听力原文:
Spot Dictation
Modern thieves do more than take your money, personal property and valuables.These days they can steal your very identity.By pretending to be you, a thief can order credit cards and run up massive debt in your name.They will get to enjoy the expensive purchases, and you will be left holding the bill.Criminals seek out personal information that they can use to pretend to be you.This includes credit card numbers, bank account information and private data.One of the easiest ways for them to do this is by going through your garbage and pulling out any relevant mail.A thief can pick up a credit card offer and order it to be sent to an alternate address.Once the card arrives, they activate it, run up the maximum amount of charges and move on.The credit card company will attempt to reach the person they believe to be you at the new location, and when that fails they will contact you directly.The best way to avoid this is to make sure no one has access to personal information about you.At the least you should tear up mail that has any relevant data on it.Better yet, shred these documents so there is no way they can be taped back together.A quick fix job will allow a thief to have the information they need to steal your identity.Anytime you go on vacation, make sure you have mail delivery stopped until you return.Even if you shred your mail like clockwork, if a criminal can get to it before you do they can access all the data they need without you knowing until it is too late.Most well known and established websites have secure methods for their customers to purchase products using a credit card, but there are thousands of other sites that may not be as reliable.Make sure that you only provide personal information on websites that you trust completely.Similarly, never give out credit card or other details on the phone.A person who claims they are calling from an online store to ask you for information to complete a transaction may actually be a hacker who got your private data online.A thief will send you an email telling you to log on to a well known website for an important reason.It may be to confirm or deny a transaction, to review a private message or some other call to action.A convenient link is provided for you to click on to be taken directly to the log in page.Once you arrive, you type in your name and password like always.Trouble is, the site you just logged on to is a fake.It is a page designed to look exactly like the real thing, but it is under the control of the criminals who created it.Now they have your log in information and can use it to get your credit card numbers and other private details from the genuine website.Stay alert to the new and devious tactics thieves use to steal not only your belongings, but also your identity.Destroy personal documents before you put them in the trash, make sure you only log in to the home page of any website and don't let criminals steal your good name.Part B: Listening Comprehension Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following conversation.(Woman)(Man)(Woman)(Man)(Woman)(Man)(Woman)(Man)(Woman)(Man)(Woman)(Man)(Woman)

Hi, Professor Johnson!Do you have a minute? Fredrick!Come in.I like your new office!
Thanks!It’s much nicer than my old one… What can I do for you? Well… er… I’d like to talk about my English.Your English is great!You were my top student last semester.How’s your new listening/speaking class with Professor Simmons?
He’s a good teacher, alright… but, I’m worried about my classmates.Your classmates?
I mean… my classmates are from all different countries.I’m afraid that if I talk with them during group work, I’ll pick up their accents.I wouldn’t worry about that if I were you.There’s no way you can pick up a different accent just from being in class a few hours a week.Really?
Really!Just think of all the English you’re exposed to every day here in the United States.You listen to the radio, you watch TV, you talk with your American friends, you chat with people in stores….Most of the English you hear is American English.You’re only with your classmates a couple of hours a day.That’s not going to affect your accent.Are you sure?
Positive!Let me give you an example….Umm … say you have a mother from Germany living in the United States.Let’s say she has a child here.Even if the mother speaks English with a German accent, her child will still grow up speaking American English.Why? Because the child’s getting language from lots of other places, not just the mother.It’s the same for your situation.I understand your example about the child… but I think children learn language differently than adults.Actually you’re right.It isn’t exactly the same because children CAN actually learn accents.Their minds and bodies are much more flexible than ours, so it’s easier for them.For adults who are studying a foreign language, accent is one of the hardest things to improve.In fact, most adults never lose their native accents.So does that mean I’ll never sound like a native speaker.Unfortunately that’s probably true.Hmmm… that makes me wonder if I should take that pronunciation class that I signed up for next semester.Since I’ll never sound like a native speaker, maybe I don’t need the class.I wouldn’t look at it that way.In a pronunciation class, there are still important things that you can learn.Like what, for example?
Like things that will make your speech clearer—things such as stress, rhythm, and intonation.(Man)(Woman)I’m sorry.I don’t know what these are.Let me give you an example….Umm… OK….Today, when I was calling on students in my speaking class, I noticed that one of my students was absent.I asked the class why Sylvia hadn’t shown up,… and one student said, “Professor, I talked to her this morning and she is homesick.” When I heard the word “homesick,” I immediately thought that Sylvia was missing her home country and was too depressed to come to school.So I starred asking more questions….Was she sad? Did she want to leave the United States to return home? After a few minutes.I realized that Sylvia was at home sick.She just had a bad cold.The student who was telling me about Sylvia said “homesick” instead of “home sick.”
(Man)(Woman)Oh!He said the words with the wrong… how do you say it … er …
The wrong stress.The problem was that the student put the stress on the wrong syllable.Problems like this are things that you study in a pronunciation class….And these are really important because if you get them wrong, there can be big(Man)
(Woman)misunderstandings.Like what happened in your class.Exactly!If you use correct stress when you speak, people will usually be able to understand you even if you have a different accent.For example, if someone had an Indian accent he might say … “She is home sick” … or if the person was from England he would say … “She is home sick.”
