5月8日三级口译真题回忆和考试介绍

第一篇：5月8日三级口译真题回忆和考试介绍

折腾了一天总算考完了，考之前曾看到有人去年真题的回忆帖子，当时也是受益良多，现在也把记得的今天的题目跟各位分享分享。

我在郑州大学新校区考的，综合和实务都有草纸发，这与那位同学的考点不太一样，而且我实务要了两张纸。

好了言归正传：

综合能力：

判断是一整篇的记叙文，这与之前的模拟题类型很不一样，不过也更容易听懂大意，不过细节更需要留心，很多地方都是替换一两个词而已。

对话：略 有几个是选项之间比较绕的文字游戏，需要看清选项。

篇章的内容分别是：1.纽约中学情况介绍，包括各人种比例，毕业率，饮食费收取情况等等。2.有关做梦 科技类文章 3.芭比娃娃的由来

填空： 中国经济方便，只有这项算沾点实事的边，很多选项是一空填多词，这与我之前以为大多是一空一词比较不同，幸好我之前突击了下经济类词汇。

摘要：关于减肥运动 这个我做的比较挫，开始担心时间不过，基本上是把听懂的乱写一气，最后发现还有时间。归根结底还是我平时的练习过于眼高手低，只听没写的时候多。

下午的实物：

对话：北京地区提升水价

英译汉： 比尔盖茨的演讲部分，关于微软的崛起和他个人参与的慈善基金

汉译英：农民工子女在大城市的教育问题

英译汉比我想的要简单，其他两个做的比较不好一些，尤其是农民工我竟然忘了怎么说……在这里再次普及下 ：peasant worker 或者是migrant worker

每句的答题间隔不一，个别的短句给的时间也会短一些，这一点要注意。

二级、三级口译笔译考试介绍：

二级口译、笔译一般是从事英语专业工作的人员考的。二级和三级都分别实行统一大纲、统一命题、统一标准的考试办法。

另外，翻译专业资格（水平）证书实行定期登记制度，每3年登记一次，再次登记时还要提供接受继续教育或业务培训（主要内容是职业道德教育、翻译业务培训，由译协负责实施）的证明，因此并非四六级考试一样考一次一生通用。

笔译考试设《笔译综合能力》和《笔译实务》两个科目，时间分别是2个小时和3个小时。

目前国家政策要求翻译专业的研究生毕业要达到二级水平。中国译协05年起允许获得三级以上证书的人直接申请成为译协的个人会员。

不同的人群要选择好考试语种、级别，如最简单的三级（初级）考试就适合一些非外语专业本科毕业、通过大学英语六级考试或外语大专毕业生水平，并具备一定的口笔译实践经验；而二级（中级）却适合非外语专业研究生毕业或外语专业本科毕业生水平，并具备3至5年的翻译实践经验；要考取一级（高级）证书应该是最为困难的，它要具备8至10年的翻译实践经验，是某语种双语互译方面的专家。鉴于此，非英语专业的大学本科毕业生，最好从三级（初级）考起。通过初级口译或初级笔译者，可承担一般性会谈的口译工作或一般性材料的翻译工作。

考试题型：

综合能力考试：

判断，填空，篇章理解，听力综述（听完一篇文章再写英语综述）

口译实务考试：

英汉互译（对话），英汉交替传译，汉英交替传译

11月14日上午的中口口语话题：

如何解决大城市的交通拥堵问题。

英译汉第一篇：美国的旅游和交通

口译教程上有一篇很相似的内容，在课堂上也讲解过。

英译汉第二篇：领导者和人民的关系

这是以往不太出现的内容，值得之后的考生特别关注。

汉译英第一篇：上海菜

口译教程上有相似话题的内容，课堂讲义里也有类似关于饮食的练习。

汉译英第二篇：08年抗震救灾和北京奥运

抗震救灾话题与事实相结合，口译考试从来不拒绝热点。北京奥运在课堂讲义里有相关专题，真题也进行过练习。希望大家有好的发挥。

11月14日下午的中口口语话题：

The high-speed rail in china。又是当前的热点话题。还没考的童鞋们关注了啊。

英译汉第一篇：car rental services in USA

此篇出自中级口译教程 4-1行在美国。在课堂上练习过，也作为回家作业做过。说的是去美国旅行的一些建议：不要买车而是租车。因为美国是世界上租车业最发达的国家。有美国的两大汽车巨头在各机场设有办公楼，其他地方城市其他的美国租车公司有设办事处。

