In one of the worst natural disasters on record, the ensuing earthquake triggered a series of destructive waves or tsunamis that claimed more than 250, 000 lives.Barely a minute after the quake, computers at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii picked up seismic signals and automatically alerted scientists. They issued an emergency bulletin for the Pacific but watched helplessly as the tragedy unfolded, since no similar detection network exists in the Indian Ocean. Fifteen minutes after the quake, acolossal wall of water struck the northwest coast of Sumatra, surging miles inland and obliterating everything in its path. Over the next few hours, gigantic waves raced across the Indian Ocean, killing tens of thousands of people in Thailand, Sri Lanka, and India. Now the documentary tells the minute-by-minute story of the 2004 tsunami, featuring the testimony of lucky survivors and gripping eyewitness video footage. In an authoritative look at tsunami science, this documentary presents the first in-depth exploration of what made the waves so destructive. And with the help of a massive wave tank, scientists assess the risk that a similar or even bigger catastrophe might one day strike U. S. coastlines.汉译英32 经验伴随着年龄增长，知识与宽容伴随着经验增长。

Cloze (30 points)Directions:There are TWO passages in this part. Each passage has 15 blanks. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Ideally, therefore, the choice of a(n) ______ (1) should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, ______ (2), most persons make several job choices during their working live, partly ______ (3) economic and industrial changes and partly to improve their positions. The "one perfect job" does not exist. Young people should therefore ______ (4) into a broad flexible training program that will fit them for a field of ______ (5) rather than for a single job.Unfortunately many young people, knowing little about the occupational world or themselves for that matter, choose their lifework ______ (6) a hit-or-miss basis. Some ______ (7) from job to job. Others ______ (8) to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.One common mistake is choosing an occupation for ______ (9) real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school students—or their parents—choose the professional field, ______ (10) both the relatively small proportion of work vacancies in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal ______ (11). The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a “white-collar” job is ______ (12) good reason for choosing it as a life‟s work. ______ (13), these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the majority of young people should give serious consideration to these fields.Before making an “occupational choice”, a person should have a general idea of what he wants ______ (14) life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security; others are willing to take ______ (15) for financial gain.

Reading Comprehension: (30 points)Section A (10 points)Directions:The following passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter in the provided space on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.New parents are annoying. They think you want to hear about every gurgle and baby-step. But it could be worse. When your boss has a sprog, watch your wallet.A study to be published next month in Administrative Science Quarterly looks at what happens to workers‟ pay when a male boss has a child. Researchers tracked salaries at every firm in Denmark with more than ten employees between 1996 and2006. (They confined themselves to male bosses partly because the sample of female bosses was too small.)Male bosses, it turns out, pay themselves significantly more once they become fathers. Even after controlling for factors such as age, length of tenure and the performance of the firm, the study found that bosses with daughters pay themselves 3.5% more than childless ones. If they have a son, that increases to a hefty 6.4%. David Ross of Columbia Business School, one of the authors, says all fathers feel a duty to support their families. For grunts this means working harder. Bosses have the more agreeable option of raising their own wages.This is bad news for underlings. That extra money comes out of workers‟ pockets; the study finds: Staff employed by a father is typically paid less. The amount depends on such things as the sex of the baby and whether it is his first child. Male employees bear the brunt: if the boss‟s child is a son, for example, they can expect 0. 