Which would you rather be, a mathematician or an author? Perhaps you will never be faced with this kind of choice. Lewis Carroll was both a mathematician and an author. He was a lecturer in mathematics at Oxford University. But he is better known as the author of two of the most famous children's books that have ever been written (Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. The author's real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, but he preferred to use the penname "Lewis Carroll" when he wrote, and this is the name we remember him by. Alice in Wonderland was published in 1865, when the author was 33 years old; it was followed by Through the Looking Glass in 1871. Both books were written for a real girl called Alice and they have been read by millions of children since they were first published. These stories are about a dream world in which Alice meets strange creatures and has interesting adventures. I'm sure you know this already, but if you don't you'd better read the stories yourselves.9. People know Lewis Carroll mainly for ______.
A.his good penname
B.his interesting stories
C.his ability in mathematics
D.his wonderful teaching at Oxford University
答案：B
10. Through the Looking Glass was published when its author ______.
A.was 33 years old
B.was 39 years old
C.had had interesting adventures
D.was still a student at Oxford University
答案：B
11. The two books ______.

答案：D
13. The real name of the author of the two books is ______.
A.Alice
B.Lewis Garroll

D.Charles Lutwidge Dodgson
答案：D
The aim of the teacher is to get his pupils as quickly as possible over the period in which each printed symbol (符号) is looked at for its shape, and arrive at the stage when the pupils look at words and phrases for their meaning, almost without noticing the shapes of the separate letters.
When a good reader is at work, he does not look at letters, nor even at words, one by one, however quickly; he takes in the meaning of two, three, or four words at a time, in a single moment. Watch carefully the eyes of a good reader who is reading, and it will be seen that they do not travel smoothly along the lines of print, but they move by jumps separated by very short stops. The eyes of a very good reader move quickly, taking long jumps and making very short pauses; the eyes of a poor reader move more slowly, taking only short jumps and stopping longer at each pause. Sometimes, when he meets difficulty, he even goes backwards to see again what has already been looked at before.
The teacher's task is therefore clear: it is to train his pupils to take in several words at a glance (one "eye-jump") and to remove the necessity for going backwards to read something a second time.
This shows at once that letter-by-letter, or word-by-word reading, with the finger pointing to the word, carefully fixing each one in turn, is wrong. It is wrong because such a method ties the pupil's eyes down to a very short jump, and the aim is to train for the long jump. Moreover, a very short jump is too short to provide any meaning or sense; and it will be found that having struggled with three or four words separately, the pupil has to look at them again, all together and in one group, in order to get the meaning of the whole phrase.14. According to the passage, the aim of the teacher is to ______.
A.train his pupils to reach quickly the stage of reading without having to concentrate on the separate symbols
B.help his pupils look at each printed symbol for its meaning as well as for its shape
C.help his pupils avoid taking long jumps and making short pauses while they are trying to get the meaning of what they are reading
D.tell his pupils different reading stages, of which the first one is to recognize the separate printed symbols
答案：A
15. A good reader usually reads several ______ in a single moment.
A.letters
B.words
C.sentences
D.lines
答案：B
16. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A.The eyes of a good reader make long pauses.
B.The eyes of a good reader take long jumps.
C.The eyes of a poor reader take short jumps.
D.The eyes of a poor reader stop longer at each pause.
答案：A
17. Reading with the finger pointing to the word ______.
A.helps the pupil understand the words in groups and get the meaning of the whole passage
B.removes the necessity for going backwards to read something a second time

Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "Smith Enterprises", she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, it hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Made. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. Then Made realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35,so that his staff knew exactly when to start working. Made felt nervous when she knocked at the door because______. A it was her first day in a new job B she was a little bit late for work C she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place D there was no answer from inside the office

全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试英语三级笔译实务模拟试题 Part 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET (60 points, 100 minutes). I leave the vault, and as the guard closes the door, a marine archaeologist asks if I want to see anything else. As an example he shows me an astrolabe, a navigation tool that preceded the sextant. Few have survived. "We have three of the oldest known," he says. He directs me to a paper on astrolabes written by a Cuban colleague, who quoted a 16th-century instruction: "He who wants to take the sun with an astrolabe at sea, must be seated near the main mast, the place where the boat oscillates the least and is quiet." I want to take the measure of Cubas past, so I tell the archaeologist I would like to go to the place where the plain things are. I am here not only to see treasures that glitter but also to see and touch objects that illumine moments of the past. Smiling, he takes me into storage rooms where he and other archaeologists preserve cargoes from four centuries of wrecks. Jumbled on these shelves is the stuff of Cubas long reign as counting house and command center for Spains New World colonies. I see knickknacks destined for one of the annual 18th-century trade fairs, where Cubans bought imports from Spain. I also see, pallid from centuries in the sea, dozens of little painted ceramic dogs, lions, cats, and deer later shipped from England. Stacked nearby are sets of dinner dishes, tankards, an hourglass, a bottle of very Old Spanish wine. On another day, in fading light, I walk the ramparts of El Morro, its lighthouse standing tall over Havanas harbor. The old fortress, by day a warren of tourist stops, changes by night, looming deeper into the shadows of Havanas past. As torches light the darkness, I watch Cuban soldiers, costumed as 18th-century Spanish sentries, march along the ramparts of the Castillo de San Carlos and fire a cannon that salutes

Beijing has extended its ban on operating outdoor barbecues from the city center outward to selected suburbs, according to municipal authorities. A year ago, Beijing banned restaurants from operating outdoor barbecues within the fourth ring road area. And now, the ban has extended to several suburbs, including Mentougou, Fangs- han, Tongzhou, Shunyi, Daxing, Pinggu and Miyun. The barbecue ban was announced to reduce Beijing' s air pollution, as barbecue has long been accused as one of the major contributors to haze. According to Wang Yuesi, a researcher from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics in Chinese Academy of Sciences, barbecuing can generate a lot of PM 2.5, harmful airborne particles measur- ing less than 2.5 microns in diameter. "Considering the seriousness of the air pollution in Beijing, we have to ban everything that may do harm to our environment!" Wang said. The issue has divided Chinese netizens, as half agreed with the policy while the other half called this grand plan nothing but "empty talk. "

I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them are clutching (紧握) at one another's hands for reassurance. They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon. It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today's parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path. But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come—with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts. 1.In this passage, the author wants to tell ________. A.teenagers to try to pursue their real selves B.readers to try to be popular with people around C.parents to try to control and guide their children D.people to try to understand and respect each other 2.The author disapproves of rebelling teenagers ________. A.growing away from their parents
