一位美籍教授在欢送外籍教师宴会上的祝酒词
女士们，先生们，晚上好！我知道在这个热闹非凡的场合中很难吸引大家的注意，因此我的祝酒词尽量简短些。
我想借此机会，代表所有的外籍教师感谢南平大学的全体教职员工，特别是外事办的工作人员和不同系的同事们，感谢你们2007-2008学年在各方面对我们的帮助，使我们感到家的温暖。
我知道接待外籍教师并不容易，因为我们对于中国很陌生，所以不免为你们增添了许多麻烦。
不像中国的教师一样，刚来时我们需要定位，需要帮助。
于是你们为我们做着一切，从领着我们到小超市到帮我们调试电脑。
学期开始时，又会回答我们无数有关课程的问题以及我们对于这里的教育体制的适应情况。
而这些中国教师都不需要问。
当然，最重要的是，我们呆在中国时，你们还为我们做了许多其他的事情。
比如说和我们一起过假期，带我们去有趣的旅游景点以及向我们介绍中国的传统美食。
然而，到了学期末，我们中的许多人就会离开，你们不得不为接待下一轮的外籍教师重复同样的过程。
年复一年，你们不次劳苦周到地做着这些。
因此今晚，我们想对你们为我们所做的一切事情表示感谢，就比如说今晚这个美好的宴会。
同时还要感谢你们今年投资十万元升级我们的网络服务。
然而，我们还要特别感谢你们每天为我们的生活所做的大事小事，点点滴滴。
请允许我举杯，为南平大学及所有使这个地方工作和生活变得美好的人们，干杯！。

Take a free walk in its streets, and you will feel as if you were in a picturesque Chinese ink painting. The high-standing white wall on both sides of the river and the clear reflection of tile-roofed houses in the water as well as the willows waving and dancing in the breeze all vividly bring life and vigor to the town.In this tranquility, the pace of life seems to be harmoniously subject to the gurgling streams. The name of the town, Xitang, is a synonym of water. The winding rivers with sparkling ripples give away the tranquility it has acquired. As the fall of night ignites thousands of lanterns along the riverbanks and set off the sunset glow, the whole town become ablaze with light and illuminates the way home for its residents.。

高级口译阅读真题及答案九月
Questions 1~5British Aerospace is planning to set up its own university becauseit cannot recruit the skilled graduates it needs from existinginstitutions.BAe has a team drafting a range of options for the university, whichwould award its own degrees. Work on the scheme is expected to start in the next few months.Sir Richard Evans, chief executive of British Aerospace, hasalready launched a recruiting drive for engineers on the Continent because of a shortage of high-calibre domestic candidates. Advertising campaignsin France, Germany and other European countries will seek to attract students expecting to graduate in the summer. Other engineering employers are expe3cted to follow suit. The move to take on overseas graduates comes after BAe left one in five of its graduate places unfilled last year, blaming shortcomings in the education system. If the scheme is approved, BAe will either build a full university or incorporate sites at its main research and manufacturing centres at Farnborough, Surrey, and Warton, Lancashire. The company would have to convince the education authorities that the university had sufficient teaching capacity and autonomy for it to be allowed to award degrees. Bae said it was setting up its own education system and recruiting staff abroad because "there is a shortage of engineering graduates, both in terms of quantity and quality".The Engineering Employers' Federation said that skill shortageswere an urgent problem. Rolls-Royce, another large engineering employer, said there was a general skill shortage, although it had filled itsgraduate quota. Rolls will soon recruit internationally to reflect itsexpanding international operations.Engineering's failure to attract students has been attributed topoor pay and long-term prospects, given the decline in British manufacturing. BAe would not reveal how much it pays graduates, but Lucas Variety, a large engineering employer, paid a starting salary of ￡14,200last year. That compares with an average graduate starting salary of￡15,300, according to Income Data Services.British universities have found it increasingly difficult torecruit well-qualified undergraduates. Even Oxford and Cambridge fail to meet their quotas in many engineering subjects.Alan Smithers, whose Centre for Education and Employment Research,at Brunel University, produced a report on the supply of science and engineering graduates early this year, said that the discipline had beenover expanded. "There is now a lack of quality to withstand competitionin an increasingly international sphere. Companies go where they can find the best candidates."Engineering does not enjoy the high status in Britain that itoccupies in other parts of the world. Courses in other parts of Europeand the Far East command among the highest entry requirements of all degree subjects and take five years, rather than the norm of three in Britain.1. British Aerospace is recruiting engineers on the Continent ______.(A) as the pay for them can be much lower(B) as there are not enough well-qualified candidates at home(C) to compete with France, Germany and other European countries(D) to set up a university of its own.2. In the passage, the expression "to follow suit" in the sentence "Other engineering employers are expected to follow suit" (para. 4) can best be paraphrased as _______.(A) tojoin BAe in its recruiting scheme (B) to take theunanimous action(C) to recruit graduates overseas (D) to establishuniversities3. Which of the following is NOT the reason that engineering courses failto attract British students?(A) The decline of British manufacturing industry.(B) The recruitment of engineers abroad.(C) The lower pay for engineering graduates.(D) The long and slow process of success and promotion after graduation.4. "Oxford" and "Cambridge" are mentioned in the passage to show that_______.(A) they are the world famous universities.they are not cooperating with British Aerospace(C) they are reforming the engineering education(D) they can not fulfil their recruitment quotas in engineering5. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?