2.高级英语口译题型 篇二
关键词:高级口译,课堂操练,关键词,语言实践
近年来, 一些高级班的学生觉得他们的口译能力不但没什么提高, 反而有所减退。究其原因, 主要是要读的书太多, 写的东西太多, 没有时间进行说的训练。这也许是事实, 然而学生们的口译能力方面存在的问题, 不能完全归结于此。一方面, 学生“说的”意识还不够, 另一方面, 笔者认为, 根本原因还在于, 高级阶段口译能力的训练还没有真正完成。下面, 结合高级口译课堂的实际操作, 具体论述训练的目的、意义、重点以及各种技巧和效果。
一、高级口译训练的目的、意义及训练重点
( 一) 对学生的要求
高级口译训练是针对俄语达到一定程度的学生进行的, 换句话说, 也只有针对这样的学生开设高级口译的课程才是有意义的。那么, 什么样的学生适合进行这方面的强化训练呢? 首先, 学生的程度必须是具备中级俄语水平以上, 他们的口译能力已基本能适应日常生活的需要, 并且对俄罗斯的文化有一定的了解和理解。其次, 学生的其他相关能力, 比如读和写都要有相应的比较平衡的发展。另外, 高级口译是一种比较高级的表达训练, 表达需要规范和书面化, 因此, 对学生的词汇量有很高的要求。
( 二) 教材的基本模式
1. 现有教材的基本模式
( 1) 话题。教材以话题划分科目, 话题都比较新颖, 体现了与时俱进的特点, 有意识地选取了一些能够反映世界政治格局和各个国家经济、科技等多方面的场景。同时, 话题都是存在着一些正反方面争议的, 可以进行深入的辩论或者发散式的引申, 有一定的讨论价值和社会意义, 不仅是语言, 也是思想层面的加深。
( 2) 句式。句式比较明确, 一课不超过10个, 句式都比较规范、实用, 适合在口语中体现语言严密的逻辑性, 这样的句子结构比较适合操练, 掌握起来也不难。总的来说, 还是比较有效的。
( 3) 实战部分。选择了一些学生在实际生活和工作中可能遇到的典型情况, 提供学生进行口译表达和练习的机会, 将教材和实际生活结合起来, 包括调查和辩论, 使教材更具有实用性和真实感。
2. 理想教材的模式
关于理想教材的模式, 笔者认为有以下几个方面: 首先, 叙述性的课文和对话性的课文兼具。叙述性的课文主要体现的是观点的逻辑性用词, 而对话性口译课文偏重于语气和不同语境的表达式, 这样的结合可以使学生接受到更全面的训练, 难易结合, 比较利于口译课的推进。其次, 增加对话题的多方位思考, 课文不只是局限于某一个话题的某一个方面, 而是多提供一些角度供学生讨论和选择。再次, 加大对成段表达逻辑性的训练, 可以分出一些专题, 给出一些好的表达式和固定场合使用的句子, 训练的目的性再明确一些。
( 三) 训练目的
1. 扩大学生的词汇量
实际上, 能够进行高级俄语口译训练的学生已经掌握了相当一部分的词汇, 在正常的交际中已经没有问题, 而且也基本达到了能够比较恰当地用俄语表达自己意愿的能力, 教师要做的是, 在这一基础上, 继续扩大学生的词汇量, 在相同表达的基础上, 不能局限于说得准确, 还要力求说得更好, 用词更精致, 更有文采。
2. 进行严密的成段表达的训练
对高水平的学生, 成段表达的训练不能只是简单句子的罗列, 教师应当有更高的要求, 要求学生的表达必须是观点鲜明的, 有完整的论述方法和表达层次的, 对使用关联词语也有斟酌。
二、具体的训练方法
( 一) 训练时要注意的几个问题
1. 教学目的要明确
无论是讲解生词还是讨论课文, 或者是课堂的话题扩展, 一切都要以“教学目的”这个大原则为基础, 在课堂上进行的每一个教学环节都要体现出教学的目的和重点, 要让学生清楚每一个训练是为了掌握什么而做, 要掌握到什么程度。
2. 训练手法要生动多样
口译课与其他类型的课有着截然不同的特点, 可以说, 口译课是学生参与度和开口度最高的一门课。在口译上, 尤其需要学生以饱满的情绪参与到话题的讨论中来, 这就需要教师的训练手法多样化, 生动且富于变化, 能够激发学生想说的欲望, 给学生足够自由的表达空间, 这样的口译课才是有效的、成功的。
3. 要注意纠错和鼓励
在高级阶段, 实际上学生的提高并不是非常迅速的, 或者说并不是能够在很短的时间里体现出很明显的效果, 那么在授课的过程中, 一方面, 教师要有很强的语言敏感度, 给学生进行适当的纠错, 同时, 也要对学生句子中的闪光点进行鼓励, 加以肯定, 树立学生说俄语的信心, 给学生坚持下去的勇气, 建议教师在学生大段发言的时候不要打断, 可以考虑简单地进行文字记录, 以便于全面评论和纠错。
( 二) 具体方法分析
1. 合理利用关键词
所谓关键词, 其实就是每一篇课文里出现的生词和重要的句式, 学习一篇课文的首要目的, 就是要学会应用一些相关的生词及句式, 通过生词及句式在课文句子当中的体现迁移到其他的语言环境中, 反复操练后变成自己的词汇, 那么合理地利用关键词进行训练就显得尤为重要。
利用关键词说句子, 中级阶段也需要这个环节, 但是比较简单, 一般都是一个关键词说一个句子, 只要是完整的句子即可, 有的时候教师也可以帮助设置语境。到了高级阶段, 一般可以考虑增加关键词的数量, 要求学生用上关键词说2—3个有逻辑关系的句子, 附带上常用的关联词。这样的训练其实是高级口译课上最基本的也是最简单的训练, 教师可以根据词汇的难易程度和学生掌握的程度自由调整, 建议用在一节课开始的复习回顾环节比较有效, 可以考察学生对重点生词的掌握程度。利用关键词说语段, 语段一般指5个句子以上。只给出一个关键词或句式, 让学生围绕这个关键词进行一段完整的表达, 这种训练的难度比较大, 但是效果却很好, 一方面学生加深了对这个关键词的理解, 另一方面也训练了成段表达的能力, 如果难度比较大, 教师也可以帮助学生设计几个可供选择的语言环境。例如学习了一个句式结构: “倒不是…问题在于…”, 那么教师可以给学生三个语言环境, 其实也就是三个主题词: “经济、环保、择业”, 要求学生任选一个主题词说5个以上的句子, 其中要有自己明确的观点, 同时用上这个句式结构, 这样的练习方式实际上就和中级的学生有了区别, 难度加大了, 显示了更高的起点。
