Most people who can’t sleep are their own worst enemies. They go to bed too early.For every person who works most efficiently on the usual eight hours of sleep a night, two work best on five or six, and two on nine or ten. V oltaire made do with three hours but Sir Winston Churchill would happily sleep for 12～14 hours at a stretch if he could.So how much sleep does a person really need? It seems that the national average for men is seven hours and ten minutes, and for women ten minutes less, but everyone’s needs are different. Find out what you need and, according to Dr. Ernest Hartmann, one of America’s leading sleep scientists, you’re well on your way to allowing your body to work at its greatest efficiency.After studying the sleep h abits of nearly 1000 people, Dr Hartmann believes it’s the amount of deep sleep we get that really matters. We all need roughly the same amount—about 75 minutes a night. The rest, a shallower type of sllep, vaies greatly from person to person.How much of the second type of sleep, you need seems to depend on what sort of person you are. According to Dr. Hartmann short sleepers—those sleeping less than six hours a night—were busy, active people, employed in demanding jobs, and often worked a 60 or 70-hour week. Most of them had started sleeping shorter hours to deal with the pressure of schoolwork or business and fornd that a few hours sleep a nightwas quite enough. Their defence against worry and stress was usually “to keep so busy that I don’t have time to think about these things. ...”Most of the long sleepers —those needing at least nine hours —were self-employed. Almost all of them had slept for nine hours a night since late childhood, long before their work pattern became fixed. They tended to complain more than the short sleepers and several admitted that sleeping was an escape from life.In the past it was believed that too much sleep could be just as disturbing as too little, but now a study in America has shown that many people can enjoy ten hours or more and still be able to sleep through the following night.A sleep researcher says:“No one should worry about not sleeping unless they are not feeling well or cannot do their work properly. Lack of sleep doesn’t matter greatly if we are resting—the body can still get on with its repain work. But worrying about not sleeping can sometimes do you harm. There would be far less sleeplessness about if we planned our sleeping lives as carefully as we plan our waking ones.”1. According to the passage, people have difficulty getting to sleep because.A. they work more than sixty hours a weekB. they have too many enemiesC. they do not sleep happilyD. they are not tired enough2. In comparison with V oltaire, Sir Winston Churchill.A. was happier with three hours of sleepB. would sleep more when stretched outC. world enjoy a longer sleep if possibleD. was less happy when he was asleep3. Studies show that the average woman.A. sleeps less than the average manB. sleeps longer when she goes out to workC. has difficulty in getting to sleepD. sleeps over eight hours a night4. Dr. Harmann is mentioned in the passage.A. as the opponent of Dr. Ian OswaldB. because he has strange sleeping habitsC. as the pioneering sleep scientistD. because of his observation and analysis of sleep habits5. Not being able to sleep can be dangerous if we.A. are feeling wellB. worry about it too muchC. repair our bodies by restingD. plan our sleeping lives carefullyQuestions 6～10I think it was De Mandeville who suggested a river party for the staffs of the various embassies. Nor, on the face of it, was the idea a bad one. All winter long the logs come down the River Sava until the frost locks them in: now with the spring thaw the river has a pontoon of treetrunks some forty feet wide lining the bank under the willows so that you can walk out over the river, avoiding the margins, and swim in the deep water.These logs had been made into a hundred feet by sixty—big enough even to dance on. While everyone was dancing the rumba and while the buffet was plying a heavytrade, it was noticed that the distance between the raft and the shore had noticeably increased. The gang-plank subsided in the ooze. It was not a great distance—perhaps ten feet. But owing to the solid resistance such a large raft set up in the main current the pull was definitely outward. But as yet nobody was alarmed; indeed most of the party