Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Text 1A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the surprise sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects a sudden increase in crime does. Appleyard observed this by firhouse in San Francisco that looked much alike and had middle-class and working-class residents. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia in Appleyard‟s terminology while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) had 9,000 cars a day and Franklin Street (HEA VY street) had around 16,000 cars a day.Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia Street had in a day. Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn‟t bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldo m picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left.Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the people on Franklin.On Gough Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives. A number of families had recently moved. And more were considering it. Those who were staying expressed deep regret at the destruction of their community.46.Appleyard‟s study focuses on the influence of ______.A.traffic volume on the residentsB.rate of crime on the neighborhoodC.social classes on the transportationD.degree of pollution on the environment47.Appleyard discovered that increase in the volume of traffic ______.A.made people more violentB.would lead to increase in crimeC.was accompanied by increase in crimeD.had the same effect on people as increase in crime48.The author‟s main purpose in the second paragraph is to ______.A.discuss the problem of handling trashB.suggest ways to cope with traffic problemsC.point out the disadvantages of heavy trafficD.propose an alternative system of transportation49.People on Gough Street ______.A.felt sorry that their block had been pulled downB.felt indifferent about people moving outC.thought their old community was goneD.thought mostly of themselves50.What can we learn about Franklin StreetA.It is not a nice neighborhood for childreB.People often throw trash out as they drive througC.People there have made friends with people on OctaviD.People there own twice as many cars as people on Gough StreeText 2Imagine, if you will, the average games player. What do you see A guy who never grew up Or a nervous 18-year-old pushing buttons on his controller, lost and alone in a violent onscreen world Sorry, you lose. The average gamer is starting to look pretty much like the average person. For the first time, according to a US poll commissioned by AOL Games, roughly half of those surveyed, ages 12 to 55, are tapping away at some kind of electronic game—whether on a PC, a cell phone or another handheld device—for an average of three hours every week.The games people play say a lot about who they are. Machines like the Xbox and PlayStation 2 are largely the territory of twenty-something men, who prefer to picture themselves as sports …stars and racing drivers. Men 50 and older prefer military games. Teenage girls are much more likely than boys to play games on their phone, while older women make up the majority of people playing card games such as Hearts on line.Is it a good thing, all this time spent on games Or is it as harmful as television, pulling people ever further from reality The AOL survey suggests some players are in denial about the extent of their habit. One in 10 gamers find it impossible to resist games; 1 in 4 admits to losing a night‟s sleep to play games; and another quarter has been too absorbed to have meals.But don‟t think we‟re all heading into a world with everyone plugged into, if not totally controlled by, his own game. Quite the contrary: gamers appear to be more engaged with reality than other kinds of couch potatoes. According to a comprehensive survey by the Entertainment Software Association (ESA-whose members, of course, want you to think video games are healthy), gamers spend an average of 23 hours a week volunteering and going to church, concerts, museums and other cultural events. More enthusiastic gamers who play 11 hours a week or more spend ever more time out in the cultural world (34 hours).51. The AOL survey finds that electronic games ______.A.do not present a violent onscreen worldB.no longer keep gamers from growing upC.are no longer exclusive to young peopleD.are not as popular with teenagers as before52.Who does the author say tend to identify themselves with the characters in the gameA.Teenage girlB.Older womeC.Men in their 20D.Men 50 and olde53.When asked about the extent of their habit, some players ______.A.refused to provide an answer to this questionB.denied they were affected by electronic gamesC.wondered why they were asked such a questionD.stressed their interest in playing electronic games54.It can be inferred from the text that ______.A.electronic games are less harmful than televisionB.television viewers are more realistic than gamersC.television is more popular than electronic gamesD.gamers have less self-control than TV viewers55.According to the writer, the ESA members ______.A.have sufficient knowledge of gamesB.think their games are healthy productsC.serve as the role models for game playersD.are concerned about gamers' cultural activitiesText 3The ostrich, the largest bird in the world at present, lives in the drier regions of Africa outside the actual deserts. Because of its very long, powerful legs and the floating effect of its extended wings, it is able to run at great speed over considerable