I would like to extend my greetings to you, Mr. President and to all the distinguished guests and delegates here today. [TONE] // [TONE]I would also like to recognize the presence of three generations of landmine survivors who have traveled here from many countries. They are a constant reminder of the urgency of achieving a total and universal ban on anti-personnel mines. [TONE] // [TONE]As a Special Representative of the Secretary-General to the Conference on Disarmament, I am very much encouraged by the many strides made towards the total eradication of anti-personnel mines which provide us with a good example fordisarmament efforts in all directions. The opening of the International Center for demining here in Geneva in 1996 and the entering into force of the Mine-Ban Convention in March 1999 are a few of the milestones which merit special mention.

中级口译全真模拟试题试题一:科技发展与环境保护1.What measures has the Chinese government taken to promote thedevelopment of sci-tech and environmental protection?2.How does technology contribute to environmental protection?3.Can you provide some examples of technological innovations thathave helped reduce environmental pollution?4.What role do international cooperation and collaboration play inthe field of science and technology?5.What challenges do countries face in balancing scientificadvancement with environmental protection?答案:1.The Chinese government has taken a number of measures to promotethe development of science and technology as well as environmental protection. Firstly, it has increased its investment in research and development in order to support technological innovation.Secondly, it has implemented policies and regulations to encourage the use of green technologies and the sustainable development of industries. Thirdly, it has established platforms to promoteinternational cooperation and exchange in the field of science and technology.2.Technology plays a crucial role in environmental protection byproviding innovative solutions to improve resource efficiency, reduce pollution, and develop sustainable practices. For example,advanced waste treatment technologies can convert waste intoenergy and reduce landfill usage. Renewable energy technologies such as solar and wind power can replace fossil fuels and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, the use of digitaltechnologies can optimize industrial processes, leading to higher energy efficiency and reduced carbon emissions.3.There have been numerous technological innovations that havehelped reduce environmental pollution. One example is thedevelopment of catalytic converters in automobiles, which convert harmful pollutants in vehicle exhaust gases into less harmfulsubstances. Another example is the implementation of wastewater treatment technologies that can remove harmful chemicals andpollutants before discharging treated water into rivers or oceans.Additionally, the development of electric vehicles has reduced air pollution caused by traditional gasoline or diesel-poweredvehicles.4.International cooperation and collaboration play a vital role inthe field of science and technology. Countries can share their knowledge, expertise, and resources to tackle common globalchallenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and public health issues. Through international cooperation, countries can collaborate on research projects, exchange scientific data, and develop joint initiatives to solve global problems. International organizations and agreements also facilitate coordination andcooperation among countries, leading to more effective andimpactful scientific endeavors.5.Balancing scientific advancement with environmental protectionposes several challenges for countries. On one hand, countries need to invest in scientific research and development to staycompetitive in the global arena, stimulate economic growth, and improve the quality of life for their citizens. On the other hand, they need to consider the environmental impact and sustainability of technological advancements. There is often a trade-off between economic development and environmental protection, and finding a balance requires careful policy-making and planning. Additionally, the rapid pace of technological innovation can sometimes outstrip environmental regulations, leading to unintended negativeconsequences. Therefore, countries must proactively anticipate and address the potential environmental risks associated withscientific advancements.。

Everything else is secondary.SECTION 2: STUDA SKILLSLike many people, I've always seen the Olympics as the "main" sporting event held every four years—the headline act—and the Paralyrnpics as something of an "add-on"—the supporting act. It you are not disabled yourself it is hard to understand some of the games and the athletes mobility problems.But being in the host city for these Paralympics changed my perspective.I came to realize these athletes were nothing short of superheroes. Deprived of physical abilities that able-bodied people take for granted, they made up for them and then some. They tested their senses and the boundaries of physical ability to extremes that the Bolts and Phelpses of this world would never have to.If some Olympic runners had to undergo a double-amputation, I wonder if they would strap two carbon fiber blades to their knees like Oscar Pistorius, also known as Blade Runner, of South Africa, and relearn everything that once came naturally.If some Olympic swimming heroes suddenly went blind, would they have the courage to still surge through the water like Donovan Tildesley, not knowing when they would reach the end of the pool? Would any of us have the guts to turn around a life-changing experience like a car crash or bad rugby scrum. And not only get our lives back on track but then strive to be the best at a sport?"What Paralympic sport would you do if you were disabled?" was a water-cooler question I posed today. It's not something you would normally think about. You don't watch TV as a kid aspiring to be a Paralympian. But it takes more than early mornings, training programs and special diets to get to the Paralympics. It takes a tragedy or loss that will have been grieved over, worked through and overcome.Skiing is terrifying enough