(Man)(Woman)(Man)(Woman)(Man)Or if the person was from Australia he would say …
“She is home sick”!Were you able to understand all these different accents? Yes!I’m surprised!
That’s because the stress was the same.But even if I can understand different accents, aren’t there some accents that are better than others? I’ve heard people say that a British accent is better than an American accent.Well, from my point of view—and most language teachers would agree--there’s no such thing as a “best” accent.Today, there are so many different kinds of English accents around the world.Saying that one accent is “better” or “worse” than another is like saying that one country or group of people is “better” or “worse” than another one.We can’t compare them that way—they’re just different.(Woman)
(Man)I guess you’re right….Uh oh … it’s getting late.I have to check out a book from the library before class, so I’d better get going.Thanks for your advice.I’ll think over what you said.Question No.1.Where does this conversation take place? Question No.2.Which of the following statements is TRUE, according to the professor? Question No.3.In the example given by the professor, what’s wrong with the student who said “homesick”? Question No.4.The professor speaks English with several accents.Which of the following does she NOT use? Question No.5.What does the student decide to do at the end of the conversation? Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following news.LONDON Britain’s economy risks overheating because of government budget deficits accumulated by Finance Minister Gordon Brown and an acceleration in house price growth, a Conservative party spokesman said.Oliver Letwin, opposition Conservative Party financial spokesman, said the government should curb speeding and do more to rein in house price growth, suggesting the Labour government is reluctant to curb overheating in the economy ahead of the next election.House prices growth accelerated to 19.1 percent in the quarter through April, the most since August.The Treasury estimated it would have a deficit or 37.5 billion pounds in the fiscal year through April, the biggest since Prime Minister Tony Blair’s Labour government took office in 1997.FRANKFURT Business confidence in the 12-nation euro area was probably unchanged in May at a three-year high, with gains limited by concern record oil prices may crimp a global economic recovery, a survey of economists showed.An index of confidence compiled by the European Commission may have stayed at minus 5, the highest since April 2001, according to the median forecast of 30 economists in a Bloomberg New survey.The report will be released on Friday.National indexes published in the preceding days will probably show confidence unchanged in France and falling in Germany and Italy.“Companies have become irritated by the higher oil price, and world trade may expand at a slower clip amid expectations for a slowdown in China and the US,” said Gabriele Widmann, an economist at Dekabank in Frankfurt.“We may have seen the peak in growth last quarter.TOKYO Tokyo stocks edged higher yesterday as investors bought bank issues on expectations the big four banks will deliver solid earnings results.The Nikkei Stock Average of 225 closed up 31.39 points, or 0.28 per cent, at 1.64 points.On Friday, the index gained 208.21 points, or 1.92 per cent.Bank issues led yesterday’s gains, as investors expected solid earning results from major banks.All big four banks—Mizuho, Sumitomo Mitsui, Mitsubishi Tokyo and UFJ—closed higher yesterday.Before trading ended yesterday, banks reported mixed results for the year ended March 31, with Mizuho, Sumitomo Mitsui and Mitsubishi Tokyo financial saying their profits improved, while UFJ posted another year of losses due to bad loan write-offs.All four banks said they would be profitable this year.DHAKA Grieving relatives of hundreds of people believed drowned when two ferries sank during a storm in Bangladesh, lined the banks of a notorious river yesterday as hopes dimmed that any more survivors would be found.Both ferries sank on Sunday during a sudden storm on the rain-swollen river Meghna near Chandpur, 170 kilometers southeast of Dhaka.About 100 people were rescued or swam to safety after the sinkings.By midday yesterday some 46 bodies had been recovered.And around 150 people were still unaccounted for, officials said.SEOUL A Japanese Coast Guard patrol boat fired around 20 teargas grenades yesterday at a Republic of Korea fishing vessel that was operating illegally in Japanese waters, injuring one of the crew members, the Coast Guard said.A Coast Guard official said the 70-ton fishing boat was operating inside Japan’s exclusive economic zone near the southern Japanese island of Tsushima, which lies between the two countries some 50 kilometres south of the Korean city of Pusan.The official said the Japanese patrol boat repeatedly ordered the fishing boat to stop in Korean and fired the grenades when it did not do so.The Korean Yonhap News Agency said the fishing boat’s captain was hit in the head by fragments of the exploding teargas grenades and taken to a hospital in Korean, but added that his injuries were not life-threatening, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reported.Question No.6.Why does Britain’s economy risk overheating? Question No.7.Which of the following statements best describes business confidence in the euro area? Question No.8.What is the financial position of the big four banks in Japan at present? Question No.9.Around how many people are believed to have drowned during a storm in Bangladesh yesterday? Question No.10.What happened yesterday in the sea areas between Japan and Korea?
