大学B级考试 阅读与翻译 一、 阅读理解 1(概述 阅读理解(Reading Comprehention)是试卷的第三部分( Part III )，该章 节包含五个任务(task),前两个任务的测试形式是“四选一”(36-45)，后 三个任务以实用阅读为主(46-60题)，分别采用“填空，匹配和简答”的形式。 阅读理解的第一任务是阅读，只有具备了一定的词汇量才能通读全文。 高等学校英语应用能力考试的总阅读量在1000-1500词之间，那么要求具备的 词汇必须在3500词左右。尽管实用阅读的理解难度不深，但是对于文章主旨 大意的把握，句中某些词汇的所指极其含义也是不容忽视的。 2(讲解 对文章或段落进行理解，不外乎从两方面入手:一是谋篇，二是谋句。“谋 篇”注重对文章的概括，明白文章的主旨大意，了解作者的观点与态度。“谋句‖ 侧重细节，根据上下文正确理解句义和词义，能够迅速查找出所需信息。只有清 楚了解进行阅读理解测试的目的，考生才能不惧任何考试形式，从容面对考试。 下面分别对这五个任务进行举例说明。 样题一 ( Task 1 ) ―Someday, when I have time, I’d like to…‖ Heard that lately? I think I use that phrase at least 10 times a week. And you’ve probably said something similia. After all, we all have things we’d like to do ―when we have time.‖ However, ―someday‖ never seems to arrive. Let’s face it: you may never have the time to do anything extra.

When you’ve finished the day’s tasks, you may find some time left to do those extra activities. Set goals. Decide on the goals for your time. Write these goals down and put them where youwill srr them every day. Make healthy decisions. Eat quality food, get plenty of sleep, and exercise regularly. Yes, this will cost you a few of your precious minutes. But you’ll also have more energy. That means you’ll be more lkely to spend your evenings effectively instead of wtching TV at home. 36 According to the author, all of us complain that ________. A) we don’t have enough time to do things we’d like to do B) we have too much leisure time to spend a day C) we don’t have much time to work at home 1 D) we have too many things to worry about 37 To get your work done, the writer suggests that you should first _______.

A) organize your time B) do your extra activities C) make use of your time D) set goals for your time 例题分析 从“make the time‖这一词组不难看出，本文谈论的是有关时间的安排问 题。测试内容先从“谋句”开始，按写作顺序先理解 “complian‖的含义，再找 出三个‖suggestion‖的所指，最后再 “谋篇”—了解文章的主旨和作者的写作目 的。 答案:36 ―complain‖ --- we don’t have enough time to do things we’d like to st37 1 suggestion ---make a work checklist nd38 2 suggestion --- decide on goals for your time rd39 3 suggestion --- be more efficient in work 40 ―intend to‖ --- make use of time Key: A D B C C 样题二 ( Task 2 ) Recordable CD-ROM Drive Everyday more and more people are joining a new kind of digital revolution, that of the recordable CD-ROM Drive.

