Fish-eaters could stay in one place for several years. However, once man lear ned to farm, he could live Ion ger in one place. Thus, he was able to build a permanent home. Once again, he built his home with the materials he found at hand. In Egypt, for example, wood was scarce, so most houses were built of bricks made of dried mud, with a roof supported by tree trun ks.When the Norseme n came from Scandin avia to n orther n Europe, they found many forests, so they built homes with a framework of heavy tree trunks and then filled the space between the trunks with clay. The Eskimos, on the other han d, lived in a land where there was little or no wood. They learned to adapt their homes perfectly to theirsurroundings. In the wintertime, when everything was covered with snow and ice, the Eskimos built their homes with blocks of ice. When the warm weather came and melted the ice, the Eskimos lived in a tent made of animal ski ns.The weather is man ' s worst natural enemy. He has to protect himself from extremes of heat and cold and from storms, wind and rain. Where there are torre ntial rains, houses are either built on piles to keep them off the ground, or they have steep thatched roofs to drain off the rain. People living in the Congo River region have found that steep, heavily-thatched roofs drain off the jungle rains more quickly.Protect ion from dan ger has also in flue need the type of house man builds. When en emies threate ned him, man made his house as in accessible as possible. The tree-dwellers of the Philipp ines protect themselves by livi ng high above the ground. Whe n dan ger threate ns, they remove the ladders leading to their homes. The cliff dwellers of the American Southwest built their homes high up on the sides of cliffs, where access was very difficult.Nomad tribes must move from place to place, tak ing care of flocks of sheep that are always in n eed of fresh grass. Their houses must be simple and easy to tran sport. The no mads of cen tral Asia have developed a house made of a framework of poles covered with felt. The house is round because the framework is curved, and there is a hole at the top to let the smoke out.1. Accord ing to the passage, the Norseme n who came to n orther n Europe built their houseswith _________ .(A) rocks and wood(B) wood and clay(C) woode n roofs and stone walls(D) woode n walls and thatched roofs2. Man ' s mosu rgent n eed in buildi ng a house is protect ion from ______ .(A) en emies(B) floods(C) earthquakes(D) the weather3. The passage suggests that a house with a steep sloping roof is more likely to befound _________ .(A) in a wi ndy country(B) in a rainy country(C) n ear the coast(D) in the desert4. Whe n dan ger threate ns, the tree-dwellers of the Philipp ines ______ .(A) take away their ladders(B) bombard the en emy from above(C) pull up the bridge over their moat(D) wind up the ropes leadi ng to their homes5. Accord ing to the passage, the no mad tribes of cen tral Asia live in _______ .(A) ten ts(B) tree houses(C) small houses of clay(D) round houses of felt【参考答案】1.B 2.D 3.B 4.A 5.DQuestions 6—10Emma Way did not become a figure of con tempt for British cyclists because she nu dged Toby Hockley off his bicycle and into a hedge as she drove past him on a country lane on May 19. No, she achieved that in famy by con fess ing to her crime on li ne. cked “(DEf i sttef knohis bike earlier, ” Way, 22, tweeted after the collisi on that left Hockley, 29, with a bruised bodyand the status of a martyr for Britain ' s cyclists. " Ihavteeiglnt of wayen pay ro—tax! ” She ended with a hashtag popuwrth tweeting British motorists: #bloodycyclists.It was the tweet heard around the roads of Britain and it resulted in Way ' s being convicted in November of drivi ng offen ses, los ing her job as a trainee acco untant and ack no wledg ing in court that the comme nt rated "11 out of 10 ” on the stupidity scale. In an in terview on n ati onal televisi on after her conviction, she no ted that since the story broke, she had bee n cyberbullied and had received "malicious com muni cati ons. ” What she did not say was thaorhefwialsnock ingHockley, a chef, off his bike. " I was quite angry at the mannerism of the cyclist on the roadsaid. " My point of view is that he was on my side of the road that ' s not the wa—you drive. ”Way to stoke the fire, Ms. Way. By continuing to pin the blame for the incident on the cyclist, the young driver fell further into an already con siderable chasm that divides moder n Brita in. The BBC last year featured an hourl ong docume ntary —with lots of footage of ragi ng cyclists and cab drivers ——whose title explained the situation succinctly: War on Britain ' s Roads.It wasn' tentirely an exaggeration: people are dying in this conflict between cyclists and drivers. London in November seemed like a particularly dangerous place for the two-wheeled combatants. Six cyclists were killed in less than two weeks, a mounting toll chronicled in increasingly mournful headlines. Six in a few days is a lot; the total killed this year in Britain capital is 14. The deaths sparked a bout of public recrim in atio n. When London ' Mayor Boris Johnson, himself a cyclist, appeared less than sympathetic after the fifth death — he told a radio host that some of the dead cyclists " have take n decisi ons that really did put their lives in dan ger —he was tran sformed from cycli ng champi on to heartless pro-car politicia n and joined Way as a target of the particularly passi on ate fury that cyclists can muster.s bicyclistsThe an ger has become political in Brita in, as it has in many coun tries whose gover nmentsencourage citizens to cycle rather than drive to work, to lessen the impact on the environment and on traffic. Johnson has arguably done more than any previous politician for London cyclists, establishing a $1.6 billion fund to makecycling safer in the city and appointing London ' first cycli ng commissi oner. Even though the nu mber of cyclist deaths in London has bee n dropp ing steadily in the past two decades, the dema nd from cyclists for the city to adapt grows as the nu mber of bikes on the road grows. As does the particularly passi on ate fury that cyclists can muster.Whether or not Johnson is right that some of the cyclists who died recently were breaking the law, all of us makea very personal decision about risking our lives by getting on our bikes. And we should know that when we ignore red lights to get ahead of the traffic, or get too close to trucks or buses because we feel it 'our right to be there, then we are making a mistake even dumber than Emma Way 'tweet. In the war of the cyclist vs. the driver, the driver will nearly always come out alive. Less so the cyclist.6. According to the passage, who had been cyberbullied and had received malicious com muni cati ons?(A) Toby Hockley.(B) Boris Joh nson.(C) Emma Way.(D) A cycli ng commissi oner.7. Which of the following statements is NOT true in the conflict between cyclists and drivers?(A) London seemed like a particularly dan gerous place for the cyclists.(B) 14 cyclists were killed in less than two weeks in London.(C) The deaths of cyclists sparked a bout of public recrim in ati on.(D) People are dying in this conflict between cyclists and drivers.8. London ' s Mayor has established a $1.6 billion fund ________ .(A) to en courage citize ns to cycle to work(B) to build more bike lanes in London(C) to lessen the impact on the environment(D) to make cycli ng safer in London9. Accord ing to the passage, a rash of accide nts in volvi ng cars has made London (A) outraged(B) alarmed(C) cautious(D) cyberbullied10. What would be the best title for this passage?(A) Cycle rather than Drive to Work(B) Watch your Cycli ng Manners(C) Pedal at Your Own Peril(D) Lesse n the Impact on Traffic【参考答案】6.C 7.B 8.D 9.A 10.CQuestions 11—15Educators have known for 30 years that students perform better when given one-on-one tutoring and mastery learning — working on a subject until it is mastered, not just until a test is scheduled. Success also requires motivatio n, whether from an inner drive or from pare nts, men tors or peers.Will the rise of massive ope n on li ne courses (MOOCs) quash these success factors? Not at all. In fact, digital tools offer our best path to cost-effective, pers on alized lear nin g. I know because I have taught both ways. For years Sebastian Thrun and I have given artificial-intelligence courses at Sta nford Uni versity and other schools; we lectured, assig ned homework and gave every one the same exam at the same time. Each semester just 5 to 10 perce nt of stude nts regularly en gaged in deep discussi ons in class or office hours; the rest were more passive. We felt there had to be a better way.So, in the fall of 2011, we tried something new. In addition to our traditional classroom, we created a free online course open to anyone. On our first try, we attracted a city 'worth of participa nts —about 100,000 en gaged with the course, and 23,000 fini shed.In spired by Nobel laureate Herbert Simon' scomme nt that “ learnin gresults from what the student does and thinks and only from what the student does and thinks, we created a course centered on the students doing things and