2013年5月18日托福阅读真题回忆与解析
2013年5月18日托福阅读真题回忆Passage 11890’s之前，美国尚未经历City Beautiful Movement，除却极个别的Washington D.C，当时的城市规划最大的特点就是——no urban planning.影响美国人民住址选定的几个因素主要为：economics，preference to live individually, etc.当时的两大特点为：1.随着移民风潮(migration)和大量农村人口涌入城市，城市对于住房的要求开始增长;2.大量城市人口(urbanites)考虑到城市居住诸多隐患，迁移乡村。
主要的城市居住弊端为，大量建筑材料易燃、楼距太近、城市明火使用导致火灾频发;排水系统不完善，进而啮齿类动物传播疾病，危及居民健康。
总而言之，当时的城市规划相当不完善，没有统一的政府监管，基础设施建设相当落后。
Passage 2Topic: Honeybees Juvenile Hormone在蜜蜂种群当中，根据年龄的不同，承担不同的任务，这种现象称之为“age polytheism”。
比如，年幼的蜜蜂，一般在蜂巢工作，feed the queen and pupae;年长一点的蜜蜂，负责找食物(forage)和存储食物。
分工不同的具体解释为，特定举动的频率会比较高，而并非彻底add or eliminate to the total number of the tasks they perform(此处考点)。
研究表明，如此的分工，主要是由于蜜蜂当中一种叫做Juvenile Hormone 的物质进行控制。
Juvenile Hormone随着蜜蜂年龄的增长，分泌的速率提升，JH刺激蜜蜂大脑当中叫做mushroom区域逐渐增大，导致最后行为的不同。
实验验证，摘除蜜蜂分泌JH的区域，人工注射JH类似物，能够使蜜蜂转变行为方式。
Passage 3南美洲太平洋东岸的居民，每年都能迎来由南极洲方向洋流涌向赤道，在季风共同作用下，深层富含营养的冷水涌向海表层，带来大量的鳀鱼(anchovies)。

2013年5月sat语法解析(Asia)
Section 31. Plan to do固定搭配，该固定搭配在10年1月Section6的第二题的C选项中间接考到过，注意。
D选项For doing通常表示“用途”和“原因”。
2. Not only…but also3. 重点关注此句中逗号的用法，逗号起的是中顿作用连接两个形容词fine, light共同修饰后面的crystal，所以这个句子真正的主语是crystal。
在英文写作语言中，主语位置出现特殊名词，专有名词的时候，会习惯性的在主语前后方加一个修饰语(插入语或者同位语)对其进行解释说明，所以该题选择的应为D。
A选项无错，比较啰嗦，B选项缺动词，C选项双主语，E选项：主语和动词之间不可以仅仅用一个逗号隔开，即“S, V O”这是错的。
扩充：此题中注意to be和as的区别，在SAT语法中多次考到，在此总结：通常来讲，如果一个单词后面可以接that引导的宾语从句的话，那么他就既可以接to be，也可以接as，如I consider him to be my best friend.可以转换为：I consider that he is my best friend.但是I regard him as a bad guy. 不可以转换为：I regard that he is a bad guy.(05.3-S3-27)The television station has received(A) many complaints about(B) the clothing advertisements, which some(C) viewers condemn to be(D) tasteless.

