第三篇:2011年英语专业八级考试语言学试题答案与解析.doc
2011年英语专业八级考试语言学试题答案与解析
答案: 1.C2.A3.C
试题解析:
1.认知语言学是语言学的一门分支学科,它以第2代认知科学和体验哲学为理论背景,在反对主流语言学转换生成语法的基础上诞生,大约在1980年代后期至1990年代开始成型。认知语言学涉及人工智能、语言学、心理学、系统论等多种学科。它针对生成语言学天赋观,提出:语言的创建、学习及运用,基本上都能够通过人类的认知而加以解释,因为认知能力是人类知识的根本。题目中关于语言和心理关系的研究是认知语言学研究的内容。故选择C。
2.英语语音分为元音和辅音两大类。区分元音和辅音的标准是气流是否受到阻碍。气流由肺部发出,在口腔和喉部不受任何阻碍,通常声带振动,这样发出的音叫元音。气流由肺部送出时,或者完全受阻,或者部分受阻,或者因出口太窄,空气流出时产生摩擦,或者气流在口腔受到阻碍而由鼻腔发出,这样发出的音称为辅音。故选择A。
3.某一地区或国家的居民使用几种语言(通常在三种或三种以上)的现象称为多语制。多语现象在一些西非国家(如尼日利亚、加纳)、马来西亚、新加坡和以色列等国家普遍存在。故选择C。
考点分析:2011年英语专业八级考试人文知识中英语语言学知识测试内容仍然涉及教材中
第二章语音学(phonetics)、第八章语言与社会(language and society)和第十二章语言与大脑(language and brain)中基本概念和基础知识的理解。
第四篇:1996年高等院校英语专业八级考试翻译试题
1996年高等院校英语专业八级考试
C-E原文:
近读报纸,对国内名片和请柬的议论颇多,于是想起客居巴黎时经常见到的法国人手中的名片和请柬,随笔记下来,似乎不无借鉴之处。在巴黎,名目繁多的酒会,冷餐会是广交朋友的好机会。在这种场合陌生人相识,如果是亚洲人,他们往往开口之前先毕恭毕敬地用双手把自己的名片呈递给对方,这好像是不可缺少的礼节。然而,法国人一般却都不大主动递送名片,双方见面寒暄几句,甚至海阔天空地聊一番也就各自走开,只有当双方谈话投机,希望继续交往时,才会主动掏出名片。二话不说先递名片反倒显得有些勉强。
法国人的名片讲究朴素大方,印制精美,但很少有镶金边儿的,闪光多彩的或带香味的,名片上的字体纤细秀丽,本人的名字也不过分突出,整张纸片上空白很大,毫无拥挤不堪的感觉。
参考译文:
Version 1:
In reading recent newspapers, I have come to find that people in China have become more and more interested in discussing name cards and invitation letters.This reminds me of the name cards and invitation1
letters of the French people that I saw when I was sojourning in Paris.In writing down those random reminiscences, I believe that they might provide some useful information for us to learn.The French tend to take extraordinary precaution in making their name cards, simple yet elegant.Exquisitely designed and printed, their name cards are seldom golden-framed, or colorfully shiny, or tinted with fragrant smells.The letters which appearing on their name cards tend to be diminutive but beautiful, not allowing the name of the card-bearer t be overly prominent / salient.The entire card leaves much empty space, imparting no sense of over-crowdedness.Version 2:
Recently, I find from newspapers that people at home are interested in cards, name and invitation alike.This reminds me of my experiences in Paris.Random as they may seem, I write them down.Perhaps, the French way of handling name cards and invitation cards provide some useful lessons for us.The French people’s name cards are simple but elegant.They are seldom golden-framed, colorfully shiny, or with fragrance.Words on the cards are very fine and beautiful, and the name of the bearer does not stand particularly out.Their cards leave much space, and incur no over-crowdedness whatsoever.Version 3:
In Paris, cocktail parties and buffet receptions of different kinds offer great opportunities for making friends.On such occasions, strangers may get to know each other.If they are Asians, they will, very respectfully and with both hands, present their calling cards to their interlocutors before any conversation starts.This seems to be the required courtesy on their part.The French, however, usually are not so ready with such a formality.Both sides will greet each other, and even chat casually about any topic and then excuse themselves.Only when they find they like each other and hope to further the relationship will they exchange cards.It will seem very unnatural to do so before any real conversation gets under way.E-C英译汉
