These round flatcakes (1)，or patties actually came from Germany in the middle of the 19th century. They were brought to theUnited States by German immigrants (2) who came from the city of Hamburg. That is why their name (3) wasHamburger Stake.However, people in other places claim (4) that they invented the hamburger. Perhaps we'll never have a clearanswer.(5) But there is no question that the hamburger was a great hit.(6) Why? Perhaps because at that time,industry was growing, and the kind of fast, practical and cheap (7) food was needed for workers.The hamburger became even more popular in the 1920 s (8) when the first chain of fast food restaurants wasstarted. This chain was called White Castle. It served tiny hamburgers that were sold for only 5 cents each. (9)Then, in the 1940 s there came the drive-in restaurant (10) where customers were served in their cars by waitersin uniform. And the hamburger was one of the most popular manual items. (11)By now, the hamburger was ready to conquer (12) the world. And this happened with McDonalds, which wasactually a hotdog stand (13) at first. But by the early 1950 s the hotdog was replaced by the hamburger.McDonalds and other fast food restaurants spring up (14) around the world throughout the west of the 20thcentury. McDonalds alone has sold 12 hamburgers (15) for every person in the world.The importance of the hamburger to US culture (16) remains significant. About 60% (17) of all sandwiches thatare eaten are hamburgers. According to some sources, 7% (18) of current workers in the Untied States had theirfirst job at McDonalds. But the face of the hamburger is changing according to the times. (19) Nowadays it ispossible to buy a chicken burger, a turkey burger, a fish burger,(20) or a veggie burger.Listening translationSentence Translation1. Please hold my telephone calls and just take a message. I can call back later.I must have a little peace andquiet to concentrate on these figures.请别挂断我的电话，先留个言，我会回电。

中级口译笔试历年真题听力文字稿最完整版(97-08)

历年上海中级口译听力部分录音文稿（97.3 － 08.9）97．3SECTION 1：LISTENING TESTPart A: Spot DictationThe development of the Space Shuttle has dramatically reduced the cost of sending loads into space. The Shuttle takes off from Earth like a rocket, and lands again like a huge aircraft. It can transport not only its own crew, but also passengers, and has a huge cargo-hold which is capable of carrying large satellites or a space laboratory.Before the Space Shuttle was created, it was necessary to plan trips into space several years in advance. However, for the rest of the century it should be possible to make space flights every week or so. Any scientist or engineer needing to travel into orbit will simply take the next Shuttle flight, stay as long as necessary, and then return at his or her convenience.It is difficult to imagine the immense opportunities created by the Shuttle. One of the great advantages of having a reusable space vehicle is that it can take one load after another into orbit.Very large space stations could not be launched in their complete form directly from Earth, but they could be built piece by piece in space. The Space Shuttle is likely to be used as a general ―workhorse‖ for the rest of this century, and the building of such stations in orbit should become commonplace.Once these huge orbiting space stations are completed, they are likely to become the platforms from which hundreds of robot space ships could be launched cheaply and easily to explore the solar system and to start mining operations on the Moon. The technology needed for this is already developed and available. And because of commercial and military pressures to develop space technology, it is likely that governments will be increasingly willing to start extensive programs of space engineering, exploration and research.Part B: Listening ComprehensionⅠ.

About eleven percent of the present American population are Blacks.The first immigrants in American history came form England and the Netherlands.

The weather was very cold a nd it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind.Passage 2:About seven out of ten people released from prison will be put into prison again sooner or later. Some people think this simply shows that once a person becomes a criminal he will probably remain a criminal. But it could equally suggest that being in prison actually makes people more likely to commit crimes.97．9SECTION 1: LISTENING TESTPart A: Sport DictationDoctors are starting to believe that laughter not only improves your state of mind, but actually affects your entire physical well-being. Britain‘s first laughte r therapist, Robert Holden says, ―Instinctively we know that laughing help us feel healthy and alive. Each time we laugh we feel better and more content.‖A French newspaper found that in 1930 the French laughed on average for nineteen minutes per day. By 1980 this had fallen to six minutes. Eight per cent of the people questioned said that they would like to laugh more. Other research suggests that children laugh on average about 400 times a day, but by the time they reach adulthood this had been reduced to about fifteen times. Somewhere in the process of growing up we lose an astonishing 385 laughs a day.William Fry, a psychiatrist from California studied the effects of laughter on the body. He got patients to watch funny films, and monitored their blood pressure, heart rate and muscle tone. He found that laughter has a similar effect to physical exercise. It speeds up the heart rate, increases blood pressure and quickens breathing. It also makes our facial and stomach muscles work. Fry thinks laughter is a type of jogging on the spot.Laughter can even provide a kind of pain relief. Fry had proved that laughter produces endorphins-chemicals in the body that relieve pain. Researchers divided forty university students into four groups. The first group listened to a funny cassette for twenty minutes. The other three groups listened to either an informative tape, or a cassette intended to relax them, or no tape at all. Researchers found that if they produce pain in the students, those who had listened to the humorous tape could tolerate the discomfort much longer. Some doctors are convinced that humour should be a part of every medical consultation, as there is evidence to suggest that laughter stimulates the immune system.Part B: Listening ComprehensionⅠ StatementsQuestion No. 1.

