解析：teenagers [听力原文]

There are lots of claims and theories regarding the ill effects of ache on our skin, but a recent study unwraps the sweet truth about our guiltiest pleasure.

When teenagers have spots, someone will tell them to eat less chocolate. Whether there"s any truth in this involves asking two questions: first, is there any evidence that people who eat chocolate are more likely to have acne; and second, is there a process by which ingesting chocolate could cause spots?

Spots occur when skin pores become blocked with sebum. If the pore is partially blocked you get a blackhead. If it"s fully blocked you get a whitehead. All of us have millions of harmless bacteria living on our skin, and these can infect a blocked pore, causing a spot. If you get a lot of spots it is known as acne.

If both your parents had acne when they were teenagers then you are more likely to have it too. The reason that adolescents are particularly prone to spots is that sebum-producing glands are

highly sensitive to hormones. Acne usually reduces by the time you become an adult, but a small percentage of people find it persists.

But back to the question, is there a process by which chocolate could exacerbate acne? There are several theories. One is that since chocolate is fatty it could in theory lead to the production of more sebum, and therefore more blocked pores. Another is that large quantities of chocolate could raise insulin levels in the bloodstream, altering the levels of some hormones, leading to an increase in sebum production.

There were two studies looking at chocolate. One study found that the quantity of chocolate, milk and roasted nuts university students ate made no difference to the severity of acne.

In 1969, a placebo-controlled study conducted in patients visiting an ache clinic and men in prison also found chocolate made no difference to acne. Now you might be wondering what a chocolate placebo looks like, and where you can get one. The participants were given chocolate bars with the same fat and sugar content as ordinary chocolate, but with lower levels of cocoa. So this study only tells us that cocoa makes no difference to ache, it tells us little if not nothing about fat and sugar. What"s more, the prisoners and patients only ate chocolate for four weeks. Medication for acne usually takes two or more months before an improvement is seen, so this might not have been long enough to show chocolate"s effect on the skin.

So we can"t yet pin the blame on chocolate, but how about diet in general? A study from back in 1956 on more than two thousand British soldiers suggested a possible link with diet; it found that 20-to-40-year-old soldiers with ache were likely to weigh more than teenage soldiers without. But for many years inconclusive studies meant that any link between food and acne was at best unproven, and at worse a myth. Then in 2002 came the intriguing finding that no one in

non-westernised populations in New Guinea and Paraguay had acne. Suddenly diet was back on the agenda. Of course there is the possibility it is genetics that is protecting these populations from acne, but if diet does make a difference, then we need to know which kinds of foods in industrialized countries are having the biggest impact on acne. Is it the amount of fat consumed that matters, or sugar, or as some have suggested, the speed at which the sugar breaks down? The fact is that regardless of what people eat, their acne usually gets better when they leave their teens. So if we are ever to discover the answer, what we need are well-designed prospective studies. And that means tracking people across many months or even years while assessing their chocolate consumption and the severity of their ache.

三、B(总题数：1，分数：50.00)

Scientists are looking at ways to 1 the global temperature by removing greenhouse gases from the air. Carbon dioxide has a 2 effect on the Earth"s temperature. Since the industrial revolution, humans have been burning 3 amounts of fossil fuels, releasing large amounts of carbon dioxide. The gas is changing the climate, warming the 4 for plants and animals and raising sea 5 . Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels today, there is enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Hence, we have the idea of finding ways of 6 carbon dioxide.

In recent years there have been 7 to remove the carbon dioxide from its 8 in power plants. 9 have been fitted to the 10 , so the carbon dioxide produced during fuel burning can be removed from the 11 emissions. The carbon dioxide can be cooled and pumped for 12 in underground rock chambers, which is a useful way of preventing carbon dioxide from entering the 13 . But what about the 14 that is already out there? The problem with removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is that it"s 15 at such a 16 concentration. Removing the gas takes lots of energy. Though it is expensive, it"s 17 . Extracting the 18 of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would require enormous volumes of 19 to be processed. Therefore, most scientists have 20 at the idea.

