You must choose the one which you think fits best. Blacken the corresponding letter as required on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.笔译综合能力(英语·三级)试卷第10 页(共20页)Questions 61-70 are based on the following passage.Are you interested in seeing the beautiful fall foliage of New England but tired of traffic jams and overbooked hotels? Then this year forget the crowds in New England and see the beautiful colors of autumn in the Catskills.These rugged mountains in New York State, just 90 miles northwest of New York City, are famous for the legendary tales of Rip Van Winkle, and more recently for the summer hotels that sprang up in the region during the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. Families trying to escape the heat of New York City found the Catskills to be the perfect place to stay for a month or so each summer. By the late 1950s there were over 500 resorts and hotels offering nighttime entertainment as well as all kinds of outdoor activities. Famous comedians like Jackie Gleason, Joan Rivers, and Sid Caesar all got their start touring the hotel clubs here. Since the introduction of air-conditioning and cheaper air travel, however, families have stopped coming to the Catskills in such large numbers, choosing instead more distant locations at different times of the year. Many of the Catskills hotels closed in the 1970s, but some remain and have expanded and changed their facilities to meet the needs of today’s visitors.Currently, there are many activities available to the traveler besides witnessing the changing colors of the leaves. There is an all-organic sheep farm where visitors can see how a traditional sheep farm operates. There are also hundreds of miles of scenic drives in the area. Route 42, for instance, is an excellent site for spotting bald eagles. For more information on vacations in the Catskills, call the Office of Public Information.61.The author’s main purpose is to ________.A. promote the Catskills as a vacation destinationB. introduce visitors to famous Catskills entertainersC. describe the history of the Catskills regionD. compare the Catskills to New England笔译综合能力(英语·三级)试卷第11 页(共20页)62.The word “rugged” underlined in Paragraph 2 means ________.A. barrenB. roughC. tallD. lush63.According to the passage, the decline in the number of resorts in the 1970swas caused by ________.A. televisionB. shorter vacationsC. affordable air travelD. more traffic64.The phrase “sprang up” underlined in Paragraph 2 refers to something thathas ________.A. burst forthB. spread outC. operated vigorouslyD. joined together65.In what season would a tourist most likely have visited the Catskills in the1950s?A. Fall.B. Winter.C. Spring.D. Summer.66.The author’s tone in this passage is ________.A. light and encouragingB. informative and scientificC. humorous and skepticalD. regretful and reminiscent67.From the passage, what might a visitor be lucky enough to do?A. See fall leaves in color.B. See a kind of bird.C. Work on a sheep farm.D.

We are only beginning to learn that we can control our biological environment as well as our physical one. Starvation has been prophesied twice to a growing world population: by Malthus about 1.8 billion and by Crookes about 1.9 billion. It was headed off the first time by taking agriculture to America and the second time by using the new fertilizers. Soon starvation will be headed off by the control of the diseases and the heredity of plants and animals — by shaping our own biological environment.And third, I come back to the haunting theme of automation. The most common species in the factory today is the man who works or minds a simple machine — the operator. Before long he will be as extinct as the hand-loom weaver and the dodo (老古董). The repetitive tasks of industry will be taken over by the machines, as the heavy tasks were taken over long ago; and the mental tedium will go the way of physical exhaustion. Today we still distinguish, even among repetitive jobs, between the skilled and the unskilled, but in a few years to come all repetition will be unskilled. We simply waste our time if we oppose this change.71.This article was written to ________.A. warn us of impending starvationB. present facts about life in the near future笔译综合能力(英语·三级)试卷第13 页(共20页)C. oppose biological advancesD. warn of the danger of automation72.In the coming years, people will ________.A. have more machines at their disposalB. experience starvationC. never workD. have fewer machines at their disposal73.Advances in biological knowledge have ________.A. kept pace with those in physicsB. been responsible for the invention of new machinesC. surpassed those in physicsD. lagged behind those in physics74.We are beginning to learn that we ________.A. can control our physical environmentB. can never control our biological environmentC. have no control over our physical environmentD. can control both our biological and physical environments75.In the near future, starvation will be prevented by ________.A. Chinese agricultureB. use of new fertilizersC. control of the diseases and the heredity of plants and animalsD. vitamin pills76.Which of the following is NOT true?A. The mental tedium will not exist in the end.B. Hand-loom weaver is the thing of the past.C. Automation is an out-of-date topic today.笔译综合能力(英语·三级)试卷第14 页(共20页)D. Physical burden in the factory has already been replaced.77.The author believes before long, machines will ________.A. actually replace unskilled workersB. have learned to think for usC. be shaped like robotsD. no longer be needed78.The repetitive tasks of industry lead to ________.A. physical exhaustionB. mental stimulationC. mental exhaustionD. physical extinction79.If the author’s predictions are realized, the demand for unskilled workers willbe ________.A. very highB. very lowC. the same as todayD. constantly rising80.From the passage, increased automation ________.A. can be successfully opposedB. cannot be avoidedC. has not yet begunD. will put everyone out of workQuestions 81-90 are based on the following passage.Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people.“The burnt child fears the fire” is one instance; another is the rise of despots like Hitler. Both examples also point up the fact that attitudes stem from experience. In one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and cumulative. The Nazis were indoctrinated largely by the speeches they heard and the books they read.The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in a strategic position to 笔译综合能力(英语·三级)试卷第15 页(共20页)influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose word they respect.Another reason it is true is that pupils often delve somewhat deeply into a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who had previously acquired little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.The media through which the teacher can develop wholesome attitudes are innumerable. Social studies (with special reference to races, creeds and nationalities), science matters of health and safety, the very atmosphere of the classroom… these are a few of the fertile fields for the inculcation of proper emotional reactions.However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise for the teacher to attempt to change their feelings by cajoling or scolding them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experiences.To illustrate, first grade pupils afraid of policemen will probably alter their attitudes after a classroom chat with the neighborhood officer in which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, research, outside reading and all-day trips.Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be deleterious if she has personal prejudices. This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions on which children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions as a result of objective analysis of all the facts.81.The central idea of the above passage is that ________.A. attitudes affect our actionsB. teachers are important in developing or changing pupils’ attitudesC. attitudes can be changed by some classroom experiencesD. by their attitudes, teachers inadvertently affect pupils’ attitudes笔译综合能力(英语·三级)试卷第16 页(共20页)82.The word “despot” underlined in Paragraph 2 means a person ________.A. who enjoys a high reputationB. who is very successful in politicsC. with unlimited powersD. who deposits a large sum of money in a bank83.The pupils’ attitudes are NOT influenced by ________.A. their parents’ persuasion to behave properlyB. their teachers’ attitudesC. the speeches they hear and the books they readD. such media as social studies, science matter and classroom atmosphere84.It can be inferred from the passage that the pupils ________.A. usually study a certain subject in greater details at home than at schoolB. usually do not study a certain subject at homeC. study the subjects only at schoolD. study a subject more deeply at school than at home85.The example of the pupils’ learning about Mexico shows that ________.A. a child usually learns the right things from their teachersB. a teacher can correct a pupil’s wrong ideasC. a teacher’s attitude can influence a child’s attitude by teachingD. a child’s attitude is very changeable86.The author implies that ________.A. the teacher should guide all discussions by revealing her own attitudeB. in some aspects of social studies a greater variety of methods can be used inthe upper grades than in the lower gradesC. people usually act on the basis of reasoning rather than emotionD. children’s attitudes often come from those of other children笔译综合能力(英语·三级)试卷第17 页(共20页)87.A statement made or implied in the passage is that ________.A.attitudes can be based on the learning of falsehoodsB.a child can develop in the classroom an attitude about the importance ofbrushing his teethC.attitudes cannot easily be changed by rewards and lecturesD.the attitudes of elementary school-aged children are influenced primarilyby their teachers88.The passage specifically states that ________.A.direct experiences are more valuable than indirect onesB.whatever attitudes a child learns in school have already been introduced athomeC.teachers should always conceal their own attitudesD.teachers can sometimes have an unwholesome influence on children89.From the last paragraph, we can see that ________.A.a teacher’s influence on children is always positiveB.children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions by ignoringobjective factsC.if improperly handled, a teacher’s influence can be very harmful to thechildrenD.children may develop prejudices if the teacher’s attitude is wrong90.The author of this passage tries to ________.A.present certain facts of how the development of a person’s attitude can beinfluencedB.show that our society is not doing enough to help children shape theirattitudesC.point out that teachers are the only people who can influence the children’sattitudes笔译综合能力(英语·三级)试卷第18 页(共20页)D.prove that speeches and books are the only factors to indoctrinate childrenSection 3: Cloze Test (10 points)In the following passage, there are 20 blanks representing words that are missing from the context.

