2010春季中級口譯考試聽力Spot Dictation答案+原文+點評

　　因特網(wǎng)作為主題已經(jīng)不是一次兩次了，本文講其比喻成信息高速公路，介紹了它的各種用途，并沒有涉及尖端高新技術(shù)，甚至顯得有些老舊，很有可能是數(shù)十年前的文章。作為科技文體， 上下文并無故事性可言，若在語段理解中出現(xiàn)，考生一不留神就會忽略考點。幸好作為第一大題，只需集中精力填寫空格即可。

　　較難拼寫的單詞有：

　　ever-increasing 不斷增長的

　　information superhighway 信息高速公路

　　analogies to 類比

　　Interstate system 州際系統(tǒng)

　　subscribe 訂購

　　bulletin boards 公告板

　　navigate 導(dǎo)航

　　intricate link structure 錯綜復(fù)雜的鏈接構(gòu)造

　　雖說難詞不多，但我們不能忽略了虛詞。中口Spot部分的評分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)跟高口略有不同：高口每個實詞0.5分，虛詞2至3個加在一起0.5分;中口虛詞的分值要高一些，一般都會占到0.5分一個。若小看了虛詞，積少成多到最后扣的就不是小分了。我們課堂上反復(fù)強調(diào)的常見字筆記方式，如果考生能夠熟練掌握的話，定能在“and, to, of, in, some, the”等詞上節(jié)省時間，投入較長實詞的填寫中。

　　附原文：

　　The internet is an excellent source for finding many types of information and for keeping up with new developments in the world. Today, an ever-increasing number of people are using the Internet to dig up related information, conduct business or personal activities, access electronic data basis, send email and network with relatives, colleagues or friends. Frequently referred to as the information superhighway, the Internet is actually a network of computer networks. You may think of the Internet as analogies to the Interstate highway system. Just as the Interstate system connects to you different cities via many different routes, the Internet connects computers around the world via a number of different electronic pathways. At the most basic level, a computer, a modem and the right type of software can a person onto the Internet. Through the Internet, you can access massive amounts of information by accessing computers that are linked together. Generally speaking, two types of information available on the Internet are the most useful for people. That is conversational resources and reference resources. Conversational resources allow users to have conversations with individuals anywhere in the world. Mailing lists and news groups are the primary types of conversational resources. Mailing lists include electronic mail whereby the user can read messages, send to any other individual or group of individuals who have subscribed by having their names and electronic mail address placed on the sender’s list of addresses. News groups are essentially electronic bulletin boards. Anyone with Internet access can post an article to the board, and anyone with Internet access can read the board. The reference resources you most frequently encounter are the worldwide web---www, or the web for short. The web uses HTML---hyper texted markup language to transfer text, sound, graphics and video. Of course, you need browsers to view documents, and navigate through the intricate link structure. The most popular and well known browser is Microsoft Internet Explorer.