ACE中it is+ adj.这样的句型在IS中是一个不好的句型，不简洁，不会优先考虑，并且A也用错了，应该是it is+adj.+for+ to do，D选项is左右两边不对等，disappointment和when不是同一个概念。

5月新SAT真题(阅读+答案)
考情汇总1、难点还是集中在阅读上，小说和双篇文章登顶此次最难的两篇。
2、此次考试的语法部分没有特别难的问题，考生均反映难度适中。
3、写作部分选取的文章非常有利于考生展开分析！4、此次考试数学非常容易，就连北美的同学（美国人）都反映此次数学几乎无压力！5、加试部分为数学，难度依旧非常低。
阅读部分第一篇：小说小说选自美国经典现实主义小说 Sister Carrie，XXX为 Theodore Dreiser，最早出版于1900年。
小说描述了一个贫困的乡村姑娘来到大城市生活，内心向往富足的生活。
为了摆脱穷困，先后跟推销员和酒店经理同居，最后历经磨难，终成一个著名演员。
小说截取的部分在论述 Carrie 在看一出关于纽约奢华生活的舞台剧。
台上演员华衣美服，居所装修华丽，生活应有尽有。
Carrie 不免生出羡慕向往之心。
舞台剧还体现了这些生活在理想状态人还收到感情爱情嫉妒的折磨，这更让Carrie 羡慕，谁不愿意坐在金椅子里发愁，谁会不愿意在洒了香水的挂毯、有坐垫的家具和穿着制服的仆人那样的条件下受些折磨呢？回到她小小的 flat（套间），Carrie 暗暗下决心，假如我不能过上那样的生活，我就等于没有活过，或者说自己活过。
第二篇、自然科学科研型文章研究的主要目的在于探究人类大脑如何区分现实和虚拟（广告/小说人物/童话)信息。
研究者呈现给受试者不同的场景：一，广播听到或报纸阅读到关于布什(总统)和灰姑娘，二，跟总统或跟灰姑娘共进晚餐。
然后利用 MRL 研究他们大脑不同区域的活跃度。
现实和虚拟信息都会激起大脑某些区域比如管记忆的海马沟。
不同的是，现实信息还会激起独特的一个脑区域，这个脑区域跟短时记忆和注意力有关。
一直相对，虚拟的信息会激起一个跟语言相关的脑区域。
研究者后来又在另一拨受试者重复了实验，这次根据跟受试者现实相关的程度设置信息。
结果还是成立，研究者进一步拓展，现实和虚拟其实跟不在于人物本身的现实程度，更跟信息与受试者现实生活的相关度有关。

2013年5月SAT阅读真题详细分析
1.本次考试难度中等偏上，比13年1月真题难了不少。
难度主要是体现在：前两个中篇阅读中的某些题目，对审题提出了极高的要求，这一点我已经在讲解的时候详细说明。
最后的一篇长小说阅读，不少题目需要用到全文的写作基调和感情基调来解题（SAT的小说大多数都是直接事实题，可以直接从行号细节中找出答案，但本文有些题目需要用对主人公的“设定”来做题，这样更好判断）。
2.因为我做中、长篇文章是不读文章的，直接就做题了，双篇文章也读得很少，因此本文也是按我个人的做题流程来解题（比如全文题最后做等），不过每道题我都给出了详细的解释，对一些难题还给出了分析过程，希望可以帮助大家。
3.若是对我的解释有疑惑或者有不同看法，欢迎PM我询问或讨论。
谢谢。
Section 2, Q6-‐9. 短双篇阅读短双篇阅读首先要读文章弄清文章的结构、作者的观点和态度。
不需要精读，有一个整体的概念即可。
我是这样阅读的：Passage 1：第一句说一个人的生活很难放进文字里面；第二句是引用MA说的话，必然是支持第一句的观点，因此不读；第三句说更糟的是传记作家似乎下决心来创造可信的描述来解释一切他们的人物没有做过或者说过的事情（就是捏造事实），即便是…（even i f…）后面就不用看了，因为肯定是在说相似的内容。
最后一句是总结。
第一篇文章实际上就是在说：一个人的生活很难被写出来，更糟的是传记作家还在捏造事实。
Passage 2：第一句说作家经常被传记作家当成值得关注的人物，第二句说问题在于，绝大多数作家，不同于政治家和探险家，他们一种表面上看起来无趣的生活（基本可以看出来本文要为传记作家说话了）。
第三句读了前几个单词，发现实在举例说作家的生活如何无趣，因此跳过不读。
第四句话说好的传记作家因此变成了故事写手。
第五句说这不是说他们在创造事实，rather后面不用看了，内容无外乎就是他们没有捏造事实，知道是为传记作家说话就好了。
第六句说好的传记作家把作家生活中那些无聊的事实变成了吸引人的故事。
SAT阅读：2013年SAT经典文学阅读实践练习题(附答案解析)
2013年SAT阅读实践练习题-文学SAT Subject Test PracticeLiteratureWell versed in literature? The Literature Subject Test gives you the opportunity to highlight your strengths in reading and interpreting literary texts from a variety of historical periods and genres. Taking the test also gives you the opportunity to showcase your interests and enhance your college application.Read the following poem carefully before you choose your answers.(A) "defects" (line 2)(B) "utmost sum" (line 3)(C) "strangely" (line 5)(D) "love, converted" (line 7)(E) "settled gravity" (line 8)The correct answer is AExplanationDifficulty: EasyChoice A is correct. The word "defects" refers to the speaker's sense of his own weaknesses or failures to meet the expectations of others. It would support an argument by the speaker that hedid not deserve to be loved.2、The speaker of the poem is addressing(A) an unspecified general audience(B) a friend of the speaker's beloved(C) a lover(D) a former lover(E) a legal adviserThe correct answer is CExplanationDifficulty: MediumChoice C is correct. The person being addressed in the poem is presented as loving and being loved by the speaker.3、The speaker imagines a time in the future when he might(A) no longer be in love(B) no longer be loved(C) be even more deeply in love(D) be able to explain why he is in love(E) look back fondly on his present happinessThe correct answer is BExplanationDifficulty: MediumChoice B is correct. Lines 2-8 describe an imagined time when the person being addressed will be critical of the speaker and no longer care for him.4、In line 5, the adverb "strangely" means:(A) oddly(B) be even more deeply in love(C) in a distant manner(D) eerily(E) haltinglyThe correct answer is CExplanationDifficulty: MediumChoice C is correct. In lines 5-6, the speaker imagines a time when the person being addressed no longer wishes to meet him. The person passes by "strangely," like someone who is almost a stranger, who "scarcely greets" the speaker and assumes "a distant manner."5、In lines 1, 5, and 9, "against" is best understood to mean:(A) in opposition to(B) in repetition of(C) in contrast to(D) in preparation for(E) in rejection ofThe correct answer is DExplanationDifficulty: MediumChoice D is correct. In lines 1 and 5, the speaker uses "Against that time" to imagine a