解析：lower [听力原文]

Scientists are looking at ways to lower the global temperature by removing greenhouse gases from the air. Could super-absorbent fake leaves be the answer?

It may be a colorless, odorless and completely natural gas, but carbon dioxide is beginning to cause us a lot of problems. It only makes up a tiny fraction of the atmosphere, 0.04% of all the gas by volume, but it has a huge effect on the Earth"s temperature. That"s because unlike nitrogen or oxygen, carbon dioxide molecules absorb the sun"s heat rays even though they let light rays pass through, like a greenhouse.

Scientists are looking at ways to modulate the global temperature by removing some of this greenhouse gas from the air. If it works, it would be one of the few ways of geo-engineering the planet with multiple benefits, beyond simply cooling the atmosphere.

Every time we breathe out, we emit carbon dioxide just like all other metabolic life forms. Meanwhile, photosynthetic organisms like plants and algae take in carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. This balance has kept the planet at a comfortably warm average temperature of 14℃, compared with a chilly -18℃ if there were no carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

In the Anthropocene (the Age of Man), we have shifted this balance by releasing more carbon dioxide than plants can absorb. Since the industrial revolution, humans have been burning increasing amounts of fossil fuels, releasing stored carbon from millions of years ago. Eventually the

atmosphere will reach a new balance at a hotter temperature as a result of the additional carbon dioxide, but getting there is going to be difficult.

The carbon dioxide we are releasing is changing the climate, the wind and precipitation patterns, acidifying the oceans, warming the habitats for plants and animals, melting glaciers and ice sheets, increasing the frequency of wildfires and raising sea levels. And we are doing this at such a rapid pace that animals and plants may not have time to evolve to the new conditions. Humans won"t have to rely on evolution, but we will have to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on adapting or moving our cities and other infrastructure, and finding ways to grow our food crops under these unfamiliar conditions.

Even if we stopped burning fossil fuels today, there is enough carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and it is such a persistent, lasting gas that temperatures will continue to rise for a few hundred years. We won"t stop emitting carbon dioxide today, of course, and it is now very likely that within the lifetime of people born today we will increase the temperature of the planet by at least 3℃ more than the average temperature before the industrial revolution.

Hence, the idea of finding ways of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. One way to do this is to grow plants that absorb a lot of carbon dioxide and store it. But although we can certainly improve tree-planting, we also need land to grow food for an increasing global population, so there"s a limit to how much forestry we can fit on the planet.

In recent years there have been attempts to remove the carbon dioxide from its source in power plants. Scrubber devices have been fitted to the chimneys in different pilot projects around the world so that the greenhouse gas produced during fossil fuel burning can be removed from the exhaust emissions. The carbon dioxide can then be cooled and pumped for storage in deep underground rock chambers, for example, replacing the fluid in saline aquifers. Another storage option is to use the collected gas to replace crude oil deposits, helping drilling companies to pump out oil from hard-to-reach places, in a process known as advanced oil recovery.

Removing this pollution from power plants, called carbon capture and storage, is a useful way of preventing additional carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere as we continue to burn fossil fuels. But what about the gas that is already out there?

The problem with removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere is that it"s present at such a low concentration. In a power plant chimney, for instance, carbon dioxide is present at concentrations of 4%- 12% within a relatively small amount of exhaust air. Removing the gas takes a lot of energy, so it is expensive, but it"s feasible. To extract the 0.04% of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would require enormous volumes of air to be processed. As a result, most scientists have baulked at the idea.

