2002.11 上海市中级口译口试真题

2002.11

Part A

Passage 1:

主席先生，我要感谢您那热情洋溢、雄辩无比的演讲。此时此刻，许多人正在通过神奇的电讯设备倾听着我们的讲话。//

是的，此时此刻整个世界都在关注着我们。虽然我们在此所作的演讲很快便会被人们遗忘，但是我们在此的作为却能改变世界。//

我国社会制度和政治制度在许多方面都与贵国的社会制度和政治制度不同。这源于我们不同的经历和不同的传统。//

鉴于我们有着截然不同的历史、地理和文化，很难想象我们会对的有问题都有一致的看法。但是对世界和平的基本需求，我们的看法是一致的。//

Passage 2:

与美国人谈判并无特别的样式。谈判的方式视业务不同而不同，取决于参与谈判的人员。//

然而，有些特点在绝大多数美国商务谈判人员中相当普遍。//

譬如，美国人往往直截了当，为明确商务术语的定义而咄咄逼人、锱铢必较。//

虽然美国人享有决策果断的声誉，但是，在公司着手进行主要或重大项目时，决策并非总是果断的。因此，你也要做好准备进行冗长的谈判。

Part B

Passage 1:

With the increasing of its residents’ per c apita income year by year, fundamental changes have taken place in the consumption structure in Shanghai. //

Many traditional consumption hot spots are quietly losing their charms while new consumption forms have made the figure. People used to go shopping only during their holidays, but nowadays the consumption fashion has been diversified. //

Changes also occurred stealthily in the field of recreational consumption. For their holiday recreational consumption, people are no longer satisfied with the trad itional practices of going dancing or playing bowling. //

Instead, people choose to go to libraries reading or go to museums with their family members. The culture- related recreational consumption is gradually gaining currency.

Passage 2:

According to the statistics from the housing authority, prices of China’s houses averaged at 2,226 yuan a square meter last year, 6 percent up over the year before. //

Houses in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou ranked the most expensive across the nation, with prices exceeding 3,400 yuan per square meter. Houses in and around downtown areas in the city center are more expensive. //

The sales reports of the houses sold in the above mentioned three cities show that last year

the growth of China’s overall housing market w as obvious mainly in the first six months. In the second half- year, the growth slowed down. //

Due to increasing new projects finished in the second six months, stockpile of unsold houses rose by over 7 percent. I believe the increase in sales total this year will to some extent slow down.

Part A

Directions:In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English. After you have heard each paragraph, interpret it into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal … and stop it at the signal …Y ou may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages ONLY ONCE. Now let’s begin Part A with the first passage.

Passage 1:

Mr. President, I with to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent remarks. At this very moment through the wonder of telecommunications, many people are hearing what we say today. //

Y es, right now the whole world is watching us. Though what we say here will soon be forgotten, what we do here will change the world. //

We have a social and political system which differs in many respects from your own. It is the result of different experiences and a different tradition. //

Given our distinct histories, geographies and cultures, it is inconceivable that we could see eye to eye on all issues. However, we do agree on the fundamental need for world peace.

Passage 2:

There is no particular style to American negotiations. The way the negotiations are conducted will vary from one business to another and will depend upon the individuals involved. //

However, in spite of such difference, there are certain characteristics that appear to be fairly common to most American business negotiators.//

For example, Americans tend to be straight- forward, aggressive and pushy for clear- cut definitions of business terms. //

Although Americans have a reputation for making quick decisions, this is not always true when a corporation is involved in a major venture or a large project. Therefore, you should also be prepared for lengthy negotiations.

Part B

ONLY ONCE. Now, let’s begin Part B with the first passage.