5% less salary than if he hadn‟t reproduced.Female staff are better. After their boss‟s first child, they can expect to be paid a little more. Mr. Ross speculates that this might be because, having seen their wives go through childbirth, they start to respect women more. Alas, such goodwill doesn‟t last. Once the boss has a second child, female workers‟ wages are likely to fall, just like men‟s. (310 words)1. According to the passage, which of the following describes the study correctly?A. It was conducted by a Denmark firm.B. It was a large-scale and longitudinal study.C. It was a systematic and time consuming study.D. It tracked the salaries of ten employees from every firm.2. According to the passage, once they become fathers, male bosses tend to ______.A. pay more to those with sons.B. make the firm earn more money.C. differ due to factors such as age etc.D. take more money from their underlings.3. The study reveals that upon stepping into fatherhood,A. both bosses and employees need to earn more money.B. bosses and employees differ in their options of duty.C. employees need to work harder than bosses.D. bosses are more agreeable than employees.4. What does the sentence “Male employees bear the brunt” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Male employees are angry.B. Male employees suffer most.C. Male employees differ from others.D. Male employees complain about the situation.5. After the boss‟s first child, compared with males, female workers areA. in a different situation.B. paid a little bit more.C. more respected.D. just like men.Section B (20 points)Directions:Read the following two passages carefully and briefly answer questions in complete sentences on the Answer Sheet.Passage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.On July 15th, a chilly evening in Berlin, around 3,000 people flocked to the Brandenburg Gate to watch a free open-air screening of Charlie Chaplin‟s 1940 film “The Great Dictator”. It was the first night of “Chaplin Complete”, a festival run by the city‟s Babylon cinema, which is showing all 80 Chaplin films in 24 days. But the crowds also came to see Geraldine Chaplin, Charlie‟s eldest daughter, who opened proceedings.“This is an historic moment,” she said to me at the Adlon hotel, a short walk from the Brandenburg Gate, the day before the opening. “My father walked through history and he became history and now his film is shown here.”Her father also stayed at the Adlon on a visit to Berlin in 1931, on a promotional trip for his last and most successful silent film, “City Lights”. Although he missed the premiere—a pro-Nazi media campaign defaming Chaplin as an “anti-German warmonger” and an “American film-Jew”forced him to abscond to Vienna ahead of time—Geraldine is convinced the visit left a mark on her father. The Nazis didn‟t come to power until 1933, but she says that Chaplin‟s visit “was the moment he started to be fascinated with Hitler”.Geraldine recounts an interview Chaplin gave to Life magazine in the 1970s, when he was asked what he thought of Hitler‟s acting style. “Well, it was very oratory,” he said, “and a little bit over the top. The gestures were maybe just a little bit too big, which made me think, …This man does not have much confidence in himself.‟He must have had someone back there behind the scenes saying to him, …You are doing good. You are doing great, guy.‟” Geraldine suggests that these views of Hitler informed her father‟s performance in “The Great Dictator”, his fi rst talking picture and one of his most successful.The only time Geraldine heard her father speak about Berlin was through a closed door. “I did a lot of eavesdropping,” she says. She remembers hearing Chaplin telling a German friend, “In Berlin I fell in love”, and then she “heard this name which wasn‟t my mother‟s.” Shocked, she ran to the kitchen, where her mother was cooking, but she didn‟t dare tell her what she had heard. “She then chuckles, adding, of course, it was Nefertiti that he‟d fallen in love with.”He was talking about the famous bust of the wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten, which sits in Berlin‟s Neues Museum.“Chaplin Complete” is the second silent film season organised by the Babylon. Ten of the screenings will be accompanied by the Chamber Orchestra Potsdam. Timothy Brock, who is conducting the performances, has been working since 2000 to restore all the original scores from Chaplin‟s silent films. Geraldine is certain her father would approve. “He loved big audiences,” she says. “H e also liked to watch his own films.” So do Berliners—recent screenings of “City Lights” and “The Gold Rush” both earned rapturous standing ovations. Timothy Grossman, head of the festival, is cheered. “The audiences‟ response and enthusiasm tell me that Charlie Chaplin is reaching people‟s hearts to this day.” (525 words)6. What does Geraldine Chaplin mean by saying “My father walked through history and he became history” (Paragraph 2)?7. How was Charlie Chaplin‟s visit to Berlin in 1931?8. What is the problem Chaplin found in Hitler‟s acting style?9. Who did Chaplin fall in love with in Berlin?10. Why did Geraldine think her father would approve Timothy Brock‟s practice?Passage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.The idea that the human personality is a blank slate, to be written upon only by experience, prevailed for most of the second half of the 20th