The reason for its inquiry is that the BBC’s royal charters runs out in1996and it must decide whether to keep the organization as it is or to make changes.Defenders of the Corporation—of whom there are many—are fond of quoting the American slogan“If it ain’t broke,don’t fix it.”The BBC“ain’t broke”,they say,by which they mean it is not broken(as distinct from the word“broke”,meaning having no money),or why bother to change it?Yet the BBC will have to change,because the broadcasting world around it is changing.The commercial TV channels—ITV and Channel4—were required by the Thatcher Government’s Broadcasting Act to become more commercial,competing with each other for advertisers,and cutting costs and jobs.But it is the arrival of new satellite channels—funded partly by advertising and partly by viewers’subscriptions—which will bring about the biggest change in the long term.1.The world famous BBC now is confronted with___.A.the problem of news coverageB.an uncertain prospectC.inquiries by the general publicD.shrinkage of audience2.In the passage,which of the following about the BBC is not mentioned as the key issue?A.Extension of its TV service to Far East.B.Programs as the subject of a nation-wide debate.C.Potentials for further international co-operations.D.Its existence as a broadcasting organization.3.The BBC’s“royal charter”(Paragraph4)represents___.A.the financial support from the royal familyB.the privileges granted by the QueenC.a contract with the QueenD.a unique relationship with the royal family4.The word“broke”in“If it ain’t broke,don’t fix it”means___.A.broke downB.bankruptC.fragmentedD.penniless5.The first and foremost reason why the BBC has to read just itself is no other than___.A.the emergence of commercial TV channelsB.the enforcement of Broadcasting Act by the governmentC.the urgent necessity to reduce cost—and—job expensesD.the challenges of new satellite channels2.Federal Reserve System,central banking system of the United States,popularly called the Fed.A central bank serves as the banker to both the banking community and the government;it also issues the national currency,conducts monetary policy, and plays a major role in the supervision and regulation of banks and bank holding companies.In the U.S.these function are the responsibilities of key officials of the Federal Reserve System:the Board of Governors,located in Washington,D.C.,and the top officers of12district Federal Reserve banks,located throughout the nation. The Fed’s actions,described below,generally have a significant effect on U.S.interest rates and,subsequently,on stock,bond,and other financial markets.The Federal Reserve’s basic powers are concentrated in the Board of Governors, which is paramount in all policy issues concerning bank regulation and supervision and in most aspects of monetary control.The board enunciates the Fed’s policies on both monetary and banking matter.Because the board is not an operating agency, most of the day-to day implementation of policy decisions is left to the district Federal Reserve banks,stock in which is owned by the commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System.Ownership in this instance,however,does not imply control;the Board of Governors and the heads of the Reserve banks orient their policies to the public interest rather than to the benefit of the private banking system.The U.S.banking system’s regulatory apparatus is complex;the authority of the Federal Reserve is shared in some instances for example,in mergers or the examination of banks with other Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation(FDIC).Inthe critical area of regulating the nation’s money supply in accordance with national economic goals,however,the Federal Reserve is independent within the government, Income and expenditures of the Federal Reserve banks and of the board of governors are not subject to the congressional appropriation process;the Federal Reserve is self-financing.Its income($20.2billion in1992)comes mainly from Reserve bank holdings of income-earning securities,primarily those of the ernment. Outlays($1.5billion in1992)are mostly for operational expenses in providing services to the government and for expenditures connected with regulation and monetary policy.In1992the Federal Reserve returned416.8billion in earnings to the U.S.treasury.1.The Fed of the United States___.A.function as China BankB.is the counterpart of People’s Bank of ChinaC.is subjected to the banking community and governmentD.has13top officers who can influence the American financial market2.The fact that stock in the Fed belongs to commercial banks___.A.doesn’t mean the latter is in controlB.means the latter is in controlC.means the latter is subjected to the Reserve banksD.means the Reserve banks orient the latter’s policies3.Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A.The fed is a very big,complex and significant system which comprises many local banks.B.All the commercial banks are not the components of Federal Reserve System.C.Board of governors is the supreme policy-makers of America.D.District Reserve banks rather than Board of governors perform the day-to-day policies.4.The authority of the federal Reserve___.A.has to be shared with other establishments.B.is exclusive at other timesC.isn’t limited by comptroller of the Currency and FDICD.is limited by Board of governors5.Income of the Board of governors___.A.is borrowed from the U.S.treasuryB.is used by the government to make various policieses from the U.S.TreasuryD.is not granted by the government3.In the last12years total employment in the United States grew faster than at any time in the peacetime history of any country–from82to110million between1973 and1985–that is,by a full one third.The entire growth,however,was in manufacturing,and especially in no–blue-collar jobs…This trend is the same in all developed countries,and is,indeed,even more pronounced in Japan.It is therefore highly probable that in25years developed countries such as the United States and Japan will employ no larger a proportion of the labor force I n manufacturing than developed countries now employ in farming–at most,10percent.Today the United States employs around18million people in blue-collar jobs in manufacturing industries.By2010,the number is likely to be no more than12million.In some major industries the drop will be even sharper.It is quite unrealistic,for instance,to expect that the American automobile industry will employ more than one–third of its present blue-collar force25years hence,even though production might be50percent higher.If a company,an industry or a country does not in the next quarter century sharply increase manufacturing production and at the same time sharply reduce the blue-collar work force,it cannot hope to remain competitive–or even to remain “developed.”The attempt to preserve such blue–collar jobs is actually a prescription for unemployment…This is not a conclusion that American politicians,labor leaders or indeed the general public can easily understand or accept.What confuses the issue even more it that the United States is experiencing several separate and different shifts in the manufacturing economy.One is the acceleration of the substitution of knowledge and capital for manual labor.Where we spoke of mechanization a few decades ago,we now speak of“robotization“or“automation.”This is actually more a change in terminology than a change in reality.When Henry Ford introduced the assembly line in1909,he cut the number of man–hours required to produce a motor car by some 80percent in two or three years–far more than anyone expects to result from even the most complete robotization.But there is no doubt that we are facing a new,sharp acceleration in the replacement of manual workers by machines–that is,by the products of knowledge.1.According to the author,the shrinkage in the manufacturing labor force demonstrates______.A.the degree to which a country’s production is robotizedB.a reduction in a country’s manufacturing industriesC.a worsening relationship between labor and managementD.the difference between a developed country and a developing country2.According to the author,in coming25years,a developed country or industry,in order t remain competitive,ought to______.A.reduce the percentage of the