2015上半年CATTI三级笔译真题及参考答案

2015上半年CATTI三级笔译真题及参考答案——英译汉Section1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Forgenerations, coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch ofeastern Utah. Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiledunderground. Supply companies line the town streets. Above the road that windstoward the mines, a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with theslogan “Coal =Jobs.”犹他州东部有一个矿产丰富的小镇,那里的人们祖祖辈辈都以采煤为生。

一提起在地下辛苦采煤时的情景,每个家庭总是倍感骄傲。

街道两旁的煤炭供应公司一个挨着一个。

在通往矿井的蜿蜒小路上方的广告牌上,一个满脸炭灰的矿工凝视着远方,旁边的标语写着“煤炭=工作”。

Butrecently, fear has settled in. The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant,tucked among the canyons near town, is set to close, a result of new, stricterfederal pollution regulations.但是最近,小镇的人们心里充满了恐惧。

联邦政府新颁布了一套更为严格的污染管理条例,这使得小镇附近峡谷之中的一家美国最古老的燃煤电厂频临倒闭。

As energy companies tack away from coal, toward cleaner, cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here, the Carbon Power Plant, have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs. Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere.由于能源公司纷纷弃用煤炭,转而使用更清洁、更廉价的天然气,小镇的人们越来越害怕,他们的家园可能很快就会人去楼空。

2016年5月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷Section1:English-Chinese Translation(50points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.Old people in Thiengoly say they can remember when there were so many trees that you couldn’t see the sky. Now,miles of reddish-brown sand surround this village in northwestern Senegal,dotted with occasional bushes and trees.Dried animal dung is scattered everywhere,but hardly any dried grass is.Overgrazing and climate change are the major causes of the Sahara’s advance,said Gilles Boetsch,an anthropologist who directs a team of French scientists working with Senegalese researchers in the region.“The local Peul people are herders,often nomadic.But the pressure of the herds on the land has become too great,”Mr. Boetsch said in an interview.“The vegetation can’t regenerate itself.”Since2008,however,Senegal has been fighting back against the encroaching desert.Each year it has planted some two million seedling trees along a545-kilometer,or340-mile,ribbon of land that is the country’s segment of a major pan-African regeneration project,the Great Green Wall.First proposed in2005,the program links Senegal and10other Saharan states in an alliance to plant a15kilometer-wide,7,100-kilometer-long green belt to fend off the desert.While many countries have still to start on their sections of the barrier,Senegal has taken the lead,with the creation of a National Agency for the Great Green Wall.“This semi-arid region is becoming less and less habitable.We want to make it possible for people to continue to live here,”Col.Pap Sarr,the agency’s technical director,said in an interview here.Colonel Sarr has forged working alliances between Senegalese researchers and the French team headed by Mr.Boetsch,in fields as varied as soil microbiology,ecology,medicine and anthropology.“In Senegal we hope to experiment with different ways of doing things that will benefit the other countries as they become more active,”the colonel said. Each year since2008,from May to June,about400people are employed in eight nurseries,choosing and overseeing germination of seeds and tending the seedlings until they are ready for planting.In August,1,000 people are mobilized to plant out rows of seedlings,about2million plants,allowing them a full two months of the rainy season to take root before the long,dry season sets in.After their first dry season,the saplings look dead,brown twigs sticking out of holes in the ground,but80 percent survive.Six years on,trees planted in2008are up to three meters,or10feet,tall.So far,30,000hectares, or about75,000acres,have been planted,including4,000hectares this summer.There are already discernible impacts on the microclimate,said Jean-Luc Peiry,a physical geography professor at the UniversitéBlaise Pascal in Clermont-Ferrand,France,who has placed30sensors to record temperatures in some planted parcels.“Preliminary results show that clumps of four to eight small trees can have an important impact on temperature,”Professor Peiry said in an interview.“The transpiration of the trees creates a microclimate that moderates daily temperature extremes.”“The trees also have an important role in slowing the soil erosion caused by the wind,reducing the dust,and acting like a large rough doormat,halting the sand-laden winds from the Sahara,”he added.Wildlife is responding to the changes.“Migratory birds are reappearing,”Mr. Boetsch said.The project uses eight groundwater pumping stations built in1954,before Senegal achieved its independence from France in1960.The pumps fill giant basins that provide water for animals,tree nurseries and gardens wherefruit and vegetables are grown.Section2:Chinese-English Translation(50points)Translate the following passage into English.健康是促进人的全面发展的必然要求。

