2013年对外经济贸易大学211翻译硕士英语考研试题(回忆版)
2013年对外经济贸易大学211翻译硕士英语考研试题回忆版））（回忆版一、单选Part 1 单选今年比较注重基础，注意词组搭配，偏重经贸类的实用性用语 Part 2 改错 与原来的题型变化不大都是关于区分run on sentence, comma splice, choppy, fragment四个错误的选项；注意：不仅要选出句子出现的问题（若无错误，选择correct），还要进行改错，将正确答案写到答题纸上二、阅读总共四篇，都是有关经贸类的文章，后两篇阅读题型与BEC的阅读题型相同，一个为根据上下文，选择正确的句子，另一个是给出五段文章，总结文章大意，六选五三、作文图表题，report, 分析对比美国在2011年六月至十二月的GDP、失业率(unemployment rate)及产量(output),字数为300-350字（字数较去年有所增加）作文：A report :Compare and analyze the unemployment rate,GDP and output between June and December of the US. 300到350词。
附一张经济数据图。
30分额最后一个小时看这个作文，真心无能为力啊，经济数据图真心看的不是很明白。
30分后，最后实在不忍心一分也不得啊，最后一个小时，看数据表看了15分钟愣是无从下手，最后还剩半个小时了，于是乎匆忙写了几句话，写的很烂啊，凑点字数吧。
以后考贸大翻译的同学们平常多读些带经济数据表的新闻报刊文章，多总结些上面的用词，看看他们写作的套路模式，如何分析比较，我觉得主要是背吧，多背过一些英语报刊上的带有数据表的分析文章，背熟背烂了，我觉得应对贸大的硕士英语基础应该不成问题。
还有今年的贸大的选择题，有几个是过往几年的其它学校mti 的真题，没变，大家复习时从各学校2010年的真题开始做。
专题似的做，总结。
改错题，fragment，run on ,choppy, comma splice,弄明白概念看些例子，做题时也不是很难，概念句型百度百科文库有的。

Two agencies, the Ministry of Culture and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, have banned the promotion of " negative historical figures or literary works" for tourism purposes, theoretically ending a longstanding practice by Chinese cities of playing up their ties to racy cultural icons like the lustful Ximen Qing through festivals, theme parks and merchandise.A few lucky destinations in China, like Mao's hometown of Shaoshan in Hunan province, are blessed with the notoriety of a state-approved celebrity, allowing them to rake in tourism dollars. But for most Chinese towns, bringing in tourists is hard work, which is made easier if they can stake a claim to someone famous, whether real, mythical or literary. Disputes can flare up among towns claiming to be the original homes of the same popular character. Just before the Ministry of Culture announced the new rules, Loufan county in Shanxi declared itself hometown of the Monkey King, challenging the same claim made first by Lianyugang City in Jiangsu, according to a recent article on Xinhua's English-language website.Critics say that this kind of cultural infighting is embarrassing to China, especially when attracting foreign dollars is the motive. It is better if these cities manage and protect their own cultural heritage and intangible cultural resources, rather than compete with each other and humiliate themselves.In the past, tourist stunts by Chinese towns have been heavily frowned upon by the public.A sex theme park in southwestern China was demolished before it even opened, after inciting widespread condemnation. Earlier this year, public outcry forced government officials in Zhangjiajie to back away from plans to rename a local mountain "Avatar Hallelujah Mountain" after the popular Hollywood movie. The latest crackdown, however, goes further than any one campaign and promises to lay out strict guidelines for what is appropriate cultural celebration in the coming weeks.汉译英32 近些年来，中国与印度经济均实现了迅猛增长。

是丹·布朗《圣诞的密码》二页A4 纸，较易懂，个别专用名词生词如HoolaHoop,Exeter baseball cap,Epcot,Phillies cap....讲的是圣诞节Brown 家庭的习俗Christmas Code 。
大致文意是作者和三个兄弟姐妹还有留学交换生Bea 一起找线索的故事，谜底就是EPCOT 五个字母，其实就是布朗父母给他们的礼物，那就是去Walt DisneyEpcot Center，大家都兴奋地手舞足蹈，最后就说这是最美好的一个圣诞节。
原文：Every family has its own holiday traditions. In the Brown household, Christmaswas always a time of delicious food, sing-alongs, colorful gifts, and mysterious codes.Yes, codes.When I was a kid, no Christmas morning was complete without the annual treasure hunt.When the last present under the Christmas tree had been opened, my siblings and I knew thatthere still remained one "big" present hidden somewhere in the house for us to find. Our onlyhope of locating it was a cryptic clue that traditionally resided in a lone envelope perched high onthe tree, out of our reach.One year the envelope contained a particularly mind-boggling treasure hunt that mybrother, sister and I still recall as The "TOCEP" Christmas Mystery. (In fact, this treasure huntdirectly inspired the scene on page 111 of The Da Vinci Code.)That was the year we had a foreign exchange student living with us. Bea wasSouth African and understandably was somewhat overwhelmed by the frenziedanticipation that led up to an American Christmas. Nonetheless, she embraced thedecorating, singing, and cooking with a zeal that made the holidays doubly special forus that year. So it was with great happiness, on Christmas morning, after all the presentswere opened, that my parents handed Bea the mysterious envelope and explained to her theBrown tradition of a Christmas Quest.Looking amazed that such a tradition could exist, Bea excitedly opened the envelope. Thepoem inside announced that this year's quest involved locating five letters of the alphabet, whichhad been hidden around the house. According to the poem’s final stanza, the first letter we needed to find was "T."You seek a letter in a nook(It's very hard to see).But