2012年3月上海高级口译英译汉真题
2012年3月上海高级口译英译汉真题(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、英译汉(总题数：1，分数：100.00)1. August was once a time for dreaming, wandering the empty streets of this city, reading silly-season newspaper stories after a leisurely lunch, gazing at square where fountains plashed and the pregnant or the old chatted on benches at dusk. Then something happened. The world speeded up. Stress levels soared. Idle moments evaporated. Egos expanded. Money outpaced politics. Rages surged. August aborted this year. It morphed into the serious season. The beach lost out to the barricades. A time of outrage is upon us. Now a feeling has grown in Western societies that uncontrollable forces are at work shrinking possibility. History has never seen a global power shift as radical as the current one that managed to be peaceful. Growth, jobs, expansion, excitement-and, yes, possibility-lie in the great non-Western arc from China through India to South Africa and Brazil. The world has been turned upside down. What we are witnessing is how shaken Western societies are by such inversion. As new powers emerge, globalization has altered the relationship between capital and labor in the former's favor. Returns on capital have proved higher relative to wages. The gap between rich and poor has become a gulf. The only people who walked away unscathed from the great financial binge were its main architects and greatest beneficiaries: such as bankers and financiers. This, too, is fueling a time of outrage that has left western politicians chasing shadows.（分数：100.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：( 八月曾是一段梦想的时光，任你倘佯在这座城市空空荡荡的街道上，悠闲自得地享用午餐后，读读无聊季节无重大新闻的报纸，黄昏时分，凝神看着广场上喷泉飞溅，孕妇、老人在长凳上闲聊家常。

The most important reason why people are moving to cities 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, according to recent statistics, no more than 15 percent of all jobs are connected to farming. Jobs now are being created in information technology, manufacturing and service areas, such as tourism and financing, and all of these new jobs are in or around major cities.译文：世界人口大规模的城市化在世界范围内达到史无前例的规模。

上海中级口译英译汉真题2016年3月(总分：100.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、英译汉(总题数：1，分数：100.00)1. Education has long been embraced as one of the best ways to combat inequality. Yet, this faith in the power of education has begun to falter. There is mounting evidence that improving our education system won’t do much to fix inequality. Modern inequality isn’t driven by the gap between college-educated workers and high school grads. All the action is at the top of the income ladder, where the extremely rich have pulled away from everyone else. Since 1979, wages for the top 1 percent in the United States have grown nine times faster than wages for the bottom 90 percent. That’s not a tale of the well-educated doing better than the less-well-educated. It’s about the super-rich out－earning everyone else—including college graduates, who haven’t gotten a raise in over a decade. So what doesn’t seem to work is a focus on improving education. Even if we could dramatically increase the number of college graduates, or greatly expand access to high-quality education, the United States would likely remain an extremely unequal place, a country where even college grads are being left behind.（分数：100.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：( 教育，长期以来一直被奉为消除不平等现象的最佳途径之一。

Only by drawing lessons from history can the world avoid repeating past calamity. We should view history with awe and human conscience. The past cannot be changed, but the future can be shaped.

翻译讲解和上海历年翻译真题2016年
高考英语翻译技巧“四步法”翻译不仅在高考英语主观题中占不小的比例，而且翻译能力还直接影响考生在作文中的表现。
要在翻译题中拿到高分，除了扎实的语言基本功外，还要在平时的练习中训练一套翻译四步法，以确保准确率。
例如：“我向她请教，她总是有求必应，而且解释得令我十分满意。
(satisfaction)”(下文以“例句”来指代)为例，来演示这“四步法”。
第一步：一读中文，理清结构，搭好总体框架中文必须仔细读，尤其是最后两句翻译句子，它们大都在句子结构上提高了难度。
读什么？读出句子结构：对于简单句，辨别出主谓宾，分清定语、同位语和状语；对于并列句，记住两个语法意义上独立的分句，须由连词连接起来；对于复合句，须区分定语从句，名词性从句以及状语从句。
高考翻译中的长句子都是纸老虎，大家只要判断句子之间的逻辑关系，然后用合适的连接词（或者介词短语，非谓语动词等）把句子给连接起来，整个句子就搞定了。
在例句中，我们就可以读出“我向她请教”是时间状语从句，为了呼应之后的“总是”，我们可选择“每当”(every time)来充当连词。
在后面的主句中，“有求必应”与“解释”之间的关系是并列的，需要一个连词来连接这两个动词，即可以对应“而且”运用“not only……but also……”的结构，也可以简化为一个连词“and”。
第二步：结合中文，决定关键词的位置和用法重视所给关键词，对其所考查的各类词的用法或特殊句型，如倒装句、It句型和There be句型等，可以先有一个大致的预测。
在此基础上，回到原文，“对症下药”，保证它与原文的契合度。
同时，也要绝对忠于所给词的词性及大小写。
在例句中，结合“令我十分满意”，联想到以往常用的to my surprise/excitement,所给关键词可应用为to my full satisfaction.第三步：二读中文，确定动词时态及语态除了所给关键词外，句中的动词也应关注。
如果句中有两个或两个以上的动词，那么除了一个做主句谓语外，剩下的不是做并列句或复合句中的谓语，就是做非谓语。

This year is also expected to be the hottest on record, with the temperatures so far in 2015 beating past records " by a country mile", the meteorologists said. The World Meteorological Organization further announced yesterday that 2016 would be the first year in which the average concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be above 400 parts per million(ppm), because of the continued burning of fossil fuels. The three landmark indicators were announced three weeks before a crunch UN summit in Paris starting on 30 November where world leaders including Barack Obama, Xi Jinping and David Cameron will try to reach a legally binding and universal deal on cutting emissions. The Met Office' s data from January to September 2015 already shows global average temperatures have risen by 1 °C compared to pre-industrial times, for the first time. The increase is due to the "unequivocal" influence of increasing carbon emissions combined with the El Nino climate phenomenon currently under way. The Met Office expects the full-year temperature for 2015 to remain above the 1 °C level. In contrast, it was below 0. 