Please fill in the blanks with the appropriate sentences listed below the passage.1. __________________________________________________________________. In this paper we broadly characterize trends in global forest area by intensity of management, and provide an overview of changes in global carbon stocks associated with managed forests.2. __ _____________________________________________________________________. The area of global forests has declined by 3% since 1990 but the area of planted forest has increasedin all regions of the world and now accounts for almost 7% of global forest land. The area of primary forest, which is typically defined as lacking direct human influence, is about 34% of all forest land according to country reports, but the area is declining especially in South America and Africa because of human-caused habitat fragmentation and degradation. 3.________________________ __________________________________________. As a result of increasing management intensity, the area of unmanaged forest, typically defined as land lacking protected status or a management plan, dropped significantly since 1990 and now comprises only 21% of global forests. There have been significant increases in areas of forest used for non-wood forest products such as protection of soil and water, conservation of biodiversity, and provision of social services. Globally, timber production has been relatively stable since 1990, but increasing areas of forest used for non-wood forest products indicates that harvesting is taking place on a smaller proportion of the total forest area. 4._______________________________________________________________. Established forests currently offset about 30% of global emissions of CO2 from fossil fuel use, and there are mitigation opportunities involving forests that could increase the gross terrestrial C uptake from roughly 4.0 to 6.2 Pg C annually. 5. _____________________________________________ ______________________. In the future, indirect human influences such as increasing atmospheric CO2 and climate change, along with the direct effects of land management and projected increasing demand for wood biofuel, are likely to become increasingly important elements that influence land management strategies and the role of forests in the global carbon cycle.A. Concurrently, the area of naturally regenerated forest that is not classified as primary forest hasdeclined.B. We discuss different interpretations of ‘‘management’’ and highlight some important accountingand analysis issues.C. Global forests are increasingly affected by land-use change, fragmentation, changing management objectives, and degradation.D. However, our results suggest that a diversifying use of forest land may have significant consequences for maintaining or increasing the current rate of terrestrial carbon sequestration.E. Based on trends in the area of managed forest and regional studies, it is clear that historical and current forest management has been a very significant determining factor of current carbon stocks.Part IV Cloze (10 points, 1 point each)There is no doubt that air pollution is a global crisis: it causes an annual death 1 of 6.5 million. That is double the total number of people lost 2 HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria 3 , and four times the number killed on the world’s roads.

Read each passage carefully, and then do the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and answer the questions on your Answer Sheet.Passage OneDespite the enormous contribution of the music industry to the UK economy and the huge benefits to children, the government remains quiet about its importance in schools, but instead announced plans to try mental health training for pupils recently. It has not dawned on politicians that this can be achieved through the arts.Music education has become harder to access since 2010, when new measures were introduced to boost the number of students studying science and languages, and since then the number of students taking music at A-level has dropped by about 9% as teachers homed in on “academic” subjects.Children are compelled to take up private tuition, putting those who cannot afford such lesso ns at a disadvantage. In 2014, the National Children’s Orchestra of Great Britain found that out of its members aged 7 to 13, nearly 70% of those at state school received private education. In 2012-13, only 10% of music students at universities came from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.But that’s not the only problem. For a creative subject, music has always been taught in a far too academic way, meaning that theoretical knowledge is the main route to advancement. While there are routes into musical careers for the untrained, there are also dozens of choirs and amateur collectives that put a huge focus on musical notation.This is an obscure, tricky language that can only be read by a small number of people, most of whom have benefited from private education. Children who cannot comprehend it are written off even when they are capable performers.The insistence on theoretical understanding is supported by the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music, which sets the most widely-used music exams. To meet its requirements, pupils must work through limited repertoires of old, mostly classical music, focusing their efforts on mastering musical literacy, above songwriting, composing or enjoyment.So there is not only a wealthy elite presiding over music, but an academic one, which decides what sort of knowledge and ability make children competent –even though, like artists, musicians vary immensely in their tastes, tools and learning mechanisms.Sure, we may not be able to tell the difference between a low sound and a high sound, but we can play our favorite songs. That is all I wanted from music.I worry that the current state of play means many children are locked out. As a discipline, music needs to attract a bigger crowd. Diversity breeds diversity, and teaching is where this needs to start.1.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that ______.A.politicians are aware of the importance of musicB.music education is worsening around the countryC.arts have little to do with mental health trainingD.students prefer music to science or languages2.Which of the following is NOT one of the problems with music education?A.Children have to receive private music education.B.Excessive weight is given to theoretical knowledge.C.Music tests focus on knowledge of classical music.D.Children are taught to write songs or compose music.3.In Paragraph Eight, the author expresses the belief that ______.A.learners of music should try to be professionalB.music can be learned from your favorite songsC.music is learned mainly for personal enjoymentD.many people actually know little about music4.The author argues in the last paragraph that ______.A.current teaching methods of music lack varietyB.classical music should be made more popularC.not everyone can become a great musicianD.music learning requires rigorous disciplines5.It can be inferred from this passage that advanced music education in the UK ______.A.has become much more accessibleB.will be written off from school curriculaC.is now mainly for the white and the wealthyD.is absolutely unnecessary in high schoolsPassage TwoYou can’t predict the future, but in Silicon Valley you can invent it. This is a popular saying at some companies that deliver digital delights. But underneath the surface of modernity, openness and progress there’s a problem that technology can’t fix. Relatively young white males overwhelmingly run Silicon Valley firms and are stealing our future.Facebook is more than a social hub. It has become an important centralizing authority for news. More than 40% of American adults rely on the social network to stay on top of the news. However, its trending news stories are softly manipulated by free-willed people.Another example of Silicon Valley bias is the almost complete absence of the female perspective. These large companies are really designing the future unless the many can introduce the few to some more diverse perspectives about what’s useful or important.Another big problem is that these corporations seem to know very little or care even less about other people. This bold claim has some basis in brain science –––all tech people are slightly autistic. Autism (自闭症) can be a useful trait for seeking technical brilliance, but becomes an obstacle if a general naiveté about human beings is translated directly into the design of products and services used worldwide.How digital technologies enhance or diminish our humanity depends largely upon how much developers of technologies care about their fellow beings.Privacy is a good example. If internet culture is autistic, this could explain how some companies can regard privacy as accidental damage, how some companies constantly ignore or offend customers, and how some technology companies can’t see that an open, connected and copyright-free world isn’t neces sarily better for everyone.Jonathan Franzen has said that the internet is “an incredible concentrator of wealth in the hands of the few while giving the appearance of voice and the appearance of democracy to people who are in fact being exploited by the t echnologies.”But if you’re an autistic corporation, you probably can’t see that “free” can come at a cost, that some privacy is fundamental to functioning government, that physical presence can matter or that some people don’t want to be online all the ti me or read everything on a screen.After all, technology is a choice, not a destiny. We shape our future by the decisions we make today. We still have time to push things along in any direction we wish, commanding, altering and deleting technologies as we see fit.6.Silicon Valley is mentioned in this passage to ______.A.highlight its important role in digital technologyB.list the digital delights that have been deliveredC.impress us with the young executives thereD.illustrate its profound influence on our future7.It can be inferred from Paragraph Two that Facebook ______.A.has been a reliable source of newsB.can determine the popularity of newsC.is no longer a social hub in the USD.is the fastest source of news reports8.According to Paragraph Four, autism ______.A.poses a big challenge to technical breakthroughsB.can hinder product design and services in some casesC.is a strong personality trait of all brilliant scientistsD.is prevalent among people engaged in brain science9.The central idea of Paragraph Six is that ______.A.technology companies care about our privacyB.the internet culture is by no means autisticC.technological advances will enhance humanityD.our humanity is diminished by tech companies10.This passage is intended to argue that young white males in Silicon Valley ______.A.can serve as role models worldwideB.are stealing the future from the othersC.cannot shape the future of any of usD.can help to make our future much betterPassage ThreeThe Department for Education is considering new penalties for students who plagiarise essays, for 50,000 students had been caught cheating on their university degrees in the three years before. With a generation paying£50,000 for their degree, is anybody surprised that a university education now feels like another