(A) There should be further cooperation between British Aerospace and Higher Institutions(B) Shortage of engineers leads BAe to plan its own university(C) British Higher Education has recently been reevaluated(D) British Engineering education is severely criticized for its lackof qualityQuestion 6~10 In an unprecedented trans-European strike, Renault workers yesterday staged simultaneous stoppages in France, Belgium and Spain to protest against the car maker's decision to close its factory at Vilvoordein Belgium and cut 6,000 jobs.Despite union fury and a storm of criticism from French politiciansand the European Commission, Louis Schweitzer, the Renault chairman, insisted that the closure of the Belgian factory in July with the lossof 3,100 jobs was traumatic but necessary. "It's a brutal, hard and painful decision," Mr.Schweitzer said. "If we do nothing, the company will be." Up to one third of workers downed tools for one hour during each shiftin Paris and other parts of France, while Belgian demonstrators from the threatened Vilvoorde plant massed outside the French Embassy in Brussels and threw a car chassis across police barricades. Belgian Renault dealers across the country joined the protest by shutting up shop.The Renault board has approved a plan to shed an additional 2,764jobs in France, where stoppages began overnight at the Renault factoryin Le Mans, and continued yesterday at plants in Cleon, Sandouville and Douai.About 90 per cent of workers at four Renault plants in Spain downedtools for one hour and employees at factories operated in Belgium by General Motors, Volkswagen, Ford, Opel and Volvo also staged one-hour strikes in solidarity with their Renault counterparts./Workers at Renault plants in Portugal, however, did not respond tothe strike call.Up to one third of workers downed tools for one hour during each shiftin Paris and other parts of France, while Belgian demonstrators from the threatened Vilvoorde plant massed outside the French Embassy in Brussels and threw a car chassis across police barricades.

Critics claim that he is callously taking advantage of differentlabour costs across Europe, and on Thursday Karl Van Miert, the European Commissioner, announced he was blocking Spanish investment subsides for Renault on the grounds that it was "absurd" to close the profitable Belgian plant.The Spanish Government yesterday decided to suspend its request for approval of an 8 million subsidy it had planned to provide for a Renaultinvestment in Valladolid.The management of the newly-privatised French automaker claims thatthe Vilvoorde plant was singled out because it has the highest production costs.While President Chirac of France has expressed "shock" at the abruptway the closure was announced, as Mr. Schweitzer pointed out "the French Government has not said that the decision should be altered, correctedor that it was not good for the company".6. The Belgians demonstrated outside the French Embassy in Brussels______.(A) to protest against French President Chirac's speech(B) to support French workers' strike at Renault plants(C) to protest against the closure of the Vilvoorde factory by theFrench car maker(D) to voice their solidarity with all Renault workers7. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.(A) about 6,000 jobs will be cut from the Renault factory at Vilvoordein Belgium(B) one third of workersin the Vilvoorde factory will lose their jobs(C) about 6,000 workers will be laid off from Renault factories inBelgium and France(D) the strikes at Renault plants in Belgium and France will lead toa dismissal of about 6,000 workers8. According to the passage, the workers at factories operated in Belgiumby General Motors, Volkswagen, Ford, Opel and Volvo staged strikes _____.(A) to protest against the closure of their plants(B) to demand higher wages(C) to demand more subsidies from their governments(D) to support workers in Renault plants9. The expression "was singled out" (para. 11) can be replaced by whichof the following?(A) was closed down (B) waschosen(C) was reconstructed (D) wasseparated10.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?(A) Renault workers in several European countries staged strikeagainst the closure of the Vilvoorde factory.(B) The French Government planned to take action to change the decisionof the Renault board.(C) The decision to close the Renault factory in Vilvoorde met strongcriticism from different circles.(D) The labour costs of automobile industry vary greatly from countryto country, even in Europe.Question 11~15The Australian art world swooned when they saw the work of "Aboriginal" painter Eddie Burrup, whose haunting canvases depicted Aboriginal "Dreamtime" legends.The only trouble is, Eddie Burrup does not exist. He is a figmentof the imagination of an 82-year-old white woman whose hoax has embarrassed the cognoscenti and infuriated the nation's indigenous artists. Not since Brisbane literary award winner, Helen Demidenko, admitted she fooled the publishing world in 1995 by assuming a false identity, have Australia's artistic elite been so humbled.The elderly painter who so successfully pulled the wool overeveryone's eyes, is in fact Elizabeth Durack, a pastoralist, author and amateur anthropologist who lives in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia. Under Burrup's fictitious name, she produced a range of critically acclaimed work, including paintings, photographs andeven an autobiography. Everyone assumed Burrup was recluse living a hermit's existence in the Outback."His" creations were so impressive that they even featured in