上海市高级口译第一阶段笔试真题2018年09月_真题无答案
上海市高级口译第一阶段笔试真题2018年09月(总分300, 做题时间180分钟)SECTION 1: LISTENING TESTPart A: Spot DictationDirections: 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 word or words you have heard. Write your answer in the corresponding space on your Answer Sheet. Remember you will hear the passage only once.Last week, we discussed the concept of joint legal custody. Today, let's turn to 1 . In recent years, shared or joint physical custody has gained tremendous popularity as a meansof 2 after a divorce. While the court has the final word on custody decisions, the judge upholds 3 .Physical custody refers to the parent's right to have the children actually reside 4 . Shared physical custody can take many forms, from summers at father's and the school year with mother, 5 every other day. Children have two primary residences, even if 6 is not equal. As we have learned last week, joint legal custody refers to 7 for making major decisions about a child's welfare includingeducation, 8 , regardless of where the children are living. Frequently divorcing couples 9 without sharing physical custody.We may ask: Why has joint physical custody 10 ? One positive reason is that women and men are realizingmore 11 , and more men want to have a primary role in their lives. Many fathers are no longer content tobe 12 while Mom retains sole custody. As traditional marital roles change, so are our concepts of the best wayto 13 .Another reason for the increase in popularity relates to the increase in mothers who must work full-time. 14 becomes quite difficult for a mother if she has a demanding full-time job, especially one 15 . Many couples, whose pre-separation lives were already stretched thin, find they must 16 to manage the childcare needs.In some cases, the choice of shared physical custody may help avoid a prolonged, bitter custody battle which is 17 . Because of the very nature of the adversarial process in a divorce, conflict is often exacerbated and 18 . In most cases, ajudge will rule in favor of what is 19 of the child.

Each one is followed by several questions about it. You are to choose One best answer, A, B, C or D, to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and mark the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet with a thick line through the centre.. We are living in a world defined by digital transformation. The ongoing evolution of analytics and business intelligence, the explosion in big data and world-changing innovations acrossartificial intelligence, machine-learning and deep-learning are all converging to provide businesses with unparalleled insight and a new understanding of their customers, competitors, challenges and future potential. It is this enhanced understanding of the future business landscape, the power of predictive analytics, which is driving real change across the energy industry.Twenty years ago, if a plant shut down, maintenance was a "necessary evil" with the bottom line taking a hit from the resulting days of unforeseen downtime. Executives of energy firms were making decisions without the power to predict. Like a seismologist tracking the next big earthquake, there was no sure way of knowing when thenext shutdown would happen, causing profits to plunge. It was a huge and seemingly intractable problem for industry to address. Nothing hurts a capital-intensive business like unplanned downtime. As an example, one large mid-stream oil and **pany was recently reported to be losing close to $1 million for each failure of an oil well pump.Companies have spent millions in the past trying to address the unplanned downtime issue, but until now they have only been able to address wear and age-based failures because they lacked insight into the process-induced failures that are estimated to cause more than 80% of unplanned downtime. Today, however, through advances in machine-learning and the science of maintenance, energy firms are empowered with technology and real-time operational data that can detect breakdowns before they occur. With a stable plant and active assets, business leaders Can plan, increase performance of their business and raise profitability, safe in the knowledge that plant maintenance is seen as a way of delivering value to the organisation, and not as a cost centre and burden. It's a complete transformation, but how exactly has it come about?Digitalisation is far from new to the energy industry, after all. Asset-intensive industries have been capturing reams of data, much of it from internet-enabled sensors, but also from data historians and other information sources, since the late-1970s. That process has accelerated significantly in recent years. Energy and**panies in capital-intensive industries now have access to growing volumes of real-time data, as sensors become more pervasive and less expensive, and as advanced analytics are fed through increased connectivity. But this high-speed access