The translator must have an excellent,up-to-date knowledge of his 11 languages, full facility in the handlingof his target language, which will be his mother tongue or language of habitualuse, and knowledge and understanding of the 12 subject-matter in his field ofspecialization. This is, as it were, his professional equipment. In addition tothis, it is desirable that he should have an 13 mind, wide interests, a good memory and the ability to grasp quicklythe basic principles of new developments. He should be willing to work on hisown, often at high speeds, but should be humble enough to 14 othersshould his own knowledge not always prove adequate to the task in hand. He shouldbe able to type fairly quickly and accurately and, if he is working mainly forpublication, should have more than a nodding 15 with printing techniques andproof-reading. If he is working basically as an information translator, let ussay, for an industrial firm, he should have the flexibility of mind to enablehim to 16 rapidly from one sourcelanguage to another, as well as from one subject-matter to another, since thisability is frequently required of him in such work. Bearing in mind the natureof the translator´s work, i.e. the processing of the written word, it is,strictly speaking, 17 that he should be able to speak the languages heis dealing with. If he does speak them, it is an 18 rather than a hindrance, but this skillis in many ways a luxury that he can do away with. It is, however, desirablethat he should have an approximate idea about the pronunciation of his sourcelanguages even if this is restricted to 19 how proper names and placenames are pronounced. The same applies to an ability to write his sourcelanguages. If he can, well and good; if he cannot, it does not matter. Thereare many other skills and 20 that are desirable in a translator.

It is no good on dwelling the past. Whatexisted or happened in the past may have been beautiful or exciting and may nowbring profound and precious memories, but the past is dead, and it is nothealthy for living spirits to linger over a world inhabited by ghost. The pastmay also be a place of horror, of regret, of spilled milk, of unfortunate deedsthat cannot be undone, of sad words like "might have been." However,it is painful and pointless to fixate on a period that cannot be relieved orrepaired. It is unproductive self-punishment. The past must be kept in itsplace, outlive and outgrow.
It is also useless to worry about thefuture. Why fly to heaven before it´s time? What anxious visions haunt peoplewho think too much about the future? They may envision the horrible mushroomcloud; the earth shriveling from radiation; the over-populated, abused earthgone dead. They may imagine their own lives going awry; appointments missed;advancements given to someone else; their houses burned to the ground; theirloves lost; everything in their lives, as in a nightmare, slipping away. Thereis no end to the disasters people can worry about when focusing anxiously onthe future. There are events in the future, including their own deaths, overwhich they have little or no control, but which can ruin their lives if theyworry about them. There are some disasters they may be able to prevent, butthey must do that by living well in the present, not simply by worrying aboutthe future.
The present moment, which is even now movinginto the past, is the only reality I know, and I don´t want to miss it. Thewild cherry cough drop dissolving in my mouth is sweet and soothing. Even mysore throat and backache have meaning. The cool night air, the cracking noiseof my furnace, my cat yawning and stretching--these are the tangible realitiesI can recognize. They exist in this moment, together with my own breathing, thewarm lamp overhead, the jerking of my typewriter. Along with these are therealities of other and of all life on this earth, which matter to me now, notat some past or future time.
Everyone needs a sense of history, I think,particularly a feeling for his or her own roots, but history needs to keep itsdistance to be appreciated. It is also vital to have some sense of direction, whichmeans making plans for the future but not becoming preoccupied with them. Whatis most important, I believe, is living in the present, that is, being alivenow.
{TS} Bydescribing the past as "a world inhabited by ghost" (Line 3, Para 1),the author means that_______________.
A、the past is anindication
B、the past is thesource of unhappy feelings
C、the past is allabout the spirits of the dead
D、the past is oflittle significance for the present
25
What does theauthor suggest that we do with the past?
A、Let the pastoutlive and outgrow our life.
B、Repair what hasbeen done wrong in the past.
C、Put aside thepast no matter it is good or bad.
D、Keep the sweetmemories and abandon the bitter ones.
26
Which of thefollowing may be the worst problem that threatens one´s life?
A、Living with greatanxiety.