asset that can simply be bought?Since tuition fees were introduced in the 1990s, a number of changes have taken place that have made the decision of whether to go to university more about your ability to afford it and less about your desire to learn.Fees have increased drastically since then, and scholarships have been removed for the poorest students, who will inevitably end up paying more, as it will take them longer to pay off their loans. This sends a very clear message to students: the right grades aren’t enough t o get you into university. You need money to pay for it. Buying essays is clearly wrong, but it feels like the logical extension of an education that comes with a high and rising price tag.For many people, university is about knowledge or self-improvement. The government insists that students will end up earning more if they go to university – and so, for many, a degree feels like a route to a career rather than an opportunity to learn. For students who feel they’re just buying a rubber stamp, what’s the p oint in putting in the effort?There are many ways to purchase your degree. You read your pre-decided list of writers, normally white male authors who have been on the list for years – often past the time when their novels felt culturally relevant or their theories genuinely held water. In fact, you don’t even have to read these writers – you can just go on to find a summary. Then you make some common criticisms that have probably been made by many others before.When large amounts of money are necessary to attend university, and degrees are increasingly described simply as a route to a profitable job, it’s not surprising that a pure interest in education is discarded.I find the sudden dismay about all this cheating a joke. Of course action should be taken - cheating is a serious offence. But we might want to ask how we got into this position in the first place. The £50,000 cost of a degree, rather than the comparative pennies spent on stolen essays, might be the first place to look.11. Cheating as mentioned in this passage mainly involves .A. taking others’ ideas as one’s ownB. copying answers from class notesC. receiving text messages on testsD. helping each other on a test12. The consequences of the rising tuition fees include the following except .A. weakened interest of students in learningB. a heavier financial burden on poor studentsC. harsher punishment for cheating on essaysD. the belief that a college degree is a commodity13. Paragraph Five is concerned with .A. how to buy a degree onlineB. how to plagiarize essaysC. how to use references onlineD. how to write a good thesis14. It seems to the author that .A. people should be tolerant of cheating on testsB. ways of cheating on tests have become diverseC. stealing essays is always expensive and riskyD. the high cost of a degree is the root of trouble15. The central idea of this passage is that .A. more students cheat, for a degree is considered a commodityB. rising tuition fees make higher education less accessibleC. cheating on university degrees has different causesD. plagiarism and cheating on tests should be punishedPassage FourRetail is tough. Customers have to be able to figure out which item will best suit their needs while retailers need to make sure their customers are happy enough with their purchases to keep them. One way to serve both needs is with a solid “try before you buy” system, which lets consumers get some hands-on time with items before committing to a full purchase. This is even more useful when customers are looking for big-ticket items like fancy wearables and high-end cameras. Big-box electronics retailer Best Buy has partnered with gadget rental startup Lumoid toprovide just such a system, which is due later this month.According to ReCode, Best Buy you will soon be able to rent items like cameras, wearables and audio devices with a featured button on Best Buy’s website. However, a Best Buy spokesperson confirmed to Engadget that a remotely controlled micro-aircraft will not be on offer through the rental service.Best Buy’s website will have a button that sends you to Lumoid’s site to manage the actual rental of these items, many of which may be “open box” returns instead of new items. You’ll earn about 20 percent of the rental price in Lumoid credits, which can then be applied to a purchase of the rented item. Best Buy gets to breathe new life into items people have already bought and customers get to check out big-ticket items for a low monthly fee.This new program could give Best Buy an advantage over Amazon, which does not currently offer a similar rental service. Letting customers rent a higher-priced item like a Sonos speaker, Sony Alpha camera or Apple Watch could get them the time they need with the device to decide if the purchase is worth it. Lumoid’s founder, Aarthi Ramamurthy, says that wear ables get the highest conversion rate from rental to purchase, with one in three renters deciding to buy after the try. We’ve reached out to Lumoid for more details on this partnership and will update this post.Have you found anything that catches your fancy online? Why not try Lumoid to save yourself money? Once you have purchased a gadget this way, you will wonder why such business was not started earlier. Remember that retail is not all about quality and price. In some cases, innovation is what counts.16. The first paragraph is intended to .A. point out the difficulty in retailB. introduce a new approach to retailC. compare Best Buy with LumoidD. give tips on the selection of goods17. The underlined words in Paragraph One probably mean a period of time that .A. is not only big-ticket, but also high-endB. is extremely uncomfortable but uniqueC. can provide direct practical experienceD. allows you to put your hands on something18. Which of the following is true about Lumoid?A. It is a well-known electronics retailer.B. It is a company that has a long history.C. Customers can rent almost anything.D. Items for rent are mostly returned goods.19. It can be inferred from Paragraph Four that .A. the “try before you buy” system worksB. Amazon is going to offer the same serviceC. wearables are not suitable for the rental serviceD. Lumoid alters some of the returned clothes20. Which of the following summarizes the main idea of this passage?A. You can rent cheap wearables at a low price at Lumoid.B. Best Buy will let you rent gadgets before purchase.C. Returned goods bring heavy losses to retailers.D. Rent a house or purchase a house? Try Best Buy.Part VI Translation (20 points)Section A (10 points)Directions: Put the following paragraph into Chinese.

In autumn, oak and maple and birch set up a blaze of color that flamed and flickered across a backdrop of pines. Then foxes barked in the hills and deer silently crossed the fields, half hidden in the mists of the fall mornings.Section B (10 points)Directions: Put the following paragraph into English.

北京林业大学研究生英语学位考听力参考资料Unit 1 HolidaysIntroduce one of your favorite holidays.Spring festival is my favorite holidays. I The festival is considered the most important one for Chinese people. It is on the first day of lunar year. It is also the day of reunion among family members. During these days, people would say "happy new year! or wish you make fortune! to each other. They would also visit their relatives and friends. Children would be given "red packets". Children would have more to eat and play than usual .Playing firecrackers is also a popular game for children.Unit 2 TravelIntroduce one of the tourist attractions in the world or China.The strange pines, absurd stones, sea of clouds and hot springs are the four wonders of Mt. Huangshan.Huangshan pines are seen in every corner of Mt. Huangshan. You will be amazed by their vitality and strength.Spectacular rocky peaks will inspire your imagination. Some look like human beings, animals or many other objects.The clouds are forever changing, from being like a mirror when all is calm to rolling waves when the wind is strong.To be able to refresh yourself in the hot springs on Mt. Huangshan must be one of the best ways of enjoyment and relaxation.Unit 3 EducationState your ideas on college education reforms in China.In China, college education has carried out reforms for several years. From the difficulty of graduates’ job hunting, we can see some problems on college education.First, it is good for college education paying more attention to students’ all-around development. But students always have an inaccurate recognition on it. They spend more time on campus activities and less time on specialty study. And their aim of study is just to get credits.Second, the exam in college especially the specialty exam is too easy compared to the need of application. If the colleges have strict standards for qualified graduates, maybe the students will study harder and master skills.Third, the college should provide as many practices as possible for students. The best way of study is to combine theory to practice. And it is the best method to examine the students’ level. Chinese education system has long been criticized of obliterating personality. The exam-oriented education ranked students more by their memory than creative minds. n being.Unit 4 TransportationTalk about the causes of Beijing’s traffic jams and some suggestions to solve the problem.1 With people's needs for transport facilities increasing substantially over the past few years,the road network in Beijing is far from rational. Population increasing2 In Beijing, most of the important political, commercial and cultural locations are concentrated in the area within the Fourth Ring Road and this is a root cause of today's heavy traffic load, according to Liu.3 private cars increasingSuggestions1.The commission is also working on plans to strengthen administration of both the transport industry and traffic order, 4 at the same time fostering a modern traffic consciousness among citizens.2 public transport using3 Construction of road infrastructure ,just like the overpass 4Unit 5 ComputersIs the booming of the Internet a blessing or a curse?On the positive side, the emergence of the Internet to make person-to-person communication more convenient in various forms.People could send E-mail,chat though instant messenger and logon the bbs to find the people they want to talk as well as to get useful information they need.Take ourselves for examples, if we are going to write thesis,we haveto search for lots of papers already been published.In this way it made our work easier.Another advantage is the online shops.Because there is no more rent, water and electricity fees topay,maybe the online shopping will be a bit cheaper.On the other side,we also have to admit that the network has brought us a number of negative factors. The Internet is inundated with ungraceful pictures and videos.At the sametime due to the well-developed search engines, it is easy to divulge private information.In China, "human meat search" is well-known for figuring out some bad guys have done bad things.Just because they have left few pieces information, a group of specilized people would find out their name, age, address or even their primary school report card.Online shopping also have disadvantages,for example, you can't try on the clothes or the shoes you want to buy,thereare online cheating and