Part two: reading and comprehension

Passage One

Imagine waking up and finding the value of your assets has been halved. No, you’re not an investor in one of those hedge funds that failed completely. With the dollar slumping to a 26-year low against the pound, already-expensive London has become quite unaffordable. A coffee at Starbucks, just as unavoidable in England as it is in the United States, runs about $8. The once all-powerful dollar isn’t doing a Titanic against just the pound. It is sitting at a record low against the euro and at a 30-year low against the Canadian dollar. Even the Argentine peso and Brazilian real are thriving against the dollar.

The weak dollar is a source of humiliation, for a nation’s self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its curr ency. It’s also a potential economic problem, since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates. And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U.S. economy—from giant companies like Coca-Cola to mom-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami—for which the weak dollar is most excellent news. Many Europeans may view the U.S .as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U.S. than a weak dollar. Through April, the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue, the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2000 peak. Many Europeans now apparently view the U.S. the way many Americans view Mexico—as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals can’t afford to join the merrymaking.

The money tourists spend helps decrease our chronic trade deficit. So do exports, which, thanks in part to the weak dollar, soared 11 percent between May 2006 and May 2007.For the first five months of 2007,the trade deficit actually fell 7 percent from 2006. If you own shares in large American corporations, you’re a winner in the weak-dollar gamble. Last week Coca-Cola’s stock bubbled to a five-year high after it reported a fantastic quarter. Foreign sales accounted for 65 percent of Coke’s beverage business. Other American companies profiting from this trend include McDonald’s and IBM. American tourists, however, shouldn’t expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up—slowly, and then all at once. And currencies don’t turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect.

21.Why do Americans feel humiliated?

A) Their economy is plunging.

B) Their currency has slumped.

C) They can’t afford trips to Europe.

D) They have lost half of their assets.

22.How does the current dollar affect the life of ordinary Americans?

A) They have to cancel their vacations in New England.

B) They find it unaffordable to dine in mom-and-pop restaurants.

C) They have to spend more money when buying imported goods.

D) They might lose their jobs due to potential economic problems.

23.How do many Europeans feel about the U.S. with the devalued dollar?

A) They feel contemptuous of it.

B) They are sympathetic with it.

C) They regard it as a superpower on the decline.

D) They think of it as a good tourist destination.

24.What is the author’s advice to Americans?

A) They treat the dollar with a little respect.

B) They try to win in the weak-dollar gamble.

C) They vacation at home rather than abroad.

D) They treasure their marriages all the more.

25. What does the author imply by saying “currencies don’t turn on a dime”(Line2, Para. 7)?

A) The dollar’s value will not increase in the short term.

B) The value of a dollar will not be reduced to a dime.

C) The dollar’s value will drop, but within a small margin.

D) Few Americans will change dollars into other currencies.

Passage Two

In the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true fighters. We’re pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT preparatory courses and build resumes so they can get into the college of our first choice. I’ve twice been to the wars, and as I survey the battlefield, something different is happening. We see our kid’s college background as a prize demonstrating how well we’ve raised them. But we can’t acknowledge that our

obsession is more about us than them. So we’ve contrived various justifications that turn out to be half-truths, prejudices or myths. It actually doesn’t matter much whether Aaron and Nicole go to Stanford.

We have a full-blown prestige panic; we worry that there won’t be enough prizes to go around. Fearful parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever. Underlying the hysteria is the belief that scarce elite degrees must be highly valuable. Their graduates must enjoy more success because they get a better education and develop better contacts. We haven’t found any convincing evidence that selectivity or prestige matters. Selective schools don’t systematically employ better instructional approaches than less-selective schools. On two measures—professors’ feedback and the number of essay exams—selective schools do slightly worse.

By some studies, selective schools do enhance their graduates’ lifetime earnings.

