翻译专业资格考试（二级口译综合能力）备考试题及答案（三） Part I 1.Mississippi is a typical American southern state. 答案：A 解析：语义的理解和判断。录音一开始便指出“No state epitomizes the American South better than Mississippi”,epitomize意为“成为……的缩影；为……的典型表现”，可知该句话指“没有哪个州能像密西西比那样典型地代表美国南方”。然后，讲话者对该州的风土人情和气候状况进行了具体说明。由此可知，题干描述与录音原文相符。 【录音原文】 No state epitomizes the American South better than Mississippi: First-time visitors are often struck by how friendly residents are-the southern hospitality for which this part of the country is famous.Theyre also likely to be amazed (and far less pleased) at the year-round heat and humidity. 2.Recently, people have more and more confidence in the government because of its works. 答案：B 解析：该段录音首句便指出“Not fit for purpose”是一个在英国使用的非常奇怪的短语，该词组只有在极端情况下和表示绝望时使用，最近它被用来形容政府和其所有的决策，可见人们最近对英国政府感到失望，因此题干表达错误。 【录音原文】 Not fit for purpose is a curiously British phrase, hauled out only in extremism and as good a sign of despair as any.Until recently it was most often applied to the government and all its works: the Home Office, NHS (National Health Service) reform, the countrys drug policy.Now it is being hurled at Heathrow, Europes busiest airport. 3.Bremer is concerned about the violence against and the public opposition to American occupation in Iraq. 答案：B 解析：录音中描述到Bremer显得relaxed and in good humor，他广泛地谈论了美国占领的下一阶段。 【录音原文】 Bremer, appearing relaxed and in good humor, spoke in broad terms about the next phase of the U.S.occupation, a period that he predicted could bring a spike in violent attacks as well as a U.S.-nurtured public debate over the shape of the new Iraq. 4.Johnny Carsons entertaining show even had some influence on American politics. 答案：A 解析：推理判断题。录音中指出Johnny Carson坚持认为他的表演纯粹是娱乐性的，而“his monologues were carefully monitored by politicians mindful that no politician who became a frequent target of Johnny Carson could long survive in public life”，表明他的独白被政客们严密监控，因为这些政客们认为那些被Johnny Carson盯上的政客不久就会退出政坛。由此可见，题干所描述的“Johnny Carson的娱乐表演甚至对美国政治产生一定影响”与；录音原文相符。 【录音原文】 Johnny Carson insisted tha
