第一篇:中级口译笔试部分练习8篇
Passage 1
I think Chinese businesspeople tend to have business negotiations in a rather indirect manner,as opposed to the more direct style of American businesspeople,who are said to work with the “get-down-to-business-first” mentality.The Chinese-type management encourages cooperation among employees,between the labor and the management,and gives employees a joy of participation and fulfillment,as well as a sense of pride in their work.And most Chinese try to find the meaning of life through working in their jobs,and view work as essential for having membership in a community.The American-type,or the top-down,management emphasizes efficiency,and competition among workers.The American work ethic seems to be more individual oriented.Traditionally,Americans work because it is the will of God,and often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.我认为中国人在商务谈判时倾向于使用一种迂回婉转的方式,而那些被认为在工作时具有一 种“公务为先”的心态的美国人则往往表现出较为直截了当的作风。中国式的管理方式鼓励员工之间的合作,也鼓励普通员工和管理人员之间的合作,使员工有一种喜悦的参与感和成就感,使他们对自己的工作产生一种自豪感。大多数中国人想从工作中找到生活的意义,他们将工作视为成为团体中一份子的必不可缺的条件。美国式的自下而上的管理方式注重效率,注重员工之间的竞争。美国人的工作观有较强的个体取向性。美国人一直认为,工作是秉承了上帝的意志,对工作成果的重视常常高于对工作过程的重视。
Passage 2
In the short period of six days,we have gone a longer distance than the world-renowned “Long March”。We have acquired a keen sense of the diversity,dynamism,and progress of China under your policies of reform and opening to the outside world.My wife and I have a special regard and personal friendship for the people of China.Beijing is for us an old and nostalgic home.During our stay here ten years ago we spent a great deal of memorable time with the people here——working,shopping,sightseeing,and touring the city on our bicycles.Those were happy days.They were good days,important days.We were part of the dramatic process which brought us back together and set us on the road to a genuine friendly and cooperative relationship.Nonetheless,problems remain in our economic,education and strategic relations.While we are not so naive as to believe that there are no issues of difference between us,I also believe that our differences are greatly overshadowed by issues which bind us and strengthen our relationship.在短暂的六天里,我们的行程超过了举世闻名的“长征”。在改革开放政策引导下的中国,气象万千,充满活力,不断进步,这些我们都已强烈的感受到了。我和我夫人对中国人民怀有一种特殊的敬慕之情和个人友谊。对我们两人来说,北京是我们思念的故乡。十年前我们在此生活期间,我们与这里的人们一起度过了许多难忘的时光—— 我们在这里工作、购物、观光、骑自行车逛城。那是一些令人愉快的日子,一些美好的日子,一些意义重大的日子。我们参与了富有戏剧性的转变过程,这种转变使我们重新走到一起,使我们踏上了一条通往建立一种真诚友好的合作关系的道路。然而,我们在经济、教育以及战略关系中仍然存在着问题。一方面,我们不会天真的以为我们之间不存在分歧,另一方面,我也认为那些将我们联系在一起并且强化我们关系的事务,在很大程度上弱化了我们之间的差异。
Passage 3
The Washington National Cathedral is one of the largest and most famous religious centers in the United States.It belongs to the Episcopal Church.The official name of the building id the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul.The National Cathedral was built with money from private citizens.The work started in 1907,and the Cathedral was not completely finished until 1990.The first stone was laid in the presence of President Theodore Roosevelt.Every President of the United States since then has attended services or visited the Cathedral.It looks like many of the great religious centers built in Europe about 800 years ago.The building is shaped like a cross or the letter T.in the center is a bell tower 91 meters high.Two more towers stand at the bottom of the cross.Two hundred windows are set high in the walls of the National Cathedral.Most are made of many pieces of colored glass.They color the sunlight as it enters the building and spills across the floor.Some windows have flower designs.Others have images from Christian stories or from American heroes.华盛顿国家大教堂是美国规模最大、最负盛名的宗教中心之一,隶属主教派教会。该建筑的正式名称是圣彼得和圣保罗大教堂。国家大教堂是由私人赞助建造起来的。工程开始于1907年,直到1990年才完全竣工。奠基石是当着当时西奥多。罗斯福总统的面放置的。从那以后的每一任美国总统都参加过这里举行的宗教礼仪活动,或参观过大教堂。大教堂看起来像欧洲许多建于800年前的宗教大中心,形状像个“十”字,或像字母T,中间耸立了一座高达91 米的钟楼,另外两座塔楼坐落在十字形底部。200扇窗户高高的嵌在国家大教堂的墙上。大多数窗都由多块彩色玻璃拼成,射入建筑内的阳光被彩色玻璃染得五彩缤纷,洒落在大教堂一侧的地坪上,有些窗户有花卉图案,有些窗的画面则是一些有关基督教的故事或美国历史英雄的形象。Passage 4