if you have all your faculties. Standing at the top of a ski slope, it's a battle of wills for most people to launch themselves, but Canada's Donovan Tildesley, who has been blind from birth, revealed to a China Daily reporter that not only did he already ski, but he also wanted to take it up competitively.Superheroes indeed, each and every one. The Paralympics should be renamed the "Superlympics". It's nothing to do with the equality denoted by the Greek "para", it's about "super" ability, courage and strength that most of us, the top able-bodied athletes of the world included, will never have to muster.It's worth remembering that many Paralympians suffered horrific injuries while living life to the full. You don't get paralyzed sitting at home playing video games. And having lived life to the full they are not prepared to stop. That's the lesser talked about "Paralympic spirit".I only hope that if life dealt me or my loved ones similar blows we would tackle them in the same way as these outstanding men and women.58、 What does the author think of Paralympic athletes?A. They are more than heroes.B. They are unsung heroes.C. They are second only to superheroes.D. They are able-bodied superheroes.59、 By saying "... and then some" (para. 2), the author means that ______.A. Paralympic athletes made up for some physical abilitiesB. not all Paralympic athletes were able to make up for physical abilitiesC. there are some abilities that disabled athletes cannot make up forD. there are some other abilities besides what has been made up for60、 What does the author imply in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Some Olympic stars will turn into Paralympic competitors when disable&B. Olympic stars' career will come to a natural end when they are disabled.C. It takes more guts to be Paralympic athletes than Olympic athletes.D. It is anybody's guess whether Olympic stars will strive to be the bestat sports.61、 The word "faculties" (para. 6) is closest in meaning toA. facilitiesB. abilitiesC. handicapsD. adversities62、 According to the author, what should be learned from Paralympic athletes?A. Rising above their physical disabilities.B. Coming to terms with what they suffer.C. Playing video games to live life to the full.D. Working their way through sporting competitions.Recent years have brought minority-owned businesses in the United States unprecedented opportunities as well as new and significant risks. Civil rights activists have long argued that one of the principal reasons why Blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups have difficulty establishing themselves in business is that they lack access to the sizable orders and subcontracts that are generated by large companies. Now Congress, in apparent agreement, has required by law that businesses awarded federal contracts of more than $ 500, 000 do their best to find minority subcontractors and record their efforts to do so on forms filed with the government. Indeed, (some federal and local agencies) have gone so far as to set specific percentage goals for apportioning part of public works contracts to minority enterprises.Corporate response appears to have been substantial. (According to figures collected in 1977, the total of corporate contracts with minority businesses rose from $ 77 million in 1972 to $1.1 billion in 1977. ) The projected total of corporate contracts with minority businesses for the early 1980s is estimated to be over $ 3 billion per year with no letup anticipated in the next decade.Promising as it is for minority businesses, this increased patronage poses dangers for them, too. First, minority firms risk expanding too fast and overextending themselves financially, since most are small concerns and, unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them. If, thereafter, their subcontracts are for some reason reduced, such firms can face potentially crippling fixed expenses. The world of corporate purchasing can be frustrating for small entrepreneurs who get requests for elaborate formal estimates and bids. Both consume valuable time and resources, and a small company's efforts must soon result in orders, or both the morale and the financial health of the business will suffer.A second risk is that White-owned companies may seek to cash in on the increasing apportionments through formation of joint ventures with minority-owned concerns. Of course, in many instances there are legitimate reasons for joint ventures; clearly, White and minority enterprises can team up to acquire business that neither could acquire alone. But civil rights groups and minority business owners have complained to Congress about minorities being set up as "fronts" with White backing, rather than being accepted as full partners in legitimate joint ventures.Third, a minority enterprise that secures the business of one large corporate customer often run the danger of becoming and remaining dependent. Even in the best of circumstances, fierce competition from larger, more established companies makes it difficult for small concerns to broaden their customer bases: when such firms have nearly guaranteed orders from a single corporate benefactor, they may truly have to struggle against complacency arising from their current success.63、 The primary purpose of the passage is to ______.A. present a commonplace idea and its inaccuraciesB. describe a situation and its potential drawbacksC. propose a temporary solution to a problemD. analyze a frequent source of disagreement64、 The passage supplies information that would answer which of the following questions? ______A. Why federal agencies have set percentage goals for the use ofminority-owned businesses in public works contracts?B. To which government agencies must businesses awarded federal contracts report their efforts to find minority subcontractors?C. How widespread is the use of minority-owned concerns as "fronts" by White backers seeking to obtain subcontracts?D. What is one set of conditions under which a small business might find itself financially overextended?65、 According to the passage, civil rights activist maintain that one disadvantage under which minority-owned businesses have traditionally had to labor is that they have ______.A. not had sufficient