To this end，the international community should foster a new energy security outlook featuring mutually beneficial cooperation，diversified development and coordinated supply. Joint efforts must be made to stabilize the prices of energy and other commodities and prevent excessive speculation and market hype，so as to meet the energy demands of all countries，particularly the developing countries，and maintain order in the energy market. Meanwhile，countries should improve their own energy mix，promote the research，development and diffusion of advanced technologies，vigorously develop clean and renewable energies，and actively advance international cooperation in relevant fields.中国政府高度重视能源和能源安全问题。
2010年5月CATTI笔译三级【笔译实务】真题
全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试2010年5月英语三级《笔译实务》试卷试题部分：Section1:English-Chinese Translation(英译汉)Translate the following passage into Chinese.LECCO,Italy—Each morning,about450students travel along17school bus routes to10elementary schools in this lakeside city at the southern tip of Lake Como. There are zero school buses.In2003,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 a retro-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,100children,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 mile each way until he started taking the piedibus.“I get to see my friends and we feel special because 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 than100,000miles 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 transportation’s contribution to greenhouse-gas emissions.The“school run”made up 18percent of car trips by urban residents of Britain last year,a national surveyIn1969,40percent of students in the United States walked to school;in2001,the most recent year data was collected,13percent 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.Section2:Chinese-English Translation(汉译英)Translate the following passage into English.全球气候变化深刻影响着人类生存和发展，是各国共同面临的重大挑战。

When you first drift off into slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit, with the alpha rhythm predominating for the first few minutes. This is the first stage of sleep. For the next 30 minutes or so, you will drift down through Stage 2 and Stage 3. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. About 40-60 minutes after you lose consciousness, you will reach the last stage. Your brain waves will show the delta rhythm. You may think that you stay at this deep stage all the rest of the night, but that turns out not to be the case. About 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your activity cycle will increase slightly. The delta rhythm will disappear, to be replaced by the activity pattern of Rapid Eye Movements lasts for 8-15 minutes and is called REM sleep. During both light and deep sleep, the muscles in your body are relaxed but capable of movement. As you slip into REM sleep, a very odd thing occurs — most of the voluntary muscles in your body become paralyzed. Although your brain shows very rapid bursts of neural activity during REM sleep, your body is incapable of moving. REM sleep is accompanied by extensive muscular inhibition. 91. On the part of an average sleeper, there ____ of sleep in cycles.A. is one stageB. are two stagesC. are six stagesD. are four stages 92. When a person falls into the state of sleep, his ____.

It isn't often that one has the chance to congratulate a noted woman writer on her 80th birthday. So on October 5 last year, when I went to Bing Xin's house, I felt very excited. I explained that I hoped she would tell me something about how she became a poet. "I haven't written poetry for many years," she said smiling. "But I still love to read good poetry."Bing Xin was fortunate to have parents who encouraged her to study and write. When she was attending a women's college in Beijing in 1919, an event occurred which changed the whole course of her life. That was the May 4th Movement, a patriotic democratic movement started by students in Beijing. The mass demonstrations made a deep impression on her. She threw herself into the struggle and was put in charge of publicity by the Student Union. She wrote poems, articles and stories, attacking imperialism and feudalism in its various forms.Going to the U.S. in 1923 to study literature, she wrote down her impressions on the way and during her stay there. These were published in the collection To Little Readers. The book brought her instant fame, not only because she was a woman writer, but also because of the noble sentiments in the book. Quite a few younger writers say it was Bing Xin's writings that started them on the road they have since followed.2004.11几个星期前,我问一个14岁的朋友,在学校的学习情况。

