So what else is new? But in Japan that familiar aversion has reached alarming proportions. About 50,000 unhappy youngsters a year (out of a total school-age population of 20 million) suffer what Japanese behavioral experts call school phobia. School phobia is distinguished from other common childhood and adolescent psychological and emotional disorders by the patient’s reaction to, and fear of, the idea of going to school.Typically, it begins with fever, sweating, headaches, and diarrhoea; it often progresses to complete physical inertia, depression, and even autism.A doctor on a house call found a thirteen-year-old Tokyo boy who had not been to school in more than a year. He lives in a darkened room, receiving his food through a slot under the door and lashing out violently at his parents if they came too close. Once the boy was placed in a psychiatric ward treatment, he again became an open, seemingly healthy youngster. When he was sent home, however, his symptoms returned, and he was never able to go back to school.School phobia can be cured, usually with tranquilizers and psychotherapy. Rehabilitation takes about two years. Yet victims who are put in clinics or mental wards often prefer to stay there. Their day is filled with activities like knitting, painting, music, free time, and sports. Nurses try to create a familiar environment in which the children can feel that they are taking a certain amount of responsibility for their lives and can find some sense of self-worth.The causes of school phobia are not precisely known. In a few severe cases brain disorders have been diagnosed. A more common factor may be the overprotective Japanese mother who, some psychiatrists say, leaves her children ill-prepared to face the real world. Many researchers point to the unrelenting pressures for success faced by both children and adults in Japan, where stress-related disorders of all sorts are common. In addition, the Japanese educational system is one of the world’s most rigid, suppressing a child’s individual creative and analytical development. Says Dr. Hitoshi Ishikawa, head of the department of psychosomatic medicine at Tokyo University, “The problem won’t be cured until Japanese society as a whole is cured of its deep-rooted social ills.”1. The author chooses to write about school phobia because .(A)it is something new in Japan.(B)Most children have developed the disease(C)Its symptoms are not easily perceptible(D)A n alarming proportion of Japanese children suffer from it2. Which of the following is the purpose of the second paragraph?(A)To show that school phobia can be cured.(B)To suggest a way to deal with school phobia.(C)To describe the cause of school phobia.(D)T o present a typical case of school phobia.3. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A)School phobia, which is widespread in many countries, is no cause foralarm.(B)The problem of school phobia in Japan can not be solved unless it getsrid of its social evils.(C)Despite school phobia the Japanese educational system remains on ofthe best in the world.(D)U nrelenting pressures in the Japanese society contribute greatly tosuccess.4. From the last paragraph, we know that the causes of school phobia .(A)can be easily determined(B)are complex and manifold(C)lie exclusively in the Japanese educational system(D)o riginate from the Japanese way of bringing up children5. Th e world “unrelenting” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to .(A) unreasoning (B) continuous(C) limitless (D) unpleasantQuestions 6~10I left hospital in a taxi on the tenth day with Octavia in my arms and Lydia by my side. I was excited at the thought of getting home and having my baby to myself, but the cold of the outside air must have startled her, for she began to scream and screech violently in the taxi, and when we got home I did not quite know what to do. In hospital she had always been so quiet and sweet. I laid her down in her basket, but the mattress was a different shape from the hospital cot, and she looked strange and uncomfortable and screamed all the more fiercely. She looked odd, too, in her own Viyella nighties, after the regulation garments she had worn all her life until that afternoon. She went on and on crying, and I began to think that she would never adapt to real life. Lydia was getting almost as worried as I was, and after a while she said, as we both sate miserably and watched this small furious person, “Why don’t you feed her? That would shut her up, wouldn’t it?”I looked at my watch; it was half past four.“It’s not time to feed her yet,” I said. “In hospital, we had to feed them on the dot at five.”“Oh,” said Lydia, “half an hour one way or the other can’t make much difference.”“Don’t you think so?” I said. “But then she’ll wake half an hour early at thenext feed, and the next, and the next, and then what will I do?”“It wouldn’t matter, would it?”“I don’t know. I somehow feel thins would get all muddled and never get straight again. She was good and reasonable in hospital. And then she’ll get confused, and how will she ever know when it’s night time? How will she ever learn that it’s night?”“I should feed her,” said Lydia. “It looks to me as though she’s going to have a fit.”I didn’t think she would have a fit, but I couldn’t stand the sound of her crying, so I picked her out and fed her, and she became quiet at once, and fell asleep afterwards looking as though her mattress and nightdress were very comfortable after all. On the other hand, she did wake half an hour early at the next feed, and went on and on waking earlier, until we worked right back round the clock, for the truth was that she never went four hours but only three and a half. Looking back on it, it doesn’t seem to matter at all, but it seemed very important at the time. I remember. It took her ages, moreover, to learn about night and day, and in the end I concluded that they and been giving her secret bottles in the night at the hospital.However, on the whole, things worked out very well. I had a subsidized home help to begin with, and after a fortnight or so this woman whom Lydia had discovered, an amiable fat lady named Mrs Jennings, came in two days a week while dashed off to the library between feeds. Mrs Jennings adored babies, and I found that all her chat little darling tiny things, and where’s here little tootsie, fell quite naturally and indeed gratefully upon my ears.6. Octavia looked odd to her mother because .(A)the Viyella nighties were newly bought(B)her nightie was the wrong size(C)her clothes weren’t her usual ones(D)t he mattress was bigger than the one in the cot7. Why did Lydia suggest feeding the baby?(A)She found it was almost feeding time.(B)She obviously didn’t like the noise.(C)She could see Octavia was hungry.