This plant grows in many parts of the world. It is quite dangerous to humans; people can die if they eat it.One thing that makes poison hemlock really dangerous is that it looks like some plants that people normally eat.

It‘s quite amazing, isn‘t it?The next stop on our tour is the Petrified Forest. This is a huge desert forest that is not exactly made of trees. You see, the trees are so old that they have fallen and have turned to stone. They look just like fallen logs, but they are no longer made of wood. Instead they are made o f beautifully colored stone, such as jasper, agate, carnelian, and onyx. It‘s unbelievable to see all of these fallen trees from a distance and then up close see that they are really stone and not wood.When we arrive at the Petrified Forest, please be sure to keep in mind that it is against the law to take any petrified wood out of the forest with you. You may think about picking up just a tiny little piece, but please don‘t do it.Question No. 19. Where have they just been?Question No. 20. Where are they heading now?Question No. 21.

Which of the following is used in making the fast-food packaging?Question No. 26.

One way that dogs are being trained involves ―smell.‖ For example, dogs are being trained to use their sense of smell to find missing persons, hidden drugs, or explosives such as dynamite. Dog trainers have found that almost all types of dogs have equally good senses Of smell. Even though different types of dogs have equivalent sense of smell, they are not equally good at different tasks. However, certain types of dogs are better at certain tasks because of other characteristics they have. For example, beagles are small and friendly, so they are often used at crowded airports to smell for illegal food products in luggage. German shepherds have quick reactions, so they are often used to smell for explosives such as dynamite. Golden retrievers work well in the cold, so they are often used to find people lost in the snow.Question No. 27. What is the topic of the talk?Question No. 28.

The library is closing in a few minutes. Please return the reference books to the shelves they belong to. Those who want to check out reserved books for overnight use may do so now. Thank you very much for your co-operation.Passage 2:Thirty years ago, when I was a small child, my father arranged for me to spend two summer holidays at a farm in the countryside. He thought it would be good for me, and he was right. It taught me a great deal about the importance of independence. The place was so isolated that the owner‘s daughter, who must have been in her early twenties, said that she had never been away from home or seen a locomotive.98．3SECTION 1: LISTENING TESTPart A: Spot DictationBritain is changing more rapidly than ever before in her long history. In some respects the new British society reflects general world trends. In other respects it has kept its own particular flavour. British society is evolving, that is to say, developing and suiting itself to rapidly changing conditions. Evolution rather than revolution or violent change is a special characteristic of the British way of life.This is shown in one way by how the British people vote at elections. The Conservative and Labour Parties have controlled the political scene for the last fifty years, but today neither party can any longer be sure from which class or income group its support will come. Not long ago you would have expected the working classes always to vote for the Labour Party. The word ―labour‖ means ―hard work‖—especially hard work with the hands. The Labour Party is the party which is supposed to represent the ―working man‖. You would also have expected the up per and middle classes to vote for the Conservative Party. The word conservative means ―keeping things as they are‖. The Conservative Party is supposed to be the party which represents property owners, businessmen and the self-employed. In some respects t raditional British ―class distinctions‖ are becoming less clear, and you can be less sure how people will vote. Many members of the middle class support social reform. Many ordinary working people enjoy a better standard of living and are suspicious of any change which might affect them. But the old divisions between the classes remain. Many Conservatives fear that the sovereignty of Parliament is being threatened by the Trade Unions. Many workers are afraid that the Conservative bosses are trying to keep their wages down. But class feelings have not reached a personal level yet. Middle-class and working-class men can stand together at a football match and be the best of friends.Part B: Listening ComprehensionI StatementsQuestion No. 1.

Our general manager is planning to visit a few factories when he travels to the North this summer. Question No. 8.

What color are the shuttle bus signs?Question 15 to 18 are based on the following advertisement.You may think IBM makes only big computers. The range of products pictured here should change your mind.But more important, it‘s likely that one of them is a perfect fit for you and the work you have to do.IBM‘s portable computers bring problem--solving power to the people who need it most. Small businesses can use them to prosper today and plan for tomorrow. Large companies can use them to help a key person or department become more productive. Professional people can use them to make the most of their own special skills.IBM portable computers are easy to use and their price tags make them easy to buy.

Obviously, we‘v e thought and will think a lot about you.Question No. 15. What is this advertisement trying to sell?Question No. 16. What does IBM produce?Question No. 17. According to the ad. , who will use IBM‘s portable computers?Question No. 18.

Approximately how much paper do Americans use in one year?Question No 22. What does the woman want people to do?Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following talk.Today I‘d like to discuss something new that botanists may be bringing us in the near future: plants that Produce plastic. I‘m not talking about artificial plants made from plastic. I‘m talking about living, growing plants that produce a plastic-like substance.The natural plastic from these plants has at least one major advantage over the artificial plastic that is so common today. This new plastic from plants biodegrades quickly, which means that it is much better for the environment. Today‘s artificial plastic biodegrades very slowly. When people finish with plastic products and throw them away, the plastic remains intact for years. These unused plastic products are covering the Earth and causing quite a problem. Perhaps the new, natural plastics from plants can help to solve that problem.Question No. 23. What type of plant is the woman discussing?Question No. 24. What is the major advantage of the new natural plastic?Question No. 25. What is the problem with today‘s artificial plastic?Question No. 26. This lecture might be given in which course?Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following talk.The public schools are famous private schools. The oldest of the public schools were founded to give free education to clever boys whose parents could not afford to educate them privately. They were under ―public‖ management or control. But today these schools, and similar ones founded within the past 120 years, are mostly boarding schools. The pupils live as well as study there. Some public schools also take day-pupils. Normally pupils are admitted by examination. Since state schools do not prepare children for this, parents who wish to send their children to a public school often send them first to a preparatory school. Preparatory schools are small, private primary schools which prepare children for the public school examination.Public schools have produ ced many of Britain‘s most famous and distinguished men and women and many parents are still ready to make great sacrifices to send their children there. More pupils come from Britain‘s upper classes or wealthy families. Recently, however, there has been a great deal of argument about the future of all private schools.。