9C in 2014, marking a sharp increase in climate terms. "This is the first time we're set to reach the 1 °C marker and it's clear that it is human influence driving climate into uncharted territory," said Prof Stephen Belcher, "We have passed the halfwaywill increase pressure on negotiators to deliver a strong deal to avert the catastrophic global warming expected beyond 2 °C of warming. "Mother Nature has been kind to the French, but it should not be that way," said Prof Myles Allen from Oxford, referring to the impetus the milestones should give to the Paris conference. "International negotiations on climate change should not be in hock to what happens ... in the preceding nine months." In any case, he said: "The last three months of 2015 would have to be really odd to change [projections of unprecedented warming for 2015] as we are beating the records by a country mile. " Amber Rudd, the UK's energy and climate change secretary, said: "Climate change is one of the most serious threats we face to our economic prosperity, poverty eradication and global security. Pledges to reduce emissions made by countries [are] just the beginning. We need to ensure that as the costs of clean energy fall, countries can be more ambitious with their climate targets. " Climate change is clear in the Central England Temperature record, which is the longest in the world and stretches back to 1772, said Ed Hawkins, a climate scientist at the University of Reading. "We can see the fingerprint of global warming in our own backyard. Central England has warmed 20% more than the global average and we expect that to continue," he said. The impacts of climate change have been analysed in other research presented yesterday by the UK's Avoid project. It found that, compared with unchecked global warming, keeping the temperature rise below 2 °C would reduce heatwaves by 89%, flooding by 76%, cropland decline by 41% and water stress by 26%. Joanna Haigh, professor of atmospheric physics said the last UN climate summit in Denmark in 2009 failed, making Paris crucial in preventing widespread damage: "Copenhagen was generally considered a complete disaster, so it is very important that countries get together at Paris. " Belcher said 4 °C of warming would be much more harmful than simply doubling the impacts expected with 2 °C. He said the European heatwave of 2003 with 70,000 deaths would be "a rather mild summer" in a 4 °C world. The Met Office report also showed that two-thirds of the world's "carbon budget" —the maximum CO 2 that can be emitted over time to keep below 2 °C—had been used up by the end of 2014. But only one-third of the sea-level rise expected from 2 °C of warming—60cm by 2100—has so far occurred, because of the time it takes for large ice sheets to melt. Prof Andrew Shepherd, at the University of Leeds, said a recent NASA study indicating that ice mass grew in Antarctica from 2003-2008 was contradicted by 57 other studies and had just a 5-10% chance of being a correct prediction.1. Which of the following can serve as the title of the passage?A Climate change: Threat to Prosperity, Poverty Eradication and Global SecurityB The last major UN climate summit in Denmark: a complete disasterD The Unpredictable Impacts of the Rising Global Average Temperature by 1 °C2. The author uses all of the following as indicators of unprecedented warming EXCEPT that______.A global average temperatures have first risen by 1 °C compared with pre-industrial timesB global temperatures of 2015 are expected to be the hottest, beating all past recordsC the influence of increasing CO 2 emissions combined with the El Nino climate phenomenon has become the strongestD the average concentration of CO 2 in the air would be above 400ppm in 20163. The quotation marks used in the expression "the 'unequivocal' influence of increasing carbon emissions"(para. 2)mainly tell us that such influence______.A is clear-cut and fully supported by evidenceB might be much more complicated and need more investigationC will never be clarified and well definedD cannot be concluded through mere observation and analysis4. The phrase "be in hock to" from paragraph 4 can best be paraphrased as______.A be under the control withB be attributed toC be on the shelf withD be confined to5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A In a 4 °C world, the destruction would be more than doubling the impacts with 2 °C.B The "carbon budget" of the world would be used up long before 2100.C The prediction of 2003-2008 ice mass growth in Antarctica was overoptimistic.D It would take more time to reach the sea-level rise expected from 2 °C of warming.I once attended a Downing Street reception where Tony Blair invited questions from leading magazine editors. One woman, from a big consumer title, asked if New Labour had plans to tax one-use plastic bags that were destroying the environment. Blair pulled a mock-baffled "Hey, guys, I'm busy running the country here" face and answered in a tone of purest condescension. This was around 2005, a few years after Ireland,keep a jute sack or string shopper under their desk, and this young, adaptable, upbeat nation had cut the number of bags cluttering Irish hedgerows by 94 %. It is such an easy, clever bit of nudge politics, which has already worked right across northern Europe.