Passage 2
The World Cup has become the most streamed live sporting event the US has ever seen, as Americans tuned in to this year's tournament on their smart phones, tablets and computers in record numbers.
A surge of US interest in football this year has also led to record television audiences for broadcasts on ESPN and Uni-vision, the Spanish-language network. The US team's loss on Tuesday to Belgium averaged a 9.6 overnight rating on ESPN, according to Nielsen, the highest for any World Cup match the network has broadcast.
But a 50 per cent surge in live streaming compared with the previous record, set during the 2012 London Olympics, shows that the sport's appeal has grown particularly among younger, more digital, fans. Young people are energetic and fond of sporting, The World Cup is a great tournament of football, so they must be attractive. On the other hand, now the electronic devices are developing rapidly, more people have smart phones, tablets and computers. Then to watch the World Cup becomes much easier.
US viewers have so far watched nearly 30m hours of streaming video on ESPN's WoAd Cup website and apps, the network said, beating the previous record of 20.4m viewing hours during NBC's 2012 Olympics coverage. Univision has streamed 1.Sm hours since the start of the tournament.
Last week's USA vs. Germany match drew a record 1.Tm streaming viewers to ESPN at its peak, with streaming on Univision peaking at 747,000. Tuesday's USA vs. Belgium match peaked at 1.5m streams on ESPN and 680,000 on Univision.
In comparison, live streaming of January's Super Bowl peaked at l.lm.
While the elimination of the US team leaves a question mark over US fans' interest in the rest of the tournament, Univision's audience for non-US games has been robust.
Univision said its broadcast on Sunday of the Mexico vs. Netherlands match was the most-watched programme, of any kind, in US Spanish-language TV history, with an average 10.4m viewers. Its audiences have been the largest in cities with large Spanish-speaking populations, such as Miami, Los Angeles, Houston and New York.
With most matches being shown during business hours, Americans are increasingly turning to their devices, such as smart phones, tablets and computers to keep up with the tournament. Fifa,football's governing body, said US fans make up 20 percent of its global digital audience and are spending more time on its website and apps than fans in Brazil, Germany, England and France combined.
With different kind of electronic devices to watch World Cup, the number of audience becomes larger. The flood of demand caused some problems with ESPN's feeds, leading frustrated viewers to take to Twitter to complain about the match cutting out. That had also happened during the USA vs. Germany game.
What can we conclude from the first two paragraphs?

2019 翻译资格考试三级笔译实务临考冲刺试题2英译汉Winning RespectBy making it into the second round, Korea has grown up as a nation.1BY HANNAH BEECHNo matter what mom said, its never just a game. 2 Football is about ego, respect, national pride. South Korea, for one, has turned the sport into a quest for its very identity, its hopes captured in the cheer that rings through the nations World Cup stadiums ： Great Republic of Korea.3 A country often consigned to an after-thought in East Asia is out to prove that it, too, matters. 4 Last week, it did so, by gliding through to the second round with skill and flair.That singular achievement, though, was not just about Koreas arrival as a football force but as a self- confident adult nation to be taken seriously. 5Sandwiched between economic giant Japan and rising superpower China, Korea has always shouldered an inferiority complex. When the country won the right to co-host the World Cup, it saw a chance to showcase itself - particularly to Japan, its neighbor, and the U. S., its often- contentious ally.6 officials plugged Korea as Asias most wired nation, and touted the countrys capital as being as hip and caffeinated as any modern metropolis. 7 Said bleached-haired midfielder Kim Nam II on the eve of Koreas 2002 debut： We want to show we are a team - and a nation - that can compete with the best, and win.8The squad began with a historic triumph over sluggish Poland, then found itself face to face with the U.S. Koreas relations with America have long seesawed between peace and peril.9 Although America fought on the side of the South during Koreas civil war, the 37,000 U. S. troops still stationed in the country have strained relations with their hosts. 10Perhaps the most contentious issue in modern U. S. - Korea relations stems from a little-known pastime called short-track speed skating. Earlier this year at Salt Lake City, the nations top hope Kim Dong Sung was disqualified for blocking a U. S. skater. In a move that most Koreans consider fixed, the American, Apolo Anton Ohno, took the gold instead. 11 Hes since been voted the most unwelcome foreigner in a Korean poll. When Korean midfielder Ahn Jung Hwan headed the ball home in the 77th minute of the U. S. - Korea match to tie the score l-1 and keep the countrys hopes of advancement alive, his post-goal showboating gave way to the sweeping arm motions of a speed skater. 12 People felt bad about the Ohno incident, says Ahn. I wanted to fix that. 1-3 Score one for Korean pride.The nations next big test came in a do-or-die match on Friday night, when South Korea faced a star-studded side from Portugal. The Koreans needed at least a draw to guarantee advancing further in the Cup. J、ust hours before, Japan had qualified for the second round by dispensing with the hapless Tunisians. The possibility that Japan would advance whileKorea stayed behind horrified the nation. Japan, after all, has perennially looked down upon its smaller neighbor, and brutally occupied it from 1910 to 、1945.Since then, Korea feels like it has been stuck playing catch-up to the worlds second-largest economy.It neednt have fretted. In the 69th minute of the match, midfielder Park Ji Sung deftly executed one of the prettiest strikes of the Cup. As fire-works flashed overhead, more than 400,000 citize

