(45) Japanese animation
Japanese animation, known as anime, blossomed after World War II ended in 1945 and today is immensely popular both within Japan and worldwide.
Current trends
Two trends in the animation industry are likely to have a profound influence on its future: a significant increase in production and exhibition opportunities, and the growing importance of new technologies.
[A] Some early live-action films, known as trick films, used the animation technique of stop action, whereby the camera is stopped and an object is removed or added to a shot before filming is resumed.
[B] Disney (with his then-partner Iwerks) created a character that was to become the most famous animated figure in history: Mickey Mouse.
[C] Aside from television, perhaps the largest influence on the style of recent animation worldwide has come from computer technologies. Experiments with electronic animation began in the 1930s, but it was not until the late 1970s that computer animation became viable beyond scientific and government applications, particularly for use by the entertainment industry.
[D] In each case, an animator must keep in mind the basic principle of frames per second (the number of images needed to produce one second of film). Because sound film runs at twentyfour frames per second, a film animator must make twenty-four images for each second of animation that he or she wishes to create.
[E] The most important figure in Japanese animation, Osamu Tezuka, created in 1963 the first animated made-for-television series in Japan, "Tetsuwan Atom" (Astro Boy).
[F] For instance, if an animator decides on an action that will take 3 seconds of animation to complete, the animator will have to create images to fill 72 frames of film (3 seconds of movement multiplied by a running speed of 24 frames per second).
正确答案: D;F;A;B;E
答案解析:41. 选D。因为41题所在段落提出“制作动画的方法取决于材料是平面的还是立体的两种情况”,D段首句的“In each case”从词汇上对“平面和立体两种情况”加以衔接,是典型的提示语。A段因为有“technique”一词和标题词汇重复,是一个干扰项,但仔细阅读就能发现,A段所讲的只是某一历史时期的一种“止动动画技术”,是特指而不是泛指,应排除掉。
42. 选F。F段除了词汇上有“animator”和“action”与原文照应,在意思上也与原文相连贯,举例说明制作人如何考虑每一个画面。
43. 选A。A段讲的是早期电影制作使用的一种“止动动画技术”,其首句中“Some early films”及全段过去时态的使用,帮助我们确定该段是有关动画的发展历史的。c段中因为出现了几处过去时间,如“l930s”,“1970s”,容易被误选。其实,C段讲的是电脑科技对现代动画制作的影响,主要是在讲“现在”而不是“历史发展”;而且,C段首句的“Aside from television”显得比较突兀,因为原文根本没有提及“television”,由此判断,也不应选C。
44. 选B。这一题比较简单,B段首句的“Disney”就是明白的提示。
45. 选E。E段中明确出现了“Japanese animation”和“Japan”等词汇提示。
四、翻译
1. If sustainable competitive advantage depends on work force skills, American firms have a problem. Human resource management is not traditionally seen as central to the competitive survival of the firm the United States. (46) Skill acquisition is considered as an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired—rented at the lowest possible cost—much as one buys raw materials or equipment.
The lack of importance attached to human-resource management call be seen in the corporation hierarchy. In an American firm the chief officer is almost always second in command. (47) The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chances to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO). By way of contrast, in Japan the head of human-resource management is central—usually the second most important executive, after the CEO, in the firm hierarchy.
(48) While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do the Japanese or German firms. The money they do invest is also more highly concentrated on professional and managerial employees. And the limited investments that are made in training workers are also much more narrowly focused on the specific skills necessary to do the next job rather than on the basic background skills that make it possible to absorb new technologies.
As a result, problems emerge when new breakthrough technologies arrive. (49) If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those is lower in Germany than it is the United States. (50) More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed. The result is slower pace of technological change. And in the end the skills of the bottom half of the population affect the wages of the top half. If the bottom half can't effectively staff the processes that have to be operated, the management and professional jobs that go with these processes will disappear.
