8、 your English summary. This part of the test carries 20 points. You may need to scribble a few notes in order to write your summary satisfactorily.(分数:20.00)_翻译二级口译综合能力-11 答案解析(总分:92.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、Part (总题数:2,分数:16.00)(分数:10.00)(1).Bioinformatics is a new computer software technology that makes re
9、search findings on genetic engineering publicly available to the public.(分数:2.00)A.正确 B.错误解析:解析 Bioinformatics is the name given to the computer software technologies that are being devised to manage information overload. The field includes everything from storage to classification, analysis and dis
10、tribution of gene and protein sequence data. Bioinformatics tools have moved genetic research out of the laboratory and transferred it to computer databases for use by anyone with access to the Internet.分析 定义及细节的理解。通过原文定义可知 bioinformatics 是一种计算机软件技术,其特点之一是“move genetic research out of the laboratory
11、 and transferred it to computer databases for use by anyone with access to the Internet”即“将基因研究搬出实验室,将其转移到计算机数据库,可以让能够上网的任何人使用”,由此可见,题干的说法是正确的。解题关键 1) 掌握英语定义结构特点,即先归类后指出主要特点;2) 掌握词组 with access to 的含义。(2).Imports from Asian countries are more competitive than U.S. home-made products because of lower
12、 wages in Asia and the exemption of duties for imported goods shipped to the United States.(分数:2.00)A.正确B.错误 解析:解析 Foreign laborers, especially Asian ones earning low wages, are pictured as working willingly for American capitalists abroad who pay slightly better than average wages; while the former
13、 learn otherwise inaccessible technology arid produce sophisticated goods that compete with domestic American goods, even allowing for shipping charges and import duties.分析 语义逻辑推理判断。根据原文可知,对于美国海外资本家来说使用外国劳力,尤其是亚洲国家的劳力费用非常低。而这些国家却从此得到先进技术,生产尖端产品。这些产品,即使在增加运费和进口税的水平上仍可与美国国内制造的产品竞争。由此可见海外美国人使用亚洲劳力制造的产品
14、,即使有运费和进口税的压力,仍然可与美国本土制造的产品竞争。显然这与题干中所言进口美国的商品免除税费的说法不相符。因此,题干的说法是错误的。解题关键 掌握短语含义。原文中“allowing for”意为“将计算在内”而题干中“the exemption of”意为“免除”,二者含义正好相反。(3).States should respect international law even if some people are skeptical about its power to be enacted.(分数:2.00)A.正确 B.错误解析:解析 It is significant that
15、 those who regard international law as a form of morality usually speak of it as “mere morality“. Although experienced diplomats do not often share the popular skepticism about international law, there is a danger that the popular attitude may affect inexperienced officials and pressure groups withi
16、n a state, and that the state may, as a result, be pushed into breaking international law.分析 因果关系的理解和推断。原文认为公众对国际法的怀疑态度会影响国内那些经验尚不丰富的官员和重要的集团,其结果便是,这种怀疑态度会导致违反国际法。由此可推断,即使一些人对国际法持怀疑态度,国家要尊重该法,才能使国际法得以贯彻实施。显然,题干的含义符合对原文的推断,因此,该题的说法是正确的。解题关键 注意识别表因果关系的信号词,以便正确理解因果关系。原文中使用了“as a result”。(4).The interna
17、tional community should seek other effective methods in establishing economic global governance instead of relying on the WTO.(分数:2.00)A.正确B.错误 解析:解析 Asking for a WTO focused on its trade mission is not to neglect the importance of the other problems the institution has been asked to deal with. But
18、the balance that many countries expect to see in the economic global governance agenda should not be pursued solely at the WTO. The international community should create effective ad-hoc instruments to confront the other challenges.分析 语义逻辑关系的理解和判断。原文最后部分指出国际共同体应该“create effective ad-hoc instruments
19、to confront the other challenges”即“创造有效、特别的方法面对其他挑战”,而题干中却说国际共同体寻求有效的方法是为了“in establishing economic global governance”即“建立经济的全球管理方式”,显然题干所言的目的与原文不相符,因此,该题的说法是错误的。解题关键 掌握表示目的的信号词,有助于快速理解语义。原文中信号词为最后一句中动词不定式短语;而题目中为介词 in 短语。(5).Economists attribute the world soybean boom to the rise in soybean product
20、ion in China and its increased export of related products.(分数:2.00)A.正确B.错误 解析:解析 Economists say that the main spur to the global soybean boom is the emergence of a middle class in China, much of whose newly disposable income has been spent on a richer, more varied diet. Over the past decade, China
21、has been transformed from a net exporter of soybeans to the worlds largest importer in some years of whole soybeans as well as oil and meal byproducts.分析 因果关系的理解和判断。根据原文,文中把全球大豆畅销的原因归结为“the emergence of a middle class in China”即“中国中产阶级的出现”,而题干中却将其原因归结为“the rise ill soybean production in China and it
22、s increased export of related products”即“中国大豆产量的增加和相关产品出口的增加”,显然该说法与原文不符,因此,该题的说法是错误的。解题关键 掌握表因果关系的信号词,可以帮助听者作出正确的判断。原文第一句使用系表结构,直截了当说明原因。题干使用了短语 attribute to(归因于)。(分数:6.00)(1).Many young people doubt that their dreams for the good life could ever come true.(分数:1.20)A.正确 B.错误解析:解析 Scarce jobs, fewer
23、 promotions, soaring costs for shelter and other necessitiesall are causing the nations young to revamp their dreams for the good life. Many of the nations young people are convinced that, despite the economys steady climb out of recession, they will get only a tiny share of the spreading prosperity
24、 or nothing at all.分析 根据上下文线索猜测词义。该题的关键是根据原文上下文线索猜测出单词“revamp”的含义。原文中“Scarce jobs, fewer promotions, soaring costs for shelter and other necessities”,即“匮乏的工作机会,越来越少的升迁机会,飞涨的物价”,由此可推测这些因素应该改变(revamp)年轻人对美好生活所怀有的梦想,这与题干的说法相吻合,因此该题的说法是正确的。解题关键 1) 将原文中关键词进行归纳总结,与选项对照,可得出正确答案;2) 理解选项中关键词含义,如理解 revamp 的含义
25、。(2).Such awful losses of human life in the Iranian quake should not have occurred.(分数:1.20)A.正确 B.错误解析:解析 Consider three major recent California earthquakes: Loma Prieta in 1989, with a 6.9 magnitude, Northridge in 1994, with a 6.7 magnitude, and San Simeon/Paso Robles on December 22, 2003, with a
26、6.5 magnitude. These relatively strong earthquakes in California resulted in a total of 125 deaths, while this weeks Iranian quake, with a somewhat lesser magnitude, claimed 40,000 lives.分析 隐含事实的推测。将原文中有关加利福尼亚和伊朗地震的数字信息作比较,可知隐含的事实是:伊朗的地震远没有加利福尼亚的厉害,但造成的人员伤亡损失却远远超过后者。由此可推测作者认为,伊朗地震造成如此惨重的人员伤亡本可避免。这与题
27、干的说法相吻合,因此该题的说法是正确的。解题关键 正确识别并判断数字信息。(3).Gaddafi made headlines in 1998 by surrendering two Libyan suspects who plotted the bombing of an American jumbo jet.(分数:1.20)A.正确B.错误 解析:解析 Gaddafi, born in 1942, made headlines six years ago when he agreed to surrender the two Libyan suspects in the 1988 bom
28、bing of an American jumbo jet over-Lockerbie in southern Scotland in which 270 people died.分析 特定信息的找寻和判断。本题要求通过特定的数字信息,寻找具体事实。原文提到“Gaddafi.made headlines six years ago”,但并未提那就是 1988 年,原文中关于 1988 年的说法则是“.the two Libyan suspects in the 1988 bombing of an American jumbo jet.”,由此可知,两个利比亚人涉嫌于 1988 年炸毁美国一
29、架珍宝喷气客机,这与题干中“Gaddafi made headlines in 1998.”的说法不符,因此该题的说法是错误的。解题关键 正确识别数字信息。(4).Organic foods are accepted by most nutritionists.(分数:1.20)A.正确B.错误 解析:解析 Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over conventionally grown and marketed food products are
30、 now being debated. Advocates of organic foods frequently proclaim that such products are safer and more nutritious than others.分析 观点态度的判断。本题要求判断说话者对 organic food 的观点态度。由原文“The advantages claimed for such foods.are being debated.”可判断作者并非趋向支持该种食品的优势,或接受该种食品。由此可见,题干中该种食品为很多的营养学家所接受的说法是没有根据的,因此该题的说法是错误
31、的。解题关键 善于根据原文中的信息判断说话者的观点。(5).The removal of the president was a very dangerous and unconstitutional example for other democratic countries.(分数:1.20)A.正确 B.错误解析:解析 The circumstances under which the president left office set a dangerous precedent for democratically elected governments everywhere, as
32、it promotes the unconstitutional removal of duly elected persons from office.分析 因果关系判断。原文因果关系中原因部分是句子的前半部分,即主句部分:这种情况下的总统离任给全世界任何民主选举的政府形成危险的先例;结果部分是原句后半部 as 引导的从句部分,即:这种离任促动了正式选举出的人不合法律地离职。这与题干的说法相吻合,因此该题的说法是正确的。解题关键 掌握通过信号词判断上下文意义的逻辑结构,如 as 表示前后部分-为因果关系。二、Part (总题数:2,分数:16.00)(分数:10.00)A.

