高级口译经验贴

高级口译经验贴Newly compiled on November 23, 2020一、本文所做，不敢自我表扬，只盼各位阅文有感，并从中有所收获；若能发现问题并加以指正，不吝赐教，余当感激涕零。

当里个当，闲言少叙，接下来听俺说端详。

鄙人首先要说明一点，你想做什么，得给自己确立信心，要是没有信心，那就已经失败一半了。

尤其是对于当代大学生来说，没有信心就是没有成功，因为没有信心你就不敢做。

我这个人从高中起就给自己弄了个名言：“别这么颓废，干点嘛。

”看别人在那里玩来玩去的我心里很不舒服，但是我自己其实也非常贪玩。

有时候在图书馆看书学习什么的看不下去了，就回宿舍玩电脑，而且经常玩到半夜两点左右，然后早上六点爬起来去学习。

现在想来，自己大一大二成绩没有提高就是因为玩这个习惯没有撇掉……其实不能说撇掉，毕竟人生在世就应该快乐一点，但是我却玩得有点过火，于是我连专四都没过。

在备考专四的过程中，我还整天消沉，浑浑噩噩，最后考专四的时候听力理解是在半睡半醒中听完的，基本听不懂。

后来大二结束，暑假回家，心中还是不服气，于是一狠心回了学校，在武汉的热浪中过了激情英语的两个月。

总算有点收获吧，我听完了一本何其莘教授编写的Listen toThis 1，背了四十篇新概念英语3的课文，看了几遍专四单词，再加上以前因为语法问题太懊恼看过几遍语法教程，所以这两个月收获还是挺大的，最起码我现在敢张嘴说英语了。

而且在这期间，我还看到了一些关于翻译培训的信息，心里忽然一下子就敞亮起来了，因为专业既然是英语，咱们干嘛不把专业弄个牛逼出来呢于是我就报名参加了一个口译培训班。

我这人就是做事情了就不喜欢别人多嘴，一来是怕关心我的人对我说什么，二来是不喜欢有些人在那里什么也不明白就瞎说。

当时我在报名口译的时候，有个人看到我桌上的口译材料，就问我：“你在学口译了啊”我说是。

他就很牛逼很渊博地来了一句：“笔译还不行呢，还学什么口译！”当时我只是笑了笑，没说什么，因为这种人你是和他没道理可讲的，他还会破坏你的心情，干脆敬而远之。

2012年9月高级口译听力Note-takingandGap-filling原文

2012年9月高级口译听力Note-takingandGap-filling原文Hello, I'm Anna Jones and I have been invited to talk in this programme about London life. And in today’s programme we’re looking at a very English custom - the custom of tea-taking. I think the whole art of tea-taking is a very elegant and a very English thing to do. This whole ambience of tea-taking makes you be elegant.I am the director of press and public relations at the Ritz hotel in central London. The Ritz hotel is one of the most famous hotels in London and is celebrating its centenary. It opened 105 years ago in 1906. The Ritz is especially well known for its wonderful teas but taking tea at the Ritz is not an everyday event –it’s usually reserved for a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary. Tea is served in the beautiful surroundings of the Palm Court. Displays of flowers and palms add to the experience of tea-taking. The whole character or quality of the Ritz makes you feel elegant. It makes you feel attractive and you behave in a very graceful way. And it’s not just a cup of tea either –it’s almost like having a 3 course meal.The actual food items on the tea menu come on a three-tiered cake stand. The bottom being the finger sandwiches – very traditional – and the waiter will explain what the fillings are. Then we do our scones in the middle and we do our cakes and pastries on the top. It’s done almost like courses.Well, we say that the food arrives on a “three-tiered cake stand - there are three levels, one on top of each other and on each level there’s a plate for holding the food. And what food is there? There are finger sandwiches –these are smallsandwiches filled with a variety of different things. This kind of s andwich is “very traditional” –it’s something that has been going on in the same way for a very long time –so finger sandwiches have been a part of the traditional English afternoon-tea for a long time. In the middle of the tier there are scones which are small round cakes which are often eaten with jam and cream which is known as a cream tea. And finally, at the top of the tier there are various cakes and sweet pastries.People say that tea is its almost done like “courses” - a part of a meal which is served separately from the other parts of it. Now what about making the tea? How do you make a proper cup of English tea? What is the most important thing about making a cup of tea?The most crucial thing about tea-making is to make sure that the water is “piping” hot – it is very hot and has just boiled. Then after pouring the water onto the tea leaves you let the leaves “stew” or absorb the water to make the tea. If you hear someone talking about “stewed tea” they are describing tea that has been left too long in the tea pot before being poured and tastes strong and bitter.What about the milk? What is the tea making etiquette? What are the rules or socially accepted ways of adding the milk? Does it go in to the cup before the tea is poured or afterwards? Well at the Ritz the etiquette – or the accepted way – is to add the milk afterwards so that the guest can decide how strong or weak they would like their tea.Well as we mentioned earlier the Ritz is a very famous London hotel – so famous in fact that its name now appears in the dictionary as an adjective. What do you think it means? Even the name The Ritz has become generic in the dictionary, peopletalk about things being “ritzy” and even if something is not very ritzy or something is very ritzy and that all comes from the name. If something is described as “ritzy” it is expensive and fashionable –for example you might describe someone’s dress or car as ritzy. Well its 4 o clock now so it must be time for a cup of tea!【解析】这是上一篇以Afternoon tea at the Ritz为题的文章。

