONE]Our best universities are among the top ten in the region, and our best students are among the best in theworld. However, the success ofHong Kong liesin our flexibility to respond to changes and our determinationfor improvement. We have to inject new life into the whole education sector. To achieve this, weareundergoing major reforms in our education system, our examination system, our education regulators, ourschools, our teachers and, above all, our attitude towards education. [TONE]∥[TONE]Education is a continuum. The inputs into the tertiary sector are the outputs from the school sector. Wehope that several years down the road, the tertiary sector is able to reap the benefits from our reforms in thebasic education sector which we are now embarking on. But universities cannot simply wait. They have toensure that their current outputs, that is, their graduates and t heir research work, meet the aspirations of thecommunity. [TONE]∥[TONE] That's the end of Part 1. Now we move on to Part 2.Part 2 Consecutive Interpretation: Chinese to EnglishIn this part you will hear a speech delivered in Chinese by a Chinese official at a forum on foreign investment and trade. Please interpret this speech into English.Let's begin. [TONE]女士们，先生们：金秋十月，北京气候宜人，中国国际投资贸易论坛今天在这里隆重召开了。

2007年考研英语二（MBA联考）真题试卷及答案Section II Cloze (10 points)Directions: Read the following text. Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1.Advancing age means losing your hair, your waistline and your memory，right ? Dana Denis is just 40 years old，but 21 she’s worried about what she calls’my rolling mental blackouts.””I try to remember something and I just blank out，”she saysYou may 22 about these lapses，calling them ”senior moments ”or blaming "early Alzheimer’s (老年痴呆症).”Is it an inescapable fact that the older you get，the 23 you remember? Well, sort of.But as time goes by, we tend to blame age 24 problems that are not necessarily age—related.“When a teenager can’t find her keys，she thinks it's because she’s distracted or disorganized，”says Paul Gold.“A 70-year-old blames her 25 .”In fact，the 70-year-old may have been 26 things for decades.In healthy people，memory doesn’t worsen as 27 as many of us think.“As we 28 ，the memory mechanism isn’t 29 ，”says psychologist Fergus Craik.”It’s just inefficient.”The brain’s processing 30 slows down over the years，though no one knows exactly 31. Recent research suggests that nerve cells lose efficiency and 32 there’s less activity in the brain.But，cautions Barry Gordon，”It's not clear that less activity is 33 .A beginning athlete is winded(气喘吁吁)more easily than a 34 athlete.In the same way, 35 the brain gets more skilled at a task，it expends less energy on it.”There are 36 you can take to compensate for normal slippage in your memory gears，though it 3 7 effort.Margaret Sewell says：”We’re a quick-fix culture, but you have to 38 to keep your brain. 3 9 shape.It’s like having a good body.You Can’t go to the gym once a year 40 expect to stay in top form.”21.A. almost B. seldom C. already D. never22.A. joke B. laugh C. blame D. criticize23.A. much B. little C. more D. less24.A. since B. for C. by D. because25.A. memory B. mind C. trouble D. health26.A. disorganizing B. misplacing C. putting D. finding27.A. swiftly B. frequently C. timely D. quickly28.A.mature B. advance C. age D. grow29.A. broken B. poor C. perfect D. working30.A. pattern B. time C. space D. information31.A . why B. how C. what D. when32.A. since B. hence C. that D. although33.A. irregular B. better C. normal D. worse34.A. famous B. senior C. popular D. trained35.A. as B. till C. though D. yet36.A. stages B. steps C. advantages D. purposes37.A. makes B. takes C. does D. spends38.A. rest B. come C. work D. study39.A. to B. for C. on D. in40.A. so B. or C. and D. ifSection III Reading comprehension (40 points)Directions:Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OnePrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and communication. For many of the world’s peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that?Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism(mastery of two languages). Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller spheres---at home, among friends, in community settings---and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many small languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages, rather than yield to the homogenizing(同化的)forces of globalization.Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer—aided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient(有活力的),however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous(原生的，土著的)communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41.Minority languages can be best preserved in __________.A.an increasingly interconnected worldB.maintaining small numbers of speakersC.relatively isolated language communitiesD.following the tradition of the 20th century42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the futureis _______.A.uncertainB.unrealisticC.foreseeableD.definite43.According to the author, bilingualism can help_________.A.small languages become acceptable in work placesB.homogenize the world’s languages and culturesC.global languages reach home and community settingsD.speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identityputer technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it_________.A.makes learning a global language unnecessaryB.facilitates the learning and using of those languagesC.raises public awareness of saving those languagesD.makes it easier for linguists to study those languages45.In the author’s view, many endangered languages are________.A.remarkably well-kept in this modern worldB.exceptionally powerful tools of communicationC.quite possible to be revived instead of dying outD.a unique way of bringing different groups togetherPassage TwoEveryone，it seems，has a health problem。

