问答题
The publisher’s techniques for book promotion have become increasingly sophisticated in all advanced countries. The typical traveler or book salesman is likely to hold a college degree, certainly in the United States; he receives a careful briefing from the home office, with elaborate samples and sales aids, and perhaps a car provided, or partly provided, by the firm. 1)A well-run publishing house issues two or three seasonal announcement lists with details of its forthcoming books, as well as an annual catalog of its present and past books still in print, which are sent to the principal booksellers and librarians.For many books, a prospectus may be issued, both for the use of booksellers and for direct mailing by the publisher. The distribution of review copies to the press is the last item in the normal program. These three steps, traveling, catalogs, and reviews, are the vital elements in the machinery of book distribution, which it is virtually impossible to accomplish without the professional work of a publisher. 2)The capacity of some authors to produce a quite presentable book with the help of a printer still leaves them far from their objective unless they can find a publisher to undertake its distribution.  Newspaper and periodical advertising is the publisher’s principal means of reaching the public, and standards here have also risen considerably since World War II. 3)Originally handled entirely by the publisher’s own staff, it is now not uncommon for the larger houses, especially in the United States and in some European countries, to employ advertising agencies to prepare the copy and the general details of the campaign for any important book.4) While few authors consider that their books are advertised adequately and most publishers are highly doubtful whether press advertising does in fact sell books, the amounts spent in relation to sales revenue are much higher than for most other commodities, seldom less than 5 percent for new books.  5)Over the whole field of sales promotion, as publishing houses have grown in size and profitability, there has been a marked tendency for the more commercial methods of general business to be applied to books, which are aggressively promoted to retailers and the public in the same manner as are many other commodities.Though this may increase sales, at least in the short term, it may be doubted whether it is in the interests of the public and to the long-term advantage of good publishing.

1.How much will international students have misconceptions about the U.S.? In an effort to quash some myths, here are the four most common stereotypes regarding college education in the United States.Myth 1: American students are not as academically driven in comparison to other nations.There are more than 3,000 universities in the United States. Some are highly selective, some not at all. The less selective colleges may consist of students who have little concern for their academic well-being, but in the more selective colleges you will find very committed students who will spend countless hours at night on their homework. This is a phrase in the United States called an―all nighter which is used when a student stays up all night to perfect an assignment. In truth, it is an issue of pride.Myth 2: American students party all night and day.While American students do enjoy the freedom to explore a full lifestyle, they are also expected to keep up with very high standards of social behavior. and academic excellence. International students often join clubs or organizations where they can become involved in exciting programs both on and off campus.Myth 3: American students are all rich and can afford a college education.Although a certain percentage of American college students do come from wealthy families and have large expendable incomes, most American college students come from moderate-income families. Most American students enter college knowing they must apply for loans, work part-time, and earn scholarships in order to meet their financial obligations.Myth 4: Most Americans (and college students) live in large cities which are crime-ridden with drugs and drive-by shootings.Of all industrialized nations, the United States has one of the lowest crimerates. College campuses are no exception. Safety is of primary importance to all students, parents, and staff at universities.Universities centered in major cities have endless services to ensure the safety of all students, from campus transportation services to on-campus police officers. Most of universities located outside of the city are very safe, and various precautions are made based on their demographic situation.(1) According to the passage, the word-myth means ().A、taleB、misunderstandingC、mistakeD、story(2) In selective colleges, you will find students ().A、are not as academically driven in comparison to other nationsB、have little concern for their academic well-beingC、spend countless hours on their homeworkD、party all night and day(3) Which of the following is NOT the way most American students pay for their college education?A、Work part-timeB、Apply for loansC、Earn scholarshipsD、Borrow money from their parents(4) College campuses in the United States ().A、are very safeB、are crime-riddenC、have high crime ratesD、are too safe to make precautions(5) According to the passage, what can we learn about American college students?A、Students are tired of staying up all night to perfect an assignment.B、Some students have little concern for their academic well-being.C、They come from wealthy families and can afford a college education.D、International students will not join clubs or organizations.

    Schools and Education

    1. Life in the twenty-first century demands preparation.Today,all individuals in a country must have adequate schooling to prepare them for their work as well as for their responsibilities as citizens.With this in mind,national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young.In the United States,government officials,parents,and teachers are working hard to give their children一tomorrow's decision makers一the best preparation available.
    2. There is no national school policy in the United States.Each of the fifty states makes its own rules and regulations for its school,but there are many similarities among the fifty school systems.Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state. In most states the children are required to attend school until they reach the age of sixteen.
    3. When they become six years old,children begin elementary school.After six years in elementary school,they go into junior high school and remain there for three years.The last three years of their public school education are spent in senior high school,from which they graduate at the age of eighteen.
    4. A great number of high school graduates continue their education in one of the many colleges or universities in the country.After four years,they receive a bachelor's degree.Some continue studying for a master's degree and perhaps a doctor's degree.

