Section 2: Reading Comprehension (30 points)

In this section you will find after each of the passage a number of questions or unfinished statements about the passage, each with 4 (A, B, C and D) choices to answer the question or complete the statement. You must choose the one which you think fits best. Blacken the corresponding letter as required on your Machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.

Question 61-70 are based on the following passage.

Next door to a lunch counter advertising a grilled cheese special is a gallery where Van Gogh’s “Irises” shares the walls with Monet landscapes and works from the Italian Renaissance.

They are all fakes. They are all for sale. “A forger? Yes. We’re expert forgers you could say. But we make no attempt to deceive. We don’t pretend to sell original works. We have all the thrill of being a forger, but no risk.”

With prices for original art rising into the tens of millions, some art lovers are turning to high-quality copies done by expert artists. In addition, some museums confronting skyrocketing insurance premiums are considering stashing the authentic pieces and displaying a reproduction. No major U.S. art museum is known to be displaying reproductions in place of originals. Such a practice would raise questions about why people visit museums in the first place. But museum security has become a growing concern.

Bids for paintings have climbed at auction houses. But prices for fakes run only from about $1,000 to $10,000 for paintings, depending on the size and complexity of the original.

In Europe where copying masterpieces is centuries-old craft, painters often use pigments and brushes typical of the period of the original. The painting is placed in a frame closely resembling its era. Sometimes the gallery purchases 17th century furniture to use the wood for frames. The final step is the antiquing process using chemicals and heat and humidity. “We can make special

types of cracks from little spider-we b types to long splits.”

Questions 71-80 are based on the following passage.

No revolutions in technology have as visibly marked the human condition as those in transport. Moving goods and people, they have opened continents, transformed living standards, spread diseases, fashions and folk around the world. Yet technologies to transport ideas and information across long distances have arguably achieved even more: they have spread knowledge, the basis of economic growth.

The most basic of all these, the written word, was already ancient by 1000. By then China had, in basic form, the printing press, using carved woodblocks. But the key to its future, movable metal type, was four centuries away. The Chinese were hampered by their thousands of ideograms. Even so, they quite soon invented the primitive movable type, made of clay, and by the 13th century they had the movable wooden type. But the real secret was the use of an easily cast metal.

When it came, Europe – aided by simple Western alphabets – leapt forward with it. One reason why Asia’s civilizations, in 1000 far ahead of Europe’s, then fell behind was that they lacked the technology to reproduce and diffuse ideas. On Johannes Gutenberg’s invention in the 1440s were built not just the Reformation and the Enlightenment, but Europe’s agricultural and industrial revolutions too.

Yet information technology on its own would not have got far. Literally: better transport technology too was needed. That was not lacking, but there the big change came much later: it was railways and steamships that first allowed the speedy, widespread dissemination of news and ideas over long distances. And both technologies in turn required people and organizations to develop their use. They got them: for individual communication. The postal service: for wider publics, the publishing industry.

Throughout the 19th century, the postal service formed the bedrock of national and international communications. Crucial to its growth had been the introduction of the stamp, combined with a low price, and payment by the sender. Britain put all three of these ideas into effect in 1840.

By then, the world’s mail was taking off. It changed the world. Merchants in America’s eastern cities used it to gather information, enraging far-off cotton growers and farmers, who found that the New Yorkers knew more about crop prices than they did. In the American debate about slavery, it offered abolitionists a low-cost way to spread their views, just as later technologies have cut the cost and widened the scope of political lobbying. The post helped too to integrate the American nation, tying new newly opened west to the settled east.

Everywhere, its development drove and was driven by those of transport. In Britain, travelers rode by mail coach to posting inns. In America, the post subsidized road-building. Indeed, argues Dan Schiller, a professor of communications at the University of California, it was the connection between the post, transport and national integration that ensured that the mail remained a public enterprise even in the United States, its first and only government-run communications medium, and until at least the 1870s, the biggest organization in the land.

The change has not only been one of speed and distance, though, but of audience. About 200 years ago, a man’s words could reach no further than his voice, not just in range but in whom they reached. But, for some purposes, efficient communication is mass communication, regular, cheap, quick and reliable. When it became possible, it transformed the world.

71. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?

A. Transporting goods and people is the most important technology in the history of mankind.

B. Technology in transporting goods and people has changed human conditions more than

anything else.

C. Technology in spreading information has changed human conditions more than transportation technology.

Questions 81-90 are based on the following passage.

Is test anxiety destructive? Can we make test anxiety work for us? The answer to both of these questions is yes. Test anxiety often interferes with student performance but this same test anxiety, if channeled correctly, can help improve performance.

In order to lessen the destructive elements of test anxiety, the approach should be to develop improved confidence and knowledge. As your knowledge of the course material increases, your confidence in your ability to succeed will increase. As your confidence increases, your anxiety will go down, allowing your knowledge to come through more efficiently. The way you prepare for a test can reduce anxiety during the test.

