Part A: Spot Dictation

Was it envisioned for the euro to eventually become such a strong currency that it could compete with the dollar on a global level? Or was that a dream then and is it still a dream now?

I think it was an attainable dream, and it is becoming actually, in some ways, less attainable right now.

You may ask why?

Well, the dream to give credit where credit is due was not only advocated by some European officials but by some American economists, including our Institute's director, Fred Bergsten, who was way out in the front with that. Richard Portes, who teaches at London Business School, also was way out in front with that. And they were very much against the tide of people like Martin Feldstein and others in London and the United States who were very skeptical towards the euro.

At face value, the euro area is the same size in GDP as the United States, roughly speaking. The euro area does have very large and deep financial markets, although the more you look in detail, there are still some things there that differentiate it from the United States. And the euro area has delivered price stability. They have a very low rate of inflation pretty consistently. So you

put those three things together, on paper it looks like the euro should be at least a very clear second to the dollar in investor's portfolios, in government reserve holdings, in how much you invoice trade like oil or planes or things like that.

But what our research finds in this book -- in particular in good chapters by Kristin Forbes and Linda Goldberg -- is the fact that if you look under the hood a bit, there is a huge shortfall between what you would expect just based on size and how much the euro is used. So there's an awful lot of trade that's still invoiced in dollars, not in euros, even between countries that are not dollar countries. There are huge amounts of financial flows that come to the United States, and the depth of European assets and financial flows is not commensurate with the size.

【解析】

本文节选自Growing Pains for the Euro。在段落一开始，作者就抛出了一个问题：欧元最终成为一种能与美元相抗衡的国际货币是不是一场梦？并指出这个期望相比曾经，正变的越来越难以实现。

文中指出，虽然欧元的确有广大的经济市场，而且通货膨胀的概率也较小，但是通过研究发现，如果一旦深探，就会看到期望值与欧元的实际使用率之间存在着巨大差额，以致在一些非美元使用区中，流通的货币仍然为美元。

本文的题材虽然为考生比较惧怕的经济类，但是如果能够听懂首段作者的提问，以及之后作者的态度I think it was an attainable dream, and it is becoming actually, in some ways, less attainable right now，就不难马上领悟全文的主旨。

考生平时要多多关注常考的经济类文章，有了平时的积累，才能在考场上发挥自如。

W: So, one of the things that I really have trouble understanding is how jazz music developed to be so different from many other kinds of music? My class

notes are terrible.

M: Well, what can't you understand from your notes?

W: Uh, one thing is I copied down the musical training from the blackboard. What did it mean by that?

M: Well, most people who became professional musicians have some kind of formal training in music. But the first people who play jazz music had almost none.

W: OK, but so what? Doesn't it just mean that they weren't very good musicians?

M: Well, it's not that the early jazz musicians weren't good; it's that they played their instruments differently. Let's say you are receiving formal instruction in the trumpet. First you would learn the right way to place your mouth, and the right way to use your fingers, and the right way to blow air. And then you will practice single notes and different combination of notes until you could do those correctly. And only after that, would your teacher give you a piece of music to play.

W: And the early jazz musician didn't learn to play this way?

M: No, the first people who play jazz music learned to play their instrument by actually trying to play a song the way they like. They were humanity, and tried to play themselves on their instruments. Because they were mostly teaching themselves, they began to express themselves in ways that formally traditionally trained musicians didn't. In traditional instruction, there is one correct way to play something, and everyone who plays tries to make the correct sound. But in jazz...

W: In jazz music, there isn't one right way to play. In fact, individual musicians are supposed to interpret the music in their own style. So you are saying that this aspect of jazz developed because the first people who play jazz didn't have any formal musical training?

M: Yes, I believe so.

Q1: What is the woman most probably according to the conversation?

Q2: What is the problem the woman has trouble understanding?

Q3: How did early jazz musicians learn to play their instrument?

Q4: Which of the following is true according to the conversation?

Q5: Why did jazz music develop to be so different from many other kinds of music?

【解析】

本文难度并不大，围绕着女生的疑问以及男生的解答，讲述了爵士是如何发展成一种与其他种类相距甚大的音乐的。

对话中，女生无法理解音乐训练这一点，于是男生回答说不同于其他正规音乐指导，比如想要吹喇叭，就要从嘴部、手指，以及吹气一步步训练起来。而最早玩爵士乐的人并没有如此的训练，而是单纯用自己的风格将音乐演奏出来，这也就造就了爵士乐与其他音乐的大不同。

London, the United Kingdom

The UK housing market is seeing a slight pick-up in activity with mortgage lending and prices both rising, figures have suggested. Gross mortgage lending was up 4% in April, compared with March, to ￡12.1bn, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders. This was 21% higher than April 2012, but this data is skewed by the end of the stamp duty concession a year ago. Official figures show UK house prices rose by 2.7% in the past twelve months. However, this was driven by rises in England and Wales, with property price falls in Scotland and Northern Ireland, according to the Office for National Statistics.