The American Industry
A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any competitor,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the world's best,its workers the most skilled.America and Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economies the war had destroyed.
It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominance proved painful.By the mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics,had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none:Zenith was bought by South Korea's LG Electronics in July.)Foreign-made cars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market. America's machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors,which America had which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty.
All of this caused a crisis of confidence.Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted.They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America's industrial decline.Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas.
How things have changed!In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling. Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle.Self-doubt has yielded to blind pride."American industry has changed its structure,has gone on a diet,has learnt to be more quick-witted,"according to Richard Cavanagh,executive dean of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government,"It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their productivity,"says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute,a think-tank in Washington,DC.And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this period as"a golden age of business management in the United States."

A:it had made painstaking efforts towards this goal
B:its domestic market was eight times larger than before

答案：C
解析：
第一段指出，“第二次世界大战后，美国就进入了这样的一个辉煌的历史时期。它拥有比任何竞争者大八倍的市场，这使其工业经济规模前所未有。它的科学家是世上最优秀的，它的工人是技术最好的。美国及其民众的富庶是那些经济遭到战争破坏的欧洲人和亚洲人连做梦也不敢想的”。因此利用排除法，确定答案是C。
A选项错误，因为第二段中说“到1987年，美国只剩下Zenith这一家电视生产商（现在这一家也没有了：Zenith于7月被韩国LG电子公司收购）。”说明它连国内市场也保不住了。B选项错误，文中第二段最后一句提到，“有一段时间，下一个栖牲品看起来似乎该轮到美国的半导体制造业了……”，可是事实上没有。C选项中谈到的机床业已经自取灭亡的说法错误，因为文中提到机床制造业“岌岌可危”(on the ropes)，但是还没有灭亡。D选项是合适的，因为第二段第六句提到，“进口车和纺织品横扫国内市场”。
第三段提到，“所有这一切导致了信心危机。美国人不再视繁荣为理所当然之事。他们开始怀疑自己的商业经营方式出了问题，也怀疑不久他们的收入就会下降。20 世纪80年代中期人们对美国工业衰退的原因作了一次又一次的调查。那些有时耸人听闻的结果充斥着海外竞争加剧的预警”。第四段提到了90年代的经济复苏。其中的含义是：在竞争的压力下，美国人在80年代调整产业结构，美国的工业已经改变了结构，消除了滞胀，变得更机智，因此带来了90年代的经济复苏。因此，可以得出推论：激烈的竞争会导致经济的发展。另外三个选项都不合适。
在第四段，作者指出，"1995年，美国可以对过去五年的稳步发展作一回顾，而日本还在奋力挣扎。很少有美国人将这一巨变单纯归因于美元贬值或商业周期循环这些显而易见的原因。如今，对自身的怀疑已被盲目乐观所取代”。这里作者实际上对当前美国人的盲目乐观情绪进行了批评，认为20世纪90年代的增长是由美元贬值或经济周期的转机等因素造成的。选项B是“Richard Cavanagh”的看法。选项C是“Stephen Moore”的看法。选项D文中没有提及。
本题考查的是细节部分理解能力。原文是指美国工业在20世界90年代通过消除机构臃肿得到发展。选项A明显不正确。选项B是最接近原文意思的，指“美国工厂裁减多余的员工，精简机构”。选项C指“美国工业衰减”，不符合题意。选项D只是概括地说“美国工业效率提高”，并没有具体指出原因。因此本题选B。
A选项错误，因为第二段中说“到1987年，美国只剩下Zenith这一家电视生产商（现在这一家也没有了：Zenith于7月被韩国LG电子公司收购）。”说明它连国内市场也保不住了。B选项错误，文中第二段最后一句提到，“有一段时间，下一个栖牲品看起来似乎该轮到美国的半导体制造业了……”，可是事实上没有。C选项中谈到的机床业已经自取灭亡的说法错误，因为文中提到机床制造业“岌岌可危”(on the ropes)，但是还没有灭亡。D选项是合适的，因为第二段第六句提到，“进口车和纺织品横扫国内市场”。
第三段提到，“所有这一切导致了信心危机。美国人不再视繁荣为理所当然之事。他们开始怀疑自己的商业经营方式出了问题，也怀疑不久他们的收入就会下降。20 世纪80年代中期人们对美国工业衰退的原因作了一次又一次的调查。那些有时耸人听闻的结果充斥着海外竞争加剧的预警”。第四段提到了90年代的经济复苏。其中的含义是：在竞争的压力下，美国人在80年代调整产业结构，美国的工业已经改变了结构，消除了滞胀，变得更机智，因此带来了90年代的经济复苏。因此，可以得出推论：激烈的竞争会导致经济的发展。另外三个选项都不合适。
在第四段，作者指出，"1995年，美国可以对过去五年的稳步发展作一回顾，而日本还在奋力挣扎。很少有美国人将这一巨变单纯归因于美元贬值或商业周期循环这些显而易见的原因。如今，对自身的怀疑已被盲目乐观所取代”。这里作者实际上对当前美国人的盲目乐观情绪进行了批评，认为20世纪90年代的增长是由美元贬值或经济周期的转机等因素造成的。选项B是“Richard Cavanagh”的看法。选项C是“Stephen Moore”的看法。选项D文中没有提及。
本题考查的是细节部分理解能力。原文是指美国工业在20世界90年代通过消除机构臃肿得到发展。选项A明显不正确。选项B是最接近原文意思的，指“美国工厂裁减多余的员工，精简机构”。选项C指“美国工业衰减”，不符合题意。选项D只是概括地说“美国工业效率提高”，并没有具体指出原因。因此本题选B。

