1Financial regulators in Britain have imposed a rather unusual rule on the bosses of big banks.Starting next year.any guaranteed bonus of top executives could be delayed 1o years if their banks are under investigation for wrongdoing.The main purpose of this"clawback"rule is to hold bankers accountable for harmful risk taking and to restore public trust in financial institution,Yet officials also hope for a much larger benefit:more long term decision-making not only by banks but by all corporations,to build a stronger economy for future generations.“Short-termism”or the desir e for quick profits,has worsened in publicly traded companies.says the Bank of England's top economist.Andrew Haldane.He quotes a gaint of classical economics,Alfred Marshall in describing this financial impatience as acting like"Children who pick the plums out of their pudding to eat them at once”rather than putting them aside to be eaten last.The average time for holding a stock in both the United States and Britain.he notes has dropped from seven years to seven months in recent decades.Transient investors,who demand high quarterly profits from companies,can hinder a firms efforts to invest in lone-term research or to build up customer loyalty.This has been dubbed"quarterly capitalism”.In addition,new digital technologies have allowed more rapid trading of equities quicker use of information,and thus shorters attention spans in financial markets."There seems to be a predominance of short-term thinking at the expense of long-term investing,”said Commissioner Daniel Gallagher of the US Securities and Exchange Commission in a speech this week.In the US,the Sarbanes-Oxley Acl of 2002 has pushed most public companies to defer performance bonuses for senior executives by about a year,slightly helping reduce"short-termism."In its latest survey of CEO pay The Wall street Journal finds that"a substantial part"of executive pay is now tied to performance.Much more could be done to encourage"long-termism,such as changes in the tax code and quicker disclosure of stock acquisitions.In France,shareholders who hold onto a company investment for at least two years can sometimes can more voting rights in a company.Within companies,the right compensation design can provide incentives for executives to think beyond their own time at the company and on behalf of allstakehold ers,Britain’s new rule is a reminder to bankers that society has an interest in their performance not just for the short term but for the long term.21.According to Paragraph 1,one motive in imposing the new rule is theA.enhance bankers'sense of responsibilityB help corporations achieve larger profitsC.build a new system of financial regulationD.guarantee the bonuses of top executives22.Alfred Marshall is quoted to indicateA.the conditions for generating quick profitsernments impatience in decision-makingC.the solid structure of publicly traded companiesD."short-termism"in economic activities23.It is argued that the influence of transient investment on public companies can beA.inditedB.adverseC.minimal D temporary24.The US and France examples and used to illustrateA.the obstacles to preventing"short-termism.B.the significance or long term thinking.C.the approaches to promoting long-termism.D.the prevalence of short-term thinking.25.Which of the following would be the best title for the textA.Failure of Quarterly CapitalismB.Patience as a Corporate VirtueC.Decisiveness Required of Top ExecutivesD.Frustration of Risk-taking BankersText 2Grade inflation-the gradual increase in average GPAs(grade-point averages)over the past few decades-is often considered a product of a consumer era in higher education,in which students are treated like customers to be pleased.But another,related force-a policy often buried deep in course catalogs called grade forgiveness"-is helping raise GPAs.Grade forgiveness allows students to retake a course in which they received a low grade,and the most recent grade or the highest grade is the only one that counts in calculating a student's overall GPA.The use of this little-known practice has accelerated in recent years,as colleges continue to do their utmost to keep students in school(and paying tuition)and improve their gradation rates.When this practice fir started decades ago,it was usually limited to freshmen,to give them a second chance to take a class in their first year if they struggled in their transition to college-level courses.But now most colleges,save for many selective campuses,allow all undergraduates,and even graduate students,to get their low grades forgiven.College officials tend to emphasize that the goal of grade forgiveness is less about the grade itself and more about encouraging students to retake courses critical to their degree program and gradation without incurring a big penalty."Untimely."said Jack Mine,Ohio State University's registrar."we see students achieve more success because they retake a course and do better in subsequent contents or master the content that allows them to graduate on time.That said,there is a way in which grade forgiveness satisfies colleges own needs as well.For public institutions state finds are sometimes tied partly to their success on metrics such as graduation rates and student retention so better grades can,by boosting figures like those,mean more money.And anything that raises GPAs will likely make students who,at the end of the day are paying the bill-feel they’ve gotten a better value for their tuition dollars,which is another big concern for colleges.Indeed grade forgiveness is just another way that universities are responding to consumers' expectations for higher education.Since students and parents expect a college degree to lead to a job,it is in the best interest of a school to tum out gradates who are as qualified as possible-or at least appear to be.On this,students'and colleges’incentive s seem to be aligned.26.What is commonly regarded as the cause of grade inflation?A.The change of course catalogs.B.Students indifference to GPAS.C Colleges neglect of GPAS.D.The influence of consumer culture.27.What was the original purpose of grade forgivenessA.To help freshmen adapt to college learning.B.To maintain colleges graduation rates.C.To prepare graduates for a challenging future.D.To increase universities’income from tuition.28.According to Paragraph 5.grade forgiveness enables collegesA.obtain more financial support.B.boost their student enrollments.C.improve their teaching quality.D.meet local governments’needs.29.What does the phrase“to be aligned”(Line 5.Para.6)most probably mean?A.To counterbalance each otherB.To complement each other.C.To be identical with each otherD.To be contradictory to each other.30.The author examines the practice of grade forgiveness byA assessing its feasibilityB.analyzing the causes behind