Unit1 College LifePassage A学无止境终考的最后一天，东部一所的大学里，一群大四的工科生聚集在一幢教学楼的台阶上，谈论着即刻就要开始的考试。
他们脸上都充满自信。
在参加即将到来的毕业典礼和从事未来的工作前，这是他们最后一门考试。
他们有的谈起了已经找到的工作，有的则谈论着要找的工作。
4年的大学学习给了他们全部的自信，使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。
眼前这场考试，不过是小事一桩。
这门课的教授已经说过，除考场上不能交头接耳外，允许他们带任何书或笔记到考场。
考生们依次进入考场，心情轻松而愉快。
当教授把考卷发给在座的考生后，学生们脸上的笑容更加灿烂，因为考卷上只有五道论述题。
3个小时过去了，教授开始收回考卷。
考生们的脸上充满惊慌的表情，自信已经荡然无存。
当教授收完考卷，看着全班学生时，所有的人都沉默不语。
她扫视着一张张焦虑的脸问道：“5道题答完的有多少？”没人举手。
“答完4道的有多少？”还是没有人举手。
“完成3道题的？2道题的？”考生们有些坐不住了，不安地动了动。
“那么，有没有写完一道题的？我想总有人做完一道题吧！”考场里还是一片寂静。
教授放下手中的考卷，说：“果真不出我所料。
”“我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经学完了4年工科课程，在这个领域里，你们还有很多东西不懂。
在你们今后的日常工作中，类似于今天考卷上你们无法回答的问题很常见。
”接着，她微笑着补充说：“你们都会通过考试，但是请记住，即使你们现在已经毕业了，你们的学习才刚刚开始。
”多年后，这位老师的姓名已经被淡忘，但她的教诲却深深地刻在记忆中。
Passage B时光如能倒流四年的学习生涯结束，毕业的那一刻终于到来。
不到两个星期我就要毕业了。
回首往昔，竟不敢相信时间就这样匆匆逝去。
我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边询问教学楼在哪儿。
现在我已是即将毕业的老生，用羡慕的眼光看待大一新生。
我每天都祈愿时间会凝滞，让接下来的两周过得更慢一些。

英汉翻译基础培训课件
英汉翻译基础培训我向来总以为翻译比创作容易因为至少是无须构想。
但到真的一译就会遇到难关譬如一个名词或动词写不出创作时候可以回避翻译却不成也还得想一直弄到头昏眼花好像在脑子里摸一个急于要开箱子的钥匙却没有。
——鲁迅一.翻译的定义。
二.翻译的标准。
三.直译PK意译。
四.理解原文过程中的误区。
五.英汉语言差异及相应翻译策略翻译的定义翻译是用一种语言把另一种语言所表达的思维内容准确而完整地重新表达出来。
——张培基1980翻译是将一种文字之真义全部移至另一种文字而绝不失其风格和神韵。
——吴献书1949翻译是在译入语中再现与原语的信息最切近的自然对等物首先就是意义而言其次是就文体而言。
——奈达1974翻译的标准在我国近现代最有影响但至今仍有争议的是严复的信达雅理论。
“信达雅”对翻译中的主要问题都涉及到了且提法鲜明简洁近百年来补我国译界奉为佳臬。
令人遗憾的是此标准失之笼统可操作性较差以致后人不得不做许多具体的不同解读。
在国外最有代表性的是美国翻译理论家尤金·奈达Eugene Nida 的功能对等理论Dynamic Equivalence。
功能对等理论以意义和风格对等为基础强调译入语读者对译文的反应与原文读者对原文的反应基本一致。
读者客观反应作为衡量译品好坏的标准。
中外翻译界关于翻译标准的讨论从未停止过。
其中最为著名的有林语堂的“忠实通顺美”鲁迅的“宁信而不顺”瞿秋白的“信顺统一”傅雷的“神似”等等。
我们的基本要求是“信达”即“准确通顺自然”准确原文信息文体风格通顺符合汉语语法规则自然符合说话习惯可读性强增彩不增意一是在“善解原意”的基础上对原谅结构进行重新组合使译文的表达符合汉语的规范使读者读起来顺口听起来顺耳看起来顺耳力求避免“欧式汉语”。
二是在不增加原文意思的前提下应尽力进行一些文字润饰使其增添文采原文粗劣者除外。
PK意译直译literary translation就是在转达原谅意思时使原谅的表达形式与和句法结构尽量同原文一致能完全对等的就完全对等不能完全对等的也要大致对等。

昂立口译培训班完全讲义
昂立培训班完全讲义一、即席演讲(Impromptu Speech)口译是口头地将信息从一种语言形式转换成另一种语言形式表达出来的交际活动。
译员服务的对象是发言人和听众，自己既是听众又是讲话者，所以从发声、英汉语言篇章、灵活应变的角度熟悉并应用公共演讲的技能应该在口译培训的初始阶段就得以强化。
首先让学生观摩典型的汉、英语演讲，了解口译工作的现场，然后让学生以“我最喜欢的颜色”和“我省/市的自然资源”为题分别做英、汉语即席讲话，让其他同学练习接续传译（consecutive interpreting），练习时应注意：1、发言时吐字清晰，声音洪亮悦耳，音量适中，可参照腹部呼吸法发声训练。
2、无需慷慨陈词，但是听起来一定要态度亲切、自然真诚，保持与听众的目光交流。
3、口译时一般用第一人称，但是在同时兼任会谈双方的译员时需每次指明发言者身份。
4、确保听众能听懂自己的讲话，速度在每分钟90~160词之间，听众鼓掌或哄笑时适当停顿，说到专有名词和头衔时应稍稍放慢速度，力求准确；察言观色，根据听众反应判断译语是否准确。
5、作口译时少用或不用手势，即兴发言时难免有口误甚至被人纠正错误，这时应表现出良好素养，不做鬼脸，不皱眉头，虚心接受批评，立即改正。
二、传递意义(Interpreting the Meaning of the Utterance)口译与笔译除了形式上的差别外，最突出的特点在于口译的即时性（real-time）,发言人话音一落，译员就必须把刚听到的长达3~5分钟的讲话（100~120个词/分钟）完整地在相应时间内（通常为3/4时间）转述出来。
很多人能完整地复述一、两个小时的电影内容，但是很难在短时间内记住300~600个词。
口译不是逐字口头翻译，而是把“意义”（sense）从一种语言形式转化成另一种语言形式。
这时应鼓励学生主要用大脑记忆意义而不是用笔来记忆，否则就会陷入只注意记字眼而不是意义、只见树木不见森林的误区，影响后面记笔记的学习和训练。
体验英语第二册 passage a 课文翻译
Unit one passage a 牛津大学牛津大学是英国最古老的大学，也是世界最著名的高等学府。
牛津大学始建于12世纪。
它位于英格兰的牛津，在伦敦西北约80公里处。
牛津大学有16,300多名学生（1999－2000），其中留学生占将近四分之一。
他们来自130多个国家。
牛津大学有35个学院，还有5个由不同宗教团体建立的私人学院。
5个私人学院中，有3个只招男生。
学院中，圣希尔达和萨默维尔学院只收女生，其他均为男女兼收。
牛津的每个学院都是独立于大学的实体，由该学院的院长和管委会成员负责管理。
部分管委会成员都称为导师的学院教师，其余的是大学教授和讲师。
每个学院管理自己的房产和资产，遴选自己的管委会，选择和招收自己的本科生。
大学提供某些图书馆、实验室和其他设施，但教学和学生生活主要由各学院负责。
牛津大学给每个学生指定一个导师，他主要通过辅导课监督学生的学习。
导师每周和1到2名学生见面一次，学生如需专业指导，还可以去约见其他的导师，也可选听大学老师讲授的课程。
学生选听什么课程是根据自己的兴趣和导师的建议而定的。
学位由大学授予，而不是各个学院。
最低文科或理科学位是优等文学学士。
牛津还在其他众多学科领域授予最高的学位，颁发文凭和证书。
罗兹德奖学金面向美国、加拿大和很多其他国家的学生，为他们提供至少两年的牛津学习费用。
英国政府为在牛津和其他英国境内的大学里求学的美国公民提供"马歇尔奖学金"。
然而，奖学金和助学金的竞争极其激烈，而且通常要求很严。
学生们在申请某一项奖学金之前应仔细核查是否有资格，因为多数奖学金对学生国籍和（或）课程都有限制。
牛津师生员工积极参与主动招生的活动，2001年这种活动有55项以上，包括走访3,700所中学，以鼓励优秀学生报考牛津大学，而不管其背景如何。
在2001年度的"创新"竞赛中，牛津大学被授予英国最具创新精神的大学称号。
该竞赛旨在发现哪一所英国大学在最广的领域内取得了创新和进取的最大成就。

翻译讲座(九)
第八讲翻译与文体第27课翻译与文体--应用文翻译(1)翻译不仅要译出原文的意思，而且还要译出原文的语言文体风格。
语言文体风格不仅包括因时间、地理、阶级、性别、职业、年龄、情景等所引起的语言变体（如各种方言、正式用语，非正式用语等），还包括各种体裁的作品（如科技文体，公文文体，新闻文体，口语体，书面语体等）。
对文体的划分，语言学家仁者见仁，角度不同分类也就不一。
本书中的应用文，指除了文学作品、科技英语、新闻报刊和论说文以外的一切文本，内容庞杂，形式多样，包括各类信函（如邀请信、祝贺信、慰问信、感谢信、介绍信、推荐信、商贸函电等）、各类公文（如法律文件、各类合同、政府公告、规章、决议、布告、通知、启事等）、各类广告（如商品广告、公益广告）及其他实用性文字（如证书、条据、贺卡、名片等）。
鉴于应用文范围较广，不同类别之间在文体上又有较大差异，本课这儿主要讨论公文体、商贸函电及广告文体的翻译。
一、公文的文体特点及翻译（一）公文的文体特点公文主要包括政府发布的各种公告、宣言、声明、规章法令、通告、启示和各类法律文件。
其文体特点主要体现在以下几方面：1）措词准确。
发布公文的目的一般在于解释或阐明公文发布者的立场、观点或政策、措施，因此公文在措词上必须准确明晰，切忌模棱两可或含糊晦涩。
2）用词正式，且多古体词。
公文作为政府或职能部门所发布的文章，需具有其权威性、规范性。
因此在用词上一般较为正式，并且不排除使用一些较为古雅的词（如hereinafter, hereof, herewith等等）。
3）普通词多有特定意义。
许多普通的词在公文体中常常具有其特定的意义。
如allowance一词通常指"允许"、"津贴"，而在经贸合同中则多指"折扣".4）长句、复杂句较多。
公文体为使其逻辑严谨，表意准确，在句法上常常叠床架屋，以至使得句式有时显得臃肿迟滞，同时句子的长度也大为增加。
Passage Translation段落翻译
Passage Translation段落翻译For the development of this in our country, the economy to develop quickly, it may not always be so quiet, safe. Attention must be paid to stable, coordinated development, but stable and coordinate is relative, not absolute. The development is the hard truth. This issue should be clear. If the analysis is inappropriate, misleading, will become be timid and overcautious, did not dare to emancipate the mind, dare not go, the result is the loss of time, like a sail against the current, or.对于我们这样发展中的大国来说，经济要发展的快一点，不可能总是那么平平静静、稳稳当当。
要注意经济稳定、协调地发展，但稳定和协调也是相对的，不是绝对的。
发展才是硬道理。
这个问题要搞清楚。
如果分析不当，造成误解，就会变得谨小慎微，不敢解放思想，不敢放开手脚，结果是丧失时机，犹如逆水行舟，不进则退。

passage 11翻译
Passage11 人类的智力并不是我们想象的那样“人有多种智力”1智力不像高度那种绝对的事物可以简单的测量，很大程度上因为人们拥有多种智力而不是单一一种简单智力。
2总的来说，我已经确认了七种类型的智力。
其中在这个社会最有价值的两种是语言和逻辑数理的智力。
当人们认为某人很聪明时，通常参考这两种智力，因为拥有语言和逻辑数理这两种能力的人在提供的智力测试中起重要作用。
3但是还有五种其他的智力类型每种同样重要：空间智力，音乐智力，身体运动的智力和两种个人智力——人际智力，知道如何处理人际关系。
和自我认知智力，自我认知的能力。
任何一种相对其他都没有优先权。
七种智力类型的“重要性转换”4这七种智力类型的相关重要性随着时间变化转变，而且不同文化间也有差异。
在一个狩猎的社会，比如，对自己身体的良好控制盒知道自己周围环境而不是增加或减少很快。
在日本社会，人际智力——小组工作良好和达到公共目标的能力——很重要。
5历史上，不同的教育系统强调不同的智力混合类型。
在传统的学徒系统中，身体运动智力，空间智力和人际智力被认为很有价值。
在旧式的宗教学校，关注的是语言智力和人际智力。
现代的世俗学校则强调语言智力和逻辑数理智力，但是我认为在不远的将来的学校将淡化语言智力的重要性。
因为借助电脑工作，逻辑数理智力将会对程序非常重要，而自我认识智力将对个人计划起重要作用。
6我想说的是逻辑数理智力和语言智力在今天都很重要，但它不会永远这样。
我们需要对智力的混合一直在变化有一个敏感的认识，以便在未来我们不会限制在一种特殊的混合类型。
生物技术发现智力秘密7生物学的研究已经奠定了多种智力类型的基础。
8研究表明：当中风或肿瘤导致人的神经系统受损时，并不是所有的能力都受到同等程度的破坏。
如果你的大脑左半球神经受到损坏，你将会完全失去你的语言能力，但在同等程度这并不影响你的音乐智力，空间智力或者人际技巧。
9相反的，如果你的大脑右半球神经受到损伤，你的语言能力不受影响但却严重损害了你的音乐智力，空间智力或者人际能力。

（不以为然地）
Reading ComprehensionPassage 1Professional boxing has long been viewed askance (不以为然地) by the respectable elements of society. Generally banned by law in earlier days, the fighting was usually done with bare fists, and bouts (较量，比赛) often lasted forty or fifty rounds.In 1882 John L. Sullivan, a slugging fighter of great power, won the world heavyweight championship from Paddy Ryan in a bare-fisted battle marked by hitting, wrestling, scratching, and biting. Five years later, while fighting Pasty Cardiff at Minneapolis, Sullivan broke his right arm in the third round, but he continued fighting to a six-round draw. In 1889, Sullivan defeated Jake Kilrain in the last bare knuckle championship fight, winning twenty thousand dollars and a diamond prize belt. His admirers talked then of running him for Congress, but he traveled to Australia for a boxing tour instead, coming back only to lose his title in a twenty-one-round bout with a young Californian named Jams J. Corbett.“Gentlemen Jim’s” victory in this bout marked a turning point in professional pugilism (拳击术), for it demonstrated the superiority of scientific boxing over sheer brute strength. But Corbett’s reign (统治) ended in 1897, when his opponent, Bob Fitzsimmons, accomplished three epochal feats in less than three seconds: Fitzsimmons knocked out an Irishman on Saint Patrick’s Day, won the heavyweight championship of the world, and invented the terrible “solar plexus punch”. (太阳穴重击)1.The selection implies that professional boxing has been viewed askance because ________.A)boxing is brutalB)boxers are not considered respectableC)in the early days boxing was illegalD)the bouts are too long2.John L. Sullivan was _______.A)the first heavyweight boxerB) a powerful sluggerC) a boxer who used scientific techniquesD)the biggest money winner among boxers3.Sullivan held the world’s heavyweight title for ________.A)about eight yearsB)only a yearC)five yearsD)twenty-one years4.