Paris, France

Developed economies returned to growth in the first three months of the year, although the euro zone continued to lag behind the U.S. and Japan, according to figures released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, Tuesday. The Paris-based research body said the combined gross domestic product of its 34 developed-country members grew by 0.4% from the final three months of 2012. There were “diverging patterns”across its members, but that largely involved a contrast between contractions in France,

Italy and the euro zone as a whole, and a pickup in growth in Japan, the U.S. and the U.K. With growth so unbalanced and business and consumer confidence weak in the face of uncertainties surrounding the outcome of the euro zone’s fiscal crisis and fiscal difficulties in the U.S., economists don’t expect a strong pickup in global growth in the near term.

Washington, the United States

Apple has been accused of being "among America's largest tax avoiders". A Senate committee said Apple had used "a complex web of offshore entities" to avoid paying billions of dollars in US income taxes. But it said there was no indication the firm acted illegally. Apple chief Tim Cook will go before the panel on Tuesday. In prepared testimony Apple said it did not use tax gimmicks. The US Senate had said that Apple paid little or nothing on billions of dollars in profits placed in Irish subsidiaries. The company says it is one of the largest taxpayers in the US, having paid $6bn in federal corporate income tax in the 2012 fiscal year. US corporation tax is one of the highest in the world at 35%. However, companies typically pay far less, thanks to numerous deductions and exemptions.

At least 91 people, including 20 children, are feared to have been killed by a huge tornado which tore through Oklahoma City suburbs, local officials say. Worst hit was Moore, south of the city, where neighborhoods were flattened and schools destroyed by winds of up to 200mph. About 120 people are being treated in hospitals. President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster in

Oklahoma. He also ordered federal authorities to join in the search efforts which have continued throughout the night. The official death toll is 51, but local authorities say the figure is expected to rise as another 40 bodies have been found.

W: Hi, Paul. Thanks very much for joining us today. You’ve spent the past 20 years as a physician working in some of the poorest places on earth. And over that time, you’ve written a lot about inequality and health care. How has the connection affected your work?

M: I think in a way, studying in difficult places at a squatter settlement in central Haiti has been very helpful to our work. Because there’s an extremity hid there in terms of the health status of the people. And what’s available to them that you just have to confront early on. There isn’t health infrastructure. There aren’t people there to deliver health services whether prevention or care. And yet, that’s precisely where the sickest people are. I think looking back to 20 something years ago, it was because we started in that setting that we had to develop models that would work in places with very scant health infrastructure and knowing that we would build it over time. But that there was a lot that you could do immediately -- train local people to be community health workers, erect modest facilities and try to provide high quality care. That’s how it started for us in Haiti. And really, that's the model we’ve taken to the other nine countries in which we work.

W: It sounds so you needed to deal with issues that many people might not consider medical like housing and water, and things like that.

M: That is true. There are two ways to look at this. I think as a physician or a provider of services. If I'm in the Harvard training hospital and I'm a surgeon, then no one's going to expect me to diagnose and treat the disease but also build the operating room and find electricity and supplies. But that's very much what we have to do. So, there's that side of the model and that leads as you’ve said to listening hard to what patients say about their other problems. If you have someone who has typhoid, they got that because they don't have clean drinking water. So, you can keep spending your whole life treating typhoid which can be a fatal disease as you probably know. Or you can treat typhoid and try to put in clean water.

Q11. What’s the man’s job most probably?

Q12. For how many years has the man worked in Haiti?

Q13. Why does the man think starting work in Haiti has been very helpful to his work?

Q14. They did several things to build a model in Haiti. Which of the following is

not one of these things?

Q15. Apart from diagnosing and treating the disease, what should a doctor do when he works in Haiti?

