6S Plus by 30%. That comes on the heels of an Accenture report warning that demand

1. 中国每年都要为庆祝农历新年举办电视联欢晚会,其中,最具代表性的当属央视春晚(SpringFestival Gala)。1983年开始推出的央视春晚可谓是中国版的“超级碗”(Super Bowl)。由于观者甚众,春晚为央视带来了创纪录的广告收入。然而,近些年来,央视春晚魅力渐失。其中一个重要原因是,地方卫视(satellite station)推出了自己的春节晚会与央视竞争,并以时尚的内容和大牌明星抢走了大量的观众。
正确答案: Every year, gala TV shows are held in China to celebrate the
Lunar New Year, among which the most representative one is the CCTV Spring
Festival Gala. Launched in 1983, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala is like a Chinese
version of the Super Bowl, bringing in record advertising revenue because of a large
audience. However, in recent years, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala has been losing
its luster. One important reason is that local satellite stations have launched their own
galas to rival CCTV’s, pulling away a significant number of viewers with fashionable

正确答案: Various chronic diseases have become the major health
challenge for the Chinese. With fatter wallets, the Chinese lifestyles have changed
dramatically, including changes in diet and migration to cities, which has put the

challenge for the Chinese,“隐患”也可译为threat。2.第二句中的“随着钱包越来越鼓”可以译为With fatter wallets。“其中包括……”可以用including引导的介词短语表示。“使得……面临极大的风险”可用put…in peril来表示,也可以用pose a serious/great risk to…来表示。3.在翻译最后一句时,可以调整一下句子结构,用and连接两个分句,主语分别为“导致……的主要原因”和“超过2.6亿的中国人”。“卫生部……显示”可以用according to引导的介词短语表示,放在句首或句末均可。 知识模块:汉译英

1. 文房四宝,是中国书画的主要工具和材料,它们是笔、墨、纸、砚。人们通常称它们为“文房四宝”,是说它们是文人书房中必备的四件宝贝。中国古代文人基本上都能书善画,是离不开笔墨纸砚这四件宝贝的。“文房”之名,起于我国历史上的南北朝时期,专指文人书房而言,以笔、墨、纸、砚为文房最常用。文房用具除四宝以外,还有笔筒、笔架、墨盒、笔洗、印泥、印章、印盒等等,也都是书房中的必备之品。
正确答案: The Four Treasures of Chinese Study, i.e. brush, ink, rice paper
and ink stone, are unique tools of Chinese painting and calligraphy. People refer them
as “four treasures” because they are the four most cherished and very often used items
in the study of Chinese scholars. Ancient Chinese scholars were basically all good at
calligraphy and painting and that is why the tools were inseparable to them. The word
“Chinese Study” first originated from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, which
specifically meant to refer to a scholar study where the four tools were the most often

1.
A.Christmas-time attacks made by Somali rebels.
B.An explosion at a bus station in central Nairobi.
C.The killing of more than 70 Ugandans in Kampala.
D.Blasts set off by a Somali group in Uganda’s capital.
正确答案:B
解析:本题为主旨题。新闻报道通常开篇便直接点出报道的主题。录音首句说,肯尼亚警方公布关于一起在内罗比中部某巴士站发生的爆炸事件的情况(an
explosion at a bus station in centralNairobi),B基本是对此处录音关键信息的原词复现,故为答案。A出现在录音末尾,但录音结尾说的是乌干达警方早前发出的恐袭警告,与本篇新闻的主题“肯尼亚这次爆炸事件”不符。C出自录音前面部分,但这是发生在去年7月的事情,也非本篇新闻主题。D利用原词set off进行干扰。
2.
A.On Christmas Eve.
B.Just before midnight.
C.During a security check.
D.In the small hours of the morning.
正确答案:C
解析:本题考查事件发生的时间。新闻后半段在报道爆炸发生的细节时,提到了一个旅行包在装车前过安检时发生了爆炸。C项完全是对该录音细节内容的原词复现,故为答案。A利用末尾的possibleChristmas-time attacks来制造干扰,此处是乌干达警方发出的警告信息,并非爆炸发生的时间,且Christmas—time“圣诞期间”并不等同于ChristmasEve“圣诞前夕”。B、D都颇具迷惑性,但录音只说是准备发出的夜班车,并无具体时间点,不能得出B“就在凌晨前”或D“在凌晨时分”。

1. 对所有中国的大一新生来说,9月是激动人心的日子。许多人都是第一次走出家门,在一个新环境中生活。但在数周后,激动的心情慢慢地被乡愁(homesickness)所取代。乡愁是因为离开家而产生的痛苦之情。他们想念家人、以前的朋友和同学、甚至是自己的旧床铺。有些学生只会觉得有一点孤独、悲伤或焦虑。其他人可能会表现出胃痛或头痛等身体不适的症状。
正确答案: September is an exciting month for every Chinese college
freshman. It’s the first time for many of them to leave home to live in a new
environment. But after a few weeks, excitement gradually gives way to homesickness
which is the distress caused by the separation from home. They miss their family
members, old friends and classmates, or even the old bed. Some students may only
feel a little loneliness, sadness, or anxiety. Others may feel physical symptoms, like
stomachache or headache.
解析:1.翻译第1句中的“9月是激动人心的日子”时,为了符合英文的表达逻辑,应把“日子”转化为“月”,表达为September is an exciting month。2.第2句中的“第一次”,可套用句型it is the first time for sb.to do sth.来表达。“在一个新环境中生活”表目的,故将其译作目的状语,表达为to live in a new

1. 随着环境保护意识的日渐增长,“低碳”(low—carbon)这个词变得非常时尚。在许多领域都出现了这个词,如低碳产品、低碳消费、低碳旅游等。于是,“低碳生活”成为了一种新型的生活方式,旨在尽量减少生活中的二氧化碳排放(carbon dioxide emission)。例如,一些上班族不再以开私家车通勤而自豪,而是骑车或乘坐公共交通工具,并视之为时尚的生活方式。此外,他们还提倡水和其他自然能源的循环利用,并尽可能地做节约能源、有利于环保的事情,希望能够让人类生活的地球更加美丽和舒适。
正确答案: As the consciousness of environmental protection spreads over,
the word “low-carbon” has been very fashionable. It can be found in many aspects,
such as low-carbon products, low-carbon consumption, low-carbon trips and so on.
Therefore, “Low-carbon life” has become a new pattern of lifestyle, aiming to lower
the carbon dioxide emission in living as much as possible. For example, some office

正确答案: My Views on Group Purchasing In recent years, group
purchasing becomes increasingly popular in our life. However, in my opinion,
although it is cheaper and more convenient, we should be discreet when facing group
purchasing. There are two main reasons why I say so. For one thing, you might
lose more money on group purchasing because you will buy something you don’t
really need once you cannot resist the temptation of the low price. That will turn into
another way of waste of money although you intended to save money. For another, the
