问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Radiation occurs from three natural sources: radioactive material in the environment, such as in soil, rock, or building materials; cosmic rays; and substances in the human body, such as radioactive potassium in bone and radioactive carbon in tissues. These natural sources account for an exposure of about 100 millirems a year for the average American. The largest single source of man-made radiation in medical x-rays, yet most scientists agree that hazards from this source are not as great as those from weapons test fallout, since strontium-90 and carbon-14 become incorporated into the body, hence delivering radiation for an entire lifetime. (46){{U}}The issue is, however, by no means uncontroversial; indeed, the last two decades have witnessed intensified examination and dispute about the effects of low-level radiation.{{/U}} A survey conducted in Britain confirmed that an abnormally high percentage of patients suffering from arthritis of the spine who had been treated with x-rays contracted cancer. Another study revealed a high incidence of childhood cancer in cases where the mother had been given x-rays. (47){{U}}These studies have pointed to the need to re-examine the assumption that exposure to low linear energy transfer presented only a minor risk.{{/U}} Recently, examination of the death certificates of former employees of a West Coast plant which produces plutonium for nuclear weapons revealed markedly higher rates for cancers of the pancreas, lung, bone marrow and lymph systems than would have been expected in a normal population. (48){{U}}While the National Academy of Sciences committee attributes these differences to chemical or other environmental causes, rather than radiation, other scientists maintain that any radiation exposure, no matter how small, leads to an increase in cancer risk.{{/U}} (49){{U}}It is believed by some that a dose of one rem, if sustained over many generations, would lead to an increase of one percent in the number of 1,000 disorders per million births.{{/U}} In the meantime, regulatory efforts have been disorganized, fragmented, and inconsistent, characterized by internecine strife and bureaucratic delays. A Senate report concluded that coordination of regulation among involved departments and agencies was not possible because of jurisdictional disputes and confusion. (50){{U}}One Federal agency has been unsuccessful in its efforts to obtain sufficient funding and manpower for the enforcement of existing radiation laws, and the chairperson of a panel especially created to develop a coordinated Federal program has resigned.{{/U}}

问答题 The French are the masters of "grands projets". (46){{U}}They have the cruelnes, national pride and willingness to spend that are needed for great public works.{{/U}} (47){{U}}The British, on the other hand are usually dismissed as too mean, troubled by regulations and lacking in vision, to build anything worthwhile.{{/U}} But occasionally the bulldog triumphs. Take, for example, that grandest, of grands projets, the national library. The Bibliotheque Nationale de France. fast-tracked by President Mitterrand, was planned and built in less than a decade. With its four 80-metre-high glass towers, designed to resemble open books, the library was hailed as a wonder of design and construction when it opened in 1998. (48){{U}}Its 11 million books, protected by automatic climate control, were planned to be instantly accessible, with the help of computerised automatic loading trains running on miles of trains. {{/U}}All this, for FFr 8 billion (pounds 861 million), was hailed as evidence that the glory of France was alive and well. The British Library, which cost a third less, became a symbol of national incompetence. First conceived in 1962, it. ran into trouble from the start. (49){{U}} After three decades of bitter controversy, planning delays and money problems, the new red-brick library, designed by Colin St John Wilson finally opened for business in 1997.{{/U}} The reviews, given its troubled history, were predictably mixed. The Prince of Wales, who had unveiled the foundation stone, compared it to "an academy for secret police". Matters look different today. The British Library is widely acknowledged as one of London's best modem buildings, a triumph of design over adversity. Those who work there sing its praises. The Bibliotheque Nationale, by contrast, has become notorious for its poor design and even worse construction. Its high technology search system has. proved a nightmare. Its glass construction bakes books in summer. Its freezing winter temperatures have provoked its 3,000 staff to strike. {{U}}(50) Conditions became so intolerable that soon after it opened several hundred frustrated students stormed a reading room trampling library staff under foot, {{/U}}Dismissed by three famous French professors as a "sinister fame", la grande bibliotheque proves that victory does not always go to the swiftest.

