Translationexercise1Translation exercise 1:Instead of certainties, my generation has treated its children to endless debates and doubts. How will they judge us?On the dresser in Amy’s empty bedroom was a music box with Snoopy on the lid, a gift when she was four or five. She had outgrown it years before and yet could never be bear to part with it. It connected her to simpler days.I picked it up the evening after she departed for college. Her bedroom haunted me with its silence, its unaccustomed tidiness, with the odd souvenirs from a childhood that was now history. But it was the music box that caught my eye. I opened it and the plaintive song played automatically, surprising me. I remembered, tears filling my eyes, the small child holding the box before she went to sleep. When I saw that she had placed my Marine Corps ribbons from Vietnam inside, I wept like a fool.I had not seen the ribbons in ten years. When Amy was small, she wore them to school, picking out one or a few to match a jacket or a sweater. It perplexed her mother and caused her teacher to think I was a militarist at a time when virulent antimilitarism was de rigueur. But even at five she could read inside my heart. She had conceived a way to show her loyalty on an issue that was drowning me in pain.。

解析：“only+状语”位于句首时，句子要求部分倒装。

由句意和时间状语after the accident 可知，此处应该用一般过去时叙述过去的情况，因此应将助动词did提前构成倒装。

这里“酒后驾车的危险性”可以用how引导的宾语从句来表达。

88．答案：the more confused I am考点：本题主要考查比较结构。

解析：“The more…，the more…”意为“越……，就越……”。

这里要注意的是，表示“越糊涂”应该是用confused的比较级，故应该将more confused一起放到句首，而不是只将more提前。

89．答案：having peeked at his neighbor's test paper考点：本题主要考查动名词的完成式。

Translation exercisePassage 1“Suatainability” has become a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed though everyday action and choice. Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. He‟d been though the dot-com boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency. It didin‟t go well. “It was a really had move because that‟s not my passion,” says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. “I was miserable, I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said, …Just wait, you‟ll tu rn the corner, give it some time.‟”Passage 2Who would have thought that, globally, the IT industry produces about the same volumes of greenhouse gases as the world‟s airlines do-rough 2 percent of all CO2 emissions?Many everyday tasks take a surprising toll on the environment. A Google search can leak between 0.2 and 7.0 grams of CO2 depending on how many attempts are needed to get the “right” answer. To deliver results to its users quickly, then, Google has to maintain vast data centers round the world, packed with powerful computers. While producing large quantities of CO2, these computers emit a great deal of heat, so the centers need to be well air-conditioned, which uses even more energy.However, Google and other big tech providers monitor their efficiency closely and make improvements. Monitoring is the first step on the road to reduction, but there is much to be done, and not just by big companies.Writing exerciseYou have just come back from the U.S. as a member of a Sino-American cultural exchange program. Write a letter to your American colleague to1) Express your thanks for his/her warm reception;2) Welcome him/her to visit China in due course.You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter.

The system might usea smart identity card, or a digital credential 7 to a specific computer .and would authenticate users at a range of online services.The idea is to 8 a federation of private online identity systems.

The approach contrast s with one that would require an Internet driver‟s license10 by the government.Google and Microsoft are among companies that already have these “single sign-on” systems that make it possible for users to 11 just once but use many different services.12 .the approach would create a “walled garden” n cyberspace, with safe “neighborhoods” and bright “streetlights” to establish a sense of a13 community.Mr. Schmidt described it as a “voluntary ecosystem” in which “individuals and organizati ons can complete online transactions with 14 , trusting the identities of each other and the identities of the infrastructure 15 which the transaction runs”.Still, the administration‟s plan has 16 privacy rights activists. Some applaud the approach; others are concerned. It seems clear that such a scheme is an initiative push toward what would 17 be a compulsory Internet “drive‟s license” mentality.The plan has also been greeted with 18 by some computer security experts, who worry that the “voluntary ecosystem” envisioned by Mr. Schmidt would still leave much of the Internet 19 .They argue that all Internet users should be 20 to register and identify themselves, in the same way that drivers must be licensed to drive on public roads.1． A.swept B.skipped C.walked D.ridden 2． A.for B.within C.while D.though 3． A.careless wless C.pointless D.helpless 4． A.reason B.reminder promise D.proposal 5． rmation B.interference C.entertainment D.equivalent 6． A.by B.into C.from D.over 7． A.linked B.directed C.chained pared 8． A.dismiss B.discover C.create D.improve 9． A.recall B.suggest C.select D.realize 10． A.relcased B.issued C.distributed D.delivered 11． A.carry on B.linger on C.set in D.log in 12． A.In vain B.In effect C.In return D.In contrast 13． A.trusted B.modernized c.thriving peting 14． A.caution B.delight C.confidence D.patience 15． A.on B.after C.beyond D.across 16． A.divided B.disappointed C.protected D.united 17． A.frequestly B.incidentally C.occasionally D.eventually 18． A.skepticism B.relerance C.indifference D.enthusiasm 19． A.manageable B.defendable C.vulnerable D.invisible 20． A.invited B.appointed C.allowed D.forced。