(D)S he believed it was better to feed her more.8. The mother didn’t want to feed the crying baby because the thought .(A)it was too early to feed her(B)the baby wanted to be fed at five(C)the baby couldn’t be hungry at the moment(D)i t would stop the baby sleeping at night9. The mother believed that in the hospital .(A)they had told her all the truth(B)they had confused the baby(C)the baby had been underfed at night(D)t here were things she hadn’t been told10. We learn from the passage that Mrs. Jennings .(A)first came in on a fortnight’s trial(B)helped the author with the baby(C)was found by Lydia in the library(D)w as not qualified for baby-sittingQuestions 11~15When the television is good, nothing—not the theatre, not the magazines, or newspapers—nothing is better. But when television is bad, nothing is worse. In invite you to sit down it front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there without a book, magazine, newspaper, or anything else to distract you and keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that you will observe a vast wasteland. You will see a procession of game shows, violence, audience-participation shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, more violence, sadism, murder, Western badmen, Western goodmen, private eyes, gangster, still more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials that scream and cajole and offend. And most of all, boredom. True, you will see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, try it.Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs to deepen the children understatanding of children in other lands? Is there no room for a children’s news show explaining something about the world for them at their level of understanding？Is there no room of reading the great literature of the past, teaching them the great traditions of freedom?There are some fine children’s shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your conscience and see whether you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guard so many hours each and every day.There are many people in this great country, and you must serve all of us. You will get no argument from me if you say that, given a choice between a Western and a symphony, more people will watch the Western. I like Westerns and private eyes, too—but a steady diet for the whole country is obviously not in the public interest. We all know that people would more often prefer to be entertained than stimulated or informed. But your obligations are not satisfied if you look only to popularity as a test of what to broadcast. You are not only in show business; you are free to communicate ideas as well as to give relaxation. You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation’s whims—you must also serve the nation’s needs. The people own the air. They own it as much in prime evening time as they do at six o’clock in the morning. For every hour that the people give you—you owe them something. I intend to see that your debt is paid with service.11. The word “wasteland” (para.1) is used to describe .(A) western badlands (B) average television programs(C) TV film studios (D) theatrical plays12.C oncerning programs for children, it may be inferred that the authorbelieves that suchprograms should .(A) include no cartoons at all(B) include cultural and educational elements(C) be presented without commercial interruption(D) not deal with the Old West13.

Which of the following is NOT suggested in the passage(A)The needs of minorities must be met by television.(B)TV programs should be not only entertaining but also informative.(C)Violence is not a good ingredient for children’s television show.(D)C hildren’s television programs are uniformly terrible.15. The passage is most probably part of .(A) a scientific report (B) a newspaper editorial(C) a public speech (D) an academic paperQuestions 16~20With rapid growth identified as the most pressing of global population problems, the scene shifts immediately to villages in rural Kenya or urban slums in Karaas or bedrooms in Sedale where couples are making decisions about their reproductive behavior. Unlike other global issues which can be shaped directly by the actions of national and international power brokers, resolution of the problems posed by the magnitude and pace of contemporary population growth in the world ultimately depends upon the actions and behavior of a very large number of individual actors. Rapid population growth is the direct result of regular decistions made in private by literally many millions of persons throughout the world.Hence, we are all actors in the population drama. Each of us has the potential to aggravate the problem of rapid growth just as each of us can change the distribution of populations simply by moving. Population trends therefore represent nothing more than the combined decisions of many individuals, couples, and families. And, because these decisions are shaped and conditioned by commonly held values, goals, and aspirations, there are patterns to them and the actors appear to follow the broad outlines of a script.It is then evident that efforts to decrease the rate of population growth must eventually influence the decisions and behavior of many millions of couples if they are to be successful. Values and attitudes—the script that guides this behavior—must be a altered. To be even more specific, it means that couples, overwhelmingly poor and predominantly rural, in Africa, Asia, and Latin America where population growth is so high, must choose to limit the number of their children to fewer than three and must have the means to accomplish their goal. Similarly, couples in Europe, North America, and other low-fertility regions must continue to maintain their present patterns of having small families. Each couple must stick to its decision for some twenty to thirty years, or throughout their reproductive life span. In the economically less-developed world, this decision will be one that stands in stark contrast to those made by their parents and to the weight of cultural tradition.16. It can be concluded from the passage that .(A)large families may be considered as a heavy burden by the rural poor(B)the actions of national and international power brokers have animportant effect upon the decision made by the rural poor(C)the actions of those with the highest fertility, the rural poor, ultimatelydetermine the rate of population growth(D)h aving large families had more advantages than disadvantages in thosepoor areas17. The word “aggravate” (para 2) is closest in meaning to “”.(A) make clear (B) encounter(C) settle (D) make serious18. According to the author, the most effective way to decrease the rate ofpopulation growth is .