opportunity to secure business created by large corporationsB. been especially vulnerable to government mismanagement of the economyC. been denied bank loans at rates comparable to those afforded larger competitorsD. not been able to advertise in those media that reach large numbers of potential customers66、 The author implies that a minority-owned concern that does the greater part of its business with one large corporate customer should ______.A. avoid competition with larger, more established concerns by not expandingB. concentrate on securing even more business from that corporationC. try to expand its customer base to avoid becoming dependent on the corporationD. use its influence with the corporation to promote subcontracting with other minority concerns67、 The author would most likely agree with which of the following statements about corporate response to working with minority subcontractors? ______ A. Annoyed by the proliferation of "front" organizations, corporations are likely to reduce their efforts to work with minority-owned subcontractors in the near future.B. Although corporations showed considerable interest in working with minority businesses in the 1970's, their aversion to government paperwork made them reluctant to pursue many government contracts.C. The significant response of corporations in the t970's is likely to be sustained and conceivably be increased throughout the 1980's.D. Although corporations are eager to cooperate with minority-owned businesses, a shortage of capital in the 1970's made substantial response impossible.It looks unlikely that medical science will abolish the process of ageing. But it no longer looks impossible."In the long run," as John Maynard Keynes observed, "we are all dead." True. But can the short run be elongated in a way that makes the long run longer? And if so, how, and at what cost? People have dreamt of immorality since ancient times. Now, with the growth of biological knowledge that has marked the past few decades, a few researchers believe it might be within reach.To think about the question, it is important to understand why organisms — people included —age in the first place. People are like machines, they wear out. That much is obvious. However, a machine can always be repaired.A good mechanic with a stock of spare parts can keep it going indefinitely. Eventually, no part of the original may remain, but it still carries on, like Lincoln's famous axe that had three new handles and two new blades.The question, of course, is whether the machine is worth repairing. It is here that people and nature disagree. Or, to put it slightly differently, two bits of nature disagree with each other. From the individual's point of view, survival is an imperative. A fear of death is a sensible evolved response and, since ageing is a sure way of dying, it is no surprise that people want to stop it in its tracks. Moreover, even the appearance of ageing can be harmful. It reduces the range of potential sexual partners who find you attractive and thus, again, curbs your reproduction.The paradox is that the individual's evolved desire not to age is opposed by another evolutionary force, the disposable soma. The soma is all of a body'scells apart from the sex cells. The soma's role is to get those sex cells, and thus the organism's genes, into the next generation. If the soma is a chicken, then it really is just an egg's way of making another egg. And if evolutionary logic requires the soma to age and die in order for this to happen, so be it. Which is a pity, for evolutionary logic does, indeed, seem to require that.The argument is this. All organisms are going to die of something eventually. That something may be an accident, a fight, a disease or an encounter with a hungry predator. There is thus a premium on reproducing early rather than conserving resources for a future that may never come. The reason why repairs are not perfect is that they are costly and resources invested in them might be used for reproduction instead. Often, therefore, the body's mechanics prefer lash-ups to complete rebuilds — or simply do not bother with the job at all. And if that is so, the place to start looking for longer life is in the repair shop.68、 The word "elongated"(Para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______ .A. perpetuatedB. promotedC. stretchedD. enhanced69、 Why does the author mention Lincoln's axe?A. To tell people that a simple tool can be repaired thoroughly.B. To make people realize that immortality is not possible.C. To illustrate the fact that the prospect of growing old is intolerable.D. To suggest an anti-ageing approach that will reproduce itself.70、 What do we know from the passage about people and nature?A. People and nature exist in harmony and hardly disagree.B. The evolutionary force in nature helps delay the ageing process.C. People seem now in a position to harness nature.D. Death is the reality in nature people should come to terms with.71、 For whom does the author probably write this passage?A. General readers.B. Health service workers.C. Medical scientists.D. Elderly people.72、 It is implied in the passage that ______ .A. people put a premium on youth and physical appearanceB. death is treated as a matter of courseC. evolutionary force makes immortality possibleD. reproduction is a useful alternative to longer lifeIn the information technology industry, it is widely acknowledged that how well IT departments of the future can fulfil their business goals will depend not on the regular updating of technology, which is essential for them to do, but on how well they can hold on to the people skilled at manipulating the newest technology. This is becoming more difficult. Best estimates of the current shortfall in IT staff in the UK are between 30,000 and 50,000, and growing.And there is no end to the problem in sight. A severe industry-wide lack of investment in training means the long-term skills base is both ageing and shrinking. Employers are chasing experienced staff in ever-decreasing circles, and according to a recent government report, 250,000 new IT jobs will be created over the next decade.Most employers are confining themselves to dealing with the immediate problems. There is little evidence, for