【基础口译听力部分整体评析】

今年基口听力上午的考试难度整体不大，考完的同学应该松了一口气吧，Spot Dictation虽有略微难度，,但好在Statements和short conversations都比较容易拿分，句子段落翻译大多也都出自听力官方教程。总的来说，熟悉教程的同学有福咯，得分应该是妥妥的啦！

Spot Dictation：

本次考试Spot dictation原文来自VOA Special English Agricultural Report，世界自然基金会关于地球环境和物种面临危险的报道。【上海基础口译培训】本文主旨比较明确，但由于文中有不少生难单词，可能在理解上给大家添了不少麻烦。其次，在填写答案的过程中很多同学因为不注意检查，导致在单复数以及时态上会有一定的失分。最后，此次填三个词空格明显增多，很有可能会有漏写单词的情况出现。因此，做题千万不能马虎，不能眼高手低哦。

近年来，基础口译考试的Spot Dictation材料大多取自VOA Special English，而把农业类的文章定位考题这也不是第一次了，这也是在上听力课时包括复习指导时一直反复强调的关键点，告诫同学们有时间一定要多多“接触”VOA。VOA Special English题材较广，通过一定量的积累可以帮助同学们扩大词汇量，开阔视野，培养语感。关于听力练习的有效方法，同学们不妨试试把精听与泛听相结合，时间长了，相信听力定会有较大的提升。

Statements :

本次statements的难度不大，如第6题，第8题，第9题都属于“送分”题，在平时的练习中都有做过。其实，选择题的难度和考点基本每年都是接近的，真的是“万变不离其宗”。也许，做完题后你会有种非常亲切的感觉，那就对了！

Short Conversations :

本次短对话难度也不大，如第12题和第16题比较典型大多同学应该不会失分。平时在做听力教程的过程中，有听不懂不会的生僻词应及时记下，多看多背，以“不变应万变”沉着冷静地来应对考试，这才是王道。

Sentence Translation :

关于翻译最主要的就是听关键词，根据关键词来进行句意的理解与整合。在本次考试中出现了很多同学们都非常熟悉的单词如第二句中的violence（暴力）和crime（犯罪），都是昂立老师在课堂上强调多重点多词汇，又如第三句中的convenience是大家比较熟悉对词汇，第四、第五句属于生活娱乐类的，比较贴近大家生活，同学们应该能理解。

Passage Translation :

本次三段段落听译都来自于基础口译听力教程和课堂讲义中，第一段是来自讲义Lecture7 Spot Dictation的第三段，第二段来自听力教程Unit 14 段落翻译第一段，第三段来自听力教程Unit9 段落翻译第三段。因此，本次的听力考试再次向各位考生证明了一定要在考试前做熟教程啊！

PART A Spot Dictation

The World Wildlife Fund says more than half of the world's wildlife population has been lost. The conservation group says this has placed the health of the planet 1.at risk.

The WWF recently released its 10th Flagship Living Planet Report. The group warns the condition of the world's animals is 2.worse than its earlier reports showed. It says worldwide action is needed.

The WWF says it is 3.worried about the loss of and damage to Earth's environment. The report 4.provides information about more than 10,000 animal populations from 1970 to 2010. These populations are called "vertebrate species," or animals with 5.backbones -- like fish, birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles.

The report says these populations have dropped by 52 percent in just 40 years. It says freshwater species have fallen by 76 percent. That is almost 6.twice the loss of land and ocean species. Most of these losses are in the tropics. The report says the biggest drop has been in Latin America.

Marco Lambertini is the WWF's International Director-General. He spoke to VOA about the report.

"This is about losing 7.natural habitats. This is about converting forests, 8.grasslands, and wetlands into agriculture mainly, and it is about unsustainable use of wildlife. So, wildlife traffic, hunting, and unsustainable hunting practices like that. Poaching, as you mention, has been actually increasing over the last 10 years and is definitely a 9.driving force for extinction, particularly of large species. But, also as you mention, there are dimensions to poaching that are 10.related to timber, illegal logging and also fisheries."

The report also notes what it calls the world's "11.Ecological Footprint." That is the effect of 12.human activities on the planet. Mr. Lambertini says there has been an 13.increase in carbon dioxide gases and the 14.pouring of nitrogen into oceans and rivers from fertilizers used in 15. agriculture. He says this cannot continue.

"So, we are consuming on average every year about the equivalent of about 1.5, one-and-a half times the resources 16. available to the planet. That means we are cutting trees more quickly than they can be 17. restored. We are fishing the oceans more quickly than fishing stocks can 18.reproduce, and we are emitting in the atmosphere more CO2 than the natural systems can actually absorb. This is clearly not sustainable."

Mr. Lambertini warns climate change affects almost everyone on the planet. He says whole species may 19. disappear if the world does not 20.reduce the effects of humans on the climate.

