问答题 (46)U. S. farmers are planting more acres of crops using soil building and pollution fighting farming systems than traditional methods that rely on the plow or intensive tillage, according to a report due to be released early next month. The report, titled " National Crop Residue Management Survey, " shows a 6 million acre gain for environmentally friendly farming systems this year. (47)It also shows traditional farming methods, which result in greater soil erosion and run off from fields, declined by 4 million acres. (48)The Survey, conducted on a county-by-county basis by USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), indicates that farmers in Iowa, Illinois, South Dakota, Kansas, and Indiana contributed the most to the increase ill acres grown with environmentally friendly farming systems known as conservation tillage systems. These states accounted for 5 million of the 6 million acre increase in conservation tillage this year. All conservation tillage systems, such as no-till, mulch-till, ridge-till, strip-till, and zone-till, rely on less tillage or less soil disturbance to plant and manage crops. Farmers who use these systems leave plant materials-stems, stalks, and leaves-on the surface of fields after harvest. The plant materials, also called crop residues, serve as a blanket to protect the soil from erosion. The crop residues slowly decompose to add organic matter to the soil much like mulching or composting adds organic matter to a garden. The survey results for 1997 indicate that conservation tillage systems now account for 109.8 million acres or fully 37 percent of the 294.6 million annually planted cropland acres in the United States. In the meantime, traditional systems that rely on the plow or intensive tillage fell to 107.6 million acres this year. The remaining acres are in an intermediate farming system known as reduced till. (49)The head of the nonprofit center that compiles and publishes the annual survey is calling on consumers and farmers alike to focus increased attention on conservation tillage systems. " (50)Independent research and practical application across the country show that these systems not only replenish and build organic matter in the soil for improved future food productivity but they will also protect water quality and enhance wildlife and the environment for future generations, " says John Hebblethwaite, executive director of the Conservation Technology Information Center. " There is also growing evidence that these systems can even help us combat the potential for global warming, " he adds.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. An awkward-looking character such as Cyrano de Bergerac might sniff at the suggestion, but recent scientific research shows beauty, brains and brawn may in fact all be allied, writes Dr Raj Persaud. (46) {{U}}Psychologists have concluded that we may be drawn to the stereotypically attractive because of what their faces reveal about their intelligence and success in later life{{/U}}. In American, research led by Professor Leslie Zebrowitz, of Brandeis University, has shown an association between facial attractive and IQ. Strangers briefly exposed to a target's face were able to correctly judge intelligence at levels significantly better than chance. The same team also researched how a person's attractiveness might bear relation to their intelligence. They found that good-looking people did better in IQ tests as they aged. (47) {{U}}Their research sought to prove that how a person perceived himself and was perceived by others predicted how intelligent he apparently became more accurately than his past intelligence{{/U}}. (48){{U}} Perhaps because the more attractive people were treated as more intelligent, they ended up having more stimulating and, therefore, intelligence-enhancing lives{{/U}}. Does this mean that your face really could be your destiny? Sociologists Dr Ulrich Mueller and Dr Allan Mazur, of the University of Marburg in Germany, recently analyzed the final year photographs of the 1950 graduates of West Point in the United States. Dominant facial appearances turned out to be a consistent predictor of later-rank attainment: Again, they believed there could be a self-fulfilling effect. (49) {{U}}Because some men looked more authoritative, they naturally drew respect and obedience from others which, in turn, assisted their rise through the ranks{{/U}}. A team at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin has been investigating the sensitive subject of links between physical and mental abnormalities. Led by Doctors Robin Hennessy and John Waddington, the team used a new laser surface-scanning technique to make a 3-D analysis of how facial shape might vary with brain structure. Their findings showed that in early fetal life, brain and face development are intimately connected. From this they concluded that abnormalities in brain elaboration probably also affect face development. This, according to them, explains the striking facial features of some one with Down's syndrome. (50) {{U}}Using similar techniques, the team also demonstrated how other disorders linked to brain aberrations could be associated with facial alterations{{/U}}. So the very latest scientific research suggests that nobody should try to look too obviously different from average.

问答题Both societies, moreover, have developed to the highest levels the arts of business and commerce, of buying and selling, and of advertising and mass producing. Few sights are more reassuring to Americans that the tens of thousands of bustling stores seen in 5apan, especially the beautiful, well-stocked department stores. To American eyes, they seem just like Macy's or Neiman Marcus at home. In addition, both Japan and America are consumer societies. The people of both countries love to shop and are enthusiastic consumers of convenience products and fast foods. Vending machines selling everything from fresh flowers to hot coffee are as popular in Japan as they are in America, and fast-food noodle shops are as common in Japan as McDonald's restaurants are in America.

问答题There"s been a warning that China faces a diabetes epidemic that almost one in ten adults now has the disease. Chinese researchers" writing in The New England Journal of Medicine found that most cases were undiagnosed. The scale of the problem revealed by the study has shocked even the researchers themselves. They said rigorous new tests indicated that more than 92 million Chinese adults had diabetes, twice as many as previously thought. Nearly 150 million more were showing early symptoms. The researchers said rapid economic growth was partly to blame, through urbanisation, changed diets and more sedentary life styles. The figures are high because of the size of China"s population and they represent a major public health problem for the authorities in Beijing.

