The internet is an excellent source for finding many types of information and for keeping up with new developments in the world. Today, an ever-increasing number of people are using the Internet to dig up related information, conduct business or personal activities, access electronic data basis, send email and network with relatives, colleagues or friends.

Frequently referred to as the information superhighway, the Internet is actually a network of computer networks. You may think of the Internet as analogies to the Interstate

highway system. Just as the Interstate system connects to you different cities via many different routes, the Internet connects computers around the world via a number of

different electronic pathways. At the most basic level, a computer, a modem and the right type of software can a person onto the Internet. Through the Internet, you can access massive amounts of information by accessing computers that are linked together.

Generally speaking, two types of information available on the Internet are the most useful for people. That is conversational resources and reference resources. Conversational resources allow users to have conversations with individuals anywhere in the world.

Mailing lists and news groups are the primary types of conversational resources. Mailing lists include electronic mail whereby the user can read messages, send to any other

individual or group of individuals who have subscribed by having their names and

electronic mail address placed on the sender’s list of addresses. News groups are

essentially electronic bulletin boards. Anyone with Internet access can post an article to the board, and anyone with Internet access can read the board. The reference resources you most frequently encounter are the worldwide web---www, or the web for short. The

web uses HTML---hypertexted markup language to transfer text, sound, graphics and video. Of course, you need browsers to view documents, and navigate through the intricate link structure. The most popular and well known browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Q15-18

The Universal Expo, also known as World's Fair, is one of the three largest events in the world in terms of economic and cultural impact. However, compared with the other two great events: the modern Olympic Games and World Cup, the Expo has the longest history.

In 1851, the first Expo was held in London, under the title "Great Exposition of the works of the industry of all nations".

At the Expo, participating countries will set up their national pavilions in distinctive archetectual styles with a view to attracting business people and tourists all over the world. The cost for building such a pavilion could amount to millions of dollars. But it is often far outweighed by benefits and potential revenues thus generated.

Usually an Expo will last between three and six months. The character of World Expositions has developed through history. Three stages are identified, namely the eras of industralization, of cultural exchange and of nation branding.

The first era covered roughly the period from 1800 to 1950. In these days, World Expositions were especially focused on trade and famous for the display of scientific and techonological advancements.

The second era started with the 1939 New York World's Fair. From then on, World's Fairs became more strongly based on its specific theme of cultural significance. Technology and inventions remained important, but no longer as the principal subjects. The defining elements of the Expos were cross-cultural communications and exchanges.

Finally, in the early 1990s, countries started to use World Expositions more widely and strongly as a platform. to improve their national images. A study shows that improving national image was the primary participation goal for 73% of the countries at Expo 2000. Today's World Expositions embody elements of all three eras. They present new inventions, facilitate cultural exchange and are used for city, region and nation branding. Q15: When was the first World Expo held?

Q16: According to the talk, why do participating countries build their national pavilions at the Expo?

Q17: At Expo 2000, what was the primary goal for the majority of participating countries? Q18: Which of the following is not an element represented in the Expo?

Q19-22

M: 2624344, David Carter speaking.

W: Hello, David. It’s Joyce, Joyce Cook.

M: Hello, Joyce. How are you?

W: I’m very well, thanks. How are you?

M: Oh, not so bad, you know.

W: Good. I rang to ask if you know anything about hotels on the Costa Brava.

M: No, I’m afraid I can’t be a very much help to you there. Why?

W: Well, it’s just that we’ve been thinking of taking the family to Spain this summer. And at this rather late stage, we are trying to organize ourselves a suitable hotel. But I thought that you’d been to the Costa Brava.

M: I have, several times. But I’ve always taken a tent and do it the hard way.

W: Oh, I see. I didn’t realize that.

M: Yes. Great one for the open area, you know.

W: Oh, It must be nice. But we could never contemplate it with our lot. We’re terribly disorganized as a family, you know and we’d be in chaos at no time. And in any case, the car isn’t big enough to get all of us in and camping equipment as well. So we simply must find ourselves a nice hotel where they’ll put up with noisy kids.

M: Hm…You have got a problem. I’ll tell you what, Joyce, it’s just occurred to me Mr. and Mrs. Simpson from over the road have been to that part of Spain several times and I seem to remember them saying they always use some hotel.

W: Do they?

M: Yes. At least I think that’s what they said. I’ll pop round later this evening and if they do know anything that might be of use to you, I’ll get one or the other of them to give you a ring.

W: Would you? That’s very kind of you.

Q 19: Why did Joyce telephone David?

Q 20: Which of the following is true about the man?

Q 21: What is Joyce’s problem according to the man?

Q 22: What does David promise to do in the evening?