2015年5月北京地区英语三级考试精彩试题及问题详解

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2015.05.09Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D, You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Babies who are breast-fed may be more likely to be successful in life, a new study published Tuesday suggests. The study followed more than 3,000 babies into adulthood in Brazil. The researchers found those who were breast-fed scored slightly higher in intelligence tests in their 30s, stayed in school longer and earned more money than those who were given formula(配方奶粉).“Breast-feeding not only has short-term benefits, but also breast-feeding has long-term benefits, "says Bernardo Lessa Horta of the Federal University of Pelotas in Brazil, who led the study being published in The Lancet Global Health.(76) Doctors have long known that breast-feeding can be good for a baby’s health. This is especially true in poor countries, where water can be contaminated. For instance, a baby given formula in developing countries is 14 times more likely to die in the first six months than one who’s breast-fed. In the U.S., some research has suggested that breast-feeding may raise a baby’s IQ(智商)by a few points. But a recent study with siblings(兄弟姐妹)found little advantage to breast-feeding.Horta says these previous studies didn’t follow children into adulthood to see if breast-feeding had long-term effects. So Horta analyzed data collected from 3,493 volunteers he and his colleagues have been following since birth. They are now in their 30s. First, the researchers gave the subjects IQ tests. Those who were breast-fed for 12 months or more had IQ test scores that were 3.76 points higher than those who were breast-fed for less than one month, the team found.When Horta and his colleagues looked at how much education the subjects had gotten and how much money they were making, they also found a clear difference: Those who were breast-fed the longest stayed in school for about an extra year and had monthly salaries that were about a third higher.1. From the passage, we learn that Horta_______________ .A. is from BrazilB. conducts his research in the U.S.C. has 30 researchers on his teamD. is well-known in developing countries2. Which of the following about those who were breast-fed is NOT mentioned?A. They stayed longer in schoolB. They were happierC. They were smarterD. They made more money3. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Doctors don’t understand the benefits of breast-feeding.B. Horta is concerned with water contamination in poor countries.C. Horta’s research project lasted about 30 yearsD. Breast-feeding is the only way to improve a baby’s health4. The word contaminated in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to____.A. finishedB. interestedC. clearedD. polluted5. Which of the following is an appropriate title for this passage?A. Researchers Have Pointed Out the Disadvantages of Breast-feedingB. Researchers Have Found Out the Shortcomings of FormulaC. Breast-feeding Improves Chances of SuccessD. Breast-feeding Benefits Both Mother and BabyPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Maggie Walker was born in 1867 in Richmond, Virginia. Her mother was once a slave in a rich woman’s house. When Maggie was very young, a thief killed her father. Her family was impoverished, so Maggie's mother started doing laundry in her home.Maggie had to help her. She washed clothes every day, but she continued to go to school. She was a very good student, especially in math.After Maggie graduated from high school, she got a job as a teacher. In 1886, she married Armistead Walker. They had two sons and Maggie stayed home to care for them. She also volunteered to help a social organization called the Order of St. Luke. This organization helped African Americans take care of the sick and bury the dead. Maggie Walker loved the work of the organization. The organization believed that African Americans should take care of each other.Over the years, Maggie Walker had more and more responsibilities with the organization. In 1895, she suggested that St. Luke begin a program for young people.(77) This program became very popular with schoolchildren. In 1899, Walk became Grand Secretary Treasurer of the St. Luke organization. However, because she was a woman, she received less than half the salary of the man who had the job before her.The Order of St. Luke had a lot of financial difficulties when Walker took over. It had a lot of unpaid bills and only $31.61 in the bank. But soon Maggie Walker changed all of that. (78) Her idea was to get new members to join the Organization. In just a few years, it grew from 3,400 members to 50,000 members. The organization bought a $100,000 office building and increased its staff to 55. Now Walker was ready for her next big step.6. Maggie’s father died____________.A. when she finished high schoolB. before she was bornC. when she was very youngD. after she got married7. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?A. Maggie had two children.B. Maggie was once a slave.C. Maggie was good at math.D. Maggie taught for a while.8. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Maggie loved to help other African Americans.B. Maggie was very popular with school teachers.C. Maggie was the founder of the Order of St. Luke.D. Maggie was better paid than men as Grand Secretary Treasurer.9. The word impoverished in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _______.A. difficultB. richC. famousD. poor10. After Paragraph 4, the author will probably talk about Maggie’s__________________A. educationB. next projectC. payD. childhoodPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:When Bill de Blasio ran for New York City mayor last year, he promised to end a controversial (有争议的), citywide cell-phone ban(禁令)in public schools, which is not equally enforced in all schools. Now, under his leadership, the city is preparing to end the ban. It will be replaced by a policy that allows phones inside schools but tells students to keep them packed away during class.Many schools have a rule about enforcing the ban that says, “If we don't see it, we don’t know about it.” That means teachers are OK with students bringing in cell phones, as long as they stay out of sight and inside bags and pockets.But at the 88 city schools with metal detectors, die ban has been strictly enforced. The detectors were installed to keep weapon out of schools,but the scanners (扫描器)can also detect cell phones. So students at these schools must leave their phones at home or pay someone to store it for them.The ban was put into place in 2007 under mayor Michael Bloomberg. Ending the ban will also likely end an industry that has sprung up near dozens of the schools that enforce the ban. Workers in vans(厢式货车)that resemble food tracks store teens’ cell phones and Other devices for a dollar a day,(79) Critics of the ban say cell phones are important safety devices for kids during an emergency. They also say that enforcement of the ban is uneven and discriminatory. Where the ban is enforced, it puts a disadvantage on students who can’t afford to pay to store their phones.Before putting an official end to the cell-phone ban, city education officials are working on creating a new policy. (80) It will include rules about not using the phones during class or to cheat on tests.11. Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?A. New York City will give financial aid to poor students.B. New York City plans to restrict cell phone use in libraries.C. New York City plans to install metal detectors in all public schools.D. New York City will soon end a ban on cell phones in schools.12. Students pay ______ a day to leave their cell phones in a van parked near their school.A. a dollarsB. two dollarsC. five dollarsD. ten dollars13. Metal detectors were installed in 88 city schools, mainly to keep _______ out of schools.A. cell phonesB. weaponsC. alcoholD. drugs14. The word discriminatory in Paragraph 5 probably means________.A. necessaryB. toughC. strictD. unfair15. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. After the cell-phone ban is ended, students can use their phones during class.B. The cell-phone ban is equally enforced in all public schools.C. The cell-phone ban was put into place in 2008 under Mayor Bill de Blasio.D. A phone-storage industry has appeared outside the 88 metal-detector campuses.Part II Vocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2016年5月、11月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译真题及答案