atouring Aboriginal art show. This month some of the works were due to be entered for the highly respected Sulman Prize, to be announced on March 21. But after yesterday's revelation "Burrup's" work will almostcertainly be withdrawn.Durack, of Irish descent, is a member of one of the country's mostfamous pioneering families. She is a well-know painter in her own right and confessed to her deception in an arts magazine, but refused to explain her motivation. "It's my last creative phase," was all she would say. However, art historian Robert Smith, a close family friend, defendedher actions. "she has created a character,just a playwright or a poet ora novelist will create a character," he said. "She hasn't appropriatedany motifs or themes, or forms of Aboriginal art at all," he insisted. Members of the Aboriginal art community were less forgiving,claiming she had stolen indigenous culture. "It's the last thing left thatyou could possibly take away other than our lives or shoot us all." John Mundine, an Aboriginal art curator, said. Doreen Mellor, senior curatorat Flinders Art Museum in Adelaide, said: "As an Aboriginal person I feel really offended."Ironically, the Durack family probably has a deeper knowledge of Aboriginal affairs than many other white settlers, having lived among Australia's indigenous people in Kimberley for nearly 180 years. In thelast century the Duracks had a reputation as the only family of pastoralists who did not shoot Aborigines.11.According to the passage. Eddie Burrup _______.(A) is an 82-year-old female painter(B) has long fascinated the Australian art world(C) has lived in Western Australia for many years(D) is an imaginary male Aboriginal painter12.According to the passage, the Australian artistic circles ______.(A) highly appreciate the work of Eddie Burrup(B) do not cosider Durack to be an artist(C) felt cheated by the trick of Elizabeth Durack(D) acknowledged Durack's contribution to the Aboriginal art13. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.(A) Durack imitated paintings from other Aboriginal artists(B) Durack lacked confidence in her own painting skills(C) Durack knew much about Aboriginal culture(D) Durack devoted all her life to the creation of Eddie Burrup14. The word "appropriated" in the sentence "She hasn't appropriated any motifs or themes, or forms of Aboriginal art at all," (para. 6) can bereplaced by which of the following?(A) made proper useof (B) used asher own invention(C) imitated and copied (D) studiedand designed15.Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?(A) Many white men killed or injured the native people in Australiain the last century.(B) The Durack family have been hostile to Australia's natives.(C) The Aboriginal artists criticised Durack's deceptive behaviour.(D) Some people felt sympathetic with Durack after the revelation ofher deception.Question 16~20The medical world was thrown into confusion yesterday when a judgeruled that food and hydration could be withdrawn from a 29-year-old woman,even though doing so would not strictly follow rules laid down by the Royal College of Physicians.The woman, known as Miss D, was suffering a "living death" and the timehad come for "merciful relief," said Sir Stephen Brown, President of theHigh Court Family Division.The case breaks new ground because in previous cases where doctorshave applied to turn off life-support machines of seriously brain-damaged patients, the victims have been in a "persistent vegetative state"(PVS).Miss D was not considered by experts to be in a PVS because she could track movement with her eyes and responded to cold water being poured into her ears.James Munby QC, who was appointed to represent the woman's interests, told Sir Stephen that the reason the Royal College had been anxious to identify what he had called a "bright line" over which the boundariesshould not be pushed was because there was always a danger of going downa "slippery slope". But the judge, in his ruling said that all theconsultants, doctors, medical team and family were agreed that Miss D had no awareness of her surroundings or herself, and all the evidence was that there was "no possibility of any meaningful life whatsoever". SirStephen said that he did not feel he was altering the boundaries of whocould be allowed to die. "I am driven to the conclusion... that it is inthis patient's best interest to withdraw the artificial feeding andhydration which is keeping her body alive."But the judgement was condemned by the anti-euthanasia group. Alert, which said the "barbaric practice" of cutting off life support systemsbto braindamaged patients should be banned. Dr.Peggy Norris, chairwomanof Alert, said: "Withholding food and fluids from a person capable of experiencing thirst had been used as a form of torture."The British Medical Association took the vies, however, that thejudgement did not extend the categories of patients from whom nutritionand hydration can be withdrawn. "It is an acknowledgment that it wouldbe ethically acceptable to consider withdrawal of nutrition and hydrationfrom and individual who has permanently lost his or her sentience and awareness," a spokesman said.Miss D was at university when she was seriously injured in a roadaccident in 1989. She recovered enough to walk round in familiar surroundings, but in 1995 was found unconscious in her bed, probably having had an epileptic fit. She has never subsequently recovered consciousness.This week her feeding tube had become dislodged, and a smalloperation would have been needed to replace it. Consequently the hospital trust caring for her had applied to the court for a declaration that itwas lawful to "discontinue all life sustaining treatment." Its requestwas upheld.A spokesman for the Royal College of Physicians said the decisionhad caused confusion. "We set up a working group to produce guidelines,in order to help doctors in a difficult situation. But they are onlyguidelines and thejudge is not obliged to follow them. Thejudgement doesnot change them, but it seems to be leading to some uncertainty among doctors."16. The case which concerns Miss D is mainly about ______.