【资格考试】2019最新整理-中级口译听力试题分析

——参考范本—— 【资格考试】2019最新整理-中级口译听力试题分析 ______年______月______日 ____________________部门

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

口译考试准备

上海中级口译考试怎样准备？ 中口考试分为两阶段。第一阶段笔试，一般在每年3月和9月中旬周日下午，时间150分钟，总分250分。共分四部分： 第一部分听力90分，分为三部分，均为30分。Part A是复合式听写，20个空，跟四六级考试有点类似，但区别在于全文只能听一遍，每个空要填2-4个单词，语速大约130词/分。Part B是听力理解，包括单句理解，长对话和短文。单句理解就是从四个选项中找出和所听到的句子意思最接近的一个，长对话和短文与四六级差不多。Part C是听译，分为单句听译和篇章听译，都是英译汉，即听力放英语句子和文章，然后留出一段时间，考生写出汉语翻译。 第二部分阅读60分，六篇文章，每篇文章后5个选择题。 第三部分英译汉50分，第四部分汉译英50分，要求考生不借助任何词典、参考资料和其它媒介，将一篇长度为180个单词（汉字）左右的英（汉）语文章段落译成汉（英）语。译文需忠实原文的意思，且语言通顺，符合译语规范。 合格为150分。凡第一阶段合格的考生方可参加第二阶段口试。笔试成绩两年内有效，即笔试通过后可以参加四次口试，只要任何一次通过即可拿到口译证书。 第二阶段口试，每年5月和11月，共分两部分：口语与口译。口语部分要求考生就指定话题作三分钟左右的命题发言，话题后面有三个提示问题，但不要求一定要按照问题阐述观点。考生拿到口语试题后有五分钟的准备时间。口译分英译汉和汉译英两部分，每部分均要求口译主题各不相同的两个段落。各两段，每段四断，每断两或三句，每断单独评分。答对11句及以上可以通过。 考生只有在通过笔试和口试两个阶段以后才能获得《上海市英语中级口译岗位资格证书》。考试的指定培训教材：《中级听力教程》（周国强编著），《中级阅读教程》（陈汉生编著），《中级翻译教程》（孙万彪、冯慎宇编著），《中级口语教程》（严诚忠、朱妙南编著），《中级口译教程》（梅德明编著），均由上海外语教育出版社出版。听力和口译教程配有磁带，mp3网上可以下载到。 推荐参考书：《中级口译真题解析》，同济大学出版社，内有八套真题并配有详细解析，必买；新东方口试考试培训班指定辅导用书系列，汪海涛、邱政政主编，世界图书出版公司，一套四本，中口用到《词汇必备》，《口试备考精要》和《中口笔试备考精要》三本；《英语中级口译实用教程》，康志峰主编，华东理工大学出版社；《英语中高级口译笔试冲刺》和《口试导考》，都是谭宝泉编著，前者是上海译文出版社，后者是东华大学出版社；《实战口译》，（英）林超伦编著，外语教学与研究出版社，讲口译速记符号的。 考试准备 1.背单词 单词是肯定要背的。口译的准备一般从寒假开始，这时离你四六级考试或英语期末考试结束已经有一段时间了，背单词可以唤醒你丧失的英语记忆。而且上面也提到口译单词涉及到诸多方面，其中绝大部分都是具有中国特色、与我国现阶段国情紧密相关的，社会实用性很强，这些都是大学英语教学所欠缺的。有些单词你可能以前都没有接触过，通过背单词，可以初步了解口译考试的考点。 我用的是新东方的《中/高级口译考试词汇必备》，这也是迄今为止我所知道的最好的口译单词书。它打破了单词书按字母顺序编写的常规，将口译常用单词和词组分为若干类，既有英译中，也有中译英，充分考虑了口译的双向性。所选内容除了来自教程外，还参考了国内外多种资料和媒体，很多翻译（特别是对外口径）都是“权威”表达。 背单词点到为止，千万不要花太多时间，毕竟考试不是考默写单词。另外这本单词书有不少

9月中级口译考试答案解析(完整版) Spot Dictation In America there are no nobles or men of letters, and the common folk mistrust the wealthy; Consequently lawyers form the highest political class and the most cultivated circle of society. They have therefore nothing to gain by innovation, which adds a conservative interest to their natural taste for public order. If I were asked where I place the American aristocracy, I should reply without hesitation that it is not composed of the rich, who are united together by no common tie, but that it occupies the judicial bench and the bar. When I started researching this topic, I found an interesting website “Legal Reform Now”. As the name suggests, this website is devoted to legal reform and it is definitely concerned about the dominance of lawyers in American government. There I read an article by a political science professor from the university of Wisconsin. One observation the UW article confirms is that the legal profession is the dominant profession of the people re-elect to public office. For example, about half our representatives and two-thirds of our senators are lawyers. No other profession comes close to having the same the number of people in political office. Effectively, lawyers form our nation’s most powerful organized political constituency in America. Lawyers make our laws and lawyers interpret our laws. When judges are appointed, the American bar association is the only professional organization that is consulted to rate the fitness of potential judicial appointees. Our nation has been in existence for over 200 years and lawyers have been this nation’s aristocracy since its formation. Our system works, but do we really want to have a single profession in charge of our nation? Specifically, do we want to have the legal profession in charge? Next time you

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.