She was born in Senegal; Africa; about 1753 and brought to America aboard a slave ship at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave auction in Boston in 1761 to be a personal servant of Mrs. Wheatley. The family had three other slaves; and all were treated with respect. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family; which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley's twin 15-year-old children; Mary and Nathaniel. At that time; most females; even from better families; could not read and write; but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston. Mary wanted to become a teacher; and in fact; it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis's education. Phyllis soon displayed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually; Mrs. Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian. At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation after she wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common practice in Boston to have "Mrs. Wheatley's Phyllis" read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771; and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health; as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer's three children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren't interested.Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel; who was now a businessman; to London. It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects; Religious and Moral. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors died in 1777; and Mary died in 1778; Phyllis was freed as a slave. She married in 1778; moved away from Boston; and had three children. But after the unhappy marriage; she moved back to Boston; and died in poverty at the age of thirty.What does the passage mainly discussA Slavery and the treatment of the black people in America.B The Wheatley family; including their slaves.C The life of America's first black poet.第2题The underlined word "respect" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toA considerationB disregardC punishment第3题According to the passage; how many slaves did the Wheatley's haveA One.B Two.C Three.D Four.第4题According to the passage; an unusual feature of Mary was that sheA was not much older than PhyllisB wanted to become a teacherC was comparatively well educatedD decided to take charge of Phyllis's education第5题The underlined word "eventually" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toA ultimatelyB slowlyC reluctantlyD gradually第6题Which of the following is NOT true about Phyllis in the early 1770s A She wrote her first poem when in her teens.B She married in 1771.C She became a teacher.D She was able to get her poems published.第7题The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.A publishersB poemsC childrenD black people第8题It can be inferred that Phyllis's trip to England with Nathaniel in 1773 ______.A did not improve her healthB was for business reasonsC led to books of her poems being available in AmericaD led to the publication of her poems because the English were more interested in religious and moral subjects第9题The word "extolling" is closest in meaning to ______.A welcomingB statingC bemoaningD praising第10题Which of the following conclusions about Phyllis is supported by the passageA She would have been more recognized as a poet if she had not been black.B She would have written poetry if she had stayed in Africa.C She went unrecognized as a poet during her lifetime.D She only wrote religious poetry.第11题About fifty years ago; plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks. The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However; they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by roots require energy; of course. The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP; which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also requires oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins; and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals. In addition; roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds. This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing; they produce protein; but only mature leaves can "export" protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids.What is the main topic of the passageA The relationship between a plant's roots and its shoots.B What can be learned by growing roots in isolation.C How plants can be grown without roots.D What elements are necessary for the growth of plants.第12题The underlined word "themselves" in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.A plant physiologistsB solutionsC laboratory flasksD roots第13题The scientists found what the isolated roots need is ______.A quite naturalB sugar; minerals and vitaminsC some rare vitaminsD organic nitrogen compounds第14题Roots have the ability to ______.A make proteinsB obtain fresh airC produce inorganic nitrogenD carry out activities without energy第15题According to the passage; what is ATPA A biochemical process.B The tip of a root.C A chemical compound.D A type of plant cell.第16题The underlined word "intact" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A matureB wildC wholeD tiny第17题The use of the phrase "comes in handy" underlined in Paragraph 2 indicates that the process is ______.A unavoidableB predictableC necessaryD successful第18题It can be inferred from the passage that; in the early spring; the buds of plants ______.A "export" protein in the form of amino acidsB do not require waterC have begun photosynthesizingD obtain organic compounds from the root第19题Which of the following best describes the organization of the passageA The results of two experiments are compared.B A generalization is made; and several examples of it are given.C The findings of an experiment are explained.D A hypothesis is presented; and several means of proving it are suggested.第20题Where is this passage likely to be foundA A newsletter.B A magazine.C A storybook.D A novel.第21题Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply. For example; the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost. Since the early twentieth century; success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized; these include vanillin; the aromatic ingredient in vanilla; and benzaldehyde; the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances; however; have dozens; even hundreds of components. Only recently has it been possible to separate and identify these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known; it is often possible to synthesize them. Nevertheless; some complex substances; such as the aroma of fresh coffee; have still not been duplicated satisfactorily. Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature; and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances. New products must be tested for safety; and when used in food; must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products; from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied "new car odor."From the passage we can learn that ______.A natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dearB the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clearC the supply of natural flavorings and fragrances is adequate to meet the demandD the cost of producing natural flavorings and fragrances is high第22题Which of the following is true according to the passageA Natural rose fragrance is 100 times more expensive to produce than artificial rose fragrance.B The most important ingredient in a rose fragrance is obtained from natural rose oil at a low cost.C A different synthetic substance can be made for 1% of the cost.D Natural rose oil costs the same as its fragrances.第23题The industry of producing hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances probably appeared in ______.A 2000B 1953C 1909D 1810第24题According to the passage; all the following are easier to synthesize EXCEPT ______.A aromatic ingredient in vanillaB vanillaC aromatic ingredient in wild cherryD the flavor of fresh coffee第25题The underlined word "duplicated" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A make doubleB make a copy ofC produce something equal toD take from第26题Why does the author mention fresh coffee in Paragraph 2A As an example of complex substances having not been duplicated satisfactorily.B Because the coffee fragrance is hard to produce.C To conclude the passage.D The smell of fresh coffee is inviting.第27题______; a substance can be synthesized.A Upon identifying the basic components of itB Once chemically analyzedC When gas chromatography is usedD If spectroscopy is adopted第28题It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A vanillin is easier to synthesize than benzaldehydeB not all synthetic flavors are harmlessC in general; the less components there are in a fragrance; the harder it is to synthesizeD synthesized substances must be tested for safety only if they are used in food第29题Which of the following is the best title for the passageA How to Synthesize FragrancesB Synthetic Substances Are Easy to MakeC Natural Flavorings and FragrancesD Synthetic Flavors and Fragrances第30题Which of the following is NOT true according to the last paragraphA Synthetic fragrances can be used to make a used car smell like a new one.B Synthetic flavors and fragrances have added to the varieties of products.C Lemon soap is made out of some delicious lemon.D It is likely that a bottle of orange juice is synthesized.第31题Some people associate migration mainly with birds. Birds do travel vast distances; but mammals also migrate. An example is the caribou; reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada. When the weather turns cold; they travel south until spring. Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air. Another migrating mammal is the Alaska fur seal. These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea. The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over 3;000 miles. Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America. The females and young travel as far as southern California. The males do not journey so far. They swim only to the Gulf of Alaska. In the spring; males and females all return to the islands; and there the cycle begins again. Whales are among the greatest migrators of all. The humpback and blue whales migrate thousands of miles each year from the polar seas to the tropics. Whales eat huge quantities of plankton. These are most abundant in cold polar waters. In winter; the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to theiryoung.From the passage we can learn that ______.A people migrate like animalsB only birds migrateC the female fur seals migrate only to the Gulf of AlaskaD not all mammals migrate第32题The phrase "An example" underlined in Paragraph 1 refers to an example of a ______.A migratory mammalB place where animals migrateC migrating birdD person who associates migration with birds第33题All the mammals are mentioned as migrating ones EXCEPT ______.A caribouB fin whaleC reindeerD Alaska fur seal第34题Where can you see from the air the migration of the mammalsA In the Pribilot Islands.B In the Bering Sea.C In southern California.D In northern Canada.第35题Which of the following is NOT trueA Whales breed in winter.B Young whales are given birth in cold waters.C Alaska fur seals give birth to the young only in one area.D Alaska fur seals are born in warm weather.第36题Together ______ of Alaska fur seals swim down the Pacific Coast of North America.A mothers and the youngB fathers and the youngC parents and the youngD seals and whales第37题Which of the following is NOT described in the passageA Whales migrate to breed and give birth to their young.B Whale-watching in Boston in summer is attracting.C Seals breed in the north before migration.D Reindeer feed on grass.第38题Whales live on ______.A tiny plants and animals in the seaB the grassy slopes of northern CanadaC their young in cold winterD the abundant seafood in tropic waters第39题How many kinds of migrating mammals are mentioned in the passageA Four.B Three.C Two.D One.第40题What is the best title of the passageA Three Types of WhalesB Birds MigrationC Mammals Also MigrateD Several Kinds of Migration第41题Electronic mail has become an extremely important and popular means of communication.The convenience and efficiency of electronic mail are threatened by the extremely rapid growth in the volume of unsolicited commercial electronic mail. Unsolicited commercial electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half of all electronic mail traffic; up from an estimated 7 percent in 2001; and the volume continues to rise. Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or more respects.The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept such mail and who incur costs for the storage of such mail; or for the time spent accessing; reviewing; and discarding such mail; or for both. The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mail and creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages; both commercial and noncommercial; will be lost; overlooked; or discarded amidst the larger volume of unwanted messages; thus reducing the reliability and usefulness of electronic mail to the recipient. Some commercial electronic mailcontains material that many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature.The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet access services; businesses; and educational and nonprofit institutions that carry and receive such mail; as there is a finite volume of mail that such providers; businesses; and institutions can handle without further investment in infrastructure.