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following interview.(Woman)Welcome back to Talk of the Nation: Science Friday.I’m Linda Flatow.We’re talking this hour about how and why people might become addicted to things other than drugs … addicted to things like gambling, sex, even shopping.Of course, our high-tech society also offers new high-tech addictions like video games, on-line chat rooms.Jonathan Kandell is a counselor at the University of Maryland who puts together a support group for students who find themselves addicted to the Internet.Maybe you should listen carefully to this one if you are an Internet groupie.He joins me now from his office in College Park.Welcome to the program.(Man)Thank you very much.(Woman)It this a relatively new addiction?(Man)Well, for some people, I mean, some people have been involved with the Internet for years and some of them may have been addicted for a while.With the widespread usage of the Internet now.… I mean … it’s certainly growing on(Woman)college campuses.And we are seeing more and more of it.How does it present itself? Does a student come to you and say, “Doc you gotta help me.I’m addicted to the Internet”?(Man)(Woman)(Man)(Woman)
(Man)(Woman)(Man)Well, I’ve seen people who have been, but they haven’t presented with that particular issue.They’ve presented with issues like relationship problems, or they are having problems maintaining their grades because they are spending so much time doing other things and when you find out what’s really going on … they’re spending a lot of time on the Net and they’re not paying attention to their studies … they’re not devoting the attention to the relationships.These problems are coming out in other ways
Do other people turn their friends in … saying, “Doc, you gotta find out … this … They haven’t to this point.At this point, people still see computers as a very positive thing.And I think there are many positive benefits for computers.But it’s such a new idea that there is a problematic piece to it … that, um … there haven’t been many people turning other people in.This is something I worry about … personally, myself.I’ll share this with you for a free consultation.I mean … whenever I get a chance and have some time, I love to go surfing on the Net.I’ll be on there sometimes, very surprisingly, I’ll be on there one o’clock in the morning … I’ll send somebody an e-mail message thinking they’ll get it the next morning.And I'll get an immediate response back … you know.What are the symptoms? How do I know when my Internet compulsiveness is turning into an Internet addiction?
Uh… I’m not sure the exact amount of time is really the issue, but I think when it becomes something that really begins to affect other areas of your life … when for instance your work performance or your school performance … or relationships with other people.Uh, one of the problems I see with the Internet, especially the chat rooms, is that people start developing relationships over the Net and they are very different from relationships that you have on a face-to-face basis, and you start losing some of the skills that make relationships successful … so that’s certainly a warning signal.I think if people are beginning to say something to you like, “You seem to be spending a lot of time on-line,” that’s probably a good indicator as well.…
But I think, a real important thing is to examine what’s going on with you when you are not on the Net … if you are beginning to feel anxious or depressed or empty or lonely … and you know you really look forward to those times when you can be on-line to be connected with other people in that way … then, I think, a serious issue is starting to happen.What about if you stop giving up other things, like going out for a walk? Is that a symptom?
Well, people have to make choices every day about the different activities that they’re going to do.I think it’s helpful to have some sort of balance on your life … if you can spend some time on the Internet and then go take a walk at a different time of the day.That’s not an issue.In fact, that’s one of the things that we suggest in the group is to somehow break the pattern.For example, set an alarm clock or something.When it rings, go out and take a walk, and then come back before you get back on-line.Question No.11.According to the man, why is Internet addiction so common now? Question No.12.What worries the interviewer about surfing on the Net? Question No.13.What is the problem with chat rooms, according to the man? Question No.14.The man says that several areas of a person’s life might be affected by Internet addiction.Which of the following is NOT one of these areas? Question No.15.What does the man suggest that students do to remind themselves to get off-line and take a walk?
Question 16 to 20 are based on the following talk.(Man)Pop Art is an artistic development that began in the late 1950s and became the most powerful art movement of the 1960s.Although it was a strong cultural force in Europe(especially in England), this lecture will concentrate on Pop Art in the United States.Pop artists were inspired by mass-produced visual media, such as television, magazines, comic books, billboards, and the design of common household objects, and used these things as the starting point for their art.Pop Art differed from earlier art movements.To understand Pop Art, it is helpful to know a little bit about the artistic movement that immediately preceded it.This movement was called Abstract Expressionism.Jackson Pollock is an example of an Abstract Expressionist.If we look at Pollock’s painting entitled Autumn Rhythm, we see a dense field of overlapping lines that swirl and move all over the surface of the canvas.This painting refers to the process of making the painting more than it refers to anything in the actual world.Pollock believed that his intuitive approach to making paintings could show his inner self.He said, “Painting is a state of being … [and] self discovery.Every good artist paints what he is.”
