It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one's own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside Nowadays a superficial traveler in rural Eng1and might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable. Our local grocer's shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news whi1e doing their shopping, instead of queueing up anonymously at a supermarket. And the proprietor knows well that persona1 service has a substantial cash value. His Prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.. The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedlyindividualist in their ways. For example, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thick-set, irritable man whom children treat with marked respect, knowing that an ill-judged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time. He stares with contempt at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash? But we all know he will in fact do excellent work upon them. And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxury.1.The services available in villages nowadays are normally_________.(A) fewer but still very active(B) less successful than earlier but managing to survive(C) active in providing food for the village and tourists(D) surprisingly energetic considering the little demand for them2.The local grocer’s shop is expanding even though________.(A) town shops are more attractive(B) town shops are larger and less well-known(C) people like to shop where they are less well-known(D) people get extra service in town shops3.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about delivering goods?(A) They tend to forget it. (B) They will not consider it. (C) They take it for granted.(D) It does not seem worth their while4.Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that_________.(A) there is a wide range of goos available(B) goods not in stock can be obtained whenever they areneeded(C) special attention is given to the needs of wealthier customers(D) goods are always restocked before they run out5.In what way is the village shoemaker a “formidable figure”?(A) He seems to pay little attention to public opinion.(B) He refuses to mend cheap, mass-produced shoes.(C) He has a very rough temper.(D) He has very high standards of workmanship.Questions 6--10Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to have their attention diverted by a sign that read—A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS.This self-defeating warning has now been removed, but its message is still very much to the point. Almost anything can cause an accident. Apart from momentary inattention, it might be a minor miscalculation, a sudden fit of coughing, a bop on the head with a teddy-bear from a child in the back seat, an argument with the wife, fog, falling asleep at the wheel, bad eyesight, a glaring sun, ice, rain, wind, or snow—a1l these can make the difference between a tragic hit and a lucky miss. Although human error plays its part, it is by no means the only cause of accidents. There must be some cause other than simple human error. Road construction plays its part: researchers have found that it is not at the obvious danger spot—sharp corners, cross-roads, narrow lanes—that accidents happen. It is on those roads where there are subtle visual traps, unexpected changes in the shape or surface ofthe .road, or even insufficient or badly-placed signs.Wherever there is a 'black spot', it means that something is seriously wrong with the road. Why else did the careless driving of so many come out at that particular spot? Whatthe law requires when you have an accident There are, firstly the legal formalities of exchanging names and addresses with others involved in an accident and, in certain cases, informing the police. However, you are requiredby law to stop after an accident only if :l Somebody other than yourself in or outside your car has been injured.2 A vehicle not your own has been damaged.3 Any horse、cow、donkey、sheep, or dog has been injured. It has been saidthat if a driver continues unaware of causing injury he must be acquitted. But the courts are wary of that excuse. Furthermore, the driver himself must wait at the scene; it is not enough for him to leave his chauffeur or a friend to attend to the boring formalities while he goes off on more important business. If you have been involved in an accident and have stopped, you must give your name, address, and registration number to anyone who has a good reason for requesting it; this means anyone affected by the accident. If these formalities are complied with it is not necessary to wait for the arrival of the police. It is, however, often wise to do so. The police are expert at drawing plans, taking measurements and photographs and gathering other evidence. In your absence the police could be given a biased story against you; and you yourself migh wam to point out certain features of the accident to the police.6. A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS' (para.l) is a self defeating Warning because______.(A) it will make a driver wait at the scene(B) it will distract the driver's attention(C) it is too difficult to understand(D) it is too long to be read by drivers7. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) After an accident you have to give your name to anyone who asks for it.(B) Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to ignore the sign.(C) Road construction problems can be a major cause of accidents.(D) A 'black spot' is a part of the road where there are no signs.8. 'Subtle visual traps' (para.3) are ______.(A) places where the police hide in order to trap motorists(B) parts of the road which are deceptive to the driver's eye(C) danger spots such as sharp corners and cross-roads(D) places where there are man road-signs9. As required by the law, you must stop after an accident, if ______.(A) you have been injured by somebody.(B) your car has been damaged.(C) you have injured somebody else(D) you have witnessed the accidentl 0. After an accident it is recommended that you wait for the police because _________.(A) it is against the law to drive off(B) they have to examine your licence and insurance certificate(C) they have to noto the position of your car(D) somebody may give them a false account of the accidentQuestions 1l--15Just as word oil scarcity is already causing international conflicts, so will the scarcity of water reach a point where wars will break out. The statistics on water are already scary. Already well over l billion people suffer from water shortages and 30 countries get more than a third of their water from outside their borders—an obvious source of disputes and instability especially as the climate changes. The whole of the sub-Saharan Africa, most of South Asia and western South America are most at risk. The reason: the rapid melting of glaciers due to global warning. At the meeting of the coalition of 27 Internaional charities last month, Gareth Thomas, minister of Internatonal Development of the British government, wrote to prime minister Gordon Brown demanding action to ensure fresh water to l.l billion people with poor supplies. "If we do not act now, the reality is that water supplies may become the subject of international conflict in the years ahead. We need to invest now to prevent us having to pay that price in the future", Thomas said. The department warned that two-thirds of the word's population will live in water-stressed countries by 2025.The coalition of charities has appealed for a global effort to bring running water to the developing world and supply sanitation to a further 2.6 billion people. It said that international investment is needed now to prevent competition for water to destabilize communities and escalate into conflicts. Tackling