(A)by making it a national policy that each couple must not give birth tomore than three children(B)by exerting more international pressure upon those high-fertility regions(C)by modifying the widely held values which guide the actions of manyindividuals and couples(D)b y providing the rural poor with means for limiting the family size19. It is obvious that the author of the passage .(A)shows indifference to the situation in the developed countries(B)is very concerned about global population problems(C)feels confident that the problem of population growth can be soonresolved(D)i s pessimistic about the future of those high-fertility20. The author has written the passage mainly for .(A) general readers (B) power brokers(C) economists (D) decision makersQuestions 21~25Sixty percent of all ethnic minorities in Britain live in London. Ethnic minorities only make up a small fraction of Britain’s population as a whole, but coming to London you could quite easily be mistaken for thinking there were many more. I have taken this for granted having grown up with this fantastic diversity of culture, background and influence. I have people all around me who talk with varying accents, speak different languages, share distinct foods and celebrate special festivals. However, London is far from being without its racial problems.The Campaign Against Racism and Fascism (CARF), a London based group, tells me that there is little doubt that, with the massive upsurge of xenophobia against asylum-seekers too, the fallout is affecting anyone perceived to be foreign or different. Recent attacks on black people have a ferocity that appalls police and community organizers a like. On March 4th this year, a 19-year-old Sudanese student, unconcernedly chatting to his white friend on a bus traveling through Wardsworth in south London, was suddenly stabbed in the stomach three times by a white youth brandishing a knife.Police investigations on this and other racist attacks have left many doubting the police’s supposed commitment to tackling r acial crime. Some say it has all been talk about target indicators with few results on the ground. But on March 24th this year, the Met. Police’s Racial and Violent Crimes T ask Force, drawing on the slow, painstaking intelligence on racial harassment gathered by their 32 Community Safety Units, carried out its first large-scale operation. In dawn raids on homes in all over London, one hundred people were arrested for offenses including racially aggravated criminal damage, grievous bodily harm,distributing racist literature and threats to kill. Over thirty people have been charged with racial offenses.Every year on our August public holiday, London, especially Notting Hill, comes alive for the Carnival. This celebration of variety, difference and the end of slavery—where I have seen people of all backgrounds, mixing, laughing and dancing together—is, I hope, the future of inter-racial relations in London. 20.The word “this” in “I have taken this for granted” (para. 1) refers to which ofthe following?(A) Sixty percent of all ethnic minorities in UK live in London.(B) Minorities only constitute a small part of UK’s population.(C) There are more minority people in Britain than it appears.(E)It is unwise for many more to come to London.21. The killing of the Sudanese student is to illustrate .(A)the brutality of attacks on black people(B)the fallout affecting anyone in poverty(C)the traffic problems in south London(D)t he unconcerned attitude of police23. The word “xenophobia” (para. 2) means “.”(A) partiality (B) arbitariness(C) discrimination (D) antipathy24. The word “intelligence” (para. 3) is closest in meaning to “.”(A) mentality (B) aptitude(C) information (D) interpretation25. What is the main topic of this passage?(A)The increasing rate of crime in London.。

Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.It is common knowledge that computers can also produce something stupid, as some(1) put it, GIGO, or ’garbage in, garbage out’. This means that if inaccurate information is(2) a computer, the machine will produce the wrong information(3).The reason for this is that computers cannot think (4).

虽然我们在此所作的演讲很快便会被人们遗忘，但是我们在此的作为却能改变世界。
//我国社会制度和政治制度在许多方面都与贵国的社会制度和政治制度不同。
这源于我们不同的经历和不同的传统。
//鉴于我们有着截然不同的历史、地理和文化，很难想象我们会对的有问题都有一致的看法。
但是对世界和平的基本需求，我们的看法是一致的。
//Passage 2:与美国人谈判并无特别的样式。
谈判的方式视业务不同而不同，取决于参与谈判的人员。
//然而，有些特点在绝大多数美国商务谈判人员中相当普遍。
//譬如，美国人往往直截了当，为明确商务术语的定义而咄咄逼人、锱铢必较。
//虽然美国人享有决策果断的声誉，但是，在公司着手进行主要或重大项目时，决策并非总是果断的。
因此，你也要做好准备进行冗长的谈判。

People used to go shopping only during their holidays, but nowadays the consumption fashion has been diversified. //Changes also occurred stealthily in the field of recreational consumption. For their holiday recreational consumption, people are no longer satisfied with the traditional practices of going dancing or playing bowling. //Instead, people choose to go to libraries reading or go to museums with their family members. The culture- related recreational consumption is gradually gaining currency.Passage 2:According to the statistics from the housing authority, prices of China’s houses averaged at 2,226 yuan a square meter last year, 6 percent up over the year before. //Houses in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou ranked the most expensive across the nation, with prices exceeding 3,400 yuan per square meter. Houses in and around downtown areas in the city center are more expensive. //The sales reports of the houses sold in the above mentioned three cities show that last yearthe growth of China’s overall housing market w as obvious mainly in the first six months. In the second half- year, the growth slowed down. //Due to increasing new projects finished in the second six months, stockpile of unsold houses rose by over 7 percent. I believe the increase in sales total this year will to some extent slow down.口译题录音文字稿:Part ADirections: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English.

Though what we say here will soon be forgotten, what we do here will change the world. //We have a social and political system which differs in many respects from your own. It is the result of different experiences and a different tradition. //Given our distinct histories, geographies and cultures, it is inconceivable that we could see eye to eye on all issues. However, we do agree on the fundamental need for world peace.Passage 2:There is no particular style to American negotiations. The way the negotiations are conducted will vary from one business to another and will depend upon the individuals involved. //However, in spite of such difference, there are certain characteristics that appear to be fairly common to most American business negotiators.//For example, Americans tend to be straight- forward, aggressive and pushy for clear- cut definitions of business terms. //Although Americans have a reputation for making quick decisions, this is not always true when a corporation is involved in a major venture or a large project.