Innovation starts at the top,and it is important for leaders to create an environment where innovation is constant,where people have the skills and incentives to think creatively.In doing so,you attract talents that want to contribute to that environment,creating a virtuous cycle for the company.Shanghai’s leadership has worked hard to create an environment where businesses can succeed.For example,Shanghai’s transportation links to the world,including Pudong International Airport and the new deep water port facility,have achieved world-class status We live in an era where innovation is central to economic growth and prosperity.It is comfortable to hold onto the old ways of doing business.But innovation is hard because it usually leads to change.Innovation requires new ideas,new processes,and new institutions.New technologies and approaches can radically change an existing market,creating new customers and competitions.But innovation and its accompanying disruption can be managed through good leadership,a long term strategy,and good people.President Hu Jintao stated at the beginning of this year that “Innovation is the core of the nation’s competitiveness.”
创新从领导层开始做起。领导层必须营造一个可以不断创新的环境,以激励人们的创新思维。这样的环境可以吸引那些乐于创新的人才,从而使公司得到良性发展。上海的领导努力为企业营造可取得成功的环境。例如,浦东国际机场和新的深水港等设施的建立,使上海与世界的交通连接达到了世界级的水平。我们生活在一个以创新驱动经济发展和繁荣的时代。墨守成规确实舒服惬意,而改革创新则困难重重,因为创新往往引发变革。创新需要新思想,新程序和新机制。新技术和新方法会剧烈的改变现行的市场秩序,既带来新的公司客户,也带来新的竞争对手,但是,如果我们有英明的领导,长期的战略以及优秀的人才,创新活动及其所伴随的冲击是可控的。******主席在年初时曾说过:“创新是国家的核心竞争力。”
Passage 5
What will the role of universities be in this globalized economy? How will they contribute to improving society through innovation that will improve the quality of life and support economic growth? How will they prepare their graduates who will extract the best and explore the greatest in this increasingly complex society? It is important to remember that undergraduate education and post-graduate education are tightly linked to research.Our education programs should ensure that the students are learning in an atmosphere characterized by the pursuit of new knowledge and process of discovery.An interrelated educational program will create a flow of young,bright and uninhibitedminds to work on the frontier of discovery.The fundamental mission of a university is the creation of new knowledge which sometimes has immediate practical applications.But that can never be the only goal.And making it a primary goal will frequently be short-sighted.Basic contributions to knowledge should be valued for being exactly that.Our university has an almost unique role in fostering such contribution.Choosing the right people is the first and perhaps the most crucial step in ensuring an innovative environment.There are three types of people that can be important.The first class of individuals consists of fanciful visionaries.The second class of important people in innovative environment consists of revolutionary explorers.The third class of individuals consists of uninhibited executors.在这个经济全球化的时代背景下,大学将扮演怎样的角色呢?大学将如何通过旨在提高生活质量、推动经济发展的创新活动进而推动社会的进步呢?在这个日新月异、充满变数的社会,大学又将如何培养那些善于取精用弘的学生呢?我们应该认识到,本科生教育和研究生教育都与研究紧密相连。我们的教育应该为学生创造一种可以探寻新知识、带来新发现的氛围,将教学与研究融合在一起的教育可以培养一批活跃在探索前沿、聪颖开放的青年才俊。大学最根本的使命就是创造新知识,虽然大学所创造的新知识有时会立即产生实际应用价值,但这决不是大学所追求的唯一目标。将获取实际应用价值的目标定位大学的主要目标是一种短视行为。基础研究也同样是大学的使命,而且大学在推动基础研究方面能发挥独特的作用。选对人是确保创新型研究环境的首要因素,也是最为关键的因素。选人要选三种人:第一种人是想法活跃的思想家,第二种人是富有革命精神的探索家,第三种人是不受常规约束的实干家。Passage 6
中国国际出版集团是中国最大的、最权威的外语出版发行单位,其前身是中央人民政府新闻出版署国际新闻局。我集团坚持“让中国走向世界,让世界了解中国”的出版原则,全心致力于中国外语教育与研究事业的发展,全心致力于中外文化交流事业的拓展。为了加强对出版人才队伍的建设,为了满足日益增长的特殊出版业务的需要,我集团每年都要选派一些青年员工到国内外知名高等学府和研究机构进修,根据我们的发展战略,我们会将前进的步伐迈出国界走向世界,瞄准海外读者群,这一战略已取得了良好的开局。