the water and sanitation crisis is essential if the Millennium Development Goal Call to Action is to be a success. Otherwise, progress on health, education, and environment sustainability will be undermined. Each year 443 million school days are lost globally to diarrhea and l .8 million children die from these diseases. In fact, it is often not realized that investing insanitation and water brings the greatest public health gains, more than any other single development intervention and delivers enormous economic gains. Already, some Asian countries have put tackling these issues at the forefront of their development efforts. The Millennium Development Goals aim to halve the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water by 20l5. To achieve that urgent action needs to be taken. There is no doubt that climate change is potentially the most important factor affecting water shortage. This,compounded with a growing and increasingly urbanized global population will put pressure on food and water. For a temperature rise of 2 C, which is likely to happen by 2050, there would be a catastrophic 2 to 3 billion people suffering from water stress.l l. What does the author think is primarily responsible for water shortages in the world ?(A) Climate chance. (B) Border dispute. (C) World competition.(D) Political instabilityl2. According to Gareth Thomas, _______ is the price we have to pay for water shortage if we do not take immediate action.(A ) sanitation crisis (B) international conflict (C) global warming (D) over-urbanizationl3. What can the coalition of charities do to prevent competition for water ?(A) Appealing for international investment.(B) Bringing running water to the developing world.(C) Supplying sanitation to billions of water-stressed people.(D) Enhancing world environment sustainabilityl4. The Millennium Development Goals aim to_______ in the near future.(A) tackle the water and sanitation crisis(B) yield economic gains as well as public health gains(C) make progress on health, education and environment sustainability(D) provide more people with clean drinking water15. According to the passage, what will add to water shortage ?(A) Oil scarcity. (B) A drop in temperature (C) A growing population. (D) Reduced food supplyQuestions 16.-20Parenting was never a piece of cake in any age, but probably the greatest source of headache for parents today in Japan is the ubiquitous cellphone . Today, 96 percent of senior high school students and 58 percent of junior high school students have cellphones. Even among primary school children, 3l percent have them. By enabling youngsters to stay connected with their parents at all times, these gadgets help to keep children safe. For the kids, they are fun toys, too, that let them text to or chat with their pals whenever they want, play Internet games, and enjoy blogging for their own profile and diary purposes. But terrible dangers lurk beneath all that fun and convenience. Every year about l,000 children become involved in rape and other crimes through dating service sites. Violent and obscene images are only a couple of clicks away. On gakkoura saito, or so-called unofficial school websites where kids can post whatever they want, anyone can fall victim to brutal ''verbal mob lynching" by their peers. Amid today's urgent need to address these problems, the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding has issued a report. In response to the Prime Minister's recent comments---“I cannot think of one good reason for (letting youngsters)have a cellphone" and "I would like everyone to discuss whether cellphones are really necessary:" ----the report recommended that "parents, guardians, schools and all parties concerned should cooperate among themselves, so that elementary school pupils and junior high school students do not have a cellphone unless there is a compelling reason for them to do so. "But since many parents believe in the necessity of cellphones as a safety tool, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to do away with them. Rather, it would make more sense for guardians, schools and cellphone companies to consider, from their respective standpoints, how cellphones should be used by children. We suggest that parents sit down with their offspring and talk about their “house rules” for cellphone use. For instance, set the hours allowed, so the kids won't be texting to their friends late into the night, remind them never to give away personal information online, and so on.But there are limits to what individual families can do, and this is where we also suggest that schools should educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use. One way to go about this, for instance, may be for each class to set its own rules on sending e-mail messages.l6. The word "ubiquitous" (para.l) is closest in meaning to ________.(A) updated (B) sophisticated(C) prevalent (D) obsoletel7. Many parents let their kids have cellphones because they ________.(A) want their kids to keep up with the IT World(B) can't think of anything better for their kids to have fun(C) don't want their kids to miss 'what other kids have(D) believe cellphones enable them to stay connectedl8. Which of the following is NOT the potential risk kids mayface when using cellphones?(A) Involvement in rape-related crime(B) Exposure to violent and obscene images(C) Falling victim to brutal curses.(D) Being tracked down by unofficial school websites.l9. The report issued by the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding______.(A) recommended minimizing the use of cellphones among kids(B) suggested setting “house rules” for cellphone use(C) urged parents to remind their children about ce1lphone use(D) pressed schools to educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use20. What is the main idea of the passage?(A) Parents neglect to protect their kids from cellphones.(B) Parenting with cellphones is a source of headache.(C) Cellphones should be banned from campus.(D) Kids need lessons on the uses of cellphonesQuestion 21--25Extract IA stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet as perfect foil to an eclectic array of furniture. Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together The prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat's occupant. He is pictured in his living room which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining room by a high Medieval-styled archway where was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.Extract 2Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising. This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, or by fitting wood paneling over them.As wood paneling can be secured over almost anyting---including oid ceramic tiles and chipped walls--- is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration. The paneling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.Extract 3Cooking takes second place in this charming room which, with its deep armchairs, is more of a sitting room than a kitchen, and the new Rayburn stove as a good choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace. There are no fitted units or built-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farmbouse table in the foreground; and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display. What about the kitchen sink? It's hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery. Here there's a second cooker and--- in the best farmhouse tradition--- a huge walk-in larder for all food storage.2l. Why is the colour of the carpet described in Extract l a particular advantage?(A) It livens up the colour in an otherwise dull room.(B) It provides a contrast to the furniture.(C) It blends in with the tones of the furniture.(D) It gives the room a classical style.22.