thought it was part of a planned entertainment.As we approached the next bend of the river it looked as if the whole thing would run aground on the bank, and a few of us made preparations to grab hold of the overhanging willows and halt our progress. But by ill luck a change in the current carried us just too far into the centre of the river and we were carried past the spit of land, vainly groping at the tips of bushes.It was about another five minutes before the full significance of our position began to dawn upon us. By this time we were moving in stately fashion down the centre of the river, all lit up like a Christmas tree. Exclamations, suggestions, counter suggestions poured from the lips of the diplomates and their spouses in a dozen tongues.Unknown to us, too, other factors were being introduced which were to make this a memorable night for us all. Spy-mania was at its height and the Yugoslav forces lived in a permanent state of alertness. There were frequent rumours of armed raids from Czechoslovakia.It was in this context that some Yugoslav infantryman at an observation post along the river saw what he took to be a large armed man on war full of Czech paratroops in dinner jackets and ball dresses sailing upon Belgrade. He did not wait to verify this first impression. He galloped into Belgrade Castle a quarter of an hour later on a foam-flecked mule with the news that the city was about to be invaded.6. According to the passage, a river party was practicable because__________.A. the river was lined with willow treesB. the banks were not muddy at this timeC. there was a suitable surface for walking onD. there was not too much frost at this season7. The raft started moving from the shore because___________.A. the gang-plank had fallen in the mudB. the buffet was too heavyC. it was too large to stay in placeD. the organisers wanted to surprise the guests8. The raft did not stop at the next bend because_______________.A. there was too much mud on the river bankB. There were only bushes to catch hold ofC. the current made it swirl outwardsD. the water was not shallow enough9. According to the passage, people on the raft were____________.A. completely unaware of their situationB. quarrelling angrilyC. indignant with the organizers of the partyD. anxious to help solve the problem10. The Yugoslav look out made a mistake because______________.A. the party were dressed in soldiers’ uniformsB. the raft was sailing towards BelgradeC. many of the party were armedD. he was affected by the general tensionQuestions 11～15The elephants left the shade, crossed an open piece of grass between bushes, and came towards the mud-pool where my truck was parked. One by one they arrived on the shore, but, just as they seemed to be about to bathe in the inviting muddy liquid, they became aware of the silent truck with its tell-tale smell of man. the leading elephant merely spread her ears and cautiously backed away taking the young elephants with her.A smaller mother elephant continued to stand next to the pool, however, swinging her long trunk and swaying her head from side to side, always keeping an eye on the truck. The baby elephant behind her held up his head, waving his trunk to sample the suspicious smell in the wind. The mother elephant seemed to be uncertain about whether to come on and investigate the truck or to back away with the other. Finally she made up her mind and slowly advanced on the truck. Her ears were helf out, and her trunk moved inquiringly towards the vehicle and then back under her stomach in a rhythmic swing.I was fascinated by this close approach. Never before had I been able to see the hairiness around the jaw, nor smell the warm scent of elephant, which now reached me in concentrat ed waves. The mother elephant’s steps were slow but determine, and brought her to within a couple of metres of me.She gave the impression of being intensely curious about this metal object with had appeared in her world and behaved as if it were itself an animal. I wondered how far she would accept the situation and, if after all the centuries of men killing elephant, she would ever allow me to approach her on foot. To be able to move freely among theelephants without their minding was an exciting thought, but I certainly did not expect it would ever be possible.11. It was the elephants’ intention to___________.A. feed on the grassB. lie in the sunshineC. swim in