真题2011年的三级笔译Section 1 English-Chinese Translation ( 50 points )Translate the following passage into Chinese.This month, the United Nations Development Program made water and sanitation the centerpiece of its flagship publication, the Human Development Report.Claims of a "water apartheid," where poor people pay more for water than the rich, are bound to attract attention. But what are the economics behind the problem, and how can it be fixed? In countries that have trouble delivering clean water to their people, a lack of infrastructure is often the culprit. People in areas that are not served by public utilities have to rely on costlier ways of getting water, such as itinerant water trucks and treks to wells. Paradoxically, as the water sources get costlier, the water itself tends to be more dangerous. Water piped by utilities - to the rich and the poor alike - is usually cleaner than water trucked in or collected from an outdoor tank.The problem exists not only in rural areas but even in big cities, said Hakan Bjorkman, program director of the UN agency in Thailand. Further, subsidies made to local water systems often end up benefiting people other than the poor, he added.The agency proposes a three-step solution. First, make access to 20 liters, or 5 gallons, of clean water a day a human right. Next, make local governments accountable for delivering this service. Last, invest in infrastructure to link people to water mains.The report says governments, especially in developing countries, should spend at least 1 percent of gross domestic product on water and sanitation. It also recommends that foreign aid be more directed toward these problems. Clearly, this approach relies heavily on government intervention, something Bjorkman readily acknowledged. But there are some market-based approaches as well.By offering cut-rate connections to poor people to the water mainline, the private water utility in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, has steadily increased access to clean water, according to the agency's report. A subsidy may not even be necessary, despite the agency's proposals, if a country can harness the economic benefits of providing clean water.People who receive clean water are much less likely to die from water-borne diseases - a common malady in the developing world - and much more likely to enjoy long, productive, taxpaying lives that can benefit their host countries. So if a government is trying to raise financing to invest in new infrastructure, it might find receptive ears in private credit markets - as long as it can harness the return. Similarly, private companies may calculate that it is worth bringing clean water to an area if its residents are willing to pay back the investment over many years.In the meantime, some local solutions are being found. In Thailand, Bjorkman said, some small communities are taking challenges like water access upon themselves. "People organize themselves in groups to leverage what little resources they have to help their communities," he said. "That's especially true out in the rural areas. They invest their money in revolving funds and saving schemes, and they invest themselves to improve their villages. "It is not always easy to take these solutions and replicate them in other countries, though. Assembling a broad menu of different approaches can be the first step in finding the right solution for a given region or country.出处：.nytimes./2006/11/14/business/worldbusiness/14iht-glob15.3535740.htmlSection 2 Chinese-English Translation ( 50 points )Translate the following passage into English.即使遇到丰收年景，对中国来说，要用世界百分之七的耕地养活全球五分之一的人口仍是一项艰巨的任务。