The China International Publishing Group is the largest and the most authoritativeforeign language publishing and distribution establishment,its predecessor being the International Press Bureau of the Central People’s Government Press and Publication Administration.Adhering to the publishing philosophy of “assisting China’s march to the world and facilitating world’s understanding of China”,the Group commits itself entirely to promoting foreign language education and research in China and advancing cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries.In order to build up a strong team of publishing staff,as well as to meet the growing need of more technically demanding business,the Group makes it a rule that young staff be selected and sent to noted universities and research institutions,both domestic and overseas,for further studies.As is clearly spelled out in our new development strategy,we will go beyond our national boundaries and wedge ourselves into the world circulation market,aiming at the international readership.Our initial efforts have been very rewarding.Passage 7
改革开放30 年来,随着中国逐渐崛起成为政治经济强国,海外人士学习汉语的现象与日俱增,海外孔子学院也成了人们学习中国语言和中国文化的首选之地。通过学习汉语,他们对这个和自己文化大相径庭的古老文明产生了浓厚的兴趣,而且有机会了解中国的哲学、艺术、医学、饮食文化,亲身体验这个文明古国的风采。作为第二文化,中国文化也丰富了他们的生活和世界观。可以说,这个潮流方兴未艾。越来越多的学习汉语的美国人除了对中国菜肴赞不绝口之外,也在尝试针灸,草药和武术。他们也看功夫电影,学习东方时装潮流和手工艺,不知不觉的在日常生活中谈及中国的点心,人参、银杏,乌龙茶等。目前在美国最热门的中国文化是道家学说和有着神秘色彩的风水学.As China is rising as a political and economic world power,thanks to its three-decade reform and opening up,more and more people in overseas countries start to learn Chinese and turn to a Confucius Institute in their own countries as their first choice learning Chinese language and Chinese culture.During the learning process,the learners concurrently develop their interest in this ancient land,whose civilization is so vastly different from theirs.And the learners have opportunities to learn about Chinese philosophy,art,architecture,medicine and catering culture and experience first-hand the splendors of this venerablecivilization.As the second culture,Chinese culture has enriched the life and world outlook of the learners.This trend,so to speak,is gathering momentum and is there to stay.Apart from their love for Chinese cuisine,more and more American learners of Chinese language are turning to Chinese acupuncture,herbal medicines,martial arts.They are also interested in kongfu films,fashions and crafts.Seemingly outlandishwords such as dim sum,ginseng,gingko,oolongcha have crept into their everyday language.The latest Chinese cultural icons to make its impact there are Taoism,and ancient school of thought,and fengshui,an ancient art of placement.Passage 8
过去10年,海平面升高和森林砍伐的速度都是前所未有的;生态恶化、物种灭绝、臭氧层被破坏、温室效应、酸雨等一系列环境问题已经严重影响到人类的生存环境。环境恶化造成的问题之一就是缺水。目前全世界40%以上的人口,即20 多亿人,面临缺水问题。据预测,未来25 年全球人口将由60 亿增长到80 亿,环境保护面临更大的压力。中国作为一个发展中国家,面临着发展经济和保护环境的双重任务。从国情出发,中国在全面推进现代化的过程中,将环境保护视为一项基本国策。众所周知,对生态环境和生物多样性的保护是环保工作的重点。我国野生动植物物种丰富,仅脊椎动物就有6000 多种左右,高等植物3 万多种。
Sea level rose and forest were destroyed at an unprecedented rate during the last decade.A series of environmental problems such as the deterioration of ecosystem,the extinction of bio-species,damage to the ozone layer,the green-house effect,acid rain,have posed a serious threat to human living conditions.Environmental crisis leads to one of the serious problems,namely,water shortage.Presently,more than 40% of the world’s population,more than 2 billion people,now face water shortage.It is predicted that with the global population expected to increase from six billion to eight billion over the next 25 years,more pressure on environmental protection stress is expected.As a developing country,China is confronted with the dual task of developing the economy and protecting the environment.Proceeding from its national conditions,China has,in the process of promoting its overall modernization program,made environmental protection one of its basic state policies.It is known to all that protection of the ecological environment and biodiversity is the focal point of environmental protection work.China is rich in wildlife species.There are about 6,000 vertebrates alone and 30,000 species of higher plants.