英译汉第二篇：economic recovery

主要说最近经济复苏，亚洲遥遥领先远超过欧洲的恢复速度，特别是中国和印度更是复苏的领头羊。美国的经济有望借复苏的势头来年恢复经济，但还存在一些潜在的风险。

汉译英第一篇：京河高科技园区简介

此篇出自中级口译教程 2-4 参观访问。其中涉及到“走马观花”这样的四字格，“背靠渤海”这样地理方位的描述。虽然在课堂上作为回家作业让同学做过，但没有充分准备的话，依然会觉得难度较大。汉译英第二篇：上海世博会

上下午的考题一对比，大家读出些什么讯息了么？上午和下午都统一考到了美国交通和旅行的状况。记得五月份的某一次二阶段考试，上下午都考到了中国传统文化的内容。也许是巧合，但每一次巧合背后会有一定的道理。正在备战的聪明的你们，知道怎么做了？

11月21日中级口译口试

英译汉第一篇：商务洽谈此篇出自中级口译教程 3-3 合资企业。

英译汉第二篇：志愿者活动看来命题者深受“小白菜”们的影响。

汉译英第一篇：来沪工作

此篇出自中级口译教程 3-1 欢迎光临。涉及reception and ceremonial speech的内容。汉译英第二篇：中日关系紧跟时事的节拍，值得后面的考生注意。

11月28日上午的口语题：

Competition: a good thing or a bad thing?

英译汉第一篇： the differences in work ethics between the Chinese and Americans.改编自《中级口译教程》3-4 文化差异

英译汉第二篇：knowledge-based economy

难度较大。讲的是知识经济时代，要求年轻人有长远的眼光，开放的头脑，善于发挥自己的潜力。知识经济的特点之一是创新。创新不仅意味着创造知识，而且要运用这些知识。

汉译英第一篇：吸引外资

改编自《中级口译教程》2-4 参观访问。在课堂讲义的第一单元后面作为回家作业要求大家完成的。汉译英第二篇：世博与旅游

主要内容说世博和旅游历来是相互结合，相互促进的。成功举办世博会是党和人民赋予旅游业的历史使命和光荣任务。世博近期还是热点话题。上几周的考试也考过。

11月28日下午口试：

先给了一段文章，大意是 One Foundation Report from Beijing Normal University on philanthropy and charitable course in China.话题是 Should there be a minimum for billionaires’ donations?英译汉第一篇：entrepreneurial culture

整段难度非常大。很多同学一上来都懵了。其实此段改编自《中级口译教程》13-1 企业文化。英译汉第二篇：global food crisis

现在全球粮食危机严重，超乎我们的想象。商品价格飙涨，粮食价格高。贫困人群尤其是儿童营养状况堪忧。整段难度不大，但同学收到上一段的打击，加之这段三个数字的口译，总体不太理想。

汉译英第一篇：如何教育青少年

典型的青少年教育话题，难度一般。一方面父母期望过高，另一方面网络科技的发展容易引发青少年犯罪问题。青少年的健康成长需要家庭、学校和全社会的共同努力。

汉译英第二篇：中美合作关系

典型的双边关系话题，套句很多。经过训练的同学一定能顺利通过。主要讲中美两国是具有影响力的国家。两国有广泛的共同利益和合作基础。两国的建设性合作关系符合两国人民的根本利益，有利于世界的和平、稳定和发展。

总体感受：

口语部分虽不是最关键的，但良好的intonation以及流利度会给考官极好的印象。后面的口译打分自然就会有偏向，也许不及格的句子会偏向及格。

得教程者得天下。尤其是英译汉第一段基本都来自教程。而顺利拿到英译汉第一段是对士气的很大鼓舞。把讲过的内容记熟且流畅地表达出来就已经很好了。进考场前问问自己是不是已经把笔记的重要词组都口头过了一遍。

时事需关注，出题有时候有滞后效应。比如世博还是考了。上几周还考到08奥运和抗震救灾。关注时事，同时善于思考，多开口讨论。

queueing up anonymously at a supermarket.And the proprietor knows well that persona1 service has a substantial cash value.His Prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, bu he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing.The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour.They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them..The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course.But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce.Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedly individualist in their ways.For example, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thick-set, irritable man whom children treat with marked respect, knowing that an ill-judged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time.He stares with contempt at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash? But we all know he will in fact do excellent work upon them.And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxury.1.The services available in villages nowadays are normally_________.(A)fewer but still very active(B)less successful than earlier but managing to survive(C)active in providing food for the village and tourists(D)surprisingly energetic considering the little demand for them 2.The local grocer’s shop is expanding even though________.(A)town shops are more attractive(B)town shops are larger and less well-known(C)people like to shop where they are less well-known(D)people get extra service in townshops 3.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about delivering goods?(A)They tend to forget it.(B)They will not consider it.(C)They take it for granted.(D)It does not seem worth their while 4.Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that_________.(A)there is a wide range of goos available(B)goods not in stock can be obtained whenever they are needed(C)special attention is given to the needs of wealthier customers

(D)goods are always restocked before they run out 5.In what way is the village shoemaker a “formidable figure”?

