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。

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--Unit 15
Unit 15. Part one. First aid. 2. Exercises.1. Listen to the passage about first aid. And then choose the best answer to each question you hear.The most important thing about first aid is to do only what is necessary, but to do that is carefully and quickly as you can. When an accident happens, don’t rush or get exited. Stop and think first. If the injured person is in no immediate danger from fire, water or traffic, leave him lying where he is. A rolled up cope or pull over placed under his head and a cope blanket over him is the best treatment you can give while waiting for help. If the person is unconscious, loosening his clothing and especially around the neck. If an arm or leg lies awkwardly or looks out of shape, trying not to move it. Remember that you can do a lot of harm by trying to do too much. Of course there are times when you can’t wait for help, and you must do the best you can until a doctor or ambulance arrives. If the injured person has stopped breathing, you must start artificial respiration as soon as possible. If he is bleeding badly you must act immediately to stop the flow of blood. If he can’t stand the side of blood, take a few deep breath through your mouth, this will enable you to think clearly and act calmly.Questions:1) What is the most important thing about first aid?2) What should we do if the injured person is in no immediate danger?3) Which of the following is not an act of first aid?2.

First aid for young children. Listen to the following talk about first aid for young children.And then choose the best answer to each question you hear.As any parent will tell you small cuts and minor grazers are unavoidable among small children. Such cuts and grazers were usually needed little or no treatment. The bleeding will clean the wound naturally and it should stop within a few minutes as the blood clots and dries. More serious cuts may need to be gentler cleaned with soft cotton and warm water. They should then be dressed with a clean cotton bandage. Follow this simple check list of questions. Ask yourself each of these questions in order to make sure you treat cuts and grazers properly. Firstly, is the cut on the face. If it is, call a doctor as soon as possible, especially if the eyes injured. Secondly, is the cut near the eye. If it is, put a clean piece of cotton wool over it and press it on firmly for about 5 minutes. Thirdly, ask yourself if the cut is still bleeding badly. If it is, dress it with a clean cotton bandage and call a doctor as soon as possible. Fourthly, is the cut a deep one and is it wide open. If it is, clean the cut gently with clean cotton wool and a little warm water then hold it close with an adhesive dressing. Fifth question, was the cut made by a nail or a long sharp piece of wood. If it was, there may be some dirt in the cut. Let it bleed for a while to clean itself. Then clean it with cotton wool and warm water and dress it with a clean cotton bandage. Finally, don’t forget that young children can become very easily upset or shocked by a cut, especially if it is a serious one. Try to keep them calm and quiet. Don’t give them anything to drink but keep their lips wet with a little water.Questions:1) What should you do if a child is cut near the eye?2) What should you do with a very deep cut?3) What should you do if the child is nervous or upset?3. How to keep fit? Listen to the following interview and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Could you tell how we should keep fit?M: Well, really what we should do is to try to keep fit or round. Now what do I mean by that?I mean such things as keeping up our strength and our suppleness and our stamina. Now you may say why do we need all 3 of those things? Well, strength is usually really just so that we don’t strain muscles or pull ligaments and tendons when we suddenly have to do somethi ng and be energetic, like to lift a heavy suitcase or perhaps shift a wardrobe or even get out of a chair or a bath. Suppleness is important obviously, so that you can bend and move freely and reach things, again without injuring yourself. And stamina is particularly important so that you can sought of keep going without losing breath, so you have endurance. One other great plus about developing stamina, is that you maintain your stamina over a period of years. It actually has an affect of protecting the heart against heart disease.W: So out of those three which is most important?M: Well, it depends who you are, and what you want to do. I mean the reason for keeping fit is to keep it for your way of life, the life you choose. Now you may say, “Well, if I choose the sort of flop about in an armchair all day watching tele, I don’t need to keep very fit, do I?” Well, that’s unfortunately not true, because there are always times when you have to make a little bit of extra amount on your body by force of circumstance. You may have to suddenly lift something heavy, or move something, or may have to run for a bus or whatever, in which case you do yourself at injury, and you may even actually harm something important likeyour heart. So it is important to actually try to keep your fitness a little ahead of the sort of way of life that you have. Just to push yourself, just that little bit harder, and get yourself just that little bit fitter.Questions:1) According to the man being interviewed, for which group of people is keeping fit important?2) According to the man being interviewed, which of the following factors is not included in the idea of keeping fit?3) Which of the following is more important for protecting your heart?4) Which of the following is not true according to the interview?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. Sentence translation.1) Railway service is now being improved in many parts of the world to meet competition from road and air transport.2) Reducing population growth rate is particularly important for developing countries, because their economies cannot support too many people.3) Com puter games can improve children’s health despite research that shows excessive playing causes aggression in the young a new study claims today.4) Researchers have found that women and men do with pains differently. Women tend to focus on the emotional aspects of pain, while men tend to concentrate on the physical sensations.5) As we enter 2007 the economic growth is stable. More than 7 million jobs have been created since August 2006 and inflation and interest rates are low.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) On a whole, I find television commercials extremely annoying. I mean you are watching a film on television perhaps, and suddenly you are interrupted by the stupid commercials with a silly format which has nothing to do with the film you are watching.