【解析】

根据女性的问题可以听出，该访谈的对象是一名在海地（Haiti）工作的医生。该医生除了治病救人之外，还十分关注海地社会中的不平等以及该国的医疗卫生状况。在贫困地区进行的研究给他的工作带来了巨大的帮助，那里医疗基础设施条件差、医疗服务从业者稀少，但是他们克服了重重阻碍，建立起了医疗设施，训练当地人成为社区医疗服务者，为当地以及其他贫困国家和地区医疗卫生事业的发展树立了模范。

本篇听力难度适中，对于一些专有名词如Haiti、typhoid，如果听不出，不用过分纠结，重点是把握大意，抓住一些重点细节，如数字、时间、工作具体内容等等。

Listening comprehension 4

Thank you all for coming to my talk this evening. It’s nice to see so many people in the audience. For those of you who don’t know very much about PS Camping. Let me start by giving you some background information about the company.

The company started 25 years ago. It actually opened as a retail chain selling camping equipment. And then twenty years ago, it bought a small number of campsites in the UK, and began offering camping holidays. The company grew rapidly and has been providing holidays in continental Europe for the last fifteen years.

If you book a camping holiday with us, you’ll have a choice of over three hundred sites. In Italy we now have some 64 sites that we either own, or have exclusive use of. France is where we have the majority of sites, and we currently have a project to expand into Switzerland. We also have a number of sites in Northern Spain, particularly in the mountainous region of Picos de Europa.

We’ve upgraded all these Spanish sites, and improved them considerably from their original three-star rating.

We believe our holidays offer superb facilities for the whole family. Parents who want their children to be fully occupied for all or part of the day can take advantage of our children’s activities. These are organized by our well-qualified and enthusiastic staff. Each day kicks off with a sports match, perhaps football, or volleyball, followed by an hour of drama for everyone. This may include singing or dancing, mime or other activities. In the afternoon, there’s a different art activity for each day of the week including a poster competition or model making. What’s more, our sites are truly child-friendly, and, with this in mind, we operate a no-noise rule in the evenings. Children’s evening activities usually finish at 9:30, or occasionally 10, and from 10:30 holiday-makers are expected to be quiet in the areas where there are tents.

We want nothing to go wrong on a PS Camping holiday, but if it does, we also want all customers to be insured. If you haven’t organized an annual insurance policy of your own you’ll need to take out the low-cost cover we offer and we require that you arrange this when you make your holiday reservation.

There are many advantages to choosing PS Camping, and to recommending it to others. As a regular customer, you’ll be kept informed of special offers. And you can benefit from ten per cent off their holiday, or book a luxury tent for the price of a standard one. In return, we’ll send you a thank-you present, which you can choose from a list of high-quality items.

Q16. How many years ago was the company PS Camping established in the UK? Q17. What was the company’s business when it opened in the UK?

Q18. In which of the following countries does the company have the majority of camping sites?

Q19. There are several kinds of activities which can fully occupy children for all or part of the day. Which of the following is not one of these?

Q20. Which of the following is an advantage that a regular customer can enjoy from the company?

【解析】

本篇听力取材于雅思考试真题，内容是一家名叫PS Camping公司的介绍，包括公司历史，业务范围，各项活动，优惠政策等等。该公司成立于25年前，原本是一家露营装备销售商，后来转向为露营假日活动组织者，在欧洲大陆业务发展迅速。该公司能够为客户组织各种

活动供全家娱乐，但要求客户投保，最后还提供了给老客户的多项优惠政策。

除了专有名词Picos de Europa（欧罗巴山）之外，全文没有生僻词汇。五个题目均是常见的细节题，而文中细节要素比较多，要求考生注意力集中，抓住细节做好笔记，选出正确答案。

Note Taking and Gap Filling

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Last week, we talked about some important terms in environmental science. Shall you still remember them, right? So in today’s environmental science class, I want to discuss a few of the terms here, actually some ideas about how we manage our resources. Let’s talk about what that means.

If we take resources like water, now maybe we should get a little bit more specific here, back from a more general case and talk about underground water in particular. So hydro geologists have tried to figure out how much water can we take out from underground sources. That has been an important question. Let me ask you guys, how much water, based on what you know so far, could you take out of , say, an aquifer…under the city. As much as what gets recharged?

Ok. So we wouldn’t like to take out more than naturally comes into it. The implication is that, well, if you only take as much out as comes in. You’re not going to deplete the amount of water that stores in there. Right? Wrong. But that’s the principle. That’s the idea behind how we manage our water supplies. It’s called Safe Yield. Basically what this message says is that you can pump as much water out of the system as naturally recharges, as naturally flows back in. So this principle of safe yield is based on balancing what we take out with what gets recharged. But what it does is it ignores how much water naturally comes out of the system, and natural system of certain matter of recharge comes in and certain matter of water naturally flowing out through springs, streams and lakes, and over long terms the amount that’s stored in the aquifer doesn’t really change much. It’s balanced. Now humans come in and start taking water out of the system. How have we changed the equation? It’s not balanced any more. Right. We take water out but water also naturally flows out. And the recharge rate doesn’t change. So the result is we’ve reduced the amount of water that stores in the underground system. If you keep doing that long enough, if you pump as much water out as naturally comes in,