situation that he anticipates and fears; he uses the phrase again in line 9 to present his preparations for dealing with this situation.6、The "reasons" mentioned in line 8 are best characterized as:(A) scientific explanations for a natural force(B) arguments against rationality itself(C) arguments for the importance of loving(D) logical explanations for the absence of love(E) counterarguments to the speaker's propositionsThe correct answer is DExplanationDifficulty: MediumChoice D is correct. Lines 7-8 indicate that love personified (the lover's feelings) has found "reasons" that justify rejecting the speaker's love.7、One theme of the poem appears to be that：(A) unrequited love is still sweet(B) time transforms lust into love(C) the value of true love cannot be calculated(D) relationships should be controlled by laws(E) reason is insufficient to explain loveThe correct answer is DExplanationDifficulty: MediumChoice E is correct. The speaker refers to "reasons" (line 8), "lawful reasons" (line 12), and "laws" (line 13) that seemingly support behavior with rational motives. In line 14, however, the speaker suggests two related ideas: that reason cannot explain why he is loved and that, since he clearly is loved, reason lacks an adequate way to explain the behavior of lovers.8、In lines 1-12, which of the following is a main verb?(A) "come" (line 1)(B) "shall see" (line 2)(C) "shalt pass" (line 5)(D) "shall find" (line 8)(E) "do ensconce" (line 9)The correct answer is EExplanationDifficulty: HardChoice E is correct. The verb phrase "do ... ensconce," appearing in a section of the poem (lines 9-12) that functions as a main clause would in a sentence, resolves the tension of the modifying clauses represented in lines 1-8.9、Which of the following best describes the language of the poem?(A) Concrete and matter-of-fact(B) Euphemistic and prosaic(C) Metaphoric and logical(D) Informal and conversational(E) Ironic and amusedThe correct answer is CExplanationDifficulty: HardChoice C is correct. The speaker makes his points through devices like personification ("thy love hath cast" in line 3), metaphorical comparisons ("that sun, thine eye" in line 6), and abstractions ("lawful reasons" in line 12). The repetition of "Against that time" also organizes the poem by lending it the systematic structure of a logical argument.10、After Granny’s “Good mornin” (line 7), the camera man probably behaves as he does because he(A) is made to realize that he is intruding(B) suspects that he is in physical danger(C) hopes to win Granny’s affection by appearing at ease(D) is relieved that an adult is present(E) realizes that he is disturbing the tidiness of the yardThe correct answer is AExplanationDifficulty: EasyChoice (A) is correct. Lines 1-7 of the passage set the scene for the conversation that follows: Granny sees the cameraman “cut*ting+ across our neighbor’s yard” and comes outside to confront him (“the screen door bammin soft and scratchy against her palms”). As the cameraman begins to speak, “Granny cut him off. And smiled that smile.” Granny’s curt greeting (“Good mornin’”) and no-nonsense manner make the cameraman realize that he is intruding, as his reaction makes clear: “‘Good mornin’,’ he said, head all down the way Bingo does when you yell at him.” The cameraman seems to feel uncomfortable and hesitant, although he still tries to complete his task of f ilming Granny’s house.11、The tone of “Now, aunty” (line 37) is most accurately described as(A) expectant(B) patronizing(C) accusatory(D) obedient(E) respectfulThe correct answer is BExplanationDifficulty: EasyChoice (B) is correct. In this context, “patronizing” means condescending, or assuming undue familiarity with a person perceived to be inferior. Referring to a person to whom one is not related as “aunty” is patronizing and disrespectful. The cameraman’s lack of respect for Granny is em phasized by the fact that he is “pointin *the camera+ straight at her,” despite having been asked to turn it off. Presumably, it is only because the cameraman feels superior to Granny that he calls her “aunty” rather than using a more respectful term like “ma’am.”12、Granny’s final comment can best be understood