1、口译二级实务模拟试卷 11及答案与解析 一、 PART 1 English-Chinese Translation (50 points, 30 minutes) Interpret the following passages from English into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal and stop it at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear the passages only ONCE. Now lets begin.
2、1 If you thought multimedia was something to be enjoyed in the privacy of your home, think again. Banks are on the frontier of the “information superhighway“ because they spend more on the technology than any other type of civilian business. Take the case of J. P. Morgan, Americas fourth largest ban
3、k by assets. It has developed a system whereby deals and documents can be finalized quickly on the computer screen with the help of an electronic pen. Its securities analysts in London and traders in Tokyo can talk to each other via the same screen. And clients trust can be built up, and deals compl
4、eted, faster than via a telephone line which carries no pictures. The new electronic gizmos are currently being introduced into Morgans trading departments in New York, but eventually they will be used around the world-Aisa included. They make it economically possible to establish small dealing room
5、s in capitals such as Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok, while concentrating Morgans expensive back-office functions in Singapore. Morgans pioneering effort illustrates how United States banks are using high technology and large amounts of capital to lever their way into Asian markets. Rivals in Europe and J
6、apan are doing so too, but they do not have the same access to the vast pool of saving available to American banks. US Pension Fund assets, for example, total US $4. 4 trillion, more than three times the size of Japans. US institutions are in the best position to act as a bridge between the growing
7、capital demands of Asia and the supply of investment from the rest of the world. The bridge, of course, could wobble badly, as it did in the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, but this is hard to imagine in the 1990s when the economic fundamentals in Asia look so favorable. It took American ba
8、nks almost a decade to emerge from the Latin American rubble, but they are now formidable competitor. They have written off nonperforming loans and cut payrolls far more boldly than their Japanese counterparts, which are still dogged by soured loans to spendthrift property speculators in Japan. The
9、US commercial banks toughest rivals in Asian cross-border business are more likely to be their investment-bank compatriots rather than the Japanese, and the capital markets of Asia, as elsewhere, will be their battleground. The big five US banks Citibank, Bank of America, Chemical, Morgan and Chase
10、Manhattan, enjoy the advantage of being big. Compared with firms such as Salomon Brothers and Goldman Sachs, the big five are bigger in most senses of the word. They have more capital, more staff and more branches worldwide through which to distribute corporate issues. What remains to be seen is whe
11、ther they have trading and deal-making ability to compete with investment hanks. 2 The evidence that the Earths atmosphere is warming continues to accumulate. A big issue is thus raised concerning the extent to which the warming is due to human activity and natural causes. Climate change scientists
12、are looking for the answer. Following the periodic full-scale scientific assessments of global climate change, they have concluded that there is a “discernible human influence“ on the global climate. Although a reliable estimate of the magnitude of human imprint on climate still remains some distanc
13、e off, human activities may have been the dominant factor in the global warming of recent decades. Human factors appear to be playing a part, stemming mostly from emissions of waste industrial gases like carbon dioxide, which trap heat in the atmosphere, and sulfate aerosols from industrial smokesta
14、cks. Will the climate change lead to the earths eventual extinction? We have no definite answer yet, at least not likely as far as our knowledge goes. The earth experienced a catastrophic extinction about 250 million years ago. In the space of a few thousand years, something terrible happened to our
15、 planet, something that wiped out 90% of earths ocean species and about 70% of those that lived on land. It was the worst extinction in the history of the earth, known as the Great Dying. It eliminated whole communities of coral reefs, forests, giant amphibians and ferocious reptiles, swarms of inse
16、cts and the oceans ubiquitous triobites, those hard-shelled invertebrates that were never seen on the planet again. What caused that extinction? Any number of scenarios has been offered, ranging from the explosion of a nearby star to Ice Age cooling and greenhouse warming. None of them were entirely
17、 convincing. We tend to accept the most recent conclusion that the extinction was caused by the impact of an asteroid or comet or meteor, like the one that probably wiped out the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. In each case the damage would have been done not by the explosive collision itself but by
18、 the series of global disasters it triggered, for example, furious volcanic eruptions, a rapid heating of the atmosphere and the depletion of life-giving oxygen from the ocean. We cant say exactly where this out-space visitor struck because the tectonic processes that rearrange the earth surface hav
19、e since churned up most of the evidence. But we can estimate its size. It probably measured roughly half the size of the island of Manhattan and it would have slammed into the earth with the force of a magnitude-12 earthquake. Of course, this does not give us an excuse to underestimate the destructi
20、on that human harmful activities have brought to the earths climate change. We must realize that we are living the way beyond the limits of the capacity of this planet to sustain. There is almost nothing that we do that will not compromise the ability of humans to meet their needs in the future. Lif
21、e ought to be enjoyable. But our destructive ways of life have serious consequences: new human diseases, strange animal and plant diseases, bizarre natural disasters, food shortages, etc. We must act now and channel our way of life in a healthy, sustainable direction. 二、 PART 2 Chinese-English Trans
22、lation (50 points, 30 minutes) Interpret the following passages from Chinese into English. Start interpreting at the signal and stop it at the signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear the passages only ONCE. Now lets begin. 3 海洋是全球生命支持系统的一个不可缺少的组成部分。海洋不仅是自然资源的宝库,同时也是我们人类居住环境

24、海洋能发电等潜在海洋产业的形成和发展。中国的海洋渔业、海盐和盐化工业以及海洋运输业、造船业、油气业等主要海洋产业已经成为国民经济发展的推动力量。 中国目前正在实施海洋高技术计划,其重点是海岸带资源与环境可持续利用、海水淡化、海洋能 利用和海水资源综合利用等高技术的开发和利用。 作为一个高度负责的沿海大国,中国积极推进国家间和地区性海洋领域的合作,并认真履行自己承担的国际义务,为全球海洋开发和保护事业做出了积极贡献。 4 党的十一届三中全会以来,随着党和国家工作重点转移到以经济建设为中心,教育在社会主义现代化建设中的地位和作用也越来越重要,我国教育的改革和发展取得了很大的成就。 进入 20世纪