Online business safety: protected by _____49_________ Contact telephone numer: ______50__________ 例题分析 本文采用填空的方式对文章进行理解，考查的重点仍在细节信息的辨认与查找上，因此阅读方法从后向前为佳。考生在做题时，首先要明确题目的要求，本文46的method, 47的date, 50的number都是重要的提示词，按图索骥直接去找就可以了;但是网站的purpose(目的)到底是什么，文中没有明确说出，不过可以找到这样一句话:This makes doing business over the Internet as safe as purchasing by telephone. 要知道，在表达“上网”时，over和on均可，这就透露出该网站的目的是doing business. 答案: 46 one click 47 October, 1996 48 doing business 49 powerful technology 50 1-404-728-8787 样题四 ( Task 4 ) A ___ Business Envirionment B ___ Entertaining a Client C ___ Ordering Goods D ___ Brand Power E ___ Public Relations F ___ Health and Safety G ___ Rights at Work H ___ Human Resources I ___ Going Global J ___ Marketing Disasters K ___ Company Performance L ___ Work and Leisure 4 M ___ Terms of Payment N ___ Research and Development O ___ Adervertising Strategy P ___ Sales Contracts Examples: ( P ) 销售 (M)支付条款 51( ( )公司业绩 ( )订购商品 52( ( )公共关系 ( )人力资源 53( ( )健康与安全 ( )走向全球 54( ( )广告策略 ( )商务环境 55( ( )品牌力量 ( )营销灾难 例题分析 这是一道信息匹配题，一般是从15,16或17个选项中挑选10个正确答案。 该题由于答案已给出，因此可采用对比或猜测的方法去完成。但是，由于该题考 查内容涉及学术、科技、商贸、标识等实用性术语，范围较广，考生还需平时多 留意，多积累这些方面的词汇。 答案: 51 K C 52 E H 53 F I 54 O A 55 D J 样题五 ( Task 5 ) The whole organization — all the members of the staff — must acknowledge and understand this: selling is the most important activity of the organization. From the chief executive to the office cleaner, everyone must accept this as the first priority over everything else in the company. The telephone operator, the accounts clerk, the storekeeper, and everyone else must know how to handle inquiries and customers politely and correctly. If the appropriate person is not around, other staff should take orders if necessary. The deliveryman must be willing to serve and please customers. Whether you are selling shoes, hotel rooms, building contracts or exhibition services, you must ensure that you and your organization get enough sales, customers, clients, contracts or business to ensure a goood regular inflow of income for your company.

The chief executive 57. The first priority 58. Six 59. The oxygen 60. It dies slowly. 3. 解题策略 在实考中，考生在做阅读理解题时，经常会犯以下的错误: 1)答非所问，凭想当然。尤其当选项里出现了文章中的词汇时，往往不再审 题就直接选择。 2)凭直觉，凭猜测，忽略细节查找与辨认。 3)信息遗漏。这种错误常发生在做填空和简答时，往往刚查找到信息就写下 来，没有注意信息完整与否。 4)信息混淆。匹配题中会有些类似的选项，一定要仔细推敲与对比。 针对上述错误，考生在实考时要多提醒自己: 1)注意审题，细心查找，确保信息的完整和正确。 2)不要慌张，不必匆忙。40分钟的阅读时间足以让你轻松面对每一个task. 3)书写要清晰，笔迹要工整。 4)完成后随即再检查一遍。 4(真题训练 ( 06年12月B级 ) Task 1 People who work night shiftts are cinstantly fighting against an ―internal clock‖ in their bodies.

During the day, when we are working, we leave th bags tied to the wall, out of the way. At bedtime we untie them and take them wherever we’ve chosen to sleep. On most spacecraft flights everyone sleeps at the same time. No one has to stay awake to watch over the spacecraft; the craft’s computers call us on the radio. On the spacecraft, sleep-time doesn’t mean nighttime. During each ninety-minute orbit (轨道) the sun ―rises‖ and shines through our windows for about fifty minutes, then it ―sets‖ as the spacecraft takes us around the dark side of the Earth. To keep the sun out of our eyes, we wear black sleep masks. It is surprisingly easy to get comfortable and fall asleep in space. Every astronaut (宇航员) sleeps differently: some sleep upside down, some sideways, and some right side up. When it’s time to sleep, I take my bag, my sleep mask and my tape player with earphones and float up to the flight deck (驾驶舱). Then I get into the bag, and float in a sitting position just above a seat, right next to a window. Before I pull the mask down over my eyes, I relax for a while, listening to music and watching the Earth go by under me. 36. When the astronauts are working, sleeping bags are fastened _______.