Four mouths before the Election Day, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters and reviewed an oversize calendar that marked the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign.It was the last Saturday in June and at ten o’clock in the morning the rest of the office was practically deserted.Even so, the men kept the door shut and drapes carefully drawn.The three principals and their two deputies had come form around the country for a critical
meeting.Their aim was to devise a strategy that would guarantee Ronald Reagan’s resounding reelection to a second term in the White House.It should have been easy.They were battle-tested veterans with long ties to Reagan and even longer ties to the Republican Party, men who understood presidential politics as well as any in the country.The backdrop of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with: America was at peace, and the nation’s economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession.Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed, with plenty of money for top-flight staff, travel, and television commercials.And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills.Reagan has succeeded more than any president since John F.Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America – a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government.参考译文:这应该不是件难事。这都是些跟着里根多年、久经沙场的老将,他们跟共和党则有更深厚的渊源,是这个国家里最熟悉总统政治的人。竞选的背景也很有利,也很多好消息可供炒作。例如,美国上下一片和平,美国经济这一竞选要素也在经过一段时间的衰退之后开始强劲反弹。此外,这次竞选本身得到了慷慨资助,因此有充裕的资金用于组织一流的竞选班子、支付巡回演讲和电视广告的费用。而最重要的一点是,他们的候选人是罗纳德·里根,他可是位极具个人魅力和沟通技巧的总统。自约翰·F·肯尼迪总统以来,里根是最成功地勾勒出美国蓝图的总统:一个军事力量复兴、富有个人进取心、联邦政府得以精简的国家。

1.中译英题目
手机刷新了人与人之间的关系。会议室的门口通常贴着一张通告,请与会者关闭手机。可是会议室里的手机依然响成一片。我们都是普通人,没有多少重要的事。尽管如此,我们也不会轻易关掉手机。打开手机象征着我们与这个世界的联系。手机反映出我们的“社交饥渴症。”最为常见的是,一个人在路上走着走着,忽然停下来盯着手机屏幕发短信,不管是在马路中间还是厕所旁边。
参考答案:
Cell phone has altered human relations.There is usually a note on the door of conference room, which reads “close your handset|.” However, the rings are still resounding in the room.We are all common people and has few urgencies to do.Still, we are reluctant to turn off the phone.Cell phone symbolizes our connection with the world and reflects our “thirst for socialization.” We are familiar with the scene when a person stops his steps to edit short messages with eyes glued at his phone, disregard of his location, whether in road center or beside restroom.2.英译中题目
We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergencythough not all-of its consequences, if we act boldly, decisively and quickly.However, despite a growing number of honorable exceptions, too many of the world's leaders are still best described in the words Winston Churchill applied to those who ignored Adolf Hitler's threat: “They go on in strange paradox, decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, adamant for drift, solid for fluidity, all powerful to be impotent.”
So today, we dumped another 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the thin shell of atmosphere surrounding our planet, as if it were an open sewer.And tomorrow, we will dump a slightly larger amount, with the
cumulative concentrations now trapping more and more heat from the sun.参考答案:
我们人类,正面临全球性的危机,我们的生存和文明受到威胁。尽管我们聚在一起共商对策,而灾难却在扩大,形式不容乐观。但也有令人欣喜的消息:如果行动大胆果断,反应迅速,我们有能力解决这场危机,避免其向最坏的方向发展。
但是,时下世界上的许多国家领导人可以用当年温斯顿·丘吉尔批评欧洲诸政要忽视阿道夫·希特勒的名言来形容,“它们在奇怪的悖论中前行,仅仅为一个决定而犹豫不决,有了决心却拖泥带水,信心犹疑不定,见解随波逐流,掌权者虚弱无力。”
而如今我们向这个星球脆弱的大气层倾倒超过七千万吨温室气体,把其当作天然排污口。明天我们还会变本加厉,堆积的温室气体吸纳了越来越多的太阳热度。

09专八作文题目:Are dialects just as acceptable in public places?