Q23-26

We are so used to our life on the surface of the earth that it is not easy for our minds to break free of all the ideas that we take for granted. For example, we can feel things are heavy, so we think of weight as being a fixed quality in an object. But actually, it is not fixed at all. If you could take a one-pound packet of butter four thousand miles out from the earth, it would weigh only a quarter of a pound. The reason for such a change of weight is this: all objects have a natural attraction for all other objects. This is called gravitational attraction, but this power of attraction between two objects gets weaker as they get farther apart. So the weight of an object on the surface of the earth is not the same as its weight 4000 miles out in space. What about the weight of a one-pound of butter on the surface of the moon? There won’t be attraction between the butter and the moon, but the butter will weigh only about 1/6 as much as it does on the earth. This is because the moon is so much smaller than the earth. The amount of a gravitational pull that a body produces

depends on the amount of material in it. A packet of butter has a gravitational pull of its own, but it is very small in relation to the pull of something as large as the moon or the earth.

Q23: According to the speaker, what quality of an object is taken for granted by people? Q24: How much will a pound of butter weigh if it is brought 4000 miles into space?

Q25: What is the gravitational attraction?

Q26: Why does an object weigh much less on the moon than it does on the earth?

Q27-30

M: Hellen, come and look at this.

W: Oh! Is this the new catalogue?

M: Yes, it is. I had a design by an advertising agency this year.

W: It’s beautiful. I love the colors. It’s certainly going to make everybody take notice of our products.

M: well, I think they did a good job. I’m going to get several thousand extra copies printed for the Expo. That is coming up this spring.

W: I’m sure we can use them at the Expo. But do we have enough money in the budget for them?

M: No, but I think I can get the finance office to approve our budget supplement.

W: when they see this, those certainly be impressed. Are you going to be able to get all the colors we produced?

M: Oh yes, it wouldn’t be nearly as effective without them

W: When will it be ready? Are you going to have it in time?

M: I’m going to see Mrs. Carter in the finance office this afternoon. If she says we can go over the budget, I will get the catalogue printed right away. They will be ready in a couple of days.

W: you have to mail most of those to our regular customers, won’t you?

M: we will need a lot of them for the mailing, but there will be enough left for you to give out at the Expo.

W: I hope so, because this catalogue is a real eye-catcher.

M: but don’t worry about it. I’m sure I can make Mrs. Carter see why we need a little more money for the extra copies.

W: I think anyone will be able to see what a wonderful catalogue this is.

Q27: what are the man and woman talking about?

Q28: what is the speaker’s major concern?

Q29: when will the man see Mrs. Carter in the finance office?

Q30: what is the finance office expected to do?

Listening and Translation

1. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me, but never forced me into doing anything I didn’t want to do.

2. Weddings in the United States vary greatly, there are weddings in the church，on mountain tops or even on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests. But no matter where and how, they all include certain traditional customs.

3. According to government statistics, in 1990, there were twice as many men smokers as women smokers in the country. But now, women smokers have far outnumbered men smokers.

4. Since it is a big order, I’ll accept your price of $ 8.50. However, it is a very special offer and it leaves us little profit.

5. Communication is much more than speaking and reading. True communication takes place when an understanding has been transferred from one party to another. Therefore, communication can be defined as the transfer of information.

1. America is a nation on wheels. Most Americans are car owners, and some are even obsessive about the subject. They can spend hours discussing whether to buy a foreign car or an American car, and deciding on the best family car or the best sports car. Car repair is also a popular topic. You can participate in their discussion by talking about cars you have owned or by sharing information you’ve read in automotive magazines such as “car and driver”or “popular mechanics”.

2. Not long ago, individuals joined an organization and often stayed with it for their entire working career. And organizations frequently rewarded loyal employees. However, this concept of organizational loyalty has already faded. Starting in the mid-1980s the average 20-year old employees were expected to change jobs approximately six or seven times during his or her lifetime. According to current statistics, today’s college graduates will, on average, have eight to ten jobs and as many as three careers in their lifetimes.