example, that they are stepping up their intake of raw recruits for in-house training, or re-training existing staff from other functions. This is the course of action recommended by the Computer Software Services Association, but research shows its members are adopting the short-term measure of bringing in more and more consultants on a contract basis. However, this approach is becoming less and less acceptable as the general shortage of skills, coupled with high demand, sends contractor rates soaring. An experienced contract programmer, for example, can now earn at least double the current permanent salary.With IT professionals increasingly attracted to the financial rewards and flexibility of consultancy work, average staff turnover rates are estimatedto be around 15%. While many companies in the financial services sector are managing to contain their losses by offering skilled IT staff 'golden handcuffs'—deferred loyalty bonuses that tie them in until a certain date—other organisations, like local governments, are unable to match the competitive salaries and perks on offer in the private sector and contractor market, and are suffering turnover rates of up to 60% a year.Many industry experts advise employers to link bonuses to performance wherever possible. However, employers are realising that bonuses will only succeed if they are accompanied by other incentives such as attractive career prospects, training, and challenging work that meets the individual' s long-term ambition.This means managers need to allocate assignments more strategically and think about advancing their staff as well as their business. Some employers advocate giving key employees projects that would normally be handled by people with slightly more experience or capability. For many employers, however, the urgency of the problem demands a more immediate solution, such as recruiting skilled workers from overseas. But even this is not easy, with strict quotas on the number of work permits issued. In addition, opposition to the recruitment of IT people from other countries is growing, as many professionals believe it will lead to even less investment in training and thus a long-term weakening of the UK skills base.73、 According to the first paragraph, the success of IT departments will depend on ______.A. their success in retaining their skilled staffB. the extent to which they invest in new technologyC. their attempts to recruit staff with the necessary skillsD. the ability of employers to keep up with the latest developments74、 A problem referred to in the second paragraph is that ______.A. the government needs to create thousands of new IT postsB. the pool of skilled IT people will get even smaller in the futureC. company budgets for IT training have been decreasing steadilyD. older IT professionals have not had adequate training75、 What possible solution to the long-term problems in the IT industry is referred to in the third paragraph?A. Ensuring that permanent staff earn the same as contract staff.B. Expanding company training programmes for employees.C. Conducting more research into the causes of staff leaving.D. Offering top rates to attract the best specialist consultants.76、 In the financial services sector, the IT staffing problem has led to ______.A. cash or other benefits for skilled staff after a specified period of timeB. more employees seeking alternative employment in the public sectorC. the loss of customers to rival organisationsD. more flexible conditions of work for their staff77、 According to the final paragraph, the UK skill base will be weakened by ______.A. changes to managers' strategic thinkingB. insufficient responsibility being given to IT staffC. the employment of IT staff with too little experienceD. the hiring of IT personnel from abroadThe world seems to be going diet crazy, and yet our nation's obesity rate has shot up year after year. And, it's not only the over 20 population that has to worry about their weight anymore. Children from kindergarten to twelfth grade are also experiencing the problems of an overweight lifestyle.According to the website , 11% of adolescents are categorized as being over-weight, and another 16% are in danger of becoming overweight. This is a 60% jump from the 1980's.Some of the blame is being put on schools wanting to fit more academic classes into the children's schedule rather than waste time on physical education. This new take on education has left us with physical activity at an all-time national low, resulting in obesity and poor physical conditioning at an。

Each passage is followed by several questions based on its content. You are to choose ONE best answer. (A), (B), C. or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Proxemics is the study of what governs how closely one person stands to another. People who feel close will be close, though the actual distances will vary between cultures. For Americans we can discern four main categories of distance: intimate, personal, social and public. Intimate ranges from direct contact to about 45 centimeters. This is for the closest relationships such as those between husband and wife. Beyond this comes personal distance. This stands at between 45 and 80 centimeters. It is the most usual distance maintained for conversations between friends and relatives. Social distance covers people who work together or are meeting at social gatherings. Distances here tend to be kept between 1.30 to 2 meters. Beyond this comes public distance, such as that between a lecturer and his audience.All cultures draw lines between what is an appropriate and what is an inappropriate social distance for different types of relationship. They differ, however, in where they draw these lines. Look at an international reception with representatives from the US and Arabic countries conversing and you will see the Americans pirouetting backwards around the hall pursued by their Arab partners. The Americans will be trying to keep the distance between themselves and their partners which they have grown used to regarding as "normal". They probably will not even notice themselves trying to adjust the distance between themselves and their partners, though they may have vague feeling that their Arab neighbors are being