Fill in each of the blanks with the words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.Good afternoon, folks! Today's topic is try jogging for fitness. When we run for fitness, exercise and pleasure, it is commonly called jogging. Jogging has become very popular in recent years. The popularity of jogging today stems from several factors. First, jogging is one of the most efficient forms of exercise. As a rule, a person jogging burns up more calories per minute than in most other sports. Running, like biking, swimming, and brisk walking, is an aerobic exercise. Such an exercise uses a great deal of oxygen. In addition, it increases the heart rate. Aerobic exercise strengthens the heart muscle so that it pumps more efficiently. This kind of exercise is also one of the best ways to improve our general health and capacity of our lungs. Jogging is also popular because almost every one of us can take part. Jogging is an activity that doesn't require any unusual skills or special coordination. Jogging is relaxing and fun. Finally, it can be done alone, with another person or in a group. For anyone who runs more than 20 miles a week, it is important to have good running shoes. Tennis shoes or sneakers won't do. Running produces stress that is three times greater than the stress of walking. With this added stress to our feet and legs, we need good shoes. The shoes should be replaced when they are worn out or worn unevenly. Cold weather poses a few problems for us joggers. The main hazard in winter-running is slipping on ice or snow. There is no danger of freezing our lungs, because our body warms the air before it reaches our lungs. In winter, we should be sure to cover the head and keep our feet as dry and warm as possible. It's best to wear layers of clothing. In summer, we must be careful not to dry out. So it is important for us to drink plenty of water on hot, humid days. The best summer wear is loose-fitting and light-colored.【解析】本文属于一个小演讲类文章，主要围绕慢跑健身try jogging for fitness的话题展开，后面进一步详细分析了慢跑流行的三个原因，最后演讲者也对选择合适的跑鞋和分季节穿衣进行慢跑给出了相关建议。

Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.My topic for today’s lecture is communication, culture and work. When most people use the word culture, they think of people from different national backgrounds. National cultures certainly do exist and they play an important role in shaping the way people communicate, but there are other dimensions of culture too. Within a nation, regional differences can exert a powerful influence on communication. New Yorkers and Alaskans may find one another’s styles of behaving so different that they might as well be from different countries. Race and ethnicity can also shape behavior. So can age. The customs, values and attitudes of a twenty-year-old girl may vary radically from those of her parents who were raised in the 1960s or her grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ. Still, other differences can create distinctive cultures. Gender, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, religion and socio-economic background are just a few. All of these factors lead to a definition of culture as a set of values, beliefs, norms, customs, rules and codes that lead people to define themselves as a distinct group, giving them a sense of commonality. It’s important to realize that culture is learned, not innate. A Korean-born infant adopted soon after her birth by American parents and raised in the United States will think and act differently than his or her cousins who grew up in Seoul. An African American who grew up in the inner city will view the world differently than he or she would if raised in the suburbs or in a country like France where African heritage has different significance than it does in the United States. The norms and values we learn as part of our cultural conditioning shape the way we view the world and the way we interact with one another. In short, culture has such an overwhelming influence on communication that famous anthropologist Edward Hall once remarked, ‘culture is communication and communication is culture.’【解析】作为中口笔试听力第一题Spot Dictation，考题选用了文化题材的内容，考生对此类型题材应该并不陌生，但若不集中注意力，也会比较难把握文章的层次。

