上海市英语中级口译资格证书第一阶段考试摸拟试题SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST (40 Minutes)Part A: Spot DictationDirection: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 corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOLET. Remember you will hear the passage only once.Earthquakes may 1.rightly be listed as one of the most destroying forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been 2.estimated that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond 3.calculation.The greater part of such damage and loss of life 4.is due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease and other phenomena5.resulting from earthquakes, rather than due to the quakes themselves.The 6.great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area includes the 7.Pacific Ocean and its neighboring areas. The other 8.extends from the East India to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey, and Alpine regions. It is in these two great zones that 9.ninety percent of all earthquakes take place. They 10.may happen anywhere at any time.11.In the recent years there have been 12.indications that earthquake prediction may be possible.13.By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of 14.movements in the earth’s crust and frequency with which minor earthquakes 15.are observed, scientists have shown increasing 16.success in anticipating when and where earthquakes will occur. As a result, a worldwide 17.earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for the 18.great destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.It is doubtful that man will ever 19.be able to control earthquakes, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to 20.deal with them.Part B: Listening Comprehension1. StatementsDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear several short statements.

Look at it.James: Incredible isn’t it?Guide: The statute was given to the United States by the people of France. It was designed by the French sculptor Bartholdi.Andrew: It’s really huge. Do we get to go inside?James: Of course. We can climb the stairs all the way up to the crown.Andrew: Stairs? There’s no elevator?James: Not to the top. But it's just 142 steps.Guide: Let me tell you a little more about the statue before you climb to the top. In case your are wondering what is the statue is made of, it has a framework inside that’smade of iron; the outer skin is made of copper. The copper skin is only 2.4millimeters thick. The supporting framework inside the statue is what holds thewhole thing together.The Statue of Liberty is a major tourist attraction, and every year about two millionpeople from all over the world come here to visit it.Questions 11-14Since when has the Statue of Liberty been in New Y ork Harbor?11. (A) 1886.(B) 1816.(C) 1866. (D) 1868Where was the designer of the Statue of Liberty From?12. (A) USA (B) New York(C) France(D) UKWhat is the Statue of Liberty made of?13.

(A) 2,000,000,000 (B) 2,000,000(C) 200,000 (D) 20,000Questions 15-18Today, college students in the United States use more than just books, paper, and pens to help them succeed in school. They now take advantage of some of the most recent advances in technology to help them successfully finish their education.Internet access is a good example. When students study late into the night, they can’t go to the library. Today’s students, however, can do research on the Internet, which gives them up-to-date information that a library can’t provide. Indeed, some universities are now offering classes through the Internet. This helps people who otherwise would not be able to go to classes. Electronic mail also provides students with an easier way to stay in touch with family and friends living far away.Pagers and portable phones are another example. Students today are busy with more than just getting an education. Many have jobs. Some already have families. Going to classes makes them feel cut off. A pager or portable phone, however, allows them to be easily contacted by others. This means they no longer feel stress. These communication tools also give students instant access to the outside world. Since more students are going to college who are not longer between the ages of 18 to 22, these tools are more commonly seen on campus. For these students, who are parents, grandparents, or businesspeople, such tools are necessity. College students of the more traditional age find them useful too. They feel safe knowing they can easily call for help when they are in trouble. There is no doubt that students in America will become more and more electronically connected in the future.Because of the recent advances in technology what can the American students do now?15.(A) Find information that is not in the library(B) Stop using books, paper and pens.(C) Study at the library more often than before(D) Now borrow books from the library over the internet.What is the advantage of university classes taught through the Internet?16.(A) Appeal to people who don't have computers.(B) Are useful for people who can’t go to classes.(C) Keep students in touch with their family(D) No longer require human teachers.What can make students today feel free from stress?17. (A) Pagers (B) Portable phone(C) Internet (D) Both A and BWhich of the following statements is true?18.