so much trouble in rejecting the goods.Unit 6 EnvironmentTalk about a major environmental problem in China.Nowadays the urgent environmental problem faced in China is connected with the water. Although from the whole nation China is rich in water resources, the average water consumption per person is only 1/4 compared with the world average level. According a recent survey,bothcities and villeges are suffered from water shortage, about 400 out of 660 cities lack water,with 136 having reported sever water shortage. The distribution of water resources is also not balancing, the south faces floods, while the north is drought.Not only lack in quantity, but also significant problem in the quality. Now the country is facing the fact that in partial improvement but overall still devastating. Water pollution could cause many other things,such as the sequencing environmental pollution, strained water resources and other public hazards.I remember in 2005,the leak of a chemical factory polluted the Songhuajiang.Not only affected the Chinese, but also neiboring Russian residents. The goverment paid a lot on this accident.Unit 7 SportsWhat has the Olympics 2008 brought to Beijing?In my own opinion,there are both positive and negtive influences to China.Because of the long history and bright culture,many foreigners are astonished by the 2008 Olympics opening ceremony.And there is no doubt that excellent jobs done by the numerous volunteers also win their deserved respects.Fortunately, I was a volunteer working at......Of course,the game brought many unfavorable memories.During the Olympics,there were many traffic restrictions and lots of the citizens had to change their schedual to go to work...The increasing numble of tourists also caused a heavy burden to the environment. Spent a lot of human and material resources,Inevitable wastage,Unit 8 Food and RestaurantsMake some comments on Chinese food and its culture.China is a country of great population,long history as well as vast territory.Due to the diversity of the climate,products and customs,there are widely different food styles and taste in local regions.There are four major dishes enjoy upper reputation.Color smelting taste is the features of Chinese food. Vivid kinds of restaurants judgement to a personUnit 9 Science and TechnologyDescribe one of your favorite scientific inventions widely used in life.NotebookUnit 10 JobsMake some comments on the difficulty of job hunting for college graduates.From the subjective aspects, there are two major facors resulting from the phenomenon.In myopinion,the key problem is that many graduates waste their time in colleges,and don't learn anything useful for their career.They lack ablities, so they can't find a job.I don't belive the student who done an excellent work both in study and social activities would acknowledge hard to find a occupation after graduate.I do not deny that the objective facts also exist.The high enrollment of college education cause the diploma less and less valuable.And also it is a pitty that the world economy is in the depreesion.Many cooperations reduce their bussiness which means not only they would downsizing there scale,but also recruit less employees。

Now, on most Saturdays in the months loosely called summer, it is possible to see family saloons loaded with picnics and crammed to bursting with several generations of pleasure-bent …Smiths‟. Like competitors in some grossly disorganized rally, they nose their way through the neat drab streets of council estates, converging on the main roads, then crawl as best they can out into the open country and towards the coast. Congestion and the frustration of wasting precious time at the receiving end of someone else‟s exhaust fumes gets the pursuit of enjoyment off to bad start; tempers become frayed. Children, traditionally the target for fathers‟ ill-humor, are singled out for s pecial treatment. The past week‟s misdeeds are unearthed and magnified out of all reasonable proportion; mothers leap to their broods‟ defense and, before long, vows that never again will this outing be repeated are being hurled back and forth. Of course, by this time, the children have wisely extracted themselves from the argument and are quietly amusing themselves by looking at their irate elders or gaping at the unfamiliar sight of animals in fields, often so much stranger to them than the corresponding naked shapes they are wont to see in butchers‟ windows. Eventually, tempers partially restored, the sea is in sight. The paraphernalia of enjoyment is set up on teeming beach, sand mysteriously appears in every sandwich, pale industrial legs are exposed in self-conscious nakedness.The children drift away, quite capable of finding enough magic in this exciting, watery world to occupy them fully until they are gathered in again. Fathers and mothers, and quite possibly some members of a previous generation, settle back to receive the sun and dream away the tensions brought to a climax by the journey. Fathers eye with furtive lustfulness and mothers glare with disapproval and envy as the shapely matrons of tomorrow splash and play and race coquettishly around them, spraying water and sand and disturbing any hopes of peace.At length the shadows drop and chill in the air brings an end to the idyll. The lobster skin is painfully covered up and the day‟s debris half-heartedly collected. The family is rounded up and the brief dreams trodden into the sand along with the wasted paper.31. The writer suggests that tempers become frayed because ________.A. there are too many careless drivers on the roadsB. there are too many cars on the roadsC. the cars are crowdedD. the children are irritating32. How do the fathers react when angry?A. They stop the children misbehaving.B. They complain about the children‟s wrongdoing.C. They are easy to quarrel with the mothers.D. They shout at their wives.33. What do they find when they finally stop?A. There are sandwich stalls erected there.B. There are factory workers sunbathing.C. The beach is very crowded.D. The beach is covered with a lot of paraphernalia.34. Why are mothers liable to give disapproving looks?A. They resent their husbands‟ admiration of the intruders.B. They are angry at being disturbed when they want peace and quiet.C. They haven‟t yet recovered from the effects of the journey.D. They are jealous because these people are in better shape than they are.35. When they prepare to leave, they ________.A. carefully pack away the lobsters they have caughtB. put plasters on the places where they have been hurtC. cover over their debris with waste paperD. dress carefully to avoid any further irritationPassage TwoEvery market activity is an investment in time, energy and money. Few Companies would spend a large sum of money on, say, a purchase of capital equipment without a full investigation into why it is needed, the choices available, and the expected return on what has been spent. Yet every year the vast majority of companies invest a large amount of money in marketing actions without knowing what their financial worth to the company or likely return will be. By introducing the disciplines arising from market planning, a company should be able to ensure that the costs of marketing planning show a reasonable return and are calculated in the same way as all other business investments.Many managers believe that the costs of marketing form an additional expense that has to be accepted in order to sell their goods. Whilst it is true that many companies use certain tools of marketing for this purpose, it is also true that the most successful companies accept marketing as an essential part of the company‟s t otal commercial operation, for it is an essential cost in the same way as production or finance. Companies often avoid planning marketing procedures in detail because of the effort needed to express their forward policy in a written form. Managers commonly consider that their time is too valuable to spend on anything other than urgent operational problems. In fact, the manager who spends his time on dealing with current administrative detail is almost certain to have ignored proper planning in the past. For, if properly prepared, the marketing plan will contain sufficient details of the company‟s policy and operational strategy for the work to be done by an assistant. As the many alternative courses of action are programmed, the assistant takes any actions or decisions which are appropriate. Only unusual situations need be dealt with by the manager.The first step in preparing a marketing plan is that of producing the informationnecessary for decision making. Usually, a company will have within its own admin istration and control system the raw material necessary for the plan‟s foundations. In addition, there is plenty of published information which is made available by government departments, institutions and the press.Marketing research is yet to be fully exploited by the majority of companies. It has so far only been used by companies that have recognized that their existing information sources are inadequate. Because of the scale of operations that now confronts the typical businessman, it is essential that investment decisions are based upon relevant information, so reducing the business risk.For a marketing-oriented activity to produce lasting results the entire operation has to be systematically planned. By producing basic information in written form and establishing aims for the future, the company is creating standards against which actual performance can be measured. Documentation of detailed policy actions then provides the basis for controlling the company‟s operation. Future trends may be predicted through the investigation of all factors likely to influence company results.36. The amount of money spent on marketing by most companies each year _____.A. equals the amount spent on capital equipmentB. does not give a good return on the investmentC. is not based on an assessment of its potential valueD. is viewed by these companies as an important business investment37. Managers usually regard the costs of marketing as _____.A. something which increases the cost of goodsB. helpful but not essenti al to a company‟s successC. less important than investment in productionD. an unnecessary extra business cost38. Why are marketing plans not written down by many managers?A. They do not have time to do it.B. They know it would be difficult to do.C. They never follow any particular marketing plan.D. They do not think it is really necessary39. Good marketing procedures allow a manager _____.A. to take different courses of actionB. to do less work than othersC. to avoid unforeseen problemsD. to give more responsibility to others40. How should a manager begin writing a marketing plan?A. By doing market research outside the company.B. By looking at information produced by other companies.C. By analyzing procedures already used by the company.D. By finding information from many different sources.Passage ThreeIn addition to urge to conform which we generate ourselves, there is the external pressure of the various formal and informal groups we belong to, the pressure to backtheir ideas and attitudes and to imitate their actions. Thus our urge to conform receives continuing, even daily reinforcement. To be sure, the intensity of the