You will be surprised how confident you will feel if you know the material. Studies of memory show if you want to be able to recall information from text or lecture you have to review that material several times. It is important to know your own abilities and operate accordingly. If you know that you learn best by listening, prepare a tape of significant material and listen to the tape. Study partners or study groups are often useful for self-testing. Experience in stressful situations tends to lessen anxiety in those situations. One way to help yourself retrieve material is through the use of mnemonic codes. Learn a code that lets you remember complex material. Developing an outline for an essay question that you know will be on the test or memorizing a formula are forms of code development.

Students are often frustrated by the sheer volume of material that has to be studied in college. Many instructors conduct reviews, give hints, identify what is important to study, use handouts or overhead transparency outlines. These materials should be at the top of your study list. If the instructor took the time to identify them, you should assume that they will play an important part of the test. While knowledge acquired during test preparation can help reduce anxiety, it is another thing to take the test itself. Following are a few suggestions to help reduce anxiety during the test. When I arrive at a test, I often find students flipping test pages at the last minute trying to cram it all in at the end. You would be better off trying to relax, meditating a little, and clearing your mind to allow yourself the ability to concentrate on the question that are coming.

As soon as the instructor gives you the signal to start, dump out formulas, codes, outlines from your memory onto the test answer sheets so that you will not have to worry about whether you will remember the codes long enough until you get to the appropriate test question.

You can build your confidence if you go through the test and answer all of the questions that you know first. Go back and work on those questions that need greater analysis, or that need to be worked out or need to be guessed at and your anxiety will not kick in until later in the test.

For those of you whose anxiety increases as study and preparation increase, your goal should be to start concentrating on things that take your mind off the test, i.e., television, books, hobbies, movies, etc. Meditation and aerobic exercise have proven to be very useful methods for reducing undesirable effects of stress.

The solution to reducing the destructive influences of stress is to plan to study. Map out a schedule of when you will study each day. Identify the specific topics that you will study each day. Identify the areas of the material that you have had problems with and study those. Your plan should include reading the text material, reviewing notes and homework assignments, identifying material that needs further explanation, developing codes for memory material and testing yourself. Once you have studied adequately, your confidence will be fairly high, your knowledge will be satisfactory to do well on the test and the stomach butterflies will help you focus on the task at hand.

I’d wish you good luck on finals, but you and I both know that the more effectively you study, the luckier you will get.

81. The word “channeled” underlined in Paragraph 1 means _____.

A. directed

B. used

C. run

D. passed

C. It can help us to concentrate.

83. What is the relationship between knowledge and confidence and test anxiety?

B. As your test anxiety increases, your knowledge and confidence will increase.

C. As your confidence increases, your anxiety will go down, allowing your knowledge to come through more effectively.

D. Both A and C.

84. Which of the following test preparation ways cannot help one reduce anxiety during the test?

2020年英语翻译资格考试高级口译模拟试题(1) Mass urbanization of the world’s population is an unprecedented trend worldwide. The most important reason why people are moving to cities is economic. People are moving to the cities because that’s where they can find jobs and earn money. Until the 20th century, the major source of employment, full and part-time, was farming. Now, according to recent statistics, no more than 15 percent of all jobs are connected to farming. Jobs now are being created in information technology, manufacturing and service areas, such as tourism and financing, and all of these new jobs are in or around major cities. 译文：世界人口大规模的城市化在世界范围内达到史无前例的规模。驱使人们持续涌向城市的最重要原因是经济因素。人们都涌向城 市是因为在城里能够找到工作和挣钱。在20世纪以前，就业的主要途径，不管是全职还是兼职，一直都是农耕。而现在，根据最近的统计 数据，只有不到15%的工作是和农业相关的。越来越多的工作产生于信息技术产业、制造业和服务行业，如旅游业和融资，而所有这些新兴 工作都在大城市及其周边地区。 评析：本题是高口热点话题“城市化”，在07年9月的高口NTGF 部分也涉及到过城市化的问题，前一题的句子翻译S2也提到了“人们 搬进大城市的原因，是追求高品质的生活”，而这里主要围绕工作展开。考查词汇都在大纲范围内，像urbanization, manufacturing等 都属于常见热词，考生在平时对这些词汇有所积累，翻译起来并不难。相对passage 2, 这段话稍微有点长，这也提醒考生注意平时多练习听写记笔记，熟悉常考话题，这样在考试时才能拿高分。