中级口译中译英参考答案

2003年3月如果发生可怕的通货紧缩即价格的全面下降，则其原因与美国紧密相关，但欧洲和日本也难逃其咎。

美国具有投机性质的经济繁荣不可避免会崩溃，但是如果其他经济强国能够健康发展的话，美国经济的衰落本不会有这样巨大的破坏作用。

这些国家日益扩大的经济需求，本来可能有助于美国和巴西、南韩等所谓的新兴市场经济国家。

可问题是，这些国家的经济状况也远非理想。

如果世界上三大经济体同时遭受经济衰退，通货紧缩就可能出现。

价格之所以下降，是因为全球范围内，需求太小，供给太多—从钢材到鞋子，莫不如此。

日本的诸多问题广为人知，银行坏账肆虐。

但起码在美国，不太为人所知的是，欧洲的种种问题主要来源于德国。

如同日本是亚洲“病夫”一样，德国可谓欧洲“病夫”。

仅仅15年前，这些国家还跃跃欲试，准备领导世界经济，今天却已沦为巨大的拖累。

2003年9月二战开始以来，各大高校规模扩大，本科毕业生和博士毕业生人数激增。

这些，催生了一大批技术人员、助理人员、撰稿人、符号编制人员、调研人员和政策献言人。

现在他们在各类组织中，受雇于精明能干之士。

这些人，因为与符号和观念打交道，而被称之为知识分子。

他们已经完全像工程技术人员一样，职业化了。

但与工程技术人员不一样的是，这些职业知识分子无须从事繁重的日常例行工作—他们仅承担少量教学工作，同时享受政府及各类基金会科研拨款和津贴。

教授的课题预算是其在高校内赖以独立的首要经济基础。

课题预算使得研究生得以存在，并使得高校具有资金偿还能力，因为从每项课题预算中，高校都要抽取一定百分比的管理费。

不管是来自政府还是商界，课题经费的主要特征都是，它是以合约为基础的，不同课题立有不同合约。

因此，科研人员的独立性取决于他是否有能力获取一系列合约。

获取合约的能力是职业知识分子的一种真正才能。

2004年3月八年来，密歇根州州立大学的学生都是直接从联邦政府贷得学费的。

但去年春天，学校有关负责人取消了这一措施，转而与私营贷款业者和一家州立机构签订合约。

Fish-eaters could stay in one place for several years. However, once man learned to farm, he could live longer in one place. Thus, he was able to build a permanent home. Once again, he built his home with the materials he found at hand. In Egypt, for example, wood was scarce, so most houses were built of bricks made of dried mud, with a roof supported by tree trunks.When the Norsemen came from Scandinavia to northern Europe, they found many forests, so they built homes with a framework of heavy tree trunks and then filled the space between thetrunks with clay. The Eskimos, on the other hand, lived in a land where there was little or no wood. They learned to adapt their homes perfectly to their surroundings. In the wintertime, when everything was covered with snow and ice, the Eskimos built their homes with blocks of ice. When the warm weather came and melted the ice, the Eskimos lived in a tent made of animal skins.The weather is man’s worst natural enemy. He has to protect himself from extremes of heat and cold and from storms, wind and rain. Where there are torrential rains, houses are either built on piles to keep them off the ground, or they have steep thatched roofs to drain off the rain. People living in the Congo River region have found that steep, heavily-thatched roofs drain off the jungle rains more quickly.Protection from danger has also influenced the type of house man builds. When enemies threatened him, man made his house as inaccessible as possible. The tree-dwellers of the Philippines protect themselves by living high above the ground. When danger threatens, they remove the ladders leading to their homes. The cliff dwellers of the American Southwest built their homes high up on the sides of cliffs, where access was very difficult.Nomad tribes must move from place to place, taking care of flocks of sheep that are alwaysin need of fresh grass. Their houses must be simple and easy to transport. The nomads of central Asia have developed a house made of a framework of poles covered with felt. The house is round because the framework is curved, and there is a hole at the top to let the smoke out.1. According to the passage, the Norsemen who came to northern Europe built their houses with__________.(A) rocks and wood(B) wood and clay(C) wooden roofs and stone walls(D) wooden walls and thatched roofs2. Man’s most urgent need in building a house is protection from __________.(A) enemies(B) floods(C) earthquakes(D) the weather3. The passage suggests that a house with a steep sloping roof is more likely to be found__________.(A) in a windy country(B) in a rainy country(C) near the coast(D) in the desert4.When danger threatens, the tree-dwellers of the Philippines __________.(A) take away their ladders(B) bombard the enemy from above(C) pull up the bridge over their moat(D) wind up the ropes leading to their homes5. According to the passage, the nomad tribes of central Asia live in __________.(A) tents(B) tree houses(C) small houses of clay(D) round houses of felt【参考答案】1.B 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.DQuestions 6—10Emma Way did not become a figure of contempt for British cyclists because she nudged Toby Hockley off his bicycle and into a hedge as she drove past him on a country lane on May 19. No, she achieved that infamy by confessing to her crime online. “Definitely knocked a cyclist off his bike earlier,” Way, 22, tweeted after the collision that left Hockley, 29, with a bruised body and the status of a martyr for Britain’s cyclists. “I have right of way —he doesn’t even p ay road tax!” She ended with a hashtag popular with tweeting British motorists: #bloodycyclists.It was the tweet heard around the roads of Britain and it resulted in Way’s being convicted in November of driving offenses, losing her job as a trainee accountant and acknowledging in court that the comment rated “11 out of 10” on the stupidity scale. In an interview on national television after her conviction, she noted that since the story broke, she had been cyberbullied and had received “malicious communications.” What she did not say was that she was sorry for knocking Hockley, a chef, off his bike. “I was quite angry at the mannerism of the cyclist on the road”, she said. “My point of view is that he was on my side of the road —that’s not the way you drive.”Way to stoke the fire, Ms. Way. By continuing to pin the blame for the incident on the cyclist, the young driver fell further into an already considerable chasm that divides modern Britain. The BBC last year featured an hourlong documentary — with lots of footage of raging cyclists and cab drivers —whose title explained the situation succinctly: War on Britain’s Roads.It wasn’t entirely an exaggeration: people are dying in this conflict between cyclists and drivers. London in November seemed like a particularly dangerous place for the two-wheeled combatants. Six cyclists were killed in less than two weeks, a mounting toll chronicled in increasingly mournful headlines. Six in a few days is a lot; the total killed this year in Britain’s capital is 14. The deaths sparked a bout of public recrimination. When London’s Mayor Boris Johnson, himself a cyclist, appeared less than sympathetic after the fifth death — he told a radio host that some of the dead cyclists “have taken decisions that really did put their lives in danger” — he was transformed from cycling champion to heartless pro-car politician and joined Way as a target of the particularly passionate fury that cyclists can muster.The anger has become political in Britain, as it has in many countries whose governments encourage citizens to cycle rather than drive to work, to lessen the impact on the environment and on traffic. Johnson has arguably done more than any previous politician for London cyclists, establishing a $1.6 billion fund to m ake cycling safer in the city and appointing London’s firstcycling commissioner. Even though the number of cyclist deaths in London has been dropping steadily in the past two decades, the demand from cyclists for the city to adapt grows as the number of bikes on the road grows. As does the particularly passionate fury that cyclists can muster.Whether or not Johnson is right that some of the cyclists who died recently were breaking the law, all of us make a very personal decision about risking our lives by getting on our bikes. And we should know that when we ignore red lights to get ahead of the traffic, or get too close to trucks or buses because we feel it’s our right to be there, then we are making a mistake even dumber than Emma Way’s tweet. In the w ar of the cyclist vs. the driver, the driver will nearly always come out alive. Less so the cyclist.6. According to the passage, who had been cyberbullied and had received malicious communications?(A) Toby Hockley.(B) Boris Johnson.(C) Emma Way.(D) A cycling commissioner.7. Which of the following statements is NOT true in the conflict between cyclists and drivers?(A) London seemed like a particularly dangerous place for the cyclists.(B) 14 cyclists were killed in less than two weeks in London.(C) The deaths of cyclists sparked a bout of public recrimination.(D) People are dying in this conflict between cyclists and drivers.8.