distances.The female ostrich normally produces about twenty eggs every rainy season. When the female ostrich begins to lay her eggs, however, she does not begin in her own nest. Instead she goes off in search of the nests of neighboring females and lays two or three eggs in each of them. By the time she has laid eight or nine eggs, she returns and lays the rest in her own nest.Because of the size of the eggs, the female ostrich cannot lay more than one every two days, so it takes her three weeks to finish laying in her own nest. During that period, she spends a lot of time away from her nest looking for food. And while she is off her nest, other females visit it to lay their eggs amongst hers. By the time she is ready to sit on the eggs to hatch them, there could be up to thirty eggs in her nest, over half of which are not her own.The female ostrich can comfortably cover only about twenty eggs when she is sitting on the nest so before settling down she pushes the surplus ten or so eggs out of the nest. The rejected eggs, however, never include any of her own. Each female is remarkably consistent in the size and shape of the eggs she produces, so it is not difficult for her to distinguish her own from those of strangers.Of all the eggs laid by a colony of ostriches, only a very small number hatch into young birds. There are times when nests are left unprotected, for there are too few males to sit on all the nests at night. Thus there are ample opportunities for their natural enemies to raid the nests and eat the eggs. In fact, nearly 80% of the nests are destroyed. But even if a particular female‟s nest suffers this fate, there is a good chance that one or two of her eggs will be hatched in the nest of one of her neighbors.56.We learn from the text that an ostrich can go a long distance at high speed as ______.A.it is a special kind of birdB.it lives in large desert areasC.it has special wings and legsD.it is the largest bird in the world57.Normally, in every rainy season, the female ostrich produces about ______.A.12 eggs in her nestB.18 eggs in her nestC.20 eggs in her nestD.30 eggs in her nest58.The female ostrich would push some of the eggs out of her nest because ______.A.she can only hatch her own eggsB.those eggs are unlikely to be hatchedC.those eggs are to be hatched by othersD.she can only hatch a limited number of eggs59.The female ostrich identifies her own eggs by their size and ______.A.colorB.numberC.shapeD.weight60.The female ostrich lays her eggs in her neighbors' nests most probably because ______.A.her nest -is not big enoughB.she cannot protect all her eggsC.she cannot tolerate all her eggsD.her nest is not comfortable enoughPart BDirections: Read the opinions given by five scholars on challenges facing today‟s single women. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.What the women I spoke with said was that they want a husband who is independent and dedicated to his career, but that he doesn‟t hav e to make a lot of money. The emphasis was always on finding a best friend—a soul mate—someone you could tell all your troubles to and who would be supportive. So it doesn‟t seem to be the case that these women were looking for super high-achieving men.Grise LevisonI think that for women, as well as for men, the standard for someone who you‟d want to spend your life with depends much more today on emotional intimacy. It takes some trial and error and a pretty long and dedicated search to identify the kind of person who is emotionally matching you and who is able to communicate and listen to trouble talk.Marry BrownIn recent decades girls have been raised to be more competitive and stronger than they were in the past. Several women I talked to mentioned that in their life they felt that their intelligence or intellectual achievement seemed to work against them in their romantic relationships with men. However, most of the women I interviewed felt that there were some men "out there" who would be attracted to smart women. The problem was finding them.Donna SmithI think, for the women I talked to, their ultimate sense of what they want in life includes family and children, but they aren‟t willing to think about the fact that they therefore will probably have to give up some of their own individual pursuits and career goals. I think the definition of success includes both love and work, and that the challenge is how to arrange that in a particular order.Elizabeth BudyI think that people who have clone at least some of the things that are essential for a wise judgment about a partner are more likely to eventually end up in a stable marriage. It‟s also true that they‟re likely to marry someone who is similar to them in education and earning pow er, which means that those marriages are likely to have more money in them.Now match the name of each scholar (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A] Career success is in fact not a disadvantage.[B] The ability to choose a right partner ensures a stable mar riage.[C] How to balance career with family is key to success.[D] The essential part of marriage is the union of soul.[E] Finding an emotionally intimate mate isn‟t a piece of cake.[F] Career success ensures a solid marriage.[G] Social assistance is needed for today‟s single women.61.____________________62.____________________63.____________________64.____________________65.____________________Section ⅣWritingDirections: Y ou should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on ANSWER SHEET 2.Part A1.