全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.Freed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle.In Bykovsky, a village of 457 residents at the tip of a fin-shaped peninsula on Russia’s northeast coast, the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks of heating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet, or 5 to 6 meters, a year. Eventually, homes will be lost as more ice melts each summer, and maybe all of Bykovsky, too.“It is practically all ice —permafrost —and it is thawing.” The 4 million Russian people who live north of the Arctic Circle are feeling the effects of warming in many ways. A changing climate presents new opportunities, but it also threatens their environment, the stability of their homes, and, for those whose traditions rely on the ice-bound wilderness, the preservation of their culture.A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. Discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil or liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed for the eager markets of Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by air and water pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry.Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing the United States to prepare to relocate several Inuit coastal villages at a projected cost of US$100 million or more for each one.Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with cultural traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and笔译实务(英语·三级)试卷第 1 页(共3 页)wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding.In Finnmark, the northernmost province of Norway, the Arctic landscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but for the cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of a snowmobile herding them.A changing Arctic is felt there, too, though in another way. “The reindeer are becoming unhappy,” said Issat Eir a, a 31-year-old reindeer herder.Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving indigenous customs. The state has lavished its oil wealth on the region, and as a result Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance.And yet no amount of government support can convince Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not about to change. Like a Texas cattleman he keeps the size of his herd secret. But he said warmer temperatures in fall and spring are melting the top layers of snow, which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to dig through to the lichen they eat.“The people who are making the decisions, they are living in the south and they are living in towns,” said Eira, sitting beside a birch fire inside his lavvu, a home made of reindeer hides. “They don’t mark the change of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources from nature who mark it.”Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into English.中国为种类繁多的菜肴感到十分自豪。

CATTI三级笔译实务模拟题2020年(2)(总分100, 做题时间180分钟)English-Chinese Translation1.It is more than a quarter of a century since the leaders of the world, gathered in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, committed their countries to avoiding "dangerous anthropogenic interference in the climate system" by signing the UN convention on climate change. The case for living up to their words has only become stronger. The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere grows unremittingly. Average global temperatures have risen, t oo, to about 1°C above those of the pre-industrial era. The science that links the two is incontestable. Recent extreme-weather events, from floods in Hanoi to fires in California, were made more likely by the change that the climate has already undergone. Things will only get worse — perhaps catastrophically so.In a sense the world is already equipped for the task at hand. Wind and solar power have, after huge subsidies, joined nuclear reactors and dams as affordable ways of generating gigawatts of electricity without burning fossil fuels. As our Technology Quarterly this week shows, parts of the energy system not easily electrified—some forms of transport, industrial processes like making steel and cement, heating offices and homes—could also be decarbonized **ing technologies. And policymakers have tools to bring about change, including carbon taxes, regulation, subsidies and, if they choose, command and control.Yet when the parties to the convention on climate change meet again in Katowice, Poland, on December 2nd, it will be against a backdrop not just of rising temperatures but also of rising despair. The problem is obvious: the stakes are huge; solutions are within reach. So why is the response inadequate?The chief reason is that the world has no history of dealing with such a difficult problem, nor the institutions to do so. The harm done by climate change is not visited on the people, or the generations, that have the best chance of acting against it. Those who suffer most harm are and will be predominantly poor and in poor countries. The people called on to pay the costs of reducing that harm are and will be mostly much better off.The better off are more able to adapt to climate change than the poor, and thus have less cause to avoid change. And making the poor wealthy enough to adapt involves economic growth that is still mostly powered by fossil fuels. Although no one should be asked to forgothat growth, it has consequences.What might produce a moment of clarity to break this impasse? Onepossibility is the sheer impact of climate change. Geophysical features of Earth are already being redrawn. The dry edges of the tropics are heading pole wards at about 50km a decade. The line of aridity defining the American West has moved roughly 230km east since 1980. The sea ice in the Arctic is a shadow of its former self. Nobody can know whether the world will one day wake up and cut emissions to zero. Even if it does, the main problem — the stock of greenhouse gases already emitted — will remain. A crash programme to suck carbon dioxide out of the air would take vast resources and years to make a difference.Another spur might be innovation. The world would have many fewer firms developing electric cars were it not for Elon Musk and Tesla. But without policies to spread innovation, such as a carbon tax or subsidy and regulation, inventiveness alone is insufficient. The technology that matters is the technology being used.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI分值: 50答案:1992年,世界各国领导人齐聚里约热内卢,签署了一项有关气候变化的联合国公约,承诺避免“气候系统受到危险的人为干扰”。