(A)He seems to pay little attention to public opinion.(B)He refuses to mend cheap,mass-produced shoes.(C)He has a very rough temper.(D)He has very high standards of workmanship.Questions 6--10 Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to have their attention diverted by a sign that read—A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS.This self-defeating warning has now been removed, but its message is still very much to the point.Almost anyting can cause an accident.Apart from momentary inattention, it might be a minor miscalculation, a sudden fit of coughing, a bop on the head with a teddy-bear from a child in the back seat, an argument with the wife, fog, falling asleep at the wheel, bad eyesight, a glaring sun, ice, rain, wind, or snow—a1l these can make the difference between a tragic hit and a lucky miss.Although human error plays its part, it is by no means the only cause of accidends.There must be some cause other than simple human error.Road construction plays its part: researchers have found that it is not at the obvious danger spot—sharp corners, cross-roads, narrow lanes—that accidents happen.It is on those roads where there are subtle visual traps, unexpected changes in the shape or surface of the.road, or even insufficient or badly-placed signs.Wherever there is a 'black spot', it means that something is seriously wrong with the road.Why else did the careless driving of so many come out at that particular spot? What the law requires when you have an accident There are, firstly the legal formalities of exchanging names and addresses with others involved in an accident and, in certain cases, informing the police.However, you are required by law to stop after an accident only if: l Somebody other than yourself in or outside your car has been injured.2 A vehicle not your own has been damaged.3 Any horse, cow,donkey,sheep, or dog has been injured.It has been said that if a driver continues unaware of causing injury he must be acquitted.But the courts are wary of that excuse.Furthermore, the driver himself must wait at the scene;it is not enough for him to leave his chauffeur or a friend to attend to the boring formalities while he goes off on more important business.If you have been involved in an accident and have stopped, you must give your name, address, and registration number to anyone who has a good reason for requesting it;this means anyone affected by the accident.If these formalities are complied with it is not necessary to wait for the arrival of the police.It is，however, often wise to do so.The police are expert at drawing plans, taking measurements and photographs and gathering other evidence.In your absence the police could be given a biased story against you;and you yourself migh wam to point out certain features of the accident to the police.6.A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS'(para.l)is a self defeating Warning because______.(A)it will make a driver wait at the scene(B)it will distract the driver's attention(C)it is too difficult to understand(D)it is too long to be read by drivers 7.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A)After an accident you have to give your name to anyone who asks for it.(B)Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to ignore the sign.(C)Road construction problems can be a major cause of accidents.(D)A 'black spot' is a part of the road where there are no signs.8.'Subtle visual traps'(para.3)are ______.(A)places where the police hide in order to trap motorists(B)parts of the road which are deceptive to the driver's eye

borders—an obvious source of disputes and instability especially as the climate changes.The whole of the sub-Saharan Africa, most of South Asia and western South America are most at risk.The reason: the rapid melting of glaciers due to global warning.At the meeting of the coalition of 27 Intemaional charities last month, Gareth Thomas, minister of Intenatonal Development of the British government, wrote to prime minister Gordon Brown demanding action to ensure fresh water to 1.1 billion people with poor supplies.”If we do not act now, the reality is that water supplies may become the subject of international conflict in the years ahead.We need to invest now to prevent us having to pay that price in the future“, Thomas said.The department warned that two-thirds of theword's population will live in water-stressed countries by 2025.The coalition of charities has appealed for a global effort to bring running water to the developing world and supply sanitation to a further 2.6 billion people.It said that international investment is needed now to prevent competition for water to destabilize communities and escalate into conflicts.Tackling the water and sanitation crisis is essential if the Millennium Development Goal Call to Action is to be a success.Otherwise, progress on health, education, and environment sustainability will be undermined.Each year 443 million school days are lost globally to diarrhea and 1.8 million children die from these diseases.In fact, it is often not realized tha investing in sanitation and water brillgs the greatest public health gains, more than any other single development intervention and delivers enormous economic