What would be the best title for this passage?(A) Cycle rather than Drive to Work(B) Watch your Cycling Manners(C) Pedal at Your Own Peril(D) Lessen the Impact on Traffic【参考答案】6.C 7.B 8.D 9.A 10.CQuestions 11—15Educators have known for 30 years that students perform better when given one-on-one tutoring and mastery learning — working on a subject until it is mastered, not just until a test is scheduled. Success also requires motivation, whether from an inner drive or from parents, mentors or peers.Will the rise of massive open online courses (MOOCs) quash these success factors? Not at all. In fact, digital tools offer our best path to cost-effective, personalized learning. I know because Ihave taught both ways. For years Sebastian Thrun and I have given artificial-intelligence courses at Stanford University and other schools; we lectured, assigned homework and gave everyone the same exam at the same time. Each semester just 5 to 10 percent of students regularly engaged in deep discussions in class or office hours; the rest were more passive. We felt there had to be a better way.So, in the fall of 2011, we tried something new. In addition to our traditional classroom, we c reated a free online course open to anyone. On our first try, we attracted a city’s worth of participants — about 100,000 engaged with the course, and 23,000 finished.Inspired by Nobel laureate Herbert Simon’s comment that “learning results from what th e student does and thinks and only from what the student does and thinks,” we created a course centered on the students doing things and getting frequent feedback. Our “lectures” were short (two- to six-minute) videos designed to prime the attendees for doing the next exercise. Some problems required the application of mathematical techniques described in the videos. Others were open-ended questions that gave students a chance to think on their own and then to hash out ideas in online discussion forums.Our scheme to help make learning happen actively, rather than passively, created many benefits akin to tutoring — and helped to increase motivation. First, as shown in a 2013 study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, frequent interactions keep attention from wandering. Second, as William B. Wood and Kimberly D. Tanner describe in a 2012 Life Sciences Education paper, learning is enhanced when students work to construct their own explanations, rather than passively listening to the tea cher’s. That is why a properly designed automated intelligent tutoring system can foster learning outcomes as well as human instructors can, as Kurt van Lehn found in a 2011 meta-analysis in Educational Psychologist.A final key advantage was the rapid improvement of the course itself. We analyzed the junctures where our thousands of students succeeded or failed and found where our course needed fine-tuning. Better still, we could capture this information on an hour-by-hour basis. For our class, human teachers analyzed the data, but an artificial-intelligence system could perform this function and then make recommendations for what a pupil could try next to improve — as online shopping sites today make automated recommendations for what book or movie you might enjoy. Online learning is a tool, just as the textbook is a tool. The way the teacher and the student use the tool is what really counts.11. What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) Different sources of motivation for students’ success.(B) Effective one-on-one tutoring and mastery learning.(C) Personalized massive open online courses for students.(D) Considerable improvement of the college courses.12. The word “quash” ( para. 2) is closest in meaning to ______.(A) intensify(B) inspire(C) cancel(D) discount13. When the author and his colleague offered their first online course ______.(A) it attracted about 100,000 city residents to study(B) it created a climate of passivity for introverted students(C) it was designed for both students and working adults(D) it was attended by a great number of students14. The “lectures” in the MOOCs are meant for the students to ______.(A) do and think actively on their own(B) make up for what they miss in classrooms(C) get frequent feedback from mentors and peers(D) focus on what they need most15. One way online courses are similar to online shopping sites is that ______.(A) they make recommendations for what users do next(B) they function automatically for thousands of young students(C) they are a boon to computer-savvy students and shoppers(D) they update their contents on an hour-by-hour basis【参考答案】11.C 12.C 13.D 14.A 15.AQuestions 16—20Most people have seen bullies in action, making life miserable for others. Their targets often escape the intimidation relatively unharmed, but sometimes it is too much to bear. That can be true whether the victim is a 12-year-old girl or a 136-kilogram American football player.A member of the Miami Dolphins left the National Football League team recently because he was repeatedly insulted and threatened by a teammate, Richie Incognito. Many fans were disgusted by details of Incognito's expletive-filled voice mail and text messages, while others defended his behavior as a natural part of a rough-and-tumble sport.Some people are astonished that Jonathan Martin, who is 1.95 meters tall, “could actually be