单选题According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A
McDonald’s was founded in 1948.B
McDonald’s has opened its restaurants in every city of the world.C
McDonald’s has over 30,000 locations in the world now.D
McDonald’s was very small in scale in the beginning.正确答案：D解析：文章首段提到“Since its founding in 1948”，麦当劳成立于1948年，故A项正确；由“McDonald’s has grown from a family burger (汉堡包) stand to a global fast-food chain, with more than 30,000 locations in 118 countries.”可知，麦当劳起初规模很小，而现在全球3万多个城市都有麦当劳的分店，故C、D两项正确。B项“麦当劳在全世界每个城市都有分店”过于绝对，首段只提到其在118个国家有分店。故本题选B。

Tightened Visa RegulationsAccording to South Korea's new visa regulations,native speakers of English in South Korea will be required to undergo criminal record checks,medical and drug tests,provide sealed academic transcripts（成绩单）and have their university diplomas inspected,The Korea Times has reported.The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17,000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers.The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing（居住）outside South Korea will have to have an interview at a South Korean Embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada,Australia or the US,this is an additional travel burden .Meanwhile,foreign teachers currently living in South Korea must leave the country after their one-year contracts and renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation（文件证据）.The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers .A report from the South Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development shows between 2001 and August of this year,1,481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged（伪造的）degrees , visa violations and general lawbreak-ing.But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South Korea's English language education sector. According to Michael Duffy,manager of a teacher placement service in South Korea,applicants have to spend a few hundred dollars and several months on getting affidavits（书面陈述书）for documents. " South Korea has put up too many hoops（圈）to jump through,"he said,adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere.Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in South Korea will be worth the burden of the paper work and increasing restrictions."I don't think(South)Korea has thought this through."Said Scott Mclnnis,a Canadian teacher based in Incheon near Seoul."This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the EFL community."As part of the efforts to ease the discontent（不满）,the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary docu- ments. The list of crimes many foreign language teachers committed between 2001 and August of this year did NOT include______.A: visa violationsB: forged degreesC: subversive activitiesD: general lawbreaking答案：C解析：细节题。第一段中“According to...to undergo criminal record checks , medical and drug tests , provide sealed academic transcripts...”可知，B、C、D三项内容都提到了，并未说要通过韩语考试。因此A项正确。细节题。第二段中“Meanwhile , foreign teachers...without additional documentation." 可知，在新规定实施前，外国教师该怎么做，因此C项正确。细节题。根据第三段"... including forged degrees , visa violations and general lawbreaking.”可知其中并未包括subversive activities。因此C项正确。细节题。根据第三段“The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers.”可知这项政策的目的。因此B项正确。主旨大意题。根据整篇文章大意可知，与文章有关的只有D项，其余三项均与文章无关联。因此D项正确。

