翻译硕士MTI《211翻译硕士英语》词汇语法考研复习笔记

翻译硕士MTI《211翻译硕士英语》词汇语法考研复习笔记

翻译硕士MTI《211翻译硕士英语》词汇语法考研复习笔记第1章词汇语法技巧指南1.1 大纲要求和试题类型全国翻译硕士专业学位教育指导委员会根据《全日制翻译硕士专业学位研究生指导性培养方案》以及培养高层次、应用型、专业性口笔译人才的教育目标,制定了全日制翻译硕士专业学位研究生入学考试大纲,其中,《翻译硕士英语》考试大纲对词汇语法部分的具体要求如下:1.考核要求1)词汇量要求考生的认知词汇量应在10,000以上,其中积极词汇量为5,000以上,即能正确而熟练地运用常用词汇及其常用搭配。

2)语法要求考生能正确运用外语语法、结构、修辞等语言规范知识。

在了解该部分的大纲要求时,有两点内容需要注意:一是词汇量要求。

《翻译硕士英语》大纲要求考生的认知词汇量应在10,000以上,其中积极词汇量为5,000以上,即能正确而熟练地运用常用词汇及其常用搭配。

而《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》对英语专业第四学年的教学要求为通过课堂教学和其他途径认知词汇达10,000-12,000个;且能正确而熟练地使用其中的5,000-6,000个及其最常用的搭配;英语专业八级考试要求词汇量在13,000左右,由此可见,对于英语专业考生《翻译硕士英语》的词汇量要求并不高,为高等学校英语专业本科生经过大学阶段的英语学习与实践应当达到的最低标准。

而根据《大学英语课程教学要求》,大学阶段非英语专业的英语教学要求分为三个层次,即一般要求、较高要求和更高要求。

更高要求推荐词汇量为约7675个单词,约2360个积极词汇,而大学英语六级词汇范围不超出《大学英语课程教学要求》中较高要求的词汇,即6395个单词,2200个积极词汇。

所以,如果是非英语专业考生报考翻译硕士,则词汇量要求相对较高,复习的力度应相应加大。

二是语法要求。

《翻译硕士英语》大纲要求考生能正确运用外语语法、结构、修辞等语言规范知识。

大纲没有指出具体内容,为了使考生能够更加明确复习范围,我们可以把《高等学校英语专业英语教学大纲》对语法要求的具体规定作为参考:能识别词类;区分名词的可数性和不可数性、可数名词的单、复数形式;基本掌握各种代词的形式与用法、基数词和序数词、常用介词和连词、形容词和副词的句法功能、比较级和最高级的构成及基本句型、冠词的一般用法;了解动词的主要种类、时态、语态及不定式和分词的基本用法、句子种类、基本句型和基本构词法;掌握主谓一致关系、表语从句、宾语从句、定语从句和状语从句等句型、直接引语和间接引语的用法、动词不定式和分词的用法、各种时态、主动语态、被动语态和构词法;熟练掌握主语从句、同位语从句、倒装句和各种条件句;较好地掌握句子之间和段落之间的衔接手段如照应、省略、替代等;熟练地使用各种衔接手段,连贯地表达思想。

翻译硕士英语和专八谁更难

翻译硕士英语和专八谁更难

翻译硕士英语和专八谁更难基础语法题:题型专四,难度专八。

大部分学校的翻译硕士英语考查基础词汇和语法的形式就是单项选择,有几所学校会出专八的改错题对同学的语法进行综合考察。

然而,同学们一拿到卷纸看到题干中的词汇,估计单词书没背完的同学会有很多不认识的,而且题干内容都比较难。

作为研究生入学考试,题目的难度一定是有的。

相信老师们都希望招收到语言功底扎实的同学,没有良好的语言基础,只靠所谓的“技巧”,如何做一个好的翻译呢?另外,译文虽然讲究要让人读懂,但如果总用大白话,不用些更高级的词汇,这样显得翻译的水平太低了。

阅读题:题型不定,难度专八。

虽然传统的题型是四选一,但是现在越来越多的学校开始花样翻新了。

花样翻新归翻新,但是考题的难度依然还是很大的,各类题材一样不落,而且某些文章用词比较难,专业性比较强。

专八有的文章难度就比较大,研究生入学考试也是如此。

专八对同学们要求比较严格,考研的话更是如此。

阅读出现那么多高级词汇不是刻意为难大家,出题人觉得到了研究生阶段,同学应该有看懂一些专业性文章的能力了。

作文题:题型不定,难度专八。

专四专八对同学们的作文字数要求最多就是300,而翻译硕士英语动辄就得400字,最少也得350字。

一般同学写个200字都极其费劲,400字的作文估计异常困难了。

研究生入学考试的作文不仅考察同学们的英语写作基本能力,还考察同学们的逻辑思维能力。

希望同学们平时注意积累,加强自己的思辨能力。

另外,作文需要多练习,这样大家逐渐就能够适应多字数的作文题目了。

总之,翻译硕士英语和专八的难度其实比较难分伯仲,各有各的考查重点。

英语专八属于通过类考试,大部分同学都能达到及格分数。

翻译硕士英语是研究生入学考试的某门科目,属于选拔类考试,难度相对来说会比专八大一些。

无论是哪种英语,大家都要认真复习呀。

Error Correction (10*1 point)Directions: There is one error in each line marked in number, correct them and write the right on the Answer Sheet.An outstanding example of hardwired capabilities with greatflexibility for programming by us is language. Specialists agree that“the human brain genetically programmed f or language 1 development,” and that“speech can be explained only on the basis of an innate language-processed capacity within our brain.” Unlike 2the rigidity that is displayed in the instinct behavior of animals, 3 therefore, there is tremendous flexibility in a human’s use of this 4 hardwired capacity for language.A specific language is not hardwired into our brains, and we are 5 preprogrammed with the capacity for learning languages. If twolanguage are spoken in the home, a child can learn both. If exposed 6to the third language, the child can learn it also. One girl was 7exposed to a number of langu8ges from babyhood. By the time shewas five she spoke eight fluently. In the view of such innate abilities 8it is not surprise that a linguist said that chimpanzee experiments 9with sign language “actually prove that chimps are capable of even 10the most rudimentary forms of human language.”IV. Reading (40 points)Section One Reading Comprehension (30*1 point)Passage 1David Frost ——AutobiographyDavid FrostLooked at one way, it is faintly ludicrous that Sir David Frost should be writing his autobiography already. That he should have written just the first 30 years’ worth might be thought strange. Here he is, not yet 55 years old, producing a volume of 528 pages that takes us no further than l969.It is, true, the period of his life that established his name and fortune, that swift rise from undergraduate cabaret turn to star host on both sides of the Atlantic, joint founder of an ambitious ITV company and long since able to invite show business stars, business tycoons and a British Prime Minister to breakfast at three days’ notice. (An event recalled in his book with such empty indifference that you cannot decidewhether the comprehensive name-dropping is intended to impress or just a habit. ) And yet David Frost, a significant figure in British television, certainly in the rapidly changing environment of the 1960’s, remains something of a mystery. Never far from positions of influence, wealthier from his broadcasting activities than all but the biggest moguls, he is in many ways on the edge of things.His book, like his career, perhaps, is as fascinating as it is unsatisfactory. The 1ength is due to its liberal resort to program transcripts, which yield verbatim exchanges with his many interviewees as well as detailed recall of the highs and lows of That Was The Week That Was and the scripting process that achieved them.The private Frost is to be caught only in passing, as he remains true to his preface: “Where there was a choice between a’60s tale and a personal one I have tried always to include the former.”The outcome is, I think, an insider’s book, dependent on remembering the times or knowing the people. But at that level, it is highly suggestive of its era, offers a view from a unique angle, yields some new insights -- into the formation of London Weekend Television, for instance ——and earns its place in the history of British Television. Like its author.1. The autobiography covers the author’sA. last thirty years.B. life after 1969.C. life before 1969D. first 55 years.2. David Frost isA. an inf1uential TV host.B. a famous movie star.C. an ambitious politician.D. a fascinating novelist.3. The autobiography is described as an insider’s book because it requires a knowledge ofA. all his personal experiences.B. his unique insights into British history.C. the development of British television.D. what was really happening in the 1960s.Passage 2He Came in on Cat PawsQuietly, almost unnoticed by a world sunk into the Great Depression, Germany on Jan. 30, l933, was handed to a monster. Adolf Hitler arrived, not in jackboots at the head of his Nazi legions but on cat paws, creeping in the side door.The president, Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, 85 and doddering, hated Hitler and all he represented. In 193l, after their first meeting, Hindenburg said Hitler “might become minister of posts but never chancellor”. In l932 Hitler challenged Hindenburg. The president ——Protestant, Prussian, a conservative monarchist -- won with the votes of Socialists, Unions, Centrist Catholics and Liberal Democrats.Hitler ——Catholic, Austrian and a former tramp-carried upper ——class Protestants, Prussian landowners and monarchists.Nearly senile and desperate for any way to establish order in the fractious environment, Hindenburg fel1 prey to intriguers. Papen began plotting to bring himself to power and his supposed friend Schleicher to the top of the army. Papen offered Hindenburg a government with Hitler’s support but without Hitler in the cabinet. Hindenburg made Papen chance11or and Schleicher defense minister.In the July 1932 parliamentary elections, the Nazis won 230 of 608 seats, and Hitler demanded the chancellorship; Hindenburg refused. Papen lost a confidence vote in August, and his government fell after losing in the fourth election in a year in November. Schleicher, whose very name means “intriguer”, turned on Papen, persuading Hindenburg to name him chancellor. Hitler’s propagandist Joseph Goebbels noted: “He won’t last long.”To get revenge, Papen proposed sharing power with Hitler in January 1933; Hitler agreed, but with Papen as vice chancellor. Ever eager for order, Hindenburg shifted once again and fired Schleicher. “I am sure,”the president said “I shall not regret this action in heaven. Schleicher replied bitterly, “After this breach of trust, sir, I am not sure you will go to heaven.”Schleicher would later say: “I stayed in power only 57 days, and on each and every one of them I was betrayed 57 times. Don’t ever speak to me of German loyalty!At noon on Jan. 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was sworn in as chancellor. Within one month, the Reichstag burned and civil liberties were suspended. Within two months, the Enabling Act stripped parliament of power and made Hitler dictator. On April 1, Hitler decreed a boycott of Jewish business. On April 4, he created the Reich Defense Council and began secretly rearming Germany. On July 14, Hitler made the Nazi Party “the only political party in Germany”.As they sowed, so they reaped. In the Blood Purge of 1934, a Nazi SS squad murdered Kurt von Schleicher in the doorway of his home. Franz von Papen lingered on, so powerless an errand boy for Hitler that he was acquitted at the Nuremberg trials.4. The author says that Hitler came into power “On cat paws” becauseA. he seized power illegally.B. he seized power by military force.C. he quietly took advantage of the internal conflict.D. he cleverly took advantage of the Depression.5. Hitler first asked to be made chancellor whenA. Papen lost a confidence vote.B. Hitler had won a third of the votes.C. Hindenburg fired Schleicher.D. Schleicher was fired.6. The chancellor was held byA. Papen, Schleicher, and then Hitler.B. Schleicher, Papen, and then Hitler.C. Hindenburg, Schleicher, and then Hitler.D. Hindenburg, Papen, and then Hitler.Passage 3Mercedes-Benz Gets Turned Upside downIris Rossner has seen eastern Germany customers weep for joy when they drive away in shiny, new Mercedes-Benz sedans.“They have tears in their eyes and keep saying how lucky they are,”says Rossner, the Mercedes employee responsib1e for post-delivery celebrations. Rossner has also seen the French pop corks on bottles of champagne as their national f1ag was hoisted above a purchase. And she has seen American business executives, Japanese tourists and Russian politicians travel thousands of miles to a Mercedes plant in southwestern Germany when a classic sedan with the trade mark three-pointed star was about to roll off the assemb1y line and into their lives. Those were the good economic miracle of the l960s and ended in l99l.Times have changed. “Ten years ago, we had clear leadership in the market,”says Mercedes spokesman Horst Krambeer.“But over this period, the market has changed drastically. We are now in a pitched battle. The Japanese are part1y responsible, but Mercedes has had to learn the hard way that even German firms like BMW and Audi have made efforts to rise to our standards of technical proficiency.”Mercedes experienced one of its worst years ever in 1992. The auto maker’s worldwide car sales fell by 5 percent from the previous year, to a low of 527, 500. Before the decline, in 1988, the company could sell close to 600,000 cars per year. In Germany alone, there were 30, 000 fewer new Mercedes registrations last year than in 1991. As a result,production has plunged by almost 50,000 cars to 529,400 last year, a level well beneath the company’s potential capacity of 650, 000. Mercedes’competitors have been catching up in the United States, the world’s largest car market. In 1986, Mercedes soldl00, 000 vehicles in America; by 1991, the number had declined to 59,000. Over the last two years, the struggling company has lost a slice of its US market share to BMW, Toyota and Nissan. And BMW outsold Mercedes in America last year for the first time in its history. Meanwhile, just as Mercedes began making some headway in Japan, a notorious1y difficult