Abstract Expressionism was a highly personal art.It reflected the internal struggles of the individual artists.Pop Artists were not at all interested in this internal search.Instead, Pop Artists believed that art should have a more direct relationship to things in their world.The economic growth that began in the United States after World II gained speed in the 1960s.At the same time, television became a primary source of information and entertainment for the American people.In the late 1940s, about 10 thousand Americans owned televisions;by 1957 over 40 million Americans owned them.Artists of the 1940s and early 1950s used painting and sculpture to understand their own personal states of being.By comparison, the Pop Artists responded to the intense visual stimulation that the growing consumer culture created.Robert Rauschenberg was one of the first Pop Artists.He wanted to move art away from the personalities of the individual artists and direct it towards the world.The intuitive swirling forms of a Pollock painting said nothing to Rauschenberg about the rapidly changing world that he was experiencing.By the late 1950s, Robert Rauschenberg was using everyday objects, which he found on the street, as the material for his art.Imagine taking a long walk around New York and picking up stuff, like old magazines, tires, and crumbled cigarette boxes.What would happen if you tried to make art from this material? This is what Rauschenberg did.He wanted to have his art reflect the world he lived in.Rauschenberg didn’t try to impose a unified symbolic meaning on this collection of material.Instead he wanted the work to reflect the randomness of the things you might see if you were to walk around a densely populated area.By the early 1960s Robert Rauschenberg was concentrating less on the objects and more on the images he found.He was fascinated by how a single photograph could be distributed through a magazine or newspaper across the country virtually immediately.He thought that these printed photographs could comment on the speed at which information was being given to people living in the TV age.Rauschenberg’s use of found objects and images from everyday life was innovative and it set the stage for further development in Pop Art.Pop Artistes were interested in visual communication because they believed that these images reflected the cultural values of contemporary society.Question No.16.In which of the following periods did Pop Art start? Question No.17.By which of the following were Pop artists inspired? Question No.18.Which of the following statements is TRUE about Abstract Expressionism? Question No.19.What was the goal of the Pop artist, Robert Rauschenberg? Question No.20.Why were Pop artists interested in visual communication?
Note Taking and Gap Filling
Everyone likes having friends to lean on, but a friendship expert says that pals who tend to criticize us, dump their problems in our laps, or otherwise mess with our emotions might be harmful to our health.Recent scientific studies have shown that people with friends endure less stress, recover from heart attacks faster and live longer than the friendless.Plus, with divorce rates at 50 percent, and the average marriage age edging upwards, lifelong friends are in some cases replacing the ideal of having a lifelong spouse.But newer research is also taking a look at the impact of the friends that drain you, the “toxic friends” that some of us have in our lives.When do you pull the plug on the pals who zing veiled insults, barrage us with constant demands, or bring whining to our worlds? In her book, When Friendship Hurts, Jan Yager, a sociologist at the University of Connecticut in Stamford, says that negative, destructive friendships can wreak havoc on our lives and can even cause us serious harm.“There are incidents of friends actually causing their friends' deaths, from forcing friends in fraternity settings to drink and die, to a current lawsuit, where two friends went to a concert, and got high on drugs,” Yager said.One of the friends died, and the father of the other is suing.The most famous example of a toxic friendship is that of the two Columbine High School students, Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, whose friendship helped lead to a horrific massacre that left 12 students and a teacher dead on April 20, 1999.Similarly, gangs are friendships with negative motives, Yager said.Friends Who Hurt Us Emotionally But there are also friends who can be bad for us in emotion, and sometimes subtler ways with sly insults, and competitive one-upmanship.“The negative impact can be as devastating as poor self-esteem, stress, or career sabotage and the scary part is sometimes negative friends have influence over friends who aren't even aware of it,” Yager said.She says there are some 21 types of potentially negative friends.Among the villains: the faultfinder, the one-upper, the abusive friend, the double-crosser, and the person who engages in petty or criminal behavior.One woman had gotten drunk at a business party, and drove her friends home.No one was hurt, but her co-workers ostracized her afterward.The woman was willing to admit to her colleagues that what she did was wrong, which smoothed things over.Other varieties of negative friends include liars, overly dependent friends, and those who do not listen.Dara Tyson and Michele Comen, both 41, have been best friends since high school, and grew up around the block from each other in Brooklyn, N.Y.Now, they are both married with children, and live about 20 minutes apart.They have been through marriage, kids and divorce with each other and communicate in that shorthand that longtime friends have.But they have also had a whole lot of ups and downs, and sometimes wonder if their friendship is worth it.Comen says Tyson can be flip and dismissive, and that she pigeonholes people, sizing up situations too quickly.It irritates Comen, who is more analytical and likes to explain how she forms an opinion.Tyson, meanwhile, says that Comen is not empathetic at times, and that sometimes one or the other just doesn't “get it” when they're communicating.They sometimes think it would be easier to cut loose the friendship, but they have such deep ties, that it is difficult to do so.Yager says there are times to abandon a friendship, and times to stick it out.It's time to cut bait when the time spent with a friend is not rewarding.“It's when you have an interaction, it can be e-mail, a phone call, or a get-together, and you don't feel a sense of feeling good about the friend,” Yager said.“Since friendships are voluntary, it has to be someone to add to your life.” Though it is hard for both genders to end a friendship, women are more likely to feel like they need to discuss and understand it, while men are more likely to just walk away, and let it ride.In business, the male method of blowing off a friendship works more smoothly, and women are now realizing that what works at home, doesn't necessarily help them advance in the office, Yager said.When you decide to end a friendship, she suggests doing so in a gradual way.“The best thing is to wind it down, rather than stopping cold turkey, because in process of winding down or pulling away, most friends will get the hint,” Yager said.“In getting the hint, the person is now increasing his or her friendships with other people, so the sense of loss is minimized.” If the person senses that you are pulling away and asks what is happening, you should not fault them, but blame it on the interaction.“Say it's not you, it's not me, it's you and me together that is not the best interaction right now,” Yager said.That leaves room for resuming the friendship later on.Yager suggests that when possible, friendships that only sometimes verge on toxic should be repaired.“It takes two people to start a friendship, but only one to end it,” Yager said.“Because friendship is so precious and pivotal, it's important it only be ended with good reason, and the feeling that you tried to fix it.”