Instruction:
Mandarin, or putonghua, is the standard service sector language in China.However lately some employees of a metropolis subway company start using dialects to cater to the requirements of people from different areas in order to render better service.Opponents sees the countering effects of such movement to the national policy of promoting mandarin across China.Write in 400 words your opinion and support your argument and bring your essay to a natural conclusion.范文一:
China's State Administration of Radio Film and Television(SARFT)recently issued a notice banning domestic radio and TV stations from translating foreign radio and TV programmes into any local dialect.The notice said that such dialect translation contradicts the national initiative to promote Putonghua, or Mandarin, around the country.Foreign programmes that have been translated into dialects must be removed from television and radio immediately.The notice evoked a mixed response from experts and audio and video producers, as well as the general public.Many voiced their concerns that local dialects would be fornidden in public places.Mandarian, which means “common language”, is the country's predominant language and is widely used by more than 70 percent of the population.However, local dialects still enjoy pupularity for relatively less-educated people in some occasions.The dialects do make unique role and should be tolerated for existence in public places.Though promoted widely in public places, dialects are acceptable in public places.First, it is more than a mere tool for communication.It is, most importantly, the messenger of its respective culture.If the dialect was eliminated from daily use, the culture will be broken.Second, Mandarian can absorb the elit part of local dialect to enrich its vovabulary and usuge.This is the perfection of Mandartian from thousands of years blend and contact.The dialects can also be popular in the public.Along with the famous short play by comic actors in NE China, the local dialect came into the splotlight, and enjoyed more pupulatity throughout China.Such a cultural phenomenon represents the audience an attitude to local dialects which cater to the taste of the majority.Third, dialect is the only mean of
communicate.To sum up, local dialects should be tolerated in public places for its unique role which Mandarian can not substitute.We should guartee its survival because dialects stand for our spiritual land.From a long-term perspective, dialects should not and would not be wiped out.There is no need for any purposeful and deliberate attempt to protect dialects.Just let dialects take their natural course.The best way to protect a dialect is to use it in daily life and pass it down from generation to generation.范文二:
Recently, China's State Administration of Radio Film and Television(SARFT)banned domestic radio and TV stations from translating foreign radio and TV programmes into any local dialect.According to the SARFT such dialect translation is of great damage for the national initiative to promote Mandarin all over the country.Therefore, foreign programmes that have been translated into dialects must be eliminated from television and radio as soon as possible.As a result, the opinion on this prohibition varys from person to person.Some people support this prohibition.While others express their concerns about this prohibition.These people who express their concern about this prohibition believe that the dialects still enjoy good popularity all over the country.The dialects do make unique role and should be toleratedfor existence in public places.From my point of view, I believe dialects are acceptable in public places.First of all, it is a kind of culture instead of a tool for communication.It is the messenger of its respective culture.If the dialect is totally eliminate from our life, the culture will be damaged and our life will be a little bit boring.Secondly, dailects can enrich the content of Mandarian and give a long-term development of Mandarian.The dialect in Northeast China also brings a lot of fun and happiness to the Chinese in recent years through the television and the internet.Such a cultural phenomenon represents the audience an attitude to local dialects which cater to the taste of the majority.Third, dialect is alsp the only way of communication to some undereducated local people.If local dialects are fobbiden in the public places, they can not communicate.Therefore, I safely come to the conclusion that local dialects should be tolerated in public places for its unique role which Mandarian can not replace.We should guartee its existance because dialects stand for our culture.From a long-term perspective, dialects should not and would not be prohibited.There is no need for any purposeful and deliberate attempt to protect dialects.Just let dialects take their natural course.09专八改错题目 Proofreading & Error Correction:
