2022年上海中级口译考试真题答案及解析
Spot Dictation:We all have problems and barriers that block our progress, or prevent us from moving into new areas. Our problems might include the fear of speaking in front of a group, anxiety about math problems, or the reluctance to sound silly trying to speak a foreign language. It's natural to have problems and barriers, but sometimes they limit our experience so much, we get bored with life. When that happens, consider the following three ways of dealing with the problem or barrier.One way is to pretend it doesn't exist. Avoid it, deny it, and lie about it. It's like turning your head the other way, putting on a fake grin, and saying, "See, there's really no problem at all. Everything is fine."In addition to looking foolish, this approach leaves the barrier intact, and we keep bumping into it. So, a second approach is to fight the barrier, to struggle against it. This usually makes the barrier grow. It increases the barrier's magnitude. A person who is obsessed with weight might constantly worry about being fat. He might struggle with it every day, trying diet after diet. And the more he struggles, the bigger the problem gets.The third alternative is to love the barrier. Accept it. Totally experience it. Tell the truth about it. Describe it in detail.Applying this process is easier if you remember two ideas. First, loving aproblem is not necessarily the same as enjoying it. Love in this sense means total and unconditional acceptance. Second, unconditional acceptance is not the same as unconditional surrender. Accepting a problem is different than giving up or escaping from it. Rather, this process involves escaping into the problem, diving into it headfirst, and getting to know it in detail.Often the most effective solutions come, when we face a problem squarely, with eyes wide open, then we can move through the problem, instead of around it. When you are willing to love your problems, you drain them of much of their energy.【评析】本文选自Dave Ellis 旳著作Becoming a Master Student其中旳一种章节：Love your problems and experience your barriers，本文重要简介了处理问题旳三种措施，第一种是直接忽视它，就当不存在；第二种是正视它，挑战它，第三种则是爱上困难，充足体验。

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--Unit 15
Unit 15. Part one. First aid. 2. Exercises.1. Listen to the passage about first aid. And then choose the best answer to each question you hear.The most important thing about first aid is to do only what is necessary, but to do that is carefully and quickly as you can. When an accident happens, don’t rush or get exited. Stop and think first. If the injured person is in no immediate danger from fire, water or traffic, leave him lying where he is. A rolled up cope or pull over placed under his head and a cope blanket over him is the best treatment you can give while waiting for help. If the person is unconscious, loosening his clothing and especially around the neck. If an arm or leg lies awkwardly or looks out of shape, trying not to move it. Remember that you can do a lot of harm by trying to do too much. Of course there are times when you can’t wait for help, and you must do the best you can until a doctor or ambulance arrives. If the injured person has stopped breathing, you must start artificial respiration as soon as possible. If he is bleeding badly you must act immediately to stop the flow of blood. If he can’t stand the side of blood, take a few deep breath through your mouth, this will enable you to think clearly and act calmly.Questions:1) What is the most important thing about first aid?2) What should we do if the injured person is in no immediate danger?3) Which of the following is not an act of first aid?2.