century. Over the past two decades, however, that notion has been undermined. Studies comparing identical with non-identical twins have helped to establish the heritability of many aspects of behaviour, and examination of DNA has uncovered some of the genes responsible. Recent work on both these fronts suggests that happiness is highly heritable.As any human being knows, many factors govern whether people are happy or unhappy. External circumstances are important: employed people are happier than unemployed ones and better-off people than poor ones. Age has a role, too: the young and the old are happier than the middle-aged. But personality is the single biggest determinant: extroverts are happier than introverts, and confident people happier than anxious ones.That personality, along with intelligence, is at least partly heritable is becoming increasingly clear; so, presumably, the tendency to be happy or miserable is, to some extent, passed on through DNA. To try to establish just what that extent is, a group of scientists from University College, London examined over 1,000 pairs of twins from a huge study on the health of American adolescents. They conclude that about a third of the variation in people‟s happiness is heritable. That is along the lines of, though a little lower than, previous estimates on the subject.But while twin studies are useful for establishing the extent to which a characteristic is heritable, they do not finger the particular genes at work: One of the researchers, Jan-Emmanuel De Neve has tried to do just that, by picking a popular suspect—the gene that encodes the serotonin-transporter protein, a molecule that shuffles a brain messenger called serotonin through cell membranes—and examining how variants of that gene affect levels of happiness.Serotonin is involved in mood regulation. Serotonin transporters are crucial to this job. The serotonin-transporter gene comes in two functional variants—long and short. The long one-produces more transporter-protein molecules than the short one. People have two versions (known as alleles) of each gene, one from each parent. So some have two short alleles, some have two long ones, and the rest have one of each. The adolescents in Dr De Neve‟s study were asked to grade themselves from very satisfied to very dissatisfied. Dr De Neve found that those with one long allele were8% more likely than those with none to describe themselves as very satisfied; those with two long alleles were 17% more likely.Which is interesting. Where the story could become controversial is when the ethnic origins of the volunteers are taken into account. All were Americans, but they were asked to classify themselves by race as well. On average, the Asian Americans in the sample had 0.69 long genes, the black Americans had 1.47 and the white Americans had 1.12.That result sits comfortably with other studies showing that, on average, Asian countries report lower levels of happiness than their GDP per head would suggest.African countries, however, are all over the place, happiness wise. But that is not surprising, either. Africa is the most genetically diverse continent, because that is where humanity evolved. Black Americans, mostly the descendants of slaves carried away from a few places in west Africa,cannot possibly be representative of the whole continent.These studies may be a few steps too far along the road to genetic determinism for some people. But there is growing interest in the study of happiness, not just among geneticists but also among economists and policymakers dissatisfied with current ways of measuring humanity‟s achievements. Future work in this field will be read avidly in those circles. (622 words)11. Why was the traditional idea of human personality undermined?12. What do the studies on the extent to which happiness is heritable show?13. What does Jan-Emmanuel De Neve‟s study reveal?14. According to the statistics from the passage, which ethnic group(s) may be more likely born tobe happy?15. What is the author‟s attitude towards the studies mentioned in the passage?V. Translation (30 points)Section A (15 points)Directions:Translate the following paragraph into Chinese. Write your translation on the Answer Sheet.As disasters go, this one was terrible, but not unique, certainly not among the worst on the roster of U. S. air crashes. There was the unusual element of the bridge, of course, and the fact that the plane clipped it at a moment of high traffic, one routine thus intersecting another and disrupting both. Then, too, there was the location of the event. Washington, the city of form and regulations, turned chaotic, deregulated, by a blast of real winter and a single slap of metal on metal. The jets from Washington National Airport that normally swoop around the presidential monuments like famished gulls are, for the moment, emblemized by the one that fell; so there is that detail.Section B (15 points)Directions:Translate the following paragraph into English.

