睡眠与梦显然我们都是需要睡眠。

大多数人很少考虑他们是如何睡眠的，也很少考虑他们为什么需睡眠。

我们知道，如果睡的好，我们就会感到有了充分的休息；如果睡眠不充足，我们常会感到疲倦和烦躁。

看来睡眠有两个目的：一是为了得到精神上的休息（或者叫心里休息）。

我们需要让自己的身体和大脑都得到休息。

每天晚上我们有两种交替出现的方式睡眠，即积极睡眠和消极睡眠。

消极睡眠给我们身体以所需要的休息，并让我们向积极睡眠过渡。

人们在积极睡眠时会做梦。

消极睡眠时我们的身体处于一种安宁的状态，我们心脏的跳动减缓，我们人体机能的运行变得非常缓慢。

我们身体很少移动，大脑几乎处于静止状态。

这一阶段的睡眠叫做慢波睡眠，因为这时脑电波处于一种非常缓慢而又节奏的波动状态。

如果我们继续睡眠，我们便会进入一个比较积极的睡眠阶段，这时人体会经历几种变化。

在这个睡眠新阶段，大脑温度会上升，大脑血液流量会增加，人体会变得几乎纹丝不动，而大脑则由静止不动转为活动状态。

随着大脑活动变得较为积极，人的眼球开始快速运动起来。

人的眼球运动表明了我们正在做梦。

整个晚上我们始终处于消极睡眠和积极睡眠两种状态相互交替的过程。

大脑保持静止，然后积极活动起来，然后我们开始做梦。

这一过程会一夜循环出现好几次。

在8小时的睡眠过程中，我们做梦的总时间平均为1个半小时。

人人都会经历这些做梦的过程，无一人例外。

许多人说自己不做梦，或者很少做梦。

而实际情况并非如同他们所说的那样，因为每个人都会做梦，事实上人人都需要通过做梦来保持身心健康。

实际情况是我们需要两种睡眠：我们需要消极睡眠以休息身体，我们还需要积极睡眠以进入梦乡，而做梦有助于我们的大脑得到休息。

音响今昔有史记载以来，人类一直痴迷于音乐，为音乐所陶醉。

用作笛子的骨哨早已出现在公元前5000年。

从石器时代的画中我们可以见到早期乐器的模样。

现代人进一步发展了对音乐的兴趣，十分钟情于用声音复制设备来录制的方式。

被誉为录音之父的托马斯爱迪生生于1877年发明了留声机，这是世界上第一台录音设备。

上外中级口译第三版听力教程原文及讲解--ST 1

Sample test one. 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.The parents set the rules and the children obey. Right? Wrong? In a growing number of North American families adults have let their children take over. Parents want to be nurturing a love and make their small children happy. But many have become confused about the best way to achieve this, explains a noted child psychologist. Large number of parents are being controlled by their children to the point that the entire families end up organizing themselves around a small child’s emotions. The problem is that many mothers and fathers try to be a friend to their children. However parenting is not a popularity contest. Challenging authority is a normal part of child development, and the strongest between the ages of 4 and 6. Setting rules and enforcing them teaches the child that he or she is equal in worth but not equal in authority. Then the child feel sage and secure and can be a kid again. Believe it or not, it’s frightening for childr en to realize they are in charge of a situation. Inup-side-down families when parents back down from rules they set, children become very insecure, anxious, and out of control. They don’t trust their parents to protect them. Parents should follow these tips to avoid the situation and keep control. Be a leader. Parents cannot guide a child and seek his or her approval of their decisions at the same time. Don’t say it’s time for bed. OK? Instead say it’s time for bed kids. Don’t make rules quickly and then c hange them. It’s very important to be consistent. Once you make a rule stick to it. Pay less attention to your children when their behavior is bad, and more when it is good. Do not reward bad behavior by giving extra attention to it. Instead save your attention for when the child acts appropriately. Don’t allow your kids to call you by your first name. This removes the authority figure in a child’s life. Children need parents not another friend.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 theanswer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your answer booklet. Now let’s begin with question number one.1) Do you think I could borrow your car to go grocery shopping? The supermarkets outside the city are so much cheaper than the one by the school.2) I got lost on my waited hotel in Boston last Sunday morning. I don’t know how I did it. I have been there a million times.3) Professor Avril sure was acting strangely in his morning class. He was talking so quietly and then not giving us any home work.4) I am sorry sir. But you are allowed only one piece of luggage on the plane. You will have to check one of the suit cases at the luggage counter.5) You wer en’t in class this morning. So you probably haven’t heard that the deadline has been extended a week.6) Are you going to the store? Well, I am low on laundry detergent, I forgot to buy some when I was at the supermarket yesterday afternoon.7) I just ca lled the travel agent. It’s all set. In the first week of next month, I am heading for the beach for an entire week.8) I worked very hard on my research paper. But the professor said that I made many broad claims that won’t support it enough.9) You say you really like those abstract paintings we saw in our art history class today, but I guess it’s something I haven’t acquired a taste for yet.10) You will be staying at the Hilton, right across the street from the conference center. But I am at the Royal Hotel 6 miles away.中级口译听力教程第三版8AAn intermediate course of English listening. Third edition.Sample test one.Part B. Listening comprehension. 