历年高口NTGF原文真题

2014年3月高级口译听力真题NTGF含解析Note Taking and Gap FillingGood afternoon, class. I want to start my lecture by telling you a story. Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela, who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a Chinese. One day as Consuela came to work, her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at her boss! Her boss was shocked. Well, he had given her the red envelope and the money because it was Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year, it is traditional to give money to young, single people for good luck. However, from Consuela’s point of view, he was an older man giving her money in an envelope, which meant that he was asking her for sexual favors. Naturally, she refused to take the money.Now, what does this story show us? It shows that an action can have totally opposite meanings in different cultures. Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior. And to illustrate my point today, I’m going to give examples from four areas. First, the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second, the way they use names and titles. Third, the way people eat. And finally, the way they exchange gifts.OK, let’s start with greeting customs—First of all, I’m sure you know that in the United States and in most western countries, greetings often involve some sort of touching, such as a handshake, a hug, or a kiss if people know each other very well. On the other hand, people from most Asian countriesdon’t usually feel as comfortable touching in public. Although handshakes between business people are common, many Japanese prefer a bow, while people from Thailand, normally hold their hands together in a kind of prayer position. So imagine how embarrassing it would be if an American was invited to someone’s home in Japan or Thailand and she tried to hug the host!Now, another behavior that differs from culture to culture is the use of names. Have you noticed that Americans ar e quick to use people’s first names even if they have just met. For instance, visitors to the United States are always surprised to hear employees speak to their bosses using first names. In contrast, people in most other cultures are more formal and prefer to be addressed as Mr. Brown or Mr. Honda, for example. In addition, in some countries, such as Italy or Korea, people like you to include their title orposition with their family names, especially if they’re university graduates or owners of a business.Now I want to look at eating customs. I’ll talk about the behaviors connected with eating that vary from culture to culture. One of these is the use of utensils. You probably know that people in many Asian cultures use chopsticks but in some countries i t’s customary to eat with your fingers. It’s important to be aware of different dining customs. Here is another example. In some cultures, eating everything on your plate is considered impolite. In Egypt and China, you should leave some food in your dish at the end of the meal. This is to show that your hosts were generous and gave you more than enough to eat. However, Americans generally consider a clean plate as a sign of satisfaction with the food.Finally, what I want to mention today is gift giving, which you may think is a universal custom and there is not much variation from culture to culture. But the rules of gift giving can be very complicated. In USA, if you’re invited to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or small item as a present. On the other hand, the Japanese give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone, such as a teacher or a doctor. In the Japanese culture, gift giving is a very ancient tradition and it has many detailed rules. Another interesting fact about gift giving is that many cultures have strict rules about gifts you should not give. For example, never give yellow flowers to people from Iran, which means you hate them!【评析】本文题材对考生来说并不陌生，是老生常谈的文化差异。

Use only information from the passage you have just read and write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.Questions 1～3A “Campaign for Real Braille” has been set up after pl ans to introduce capital letters intothe braille alphabet have split the blind community.The Braille Authority of the United Kingdom (BAUK) has announced that by 2000it is introducing capital letters into a code which has previously only used lower-case characters. Supporters say that it is necessary because of the increasing use of capitals as abbreviations,as well as their use in e-mail addresses. It will also bring the UK in line with otherEnglish-speaking countries.But opponents, such as Sara Morgan, the 25-year-old founder of the campaign, argue it will push up costs and make books more cumbersome. “There aren't many industries where they actively make costs go up,” she said. “What I think in particularly ironic, though, is the factthis is going to come in at the same time as the Disability Discrimination Act. So, just as we're asking restaurants to provide braille menus we're making it more expensive to do so.”Braille, devised by Louis Braille in the 19th century is based upon a system of six raiseddots arranged to represent each character in the alphabet and several short-form words. Around 12,000 people use braille in this country.BAUK said that it took the decision to go-ahead with plans to introduce capitals after a questionnaire completed by 1,200 braille readers showed that a majority was in favour of change.The secretary of BAUK, Stephen Phippen, said: “The reason the decision was made wason the basis of the questionnaire, answered by individual members, not on what BAUK thought.”Overall 46 per cent of people were in favour of introducing a capital letter sign wherever a capital letter appears in print and just under 30 per cent were against. Among the respondents classing themselves as visually impaired (those who have some ability to read by sight) it was more popular compared to those who can read braille only by touch.Ms Morgan said the figures showed “there wasn't even a majority”. But Mr. Phippen said:“Those in favour were more or less 50 per cent. Those against were roughly half that. So twice as many people are in favour as against.”A spokesman for the National Library for the Blind said a survey done by it in 1994/5found readers were not in favour. The results of the BAUK survey however convinced them, and a spokesman said the y would implement the change.“We recognise there are advantages and disadvantages and we shall be working with our readers to help them understand how this symbol will operate,” he said.The introduction of capital letters is projected to take place by the end of 1999.“There are pros and cons,” admits Mr. Phippen. “But it should be noted that we are theonly English speaking country which has not yet introduced capital letters and of all the other countries which have not one has regretted it and tried to move back.”However Ms Morgan added: “We are determined to fight it all the way. They have got tostop trampling over people's rights.”1. Give a brief introduction of Braille system.2. What is the major issue discussed in the passage?3. what can be learned from Mr. Phippen's talk?Questions 4～6Modern woman may be better educated, have a better job and earn more money than her grandmother ever dream of, but in one way he life remains the same—eight out of ten women still do the household chores.Only 1 per cent of men say they do the washing and ironing or decide what to have for dinner. The only area where average man is more likely to help out is with small repairs around the house.The report Social Focus on Women and Men, by the Office for National Statistics, foundthat attitudes to women working have changed drastically over the past decade. Whereas in 1987 more than half of men and 40 per cent of women agreed with the statement, “A husband's job is to earn the money, a wife's job is to look after th e home and family”, that view had halved among both sexes by 1994.The numbers agreeing strongly with the statement, “A job is all right but what mostwomen really want is a home and children”, had also halved from 15 pre cent to 7 per cent of men feeling that way and 12 per cent to5 per cent of women.Women's increased participation in the world of work has been one of the most striking features of recent decades. Nearly half of all women aged 55 to 59 have no qualifications. But their granddaughters are outperforming their male peers across the board, and from1989overtook boys at A-levels.Gender stereotypes persist at this level of education, however, with more than three-fifths of English entrants being female, wile a similar proportion of maths entrants are male. A greater number of boys take physics and chemistry whereas girls predominate in social sciences and history.The explosion in higher education means there was a 66 per cent increase in number offemale undergraduates and a 50 per cent increase in the number of male undergraduates between 1990-91 and 1995-96.Women are also making breakthroughs in specific are4as of employment. Women nowform a slight majority among new solicitors although they make up only one-third of all solicitors. Since 1984 the number of women in work has risen by 20 per cent to 10.5 million. But when it comes to pay, they still lag behind their male peers. Women earn on average 80per of what men do per hour. They are also far more likely to work part-time or with temporary contracts.Part of the reason for this is because women still take the main role in childcare, althoughthey are more likely to work than in the past. The number of mothers with children under five doubled between 1973 and 1996. And the number of women who return to work within nine to eleven months of the birth increased dramatically. In 1974, only 24 per cent of women returned in this period compared with 67 per cent in 1996.The relationship between the sexes has also seen changes. Seven in ten first marriages arenow preceded by cohabitation compared with only one in twenty first marriages in themid-1960s. Since 1992 women in their early thirties have been more likely to give birth than those in their early twenties, although the fertility rate is still highest among those aged 25 to 29.4. What is the theme of the passage?5. What are gender stereotypes? List the gender stereotypes at the level of higher education discussed in the passage.6. What are the major changes concerning the status of women in Britain?Questions 7～10A new form of cloning to provide every baby with an embryonic “twin”, from which spare body parts could be grown and life threatening diseases treated is expected to be approved within weeks by senior government advisers on medical ethics.If their report is accepted by ministers, it would mean that Britain—which 20 years ago pioneered the test tube baby and last year produced Dolly, the world's first cloned mammal—could be the first to clone a human embryo.A working party from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) and the Human Genetics Advisory Commission is expected to come down firmly against reproductive cloning, the process of replicating a living human being. It is expected to recommend government support of so called stem cells, stem cells, are extracted and used to grow spare parts, treat diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's or address the debilitating effects of cancer, strokes and heart attacks.Dr. Austin Smith, the scientist likely to be granted the first licence for the work, said thatwithin the next 12 years it would be routine for every baby to have an embryonic clone.“All it takes now is financial investment,” said Smith, director of Edinburgh University's centre for genome research. The crucial discovery of embryonic stem cells, from which skin, bone. muscles, nerves and vital organs grow, was made earlier this month by scientists in America.In a submission to the HFEA, Smith said that in order to isolate these cells it is only necessary for the embryo to develop in the laboratory for six days, well within the 14-day limit of current regulation.The cells would then be grown and manipulated to make anything from blood or brain cellsto tissue for repairing damaged organs and, ultimately, parts that could be transplanted without fear of the host body rejecting them.The development is likely to meet strong opposition from the church. Dr. Donald Bruce, creating an embryo in the knowledge that it would then be destroyed was “very disturbing” to most people.Father Paul Murray, secretary to the Catholic bishops joint bio-ethics committee, said that whatever the potential benefits, it should be regarded as “intrinsically evil” because the research depended on the use of foetal material.However, Professor Christine Gosden, professor of genetic medicine at Liverpool University, one of the four senior government advisers on the cloning sub-committee, said there would be no opportunity for abuse.For many years, patients with Parkinson's disease who did not respond to drugs have been treated with brain cells extracted from aborted foetuses, a practice approved by a committee led by the Rev Dr. John Polkinghorne, the prominent ethicist.Gosden said the arguments for the use of aborted foetal cells and therapeutic cloning were similar: “Before you have a disease, it is easy to say, ‘I would not use cells derived from a foetus’, but if you suffer from that disease, and that is your only hope, your approach can be quite different.”7. What is the new form of cloning discussed in the passage? What is the purpose of such cloning?8. Summarise the different views on baby cloning discussed in the passage.9. Explain the statement “All it takes now is financial investment.” (para.6)10. What is the significance of the discovery of embryonic stem cells?SECTION 6: TRANSLATION TEST (30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.十月的上海，阳光明媚，秋高气爽，来自35 个国家和地区的1300余名比赛选手参加了在沪举行的本世纪最后一届世界中学生运动会。