Unit ten. Part one. We are surrounded by news. 2. Exercises.1. This is a talk about the work of a journalist. Listen and supply the missing words you hear from the talk.Nowadays more than ever before we are surrounded by news. You can get the news on radio, on television, in newspapers, and on the internet. In fact so many new stories appear everyday that is impossible to keep up with them. And behind all of these stories there is a journalist. First of all there are different kinds of journalists like entertainment journalists, sports journalists, and crime journalists. And they all work hard to deliver the news 24 hours a day. So how exactly do they find and write stories? Let’s look at the work of one type of journalist, a city reporter. Sometimes journalists are called reporters because they report the news. So a city reporter is a person assigned to find and write stories about local news. How does the reporter do her work? Well, to begin with she should be in contact with lots of different organizations, the local police, and fire apartments, the offices of local politicians, and religious and civic organizations in the neighborhood. Once the reporter had a good relationship wi th these organizations she can call them to see what’s happening or they might call her to tell her about something that’s going on. There are two kinds of story she could write about. The first is a planned event for which the reporter can anticipate many of the details. For example, a politician could be opening a new department store. The second is an unplanned event. For example, a fire or a crime. Usually unplanned events are more exciting.2. Listen to a talk about the types of news and then provide the missing information in the spaces given below.Let’s look at one kind of unplanned event, a crime. Imagine that a fight breaks up between 4 men in a neighborhood bar, and one of the men threatens another with a knife. The reporter will probably see a few lines about the crime in the police log. When she knows what happened she can go to the scene of the crime and interview people. The first person she will want to interview is a police officer. So that she can get the facts. There are four very important facts that every reader wants to know at the beginning of every story. One, what happened? Two, when did it happen? Three, where did it happen? And four, who was involved? Once the reporter has the basic facts of the story she can begin to interviewwit nesses. When you are interviewing witnesses it’s very important to get each witnesses full name and some other details, perhaps the person’s job or age. These details will make the story more interesting and credible. However, it’s important not to report too much personal information or anything that is scandaless.