the poolD. avoid the mud12. The presence of the writer and his vehicle______________.A. was not noticed by the elephantsB. made the leading elephant suspiciousC. made the adult elephants curiousD. frightened all the elephants away13. How did the smaller elephant react to the truck?A. She showed more curiosity than other elephants.B. She kept her baby away from it.C. After some hesitation she moved away with other elephants.D. She rushed up to it excitedly.14. While he watched the mother elephant approaching, the author______________.A. was worried that the elephants were too closeB. found the smell very unpleasantC. was impressed by the elephant’s sizeD. saw the details he had not noticed before15. The author did not expect he would ever be able to_________________.A. see the elephants killedB. touch the elephantsC. walk about freely near the elephantsD. drive his truck close to the elephantsQuestions 16～20Whatever may be said against mass circulation magazines and newspapers, it can hardly be argued that they are out of touch with their reader’s daydreams, and therefore the inducements such as gifts and prizes and prizes they hold out to them must be a near accurate reflection of their unfulfilled wants and aspirations. Study these and you will assuredly understand a good deal of what it is that makes society tick.Looking back, for example, to the twenties and thirties, we can see that circulation managers unerringly diagnosed the twin obsessions which dominated that era of mass unemployment-economic insecurity and a passionate concern for the next generation. Thus it was that readers were recruited with offers of free insurance policies for the one, and free instant, or an arm in a flood, could confidently expect to collect several hundred pounds from the Daily This of the Evening That. The family who could not afford to send their son to grammar school could find consolation in equipping him with the complete works of Shakespeare in one magnificent, easy to read volume.After the war the need to fall into step with the new consumer society was soon realised. If you were flanked by neighbours who, unlike you, could afford a holiday abroad, then winning an easy competition could set you up with a fortnight in an exotic sunspot. Dishwashers, washing machines, slow-cookers and deep-fat-friers were—and still are — available by the same means.16. The writer finds the study of gifts and prizes interesting because it_____________.A. shows the power of the popular pressB. reveals social trendsC. confirms his view of human natureD. exposes journalistic dishonesty17. It can be inferred from the passage that newspapers in the 1920s and 1930s offered their readers gifts in order to______________.A. spread popular educationB. increase their circulationC. improve social conditionsD. enrich their readers’ knowledge18. The choice of gifts tells us that the circulation managers______________.A. despised their readersB. wanted to educate their readersC. understood their readersD. enjoyed being powerful19. According to the passage, one of the reasons why readers in the 1920s and 130s were attracted by free insurance policies was that_____________.A. they were afraid of being unable to workB. jobs were more dangerous thenC. they had bigger families to look afterD. money was given away with the policies20. Why did holidays abroad become a common prize after the war?A. People became more interested in material possessions.B. Everyone wanted the opportuity to travel.C. Group travel became easier.D. People wanted to get away from familiar surroundings.Questions 21～25Extract 1A stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet ad 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 area which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining-room by a high Medieval-styled archway where there 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 panelling over them.As wood panelling can be secured over almost anything—including old ceramic tiles and chipped walls—it is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration. The panelling 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 Rayburn stove was 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 farmhouse table in the foreground, and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display. What about the kitchen sink? It’s hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery.