Hundreds of old **e every morning to exercise before the tropical heat makes sport unbearable. Groups of fitness enthusiasts proliferate. Elderly ladies in floral silks do tai chi in a courtyard. In the shade of a tall tree, dozens of ballroom dancers sway to samba music. Others work up a sweat on an outdoor exercise-machine.In the next few decades the gardens will become busier still. Vietnam has a median age of only 26. But it is greying fast. Over-60s make up 12% of the population, a share that is forecast to jump to 21% by 2040, one of the quickest increases in the world. Growing prosperity has also helped bring down the fertility rate in the same period from about seven children per woman to less than two.Demography is changing in similar ways in many Asian countries. But in Vietnam it is happening while the country is still poor. When the share of the population of working age climbed to its highest in South Korea and Japan, annual GDP per person stood at $32, 585 and $31, 718 respectively. Even China managed to reach $9, 526. In Vietnam, which hit the same peak in 2013, incomes averaged a mere $5, 024.This shift brings headaches. First, will the government be able to support millions more Vietnamese in old age? Only the extremely poor and people over 80 (together around 30% of the elderly) get a state pension, which can be as little as a few dollars a week. The most recent survey of the old, in 2011, found that 90% of them had no savings. Debt **mon. Supporting them will become ever more expensive. The IMF predicts that pension costs, at the present rate, could raise government spending as a share of GDP by eight percentage points by 2050. That is faster than in any of the other 12 Asian countries it examined.The problem is worse in the countryside, where most old folk live. Previously the young cared for their parents in old age. Today they tend to abandon village life to seek their fortune in the city. Surveys suggest that the share of old people living alone is rising, especially in villages. Many work until they die. Around 40% of rural men are still toiling at 75, twice the rate of city-dwellers. In Britain that figure is 3%. Often they do gruelling manual jobs, such as rice farming or fishing.Providing health care for millions more old people is another worry. Alzheimer's, heart disease and age-related disability are growing. In the botanical garden Toau, a 78-year-old in a white sports T-shirt, says he is there on doctor's orders, before taking a pill for his bad heart and joining an exercise group. About a third of over-60s do not have health insurance, which is costly. Many provinces still have no proper geriatric departments in hospitals. Informal health-insurance groups have popped up to fill the gaps.The government is starting to implement policies to reduce the fiscal burden and improve the lot of the elderly. Last year it relaxed the one-child policy. In May it said it would increase the retirement age from 60 to 62 for men and 55 to 60 for women, and reform the pension scheme to provide wider coverage. Next year it plans to begin revamping the health-insurance and social-assistance systems.Chinese-English Translation2. 2.敦煌行-丝绸之路国际旅游节自2011年开始在甘肃举办,是全国唯一以丝绸之路命名的常设性旅游节会,现已成为服务丝路沿线国家和地区文化旅游交流合作的重要国际性平台。

英语翻译三级笔译实务模拟试题及答案解析(10)英语翻译三级笔译实务模拟试题及答案解析(10)(1/1)Section ⅠEnglish Chinese TranslationTranslate the following two passages into Chinese .第1题OxfordWhen language learners arrive in Oxford, many ask where the university is, thinking that they will be shown just one building. It′s up to their teachers to explain that Oxford university is made up of a collection of many different colleges and institutions, each with its own history and characteristics.There are many other surprises that learners discover about the city and its university. Katie Jennings is a social organizer at King′s St Joseph′s Hall in East Oxford, and it is her job to organize activities for learners outside of lesson time. She says many learners are surprised to discover that Oxford is a home to a wide variety of nationalities and ethnic groups, and one of the most popular social events is a night out at one of the town′s Latin American dance clubs. After a day spent learning English and absorbing the ancient atmosphere of the university, learners can samba the night away.The city also has a thriving Asian community, and the sight of women in saris is as common in Oxford′s streets as academics in gowns and mortarboards. There is also a mouth-watering selection of Asian restaurants serving curries, as well as shops stocked with exotic vegetables and fruits.The city has attracted such a diverse population not only because of the university, but also because it is an important industrial centre which is known for car manufacturing amongother things. In spite of large industrial areas, the old of the city centre has remained surprisingly intact. Carmel Engin, who teaches at the Lake School, says many learners are surprised to find that the city is free from the usual high-rise modem buildings. "From the centre of Oxford, you can see green hills in the distance, and this will make learners deeply feel that they are in a small, friendly town, but not just another modem metropolis.Some learners will be tempted to explore those green hills—Oxford is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in southem England—but, as Engin admits, with so much to do and see in the city, few learners find the time to explore its surroundings.Oxford has developed some imaginative initiatives for language learners. One is a local radio station which broadcasts news and provides information for learners. They can visit the station to get experience in radio production. Or they can meet university students in pubs and clubs or at one of the many campus sports facilities which are open to language learners. _____下一题(1/1)Section ⅡChinese-English TranslationTranslate the following passage into English .第2题我们污染了空气清洁的空气对于健康是至关重要。