2. 合理利用话题
话题是一篇课文的灵魂, 就话题进行讨论也是高级口译绝对不可缺少的一个环节, 那么总是以教师提问、学生回答的方式进行未免有些单调, 所以可以把这个训练环节处理得灵活些, 这样也可以提升训练的效果, 比较好的方法有三种:
( 1) 辩论法。辩论是一个学生比较感兴趣的方式, 因为大家的观点总是有一些个体差异。这样的差异大部分来自于不同的文化背景, 当然也不排除个人的因素, 但是无论怎样, 观点的碰撞能够激起学生发言的积极性。因此, 如果遇到了合适的话题, 教师可以考虑给学生做一个辩论会, 依据辩论的方法, 学生可以按照观点划分为组, 然后提前给时间准备, 为了使辩论更专业、更有效, 教师也可以给学生铺垫一些辩论的基本语言格式, 帮助学生更好地完成这个环节。
( 2) 分组讨论法。分组是一个不错的办法, 把更多的空间和权利交给学生, 让学生通过组内沟通的方式得出结论, 或者只是了解别人的想法进行分析比较, 分组人数可以灵活安排, 比较理想的是4人一组, 这样既保证了沟通的新鲜感, 又保证了每个学生都有足够的时间发言。
( 3) 提问回答法。这个方法实际上是把原来传统的“教师提问, 一人回答”的方式进行改良, 具体来说, 就是一个同学发言说说自己对这个话题的看法, 其他的同学要对这个同学的发言进行提问, 或者对其中的句子进行纠正或评价。这样做的目的只有一个, 就是要让其他的同学在不发言的情况下也能积极参与到课堂中来, 积极思考, 与发言的同学进行互动, 达到共同研究、共同讨论的目的。
三、重视课堂之外的语言实践
( 一) 语言实践概述
顾名思义, 语言实践就是一种以实践为具体方法的训练语言的方式。比较直接的手段就是让学生学会在出国实习时利用天然的语言大环境, 从课堂中走出去, 真正尝试着和陌生的俄罗斯人进行面对面的交流, 而这种交流是随机的, 毫无准备的, 是一种对现实生活的模拟。通常比较好的方法是采访调查, 然后汇总到课堂上来进行总结和汇报。
( 二) 语言实践的意义
语言实践对于学生的俄语提高有着重大的意义。首先, 从语言学习的角度说, 最好的方式莫过于和母语使用者进行交流, 语言实践无疑提供了一个最好的机会。其次, 跟陌生人交流是需要勇气的, 对于学生来说, 这样的经历可以培养他们对于使用俄语的自信。再次, 进行语言实践时, 通常都会有一个明确的主题需要学生进行调查, 那么在调查的过程当中, 学生会更加了解俄罗斯人的想法, 从中感受俄罗斯的文化, 这对于进一步了解和学习俄语也是有帮助的。最后, 语言实践最终要回到课堂上来, 学生要以转述的方式进行调查结果的汇报。这种转述并不是那种低级的直接的转述, 而是要经过学生语言的再加工, 如果有必要, 学生还需要对被调查者的异同进行比较和分析, 那么这个汇报的过程又是一个训练表达和话题讨论的过程, 也是比较有意义的。

3.高级英语口译题型 篇三
P.S.虽然是按照高级分析,不过中级的也基本差不多。
一、考试介绍
Bec,全称是business English certificate,是剑桥的考试,分听、说、读和写四个部分,每个部分25分,总分100分,拿60%就及格。分5个等级,ABCDE ,其中C以上包括C是及格。每一部分都评分,然后根据标准给ABCDE的等级,其中阅读和听力对50%就是C,75%就是B,85%就是A,口语和写作只要按要求完成都有C。
公认最难是听力,虽然错一半都可以及格,但也很有难度;阅读速度要非常快,但是对一半不会太难,拿高分就有点难度;口语和写作提高得比较快。
9点开始考试,9点到10点考阅读,10点到10点10分发卷收卷,中途可以去洗手间,10点10分到11点20分是作文,11点20分到11点半,break,11点半到12点20分,听力。口语是下午考,人多的话可能要等到第二天。
二、题型介绍和分析。
1、阅读(52小题,1个小时)
阅读总共有6个部分:matching 有8个句子和5段短文章,把句子和文章配对起来,比如说A篇有提到第一个句子的内容,你就要把两个配对起来;完形填句,一篇文章抽了6个句子出来,后面给出7个句子,要从中选出6个句子放回合适的位置;文章阅读,这个和平时的阅读题目一样,就是一篇文章,后面有6个问题,根据理解选abcd;完形填空,和平时做的完形填空形式一样,只不过文章内容都是和商务有关,有10道题;填词,一篇短文中空出了10个词,基本上是介词、冠词等小词,要根据上下文和固定搭配,把词补上;改错题,一篇短文,里面有很多赘余的词,差不多每一行都有一个,其中两到三行是正确的,把赘余的词删掉。
2、写作(两篇文章,共350到400字,70分钟)
第一篇是描述图表,第二篇是写report、letter或者proposal3、听力(30题,40分钟,加10分钟转移答案时间)
听力全部都可以听两遍,分三个部分,第一部分是听取信息,把表格里面空出来的信息补上,补充内容在3个单词以内;第二部分是matching,有5段自言自语,要从他们的自言自语中听出两个层次的信息,然后选相应的选项,比如说第一个任务是行动的原因,第二个任务是行动的结果,你就要从自言自语中听出这个人采取某个行动的原因和这样做的结果;第三部分是听对话,和平时听力差不多,只不过是题目多了对话长了,有8道题。
4、口语(16分钟左右)
第一部分是问一到两个个很general的问题,如你什么名字,如何看待你的专业,未来的计划,喜欢的职
业,最后会问一个与商务有关的问题,如外汇升高对我国经济发展有什么影响;第二部分是给一个task card,上面有三个问题,从中选一个,一分种准备时间,然后讲一分钟,你的partner根据你的speech提一个问题,你回答问题,然后到你的partner将他的topic,然后你提问;第三部分是discussion,两个人看一张task card,上面描述一个situation,然后给出两个task给予讨论,有30分钟看题时间,然后就开始discuss,时间是3分钟,最后考官会再问一个和discussion有关的问题。