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 1~5In some rural agricultural societies, the collection of available fuel such as firewood, dung cake, and agricultural waste can take 200 to 300 person-days per year. As well as being time consuming, the typical patterns of collection lead to deforestation, soil erosion, and ecological imbalances. In the future, experts predict that even if food supplies are adequate for rural populations, fuel supplies for domestic use may not be.In the light of such considerations, a team in India has developed a solar oven for home use. The oven is cheaply constructed, easily operated, and extremely energy efficient. The device consists of an inner and outer metal box, a top cover, and two panes of plain glass. The inner box is painted black to absorb maximum solar radiation. The space between the two boxes is filled with an insulating material, such as rice husks, which are easily available and which, because of their high silicon content, neither attract insects nor rot easily. Other easily available materials for insulation are ground nutshells or coconut shells. An adjustable mirror mounted on one side of the oven box reflects the sunlight into the interior, boosting the temperatures by 15-30 degrees Celsius. This is most useful during the winter when the sun is lower. Inside the oven, a temperature between 80 and 120 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature can be maintained. This is sufficient to cook food gradually but surely. Trials have shown that all typical food dishes can be prepared in this solar device without loss of taste or nutrition.1.This passage is mainly about .(A)deforestation in the rural agricultural societies(B)use of rice husks as an insulation material(C)design and use of a solar oven(D)maintenance of temperature in a solar oven2. All of the following are mentioned as sources of energy of rural agricultural societies EXCEPT .(A) firewood (B) dung cake(C) solar power (D) agricultural waste3.The word “domestic”(paragraph 1) is closest in me aning to .(A) industrial (B) agricultural(C) natural (D) household4. According to the passage, the use of an adjustable mirror increases the oven temperature by .(A) 80-120 degrees Celsius (B) at least 80 degrees Celsius(C) up to 30 degrees Celsius (D) up to 15 degrees Celsius5.According to the passage, the adjustable mirror is most useful .(A) at midday (B) when it is cold(C) When firewood is lacking (D) in improving taste and nutritionQuestions 6~10There must be few questions on which responsible opinion is so utterly divided as on that of how much sleep we ought to have. There are some who think we can leave body to regulate these matters for itself. “The answer is easy,” says Dr.. A. Burton. “With the right amount of sleep you should wake up fresh and alert five minutes before the alarm rings.” If he is right many people must be under sleeping, including myself. But we must remember that some people have a grater inertia than others. This is not meant rudely. They switch on slowly, and they are reluctant to switch off. They are alert at bedtime and sleepy when it is time to get up, and 更多精品在大家！大家网，大家的！6/1278861602.doc this many have nothing to do with how fatigued their bodies are, or how much sleep they must take to lose their fatigue.Other people feel sure that the present trend is towards too little sleep. To quote one medical opinion, “Thousands of people drift through life suffering from the effects of too little sleep; the reason is not that can’t sleep. Like advancing colonists, we do seem to be grasping ever more of the land of sleep for our waking needs, pushing the boundary back and reaching, apparently, for a point in our evolution where we will sleep no more. This in itself, of course, need not be a bad thing. What could be disastrous, however, is that we should press to quickly towards this goal, sacrificing sleep only to