CATTI三级笔译实务模拟题2020年(3)(总分100, 做题时间180分钟)English-Chinese Translation1.Risto Siilasmaa is the chairman of Nokia, which is today a very different and much **pany than in 2008 when he joined its board as a non-executive director.When Apple launched the iPhone in 2007, Nokia at first seemed to view it as a **petitor with a high price-tag that would capture only a small slice of the market. After all, Nokia's phones appeared to have all the bells and whistles needed to succeed. Users could download music and listen to the radio; they could use their phones to take photos and videos; they could send and receive email; and even use maps.Mr Siilasmaa had a front-row seat for the drama that ensued when he first joined the firm, but he had very little real influence on the board decisions. As he explains, board members have limited access to limited quantities of **pany information. With his software background, however, he quickly perceived the firm's big problem. Its devices could rival the iPhone mechanically, but the operating system could **pete. Nokia's Symbian system was cumbersome for users, who had to send confirmations whenever any function was added to the phone.Nokia also had a wide range of devices with different operating requirements, making it difficult for app developers to customise their offerings. Apple, by contrast, had only one platform and enjoyed the benefit of being able to design a system from scratch. Increasingly concerned about these problems, Mr Siilasmaa wrote a strategy document suggesting that **pany should consider embracing the Android operating system for phones, which was rapidly gaining market share. He sent it straight to Nokia's chairman, Jorma Ollila. Before becoming chairman, he had been Nokia's chief executive from 1992 to 2006, the years of its rise to dominance. He did not seem to appreciate a non-executive director putting his oar in. Mr Siilasmaa tried again, this time sending his memo to the chief executive and other board members, but his concerns were never addressed in board meetings.Mr Ollila, now 68, has described Mr Siilasmaa's claims as exaggerated or not true. But Nokia's performance deteriorated sharply during his last years in charge, and nothing he did was able to stop it. **pany did team up with Microsoft to launch a Windows-based phone, the Lumia. But by 2012, when Mr Ollila left the board, Nokia's market value had fallen by 92% since Apple's iPhone was launched and thefirm was making a loss.Mr Siilasmaa came in as the new chairman when **pany's fortunes seemed to be at rock-bottom. Instead, the news got worse: the Lumia phone received good reviews but failed to gain market share.So Mr Siilasmaa acted. In 2013 Nokia sold the phone business to Microsoft and struck out in a different direction. Now Nokia offers "end-to-end" digital infrastructure, supplying network equipment and software to **s operators. It is profitable, but its share price has barely moved in the past five years and future success is dependent on a wave of spending on 5G **s networks, which **e slowly.Nokia was already a classic example of the perils of disruptive innovation for industry leaders. Mr Siilasmaa's account underlines how little influence board members often have when faced with an entrenched management team. He insists that a board's role must be to challenge management. Bosses must have an attitude of "paranoid optimism", always on the lookout for potential threats. Nokia's story shows why.SSS_TEXT_QUSTIChinese-English Translation2.在人类发展进步的壮阔征程上,中国与世界各国结伴前行。

全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级笔译实务模拟试题Part 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉)Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET (60 points, 100 minutes).I leave the vault, and as the guard closes the door, a marine archaeologist asks if I want to see anything else. As an example he shows me an astrolabe, a navigation tool that preceded the sextant. Few have survived. "We have three of the oldest known," he says. He directs me to a paper on astrolabes written by a Cuban colleague, who quoted a 16th-century instruction: "He who wants to take the sun with an astrolabe at sea, must be seated near the main mast, the place where the boat oscillates the least and is quiet."I want to take the measure of Cuba's past, so I tell the archaeologist I would like to go to the place where the plain things are. I am here not only to see treasures that glitter but also to see and touch objects that illumine moments of the past. Smiling, he takes me into storage rooms where he and other archaeologists preserve cargoes from four centuries of wrecks. Jumbled on these shelves is the stuff of Cuba's long reign as counting house and command center for Spain's New World colonies.I see knickknacks destined for one of the annual 18th-century trade fairs, where Cubans bought imports from Spain. I also see, pallid from centuries in the sea, dozens of little painted ceramic dogs, lions, cats, and deer later shipped from England. Stacked nearby are sets of dinner dishes, tankards, an hourglass, a bottle of very Old Spanish wine.On another day, in fading light, I walk the ramparts of ElMorro, its lighthouse standing tall over Havana's harbor. The old fortress, by day a warren of tourist stops, changes by night, looming deeper into the shadows of Havana's past. As torches light the darkness, I watch Cuban soldiers, costumed as 18th-century Spanish sentries, march along the ramparts of the Castillo de San Carlos and fire a cannon that salutes the end of day. In Spanish times the cannon signaled the closing of the city gates and the drawing of a great chain across the harbor. Now the nightly ritual keeps open the sea-lane of memory between colonial past and present nationhood.Near the waterfront of Old Havana stands the Palace of the Captains General. Once the headquarters of the Spanish bureaucracy that governed Cuba, the palace now is the Museum of the city. Light and shadow play along its walls of coral limestone. Royal palms rustle in its lust courtyard. Up a stone stairway a gallery leads to the spacious office of Eusebio Leal Spengler, historian of the city of Havana and preserver of its past.A slight, precise man in a well-tailored dark suit, he is the obvious ruler of the palace.We had hardly shaken hands before he began rapidly talking about Havana, a city he sees simultaneously in past and present. The jewels I had viewed in the vault were about to become part of the treasure he guards for Cuba. He has selected an old fort to be their new home. "This," he said with a sweep of his hand, "is the city that changed history. Because of a decision by PhilipⅡ all ships had to gather here to carry treasure back to Spain. And what treasure! Silk and aromatic wood from China, emeralds, silver."Part 2 Chinese-English Translation (汉译英)Translate the following passage into English and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET (40 points, 80 minutes).中国海洋事业的发展海洋覆盖了地球表面的71%,是全球生命支持系统的一个基本组成部分,也是资源的宝库,环境的重要调节器。

