2015年考研英语(一)真题深度解析——阅读Text1[精心整理]
![2015年考研英语(一)真题深度解析——阅读Text1[精心整理]](https://img.taocdn.com/s3/m/e5849a9603d276a20029bd64783e0912a2167c9f.png)
002015年考研英语(一)真题深度解析——阅读Text102015年这篇阅读文章的选择依然延续了考研英语选材的一贯做法,选自2014年6月4日《卫报》上一篇名为Is the writing on the wall for all European royals?(所有欧洲皇室注定要失败吗?)的文章。
主要讨论了西班牙胡安·卡洛斯国王退位这一事件对欧洲诸多皇室的影响,尤其是对英国皇室的影响。
总体来说,作为今年阅读题型的第一篇,文章在内容上难度稍大,尤其是里面涉及到了一些人名、地名的专有名词以及非常地道的英式习语表达等等。
但是,如果纯就题目来说的话,难度倒不是很大,答案的出处也比较容易找到。
接下来就文章具体的题目来进行深入的解析。
021、According to the first two paragraphs, King Juan Carl of Spain0[A] used to enjoy high public support0[B] was unpopular among European royals00[C] ended his reign in embarrassment00[D] cased his relationship with his rivals0答案:[C] ended his reign in embarrassment00解析:题目中明确提到答案的范围是在前面两段,而关键词又是King Juan Carl of Spain,那么根据关键词可以主要定位到第一段。
在第一段中,对于King Juan Carl of Spain这个人的主要描述就是King Juan Carlos of Spain once insisted kings don’t abdicate, they die in their sleep. But embarrassing scandals and the popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down.0根据题目所给的四个选项,可以发现C项ended his reign in embarrassment(在窘迫中结束了他的统治)正好讲的就是第二句话的内容:But embarrassing scandals and the popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down.(但是令人窘迫的丑闻以及在最近欧洲选举中所呈现的共和制的盛行都迫使他食言而退位。

2015年武汉大学翻译硕士MTI考研真题解析

2015年武汉大学翻译硕士MTI考研真题解析Shanghai Free Trade Area,bank balance,host university,current account,cash drain,National City Bank of New York,general consulatepay by installment,OPEC,埃博拉病毒,丝路基金,失联,微信,海外追逃,反垄断调查,权力寻租腐败,潜规则,苏格兰独立公投,亚太自贸区,食品安全,科研经费,依法治国,反恐情报中心,段落翻译E–C关于文学作品的作用和意义;C–E是于季羡林的,主要意思是说季羡林为人处事十分认真,然后举了一个例子说他如何认真负责,全文到处都是“季老”,还提到了萧乾。
总的来说,两篇都是文学翻译,特别是中翻英不好翻,很多词汇不知道怎么翻比较好,只能自己发挥,往年喜欢考的《秘密花园》《青鸟》都没有考,悲!1、考试准备的时间问题对于专业课的复习时间没有一个具体的指标,对于专业课基础较好的同学,专业课的复习时间可能会短些,而对于那些基础弱的同学,尤其是跨专业考试的同学,专业课的复习时间必然要长些,但是不管怎么样,每个学科必定是需要一段时间才能掌握透彻,但是在短时间内,经过高强度的复习和科学的指导,也可以取得很好的成绩。
一般而言,专业课复习最好能保留有3个月的复习时间。
2、考试资料的选择不同的学校,考试难度和风格不一样,所以考试的资料难以统一,但是有一些基本的教材,可以由浅入深地引导同学们了解和掌握经济学的基础知识。
这样,复习起来就会事倍功半,比较有效率。
由于目前国内研究生考试的难度水平大致还是处于中初级水平,因此基本上还是可以列出一个有效的资料清单:(1) 报考学校的指定书目(必备)(2) 历年的考试题目历年题是专业课的关键,而融会贯通则是关键中的关键。
考研的专业课考题大体有两种类型,一种是认知性质的考题,另一种是理解与应用型的,而且以后一种居多。

What wide reading teaches is the richness, the complexity, the mystery of life. In the wider and longer view, I have come to believe, there is something deeply apolitical—something above politics—in literature, despite what feminist, Marxist, and other politicized literary critics may think. If at the end of a long life of reading the chief message you bring away is that women have had it lousy, or that capitalism stinks, or that attention must above all be paid to victims, then I'd say youjust might have missed something crucial. Too bad, for there probably isn't time to go back to re-read your lifetime's allotment of five thousand or so books.People who have read with love and respect understand that the larger message behind all books, great and good and even some not so good as they might be, is, finally, cultivate your sensibility so that you may trust your heart. The charmingly ironic point of vast reading, at least as I have come to understand it, is to distrust much of one's education. Unfortunately, the only way to know this is first to become educated, just as the only way properly to despise success is first to achieve it.汉译英32 说起季羡林先生的认真,那是出了名的。
2015年武汉大学考博《英语》真题及标准答案

2015年武汉大学考博《英语》真题(总分:100.00,做题时间:90分钟)一、 Reading Comprehension(总题数:5,分数:40.00)Justice in society must include both a fair trial to the accused and the selection of an appropriate punishment for those proven guilty. Because justice is regarded as one form of equality, we find in its earlier expressions the idea of a punishment equal to the crime. Recorded in the Old Testament is the expression: " an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. " That is, the individual who has done wrong has committed an offence against society. To make up for his offence, society must get even. This can be done only by doing an equal injury to him. This conception of retributive justice is refleeted in many parts of the legal documents and procedures of modern times. It is illustrated when we demand the death penalty for a person who had committed murder. This philosophy of punishment was supported by the German idealist Hegel. He believed that society owed it to the criminal to give a punishment equal to the crime he had committed. The criminal had by his own actions denied his true self and it is necessary to do something that will counteract this denial and restore the self that has been denied. To the murderer nothing less than giving up his own will pay his debt. The demand of the death penalty is a right the state owes the criminal and it should not deny him his due. Modern jurists have tried to replace retributive justice with the notion of corrective justice. The aim of the latter is not to abandon the concept of equality but to find a more adequate way to express it. It tries to preserve the idea of equal opportunity for each individual to realize me best that is in him. The criminal is regarded as being socially ill and in need of treatment that will enable him to become a normal member of society. Before a treatment can be administered, the course of his antisocial behavior must be found. If the cause can be removed, provisions must be made to have this done. Only those criminals who are incurable should be permanently separated from the rest of the society. This does not mean that criminals will escape punishment or be quickly returned to take up careers of crime. It means that justice is to heal the individual, not simply to get even with him. If severe punishment is the only adequate means for accompanying this, it should be administered. However, the individual should be given every opportunity to assume a normal place in society. His conviction of crime must not deprive him of the opportunity to make his way in the society of which he is a part.(分数:8.00)(1).The best title for this passage in______.(分数:2.00)A.Fitting Punishment to the CrimeB.Approaches to Just Punishment √C.Improvement in Legal JusticeD.Attaining Justice in the Courts【解析】本题为主旨题。

In March of 1970, Jame Roe, asingle woman, instituted this federal action against the District attorney of the county. The original idea was that women who truly didnot want a baby should not have to have it. __41__Since pregnancy may be a blessed act when planned or wanted, __42__ forced pregnancy, like any forced bodily invasion, is anathema to American values and traditions. As legalized abortion has become an everyday part of American life, a different side to it has emerged out. __43__ Where women once were aborting because they did not want a child, the reasons being given now were becoming very different. __44__ Abortion has turned into something that women are being coerced from boyfriends/husbands unwilling to be fathers, out of fear __45__of the financial pressure, out of panic from losing their jobs, out ofpanic from having to quit the school, or becoming homeless, or out__46__ of fear of their parents kicking them out into the street.Abortion for these reasons can lead to problems which developwhen a woman is unable to get round her emotional responses resul- __47__ ting from the trauma of an abortion. There