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--ST 3
Sample test 3.Part A. Spot dictation. Directions: 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 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.OK. Making a presentation is often the source of anxiety for people. They usually ranked it as one of things they least wanted to do. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some tips to make your next presentation go more smoothly. First, it’s very important to analyze the situation. Think about your audience. What do they want to know? What do you want to accomplish? What is the most effective way to get your ideas across in the time that you have? Once you figure that out, you’re ready for step 2, preparation. Make an outline of your key objectives. This will help you shape a clear presentation. You want to begin with an introduction. Go on to cover your main points and then end with a conclusion. Remember to be clear and simple. Too many details will confuse and bore your audience. The third step is practice. One of the best ways to eliminate anxiety is to spend time knowing your material. Reread it and practice speaking in front of a mirror or another person. You could also tape yourself and play it back to see how you can improve. Practice will make you more confident. The delivery of your presentation is the fourth important step. Concentrate on maintaining good gesture, speaking clearly and slowly, and making eye contact with your audience. Beginning your presentation with an anecdote or a funny story is a good way to make that initial contact with your audience. Remember to smile. Finally, it’s a good idea to use visual aids. They are very effective methods of conveying your ideas. And keep them simple and easy to read. Charts, slides, videos or hand-outs, all of these can be effective tools when used properly. Make sure you are prepared, and know how to use any equipment ahead of time. By following these 5 steps you should be able to enjoy your next presentation. Don’t dread it. Part B. Listening comprehension.1. Statements. Directions: 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.1) Good news! I am not going to need any surgery after all. The doctor says that I can start working out again soon.2) I have to fill out these forms now. They are due at the financial aid office by tomorrow afternoon.3) I feel horrible. Jane was furious that I lost her notes. But I will let her cool off a few days before I talk to her.4) Last Monday when I was at doctor Smith’s office I spend over an hour in the waiting room. Something must have come up that day.5) About the concert tonight it’s unlikely I will be able to pick you up before 7. What about just getting together there?6) I didn’t even read the text book, but I still manage to get an A on the test. Now you know why I never miss the lecture.7) I am going to be at a lecture in the auditorium most of this morning. And you know what the air-conditioning is like there. That’s why I am wearing this sweater.8) Did you go to the concert th e other day? It’s set a record for attendance. There wasn’t an empty seat in the house.9) The state ballet is coming to town next weekend and I just happen to have one ticket, but I got some sort of conflict in my schedule.10) How much longer should I boil these vegetables? They looked pretty done to me. The recipe says it needs only about 10 minutes total.2. Talks and conversations. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short talks and conversations. After each of these you will hear a few questions. Listen carefully because you will hear the talk or conversation and the questions only once. When you hear a question read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet.W: For the first time ever the scientific community has established the existence of planets outside their own solar system. Of course we knew that certain distance stars existed, but only recently did we learn that several of them are orbited by their own planets.M: Why did it take so long to locate these planets?W: You have to understand that they are a billion times dimmer than their parent stars. It will be like trying to see the light of a candle next to a huge explosion. We don't currently have a telescope that can be used to see them.M: But if the astronomers didn’t see the planets through a telescope how did they find them? W: By a very indirect method. The astronomers measured subtle distortions in the frequency of light from the parent stars, and observed that some of the stars seem to rock back and forth. They determined that this was caused by gravitational pull from orbiting planets.M: There is a powerful new telescope being built in Arizona. Will that help them see these planets?W: They should be but to see them at least at the form of small spot of light, and then the scientists will be able to break down and analyze this light. By doing this they hope to learn about the chemical composition of these planets, oxygen and ozone molecules, for example, would be tell-tale signs of life on these planets.M: I am looking forward to hearing more when the telescope is in operation. And I am sure our readers will be interested too.Questions:11) What is the purpose of this conversation?12) What is the conversation mainly about?13) How did the scientist establish the existence of the planets?14) According to the professor what might the scientists learn about the planets by using the new telescope?Questions 