34、00）_翻译二级口译综合能力-12 答案解析(总分：84.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Part (总题数：2，分数：16.00)（分数：10.00）(1).Despite the dramatic changes over 200 years, more and more Americans have moved out of the urban areas.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 About 200 years ago, about 95 percent of Americans lived on farms. There were only 24 urban a
35、reas, all of which were under 100,000 people. By mid-20th century, things had changed dramatically: 70 percent of the American public lived in urban areas. From 5 percent to 70 percent ! There were over 6,000 cities or urban areas.分析 数字信息的找寻和判断。根据原文 By mid-20th century，things had changed dramaticall
36、y：70 percent of the American public lived in urban areas. From 5 percent to 70 percent!由此可知，美国经过 200 多年的发展，城市人口迅速增长，如今 70的美国人在城市中居住。因此可判断，题干的说法与原文不符，是错误的。解题关键 注意有关信息的收集，并根据数字进行简单判断。(2).Leeds is the third largest city in Britain, after London and Edinburgh.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 Leeds is close to th
37、e geographical centre of Britain. It has good motorway and railway connections with the rest of the country, making it an ideal centre from which to visit other parts. It is 200 miles north of London and 200 miles south of Scotlands capital, Edinburgh.分析 特定信息的找寻和判断。关于 Leeds 的情况，文中谈到了该城的地理位置，即 Leeds
38、is close to the geographical centre of Briitain，而且 It is 200 miles north of London and 200 miles south of Scotlands capital，Edinburgh。文中并没有将其与 London 和 Edinburgh 比较大小，由此可见，题干的说法与原文意思不符，因此是错误的。解题关键 掌握词汇归类，有助于正确理解原文。木题原文中相关词汇全部与位置有关而与排名无关，该特点可帮助听者正确判断题干中关键词的正确与否。(3).There was a time when books were ac
39、cessible only to monks and priests.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：解析 Broadly speaking, there was a time when books were hand-printed on rare leather by monks. The only people who could read them were priests, who got a regular eyeful of the really cool cartoons the monks drew in the margins. The priests read
40、the books aloud, in Latin to a predominantly non-Latin-speaking audience in cathedrals.分析 特定信息的找寻和判断。关于书本，原文认为 Broadly speaking，there was a time when books were hand-printed on rare leather by monks. The only people who could read them were priests. 即曾经只有和尚才能在珍贵的皮子上用于写书，唯一识文断字的人是牧师。由此可判断，题干的说法与原文意思相
41、当，因此是正确的。解题关键 掌握对题干关键词的理解，是解题的关键。本题题干中关键词 be accessible to 恰当概括了相关原文句义。(4).Commercials generally do not provide information about the products advertised.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：解析 Commercials may sell products, but they generally give little consumer information. Seeing a beautiful girl sipping a soft
42、 drink tells you nothing about the contents of the soda. Or showing a famous baseball player shaving with a name-brand razor does not tell the customer the cost or quality of the razor blade.分析 语义的理解和判断。原文认为 Commercials may sell products，but they generally give little consumer information 即商家出售产品但通常
43、不向消费者透露有关信息，然后以饮料和剃须刀广告为例，说明消费者对产品的信息知之甚少。由此可知，题干的说法与原文意思相符，因此是正确的。解题关键 掌握 little 的否定性含义是正确理解原文含义的关键。(5).Because of the original sin, many Americans take to alcoholism, which costs heavy casualties.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 Each year alcoholism kills 40,000 Americans. It costs our country over 80 bill
44、ion. It is implicated in 30 percent of suicides and 46 percent of teen suicides and is a factor in one of four hospital admissions. No wonder it has long been decried as not far removed from original sin.分析 因果关系的理解和判断。关于酗酒问题，原文以大量实例说明酗酒的危害，而后总结说 No wonder it has long been decried as not far removed
45、from original sin 即难怪酗酒倍受谴责，只是刚刚脱离原罪。由此可见，题干认为由于原罪，许多美国人酗酒造成极大危害的说法与原文不符，因此是错误的。解题关键 掌握信号词的用法，可以帮助理清上下文的逻辑关系。本题中最后一句的 no wonder 即“难怪”暗示了前后文间的因果关系。（分数：6.00）(1).According to the statement, the UN Security Council resolution concerning Israel and Yasser Arafat was presented by the United States and app
46、roved by 11 Council members including Britain, Germany and Bulgaria.（分数：1.20）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 The United States on Tuesday vetoed a UN Security Council resolution, backed by Islamic and nonaligned nations, demanding that Israel back off its threat to deport the Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Eleven
47、 Council members voted in favor of the measure, while Britain, Germany and Bulgaria abstained.分析 逻辑关系的识别和判断。关于联合国的这项议案，原文“Eleven Council members voted in favor of the measure, while Britain, Germany and Bulgaria abstained.”句中信号词 while 表明了其前后内容的对比，该词前面的内容是赞成(in favor of)，但后面的三个国家都对该议案持否定态度。因此，题干的说法是错
48、误的。解题关键 根据信号词对原文语义关系作出正确判断，如原句中 while 表明了其前后内容的对比。(2).Toyota Motor now ranks as the worlds second largest automobile manufacturers owing to its improved quality and enlarged market share.（分数：1.20）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 Toyota Motor, having topped Daimler-Chryslers American unit in sales for the first time l
49、ast month, may be poised to dethrone Ford Motor as the worlds second-biggest automaker within two years. It has gained market share since the 1970s, in part by improving the quality of the vehicles it makes. That is reflected in higher customer satisfaction ratings and fewer defects.分析 因果关系的判断。原文中谈到 Toyota Motor 公司有可能在两年内位居世界汽车生产第二大厂家时，认为该公司自从 20 世纪70 年代以来市场份额逐渐扩大的部分原因是“improving the quality of the vehicles it makes”，即“提高其所生产汽车的质量”，该因果关系通过信号词