are women who abort anddo so completely of her own free will. These women have no regrets, __48__ no remorse, but are happy they had this choice available. But __49__a growing number of women are speaking up about how abortioneffected them adversely. __50__第41题第42题第43题第44题第45题第46题第47题第48题第49题第50题上一题下一题(51~55/共30题)Reading ComprehensionReading ComprehensionIn developing a model of cognition, we must recognize that perception of the external world does not always remain independent of motivation. While progress toward maturity is positively correlated with differentiation between motivation and cognition, tension will, even in the mature adult, militate towards a narrowing of the range of perception and in the lessening of the objectivity of perception.Cognition can be seen as the first step in the sequence of events leading from the external stimulus to the behavior of the individual. The child develops from belief that all things are an extension of its own body to the recognition that objects exist independent of his perception. He begins to demonstrate awareness of people and things which are removed from his sensory apparatus and initiates goal directed behaviors. He may, however, refuse to recognize the existence of barriers to the attainment of his goals, despite the fact that his cognition of these objects has been previously demonstrated.In the primitive being, goal-directed behavior can be very simply motivated. The presence of an attractive object will cause an infant to reach for it; its removal will result in the cessation of that action. Studies have shown no evidence of the infant´s frustration; rather, it appears that the infant ceases to desire the object when he cannot see it. Further indications are that the infant´s attention to the attractive object increases as a result of its not being in his grasp. In fact, if he holds a toy and another is presented, he is likely to drop the first in order to clutch the second. Often, once he has the one desired in his hands, he loses attention and turns to something else.In adult life, mere cognition can be similarly motivational, although the visible presence of the opportunity is not required as the instigator of response. The mature adult modifies his reaction by obtaining information, interpreting it, and examining consequences. He formulates a hypothesis and attempts to test it. He searches out implicit relationships, examines all factors, and differentiates among them. Just as the trained artist can separate the values of colour, composition, and technique , while taking in and evaluating the whole work, so, too, the mature person brings his cognitive learning strengths to bear in appraising a situation.Understanding that cognition is separate from action, his reactions are only minimally guided from conditioning, and take into consideration anticipatable events.The impact of the socialization process, particularly which of parental and social group ideology , may reduce cognitively directed behavior. The tension thus produced, as for instance the stress of fear, anger, or extreme emotion, will often be the overriding influence.The evolutionary process of development from body schema through to cognitive learning is similarly manifested in the process of language acquisition. Auditing and speaking develop first, reading and writing much later on. Not only is this evident in the development of the individualhuman being from infancy on, but also in the development of language for humankind.Every normal infant has the physiological equipment necessary to produce sound, but the child must first master their use for sucking, biting, and chewing before he can control his equipment for use in producing the sounds of language. The babble and chatter of the infant are precursors to intelligible vocal communication.From the earliest times, it is clear that language and human thought have been intimately connected. Sending or receiving messages, from primitive warnings of danger to explaining creative or reflective thinking, this aspect of cognitive development is also firmly linked to the needs and aspirations of society.第51题It can be inferred from this passage that the author would support the attitude towards art appreciation that______.A.a work of art should not be analyzedB.analysis of a work of art makes for greater understanding of itC.understanding the life of the artist helps us to understand his workD.all mature people can understand art equally well第52题The statement which is neither implied nor stated in this passage is______.A.The child is concerned only with his own bodyB.The child learns to act in a way that will serve his desiresC.The infant´s attention can be distracted from an object by simply concealing itD.The infant finds it difficult to focus attention on more than one object at a time第53题It may be inferred from the passage that the effects of society on learning may be______.A.to enhance the individual´s motivation to learn as quickly as possibleB.too deter learning by reason of anxiety about possible conflict with ideologyC.to bring man´s knowledge within the scope of allD.to keep all learning at the same stage of development第54题The passage implies that______.A.speech is acquired through direct teachingB.the infant should be taught not to babbleC.infants who do not chatter will never learn to speakD.infants are born with the ability to speak but the ability to do so depends upon development of physical functions through non-verbal activities第55题It would appear from the passage that it would be useful for the parent of the newborn to______.A.give the infant what he needs before he criesB.teach the infant how to speak as quickly as possibleC.model speech sounds and encourage the infant to produce themD.refuse the infant´s demands until he makes them clear上一题下一题(56~60/共30题)Reading ComprehensionIn a reaction against a too-rigid, overrefined classical curriculum, some educational philosophers have swung sharply to an espousal of "life experience" as the sole source of learning. Using their narrow interpretation of John Dewey´s theories as a base for support, they conclude that only through "doing" can learning take place. Spouting such phrases as, "Teach the child, not the subject. " they demand, without sensing its absurdity, and end to rigorous study as a means of opening the way to learning. While not all adherents to this approach would totally eliminate a study of great books, the influence of this philosophy has been felt in the public school curricula, as evidenced by the gradual subordination of great literature.What is the purpose of literature? Why read, if life alone is to be our teacher? James Joyce states that the artist reveals the human situation by recreating life out of life; Aristotle that art presents universal truths because its form is taken from nature. Thus, consciously or otherwise, the great writer reveals the human situation most tellingly, extending our understanding of ourselves and our world.We can soar with the writer to the heights of man´s aspirations, or plummet with him to tragic despair. The works of Steinbeck, Anderson, and Salinger; the poetry of Whitman, Sandburg, and Frost; the plays of Ibsen, Miller, and