He has designed an artificial tree that passively soaks up carbon dioxide from the air using "leaves" that are 1,000 times more efficient than true leaves that use photosynthesis. "We don't need to expose the leaves to sunlight for photosynthesis like a real tree does," he explains. "So our leaves can be much more closely spaced and overlapped, even configured in a honeycomb formation to make them more efficient." The leaves look like sheets of papery plastic and are coated in a resin that contains sodium carbonate, which pulls carbon dioxide out of the air and stores it as a bicarbonate (baking soda) on the leaf. To remove the carbon dioxide, the leaves are rinsed in water vapor and can dry naturally in the wind, soaking up more carbon dioxide. He calculates that his tree can remove one ton of carbon dioxide a day. Ten million of these trees could remove 3.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide a year, equivalent to about 10% of our global annual carbon dioxide emissions. Our total emissions could be removed with 100 million trees, whereas we would need 1,000 times that in real trees to have the same effect. If the trees were mass-produced they would each initially cost around $20,000, just below the price of the average family car in the United States. And each would fit on a truck to be positioned at sites around the world. The great thing about the atmosphere is it's a good mixer, so carbon dioxide produced in an American city can be removed in Oman. The carbon dioxide from the process can be cooled and stored; however, many scientists are concerned that even if we did remove all our carbon dioxide, there isn't enough space to store it securely in saline aquifers or oil wells. But geologists are coming up with alternatives. For example, peridotite, which is a mixture of serpentine and olivine rock, is a great sucker of carbon dioxide, sealing the absorbed gas as stable magnesium carbonate mineral. In Oman alone, there is a mountain that contains some 30,000 cubic km of peridotite. Another option could be the basalt rock cliffs, which contain holes, solidified gas bubbles from the basalt's formation from volcanic lava flows millions of years ago. Pumping carbon dioxide into these ancient bubbles causes it to react to form stable limestone—calcium carbonate.These carbon dioxide absorption processes occur naturally, but on geological timescales. To speed up the reaction, scientists are experimenting with dissolving the gas in water first and then injecting it into the rocks under high pressures. However, Lackner thinks the gas is too useful to petrify. His idea is to use the carbon dioxide to make liquid fuels for transport vehicles. Carbon dioxide can react with water to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen—a combination known as syngas because it can be readily turned into hydrocarbon fuels such as methanol or diesel. The process requires an energy input, but this could be provided by renewable sources, such as wind energy. We have the technology to suck carbon dioxide out of the air, and keep it out, but whether it is economically viable is a different question. These trees would do the job for around $200 per ton of removed carbon dioxide, dropping to $30 a ton as the project is scaled up. At that price, which has been criticized as wildly optimistic, it starts to make economic sense for oil companies who would pay in the region of $100 per ton to use the gas in enhanced oil recovery. Ultimately, we have to decide whether the cost of the technology is socially worth the price, and that social price is likely to fall as climate change brings its own mounting costs. Economically too, if the price of carbon rises, then this could lead to two effects. Investing in air capture will likely be seen as an equivalent to "avoided emissions". And then it will become a worthy investment.填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：artificial）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：coated）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：rinsed）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：vapor）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：calculates）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：emissions）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：cooled）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：geologists）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：alternatives）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：sucker）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：option）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：cliffs）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：solidified）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：Pumping）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：stable）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：liquid）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：vehicles）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：viable）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：worth）解析：三、{{B}}B{{/B}}(总题数：1，分数：50.00)Today, I want to discuss underground water.

