31、actorily./I（分数：20.00）_翻译二级口译综合能力 2005 年 05 月答案解析(总分：100.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、BPart /B(总题数：2，分数：20.00)(1).John Ciardi got his masters degree from the University of Michigan in 1939 and has published more than 40 poems.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 John Ciardi was born in 1916 in Boston, Massachusetts, the chi
32、ld of Italian immigrants. He attended Bates College and Tufts College and received his masters degree from the University of Michigan in 1939. He is the author of more than forty volumes of poetry. 分析 事实细节的找寻和判断。 将题干中的细节信息与原文对照，发现原文说 John Ciardi 写诗的数量为“more than forty volumes of poetry”即“四十多卷诗歌”，而不是
33、题干所言的四十多首(more than forty poems)。因此，该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 注意数字后面的量词。量词经常会成为听力考查的对象。(2).In the future, people may not use chemicals to propel spacecraft.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 Most NASA spacecraft rely on some form of chemical propellant to push themselves through space. But at the Marshall-based center
34、, researchers are studying a range of future propulsion methods, including propellant-less systems, simulated fission engines that could one-day lead to the real thing and the basic technologies necessary for future antimatter drives. 分析 语义推断题。 该段主要讨论宇宙飞船的动力系统。根据原文我们知道如今大部分飞船靠化学物质作为动力，但如今研究者们正在研制一系列
35、的未来动力措施。由此可推测，未来飞船不会使用化学物质作为动力。因此，该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 注意文中信号词的使用。文中第二句使用 but 实现了前后部分的转折，前部分说飞船使用化学推动力， 自然该词后部分应该是说飞船不再会使用化学物质为动力。(3).The speaker felt embarrassed to speak in class.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 I just got out of a history class. Im sure I made a fool of myself. I just got so embarrassed and
36、nervous whenever Ive to speak in front of a group of people. I stand up and my face gets red and then I get even more nervous because I know everyone can see me blushing. 分析 语篇逻辑结构的判断。 原文是说话者谈自己上历史课的表现。中心词使用了embarrassed and nervous，后面以具体事例说明他是如何 embarrassed and nervous。因此题目总结他的表现是 embarrassed 与原文相符，
37、是正确的说法。 解题关键 判断中心句和支持性细节的关系。一般而言，中心句的用词较为抽象、具有概括性，如文中所用的 embarrassed，而支持性细节的用词较为生动具体，如文中的具体事例。(4).The vapor problem was mainly caused by the chemical containments from the ground water out of the company.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 The company, which was not the sole source of the pollution but is the
38、 only business working on the cleanup, has already spent several million dollars installing ventilation systems and creating a network of wells, pumps and filters to extract chemical contaminants from groundwater. The vapor problem came to light in 2003 as a result of air-quality tests sought by res
39、idents. 分析 事实细节的找寻和判断。 根据文章语义因果关系可推断地下水中的污染物蒸发造成空气污染，这一点与题干说法相符，但就地下水的来源，通过原文“The company, which was not the sole source of the pollution”可推测，被污染的地下水并非只来自该公司一家，因此，该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 对关键词的正确理解有助于解题，如原文相关处一词“sole”意为“唯一的”，可帮助听者推测既然该公司不是唯一的污染源，那么被污染的地下水就不会只来自该公司一家。(5).Schools in Maryland used to raise fund
40、 for construction and renovation by selling bonds.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 Faced with a problem that could break the budget, Maryland is joining a growing number of states by looking for private partners to help improve school facilities. A law that took effect July 1 allows Marylands school system
41、s to fund school construction and renovation projects using alternatives to traditional financing, which usually comes from the sale of bonds by public agencies to banks and investors. 分析 特定信息的找寻和判断。 根据题干中提供的特定信息 Maryland, school 和 construction and renovation，找到原文相关处，可知“A law.allows Marylands school
42、 systems to fund school construction and renovation projects using alternatives to traditional financing, which usually comes from the sale of bonds.”即“该法规允许马里兰州的学校使用非传统的方式解决其用于校舍建设和翻新的资金，比如可以出售债券”，由此可见，该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 搞清句子成分有助于解题，如原句说到解决资金使用非传统手段时，使用了 which 引导的非限定性定语从句，具体说明了 bonds 这一形式。(1).The comp
43、any began by offering computer software solutions to local businesses in the greater Seattle metropolitan area.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 Globalcall Communications has grown from a telecommunications solutions provider for local businesses in the greater Seattle metropolitan area to a truly global co
44、rporation providing telecommunications solutions for clients both large and small. Established to fill a significant market gap for simple communication solutions, the company first expanded to most major North American cities before becoming a major multinational player. 分析 语义的理解和判断。 根据原文“Globalcal
45、l Communications has grown from a telecommunications solutions provider for local businesses in the greater Seattle metropolitan area to a truly global corporation”可判断该句中的 has grown from.to.句型实际上点明了该公司由起家到发迹的历史，该公司一开始是为西雅图大商圈中的企业服务，而后成长为国际性公司。因此，该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 同义词替换。原文中 has grown from 与题干中began 意思相
46、同，使听者可由此抓住听的重心。(2).The airport is able to handle 25 million passengers and 1.2 million tons of cargo a year.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：听力原文 The 350,000-square meter, granite-floored and glass-walled terminal can accommodate 25 million passengers a year and the airport, which has two runways, can handle 1.
47、2 million tons of air freight, the worlds third-highest cargo capacity. 分析 数字信息的找寻。 根据题干中的数字信息，与原文相关处作对照，发现细节均相符，因此该题的说法是正确的。 解题关键 1) 根据题干特点抓住原文数字信息重点听；2) 同义词替换，在相关信息处，原文中数字修饰的中心词“freight”与题干中使用的“cargo”意思相当，均指“货物”。(3).According to the U.S. scientists, the bacteria giving the soft orange glow prevent
48、s the seawater from nourishing the coral.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：听力原文 U.S. scientists discovered that the soft orange glow of a common Caribbean coral comes not from the coral itself but from bacteria that live inside it. And the bacteria not only give the coral a little nightlight, but they also break
49、 down seawater to help nourish the coral. 分析 事实细节的找寻和判断。 根据题干，需要与原文核对的细节有两处：1) 某种细菌是否发出橘黄色的光；2) 该细菌是否阻止海水向珊瑚提供养分。根据原文“the soft orange glow. but from bacteria that live inside it”可知，题干中第一处细节与原文相符；根据原文“the bacteria.break down seawater to help nourish the coral”即“该细菌还可分解海水，使其更有助于为珊瑚提供养分”，由此可见，第二处细节与原文说法不符，因此该题的说法是错误的。 解题关键 掌握反义词的识别，有助于迅速解题。原文中的 help 与题干中