(A) whether she was in a "persistent vegetative state"(B) if she should be given further medical treatment(C) which method to be used to recover her consciousness(D) whether the withdrawal of food and fluids from her isjustifiable17. In the passage, the expression "breaks new ground" (para. 3) can be paraphrased as which of the following?(A) makes new discoveries (B) providesfurther opportunities(C) brings new problems (D) makesbreakthroughs18.What is the major issue of the argument according to the passage?(A) The redefinition of "persistent vegetative state."(B) The stoppage of life sustaining treatment to non PVS patients.(C) The ethical issues in treating PVS patients.(D) The distinctions between PVS and non PVS patients.19. It can be concluded that the author of the passage ______.(A) gives his personal opinion about the issue in question(B) reaches a comprehensive conclusion in the end(C) provides a detailed introduction on the issue of euthanasia(D) offers an objective report on different views towards the issue20. According to the spokesman for the Royal College of Physicians, thejudgement has ______.(A) set a precedent for future cases(B) strictly followed the guidelines set up by the Royal College of Physicians(C) brought about certain confusion in the medical profession(D) led to strong opposition in the medical world翻译：A commonplace criticism of American culture is its excessive preoccupation with material goods and corresponding neglect of the human spirit. Americans, it is alleged, worship only "the almighty dollar." We scramble to "keep up with the Joneses." The love affair between Americans and their automobiles has been a continuing subject of derisive commentary by both foreign and domestic critics. Americans are said to live by a quantitative ethic. Bigger is better, whether in bombs or sedans. The classical virtues of grace, harmony, and economy of both means and ends are lost on most Americans. As a result, we are said to be swallowing up the world's supply of natural resources, which are irreplaceable. Americans constitute 6 percent of the world's population but consume over a third of the world's energy. These are now familiar complaints. Indeed,in some respects Americans may believe the "pursuit of happiness" to mean the pursuit of material things.Questions 1~4 /A judge condemned European Union laws against corporal punishmentand the rise in single-parent families as he sent two young arsonists toa secure unit yesterday.Sentencing the boys, aged ten and 13, to two and a half years, Judge Rodwell QC said in Luton Crown Court that the abolition of corporal punishment in schools had left teachers unable to discipline unruly youngsters, leading to an increase in delinquency.The boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, set fire to aneighbour's house as they roamed the streets of a council estate afterbeing expelled from school.Judge Rodwell said: "With the best intention in the world corporal punishment has been abolished and indeed that is a requirement of the EU"."But this has resulted in an extremely unsatisfactory situation.Nobody wants children to be flogged but it is no longer possible for a teacher to deal with even a minor incident by a cuff round the ear or a smack on the hand, which is swift and something the child entirely understands and stops minor incidents escalating."If the child does not respond to being told not to bring gin intoschool or beat his mates up the teacher has to go through discipline procedures. If the correct procedures are followed a great deal of verbiage comes out which may satisfy the intelligent niceties of educationists but has no impact on a great number of children. Suspension is hardly a sanction."The judge expressed concern over single-parent families, and saidthat children needed two parents. The boys had both come from broken homes.He said:"Both children come from homes where a father for a lot of the time was not present. It is often said that in single-parent homes children can be given as much love as they need but that is not the entire answer." During their trial last month the court was told that the two boyswere among a gang of children who harassed the Smith family on the Downsideestate, Dunstable, Bedfordshire.One day, the boys put paper through the letter box and tried to setlight to it, but failed. Then a woman neighbour, described by the judgeas "the neighbour from hell". lent them a lighter so they kicked the doorin and started a fire a on a hall table.The blaze left the house uninhabitable, causing ￡4,000 damage tothe building and destroying virtually everything the family owned. The boys denied arson.1. Why were the two boys sent to a secure unit?2. What is corporal punishment referred to in this passage? Cite examples of corporal punishment from the passage.3. What are the advantages of corporal punishment, according to Judge Rodwell?4. Explain