15 to 18 are based on the following talk.I am Frank. I am having some trouble with chemistry this year. It’s hard. The teacher acts like we are so smart that we ought to have no trouble learning it. I find the text book confusing and then I get discouraged. I can’t make sense of what the teacher saying in class.Well, some of us got together and formed the study group. It seems to work OK most of the time. We compare notes and then go over the discussion questions in each chapter. The only problem is that sometimes one of my friends will come to the study group unprepared. He will forget his notes or he won’t have read the book before hand. That really bothers me. I guess those guys who don’t prepare are going to have a h ard time in the final exam. Questions:15) Which of the following subjects is Frank having trouble with?16) Which of the following statements is not true as regards Frank’s difficulty with the subject?17) What’s the learning strategy Frank and his cl assmates are using?18) Which of the following statements is not true according to Frank?Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following 2 talks.M: I am Michael. I am trying to learn this new computer program at school. It’s kind of embarrassing. Most o f the other kids have already picked it up and I just can’t get it. There is this soft ware manual at school. I borrowed the book and took it home to read, but it didn’t seem to help. There were simply too much information for me to remember. My problem is that I don’t have enough time to sit down and learn it properly. I am not sure what to do next. W: I am Sonia. I am going to France next summer. So I want to learn as much French as I can. So I started taking a French class at the local community center. Well, the great thing is that the class is free. The problem is it’s not very easy. Well, you see it’s supposed to be a beginning level class. No way, I am telling you most of the people in there, they already know how to speak French when they started the class. They can say basic conversational phrases, and they know how to pronounce the words. I am a complete beginner. I did not know one word of French when I started this class. So I always feel lost even from day one I had no idea what was going on. Now the teacher is nice, but he is not very good. He gets off the topic and he will get stock on some tiny little point for like half an hour at time. But, you know, I really shouldn’t complain it at all, because this class is free.Questions:19) What is Michael trying to learn?20) Michael admits he had some problems. Which of the following is not one of the problems he mentions in his talk?21) Why is Sonia starting to learn French?22) Sonia mentions several problems for the French class she is attending. Which of the following is not one of these problems?Questions 23 to 30 are based on the following conversation.M: Hey, Louisiana/Rosana, over here!W: Hi, Mike. How are you? Been waiting long?M: No, not at all. Have a seat.W: Oh, it’s great to see you.M: Same here. So how is the new apartment working out?W: Good! Good! I like it. The neighborhood though is …M: Oh, what’s the matter?W: Well, there is real graffiti problem. Some of the buildings down the street are covered with it, and it looks terrible.M: I know what you mean. My neighborhood is the same way. I think we need to report people who are writing the graffiti to the police.W: Yeah, that would really help, except I never see them doing it.M: Well. Other than that how is the new neighborhood?W: Well, I like all the stores. It’s convenient for shopping. And it’s pretty quiet at night. That’s definitely a plus.M: Sounds like you are pretty satisfied.W: Yeah, I guess so. The only other problem is that it’s impossible to find parking. I have to drive around to block 6 or 7 times to find the space. Usually I can find one. But sometimes I have to park really far away.M: Well, is there any way you can rent space in the garage?W: Yeah, that’s a good idea. I am thinking ab out doing just that. So how are things in your neighborhoods?M: Well, there is a bit of noise problem where I live. I live down the street from a school. The bell rings every morning at 7:30. It’s impossible to sleep in.W: Oh, what a drag!M: Yeah. And when the school lets out kids are really noisy. I mean they are nice kids, just loud.W: Well, I don’t know what you could do about that situation.M: Yeah, there is really nothing I could do, I guess. I just have to live with it. I don’t know. Questions:23) Where are Mike and Louisiana/Rosana?24) Rosana mentions that her neighborhood has several features to recommend. Which of the following does Rosana not mention?25) According to the conversation there is one real problem in both the woman’s ne ighborhood and the man’s. Which is that problem?27) What’s the other problem that Rosana mentions about her neighborhood?28) What’s the problem with Mike’s neighborhood?29) Which of the following things causes the problem?30) What can Mike do about that situation?Part C.

Following the rapid growth of modern industry and agriculture as well as the rise of coastal populations, a large volume of industrial, agricultural and domestic wastes have been discharged into the world’s seas, a large portion of which is not processed before discharge. This causes near-shore seawater to be over-saturated with organic matter. At the same time, expanding coastal development and the fishery industry has contributed to the problem.2.