It is the essence from which we measure our worth and the most important building block in the foundation of our intangible..8 Functioning like a magnet, Hollywood draws ambitious young people from all over the world.9 Acceptance or rejection of your body only carries weight in your mind; it has no bearings on how you actually look, so why not choose the ease of acceptance rather than the pain of rejection? The choice is yours.10 Behaviorists suggest that the child who is raised in an environment where there are many stimuli which develop his or her capacity for appropriate responses will experience greater intellectual development.11 Illegal immigrants are flooding into the United States, fuelling international disputes12 Many new industries which do not need to be close to their markets have been built up in the south and west, partly with the idea that well-qualified northern workers, alreadysatisfied by their high living standard, will think that better surroundings and warmer winters will make their living standards still higher.13 Many men have recognized the similarity of plants to the behavior of animals, and have dreamed wistfully, but forlornly, upon some method or source of rejuvenation such as Ponce de Leon sought in the Fountain of Youth several centuries ago.14 The automobile has brought many changes in American life---for example, the remarkable growth of the suburbs in the past 25 years as many people who work in the cities now enjoy country living because of good roads and the ease of commuting by automobile. Heavy use of the nation’s highways has created a demand for roadside businesses of various kinds, including outdoor movie theaters, where audiences watch films from th eir automobiles and convenient roadside hotels known as ―motels‖.15 His writings are devoured by Arabs from the castles of Morocco to the oil derricks of the Persian Gulf, by diplomats from Foggy Bottom to Peking.16 Every Englishman has some knowledge, however slight, of the works of our greatest writer.17Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English.18 He wondered if he ought to write a swansong, but laughed the thought away. There was no time. He was too impatient to be gone.19 Boxing has a reputation for being a brutal and dangerous game. This reputation is not really deserved.20 In fact the Lexicographer’s name was always on the lips of this majestic woman, and a visit he had paid to her was the cause of her reputation and her fortune.21The growing concentration of wealth in the hands of a few people raised social and political issues.22Sometimes, indeed, it seems that the poetry of Shakespeare will disappear beneath the great mass of comment that has been written upon it.23The popularity of television and the serious problem of piracy have contributed to the decline of movie industry.24. Being a major concern now, the problem of cyber security calls for government measures for improvement.25. Sweeping across Asia, an information technology revolution is causing an acute shortage of high-tech labor.26. In an effort to reach more readers, many publications have gone on-line, making their materials available to people with personal computers.27. Attracted by reports of great economic opportunities and religious and political freedom, immigrants from many other countries flocked to the Untied States in increasing numbers, reaching a peak in the years 1880-1914.28. Electronic music has begun to bridge the gap between diverse groups, breaking through all of society’s barriers: race, gender, age, and culture.29. Humans, the biggest ―killer‖ rather than natural disasters, are forcing more and more animals to join the dinosaurs in the museum.30. During the wartime, years like these would have meant certain death for many people. Many would have become beggars and others would have been compelled to sell their children.31. Hollywood’s fame and fortune reached its peak in the 1930s and 1940s, the golden days of the black and white movies.32. The image of a sudden wall of dark water carrying the man and his car away in an instant is still imprinted on my mind.33. A recent survey revealed that the divorce rate has rocketed as women’s financial dependence on men has plummeted.34. The music industry is getting raided by the internet because it is so easy to make unauthorized copies of songs.35. The increase in DINK families has shattered the traditional idea of Chinese family.36. Just as all nations can benefit from the promise of this new world, no nation is immune to its perils.37. When I try to understand what it is that prevents so many Americans from being as happy as one might expect, it seems to me that there are two causes, of which one goes deeper than the other.38There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman) to appreciate the richness and variety of English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it.39At first, I was poor. Then I became needy. Later I was underprivileged. Now I’m disadvantaged. I still don’t have a cent to my name, but I sure have a great vocabulary.