　　2010秋9.12口译考试题目与解析，新东方第一时间放送——

　　Spot-Dictation的主题是大学校园位置处在城市（urban）和乡村小城镇（rural）分别的利弊。在城市，虽然交通便利，课外娱乐项目繁多，但学生容易受到象牙塔外大都市物质生活的诱惑而无心做学问，吃喝玩乐的开销大；在乡村，校园所处的环境往往山青水绿，可以为学生在封闭无聊的学习之外，提供更多的户外运动场地，更能让人全面发展。

　　就考试本身而言, 空格中所填的单词除了extracurricular，ingrown（闭塞的）外没有冷门。即时ingrown完全不认识，根据平时课堂上训练的拟音方法，考生应该也能够应付。

　　Now, the location of your college. Some colleges are in the center of huge cities， some in the suburbs, and some are surrounded by fields and woods. Where your college is located will be important to your extracurricular life.

　　The advantage of an urban college is that there are many exciting things to do off campus. Compared to a rural campus, there are more movies, plays, churches, restaurants, discos, museums and music. There is probably good public transportation. You are near airports, trains and several highways, making weekend or vacation trips to other places much easier. All of this means that off campus excitement is easy to reach and does not require a lot of planning. This can be an important part of a college education and of your growth. But this easily available entertainment can also tempt you away from your books.

　　The disadvantages of an urban college can be expense and a lack of peace and quiet. Off campus living in the city is almost always more expensive. Even if you live at school, you’ll still eat and shop off campus often---probably more than you would at a rural campus. Many of those wonderful cultural events cost money and are hard to pass up. If you are moving to the city from the country, be prepared for unexpected expenses.

　　An advantage of a rural college is the relaxed and often beautiful setting. Rural colleges may have a much more peaceful and cleaner air and campus activities will probably more important in your extracurricular life. It doesn’t mean that nothing happens off campus in small towns it seems do. But they are more likely to be connected with schools. Rural colleges are often near good spots for outdoor activities, mountains, lakes and beaches. If you have any interest in outdoor activities, this is a good place to learn more. The disadvantages of the rural college can be isolation, boredom, and the difficulty of adjusting to a more relaxed life if you come from a big city. Life at a small rural college can become very ingrown.