Reading ComprehensionSection A Directions: Read the following passage and do the multiple choice questions. (2 marks each, 10 marks altogether)In some ways the employment interview is like a persuasive speech because the applicant (interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several suggestions might prove helpful to the applicant as preparation is made for the actual interview.A job applicant has the responsibility for ascertaining certain types of information prior to the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that job relates to his career objective. It is important that the applicant be able to state his reasons for wishing to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as possible concerning the company. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items as the location of the home and regional offices, the financial status of the company, plansfor expansion, and company philosophy. Information about most major corporations is available in reference books and periodicals. After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The interviewer’s first impression comes from the interviewee’s appearance. For most interviews, appropria te dress for man is a conservative dark colored suit with a long sleeve white or light blue shirt and conservative tie. For women a conservative, tailored suit or dress is appropriate. Both men and women should have neat, conservative length hair. Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal tastes, many personnel directors form initial impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate, who felt himself qualified, interviewed for a public relations job. However, the pe rsonnel manager considered this young man’s long hair, sloppy dress, and overly casual manner unsuited for this particular position. 1. What ’s the purpose of this passage? （A ） To inform the candidates of the recent interview （B ） To give some advice to an employer. （C ） To inform the candidates of how to prepare for an interview （D ） To persuade the candidates to accept his advice 2. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage ? . （A ）The applicant should know the type of work and his career expectation （B ）The applicant should know as much as possible about the company （C ）The applicant should have the reasons a particular company has to employ him （D ）The applicant should not pay too much attention to his appearance 3. According to the passage, before the interview, the applicant can obtain some information about the company he wants to work for _______. （A ）on the internet （B ）in reference books and periodicals （C ）in the library （D ）from the employees of the company business and philosophy 4. What kind of information about the company, as the author suggests, should the candidate obtain ______ ? （A ）the financial status （B ）company philosophy （C ）plans for expansion, （D ）all of the above5. From the last two paragraphs we can infer that .（A ）first impression is of importance（B ）public relations are important in the interview（C ）self confidence is of great importance（D ）personal taste is quite important in the interviewSection B Directions: Decide whether the statements are 'tru e' or 'false' based on the text, write T for ‘true’and F for ‘false’. (2 marks for each, 10 marks altogether)Here are a few examples of business customs in foreign lands that one should be cognizant of:In Brazil, conversations can become very animated and involve physical contact and raised voices. Yettrying to dominate the conversation will meet with disapproval.In China, it's considered impolite to reply negatively. Answers like "we should discuss this further at anothertime" or "perhaps" are much better than a simple "no". The details can be worked out later. When givinggifts, avoid using white or green wrapping paper as those colors are considered to be inauspicious.In Germany, it's customary to wait to be introduced to someone new by a third party. People areuncomfortable when approached by complete strangers.When dining with co-workers in Japan, always let the host pay for the meal. Be sure to never leave yourchopsticks placed vertically in a bowl of rice as this is only done at funerals.The Irish are enthusiastic conversationalists who often indulge in criticism of themselves as a people andIreland as a country. If you're involved in this type of conversation, never agree with what is being said oryou'll find that both yourself and your country will be roundly abused.姓单准 生 答 题 不 准 超 过 此 线 地 区名位名 称考证 号Even in "close" countries like Canada, there are some differences in the way business people interact. Luckily there are many training programs available to familiarize business travelers and career people with the ins and outs of doing business in the international arena. 1. [ ] In Brazil, people usually talk animatedly, but they usually keep space distance with each other. 2. [ ] In China, people usually give a negative answer indirectly instead of the direct “No ”.3. [ ] In Germany, it ’s better not to bother to speak to a stranger if no one introduces him to you.4. [ ] Irish people tend to criticize their own country in conversation because they bear hatred to their country.5. [ ]The purpose of this article is probably to tell us that we should be aware of the different ways business people interact in different cultures and countries. III. Translation Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese. (4 marks each, 20 marks altogether) 1. As you know, we value our long-established relationship with your corporation, and look forward to increasing business in the coming years. 2. Any information you can send us about the city itself and the surrounding countryside, including places of historical interest, will be very much appreciated.3.