blue-collar work forceB.preserve blue–collar jobs for international competitionC.accelerate motor–can manufacturing in Henry Ford’s styleD.solve the problem of unemployment3.American politicians and labor leaders tend to dislike_____.A.confusion in manufacturing economyB.an increase in blue–collar work forceC.internal competition in manufacturing productionD.a drop in the blue–collar job opportunities4.The word“prescription”in“a prescription for unemployment”may be the equivalent to______A.something recommended as medical treatmentB.a way suggested to overcome some difficultyC.some measures taken in advanceD.a device to dire5.This passage may have been excepted from________A.a magazine about capital investmentB.an article on automationC.a motor-car magazineD.an article on global economy4.What does the future hold for the problem of housing?A good deal depends,of course,on the meaning of“future”.If one is thinking in terms of science fiction and the space age,it is at least possible to assume that man will have solved such trivial and earthly problems as housing.Writers of science fiction,from H.G.Wells onwards, have had little to say on the subject.They have conveyed the suggestion that men willlive in great comfort,with every conceivable apparatus to make life smooth,healthy and easy,if not happy.But they have not said what his house will be made of.Perhaps some new building material,as yet unimagined,will have been discovered or invented at least.One may be certain that bricks and mortar(泥灰，灰浆)will long have gone out of fashion.But the problems of the next generation or two can more readily be imagined. Scientists have already pointed out that unless something is done either to restrict the world’s rapid growth in population or to discover and develop new sources of food(or both),millions of people will be dying of starvation or at the best suffering from underfeeding before this century is out.But nobody has yet worked out any plan for housing these growing populations.Admittedly the worst situations will occur in the hottest parts of the world,where housing can be light structure or in backward areas where standards are traditionally low.But even the minimum shelter requires materials of some kind and in the teeming,bulging towns the low-standard“housing”of flattened petrol cans and dirty canvas is far more wasteful of ground space than can be tolerated.Since the war,Hong Kong has suffered the kind of crisis which is likely to arise in many other places during the next generation.Literally millions of refugees arrived to swell the already growing population and emergency steps had to be taken rapidly to prevent squalor（肮脏）and disease and the spread crime.The city is tackling the situation energetically and enormous blocks of tenements（贫民住宅）are rising at an astonishing aped.But Hong Kong is only one small part of what will certainly become a vast problem and not merely a housing problem,because when population grows at this rate there are accompanying problems of education,transport,hospital services,drainage,water supply and so on.Not every area may give the same resources as Hong Kong to draw upon and the search for quicker and cheaper methods of construction must never cease.1.What is the author’s opinion of housing problems in the first paragraph?A.They may be completely solved at sometime in the future.B.They are unimportant and easily dealt with.C.They will not be solved until a new building material has been discovered.D.They have been dealt with in specific detail in books describing the future.2.The writer is sure that in the distant future___.A.bricks and mortar will be replaced by some other building material.B.a new building material will have been invented.C.bricks and mortar will not be used by people who want their house to be fashionable.D.a new way of using bricks and mortar will have been discovered.3.The writer believes that the biggest problem likely to confront the world before the end of the century___.A.is difficult to foresee.B.will be how to feed the ever growing population.C.will be how to provide enough houses in the hottest parts of the world.D.is the question of finding enough ground space.4.When the writer says that the worst situations will occur in the hottest parts of the world or in backward areas,he is referring to the fact that in these parts___.A.standards of building are low.B.only minimum shelter will be possible.C.there is not enough ground space.D.the population growth will be the greatest.5.Which of the following sentences best summarizes Paragraph3?A.Hong Kong has faced a serious crisis caused by millions of refugees.B.Hong Kong has successfully dealt with the emergency caused by millions of refugees.C.Hong Kong’s crisis was not only a matter of housing but included a number ofother problems of population growth.D.Many parts of the world may have to face the kind of problems encountered by Hong Kong and may find it much harder to deal with them.5.In1975a doctor in Singapore noticed that hospitals were treating an unusual number of influenza like cases.Influenza is sometimes called“flu"or a“bad cold". He took samples from the throats of patients and in his hospital was able to find the virus of this influenza.There are three main types of the influenza virus（病毒）.The most important of these are type A and B,each of them having several subgroups.With the instruments at the hospital the doctor recognized that the outbreak was due to a virus in group A, but he did not know the subgroup.Then he reported the outbreak to the World Health Organization in Geneva.W.H.O.published the important news alongside reports of a similar outbreak in Hong Kong,where about15～20%of the population had become ill.As soon as the London doctors receive the package of throat samples,doctors began the standard tests.They found that by reproducing itself with very high speed, the virus had grown more than a million times within two days.Continuing their careful tests,the doctors checked the effect of drugs against all the known subgroups of virus type A.None of them gave any protection.This,then,was something new,a new influenza virus,against which the people of the world had no help whatever. Having found the virus they were working with,the two doctors now dropped it into the noses of some specially selected animals,which get influenza much as human beings do.In a short time the usual signs of the disease appeared.These experiments proved that the new virus was easy to catch,but that it was not a killer.Scientists,like the general public,call it simply Asian flu.The first discovery of the virus,however,was made in China before the diseasehad appeared in other countries.Various reports showed that the influenza outbreak started in China,probably in February of1957.By the middle of March it had spread all over China.The virus was found by Chinese doctors early in March.But China is not a member of the World Health Organization and therefore does not report outbreaks of disease to it.Not until two months later,when travelers carried the virus into Hong Kong,from where it spread to Singapore,did the news of the outbreak reach the rest of the world.By this time it was started on its way around the world.Thereafter,W.H.O.'s Weekly Reports described the steady spread of this virus outbreak,which within four months swept through every continent.1.The doctor in Singapore performed a valuable service by2.One interesting thing about the virus in the story was that3.The type of influenza discussed in the story4.The experiments in giving the virus to animals proved that this type of influenza was easy to catch but5.One reason why the outbreak of the disease was not discovered soonerwas that三．作文（30分）Tourism is a booming business in China.However,some people worry that too many tourists may bring harm to the environment,while others don’t think so.What is your opinion?Write on ANSWER SHEET a composition of about250words on thefollowing topic:Will Tourism Bring Harm to the Environment?You are to write in three parts.In the first part,state specifically what your opinion is.In the second part,provide one or two reasons to support your opinion.In the last part,bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.Marks will be awarded for content,organization,grammar and appropriateness.