What Makes a Soccer Player Great?Soccer is played by millions of people all over the world,but there have only been few play-ers who were truly great.How did these players get that way—was it through training and prac- tice,or are great players“born,not made”?First,these players came from places that have had famous stars in the past-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate.In the history of soccer,only six countries have ever won the World Cup-three from South America and three from western Europe .There has never been a great national team-or a really great player-from North America or from Asia.Second,these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player,as was Pele.Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four.Finally,many great players come from the same kind of neighborhood—a poor,crowded area where a boy's dream is not to be a doctor,lawyer,or businessman,but to become a rich,famous athlete or entertainer. For example,Liverpool,which produced the Beetles,had one of the bestEnglish soccer teams in recent years.Pele practiced in the street with a“ball”made of rags.And George Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums of Belfast.All great players have a lot in common,but that doesn't explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets,but only one became Pele.The greatest play-ers are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others. According to the author,which of the following statements is true?A: Great soccer players are born,not made.B: Truly great players are rare.C: Only six countries have ever had famous soccer stars.D: Soccer is the least popular sport in North America and Asia.答案：B解析：Truly great players are rare：真正棒的球员是很少的。答案在文章的第一句：全世界有许许多多人踢足球，可是踢得真正棒的球员只是极少数人。 skills：技巧。tricks出现在第二段的最后一个句子中。根据句子的意思，该词表达的是“技巧”的意思。该题是考查根据上下文猜词的能力。 many geat soccer players come from poor areas：许多很棒的足球球员都来自贫困地区。第二段的第一个句子说到，许多很棒的球员都来自同一种聚居区——一种贫困的、拥挤的……地区。 the greatest players are born with some unique quality：最棒的球员的某种独特的素质是与生俱来的。这个子句引自文章的最后一个句子“The great players are born with some unique quality that sets them apart from all the others”。 his height：身高。“身高”在文章中没有提到。

