Choose the word or phrase that can replace the underlined part so that the error is corrected.The Internet originated on American soil. In 1969, the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the US Defense Department established the world's first testing packet-switched network (PSN) to connect four universities on US soil. The world saw a remarkable expansion of the scale and number of Internet users from the late 1970s to the early 1980s. In September 1989, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) was founded with a grant from the US Department of Commence to administer the Internet terminal server. Over the past 40 years, the US has been dominating the world Internet as the core technique holder with an inherent advantage of being the cradle of the Internet.There are 13 terminal servers in the world to keep the Internet run 1 , with a master server and nine of the 12second 2 servers stationed in the US. In terms of technique, the network of a country will disappear from the world Internet if its domain name registry is blocked or deleted from the terminal server. This kind of conduct is not legallybinded 3 with the law of any country except ICANN. InApril 2004, Libya was seen 4 on the Internet for three days after the collapse of the domain name registry of the country "LY" caused by a domain administration dispute.Concerns about the US monopoly of the domain name server (DNS) system grew among other nations as much as their reliance on the Internet for issues ranging 5 politics and the economy to defense and the general society. Years ago, there was a proposal that the Internet is 6 administered by the United Nations or under international cooperation. The European Union insisted that the World Wide Web was 7 an international resource that should be jointly managed by all nations. Some developing countries pointed to 8 that at the early stage of Internet development, developed countries seized large amounts of domain names, leaving alimited few for them, and demanded a share with the US over Internet administration. American officials opposed to 9 the suggestion.The US Defense Strategy Review in March 2005 stated that Internet space should have the same prioritywith 10 continental, marine, aerial and outer space jurisdictions for the US to maintain a decisive superiority. A statement from Washington on June 30, 2005, made it clear that the US government would maintain its control on 11 the DNS indefinitely; stating that a transfer of its management to UN or international cooperative models would impede the free flow of information, leading 12 to easy manipulation of the Internet and make global supervision more difficult.At the same time, the US Congress passed a bill by a vote of 423 to zero urged 13 a manifesto by the White House that American control over Internet is inviolable. US Rep. John Taylor Doolittle, a Republican from California, said the United States invented the Internet and described 14 as a gift to the world based on American taxpayers' money. He said he opposed any move to transfer the country's control to the UN.The control of the Internet plays astrategical 15 role for US. Using the internet, the US can intercept information via the net, export US values and opinions, support a " Color Revolution", feed theoppositing 16 powers and rebels against anti-US governments, interfere 17 other countries' internalaffairs and make proactive attacks on enemy's communication and directing networks. James-Adams, a famous military forecaster,wrote 18 his book, The Next World War, these words: "The computer is the weapon for the future war and there is no virtual front line, while 19 the traditional battle and the byte will take the bullet's role to grab control of the air."US President Barack Obama repeatly 20 stressed the importance of the Internet during his campaign. He asked the relevant departments to assess the security of the American network, and to prepare 21 the implementation of information hegemony to continue the work of controlling the new generation of Internet Root Servers. The assessment report released by the US government on May29, 2009, said that cyberspace threats have become one of the most serious economic and military threats facing by 22 the United States. The report emphasized that the US must show the world they were seriously responding to the challenge. Against this background, Microsoft announced the closure of MSN services for Cuba, Iran, Syria, Sudan and the DPRK. But the world opinionconsiders 23 as information sanction instead of meeting a challenge.1.正确答案：run→running2.正确答案：second→secondary3.正确答案：binded→binding4.正确答案：seen→unseen5.正确答案：ranging→ranging from6.正确答案：is→be7.正确答案：was→is8.正确答案：9.正确答案：to→to去掉10.正确答案：with→as11.正确答案：on→over12.正确答案：leading→lead13.正确答案：urged→urging14.正确答案：described→后面加it15.正确答案：strategical→strategic16.正确答案：oppositing→opposition17.正确答案：interfere→后面加with正确答案：wrote→后面加in19.正确答案：while→as20.正确答案：repeatly→repeatedly21.