最新考研英语翻译模拟试题及答案解析
考研英语翻译模拟试题及答案解析(1)Any discussion of the American educational system would be less than complete if it did not mention the emphasis that many colleges and universities place upon the nonacademic, social,“extracurricular”aspect of education, often defined as personal growth. Perhaps a useful way of viewing the notion of personal growth would be to picture the very large and general term“education” as being all-embracing, including as subsets within it academic and nonacademic components.This may be one of the most difficult concepts to convey to someone who is not intimately familiar with American higher education. Few educational systems in other countries place the same emphasis on this blend of academic and personal education. The majority of colleges and universities in the United States make some attempt to integrate personal and intellectual growth in the undergraduate years. (2) If the ultimate goal of undergraduate education in America were simply to convey a set body of knowledge, the term of studies could undoubtedly be reduced. Yet the terms of studies are extended in order to give students a chance to grow and develop in other ways.Numerous opportunities are made available to students to become involved in sports, student government, musical and dramatic organizations, and countless other organized and individual activities designed to enhance one’s personal growth and provide some recreationand enjoyment outside of the classroom. (3)Experience with campus organizations and off-campus community involvement can be highly valuable in preparing international students for future leadership in their professional field upon their return home.The typical American college’s support for extracurricular activity is perhaps unique in the world, This special educational dimension, beyond the classroom and laboratory experience, does not mean that extracurricular participation is required to gain an American degree. It remains an entirely optional activity, but (4)it is noted here because Americans have traditionally viewed success in one’s role as a citizen as closely linked to a “well-rounded”life that incorporates a variety of social, athletic, and cultural activities into a person’s experience.A great many American campuses and communities have organized special extracurricular activities for students from other countries. (5) On most campuses, one can find an international club, which includes Americans, where students can get to know and learn socially from students from other countries, as well as Americans. International students are almost always invited, through organized hospitality activities, into the homes of Americans living in or outside the academic community.答案1.如果对美国教育体系的讨论未能涉及许多学院及大学教育中非学术性的、社会的及“课程外”的方面，即其对个性成长的重视，那么这种讨论就不全面。
上外考研翻译硕士英语模拟题一详解
上外考研翻译硕士英语模拟题一详解Valeta Young, 81, a retiree from Lodi, Calif., suffers from congestive heart failure and requires almost constant monitoring. But she doesn’t have to drive anywhere to get it. Twice a day she steps onto a special electronic scale, answers a few yes or no questions via push buttons on a small attached monitor and presses a button that sends the information to a nurse’s station in San Antonio, Texas. "It’s almost a direct link to my doctor," says Young, who describes herself as computer illiterate but says she has no problems using the equipment.Young is not the only patient who is dealing with her doctor from a distance. Remote monitoring is a rapidly growing field in medical technology, with more than 25 firms competing to measure remotely--and transmit by phone, Internet or through the airwaves--everything from patients’ heart rates to how often they cough.Prompted both by the rise in health-care costs and the increasing computerization of health-care equipment, doctors are using remote monitoring to track a widening variety of chronic diseases. In March, St. Francis University in Pittsburgh, Pa., partnered with a company called BodyMedia on a study in which rural diabetes patients use wireless glucose meters and armband sensors to monitor their disease. And last fall, Yahoo began offering subscribers the ability to chart their asthmaconditions online, using a PDA-size respiratory monitor that measures lung functions in real time and e-mails the data directly to doctors.Such home monitoring, says Dr. George Dailey, a physician at the Scripps Clinic in San Diego, "could someday replace less productive ways that patients track changes in their heart rate, blood sugar, lipid levels, kidney functions and even vision."Dr. Timothy Moore, executive vice president of Alere Medical, which produces the smart scales that Young and more than 10,000 other patients are using, says that almost any vital sign could, in theory, be monitored from home. But, he warns, that might not always make good medical sense. He advises against performing electrocardiograms remotely, for example, and although he acknowledges that remote monitoring of blood-sugar levels and diabetic ulcers on the skin may have real value, he points out that there are no truly independent studies that establish the value of home testing for diabetes or asthma.Such studies are needed because the technology is still in its infancy and medical experts are divided about its value. But on one thing they all agree: you should never rely on any remote testing system without clearing it with your doctor.1. How does Young monitor her health conditions?[A] By stepping on an electronic scale.[B] By answering a few yes or no questions.[C] By using remote monitoring service.[D] By establishing a direct link to her doctor.2. Which of the following is not used in remote monitoring?[A] car[B] telephone[C] Internet[D] the airwaves3. The word “prompted” (Line 1, Paragraph 3) most probably means________.[A] made[B] reminded[C] aroused[D] driven4. Why is Dr. Timothy Moore against performing electrocardiogramsremotely?[A] Because it is a less productive way of monitoring.[B] Because it doesn’t make good medical sense.[C] Because it’s value has not been proved by scientific study[D] Because it is not allowed by doctors5. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] Computer illiterate is advised not to use remote monitoring.[B] The development of remote monitoring market is rather sluggish.[C] Remote monitoring is mainly used to track chronic diseases.[D] Medical experts agree on the value of remote monitoring.答案：CADBC篇章剖析本文是一篇说明文，介绍了远程监护目前的发展状况，它的优势，相反的意见等。

It is a private, non-profit organization that strives to create a more just, democratic and efficient public sector in Argentina, and is devoted to the study of the education, health, fiscal, political, judicial and public management systems, in order to determine needs, opportunities, and obstacles for the implementation of effective public policies.The think tank elaborates and disseminates technical information about the functioning of Argentine institutions to promote the accountability of public officials. CIFPEC also provides technical assistance to provincial governments and municipalities, and maintains regional networks working on topics such as parliamentary transparency, democratic institutions, regional integration, etc. Its current projects consist of two training courses on quantitative methods to analyze international trade and financial tools for SMEs as well as a joint study on a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system for the agency. (155 words)*答题处-注意排版和书写*2 The huge earthquake that hit off the coast of northeastern Miyagi prefecture earlier this year was a harsh reminder of the more elemental dangers that can threaten economic activity on the crowded and seismically vulnerable Japanese archipelago. Weighing the full implications of the natural disaster will take time. Yet the earthquake at the very least throws a huge question mark over an economic recovery that economists had hoped would gather steams in 2011 after stalling in the last three months of 2010. Although the areas worst hit are far less economically significant than the coastal industry zones, which suffered widespread stoppages after' the 1995 Kobe earthquake, the disaster could heighten recent uncertainty among consumers and investors about the prospects for Japan's continued recovery from its' worst postwar recession.Learning from the lessons of the devastating disaster in 1995, the government and insurance companies have been actively encouraging even smaller companies to draw up detailed "business continuity plans" intended: to minimize losses and aid quick recoveries. In the longer term, the earthquake is certain to force heavy spending on construction and public works in the affected region. The terrifying footage of tsunami carrying away whole buildings makes it clear that dealing with the damage will require huge effort and heavy investment.

