What is your opinion? Write an essay of about 300 words.In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support your thesis with appropriate arguments and details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.。

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. You should decide on the best choice and write it down on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1This year makes exactly two centuries since the publication of Frankenstein; or The Modern Prometheus, by Mary Shelley. Even before the invention of the electric light bulb, the author produced a remarkable work of speculative fiction that would foreshadow many ethical questions to be raised by technologies yet to come.Today the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (Al) rises fundamental question, “What is intelligence, identity, or consciousness? What makes humans humans?”What is being called artificial general intelligence, machines that would imitate the way humans think, continues to evade scientists. Yet humans remain fascinated by the idea of robots that would look, move, and respond like humans, similar to those recently depicted on popular sci-fi TV series such as “West world” and “Humans”.Just how people think is still far too complex to be understood, let alone reproduced, says David Eagleman, a Stanford University neuroscientist. “We are just in a situation where thereare no good theories explaining what consciousness actually is and how you could ever build a machine to get there.”But that doesn’t mean crucial ethical issues involving AI aren’t at hand. The coming use of autonomous vehicles, for example, poses thorny ethical questions. Human drivers sometimes must make split-second decisions. Their reactions may be a complex combination of instant reflexes, input from past driving experiences, and what their eyes and cars tell them in that moment. AI “vision” today is not nearly as sophisticated as that of humans. And to anticipate every imaginable driving situation is a difficult programming problem.Whenever decision are based on masses of data, “you quickly get into a lot of ethical questions,” notes Tam Kiat How, chief executive of a Singapore-based agency that is helping the government develop a voluntary code for the ethical use of AL Along with Singapore, other governments and mega-corporations are beginning to establish their own guidelines. Britain is setting up a data ethics center. India released its AI ethics strategy this spring.On June 7th Google pledged not to “design or deploy Al”that would cause “overall harm,”or to develop AI-directed weapons or use AI for surveillance that would violate international norms. It also pledged not to deploy AI whose use would violate international laws or human rights.While the statement is vague, it represents one starting point. So does the idea that decision made by AI systems should be explainable, transparent, and fair. To put it another way: How can we make sure that the thinking of intelligent machines reflects humanity’s highest values? Only then will they be useful servants and not Frankenstein’s out-of-control monster.31. Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein is mentioned because it __________.[A] the spy phone software requires no special skills or knowledge[B] has remained popular for as long as 200 years[C] involves some concerns raised by AI today[D] has parked serious ethical controversies32. In David Eagleman’s opinion, our current knowledge of consciousness __________.[A] helps explain artificial intelligence[B] can be misleading to robot making[C] inspires popular sci-fi TV series[D] is too limited for us to reproduce it33. The solution to the ethical issues brought by autonomous vehicles __________.[A] can hardly ever be found[B] is still beyond our capacity[C] causes little public concern[D] has aroused much curiosity34. The author’s attitude toward Google’s pledges is one of __________.[A] affirmation[B] skepticism[C] contempt[D] respect35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A] AI’s Future: In the Hands of Tech Giants[B] Frankenstein, the Novel Predicting the Age of AI[C] The Conscience of AI: Complex But Inevitable[D] AI Shall Be Killers Once Out of ControlPassage 2Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumptions that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the stale argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The court would be recklessly modest if it followed Califor nia’s advice. Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justices can and should provideupdated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.They should start by discarding California s lame argument that exploring the contents of a smartphone—a vast storehouse of digital information is similar to, say, going through a suspec t’s purse. The court has ruled that police don’t violate the Fourth Amendment when they go through the wallet or pocket-book of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring one’s smartphone is more like entering his or her home. A smartphone may contain an arrestee’s reading history, finan cial history, medical history and comprehensive records of rec ent correspondence. The development of “c loud computing,” meanwhile, has made that exploration so much easier.Americans should take steps to protect their digital privacy. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and prot ected by the Constitution’s prohibition on unreasonable searches.As so often is the case, stating that principle doesn’t ease the challenge of line-drawing. In many cases, it would not be overly burdensome for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone con-tents. They could still invalidate Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe, urgent circumstances, such as the threat of immediate harm, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not erased or altered while waiting for a warrant. The court, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more freedom.But the justices should not swallow Californ ia’s argument whole. New disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitution’s protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 2l st century with the establishment of automobile use as a virtual necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.36. The Super Court will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legitimate to _________.[A] search for suspects’ mobile phones without a warrant[B] prevent suspects from deleting their phone contents[C] check suspects’ phone contents without being authorized[D] prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones37. The author’s attitude toward California’s argument is one of _________.[A] disapproval[B] indifference[C] tolerance[D] cautiousness38. The author believes t hat exploring one’s phone contents in comparable to_________.[A] getting into one’s residence[B] handing one’s historical records[C] scanning one’s correspondences[D] going through one’s wallet39. In Paragraph 5 and 6, the author shows his concern that_________.[A] principles are hard to be clearly expressed[B] the court is giving police less room for action[C] citizens’ privacy is not effective protected[D] phones are used to store sensitive information40. Orin Kerr’s comparison is quoted to indicate that_________.[A] the Constitution should be implemented flexibly.[B] new technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution[C] California’s argument violates principles of the Constitution[D] principles of the Constitution should never be alteredSection BDirections: Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.When given the choice to learn how their actions will affect someone else, 40% of people will choose ignorance, often in order to have an excuse to act selfishly, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.(41) “Examples of such willful ignorance abound in everyday life, such as when consumers ignore information about the problematic origins of the products they buy. We wanted to know just how prevalent and how harmful willful ignorance is, as well as why people engage in it.” said lead author Linh Vu, MS, a doctoral candidate at the University of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.The research was published in the journal Psychological Bulletin.Vu and her colleagues conducted a meta-analysis of 22 research studies with a total of 6,531 participants. The studies were all conducted in research labs or online, and most followed a protocol in which some participants were told the consequences of their actions, while others could choose whether to learn the consequences or not.(42) In one example, participants had to decide between receiving a smaller reward ($5) or a larger reward ($6). If they chose $5, then an anonymous peer (or charity) would also receive $5. If they chose the larger $6 reward, however, the other recipient would receive only $1. One set of participants were offered the option to learn the consequences of their choice, while another group was automatically told the consequences.Across the studies, the researchers found that when given an option, 40% of people chose not to learn the consequences of their actions. (43) That willful ignorance was correlated with less altruism(利他主义): People were 15.6 percentage points more likely to be generous to someone else when they were told the consequences of their choice compared with when they were allowed to remain ignorant.The researchers hypothesized that one reason for willful ignorance might be that some people behave altruistically because they want to maintain a positive self-image of being an altruistic person. In those cases, willful ignorance can allow them to maintain that self-image without having to act in an altruistic way.The meta-analysis backed that up, according to study co-author Shaul Shalvi, PhD, a professor of behavioral ethics at the University of Amsterdam. (44) That’s because people who chose to learn the consequences of their action were 7 percentage points more likely to be generous compared with participants who were given information by default. That suggests that truly altruistic people choose to learn the consequences of their actions.“The findings are fascinating as they suggest a lot of the altruistic behaviors we observe are driven by a desire to beh ave as others expect us to,” Shalvi said. “While most people are willing to do the right thing when they are fully informed of the consequences of their actions, this willingness is not always because people care for others. (45) A part of the reasons why people act altruistically is due to societal pressures as well as their desire to view themselves in a good light. Since being righteous is often costly, demanding people to give up their time, money and effort, ignorance offers an easy way out.”All of the studies included in this meta-analysis took place in labs in the United States or Western Europe, or on online platforms such as Amazon Mechanical Turk. Future research should aim to examine willful ignorance in more diverse settings, according to the researchers, and to investigate ways to combat this behavior.Part IV Writing (30 POINTS)Directions:Write a composition on the topic “My Generation’s Views on Work” in about 400 words.You are to write in three parts.In the first part, state clearly what your view is.In the second part, support your view with appropriate reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.11。