上海中级口译历年真题
SECTION 1 LISTENING TEST 45 minutesPart A Spot DictationDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE.Now the location of your college. Some colleges are in the centre of huge cities, some in the suburb. And some are surrounded by fields and woods. Where your college is located will be important to your extra-curricular life. The advantage of an urban college is that there are many exciting things to do off campus. Compared to a rural campus, there are more movies, plays, churches, restaurants, discos, museums and music. There is probably good public transportation. You are near airports, trains and several highways, making weekend or vacation trips to other places much easier. All of these mean that off campus excitement is easy to reach and doesn't require a lot of planning. This can be an important part of a college education and of your growth. But this easily available entertainment can also tempt you away from your books. The disadvantages of an urban college can be expense and a lack of peace and quiet. Off campus living in the city is almost always more expensive. Even if you live at school, you will still eat and shop off campus often, probably, more than you would at a rural campus. Many of those wonderful, cultural events cost money and are hard to pass up. If you are moving to the city from the country, be prepared for unexpected expenses. and advantage of a rural college is the relax and often beautiful setting. Rural colleges may have much more peaceful and cleaner air. And campus activities will probably be more important in your extra-curricular life. This doesn’t mean that nothing happens on campus in small towns. Things do. But they are more likely to be connected with school. Rural colleges are often near good spots for outdoor activities, mountains, lakes and beaches. If you have any interest in outdoor activities, this is a good place to learn more. The disadvantages of the rural college can be isolation, boredom and the difficulty of adjusting to a more relaxed life if you come from a big city, life at a small rural college can become very in groan.Part B Listening ComprehensionI. StatementsDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken ONLY ONCE, and you will not find them written on the paper; so you must listen carefully. When you hear a statement, read the answer choices and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you have heard. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.1. Why bother to call Jack and tell him about our plan? You will see him at lunch.2. Since you said you totally agreed with Tom’s views, you ought to have stood up for him in the argument at the meeting yesterday afternoon.3. At the rate of its being used, the copier is not going to make it thought the rest of the year, though it is supposes to be good for 5 years.4. The latest inflation figure was issued today: The current inflation rate is 3.5 %. That’s 1% up on last year.5. There is a great deal of concern today about the problem of scientific illiteracy and shortcomings in the teachings of science. More funds are needed in this respect.6. It’s smart to dress warm while it’s cold outside. But colds are caused by viruses and not cold weather. Washing your hands is a good way to avoid catching many viruses.7. It’s a very nurturing environment. The general manager has encouraged me to push my abilities and grow. And I am honored the company keeps renewing my contract. 8. In team sports such as volleyball, team work is much more than just hitting the ball over the net. The same is ture of business dealings in a company.9. From champs to chumps.

Since you bought 85 chairs last month, naturally this time we can offer you a discount of 10% for this model at our lowest price of 45 dollars each.II. Talks and ConversationsDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear several short talks and conversations. After each of these, you will hear a few questions. Listen carefully because you will hear the talk or conversation and questions ONLY ONCE. When you hear a question, read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 11~14W: Jack, tell me about yourself.M: I was born in LA. But my family is from China. My father came to the US to study. He got a PHD in computer science. And he stayed on as a professor at a college in California.W: Is your mother from China, too?M: No, my mom is from here. She’s Asian-American. Her folks came to the US during the 19th century. In fact, one of her great-grandfathers actually helped to build the first railroad across the United States in the 1860s. What about you?W: Well, I’m a third-generation Mexican-American. My grandparents were born in Vera Cruz. And they immigrated to this country a long time ago. We still have a lot of relatives in Mexico.M: Do you keep in touch with them?W: We visit whenever we can.M: By the way, how’s your Spanish?W: It’s pretty good. We speak it at home most of the time. Do you speak Chine se? M: Yeah, I’m quite fluent. And I’m now learning to write it. I think someday I might be back in China and take up my career there.Questions:11. What does the man’s father do for a living?12. What does the man say about his mother?13. According to the woman, why can she speak very good Spanish?14. What is the man doing now?Questions 15~18Most of us use oil in some way. And it is difficult to imagine the modern world without oil. But oil is not easy to find and get out of the earth, as it is trapped deep down in the ground. We must first study the rocks carefully. When we think that the rocks in a certain place may contain oil, we will build a metal tower in the location, either on the land or on the sea. This metal tower is called a derrick. The derrick is equipped with oil-drilling machinery. The machine will cut a narrow hole down into the ground. Meanwhile, a steel pipe is pushed down to stop the sides from falling and to keep out water. At last, if we have judged correctly, the oil would rush up the pipe with great force. This is basically how an oil well is set up. Oil, as we can see, is obtained more easily than coal. For coal, very often, we must dig it from a mine and have it sent out to the ground surface. But for oil, it rushes up a pipe. If an oil well is made near the middle of the oil field, then natural gas can be obtained. In parts of the world, such gas is often sent through pipes to distant towns and cities, so that it can be used like coal gas in houses and factories.Questions:15. Why is it difficult to find oil?16. What is a derrick?17. Why does the speaker say that oil is obtained more easily than coal?18. According to the speaker, what can be obtained when an oil well is made near the middle of the oil field?Questions 19~22W: Good evening, Mr. Smith. It’s nice to meet you and your boy in such nice and cozy weather. Is John going to school this year?M: Yes. We are thinking of sending him to a private boarding school instead of the local state school.W: Really? Well, I wouldn’t dream of sending my little boy away to some strange institution for month on end every year. It will break my heart every time.M: I don’t think so. I would say that a boarding school education is good for children because it teaches them to have confidence in themselves. In a boarding school, they can learn to be more independent of themselves and