(Is it not strange that we each use 158 plastic bags a year but a Dane only four?)And yet here we are in England—four years after Wales, two after Northern Ireland, a year after Scotland—bringing it in at last on Monday. And unlike the devolved nations, England can't just keep it simple and charge 5p for bags in all stores, but only those with more than 250 employees. Corner shops in Aberdeen have coped, yet those in London can't. The light from an explosion in deep space can take billions of years to be seen on Earth. And the gap between a social ill being identified, backed by irrefutable scientific evidence, and parliament changing the law, is often almost as long. That cigarettes are poisonous and young lungs fragile have been beyond doubt since the 1950s, yet it only became illegal for smokers to inflict their fumes upon children in cars this week. Even now, some libertarians grumble that enjoying an après school pick-up fag is every parent's right and, besides, haven't the police got better things to do? Yes, they have. But, still, progress is worth defending. And improvements in our lives are rarely brought about by vast, sweeping changes but by small, incremental shifts. Those simple life-savers, the Clean Air Acts, seatbelt and motorcycle helmet legislation: all regarded as quirky and inconvenient in their time. Every generation looks upon the unthinking habits of its parents and asks: why the hell did you do that? In Mad Men Don Draper is shown taking a last swig of his beer in a picnic, then lobbing the bottle deep into the forest. According to creator Matthew Weiner this was the show's most controversial scene: horrified young people would ask him if their grandparents were really so crass? But in early-1960s America there was little stigma in dumping your trash. Back in the 1970s being capable of driving when lashed was a prized adult skill, we let our dogs defile parks and would have thought anyone who scooped up still-warm poop in little bags totally mad. And maybe we will look back at the plastic bag era in similar terms. How could these people use up all the oil, choke turtles and block flood defences, just to make carrying shopping home easier? A non-brand plastic bag flapping about on a tree, too high up to reach, is the ensign of our age. It is the saddest, most hopeless manifestation of a disposable age built upon laziness and greed. In the film American Beauty the misfit Ricky videos a bag dancing in the wind: the peculiar poignancy comes from seeing the most unloved, worthless object on Earth appearing to express joy. "Do you need a bag?" I've come to resent that question. Because I don't want to say "yes". But my handbag is small. I don't want to crease this book I've bought as a present. And sometimes a purchase without nice packaging feels less of a treat. But usually I say "no". Ten virtue points for that. Twenty for remembering to carry my bags-for-life from the car. It is irksome to forget, then watch the checkout lady unfurl dozensjust pretence of virtue. The 5p charge may reduce bags, and in Scotland usage has declined by 80 % in a year: that' s 147 million fewer. But the oceans are already clogged with every other type of plastic: vast islands of detritus, micro-particles of broken-up Evian bottles and biscuit wrappers absorbed by sea life and then, in due course, us. But sometimes laws are there as much for society to declare intent as to have an effect. With smoking in cars I wonder if it is not a proxy for more sweeping legislation that would forbid low-life mums in supermarkets screaming swear words at their sobbing toddlers or pouring Coke in a baby's tippy cup. It is a way of saying, we are watching, we have standards: your parenting is being judged. We'd like to police your home: but we can't, so let's start with your car. Likewise, the plastic bag law is a displacement activity for the bigger, dreary, ecological changes that are too daunting for us to make. Those five pences are tithes to the Church of Green. And dragging home our hessian totes of virtue we can feel less hopeless. The world is broken: but don't blame me.6. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A England is following Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Holland in banning plastic bags.B Small changes in our habits can bring great improvements in our lives.C Looking back, we should feel angry at plastic bag habit.D Future generations will not wonder why it took so long to enforce plastic bag law.7. Why does the author mention simple life-savers, the Clean Air Acts, seatbelt and motorcycle helmet legislation in the passage?A These laws and regulations have faced much disagreement and confrontation.B They represent the sweeping changes in our life habits and styles.C They are considered strange and inconvenient by many people even today .D These small changes have brought improvements in our lives and environment.8. Which of the following best explains the word "crass" in the sentence "horrified young people would ask him if their grandparents were really so crass?"(para. 3)?A Stupid and unrefined.B Obstinate and arbitrary.C Bold and direct.D Lazy and greedy.9. The author used the expression "the ensign of our age"(para. 4)______.B to show the arduous task of environmental protection against plastic bagsC to tell how the future generations will view the current eraD to display her pessimistic view towards the innate weakness of humanity10. Which of the following best paraphrases the sentence "Those five pences are tithes to the Church of Green. "(para. 7)?A Those five pences will bring about dramatic ecological changes.B Those five pences show our small contribution to the environment protection.C Those five pences display our strong will to stop the environment pollution.D Those five pences will stop the world from falling apart.One thing is clear after the tragic death of Freddie Gray, the young African-American man who was fatally injured while in police custody in Baltimore last month: we cannot fix the problems of economic justice in this country without addressing racial justice. The deck is stacked against low-income Americans—African American and Latinos in particular. As a newly released report from a pair of Harvard academics has found, just being born in a poor part of Baltimore—or Atlanta, Chicago, or any number of other urban areas—virtually ensures that you'll never make