gains.Already, some Asian countries have put tackling these issues at the forefront of theirdevelopment efforts.The Millennium Development Goals aim to halve the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water by 20l5.To achieve that urgent action needs to be taken.There is no doubt that climate change is potentially the most important factor affecting water shor tage.This, compounded with a growing and increasingly urbanized global population will put pressure on food and water.For a temperature rise of 2°C, which is likely to happen by 2050, there would be a catastrophic 2 to 3 billion people suffering from water stress.11.What does the author think is primarily responsible for water shortages in the world ?(A)Climate chance.(B)Border dispute.(C)World competition.(D)Political instability 12.According to Gareth Thomas, _______ is the price we have to pay for water shortage if we do not take immediate action.(A)sanitation crisis(B)intemational conflict(C)global warming(D)over-urbanization 13.What can the coalition of charities do to prevent competition for water ?(A)Appealing for international investment.(B)Bringing running water to the developing world.(C)Supplying sanitation to billions of water-stressed people.(D)Enhancing world environment sustainability 13.The Millennium Development Goals aim to_______ in the near future.(A)tackle the water and sanitation crisis(B)yield economic gains as well as public health gains(C)mak progress on health, education and environment sustainability(D)provide more people with clean drinking water 15.According to the passage, what will add to water shortage ?(A)Oil scarcity.(B)A drop in temperature(C)A growing population.(D)Reduced food supply Questions 16.-20 Parenting was never a piece of cake in any age, but probably the greatest source of headache for parents today in Japan is the ubiquitous cellphone.Today, 96 percent of senior high school students and 58 percent of junior high school students have cellphones.Even among primary school children, 3l percent have them.By enabling youngsters to stay connected with their parents at all times, these gadgets help to keep children safe.For the kids, they are fun toys, too, that let them text to or chat with their pals whenever they wat, play Intemet games, and enjoy blogging for their own profile and diary purposes.But terrible dangers lurk beneath all that fun and convenience.Every year about l,000 children become involved in rape and other crimes through dating service sites.Violent and obscene images are only a couple of clicks away.On gakkoura saito, or so-called unofficial school websites where kids can post whatever they want, anyone can fall victim to brutal ''verbal mob lynching” by their peers.Amid today's urgent need to address these problems, the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding has issued a report.In response to the Prime Minister's recent comments---“I carmot think of one good reason for(letting youngsters)have a cellphone“ and ”I would like everyone to discuss whether cellphones are really necessary:“----the report recommended that ”parents, guardians, schools and all parties concerned should cooperate among themselves, so that elementary school pupils and junior high school students do not have a cellphone unless there is a compelling reason for them to do so.“ But since many parents believe in the necessity of cellphones as a safety tool, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to do away with them.Rather, it would make more sense for guardians, schools and cellphone companies to consider, from their respective standpoints,how cellphones should be used by children.We suggest that parents sit down with their offspring and talk about their “houserules”for cellphone use.For instance, sct the hours allowed, so the kids won't be texting to their friends late into the night, remind them never to give away personal information online, and so on..But there are limits to what individual families can do, and this is where we also suggest that schools should educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use.One way to go about this, for instance, may be for each class to set its own rules on sending e-mail messages.16.The word ”ubiquitous“(para.l)is closest in meaning to ________.(A)updated(B)sophisticated(C)prevalent(D)obsolete 17.Many parents let their kids have cellphones because they ________.(A)want their kids to keep up with the IT World(B)can't think of anything better for their kids to have fun(C)don't want their kids to miss 'what other kids have(D)believe cellphones endble them to stay connected 18.Which of the following is NOT the potential risk kids may face when using cellphones?(A)Involvement in rape-related crime

(B)Exposure to violent and obscene images(C)Falling victim to brutal curses.(D)Being tracked down by unofficial school websites.19.The report issued by the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding______.(A)recommended minimizing the use of cellphones among kids(B)suggested setting “house rules” for cellphone use

(C)urged parents to remind their children about ce1lphone use(D)pressed schools to educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use 20.What is the main idea of the passage?(A)Parents neglect to protect their kids from cellphones.(B)Parenting with cellphones is a source of headache.(C)Cellphones should be banned from campus.(D)Kids need lessons on the uses of cellphones Question 21--25 Extract I

A stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet as perfect foil to an eclectic array of furniture.Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together Thc prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat's occupant.He is pictured in his living room which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining room by a high Medieval-styled archway where was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.Extract 2 Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising.This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, or by fitting wood paneling over them.As wood paneling can be secured over almost anyting---including oid ceramic tiles and chipped walls---is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration.The paneling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.Extract 3 Cooking takes second place in this charming room which, with its deep armchairs, is more of a sitting room than a kitohen, and th6 ntw RaybUm stove as a good choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace.There are no fitted units or built-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farmbouse table in the foreground;and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display.What about the kitchen sink? It's hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery.Here there's a second cooker and---in the best farmhouse tradition---a huge walk-in larder for all food storage.2l.Why is the colour of the carpet described in Extract l a particular advantage?(A)It livens up the colour in an otherwise dull room.(B)It provides a contrast to the furniture.(C)It blends in with the tones of the furniture.(D)It gives the room a classical style.22.What is the purpose of the archway described in Extract 1 ?(A)To hide an unattractive fireplace.(B)To give the room an exotic eastem style.(C)To join the dining room with the sitting room(D)To make room for the unusual seating arrangements.23.Extract 2 is probably taken from ________.(A)an architect's blueprint

(B)a plumber’s manual

(C)a home renovation magazine(D)an advertisement for new bathrooms 24.Extracts 2 and 3 deal with _________.(A)old and classic furniture(B)attractive colour schemes(C)cheap improvement schemes(D)home decoration 25.Compared with Extract l the room described in Extract 3 appears to _______.(A)be more comfortable(B)be more colourful(C)contain more furniture(D)posspss a greater variety of style Questions26--30,.Large parts of the world have not enjoyed the remarkale global progress in health conditions that have taken place over the past century.Indeed, millions of deaths in impoverished nations are avoidable with prevention and treatment

options that the rich world already uses.This year, l0 million children will die in low-and middle-income countries.If child death rates were the same as those in developed countries this figuer would be lower than 1 million.Conversely, if child death rates were those of rich countries just 100 years ago, the figure would be 30 million.Today's tools for improving health are so powerful and inexpensive that health conditions could be reasonably good even in poor countries if policy makers spent even relatively little in the right places.Recent research for the Copeghagen Consensus idenifies several highly cost-effective options that would tackle some of the planet's most urgent health problems.The most promising investment is in tuberculosis treatment.Some 90 percent of the l.6 million tuberculosis deaths in 2003 occurred in low-and middle-income countries.Because tuberculosis affects working-age people, it can be a trigger of household poverty.The comerstone of control is prompt treatment using first-line drugs, which doesn't require a sophisticated health system.Spending $l billion on tuberculosis treatment in a year would save l million lives.Because good health accompanies higher levels of national economic welfare in the long run, the economic benefits are worth $30 billion.The second most cost-effective investment is tackling hewt disease.Heart disease migh not seem like a pressing issue for poor nations, but it represents more than a quarter of their death toll.Measures to reduce risk factors other than smoking--high intake or saturated animal fat, obesity, binge drinking of alcohol, physical inactivity , and low fruit and vegetable consumption--have had little success.Treating acute heart attacks with inexpensive drugs is，however, cost-effective.Spending $200 million could avert several hundred thousand deaths, yielding benefits that are 25 times higher than costs.The third option is prevention and treatment of malaria.A billion dollars would expand the provision of insecticide-treated bed-nets and facilitate provision of highly effective treatment.This would save more than a million child deaths and produce economic benefits worth $20 billion.The fourth altermative for policymakers is to focus on child health initiatives.The best measures are familiar ones expanding immunization coverage, promoting breasfeeding, increasing the use of simple and cheap treatments for diarrhea and childhood pneumonia, and so on.Even if the costs of all these initiatives were two or three times higher than we estimate, these efforts would still provide amazing opportunities to reduce health inequality and do good in the world.26.Over the past century, the child death rates hatve _________.(A)climbed steadily in impoverished countries(B)dropped remarkably in developed countries(C)fluctuated wildly in low-incoine countries(D)remained stable in middle-income countries 27.The most effective investment is in the treatment for ________.(A)tuberculosis

(B)heart disease(C)malaria(D)diarrhea 28.All of the following could be the contributing factors to heart disease EXCETP________.(A)heavy smoking(B)binge drinking(C)saturated animal fat intake(D)vegetable consumption 29.According to the author, if $ l billion were invested in the prevention and treatment of heart discase, whih of the following economic benefits would be produced?(A)$20 billion.学口译，做金领！迎战9月口译考试 2009年春季“上海外语口译”笔试查分公告 中高级口译备考必看的历年真题免费下载