O´Neil: all present starkly realistic portrayals of life´s problems. Reality? Yes! But how much wider is the understanding we gain than that attained by viewing life through the keyhole of our single existence.Can we measure the richness gained by the young reader venturing down the Mississippi with Tom and Huck, or cheering Ivanhoe as he battles the Black Knight; the deepening understanding of the mature reader of the tragic South of William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams, of the awesome determination-and frailty-of Patrick White´s Australian pioneers?This function of literature, the enlarging of our own life sphere, is of itself of major importance. Additionally, however, it has been suggested that solutions of social problems may be suggested in the study of literature. The overweening ambitions of political leaders-and their sneering contempt for the law-did not appear for the first time in the writings of Bernstein and Woodward; the problems, and the consequent actions, of the guilt-ridden did not await the appearance of the bearded psychoanalyst of the twentieth century.Federal Judge Learned Hand has written, " I venture to believe that it is as important to a judge called upon to pass on a question of constitutional law, to have at least a bowing acquaintance with Thucydides, Gibbon, and Carlyle, with Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, and Milton, with Montaigne and Rabelais, with Plato, Bacon, Hume, and Kant, as with the books which have been specifically written on the subject. For in such matters everything turns upon the spirit in which he approaches the questions before him. "But what of our dissenters? Can we overcome the disapproval of their " life experience classroom" theory of learning? We must start with the field of agreement-that education should serve to improve the individual and society. We must educate them to the understanding that the voice of human experience should stretch our human faculties, and opens us to learning. We must convince them-in their own personal language perhaps-of the " togetherness" of life and art; we must prove to them that far from being separate, literature is that part of life which illumines life.第56题According to the passage, the end goal of great literature is______.A.the recounting of dramatic and exciting stories, and the creation of charactersB.to create anew a synthesis of life that illumines the human conditionC.the teaching of morality and ethical behaviorD.to write about tragedy and despair第57题In the author´s opinion, as seen in this passage one outcome of the influence of the " life experience" adherents has been______.A.the gradual subordination of the study of great literature in the schoolsB.a narrowed interpretation of the theories of John DeweyC.a sharp swing over to "learning through doing"D.an end to rigorous study as a way of learning第58题As the author sees it, one of the most important gains from the study of great literature is______.A.enrichment of our understanding of the pastB.broadening of our approaches to social problemsC.that it gives us a bowing acquaintance with great figures of the pastD.that it provides us with vicarious experiences which provide a much broader experience than we can get from experiences of simply our own lives alone第59题The author´s purpose in this passage is to______.A.list those writers who make up the back bone of a great literature curriculumpare the young reader´s experience with literature to that of the mature readerC.advocate the adoption of the "life experience" approach to teachingD.plead for the retention of great literature as a fundamental part of the curriculum第60题The author´s reason for quoting Judge Hand is to______.A.call attention to the writing of Thucydides and CarlyleB.support the thesis of the author that literature broadens our understanding and stretches our facultiesC.point out that constitutional law is a part of the great literature of our pastD.show that everyone, including judges, enjoys reading上一题下一题(61~65/共30题)Reading ComprehensionIt has always been difficult for the philosopher or scientist to fit time into his view of the universe. Prior to Einsteinian physics, there was no truly adequate formulation of the relationship of time to the other forces in the universe, even though some empirical equations included time quantities. However, even the Einsteinian formulation is not perhaps totally adequate to the job of fitting time into the proper relationship with the other dimensions, as they are called, of space. The primary problem arises in relation to things which might be going faster than the speed of light, or have other strange properties.Examination of the Lorentz-Fitzgerald formulas yields the interesting speculation that if something did actually exceed the speed of light it would have its mass expressed as an imaginary number and would seem to be going backwards in time. The barrier to exceeding the speed of light is the apparent need to have an infinite quantity of mass moved at exactly thespeed of light. If this situation could be leaped over in a large quantum jump-which seems highly unlikely for masses that are large in normal circumstances-then the other side may be achievable.The idea of going backwards in time is derived from the existence of a time vector that is negative , although just what this might mean to our senses in the unlikely circumstance of our experiencing this state cannot be conjectured.There have been, in fact, some observations of particle chambers which have led some scientists to speculate that a particle called the tachyon may exist with the trans-light properties we have just discussed.The difficulties of imagining and coping with these potential implications of our mathematical models points out the importance of studying alternative methods of notation for advanced physics. Professor Zuckerkandl, in his book Sound and Symbol, hypothesizes that it might be better to express the relationships found in quantum mechanics through the use of a notation derived from musical notations. To oversimplify greatly, he argues that music has always given time a special relationship to other factors or parameters or dimensions. Therefore, it might be a more useful language in which to express the relationships in physics where time again has a special role to play, and cannot be treated as just another dimension.The point of this, or any other alternative to the current methods of describing basic physical processes, is that time does not appear-either by common experience or sophisticated scientific understanding-to be the same sort of dimension or parameter as physical dimensions, and is deserving of completely special treatment, in a system of notation designed to accomplish that goal.One approach would be to consider time to be a field effect governed by the application of energy to mass-that is to say, by the interaction of different forms of energy, if you wish to keep in mind the equivalence of mass and energy. The movement of any normal sort of mass is bound to produce a field effect that we call positive time. An imaginary mass would produce a negative time field effect. This is not at variance with Einstein´s theories, since the "faster" a given mass moves the more energy was applied to it and the greater would be the field effect. The time effects predicted by Einstein and confirmed by experience are, it seems, consonant with this concept.