Typically the Games are awarded several years in advance,_26_the winning city time to prepare for the Games.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET with a pencil.Question 41 to 45 are based on the following passageLast weekend Kyle MacDonald in Montreal threw a party to celebrate the fact that he got his new home in exchange for a red paper clip. Starting a year ago, MacDonald bartered the clip for increasingly valuable staff, including a camp stove and free rent in a Phoenix flat. Having announced his aim(the house)in advance, MacDonald likely got a boost from techies eager to see the Internet pass this daring test of its networking power. "My whole motto(座右铭)was 'start small, think big, and have fun'," says MacDonald, 26, " I really kept my effort on the creative side rather than the business side."Yet as odd as MacDonald exchange was, barter is now big business on the Net. This year more than 400,000 companies worldwide will exchange some $10 billion worth of goods and services on a growing number of barter sites. These Websites allow companies to trade products for a virtual currency, which they can use to buy goods from other members. In Iceland, garment-maker Kapusalan sells a third of its output on the booming Vidskiptanetid exchange, earning virtual money that it uses to buy machinery and pay part of employee salaries. The Troc-Services exchange in France offers more than 4,600 services, from math lessons to ironing.This is not a primitive barter system. By creating currencies, the Internet removes a major barrier-what Bob Meyer, publisher of BarterNews, calls" the double coincidence of wants." That is, two parties once not only had to find each other, but also an exchange of goods that both desired. Now, they can price the deal in virtual currency.Barter also helps firms make use of idle capacity. For example, advertising is "hugely bartered"because many media, particularly on the Web can supply new ad space at little cost. Moreover, Internet ads don't register in industry-growth statistics, because many exchanges are arranged outside the formal exchanges.Like eBay, most barter sites allow memebers to "grade" trading partners for honestry quality and so on. Barter exchanges can allow firms in countries with hyperinflation or nontradable currencies to enter global trades. Next year, a nonprofit exchange called Quick Lift Two(QL2) plans to open in Nairobi, offering barter deals to 38,000 Kenyan farmers in remote areas. Two small planes will deliver the goods. QL2 director Gacci Waciuma says the farmers are excited to be "liberated from corrupt middlemen." For them, barter evokes a bright future, not a precapitalist past.41. The word"techies"(Line 4, Para1) probably refers to those who are___.A. afraid of technologyB. skilled in technologyC. ignorant of technologyD. incompetent in technology42. Many people may have deliberately helped Kyle because they___.A. were impressed by his creativityB. were eager to identify with his mottoC. liked his goal announced in advanceD. hoped to prove the power of the Internet43. The Internet barter system relies heavily on___.A. the size of barter sitesB. the use of virtual currencyC. the quality of goods or servicesD. the location of trading companies44. It is implies that Internet advertisements can help___.A. companies makes more profitB. companies do formal exchangesC. media register in statisticsD. media grade barter sites45. Which of the following is true of QL2 according to the author?A. It is criticized for doing business in a primitive way.B. It aims to deal with hyperinflation in some countries.C. It helps get rid of middlemen in trade and exchange.D. It is intended to evaluate the performance of trading partners. [next]Question 46 to 50 are based on the following passageThe lives of very few Newark residents are untouched by violence: New Jersey's biggest city has seen it all. Yet the murder of three young people, who were forced to kneel before being shot in the back of the head in a school playground on August 4th, has shaken the city. A fourth, who survived, was stabbed and shot in the face. The four victims were by all accounts good kids, all enrolled in college, all with a future. But the cruel murder, it seems, has at last forced Newarker to say they have had enough.Grassroots organizations, like Stop Shootin', have been flooded with offers of help and support since the killings. Yusef Ismail, its co-founder,says the group has been going door-to-door asking people to sign a pledge of non-violence. They hope to get 50,000 to promise to "stop shootin', start thinkin', and keep livin'. The Newark Community Foundation, which was launched last month, announced on August 14th that it will help pay for Community Eye, a surveillance(监视) system tailored towards gun crime.Cory Booker who became mayor 13 months ago with a mission to revitalize the city, believes the surveillance program will be the largest camera and audio network in any American city. More than 30 cameras were installed earlier this summer and a further 50 will be installed soon in a seven-square mile area where 80% of the city's recent shootings have occured. And more cameras are planned.When a gunshot is detected, the surveillance camera zooms in on that spot. Similar technology in Chicago has increased arrests and decreased shootings. Mr. Booker plans to announce a comprehensive gun strategy later this week.Mr. Booker, as well as church leaders and others, believes(or hopes) that after the murder the city will no longer stand by in coldness. For generations, Newark has been paralyzed by poverty---almost one in three people lives below the poverty line---and growing indifference to crime.Some are skeptical. Steven Malanga of the conservative Manhattan Institute notes that Newark has deep social peoblemsver 60% of children are in homes without fathers. The school system, taken over by the state in 1995, is a mess. But there is aslo some cause for hope. Since Mr. Booker was elected, there has been a rise in investment and re-zoning for development. Only around 7% of nearby Newark airport workers used to come from Newark; now, a year, the figure is 30%. Mr. Booker has launched a New York-style war on crime. So far this year, crime has fallen 11% and shootings are dowm 30%(through the murder rate looks likely to match last year's high).46. What happened in Newark, New Jersey on August 4th?A. The Newark residents witnessed a murder.B. Four young people were killed in a school playground.C. The new mayor of Newark took office.D. Four college students fell victim to violence.47. Judging from the context, the "Community Eye"(Line5, Pare2)is___.A. a watching system for gun crimeB. a neighborhood protection organizationC. an unprofitable community businessD. a grassroots organization48. We learn from the passage that Newark has all the following problems EXCEPT___.A. violenceB. floodC. povertyD. indifference49. Mayor Booker's effort against crime seem to be___.A. idealisticB. impracticalC. effectiveD. fruitless50. The best title for the passage may be___.A. Stop Shootin', Start Thinkin', and Keep Livin'B. Efforts to Fight against Gun CrimeC. A Mission to Revitalize the CityD. Violent Murders in NewarkQuestion 51 to 55 are based on the following passageAccording to a recent survey on money and relationships, 36 percent of people are keeping a bank account from their partner. While this financial unfaithfulness may appear as distrust in a relationship, in truth it may just be a form of financial protection.With almost half of all marriages ending in divorce, men and women are realizing they need to be financially savvy, regardless of whether they are in a relationship.The financial