of the places you might look,There’s just one spot for "T."Only one spot for T?My little brother Greg was the first to figure it out. He leapt up and dashed into the kitchen. We all ran after him as he retrieved a stool, dragged it into the breakfastnook, climbed up onto the counter, and grabbed the canister in which my mother kept her tea bags. Sure enough, inside was a note card emblazoned with the letter "T."Brilliant!Along with the letter "T" we found another clue, which ingeniously guided usdown to the basement where we found the letter "O" taped to an O-shaped HoolaHoop.Again, fiendishly clever!From there more clues led us all over the house. In the kitchen we found the letter"C" stuffed in a Vitamin C container. In the mud-room, the letter "E" was hiddeninside my Exeter baseball cap (bearing that same letter).By then, we had located four letters (T-O-C-E), and still we felt no closer tounderstanding our mysterious prize. We hoped the fifth and final letter would make it all come clear. The final clue, however, was baffling.The final letter in your quest,Is simple as can be.It's hidden in a special roomQuite natural for a "P."A special room quite natural for a P?I looked in the pantry around the canned peas. Nothing.My little brother checked his bedroom for his Phillies cap. Nothing.A natural place for "P"?It was Beatrice, our exchange student (having learned a good amount of American slang), who suddenly gasped, jumped to her feet, and dashed up the stairs. For a moment, my siblings and I thought she was ill... but then we heard her shriek with joy. We raced upstairs to find Beain the bathroom, laughing hysterically and pointing into the toilet. We peered inside, and there,to our enormous delight, we found the letter "P" taped inside the toilet bowl."P" in the toilet!The joke left all four of us kids rolling on the floor in hysterics. Surely my parentshad to be the two funniest people alive. Finally, when we all could breathe again, wehurried back to the living room to decipher the meaning of these five mysteriouslettersT-O-C-E-P?We spread the letters out on the living room floor and stared at them.T...O...C...E...P?They meant nothing to us.It was my younger sister Valerie who saw it first. She drew a startled breath andspun to my parents in disbelief. "No!" she exclaimed. "Really?"My parents were beaming. "Really. We leave tomorrow morning."The rest of us kids watched in rapt animation as little Valerie victoriously rearranged the five letters TOCEP.... to spell one magical word: EPCOT. Instantly, all four kids were dancing around the room, whooping for joy, chanting "Epcot! Epcot!" Even our exchange student Bea had heard of Walt Disney World's Epcot Center, and she joined in the dance. It was a dream come true. The very next morning, we allboarded a plane for Epcot.It was the best Christmas ever.。

Translate the following passage into Chinese :《Give respect and get performance 》新浪 @ 鬼谷一喵 姚洋老师授课丗1312-6505-007电联It sounds clichéd, but to get the best from your people, you have to showrespect for them. This can result in surprising decisions. There was a time when some people regarded workers in England as lazy and careless, but I recognized that England has a very strong appreciation of craftsmanship and tradition, so wepurchased a high-end footwear company, Church’s shoes. People in Italy thought this was crazy.Our first challenge was to decide what to do with the factories. Church’sowned a plant in the middle of Northampton that employed 600 people, and the smart move appeared to be to relocate it out of town, which would give us more space at less cost. But when I visited the factory, I saw that peopl e’s lives were organizedaround its location. Most employees lived nearby and would go home for lunch. If we moved them out of town, we’d be robbing them of an hour at home and forcing them to bring sandwiches to work. Their quality of life would be compromised, and they wouldn’t be getting anything in return. So we kept the factory in town.That decision has paid dividends. We retained nearly all the company’s veryhardworking and talented people, who have rewarded us with increased productivity. And we’ve proved a larger point: English workers are both cheaper and more industrious than Continental workers.You could say that work is about duties. People have a duty to work hardfor me, but I have a duty to respect them as individuals. Another duty I have is to help them learn. That’s a duty I owe to the company as well as to my employees, because a company whose managers take seriously the obligation to help their people improve will be a lot more competitive. Prada is rather good at developing talented employees. Many of our senior managers joined us as young people, and many of the people who have left us have gone on to launch successful businesses of their own.2.