三、应试技巧
1、阅读,第一部分到第三部分主要是考对文章整体理解,难度比较大,也比较花时间,所以这三部分可以花半个小时到40分钟的时间。第四部分到第六部分主要考语法、固定搭配和用词,是很基础的东西,而且文章比较短,所以大概6分钟一篇也可以完成。
a)第一部分,文段中的某些内容可能会在8个句子中提到,但是句子的用词会比较简单。首先认真阅读前面8个句子,画出关键词,然后看文段,把相关的词语画出来,每看完一个文段就找对应的句子,把文段中相关信息标上对应句子的序号,方便检查。过程中会出现很混乱的情况,因为有些答案很隐蔽,也会有很多干扰信息,所以必须很认真地阅读。需要多练习找感觉,要很有耐心,一般后两个文段的对应句子多点。
b)第二部分,考查对文章结构的把握和整体理解,抽出来的句子一般都是很有逻辑关系的。认真阅读文章,理清文章思路,特别仔细看空格前后句子,看空格处应该放转折关系还是顺接关系还是其他,预测一下空格中要填的意思,然后从后面7个选项中寻找,如果找不出来就先放着,先做后面的,要画出关键词,特别是表转折,表原因,表结果的词、these,that等代词,和人称代词等,这些都是答案提示。也是需要多联系找感觉,6个空格中应该有一两个是比较容易选的。(这part是我觉得最难的,我经常错一半甚至以上)
c)第三部分,考查对文章的整体理解。一般是6个段落对应6个题目,所以看一段做一题。考的都是对整体段意的把握,不考细节。做这种题经常会出现看了答案以后还觉得自己没有选错的情况,四个选项中只有一个是整体理解,其他都是断章取义。
d)第四部分,主要考查固定搭配和词语辨析。四个选项经常都是意思相近的,但有些是固定搭配,这种就是考基本功了,记得那个短语的就不难选了;难一点的就要区分四个词了,根据上下文选。
e)第五部分,主要考固定搭配和定冠词,连接词的使用。空格处填的基本上都只有唯一答案的,所以一般不会是动词、形容词和副词,除非固定搭配。这题看上去很简单,但是也很容易错,所以要非常仔细。建议拿一本本子作为错题本,把错的题都记录下来,因为每次考的都是这些考点,全部掌握了出错几率就小了。
f)第六部分,主要考语法,经常会出现多主语,多动词等,但是咋看上去又不觉得有什么错误的,所以要非常仔细,认真分析句子的结构。也建议弄一本错题本。做多了对这些错误就敏感多了。
2、写作:商务写作要求是简洁、准确,所以不要罗嗦,不要用模糊用语,一定要用具 体数据或具体事例。比如说,你要说今年A公司的营业额很高,一定要说明高到什么程度。讲一个产品很受欢迎,你可以说根据市场调查,10个人中有8个人都喜欢这个产品。
a)图表描述,如描述一间公司04年到06年营业额、利润和成本的变化曲线。第一段先来一个总起,this
report outlines a company’s revenue, profit and cost during the period of 2004 to 2006(可以参考题目,抄一次或者换种说法说一次),一定要简单,清晰。有多少条曲线就分多少段,同理,bar chart有多少条bars就多少段,总结段可加可不加,看情况而定。描述要包括4个方面:起点,终点,转折点,最高(低)点,一般包括了都可以及格了。注意句型和用词多变。
比如说,在04年成本是3000元,到05年下降到了1005元,但06年又上升了一点,1305元,下面有几个版本
--In 2004, the cost of this company was 3000 yuan, and in 2005 the cost declined to 1005, but it rose a little to 1305 the next year.--starting at the peak of 3000 yuan in 2004, the cost of this company, however, dropped dramatically to 1005 yuan the year after, but unfortunately rose somehow to 1305 in the last year.--with an appalling start of 3000 yuan in the first year, the company successfully made a major 34% cut at the cost the year after and secured it at 1005,however, the cost inevitably expanded to 1305 in the last year.总结三种表达方式,有三种开头形式,-ing形式开头,with + 名词开头,主语开头。其实每一条曲线写的都差不多是这些,但是一篇文章里面要尽量不重复用句型和词语,所以要多看多写多积累,灵活运用。
b)第二篇是写report,letter或proposal,因为我一直写的都是report,所以就讲这个。Report有格式
Report:***(一般在5个词以内,尽量少)
Introduction: This report outlines ***,***,***(把题目的几个task点一下)
第一个task的中心词,比如说是 New Function
第二个task的中心词。。
(第三个task的中心词)
这些文章写的东西全部是假的,所以尽情地编造,不要太过分就好,注意不要写模糊句子,好要写明怎么好,编造一些数据或者指标出来。比如说,今年的作文题目第一个task是a brief description of the store you visit.下面是我写的:
Description:
The PP store I visited recently is located in XIXI Street, 421, with a bus-stop and lots of smaller shops around.In the store, 5 rows of shelves are displayed with 2 large refrigerators in the corner and a counter near the door, which is automatic.以上所有东西都是我想象出来的,必须要有具体的东西。第二个task是写员工的表现和态度如何,我大
概说我在这两天做了调查,两天内只有两个员工迟到了一分钟,而且他们两天加班了4个多小时,证明他们很勤奋很尽责,还访问了105个客户,其中103个对员工的态度都有好评,2个抱怨了他们工作太慢,说明他们的态度是十分好的。
这部分最重要就是要懂得把事情写得具体。
3、听力
听力分几种层次,完全听不懂,听得懂几个词,听得懂大意,听得懂大意和细节问题,全部词都能够听得出来。要对付bec的听力首先先把自己的听力练就成最后那种层次,就是说听一篇文章,边听能够边在脑子里面写单词。可以通过shadowing和听写来练习,shadowing 就是跟读,一听到一个词就说出来,听到什么就说什么,shadowing可以了就练听写,听一句然后写一句。把听力能力练好之后才来做bec的题。
第一题是听细节题,这种题在我们平时考试里面应该算最难的题目,但在bec里面是最简单的了,虽然也很难。第一题的答案是按顺序出现的,听力一开始放音的时候就开始预览题目,看空格前面和后面的信息,画出提示词,有足够时间看的,最后几秒钟回过头来认真看前几个空,不要顾着看后面前面的倒忘了,错过了。听力不会重复题目上的句子,而是换种说法表达,但会重复中心词,所以要对中心词很敏感。答案几乎都会慢读,所以当你不知道他讲到哪里的时候,就把所有慢读的单词都写下来,肯定是答案,听第二次的时候再把他们对号入座。要保证及格的话,这题要保证对10个左右,即错2个,要注意不要拼错单词。
第二题是分别听5个人发牢骚,然后从他们的牢骚中听出两次意思,然后选出相应的选项。不要听前面的废话,第二部分一开始就开始预览题目,首先看要听出哪两层意思,即task**和task**,然后预览选项,画出关键词。即使是听中文也未必简单,要全神贯注地听每一个细节,边听边推理,又要边看选项,难度很大,已经不完全是考你英语能力了,已经上升为理解和推理的高度了。这个就要多练练反映能力和一心多用能力了。
第三题是听两个人的对话,比如两个hr在讨论刚刚招人的情况,谁怎样谁怎样。答案也是按顺序出现的。抓紧时间预览题目,先看题干,画出关键词,看完后回过头来看第一、第二题的选项,画出关键词,应该有足够时间看的。刚开始会有点废话,这时候回顾第一第二题,清楚要听什么信息。前两题听得到七八成,整个人就定很多了。听第一遍的时候,很多题都是不确定的,正常情况,但要清楚层次,知道那里是讲第几题。第二遍就复查。录音里面基本上每个选项都会题到,很多干扰信息,所以必须听清楚每一个字。这题难主要难在它很长,一次过要听这个多东西才能够休息,不象第二题,听不懂就不懂,一下子就过了,还没有开始做考生就已经怕了。所以克服心理障碍也是做好这一题的第一关。
我觉得bec的听力已经不是在考听力,而是在考你反映能力和推理能力,有时候即使全部都听得懂,也做不对题目。
4、口语:
考bec口语,英语口语流利标准是最基础的了,有必要多模仿bec听力的人的语调,学会说话抑扬顿挫,特别是discussion,要真的象在讨论一件很重要的问题那样。其次是反映速度要快,一个问题过来马上要
很有条理地给出答案,要做到这点除了多练习以外,还需要一些思考的套路。
第一题问的大多数是问些关于未来计划,学习,学校,家庭,工作方面的问题,问一个到两个,最后一个问的就有点难度,这个就要看你运气了。
第二题,你和你的partner分别有一张题卡和草稿纸,上面有三个topic,你随便选一个,然后一分钟准备时间,然后开始讲。一拿到题卡,看到哪个题就是哪个了,不要对比哪个好,然后默念题目两次,然后把它翻译成中文,这样可以更好地理解问题,大概要用半分钟,然后再用半分钟想出两个point,在草稿纸上面写上两个词,每个point想出一个explanation,稿纸上做一定笔记。想问题的思路有:
a)五官法。凡关于人的话题,比如说怎样才是一个好领导,就可以用这种方法。眼睛代表vision,一个好领导要有一个好的vision,嘴巴代表communication,要有好的沟通能力,头代表脑袋,要smart,心代表爱心,要有一颗关心下属怜悯下属的心,手代表 support,要互相帮助,脚代表经验,要有经验。。可以继续发展下去。这个方法还可以用到team里面,一个好的团队应该如何如何。
b)身临其境法,比如说如何定价一个产品才是合适的,你可以想象你买东西的时候觉得什么样的产品的价格才是合适的,当然质量要好啦,品牌要好啦,服务要好啦,这样的产品价格才可以高,这样答案就很快出来了。把问题转化成身边的事情。又如怎样选择速销的地点,你可以想平时在哪些地方看到promorion,那些地方有什么特点。。
c)人钱物事法。例如为什么要控制一个公司的扩张速度,就可以从人方面考虑,人手不够,钱方面,资金不够,物方面,设备不够,事方面,事物太多处理不来。很多类似的题目都可以用这个思路。
d)万能思路,corporate image 和push up sales。很多问题都可以从公司形象和增加销售额方面考虑。
回答完,要问问题了,最好的问问题方法就是抓住对方一个观点,然后specifiy,然后再给一些小提示。比如说你的partner刚提到关于time management的问题,那你可以问他你平时是怎么安排时间的?是用time table的方法吗?前面一个就是问题,后面一个就是提示。第二part中,当你的partner讲speech的时候,不需要认真听,随便听出一个观点就开始想问题。
