第一篇:5月8日三級口譯真題回憶和考試介紹
折騰了一天總算考完了,考之前曾看到有人去年真題的回憶帖子,當時也是受益良多,現在也把記得的今天的題目跟各位分享分享。
我在鄭州大學新校區考的,綜合和實務都有草紙發,這與那位同學的考點不太一樣,而且我實務要了兩張紙。
好了言歸正傳:
綜合能力:
判斷是一整篇的記敘文,這與之前的模擬題類型很不一樣,不過也更容易聽懂大意,不過細節更需要留心,很多地方都是替換一兩個詞而已。
對話:略 有幾個是選項之間比較繞的文字游戲,需要看清選項。
篇章的內容分別是:1.紐約中學情況介紹,包括各人種比例,畢業率,飲食費收取情況等等。2.有關做夢 科技類文章 3.芭比娃娃的由來
填空: 中國經濟方便,只有這項算沾點實事的邊,很多選項是一空填多詞,這與我之前以為大多是一空一詞比較不同,幸好我之前突擊了下經濟類詞匯。
摘要:關于減肥運動 這個我做的比較挫,開始擔心時間不過,基本上是把聽懂的亂寫一氣,最后發現還有時間。歸根結底還是我平時的練習過于眼高手低,只聽沒寫的時候多。
下午的實物:
對話:北京地區提升水價
英譯漢: 比爾蓋茨的演講部分,關于微軟的崛起和他個人參與的慈善基金
漢譯英:農民工子女在大城市的教育問題
英譯漢比我想的要簡單,其他兩個做的比較不好一些,尤其是農民工我竟然忘了怎么說……在這里再次普及下 :peasant worker 或者是migrant worker
每句的答題間隔不一,個別的短句給的時間也會短一些,這一點要注意。
二級、三級口譯筆譯考試介紹:
二級口譯、筆譯一般是從事英語專業工作的人員考的。二級和三級都分別實行統一大綱、統一命題、統一標準的考試辦法。
另外,翻譯專業資格(水平)證書實行定期登記制度,每3年登記一次,再次登記時還要提供接受繼續教育或業務培訓(主要內容是職業道德教育、翻譯業務培訓,由譯協負責實施)的證明,因此并非四六級考試一樣考一次一生通用。
筆譯考試設《筆譯綜合能力》和《筆譯實務》兩個科目,時間分別是2個小時和3個小時。
目前國家政策要求翻譯專業的研究生畢業要達到二級水平。中國譯協05年起允許獲得三級以上證書的人直接申請成為譯協的個人會員。
不同的人群要選擇好考試語種、級別,如最簡單的三級(初級)考試就適合一些非外語專業本科畢業、通過大學英語六級考試或外語大專畢業生水平,并具備一定的口筆譯實踐經驗;而二級(中級)卻適合非外語專業研究生畢業或外語專業本科畢業生水平,并具備3至5年的翻譯實踐經驗;要考取一級(高級)證書應該是最為困難的,它要具備8至10年的翻譯實踐經驗,是某語種雙語互譯方面的專家。鑒于此,非英語專業的大學本科畢業生,最好從三級(初級)考起。通過初級口譯或初級筆譯者,可承擔一般性會談的口譯工作或一般性材料的翻譯工作。
考試題型:
綜合能力考試:
判斷,填空,篇章理解,聽力綜述(聽完一篇文章再寫英語綜述)
口譯實務考試:
英漢互譯(對話),英漢交替傳譯,漢英交替傳譯

11月14日上午的中口口語話題:
如何解決大城市的交通擁堵問題。
英譯漢第一篇:美國的旅游和交通
口譯教程上有一篇很相似的內容,在課堂上也講解過。
英譯漢第二篇:領導者和人民的關系
這是以往不太出現的內容,值得之后的考生特別關注。
漢譯英第一篇:上海菜
口譯教程上有相似話題的內容,課堂講義里也有類似關于飲食的練習。
漢譯英第二篇:08年抗震救災和北京奧運
抗震救災話題與事實相結合,口譯考試從來不拒絕熱點。北京奧運在課堂講義里有相關專題,真題也進行過練習。希望大家有好的發揮。
11月14日下午的中口口語話題:
The high-speed rail in china。又是當前的熱點話題。還沒考的童鞋們關注了啊。
英譯漢第一篇:car rental services in USA
此篇出自中級口譯教程 4-1行在美國。在課堂上練習過,也作為回家作業做過。說的是去美國旅行的一些建議:不要買車而是租車。因為美國是世界上租車業最發達的國家。有美國的兩大汽車巨頭在各機場設有辦公樓,其他地方城市其他的美國租車公司有設辦事處。
英譯漢第二篇:economic recovery
主要說最近經濟復蘇,亞洲遙遙領先遠超過歐洲的恢復速度,特別是中國和印度更是復蘇的領頭羊。美國的經濟有望借復蘇的勢頭來年恢復經濟,但還存在一些潛在的風險。
漢譯英第一篇:京河高科技園區簡介
此篇出自中級口譯教程 2-4 參觀訪問。其中涉及到“走馬觀花”這樣的四字格,“背靠渤?!边@樣地理方位的描述。雖然在課堂上作為回家作業讓同學做過,但沒有充分準備的話,依然會覺得難度較大。漢譯英第二篇:上海世博會
上下午的考題一對比,大家讀出些什么訊息了么?上午和下午都統一考到了美國交通和旅行的狀況。記得五月份的某一次二階段考試,上下午都考到了中國傳統文化的內容。也許是巧合,但每一次巧合背后會有一定的道理。正在備戰的聰明的你們,知道怎么做了?