The price of crude oil on the international market has climbed continuously, going beyond the record high of $55 per barrel in October. Although oil prices have fallen remarkably afterwards, the concern now is over the future of the energy market and the impact of oil prices on the world economy. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries concluded that world economic growth is the main reason for skyrocketing oil pric es. Other factors, like the unrest in Iraq, terrorist threats, natural disasters and supply concerns, have also affected oil prices to some extent.3. 两年前在蒙特雷，国际社会在“千年发展目标”（千年目标）的指导下，创立了促进经济增长和加快减贫工作的新型伙伴关系。

So what else is new? But in Japan that familiar aversion has reached alarming proportions. About 50,000 unhappy youngsters a year (out of a total school-age population of 20 million) suffer what Japanese behavioral experts call school phobia. School phobia is distinguished from other common childhood and adolescent psychological and emotional disorders by the patient’s reaction to, and fear of, the idea of going to school. Typically, it begins with fever, sweating, headaches, and diarrhoea; it oftenprogresses to complete physical inertia, depression, and even autism.A doctor on a house call found a thirteen-year-old Tokyo boy who had not been to school in more than a year. He lives in a darkened room, receiving his food through a slot under the door and lashing out violently at his parents if they came too close. Once the boy was placed in a psychiatric ward treatment, he again became an open, seemingly healthy youngster. When he was sent home, however, his symptoms returned, and he was never able to go back to school.School phobia can be cured, usually with tranquilizers and psychotherapy. Rehabilitation takes about two years. Yet victims who are put in clinics or mental wards often prefer to stay there. Their day is filled with activities like knitting, painting, music, free time, and sports. Nurses try to create a familiar environment in which the children can feel that they are taking a certain amount of responsibility for their lives and can find some sense of self-worth.The causes of school phobia are not precisely known. In a few severe cases brain disorders have been diagnosed. A more common factor may be the overprotective Japanese mother who, some psychiatrists say, leaves her children ill-prepared to face the real world. Many researchers point to the unrelenting pressures for success faced by both children and adults in Japan, where stress-related disorders of all sorts are common. In addition, the Japanese educational system is one of the world’s most rigid, suppressing a child’s individual creative and analytical development. Says Dr. Hitoshi Ishikawa, head of the department of psychosomatic medicine at Tokyo University, “The problem won’t be cured until Japanese society as a whole is cured of its deep-rooted social ills.”1. The author chooses to write about school phobia because .(A)it is something new in Japan.(B)Most children have developed the disease(C)Its symptoms are not easily perceptible(D)A n alarming proportion of Japanese children suffer from it2. Which of the following is the purpose of the second paragraph?(A)To show that school phobia can be cured.(B)To suggest a way to deal with school phobia.(C)To describe the cause of school phobia.(D)T o present a typical case of school phobia.3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A)School phobia, which is widespread in many countries, is no cause foralarm.(B)The problem of school phobia in Japan can not be solved unless it getsrid of its social evils.(C)Despite school phobia the Japanese educational system remains on ofthe best in the world.(D)U nrelenting pressures in the Japanese society contribute greatly tosuccess.4. From the last paragraph, we know that the causes of school phobia .(A)can be easily determined(B)are complex and manifold(C)lie exclusively in the Japanese educational system(D)o riginate from the Japanese way of bringing up children5. Th e world “unrelenting” in the last paragraph is closest in meaningto .(A) unreasoning (B) continuous(C) limitless (D) unpleasantQuestions 6~10I left hospital in a taxi on the tenth day with Octavia in my arms and Lydia by my side. I was excited at the thought of getting home and having my baby to myself, but the cold of the outside air must have startled her, for she began to scream and screech violently in the taxi, and when we got home I did not quite know what to do. In hospital she had always been so quiet and sweet. I laid her down in her basket, but the mattress was a different shape from the hospital cot, and she looked strange and uncomfortable and screamed all the more fiercely. She looked odd, too, in her own Viyella nighties, after the regulation garments she had worn all her life until that afternoon. She went on and on crying, and I began to think that she would never adapt to real life. Lydia was getting almost as worried as I was, and after a while she said, as we both sate miserably and watched this small furious person, “Why don’t you feed her? That would shut her up, wouldn’t it?”I looked at my watch; it was half past four.“It’s not time to feed her yet,” I said. “In hospital, we had to feed them on the dot at five.”“Oh,” said Lydia, “half an hour one way or the other can’t make much difference.”“Don’t you think so?” I said. “But then she’ll wake half an hour early at the next feed, and the next, and the next, and then what will I do?”“It wouldn’t matter, would it?”“I don’t know. I somehow feel thins would get all muddled and never get straight again. She was good and reasonable in hospital. And then she’ll get confused, and how will she ever know when it’s night time? How will she ever learn that it’s night?”