it.paring different views on it.D.listing its long-run effectsText 3This year marks exactly two centuries since the publication of Frankenstein,or.The Modem Prometheus by Mary Shelley.Even before the invention of the electric light bulb,the author produced a remarkable work of speculative fiction that would foreshadow many chical questions to be raised by technologies yet to come.Today the rapid growth of artificial intelligence(An)raises fundamental questions:"What is intelligence,identity,or consciousnesswhat makes humans humans What is being called artificial general intelligence,machines that would imitate the way humans think continues to evade scientists.Yet humans remain fascinated by the idea of robots that would look,move,and respond like humans,similar to those recently depicted on popular sci-fi Tv series such as"Westworld and"Humans".Just how people think is still far too complex to be understood let alone reproduced,says David Eagleman,a Stanford University neuroscientist,"We are just in a situation where there are no good theories explaining what consciousness actually is and how you could ever build a machine to get there.”But that doesn't mean crucial ethical issues involving Al aren't at hand.The coming use of autonomous vehicles.for example poses thorny ethical questions.Human drivers sometime make split-second decisions.Their reactions may be a complex combination of instant reflexes.input from past driving experiences,and what their eyes and ears tell them in that moment.AI "vision"today is not nearly as sophisticated as that of humans.And to anticipate every imaginable driving situation is a difficult programming problem.Whenever decisions are based on masses of data."you quickly get into a lot of ethical questions,"notes Tan Kiat How,chief executive of a Singapore-based agency that is helping the government develop a voluntary code for the ethical use of Al.Along with Singapore,other governments and mega-corporations are beginning to establish their own guidelines.Britain is setting up a data ethics center.India released its Al ethics strategy this spring.On June 7 Google pledged not to"design or deploy Ar"that would cause"overall harm,"or to develop Al-directed weapons or use Al for surveillance that would violate international norms.It also pledged not to deploy AI whose use would violate international laws or human rights.While the statement is vague,it represents one starting point,So does the idea that decisions made by Al systems should be explainable,transparent.and fair.To put it another way.How can we make sure that the thinking of intelligent machines reflects humanity’s highest values?Only then will they be useful servants and not Frankenstein’s out-of-control monster.31.Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein is mentioned becauseA.fascinates Al scientists all over the worldB.has remained popular for as long as 200 years.C.involves some concerns raised by Al todayD.has sparked serious ethical controversies32.In David Eagleman's opinion,our current knowledge of consciousnessA.helps explain artificial intelligence.B.can be misleading to robot makingC.inspires popular sci-fi TV seriesD.is too limited for us to reproduce it33.The solution to the ethical issues brought by autonomous vehiclesA.can hardly ever be found.B.is still beyond our capacityC.causes little public concernD.has aroused much curiosity34.The authors attitude toward Google’s pledges is one ofA.AffirmationB.skepticismC.contemptD.respect35.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Al’s Future:In the Hands of Tech giant sB.Frankenstein,the Novel Predicting the Age of AC.The Conscience of Al:Complex But InevitableD.AI Shall Be Killers once out of ControlText 4States will be able to force more people to pay sales tax when they make online purchases under a Supreme Court decision Thursday that will leave shoppers with lighter wallets but is a big financial win for states.The Supreme Courts opinion Thursday overruled a pair of decades-old decisions that states said cost them billions of dollars in lost revenue annually.The decisions made it more difficult for states to collect sales tax on certain online purchases.The cases the court overturned said that if a business was shipping a customers purchase to a state where the business didn’t have a physical presence such a s a warehouse or office.the business did't have to collect sales tax for the state.Customers were generally responsible for paying the sales tax to the state themselves if they weren’t charged it,but most didn’t realize they owed it and few paid.Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote that the previous decisions were flawed.Each year the physical presence rule becomes further removed from economic reality and results in significant revenue losses to the States."he wrote in an opinion joined by four other justices,Kennedy wrote that the rule limited states ability to seek long-term prosperity and has prevented market participants from competing on an even playing field.”The ruling is a victory for big chains with a presence in many states,since they usually collect sales tax on online purchases already Now,rivals will be charging sales tax where they hadn't before,Big chains have been collecting sales tax nationwide because they typically have physical stores in whatever state a purchase is being shipped .with its network of warehouses also collects sales tax in every state that charges it,though third-party sellers who use the site don't have to. Until now,many sellers that have a physical presence in only a single state or a few states have been able to avoid charging sales taxes when they ship to addresses outside those states Sellers that use eBay and Etsy.which provide platforms for smaller sellers,also hat collecting sales tax nationwide.Under the ruling Thursday,states can pass laws out..state sellers to collect the state's sales tax from customers and send it to the staleRetail trade groups praised the ruling.saying it levels the playing field for local and online businesses.The losers,said retail analyst Neil Saunders,are online-only retailers especially smaller ones.Those retailers may face headaches complying with various state sales tax laws.The Small Business Entrepreneurship Council advocacy group said in a statement"Small businesses and internet entrepreneurs are not well served at all by this decision.36.The Supreme Court decision Thursday willA.Dette business relations with statesB.put most online business in a dilemmaC.make more online shoppers pay sules taxD.force some sates to ct sales tax37.It can be learned from paragraph 2 and 3 that the overruled decisionsA.have led to the domainance of e-commerceB.have cost consumers a lot over the yearsC.were widely criticized by online purchaseD.were consider unfavorable by states38.According to Justice Anthony Kennedy,the physical presence rule hasA.hindered economic developmentB.brought prosperity to the countryC.harmed fair market competitionD.Boosted growth in states,revenue39.Who are most likely to welcome the Supreme Court rulingA.Internet entrepreneursB.Big-chair ownersB.Third-party sellersD.Small retailers40.In dealing with the Supreme Court decision Thursday the authorA.gives a factual account of it and discusses its consequencesB.describes the long and complicated process of its makingC.presents its main points with conflicting views on themD.cities some saces related to it and analyzes their implicationsPart BDirections.The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order.For Questions 41-45.you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent article by choosing from the list A-G and filling then into the numbered boxes.Paragraphs C and F have been correctly placed.