(B)$25 billion.(C)$30 billion.(D)$35 billion.30.What would be the best title for this passage ?(A)Best Options for Tackling World’s Killer Diseases.(B)Cost-effective Investment in Impoverished Nations.(C)Health Inequality between Developed and Developing Countries.(D)Earth’s Killer Diseases: Tuberculosis, HeartAttak and Malaria...SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST(1)(30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corrsponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.In a normal recession, the to-do list is clear.Copies of Keynes are dusted off, the Fed lowers interest rates, the president and Congress cut taxes and hike spending.In time, purchasing, production and loans perk up, and Keynes is placed back on the shelf.No larger alterations to the economy are made, because our economy, but for the occasional bump in the road, is fundamentally sound.This has been the drill in every recession since World War II.Republicans and Democrats argue over whose taxes should be cut the most and which projects should be funded, but under public pressure to do something，they usually find some mutually acceptable midpoint and enact a stimulus package.Even in today's hyperpartisan Washington, the odds still favor such a deal.This time, though, don’t expect that to be the end of the story-----because the coming recession will not be normal, and our economy is not fundamentally sound.This time around, the nation will have to craft new versions of some of the reforms that Franklin Roosevelt created to steer the nation out of the Great Depression.SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST(2)(30 minutes)Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.钟表上的秒针一下一下地移动，每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。再看看墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历，每天撕下一张就是表示我们的寿命又缩短了一天。因为时间即生命。

没有人不爱惜他的生命，但很少人珍视他的时间。如果想在有生之年做一点什么事，学一点什么学问，充实自己，帮助别人，使生命成为有意义，不虚此生，那么就不可浪费光阴。这个道理人人都懂，可是很少人能积极不懈地善为利用他的时间。

You might think that hamburgers were invented in the United States, but that is not totally true.These round, flat cakes or patties actually came from Germany in the middle of the 19th century.They were brought to the United

States by German immigrants who came from the city of Hamburg.That is why their name was Hamburger Stake.However, people in other places claim that they invented the hamburger.Perhaps we'll never have a clear answer.But there is no question that the hamburger was a great hit.Why? Perhaps because at that time, industry was growing and a kind of fast, practical and cheap food was needed for workers.The hamburger became even more popular in the 1920s when the first chain of fast food restaurants was started.This chain was called ”White Castle“.It served tiny hamburgers that were sold for only 5 cents each.Then, in the 1930s there came the drive-in restaurant where customers were served in their cars by waiters in uniform.And the hamburger was one of the most popular menu items.By now, the hamburger was ready to conquer the world.And this happened with McDonald's, which was actually a hot dog stand at first.But by the early 1950s the hot dog was replaced by the hamburger.McDonald's and other fast food restaurants spring up around the world throughout the rest of the 20th century.McDonald's alone has sold 12 hamburgers for every person in the world.The importance of the hamburger to U.S.culture remains significant.About 60% of all sandwiches that are eaten are hamburgers.According to some sources, 7% of current workers in the Untied States had their first job at McDonald's.But the face of the hamburger is changing according to the times.Nowadays it is possible to buy a chicken burger, a turkey burger, a fish burger or a veggie burger.Statements

1.Mrs.Jones came to us at the airport.We thought she was the secretary but she turned out to be the president of the company.2.After Susan carefully explained her ideas at the board meeting last week, the directors all voted for the change she's made concerning the proposed project.3.Of the students participating in our university's research project, 73% classified themselves as freshmen and sophomores.4.Originally we had planned to buy a car by the end of last year, but then with the recent fluctuation of the crude oil prices we decided to postpone the purchase.5.Most people I know are interested in the proposed tax reform being debated in the congress because they hope it will lower taxes for them.6.If you're good at managing your own time and energy, it is very likely that you can do well both in your schoolwork and for your career 7.Mr.Paul White, thank you very much for your inquiry, but I feel the position more suits a female applicant.Anyway, I will keep your name on file.8.Is this your best quote? I thought prices will be coming down now given the current situation of financial and economic crisis.9.Last month our manager took a ten-day business trip to Chicago, but he had to stay there for 3 more days as the negotiation turned out to be a tougher one.10.When our children are made confident that they are positive and competent individuals, they will adapt themselves to the changing society and successfully accomplish personal goals.Talks and Conversations