it up the socioeconomic ladder. Boys from low income households who grow up in the kind of beleaguered, mostly minority neighborhoods like the one Gray was from will earn roughly 25% less than peers who moved to better neighborhoods as children. So much for the American Dream. This has big implications. Income inequality is shaping up to be the key economic issue of the 2016 campaign. If you have any doubt, consider that both Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio, who declared their candidacies in the past few weeks, are already staking out positions. Clinton billed herself as the candidate for the "everyday American," calling for higher wages and criticizing bloated CEO salaries. Meanwhile, Rubio said he wants the Republican—which, he said, is portrayed unfairly as "a party that doesn't care about the lower class" —to remake itself into "the champion of the working class. " What neither candidate has done yet is directly connect the recent spate of violence to the fact that the economic ladder no longer works for a growing number of Americans. Raising the federal minimum wage is just a first step. As Thomas Piketty showed in his best-selling book on inequality, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, creating a system of capitalism that more equitably distributes wealth is our biggest challenge now. A few extra dollars an hour will help minimum-wage workers(a group in which minorities are overrepresented), but it won't address deeper economic inequality. And as a growing body of research from outfits like the Brookings Institution has shown, more inequality means less opportunity. As Brookingsthem. " The dirty secret of America in 2015 is that the wealth gap between whites and everyone else is far worse than most people would guess. A 2014 study by Duke University and the Center for Global Policy Solutions, found that the median amount of liquid wealth(assets that can easily be turned into cash)held by African-American households was $ 200. For Latino households it was $ 340. The median for white households: $23,000. One reason for the difference is that a disproportionate number of nonwhites, along with women and younger workers of all races, have little or no access to formal retirement-savings plans. Another is that they were hit harder in the mortgage crisis, in part because housing is where the majority of Americans, especially nonwhites, keep most of their wealth, In this sense, the government's policy decision to favor lenders over homeowners in the 2008 bailouts favored whites over people of color. That's bad news for a country that will be "majority minority" by 2043, according to Maya Rockeymoore, president of the Center for Global Policy Solutions. The U. S. economy continues to be stuck in a slow, volatile recovery. Lack of consumer demand driven by stagnant or falling wages, and decreased opportunity for many Americans, is what many economists believe behind the paltry growth. Given that 70% of the U. S. economy is driven by consumer demand, it's a problem that will eventually affect everyone's bottom line, rich and poor. How to fix it? We need to think harder about narrowing the gap between those at the bottom and the top. If most people, especially lower-income individuals and minorities, keep the bulk of their wealth in housing, we should rethink lending practices and allow for a broader range of credit metrics(which tend to be biased toward whites)and lower down payments for good borrowers. Rethinking our retirement policies is crucial too. Retirement incentives work mainly for whites and the rich. Minority and poor households are less likely to have access to workplace retirement plans, in part because many work in less formal sectors like restaurants and child care. Another overdue fix: we should expand Social Security by lifting the cap on payroll taxes so the rich can contribute the same share of their income as everyone else. Doing both would be a good first step. But going forward, economic and racial fairness can no longer be thought of as separate issues.11. What is the main purpose of the author to introduce the tragic death of Freddie Gray?A To reveal the brutality of American police and the unfair judicial system.B To expose the dark sides of the system of police custody.C To stress the significance of combining both economic justice and racial justice.D To introduce the relationship between socioeconomic ladder and the American Dream.12. In introducing Thomas Piketty's book Capital in the Twenty-First Century, the author is trying totell us that______.A more equitable distribution of wealth will lead to a better economic ladder for allB both presidential candidates have realized the importance of building the economic ladder for the poorC raising the federal minimum wage is the key to settling economic inequalityD economic equality can only be achieved through the elimination of capitalism13. To expose the dirty secret of America in 2015, the passage provides all of the following supporting evidences EXCEPT that______.A the lowest median amount of liquid wealth held by African-American householdsB the absence of formal retirement savings plans for too many nonwhitesC the biggest losses in the mortgage crisis suffered by people of colorD the highest unemployment suffered by the poor since the 2008 economic crisis14. The expression "majority minority" by 2043(para. 5)most probably refers to______.A the union of the majority whites and colored peoples of minority groupsB the increasing confrontation between majority and minority groupsC the population of minority groups first exceeding that of the majority whitesD the ratio of majority and minority groups first achieving balance15. Which of the following is NOT included in the suggestion of