as a(A) reluctant confession(B) tentative assertion(C) witty joke(D) surprising revelation(E) strong rebukeThe correct answer is EExplanationDifficulty: EasyChoice (E) is correct. When Granny tells the cameraman, “Your mama and I are not related,” she is doing more than clarifying that she is not his “aunty”; she is also rebuking him, or criticizing him sharply and angrily. Granny’s anger towards the cameraman has been building thro ughout the passage: first, she “cut him off” and “smiled that smile” (lines 7-8); then, she said “with no smile” that she did mind the filming (line 29); last, speaking “real low through her teeth” as she “took a step down off the porch and then another,” she warned the cameraman to “shut that machine off” (lines 34-36). In the last line of the passage, Granny forcefully expresses her anger towards the cameraman by rejecting his insulting use of the term “aunty.”13、The episode reveals a conflict between(A) propriety and impertinence(B) virtue and corruption(C) kindness and cruelty(D) passiveness and aggression(E) refinement and grossnessThe correct answer is AExplanationDifficulty: EasyChoice (A) is correct. Granny displays “propriety,” or polite and appropriate behavior, while the cameraman displays “impertinence,” or rude and inappropriate behavior. The cameraman is not hostile or vulgar in his dealings with Granny, but his rude treatment is evident in his use of the patronizing term “aunty” and his failure to ask permission to film or apologize for his intrusion onto Granny’s property; in short, the cameraman does not treat Granny with proper respect. Granny, on the other hand, politel y greets the cameraman with the phrase “Good mornin’” and a curt smile, and asserts through her speech and actions (“‘I do indeed,’ said Granny with no smile”) that she considers his behavior to be an improper intrusion. Granny is angry, but she does not shout or curse; she simply states, with appropriate directness, that she does not appreciate the cameraman’s actions.14、The excerpt is best described as(A) an enthusiastic celebration of youthful optimism(B) an ironic self-portrait colored by satiric observations(C) an imaginative evocation without didactic intention(D) a symbolic representation of intellectual creativity(E) a narrative episode with philosophical implicationsThe correct answer is EExplanationDifficulty: MediumChoice (E) is correct. The excerpt is a narrative episode with philosophical implications, or a story that deals with issues of nature, reality, and perception. The narrative elements of the poem are evident throughout: the speaker tells the story of events that began w hen he or she “found/A little boat” and decided to take it out on the water. Feeling exhilarated, the speaker suddenly sees “a huge peak, black and huge,” and guiltily turns “Back to the covert of the willow tree,” after which “for many days . . . There hung a darkness, call it solitude/Or blank desertion.” The philosophical elements of the poem are most evident in the discussion of the speaker’s feelings after the event; the speaker grapples with “a dim and undetermined sense/Of unknown modes of being.” Is the speaker awed by the peak because he or she is already feeling guilty about having stolen the boat? Or is there some external force in nature that governs our internal feelings and actions? The questions the poem raises have philosophical implications.15、In lines 1-7, which of the following devices is used to present nature, the boat, and the mountain echoes?(A) Personification(B) Apostrophe(C) Rhyme(D) Paradox(E) SimileThe correct answer is AExplanationDifficulty: MediumChoice (A) is co rrect. “Personification” is the attribution of human qualities to an object or abstraction. Nature, the boat, and the mountain echoes are all personified to some degree in lines 1-7. The speaker first refers to nature as “her” (“led by her”), then calls the cave the boat’s “home” and refers to the boat as “her” (“unloosed her chain”), and finally refers to “the voice/Of mountain echoes.” The speaker’s words subtly convey the impression that nature, the boat, and the mountain echoes are like human characters in the episode and are not