Passage one(Q11-14)W：What are you laughing about? M: I just saw the silliest advertisement on TV for German soups.It's said our products are home-made with the freshest vegetables and fruits.Then a scene in the factory showed that products were prepared and packed by the most sophisticated machinery.W: And I am sure that the word NATURAL was put on the jars and cans of the products.I think the stupidest advertisements are those that imply that you are one of a kind.If you buy the product, you will be a very special person.Now you will be just like every other one of the 20 million people who bought it.M: That's really silly.But to me, the dumbest of them all is when advertisers put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular brand of soap or about a particular car.I bet that the celebrity's never used the product before they got the job of appearing in the commercial.W: Yeah!But most of these commercials work and people remember the product.M: I agree, here we are talking about ads we've seen, aren't we? We are all influenced by those celebrities and brand names.W: I think teenagers are specially vulnerable.Advertisers try to get teenagers used to a brand because they know that in later years, the teenagers will stick to that particular product of theirs.Question 11: What in the advertisement has made the man laugh? Question 12: When some ads imply that you are one of a kind, what does that mean? Question 13: Why does the advertiser put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular product? Question 14: According to the woman, what will teenagers do if they are used to a brand? Passage two(Q15-18)Many of you may have heard of ”jetlag", which is a condition of sleep disorders resulting from rapid travel over time zones such as on a jet plane.The symptoms of jetlag can be quite varied and may include: loss of appetite, nausea, headache, fatigue, insomnia or even mild depression.Here are few tips for you to avoid jetlag or cope if you are stricken by the condition.First adjust your biological rhythm several days before your departure.And develop a plan

to start switching to the time zone of your destination.For instance, if you will be flying from New York to Paris where it is 6 hours later, get up one hour earlier for a couple of days, then two hours earlier, then three hours earlier.I would try to at least get half way to a new time zone.Turn lights on during daytime in your destination and off during the night time.Second, during the time of your adjustment and especially during the flight, drink plenty of water.If you are not a big water fan, drink some other fluid that is not high in sugar, carbonation or caffeine.Avoid junk food, salty foods, caffeine and alcohol on the plane.Of course I say that, but I always have a couple of drinks during the flight, if you do that, just be sure to drink as much water between drinks as possible.Thirdly, when you arrive in your destination, try to resist the urge to nap during day time, get outside during the daylight hours, even if it's just to sit in a café and relax.Try to get a good night's sleep for the first couple nights.The key is to reset your body's natural clock and to get enough rest.Finally when you return home, use some of the same tactics above to return to your previous time zone.Q15.What's the speaker's definition of jetlag? Q16.What's the difference of the time zones between New York and Paris? Q17.What does the speaker recommend if you do not want to drink much water during the flight? Q18.According to the speaker, what should you try to do once you arrive at the destination? Passage 3(Q19-22)

Passage 4(Q23-26)May I have your attention, ladies and gentlemen? Since the International club meets only once every semester for this special event, the first thing on our agenda is to have the secretary read the minutes of the last meeting.So when I finish this opening speech, the secretary will read the minutes of our meeting for the last semester.And then we'll go through our annual treasurer's report and decide whether it can be accepted or not.At the top of our agenda, and I'm sure in everyone's mind, is the International Display Week.It has been proposed for discussion.I was chairman of the African club, and now as chairman of the International club, I know more than anyone else the importance of such a display week.Let me explain.There are ten foreign clubs here representing the foreign students on our campus.The purpose of these clubs is, first of all, to get the students from the same countries together, so we won't get too homesick, and so we can help each other over the rough spots.And secondly, so that the American students can join the club of their interest and learn about our culture as we learn theirs.Now, about the display.Some of you old hands will have to help me out, as there was so much going on I can't remember at all.Let me see.There are the Scottish folk dance and Irish one, too.We'll team up with the folk music club and recruit anyone who can sew to help make costumes.Of course, each group will set up a booth decorated with pictures and things of interest in their respective countries, and everyone will wear his national costume.Question 23: Who is the man?

Question 24: How often is the meeting held?

Question 25: What is at the top of the meeting's agenda?

Question 26: What is the purpose of organizing foreign clubs on campus?

M: Yes, I like it.Because we are a real community.We've got comfortable common rooms and bars.We arrange dances and parties.We've got clubs, theater groups, choirs and so on.And we've got an orchestra.I played the drums in it.By the way, how about your university days, Betty?