Passage 1:

近年来，随着上海市民人均收入的逐年增加，消费结构发生了根本性的变化。//

许多传统的消费热点正在悄悄降温，新的消费亮点已崭露头角，过去单一的节假日购物消费已向多元化消费转变。//

从节假日休闲娱乐消费来看，同样也在悄然发生着变化。人们的假日休闲娱乐消费已突破了以往上舞厅、打保龄球等传统方式。//

取而代之的是市民选择在图书馆静静地阅读，或举家到博物馆游览参观，市民休闲的文化气息正在不断增强。

Passage 2:

根据房地产权威部门的统计，去年中国的住房平均价格达到了每平方米2226元，比前年高出6％。//

北京、上海和广州的住房价格在全国范围内位居前列，每平方米超过3400元。市中心商业区及周边地区的房价则更为昂贵。//

上述三大城市的住房销售资料显示，去年房地产市场的总体增长主要出现在上半年，下半年的增长幅度有所下降。//

我认为，由于去年下半年新建成的房产项目不断积累，未售出的存量房增长幅度已超过7％，今年的住房销售总量将有所减缓。

B卷

参考答案:

Part A

Passage 1:

在美国旅行时你应该了解一下如何寻找住所。也许你得查阅一下电话簿黄页上刊登在“旅馆”、“汽车旅馆”或“公寓房间”栏目下的广告。你可以将各家广告所列的服务项目作一比较。//

汽车旅馆和客栈通常邻近高速公路，有足够多的停车场地。度假胜地小旅店和度假胜地宾馆则坐落在山中、海边，或湖泊边邻。//

旅馆里的床亦名目繁多，有“单人床”、“双人床”、“大号床”和“加阔床”。有些旅馆甚至还为客人准备了“水床”、“加长床”、“滚动式折叠床”或“暗床”。// 如果你喜欢露宿户外而不愿在旅馆里就寝，你可以州辖公园和国家公园宿营，这些地方通常都有便于安放帐篷和拖车式移动房屋的配套设施。

Passage 2:

我声明强烈抗议建造诸如摩天大楼那样的高楼。摩天大楼是人为的灾祸，将毁坏我们的环境和生活。//

越来越多的生态学家指出，城市里的高楼群往往会使市区的公共交通和停车容量负担

过重。//

摩天大楼耗费大量的电力。此外，摩天大楼还妨碍鸟类的飞行，堵塞空中交通。// 我认为许多建筑师盖摩天大楼是以环境为代价来实现个人的抱负。为了我们和下一代而保护环境，我们应该阻止城市继续攀升。

Part B

Passage 1:

The Olympic Games are the largest global sports event today. To host such games is a way of showing off china’s economic and technological strength to the whole world. // To hold the games, we need to develop large- scale and high- quality information transmission networks, thus greatly promoting the development of the information industry, the culture industry, tourism and the service sector in Beijing. //

We’re convinced that the ideology and spirits of the Olympic Games will be spread and developed more widely than ever before with china hosing / after china hosts Olympic Games in the year 2008.

Passage 2:

In collaboration with the municipal government department concerned, we opened last Friday at Shanghai Center the International Computer and Networking Exhibition. Until yesterday, the exhibition has welcomed more than 80,000 visitors. //

Passage 1:

When traveling in the United States, you should know about finding a place to stay. Probably the best thing to do in to look in the Y ellow Pages under Hotel, Motel or Lodging. Y ou can compare the services offered in their advertisements. //

Motels and inns have plenty of parking space and lakes. //

Beds also go by many different names, such as single, double, queen and king size ones. Some hote ls even offer their guests waterbeds, “Long boy” beds, rollways or hide- a- beds. // If you prefer camping to staying in hotels, you can camp in state and national parks, though, which generally have facilities for both tents and trailers.

Passage 2:

I am speaking in strong protest against the construction of very tall buildings in the city, such as skyscrapers. Skyscrapers are a man- made hazard, which will have damaging effect on our environment and our lives. //

As an increasing number of ecologists point out, a cluster of high- rise buildings in a city often overburden public transportation and parking- lot capacities. //

I think many architects build skyscrapers for personal ambition, at the cost of the environment. To protect our environment for us and for our children, we should stop our cities from growing any higher.

随着改革开放的进一步深入和社会经济的持续发展，我国社会稳定，经济繁荣，综合国力大大增强。//

我们相信，通过2008年在中国举办奥运会，奥林匹克思想和精神将得到更广泛的普及和发展。

Passage 2:

自上周五起，我们同上海市有关部门一起在上海展览中心举办了国际电脑及网络展。到昨天为止，参观人数已超过八万。//

【DF】2011年3月上海中级口译真题及答案

沪江英语绿宝书之 2011年3月上海中级口译考试 听力原文及解析 SECTION 1: LISTENING TEST (45 minutes) Part A: Spot Dictation Directions:In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. 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.?