For both parents and teachers, knowing **puter-based media are improving or【C1】______ education is a question of concern. With the surge in【C2】______ of e-books, online learning and open educational resources, investigators have been trying to determine whether students do 【C3】______ well when reading an assigned text on a digital screen as【C4】______ paper. The answer【C5】______ the question, however, needs far more than a yes-no response.In my research, I **pared the ways in which we read in print and onscreen. Between 2013 and 2015, I gathered data from 429 university students【C6】______ from five countries (the U.S., Japan, Germany, Slovenia and India).The students in my study reported that print was【C7】______ more enjoyable, 【C8】______ things such as "I like the smell of paper" or that reading in print is "real reading". What's more, print gave them a sense of where they were in the book — they could "see" and "feel"【C9】______ in the text.Print was also judged to be【C10】______ on the eyes and less【C11】______ to encourage multitasking than digital reading. Almost half the **plained【C12】______ eyestrain from reading digitally ("my eyes burn"), and 67 percent indicated they were likely to multitask while reading digitally (compared with 41 percent when reading print).At the same time, respondents praised digital reading on【C13】______ counts, 【C14】______ the ability to read in the dark, 【C15】______ of finding material ("plenty of quick information"), saving paper and even the fact they could multitask【C16】______ reading.But the bigger question is whether students are learning as much when they read onscreen.A number of researchers have sought to measure learning by asking people to read a passage of text, 【C17】______ in print or on a digital device, and then testing **prehension.Most studies have found that participants scored about the same when reading in each【C18】______, though a few have indicated that students performed better on tests when they read in print.The problem, however, with learning-measurement studies is that their notion of "learning" has tended to be simplistic.

The town was lush and green; only Vail Pass, at 10, 617 ft. above sea level, was dusted in the champagne powder Colorado is known for.Climate change has had a direct and aggressive effect on winter tourism — and not just in Vail. In 2016-17, the first frost came two weeks later than the 20th century average, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the last one nine days earlier. The season was nearly a month shorter than expected, a trend that's been worsening since the 1980s. NOAA's outlook for winter 2018-19 predicts warmer, drier and milder conditions across the US.Those working in ski towns and at resorts do not need meteorologists to tell them that; they can see the effects in their business. "Last year, we had radically less snow — our lowest snow year in 50 years, " says Auden Schendler, the Senior Vice President of Sustainability at Aspen Skiing Company in Aspen, Colo. "In low-snow years, you see about a billion dollars less in revenue." Those years also cost ski regions 17, 400 jobs, according to the 2018 economic report from Protect Our Winters, a nonprofit environmental organization.It's not just that there's less snow; it's that snow patterns are so unpredictable, ski towns, resorts and businesses can't count on conditions necessary for financial stability. To be considered "snow reliable, " a ski area must have more than 30 cm of snow depth (natural and man-made) during 100 days or during the entire Christmas through New Year's holiday period in at least seven out of 10 years. By those standards, all of the northeastern states (except Vermont) are projected to lose at least half of their ski areas, according to a review in the journal Current Issues in Tourism. And if climate change continues apace, 90% of ski resorts in the U.S. won't be able to open by Christmas by 2090.European ski areas have similar problems. By 2099, the Alps could lose up to 70% of their snow cover, according to research published by the European Geosciences Union — and just two to three weeks of operating at a loss could tank a ski area's financial season.In North America, multi-resort ski passes like the Epic Pass and Ikon Pass can help somewhat. "People can book last-minute trips to the resort with the best snow, " says Schendler. "But obviously, last-minute bookings make it harder to plan-for marketing, for occupancy and for projected revenue." Ironically, too much snow can also impact ski resorts. If a massive storm hits, as has happened more frequently, if unpredictably, in recent years, the sudden heavy snowfall can raise the threat of avalanches, leading resorts to shut down runs or even keep patrons indoors.Fluctuating snow patterns haven't completely derailed ski tourism yet. In fact, tourism numbers have remained static for two decades, Schendler says. But scientists and industry veterans feel like they can see a dark future. "At the current rate of warming, the ski industry is probably done by midcentury, " Schendler says. "We're not acting like we are in crisis, but we are."81. 81.This article was written to ______ .A. show some difficulties that the ski industry will meetB. demonstrate the future of the ski industryC. warn people the consequences of global warmingD. explain the relationship between snow and ski resorts82. 82.The word "aggressive" underlined in Paragraph 2 means______.A. angryB. boldC. hostileD. threatening83. 83.NOAA cannot be______.A. a government departmentB. an organization that cares about climate changeC. an organization that can predict changes in weatherD. a military institution84. 84.We can NOT learn from Paragraph 4 that______.A. the snow became less and unpredictableB. the standards which defines what is a "snow reliable ski area"C. all of the northeastern states have lost at least half of their ski areasD. 90% of the ski resorts in the US won't be able to open by the end of this century85. 85.The phrase "shut down" underlined in Paragraph 6 means______.A. to stop opening for businessB. to ask someone to stop talkingC. to keep someone or something inside a placeD. to block the entrances and exits86. 86.Auden Schendler is a (an)______.A. businessmanB. scientistC. officialD. skier87. 87.According to Auden Schendler, ______.A. last-minute trip is the future of the ski industryB. the ski industry is in crisisC. last year's snow was more than this yearD. a massive snow storm could offer some help to the ski industry88. 88.According to the passage, by about______, the ski industry is probably done.A. 2099B. 2050C. 2090D. 207089. 89.The passage is a(n)______.A. reportB. narrationC. expositionD. argumentation90. 90.An appropriate title for the passage should be______.A.