I’d like to get your opinion about the news. This is a short conversation about the news in a newspaper. Listen and choose the best answer to each question you hear.1. I’d like to get your opinion about the news.W: Hi, Brown, I’d like to get your opinion about the news.M: OK. Well, I get most of my news on the internet. But I read papers too.W: And what do you think about the news in the newspaper?M: What I noticed about the papers is that the news is really depressing, especially the main stories. You have bombings, and accidents, and people killing people. I find more and more that the news in the United States i s getting focused on negative things. It’s always a disasterof some sort.W: So you think it’s very negative.M: Yeah. And there is something else. I’d like to read about international news. But it seems that people hear aren’t really that interested in it. I read somewhere I can’t remember that it is a prestige thing to cover the international news.W: And you don’t think people in the United States like the international news.M: No, I don’t. But because I have lived in so many countries around the w orld I am interested in international news. The news in Korea is from everywhere, the United States, Europe, Japan, China. Anyway what I like about newspapers are the arts and cultural sections, and the human interests stories which can be really up-liftin g. I’d like to read about people. For example, there was a story about some crime in the park, but now they are examining that case again. And it turns out that the five young people who they thought did it might be innocent actually. It was shocking that the judicial system had failed in the beginning. But I am glad they finally found out that those young people were innocent.W: So you liked that story.M: Yeah, I mean that kind of news. People could actually read it and feel positive like you could really improve the system or whatever compared to the news that is depressing. You feel helpless. You can’t do anything about it.Questions:1) What’s Brown’s opinion about the news in the newspaper?2) What type of news does Brown like to read about?3) Why is he interested in international news?4) Brown likes several sections in newspapers. Which of the following is not one of those sections?5) Which of the following statements is true about Brown?2. How do you become a foreign correspondent? Listen to the interview with a journalist and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: How do become a foreign correspondent?M: Usually you have to start at the beginning. That is you have to begin as a journalist of some sort on a local newspaper, a local radio station, maybe on this small magazine workyou way up. Now there aren't that many organizations which have large numbers of foreign correspondents. So you also have to sort of work with that aim in mind. Another way of doing it is to work abroad and work as a free-lance what we call a stringer, that’s somebody who sells stories and gets paid by the price to newspapers and magazines, and so on, and hoping to build up a reputation that way, and eventually to be offered a full time job. And that sometimes works. But I think to be honest, most people just drift into being foreign correspondents.W: What qualifications do you need? For example, a degree?M: I don’t really know what qualifications as such. I mean obviously a degree in moder n languages or political science or economics would be very useful. But a degree in itself probably won’t be enough to make an editor to decide to send you abroad. So it’s difficult to define precise qualities. You are going to need stamina, and ability to assimilate information quickly and accurately, and then produce stories which fit the style of the newspaper or radio or television station you work for. But there is no list of qualifications that an editor is going to be looking for when he is trying to appoint a new correspondent to a particular place. And so it often becomes a fairly personal choice I think.Questions:1) What’s the interview mainly about?2) According to the interview if you want to become a foreign correspondent you have to do something as a start. Which of the following is not one of these things mentioned in the interview?3) According to the interview what qualifications are needed for being a foreign correspondent?4) Which of the following statements is true when an editor is trying to appoint a foreign correspondent?中级口译听力教程第三版5AAn intermediate course of English listening. Third edition.Unit 10. Part 3. 3. Advertising is part of our daily lives. Listen to a passage about advertising and then provide the missing information in the spaces given below.Advertising is part of our daily lives. To realize this fact you have only to live through themagazine or newspaper, or count the radio or television commercials that you hear in one evening. Most people see and hear several hundred advertizing messages everyday. And people respond to the many devices that advertisers use to gain their attention. Advertizing is a big business, and to many people a fascinating business filled with attraction and excitement. It is part literature, part art, and part show business. Advertizing is the difficult business of bringing information to great numbers of people. The purpose of an advertisement is to make people respond. To make them react to an idea, such as helping prevent forest fires, or to make them want to buy a certain product or service. At the beginning of the 20th century, advertizing was described as salesmanship imprint. If this definition work expanded to include radio and television, it would still stand today. The most effective way to sell something is through person to person contact. But the cost of person to person selling is high, because it takes a great deal of time. It increases the cost of the product or service. Advertising distributes the selling message to many people at one time. The first printed advertisement in the English language appeared in 1478. This early ad was the work of England’s first printer. He used it to advertize religious books from his own workshop. He posted small printed notices along London’s main streets. Besides advertising his product he identified his shop with a red stripe shield so that customers could find it easily.Part four. Listening and translation. 2. Exercises.1. Sentence translation. Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.1) Shirley, the best course of action would be to consult your lawyer before you sign the contract. Anyway, this is a big contract, and it is vital for your company.2) We can definitely assum e that this year’s show has been a huge success for the exhibitors, and that the fare has given the economy a significant impulse.3) I have certain reservations about setting up a branch in that area. It may be very difficult to expand into the market there.4) People have grown accustomed in recent years to higher and higher rates of inflation though sometimes they still make complaints.5) The success of any retail store depends largely on its sales workers. Courteous and efficient service from behind the counter does much to build up the store’s reputation.2. Passage translation. Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below. You may take notes while you are listening.1) My car is always breaking down. I have so much trouble with it. I wish there were some kind of device that would monitor the different parts of your car. You know, some kind of machine that will tell you when the engine is not working well or there are any problems of the brak es. That way I wouldn’t have to worry about my car. I could just take it to the garage right away and get it fixed.2) In this talk I would like to deal with the sources of the strength of the trade union movements in Britain. Trade unions in Britain are generally believed nowadays to be in a position of great political strength. What is this strength based on? I am going to suggest that it is based on three things, political power, economic power, and the protection of the law.Unit tenPart One We are surrounded by NewsTo assign分配给某人一部分工作去做或一份东西去使用/指定某人做一工作或任一职务; 委派, 选派某人/指定（时间﹑地点）; 确定（原因）/将（财产﹑权利等）转让予某人; 过户予某人.Civic集镇的; 城市的; 市的/公民的; 公民身分的; 市民的To anticipate预见到（要发生的事或需要做的事）而采取措施/先（於别人而）做（某事）; 抢先於（某人[某事物/期望, 预料（某事物/预先处理或提前使用（某事物Police log警方日志Witness事故（现场）的目击者/（在法庭上经宣誓的）证人/证词（尤指法庭中的）; 证明; 证据:Credible可信的; 可靠的Scandalous adj. 不体面的, 可耻的, 可恶的Part twoTo take after 照顾/与... 相像Canteen工厂﹑办事处﹑学校等的）食堂./ 一套刀﹑叉﹑勺的）餐具箱/士兵或露营者的）水壶.Part threeTake... with a grain of salt 不能完全相信Biased adj. 有偏见的Prestige 威望，影响力Uplifting adj. 令人振奋的Judicial法庭的; 司法的; 法官的; 审判的/善於判断的; 有判断力的; 明断的; 公正的Crossword puzzle纵横填字字谜Part fourCourteous彬彬有礼的; 客气的1.Surely the best course of action would be to consult your lawyer before you signthe contract.