merely things.16、In lines 6-7, “the voice/Of mountain-echoes” serves to reinforce the speaker’s sense of(A) freedom(B) omnipotence(C) furtiveness(D) enthusiasm(E) despondencyThe correct answer is CExplanationDifficulty: MediumChoice (C) is correct. “Furtive” means stealthy or surreptitious; a person who is breaking a rule or law or otherwise behaving unethically, in secret, could be said to be behaving in a furtive manner. In lines 5-7, the speaker acknowledges the furtiveness of borrowing a boat that did not belong to him or her: “It was an act of stealth/And troubled pleasure, nor without the voice/Of mountain-echoes did my boat move on.” The reference to the “voice” of the “mountain-echoes” indicates that the speaker, no doubt wary of making too much noise, was acutely conscious of the sounds all around him; the reference thus reinforces the speaker’s sense of furtiveness.17、Which of the following best describes the change in the outlook of the speaker during the course of this excerpt?(A) Naïveté to cynicism(B) Bravery to cowardice(C) Hope to despair(D) Daring to uncertainty(E) Eagerness to slothThe correct answer is DExplanationDifficulty: MediumChoice (D) is correct. The outlook of the speaker at the beginning of the excerpt would best be described as "daring," or bold and adventurous. Having boldly taken a small boat out on the lake for an evening adventure, the speaker describes himself or herself as "like one who rows,/Proud of his skill"; the speaker even uses the adverb "lustily" to convey the confidence with which he or she piloted the boat. But the speaker’s outlook shifts dramatically when he or she speaks of seeing the "huge peak, black and huge": the speaker turned back to the shore "With trembling oars . . . And through the meadows homeward went, in grave/And serious mood." The speaker reveals that in the days that followed, he or she was profoundly shaken and confused by the experience: "for many days, my brain/Worked with a dim and undetermined sense/Of unknown modes of being; o'er my thoughts/There hung a darkness." During the course of the excerpt, the speaker clearly passes from a daring outlook to one of "uncertainty," or one lacking conviction and confidence.18、The dramatic situation in the poem is that of(A) a youth speaking to a lover(B) a priest speaking to a sinner(C) a reformer addressing an impoverished person(D) God addressing any human soul(E) an individual addressing his or her own soulThe correct answer is EExplanationDifficulty: HardChoice (E) is correct. Beginning in line 1, the speaker directly addresses his or her soul: “Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth” (“earth” means “body,” as the following lines make clear). Throughout the rest of the poem, the speaker discusses the relationship between his or her soul and physical body. When the speaker refers to “thy outward walls,” “thy fading mansion,” “thy charge,” and so on, he or she is referring to the body, which will ultimately die and be eate n byworms (“Shall worms, inheritors of this excess/Eat up thy charge? Is this thy body’s end?”). The message of the poem is that the (inner) soul should stop worrying about the (outer) body and should essentially let the body wither and die, knowing that the soul is all that matters in the afterlife (“Then, soul, live thou upon thy servant’s loss”). The dramatic situation of the poem is that of an individual—the speaker—addressing his or her own soul.19、In the context of the poem, “Painting thy outward walls so costly gay” (line 4) refers to(A) camouflage(B) writing poetry(C) attending to physical appearances(D) pretending to be happy(E) preparations for a celebrationThe correct answer is CExplanationDifficulty: HardChoice (C) is correct. At the beginning of the poem, the speaker addresses his or her soul (“Poor soul, the centre of my sinful earth”), and asks why the soul is “Painting thy outward walls so costly gay?” The “outward walls” of the soul refer to the speaker’s physical body, which is being adorned in an expensive and showy manner (“so costly gay”). Lines 3-4 of the poem ask why the soul is attending to physical appearances while neglecting the nourishment the soul needs (“pine within and suffer dearth”)—presumably from spiritual or religious sources.20、The poet signals a major shift at line 9 by changing from(A) entirely negative to entirely positive imagery(B) imagery of permanence to imagery of change(C) direct address to impersonal statement(D) material to spiritual imagery(E) questions to commandsThe correct answer is EExplanationDifficulty: HardChoice (E) is correct. The first eight lines of the poem feature four consecutive questions. The speaker is essentially asking the soul why so much attention is being pai d to the body (“thy outward walls,” “thy fading mansion”), which is only going to die and be consumed by worms (“Is北京新航道学校this thy body’s end?”). In other words, the speaker is asking why the immortal soul is sacrificing its needs in favor of those of the “sinful” and dying body. The speaker’s questions are rhetorical; he or she is using the questions to subtly make the point that spiritual concerns should be emphasized over material things. This point is made more explicit at line 9, when the speaker turns to co mmands: “Then, soul, live thou upon thy servant’s loss,/And let that pine to aggravate thy store . . .” The speaker is commanding the soul to let the body wither and die, knowing that the soul is all that matters in the afterlife (“there’s no more dying then”).21、Which of the following best describes the theme of the concluding couplet (lines 13-14)?(A) A confession of sin before an almighty judge(B) An affirmation of the immortality of the soul(C) A declaration of rebellion against the powers of fate(D) An accusation that death is a faithless servant(E) A surrender to the inexplicable nature of lifeThe correct answer is BExplanationDifficulty: HardChoice (B) is correct. Throughout the poem, the speaker directly addresses the soul. The speaker first questions his or her soul and then commands it to put its own needs over those of the body: “live thou upon thy servant’s loss,/And let that pine to aggravate thy store . . .” In other words, the speaker advocates ignoring physical or material conce rns and focusing on increasing one’s spiritual wellbeing. The last two lines of the poem carry this idea to its logical conclusion: the soul should “feed on Death, that feeds on men,/And Death once dead, there’s no more dying then.” To paraphrase: the body will wither and die but the immortal soul will be enriched, and, having benefited from the death of the body, the soul will transition into some kind of eternal paradise. The image is a fascinating one: while Death is feeding on the body, weakening and ultimately killing it, the soul is feeding on Death, using the suffering of the body to improve its spiritual fitness or closeness to God, in preparation for the eternal afterlife. The theme of these lines is best described as an affirmation of the immortality of the soul.。

三级笔译：《三级笔译实务》1. 英译汉：节选自The New York Times，原文标题为：The Money Ran Out; Then the Villagers Stepped In原文地址：/2012/02/29/world/europe/spanish-village-in-debt-relies-on-volunteers.ht mlHIGUERA DE LA SERENA, Spain —It didn’t take long f or Manuel García Murillo, a bricklayer who took over as mayor here last June, to realize that his town was in trouble. It was 800,000 euros, a little more than $1 million, in the red. There was no cash on hand to pay for anything —and there was work that needed to be done.But then an amazing thing happened, he said. Just as the health department was about to close down the day care center because it didn’t have a proper kitchen, Bernardo Benítez, a construction worker, offered to put up the walls and the tiles free. Then, Maria JoséCarmona, an adult education teacher, stepped in to clean the place up.And somehow, the volunteers just kept coming. Every Sunday now, the residents of this town in southwest Spain — young and old — do what needs to be done, whether it is cleaning the streets, raking the leaves, unclogging culverts or planting trees in the park.