hardship on individuals after a divorce can be extremely difficult, even more so when children are involved. The lack of permanency in relationships, job and family life may be the cause of a growing trend to keep a secret bank account hidden from a partner, in other words, an “escape fund”.Margaret’s story is far from unique. She is a representative of a growing number of women in long-term relationships who are becoming protective of their own earnings.Every month on pay day, she banks hundreds of dollars into a savings account she keeps from her husband. She has been doing this throughout their six-year marriage and has built a nest egg worth an incredible $100,000 on top of her pension.Margaret says if her husband found about her secret savings he’d hurt and would interpret this as a sign she wasn’t sure of the marriage. “He’d think it was my escape fun so that financially I could afford to get out of the relationship if it went wrong. I know you should approach marriage as being forever and I hope ours is, but you can never be sure.”Like many of her fellow secret savers, Margaret was stung in a former relationship and has since been very guarded about her own money.Coming clean to your partner about being a secret saver may not be all that bad. Taken Colleen for example, who had been saving secretly for a few years before she confessed to her partner. “I decided to open a savings account and start bu ilding a nest egg of my own. I wanted to prove to myself that I could put money in the bank and leave it there for a rainy day.”“When John found out about my secret savings, he was a little suspicious of my motives. I reassured him this was certainly not an escape fund that I feel very secure in our relationship. I have to admit that it does feel good to have my own money on reserve if ever there are rainy days in the future. It’s sensible to build and protect your personal financial security.”51. The trend to keep a secret bank account is growing because ___.A.“escape fund” helps one through rainy daysB.days are getting harder and harderC.women are money sensitiveD.financial conflicts often occur52. The word “savvy” (Line2, Para2) probably means ___.A. suspiciousB. secureC. shrewdD. simple53. Which inference can we make about Margaret？A. she is a unique woman.B. she was once divorced.C. she is going to retire.D. she has many children.54. The author mentions Colleen’s example to show ___.A. any couple can avoid marriage conflictsB. privacy within marriage should be respectedC. everyone can save a fortune with a happy marriageD. financial disclosure is not necessarily bad55. Which of the following best summary of this passage?A. Secret SaversB. Love Is What It’s WorthC. Banking HonestyD. Once Bitten, Twice ShyQuestion 56 to 60 are based on the following passage“The word ‘protection’is no longer taboo(禁忌语)”. This short sentence, uttered by French President Nicolas Sarkozy last month, may have launched a new era in economic history. Why? For decades, Western leaders have believed that lowering trade barriers and tariffs was natural goods. Doing so, they reasoned, would lead to greater economic efficiency and productivity, which in turn would improve human welfare. Championing free trade thus became a moral, not just an economic, cause.These leaders, of cour se, weren’t acting out of unselfishness. They knew their economies were the most competitive, so they’d profit most from liberalization. And developing countries feared that their economies would be swamped by superior Western productivity. Today, however, the tables have turned—though few acknowledge it. The Western continues to preach free trade, but practices it less and less. Asia, meanwhile, continues to plead for special protection but practices more and more free trade.That’s why Sarkozy’s word s were so important: he finally injected some honesty into the trade debates. The truth is that large parts of the West are losing faith in free trade, though few leaders admit it. Some economists are more honest. Paul Krugman is one of the few willing to acknowledge that protectionist arguments are returning. In the short run, there will be winners and losers under free trade. This, of course, is what capitalism is all about. But more and more of these losers will be in the West, economists in the developed world used to love quoting Joseph Schumpeter, who said that “creative destruction” was an essential part of capitalist growth. But they always assumed that destruction would happen over there. When Western workers began losing jobs, suddenly their leaders began to lose faith in their principles. Things have yet to reverse completely. But there’s clearly a negative trend in a Western theory and practice.A little hypocrisy is not in itself a serious problem. The real problem is that Western governments continue to insist that they retain control of the key global economic and financial institutions while drifting away from global liberalization. Lock at what’s happening at the IMF (International Monetary Fund). The Europeans have demanded that they keep the post of managing director. But all too often, Western officials put their own interests above everyone else’s when they dominate these global institutions.The time has therefore come for the Asians—who are clearly the new winners in today’s global economy—to provide more intellectual leadership in supporting free trade: Sadly, they have yet to do so. Unless Asians speak out, however, there’s a real danger that Adam Smith’s principles, which have brought so much good to the world, could gradually die. And that would leave all of us, worse off, in one way or another.56. It can be inferred that “protection” (Line1, Para1) means ___.A. improving economic efficiencyB. ending the free-trade practiceC. lowering moral standardD. raising trade tariffs57. The Western leaders preach free trade because ___.A. it is beneficial to their economiesB. it is supported by developing countriesC. it makes them keep faith in their principleD. it is advocated by Joseph Schumpeter and Adam Smith58. By “the tables have turned” (Para2) the author implies that___.A. the Western leaders have turned self-centeredB. the Asian leaders have become advocates of free tradeC. the developed economies have turned less competitiveD. the developing economies have become more independent59. The Western economies used to like the idea of “creative destruction” because it___.A. set a long-term rather than short-turn goalB.was an essential part of capitalist developmentC. contained a positive rather than negative mentalityD. was meant to be the destruction of developing economies60. The author uses “IMF” was an example to illustrate the point that___.A. European leaders are reluctant to admit they are hypocriticalB. there is an inconsistency between Western