in your own words the statement "suspension is hardly asanction" (para. 6)?Question 5~7Five train companies will have to ask for more cash from the next government to run services, according to a report out yesterday.The study, conducted by a former transport analyst with Cityaccountants Coopers and Lybrand for Save Our Railways, the pressure group, claimed that many private operators bid so aggressively for train services they will be unable to meet the ambitious targets they have set themselves. Another four franchises are likely to run into financialdifficulties, making losses even if they manage to increase revenues by16 per cent over seven years.The loss-making franchises--Cardiff Railways, West Anglia and Great Northern and South Wales and West, Thameslink and Thames Trains--are likely to require more than ￡500m in extra subsidy in order to keep trains running. /"There has been concern in the rail industry for some time aboutthe way that some of the later franchises were let to bidders who weretaking a gamble," said Keith Bill, national secretary of Save OurRailways.The City's initial concerns about rail privatisation have meant that many early bids were "given away". South West Trains, which introducedan emergency timetable after cutting driver numbers, is predicted to make nearly ￡480m if it grows at 3 per cent a year.Also likely to make bumper profits are Great Western, which runsexpress InterCity services from London to the west country and could make ￡462m, and French-based company CGEA, in line for more than ￡600m fromits two commuter services. Campaigners point out that Opraf, the government body which let out franchises, realised that some would make money and others would run into difficulties.Train companies said that the growth forecasts were too low. "In twoyears we have increased our takings by 50 per cent," said a spokesman for Thames Trains. "So we expect to grow for faster than this report estimates."The analysis should jolt Labour's rail policy into life. The speedsell-off of British Rail has caught the party off-guard and forced itstransport team into a series of embarrassing U-turns--which hasculminated in a decision not to take any bankrupt train service intopublic hands. /"We will consider all the options and as a last resort we will offera bankrupt train srvice to private bidders in order to secure the bestdeal for the taxpayer," said a sopkeswoman for Andrew Smith, the shadow Secretary of State of Transport.Senior railway managers point out that this would mean that theLabour party would be forced into paying moresubsidy.5. Why are some train companies likely to make losses even if they manage to increase revenue?6. What does the sentence "many early bids were `given away'" (para. 6) mean?7. According to the passage, what are the impacts of the speed privatisation of British Rail on the Labour Party?Question 8~10The message in London's singles flat market is clear if you can findanything you like then buy now, Dixie Nichols writes.London is seeing "a vibrant and wealthy singles flat market"according to David Salvi of the Clerkenwell agents Hurford, Salvi and Carr. The middle market flat agents Douglas & Gordon and Chestertons both say prices in the sector are up 20 per cent on a year ago, both say this sector has improved by 20 per cent in the past 12 months, and both have a backlog of buyers. /Melissa Carter, of Douglas & Gordon's Battersea office, says: "Whatwas a good offer two months ago looks about right now. the deals are holding and valuers (who had been acting as a brake) are now prepared to follow." Buyers in the singles market come wielding big deposits (up to a thirdof the price is not unusual), and frequently leapfrog the studio andone-bed flats starting in at two beds. Often the second bed is let to afriend to take the sting out of the mortgage. /Although agents complain of there not being enough stock, there isa steady influx from the commercial block conversions. The new wave of developments is hitting the market now.The market is hungry and snaps up anything well priced. The Ziggurat Building in Clerkenwell, north London, sold all 34 units in its first phase within an hour of opening its doors, but the price was exceptional-- ￡140a sq ft when most schemes hover at ￡200 to ￡250.The developers' headline price may not have shot up in the past yearbut the amount of space you get for your money has been shaved, When Sapcote's Beauchamp Building in Hatton Garden, central London, was introduced last September the shell sizes of 1,200 to 1,400 sq ft were。

Markyour answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1A former town hall worker made legal history last week when she was awarded 67,000 pounds for stress brought on by her work. The ruling made Beverley Lancaster the first person to get their employer to accept legal responsibility for stress-related personal injury in a British court. It is likely to start a flood of other worker’s claims; Mrs. Lancaster’s union already has 7,000 stress-related cases on its books.The 44-year-old mother of two started a legal case against Birmingham City Council after falling ill while working as a troubleshooter in a neighborhood housing office. Dealing with rude and abusive members of the public pushed her into periods of gloom and she suffered anxiety, Birmingham county court heard. Mrs. Lancaster joined the council at 16, working her way up from junior clerk to senior draughtswoman. Her problems began when she was promoted to housing officer in Sutton