B、Heavily-pollutedenvironment.
C、Lack of righteouspurpose for life.
D、Incapability ofcontrolling life events.
27
What does theauthor most probably treasure?
A、The sore throatand backache he is having.
B、Any living thingshe gets along with everyday.
C、The healthy lifehe will enjoy after he recovers.
D、The wild-cherrycough drop he drank a moment ago.

Khalida´s fathersays she´s 9-or maybe 10. As much as Sayed Shah loves his 10 children, thefunctionally illiterate Afghan farmer can´t keep track of all their birthdates. Khalida huddles at his side, trying to hide beneath her chador andheadscarf. They both know the family can´t keep her much longer. Khalida´sfather has spent much of his life raising opium, as men like him have beendoing for decades in the stony hillsides of eastern Afghanistan and on thedusty southern plains. It´s the only reliable cash crop most of those farmersever had. Even so, Shah and his family barely got by: traffickers may prosper,but poor farmers like him only subsist. Now he´s losing far more than money."I never imagined I´d have to pay for growing opium by giving up mydaughter," says Shah. The family´ s heartbreak began when shah borrowed$2000 from a local trafficker, promising to repay the loan with 24 kilos ofopium at harvest time. Late last spring, just before harvest, a governmentcrop-eradication team appeared at the family´s little plot of land in Laghmanprovince and destroyed Shah´s entire two and a half acres of poppies. Unable tomeet his debt, Shah fled with his family to Jalalabad, the capital ofneighboring Nangarhar province. The trafficker found them anyway and demandedhis opium. So Shah took his case before a tribal council in Laghman and beggedfor leniency. Instead, the elders unanimously ruled that Shah would have toreimburse the trafficker by giving Khalida to him in marriage. Now the familycan only wait for the 45-year-olddrugrunner to come back for his prize. Khalidawanted to be a teacher someday, but that has become impossible. "It´s myfate," the child says.
Afhans disparaginglycall them "loan brides"--daughters given in marriage by fathers whohave no other way out of debt. The practice began with the dowry a bridegroom´sfamily traditionally pays to the bride´s father in tribal Pashtun society.These days the amount ranges from$3,000 or so in poorer places like Laghman andNangarhar to $8,000 or more in Helmand, Afghanistan´s No.1 opium-growingprovince. For a desperate farmer, that bride price can be salvation--but at a cruelcost. Among the Pashtun, debt marriage puts a lasting stain on the honor of thebride and her family. It brings shame on the country, too. President HamidKarzai recently told the nation: "I call on the people [not to] give theirdaughters for money; they shouldn´t give them to old men, and they shouldn´tgive them in forced marriages."
All the same, localfarmers say a man can get killed for failing to repay a loan. No one knows howmany debt weddings take place in Afghanistan, where 93 percent of the world´sheroin and other opiates originate. But Afghans say the number of loan brideskeeps rising as poppy-eradication efforts push more farmers into default."This will be our darkest year since 2000," says Baz Mohammad,65, awhite-bearded former opium farmer in Nangarhar. "Even more daughters willbe sold this year."The old man lives with the anguish of selling his own13-year-old daughter in 2000, after Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar bannedpoppy growing. "Lenders never show any mercy," the old man says.Local farmers say more than one debtor has been bound hand and foot. thenlocked into a small windowless room with a smoldering fire. slowly choking todeath.
Efforts to promoteother crops have failed. Wheat or corn brings $250 an acre at best, while poppygrowers can expect 10 times that much. Besides. poppies are more dependable:hardier than either wheat or corn and more tolerant of drought and extreme heatand cold. And in a country with practically no government-funded credit forsmall farmers, opium growers can easily get advances on their crops. Theborrower merely agrees to repay the cash with so many kilos of opium, at aprice stipulated by the lender--often 40 percent or more below market value.Islam forbids charging interest on a loan, but moneylenders in poppy countryelude the ban by packaging the deal as a crop-futures transaction--and nevermind that the rate of return is tantamount to usury.

