2022年上海中级口译考试真题答案及解析

2022年上海中级口译考试真题答案及解析

Spot Dictation:We all have problems and barriers that block our progress, or prevent us from moving into new areas. Our problems might include the fear of speaking in front of a group, anxiety about math problems, or the reluctance to sound silly trying to speak a foreign language. It's natural to have problems and barriers, but sometimes they limit our experience so much, we get bored with life. When that happens, consider the following three ways of dealing with the problem or barrier.One way is to pretend it doesn't exist. Avoid it, deny it, and lie about it. It's like turning your head the other way, putting on a fake grin, and saying, "See, there's really no problem at all. Everything is fine."In addition to looking foolish, this approach leaves the barrier intact, and we keep bumping into it. So, a second approach is to fight the barrier, to struggle against it. This usually makes the barrier grow. It increases the barrier's magnitude. A person who is obsessed with weight might constantly worry about being fat. He might struggle with it every day, trying diet after diet. And the more he struggles, the bigger the problem gets.The third alternative is to love the barrier. Accept it. Totally experience it. Tell the truth about it. Describe it in detail.Applying this process is easier if you remember two ideas. First, loving aproblem is not necessarily the same as enjoying it. Love in this sense means total and unconditional acceptance. Second, unconditional acceptance is not the same as unconditional surrender. Accepting a problem is different than giving up or escaping from it. Rather, this process involves escaping into the problem, diving into it headfirst, and getting to know it in detail.Often the most effective solutions come, when we face a problem squarely, with eyes wide open, then we can move through the problem, instead of around it. When you are willing to love your problems, you drain them of much of their energy.【评析】本文选自Dave Ellis 旳著作Becoming a Master Student其中旳一种章节:Love your problems and experience your barriers,本文重要简介了处理问题旳三种措施,第一种是直接忽视它,就当不存在;第二种是正视它,挑战它,第三种则是爱上困难,充足体验。

