(12) Across the country, prices are slashed on clothing, electronics, home furnishings and more, (11) but London is the place for serious shopping and you can certainly pick up some amazing bargains. (12) The sales start on Boxing Day—26th, December and continue for the month of January, but the keenest bargain hunters get there early to be first through the doors, (12) In Oxford Street queues formed outside shops ahead of pre-dawn openings for the start of their sales. At Brent Cross, in north London, more than 1 ,000 people were queuing at 3:30a. m. for the ' Next' clothing store's sale which began at 4 a. m. Some people even camped outside the shops to be the first in the line.(13) Some people are taking their friends shopping with them and buying their Christmas presents in the sales. A practical but unromantic way of making sure you get the gift you really want. For a less exciting but less stressful shopping experience, online retailers are also getting in on the act with January sales of their own. (13) The most organized of all are those who are already doing their present shopping for next Christmas in the Jyuary" sales.Key:11.C 12.A 13.DQuestions 14 to 17 are based on the following passage.(14)Ballroom dancing used to be seen as something rather unfashionable that old people might do. (15) For the past five years though, the popularity of ballroom dancing has soared thanks to a reality TV show. Strictly Come Dancing is one of the big TV shows. ( 16) Millions of people tune in every Saturday night to watch the show which airs from September right up to Christmas. (16) In the show a number of professional ballroom dancers each dance with a celebrity. Every week they have to learn a different ballroom dance and perform it live on TV on Saturday night. The show demonstrates how glamorous ballroom dancing is. The celebrities get to wear colorful dresses and suits to dance in, and it looks like a lot of fun. The TV programme also shows what good exercise it can be to ballroom dance and what hard work is involved in learning the dances and performing them properly. Dance schools around the country have seen a boost in the number of people wanting to learn how to dance.(17) And it's not only old people who are interested. Lots of children and young people in their 20s are keen to learn.Key: 14.B 15.D 16.A 17.CQuestions 18 to 20 are based on the following passage.(18) Recently, a couple in New Zealand were forbidden from naming their baby son 4Real. Even though New Zealand has quite liberal rules about naming children, names beginning with a number are not allowed. They decided to call him Superman instead. In many countries around the world, unusual names for children are becoming more popular, especially since the increasing trend for celebrities to give their children unusual names. (19) Some parents choose names which come from popular culture.For example, there have been six boys named Gandalf after the character in the Lord of the Rings novels and films. Equally names related to sport are fairly common —since 1984, 36 children have been called Arsenal after the football team. Other parents like to make up names, or combine names to make their own unique version, a method demonstrated by Jordan, the British model, who recently invented the name Tidarnii for her daughter by combining the names Thea and Amy (the two grandmothers) - She was quoted as saying that the accent and double letters were added tomake the name 'more exotic'. (20) Other countries have much stricter rules when it comes to naming children. Countries including Japan, Denmark, Spain, Germany and Argentina have an approved list of names from which parents must choose.Key: 18.C 19.D 20.ASECTION C NEWS BROADCASTNews Item IEleven fishing boat crew who had been stranded since October in a remote part of Russia's Far East have been rescued after sheltering nearly three months at an abandoned military base. (21 )The eight men and three women took refuge at the base after their small boat collided on October 10th. Their attempts to fix one of the boats did not succeed, (22) and they had to remain at the abandoned base where there were only flour and -cooking fat. Other supplies at the base, which was abandoned in 2003 including Christmas ornaments, and the crew members put them up on a small tree inside their quarters, but supplies began running low and early this week, five set off on foot across snow fields. On Friday, after fours days of trudging, they reached a working military radio station, (23) the center called rescuers and helicopters were sent to take the eleven to the regional capital.Key:21.B 22.C 23.ANews Item 2(24) Spain's King Juan Carlos with 32 years on the throne turns 70 Saturday, but after years of undeniable adulation among Spaniards for putting down an attempted coup in 1981 , (25) he's recently faced more difficult times. Small groups of leftists have burned his photo, and fiery criticism has also come from the right with one leading conservative radio host calling for him to step down. Juan Carlos fired back with a rare public defense of his reign in a recent speech. "It's been the longest period of stability and prosperity in Spain ever in a parliamentary monarchy " , the King said.Key:24.B25.DNews Item 3It goes against religious taboos in Iraq to involve women in fighting, but three recent suicide bombings carried out by women could indicate insurgents are growing increasingly desperate. (26) In November 4th, a woman detonated an explosive vest next to a U.S. patrol in Diyala's regional capital, Baqouba, 35 miles northeast ofBagdad (27) wounding seven U. S. troops and five Iraqis. (26) On December 7th, a woman attacked the offices of a Diyala-based Sunni group, fighting al-Qaida in Iraq, (27) killing 15 people and wounding 35 , (26) then on December 31st, a bomber in Baqouba, detonated her suicide vest close to a police patrol (27) wounding five policemen and four civilians.Key:26.A 27.BNews Item 4(28) Chinese government is poised to conduct its first national survey of pollution sources in February to help control environmental deterioration in the country. The study will identify and collect data on the sources of industrial, agricultural and residential pollution for two months. Last year, China's environment was facing a grave situation with several major rivers and lakes clogged by industrial waste. (29) China's environmental cleanup is compromised by more than two decades of rapid economic growth and a lack of technology especially. (30) Every province, autonomous region and municipality has set up a census office and will report to a main center staffed by officials from sovemment departments. Data will be reviewed multiple times before being put into a database and will be analyzed in the second half of 2008. Findings will be examined and approved by mid-2009.Key：28.C 29.A 30.B。

