翻译专业资格考试（二级口译综合能力）备考试题及答案（二） Part I 1.According to the speaker, the human community tends to have a narrow interpretation of the notion o f progress. 答案：A 解析：语义的理解和判断。录音中关于人类社会对“进步”的理解为“Society is all too committed to the notion of ‘progress’ as measured through economic growth and population expansion., all too相当于一个程度副词的作用，意为“实在太（很）”，该句话表示说话者认为社会对进步的理解太过狭隘，总是以经济发展和人口增长两项指标来衡量。接着说话者指出“人们并未仔细考虑过致力于‘可持续发展’”。由此可知，题干描述的“说话者认为人类社会对‘进步’这一概念的理解是狭隘的”符合录音中相关内容。 【录音原文】 Society is all too committed to the notion of progress as measured through economic growth and population expansion.The concept of working toward a sustainable future is not given much thought.Energy policy, for example, concentrates on expanding supply, with relatively little RD being devoted to improving the efficiency of energy use.Yet without a change in course, human activities are destined to further degrade the global environment. 2.Indias economy is expected to grow at a fast pace of 8 percent in the years to come. 答案：B 解析：录音中描述到印度今年的经济增速为8%，但最后一句指出官僚主义(bureaucracy)和政府肆意借贷(profligate government borrowing)可能会douse接下来几年的经济增长，douse意为“弄湿；急速收帆”，此处为比喻的说法，暗示接下来几年印度的经济增长可能就达不到8%了。 【录音原文】 India has more than its share of problems beyond shoddy roads and ports.This year, the economy is expected to grow about 8 percent, a rate that is catching investors attention.But bureaucracy and profligate government borrowing may douse growth in the years ahead. 3.A new idea is that researchers need to combine several drugs into a therapy so that several mutations can be treated simultaneously. 答案：B 解析：录音首句首先指出“考虑到情况的复杂性，研究者感到有必要在治疗过程中将几种药物结合使用以同时治疗几种变体”，从录音中接下来提到的“That is not, it must be said,a new idea”可知题干有误。 【录音原文】 Given the complexity of the problem, then, researchers see a need to combine several drugs into a therapy so that several mutations can be treated simultaneously.That is not, it must be said, a new idea.Combination therapies are standard for most cancers (and also for AIDS).But most existing treatments incl