2016年5月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译真题及答案试题部分:Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese.LECCO, Italy — Each morning, about 450 students travel along 17 school bus routes to 10 elementary schools in this lakeside city at the southern tip of Lake Como. There are zero school buses.In 2003, to confront the triple threats of childhood obesity, local traffic jams and —most important —a rise in global greenhouse gases abetted by car emissions, an environmental group here proposed a retro-radical concept: children should walk to school.They set up a piedibus (literally foot-bus in Italian) —a bus route with a driver but no vehicle. Each morning a mix of paid staff members and parental volunteers in fluorescent yellow vests lead lines of walking students along Lecco’s twisting streets to the schools’ gates, Pied Piper-style, stopping here and there as their flock expands.At the Carducci School, 100 children, or more than half of the students, now take walking buses. Many of them were previously driven in cars. Giulio• Greppi, a 9-year-old with shaggy blond hair, said he had been driven about a third of a mile each way until he started taking the piedibus. “I get to see my friends and we feel special because we know it’s good for the environment,” he said.Although the routes are each generally less than a mile, the town’s piedibuses have so far eliminated more than 100,000 miles of car travel and, in principle, prevented thousands of tons of greenhouse gases from entering the air, Dario Pesenti, the town’s environment auditor, estimates.The number of children who are driven to school over all is rising in the United States and Europe, experts on both continents say, making up a sizable chunk of transportation’s contribution to greenhouse-gas emissions. The “school run” made up 18 percent of car trips by urban residents of Britain last year, a national survey showed.In 1969, 40 percent of students in the United States walked to school; in 2001, the most recent year data was collected, 13 percent did, according to the federal government’s National Household Travel Survey. Lecco’s walking bus was the first in Italy, but hundreds have cropped up elsewhere in Europe and, more recently, in North America to combat the trend.Towns in France, Britain and elsewhere in Italy have created such routes, although few are as extensive and long-lasting as Lecco’s.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (汉译英) Translate the following passage into English.全球气候变化深刻影响着人类生存和发展,是各国共同面临的重大挑战。

2006年5月人事部三级笔译真题第一部分英译汉Freed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle.In Bykovsky, a village of 457 on Russia's northeast coast, the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks of heating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet a year."It is practically all ice - permafrost - and it is thawing." For the four million people who live north of the Arctic Circle, a changing climate presents new opportunities. But it also threatens their environment, their homes and, for those whose traditions rely on the ice-bound wilderness, the preservation of their culture.A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. The discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry.Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing the United States to prepare to relocate several Inuit villages at a projected cost of $100 million or more for each one.Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding.In Finnmark, Norway's northernmost province, the Arctic landscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but for the cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of a snowmobile herding them.A changing Arctic is felt there, too. "The reindeer are becoming unhappy," said Issat Eira, a 31-year-old reindeer herder.Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving indigenous customs. The state has lavished its oil wealth on the region, and Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance.And yet no amount of government support can convince Mr. Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not about to change. Like a Texas cattleman, he keeps the size of his herd secret. But he said warmer temperatures in fall and spring were melting the top layers of snow, which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to dig through to the lichen they eat."The people who are making the decisions, they are living in the south and they are living in towns," said Mr. Eira, sitting inside his home made of reindeer hides. "They don't mark the change of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources from nature who mark it."A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries itsown rewards and dangers for people in the region. The discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry.第二部分汉译英维护世界和平,促进共同发展,谋求合作共赢,是各国人民的共同愿望,也是不可抗拒的当今时代潮流。