第61题The "sound" of Professor Zuckerkandl´s book title probably refers to ______.A.the music of the spheresB.music in the abstractC.musical notationD.the seemingly musical sounds produced by tachyons第62题The passage supports the inference that______.A.Einstein´s theory of relativity is wrongB.the Lorentz-Fitzgerald formulas contradict Einstein´s theoriesC.time travel is clearly possibleD.it is impossible to travel at precisely the speed of light第63题The tone of the passage is______.A.critical but hopefulB.hopeful but suspiciousC.suspicious but speculativeD.speculative but hopeful第64题The central idea of the passage can be best described as being which of the following?A.Anomalies in theoretical physics notation permit intriguing hypotheses and indicate the need for refined notation of the time dimension.B.New observations require the development of new theories and new methods of describing the new theories.C.Einsteinian physics can be much improved on in its treatment of tachyons.D.Zuckerkandl´s theories of tachyon formation are preferable to Einstein´s.第65题According to the author, it is too soon to______.A.call Beethoven a physicistB.adopt proposals such as Zuckerkandl´sC.plan for time travelD.study particle chambers for tachyon traces上一题下一题(66~70/共30题)Reading ComprehensionTwice as many girls as boys are being born in some Arctic villages because of high levels of man-made chemicals in the blood of pregnant women, according to scientists from the Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Programme(Amap).The scientists, who say the findings could explain the recent excess of girl babies across much of the northern hemisphere, are widening their investigation across the most acutely affected communities in Russia, Greenland and Canada to try to discover the size of the imbalance in Inuit communities of the far north.In the communities of Greenland and eastern Russia monitored so far, the ratio was found to be two girls to one boy. In one village in Greenland only girls have been born.The scientists measured the man-made chemicals in women´s blood that mimic human hormones and concluded that they were capable of triggering changes in the sex of unborn children in the first three weeks of gestation. The chemicals are carried in the mother´s bloodstream through the placenta to the foetus, switching hormones to create girl children.Lars-Otto Reierson, executive secretary for Amap, said: " We knew that the levels of man-made chemicals were accumulating in the food chain, and that seals, whales and particularly polar bears were getting a dose a million times higher than that existing in plankton, and that this could be toxic to humans who ate these higher animals. What was shocking was that they were also able to change the sex of children before birth.The sex balance of the human race-historically a slight excess of boys over girls-has recently begun to change. A paper published in the US National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences earlier this year said that in Japan and the US there were 250,000 boys fewer than would have been expected had the sex ratio existing in 1970 remained unchanged. The paper was unable to pin down a cause for the new excess of girls over boys.The Arctic scientists have discovered that many of the babies born in Russia are premature and the boys are far smaller than girls. Possible links between the pollutants and high infantmortality in the first year of life is also being investigated.Scientists believe a number of man-made chemicals used in electrical equipment from generators, televisions and computers that mimic human hormones are implicated. They are carried by winds and rivers to the Arctic where they accumulate in the food chain and in the bloodstreams of the largely meat-and fish-eating Inuit communities.The first results of the survey were disclosed at a symposium of religious, scientific and environmental leaders in Greenland´s capital, Nuuk, yesterday, organized by the Patriarch of the Orthodox Church, Bartholomew I, which is looking at the effects of environmental pollution on the Arctic.Dr Reierson said the accumulation of DDT, PCBs, flame-retardants and other endocrine disrupters has been known for some time and young women had been advised to avoid eating some Arctic animals to avoid excess contamination and possible damage to their unborn children. Dr Reierson said blood samples from pregnant women were subsequently matched with the sex of their baby. Women with elevated levels of PCBs in their blood above two to four micrograms per litre and upwards were checked in three northern peninsula´s in Russia´s far east-the Kola, Taimyr and Chukotka-plus the Pechora River Basin.To check the results the survey was widened and further communities, including those on Commodore Island, were investigated. The results were now in for 480 families and the ratio remained the same.He said full results for the widening of the survey would not be published until next year but preliminary results for Greenland showed the same 2:1 ratio in the north.Aqqaluk Lynge, the former chairman of the Inuit Circumpolar Conference who hails from Greenland, said: "This is a disaster, especially for some 1 ,500 people who make up the Inuit nations in the far north east of Russia." Here in the north of Greenland, in the villages near the Thule American base, only girl babies are being born to Inuit families." The problem is acute in the north and east of Greenland where people still have the traditional diet."This has become a critical question of people´s survival but few governments want to talk a-bout the problem of hormone mimickers because it means thinking about the chemicals you use. "I think they need to be tested much more stringendy before they are allowed on the market. "第66题Why are their more girls than boys born in some Arctic villages?____第67题How did man-made chemicals in women´s blood affect the sex of the unborn children?____第68题What is the case in Japan and the US had the sex ratio existing in 1970 remained unchanged?____第69题How did scientists believe that a number of man-made chemicals used in electrical equipment get to the Arctic?____第70题When is the full result for the widening of the survey expected to be published?____。