大学英语翻译课堂教学存在的问题以及对策

大学英语翻译课堂教学存在的问题以及对策 【摘要】自翻译成为一门独立的学科以来，翻译教学的重要性越来越受到重视。但在大学英语翻译课堂中仍然存在一些问题，导致翻译教学效果不佳，学生的翻译水平有限。本文探讨了大学英语翻译教学的现状和存在的问题，以及如何采取必要措施，切实提高学生的翻译能力，为社会、市场输出更多符合需求的翻译人才。 【关键词】大学英语翻译教学问题 1.大学英语翻译教学的现状及存在问题 随着经济的全球化以及对外交流的进一步扩大，翻译能力的重要性得到进一步的凸显。而翻译成为一个正式的学科，也极大地推动了翻译教学的发展。根据国家教委颁发的《大学英语教学大纲》，对学生英语翻译能力的要求指能借助词典，将难度略低于课文的英语短文翻译成汉语，能达到基本的翻译要求，译速为每小时300个英语单词。但目前的翻译教学还存在很多问题，使达到这个目标有一定困难，亟待解决。 1.1教师定位不准确，与学生的互动和交流有待加强 翻译是一门注重实践的学科，学生需要大量的练习才能磨练出翻译水平，而在练习的过程中，翻译的技巧起着指导

性的作用。因此，教师在翻译课堂上更像是一个指路人，而并不是掌控课堂所有话语权的主导者。教师给予翻译技巧、翻译案例、应对方法，同时给学生的翻译实践做出反馈。而如果教师不给予学生一定的主动性，和学生的互动不够的话，势必会背离翻译教学的目标。 1.2 过分依赖多媒体技术 多媒体教学由教师、学生、教学内容与多媒体构成，其本质于传统课堂相同，只是加入了多媒体的手段。多媒体教学拥有很多传统的课堂教学模式没有的优势，但是这并不代表教师要完全摒弃传统的教学模式。然而，在实际操作过程中，很多教师过分依赖多媒体技术，却忽略了传统的教学模式的使用，结果不但没有提升教学质量，反而降低教学质量。在传统的教学环境下，教师撰写教案，在课堂上以板书的形式为学生讲解教学重点以及难点。多媒体环境下，教师为了节省板书的时间，采用PPT课件的形式进行教学。但如果完全依赖于教学课件，整节课堂不进行任何板书或只有少量板书，一味借助PPT进行讲解，教学效果便会大打折扣。更有甚者，一旦停电或者多媒体设备出现故障，便无法正常完成教学内容的讲解。 1.3只注重理论教育，忽略实践能力的培养 在全球化的背景下，社会需要的是既具有一定的理论基础，又具有一定的实践能力的综合性人才。但在目前的英语

英语期末考试翻译句子

Unit1 A new study shows that dogs can detect if someone has cancer just by sniffing the person’s breath. Ordinary household dogs with only a few weeks of basic training learn to accurately distinguish between breath samples of lung- and breast-cancer patients and healthy subjects.One expert, who led the research, said, “Our study provides compelling evidence that cancers hidden beneath the skin can be detected simply by (dogs’) examining the odors of a person’s breath.” Early detection of cancers greatly improves a patient’s survival chances, and researchers hope that man’s best friend, the dog, can become an important tool in early screening. Unit 2 A research team recently replicated a bacterium’s genetic structure entirely from l aboratory chemicals, moving one step closer to creating the world’s first artificial organism. The researchers said, “It’s the second step of a three-step process to create a synthetic organism. But the final step could prove far more difficult.” Nonetheless, the research is pushing forward at a rapid pace. Last June, the team revealed details of an experiment in which researchers inserted the DNA of one species of bacterium into the cells of another. That process almost magically booted up the inserted genome. The research team hopes to use a similar trick to boot up the artificially created genome, so as to create a man-made living organism. Unit 3 In recent years, the psychologists from many countries banded together to do a research which indicated that continued income growth could make people apply themselves to an ongoing consumption race rather than promote overall happiness. Everyone has to spend more and more money in order to maintain a constant level of happiness. This is because our vanity and jealousy are functioning . The way to sort out them out is to cultivate the noble sentiment of being considerate and serving the society. People shouldn’t pin all their hopes on money. Instead , friends, family and work are also playing a very improtant role . Therefore, hapiness is not an inborn trait, but a talent which everyone can learn. Unit 4 I used to feel excited at teaching my students the elegant economic theories that could supposedly cure societal problems of all types. But what is the good of all my complex theories when people were dying of starvation on the sidewalks and porches across from my lecture hall? My lessons were like the American movies where the good guys always win. But when I emerged from the comfort of the classroom, I was faced with the reality of the city streets. Here good guys were mercilessly beaten and trampled. Daily life ws getting worse, and the poor were growing even poorer. Unit 5 No one thought that shy little Einstein would grow up to a prominent scientist. He was slow in learning to speak, and he often paused to consider what he would say during a conversation.In school, Albert Einstein was singled out by his teachers as a troublesome child because he liked to ask difficult strange questions. He did not like to memorize facts and rules, but was interested in what lay below the surface of things. When he was four or five years old, for instance, his father gave him a compass. Little Einstein was curious about the mysterious force that could keep a compass needle always pointing north, which prompted him to read widely in science. His real studies were mostly done at home by reading books on mathematics, physics, and philosophy. Unit 6 Most Americans have great vigor and enthusiasm. They prefer to discipline themselves rather than be disciplined by others. They pride themselves on their independence, their right to make their own minds. They tend to take the initiatives, even when there is a risk in doing so. They have courage and do not give in easily. They are considered sentimental. When they see a flag on ceremonial occasions, or attend parades celebrating Ame rica’s glorious past, tears may come to their eyes. They tend to be emotional at the reunions with family and friends, too. Sometimes, they can laugh at themselves and their country, while they will always remain intensely patriotic.