英语翻译基础（英汉互译）模拟试卷一1.In these times when market forces appear increasingly complicated and more volatile, it is all the more important to understand the professional jargon and terminology in the market place in order to be able to better make our investment and business decisions. Understanding key-economic indicators will assist in the decision making process, providing a snapshot of the current situation and an insight into the future.Each economic indicator tells us something about the economy or inflation. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is probably the most important report as it is the whole framework where other economic indicators fall under. Using the textbook formula where Gross National Product = Consumption + Investment + Government Spending + Exports - Imports, some of the indicators will fall into the above-mentioned category e. g. retail sales figures will fall under consumption, construction spending under investment, to name a few.There are also indicators that are broader that tell us about the economy itself rather than the component, e. g. employment figures, leading indicators, money supply figures ( M3 ). Inflation figures, Produce Price Index ( PPI) and the Consumer Price Index ( CPI) will, in short, inform us of the changes in wholesale prices, cost of consumer ( retail) goods and services respectively.An indicator that is useful must be accurate, timely and reliable. It depends entirely on the integrity of the national statistical system responsible. It is vital to know the accurate components of an indicator. We have to be mindful of the limitation of these statistical figures too.Some indicators can be historic or extremely volatile, and therefore their value are reduced. It is better to compare the most recent data with earlier months, or take a moving average for the past 3, 6 or 12 months to smooth the data. It will tell us if there has been a significant change in trend and whether a new direction is under way.标准答案在目前这种时期，市场越来越变幻莫测、动荡不定，要做出明智的商业投资决策，理解市场相关的专业术语变得尤为重要。

考研英语翻译模拟试题及答案(一)Gandhi ’ s pacifism can be separated to some extent from his other teachings.(1)(Its motive was religious, but he claimed also for it that it was a definitive technique, a method, capable of producing desired political results. Gandhi ’ s attitude was not that of most Western pacifists. Satyagraha,) (2(the method Gandhi proposed and practiced, first evolved in South Africa, was a sort of non-violent warfare, a way of defeating the enemy without hurting him and without feeling or arousing hatred.) It entailed such things as civil disobedience, strikes, lying down in front of railway trains, enduring police charges without running away and without hitting back, and the like. Gandhi objected to “ passiveresistance as” a translation of Satyagraha:in Gujarati, it seems, the word means in the truth ” .(3(In his early days Gandhi served as a str-ebtecahreerr on the Britishfirmness side in the Boer War, and he was prepared to do the same again in thewar of 1914-1918.) Even after he had completely abjured violence he was honest enough to see that in war it is usually necessary to take sides. Since his whole political life centred round a struggle for national independence, he could not and, (4)(indeed, he did not take the sterile and dishonest line of pretending that in every war both sides are exactly the same and it makes no difference who wins.) Nor did he, like most Western pacifists, specialize in avoiding awkward questions. In relation to the late war, one question that every pacifist had a clear obligation to answer was: “ What about the Jews? Are you prepared to see them exterminated? If not, how do you propose to save them without resorting towar? ” (5)(I must say that I have never heard, from anyWestern pacifist, an honest answer to this question, though I have heard plenty of evasions, usually of the “ yo’u re another ” type.) But it so happens that Gandhi was asked a somewhat similar question in 1938 and that his answer is on record in Mr. Louis Fischer ’ s Gandhi and Stalin. According to Mr. Fischer, Gandhi’ s view was that the German Jews ought to commit collective suicide, which “ would have aroused the worland the people of Germany to Hitler’ s violence. ”总体分析本文是一篇介绍甘地的和平主义的文章。

(10 points)1．Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require months of travel through Europe. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography, set up interviews and do research? So I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind: you can’t learn if you don’t try. So I accepted the assignment. By the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. The point is that the new is almost by definition scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you. I’ve learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I’ll go on doing such things. It is not because I am braver than others, but because I will accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.正确答案：几年前，我被分配了一项写作任务，为此要在欧洲旅游几个月。

考研英语一翻译模拟试题及答案为广大考生整理了考研英语一翻译模拟试题及答案，供广大考生参考：Whether or not animals are due equal consideration is an unresolved issue. 46) I have defended a moral presumption in favour of equal consideration, and it is clear that appeals to species will not overturn that presumption. Almost as certainly, contract theory will not do so either. But, while no published discussions of the appeals to moral agency and to social bonds have carried the burden of proof on the inegalitarian, it may be premature to preclude the possibility that the relevant argument could be developed more successfully. 47) Among the various challenges to equal consideration, the strategy of appealing to the common-sense moral differences regarding assistance and killing seems strongest. Combining this approach with either, or both, of the suitably developed appeals to moral agency and social bonds may offer the most formidable possible challenge to equal consideration. 48) But the very real possibility the our intuitions regarding assistance and killing are shaped by pro-human, anti-animal prejudice justifies a continued presumption in favour of equal consideration. Only a challenge that was explicit, coherent, and more compelling than any produce so far could overturn that presumption.Suppose that the presumption favouring equal consideration foranimals were successfully overturned, how should we understand animal moral status? As we have seen, the view that animals have moral status is not plausible, in view of the arguments we have canvassed. 49) But there is a position that falls in between that extreme one and the equal-consideration approach, a view that is intuitively fairly plausible and no doubt tacitly accepted by many people.To get a handle on this view, one needs to imagine two particular scales and then merge them. The first is the phylogenetic scale, or at least one way of construing it. This scale is an evolutionary hierarchy with animal species that are more biologically and cognitively complex closer to the top. The second scale is a hierarchy of moral status. Being at the very top have the highest moral status and deserve full consideration. Beings somewhat lower deserve very serious consideration but less that what the beings on the top deserve. 50) As one moves down this scale of moral status or moral consideration, the amount of consideration one owes to beings at a particular level decreases. At some point one reaches beings who deserve just a little consideration.答案及译文主要引用了外研社的斑斓阅读系列的《动物权利》中杨通进的译文。

英语翻译基础（汉译英）模拟试卷1. 解决13亿人的问题，不能靠别人，只能靠自己。
中华人民共和国成立以来，我们的建设取得了很大成就，同时也走了一些弯路，失去了一些机遇。
从1978年开始改革开放，我们终于找到了一条发展自己的正确道路。
这就是：中国人民独立自主地建设中国特色的社会主义。
这条道路的精髓，就是调动一切积极因素，解放和发展生产力，尊重和保障中国人民追求幸福的自由。
中国的改革开放，从农村到城市，从经济领域到政治、文化、社会领域。
它的每一步深入，说到底，都是为了放手让一切劳动、知识、技术、管理和资本的活力竞相进发，让一切创造社会财富的源泉充分涌流。