第三部分是discussion,这个是最需要默契的了。30秒要看完题目有点难度,更别说要想points了。所以最好的处理方法就是,一个人看上面的situation description,然后把他总结成一句话,他来开头。另外一个人浏览一下上面的描述然后马上开始看第一个task,和第二个task,分别想一个point。
开始discuss了,刚才详细看了场景描述的先开始讲,如well,our company is going to ***,and we have to ***,so what do you think of it, ***(把第一个问题抑扬顿挫地读出来,突出重点词),然后另外一个人就开始讲他第一个观点(这个时候第一个人开始想第一个task的第二个point,不需要听你的partner说什么,他说完你就说yes或者well ,I agree就行了),说完,第一个人补充第二个观点,完后,第二个人做总结,so our decision is **(让考官知道你们完成了第一个task)。第二个人继续,读第二个task(要突出重点词),第二个人讲第一个point(同样,这时候第一个人想另外一个point),然后第一个人补充,然后第二个人总结,然后结束。
Ps:我比较擅长的是口语和写作这两部分,虽然我的听力都不错,但是还不足以对付bec的听力,心一散就听不了了,阅读最烂给不出什么好建议。
四、考试小tips
和国内考试不同,答题卡上面即使是写单词都是用铅笔写,而且字母全部是大写的,写作文可以用圆珠笔,可以用涂改液。
口语考试记得带笔和纸,因为只有第二部分考官会给张巴掌大的草稿纸,而且是没有笔提供的,千万不可以在题卡上面乱画,因为题卡是要循环利用的,这样可能会影响考官心情。口语过程中记得礼貌用语,good afternoon啊,thank you啊等等,记得认真听考官每个问题,即使是问你partner,但有可能你partner讲完后会问你what about you,如果你忘记了题目,这样在互动那里可能会扣点分,因为你没有认真听你partner的发言。
听力第三个考,前面已经做了两个多小时了,心都散了大半,做听力的时候可能静不下心来,很影响效果。听力最好的练习是真题,其次是剑桥出的模拟题,其他的练习都和考试难度相差很远,不具参考价值。真题只有8套,所以不能够题海战术,要有效利用。

We already live in an over-communicated world that will only become more so in the next tech era. We’ve developed technology that gets us so much information that we’ve got cell phones ringing every second. We’ve got computers and laptops. We’ve got personal organizers. And we’re just being bombarded with communication and every advancing technology seems to create more and more communications at us. We are thought of over-whelmed by the information flow.
Research suggests that all the multi-tasking may actually make our brains work better and faster, producing a world-wide increase in IQ up to 20 points and more in recent decades. Is there any real benefit in all these mental gymnastics we now have to go through? We are not becoming a race of global idiots, but many do think certain skills are enhanced and certain are not. You know the ability to make fast decisions, to answer a dozen emails in 5 minutes or to fill out maybe big aptitude text. That’s enhanced.
But when someone is out there with his kids laying in his little league, or something like that, he’s got his cell phone in his pocket, he is always wondering: “Jeez, did I get a voicemail?” This might have negative effects on our own brains patterns. Creativity is something that happens slowly. It happens when your brain is just noodling around, just playing. When it puts together ideas which you haven’t thought of, or maybe you have time to read a book. You are a business person but you have time to read a book about history or about a philosopher and something that happened long ago, or something or some ideas, some default of long ago.