中级口译考试练习题

中级口译考试练习题练习一英译中The expansion of the universities since the beginning of World War II and the great increase in number of college graduates and ph. Ds have produced a corps of technicians, aides, speechwriters, symbol manufactures, investigators, and policy proposers who are now employedby practical men in all institutions. These people, called intellectuals in the sense that they deal with symbols and ideas, have become professionalized in exactly the same sense as the engineer. Unlike the engineer, however, these professional intellectuals are free from muchof the routine grind of daily work: they carry light teaching load and enjoy government and foundation grants and subsidies for their research.The professor's project budget is the initial economic base that supports his independence within the university. The project budget sustains both the existence of graduate students and the fiscal solvency of the university, which takes a percentage "overhead" out of every project budget. The major feature of project money, whether its sourceis government or business, is that it is given on a contractual basis, a different contract for each project, so that the investigator's independence rests upon his capacity to secure a succession of contracts. The ability to secure contracts is a genuine talent among professional intellectuals.【参考译文】第二次世界大战以来，大学的数目不断增长，本科、甚至是博士毕业生也与日俱增，从而诞生了大批的技术人员、助手、演讲稿撰写人、徽章生产商、调查人员和政策研究员，他们效力于各类务实的研究所中。

Unit 6I.You are going to hear a short passage about advertising. Listen to the passage carefully and note down what you hear. Pay attention to the structure of your notes. Then interpret your notes in the target language.AdvertisingAdvertising reaches people through various forms of mass media. These media include newspapers, magazines, television, radio and posters and hoardings. Advertisers buy space in newspaper and magazines to publish their advertisements. They buy time on television and radio to broadcast their commercials.One of the many advantages of newspapers is that most adults read a daily newspaper, and many of them specifically check the advertisements for information about products, services, or special sales. Magazines are usually read in a leisurely manner and are often kept for weeks or months before being discarded. One of the main advantages of television to advertisers is that it brings sight, sound and action directly to consumers in their homes. An advantage of advertising on radio is that people can listen to programs while doing other things, like driving their cars or working at home.II.

Questions 1~5In a bay near Almeria in Southern Spain will be built the world's first underwater residence for tourists. The hotel will be 40 feet down in the Mediterranean. As all the world opened to tour operators, there was still a frontier behind which lay three quarters of the globe's surface, the sea; in whose cool depths light fades; no winds blow; there are no stars. There even the most bored travelers could recapture their sense of romance, terror or beauty. For a submerged hotel is such a beautiful idea. The hotel will cost 170,000 and will be able to accommodate up to ten people a night. Up until now only scientists and professional divers have lived under the sea, but soon, for the first time, the public will be able to go down into the darkness. They will have to swim down in diving suits, but at 40 feet there would be no problem about decompression.Design of the hotel was crucial. Most of the underwater structures used before had been in the shape of a diving bell or submarine. Professional divers could cope with such things but ordinary people would run the risk of violent claustrophobia. Then an Austrian architect had the idea of making three interconnecting circular structures, 18 feet in diameter, and looking much like flying saucers. They would be cast in concrete and launched from the shore. Towed into position they would then be sunk. A foundation of cast concrete would already be in place on the sea- bed. Pylons would attach the structures to this. Once in position the structures would be pumped dry. The pylons made to withstand an uplift pressure of 350 tons, would then take the strain.Cables linking the underwater structures to the hotel on shore would connect it with electricity, fresh water, television, and an air pump, and also dispose of sewage. Entry would be from underneath, up a ladder; because of the pressure inside there would be no need of airlocks or doors.The first structure would include a changing room and a shower area, where the divers would get out of their gear. There would also be a kitchen and a lavatory. The second structure would contain a dining room/ lecture theatre, and sleeping accommodation for eight people. The third structure would contain two suites. A steward would come down with the ten customers, to cook and look after them. Television monitors would relay all that went on to the shore so that discussions on the sea bed could be transmitted to all the world.1.From the passage we understand that tour operators and travelers will be interested in the submerged hotel as___________.(A) it is a quiet place for research work (B) it is an ideal sea- food restaurant (C) it will offer new possibilities (D) it will have unchanging weather2. What design was finally considered most suitable for the new hotel?(A) Three separated circles. (B) Three linked discs.(C) Three connected globes. (D) Three interlocked cylinders.3. The hotel would be able to float under water because it would be ____________.(A) made of light material (B) 350 tons in weight(C) filled with air (D) attached to pylons4. It is planned that sleeping quarters will be provided for the guests in the __________.(A) second structure (B) second and third structures(C) first and third structures (D) third structure5. The purpose of television monitors under the sea would be to relay ____________.