The time for this section is 120 minutes.Business of Green: An appeal to slow down on biofuelLast Friday an advisory panel to the European Environment Agency issued an extraordinary scientific opinion: The European Union should suspend its goal of having 10 percent of transportation fuel made from biofuel by 2020.The European Union's biofuel targets were increased and extended from 5.75 percent by 2010 to 10 percent by 2020 just last year. Still, Europe's well-meaning rush to biofuels, the scientists concluded, had produced a slew of harmful ripple effects - from deforestation in Southeast Asia to higher prices for grains.In a recommendation released last weekend, the 20-member panel, made up of some of Europe's most distinguished climate scientists, called the 10 percent target "overambitious" and an "experiment" whose "unintended effects are difficult to predict and difficult to control.""The idea was that we felt we needed to slow down, to analyze the issue carefully and then come back at the problem," Laszlo Somlyody, the panel's chairman and a professor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, said in a telephone interview.He said that part of the problem was that when it set the targets, the European Union was trying desperately to solve the problem of rising transportation emissions "in isolation," without adequately studying the effects of other sectors like land use and food supply."The starting point was correct: I'm happy that the European Union took the lead in cutting greenhouse gasses and we need to control traffic emissions," Somlyody said. "But the basic problem is it thought of transport alone, without considering all these other effects. And we don't understand those very well yet."The panel's advice is not binding and it is not clear whether the European Commission will follow the recommendation.It has become increasingly clear that the global pursuit of biofuels - encouraged by a rash of targets and subsides in both Europe and the United States - has not produced the desired effect.Investigations have shown, for example, rain forests and peat swamp are being cleared to make way for biofuel plantations, a process that produces more emissions than the biofuels can save. Equally concerning, land needed to produce food for people to eat is planted with more profitable biofuel crops, and water is diverted from the drinking supply.In Europe and the United States, food prices for items like pizza and bread have increased significantly as grain stores shrink and wheat prices rise.The price of wheat and rice are double those of a year ago, and corn is a third higher, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization said this week."Food price inflation hits the poor hardest, as the share of food in their total expenditures is much higher than that of wealthier populations," said Henri Josserand of the Food and Agriculture Organization.Biofuels are not, of course, the only reason for high food prices. Fuel to transport food is more expensive with oil more than $100 a barrel. There have been unexpected droughts this yearas well.Should we conclude that all biofuels are bad?No. But motivated by the obvious problems now emerging, scientists have begun to take a harder look at their benefits.For example, the European Environment Agency advisory panel suggests that the best use of plant biomass is not for transport fuel but to heat homes and generate electricity.To be useful for vehicles, plant matter must be distilled to a fuel and often transported long distances. To heat a home, it can often be used raw or with minimal processing, and moved just a short distance away.Section 2 Chinese-English T ranslation (汉译英) (40 points)Translate the following passage into English.

True enough, but there is no better example than President George W. Bush of a U.S. leader's tremendous power to affect perceptions.The speed with which he managed to turn almost universal sympathy for the United States after September 11, 2001, into almost universal detestation was remarkable.What was remarkable in 2008 was how quickly Americans abroad sensed a change of mood. On the night of November 4, American expatriates posted jubilant messages to social networking sites like Facebook saying it was cool to be American again.