标准答案We can rely on no one except ourselves to resolve the problems facing our 1.3 billion people. Since the founding of the People’s Republic, we have achieved much in our national reconstruction; at the same time we have made a few detours and missed some opportunities. By 1978, with the adoption of the reform and opening-up policies, we had ultimately found the right path of development—the Chinese people’s path of independently building socialism with Chinese characteristics.The essence of this path is to mobilize all positive factors, emancipate and develop the productive forces, and respect and protect the freedom of the Chinese people to pursue happiness.China’s reform and opening-up have spread from rural areas to the cities, from the economic field to the political, cultural and social arenas. Each and every step forward is designed, in the final analysis, to release the gushing vitality of labor, knowledge, technology, managerial expertise and capital, and allow all sources of social wealth to flow to the fullest extent.2. 纺织企业改革目前国有纺织企业占用着上亿元的资产，却连年巨额亏损，其重要原因是资源重复配置，企业过度竞争，而败者又难以实现优化配置。

Translate the following passage from English into ChineseAs the famous Chinese saying goes, “Above, there is Heaven-below, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou.” An impressive claim, but the only way to find out if Suzhou is indeed one of these two earthly paradises is to actually visit the place. Suzhou sits only four meters above sea level, so water features heavily in the landscape of its canal towns, as well as in the serene classical gardens that have been designated as World Heritage sites. This was immediately obvious on arrival, with rivers and canals crisscrossing the streets on the ten-minute walk from the train station to my riverside hostel.Because of Suzhou’s location near the mouth of the Yangtze, numerous canals were built to stabilize the flood-prone delta areas. Several other towns and cities in the region followed suit, creating what has become known as China’s region of water towns. As well as the countless lakes, 35 kilometers of rivers, and 168 bridges nearby, the Grand Canal is another significant draw. Stretching from Beijing to Hangzhou, it cuts an impressive path from north to south, and brought significant trade to the towns.After a few minutes’ exploration down some of its many back streets, I discovered why Suzhou is often praise as the “Venice of the Orient” Aside from the countless picturesque stone bridges peppering the city, Suzhou, like Venice, was once a great trading port, supplying goods from China’s “most productive land.” And during my brief visit I saw many small boats using the rivers to transport goods throughout the city.It’s also the silk capital of China. In ancient times it was from here that silk would have been transported along the Grand Canal to Beijing, and eventually all the way along the silk road to places as far as Rome. Even today, Suzhou’s silk exports account for 30 percent of the country’s total. With its mild climate, fertile land and abundance of produce, it is no wonder that Suzhou is referred to as heaven on earth.Part three.

This leads some people to believe that a person can achieve great success without a formal education and that the qualifications a successful person needs cannot be acquired through the study in university or other institutions of similar nature. It cannot be denied that there do exist such examples in every country; however, I can hardly share the above point of view for several reasons In the first place, a college or university is a specialized institution of higher learning where people can receive systematic and scientific training in a certain field, which paves the way for their future career. With the advent of the era of knowledge-based economy, a man without a sound academic background can hardly accomplish anything. Only in universities and other institutions of higher learning can he/she master the professional knowledge and relevant skills essential to his/her career.Secondly, it is wise to learn at another man's cost. We can benifit much from the invaluable experience and knowledge handed down from our ancestors and draw a lesson from the failure of our predecessors so as to avoid detour.Thirdly, when in university, one also has to learn to communicate and cooperate with teachers and fellow students, during which one cultivates friendship and acquires the interpersonal skills, both of which are conductive to one's future career and success. University is said to be a miniature society.Last of all, there are innumerable successful people who attribute their achievements to a formal university education. It is no wonder that so many parents spare no efforts to send their children to colleges and universities.From what I have mentioned above, it is obvious that we can acquire the qualifications and qualities essential to our future career and success through university education. The systematic knowledge and solid academic foundation will make it easy for us to understand and absorb new-developed theories based on previous research efforts; with the social skills we acquire in such a miniature society as university, we will not have to waste much time learning how to handle human relationship. Compared with those without formal university education, university graduates have already gained an upper hand at the very beginning of building their own career.。

Please read the passages and then write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage OneThe increase in leisure time, the higher standard of living, the availability of cars to a wider range of the population and,perhaps, a broadening of personal horizons have all contributed to a drastic change in the summer week-end habits of the British public. Now, on most Saturdays in the months loosely called summer, it is possible to see family saloons loaded with picnics and crammed to bursting with several generations of pleasure-bent …Smiths?. Like competitors in some grossly disorganized rally, they nose their way through the neat drab streets of council estates, converging on the main roads, then crawl as best they can out into the open country and towards the coast.Congestion and the frustration of wasting precious time at the receiving end of someone else?s exhaust fumes gets the pursuit of enjoyment off to bad start; tempers become frayed. Children, traditionally the target for fathers? ill-humor, are singled out for special treatment. The past week?s misdeeds are unearthed and magnified o ut of all reasonable proportion; mothers leap to their broods? defense and, before long, vows that never again will this outing be repeated are being hurled back and forth. Of course, by this time, the children have wisely extracted themselves from the argument and are quietly amusing themselves by looking at their irate elders or gaping at the unfamiliar sight of animals in fields, often so much stranger to them than the corresponding naked shapes they are wont to see in butchers? windows.Eventually, tempers partially restored, the sea is in sight. The paraphernalia of enjoyment is set up on teeming beach, sand mysteriously appears in every sandwich, pale industrial legs are exposed in self-conscious nakedness.The children drift away, quite capable of finding enough magic in this exciting, watery world to occupy them fully until they are gathered in again. Fathers and mothers, and quitepossibly some members of a previous generation, settle back to receive the sun and dream away the tensions brought to a climax by the journey. Fathers eye with furtive lustfulness and mothers glare with disapproval and envy as the shapely matrons of tomorrow splash and play and race coquettishly around them, spraying water and sand and disturbing any hopes of peace.At length the shadows drop and chill in the air brings an end to the idyll. The lobster skin is painfully covered up and the day?s debris half-heartedly collected. The family is rounded up and the brief dreams trodden into the sand along with the wasted paper.31. The writer suggests that tempers become frayed because ________.A. there are too many careless drivers on the roadsB. there are too many cars on the roadsC. the cars are crowdedD. the children are irritating32. How do the fathers react when angry?A. They stop the children misbehaving.B. They complain about the children?s wrongdoing.C. They are easy to quarrel with the mothers.D. They shout at their wives.33. What do they find when they finally stop?A. There are sandwich stalls erected there.B. There are factory workers sunbathing.C. The beach is very crowded.D. The