getting frequent feedback. Our a lectures were short (two- to six-minute) videos designed to prime the attendees for doing the next exercise. Some problems required the applicati on of mathematical tech niq ues described in the videos. Others were ope n-en ded questio ns that gave stude nts a cha nce to thi nk on their own and the n to hash out ideas in on li ne discussi on forums.Our scheme to help make learning happen actively, rather than passively, created many ben efits akin to tutori ng — and helped to in crease motivatio n. First, as show n in a 2013 study in the Proceedi ngs of the Nati onal Academy of Scie nces USA, freque nt in teract ions keep atte ntio n from wandering. Second, as William B. Wood and Kimberly D. Tanner describe in a 2012 Life Scien ces Educati on paper, lear ning is enhan ced whe n stude nts work to con struct their own explanations, rather than passively listening to the teacher ' That is why a properly designed automated in tellige nt tutori ng system can foster lear ning outcomes as well as huma n in structors can, as Kurt van Leh n found in a 2011 meta-a nalysis in Educati onal Psychologist.A final key advantage was the rapid improvement of the course itself. We analyzed the jun ctures where our thousa nds of stude nts succeeded or failed and found where our course n eeded fine-tuning. Better still, we could capture this information on an hour-by-hour basis. For our class, huma n teachers an alyzed the data, but an artificial-in tellige nce system could perform this fun ctio n and the n make recomme ndatio ns for what a pupil could try next to improve —as on li ne shopp ing 精品文档sites today make automated recomme ndati ons for what book or movie you might enjoy. On li ne learning is a tool, just as the textbook is a tool. The way the teacher and the stude nt use the tool is what really coun ts.11. What does the passage mainly discuss?(A) Different sources of motivation for students ' success.(B) Effective one-on-one tutori ng and mastery lear ning.(C) Person alized massive ope n on li ne courses for stude nts.(D) Con siderable improveme nt of the college courses.12. The word “quash” ( para. 2) is closest in meaning to _____ .(A) inten sify(B) in spire(C) cancel(D) disco unt13. When the author and his colleague offered their first on li ne course ____ .(A) it attracted about 100,000 city reside nts to study(B) it created a climate of passivity for in troverted stude nts(C) it was desig ned for both stude nts and work ing adults(D) it was atte nded by a great nu mber of stude nts14. The “lectures ” in the MOOCs are meant for the students to _______ .(A) do and think actively on their own(B) make up for what they miss in classrooms(C) get freque nt feedback from men tors and peers(D) focus on what they n eed most15. One way on li ne courses are similar to on li ne shopp ing sites is that __ .(A) they make recomme ndati ons for what users do n ext(B) they function automatically for thousa nds of young stude nts(C) they are a boon to computer-savvy stude nts and shoppers(D) they update their contents on an hour-by-hour basis【参考答案】11.C 12.C 13.D 14.A 15.AQuestions 16— 20Most people have see n bullies in acti on, mak ing life miserable for others. Their targets ofte n escape the intimidation relatively unharmed, but sometimes it is too much to bear. That can be true whether the victim is a 12-year-old girl or a 136-kilogram American football player.A member of the Miami Dolph ins left the Nati onal Football League team recen tly because hewas repeatedly in sulted and threate ned by a teammate, Richie In cog nito. Many fans were disgusted by details of In cog nito's expletive-filled voice mail and text messages, while others defe nded his behavior as a n atural part of a rough-a nd-tumble sport.Some people are ast oni shed that Jon atha n Martin, who is 1.95 meters tall, “ could actually be the colu mnist Timothy Egan wrote recen tly in emoti on ally damaged by taunts from a teammate,The Times. “ Can you possibly hurt a hulk with words? ” Based on his own experie nee play ing football in high school, Mr. Egan argues that you can. He was smaller than the other guys and had a big, unruly head of hair that made him stand out. His teammates taunted him. “ Did it hurt?did, ” he wrote. "I knew very well what it felt like to give so much to a game and have people who were part of it, his teammates, hurt him. ”Bullies aren' all men. The Times reported recently that scientists had made big strides in understanding aggression by young women. “Theexistenee of female competition may seem obvious to anyone who has bee n in a high