narrowing the gap between the poor and the rich?A To improve lending practices in the mortgage system.B To provide special aid to those who work in less formal sectors.C To expand Social Security by lifting the cap of payroll taxes.D To improve the policies of retirement incentives.How is it that the louder the calls for "civility," the less civil the behavior? On American campuses today, the call for civility has become the cry of the craven. So basic, so decent, so safe does civility sound that it's hard to imagine anyone's opposing it. Until, that is, the uncivilized rise up, at which point—from the University of Missouri to Claremont McKenna and Yale—those in charge either acknowledge their guilt or hurl themselves onto the funeral pyre of resignation prepared for them. As Hillary Clinton alluded toin Saturday night's Democratic debate, for some Americans the latest student unrest awakens fond memories of the 1960s. In truth those were far more tumultuous times, with the frenzies of the sexual revolution, the civil-rights movement and the Vietnam War all converging on our campuses at about the same time. The more dispiriting comparison with the 1960s, alas, has less to do with the self-indulgence of the young than the learned fecklessness of the older and presumably wiser. Across the country the coddled activists with iPhones have rendered college presidents, chancellors and deans unable or unwilling to challenge the moral superiority of the mob. A pity, because even the 1960s gave us examples worth emulating. Start with 1968 at San Francisco State College. In the teeth of raging protests that had already claimed the scalps of his two immediate predecessors, a linguistics professor, S. I. Hayakawa, became acting president—and a national hero when he climbed atop a sound truck and ripped out wires to the speakers protesters were using to shout him down. Or John Silber. When activists in 1972 tried to block students from meeting with Marine recruiters, the Boston University president showed up with a bullhorn to direct those interfering with their fellow students' right to interview where they should line up to be arrested. Perhaps most successful was the Rev. Theodore Hesburgh of Notre Dame. Though by this time a dove on Vietnam, he believed the universities played an important role in training the nation' s military officers. At one point he prevented protesters from burning down the school' s ROTC building. In November 1968, protesters staged a lie-in aimed at blocking other students from job interviews with Dow Chemical and the CIA. Father Hesburgh was appalled by the idea of forcing a fellow student to walk across your body because you disagree with him. Scarcely three months later, he would issue a letter to the entire campus community—a letter reprinted in this paper and The New York Times. The Hesburgh letter recognized "the validity of protest" but made clear that any group that "substituted force for rational persuasion, be it violent or nonviolent," would be given 15 minutes to meditate. Students who persisted would have their IDs confiscated and be "suspended from this community." Father Hesburgh went on: "There seems to be a current myth that university members are not responsible to the law, and that somehow the law is the enemy, particularly those whom society has constituted to uphold and enforce the law. I would like to insist here that all of us are responsible to the duly constituted laws of this University community and to all of the laws of the land. There is no other guarantee of civilization versus the jungle or mob rule, here or elsewhere. " The Times called his letter " the toughest policy on student disruptions yet by any major American university in the course of recent disorders. " An editorial in this paper further noted Father Hesburgh's warning that if the universities didn't get their act together, they would invite "unwholesome reactions" from others including government. History has by and large vindicated Father Hesburgh. At the time, it was a different story. A Wall Street Journal news story reported a " majority" of university。

3月英语高级口译考试真题
3月英语高级口译考试真题(3)SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TESTDirections: Translate of the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.The popular view when discussing urban transportation in American cities to day is to decry its sorry state. Newspapers and journals are filled with talk of an “urban transportation crisis,” of the “difficulties of getting from here to there,” and so on at great length. Matters are reported to be getting worse - and very quickly. Everyone has his own favorite traumatic experience to report: of the occasion when many of the switches froze on New York’s commuter railroads; of the sneak snowstorm in Boston that converted thirty-minute commuter trips into seven hour ordeals; of the extreme difficulties in Chicago and other Midwestern cities when some particularly heavy and successive snowstorms were endured.One reason for the talk of an urban transportation crisis in the United States today perhaps lies in a failure to meet anticipations. Many commuters expected to reduce their commuting times as systems improved, but instead found themselves barely able to maintain the status quo in terms of time requirements. Another reason for talk of crisis, almost certainly, is that the rate of improvement in the performance of urban transportation systems during rush hours has been markedly inferior to that expected during off-peak hours. Specifically, the ability to move quickly about American cities during non-rush hors has improved in a truly phenomenal fashion.SECTION 4: LISTENING TESTPart A: Note-taking And Gap-fillingDirections: In this part of the test you will hear a short talk.