第一部分英译汉Part 1 English to Chinese TranslationPassage 1Early Maori adapted the tropically based east Polynesian culture in line with the challenges associated with a larger and more diverse environment, eventually developing their own distinctive culture. The British and Irish immigrants brought aspects of their own culture to New Zealand and also influenced Maori culture. More recently American, Australian, Asian and other European cultures have exerted influence on New Zealand.New Zealand music has been influenced by blues, jazz, country, rock and roll and hip hop, with many of these genres given a unique New Zealand interpretation. Maori developed traditional chants and songs from their ancient South-East Asian origins, and after centuries of isolation created a unique "monotonous" and "doleful" sound.The number of New Zealand films significantly increased during the 1970s. In 1978 the New Zealand Film Commission started assisting local film-makers and many films attained a world audience, some receiving international acknowledgment. New Zealand television primarily broadcasts American and British programming, along with a large number of Australian and local shows. The country's diverse scenery and compact size, plus government incentives, have encouraged some producers to film big budget movies in New Zealand. The Ministry for Culture and Heritage is government‟s leading adviser on cultural matters. The Ministry funds, monitors and supports a range of cultural agencies and delivers a range of high-quality cultural products and services. The Ministry provides advice to government on where to focus its interventions in the cultural sector. It seeks to ensure that Vote funding is invested as effectively and efficiently as possible, and that government priorities are met. The Ministry has a strong track record of delivering high-quality publications, managing significant heritage and commemorations, and acting as guardian of New Zealand‟s culture. The Ministry‟s work prioritizes cultural outcomes and also supports educational, economic and social outcomes, linking with the work of a range of other government agencies.Awakening the …Dutch Gene‟ of Water Survival By CHRISTOPHER F. SCHUETZEJUNE 29, 2014Along a rugged, wide North Sea beach here on a recent day, children formed teams of eight to 10, taking their places beside mounds of sand carefully cordoned by candy-cane striped tape. They had one hour for their sand castle competition. Some built fishlike structures, complete with scales. Others spent their time on elaborate ditch and dike labyrinths. Each castle was adorned on top with a white flag. Then they watched the sea invade and devour their work, seeing whose castle could withstand the tide longest. The last standing flag won.Theirs was no ordinary day at the beach, but a newly minted, state-sanctioned competition for schoolchildren to raise awareness of the dangers of rising sea levels in a country of precarious geography that has provided lessons for the world about water management, but that fears that its next generation will grow complacent.Fifty-five percent of the Netherlands is either below sea level or heavily flood-prone. Yet thanks to its renowned expertise and large water management budget (about 1.25 percent of gross domestic product), the Netherlands has averted catastrophe since a flooding disaster in 1953.Experts here say that they now worry that the famed Dutch water management system actually works too well and that citizens will begin to take for granted the nation‟s success in staying dry. As global climate change threatens to raise sea levels by as much as four feet by the end of the century, the authorities here are working to make real to children the forecasts that may seem far-off, but that will shape their lives in adulthood and old age.“Everything works so smoothly that people don‟ t realize anymore that they are taking a risk in developing urban areas in low-lying areas,” said Hafkenscheid, the lead organizer of the competition and a water expert with the Foreign Ministry.Before the competition, the children, ages 6 to 11, were coached by experts in dike building and water management. V olunteers stood by, many of them freshly graduated civil engineers, giving last-minute advice on how best to battle the rising water.A recently released report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on water management in the Netherlands pointed to an “awareness gap” among Dutch citizens.汉译英Part 2 Chinese to English TranslationPassage 1 (选自2013 年政府白皮书《西藏的发展与进步》,原文链接:/show-35-1007-1.html)改革开放30 多年来,西藏通过深化改革和扩大开放积极推动全区商业、对外贸易和旅游产业加快发展,不仅增强了与内地的交流,同时也加强了与世界的联系和合作。
2015年翻译硕士考研真题,院校选择,考研重点讲解

翻译硕士考研指导关于翻译硕士考研院校选择:写在前面的话:近年来由于个别案例被放大,导致在择校问题上有不少误传,比如只能报考第一批次,只能报考211、985高校,再比如这个专业学费高昂,等等。
这些,我们手上是有几乎全部院校的数据的,在此举几个简单的例子就足以说明问题:首先,批次只代表开设时间长短,没有其他特殊含义,比如西南大学是第一批开设的,川外却是第二批,国际关系学院更是第三批才开放。
第二,针对211、985,参评的多数都是理工类院校,比如MTI招生校中的华南理工,但MTI 毕竟是个语言类专业,一些非常不错的,比如北语比如广外,既不是211也不是985。
教学评估也是一样的道理,上海对外贸易大学,不知道有多少人听说过?不是211,不是985,强项是外语文学法学等专业,教学评估排行也就30名的样子,但是你知不知道世贸组织全球14个教席大学里,咱们国家唯一入选的就是它了?再比如,你知不知道复旦的教学评估居然是全国最后一名?各种原因,不足为外人道也。
总之:名校虽好,但是更多的代表的是一种科研能力,于语言这种重在应用的学科没有太多的含义。
再次,关于学费的问题,这个要考虑学校的资源,建设的成本等问题,比如13年北语的学费是9千,外语相对较弱的北林却是1万5,这就是新开专业建设成本较高导致的,而同样优秀的广外,学费也是上完,这就是资源成本了,每年的广交会的翻译基本都是广外承担的,学校让学生去历练,其实是淡了很大的风险的。

2015年武汉大学翻译硕士MTI考研真题,考研经验

2015年武汉大学翻译硕士MTI考研真题,考研经验翻译硕士英语翻硕英语跟前两年一样,还是四个题型: 语法词汇题,改错,阅读,作文。
唯一的变化是主观阅读题目要求变了,由前几年的“不超过十个词作答”变成了没有词数限制。
词汇语法40个题,大体上词汇题和语法题各占一半,还是专四难度,我考前几天做了星火专四词汇语法还碰到了原题!改错题10个错误,讲的是关于女性流产的。
阅读依然是三篇客观,一篇主观。
个人认为第三篇客观比较难,关于爱因斯坦时空理论的,没看太懂,有好几个都是猜的!主观阅读比较简单,在文中都能找到答案!作文是说“穷人家的孩子比富人家的孩子更有能力处理成年人的问题”,要求不少于400词,据说是雅思原题!三、英语翻译基础看了武大历年真题,词汇翻译部分都考得挺常规,没什么新词热词,所以没怎么复习这块,没想到今年考了好几个新词热词!!!我还记得的如下(顺序随机):Shanghai Free Trade Area,bank balance,host university,current account,cash drain,National City Bank of New York,general consulatepay by installment,OPEC,埃博拉病毒,丝路基金,失联,微信,海外追逃,反垄断调查,权力寻租腐败,潜规则,苏格兰独立公投,亚太自贸区,食品安全,科研经费,依法治国,反恐情报中心,段落翻译E–C关于文学作品的作用和意义;C–E是于季羡林的,主要意思是说季羡林为人处事十分认真,然后举了一个例子说他如何认真负责,全文到处都是“季老”,还提到了萧乾。
总的来说,两篇都是文学翻译,特别是中翻英不好翻,很多词汇不知道怎么翻比较好,只能自己发挥,往年喜欢考的《秘密花园》《青鸟》都没有考,悲!这里提醒学弟学妹们,平时练习的时候一定要广泛涉猎各种体裁的翻译,以文学和政经为主,也不要视其他类型的文体,这样考试的时候才不会慌张!四、汉语写作与百科知识百科还是武大风格,25个选择题,三篇作文。

2015年硕士英语考试真题及答案

2015年硕士英语考试真题及答案全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1The 2015 Master's English ExamHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm in the 5th grade. My older brother Mike just took the master's English exam last year to get into a fancy university. It was really hard! He studied like crazy for months. I helped him practice some of the questions and I want to tell you all about the exam he took. It was crazy!The reading section was super long. Mike said there were passages about science, history, literature, you name it! They gave him these massive reading passages, then asked all these tiny detail questions to see if he actually read and understood everything. Some of the questions were easy, like "What color was the bird mentioned in paragraph 3?" But others were really hard. They'd ask him to infer things that weren't directly stated, or analyze the author's tone and attitude. Yikes!My favorite part was the vocabulary questions. They'd give Mike these super advanced vocabulary words, like "quintessential" or "ubiquitous." Then they'd ask him to choosethe right definition from a list of possibilities. Sometimes they wanted him to fill in the blank of a sentence with the correct word too. Vocabulary is my strongest subject so I thought those questions were kind of fun!Then there was the writing section. Mike had to write two essays, one analyzing an argument and one taking a position on an issue. The argument analysis made him read through a long persuasive passage full of evidence and examples. Then he had to pick apart the argument, discussing things like the assumptions, logic, evidence, and counterarguments. It reminded me of that critical thinking