“Gentleman Jim’s” victory over Sullivan was a turning point because it _______.A)demonstrated the advantages of scientific boxingB)marked the first appearance of the solar plexus punchC)was decided on the basis of brute strengthD)dethroned the long-time heavyweight champion5.Implied but not stated: __________.A)the solar plexus punch is an effective blow in boxingB)Bob Fitzsimmons accomplished his epochal feats because he was an IrishmanC)Bouts in the early days of boxing often lasted forty or fifty roundD)Boxing was not very popular with Americans before 1900Passage 2Tine to RelaxLeisure plays an important part in British life. There are four main reasons for this.First of all, people spend less time working now than they used to, mostly due to, mostly due to the introduction of new technology in industry. The normal British working week is Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 5.00pm, although some people regularly work a few hours’ overtime each week. Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two weeks’ paid holiday a year. In addition, there are six or more bank holidays a year when all banks and businesses are closed. In some cases the dates of these national holidays change from year to year and in different parts of Britain.Another reason is that, thanks to modern medicine and higher living standards, people live longer now. This means that after retirement, people have quite a few years of leisure left. Nowadays a much higher proportion of the population is over sixty, but in this group there are more women than men.Finally, fewer babies are born each year and the average family in Britain has two children. This is one result of changing social attitudes. For example, many more married women now go out to work. The money they earn influences their leisure tine. Even married women who do not go out to work have more time for interesting hobbies because most British homes washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other labor-saving gadgets.1.‘Time to relax’ means ‘time for__________’A)refreshmentsB)enjoymentC)amusementD)rest2.‘A paid holiday’ means working people___________.A)have to pay for their holidayB)have no pay when they are on holidayC)get usual pay when they are on holidayD)get less pay when they are on holiday3.Among the old people, there are___________.A)as many men as womenB)more women than menC)more men than womenD)much more women than men4.In Britain, married women have more leisure hours because they have__________.A)work with a good payB) a lot of timeC)fewer children and more saving-saving gadgetsD)washing-machines and vacuum cleaners5.which of the following ideas is not suggested in the text?A)Some married women have more time for reading.B)Some married women have interesting hobbies.C)Some married women go out to work.D)Some married women stay at home.Passage 3Museums are places where collections of objects are preserved and displayed. The objects may be anything found in nature or made by man. There are museums devoted to art, science, history, industry, and technology. But museums are no longer just storehouses for collections. Today nearly all museums, large or small, carry on educational programmes. Museums offer guided tours, lectures, films, music recitals, art lessons, and other attractions.Museums work constantly to improve their collections and ways of displaying them. All museums are always on the watch for new additions to their collections. Works of art are bought from art dealers and private collectors or at auction (拍卖) sales. Museums also accept gifts and bequests (遗物) , but the large museums no longer accept everything that is offered to them. They accept only objects or collections that meet their high standards.What is to be gained from visiting museums? Museum exhibits can teach us bout the world in which we live－the materials it is made of, the trees and plants that cover it, and the animals that have lived on it since its beginning. We can learn about the activities of man－his history and development and his accomplishments in arts and crafts.1.The first paragraph deals with_________.A)what museums preservesB)what kind of objects museums displayC)where museums obtain their objectsD)how museums function2.Which statement is no true?A)Museums are not only storehouses for collections.B)Museums are places where you can learn something.C)Museums preserve and display only things found in nature.D)Museums carry on educational and research programmes.3.Where do objects at