gain more time in which to jeopardize our civilization by actions and decisions made weak by fatigue.”Then, to complete the picture, there are those who believe that more people are persuaded to sleep too much. Dr H. Roberts, writing in Every Man in, asserts: “It may safely be stated that, just as the majority eat too much, so the majority sleep too much.” One can see the point of th is also. It would be a pity to retard our development by holding back those people who are gifted enough to work and play well less than the average amount of sleep, if indeed it does them no harm. If one of the trends of evolutions is that more of the life span is to be spent in gainful waking activity, then surely these people are in the van of this advance.6.The author seems to indicate that .(A)there are many controversial issues like the right amount of sleep(B)among many issues the right amount of sleep is the least controversial(C)the right amount of sleep is topic of much controversy among doctors(D)people are now moving towards solving many controversial issues concerning sleep7.According to the author, sleeping habits .(A)are related to the amount of sleep(B)are inherited from the parents(C)vary from person to person(D)would not change in one’s lifetime8.The world “jeopardize” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to .(A) endeavor (B) endanger(C) endorse (D) endow9. In the last paragraph the author points out that .(A)sleeping less is good for human health(B)people ought to be persuaded to sleep less than before(C)it is incorrect to say that people too little(D)those who can sleep less should be encouraged10. We learn from the passage that the author .(A)revises someone else’s opinion(B)explains an opinion of his own(C)favors one of the three opinions(D)comments on three different opinionsQuestions 11~15She looked in the pockets of the black leather jacket he had reluctantly worn the night before. Three of his suits, a pair of blue twill work pants, an old gray sweater with a hood and pockets lay thrown across the bed. The jacket leather was sleazy and damply clinging to her hands. She had bought it for him, as well as the three suits: one light blue with side vents, one gold with green specks, and one reddish that had a silver imitation-silk vest. The pockets of the jacket came softly outward from the lining like skinny milk toast rats. Empty. Slowly she sank down on the bed and began to knead, with blunt anxious fingers, all the pockets in all the clothes piled around her. First the blue suit, then the gold with green, then the reddish one that he said he didn’t like most of 大家网，大家的！更多精品在大家！大家网7/12all, but which he would sometimes wear if she agreed to stay home, or if she promised not to touch anywhere at all while he was getting dressed.She was a big awkward woman, with big bones and hard rubbery flesh. Her short arms ended in ham hands, and her neck was a squat roll of fat that protruded behind her head as a big bump. Her skin was rough and puffy, with plump mole like freckles down her cheeks. Her eyes glowered from under the mountain of her brow and were circled with expensive mauve shadow. They were nervous and quick when she was flustered and darted about at nothing in particular while she was dressing hair or talking to people.Her troubles started noticeably when she fell in love with a studiously quiet schoolteacher, Mr. Jerome Franklin Washington III, who was ten years younger th an her. She told herself that she shouldn’t want him, he was so little and cute and young, but when she took into account that he was a schoolteacher, well, she just couldn’t seem to get any rest until, as she put it, “I were Mr. And Mrs. Jerome Franklin W ashington the third, and that’s the truth!”11. The word “sleazy” (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to .(A) lacking moisture (B) lacking persistence(C) lacking substance (D) lacking confidence12.