unit we did in class. For the issue essay, Mike had to take a stance on a controversial topic and build a solid case supporting his viewpoint using reasoning and examples. His topic was something about international trade policies. I'm glad I didn't have to write about that!But by far the hardest section for Mike was the speaking. He had to actually talk out loud and record his responses! For some questions, he saw a paragraph and had to read it aloud clearly and with good pronunciation. Easy for a reading superstar like me, but Mike always struggled with that. Then they showed him a graphic like a chart or diagram, and he had to describe it in detail just from memory. The final speaking task was wild - Mikehad to choose between two противоположные мнения and defend одно из них как аргумент, backing it up with specific examples and reasoning spontaneously. No notes, no preparation, just free-flowing speech! I don't know how he pulled that one off.When Mike finally finished the whole exam, he was exhausted. But he felt pretty good about it overall. We're still waiting to hear if he got accepted to that fancy school. I sure hope so after all that hard work! As for me, I'm staying far away from anything called a "master's exam" until I'm much, much older. Third grade reading and math is hard enough! Let me know if you want to see Mike's actual exam with the reading passages and question prompts. I managed to...borrow...his test booklet after he was done. But shhh, don't tell anyone! An elementary school super-spy has to keep some secrets.篇22015 Master's English Exam - The Whole Truth From a KidHey guys! You'll never believe what happened to me last week. My big sister Emily is in grad school studying to be an English teacher. She had to take this huge exam called the Master's English exam. It's supposed to be really hard with allthese reading passages, essays to write, and grammar questions. Emily was stressing out big time!The night before the exam, she was up late cramming all the practice tests and study guides. I felt bad for her so I snuck into her room with some warm milk and cookies to help her relax. That's when I saw her exam materials just sitting there on her desk! My curiosity got the better of me and I took a peek.Well, one peek turned into reading the whole thing cover to cover. I couldn't help myself! The passages were actually kind of interesting. There was one about the history of computers that talked about these huge ancient machines that took up entire rooms. Can you imagine?! And another one discussed barriers that women faced in becoming scientists back in the 1800s. It was just fascinating stuff.The grammar questions weren't too tricky either. Identifying verb tenses, fixing run-on sentences, spotting misplaced modifiers - that's child's play compared to the games me and my friends come up with at recess. We ought to be teaching the grammar lessons!As for the essay prompts, I got the urge to just start writing. One prompt asked you to discuss an obstacle you overcame and how it changed your perspective. I wrote a killer essay about thetime I fell off the monkey bars and broke my arm, but refused to cry because crying is for babies. Taking the tough route built my inner strength and bravery that day. The graders would have eaten that essay up, I'm telling you!Another prompt wanted you to analyze the importance of preserving cultural traditions in an increasingly globalized world. Hello, my family is Indian and we go all out for Diwali every year!I had so many rich examples about the beautiful clothing, bright lights, amazing food, and most importantly the bonding between generations as we celebrate together. Nailed it!By the end, I had the whole exam completed - every single reading passage, grammar question, and essay outlined and ready to rock. I just had to see if my stellar work would get a passing score.Using Emily's scoring guide, I graded my exam...drumroll please...and I got an A+ Obviously my sister didn't need to stress so much. I slid the test back onto her desk, grinning at my secret accomplishment.The next day after Emily's exam, she came home looking defeated. I asked how it went and she said, "Let's just say you won't be calling me 'Master' Emily anytime soon. That thing was BRUTAL!" I just smiled, nodded, and offered her a couple of myfamous homemade chocolate chip cookies to make her feel better.Little does she know her dummy little brother just crushed the test behind her back! Hah, I should have been the one to get the Master's degree. But don't worry, I'll let Emily believe she actually earned that thing...for now. The secret's safe with me.篇32015 Master's English Exam: A Kid's ViewHi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. My big sister Katie is studying to become a master at the university. Last year, she had to take this crazy hard test called the Master's English Exam. It was full of really tough questions that even made my parents scratch their heads! But Katie studied super duper hard and she rocked that test. Let me tell you all about it!The Reading SectionThe first part was all about reading. There were some long, boring passages to read. I probably would have fallen asleep halfway through! But not my sis. She's a reading master. One passage was about the history of zipline tours. Who even cares about that? There were questions like "According to the passage,what was the main reason ziplines became popular in Costa Rica?" I'd be like "Uhhh, because people thought it would be fun to fly through the air while attached to a cable?"Another reading had to do with changes in urban planning over the years. Unfortunately, I can't remember much else, because my mind wandered to thinking about my Pokemon cards. Sorry! The questions were sick hard though. Things like "Which of the following statements from the passage best describes the author's main claim?" I'd just pick C for all of those.The Writing SectionThen came the writing part, which was a million times worse in my opinion. Katie had to write a whole essay about whether broadcasters should be allowed to use offensive language on television. Writing is like my worst nightmare! She had to take a stance, provide examples, consider different perspectives, and structure her thoughts logically. No thanks!There was also a second writing task where Katie summarized the key points made in a lecture and reading passage. The lecture was about environmental policies and climate change. I can't imagine anything more mind-numbing than listening to a long lecture and trying to write a nice summary. Just thinking about it makes me want to take a nap!The Speaking SectionIf you thought those sections were hard, hold onto your hats for the speaking part! Katie had to give spoken responses to a bunch of questions, all while being recorded. The first question was an opinion one, where she had to explain her views on whether internships should be paid or unpaid. I'd just be like "Ummm, paid please! Money is awesome!"Then she had to look at a picture and describe it in as much detail as possible, like the colors, shapes, what the people were doing, stuff like that. For one of them she had to describe a graph tracking enrollment