If you want to stick it out and make a toxic friendship work, Jan Yager, a sociologist, offers these five steps to help you figure out how to salvage a friendship.1.Do I want to invest the time/energy to turn it around? You may not want to, but have to, because you work together, or it's a friend of your spouse, you work in the same community, church, etc.2.Will the friend want to work through the conflict? You will need to assess whether your friend will want to work through the conflict.3.Will you discuss the friendship with a friend things ride for a while? Sometimes a cooling-off time can have a better long-term effect than doing something in heat of the moment, because people feel they have to do something.But if you write an angry e-mail, don't hit send.If you directly confront a friend who may not be ready to hear something, the friendship may be prematurely catapulted to an end over something that may not seem like a big deal in hindsight.4.Try conflict resolution techniques.A.Try to understand the words that caused the conflict.B.Listen carefully to one another
C.Agree to disagree.One of the reasons you're friends is that you aren't exactly the same.D.Validate the relationship.Let them know you want to stay friends.E.If appropriate, say 'I'm sorry.' 5.If you save the friendship, don't dwell on the resolved rift.Sentence Translation
1.Susan Sontag was considered one of the most influential liberal thinkers in the United States.She wrote seventeen books.They have been translated into thirty languages.2.You should smoke the fish for five days or longer if you plan to store them for a long time.After you finish smoking the fish, remove them and let them cool.3.On September fifteenth, Lehman Brothers, a one hundred fifty-eight year-old investment bank, sought legal protection from its creditors.It had failed to find a buyer after months of searching.4.Falling car sales threatened America's carmakers.The big three automakers--General Motors, Ford and Chrysler--told Congress that they needed loans or they faced bankruptcy.5.Credit rating agencies downgraded A.I.G.because of concerns it could not honor its contracts.Unable to get new loans, A.I.G.asked for government help.Passage Translation 1.We look back at this year's bad economic news in the United States.Economic growth was expected to slow in two thousand eight.Housing prices had been falling in the United States since two thousand six.But few economists predicted the financial collapse only a few months away.With the economy slowing, Congress passed a bill in February designed to ease the economic slowdown.The bill returned over one hundred fifty billion dollars to taxpayers.2.Some unemployed job hunters also hurt their chances by volunteering to take a significantly lower salary than what they earned in their last job.An offer to take a pay cut of more than 20% can suggest to employers that you're biding your time and would re-enter the job market in search of higher-paying positions once the economy improves Or, you might unwittingly imply that you're going to ask for a raise soon after coming on board.Reading test 1-5 CBDAB 6-10 CABAA 11-15 DACBC 16-20 ADBCB

If righteousness represents a life attitude in ethics, interest a utility attitude, then the sensibilities represent a perspective of life through aesthetic perception.It insists on acting in candor, in blast and stop, and that everyone maintains his true character.You are not the creed that you espouse, nor your possessions, but yourself in the sense of your genuine character.The meaning of life consists not in sacrifice or possession, but in creation, which is the positive disposition pervasive in people's true character and the emotional satisfaction after the realization of his essential power.People with genuine disposition pursues emotional exchanges in his dealing with other people and the unique flavor of objects in his appreciation of them.What is most precious is that in an era of rash pursuit of interest by people and unavoidable pursuit of people by interest, the proper man has a leisurely manner in his handling of both people and things.I don't mean the Chinese scholar-bureaucrats’ leisurely and carefree mood, nor the peasants’ easy content and conservativenes, but an indifference to fame and fortune without slavery to interest or materials.occupies on earth.However, though larger than the ocean is the sky, even larger is the human mind, for in it imagination can come and go on the wing without limitation.In their jouney through life, some people hurry on with a heavy heart in pursuit of fame and gain, while others go with an easy, grace, enjoying themselves in harmony with nature.