p1是07年专八阅读真题textA，关于Welsh语言和民族resurgence的。
The Welsh language has always been the ultimate marker of Welsh identity, but a generation ago it looked as if Welsh would go the way of Manx. once widely spoken on the isle of Man but now extinct. Government financing and central planning, however, have helped reverse the decline of Welsh. Road signs and official public documents are written in both Welsh and English, and schoolchildren are required to learn both languages. Welsh is now one of the most successful of Europe’s regional languages, spoken by more than a half-million of the count ry’s three million people.The revival of the language, particularly among young people, is part of a resurgence of national identity sweeping through this small, proud nation. Last month Wales marked the second anniversary of the opening of the National Assembly, the first parliament to be convened here since 1404. The idea behind devolution was to restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom. With most of the people and wealth, England has always had bragging rights. The partial transfer of legislative powers from Westminster, implemented by Tony Blair, was designed to give the other members of the club- Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales-a bigger say and to counter centrifugal forces that seemed to threaten the very idea of the union.The Welsh showed little enthusiasm for devolution. Whereas the Scots voted overwhelmingly for a parliament, the vote for a Welsh assembly scraped through by less than one percent on a turnout of less than 25 percent. Its powers were proportionately limited. The Assembly can decide how money from Westminster or the European Union is spent. It cannot, unlike its counterpart in Edinburgh, enact laws. But now that it is here, the Welsh are growing to like their Assembly. Many people would like it to have more powers. Its importance as figurehead will grow with the opening in 2003, of a new debating chamber, one of many new buildings that are transforming Cardiff from a decaying seaport into a Baltimore-style waterfront city. Meanwhile a grant of nearly two million dollars from the European Union will tackle poverty. Wales is one of the poorest regions in Western Europe- only Spain, Portugal, and Greece have a lower standard of living.Newspapers and magazines are filled with stories about great Welsh men and women, boosting self-esteem. To familiar faces such as Dylan Thomas and Richard Burton have been added new icons such as Catherine Zeta-Jones, the movie star, and Bryn Terfel, the opera singer. Indigenous foods like salt marsh lamb are in vogue. And Wales now boasts a national airline. Awyr Cymru. Cymru, which means “land of compatriots,” is the Welsh name for Wales. The red dragon, the nation’s symbol since the time of King Arthur, is everywhere- on T-shirts, rugby jerseys and even cell phone covers.“Until very recent times most Welsh people had this feeling of being second-class citizens,” saidDyfan Jones, an 18-year-old student. It was a warm summer night, and I was sitting on the grass with a group of young people in Llanelli, an industrial town in the south, outside the rock music venue of the National Eisteddfod, Wales’s annual cultural festival. The disused factory in front of us echoed to the sounds of new Welsh bands.“There was almost a genetic tendency for lack of confidence,” Dyfan co ntinued. Equally comfortable in his Welshness as in his membership in the English-speaking, global youth culture and the new federal Europe, Dyfan, like the rest of his generation, is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. “We used to think. We can’t do anything, we’re only Welsh. Now I think that’s changing.”（源自/view/2f88c61dff00bed5b9f31d5f.html）p2是讲网络个人信息隐私不安全的，比较好找，选项直接。

Translate the following passage into Chinese:The Literature of Knowledge and the Literature of PowerWhat is it that we mean by literature? Popularly, and amongst the thoughtless, it is held to include everything that is printed in a book. Little logic is required to disturb that definition. The most thoughtless person is easily made aware that in the idea ofliterature one essential element is some relation to a general and common interest of man—so that what applies only to a local, or professional, or merely personal interest, even though presenting itself in the shape of a book, will not belong to Literature. So far the definition is easily narrowed; and it is as easily expanded. For not only is much that takes a station in books not literature; but inversely, much that really is literature never reaches a station in books. The weekly sermons of Christendom, that vast pulpit literature which acts so extensively upon the popular mind—to warn, to uphold, to renew, to comfort, to alarm—does not attain the sanctuary of libraries in the ten-thousandth part of its extent. The Drama again—as, for instance, the finest of Shakespeare's plays in England, and all leading Athenian plays in the noontide of the Attic stage—operated as a literature on the public mind, and were (according to the strictest letter of that term) published through the audiences that witnessed their representation some time before they were published as things to be read; and they were published in this scenical mode of publication with much more effect than they could have had as books during ages of costly copying or of costly printing.2.

