C. 英语四六级口语考试有指定教材吗什么名字和出版社要是没有，用什么书比较好呢

1.首先上课要认真听讲，尤其要做好笔记，下课再复习一遍，把他们都记在脑子里。然后再加入内自己的理解。当然容学英语的基础是先掌握好单词、短语。
2.如果你这方面不行的话，建议你多背背。然后要认真完成作业，如果说你上课有些东西还是不太理解，或许通过完成作业就可以掌握它的运用。
3.英语的难点在于碎的东西太多。要有很好的记忆力，和对语境的理解。建议你多下功夫。

D. 社会人士怎么报名英语六级考试

社会人士不可以参加英语四六级考试。准确点说，目前情况是，非在校大学生是没有资格参加大学英语四六级考试的（简称CET）。

在校学生可以报考英语四六级

社会人员考报四六级是不可以的，在为这是专门为学生们准备的考试方式，具体有：

1、在校的本科生；

2、具有同等文化程度的大专生或硕士研究生经得学校同意后也可在本学校进行报名参加考试；

3、具有同等程度的读业余大学，比如夜大或函授生也可在学校的同意在学校进行报名考试。而且四六级考试只能是在自己所在的学校报名考试，不能跨校考的。

为此，作为对我国在校大学生英语能力是否达到《教学要求》的主要鉴定手段的大学英语四、六级考试也必须相应改革，以适应新的形势，使考试更好地为贯彻《教学要求》服务。在教育部高教司的主持和领导下，大学英语四、六级考试改革组和考试委员会经过反复研讨和论证，并广泛听取了大学英语第一线教师和学生的意见，制定了《全国大学英语四、六级考试改革方案（试行）》。

大学英语四、六级考试是一种为教学服务的标准化考试。因此，考试改革的方向是在保持考试的科学性、客观性和公正性的同时，使考试最大限度地对大学英语教学产生正面的导向作用，即通过四、六级考试的改革，引导师生正确处理教学与考试的关系，更合理地使用四、六级考试，使考试更好地为教学服务。

这个成绩去考CATTI 2 基本上毫无悬念的会挂掉；考三级，多练习翻译题，有希望过

建议将主要精力放在实务翻译的练习和实践上，这才是复习重点和难点！学笔译可以通过一些好的带有参考答案的资料来练习，对比自己和参考译文，从中找差找缺、不断提高，没有捷径！翻译500万字和翻译50万字，获得的感受、收获会有质的差异！

无需太看重真题，有一套近年真题参考下出题的样式、分值、风格就差不多了

我08年考二级笔译的时候根本没去追求什么真题，相信自己基础打好了，通过考试便是水到渠成；何况三级笔译的难度要明显小一些了；我做过五年专职笔译工作，手头有大量的CATTI 和MTI复习、辅导资料（电子档）可免费赠送爱好翻译或者从事翻译、以及想通过翻译资格考试的朋友。

推荐的二口教程：

林超伦《实战口译》及其配套 MP3 ；

梅德明《英汉口译实践》、《汉英口译实践》及其配套 MP3 ；

冯建忠教授的《实用英语口译教程》及其配套 MP3 ；

武汉大学出版社的《英语口译笔记法实战指导》（吴钟明主编），讲的很详细透彻，理论与实践并重，还有配套mp3，难得的好材料！

笔译价位以千字XX元计，比较合理的市场价位在150 ---1000元/千字，从低端到高端都有人做，译员收入当然是和能力（翻译质量和速度）直接挂钩的！！我说的这是价格区间是翻译公司对客户的报价，到翻译员手里一半能拿到这个价位的50--60%；你是CATTI 3，建议多接些单子锻炼和提高自己，等水平更好了，再去挑战要求和价位更高的客户/稿子，先从自己最擅长的领域开始吧；翻译是硬打硬凭译文和实力说话的，来不得虚假！是否走职业翻译的路子，可以自己看看我在网络知道回答的其他相关帖子，这里不赘述；如果准备做职业笔译，那建议至少拿下CATTI 2 后熟悉一些专业背景/术语、常规翻译工具、术语库管理等，职业笔译专业化程度很高，也很细分，有意向可以自己慢慢了解，我Q空间也有很多类似的介绍~