I was largely unresponsive. The previous owners of our house installed a burglar alarm system, but we never got it switched on, because, quoting Ed, I apparently care more about the $29 monthly fee than I do about our home security. In the end, I gave in.The alarm company sent over a sales representative, a well-coiffed professional in a suit and heels. She recommended adding some infrared motion sensors. I was not wild about this. I like to keep things simple. My idea of home security is to hire cheap, disreputable painters who can be counted upon to paint the windows shut. "Besides, can't the motion sensors be set off by a pet?" I said.Ed leaned in close to the sales rep. "We don't have any pets," he whispered. "We don't have a pet now'' I said." But we might someday." I knew this to be a lie. Ed is a dog person, and I'm a cat person. We cancel each other out.I pointed out that every now and then, the neighbors' cat, Sprinkles, will sneak into the house when the back door is open. The alarm woman started talking about "pet resistance." This was a feature of the motion sensor whereby it was set to cover the room from the waist up only. "Though of course...," she hesitated, "the cat would have to stay on the ground at all times."We got the sensors, and we got the system switched on. We never got a pet, each of us practicing his or her own particular brand of pet resistance, but we did, after many years of cost-based bickering, get a housecleaner. Every other month, Natalia can be seen making her way through the filth and cobwebs. I gave her the alarm code but promised to leave the alarm off the day she came.Naturally, I forgot. Later that morning, my work phone rang. It was Natalia, yelling in harmony with the shrieking of the alarm. She couldn't find the code. On top of all this, my cell phone started ringing. This was the alarm company, responding to the alarm and calling me to get the secret password-which was different from the shutoff code-required for them to shut off the system and prevent the police from rushing over to arrest Natalia for breaking and entering. Some weeks back, Ed and I had spent 15 minutes arguing over the secret password for the alarm. Ed is a fan of the complicated, hacker-proof, identity-theft-foiling password, the kind that involves alternating capital and lowercase letters with obscure foreign accent marks, whereas I'lluse my name. I had no recollection of what we'd settled on. "Ummmm." The alarm, and Natalia, continued to go off. This went on for some time.Meanwhile, Natalia had dug through her bag, found the piece of paper I'd given her w ith the shutoff code and quieted the screaming alarm. I don't know how effective these alarms are against burglars, but Sprinkles hasn't been seen on the property in weeks.1.Why didn't the writer get the burglar alarm system switched on?(A) Because she didn't like its design.(B) Because the burglar alarm system had broken down.(C) Because she considered monthly fee unnecessary.(D) Because she thought their home security was not a problem.2.The family didn't have a pet because _______.(A) they didn't like pets(B) they didn't like each other's favorite animal(C) they took their neighbors' pet as their own.(D) it cost a lot to have a pet.3.According to the sales representative, the motion sensor _______.(A) is pet resistant(B) is set to cover the room floor(C) could be set off by a pet if it was near(D) could be set off by a pet if it jumped high enough4.The word "bickering" in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.(A) arguing(B) considering(C) persuading(D) consulting5.Ed preferred their password for the alarm to be _______.(A) complicated(B) interesting(C) easy to remember(D) his own nameQuestions 6-10An article published recently in the prestigious scientific journal Nature is shedding new light on an important, but hitherto little has been appreciated, aspect of human evolution. In this article, Professors Dennis Bramble and Daniel Lieberman suggest that the ability to run was a crucial factor in the development of our species. According to the two scientists, humans possess a number of anatomical features that make them surprisingly good runners. 'We are very confident that strong selection for running-which came at the expense of the historical ability to live in trees-was instrumental in the origin of the modern human body form,' says Bramble, a biology professor at the University of Utah.Traditional thinking up to now has been that the distinctive, upright body form of modern humans has come about as a result of the ability to walk, and that running is simply a by-product of walking. Furthermore, humans have usually been regarded as poor runners compared to such animals as dogs, horses or antelopes. However, this is only true if we consider fast running, or sprinting, over short distances. Even an Olympic athlete can hardly run as fast as a horse can gallop, and can only keep up a top speed for fifteen seconds or so. Horses, antelopes andgreyhounds, on the other hand, can run at top speed for several minutes, clearly outperforming us in this respect. But when it comes to long-distance running, humans do astonishingly well. They can maintain a steady pace for miles, and their overall speed compares favourably with that of horses or dogs.Bramble and Lieberman examined twenty-six anatomical features found in humans. One of the most interesting of these is the nuchal ligament, a band of tissue that extends from a ridge on the base of the skull to the spine. When we run, it is this ligament that prevents our head from pitching back and forth or from side to side. Therefore, we are able to run with steady heads, held high. The nuchal ligament is not found in any other surviving primates, although the fossil record shows that Homo erectus, an early human species that walked upright, much as we do, also had one. Then there are our Achilles tendons at the backs of our legs, which connect our calf muscles to our heel bones-and which have nothing to do with walking. When we run, these tendons behave like springs, helping to propel us forward. Furthermore, we have low, wide shoulders, virtually disconnected from our skulls, another anatomical adaptation which allows us to run more efficiently. Add to this our light forearms, which swing out of phase with the movement of our legs to assist balance, and one begins to appreciate the point that Bramble and Lieberman are trying to make.But what evolutionary advantage is gained from being good long-distance runners? One hypothesis is that this ability may have permitted early humans to obtain food more effectively. 'What these features and fossil facts appear to be telling us is that running evolved in order forour direct ancestors to compete with other carnivores for access to the protein needed to grow the big brains that we enjoy today,' says Lieberman.6.The human ability to run ______.(A) was only recently described in a scientific journal(B) played an important part in human evolution(C) is now regarded as more important than the ability to climb trees(D) is surprising when we consider evolutionary trends7.According to the passage, humans ______.(A) are better runners than most other animals(B) are not good at running short distances(C) compare unfavorably with horses and dogs(D) cannot run at top speed over long distances8.It appears that the nuchal ligament _______.(A) is found only in modern primates(B) enables us to run with steady heads(C) prevents the head from moving(D) is a unique anatomical feature among all species9.The passage suggests that _______.(A) we do not need calf muscles in order to walk(B) without shoulders we could not run very fast(C) the movement of our forearms is out of phase(D) our Achilles tendons are an adaptation for running10.According to the passage, early humans _______.