上海中级口译考试全攻略(笔试+口试)

上海中级口译考试全攻略（笔试+口试）两周前风尘仆仆地考完中级口译，常有人问我考得怎么样。我的答复总是：美女很多+非常紧张。 在参加考试之前，我常听到两种说法：中级口译太简单了，根本是没用的证，不如去考高口；中级口译太难了，只有高手才能拿到证。这两种说法都没错，对不同英语程度的人来说，中级口译的地位也不尽相同。我当初想到考中级口译并不是为了那一纸证书，因为我对于口译兴趣很小。想到报名完全是为了提高听力。上海交大去年做的一项调查显示，65%的同学认为经过口译训练，听力水平得到了大幅提高。当时我在《外国语》上看到这篇论文，立刻想到通过中级口译提高我可怜的听力。复习之后我还发现，口译对拓宽词汇量尤其是生活词汇作用巨大。 下面我就来谈谈怎么准备中级口译。 首先你需要买中级口译的教材，一共五本《中级听力教程》《中级阅读教程》《中级口语教程》《中级翻译教程》《中级口译教程》，但是，这五本中只需要买三本，那就是《中级翻译教程（第三版）》，《中级听力教程(第3版)》，《中级口译教程(第3版)》，另外两本千万别买，和考试根本没关系，除了这三本，我还推荐买《中级口译真题解析》，《中高级口译口试备考精要(附MP3)--新东方大愚英语学习丛书》，《英语口译资格考试分类词汇精编》。 书买好了，就可以开始准备了。 在准备之前，先确定打算何时考中级口译。中级口译一年两次，一次在3月笔试（同年5月初口试），另一次在9月（同年11月初口试），笔试部分考点较多，可以去上海中级口译官网查找，在哪个城市报名就在哪个城市考笔试，但是你也可以网上报名，网上报名必须在上海考试。注意报名时间：9月的考试在6月报名，3月的考试在12月报名，一定要随时关注官网的通知。 中级口译的笔试满分250分，149.5分以上通过笔试。一旦通过笔试，你就获得了接下来四次参加口试的机会（即两年有效期），我推荐在9月参加笔试，因为暑假时间较多，而寒假有春节的干扰，复习不充分，很多人都会放弃3月的考试。 下面我简要介绍一下中级口译的考试内容及复习方法。 笔试部分共三部分，即听力、阅读和笔译。 听力占90分，包含听写填空，段对话及长对话，听译。 听写填空，英文叫spot dictitation, 给400词左右的文章，抠去20个空，每个空需要填进去

2013年9月中级口译听力真题 Spot Dictation 含解析

2013年9月中级口译听力真题Spot Dictation 含解析 作者：沪江英语来源：沪江英语 2013年秋季上海中高级口译考试于今日9月15日开考，沪江英语在考后第一时间提供真题、解析、答案信息，本文为2013年9月中级口译听力真题Spot Dictation部分，由沪江网校提供。 Spot dictation Next, let's talk about earthquakes on our planet. Some countries have large numbers of earthquakes. Japan is one of them. Others do not have many. For example, there are few earthquakes in Britain. There is often a great noise during an earthquake. The ground vibrates. Houses fall down. Trains run off the lines. Sometimes, there is a heavy loss of human lives. Earthquakes often happen near volcanoes, but this is not always true. The centers of some earthquakes are under the sea. The bottom of the sea suddenly moves. The powerful forces inside the earth break the rocks. The coast is shaken and great waves appear. These waves, also known as seismic waves, or tsunamis can travel long distances and rush over the land when they reach it. They are strong enough to break down houses and other buildings. Very often fires follow the most serious earthquakes. In 1906, the great earthquake at San Francisco broke the gas pipes. The gas escaped, and soon large numbers of fires were burning in the city. The water pipes were also shaken and broken, so it was not possible to put the fires out. There was no water. The Tokyo Earthquake of 1923 happened just before noon. People were cooking meals on their fires at that time. When the ground shook, the fires shook, too. Hot materials were thrown on the different parts of the houses, some of which were made of wood. Soon 134 fires were burning in the city. What kind of building stands up best in an earthquake? A building with concrete walls is perhaps the best. A steel frame will make it even stronger.