theory and practiceC. global institutions are not being led by true globalization advocatesD. European countries interests are being ignored by economic leadersSection 4 Translation (20 points)Direction: in this section there is a paragraph in English. Translate it into Chinese and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.The term “business model”first came into widespread use with the invention of personal computer and the spreadsheet(空白表格程序). Before the spreadsheet, business planning usually meant producing a single forecast. At best, you did a little sensitivity analysis around the projection. The spreadsheet ushered in a much more analytic approach to planning because every major line item could be pulled apart, it components and subcomponents analyzed and tested. You could ask what-if questions about the critical assumptions on which your business depended-for example, what if customers are more price-sensitive than we thought? And with a few keystrokes, you could see how any change would play out on every aspect of the whole. In other words, you could model the behavior of business. Before the computer changed the nature of business planning, most successful business models were created more by accident than by elaborate design. By enabling companies to tie their marketplace insights much more tightly to the resulting economics, spreadsheet made it possible to model business before they were launched.Section 5 Writing以往许多人报考成人高校，是为了圆文凭梦。

全国2007年10月自学考试英语阅读(二)真题
全国2007年10月高等教育自学考试英语阅读（二）试题课程代码：00596全部题目用英文作答(翻译题除外)，请将答案填在答题纸相应位置上I. Reading Comprehension. (50 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. Following each passage, there are five questions with four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and then write the corresponding, letter on your Answer Sheet.Passage OneElectronic computers are among the fastest and most useful instruments for sorting and comparing in use today. Computers provide means for greater speed and accuracy in working with ideas than had previously been possible. With the development of these new tools, it is as if man has suddenly become a millionaire of the mind.Although man has been growing mentally richer ever since he started to think, the electronic computer allows and will continue to allow him to perform tremendous mental tasks in a relatively short time. Great scientists of the past produced ideas which were the basis for great advances, but their ideas sometimes had to wait for years before they were understood sufficiently well to be of practical use. With the computer, the ideas of today‟s scientists can be studied, tested, distributed, and used more rapidly than ever before.Old lines and methods of communication do not work easily or efficiently with as much information as we have now. The repeated actions of preparing, sorting, filling, distributing, and keeping track of records and publications can be as troublesome as calculating. Errors occur because men grow tired and can be distracted.The basic job of computers is the processing of information. For this reason computers can be defined as devices which accept information, perform mathematical or logical operations with the information, and then supply the results of these operations as new information.Although a sharp dividing line between types of computers is not always easy to see, computers are usually divided into two broad groups: digital and analog. Digital computers work by using specific information which is usually in the form of numbers. Analog computers, on the other hand, usually process continuous information.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 1 页共14 页To explain the differences, let us consider two devices which handle information in a manner similar to the two types of computers. A turnstile, which has a counter attached to it, can help to explain the way a digital computer works. Each time a person passes through the turnstile, the indicator quickly jumps from one number to another. Each number registered is separate and specific.The continuous change in the level of sand in an hourglass as time passes makes it an analog device. Perhaps the first analog computation was the use of graphs for the solution of surveying problems.Questions 1-5 are based on Passage One.1. Which of the following statements best summarizes the first paragraph?A. Computers have extended the range of our senses.B. Computers have extended the power of our mind.C. Computers have extended the scope of our activities.D. Computers have extended the speed of our reasoning.2. With the help of computers, scientists today are able to ______.A. have their ideas questioned or shared quicklyB. have their new ideas accepted far more widelyC. produce their ideas more rapidlyD. understand new information easily3. According to the passage, computers are mainly used to do the following EXCEPT ______.A. performing math operationsB. processing informationC. supplying solutionsD. storing technical data4. The digital computers are different from analog computers because ______.A. they process continuous informationB. they process specific informationC. they record separate numbersD. they produce vivid pictures5. The tone the writer uses in this passage is ______.A. criticalB. analyticalC. subjectiveD. objectivePassage Two浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 2 页共14 页Time talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways. Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The time of the day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work. Whenever they want to make an important announcement, they ask, “When shall we let them know?”In social life, time plays a very important part. In the United States, guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is perhaps not true in some other countries. There it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meanings of time differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life. For example, no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. When equals meet, a person who is five minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than five minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.In the western world, particularly in the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road stretching into the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections which are to be kept separate —“one thing at a time”. People who cannot plan events are not highly regarded. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future, not the future of the South Asian, which may involve centuries. Someone has said of the South Asian idea of time. “T ime is like a museum with endless halls and rooms. Y ou, the viewer, are walking through the museum in the dark, holding a light to each scene as you pass it. God is in charge of the museum, and only He knows all that is in it. One lifetime represents one r oom.”Since time has such different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little better if we can keep this fact in mind.Questions 6-10 are based on Passage Two.