问答题In recent years there has been considerable discussion of the relation between science and the humanities. The differences in attitudes are related in part to the different objectives of science and the humanities. In gross terms, one objective of science is to achieve precise and parsimonious statements about the structure and processes of the animate and inanimate world. Ideally, these statements allow us to describe, understand, and predict something about that world. As stated earlier, elegance or aesthetic appeal have their place in the world of the scientist, but these qualities can be expressed in terms of precision and parsimony. A primary objective of the humanities is to enrich the life of the beholder by arousing some sensual experience, emotion, or feeling. Some of these feelings are quite complex and intricate, and need developing an activity that requires a great deal of talent. There are a number of ways in which the humanities and sciences are alike. One of the principal likenesses is the motivations for both groups.

问答题In the past decade emerging markets have established themselves as the world"s fastest growing economy. Lately, though, the sprinters have started to slow down. Last week China reported its slowest growth in three years. India recently recorded its weakest performance since 2004. Only Russia was spared. Some investors darkly recall the developing world"s crisis-prone history and wonder whether the worst is yet to come. No crisis looms, but serious concern is justified, for the emerging world faces two distinct risks: a cyclical slowdown and a longer-tern erosion of potential growth. The first should be reasonably easy to deal with. The second will not.

问答题Please comment on the following poem"s theme, historical significance and stylistic features in about 600 words. (90 points)The Love Song of J. Alfred PrufrockS "io credesse che mia risposta fosseA persona che mai tornasse al mondo,Questafiama staria senzapiu scosse.Maperciocche giammai di questo fondoNon torno vivo alcun, s"I"odo il veroSenza tema d"infamia ti rispondo.Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the skyLike a patient etherized upon a table;Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,The muttering retreatsOf restless nights in one-night cheap hotelAnd sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells;Streets tat follow like a tedious argumentOf insidious intentTo lead you to an overwhelming question...Oh, do not ask, "What is it?"Let us go and make our visit.In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo.The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,And seeing that it was a soft October night,Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.And indeed there will be timeFor the yellow smoke that slides along the street,Rubbing its back upon the window-panes;There will be time, there will be timeTo prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;There will be time to murder and create,And time for all the works and days of handsThat lift and drop a question on your plateTime for you and time for me,And time yet for a hundred indecisions,And for a hundred visions and revisions,Before the taking of a toast and tea.In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo.And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"Time to turn back and descend the stair,With a bald spot in the middle of my hair—(They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!")My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin—(They will say:" By how his arms and legs are thin!")Do I dare?Disturb the universe?In a minute there is timeFor decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.For I have known them all already, known them all—Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;I know the voices dying with coffee spoons;I know the voices dying with a dying fallBeneath the music from a farther room.So how should I presume?And I have known the eyes already, known them all—The eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase,And when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,Then how should I beginTo spit out all the butt-ends of my days and ways?And how should I presume?And I have known the arms already, known them all—Arms that are braceleted and white and bare(But in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair!)Is it perfume from a dressThat makes me so digress?Arms that lie along a table, or wrap about a shawl.And should I then presume?And how should I begin?Shall I say, I have gone at dusk through narrow streetsAnd watched the smoke that rises from the pipes Of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows?I should have been a pair of ragged claws Scuttling across the floors of silent seas...……And the afternoon, the evening, sleeps so peacefully!Smoothed by long fingers,Asleep... tired... or it malingers,Stretched on the floor, here beside you and me.Should I, after tea and cakes and ices,Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis?But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed,Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter,I am no prophet—and here"s no great matter;I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker,And I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker,And in short, I was afraid.And would it have been worth it, after all,After the cups, the marmalade, the tea,Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me,Would it have been worth while,To have bitten off the matter with a smile,To have squeezed the universe into a ballTo roll it towards some overwhelming question, .To say: "I am Lazarus, come from the dead,Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"—If one, settling a pillow by her head,Should say: "That is not what I meant at all.That is not it, at all."And would it have been worth it, after all,Would it have been worth while,After the sunsets and the dooryards and the sprinkled streets,After the novels, after the teacups, after the skirts that trail alongThe floor—And this, and so much more? —It is impossible to say just what I mean!But as if a magic lantern threw the nerves in patterns on a screen:Would it have been worth whileIf one, settling a pillow or throwing off a shawl,And turning toward the window, should say:"That is not it at all,That is not what I meant, at all."No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;Am an attendant lord, one that will doTo swell a progress, start a scene or two.Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,Deferential, glad to be of usePolitic, cautious, and meticulous;Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;At times, indeed, almost ridiculous-Almost, at times, the Fool.I grow old... I grow old... I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.I do not thing that they will sing to me.I have seen them riding seaward on the wavesCombing the white hair of the waves blown backWhen the wind blows the water white and black.We have lingered in the chambers of the seaBy sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brownTill human voices wake us, and we drown.
