1、翻译三级笔译实务分类真题 2及答案解析(总分:100.00,做题时间:90 分钟)一、BSection Engli(总题数:2,分数:60.00)1.It took nine years from the time the Danish and Swedish governments agreed to build a fixed link between their countries to the time the first car, train, truck and bicyclists crossed the Oresund Bridge.Construction of the br
2、idge, including design and cornerstone, began in March 1991 and was completed in July 2000. Today, it is the longest stone-stayed road and rail bridge in the world. At approximately 10 miles (16 kilometers), including the tunnel, it is an engineering and architectural marvel. But as time has proven,
3、 the bridge is a cultural and economic boon as well. The sleek span of concrete whose design typifies Scandinavian minimalism has contributed greatly to the development of the Oresund region: the eastern part of Denmark, including Copenhagen, and the southwestern part of Sweden, including Maim? and
4、Lund.The level of commuting between Maim? and Copenhagen has quadrupled since the opening of the bridge in 2000, and the number of Danes moving to the south of Sweden has increased sixfold. The Oresund region has become a cultural and economic powerhouse, considered a model region by the European Un
5、ion.Work on the bridge began in 1995, and was undertaken by a team of international consulting and construction companies.From the beginning, construction of the bridge complied with some of the worlds toughest environmental regulations, as well as many advanced design and construction details. The
6、Mexico-based CEMEX, one of the worlds largest producers of Cement and ready-mix concrete, was awarded a contract to deliver tons of high-quality cement to help build the main part of the bridge, the two approach bridges and the tunnel.When it opened in July 2000, the Oresund Bridge consisted of a 3.
7、5-kilometer immersed tunnel, the largest of its kind in the world, a 4-kilometer long artificial island (made from mud dug out from the bottom of strait to make space for the tunnel) and a 7.8-kilometer cable-stayed bridge, the worlds longest bridge including both a highway and a railroad.Though jus
8、t half of the total construction, the actual bridge span, is visible above water, the overall architecture was designed to please the eye from both the Danish and Swedish sides of the strait.The four 204-meter (670 feet) tall pillars carrying the bridge have a simple Scandinavian design. To drivers
9、and passengers crossing the bridge, the pillars provide a visual, as well as actual, impression of stability and calm.The two-level structure is made of steel and concrete. Along the two approach bridges, tracks are placed in concrete troughs that turn into steel decks on the bridge. The bridges upp
10、er deck carries cars and trucks, while the lower deck accommodates the railroad. The four pillars are grounded in giant cement boxes placed at the bottom of the strait, about 18 meters below sea level.Last year, an average of 13,600 vehicles and 17,000 passengers crossed the bridge every day, and tr
11、affic continues to increase by 10-20 percent every year.Throughout the construction process, the Danish and Swedish environmental agencies have surveyed but found no changes in the wildlife, birds, fish and vegetation surrounding the bridge. In addition, the chemicals used in construction and the pe
12、rcentage of waste materials have been kept to a minimum, as required by both Danish and Swedish laws.In 2003, the Oresund Bridge won the IABSE (International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering) Outstanding Structural Award for its innovative design, planning and construction managemen
13、t, as well as its strict compliance with the time schedule, budget and environmental requirements.(分数:30.00)_2.One of the biggest decisions Andy Blevins has ever made, and one of the few he now regrets, never seemed like much of a decision at all. It just felt like the natural thing to do. In the su
14、mmer of 1995, he was moving boxes of soup cans, paper towels and dog food across the floor of a supermarket warehouse, one of the biggest buildings here in southwest Virginia. The heat was brutal. The job had sounded impossible when he arrived fresh off his first year of college, looking to make som
15、e summer money, still a skinny teenager with sandy blond hair and a narrow, freckled face. But hard work done well was something he understood, even if he was the first college boy in his family. Soon he was making bonuses on top of his $6.75 an hour, more money than either of his parents made. His
16、girlfriend was around, and so were his hometown buddies. Andy acted more outgoing with them, more relaxed. People in Chilhowie noticed that. It was just about the perfect summer. So the thought crossed his mind: maybe it did not have to end. Maybe he would take a break from college and keep working.
17、 He had been getting Cs and Ds, and college never felt like home, anyway. “I enjoyed working hard, getting the job done, getting a paycheck,“ Mr. Blevins recalled. “I just knew I didnt want to quit.“ So he quit college instead, and with that, Andy Blevins joined one of the largest and fastest-growin
18、g groups of young adults in America. He became a college dropout, though nongraduate may be the more precise term. Many people like him plan to return to get their degrees, even if few actually do. Almost one in three Americans in their mid-20s now fall into this group, up from one in five in the la
19、te 1960s, when the Census Bureau began keeping such data. Most come from poor and working-class families. That gap had grown over recent years. “We need to recognize that the most serious domestic problem in the United States today is the widening gap between the children of the rich and the childre
20、n of the poor,“ Lawrence H. Summers, the president of Harvard, said last year when announcing that Harvard would give full scholarships to all its lowest-income students. “And education is the most powerful weapon we have to address that problem.“ Andy Blevins says that he too knows the importance o
21、f a degree. Ten years after trading college for the warehouse, Mr. Blevins, 29, spends his days at the same supermarket company. He has worked his way up to produce buyer, earning $35,000 a year with health benefits and a 401(k) plan. He is on a path typical for someone who attended college without
22、getting a four-year degree. Men in their early 40s in this category made an average of $42,000 in 2000. Those with a four-year degree made $65,000. Mr. Blevins says he has many reasons to be happy. He lives with his wife, Karla, and their year-old son, Lucas, in a small blue-and-yellow house in the
23、middle of a stunningly picturesque Appalachian valley. “Looking back, I wish I had gotten that degree,“ Mr. Blevins said in his soft-spoken lilt. “Four years seemed like a thousand years then. But I wish I would have just put in my four years.“ Why so many low-income students fall from the college r
24、anks is a question without a simple answer. Many high schools do a poor job of preparing teenagers for college. Tuition bills scare some students from even applying and leave others with years of debt. To Mr. Blevins, like many other students of limited means, every week of going to classes seemed l