to more and more data is not by itself giving decision-makers the time or the insights they need to break through operational excellence barriers.The tipping **es with the practical and reliable application of machine-learning. Asset performance management (APM) has always been key in this industry in keeping assets up and running, but it had previously relied on statistical projections and rule-of-thumb estimates to define likely future performance. APM is evolving fast, driven by the catalyst of low-touch machine-learning. This represents a breakthrough in automating data collection, cleansing and analysis to provide prescriptive maintenance, protection for equipment. The integration of the two marks a transition from estimated engineering and statistical models towards measuring patterns of asset behaviour.Deployed coherently, with appropriate automation, low-touch machine-learning enables greater agility and flexibility to incorporate current, historical and projected conditions from process sensors, and mechanical and process events. Systems become more agileand are able to adapt to real data conditions—and incorporate the nuances of asset behaviour. Now previous maintenance practices can be improved to recognise issues affecting asset degradation. Operational integrity improves when organisations implement strategies to detect root causes early and avoid unplanned downtime. The latest breed of APM solutions is ready to improve reliability, lift net product output and increase profitability, marking it clear that the power to predict is driving positive change across the energy sector.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1. According to the author, what is the driving force for change across the energy industry? ______•** new understanding of one's customers **petitors.** profitability of businesses.•** explosion in big data.** power of predictive analytics.AABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL2. What is the main cause for the unplanned downtime of companies? ______•** wear and age-based failures.•** problems related to asset behaviour.•** process-induced failures.** problem of asset-degradation.AABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL3. For decision-makers of today, what is the most important to gain insights to break through operational excellence barriers? ______•** application of machine-learning.•** collection of real time data.•** projections.** estimates.AABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL4. All of the following statements about asset performance management are true EXCEPT that ______.•** has always been important in keeping assets up and running •** **panies access to growing volumes of real-time data** rapid development is attributable to the catalyst of machine learning** is ready to improve reliability and lift net product outputAABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL5. Which of the following can best serve as the title for the passage? ______•** to predict.•** to compete.•** to increase performance.** to address failures.AABBCCDD. "I've always kind of felt like eventually it was going to happen here too." That was what one student said at Santa Fe High School in Texas after the latest school shooting. An understandable sentiment, given how often such shootings are in the news, but mistaken statistically: With more than 55 million students in our schools, the odds of one of them becoming the victim of a mass shooting are vanishingly small. Still, mass school shootings **mon enough that the responses have become routinized, even ritualized: paramilitary police, armored vehicles, news conferences, thoughts and prayers—and more precautions.Preparation is already the norm. Two-thirds of American school districts conduct "active shooter" drills. Most of America's students know exactly what to do: Move to designated safe spaces, lock doors, turn off lights, silence phones, hide in closets, make the space appear empty. Then, when instructed, evacuate single-file, hands over head. Santa Fe High School had such drills, as well as armed officers and security cameras. Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla: had drills too. "I don't think we could have been more prepared." one Stoneman Douglas teacher said.Nevertheless, 17 students and teachers died in Parkland, and 10 more died in Texas last week. All that preparation wasn't enough. So, predictably, there are calls for more precautions—for controlled entry, locked doors, bag searches—just as there were calls for more after Parkland, when Sen. Mike Rounds of South Dokota prescribed "multiple lines of defense" at every school in the country. Every precaution, that is, except for one: limiting access to guns. It's the single line of defense that we as a nation are unwilling to contemplate, even though guns create the need for all those defenses.When I was a child in Los Angeles, we held earthquake