First aid for young children. Listen to the following talk about first aid for young children.And then choose the best answer to each question you hear.As any parent will tell you small cuts and minor grazers are unavoidable among small children. Such cuts and grazers were usually needed little or no treatment. The bleeding will clean the wound naturally and it should stop within a few minutes as the blood clots and dries. More serious cuts may need to be gentler cleaned with soft cotton and warm water. They should then be dressed with a clean cotton bandage. Follow this simple check list of questions. Ask yourself each of these questions in order to make sure you treat cuts and grazers properly. Firstly, is the cut on the face. If it is, call a doctor as soon as possible, especially if the eyes injured. Secondly, is the cut near the eye. If it is, put a clean piece of cotton wool over it and press it on firmly for about 5 minutes. Thirdly, ask yourself if the cut is still bleeding badly. If it is, dress it with a clean cotton bandage and call a doctor as soon as possible. Fourthly, is the cut a deep one and is it wide open. If it is, clean the cut gently with clean cotton wool and a little warm water then hold it close with an adhesive dressing. Fifth question, was the cut made by a nail or a long sharp piece of wood. If it was, there may be some dirt in the cut. Let it bleed for a while to clean itself. Then clean it with cotton wool and warm water and dress it with a clean cotton bandage. Finally, don’t forget that young children can become very easily upset or shocked by a cut, especially if it is a serious one. Try to keep them calm and quiet. Don’t give them anything to drink but keep their lips wet with a little water.Questions:1) What should you do if a child is cut near the eye?2) What should you do with a very deep cut?3) What should you do if the child is nervous or upset?3. How to keep fit? Listen to the following interview and then choose the best answer to each question you hear.W: Could you tell how we should keep fit?M: Well, really what we should do is to try to keep fit or round. Now what do I mean by that?I mean such things as keeping up our strength and our suppleness and our stamina. Now you may say why do we need all 3 of those things? Well, strength is usually really just so that we don’t strain muscles or pull ligaments and tendons when we suddenly have to do somethi ng and be energetic, like to lift a heavy suitcase or perhaps shift a wardrobe or even get out of a chair or a bath. Suppleness is important obviously, so that you can bend and move freely and reach things, again without injuring yourself. And stamina is particularly important so that you can sought of keep going without losing breath, so you have endurance. One other great plus about developing stamina, is that you maintain your stamina over a period of years. It actually has an affect of protecting the heart against heart disease.W: So out of those three which is most important?M: Well, it depends who you are, and what you want to do. I mean the reason for keeping fit is to keep it for your way of life, the life you choose. Now you may say, “Well, if I choose the sort of flop about in an armchair all day watching tele, I don’t need to keep very fit, do I?” Well, that’s unfortunately not true, because there are always times when you have to make a little bit of extra amount on your body by force of circumstance. You may have to suddenly lift something heavy, or move something, or may have to run for a bus or whatever, in which case you do yourself at injury, and you may even actually harm something important likeyour heart. So it is important to actually try to keep your fitness a little ahead of the sort of way of life that you have. Just to push yourself, just that little bit harder, and get yourself just that little bit fitter.Questions:1) According to the man being interviewed, for which group of people is keeping fit important?2) According to the man being interviewed, which of the following factors is not included in the idea of keeping fit?3) Which of the following is more important for protecting your heart?4) Which of the following is not true according to the interview?Part four. Listening and translation. 2. Exercises. 1. Sentence translation. Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.1. Sentence translation.1) Railway service is now being improved in many parts of the world to meet competition from road and air transport.2) Reducing population growth rate is particularly important for developing countries, because their economies cannot support too many people.3) Com puter games can improve children’s health despite research that shows excessive playing causes aggression in the young a new study claims today.4) Researchers have found that women and men do with pains differently. Women tend to focus on the emotional aspects of pain, while men tend to concentrate on the physical sensations.5) As we enter 2007 the economic growth is stable. More than 7 million jobs have been created since August 2006 and inflation and interest rates are low.2. Passage translation. Listen and translate each passage you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below. You may take notes while you are listening.1) On a whole, I find television commercials extremely annoying. I mean you are watching a film on television perhaps, and suddenly you are interrupted by the stupid commercials with a silly format which has nothing to do with the film you are watching.