2013年对外经济贸易大学英语专业（基础英语）真题试卷(总分：88.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、翻译(总题数：2，分数：4.00)1.Paraphrase each of the following passages. Try not to copy the original sentences. Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET(10% , 5 points each)."The Antarctic is the vast source of cold on our planet, just as the sun is the source of our heat, and it exerts tremendous control on our climate, "[Jacques]Cousteau told the camera. " The cold ocean water around Antarctica flows north to mix with warmer water from the tropics, and its upwelling helps to cool both the surface water and our atmosphere. Yet the fragility of this regulating system is now threatened by human activity. "(From "Captain Cousteau")（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________2."While the Sears Tower is arguably the greatest achievement in skyscraper engineering so far, it"s unlikely that architects and engineers have abandoned the quest for the world"s tallest building. The question is: Just how high can a building go? Structural engineer William LeMessurier has designed a skyscraper nearly one-half mile high, twice as tall as the Sears Tower. And architect Robert Sobel claims that existing technology could produce a 500-story building. "(From Ron Bachman)（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________二、阅读理解(总题数：2，分数：20.00)Mayor Tom Bradley calls Los Angeles " the most ethnically diverse city in the world, " and he"s surely right. Los Angeles is the new Ellis Island, the place futurists tout as the America of tomorrow. The demographic changes that are beginning to transform the rest of the country are here already. Just a decade ago, Los Angeles was largely white and homogeneous. Today there are no majorities. The 1990 census says the city is 40 percent Latino, 37 percent Anglo and 23 percent black and Asian. Thanks to immigration—legal and illegal—greater Los Angeles has nearly as many Mexicans as Monterrey, more Salvadorans than any city but San Salvador and the largest Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese and Philippine populations in the country. Nearly 100 languages are spoken in the city"s schools. More than 300, 000 newcomers flood in each year, pitting blacks against Hispanics and Asians for jobs and housing in a city where both are scarce. Los Angeles has not been a triumph for the melting pot, at least not yet. Even before the riots, it sometimes resembled a city under siege. Los Angeles is a town where merchants pack guns, where inner-city neighborhoods are divided into precincts with names like " Little Beirut" or " the Kill Zone, " where wealthy neighborhoods are fenced off and posted with warnings Of ARMED RESPONSE. "This is a bunker mentality, " says the head of one of L. A. " s 3, 500 private security firms. Lacking any center, barricaded into nervous camps, Los Angeles has little common ground upon which its diverse citizenry can meet. Nowhere in the country is the gap between rich and poor so evident; nowhere are racial or ethnic relations so complex. Mexicans mistrust Central Americans. Hispanics and Asians coexist uneasily in many neighborhoods. Black looters who torched Asian markets justified themselves as avenging perceived racism. Amid the social fragmentation, blacks are especially isolated. Once southern California"s ascendant minority, African-Americans represent only 13 percent of the city"s population, and that percentage is shrinking. L. A. "s Latinos, by contrast, doubled over the past decade, all but displacing blacks in Watts, home of the 1965 riots, and encroaching on African-American neighborhoods throughout the city. There are no quick fixes to such profound social changes. Politicians will cobble together emergency economic and social programs. Ultimately, though, the solution to L. A. " s crisis will be the very diversity that now poses such challenges. Drive down Melrose Avenue and you are struck by the city"s tremendous ethnic vitality—and its potential. Iranian and Russian restaurants vie with Jewish markets. Armenian exporters jostle Japanese importers. Thai Town gives way to Koreatown which gives way to Little Central America. This is more than a festival of international cuisine. These are thriving businesses with spreading links to greater Los Angeles and beyond. " L. A. is America"s first true world city, " says Safi Qureshey, a Pakistani immigrant whose company, AST Research, Inc. , has become the third largest U. S. computer exporter. You hear a lot of talk these days about Pacific Rim-ism, and how ethnic diversity is the key to the 21st century. In L. A. , much of thattalk is true. Malaysian or Thai businessmen in Los Angeles keep their links to their homelands. Commerce often follows. "This is the modern version of the traditional melting pot, " says Phil Burgess at the Center for the New West. "These new Americans learn English. They plug into the system. But they " assimilate" us as much as we " assimilate" them. " Many of these successes are in neighborhoods that today seem so troubled. Asian communities are quickly vaulting into the middle class. If some Hispanic neighborhoods seem overrun with impoverished newcomers, others are becoming established centers of enterprise. Significantly, Hispanic neighborhoods were largely spared from rioting and looting. The reason is part economics, part ethnicity. Latinos and Asians have a stake in the city in a way that most blacks have not, explains L. A. sociologist Joel Kotkin. "They start more businesses and buy their homes. You don"t torch what you own. " What"s more, Asians and Latinos generally stay put once they make it, spreading their wealth to their neighbors. Blacks, by contrast, tend to behave like many whites. They head for the suburbs, leaving behind a black "community" of predominantly young poor. That isolation must end if Los Angeles is to recover and prosper—and it may well end sooner rather than later. The wealth generated by thriving ethnic businesses will raise the communities around them. That day may be too far off for the rioters, but what"s encouraging is that so many Angelenos still managed to see that vision through the smoke of L. A. "s fires.