11月21日中級口譯口試
英譯漢第一篇:商務洽談此篇出自中級口譯教程 3-3 合資企業。
英譯漢第二篇:志愿者活動看來命題者深受“小白菜”們的影響。
漢譯英第一篇:來滬工作
此篇出自中級口譯教程 3-1 歡迎光臨。涉及reception and ceremonial speech的內容。漢譯英第二篇:中日關系緊跟時事的節拍,值得后面的考生注意。
11月28日上午的口語題:
Competition: a good thing or a bad thing?
英譯漢第一篇: the differences in work ethics between the Chinese and Americans.改編自《中級口譯教程》3-4 文化差異
英譯漢第二篇:knowledge-based economy
難度較大。講的是知識經濟時代,要求年輕人有長遠的眼光,開放的頭腦,善于發揮自己的潛力。知識經濟的特點之一是創新。創新不僅意味著創造知識,而且要運用這些知識。
漢譯英第一篇:吸引外資
改編自《中級口譯教程》2-4 參觀訪問。在課堂講義的第一單元后面作為回家作業要求大家完成的。漢譯英第二篇:世博與旅游
主要內容說世博和旅游歷來是相互結合,相互促進的。成功舉辦世博會是黨和人民賦予旅游業的歷史使命和光榮任務。世博近期還是熱點話題。上幾周的考試也考過。
11月28日下午口試:
先給了一段文章,大意是 One Foundation Report from Beijing Normal University on philanthropy and charitable course in China.話題是 Should there be a minimum for billionaires’ donations?英譯漢第一篇:entrepreneurial culture
整段難度非常大。很多同學一上來都懵了。其實此段改編自《中級口譯教程》13-1 企業文化。英譯漢第二篇:global food crisis
現在全球糧食危機嚴重,超乎我們的想象。商品價格飆漲,糧食價格高。貧困人群尤其是兒童營養狀況堪憂。整段難度不大,但同學收到上一段的打擊,加之這段三個數字的口譯,總體不太理想。
漢譯英第一篇:如何教育青少年
典型的青少年教育話題,難度一般。一方面父母期望過高,另一方面網絡科技的發展容易引發青少年犯罪問題。青少年的健康成長需要家庭、學校和全社會的共同努力。
漢譯英第二篇:中美合作關系
典型的雙邊關系話題,套句很多。經過訓練的同學一定能順利通過。主要講中美兩國是具有影響力的國家。兩國有廣泛的共同利益和合作基礎。兩國的建設性合作關系符合兩國人民的根本利益,有利于世界的和平、穩定和發展。
總體感受:
口語部分雖不是最關鍵的,但良好的intonation以及流利度會給考官極好的印象。后面的口譯打分自然就會有偏向,也許不及格的句子會偏向及格。
得教程者得天下。尤其是英譯漢第一段基本都來自教程。而順利拿到英譯漢第一段是對士氣的很大鼓舞。把講過的內容記熟且流暢地表達出來就已經很好了。進考場前問問自己是不是已經把筆記的重要詞組都口頭過了一遍。
時事需關注,出題有時候有滯后效應。比如世博還是考了。上幾周還考到08奧運和抗震救災。關注時事,同時善于思考,多開口討論。

queueing up anonymously at a supermarket.And the proprietor knows well that persona1 service has a substantial cash value.His Prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, bu he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old age pensioner who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing.The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour.They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them..The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course.But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce.Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedly individualist in their ways.For example, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thick-set, irritable man whom children treat with marked respect, knowing that an ill-judged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time.He stares with contempt at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash? But we all know he will in fact do excellent work upon them.And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxury.1.The services available in villages nowadays are normally_________.(A)fewer but still very active(B)less successful than earlier but managing to survive(C)active in providing food for the village and tourists(D)surprisingly energetic considering the little demand for them 2.The local grocer’s shop is expanding even though________.(A)town shops are more attractive(B)town shops are larger and less well-known(C)people like to shop where they are less well-known(D)people get extra service in townshops 3.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about delivering goods?(A)They tend to forget it.(B)They will not consider it.(C)They take it for granted.(D)It does not seem worth their while 4.Another aspect of personal service available in the village shop is that_________.(A)there is a wide range of goos available(B)goods not in stock can be obtained whenever they are needed(C)special attention is given to the needs of wealthier customers
(D)goods are always restocked before they run out 5.In what way is the village shoemaker a “formidable figure”?