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)A.These tools can help you win every argument-not in the unhelpful sense of beating your opponents but in the better sense of learning about the issues that divide people learning why they disagree with us and learning to talk and work together with them.If we readjust our view of arguments-from a verbal fight or tennis game to a reasoned exchange through which we all gain mutual respect,and understanding-then we change the very nature of what it means to"win"an argument.B.Of course,many discussions are not so successful.Still,we need to be careful not to accuse opponents of bad arguments too quickly.We need to lean how to evaluate them properly.A large part of evaluation is calling out bad arguments,but we also need to admit good arguments by opponents and to apply the same critical standards to ourselves.Humility requires you to recognize weakness in your own arguments and sometimes also to accept reasons on the opposite side.C.None of these will be easy but you can start even if others refuse to Next time you state your position,formulate an argument for what you claim and honestly ask yourself whether your argument is any good.Next time you talk with someone who takes a stand,ask them to give you a reason for their view Spell out their argument fully and charitably.Assess its strength impartially.Raise objections and listen carefully to their replies.D.Carnegie would be right if arguments were fights,which is how we often think of them.Like physical tights,verbal fights can leave both sides bloodied.Even when you win,you end up no better off.Your prospects would be almost as dismal if arguments were even just competitions like.Say,tennis games.Pairs of opponents hit the ball back and forth until one winner emerges from all who entered.Everybody else loses.This kind of thinking is why so many people try to avoid arguments.especially about politics and religion.E.In his 1936 work How to Win Friends and Influence People,Dale Carnegie wrote:"There is only one way.to get the best of an argument-and that is to avoid it."This aversion to arguments is common,but it depends on a mistaken view ofarguments that causes profound problems for our personal and social lives-and in many ways misses the point of arguing in the first place.F.These views of arguments also undermine reason.If you see a conversation as a fight or competition.you can win by cheating as long as you don go caught.You will be happy to convince people with bad arguments.You can call their views stupid or joke about how ignorant they are.None of these tricks will help you understand them,their positions or the issues that divide you,but they can help you win-in one way.G.There is a better way to win arguments.Imagine that you favor increasing the minimum wage in our state,and I do not.If you yell,"Yes,"and I yell."No,"neither of us learns anything.We neither understand nor respect each other.and we have no basis for compromise or cooperation.In contrast,suppose you give a reasonable argument:that full-time workers should not have to live in poverty.Then I counter with another reasonable argument:that a higher minimum wage will force businesses to employ fewer people for less time.Now we can understand each other's positions and recognize our shared values,since we both care about needy workers.41-42-F-43-44-C-45Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)It was only after I started to write a weekly column about the medical journals,and beg read scientific papers from beginning to end that I realized just how bad much of the medical literature frequency was,I came to recognize various sins of a bad paper:the kind of paper that purports to show that people who est more than one kilo of broccoli a week were 1.17 times more likely than those who eat less to suffer late in life from pernicious anaemia.46.There is a great deal of this kind of nonsense in the medical journals which,when taken up by broadcasters and the lay press,generate both health scores and short-lived dietary enthusiasms.Why is so much bad science published?A recent paper,titled“The Natural Selection of Bad Science”,published on the Royal Society’s open science website,attempts to answer this intriguing and important question.It says that the problem is not merely than people do bad science,but than out current system of career advancement positively encourages it.what is important is not truth,but inflationary process at work:(47)Nowadays anyone applying for a research post has to have published twice the number of papers than would have been required for the same post only 10 years ago.Never mind the quality,then count the number.(48)Attempts have been made to curd this tendency,for example by trying to incorporate some measure of quality as well as quantity into the assessment of an app licant’s papers.This is the famed citation index,that is to say the number of times a paper has been quoted else where in the scientific literature the assumption being that an important paper will be cited more often than one of small account.(49)This would be reasonable if it were not for the fact that scientist can easily arrange to cite themselves in their future publicat or get associates to do so for them in return for similar favours.Boiling down an individual’s output to simple metrics,such as numb er of publications or journal impacts,entails considerable saving in time,energy and ambiguity.Unfortunate the long-term costs of using simple quantitative metrics to assess researcher merit are likely to be quite great.(50)If we are serious about ensuring that our science is both meaningful and reproducible,we must ensure that our institutions encourage that king of science.Section III:WritingPart ADirections:Suppose you are working for the“aiding Rural Primary School”project of your university.Write an email to answer the inquiry from an