（分数：10.00）(1).Which of the following is NOT true about Los Angeles?（分数：2.00）A.Immigration makes it the most ethnically diverse city in the world.B.There are not enough jobs and houses for the immigrants.tino accounts for the largest percentage of the population.D.Some people came to settle down in L.A.through illegal means.(2).Which of the following can best describe the city according to the author?（分数：2.00）A.People of many different cultures mingle well in the city.B.Among different ethnic groups there are constant conflicts.C.Little communication takes place because of language barriers.D.Rich people are a threat to the rest of the people in the city.(3).Among all the groups of people, the population of______is shrinking and its people are isolated.（分数：2.00）A.MexicansB.HispanicsnsD.African-Americans(4).To adapt to the social changes, the way out for L.A.may be______.（分数：2.00）A.what causes the problems—diversityB.some effective economic and social programsC.a festival of international cuisineD.getting people to move out of the city(5)."You don"t torch what you own" means______.（分数：2.00）A.You don"t give what you have created to others.B.You don"t want others to destroy your property.C.You don"t want to destroy your own property.D.You are not satisfied with what you have.South Korea wallows in existential angst The phenomenal success of Gangnam Style, a video by Korean rap artist Psy that has been viewed 280m times, is a quirky(and rather catchy)indication of South Korea"s rising fortunes. The dance video gently sends up the nouveau-riche, plastic surgery-enhanced lifestyle that has been made possible by an economic transformation so extraordinary it is known as " the miracle on the Han River". But something curious is happening. Just as South Korea is growing more confident on the world stage—culturally, economically and diplomatically—it is going through something of an existential crisis at home. Suicides are drastically higher, fertility is perilously low and the electorate is flirting with the idea of jettisoning traditional presidential candidates in favour of an untested IT entrepreneur. It seems an odd moment to be having a national nervous breakdown. Samsung and Hyundai have established themselves as premier consumer brands from Canberra to Cupertino. Korea"s per capita income of $30, 000 is fast closing in on the EU average of $33, 000. And whether it is winning $ 20bn nuclear contracts in Abu Dhabi, pouring money into emerging markets such as India, China and Brazil, or vying with Japan to be Washington"s best friend in Asia, Seoul is having a global impact as never before. That is not how it feels at home. The more that theresidents of the fashionable Gangnam district live it up, the more Koreans feel their economic model is skewed towards a privileged elite. Some statistics suggest Korea is among the most unequal of advanced countries. Chaebol conglomerates, the pride of the nation abroad, are considered by many to be economic bullies at home, blamed for squeezing suppliers and pushing small businesses into bankruptcy. Whatever the impressive macroeconomic data suggest, more Koreans feel poor, overworked and weighed down by social pressures. Chief among their concerns is the stress and expense of putting their children through "exam hell" , even in the knowledge that there are too many graduates chasing too few well-paid jobs. No wonder Korea"s birth rate has plummeted—to 1. 23, well below the 2. 2 replacement rate and lower even than Japan, at 1.4. The outgoing conservative government of Lee Myung-bak was good at putting on an international show. It hosted the G20 summit with aplomb. It attracted attention with its "green growth" agenda. But John Delury, assistant professor at Yonsei university, says it neglected domestic social and economic issues. Suicide rates have doubled over the past decade and are now the main cause of death for people under 40. The position of women has advanced at a much slower pace than the economy. Nowhere is the sense of dissatisfaction more apparent than in the campaign for December"s presidential election. The surprise package has been Ahn Chul-soo, a university professor and founder of Ahnlab, an antivirus company, who has gained a cult following especially among Korean youth. The 50-year-old independent—a sort of "anti-politician"—is polling above 40 per cent even though he only declared his presidential ambition this month. Mr. Ahn is funning against two establishment figures. Park Geun-hye is a conservative from the same party as the presidential incumbent. On the liberal establishment side, the Democratic United party has selected Moon Jae-in, aide to a former president. It is a measure of how much Koreans want a break from the past that Ms. Park saw fit this week to apologize for the human rights abuses of her father, the dictator Park Chung-hee, who ran the country for 18 years until he was assassinated in 1979.