(A). instructions from the sea bed to the shore(B). news from the shore to the sea bed(C).information from the world to the sea bed(D). information to the world from the sea bedQuestions 6~10For most people, boasting about oneself does not come naturally. It is not easy or comfortable to tell someone all the wonderful things you have accomplished. But that is exactly what you need to do if you are seeking a new job, or trying to hold on to the one you have.Of course, there is a fine line between self- confidence and arrogance, so to be successful in winning over the interviewer you must learn to maximize your accomplishments and attributes without antagonizing the interviewer.The natural tendency for most job seekers is to behave modestly in a job interview. To do the best job of selling yourself in an interview, you have to be prepared in advance. As part of your job- hunting check list, write down on a piece of paper your major job- related accomplishments. Commit them to memory. You will probably be pleasantly surprised to see in writing all that you have done.By developing this list, you will have accomplished two things: the first is you will impress the interviewer by being able to talk confidently and succinctly about your accomplishments. You will not have to sit uncomfortably while you think of your successes. They will be at the tip of your tongue. Secondly, rather than dwell on your own personality characteristics, such as how hardworking or creative you are, you can discuss hard facts, such as how you saved your employer money or an idea you developed that helped a customer man more money. When chronicling your accomplishments for the interviewer, take as much credit as you honestly can. If you developed a specific idea without help from your supervisor, it is acceptable to say that. Remember, you are at that interview to sell yourself, not your former co- workers.However, never criticize your former employer. Sharing your negative thoughts with the interviewer is an immediate turn- off and will only brand you as a complainer and gossip, whom no one likes or will hire.Keep in mind that the most important part of a job interview is making the employer like you and presenting yourself as the person he or she wants you to be. Consciously or not most employers tend to hire people who reflect their own values and standards.Once you get the job you want, boasting about your accomplishments does not stop. Although you may think all your successes and achievements are highly visible, remember that you are only one lf many people in a company. Lack of recognition is cited by a majority of discharged managers as the most frequent complaint against the former employer.To help make yourself more visible in the company, volunteer for additional assignments— both job- related and non-business related. These could include community relations or charitable activities in which your company is involved. These types of activities may enable you to have more time and access to top executives of the company to whom you may endear yourself. You might even have the opportunity to tell them what you are doing for the company, which can never hurt.6. This article is mostly about how to _________________.(A) interview for a job (B) please your boss(C) get along with co- workers (D) get and keep a job7. In Paragraph 2, the wo rd “maximize” means to ___________.(A) talk about (B) make the most of(C) be modest about (D) play down8. The author states that the one thing you should never do during an interview is__________.(A) list your successes in previousjobs(B) promote your qualifications for thejob(C) tell your potential boss about the projects you ve worked on(D) make negative comments about your former employer9. The author provides his views on winning and holding a new job by ______________.(A) offering suggestions (B) presenting facts and statistics(C) describing extreme situations (D) telling stories10. In the passage, the author recommends all of the following EXCEPT _____________.(A) making a point of telling your supervisor what you have done(B) taking part in non- business- related activities(C) going on boasting about your successes and achievements(D) giving the employer an idea on how to run his other businessQuestions 11~155 Steps to Living Longer1 Watch Your TemperScientists have long believed that Type A's—those people driven by ambition, hard work and tight deadlines—were most prone to heart attacks. But it's not striving for goals that leads to disease; rather, it's being hostile, angry and cynical.Suggests Mittleman: if stress mounts so high that you begin snapping at people, “Ask yourself, Is it worth having a heart attack over this?’”2 Lighten Your Dark Moodsfor years, evidence linking depression to an increased risk of heart attack has been growing. Johns Hopkins researchers interviewed 1551 people who were free of heart disease in the early 1980s and again 14 years later. Those who reported having experienced major depression were four times as likely to have a heart attack as those who had not been depressed. Exercise is an often overlooked antidepressant. In a study at Duke University, 60 percent of clinically depressed people who took a brisk 30- minute walk or jog at least three times a week were no longer depressed after 16 weeks.3 Flatten That BellyMore than 50 years ago French scientist Jean Vague noted that people with a lot of upper- body fat (those who looked like apples rather than pears) often developed heart disease, diabetes and other ailments. But it wasn't until the introduction of CT and MRI scans that doctors discovered that a special kind of fat, visceral fat, located within the abdomen, was strongly linked to these diseases.According to the National Institutes of Health, there's trouble