诸多欧美学者认为，西方骄傲自大的“中心主义”蒙蔽了其心智，面对中国的成功，西方应及时反思和学习。
在别人认同“中国经济前景光明论”时，我们自己不能唱衰自己，误判断世界发展大势和我国处境，低估自身发展潜力，妄自菲薄，丧失信心。
当然，我们也要有忧患意识，居安思危，要看到各种风险和挑战，不能高枕无忧、无所作为。
多数机遇都不是不争自来的，机遇需要我们自己去创造和把握。
只要我们继续走自己的路，谦虚谨慎，开拓进取，攻坚克难，不断加强和发展自身的优势，我们的日子就会越过越好。

Many European and American scholars argue that the west’s arrogant self-centralism has overshadowed its intellect and the western world should h ave timely reflectionon China’s success and learn from it. While others sympathize with the bright prospect of Chinese economy, we shouldn’t despise ourselves nor misjudges the developing trends of the world or our own circumstances, underestimating our potential for development and belittling ourselves to the loss of confidence. Of course, we should be aware of the difficulties and hardships even in good times of stability and prosperity to foresee the risks and challenges ahead instead of resting easy into inaction. Though many opportunities come without scramble, we should strive to create and seize them by ourselves. As long as we forge aheadin the modest and enterprising spirit, conquering difficulties and strengthening our own edges along the way, we are bound to live in greater prosperity.)解析：。

Closed all day on Thursday, chain stores all across the nation open early on Friday. Some stores open at 12:01 Friday morning, while others open at 4 a.m. Some "sleepyhead" stores, like Target this year, don"t open their doors on Friday until 6 a.m. From Friday to the day before Christmas, this is the season when businesses make as much as 25 percent of their annual revenue. This season puts many businesses "in the black"—that is, into profitability—for the year.Reporters from local TV stations interview people who camp out in front of stores a day or two before the doors open on Friday. These people patiently wait in line to get products that are discounted 50 percent or more."Oh, we have fun," said one camper. "We bring games to play, we watch TV and order lots of pizza, and we meet interesting people. And, most important of all, we save big bucks!" The catch, of course, is that only a very small number of products are available at the largest discounts. Regardless, each store has plenty of other items that are reduced from 10 to 50 percent—saving shoppers from $10 to $400 per item—to entice Americans to shop.Not all Americans appreciate this frenzy of shopping. William Graham, pastor of the Church of the Risen Jesus, wants to rename Black Friday. "We want to call it Remember Jesus Friday. People should start the season with the right attitude. Christmas time has become a Season of Shopping. We want to make it a Season of Giving. And we don"t mean giving iPods, DVDs, flat screen TVs, and other crap. We mean giving your back, your mind, and your hands. Help an old lady clean up her house. Teach a kid how to read. Visit sick people in the hospital or in nursing homes. Pick up the trash in your neighborhood. Give blood to the Red Cross. Do volunteer work for charities. Celebrate Christmas by remembering Jesus and forgetting Santa Claus."What time do some "sleepyhead" stores open their doors on the day after Thanksgiving?A.Because they want to get products discounted 50% or more. √B.Because they want to camp in front of the store to play games.C.Because they can meet interesting friends there.D.Because they can save more than $400.解析：[听力原文]Why do many people wait a day or two outside the store before that Friday?A.It should be a season of shopping gifts for families and friends.B.It should be a season of giving and taking.C.It should be a season of helping others. √D.It should be a season of remembering Santa Claus.解析：[听力原文]What should be Thanksgiving season like according to William Graham?A.William Graham thinks Christmas season has been commercialized.B.Shoppers may spend as much as $400 on Friday after Thanksgiving. √C.Discounted items are available in stores during this season.D.Many businesses rely on Black Friday to make more profits.解析：[听力原文]Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the report?（分数：4.00）A.Because he plans to work for a national company.B.Because he wants Jenny to give him some advice. √C.Because Jenny speaks good English.D.Because Jenny often attends interviews in English.解析：[听力原文]George: Hi Jenny. I"m thinking of applying for a job with a multinational company, but I"m worried about having an interview in English. Can you give me arty good tips?Jenny: Hmmm. I guess the first thing is to try to make a good impression. We often say, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression".George: That sounds like good advice. But how do I make a good first impression?Jenny: To begin with, you should firmly shake the interviewer"s hand while greeting him or her with a smile. Be sure to keep eye contact, especially when listening to the interviewer. George: Ah, "body language" is really important, isn"t it?Jenny: Yes, it is. The second thing is to have confidence. You get confidence from being prepared. You should learn about the company before the interview and find out what they do, how long they"ve been in business, and what their business motto is, that kind of thing. You should also anticipate possible questions, and think about how you will answer them.George: Should I memorize my answers beforehand?Jenny: No! That may sound mechanical. You should be natural when you speak. Just think about how you want to answer, and choose the right words. That way, you can use the interviewer"s words in your answer, which shows you"ve been listening. Then you"re sure to make a good impression. George: I never thought about that before. You"re really smart, Jenny! But what should I do if I can"t remember an English word when I"m answering a question?Jenny: In that ease, you have to paraphrase. In other words, you have to explain