(A)He seems to pay little attention to public opinion.(B)He refuses to mend cheap,mass-produced shoes.(C)He has a very rough temper.(D)He has very high standards of workmanship.Questions 6--10 Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to have their attention diverted by a sign that read—A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS.This self-defeating warning has now been removed, but its message is still very much to the point.Almost anyting can cause an accident.Apart from momentary inattention, it might be a minor miscalculation, a sudden fit of coughing, a bop on the head with a teddy-bear from a child in the back seat, an argument with the wife, fog, falling asleep at the wheel, bad eyesight, a glaring sun, ice, rain, wind, or snow—a1l these can make the difference between a tragic hit and a lucky miss.Although human error plays its part, it is by no means the only cause of accidends.There must be some cause other than simple human error.Road construction plays its part: researchers have found that it is not at the obvious danger spot—sharp corners, cross-roads, narrow lanes—that accidents happen.It is on those roads where there are subtle visual traps, unexpected changes in the shape or surface of the.road, or even insufficient or badly-placed signs.Wherever there is a 'black spot', it means that something is seriously wrong with the road.Why else did the careless driving of so many come out at that particular spot? What the law requires when you have an accident There are, firstly the legal formalities of exchanging names and addresses with others involved in an accident and, in certain cases, informing the police.However, you are required by law to stop after an accident only if: l Somebody other than yourself in or outside your car has been injured.2 A vehicle not your own has been damaged.3 Any horse, cow,donkey,sheep, or dog has been injured.It has been said that if a driver continues unaware of causing injury he must be acquitted.But the courts are wary of that excuse.Furthermore, the driver himself must wait at the scene;it is not enough for him to leave his chauffeur or a friend to attend to the boring formalities while he goes off on more important business.If you have been involved in an accident and have stopped, you must give your name, address, and registration number to anyone who has a good reason for requesting it;this means anyone affected by the accident.If these formalities are complied with it is not necessary to wait for the arrival of the police.It is,however, often wise to do so.The police are expert at drawing plans, taking measurements and photographs and gathering other evidence.In your absence the police could be given a biased story against you;and you yourself migh wam to point out certain features of the accident to the police.6.A MOMENT'S INATTENTION CAUSES ACCIDENTS'(para.l)is a self defeating Warning because______.(A)it will make a driver wait at the scene(B)it will distract the driver's attention(C)it is too difficult to understand(D)it is too long to be read by drivers 7.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?(A)After an accident you have to give your name to anyone who asks for it.(B)Drivers on the Basingstoke by-pass used to ignore the sign.(C)Road construction problems can be a major cause of accidents.(D)A 'black spot' is a part of the road where there are no signs.8.'Subtle visual traps'(para.3)are ______.(A)places where the police hide in order to trap motorists(B)parts of the road which are deceptive to the driver's eye
(C)danger spots such as sharp corners and cross-roads(D)places where there are man road-signs 9.As required by the law, you must stop after an accident, if ______.(A)you have been injured by somebody.(B)your car has been damaged.(C)you have injured somebody else(D)you have witnessed the accident l 0.After an accident it is recommended that you wait for the police because _________.(A)it is against the law to drive off(B)they have to examine your licence and insurance certificate(C)they have to noto the position of your car(D)somebody may give them a false account of the accident Questions 11--15 Just as word oil scarcity is already causing intemational conflicts, so will the scarcity of water reach a point where wars will break out.The statistics on water are already scary.Already well over l billion people suffer from water shortages and 30 countries get more than a third of their water from outside their
borders—an obvious source of disputes and instability especially as the climate changes.The whole of the sub-Saharan Africa, most of South Asia and western South America are most at risk.The reason: the rapid melting of glaciers due to global warning.At the meeting of the coalition of 27 Intemaional charities last month, Gareth Thomas, minister of Intenatonal Development of the British government, wrote to prime minister Gordon Brown demanding action to ensure fresh water to 1.1 billion people with poor supplies.”If we do not act now, the reality is that water supplies may become the subject of international conflict in the years ahead.We need to invest now to prevent us having to pay that price in the future“, Thomas said.The department warned that two-thirds of theword's population will live in water-stressed countries by 2025.The coalition of charities has appealed for a global effort to bring running water to the developing world and supply sanitation to a further 2.6 billion people.It said that international investment is needed now to prevent competition for water to destabilize communities and escalate into conflicts.Tackling the water and sanitation crisis is essential if the Millennium Development Goal Call to Action is to be a success.Otherwise, progress on health, education, and environment sustainability will be undermined.Each year 443 million school days are lost globally to diarrhea and 1.8 million children die from these diseases.In fact, it is often not realized tha investing in sanitation and water brillgs the greatest public health gains, more than any other single development intervention and delivers enormous economic