There are zero school buses.In 2003, to confront the triple threats of childhood obesity, local traffic jams and —most important —a rise in global greenhouse gases abetted by car emissions, an environmental group here proposed aretro-radical concept: children should walk to school.They set up a piedibus(literally foot-bus in Italian) —a bus route with a driver but no vehicle. Each morning a mix of paid staff members and parental volunteers in fluorescent yellow vests lead lines of walking students along Lecco’s twisting streets to the schools’ gates, Pied Piper-style, stopping here and there as their flock expands.At the Carducci School, 100 children, or more than half of the students, now take walking buses. Many of them were previously driven in cars. Giulio Greppi, a 9-year-old with shaggy blond hair, said he had been driven about a third of a mil e each way until he started taking the piedibus. “I getto see my friends and we feel special becaus e we know it’s good for the environment,” he said.Although the routes are each generally less than a mile, the town’s piedibuses have so far eliminated more than 100,000 miles of car travel and, in principle, prevented thousands of tons of greenhouse gases from entering the air, Dario Pesenti, the town’s environment auditor, estimates.The number of children who are driven to school over all is rising in the United States and Europe, experts on both continents say, making up a sizable chunk of transportati on’s contribution to greenhouse-gas emissions. The “school run” made up 18 percent of car trips by urban residents of Britain lastyear, a national survey showed.In 1969, 40 percent of students in the United States walked to school; in 2001, the most recent year data was collected, 13 percent did, according to the federal government’s National Household Travel Survey. Lecco’s walking bus was the first in Italy, but hundreds have cropped up elsewhere in Europe and, more recently, in North America to combat the trend.Towns in France, Britain and elsewhere in Italy have created such routes, although few are as extensive and long-lasting as Lecco’s.实务-汉译英气候变化是人类发展进程中出现的问题，既受自然因素影响，也受人类活动影响，既是环境问题，更是发展问题，同各国发展阶段、生活方式、人口规模、资源禀赋以及国际产业分工等因素密切相关。

2014年5月Section 1：英译汉（50 分）全球变暖对格陵兰是福是祸？因此，作为格陵兰岛南部主要城镇之一，纳萨克的人口在短短十年中降至1500人，减少了一半。
自杀率也出现上升。
纳萨克最大的用工企业，一家虾厂，几年前倒闭了，原因是虾蟹都逃往了北方更寒冷的水域。
这里曾一度有八艘商业捕鱼船，现在只剩一艘了。
格陵兰岛纳萨克——随着皮艇港(Kayak Harbor)的冰山在融化过程中发出嘶嘶的响声，这座偏远的北极小镇和它的文化，也正在随着气候变化而消失。
格陵兰岛的一个渔民驾船驶过正在融化的冰山。
“捕鱼是这个小镇的核心。
”今年63岁的渔民汉斯•卡斯佩森(Hans Kaspersen)说，“很多人失去了生计。
”尽管逐渐升高的气温正在颠覆着格陵兰人传统的生活方式，但是气温升高也为这个只有5.7万人的国家提供了有趣的新机遇，这种机遇在纳萨克可能最为明显。
随着格陵兰岛广袤的冰盖逐渐消融，人们发现了储量丰富的新矿产和宝石，这为潜在利润巨大的采矿业奠定了基础。
全球最大的稀土金属矿藏就坐落在纳萨克城外不远处，稀土金属在生产手机、风力涡轮机和电动汽车时必不可少。
对格陵兰岛而言，这可能具有重大意义。
很长时间以来，格陵兰岛一直依赖其母国丹麦每年拨付的5亿美元资金支持维持运行。
采矿利润可能会帮助格陵兰岛实现经济上的自给自足，成为第一个因全球变暖而成立的主权国家。
知名工会领袖维图斯•奎奥基茨克(Vittus Qujaukitsoq)说，“我们的目标之一是取得独立。
”然而，把一个由个体渔民和猎人组成的社会，迅速转变为由企业采矿支撑的经济体，也引发了一些难题。
比如，格陵兰岛上与世隔绝的定居点，如何承受计划招徕的数千名波兰或中国建筑工人？采矿是否会破坏格陵兰岛的国家形象（鲸、海豹、寂静的冰川海湾，以及神秘的北极熊）所不可或缺的自然环境？渔民们能够把自身重塑成矿工吗？“我认为采矿就是我们的未来，但现在是一个艰难的阶段。
”格陵兰住房与基础设施部长、副总理延斯•B•佛雷德利克森(Jens B. Frederiksen)说，“这并不是一个所有人都赞成的计划，它会涉及传统、驾船的自由，以及代代相传的职业。
2009年5月英语三笔真题
第一部分英译汉Last Friday an advisory panel to the European Environment Agency issued an extraordinary scientific opinion: The European union should suspend its goal of having 10 percent of transportation fuel made from biofuel by 2020.The European Union's biofuel targets were increased and extended from 5.75 percent by 2010 to 10 percent by 2020 just last year. Still, Europe's well-meaning rush to biofuels, the scientists concluded, had produced a slew of harmful ripple effects- from deforestation in Southeast Asia to higher prices for grain.In a recommendation released last weekend, the 20-member panel, made u of some of Europe's most distinguished climate scientists, called the 10-percent target "overambitious" and an "experiment" whose "unintended effects are difficult to predict and difficult to control.""The idea was that we felt we needed to slow down, to analyze the issue carefully and then come back at the problem," Laszlo Somlyody, the panel's chairman and a professor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, said in a telephone interview.He said that part of the problem was that when it set the target, the European Union was trying desperately to solve the problem of rising transportation emissions "in isolation," without adequately studying the effects of other sectors like land use and food supply."The starting point was correct: I'm happy that the European Union took the lead in cutting greenhouse gases and we need to control traffic emissions," Somlyody said. "But the basic problem is it thought of transport alone, without considering all these other effects. And we don't understand those very well yet."The panel's advice is not binding and it is not clear whether the European Commission will follow the recommendation.It has become increasingly