reinforcement, like the strength of the urge and the ability and inclination to withstand it, differs widely among individuals. Yet some pressure is present for everyone. And in one way or another, to some extent, everyone yields to it.It is possible that a new member of a temperance group might object the group‟s rigid insistence that all drinking of alcoholic beverages is wrong He might even speak out, reminding them that occasional, moderate drinking is not harmful, that even the Bible speaks approvingly of it. But the group may quickly let him know that such ideas are unwelcome in their presence. Every time he forgets this, he will be made to feel uncomfortable. In time, if he values their companionship he will avoid expressing that point of view. He may even keep himself from thinking.This kind of pressure, whether spoken or unspoken, can be generated by any group, regardless of how liberal or conservative, formal or casual it may be. Friday night poker clubs, churches, political parties, committees, fraternities, unions. The teenage gang that steals automobile accessories may seem to have no taboos. But let one uneasy member remark that he is beginning to feel guilty about his crimes and their wrath will descend on him.Similarly, in high school and college, the crowd a student travels with has certain (usually unstate D) expectations for its members. If they drink or smoke, they will often make the member who does not do so feel that he doesn‟t fully belong. If a member does not share their views on sex, drugs, studying, cheating, or any other subject of importance to them, they will communicate their displeasure. The way they communicate, of course, may be more or less direct. They may tell him he‟d better conform “or else”. They may launch a teasing campaign against him. Or they may be even less obvious and leave him out of their activities for a few days until he asks what is wrong or decides for himself and resolves to behave more like them.The urge to conform on occasion conflicts with the tendency to resist change. If the group we are in advocates an idea or action that is new and strange to us, we can be torn between seeking their acceptance and maintaining the security of familiar ideas and behavior. In such .cases, the way we turn will depend on which tendency is stronger in us or which value we are more committed to. More often,-however, the two tendencies do not conflict but reinforce each other. For we tend to associate with those whose attitudes mid actions are similar to our own.41. The writer most probably discusses ____ in the previous part of the text.A. advantages that conformity brings usB. internal urge we have to conform with othersC. the definition of conformityD. the necessity of conformity42. You may experience external pressure to conform ____.A. when you conceal your points of viewB. from the time when you were bornC. when your opinions are different from those of the group to which you belongD. when you face something new43. A temperance group is ____.A. an organization that advocates drinking of alcoholic beverages'B. an organization that urges people to stop drinking alcoholic liquorsC. an organization in which all members have no taboos to drink alcoholic beveragesD. an organization in which all drivers are not allowed to drink alcoholic liquors44. If you refuse to give up your ideas which are different from the others in the group you belong to, ____.A. you will be tom apart by the othersB. their wrath will descend on youC. you will gradually be deserted by themD. you will resolve to behave more like them45. The main topic of this text is ____.A. the external pressure which urges us to conform with othersB. both the internal and external urge we have to conform with othersC. the urge and the tendency for us to conform with othersD. the generation of the external urge for us to conform with othersPassage FourTheoretical physicists use mathematics to describe certain aspects of Nature. Sir Isaac Newton was the first theoretical physicist, although in his own time his profession was called “natural philosophy”.By Newton‟s era people had already used algebra and geometry to build marvelous works of architecture, including the great cathedrals of Europe, but algebra and geometry only describe things that are sitting still. In order to describe things that are moving or changing in some way, Newton invented calculus.The most puzzling and intriguing moving things visible to humans have always been the sun, the moon, the planets and the stars we can see in the night sky. Newton‟s new calculus, combined with his “Laws of Motion”, made a mathematical model for the force of gravity that not only described the observed motions of planets and stars in the night sky, but also of swinging weights and flying cannonballs in England.Today‟s theoretical physi cists are often working on the boundaries of known mathematics, sometimes inventing new mathematics as they need it, like Newton did with calculus.Newton was both a theorist and an experimentalist. He spent many long hours, to the point of neglecting his health, observing the way Nature behaved so that he might describe it better. The so-called “Newton‟s Laws of Motion” are not abstract laws that Nature is somehow forced to obey, but the observed behavior of Nature that is described in the language of m athematics. In Newton‟s time, theory and experiment went together.Today the functions of theory and observation are divided into two distinct communities in physics. Both experiments and theories are much more complex than back in Newton‟s time. Theor ists are exploring areas of Nature in mathematics that technology so far does not allow us to observe in experiments. Many of the theoreticalphysicists who are alive today may not live to see how the real Nature compares with her mathematical description in their work. Today‟s theorists have to learn to live with ambiguity and uncertainty in their mission to describe Nature using math.In the 18th and 19th centuries, Newton‟s mathematical description of motion using calculus and his model for the gravitational force were extended very successfully to the emerging science and technology of electromagnetism. Calculus evolved into classical field theory.Once electromagnetic fields were thoroughly described using mathematics, many physicists felt that the field was finished, that there was nothing left to describe or explain.Then the electron was discovered, and particle physics was born. Through the mathematics of quantum mechanics and experimental observation, it was deduced that all known particles fell into one of two classes: bosons or fermions. Bosons are particles that transmit forces. Many bosons can occupy the same state at the same time. This is not true for fermions, only one fermion can occupy a given state at a given time, and this is why fermions are the particles that make up matter. This is why solids can‟t pass through one another, why we can‟t walk through walls-because of Pauli repulsion-the inability of fermions (matter) to share the same space the way bosons (forces) can.While particle physics was developing with quantum mechanics, increasing observational evidence indicated that light, as electromagnetic radiation, traveled at one fixed speed (in a vacuum) in every direction, according to every observer. This discovery and the mathematics that Einstein developed to describe it and model it in his Special Theory of Relativity, when combined with the later development of quantum mechanics, gave birth to the rich subject of relativistic quantum field theory. Relativistic quantum field theory is the foundation of our present theoretical ability to describe the behavior of the subatomic particles physicists have been observing and studying in the latter half of the 20th century.But Einstein then extended his Special Theory of Relativity to encompass Newton‟s theory of gravitation, and the result, Einstein‟s General Theory of Relativity, brought the mathematics called differential geometry into physics.General relativity has had many observational successes that proved its worth as a description of Nature, but two of the predictions of this theory have staggered the public and scientific imaginations: the expanding Universe, and black holes. Both have been observed, and both encapsulate issues that, at least in the mathematics, brush up against the very nature of reality and existence.Relativistic quantum field theory has worked very well to describe the observed behaviors and properties of elementary particles. But the theory itself only works well when gravity is so weak that it can be neglected. Particle theory only works when we pretend gravity doesn‟t exist.General relativity has yielded a wealth of insight into the Universe, the orbits of planets, the evolution of stars and galaxies, the Big Bang and recently observed black holes and gravitational lenses. However, the theory itself only works when we pretend that the Universe is purely classical and that quantum mechanics is not needed in ourdescription of Nature.String theory is believed to close this gap.Originally, string theory was proposed as an explanation for the observed relationship between mass and spin for certain particles called hadrons, which include the proton and neutron. Things didn‟t work out, though, and Quantum Chromodynamics eventually proved a better theory for hadrons.But particles in string theory arise as excitations of the string, and included in the excitations of a string in string theory is a particle with zero mass and two units of spin.If there were a good quantum theory of gravity, then the particle that would carry the gravitational force would have zero mass and two units of spin. This has been known by theoretical physicists for a long time. This theorized particle is called the graviton.This led early string theorists to propose that string theory be applied not as a theory of hadronic particles, but as a theory of quantum gravity, the unfulfilled fantasy of theoretical physics in the particle and gravity communities for decades. But it wasn‟t enough that there be a graviton predicted by string theory. One can add a graviton to quantum field theory by hand, but the calculations that are supposed to describe Nature become useless. This is because, as illustrated in the diagram above, particle interactions occur at a single point of spacetime, at zero distance between the interacting panicles. For gravitons, the mathematics behaves so badly at zero distance that the answers just don‟t make sense. In string theory, the strings collide over a small but finite distance, and the answers do make sense.This doesn‟t mean that string theory is not without its deficiencies. But the zero distance behavior is such that we can combine quantum mechanics and gravity, and we can talk sensibly about a string excitation that carries the gravitational force.This was a very great hurdle that was overcome for late 20th century physics, which is why so many young people are willing to learn the grueling complex and abstract mathematics that is necessary to study a quantum theory of interacting strings.46.Please give your account of “Newton‟s Laws of Motion”.(2 points)47.What is the present state of scientific research in account of Nature?(4 points)48.What is the difference between bosons and fermions?

