Passage TranslationPassage 11970 年，一位美国人发明了一辆与众不同的自行车。它看上去好像是将两辆自行车合为一辆，并且可同时供两人使用。每一位骑车人都有自己的座位。因为他们都有各自的手把，都能驾驭自行车。然而，该项发明未能成功。如果其中一位骑车人略微向左拐，另一位略微向右拐，两人都会摔倒在经。1沪江英语Passage 2过去两年来，许多州和城市都已经在公共场所限制吸烟。越来越多的饭店和其他私人企业鉴于健康的原因自觉出台有关吸烟的规定。在纽约市，数以十计的冰淇淋食品店划出了禁烟区，而且看起来更多的顾客提出要坐在禁烟区，而不是吸烟区。SECTION 2：STUDYSKILLS1-511-1521-25DDBBBBBCDCCADCD6-1016-2026-30CBADBCDCBADDBDASECTION 3：TRANSLATION TEST (1)20 年前，摩托罗拉公司带着近乎害怕的心理看待日本企业。早在（20 世纪）60 年代，这个公司芝加哥的电视制造分公司规模大、利润高。但在 70 年代初，高成本以及日本廉价电视机日趋上升的势头使其遭受重创。“日本人非常嚣张，”摩托罗拉公司发言人马里奥萨尔瓦多瑞追忆道,“他们想分享市场。”通过残酷无情的价格战，他们如愿以偿，并最终把几乎所有美国电子公司赶出电视机行业。1974 年，摩托罗拉将其 Quasar 电视生产厂卖给了一家日本公司。但是，当其他美国公司在对外竞争中败北的时候，摩托罗拉公司重新调整了产业方向，转向无线通讯。这是一个它在 20 年代开拓的产业（另外还有移动收音机和步话机）。此举确有先见之明。SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2)According to a survey, about 40% of our countrys youth do not read any books other thantheir textbooks. I am shocked at the result. I remain suspicious of the survey, though the peopleconcerned claim it to be scientific. Despite my suspicion, the fact is that more and more youngpeople, instead of reading, spend their spare time watching TV, going to dance parties, playingvideo games or chitchatting. Gorgy once said:“Books are steps toward human progress.”As weall know, books is a crystallization of human wisdom. Although modern media such as TV andcomputers enjoy advantages in the speed of information dissemination, so far none of them canreplace books in respect of the depth of knowledge being spread.听力测试题录音文字稿:SECTION 1: LISTENING TESTPart A: Sport DictationDirections: In this part of the test, you will hear a passage and read the same passage withblanks in it. Fill in each of the blanks with the word or words you have heard on the tape. Writeyour answer in the correstponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Remember you willhear the passage ONLY ONCE. Now, lets begin Part A with Spot Dictation.(Woman) Many people nowadays are concerned about violence on television. Most of them2沪江英语fear that it stimulates television viewers to violent or aggressive acts. However, in my lecturetoday, Id like to show you, from our recent research, that the consequences of experiencingtelevisions symbolic world of violence can be much more far-reaching.We have found that television dramatically demonstrates not only the power of authority inour society, but also the risks involved in breaking societys rules. Violence-filled programs ontelevision show us who gets away with what, and against whom. These programs teach the roleof victim, and help us to accept violence as a social reality which we must learn to live with orescape from.We have found that people who watch a lot of television see the real world as moredangerous and frightening than those who watch very little. Heavy TV viewers are less trustfulof strangers on the street and more fearful of the real world. Their fear may well bring increasingdemands for police protection, and election of law-and-order politicians. When we askedviewers to estimate their own chances of being involved in some type of violence during anygiven week, they provide further evidence that television can induce fear and alertness: theheavy viewers were 33 percent more likely than the light viewers to pick such fearful estimatesas 50-50 or one in 10, instead of a more plausible one in 100.We have found that violence on prime-time network TV cultivates exaggerated assumptionsabout the threat of danger in the real world. Fear is a universal emotion, and naturally, easy toexploit by the media. The exaggerated sense of risk and insecurity may lead to increasingdemands for protection, and to increasing pressure for the use of force by established authority.Therefore, instead of stimulating individual aggressive behavior and threatening the social order,television may have become our chief instrument of social control and stability.Part B: Listening Comprehension.