根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题
Scientists havelong argued whether hypocrisy is driven by emotion or by reason. In other moraljudgments, brain imaging shows, regions involved in feeling, not thinking,rule. The role of emotion in moral judgments has overturned the Enlightenmentnotion that our ethical sense is based on high-minded philosophy and cognition.That brings us to hypocrisy, which is almost ridiculously easy to bring out inpeople.
In a new study,psychologist David De Steno instructed 94 people to assign themselves and astranger of two tasks: an easy one or a hard one. Then everyone was asked, howfairly did you act? Next they watched someone else make the assignments, andjudged that person´s ethics. Selflessness was a virtual no-show: 87 Out of 94people opted forth easy task and gave the next guy the difficult one.Hypocrisy, however, showed up with bells on: every single person who made theselfish choice judged his own behavior less strictly--on average,4.5 vs3.1--than that of someone else who grabbed the easy task for himself.
The gap suggests howhypocrisy is possible. When we judge our own misbehaviors less harshly, DeSteno said, it may be because "we have this automatic, gut-level instinctto preserve our self-image. In our heart, maybe we´re just not as sensitive toour own immoral behaviors. People have learned that it pays to seem moral sinceit lets you avoid criticism and guilt. But even better is appearing moralwithout having to pay the cost of actually being moral-such as assigningyourself the tough job."
To test the role ofcognition in hypocrisy, De Steno had volunteers again assign themselves an easytask and a stranger a difficult one. But before judging the fairness of theiractions, they had to memorize seven numbers. This tactic keeps the brain´sthinking regions too tied up to think much about anything else, and it worked:hypocrisy vanished. People judged their own (selfish) behavior as harshly asthey did others´, strong evidence that moral hypocrisy requires a high-ordercognitive process. When the thinking part of the brain is otherwise engaged,we´re left with gut-level reactions, and we intuitively and equally condemn badbehavior by ourselves as well as others.
If our gut knowswhen we have erred and judges our misbehaviors harshly, moral hypocrisy mightnot be as inevitable as if it were the child of emotions and instincts, whichare tougher to change than thinking. "Since it´s a cognitive process, wehave volitional control over it," argues De Steno. The way to changehearts and minds is to focus on the former: appealing to our better angels inthe brain´s emotion areas, and tell circuits that are going through cognitivedistortions to excuse ourselves what we condemn in others to just shut up.
{TS} Accordingto Paragraph 1, brain imaging is proof of_______________.
A、emotional basisof moral judgments

根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题
Fread´s mostfamous pupil is Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss physician, psychiatrist, philosopherand psychologist. Selecting Jung as his favorite "son," Freudappointed him his successor. Moreover, toward the end of their seven-years,teacher-disciple relationship, Jung prophetically wrote to Freud, quoting fromNietzsche´s Thus Spake Zarathustra, "One repays a teacher badly if oneretains only a pupil."
A year later, thepupil broke off his master and eventually became one of the leading forces inthe psychoanalytic movement.
Jung sdissatisfaction with Freudian psychoanalysis arises from theoreticaldifferences with Freud concerning on the interpretation of dreams and the modelof the human psyche. According to Freud, all human behavior, including dreams,is fundamentally sexual therefore it is driven by an individual´s sexual energyor libido. Freud interpreted dreams almost exclusively in sexual terms, likingmost of them to the Oedipus or Electra complexes.
Jung disagreed withFreud´s basic premise that all human behavior is sexual driven; more thansexual imagery, Jung argued, appears in dreams. In his work, Jung asserts thatdreams include mythological images as well as sexual ones. Jung´s new ideacaused him to be banished from the psychoanalytic community for a few years.
During this time,however, he formulated his own model of the human psyche, which would becomemost important contribution to psychology and literary criticism.

