历年高口NTGF原文真题
2014年3月高级口译听力真题NTGF含解析Note Taking and Gap FillingGood afternoon, class. I want to start my lecture by telling you a story. Once there was a young woman from Mexico named Consuela, who came to New York to learn English. She got a job at a factory owned by a Chinese. One day as Consuela came to work, her Chinese boss handed her a red envelope. Consuela looked inside and saw 20 dollars. She became very upset and threw the envelope back at her boss! Her boss was shocked. Well, he had given her the red envelope and the money because it was Chinese New Year. And on the Chinese New Year, it is traditional to give money to young, single people for good luck. However, from Consuela’s point of view, he was an older man giving her money in an envelope, which meant that he was asking her for sexual favors. Naturally, she refused to take the money.Now, what does this story show us? It shows that an action can have totally opposite meanings in different cultures. Every culture has its own rules for what is appropriate and what is not appropriate behavior. And to illustrate my point today, I’m going to give examples from four areas. First, the way people greet each other in different cultures. Second, the way they use names and titles. Third, the way people eat. And finally, the way they exchange gifts.OK, let’s start with greeting customs—First of all, I’m sure you know that in the United States and in most western countries, greetings often involve some sort of touching, such as a handshake, a hug, or a kiss if people know each other very well. On the other hand, people from most Asian countriesdon’t usually feel as comfortable touching in public. Although handshakes between business people are common, many Japanese prefer a bow, while people from Thailand, normally hold their hands together in a kind of prayer position. So imagine how embarrassing it would be if an American was invited to someone’s home in Japan or Thailand and she tried to hug the host!Now, another behavior that differs from culture to culture is the use of names. Have you noticed that Americans ar e quick to use people’s first names even if they have just met. For instance, visitors to the United States are always surprised to hear employees speak to their bosses using first names. In contrast, people in most other cultures are more formal and prefer to be addressed as Mr. Brown or Mr. Honda, for example. In addition, in some countries, such as Italy or Korea, people like you to include their title orposition with their family names, especially if they’re university graduates or owners of a business.Now I want to look at eating customs. I’ll talk about the behaviors connected with eating that vary from culture to culture. One of these is the use of utensils. You probably know that people in many Asian cultures use chopsticks but in some countries i t’s customary to eat with your fingers. It’s important to be aware of different dining customs. Here is another example. In some cultures, eating everything on your plate is considered impolite. In Egypt and China, you should leave some food in your dish at the end of the meal. This is to show that your hosts were generous and gave you more than enough to eat. However, Americans generally consider a clean plate as a sign of satisfaction with the food.Finally, what I want to mention today is gift giving, which you may think is a universal custom and there is not much variation from culture to culture. But the rules of gift giving can be very complicated. In USA, if you’re invited to someone’s home for dinner, bring wine or flowers or small item as a present. On the other hand, the Japanese give gifts quite frequently, often to thank someone, such as a teacher or a doctor. In the Japanese culture, gift giving is a very ancient tradition and it has many detailed rules. Another interesting fact about gift giving is that many cultures have strict rules about gifts you should not give. For example, never give yellow flowers to people from Iran, which means you hate them!【评析】本文题材对考生来说并不陌生，是老生常谈的文化差异。

Passage 1
【主旨】细胞学发展史
【内容】主要讲细胞的发现，lens技术的发展做出的贡献，新的理论发展关于动植物细胞的分类观察，最后提到advanced theory关于变异细胞导致疾病等现象。
观点1：一开始有个科学家用one-lens显微镜观察微生物，结果没有观察到单细胞，于是他觉得life comes from nothing
【内容】西班牙的长篇史诗和短诗，长篇留下来的只有几首，而短诗保存完好，有很多。长篇有4000多行，举的例子是描述一次战争，它从事情的中间开始叙述，不知道是叙述手法还是因为确实是前面的部分；而短篇只有十余行。后来的人用短篇里的内容来填补长篇里缺失的部分，而且短篇往往将的是长篇的climax部分。
有学生提问短篇是完全cut from长诗么，还是只是被长篇inspired。教授说两种可能都有。
【相关词汇】

warm-blooded adj.恒温的
living-condition生活环境

2014年3月2日托福写作机经上海环球雅思今天，环球雅思的小编为大家带来了2014年3月2日托福写作机经，供大家参考使用。
环球雅思将与您分享更多考试资讯！Writing SectionTask 1 Integrated Writing本次托福综合写作部分，围绕着Shark with hammer-shaped head(锤子头鲨鱼)主题展开，话题关键词为There is a kind of shark with hammer-shaped head. The special shaped head functions in three ways。
听力材料和阅读材料依旧遵循了驳斥与被驳斥的论述套路，论据与例证清晰，对等关系明确，两篇材料整体上没有给考生搭建文章架构造成明显干扰，难度处于intermediate level。
篇章回忆主要观点: The special shaped head functions in three ways.分论点1：First, shark with such shaped head turns around quickly.分论点2：Second, such head helps improve the shark’s sensitivity toelectricity field.分论点3：Third, the head can be used as weapons to hunt prey.小贴士考生在读完阅读材料，开始听力笔记之前，非常重要的一个步骤是对已提炼出的要点，按照考试规律性套路进行预测及拓展。
换言之，在该部分写作任务中，ETS基本上已经摈弃听力材料正面支持和补充论证阅读材料的出题思路。
按照这一规律，考生可以按照综合写作的“一一对应，三三驳斥”原则对每一个要点进行头脑风暴，力求在有限的时间内，为更准确有效的抓取听力材料的关键论点，做好系统详尽的笔记做准备。
