Features: The "Listening Course for the Certificate Examination of Intermediate English Interpretation" (Second Edition) has been revised to a significant extent according to the examination syllabus requirements, with over half of the original content replaced. All 16 units have been reordered, and each unit is followed by a "Review and Practice" section. The book also includes 6 sets of mock tests at the end. The revised textbook places greater emphasis on the authenticity and relevance of the language materials, covering a wide range of topics with diverse exercise formats. Candidates participating in the training program and other English learners who use this course can improve their English listening skills to a professional intermediate to advanced level in a relatively short period, meeting the requirements of the "Certificate Examination of Intermediate English Interpretation" for the listening section and preparing them well for future English interpretation work. Considering the nature of the work candidates may engage in later, a significant portion of the material in this book covers politics, economy, culture, education, social life, history, geography, and tourism in various countries (primarily English-speaking countries). In addition to the author, the revision of this course (Second Edition) was also contributed to by Zhu Wuchen of the International Business Foreign Language Department at Shanghai University of Foreign Trade and Yang Lijun of the Foreign Language Department at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics. Zhou Zhen, Xu Ying, and Luo Shulan, master's students in "Foreign Linguistics and Applied Linguistics" at the English Department of the School of Foreign Languages at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, also participated in some of the work.