33、:解析 I have to tell it was another down day on Wall Street, ending a down week.

And once the goals are clear now the second part of leadership is how do we get there. Thats when you ha

47、清晰,围绕的是如何做一个成功的企业领导人。所以,只要解决听力障碍,明确中心,理清逻辑关系,这道题目也就迎刃而解了。2主题方面:这一材料的主题是如何成为优秀的领导人,这是比较常见也是考生熟悉的主题,在主题知识方面并无太大难度。较不常见的词也只有 mentor,mom-and-pop business、 conglomerate 等,并且其含义可以通过上下文来推断,问题不大。3语速方面:这是一个访谈节目,语速较快,但嘉宾的回答逻辑性较强。只要听清楚问题,围绕问题可以对答案进行大概推测。加上访谈节目是现场的,对话中容易出现语义重复,考生可以从这里人手,把听到的东西自行过滤,总结即可。这也是本部分考查
48、的重点。4语句方面:本材料大多时候是短句居多,但偶尔出现的长句会让紧张的考生措手不及,比如:What are some of the big mistakes that people make when they are in leadership responsibilities whether be, you know, in the workplace or perhaps even at home they think theyve got it down, some of because they are the designated leader。此时考生应该牢牢抓住前面的问题进行总结,只抓大意不管枝节。