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 3 页共14 页6. Which of the following statements is true about the social life in America?A. It is considered foolish that you plan an appointment one week earlier.B. It is impolite that one is informed of an appointment three days earlier.C. The ideas about keeping time in America and in China are not different.D. The fact that who announces an appointment usually matters much.7. Factory managers in America ______.A. usually avoid giving announcements in working hoursB. think the time for an announcement barely makes special meaningC. consult their colleagues before giving very important announcementsD. often consider what is the best time to give important announcements8. According to the passage, in the United States, when you are ______.A. one minute late, you are considered punctualB. two minutes earlier, you are regarded as trustworthyC. ten minutes late, you should give a long explanationD. five minutes late, you should make a short apology9. The American philosophical idea of time is that one should ______.A. do one thing at a timeB. avoid delaying his workC. plan for the distant futureD. constantly evaluate his plans10. The Asian philosophical idea of time is that time is ______.A. like a dark museum where one sees littleB. like a candle light shining in a dark museumC. like a scaring trip on the road to the unknown futureD. like a tour into a mysterious and supernatural worldPassage ThreeSpelunking has been called “mountain climbing upside down in the dark”. However, this description is not entirely accurate. The mountain climber knows where he is going. He climbs a mountain because it is there. A spelunker, on the other hand, doesn‟t know what is there. All he sees when he enters a wild cave is a hole in the surface of the earth —a very dark hole. Once he gets inside he may find it runs only a few hundred feet or, like one cave in Switzerland, more than浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 4 页共14 页35 miles. He may find big hall, subway like tunnels, rivers or strange and beautiful limestone formations.Some spelunkers have become famous for their discoveries. Several years ago Norbert Castreet, a Frenchman, was exploring a cave that had a rapidly flowing underground river. He followed the river until it went under a cave wall and disappeared. Wearing a bathing suit and a rubber cap, he dived into the river. He surfaced on the other side of the cave wall and found a huge hall untouched and undisturbed for tens of thousands of years.My wife and I became spelunkers almost by accident. We were driving down the Pan-American Highway to Mexico City when I noticed several black openings up in the mountains near the road. I stopped and asked what they were, and learned that they were a network of large caves. Following a guide, we were climbing slowly up the mountain. When we reached the top, a large opening appeared under an overhanging cliff. Inside was a smaller hole covered by a wooden door. Taking a gasoline lamp in one hand, the guide opened the door. We followed him down the smooth cement steps. Strange shapes moved on the walls as his lamp swung back and forth at each step.This was a limestone cave, formed hundreds of thousands of years ago by the slow dripping of water through the cracks of the rock. The guide pointed out formations that looked like horses, tigers, hands and plants.When we left the cave about an hour later, we saw a sign mentioning the National Speleological Society. Our interest awakened, we noted the address and wrote for further information. The reply informed that there were “grottoes”, local chapter of the society, all over the United States. We joined one that was near our home. Soon we were making our first trip through a wild, unmapped cave. That was 12 years ago. Since then I have explored caves in Europe, Central and South America, and all over the United States.Questions 11-15 are based on Passage Three.11. According to the passage, the difference between spelunking and mountain climbing lies in thefact that ______.A. the former does not know what to find in exploring while the latter doesB. the former goes downward in most cases and the latter goes upward浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 5 页共14 页C. it is more dangerous to do spelunking than mountain climbingD. it is more exciting in spelunking than in mountain climbing12. Which of the following statements is true about Norbert Castreet?A. He was famous for his discoveries of new caves.B. The cave he explored is famous for its underwater fiver.C. He discovered a very old huge hall on the other side of the wall of the cave.D. The old hall he discovered had been used as a hidden place of some pirates.13. The author and his wife ______.A. had planned carefully for their first spelunkingB. explored their first cave rather unexpectedlyC. spent time looking for a suitable cave to start their first explorationD. were convinced by their friends that spelunking was a good sport14. The author and his wife explored their first cave ______.A. for several hoursB. on their ownC. just for a short timeD. with a guide and a guard15. The author, and his wife joined the society of spelunking as they were_______.A. recommended by their friendsB. attracted by an advertisementC. encouraged by an article in the newspaperD. intrigued by a local chapter of the society Passage FourThe word population reached 6.6 billion this year, up from 6 billion in 1999. By 2025, researchers expect nearly 8 billion people will be living on the planet. Ninety-nine percent of those new inhabitants will be in developing countries.Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. Those statistics come from an annual demographic snapshot of global population numbers and trends, produced by the Population Reference Bureau.Rachel Nugent, an economist with the research group, points to the population shifts that are occurring now from Bangladesh to India or from India, Egypt and Y emen to the Persian Gulf.She says people are moving within the developing world for the same reasons they migrate 浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第 6 页共14 页to wealthier nations. “People from very poor countries [are] going to less poor countries, people fleeing wars and conflict.” She adds that they are also responding to population pressures because, she says, “some countries are very densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere, and they are often going looking for jobs.”Nugent says migration from Guatemala to Mexico is one such example. “And many Guatemalans go to Mexico, probably 25,000 a year that stay and 100,000 a year that go back and fort h. And that is a pretty high proportion of the Guatemalan population.”The United Nations projects that by 2050, the population of Europe, now at 750 million, will fall by 75 million; and Japan, home to 128 million people, will lose 16 million. Population Reference Bureau senior demographer and survey author Carl Haub says this is going to be a threat to economic health.