“It was an initiative from them,” said Mr. García. “Day to day we talked to people and we told them there was no money. Of course, they could see it. The grass in between the sidewalks was up to my thigh. “Higuera de la Serena is in many ways a microcosm of Spain’s troubles. Just as Spain’s national and regional governments are struggling with the collapse of the construction industry, overspending on huge capital projects and a pileup of unpaid bills, the same problems afflict many of its small towns.But what has brought Higuera de la Serena a measure of fame in Spain is that the residents have stepped up where their government has failed. Mr. García says his phone rings regularly from other town officials who want to know how to do the same thing. He is serving without pay, as are the town’s two other elected officials. They are also forgoing the cars and phones that usually come with the job.“We lived beyond our means,” Mr. García said. “We invested in public works that weren’t sensible. We are in technical bankruptcy.” Even some money from the European Union that was supposed to be used for routine operating expenses and last until 2013 has already been spent, he said.Higuera de la Serena, a cluster of about 900 houses surrounded by farmland, and traditionally dependent on pig farming and olives, got swept up in the giddy days of the construction boom. It built a cultural center and invested in a small nursing home. But the projects were plagued by delays and cost overruns.The cultural center still has no bathrooms. The nursing home, a whitewashed building sits on the edge of town, still unopened. Together, they account for some $470,000 of debt owed to the bank. But the rest of the debt is mostly the unpaid bills of a town that was not keeping up with its expenses. It owes for medical supplies, for diesel fuel, for road repair, for electrical work, for musicians who played during holidays.Higuera de la Serena is not completely without workers. It still has a half-time librarian, two half-time street cleaners, someone part-time for the sports complex, a secretary and an administrator, all of whom are paid through various financing streams apart from the town. But the town once had a work force twice the size. And when someone is ill, volunteers have to step in or the gym and sports complex — open four hours a day — must close.2. 汉译英：节选自胡锦涛在博鳌亚洲论坛2011年会开幕式演讲>>>10年来，中国经济持续快速发展，经济实力、综合国力、人民生活水平迈上新的台阶，国家面貌发生举世瞩目的历史性变化，为促进亚洲和世界经济增长作出了重要贡献。

2013年5月SAT写作真题详解及范文
2013年5月sat 写作真题解析啄木鸟教育孔令伊老师一、2013写作趋势分析1、题目不常规从2012年以来，sat的作文题就给人一种时不时在抽风的感觉。
一看到题目就有一种“你在玩儿我吧！”分的八大类别的题目和例子完全没有用好么?!但的确如此么？我们仔细看看这些题目。
比方说2012年五月，Do advertisements contribute to unhappiness and dissatisfaction? 看起来很不常规的题目，往往让考生在考的时候直接进入放弃模式。
自然，如果说此时可以想到几个具体的广告的例子并且论述的话是更好的，但是用我们平时准备的例子也并不是没有生路了。
比方说转换为大众观点的题目，广泛传播的大众观点会不会给人们带来困扰？再比方说可以转换为成功类的题目，广告可不可以激励成功？等等。
只要我们耐下性子不被它吓到，这些所谓的偏题怪题也就没有那么偏那么怪了。
再来看2013年5月的题目，Is preparing for the future more important than enjoying the present?要及时行乐还是未雨绸缪。
看起来和常规的题目也离得挺远，和之前每一类的题目都不能直接联系上。
但是仔细去分析一下，enjoy 享受，那可以理解为happiness，在看future，可以理解为成功，后果等等。
那这个题目通过可以转换付出努力后的成功，这样的题目就非常常规熟悉了。
2、很难直接套用例子。
虽然说可以转换思维，把题目换成我们熟悉的话题来写，但是2012，2013年的题目还是给人一种例子不知道该怎么用的感觉。
这对大家平时的积累就又有了新的要求。
（1）经典的例子要灵活使用。
我们准备的例子是有限的，但是每个例子都可以用不同的发散。
比方说BILL GATES，可以用来说成功，说机遇，说学习，说创新，也可以用来说社会责任，慈善等等。
既然已经准备了一个例子，就把这个人挖掘得更加透彻一些，让这个例子可以辐射更多的题目。
2013年5月CATTI翻译资格水平考试真题
2013年5月CATTI翻译资格水平考试真题（回忆版）二级笔译：《二级笔译实务》1. 英译汉第一篇：节选自The New York Times，原文标题为：Ancient Arab Shipwreck Yields Secrets of Ninth-Century Trade原文地址：/2011/03/08/arts/08iht-singshow08.htmlFor more than a decade, archaeologists and historians have been studying the contents of a ninth-century Arab dhow that was discovered in 1998 off Indonesia’s Belitung Island. The sea-cucumber divers who found the wreck had no idea it eventually would be considered one of the most important maritime discoveries of the late 20th century.The dhow was carrying a rich cargo — 60,000 ceramic pieces and an array of gold and silver works — and its discovery has confirmed how significant trade was along a maritime silk road between Tang Dynasty China and Abbasid Iraq. It also has revealed how China was mass-producing trade goods even then and customizing them to suit the tastes of clients in West Asia.“Shipwrecked: Tang Treasures and Monsoon Winds,” at the new, lotus-shaped ArtScience Museum designed by Moshe Safdie, presents items from the Belitung wreck. Curated by the Asian Civilisations Museum here and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington, theshow is expected to travel to museums around the world over the next five to six years.