“I should feed her,” said Lydia. “It looks to me as though she’s going to have a fit.”I didn’t think she would have a fit, but I couldn’t stand the sound of her crying, so I picked her out and fed her, and she became quiet at once, and fell asleep afterwards looking as though her mattress and nightdress were very comfortable after all. On the other hand, she did wake half an hour early at the next feed, and went on and on waking earlier, until we worked right back round the clock, for the truth was that she never went four hours but only three and a half. Looking back on it, it doesn’t seem to matter at all, but it seemed very important at the time. I remember. It took her ages, moreover, to learn about night and day, and in the end I concluded that they and been giving her secret bottles in the night at the hospital.However, on the whole, things worked out very well. I had a subsidized home help to begin with, and after a fortnight or so this woman whom Lydia had discovered, an amiable fat lady named Mrs Jennings, came in two days a week while dashed off to the library between feeds. Mrs Jennings adored babies, and I found that all her chat little darling tiny things, and where’s here little tootsie, fell quite naturally and indeed gratefully upon my ears.6. Octavia looked odd to her mother because .(A)the Viyella nighties were newly bought(B)her nightie was the wrong size(C)her clothes weren’t her usual ones(D)t he mattress was bigger than the one in the cot7. Why did Lydia suggest feeding the baby?(A)She found it was almost feeding time.(B)She obviously didn’t like the noise.(C)She could see Octavia was hungry.(D)S he believed it was better to feed her more.8. The mother didn’t want to feed the crying baby because the thought .(A)it was too early to feed her(B)the baby wanted to be fed at five(C)the baby couldn’t be hungry at the moment(D)i t would stop the baby sleeping at night9. The mother believed that in the hospital .(A)they had told her all the truth(B)they had confused the baby(C)the baby had been underfed at night(D)t here were things she hadn’t been told10. We learn from the passage that Mrs. Jennings .(A)first came in on a fortnight’s trial(B)helped the author with the baby(C)was found by Lydia in the library(D)w as not qualified for baby-sittingQuestions 11~15When the television is good, nothing—not the theatre, not the magazines, or newspapers—nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. In invite you to sit down it front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, or anything else to distract you and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audience-participation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, more violence, sadism, murder, Western badmen, Western goodmen, private eyes, gangster, still more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials that scream and cajole and offend. And most of all, boredom. True, you will see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, try it.Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs to deepen the children understatanding of children in other lands? Is there no room for a children’s news show explaining something about the world for them at their level of understanding？Is there no room of reading the great literature of the past, teaching them the great traditions of freedom?There are some fine children’s shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your conscience and see whether you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guard so many hours each and every day.There are many people in this great country, and you must serve all of us.You will get no argument from me if you say that, given a choice between a Western and a symphony, more people will watch the Western. I like Westerns and private eyes, too—but a steady diet for the whole country is obviously not in the public interest. We all know that people would more often prefer to be entertained than stimulated or informed. But your obligations are not satisfied if you look only to popularity as a test of what to broadcast. You are not only in show business; you are free to communicate ideas as well as to give relaxation. You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation’s whims—you must also serve the nation’s needs. The people own the air. They own it as much in prime evening time as they do at six o’clock in the morning. For every hour that the people give you—you owe them something. I intend to see that your debt is paid with service.11.

The passage is most probably part of .(A) a scientific report (B) a newspaper editorial(C) a public speech (D) an academic paperQuestions 16~20With rapid growth identified as the most pressing of global population problems, the scene shifts immediately to villages in rural Kenya or urban slums in Karaas or bedrooms in Sedale where couples are making decisions about their reproductive behavior. Unlike other global issues which can be shaped directly by the actions of national and international power brokers, resolution of the problems posed by the magnitude and pace of contemporary population growth in the world ultimately depends upon the actions and behavior of a very large number of individual actors. Rapid population growth is the direct result of regular decistions made in private by literally many millions of persons throughout the world.Hence, we are all actors in the population drama. Each of us has thepotential to aggravate the problem of rapid growth just as each of us can change the distribution of populations simply by moving. Population trends therefore represent nothing more than the combined decisions of many individuals, couples, and families. And, because these decisions are shaped and conditioned by commonly held values, goals, and aspirations, there are patterns to them and the actors appear to follow the broad outlines of a script.It is then evident that efforts to decrease the rate of population growth must eventually influence the decisions and behavior of many millions of couples if they are to be successful. Values and attitudes—the script that guides this behavior—must be a altered. To be even more specific, it means that couples, overwhelmingly poor and predominantly rural, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America where population growth is so high, must choose to limit the number of their children to fewer than three and must have the means to accomplish their goal. Similarly, couples in Europe, North America, and other low-fertility regions must continue to maintain their present patterns of having small families. Each couple must stick to its decision for some twenty to thirty years, or throughout their reproductive life span. In the economically less-developed world, this decision will be one that stands in stark contrast to those made by their parents and to the weight of cultural tradition.16. It can be concluded from the passage that .