2015年5月翻译资格考试二级笔译实务真题及答案Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following two passages into Chinese.Passage 1Early Maori adapted the tropically based east Polynesian culture in line with the challenges associated with a larger and more diverse environment, eventually developing their own distinctive culture.The British and Irish immigrants brought aspects of their own culture to New Zealand and also influenced Maori culture. More recently American, Australian, Asian and other European cultures have exerted influence on New Zealand.New Zealand music has been influenced by blues, jazz, country, rock and roll and hip hop, with many of these genres given a unique New Zealand interpretation. Maori developed traditional chants and songs from their ancient South-East Asian origins, and after centuries of isolation created a unique “monotonous” and “doleful”sound.The number of New Zealand films significantly increased during the 1970s. In 1978 the New Zealand Film Commission started assisting local film-makers and many films attained a world audience, some receiving international acknowledgement.New Zealand television primarily broadcasts American and British programming, along with a large number of Australian and local shows. The country’s diverse scenery and compact size, plus government incentives, have encouraged some producers to film big budget movies in New Zealand.The Ministry for Culture and Heritage is government’s leading adviser on cultural matters. The Ministry funds, monitors and supports a range of cultural agencies and delivers a range of high-quality cultural products and services.The Ministry provides advice to government on where to focus its interventions in the cultural sector. It seeks to ensure that funding is invested as effectively and efficiently as possible, and that government priorities are met.The Ministry has a strong track record of delivering high-quality publications, managing significant heritage and commemorations, and acting as guardian of New Zealand’s culture. The Ministry’s work prioritizes cultural outcomes and also supports educational, economic and social outcomes, linking with the work of a range of other government agenciesPassage 2Along a rugged, wide North Sea beach here on a recent day, children formed teams of eight to 10, taking their places beside mounds of sand carefully cordoned by tape. They had one hour for their sand castle competition. Some built fishlike structures, complete with scales. Others spent their time on elaborate ditch and dike labyrinths. Each castle was adorned on top with a white flag.Then they watched the sea invade and devour their work, seeing whose castle could withstand the tide longest. The last standing flag won.Theirs was no ordinary day at the beach, but a newly minted, state-sanctioned competition for schoolchildren to raise awareness of the dangers of rising sea levels in a country of precarious geography that has provided lessons for the world about water management, but that fears that its next generation will grow complacent. Fifty-five percent of the Netherlands is either below sea level or heavily flood-prone. Yet thanks to its renowned expertise and large water management budget (about 1.25 percent of gross domestic product), the Netherlands has averted catastrophe since a flooding disaster in 1953.Experts here say that they now worry that the famed Dutch water management system actually works too well and that citizens will begin to take for granted the nation’s success in staying dry. As global climate change threatens to raise sea levels by as much as four feet by the end of the century, the authorities here are working to make real to children the forecasts that may seem far-off, but that will shape their lives in adulthood and old age.“Everything works so smoothly that people don’t realize anymore that they are taking a risk in developing urban areas in low-lying areas,” said Hafkenscheid, the lead organizer of the competition and a water expert with the Foreign Ministry. Before the competition, the children, ages 6 to 11, were coached by experts in dike building and water management. Volunteers stood by, many of them freshly graduated civil engineers, giving last-minute advice on how best to battle the rising water.A recently released report by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on water management in the Netherlands pointed to an “awareness gap”among Dutch citizens. The finding did much to get the sand castle contest off the ground.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (50 points)Translate the following two passages into English.Passage 1改革开放30多年来,西藏通过深化改革和扩大开放积极推动全区商业、对外贸易和旅游产业加快发展,不仅增强了与内地的交流,同时也加强了与世界的联系和合作。

考试感想:综合:可以看出我两次综合成绩都不高,大部分人都会上70,80+的也大有人在,所以我这个综合可以说是非常差了。

这里总结教训就是三个字:背单词!!!我之前是个不爱背单词的人,一般都凭着平时多看,然后看熟了自然就记住了,这种方法应对高考还有四六级什么的问题都不大,但是去年底考三笔的时候,我看着综合卷子真的欲哭无泪,选择题有几道中四个选项我一个都不认识,或者是眼熟但是搞不清意思,这就跟不认识是一样的。