HW:在中国出九年制义务教育和全日制普通高等教育外,还有很多其他教育形式。这些教育模式设立的初衷是为了给那些由于种种原因未能接受大学教育的人提供第二次深造的机会。据中国教育部的统计数字表明,自1986年至今,累计已有168600人通过各类考试获得了专科或本科的文凭,而他们中的大多数人活跃在祖国的各行各业,为社会的发展做出了应有的贡献。
Apart from 9-year compulsory edu and general higher edu,there are many other forms in China.The aim of which is to provide those who for reasons fail to receive higher edu with a second opportunity to be educated.According to the statistics from Chinese Edu Ministry,there are 168600 people having gained the diploma of associate undergraduate or undergraduate through exams since 1986.A majority of them is playing an active role in all walks of life and making their due contribution to our society.三、4、concept:founder/Father/pioneer/predecessor奠基人 classical edu古典教育

HW:过去的8年中,中国的房地产业经历了前所未有的泡沫现象和过热问题。以上海为例,8年前,每平方米房价不过4千,而现在已经涨到了9800元。这对于那些月薪不足4000元但又可望在上海拥有一套自己的、像样的栖身之所的工薪阶层来说是难以承受的负担。有鉴于此,上海市政府出台并实施了一系列措施,如提高利率、增加房产税等来抑制投机行为,目前已经取得了初步的成效。
The past 8 years witnessed unprecedented real estate bubble and overheating.Taken Shanghai as an example,the averal housing price 8 years ago was nerely 4000RMB per square meter,but 9800 now,which is underaffordable burden to those wage-owners with no more than 4000 monthly income who long for possessing a decent apartment of their own in Shanghai.Considering this,Shanghai municiple government put forward and carry out a series of measures including raising interest rate and real estate tax aiming to curb the speculation,the initial effects of which are shown.省略句:e.g.1)China is America's fourth trade partner and America China's second.2)Asia enjoys the fasted economic growth in the world,China in Asia,Shanghai in China,and Pudong in Shanghai.补充:enterprises企业 entrepreneur企业家

第五篇:高级口译心得
总算把期末考试的事情搞完了,饭后敲敲键盘来积点德,希望能够帮到想通过高级口译考试的同学,望牛人见到不要拍砖。山外有山,人外有人,英语牛人这么多,还轮不到我们来沾沾自喜,写这篇文章目的是希望能让后来者少走弯路。在考高口之前,外界评论将这考试说的神乎其神,一度搞得我没有信心,但好在坚持下来了。考试通过之后,发现自己其实也没有多大的提升,还是会有很多不懂的地方,听不懂看不懂也猜不懂,前几天给人讲过去完成时态都搞不清楚,还要去百度。
不过,通过考试,转机之间,真不是运气。如果说别的考试还有技巧可言,高级口译考试当中,小技巧固然是有,可都是以实力为依托。
高级口译考试全称《上海市外语口译证书》高级,是个职业资格证书,也就是说只有过于不过之分,最近几年很热。考试分笔试口试,笔试300分中考到180分者可有4次机会参加口试。笔试是专业八级的难度,而口试的综合性超过专八。笔试听说有裸考过的,口试还真没有。笔试的通过率为百分之20左右。口试就比较悲催了,一般只有百分之10,不过今年上半年听早于我半年通过考试的master wen 说,杭州上半年去了300个考口试,只过了19个,淘汰率可想而知。
个人认为高级口译考试是大学英语六级之后的对英语的一个极好的补充,笔试口试涵盖的面包含听说读写译5大方面,对英语能力的拔高很有好处。高级口译虽为高级口译,可其实没那么高级,专业性并没有那么强。
花了余1000小时准备考试,并人品爆发一次通过笔试口试,笔试215.5。本文涵盖笔试口试的准备以及一些小技巧小心得,和笔试时间的控制(精确到30秒)。好,废话少说,切入真题。走你......笔试
笔试教材:《高级听力教程》 《高级翻译教程》 《高级口译真题汇编》 《中/高级口译词汇必备》(其他两本口语和阅读教程不需要)
笔试分上下半场,上半场时间很紧,下半场还行。
上半场顺序:听力(32分钟)--翻译(18~20分钟)--阅读(38~40分钟)下半场顺序:听力(31分钟)--翻译(19~20分钟)--阅读(其余时间)翻译尽量在20分钟之内完成,其余的时间全用来做阅读。
必须注意一点,上半场考试听力从开始到结束是30分钟,也就是说你还需要额外的时间去填答题卷,这会占用你后面的考试时间,高口考试中A couple of minutes do count!最好的办法是,挤时间,spot-dictation 有2分钟时间,抄写20个选项一般需要3分30秒左右,不可能全部抄完,一般抄到第7到8个选项就开始看后面的选择题。在做Q11到Q20时,有时候问题与问题之间听力原文的废话较多,这时候可以将选择题答案写到答卷上,并看看别的题目。Anyway,做到section1结束时,只留12个左右的spot-dictation答案待填到答卷,这样顶多占用2分钟!
平时在做主观阅读时,保证至多9分钟一篇,到9分钟了就不要留恋文章,直接看下一篇!这样4篇需要36分钟,听力32分钟,翻译20分钟,就可以至少留下2分钟的意外缓冲时间。(我考笔试时,发卷老师由于没有以往监考高口的经验,一直到spot-dictation的英文介绍读完,开始报文章第一句话时才将卷子发到我手上,所以考试时候的缓冲时间需要留!)