Britain’town,it is true are not prevented from applying,but they generally lack the resources to put together a bid to beat their bigger competitions.A town of culture award could,it is argued,become an annual event,attracting funding and creating jobs.Some might see the proposal as a booby prize for the fact that Britain is no longer be able to apply for the much more prestigious title of European capital of culture,a sought-after award bagged by Glasgow in1990and Liverpool in2008.A cynic might speculate that the UK is on the verge of disappearing into an endless fever of self-celebration in its desperation to reinvent itself for the post-Brexit world:after town of culture,who knows that will follow—village of culture?Suburb of culture?Hamlet of culture?It is also wise to recall that such titles are not a cure-all.A badly run“year of culture”washes in and out of a place like the tide,bringing prominence for a spell but leaving no lasting benefits to the community.The really successful holders of such titles are those that do a great deal more than fill hotel bedrooms and bring in high-profile arts events and good press for a year.They transform the aspirations of the people who live there;they nudge the self-image of the city into a bolder and more optimistic light.It is hard to get right,and requires a remarkable degree of vision,as well as cooperation between city authorities,the private sector,community groups and cultural organisations.But it can be done:Glasgow’s year as European capital of culture can certainly be seen as one of complex series of factors that have turned the city into the power of art,music and theatre that it remains today.A“town of culture”could be not just about the arts but about honouring a town’s peculiarities-helping sustain its high street,supporting local facilities and above all celebrating its people and turn it into action.21.Cooper and her colleagues argue that a“town of culture”award could________[A]consolidate the town-city ties in Britain.[B]promote cooperation among Britain’s towns.[C]increase the economic strength of Britain’s towns.[D]focus Britain’s limited resources on cultural events.22.According to Paragraph2,the proposal might be regarded by some as________[A]a sensible compromise.[B]a self-deceiving attempt.[C]an eye-cotching bonus.[D]an inaccessible target.23.The author suggests that a title holder is successful only if it________[A]endeavours to maintain its image.[B]meets the aspirations of its people.[C]brings its local arts to prominence.[D]commits to its long-term growth.24.Glasgow is mentioned in Paragraph3to present________[A]a contrasting case.[B]a supporting example.[C]a background story.[D]a related topic.25.What is the author’s attitude towards the proposal?[A]Skeptical[B]Objective[C]Favourable[D]CriticalText2Scientific publishing has long been a licence to print money.Scientists need journals in which to publish their research,so they will supply the articles without monetary reward.Other scientists perform the specialised work of peer review also for free,because it is a central element in the acquisition of status and the production of scientific knowledge.With the content of papers secured for free,the publisher needs only find a market for its journal.Until this century,university libraries were not very price sensitive.Scientific publishers routinely report profit margins approaching40%on their operations,at a time when the rest of the publishing industry is in an existential crisis.The Dutch giant Elsevier,which claims to publish25%of the scientific papers produced in the world,made profits of more than£900m last year,while UK universities alone spent more than£210m in2016to enable researchers to access their own publicly funded research:both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them.The most drastic,and thoroughly illegal,reaction has been the emergence of Sci-Hub,a kind of global photocopier for scientific papers,set up in2012,which now claims to offer access to every paywalled article published since2015.The success of Sci-Hub,which relies on researchers passing on copies they have themselves legally accessed,shows the legal ecosystem has lost legitimacy among its users and must be transformed so that it works for all participants.In Britain the move towards open access publishing has been driven by funding bodies.In some ways it has been very successful.More than half of all British scientific research is now published under open access terms:either freely available from the moment of publication,or paywalled for a year or more so that the publishers can make a profit before being placed on general release.Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities.Publishers have responded to the demand that they make their product free to readers by charging their writers fees to cover the costs of preparing an article.These range from around£500to$5,000.A report last year pointed out that the costs both of subscriptions and of these“article preparation costs”had been steadily rising at a rate above inflation.In some ways the scientific publishing model resembles the economy of the social internet:labour is provided free in exchange for the hope of status,while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places.In both cases,we need a rebalancing of power.26.Scientific publishing is seen as“a licence to print money”partly because________[A]its content acquisition costs nothing.[B]its marketing strategy has been successful.[C]its payment for peer review is reduced.[D]its funding has enjoyed a steady increase.27.According to Paragraphs2and3,scientific publishers Elsevier have________[A]financed researchers generously.[B]gone through an existential crisis.[C]revived the publishing industry.[D]thrived mainly on university libraries.28.How does the author feel about the success of Sci-Hub?[A]Relieved.[B]Concerned.[C]Puzzled.[D]Encouraged.29.It can be learned from Paragraphs5and6that open access terms________[A]free universities from financial burdens.[B]render publishing much easier for scientists.[C]reduce the cost of publication substantially.[D]allow publishers some room to make money.30.Which of the following characterises the scientific publishing model?[A]Trial subscription is offered.[B]Labour triumphs over status.[C]The few feed on the many.[D]Costs are well controlled.Text3Progressives often support diversity mandates as a path to equality and a way to level the playing field.But all too often such policies are an insincere form of virtue-signaling that benefits only the most privileged and does little to help average people.A pair of bills sponsored by Massachusetts state Senator Jason Lewis and House Speaker Pro Tempore Patricia Haddad,to ensure“gender parity”on boards and commissions,provide a case in point.Haddad and Lewis are concerned that more than half the state-government boards are less than40percent female.In order to ensure that elite women have more such opportunities.they have proposed imposing government quotas.If the bills become law,state boards and commissions will be required to set aside50percent of board seats for women by2022.The bills are similar to a measure recently adopted in California,which last year became the first state to require gender quotas for private companies.In signing the measure.California Governor Jerry Brown admitted that the law, which expressly classifies people on the basis of sex,is probably unconstitutional.The US Supreme Court frowns on sex-based classifications unless they are designed to address an“important”policy interest,Because the California law applies to all boards,even where there is no history of prior discrimination, courts are likely to rule that the law violates the constitutional guarantee of“equal protection”.But are such government mandates even necessary?Female participation on corporate boards may not currently mirror the percentage of women in the general population.but so what?The number of women on corporate boards has been steadily increasing without government interference. According to a study by Catalyst,between2010and2015the share of women on the boards of global corporations increased by54percent.Requiring companies to make gender the primary qualification for board membership will inevitably lead to less experienced private sector boards.That is exactly what happened when Norway adopted a nationwide corporate gender quota.Writing in The New Republic,Alice Lee notes that increasing the number of opportunities for board membership without increasing the pool of qualified women to serve on such boards has led to a“golden skirt”phenomenon, where the same elite women scoop up multiple seats on a variety of boards.Next time somebody pushes corporate quotas as a way to promote gender equity,remember that such policies are largely self-serving measures that make their sponsors feel good but do little to help average women.31.The author believes that the bills sponsored by Lewis and Haddad will________[A]help little to reduce gender bias.[B]pose a threat to the state government.[C]raise women’s position in politics.[D]greatly broaden career options.32.Which of the following is true of the California measure?[A]It has irritated private business owners.[B]It is welcomed by the Supreme Court.[C]It may go against the Constitution.[D]It will settle the prior controversies.33.The author mentions the study by Catalyst to illustrate________[A]the harm from arbitrary board decision.[B]the importance of constitutional guarantees.[C]the pressure on women in global corporations.[D]the needlessness of government interventions.34.Norway’s adoption of a nationwide corporate gender quota has led to________[A]the underestimation of elite women’s role.[B]the objection to female participation on boards.[C]the entry of unqualified candidates into the board.[D]the growing tension between labor and management.35.Which of the following can be inferred from the text?[A]Women’s need in employment should be considered.[B]Feasibility should be a prime concern in policymaking.[C]Everyone should try hard to promote social justice.[D]Major social issues should be the focus of legislation.Text4Last Thursday,the French Senate passed a digital services tax,which would impose an entirely new tax on large multinationals that provide digital services to consumers or users in France.Digital services include everything from providing a platform for selling goods and services online to targeting advertising based on user data,and the tax applies to gross revenue from such services.Many French politicians and media outlets have referred to this as a “GAFA tax,”meaning that it is designed to apply primarily to companies such as Google,Apple,Facebook and Amazon—in other words,multinational tech companies based in the United States。

