填空题English-Chinese Translation．(华中师范大学2009研，考试科目：写作翻译)On Not Answering the TelephoneSuppose you ignore the telephone when it rings, and suppose that, for once, somebody has an important message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Think of the proverb: "Ill news travels apace. " I must say good news seems to travel just as fast. And think of the saying: "The truth will out. " It will. But suppose you answer the telephone when it rings. If, when you take off the receiver, yousay "Hello!" just think how absurd that is. Why, you might be saying "Hello!" to a total stranger, a thing you would certainly think twice about before doing in public, if you were English.But perhaps, when you take off the receiver, you give your number or your name. But you don"t even know whom you are giving it to! Perhaps you have been indiscreet enough to have your name and number printed in the telephone directory, a book with a large circulation, a successful book so often reprinted as to make any author envious, a book more in evidence than Shakespeare or the Bible, and found in all sorts of private and public places. By your self-advertisement you have enabled any stranger, bore, intruder, or criminal to engage you in conversation at a moment"s notice in what ought to be the privacy of your own home.

填空题 Harold Varmus is a man on a mission-a quest to liberate scientific knowledge from the bounds of journals and copyrights and make it free to all. This is no small issue to the Nobel winner, cancer researcher, and president of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. {{U}} {{U}} 16 {{/U}} {{/U}} To Varmus, what scientists do, how they think, and what they write should be immediately and freely available online throughout the world. And if taxpayers support science, he says, sharing should be mandatory. Varmus began promoting "open access" in 1999 during his last year as director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Later, with a few colleagues and heavy philanthropic support, he established the Public Library of Science to show the way by publishing several prestigious open-access journals. Historically, scientific journals pay for peer reviews, editing, and other costs through ads and subscription fees. {{U}} {{U}} 17 {{/U}} {{/U}}By contrast, the open-access model calls for the researchers (or their grants) to pay for publishing at a cost of some ＄2,000 to ＄3,000 or more per article. It sounds sensible, but the author-pay approach has faced resistance on several fronts. Some scientists, particularly those younger and less well funded, worry that the fees will limit their publishing. {{U}} {{U}} 18 {{/U}} {{/U}}Journals fault a model that burdens relatively few researchers with costs now shared by the large reader base. And others worry, about government intrusion. The push-back is something Varnms concedes he underestimated. But he got an inkling when an effort he led in 2000 fell flat. Thousands of scientists had pledged to boycott journals unwilling to make their articles free through the National Library of Medicine, but few "kept their promise. Scientific careers still depend greatly on publishing in established journals. But Vannus persisted. He stressed that lay readers, not just scientists, were being deprived of knowledge. And now, more organizations are endorsing the concept. Varmus, 67, admits that the project has consumed more time than he had hoped. But it is succeeding so far because of his leadership. On this, he gives a nod to his Nobel Prize. "I don't believe that some of the things that I've been able to do in the last few years would have been possible without that little ornament," he says. {{U}} {{U}} 19 {{/U}} {{/U}}At Sloan-Kettering, as he did at NIH, he walks around tieless and carrying a backpack, and he works alongside students in his own research lab. As he does, he urges researchers to go beyond the lab, to become scientific activists for a better world. {{U}} {{U}} 20 {{/U}} {{/U}}The common language of science not only can help solve problems, he says; it also can unite people across unfriendly borders. A. It's more than that, though. Informing his leadership is a passion for science-with its "special powers and special beauties"-and his identity as a working scientist, not just an administration. B. If we speak that language, Varmus says, "we'll build one world. If we don't, we're going to live in a fragmented world, as we do now." C. Access to scientific literature is only one step; poorer nations also need a greater share of scientific investment, he says. D. In fact, it is symbolic of Varmus's view that science is critical to improving the human condition and, thus, must be shared. E. A bill in Congress would require scientists supported by the NIH to submit work only to journals that agree to make it free online within a year. F. Subscriptions often amount to hundreds of dollars per year, posing financial hurdles to readers, especially when multiplied by many journals. G. Others are concerned that hundreds of millions of NIH dollars will be diverted from research and into publishing.

填空题How hard is it to get beautiful hair? Beautiful hair cannot be taken for granted. Environmental factors, chemical treatments and the mechanical damage done by combs, brushes and blow dryers all have a bad effect on the hair in the long run. The hair parts into thin pieces, loses its brightness, becomes hard and easily broken and develops split ends. Our Heated Scissors, a new approach to pretty hair, is a modern technological device available in most cities now. No hairdresser needs to be told how crucial the quality of pair of scissors is. But all the same, few have imagined a cutting tool as sharp as razors. What"s more, the heating element is located in the interior of the edges, with the best possible heat transference to the cutting edges. Heated cutting edges with individually adjustable temperatures seal the cuts instantly. The cut end of the hair is closed up smoothly and neatly. Right from the very first cut, the hair takes on a new look with a brilliant shine.

填空题The prospects of a good catch looked bleak.

填空题English-Chinese Translation．(武汉理工大学2008研，考试科目：基础英语)About 150 years ago, a village church vicar in York-shire, England, had three lovely, intelligent daughters but his hopes hinged entirely on the sole male heir, Branwell, a youth with remarkable talent in both art and literature.Branwell"s father and sisters hoarded their pennies to pack him off to London"s Royal Academy of Arts, but if art was his calling, he dialed a wrong number. Within weeks he hightailed it home, a penniless failure.Hopes still high, the family landed Branwell a job as a private tutor, hoping this would flee him to develop his literary skills and achieve the success and fame that he deserved. Failure again.For years the selfless sisters squelched their own goals, farming themselves out as teachers and governesses in support their increasingly indebted brother, convinced the world must eventually recognize his genius. As failure multiplied, Branwell turned to alcohol, then opium, and eventually died as he had lived:a failure. So died hope in the one male—but what of the three anonymous sisters?.Undaunted, they continued in their spare time, late at night by candlelight, to pour out their pent-up emotion, writing of what they knew best, of women in conflict with their natural desires and social condition—in reality, less fiction than autobiography! And 19th century literature was transformed by Anne"s Agnes Grey, Emily"s Wuthering Heights, and Charlotte"s Jane. Eyre.But years of sacrifice for Branwell had taken their toll. Emily took ill at her brother"s funeral and died within 3months, aged 29:Anne died 5 months later, aged 30:Charlotte lived only to age 39. If only they had been nurtured instead of sacrificed.No one remembers BranwelPs name, much less his art or literature, but the Bronte sisters" tragically short lives teach us even more of life than literature. Their sacrificed genius cries out to us that in modern society we must value children not by their physical strength or sexual gender, as we would any mere beast of burden, but by their integrity, strength, commitment, courage—spiritual qualities abundant in both boys and girls. China, a nation blessed by more boys and girls than any nation, ignores at her own peril the lesson of the Bronte tragedy.
