临*考试，要对自己的考试地点有所了解，对不熟悉的考试地点一定要亲自设计好路线，最好亲自到考点考察一番，避免由于路线不熟悉导致迟到错过考试。
考试时间也非常重要，自己要考的科目的具体时间要清楚。笔者曾经遇到这样的情况，有的考生看错了自考的通知单而错过了考试时间。所以请再次看一下自己的'考试通知单上的考试时间《查看考试时间安排情况》。
1、考生参加考试时，必须携带磁卡准考证、身份证(含军人、*人员证件，16岁以下考生使用户口薄)和考试课程座位通知单，证件不全者，不准参加考试。
2、考生进入指定考场后，必须在指定的座位上参加考试，考生坐错座位，其成绩以零分计。
3、考生必须在试卷第一页右上角已标明的两个方柜里准确填写自己的座位号，否则成绩以零分计。
4、考生必须严格遵守考试纪律。根据全国考委规定开考十五分钟后，考生不得进入考场，开考三十分钟后方准交卷出场，交卷出场后不得再进考场续考， 考生不得携带寻呼机、移动电话、商务通等进入考场。
另外，进考场以前一定好好察看自己携带的文具是否都准备齐全，钢笔圆珠笔，2B铅笔，兰黑色钢笔或者填涂用的炭素笔，计算器，仅限于修改填涂卡的修改液等等《查看考试注意事项》。
考试迫在眉睫，如何利用好最后时间段做最后的冲刺很重要。这里就要说到——考试吧有为考生制定的精讲班，大家可以进行了解。另外根据网友的建议，如果你感觉自己复*的还不是很有把握，除了冲刺课程之外，还应该对考试需要做的就是多做历年真题、模拟试题，尽快熟悉题型，这会在考试的时候起到事半功倍的作用，另外，不要太多关注自己仍然很生疏的知识，争取把掌握了的知识点运用纯熟，一方面可以给自己竖立信心，一方面也巩固了已有知识的得分率。

——公共英语二级考试试题及答案解析 (菁华3篇)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的[A]、[B]、[C]和[D]四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Text l
Almost every family buys at least one copy of a newspaper every day. Some people subscribe(订阅) to as many as two or three newspapers. But why do people read newspapers?
Five hundred years ago, news of important happenings--battles lost and won, kings or rulers overthrown (****) or killed--took months and even years to travel from one country to another. The news passed by word of mouth and was never accurate. Today we can read in our newspapers of important events that occur in far away countries on the same day they happen.
Apart from sup*ing news from all over the world, newspapers give us a lot of other useful information. There are weather reports, radios, television and film guides, book reviews, stories and, of course, advertisements. The bigger ones are put in by large companies to bring attention to their products. They pay the newspapers thousands of dollars for the advertising space, but it is worth the money, for news of their products goes into almost every home in the country. For those who produce newspapers, advertisements are also very important. Money earned from advertise- ments makes it possible for them to sell their newspapers at a low price and still make a profit.
Newspapers often have information on gardening, cooking and fashion as well as a small but very popular section on jokes and cartoons( 漫画 ).
21. What is the text about?
A. Advertisements are the most important part in newspapers.
B. It introduces newspapers past and today and its contents.
C. There is a lot of useful information on newspapers.

A. uncommon in the world
B. not popular in U. S. A.
C. widespread in the world
D. found among a few families
23. The section on jokes and cartoons is________.
A. read only by children
B. of no value
C. not helpful
D. read by many people

"New York City is not America. " That's what American friends are sure to you when you ar- rive. "You must see Boston, visit Niagara Falls, go to Virginia, fly down to Florida, and so on; but first, of course, you will want to see New York. It is not the capital city of the United States(that is Washington, D.C. , where the President lives) or even the capital city of New York State(that is Albany), but many people call it 'the greatest city on earth'."
The five parts, or boroughs, of New York City are Manhattan, Queen, Bronz, Richmond and Brooklyn. Although Manhattan is not all of New York, it is the heart of the city. It is an island, which is only about 13 miles long and 2 miles wide. From the air its shape looks like a long finger, and from the sea it's just like the picture we all know. Those tall, straight buildings--the skyscrap- ers-packed so close together on that island of rocks are sometimes seen in the distance through a veil of early morning mist. You have imagined it so often that now it's difficult to believe this beautiful sight is real, and unless your heart is as hard as a stone, excitement will lake it beat a lit- tle faster.Perhaps "greatest", "tallest", "longest", "biggest", "brightest", are words you will find most often in the city guide books.
24.How many places in America are mentioned in this passage besides New York City?
A.6.
B.4.
C.7.
D.5.
25. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Manhattan is the centre of New York City.
B. New York City is made up of five parts.
C. New York looks like a long finger from the air.
D. Manhattan is an island.
26. In the second paragraph, "excitement will make it beat a little faster" here "it" refers to________.
A. this beautiful sight
B. you
C. your heart
D. New York City