正确答案：prepared→后面加for22.正确答案：by→by去掉23.正确答案：considers→后面加thisⅡ Cloze TestDirections: In the following two passages, there are 15 blanks in each passage representing the words that are missing from the contexts. You are to read the passage through before providing the missing word of each blank to complete the passage.PhilanthropyIt has become an American tradition that those who attain great wealth return some of it to the public through philanthropy. An early example of this was the generosity of Amos Lawrence of Massachusetts, a wealthy merchant who in the 1830s and afterwards contributed much money for famine relief in Ireland. He also donated generously to educational and other humanitarian causes.In the early years of the twentieth century several men who had amassed vast 1 likewise became great philanthropists.Andrew Carnegie, an exceptionally energetic man, 2 has begun working twelve hours a day when he was only fourteen yearsold, 3 one of the world's richest men by pioneering in the steel 4 . After his retirement in 1900 he devoted his time and his wealth to the 5 of free public libraries. He also set up foundations for medical research and 6 world peace. Carnegie's belief, as he expressed it in an essay,was 7 the wealthy person must "consider all surplus revenues 8 come to him simply as 'trust funds' which is strictly bound as a matter of 9 to administer in the manner best calculated to produce the most 10 results for the community—the man of wealth thus becoming themere 11 and agent for his poorer brethren."John D. Rockefeller, who also began as a poor boy,became 12 rich through oil refineries and other enterprises. In his 13 age, in the early 1900's, he beganto donate millions for beneficial 14 . The various Rockefeller Foundations support research as wellas 15 causes in the United States and in other parts ofthe world. Rockefeller funds are now fighting hunger through the so-called "green revolution," whereby new agricultural techniques have greatly multiplied the yield of food crops in Mexico, India, Pakistan, and parts of Africa.Through the Ford Foundation, and based on automobile profits, Henry Ford Ⅱ donated $500 million in 1950 to universities and hospitals for improving education and health. This likewise became a world-famous foundation, whose activities have spread far and wide. Some of this money was effectively spend fight cholera and typhus in far-off Nepal.1.正确答案：fortunes2.正确答案：who3.正确答案：became4.正确答案：industry5.正确答案：establishment6.正确答案：for7.正确答案：that8.正确答案：which9.正确答案：duty10.正确答案：beneficial11.正确答案：trustee12.正确答案：fabulously13.正确答案：old14.正确答案：undertaking15.正确答案：humanitarianWorld BankThe World Bank is one of the largest suppliers of development assistance. Its main goal is to improve living conditions for poor people throughout the world. Last year, it provided more than seventeen-thousand-million dollars in loans to developing countriesto help end poverty. The money went to efforts like debt reductionfor some of the poorest countries in the world. That program was designed to increase debt assistance and provide it faster than inthe past. As a result, twenty-three countries received debtassistance last year as compared to seven countries the year before.The World Bank does more than just 16 loans, however. It believes that continued poverty reductioncomes 17 investing in the people of a country—especially through education and health 18 . World Bank President James Wolfensohn announced one such program 19 this yearat the organization's yearly spring 20 in Washington. The "Education for All" plan is aimed at getting allchildren 21 the ages of five and eleven into early education. The World Bank plans to 22 the program soon in ten countries. Bank leaders will choose 23 that havestrong education reform plans but no money to establish them.The World Bank uses engineers, economists, publicpolicy 24 and social scientists to create these kinds of programs. These 25 also provide developing countries with the necessary 26 help to carry out the programs. Tenthousand people work for the 27 Bank. Eight thousand are based in Washington. The rest are spread 28 the world. The World Bank is owned by more than one-hundred-eighty 29 countries. Every country holds different shares which represent the positions and 30 of the members.The World Bank began as a much smaller group. It was established at an international conference in the United States in 1944. It has helped to make great progress in developing nations especially in the past twenty or so years. Bank officials say life expectancy in developing nations has increased and baby and child deaths have decreased. They also say more adults now can read than in the past.16.正确答案：provide17.正确答案：from18.正确答案：programs19.正确答案：ealier20.正确答案：meeting21.正确答案：between22.正确答案：establish23.正确答案：countries24.正确答案：experts25.正确答案：professionals26.正确答案：technical27.正确答案：World28.正确答案：around29.正确答案：member30.