英译中笔记方法

英译中笔记方法 我历年的实践，发现学友们在学习口译上最大的难点在于笔记问题。因此我整理了一条实用的（E-C）英译中笔记方法，提供初涉口译的众学友学习。 首先，这里需要指出的是，大多数同学并没有意识到口译笔记的基本类型。在此为大家简述一番，其实口译笔记可以按照“源语和目标语”分为两类，在此以英语(论坛)和汉语为例。比如：“E-C”和“C-E”是两个不同的体系。（E-C即英译中；C-E即中译英）。 关于“C-E模式”的笔记，在中译英时口译者并没有听力上的挑战，所以在记录笔记时我们大都可从容应对；把握脉络、大意、关键词，并选择性的记录；而且还能保证主要意思都能记在脑中；即使没有系统训练过笔记法的学友，也可以通过强记和速写，把信息记全。 所以说，中高级口译考试时的“C-E模式”的句子或段落的笔记可以是挑选性的（selective）; 也可以做得“面面俱到”（every single point），而这时的要求就是你手写速度，清晰度（legibility）, 合理逻辑的布局和排列。 在这样的背景下，C-E模式的笔记体系就引入了大量的“符号”以简化速记的强度，提高速记的质量，使译者有更多的时间脑记。 比如这段符号：“中 e ↗+” 表示“中国经济的强劲增长。” 笔者纵观了各种专业课程、比较了热门的口译笔记法书籍，口译论坛和网站上的有关信息，发现对于这些“符号”并没有一个有明确的、规范的统一写法。完全是不同专家和从业者的各种个性化的笔记，加上一些共性的元素。比如：“全球”这个概念, 有时会写“w”；有时也写成“⊙” 。写法各异，但都属于认知常识范畴。 对于这一情况，我也反复告诫学友，口译上常见的表达和词汇，要用符号，因为用熟悉的“固定符号”更加容易想象到这些信息，所以大家就得掌握熟记这些符号，这样才可以在考试中赢得更多翻译和口译的时间。

英语口译技巧

尽管每个人的对记录符号的使用可能是多样的，同一事物不同的人可能会使用不同的符号，同一符号在不同的人意识中肯能代表不同的意思，但是通行的原则还是存在的，活用这些原则，那会让你在口译的过程中如虎添翼…… 在听力活动中，笔记是一个辅助我们记忆的非常有效的工具。 对于专业的口译译员来说，口译笔记的作用是帮助他们还原刚刚听到的内容。而对于同学们来说其最大的作用则是在我们做题的时候帮助我们记录并最终理清语言材料之间的逻辑关系，还原具体信息细节。 在听力练习当中，题目经常是在一大段语言材料播放完毕之后才出现，由于人记忆能力的局限这个时候很多本来已经听懂的内容已经无法被我们回忆起来，造成了信息模糊、信息丢失，以至于无法完成题目。而笔记可以有效地弥补人短时记忆的缺陷，掌握一点英语口译者们常用的笔记法，你会发现这些“专业人士”所谓的“高端技能”，对于普通的学习者来说同样有很大意义，可以帮助我们在一般的听力考试中游刃有余。 英语笔记法的适用前提——听力过关（五大支柱），听懂是做笔记的前提条件，如果听都没有听懂，又怎么可能去记？再好地记录能力都不可能创造信息本身。 下面举例说明听力笔记的一些技巧： 1、不要大量记录文字（汉字、单词） ——而要使用符号来表示意思（缩写、图形） Eg：“powerful country”记作“强口”， “我同意”记作“I√ ”； “观点，看法一致”记作“⊙ same”， “economic development”记作“经↑” ↑表示“上升、快速上升、快速发展、快速上涨等” ↓表示“下降、减少、急剧下降、急速下跌等”； ↗表示“缓慢上升，缓慢发展、缓慢上涨等”； ←表示“返回，倒退等”; →表示“达到，至，导致，前进等”； +表示“加，增加，此外，另外，又加之”； —表示“减少，减”； ＞表示“多于，大于，强于”； ＜表示“少于，小于，不如”； ∵表示“因为，由于”； ∴表示“所以，因此”； =表示“等于，相同，与……相同”。 t表示thousand; m表示million; b表示 billion; 1st表示first。 2、不要横着写：