Section 1听力(听到什么是什么,不做任何层次的延伸和递进):
一、spot-dictation 拿到题目赶快读下大概意思,并将可能的中心词划出,因为中心词汇会多次被读到需要我们去写,可以用圆圈代替。spot-dictation 念完后,有2分钟时间,抄写20个选项一般需要3分30秒左右,不可能全部抄完,一般抄到第7到8个选项就开始看后面的选择题。
可以利用简写符号来代替听到的内容,但必须做到一一对应,否则等到你将答案抄到答题纸上去时会搞不清楚。4for 2to expln v explain expln n explanation >more abt about mn many smn so many θ the $money hv have hs has *special Cos children Co child
二、Q1-Q5,一般问的那个人每问一个问题就对应一题。(一问对应一题,同样也适用于Q11-Q15或Q16-Q20的采访类文章)在问时抓住关键词,能得到提示。
*:有时Q2会在Q1之前出现,不过一般这种情况Q2的选项都比较短。有时Q5回问关于整篇文章的内容,也就是说问全文大意之类。
三、.如果没有抓住听力的内容,不能仅依据自己的常识来判断答题。根据一般常识最可能得出的结论往往不是正确答案。
四、新闻听力Q6-Q10。新闻听力可以先找BBC练习,找找感觉,等能跟得上BBC的速度时,可就不会觉得新闻听力速度快了,可听懂是容易,边听边看选项做判断不易。所以需要借助小技巧。一般听到的第一个信息点就是答案,可也不一定完全是这样,有时选项会有换词(听力原文的主语不变在选项中能看到,而把形容词或者动词换掉,所以需要会判断。)做的同时要将听到的信息在选项后面做标注,这样可以帮助选出答案。
Section 4 听译
一、5句句子听译中往往有1到2句包含数字(百分比,日期,金额等等)段落听译2段中,定有1段包含数字。
二、在实际做段落听译时,可有意识的将整段分成几个小段,帮助记忆。只要抓住这几个要点并将其一一译出,得分不会低。只要写出每小段大意,老师就会酌情给分。所以,有的句子听到只有一点点info,也要写下,不要放弃,一个信息点根据上下文的意思扯出一句话。
三、听译题只要求考试译出原话的主要内容或者大意,并不要求逐字逐句翻译(教程原话)。因此,在考试时应集中注意力,理解整句或整个段落的主要内容,译出大意即可,有些细节可省去不翻译。
四、段落听译时一定要同步。从听到第一个信号词开始就马上记录。Otherwise,第一句慢0.5s,第二句慢1s.....后面即使听懂了也跟不上了!
Section 2主观阅读
一、在问到态度时,答案大部分与中立客观有关。
二、最重要的信息在开头部分,尤其前三段。主题句很可能出现在第一段或者第二段开头。主题句判断:1.用词和含义抽象概括,一般无具体内容2.出现first,foremost,latest,extraordinary,striking,essential,critical之类以及,最高级、序数词或特殊意义的词,多半是主题句。
三、与事件直接相关的信息被认为是最重要的,因此位置靠前,而后才是次要的信息。
四、作者通常在最后加上一两段和该消息有点关系,但又不是很重要的信息作为结尾。
五、长句在快速阅读中只抓主干,舍从属。从句,并列结构,插入语可以迅速掠过。
六、重要内容叫主题,次要内容叫支持性细节。高口大部分是论说文,说理为主,说明为辅。细节支持主题,为主题服务。诸如具体数字之类的内容属于支持性细节。
七、并列平行的内容是支持性细节,其具体内容没必要重点阅读。八、一个人的观点在一个段落中通常不改变(除非but...)所以当碰到“...can be replaced by...”时可按照这一原则,上半节说好,下半节肯定也是维护个人观点,说好。
九、议论文第一段和最后一段精读,其中会有作者的意图。
十、学会定位词,题目和文章顺序有时不同。
Section 5主观阅读
有人把主观阅读称为高口笔试中最难的题型,就题型的设计来说,的确是最难的。不过,以前在听老师说,这类题目改卷老师根本不会去看你有没将原文的词换过还是直接抄下来,改卷老师只是根据他手上拿到的信息点,踩点给分,有几点给多少分。所以做题时,时间抓紧,定位好了,不要组织什么语言,换什么词,直接抄吧,答题卷上有4行空格,那就抄4行,多抄不会扣分!但一定注意卷面整洁,否则老师改卷很累,你写的一塌糊涂老师不愿意仔细看你的内容,你就栽了。
Section5 英翻中
一、修饰语较长必须加以切分,将修饰语单独成句。林超伦说过,一个句子当中如果有2个以上修饰的“的”,就是不正常,需要拿掉其余的单独成句。这样才符合中文的口味。
二、每篇英翻中都至少有一句长句需要拆分,注意在该点拿分。