(A) Students feel lonelier now as a result of using computers.(B) Pagers and portable phones offer students quick access to the Internet.(C) Most college classes are now taken through the Internet.(D) Students use electronic tools for both educational and other reason.Questions 19-22Black is the color of mourning. Red symbolizes danger, violence, or bloodshed. If you are afraid, you're yellow. None of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world. In China and Korea white is the color of mourning. In Russia red stands for beauty and life. In I taly and Germany you’re yellow with anger, not with fear.It is not necessary to leave our own language area to find color contradictions. A redcap in the United States is a porter in a station; In Britain a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical, because both men wear red caps. Likewise, the British equivalent of an American white-collar worker is sometimes called a black0coated worker.We needn’t even cross an ocean to have logical color distinctions. Would you rather be red-blooded or a blue-blooded? The first is literal, and so is the second if we trace is origin. The expression, which is now international, comes from Spain, where some noble Castilian families asserted they had sangre azul, meaning that they had no Moorish or Jewish blood. But why “blue” blood? Because the veins stand out when their possessor is fair-skinned.What does red symbolize in Russia?19. (A) Beauty and life(B) Danger(C) Violence(D) BloodshedWhich of the following color in Italy and Germany stands for anger?20.(A) Red(B) Black(C) Yellow(D) BrownWhere are the terms “red-blooded” and “ blueblood” from?21.(A) Britain(B) Italy and German(C) Spain(D) China and KoreaWhat is the main idea of the passage?22.(A) Meaning of “ blueblood” is not literal.(B) The meaning attached to certain colors.(C) Meanings of colors have long history.(D) Meanings of colors remain the same in the English-speaking world.Where is this conversation probably talking place?23. (A) In a car(B) At a wedding party(C) At a Christmas party(D) At homeWhat’s the time now?24.(A) 9:00(B) 9:25(C) 8:35(D) 8:25Why was the man unable to stop his car?25.(A) It was raining(B) The road was wet(C) I did n’t see the light.(D) All aboveWhat happened to the driver of the car I hit?26.(A) OK(B) Was sent to the hospital(C) Was badly damaged(D) Totally brokenQuestions 27-30Nonverbal communication has to do with gesture, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that these gestures, movements, and so forth have the meaning our words do not carry.For example, the physical distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South America ns are being “pushy” because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, whereas the South American often considers the North American to be “cold” or “distant” because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is spea king to. In the Middle East it is considered flirtatious for a woman to allow a man to look her in the eye. This “eye contact” provides another example of what we’re calling nonverbal communication. A social psychologist has observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is person whom you are speaking to looks at you eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in you rather than the amount of interest he has in the thing you are talking about.On the other hand, too long a gaze can be discomfiting. Most people become uncomfortable when they are stared at. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Frequently looking down can indicate humility, or embarrassment, or even boredom or dislike. Genuine warmth or interest can often be seen in the eyes. One scientist suggests that pleasant, satisfying experiences tend to make the pupils of the eyes grow larger. Sometimes when we feel that a person is being “warm” or “friendly” it is possible that we are reacting to a form of nonverbal communication ---- his opened pupils.We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Some one who is always smiling, and with little apparent reason, often makes us feel uneasy.Keep in mind what we’ve said about nonverbal communication, and the next time you’re at a party try to notice which persons seem to draw close together when speaking ---- which persons seem to try to stay further apart or even to avoid each other. You may find this silent language, wh ich we’ve called nonverbal communication, very interesting and even fascinating.Which of the following is NOT nonverbal communication?27. (A) Gestures(B) Body movements(C) Writings(D) Eye contactWhile talking, what do the South Americans tend to do?28.(A) Talk loudly(B) Be close to each other(C) Keep a certain distance between them(D) Push each otherFrequently looking down cannot indicate which of the following?29.(A) Satisfaction(B) Boredom(C) Submissiveness(D) EmbarrassmentWhich of the following often makes you uneasy?30.(A) Smiling(B) Looking you in the eye(C) Staring at you for long time(D) Does not use words to communicate with youPart C: Listening and Translation1. Sentence TranslationDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear 5 English sentences. You will hear the sentences only once. After you have heard each sentence, translate it into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.An expensive car speeding down the main street of a small town was soon overtaken by a young motorcycle policeman.(1) 一辆名车在一个小镇的马路上超速行驶,不久便被年青的巡警追上.Legendary actress Katherine Hepburn has died at the age of 96. Hepburn holds the record for winning the most Oscars for Best Actress.(2)具有传奇色彩的女演员凯瑟琳赫本去世了,赫本保持了赢得奥斯卡最佳女主角的记录China expressed the hope that the talks about nuclear weapons control should be held recently.(3) 中方表达了希望核武器控制的会谈在近期开始的愿望A quick-thinking 15-year-old boy used his cell phone camera to take pictures of a man who tried to kidnap him, leading to the man’s arrest, police said.(4) 警方称一个15岁机智男孩利用他的手机拍下了一个试图绑架他的人的照片,并使此人被捕.3G mobile phone---Third generation wireless technology. 3G offers cell phone users high speed mobile internet access.(5) 3G 手机,第三代无线技术,为手机用户提供高速的因特网接入技术服务.II. Passage TranslationDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages. You will hear the passages only once. After you have heard each passage, translate it into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. You may take notes while you are listening. Passage 1Investing money in the stock market is not the safest way in the world to make more money. There is no guarantee that the company you invest in will do well and that the stock will go up. The company may do badly. Then the stock will go down and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of very complex reasons. Everyone wants the stock market to go up, but some times even when a company does well the stock may go down. This is usually true for all stocks.为了赚得更多的钱而将钱投入股市是不安全的.因为不能保证你投资的公司业绩因为不错,而其的股票就会涨.公司的业绩差,其股票就会跌,你就输钱.股票的涨跌是有着这样那样的原因的.每个人都想自己的股票涨.有时甚至连业绩较好公司的股票也会跌.通常所有股票都是这样.Passage 2Nowadays people travel, not from necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things. Traveling, of course, has now become a highly organize business. There are cars and splendid roads, express trains, huge ships and jet airliners, all of which provide us with comforts and security. Scientists have also invented machines that can explore outer space. Eventually there will be cheap day excursions to the moon and honeymoon on Venus. People will be able to travel from one planet to another by a space shuttle.如今,人们出行并不是一种需求,而是一种体验一种享受新事物的目的.现在旅行也成为一个高度组织性的行业.汽车,一流的道路,特快,大型游船,喷气式飞机,所有的一切为我们提供了舒适安全的旅行.科学家们还发明了能将我们带到外太空的机器.最终我们可以到月球作便宜的旅行或到金星渡蜜月.乘坐航天飞机人们可以从一个星球至另一个星球旅行.。

2019年翻译资格口译中级考试模拟试题（1）The purpose of the American court system is to protect the rights of the people. According to American law，if someone is accused of a crime，he or she is considered innocent until the court proves that the person is guilty. In other words，it is the responsibility of the court to prove that a person is guilty. It is not the responsibility of the person to prove that he or she is innocent.In order to arrest a person，the police have to be reasonably sure that a crime has been committed. The police must give the suspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law. Then the police take the suspect to the police station to book him. Booking means that the name of the person and the charges against him are formally listed at the police station.The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The judge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released. If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to court rather than run awayfor example，because he owns a house and has a familyhe can go free. Otherwise，the suspect must put up bail. At this time，too，the judge will appoint a court layer to defend the suspect if he cant afford one.The suspect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer from the district attorneys office presents a case against the suspect. Thisis called a hearing. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The judge at the hearing then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. If the judge decides that there is sufficient evidence to call for a trial，he or she sets a date for the suspect to appear in court to formally plead guilty or not guilty.At the trial，a jury of 12 people listens to the evidence from both attorneys and hears the testimony of the witnesses. Then the jury goes into a private room to consider the evidence and decide whether the defendant is guilty of the crime. If the jury decides that the defendant is innocent，he goes free. However，if he is convicted，the judge sets a date for the defendant to appear in court again for sentencing. At this time，the judge tells the convicted person what his punishment will be. The judge may sentence him to prison，order him to pay a fine，or place him on probation.The American justice system is very complex and sometimes operates slowly. However，every step is designed to protect the rights of the people. These individual rights are the basis，or foundation，of the American government.1. What is the main idea of the passage?(A) The American court system requires that a suspect prove that he or she is innocent.(B) The US court system is designed to protect the rights of thepeople.(C) Under the American court system，judge decides if a suspect is innocent or guilty.(D) The US court system is designed to help the police present a case against the suspect.2. What follows in other words (para.1)?(A) An example of the previous sentence.(B) A new idea about the court system.(C) An item of evidence to call for a trial.(D) A restatement of the previous sentence.3. According to the passage，he can go free (para.3) means _________.(A) the suspect is free to choose a lawyer to defend him(B) the suspect does not have to go to trial because the judge has decided he is innocent(C) the suspect will be informed by mail whether he is innocent or not(D) the suspect does not have to wait in jail or pay money until he goes to trial4. What is the purpose of having the suspect pay bail?(A) To pay for the judge and the trial.(B) To pay for a court lawyer to defend the suspect.(C) To ensure that the suspect will return to court.(D) To ensure that the suspect will appear in prison.5. According to the passage，which of the following statements is true?(A) The American justice system sometimes operates slowly.(B) The police can arrest a suspect without giving any reasons.(C) It is the responsibility of the suspect to prove he is innocent.(D) The jury considers the evidence in the court room.参考答案：1-5 B D D C A。

翻译资格考试中级口译考试模拟题(1)
翻译资格考试中级口译考试模拟题（1）We are all intimately familiar with at least one language, yet few of us ev er stop to consider what we know about it. The words of a language can be liste d in a dictionary, but not all the sentences.Speakers use a finite set of rules to produce and understand an infinite se t of sentences. These rules comprise the grammar of a language. It includes the sound system and the way in which sounds and meanings are related.This linguistic knowledge is, however, different from linguistic behavior. If you woke up one morning and decided to stop talking, you would still have th e knowledge of your language.Language is a tool of communication. But if language is defined merely as a system of communication, then language is not unique to humans. A basic proper ty of human language is its creative aspect.参考答案虽然我们人人至少通晓一门语言，但很少有人会静心思考一下对语言了解什么。

The instruments with which we meet them may be new.

They have been the quiet force of progress throughout our history. What is demandedthen is a return to these truths.57、Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Everything else is secondary.SECTION 2: STUDA SKILLSLike many people, I've always seen the Olympics as the "main" sporting event held every four years—the headline act—and theParalyrnpics as something of an "add-on"—the supporting act.It you are not disabled yourself it is hard to understand some of the games and the athletes mobility problems.But being in the host city for these Paralympics changed my perspective.I came to realize these athletes were nothing short of superheroes. Deprived of physical abilities that able-bodied people take for granted, they made up for them and then some. They tested their senses and the boundaries of physical ability to extremes that the Bolts and Phelpsesof this world would never have to.If some Olympic runners had to undergo a double-amputation, I wonder if they would strap two carbon fiber blades to their knees like Oscar Pistorius, also known as Blade Runner, of South Africa, and relearn everything that once came naturally.If some Olympic swimming heroes suddenly went blind, would they havethe courage to still surge through the water like Donovan Tildesley, not knowing when they would reach the end of the pool? Would any of us have the guts to turn around a life-changing experience like a car crash or bad rugby scrum. And not only get our lives back on track but thenstrive to be the best at a sport?"What Paralympic sport would you do if you were disabled?"was a water-cooler question I posed today. It's not something you would normally think about. You don't watch TV as a kid aspiring to be a Paralympian. But it takes more than early mornings, training programsand special diets to get to the Paralympics. It takes a tragedy or loss that will have been grieved over, worked through and overcome.Skiing is terrifying enough if you have all your faculties. Standing at the top of a ski slope, it's a battle of wills for most people to launch themselves, but Canada's Donovan Tildesley, who has been blind frombirth, revealed to a China Daily reporter that not only did he already ski, but he also wanted to take it up competitively.Superheroes indeed, each and every one. The Paralympics should be renamed the "Superlympics". It's nothing to do with the equality denoted by the Greek "para", it's about"super" ability, courage and strength that most of us, the top able-bodied athletes of the world included, will never have to muster.It's worth remembering that many Paralympians suffered horrificinjuries while living life to the full. You don't get paralyzed sitting at home playing video games. And having lived life to the full they are not prepared to stop. That's the lesser talked about "Paralympic spirit".I only hope that if life dealt me or my loved ones similar blows we would tackle them in the same way as these outstanding men and women.58、 What does the author think of Paralympic athletes?A. They are more than heroes.B. They are unsung heroes.C. They are second only to superheroes.D. They are able-bodied superheroes.59、 By saying "... and then some" (para. 2), the author means that ______.A. Paralympic athletes made up for some physical abilitiesB. not all Paralympic athletes were able to make up for physicalabilitiesC. there are some abilities that disabled athletes cannot make up forD. there are some other abilities besides what has been made up for60、 What does the author imply in Paragraphs 3 and 4?A. Some Olympic stars will turn into Paralympic competitors whendisable&B. Olympic stars' career will come to a natural end when they are disabled.C. It takes more guts to be Paralympic athletes than Olympic athletes.D. It is anybody's guess whether Olympic stars will strive to be the best at sports.61、 The word "faculties" (para. 6) is closest in meaning toA. facilitiesB. abilitiesC. handicapsD. adversities62、 According to the author, what should be learned from Paralympic athletes?A. Rising above their physical disabilities.B. Coming to terms with what they suffer.C. Playing video games to live life to the full.D. Working their way through sporting competitions.Recent years have brought minority-owned businesses in the UnitedStates unprecedented opportunities as well as new and significant risks. Civil rights activists have long argued that one of the principal reasons why Blacks, Hispanics, and other minority groups have difficulty establishing themselves in business is that they lack access to the sizable orders and subcontracts that are generated by large companies. Now Congress, in apparent agreement, has required by law that businesses awarded federal contracts of more than $ 500, 000 do their best to find minority subcontractors and record their efforts to do so on forms filed with the government. Indeed, (some federal and local agencies) have gone so far as to set specific percentage goals for apportioning part of public works contracts to minority enterprises.Corporate response appears to have been substantial. (According to figures collected in 1977, the total of corporate contracts withminority businesses rose from $ 77 million in 1972 to $1.1 billion in1977. ) The projected total of corporate contracts with minority businesses for the early 1980s is estimated to be over $ 3 billion per year with no letup anticipated in the next decade.Promising as it is for minority businesses, this increased patronage poses dangers for them, too. First, minority firms risk expanding too fast and overextending themselves financially, since most are small concerns and, unlike large businesses, they often need to make substantial investments in new plants, staff, equipment, and the like in order to perform work subcontracted to them. If, thereafter, their subcontracts are for some reason reduced, such firms can facepotentially crippling fixed expenses. The world of corporate purchasing can be frustrating for small entrepreneurs who get requests forelaborate formal estimates and bids. Both consume valuable time and resources, and a small company's efforts must soon result in orders, or both the morale and the financial health of the business will suffer.A second risk is that White-owned companies may seek to cash in on the increasing apportionments through formation of joint ventures with minority-owned concerns. Of course, in many instances there are legitimate reasons for joint ventures; clearly, White and minority enterprises can team up to acquire business that neither could acquire alone. But civil rights groups and minority business owners have complained to Congress about minorities being set up as"fronts" with White backing, rather than being accepted asfull partners in legitimate joint ventures.Third, a minority enterprise that secures the business of one large corporate customer often run the danger of becoming and remaining dependent. Even in the best of circumstances, fierce competition from larger, more established companies makes it difficult for small concerns to broaden their customer bases: when such firms have nearly guaranteed orders from a single corporate benefactor, they may truly have to struggle against complacency arising from their current success.63、 The primary purpose of the passage is to ______.A. present a commonplace idea and its inaccuraciesB. describe a situation and its potential drawbacksC. propose a temporary solution to a problemD. analyze a frequent source of disagreement64、 The passage supplies information that would answer which of the following questions? ______A. Why federal agencies have set percentage goals for the use of minority-owned businesses in public works contracts?B. To which government agencies must businesses awarded federal contracts report their efforts to find minority subcontractors?C. How widespread is the use of minority-owned concerns as"fronts" by White backers seeking to obtain subcontracts?D. What is one set of conditions under which a small business mightfind itself financially overextended?65、 According to the passage, civil rights activist maintain that one disadvantage under which minority-owned businesses have traditionally had to labor is that they have ______.A. not had sufficient opportunity to secure business created by large corporationsB. been especially vulnerable to government mismanagement of the economyC. been denied bank loans at rates comparable to those afforded larger competitorsD. not been able to advertise in those media that reach large numbersof potential customers66、 The author implies that a minority-owned concern that does the greater part of its business with one large corporate customer should______.A. avoid competition with larger, more established