emotionally damaged by taunts from a teammate, ” the columnist Timothy Egan wrote recently in The Times. “Can you possibly hurt a hulk with words? ” Based on his own experience playing football in high school, Mr. Egan argues that you can. He was smaller than the other guys and had a big, unruly head of hair that made him stand out. His teammates taun ted him. “Did it hurt? Yes it did, ” he wrote. “I knew very well what it felt like to give so much to a game and have people who were part of it, his teammates, hurt him. ”Bullies aren’t all men. The Times reported recently that scientists had made big strides in understanding aggression by young women. “The existence of female competition may seem obvious to anyone who has been in a high school cafeteria or singles bar, ” John Tierney wrote, “but analyzing it has been difficult because it tends to be mo re subtle and indirect (and a lot less violent) than the male variety. ”Researchers found that women were more likely to make mean comments about other women if they saw them as competition for male attention. In an experiment, a group of female college students reacted negatively when a woman wearing a low-cut blouse and a short skirt entered the room, while they barely noticed the same woman dressed in a T-shirt and jeans.?But in perhaps one difference between the sexes, instead of confronting the woman directly, the others made fun of her once she left the room.?” Women are indeed very capable of aggressing against others, especially women they perceive as rivals,” said Dr. Tracy Vaillancourt, a psychologist at the University of Ottawa.For those on the receiving end who are young or otherwise vulnerable, the damage can be tragic. In September, a 12-year-old girl in Florida named Rebecca Ann Sedwick killed herself after other girls bullied her online. She went to an abandoned cement plant, climbed to a platform and jumped.“Rebecca became one of the youngest members of a growing list of children and teenagers apparently driven to suicide, at least in part, after being maligned, threatened and taunted online, ” The Times reported. And teenagers aren’t just using Facebook or Instagram to pick on one another. New applications appear constantly, making it difficult for parents to keep tabs on their children’s activity. Rebecca’s mother, Tricia Norman, didn’t know her daughter was receiving messages that s aid: “You’re ugly” and “Can u die please?”“You hear about this all the time,” Ms. Norman said of cyberbullying. “I never, ever thought it would happen to me or my daughter.”16. How did Jonathan Martin react when taunted and insulted by his teammate?(A) He remained silent at first and then challenged the bully to a fight.(B) He took no notice of the taunts and insults from his teammate.(C) He could no longer put up with the bullying and left the team.(D) He accepted the bullying as a natural part of a rough-and-tumble sport.17. Which of the following is typical of female bullying?(A) Confronting the victim indirectly.(B) Causing the victim to die in the end.(C) Making fun of the victim with nasty words.(D) Making mean comments about the victim’s clothes.18. According to the passage, Tricia Norman’s daughter ______.(A) is a pretty, lovely girl(B) uses Facebook or Instagram a lot(C) committed suicide because of cyberbullying(D) used to isolate herself from her classmates19. Parents are often kept in the dark about their children being bullied because ______.(A) their children have no courage to tell them about it(B) parents are not involved in their children’s activities(C) bullying is too common to catch parents’ attention(D) bullying is indirect and is usually conducted online20. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?(A) Intimidation can damage the victim emotionally and physically.(B) Bullying can come in all shapes and sizes.(C) Taunting is limited to physically small and weak people.(D) Female insulting is harder to bear than male bullying.【参考答案】11.C 12.A 13.C 14.D 15.BQuestions 21—25Questions 26—30SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (30 minutes)Directions:Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.In the near future, professors will run their courses over digital platforms capable of collecting data on each student’s p rogress. These platforms were initially developed for massive open online courses. However, universities are now folding these platforms back into their traditional classes because they make it easier to share content, host discussions and keep track of student work.Soon, these platforms will be able to monitor which students are spending 15 minutes on a calculus problem and which ones slog away for an hour. This can raise red flags for professors about who might need extra help.As more classes move partially or entirely online, the requirements of having a uniform start and end date diminish. It means some students could sail through a semester’s worth of classes in a few weeks and then start again with new courses.It used to be that getting accepted to a prestigious university was how you accessed the best professors and could hang out with the smartest students. That’s because universities were, for the most part, closed information systems that distributed out their content among a select few. Th at’s changing.参考译文：在不久的将来，教授们将会使用一种能够收集每位学生的学习进度数据的数字平台来授课。