The gain is reckoned at 2-4% for every 100-point increase in a school’s average SAT scores. But even this advantage is probably a statistical fluke. A well-known study examined students who got into highly selective schools and then went elsewhere. They earned just as much as graduates from higher-status schools. Kids count more than their colleges. Getting into Yale may signify intelligence, talent and ambition. But it’s not the only indicator and, paradoxically, its significance is declining. The reason: so many similar people go elsewhe re. Getting into college isn’t life’s only competition. In the next competition—the job market and graduate school—the results may change. Old-boy networks are breaking down. Princeton economist Alan Krueger studied admissions to one top Ph.D. program. High scores on the GRE helped explain who got in; degrees of prestigious universities didn’t.

So, parents , lighten up. The stakes have been vastly exaggerated. Up to a point, we can rationalize our pushiness. America is a competitive society; our kids need to adjust to that. But too much pushiness can be destructive. The very ambition we impose on our children may get some into Harvard but may also set them up for disappointment. One study found that, other things being equal, graduates of highly selective schools experienced more job dissatisfaction. They may have been so conditioned to being on top that anything less disappoints.

26. Why does the author say that parents are the true fighters in the college-admissions wars?

A) They have the final say in which university their children are to attend.

B) They know best which universities are most suitable for their children.

C) They have to carry out intensive surveys of colleges before children make an application.

D) They care more about which college their children go to than the children themselves.

27. Why do parents urge their children to apply to more schools than ever?

A) They want to increase their children’s chances of entering a prestigious college.

B) They hope their children can enter a university that offers attractive scholarships.

C) Their children will have a wider choice of which college to go to.

D) Elite universities now enroll fewer students than they used to.

28.What does the author mean by” Kids count more than their colleges”(Line1,Para.4)?

A) Continuing education is more important to a person’s success.

B) A person’s happiness should be valued more than their education.

C) Kids’ actual abilities are more important than their college backgrounds.

D) What kids learn at college cannot keep up with job market requirements.

29.What does Krueger’s study tell us?

A) Getting into Ph.D. programs may be more competitive than getting into college.

B) Degrees of prestigious universities do not guarantee entry to graduate programs.

C) Graduates from prestigious universities do not care much about their GRE scores.

D) Connections built in prestigious universities may be sustained long after graduation.

30. One possible result of pushing children into elite universities is that____.

A) they earn less than their peers from other institutions.

B) they turn out to be less competitive in the job market.

C) they experience more job dissatisfaction after graduation.

D) they overemphasize their qualifications in job applications.

Passage Three

Sustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use. 52 This is especially true in agriculture, where sustainable development is often taken as the sole measure of progress without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives. To start with, it is important to remember that the nature of agriculture has changed markedly throughout history, and will continue to do so .medieval agriculture in northern Europe fed, clothed and sheltered a predominantly rural society with a much lower population density than it is today. It had minimal effect on biodiversity, and any pollution it caused was typically localized. In terms of energy use and the nutrients captured in the product it was relatively inefficient. Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial revolution. Competition from overseas led farmers to specialize and increase yields. Throughout this period food became cheaper, safe and more reliable. However, these changes have also led to habitat loss and to diminishing biodiversity. What’s more, demand for animal products in developing countries is growing so fast that meeting it will require an extra 300 million tons of grain a year by 2050.yet the growth of cities and industry is reducing the amount of water available for agriculture in many regions.

All this means that agriculture in the 21stcentury will have to be very different from how it was in the 20th.thiswill require radical thinking. For example, we need to move away from the idea that traditional practices are inevitably more sustainable than new ones. We also need to abandon the notion that agr iculture can be “zero impact”. The key will be to abandon the rather simple and static measures of sustainability, which centre on the need to maintain production without increasing damage.

31.How do people often measure progress in agriculture?

A) By its productivity C) By its impact on the environment

B) By its sustainability D) By its contribution to economic growth

32. Specialization and the effort to increase yields have resulted in________.

A) Localized pollution

B) the shrinking of farmland

C) competition from overseas

D) the decrease of biodiversity

33. What does the author think of traditional farming practices?

A) They have remained the same over the centuries

B) They have not kept pace with population growth

C) They are not necessarily sustainable

D) They are environmentally friendly

34. What will agriculture be like in the 21st century?

A) It will go through radical changes

B) It will supply more animal products

C) It will abandon traditional farming practices

D) It will cause zero damage to the environment

35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?