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--ST 3
Sample test 3.Part A. Spot dictation. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear a passage and read the same passage with blanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the words you have heard on the tape. Write your answer in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Remember you will hear the passage only once.OK. Making a presentation is often the source of anxiety for people. They usually ranked it as one of things they least wanted to do. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some tips to make your next presentation go more smoothly. First, it’s very important to analyze the situation. Think about your audience. What do they want to know? What do you want to accomplish? What is the most effective way to get your ideas across in the time that you have? Once you figure that out, you’re ready for step 2, preparation. Make an outline of your key objectives. This will help you shape a clear presentation. You want to begin with an introduction. Go on to cover your main points and then end with a conclusion. Remember to be clear and simple. Too many details will confuse and bore your audience. The third step is practice. One of the best ways to eliminate anxiety is to spend time knowing your material. Reread it and practice speaking in front of a mirror or another person. You could also tape yourself and play it back to see how you can improve. Practice will make you more confident. The delivery of your presentation is the fourth important step. Concentrate on maintaining good gesture, speaking clearly and slowly, and making eye contact with your audience. Beginning your presentation with an anecdote or a funny story is a good way to make that initial contact with your audience. Remember to smile. Finally, it’s a good idea to use visual aids. They are very effective methods of conveying your ideas. And keep them simple and easy to read. Charts, slides, videos or hand-outs, all of these can be effective tools when used properly. Make sure you are prepared, and know how to use any equipment ahead of time. By following these 5 steps you should be able to enjoy your next presentation. Don’t dread it. Part B. Listening comprehension.1. Statements. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short statements. These statements will be spoken only once. And you will not find them written on the paper. So you must listen carefully. When you hear a statement read the answer choices and decide which one is closest in meaning to the statement you have heard. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Now let’s begin with question number one.1) Good news! I am not going to need any surgery after all. The doctor says that I can start working out again soon.2) I have to fill out these forms now. They are due at the financial aid office by tomorrow afternoon.3) I feel horrible. Jane was furious that I lost her notes. But I will let her cool off a few days before I talk to her.4) Last Monday when I was at doctor Smith’s office I spend over an hour in the waiting room. Something must have come up that day.5) About the concert tonight it’s unlikely I will be able to pick you up before 7. What about just getting together there?6) I didn’t even read the text book, but I still manage to get an A on the test. Now you know why I never miss the lecture.7) I am going to be at a lecture in the auditorium most of this morning. And you know what the air-conditioning is like there. That’s why I am wearing this sweater.8) Did you go to the concert th e other day? It’s set a record for attendance. There wasn’t an empty seat in the house.9) The state ballet is coming to town next weekend and I just happen to have one ticket, but I got some sort of conflict in my schedule.10) How much longer should I boil these vegetables? They looked pretty done to me. The recipe says it needs only about 10 minutes total.2. Talks and conversations. Directions: In this part of the test you will hear several short talks and conversations. After each of these you will hear a few questions. Listen carefully because you will hear the talk or conversation and the questions only once. When you hear a question read the four answer choices and choose the best answer to that question. Then write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet.W: For the first time ever the scientific community has established the existence of planets outside their own solar system. Of course we knew that certain distance stars existed, but only recently did we learn that several of them are orbited by their own planets.M: Why did it take so long to locate these planets?W: You have to understand that they are a billion times dimmer than their parent stars. It will be like trying to see the light of a candle next to a huge explosion. We don't currently have a telescope that can be used to see them.M: But if the astronomers didn’t see the planets through a telescope how did they find them? W: By a very indirect method. The astronomers measured subtle distortions in the frequency of light from the parent stars, and observed that some of the stars seem to rock back and forth. They determined that this was caused by gravitational pull from orbiting planets.M: There is a powerful new telescope being built in Arizona. Will that help them see these planets?W: They should be but to see them at least at the form of small spot of light, and then the scientists will be able to break down and analyze this light. By doing this they hope to learn about the chemical composition of these planets, oxygen and ozone molecules, for example, would be tell-tale signs of life on these planets.M: I am looking forward to hearing more when the telescope is in operation. And I am sure our readers will be interested too.Questions:11) What is the purpose of this conversation?12) What is the conversation mainly about?13) How did the scientist establish the existence of the planets?14) According to the professor what might the scientists learn about the planets by using the new telescope?Questions 15 to 18 are based on the following talk.I am Frank. I am having some trouble