(A) killed animals by exhausting them(B) may have evolved big brains for running(C) competed with other animals for food(D) could probably run before they could walkQuestions 11-15People value money desperately because they value one another desperately; thus the cause of panic in the stock-market plunge is not that people will lose their dollars but that they will lose their sense of community. For the past couple of weeks, the nation has watched itself roll toward ruin because people were losing their money in bales. If one were tasteless enough to ask a big loser what exactly he was losing, he would sputter, "What am I losing? My car! My beautiful home! My children's educations! My clothes! My dinner! My dollars!" They are all true. People have been mourning the passing of their money for all the things that money can do, and what money can do is impressive. Money can build cities, cure diseases, and win wars. The sudden acquisition of the stuff can toss our spirits into the air like a hat.Money can do considerably more. It offers power, an almost unique form of power, not simply because it allows us to acquire and possess things but because it is we who determine its worth; we who say a ruby costs more than an apple; we who decide that a tennis court is more valuable than a book. Paradoxically, money creates a deep sense of powerlessness as well, since technically we cannot provide money for ourselves; someone or something else must do that for us-our employers or, until recently, our stocks. All that, money can do: and when such essential, familiar functions are snatched from one's life, small wonder that people may grow wild, frantic, and even murderous.What money can do, however, is not the same as what money is. Let's return for a moment to the theory: people value money because they value one another. In other words, the usefulness of money is directly related to and established by continuous mutual need. People work for money to buy things that other people make or do, things that they cannot or will not make or do for themselves but that they deem necessary for some definition of self-improvement. Abstractly, money is one of the ways, indeed a universally accepted way, by which we make connections. Cash is cold. So the connections may feel cold, but real blood flows through them. These connections constitute one of the central means by which societies cohere; by which they sustain and characterize themselves.When the coin begins to wobble, as it has in the past weeks, a fear seizes the mind that is disorienting. The fear is not merely that of the loss of possessions but of self-possession, which in some sense is bought and sold from person to person in infinite daily bargains. To lose money is frightening. To lose touch with others is more frightening still. Losing touch may cause the panic of the times.11.This passage mainly discusses _______.(A) the functions of money(B) the stock-market plunge(C) a new theory of investment(D) a cold characteristic of cash12.According to the author, what can be a regular source of money provided for us?(A) Possessions.(B) Bargains.(C) Stocks.(D) Employers.13.According to the passage, money can do all the following EXCEPT _______.(A) build cities and cure diseases(B) enhance relationships among people(C) create a sense of powerlessness(D) prove the morality of people14.Under what circumstances are connections related to cash said to be cold in the passage?(A) When they are not established for societies to cohere.(B) When they are not compared to "real blood".(C) When their functions are snatched from people's life.(D) When their worth is hard to determine and not valued.15.It can be learned from the passage that ______.(A) people worry about the dollars they have more than the sense of community(B) money can lubricate the social machine but it cannot prove the value of people(C) in daily transactions one's self-possession is gained or lost(D) losing money is more frightening than losing touch with othersQuestions 16-20At first glance, why anyone would want to save California condors is not entirely clear. Unlike the closely related Andean condors with their white neck fluff or king vultures with their brilliant black-and-white colour, California condors are not much to see. Their dull black colour-even when contrasted with white underwings-featherless head and neck, oversized feet and blunt talons are hardly signs of beauty or strength. Their appeal begins to become evident when they take flights. California condors can soar almost effortlessly for hours, often coveringhundreds of miles a day-far more than other creatures of the air. Only occasionally do they need to flap their wings-to take off, change direction or find a band of warm air known as thermal to carry them higher.When it was discovered that the condor population was becoming dangerously small, scientists and zookeepers sought to increase condor numbers quickly to preserve as much of the species' genetic diversity as possible. From studying wild condors, they already knew that if a pair lost an egg, the birds would often produce another. So the first and sometimes second eggs laid by each female in captivity were removed, artificially incubated, and the chicks raised using hand-held puppets made to look like adult condors. Such techniques quickly proved effective.Despite these successes, the effort to save California condors continues to have problems, evoke criticisms and generate controversy. Captive-hatched condors released to the wild have died at what to some people are alarmingly high rates. Others have had to be recaptured after they acted foolishly or became ill. As a result, the scientists, zookeepers and conservationists who are concerned about condors have bickered among themselves over the best ways to rear and release the birds.Some of the odd behavior on the part of these re-released birds is hard to explain. At times they landed on people's houses and garages, walked across roads and airport runways, sauntered into park visitor centers and fast food restaurants, and took food offered by picnickers and fishermen. None are known to have died by doing so, though. Most recently, some of the first chicks hatched in the wild died after their parents fed them bottle caps, glass shards, pieces of plastic and other man-made objects that fatally perforated or blocked their intestines. These deaths maybe due to the chicks' parents mistaking man-made objects for bone chips eaten for their calcium content.Mike Wallace, a wildlife specialist at the San Diego Zoo, has suggested that some of the condors' problems represent natural behavior that helps them survive as carrion eaters. The real key to successful condor reintroduction, he believes, lies in properly socializing young condors as members of a group that follow and learn from older, preferably adult birds. That, he argues, was missing from earlier condor releases to the wild. Typically, condors hatched in the spring were released to the wild that autumn or winter, when they were still less than a year old. Now, condor chicks at several zoos are raised in cave-like nest boxes. The chicks can see older condors in a large flight pen outside their box but cannot interact with them until they are about five months old. Then the chicks are gradually released into the pen and the company of the social group. The group includes adult and older juvenile condors that act as mentors for younger ones.16.According to the passage, the most impressive feature of the California condor is _______.(A) its resemblance to Andean condor(B) its ability to glide(C) its colorful plumage(D) its blunt talons17.In the first stage of the conservation program _______.(A) eggs were removed from the nests of wild condors(B) female condors were captured and studied carefully(C) scientists and zookeepers tried to create genetic diversity(D) condors were induced to lay more than one egg18.Which of the following is true about the attempts to save these birds from extinction?(A) There is disagreement about the methods employed.(B) The majority of condors released into the wild became ill.(C) Attempts to breed condors in captivity have failed,(D) Condors reintroduced into the wild are unable to hunt.19.Some chicks hatched by re-released condors died because _______.(A) they fell into pools of water(B) they fell prey to other animals(C) they had odd drinking habits(D) they swallowed dangerous objects20.According to Mike Wallace, there will be fewer problems _______.(A) if young condors are taught not to eat so much carrion(B) if the chicks are kept in cave-like nest boxes for five months(C) if young condors can learn appropriate behavior from older birds(D) if the chicks can have older birds for company when they hatchQuestions 21-25We are not who we think we are.The American self-image is suffused with the golden glow of opportunity. We think of the United States as a land of unlimited possibility, not so much a classless society but as a place where class is mutable-a place where brains, energy and ambition are what counts, not the circumstances of one's birth.。