brewing when your waist measures 35 inches or more if you're a woman, and 40 inches or more if you re a man. And that's regardless of height.4 Limit Your Bad HabitsHeavy drinking. Moderate drinkers may be the least likely to develop Metabolic Syndrome, while alcoholics are the most likely. In part that's because, pound for pound, they carry more abdominal fat. In one Swedish study, researchers found that male alcoholics carried 48 percent of their body fat within the abdomen, compared with 38 percent for teetotalers. Cigarette smoking. Smoking is dangerous for reasons besides lung cancer or emphysema. Some 60 minutes after smoking a cigarette, one study revealed, smokers still showed elevated levels of cortisol, which promotes abdominal fat storage. Over-caffeinating. Moderate caffeine consumption doesn't seem to be harmful for most people. But recent studies suggest that when men who have both high blood pressure and a family history of hypertension drink a lot of caffeinated coffee while under job stress, they may experience a dangerous rise in blood pressure.5 Rev Up Your MetabolismA new understanding of how disease sets up shop in your body focuses on metabolism—the sum of physical and chemical reactions necessary to maintain life. This approach reveals that a healthy metabolic profile counts for more than cardiovascular fitness or weight alone.As Glenn A. Gasser, professor of exercise physiology at the University of Virginia, notes, “Metabolic fit ness is one of the best safeguards against heart disease, stroke and diabetes. ”11. The phrase “snapping at” (Step 1: Watch Your Temper) is closest in meaning to __________.(A) Judging severely (B) declaring publicly(C) answering rudely (D) understanding wrongly12. According to the passage, which of the following people are liable to incur and suffer from heart attacks?(A) Those whose waist measures 35 inches or less.(B) Those who take a brisk 20- minute walk twice a week.(C) Those who have experienced major depression.(D) Those who have been striving for goals.13. Stress may lead to all of the following EXCEPT_____________.(A) hostile disposition (B) cynical behaviour(C) over- caffeinating (D) great ambition14. According to the passage, what kind of people are teetotalers (Step 4: Limit Your Bad Habits)?(A) Non- alcoholics. (B) Heavy drinkers.(C) Chain smokers. (D) Non- smokers.15.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?(A) There is trouble brewing when your waist measures 35 inches or less.(B) Metabolic fitness might prevent people from having heart disease.(C) Moderate drinkers may be the most likely to develop Metabolic Syndrome.(D) Moderate caffeine consumption seems to be harmful for most people. Questions 16~20World prehistory is written from data recovered from thousands of archaeological sites, places where traces of human activity are to be found. Sites are normally identified through the presence of manufactured tools.Archaeological sites are most commonly classified by the activity that occurred there. Habitation sites are places where people lived and carried out a wide range of different activities. Most prehistoric sites come under this category, but habitation sites can vary from a small open campsite through rockshelters and caves, to large accumulations of shellfish remains (shell middens). Village habitation sites may consist of a small accumulation of occupation deposit and mud hut fragments, huge earthen mounds, or communes of stone buildings or entire buried cities. Each presents its own special excavation problems. Burial sites provide a wealth of information on the prehistoric past. Grinning skeletons are very much part of popular archaeological legend, and human remains are common finds in the archaeological record. The earliest deliberate human burials are between fifty and seventy thousand years old. Individual burials are found in habitation sites, but often the inhabitants designated a special area for a cemetery. This cemetery could be a communal burial place where everyone was buried regardless of social status. Other burial sites, lik the Shang royal cemeteries in China, were reserved for nobility alone. Parts of a cemetery were sometimes reserved for certain special individuals in society such as clan leaders or priests. The patterning of grave goods in a cemetery can provide information about intangible aspects of human society such as religious beliefs or social organization. So can the pattern of deposition of the burials, their orientation in their graves, even family grouping. Sometimes physical anthropologists can detect biological similarities between different skeletons that may reflect close family, or other, ties.Quarry sites are places where people mined prized raw materials such as obsidian (a volcanic glass used for fine knives and mirrors) or copper .Excavations at such sites yield roughed out blanks of stone, or metal ingots, as well as finished products ready for trading elsewhere. Such objects were bartered widely in prehistoric times.Art Sites such as the cave of Altamira in northern Spain, or Lascaux in southwesternFrance, are commonplace in some areas of the world, noticeably southern Africa and parts of North America. Many are cavesand rockshelters where prehistoric people painted or engraved game animals, scenes of daily life, or religious symbols. Some French art sites are at least fifteen thousand years old.Each of these site types represents a particular form of human activity, one that is represented in the archaeological record by specific artifact and surface indications found and recorded by the archaeologist.16.An archaeological site is defined as a place where __________.(A) some record of human activity is found(B) humans bury beloved animals(C) evidence of plant or animal life exists(D) particular rock formations suggest the patterns of history17. Generally speaking, archaeological sites are classified according to___________.