正确答案：interestsⅢ Reading ComprehensionMemoryBrains are different from computers, but the analogy can behelpful. Like the PC on your desk, your mind is equipped with twobasic types of memory: "working memory" for juggling information inthe present moment, and "long-term memory" for storing it over extended periods. Contrary to popular wisdom, our brains don't record everything that happens to us and then bury it until a hypnotist or a therapist helps us dredge it up. Most of what we perceive hoversbriefly in working memory, a mental play space akin to a computer's RAM, then simply evaporates. Working memory enables you to perform simple calculations in your head or retain phone numbers long enoughto dial them. And like RAM, it lets you analyze and invent things without creating a lasting record.Long-term memory acts more like a hard drive, physically recording past experiences in the brain region known as cerebral cortex. The cortex, or outer layer of the brain, houses a thicket of 10 billion vine—like nerve cells, which communicate by relaying chemical and electrical impulses. We can will things into long-term memory simply by rehearsing them. But the decision to store ordiscard a piece of information rarely involves any conscious thought. It's usually handled automatically by the hippocampus, a small, two-winged structure nestled deep in the center of the brain. Like thekey-board on your computer, the hippocampus serves as a kind of switching station. As neurons out in the cortex receive sensory information. They relay it to the hippocampus. If the hippocampus responds, the sensory neurons start forming a durable network. But without that act of consent, the experience vanishes forever.By storing only the information we're most likely to use, our brains make the world manageable. Perfect retention may sound like a godsend, but when the hippocampus gets overly permissive, the results can be devastating. At the other end of the spectrum stands impairments of the memory, which can be caused by brain surgery aswell as normal aging. Other memory busters include depression,anxiety and a simple lack of stimulation—all of which keep us from paying full attention to our surroundings. What, then, are the best ways to protect your memory? Obviously, anyone concerned aboutstaying sharp should make a point of sleeping enough and managing stress. And because the brain is at the mercy of the circulatory system, a heart-healthy lifestyle may have cognitive benefits as well.1. According to the passage, the working memory and the long-termmemory are respectively for ______.A.processing information and recording information.B.calculation and confirming the calculations.C.storing information and performing calculations.D.storing information and processing the storage.正确答案：D2. According to the first paragraph, which of the following is NOT true?A.what we are in contacts with may not be all stored in the the brain.B.what we are in contacts with are just short-lived in the brain.C.all of our immediate knowledge may be all ready for use.D.only some information in the working memory can be retrieved later.正确答案：C3. The hippocampus is compared to a keyboard because ______.A.only when information is related to the hippocampus can the sensory neurons start functioning.B.all the input of information can be functioned by the hippocampus.C.the hippocampus can transform all the information received into the cortex.D.only when the hippocampus is functioning can the information be used.正确答案：A4. What a human brain can remember and use largely depends on______.A.the cooperation between the cerebal cortex and the hippocampus.B.the cooperation between the cerebal cortex and the neurons.C.how the neurons and the hippicampus are working.D.how much effort a human being is made in storing received information.正确答案：A5. Which of the following is NOT true?A.All the information in the working memory can be stored in thelong-term memory.B.Only some of the information can be stored in the long-term memory.C.If the received information is not juggled, it may soon depart from the memory.D.All the information in the long-term memory is from the working memory.正确答案：AThe History of P & GIn 1837, the nation was gripped by financial panic, yet, Procter and Gamble launched their new enterprise, more concerned about how to compete with the 14 other soap and candle makers intheir city. Their calm in the midst of that economic storm reflected their forward-looking approach to the business—an approach that became the hallmark of Procter & Gamble.Later, they pioneered one of the nation's first profit-sharing programs and were among the first in American industry to invest in a research laboratory. By 1890, the fledgfing partnership between Procter and Gamble had grown into a multinational corporation. Nevertheless, P & G still had its eyes on the future.At that time, P & G was selling more than 30 different types of soap, including Ivory. Fueled by innovative advertising, including full color print ads in national