F: I rent a house with two other girls in the middle of the city about then minutes walk from the university.The house is falling to pieces.It is damp and there is no proper heating.M: That sounds awful.I couldn't work in a place like yours.The district is poor and could almost be classed as a slum.F: I don't think so.We live among real people who treat us as real people.We've got an electrician living next door, who is always coming in and mending our cooker and electric fires.We could try to get into one of the halls of the residents.But we prefer to be independent.It's nice to belong to the city and to do things outside the university.M: What sort of things do you do outside the university? M: Well, there is a group of us who go and help in a home for handicapped children.And I think in the city bar choir we get on well with the local people, not like you in that suburban district.W: Well, I like history.And my university is one of the best universities for that subject.Besides, it is an ancient city with a lot of historical relics and sightseeing spots.If you can drop by by any chance, I can show you around.F: You bet.27.Where do the man's family live? 28.What is typical of the American Campus System?

to win clients to make influential contacts to discuss and settle internal disagreements and even to interview potential employees.Some companies always conduct job interviews over lunch.A business lunch usually lasts from one to two and half hours and it often takes place at a restaurant with a pleasant, quiet atmosphere conducive to private discussions.2.As the world population becomes denser, we will feel greater pressure from the expanding number of people.Some experts argue that we are approaching the limit of the number of people the earth can support adequately and they feel we should turn to compulsory birth control.Other authorities feel that if birth control is imposed on the population, the future of mankind will be seriously endangered.They think intelligent people will be more likely to have fewer children, which would bring about a lowering of the level of intelligence.Spot Dictation

平常的经济萧条一旦来临，大家都明确应该马上着手做哪些事情：重新翻开尘封已久的凯恩斯的著作，联邦政府调低利息率，总统和国会开始减税，增加财政支出。用不了多久，市场上购销两旺，生产线生机勃勃，贷款扶摇而上，于是乎，凯恩斯的书又回了书架。不需要对经济体制做重大的改革，要知道我们的经济固然偶尔会有一点磕磕碰碰，从根本上说还是健康的。第二次世界大战以后，每次萧条一来，我们都这样如法炮制。

关于哪个阶层应该减税最多，哪些计划可以得到政府资金援助，共和党人和民主党人一直都争论不休。不过，公众舆论自然会要求他们有所作为，因此他们也往往能找到双方都可接受的中间路线，共同推动一个经济刺激的一揽子计划。就算在今天的华盛顿，两党意见空前分歧，我们依然相信，两党都能接受的计划最终一定会出台。然而这次，我们不能指望事情就能就此了结--因为这一次到来的萧条非比寻常，我们的经济从根本上说也已经不健康。这一

Section 4

Our life is shortened by every tick of the second hand of the clock.Each page peeled away from the wall calendar marks a bygone day.Time is life, while life is cherished by everybody, but time, by few.How can we achieve something in our brief life? To learn some knowledge!To replenish ourselves!To help those in need!To add significance to our life!Time should not be squandered if we want to make our life meaningful(to get a lot out of our life).This principle is accepted by all, but wisely observed by very few.

第四篇：2012年工商银行考试真题回忆

2012年工商银行考试真题（回忆版）

今年考题全部是选择题，机上考试，红色部分为选项答案。考试一共175分钟，英语60分钟，综合知识60分钟，行测30分种，个人兴趣25分钟

英语题好多，我做到75题的样子时间就到了，系统直接转入了下一个环节，所以我也不知道英语到底有多少道题，听说100道，应该先选完题再说，没做完后悔死了，不过难度在4级以下，很简单。60到单项选择题，考到了due to词组,skilled做后置形容词，生词很少；3篇完形填空，很短，每篇就3个空的样子，剩下的是阅读，我做了有4、5篇吧，每篇3道题左右

个人兴趣环节每题有两个选项，不用思考，凭直觉做就可以了，比如：

1：A、我很容易生气 B、我工作速度很慢

2：A、我总是坚持工作，结束前从不放弃 B、我喜欢细致型工作

很多题是把选项是重复的组合一起，有90道，时间是25分

综合知识涵盖面有些广，包括言语理解、图形及数字推理、逻辑推理、资料分析等，一部分是工行的新闻，动态：

1、8月5日该行又与南非标准银行集团就阿根廷标准银行股权买卖交易达成协议收购阿根廷标准银行80%的股权，将使工商银行获得阿根廷商业银行牌照，成为第一家进入当地市场的中资金融机构，战略意义突出。，2、印度金融中心：孟买

3、上半年跨境人民币业务量达4060亿元，是去年全年的3倍4、2011年上半年工商银行实现税后利润1096亿元人民币，同比增长29%；

5、不良贷款余额和不良贷款率连续11年保持双下降，不良率降至1.08%

6、工行的使命：提供卓越金融服务（企业文化要看看）

7、工行的获奖情况

有一部分是选择形容词填空：

1、比如连小孩子都知道吸烟的坏处，---大人呢？

A何况 B、况且

2、考察：“龙盘虎踞”的意思