    After one finishes secondary school,he may or may not________.
    A:go on to study in colleges or universities
    B:emphasized today
    C:the taxes paid by the citizens of each state
    D:to go abroad to do further study
    E:attend school
    F: private source

    答案:A
    解析:
    第一段中间“national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young”,各个国家领导人都注意对年轻人的教育,它是该段的中心句,所以选Co
    本段最后一句“In most states the children are required to attend school untilthey reach the age of sixteen”,所以选D。
    本段提到一个孩子从6岁开始到18岁接受的所有教育,即从小学教育到中学教育,因此B正确。
    本段第一句说到“...high school graduates continue their education in one ofthe many colleges or universities...”所以是关于高等教育。
    “emphasized”和“place emphasis on something”意思相同,即各国强调教育的重要性,所有选B。
    第二段的最后一句,在大多数州,孩子在16岁前必须接受教育,因此选E。
    “financed by”意思是得到资金支持,即“Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state”,选项C符合句子的意思。
    “secondary education”是中学教育,在学生完成中学教育后,他们可以决定是否要继续接受高等教育,因此A符合题意。

    Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did.After a short career in law,he turned to teaching,but he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation.
    In response to the need for truly American textbooks,Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language,a three-volume work that consisted of a speller,a grammar,and a reader.The first volume,which was generally known as The American Spelling Book,was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of his life.Can you imagine that?
    Anyway,in 1807,Noah Webster began his greatest work,An American Dictionary of the English Language.In preparing the manuscript,he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages,and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828,An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States.Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing many of the simplified spelling forms that distinguish American English from British.
    Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States by being awarded a copyright for The American Spelling Book and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties,that is,for author's rights.By the time that Webster brought out the second edition of his dictionary,which included 70,000 entries instead of the original 38,000, the name Webster had become synonymous with American dictionaries.It was this second edition that served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced by others, ironically,under the uncopyrighted Webster name.

    Webster opposed to slavery and made a lot of contribution to the abolition of slavery in the U.S.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:C
    解析:
    诺亚·韦伯一直是老师。第一段第二句话:After a short career in law , he turned to teaching…在法律界工作没多久,他就改行教书。因此本句是错误的。
    《英语语言文法规则》的出版是为了满足美国国内对于课本的需要。依据是第二段第一句话:In response to the need for truly American textbooks , Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language…为了满足这种对于真正美国化课本的需要,韦伯出版了《英语语言文法规则》。因此该句话是正确的。
    1828年出版的《韦氏英语字典》是韦伯最伟大的著作。依据是第三段第一句话:Noah Webster began his greatest work , An American Dictionary of the English Language.1807年,韦伯开始编写他最伟大的著作《韦氏英语词典》。因此该句话是正确的。
    韦伯反对奴隶制而且对于废除美国奴隶制作出了很大的贡献。文中对此没有提及。
    韦伯编写《韦氏英语字典》的目的是为了证明美式英语优于英式英语。第三段倒数第二句提到:Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English.韦伯编写这本字典旨在于证明美国的语言在继承了英式英语后逐渐形成了自己特有的意义、发音和拼写。因此这句话是错误的。
    韦伯终其一生积极维护版权。最后一段第一句中提到:Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States…and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties, that is, for author's rights.根据参考译文可以得知这句话是正确的。
    对于很多美国人来说,一说起字典就会想到韦伯。最后一段倒数第二句中提到:the name Webster had become synonymous with American dictionaries.韦伯已经成为了美国字典的代名词。因此该句话是正确的。

    正确答案:
    (1)【答案】管理有方的出版社每季度印发两、三次书单,详细介绍即将出版的书籍,每年印发一次书籍目录,介绍仍在出版的新旧图书,散发给主要的书商和图书管理员。
    【解析】该句较长,但是结构比较清晰,主干为A well-run publishing house issues two or three seasonal announcement lists,介词短语with details of its forthcoming books...和定语从句which are sent to the principal booksellers and librarians均修饰announcement lists。其中publishing house意为“出版社,出版公司”,issue此处指“发行”。
    (2)【答案】有些作者在印刷商帮助下能印出质量精良的书籍。除非这些作者能够找到出版商承担书籍的推销工作,否则他们的最终目标还远未实现。
    【解析】该句主要成分为The capacity of some authors...leaves them far from their objective...,其中to produce a quite presentable book为不定式作后置定语修饰capacity,with the help of a printer为介词短语表示方式,而unless they can find a publisher to undertake its distribution则为让步状语从句,意为“除非…”。
    (3)【答案】原来出版商全靠自己的工作人员做推销,如今,大型出版社,特别是美国和某些欧洲国家,专门聘请广告公司为其重要图书制作广告并全面安排广告活动的具体过程,这种情况并不少见。
    【解析】本句主干为it is now not uncommon for the larger houses...to employ advertising agencies...,其中Originally handled entirely by the publisher’s own staff为过去分词结构作状语,especially in the United States and in some European countries为插入语,表示地点,to prepare the copy and the general details of the campaign for any important book为不定式结构表目的。该句中的publisher同样指“出版商”。
    (4)【答案】很少有作者认为他们写的书得到了充分宣传,大多数出版商也怀疑究竟靠报纸广告是否真能促进图书销售。不过,相对于年销售图书总收入,花在广告促销上的数额,要比大多数其他商品高得多,新书很少低于5%。
    【解析】该句中press advertising“新闻宣传”,此处特指在报纸上进行广告宣传。in relation to意为“涉及,与…有关”。
    (5)【答案】随着出版社规模增大,效益提高,在图书营销的整个领域,已经出现了明显倾向,把普通商业中使用的更商业性的手段用到了图书推销上。正如推销许许多多其他商品一样,正使用同样的促销手段,把图书疯狂地向零售商和大众推销。
    【解析】该篇文章一直在讲述图书销售,因此此处的sales promotion应将该层意思翻译出来,即“图书营销”。