concerns by not expandingB. concentrate on securing even more business from that corporationC. try to expand its customer base to avoid becoming dependent on the corporationD. use its influence with the corporation to promote subcontractingwith other minority concerns67、 The author would most likely agree with which of the following statements about corporate response to working with minority subcontractors? ______A. Annoyed by the proliferation of "front" organizations, corporations are likely to reduce their efforts to work with minority-owned subcontractors in the near future.B. Although corporations showed considerable interest in working with minority businesses in the 1970's, their aversion to government paperwork made them reluctant to pursue many government contracts.C. The significant response of corporations in the t970's is likely to be sustained and conceivably be increased throughout the 1980's.D. Although corporations are eager to cooperate with minority-owned businesses, a shortage of capital in the 1970's made substantial response impossible.It looks unlikely that medical science will abolish the process of ageing. But it no longer looks impossible."In the long run," as John Maynard Keynes observed, "we are all dead." True. But can the short run be elongated in a way that makes the long run longer? And if so, how, and at what cost? People have dreamt of immorality since ancient times. Now, with the growth of biological knowledge that has marked the past few decades, a few researchers believe it might be within reach.To think about the question, it is important to understand why organisms — people included —age in the first place. People are like machines, they wear out. That much is obvious. However, a machine can always be repaired. A good mechanic with a stock of spare parts can keep it going indefinitely. Eventually, no part of the original may remain, but it still carries on, like Lincoln's famous axe that had three new handles and two new blades.The question, of course, is whether the machine is worth repairing. It is here that people and nature disagree. Or, to put it slightly differently, two bits of nature disagree with each other. From the individual's point of view, survival is an imperative. A fear of deathis a sensible evolved response and, since ageing is a sure way of dying, it is no surprise that people want to stop it in its tracks. Moreover, even the appearance of ageing can be harmful. It reduces the range of potential sexual partners who find you attractive and thus, again, curbs your reproduction.The paradox is that the individual's evolved desire not to age is opposed by another evolutionary force, the disposable soma. The soma is all of a body's cells apart from the sex cells. The soma's role is to get those sex cells, and thus the organism's genes, into the next generation. If the soma is a chicken, then it really is just an egg'sway of making another egg. And if evolutionary logic requires the somato age and die in order for this to happen, so be it. Which is a pity,for evolutionary logic does, indeed, seem to require that.The argument is this. All organisms are going to die of something eventually. That something may be an accident, a fight, a disease or an encounter with a hungry predator. There is thus a premium on reproducing early rather than conserving resources for a future that may never come. The reason why repairs are not perfect is that they are costly and resources invested in them might be used for reproduction instead. Often, therefore, the body's mechanics prefer lash-ups to complete rebuilds —or simply do not bother with the job at all. And if that is so, theplace to start looking for longer life is in the repair shop.68、 The word "elongated"(Para. 2) is closest in meaning to______ .A. perpetuatedB. promotedC. stretchedD. enhanced69、 Why does the author mention Lincoln's axe?A. To tell people that a simple tool can be repaired thoroughly.B. To make people realize that immortality is not possible.C. To illustrate the fact that the prospect of growing old is intolerable.D. To suggest an anti-ageing approach that will reproduce itself.70、 What do we know from the passage about people and nature?A. People and nature exist in harmony and hardly disagree.B. The evolutionary force in nature helps delay the ageing process.C. People seem now in a position to harness nature.D. Death is the reality in nature people should come to terms with.71、 For whom does the author probably write this passage?A. General readers.B. Health service workers.C. Medical scientists.D. Elderly people.72、 It is implied in the passage that ______ .A. people put a premium on youth and physical appearanceB. death is treated as a matter of courseC. evolutionary force makes immortality possibleD. reproduction is a useful alternative to longer lifeIn the information technology industry, it is widely acknowledged that how well IT departments of the future can fulfil their business goalswill depend not on the regular updating of technology, which isessential for them to do, but on how well they can hold on to the people skilled at manipulating the newest technology. This is becoming more difficult. Best estimates of the current shortfall in IT staff in the UK are between 30,000 and 50,000, and growing.And there is no end to the problem in