gradually the underground water level will drop. And when that happens, they can’t fix service water. How? Well, underground systems there are natural discharge points, places where the water flows out from the underground systems and into lakes and streams. Well, a drop of water level can mean those discharge points will eventually dry up, and that means water’s not getting to lakes and streams that depend on it. So we end up reducing the surface water supply, too. You know, in the state of Arizona, we’re managing some major water supplies with the principle of safe yield and under this method they will eventually dry up the natural discharge points of those aquifer systems. Now, why is this an issue? Well, aren’t some of you going to want to live in the state for a while? Won’t your kids grow up here, and your kids’ kids? You maybe concerned with “dose Arizona have water supplies which is sustainable—a key word here. What that means? The general definition of sustainable is whether it is enough to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of the future to have the availability to have the same resources. Now, I hope you see these two ideas are incompatible---sustainability and safe yield. Because what sustainability means is that it’s sustainable for all systems that depend on the water, for the people who use it, and for supplying water to the dependent water bodies like some streams. So I’m going to repeat this. So, if we are using a safe yield method, we’re only balancing what we take out with what gets recharged, but don’t forget, water also flows out naturally. Then the amount that has stored under ground gradually gets reduced, and that is going to lead to another problem: these discharge points with water flowing out the lakes and streams, they’re going to dry up. Ok?

Passage Translation E-C 1

A person's age no longer tells you anything about his or her social position, marriage or health. There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that keeps us on time and tells us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing. We start looking with surprised at old people who act in useful ways.

【参考译文】

一个人的年龄不再能够说明他或她的社会地位、婚姻以及健康状况。人们上学，工作，结婚或者组建家庭也不再有确切的时间。使我们按部就班、告诉我们何时上学、工作或退休的社会时钟也不再像从前那样强大。当我们听到有29岁当大学校长，35岁成祖母或70岁才头次当上爸爸这样的消息时，也不足为怪了。人们的观念正在改变。我们开始惊讶地发现老人们老当益壮。

【评析】

细心的同学会发现这个段落在四六级作文中出现过。主要讲的是社会老龄化的问题。该话题是当前社会面临的热点及需要重点解决的问题。因此同学在备考时多关注热会热点，关注时事。同时，注意有些考试材料有相通性，多多积累。本段落中多次出现定于从句，因此备考时，这一语法注意在翻译实践中提升。

Passage Translation E-C 2

You may ask, “Is all these concern about sarcasm in language really important? Are there more serious issues facing women today?“Of course, there are many serious issues facing women. I mean, there are so many that I could mention. The aids quashes, workplace and equality, the way the mass media trace women, that is, the way they stereotype women and so on. But I’d like to point out that in addition to these issues. The language question is also on the minds of international organizations, such as, United Nations, who try very hard to avoid sarcasm in their publications. The issue isn’t just the words themselves but the ideas behinds the words.

【参考译文】

你可能会问：“所有有关讽刺的语言真的很重要吗？”“当今妇女面临的还有更严重的问题吗？”当然，妇女面临着更多更严重的问题。我的意思是，在这方面我可以提到的话题很多。艾滋病撤消，工作场所和平等，大众媒体对妇女的描述，即他们刻板地用老一套方式对待妇女等。不过，我想指出的是除了这些问题，语言问题也是国际组织需面临的问题。如联合国极力避免在其出版物中用嘲讽语言。这个问题不只是语言本身，而是语言背后的思想实质。

【评析】

该段落主要强调讽刺性语言运用问题。其他提到一些列举的妇女面临的问题与该问题对比突出语言问题也急需重视起来。因此翻译时，理解全段落的主旨大意之后，再下笔就容易多了。