所以去年底考完三笔我痛下决心,当天晚上就开始背单词。

背单词这事我是真的不喜欢,所以没有买单词书,因为我知道我买了肯定也不看,所以就下了APP背单词。

我曾经用过拓词,感觉界面很简洁,非常不错,后来开始用百词斩,算是比较有特色的APP,也还不错。

The time for this section is 75 minute.Questions 51-56 are based on the following passage.Awardedthe Nobel Prize for physics in 1918, German physicist Max Planck is bestremembered as the originator of the quantum theory. His work helped usher in anew era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific community’sunderstanding of atomic and subatomic processes.Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to highfrequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later calledquantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals hv. The constant,h, is known as Planck’s constant. It is now recognized as one of the fundamental constants of the world.Planck announced his findings in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, physical chemistry, among other fields.51.In which of the following fields did Max Planck not makea significantcontribution?A.Optics.B. Thermodynamics.C. Statistical mechanics.D. Biology.52.The word “revolutionary” as used in line 16 means .A.radicalB. extremistC. momentousD. militaristic53.It can be inferred from the passage that Planck’s work led to the developmentof which of the following?A.The rocket.B. The atomic bomb.C. The internal combustion engine.D. The computer.54.The particles of electromagnetic radiation given off by matter are known as .A.quantumsB. atomsC. electronsD. valences55.The implication in this passage is that .A.only a German physicist could discover such a theoryB.quantum theory, which led to the development of twentieth century physics, is basically a mathematical formulaC.Planck’s constant was not discernible before 1900D.radiation was hard to study56.“An idea” as used in line 5, refers to .A.a model of matterB.emission of electromagnetic radiationC.quantumsD.the equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over therange of low to high frequenciesQuestions 57-62are based on the following passage.There has been much speculation about the origin of baseball. In 1907 a special commission decided that themodern game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter ofrecord that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called “baseball”.Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first the American game had different rules and differentnames in various parts of the country —“town ball”, “rounders”, or “one oldcat”. Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of thegame.Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York City. The rulesCartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs and formed the basis of modern baseball. The game was played on a “diamond” infieldwith the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the winner. By 1858 the National Association of Baseball Players was formed with 25 amateur teams.The Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.57.Which of the following is true about the origins of baseball?A.Historians agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.B.Baseball, as played in the early 19th century, differed verylittle fromtoday’s game.C.As early as the 1700s, English boys played a game called “baseball.”D.The first standard set of baseball rules was established at the turn ofthe century.58.What was the first professional baseball team called?A.New York Knickerbockers.B. MilwaukeeBraves.C. Cincinnati Red Stockings.D. Brooklyn Dodgers.59.Who first gave baseball a standard set of rules?A.Abner Doubleday.B. AlexanderCartwright.C. Albert Spalding.D. Babe Ruth.60.Which of the following was not a predecessor of baseball?A.Rounders.B. Town ball.C. Cricket.D. One old cat.61.The tone of the passage is .A.persuasiveB. informativeC. biasedD. argumentative62. The passage implies that until 1869, baseball was played for all of the following reasonsexcept .A.exerciseB. leisureC. profitD. socializingQuestions 63-68are based on the following passage.Theblue of the sea is caused by the scattering of sunlight by tiny particlessuspended in the water. Blue light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more efficiently than light of longer wavelengths. Althoughwaters of the open ocean are commonly some shade of blue, green water iscommonly seen near coasts, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. Thisis caused by yellow pigments being mixed with blue water. Phytoplankton are onesource of the yellow pigment. Other microscopic plants may color the waterbrown or brownish-red. Near the shore, silt or sediment in suspension can give water a brownish hue. Outflow of large rivers can often be observed many miles offshore by thecoloration of suspendedsoil particles.Marine phytoplankton (Greek for “plant wanderers”) are microscopic single-celled plants that include diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, green algae, and blue-green algae, among others. The growth of these organisms, whichphotosynthesize light, depends on a delicate balance of nutrient enrichment via vertical mixing, which is often limited by the availability of nitrogen and light. Diatoms are one-celled plants with patterned glass coverings. Each glass, or silicon dioxide box, is ornamented with species-specific designs, pits, and perforations making them popular with microscopists and, morerecently, electron scanning microscopists.63.Green water near coastlines is almost always caused by .A.sand colorB.red pigments in coastal watersC.blue pigmentD.reflected light and yellow pigment from plant life64.Phytoplankton are the source of which color pigment?A.Red.B. Green.C. Yellow.D. Blue.65.What can give waters a brownish hue near the shore?A.Sediment.B. Phytoplankton.C. Blue pigment.D. Diatoms.66.Which of the following is not a type of phytoplankton?A.Green algae.B. Diatoms.C. Blue-green algae.D. Amoeba.67.The growth of phytoplankton is often limited by the availability of .A.oxygenB. hydrogenC. nitrogenD. carbon dioxide68.The main idea of this passage is that .A.light causes sea colorB.sea coloration is varied because of a combination of length of light waves and microscopic plant life and siltC.microscopic plant life causes sea colorD.water composition causes sea colorQuestions 69-75are based on the following passage.The United States government publishes guidelines for appropriate nutrient intakes. These are known as the RecommendedDietary Allowances (RDAs) and are updated regularly based on new research in nutrition. RDAs are suggested amounts of calories, protein, and some minerals and vitamins for an adequate diet. For other dietary substances, specific goals must await further research. However, forthe U.S. population as a whole, increa sing starch and fiber in one’s diet andreducing calories (primarily from fats, sugar, and alcohol) is sensible. These suggestions are especially appropriate forpeople who have other factors for chronic diseases due to family history of obesity, premature heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, or for those who usetobacco.Snacks can furnish about one-fourth of the calorie requirements among teenagers. Those snacks should also provide much of the day’s allowances for protein, minerals, and vitamins. Sandwiches, fruit, and milk make good snacksfor active teenagers. Food from the food pyramid may be part of any meal.A grilled cheese sandwich or a bowl of whole-grain cereal is just as nutritious in the morning as it is at noon.In addition, a good breakfast consists of any foods that supply aboutone-fourth of the necessary nutrients for the day.69. The passage directly states that most of the U.S. population should increase their intake of .A.proteinB. fatsC. starch and fiberD. sandwiches70.A good breakfast should supply about what percentage of the necessary nutrientsfor the day?A.One-half.B. One-third.C. One-fourth.D. Less than one-fourth.71.The passage implies which of the following?A.The time of day when food is consumed affects its nutritive value.B.Different foods can be combined to increase total nutrition value.C.It can be detrimental to your health to eat breakfast foods later in the day.D.When food is eaten has no bearing on its nutritive effects.72.Why are RDAs regularly updated?A.New discoveries in the science of nutrition are constantly being made.B.Americans’ diets are constantly changing.C.As people age, their nutritional needs change.D.Very little is currently known about nutrition.73.In this passage RDAs refers to .A.types of vitaminsB. types of proteinC. types of mineralsD. amounts of energy, protein, vitamins, andminerals74.One implication in this passage is that .A.all RDAs have been establishedB.not all RDAs have been established yetC.it’s not important to know RDAsD.RDAs are necessary only for sick people75.The reduction of calories in the diet is particularly good for people whosuffer from .A.obesityB.premature heart disease and diabetesC.high blood pressure and cholesterol levelsD.all of the aboveQuestions 76-81are based on the following passage.The most popular organic gem is the pearl. A pearl is the response of a marine mollusk to the presence of an irritating impurity accidentally introduced into its body; a cultured pearl is the result of the intentional insertion of a mother-of-pearl bead into a live mollusk. Whether introduced accidentally or intentionally, the pearl-making process is the same: the mollusk coats the irritant with a substance called nacre. Nacre is composed chiefly of calcium carbonate. Because very few natural pearls are now on the market, most pearls used in fine jewelry are cultured. These include “Biwa” pearls and most other freshwater pearls. Cultured pearls are not easily distinguished from natural pearlsexcept by an expert.76.