“The number of young people in many European countries is half of the size of their parents‟ generation,” he says, “So what you see today are the corporations, the health care system in this country saying, …Listen! We can‟t find workers. We haven‟t had enough workers and now we can‟t find workers.‟ So they will have to come from some place and that‟s going to have to come from outside the c ountry.”Questions 16-20 are based on Passage Four.16. Which of the following population shifts is talked about in the third paragraph?A. From developing countries to developed countries.B. From poor countries to rich or wealthier countries.C. From war-ridden countries to countries free of wars.D. From developing countries to developing countries.17. According to Rachel Nugent, people migrated because of the following reasons EXCEPT______.A. fleeing conflicts at homeB. looking for jobsC. getting away from warsD. seeking for freedom18. Which is true about Guatemalans‟ migrating to Mexico?A. Most of them stay there permanently and become citizens.B. They go there because of the economic depression at home.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第7 页共14 页C. Many of them go back to their own country disappointedly.D. They go there because of the population pressure at home.19. The population in Europe and Japan is ______.A. shrinkingB. decliningC. increasingD. exploding20. “New inhabitants” in the first paragraph refer to ______.A. people who migrate from one country to anotherB. people who will live on other planets in spaceC. people who will be born in the next decadesD. people who live in newly-established countriesPassage FiveIn a competitive economy, the consumer usually has the choice of several different brands of the same product. Y et underneath their labels, the products are often nearly identical. One manufacturer‟s toothpaste tends to differ from another‟s. Thus manufacturers are confronted with a problem — how to keep sales high enough to stay in business. Manufacturers solve this problem by advertising. They try to appeal to consumers in various ways. In fact, advertisements may be classified into three types according to the kind of appeals they use.One type of advertisem ent tries to appeal to the consumer‟s reasoning mind. It may offer a claim that seems scientific. For example, it may say the dentists recommend Flash toothpaste. In selling a product, the truth of the advertising may be less important than the appearance of truth. A scientific approach gives the appearance of truth.Another type of advertisement tries to amuse the potential buyer. Products that are essential boring, such as insecticide, are often advertised in an amusing way. One way of doing this is to make the products appear alive. For example, the advertisers may personify cans of insecticide, and show them attacking mean-faced bugs. Ads of this sort are silly, but they also tend to be amusing. Advertisers believe that consumers are likely to remember and buy products that the consumers associate with fun.Associating the product with something pleasant is the technique of the third type of appeal. In this class are ads that suggest that the product will satisfy some basic human desires. One such浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第8 页共14 页desire is the wish to be admired by other people. Many automobile advertisements are in this category. They imply that other people will admire you, may even be jealous, when they see you driving the hot, new Aardvark car.Another powerful desire to which advertisements appeal is the desire for love. Thus ads for bandages are unlikely to emphasize the way the bandages are made or their low cost; instead, the ads may show a mother tenderly binding up and then kissing her small boy‟s cut finger. In the picture there is an open package of Ouch Bandage. The advertiser hopes the consumer will mentally insert an equal sign to create the equation “Ouch Bandage = Love”.One only needs to look through a magazine or watch an hour of TV in order to see examples of these three different advertising strategies.Questions 21-25 are based on Passage Five.21. We can infer from the passage, when there are different brands of toothpaste ______.A. the products are different from each otherB. the products are more or less the sameC. those brands may have different market valuesD. those brands may vary only in name or color22. A scientific approach in ads may ______.A. impress the consumers more of the productB. mislead the consumers to buy the productC. keep the consumers well informed of the productD. help the consumers see the true value of the product23. “The potential buyer” (para.3) in this context probably refers to______.A. those who may enjoy fun adsB. those who may be amused by the productC. those who may probably buy the productD. those who may be addicted to buying24. What is associated with bandages in the ads, according to paragraph 5?A. Human love from everyone.B. Sympathy from the majority.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第9 页共14 页C. Mother‟s love for her child.D. Insertion of love in people‟s m inds.25. What does the passage imply?A. People should have a clear mind not to be easily lured by the advertisements.B. More scientific methods should be used to make advertisements imaginative.C. Addressers should be cleverer to make their products attractive.D. People‟s desire can be more satisfied by the improved advertisements.II. Vocabulary. (10 points, 1 point for each)Directions: Scan the following passage and find the words which have roughly the same meanings as those given below. The number in the brackets after each word definition refers to the number of paragraph in which the target word is. Write the word you choose on the Answer Sheet.It‟s early August and the countryside appears peaceful. Planting has long been finished and the fields are alive with strong, healthy crops. Soybeans and wheat are flourishing under the hot summer sun. And the corn, which was “keen-high by the fourth of jolly” is now well over six feet tall. Herds of dairy and beef cattle are grazing peacefully in rolling pastures which surround big, red barns and neat white farmhouses. Everything as far as the eye can see radiates a sense of prosperity. Welcome