34、ew notes to write your summary.（分数：20.00）_翻译二级口译综合能力-2 答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、BPart /B(总题数：2，分数：20.00)（分数：10.00）(1).Mississippi is a typical American southern state.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 No state epitomizes the American South better than Mississippi: First-time visitors are often struck by
35、how friendly residents are - the “southern hospitality“ for which this part of the country is famous. Theyre also likely to be amazed (and far less pleased) at the year-round heat and humidity. 分析 语义的理解和判断。 关于 Mississippi，讲话者一开始便定论 No state epitomizes the American South better than Mississippi 即没有哪个
36、州像 Mississippi 那样典型，能够代表美国南部诸州。接着，讲话者以该州风土人情和气候状况为例具体说明。由此可见，题干的说法与原文意思相符。 解题关键 1)掌握带否定结构的比较级表示最高级的用法，如本题原文中 no. better than 实际上是最高级表达法的替换。2)掌握关键信息中核心词汇的释义，如核心词汇 epitomize 意思是“为的典型表现”。(2).The record company promoted the two Beetles albums in a sensational way.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 The record com
37、pany hyped the double album of the Beatles songs for weeks before its release in the record stores. 分析 词义理解题。 根据原文 The record company hyped the double album of the Beatles songs for weeks before its release in the record stores 可知，早在 Beatles 的唱片在商店销售之前几个星期，唱片公司就开始大张旗鼓，为这两张唱片造势。由此可见，题干的说法“唱片公司大造声势，促进
38、 Beatles 两张唱片的销售”与原文相符。 解题关键 hype 意为“大肆宣传”，而题干中 promote 意思为“促销”。(3).According to the speaker, 5 million is a very large sum in film-making.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 In fact, over the last 20 years, films that have walked off with the Best Picture statuette have cost only slightly more to make than a
39、 typical feature film. Adjusted for inflation and excluding marketing expenses, the median budget for the last 20 Best Picture winners was 47.2 million, compared with a median budget of 41.7 million for a typical flick. 分析 数字信息的找寻和判断。 关于一部影片的制作费用，文中说 the median budget for the last 20 Best Picture wi
40、nners was47.2 million，compared with a median budget of 41.7 million for a typical flick 由此可见，题干中 5 million 与原文不符。 解题关键 掌握数字信息是解题的关键。(4).About 40% of the Minnesotans believed that it was not worthwhile to help immigrants with their lives.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 In September, a poll conducted by The
41、 Pioneer Press and Minnesota Public Radio found that Minnesotans, by 42 percent to 37 percent, believed that the cost of helping immigrants start their new lives outweighed their economic, social and other contributions. 分析 数字信息的找寻和判断。 原文统计，明尼苏达州 42的人认为帮助移民开始新生活的代价超出他们的经济、社会及其它贡献。持相反观点的人为 37。由此可见，题干
42、的说法是正确的。 解题关键 能够掌握介词 to 表明的对比关系，有助于正确理解语义。(5).Johnny Carsons entertaining show even had some influence on American politics.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 Johnny Carson insisted that the only message of his show was entertainment. But his credibility with the American public was such that his monologues
43、were carefully monitored by politicians mindful that no politician who became a frequent target of Johnny Carson could long survive in public life. 分析 推理判断题。 根据原文可知，Johnny Carson 坚持说他的表演是娱乐性的，但 his monologues were carefully monitored by politicians mindful that no politician who became a frequent ta
44、rget of Johnny Carson could long survive in public life 由此可见，他的独白被美国政客们严密监控，因为只要某人成为 Johnny Carson 的靶子，他不久便会退出公众生活。因此题干的说法与原文相符，是正确的。 解题关键 通过上下文理解句中比喻的含义是解题的关键，如正确理解本题中 target 的含义。（分数：10.00）(1).Now people believe that both their governments and individuals should practice justice, integrity and trus
45、t.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 Entire communities also come to understand that while it is necessary to hold their governments accountable, it is equally important that in their own relationships with each other, they exemplify the leadership values they wish to see in their own leaders, namely justice
46、, integrity and trust. 分析 语义的理解和判断。 根据原文，全体大众认识到虽然政府应肩负责任，但是公众自身电同样肩负重任，展现他们期望从领袖们身上看到的领导价值观，如正义、诚实和信任。由此叮见，政府和大众均应遵循正义、诚实和信任的价值观。因此，题干的说法与原文相符，是正确的。 解题关键 掌握同义词替换。原文中 exemplify 与题干中 practice 意思相当。(2).Scientists do not understand why women should outlive men by five years.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 A
47、man is in his best shape in the decade before age 25 when his muscles are firmest, his resistance to colds and infections is highest and his body is most efficient in utilizing nutrients. For reasons that scientists do not understand, women get a five-year bonus. 分析 数字信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文可知，男人在 25 岁以前的 10
48、 年中身体状态、各项机能处于最高峰，但不知为什么，women get a five-year bonus 即女人的高峰时期比男人还多五年。由此可见，原文并未讨论女性寿命比男性长的问题。因此，题干的说法与原文不符。 解题关键 能够将关键信息总结归纳。如将本题中几个最高级表达 firmest，highest 和 most efficient 总结归纳，可知本段主题讨论身体最佳状态或身体机能的高峰，显然与题干中关键词 outlive“比活得长”不符。(3).There is speculation that Mr. Bush would eventually repay all the nation
49、al debts in his term.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 Before Mr. Bush came to power, the federal government had a surplus. It was spending less than it received in taxes and there was even speculation that most of the national debt might eventually be repaid. 分析 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据原文，在布什就职前，联邦政府还有赢余，政府的开销少于其税收收入，甚至有人预测大部分国债最终会被偿清。由此可