(On hearing of his fate, his pragmatic daughter"s first words were said to have been "Is the border secure?")Ms. Park has felt it necessary to ditch her impeccably conservative credentials by moving towards the centre. She has taken to talking about " economic democratisation" , a buzz phrase that embraces the idea of weakening the stranglehold of chaebol and fostering a more even distribution of wealth. Mr. Ahn, whose supporters compare him with Barack Obama—the promising 2008 vintage, not the corked 2012 version—represents a rejection of old-style polities. "Moon is the man of the past, Park is a relic of the past, Ahn is the man of the future, " is how Jang Sung-min, a former parliamentarian puts it. The three-way race makes the election result highly unpredictable. Many expect Mr. Ahn and Mr. Moon to come to some sort of last-minute pact. If they do not, they risk splitting the liberal vote and handing victory to Ms. Park, a result that would appear to be at odds with the anti-establishment mood. One possible interpretation of the political mess in general and the popularity of the political novice Mr. Ahn in particular is that Korea is going through a crisis of democratic legitimacy. That would be quite the wrong conclusion. The country that threw off dictatorship in 1987 is now as robust, if imperfect, a democracy as any in Asia, a rebuke to those who argue that Confucian societies or "Asian values" are somehow incompatible with the ballot box. Far from suggesting that democracy is failing Korea, the noisy tussle around the presidency shows a system adapting to the popular will. That, at least, should brighten the national mood.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author mean by "South Korea wallows in existential angst"?（分数：2.00）A.South Korea is currently experiencing the existential anxiety.B.South Korea now indulges in the existential anger.C.South Korea ties itself with the existential logic.D.South Korea is seeking a new way out of existential crisis.(2).Of the following, what is NOT true about Korea"s "existential crises at home"?（分数：2.00）A.Koreans in general are having a nervous breakdown nationally.B.Fertility is perilously low.C.Suicides are drastically higher.D.South Korea becomes ever more unconfident economically.(3).Which of the following statements is TRUE about Chaebol conglomerates?（分数：2.00）A.They are not considered economic bullies at home.B.They are regarded as pride of the nation abroad.C.They have nothing to do with pushing small businesses to bankruptcy.D.All of above.(4).Compared with Barack Obama, what is the image of Mr. Ahn in his supporters" eyes?（分数：2.00）A.He is an establishment figure.B.He is from a minority group that represents the past.C.He has working experience in an enterprise as Obama does.D.He represents a rejection of old-style and man of the future.(5).According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE on Korea"s democracy?（分数：2.00）A.It has a bright future.B.The democracy is faring in South Korea.C.Korea is going through a crisis of democratic legitimacy.D.Confucian societies or "Asian values" are incompatible with the democracy.三、选词填空(总题数：2，分数：20.00)Choose the correct headings for each of the following paragraphs marked with B to F.

Cultural abundance unlike a building boom vi. We"ve reached a tipping point, or at least turned a corner. vii. Informal relations viii. Anyone can be a maker of culture. ix. Whatever happened to the television test pattern? Example Answer Paragraph A ix A No more than 20 years ago, most TV stations routinely signed off the air for at least a few hours a day. At the end of their broadcast period, stations would slap a test pattern up on the screen until the next morning"s programming began. The test pattern—occasionally an absurd drawing of a Native American but more often a simple geometric shape adorned with call letters—was a great symbol of cultural dead space, of a moment when nothing was happening, when nothing was being transmitted, save perhaps for a monotonous electronic hum. While some stations still do sign off, they are increasingly rare in a hyperkinetic, always-open America that has shifted fully into 24-7 mode. If the test pattern symbolized a moment of silence in the cultural process, then it"s only fitting that its long run has effectively been canceled. B Similar developments range far beyond the small screen. During the past few decades, we have been experiencing what can aptly be called a "culture boom" : a massive and prolonged increase in art, music, literature, video, and other forms of creative expression. Everywhere we look, the cultural marketplace is open and ready for business: The number of places where you can buy books has more than doubled during the past 20 years, while the number of libraries has increased by about 17 percent. More than 25, 000 video rental stores are scattered across the United States, effectively functioning as second-run theaters and art houses even in the most remote backwaters. More than 110 symphony orchestras have been founded since 1980, reports The Wall Street Journal, which also notes that the national 1997 -98 theatrical season "raked in a record $1.3 billion in ticket sales. " About 3 , 500 commercial radio stations and 670 commercial television stations have come on the air since 1970; during the same period, cable viewership has quadrupled. C The increasingly important World Wide Web has provided space for all sorts of commercial and noncommercial culture, ranging from authorized sites to a reader-compiled database of more than 180, 000 movies to translations of Dante"s sonnets to fan-generated art. In video and music production, where equipment costs were once prohibitive enough to seriously limit access, there is a flourishing, self-conscious "do-it-yourself" movement that has taken great advantage of cheaper technology and distribution methods. In a world of $ 100 VCRs, bargain-basement PCs, CD-rewritable drives, and other technologies that allow users to copy and manipulate images, words, and sound in ever-new and seamless ways, even the sharp distinction between producer and consumer seems increasingly blurred. D Gone for good are the days when serious cultural critics, whether on the right or the left, could nod toward Tocqueville and Mrs. Trollope and bemoan a scarcity of "culture" in America. Instead, the contemporary descendants of such folks are more likely to make the sort of