Poverty jumped sharply to 13.2 percent, an 11-year high.No one should be surprised at the increased disparity.

2020年考研《英语一》翻译题答案(海文版)Section III TranslationDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration—one of the great folk wanderings of history—swept from Europe to America. 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.47) The United States is the product of two principal forces-the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world.48) But, the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible. Butthe result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American.49) The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the 15th- and 16th-century explorations of North America. In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six- to twelve-week voyage, they subsisted on barely enough food allotted to them. Many of the ship were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes storms blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought unbearably long delay.“To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brought almost inexpressible relief.” said one recorder of events, “The air at twelve leagues’ distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.” The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land was a sight of dense woods. 50) The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a veritable real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. Here was abundant fuel and lumber. Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores.46、【参考译文】在多种强大的动机驱动下,这次(移民)运动在一片荒野上建立了一个国家,并且就本质来说,塑造了一个未知大陆的性格和命运。

2020年考研《英语一》翻译真题答案(海文版)Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)Mental health is our birthright. (46) we don't have to learn how to be mentally healthy, it is built into us in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend, a broken bone. Mental health can't be learned, only reawakened. It is like immune system of the body, which under stress or through lack of nutrition or exercise can be weakened, but which never leaves us. When we don't understand the value of mental health and we don't know how to gain access to it, mental health will remain hidden from us. (47) Our mental health doesn't go anywhere; like the sun behind a cloud, it can be temporarily hidden from view, but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant.Mental health is the seed that contains self-esteem -confidence in ourselves and an ability to trust in our common sense. It allows us to have perspective on our lives-the ability to not take ourselves too seriously, to laugh at ourselves, to see the bigger picture, and to see that things will work out. It's a form of innate or unlearned optimism.(48) Mental health allows us to view others with sympathy if they are having troubles, with kindness if they are in pain, and with unconditional love no matter who they are. Mental health is the source of creativity for solving problems,resolving conflict, making our surroundings more beautiful, managing our home life, or coming up with a creative business idea or invention to make our lives easier. It gives us patience for ourselves. And toward others as well as patience while driving, catching a fish, working on our car, orraising a child. It allows us to see the beauty thatsurrounds us each moment in nature, in culture, in the flowof our daily lives.(49)Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives, it is perfecting ordinary as you will see that it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions. It has been available even in the most mundane of life situations to show you right from wrong, good from bad,friend from foe. Mental health has commonly been called conscience, instinct, wisdom, common sense, or the inner voice, we think of it simply as a health and helpful flow of intelligent thought. (50) As you will come to see, knowingthat mental health is always available and knowing to trustit allow us to slow down to the moment and live life happily.【参考译文】46. 我们不必一定去学习如何做到心理健康,这种水平植根于我们自身,就像我们的身体知道如何愈合伤口,如何修复断骨。