(* euphemistic words used by the government to mean ―poor‖—added by xiao mi)40No transport system in the world carries so many passengers by night or by day as the Greyhound buses which go almost anywhere in the United States.41To save embarrassment to people still living I have given to the persons who play a part in this story names of my own contriving, and I have in other ways taken pains to make sure that no one should recognize them.42Public officials may be removed from office for failing to perform their duties properly as well as for serious violations of law.43I had unforgivably, in a stealthy manner, peeped at her correspondence.44The conveniences that Americans desire reflect not so much a leisurely lifestyle as busy lifestyle in which even minutes of time is too valuable to be wasted.45The greatness of a people is no more determined by their number than the greatness of a man is determined by his height.46. Emphasizing the English language’s impact by its commercial activities across the globe, the United States has brought facets of its culture to almost every country.47. Since the last travel and work restriction were abolished in the European Union, the young have pursued their ambitions freely, helping to make Europe’s economy even more vibrant.48. In British it is necessary to prepare food rapidly in large quantities, and the taste of the food inevitably suffers, though its quality, from the point of view of nourishment, is quite satisfactory.49. E-mail has challenged the fax machine which was the preferred method of transmitting printed matter in the early 1990s.50. He was a clever man; a pleasant companion; a careless student; with a great propensity for running into debt, and a partiality for the tavern.51. It is not only in affluent societies that people are obsessed with the idea of making more money. Consumer goods are desirable everywhere and modern industry deliberately sets out to create new markets. Gone are the days when industrial goods were made to last forever. The wheels of industry must be kept turning. ―Built-in obsolescence‖ provides the means: goods are made to be discarded. Cars get thinner and thinner. You no sooner acquire this year’s model than you are thinking about its replacement.52. This materialistic outlook has seriously influenced education. Fewer and fewer young people these days acquire knowledge only for its own sake. Every course of studies mustlead somewhere: i.e. to a bigger wage pocket. The demand for skilled personnel far exceeds the supply and big companies compete with each other to recruit students before they have completed their studies. Tempting salaries and ―fringe benefits‖ are offered to the m. Recruiting tactics of this kind of have led to the ―brain drain‖, the process by which highly skilled people offer their services to the higher bidder. The wealthier nations deprive their poorer neighbors of their most able citizens. While Mammon is worshipped as never before, the rich get richer and the poor, poorer.53. The big cities must cope with inner-city poverty which spawns crime and drug abuse, and racism which arises from their multiracial populations.54. The agricultural revolution in the 19th century involved the invention of laborsaving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture.55. The economic differences between the North and the South and their different views of the relationship between the federal government and the states led to the Civil War in 1861.56. The best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or daughter whom he has reared with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith.57. Subjection of nature’s forces to man, machinery, application of chemistry to industry and agriculture, steam-navigation, railways, electric telegraphs, clearing of whole continents for cultivation, canalization of rivers, whole populations conjured out of the ground--- what earlier century had even a presentiment that such productive forces slumbered in the lap of social labour? (Manifesto of the Communist Party).58. Almost from the beginning of his term in office, President Clinton was dogged by rumors of his marital infidelity and financial corruption.59. The isolation of the rural world because of distance and the lack of transport facilities is compounded by the paucity of the information media.60. There is a mounting awareness on the part of the public of the gravity of corruption.61. Along with the realization that her superior was a venal official came understanding that the department under his thumb was not only oppressive but also rotten through and through.62. The thought that she would be separated from her husband during his long and dangerous journey saddened Mrs. Brown.63. Music whose meaning is slightly different with each hearing has a greater chance of remaining alive.64. American presidents tend to be judged less by the good deeds they set in motion than by how well they respond to crises.65. The line of demarcation between the adult and the child world is drawn in many ways. For instance, many American parents may be totally divorced from the church, or entertain grave doubt about the existence of God, but they send their children to Sunday school and help them, to pray. American parents struggle in a competitive world where sheer cunning and falsehood are often rewarded and respected, but they feed their children with nursery tales in which the morally good is pitted against the bad, and in the end the good inevitably is successful and the bad inevitably punished.66. Having children---especially the first child---puts a bigger strain on a couple’s relationship than anything else they ever do; some who stay together emerge stronger and richer, but a heck of a lot never recover.67. So a future of smaller families and more people choosing not to have children at all could well leave couple closer than they are today; for many, the purpose of being together would be solely to pleasure and support each other---an interesting prospect.68. Problems arise because too much water or too little water occurs at a certain place at a certain time, and these problems are increasing in number and magnitude each year.69. After all, eighty was a special birthday, another decade lived or endured just as you chose to look at it.70. One-room schools are part of the heritage of the United States, and the mention of them makes people feel a vague longing for ―the way things were.