From north tosouth and from east to west it is only about three hundred miles, or four hundred and eightykilometers, across. But small as it is, Britain has a surprising range of climates. People who havenever visited this country, or who have visited only one part of it, often make the mistake ofthinking that it is clod and wet in Britain. Have you ever heard of a typical Englishman wearinga bowler hat and carrying an umbrella all the time? His image is well known all over the world.You may assume that this is because he lives in a cold and rainy country. Well, except for thesummer months of June to September this is a probably true of the north of Britain and theMidlands. In the south, however, the weather is much more pleasant. As a result, when peopleretire from a job in the north, they often prefer no move down to the warmer and milder south.Perhaps the warmest part of the country is the southwest, namely, the counties of Devonand Cornwall. Every year, the warm Gulf Stream flows across the North Atlantic Ocean from theGulf of Mexico and brings a quite warm and mild climate to the coastal regions of the southwest.In this part of the country grows semi-tropical plants such as bamboo and palm trees. Flowersand vegetables ripen as a month earlier than those elsewhere. In winter, while there may beseveral feet of snow in other parts of Britain, there will probably be no snow at all in thesouthwest. That is why the southwestern counties remain to be Britains most popular holidayareas all the year round.Question No.15. According to the talk, which is the best season for people in the north of Britainto enjoy mild and pleasant climates?Question No.16. What is the approximate distance from the north coastal lines of Britain to thesouth coastal lines?Question No.17. Which of the following best describes the weather conditions in Britain?Question No.18. Why are Devon and Cornwall popular holiday areas all the year round?Question 19 to 22 are based on the following conversation.(Woman)(Man)(Woman)(Man)(Woman)John, do you think we make too much use of tinned and frozen food in Britain? Thesupermarkets here are full of them, arent they? Perhaps that is why our food is notvery tasty, as you may have found out already.But frozen foods are convenient and handy, arent they? Just think of all the tediouswork we have to do in the kitchen if it werent for the frozen foods and the like.Yes, thats true! But you spend much more time cooking and preparing meals in yourcountry than we do in Britain, dont you?Yes, I suppose we do. You make less fuss about food than we do. In my own country,we have two big meals a day, that is, lunch and dinner, and we spend a lot of timepreparing them. Here in Britain, you have only one big meal a day, apart frombreakfast and lunch snack, and you spend much less time preparing it.Yes, but were just as fond of good and delicious food as you are.5沪江英语(Man)Well, you certainly dont show it !(Woman)(Man)We do fuss about our meals sometimes, and remember, we like to eat out on specialoccasions, such as weekend evenings, birthday, parties and other celebrations.London is full of foreign restaurants where you can get all the exotic dishes of theworld.

This was brought about by the change in that long-standing tradition offamily lifethe evening meal.Before television became popular with the average American family, the typical Americandinner would involve almost all th4e family members. The dinner would take part in three stages:the preparation stage, the eating stage and the clean-up stage. In the preparation stage, thechildren often helped with setting the table while the mother cooked the meal. In the eating stage,the family members, old and young, would talk about their days activities as they ate. As noonas the evening meal was over, the children were again involved in the cleaning-up stage, so that,as in the first two stages, their importance within the family was clear.After the arrival of television, the eating stage began to change. Family members could noweat and watch television at the same time. As a result, they stopped talking to each other. It wasthe TV dinner, however, that killed off the preparation and the clean-up stages. Before long, allpeople had to do was use a fork, since the TV dinner could go from the oven to the lap, and fromthe lap to the rubbish bin with great ease.By the beginning of the 1980s, the typical American family dinner was just 20 minutes long.Of course, the pace of modern life has increased, and this has affected the time we spent overdinner. But the introduction of a meal that could be eaten between the start and finish of a30-minute television programmed has also contributed to this change of our family life.Question No.23.

What did American Children use to do in the preparation stage of the evening6沪江英语meal?Question No.26.