clear that the global pursuit of biofuels --encouraged by a rash of targets and subsidies in both Europe and the United States - has not produced the desired effect.Investigations have shown, for example, rain forests and swamps are being cleared to make way for biofuel plantations, a process that produces more emissions than the biofuels can save.Meanwhile, land needed to produce food for people to eat is planted with more profitable biofuel crops, and water is diverted from the drinking supply.In Europe and the United States, food prices for items like pizza and bread have increased significantly as grain stores shrink and wheat prices rise.The prices of wheat and rice are double those of a year ago, and corn is a third higher, the Food and Agriculture Organization said this week."Food price inflation hits the poor hardest, as the share of food in their total expenditures is much higher than that of wealthier populations," said Henri Josserand of the Food and Agriculture Organization.Biofuels are not, of course, the only reason for high food prices. Fuel used to transport food is more expensive, and there have been unexpected droughts this year as well.Should we conclude that all biofuels are bad?No. But motivated by the obvious problems now emerging, scientists have begun to take a harder look at their benefits.For example, the European Environment Agency advisory panel suggests that the best use of plant biomass is not for transport fuel but to heat homes and generate electricity.To be useful for vehicles, plant matter must be distilled to a fuel and often transported long distances. To heat a home, it can often be used raw or with minimal processing, and moved just a short distance away.第二部分汉译英作为一个国际商业中心，上海拥有繁忙的港口，亚洲最重要的证券交易所之一，以及世界500强都不能忽视的巨大市场。

Mozart's"Requiem"will be performed here as part of Bicentennial events.Exile and patriotism,as well as extraordinary genius,have long made Chopin's appeal transcend all manner of social and political divides.Polish folk motifs thread through some of his finest pieces,and patriotic fervor,as well as homesick longing,infuse some of his best-known works.Section2:Chinese-English Translation(汉译英)Translate the following passage into English.国际金融危机给中国带来了前所未有的困难和挑战。

Eventually, homes will be lost as more ice melts each summer, and maybe all of Bykovsky, too.“It is practically all ice — permafrost —and it is thawing. ” The 4 million Russian people who live north of the Arctic Circle are feeling the effects of warming in many ways. A changing climate presents new opportunities, but it also threatens their environment, the stability of their homes, and，for those whose traditions rely on the ice-bound wilderness, the preservation of their culture.A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. Discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil or liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed for the eager markets of Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by air and water pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry.Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing the United States to prepare to relocate several Inuit coastal villages at a projected cost of US $ 100 million or more for each one. Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with cultural traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding.In Finnmark, the northernmost province of Norway, the Arctic landscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but for the cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of a snowmobile herding them.A changing Arctic is felt there, too, though in another way. "The reindeer are becoming unhappy," said Issat Eira, a 31-year-old reindeer herder.Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving indigenous customs. The state has lavished its oil wealth on the region, and as a result Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance.And yet no amount of government support can convince Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not about to change. Like a Texas cattleman he keeps the size of his herd secret. But he said warmer temperatures in fall and spring are melting the top layers of snow，which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to dig through to the lichen they eat."The people who are making the decisions, they are living in the south and they are living in towns，”said Eira, sitting beside a birch fire inside his lavvu, a home made of reindeer hides. "They don't mark the change of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources from nature who mark it. ”Section 2：Chinese-English Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into English.中国为种类繁多的菜肴感到十分自豪。