museums usually come from?A)From auction sales.B)From art dealers and private collectors.C)From gifts and bequests.D)All the above.4.The large museums accept _________.A)everything offered to themB)all the gifts and bequestsC)only objects that meet their high standardsD)only things that small museums do not have5.The last paragraph is about___________.A)the knowledge one gets from visiting museums ]B)the things one can see in museumsC)the world and the people living in itD)museum collections from other landsPassage 4George Bellows (1882－1925) was perhaps the most popular artist America has produced—people loved him because he was one of them. He had a genius for finding subjects to paint in the interesting life around him. He painted prizefights, political power, revival meetings, and dead-end kids swimming in New York’s East River. His pictures captured the exorbitant vitality of the home-run hitter.Bellows’ prizefight pictures are unsurpassed in spite of the good-humored criticism of professional boxers. One of the best of these paintings, Stag at Sharkey’s, captures the thrilling climax of a brutal professional battle.“I’ve never seen so O.K. a picture of two boys throwing leather,” says former world champion boxer Mickey Walker, himself an exhibiting painter, “but as a fighter I am kayoed by the thing. Here is the big guy delivering the knockout punch, a left hook on the jaw, and a cross to follow, but he has his right foot way up in the air—nobody could flatten nobody with his right foot up in the air. I’m not complaining; it’s a great picture, and as an artist, I’m a bum, just a fighter who can paint s little. Bellows was an artist, and there’s big difference; that’s why the foot is in the air.”1.Bellows’choice of subject fell mainly in the area of__________.A)athleticsB)everyday activitiesC)prizefightsD)circus scenes2.Stag at Sharkey’s is Bellows’___________.A)greatest paintingB)sole painting of a professional prizefightC)painting of a knock-out punchD)none of the above3.According to the selection, Bellows’ prizefight pictures may be called___________.A)accurate in every detailB)good-humored criticismC)the best in American artD)both B and C4.Walker’s comments indicate that he thought Bellows had___________.A)deliberately destroyed the realism of the pictureB)made an insignificant errorC)added to the artistic balance of the pictureD)either B or C5.An appropriate title for this selection would be____________.]A)The People’s ChoiceB)One Artistic TechniqueC)Paintings of Boxing MatchesD)When the Critic Was a BoxerPassage 5Ballet training in Russia begins at age nine or ten. Whatever the limitations of ballet in theSoviet Union, it is no wonder that Russian ballet dancers perform with ease leaps and lifts seldom seen in other countries－nine years of ballet discipline is almost unheard of outside Russia.The period devoted to dance classes increases gradually from two or three hours a day to five or six. As in other institutions of higher learning, ballet students receive monthly government stipends (津贴) in their last four years, varying from 160 to 200 rubles ($16 to $20). Of the thirty pupils to begin ballet each year, fewer than twenty-five usually graduate; the others drop out because of poor because of poor health or lack of ability.Upon graduation, the starting salary for members of a corps de ballet is 100 rubles a month, while prima ballerinas receive 6000. Russia’s most famous ballet company, the Bolshoi, has first pick of each graduating class, but few dancers have the good fortune to begin with this company; all graduates, however, are assured of jobs in ballet.Stars such as Ulanova were produced in this fashion, with training started early and security, if not intellectual independence, guaranteed.1.Ballet training in Russia begins when a child____________.A)begins schoolB)is in the primary gradesC)finishes his academic workD)can walk2.Long training has enabled Russian ballet dancers to______________.A)give unusually long performancesB)develop new ballet figuresC)perform leaps and lifts seldom seen elsewhereD)overcome the limitations of ballet in the U. S.S.