5月英语翻译(CATTI)三级真题:笔译翻译Stonehenge, England —The prehistoric monument of Stonehenge stands tall in the British countryside as one of the last remnants of the Neolithic Age. Recently it has also become the latest symbol of another era: the new fiscal austerity.Renovations — including a plan to replace the site’s run-down visitors center with one almost five times bigger and to close a busy road that runs along the 5,000-year-old monument —had to be mothballed in June. The British government had suddenly withdrawn £10 million, or $16 million, in financing for the project as part of a budget squeeze.Stonehenge, once a temple with giant stone slabs aligned in a circle to mark the passage of the sun, is among the most prominent victims of the government’s spending cuts. The decision was heavily criticized by local lawmakers, especially because Stonehenge, a UnescoWorld Heritage site, was part of London’s successful bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games.The shabby visitors center there now is already too small for the 950,000 people who visit Stonehenge each year, let alone the additional onslaught of tourists expected for the Games, the lawmakers say.Stonehenge is the busiest tourist attraction in Britain’s southwest, topping even Windsor Castle. But no major improvements have been made to the facilities there since they were built 40 years ago.For now, portable toilets lead from a crammed parking lot, via a makeshift souvenir shop in a tent, to a ticket office opposite a small kiosk that sells coffee and snacks.The overhaul was scheduled for next spring. Plans by the architectural firm Denton Corker Marshall would keep the stone monument itself unchanged. But the currentticket office and shop would be demolished and a new visitors center would be built on the other side of the monument, about two and a half kilometers, or 1.5 miles, from the stones.The center would include a shop almost five times the size of the current one, a proper restaurant, three times as many parking spots and an exhibition space to provide more information about Stonehenge’s history.A transit system would shuttle visitors between the center and the stones while footpaths would encourage tourists to walk to the monument and explore the surrounding burial hills. The closed road would be grassed over to improve the surrounding landscape.Last year, the £27 million project won the backing of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. After more than 25 years of bickering with local communities about how and where to build the new center, planning permission was granted in January. Construction was supposed to start next year and be completed in time for the Olympics — but the economic downturn has changed those plans.The new prime minister, David Cameron, has reversed many of his predecessor’s promises as part of a program to cut more than £99 billion annually over the next five years to help close a gaping budget deficit. The financing for Stonehenge fell in the first round of cuts, worth about £6.2 billion, from the budget for the current year, along with support for a hospital and the British Film Institute.English Heritage, a partly government-financed organization that owns Stonehenge and more than 400 other historic sites in the country, is now aggressively looking for private donations. But the economic downturn has made the endeavor more difficult.Hunched over architectural renderings of the new center, Loraine Knowles, Stonehenge’s project director, said she was disappointed that the government hadwithdrawn money while continuing to support museums in London, like the Tate and the British Museum. But Ms. Knowles said she was hopeful that English Heritage could raise the money elsewhere. Stonehenge, she said, could then also become “a shining example of how philanthropy could w ork.”。

2015汉译英catti3英译汉翻译实务真题和答案.