to the Midwest —one of the most fertile agricultural regions of the world.The tranquility of the above scene is misleading. Farmers in the Midwest put in some of the longest workdays of any profession in the United States. In addition to caring for their crops and livestock, they have to keep up with new farming techniques, such as those for combining soil erosion and increasing livestock production. It is essential that farmers adopt these advances in technology if they want to continue to meet the growing demands of a hungry world.Agriculture is the number one industry in the United States and agricultural products are the country‟s leading export. Corn and soybean exports alone account for approximately 75 per cent of the amount sold in the world markets. This productivity, however, has its price. Intensive cultivation exposes the earth to the damaging forces of nature. Every year wind and water remove tons of rich soil from the nation‟s cropland, with the result that soil erosion has become a national problem concerning everyone from the farmer to the consumer. Each field is covered by a limited amount of topsoil, the upper layer of earth which is richest in the nutrient and minerals necessary浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第10 页共14 页for growing crops. Ever since the first farmers arrived in the Midwest almost 200 years ago, cultivation and consequently erosion have been depleting the supply of topsoil. In the 1830s, nearly two feet of rich, black top soil covered the Midwest.26. growing well or thriving in growth as a plant (Para. 1)27. pieces of grassland for cattle to feed on (Para. 1)28. of land that produces good crops (Para. 1)29. the state of calmness and peacefulness (Para. 2)30. the process by which the surface of the earth is worn away by the action of water, glaciers,winds, waves and so on (Para. 2)31. the animals that are kept or raised on a farm (Para. 2)32. the degree to which workers, farmers, companies etc. are able to produce efficiently (Para. 3)33. the surface or upper part of the soil (Para. 3)34. nourishing substance in the farmland (Para. 3)35. lessening greatly in quantity, contents, power or value (Para. 3)III. Summarization. (20 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this section of the test, there are ten paragraphs. Each of the paragraph is followed by an incomplete phrase or sentence which summarizes the main idea of the paragraph. Spell out the missing letters of the word on your Answer Sheet.Paragraph OneEvery culture has specific rules of courtesy and certain words for special situation. What are considered polite manners in one culture might be terribly rude in another. One of the difficulties of learning a foreign language is learning what is considered polite and rude in the culture of that language.36. Using language p_______ within its culture.Paragraph TwoChange is the most changeless thing in the universe. We need to accept all changes —welcome or unwelcome —with the understanding that nothing comes to stay, but only to pass. As two things can never occupy the same space at the same time, one change makes way for the next.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第11 页共14 页37. C_______ is inevitable.Paragraph ThreeWhen Richard Wagner felt out of sorts, he would rave and stamp, or sink into suicidal gloom and talk darkly of going to the East to end his days as Buddhist monk. Ten minutes later, when something pleased him, he would rush out of doors and run around the garden, or jump up and down on the sofa.38. Richard Wagner had some emotional p_______.Paragraph FourAnyone who wants to improve his relationship with others should show a sympathetic understanding. The way to express this understanding and to give others the feeling of importance and worthiness lies in this: always look for something in other people you can admire and praise and tell them about it.39. The a_______ of praising.Paragraph FiveEducation teaches a child to realize that he is not thrown into the world by chance, he has his part to play. He will learn what is useful to him and society at large. Education imparts a great deal of knowledge to his mind and encourages a child to work hard.40. The p_______ of education.Paragraph SixEverybody wastes time. Instead of doing their homework, school boys watch television. Writers neglect their work, and wander in the room making cups of coffee and daydreaming. They all have good intentions, but they keep putting off the moment when they must start work. As a consequence, they feel guilty, and then waste more time.41. The vicious c_______ of wasting time.Paragraph SevenA baby has little memory, but as he grows, he remembers things gradually. Later when he comes to .school age, he is guided to improve his memory by practice. Short poems are given to him to study by heart when he reaches primary stage, so that his mind will not get rusty from disuse.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第12 页共14 页42. A way to d_______ a child‟s memory.Paragraph EightExperts say that moods are emotions that tend to become fixed, influencing one‟s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. Perhaps the best way to deal with bad moods is to talk them out. So next time you feel out of sorts, don‟t head for the drugstore—try the way above-mentioned. 43. How to d_______ with a bad mood.Paragraph NineWillpower is not some unchangeable characteristics we are born with. It is skill that can be developed, strengthened and targeted to help us achieve our goals. For every obstacle we want to overcome, we need willpower, which is an inner strength that will push us to confront challenge and keep us going.44. Willpower can be n_______.Paragraph TenPeople go abroad for various individual purposes. Those who are highly educated are often appointed by their home government to go abroad to act as diplomats or trade commissioners. Some sales representatives are sent by their firms to various parts of the globe to make known their products in order to increase sales.45. R_______ for going abroad.IV. T ranslation. (20 points, 4 points for each)Directions: In the following passage, there are five groups of underlined sentences. Read the passage carefully and then translate these sentences into Chinese. Write the Chinese version on your Answer Sheet.Computers should be in the schools. They have the potential to accomplish great things.46. With the fight software, they could help make science tangible or teach neglected topics like art and music. They could help students form a concrete idea of society by displaying on-screen a version of the city in which they live — a picture that tracks real life moment by moment.In practice, however, computers make our worst educational nightmares come true.47. While we bemoan the decline of