claim Slate"s Jacob Weisberg did recently in a review of economist Tyler Cowen"s In Praise of Commercial Culture. After granting that the United States does in fact offer a dizzying array of cultural opportunities, Weisberg complains: "What we lack is a flourishing common, or national, culture. Contemporary classical music goes unperformed, foreign films have no audience, and hardly anyone reads contemporary poetry. Meanwhile, pap abounds. " There are, in fact, healthy, if small, markets for the fare Weisberg prefers. The problem isn"t a lack of choice in cultural matters: You want Mozart, Mingus, and Marilyn Manson ? No problem—they"re all available(and probably at a discount). Rather, the issue is precisely a profusion of choice in cultural matters; You want Mozart, Mingus—and Marilyn Manson? E By virtually any measure, cultural activity has been enjoying an expansion that stacks up to Wall Street"s long-running bull market. Interestingly, the culture boom has, for the most part, seen older art forms supplemented and preserved, rather than paved over. The past 30 years have seen a number of developments that have greatly increased the amount and variety of TV-related culture available. The average home now has 2. 3 sets,compared to 1. 4 sets in 1970. Cable is now in 65. 3 percent of all households with TVs(compared to 6.7 percent in 1970). The average subscriber receives 30 to 60 channels, typically including several devoted not merely to shopping but to new and old feature films, reruns of old shows, documentaries, and other sorts of specialized programming. Omnipresent video rental stores give virtually everyone access to a film library that a few decades ago even a millionaire wouldn"t have been able to afford. F The culture boom is similarly reshaping book publishing. While an enormous amount of ink has been spilled over the demise of print culture, the death of so-called mid-list authors, and the threat to diversity posed by mega-mergers among publishers, actual book sales and related figures suggest a very different picture. Between 1975 and 1996, the number of books sold increased by 817 million units annually. Fifty years ago, Tyler Cowen points out in In Praise of Commercial Culture, there were only 85, 000 titles in print in the United States. Today, that figure stands at about 1. 3 million. The increase in the number of books available has been matched by an increase in places to get books. Between 1985 and 1993, for instance, the number of "ultimate companies"—outlets selling books in some form or another—rose from 9, 200 to almost 20, 000. Such staggering numbers have, of course, been eclipsed by Web sellers such as Amazon, com and Barnes & Noble"s onlineoutfit(barnesandnoble. com). Boasting sites that include several million titles, Amazon and Barnes & Noble have been joined in cyberspace by used-book sites that combine lists from hundreds of used-hook stores nationwide. The Web retailers are also leading the way in increasing access to foreign tides that have traditionally been very difficult to find in the States.（分数：10.00）(1).Paragraph B 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________(2).Paragraph C 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________(3).Paragraph D 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________(4).Paragraph E 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________(5).Paragraph F 1（分数：2.00）填空项1:__________________The backlash against the rich has gone global 1Defending the French government"s recent decision to raise the top rate of income tax to 75 per cent, Pierre Moscovici, the country"s finance minister, told Le Monde: " This is not a punitive measure, but a patriotic measure. " The rich, he explained, are being given an opportunity to make "an exceptional contribution" to solving France"s financial problems. I am sure they are very grateful. France is clearly taking a big risk by raising its tax rates so much higher than those of its neighbours, 2The truth is that the new French government is at the extreme end of a new global trend: an international backlash against the wealthy that is reshaping politics from Europe to the U. S. to China. David Cameron, the British prime minister, has offered to roll out the red carpet for French tax exiles. But even in Britain, where the top tax rate is 45 per cent, there is a new mood of antagonism towards the rich. 3 In the U. S. , meanwhile, Barack Obama is campaigning to increase taxes on "millionaires and billionaires". It is true that the tax rises that the U. S. president wants would be laughably small by French standards. Mr Obama merely wants to raise the top rate from 35 per cent to 39. 6 per cent, as well as increasing taxes on capital gains and dividends. 4 The French socialists made great play of Nicolas Sarkozy"s allegedly " bling" lifestyle and friendships with the super-rich. In similar vein, the Obama campaign has attacked Mitt Romney as a tax-dodging representative of "the 1 per cent"—and mocked his wife"s ownership of a dressage horse. These tactics sound risky because Americans are traditionally said to admire the wealthy , rather than to envy them. But the Obama camp can read polls. By a margin of 64 per cent to 33 per cent, Americans are in favour of higher taxes on those earning more than $250, 000. Political sensitivities about the gap between the wealthy and the rest are not confined to the west. The lifestyles of the rich and powerful is now the most sensitive and dangerous topic in Chinese polities. The website of Bloomberg News was recently shut down in China, apparently as punishment for the publication of an article on the family wealth of a high rank official in China. Why is all this happening? As Zanny Minton Beddoes of The Economist writes in a recent essay, " a majority of the world"s citizens now live in countries where the gap between the rich and the rest is a lot bigger than it was a generation ago". 