口译笔记的七个原则

THE SEVEN PRINCIPLES The use of a technique is always dependent upon the application of a certain number of principles. This is what we call the instructions. One need not follow the rules recommended in such instructions. Indeed the product, device or system for which they were devised may well work even if they are not observed, but will do so less efficiently. Furthermore, the simpler the instructions, the more likely the user is to follow them. The same applies to note-taking. A few very simple principles give this system its sound base and precision, and make using it straightforward. There are seven of these principles; in order they are: 1 Noting the idea and not the word 2 The rules of abbreviation 3 Links 4 Negation 5 Adding emphasis 6 Verticality 7 Shift Some of these principles have already been explained by Jean Herbert in his Interpreter’s Handbook1. 1. Noting the idea rather than the word Take any French text and give it to 10 excellent english translators. The result will be ten very well translated texts, but ten very different texts in as far as the actual words used are concerned. The fact that we have ten good translations, but ten different texts, shows that what is important is the translation of the idea and not the word. This is even truer of interpretation since the interpreter must produce a version of the text in another language immediately. He must be free of the often misleading constraints that words represent. It is through the analysis and notation of the ideas that the interpreter will avoid mistakes and a laboured delivery. Example: Let us take the following, from French into English: …Il y a des fortes chances pour que...../ There is a very good chance that...” If we base our notation of this expression on the words, the key word is chance. If we base it on the idea, it is probable. The notes will have to be read 20 minutes – even an hour2– after the idea was originally expressed. In the first example it would be very easy to make a mistake. Having noted chance the i nterpreter might, if the context allowed, render it …there is a chance that” or …by chance”. If on the other hand he noted probable the mistake cannot be made. The issue of style is also dealt with in the second example where one would automatically say (interpreting into English), …It is probable that”, or …it is likely that”, or …in all likelihood” whereas in the first example even if the interpreter had correctly recalled the idea that the word chance represented he/she will be a prisoner to that word and might easily produce a gallicism3. 1 Georg & C ie, Geneva, 1956. 2 this was indeed the case when Rozan wrote. Although nowadays 20 minutes is considered a long consecutive speech, his comments still apply. 3 being unduly influenced by the source language is, of course, not only a problem in French-English interpretation but in all interpretation.

Now, at the dawn of the new era of internet services, Google is widely seen as the heir to the kingdom. As the upstart has matured into a powerful industry giant, the suggestion that "Google is the new Microsoft" has become commonplace in computing circles. Yet there are some crucial ways in which Google differs from Microsoft. For a start, it is a far more innovative company, and its use of small, flexible teams has so far allowed it to remain innovative even as it has grown. Microsoft, in contrast, has stagnated as a result of its size and dominance. It is least innovative in the markets in which it faces the least competition —operating systems, office software and web browsers. More important, however, are the differences that suggest that Google will not be able to establish an IBM or Microsoft-style lock on the industry. In the PC eras hardware became a commodity and Microsoft established a lucrative monopoly centered on its proprietary operating system, Windows. But in the new era of internet services, open standards predominate, rivals are always just a click away, and there is far less scope for companies to establish a proprietary lick-in. 【正确答案】： 一个又一个帝国的起起落落谱写了人类的历史，电脑行业也是一样，在短短的几十年中，各大公司接连统治着这一领域。如今，互联网服务业时代刚刚到来，Google 被一致看好会成为这一王国的首领。随着这个新兴的公司成长成为一个强大的行业巨头，电脑界内越来越盛传这样的说法——“Google 是新一代的微软”。 然而，在一些关键问题上，Google 与微软是不同的。首先，Google 极具创新性。且它的团队精简，高度灵活，这使得它即使发展到了如今的规模还能保持创新。相比之下，微软却因为它的霸主地位与其庞大的规模而停滞不前。它的改革创新微乎其微，再者，它所处的市场中竞争对手也少之甚少——它的专项为操作系统、办公软件和网络浏览器。 这两个公司更重要的不同之处在于Google 无法在行业中，如IBM 或微软一般锁定自己的地位。在个人电脑时代，硬件是商品，微软则以它的专利操作系统