英语三级《笔译实务》试卷（实务科目）2016.11Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.Harper Lee was an ordinary woman as stunned as anybody by the extraordinary success of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”“It was like being hit over the head and knocked cold,” Lee — who died Friday at age 89，said during a 1964 interview. “I didn’t expect the book to sell in the first place. I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of reviewers but at the same time I sort of hoped that maybe someone would like it enough to give me encouragement.”“To Kill a Mockingbird” may not be the Great American Novel. But it’s likely the most universally known work of fiction by an American author over the past 70 years, Lee was cited for her subtle, graceful style and gift for explaining the world through a child’s eye, but the secret to the novel’s ongoing appeal was also in how many books this single book contained.“To Kill a Mockingbird” was a coming-of-age story, a courtroom thriller, a Southern novel, a period piece, a drama about class, and — of course —a drama of race.” All I want to be is the Jane Austen of South Alabama,” she once observed. The story of Lee is essentially the story of her book, and how she responded to it. She was a warm, vibrant and witty woman who played golf, fished, ate at McDonald’s, fed ducks by tossing seed corn out of a Cool Whip tub, read voraciously, and got about to plays and concerts. She just didn’t want to talk about it before an audience.“To Kill a Mockingbird” was an instant and ongoing hit, published in 1960, as the civil rights movement was accelerating. It’s the story of a girl nicknamed Scout growing up in a Depression-era Southern town. A black man has been wrongly accused of raping a white woman, and Scout’s father, the resolute lawyer, defends him despite threats and the scorn of many. Praised by The New Yorker as “skilled, unpretentious, and totally ingenious,” the book won the Pulitzer Prize and was made into a memorable movie in 1962.“Mockingbird” inspired a generation of young lawyers and social workers, was assigned in high schools all over the country and was a popular choice for citywide, or nationwide, reading programs, although it was also occasionally removed from shelves for its racial content and references to rape. By 2015, sales topped 40 million copies.When the Library of Congress did a survey in 1991 on books that have affected people’s lives, “To Kill a Mockingbird” was second only to the Bible. Lee herself became more elusive to the public as her book became more famous. At first, she dutifully promoted her work. She spoke frequently to the press, wrote about herself and gave speeches, once to a class of cadets at West Point.But shebegan declining interviews in the mid-1960s and, until late in her life, firmly avoided making any public comment about her novel or her career.Her novel, while hugely popular, was not ranked by many scholars in the same category as the work of other Southern authors Decades after its publication, little was written about it in scholarly journals. Some critics have called the book naive and sentimental, whether dismissing the Ku Klux Klan as a minor nuisance or advocating change through personal persuasion rather than collective action.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into English.本公司是一家大型国有房地产上市公司，国家一级房地产开发资质企业，连续五年荣膺中国房地产行业领导公司品牌。