(A)large families may be considered as a heavy burden by the rural poor(B)the actions of national and international power brokers have animportant effect upon the decision made by the rural poor(C)the actions of those with the highest fertility, the rural poor, ultimatelydetermine the rate of population growth(D)h aving large families had more advantages than disadvantages in thosepoor areas17. The word “aggravate” (para 2) is closest in meaning to “”.(A) make clear (B) encounter(C) settle (D) make serious18. According to the author, the most effective way to decrease the rate ofpopulation growth is .(A)by making it a national policy that each couple must not give birth tomore than three children(B)by exerting more international pressure upon those high-fertility regions(C)by modifying the widely held values which guide the actions of manyindividuals and couples(D)b y providing the rural poor with means for limiting the family size19. It is obvious that the author of the passage .(A)shows indifference to the situation in the developed countries(B)is very concerned about global population problems(C)feels confident that the problem of population growth can be soonresolved(D)i s pessimistic about the future of those high-fertility20. The author has written the passage mainly for .(A) general readers (B) power brokers(C) economists (D) decision makersQuestions 21~25Sixty percent of all ethnic minorities in Britain live in London. Ethnicminorities only make up a small fraction of Britain’s population as a whole, but coming to London you could quite easily be mistaken for thinking there were many more. I have taken this for granted having grown up with this fantastic diversity of culture, background and influence. I have people all around me who talk with varying accents, speak different languages, share distinct foods and celebrate special festivals. However, London is far from being without its racial problems.The Campaign Against Racism and Fascism (CARF), a London based group, tells me that there is little doubt that, with the massive upsurge of xenophobia against asylum-seekers too, the fallout is affecting anyone perceived to be foreign or different. Recent attacks on black people have a ferocity that appalls police and community organizers a like. On March 4th this year, a 19-year-old Sudanese student, unconcernedly chatting to his white friend on a bus traveling through Wardsworth in south London, was suddenly stabbed in the stomach three times by a white youth brandishing a knife.Police investigations on this and other racist attacks have left many doubting the police’s supposed commitment to tackling r acial crime. Some say it has all been talk about target indicators with few results on the ground. But on March 24th this year, the Met. Police’s Racial and Violent Crimes T ask Force, drawing on the slow, painstaking intelligence on racial harassment gathered by their 32 Community Safety Units, carried out its first large-scale operation. In dawn raids on homes in all over London, one hundred people were arrested for offenses including racially aggravated criminal damage, grievous bodily harm, distributing racist literature and threats to kill. Over thirty people have been charged with racial offenses.Every year on our August public holiday, London, especially Notting Hill, comes alive for the Carnival. This celebration of variety, difference and the end of slavery—where I have seen people of all backgrounds, mixing, laughing and dancing together—is, I hope, the future of inter-racial relations in London. 20.The word “this” in “I have taken this for granted” (para. 1) refers to which ofthe following?(A) Sixty percent of all ethnic minorities in UK live in London.(B) Minorities only constitute a small part of UK’s population.(C) There are more minority people in Britain than it appears.(E)It is unwise for many more to come to London.21. The killing of the Sudanese student is to illustrate .(A)the brutality of attacks on black people(B)the fallout affecting anyone in poverty(C)the traffic problems in south London(D)t he unconcerned attitude of police23. The word “xenophobia” (para. 2) means “.”(A) partiality (B) arbitariness(C) discrimination (D) antipathy24. The word “intelligence” (para. 3) is closest in meaning to “.”(A) mentality (B) aptitude(C) information (D) interpretation25. What is the main topic of this passage?(A)The increasing rate of crime in London.(B)The center of England’s cultural diversity.(C)The people’s criticism of London police.。
上海中级口译考试全攻略
上海中级口译考试全攻略上海中级口译考试全攻略（笔试+口试）两周前风尘仆仆地考完中级口译，常有人问我考得怎么样。
我的答复总是：美女很多+非常紧张。
在参加考试之前，我常听到两种说法：中级口译太简单了，根本是没用的证，不如去考高口；中级口译太难了，只有高手才能拿到证。
这两种说法都没错，对不同英语程度的人来说，中级口译的地位也不尽相同。
我当初想到考中级口译并不是为了那一纸证书，因为我对于口译兴趣很小。
想到报名完全是为了提高听力。
上海交大去年做的一项调查显示，65%的同学认为经过口译训练，听力水平得到了大幅提高。
当时我在《外国语》上看到这篇论文，立刻想到通过中级口译提高我可怜的听力。
复习之后我还发现，口译对拓宽词汇量尤其是生活词汇作用巨大。
下面我就来谈谈怎么准备中级口译。
首先你需要买中级口译的教材，一共五本通过笔试。
一旦通过笔试，你就获得了接下来四次参加口试的机会（即两年有效期），我推荐在9月参加笔试，因为暑假时间较多，而寒假有春节的干扰，复习不充分，很多人都会放弃3月的考试。
下面我简要介绍一下中级口译的考试内容及复习方法。
笔试部分共三部分，即听力、阅读和笔译。
听力占90分，包含听写填空，段对话及长对话，听译。
听写填空，英文叫spot dictitation, 给400词左右的文章，抠去20个空，每个空需要填进去1~4个单词，文章只读一遍。
这部分最重要的就是练习和预测了。
反复的练习能够迅速提高正确率，而做这一题型的技巧就是预测。
拿到一份试题，迅速阅读这篇文章，预测每一个空的词性和含义，最容易做错或漏听的是两个空格靠得很近的时候以及空格在一行行首的时候，在这时就要提前标出这些空，重点关注。
短对话和长对话也很容易短期提高。
这部分只有选项没有问题，每一段对话只读一遍，结束的时候会在录音中给出问题，我做这一题的经验就是：记笔记。
当然，录音开始之前可以根据选项预测对话内容，然后在听的过程中尽量记下讯息（尤其是与选项有关的问题），在自己复习的过程中，可以总结对话类型，比如有“男生死都会去”类型（即男生怎么样都会不学习出去玩），还有“女生死都不会去”类型（即女生怎么样都不会不学习）……听译是很多人头痛的部分。

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--ST3