drills. But the adults organizing those drills weren't operating a machine to generate earthquakes. The fact that guns are widely available is notsome biblical plague. It's a policy choice we make. But rather than confront that choice, we circle its symptoms, and many of our responses are as unnecessary as they are useless. Terrible as this latest mass shooting is, most American students will never be touched directly by one. Few of the hundreds of thousands of students who joined the March for Our Lives will ever confront an actual shooter.Instead of treating our schools as "hardened targets," we might consider keeping them open and unguarded. We could let our kids spend their time studying math, writing and geography rather thanpracticing how to hide in a closet. They might be safer this way, because the alternative presents a more insidious danger: Being slowly, subtly nudged into a state of continuous fear. We are becoming a nation not of free people, but of first responders, sacrificing open space and minds for ever-multiplying lines of defense. And we are teaching our children to be the same.We are conditioning them to run from danger instead of seeking its source. We are teaching them that violence is normal, that the implements of violence are a given instead of a choice. In our idolatry of the 2nd Amendment we proclaim that guns protect our freedom, but we are purchasing that freedom by chaining ourselves to an altar of fear. And so we all become victims.We are also participants. Every time you enter a secured building, every time **pany or your school organizes a shooter drill, you are being trained. Trained to walk through metal detectors instead of asking why metal detectors are needed; to supply students with transparent backpacks or ban trench coats instead of creating an environment in which a backpack isn't a threat and a trench coat is just an eccentric fashion choice; to praise heroic teachers for saving their students. But as a participant, you can also choose to ask your human resources department, your legislator, yourself: Why are these measures necessary? Why is there one thing we have never tried? We are the ones making the earthquake.Our children should not be slaughtered in their schools, but neither should they have to train not to get slaughtered. They should not have to learn to lock doors when their friends are screaming in the hallway, to obey the rituals so that the shooter might pass by, like the angel of death. There's an idea: Perhaps we should mark the doorposts with blood. Would that keep us safe? In Parkland and in Santa Fe, despite their preparations, they ended up doing that too. And soon, in a school that almost surely won't be your child's,they'll be marking the doors again.SSS_SINGLE_SEL6. Which of the following is the routinized response to mass school shootings? ______•** access to guns across the country.•** easy access of guns to teachers.•** marking of the doorposts of a school with blood.** of police forces and armored vehicles.AABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL7. The expression "biblical plague'(para. 4) can most probably be replaced by ______.•** epidemic•** pandemic•** disaster** catastropheAABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL8. Which of the following is NOT the author's opinion on mass school shootings? ______•** of our responses are both unnecessary and useless.•** should not treat our schools as "hardened targets".•** should be more bag searches at the school entrance.** is important to find the source of such shootings.AABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL9. What is the implied meaning of the sentence "We are the ones making the earthquake" (para. 7)? ______•** earthquakes in the world are caused by humans.•** are supposed to be responsible for the environmental problems.•** are in urgent need of earthquake drills.** policy choice we make leads to more school shootings.AABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL10. In this article, the author is trying to ______.•** the effectiveness of the precautions•** limiting access to guns to prevent future shootings•** the presence of police forces in schools** the similarities between school shootings and earthquakesAABBCCDD. No wonder they are called "patients". When people enter the health-care systems of rich countries today, they know what they will get: prodding doctors, endless tests, baffling jargon, rising costsand, above all, long waits. Some stoicism will always be needed, because health care is complex and diligence matters. But frustration is boiling over. This week three of the biggest names in American business—Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase—announced a new venture to provide better, cheaper health care for their employees. A fundamental problem with today's system is that patients lack knowledge and control. Access to data can bestow both.The internet