Ski and SnowThe American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) just released its updated guidelines for children'sThe recommendations reflect what all parents instinctively know: children need less screen time. The corollary, of course, is that they desperately need more free time to ignite their imaginations, develop a sense of wonder and discover their passions and purpose.While we at Melissa & Doug are thrilled the AAP has created stronger guardrails and suggestions to help parents navigate this challenging terrain, this is only the beginning. Our children are overstimulated, over-scheduled and under pressure to perform academically and beyond school. This diminishes their ability to build creative thinking skills essential to self-discovery. Inventiveness occurs when kids have time for curiosity and exploration. With children spending up to eight hours a day on media devices and additional hours engaging in scheduled activities, opportunities for growth are stifled.What we are not sure about is how to get our kids to want the free, screenless time we know will benefit them. It may sound counter-intuitive but today's kids (and, frankly, many of us) need coaching to experience and discover the benefits of free time.What came easily to parents a few decades ago has become a challenge for our generation. It's not that yesterday's parents knew more about child development; they simply had fewer options. Boredom and downtime were an inescapable part of daily life. Today, boredom and downtime are synonymous with, "I'm bad parent and not doing enough to get my kid ahead."Recently, I had an eye-opening revelation while watching my 11-year-old daughter play in a softball tournament. I have six children and have attended dozens of such tournaments. I know the drill — or thought I did. Families settled in for the day with lawn chairs, coolers, sunscreen and siblings in tow. These spectator brothers and sisters would gradually gravitate toward each other. Games of catch and hide-and-seek began; friendships were formed in the span of an inning. At crucial moments, the newfound friends turned their collective attention to the field to cheer on their teams.Bu that was not happening. Though there were at least 15 children by the sidelines, I did not hear any of them. They sat in a silent huddle using their individual tablets. Even with the score tied in the final inning with runners on base, not a single child watched the game or spoke to each other. The situation was surreal and revealing: Kids have more planned activities and passive entertainment at their fingertips than ever before, but less free time to dream, make-believe and focus on what they truly love.I get that making time for "nothing" is difficult in a world where we're constantly worried our kids will fall behind if they don't excel in sports and academics or rack up "likes" on the latest social media app.But I refuse to sit back and watch this loss of childhood. We are taking back childhood. Imagination needs time and space to blossom.91. 91.What do parents instinctively know about children's media use?A. Updated guideline have been released for children's media use.B. Children are spending more and more time on their tablets and smartphones.C. Children are instinctively good at **puter games.D. The amount of time children spend in front of a screen, including TV, computers and video games should be controlled.92. 92.The underlined word "desperately" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to______.A. in a desperate wayC. extremelyD. despicably93. 93.What inference can we get from what parents instinctively know?A. Parents need more free time to stimulate their imagination.B. Children are in desperate shortage of time.C. Parents are anxious to stimulate children's imagination and arouse their curiosity.D. Children should cut their screen time and find more time to stimulate their imagination, arouse their curiosity etc.94. 94.The underlined word "thrilled" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to______.A. very excited and pleasedB. scaredC. frightenedD. interested95. 95.What is the implied meaning of "guardrails" underlined in Paragraph 3?A.

Parents should be worried if their kids do not excel in sports and academics.The ambitious mayor of a big city backs a project to put a garden on a bridge. Acelebrated designer is appointed and seductive images released. It **pared to the High Line in New York — that urban phenomenon envied as much by rival cities as the Eiffel Tower once was. It provokes controversy.This much the Skygarden in Seoul has in common with Garden Bridge in London, but then their stories diverge. Where the London version has foundered, the Korean one will be opened this Saturday by Mayor Park Won-soon, a former activist who built his career on opposing both corruption and the conservative establishment, and supporting human rights.There are significant differences in the conception and execution of the two projects. They vary in cost (about £40m for the Skygarden and £200m-plus for the Garden Bridge) and, where the London project has spent many years not happening, the Seoul one has taken two years to take shape since its Dutch architects, MVRDV, were appointed in 2015.Where the Garden Bridge would have been a cherry on the already rich cake that is the center of London, the Skygarden aims to regenerate and connect places near the main railway station that have been fragmented by roads and rail tracks. The Skygarden, which will be open to all 24 hours a day, re-uses an existing structure —like the High Line —in the form of a 1970 motorway flyover that was no longer deemed safe for its original purpose.It is also part of a bigger set of ideas about taking a big, dense — sometimes ugly — city, one which was created without a great deal of concern for public space and pedestrian movement, and giving it qualities of walkability, neighborliness, human scale and shared enjoyment of its places. To this end, the mayor has encouraged a range of public works and created the post of city architect to help make them happen.The Skygarden is one of the more eye-catching examples of several initiatives promoted by the first holder of this job, Seung H-Sang, and his successor and ally Young Joon Kim.Seoul resembles other cities of East Asia such as Tokyo and Shanghai in its scale and rapid post-war expansion, while major western cities like New York and London also **parable pressures of growth. If Seoul gets its program right, it can set examples for other megacities to learn from. An inaugural Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism will be held this autumn to help get the message across.South Korea's capital is an ancient city, with a beautiful natural backdrop of mountains, which was devastated in the 20th century by Japanese occupation and the Korean War. It was reconstructed on American-inspired lines, with multi-lane highways criss-crossing the city. Economic and population growth —it has about 10 million **pared with 1 million in 1950, although the increase has now levelled off— caused the spaces between to be filled in at levels of density that are nearly twice New York's.It is a business-minded city, its desire for prosperity being sharpened by the traumas and poverty of its recent history, and the need to erect office blocks to serve its economy has usually taken precedence over architectural and urban finesse. The lower levels of buildings tend to be intensely colonized by commercial activity.。