中美两国建交以来，人民之间的交往不断扩大。两国已缔结了23对友好省州和123对姊妹城市。去年，到中国旅游的美国人多达131万人次。中国赴美探亲、求学、经商的有44万人次。中国有超过18万人曾在美国留学，目前在读的留学生有六万余人。而在中国学习的美国留学生只有约3000人，位居外国在华留学人数第三位。中美在教育领域的交流与合作还有很大发展空间。中国绝大多数大中小学都学习英语，总人数超过1.2亿。美国已有近1000所高校和200多所中小学开设了中文课程，华人华侨开办了近600所中文学校，包括在马里兰大学创建的孔子学院。但与中美交往的需要将比，美国的汉语教学任重道远。 下面是presentation内容： Remarks at Jinan University, Guangzhou by U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke Tuesday, October 27, 2009 美国商务部长骆家辉在广州暨南大学的演讲 2009年10月27日 Good afternoon everyone. It is an honor to be with you at Jinan University. I have been looking forward to this visit to southern China for some time. My roots are here. The ancestral home of my family, a village called Jilong, where my mother and father were married, is located here in Guangdong Province. My brother and sisters and I, and our spouses, were delighted to join my parents when they returned for a visit a few years ago. It was the trip of a lifetime for all of us. Let me begin this afternoon by congratulating each of you for your acceptance at one of China’s premie r universities. Jinan has produced countless government, business, and academic leaders throughout its history –and is recognized as one of the leading research universities in China. You are here at Jinan at a time in Chinese and world history that is at the same time frightening and exciting. On top of a struggling global economy, our world has more serious issues to deal with than we'd all care to count. Climate change, poverty, disease, terrorism -- each issue on its own is enough to consume all of our time. But we've got to deal with them all at once. It's enough to make anyone despair for the future. But not me. I'm optimistic and confident the world is equipped to deal with the challenges we face -- and a big part of the reason is seeing young people like you. Because although these problems are daunting, they do have solutions. Many of them can be solved with

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

上海高级口译第四版教材与第三版教材对比

上海高级口译第四版教材与第三版教材对比 上海英语高级口译证书考试项目系列教程（以下简称“高级教程”）第三版与2006年由上海外语教育出版社出版发行。第三版出版五年来，国际和国内局势发生了不少变化。与时俱进是口译工作的特点，作为英语口译证书考试项目系列教程，需要根据形势的变化对内容作必要地更新。为此，上海市高校浦东继续教育中心和上海外语口译证书考试委员会2010年决定组织修订英语高级口译证书考试项目系列教程，并于2011年推出第四版。 沪江小编发布了第四版教材的书讯（点击查看>>）后，大家都很关心教材的更新情况，这里，小编请到沪江网校的老师们在教材更新方面给大家做个详解。 《高级听力教程》： 从整体来看，《高级听力教程》是高级教程中改动幅度最大的教程。全书改动比例约为70%。主要体现在： 1. 新版听力教程更注重“实用性”。新版教程一个最大的特点是删除了旧版教材中“和考试题没有直接关系”的内容。旧版教材中有40%左右的内容是和考试题没有直接关系的，比如说听力理解题后的“T/F题”，“排序题”“outline填空题”“听力问答题”等。但旧版教材设置大量看似“与考试无关系”的题，其实用意是让学生完成从一般的英语听力理解到听译的过渡。这40%的内容难度在一般的听力理解题和听译阶段之间。考生认认真真学习完整套教材后，会发现自己的听力能力，听译能力在不知不觉中得到了实质性的提升。 新版教材删除了这40%的内容，取而代之的是与考试题型一致的材料，凸显了听力教程的实用性。新版教材根据听力考试题型设置板块和内容，使听力教程更具有针对性。考生如果能扎实学完整套听力教程，会发现自己在解答各种题型时会更熟练，同时听力能力和听译能力也有长足的进步。 2. 新版听力教程听力材料更新比例约为60%，新选听力材料更具“时代感”，同时也延续了旧版教材中“选材多样化”的特点。听力教程16个单元80篇课文中有48篇是新的。比如说第一单元增加了Single-sex Education, 第二单元增加了Increasing Juvenile Crime、Because You are a Lawyer、The Victim of a Crime, 第三单元增加了Mass Urbanization、Modern Life is Full of Nasty Noises、How is Urbanization Negatively Affecting Our Society?等等。这些新选的材料贴近生活，同时也很具有“时代感”。 《高级口译教程》 与旧版相比，新版《高级口译教程》全书的调整幅度有40%左右，主要体现在： 1. 50%左右的单元中课程内容有更新，新选课文“时代感”增强，语言口语化，内容更有趣。新版口译教程中，单元课程内容有更新的单元包括第2，第3，第5，第9，第12，第13，第14单元。调整内容主要是新选了1~2篇配套练习。新选的课文主要是近4年的会议致辞。比如说，第2单元新选的2篇课后练习英译中为2008年ＪＫ罗琳在哈佛大学的演讲，中译英为2009年杨洁篪在日内瓦外交与国际关系学院的演讲。第13单元新选的课文有2007年温家宝总理在新加坡国立大学的演讲，2010年温家宝在联大的题为《认识一个真实的中国》的演讲。
