以下是店铺为大家搜索整理2017年专业英语八级考试备考重点题型讲解,希望对正在关注的您有所帮助!He was an old man with a white beard and huge nose and hands. Long before the time during which we will know him, he was a doctor and drove a jaded white horse from house to house through the streets of Winesburg. Later he married a girl who had money. She had been left a large fertile farm when her father died. The girl was quiet, tall, and dark, and to many people she seemed very beautiful. Everyone in Winesburg wondered why she married the doctor. Within a year after the marriage she died.The knuckles of the doctor's hands were extraordinarily large. When the hands were closed they looked like clusters of unpainted wooden balls as large as walnuts fastened together by steel rods. He smoked a cob pipe and after his wife's death sat all day in his empty office close by a window that was covered with cobwebs. He never opened the window. Once on a hot day in August he tried but found it stuck fast and after that he forgot all about it.Winesburg had forgotten the old man, but in Doctor Reefy there were the seeds of something very fine. Alone in his musty office in the Heffner Block above the Paris Dry Goods Company's store, he worked ceaselessly, building up something that he himself destroyed. Little pyramids of truth he erected and after erecting knocked them down again that he might have the truths to erect other pyramids.Doctor Reefy was a tall man who had worn one suit of clothesfor ten years. It was frayed at the sleeves and little holes had appeared at the knees and elbows. In the office he wore also a linen duster with huge pockets into which he continually stuffed scraps of paper. After some weeks the scraps of paper became little hard round balls, and when the pockets were filled he dumped them out upon the floor. For ten years he had but one friend, another old man named John Spaniard who owned a tree nursery. Sometimes, in a playful mood, old Doctor Reefy took from his pockets a handful of the paper balls and threw them at the nursery man. "'That is to confound you, you blithering old sentimentalist," he cried, shaking with laughter.The story of Doctor Reefy and his courtship of the tall dark girl who became his wife and left her money to him is a very curious story. It is delicious, like the twisted little apples that grow in the orchards of Winesburg. In the fall one walks in the orchards and the ground is hard with frost underfoot. The apples have been taken from the trees by the pickers. They have been put in barrels and shipped to the cities where they will be eaten in apartments that are filled with books, magazines, furniture, and people. On the trees are only a few gnarled apples that the pickers have rejected. They look like the knuckles of Doctor Reefy’ s hands. One nibbles at them and they are delicious. Into a little round place at the side of the apple has been gathered all of its sweetness. One runs from tree to tree over the frosted ground picking the gnarled, twisted apples and filling his pockets with them. Only the few know the sweetness of the twisted apples.The girl and Doctor Reefy began their courtship on a summer afternoon. He was forty-five then and already he had begun the practice of filling his pockets with the scraps of paper that became hard balls and were thrown away. The habit had beenformed as he sat in his buggy behind the jaded grey horse and went slowly along country roads. On the papers were written thoughts, ends of thoughts, beginnings of thoughts.One by one the mind of Doctor Reefy had made the thoughts. Out of many of them he formed a truth that arose gigantic in his mind. The truth clouded the world. It became terrible and then faded away and the little thoughts began again.The tall dark girl came to see Doctor Reefy because she was in the family way and had become frightened. She was in that condition because of a series of circumstances also curious.The death of her father and mother and the rich acres of land that had come down to her had set a train of suitors on her heels. For two years she saw suitors almost every evening. Except two they were all alike. They talked to her of passion and there was a strained eager quality in their voices and in their eyes when they looked at her. The two who were different were much unlike each other. One of them, a slender young man with white hands, the son of a jeweler in Winesburg, talked continually of virginity. When he was with her he was never off the subject. The other, a black-haired boy with large ears, said nothing at all but always managed to get her into the darkness, where he began to kiss her.For a time the tall dark girl thought she would marry the jeweler's son. For hours she sat in silence listening as he talked to her and then she began to be afraid of something. Beneath his talk of virginity she began to think there was a lust greater than in all the others. At times it seemed to her that as he talked he was holding her body in his hands. She imagined him turning it slowly about in the white hands and staring at it. At night she dreamed that he had bitten into her body and that his jaws weredripping. She had the dream three times, then she became in the family way to the one who said nothing at all but who in the moment of his passion actually did bite her shoulder so that for days the marks of his teeth showed...-..-.After the tall dark girl came to know Doctor Reefy it seemed to her that she never wanted to leave him again. She went into his office one morning and without her saying anything he seemed to know what had happened to her.In the office of the doctor there was a woman, the wife of the man who kept the bookstore in Winesburg. Like all old-fashioned country practitioners, Doctor Reefy pulled teeth, and the woman who waited held a handkerchief to her teeth and groaned. Her husband was with her and when the tooth was taken out they both screamed and blood ran down on the woman's white dress. The tall dark girl did not pay any attention. When the woman and the man had gone the doctor smiled. "I will take you driving into the country with me," he said.For several weeks the tall dark girl and the doctor were together almost every day. The condition that had brought her to him passed in an illness, but she was like one who has discovered the sweetness of the twisted apples, she could not get her mind fixed again upon the round perfect fruit that is eaten in the city apartments. In the fall after the beginning of her acquaintanceship with him she married Doctor Reefy and in the following spring she died. During the winter he read to her all of the odds and ends of thoughts he had scribbled on the bits of paper. After he had read them he laughed and stuffed them away in his pockets to become round hard balls.1.According to the story Doctor Reefy’s life seems very __________.A. eccentricB. normalC. enjoyableD. optimistic2.The story tells us that the tall dark girl was in the family way. The phrase “in the family way” means____________.A. troubledB. PregnantC. twistedD. cheated3.Doctor Reef lives a ___________ life.A. happyB. miserableC. easy-goingD. reckless4.