less dependent on their parents. W: But not every child can afford to go to a private school. My nephew only went to his local state school and he’s just bee n awarded a scholarship to study classics at Cambridge.M: Anyway, the private school is more animative and open-minded in teaching children to learn. You will get the value of your money, and this is worthwhile.W: Still, I don’t know what I’ll do with my little boy next year. I don’t want him to go to that big new school. The children of all the common people in the area go there. M: Well, they are closing all the other schools. If you don’t like the new state school, you’ll just have to pay to send him to a private school, won’t you?Questions:19. According to the man, what is good about a private boarding school?20. Why does the woman mention her nephew in the conversation?21. Which of the following can be concluded from the conversation?22. What is the woman worried about?Questions 23~26Earthquakes are violent, destructive and unpredictable. The overall history of earthquakes leads to one general rule. The more time that has passed since an earthquake, the bigger the chance one will strike. Scientists therefore use information about past earthquakes to guess probabilities about future earthquakes.For example, they say that within the next 30 years, there is a 60 percent probability that an earthquake will hit somewhere in southern California. But exactly where or when is a mystery. In at least one case, an earthquake in northern china has been predicted by paying attention to clues from natureIn china, earthquakes have been studied for nearly 4,000 years. And there are records of more than 9,000 earthquakes, going back to the year 1831BC. The official earthquake records of the state of California only go back to 1950. In their long hard look earthquakes, the Chinese have observed many things. Before an earthquake, animals start to act strangely. The ground changed in shape, and earth’s magnetic fields get stronger in the earthquake area. The water in wild bubbles up, and then returns to its normal level. Also, a series of small earthquakes can mean that a big quake is on its way. The Chinese use these clues in 1974 to make the first successful prediction of an earthquake. The United States geological survey, on the other hand, has never predicted a major earthquake.Questions:23. What is the general rule about the occurrence of an earthquake?24. According to the speaker, which area is likely to be hit by an earthquake within the next 30 years?25. How long have the Chinese studied earthquakes?26. Which of the following is not a clue that is used by the Chinese to predict an earthquake?Questions 27~Man: How did you like the fireworks last night?Woman: I really didn’t enjoy them too much. There was such a big crowd that we couldn’t get very close.Man: I thought you were going early.Woman: We did. But even though we got there on 7 o’clock, the park was already jammed. It was so crowed that we had a hard time finding a place even to stand. Man: That’s too bad because the fireworks were really spectacular.Woman: What did you do? How did you manage to get a good view?Man: We went early. We decided to have a picnic dinner in the park, so we’d be sure to get there early enough to find a good spot.Woman: I guess that’s what I should do next Fourth of July.Man: We found a place on top of some rocks where nobody could get in front of us. Woman: Wasn’t it pretty hot? The temperature was up in the 80s yesterday.Man: It was nice and cool where we were because there were a lot of trees right behind us. So we had some shade to sit in.Woman: What did you do about going home? I’ve never been pushed and shoved so much in my whole life.Man: Well, they rent extra buses until midnight, so we didn’t have any problem. Woman: I think you were lucky.Man: It wasn’t luck. It was good planning. You have to come with us next year. Woman: I don’t know whether I want to tr y it again next year. Even though I like fireworks, I don’t like big crowds.Man: Well, next year is still a long time away and next weekend we are going to the beach, a whole bunch of us. Would you like to come with us?Woman: Yes, thank you, I would. And maybe I can find how you go about planning things.Questions:27. According to the woman, why couldn’t she enjoy the fireworks?28. What did the man do to ensure a good view of the fireworks?29. How did the man explain the success for their park trip?30. What did the man do at the end of conversation?Part C Listening and TranslationI. Sentence TranslationDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear 5 sentences in English. You will hear the sentences ONLY ONCE. After you have heard each sentence, translate it into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.1. 原文：We know that language use is the life-long process, so is the foreign language learning.

2023年春季上海外语口译考试中级口译笔译真题
春季上海外语口译考试中级口译笔译真题[1] SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST[2] SECTION 2: STUDY SKILLS[3] SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1)[4] SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2)SECTION 2: STUDY SKILLS (45 minutes)Directions: In this section, you wiIl read several passages. Each passage is followed by several questions based on its content. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 1--5I came across an old country guide the other day.It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country,and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one's own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a superficial traveler in rural Eng1and might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction of village commerce, bul its vigor is still remarkable.Our local grocer's shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news whi1e doing their shopping, instead of queueing up anonymously at a supermarket. And the proprietor knows well that persona1 service has a substantial cash value.His Prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, bu he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour.They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside theusual stock and the grocer a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them..The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce.Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedly individualist in their ways. For example, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thick-set, irritable man whom children treat with marked respect, knowing that an ill-judged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time. He stares with contempt at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash? But we all know he will in fact do excellent work upon them.And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxury.1.The services available in villages nowadays arenormally_________.(A) fewer but still very active(B) less successful than earlier but managing to survive(C) active in providing food for the village and tourists(D) surprisingly energetic considering the little demand for them2.The local grocer’s shop is expanding even though________.(A) town shops are more attractive(B) town shops are larger and less well-known(C) people like to shop where they are less well-known(D) people get extra service in townshops3.