填空题English-Chinese Translation．(四川大学2013研，考试科目：基础英语)And, consequently, Marx was the best-hated and most calumniated man of his time. Governments, both absolutist and republican, deported him from their territories. Bourgeois, whether conservative or ultra-democratic, vied with one another in heaping slanders upon him. All this he brushed aside as though it were cobweb, ignoring it, answering only when extreme necessity compelled him. And he died beloved, revered and mourned by millions of revolutionary fellow-workers—from the mines of Siberia to California, in all parts of Europe and America—and I make bold to say that though he may have had many opponents he had hardly one personal enemy.

填空题A. More troubling than determining how to patent the genome is the larger question of whether anyone ought to be laying claim to human DNA at all. This is partly an economic issue. If the entire genetic schematic is pre-emptively owned by the research teams studying it now, where is the incentive for independent scientists—often sources of great innovation—to work on it later? Licensing costs, warns Jeffrey Kahn, director Of the University of Minnesota"s Center for Bioethics, could hold medical progress hostage. Patenting proponents insist that an equally persuasive argument could be made that the large genome-mapping groups need patent protection to make their work worthwhile to them. B. It"s not for nothing that scientists are in such a footrace to get the human genome mapped. There"s more than just knowledge at stake, after all—there"s money. Who walks away with most of the booty won"t be decided in labs or universities, however, but in courts and patent offices. C. Not only can such filings be sloppy genetics, they can also be bad business. EST applications may lead to so-called submarine patents, claims that are made today and then vanish, only to reappear when some unsuspecting scientist finds something useful to do with genes hidden in the patent. To prevent this, Lehman requires that EST applications include no more than 10 genetic sequences. Each 10 after that requires a separate application—and a separate filing fee. "Companies will now have an incentive to file more selective applications," says Lehman. D. The biggest problem with patenting genes is that while scientists have at least a general idea of what specific strands of genetic coding do, often it"s just that—general. Investigators do sometimes succeed in isolating a single, crisp gene with a single known function. Often, however, researchers trying to map genes get no further than marking off fragmentary stretches of DNA that may be thousands of bases in length. These so-called expressed sequence tags may have real genetic information embedded in them, but determining where those nuggets are and what their structure is takes more digging. E. Stickier than the economic question is the ethical one. Most of us reflexively shrink from the idea of anyone"s owning the rights to any part of the human form. Besides, if the first anatomist to spot, say, the pancreas was not granted title to it, why should modem genome-mapping scientists be able to claim even a single gene? As Kahn points out, "You could patent a system for mining gold from ore. We don"t let people patent the gold." That kind of argument is grounded not in law but in the very idea of what it means to be human—an issue that even the highest federal court is not likely to settle. F. Geneticists have lately been filing patent applications for these ESTs anyway, figuring that it"s best to protect their turf now and go spelunking around in it later. In a science that prizes precision above all else, this can be an odd way to do business. "I would guess that in many cases the scientists didn"t even examine all the material," says Bruce Lehman, commissioner of the Patent and Trademark Office. G. Though deciphering the entire human genetic blueprint is still a few years away, scientists have begun laying claim to the stretches of DNA whose codes they have succeeded in cracking. In recent years researchers have flooded the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office with applications for thousands of genes and gene fragments—and they have stirred a lot of controversy in the process.

填空题Translation from Chinese into English．(西安电子科技大学2008研，考试科目：英语语法与翻译) 兴教寺是我国古代著名翻译家、旅行家玄奘法师长眠之地，位于西安城南约20公里处。 玄奘从印度取经回来后，倾注全部心血译经19年，不幸积劳成疾于公元663年圆寂于玉华宫(在今陕西铜川市)。玄奘去世后，遗体运回长安，安葬在东郊白鹿原上。白鹿原地势很高，站在皇宫内的含元殿就能看到。高宗十分敬重玄奘，当初听到玄奘逝世的噩耗，曾罢朝致哀，连连哀叹：“朕失国宝矣。”因此每当看到白鹿原上玄奘的茔墓，高宗都禁不住心伤泪下。他想长期这样下去必然有损自己的身体健康，于是诏令将玄奘的遗骨于公元669年迁葬到远离长安城的少陵原上，同时修建了寺院。唐肃宗为玄樊的舍利塔亲自题写了塔额“兴教”二字。意思是要继承玄奘的事业，大兴佛教。从此，这个寺院就叫做兴教寺。 唐末，兴教寺因战乱被烧毁，唯一幸存的玄奘和他俩位弟子的舍利塔，现在的兴教寺是1922年和1939年重修的。建国后，人民政府又多次拨款整修这座唐代名刹。现在兴教寺是全国重点文物保护单位。 大雄宝殿内的铜像是明代遗物。另一玉佛是缅甸赠送的。佛像前的点心、炸食都是当地群众来寺院上香时摆的供品。我国宪法明文规定，公民有信仰宗教的自由，因而兴教寺香火四季不断。