历年英语翻译中级口译考试试题及答案（完整版）

Spot Dictation In America there are no nobles or men of letters, and the common folk mistrust the wealthy; Consequently lawyers form the highest political class and the most cultivated circle of society. They have therefore nothing to gain by innovation, which adds a conservative interest to their natural taste for public order. If I were asked where I place the American aristocracy, I should reply without hesitation that it is not composed of the rich, who are united together by no common tie, but that it occupies the judicial bench and the bar. When I started researching this topic, I found an interesting website “Legal Reform Now”. As the name suggests, this website is devoted to legal reform and it is definitely concerned about the dominance of lawyers in American government. There I read an article by a political science professor from the university of Wisconsin. One observation the UW article confirms is that the legal profession is the dominant profession of the people re-elect to public office. For example, about half our representatives and two-thirds of our senators are lawyers. No other profession comes close to having the same the number of people in political office. Effectively, lawyers form our nation’s most powerful organized political constituency in America. Lawyers make our laws and lawyers interpret our laws. When judges are appointed, the American bar association is the only professional organization that is consulted to rate the fitness of potential judicial appointees. Our nation has been in existence for over 200 years and lawyers have been this nation’s aristocracy since its formation. Our system works, but do we really want to have a single profession in charge of our nation? Specifically, do we want to have the legal profession in charge? Next time you vote, that’s something to think about. 评析：这篇⽂章是关于律师在美国的地位。

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--Unit-16

Unit 16.Part one. Air quality in Britain. 2. Exercises.1. Listen to the passage about air quality in Britain. And then briefly answer the following questions.Air quality in Britain has improved considerably in the last 30 years. Total emissions of smoke in the air have fallen by over 85 percent since 1960. London and other major cities no longer have the dense smoke led in smog of the 1950s. And in central London winter sunshine has increased by about 70 percent since the late 1950s. However new concerns have arisen, especially over the emissions from the growing number of motor vehicles, and their possible impact on health. Measures have consequently been adopted to reduce substantially emissions from new vehicles. The environment act of 1995 provides a new frame work for air quality management, including the publication by the government of the national strategy which was said air qualities standards and targets for the pollutants causing the most concern. This was issued for consultation in August 1996 containing air quality targets for the year 2005. The act also places new duties on local authorities to assess air quality in their boundaries, and to prepare action plans where standards are not met or are likely to be met in future. Pilot schemes are being taken forward in 14 areas before full implementation in April 1997. Earlier legislation allows local authorities to declare smoke control areas within which the emission of smoke from chimneys is in offends. About two thirds of the dwellings in connorbations are covered by smoke control orders around 6,340 are in force.2. Listen again and supply the missing information.Part two. Statements. 2. Exercises.

But he had to decide for himself in my opinion.Part three. 3. Exercises.1. Acid rain. Listen to the following passage and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.M: You know everyone today is concerned about pollution. And scientists are talking a lot about one kind of pollution, acid rain.W: Why exactly is it called acid rain?M: It’s called acid rain because the rain or some other kind of precipitation has been polluted with acid.W: Where does the acid come from?M: From cars or factories, anything that burns coal or oil. These are made up mostly of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which react with water vapor to form sulphuric acid or nitric acid.W: You mean that when coal or oil is burned acid gets formed. And when it rains or snows the acid falls back on the earth?M: Exactly. That’s why it is so dangerous. Acid rain has been falling over areas of Northern American and Northern Europe. And if it isn’t checked the affect on the water supply and plant of animal life could be disastrous.W: This is something I should read more about.Questions:1) What is the best topic of this conversation?2) What energy sources cause acid rain?3) How is sulphuric acid formed?4) According to the man where is acid rain a problem?5) What action does the woman think she should take next?2. Is nuclear power safe? Listen to the following dialogue about the use of nuclear power, and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.M: The energy minster announced at a press conference yesterday the construction of 3 more nuclear power stations. These were forms of a vital part of the government’s energy plans for the next 2 decades. And it needed to satisfy the country’s growing demands for electricity. The plans were strongly criticized by opposition MPs as well as anti-nuclear and environmentalist groups.W: They must be absolutely mad. More nuclear power stations?M: OK, Jane. But we’ve got to get the energy from somewhere, haven’t we? We can’t just go on using oil and coal.W: Look, the main point is that they are just not safe. They are real menace. Every one of these things is an accident waiting to happen. Look at the Chernobyl forgotten to sake.M: Yes, OK. I agree there is a risk, of course there is. But it’s minimal. With modern technology nuclear reactors are much safer.W: Much safer? You must be joking. No, look at all that radio active waste they are dumping into the sea and underground, nobody really knows what will happen long term.M: That is a problem, sure. But it’s also true that nuclear energy is cheap and can produce electricity very quickly. Lots of countr ies have no alternatives. They don’t have any oil, coal, or anything. What are they suppose to do?W: Oh, come on. There are lots of possibilities. Well, quite a few. We just haven’t really looked at them seriously enough. There are solar energy and wind power and what’s called wave power. We still got a lot of coal.M: All right, but that all take time and money to develop. We need energy now. And nuclear power is the best alternative.W: Oh, I don’t believe this. I reckon it just crazy.Questions:1) Who made the government announcement yesterday?2) What is the government planning to do?3) How does the woman feel about this?4) What is the woman’s main argument?5) Which of the following statements is not true about the man’s argument?3. Building dams. Listen to a college report and then choose the best answer to each questionyou hear.Millions of acres of lands of all kinds of wild life made their homes have been ruined in recent years. This land has been ruined by federally approved water projects such as dams built in violation of the rarely enforced law passed in 1934. According to this law all projects to modify a body of water can be carried out only after a through study to discover what damage may be caused to the wild life in that area. Many states have not complied with the law. In three southern states, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, about 1.2 million acres of wild life habitats have been covered with water because of dams which have been constructed there. Another plan to build a dam in Tennessee was fought because it would flood large areas of wild life habitat particularly endangering a species of small fish called the snail darter. The proposed dam would also destroy several important archeological sites, including the ancestral capital of the ancient Cherryky Indian nation. To prevent any further destruction the public must become accurately informed about the advantages and disadvantages of our national water projects. Only then can we be assured the existing laws will be enforced.Questions:1) According to the speaker why have many animals and birds lost their homes?2) What type of projects does the 1934 law deal with?3) What is required by the rarely enforced 1934 law?4) According to the speaker how many southern states have lost land because of dams?5) Why did people fight a plan to build a dam in Tennessee?6) According to the speaker how can further destruction be prevented?7) According to the speaker who can prevent further destruction?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) I have some funds on hand, and I am wondering whether I ought to put them in the saving’s account.2) The university is building a language laboratory for the department of English, and the job is scheduled to be completed early next year.3) The balance of powers is keeping us out of war because neither side would really dare to start a war because of the consequences.4) In addition to using newspapers and the phone the internet has become the tool for getting more details on job openings, applications and other necessary information.5) On the days they worked employed men worked about an hour more than employed women, 7.9 versus 7.1 hours, the US department of labor reported today.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) I resent the way the police react quite differently the different groups of people. I mean, for example, their reaction to young people and student youth, they may have long hair or very short hair even skin heads, is quite different from people who are sort of middle aged. They have well spoken middle class voices. It’s quite wrong.2) You ask how long it takes to drive across London. Well, it depends on traffic. If the roads aren’t too busy, you can do it in about an hour. But if you g o during the rush hour, then of course, it can take much longer. It also depends on how well you know the roads. If you don’t know the best routes, it can take you hours to get through, because you will get stuck in one way systems, and end up miles away from where you want to go.。