a bit "pushy". The Arab, on the other hand, coming from a culture where much closer distance is the norm, may be feeling that the Americans are being "stand-offish". Finding themselves happier standing close to and even touching those they are in conversation with they will persistently pursue the Americans round the room trying to close the distance between them.The appropriateness of phys{cal contact varies between different cultures too. One study of the number of times people conversing in coffee shops over a one hour period showed the following interesting variations: London, 0; Florida, 2; Paris, 10; and Puerto Rico 180. Not only does it vary between societies, however, it also varies between different subcultures within one society. Young people in Britain, for example, are more likely to touch and hug friends than are the older generation. This may be partly a matter of growing older, but it also reflects the fact that the older generation grew up at a time when touching was less common for all age groups. Forty years ago, for example, footballers would never hug and kiss one another on the field after a goal as they do today.第58题In proxemics, ______ governs the standing space between two persons.A.distanceB.cultureC.conversationD.relationship第59题The word "stand-offish" (Line 10, ParA.2) could best be replaced by ______.A. cold and distant in behaviorB. ungentlemanlike in behaviorC. inhuman in behaviorD. polite in behavior第60题In conversation with an American partner at an international reception, an Arab deems that close distance is ______.A.appropriateB.inappropriateC.rashD.impetuous第61题We can infer from the third paragraph that the appropriateness of physical contact also varies with ______.A.timeB.cityC.countryD.people第62题The best title for the passage would be ______.A.ProxemicsB.Appropriateness of Social DistanceC.Appropriateness of Relationships between Two PersonsD.Appropriateness of Physical Contact between Two Persons上一题下一题(63~67/共30题)SECTION 2: STUDA SKILLSDirections: In this section, you will read several passages. Each passage is followed by several questions based on its content. You are to choose ONE best answer. (A), (B), C. or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said—the words. Words do provide us with some information, but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We don´t always say what we mean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words don´t mean anything except " I´m letting off some steam. I don´t really want you to pay close attention to what I´m saying. Just pay attention to what I´m feeling. " Mostly we mean several things at once.A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner, "This step has to be fixed beforeI´ll buy. " The owner says, " It´s been like that for years." Actually, the step hasn´t been like that for years, but the unspoken message is.. " I don´t want to fix it. We put up with it. Why can´t you?" The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed of examining a message in terms of who said it, when it occurred, the related conditions or situations, and how it was said.When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing. But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss. The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior. A friend´s unusually docile behavior may only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness. Some responses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic. For example, a person who says "No!" to a series of charges like "You´re dumb," "You´re lazy," and "You´re dishonest," may also say "No!" and try to justify his or her response if the next statement is "And you´re good looking. "We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words, "It sure has been nice to have you over," can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically. The phrase can be said once or repeated several times. And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say something, the less importance it assumes.第63题Effective communication is rendered possible between two conversing partners, if ______.A.they use proper words to carry their ideasB.they both speak truly of their own feelingsC.they try to understand each other´s ideas beyond wordsD.they are capable of associating meaning with their words第64题"I´m letting off some steam" in Paragraph 1 means ______.A.I´m just calling your attentionB.I´m just giving vent to my angerC.I´m just saying the oppositeD.I´m just giving off some sound第65题The house-owner´s example shows that he actually means ______.A.the step has been like that for yearsB.he doesn´t think it necessary to fix the stepC.the condition of the step is only a minor faultD.the cost involved in the fixing should be shared第66题Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical, but are justifiable if ______.A.linked to an abnormal amount of assertivenessB.seen as one´s habitual pattern of behaviorC.taken as part of an ordering sequenceD.expressed to a series of charges第67题。

【中级口译】英译汉模拟题(1)(双语)Passage 1I think Chinese businesspeople tend to have business negotiations in a rather indirect manner, as opposed to the more direct style of American businesspeople, who are said to work with the “get-down-to-business-first” mentalit y. // The Chinese-type management encourages cooperation among employees, between the labor and the management, and gives employees a joy of participation and fulfillment, as well as a sense of pride in their work.// And most Chinese try to find the meaning of life through working in their jobs, and view work as essential for having membership in a community.// The American-type, or the top-down, management emphasizes efficiency, and competition among workers. The American work ethic seems to be more individual oriented. Traditionally, Americans work because it is the will of God, and often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.//我认为中国人在商务谈判时倾向于使用一种迂回婉转的方式,而那些被认为在工作时具有一种“公务为先”的心态的美国人则往往表现出较为直截了当的作风。

