Americans drink enough bottled water each week to circle the globe two times around. That was one of the many alarming facts that motivated politicians in San Francisco to pursue a progressive environmental regulation no other major US city had dared—a ban on bottled water.

The liberal California city had previously led the way on banning plastic shopping bags, but the 2014 proposal to restrict bottled water was more modest. Although the board of supervisors voted unanimously to phase out the sale of single-use plastic water bottles, the rule only applied to city property.

Even though San Francisco is known as one of the most environmentally progressive cities in the country—the first in the US to pass a comprehensive mandatory recycling and composting

law—officials limited the bottled water ban to city-owned land, leaving private businesses unaffected.

The ordinance, which has expanded in recent years, also bars the sale of bottled water at large events on city properties and prohibits San Francisco government agencies from purchasing plastic bottled water. Legislators also called for increased investment in water fountains, filling stations and even water hook-ups. Even limited to city property, the rollout of the law hasn′t always been easy. Banned from selling bottled water at city events, some vendors switched to alternatives that are also ecologically harmful, such as water in cans, glass bottles or other single-use containers. Earlier 2017, the city expanded the law to restrict the sale or distribution of "packaged" water on city property, including sealed boxes, bags, cans and other containers with a capacity of one liter or less. The city does not have data on the law′s impacts on plastic waste reduction in the region. But given the fact that plastic bottles take centuries to decompose and that the vast majority of bottles end up in landfills, any decrease in consumption is a step in the right direction.

It is hoped the law could help shift the culture in California and beyond back to the habits that were common before bottled water exploded. In 1976, the average American drank 1.6 gallons of bottled water a year—a number that skyrocketed to 28.3 gallons three decades later. "The bottled water industry has spent millions of dollars to convince us that the only place you can get safe water is from a bottle, and that we need this product," said Lauren DeRusha Florez, an associated campaign director with Corporate Accountability International, a nonprofit group that backed San Francisco′s measure. More than 100 American cities have adopted measures to restrict government spending on bottled water, and bans have also spread at national parks and universities. But Florez said San Francisco′s measure is particularly forward-thinking in the way it prioritizes increasing access to safe tap water, which is critical at a time when there are increasing concerns about contamination of water supplies? in the US following the? crisis in Flint, Michigan. "The city is reinforcing water as a public good rather than a commodity that can be bought and sold by corporations." San Francisco is not currently exploring a broader citywide prohibition on bottled water, but following the success of major plastic bag bans across the country, environmental activists are increasingly turning their attention to bottles, Flores added.

Wildlife-based tourism is growing rapidly worldwide as the number of tourists continues to grow and as we, as travellers, seek out new and more enriching personal experiences with local cultures and wildlife. Experiencing the natural beauty of places like the Amazon rainforest, Iguazú Falls and Machu Picchu and the local people fighting to protect them was life-changing.

The UN World Tourism Organisation estimates that 7% of world tourism relates to wildlife tourism, growing annually at about 3%, and much higher in some places, like our Unesco world heritage sites. A WWF report shows that 93% of all natural heritage sites support recreation and tourism and 91% of them provide jobs. In Belize, more than 50% of the population are said to be supported by income generated through reef-related tourism and fisheries. But the very assets that underpin this wildlife based tourism—the wildlife itself—are under severe threat. The threats come from a multitude of sources: habitat loss, pollution, infrastructure, climate change, over-exploitation and illegal trade, the most immediate threat to wildlife. If we lose the wildlife, we lose the wildlife based tourism and the jobs that go with it.

The surge in illegal wildlife trade witnessed in recent years is industrial in scale and is driven by transnational organised criminals. They target high-value wildlife without regard for the animals or people′s lives. They corrupt local officials, recruit and arm local poachers, plunder local wildlife, create insecurity and put local communities into a poverty spiral.

The international community is fighting back. There is a global collective effort underway to take on these criminals. But they are hard to beat. We cannot rely on law enforcement alone. We need the private sector, especially the transport, travel and tourism sectors, to join the fight. Many in the transport sector, especially airlines, have come on board largely thanks to HRH the Duke of Cambridge, through his Transport Task Force initiative. The tourism sector must join us as well, as must each one of us, as tourists.