S. S. R. receive stipends from thegovernmentB)Only the best students in the ballet classes receive government stipendsC)The author does not think that Soviet ballet is excellent in every respectD)Financial security is more important to Soviet ballet dancers than is ballet’ itselfPassage 6Amy Johnson was a very ambitious and energetic person. She didn’t have much in common with other girls in her school, however. She played football better than most boys, and unfortunately she made a rather bad impression on many of her teachers. Amy just didn’t act thethought a girl should. She studied at a university and later took a job as a typist. Although she was enthusiastic and did her best, she made mistakes and was poorly paid. She didn’t want to be a typist anyway—she dreamed of becoming a pilot!Amy moved to London, borrowed some money, and learned to fly. Nobody, however, wanted to hire a female pilot. She decided to fly alone to Australia to fly as any man. Her parents lent her money to buy an airplane.Amy set off on May 5, 1930. Her route took her over Vienna, Constantinople, and Baghdad. She was caught in a sandstorm and had to make an emergency landing in the desert. But she landed in India six days later. She had broken the record to India by two days. Over Burma she ran into a monsoon (季风), and was able to save herself only by landing on a football field. She finally reached Australia. The plane propeller (螺旋桨) had been broken during her last landing, and she had to crashland. But Amy had proved that she could fly—and that a woman could do almost anything she really put her mind to.Amy Johnson later married the pilot who had come to her rescue in Australia.1.Amy’s teachers didn’t like her because_____________.A)she was ambitiousB)she played football wellC)she impressed them deeplyD)she didn’t act as a girl2.Amy was poorly paid as she______________.A)didn’t type wellB)was too enthusiasticC)didn’t try her bestD)wanted to be a pilot3.Amy had broken the record to India when she arrived there_____________.A)in two daysB)in less than two daysC)in less than six daysD)in more than six days4.Amy had broken the record to India she arrived there______________.A)there was something wrong with her planeB)there was no airport for her to landC)she ran out of gasolineD)she felt dizzy5.That Amy married the pilot was simply because_________________.A)she loved himB)she was saved by himC)they fell in love at first sightD)they were both pilotsPassage 7For most people, life is easier and more comfortable than ever before. Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking. Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have taken the drudgery out of housework. Released from thesehousehold chores, many wives have found jobs outside the home. Women are achieving economic independence.Families, too, are simpler today. In America, it is not customary for parents to live with their married children. With our greater mobility, relatives have scattered, the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people, after they marry, going wherever their jobs or their parents or their interests take them.Young adult women have freedom, too. While attending college, they often live away from home, sometimes far from their parents or their relatives. After college, they move to the city, find a job, and ser up a ‘bachelor’ apartment. This is the era of women’s liberation.But all this freedom and affluence (富裕) have mad an unforeseen and on some respects a devastating (破坏的) effect on marriage.1.In the U. S. ,families are becoming______________.A)biggerB)smallerC)easierD)freer2.Why are women able to achieve economic independence?A)Because they have their own salary.B)Because convenience foods are available.C)Because they are free away from drudgery.D)Because they are attending college.3.Hard housework was taken away by______________.A)liberated womenB)retired parentsC)supermarketsD)modern equipment4.Which of the following statements is not true according to the text?A)Women’s liberation has made it possible for them to study.B)Comfortable life adversely influences marriage in America.C)Adults can go wherever they want.D)Women prefer to be bachelors.5.The text implies that the author_______________.A)highly praises the liberation of womenB)heartily enjoys this freedom and affluenceC)strongly recommends such kind of social lifeD)greatly worries about the bond of marriagePassage 8No author in American literature is better known or more loved than Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Born in Missouri in 1835, he grew up on the banks of the Mississippi River and used the pen name of ‘Mark Twain’. The two novels brought him his greatest fame: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. Another book, Life on the Mississippi, told of his adventures on the river boats of that period.It was during the Civil War that Mark Twain’s life as a writer started. At that time he wasworking as a newspaper man in Nevada and California. His short story, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County”, was an immediate success and his new life began.In 1870, Mark Twain married Olivia Langdon. He had fallen in love with her picture even before he met her. His wife had a great influence on Twain’s later books.Mark Twain was also a very successful lecturer. His travels around the country giving talks on different kinds of subjects helped make him famous and increased the sale of his books.Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn are considered Twain’s best works. They are marked by humor and satire and provide his readers with an excellent picture of his time. His last book was completed in 1909, one year before his death. He was then 74 years old.1.Mark Twain is_______________.A)the best known author in American literatureB)the best author in America all the timeC)the best known author in the worldD)the best author in the world2.The book, Life on the Mississippi, told us________________.A)his adventures on the MississippiB)his successful way to a writerC)his life as a writerD)his successful lectures3.Which of the following novels made him famous?A)Tom SawyerB)Huckleberry FinnC)Life on the MississippiD)Both A and B4.Mark Twain’s life as a writer started_____________.A)when he was a boyB)before he got marriedC)after he got marriedD)when he got married5.From the story we can learn that Mark Twain_______________.A)was a good speakerB)was a good readerC)was a poor newspaper manD)could draw wonderful picturesPassage 9In Switzerland, six miles west of Geneva, lies a collection of laboratories and buildings, and, most curious of all, a circular mound of earth more than 650 feet in diameter. This cluster has unique importance. It is Europe’s one and only atomic city dedicated to investigating the atom for peaceful purposes.The strange buildings belong to the European Council for Nuclear Research, more popularly known, from its French initials, as CERN. The council was born when a handful of statesmen and scientific experts met in Paris in 1950. Their aim was to “establish an organization providing for collaboration among European states in nuclear research of a pure scientific and fundamentalcharacter.”The CERN agreement was signed in 1953, and work on the atomic city began in 1954. Today CERN’s facilities are among the most modern and the most diversifies in the world. Impressive as the scientific aspect may be, the real significance of CERN may lie with the thousand people—the scientists, lab workers, and administrative crew drawn from the fourteen member nations—who populate it. British engineers work side by side with Swiss electricians, Yugoslav nuclear physicists, and Butch mathematicians. The official languages are French and English, with German an unofficial third. But CERN is no tower of Babel—the language of science is universal and all-embracing.1.The laboratories and buildings discussed in the selection belong to___________.A) a private research organizationB)SwitzerlandC)The European Council for Nuclear ResearchD)The United Nations2.The cluster has unique significance because it is____________.A)Europe’s only atomic cityB) a city devoted to nuclear researchC) a city dedicated to investigating the atom for peaceful purposesD) a clearing house for the world’s nuclear research3.The European Council for Nuclear Research was evolved by____________.A)the officers of the United NationsB) a group of European scientistsC)the statesmen and scientists of SwitzerlandD) a handful of statesmen and scientific experts4.The selection says that CERN is not a tower of Babel because____________.A)work is the common denominator of all the staffB)the language of science is universalC)CERN has adopted only two official languagesD)all the workers are drawn from one country5.The real significance of CERN may lie in its staff because they _________.A)work in international harmonyB)come from all over the worldC)are investigating all phases of human conductD)are eliminating the problems of individual nationalismPassage 10The verb ‘procrastinate’ comes form the Latin ‘procrastinare’, which means ‘to postpone until tomorrow.’ To procrastinate, then, is to delay doing something until some future time, and a procrastinator is someone who is always putting off what he or she should be doing right now.Those of us who have a tendency toward procrastination know that it is a terrible habit. Every day we tell ourselves must start doing things immediately, and each day we postpone our work, are late for deadlines, and put off keeping our promises to other people. Because we are always in the process of procrastinating, we are also always trying to catch up. We are always doing yesterday’s jobs today, and tomorrow we will be doing today’s unfinished work.Maybe the way to overcome procrastination is to change our habits gradually. We can start with a daily schedule of the things we want or need to accomplish. But let’s be reasonable. We shouldn’t crowd the list with too many tasks, and we should be realistic about what we can do. Especially in the beginning we should be lenient with ourselves. After all, if we get discouraged at the start, we will go right back to our old habits.Finally, if we begin to