Oldfield. "With no continuity, a constant high workload and little clerical support, I found it difficult to switch from one problem or situation to another," she said. "My concentration swung and I suffered sleepless nights. It made me feel like I was in a hole with no key to open the door. I would break down in tears. I was being in paperwork and at times my mind would just go blank."In awarding compensation of 67,491 pounds, assistant recorder Frances Kirkham said she understood the position of troubleshooter was very different from Mrs. Lancaster’s precious job. She rejected claims from the council that Mrs. Lancaster would be able to go back to her former profession, saying she accepted that the possibility of future work would be less capacity.After the hearing Mrs. Lancaster said she was relieved and pleased. She added, "I hope this will act as a warning to employers. Everything I did was right. The council made promises to me and they failed me. I felt isolated, let down, that I was not good enough, not wanted." The payout, the first of its kind to be decided in a county court, covers loss of wages and future loss of earnings.A spokesman for Birmingham City Council said action had been taken by the authority to review its staff and management procedures.46. Mrs. Beverley Lancaster was awarded 67,000 pounds for ______.[A] illness caused by her job[B] her successful and good luck[C] the courage she showed in court[D] the amount of work she did47. Mrs. Beverley Lancaster took legal action against the city council because ______.[A] it refused to award her for her job[B] she had to deal with rude members of the council[C] it was responsible for her problems[D] it denied her any clerical support48. The Lancaster case shows that employees have the right to get compensation if they ______.[A] are given work that they are unable to do[B] suffer mental injury caused by their work[C] are forced to do work that they don’t like[D] feel isolated, let down and extremely anxious49. It can be inferred that ______.[A] Mrs. Lancaster will find a better paid job in the future[B] the job of draughtswoman is very demanding[C] the court may hear more stress-related cases[D] the job of housing officer causes mental injuries50. If Birmingham City Gouncil plans to move an employee to a new job, it will definitely make sure that ______.[A] there is continuity between the two jobs[B] no complaints from the employee occur[C] the amount of work is reduced for the new job[D] the employee is prepared for any mental problemsText 2Life learning (sometimes called un-schooling or self-directed learning) is one of those concepts that are almost easier to explain by saying what it isn’t, than what it is. And that’s probably beca use our own schooled backgrounds have convinced us that learning happens only in a dedicated building on certain days, between certain hours, and managed by a specially trained professional.Within that schooling framework, no matter how hard teachers try and no matter how good their textbooks, many bright students get bored, many slower students struggle and give up or lose their self-respect, and most of them reach the end of the process unprepared to enter into society. They have memorized a certain body of knowledge long enough to rush back the information on tests, but they haven’t really learnt much, at least of the official curriculum.Life learners, on the other hand, know that learning is not difficult, that people learn things quite easily if they’re not compelled and forced, if they see a need to learn something, and if they are trusted and respected enough to learn it on their own timetable, at their own speed, in their own way. They know that learning cannot be produced in us and that we cannot produce it in others—no matter what age and no matter whether we’re at school or at home.Life learning is independent of time, location or the presence of teacher. It does not require mom or dad to teach, or kids to work in workbooks at the kitchen table from 9 to noon from September to June. Life learning is learner-driven. It involves living and learning—in and from the real world. It is about exploring, questioning, experimenting, making messes, taking risks without fear of making mistakes, being laughed at and trying again.Furthermore, life learning is about trusting kids to learn what they need to know and about helping them to learn and grow in their own ways. It is about providing positive experiences that enable children to understand the world and their culture and to interact with it.51. It is implied in the text that it is hard to ______.[A] carry life learning though [B] tell the nature of life learning[C] learn without going to school [D] find a specially trained teacher52. According to the author, the schooling framework often ______.[A] produces slow students with poor memories[B] ignores some parts of the official curriculum[C] fails to provide enough knowledge about life[D] gives little care to the quality of teaching materials53. Life learners recognize that learning will not be difficult if they are ______.[A] clear about why to learn [B ] careful to make a time table[C] able to respect other people [D] cautious about any mistakes54. According to the author, life learning ______.[A] could prevent one from running risks[B] could be a road full of trials and errors[C] makes a kid independent of his parents[D] teaches a kid how to avoid being scorned55. Through life learning, children ______.