Well-managed wildlife-based tourism can offer an economic opportunity that supports wildlife. It must be responsibly managed and operators must engage with staff, customers and, most importantly, local people. Staff can be eyes and ears for the police, and customers can stop buying illegally or unsustainably sourced wildlife products. Engaging local people is the key, and that takes effort. Evidence shows that when? local people have a stake in it they will be the best protectors of wildlife, as is evident in the Northern Rangelands Trust.

Tourism operators have the power to lift local people out of poverty in a manner that will be mutually beneficial and self-sustaining. Or they can choose not to engage with local communities and to invest in a manner that sees all of the profits go offshore—in which case I would say they are no better than the poachers and the smugglers. The reality is that the tourism sector is not a fringe player in the fight against illegal wildlife trade—it is right at the centre of it. Tourism operators are on the front line of this fight along with the customs and rangers and inspectors.

第63题

Which of the following is NOT listed as a source of threat to wildlife?

A.Habitat loss.

B.Infectious diseases.

C.Illegal trade.

D.Over-exploitation.

第64题

The annual growth rate of wildlife-based tourism is estimated at approximately ______.

C.50%

D.91%

第65题

The word "surge" in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ______.

A.benefit

B.operation

C.torrent

D.soar

第66题

All the following statements about wildlife-related criminals are true EXCEPT that ______.

A.they create jobs in the local community

B.they bribe local officials

C.they provide weapons to poachers

D.they disregard animal or human lives

第67题

What is the main idea of the passage?

A.The Duke of Cambridge has taken a major part in involving many airlines in the protection of wildlife.

B.Tourism should play a pivotal role in the fight against illegal wildlife trade.

C.Despite a global collective effort, it is no easy job to crack down on illegal wildlife trade.

D.The international community has yet to open its eyes to the damage of illegal wildlife trade.

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

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.?

Though Shanghai cannot rival Beijing in cultural heritage, its varied architectural styles and cosmopolitan feel give it a charm of its own. Today's Shanghai has become a world-famous international metropolis. A walk through this booming city reveals many glimpses of its colorful past. Hidden amongst the skyscrapers are remains of the original Shanghai. They keep on showing how Shanghai has been developing fast and enormously since its opening as a commercial port in the late 19th century, especially after the founding of new China. 【评析】 该篇翻译属于经典话题，类似于上海城市介绍，考生如果熟悉教材，注意积累相关句型词汇，特别是对“朝气蓬勃、充满活力dynamic, diverse and stimulating、缩影epitome、遗迹heritage、城市风貌cosmopolitan feel、万国建筑varied architectural styles”等常考的表达，应该可以顺利取得高分。 If you’ve ever been on a jury, you might have noticed that a funny thing happens the minute you get behind closed doors. Everybody starts talking about themselves. They say what they would have done if they had been the plaintiff or the defendant. Being on a jury reminds me why I can’t tolerate talk radio. We Americans seem to have lost the ability to talk about anything but our own experiences. We can’t seem to generalize without stereotyping or to consider evidence that goes against our own experience. I heard a doctor on a radio show talking about a study that found that exercise reduces the incidence of Alzheimer’s. And caller after caller couldn’t wait to make essentially the opposite point: “Well, my grandmother never exercised and she lived to 95.”We are in an age summed up by the saying: “I experience, therefore I’m right.”Historically, the hallmarks of an uneducated person were the lack of ability to think critically, to use deductive reasoning to distinguish the personal from the universal. Now that seems an apt description of many Americans. 【参考译文】 如果你曾经当过陪审员，你可能会注意到一件有趣的事情：一旦关上了门，所有人就开始谈论他们自己。他们会讨论，如果自己是原告或被告的话会做什么。担任陪审员的经历让我明白了我为什么无法忍受谈话性的广播节目。我们美国人似乎只剩下了谈论自己经历的能力。我们似乎无法抛开固有的成见进行总结，也无法客观地分析与自身经历相悖的证据。 我曾听过一位医生在之声节目上讲述一项研究，该研究发现锻炼能降低阿兹海默症（老