北京林业大学研究生学位考农林英语翻译答案

北京林业大学研究生学位考农林英语翻译答案Unit 1Urban forestry involves (refers to / is concerned with) forestry activities introducing forestry from wild lands (fields) and countryside (rural regions) to populous cities where economy, culture, industry and business (commerce) are concentrated. Most metropolitan cities are currently prosperous but noisy (clamorous) with deteriorating ecological environment. People living in such a crowded and narrow city space suffer from a worsening (declining) physical quality. To develop urban forestry can beautify environment, purify air, reduce noise and adjust local climate (microclimate), so that the living quality of urban people can be improved. Generally, urban forestry has provided a new approach to the urban environmental problems.Unit 2With the development of economy and progress of civilization in human society, there have been significant transformations in both people’s understanding about forests and social demands for forestry. As a result, more world attention has been widely paid to the function that forests play to maintain and improve ecological environment (the role that forests play in maintaining and improving ecological environment has drawn worldwide attention.). In 1992, UN Conference on Environment and Development bestowed priority on forestry (gave priority to forestry) and it became a political commitment (promise) of the highest rank. In addition, it was particularly emphasized in the meeting that nothing would be more important than forestry among the problems that the world summits dealt with. It is a distinct milestone in world civilization history to place forestryissues at such an unprecedentedly high position.Unit 3China is one of the countries boasting the richest biodiversity and also one of the earliest adopting the Convention on Biological Diversity. The Chinese Government has highly valued the work of biodiversity conservation by formulating and enforcing a series of related laws and regulations,so that a legal system on the conservation and biodiversity has fundamentally formed. In addition, it has established and consolidated the coordination mechanism on the implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity as well as the scheme of Inter-ministerial Joint Meeting on biological species resources, laid down and issued the National Action Plan on the Conservation of Biodiversity of China and other related plans in this regard, based on which various relevant sectors have mapped out and executed their own action plans. Unit 5Agriculture still has /(shoulders / takes) the responsibility to feed the entire world in spite of / (despite) the serious (tough / big /severe ) challenge of climate change. Agriculture needs to produce more food, waste less, and make it easier for farmers to have their produce sent / (get their produce) to consumers. Besides, agriculture has to find ways/approaches/methods to reduce negative impacts resulted from environmental change—including lowering greenhouse gas emissions,planning/managing food security and rural development as a whole, etc. Only through the development of agricultural high technology can the above be realized/All these are only possible through the development of agricultural high technology.Unit 6Chinese agriculture has to choose the way of a low-carbondevelopment which is characterized by being resources-saving, production-clean, environment-friendly and quality-efficiency-oriented. Therefore, in terms of technology, great efforts must be made to develop a series of key technologies and promote /spread their practical application, such as resources-saving technologies including energy-saving, soil-saving, water-saving, fertilizer-saving, insecticides-saving / pesticides-saving, seeds-saving, materials-saving and labor-saving technologies, and so on, technologies of reducing the use of agricultural chemicals and developing their substitutes, technologies of cultivating new plant species with high light absorption and carbon sequestration, technology of soil carbon sequestration, technologies of developing clean energies, technologies of developing clean environment-friendly production, technologies of poison-free disposal and reclamation of wastes, and so on.Unit 7The enactment of the City Planning Act in 1989 is a major milestone to re-establish and formalize (regularize) the urban planning system in China. But, there are still many deficiencies of the urban planning system in coping with the rapidly changing socio-economic environment. Some of these deficiencies can be traced back to the past planned economy era, and some are intrinsic problems of the City Planning Act. Attempts are being made (Experiments are taking place) in Chinese cities which aim to provide better guidance and supervision to urban planning and development control from a planned economy to a transitional one.Unit 8Currently, we could hardly live a single day without seeing a celebrity spokesperson promoting a product or a socialcampaign on TV, net or other media. This is an intensely popular trend that we cannot fail to notice. There is no doubt that the celebrity spokespeople could boost the sale of a product. A host of celebrity spokespersons, however, have emerged as the marketing tool of some companies, even companies producing and selling fake and inferior items. This kind of behavior has produced negative impacts on consumers and whole society, which should be severely criticized and penalized. Of course, as is known to all, everything has both bright and dark sides. Some sta rs’ endorsement of social activities and public campaigns raises public awareness, giving rise to changes in public behavior. In this case, they serve as positive role models of the general public. To name only one case: Pu CX, a household figure, acting as the celebrity spokesman of the China AIDS Foundation, contributes greatly to the cause of AIDS prevention and cure in China.Unit 9Famed for Oriental Venice, Suzhou tops all others cities in both the number and the artistry of gardens. Tracing back to the Spring and Autumn period, the earliest gardens in Suzhou belongs to the king of Wu. Recorded as the earliest private garden, Pijiang house dates from the 4th century Eastern Jin Dynasties. Following that, Suzhou's art of gardening has undergone a history of 1, 500 years. Originated from the desire to feel the charm of mountains, forest and springs without going out of the noisy surrounding of the town, Suzhou gardens are the harmonious combination of nature and constructions. During the prosperous Ming and Qing Dynasties, the number of gardens in the city increases a great deal, mounting to 200 odd. Dozens of them have survived to the present and are in a good state ofpreservation. Among them, the most famous ones are the Surging Waves Pavilion, the Lion Grove Garden, the Humble Administrator Garden and the Lingering Garden, representing the different styles of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties respectively.Unit 10In the northern ocean there is a fish, called the kun, I do not know how many thousand li insize. This kun changes into a bird, called the peng. Its back is I do not know how many thousand li in breadth. When it is moved, it flies, its wings obscuring the sky like clouds.When on a voyage, this bird prepares to start for the Southern Ocean, the Celestial Lake. And in the Records of Marvels we read that when the peng flies southwards, the water is smitten for a space of three thousand li around, while the bird itself mounts upon a great wind to a height of ninety thousand li, for a flight of six months' duration.There mounting aloft, the bird saw the moving white mists of spring, the dust-clouds, and the living things blowing their breaths among them. It wondered whether the blue of the sky was its real color, or only the result of distance without end, and saw that the things on earth appeared the same to it.If there is not sufficient depth, water will not float large ships. Upset a cupful into a hole in the yard, and a mustard-seed will be your boat. Try to float the cup, and it will be grounded, due to the disproportion between water and vessel. So with air. If there is not sufficient a depth, it cannot support large wings. And for this bird, a depth of ninety thousand li is necessary to bear it up. Then, gliding upon the wind, with nothing save the clear sky above, and no obstacles in the way, it starts upon its journey tothe south.。

Unit 1Text B Family-unfriendly Policies1.…, even after a significant reform of the welfare system, the singlewelfare mother has become the public symbol of much of what is wrong with America’s social service programs. (para. 8) Paraphrase:Though an important reform of the welfare system has been carried out, the policies of aiding the single mother is still a noticeable demonstration/a good example to show that the American social service programs have fundamental problems.Even after a major reform in welfare system, the single mother still enjoys too much benefits, which is always regarded as the main problem in America’s social service programs.2.Federal aid should give incentives for couples to form and sustainhealthy marriages, not encouragement for single parenthood and nonmarital birth.(para. 8)Paraphrase:The Federal government should encourage couples to marry and keep healthy marriage but discourage households with one parent and childbirth out of unmarried parents.3. Public policy should not contribute to an a la carte menu of sex, love, and childbearing. It should emphasize the benefits for all from the package deal of marriage. (para. 9)Paraphrase:The policy for the public should not promote individually/separately sex, love and childbearing, but should focus on the interests of the whole of marriage for all the people.Unit TwoText B Deep water Drilling.1.Deep waters that were once off limits to oil explores are suddenlyaccessible, partly because of advances in floating rigs.