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.Questions 11 to 14 are based on the following talk.Community service is an important component of education here at our university. We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate.A new community program called one-on-one helps elementary students who fallen behind. You education majors might be especially interested in it, because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is tutoring in math and English. You’d have to volunteer 2 hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject 2 days a week. Professor Doge will act as mentor to the tutors. He will be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week. I am sure you will enjoy this community service and you will gain valuable experience at the same time. It looks good on your resume too, showing that you had experience with children, and that you care about your community. If you like to sign up or if you have any questions stop by professor Doge’s office this week.Questions:11) What is the purpose of this talk?12) What is the purpose of the program described by the man?13) What does professor Doge do?14) What should students interested in the tutorial do?Questions 15 to 21 are based on the following 2 talks.W: Well, I went away to college when I was 17. I had never lived away from my parents before. And I was really looking forward to it. But I was also scared because I was leaving my friends behind. And I didn’t know anyone when I first arrived. I lived in a really big dormitory and shared a room with 2 other girls. I guess the thing I learn the most was how to get long with others. You know how to respect other peo ple’s opinions and properties, stuff like that. At home I don’t always have my own room. This was the first time I’d have to live with other people in the same room. We were all really different. I mean our personalities and life styles were completely opposite in some ways. Anyway, at first it really caused problems, but we learned how to get along living in those tight cordors, three 17 years olds live in one room. Can you imagine? I am surprised we survived at all.M: I think for myself. The hardest thing was learning how to manage my own time better. I used to stay up late watching TV a lot, didn’t eat well, often went to class unprepared, and things like that. My grades were really suffering, and I could hardly keep my eyes open in class. It was a drag. Somehow, midway through the semester, I changed and started to do well. Organizing my time was a real challenge. In high school I didn’t have to worry. I had the same schedule everyday. And at night my parents were pushing me to study. But it’s different when you go away to college. You have to learn to take responsibility for your actions. No one is going to tell you what to do. You have to figure it out for yourself.Questions:15) How old was the woman when she went away to college?16) Why did she feel scared when she first arrived at the college?17) The women mentions that she learned several things at college, which of the following is not one of these things?18) Which was the most difficult thing for the man when he went away to college?19) Which of the following statements is not true as to his performance when he first arrived at college?20) When did he change and start to improve?21) According to the man what’s the thing you have to learn when you go away to college? Questions 22 to 26 are based on the following conversation.M: I just found out that my parents are moving.W: Mm, are you surprised?M: Well, not really. They’ve been trying to sell their house for 6 months to a year now.W: Oh, well, I thought they liked where they were.M: They do. They love it. But they are getting older. Dad wants to live in a smaller town. And mom says she is sick and tired of the fast pace and taking care of the house, you know.W: Mm. So where are they going to move?M: I can not believe this.W: What?M: They are going to Mexico. Can you believe it?W: Oh, my Gosh. You are kidding.M: Nope. They are going to San Miguel De Olanda. It’s a gorgeous little town in mountains. W: Wow, I have never heard of it.M: It’s about 115 miles northwe st of Mexico city.W: Wow, do your parents speak Spanish?M: No, but they are going to learn.W: Wow, that is a big change. Why don’t they stay in the US?M: Well, they always want to live abroad. Now that they are retired they finally get to do it. And my dad, he adores Mexico. He has been there 6 or 7 times at least.W: Wow, sounds like this is going to be quite an adventure.M: It should be. In San Miguel it is stunning. The government has made sure that there are no new buildings ever built there. So that the traditional feeling of the town. Wow, it’s been preserved. Oh, and they made pottery there, which is perfect for my mother, because she collects the stuff.W: Oh, that’s great for her. So I guess now you are going to have a place to stay in M exico. M: Yeah.W: And a place for your friends to come and visit in Mexico.M: Well, if my friends are nice to me, I suppose something could be arranged. Did you have anybody in particular in mind?W: Oh, very funny. So when exactly are they moving?M: In a couple of