SCETION 4: TRANSLATION 2The operating room opened, and Dad and I hurried in. Oh, Mom’s big, bright eyes were closed tight, and her normally red face looked pale.Looking at sick Mom, I recalled the summer of 1981 when Granny was ill.That summer was unusually hot in Shanghai. Granny was hospitalized. Mom went to the hospital several times a day, and in the evening she was also there looking after Granny. Having had no good meal several days running, Mom was obviously thinning.Mom is a music teacher. She not only teacher her students what love is all about with her songs but tells me by what she does that showing filial respect to parents is a virtue of our Chinese nation. Now that Mom is sick, I must take good care of her and be a fine daughter who is filial towards Mom.听力测试题录音文字稿:SECTION 1：LISTENING TESTPart A: Spot DictationDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Remember you will hear the passage only once. Now let’s begin Part A with Spot Dictation.The development of the Space Shuttle has dramatically reduced the cost of sending loads into space. The Shuttle takes off from Earth like a rocket, and lands again like a huge aircraft. It can transport not only its own crew, but also passengers, and has a huge cargo-hold which is capable of carrying large satellites or a space laboratory.Before the Space Shuttle was created, it was necessary to plan trips into space several years in advance. However, for the rest of the century it should be possible to make space flights every week or so. Any scientist or engineer needing to travel into orbit will simply take the next Shuttle flight, stay as long as necessary, and then return at his or her convenience.It is difficult to imagine the immense opportunities created by the Shuttle. One of the great advantages of having a reusable space vehicle is that it can take one load after another into orbit.Very large space stations could not be launched in their complete form directly from Earth, but they could be built piece by piece in space. The Space Shuttle is likely to be used as a general “workhorse” for the rest of this century, and the building of such stations in orbit should become commonplace.Once these huge orbiting space stations are completed, they are likely to become the platforms from which hundreds of robot space ships could be launched cheaply and easily to explore the solar system and to start mining operations on the Moon. The technology needed for this is already developed and available. And because of commercial and military pressures to develop space technology, it is likely that governments will be increasingly willing to start extensive programs of space engineering, exploration and research.Part B: Listening ComprehensionⅠ. StatementsDirections: In this part of the test you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken only once, and you will not find them written on the paper; so you must listen carefully. When you hear a statement, read the answer choices and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you have heard. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Now let’s begin with question number one.Question No. 1. Jane remained in London for the summer.Question No. 2. Daniel requested that he be transferred to Tokyo to start a new branch.Question No. 3. According to our correspondent, the rain has flooded several areas of South India. Question No. 4. Jason ran across his former college teacher during a business trip to Chicago. Question No. 5. The plane was due at 9：30, but has been delayed half an hour.Question No. 6. I’d have bought Smith’s computer if I had known he was selling it.Question No. 7. Please let me know whether you will come to the meeting or not.Question No. 8. May I suggest Friday for our trip to Hong Kong?Question No. 9. We tried to persuade him not to go to Australia, but in vain.Question No. 10. When they were searching the area, the police all but caught the thieves.Ⅱ.