    该题考查否定转移。原句“因为他对诗歌感兴趣,所以他没买书”,并不构成因果关系。有时,在把汉语中对状语的否定译成英语时,应把其转换为对谓语的否定,因此本句表达的应是“他并不是因为对诗歌感兴趣才买的书”,所以选项B为正确答案。

  • 第15题:

    A centuries-old tradition,illustrated in a modem children's book. 1inks the sweetness of honey with the joy of learning to read.

    “The grandpa held a jar of honey so that all the family could see. He then dipped a spoon into it and put some honey on the cover of a small book.

    The little girl had just turned five.

    ‘Stand up,little one,’he asked the girl softly. ‘I did this for your mother,your uncles,your older brother,and now you!’

    Then,he handed the book to her. ‘Taste!’

    She touched the honey with her finger and put it into her mouth.

    ‘What's that taste?’the grandpa asked.

    The little girl answered,‘Sweet!’

    Then all of the family said in a single voice,‘Yes,and so is knowledge,but knowledge is from the bee that made that sweet honey,you have to go after it through the pages of a book!’

    The little girl knew that the promise to read was at last hers. Soon she was going to learn to read. ”

    This is the beginning of a profoundly moving children's book entitled Thank You,Mr. Falker. In this book,Patricia Polacco writes of her own passion to read,inspired by the honey on the book. It wasn't until fifth grade that she met her beloved teacher who provided the hlep that she needed to finally unlock the magic of the written word.

    Reading this book,we are in fact acquainted with some enduring traditions of child education that stress the importance of verbal capacity at a very early age.

    The child learning to read is admitted into a collective memory by way of books. And with the printed words that are active with meaning,the child becomes acquainted with a common past which he or she renews,to a greater or lesser degree,in every reading. Much as the author of the book Thank You,Mr. Falker puts it,“Almost as if it were magic,or as if light poured into her brain,the words and sentences started to take shape on the page as they never had before…And she understood the whole thing…Then she went into the living room and found the book on a shelf,the very book that her grandpa had shown her so many years ago. She spooned honey on the cover and tasted the sweetness…Then she held the book,honey and all,close to her chest. She could feel tears roll down her cheeks,but they weren't tears of sadness-she was happy,so very happy. ”

    The girl who tasted the honey on the book was______.

    A.nearly six years old

    B.less than five years old

    C.more than six years old

    D.a little more than five years old


    正确答案:D
    解析:事实细节题。由第三段可知:那个女孩刚过5岁。因此,D项符合题意。

    Few men have influenced the development of American English to the extent that Noah Webster did.After a short career in law,he turned to teaching,but he discovered how inadequate the available schoolbooks were for the children of a new and independent nation.
    In response to the need for truly American textbooks,Webster published A Grammatical Institute of the English Language,a three-volume work that consisted of a speller,a grammar,and a reader.The first volume,which was generally known as The American Spelling Book,was so popular that eventually it sold more than 80 million copies and provided him with a considerable income for the rest of his life.Can you imagine that?
    Anyway,in 1807,Noah Webster began his greatest work,An American Dictionary of the English Language.In preparing the manuscript,he devoted ten years to the study of English and its relationship to other languages,and seven more years to the writing itself. Published in two volumes in 1828,An American Dictionary of the English Language has become the recognized authority for usage in the United States.Webster's purpose in writing it was to demonstrate that the American language was developing distinct meanings,pronunciations,and spellings from those of British English. He is responsible for advancing many of the simplified spelling forms that distinguish American English from British.
    Webster was the first author to gain copyright protection in the United States by being awarded a copyright for The American Spelling Book and he continued to lobby over the next fifty years for the protection of intellectual properties,that is,for author's rights.By the time that Webster brought out the second edition of his dictionary,which included 70,000 entries instead of the original 38,000, the name Webster had become synonymous with American dictionaries.It was this second edition that served as the basis for the many revisions that have been produced by others, ironically,under the uncopyrighted Webster name.

    Webster's purpose in writing An American Dictionary of the English Language is to prove that American English was superior to British English.