而《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》对英语专业第四学年的教学要求为通过课堂教学和其他途径认知词汇达10,000-12,000个;且能正确而熟练地使用其中的5,000-6,000个及其最常用的搭配;英语专业八级考试要求词汇量在13,000左右,由此可见,对于英语专业考生《翻译硕士英语》的词汇量要求并不高,为高等学校英语专业本科生经过大学阶段的英语学习与实践应当达到的最低标准。

而根据《大学英语课程教学要求》,大学阶段非英语专业的英语教学要求分为三个层次,即一般要求、较高要求和更高要求。

更高要求推荐词汇量为约7675个单词,约2360个积极词汇,而大学英语六级词汇范围不超出《大学英语课程教学要求》中较高要求的词汇,即6395个单词,2200个积极词汇。

所以,如果是非英语专业考生报考翻译硕士,则词汇量要求相对较高,复习的力度应相应加大。

二是语法要求。

《翻译硕士英语》大纲要求考生能正确运用外语语法、结构、修辞等语言规范知识。

大纲没有指出具体内容,为了使考生能够更加明确复习范围,我们可以把《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》对语法要求的具体规定作为参考:能识别词类;区分名词的可数性和不可数性、可数名词的单、复数形式;基本掌握各种代词的形式与用法、基数词和序数词、常用介词和连词、形容词和副词的句法功能、比较级和最高级的构成及基本句型、冠词的一般用法;了解动词的主要种类、时态、语态及不定式和分词的基本用法、句子种类、基本句型和基本构词法;掌握主谓一致关系、表语从句、宾语从句、定语从句和状语从句等句型、直接引语和间接引语的用法、动词不定式和分词的用法、各种时态、主动语态、被动语态和构词法;熟练掌握主语从句、同位语从句、倒装句和各种条件句;较好地掌握句子之间和段落之间的衔接手段如照应、省略、替代等;熟练地使用各种衔接手段,连贯地表达思想。