[A] will grow without the assistance from parents[B] will learn to communicate with the real world[C] will be driven to learn necessary life knowledge[D] will be isolated from the negative side of societyText 3To find Kim Hyung Gyoon’s office in Samsung’s R&D complex, just follow the baskets of dirt clothes. No, Kim is not running the company laundry. As chief of Samsung’s Washing & Cleaning Technology Group(WCTG), he’s the man behind a new washing machine that deposits tiny silver particles(small pieces of things) —about 1 / 10,000 the thickness of a human hair— onto clothes to make them germ-and-odor-free without the need of hot water. The device represents the first mass-produced application of this tape of nanotechnology — the science of very small structures—to home appliances. "In summer of 2002, I asked everyone in the office to take off their socks," says Kim. "took one sock from each person and placed it in a regular washing machine; the others were washed in a machine with the Ag+ Nano System. The next day, I asked everyone to check the odor of their socks after a day’s wear. One began produce a strong unpleasant smell, and the other was odorless."Kim says he came up with the idea five years ago while on a business trip to Japan, where he learned of a brand of socks that retained their freshness even after many days of unwashed wear and tear. Tiny sticks of sliver with germ-killing chemicals were woven into the fabric. When he got back to Seoul, Kim applied the principle to washing machines.According to the Korea Testing & Research Industry, Samsung’s device kills 99.9% of germs. Kim says garments stay germ-free for up to a month after being laundered. The Ag+ Nano device went on sale in March 2003 and costs around $1,150; the revolutionary technology is also being used in Samsung’s refrigerators and air conditioners.No wonder: consumers seem to a little sliver in their spin cycles. S ince Samsung’s nano-armed products were first launched, they have brought in an estimated $779 million in revenue. Overall, nanotech has been one of science’s fastest-growing fields in recent years, with potential applications in fields as diverse as energy production and toothpaste manufacture. The nanotech market is projected to be worth $1 trillion by 2015.56. Which of the following best describes the nature of Kim Hyung Gyoon’s work?[A] Product development. [B] Market investigation.[C] Research designing. [D] Sales promotion.57. One advantage of nano-armed washing machines is that ______.[A] one wash-load is much larger than before[B] the clean-up is done with an additional benefit[C] cleaning powder is no longer necessary[D] a lot of water could be saved58. In terms of nanotechnology, Kim was the first ______.[A] to use it in washing machines [B] to come up with the idea[C] to introduce it to Korea [D] to apply it to socks59. The author believes that the future of nanotechnology will be ______.[A] conspicuous [B] distinctive[C] foreseeable [D] promising60. This text centers on ______.[A] the success of an enterprise[B] the application of a technology[C] the market share of Samsung’s WCTG[D] the mass-production of a home appliancePart BDirections:Read the following texts in which 5 people expressed their opinions about the concept of "happiness".

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Heather McCoyEntering a bookstore, one cannot help but notice entire shelves devoted to books boating knowledge of the true path to happiness.Whether this wave of infomercials and books can actually make people happier is the question. Happiness cannot be found by adhering to a narrow set of steps or rules. Finding happiness is not as simple as following a how-to manual, it’s something that every person must find in his or her own way.Gary RussellDoes happiness grow proportionally with wealth? Hardly.Experiences teaches us material satisfaction comes only when one finds himself wealthier than those around him; and, in a like manner, one feels of being lowered when confronting a billionaire, while a worker with a monthly salary of several hundred dollars becomes the envy of the villagers in remote mountainous regions.David NivenTrue happiness is not a result from human action. Results are temporary whereas happiness is everywhere and can neither be created nor destroyed. True happiness is realized by understanding one’s own SELF. With true happiness there is no place for disappointments! True happiness may mean pain and restraint in the beginning but will lead to eternal joy and freedom. To achieve true happiness, we should isolate and remove the negatives.Joshua PartyHappiness is a state of mind. You can be happy in almost any situation. Likewise, you can be unhappy in an equal number of situations. In the end, it’s your decision.If one can control one’s unhappiness, then one must be able to control one’s happiness. As far as I know, the Human Genome Project has not been able to identify a single part of any human chromosome which is responsible for happiness.Laura JohnsonSo what makes me a happy person? Studying to be a journalist because I loved to write, not because it pays a lot of money. Skiing in the winter snow and swimming in the summer sun. Spending time with my close friends from home that like the real me just as much as the old me. Being in a stable family. Reading romance novels and watching bizarre movies. Having a boyfriend who knows more about rock and roll history than I do.Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statements.Note: there are two extra statements.61.