gains.Already, some Asian countries have put tackling these issues at the forefront of theirdevelopment efforts.The Millennium Development Goals aim to halve the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water by 20l5.To achieve that urgent action needs to be taken.There is no doubt that climate change is potentially the most important factor affecting water shor tage.This, compounded with a growing and increasingly urbanized global population will put pressure on food and water.For a temperature rise of 2°C, which is likely to happen by 2050, there would be a catastrophic 2 to 3 billion people suffering from water stress.11.What does the author think is primarily responsible for water shortages in the world ?(A)Climate chance.(B)Border dispute.(C)World competition.(D)Political instability 12.According to Gareth Thomas, _______ is the price we have to pay for water shortage if we do not take immediate action.(A)sanitation crisis(B)intemational conflict(C)global warming(D)over-urbanization 13.What can the coalition of charities do to prevent competition for water ?(A)Appealing for international investment.(B)Bringing running water to the developing world.(C)Supplying sanitation to billions of water-stressed people.(D)Enhancing world environment sustainability 13.The Millennium Development Goals aim to_______ in the near future.(A)tackle the water and sanitation crisis(B)yield economic gains as well as public health gains(C)mak progress on health, education and environment sustainability(D)provide more people with clean drinking water 15.According to the passage, what will add to water shortage ?(A)Oil scarcity.(B)A drop in temperature(C)A growing population.(D)Reduced food supply Questions 16.-20 Parenting was never a piece of cake in any age, but probably the greatest source of headache for parents today in Japan is the ubiquitous cellphone.Today, 96 percent of senior high school students and 58 percent of junior high school students have cellphones.Even among primary school children, 3l percent have them.By enabling youngsters to stay connected with their parents at all times, these gadgets help to keep children safe.For the kids, they are fun toys, too, that let them text to or chat with their pals whenever they wat, play Intemet games, and enjoy blogging for their own profile and diary purposes.But terrible dangers lurk beneath all that fun and convenience.Every year about l,000 children become involved in rape and other crimes through dating service sites.Violent and obscene images are only a couple of clicks away.On gakkoura saito, or so-called unofficial school websites where kids can post whatever they want, anyone can fall victim to brutal ''verbal mob lynching” by their peers.Amid today's urgent need to address these problems, the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding has issued a report.In response to the Prime Minister's recent comments---“I carmot think of one good reason for(letting youngsters)have a cellphone“ and ”I would like everyone to discuss whether cellphones are really necessary:“----the report recommended that ”parents, guardians, schools and all parties concerned should cooperate among themselves, so that elementary school pupils and junior high school students do not have a cellphone unless there is a compelling reason for them to do so.“ But since many parents believe in the necessity of cellphones as a safety tool, it is unrealistic to expect everyone to do away with them.Rather, it would make more sense for guardians, schools and cellphone companies to consider, from their respective standpoints,how cellphones should be used by children.We suggest that parents sit down with their offspring and talk about their “houserules”for cellphone use.For instance, sct the hours allowed, so the kids won't be texting to their friends late into the night, remind them never to give away personal information online, and so on..But there are limits to what individual families can do, and this is where we also suggest that schools should educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use.One way to go about this, for instance, may be for each class to set its own rules on sending e-mail messages.16.The word ”ubiquitous“(para.l)is closest in meaning to ________.(A)updated(B)sophisticated(C)prevalent(D)obsolete 17.Many parents let their kids have cellphones because they ________.(A)want their kids to keep up with the IT World(B)can't think of anything better for their kids to have fun(C)don't want their kids to miss 'what other kids have(D)believe cellphones endble them to stay connected 18.Which of the following is NOT the potential risk kids may face when using cellphones?(A)Involvement in rape-related crime