1、C2、A3、D4、B5、C6、C7、A8、B9、C10、A11、B12、C13、A14、D15、C16、B17、D18、C19、A20、A21、B22、D23、D24、D25、A26、A27、B28、C29、B30、A31、C32、A33、A34、C35、B
1
考查代词的用法。本题考生容易误选成A项。A项中的men either为口语中的简略说法，等同于neither do I，均表示“我也不……”，主要用于延续前面的否定意思。C项中的as为连词，引导比较状语从句，其正确表述应为You are not so lazy as he(is)．as后面的be动词可省略，则保留下来的应该是主格he而不是宾格him。故C项不正确。
2
考查句子成分。Do you think是插入语，what在旬中作主语，故选A。
3
考查情态动词。can表示“能力，许可，可能”；might表示“许可，可能”；ought to表示“应该，可能”；will除了表示意愿，还可以表示某种倾向或习惯性动作。由语境可知，答句意为“他总是那样，过去我们讨厌，现在已经习惯了”。故D项正确。
4
考查连词。空白处需要一个并列连词，把“trips…”和“all the comforts…”这两部分连接起来，作offer的宾语。只有plus(NR，还有)符合，它其实就相当于and also，along with。句意为“‘邂逅自然之旅’提供世界上一些最美的、与世隔绝的荒野之旅，还有五星级舒适的住宿条件”。
5
考查让步状语从句。For all相当于despite或in spite of，表示“尽管，虽然”，可以用来引导让步性短语，或跟that从句。句意为“尽管约翰做出了卓越的贡献，但他还是很谦逊并乐意接受别人的建议”。however可以用来引导让步状语从句，但其后不能直接跟名词短语，如在本句中应为howevernotable his contributions are。故C项正确。
6
考查条件句。条件句可分为真实条件句和非真实条件句。A项和B项为真实条件句，D项 为省略if的虚拟条件句，而C项是so…that引导的结果状语从句。题干要求选择不是条件句的一项，故C为正确答案。
7
考查名词辨析。句意为“播报这些困境并不是反医学的一种怒气——对医学胜利的一种粗暴—而只是正视虽不是完全不负责任但却正在渐失目标的医学力量不断增长的现实”。reprisal“报复”，revenge“复仇”，retribution“报应”，rapprochements“(友好关系)恢复；和解”。A项最符合题意。
8
考查名词辨析。句意为“300亿美元看起来好像是很多，但只是全球资本市场可以吸纳的一小笔资金”。alms“救济金，施舍物”，pittance“微薄的工资，极少的报酬”，hearsay“传闻”，belongings“财产，所有物”。B项最符合题意，在此弓l申为“一点小钱”的意思。
9
考查动词短语辨析。句意为“我们需要一个决定，时间在——”。tick off“用记号勾出；责备”，tick out“发出”，tickaway“(时间一分一秒地)过去”，tick up“上涨”。根据句意，选C。
10
考查交际用语。It’s my guess“这是我的猜测”，By all means“尽一切办法，务必，一定”，of course，you can“当然，你可以的”，That depends“视情况而定”。句意为“——你怎么知道他会借给我们钱?——那是我猜的。他是一个慷慨的人。”故选A。
11
考查名词辨析和上下文理解。target“目标”，source“来源”，origin“起源”，pidgin“混杂语式，洋泾浜语”。根据后文提到的target language(目标语言)可知此处要填一个与之相对的词，且后文中出现的mother tongue or language也提示了此处填入source language(语言)最为恰当，故选B。
12
考查形容词辨析。last“最近的，上一个的，最后的”，later“后来的，以后的”，latest“最近的，最新的”，latter“后者的，后面的”。根据上文中的up—to—date knowledge可知，这里表示译者必须掌握自己专业领域的最新题材，故选C。
13
考查词义辨析。inquiring“好问的，爱探索的”，dilator“扩张器”，resourceful“机敏的，足智多谋的”，ingenious“新颖独特的，巧妙的”。修饰mind(心)，且前面用的是不定冠词an，故A项最为恰当，意为“有探索之心，爱动脑子”。
14
考查动词辨析。help“帮助”，propel“推进”，accede“加入，答应”，consult“咨询，请教”。根据上下文可知，这里是指译者一方面能独立完成工作，另一方面还愿意虚心向他人请教，弥补不足。故选D。
15
考查固定搭配。evidence“证据”，knowledge“知识”，acq......