问答题Passage 4 One of the world’s most isolated states, North Korea was hoping to become a member of a very exclusive club. If North Korea’s attempt to put an object into orbit had succeeded, then this impoverished country, hidden behind one of the last Cold War frontiers, would have joined the handful of countries with the independent capability to launch their own satellites. North Korea gave prior warning of the launch and said all along that it was using it as part of the peaceful pursuit of a space programme, as is its right under international law. It has, as was to be expected, already claimed that its satellite is safely in orbit. Yet there may be mocking sniggers. The US military says the satellite failed to make orbit, splashing down instead in the Pacific Ocean. But for the US—and North Korea’s regional neighbours—the success or failure of the satellite was simply not the issue. Their concern about the launch has kept their spy agencies scrutinising North Korea’s east- coast rocket base for months. Navy vessels from the US, Japan and South Korea, deployed off the North Korean coast and equipped with sophisticated radar and anti-missile weaponry, will have monitored the rocket as it passed overhead. The concern was two-fold. That the launch might go wrong in a way that threatened Japanese territory, and that this was an illegal act designed primarily to enhance North Korea’s missile capability. As a general rule, any launch vehicle designed to put a satellite into orbit could also be used as a long distance delivery system for a warhead. In North Korea’s case, the technology is thought to be almost identical. What is believed to be a version of the same rocket was launched in July 2006, without warning, but on that occasion, North Korea admitted afterwards that it had been a straightforward missile test. And some observers question why a country that struggles even to feed its own people would try to develop its own independent space programme. If it really wanted a communications satellite, they argue, a far cheaper option would be to pay someone else, perhaps their Chinese allies, to do it for them. Despite the enormous investment—some estimates suggest that a single launch costs North Korea at least $ 30m (20m)—the level of technological achievement is akin to that reached by the US and the Soviet Union decades ago. The conclusion drawn by much of the international community is that the satellite is simply a fig leaf for the real purpose, the development of the launch vehicle itself which is, no more and no less, a long-range missile. North Korea is forbidden from pursuing this kind of technology by a UN resolution, passed after the 2006 missile test. So its opponents claim the satellite launch is in breach of this resolution, hence the strong international condemnation. Many analysts believe that North Korea would use proof of a successful satellite launch for a number of purposes. Firstly as a kind of shop window for its military prowess, allowing it to boost sales of its rocket technology to other countries, again, in defiance of UN sanctions. But the real advantage is the raising of its threat level, which it will seek to exploit in international negotiations. The rocket used in this latest launch could, in theory at least, be adapted to travel as far as the western United States, albeit carrying a very small payload. Professor Andrei Lankov, from Seoul’s Kookmin University, is in no doubt that this is Pyongyang’ s real motivation. “Honestly, without its nuclear and missile programmes North Korea would look like an absolutely run-of-the-mill third-world dictatorship, although an unusually nasty, unusually brutal and exceptionally inefficient one.” “The main reason why the news about North Korea can sometimes be found on the front pages of the worldwide press is because of their nukes and their missiles, without which nobody would even care about them.” But regardless of North Korea’s true intention there is some debate about the legal position. Daniel Pinkston, a Seoul-based senior analyst with the Brussels-based International Crisi Group, believes it is not as clear cut as Washington suggests. “Compelling arguments can be made that this is a clear violation of UN resolutions,” he said. “Nevertheless, all states do have the sovereign right to the peaceful exploration of outer space. So it comes down to something that cannot really be resolved legally, it comes down to a political decision.” And that’s where the difficulty might lie. The UN Security Council meets later to decide a response. But a veto-wielding China, one of North Korea’s oldest allies, might be keen to soften any proposed punishment. 1. Is this latest rocket launch by North Korea successful? 2. Why have the US, South Korea and Japan been so scared about North Korea’s rocket launch? 3. According to the western world, what is the launch indeed? 4. Is this rocket launch by North Korea legal or not according to the international community Why?正确答案：【参考答案】 1. North Korea has claimed the launch successful and that its satellite is safely in orbit. /But the US military says the satellite failed to make orbit, splashing down instead in the Pacific Ocean. 2. They worry the launch might go wrong in a way that threatened Japanese territory. / This was an illegal act designed primarily to enhance North Korea’s missile capability 3. The satellite is simply a fig leaf for the real purpose, the development of the launch vehicle itself which is a long-range missile. 4. It would be illegal if the launch vehicle itself is a long-range missile because North Korea is forbidden from pursuing this kind of technology by a UN resolution, passed after the 2006 missile test. /Nevertheless, it is legal if the launch is really for peaceful pursuit of a space programme. /All states do have the sovereign right to the peaceful exploration of outer space.解析：暂无解析

问答题Modern means of transportation, telecommunication and mass media have shortened the geographical distance of the world. The international community appears to be no more than a global village, in which people of different nations engage themselves in cultural exchange, while seeking common development in harmonious and respectful relationship. I think different cultures should learn from each other’s strengths to offset their own weaknesses. However, we also have to understand that cultural exchange is by no means a process of losing one’s own culture to a foreign one, but a process of enriching each other’s national cultures. Of course, the culture of a nation must withhold its own distinctive national characteristics in its extensive exchange with other cultures, and make contributions to the development of human civilization.正确答案：现代话的交通、电信与大众传媒手段使世界变的越来越小,国际社会如同一个地球村,居住在地球村里的各国人民在文化交流中彼此尊重、共求发展。我认为,不同的文化应该相互学习,取长补短。我们必须清醒地认识到,文化交流不是让外来文化吞灭自己的文化,而是为了丰富各民族的文化。当然,在广泛的文化交流中,一个民族的文化必须保持本民族的鲜明特色,必须对人类文明的发展做出贡献。解析：暂无解析