follow our own schedule for each day, we will stop postponing the chores that face us. Life will become far less complicated and each day will be easier to face. We will undoubtedly feel better about ourselves, too, because we will know that we can overcome our weaknesses and improve ourselves.1.The first paragraph tells us ___________of the word ‘procrastinate’.A)the originB)the meaningC)the historyD)both A and B2. A procrastinator is a person who always postpones ___________ work.A)importantB)unimportantC)important or unimportantD)uninteresting3.The first step suggested by the author to change the habit of procrastinating is__________.A)not to fill our plans with too many tasksB)to make a plan for everyday activitiesC)to list as many tasks as possibleD)not to be reasonable with our plan4.Procrastinators do not live a happy life, because____________.A)life is complicated and uneasy for them to faceB)they can’t choose what to doC)things often become more difficult the next dayD)they will lose interest in doing things5.The author of the passage tries to tell us____________.A)that to be a procrastinator is not easyB)to be procrastinatorsC)that to be a procrastinator is bad for oneselfD)that being a procrastinator is good for othersPassage 11Before World War II, the labor force in the United States was made up almost entirely of men, Those women who did have jobs were, as a rule, single and usually worked in schools, businesses or small factories, particularly in the garment industry. It was only the exceptional married women who worked. Those who did work generally owned their businesses, such as a dress shop or a restaurant. They are also large numbers of married women, many of whom have children.Since World War II, the entrance of both married and single women in the working world has continued to increase. Today, not only are there more single women available for the labor market,but there are also large numbers of married women, many of whom have children.One of the primary reasons why there’s a noticeable increase in the number of employed women is that more women, both single and married, have become aware of the need for personal self-fulfillment. Of course, other factors have also contributed to the increase in the number of working women. Some of these include a change in the education among many women, who are entering very specialized fields such as medicine, law and computer science. Modern appliances have also reduced the amount of housework and a demand for expensive goods has increased the necessity for a “second outcome”.1.Before the Second World War the labor force was made up____________.A)mostly of menB)only of menC)of single womenD)of women2.Women with jobs were generally____________.A)marriedB)singleC)oldD)young3.Today there are __________in the working world.A)more single womenB)more married womenC)fewer womenD)both A and B4.What’s the most important reason for this increase of women labor force?A)They need do less housework.B)They have had high education.C)They go to work for their self-satisfaction.D)They need more money.5.Which of the following is the best title?A)Women in the Labor ForceB)Women on SocietyC)Men during World War IID)Modern Labor ForcePassage 12A good reader is one who can read beyond the lines, seeing ideas implied through the words, and one who can bridge the gap between the obvious and the suggested, thus obtaining much more information. Let’s look at the following sentence: JOHN HENDERSON WAS DRIVING HOME LATE LAST NIGHT FROM AN EXHAUSTING BUSINESS TRIP.As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of a story. It tells the reader whom the story is about—John Henderson, and when the event takes place—late one night. If we read carefully and thoughtfully we can also infer from this sentence that1.John Henderson may be a businessman because he has just finished a “business trip”;2.John Henderson must be very tired because the trip is “exhausting”;3.John Henderson must be very eager to get home because he is driving “late” at night rightafter this exhausting trip.Making inferences while reading will always help us achieve a better comprehension. But we should keep in mind that inferences must be made with care and supported by evidence. In order to make reasonable inferences we should1.read and think beyond the printed words;2.analyze the information given in the text;3.determine the author’s reason for his choice of words.1.According to the author, a good reader___________.A)can read between the linesB)should have a large vocabularyC)knows enough grammar rulesD)must have a good knowledge of the author2.From the quoted sentence, you know John Henderson was most likely_______________.A) a sellerB) a man on businessC) a driverD) a traveler3.From the quoted sentence, you know John Henderson had a______________.A)tired tripB)bored tripC)boring tripD)tiring trip4.When the author asks us to make inferences while reading , he intends to say_____________.A)‘make guesses’B)‘have imaginations’C)‘do translations’D)‘reach conclusions’5.The best topic of the passage is___________.A)‘Reading Skills’B)‘Try to Be a Good Reader’C)‘Reading Is Important’D)‘Reading Is Thinking’Passage 13According to airline industry statistics, almost 90% of airline accidents are survivable or partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before takeoff and ask questions if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on you hips and as tightly as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates. During takeoffs and landings you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before takeoff you should locate the neatest exit and an alternative exit and count the rows of seats between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary.In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on。