CATTTI 3 水平，公司开的单价范围一般是：
英译中 80 --100 /千单词；中译英：70 -- 90元/千中文（仅供参考），如果你有直接客户，单价可翻倍；这个水平阶段审稿必不可少，CATTI 2 做的稿子一般也需要审稿的；

较好翻译公司现在招人普遍是这样的要求：
MTI （翻译硕士，当然外语硕士也OK的）+ CATTI 2 证书 + 熟悉某个或某几个领域的背景知识和术语 + 300万字以上翻译经验 + 熟悉常规翻译软件 + 熟练检索信息 + 通过测试（这条十分重要，很多公司直接看测试效果，其他只作为参考，有些测试不诚信作弊的，后期项目中会很快露马脚，直接被拉入黑名单）； 当然了，如果你翻译能力很好，是业内翘楚，这些条条框框对你毫无意义，你直接可以跟别人谈单价，即便你开价高也还是有很多人乐意找你翻译的，毕竟有些客户更在意质量、效果，不缺钱~

不同公司、不同客户群体、不同的价位都有不同要求，CATTI 2 基本上算入门级笔译，因为职业笔译要学习和提高的地方太多了，语言与社会/经济发展息息相关，每年都有新的词汇、新的翻译工具出现，你需要与时俱进，稍不留神就被甩在后面；

目前笔译工作涉及影视、动画、软件、手册、网站、书籍等，覆盖的领域包括电子、金融、化工、医学、机械、法律、商务、外交、专利、论文等，不仅需要从业者具备扎实的双语基础、娴熟的语言转化能力，还需要吃苦耐劳、努力学习、与时俱进，并且熟悉 Trados、SDLX、memoQ、WordFast、X-Bench 等专业化翻译工具（提高翻译统一性、效率、项目管理、QA等），否则很容易被无情淘汰，因为普通笔译工作者的数量实在是太过庞大，持有专八证书、六级证书、CATTI 证书的所谓的“翻译”确实太多太多了；正因为如此，合格笔译者凤毛麟角，测试10人（一般应聘者至少专八以上水平或硕士）往往都难物色到一位较理想的笔译人才，因此合格笔译人才月入15000张左右是司空见惯的，但与金融、IT等比笔译行业整体收入是比较低的，如果你深爱笔译就要有这样的思想准备！

Seven Ways to Save the World

Forget the old idea that conserving energy is a form of self-denial—riding bicycles, dimming the lights, and taking fewer showers. These days conservation is all about efficiency: getting the same—or better—results from just a fraction of the energy. When a slump in business travel forced Ulrich Ramer to cut costs at his family—owned hotel in Germany, he replaced hundreds of the hotel’s wasteful light bulbs, getting the same light for 80 percent less power. He bought a new water boiler with a digitally controlled pump, and wrapped insulation around the pipes. Spending about ￡100,000 on these and other improvements, he slashed his ￡90,000 fuel and power bill by ￡60,000. As a bonus, the hotel’s lower energy needs have reced its annual carbon emissions by more than 200 metric tons. “For us, saving energy has been very, very profitable,” he says. “And most importantly, we’re not giving up a single comfort for our guests.”

Efficiency is also a great way to lower carbon emissions and help slow global warming. But the best argument for efficiency is its cost—or, more precisely, its profitability. That’s because quickly growing energy demand requires immense investment in new supply, not to mention the drain of rising energy prices.

No wonder efficiency has moved to the top of the political agenda. On Jan. 10, the European Union unveiled a plan to cut energy use across the continent by 20 percent by 2020. Last March, China imposed a 20 percent increase in energy efficiency by 2020. Even George W. Bush, the Texas oilman, is expected to talk about energy conservation in his State of the Union speech this week.

The good news is that the world is full of proven, cheap ways to save energy. Here are the seven that could have the biggest impact.

Insulate

Space heating and cooling eats up 36 percent of all the world’s energy. There’s virtually no limit to how much of that can be saved, as prototype “zero-energy homes” in Switzerland and Germany have shown. There’s been a surge in new ways of keeping heat in and cold out (or vice versa). The most advanced insulation follows the law of increasing returns: if you add enough you can scale down or even eliminate heating and air-conditioning equipment, lowering costs even before you start saving on utility bills. Studies have shown that green workplaces (ones that don’t constantly need to have the heat or air-conditioner running) have higher worker proctivity and lower sick rates.