literacy, computers discount words in favor of pictures and pictures in favor of video. While we fret about the decreasing cogency of public debate,浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第13 页共14 页computers dismiss linear argument and promote fast, shallow romps across the information landscape. While we worry about basic skills, we allow into the classroom software that will do a stu dent‟s arithmetic or correct his spelling.Take multimedia. The idea of multimedia is to combine text, sound and pictures in a single package that you browse on screen. Y ou do not just read Shakespeare; you watch actors performing, listen to songs and so on. What is wrong with that? 48. By offering children candy-coated books, multimedia is guaranteed to sour them on unsweetened reading. It makes the printed page look even more boring than it used to look. Sure, books will be available in the classroom, too. But they will have all the appeal of dusty piano to a teen who has a Walkman handy.Hypermedia, is just as troubling. It is a way of presenting documents on screen without imposing a linear start-to-finish order. Disembodied paragraphs are linked by theme; after reading one about the First World War, for example, you might be able to choose another about the technology of battleships or the life of Woodrow Wilson. 49. This is another cute idea that is good in minor ways and terrible in major ones. Teaching children to understand the orderly unfolding of a plot or a logical argument is a crucial part of education.Authors do not merely agglomerate paragraphs; they work hard to make the narrative read a certain way, prove a particular point. 50. To turn a book or a document into hypertext is to invite readers to ignore exactly what counts —the story. The real problem, again, is the accentuation of the already bad habits. Dynamiting documents into disjointed paragraphs is one more expression of the sorry fact that sustained argument is not our style. If you are a newspaper or magazine editor and your readership is dwindling, what is the solution? Shorter pieces. If you are a politician and you want to get elected, what do you need? Tasty sound bites. Logical presentation be damned.浙00596#英语阅读（二）试题第14 页共14 页。

2007英语考研二真题
2007英语考研二真题In recent years, the number of students pursuing postgraduate education in English has been increasing rapidly in China. As the national English proficiency test for postgraduate admissions, the English Graduate Entrance Examination (EGEE), commonly known as the English exam for the postgraduate entrance, plays a vital role in determining the success or failure of applicants. In 2007, the EGEE posed a challenging set of questions that tested the candidates' comprehensive understanding of English language skills. Let's take a closer look at the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance.Section I: Reading ComprehensionThe reading comprehension section of the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance primarily focused on testing the candidates' ability to understand and analyze written English passages. It consisted of several passages, each followed by multiple-choice questions that required the candidates to identify the main idea, understand the author's tone, and infer meaning from contextual clues.One particular passage titled "Climate Change: The Human Impact" discussed the relationship between human activities and the Earth's climate. The passage highlighted the adverse effects of greenhouse gas emissions on global warming and suggested that individuals and governments alike should take action to mitigate climate change. Questions based on this passage tested the candidates' understanding of scientific concepts, as well as their ability to draw logical conclusions.Section II: Listening ComprehensionThe listening comprehension section aimed to evaluate the candidates' ability to comprehend spoken English in various contexts. It consisted of multiple recorded dialogues and monologues, followed by questions about the content, main ideas, and specific details. Candidates were required to carefully listen and understand the speaker's main points, supporting arguments, and any implied meanings.One dialogue in the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance focused on job interviews. It simulated a conversation between an interviewer and an interviewee. The dialogue tested the candidates' ability to extract information from a conversation, understand the context, and interpret the intentions of the speakers.Section III: Grammar and VocabularyThe grammar and vocabulary section assessed the candidates' knowledge and application of English grammar rules and vocabulary usage. It comprised various exercises that required candidates to identify errors in sentences, complete sentences with appropriate words, and select synonyms or antonyms based on context.One exercise in the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance asked candidates to identify the grammatical errors in a given set of sentences. This exercise tested the candidates' understanding of English grammar, including subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and sentence structure.Section IV: TranslationThe translation section tested the candidates' ability to accurately translate English sentences into Chinese and vice versa. It consisted of two parts – English to Chinese and Chinese to English translations. The candidates were required to demonstrate their proficiency in both languages and accurately convey the meaning and nuances of the original text.One translation exercise in the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance asked candidates to translate an English sentence into Chinese. This exercise evaluated the candidates' Chinese language skills, as well as their understanding of cultural differences and idiomatic expressions.ConclusionThe 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance provided a comprehensive assessment of candidates' English language skills. Through its challenging reading comprehension, listening comprehension, grammar and vocabulary, and translation sections, the exam tested candidates' abilities to understand and analyze written and spoken English, apply grammatical and vocabulary knowledge, and accurately translate between English and Chinese. This exam played a crucial role in determining the admission of postgraduate students studying in English-speaking institutions in China.Overall, the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance highlighted the importance of comprehensive language proficiency and served as a benchmark for evaluating candidates' English language abilities. It reflected the increasing demand for skilled professionals with strong English language skills in an increasingly globalized world.。