目前我国的稀土储量占世界的30%，却长期以来供应了国际97%的市场需求。
我国的稀土储量全球最高。
2010年，中国稀土储量达到3600万吨，占到全球稀土储量的36.4%。
同时中国也是全球最大的稀土生产国，中国稀土矿产量达到12.9万吨，占到全球产量的97%。
中国稀土行业的快速发展，为全球稀土供应作出了重要贡献。
但同时也为此付出了巨大代价。
由于稀土资源的稀缺性和开采高污染性，全球稀土储量国许多厂都关闭了，直接从中国进口稀土。
目前，我国稀土私采乱挖、浪费资源等情况依然猖獗。
一些私采乱挖的矿山，稀土开采的吨回收率甚至只有5%，稀土资源被大量浪费，并由此引发巨大环境问题。
我们需要制定相关政策，减少稀土资源的过度开采。

考试感想：综合：可以看出我两次综合成绩都不高，大部分人都会上70,80＋的也大有人在，所以我这个综合可以说是非常差了。
这里总结教训就是三个字：背单词！！！我之前是个不爱背单词的人，一般都凭着平时多看，然后看熟了自然就记住了，这种方法应对高考还有四六级什么的问题都不大，但是去年底考三笔的时候，我看着综合卷子真的欲哭无泪，选择题有几道中四个选项我一个都不认识，或者是眼熟但是搞不清意思，这就跟不认识是一样的。
所以去年底考完三笔我痛下决心，当天晚上就开始背单词。
背单词这事我是真的不喜欢，所以没有买单词书，因为我知道我买了肯定也不看，所以就下了APP背单词。
我曾经用过拓词，感觉界面很简洁，非常不错，后来开始用百词斩，算是比较有特色的APP，也还不错。

2006年5月人事部三级笔译真题第一部分英译汉Freed by warming, waters once locked beneath ice are gnawing at coastal settlements around the Arctic Circle.In Bykovsky, a village of 457 on Russia's northeast coast, the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks of heating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet a year."It is practically all ice - permafrost - and it is thawing." For the four million people who live north of the Arctic Circle, a changing climate presents new opportunities. But it also threatens their environment, 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. The discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by 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 villages at a projected cost of $100 million or more for each one.Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with 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, Norway's northernmost province, 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. "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 Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance.And yet no amount of government support can convince Mr. 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 were 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 Mr. Eira, sitting inside his 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."A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries itsown rewards and dangers for people in the region. The discovery of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by pollution as generators, smokestacks and large vehicles sprout to support the growing energy industry.第二部分汉译英维护世界和平，促进共同发展，谋求合作共赢，是各国人民的共同愿望，也是不可抗拒的当今时代潮流。

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. Now86,his eyes grew cloudy as he recalled his first mining job.He was12,and earned$1a day.“I’m retired,so I’ll be fine.But these young guys?”Pete Palacios said,his voice trailing off.汉译英：天柱县位于贵州省东部，是川渝黔通往两广、江浙的重要门户。

The time for this section is 75 minute.Questions 51-56 are based on the following passage.Awardedthe Nobel Prize for physics in 1918, German physicist Max Planck is bestremembered as the originator of the quantum theory. His work helped usher in anew era in theoretical physics and revolutionized the scientific community’sunderstanding of atomic and subatomic processes.Planck introduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Planck worked out an equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of low to highfrequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later calledquantums. The energy associated with each quantum is measured by multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus, energy, or E, equals hv. The constant,h, is known as Planck’s constant. It is now recognized as one of the fundamental constants of the world.Planck announced his findings in 1900, but it was years before the full consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and statistical mechanics, physical chemistry, among other fields.51.In which of the following fields did Max Planck not makea significantcontribution?A.Optics.B.