magazines, consumers' demand for P & G soaps continued to grow. To meet this increasing demand, the Company began expanding its operations outside Cincinnati.Its research laboratory was as busy as its plants. Innovative new products were rolled out one after another—Ivory Flakes, a soap in flake form for washing clothes and dishes; Chipso, the first soap designed for washing machines; Dreft, the first household synthetic detergent—and the first all vegetable shortening that changed the way America cooked, Crisco.In 1945, P & G had become a nearly $350 million company. Its products were popular throughout the United States and Canada—and the Company had taken its first step toward developing an overseas business, with the acquisition of Thomas Hedley & Co., Ltd., in England.In 1946, P & G introduced Tide, its most important new product since Ivory. Tide was remarkably superior to other products on the market, and it quickly became an enormous success—so successful, infact, that it helped fund the Company's rapid growth not just into new product lines but also into new markets around the world.Today, Procter & Gamble is a truly global corporation. Since 1980, the company has quadrupled the number of consumers it can serve with its brands—about five billion people around the world. P & G now has operations in more than 80 countries and its products are sold in over 140 countries, making P & G one of the biggest and most successful consumer goods companies in the world.6. The accomplishment of P & G that make them stand out against their counterparts is largely due to ______.A.their future-oriented vision.B.their power to compete.C.the quality of their products.D.their harmonious cooperation.正确答案：A7. What elements are crucial to the sustained development of P & G?A.Vision, research and hard working.B.Wise investment, research laboratory and enough capital.C.Vision, profit-sharing programs and research.D.Vision, laboratory research and innovation.正确答案：D8. The phrase "the fledgling partnership" means that ______.A.very experienced business bodies work together.B.inexperienced but thriving business bodies work together.C.powerful business sectors work hand in hand.D.successful business lines make joined effort.正确答案：B9. P & G's smashing success in doing business is largely due to______.A.they have made joined efforts and adopted scientific approach.B.they have followed a well-knitted onward development approach.C.they have produced more than 30 varieties of products.D.they have successfully engaged themselves in advertising their products.正确答案：B10. What is more remarkable about the great success of P & G is that ______.A.they have not only turned out more varieties, but also placed much more emphasis on advertising their products.B.they have given much heed to their overseas development and placed much emphasis on advertising.C.they never stop turning out new products, nor do they stay satisfied.D.they have not only placed much emphasis on research and innovation but also keep eyes on the markets both at home and abroad.正确答案：D。

首先，根据题干主语来判断，横线上漏掉的词应该是能与about相搭配的实意动词。
通过这样的分析，我们无疑可排除某些选项词，进而降低选项词对思维的干扰度。
其次，继语句结构和语法分析之后就是对漏词词义的酌定。
就此而言，有两个语境成分明显暗示出漏词的意思应该和“犹豫不决”或“摇摆不定”的概念相关：一个是whether to take the job 中的whether，一个是谓语动词导致的结果，即第二分句she could not make a decision。
翻译资格考试英语 CATTI 二级笔译实务全真模拟题(一)(附参考译文)
CATTI 二级笔译实务全真模拟题（一）（附参考译文）Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points) Translate the following two passages into Chinese.Passage 1Although we now tend to refer to the various crafts according to the materials used to construct them-clay, glass, wood, fiber, and metal-it was once common to think of crafts in terms of function, which led to their being known as the “applied arts”. Approaching crafts from the point of view of function, we can divide them into simple categories: containers, shelters and supports. There is no way around the fact that containers, shelters, and supports must be functional. The applied arts are thus bound by the laws of physics, which pertain to both the materials used in their making and the substances and things to be contained, supported, and sheltered, These laws are universal in their application, regardless of cultural beliefs, geography or climate. If a pot has no bottom or has large openings in its sides, it could hardly be considered a container in any traditional sense. Since the laws of physics, not some arbitrary decision, have determined the general form of applied-art objects, they follow basic patterns, so much so that functional forms can vary only within certain limits, Buildings without roofs, for example, are unusual because they depart from the norm.Sensitivity to physical laws is thus an important consideration for the maker of applied-art objects. It is often taken for granted that this is also true for the maker of fine-art objects. This assumption misses a significant difference between the two disciplines. Fine-art objects are not constrained