问答题Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.The cost of staging the year 2000 Olympics in Sydney is estimated to be a staggering $960 million, but {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}the city is preparing to reap the financial benefits that come from holding such an international event by equaling the commercial success of Los Angeles, the only city yet to have made a demonstrable profit from the Games in 1984.{{/U}} At precisely 4:20 a.m. on Friday the 24th of September 1993, it was announced that Sydney had beaten five other competing cities around the world, and Australians everywhere, not only Sydneysiders, were justifiably proud of the result. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}But, if Sydney had lost the bid, would the taxpayers of New South Wales and of Australia have approved of governments spending millions of dollars in a failed and costly exercise?{{/U}} There may have been some consolation in the fact that the bid came in $1 million below the revised budget and $5 million below the original budget of $29 million formulated in mid-1991. However, the final cost was the considerable sum of $24 million, the bulk of which was paid for by corporate and community contributions, merchandising, licensing, and the proceeds of lotteries, with the NSW Government, which had originally been willing to spend up to $10 million, contributing some $2 million. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The Federal Government's grant of $5 million meant, in effect, that the Sydney bid was financed by every Australian taxpayer.{{/U}} Prior to the announcement of the winning city, there was considerable debate about the wisdom of taking financial risks of this kind at a time of economic recession. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Others argued that 70% of the facilities were already in place, and all were on government-owned land, removing some potential areas of conflict which troubled previous Olympic bidders.{{/U}} The former NSW Premier, Mr. Nick Greiner, went on record as saying that the advantage of having the Games is not that you are going to have $7.4 billion in extra gross domestic product over the next 14 years, {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}I think the real point is the psychological change, the gaining of confidence, apart from the other more obvious reasons, such as the building of sporting facilities, tourism, and things of that nature.{{/U}}

问答题 American and Japanese researchers are developing a smart car that will help drivers avoid accidents by predicting when they are about to make a dangerous move. The smart car of the future will be able to tell if drivers are going to turn, change lanes, speed up, slow down or pass another car. If the driver's intended action could lead to an accident, the car will activate a warning system or override the move. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}"By shifting the emphasis of car safety away from design of the vehicle itself and looking more toward the driver's behavior, the developers believe that they can start to build cars that adapt to suit people's needs,"{{/U}} New Scientist magazine said. Alex Pentland of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology collaborated on the project with Andrew Liu who works for the Japanese carmaker Nissan. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Tests of their smart car using a driving simulator have shown that it is 95 percent accurate in predicting a driver's move 12 seconds in advance.{{/U}} {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The system is based on driving behavior which the researchers say can be divided into chains of sub-actions which include preparatory moves.{{/U}} It monitors the driver's behavior patterns to predict the next move. "To make its predictions, Nissan's smart car uses a computer and sensors on the steering wheel, accelerator and brake to monitor a person's driving patterns. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}A brief training session, in which the driver is asked to perform certain maneuvers, allows the system to calculate the probability of particular actions occurring in two-second time segments,"{{/U}} the magazine said. Liu has also done work on tracking eye movement to predict driving behavior. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}He said the smart car could be adapted to monitor eye movement which could give even earlier predictions of when a driver is about to make a wrong move.{{/U}}

问答题 Directions : Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Write your translation clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. Bill Gates, the billionaire Microsoft chairman without a single earned university degree, is by his success raising new doubts about the worth of the business world's favorite academic title: the MBA (Master of Business Administration). 61) {{U}}The MBA, a 20th-century product, always has borne the mark of lowly commerce and greed on the tree-lined campuses ruled by purer disciplines such as philosophy and literature.{{/U}} But even with the recession apparently cutting into the hiring of business school graduates, about 79,000 people are expected to receive MBAs in 1993. 62) {{U}}This is nearly 16 times the number of business graduates in 1960, a testimony to the widespread assumption that the MBA is vital for young men and women who want to run companies some day.{{/U}} "If you are going into the corporate world it is still a disadvantage not to have one," said Donald Morrison, professor of marketing and management science. "But in the last five years or so, when someone says, 'Should I attempt to get an MBA, ' the answer a lot more is. It depends." 63) {{U}}The success of Bill Gates and other non-MBAs, such as the late Sam Walton of{{/U}} {{U}}Wal-Mart Stores Inc. , has helped inspire self-conscious debates on business school campuses over the worth of a business degree and whether management skills can be taught.{{/U}} The Harvard Business Review printed a lively, fictional exchange of letters to dramatize complaints about business degree holders. 64) {{U}}The article called MBA hires "extremely disappointing" and said "MBAs want to move up too fast, they don't understand politics and people, and they aren't able to function as part of a team until their third year.{{/U}} But by then, they' re out looking for other jobs. " The problem, most participants in the debate acknowledge, is that the MBA has acquired an aura of future fiches and power far beyond its actual importance and usefulness. Enrollment in business schools exploded in the t970s and 1980s and created the assumption that no one who pursued a business career could do without one. The growth was fueled by a backlash against the anti-business values of the 1960s and by the women's movement. 65) {{U}}Business people who have hired or worked with MBAs say those with the degrees often know how to analyze systems but are not so skillful at motivating people.{{/U}} "They don't get a lot of grounding in the people side of the business. " said James Shaffer, vice-president and principal of the Towers Perrin management consulting firm.