• The heavy smog sweeping across much of China reminds us of the catastrophic Great London Smog of 1952, which killed 12,000 people, as well as the measures that city took afterwards to control pollution. These measures included banning many smoke-emitting fuels, raising the minimum permissible heights of industrial chimneys, moving power stations out of the city, and many others. London eventually takes on a new look because of these measures. What measures do you think we in China should take to deal with smog pollution?

英语专业八级口试口译真题评析(以2009年、2010年真题为例)专八口译虽然是量化计分,但是参考答案往往不是唯一的,只要是在可以接受范围内都给分的。
例如:2009年英译中的第一个句子Together with my colleagues from Chang’an and Ford, I want to thank you for joining us during the inauguration of the most advanced automotive manufacturing plant in China.其中the inauguration of ...plant既可以译成“竣工投产仪式”,也可以译成“建成仪式”、“正式启用”、“启用典礼”等等都算对。
由于口译的灵活度比较大,即便是不在给定的可接受参考答案内的,经验丰富的评分老师也可以根据情况酌情给分。
所以不用担心误判的问题。
关于评分的有效性问题,实际上每位同学的录音至少有两位老师评分。
如果两位老师评分接近,那么评分有效,否则请第三位老师评分。
下面通过2009年英译中真题讲解,分析一下同学们口译中出现的常见问题以及这两年真题的参考译文。
【真题示例】2009年英译中:l . Together with my colleagues from Chang’an and Ford, I want to thank you for joining us during the inauguration of the most advanced automotive manufacturing plant in China.问题:1)这句话的前半句有部分学校录音没录上,同学白白丢了2分。
2)inauguration这个词有些同学没反应过来,还有些硬译成“就职仪式”。
参考译文:与长安和福特的同事们一起,我感谢你们参加中国最先进的汽车制造厂竣工投产仪式。

不善辞令、厌恶应酬的人,可以自由自在地徜徉于书林之中,游目四顾,俯拾皆友。
看书,可以博览,可以细嚼,没有人会怪你喜新厌旧,也没有人要求你从一而终。
你大可以从一本换到另一本,喜爱的书,不妨一读再读;不耐看的书,又可随手抛下,谁也不会因此而伤心失望。
人际关系错综复杂,那“书际关系”呢?只要花点时间去了解,再高深的学问也弄得明白。
正确答案:It is much easier to choose a book than a friend. One who is poor at speech and shuns socializing will nevertheless feel like being surrounded by friends while sauntering freely in the midst of books. Some books are to be read cursorily, and some are to be chewed and digested. None will ever call you fickle-minded, and none will ever demand that you be constant in your affection. You can go from one book to another. And you can read your favorite book over and over again. When you lay aside the book you dislike, none will ever feel hurt or disappointed. While interpersonal relations are very complicated, what about your relations with books? Devote your time to studies, and you will be able to acquire any knowledge no matter how profound it is.解析:1、这两段为论说性小品文,整体时态应为一般现在时。

专八口语考试备考攻略

专八口语考试备考攻略第一篇:专八口语考试备考攻略英语专业八级口试口译部分的备考攻略1.扩展知识面,关心国内国际时事。
口译与话题评论涉及的内容大都是社会上近期出现的热点或者是大家普遍关心的社会问题,如2010年的中译英内容就是有关世博会中国馆馆长介绍中国馆情况的讲话。
因此考生在平时备考时应该多多关心时事,对各个方面的社会问题多关注,尤其是与中国有关的时事,多看媒体评论,尤其是可以重点关注CCTV9、China Daily,Beijing Review等国内对外宣传的媒体,熟悉热点话题的中英文表达,这样才能在考试时有的放矢,发挥自如。
2.做好口译笔记,尽量不要漏译,更不可乱译和误译。
口译材料2-3分钟,口译其中的一部分或全部内容。
讲话放两遍,第一遍是完整的内容没有停顿,第二遍是需要口译的内容,通常包括4个或4个以上段落,每个段落大约包括2-3个句子。
考生在聆听录音时可以做笔记。
口译是否成功某种程度上取决于笔记是否做得好。
英语专业八级口语考试前两项的英中互译都是量化评分,而不是整体评分。
具体讲就是先把5个句子或句群从整篇讲稿中抽取出来。
再把每一个句子或句群切分为5个得分点,每个得分点分值4分。
这样英译中和中译英满分分别是100分。
例:2009年英译中的第三个句群The world’s first automobile assembly line//began operation at Ford’s plan t//over 106 years ago.//And what a journey it has been since then—bringing us all the way here//to celebrate this milestone today.//上面的例子有5个切分,每个值4分,共计20分。
不过不是每个词都需要译出来,bringing us all the way here中的all the way不译不扣分。
英语口语考试解读(附回答模板)

英语口语考试一般分为两部分,第一部分是现场抽题,要求考生朗读文章、单词、句子、音标,这一部分主要考察的是考生对语音语调的把握能力。
在第二部分,考生可能会被给到一些关于日常生活的问题,考察考生毫无准备下的应答能力及语言的表达能力。
考试开始前:假如如你说的老师问你are you ready?Shall we start?你准备好了就可以说:"yes.Thank you."没准备好就说:"sorry, not yet,would you mind giving me a few minutes, thank you."没听清楚就说:"Sorry, would you please say it again?"注意哦,此处最好不要用很老土而且不太礼貌的pardon或者可以说:"I'm sorry I couldn't catch up, would please say it again?"想换话题:"Sorry, but I would like to change a question, is that ok?"如果中途说错了什麽想改正就可以说:"sorry I made a mistake..."然后后面改正就行就这些啊··口语是很随意地·只要你表现得自如和有礼貌就行了考试进行中:Greetings and introductions;介绍人物,自我介绍。