school cafeteria or sin gles bar, ” Joh n Tierney wro' “ but an alyz ing it has bee n difficult because it tends to be more subtle and in direct (a nd a lot lessviole n t) tha n the male variety. ”Researchers found that women were more likely to make mean comments about otherwomen if they saw them as competition for male attention. In an experiment, a group of female college students reacted negatively when a woman wearing a low-cut blouse and a short skirt entered the room, while they barely noticed the same woman dressed in a T-shirt and jeans.?But in perhaps one differe nee betwee n the sexes, in stead of confron ti ng the woma n directly, the others made fun of her once s he left the room.? ” Wome n are in deed very capable of aggress ing aga inst others, especially wome n they perceive as rivals, ” said Dr. Tracy Vailla ncourt, a psychologist atthe Uni versity of Ottawa.For those on the receivi ng end who are young or otherwise vuln erable, the damage can betragic. In September, a 12-year-old girl in Florida named Rebecca Ann Sedwick killed herself after other girls bullied her online. She went to an abandoned cement plant, climbed to a platform and jumped.“ Rebecca became oneof the youn gest members of a grow ing list of childre n and tee nagers apparently driven to suicide, at least in part, after being maligned, threatened and taunted online, The Times reported. And teenagers aren ' t just using Facebook or InstagranotiepiQbtoier.New applications appear constantly, making it difficult for parents to keep tabs on their children activity. Rebecca ' s mother, Tricia Norman, didn ' t know her daughter was receiving messages that said: “You' re ugly ” and “Can u die please? ”“You hear about this all the time, ” Ms. Norman said of cyberbullying. “ I never, ever thoughtit would happe n to me or my daughter. ”16. How did Jon atha n Martin react whe n taun ted and in sulted by his teammate?(A) He remained silent at first and then challenged the bully to a fight.(B) He took no notice of the taunts and insults from his teammate.(C) He could no Ion ger put up with the bully ing and left the team.(D) He accepted the bully ing as a n atural part of a rough-a nd-tumble sport.17. Which of the following is typical of female bullying?(A) Confron ti ng the victim in directly.(B) Caus ing the victim to die in the end.(C) Making fun of the victim with n asty words.(D) Maki ng mea n comme nts about the victim ' s clothes.18.

9月中级口译真题+参考答案(5)SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST （1）（30 minutes）Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.The culture of any society is usually thought to be of two kinds: material and nonmaterial. Material culture includes the man-made phenomena which have physical properties such as height, breadth, and weight. A boat, a machine, a house-all these objects are part of the material culture. The nonmaterial culture is that portion of the environment which surrounds man and which has an impact on his behavior but which lacks these material properties: values, beliefs, traditions, and all the other habits and ideas invented and acquired by man as a member of society.Contemporary sociological theory tends to assign primary importance to the nonmaterial culture in choosing problems for study. It assumes, for example, that boats, planes, automobiles, and so forth, are not nearly so important as the traditions we have developed which make their manufacture possible-indeed, which prescribe how we are to use them. The emphasis of contemporary sociology is to insist that the material culture would not exist had not the nonmaterial culture first been available to suggest the ideas which are embodied in the inventions of material culture.SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST （2）（30 minutes）Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.进入耶鲁大学的校园，看到莘莘学子青春洋溢的脸庞，呼吸着书香浓郁的空气，我不由回想起40年前在北京清华大学度过的美好时光。

年9月中级口译考试真题,答案与解析