p a s s a g e翻译Unit1 College LifePassage A学无止境终考的最后一天，东部一所的大学里，一群大四的工科生聚集在一幢教学楼的台阶上，谈论着即刻就要开始的考试。
他们脸上都充满自信。
在参加即将到来的毕业典礼和从事未来的工作前，这是他们最后一门考试。
他们有的谈起了已经找到的工作，有的则谈论着要找的工作。
4年的大学学习给了他们全部的自信，使他们觉得自己足以征服世界。
眼前这场考试，不过是小事一桩。
这门课的教授已经说过，除考场上不能交头接耳外，允许他们带任何书或笔记到考场。
考生们依次进入考场，心情轻松而愉快。
当教授把考卷发给在座的考生后，学生们脸上的笑容更加灿烂，因为考卷上只有五道论述题。
3个小时过去了，教授开始收回考卷。
考生们的脸上充满惊慌的表情，自信已经荡然无存。
当教授收完考卷，看着全班学生时，所有的人都沉默不语。
她扫视着一张张焦虑的脸问道：“5道题答完的有多少？”没人举手。
“答完4道的有多少？”还是没有人举手。
“完成3道题的？2道题的？”考生们有些坐不住了，不安地动了动。
“那么，有没有写完一道题的？我想总有人做完一道题吧！”考场里还是一片寂静。
教授放下手中的考卷，说：“果真不出我所料。
”“我只是想让你们牢牢记住，即使你们已经学完了4年工科课程，在这个领域里，你们还有很多东西不懂。
在你们今后的日常工作中，类似于今天考卷上你们无法回答的问题很常见。
”接着，她微笑着补充说：“你们都会通过考试，但是请记住，即使你们现在已经毕业了，你们的学习才刚刚开始。
”多年后，这位老师的姓名已经被淡忘，但她的教诲却深深地刻在记忆中。
Passage B时光如能倒流四年的学习生涯结束，毕业的那一刻终于到来。
不到两个星期我就要毕业了。
回首往昔，竟不敢相信时间就这样匆匆逝去。
我依然记得第一天去上课时的情景，我一边望着课表背面的地图，一边询问教学楼在哪儿。
现在我已是即将毕业的老生，用羡慕的眼光看待大一新生。
我每天都祈愿时间会凝滞，让接下来的两周过得更慢一些。
许多人迫不及待地等待毕业，我却与他们恰恰相反。
我希望时间倒流，让我将大学生活的每一天重新来过。
对我来说，大学生活是非常重要的学习经历，绝大多数学习过程都是在课外学到的。
大学第二年对我来说也许是生命中最精彩的一年。
正是这一年，我终于让妈妈确信我住校没有问题，她同意了我住校。
也正是这一年，我结交了一些终身好友。
经历了许多成功与失败使我对自己有了更深的了解。
大二生活使我体验了许多新的事物：山地宿营，在报纸上发表一些拙陋的诗歌，在课堂上给老师画漫画。
漫步在熟悉的校园路上，我陷入了深深的反思和对往昔的回忆之中。
我多希望能够重头来过，再次扑捉大学生活的快乐和兴奋。
一想到就要毕业我的心就惶惶恐恐。
从记事起我就一直在读书，我感到还有许多东西想学，可我不得不离开学校毕业了。
世界如此之大，可能发生的事情又如此之多。
过去的四年我一直身处安全网中，学生身份使我倍感安全，使我逃离无情的真实世界。
这最后的两个星期，每每想到就要毕业，我就打心眼儿里感到不安。
从记事起我一直是名学生。
我感到自己一直在回避毕业。
每当有人问起我毕业后准备做什么时，我就想大声尖叫。
我不知道我以后想做什么，甚至不敢想象早上醒来没有课上会是什么样的情形。
最近一次工作面试被问起“你想一辈子从事这个职业吗？”，我认为这个问题可笑之极，差一点笑出声来，不过我还是诚实地说出我的想法。
我不知道未来如何。
过去的四年间，我曾多次改变想法，对我来说，为某一个职业做一辈子的承诺简直是一种痛苦折磨。
漫步在午夜的校园，我深知会怀念大学生活的日日夜夜。
这里每一件小东西都显得更加美丽。
他们都越发使我认识到我的大学生活是多么美妙和独特。
当我不情愿地关闭我的大学生活之门时，我将永远珍惜这些过去的日子。
Unit 2 Study OnlinePassage A互联网与教育在每个人的生活中，教育都扮演着一个非常重要的角色。
我们去上学是为了想更多了解我们周围的世界，同时也扩展我们思维境界。
过去，传统的教室经常是老师与学生共同探索美妙知识世界的场所。
可是现在，一切都发生改变。
科技正逐步取代这些互动形式并给我们一种全新的学习方式。
互联网便是其中的一种方式之一。
通过互联网进行学习是一种新时尚，许多人认为它比传统的教学方式更成功。
互联网使得学校开发出大量的学习资料，供学生随时从网上获取。
在网上，学生可以对所学课程和时间安排随意选择。
这样，完成一项学业也不存在问题。
我们发现，在线教育为我们提供绝好的信息资源，节约时间和金钱而且非常方便。
以前我们总是去图书馆查找资料，并为找寻所需资料花上几个小时。
现在，“图书馆”就在我们家里，而且一天24小时开放。
作为一个初为人母的我来说，使用网上信息对我帮助很大。
当我在家陪孩子时，我依然能够与外界保持联系，搜寻我所需要的教育材料。
我还可以足不出户就能与同学们交换思想、看法和信息。
互联网不仅给我们提供大量的信息，还为我们节省金钱和时间。
有人预言，因为可以通过互联网获取信息，未来的教育将会比现在便宜得多。
学校占地、校舍建设和教师的工资都在不断上涨，这使传统的教育比在线教育更昂贵。
此外，常规（非在线）课程严重依赖书本和其他传统的印刷资料。
而在线教育则通过电子手段来传送教室讲座、笔记以及布置作业，这样每年可节省数以千计的美元。
因为在线课程只要求学生通过发电子邮件参与讨论和小组合作，教室也不需要了。
在互联网上开班授课也非常方便，因为它不再像传统教育那样受到场地和时间的限制。
首先，传统课室授课会限制班级人数，而教室对网络教育来说就根本不是问题。
每个人都可以在网上接受教育。
学生们也不用竭尽全力抢着去注册他们喜欢的课程。
此外，因为没有时间限制，他们可以根据个人需要重复所做过的练习。
网上教育会逐步推广，学生们会有更多机会选择以怎样的方式和什么时间上课。
他们会轻松地找到自己需要的课程并根据需要重复教学内容。
互联网给我们提供了找寻快乐的机会，而且可以使我们用快捷和经济的方式学习知识。
在我看来未来世界不可避免的是在线生活时代。
Passage B凯莉·麦姬随着时间的推移，凯莉学会移动手指并可以使用计算机。
借助轮椅，她可以处理自己的日常生活。
尽管这些进步都不能使她重操旧业，但却给她打开的机会的大门。
凯莉说：“那次意外改变了我对生活的看法，所以我马上开始寻找受教育的机会，因为我还没有学位。
”绝大多数传统教育不能够让凯莉即接受教育又照顾成长中的子女。
于是，凯莉选择了宾夕法尼亚州立大学的远程教育。
“接受远程是件艰难的事，但是为了我的孩子们这很值得。
尽管种种原因使我即使拿到学位后也不能工作，但是我会成为一个受过高等教育的人，为我的孩子们树立一个好榜样。
同时，我学到的知识对他们将来的成长也有好处。
远程教育使我的生活由悲剧变为胜利。
”她说：“远程教育给我提供了追求个人目标和工作的机会。
我的教育和我的残疾、我的家庭生活以及照顾孩子互不影响。
”凯莉是一个成功的学生，她每个学期都修12个学分。
她计划完成文学、艺术和理科学士学位，然后继续在网上拿一个硕士学位。
毕业后，凯莉打算为伤残人士服务，也许会在一个康复机构任顾问。
凯莉很感谢她的优秀教师们，也感谢（远程教育）给学生提供的一些帮助。
这些帮助包括经济资助、残疾人服务和重新就业培训。
许多工作人员都称赞凯莉表现非常出色。
Unit 3 Leasure ActivityPassage A俱乐部和社团聚会、喝酒、吃饭——哦，还有工作——都可以打发时光，但你内心深处确有一些你真正想追寻的东西，却难以准确地说出来。
你长久以来一直在追寻的，我的朋友，就是投入大学社团活动的世界中去，去到像牛津这样的天地之中发掘广泛多样的活动。
无论你是想继续已有的兴趣，还是想培养新的爱好，你首先要做的就是去牛津学生会的新生集会上看看那些令人眼花缭乱的俱乐部。
带上你的新生集会门票，你就可以在那里得到一份全新版的牛津综合指南。
如果你错过了这场集会，没关系！你还可以在牛津目录上查找社团，那是在新生周就会发给你的一本手册。
花些时间浏览一下——这是你了解牛津的重要机会。
人们参与社团的程度有着极大的不同，一些人完全投身于自己所参与的俱乐部，在其余三年的大学生活中几乎不与非同一俱乐部的学生交谈，并逐渐成为这个组织中的领导者；而另一些人则宁愿采取更为折衷的方式：成为多个俱乐部的成员，并参与所有自己感兴趣的活动。
还有许多人，也许有点蠢，完全无视大学社团的存在，只是与大学里的伙伴们在一起闲逛。
社团为结识学院以外的人提供了绝好的机会，尤其对文科学生而言，结识本学院以外的人有时不太容易。
但是不要忘记，大多数学院有着自己的一些欣欣向荣的社团，你可以在本学院新生周加入。
音乐和戏剧是比较流行的社团，你很容易就能找到同伴一起加入。
假如你有雄心壮志向全校开办你的莎士比亚说唱社团，你可以在大学学监处注册，他会给予你启动许可和贷款，当然还有来自其他方面的各种优待。
社团的一个不利方面，尤其在规模较大的社团，常常会发生“钻营”现象。
“钻营”是一个贬义词，用来指有些学生在俱乐部或社团里追求职位的提高（通常是要做主席），有些社团，比如牛津学生会或同业协会总能吸引那些比别人更有野心的人。
当学生们突然想起到毕业时确保找到高薪工作的简历还是空空如也时，这样的钻营也就不可避免。
但是不要担心：绝大多数学生还是趋于避开这样只为自己打算的行为，过着正常的生活。
有着超过300个注册的社团，这里总会有一个社团适合你。
除了明显的政治团体和体育俱乐部之外，还有所有主要宗教的团体；对国家和地区的社会文化感兴趣的社团，包括从中国到保加利亚，从英国的苏格兰到爱赛克斯；对志愿者工作感兴趣的慈善团体；文学，音乐，戏剧，科幻小说；以及相当数量的奇特社团，例如：LMH布丁社团，牛津特技社团和普湖牌友俱乐部。
你绝不会感到乏味。
Passage B心态平衡的生活在今天的现实世界中，心态平衡的生活是非常必要的。
生活中心态失衡，人即不可能正常工作，也不可能发展成为一个全面发展的个体。
生活中失去了心态的平衡，人们会失去满足感，也会失去愉悦的感觉。
我在学习和工作中曾经经历过巨大的压力，我也曾试过各种各样的方法来调整自己，缓解压力，最终我在闲暇时间里找到了解脱的办法。
对我而言，闲暇时间非常重要也很有必要，没有它，我肯定会发疯。
闲暇时间里，我常常阅读，听音乐，和现实生活中的朋友交谈，或者在网上跟网友聊天。
我很喜欢外出，去一个安静的地方，阅读沃尔特暬萏芈吐薏貢弗洛斯特的诗歌或书籍。