already enables patients to seek online consultations when and where it suits them. Yet radical change demands a shift in emphasis, from providers to patients and from doctors to data. That shift is happening. Technologies such as the smartphone allow people to monitor their own health. You can enhance your own care and everyone else's, too.Medical data may not seem like the type of kindling to spark a revolution. But the flow of information is likely to bear fruit in several ways. One is better diagnosis. Someone worried about their heart can now buy a watch strap containing a medical-grade monitor that will detect arrhythmias. Apps are vying to see if they can diagnose everything from skin cancer and concussion to Parkinson's disease. Research is under way to see whether sweat can be analysed for molecular biomarkers without the need for an invasive blood test. Some think that changes in how quickly a person swipes a phone's touch-screen might signal the onset of cognitive problems.A second benefit lies in the management of complex diseases. Diabetes apps can change the way patients cope, by monitoring blood-glucose levels and food intake, potentially reducing long-run harm such as blindness and gangrene. Patients can also improve the efficiency of their care. Although health records are increasingly electronic, they are often still trapped in silos. Many contain data that machines cannot read. This can lead to delays in treatment, or worse. Many of the 250,000 deaths in America attributable to medical error each year can be traced to poorly coordinated care. With data at their fingertips, common standards to enable sharing and a strong incentive to get things right, patients are more likely to spot errors.A final benefit of putting patients in charge stems from the generation and aggregation of their data. Artificial intelligence (AI) is already being trained by a unit of Alphabet, Google's **pany, to identify cancerous tissues and retinal damage. As patients' data stream from smartphones and "wearables", they will teach AIS to do ever more. Future AIS could, for instance, provide automated medical diagnosis from a description of your symptoms, spot behaviouraltraits that suggest you are depressed or identify if you are at special risk of cardiac disease.As with all new technologies, pitfalls accompany the promise. Hucksters will launch apps that do not work. But with regulators demanding oversight of apps that present risks to patients, userswill harm only their wallets. Not everyone will want to take active control of their own health care; plenty will want the professionals to manage everything. Fine. Data can be pored over by those who are interested, while those who are not can opt to share data withtrusted providers. The benefits of new technologies often flow disproportionately to the rich. Those fears are mitigated by the incentives that employers, governments and insurers have to invest in cost-efficient preventive care for all.Other risks are harder to deal with. Greater transparency may encourage the hale and hearty not to take out health insurance. They may even make it harder for the unwell to find cover. Regulations can slow that process—by requiring insurers to ignore genetic data, for example—but not stop it. Security is another worry. Almost a quarter of all data breaches in America happen in health care. Health firms should face stringent penalties if they are slapdash about security, but it is naive to expect that breaches will never happen.Will the benefits of making data more widely available outweigh such risks? The signs are that they will. Plenty of countries are now opening up their medical records, but few have gone as far as Sweden. It aims to give all its citizens electronic access to their medical records by 2020; over a third of Swedes have already set up accounts. Studies show that patients with such access have a better understanding of their illnesses, and that their treatment is more successful. Trials in America and Canada have produced not just happier patients but lower costs, as clinicians fielded fewer inquiries. That should be no surprise. No one has a greater interest in your health than you do. Trust in Doctor You.SSS_SINGLE_SEL11. The word "stoicism" (para. 1) refers one's attitude or personality characterized by ______.•** repression of prejudice•** repression of emotion•** expression of satisfaction** expression of angerAABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL12. What is the possible solution to the fundamental problem with today's health care system? ______•** shift in emphasis.•** medical-grade monitor.•** medical diagnosis.** to medical data.AABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL13. Which of the following is NOT likely to be the fruit of the flow of medical information? ______•** management of complicated diseases.•** treatment of cognitive problems.•** possibility of putting patients in charge.