market, the Japanese economy fell on hard times and the company saw its sales decline by 13 percent in that country.Revenues will hardly improve this year, and the time has come for getting down to business. At Mercedes, that means cutting payrolls, streamlining production and opening up to consumer needs--revolutionary steps for a company that once considered itself beyond improvement.7. The author’s intention in citing various nationalities’ interests in Mercedes is to illustrate Mercedes’A. sale strategies.B. market monopoly.C. superior quality.D. past record.8. Mercedes is having a hard time becauseA. it is lagging behind in technology.B. Japan is turning to BMW for cars.C. its competitors are catching up.D. sales in America have dropped by 13%.9. In the good years Mercedes could sell aboutA. 527,500 cars.B. 529,400 cars.C. 600,000 cars.D. 650,000 cars.10. What caused the decline of Mercedes’ sales in Japan?A. Japan is a very difficu1t market.B. The state of the economy there.C. Competition from other car companies.D. BMW and Audi’s improved technical standards.Passage 4What our society suffers from most today is the absence of consensus about what it and life in it ought to be. Such consensus cannot be gained from society's present stage, or from fantasies about what it ought to be. For that the present is too close and too diversified, and the future too uncertain, to make believable claims about it. A consensus in the present hence can be achieved only through a shared understanding of the past, as Homer’s epics p informed those who lived centuries later what it meant to be Greek, and by what images and ideals they were to live their lives and organize their societies.Most societies derive consensus from a long history, a language all their own, a common religion, common ancestry. The myths by which they live are based on all of these. But the United States is a country of immigrants, coming from a great variety of nations. Lately, it has been emphasized that an asocial, narcissistic (⾃我陶醉的) personality has become characteristic of Americans, and that it is this type of personality that makes for the lack of well-being, because it prevents us from achieving consensus that would counteract a tendency to withdraw into private worlds. In his study of narcissism, Christopher Lasch says that modern man, “tortured by self consciousness, turns to new therapies not to free himself of his personal worries but to find meaning and purpose in life, to find something to live for”. There is widespread distress because national morale has declined, and we have lost an earlier sense of national vision and purpose.Contrary to rigid religions or political beliefs, as are found in totalitarian (极权主义) societies, our culture is one of great individual differences, at least in principle and in theory. But this leads to disunity, even chaos. Americans believe in the value of diversity, but just because ours is a society based on individual diversity, it needsconsensus about some dominating ideas more than societies based on uniform origin of their citizens. Hence, if we are to have consensus, it must be based on a myth ——a vision ——about a common experience, a conquest that made us Americans, as the myth about the conquest of Troy formed the Greeks. Only a common myth can offer relief from the fear that life is without meaning or purpose. Myths permit us to examine our place in the world by comparing it to a shared idea. Myths are shared fantasies that form the tie that binds the individual to the members of his group. Such myths help to ward off feelings of isolation, guilt, anxiety, and purposelessness ——in short; they combat isolation and the breakdown of social standards and values.11. In the author’s view, the greatest trouble with the US society lies in theA) lack of serious disagreement over the organizations of social life.B) non-existence of unanimity on the forms the society should take.C) general denying of its conformity with what it was unexpected to be.D) public negation of the consensus on how to conduct social reforms.12. Homer’s epics mentioned in Paragraph 1 exemplify the fact thatA) the present is varying too fast to be caught up easily.B) the future may be so indefinite as to be unpredictable.C) the past can help to shape a consensus in the present.D) the past determines social moralities for later generations.13. The a social personality of Americans results fromA) the multiracial constituents of the US society.B) the absence of a common religion and ancestry.C) the want of shared myths they possess in life.D) the obstruction of achieving a general agreement.14. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Christopher Lasch is most probablyA) an earnest nationalist. B) an advanced psychologist.C) a radical reformer. D) a social historian.15. The author concludes that only shared myths can help Americans .A) to bring about the uniformity of their culture.B) to diminish their great individual differences.C) to avoid the sense of being isolated and anxious.D) to regain the feelings of social values and morale.Passage 5Genetic engineering holds great potential payoffs for farmers and consumers by making crops resistant to pets, diseases, and even chemicals used to kill surrounding weeds. But new research raises concerns that altering crops to withstand such threats may pose new risks ——from none other than the weeds themselves. This is due to the weed’s ability to acquire genes for the neighboring agricultural crops. Researchersfound that when a weed cross-breeds with a farm-cultivated relative and thus acquires new genetic traits ——possibly including artificial genes engineered to make the crop hardier the hybrid (杂交) weed can pass along those traits to future generations.“The result may be very hard, hard-to-kill weeds,”said Allison Snow, a plant ecologist at Ohio state university in Columbus who conducted the experiments over the past six years along with two colleague. They presented their results last week at the annual meeting of the Ecological Society of America in Madison, Wisconsin. The findings suggest the genetic engineering done with the aim of improving crops ——giving them new genetic traits such as resistance to herbicides (chemicals which kill weeds) or pest ——could ultimately have unintended and harmful consequences for the crops if weeds acquire the same trait and use it to out compete the crops. “Gene movement from crops to their wild relatives is an ongoing process that can be u1timately harmful to crops,” said Snow.“The results of the experiments challenge a common belief that hybrids gradually die out over several generations,”Snow explained. “There has been an assumption that genes would not persist in crop-weed hybrids because hybrids are thought to be less successful at reproducing,”she said. However, Snow’s research contradicted his assumption: Hybrid wild radishes survived in all six generations that were grown since the study began.Although the genetic traits the scientists monitored were natural and not genetically engineered, the findings nonetheless suggest that artificial improvements introduced into crops through genetic engineering could spread to weeds and become permanent traits of the weed population.So strengthened, the weeds may pose a serious risk to the long-term health of agricultural crops. The danger exists in a number of crops plants ——including rice, sunflower, and carrots ——that are closely related to weeds with which they compete. Snow is concerned that the transfer of genes from crops to related weeds could rapidly render many herbicides ineffectual. That situation, she said, would be much like bacterial disease acquiring resistance to antibiotics.Because plant hybrids arise in a single generation, however, it could happen much more quickly.“Modern agriculture is heavily dependent on herbicides,”she said, “so people will notice when those do not work anymore.”16. The word “This” (Line 4, Para. 1) refers toA) the results of recent research B) dangers inherent in the nature of weedsC) risk of altering crop’s genetic make-upsD) threats posed by chemical used to kill weeds17. According to the passage, genetic engineering can be used toA) kill weeds through cross-breeding B) make crops free from chemicalsC) improve the yield and quality of most cropsD) make crops resistant to chemical fertilizers18. Genetically modified crops could have harmful effects becauseA) genetically modified plants can bring new diseasesB) genetically modified plants are likely to develop into weedsC) gene movement between cultivated plants and wild ones is inevitableD) hybrids are generally more successful at breeding than natural plants19. The potential that some weeds may do serious harm to genetically modified plants is greatest forA) crops who rely on herbicides and pesticides for effective harvestsB) areas in which cross-breeding is kept to a minimumC) agricultural crops grown for their grainsD) crops that are intimately related to their weeds20. According to the author, the main impact gene transfer between crops and weeds could have isA) the rapid deve1opment of unintended plant hybridsB) the development of pest-and-herbicide-resistant weedsC) the collapse of the agricultural industry D) the dying-out of hybridsPassage 6Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty. That compulsion has resulted in robotics science of conferring various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close.As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot-drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with sub-millimeter accuracy ——far greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves ——goals that pose a real challenge. “while we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error,”says Dave Lavery, manager of a robotics program atNASA, “we can not give a robot enough common sense to reliably interact with a dynamic world.”Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed results. Despite a spell of optimism in the l960s and l970s when it appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 20l0, researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the human brain's roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented ——and human perception far more complicated ——than previously imagined. They have built robot that can recognize the error of a machine panel by a fraction of a millimeter in a controlled factory environment. But the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing scene and immediately disregard the 98 Percent that is irrelevant, instantaneously focusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the single suspicious face in a big crowd. The most advanced computer system on earth can not approach that kind of ability, and neuroscientists still do not know quite how we do it.2l. Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated inA) the use of machines to produce science fiction.B) the wide use of machines in manufacturing industry.C) the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work.D) the elite’s cunning tackling of dangerous and boring work.22. The word “gizmos” (Line 1, Para. 2) most probably meansA) devices. B) experts. C) programs. D) creatures.23. According to Paragraph 3, what is beyond man's ability now is to design a robot thatA) can fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgery.B) can respond independently to a changing world.C) can have a little common sense. D) can interact with human beings verbally.24. According to the passage, which of the following can robots do now?A) Make a few decisions for themselves.B) Deal with some errors with human intervention.C) Improve factory environments. D) Cultivate human creativity.25. The author uses the example Of a monkey to argue that robots areA) expected to copy human brain in internal structure.B) able to perceive abnormalities immediately.C) best used in a controlled environment.D) far less able than human brain in focusing on relevant information.Passage 7On an average of six times a day, a doctor in Holland practices “active”euthanasia: intentionally administering a lethal drug to a terminally ill patient who has asked to be relieved of suffering. Twenty times a day, life-prolonging treatment is withheld or withdrawn when there is no hope that it can affect an ultimate cure. “Active”euthanasia remains a crime on the Dutch statute books punishable by l2 years in prison. But a series of court cases over the past l5 years has made it clear that a competent physician who carries it out will not be prosecuted.Euthanasia, often called “mercy killing”, is a crime everywhere in Western Europe. But more and more doctors and nurses in Britain, West Germany, Holland and elsewhere readily admit to practicing it, most often in the “passive”form of withholding or withdrawing treatment. The long simmering euthanasia issue has lately boiled over into a sometimes fierce public debate, with both sides claiming the mantle of ultimate righteousness. Those opposed to the practice see themselves up-holding sacred principles of respect for life, while those in favor raise the banner of humane treatment. After years on the defensive, the advocates now seem to be gaining ground. Recent polls in Britain show that 72 percent of British subjects favor euthanasia in some circumstances. An astonishing 76 percent of respondents to a poll taken late last year in France said they would like the law changed to decriminalize mercy killings.Reasons for the latest surge of interest in euthanasia are not hard to find. Europeans, like Americans, are now living longer. The average European male now lives to the age of 72, women to almost 80. As Derek Humphrey, a leading British advocate of “rational euthanasia”says, “lingering chronic diseases have replaced critical illnesses as the primary cause of death.”And so the euthanasists have begun to press their case with greater force. They argue that every human being should have the right to “die with dignity”, by which they usually mean the right to escape the horrors of a painful or degrading hospitalization. Most advocates of voluntary euthanasia have argued that the right to die should be accorded only to the terminally and incurably ill, but the movement also includes a small minority who believe in euthanasia for anyone who rationally decides to take his own life.That right is unlikely to get legal recognition any time in the near future. Even in the Netherlands, the proposals now before Parliament would restrict euthanasia to a small number of cases and would surround even those with elaborate safeguards.26. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following is NOT true?A) “Active” euthanasia is regarded as a crime by Dutch law.B) The doctor who carries out euthanasia will be charged.C) An unqualified doctor carrying out euthanasia will be accused.。