问答题Mental health is our birthright. 1 We don"t have to learn how to be mentally healthy; it is built into us in the same way that our bodies know how to heal a cut or mend a broken bone. Mental health can"t be learned, only reawakened. It is like the immune system of the body, which under stress or through lack of nutrition or exercise can be weakened, but which never leaves us. When we don"t understand the value of mental health and we don"t know how to gain access to it, mental health will remain hidden from us. 2 Our mental health doesn"t really go anywhere; like the sun behind a cloud, it can be temporarily hidden from view, but it is fully capable of being restored in an instant. Mental health is the seed that contains self-esteem—confidence in ourselves and an ability to trust in our common sense. It allows us to have perspective on our lives—the ability to not take ourselves too seriously, to laugh at ourselves, to see the bigger picture, and to see that things will work out. It"s a form of innate or unlearned optimism. 3 Mental health allows us to view others with sympathy if they are having troubles, with kindness if they are in pain, and with unconditional love no matter who they are. Mental health is the source of creativity for solving problems, resolving conflict, making our surroundings more beautiful, managing our home life, or coming up with a creative business idea or invention to make our lives easier. It gives us patience for ourselves and toward others as well as patience while driving, catching a fish, working on our car, or raising a child. It allows us to see the beauty that surrounds us each moment in nature, in culture, in the flow of our daily lives. 4 Although mental health is the cure-all for living our lives, it is perfectly ordinary as you will see that it has been there to direct you through all your difficult decisions. It has been available even in the most mundane of life situations to show you right from wrong, good from bad, friend from foe. Mental health has commonly been called conscience, instinct, wisdom, common sense, or the inner voice. We think of it simply as a healthy and helpful flow of intelligent thought. 5 As you will come to see, knowing that mental health is always available and knowing to trust it allow us to slow down to the moment and live life happily.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. One thing that distinguishes the online world from the real one is that it is very easy to find things. To find a copy of The Economist in print, one has to go to a newsstand, which may or may not carry it. Finding it online, though, is a different proposition. Just go to Google, type it in" economist" and you will be instantly directed to economist.com. (46) {{U}}Indeed, until Google, now the world's most popular search engine, came on to the scene in September 1998, searching online was a hit-or-miss affair.{{/U}} Google was vastly better than anything that had come before: so much better, in fact, that it changed the way many people use the web. (47) {{U}}Almost overnight, it made the web far more useful, particularly for non-specialist users, many of whom regard Google as the Internet's front door.{{/U}} It's now a worldwide phenomenon. Not only has it made the Internet into an extremely fast and valuable research tool, it's become a common word and has even created a new verb" to google." (48){{U}}The recent fuss over Google's stock market flotation obscures its far wider social significance: few technologies, after all, are so influential that their names have become a household verb such as the cloning technology creates the verb" to clone".{{/U}} Google began in 1998 as an academic research project by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page, who were then graduate students at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. It was not the first search engine, of course. (49) {{U}}Existing search engines were able to scan a large portion of the web, build an index, and then find pages that matched particular words, but were less good at presenting those pages, which might number in the hundreds of thousands, in a useful way.{{/U}} Mr. Brin's and Mr. Page's accomplishment was to devise a way to sort the results by determining which pages were likely to be most relevant. They did so by using a mathematical program, called PageRank. (50) {{U}}This program is at the heart of Google's success, distinguishing it from all search engines and accounting for its apparently magical ability to find the most useful web pages.{{/U}} With this powerful ability. Google distinguished itself from among all the search engines and became an established standing research tool in the online world.

问答题In Plato’s Utopia, here are three classes: the common people, the soldiers, and the guardians chosen by the legislator. The main problem, as Plato perceives, is to insure that the guardians shall carry out the intention of the legislator. For this purpose the first thing he proposes is education. Education is divided into two parts, music and gymnastics. (46)Each has a wider meaning than at present: “music” means everything that is in the province of the muses, and “gymnastics” means everything concerned with physical training fitness. “Music” is almost as wide as what is now called “culture”, and “gymnastics” is somewhat wider than what “athletics” mean in the modern sense. Culture is to be devoted to making men gentlemen, in the sense which, largely owing to Plato, is familiar in England. The Athens of his day was, in one respect, analogous to England in the nineteenth century: (47) there was in each an aristocracy enjoying wealth and social prestige, but having no monopoly of political power; and in each the aristocracy had to secure as much power as it could by means of impressive behavior. In Plato’s Utopia, however, the aristocracy rules unchecked. Gravity, decorum and courage seem to be the qualities mainly to be cultivated in education. (48)There is to be a rigid censorship from very early years over the literature to which the young have access and the music they are allowed to hear. Mothers and nurses are to tell their children only authorized stories. Also, there is a censorship of music. The Lydian and Ionian harmonies are to be forbidden, the first because it expresses sorrow, the second because it is relaxed. (49)Only the Dorian (for courage) and the Phrygian (for temperance) are to be allowed, and permissible rhythms must be simple, and such as are expressive of a courageous and harmonious life. As for gymnastics, the training of the body is to be very austere. No one is to eat fish, or meat cooked otherwise than roasted, and there must be no sauces or candies. People brought up on his regimen, he says, will have no need of doctors. Gymnastics applies to the training of mind as well. Up to a certain age, the young are to see no ugliness or vice. (50)But at a suitable moment, they must be exposed to “enchantments”, both in the shape of terrors that must not terrify, and of bad pleasures that must not seduce the will. Only after they have withstood these tests will they be judged fit to be guardians.