(B)Exposure to violent and obscene images(C)Falling victim to brutal curses.(D)Being tracked down by unofficial school websites.19.The report issued by the government’s Meeting on Education Rebuilding______.(A)recommended minimizing the use of cellphones among kids(B)suggested setting “house rules” for cellphone use
(C)urged parents to remind their children about ce1lphone use(D)pressed schools to educate their pupils on the dangers of cellphone use 20.What is the main idea of the passage?(A)Parents neglect to protect their kids from cellphones.(B)Parenting with cellphones is a source of headache.(C)Cellphones should be banned from campus.(D)Kids need lessons on the uses of cellphones Question 21--25 Extract I
A stylish dining room with cream walls and curtains and black carpet as perfect foil to an eclectic array of furniture.Many of the pieces are classics of their particular era, and demonstrate how old and new designs can be happily mixed together Thc prototype chair in the foreground has yet to prove its staying power and was thought up by the flat's occupant.He is pictured in his living room which has the same decorative theme and is linked to the dining room by a high Medieval-styled archway where was once a redundant and uninspiring fireplace.Extract 2 Old bathrooms often contain a great deal of ugly pipework in need of disguising.This can either be done by boxing in the exposed pipes, or by fitting wood paneling over them.As wood paneling can be secured over almost anyting---including oid ceramic tiles and chipped walls---is an effective way of disguising pipework as well as being an attractive form of decoration.The paneling can be vertical, horizontal or diagonal.An alternative way to approach the problem of exposed pipes is to actually make them a feature of the room by picking the pipework out in bright strong colours.Extract 3 Cooking takes second place in this charming room which, with its deep armchairs, is more of a sitting room than a kitohen, and th6 ntw RaybUm stove as a good choice, as it blends in well with the old brick and beamed fireplace.There are no fitted units or built-in appliances, so all food preparation is done at the big farmbouse table in the foreground;and the china, pots and pans have been deliberately left on show to make an attractive display.What about the kitchen sink? It's hidden away behind an archway which leads into a small scullery.Here there's a second cooker and---in the best farmhouse tradition---a huge walk-in larder for all food storage.2l.Why is the colour of the carpet described in Extract l a particular advantage?(A)It livens up the colour in an otherwise dull room.(B)It provides a contrast to the furniture.(C)It blends in with the tones of the furniture.(D)It gives the room a classical style.22.What is the purpose of the archway described in Extract 1 ?(A)To hide an unattractive fireplace.(B)To give the room an exotic eastem style.(C)To join the dining room with the sitting room(D)To make room for the unusual seating arrangements.23.Extract 2 is probably taken from ________.(A)an architect's blueprint
(B)a plumber’s manual
(C)a home renovation magazine(D)an advertisement for new bathrooms 24.Extracts 2 and 3 deal with _________.(A)old and classic furniture(B)attractive colour schemes(C)cheap improvement schemes(D)home decoration 25.Compared with Extract l the room described in Extract 3 appears to _______.(A)be more comfortable(B)be more colourful(C)contain more furniture(D)posspss a greater variety of style Questions26--30,.Large parts of the world have not enjoyed the remarkale global progress in health conditions that have taken place over the past century.Indeed, millions of deaths in impoverished nations are avoidable with prevention and treatment
options that the rich world already uses.This year, l0 million children will die in low-and middle-income countries.If child death rates were the same as those in developed countries this figuer would be lower than 1 million.Conversely, if child death rates were those of rich countries just 100 years ago, the figure would be 30 million.Today's tools for improving health are so powerful and inexpensive that health conditions could be reasonably good even in poor countries if policy makers spent even relatively little in the right places.Recent research for the Copeghagen Consensus idenifies several highly cost-effective options that would tackle some of the planet's most urgent health problems.The most promising investment is in tuberculosis treatment.Some 90 percent of the l.6 million tuberculosis deaths in 2003 occurred in low-and middle-income countries.Because tuberculosis affects working-age people, it can be a trigger of household poverty.The comerstone of control is prompt treatment using first-line drugs, which doesn't require a sophisticated health system.Spending $l billion on tuberculosis treatment in a year would save l million lives.Because good health accompanies higher levels of national economic welfare in the long run, the economic benefits are worth $30 billion.The second most cost-effective investment is tackling hewt disease.Heart disease migh not seem like a pressing issue for poor nations, but it represents more than a quarter of their death toll.Measures to reduce risk factors other than smoking--high intake or saturated animal fat, obesity, binge drinking of alcohol, physical inactivity , and low fruit and vegetable consumption--have had little success.Treating acute heart attacks with inexpensive drugs is,however, cost-effective.Spending $200 million could avert several hundred thousand deaths, yielding benefits that are 25 times higher than costs.The third option is prevention and treatment of malaria.A billion dollars would expand the provision of insecticide-treated bed-nets and facilitate provision of highly effective treatment.This would save more than a million child deaths and produce economic benefits worth $20 billion.The fourth altermative for policymakers is to focus on child health initiatives.The best measures are familiar ones expanding immunization coverage, promoting breasfeeding, increasing the use of simple and cheap treatments for diarrhea and childhood pneumonia, and so on.Even if the costs of all these initiatives were two or three times higher than we estimate, these efforts would still provide amazing opportunities to reduce health inequality and do good in the world.26.Over the past century, the child death rates hatve _________.(A)climbed steadily in impoverished countries(B)dropped remarkably in developed countries(C)fluctuated wildly in low-incoine countries(D)remained stable in middle-income countries 27.The most effective investment is in the treatment for ________.(A)tuberculosis
(B)heart disease(C)malaria(D)diarrhea 28.All of the following could be the contributing factors to heart disease EXCETP________.(A)heavy smoking(B)binge drinking(C)saturated animal fat intake(D)vegetable consumption 29.According to the author, if $ l billion were invested in the prevention and treatment of heart discase, whih of the following economic benefits would be produced?(A)$20 billion.學口譯,做金領!迎戰9月口譯考試 2009年春季“上海外語口譯”筆試查分公告 中高級口譯備考必看的歷年真題免費下載

You might think that hamburgers were invented in the United States, but that is not totally true.These round, flat cakes or patties actually came from Germany in the middle of the 19th century.They were brought to the United
States by German immigrants who came from the city of Hamburg.That is why their name was Hamburger Stake.However, people in other places claim that they invented the hamburger.Perhaps we'll never have a clear answer.But there is no question that the hamburger was a great hit.Why? Perhaps because at that time, industry was growing and a kind of fast, practical and cheap food was needed for workers.The hamburger became even more popular in the 1920s when the first chain of fast food restaurants was started.This chain was called ”White Castle“.It served tiny hamburgers that were sold for only 5 cents each.Then, in the 1930s there came the drive-in restaurant where customers were served in their cars by waiters in uniform.And the hamburger was one of the most popular menu items.By now, the hamburger was ready to conquer the world.And this happened with McDonald's, which was actually a hot dog stand at first.But by the early 1950s the hot dog was replaced by the hamburger.McDonald's and other fast food restaurants spring up around the world throughout the rest of the 20th century.McDonald's alone has sold 12 hamburgers for every person in the world.The importance of the hamburger to U.S.culture remains significant.About 60% of all sandwiches that are eaten are hamburgers.According to some sources, 7% of current workers in the Untied States had their first job at McDonald's.But the face of the hamburger is changing according to the times.Nowadays it is possible to buy a chicken burger, a turkey burger, a fish burger or a veggie burger.Statements

Passage one(Q11-14)W:What are you laughing about? M: I just saw the silliest advertisement on TV for German soups.It's said our products are home-made with the freshest vegetables and fruits.Then a scene in the factory showed that products were prepared and packed by the most sophisticated machinery.W: And I am sure that the word NATURAL was put on the jars and cans of the products.I think the stupidest advertisements are those that imply that you are one of a kind.If you buy the product, you will be a very special person.Now you will be just like every other one of the 20 million people who bought it.M: That's really silly.But to me, the dumbest of them all is when advertisers put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular brand of soap or about a particular car.I bet that the celebrity's never used the product before they got the job of appearing in the commercial.W: Yeah!But most of these commercials work and people remember the product.M: I agree, here we are talking about ads we've seen, aren't we? We are all influenced by those celebrities and brand names.W: I think teenagers are specially vulnerable.Advertisers try to get teenagers used to a brand because they know that in later years, the teenagers will stick to that particular product of theirs.Question 11: What in the advertisement has made the man laugh? Question 12: When some ads imply that you are one of a kind, what does that mean? Question 13: Why does the advertiser put a celebrity on TV to talk about a particular product? Question 14: According to the woman, what will teenagers do if they are used to a brand? Passage two(Q15-18)Many of you may have heard of ”jetlag", which is a condition of sleep disorders resulting from rapid travel over time zones such as on a jet plane.The symptoms of jetlag can be quite varied and may include: loss of appetite, nausea, headache, fatigue, insomnia or even mild depression.Here are few tips for you to avoid jetlag or cope if you are stricken by the condition.First adjust your biological rhythm several days before your departure.And develop a plan