sight. A severe industry-widelack of investment in training means the long-term skills base is both ageing and shrinking. Employers are chasing experienced staff in ever-decreasing circles, and according to a recent government report, 250,000 new IT jobs will be created over the next decade.Most employers are confining themselves to dealing with the immediate problems. There is little evidence, for example, that they are stepping up their intake of raw recruits for in-house training, or re-training existing staff from other functions. This is the course of action recommended by the Computer Software Services Association, but research shows its members are adopting the short-term measure of bringing inmore and more consultants on a contract basis. However, this approach is becoming less and less acceptable as the general shortage of skills,coupled with high demand, sends contractor rates soaring. An experienced contract programmer, for example, can now earn at least double the current permanent salary.With IT professionals increasingly attracted to the financial rewards and flexibility of consultancy work, average staff turnover rates are estimated to be around 15%. While many companies in the financial services sector are managing to contain their losses by offering skilled IT staff 'golden handcuffs'—deferred loyalty bonuses that tie them in until a certain date—other organisations, like local governments, are unable to match the competitive salaries and perks on offer in theprivate sector and contractor market, and are suffering turnover ratesof up to 60% a year.Many industry experts advise employers to link bonuses to performance wherever possible. However, employers are realising that bonuses will only succeed if they are accompanied by other incentives such as attractive career prospects, training, and challenging work that meets the individual' s long-term ambition.This means managers need to allocate assignments more strategically and think about advancing their staff as well as their business. Some employers advocate giving key employees projects that would normally be handled by people with slightly more experience or capability. For many employers, however, the urgency of the problem demands a more immediate solution, such as recruiting skilled workers from overseas. But eventhis is not easy, with strict quotas on the number of work permits issued. In addition, opposition to the recruitment of IT people from other countries is growing, as many professionals believe it will leadto even less investment in training and thus a long-term weakening ofthe UK skills base.73、 According to the first paragraph, the success of IT departments will depend on ______.A. their success in retaining their skilled staffB. the extent to which they invest in new technologyC. their attempts to recruit staff with the necessary skillsD. the ability of employers to keep up with the latest developments74、 A problem referred to in the second paragraph is that ______.A. the government needs to create thousands of new IT postsB. the pool of skilled IT people will get even smaller in the futureC. company budgets for IT training have been decreasing steadilyD. older IT professionals have not had adequate training75、 What possible solution to the long-term problems in the IT industry is referred to in the third paragraph?A. Ensuring that permanent staff earn the same as contract staff.B. Expanding company training programmes for employees.C. Conducting more research into the causes of staff leaving.D. Offering top rates to attract the best specialist consultants.76、 In the financial services sector, the IT staffing problem has led to ______.A. cash or other benefits for skilled staff after a specified period of timeB. more employees seeking alternative employment in the public sectorC. the loss of customers to rival organisationsD. more flexible conditions of work for their staff77、 According to the final paragraph, the UK skill base will be weakened by ______.A. changes to managers' strategic thinkingB. insufficient responsibility being given to IT staffC. the employment of IT staff with too little experienceD. the hiring of IT personnel from abroadThe world seems to be going diet crazy, and yet our nation's obesity rate has shot up year after year. And, it's not only the over 20 population that has to worry about their weight anymore. Children from kindergarten to twelfth grade are also experiencing the problems of an overweight lifestyle.According to the website , 11% of adolescents are categorized as being over-weight, and another 16% are in danger of becoming overweight. This is a 60% jump from the 1980's.Some of the blame is being put on schools wanting to fit more academic classes into the children's schedule rather than waste time on physical education. This new take on education has left us with physical activity at an all-time national low, resulting in obesity and poor physical conditioning at an all-time national high. The schools have tried a few solutions; the most recent in the news has been taking soda out of schools and increasing the required time children must be active during school.Will those methods help at all? Education is important at school, but starts at home. I believe students are getting their bad habits from watching their parents and how they eat