‖71. He always sits on the very edge of his chair when he is working, as though about to take off.72. The difference that distinguished them were obviously associated with the different social lives they had led.73. The main objection to vegetarianism on a long-term basis is the difficulty of getting enough protein, the body-building element in food.74. The combination of this Oriental city’s geography and the absence of import taxes has long made Hong Kong the ideal storehouse for transit goods to and from Asia.75. One attractive feature of the two-year college in the United States is that the faculty’s primary professional responsibility is to teach. At many four-year colleges and universities, research is, to put it mildly, at least as important as how an instructor performs in the classroom. The tension between research and teaching so common at comprehensive universities is not a factor at two-year institutions, where the good of the student is without doubt the instructor’s number-one concern.76 It is simple enough to say that since books have classes---fiction, biography, poetry---we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us.77. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices.78. If we could banish all such preconceptions when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author: try to become him. Be his fellow-worker and accomplice.79. If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible fineness, from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other.80. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. The thirty –two chapters of a novel---if we consider how to read a novel first---are an attempt to make something as formed and controlled as a building: But words are more impalpable than bricks; reading is a longer and more complicated process than seeing.81. Locked up with my reading, I am completely alone. It’s just my book and me. What a delight! No one can read this text, on this page, in my place. Moreover, no one knowswhat I’m reading. It’s a purely selfish pleasure. In the morning, I’m happier and fresher. I feel renewed. Like an athlete, I’m better at some moments than at others. This morning I’m the best at reading.82. Throughout his life, Benjamin Franklin continued his education, learning from human contacts as well as from books.83. Books of voyages and travels became my passion, and in devouring their contents, I neglected the regular exercises of the school.84. What makes community colleges unique within the spectrum of American higher education is their policy of open enrollment.85. When you first glimpse Macau on the ferry form Hong Kong, it looks less than impressive. The skyline is dull compared to the imposing glass skyscrapers of Hong Kong, and most people do not take the time to revise this first impression, devoting on more than a day trip to it. But this does not do justice to this city of two cultures, which hides plenty of interesting secrets.86. We know more about the moon 240,000 miles away than we know about the three-fourth of the earth covered with water.87. As this century unfolds and people look back on this day, they will conclude that in admitting China to the WTO we took a decisive step in strengthening the global economic trading system.88. He was puzzled that I did not want what was obviously a ―step up‖ toward what all Americans are taught to want when they grow up: money and power.89. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds, if it were not for the protection we get from insect-eating animals.90. And he knew how ashamed he would have been if she had known his mother and the kind of place in which he was born and the kind of people among whom he was born.91. If she did not speak with Rebecca on the tender subject, she compensated herself with long and intimate conversation with Mrs. Blenkinsop, the house keeper, who droppedsome hints to the lady’s maid, who may have cursorily mentioned the matter to the cook, who carries the news, I have no doubt, to all the tradesmen.92. A notion has taken hold in the United States to the effect that the only people who should be encouraged to bring children into the world are those who can afford them.93. I visited the neighboring villages, and added greatly to my stock of knowledge, by noting their habits and customs, and conversing with their sages and great men.94. From the standpoint of the developing countries, the next decade should see a greatly accelerated program for scientific and technological co-operation, aimed at wide-spread dissemination of technology for meeting the basic needs of man, such as nutrition, shelter, communications, health and sanitation.95. There is, of course, no single pattern of American characters any more than there is a single English or Turkish or Chinese character.96. There is much to be desired for the government to crack down bribery and corruption.97. Examinations test your knowledge and your ability to apply your knowledge, but not very much more. What is o often forgotten is that there are many valuable qualities which cannot be tested by examinations. Can you imagine, for instance, an examination in tact or good manners, in kindness or in honesty?98 Not only do Englishmen get several different sorts of weather in one day, but they may very well get a spell of winter in summer and vice versa.99. The 21st century executive must be a global strategist, working as deftly in Tokyo as in New York. He sees ---then seizes---markets worldwide.100. Someone once remarked that the British and the Americans are two peoples separated by the same language. Most epigrams exaggerate for effect, and this one is no exception. But it is, nevertheless, undeniably true that some commonly used words mean different things in these two cultures.Consider the seemingly single term-"the government." To parliamentarians trained in British terminology, "the government" means "the cabinet: a group of the legislature's own members, chosen by it to devise public policies, to manage the legislature's major activities, and to exercise executive powers.。