months. They have to pack up and take care of all the business here. I am going to help them with the move. I may even try to stay a couple of months if I can swing the time.Questions:22) Why is the man not really surprised at his par ents’ moving?23) The man mentions several reasons to explain why his parents are moving, which of the following is not one of the reasons?24) Where his parents planning to move?25) According to the conversation which of the following statement is not true?26) When exactly are they moving?Questions 27 to 30 are based on the following talk.OK. Let’s talk a little bit today about Steve Jobs, founder of Apple Computer. Jobs, a college drop out, a drop out who then goes on to start a revolutionary computer company, that changed the way the world perceive the computer and its role in society. Steve jobs believed, I should say strongly believed that the computer should and would become a tool for the everyday person. In his own words, he says, quote, we started it out to get a computer in the hands of everyday people. And we succeeded beyond the wildest dreams. And succeed he did, in 1977 the world’s first mass marketed personal computer, the apple two, came out. Hundreds and hundreds of thousands were sold. Other companies sprang up. And by 1985 there were 38 million computers in the world. In the year 2000, that number climbed to 557 million. In millions of homes across the globe, we communicate by computer, we play games, we get and give information, we shop, we work, we organize our personal finances, all done on a personal everyday home computer. Now behind Jobs’ belief that the computer should made available to the everyday person, was a true underlined belief in technology, that technology could be used to better our lives. The seventies saw real revolution in technology, but people like Steve Jobs were motivated by more than just the need to be involved in the technological revolution. He wanted to shape it. Jobs believed that it’s important to comb ine technology and art to be creative. With this kind of thinking it’s not too surprising to see why the macintosh has become a favorite among artists, graphic designers, professionals in the publishing and video and animation industries. Jobs says, quote, the macintosh turned out so well because the people working on it were musicians, artists, poets, and historians, who also happen to be excellent computer scientists. So Jobs believed in technology. He believed it could be made available to everyone, and he believed that it could be used as a tool for creativity. He was certainly a pioneer.Questions:27) Which of the following statements is not true about Steve Jobs?28) In which year was the first mass marketed personal computer produced?29) How many computers were there in the world in the year of 2000?30) What was Steve Jobs true underlined belief?Part C. Listening and translation.1. Sentence translation. Directions: Listen and translate each sentence you have heard into Chinese. Then write it in the space given below.1) It’s very difficult to quit smoking, which is why it is better not to start smoking in the first place. Doctors often say smoking kills.2) Most of the people I know are interested in the proposed tax reform being debated in the congress. Because they hope it will lower taxes for them.3) If more companies provide child’s care facilities at work, they will really help mothers who had to work outside of their homes.4) You shouldn’t be worried about making new friends. It w ill happen gradually. By this time next year I am sure you will have made many new friends5) There are more high school drop outs than before. Thus there are more unqualified young people looking for jobs than there used to be.2. Passage translation. Directions: Listen and translate each passage you have heard intoChinese. Then write it in the space given below. You may take notes while you are listening.1) You know the one issue that I feel the strongest about is the environment. Well, maybe it’sa little bit expensive to change our ways, but we have to try. We need to take care of the world we live in. So I think we can all do small things like recycle plastics and be careful not to waste water and electricity. You know what they say. We only have one world so we shouldn’t mess it up.2) For me freedom speech is very important. We should always be allowed to say what we believe, especially now. You know that people want to send to the internet, they want to limit what we have access to our computers. Well, I don’t agree with that at all. Of course I know it’s a tricky question, where do you draw the line on what should be controlled? What limit should be placed on our freedom of speech? I suppose there have to be some limits set, but I say the fewer the better. Maybe the best thing is just set aside everything on a case by case bases.。