Each passage is followed by several questions based on its content. You are to choose ONE best answer, A., B., C. or D., to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 1~5Today one in every ten of us has difficulty getting to sleep and, according to Dr. Ian Oswald of Edinburgh university, the reason is simple. Most people who can't sleep are their own worst enemies. They go to bed too early.For every person who works most efficiently on the usual eight hours of sleep a night, two work best on five or six, and two on nine or ten. Voltaire made do with three hours but Sir Winston Churchill would happily sleep for 12~14 hours at a stretch if he could.So how much sleep does a person really need? It seems that the national average for men is seven hours and ten minutes, and for women ten minutes less, but everyone's needs are different. Find out what you need and, according to Dr. Ernest Hartmann, one of America's leading sleep scientists, you're well on your way to allowing your body to work at its greatest efficiency.After studying the sleep habits of nearly 1000 people, Dr Hartmann believes it's the amount of deep sleep we get thatreally matters. We all need roughly the same amount—about 75 minutes a night. The rest, a shallower type of sllep, vaies greatly from person to person.How much of the second type of sleep, you need seems to depend on what sort of person you are. According to Dr. Hartmann short sleepers—those sleeping less than six hours a night— were busy, active people, employed in demanding jobs, and often worked a 60 or 70-hour week. Most of them had started sleeping shorter hours to deal with the pressure of schoolwork or business and fornd that a few hours sleep a night was quite enough. Their defence against worry and stress was usually to keep so busy that I don't have time to think about these things. ...”Most of the long sleepers —those needing at least nine hours — were self-employed. Almost all of them had slept for nine hours a night since late childhood, long before their work pattern became fixed. They tended to complain more than the short sleepers and several admitted that sleeping was an escape from life.In the past it was believed that too much sleep could be just as disturbing as too little, but now a study in America has shown that many people can enjoy ten hours or more and still be able to sleep through the following night.A sleep rese archer says: “No one should worry about not sleeping unless they are not feeling well or cannot do their work properly. Lack of sleep doesn't matter greatly if we are resting—the body can still get on with its repain work. But worrying about not sleeping can sometimes do you harm. There would be far less sleeplessness about if we planned our sleeping lives as carefully as we plan our waking ones.”1.According to the passage, people have difficulty getting to sleep because.A. they work more than sixty hours a weekB. they have too many enemiesC. they do not sleep happilyD. they are not tired enough2. In comparison with Voltaire, Sir Winston Churchill.A. was happier with three hours of sleepB. would sleep more when stretched outC. world enjoy a longer sleep if possibleD. was less happy when he was asleep3. Studies show that the average woman.A. sleeps less than the average manB. sleeps longer when she goes out to workC. has difficulty in getting to sleepD. sleeps over eight hours a night4. Dr. Harmann is mentioned in the passage.A. as the opponent of Dr. Ian OswaldB. because he has strange sleeping habitsC. as the pioneering sleep scientistD. because of his observation and analysis of sleep habits5. Not being able to sleep can be dangerous if we.A. are feeling wellB. worry about it too muchC. repair our bodies by restingD. plan our sleeping lives carefullyQuestions 6~10I think it was De Mandeville who suggested a river party for the staffs of the various embassies. Nor, on the face of it, was the idea a bad one. All winter long the logs come down the River Sava until the frost locks them in: now with the spring thaw theriver has a pontoon of treetrunks some forty feet wide lining the bank under the willows so that you can walk out over the river, avoiding the margins, and swim in the deep water.These logs had been made into a hundred feet by sixty—big enough even to dance on. While everyone was dancing the rumba and while the buffet was plying a heavy trade, it was noticed that the distance between the raft and the shore had noticeably increased. The gang-plank subsided in the ooze. It was not a great distance—perhaps ten feet. But owing to the solid resistance such a large raft set up in the main current the pull was definitely outward. But as yet nobody was alarmed; indeed most of the party thought it was part of a planned entertainment.As we approached the next bend of the river it looked as if the whole thing would run aground on the bank, and a few of us made preparations to grab hold of the overhanging willows and halt our progress. But by ill luck a change in the current carried usjust too far into the centre of the river and we were carried past the spit of land, vainly groping at the tips of bushes.It was about another five minutes before the full significance of our position began to dawn upon us. By this time we were moving in stately fashion down the centre of the river, all lit up like a Christmas tree. Exclamations, suggestions, counter suggestions poured from the lips of the diplomates and their spouses in a dozen tongues.Unknown to us, too, other factors were being introduced which were to make this a memorable night for us all. Spy-mania was at its height and the Yugoslav forces lived in a permanent state of alertness. There were frequent rumours of armed raids from Czechoslovakia.It was in this context that some Yugoslav infantryman at an observation post along the river saw what hetook to be a large armed man on war full of Czech paratroops in dinner jackets and ball dresses sailing upon Belgrade. He did not wait to verify this first impression. He galloped into Belgrade Castle a quarter of an hour later on a foam-flecked mule with the news that the city was about to be invaded.6. According to the passage, a river party was practicable because__________.A. the river was lined with willow treesB. the banks were not muddy at this timeC. there was a suitable surface for walking onD. there was not too much frost at this season7. The raft started moving from the shore because___________.A. the gang-plank had fallen in the mudB. the buffet was too heavyC. it