本篇文章圍繞債券展開。首段通過舉例指出了國債的好處。但即使有好處，對于初次購買債券的投資者來說，還是會有兩個問題困擾著他們。第一個問題為是否必須在到期日前都持有債券？那答案其實是否定的，并且作者通過正反兩個例子指出了債券價值通常與當下市場利率成相反的波動趨勢，因為投資債券其實也存在風險，那這也就帶來了第二個問題：如何評定風險。作者在文末指出其實債券的市場風險越大，利率也越大。投資者只有在潛在回報非常高的前提下才會投資風險很大的債券。?

【點評】

我們知道瑞典是一個男女平等意識非常強的國家，這篇文章對這種平等政策帶來的問題，展開了討論。

瑞典特殊的政治配額制度讓女性在政壇占據(jù)一定的位置，但是在職場上，瑞典高職位女性的數(shù)量卻少于美國。而原因在于瑞典16個月的帶薪產假及允許兼職的政策，會造成女性的職業(yè)生涯出現(xiàn)一段停滯期。也正是這樣的原因，讓很多企業(yè)在雇傭全職女性員工的時候，保持謹慎。

盡管有這樣的問題存在，瑞典仍是全球最具活力和創(chuàng)新力的經濟體之一，民眾的幸福指數(shù)非常高。瑞典在消除性別歧視上做了很多努力，但是歧視依然是存在的。面對這種情況，瑞典的立法機構也在采取一系列的措施。

作者提出，不希望瑞典通過以下的方式解決問題，比如禁用具有性別意義的稱呼，加強女性在政壇配額，以及把女性對家庭的依戀也當做是一種性別歧視，因為實際上，大多數(shù)的媽媽不想成為精英，而瑞典現(xiàn)行的政策給了她們過自己想過的生活的機會。

文章的思路還是比較清晰的，選項的信號詞也比較明顯，比較容易定位，整體難度不大。?

這是一篇關于手機短信的議論文。改編自Time的一篇題為Is Texting Killing the English Language?的文章。文章提到手機短信因文字縮寫、話語庸俗而受到批評。作者則認為短信更接近于一種“口”語，并隨著時間的推移而變得更加豐富多彩。作者接著對文字和話語進行了歷史的展望，話語先于文字產生。手機短信作為一種新的說話方式出現(xiàn)，形成了自己的語法和規(guī)則。作者以LOL，meat和silly為例，指出話語的含義會隨時間推移產生變化。作者認為短信不會破壞人們的寫作技能，而是口頭交流的一種新形式。

文章本身話題和語言難度不高，題目設置也比較簡單，通過關鍵詞定位到相應段落和句子，結合選項排除法還是比較容易選出正確答案的。

本文來自Time上一篇文章，題為“Viewpoint: Oprah as Harvard's Commencement Speaker Is an Endorsement of Phony Science”。文章從作者反對哈佛大學授予奧普拉?溫弗瑞榮譽法律博士及作為畢業(yè)典禮演講者展開，剖析現(xiàn)在美國大學的一些弊端。雖然榮譽學位會授予給一些非專業(yè)的領導者，但是奧普拉并不適合，她崇尚偽科學，與哈佛大學的座右銘——真理相悖。進而引出現(xiàn)在很多美國大學過于注重公共關系和品牌形象，忽略了追求知識的保護。隨著美國研究型大學開始仿照盈利機構和娛樂中心的做法，他們很容易忽視大學的主要使命，即產生和傳播知識。其實就是在呼吁美國著名大學，如哈佛大學，應該集中精力在追求知識和真理上。

文章有一定難度，涉及一些難詞難句。題目考查細節(jié)題和推理題，需準確把握定位句的意思。

試卷一翻譯：
北京計劃未來三年投資7600億元治理污染，從減少pm2.5排放入手。這一新公布的計劃旨在減少四種主要污染源，包括500萬輛機動車的尾氣排放、周邊地區(qū)燃煤、來自北方的沙塵暴和本地的建筑灰塵，另外850億元用于新建或升級城市垃圾處理和污水處理設施，加上300億元投資未來三年的植樹造林。
市政府還計劃建造一批水循環(huán)利用工廠，并制止違章建筑，以改善環(huán)境。另外，北京還將更嚴厲地處罰違反減排規(guī)定的行為。

In next three years, Beijing plans to invest 760 billion yuan to deal with the pollution, starting with cutting down the emission of pm 2.5. This newly announced project aims at reducing four main pollutants, including exhaust from 5 million vehicles, coal burning in surrounding areas, sandstorms from the north, and local construction dust. In addition, another 85 billion yuan will be used to establish or upgrade the facilities used to process garbage and sewage of the city. Moreover, 30 billion yuan will be invested in the afforestation program in the next three years.

試卷二翻譯：
中文熱詞通常反映社會變化和文化，有些在外國媒體上愈來愈流行。例如，土豪和大媽都是老詞，但已獲取了新的意義。

土豪以前指欺壓佃戶和仆人的鄉(xiāng)村地主，現(xiàn)在用于指花錢如流水或喜歡炫耀財富的人， 也就是說，土豪有錢，但是沒有品位。大媽是對中年婦女的稱呼，但是現(xiàn)在特指不久前金價大跌時大量購買黃金的中國婦女。

土豪和大媽可能會被收入新版的牛津（OXford）英語詞典，至今約有120中文加進了牛津英語詞典，成了英語語言的一部分。

【點評】

本篇翻譯內容為“熱詞”反映社會現(xiàn)象，可見漢譯英的選材范圍包括中國文化、社會、經濟、政治、科技等等各個方面，在備考時要注重全面，而且要注重平時的積累。相信對社會熱點有所關注的話都能夠準確理解原文內容，但是其中一些俗語的表達，比如“花錢如流水”等，要學會“意譯”，表達出詞語內涵而不是字對字翻譯。

【參考譯文】

Chinese buzzwords usually mirror changes and culture in the society, and some of them are increasingly used by foreign media. For example, though old word they are, tuhao and dama have taken on new meanings now.