According to the passage, which of the following can be concluded form the passage about this couple?(A)They will live happily ever after.(B)Their marriage is not harmonious.(C)The couple will adopt children.(D)They will become schoolteachers.Questions 16~20An anthropologist recorded the expenses for ceremonies he attended in a village in Thailand.

Not all experts agree, however, that this is a good idea.One pioneer, in particular, who disagrees is David Tebbutt, the founder of Computertown UK. Although many people see this as a successful attempt to bring people closer to the computer, David does not see it that way. He says that Computertown UK was formed for just the opposite reason, to bring computers to the people and make them “people-literate”.David first got the idea when he visited one of America’s best-known computer “guru”figure, Bob Albrecht, in the small university town of Palo Alto in Northern California. Albrecht has started a project called Computertown USA in the local library, and the local children used to call round every Wednesday to borrow大家网，大家的！更多精品在大家！大家网9/12 some time on the computers there, instead of borrowing library books. Albrecht was always on hand to answer any questions and to help the children discover about computers in their own way.Over here, in Britain, Computertowns have taken off in a big way, and there are now about 40 scattered over the country. David Tebbutt thinks they are most successful when tied to a computer club. He insists there is a vast and important difference between the two, although they complement each other. The clubs cater for the enthusiasts, with some computer knowledge already, who get together and eventually form an expert computer group. This frightens away non-experts, who are happier going to Computertowns where there are computers available for them to experiment on, with experts available to encourage them and answer any questions; they are not told what to do, they find out.David Tebbutt finds it in teresting to see the two different approaches working side by side. The computer experts have to learn not to tell people about computers, but have to be able to explain the answers to the questions that people really want to know. In some Computertowns there are question sessions, rather like radio phone-ins, where the experts listen to a lot of questions and then try to work out some structure to answer them. People are not having to learnComputer jargons, but the experts are having to translate computer mysteries into easily understood terms; the computers are becoming “people-literate”.21. According to David Tebbutt, the purpose of Computertown UK is .(A)to train people to understand how computers work(B)to make more computers available to people(C)to enable more people to fix computers themselves(D)to help people find out more about computers22. We learn from the passage that Computertown USA is located in .(A) the university town (B) the project center(C) the local library (D) the elementary school23. The phrase “take off”(paragraph 4) means .(A) transfer to another vessel (B) cause to lose weight(C) begin to develop markedly (D) cause to leave the ground24. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?(A)Computertowns in the UK have become popular.(B)Computertowns and clubs cater for different people.(C)Computertowns are more successful than clubs.(D)Computertowns and clubs complement each other.Questions 26~30Natural selection is the way nature chooses which organisms survive. Chance mutations occur in response to chemicals of certain energy in the electromagnetic spectrum. If the mutant is better adapted to the environment, it thrives. If not, it dies out or becomes rare.Humans have used artificial selection to reproduce plants and animals with desirable characteristics. Many of these domesticated plants and animals can no longer survive in the wild. Their survival depends on the maintenance of an artificial environment and the desires of people.People select certain desired traits such as color, beauty, or scent (as in roses). Other traits which are bred artificially include uniqueness (as in the neck plumage of the prized Jacobin pigeon), size (as in miniature horses), meat quality or milk yield (as in cattle), or resistance to disease (as in fungus-resistant tomatoes). The traits usually selected for convenience, pleasure, or financial gain of individuals. In this way, humans act as agents of evolution through artificial selection.Individual specimens with the desired traits are crossbred. The hybrid offspring are then inbred to preserve 更多精品在大家！大家网，大家的！10/1278861602.doc and fix the desirable characteristics and eliminate unfavorable characteristicsFrom the stock.A pure breed is formed when there is not any mixture of other genes over many generations. The American Kennel Club recognizes 121 breeds of purebred dogs. When ancestors of a pure breed are known and registered by a breed club, the dog is said to have a pedigree.26. Some people argue that it would do more harm than good for plants and animals to develop throughartificial selection. Which statement best supports this argument?(A)Roses no longer smell like roses.(B)Purebred dogs are disappearing.(C)Humans are harmful agents of plant and animal evolution.(D)Many domesticated plants and animals can no longer survive in the wild.27. The author cites the dog as an example of artificial selection because of all the following statementsEXCEPT that .(A)Dogs are domestic animals(B)The dog is one of nature’s survivors(C)Breeders register dogs to obtain a pedigree(D)Humans have been the primary agents in dog evolution28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the result of artificial selection by humanity?(A)Many new kinds of plants and animals are produced.(B)Financial gain is increased considerably by producing better plants and animals.(C)Humans are able to control plant and animal reproduction for humans’ pleasure.(D)It is necessary for humans to maintain the artificial environments.29. Breeding the hybrid offspring to fix desirable traits is called .(A) naturally selecting (B) inbreeding(C) pedigree breeding (D) pure-breeding30. A farmer imported several fine long wool Tomney sheep from Australia to breed with his Debouittet sheepin hopes of increasing the value of the floc k’s wool. This is an example of .(A) pure-breeding (B) crossbreeding(C) reproducing (D) cloningSECTION 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.Both language and culture are learned by children without special organized programs of instruction, but motivation to learn is very high since language is the most effective means for a child to obtain what he or she wants. If the learning of a new language begins before lower adolescence, one is likely to be able to speak such a language with complete naturalness, but if learned after upper adolescence some hangover of a mother-tongue feature is very likely to persist. But not only do languages exhibit such learning patterns, but so do cultural traits, for example, shaking hands, kissing, and embracing.Although many persons assume that languages exist in dictionaries and grammars, in fact they only exist in people’s heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a they only exist in people’s heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a person’s value system when crucial decisions need to be made before there is any time to think about alternatives, for example, diving into a flooding stream to rescue a drowning child.SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2) (30 minutes)大家网，大家的！更多精品在大家！。