第二篇:2011年上海中级口译笔试试题及部分答案
2011年上海中级口译笔试试题及部分答案
Questions 1—5 The purpose of the American court system is to protect the rights of the people.According to American law,if someone is accused of a crime,he or she is considered innocent until the court proves that the person is guilty.In other words,it is the responsibility of the court to prove that a person is guilty.It is not the responsibility of the person to prove that he or she is innocent.In order to arrest a person,the police have to be reasonably sure that a crime has been committed.The police must give the suspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law.Then the police take the suspect to the police station to “book” him.“Booking means that the name of the person and the charges against him are formally listed at the police station.The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge.The judge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released.If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to court rather than run away—for example,because he owns a house and has a family—he can go free.Otherwise,the suspect must put up bail.At this time,too,the judge will appoint a court layer to defend the suspect if he can’t afford one.The suspect returns to court a week or two later.A lawyer from the district attorney’s office presents a case against the suspect.This is called a hearing.The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses.The judge at the hearing then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial.If the judge decides that there is sufficient evidence to call for a trial,he or she sets a date for the suspect to appear in court to formally plead guilty or not guilty.At the trial,a jury of 12 people listens to the evidence from both attorneys and hears the testimony of the witnesses.Then the jury goes into a private room to consider the evidence and decide whether the defendant is guilty of the crime.If the jury decides that the defendant is innocent,he goes free.However,if he is convicted,the judge sets a date for the defendant to appear in court again for sentencing.At this time,the judge tells the convicted person what his punishment will be.The judge may sentence him to prison,order him to pay a fine,or place him on probation.The American justice system is very complex and sometimes operates slowly.However,every step is designed to protect the rights of the people.These individual rights are the basis,or foundation,of the American government.1.What is the main idea of the passage?
(A)The American court system requires that a suspect prove that he or she is innocent.(B)The US court system is designed to protect the rights of the people.(C)Under the American court system,judge decides if a suspect is innocent or guilty.(D)The US court system is designed to help the police present a case against the suspect.2.What follows ‘in other words’(para.1)?(A)An example of the previous sentence.(B)A new idea about the court system.(C)An item of evidence to call for a trial.(D)A restatement of the previous sentence.3.According to the passage,‘he can go free’(para.3)means _________.(A)the suspect is free to choose a lawyer to defend him(B)the suspect does not have to go to trial because the judge has decided he is innocent(C)the suspect will be informed by mail whether he is innocent or not(D)the suspect does not have to wait in jail or pay money until he goes to trial 4.What is the purpose of having the suspect pay bail?(A)To pay for the judge and the trial.(B)To pay for a court lawyer to defend the suspect.(C)To ensure that the suspect will return to court.(D)To ensure that the suspect will appear in prison.5.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?