The word "tuhao" originally means urban lords who bully tenants and servants, but now it refers to rich people who enjoy squandering and flaunting their fortune. In other words, tuhao has much money but little taste. Meanwhile, originally meaning middle-aged women, the word "dama" is used to refer in particular to those Chinese women who snapped up gold when the price of gold plunged not long ago.

It is likely that the two words will be included in the newest edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. Up to now, about 120 Chinese words have been listed in it and became part of the English language.

試卷三翻譯：

譯文：

Recently, Chinese Academy of Sciences released a series of annual reports about its latest scientific findings and a blueprint for next year. The reports cover three aspects: science development, high-tech development, and the sustainable development strategy of China. The first report includes the latest findings of Chinese scientists, including the research of new particles and the advancement of the H7N9 virus research. This report also emphasizes the issues which deserve our attention in the next few years. The second report announces the heated areas in applied science; for instance, 3D printing and the study of artificial organs. The third report lays emphasis on the top layer design, which can help to solve the structural problem in industrial upgrading and promote the energy-saving and emission reduction process.

本篇翻譯主要內容為科技發(fā)展，可見漢譯英的選材范圍包括中國文化、社會、經濟、政治、科技等等各個方面，在備考時要注重全面。翻譯本文要求對科技方面的基礎詞匯有一定的掌握，所以日常詞匯的積累要注意涉及各方面的話題。此類翻譯在句子結構上不需要追求華麗，保證意思完整、譯文通順即可。

試卷一作文：
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay explaining why it is unwise to jump to conclusions upon seeing or hearing something. You can give explanations to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

A famous saying goes: “Seeing is believing.” indicating that what you hear may not be reliable, while what you see can be trustworthy. This opinion, however, is still quite partial.

What we see or hear are the facts, but they might be only part of the story, therefore a quick conclusion can be reckless and lead to unnecessary misunderstandings. For example, on a metro packed with passengers, some young people are sitting while an elderly is standing. If you don’t find out the whole story, you may jump to a conclusion that these young people are so rude and indifferent that they show no love and care to the elderly. But the true story may be that these young people have invited the old man to sit down before you came, even if they are quite exhausted after a whole day’s work, while the elderly is quite refreshed after a workout and he refused to take the seat so that the young passengers can have a rest.

In conclusion, before making a judgement, it is better to get to know the situation in a comprehensive way. Only in that case, can we reduce the risks of misunderstanding to the minimum.

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay explaining why it is unwise to put all your eggs in one basket. You can give explanations to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

When making crucial decisions or important plans, it is always necessary to have a plan B. As the old saying goes, "Never put all your eggs in one basket." Having a second choice is essential to reducing the loss.

It is easy to understand that, for any plan that involves investments beforehand, one should prepare for the worst situation no matter how well it appears currently. When the profits are higher, people are also taking greater risks. For example, as the real-estate market is highly profitable nowadays, many people invest all their money into new houses and some even raise a mortgage. The possible result is that once the market cools down and the house prices go on a decrease, the investors are more likely to lose the profits as well as the capital. Admittedly, putting all the eggs in one basket maximizes the possible gaining. However, in unfavorable conditions, it also maximizes the loss.

In conclusion, it is unwise to put all your hopes into one possible solution. People should all learn the importance of avoiding risks with a plan B.

題解：“把所有雞蛋放在一個籃子里是不明智的。”

本題難度中上，討論風險與機會的關系，以及減少風險的方法，較抽象。

文章可采取三段式。首段簡單闡述話題含義。主體部分重點論述“把所有雞蛋放在一個籃子里”可能帶來的風險。由于話題較抽象，此處可用具體的事例論述，證明在有一定風險的情況下，人們不應該將所有的希望都集中在同一個解決方案中，而是應該有備用方案，以減少風險。結論部分重述主題。

試卷三作文：
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay explaining why it is unwise to judge a person by their appearance. You can give explanations to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

There are various criteria of making judgments about people, but judging a person only by their appearance is never a wise attitude. As the old saying goes, "Never judge a book by its cover." The value of a person is usually shown by what they do instead of how they look.

Firstly, the appearances of people are mostly inherited and have no direct relation to their personality and moral standards. Some tend to trust people who have "honest looks," but more often than not, they are surprised by the real people behind the masks. Besides, the way a person dresses does not necessarily reflect their morality. For instance, wearing tailored suits does not guarantee the righteousness of a businessman, while a poorly-dressed worker could be a trust-worthy friend when the neighbors need a helping hand. In addition, people show different attitude under different moods. It is unfair to judge someone as an irritable person when he or she lost temper once in a hostile environment.

In conclusion, to judge someone, a safe way is to really know him or her in person rather than simply relying on the appearance, which is superficial and sometimes even dangerous.

本題難度中上，話題涉及人的品質等，較抽象。