I'm sure they are still fresh in your mind. Right? So in today's environmental science class, I want to discuss a few other terms here, actually some ideas about how we manage our resources. Let's talk about what that means. If we take resources like water, now maybe we should get a little bit more specific here, back from more general cases and talk about underground water in particular. So hydro geologists have tried to figure out how much water can we take out from underground sources. That has been an important question. Let me ask you guys, how much water, based on what you know so far, could you take out of, say, an aquifer under the city. As much as what gets recharged? OK. So we wouldn't like to take out more than naturally comes into it. The implication is that, well, if you only take as much out as comes in, you're not going to deplete the amount of water that stores in there. Right? Wrong. But that's the principle. That's the idea behind how we manage our water supplies. It's called safe yield. Basically what this message says is that you can pump as much water out of the system as naturally recharges, as naturally flows back in. So this principle of safe yield is based on balancing what we take out with what gets recharged. But what it does is it ignores how much water naturally comes out of the system. In a natural system a certain amount of recharge comes in and a certain amount of water naturally flows out through springs, streams and lakes, and over the long term the amount that's stored in the aquifer doesn't really change much. It's balanced. Now humans come in and start taking water out of the system. How have we changed the equation? It's not balanced any more? Right. We take water out but water also naturally flows out. And the recharge rate doesn't change. So the result is we've reduced the amount of water that stores in the underground system. If you keep doing that long enough, if you pump as much water out as naturally comes in, gradually the underground water level will drop. And when that happens, they can't fix service water. How? Well, in underground systems there are natural discharge points, places where the water flows out from the underground systems, out of lakes and streams. Well, a drop of water level can mean thosedischarge points will eventually dry up, and that means water's not getting to lakes and streams that depend on it. So we end up reducing the surface water supply, too. You know, in the state of Arizona, we're managing some major water supplies with the principle of safe yield and under this method they will eventually dry up the natural discharge points of those aquifer systems. Now, why is this issue? Well, aren't some of you going to want to live in the state for a while? Won't your kids grow up here, and your kids' kids? You may be concerned with "Does Arizona have water supply which is sustainable?" Key word here. What does "sustainable" mean? The general definition of "sustainable" is whether it is enough to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future to have the availability to have the same resources. Now, I hope you see these two ideas are incompatible: sustainability and safe yield. Because what sustainability means is that it's sustainable for all systems that depend on the water, for the people who use it, and for supplying water to the dependent, like some streams. So I'm going to repeat this. So, if we are using a safe yield method, we're only balancing what we take out with what gets recharged, but don't forget, water also flows out naturally. Then the amount stored underground gradually gets reduced, and that is going to lead to another problem: the lakes and streams are going to dry up.

There is, first, history regarded as a way of looking at other things, really the temporal aspect of anything, from the universe to this nib with which I am writing. Everything has its history. There is the history of the universe, if only we knew it and we know something of it, if we do not know much.

Esterbrook & Co. in England, who supply the Midland Bank with pen-nibs, from whom I got it—a gift, I may say, but behind this nib there is the whole process of manufacture. In fact a pen nib implies universe, and the history of it implies its history. We may regard this way of looking at it—history—as the time-aspect of all things, a pen-nib, the universe, the fiddle before me as I write, as a relative conception of history. There is, secondly, what we may call a substantive conception of history, what we usually mean by it, history proper as a subject of study in itself.填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：temporal aspect of anything）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：Everything has its history）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：if only we knew it）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：the contrast so great）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：the universe and this pen-nib）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：a considerable history）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：what has been written）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：something quite important）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：only one quill-pen or a couple）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：In addition to that）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：of its manufacture）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：from whom I got it）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：the whole process of manufacture）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：implies universe）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：the time-aspect）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：the universe, the fiddle）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：relative conception of history）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：a substantive conception of history）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：a subject of study in itself）解析：三、Part B Listening Comprehension(总题数：4，分数：20.00)Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following conversation.Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following conversation.（分数：5.00）(1).A.

Abbas, who is the front-runner in the January 9th Palestinian elections, said the rocket attacks are quoted "useless" because they provoke what he called a very grave Israeli escalation. He also accused Israel of hindering the Palestinian election campaign. Early today, Israel launched a new incursion into northern Gaza after a Qassam rocket wounded an Israeli woman. Palestinian witnesses says fifty Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers moved into Belt Hanoun in the Jabalia refugee camp.IRAQThe Iraqi Interim Prime Minister Ayad Allawi has said his patience over the situation in the insurgent-held city of Fallujah is wearing thin and negotiations to restore his government control there must come to an end soon. He said the government was in the final phase of efforts to secure the city without what he called a major military confrontation. US forces have carrying out repeated strikes against insurgents in Fallujah.CHINAThe first international Tibetan traditional medicine conference will be held July 15th to 17th in Lhasa, capital city of the Tibet Autonomous Region. China's Ethnic Medicine Institute, Tibetan Health Bureau and Tibetan Medical College will co-host the conference. The conference has received more than 500 research papers from China and abroad. The organizing committee primarily selected 290 articles to be discussed at the conference. More than 50 foreign guests from the US, Russia, Britain, India, Germany, France, Italy and Nepal will attend the meeting. The Chinese mainland will send a delegation consisting of 250 Tibetan medicine experts to the conference. NORTH KOREANorth Korea is warning the United Nations Security Council not to consider sanctions against it and says it will not recognize any resolutions on its nuclear program that the world body mightapprove. Four days before the UN Security Council is scheduled to discuss North Korea's nuclear program, Pyongyang is clarifying its views on the matter. A North Korean foreign ministry spokesman, quoted by the state-run Korean Central News Agency, says just bringing up the issue is "a prelude to war".SPAINThe Galileo system will be made up of 30 satellites beaming navigation signals to ground-control centers in the EU. Spain has been blocking a deal on how the system would be run, demanding to host one of the centers, but a compromise has now been reached allowing the multi-billion-dollar project to move ahead. But it's already running five years behind schedule.