(A)The American justice system sometimes operates slowly.(B)The police can arrest a suspect without giving any reasons.(C)It is the responsibility of the suspect to prove he is innocent.(D)The jury considers the evidence in the court room.Questions 6—10
So you’ve got an invention—you and around 39,000 others each year,according to 2002 statistics!
The 64,000-dollar question,if you have come up with a device which you believe to be the answer to the energy crisis or you’ve invented a lawnmower which cuts grass with a jet of water(not so daft,someone has invented one),is how to ensure you’re the one to reap the rewards of your ingenuity.How will all you garden shed boffins out there keep others from capitalizing on your ideas and lining their pockets at your expense?
One of the first steps to protect your interest is to patent your invention.That can keep it out of the grasp of the pirates for at least the next 20 years.And for this reason inventors in their droves beat a constant trail from all over the country to the doors of an anonymous grey-fronted building just behind London’s Holborn to try and patent their devices.The first ‘letters patent’ were granted as long ago as 1449 to a Flemish craftsman by the name of John Utynam.The letters,written in Latin,are still on file at the office.They were granted by King Henry VI and entitled Utynam to ‘import into this country’ his knowledge of making stained glass windows in order to install such windows at Eton College.Present-day patents procedure is a more sophisticated affair than getting a go-ahead note from the monarch.These days the strict procedures governing whether you get a patent for your revolutionary mouse-trap or solar-powered back-scratcher have been reduced to a pretty exact science.From start to finish it will take around two and a half years and cost £165 for the inventor to gain patent protection for his brainchild.That’s if he’s lucky.By no means all who apply to the Patent Office,which is a branch of the Department of Trade,get a patent.A key man at the Patent Office is Bernard Partridge,Principal Examiner(Administration),who boils down to one word the vital ingredient any inventor needs before he can hope to overcome the many hurdles in the complex procedure of obtaining a patent—‘ingenuity’。6.People take out a patent because they want to __________.(A)keep their ideas from being stolen(B)reap the rewards of somebody else’s ingenuity(C)visit the patent office building(D)come up with more new devices 7.The phrase ‘the brain-children of inventors’(para.5)means _________.(A)the children with high intelligence(B)the inventions that people come up with(C)a device that a child believes to be the answer to the energy crisis(D)a lawnmower that an individual has invented to cut grass 8.What have the 1600’s machine gun and the present-day laser in common?
(A)Both were approved by the monarch.(B)Both were granted by King Henry VI.(C)Both were rejected by the Department of Trade.(D)Both were patented.9.Why is John Utynam still remembered?
(A)He is the first person to get a patent for his revolutionary mouse-trap.(B)He is the first person to be granted an official patent.(C)He is the first person to be an officer in the Patent Office.(D)He is the first person to have invented a lawnmower.10.According to the passage,how would you describe the complex procedure of obtaining a patent for an invention?(A)It is rather expensive.(B)It is an impossible task.(C)It is extremely difficult.(D)It is very tricky.Questions 11—15
All living cells on earth require moisture for their metabolism.Cereal grains when brought in from the field,although they may appear to be dry,may contain 20 per cent of moisture or more.If they are stored in a bin thus,there is sufficient moisture in them to support several varieties of insects.These insects will,therefore,live and breed and,as they grow and eat the grain,it provides them with biological energy for their life processes.This energy will,just as in man,become manifest as heat.Since the bulk of the grain acts as an insulator,the temperature surrounding the colony of insects will rise so that,not only is part of the grain spoiled by the direct attack of the insects but more may be damaged by the heat.Sometimes,the temperature may even rise to the point where the stored grain catches fire.For safe storage,grain must be dried until its moisture content is 13 per cent or less.Traditional arts of food preservation took advantage of this principle in a number of ways.The plant seeds,wheat,rye,rice,barley millet,maize,are themselves structures evolved by nature to provi-56We are moving inexorably into the age of automation.Our aim is not to devise a mechanism which can perform a thousand different actions of any individual man but,on the contrary,one which could by a single action replace a thousand men.Industrial automation has moved along three lines.First there is the conveyor belt system of continuous production whereby separate operations are linked into a single sequence.The goods produced by this well-established method are untouched by the worker,and the machine replaces both unskilled and semiskilled.Secondly,there is automation with feedback control of the quality of the product: here mechanisms are built into the system which can compare the output with a norm,that is,the actual product with what it is supposed to be,and then correct any shortcomings.The entire cycle