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about delivering goods?(A) They tend to forget it. (B) They will not consider it.(C) They take it for granted. (D) It does not seem worth their while4.Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that_________.(A) there is a wide range of goods available(B) goods not in stock can be obtained whenever they are needed(C) special attention is given to the needs of wealthier customers(D) goods are always restocked before they run out5.In what way is the village shoemaker a “formidable figure”?(A) He seems to pay little attention to public opinion.(B) He refuses to mend cheap,mass-produced shoes.(C) He has a very rough temper.(D) He has very high standards of workmanship.Questions 6--10Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to have their attention diverted by a sign that read—A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS. This self-defeating warning has now been removed, but its message is still very much to the point.Almost anything can cause an accident. Apart from momentary inattention, it might be a minor miscalculation, a sudden fit of coughing, a bop on the head with a teddy-bear from a child in the back seat, an argument with the wife, fog, falling asleep at the wheel, bad eyesight, a glaring sun, ice, rain, wind, or snow—a1l these can make the difference between a tragic hit and a lucky miss.Although human error plays its part, it is by no means the only cause of accidents. There must be some cause other than simple human error. Road construction plays its part: researchers have found that it is not at the obvious danger spot—sharp corners, cross-roads, narrow lanes—that accidents happen. It is on those roads where there are subtle visual traps, unexpected changes in the shape or surface of the .road, or even insufficient or badly-placed signs. Wherever there is a 'black spot', it means that something is seriously wrong with the road. Why else did the careless driving of so many come out at that particular spot?What the law requires when you have an accidentThere are, firstly the legal formalities of exchanging names and addresses with others involved in an accident and, incertain cases, informing the police. However, you are required by law to stop after an accident only if:l Somebody other than yourself in or outside your car has been injured.2 A vehicle not your own has been damaged.3 Any horse, cow,donkey,sheep, or dog has been injured.It has been said that if a driver continues unaware of causing injury he must be acquitted. But the courts are wary of that excuse. Furthermore, the driver himself must wait at the scene; it is not enough for him to leave his chauffeur or a friend to attend to the boring formalities while he goes off on more important business.If you have been involved in an accident and have stopped, you must give your name, address, and registration numberto anyone who has a good reason for requesting it; this means anyone affected by the accident. If these formalities are complied with it is not necessary to wait for the arrival of the police. It is, however, often wise to do so. The police are expert at drawing plans, taking measurements and photographs and gathering other evidence. In your absencethe police could be given a biased story against you; and you yourself migh wam to point out certain features of the accident to the police.6. A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS' (para. l) is a self defeating Warning because______.(A) it will make a driver wait at the scene(B) it will distract the driver's attention(C) it is too difficult to understand(D) it is too long to be read by drivers7. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A) After an accident you have to give your name to anyone who asks for it.(B) Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to ignore the sign.(C) Road construction problems can be a major cause of accidents.(D) A 'black spot' is a part of the road where there are no signs.8. 'Subtle visual traps' (para.3) are ______.(A) places where the police hide in order to trap motorists(B) parts of the road which are deceptive to the driver's eye(C) danger spots such as sharp corners and cross-roads(D) places where there are man road-signs9. As required by the law, you must stop after an accident, if ______.(A) you have been injured by somebody.(B) your car has been damaged.(C) you have injured somebody else(D) you have witnessed the accidentl 0. After an accident it is recommended that you wait for the police because _________.(A) it is against the law to drive off(B) they have to examine your licence and insurance certificate(C) they have to noto the position of your car(D) somebody may give them a false account of the accidentQuestions 11--15Just as word oil scarcity is already causing intemational conflicts, so will the scarcity of water reach a point where wars will break out. The statistics on water are already scary. Already well over l billion people suffer from water shortages and 30 countries get more than a third of their water from outside their borders—an obvious source of disputes and instability especially as the climate changes. The whole of the sub-Saharan Africa, most of South Asia and western South America are most at risk. The reason: the rapid melting of glaciers due to global warning.At the meeting of the coalition of 27 Intenaional charities last month, Gareth Thomas, minister of International Development of the British government, wrote to prime minister Gordon Brown demanding action to ensure fresh water to 1.1 billion people with poor supplies. "If we do not act now, the reality is that water supplies may become thesubject of international conflict in the years ahead. We need to invest now to prevent us having to pay that price in the future", Thomas said. The department warned that two-thirds of the world's population will live in water-stressed countries by 2025.The coalition of charities has appealed for a global effort to bring running water to the developing world and supply sanitation to a further 2.6 billion people. It said that international investment is needed now to prevent competition for water to destabilize communities and escalate into conflicts.Tackling the water and sanitation crisis is essential if the Millennium Development Goal Call to Action is to be a success. Otherwise, progress on health, education, and environment sustainability will be undermined. Each year 443 million school days are lost globally to diarrhea and 1.8 million children die from these diseases. In fact, it is often not realized the investing in sanitation and water brings the greatest public health gains, more than any other single development intervention and delivers enormous economic gains. Already, some Asian countries have put tackling these issues at theforefront of their development efforts. The Millennium Development Goals aim to halve the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water by 20l5. To achieve that urgent action needs to be taken.There is no doubt that climate change is potentially the most important factor affecting water shortage. This, compounded with a growing and increasingly urbanized global population will put pressure on food and water. For a temperature rise of 2°C, which is likely to happen by 2050, there would be a catastrophic 2 to 3 billion people suffering from water stress.11. What does the author think is primarily responsible for water shortages in the world ?