中级口译考试阅读试题答题技巧

中级口译考试阅读试题答题技巧 叶孟颖 词汇大突破 对策①：通过确定该生词在上下文中是positive抑或negative来进行判断。 例一：2001年9月试题第23题： 23. The word "gimmicks" in this passage is closest in meaning to ________. (A) services (B) extras (C) tricks (D) games 请看原文： So how can you make the most of your new power as a consumer? Here are rule s to help you find your way. 1 Never pay list price. 2 Refuse gimmicks. As competition heats up and pushes prices down, businesses scramble to boost th eir profits by heaping on extras: rustproofing your car, service contracts on your ap pliances, prepaid gasoline for your rental car. These gimmicks are devised to make you pay more at the last minute and probably aren't a good deal. 3 Don't buy on impulse. 4 Say no to platinum prices. 5 Switch-or threaten to. 以上是原文的大体框架，从加下划线的第一句我们可以看出，在这篇文章中作者将给消费者提出建议，希望消费者能够避免上狡猾商家的当而多掏腰包。作者希望消费者能做到这5点，所以可以判断出第2点中紧跟refuse的词应该是贬义的或者说负面的。我们直译一下阴影部分的内容：（商家）设计这些gimmicks是为了让你（消费者）在最后一刻多掏腰包，恐怕可不是什么让你占便宜的啊。再看四个选项中A,B和D都无贬义，只有C表示“花招，伎俩”之意，故正确答案为C。 看来不必非要知其意才能答对题，开动你的脑筋，通过判断词的褒贬义也可攻破难关。顺便说一下，如果题目问第4点中platinum prices为何意，应该也很好突破，“say no to"后面肯定不是什么好东西，这种价格站在消费者的角度来说肯定是天价。所以即使你不知道pla tinum（铂金，一种贵重金属, 由其制成的首饰上往往有Pt标志也即platinum的缩写）为何意恐怕也能猜出三分吧。 例二：1999年9月试题第21题： 21. The word "hindrance" in line 2 is closest in meaning to _______. (A) encouragement (B) assistance (C) procedure (D) interference

【DF】2011年3月上海中级口译真题及答案

沪江英语绿宝书之 2011年3月上海中级口译考试 听力原文及解析 SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST (45 minutes) Part A: Spot Dictation Directions:In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you will hear the passage ONLY ONCE. My topic for today?s lecture is communication, culture and work. When most people use the word culture, they think of people from different national backgrounds. National cultures certainly do exist and they play an important role in shaping the way people communicate, but there are other dimensions of culture too. Within a nation, regional differences can exert a powerful influence on communication. New Yorkers and Alaskans may find one another?s styles of behaving so different that they might as well be from different countries. Race and ethnicity can also shape behavior. So can age. The customs, values and attitudes of a twenty-year-old girl may vary radically from those of her parents who were raised in the 1960s or her grandparents who lived through the Great Depression and World War Ⅱ. Still, other differences can create distinctive cultures. Gender, sexual orientation, physical disabilities, religion and socio-economic background are just a few. All of these factors lead to a definition of culture as a set of values, beliefs, norms, customs, rules and codes that lead people to define themselves as a distinct group, giving them a sense of commonality. It?s important to realize that culture is learned, not innate.A Korean-born infant adopted soon after her birth by American parents and raised in the United States will think and act differently than his or her cousins who grew up in Seoul. An African American who grew up in the inner city will view the world differently than he or she would if raised in the suburbs or in a country like France where African heritage has different significance than it does in the United States. The norms and values we learn as part of our cultural conditioning shape the way we view the world and the way we interact with one another. In short, culture has such an overwhelming influence on communication that famous anthropologist Edward Hall once remarked, …culture is communication and communication is culture.?

中级口译真题+参考答案

9月中级口译真题+参考答案(4) Questions 16-20 We are moving inexorably into the age of automation. Our aim is not to devise a mechanism which can perform a thousand different actions of any individual man but, on the contrary, one which could by a single action replace a thousand men. Industrial automation has moved along three lines. First there is the conveyor belt system of continuous production whereby separate operations are linked into a single sequence. The goods produced by this well-established method are untouched by the worker, and the machine replaces both unskilled and semiskilled. Secondly, there is automation with feedback control of the quality of the product: here mechanisms are built into the system which can compare the output with a norm, that is, the actual product with what it is supposed to be, and then correct any shortcomings. The entire cycle of operations dispenses with human control except in so far as monitors are concerned. One or two examples of this type of automation will illustrate its immense possibilities. There is a factory in the U.S.A. which makes 1,000 million electric light bulbs a year, and the factory employs three hundred people. If the preautomation techniques were to be employed, the labour force required would leap to 25,000. A motor manufacturing company with 45,000 spare parts regulates their entire supply entirely by computer. Computers can be entrusted with most of the supervision of industrial installations, such as chemical plants or oil refineries. Thirdly, there is computer automation, for banks, accounting departments, insurance companies and the like. Here the essential features are the recording, storing, sorting and retrieval of information. The principal merit of modern computing machines is the achievement of their