2017年下半年教师资格证考试《英语学科知识与教学能力》真题(高级中学)及详解

2017年下半年教师资格证考试 《英语学科知识与教学能力》真题（高级中学） (总分150, 考试时间120分钟) 一、单项选择题 本大题共 30 小题，每小题 2 分，共 60 分。在每小题列出的四个备选项中选择一个最佳答案，错选、多选或未选均无分。 1. The sound of "th" in "thin" is ( ). A voiceless, dental, and fricative B voiced, dental, and fricative C voiceless, dental, and affricative D voiced, dental, and affricative 答案:A 本题考查辅音的发音。本题属于语音知识，也属于语言学中语音学的知识。th 字母组合在单词thin 中发/θ/音，发此音时，声带是不振动的，即不带声的（voiceless）；另外，发/θ/音时舌头要顶住牙齿，所以叫齿音（dental)；按照发音方式，它是空气通过与牙齿摩擦发出的声音，属于擦音（fricative）。故本题选 A。 2. Of all the following pairs of words, ( ) is a minimal pair. A boot and bought B deep and dog C either and neither D ghost and best 答案:A 本题考查音系学中的最小对立体。最小对立体（minimal pair）指除了出现在同一位置上的一个音之外其余都相同的两个语音组合。在音位分析中，只涉及一个音素差别的对立体叫做最小对立体。如 pen[pen]和 ben[ben]。几个选项中只有 A 项中两个单词的元音发音不同，前后两个音都是爆破音/b/和/t/。故本题选 A。 3. ( ) can fly very high in ( ) sky. A The birds…the B The birds…/ C Birds…the D Birds…/ 答案:C 本题考查冠词。句意为"鸟可以在天空中飞得很高"。"不定冠词+单数名词"或单个复数名词可表示一类，这里 birds 指的是鸟类，表示泛指，不加定冠词；sky 是世界上独一无二的事物，前面用定冠词 the 修饰。故本题选 C。 4. In my opinion she is kind and polite, so I put her rudeness today down as ( ). A ordinary B untimely C progessive D accidental 答案:D 本题考查形容词辨析。句意为"在我看来她是善良和有礼貌的，因此我认为她今天的粗鲁是偶然的"。ordinary"普通的"，untimely"过早的，不适时的"，progressive"进步的；进行的"，accidental"意外的，偶然的"。故本题选 D。 5. With spring approaching, the pink of the apple-blossom is beginning to ( ). A show B grow C rise D ascend 答案:A 本题考查动词辨析。句意为"随着春天的到来，粉红的苹果花开始出现在枝头"。show"露出，出

9月中级口译真题+参考答案(5)

9月中级口译真题+参考答案(5) SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST （1）（30 minutes） Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. The culture of any society is usually thought to be of two kinds: material and nonmaterial. Material culture includes the man-made phenomena which have physical properties such as height, breadth, and weight. A boat, a machine, a house-all these objects are part of the material culture. The nonmaterial culture is that portion of the environment which surrounds man and which has an impact on his behavior but which lacks these material properties: values, beliefs, traditions, and all the other habits and ideas invented and acquired by man as a member of society. Contemporary sociological theory tends to assign primary importance to the nonmaterial culture in choosing problems for study. It assumes, for example, that boats, planes, automobiles, and so forth, are not nearly so important as the traditions we have developed which make their manufacture possible-indeed, which prescribe how we are to use them. The emphasis of contemporary sociology is to insist that the material culture would not exist had not the nonmaterial culture first been available to suggest the ideas which are embodied in the inventions of material culture. SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST （2）（30 minutes） Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. 进入耶鲁大学的校园，看到莘莘学子青春洋溢的脸庞，呼吸着书香浓郁的空气，我不由回想起40年前在北京清华大学度过的美好时光。当年老师们对我的教诲，同学们给我的启发，我至今仍受用不尽。