with chemistry this year. It’s hard. The teacher acts like we are so smart that we ought to have no trouble learning it. I find the text book confusing and then I get discouraged. I can’t make sense of what the teacher saying in class.Well, some of us got together and formed the study group. It seems to work OK most of the time. We compare notes and then go over the discussion questions in each chapter. The only problem is that sometimes one of my friends will come to the study group unprepared. He will forget his notes or he won’t have read the book before hand. That really bothers me. I guess those guys who don’t prepare are going to have a h ard time in the final exam. Questions:15) Which of the following subjects is Frank having trouble with?16) Which of the following statements is not true as regards Frank’s difficulty with the subject?17) What’s the learning strategy Frank and his cl assmates are using?18) Which of the following statements is not true according to Frank?Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following 2 talks.M: I am Michael. I am trying to learn this new computer program at school. It’s kind of embarrassing. Most o f the other kids have already picked it up and I just can’t get it. There is this soft ware manual at school. I borrowed the book and took it home to read, but it didn’t seem to help. There were simply too much information for me to remember. My problem is that I don’t have enough time to sit down and learn it properly. I am not sure what to do next. W: I am Sonia. I am going to France next summer. So I want to learn as much French as I can. So I started taking a French class at the local community center. Well, the great thing is that the class is free. The problem is it’s not very easy. Well, you see it’s supposed to be a beginning level class. No way, I am telling you most of the people in there, they already know how to speak French when they started the class. They can say basic conversational phrases, and they know how to pronounce the words. I am a complete beginner. I did not know one word of French when I started this class. So I always feel lost even from day one I had no idea what was going on. Now the teacher is nice, but he is not very good. He gets off the topic and he will get stock on some tiny little point for like half an hour at time. But, you know, I really shouldn’t complain it at all, because this class is free.Questions:19) What is Michael trying to learn?20) Michael admits he had some problems. Which of the following is not one of the problems he mentions in his talk?21) Why is Sonia starting to learn French?22) Sonia mentions several problems for the French class she is attending. Which of the following is not one of these problems?Questions 23 to 30 are based on the following conversation.M: Hey, Louisiana/Rosana, over here!W: Hi, Mike. How are you? Been waiting long?M: No, not at all. Have a seat.W: Oh, it’s great to see you.M: Same here. So how is the new apartment working out?W: Good! Good! I like it. The neighborhood though is …M: Oh, what’s the matter?W: Well, there is real graffiti problem. Some of the buildings down the street are covered with it, and it looks terrible.M: I know what you mean. My neighborhood is the same way. I think we need to report people who are writing the graffiti to the police.W: Yeah, that would really help, except I never see them doing it.M: Well. Other than that how is the new neighborhood?W: Well, I like all the stores. It’s convenient for shopping. And it’s pretty quiet at night. That’s definitely a plus.M: Sounds like you are pretty satisfied.W: Yeah, I guess so. The only other problem is that it’s impossible to find parking. I have to drive around to block 6 or 7 times to find the space. Usually I can find one. But sometimes I have to park really far away.M: Well, is there any way you can rent space in the garage?W: Yeah, that’s a good idea. I am thinking ab out doing just that. So how are things in your neighborhoods?M: Well, there is a bit of noise problem where I live. I live down the street from a school. The bell rings every morning at 7:30. It’s impossible to sleep in.W: Oh, what a drag!M: Yeah. And when the school lets out kids are really noisy. I mean they are nice kids, just loud.W: Well, I don’t know what you could do about that situation.M: Yeah, there is really nothing I could do, I guess. I just have to live with it. I don’t know. Questions:23) Where are Mike and Louisiana/Rosana?24) Rosana mentions that her neighborhood has several features to recommend. Which of the following does Rosana not mention?25) According to the conversation there is one real problem in both the woman’s ne ighborhood and the man’s. Which is that problem?27) What’s the other problem that Rosana mentions about her neighborhood?28) What’s the problem with Mike’s neighborhood?29) Which of the following things causes the problem?30) What can Mike do about that situation?Part C.

Following the rapid growth of modern industry and agriculture as well as the rise of coastal populations, a large volume of industrial, agricultural and domestic wastes have been discharged into the world’s seas, a large portion of which is not processed before discharge. This causes near-shore seawater to be over-saturated with organic matter. At the same time, expanding coastal development and the fishery industry has contributed to the problem.2. Since May, oil prices have been at the center of world attention, perhaps more so than at any other time since the oil crisis in 1990. The price of crude oil on the international market has climbed continuously, going beyond the record high of $55 per barrel in October. Although oil prices have fallen remarkably afterwards, the concern now is over the future of the energy market and the impact of oil prices on the world economy. The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries concluded that world economic growth is the main reason for skyrocketing oil pric es. Other factors, like the unrest in Iraq, terrorist threats, natural disasters and supply concerns, have also affected oil prices to some extent.3. 两年前在蒙特雷，国际社会在“千年发展目标”（千年目标）的指导下，创立了促进经济增长和加快减贫工作的新型伙伴关系。