what you want to say. For example, if you forget the word "manufacturing", you can say "making a product" instead. George: That"s very helpful, Jenny. Thanks so much. Ah, one more thing. Should I ask about the salary during the interview?Jenny: No, either let them bring up the topic of money, or else wait for a second interview. If you prepare well, make a good first impression, have confidence, and use English naturally, you"re almost certain to be interviewed again. Good luck!Why does George want to talk to Jenny?A.Shaking hands firmly with interviewers.B.Smiling while greeting the interviewer.C.Keeping eye contact during the interview.D.Memorizing answers beforehand. √解析：[听力原文]Which of the following will not make a good impression on the interviewee?A.Prepare a quick speech to show your confidence.B.Find out as much as possible about the company. √C.Guess the interviewer"s questions and memorize your answers.e some appropriate body language.解析：[听力原文]What preparations should be made before the interview according to Jenny?A.Asking about the salary. √B.Trying to be confident.ing interviewer"s words when answering questions.D.Paraphrasing some words to explain what you want to say.解析：[听力原文]What behavior is considered inappropriate for the interview?（分数：4.00）A.Single-sex schools. √B.Co-educational schools.C.Public schools.D.Famous schools.解析：[听力原文]When you stop and think about your high school or college you have graduated from, were your experiences more positive or negative? Do your feelings of success or failure in that school have anything to do with whether or not your school was single-sex or coeducational? Today, more and more Americans are electing to send their children to single-sex schools because they feel both boys and girls blossom when they study in the company of students of the same sex. They tend to achieve more.For years, only parents who could afford to send their children to private schools, or who had strong religious or cultural reasons, chose single-sex education for their children. For example, Catholic families often sent their children to church schools. Since U. S. public schools are, by law, coeducational and free, single-sex schooling was out of reach for most American families. Today, however, along with costly private schools, public schools are experimenting with the idea of separating the sexes. However, because public schools are not allowed to discriminate on the basis of sex, they have been denied federal support.Girls may be the ones who benefit most from single-sex schooling. Studies have shown that many girls get disappointed in coed classrooms because teachers sometimes pay more attention to boys. Girls" positive, enthusiastic attitude toward their studies tends to disappear as they begin to feel less successful. They start to watch their male peers outperform them in math and science. As boys begin to gain confidence, girls start to lose it. Moreover, adolescence is such a fragile time for girls. As they experience adolescent changes, some girls become depressed, develop an addiction, or suffer from an obsession with weight.To what kind of school do more and more American parents choose to send their children?A.They will be banned from enrollment.B.They will risk losing students.C.They will be denied federal support. √D.They will rank low among schools.解析：[听力原文]What will happen to public schools if they experiment with the idea of separating the sexes?A.Sometimes teachers pay more attention to boys.B.Male students outperform them in math and science.C.Girls start to lose confidence when boys begin to gain it.D.Boys make trouble for them and put them in a fragile condition. √解析：[听力原文]What is NOT a disadvantage for girls in co-educational schooling?A.Romance. √B.Depression.C.Addiction.D.Weight obsession.解析：[听力原文]Which of the following is NOT mentioned as adolescent changes that girl students experience? （分数：4.00）A.The present apartment is noisy.B.The present apartment is not bright.C.The present apartment is far from the university. √D.The present apartment gets no sunshine.解析：[听力原文]Alex: I think I really need to move, Linda. This apartment is too noisy and too dark. There are so many cars going by, but no sun comes through the windows. Do you think it would be easy for me to find a better apartment?Linda: Sure. There are lots of apartments available at this time of year. Which part of the city would you like to live in?Alex: I"d like to stay on the west side, near our university, but I"d also like an apartment near the subway.Linda: Maybe you should consider the Park area. It"s a very convenient location.Alex: Yeah, it sounds good. It"s also near the shopping mall and not far from the airport. Linda: Next you have to think about rent. What price range are you thinking about?Alex: Well, I really can"t pay around 4,500 RMB a month, but I"d like to pay 3,000 if possible. Linda: I think 3,000 is possible if you have a roommate. You could share an apartment with a college student, or maybe a young clerk.Alex: That might be interesting, but I really like my privacy. I need to study Chinese in a quiet place and also sleep in peace every night.Linda: Maybe it"s best for you to pay a little bit more for your own apartment. So, the next step is to decide what kind of apartment you want—how many rooms, what kind of furnishings, stuff like that.Alex: I don"t need any special furnishings, but I certainly want a southern exposure. I like to have a bright, sunny room. One bedroom and one living room is enough, but I really want to have a balcony.Linda: Maybe we"ll get lucky and find something bigger but not expensive. Let"s wait and see. Alex: Okay, now that I know what I want, what do I have to do to actually find an apartment? Linda: I"ll look through some advertisements and make some phone calls.