CATTI三级笔译实务模拟题2020年(7)(总分100, 做题时间180分钟)English-Chinese Translation1.As digital technologies and automation have advanced, fears about workers' futures have increased. But, the end result does not have to be negative. The key is education.Already, robots are taking over a growing number of routine and repetitive tasks, putting workers in some sectors under serious pressure. In South Korea, which has the world's highest density of industrial robots — 631 per 10, 000 workers — manufacturing employment is declining, and youth unemployment is high. In the United States, the increased use of robots has, according to a 2017 study, hurt employment and wages.But while technological progress undoubtedly destroys jobs, it also creates them. The invention of motor vehicles largely wiped out jobs building or operating horse-drawn carriages, but generated millions more not just in automobile factories, but also in related sectors like road construction.The challenge today lies in the fact that the production and use of increasingly advanced technologies demand new, often higher-level skills, which cannot simply be picked up on the job. Given this, countries need to ensure that all of their residents have access to high-quality education and training programs that meet the needs of the labor market. The outcome of the race between technology and education will determine whether the opportunities presented by major innovations are seized, and whether the benefits of progress are widely shared.In a report by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), 66% of executives surveyed were dissatisfied with the skill level of young employees, and 52% said a skills gap was an obstacle to their firm's performance. Meanwhile, according to a survey, 21% of workers reported feeling over-educated for their jobs.This suggests that formal education is teaching workers the wrong things, and that deep reform is essential to facilitate the development of digital knowledge and technical skills, as well asnon-routine cognitive and non-cognitive (or "soft") skills. This includes the "four Cs of twenty-first century learning" (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, **munication) — areas where humans retain a considerable advantage over artificially intelligent machines.The process must begin during primary education, because only with a strong foundation can people take full advantage of later education and training. And in the economy of the future, that training willnever really end. Given rapid technological progress, improved opportunities for effective lifelong learning will be needed to enable workers to upgrade their skills continuously or learn new ones. At all levels of education, curricula should be made more flexible and responsive to changing technologies and market demands. One potential barrier to this approach is a dearth of well-trained teachers. Building a quality teaching force will require both monetary and non-monetary incentives for teachers and higher investment in their professional development.This includes ensuring that teachers have the tools they need to take full advantage of information **munication technology (ICT), which is not being used widely, despite its potential to ensure broad access to lifelong learning through formal and informal channels.ICT can also help to address shortages of qualified teachers and other educational resources by providing access across long distances, via online learning platforms. For example, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's OpenCourseWare enables students around the world to reach some of the world's foremost teachers.This points to the broader value of international cooperation. The education challenges raised by advancing technologies affect everyone, so countries should work together to address them,including through exchanges of students and teachers and construction and upgrading of ICT infrastructure.The artificial intelligence revolution will be hugely disruptive, but it will not make humans obsolete. With revamped education systems, we can ensure that technological progress makes all of our lives more hopeful, fulfilling, and prosperous.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI分值: 50答案:随着数字技术和自动化技术的发展,人们越来越担忧劳动者的未来。

英语翻译三级笔译实务模拟试题及答案解析(4)(1~5/共5题)Section ⅠEnglish Chinese TranslationTranslate the following two passages into Chinese .1 The increase in international business and in foreign investment has created a need for executives with knowledge of foreign languages and skills in cross-cultural communication. Americans, however, have not been well trained in either area and, consequently, have not enjoyed the same level of success in negotiation in all international arena as have their foreign counterparts.Negotiating is the process of communicating back and forth for the purpose of reaching an agreement. 2 It involves persuasion and compromise, but in order to participate in either one, the negotiators must understand the ways in which people are persuaded and how compromise is reached within the culture of the negotiation.In many international business negotiations abroad, Americans are perceived as wealthy and impersonal. 3 It often appears to the foreign negotiator that the American represents a large multimillion-dollar corporation that can afford to pay the price without bargaining further. The American negotiator's role becomes that of an impersonal surveyor of information and cash.In studies of American negotiators abroad, several traits have been identified that may serve to confirm this stereotypical perception, while undermining the negotiator's position. 4 Two traits in particular that cause cross-cultural misunderstanding are directness and impatience on the part of the American negotiator. Furthermore, American negotiators often insist on realizing short-term benefits. Foreign negotiators, on the other hand, may value the relationship established between negotiators and may be willing to invest time in it for long-term benefits.5 In order to solidify the relationship, they may opt for indirect interactions without regard for the time involved in getting to know the other negotiator.Clearly, perceptions and differences in values affect the outcomes of negotiations and the success for negotiators. For Americans to play a more effective role in international business negotiations, they must put forth more effort to improve cross-cultural understanding.第1题第2题第3题第4题第5题下一题(1/1)Section ⅡChinese-English TranslationTranslate the following passage into English .第6题1.“技术转让”的基本设想是:发达国家利用新发现开发技术会给发展中国家带来适用的成果。

2020年下半年英语三级笔译(CATTI 3) 实务考试真题及参考译文Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.At 51, Cathy wanted to put her Oxford physics degree and former experience to better use. she had worked part-time in a school for several years while her three children were young, but she wanted to get back into the corporate world. Several applications later, she was getting nowhere. Then a friend told her about “returnships”, a form of work experience that some companies are experimenting with to help middle-aged people--mainly women--return to work, often after breaks to care for families.Cathy eventually secured a place on an 11-week“Career returners”program with a company, open to men and women, which included being paired with a 20-year-old male student. He helped to acquaint her with new technology, such as using an iPhone and accessing the company’s virtual network from her laptop so she could work from home but still access internal files.“On the assessment day, I thought they must have been looking at my project management skills. But they weren’t looking at us for specific roles. They were just thinking, ‘these women have a lot to offer, let’s see what they can do.’That was refreshing.” A clutch of companies in the UK and the U.S. have spotted an opportunity in hiring female returnees, who can put to use again technical skills learned earlier in their careers.They believe middle-aged women returning after a break make particularly good employees, because they bring a fresh perspective. Women tend to combine high emotional intelligence with strong leadership and organizational skills. “There is a massive pool of highly skilled people who want to return to work”, says the head of human resources of an engineering company.“Recruitment agencies typically view people who have had two years out as a risk, but we see them as a great opportunity.”In fact, by hiring female returnees,companies can access good skills these women developed in their former high-level jobs--and for a discount. In return,employers coach these middle-aged females back into working life. Through her returnship, Cathy gained a full-time role as an operations data consultant. She still is earning less than she would like to, “but it’s a foot in the door and the salary is up for review in six months,”she says. It is still overwhelmingly women who stay home to care for young children. UK government figures show that women account for around 90 percent of people on career breaks for caring reasons. A lack of middle-aged women working, particularly in high skilled roles, is costing the UK economy £50 billion a year, according to a report. The report found that men over 50 took home nearly two-thirds of the total wages paid out to everyone in that age range in 2015. It blamed the pay gap on the low-skilled, part-time roles middle-aged women often accept. Some 40 percent of women in work in the UK do so part-time, as opposed to only 11 percent of men. This issue is not restricted to the UK. A study last year by economists found “strong evidence of age discrimination in hiring against older women”in a range of white- and blue-collar jobs. The data show that it is harder for middle-aged women to find jobs than it is for middle-aged men, regardless of whether they have taken a break from working.【参考译文】:51岁的凯茜希望更好地利用她的牛津大学物理学学位以及先前的工作经验。

