Charlie Chaplin （查理·卓别林）has broken all records in making people laugh. No one else has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the walking stick and the overlarge shoes.

8

Much h as been written about Chaplin’s art and his career. Those who have called him a genius stress the timeless and common qualities in his work. It is an art filled with sad stories and deep human feeling that get people involved. It is for these reasons that the figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation.

Chaplin’s life history writers agree that Charlie’s unhappy early years in the poor area in London had a great influence on his development and on the type of films he made. Indeed, his suffering youth had a lasting influence on him. In 1918, he gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American soldiers came home from World War I. So perfectly was it done that even the returning soldiers found it impossible to hate it. They deeply appreciated his short and

9

humorous performance. Chaplin gave lots of performances, satirizing （讽刺）the cruelty of the machine age and even making fun of Hitler（希特勒）. Chaplin and his funny films continue to be popular years after his death.

1.Which of the following is NOT true about Charlie Chaplin?

5.This passage is ____________.

11

A.written for Charlie Chaplin

B.written for students to learn film-making

D.written by Charlie Chaplin

Passage B

The meaning of time is different in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently.

In the United States, it is unusual to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to （赋予）telephone

12

calls made after 11:00 p.m.. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes （认为）it’s a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

In social life, time plays a very important role. In the U. S.

A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But this is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.

advance may be considered foolish.

D.In American social life, time plays a very important role.

15

Passage C

Messages can be sent across the land by means of the electric telegraph; but you cannot put up a line of telegraph posts across the sea. Messages can be sent across the ocean by radio or by cable. The cable lies on the sea bottom and it has to have very good insulation(绝缘）. If any part of it is weak, the water will get through and stop all signals.

The first cable under the sea was between England and France. It was laid in 1851. In 1857 engineers tried to lay a cable across the Atlantic Ocean, but they met a lot of difficulties. Halfway across the Atlantic the cable broke, and the ship that was laying it had to return.

Kelvin advised that another cable ought to be laid. It was made ready, and put on board a big ship. Kelvin and his friends

16

traveled with it and after many days of hard work, they reached America without breaking the cable. Kelvin himself sent the first message by cable from America to Britain. Unfortunately only 732 messages were sent through this cable before it broke.

The next cable was laid in 1866, and this time there were no problems.

11.Messages can be sent across the ocean_______.

A.t hrough insulating post

14.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

across the ocean.

B.T he undersea cable must be made strong enough to prevent

water getting through it.

C.W hen the undersea cable was made ready, it must be put on

board a big ship.

18

D.T he undersea cable must be made strong enough to stop all

signals.

15.This passage is mainly about _____.

A.t he different use of the undersea cable

B.t he difficulties of laying an undersea cable

C.a n introduction to the early undersea cable

D.a n outline for laying an undersea cable

Passage D

Do you remember the time when people were a little nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance out first’ or never saying “Thank you” when others hold the door open for them. We get lazy. An d in our laziness’ we

19

think that something’ like a simple “Thank You” doesn’t really matter. But it can matter very much. No matter how nicely we dress’ or how beautifully we decorate(装饰)our home’ we can’ t be truly elegant (优雅的)without good manners because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact’ I think of the good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. Haven’ t you noticed that the kindest people seem to keep getting prettier? It’ s funny how that happens. But it does. For example’ the long-lost art of saying “Thank You” is like wearing a little makeup(化妆)or making sure your hair is neat. Getting into the habit of saying “Thank You” can make you feel better about yourself. Good manners add to your image while an angry face makes the best- dressed person look ugly.

16.What does the speaker say about the people of the past?

The idea is that Apple designers strive for simplicity just as Picasso eliminated details to create a great work of art. 在苹果公司内部大学的一堂课上，讲师曾提到毕加索绘制名画《公牛》时的11 块石版画，他认为苹果打造智能手机等设备的过程与之类似。也就是说，苹果设计师追求简洁，就像毕加索剔除细枝末节，创造不朽艺术作品一样。 1.liken to liken [somebody]/[something] to ...把某人/某事物比作… 这里我认为作者想说是毕加索用11 块石版画拼成一幅画这种创作手法与苹果制作手机等的方法类似，仔细看一下文章，liken 后面的主语是11 lithographs, to后面是the way,译文很聪明地都表达到位了。 Steven P.

英语笔译实务(二级)

醉翁之意不在酒 最近，美国的一些高级经济官员宣称，人民币兑美元的价值被低估了，因此人民币应该升值。这一说法的根据是：中国的外汇储备已达约3500亿美元，而中国拥有的美国政府债券已经超过1220亿美元。从这个意义上说，中国已成为美国的最大债权国之一，已经占了上风。美国政府的这种担心不难理解。曾几何时，美国把日本当做替罪羊，说是日本人抢走了美国人的饭碗。然后又指责墨西哥。现在又指控说中国人做事不公，以廉价的币值和较低的单位成本向美国出口产品。 在此情况下，美国的高价产品滞销，美国工厂的库存积压，其结果是工人失业，甚至工厂关闭。所以，中国的经济政策应对美国的失业问题负责。此种论调根本站不住脚。如果美国的消费者不购买廉价的中国产品，则需购买高价的同类产品。因此，购买中国产品可省下钱来购买更多的由美国生产的资本密集型或知识密集型产品。实际情况是，中国向美国出口低价商品可以增加美国人的实际收入。由此看来，美国政府对中国一而再、再而三地抱怨完全是醉翁之意不在酒。 What Are They Driving At? Recently, some top U. S. economic officials argue that the RMB yuan is undervalued vis-à-vis the U. S. dollar. Therefore, it is time for the yuan to appreciate. The basis for their argument is that China has accumulated about $350 billion in foreign-currency reserves and over $122 billion in U. S. government bonds. China has, it that sense, become one of the biggest creditors to the United States, which has given China an upper hand over the United States. It is not difficult to understand why the United States has such a worry. It was not too long ago that the Japanese were made the scapegoat of the Amerians. They were accused of taking American jobs. The the Mexicans were accused. Now they have found another accusation, saying that the Chineses are not fair – they go about exporting to the U.S. by taking advantage of a cheap yuan which means lower unit costs of Chinese goods. Such being the case, higher priced American goods are not selling well, and inventories build up at U. S. factories, and the result is layoffs or, even worse, plant closings. Therefore, it is agued that China’s economic policies are responsible for the job losses in the U.S.. An argument of this kind can hardly hold water. American consumers either buy Chinese low priced goods or go elsewhere to buy them at higher prices. Since purchases of Chinese goods can save money, it means the Americans can make more purchases of the more capital or knowledge intensive goods manufactured in the United States. The fact of the matter is that the cheap Chinese-made exports into the United States can actually increase the real income of American consumers. It is obvious that the U. S. was making a left-handed complaint for ulterior puposes by harping on the “undervalued” RMB.