口译考试准备

上海中级口译考试怎样准备？ 中口考试分为两阶段。第一阶段笔试，一般在每年3月和9月中旬周日下午，时间150分钟，总分250分。共分四部分： 第一部分听力90分，分为三部分，均为30分。Part A是复合式听写，20个空，跟四六级考试有点类似，但区别在于全文只能听一遍，每个空要填2-4个单词，语速大约130词/分。Part B是听力理解，包括单句理解，长对话和短文。单句理解就是从四个选项中找出和所听到的句子意思最接近的一个，长对话和短文与四六级差不多。Part C是听译，分为单句听译和篇章听译，都是英译汉，即听力放英语句子和文章，然后留出一段时间，考生写出汉语翻译。 第二部分阅读60分，六篇文章，每篇文章后5个选择题。 第三部分英译汉50分，第四部分汉译英50分，要求考生不借助任何词典、参考资料和其它媒介，将一篇长度为180个单词（汉字）左右的英（汉）语文章段落译成汉（英）语。译文需忠实原文的意思，且语言通顺，符合译语规范。 合格为150分。凡第一阶段合格的考生方可参加第二阶段口试。笔试成绩两年内有效，即笔试通过后可以参加四次口试，只要任何一次通过即可拿到口译证书。 第二阶段口试，每年5月和11月，共分两部分：口语与口译。口语部分要求考生就指定话题作三分钟左右的命题发言，话题后面有三个提示问题，但不要求一定要按照问题阐述观点。考生拿到口语试题后有五分钟的准备时间。口译分英译汉和汉译英两部分，每部分均要求口译主题各不相同的两个段落。各两段，每段四断，每断两或三句，每断单独评分。答对11句及以上可以通过。 考生只有在通过笔试和口试两个阶段以后才能获得《上海市英语中级口译岗位资格证书》。考试的指定培训教材：《中级听力教程》（周国强编著），《中级阅读教程》（陈汉生编著），《中级翻译教程》（孙万彪、冯慎宇编著），《中级口语教程》（严诚忠、朱妙南编著），《中级口译教程》（梅德明编著），均由上海外语教育出版社出版。听力和口译教程配有磁带，mp3网上可以下载到。 推荐参考书：《中级口译真题解析》，同济大学出版社，内有八套真题并配有详细解析，必买；新东方口试考试培训班指定辅导用书系列，汪海涛、邱政政主编，世界图书出版公司，一套四本，中口用到《词汇必备》，《口试备考精要》和《中口笔试备考精要》三本；《英语中级口译实用教程》，康志峰主编，华东理工大学出版社；《英语中高级口译笔试冲刺》和《口试导考》，都是谭宝泉编著，前者是上海译文出版社，后者是东华大学出版社；《实战口译》，（英）林超伦编著，外语教学与研究出版社，讲口译速记符号的。 考试准备 1.背单词 单词是肯定要背的。口译的准备一般从寒假开始，这时离你四六级考试或英语期末考试结束已经有一段时间了，背单词可以唤醒你丧失的英语记忆。而且上面也提到口译单词涉及到诸多方面，其中绝大部分都是具有中国特色、与我国现阶段国情紧密相关的，社会实用性很强，这些都是大学英语教学所欠缺的。有些单词你可能以前都没有接触过，通过背单词，可以初步了解口译考试的考点。 我用的是新东方的《中/高级口译考试词汇必备》，这也是迄今为止我所知道的最好的口译单词书。它打破了单词书按字母顺序编写的常规，将口译常用单词和词组分为若干类，既有英译中，也有中译英，充分考虑了口译的双向性。所选内容除了来自教程外，还参考了国内外多种资料和媒体，很多翻译（特别是对外口径）都是“权威”表达。 背单词点到为止，千万不要花太多时间，毕竟考试不是考默写单词。另外这本单词书有不少

中级口译笔试历年真题听力文字稿最完整版(97-08)