Today, we invited Professor Lynch, an expert on Arabian culture to tell us some facts about the language that we may not really know.W: Hi, good evening. It's my honor to be here to share my knowledge with everybody.M: So, professor, I wonder if all the Arabs speak the same language, Arabic, just like people living in North America all speak English.W: It is generally thought that Arabic is a single language, spoken, written and understood by people in countries as widely separated as Iraq, Egypt and Morocco, but this is not so. It is only written Arabic (that is, the classical Arabic of the Koran and the modern Arabic of contemporary literature, journalism and broadcasting), that is more or less common to the wholeof the Arab world. The colloquial Arabic, which is spoken in the different Arab societies today, differs as widely between Arab countries as do Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.M: That's surprising! So you mean all the Arabs from different countries can understand others' written language, but not the spoken language?W: You are partly right. In the Arab world, written Arabic acts as a kind of Esperanto, providinga means of communication between educated people of different Arab nationalities. Written Arabic is, paradoxically, spoken too: on the radio and television, in public speeches, as well as between Arabs from different countries. We could call it pan-Arabic. It is used in rather the same way as Latin was used by educated people in Europe in the Middle Ages.M: It seems as if there are a lot of differences between written Arabic and colloquial Arabic. Shall we say that they belong to one language?W: It's a little complicated to explain. As we all know, even in English, of course, there are differences of grammar and vocabulary between the written and spoken language, but this differenceis far less than that between the artificial pan-Arabic and the living colloquial language of any Arab country. Moreover, both written and spoken English are recognized in English- speaking countries as belonging to one living language, and both are taught in schools. Colloquial Arabic, on the other hand, is not regarded by the people who speak it as "proper" Arabic. Unlike colloquial English, it is not taught in schools, and it is not written; indeed, there is a strong feelingin Arab societies that it should not be used in a written form.M: So what language, pan-Arabic or colloquial Arabic, does an Arab, say, an Egyptian, use mainlyin his everyday life?W: An educated Egyptian uses pan-Arabic to talk to equally educated Iraqis, Saudis and Moroccans. No reasonable man, however, wishes to talk like a book or a newspaper, and the language that the same educated Egyptian uses with his family and with other Egyptians is quite different. This language is wholly Egyptian, and it is only spoken.11. What mistaken view do most people hold about Arabic?(2).A. Colloquial Arabic. B. Esperanto.C. Proper Arabic.D.

It is extremely humorous.（分数：1.00）A.B. √C.D.解析：[解析] 16-20Every culture has many sayings that give advice about life. These sayings are part of what is commonly called folk wisdom. Of course, folk wisdom is also expressed in other ways, such as myths, fairy tales, legends, and songs. Often however, folk wisdom is shared in the form of short sayings about the best ways to approach life's joys and sorrows.One characteristic of American folk wisdom is its humor. Humor makes the bitter medicine of life easier to swallow. It sometimes makes the harsh realities of life more attractive. For example, Benjamin Franklin's clever saying, "A full belly makes a dull brain" means "People who are well-fed or self-satisfied can become lazy and stupid." But this paraphrasing loses the elegance and humor of Franklin's original saying. Some moralists in the United States are successful because they are able to say wise things humorously.Abraham Lincoln expressed similar opinions about life but in a different way. Lincoln continued the tradition of "horse sense" humor. This type of humor appeals to people who are hungry for practical common sense. Lincoln, both a politician and an idealist, understood the need for horse sense. He knew how to use common sense to influence people's opinion. He could take the highest moral principles or the most critical observations and use them in folksy—or simple commonsense—humor to make them better understood and more easily accepted. Take, for example, this quote, which is one of the best known in the United States. "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. " Another of Lincoln's wise, folksy statements is: "The Lord prefers common-looking people. That's why he makes so many of them. "There is no doubt that people need a little push sometimes to help them see the folly of their ways. Mark Twain used humor to reveal that many popular ideas were false, foolish, or even harmful. Twain thought that most human beings didn't examine why they believe certain things, and that they were too easily influenced by the opinions of people in power. He felt that it was easier for people to be "misled" than to be led correctly, so he tried to show the foolishness of those in power. For example, he said, "Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side and ain't that a big enough majority in any town?"Now you may get the impression that Twain was a misanthrope, a person who saw everyone's mistakes and never noticed their good qualities. It's true that his humor was sometimes harsh, but it was used to reveal truths about human relationships. Twain thought the result would be a better, more just society. However, he also realized that he irritated a lot of people. He was aware that when newspapers reported his death, many people might be happy to hear the news. The telegram he sent from Europe to the Associated Press is typical of his humor. It read, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. "16.

"?四、SECTION 2 READING TEST(总题数：4，分数：50.00)Questions 1～5According to the old Jewish stories, the world was in a sad state. The hand of man was lifted against his neighbor. People murdered and stole from each other. It was not safe for a girl to leave her home, lest she be kidnapped by the boys in the neighboring villages. Jehovah, the God of the Israelites, wanted to begin civilization again, hoping that a new generation would prove to be more obedient to his will.In those days there lived a man called Noah. He was descendant of Seth, a younger brother of Cain and Abel, who was born after the family tragedy had taken place. Noah was a good man who tried to be at peace with his conscience and with his fellowmen. If the human race had to began once more, Noah would make a very good ancestor.Jehovah therefore decided to kill all other people, but spare Noah. He came to Noah and told him to build a ship. The vessel was to be four hundred and fifty feet long and thirty feet wide and it was to have a depth of forty-three feet. So Noah and his faithful workmen cut down large cypress trees and laid the kneel and built the sides and covered them with pitch, that the hold might be dry. When the third deck had been finished, a roof was built. It was made of heavy timber, to withstand the violence of the rain that was to pour down upon this wicked earth.Then Noah and his household, his three sons and their wives, made ready for the voyage. They went into the fields and into the mountains and gathered all the animals they could find that they might have beasts for food and for sacrifices when they should return to dry land.A whole week they hunted successfully. And then the "Ark" (for so was the ship called) was full of the noises of the various creatures who did not like their cramped quarters.On the evening of the seventh day, Noah and his family went on board. Later that night, it began to rain. It rained for forty nights and forty days. At the end of this time, the whole world was covered with water, Noah and his fellow travelers in the Ark were the only living things to survive this terrible deluge.Finally, a new wind swept the clouds away. Once more the rays of the sun rested upon the turbulent waves as they had done when the world was first created.Noah opened a window on the Ark and peered out. His ship floated peacefully in the midst of an endless ocean, and no land was in sight. To see if there was dry land, Noah sent out a raven, but the bird came back. Next he sent a pigeon. Pigeons can fly longer than almost any other bird, but the poor thing could not find a single branch upon which to rest, and it also came back to Ark.He waited a week, and once more he set the pigeon free. It was gone all day, but in the evening it returned with a freshly plucked olive leaf in its beak. The waters were receding. Another week went by before Noah released the pigeon for the third time. It did not return and this was a good sign. So afterward the Ark landed on the top of Mount Ararat, in the country which is now called Armenia.The next day Noah went ashore. At once he took some stones and built an altar, and then killed a number of his animals to make a sacrifice for Jehovah. And behold, the sky was bright with the colors of a mighty rainbow. It was a sign from Jehovah to his faithful servant, promising never again would he destroy the entire earth.（分数：12.50）(1).According to the story, Jehovah wanted to destroy the whole world because ______.A. people on earth were wicked and they did not listen to God's instructionsB. there were crimes of murder and theftC. the world was dirtyD.