当你接触到一本好书的时候，你应该问一问自己，“我是不是愿意像澳大利 亚的矿工一样干活？我的丁字镐和铲子是不是完好无损的，我自己的身体行不 行，我的袖子卷上去了没有，我的呼吸正常吗，我的脾气好不好？”而且呢，这 种干活的架势要坚持得时间长一些，即使令你感到神疲力倦，因为它是十分有用 的，而你所探寻的真金便是作者的心灵或意思，他的文字就像岩石那样，你非得 碾碎熔炼，才能有所收获。你的丁字镐就是你自己的心血、机智、学问；你的熔 炉就是你自己会思考的灵魂。切莫指望不用那些工具和那份磨练就能把握任何优 秀作者的意思；往往你需要最猛烈、最精心的打凿，最耐心的熔化，然后才能够 拾起一点真金。

Many of the leading businessmen of Pittsburgh had a serious responsibility thrust upon them at the very threshold of their career. They were introduced to the broom, and spent the first hours of their business lives sweeping out the office. I notice we have janitors and janitresses now in offices, and our young men unfortunately miss that salutary branch of business education. But if by chance the professional sweeper is absent any morning, the boy who has the genius of the future partner in him will not hesitate totry his hand at the broom. It does not hurt the newest comer to sweep out the office if necessary. I was one of those sweepers myself.Assuming that you have all obtained employment and are fairly started, my advice to you is "aim high. " I would not give a fig for the young man who does not already see himself the partner or the head of an important firm. Do not rest content for a moment in your thoughts as head clerk, or foreman, or general manager in any concern, no matter how extensive. Say to yourself, "My place is at the top. " Be king in your dreams.And here is the prime condition of success, the great secret: concentrate your energy, thought, and capital exclusively upon the business in which you are engaged. Having begun in one line, resolve to fight it out on that line, to lead in it, adopt every improvement, have the best machinery, and know the most about it.汉译英32 据知名分析师称，最近在西非爆发的埃博拉疫情很有可能会损害几内亚、利比里亚和塞拉利昂或许还有尼日利亚的经济增长和财政状况。

There is an old proverb, "Love me, love my dog." But there is more wisdom in this: "Love me, love my book." The book is a truer and higher bond of union. Men can think, feel, and sympathize with each other through their favorite author. They live in him together, and he in them.A good book is often the best urn of a life enshrining the best that life could think out; for the world of a man's life is, for the most part, but the world of his thoughts. Thus the best books are treasuries of good words, the golden thoughts, which, remembered and cherished, become our constant companions and comforters.Books possess an essence of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author's minds, ages ago. What was then said and thought still speaks to us as vividly as ever from the printed page. The only effect of time have been to sift out the bad products; for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.Books introduce us into the best society; they bring us intothe presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did; we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, grieve with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were in a measure actors with them in the scenes which they describe.The great and good do not die, even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which on still listens.汉译英32 中国经济同亚太和世界经济的相互联系、相互依存不断加深。

But garages and cotton gins had encroached and obliterated even the august names of that neighborhood; only Miss Emily's house was left, lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps— an eyesore among eyesores. And now Miss Emily had gone to join the representatives of those august names where they lay in the cedar-bemused cemetery among the ranked and anonymous graves of Union and confederate soldiers who fell at the battle of Jefferson(the Town of Jefferson).Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of heredity obligation upon the town, dating from that day in 1894 when Colonel Sartoris invented an involved tale to the effect that Miss Emily's father had loaned money to the town, which the town, as a matter of business, preferred this way of repaying. Only a man of Colonel Sartoris' generation and thought could have invented it, and only a woman could have believed it. This section above is an excerpt from William Faulkner's short story A Rose for Emily.Please answer the following questions according to the excerpt:19 What is the town people's response toward Emily's death and what's the reason for that? Use your own words to give an illustration.(3 points)20 These paragraphs typically show Faulkner's major concern in literary writing. Please explain Faulkner's literary concern in general with one representative work except this short story.(4 points)21 In the 3rd paragraph, Miss Emily is referred to as "a tradition". What does this tradition mean? When the paragraph ends with the sentence " Only a man of Colonel Sartoris' generation and thought could have invented it, and only a woman could have believed it" , what information does the writer want to give to his readers?(4 points)。