** improvement of the efficiency of the care of patientsAABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL14. Which of the following may be considered a pitfall accompanying the promise of many medical benefits? ______•** will launch apps that do not function.•** baffling jargon of medical examination.•** disproportionate flow of profits to insurers.** records contain data that machines cannot read.AABBCCDDSSS_SINGLE_SEL15. What is the main idea of the passage? ______•** three **panies will provide better health care for their employees.** data more available will lead to the elimination of relevant risks.•** with access to digital data are better-off in the treatment of their illnesses.** is the boldest in opening up its medical records.AABBCCDD. Google has imagined a future where it uses enormous quantities of data it collects on individuals to manipulate their behaviour and achieve "desired results" for the whole species. In a leaked video from **pany's secretive X research division, the narrator cites Richard Dawkin's book The Selfish Gene and depicts Google's data as a "selfish ledger" which treats users as "transient carriers" or "survival mechanisms" for valuable data. He says that the ledger could move beyond a passive record to actively influence people's actions, in line with Google's "values". If Google didn't have enoughdata on a particular user its algorithms would identify a suitable "smart" product to sell him or her to gather that data.Google dismissed the video as a "thought experiment" unrelated to any present or future plans. However, analysts said that the dystopian future it painted was plausible. Similar ideas can be found in some of the firm's patent applications, including one for "detecting and correcting potential errors in user behaviour". The**es at a particularly embarrassing time for Google as technology **e under pressure from politicians over their harvesting of users' data. One Times digital editor recently discovered that Google held almost a terabyte of data on him, the equivalent of 1, 024GB or tens of millions of word files, including his search and browsing history, his movements, and his photos and emails.In the eight-minute clip from 2016 the narrator says: "User-centred design principles have dominated the world of computing for many decades but what if we looked at things a little differently? What if the ledger could be given a volition or purpose rather than simply acting as a historical reference?" He says that, to begin with, users would retain control over the goals set by the ledger, with "Google...responsible for offering suitable targets". He added: "Whilst the notion of a global good is problematic, topics would likely focus on health or environmental impact to reflect Google's values as an organisation."The footage explains how, initially, people could change their phone settings to ask Google for help to "eat more healthily", "protect the environment" or "support local businesses", for example. After choosing to protect the environment, Google would use popup notifications to nudge a user to take a shared Uber, rather than a single-occupancy one, or to buy locally grown rather than imported fruit. Nevertheless, as the notion of a "goal-driven ledger" becomes more "palatable", the narrator says that behaviour-altering plans could be put into action without the user's instigation. To gain more data "which it requires to better understand the user", the ledger might attempt to sell a particular connected device that would give Google the required insights.If no existing product fits, the narrator says that Google's algorithm may investigate a "bespoke solution", using historical data on the user's tastes and "aesthetic sensibility" to create a new device that's likely to appeal and would gather the sought-after data. The narrator says that by gathering **prehensive data over multiple generations, as sensors become ubiquitous in the world around us, Google would gain powers to make "increasingly accurate predictions about decisions and future behaviours"—and ultimately to influence them.。
高中英语 畅谈中国文化 第19章 上海男人素材
英语畅谈中国文化50主题第19章 Shanghai Men 上海男人A: "You don't act like a typical man from shanghai. "For a man from shanghai, such a comment is both a compliment and an offence. Usually he doesn't know how to respond.B: Why?A: Because in northern china, men from Shanghai are usually perceived as "womanly." They are extremely detail-oriented and spend too much time doing housework, which in the eyes of a Northerner, should only be done by women. In other words, shanghai men have too much respect for women. In comparison, men from Northern China are the hands-off type. They don't like house chores, and they'd feel embarrassed to be subservient to their wives. The worst nickname for a Northern man is Qi Gauanyan meaning henpeckedB: What kind of a man does a Chinese girl like to marry?A: It depends. Currently, more women like to marry Shanghai men because they are more understanding, considerate and helpful. Have you ever seen the film What Women Want? The main character of the movie is Nick Marshall. He was struck by lightening and, as a result, he acquired the extrasensory ability of reading a woman's mind. He got tremendous benefit from this ability both in his career of advertising women's products and in his private life. Understanding women has become a new criterion for an ideal man. There is certainly no need for a shanghai man to be hit by lightening to become an ideal husbandB: Is this part of local culture in shanghai？