Neither the landscape nor the people find their counterparts in any other portion of the globe. Valley walls rise steeply five or six thousand feet on every side. The columns crawl through a maze of giant corridors down which fierce snow-fed torrents foam under skies of brass. Amid these scenes of savage brilliancy there dwells a race whose qualities seem to harmonize with their environment. Except at harvest-time, when self- preservation requires a temporary truce, the Pathan tribes are always engaged in private or public war. Every man is a warrior, a politician and a theologian. Every large house is a real feudal fortress made, it is true, only of sun-baked clay, but with battlements, turrets, loopholes, drawbridges, etc. complete. Every village has its defense. Every family cultivates its vendetta; every clan, its feud. The numerous tribes and combinations of tribes all have their accounts to settle with one another. Nothing is ever forgotten, and very few debts are left unpaid. For the purposes of social life, in addition to the convention about harvest-time, a most elaborate code of honor has been established and is on the whole faithfully observed. A man who knew it and observed it faultlessly might pass unarmed from one end of the frontier to another. The slightest technical slip would, however, be fatal. The life of the Pathans is thus full of interest; and his valleys, nourished alike by endless sunshine and abundant water, are fertile enough to yield with little labor the modest material requirements of a sparse population.Into this happy world the nineteenth century brought two new facts: the rifle and the British government. The first was an enormous luxury and blessing; the second, an unmitigated nuisance. The convenience of the rifle was nowhere more appreciated than in the Indian highlands. A weapon which would kill with accuracy at fifteen hundred yards opened a whole new vista of delights to every family or clan which could acquire it. One could actually remain in one's own house and fire at one's neighbor nearly a mile away. One could lie in wait on some high crag, and at hitherto unheard-of ranges hit a horseman far below. Even villages could fire at each other without the trouble of going far from home. Fabulous prices were therefore offered for these glorious products。

I want to start my lecture by telling you a story. Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a Chinese. One day, as Consuela came to work, her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at her boss. Her boss was shocked. Well, he had given her the red envelope and the money because it was the Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year, it is traditional to give money to young single people for good luck. However, from Consuela's point of view, here was an older man giving her money in an envelope which meant that he was asking her for sexual favors. Naturally she refused to take the money. Now, what does this story show us? It shows that an action can have totally opposite meanings in different cultures. Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior. And to illustrate my point today I'm going to give examples from four areas. First, the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second, the way they use names and titles. Third, the way people eat. And finally, the way they exchange gifts. OK, let's start with greeting customs. First of all, I'm sure you know that in the United States and in most Western countries, greetings often involve some sort of touching, such as a handshake, a hug, or a kiss if people know each other very well. On the other hand, people from most Asian countries don't usually feel as comfortable touching in public. Although handshakes between businesspeople are common, many Japanese prefer a bow, while people from Thailand normally hold their hands together in a kind of prayer position. So imagine how embarrassing it would be if an American was invited to someone's home in Japan or Thailand and she tried to hug the host! Now, another behavior that differs from culture to culture is the use of names. Have you noticed that Americans are quick to use people's first names, even if they have just met? For instance, visitors to the United States are always surprised to hear employees speak to their bosses using first names. In contrast, people in most other culturesare more formal and prefer to be addressed as "Mr. Brown" or "Ms. Honda", for example. In addition, in some countries, such as Italy or Korea, people like you to include their title or position with their family names, especially if they're university graduates or owners of a business. Now I want to look at eating customs. I'll talk about the behaviors connected with eating that vary from culture to culture. One of these is the use of utensils. You probably know that people in many Asian cultures use chopsticks but in some countries, it is customary to eat with your fingers. It's important to be aware of different dining customs. Here's another example: In some cultures eating everything on your plate is considered impolite. In Egypt and China, you should leave some food in your dish at the end of the meal. This is to show that your hosts were generous and gave you more than enough to eat. However, Americans generally consider a clean plate a sign of satisfaction with the food. Finally, what I want to mention today is gift-giving, which you may think is a universal custom with not much variation from culture to culture. But the rules of gift-giving can be very complicated. In the United States, if you're invited to someone's home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item as a present. On the other hand, the Japanese give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone such as a teacher or doctor. In the Japanese culture, gift-giving is a very ancient tradition and it has many detailed rules. Another interesting fact about gift-giving is that many cultures have strict rules about gifts you should not give. For example, never give yellow flowers to people from Iran, which means you hate them! 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：owned）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：traditional）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：single）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：favors）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：opposite）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：illustrate）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：greetings）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：involve）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：touching）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：hug）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：comfortable）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：names）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：addressed）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：customs）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：impolite）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：clean）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：satisfaction）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：yellow）解析：三、{{B}}B{{/B}}(总题数：1，分数：50.00)Scientists have found a cheap and easy way of {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}a condition from recordings of people sleeping.