46). Skill acquisition is considered as an individual responsibility. Labor is simply another factor of production to be hired—rented at the lowest possible cost—much as one buys raw materials or equipment.
正确答案: 技能的获得被认为是个人的责任。劳动力不过是为了生产而雇来的另一个因素—以尽可能低的成本租用—就像购买原材料或者设备。
47). The post of head of human-resource management is usually a specialized job, off at the edge of the corporate hierarchy. The executive who holds it is never consulted on major strategic decisions and has no chances to move up to Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
正确答案: 人力资源管理经理的职位通常是一项专门的工作,被划在公司等级边缘之外。坐在这个位子上的经理主管人员从来不会在主要战略性决策下受到咨询,并且没有机会上升到执行总裁的位子上。
48). While American firms often talk about the vast amounts spent on training their work forces, in fact they invest less in the skills of their employees than do the Japanese or German firms.
正确答案: 美国公司经常谈到他们在培训他们的工作队伍上所花费的大笔的钱,然而,事实上他们比日本或德国公司在公司员工的培训上投资要少。
49). If American workers, for example, take much longer to learn how to operate new flexible manufacturing stations than workers in Germany (as they do), the effective cost of those is lower in Germany than it is the United States.
正确答案: 举例说,如果美国的工人比德国工人(他们正是这样做的)花费更多的时间学习如何操作新型灵活的生产设备,那么那些设备能够产生效果的成本在德国就会比在美国低。
50). More time is required before equipment is up and running at capacity, and the need for extensive retraining generates costs and creates bottlenecks that limit the speed with which new equipment can be employed.
正确答案: (在美国)设备装配完毕并以最大的生产能力运行需要更长的时间,大范围的再度培训的需要会增加成本并且形成瓶颈,这就限制了新设备可以达到的速度。
五、作文
1. You are going to write a letter to your university newspaper editor. And your letter should include the following points.
1) Introduce the activities of volunteers in your university,
2) State its importance,
3) Your own practice
You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead. You do not need to write the address.
正确答案:
Dear Editor,
As the growingly important role played by the Volunteers' Association in the university is concerned, I sincerely suggest that your newspaper should cover more on it.
The Volunteers’ Association has been organizing various activities, which provide opportunities for the students to know more about the society out of campus. For instance, it organizes some students to teach English in some village schools; it holds meetings and forums for students to talk about serious social problems, such as Aids and poverty. In short, the volunteer activities have become a part of the campus life.
However, the significance of the Volunteer activities lies more in enabling the college students to get accustomed to the real social life than just making their lives colorful. It has been commonly agreed that college students should get access to the society instead of studying inside the university only. As a result, the Volunteers' Association and its activities appear as a bridge between campus and the society.
As far as I am concerned, volunteer activities are just as important as study in my university life. I have joined the Volunteers' Association of my department and have taken part in various activities organized by it. What I have learnt during my work in these activities is not what I could learn in the textbooks. And I am sure I will benefit from these experiences.
Yours,
Li Ming
52. Directions:
Study the following charts carefully and write an article. In your article, you should cover the following points:
1) describe the phenomenon;
2) analyze the phenomenon and give your comment it.
You should write about 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.
As is described in the picture, the boy and the girl who are in love are sitting on green ground or on long benches on campus. It is shown that love among college students has become increasingly common.
What has made campus romance so popular? There may be several possible reasons for the increasing popularity of campus love. First, with the development of society, young boys and girls become more independent than before. They believe that they are mature enough to pursue their own love. Second, stress from study and competition among peers make quite a number of students try to seek relief from love. Moreover, peer influence may also be a contributing factor. If a student sees his classmates or friends with girlfriends, he may want to try himself. If he is left alone, he may feel ashamed.
As far as I am concerned, there is nothing wrong with campus romance and no one can really ban it. What really counts is that college students should hold a reasonable attitude towards it. They should be aware that their personal relationships should not get in the way Of their study. They should keep their eyes wide open while trying to find a lifelong companion, otherwise the love will not last for long.