of operations dispenses with human control except in so far as monitors are concerned.One or two examples of this type of automation will illustrate its immense possibilities.There is a factory in the U.S.A.which makes 1,000 million electric light bulbs a year,and the factory employs three hundred people.If the preautomation techniques were to be employed,the labour force required would leap to 25,000.A motor manufacturing company with 45,000 spare parts regulates their entire supply entirely by computer.Computers can be entrusted with most of the supervision of industrial installations,such as chemical plants or oil refineries.Thirdly,there is computer automation,for banks,accounting departments,insurance companies and the like.Here the essential features are the recording,storing,sorting and retrieval of information.The principal merit of modern computing machines is the achievement of their vastly greater speed of operation by comparison with unaided human effort;a task which otherwise might take years,if attempted at all,now takes days or hours.One of the most urgent problems of industrial societies rapidly introducing automation is how to fill the time that will be made free by the machines which will take over the tasks of the workers.The question is not simply of filling empty time but also of utilizing the surplus human energy that will be released.We are already seeing straws in the wind: destructive outbursts on the part of youth whose work no longer demands muscular strength.While automation will undoubtedly do away with a large number of tedious jobs,are we sure that it will not put others which are equally tedious in their place? For an enormous amount of sheer monitoring will be required.A man in an automated plant may have to sit for hours on and watching dials and taking decisive action when some signal informs him that all is not well.What meaning will his occupation bear for the worker? How will he devote his free time after a four or five hour stint of labor? Moreover,what,indeed,will be the significance for him of his leisure? If industry of the future could be purged of its monotony and meaninglessness,man would then be better equipped to use his leisure time constructively.16.The main purpose of automation is _________.(A)to devise the machine which could replace the semi-skilled(B)to process information as fast as possible(C)to develop an efficient labor-saving mechanism(D)to make an individual man perform many different actions 17.The chief benefit of computing machines is ________.(A)their greater speed of operation(B)their control of the product quality(C)their conveyor belt system of continuous production(D)their supervision of industrial installations 18.One of the problems brought about by automation in industrial societies is _________.(A)plenty of information(B)surplus human energy(C)destructive outbursts(D)less leisure time 19.Which of the following best explains the use of ‘stint’(para.4)?
(A)Effort.(B)Force.(C)Excess.(D)Period.20.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?
(A)There is no automation with feedback control of the quality of the product.(B)Computers are reliable in any supervision of industrial installations.(C)The essential features for banks are the recording and sorting of information.(D)Automation will undoubtedly eliminate numerous tedious jobs.Questions 21—25
The city water pipes in Rome were usually of baked clay or lead;copper was sometimes used and also hollowed stone.For the large supply conduits leading to the city the Romans used covered channels with free water surfaces,rather than pipes.Perhaps this choice was a matter of economics,for apparently they could make lead pipes up to 15 inches in diameter.While pipes can follow the profile of undulating ground,with the pressure increasing in the lower areas,channels cannot.They must slope continuously downwards,because water in channels does not normally flow uphill;and the grade must be flat,from 1 in 60 in small channels to perhaps 1 in 3,000 in large ones,to keep the water speed down to a few feet per second.Thus the main supply channels or aqueducts had long lengths of flat grade and where they crossed depressions or valleys they were carried on elevated stone bridges in the form of tiered arches.At the beginning of the Christian era there were over 30 miles of these raised aqueducts in the 250 miles of channels and tunnels bringing water to Rome.The channels were up to 6 feet wide and 5 to 8 feet high.Sometimes channels were later added on the tops of existing ones.The remains of some of these aqueducts still grace the skyline on the outskirts of Rome and elsewhere in Europe similar ruins are found.Brick and stone drains were constructed in various parts of Rome.The oldest existing one is the Cloaca Maxima which follows the course of an old stream.It dates back at least to the third century B.C.Late-101112(A)People believed that spacecraft would be destroyed in a black hole.(B)People believed that spacecraft would be misguided by missiles.(C)People believed that spacecraft would be collided with a star.(D)People believed that spacecraft would be damaged by meteorites.29.What is the greatest danger to life on Earth?(A)Collision with small high-speed missiles.(B)Collision with an astronomical body.(C)Collision with stones from the sky.(D)Collision with spacecrafts.30.According to the passage,which of the following statements is true?