A) To remind people of the need of sustainable development

B) To suggest ways of ensuring sustainable food production

C) To advance new criteria for measuring farming progress

D) To urge people to rethink what sustainable agriculture is

Passage Four

There is nothing new about TV and fashion magazines giving girls unhealthy ideas about how thin they need to be in order to be considered beautiful. What is surprising is the method psychologists at the University of Texas have come up with to keep girls from developing eating disorders. Their main weapon against super skinny (role) model: a brand of evil disobedience dubbed “body activism.” Since 2001, more than 1,000 high school and college students in the U.S. have participated in the Body Project, which works by getting girls to understand how they have been buying into the notion that you have to be thin to be happy or successful.

After critiquing the so-called thin ideal by writing essays and role-playing with their peers, participants are directed to come up with and execute small, nonviolent acts. They include slipping notes saying “Love your body the way it is” into dieting books at store like borders and writing letters to Mattel, makers of the impossibly proportioned Barbie doll.

According to a study in the latest issue of the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, the risk of developing eating disorders was reduced 61% among Body Project participants. And they continued to exhibit positive body-image attitudes as long as three years after completing the program, which consists of four one-hour sessions. Such lasting effects may be due to girls’ realizing not only how they were being influenced but also who was benefiting f rom the societal pressure to be thin. “These people who promote the perfect body really don’t care about you at all,” says Kelsey Hertel, a high school junior and Body Project veteran in Eugene, Oregon. “They purposefully make you feel like less of a perso n so you’ll buy their stuff and they’ll make money.”

1．Where do girls get the notion that they need to be thin in order to be considered

beautiful?

2. By promoting “body activism,” University of Texas psychologists aim to prevent

girls from_______.

3. Acco rding to the author, Mattel’s Barbie dolls are _________.

4. The positive effects of the Body Project may last up to _________.

5. One Body Project participant says that the real motive of those who promote the

pe rfect body is to _________.

This leads some people to believe that a person can achieve great success without a formal education and that the qualifications a successful person needs cannot be acquired through the study in university or other institutions of similar nature. It cannot be denied that there do exist such examples in every country; however, I can hardly share the above point of view for several reasons In the first place, a college or university is a specialized institution of higher learning where people can receive systematic and scientific training in a certain field, which paves the way for their future career. With the advent of the era of knowledge-based economy, a man without a sound academic background can hardly accomplish anything. Only in universities and other institutions of higher learning can he/she master the professional knowledge and relevant skills essential to his/her career. Secondly, it is wise to learn at another man's cost. We can benifit much from the invaluable experience and knowledge handed down from our ancestors and draw a lesson from the failure of our predecessors so as to avoid detour. Thirdly, when in university, one also has to learn to communicate and cooperate with teachers and fellow students, during which one cultivates friendship and acquires the interpersonal skills, both of which are conductive to one's future career and success. University is said to be a miniature society. Last of all, there are innumerable successful people who attribute their achievements to a formal university education. It is no wonder that so many parents spare no efforts to send their children to colleges and universities.

Wen Jiabao Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China At the 8th China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit Nanning, 21 October 2011 尊敬的纳吉布总理， 尊敬的洪森首相，