年9月中级口译考试真题,答案与解析Spot Dictation:We all have problems and barriers that block our progress or prevent us from moving into new areas. Our problems might include the fear of speaking in front of a group anxiety about math problemsor the reluctance to sound silly trying to speak a foreign language. It's natural to have problems and barriersbut sometimes they limit our experience so muchwe get bored with life. When that happensconsider the following three ways of dealing with the problem or barrier.One way is to pretend it doesn't exist. Avoid itdeny itand lie about it. It's like turning your head the other wayputting on a fake grinand saying"Seethere's really no problem at all. Everything is fine."In addition to looking foolishthis approach leaves the barrier intactand we keep bumping into it. Soa second approach is to fight the barrierto struggle against it. This usually makes the barrier grow. It increases the barrier's magnitude. A person who is obsessed with weight might constantly worry about being fat. He might struggle with it every daytrying diet after diet. And the more he strugglesthe bigger the problem gets.The third alternative is to love the barrier. Accept it. T otally experience it. Tell the truth about it. Describe it in detail.Applying this process is easier if you remember o ideas. First loving a problem is not necessarily the same as enjoying it. Love in this sense means total and unconditional acceptance. Secondunconditional acceptance is not the same as unconditional surrender. Accepting a problem is different than giving up or escaping from it. Ratherthis process involves escaping into the problemdiving into it headfirstand getting to know it in detail.Often the most effective solutions ewhen we face a problem squarelywith eyes wide openthen we can move through the probleminstead of around it. When you are willing to love your problemsyou drain them of much of their energy.【评析】本文选自Dave Ellis 的著作Being a Master Student其中的一个章节：Love your problems and experience your barriers，本文主要介绍了解决问题的三种办法，第一种是直接无视它，就当不存在；第二种是正视它，挑战它，第三种则是爱上困难，充分体验。

Dolphins, like whales, must surface to breathe air through a blowhole on top of their heads. Dolphins are social animals and love company. Many of them, in fact, even enj oy being around humans. It is not uncommon to hear of dolphins giving rides through the water to humans.In addition to being playful, dolphins are helpful to men. For example, as 400 B. C. the Greek poet Arion was saved from drowning by a dolphin. From then until now, dolphins have been helping swimmers who are in trouble. Swimmers, however, are not the only humans they help. In some parts of the world, they can be counted on to help men catch fish.Moreover, dolphins are very intelligent. A dolphin's brain resembles a human brain, but it is larger. Consequently, some people claim that dolphins are really smarter than men. Of course, there is no way of proving this point. Brain size is not an absolute measure of intelligence. Furthermore, measuring dolphins' intelligence in other ways is not possible since men cannot fully communicate with them. Apparently, however, dolphins communicate with each other. At any rate, they make whistling, clicking and buzzing sounds which seem to be at least a form of language. So far, however, men have not been able to figure out the communication code the dolphins use.每年春季，数以万计的中外客商云集申城，参加一年一度的华东出口品交易会。

历年英语翻译中级口译考试试题及答案(完整版)

历年英语翻译中级口译考试试题及答案(完整版)Spot DictationIn America there are no nobles or men of letters, and the common folk mistrust the wealthy; Consequently lawyers formthe highest political class and the most cultivated circle of society. They have therefore nothing to gain by innovation, which adds a conservative interest to their natural taste for public order. If I were asked where I place the American aristocracy, I should reply without hesitation that it is not composed of the rich, who are united together by no commontie, but that it occupies the judicial bench and the bar.When I started researching this topic, I found an interesting website “Legal Reform Now”. As the name suggests, this website is devoted to legal reform and it is definitely concerned about the dominance of lawyers in American government. There I read an article by a political science professor from the university of Wisconsin. One observation the UW article confirms is that the legal profession is the dominant profession of the people re-electto public office. For example, about half our representatives and two-thirds of our senators are lawyers. No otherprofession comes close to having the same the number ofpeople in political office. Effectively, lawyers form our nation’s most powerful organized political constituency in America. Lawyers make our laws and lawyers interpret our laws. When judges are appointed, the American bar association isthe only professional organization that is consulted to rate the fitness of potential judicial appointees. Our nation has been in existence for over 200 years and lawyers have beenthis nation’s aristocracy since its formation. Our system works, but do we really want to have a single profession in charge of our nation? Specifically, do we want to have the legal profession in charge? Next t ime you vote, that’s something to think about.评析：这篇文章是关于律师在美国的地位。