2020年11月翻译专业资格考试(CATTI)三级笔译实务英语【英译汉】In December 2019, a cluster of pneumonia cases were found. Scientists believe that it was caused by a previously unknown virus- Now named COVID-19.Coronaviruses have the appearance of a crown. Crown in Latin is called "corona" and that's how these viruses got their name. There are different types of coronaviruses that cause respiratory and sometimes gastrointestinal of symptoms.It's known that coronaviruses circulate in a range of animals. But the animals which transmit COVID-19 are not known yet. And the exact dynamics of how the virus is transmitted is yet to be determined.From what is known so far, there can be a number of symptoms ranging from mild to severe. There can be fever and respiratory symptoms such as cough and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, there's been pneumonia, kidney failure and death. There is currently no specific medication for the virus and treatment is supportive care. There is currently no vaccine to protect against the virus. Treatment and vaccines are in development.Nevertheless, we are committed to combatting the COVID-19 epidemic. It's certainly troubling that so many people and countries have been affected, so quickly. Now that the virus has a foothold in so many countries, the threat of a pandemic has become very real. But it would be the first pandemic in history that could be controlled. The bottom line is: we are not at the mercy of this virus.The great advantage we have is that the decisions we all make-as governments, businesses, communities, families and individuals- can influence the trajectory of the epidemic. We need to remember that with decisive, early action, we can slow down the virus and prevent infections. Among those who are infected, most will recover.It's also important to remember that looking only at the total number of reported cases and the total number of countries doesn't tell the full story. This is an uneven epidemic at the global level. Different countries are in different scenarios, requiring a tailored response. It's not about containment or mitigation. It's about both.All countries must take a comprehensive blended strategy for controlling their epidemics and pushing this deadly virus back. Countries that continue finding and testing cases and tracing their contacts not only protect their own people, they can alsoaffect what happens in other countries and globally. The WHO has consolidated its guidance for countries in four categories: those with no case; those with sporadic cases; those with clusters; and those with community transmission. For all countries, the aim is the same: stop transmission and prevent the spread of the virus.For the first three categories, countries must focus on finding, testing, treating and isolating individual cases and following their contacts. In areas with community spread, testing every suspected case and tracing their contacts become more challenging. Action must be taken to prevent transmission at the community level to reduce the epidemic to manageable clusters.【汉译英】水稻是世界上最主要的粮食作物之一,世界上一半以上人口(包括中国60%以上人口)都以稻米作为主食。

2020年翻译三级笔译实务模拟题:智者的眼睛

2020年翻译三级笔译实务模拟题:智者的眼睛智者的眼睛电台请一位商界奇才做嘉宾主持,大家非常希望能听他谈谈成功之路。

但他仅仅淡淡一笑,说:“还是出个题考考大家吧。

”“某地发现了金矿,人们一窝蜂地拥去,不过一条大河挡住了必经之路。

是你,会怎么办?”有人说“绕道走”,也有人说“游过去”。

商界奇才含笑不语,最后他说:“为什么非得去淘金,为什么不能够买一条船展开营运?”大家愕然。

商界奇才说:“那样的情况,就是‘宰’得渡客只剩下一条短裤,他们也会心甘情愿的。

因为,前面有金矿啊!”干他人不想干的,做他人不曾做的,这就是成功之道。

困境在智者眼中,往往意味着一个潜在的机遇。

How a Wise Man Sees ItA man recognized as a genius in business circles was invited as a guest of honor to a TV interview. Everybody was eager to hear a success story from him. He, however, only said with a slight smile:“Wouldn’t it be better for me to ask you for advice on a certain problem?”Here is the problem he raised:People all rushed to the place where a gold mine had recently been discovered, but they were blocked by a river flowing across the only way to it. What would you do if you were among them?“Make a roundabout way,” someone suggested.“Swim across,” said another.The genius smiled without a word. Eventually he gave his view:“Why not do something else instead of rushing to the mine? How about buying a boat to do some ferrying?”The audience was shocked. He explained calmly:“The man could extort money from the passengers to the greatest extent. They would have been willing to pay because there was gold on the other bank.”Do what others would not like to do or do something never attempted before by others – that is the key to success. A straitened circumstance, in the eyes of a wise man, often means a potential chance for success.。

How a Wise Man Sees It
A man recognized as a genius in business circles was
invited as a guest of honor to a TV interview. Everybody was eager to hear a success story from him. He, however, only said with a slight smile: “Wouldn’t it be better for me to ask you for advice on a certain problem?”
Here is the problem he raised:
People all rushed to the place where a gold mine had recently been discovered, but they were blocked by a river flowing across the only way to it. What would you do if you were among them?
“Make a roundabout way,” someone suggested.
“Swim across,” said another.
The genius smiled without a word. Eventually he gave his view: “Why not do something else instead of rushing to the mine? How about buying a boat to do some ferrying?”
The audience was shocked. He explained calmly: “The man could extort money from the passengers to the greatest extent. They would have been willing to pay because there was gold on the other bank.”
Do what others would not like to do or do something never attempted before by others – that is the key to success.
A straitened circumstance, in the eyes of a wise man, often means a potential chance for success.。
