by students from any college of the university”，這里對(duì)應(yīng)17題的選擇B，而這個(gè)情況與我們所熟悉的中國(guó)大學(xué)不同，值得注意。
第三個(gè)task也比較直觀，只是可能有些同學(xué)不熟悉tube與subway，underground及metro都表示地鐵，同時(shí)如果你對(duì)希斯羅機(jī)場(chǎng)Heathrow Airport有所了解，你就不難在第21題選擇A。
第四個(gè)task講到的美國(guó)總統(tǒng)F. D. Roosevelt以及他的夫人Eleanor Roosevelt。如果你對(duì)羅斯?？偨y(tǒng)的生平有所了解，那你應(yīng)該知道他在39歲時(shí)染上小兒麻痹證(polio)，在原文中你會(huì)遇到一個(gè)詞paraplegia(截癱；下身麻痹)，相信沒有多少人認(rèn)識(shí)這個(gè)詞。但只要你對(duì)他有所了解，在對(duì)Question No. 25: Why was President Roosevelt unable to enjoy sports such as golf or tennis?作出選擇時(shí)，十分容易選擇B。另外關(guān)于Roosevelt夫婦的介紹中，Eleanor Roosevelt也是一個(gè)重點(diǎn)，她是一位的婦女權(quán)利和民權(quán)活動(dòng)家。原文前半部分中有“For example, at her weekly press conferences, she invited only female reporters, knowing newspapers all over the country would be forced to hire their first female reporter in order to have access to the first lady. As a result, an entire generation of female journalists got their start”，這一段針對(duì)Question 24，選擇為C。當(dāng)然，如果你對(duì)Eleanor Roosevelt的生平有所了解，選擇就更容易了。有趣的是，04年3月高級(jí)口譯考試聽力部分Questions 11 to 15，同樣也是關(guān)于Roosevelt夫婦。
第五個(gè)task中，原文的對(duì)話里談到的是mortgage，而Question 28當(dāng)中對(duì)應(yīng)的是選項(xiàng)A中的“debts”，而那位男士在對(duì)話的最后通過大量的概率分析得出結(jié)論，對(duì)應(yīng)Question 30的選項(xiàng)C。
PART C: LISTENING AND TRANSLATION:
聽譯在中級(jí)口譯中占30分，也是一個(gè)大項(xiàng)，而且如果發(fā)揮得好，是一個(gè)“掙分”的項(xiàng)目。同學(xué)們對(duì)這一部分的試題總是有些擔(dān)心，大家主要反映在聽的過程中無法同時(shí)兼顧理解和記筆記(note-taking)，往往在聽的過程中似乎明白了原文，但在做翻譯的時(shí)候卻想不起原文的細(xì)節(jié)。這個(gè)問題在聽譯的PASSAGES部分更為突出。
在聽力教學(xué)的過程中，我們的老師會(huì)給大家介紹note-taking的一些方法。但熟練掌握是以大量的練習(xí)為基礎(chǔ)的。只有在聽與考試同等難度的句子或段落時(shí)，感覺比較輕松，才有可能有余力做好note-taking的工作。這一項(xiàng)在高級(jí)口譯考試中同樣存在，而且中級(jí)和高級(jí)的難度相差并不大，做好了這一練習(xí)，也為以后在高級(jí)口譯考試中的順利過關(guān)打下良好基礎(chǔ)。在這里，我把聽譯的原文奉獻(xiàn)給大家。大家在做練習(xí)的過程中，記住一點(diǎn)：“不求細(xì)節(jié)面面俱到，但求總體把握，自圓其說”。
sentences:
1. There has been another railway crash outside Glasgow, 4 people were killed and at least 10 people were injured.
2. Today, trade unions are very common throughout the United States. The goal of the unions has been to promote better rights and welfare of the employees.
3. On the whole, I’ve found television commercials extremely annoying. They have nothing to do with the TV programs you’re watching and they can only interrupt and destroy your concentrations.
4. We must work harder to overcome our differences. We must treat all our people with fairness and dignity regardless of their race, religion, gender or educational background.
5. According to a professor at Harvard University, he can tell by examining a 9-month-old baby whether that baby is likely to succeed in school simply by observing how that child approaches very simple tasks like playing with blocks.
Passages:
1. Since the Second World War, a number of completely new towns have been built. Most of these new towns are on the edge of country villages or small market towns. They have been carefully planned with traffic-free shopping centers. Each town is self-contained with its own hospitals, churches, schools, colleges and industries. The purpose of the new towns is to attract people and industry away from the crowded cities and to set up whole new communities
2. I believe the biggest challenge facing us today is how to improve the environmental situation. This is a very important point both f