(A) Climate chance. (B) Border dispute.(C) World competition. (D) Political instability12. According to Gareth Thomas, _______ is the price we have to pay for water shortage if we do not take immediate action.(A ) sanitation crisis (B) international conflict(C) global warming (D) over-urbanization13. What can the coalition of charities do to prevent competition for water ?(A) Appealing for international investment.(B) Bringing running water to the developing world.(C) Supplying sanitation to billions of water-stressed people.(D) Enhancing world environment sustainability13. The Millennium Development Goals aim to_______ in the near future.(A) tackle the water and sanitation crisis(B) yield economic gains as well as public health gains(C) make progress on health, education and environment sustainability(D) provide more people with clean drinking water15. According to the passage, what will add to water shortage ?(A) Oil scarcity.(B) A drop in temperature(C) A growing population.(D) Reduced food supplyQuestions 16.-20Parenting was never a piece of cake in any age, but probably the greatest source of headache for parents today in Japan is the ubiquitous cellphone. Today, 96 percent of senior high school students and 58 percent of junior high school students have cellphones. Even among primary school children, 3l percent have them.By enabling youngsters to stay connected with their parents at all times, these gadgets help to keep children safe. For the kids, they are fun toys, too, that let them text to or chat with their pals whenever they want, play Intemet games, and enjoy blogging for their own profile and diary purposes.But terrible dangers lurk beneath all that fun and convenience.Every year about l,000 children become involved in rape and other crimes through dating service sites. Violent and obscene images are only a couple of clicks away. Ongakkoura saito, or so-called unofficial school websites where kids can post whatever they want, anyone can fall victim to brutal ''verbal mob lynching" by their peers.Amid today's urgent need to address these problems, the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding has issued a report. In response to the Prime Minister's recent comments---“I ca nnot think of one good reason for (letting youngsters) have a cellphone" and "I would like everyone to discuss whether cellphones are really necessary:" ----the report recommended that "parents, guardians, schools and all parties concerned should cooperate among themselves, so that elementary school pupils and junior high school students do not have a cellphone unless there is a compelling reason for them to do so."But since many parents believe in the necessity of cellphones as a safety tool, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to do away with them. Rather, it would make more sense for guardians, schools and cellphone companies to consider, from their respective standpoints,how cellphones should be used by children.We suggest that parents sit down with their offspring and talk about their “house rules” for cellphone use. For instance, scot the hours allowed, so the kids won't be texting to their friends late into the night, remind them never to give away personal information online, and so on..But there are limits to what individual families can do, and this is where we also suggest that schools should educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use. One way to go about this, for instance, may be for each class to set its own rules on sending e-mail messages.16. The word "ubiquitous" (para. l) is closest in meaning to________.(A) updated (B) sophisticated(C) prevalent (D) obsolete17. Many parents let their kids have cellphones because they ________.(A) want their kids to keep up with the IT World(B) can't think of anything better for their kids to have fun(C) don't want their kids to miss 'what other kids have(D) believe cellphones enable them to stay connected18. Which of the following is NOT the potential risk kids may face when using cellphones?(A) Involvement in rape-related crime(B) Exposure to violent and obscene images(C) Falling victim to brutal curses.(D) Being tracked down by unofficial school websites.19. The report issued by the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding______.(A) recommended minimizing the use of cellphones among kids(B) suggested setting “house rules” for cellphone use(C) urged parents to remind their children about ce1lphone use(D) pressed schools to educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use20. What is the main idea of the passage?(A) Parents neglect to protect their kids from cellphones.(B) Parenting with cellphones is a source of headache.(C) Cellphones should be banned from campus.(D) Kids need lessons on the uses of cellphonesQuestion 21--25Extract IA stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet as perfect foil to an eclectic array of furniture. Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together The prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat's occupant. He is pictured in his living room which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining room by a high Medieval-styled archway where was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.Extract 2Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising. This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, or by fitting wood paneling over them.As wood paneling can be secured over almost anything---including odd ceramic tiles and chipped walls--- is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration. The paneling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.Extract 3Cooking takes second place in this charming room which, with its deep armchairs, is more of a sitting room than a kitchen, and the new RaybUm stove as a good choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace. There are no fitted units or built-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farm house table in the foreground; and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display. Whatabout the kitchen sink? It's hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery. Here there's a second cooker and--- in the best farmhouse tradition--- a huge walk-in larder for all food storage.2l. Why is the colour of the carpet described in Extract l a particular advantage?(A) It livens up the colour in an otherwise dull room.(B) It provides a contrast to the furniture.(C) It blends in with the tones of the furniture.(D) It gives the room a classical style.22. What is the purpose of the archway described in Extract 1 ?(A) To hide an unattractive fireplace.(B) To give the room an exotic eastem style.(C) To join the dining room with the sitting room(D) To make room for the unusual seating arrangements.23. Extract 2 is probably taken from ________.(A) an architect's blueprint(B) a plumber’s manual(C) a home renovation magazine(D) an advertisement for new bathrooms24. Extracts 2 and 3 deal with _________.(A) old and classic furniture(B) attractive colour schemes(C) cheap improvement schemes(D) home decoration25. Compared with Extract l the room described in Extract 3 appears to _______.