2020考研英语翻译模拟试题及答案解析

2020考研英语翻译模拟试题及答案解析

2020考研英语翻译模拟试题及答案解析(1)Any discussion of the American educational system would be less than complete if it did not mention the emphasis that many colleges and universities place upon the nonacademic, social,“extracurricular”aspect of education, often defined as personal growth. Perhaps a useful way of viewing the notion of personal growth would be to picture the very large and general term“education” as being all-embracing, including as subsets within it academic and nonacademic components.This may be one of the most difficult concepts to convey to someone who is not intimately familiar with American higher education. Few educational systems in other countries place the same emphasis on this blend of academic and personal education. The majority of colleges and universities in the United States make some attempt to integrate personal and intellectual growth in the undergraduate years. (2) If the ultimate goal of undergraduate education in America were simply to convey a set body of knowledge, the term of studies could undoubtedly be reduced. Yet the terms of studies are extended in order to give students a chance to grow and develop in other ways.Numerous opportunities are made available to students to become involved in sports, student government, musical and dramatic organizations, and countless other organized and individual activities designed to enhance one’s personal growth and provide some recreation and enjoyment outside of the classroom. (3)Experience with campus organizations andoff-campus community involvement can be highly valuable inpreparing international students for future leadership intheir professional field upon their return home.The typical American college’s support forextracurricular activity is perhaps unique in the world, This special educational dimension, beyond the classroom and laboratory experience, does not mean that extracurricular participation is required to gain an American degree. It remains an entirely optional activity, but (4)it is notedhere because Americans have traditionally viewed success in one’s role as a citizen as closely linked to a “well-rounded”life that incorporates a variety of social, athletic, and cultural activities into a person’s experience.A great many American campuses and communities have organized special extracurricular activities for studentsfrom other countries. (5) On most campuses, one can find an international club, which includes Americans, where students can get to know and learn socially from students from other countries, as well as Americans. International students are almost always invited, through organized hospitality activities, into the homes of Americans living in or outside the academic community.答案1.如果对美国教育体系的讨论未能涉及很多学院及大学教育中非学术性的、社会的及“课程外”的方面,即其对个性成长的重视,那么这种讨论就不全面。

More similarities than differences, however, can be found between the terms, (46)Both science and technology imply a thinking process, both are concerned with causal relationships in the material world, and both employ an experimental methodology that results in empirical demonstrations that can be verified by repetition. (47)Science, at least in theory, is less concerned with the practicality of its results and more concerned with the development of general laws, but in practice science and technology are inextricably involved with each other. The varying interplay of the two can be observed in the historical development of such practitioners as chemists, engineers, physicists, astronomers, carpenters, potters, and many other specialists. Differing educational requirements, social status, vocabulary, methodology, and types of rewards, as well as institutional objectives and professional goals, contribute to such distinctions as can be made between the activities of scientists and technologists but throughout history the practitioners of “pure”science have made many practical as well as theoretical contributions.(48) Indeed, the concept that science provides the ideas for technological innovations and that pure research is thereforeessential for any significant advancement in industrial civilization is essentially a myth. Most of the greatest changes in industrial civilization cannot be traced to the laboratory. Fundamental tools and processes in the fields of mechanics, chemistry, astronomy, metallurgy, and hydraulics were developed before the laws governing their functions were discovered. The steam engine, for example, was commonplace before the science of thermodynamics elucidated the physical principle underlying its operations.In recent years a sharp value distinction has their bitter opponents, but today many people have come to fear technology much more than science. (49) For these people , science may be perceived as a serene, objective source for understanding the eternal laws of nature, whereas the practical manifestations of technology in the modern world now seem to them to be out of control.(50) Many historians of science argue not only that technology is an essential condition of advanced, industrial civilization but also that the rate of technological change has developed its own momentum in recent centuries. Innovations now seem to appear at a rate that increase geometrically, without respect to geographical limits or political systems. These innovations tend to transform traditional cultural systems, frequently with unexpected social consequences. Thus technology can be conceived as both a creative and a destructive process.答案46.科学与技术都包含有一种思维的过程,两者都涉及到物质世界的因果关系,两者都运用了一套实验的方法论,这种方法论所产生的是能够通过重复得以验证的经验性的实证结果。