Snoring is no joke for partners, but it's not much fun for the snorer either. Severe snoring is the sound of a sleeper fighting for breath, as relaxed muscles in the pharynx (the top of the throat) allow the airway to become blocked. Lots of people snore, but the loud and irregular snoring caused by a condition known as obstructive sleep apnea, OSA, can leave a sufferer tired and fuddled during the day, even though he or she is rarely fully awoken by the night-time disruption. OSA is costly and laborious to diagnose, and it's difficult to distinguish genuine OSA, which afflicts between 4% and 10% of the population, from ordinary snoring. Often a snorer will need to sleep under observation in a laboratory wired up to instruments that monitor brain waves, eye movement and other sleep-related activities. But a team in Brazil that brings together medics and physicists has a simpler solution: they say they have found a way of analyzing snore recordings that is able not only to spot OSA but can distinguish between mild and severe cases. Diagnosing OSA from snore sounds is not a new idea. The question is how, if at all, the clinical condition is revealed by the noises. Does OSA affect the total number of snores, or their loudness, or their acoustic quality, or their regularity—or several or all of these things? In 2008, a team in Turkey showed that the statistical regularity of snores has the potential to discriminate ordinary sleepers from OSA sufferers. And last year a group in Australia found that a rather complex analysis of the sound characteristics of snores, such as the pitch, might be capable of providing such a diagnosis, at least in cases where the sound is recorded under controlled and otherwise quiet conditions. A person who snores but does not suffer from OSA typically does so in synchrony with breathing, with successive snores less than about tenseconds apart. In these cases the obstruction of the airway that triggers snoring comes and goes, so that snoring might stop for perhaps a couple of minutes or more before resuming. So for "healthy snoring", the spacing between snores tends to be either less than ten seconds or, from time to time, more than about 100 seconds. OSA patients, meanwhile, have snore intervals that fall within this time window. The snores follow one another in train, but with a spacing dictated by the more serious restriction of airflow rather than the steady in-and-out of breathing. Scientists looked for unique patterns in OSA by measuring what they call a snore time interval index, which is a measure of how often the time between snores falls between 10 and 100 seconds. They compared this with a standard clinical measure of OSA severity called the apnea-hypopnea index, AHI, which is obtained from complicated monitoring of a sleeping patient's airflow in a laboratory. Hypopnea is the milder form of OSA in which the airway becomes only partially blocked. They found that the higher the value of their snore interval index, the higher the patient's corresponding AHI is. In other words, the snore index can be used as a pretty reliable proxy for the AHI. you can just record the snores at home rather than going through the rigmarole of the whole lab procedure. That's not all. The researchers could also use a snore recording to figure out how snores are related to each other, whether there is a kind of "snore memory", so that, say, a particular snore is linked to a recent burst of snoring. This memory is measured by a so-called Hurst exponent, which reveals hidden patterns in a series of events that, at first glance, look random and disconnected. An automated computer analysis of the snore series could "learn", based on training with known test cases, to use the Hurst exponent to distinguish moderate from severe cases of OSA, making the correct diagnosis for 16 of 17 patients. Their work hasn't yet been peer-reviewed. But in the light of the earlier studies of OSA signatures in snore sounds, it adds to the promise of an easy and cheap way of spotting snorers who have a clinical condition that needs treatment. 填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：breath）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：irregular）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：obstructive）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：tired）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：laborious）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：ordinary）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：spot）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：severe）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：noises）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：regularity）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：potential）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：sufferers）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：unique）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：index）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：proxy）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：memory）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：hidden）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：automated）解析：填空项1:__________________ （正确答案：moderate）解析：。

Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a Chinese. One day, as Consuela came to work, her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at her boss. Her boss was shocked. Well, he had given her the red envelope and the money because it was the Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year, it is traditional to give money to young single people for good luck. However, from Consuela"s point of view, here was an older man giving her money in an envelope which meant that he was asking her for sexual favors. Naturally she refused to take the money.Now, what does this story show us? It shows that an action can have totally opposite meanings in different cultures. Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior. And to illustrate my point today I"m going to give examples from four areas. First, the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second, the way they use names andtitles. Third, the way people eat. And finally, the way they exchange gifts.OK, let"s start with greeting customs. First of all, I"m sure you know that in the United States and in most Western countries, greetings often involve some sort of touching, such as a handshake, a hug, or a kiss if people know each other very well. On the other hand, people from most Asian countries don"t usually feel as comfortable touching in public. Although handshakes between businesspeople are common, many Japanese prefer a bow, while people from Thailand normally hold their hands together in a kind of prayer position. So imagine how embarrassing it would be if an American was invited to someone"s home in Japan or Thailand and she tried to hug the host! Now, another behavior that differs from culture to culture is the use of names. Have you noticed that Americans are quick to use people"s first names, even if they have just met? For instance, visitors to the United States are always surprised to hear employees speak to their bosses using first names. In contrast, people in most other cultures are more formal and prefer to be addressed as "Mr. Brown" or "Ms. Honda", for example. In addition, in some countries, such as Italy or Korea, people like you to include their title or position with their family names, especially if they"re university graduates or owners of a business.Now I want to look at eating customs. I"ll talk about the behaviors connected with eating that vary from culture to culture. One of these is the use of utensils. You probably know that people in many Asian cultures use chopsticks but in some countries, it is customary to eat with your fingers. It"s important to be aware of different dining customs. Here"s another example: In some cultures eating everything on your plate is considered impolite. In Egypt and China, you should leave some food in your dish at the end of the meal. This is to show that your hosts were generous and gave you more than enough to eat. However, Americans generally consider a clean plate a sign of satisfaction with the food.Finally, what I want to mention today is gift-giving, which you may think is a universal custom with not much variation from culture to culture. But the rules of gift-giving can be very complicated. In the United States, if you"re invited to someone"s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or a small item as a present. On the other hand, the Japanese give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone such as a teacher or doctor. In the Japanese culture, gift-giving is a very ancient tradition and it has many detailed rules. Another interesting fact about gift-giving is that many cultures have strict rules about gifts you should not give. For example, never give yellow flowers to people from Iran, which means you hate them!解析：owned解析：traditional解析：single解析：favors解析：opposite解析：illustrate解析：greetings解析：involve解析：touching解析：hug解析：comfortable解析：names解析：addressed解析：customs解析：impolite解析：clean解析：satisfaction解析：yellow三、B(总题数：1，分数：50.00)Scientists have found a cheap and easy way of 1 a condition from recordings of people sleeping.