( para. 19) Paraphrase:Oil explorers are now suddenly able to operate in deep waters where they couldn’t get to, in part because there have been developments in floating rigs.2.Everywhere, the quest is for speed and lightness. The last hurrahfor the old guard may be the 4.2 billion Hibernian oil projects on Canada’s Grand Banks.(para. 22)Paraphrase:Anywhere in deep water drilling field, high speed and light weight are pursued forever. The last acclamation for the completion of the old-typed fixed production platform may be the 4.2 billion Hibernian oil projects on Canada’s Grand Banks.3.Now, oil-rich countries that once spurned Western oil companiesas imperialists realize that they’re missing out on a good thing.(para.26)Paraphrase:Countries with abundant oil sources get to know now that they are losing the chance to make use of the investment of the western oil companies, which were once regarded as imperialists and rejected.4.Add all that up and you have the recipe for a possible explosion inoil production.(para. 27)Paraphrase:Taking all these factors of technology and foreign capital into consideration, you understand the causes that lead to a possible large and quick expansion of oil production/ why there is a sharp increase in oil prouction.Unit 3Text A1. A liver cell has a different job from a blood cell and proteins to match. (para 2)Paraphrase:A liver cell plays a different role compared with a blood cell and the proteins inside a liver cell are different from those inside a blood cell. 2. But as the plasma proteome project shows, there will be a pay-off even at the stage of cataloguing proteins. (para. 8)Paraphrase:But as the plasma proteome project indicates, people will benefit even during the period of classifying proteins.3. And if the unexpected technological leaps made in fiercely competitive race for the human genome are anything to go by, theywill arrive faster than we might think. (para 8)Paraphrase:If we judge by the unexpected technological advances achieved in human genome which involves fierce competition, the achievements in the field of proteomics will be accomplished more quickly than we might think.Text B1. A controversial area of science that has hardly been out of the spotlight since the birth of its leading lady, Dolly, the sheep, is cloning. (para 1)Since the leading lady Dolly the sheep was born, cloning has long been/ seldom escaped from the focus of attention /has always received a lot of public attention as a much-debated area of science.2. Certainly it is the view of every serious scientist … on the grounds of safety alone. (Para. 3)Paraphrase:Every serious scientist surely thinks that it would be mad for anyone to clone a person today, only for the reason of health safety.3. This suggests that there is a great deal of plasticity in the growing embryo that still allows it to develop successfully even when a significant proportion of its genes are malfunctioning. (para 4) Paraphrase:It can be concluded from the cloning studies that the growing embryo can be greatly modified, which enables it to develop successfully even when the majority of genes are not functioning well.4. Personally I think it would be a very dangerous path to follow first of all, could we really be sure until it was too late that we were not creating people with a range of serious abnormalities? (para 5) Paraphrase:In my opinion, it would be very dangerous to clone a person because we could not be certain whether the people we were producing have any serious defects and diseases. It will be too late when we realize the dangers.5. It might be a very useful practical test of the importance of genes versus the environment, but would it be fair to subject a real human individual to such a test? (para 5)Paraphrase:It could probably be a very useful practical experiment in relation to the importance of interaction going on between genes and environment, but would it be fair to get a real human individual involved in such a dangerous test?6. Assessing how serious a possibility someone attempting to clone a baby is has not been helped by the various cranks and charlatans who have been making exaggerate claims in this respect. (para 6) Paraphrase:There are various weird people and fake experts who have been making unreal and impractical declaration that they would try to clone a baby. However, these could not help us to judge how possible the cloning baby is.7. An increasing problem is that pioneering research findings …. have no control over. (para. 8)Paraphrase:The scientists have used public money to do careful research work for years and yielded exploring/leading results, but now they may be wasted and abused by private interests the public can’t manage; this is a rising concern.Unit 4Text A1.In addition, the Freedom Tower will further its distinction as aworld-class model of energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. (Para. 1)Paraphrase:Moreover, the Freedom Tower will place greater emphasis on its features as a world -class example in making better use of energy and protecting environment for sustainability.2. This spectacular addition to our skyline will be a commanding architectural symbol while addressing the security concerns we face in today’s world.(para 4)Paraphrase:While solving the security problem in today’s world, the accession of the Freedom Tower to our skyline will be a dominating architectural symbol.3. Generous open spaces, filled with trees, water and places of respite that enliven the surrounding streets, connect the tower with theadjacent neighborhoods and allow views and access into the memorial. (para 6)Paraphrase:The wide green areas with trees, pools and resting places add liveliness to the nearby streets and link the Freedom Tower with the surroundings so that they enable people to see the scenery and enter the memorial.4. The redesigned Freedom Tower speaks to the government and private sector’s deep and abiding commitment to rebuild New York City to the highest architectural, environmental and safety standards.(para 7)Paraphrase:The new design of the Freedom Tower reflects the public and private’s strong and lasting pledge which aims to rebuild New York City on the basis of the highest standards of architecture, environment, and safety.5. Environmental quality will also extend to construction of the Freedom Tower, which will feature waste reduction through recycling of construction materials. (para. 11)Paraphrase:The environmental quality will also be involved in the construction of Freedom Tower focusing on decreasing waste through construction materials’ recycling.Text B1. After all, who wants to work or live in a grand, iconic structure that stands out in a crowd and thus makes an inviting target? (Para 1) Paraphrase:After all, no one wants to work or live in a huge and symbolic building which is so distinguished among all that it is likely to be attacked.2. A lot of great buildings get erected because somebody wants to make their mark on the skyline. (para 2)Paraphrase:Lots of grand buildings are constructed as the developers want to become well-known with those impressive symbols on the skyline.Unit 6Text A1. … making paper copies of anything is a primitive use of machines and violates their very spirits. (para 1)Paraphrase:Using machines to make paper copies is backward and against the concept of the development of machines.Technologies have emerged one after another to help us do away with what Egyptians first made out of riverside reeds several millennia ago, including electronic date books, ever-shrinking laptops, and the never quite-ready e-book. (para 2)Paraphrase:Many new inventions, including e-calendars, smaller and smaller notebook computers and ever-changing e-books, are coming out successively to help us get rid of paper, which was invented in ancient Egypt and made of water plant leaf fiber.3. A primary pile of papers, adjacent to the open workspace at the center of the desk and probably next to the phone, contains what they call hot files, documents to be acted on immediately. (para 4) Paraphrase:An important pile of documents including those urgent “hot files” to be dealt with at once, is put next to the open workspace in the middle of the desk and possibly close to the phone.4. Cold files, the great preponderance of documents t hat don’t need immediate attention, fill file drawers farther away. (para 4) Paraphrase:As most “cold files” don’t have to be dealt with immediately, they are stuck in the drawers farther away.Text B1.Washington and Wall Street are bedeviled by a specter– the specter of dot-com start-ups and the rise of the nerd class. (Para 1) Paraphrase:The US government and financial world are haunted/troubled by a dreadful thing—the setting up of web firms and the increasing number of web fans.2.Surprisingly, the outcome of this conflict has a lot to say about whether we will still turn pages as we read. (Para 1)Paraphrase:It is surprising that the result of the battle between the paper culture and screen culture fully illustrates/reveals much whether we will still turnpages when we read.3.Screen culture is a world of constant flux, of endless sound bites, quick cuts and half-baked ideas. (para 4)Paraphrase:Screen culture is filled with continuous changes, never-stopping sound bites, rapid editions and deletions, and immature thoughts.4.Notions don’t stand alone but are massively interlinked to everything else; truth is not delivered by authors and authorities but is assembled by the audience. (para 4)Paraphrase:Ideas don’t exist separately but are closel y related with everything else; truth is not expressed by authors and authorities but is made up by the viewers and readers.Unit 7Text A1. This is a particularly unsettling line of inquiry for athletes or parents. (para 4)Paraphrase:The way of asking such a question especially causes athletes or parents to feel worried.2. The underlying theory is simple: All games involve achieving a goal despite the presence of an obstacle, but nowhere