上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--ST3Sample test 3.Part A. Spot dictation. Directions: 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 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.OK. Making a presentation is often the source of anxiety for people. They usually ranked it as one of things they least wanted to do. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some tips to make your next presentation go more smoothly. First, it’s very important to analyze the situation. Think about your audience. What do they want to know? What do you want to accomplish? What is the most effective way to get your ideas across in the time that you have? Once you figure that out, you’re ready for step 2, preparation. Make an outline of your key objectives. This will help you shape a clear presentation. You want to begin with an introduction. Go on to cover your main points and then end with a conclusion. Remember to be clear and simple. T oo many details will confuse and bore your audience. The third step is practice. One of the best ways to eliminate anxiety is to spend time knowing your material. Reread it and practice speaking in front of a mirror or another person. You could also tape yourself and play it back to see how you can improve. Practice will make you more confident. The delivery of your presentation is the fourth important step. Concentrate on maintaining good gesture, speaking clearly and slowly, and making eye contact with your audience. Beginning your presentation with an anecdote or a funny story is a good way to make that initial contact with youraudience. Remember to smile. Finally, it’s a good idea to use visual aids. They are very effective methods of conveying your ideas. And keep them simple and easy to read. Charts, slides, videos or hand-outs, all of these can be effective tools when used properly. Make sure you are prepared, and know how to use any equipment ahead of time. By following these 5 steps you should be able to enjoy your next presentation. Don’t dread it. Part B. Listening comprehension.1. Statements. Directions: 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.1) Good news! I am not going to need any surgery after all. The doctor says that I can start working out again soon.2) I have to fill out these forms now. They are due at the financial aid office by tomorrow afternoon.3) I feel horrible. Jane was furious that I lost her notes. But I will let her cool off a few days before I talk to her.4) Last Monday when I was at doctor Smith’s office I spend over an hour in the waiting room. Something must have come up that day.5) About the concert tonight it’s unlikely I will be able to pick you up before 7. What about just getting together there?6) I didn’t even read the text book, but I still manage to get an A on the test. Now you know why I never miss the lecture.7) I am going to be at a lecture in the auditorium most of thismorning. And you know what the air-conditioning is like there. That’s why I am wearing this sweater.8) Did you go to the concert th e other day? It’s set a record for attendance. There wasn’t an empty seat in the house.9) The state ballet is coming to town next weekend and I just happen to have one ticket, but I got some sort of conflict in my schedule.10) How much longer should I boil these vegetables? They looked pretty done to me. The recipe says it needs only about 10 minutes total.2. Talks and conversations. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short talks and conversations. After each of these you will hear a few questions. Listen carefully because you will hear the talk or conversation and the questions only once. When you hear a question read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet.W: For the first time ever the scientific community has established the existence of planets outside their own solar system. Of course we knew that certain distance stars existed, but only recently did we learn that several of them are orbited by their own planets.M: Why did it take so long to locate these planets?W: You have to understand that they are a billion times dimmer than their parent stars. It will be like trying to see the light of a candle next to a huge explosion. We don't currently have a telescope that can be used to see them.M: But if the astronomers didn’t see the planets through a telescope how did they find them? W: By a very indirect method.The astronomers measured subtle distortions in the frequency of light from the parent stars, and observed that some of the stars seem to rock back and forth. They determined that this was caused by gravitational pull from orbiting planets.M: There is a powerful new telescope being built in Arizona. Will that help them see these planets?W: They should be but to see them at least at the form of small spot of light, and then the scientists will be able to break down and analyze this light. By doing this they hope to learn about the chemical composition of these planets, oxygen and ozone molecules, for example, would be tell-tale signs of life on these planets.M: I am looking forward to hearing more when the telescope is in operation. And I am sure our readers will be interested too.Questions:11) What is the purpose of this conversation?12) What is the conversation mainly about?13) How did the scientist establish the existence of the planets?14) According to the professor what might the scientists learn about the planets by using the new telescope?Questions 15 to 18 are based on the following talk.I am Frank. I am having some trouble with chemistry this year. It’s hard. The teacher acts like we are so smart that we ought to have no trouble learning it. I find the text book confusing and then I get discouraged. I can’t make sense of what the teacher saying in class.Well, some of us got together and formed the study group. It seems to work OK most of the time. We compare notes and then go over the discussion questions in each chapter. The onlyproblem is that sometimes one of my friends will come to the study group unprepared. He will forget his notes or he won’t have read the book before hand. That really bothers me. I guess those guys who don’t prepare are going to have a h ard time in the final exam. Questions:15) Which of the following subjects is Frank having trouble with?16) Which of the following statements is not true as regards Frank’s difficulty with the subject?17) What’s the learning strategy Frank and his cl assmates are using?18) Which of the following statements is not true according to Frank?Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following 2 talks.M: I am Michael. I am trying to learn this new computer program at school. It’s kind of embarrassing. Most o f the other kids have already picked it up and I just can’t get it. There is this soft ware manual at school. I borrowed the book and took it home to read, but it didn’t seem to help. There were simply too much information for me to remember. My problem is that I don’t have enough time to sit down and learn it properly. I am not sure what to do next. W: I am Sonia. I am going to France next summer. So I want to learn as much French as I can. So I started taking a French class at the local community center. Well, the great thing is that the class is free. The problem is it’s not very easy. Well, you see it’s supposed to be a beginning level class. No way, I am telling you most of the people in there, they already know how to speak French when they started the class. They can say basic conversational phrases, and they know how to pronounce the words. I am a complete beginner. I did notknow one word of French when I started this class. So I always feel lost even from day one I had no idea what was going on. Now the teacher is nice, but he is not very good. He gets off the topic and he will get stock on some tiny little point for like half an hour at time. But, you know, I really should n’t complain it at all, because this class is free.Questions:19) What is Michael trying to learn?20) Michael admits he had some problems. Which of the following is not one of the problems he mentions in his talk?21) Why is Sonia starting to learn French?22) Sonia mentions several problems for the French class she is attending. Which of the following is not one of these problems?Questions 23 to 30 are based on the following conversation.M: Hey, Louisiana/Rosana, over here!W: Hi, Mike. How are you? Been waiting long?M: No, not at all. Have a seat.W: Oh, it’s great to see you.M: Same here. So how is the new apartment working out?W: Good! Good! I like it. The neighborhood though is …M: Oh, what’s the matter?W: Well, there is real graffiti problem. Some of the buildings down the street are covered with it, and it looks terrible.M: I know what you mean. My neighborhood is the same way.I think we need to report people who are writing the graffiti to the police.W: Yeah, that would really help, except I never see them doing it.M: Well. Other than that how is the new neighborhood?W: Well, I like all the stores. It’s convenient for shopping.And it’s pretty quiet at night. That’s definitely a plus.M: Sounds like you are pretty satisfied.W: Yeah, I gu ess so. The only other problem is that it’s impossible to find parking. I have to drive around to block 6 or 7 times to find the space. Usually I can find one. But sometimes I have to park really far away.M: Well, is there any way you can rent space in the garage?W: Yeah, that’s a good idea. I am thinking ab out doing just that. So how are things in your neighborhoods?M: Well, there is a bit of noise problem where I live. I live down the street from a school. The bell rings every morning at 7:30. It’s im possible to sleep in.W: Oh, what a drag!M: Yeah. And when the school lets out kids are really noisy. I mean they are nice kids, just loud.W: Well, I don’t know what you could do about that situation.M: Yeah, there is really nothing I could do, I guess. I just have to live with it. I don’t know. Questions:23) Where are Mike and Louisiana/Rosana?24) Rosana mentions that her neighborhood has several features to recommend. Which of the following does Rosana not mention?25) According to the conversation there is one real problem in both the woman’s ne ighborhood and the man’s. Which is that problem?27) What’s the other problem that Rosana mentions about her neighborhood?28) What’s the problem with Mike’s neighborhood?29) Which of the following things causes the problem?30) What can Mike do about that situation?Part C. Listening and translation.1. Sentence translation. Directions: Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.1) The internet is used by millions of people, which means that it is becoming a good way for companies to advertize and sell products.2) You should try out different kinds of food, within a few months you will have acquired a taste for many of the regional specialties.3) If I had been able to predict the future 2 years ago, I could have made a fortune for my stock investments.4) We carry over 30,000,000 passengers a year, and we fly to 41 destinations in 25 foreign countries. We are going to purchase new planes next year.5) The next item on the agenda is the new Spanish sales organization, as you know, we are going to open the new sales markets in March.2. Passage translation. Directions: Listen and translate each passage you have heard intoChinese. Then write it in the space given below. You may take notes while you are listening.1) Well, I have my own small business. I think all business owners especially small business owners have to be pretty creative. We have to do everything. I do the work, answer the phones, take care of the accounting, you know, there are so many potential problems and there is no one else to turn to. I mean I can’t ask my boss for help, I am the boss. The hardest part is figuring out how to identify your customers. Who are they?Where are they? How can you get to them?2) I am a n interior designer. So what I do is going to people’s homes and create a suitable environment for them. You know, my clients, they don’t know what they want. So I have to look at their homes and decide what will look best. Not every idea works in every home. You have to match the appropriate idea with the right place. After I come up with an idea I present it to my clients. Sometimes they don’t like my first idea, you have to start all over again.。