(A)Our galaxy contains great interstellar dust clouds.(B)Near misses of bodies smaller than our own planet could be disastrous.(C)The probability of collision with a large astronomical body is very high.(D)The chances of anyone actually being hit by missiles are very high.SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST(30 minutes)

第三篇:中级口译笔试复习方法
译考试的脚步越来越近了,考前两周的时间里,准备考试的你到底应该准备些什么呢?如果之前还没有开始好好复习,那从现在开始临阵磨枪吧!不到最后关头,绝不浪费任何复习机会!1.首先做一整套真题。
有很多同学复习的时候会选择分部分进行练习,这并不是不可取,但冲刺阶段,建议大家至少留两套完整真题。第一套在考前一个月左右做,另一套在考前三天到一周左右的时间做。在这之前,大家通过上课、做练习已经对自己的薄弱环节有一定的了解了,那么经过一段时间的积累,现在进展如何了呢?做这一套真题,帮你了解前一阶段的学习成果,细致定位薄弱环节:比如之前知道自己听力部分是弱项,经过一段时间的努力,Spot Dictation 错误率降低了,选择题基本没什么大问题了,句子听译也有明显的改善„„那么接下来就要研究一下错题,比如看一下Spot Dictation是因为单词听不清、不会拼而扣分还是因为跟不上而扣分。花相对多的时间在失误多的地方,不要盲目做真题、模拟题。此外,这个时候做完整的真题,要尽量掐好时间,以便在后面几周的复习中,针对性地加快做题速度。
2.弱项重点击破。
对自己的薄弱环节有了更清晰的认识之后,下一步当然是要针对性地突击了。上面也提到了,花相对多的时间在薄弱环节上,并不是说其他部分就可以放心不练了。手边有模拟题的同学,这段时间可以每天或者每两天做一套真题,然后针对薄弱环节着重练习。练习材料可以是教材,也可以是模拟题分项训练。总之,每天每部分都要练习到,薄弱部分多练一遍,坚持下去。
3.整理错题及知识点。
做了大量的练习,不进行错题整理以及笔记复习是万万不行的。练到后来可能速度是上去了,但正确率却迟迟上不去。所以,不论是平时练习还是考前冲刺,整理环节是必不可少的。错题整理一般包括单词和知识点的整理。Spot Dictation 以及听译部分的生词以及词组必整理,阅读理解部分感觉常出现但老是记不住的单词必整理,翻译部分生词以及重要词组必整理。此外,还需要注意整理一些小技巧,比如Spot Dictation中碰到的单词的连读、弱读,多整理一下其中的规则自然而然会有领悟,还有要注意翻译中用词的对比,比如说“加强”一词,就可以有strengthen, enhance, promote等等多个词与之对应,多积累一些这样的词在汉译英中才能避免用词重复。
4.考前两三天回顾。
这个时候再做一套真题,一是对冲刺阶段的学习成果检查,二是让自己适应考试氛围,所以这次的真题建议可以选择和真正考试相同时间段进行练习,及时调整好状态,积极应考。此外,参加考试必备的准考证、身份证、收音机、耳机、电池、笔等也需要仔细检查,提前做好准备。