is it written that the obstacle has to be someone else. (para 6)Paraphrase:There is a fundamental theory beneath: The rule of all games is to reach a goal even though there is an obstacle, but it never says that this obstacle has to be somebody else.3. If a large number of people insist that we can’t do without win/lose activities, the first question to ask is whether they’ve ever tasted the alternative. (para 10)Paraphrase:If many people still hold the view that we cannot live without activities involving winning and losing, the first thing we should ask is if they have ever tried the other way.4. Studies have shown that feelings of self-worth become dependent on external sources of evaluation as a result of competition; yourvalue is defined by what you’ve done and who you’ve beaten. (para 11)Paraphrase:It is indicated from studies that the feelings of self-esteem gradually rely on assessments from the outside factors because of competition; people’s value is decided by the things they have done and the rivals they have defeated.Text B1.Furthermore, an element of score keeping is evident in the most innocent of children’s games. (para 3)Paraphrase:Moreover, a feature of winning / competing ahead of others is clear even in children’s most harmless games.2. This was a response to an attempt to recognize participation ahead of winning or losing at 4-H events, and was perceived by party leaders as promoting socialism. (para 4)Paraphrase:Joining in 4-H activities was a reaction to an attempt to realize/admit/accept that participation is more important than winning or losing, and was regarded by party leaders as improving socialism.3. As soon as this is established, they can refine and specialize their skills. (para 5)Paraphrase:Once they find their proper / appropriate social position, the young people can improve and major in their skills.4. The bulk of this research points to the improved social conditions associated with cooperation as opposed to competition. (para 7) Paraphrase:The majority of this research suggests / indicates that cooperation rather than competition improves social conditions.5.The context of the competition seems to excuse or suspend normal expectations of civility. (para 12)Paraphrase:It seems the settings of competition make people tolerate bad/ugly behaviors and suppress/ignore politeness as ordinarily expected.Unit 8Text A1.Solar power, wind turbines and other sources of clean power---thepreserve of visionaries and enthusiasts little more than a decade ago---are now poised on the brink of the mainstream, helped in no small part by the environmental deficiencies of fossil fuels. (para 2)Paraphrase:Largely because fossil fuels do some damage to the environment, solar power, wind turbines and other sources of clean power are now quite ready to replace the major sources of power, which used to be the field for people with great visions and enthusiasm to explore only about 10 years or so ago.2.Already a billion-pound business, projections indicate an annualgrowth rate for the next decade of 14 percent. (para 6) Paraphrase:Although the solar program is already worth billion pounds, it is still predicted that it will keep growing at a rate of 14% each year for the next 10 years.3.High hopes are pinned on the fuel cell, a technology forecast toreshape the world energy economy and odds-on to power transport systems of tomorrow by replacing petrol. (para 21) Paraphrase:Fuel cell is a technology predicted to transform the world energy economy and it is very likely to take the place of petrol to give power in the future transport systems; as a consequence, people put a lot of hopes on it.4.Again, its green credentials are indisputable: fuel cells releasenothing more damaging into the atmosphere than water vapor.(para 21)Paraphrase:It is definite to argue once more that, with certain green qualities, the fuel cell lets out into the atmosphere nothing damaging, only water vapor.Text B1.The solar panels provide an exciting demonstration for thecampus community of the power of cutting edgetechnology…(para 5)Paraphrase:Excitingly, the solar panels display in front of people on campus the power of a technology that is at the very frontier…2.As laboratories for learning and natural gathering centers for thecommunity, schools are an excellent venue to demonstrate the viability of solar technologies. (para 6)Paraphrase:Acting like the laboratories for learning and the common place for people in the same area to gather together naturally, schools are a perfect place to show the possibility we can have with solar technologies.3.Such solicitations are geared toward “raising visibility andacceptability of renewable energy and to help create a sustained demand for renewables.” (para 4)Paraphrase:The requests are adjusted to make renewable energies visible and accepted and create a continuous demand for them4.As the term “sustainability”gains currency, more and moreeducators are looking to provide hands-on learning opportunities for their students. (para 8)Paraphrase:As the word “sustainability”becomes more popular and accepted by more people, more and more educators are seeking to give their students available learning chances.。

ParaphraseUnit11.My plan was to keep my ears open and my mouth shut and hope no one would notice I was a freshman.I planned to be observant and silent so that nobody would notice that I was a freshman.2.Popularity was not so important: running with the crowd was no longer a law of survival.It didn’t matter whether you were widely liked or not: you did not have to follow other people so as to be accepted by everybody else.3.This was my big chance to do my own thing, be my own woman----if I could get past my preoccupation withdoing everything perfectly.College offered a great chance for me to do my own thing and have my own style so long as I could give up the attempt to be perfect in everything.Unit21.He didn’t realize how hard his maxim hit. It often returns to haunt and rebuke me by raising the critical problem ofpriorities.He did not realize how much impact his works had on me. They often come to my mind and make me think of the important problem of priorities, and this is always the time I feel quite uneasy.2.But in the light of time’s perspective their deceptive prominence fades; with a sense of loss we recall the importanttasks pushed aside.But as time passes, the urgent things gradually lose their seemingly importance, and at the same time we suffer from a sense of loss as we recall the important tasks that are left undone.Unit31.Food to my countrymen is one of the ecstasies of life, to be thought about in advance; to be smothered with lovingcare throughout its preparation; and to have time lavished on it in the final pleasure of eating.Food to us Chinese is one of the greatest joys in life: It is thought about before being prepared; it is treated with lots of love and care while being prepared; and when it is ready, it is enjoyed with excessive amount of time.2.It is this increased sensuality and the desire for great freedom age-bound habits in the West, combined with theinherent sensual concept of Chinese food, always quick to satisfy the taste buds, that is at the root of the sudden and phenomenal spread of Chinese food throughout the length and breadth of the Western World.The main reason for the sudden and tremendous popularity of Chinese food throughout the whole Western world lies in two facts: One is the increased desire for sensual pleasures and freedom from age-old customs in the West; the other is the notion of physical pleasure provided by Chinese food which is always ready to satisfy the taste of the eater.Unit51.But it did list his“survivors”quite accurately.But the obituary did list the family members of the dead man quite accurately.2.He was the one who tried to grab at his father, and tried to mean enough to him to keep the man at home.It was the boy who made efforts to divert his father’s affection from work.Unit61.Even an end which it would be noble to pursue if it were attainable may be pursued unwiselyif it is inherently impossible of achievement.It would be unwise to pursue a goal that is bound to fail though it might benoble to do so.2.I think the essence of wisdom is emancipation, as far as possible, from the tyranny of the here and now.I think the essence of wisdom is to free oneself from the confinement of thephysical world and the emotional world and look beyond.Unit81.One way was to step up the level of danger or licentiousness or alcohol or drag consumptionso that you could be sure that, no matter what, you would manage to have a little fun.In order to have a little fun under the stress of modern life, people indulged themselves even more intensively in dangerous adventures and excessive sex,alcohol and drugs.2. The god of mirth is paying us back for all those years of thinking fun was everywhere by refusing to come to ourparty.We have long assumed that fun was easy to have, but now we are paying a price for that shallow-mindedness, i.e., our party is hardly as much fun as it is intended to be.Unit91.Children enter school as question marks and leave as periods.Children enter school with lots of questions and curiosity, but when they leave school after years of formal education, they lose all the curiosity and exploring spirit.2.? Being “advanced”has its own pitfalls---among them complacency and pushing of forcing. “Advanced”learners are likely to make some mistakes, for example, they may become excessively satisfied with their progress or on the contrary, put too much pressure on themselves to achieve further progress.Unit111.