In 1907 a special commission decided that themodern game was invented by Abner Doubleday in 1839. One hundred years later the National Baseball Museum was opened to honor Doubleday. Historians, however, disagree about the origin of baseball. Some say that baseball comes from bat-and-ball games of ancient times. It is a matter ofrecord that in the 1700s English boys played a game they called “baseball”.Americans have played a kind of baseball since about 1800. At first the American game had different rules and differentnames in various parts of the country —“town ball”, “rounders”, or “one oldcat”. Youngsters today still play some of these simplified forms of thegame.Baseball did not receive a standard set of rules until 1845, when Alexander Cartwright organized the Knickerbocker Baseball Club of New York City. The rulesCartwright set up for his nine-player team were widely adopted by other clubs and formed the basis of modern baseball. The game was played on a “diamond” infieldwith the bases 90 feet apart. The first team to score 21 runs was declared the winner. By 1858 the National Association of Baseball Players was formed with 25 amateur teams.The Cincinnati Red Stockings began to pay players in 1869.57.Which of the following is true about the origins of baseball?A.Historians agree that baseball was invented by Abner Doubleday.B.Baseball, as played in the early 19th century, differed verylittle fromtoday’s game.C.As early as the 1700s, English boys played a game called “baseball.”D.The first standard set of baseball rules was established at the turn ofthe century.58.What was the first professional baseball team called?A.New York Knickerbockers.B.

One old cat.61.The tone of the passage is .A.persuasiveB. informativeC. biasedD. argumentative62. The passage implies that until 1869, baseball was played for all of the following reasonsexcept .A.exerciseB. leisureC. profitD. socializingQuestions 63-68are based on the following passage.Theblue of the sea is caused by the scattering of sunlight by tiny particlessuspended in the water. Blue light, being of short wavelength, is scattered more efficiently than light of longer wavelengths. Althoughwaters of the open ocean are commonly some shade of blue, green water iscommonly seen near coasts, especially in tropical or subtropical regions. Thisis caused by yellow pigments being mixed with blue water. Phytoplankton are onesource of the yellow pigment. Other microscopic plants may color the waterbrown or brownish-red. Near the shore, silt or sediment in suspension can give water a brownish hue. Outflow of large rivers can often be observed many miles offshore by thecoloration of suspendedsoil particles.Marine phytoplankton (Greek for “plant wanderers”) are microscopic single-celled plants that include diatoms, dinoflagellates, coccolithophorids, green algae, and blue-green algae, among others. The growth of these organisms, whichphotosynthesize light, depends on a delicate balance of nutrient enrichment via vertical mixing, which is often limited by the availability of nitrogen and light. Diatoms are one-celled plants with patterned glass coverings. Each glass, or silicon dioxide box, is ornamented with species-specific designs, pits, and perforations making them popular with microscopists and, morerecently, electron scanning microscopists.63.Green water near coastlines is almost always caused by .A.sand colorB.red pigments in coastal watersC.blue pigmentD.reflected light and yellow pigment from plant life64.Phytoplankton are the source of which color pigment?A.Red.B. Green.C. Yellow.D. Blue.65.What can give waters a brownish hue near the shore?A.Sediment.B. Phytoplankton.C. Blue pigment.D. Diatoms.66.Which of the following is not a type of phytoplankton?A.Green algae.B. Diatoms.C. Blue-green algae.D. Amoeba.67.The growth of phytoplankton is often limited by the availability of .A.oxygenB. hydrogenC. nitrogenD. carbon dioxide68.The main idea of this passage is that .A.light causes sea colorB.sea coloration is varied because of a combination of length of light waves and microscopic plant life and siltC.microscopic plant life causes sea colorD.water composition causes sea colorQuestions 69-75are based on the following passage.The United States government publishes guidelines for appropriate nutrient intakes. These are known as the RecommendedDietary Allowances (RDAs) and are updated regularly based on new research in nutrition. RDAs are suggested amounts of calories, protein, and some minerals and vitamins for an adequate diet. For other dietary substances, specific goals must await further research. However, forthe U.S. population as a whole, increa sing starch and fiber in one’s diet andreducing calories (primarily from fats, sugar, and alcohol) is sensible. These suggestions are especially appropriate forpeople who have other factors for chronic diseases due to family history of obesity, premature heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high blood cholesterol, or for those who usetobacco.Snacks can furnish about one-fourth of the calorie requirements among teenagers. Those snacks should also provide much of the day’s allowances for protein, minerals, and vitamins. Sandwiches, fruit, and milk make good snacksfor active teenagers. Food from the food pyramid may be part of any meal.A grilled cheese sandwich or a bowl of whole-grain cereal is just as nutritious in the morning as it is at noon.In addition, a good breakfast consists of any foods that supply aboutone-fourth of the necessary nutrients for the day.69.