女士们，先生们： The Honorable Prime Minister Dato' Sri Najib, The Honorable Prime Minister Hun Sen, Ladies and Gentlemen, 今年是中国-东盟友好交流年，也是中国-东盟建立对话关系20周年。这次峰会以“深化区域合作，实现共同繁荣”为主题，很有意义。我代表中国政府，对会议的召开表示热烈祝贺，对各位嘉宾的莅临表示诚挚欢迎。 This year is the China-ASEAN Friendship and Exchange Year and the 20th anniversary of China-ASEAN dialogue relations. It is therefore highly relevant for the summit to take "deepen regional cooperation for common prosperity" as its theme. On behalf of the Chinese government, I wish to extend warm congratulations on the opening of the summit and sincere welcome to all the distinguished guests present. 中国与东盟国家或山水相连，或隔海相望。自古以来，我们的祖先就共同生息、繁衍在亚洲这片热土上。“远亲不如近邻”。地缘这根纽带把我们紧密联系在一起，无论在中国，还是在东盟国家，随处都可以看到双方文化交流、影响、融合的印记，至今传诵着郑和下西洋、文莱渤泥王来华、万隆会议这样脍炙人口的历史佳话。中国和东盟各国人民之间的传统友谊源远流长、历久弥新。 China and ASEAN countries are linked by the same mountains and rivers or face each other across the sea. Our forefathers have, since ancient times, lived and multiplied in Asia, the homeland for us all. As the Chinese saying goes, "It's better to have a neighbor close by than a relative far away." Geographic proximity has brought us close to each other. One can easily find vestiges of interaction and integration of our cultures whether in China or ASEAN countries. Stories of Admiral Zheng He's many voyages to the Western Seas, travel to China by Boni King of Brunei, and the Bandung Conference have been told from generation to generation. Indeed, the traditional friendship between the Chinese people and the people of ASEAN countries has run a long course and is poised to become even stronger.

外交学院英语翻译硕士考研真题,考研经验

翻译硕士考研指导 2016外交学院英语翻硕考研-英汉翻译-如何选词有些词看起来很简单，翻译是一下子就会想到常用的对应词。但有时最常用的对应词却不能准确地表达原作的意思，这是因为一个词的具体含义往往要结合上下文才能确定，在翻译的时候也只有综合上下文来考虑怎样处理这个词，才能译得准确。那么在处理一个词的时候要注意哪些方面呢？ 一、吃透原文 例1：各级干部要认真学习马列著作和毛主席著作，刻苦钻研业务，提高领导水平。（五届人大一次会议文件） Cadres at all levels should apply themselves to the study of works by Marx, Engels,Lenin and Stalin and by Chairman Mao,gain the professional proficiency required by their jobs,and improve their art of leadership. 我们一看到“水平”往往首先想到level.在大多数情况下，译作level是可以的。如“科学文化水平”，译作scientific and cultural level.但是在这里“领导水平”指的是领导能力、领导艺术，所以译作art of leadership. 例2：要奋发图强，把我军的军政素质提高到一个新的水平…… We must work hard to raise to a new height the military and political quality of our army. 这里的“水平”指高度，故译作height,和动词搭配也比较顺。 例3：还要努力读一点历史和小说。 We should also find time to read some history books and novels. 这里“努力”一词理解为“挤出时间”是对的。如译作make an effort,则会让人误解为 我们的文化水平很低，读历史和小说很吃力。 二、免生歧义 例1：延安虽然还没有战争，但军队天天在前方打仗，后方也唤工作忙，文章太长了，有谁来看呢？ Although there is as yet no fighting here in Yanan,our troops at the front

上海外国语大学mti英语翻译硕士考研真题

一、翻译硕士英语（211） 1.选择题（20*1') 考单词为主，后面有几道语法。单词以专八词汇为主，少量的gre词汇。 2.阅读（20*1'） 四篇阅读，个人觉得很简单，文章很短，只有一面的长度吧，用专八阅读练习足够了。 3.改错（10*1'） 比专八改错简单、前几年考的是修辞和英美文化常识、或古希腊神话典故。 4.作文（50分，500字） 谈谈你对happiness的定义。 二、英语翻译基础（357）