numbers over time. Sheesh, I'm already sweating just thinking about doing all that speaking!The final speaking task was totally bonkers. Katie read a passage about new technologies in public transportation. Then she had to summarize the key points, and give her opinion on the author's views, all in a tight time limit. If it was me, I'd probably say something like "Yeah public transportation is cool I guess. Except for buses because they're smelly and have chewing gum all over them. Did I summarize it good?"The Listening SectionPhew, those first three sections sound impossible, right? Well, there was still the mega difficult listening part to go! Katie had to listen to recordings of conversations and lectures, then answer comprehension questions about the main points, opinions stated, and implied meanings.For one of the conversations, it took place between a student and university advisor. They talked about things like changing majors and fulfilling requirements. If you asked me what it was about, I'd probably just respond "Umm...school stuff?" The questions were nuts like "What was the student's primary reason for making the appointment?" No clue! I'd just pick C again.Another listening passage was a lecture from an archeology professor about some recent excavation in Egypt. It covered all these dates, places, and ancient civilizations that I can't even pronounce. The questions asked specific details that I never could have caught, like the names of the artifacts discovered. I'd be completely lost!The Integrated TasksAs if those reading, writing, speaking, and listening sections weren't hard enough, there were also combined tasks that Katie had to do. For example, read a passage about urban planningstrategies, listen to a lecture discussing the same topic, then write a essay contrasting the key points made in each. Could you imagine?!For another integrated task, she read a passage about the environmental impact of air travel. Then she listened to two students discussing the reading. Afterwards, Katie summarized the gist of the conversation including their perspectives in her own words. I can't even summarize the plot of a 22 minute cartoon show!The AnswersNow let me briefly go over some of the answers Katie came up with for the test. Obviously I can't reveal them all or that would be cheating. But here's a little peek:For the writing essay about offensive language on TV, Katie argued that while free speech is important, broadcasters have a responsibility to avoid excessive profanity and hate speech that could be disturbing or offensive to viewers.For the unpaid internships speaking question, she said she believes internships should be paid positions, at least minimum wage. She gave examples of how unpaid work could be exploitative, especially for students without financial support.Katie's summary for the public transportation lecture emphasized how new technologies like smartphone apps and automated systems were making public transit easier and more efficient in many urban areas.In her contrast essay for the integrated task, Katie analyzed the differing perspectives in the reading and lecture regarding challenges and strategies for urban development and renewal.See what I mean? This master's exam was absolutely insane! I'm getting tired just talking about it. Katie is seriously a genius for doing so well.That's all I've got to share about my big sis' crazy experience with the 2015 Master's English Exam. I don't know how she kept her cool through all those intense tasks. If you happened to take that exam too, let me know how you did! And try not to brag too much if you killed it - some of us are still working on reading and writing at an 8-year-old level. Catch you later!篇42015 Master's English Exam Question and Answer (Kid's Voice)Hi there! My name is Timmy and I'm gonna tell you all about this crazy test I took last year. It was called the "Master's English Exam" but I'm only 10 years old, so I don't know why they let me take a grown-up test like that. But anyway, here's what happened!The test had four sections - listening, reading, writing, and speaking. I was pretty nervous for the listening part because sometimes I zone out when people talk for too long. But it wasn't too bad! They just played some audio clips about random topics like how ice cream is made or why dogs chase cats. After each clip, they asked a few questions to see if you understood the main ideas. Easy peasy!Then we had to do the reading section. This was the hardest part for me because the passages were sooooo long and boring. Like, who wants to read a giant essay about the history of paper clips? Not this kid! The questions were okay though. They just asked stuff like "what was the main idea?" and "which of the following is NOT mentioned?" As long as you didn't fall asleep while reading, you could probably get through it.Next up was the writing section, which was actually kind of fun! The prompt was "Describe your favorite place to visit and why you like it." I wrote all about my grandma's house becauseshe has a huge backyard with a treehouse and a stream where I can catch frogs and tadpoles. I worked really hard on my grammar and vocabulary too, throwing in great words like "beckon" and "serenity." Hopefully I impressed those test graders!The very last part was the speaking section, which was a little strange. You had to go into this tiny room alone with a recording device and answer some opinion questions that popped up on the computer. One of them was "Some people think kids should not have to go to school in the summer. How would you respond to this view?" I basically just rambled about how summer break is awesome because you can sleep in late and play video games all day. Not sure if that's what they wanted to hear, but at least I got some good practice speaking English!Well, that's pretty much all the details I can remember about that brutal Master's English Exam. Taking a test meant for grown-ups was no joke, let me tell you! My poor little kid brain was fried by the end of it. I'm just hoping I did okay so I can go to a good college one day. Although honestly, being a professional video game player sounds way more fun. A boy can dream, right?Anyway, let me know if you have any other questions! I'll do my best to use proper English and big vocabulary words instead of just saying things like "That test was super duper hard!" Oh wait, I guess I just did that. Oops! Better luck next time, Timmy.