31、：-1.00）_翻译二级口译综合能力模拟 33 答案解析(总分：61.00，做题时间：90 分钟)一、Part (总题数：2，分数：14.00)（分数：4.00）(1).According to the statement, the UN Security Council resolution concerning Israel and Yasser Arafat was presented by the United States and approved by 11 Council members including Britain, Germany and Bulgaria.（分数：0.
32、80）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 Council members voted in favor of the measure, while Britain, Germany and
33、 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
34、ranks as the world“s second largest automobile manufacturers owing to its improved quality and enlarged market share.（分数：0.80）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 Toyota Motor, having topped Daimler-Chrysler“s American unit in sales for the first time last month, may be poised to dethrone Ford Motor as the world“s second
35、-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
36、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“by”表明，而题干混淆并歪曲了这一因果关系，因此其说法是错误的。 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 by 表明了其前后内容的因果关系。(3).It is reasonable to assume that demand for sophisticated emergency medical treatment is higher in Jerusalem, where terrorist bomb attack
37、s were frequent incidents.（分数：0.80）A.正确 B.错误解析：解析 In Jerusalem, where responding to terror attacks has become a grim medical specialty, Dr. David Applebaum was known as the “first man on the scene“. He spent years dashing to the bomb sites to treat the wounded, and was an innovator in emergency medi
38、cal services that are called into action all too often in the city. 分析 语义推理判断。 通过原文“emergency medical services that are called into action all too often in the city”及“In Jerusalem, where responding to terror attacks has become a grim medical specialty”可推断急救服务在 Jerusalem 频频需要的原因是该城不断遭受恐怖袭击。由此可知，题干的说法
39、是正确的。 解题关键 在没有明显信号词提示的情况下，迅速对上下文语义逻辑关系作出判断。(4).As a free-floating currency, Japanese yen often fluctuates with the US dollar, and destabilizes the country“s economy and financial system.（分数：0.80）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 The Chinese currency, the yuan, is not a free-floating currency like the Japanese yen but
40、is pegged to the US dollar. Its value is therefore essentially unchanged. Beijing is not expected to change this system in the near term, in part because officials there fear that a move now towards free-floating currency could destabilize the country“s economy and financial system. 分析 因果关系的判断。 根据原文
41、第一句“The Chinese currency, the yuan, is not a flee-floating currency like the Japanese yen but is pegged to the US dollar.”可知中国货币不是自由浮动的，随美元浮动，而日元是自由浮动的，因此可以推测该货币不随美元浮动，这与题干中说日元随美元浮动不符；而且原文最后句说到“.officials there fear that a move now towards free-floating currency could destabilize the country“s econo
42、my and financial system.”即“中国官员担心调整人民币使之逐渐成为自由浮动货币的举动会使中国的经济和财政体系动荡”，由此可见，可能使中国经济和财政体系动荡的原因是举动(move)，而不是自由浮动的货币制度(free-floating currency)。题干中说日元作为自由浮动货币会引起该国经济和财政体系的动荡，误解歪曲了原文的因果关系，因此共说法是错误的。 解题关键 正确识别句子成分是解此题的关键。(5).Ben Glisan Jr. is the highest-ranking executive of the Enron company found to be gu
43、ilty for the accounting scandal.（分数：0.80）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 Ben Glisan Jr., a former treasurer of Enron, has pleaded guilty to a federal charge that he committed securities and wire fraud, making him the highest-ranking former Enron executive to admit wrongdoing in the accounting scandal that drove the
44、energy company into bankruptcy. 分析 特定信息的找寻和判断。 原文中提到 Ben Glisan 的身份时使用的是“former Enron executive”即“Enron 公司前任执行总裁”而非题干中所言的现任总裁，由此可见，题干的说法与原文不符，因此是错误的。 解题关键 主要信息的修饰成分，如定语等经常成为考查目标，因此要对该句中的 former 多加留意。（分数：10.00）(1).Besera Kostava is the master of ceremonies for the concert.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 To w
45、elcome the new UN Secretary General Ban Kin-Moon, renowned Italian composer Alio Maricoli held his first American concert at the United Nations. In this report by Besera Kostava, the master of ceremonies, UN media chief Ahmad Southi, takes us through the highlights of this historical event. 难点 “In t
46、his report by Besera Kostava, the master of ceremonies, UN media chief Ahmad Southi”中提到了两个人名，很容易把“Besera Kostava”，误解为“the master of ceremonies”。(2).The economy is very healthy because all of the economic numbers look good.（分数：2.00）A.正确 B.错误解析：解析 We forget sometimes we have some good news to report o
47、n now and again. The good news is the economy is robust strong, moving in the right direction, and all of the numbers look good. We have the privilege now to talk with Alan Holbert, who is the assistant to the President for economic policy. 难点 “The good news is the economy is robust strong, moving i
48、n the right direction, and all of the numbers look good Robust strong”就是指经济健康运行，“all of the numbers look good”可理解为推导出经济健康运行的根据。(3).The funds to expand alternative energy research are 2,700 million dollars, a 53 percent increase over the 2006 funding level.（分数：2.00）A.正确B.错误 解析：解析 The budget proposes
49、$2.7 billion to expand alternative energy research, a 53 percent increase over the 2006 funding level. These funds will support further research into cellulosic ethanol, which can be produced from sources like wood chips and grasses. 难点 “The budget proposes $2.7 billion to expand alternative energy research, a 53 percent increase over the 2006 funding level.”一句中，关键是理解数字。(4).An original mechanism to deal with conflicts is established in