beach is covered with a lot of paraphernalia.34. Why are mothers liable to give disapproving looks?A. They resent their husbands? admiration of the intruders.B. They are angry at being disturbed when they want peace and quiet.C. They haven?t yet recovered from the effects of the journey.D. They are jealous because these people are in better shape than they are.35. When they prepare to leave, they ________.A. carefully pack away the lobsters they have caughtB. put plasters on the places where they have been hurtC. cover over their debris with waste paperD. dress carefully to avoid any further irritationPassage TwoEvery market activity is an investment in time, energy and money. Few Companies would spend a large sum of money on, say, a purchase of capital equipment without a full investigation into why it is needed, the choices available, and the expected return on what has been spent. Yet every year the vast majority of companies invest a large amount of money in marketing actions without knowing what their financial worth to the company or likely return will be. By introducing the disciplines arising from market planning, a company should be able to ensure that the costs of marketing planning show a reasonable return and are calculated in the same way as all other business investments.Many managers believe that the costs of marketing form an additional expense that has to be accepted in order to sell their goods. Whilst it is true that many companies use certain tools of marketing for this purpose, it is also true that the most successful companies accept marketing as an essential part of the company?s total commercial operation, for it is an essential cost in the same way as production or finance.Companies often avoid planning marketing procedures in detail because of the effort needed to express their forwardpolicy in a written form. Managers commonly consider that their time is too valuable to spend on anything other than urgent operational problems. In fact, the manager who spends his time on dealing with current administrative detail is almost certain to have ignored proper planning in the past. For, if properly prepared, the marketing plan will contain sufficient detail s of the company?s policy and operational strategy for the work to be done by an assistant.As the many alternative courses of action are programmed, the assistant takes any actions or decisions which are appropriate. Only unusual situations need be dealt with by the manager.The first step in preparing a marketing plan is that of producing the information necessary for decision making. Usually, a company will have within its own administration and control system the raw material necessary for the plan?s fo undations. In addition, there is plenty of published information which is made available by government departments, institutions and the press.Marketing research is yet to be fully exploited by the majority of companies. It has so far only been used by companies that have recognized that their existing information sources are inadequate. Because of the scale of operations that now confronts the typical businessman, it is essential that investment decisions are based upon relevant information, so reducing the business risk.For a marketing-oriented activity to produce lasting results the entire operation has to be systematically planned. By producing basic information in written form and establishing aims for the future, the company is creating standards against which actual performance can be measured. Documentation ofdetailed policy actions then provides the basis for controlling the company?s operation. Future trends may be predicted through the investigation of all factors likely to influence company results.36. The amount of money spent on marketing by most companies each year _____.A. equals the amount spent on capital equipmentB. does not give a good return on the investmentC. is not based on an assessment of its potential valueD. is viewed by these companies as an important business investment37. Managers usually regard the costs of marketing as _____.A. something which increases the cost of goodsB. helpful but not essential to a company?s successC. less important than investment in productionD. an unnecessary extra business cost38. Why are marketing plans not written down by many managers?A. They do not have time to do it.B. They know it would be difficult to do.C. They never follow any particular marketing plan.D. They do not think it is really necessary39. Good marketing procedures allow a manager _____.A. to take different courses of actionB. to do less work than othersC. to avoid unforeseen problemsD. to give more responsibility to others40. How should a manager begin writing a marketing plan?A. By doing market research outside the company.B. By looking at information produced by other companies.C. By analyzing procedures already used by the company.D. By finding information from many different sources.Passage ThreeIn addition to urge to conform which we generate ourselves, there is the external pressure ofthe various formal and informal groups we belong to, the pressure to back their ideas and attitudes and to imitate their actions. Thus our urge to conform receives continuing, even daily reinforcement. To be sure, the intensity of the reinforcement, like the strength of the urge and the ability and inclination to withstand it, differs widely among individuals. Yet some pressure is present for everyone. And in one way or another, to some extent, everyone yields to it.It is possible that a new member of a temperance group might object the group?s rigid insistence that all drinking of alcoholic beverages is wrong He might even speak out, reminding them that occasional, moderate drinking is not harmful, that even the Bible speaks approvingly of it. But the group may quickly let him know that such ideas are unwelcome in their presence. Every time he forgets this, he will be made to feel uncomfortable. In time, if he values their companionship he will avoid expressing that point of view. He may even keep himself from thinking.This kind of pressure, whether spoken or unspoken, can be generated by any group, regardless of how liberal or conservative, formal or casual it may be. Friday night poker clubs, churches, political parties, committees, fraternities, unions. The teenage gang that steals automobile accessories may seem to have no taboos. But let one uneasy member remark that he is beginning to feel guilty about his crimes and their wrath will descend on him.Similarly, in high school and college, the crowd a student travels with has certain (usually unstate D) expectations for its members. If they drink or smoke, they will often make the member who does not do so fe el that he doesn?t fully belong. If a member does not share their views on sex, drugs, studying, cheating, or any other subject of importance to them, they will communicate their displeasure. The way they communicate, of course, may be more or less direct. They may tell him he?d better conf orm “or else”. They may launch a teasing campaign against him. Or they may be even less obvious and leave him out of their activities for a few days until he asks what is wrong or decides for himself and resolves to behave more like them.The urge to conform on occasion conflicts with the tendency to resist change. If the group we are in advocates an idea or action that is new and strange to us, we can be torn between seeking their acceptance and maintaining the security of familiar ideas and behavior. In such .cases, the way we turn will depend on which tendency is stronger in us or which value we are more committed to. More often,-however, the two tendencies do not conflict but reinforce each other. For we tend to associate with those whose attitudes mid actions are similar to our own.41. The writer most probably discusses ____ in the previous part of the text.A. advantages that conformity brings usB. internal urge we have to conform with othersC. the definition of conformityD. the necessity of conformity42. You may experience external pressure to conform ____.A. when you conceal your points of viewB. from the time when you were bornC. when your opinions are different from those