(A) be more comfortable(B) be more colourful(C) contain more furniture(D) possess a greater variety of styleQuestions26--30,.Large parts of the world have not enjoyed the remarkable global progress in health conditions that have taken place over the past century. Indeed, millions of deaths in impoverished nations are avoidable with prevention and treatment options that the rich world already uses. This year, l0 million children will die in low-and middle-income countries. If child death rates were the same as those in developed countries this figure would be lower than 1 million. Conversely, if child death rates were those of rich countries just 100 years ago, the figure would be 30 million. Today's tools for improving health are so powerful and inexpensive that health conditions could be reasonably good even in poor countries if policy makers spent even relatively little in the right places.Recent research for the Copeghagen Consensus identifies several highly cost-effective options that would tackle some of the planet's most urgent health problems. The most promising investment is in tuberculosis treatment. Some 90 percent of the l.6 million tuberculosis deaths in occurred in low-and middle-income countries. Because tuberculosis affects working-age people, it can be a trigger of household poverty .The comer stone of control is prompt treatment using first-line drugs, which doesn't require a sophisticated healthsystem. Spending $l billion on tuberculosis treatment in a year would save l million lives. Because good health accompanies higher levels of national economic welfare in the long run, the economic benefits are worth $30 billion.The second most cost-effective investment is tackling new disease. Heart disease might not seem like a pressing issue for poor nations, but it represents more than a quarter of their death toll. Measures to reduce risk factors other than smoking--high intake or saturated animal fat, obesity, binge drinking of alcohol, physical inactivity , and low fruit and vegetable consumption-- have had little success. Treating acute heart attacks with inexpensive drugs is, however, cost-effective. Spending $200 million could avert several hundred thousand deaths, yielding benefits that are 25 times higher than costs.The third option is prevention and treatment of malaria. A billion dollars would expand the provision of insecticide-treated bed-nets and facilitate provision of highly effective treatment. This would save more than a million child deaths and produce economic benefits worth $20 billion.The fourth alternative for policymakers is to focus on child health initiatives. The best measures are familiar ones expanding immunization coverage, promoting breast feeding, increasing the use of simple and cheap treatments for diarrhea and childhood pneumonia, and so on.Even if the costs of all these initiatives were two or three times higher than we estimate, these efforts would still provide amazing opportunities to reduce health inequality and do good in the world.26. Over the past century, the child death rates have_________.(A ) climbed steadily in impoverished countries(B) dropped remarkably in developed countries(C) fluctuated wildly in low-income countries(D) remained stable in middle-income countries27. The most effective investment is in the treatment for________.(A) tuberculosis(B) heart disease(C) malaria(D) diarrhea28.All of the following could be the contributing factors to heart disease EXCETP________.(A) heavy smoking(B) binge drinking(C) saturated animal fat intake(D) vegetable consumption29.According to the author, if $ l billion were invested in the prevention and treatment of heart disease, which of the following economic benefits would be produced?(A) $20 billion.(B) $25 billion.(C) $30 billion.(D) $35 billion.30. What would be the best title for this passage ?(A) Best Options for Tackling World’s Killer Diseases.(B) Cost-effective Investment in Impoverished Nations.(C) Health Inequality between Developed and Developing Countries.(D) Earth’s Killer Diseases: Tuberculosis, Heart Attack and Malaria...SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.In a normal recession, the to-do list is clear. Copies of Keynes are dusted off, the Fed lowers interest rates, the president and Congress cut taxes and hike spending. In time, purchasing, production and loans perk up, and Keynes is placed back on the shelf. No larger alterations to the economy are made, because our economy, but for the occasional bump in the road, is fundamentally sound. This has been the drill in every recession since World War II.Republicans and Democrats argue over whose taxes should be cut the most and which projects should be funded, but under public pressure to do something, they usually find some mutually acceptable midpoint and enact a stimulus package. Even in today's hyper partisan Washington, theodds still favor such a deal. This time, though, don’t expect that to be the end of the story-----because the coming recession will not be normal, and our economy is not fundamentally sound. This time around, the nation will have to craft new versions of some of the reforms that Franklin Roosevelt created to steer the nation out of the Great Depression.SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2) (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.钟表上旳秒针一下一下地移动，每移动一下就是表达我们旳寿命已经缩短了一部分。

Now let’s begin Part A with the first passage.Passage 1As for us Americans, you may think that we give too much importance to individualism and personal gains, so much so that it might sacrifice collective benefits, and even bring harm to the harmony of the society.//Yes, but you don’t have to be worried. American work ethic is more individual-oriented. We often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.//If I am not mistaken, the traditional Chinese work ethic is based on Confucianism, which stresses the benefit of communal harmony rather than individual freedom.//It’s really very hard to say which is better because if the cultural differences. With the economic globalization, cultural exchanges have become more and more extensive and Americans and Chinese will know and understand each other better.至于我们美国人，你们会感到我们太看重个人主义，太看重个人利益，这样可能会牺牲集体的利益，甚至会损害社会的和谐。
//是的，但你们不必担忧。
我们美国人的工作理念更强调个人主义。
我们一般重视的是结果和成就，而不是过程。
//如果我没理解错的话，中国传统的够工作理念是以儒家学说为基础的，这种思想强调整体和谐高于个体自由。
//由于文化差异的存在，真的很难说哪种理念更好。
随着经济全球化，文化交流也随之变得越来越广泛，美国人民和中国人民将会更加互相了解和理解。
Passage 2The knowledge-based economy represents a new strategic era that human beings are entering. So knowledge is becoming the most important source of growth as well as productivity.//The knowledge-based economy has one characteristic that is innovation. Innovation means the ability to generate and use knowledge to innovate. It is not only a determinant of wealth; it is also the basis of competitive advantage.//The first step towards the knowledge-based economy can be made it one is able to effectively develop a vision of the future, exploit one’s self-potential and stay open-minded.//I am very glad that China will soon carry out the National Medium-to-long Term Program for Education Reform and Development. This program, I’m sure, will encourage your young people to absorb new knowledge and apply it in science and technology.“知识经济”表明了人类即将进入的一个全新的战略发展时代。
知识正成为最重要的资本和生产力。
//“知识经济”有一大特点，那就是创新。
创新指创造新知识和运用新知识的能力。
此种能力不仅决定财富的多少，还是取得竞争优势的基础。
//如果能不断发展前瞻的眼光，挖掘自身的潜力，保持开放的头脑，你便向“知识经济时代”迈出了第一步。