部分））月高级口译第二部分阅读答案及解析（（部分2008年9月高级口译第二部分阅读答案及解析Years ago, when I first started building websites for newspapers, many journalists told me that they saw the Internet as the end of reliable journalism. Since anyone could publish whatever he wanted online, “real journalism” would be overwhelmed, they said. Who would need professional reporters and editors if anyone could be a reporter or an editor? I would tell them not to worry. While my personal belief is that anyone can be a reporter or editor, I also know that quality counts. And that the “Viral” nature of the Internet means that when people find quality, they let other people know about it. Even nontraditional media sites online will survive only if the quality of their information is trusted. The future of online news will demand more good reporters and editors, not fewer.So I was intrigued when Newsweek recently published a story called “Revenge of the Expert”. It argued that expertise would be the main component of “Web 3.0”. “The wisdom of the crowds has peaked,” says Jason Calacanis, founder of the Maholo “people-powered search engine” and a former AOL executive. “Web 3.0 is taking what we’ve built in Web 2.0----the wisdom of the crowds---and putting an editorial layer on it of truly talented, compensated people to make the product more trusted and refined.” Well, yes and no. Sure, it is important for people to trust the information they find online. And as the Newsweek article argues, the need for people to find trusted information online is increasing, thus the need for more expertise. But the article fails to mention the most important feature of the world of digital information. It’s not expertise-it’s choice.In many cases the sites that people come to trust are built on nontraditional models of expertise. Look at sites like , , or . There, users provide the expertise on which others depend, when many users’ select a particular story, that story accumulates votes of confidence, which often lead other users to choose that story. The choices of the accumulated community are seen as more trustworthy than the “gatekeeper” model of traditional news and information. Sometimes such sites highlight information that are ignored (or missed) by “experts”. It’s sort of the “open source” idea of information---a million eyes looking on the Web for information is better than a few.Jay Rosen, who writes the Press Think Blog, says in an e-mail that he’s seen this kind of story before, calling it a “kind of pathetic” trends reporting. “I said in 2006, when starting , that the strongest editorial combinations will be pro-am. I still think that. Why? Because for most reporters covering a big sprawling beat, It’s still true what Dan Gillmor said ‘My readers know more than I do.’And it’s still the case that tapping into that knowledge is becoming more practical because of the internet.”sica, a social-media strategist and former editor, also says he sees no departure from the “wisdom of the crowds ”model, “I’ve seen very little evidence that the sweeping cultural shifts we’ve seen in the past half dozen years show any signs of retreating.” scia says, “Young people now rely on social networks… to take cues from their friends on which movies to see,books to read…. And didn’t ‘Loney Planet Guide’s explore this terrain for travel and Zagat’s for dining back in the ‘90s?”In many cases, traditional media is still the first choice of online users because the reporter and editors of these media outlets have created a level of trust for many people-but not for everyone. When you combine the idea of expertise with the idea of choice, you discover nontraditional information sites that become some of the Internet’s most trusted places. Take , written by lawyers about cases in the Supreme Court. It has become the place to go for other lawyers, reporter, and editors to find in-depth information about important cases. The Internet also allows individuals to achieve this level of trust. For instance, the blog written by Robert Scoble, Mr.Scoble, a former Microsoft employee and tech expert, is widely seen as one of the most important people to read when you want to learn what’s happening in the world of technology. He built his large audience on the face that people trust his writing.To me, it’s the best of all possible information worlds.1.According to the passage, the expression “real journalism”is used to refer to_____.(A)Traditional newspaper and magazines.(B)Online news and information provided by “the crowds”(C)Online news and information provide by professional reporters and editors(D) News and information form both traditional media and nontraditional media sites.根据文章，“真实的新闻业”指代：解析：此题答案为C。