上海中级口译考试评分标准详解

上海中级口译考试评分标准详解

听力部分:1. 听力Spot Dictation20个空,每个1.5分,只有名、动、形、副词直接扣分,扣分比重视该次考试的标准及该单词在词组中的重要程度而定,比如,a vital element如果vital没写,扣0.5分,element 同理,如果a不写,不直接扣,教师在卷面做标注,比如红点,然后20个格子阅完后视标注情况整体再扣1-3分。

不是很严重的拼写错误不扣分,比如resistant写成resident.允许适当连笔书写,只要不影响老师的评改。

2. 听力选择共30题,每题1分,共计30分。

3. 听译Sentence & Passage translation句子翻译每句3分,也是整体评分,比如通读译文,大致给出是0,1,2,3档,这个标准与第二试的口译一致,要求给出大意,及主要的细节;要求逐字对应,不得出现严重误译,反译。

举个简单例子,原文是Britain witnessed sharp increase in its criminal activities from l999 to 2003。

如果译文是1999-2003年间英国犯罪率上升了。

那么基本是满分3分,不强求要把sharp体现出来,而witness目睹了这个意思也不用很精确。

如果写成1999-2002,扣0.5,如果没写出犯罪率或者犯罪案件这个概念,得分不超过1分,因为意思都不对了。

如果把increase译成了犯罪率下降,起码扣1分。

段落翻译两篇,一般是7+8分,passage的概念可以按照2-3句句子来理解,评分标准同理。

高口这个部分阅卷相对宽松,允许出现部分细节的遗漏。

比如原文是in the areas Of economy,finance,trade,shipping,insurance,realestate,六个关键词一般译出五个就肯定是满分,如果那次考试普遍得分较低,四个也可以不扣分。

阅读部分:共30题单项选择,每题2分,共计60分。

中级口译听力备考分析

中级口译听力备考分析

中级口译听力备考分析本文作者:黄翌上海新东方学校口译教研组成员,中级口译听力明星教师。

高级同声翻译。

上海市中级口译笔试部分的听力测试共包括三道大题。

第一大题为Spot Dictation(听写填空),边听边填空,共有二十个空格,每格需要填2至4个词。

相对于大家熟悉的大学英语四六级听力测试中的Compound Dictation(复合式填空),考生在中级口译笔试部分的听力测试中的文章只会朗读一次,所以难度相对较高。

第二大题为Listening Comprehension(听力理解),其中共有两道小题,第一小题为Statements(陈述),考查考生的同意置换能力,即听完一句 20 字左右的句子,在 12 秒内找出 4 个选项中意思最相近的。

另一小题为Talks & Conversation(选择),即听完段落或对话后进行4道题的选择,5篇文章共20题。

最后一道大题为Listening Translation(听译) , 当中包含 5 句Sentence Translation(句子听译)及2段Passage Translation(段落听译),听完后考生一段时间作答。