by the laws of physics in the same way that applied-art objects are. Because the primary purpose is not functional, they are only limited in terms of the materials used to make them. Sculptures must, for example, be stable, which requires an understanding of the properties of mass, weight distribution, and stress, Paintings must have rigid stretchers so that the canvas will be taut, and the paint must not deteriorate, crack, or discolor. These are problems that must be overcome by the artist because they tend to intrude upon his or herconception of the work. For example, in the early Italian Renaissance, bronze statues of horses with a raised foreleg usually had a cannonball under that hoof, This was done because the cannonball was needed to support the weight of the leg. In other words, the demands of the laws of physics, not the sculptor's aesthetic intentions, placed the ball there, That this device was a necessary structural compromise is clear from the fact that the cannonball quickly disappeared when sculptors leaned how to strengthen the internal structure of a statue with iron braces (iron being much stronger than bronze).【参考译文】英译汉:第一篇如今，人们往往根据工艺品的材质来称呼它们，比如陶土工艺品、玻璃工艺品、木制工艺品、纤维工艺品、金属工艺品等，但最初人们通常根据它们的功能将它们统称为“应用艺术”。

Most observers would not think a tiny new-build flat in a city centre oversupplied with similar homes would be a candidate for such a prize. But exclusive analysis' for The Times from the estate agent Savills shows how the decline in house prices since 2007 has driven up the headline yields in some areas, such as Nottingham, Merseyside and Manchester, when 6 fast-recovering prices have driven them down in Bristol, Edinburgh and Bournemouth.Amateur buy-to-let investors are commonly instructed to check the yield of an investment before commit 7 to buy. The yield is the proportion of the property's value that the owner makes back each year in rent, a higher yield implying a better returnfrom 8 the investment. Savills' analysis of data supplied by the property search website shows how the yield is, on average, as many 9 as 6.04 per cent for a one-bedroom flat and as low as 3.87 per cent for a four-bedroom house. Lucian Cook, a director of research at Savills, says: "The yieldvery 10 depends on the type of property that you are looking at."Amateur investors with access to cash are enjoying a window of opportunity while 11 professional rivals struggle to get credit from risk-averse lenders. But the injunction to mimic these professionals by analysing yields can obscure the truth that yields rise when property values fall. An investor who chases high yields may risk in 12 buying properties with depressed pricesthat have no chance of recovering quickly, while overlooking homesthat are likely to undergo a sustainable 13 increase in value.Aspiring investors who would prefer to focus on potentialcapital gains over the long term are being thwarted by banks and building societies, which 14 refuse to lend unless applicants can show a rent that is large in comparison to theproperty's value and will generously more 15 covermortgage payments, as 16 if the landlord suffers a long "void" period with no tenant. Few lenders are much minded to bet on capital growth after the sudden slowdown in the housing market that began in 2007. But these lenders—and buyers who take their advice—risk overlooking the new two-tier market which 17 sought-after homes in key areas have recovered to boomtime highs and will continue to perform well. Elsewhere, values are languishing.Those hoping to join into 18 the ranks of the buy-to-let investors might be tempted to buy into those markets with low-cost homes and a ready army of frustrating 19 buyersforced to stay in the rental market.The buy-to-let boom was built on debt. Remember the savvy landlords who boasted, as house prices soared,building 20 up portfolios by mortgaging and then remortgaging to release the funds for ever more homes? But just as banks are easing restrictions on someparticular 21 solvent owner-occupiers, they areincreasingly tight-fisted when buy-to-let investors apply for funds. Lenders' suspicious 22 about buy-to-let prospects comejust as agents predict that the departure of the "accidental landlord"—or the homeowners who rented their property out becausethey could not sell—will bolster the market and help to boost rents, especially in the later 23 part of the year.Yet despite of 24 these conditions, it's notamateurs who are suffering—even if 25 longstanding landlords with carefully managed portfolios and an impeccablefinancial record are finding lenders almost closed for business. Will rates rise—making standard deals unaffordable—more quickly than new entrants willing to lend to buy-to-let investors can enter the market? For now, the investment market, like the mainstream, is one inwhich 26 with cash are king.6.正确答案：when→while7.正确答案：commit→committing8.正确答案：from→on9.正确答案：many→high10.正确答案：very→后面加much11.正确答案：while→as12.正确答案：in→in去掉13.