三、中文中被动使用频率不高,在翻译时转换成主动句。
四、不论英翻中还是中翻英,做之前先找长句子、成语习语、专业词汇和抽象含义居多的词汇,后再确定翻译技巧,切忌一上来就动笔,难点重点不分。
五、英翻中时,篇章熟悉则还能应付,如不熟悉,一定不要被文章英文的写法和思维方法牵着鼻子走,这时候尽量意译。(以平时的经验去猜,然后意译)
六、不熟悉的词组和单词只能按照常识联系上下文译,这样反而会译出意译的效果。eg:genetic carbon copies of adults 这里的carbon copy是个词组,是“及其相似的人或物”的意思,如不清楚,将整句译成:“成人基因的碳拷贝”,就弄巧成拙了,还不如直接译成“成人基因”。
七、预读时,主抓大意,遇到结构复杂的句子,把关键结构划出。比如:shift away from....toward....,pit....against....这样,如果需要短句,就不会把这个词组断开,而不知道各自意思了。(由于时间紧,后面翻时很可能搞错结构)
Section 6中翻英
我那时候考试没有总结什么技巧,反正就是,翻吧
口试
口试分口语和口译两部分。
我是去的上外考的口试,口试前一天去的上海,在虹口足球场旁边的汉庭开了间房,旁边就是地铁3号线,交通比较方便,距离上外虹口校区走路也就10分钟左右。
第二天考试来到上外进门往左的一幢小红房子里,来到三楼,关手机,用牛皮信封将手机封起来,进场。坐在一个大教室里,等一组组叫号,结果我是第10组被叫到的,被叫到的时候我已经在那坐了2个多钟头,期间上过3次厕所,因为紧张。并且把口译教程课后的8篇实战来回口译了两遍,做了下小热身。
叫到号了,和同组的战友们被领进一个小教室,给了一个话题,是关于地铁性骚扰的,准备5分钟后,去各自的口译考试小教室外等候。其实在等候的时候还是有时间来回串联下刚刚的话题,因为前一个考生还没考完。这个时候不要凑近耳朵去听里面在讲什么,因为是防盗门,一来听不清楚,二来就算让你听到了些只言片语,你也没多大用处,只会给自己徒增压力,反而还不如好好准备下话题呢。
进考场,是个小办公室,两个女老师坐我对面,我进门说good morning,由于紧张,脸部僵硬,硬是没挤出笑容。
开始说话题,由于原先参加过口语大赛,对这种模式的口语考试早已没有多大感觉,因为我知道老师听的是我说的顺不顺,不会太在乎我的观点有多么美妙精辟,口语只是热身。口语部分比较顺利,说的老师都被我逗乐了,因为我发音很标准,又有点英式口音,所以口语这块没问题,pass.口语说完就开始按下录音机开始考口译(按下的同时发的白纸,速度折成熟悉的4小页)。英翻中前2段都是教程上的,翻的很顺利,后最后一段基本没听懂,笔记只抓到了只言片语,不过本着宁烂勿缺的精神,胡说一通。
中翻英,都还行,第3段有点小磕碜,第4段一个中心词翻错了,不过没事。错2段,考完就知道自己肯定过了。
谈下口试技巧以及准备方法:
首先,在你准备笔试之前,就应该把整本教程课文和课后的内容认认真真过一遍。在考完笔试之后,再过一遍,与此同时,用新东方的那本《中高级口译口试备考精要》的高口部分做实战练习,前面的文章都较难,从第10篇左右开始就接近口试难度了,但比口试难度稍高。将那本书练习完之后,期间配上口译教程后面的8篇实战练习(注意书上的每段翻译时间只有30秒左右,比实际少15秒),口试没问题。口译课文要做到看到就能一口气翻下去,这样做听译时候才能游刃有余。(注意教程中英文篇章较难,实际考试没有那么夸张,将重点放在中翻英上会比较好!)
一、在考试时用简单的词把意思说清楚就可以了。
二、在译员的口译中,基本是看不见从句或分词的,即使是要连接两个句子,也基本是用and和but这样的词。
三、切忌追求花哨的句型,考官不会因为你用了花哨的句型而给你加分,或是用了简单的句型而扣分,他注意的是你有没有把意思翻出来。
四、学会“重复”,“重复”可以增加思考时间,让语言保持连贯,让语言表达更清楚易懂。
五、猜生词。生词是形容词或者是副词,不翻出来问题也不是很大。
即使是关系句子意思的生词,也可以通过上下文推出,切忌听到生词就听下来思考,这个时候,仔细听下面的内容其实更重要。
六、口译的时候,一定要说完,每一句很简单也要尽量说完,这最重要。没说完,内容不完整,是硬伤,一定会扣分,句子翻得好烂,老师都会酌情给点分。
七、英译汉,重在听力,尽量听懂,不要太专注于笔记,可以直接写中文,这样翻时可以节省下组织语言的时候,可以快点。(只要听懂了,脑中就记了个大概,基本都能说完)
八、汉译英,重在记要点,因为肯定能听懂,但记不全,不要妄想都记下来。因为就算全记下来,也很难一字不漏的翻完。翻时切记把要点都翻了,不要管什么句型和结构,关键是说完!