(1)(Its motive was religious, but he claimed also for it that it was a definitive technique, a method, capable of producing desired political results. Gandhi’s attitude was not that of most Western pacifists. Satyagraha,) (2(the method Gandhi proposed and practiced, first evolved in South Africa, was a sort of non-violent warfare, a way of defeating the enemy without hurting him and without feeling or arousing hatred.) It entailed such things as civil disobedience, strikes, lying down in front of railway trains, enduring police charges without running away and without hitting back, and the like. Gandhi objected to “passive resistance” as a translation of Satyagraha: in Gujarati, it seems, the word means “firmness in the truth”.

2020年考研英语翻译模拟试题及答案(2)

2020年考研英语翻译模拟试题及答案(2)There is no question that science-fiction writers have become more ambitious, stylistically and thematically, in recent years. (1) (But this may have less to do with the luring call of academic surroundings than with changing market conditions—a factor that academic critics rarely take into account.) Robert Silverberg, a former president of The Science Fiction Writers of America, is one of the mostprolific professionals in a field dominated by people who actually write for a living. (Unlike mystery or Western writers, most science-fiction writers cannot expect to cashin on fat movie sales or TV tie-ins.) (2) (Still in his late thirties, Silverberg has published more than a hundred books, and he is disarmingly frank about the relationship between the quality of genuine prose and the quality of available outlet. )By his own account, he was “an annoyingly verbal young man” from Brooklyn who picked up his first science-fiction book at the age of ten, started writing seriously at the age of thirteen, and at seventeen nearly gave up in despair over his inability to break into the pulp magazines.(3)( At his parents’ urging, he enrolled in Columbia University, so that, if worst came to worst, he could always go to the School of Journalism and “get a nice steady j ob somewhere”.) During his sophomore year, he sold his first science-fiction story to a Scottish magazine named Nebula. By the end of his junior year, he had sold a novel and twenty more stories. (4) (By the end of his senior year, he was earning two hundred dollars a week writing science fiction, and his parents were reconciled to his pursuit of theliterary life. )“I became very cynical very quickly,” he says. First I couldn’t sell anything, then I could sell everything. The market played to my worst characteristics. An editor of a schlock magazine would call up to tell me he had a ten-thousand-word hole to fill in his next issue. I’d fill it overnight for a hundred and fifty dollars. I found that rewriting made no difference. (5)( I knew I could not possibly write the kinds of things I admired as a reader—Joyce, Kafka, Mann—so I detached myself from my work.) I was a phenomenon among my friends in college, a published,selling author. But they always asked, “When are you going to do something serious?” —me aning something that wasn’t science fiction—and I kept telling them, “ When I’m financially secure.”答案1.但是这个点与其说是与学术环境具有诱惑力的召唤相关,还不如说是与变化的市场状况相关——一这是一个学术评论家很少考虑的因素。

(1)(Its motive was religious, but he claimed also for it that it was a definitive technique, a method, capable of producing desired political results. Gandhi’s attitude was not that of most Western pacifists. Satyagraha,) (2(the method Gandhi proposed and practiced, first evolved in South Africa, was a sort of non-violent warfare, a way of defeating the enemy without hurting him and without feeling or arousing hatred.) It entailed such things as civil disobedience, strikes, lying down in front of railway trains, enduring police charges without running away and without hitting back, and the like. Gandhi objected to “passive resistance” as a translation of Satyagraha: in Gujarati, it seems, the word means “firmness in the truth”. (3(In his early days Gandhi served as a stretcher-bearer on the British side in the Boer War, and he was prepared to do the same again in the war of 1914-1918.) Even after he had completely abjured violence he was honest enough to see that in war it is usually necessary to take sides. Since his whole political life centred round a struggle for national independence, he could not and, (4)(indeed, he did not take the sterile and dishonest line of pretending that in every war both sides are exactly the same and it makes no difference who wins.) Nor did he, like most Western pacifists, specialize in avoiding awkward questions. In relation to the late war, one question that every pacifist had a clear obligation to answer was: “What about the Jews? Are you prepared to see them exterminated? If not, how do you propose to save them without resorting to war?” (5)(I must say that I have never heard, from any Western pacifist, an honest answer to this question, though I have heard plenty of evasions, usually of the “you’re another” type.) But it so happens that Gandhi was asked a somewhat similar question in 1938 and that his answer is on record in Mr. Louis Fischer’s Gandhi and Stalin. According to Mr. Fischer, Gandhi’s view was that the German Jews ought to commit collective suicide, which “would have aroused the world and the people of Germany to Hitler’s violence.” 总体分析 本文是一篇介绍甘地的和平主义的文章。