历年上海中级口译听力部分录音文稿（97.3 － 08.9） 97．3 SECTION 1：LISTENING TEST Part A: Spot Dictation The development of the Space Shuttle has dramatically reduced the cost of sending loads into space. The Shuttle takes off from Earth like a rocket, and lands again like a huge aircraft. It can transport not only its own crew, but also passengers, and has a huge cargo-hold which is capable of carrying large satellites or a space laboratory. Before the Space Shuttle was created, it was necessary to plan trips into space several years in advance. However, for the rest of the century it should be possible to make space flights every week or so. Any scientist or engineer needing to travel into orbit will simply take the next Shuttle flight, stay as long as necessary, and then return at his or her convenience. It is difficult to imagine the immense opportunities created by the Shuttle. One of the great advantages of having a reusable space vehicle is that it can take one load after another into orbit. Very large space stations could not be launched in their complete form directly from Earth, but they could be built piece by piece in space. The Space Shuttle is likely to be used as a general ―workhorse‖ for the rest of this century, and the building of such stations in orbit should become commonplace. Once these huge orbiting space stations are completed, they are likely to become the platforms from which hundreds of robot space ships could be launched cheaply and easily to explore the solar system and to start mining operations on the Moon. The technology needed for this is already developed and available. And because of commercial and military pressures to develop space technology, it is likely that governments will be increasingly willing to start extensive programs of space engineering, exploration and research. Part B: Listening Comprehension Ⅰ. Statements Question No. 1. Jane remained in London for the summer. Question No. 2. Daniel requested that he be transferred to Tokyo to start a new branch. Question No. 3. According to our correspondent, the rain has flooded several areas of South India. Question No. 4. Jason ran across his former college teacher during a business trip to Chicago.

We tried to persuade him not to go to Australia, but in vain. Question No. 10. When they were searching the area, the police all but caught the thieves. Ⅱ.

Any remaining passengers must go immediately to gate 2 where the flight is now closing. Olympic Airways flight number OA 260 closing now at gate 2.

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

American work ethic is more individual-oriented. We often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.// If I am not mistaken, the traditional Chinese work ethic is based on Confucianism, which stresses the benefit of communal harmony rather than individual freedom.// It’s really very hard to say which is better because if the cultural differences. With the economic globalization, cultural exchanges have become more and more extensive and Americans and Chinese will know and understand each other better. 至于我们美国人，你们会感到我们太看重个人主义，太看重个人利益，这样可能会牺牲集体的利益，甚至会损害社会的和谐。// 是的，但你们不必担忧。我们美国人的工作理念更强调个人主义。我们一般重视的是结果和成就，而不是过程。// 如果我没理解错的话，中国传统的够工作理念是以儒家学说为基础的，这种思想强调整体和谐高于个体自由。// 由于文化差异的存在，真的很难说哪种理念更好。随着经济全球化，文化交流也随之变得越来越广泛，美国人民和中国人民将会更加互相了解和理解。

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.

You will hear this signal to tell you when you start interpreting） 第1题 【正确答案】： 人脑平均有100亿个神经细胞，分为两个大致对称的半球，有时称右半球和左半球。 人脑的两半球虽然就其大小和形状而言比较相像，却各司其职。 大多数人的左半球主要负责语言，左半球的这种语言功能优势似乎在婴儿出生前便已存在。 另一方面，(人脑的)右半球掌管着视觉和空间技能，并负责对非语言的声音以及音乐旋律的感知。 [本题分数]： 25.0 分 【答案解析】 [听力原文] The human brain which contains an average of ten billion nerve cells, is divided into two roughly symmetrical hemispheres, sometimes called right and left brains. The two sides of the brain, while fairly comparable in size and form, appear to specialize in handling various tasks. In most individuals, the left hemisphere has primary responsibility for language and this left brain dominance in linguistic functions appears to exist prior to birth. The right hemisphere, on the other hand, controls visual and spatial skills as well as the perception of nonlinguistic sounds and musical melodies. 第2题 【正确答案】： 我将向你们展示一张印度尼西亚的美丽地图。你会从这张地图中看到印度尼西亚共和国是位于亚洲和澳洲大陆之间重要地理位置上的最大岛国。 因此，许多外国的投资者把他们的资金投在印度尼西亚，目的是为了建厂或和印度尼西亚建立合资企业。 此外，印度尼西亚有许多岛屿，大约13677个岛，五个主要的岛屿大约占陆地面积的92%。 这个区域行政划分为30个省，其中的两个是特区。印度尼西亚是世界上人口密度第四大的国家，有超过2.5亿的人口，年人口增长率为1.6%。
