本篇文章围绕债券展开。首段通过举例指出了国债的好处。但即使有好处，对于初次购买债券的投资者来说，还是会有两个问题困扰着他们。第一个问题为是否必须在到期日前都持有债券？那答案其实是否定的，并且作者通过正反两个例子指出了债券价值通常与当下市场利率成相反的波动趋势，因为投资债券其实也存在风险，那这也就带来了第二个问题：如何评定风险。作者在文末指出其实债券的市场风险越大，利率也越大。投资者只有在潜在回报非常高的前提下才会投资风险很大的债券。

【点评】

我们知道瑞典是一个男女平等意识非常强的国家，这篇文章对这种平等政策带来的问题，展开了讨论。

瑞典特殊的政治配额制度让女性在政坛占据一定的位置，但是在职场上，瑞典高职位女性的数量却少于美国。而原因在于瑞典16个月的带薪产假及允许兼职的政策，会造成女性的职业生涯出现一段停滞期。也正是这样的原因，让很多企业在雇佣全职女性员工的时候，保持谨慎。

尽管有这样的问题存在，瑞典仍是全球最具活力和创新力的经济体之一，民众的幸福指数非常高。瑞典在消除性别歧视上做了很多努力，但是歧视依然是存在的。面对这种情况，瑞典的立法机构也在采取一系列的措施。

作者提出，不希望瑞典通过以下的方式解决问题，比如禁用具有性别意义的称呼，加强女性在政坛配额，以及把女性对家庭的依恋也当做是一种性别歧视，因为实际上，大多数的妈妈不想成为精英，而瑞典现行的政策给了她们过自己想过的生活的机会。

文章的思路还是比较清晰的，选项的信号词也比较明显，比较容易定位，整体难度不大。

57. C. It does not have as long a history.

58. A. It brings texters closer to each other.

【点评】

这是一篇关于手机短信的议论文。改编自Time的一篇题为Is Texting Killing the English Language?的文章。文章提到手机短信因文字缩写、话语庸俗而受到批评。作者则认为短信更接近于一种“口”语，并随着时间的推移而变得更加丰富多彩。作者接着对文字和话语进行了历史的展望，话语先于文字产生。手机短信作为一种新的说话方式出现，形成了自己的语法和规则。作者以LOL，meat和silly为例，指出话语的含义会随时间推移产生变化。作者认为短信不会破坏人们的写作技能，而是口头交流的一种新形式。

文章本身话题和语言难度不高，题目设置也比较简单，通过关键词定位到相应段落和句子，结合选项排除法还是比较容易选出正确答案的。

61 B. She worked her way to success in the entertainment industry.

62 B. She was known as a supporter of fake science.

65 D. Pursuit of knowledge and truth.

【点评】

本文来自Time上一篇文章，题为“Viewpoint: Oprah as Harvard's Commencement Speaker Is an Endorsement of Phony Science”。文章从作者反对哈佛大学授予奥普拉•温弗瑞荣誉法律博士及作为毕业典礼演讲者展开，剖析现在美国大学的一些弊端。虽然荣誉学位会授予给一些非专业的领导者，但是奥普拉并不适合，她崇尚伪科学，与哈佛大学的座右铭——真理相悖。进而引出现在很多美国大学过于注重公共关系和品牌形象，忽略了追求知识的保护。随着美国研究型大学开始仿照盈利机构和娱乐中心的做法，他们很容易忽视大学的主要使命，即产生和传播知识。其实就是在呼吁美国著名大学，如哈佛大学，应该集中精力在追求知识和真理上。

文章有一定难度，涉及一些难词难句。题目考查细节题和推理题，需准确把握定位句的意思。

试卷一翻译：
北京计划未来三年投资7600亿元治理污染，从减少pm2.5排放入手。这一新公布的计划旨在减少四种主要污染源，包括500万辆机动车的尾气排放、周边地区燃煤、来自北方的沙尘暴和本地的建筑灰尘，另外850亿元用于新建或升级城市垃圾处理和污水处理设施，加上300亿元投资未来三年的植树造林。
市政府还计划建造一批水循环利用工厂，并制止违章建筑，以改善环境。另外，北京还将更严厉地处罚违反减排规定的行为。

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.

试卷二翻译：
中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化，有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。例如，土豪和大妈都是老词，但已获取了新的意义。

土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主，现在用于指花钱如流水或喜欢炫耀财富的人， 也就是说，土豪有钱，但是没有品位。大妈是对中年妇女的称呼，但是现在特指不久前金价大跌时大量购买黄金的中国妇女。

土豪和大妈可能会被收入新版的牛津（OXford）英语词典，至今约有120中文加进了牛津英语词典，成了英语语言的一部分。

【点评】

本篇翻译内容为“热词”反映社会现象，可见汉译英的选材范围包括中国文化、社会、经济、政治、科技等等各个方面，在备考时要注重全面，而且要注重平时的积累。相信对社会热点有所关注的话都能够准确理解原文内容，但是其中一些俗语的表达，比如“花钱如流水”等，要学会“意译”，表达出词语内涵而不是字对字翻译。

【参考译文】

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.

试卷三翻译：
最近中国科学院（Chinese Academy of Sciences ）出版了关于其最新科学发现与未来一年展望的年度系列报告。系列报告包括三部分：科学发展报告，高技术发展报告，中国可持续战略报告。第一份报告包含中国科学家的最新发现，诸如新粒子研究与H7N9病毒研究的突破。该报告还突出强调了未来几年需要关注的问题。第二份报告公布了一些应用科学研究的热门领域，如3D打印和人造器官研究。第三份报告呼吁加强顶层设计，以消除工业升级中的结构性障碍，并促进节能减排。

译文：

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.

【点评】

本篇翻译主要内容为科技发展，可见汉译英的选材范围包括中国文化、社会、经济、政治、科技等等各个方面，在备考时要注重全面。翻译本文要求对科技方面的基础词汇有一定的掌握，所以日常词汇的积累要注意涉及各方面的话题。此类翻译在句子结构上不需要追求华丽，保证意思完整、译文通顺即可。

试卷一作文：
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.

题解：“根据所见、所闻立刻得出结论是不明智的。”

本题难度中上，话题有一定的思辨性，较抽象。

文章可采取三段式。首段简单阐述自己的论点。主体部分可以进一步阐释，并结合例子进行论证。结论部分再次强调自己的论点，提出根据所见、所闻立刻得出结论可能是片面的。 

试卷二作文：
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.

题解：“把所有鸡蛋放在一个篮子里是不明智的。”

本题难度中上，讨论风险与机会的关系，以及减少风险的方法，较抽象。

文章可采取三段式。首段简单阐述话题含义。主体部分重点论述“把所有鸡蛋放在一个篮子里”可能带来的风险。由于话题较抽象，此处可用具体的事例论述，证明在有一定风险的情况下，人们不应该将所有的希望都集中在同一个解决方案中，而是应该有备用方案，以减少风险。结论部分重述主题。

试卷三作文：
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.

题解：“从外表来判断一个人是不明智的。”

本题难度中上，话题涉及人的品质等，较抽象。

文章可采取三段式。首段简单阐述话题含义。主体部分可以从人们外表与内在的关系、衣着装扮对人的修饰、或人在不同情况下表现出不同的性格等方面入手讨论，结合例子进行补充。结论部分重述主题，提出对人作出判断的正确方法。