2000_11上海市英语中级口译资格证书第二阶段考试[参考答案]

2000.11上海市英语中级口译资格证书第二阶段考试A卷参考答案:Part APassage 1:本书是想要帮助没有写书经验的作者。

第一章作为介绍，主要谈了两点。

//首先，谈到一个人只要想写，就可以写得好。

其次，谈到任何人只要愿意努力工作，并且会使用写作工具，就可以写作。

//如果有人说他不会写作，意思多半是指他没有写作经验或者说他当时没有什么好写。

//然而，一旦在他的头脑里一个题目或一种思路已经形成，词句也会油然而生，那时，声称不是作家的人会突然开始像作家那样写作。

Passage 2:布里斯托尔的确是一座非常美丽、有趣和迷人的城市。

美丽的公园和花园里到处是趣味盎然的路径，旧时代的房屋和建筑昂然挺立在城市的山坡上。

//然而，布里斯托尔并非仅仅如此；那还是座现代化的城市，有当代艺术的最新作品，也有有趣和丰富多样的夜生活。

//布里斯托尔的四周有美丽的乡村，起伏不断的山地，以及一流的度假胜地。

从这里出发到一些全国最迷人的旅游景点，如城堡和宫殿，只有短短的一段车程。

// 布里斯托尔一向重视旅游业，欢迎来自世界各的游客。

当地有一流的住宿可供选择，还有其引以为自豪的众多餐馆和咖啡馆。

Part BPassage 1:Today, we are very happy to meet here and exchange views on cooperation in a wide range of areas, on the basis of equality and in a friendly manner. //Looking back on the past experiences and into the future, I believe we should enhance mutual understanding and trust, and promote technical exchanges and cooperation. // We are prepared to increase cooperation with major multinational corporations in the world, and carry out major reforms in business management structure. //I am convinced that our reform will provide both sides with tremendous investment and trade opportunities, thus making positive contributions to the economic development of theAsia-Pacific region.Passage 2:The People’s Republic of China is a united multi-national state founded jointly by the people of all nationalities. So far, there are 56 nationalities. //Compared with the Han nationality, China’s other 55 ethnic groups have a relatively small population, thus they are customarily referred to as ethnic minorities. //According to the fourth national census conducted in 1990, the Han nationality accounts for 92 percent of the country’s total population, and minority ethnic groups account for 8 percent. //During China’s long history of development, the people of various nationalities in China migrated and mingled, which eventually brought about today’s distribution.口译题录音文字稿:Part ADirections: Is this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English.

Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now let’s begin Part A with the first passage.Passage 1:This book tries to help the inexperienced writer. The first chapter, which is meant as a kind of introduction, contains two main ideas. //First, it says that a person writes best when he wants to write. Second, it says that anyone can write if he is willing to work hard at it and has access to writing tools and instruments. // If someone says that he cannot write, he probably means that he either has no experience as a writer or knows of nothing to say at the moment. //But once a subject or an idea comes alive in his mind, the words also begin to come to life and the person who claims that he is not a writer suddenly begins to act like one.Passage 2:Bristol is a truly beautiful, interesting and fascinating city. Beautiful parks and gardens leak onto interesting lanes and footpaths, while houses and buildings of old times stand magnificently on the hills of the city. //But Bristol is much more than this; it is a modern city where the latest works in contemporary arts can be found and where the night- life is interesting and varied. // Bristol is surrounded by beautiful countryside, rolling hills, and top class holiday resorts. Some of the country’s most fascinating tourist attractions—castles and palaces—are only a short drive away. //Bristol has always encouraged the tourist industry and welcomed tourists from all parts of the world. There is a superb choice of accommodation available and the city is proud of its many restaurants and cafes.Part BDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in Chinese.