Reading Comprehension (70 MIN, 40 points)Section 1 Multiple Choice Questions (30 points, 2 points for each)Directions: In this section there are three passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on your answer sheet.Passage OneSpeaking English fluently and accurately is a goal of many people studying English in China. Fluency can be simply defined as “being able to communicate ideas without having to stop and think too much about what one is s aying”; speaking accurately means, “speaking without errors of grammar and vocabulary.”The problem is that many students find that if they try to speak fast, they make more mistakes. And, if they slow down, there may be fewer errors but it can sound unnatural. So, how do we balance accuracy and fluency in spoken English?It can depend on the manner in which one has studied English in the past. People who tend to focus on accuracy may find that they worry too much about making mistakes. This can make them nervous or embarrassed about speaking English in public. As a result, their spoken English might not improve. This means that although they know English grammar and vocabulary well, they might not be able to hold a good conversation.On the other hand, there are those who really like to talk and are willing to try their language out even if they make mistakes. This willingness to take risks helps them speak more fluently. But, if they make a lot of mistakes, they may find it difficult to get their ideas across.The debate about which is more important —fluency or accuracy —in the English language has lasted for a long time. Still, one thing is clear: speaking a language well needs both fluency and accuracy. How can we be sure that we can develop both? The following tips could helpFind the problemWhat kind of person are you — one who focuses on accuracy or fluency? The first step is to recognize your problem and go to work on it. Think about situationswhere you’ve used English and how you felt about making mistakes. Do you always try some new language even though it might not be correct? Or do you feel embarrassed by mistakes?Focus on one problem at a timeWhen you speak English, find the mistakes you make most often. One mistake often mad e is omitting the “s” from the third person singular verb. Or you may speak too slowly as if you were searching for the right word and correct grammar. The next time you use English, try to focus on it. If you have a problem with the third person singular, try to concentrate on when you make such errors. Don’t spend time thinking about other mistakes. By choosing an area to work on, you can isolate problems and help yourself overcome them.Vary your practiceIf you go to an English corner or an English club, try to change the types of activities you take part in so that you practice both fluency and accuracy. Public speaking allows you to slow down and be sure you have time to concentrate on the language. Meanwhile, discussions are good practice for fluency, especially if you don’t stop each time a mistake is made.Learn the difference between fluency and speedSome Chinese think that speaking fast is the same as speaking fluently. In fact, speaking fluently involves not only speed. It also involves stress, pronunciation and intonation. If you make a mistake in these, speaking fast will only make it worse. Don't sacrifice understanding for speed.Try recording yourselfTake a recorder and record a conversation with a friend or a speech or monologue as you do it naturally! two- or three-minute recording is enough. When you’ve finished, listen to it yourself. Can you identify and correct any errors? Make it a regular practice. The more you record yourself, the more confident and natural sounding you will become.41.Many learners of English in China usually cherish a dream of speaking English.A.continuously, and almost without mistakesB.brokenly, but with no mistakesC.continually, and with quite a number of mistakes here and thereD.hesitatingly, but with not too many mistakes42.Which of the following is NOT a tip mentioned in the passage?A.To identify your problem.B.To make efforts to imitate native speakers.C.To concentrate on one problem at a time.D.To check your own talk or speech.43.According to the writer, fluency in speaking involves the following factors EXCEPT .A.pitchB. speedC. pronunciationD. stress44.What is the possible title of the passage?A.How to Speak Fluent English.B.Accuracy in Speaking English.C.Problems in Speaking EnglishD.Fluency and Accuracy in Speaking English.45.Why is it necessary to record yourself when you learn to speak English?A.You will become more confident.B.You will become more fluent.C.You will become more confident and natural-sounding.D.You will become more accurate.Passage TwoI thought the world was caving in, for the first time ever I lost somebody I loved; he didn’t die, he just went away, but I still measure all pain by the hurt Rene caused me.It was a very nice childhood, an adolescence most people would wish to have. Our neighbours had a son, and my wonderful childhood was shared with Rene;basically, we grew up together, we spent every day together, went to school together, we did all the things that children can do. It was a childhood spent in the woods, discovering the beautiful seasons, there was an abundance of produce that grew in the wild, and we went mushrooming and frog- hunting.The adventures that children go through in the making of a friendship, building a tree house and spending night in the forest — and losing our way back home; these things create fantastic fabric to the friendship. There was the loving element, too; he was very caring. Rene was tall and strong, and he would be my defender; if anyone ever teased me, he would be there.And life seemed marvelous, it seemed full of sunshine, full of incredible, beautiful things to discover, and I looked forward so much to growing up with Rene.And then at the age of 14, his parents moved to the south of France, and we were in the east of France, which is 750 kilometers away ... the south of France sounded like the end of the world.Well, our parents realized it would be very traumatic, and they did not know how to break the news, so they just announced it the day before. It was a beautiful summer’s day, around five o’clock in the evening, and both parents came and said: “We are moving away, and obviously Rene will have to come with us.”I went quietly for the news to sink in; at first it was sheer disbelief, numbness. I couldn’t sleep, and then in the night I understood the impact of the news, I understood that my life would be totally separate from his, and I had to be by myself, alone.And although he was only going away, he did not die, it was the worst loss I have ever had in my life, still, now, and thirty years later I have not received another shock of that nature.I had other friends, but never did I achieve that kind of closeness. My world completely collapsed, and nothing was the same, people, the classroom, nature, the country, and