英语翻译课程学习方法

英语翻译课程学习方法 一、传统教材与新教材的关系从今年始，英汉互译的自学考试将由全国高等教育自学考试 指导委员会统一组织实施和管理。这对统一全国考生的要求，提高翻译实践能力和水平都是件好事。目前，相关的统编教材，由庄绎传所编写的《英汉翻译教程》已出版发行。这本教材采用了与传统教材不一样的编写思路。不再是以词、句为单位进行翻译方法，如直译、意译等方法及词类转换，增词、减词之类的技巧进行学习，而是直接进入篇章，以各种文体的篇章为单位进行练习。这是一种创新，是有助于提高考生实际翻译能力的。因为我们在翻译实践中很少情况只是译词或译句，而是篇章的翻译。所以，这将更接近于我们的工作实际了。但这也会为初学翻译的学生带来一些不利条件，那就是对翻译的基本方法与技巧缺乏认识。所以在新教材的第404 页“有关说明与实施要求”中提到参考书，明确指出由张培基等人编写的《英汉翻译教程》（上海外语教育出版社）一书，以及吕瑞昌等人编写的《汉英翻译教程》(陕西人民出版社）一书仍是重要的参考书，我认为作为初学翻译的同志这两本书是一定要看一看的。当然这两本教材也有其明显的不足，即仅以词、句为单位探讨翻译，而没有进入篇章的层次。我们如果把两种教材结合起来，以老教材为辅，以新教材为主，会有较好的成效。 二、篇章翻译的几个问题首先，凡是一个篇章，就会遇到文体的问题，就是我们必须明确 我们所要译的文章是文学作品还是科学、法律方面的文章，是一篇简介性的文字还是一篇讲演词。因为不同文体的文章在表现形式上是很不一样的，如法律文体有一些法律常用词语，科技也会各自有一些专门术语，应用文有时有严格的格式要求，文学则更为复杂，因为其中对话，描述，心理描写，景物或人物描写又各有不同。议论文句式严谨，语言正式，长句较多，等等，这在遣词用句上都有差异。这本教材在P395页“课程内容与考核目标” 都有粗略的说明。请学员认真看一下，并可结合其他有关参考书丰富其内容，以便有更好的掌握。 其次是语域问题。 所谓“语域”（register）是指具有某种具体用途的语言变体，我们可以从交际领域、交际方式和交际关系把语言分成不同的语域，如从交际双方的社会地位和社会关系来说，英语可以分为冷漠体，正式体，商量体，随便体，亲密体等五种，如果从交际领域来分又可以分成正式体，半正式体，公共核心体，半非正式体，非正式体等。不同的语域语言变体彼此是有区别的，如果用几个简单的例子来说明一下就会看得很清楚。如“汤姆病了，今天没去上学”，如果说Tom didn't go to school ，because he was ill. 这就是一句公共核心语，而如果说Tom was ill ，so he didn't go to school.这就是口语体，即非正式语体，如果说：Being ill ，T om didn't go to school 或Tom didn't go to school because of illness. 都是正式语体（当然这句话的内容用这种句式表达并不合适）。从中我们可以看到用原因从句的表达方式是比较正常的，用so连接的句子显得不怎么正式，用抽象名词和分词短语的形式都显得十分正式。另外有些表示相同意思的不同表示形式也有语域方面的区别。如according to和in accordance with，前者为公共核心语，而后者为正式用语，It is important 和It is of importance相比，也是前者为公共核心语，而后者为正式体。甚至连冠词的用法都可以表示这种区别，The horse is a useful animal；A horse is a useful aninal；Horses are useful animals.第一种用定冠词加单数名词表示类属的是正式用法，而用不定冠词加单数名词表示类属的则为公共核心语，最后一种，复数泛指的类属表示法则为非正式语体。 所以，我们在接触一个篇章时，弄清它的语域情况是十分重要的。因为这将决定我们在翻译时如何选词组句，例如，我们看到下面一个句子：After an hour of climbing，we finally found ourselue's at zhurong Peak，the very apex of Mt ，Hengshan，towering 1，296m