“This exhibition t ells us a story about an extraordinary moment in globalization,” said Julian Raby, director of the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. “It brings to life the tale of Sinbad sailing to China to make his fortune. It shows us that the world in the ninth century was not as fragmented as we assumed. There were two great export powers: the Tang in the east and the Abbasid based in Baghdad.”Until the Belitung find, historians had thought that Tang China traded primarily through the land routes of Central Asia, mainly on the Silk Road. Ancient records told of Persian fleets sailing the Southeast Asian seas but no wrecks had been found, until the Belitung dhow. Its cargo confirmed that a huge volume of trade was taking place along a maritime route, said Heidi Tan, a curator at the Asian Civilisations Museum and a curator of the exhibition.Mr. Raby said: “The size of the find gives us a sense of two things: a sense of China as a country already producing things on an industrialized scale and also a China that is no longer producing ceramics to bury.” He was referring to the production of burial pottery like camels and horses, which was banned in the late eighth century. “Instead, kilns looked for other markets and they started producing t ableware and they built an export market.”2. 英译汉第二篇：同样节选自The New York Times，原文标题为：E.U. Signals Big Shift on Genetically Modified Crops原文地址：/2010/05/10/business/energy-environmen t/10green.htmlMadeira is more than 500 kilometers from the African coast and is officially one of th e “outermost regions” of the European Union. Despite that far-flung status, Madeira catapulted into the center of the Union’s agricultural and environmental affairs last year when Portugal asked the European Commission for permission to impose an unprecedented ban on growing biotech crops there.Last week, the commission quietly let the deadline pass for opposing Portugal’s request, allowing Madeira, which is one of Portugal’s autonomous regions, to become the first E.U. territory to get formal permission from Brussels to remain entirely free of genetically modified organisms. Madeira now will probably go ahead and implement the ban, a spokeswoman for the Portuguese government said Friday.Individual European countries and regions have banned certain genetically modified crops before. Many consumers and farmers in countries like Austria, France and Italy regard the crops as potentially dangerous and likely to contaminate organically produced food. But the case of Madeira represents a significant landmark, because it is the first time the commission, which runs the day-to-day affairs of the European Union, has permitted a country to impose such a sweeping and definitive rejection of the technology.The Madeirans’ main concerns focused on preserving thearchipel ago’s biodiversity and its forest of subtropical laurel trees. Such forests, known as laurisilva, were once widespread on theEuropean mainland but were wiped out thousands of years ago during an earlier period of climate change. That has left Madeira with “much the largest extent of laurel forest surviving in the world, with a unique suite of plants and animals,” according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which named the Madeiran laurisilva a World Heritage Site in 1999. The forest also is a growing attraction for tourists, who make up a significant portion of Madeira’s earnings.In seeking to ban biotechnology on Madeira, the Portuguese government told the commission that it would be impossible to separate crops containing genetically engineered material from other plant life. The “risk to nature presented by the deliberate release of GMOs is so dangerous and poses such a threat to the environmental and ecological health of Madeira, that it is not worthwhile risking their use, either directly in the agricultural sector or even on an experimental basis,” the Portuguese told the commission.3. 汉译英第一篇：稀土是不可再生的重要自然资源，在经济社会发展中的用途日益广泛，如光学、电子信息、航空航天、核工业等尖端科技领域。