Pepys and his wife Jane had asked some friends to dinner on Sunday, September 2nd, 1666. They were up very late on the Saturday evening, getting everything ready for the next day, and while they were busy they saw the glow(微弱的光) of a fire start in the sky. By 3 o'clock on the Sunday moning, its glow had become so bright that Jane woke her husband to watch .it. Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown and went to the window to watch it. It seemed fairly far away, and after a time he went back to bed. When he got up in the morning, it looked, though the fire was dying down, as though he could still see some flames. So he set to work to tidy his room and put his things back where he wanted them.
While he was doing this, Jane came in to say that she had heard the fire was a bad one; hundreds of houses had been burned down in the night and the fire was still burning. Pepys went out to see for himself. He went to the Tower of London and climbed upon a high part of the build- ing so that he could see what was happening. From there, Pepys could see that it was, indeed, a bad fire and that even the houses on London Bridge were burning. The man of the Tower told him that the fire had started in a baker's shop in Pudding Lane(小巷) ; the baker's house had caught fire from the over-beated oven(烤箱)and then the flames had quickly spread to the other houses in the narrow lane. So the Great Fire of London, a fire that lasted nearly five days, destroyed most of the old city and ended, as it is said, at Pie Corner.
27. What is the passage about?
A. The Great Fire of London.
B. Who was the first to discover the fire.
C. What Pepys was doing during the fire.
D. The losses caused by the fire.
28.They were up very late because______.
A. it was Sunday morning
B. they were not very sleepy
C. they were preparing for the dinner
D. they saw the great fire start
29. In the sentence" Pepys slipped on his dressing-gown. "" slip on" means________.
A. to be wearing
B. to be pushing
C.to take off
D.to put on
30. Why did the flames spread quickly?
A. The oven became very hot.
B. The houses were close together.
C. The baker did nothing to stop it.
D. The baker's house was burning quickly.

听力是进行口试交流的基本方法，是口头表达能力的一个组成部分。需要依靠听力这一途径来捕捉各种信息，做出反应，达到交谈的目的。如果听力有困难，理解就有问题，表达就会出偏差，甚至还会闹笑话。
尤其在口试中，正确理解考官的问题就显得尤为重要。况且，在三级口试中，还需要听懂另一位考生的问话。所以在*时训练时，除了有选择地听一些录音带外，还要全方位地培养自己的听力能力，坚持收听英文广播如*或VOA.一时听不懂的，可以配套听一下中文节目。这样就可以进行中英文对照。另外，还可以收听、收看中央及本地电台和电视台的英语节目。这些节目的涉及面很广，有政治、经济、科技、金融、法律、教育、民族、人口等，长期收听和收看有利于扩大词汇量。
——公共英语等级考试翻译解题技巧 (菁华3篇)
所谓直译，就是在译文语言条件许可时，在译文中既保持原文的内容，又保持原文的形式。
在汉语和英语两种语言中存在着许多共同之处，在对于许多英语句子的翻译过程中，完全可以采取直译的方法，这样可以获得一举两得之功效，既保持了原文的结构，又正确表达了原文的内容。直译的焦点不在原文形式，而原文词语的字面意思，即只要按字面意义(或称表层意义)去译，不管结构形式改变与否都是直译。如既能保留字面意思，又能保存原句句式，则是典型的直译。例如：
Tom always boasts about his past.
汤姆总是吹嘘自己的过去。
They enjoy the * relationships with others at work and feel stimulated by demands and challenges of being employed.
他们喜欢在工作上和他人建立的那种**的关系，并由于工作上的要求及挑战而感到激奋。
以上两例译文都使用了直译法，即根据句子的语法结构，按照原文的内容，保持原文形式的特点，直接译出。对于那些英语和汉语的句法结构非常相*的句子，甚至完全一致的句子，都可以采用直译法。
但是，由于英汉两种语言在句法结构上或者说表达方式上存在较大差异，这种“字对字”的翻译(word-for-word translation)毕竟非常有限。直译只有在一定条件下才可进行，即“必须达意”。如果认为“只要一字一字地将原文换成汉语，就是直译”，那便曲解了直译的意思。因此，要克服对直译理解的这种片面性。
直译法有着显而易见的优越性：一方面有助于保存原著的格调，另一方面又有助于不断从外国引进一些新鲜、生动的词语和表达方法。汉语中有好多词语与英语是对等的。
open secret 公开的秘密 chain reaction 连锁反应
black market 黑市 cold war 冷战
这些都是直译的范例。
意译是直译的对立面，没有直译，就无所谓意译。当原文的`思想内容与译文的表达形式有矛盾不宜采用直译方法处理，就应采用意译法，也就是不拘泥于原文的形式，而重点在于正确表达原文的内容，根据上下文的逻辑关系，从词的基本意思出发进一步引申词义，用比较恰当的汉语词汇表达出来。只有在正确理解原文的基础上，运用相应的翻译方法以调整原文结构，用规范的汉语加以表达，才叫真正作到了“意译”，翻译实践证明，大量英语句子的汉译都要采取“意译”，例如：
Don‘t cross the bridge till you get to it.
如按原文字面意思和句子结构直译成“不到桥不要过桥”或“到了桥才过桥”，就是一句毫无意义的废话。如采用意译法处理，译成“不必自取烦恼” “车到山前必有路”“不要杞人忧天”，“麻烦还未到，不要去烦恼”等意，其深刻含义便跃然纸上。当然，意译不等于乱译，胡乱地翻译是不符合“忠实”的翻译标准的。
This is where the shoe pinches.
一般情况下，此句之真正含义与“鞋子”并无关系，直译成“这儿就是鞋子挤脚疼的地方”令人费解，只能意译出其抽象含义：“这就是问题的症结所在”。