篇52015 Master's English Exam - A Kid's TellingHi there! My name is Sophie and I'm 10 years old. My big sister Jessica just took the crazy hard master's English exam last year in 2015. She's really smart but even she said it was super difficult. I helped her study for it though, and I got to see a lot of the practice questions and stuff. Let me tell you all about that big important test!First off, the reading section was no joke. There were these massively long passages about history, science, literature, you name it. And the questions were really tricky too. Like one might ask what the main idea of paragraph 5 was, but that paragraph didn't really have one main point - it was talking about a bunch of different things! Jessica had to read very carefully to pick up on all the details.Then there were the vocab questions testing if you knew the precise meaning and usage of crazy advanced words like"proclivity" or "sanguine." I had no clue what those meant, but thank goodness Jessica already knew all that stuff from years of reading. The questions would give you a sentence with the word blanked out, and you'd have to figure out which definition fit best in that context. So not just vocab memorization - you had to do a lot of critical thinking too.Then we get to the writing section, which was in two parts: first an essay prompt, and then revising a rough draft of an argument essay. For the essay, you had to write a whole persuasive essay in like 45 minutes! The prompts could be about anything from technology to education to the environment. You had to take a clear stance, use solid examples and reasoning, organize it all logically, and have flawless grammar too. Talk about pressure!As for revising that argument essay draft - boy, was that a nightmare. The draft would have all kinds of silly mistakes, repetition, lack of clear flow, you name it. And you'd have to go through and answer multiple choice questions about how to correct each individual error and improve the whole thing. It really tested your eye for detail and ability to communicate ideas effectively in writing.Finally, the speaking section literally had me sweating! You had to go in a soundproof room, put on headphones, and then a recording would give you prompts to speak about for 60 seconds at a time. The test graders were literally evaluating your pronunciation, grammar, vocab usage, fluency, everything!Some prompts asked you to explain a personal preference, like your favorite book. Others were more academic, like having to summarize the core ideas from a short lecture you heard through the headphones. Or you might have to take a stance and present a persuasive argument about some controversial issue. No time for "umms" or "uhhs" - you had to just go with clear, natural speech from the get-go.I was amazed at how poised and well-spoken Jessica was during all her practice tests. Me, I would've been a babbling mess for sure! She put in so much hard work though, going through practice materials, taking tons of mock tests, getting feedback from tutors, and drilling her English skills over and over again.When exam day came, she was ready. She emerged from that 4-hour test a warrior! Maybe a very mentally drained and slightly traumatized warrior...but she made it through in one piece at least.A few months later, Jessica's scores came back and she totally aced it! All that intense preparation really paid off for her. Her speaking and writing were extremely strong, and she did well on the other sections too despite how tough they were. She's now doing her master's program at a top university.As for me, I still have about 8 more years before I'll be taking any crazy English exams like that! But I got great practice helping Jessica get ready, and I have a much better idea of what to expect. I just hope my exam days won't be quite as intense as what she went through. Wish me luck - I've got to go study now before Ms. Wilson's spelling test tomorrow! Bye!篇62015 Master's English Exam Questions and AnswersHi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm 10 years old. I just took the 2015 Master's English exam last week and boy was it hard! I thought I'd share some of the questions and answers with you in case you want to take it someday too.The first section was listening comprehension. They played these really long conversations and lectures and then asked questions about them after. One was about a student talking to his professor about doing an internship over the summer. I hadto answer things like what the internship was for and where it was located. The answers weren't always obvious from what they said! Another listening was this crazy long lecture on the history of the printing press. I could barely stay awake, let alone remember all the details to answer the questions. Yawn!Next up was reading comprehension. We had to read all these super boring passages and answer questions on the main ideas, writers' purposes, vocabulary in context, that kind of thing. One passage was about the impacts of commercial whaling which was sad but interesting. Another was on the philosophy of Aristotle which went completely over my head. How am I supposed to know what he was talking about? I'm only 10!The writing section was probably the hardest part. First we had to read a short argument about something and then summarize the author's view and respond with our own opinion. The sample I got was about allowing more commercial advertising in schools. Can you believe some schools actually do that?! Then we had to write a full essay from scratch on a general topic, taking a clear position. I wrote mine on why kids should get less homework. Hopefully the grader agrees with me on that one!Lastly, there were sections testing our knowledge of English grammar, vocabulary, and idioms/phrases. We had to identify errors in sentences, define hard vocabulary words, and explain the meanings of idioms like "getting cold feet." English is my first language and even I struggled with some of those obscure words and sayings. Who comes up with this stuff?All in all, it was a really challenging exam. I'm not sure how well I did, but I gave it my best shot. A few weeks from now I'll get my score back and find out if I passed or failed. Wish me luck! If you're thinking of taking this Master's exam yourself, be sure to study hard. It's no walk in the park, that's for sure.Phew, I'm exhausted just recounting all that. Time for a snack break! Thanks for reading, friends. Let me know if you have any other questions!。

英翻汉(奥巴马就职演讲的几段)I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors. I thank President Bush for his service to our nation, as well as the generosity and cooperation he has shown throughout this transition.Forty-four Americans have now taken the presidential oath. The words have been spoken during rising tides of prosperity and the still waters of peace. Yet, every so often the oath is taken amidst gathering clouds and raging storms. At these moments, America has carried on not simply because of the skill or vision of those in high office, but because We the People have remained faithful to the ideals of our forbearers, and true to our founding documents.That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against afar-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age. Homes have been lost; jobs shed; businesses shuttered. Our health care is too costly; our schools fail too many; and each day brings further evidence that the ways we use energy strengthen our adversaries and threaten our planet.These are the indicators of crisis, subject to data and statistics. Less measurable but no less profound is a sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America’s declin e is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights.Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America - they will be met.B:汉翻英(夏衍《野草》中的几段)有人问:世界上什么东西的气力最大?回答纷纭的很,有的说“象”,有的说“狮”,有人开玩笑似的说:是“金刚”,金刚有多少气力,当然大家全不知道。