A pearl is the response of a marine mollusk to the presence of an irritating impurity accidentally introduced into its body; a cultured pearl is the result of the intentional insertion of a mother-of-pearl bead into a live mollusk. Whether introduced accidentally or intentionally, the pearl-making process is the same: the mollusk coats the irritant with a substance called nacre. Nacre is composed chiefly of calcium carbonate. Because very few natural pearls are now on the market, most pearls used in fine jewelry are cultured. These include “Biwa” pearls and most other freshwater pearls.

It comes from mental or emotional activity as well as physical activity. It is uniqueand personal to each of us. So personal, in fact, that what may be relaxing toone person may be stressful to another. For example, if you’re a busy executivewho likes to keep occupied all of the time, “taking it easy” at the beach on a beautiful day may be extremely frustrating, nonproductive, and upsetting. You may be emotionally distressed from “doing nothing.” Too much emotional stress can cause physical illnesses such as high blood pressure, ulcers, or even heart disease.

5月英语翻译(CATTI)三级真题：笔译翻译
5月英语翻译（CATTI）三级真题：笔译翻译Stonehenge, England —The prehistoric monument of Stonehenge stands tall in the British countryside as one of the last remnants of the Neolithic Age. Recently it has also become the latest symbol of another era: the new fiscal austerity.Renovations — including a plan to replace the site’s run-down visitors center with one almost five times bigger and to close a busy road that runs along the 5,000-year-old monument —had to be mothballed in June. The British government had suddenly withdrawn ￡10 million, or $16 million, in financing for the project as part of a budget squeeze.Stonehenge, once a temple with giant stone slabs aligned in a circle to mark the passage of the sun, is among the most prominent victims of the government’s spending cuts. The decision was heavily criticized by local lawmakers, especially because Stonehenge, a UnescoWorld Heritage site, was part of London’s successful bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games.The shabby visitors center there now is already too small for the 950,000 people who visit Stonehenge each year, let alone the additional onslaught of tourists expected for the Games, the lawmakers say.Stonehenge is the busiest tourist attraction in Britain’s southwest, topping even Windsor Castle. But no major improvements have been made to the facilities there since they were built 40 years ago.For now, portable toilets lead from a crammed parking lot, via a makeshift souvenir shop in a tent, to a ticket office opposite a small kiosk that sells coffee and snacks.The overhaul was scheduled for next spring. Plans by the architectural firm Denton Corker Marshall would keep the stone monument itself unchanged. But the currentticket office and shop would be demolished and a new visitors center would be built on the other side of the monument, about two and a half kilometers, or 1.5 miles, from the stones.The center would include a shop almost five times the size of the current one, a proper restaurant, three times as many parking spots and an exhibition space to provide more information about Stonehenge’s history.A transit system would shuttle visitors between the center and the stones while footpaths would encourage tourists to walk to the monument and explore the surrounding burial hills. The closed road would be grassed over to improve the surrounding landscape.Last year, the ￡27 million project won the backing of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. After more than 25 years of bickering with local communities about how and where to build the new center, planning permission was granted in January. Construction was supposed to start next year and be completed in time for the Olympics — but the economic downturn has changed those plans.The new prime minister, David Cameron, has reversed many of his predecessor’s promises as part of a program to cut more than ￡99 billion annually over the next five years to help close a gaping budget deficit. The financing for Stonehenge fell in the first round of cuts, worth about ￡6.2 billion, from the budget for the current year, along with support for a hospital and the British Film Institute.English Heritage, a partly government-financed organization that owns Stonehenge and more than 400 other historic sites in the country, is now aggressively looking for private donations. But the economic downturn has made the endeavor more difficult.Hunched over architectural renderings of the new center, Loraine Knowles, Stonehenge’s project director, said she was disappointed that the government hadwithdrawn money while continuing to support museums in London, like the Tate and the British Museum. But Ms. Knowles said she was hopeful that English Heritage could raise the money elsewhere. Stonehenge, she said, could then also become “a shining example of how philanthropy could w ork.”。