As men slowly learn to master disease, control floods, prevent famines and stop wars, fewer people die every year; and in consequence the population of the world is steadily increasing. In 1925 there were about 2000 million people in the world; by the end of the century there may well be over 4000 million.When numbers rise, the extra mouths must be fed. New lands must be brought under cultivation, or land already farmed made to yield larger crops. In some areas the accessible land is largely so intensively cultivated that it will be difficult to make it provide more food. In some areas the population is so dense that the land is parceled out in units too tiny to allow for much improvement in farming methods. Were a large part of this farming population drawn off into industrial occupation, the land might be farmed much more productively by modern methods.There is now a race for science, technology, and industry to keep the output of food rising faster than the number of people to be fed. New strains of crops are being developed which will thrive in unfavorable climates; there are now farms beyond the Arctic Circle in Siberia and North America; irrigation and dry-farming methods bring arid lands under the plough, dams hold back the waters of great rivers to ensure water for the fields in all seasons and to provide electric power for new industries; industrial chemistry provides fertilizers to suit particular soils; airplanes spray crops to destroy locusts and many plant diseases.

They use what he terms a “restricted〞 code of speech, whereas most teachers use an “elaborated〞 code, which is familiar to middle-class children.So it seems that working-class children fail to take full advantage of the educational system, not because they are less bright than middle-class children, but because the language of the classroom is alien to them.46.What do you know from the first paragraph?A.B.Middle-class children do as well as working-class children at schoolC.School teachers and middle-class children bear less similarity in language.D.School teachers and working-class children bear more similarities in language.47.Middle-school children do better at school because .A.they have learned much more than working-class children before they go to schoolB.they are brighter than working-class childrenC.school teachers give them more helpD.they can understand their teachers better than the working-class children in class48.The word “alien〞 in the last paragraph means .A.difficult to understandB. strangeC. newD. stupid49.The gap between working-class children and their teachers can be narrowed only by .A.giving them more helpB.C.improving their languageD.giving them more homework to do50.T he author’s main purpose in writing this article is to .A.argue a beliefB. describe a phenomenonC. be entertainingD. propose a solution科目代码:211 科目名称:翻译硕士英语第 4 页共 7 页Passage 3Every year thousands of people are arrested and taken to court for shop-lifting. In Britain alone, about HK $ 3 000 000’s worth of goods are stolen from shops every week. This amounts to something like HK $ 150 million a year, and represents about 4 per cent of the shops’ total stock. As a result of this “shrinkage〞 as the shops call it, the honest public has to pay higher prices.Shoplifters can be divided into three main categories: the professionals, the deliberate amateur, and the people who just can’t help themselves. The professionals do not pose much of a problem for the store detectives, who, assisted by closed circuit television, two-way mirrors and various other technological devices, can usually cope with them. The professionals tend to go for high value goods in parts of the shops where security measures are tightest. And, in any case, they account for only a small percentage of the total losses due to shoplifting.The same applies to the deliberate amateur who is, so to speak, a professional