to start switching to the time zone of your destination.For instance, if you will be flying from New York to Paris where it is 6 hours later, get up one hour earlier for a couple of days, then two hours earlier, then three hours earlier.I would try to at least get half way to a new time zone.Turn lights on during daytime in your destination and off during the night time.Second, during the time of your adjustment and especially during the flight, drink plenty of water.If you are not a big water fan, drink some other fluid that is not high in sugar, carbonation or caffeine.Avoid junk food, salty foods, caffeine and alcohol on the plane.Of course I say that, but I always have a couple of drinks during the flight, if you do that, just be sure to drink as much water between drinks as possible.Thirdly, when you arrive in your destination, try to resist the urge to nap during day time, get outside during the daylight hours, even if it's just to sit in a café and relax.Try to get a good night's sleep for the first couple nights.The key is to reset your body's natural clock and to get enough rest.Finally when you return home, use some of the same tactics above to return to your previous time zone.Q15.What's the speaker's definition of jetlag? Q16.What's the difference of the time zones between New York and Paris? Q17.What does the speaker recommend if you do not want to drink much water during the flight? Q18.According to the speaker, what should you try to do once you arrive at the destination? Passage 3(Q19-22)

Passage 4(Q23-26)May I have your attention, ladies and gentlemen? Since the International club meets only once every semester for this special event, the first thing on our agenda is to have the secretary read the minutes of the last meeting.So when I finish this opening speech, the secretary will read the minutes of our meeting for the last semester.And then we'll go through our annual treasurer's report and decide whether it can be accepted or not.At the top of our agenda, and I'm sure in everyone's mind, is the International Display Week.It has been proposed for discussion.I was chairman of the African club, and now as chairman of the International club, I know more than anyone else the importance of such a display week.Let me explain.There are ten foreign clubs here representing the foreign students on our campus.The purpose of these clubs is, first of all, to get the students from the same countries together, so we won't get too homesick, and so we can help each other over the rough spots.And secondly, so that the American students can join the club of their interest and learn about our culture as we learn theirs.Now, about the display.Some of you old hands will have to help me out, as there was so much going on I can't remember at all.Let me see.There are the Scottish folk dance and Irish one, too.We'll team up with the folk music club and recruit anyone who can sew to help make costumes.Of course, each group will set up a booth decorated with pictures and things of interest in their respective countries, and everyone will wear his national costume.Question 23: Who is the man?

I remember your mum had wanted you to go to London University so that you can live at home and walk or cycle to attend the lectures.M: Well, you know I didn't go to London University after all.My new university is on the suburbs of an ancient cathedral city and it is almost 8 miles from the city center.The university is planned on the so called American Campus System.That is to say, students live in halls of residence grouped around the main university buildings.F: You mean you live, eat and study within the university proper? M: Yes, I like it.Because we are a real community.We've got comfortable common rooms and bars.We arrange dances and parties.We've got clubs, theater groups, choirs and so on.And we've got an orchestra.I played the drums in it.By the way, how about your university days, Betty?
F: I rent a house with two other girls in the middle of the city about then minutes walk from the university.The house is falling to pieces.It is damp and there is no proper heating.M: That sounds awful.I couldn't work in a place like yours.The district is poor and could almost be classed as a slum.F: I don't think so.We live among real people who treat us as real people.We've got an electrician living next door, who is always coming in and mending our cooker and electric fires.We could try to get into one of the halls of the residents.But we prefer to be independent.It's nice to belong to the city and to do things outside the university.M: What sort of things do you do outside the university? M: Well, there is a group of us who go and help in a home for handicapped children.And I think in the city bar choir we get on well with the local people, not like you in that suburban district.W: Well, I like history.And my university is one of the best universities for that subject.Besides, it is an ancient city with a lot of historical relics and sightseeing spots.If you can drop by by any chance, I can show you around.F: You bet.27.Where do the man's family live? 28.What is typical of the American Campus System?