5月CATTI三级笔译实务真题The Money Ran Out; Then the Villagers Stepped InHIGUERA DE LA SERENA, Spain —It didn’t take long for Manuel García Murillo, a bricklayer who took over as mayor here last June, to realize that his town was in trouble. It was 800,000 euros, a little more than $1 million, in the red. There was no cash on hand to pay for anything — and there was work that needed to be done.But then an amazing thing happened, he said. Just as the health department was about to close down the day care center because itdidn’t have a proper kitchen, Bernardo Benítez, a construction worker, offered to put up the walls and the tiles free. Then, Maria José Carmona, an adult education teacher, stepped in to clean the place up.And somehow, the volunteers just kept coming. Every Sunday now, the residents of this town in southwest Spain — young and old — dowhat needs to be done, whether it is cleaning the streets, raking the leaves, unclogging culverts or planting trees in the park.“It was an initiative from them,” said Mr. García. “Day today we talked to people and we told them there was no money. Of course, they could see it. The grass in between the sidewalks was up to my thigh. “Higuera de la Serena is in many ways a microcosm of Spain’s troubles. Jus t as Spain’s national and regional governments are struggling with the collapse of the construction industry, overspending on huge capital projects and a pileup of unpaid bills, the same problems afflict many of its small towns.But what has brought Higuera de la Serena a measure of fame in Spain is that the residents have stepped up where their government has failed. Mr. García says his phone rings regularly from other townofficials who want to know how to do the same thing. He is serving without pay, a s are the town’s two other elected officials. They are also forgoing the cars and phones that usually come with the job.“We lived beyond our means,” Mr. García said. “We invested in public works that weren’t sensible. We are in technical bankruptcy.” Even some money from the European Union that was supposed to be used forroutine operating expenses and last until 2013 has already been spent, he said.Higuera de la Serena, a cluster of about 900 houses surrounded by farmland, and traditionally dependent on pig farming and olives, got swept up in the giddy days of the construction boom. It built a cultural center and invested in a small nursing home. But the projects were plagued by delays and cost overruns.The cultural center still has no bathrooms. The nursing home, a whitewashed building sits on the edge of town, still unopened. Together, they account for some $470,000 of debt owed to the bank. But the rest of the debt is mostly the unpaid bills of a town that was not keeping up with its expenses. It owes for medical supplies, for diesel fuel, for road repair, for electrical work, for musicians who played during holidays.Higuera de la Serena is not completely without workers. It still has a half-time librarian, two half-time street cleaners, someone part-time for the sports complex, a secretary and an administrator, all of whom are paid through various financing streams apart from the town. But the town once had a work force twice the size. And when someone is ill, volunteers have to step in or the gym and sports complex — open four hours a day — must close.Section2: Chinese-English Translation (汉译英)(50 points)10年来，中国经济持续快速发展，经济实力、综合国力、人民生活水平迈上新的台阶，国家面貌发生举世瞩目的历史性变化，为促进亚洲和世界经济增长作出了重要贡献。

Dozens of workers at the facility here,the Carbon Power Plant,have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs.Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere.“There are a lot of people worried,”said Kyle Davis,who has been employed at the plant since he was18.But Rocky Mountain Power,the utility that operates the plant,has determined that it would be too expensive to retrofit the aging plant to meet new federal standards on mercury emissions.The plant is scheduled to be shut by April2015.For the last several years,coal plants have been shutting down across the country, driven by tougher environmental regulations,flattening electricity demand and a move by utilities toward natural gas.The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the stricter emissions regulations for the plants will result in billions of dollars in related health savings,and will have a sweeping impact on air quality.“Coal plants are the single largest source of dangerous carbon pollution in the United States,and we have ready alternatives like wind and solar to replace them,”said Bruce Nilles,director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign,which wants to shut all of the nation’s coal plants.For many here,coal jobs are all they know.The industry united the area during hard times,too,especially during the dark days after nine men died in a2007mining accident some35miles down the highway.Virtually everyone around Price knew the men,six of whom remain entombed in the mountainside.But there is quiet acknowledgment that Carbon County will have to change—if not now,soon.Pete Palacios,who worked in the mines for43years,has seen coal roar and fade here.