The name is 36 from their Goddess of memory “Mnemosyne”. In the ancient world, a trained memory was an 37 asset, particularly in public life. There were no 38 devices for taking notes, and early Greek orators(演说家) delivered long speeches with great 39 because they learned the speeches using mnemonic systems.The Greeks discovered that human memory is 40 an associative process—that it works by linking things together. For example, think of an apple. The 41 your brain registers the word “apple”, it 42 the shape, color, taste, smell and 43 of that fruit. All these things are associated in your memory with the word “apple”.44. An example could be when you think about a lecture you have had. This could trigger a memory a bout what you’re talking about through that lecture, which can then trigger another memory.45. An example given on a website I was looking at follows: Do you remember the shape of Austria, Canada, Belgium, or Germany? Probably not. What about Italy, though? 46. You made an association with something already known, the shape of a boot, and Italy’s shape could not be forgotten once you had made the association.答案11. A) They prefer to carry cash when traveling abroad。

高级口译0909听力原文与答案解析
2009.9．13高级口译真题听力原文与答案解析9.13高口听力原文Spot Dictation(精准版)权威发布For more than two centuries, America’s colleges and universities have been the backbone of the country’s progress. They have educated the technical, managerial and professional work force and provided generation after generation of national leaders. Today, educators from around the country are up to find many reasons for the excellence of American universities. But four historic Acts stand out as watersheds.First , education for the mass. In 1862, Congress enacted the Land Grant College Act, which essentially extended the opportunity of higher education to all Americans, including women and minorities. Each state was permitted to sell large tracts of federal land, and use the proceeds to endow at least one public college.Second, competition breeds success. Over the years, the decentralization and diversity of the America’s colleges and universities have promoted competition for students and resources. Competitive pressure first arose during the Civil War when president Lincon created the National Academy of Science to advise Congress on any subject of science and art. The Academy’s impact really grew after world war II when a landmark report commissioned by the then president argued that it was the federal government’s responsibility to provide adequate funds for basic research. Instead of being centralized in government laboratories, scientific research became decentralized in American universities and generated increasing investment. It also gave graduate students research opportunities and helped spread scientific discoveries far and wide, to the benefit of industry, medicine and society as a whole.Thirdly, investing in the future.

Its new research shows that government could gain ￡3.5 billion a year through a carbon tax on homes and vehicles. But IPPR says this would harm the poor unless ministers give back all the cash in the form of benefits, tax breaks and home insulation. IPPR has developed a computer model to assess the benefits and drawbacks of environmental taxes. The preliminary findings suggest that taxes can prove a useful tool in achieving environmental objectives. But IPPR says it would be a mistake to use them to raise money because unless they are counterbalanced, they inevitably hit the poorest hardest and are mistrusted by the public.Munich, GermanyGerman business confidence rose less than expected in May as sluggish demand weighed on construction and manufacturing, though outlook for the six-month ahead improved, aclosely-watched survey showed.

But the reductions would represent only a drop in the bucket of what’s needed to address global warming. White House officials say the proposal would cut greenhouse gas emissions by about 900 million metric tons. That's the total reduction of pollution from the five model years of cars and trucks covered by the proposal. Environmental Protection Agency chief Lisa Jackson notes that even though the pollution reductions are big, they’re dwarfed by the massive challenge of global warming. “This action alone—I don’t want to mislead anyone—is not going to change global temperatures. Obviously, it is one step on a long road.”OPEC, AsiaA lowered edge lower last week, oil price rose to ＄61 a barrel Monday in Asia as investors eyed an OPEC meeting this week and weighed evidence of a global economic recovery.

Bronchoscopy
by Avril Blanche孔令璁
Your doctor may perform a bronchoscopy so look for and diagnose problems inside your lungs.Your nose and mouth are points of entry for air to move in and out of your lungs through your trachea or wind pipe, and bronchial tubes. With each breath, your lungs inhale oxygen and exhale carbondioxide. This exchange of gases is the way your body gets oxygen into your blood.
A bronchoscopy may be done to :
1.look for a possibly retrieve,a foreign object that may have been inhaled instead of
swallowed;
2.Investigate a persistant cough or a cough producing blood;
3.Obtain a mucus, tissue or liquid sample from inside your lungs;
4.Or evaluate an abnormal chest X-ray or CT scan.
Before your procedure you will receive medication to help you relax and minimize coughing. And Intravenous(IV) line will be inserted for additional medications. Your heart and blood pressure will be monitored and you will be given an extra oxygen during the procedure. You will be given either a local anesthetic to numb your throat or general anesthesia.
During the procedure, your doctor will slowly thread a bronchoscope through your nose or mouth, down your throat, pass your vocal cords, through your trachea and into your bronchial tubes. He or she will carefully examine the lining of your airways and may take samples for laboratory examination, or remove a foreign object.
After the procedure you will be taken into a recovery area. If a biopsy is been taken, you will likely to have a chest X-ray before you leave the hospital. Your doctor will send any mucus, liquid or biopsy samples remove from your lungs to a laboratory for an examination, the results of which should be available within a week.