The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug. Like teenagers, we appear to have gone from knowing nothing about the world to knowing too much all but overnight.The average American teenager sends or receives 75 text messages a day. Since luxury, as any economist will tell you, is a function of scarcity, the children of tomorrow will crave nothing more than freedom, if only for a short while, from all the blinking machines, streaming videos and scrolling headlines that leave them feeling empty and too full all at once.The urgency of slowing down — to find the time and space tothink — is nothing new, of course, and wiser souls have always reminded us that the more attention we pay to the moment, the less time and energy we have to place it in some larger context. “Distraction is the only thing that consoles us for miseries.” the French philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote in the 17th century.” and yet it is itself the greatest of our miseries. “ He also famously remarked that all of man’s **e from his inability to sit quietly in a room alone.SSS_TEXT_QUSTI分值: 100答案:过去，我们因使用生活中无处不在的节时设备而欣喜若狂，但仅仅一代之隔，我们却又由于希望能更多利用时间而对它们敬而远之。

Will having kids soon be out of reach economically for many American families?A recent report from the Center for American Progress found that middle-class families are feeling an unprecedented economic squeeze - caught between stagnating wages and the exploding cost of basics like housing, health care and children's education. Most families, it seems, are getting by on less and living closer to the financial edge to help their kids grow up healthy and get ahead.第二段开篇以设问形式点出文章主体：为什么迫于经济压力，很多美国家庭无法生儿育女?答案的关键词在于“caught between stagnating wages and the exploding cost of basics”The most striking growth in costs to families has been in child care, where expenses have climbed about $200 annually in each of the last dozen years, with nearly tenfold growth since the 1960s. Child care, on average, consumes $1 of every $5 in a family's budget and exceeds the typical rent in every state.本段以细节形式点出抚养儿女的成本增加之快。

一、英译汉(总题数：1，分数：100.00)
1. In barely one generation we’ve moved from exulting in the time-saving devices that have so expanded our lives to trying to get away from them-often in order to make more time. The more ways we have to connect, the more many of us seem desperate to unplug. Like teenagers, we appear to have gone from knowing nothing about the world to knowing too much all but overnight. The average American teenager sends or receives 75 text messages a day. Since luxury, as any economist will tell you, is a function of scarcity, the children of tomorrow will crave nothing more than freedom, if only for a short while, from all the blinking machines, streaming videos and scrolling headlines that leave them feeling empty and too full all at once. The urgency of slowing down — to find the time and space to think — is nothing new, of course, and wiser souls have always reminded us that the more attention we pay to the moment, the less time and energy we have to place it in some larger context. “Distraction is the only thing that consoles us for miseries.” the French philosopher Blaise Pascal wrote in the 17th century.” and yet it is itself the greatest of our miseries. “ He also famously remarked that all of man’s problems come from his inability to sit quietly in a room alone.

__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：( 过去，我们因使用生活中无处不在的节时设备而欣喜若狂，但仅仅一代之隔，我们却又由于希望能更多利用时间而对它们敬而远之。
我们接触到这些设备的途径越多样化，越来越多的人群反而极度渴望远离这些设备。
像青少年一样，仅仅一夜之间，我们似乎已经从对世界一无所知变成无所不知。
美国青少年平均每天发送或接受75个文本信息。
正如经济学家所说，物以稀为贵。
因此如果所有灯光闪烁的机器、川流不息的视频以及滚滚而来的标题让我们下一代的孩子们感到应接不暇却又内心空虚，那么对于他们来说，他们所渴望的只有哪怕片刻的自由。
目前我们迫切需要的是减缓生活节奏，从而找到用于思考的时间和空间，这当然已经是老生常谈。
智者们经常提醒我们需要站在当下，着眼大局，节约时间，节省能源。
17世纪，法国哲学家Blaise Pascal的笔下曾写过：“ 我们如欲从不幸中寻求慰藉，唯一的途径就是分散注意，而这本身就是我们最大的不幸”。
他还提出人类所有的问题均源自无法独居一室，静心思考，这成为了他的又一名言。