Listen and interpret the following conversation alternatively into English and Chinese:A: 罗伯茨先生，很高兴再次见到您。

您的投资意向是明智的。

我公司也正在寻求外资，合办一家生产元绳电话和移动电话的制造公司，您的提议很好。

罗伯茨先生，我还记得一年前曾同您讨论过有关外国在华投资的事情。

其结果是触发了我同贵公司合资办企业的念头。

你的回答很坦率，你的解释很诚恳，很有说服力。

现在我想搭乘中国经济快车，分享你们的经济成果，好吗?A: 当然可以。

欢迎罗伯茨先生加入我们的行列!我们来讨论一下合资企业的事宜吧。

您能告诉我您的设想吗? of course. Welcome aboard. Mr. Roberts! Let's get down to the business of, this joint venture. May 1 have some idea of your proposal?B: 1 did a lot of research in the market of telecommunications(通讯)equipment lately. There's a potential market for cordless and mobile phones in China and elsewhere in the world. initially, 1 would like to embark(使着手)on this joint venture business at a moderate(有节制的;稳健的)rate. with a safe scale. My suggestion for the amount of total capital investment is in the vicinity of eight million US dollars, a lucky number in China, 1 suppose.A. 很好。

800 万岂止是个吉利数字，我认为这对启动这家合资企业来说是很合适的。

那么您在合资中打算占多少投资比重呢? Very good. Eight million is more than a lucky number; it's the right number for the initiation of this joint venture, as I understand it. But how much would be your share of investment in this partnership?B: My contribution is 50% of the total investment. including the construction funds and the cost of all the imported(进口) equipment, and the engineers，technicians and management staff from my home company.A: 我对你这个5 : 5 对半开的合伙投资比例很满意。

这就是说，我们在经营管理和利润分配上也保持一种5 : 5 对半开的权益关系。

1 like the idea of a 50 to 50 investment partnership, in which case there will be a 50-to-50 distribution in business management and profit share.B: You're absolutely right.A: 接下来的问题是产品的营销.无绳电话在中国有很大的需求盘，但是我们无法保证在国内推销50% 移动电话.此外，我们需要增加外汇储备，"天晴还需防雨天嘛'二我建议贵方负责向海外推销65% 以上的移动电话，您看如何?我相信您对外汇的需求大于对人民币的需求。

The problem then involves the marketing of the manufactured products. Cordless phones are in high demand in China , but we can't guarantee a 50% domestic marketing of mobile phones. Besides, we need to increase our foreign exchange reserve for the rainy day. May 1 suggest that you market at least 65% of the total number .of mobile phones internationally? 1 believe you need more foreign currency than our renminbiB: 1 love renminbi. We all know it is one of the strongestcurrencies in the world. And 1 have heard that the Chinese yuan will become a convertible（可兑换的） currency soon. But 1 accept your proposal(建议) and we will be responsible for the international marketing of two-thirds of the mobile phones.A: 好极了。

That's beautiful.B: Two more questions. One concerns the term of our partnership and the other the management's structure of the venture. 还有两个问题需要解决。

一个问题是有关我们的合作期限，另另一个问题涉及企业管理人员的结构。

A: 至于我们的合作期限，我们可以定为15 年，只要双方愿意，合同期满后我们还可以续签。

您意下如何? As for the term of the partnership, let's start with a 15-year term for this joint venture, and extend the contract later if both parties wish to continue the partnership. What do you say to this?B: That's quite logical. May 1 suggest that we set up a board of directors for the management of the company and share rights and obligations as equal partners? 非常合理。

我建议成立董事会来监管公司的业务运作，我们以平等的伙伴关系来分享我们的权利和义务。

A. 正合我的想法。

下周我们是否再举行一轮会谈，详细讨论一些技术性问题? That coincides with our usual practice. Shall wehold another round of discussion next week on some technical problems in a more detailed way?B: That's fine. 1 like to work with you, as 1 did before. It's been a very rewarding day. 好的。

同以往一样，我乐意与你合作。

今天的收获很大A. 收获确实很大。

罗伯茨先生，祝您周末愉快。

Yes , indeed. Have a nice weekend , Mr. Roberts!B: You, too.Listen and interpret the following conversation alternatively into English and Chinese:A: 罗伯获先生，您在中国生活两年了，还习惯吧? Mr. Roberts, you have been living in China for two years. How do you like it? B: 1 think I 'm quite used to my Chinese life here. Actually 1'm thinking about settling down in China for good.A: 前几天我看了一部美国电影，片名叫《美国丽人》。