There is relatively little data on the extent of microplastics in Antarctic waters, and researchers said they hoped this new study would lead to a greater understanding of the global extent of plastic and chemical pollutants.

At the mere hint of a threat, the insects adjust their preflight stance to flee in the opposite direction, ensuring a clean getaway, they said in a finding that helps explain why flies can so easily evade swipes from their human foes. "These movements are made very rapidly, within about 200 milliseconds, but within that time the animal determines where the threat is coming and activates a set of movements to position its legs and wings," Michael Dickinson of the California Institute of Technology said in a statement. "This illustrates how rapidly the fly's brain can process sensory information into an appropriate motor response," said Dickinson, whose research appears in the journal {{I}}Current Biology{{/I}}. Dickinson's team studies this process in fruit flies using high-speed digital imaging equipment and a fancy fly swatter. In response to a threat from the front, the fly moves its middle legs forward, leans back and raises its back legs for a backward takeoff. If the threat is from the side, the fly leans the other way before takeoff. The findings offer new insight into the nervous system of the fly, and lends a few clues on how to outsmart them. Dickinson, a bioengineer, has devoted his life's work to the study of insect flight. He has built a tiny robotic fly called Robofly and a 3-D visual flight simulator called Fly-O-Vision.（分数：60.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________正确答案：()解析：{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}} {{B}}苍蝇为何如此难打?{{/B}} 上周四美国的研究员们称，苍蝇能够躲过苍蝇拍，这与其大脑反应直接相关。

2009年5月三级笔译实务英译汉 60分Last Friday an advisory panel to the European Environment Agency issued an extraordinary scientific opinion: The European union should suspend its goal of having 10 percent of transportation fuel made from biofuel by 2020.The European Union's biofuel targets were increased and extended from 5.75 percent by 2010 to 10 percent by 2020 just last year. Still, Europe's well-meaning rush to biofuels, the scientists concluded, had produced a slew of harmful ripple effects- from deforestation in Southeast Asia to higher prices for grain.In a recommendation released last weekend, the 20-member panel, made u of some of Europe's most distinguished climate scientists, called the 10-percent target "overambitious" and an "experiment" whose "unintended effects are difficult to predict and difficult to control.""The idea was that we felt we needed to slow down, to analyze the issue carefully and then come back at the problem," Laszlo Somlyody, the panel's chairman and a professor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, said in a telephone interview.He said that part of the problem was that when it set the target, the European Union was trying desperately to solve the problem of rising transportation emissions "in isolation," without adequately studying the effects of other sectors like land use and food supply."The starting point was correct: I'm happy that the European Union took the lead in cutting greenhouse gases and we need to control traffic emissions," Somlyody said.

答案：英译汉：上周五，欧洲环境署下属的一个顾问小组提出了一个非同寻常的科学建议：欧盟应中止其2020年生物燃油站交通运输所需燃料百分之10的目标。
欧盟关于生物燃料原定的目标是2010年达到百分之5.75，去年才提高到百分之10，期限也延至2020年。
但科学家们断定，欧洲仓促发展生物燃料，虽然初衷良好，单一带来一连串后果---从东南亚的滥砍森林，到粮价飞涨。
顾问小组由20人组成，包括欧洲最著名的气候学家。
他们上周末提出的建议指出，百分之10的目标“太高”，此项“试验”的“结果难以预料，也难以控制”。
该顾问小组组长、布达佩斯技术与经济大学教授拉兹洛。
索姆利奥迪在饥饿受电话采访时说：“我们这样做，是因为我们赶到有必要放慢进度，有必要对此问题仔细分析，然后再回过头来解决它”。