was too large to stay in placeD. the organisers wanted to surprise the guests8. The raft did not stop at the next bend because_______________.A. there was too much mud on the river bankB. There were only bushes to catch hold ofC. the current made it swirl outwardsD. the water was not shallow enough9. According to the passage, people on the raft were____________.A. completely unaware of their situationB. quarrelling angrilyC. indignant with the organizers of the partyD. anxious to help solve the problem10. The Yugoslav look out made a mistake because______________.A. the party were dressed in soldiers' uniformsB. the raft was sailing towards BelgradeC. many of the party were armedD. he was affected by the general tensionQuestions 11~15The elephants left the shade, crossed an open piece of grass between bushes, and came towards the mud-pool where my truck was parked. One by one they arrived on the shore, but, just as they seemed to be about to bathe in the inviting muddy liquid, they became aware of the silent truck with its tell-tale smell of man. the leading elephant merely spread her ears and cautiously backed away taking the young elephants with her.A smaller mother elephant continued to stand next to the pool, however, swinging her long trunk and swaying her head from side to side, always keeping an eye on the truck. The baby elephant behind her held up his head, waving his trunk to sample the suspicious smell in the wind. The mother elephant seemed to be uncertain about whether to come on and investigate the truck or to back away with the other. Finally she made up her mind and slowly advanced on the truck. Her ears were helf out, and her trunk moved inquiringly towards the vehicle and then back under her stomach in a rhythmic swing.I was fascinated by this close approach. Never before had I been able to see the hairiness around the jaw, nor smell the warm scent of elephant, which now reached me in concentrated waves. The mother elephant's steps were slow but determine, and brought her to within a couple of metres of me.She gave the impression of being intensely curious about this metal object with had appeared in her world and behaved as if it were itself an animal. I wondered how far she would acceptthe situation and, if after all the centuries of men killing elephant, she would ever allow me to approach her on foot. T o be able to move freely among the elephants without their minding was an exciting thought, but I certainly did not expect it would ever be possible.11. It was the elephants' intention to___________.A. feed on the grassB. lie in the sunshineC. swim in the poolD. avoid the mud12. The presence of the writer and his vehicle______________.A. was not noticed by the elephantsB. made the leading elephant suspiciousC. made the adult elephants curiousD. frightened all the elephants away13. How did the smaller elephant react to the truck?A. She showed more curiosity than other elephants.B. She kept her baby away from it.C. After some hesitation she moved away with other elephants.D. She rushed up to it excitedly.14.While he watched the mother elephant approaching, the author______________.A. was worried that the elephants were too closeB. found the smell very unpleasantC. was impressed by the elephant's sizeD. saw the details he had not noticed before15. The author did not expect he would ever be able to_________________.A. see the elephants killedB. touch the elephantsC. walk about freely near the elephantsD. drive his truck close to the elephantsQuestions 16~20Whatever may be said against mass circulation magazines and newspapers, it can hardly be argued that they are out of touch with their reader's daydreams, and therefore the inducements such as gifts and prizes and prizes they hold out to them must be a near accurate reflection of their unfulfilled wants and aspirations. Study these and you will assuredly understand a good deal of what it is that makes society tick.Looking back, for example, to the twenties and thirties, we can see that circulation managers unerringly diagnosed the twin obsessions which dominated that era of mass unemployment-economic insecurity and a passionate concern for the next generation. Thus it was that readers were recruited with offers of free insurance policies for the one, and free instant, or an arm in a flood, could confidently expect to collect several hundred pounds from the Daily This of the Evening That. The family who could not afford to send their son to grammar school could find consolation in equipping him with the complete work of Shakespeare in one magnificent, easy to read volume.After the war the need to fall into step with the new consumer society was soon realised. If you were flanked by neighbours who, unlike you, could afford a holiday abroad, then winning an easy competition could set you up with a fortnight in an exotic sunspot. Dishwashers, washing machines, slow-cookers and deep-fat-friers were—and still are — available by the same means.16. The writer finds the study of gifts and prizes interesting because it_____________.A. shows the power of the popular pressB. reveals social trendsC. confirms his view of human natureD. exposesjournalistic dishonesty17. It can be inferred from the passage that newspapers in the 1920s and 1930s offered their readers gifts in order to______________.A. spread popular educationB. increase their circulationC. improve social conditionsD. enrich their readers' knowledge18. The choice of gifts tells us that the circulation managers______________.A. despised their readersB. wanted to educate their readersC. understood their readersD. enjoyed being powerful19. According to the passage, one of the reasons why readers in the 1920s and 130s were attracted by free insurance policies was that_____________.A. they were afraid of being unable to workB.jobs were more dangerous thenC. they had bigger families to look afterD. money was given away with the policies20. Why did holidays abroad become a common prize after the war?A. People became more interested in material possessions.B. Everyone wanted the opportuity to travel.C. Group travel became easier.D. People wanted to get away from familiar surroundings.Questions 21~25Extract 1A stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet ad foil to an eclectic array of furniture. Many of the piecesare 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 area which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining-room by a high Medieval-styled archway where there 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 panelling over them.As wood panelling can be secured over almost anything—including old ceramic tiles and chipped walls—it is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration. The panelling 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 was 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 farmhouse 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.21. In what way does the colour of the carpet contribute to the stylishness of the dining room?A. It darkens the interior of the room.B. It provides a contrast to the furniture.C. It blends in with the tones of the funrniture.D. It gives the room a classical style.22. What is the purpose of the archway described in Extract 1?A. To hide an unattractive fireplace.B. To give the room an exotic eastern style.C. To Join the dining room with another room.D. to make room for the unusual seating arrangements.23. Extract 2 is most probably taken from___________.A. a fashion magazineB. a plumber's manualC. a do-it yourself magazineD. an advertisement for new bathrooms24. Extracts 2 and 3 focus on____________.A. old furnitureB. colour schemesC. cheap improvementsD. decorative approaches25. Which of the following rooms is NOT described in the three extracts?A. Dining-room.B. Siting-room.C. Bath-room.D. Kitchen.Question 26~30If You Really Want to Read This, You'll Be too BusyNEW YORK—Pythagoras had his theorems, Einstein his theories and Murphy his laws. I have developed the maxim of inverse reciprocals.After years of research, I've determined inverse reciprocalsaffecting all human endeavors. Consider these categorized examples.Travel There is an inverse reciprocal between:·the amount of luggage you are carrying and the distance from curbside to the airline ticket counter. The more luggage, the greater the distance.·the ammount of time you have left before the flight leaves and the distance you must go to reach the gate from which the plane leaves. If you have 30 minutes, the gate is 25 feet from the ticket counter. If you have three minutes, the gate is on the other side of airport.Vacations These is an inverse reciprocal between:·the size of the nonrefundable deposit you have already made and the health of the children(or spouse) the night before you are scheduled to leave.·the time at which you take a much needed long weekend, and the weather conditions during just those days.Entertainment There is an inverse reciprocal between:·our desire to see a film to the spur of the moment and the length of the line in front of you (and, perforce, the possiblility of tickets being available when you are next).·the time left to reach a theather for the opeining curtain (or, the start of movie) and the amount of traffic on the highway that you must take to get there (or, the number of red lights for which you must stop, if taking local roads).Home Care There is an inverse reciprocal between:·the number of plumbing parts removed, coupled with the importance of completing the new assembly, and the availability of one key nut (or, more generally, the need for a specific product and the time the store closes).·the volume of leaves gathered in a pile and the velocity of the wind immediately after the pile is made.Business There is an inverse reciprocal between:·the importance of the guests you are entertaining, coupled with the size of the bill, and either the credit cards accepted at the restaurant (relative to the credit cards in your wallet), the amount of cash in your pocket or the balance in your checkbook.·the new baby-sitter's curfew and the time it will take you to make the round trip to the dinner party your boss is giving.In each instance, which of the following statements (A), (B), (C) or (D) offers the best advice or comment in view of what the author has to say on the five subjects?26. TravelA. It takes a long time to buy tickets.B. It is best to travel light.C. It is best not to arrive too early.D. Latecomers usually catch their planes.27. VacationsA. Look for holidays with small deposits.B. Never pay too small a deposit.C. Book a day or two before you leave.D. Don't pay too much attention to weather forecasts.28. EntertainmentA. Give yourself plenty of time.B. Latecomers have most advantages.C. Traffic affects the size of a line (queue).D. Avoid main roads on evenings out.29. Home CareA. Don't try to do it yourself.B. Complete the new assembly in time.C. Supply yourself with sufficient parts.D. Remove the leaves gathered in a pile.30. BusinessA. Spend without limit on important guests.B. Carry your credit card when entertaining.C. Don't try to entertain guests cheaply.D. Be suitably prepared before entertaining.SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.On August 6, 1997, when 55,000 people gathered in Hiroshima to commemorate the 46th anniversary of the devastating bombing that killed an estimated 140,000 people and brought World War Ⅱto a sudden halt, the city's newly elected mayor broke with tradition by adding a few uncustomay lines to the annual Peace Declaration. It should also be recalled, he declared, that“Japan inflicted great suffering and despair on the peoples of Asia and the Pacific during its reign of colonial domination and war. For this we are truly sorry. ”Noting that this year marks the 50th anniversary of the Japaness assalt on the U.S., he added, “Remembering all too well the horror of this war, starting with the attack on Pearl Harbor and ending with the atombombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we are determined anew to work for world peace.”Usually, in Japan, when people discuss the war at all, they speak of vicitimization: their own victimization by the militarists who led the country into battle and by the Americans who bombed their cities. The suffering inflicted by the imperial army on the peoples of Asia is ignored, as is Japna's aggression inChina and at Pearl Harbor. The appealing image of Japan the victim has no room for the underside of Japan the aggressor.。