of the group to which you belongD. when you face something new43. A temperance group is ____.A. an organization that advocates drinking of alcoholic beverages'B. an organization that urges people to stop drinking alcoholic liquorsC. an organization in which all members have no taboos to drink alcoholic beveragesD. an organization in which all drivers are not allowed to drink alcoholic liquors44. If you refuse to give up your ideas which are different from the others in the group youbelong to, ____.A. you will be tom apart by the othersB. their wrath will descend on youC. you will gradually be deserted by themD. you will resolve to behave more like them45. The main topic of this text is ____.A. the external pressure which urges us to conform with othersB. both the internal and external urge we have to conform with othersC. the urge and the tendency for us to conform with othersD. the generation of the external urge for us to conform with othersPassage FourTheoretical physicists use mathematics to describe certain aspects of Nature. Sir Isaac Newton was the first theoreticalphysicist, although in his own time his profession was called “natural philosophy”.By Newton?s era people had already used algebra and geometry to build marvelous works of architecture, including the great cathedrals of Europe, but algebra and geometry only describe things that are sitting still. In order to describe things that are moving or changing in some way, Newton invented calculus.The most puzzling and intriguing moving things visible to humans have always been the sun, the moon, the planets and the stars we can see in the night sky. Newton?s new calculus, combined with his “Laws of Motion”, made a mathematical model for the force of gravity that not only described the observed motions of planets and stars in the night sky, but also of swinging weights and flying cannonballs in England.Today?s theoretical physicists are often working on the boundaries of known mathematics, sometimes inventing new mathematics as they need it, like Newton did with calculus.Newton was both a theorist and an experimentalist. He spent many long hours, to the point of neglecting his health, observing the way Nature behaved so that he might describe it better. The so-called “Newton?s Laws of Motion” are not abstract laws that Nature is somehow forced to obey, but the observed behavior of Nature that is described in the language of mathematics. In Newton?s time, theory and experiment went together.Today the functions of theory and observation are divided into two distinct communities in physics. Both experiments and theories are much more complex than back in Newton?s time. Theorists are exploring areas of Nature in mathematics thattechnology so far does not allow us to observe in experiments. Many of the theoretical physicists who are alive today may not live to see how the real Nature compares with her mathematical description in their work. Today?s theorists have to learn to live with ambiguity and uncertainty in their mission to describe Nature using math.In the 18th and 19th centuries, Newton?s mathematical description of motion using calculus and his model for the gravitational force were extended very successfully to the emerging science and technology of electromagnetism. Calculus evolved into classical field theory.Once electromagnetic fields were thoroughly described using mathematics, many physicistsfelt that the field was finished, that there was nothing left to describe or explain.Then the electron was discovered, and particle physics was born. Through the mathematics of quantum mechanics and experimental observation, it was deduced that all known particles fell into one of two classes: bosons or fermions. Bosons are particles that transmit forces. Many bosons can occupy the same state at the same time. This is not true for fermions, only one fermion can occupy a given state at a given time, and this is why fermions are the particles that make up matter. This is why solids can?t pass throu gh one another, why we can?t walk through walls-because of Pauli repulsion-the inability of fermions (matter) to share the same space the way bosons (forces) can.While particle physics was developing with quantum mechanics, increasing observational evidence indicated that light, as electromagnetic radiation, traveled at one fixed speed (in a vacuum) in every direction, according to every observer. Thisdiscovery and the mathematics that Einstein developed to describe it and model it in his Special Theory of Relativity, when combined with the later development of quantum mechanics, gave birth to the rich subject of relativistic quantum field theory. Relativistic quantum field theory is the foundation of our present theoretical ability to describe the behavior of the subatomic particles physicists have been observing and studying in the latter half of the 20th century.But Einstein then extended his Special Theory of Relativity to encompass Newton?s theory of gravitation, and the result, Einstein?s Gen eral Theory of Relativity, brought the mathematics called differential geometry into physics.General relativity has had many observational successes that proved its worth as a description of Nature, but two of the predictions of this theory have staggered the public and scientific imaginations: the expanding Universe, and black holes. Both have been observed, and both encapsulate issues that, at least in the mathematics, brush up against the very nature of reality and existence.Relativistic quantum field theory has worked very well to describe the observed behaviors and properties of elementary particles. But the theory itself only works well when gravity is so weak that it can be neglected. Particle theory only works when we pretend gravity doesn?t exist.General relativity has yielded a wealth of insight into the Universe, the orbits of planets, the evolution of stars and galaxies, the Big Bang and recently observed black holes and gravitational lenses. However, the theory itself only works when we pretend that the Universe is purely classical and that quantum mechanics is not needed in our description of Nature.String theory is believed to close this gap.Originally, string theory was proposed as an explanation for the observed relationship between mass and spin for certain particles called hadrons, which include the proton and neutron. Things didn?t work out, though, and Quantum Chromodynamics eventually proved a better theory for hadrons.But particles in string theory arise as excitations of the string, and included in the excitations of a string in string theory is a particle with zero mass and two units of spin.If there were a good quantum theory of gravity, then the particle that would carry the gravitational force would have zero mass and two units of spin. This has been known by theoretical physicists for a long time. This theorized particle is called the graviton.This led early string theorists to propose that string theory be applied not as a theory of hadronic particles, but as a theory of quantum gravity, the unfulfilled fantasy of theoretical physics in the particle and gravity communities for decades. But it wasn?t enough that there be a gravitonpredicted by string theory. One can add a graviton to quantum field theory by hand, but the calculations that are supposed to describe Nature become useless. This is because, as illustrated in the diagram above, particle interactions occur at a single point of spacetime, at zero distance between the interacting panicles. For gravitons, the mathematics behaves so badly at zero distance that the answers just don?t make sense. In string theory, the strings collide over a small but finite distance, and the answers do make sense.This doesn?t mean that string theory is not without its deficiencies. But the zero distance behavior is such that we cancombine quantum mechanics and gravity, and we can talk sensibly about a string excitation that carries the gravitational force.This was a very great hurdle that was overcome for late 20th century physics, which is why so many young people are willing to learn the grueling complex and abstract mathematics that is necessary to study a quantum theory of interacting strings.46.