Actually, it might occur to you that you can think of your own business in that way. And so if this mixture of unrelated ideas that feeds your productivity, feeds your creativity, and if your mind is disciplined to answer every email, then you don’t have time for that playful noodling, you don’t have time for those unexpected conjunctions. So I think maybe we are getting smarter in some senses, but over communication is a threat to our creativity and to our reflection.

Today my topic is cultures and traditional holidays.
Holiday are special times of respite from work and other routines. In some cases, they are legal holidays when stores, businesses and government offices are officially closed. In other cases, they are celebrated without taking time off from work. Holidays are often times for celebration, revelry, eating, drinking, travel, and family gatherings, but they may also be times of rest and reflection. The current trend is away from rest and reflection, Even Mardi Gras, the day before the traditionally reflective period of Lent, has turned into an entire week of parties, parades and merry-making for those who make the annual pilgrimage to New Orleans, for example.
In most cultures the scheduling of holidays originally was related to the seasons, the lunar cycle, and religion, Christmas (December 25) celebrates the birth of Jesus, but it is not actually known whether Jesus was born in the wintertime. The first Roman emperor to espouse Christianity decided to have Christmas when the days are shortest to bring a spirit of optimism to the long winter months. It also helped bring Christianity to the pagans, who were accustomed to having festivals at the winter solstice, encouraging warmth and sunshine to return. Over the years Christmas has come to symbolize goodwill and generosity for both Christians and non-Christians through the personification of Santa Claus, originally a Christian saint, known as St,Nicholas. Nowadays Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer is almost as important a global symbol of Christmas as Jesus or Santa and the commercialization of Christmas threatens to replace generosity with greed. Many people forget that the original Christmas gifts were given by the Three Wise Men, all pagans, to Jesus, a Jewish child born in a manger. All they think of are the gifts they will give or receive, and all the money they have spent.