正确答案：sustainable→sustained14.正确答案：which→who15.正确答案：more→more去掉16.正确答案：as→even17.正确答案：which→in which18.正确答案：into→into去掉19.正确答案：frustrating→frustrated20.正确答案：building→of building21.正确答案：particular→particularly22.正确答案：suspicious→suspicion23.正确答案：later→latter24.正确答案：of→of去掉25.正确答案：if→if去掉26.正确答案：which→后面加thoseSection 2 Reading ComprehensionThe Sense of HumorBiologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a universe which appears to be utterly devoid of humor, we enjoy this supreme luxury. And it is a luxury, for unlike any other bodily process, laughter does not seem to serve a biologically useful purpose. In a divide world, laughteris a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor. Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the world-wide popularity of Charlie Chaplin's early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from. As that great commentator on human affairs, Dr. Samuel Johnson, once remarked, 'Men have been wise in very different modes; but they have always laughed in the same way.'A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lop-sided view of things.This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Humanpain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into total despair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take the wind outof pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satiristlike Swift writes about war in Gulliver's Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they can't agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish.The sense of humor must be singled out as man's most important quality because it is associated with laughter. And laughter, in turn, is associated with happiness. Courage, determination, initiative—these are qualities we share with other forms of fife. But the senseof humor is uniquely human. If happiness is one of the great goals of life, then it is the sense of humor that provides the key.1. It seems that the author of this writing thinks that ______A.the universe and the world is full of humor and humans are the most humorous.B.the universe does not have as much humor as the people can enjoy.C.animals do not have humor and they cannot laugh whereas humanbeings do and can.D.animals do not have humor, though they can laugh the same as men.正确答案：C[解析] 第一段的主题句已明显交待了这样的一个论点：only men can laugh and use satire.2. The statement in the first paragraph that "human relations maybe plagued by ideological factions and political camps" is meant to say that ______A.people may suffer from the fierce struggle between political platforms of parties.B.people may be bewildered by different opinions of differentpolitical parties.C.the ideiological differences between political parties may harm human relations.D.the political parties and their spheres may bring some disease to human relations.正确答案：A[解析] 文中提到的be plagued by ideological factions and political camps的意思是：人深受政治争斗所害，进而成为政治分裂的牺牲品。

翻译二级笔译综合能力分类模拟题3
翻译二级笔译综合能力分类模拟题3Ⅰ Reading ComprehensionSigmund FreudIf there is a single name in all psychology（江南博哥） that is synonymous with personality theory, it is Sigmund Freud. Born on the Continent in 1856, he spent his early years as a member of a tightly knit family in Central Europe. Reportedly, his youth was marked by serious personality problems, including severe bouts with depression and anxiety states. These difficulties apparently started him on a journey of discovery aimed at understanding the roots of personality and gaining insight into the relationship between personality structure and actual behavior. It was to be a long and productive professional journey, beginning with his graduation from medical school at the University of Vienna in 1881. His career extended all the way to the beginning of World War Ⅱ in 1939.After completing his medical studies, he became increasingly interested in diseases of the nervous system. Instead of continuing to look for physical and physiological reasons, he shifted his attention toward a new arena, the mind. If diseases such as hysteria, high-anxiety states, and deep personal depression were not connected to a physical cause, then the usual types of medical treatment, from actual operations on nerves to prescriptions for drugs, were bound to fail. Such activities were merely treating symptoms. Often, after these treatments, patients simply developed a new set of symptoms. As a result of these ideas, Freud decided to study with Joserf Breuer, a physician famous for his treatment of hysteria through hypnosis. Freud found that inducing hypnotic trances was somewhat limited as a treatment of choice. Some patients could not be successfully hypnotized and others simply shifted symptoms.Freud began to experiment with unique treatment methods, primarily asking patients to free-associate and to report on their dreams. In some ways this appeared an outrageous procedure for a physician to use. Imagine Freud asking a patient to stretch out on his soon-to-be-famous