纵观本次3.19中级口译考试听力部分，难度基本与05年9月持平，低于最难的05年3月试题。文章体裁虽呈多元化趋势，但即使略 有难度的金融类（如ATM取款机）、商务类（如工作午餐）、教育类（如继续教育）却都与生活息息相关，广大考生也可得心应手。 Spot-dictation几乎没有超出六级范围的词汇，因此对大多数考 生来说生词不是难点，相反一些其它的因素制约了我们得到满分的几率。比如由于在考场的紧张情绪而没有能够按照预定的计划在听写之 前进行抢读，导致不能进行有效预测，部分空格多填或少填单词而造 成失分。 针对Statement部分，相对以往，原句长度略微有所增加，但并 没有如托福考试那样出现中国考生不熟悉的本土化词组搭配；同时转 折题型多次出现，对于这样的考点，我们在培训过程中已有应对准备，考生通过反复操练已经形成了对“but”的条件反射；另外，因果题、 观点题也有明显引导词，只要听时注意句子的重心所在，题目也就能 迎刃而解。此外，本次考试第三题后半句“There goes my social life”也是此次听力照搬《中级听力教程（第二版）》（P.404，sample test 5， statement第二句）原文的情况了，如此一来，原先，面对与教材多处雷同的听力考试，很多同学会走只不听听力、只看 tape script的捷径，现今，这样的窍门已经不再适用，当下中级口译听力明显关注实际听力能力的考察，因此通过课堂上的大量练习、提 高实力还是重中之重。 对于Talks & Conversations的解题，并不存在有意设置的难点。细节题相当平实，有些与托福相似，可以利用特定场景的特定思路来

中级口译笔试历年真题听力文字稿最完整版(97-08)

历年上海中级口译听力部分录音文稿（97.3 － 08.9） 97．3 SECTION 1：LISTENING TEST Part A: Spot Dictation The development of the Space Shuttle has dramatically reduced the cost of sending loads into space. The Shuttle takes off from Earth like a rocket, and lands again like a huge aircraft. It can transport not only its own crew, but also passengers, and has a huge cargo-hold which is capable of carrying large satellites or a space laboratory. Before the Space Shuttle was created, it was necessary to plan trips into space several years in advance. However, for the rest of the century it should be possible to make space flights every week or so. Any scientist or engineer needing to travel into orbit will simply take the next Shuttle flight, stay as long as necessary, and then return at his or her convenience. It is difficult to imagine the immense opportunities created by the Shuttle. One of the great advantages of having a reusable space vehicle is that it can take one load after another into orbit. Very large space stations could not be launched in their complete form directly from Earth, but they could be built piece by piece in space. The Space Shuttle is likely to be used as a general ―workhorse‖ for the rest of this century, and the building of such stations in orbit should become commonplace. Once these huge orbiting space stations are completed, they are likely to become the platforms from which hundreds of robot space ships could be launched cheaply and easily to explore the solar system and to start mining operations on the Moon. The technology needed for this is already developed and available. And because of commercial and military pressures to develop space technology, it is likely that governments will be increasingly willing to start extensive programs of space engineering, exploration and research.

历年上海英语中级口译翻译英译汉真题及答案

历年上海英语中级口译翻译英译汉真题及答案 原文： 出自Newsweek Why We Must Fire Bad Teachers The relative decline of American education at the elementary- and high-school levels has long been a national embarrassment as well as a threat to the nation’s future. Once upon a time, American students tested better than any other students in the world. Now, ranked against European schoolchildren, America does about as well as Lithuania, behind at least 10 other nations. For much of this time—roughly the last half century—professional educators believed that if they could only find the right pedagogy, the right method of instruction, all would be well. They tried New Math, open classrooms, Whole Language—but nothing seemed to achieve significant or lasting improvements. Yet in recent years researchers have discovered something that may seem obvious, but for many reasons was overlooked or denied.

The two sides of the brain, while fairly comparable in size and form, appear to specialize in handling various tasks. In most individuals, the left hemisphere has primary responsibility for language and this left brain dominance in linguistic functions appears to exist prior to birth. The right hemisphere, on the other hand, controls visual and spatial skills as well as the perception of nonlinguistic sounds and musical melodies. 第2题 【正确答案】： 我将向你们展示一张印度尼西亚的美丽地图。你会从这张地图中看到印度尼西亚共和国是位于亚洲和澳洲大陆之间重要地理位置上的最大岛国。 因此，许多外国的投资者把他们的资金投在印度尼西亚，目的是为了建厂或和印度尼西亚建立合资企业。 此外，印度尼西亚有许多岛屿，大约13677个岛，五个主要的岛屿大约占陆地面积的92%。 这个区域行政划分为30个省，其中的两个是特区。印度尼西亚是世界上人口密度第四大的国家，有超过2.5亿的人口，年人口增长率为1.6%。