天柱县位于贵州省东部,是川渝黔通两广、江浙的重要门户,素有“黔东第一关”、“中国重晶石之乡”、“贵州高原黄金城”之称。

”.天柱县总面积2201平方公里,辖16个乡镇,326个行政村,总人口41万余人,以侗、苗族为主的少数民族人口占98.3%, 是贵州省少数民族比例最多的县份之一。

天柱蕴藏着丰富的自然资源。

气候温和,土壤肥沃,是贵州重要粮食生产基地,享有“黔东粮仓”的美誉。

当地年产烟叶2.6万担(一担=50公斤,是中国烟叶主产区。

这里林业资源丰富,森林面积达185万亩(一亩=1/15公顷,覆盖率达56%,是贵州十大林业基地县之一。

重晶石、黄金、煤等矿产资源也十分丰富。

天柱乘西部大开发的东风,迅速崛起。

全县国民经济稳步发展,综合实力日益增长,人民生活水平在不断提高,产业结构调整日趋优化,基础设施建设得以加强,城镇面貌日新月异。

“生态环境优美,文化教育优越,综合服务优化,人居条件优良,经济充满活力”的新天柱呈现在世人面前。

此次的汉译英语段命题与以往有些不同,以前都是时政语段或企业介绍,如今的命题有所变化。

该文是一篇说明文,介绍了贵州天柱县丰富的自然资源。

但不论怎么变化,万变不离其宗,我们在翻译课上所讲的内容完全可以应用到该语篇的翻译中去。

下面我们来看看此篇文章是怎样运用我们所学的知识和技巧的吧。

文章的第一段正是我们在翻译课上反复强调的7大成分不做主句处理的一个典型实例。

我们着重讲授了如下7个成分一般情况下不在英语句子中充当主要句子成分,而是处理为附带或次要成分,这样才能够将英语的语句处理得错落有致,层次分明。

7大成分包括:历史,文化,人口,地理位置,创建时间,占地面积以及对主语的基本界定。

第一段中涉及“地理位置”,“对主语的基本界定”。

按照我们所讲的方法,把地理位置放在句首作为独立结构,然后出现主语,再连接对主语的基本界定,即同位语短语,最后是主句。

Located in eastern Guizhou Province, Tianzhu County, an important gateway to Provinces of Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang from Sichuan Province, Chongqing and Guizhou Province, is known to the world as “the First Pass in Ea stern Guizhou”, “the Land of Barite in China” and “the Gold Town on the Guizhou Plateau.”文章的第二段出现了7大成分中的“占地面积”和“人口”,因此,我们把该段的语序适当调整一下,先译“占地面积”,然后出现主语,后面紧跟同位语,即对主语的基本界定,最后是主句。

2016年5月全国翻译专业资格(水平)考试英语三级《笔译实务》试卷Section1:English-Chinese Translation(50points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.Old people in Thiengoly say they can remember when there were so many trees that you couldn’t see the sky. Now,miles of reddish-brown sand surround this village in northwestern Senegal,dotted with occasional bushes and trees.Dried animal dung is scattered everywhere,but hardly any dried grass is.Overgrazing and climate change are the major causes of the Sahara’s advance,said Gilles Boetsch,an anthropologist who directs a team of French scientists working with Senegalese researchers in the region.“The local Peul people are herders,often nomadic.But the pressure of the herds on the land has become too great,”Mr. Boetsch said in an interview.“The vegetation can’t regenerate itself.”Since2008,however,Senegal has been fighting back against the encroaching desert.Each year it has planted some two million seedling trees along a545-kilometer,or340-mile,ribbon of land that is the country’s segment of a major pan-African regeneration project,the Great Green Wall.First proposed in2005,the program links Senegal and10other Saharan states in an alliance to plant a15kilometer-wide,7,100-kilometer-long green belt to fend off the desert.While many countries have still to start on their sections of the barrier,Senegal has taken the lead,with the creation of a National Agency for the Great Green Wall.“This semi-arid region is becoming less and less habitable.We want to make it possible for people to continue to live here,”Col.Pap Sarr,the agency’s technical director,said in an interview here.Colonel Sarr has forged working alliances between Senegalese researchers and the French team headed by Mr.Boetsch,in fields as varied as soil microbiology,ecology,medicine and anthropology.“In Senegal we hope to experiment with different ways of doing things that will benefit the other countries as they become more active,”the colonel said. Each year since2008,from May to June,about400people are employed in eight nurseries,choosing and overseeing germination of seeds and tending the seedlings until they are ready for planting.In August,1,000 people are mobilized to plant out rows of seedlings,about2million plants,allowing them a full two months of the rainy season to take root before the long,dry season sets in.After their first dry season,the saplings look dead,brown twigs sticking out of holes in the ground,but80 percent survive.Six years on,trees planted in2008are up to three meters,or10feet,tall.So far,30,000hectares, or about75,000acres,have been planted,including4,000hectares this summer.There are already discernible impacts on the microclimate,said Jean-Luc Peiry,a physical geography professor at the UniversitéBlaise Pascal in Clermont-Ferrand,France,who has placed30sensors to record temperatures in some planted parcels.“Preliminary results show that clumps of four to eight small trees can have an important impact on temperature,”Professor Peiry said in an interview.“The transpiration of the trees creates a microclimate that moderates daily temperature extremes.”“The trees also have an important role in slowing the soil erosion caused by the wind,reducing the dust,and acting like a large rough doormat,halting the sand-laden winds from the Sahara,”he added.Wildlife is responding to the changes.“Migratory birds are reappearing,”Mr. Boetsch said.The project uses eight groundwater pumping stations built in1954,before Senegal achieved its independence from France in1960.The pumps fill giant basins that provide water for animals,tree nurseries and gardens wherefruit and vegetables are grown.Section2:Chinese-English Translation(50points)Translate the following passage into English.健康是促进人的全面发展的必然要求。

Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparingto take business elsewhere.由于能源公司纷纷弃用煤炭,转而使用更清洁、更廉价的天然气,小镇的人们越来越害怕,他们的家园可能很快就会人去楼空。

卡本电厂的几十名工人早就意识到,他们要么提前退休,要么另谋职业。

当地的货运和装配人员正准备开发外地的业务。

“Thereare a lot of people worried,” said Kyle Davis, who has been employed at theplant since he was 18.凯尔戴维斯从18岁起,一直在卡本电厂工作。

他说:“很多人都在担忧。

”Mr. Davis, 56,worked his way up from sweeping floors to managing operations at the plant,whose furnaces have been burning since 1954.戴维斯先生今年56岁,从清洁工人一直做到电厂的经营主管。

卡本电厂的高炉从1954年开工,一直燃烧至今。

“I would have liked to be here for another five years,” he said. “I’m too young toretire.” 他说:“如果可能,我还想再工作五年。

毕竟我还很年轻,没到退休年龄。

”But Rocky Mountain Power, the utility that operates the plant, has determined that it would be too expensive to retrofit the aging plant to meet new federalstandards on mercury emissions. The plant is scheduled to be shut by April2015.公共事业公司落基山电力公司是卡本电厂的经营者,公司已经决定,要达到联邦政府最新规定的水银排放标准,就必须改造日趋老化的电厂,而改造费用实在是太贵了,并不可行。

电厂计划在2015年4月关闭。

“We hadbeen working for the better part of three years, testing compliancestrategies,” said David Eskelsen, a spokesman for the utility. “None of theones we investigated really would produce the results that would meet the requirements.”大卫艾斯凯尔森是电力公司的发言人。

他说:“三年来,我们一直在不断地努力改善,尝试各种合规策略。

经过调查,这些策略都不能满足政府的要求。

”For thelast several years, coal plants have been shutting down across the country,driven by tougher environmental regulations, flattening electricity demand anda move by utilities toward natural gas.近年来,政府的环境保护条例愈加苛刻,人们用电的需求量逐渐下滑,加之公共事业公司打算向天然气转型,美国境内已经有数家燃煤电厂被迫关闭。

Thismonth, the board of directors of the Tennessee Valley Authority, the country’slargest public power utility, voted to shut eight coal-powered plants inAlabama and Kentucky and partly replace them with gas-fired power. Since 2010,more than150 coal plants have been closed or scheduled for retirement.田纳西河流域管理局是美国最大的公共电力公司。

本月,其董事会投票表决,关闭位于阿拉巴马州和肯塔基州的八家燃煤电厂,部分电厂转成天然气电厂。

2010年起,150多家燃煤电厂有的已经关闭,有的即将关闭。

TheEnvironmental Protection Agency estimates that the stricter emissionsregulations for the plants will result in billions of dollars in related healthsavings, and will have asweeping impact on air quality.美国环保局估计,这些针对燃煤电厂制定的更为严格的排放管理条例将节省数十亿美元的健康储蓄金,明显改善空气质量。

In recentweeks, the agency held 11 “listening sessions” aroun d the country in advance ofproposing additional rules for carbon dioxide emissions.二氧化碳排放的补充条款颁布之前,美国环保局近几周来在全国范围内召开了11场“听证会”。

“Coalplants are the single largest source of dangerous carbon pollution in theUnited States, and第2 / 4页we have ready alternati ves like wind and solar to replacethem,” said Bruce Nilles, director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign,which wants to shut all of the nation’s coal plants.布鲁斯尼尔斯是塞拉俱乐部“超越煤炭”活动的负责人,该行动旨在关闭美国所有的燃煤电厂。