2. 关于自杀的一个错误概念，是认为自杀的大都是老年人或行将就木者。

事实是50岁以下的人更容易自杀。

了解工作环境的一个方法是把一个机构看作一个交流系统。

如果一个机构有着公开的交流渠道，内部上下沟通，信息真实可靠，那么它就是颇有工作效能的，在这里工作比在一个企图限制信息交流或进行歪曲和欺骗的机构中工作要好得多。

领导如果什么事情都不对员工讲，员工就会对领导不信任。

这就破坏了他们的合作。

懂得公开真诚的交流和可靠信息的价值和重要性是不难的。

然而，只有极少数的机构可以做到这点。

从长远来看，交流不好，会破坏整个机构。

限制沟通和曲解信息是短期行为的思路。

我们必须避免这些愚昧、短视的陷阱，不断地努力营造一个以客观信息为基础的沟通体系。

SECTION 4: TRANSLATION (2)The Chinese people have been a freedom-and-peace-loving nation. They have always hoped for the world to be at peace and the peoples of various countries to co-exist peacefully. Having suffered from wars and foreign aggression in modern times, the Chinese people treasure freedom and peace all the more. Every nation needs a peaceful and stable international and domestic environment for its construction and development. The freedom of a country or nation is the prerequisite and base of the freedom of any individual.We hope that all nations can live in a world free from war and violence and that people from all parts of the world can enjoy freedom without oppression, discrimination, bullying and humiliation.听力测试题录音文字稿:SECTION 1: LISTENING TESTPart A: Sport 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 let’s begin Part A with Spot Dictation.Experience is the great teacher. A student needs to be well versed in the theory. In otherwords, he can learn a great deal from books, but it is the experience of the situations and the application of this knowledge that will eventually count. With this in mind, many schools nowadays have incorporated into their curricula activities of outdoor education, such as field trips, camping holidays and mountain area expeditions. To our students from large cities, the countryside has two fascinating aspects: one is the vast wealth of wild life, historical relics and scenic grandeur that is part of our heritage; the other is the pure joy of physical exhilaration which is part and parcel of every trek or exploration. If we fail to exploit both to the full, we are the losers. While enjoying the former, we have moved into the realms of the latter without realising it. There should be no doubt about the very real physical benefits to be gained by participating in out-door activities. Although physical education in schools has expanded considerably, the general picture is still of isolated classroom periods dotted here and there throughout the academic year. In the wider field of outdoor activities, however, the physical effort, even though it may only involve walking, continues over long periods and often on a daily basis for several days on end. The physical improvement is very obvious and can easily be measured after as short a time as, say, ten days.The wide range of outdoor activities increases the opportunities for success. And there are many instances in which young students have tasted the lasting satisfaction of their first real achievement, often under testing situations. This is a basic essential and breeds self-respect as well as respect for others. Furthermore, it often produces an air of self-confidence which more formal education may well have damaged in some students.Part B: Listening ComprehensionⅠ. StatementsDirections: In this part of the test you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken ONL Y 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.Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following interview in a sport programme. (Woman) Mr. Deluca, you’ve been a racing-driver for nearly 10 years. You’ve had a very dangerous life, haven’t you? I mean, you’ve almost been killed a couple of timesduring these years, haven’t you?(Man) Yes, I suppose that’s right.(Woman) When was your worst accident?(Man) I’d say last year. It was during the British Grand Prix last September. In the the middle of the race I smashed into a wall. The car was completely ruined and my leftleg was broken. Luckily, nobody was killed.(Woman) Is that the only time you’ve been… er… close to death?(Man) No. Once, during the Mexican Grand Prix, two cars in front of me had a bad accident. One of them ran into the other. I swerved to avoid them and hit a fence.My car was badly damaged but luckily I wasn’t ev en hurt.(Woman) You must enjoy danger. I mean, you wouldn’t be a racing-driver if you didn’t, would you?(Man) I don’t know about that. I had a very frightening experience quite recently. I was frightened to death! I thought I was going to be killed at any moment. (Woman) Really? When was that? During your last race?(Man) No. It was on my way to this studio. I had to drive through London streets during the lunch hour. There were so many cars all around me and they are so close to eachother.Question No.19. Why does the woman say that the man has led a dangerous life?Question No.20. According to the man, when was his worst accident?Question No.21. What happened during the Mexican Grand Prix?Question No.22. What frightening experience did the man have quite recently?Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following interview.(Woman) Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of “Consumers’ Rights”. Today we’ve brought you out of the city center and into Mr. Nick Marshfield’s office whichoverlooks the Armlay International Airport. Mr. Nick Marshfield is the assistantmanager of the Atlantic Airlines. And he is going to tell us something about thechanges, if any, taking place in our airline companies. Nick?(Man) Hello. A few months ago four airline companies decided to create what you could call a third-class section by separating their discount passengers and giving themless service than the regular full-fare fliers.(Woman) I should think that would make things more complicated for the crew, with another group of passengers to take care of.(Man) Well, the plan turned out to be rather unpopular with some people anyway. One airline has completely dropped the idea after using it for about a month, saying“nobody liked it”. Another company doesn’t know whethe r it will go on with it ornot. Two other companies say they will continue the service only on their overseasflights. One thing about it—it’s competition.