Change Bulbs

Lighting eats up 20 percent of the world’s electricity, or the equivalent of roughly 600,000 tons of coal a day. Forty percent of that powers old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs—a 19th-century technology that wastes most of the power it consumes on unwanted heat.

Compact fluorescent lamps, or CFLS, not only use 75 to 80 percent less electricity than incandescent bulbs to generate the same amount of light, but they also last 10 times longer. Phasing old bulbs out by 2030 would save the output of 650 power plants and avoid the release of 700 million tons of carbon into the atmosphere each year.

Comfort Zone

Water boilers, space heaters and air conditioners have been notoriously inefficient. The heat pump has altered that equation. It removes heat from the air outside or the ground below and uses it to supply heat to a building or its water supply. In the summer, the system can be reversed to cool buildings as well.

Most new residential buildings in Sweden are already heated with ground-source heat pumps. Such systems consume almost no conventional fuel at all. Several countries have used subsidies to jump-start the market, including Japan, where almost I million heat pumps have been installed in the past two years to heat water for showers and hot tubs.

Remake Factories

From steel mills to paper factories, instry eats up about a third of the world’s energy. The opportunities to save are vast. In Ludwigshafen, German chemicals giant BASF runs an interconnected complex of more than 200 chemical factories, where heat proced by one chemical process is used to power the next. At the Ludwigshafen site site alone, such recycling of heat and energy saves the company ￡200 million a year and almost half its CO2 emissions. Now BASF is doing the same for new plants in China. “Optimizing (优化) energy efficiency is a decisive competitive advantage,” says BASF CEO Jurgen Hambrecht.

Green Driving

A quarter of the world’s energy---including two thirds of the annual proction of oil—is used for transportation. Some savings come free of charge: you can boost fuel efficiency by 6 percent simply by keeping your car’s tires properly inflated (充气). Gasoline-electric hybrid(混合型的) models like the Toyota Prius improve mileage by a further 20 percent over conventional models.

A Better Fridge

More than half of all residential power goes into running household appliances, procing a fifth of the world’s carbon emissions. And that’s true even though manufacturers have already hiked the efficiency of refrigerators and other white goods by as much as 70 percent since the 1980s. According to an International Energy Agency study, if consumers chose those models that would save them the most money over the life of the appliance, they’d cut global residential power consumption (and their utility bills) by 43 percent.

Flexible Payment

Who says you have to pay for all your conservation investments? “Energy service contractors” will pay for retrofitting（翻新改造）in return for a share of the client’s annual utility-bill savings. In Beijing. Shenwu Thermal Energy Technology Co. specializes in retrofitting China’s steel furnaces. Shenwu puts up the initial investment to install a heat exchanger that preheats the air going into the furnace, slashing the client’s fuel costs. Shenwu pockets a cut of those savings, so both Shenwu and the client profit.

If saving energy is so easy and profitable, why isn’t everyone doing it? It has do with psychology and a lack of information. Most of us tend to look at today’s price tag more than tomorrow’s potential saving. That holds double for the landlord or developer, who won’t actually see a penny of the savings his investment in better insulation or a better heating system might generate. In many people’s minds, conservation is still associated with self-denial. Many environmentalists still push that view.

Smart governments can help push the market in the right direction. The EU’s 1994 law on labeling was such a success that it extended the same idea to entire buildings last year. To boost the market value of efficiency, all new buildings are required to have an “energy pass” detailing power and heating consumption. Countries like Japan and Germany have successively tightened building codes, requiring an increase in insulation levels but leaving it up to builders to decide how to meet them.

The most powerful incentives, of course, will come from the market itself. Over the past year, sky-high fuel prices have focused minds on efficiency like never before. Ever-increasing pressure to cut costs has finally forced more companies to do some math on their energy use.

Will it be enough? With global demand and emissions rising so fast, we may not have any choice but to try. Efficient technology is here now, proven and cheap. Compared with all other options, it’s the biggest, easiest and most profitable bang for the buck.