A: Shanghai has been very open a commercial city for many years, as a result of its longstanding Western influence. People tend to be more practical and chivalrous. You don't find a lot of male chauvinism there. Before the 1980s, Shanghai men used to be laughed at for their lack of manly character,but now they have become examples of an ideal husband. For men in the North, especially in Beijing, the reason for their male chauvinism is the bureaucratic environment associated with the Imperial Court. They want to look important, even in front of their wives. Of course, I’m only making a general comment. Men in the North can also be very tender and considerate. If you run into a man carrying a lady's handbag next to a woman in a supermarket, most likely, he is a Northerner.B: It’s good for men to be chivalrous, but I’m not too keen on carrying a woman's handbag. A man is a man after all. No matter where he's from.。

上海高级口译考试口试阶段口译真题
上海高级口译考试（2009年春季）Part 1: English-Chinese InterpretingPassage 1Today, I shall make a direct give-and-take with everyone present, who is among the elite group in IT industry. First, mutually beneficial economic cooperation of China and America pushes forward the IT industry to a win-win situation for both countries. Secondly the Sino-US trade cooperation is highly complementary. The entry of US capital and technology into China brought along the investment of international capital. And China’s rapid development brings abundant returns for foreign-invested enterprises. //Enjoying general common ground and solid foundation of cooperation, under the five principles of Sino-American fair trade and economic cooperation, China is willing to deepen and widen our cooperation to push forward the rapid development of IT industry in both countries. We welcome more American companies to set up joint ventures in China, and Chinese government will devote itself to creating a favorable investment environment for bilateral cooperation.Passage 2This is a defining moment in our history. We face the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression - 760,000 workers have lost their jobs these years. Businesses and families can’t get credit. Home values are falling, and pensions are disappearing. Wages are lower than they’ve been in a decade. At a moment like this, we can’t afford four more years of spending increases, poorly designed tax cuts, or the complete lack of regulatory oversight of financial mechanism that even former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan now believes was a mistake. //If there’s one thing we’ve learned from this economic crisis, it’s that we are all in this together. From CEOs to shareholders, from financiers to factory workers, we all have a stake in each other’s success because the more Americans prosper, the more America prospers. So will create two million new jobs by rebuilding our infrastructure. We’ll invest in renewable energy, creating five million new, green jobs that pay well, and can help end our dependence on Middle East Oil. //Part 2: Chinese-English InterpretingPassage 1欢迎各位参观我国东部最大的博物馆——华东博物馆。

Define a healthy way of life in terms of both physical and mental well-being. 2. What contributes to a healthy way of life？ What can man do to help live a healthy way of life？ 3. What factors do you think will prevent one from living such a life？ . ⼆、⼝译题 1、Part A （英译中） Passage 1： The In an era dominated by electronics and telecommunications， we can never emphasize too much the importance of change. Motorola defines “change” as challenge and opportunity. The past decade has seen Motorola seize the opportunities opened up by changes in China and build itself into one of the most successful American investors in the country. ∥ With a firm commitment and substantial investment， we promote technological progress in China. By doing so，Motorola's brand has become a household name in China. China is both an opportunity and a challenge. We have laid a lot of groundwork， and helped China to implement its own strategy. We will reinvest and bring new technology into China. Passage 2： For most people， almost any place can become a tourist destination as long as it is different from the place where the traveler usually lives. London may not be a tourist attraction to a Londoner， but for a New Yorker it may have many charms. Many big cities offer a unique atmosphere and history. The Great Wall and the Palace Museum of Beijing， and the cable cars of San Francisco are part of the unusual atmosphere of those cities.