其中句子听译时间间隔为50秒,段落听译时间间隔为150至200秒。

俗话说,知己知彼,百战不殆。

同学们考试前应进行自我诊断,找出对自己备考有利的、值得发扬的因素,同时发现存在的问题和挑战,然后找出相应备考方案。

正如我在上海新东方的中口听力课堂上所言,考生们可以仿效管理学上的SWOT分析方法, 即优势(Strengths)、劣势(Weaknesses)、内外环境所形成的机会(Opportunities)和威胁(Threats),来制订符合自身实际情况的复习战略和策略。

首先我们分析S(优势)。

很多参加中级口译考试的同学都经历过四级考试,或者水平相当于四级,学了十几年英文,有了一定的积累。

毫无疑问,这种积累对于中级口译的学习是非常有利的,因为语言类考试都要求积累,所以这是同学们自身所具有的优势。

口译考试听力难点 2 (spot dictation)
听力第一部分的“spot dictation”是考生易失分的地方。

这个大题要求考生听一篇300-400个字左右的文章,根据录音填写20个空格,每个空格要求填写一至六个单词,而基本上大部分空格要求填写三至四个单词,录音放完一遍后有两分钟左右的时间给考生整理答案。

大部分考生都习惯于边听边把答案直接填在题卷空格内,“求全”是很多考生做这个大题时的心理。

但就是这个“求全”的心理造成了考生的失分,考生为了记下第一个空格的每个单词,往往漏听了第二个,甚至第三个空格。

只注重听单词,获得的只是片段信息,而对于全文没有整体理解,因此录音放完后也只能寻找记忆。

整理答案的两分钟对于这样的考生来说是难熬的,由于思路混乱,只能盼望时间快点过去。

好的方法是听的时候只记下关键词或是做些记号,写第一格时眼睛迅速移到第二格,注重全面理解。

录音放完后,利用两分钟还原信息。

解决方案:1 尽量使用缩略语等易懂的速记方式,自己也可以自创一些速记符号,可以中英文混杂,如:听到beautiful时,可以以“美”这个中文字代替,as follows=af ; Address=地 ;see you=cu ; face to face=f2f ; month= 月; as soon as possible=asap . advertisement=ad ; business=biz ;
automobile=auto ; University=uni ; secretary=sec; professor=prof 等。

口译考试听力难点 3 talks and conversations
在听做题说明时,立即看前两题到三题的选项,以预测可能出现或需要回答的问题,尤其以数字、地点、年月日为重,一旦听力理解题开始,多听少记。

多听:心记细节内容;少记:重点记下与选择题有关的词语。

文章的第一句话一定要听懂,因为西方人的思维是开门见山式的,往往是一篇文章的中心。

例句:I am Joe. I am having trouble with chemistry this year. (文章开头). 问:Which of the following subjects is Joe having trouble with? 选项:A physics B chemistry C math D English.
如何预测:例如看到1:a: airport b: railroad station c: coach station d: subway 就知道即将听到的内容发生的地点是选项中的一个,在听的时候只要稍做笔记,即可选对。

再例如看到 a: gate1 b: gate2 c: gate 6 d: gate 8 时就知道要考的内容是关于在机场登机场景,只要在听的时候听清登机门号即可了另外,多熟悉西方社会的生活文化背景知识对考试得分大有帮助,因为口译考试是一种能力考试,它的目的是培养口译人才,而一个合格的口译是必须要什么都懂一点,是一个杂家。

口译考试听力难点 4. 听译 (考生丢分最严重的地方)
听译也是听力中的难点。

听译文章的信息量很充足,对于考生的听力理解、短暂记忆和即时翻译能力都是挑战。

而且场景的变换很快,每段文章之间都是没有联系的,因此考生要跟着录音迅速进行角色转换。

录音资料转瞬即逝,考生要学会摆脱阴影,没有听懂的句子马上放弃,进入下一句的翻译状态。

听录音时,用笔记录和大脑记录相结合,不要拘泥于记录下每个字,它只是对脑记的补充。

听译主要记什么:心记大意,笔记人名、地名、时间、数字等。

注意要把握重点意思,不求逐词翻译。

结语:听力与口语是密切相连的,所以,提高口语是提高听力最快的一个方式,所以希望各位同学,从语音入手,接而熟悉语汇、句型,掌握西方人的思维模式,这些将对你的口译考试帮助极大!平常注意积累口语的基本句型,常用短语,英美两国的风土人情,一些主要的大城市的中英文名,世界热点问题,英美两国的名人、名校,历史上的著名事件,另外,托福听力也是练习听力的极好素