高口听力Note-taking和Gap-filling考前抢分

高口听力Note-taking & Gap-filling 考前抢分刘寒露倒计时Day 8（1）一．答题技巧各位同学们大家好，马上又到了2012年春季口译考试的时间了，在3.18 日这一次的口译考试中，我们同样为大家准备了应考必读栏目，提醒考生需要注意的事项，包括对考试的流程的熟悉和对各种题型解题技巧的掌握。

今天刘寒露老师要为大家讲解的，是高级口译听力考试中的Note-taking & Gap-filling 题型(以下简称NTGF)。

首先我们来回顾一下该题型的考察流程，以及在每个步骤，考生应该如何操作。

NTGF是高口听力下半场的第一个题目。

考生回到座位上，首先是拿不到试卷和答题纸的，大家首先拿到的是一张空白的笔记纸，笔记纸大小在16K，比常用的A4纸小一些。

笔记纸有一面是完全空白的，另一面有3行左右的文字，写的是NTGF这个题目的direction。

考生拿到笔记纸，先翻到完全空白的那一面，准备做笔记，如果此后空白面不够用，再用另一面。

笔记纸发放完毕后，开始播放听力录音，中速的录音将持续6分钟之久，对考生的体力和脑力都是巨大的挑战。

这一阶段，要求考生一定要坚持到底，持续笔记，坚持到底就是胜利。

考场上的笔记持久力从哪里来呢？首先，来自于平时完整的练习，我们建议考生在迎考复习时，用完整的时间来练习听力部分的所有题目。

把历年真题当成完整的考试来练习，以提早适应考试对精神和体力的要求。

另外，考试现场如果实在记不动笔记了，建议考生看一下周围的考生，同为考生，大家总能相互鼓舞。

那么，笔记的要领又在哪里呢？首先，对于篇章，考生首先考虑记录的是框架，框架包含主话题，还有若干个分话题，这些在原文中一般是名词和名词词组，所以应该优先记录代表话题的名词和名词词组。

其次，第二级重要的内容是数字，我们在授课的时候多次提到，数字是对于所有题型都十分重要的一个考点。

当然，仅仅记录数字是不够的，考生需要把数字和数字的相关信息，也就是数字说明的内容一起记下来才行。

攻克高级口译Note-Taking and Gap-Filling!

对高级口译听力部分中的Note-Taking and Gap-Filling这道题，我想，很多人把它的难度过于夸大，而且传得沸沸扬扬，让人在做题之前便觉得好像是什么超级难题一样。

其实，客观来说，它的难度实在不及最后一道大题----听力段落翻译。

我先来分析一下原因。

1。

听力难度：只需听出首段大意，能把握文章纲要，然后尽可能多记些信息实词即可，而无须每句每词都听懂。

而后面的听译部分，无论内容轻重，必须都听出来，才能在译文中有所体现。

2。

笔记难度：在做听译部分时必须精神高度集中，要求笔记非常熟练，并体现出整个段落的逻辑结构，而Note-taking 这部分重在听懂课程，只需把内容的层次分清。

3。

翻译难度：听译最终需要通顺的汉语翻译。

而Note-Taking无需翻译。

从这三点来看，Note-Taking难度不如听译，它唯一的难度在于文章长，反而让广大考生不知该记些什么。

下面，根据在新东方多年来的教学心得和阅卷心得，通过07年9月的具体实考题为例，希望教给大家抓重点的诀窍。

07.9 高口听力Note-Taking and Gap-Filling
Good morning, and welcome to today’s lecture.
Today we’re going to discuss the mass urbanization of the world’
s population, which is an unprecedented trend worldwide.First, I’ll
focus on two major reasons why people are moving to cities. Well, the first
reason is economic.People are moving to the cities because that’s where
they can find jobs and earn money. Until the 20th century, the major
source of employment, full and part-time, was farming. Now, no more
than 15% of all jobs are connected to farming. Jobs now ar e being created
in information technology, manufacturing, and service areas,such as
tourism and fi nancing. And all of these new jobs are in or around major
cities.
我们先看第一段：大家一目了然，显然这个讲座的主题是要记的，可以记“urbanization"或直接汉字简记“世人城化”，主题是最根本的内容，是第一层信息；而你要做到的，却是对前面的信号词“We're going to discuss。

”类似于提示主题的信号语，还有(历年考题曾出现）：Today,we're going to talk about...，I'd like to mention, Let's move on to another argument, I'd like to emphasize...等等（文中已标绿）
主题抓住后，再看它会从几部分详细介绍，大家理应理解的是造成这种现象有两大原因，这是第二层信息，并记下第一大原因是Eco,或“经”字，文中已标紫。

在这个第二层信息下，属于第三层信息，是对这一原因的具体解释，我们这时候应该多记些能体现这一原因的实词，哪些实词是重要呢？其实每篇文章都会用信号词告诉你。

总的来说，这些信号词分为转折、让步、递进、因果、序数、列举。

However,although,moreoever,because(of)，first, second,such as等等（文中已标红）。

考生听到这些词后，可以尽量多记些，如表原因的job、money, 表过去和现在对比的农和info-tech,制，服，旅，财（已标黄）。

新东方口译笔记范例：
城化--- 2 ---- 经---- job
mny
农---〉info-tech
制
服 --- 旅
财
大家现在应该有了新的认识：此题型听力上更像是考验你的逻辑思维，对主干和枝叶的划分，和对主次信息的区分。

所以说，该记什么，什么时候该警觉，几乎无一例外，全部是靠这些标出的那么平凡的信息词。

大家要做的，反而是对看上去非常简单的信息词的反应更加敏锐。

那么，怎么去对这些信息词更加敏感呢?
第一：不妨精看三篇历年原文，把文中的信号词都划出来，使自己对这些词的样子和位置印象更深。

第二：必须听听Native Speaker处理这些信号词时的语音语调，轻重缓急。

听力在于模仿+超越。

必须熟悉Native Speaker说话的节奏,并努力模仿，再听时，如同听自己说话，又怎会不懂。

第三：把Spot-dictation缩写的四种技巧，和听译的笔记技巧的上课笔记拿出来重温。

大家看到了，除主题外，几乎不可能把词写全的。

所以，听写、听解、Note-taking这前三个听力题型，是做好听译最后一道大题的基础。

最后的听译，是这三个题型的集中体现而已。