∥ Smaller and yet well-known towns and rural areas throughout the world may also have attractions of this kind that tourists visit. An excellent example is the small village town of Stratford， Shakespeare's birthplace. Of course， natural scenery has always been an attraction for tourists. Millions of people have visited Niagara Falls， for example. Its reputation as a place for a honeymoon resort is world-famous. 2、Part B（中译英） Passage1： 现代化的交通、电信与⼤众传媒⼿段使世界变得越来越⼩，国际社会如同⼀个地球村，居住在地球村⾥的各国⼈民在⽂化交流中彼此尊重、共求发展。

上海市高级口译真题
11月上海市高级口译真题A卷一、口语题1、Topic：The information age and the promotion of China’s modernization2、Question for Reference：1. What do you know about the information age？2. Discuss the importance of information technology to China’s modernizati on.3. How could we prepare ourselves for the coming information revolution？二、口译题1、Part A （英译中）Passage 1：The 20th century has seen the rise and decline of a succession of industries in the United States. The automobile industry has had to struggle to meet the challenge of foreign competition. Many new industries have appeared. Many of the currently rising industries are among what are known as high-tech industries，because of their dependence on the latest developments in technology.∥High-tech industries tend to be highly automated and thus need fewer workers than traditional industries such as steel-making. As high-tech industries have grown and older industries have declined in recent years，the proportion of American workers employed in manufacturing has declined. Service industries—industries that sell a service rather than make a product—now dominate the economy.Passage 2：Like other degenerative diseases，heart disease is ordinarily present for a very long time in the body before obvious and drastic symptoms appear. In fact，for most young people in our country，heart often begins in their early twenties. It grows worseover the years until finally the inevitable heart attack strikes.∥For most people the first heart attack does not come until a certain age，say their fifties or sixties. But for thousands of people every year，the first heart attack comes in the twenties and occasionally even a person in his teens may experience a serious heart attack. In this way we can say that heart disease is more dangerous to the younger generation，since they are not at all prepared for it.2、Part B（中译英）Passage1：欢迎各位游览东海世界公园。

第19篇上海的魅力
上海是世界上最大的港口城市之一。
这座昔日远东第一大都市已发展成为中国重要的经济、金融、贸易、科技、信息和文化中心。
作为一座历史文化名城，上海以她独特的风韵吸引了数以百万计的海内外游客。
上海同时也是美食家的乐园，全市数以千计的餐馆汇集了国内外各大名菜，尤其是上海的本帮菜，特别受到海外人士的青睐。
Shanghai is one of the world's largest seaports. Formerly the largest metropolis of the Far East, Shanghai has become China's important center of economy, finance, trade, science and technology, information and culture. As a noted historic and cultural city, Shanghai attracts millions of tourists from home and abroad with its unique charm. Shanghai is also a cherished paradise for gourmets, boasting thousands of restaurants serving a complete list of well-known Chinese and international cuisines, among which the Shanghai food enjoys particular popularity among overseas visitors.
位于市中心地人民广场的上海博物馆是国内外著名的中国古代艺术博物馆，馆内收藏各类珍贵文物达12万余件，包括青铜器、陶瓷器、书法、绘画、佛像雕塑、玉器、钱币、玺印等21个门类。
馆内的展品起自6000年前的史前工艺品，历经各国历史时期，所展示的名作和精品为数甚多。
上海博物馆采用了先进的消防安保、电化教育、文物图书资料电脑管理和楼宇自动化管理等系统。
Situated in the downtown's People's Square, the world-famous Shanghai Museum features varied works of ancient Chinese art. The museum keeps a collection of over 120,000 pieces of precious cultural relics in 21 categories, such as bronzeware, ceramics, calligraphic works, paintings, Buddhist sculptures, jadeware, coins and imperial seals. Included in the carefully selected exhibits are a sizable number of fine works of famous artists and authors from various periods of history dating as far back as 6,000 years ago. The museum is installed with advanced security and fire alarm systems, multimedia educational facilities, a computerized resources library and building maintenance automation system.

The most attractive work of architecture is no other than the Oriental Pearl Tower standing by the bank of the Huangpu River. The 468-meter-tall Oriental Pearl Tower, in which the local residents take so much pride, ranks the tallest in Asia and the third tallest in the world. The tower consists of three huge “sky-support” columns and eleven large spheres of varying sizes. Standing on the observation floor and looking around, you will see across the Huangpu River the famous Bund
lined up with a dazzling exhibition of architectural creations of internationals and the charming skyline of the whole city in the distance-endless soothing vistas that one will find it difficult to turn away from.。