文章先介绍了甘地的和平主义的性质、来源、具体形式等。

接着指出了甘地作为和平主义者的独特之处:首先,他虽然反对暴力,但并不否认战争的立场其次,他不躲避回答棘手的问题。

本文考查的知识点:后置定语、插入语、it做形式主语的主语从句,等。

试题精解 1.[精解] 本题考核知识点:后置定语的翻译。

该句是由but连接的两个并列分句:前一分句是简单句,后一分句是主从复合句。

后一分句的主干是he claimed that...,其中that引导宾语从句。

从句中形容词短语capable of...做后置定语,修饰名词a technique, a method。

该定语可以按照汉语习惯译为前置定语,即,“一种可以产生预期的政治效果的明显的技巧和方法”也可以采用拆译法,译为一个句子,增译代词“它”做主语。

词汇:claim意为“宣称,声称,说”definite意为“肯定的,确定的清楚的,明显的”,它和technique搭配时取“明显的”含义desired意为“渴望的,期望的”,当它和results/effect等词搭配时常常译为“预期的”。

翻译:其动机是宗教性质的,但他也说这是一种明显的技巧,一种方法,它可以产生预期的政治效果。

2.[精解] 本题考核知识点:后置定语的翻译和词义的选择。

该句的主干结构是:the method... was a sort of warfare。

主语the method后有两个后置定语:一个是省略关系代词的定语从句Gandhi proposed and practiced另一个是过去分词短语first evolved in...。

如果把它们都译为汉语的前置定语会很冗长,不符合汉语表达习惯。

因此可把第一个定语前置,第二个定语转译为谓语。

而真正的谓语前可加上“这”或“它”指代真正的主语。

表语a sort of warfare后是一个较长的同位语a way of defeating...。

其中介词短语of...做后置定语修饰名词a way,翻译时应前置。

词汇:practice意为“练习,训练经常做从事”等,在本句中与propose(提出)对应译为“付诸实践”。

evolve意为“逐渐形成进化”,但它在本句中不能将基本含义照搬,而应意译为“起源于(南非)”。

warfare意为“作战,战争斗争,冲突”等,根据上下文,该词应增译为“斗争的方式(方法)”。

翻译:这个由甘地提出并付诸实践的方法,最早起源于南非,是一种非暴力的斗争方式,用既不伤害对方又不会引发仇恨的手段打败敌人。

3.[精解] 本题考核知识点:定语和状语的翻译 该句是and连接的并列句,其主干结构是:Gandhi served as a... and he was prepared...。

前一分句中“in his early days”和“in the Boer War”都作时间状语,修饰谓语served,翻译时应放在句首。

“on the British side”做后置定语,修饰stretcher-bearer,应译为前置定语,即,“英方的担架员”。

词汇:serve as sth.意为“(为……)工作,服务,履行义务,尽职责”stretcher-bearer指“抬担架者”on sb.’s side意为“站在某人一边,和某人观点一致”。

翻译:早年间,在布尔战争期间甘地曾经为英方抬过担架,而且在1914-1918年战争期间他又准备这么做。

4.[精解] 本题考核知识点:后置定语、主语从句的翻译。

该句的主干是he did not take the... line,介词短语of...做后置定语修饰宾语the line。

由于定语太长,应采取拆译法,另起一句。

动名词pretending后接有that引导的宾语从句。

该从句由两个并列的分句组成:both sides are... and it makes...,后一分句中it为形式主语,从句who wins为真正的主语,汉语中不存在这种语法形式,因此可以直接将从句内容译为主语。

词汇:line一词的含义较多,但在本句中的含义是“态度,看法”fruitless意为“没有成果的,无成效的,徒然的”pretend意为“假装”,本句中它后面跟有从句,应增译为“假装说”。

翻译:而且也确实没有采取毫无意义的、不诚实的态度,假装说在所有战争中参战双方完全一样,因而谁获得胜利都无所谓。

5.[精解] 本题考核知识点:插入语、后置定语的翻译 该句的主干是I must say,后面是that引导的宾语从句。

宾语从句是一个主从复合句。

主句是I have never heard an honest answer,其谓语和宾语之间插入了一个状语成分,翻译时可放在句首或谓语之前,译为“从任何一个西方和平主义者那里我从未听说过”或“我从未从任何一个西方和平主义者那里听说过”。

though引导转折状语从句,其中介词短语of...做后置定语,修饰宾语evasions,可译为前置定语,也可另起一句。