in training. Most of them get caught sooner or later, and they are dealt with severely by the courts.The real problem is the person who gives way to a sudden temptation and is in all other respects an honest and law-abiding citizen. Contrary to what one would expect, this kind of shoplifter is rarely poor. He does not steal because he needs the goods and cannot afford to pay for them. He steals because he simply cannot stop himself. And there are countless others who, because of age, sickness or plain absent-mindedness, simply forget to pay for what they take from the shops. When caught, all are liable to prosecution, and the decision whether to send for the police or not is in the hands of the store manager.51.W hy does the honest public have to pay higher prices when they go to the shops?A.There is “shrinkage〞 in market values.B.Many goods are not available.C.Goods in many shops lack variety.D.There are many cases of shoplifting.52.The third group of people steal things because theyA.are mentally illB. are quite absent-mindedC. can not resist the temptationD. can not afford to pay for goods53.According to the passage, law-abiding citizens .A.can possibly steal things because of their povertyB.can possibly take away good without payingC.have never stolen goods from the supermarketsD.are difficult to be caught when they steal things科目代码:211 科目名称:翻译硕士英语第 5 页共 7 页54.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the main types of shop-lifting?A.A big percentage of the total losses are caused by the professionals.B.The deliberate amateurs will be punished severely if they get caught.C.People would expect that those w ho can’t help themselves are poor.D.The professionals don’t cause a lot of trouble to the store detectives.55.T he aircraft hijack situation is used in order to show that .A.“ the professionals do not pose much of a problem for the stores〞B.some people “simply forget to pay for what they take from the shops〞C.“the honest public has to pay higher prices〞D.the third type of shoplifters are dangerous peoplePassage 4Recent findings in the southeast corner of Washington indicate that prehistoric hunters roamed the area 10 000 years ago, and perhaps even earlier. Remains of Marmes Man uncovered at the site, among the oldest ever found on the North American continent, consist of three separate, broken skullcaps and other skeletal material from more than one individual. The site itself, a cave located above the convergence of the Snake and Palouse Rivers, records the longest span of human existence found in the New World, and hints that man has lived in North America for close to 13 000 years.Although radiocarbon dating places samples unearthed near Lewisville, Texas, as early as 38 000 years ago, some archeologists contend that accidental fires rather than human hearths produced the charcoal. Pieces of stone that may have been fashioned for choppers and scrapers have also been found at Lewisville and other extremely ancient sites, but these, too, are disputed.56.Probable remains of Marmes Man were uncovered .A.near Lewisville, TexasB. in Washington State UniversityC. in a caveD. underneath a river57.According to the passage, how many years has man lived in North A merica?A. 10 000—13 000B. 12 000--- 13 000C. 19 000---25 000D. 30 00058.All of the following were found at the site in Washington EXCEPTA.broken skullcapsB. fossil animal bonesC. a bone needleD. a primitive wheel59.The passage implies that ancient man probably knewA.how to build a wheelB. how to sewC. how to readD. none of the above科目代码:211 科目名称:翻译硕士英语第 6 页共 7 页60.T he article indicates thatA.the Snake River area has a great deal of rainB.the expedition took place at Washington State UniversityC.the archeologists used needles as toolsD.radiocarbon is used to determine the age of plant or animal originIV.Translation (30 points)Directions: Translate the following passages.