2021年1月考研英语翻译最新模拟题及答案详解(一)Part CIn Benjamin Franklin's civic pride and his projects for the improvement of Philadelphia, we see another aspect of the philosophy of doing good. At the same time we may recognize the zeal for reform that has long been a characteristic of American life. In his attention to the details of daily living, Franklin shows himself as the observant empiricist. 46. As the successful engineer of ways to make the city he loved cleaner, safer and more attractive he continually sponsored new institutions that were proof that the applications of reason to experience were fruitful in the real world.47. "Human bliss," observed Franklin, "is produced not so much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen, as by little advantages that occur every day." Franklin typifies that aspect of the American character that is attentive to small details as well as over-all great plans. 48. The practical idealism of America lies in our capacity to work for our ideals step by step, to recognize that the perfect world is never achieved but that we may approach it gradually by a creativeattentiveness to each aspect of life around us.In the American tradition Franklin stands as a man who preached thrift, frugality, industry and enterprise as the "way to wealth." 49. He grew to maturity in an American tradition that was older than he was, according to which such virtues as thrift and industry were not enough to bring a man success; he had also to practice charity and help his neighbor. Wealth was a token of esteem of the Divine Providence that governs men's affairs, and thus the accumulation of riches was not sought for its own sake alone. Furthermore, wealth and position, being marks of the divine favor, conferred an obligation; a successful man was a "steward," holding the world's goods in trust for the less fortunate.50. Being an American meant for Franklin a passionate love of country and a devotion to a democratic point of view in which the rights and liberties of his fellow men were guaranteed and protected. As her foremost citizen in the eyes of the world, he was the champion of her cause in Britain for more than a decade before the Revolution and her representative in France during the years of conflict. America was fortunate in having a man of his stature and ability to serve her during those years; the skills he had acquired in mastery of life and the world'saffairs were brought to bear on the issues of state in patriotic service. An old hand at presenting "causes" in the public press, he presented the case for America in British newspapers and magazines-under various pseudonyms, just as he had done at home in his Pennsylvania Gazette.Part C一、试题解析46.Since ancient times, physicians have known that cerebral damage to the brain could affect(0.5分)language functions //, but a major breakthrough occurred in 1861 when Paul Broca, a young French(1分)surgeon, observed a patient // who suffered from paralysis of the right side of his body as well as the(0.5分)loss of speech.。

Almost as certainly, contract theory will not do so either. But, while no published discussions of the appeals to moral agency and to social bonds have carried the burden of proof on the inegalitarian, it may be premature to preclude the possibility that the relevant argument could be developed more successfully. 47) Among the various challenges to equal consideration, the strategy of appealing to the common-sense moral differences regarding assistance and killing seems strongest. Combining this approach with either, or both, of the suitably developed appeals to moral agency and social bonds may offer the most formidable possible challenge to equal consideration. 48) But the very real possibility the our intuitions regarding assistance and killing are shaped by pro-human, anti-animal prejudice justifies a continued presumption in favour of equal consideration. Only a challenge that was explicit, coherent, and more compelling than any produce so far could overturn that presumption.Suppose that the presumption favouring equal consideration foranimals were successfully overturned, how should we understand animal moral status? As we have seen, the view that animals have moral status is not plausible, in view of thearguments we have canvassed. 49) But there is a position that falls in between that extreme one and the equal-consideration approach, a view that is intuitively fairly plausible and no doubt tacitly accepted by many people.To get a handle on this view, one needs to imagine two particular scales and then merge them. The first is the phylogenetic scale, or at least one way of construing it. This scale is an evolutionary hierarchy with animal species that are more biologically and cognitively complex closer to the top. The second scale is a hierarchy of moral status. Being at the very top have the highest moral status and deserve full consideration. Beings somewhat lower deserve very serious consideration but less that what the beings on the top deserve. 50) As one moves down this scale of moral status or moral consideration, the amount of consideration one owes to beings at a particular level decreases. At some point one reaches beings who deserve just a little consideration.答案及译文主要引用了外研社的斑斓阅读系列的《动物权利》中杨通进的译文。

考研英语翻译模拟试题及答案(一)Directions:Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation must be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)一、经济学史Economics, as we know it, is the social science concerned with the production, distribution, exchange, and consumption of goods and services. Economists focus on the way in which individuals, groups, business enterprises, and governments seek to achieve efficiently any economic objective they select. (46) Other fields of study also contribute to this knowledge: Psychology and ethics try to explain how objectives are formed, history records changes in human objectives, and sociology interprets human behavior in social contexts.Standard economics can be divided into two major fields. (47) The first, price theory or microeconomics, explains how the interplay of supply and demand in competitive markets creates a multitude of individual prices, wage rates, profit margins, and rental changes. Microeconomics assumes that people behave rationally. Consumers try to spend their income in ways that give them as much pleasure as possible. As economists say, they maximize utility. For their part, entrepreneurs seek as much profit as they can extract from their operations.The second field, macroeconomics, deals with modern explanations of national income and employment. Macroeconomics dates from the book, The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money (1935), by the British economist John Maynard Keynes. His explanation of prosperity and depression centers on the total or aggregate demand for goods and services by consumers, business investors, and governments, (48) Because, according to Keynes, inadequate total demand increases unemployment, the indicated cure is either more investment by businesses or more spending and consequently larger budget deficits by government.Economic issues have occupied people’s minds throughout the ages.(49) Aristotle and Plato in ancient Greece wrote about problems of wealth, property, and trade, both of whom were prejudiced against commerce, feeling that to live by trade was undesirable. The Romans borrowed their economic ideas from the Greeks and showed the same contempt for trade.(50) During the Middle Ages the economic ideas of the Roman Catholic church were expressed in the law of the church, which condemned the taking of interest for money loaned and regarded commerce as inferior to agriculture.Economics as a subject of modern study, distinguishable from moral philosophy and politics, dates from the work, Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations (1776), by the Scottish philosopher andeconomist Adam Smith. Mercantilism and physiocracy were precursors of the classical economics of Smith and his 19th-century successors.答案46.其他领域的研究也有助于对此的理解：心理学和伦理学试图解释目标是如何形成的，历史记录着人们所追求的目标的变化，社会学则从社会环境的角度来解释人们的行为。

University Education is Essential to One's success
It is not an uncommon phenomenon that many people become successful without a formal college education, some typical examples of which are Bill Gates, chairman of Microsoft; Li Jiacheng, a Hong Kong billionaire and Hua Luogeng, a world-class mathematician. This leads some people to believe that a person can achieve great success without a formal education and that the qualifications a successful person needs cannot be acquired through the study in university or other institutions of similar nature. It cannot be denied that there do exist such examples in every country; however, I can hardly share the above point of view for several reasons
In the first place, a college or university is a specialized institution of higher learning where people can receive systematic and scientific training in a certain field, which paves the way for their future career. With the advent of the era of knowledge-based economy, a man without a sound academic background can hardly accomplish anything. Only in universities and other institutions of higher learning can he/she master the professional knowledge and relevant skills essential to his/her career.
Secondly, it is wise to learn at another man's cost. We can benifit much from the invaluable experience and knowledge handed down from our ancestors and draw a lesson from the failure of our predecessors so as to avoid detour.
Thirdly, when in university, one also has to learn to communicate and cooperate with teachers and fellow students, during which one cultivates friendship and acquires the interpersonal skills, both of which are conductive to one's future career and success. University is said to be a miniature society.
Last of all, there are innumerable successful people who attribute their achievements to a formal university education. It is no wonder that so many parents spare no efforts to send their children to colleges and universities.
From what I have mentioned above, it is obvious that we can acquire the qualifications and qualities essential to our future career and success through university education. The systematic knowledge and solid academic foundation will make it easy for us to understand and absorb new-developed theories based on previous research efforts; with the social skills we acquire in such a miniature society as university, we will not have to waste much time learning how to handle human relationship. Compared with those without formal university education, university graduates have already gained an upper hand at the very beginning of building their own career.。