参考译文：

世界自然基金会称全世界失去了一半以上的野生物，该自然保护组织称这使得地球的健康面临风险。

世界自然基金会最近发布了第10份《地球生命力报告》，该组织警告，全世界的动物现状比之前报告表明的更糟糕，需在全球范围内采取行动。

世界自然基金会称很担心这给地球环境带来的损失和破坏，该报告提供了从1970年到2010年期间一万多种动物种群的信息，这些种群被称为“脊椎动物物种”，即有脊椎的动物，比如鱼、鸟、哺乳动物、两栖动物和爬行动物。

这份报告称这些动物的种群数量在40年间减少了52%，称淡水物种减少了76%，这几乎是陆地和海洋物种损失的两倍。大多数损失发生在热带地区，该报告称损失最大的是拉美。

马可·蓝波提尼是世界自然基金会的国际总干事，他向美国之音介绍了这份报告。

“报告涉及天然栖息地的损失，有关将森林、草地和湿地转化为农业用地，以及不可持续地利用野生物，也就是野生物走私、狩猎和不可持续的打猎行为。正如你提到的那样，过去10年间盗猎事件增多，这是导致物种灭绝，尤其是大型物种灭绝的关键原因。但是也正如你提到的那样，还存在非法砍伐和非法捕鱼行为。”

这份报告还提到所谓全世界的“生态足迹”，也就是人类活动对地球的影响。蓝波提尼说农业化肥的二氧化碳气体排放量、流入海洋和河流的氮元素都在增多。他说不能再这样下去了。

“所以，我们平均每年要消耗掉相当于地球可提供资源的1.5倍，这意味着我们砍伐树木的速度超过树木恢复的速度，我们捕鱼的速度超过鱼群繁殖的速度，我们向大气排放二氧化碳的速度超过自然界能吸收的二氧化碳的量，这显然是不可持续的。”

蓝波提尼警告称气候变化能影响地球上几乎每个人，他说如果全世界不减少人类对气候的影响，那么各种物种都可能会消失。

本文选自2014年10月27日的VOA 慢速英语，世界自然基金会关于地球环境和物种面临危险的报道。

II. Passage Translation

1. One of the best ways to improve a child’s confidence is to allow him the opportunity to learn and develop new skills. Swimming is a skill that can instill a sense of confidence in children. Once the child starts to see the improvement in his swimming abilities, it will enable him to feel good about his accomplishments; even he does not consciously realize the boost in self-esteem.

参考译文：

最好的一种增进孩子自信的方法是让他有机会学习和培养新的技能。游泳就是一项能逐渐引发孩子自信的技能。一旦孩子开始看到自己游泳技能的提升，他就会因成就而感觉很好，即使他不会明显意识到自我价值的提升。

【解析】这段话是基础听力教程Spot dictation的截取，第一句没有困难单词，中心词是“confidence”.第二句，“instill”为徐徐缓慢之意，这对于有些学生可能听不出来，失分影响不大， a sense of confidence是“自信感”的固定表达，考察学生的英语知识积累。第三句为once引导的条件句，重点单词有accomplishment, consciously, self-esteem，如果都听出来了，把握句型之后得分就很容易了。

（基础听力教程 Unit11，Section2部分，part A的 spot dictation第三段）

2. It is reported people with simple names enjoy quicker career advancement, because hard-to-pronounce names inspire negative reactions from superiors. Researchers found that a “name pronunciation effect” played a major role in how people were perceived by colleagues and friends. People with simple names were generally judged more positively.

参考译文：

据报告名字简单的人更容升职，因为难读的名字会令上司反感。研究人员发现，“姓名都因效应”很大程度上影响着同事和朋友对你的印象。人们对名字简单的人普遍持有更正面的看法。

【解析】本段内容难读偏小，第一句单词inspire，negative reactions，superiors这些小词十分注重学生日常单词的积累。第二句“name pronunciation effect”专有名词翻译到位很重要，play a role, perceive算是理解本句的基本信息点。第三句就没有什么难读了。

（基础听力教程Unit14，Section2，part C passage transition第1个）

3. One of the easiest ways by far to save money are just about anything, is to shop second-hand. Shopping for previously used items is not only cheaper than buying new; also it helps to reduce consumption of new goods. It reduces the amount of garbage into waste stream as well, when we reuse and repurpose things.

参考译文：

目前最简单的一种省钱方法是买二手货。购买已经用过多的东西不仅比买新的东西便宜，买二手货也有助于减少新商品的消耗。当我们重新利用就东西或帮他们找到新用途时，也减少了废弃的垃圾的数量。

【解析】本段不难理解，主要是语序的组织。第一句by far容易忽略，第二句previously，items，consumption单词需要理解，还有not only …but also…句型的把控。第三句waste stream，reuse and repurpose单词的理解，学生在短时间内将句子语序调整好简单化就可以了。