(A) the people who lived there(B) the historical period during which they were occupied(C) the type of activity for which they were used(D) the degree of civilization of those who lived there18.The author mentions all of the following features of graves which may provide archaeologists with information about a particular society EXCEPT_______.(A) the location of the grave (B) the goods buried with the person(C) The degree of preservation of the body(D) The orientation of the body in the grave19. Quarry sites are places where ________________.(A) paintings showing scenes of daily life(B) engravings of famous people(C) paintings recording the location of burial sites(D) tools and primitive devices used for engraving20. According to the passage, art sites often contain .(A) paintings showing scenes of daily life(B) engravings of famous people(C) paintings recording the location of burial sites(D) tools and primitive devices used for engravingQuestions 21~25I got used, too, to my employer's violent changes of front. There was one morning when Siegfried came down to breakfast, rubbing a hand wearily over red- rimmed eyes.“Out at 2 a. m. ,” he groaned, buttering his toast listlessly, “And I don't like to have to say this, James, but it's all your fault.”“My fault?” I said, startled.“Yes lad, your fault. The farmer has a sick cow for several days and at 2 o'clock this morning he finally decided to call the vet. When I pointed out it could have waited a few hours more he said Mr. Herriot told him never to hesitate to ring—he'd come out any hour of the day or night.”。

翻译资格考试二级口译模拟题Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Both language and culture are learned by children without special organized programs of instruction, but motivation to learn is very high since language is the most effective means for a child to obtain what he or she wants. If the learning of a new language begins before lower adolescence, one is likely to be able to speak such a language with complete naturalness, but if learned after upper adolescence some hangover of a mother-tongue feature is very likely to persist. But not only do languages exhibit such learning patterns, but so do cultural traits, for example, shaking hands, kissing, and embracing.Although many persons assume that languages exist in dictionaries and grammars, in fact they only exist in people’s heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a person’s value system when crucial decisions need to be made before there is any time to think about alternatives, for example, diving into a flooding stream to rescue a drowning child.分析：① Both language and culture are learned by children without special organized programs of instruction, but motivation to learn is very high since language is the most effective means for a child to obtain (what heor she wants).译文1 ：语言和文化学习，对儿童来说并不存在特定的程序和方案，但是由于语言是儿童得偿所愿最有效的方式，因而他们学语言的主观能动性是很高的。

Work of a journalist
Nowadays more than ever before we are surrounded by news. You can get the news on radio, on television, in newspapers, and on the internet. In fact so many new stories appear everyday that is impossible to keep up with them. And behind all of these stories there is a journalist.
First of all there are different kinds of journalists like entertainment journalists, sports journalists, and crime journalists. And they all work hard to deliver the news 24 hours a day. So how exactly do they find and write stories? Let’s look at the work of one type of journalist, a city reporter. Sometimes journalists are called reporters because they report the news. So a city reporter is a person assigned to find and write stories about local news.
How does the reporter do her work? Well, to begin with she should be in contact with lots of different organizations, the local police, and fire departments, the offices of local politicians, and religious and civic organizations in the neighborhood. Once the reporter has a good relationship with these organizations she can call them to see what’s happening or they might call her to tell her about something that’s going on.
There are two kinds of story she could write about. The first is a planned event for which the reporter can anticipate many of the details. For example, a politician could be opening a new department store. The
second is an unplanned event. For example, a fire or a crime. Usually unplanned events are more exciting.
Type of News
Let’s look at one kind of unplanned event, a crime. Imagine that a fight breaks up between 4 men in a neighborhood bar, and one of the men threatens another with a knife. The reporter will probably see a few lines about the crime in the police log. When she knows what happened she can go to the scene of the crime and interview people. The first person she will want to interview is a police officer. So that she can get the facts.
There are four very important facts that every reader wants to know at the beginning of every story. One, what happened? Two, when did it happen? Three, where did it happen? And four, who was involved? Once the reporter has the basic facts of the story she can begin to interview witnesses.
When you are interviewing witnes ses it’s very important to get each witnesses full name and some other details, perhaps the person’s job or age. These details will make the story more interesting and credible. However, it’s important not to report too much personal information or anything that is scandals.
When the reporter has finished interviewing people she will go back to the news room and write the story. At that point she might talk to her editor to decide whether she has a good story. Together the reporter and editor must decide whether the reporter has enough facts and material to
make a good story. Is it clear what happened and why?。