couch, then suggesting that he or she say whatever came to mind. (The first rule of psychoanalysis was to speak out and not repress any hidden thoughts). All the while Freud himself was sitting behind the couch quietly jotting down notes, rarelyspeaking. Such a procedure seemed the work of a mad genius at best or of a charlatan at worst. Not only did Freud break with the traditions of his time completely, but he even went so far as to carry on psychoanalytically oriented treatment via the mail to the father of a child patient. In the famous case of little Hans, he successfully treated a young boy by writing to the father and explaining step-by-step how to cure the patient of a severe case of horse phobia. Since horses provided most transportation in those days, Hans' malady can be compared to a child who today would run and hide at the sight of an automobile.Always an innovator, Freud continued to evolve creative treatment techniques throughout his life; however, his major contribution was his insight into the causes of behavior. Through hours of quiet listening to patients' free associations and dreams, he began to construct a theory of personality. He heard the same themes repeated over and over again and in time created his theory of infant sexuality. Adult patients were helped to gradually recallearly feelings, thoughts, and sexual fantasies from their childhood. To suggest to the world that innocent little children had such sexual feelings was almost too much for the Victorian age to accept. Nevertheless, despite the enormous criticism generated and the departure of some of his closest associates, Freud continued to expand on the importance of sexuality as a determinant of personality during the early years of life. His three-part typology of the mind—the id, the ego, and the superego—combined with his three layers of conscious, preconscious, and unconscious led to his famous dictumthat all human behavior was over determined. His clinical approaches demonstrated that our present behavior is related to a whole series of causes. The task of the psychologist is to uncover great amounts of psychic material and then gradually help the patient understand how many of the factors from the past had been regulating his or her present behavior. In fact, Freud said that the psychologist is like an archaeologist-carefully and systematically digging through the past in order to slowly uncover the intrapsychic traumas of a person of early history. Here he found the structure of the past influencing present behavior; here was the repository of events, feelings, disconnected ideas, fantasies rooted in the unconscious.The unconscious, according to Freud, is the key to humanbehavior. Even though individuals may try to suppress or repress inner thoughts and feelings and push them into the unconscious, the repressed material sneaks out in disguised form. Slips of the tongue, unfortunate accidents, forgetting important events, getting names of familiar people mixed up, and similar people mixed up, and similar unusual human behavior are not just incidental activities or randomly determined. He was able to show how such events are instead a direct expression of an individual's unconscious motivation. For example, a guilt-ridden criminal might "accidentally" leave a trail a mile wide from the scene of a crime in order to bring about his own punishment. Other examples abound in everyday life.The insights of Freud changed our level of understanding in dramatic ways. It has been said that the greatest contribution was to end, once and for all, the age of innocence. Also, some have remarked that it would have been impossible to understand the horrors of the twentieth century without his theories of why and how people react. These theories demonstrated the importance of both sexual and aggressive human drives. The adverse interpersonal relationships so common in this age are current reminders of this insight. The desolation created by two major world wars, the total annihilation of innocent populations, the use of ultimate weapons from A-bombs to gas chambers—these products of a so-called advanced civilization can be better understood through his views. It is to be hoped that his insights will teach the world the importance of recognizing and gradually developing control over these destructive human drives. Ironically, he spent many of his last years as a captive of the most demonic human being of this century in Nazi Germany. His final year of life was spent in England in 1939. He watched the world he knew collapse once again in a paroxysm of hatred, tragic testimony to his deepest fears for humanity.1. According to the passage, Freud's childhood's severe bouts had actually paved the way for ______.A.his final discovery of personalityB.his becoming a pychologistC.the birth of personality theoryD.the relationship between personality structure and actual behavior正确答案：C虽说A，B，D均和提问相关联，但只有答案C最接近，因为“这样的童年”是导致弗洛伊德从事人格及性格研究的主要因素。