One reason for the increasing popularity of Christmas is its proximity to New Year’s Day, encouraging a long holiday to evolve out of both. In the U,S., the holiday has turned into an extended holiday season, lasting from Thanksgiving Day in late November until New Year’s Day, with a seemingly endless array of parties, dinners, concerts, parades, and vacation trips. The schools and colleges are closed from mid-December through early January while many people eat too much, drink too much, and watch too much American football on TV. Many gifts, cards, and annual newsletters are exchanged, and the various festivities are not always very restful. Then the same people make New Year’s Resolutions to eat less, drink less, spend less, and work harder in the coming year.
Christmas is by far the most important holiday in English-speaking countries. Other important holidays in addition to Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day are Valentine’s Day, St.Patrick’s Day, April Fools’ Day, and Easter. On Valentine’s Day, celebrated on February 14, people give cards, chocolates, flowers, and kisses to their spouses and sweethearts. On St.Patrick’s Day, March 17, people wear green to celebrate the luck of the Irish, and eat corned beef and cabbage washed down with green beer. During Easter Week in late March or early April, Christians remember the death and resurrection of Jesus while Jews celebrate Passover, in memory of the escape of the Jews from ancient Egypt, where they had been slaves. Although it is not actually a holiday and has no religious connotation, April Fools’ Day, celebrated on April 1, is a day when people play embarrassing tricks on their friends and colleagues and even on their teachers. Another holiday with some similarity to April Fools’ Day is Halloween on October 31,when children wear funny or scary costumes and ask their neighbors for, “tricks or treats”, The name Halloween means, hallowed evening”, the night before All Saints’ Day when Christian saints are honored. On the following day, All Souls’ Day, services and prayers are said for the dead. In many countries, it is a day when families visit cemeteries and place flowers on the tombs of their relatives. In Europe, Labor Day is celebrated on May 1, whereas in Canada and the United States, labor and laborers are honored by a legal holiday on the first Monday in September.

1. 原文:Owing to the over population in urban areas and the lack of employment opportunity, the crime rate is also a huge problem we are faced with. The problem of delinquency is increasingly more serious in this area. Also the lack of the traditional family structure and weakened bounds of kinship, lower the moral of these children growing up in the urban areas. These children grow up in poverty and usually look at crimes as a quick and easy way out. The problems in urban areas are far more than can be handled in any short-term efforts. We can only hope to contain them, and attempt to make sure that no more problems arise from the already existing ones.

Passage 2:
Online truth is more valuable than privacy
Not so long ago I found myself in characteristically pugnacious discussion with a senior human rights figure. The issue was privacy. Her view was that there was an innate and largely unchanging human need for privacy. My view was that privacy was a culturally determined concept. Think of those open multiseated Roman latrines in Pompeii, and imagine having one installed at work.
The specific point was whether there was a generational difference in attitudes towards privacy, partly as a consequence of internet social networking. I thought that there was. As a teenager I told my parents absolutely nothing and the world little more. Some girls of that era might be photographed bare-breasted at a rock festival, and some guys might be pictured smoking dope but, on the whole, once we left through the front door, we disappeared from sight.
My children — Generation Y, rather than the Generation X-ers who make most of the current fuss about privacy — seem unworried by their mother’s capacity to track them and their social lives through Facebook. In fact, they seem unworried by anybody’s capacity to see what they’re up to — until, of course, it goes wrong. They seem to want to be in sight, and much effort goes into creating the public identity that they want others to see.
There was an estimate last month that Facebook has something like 130 million unique visits every day. It now acts as a vast market place for ideas, preferences, suggestions and actings-out, extending far beyond the capacity of conventional institutions to influence. And the privacy issues it raises have little to do with the conventional obsessions such as CCTV or government data-mining.
At a conference at the weekend I heard that some US colleges have taken to looking at the Facebook sites of applicants before they think to alter them before an interview. This may turn out to be apocryphal, but such a thing certainly could be done. In this era of supplementing exam grades with personal statements and character assessments, what could be more useful than an unguarded record of a student’s true enthusiasms? What else did Tristram do on his horizon-expanding journey to the developing world?
This would have driven me crazy. My daughter’s college friends, she says, are “pretty chilled” about it. There are the odd occasions when a vinous clinch is snapped on a mobile phone and makes the social rounds to the embarrassment of the clinchers, but whatever will be will be.