“Psychological barriers wear down; the ability to make more distinctions can coarsen; the liar’s percepti on of hischances of being caught may warp”One is less inhibited from lying; his ability to tell the truth from the falsehood is dulled; he may become less cautious against being caught.2.Once they’ve become common enough, even the small untruths that ar e not meant to hurt encourage a certaincynicism and loss of trust.When it becomes common enough to tell small lies, even the small unharmful ones will induce doubt and distrust.3.The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of what ethicists refer to as the principle of trust forthe principle of caring.Those lies that are most understandable and acceptable are based on what moralists call the principle of love and care rather than that of trust.Unit121.We will go through the most extraordinary contortions to save ourselves from walking.As long as we can avoid walking, we are willing to do anything possible, however unnatural or ridiculous it may be.2.…I was possibly the only person ever to have entertained the notion of negotiating that intersection on foot.…I was very likely the only person who had ever attempted to cross thatintersection on foot.Unit131.I thought I was a unique item, but as soon as I peeked out of my shell I found a sea of women in similar positions.I had thought that I was quite different from other people, but when I directed my attention from myself toother people I found that there were so many people just like me.2.The little child in us has grown mature and middle-aged, almost to our surprise.To our surprise, the inner child in us has grown mature and is already middle-aged. And we realize that we are really getting old.3.Besides the intellectual surprises, we found joy in each other’s company, and we delved in this newly foundcamaraderie with an intensity we did not know we could achieve outside of love and pregnancies.We found so many surprises in school, and apart from that, we also enjoyed the company of each other very much. We appreciated this kind of friendship intensely, just like what we felt for our lovers when we were in love or for baby when we were pregnant.Unit141.Suddenly I saw myself as I really was, in all my horrid selfishness, and I felt sick at heart.Suddenly I realized that sort of person I really was: I was an extremely selfish man. This made me feel very bad at heart.2.I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years.I was judging you by the standard for an adult of my age which was not fair to a little boy.3. A penitent kneels at your infant shrine, here in the moonlight.Here in the moonlight, your father, a man with a strong sense of guilt and remorse, kneels in front of your bed.Unit151.It is difficult to sort out whether job satisfaction causes happiness or vice versa, but evidence suggests thatcausation flows both ways.It is hard to find out whether job satisfaction causes happiness or happiness leads to jib satisfaction, but it is suggested that either of them has an effect on the other.2. There is nothing, short of terminal illness---no setback, shortcoming, difficulty, or inadequacy---that makeshappiness impossible.Nothing, such as misfortune, weakness, difficulty, or insufficiency, can make it impossible for a person to achieve happiness unless he suffers from a fatal disease.TranslationUnit11.听到他屡遭失败的消息,我感到难过.It distressed me a great deal to hear that he had suffered repeated failures.2.他虽然失去了老板的欢心,但仍然装出一副高兴地样子。

A controversial area of science that has hardly been out of the spotlight since the birth of its leading lady, Dolly, the sheep, is cloning. (para 1)Since the leading lady Dolly the sheep was born, cloning has long been/ seldom escaped from the focus of attention /has always received a lot of public attention as a much-debated area of science.2. Certainly it is the view of every serious scientist … on the grounds of safety alone. (Para. 3)Paraphrase:Every serious scientist surely thinks that it would be mad for anyone to clone a person today, only for the reason of health safety.3. This suggests that there is a great deal of plasticity in the growing embryo that still allows it to develop successfully even when a significant proportion of its genes are malfunctioning. (para 4) Paraphrase:It can be concluded from the cloning studies that the growing embryo can be greatly modified, which enables it to develop successfully even when the majority of genes are not functioning well.4. Personally I think it would be a very dangerous path to follow first of all, could we really be sure until it was too late that we were not creating people with a range of serious abnormalities?

(para 5)Paraphrase:It could probably be a very useful practical experiment in relation to the importance of interaction going on between genes and environment, but would it be fair to get a real human individual involved in such a dangerous test?6. Assessing how serious a possibility someone attempting to clone a baby is has not been helped by the various cranks and charlatans who have been making exaggerate claims in this respect. (para 6) Paraphrase:There are various weird people and fake experts who have been making unreal and impractical declaration that they would try to clone a baby. However, these could not help us to judge how possible the cloning baby is.7. An increasing problem is that pioneering research findings …. have no control over.

A lot of great buildings get erected because somebody wants to make their mark on the skyline. (para 2)Paraphrase:Lots of grand buildings are constructed as the developers want to become well-known with those impressive symbols on the skyline.Unit 6Text A1. … making paper copies of anything is a primitive use of machines and violates their very spirits. (para 1)Paraphrase:Using machines to make paper copies is backward and against the concept of the development of machines.Technologies have emerged one after another to help us do away with what Egyptians first made out of riverside reeds several millennia ago, including electronic date books, ever-shrinking laptops, and the never quite-ready e-book.

If a large number of people insist that we can’t do without win/lose activities, the first question to ask is whether they’ve ever tasted the alternative. (para 10)Paraphrase:If many people still hold the view that we cannot live without activities involving winning and losing, the first thing we should ask is if they have ever tried the other way.4.

(para 3)Paraphrase:Moreover, a feature of winning / competing ahead of others is clear even in children’s most harmless games.2. This was a response to an attempt to recognize participation ahead of winning or losing at 4-H events, and was perceived by party leaders as promoting socialism. (para 4)Paraphrase:Joining in 4-H activities was a reaction to an attempt to realize/admit/accept that participation is more important than winning or losing, and was regarded by party leaders as improving socialism.3. As soon as this is established, they can refine and specialize their skills. (para 5)Paraphrase:Once they find their proper / appropriate social position, the young people can improve and major in their skills.4. The bulk of this research points to the improved social conditions associated with cooperation as opposed to competition. (para 7) Paraphrase:The majority of this research suggests / indicates that cooperation rather than competition improves social conditions.5.The context of the competition seems to excuse or suspend normal expectations of civility. (para 12)Paraphrase:It seems the settings of competition make people tolerate bad/ugly behaviors and suppress/ignore politeness as ordinarily expected.Unit 8Text A1.Solar power, wind turbines and other sources of clean power---thepreserve of visionaries and enthusiasts little more than a decade ago---are now poised on the brink of the mainstream, helped in no small part by the environmental deficiencies of fossil fuels. (para 2)Paraphrase:Largely because fossil fuels do some damage to the environment, solar power, wind turbines and other sources of clean power are now quite ready to replace the major sources of power, which used to be the field for people with great visions and enthusiasm to explore only about 10 years or so ago.2.Already a billion-pound business, projections indicate an annualgrowth rate for the next decade of 14 percent. (para 6) Paraphrase:Although the solar program is already worth billion pounds, it is still predicted that it will keep growing at a rate of 14% each year for the next 10 years.3.High hopes are pinned on the fuel cell, a technology forecast toreshape the world energy economy and odds-on to power transport systems of tomorrow by replacing petrol. (para 21) Paraphrase:Fuel cell is a technology predicted to transform the world energy economy and it is very likely to take the place of petrol to give power in the future transport systems; as a consequence, people put a lot of hopes on it.4.Again, its green credentials are indisputable: fuel cells releasenothing more damaging into the atmosphere than water vapor.(para 21)Paraphrase:It is definite to argue once more that, with certain green qualities, the fuel cell lets out into the atmosphere nothing damaging, only water vapor.Text B1.The solar panels provide an exciting demonstration for thecampus community of the power of cutting edgetechnology…(para 5)Paraphrase:Excitingly, the solar panels display in front of people on campus the power of a technology that is at the very frontier…2.As laboratories for learning and natural gathering centers for thecommunity, schools are an excellent venue to demonstrate the viability of solar technologies. (para 6)Paraphrase:Acting like the laboratories for learning and the common place for people in the same area to gather together naturally, schools are a perfect place to show the possibility we can have with solar technologies.3.Such solicitations are geared toward “raising visibility andacceptability of renewable energy and to help create a sustained demand for renewables.” (para 4)Paraphrase:The requests are adjusted to make renewable energies visible and accepted and create a continuous demand for them4.As the term “sustainability”gains currency, more and moreeducators are looking to provide hands-on learning opportunities for their students.
