职称英语综合类概括大意与完成句子第9篇Transport and Trade逐句翻译

Transport and Trade交通与贸易

Transport is one of the aids to trade. 交通是贸易的辅助手段之一。By moving goods from places where they are plentiful to places where they are scarce，transport adds to their value.把货物从它们比较丰富的地区运到这种货物稀少的地区，交通增加了它们的价值。The more easily goods can be brought over the distance that separates producer and consumer，the better for trade. 把货物从生产者那里运送到一定距离之外的消费者那里越容易，对贸易就越有利。When there were no railways，no good roads，no canals，and only small sailing ships，trade was on a small scale.过去没有铁路，没有很好的公路，也没有运河，只有小帆船，所以贸易的规模很小。

The great advances made in transport during the last two hundred years were accompanied by a big increase in trade. 在过去的两百年中，运输业取得了巨大的进展，伴之而来的是贸易的迅猛增长。Bigger and faster ships enabled a trade in meat to develop between Britain and New Zealand，for instance. 例如，更大更快的轮船使英国和新西兰之间发展了肉食贸易。Quicker transport makes possible mass-production and big business，drawing supplies from，

and selling goods to，all parts of the globe.快捷的运输使大批量的生产和大的企业成为可能。它们从全球各地购买原料，又把产品销售到全球各地。Big factories could not exist without transport to carry the large number of workers they need to and from their homes. 如果没有方便的交通把他们所需的大批工人从家乡带来或送回，大的工厂就不可能存在。Big city stores could not have developed unless customers could travel easily from the suburbs and goods delivered to their homes.除非顾客们能很快从郊区赶到城里并且货物能迅速地被送到家里，否则，城市里的大商场也不可能发展起来。Big cities could not survive unless food could be brought from a distance.除非食物能从远处运来，否则，大城市也无法生存。

Transport also prevents waste. 交通能够防止浪费。Much of the fish landed at the ports would be wasted if it could not be taken quickly to inland towns. 如果大量的鱼被运到了港口却不能很快送往内陆城镇，那么很多就要被浪费。Transport has given us a much greater variety of foods and goods since we no longer have to live on what is produced locally. 交通使我们的食品和货物丰富起来，因为我们再也无须以当地所产的东西为主要食品了。Foods which at one time could be obtained only during a part of the year can now be obtained all

through the year. 过去一年内某一时间才能得到的食物现在一年四季都可以得到。Transport has raised the standard of living.交通提高了人们的生活水平。

By moving fuel，raw materials，and even power，as，for example，through electric cables，transport has led to the establishment of industries and trade in areas where they would have been impossible before.通过运输燃料、原料，甚至电力（例如，可通过电缆），交通使工业和贸易在原来不可能的地区发展起来，Districts and countries can concentrate on making things which they can do better and more cheaply than others and can then exchange them with one another. 地区和国家可以集中生产那些比别的地区成本低、质量又好的产品，然后互相交换。The cheaper and quicker transport becomes，the longer the distance over which goods can profitably be carried. 交通运输越便宜越快捷，那么货物的产地和目的地之间的距离就越远，同时又能贏利。Countries with poor transport have a lower standard of living.交通落后的国家生活水平也较低。

Commerce requires not only the moving of goods and people but also the carrying of messages and information. 商业的发展不仅需要有货物和人口的迁移，而且要求信息的传递。Means of communication，like telephones，cables and

radio，send information about prices，supplies，and changing conditions in different parts of the world. 些联系手段，如电话、电报和无线电广播可以给人们带来世界各地的价格、供应的信息，让人们了解变化的情况。In this way，advanced communication systems also help to develop trade.这样，先进的通信系统可以以这种方式帮助发展贸易。

In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language work skills and economic status --- several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test.

2020年职称英语综合类C级概括大意历年真题及解析2020年真题 Interview with Allan Gray (1)I was working for a multinational company in the early 1980s, and my brother asked me if I was interested in going into partnership with him to set up a language school. I'd always wanted to work for myself, and I was a bit fed up with working for someone else, so I said yes. Primarily, I wanted the freedom to make my own decisions, I wanted room to be creative, and also I wanted to be able to get the credit and keep the profits if we were successful. I was also happy to carry the can and take the blame if things went wrong. These things are not possible if you work as an employee in a large organization. (2) I had to borrow money to help start the business, but we were lucky because we also had some outside capital to put into the business. These days it can be really hard to persuade banks to lend money to people who want to start a company, so we were fortunate. It was fairly easy to set up the business, because we had a very clear idea of what we wanted to do. The problem was, all our preconceptions ( 预想 ) about what it would be like to run a business were wrong. We made lots of mistakes, and we almost went bankrupt (破 产的 ) at the beginning. At one point, we only had two students in the school. (3) Far too long! We lost money for the first four years and, as I was saying, we nearly went out of business. It took

2012年职称英语新增为必考内容

写在最前面的关于30分题+15分 1. +表示A级文章；*表示B即文章；其他为C级文章，考哪一级就看哪一级的内容，别的级别的题目完全不用看。 2. 每个级别新增阅读理解2篇完型填空2篇（今年以前完形填空只新增一篇），考试的时候，这两篇阅读理解必考一篇，文章完全一样，但是问题及答案不一定完全一样，所以仅仅记住答案是不可靠的，一定要结合后面的翻译把这篇文章看懂。那么这里5道题目15分必定能拿到。 然后完型填空，先说今年以前，只新增一篇完型填空，这篇完型填空必考，只是留空的位置不会完全一样，大约有40%左右的留空位置是一样，所以光背答案是没得用的，一定要把文章看熟。当然今年由于每个级别新增了2篇完型填空，那么考试的时候肯定也是2选1考一篇。这里15道题15分也很容易能拿到。3. 词汇有15道题，替换同义词，找本字典翻翻，这15分也不难，至少12分能拿到吧。其他的题能拿多少分就看各位的英语底子了。做最坏的打算，剩下的题目还有55分，按瞎蒙25%的概率能拿到13.75分，加上前面的45分大约也有58分左右，所以要完全靠瞎蒙的朋友考试前多扶扶老奶奶过马路，多积累点人品吧。 4. 以上只是投机取巧的方法，各位有时间的话还是花点时间复习下，但是考前一定要把新增的题目掌握好，就算英语底子好的朋友也起码可以节约不少考试时间。 5. 本人职称英语A\B\C级都是这样考过的，每年的规律都是一样的。从客观角度说，每年的职称英语考试书都不便宜，新增的内容也不多，如果新增的东西里面没有价值，那么那本书还有谁买？那本书可是考试中心出的， 阅读理解*第三＋八篇 "Life Form Found" on Saturn's Titan