to win clients to make influential contacts to discuss and settle internal disagreements and even to interview potential employees.Some companies always conduct job interviews over lunch.A business lunch usually lasts from one to two and half hours and it often takes place at a restaurant with a pleasant, quiet atmosphere conducive to private discussions.2.As the world population becomes denser, we will feel greater pressure from the expanding number of people.Some experts argue that we are approaching the limit of the number of people the earth can support adequately and they feel we should turn to compulsory birth control.Other authorities feel that if birth control is imposed on the population, the future of mankind will be seriously endangered.They think intelligent people will be more likely to have fewer children, which would bring about a lowering of the level of intelligence.Spot Dictation

? 2.世界人口密度不斷加大,越來越多的人帶來的壓力也不斷增加。專家認為,我們正在接近地球所能有效供養的人口的極限,因此應該進行人口計劃控制。也有人認為這樣會危及到人類的未來,通常高智商人群生育的孩子比較少。因此,有人擔憂,這會引起人類整體智力水平的下降。

平常的經濟蕭條一旦來臨,大家都明確應該馬上著手做哪些事情:重新翻開塵封已久的凱恩斯的著作,聯邦政府調低利息率,總統和國會開始減稅,增加財政支出。用不了多久,市場上購銷兩旺,生產線生機勃勃,貸款扶搖而上,于是乎,凱恩斯的書又回了書架。不需要對經濟體制做重大的改革,要知道我們的經濟固然偶爾會有一點磕磕碰碰,從根本上說還是健康的。第二次世界大戰以后,每次蕭條一來,我們都這樣如法炮制。
關于哪個階層應該減稅最多,哪些計劃可以得到政府資金援助,共和黨人和民主黨人一直都爭論不休。不過,公眾輿論自然會要求他們有所作為,因此他們也往往能找到雙方都可接受的中間路線,共同推動一個經濟刺激的一攬子計劃。就算在今天的華盛頓,兩黨意見空前分歧,我們依然相信,兩黨都能接受的計劃最終一定會出臺。然而這次,我們不能指望事情就能就此了結--因為這一次到來的蕭條非比尋常,我們的經濟從根本上說也已經不健康。這一

Section 4
Our life is shortened by every tick of the second hand of the clock.Each page peeled away from the wall calendar marks a bygone day.Time is life, while life is cherished by everybody, but time, by few.How can we achieve something in our brief life? To learn some knowledge!To replenish ourselves!To help those in need!To add significance to our life!Time should not be squandered if we want to make our life meaningful(to get a lot out of our life).This principle is accepted by all, but wisely observed by very few.
第四篇:2012年工商銀行考試真題回憶
2012年工商銀行考試真題(回憶版)
今年考題全部是選擇題,機上考試,紅色部分為選項答案??荚囈还?75分鐘,英語60分鐘,綜合知識60分鐘,行測30分種,個人興趣25分鐘
英語題好多,我做到75題的樣子時間就到了,系統直接轉入了下一個環節,所以我也不知道英語到底有多少道題,聽說100道,應該先選完題再說,沒做完后悔死了,不過難度在4級以下,很簡單。60到單項選擇題,考到了due to詞組,skilled做后置形容詞,生詞很少;3篇完形填空,很短,每篇就3個空的樣子,剩下的是閱讀,我做了有4、5篇吧,每篇3道題左右
個人興趣環節每題有兩個選項,不用思考,憑直覺做就可以了,比如:
1:A、我很容易生氣 B、我工作速度很慢
2:A、我總是堅持工作,結束前從不放棄 B、我喜歡細致型工作
很多題是把選項是重復的組合一起,有90道,時間是25分
綜合知識涵蓋面有些廣,包括言語理解、圖形及數字推理、邏輯推理、資料分析等,一部分是工行的新聞,動態:
1、8月5日該行又與南非標準銀行集團就阿根廷標準銀行股權買賣交易達成協議收購阿根廷標準銀行80%的股權,將使工商銀行獲得阿根廷商業銀行牌照,成為第一家進入當地市場的中資金融機構,戰略意義突出。,2、印度金融中心:孟買
3、上半年跨境人民幣業務量達4060億元,是去年全年的3倍4、2011年上半年工商銀行實現稅后利潤1096億元人民幣,同比增長29%;
5、不良貸款余額和不良貸款率連續11年保持雙下降,不良率降至1.08%
6、工行的使命:提供卓越金融服務(企業文化要看看)
7、工行的獲獎情況
有一部分是選擇形容詞填空:
1、比如連小孩子都知道吸煙的壞處,---大人呢?
A何況 B、況且
2、考察:“龍盤虎踞”的意思
A、擁有得天獨厚的自然條件B、形容地勢的險要
管理、經濟學方面:SWOT分析應用,三角套匯計算及逃匯的概念選擇理解,需求價格彈性、等成本曲線及等產量線,M1和M2的定義、銀行貸款利率計算,抽樣調查定義
時事政治:G20峰會及討論主題,中國的計劃生育為世界減緩了幾億人口的出生(4億),會計方面只考了一道題,關于股利支付率還有流動比率