A) 除了回忆课堂上谈到的重点，还要搞清楚你没有弄懂的地方。 B) 复习课堂上讨论过的要点，还有你仍然感到混淆不清的地方。 C) 搞清课堂上提到的要点，你也就能纠正自己搞错了的地方。 D) 复习在课上提出的要点，你就可以弄清你误解的地方。 例题分析 该句首先要清楚两点:review的词义和词性,以及as well as的词义和作用。 此句的主要结构是:Review为动词，它连带的宾语是两个points，由as well as将它们连接起来。其他都是修饰成分。 答案: B 样题二 A man who doesn’t try to learn as much as possible from others cannot hope to achieve very much. A)一个人不愿意从别人那里学到东西，就无法实现他的愿望。 B)一个不想向别人多学点东西的人，是没有什么希望的。 C)不努力尽可能多地学习一些其他知识的人，就没有什么希望。 D)一个不肯尽力向别人学习的人，是不能指望会有多大成就的。 例题分析 该句为复合结构，所以首先要将who引导的从句找到(who…others); 然后在理解时，明确learn as much as possible的翻译;当然，achieve的词义必须明白，它与“成就”有关。 答案: D 样题三 The villagers would not have survived the earthquake without the continuous careful search efforts of the soldiers. 14 A)没有救援队的耐心和努力，所有村民都不能从地震中得救。 B)没有战士们仔细努力的救援，村民就不可能躲过这场地震。 C)要不是救援队及时赶到，村子就不可能在这场地震中幸免于难。 D)没有战士们坚持不懈的搜救，村民们就不可能在地震中活下来。 例题分析 首先要注意句子谓语的表达，would not have survived与without告诉考生: 这是一个虚拟语气的句子，此外, survive的词义以及对于词组continuous careful search efforts的理解也至关重要。 答案: D B 65题为段落翻译，要做好该题，考生除了应具备一定的语言理解能力和 基本的实用业务知识外，还需大致通晓基本的翻译技巧，这样译出的汉语才 能准确通畅自然。 下面介绍除顺译法外的几种常见的翻译技巧: 1) 分句译法。 当遇到一个较长的英语句子时，可以考虑将一句分成两句或多句去译， 尤其是句中含有较长的定语或者非限定性定语从句时，用分句译法比较好。 1(“SPPA”___Siemens Power Plant Automation Ltd. is a joint venture set up by Siemens Power Generation Group in Germany and Binhai Electric Power Automtion Equipment General Factory. 译文: “SPPA”___西门子电站自动化有限公司，是一家合资企业，由德 国西门子发电集团与滨海电力自动化设备总厂(投资)兴建。 2. An expert recommended using the newer digital phones, which have less radiation than analog. 译文:专家建议使用新式的数字手机，它比模拟手机的辐射量要小。 (比较:专家建议使用比模拟手机的辐射量要小的新式数字手机。) 3( FeeNet is the first free Internet service that gives you the deals that you really want from local businesses. 译文:免费网是第一家提供免费服务的网站，它能让你从本地的商家处得 到自己真正需要的好生意。 (比较:免费网是第一家能让你从本地的商家处得到自己真正需要的好生 意的提供免费服务的网站。) 2) 倒译法。 这种方法是将位于后面或句尾的成分调整到前面先译，常针对状语或状 语从句。 4 Visitors are required to leave Hong Kong on or before the date when the limit of stay expires. 译文:当逗留期满时，游客必须于当天或之前离港。 5. This will see approximately 130 additioanal female athletes competing in China 15 in 2008. 译文:这将使2008年在中国(赛场上)竞赛的女运动员增加约130名。 6. Notice is hereby given that the water supply is not available from 7:00a.m. to 11:00 p.m. tomorrow, owing to the repairs of the water pipes. 译文:由于自来水管检修，明天从早上七点至晚上十一点停水。特此通知。 3) 转态译法。 在英语应用文以及科技文章中，经常会出现被动语态的句子，除了直接 译成“被、受、由”等，较好的处理方式是将其转译成主动语态。 7. A highly developed physical science is characterized by an extensive use of mathematics. 译文:一门高速发展的自然科学的特点是数学的广泛运用。 8. It is reported that most of the questions have been settled satisfactorily. 译文:据报道，大部分问题都已经令人满意地解决了。 9 The decision to cut down the oil productions was not taken lightly by OPEC. 译文:欧佩克组织没有轻易做出削减石油产量的决定。 4) 重组法。 顾名思义，这是将句子结构顺序打乱，按照汉语思维把意群重新排列。 10.