butterflies.Maybe because he was more mature he understood a bit better that it was part of life and that life brings people together and separates them, and distance is not necessarily the end.He accepted that life would separate us, he didn’t see it as something final; it was my dramatic side to see only the negative side, self-pity in a way. He is now living a happy life in Provence with a beautiful wife and two lovely daughters, and he is coming here next year, so it is going to be quite wonderful. It is the first time he has ever come to England. He’s a good Frenchman; he does not speak word of English.Hopefully, we will see each other more, but it is not essential. We now have a beautifully matured, adult friendship where it is easy to talk about anything because we feel totally at ease. There is not a single bitter note, there are no power games, there is nothing secret, there is nothing which detracts from the purity of it.46.Which of the following was NOT among the things that the two kids might have done in the woods?A.Going mushrooming.B. Hunting frogs.C. Making a campfire.D. Building a tree house.47.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word teased in paragraph 3?A.scolded.B. mocked.C. attacked.D. loved.48.Rene accepted that fact that he would have to be separated from his friend in away.A.realisticB. nonchalantC. moodyD. reluctant49.How can we describe the writer’s feeling when he learned that Rene would move away?A.The writer felt disappointed.B.The writer felt happy.C.The writer accepted the news peacefully.D.The writer felt extremely shocked an painful.50.What might be the nationality of the writer?A.The writer might be of French nationality.B.The writer might be of British nationality.C.The writer might be of German nationality.D.The writer might be of Italian nationality.Passage ThreeHuman needs seem endless. When a hungry man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when a manager gets a new sports car, a big house and pleasure boats dance into view.The many needs of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter appears. By the end of World War II, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the “life enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is, the feeding, comfort safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “luxury” items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of needs as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level?A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.51.According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and clothing only when .A.he has saved up enough moneyB.he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelterC.he has satisfied his hungerD.he has learned to build houses52.It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans .A.were very richB.lived in povertyC.had the good things on the first three levelsD.did not own automobiles53.Which of the following is NOT related to “physical satisfaction”?A.A successful career.B. A comfortable home.C. A good meal.D. A family car.54.The author tends to think that the fifth level .A.would be little better than the fourth levelB.may be a lot more desirable than the first fourC.can be the last and most satisfying levelD.will become attainable before the government takes actions55.What is the main concern of man on the fourth level?A.The more mental satisfaction, the better.B.The more physical satisfaction, the betterC.The more health and safety, the better.D.The more leisure, the better.Section 2 Short Answer Questions (10 points,2 points for each)Directions: Read the following passage and then, based on the information from the following passage, answer in your own words the questions which follow the passage and write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer sheet.It’s an annual argument. Do we or do we not go on holiday? My partner says nobecause the boiler could go, or the roof fall off, and we have no savings to save us. I say that you only live once and we work hard and what’s the point if you can’t go on holiday. The joy of a recession means no argument next year –we just won’t go.Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about money. What’s less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession — financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable. A recent research shows arguments about money were especially damaging to couples. Disputes were characterized by intense verbal aggression, tended to be repeated and not resolved, and made men, more than women, extremely angry.Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolizes, which may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different conceptions of what it is for,” he explains. “They will say it’s to save, to spend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something.“The biggest problem is that couples assume each other knows what is going on with their finances, but they don’t. There seems to be more of a taboo about talking about money than talking about death. But you both need to know what you are doing, who is paying what into the joint account and how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk abou t it.”56.What does the author say about going on holidays?57.What does the author mean by saying “money is known… to bring a relationship to its knees”(Line1 Para. 2)?58.What does the YouGov poll of 2000 people discover?59.What does Kim Stephenson believe?60.What does the author suggests at the end of the passage?Part III. Writing (60 MIN, 40 points)Directions: Read the following report, and then write an article (not a poem, short story or play) of about 400 words on the topic: Is Homeschooling a Better Way to Learn? You can also decide a title for your article.Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.Homeschooling —A Better Way to Learn?Homeschooling was traditionally used for students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their children at home due to dissatisfaction with the education system.Advocates of homeschooling believe children learn better when they are in a secure, loving environment. They point out that homeschooled children reportedly do just as well as those who have been in the classroom. Many psychologists see the home as the most natural learning environment. Parents who homeschool argue that they can monitor their children’s education and give them the attention that is lacking in a traditional school setting. Students can also pick and choose what to study and when to study, thus enabling them to learn at their own pace.In contrast, critics of homeschooling say that children who are not in the classroom miss out on learning important social skills because they have little interaction with their peers. Many critics of homeschooling have raised concerns about the ability of parents to teach their kids effectively. Many parents who homeschool have no teacher training and are not competent educators of all the subjects taught in schools.。
