翻译题每逢新年，人们往往要定新年决心(New Year resolutions)。这是很多人下决心改变旧习惯、适应新的学习和生活方式的时刻。新年决心像其他很多时尚一样，说起来简单做起来难。通过艰苦工作和坚持不懈，把自己的目标、梦想、决心和远大期望变成现实真不是容易的事情。像其他目标和计划一样，新年决心只是口头宣言。如果没有行动和决心来支撑，则毫无意义。

{{B}}Passage 2{{/B}} Trees are so common arid quiet that we pay them little mind. What, for instance, should we answer when asked to name the biggest living thing Earth has ever seen? Dinosaurs? Blue whales? No, the largest sequoias in northern California weigh more than six blue whales. The tallest redwoods and Australian eucalyptus trees tower more than 300 feet high, three times the length of the greatest dinosaur. {{U}} (71) {{/U}}Some bristlecone pine trees in the American West are more than 4, 000 years old, seedlings at the time the Egyptians were building the Pyramids. Trees sustain our lives and our planet in a thousand practical ways. This morning at breakfast—in your wood-framed house, on your wooden kitchen table—you might have enjoyed orange juice or a grapefruit. Both come to use from trees. Over your French toast you may have sprinkled cinnamon and nutmeg, the powdered bark and nuts of tropical trees. That quart of maple syrup on your table was boiled down from roughly 10 gallons of sap from a sugar-maple tree.{{U}} (72) {{/U}}Do you like chocolate, almonds, cola beverages.'? Cocoa beans, almonds and kola nuts are tree products. Frees do more than mule life pleasant; they make life possible. Trees get water through their roots and, primarily through their leaves, they draw carbon dioxide from the air. Then, with the action of sunlight on cells containing chlorophyll and other materials, chemical reactions occur, and oxygen is released.{{U}} (73) {{/U}} Photosynthesis also produces glucose, a type of sugar. Trees convert some of the glucose to starch, which they use for energy storage. The cellulose fiber we call wood is made of thousands of glucose molecules linked into giant chains that no longer taste sweet. {{U}} (74) {{/U}}The ancient Greeks, for example, treated pain with a tea made by boiling willow leaves and bark, a tea modern scientists now know contains silicon, a precursor of acetylsalicylic acid—aspirin.{{U}} (75) {{/U}}More recently, researchers isolated and synthesized the chemical ginkgolide from the tree for use in treating asthma, toxic shock and other ills. A. For centuries, the Chinese have derived medicines from the ginkgo tree. B. Through photosynthesis, an acre of trees produces enough oxygen to sustain three humans. C. As scientists unlock the secrets of trees, they uncover surprising tacts. D. Trees have always been green machines, producing substances that humans learned to use. E. You think, at 150 or more years, giant tortoises can live a long time? F. And the morning newspaper was printed on the processed wood pulp we call paper.

{{B}}Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension{{/B}}{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}{{I}} Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.{{/I}}{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}} In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition (学会) of each new skill--the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality (道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach (说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.

Now, more than ever, it doesn't matter who you are but what you look like. Janet was just twenty-five years old. She had a great job and seemed happy. She committed suicide. In her suicide note she wrote that she felt "un-pretty" and that no man ever loved her. Amy was just fifteen when hospitalized for eating disorders. She suffered from both anorexia and bulimia. She lost more than one hundred pounds in two months. Both victims battled problems with their body image and physical appearance. "Oh, I'm too fat." "My butt is too big and my breasts too small." "I hate my body and I feel ugly." "I want to be beautiful." The number of men and women who feel these things about themselves is increasing dramatically. I can identify two men categories of body-image problems: additive versus subtractive. Those who enhance their appearance through cosmetic surgery fall into the additive group; those who hope to 'improve their looks through starvation belong to the subtractive category. Both groups have two things in common: They are never satisfied and they are always obsessed. Eating disorders afflict as many as five to ten million women and one million men in the United States. One out of four female college students suffers from an eating disorder. But why? Carri Kirby, a University of Nebraska mental health counselor, says that body image and eating disorders are continuum addictions in which individuals seek to discover their identities. The idea that we should look a certain way and possess a certain shape is instilled in us at a very early age. Young girls not only play with Barbie dolls that display impossible, even comical, proportions, but they are also bombarded with images of supermodels. These images leave an indelible mental imprint of what society believes a female body should look like. Kirby adds that there is a halo effect to body image as well: "We immediately identify physical attractiveness to mean success and happiness." The media can be blamed for contributing to various body-image illnesses. We cannot walk into a bookstore without being exposed to perfect male and female bodies on the covers of magazines. We see such images every day--in commercials, billboards, on television, and in movies. These images continually remind women and young girls that if you want to be happy you must be beautiful, and if you want to be beautiful you must be thin. This ideal may be the main objective of the fashion, cosmetic, diet, fitness, and plastic surgery industries who stand to make millions from body-image anxiety. But does it work for us? Are women who lose weight in order to be toothpick thin really happy? Are women who have had breast implants really happy? What truly defines a person? Is it his or her physical appearance or is it character? Beauty is supposed to be "skin deep." But we can all be beautiful inside. People are killing themselves for unrealistic physical standards dictated by our popular culture. We need to be made more aware of this issue. To be celebrity-thin is not to be beautiful nor happy. It can also be unattractive. Individuals who are obsessed with their bodies are only causing damage to themselves and their loved ones. But as long as the media maintain their message that "thin is in," then the medical and psychologies problems our society faces will continue to grow.