1.英译汉（75分） 该部分选取的是卢梭的《爱弥儿》（Emile, or On Education）部分文章，主要选自《爱弥儿》第三卷第一节。全文1000多字，共11段，但题目只要求翻译划线部分，总计翻译872字，共6段。完整原文如下： The whole course of man's life up to adolescence is a period of weakness; yet there comes a time during these early years when the child's strength overtakes the demands upon it, when the growing creature, though absolutely weak, is relatively strong. His needs are not fully developed and his present strength is more than enough for them. He would be a very feeble man, but he is a strong child. What is the cause of man's weakness? It is to be found in the disproportion between his strength and his desires. It is our passions that make us weak, for our natural strength is not enough for their satisfaction. To limit our desires comes to the same thing, therefore, as to increase our strength. When we can do more than we want, we have strength enough and to spare, we are really strong. This is the third stage of childhood, the stage with which I am about to deal. I still speak of childhood for want of a better word; for our scholar is approaching adolescence, though he has not yet reached the age of puberty. About twelve or thirteen the child's strength increases far more rapidly than his needs. The strongest and fiercest of the passions is still unknown, his physical development is still imperfect and seems to await the call of the will. He is scarcely aware of extremes of heat and cold and braves them with impunity. He needs no coat, his blood is warm; no spices, hunger is his sauce, no food comes amiss at this age; if he is sleepy he stretches himself on the ground and goes to sleep; he finds all he needs within his reach; he is not tormented by any imaginary wants; he cares nothing what others think; his desires are not beyond his grasp; not only is he self-sufficing, but for the first and last time in his life he has more strength than he needs. I know beforehand what you will say. You will not assert that the child has more needs than I attribute to him, but you will deny his strength. You forget that I am speaking of my own pupil, not of those puppets who walk with difficulty from one room to another, who toil indoors and carry bundles of paper. Manly strength, you say, appears only with manhood; the vital spirits, distilled in their proper vessels and spreading through the whole body, can alone make the muscles firm, sensitive, tense, and springy, can alone cause real strength. This is the philosophy of the study;

2015北二外英语翻译硕士真题 1 二外 我学的是法语。今年总体来说不难。 题型无变化，还是35个单选：主要考语法词汇，有不少是往年的真题。一篇完型，今年考得是一篇关于节日给家人送礼物的。阅读两篇：算是整份试卷最难的了，词汇很多不认识，不过作对一大半还是没问题的。汉译法5个句子，也有几个表达是考过了（我看过，没记住啊）。最后一篇法译汉，太不难了，可以称作是历年最简单的，讲的是法国面包消费的问题，但是哟几个单词没猜出来是啥意思。 2 翻译基础 今年的题也比去年简单，汉译英，英译汉都只有一篇。（话说14年的题量得多上一倍，考前模拟一下做完就很有难度啊。考前就猜到今年会较少题量，果然被我猜中！） 词汇翻译：15个英译汉，大概有digit divide； ALS； FTAAP；UNCDP；existentalism；Bogor Goals；sinology；amino acid 汉译英：十八届四中全会亚太经合组织逆袭真人秀和而不同互联互通（忘了，真的是记性不好） 段落翻译：英译汉是关于1992年里约大会后环境方面的问题，主要是关于环境立法的，句子都挺长的。关键是搞清楚逻辑关系和意思吧。 汉译英是一段关于中国传统价值观的，大概是：《中庸》里说：“好学近乎知，力行近乎仁，知耻近乎勇。”最后一句“知耻近乎勇”中的“耻”其实是人之所以为人的一个文明尺度。……孟子说“恻隐之心，人皆有之；……（说了四心）。” 恻隐之心，就是不忍，就是“恕”，就是“己所不欲勿施于人”；恭敬之心，就是文明礼貌；是非之心，就是坚持社会的公平正义；羞恶之心，就是知耻。此四心，孟子称之为“四端”，也就是人开始的地方。没有四心，就不能称之为人，孟子称之为“非人”。 孟子的四端在我们现在社会的意义无需多提。我们当今社会人与人之间的同情心都成了稀罕物。人们的见死不救难道只是因为害怕被法律误判吗？我认为不是。主要原因是人们缺乏同情心……。如果现在要提人们共同的价值观，我认为仁义礼智信最为合适。这五个字来源于中国传统文化的根本价值，应该成为全社会的价值观。 （大概是这个样子）