An EU survey two years ago suggested that this is the pattern more generally. The researchers discovered what seemed to be a paradox: although half of their young respondents were confident in their own ability to protect their online privacy, only a fifth thought it a practical idea to give users in general “more control over their own identity data”. In other words (and this is my interpretation) they didn’t think that their peers could be bothered with extra protection and they felt fairly happy with their own.
Meanwhile, their elders try to get them concerned about issues such as internet data harvesting by private companies. A US news report last week concerned the work done to create “privacy nudges” — software that reminds users at certain moments that the information they are about to divulge has implications for privacy. One privacy campaigner even suggested that people might be rewarded with lottery tickets for not giving out such knowledge.
I have to say, as someone who often elects to receive online mailshots from companies operating in areas in which I’m interested, that this seems to me to miss the main problem. As long as you have the right to say “no” to a company’s blandishments, I don’t see a huge problem. That’s why the now notorious Italian bullying video seems much more relevant. At the end of last week three Google employees were sentenced in absentia for breaching the privacy of a handicapped boy, whose horrid treatment at the hands of his Turin schoolmates had been posted on Google Video. This clip spent several months in circulation before being taken down.
Almost everyone — including our former Information Commissioner — agrees that the sentence was wrong, perverse and a kick in the teeth for free speech, with implications that could (but won’t) undermine the internet. And they are quite right. But look at it, for a moment, from the point of view of the boy’s parent, or the boy himself. They must have felt powerless and damaged. So how much control or ownership can one have over one’s own image and reputation?
The second great question, then, raised with regard to the net is what might be called “reputation management”, or — if you like — public identity management. What is it that you want people to know about you, and can you have control over it?
Last weekend I was alerted to two new phenomena, both of which caused me to miss a heartbeat. The first was the possibility of using a program, or employing someone, to “suicide” you online. Recently a company in Rotterdam used its Facebook presence to advertise its “web 2.0 suicide machine”, which would act as “a digital Dr Kevorkian [and] delete your online presence” from Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and LinkedIn, not just on your own sites but on everyone else’s — leaving just a few “last words”.
Unfortunately Facebook chucked the suicide machine off its premises, so it then suicided itself, ending with the words “no flowers, no speeches”.
As a journalist I was horrified by the implications of online suiciding. In the first place it means the erasure of documentary history. And second it raises the possibility of routine doctoring of material on the internet to render it more palatable to the offended.
The second phenomenon was worse. It was that some people, many perhaps, might seek to undermine any informational authority on the web by flooding it with false information, thus obliquely protecting their own identities. As an occasional target of such misinformation, sometimes playfully (as when an unknown person amended my Wikipedia entry to make me Serbian by birth), and sometimes maliciously, I know it can play merry hell with everyone’s sense of reality.
In other words it seemed to me that there was a threat much worse than that to privacy, and that was of privacy- induced attempts to bend or erase the truth that is essential to the value of the internet. Lack of privacy may be uncomfortable. Lack of truth is fatal.

5.高级口译听力部分原文 篇五
Let’s talk about the social condition that many people might be concerned about today. There are a few that I wanted to touch on, but the first one is the one I mentioned in the introduction-crime in New York city. Crime was a problem for a very long time in New York city and it was rising, and rising and rising. And then it started dropping. And I suppose there could be a number of different reasons for it, but I can’t really find that anybody really knows exactly for sure what caused it.
Crime is such a fundamentally contagious thing that once we reach the kind of tipping point, and once certain influential people in communities hard-hit by crime, stop behaving in that way. It was contagious. And there was a kind of sea change that happens all at once. Maybe we can go into those little triggers, because I find it’s really interesting. Because we are talking about such a big change that takes place. Being triggered by very small things, and what do you think some of those were?
Well, I’m very impressed by this idea called the “broken window theory”, which is an idea George Kelling has put forth in New England. He’s argued for some time, that criminals and criminal behavior is acutely sensitive to environmental cues, and he uses the example, the broken window. If there’s a car sitting on the street with the broken window, it is an invitation to someone to vandalize the car. Why? Because a broken window on a car symbolizes the fact that no one cares about the car, no one is in charge, no one is watching. And if you think about it, this is a fundamentally different idea about crime than the kind of ideas that we’ve been carrying for the past 25 years. We have been told by conservatives over and over again that crime is the result of moral failure, of something deep and intrinsic within the hearts and souls and brains of criminals. That a criminal is by definition, in the sword of conservative topology, someone who is insensitive to their environment, right? They just go out and commit crimes, because that’s who they are. They are criminals. Well, Kelling came along and said,”well, no, no, a criminal is like all of us, someone acutely sensitive to what’s going on in the environment. And by making subtle changes in the environment, you can encourage and induce much more socially responsible behavior.”