and exercise. The school system only helps to hinder the child's dietary eating. I know there arestudies showing genes that determine how a child will be built. That does not explain however, why the rate continues to increase at such a rapid rate each year. It seems more likely that more and more families have both parents working, leaving their children to their own means for a meal."Nintendo, TV, Playstation and the like," are what Physical Education teacher, Sue Arostegui, attributes the inactiveness to."Parents are either gone or too scared with today's society to let them out and play."Classes on health need to become more regular and sports need to be encouraged. At Live Oak High School the staff does a good job of teaching how to eat and exercise to stay healthy. The freshmen study health every Wednesday in RE., and Para James teaches healthy eating and food preparation in Home Economics for the first few weeks of every school year."Kids have no idea how many calories they are eating," said James of the overweight problems facing students. "Fast food is becoming more popular, it's easier and parents are busy. They are only setting their kids up to gain weight with that diet however."School cafeterias are also getting blamed for the students' eating habits. "Healthy eating should start at home," said L.O.H.S. cafeteria cool Brenda Myers. "Too many kids are being raised onfast food. After eating so much fast food they don't have any tastes for real home cooked food. I always have healthy foods for students, but they are less likely to eat them."Other schools do not even have the type of programs Live Oak offers and are suffering even worse consequences. Sports keep students fit and healthy. There need to be more readily available sports programs for anyone who would like to join. Many students when they feel they do not meet the standards for a team will admit defeat and drop off the team: There needs to be a program that all students will be interested in and continue through for the entire season.。

Though the government has spent a large sum of money on housing, the investment has produced little financial return and a housing shortage will persists. Two generations sharing one room and newly-married couples finding it difficult to have a house of their own are still common cases. Housing shortage is a problem that requires an immediate solution.People's attitudes towards the solution to the housing problem are different. Some suggest building more high-rise apartments; others believe to develop underground housing areas. I am in favor of the former opinion. For one thing, it is cheaper to build above ground than below. For another, living underground for a long time will do harm to people's health. Above all, people are unwilling to live underground with artificial lighting and they prefer to live above ground to enjoy the sunshine.Although there may be some other ways to solve the housing shortage problem, I believe to build more high-rise apartments is one of the feasible solutions to the housing problem.口译题Part APassage 1各位同仁，女士们，先生们，早上好！首先，我向所有参加第七届NARIC年会的人士表示热烈欢迎。

And as a member of the advisory council of the National Endowment for the Arts during the administration of George H. W. Bush, he referred to those hethought were interfering with arts grants as “bullies and art bashers”.He will succeed Ted Kooser, the Nebraskan who has been the poet laureate since 2004.The announcement of Mr. Hall’s appointment is to be made by James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress. Mr. Billington said that he chose Mr. Hall because of “the sustained quality of his poetry, the reach and the variety of things he talks about.” Like Mr. Kooser, Mr. Billington said, Mr. Hall “evokes a sense of place.”Mr. Hall, 77, lives in a white clapboard farmhouse in Wilmot, N. H. , that has been in his family for generations, He said in a telephone interview that he didn’t see the poet laureateship as a bully pulpit. “But it’s a pulpit anyway,” he said. “If I see First Amendment violations, I will speak up.”Mr. Hall is an extremely productive writer who has published about 18 books of poetry, 20 boo ks of prose and 12 children’s books. He has won many awards, including a national Book Critics Circle Award in 1989 for “The One Day.”a collection.In recent years much of his poetry has been preoccupied with the death of his wife, the poet Jane Kenyon, in 1995.Robert Pinsky, who was poet laureate from 1997 to 2000 said he welcomed Mr. Hall’s appointment, especially in light of his previous outspokenness about politics and arts. “There is something nicely symbolic, and maybe surprising,” Mr. Pinsky said, “that they have selected someone who has taken a stand for freedom.”The position carries an award of $35,000 and $5,000 travelallowance. It usually lasts a year, though poets are sometimes reappointed.1. Donald Hall _____.A. uses simple English to express the images of the New England landscapeB. dislikes the idea of impacting government by the right side of the religionC. is the 14th poet laureate appointed by the CongressD. is a member of the advisory council of the National Endowment for the Arts2.

上半年catti中级口译模拟试题一.doc
2019年上半年catti中级口译模拟试题一英译中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.儿童学习语言和文化，无须专门编制的教学计划，但他们的学习积极性很高，因为他们获得想要的东西，语言及是最有效的手段。