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 c lose down the day care center because it didn’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 — do what needs to be done, whether it is cleaning the streets, raking the leaves, unclogging culverts or planting trees in the park.“I t was an initiative from them,” said Mr. García. “Day to day 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 o f Spain’s troubles. Just 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 town officials who want to know how to do the same thing. He is serving without pay, as 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 for routine 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, andtraditionally 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.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (汉译英) Translate the following passage into English.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。

2013年5月CATTI英译汉参考答案
2013年5月CATTI（全国翻译考试）考试英译汉参考答案For more than a decade，archaeologists and historians have been studying the contents of a ninth-century Arab dhow that was discovered in 1998 off Indonesia’s Belitung Island. The sea-cucumber divers who found the wreck had no idea it eventually would be considered one of the most important maritime discoveries of the late 20th century.1998年在印尼勿里洞岛附近发现了一艘公元九世纪的阿拉伯独桅帆船残骸。
超过十年的时间里，考古学家和历史学家一直在研究这艘沉船的装载物品。
发现此船残骸的海水潜水员没想到的是，这次发现被认为是20世纪后期最重要的海上发现之一。
The dhow was carrying a rich cargo —60，000 ceramic pieces and an array of gold and silver works —and its discovery has confirmed how significant trade was along a maritime silk road between Tang Dynasty China and Abbasid Iraq. It also has revealed how China was mass-producingtrade goods even then and customizing them to suit the tastes of clients in West Asia.这艘独桅帆装载了丰富的货物，包括60,000件陶瓷器和一系列黄金和白银制品，这证实了沿着中国唐朝到伊拉克阿巴斯王朝之间的海上丝绸之路的贸易是多么重要，也揭示了中国是如何大规模生产贸易货物，甚至根据客户需求定制货物，以适应西亚的客户。

CATTI三级笔译英译汉真题2010年5月(总分：50.00，做题时间：120分钟)一、English-Chinese Translation (总题数：1，分数：50.00)1. LECCO, Italy — Each morning, about 450 students travel along 17 school bus routes to 10 elementary schools in this lakeside city at the southern tip of Lake Como. 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 a retro-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 mile each way until he started taking the piedibus. “I get to see my friends and we feel special because 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 elim inated 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 transportation’s contribution to greenhouse-gas emissions. The “school run” made up 18 percent of car trips by urban residents of Britain last year, 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 fi rst 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.（分数：50.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：( 意大利，莱科——每天早上，大约有450名学生沿着17条校车的路线到达科莫湖最南端湖滨城市的10所中小学。

英译汉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 it didn’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 — do what 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 to day 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. Just 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 town officials who want to know how to do the same thing. He is serving without pay, as 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 for routine 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 ofthe 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.Money comes in now and again, the mayor said, from taxes or from the central or regional government. But usually it has to be spent immediately. The last administration, for instance, used European Union money to offer adult education courses, he said. But the program did not attract enough participants. The town recently had to pay a $34,000 fine for that.The town also took European Union money to expand the cafe at the local swimming pool. But the money was spent before the work was even begun, and the town has been fined for that, too.Mr. García says he hears from suppliers every day, begging to be paid. A lot of them are barely surviving. “They say, ‘Please, please,’ ” he said. “They are our neighbors. We know them.“If we don’t pay the oil guy, the school won’t have heat. There isn’t a lot of profit margin for that guy. If he is not paid, we are making him pay for our needs.”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.汉译英中国虽然取得了举世瞩目的发展，但是仍然是世界上最大的发展中国家，经济社会发展面临着巨大的人口、资源、环境压力，发展中不平衡、不协调、不可持续问题依然突出。