5As Ms. Minton Beddoes points out, in the U. S. "the portion of national income going to the richest 1 per cent tripled from 8 per cent in the 1970s to 24 per cent in 2007". Eventually that kind of shift is liable tospark a political backlash. The trigger for that reaction has been the Great Recession, which has increased the pressure on the living standards of ordinary people, while exposing misbehaviour at the top. Western politicians, from Barack Obama to Francois Hollande are seeking to capture and channel this new mood. In Asia, where the Great Recession has hit less hard, other factors may be at work. The internet and the rise of microblogging have made it easier to spread information and to whip up indignation about the gap between the hard-pressed worker and the super-rich. Choose the following sentences marked A to E to complete the above article. Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. A. The trend has been most extreme in the west. B. It is never a great sign when politicians start appealing to taxpayers" patriotism. C. Even conservative politicians dare not defend bankers" pay. D. But it is a mistake to portray the Hollande administration as Socialist dinosaurs. E. But some of the president"s rhetoric has distinct echoes of the successful Hollande campaign in France.（分数：10.00）填空项1:__________________填空项1:__________________填空项1:__________________填空项1:__________________填空项1:__________________四、选择题(总题数：20，分数：40.00)4.The man at the wheel is the fastest athlete in the world today, who has just taken delivery of his new car, thelatest______of the Toyota Supra.（分数：2.00）unchB.versionC.ventureD.mode5.As policymakers rush to implement reforms in response to one financial calamity, they are ______create distortions that pave the way for the next disaster.（分数：2.00）A.apt toB.apt atC.risk toD.risk in6.As everyone understands, struggling______ economies must find a way to boost their net exports.（分数：2.00）A.surroundingB.minorC.ambientD.peripheral7.I seem to hear the lyrics with his humming: ______what may, I"ll love you until my dying day.（分数：2.00）esB.Will comeinge8.Apart from the budget office and other disinterested parties that study the law, each side in the debate uses research sponsored by interest groups, often______, to support its case.（分数：2.00）A.slopedB.sloppyC.tippedD.slanted9.All the doors were of stainless steel and the whole was kept______by the cleaning squad.（分数：2.00）A.right on the noseB.spick and spanC.under the wireD.safe and sound10.It is an irony of fate that I myself have been the recipient of excessive admiration and______ from my fellow-being, through no fault, and no merit, of my own.（分数：2.00）A.curtsyB.contemptC.reverenceD.courtesy11.The system, furthermore, helps the company in accessing up-to-date publishing information and sales analysis, which have become______of the retail business.（分数：2.00）A.part and partakeB.odds and endsC.part and parcelD.facts and figures12.For Japan, with a large share of its exports destined for Europe, a deeper crisis there would ______growth.（分数：2.00）A.take its toll onB.send away forC.bring a charge home toD.put a check on13.The 15 "recommended goods" have photos and resumes with their "starting prices" , ______ their expected monthly pay, ranging from RMB2000 -3000.（分数：2.00）A.e. g.B.viz.C.n. b.D.vs.14."Let us go forth to lead the land we love.

二、Paragraphs translation: (90 points)
1. Translate the following passage into Chinese :
《Give respect and get performance》
It sounds cliché
d, but to get the best from your people, you have to show
respect for them. This can result in surprising decisions. There was a time when some people regarded workers in England as lazy and careless, but I recognized that
England has a very strong appreciation of craftsmanship and tradition, so we
purchased a high-e nd footwear company, Church’s shoes. People in Italy thought this was crazy.
Our first challenge was to decide what to do with the factories. Church’s
owned a plant in the middle of Northampton that employed 600 people, and the smart
move appeared to be to relocate it out of town, which would give us more space at
less cost. But when I visited the factory, I saw that peopl e’s lives were organized
around its location. Most employees lived nearby and would go home for lunch. If we
moved them out of town, we’d be robbing them of an hour at home and forcing them to bring sandwiches to work. Their quality of life would be compromised, and they
wouldn’t be getting anything in return. So we kept the factory in town.
That decision has paid dividends. We retained nearly all the company’s very hardworking and talented people, who have rewarded us with increased productivity.
And we’ve proved a larger point: English workers are both cheaper and more
industrious than Continental workers.
You could say that work is about duties. People have a duty to work hard
for me, but I have a duty to respect them as individuals. Another duty I have is to help
them learn. That’s a duty I owe to the company as well as to my employees, because a company whose managers take seriously the obligation to help their people improve
will be a lot more competitive. Prada is rather good at developing talented employees.
Many of our senior managers joined us as young people, and many of the people who
have left us have gone on to launch successful businesses of their own.
2. Translate the following passage into English :
《重用年轻经理》
我特别推崇年轻人。
我们总是花费过多时间去担心他们的滥性和吸食大麻问题，而忽略了他们的精
力和理想，这恰恰会产生巨大的生产力。
出于这个原因，我不相信在最底层开始年
轻的经理。
他们无法学到更多的东西，我也不能从他们所懂的东西中受益。
当我雇用年轻人时，那是因为他们能够为我提供一些东西。
他们必须明白公司
中的其他人都在做什么。
我可不希望一个年轻的市场人员去花时间做针线活，因为
我需要她清楚的明白年轻顾客最需要什么。
你得让年轻的一代去体验这个世界，这
并不意味着花时间呆在诸如在纽约，巴黎和洛杉矶这种地方。
普拉达需要一些了解
非洲的年轻人。
当我展望未来时，我相信我们还会犯更多的错误。
但是我坚信，只要我们坚持
我们的原则，坚持在公司高层安排一些外向型的年轻人，这些错误都不会是致命的。
