问答题Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.June 8th, 2011, was World IPv6 Day—the first major deployment of Internet Protocol version 6. Hundreds of Internet service providers and Web companies tested IPv6 on their websites. This new numbering system for Internet addresses has been available for years. But very few companies have switched to it. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Yet the old system could run out of addresses this year because of all the growth in online devices.{{/U}} Doug Szajda, a computer science professor at the University of Richmond in Virginia, explains. Doug Szajda says: "It's sort of like the post office of the Internet. It tells you how to get information from one computer to another. Currently, and since around 1980, the addressing system has been IP version 4. But the problem with that is that we've run out of addresses. So it's almost as if, when a new house is built, you can't give it an address because you don't have any more." IPv4 was designed to handle just over four billion IP addresses. Doug Szajda says that seemed like more than enough. Doug Szajda says: "{{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}At the time that IP version 4 was designed, the designers were anticipating perhaps thousands of users of the Internet someday, and certainly thinking that four billion addresses were many more than we would ever need."{{/U}} Yet now, not just computers but smartphones, cars, televisions, game systems and plenty of other devices all connect to the Internet. Each uses a different IP address. The basic standards for IPv6 were first published in 1998. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Doug Szajda says its most important feature is the ability to provide what seems like an unlimited number of IP addresses.{{/U}} Well, there is a limit—three hundred forty trillion trillion trillion in fact, or three hundred forty undecillion. That's three hundred forty followed by thirty-six zeros. Experts say the challenge now is to get the world to use it. Mr. Szajda says that was the real purpose of last week's World IPv6 Day sponsored by the Internet Society. Doug Szajda says: "{{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}It was less a worldwide test than a means of generating some incentive for vendors to realize we can't drag our feet anymore. This has to happen."{{/U}} {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}The process of switching to IPv6 can be complex and costly, which could explain why so few companies have made the switch.{{/U}} CompTIA, the Computing Technology Industry Association, recently did an opinion study. The group talked to more than four hundred information technology and business leaders in the United States. Only twenty-one percent said they have started doing work to upgrade their networks to the new system.

问答题In his autobiography, Darwin himself speaks of his intellectual powers with extraordinary modesty. He points out that he always experienced much difficulty in expressing himself clearly and concisely, but (61) he believes that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long and intently about every sentence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own observations. He disclaimed the possession of any great quickness of apprehension or wit, such as distinguished Huxley. (62) He asserted, also, that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics. His memory, too, he described as extensive, but hazy. So poor in one sense was it that he never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry. (63) On the other hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning. This, he thought, could not be true, because the Origin of Species is one long argument from the beginning to the end, and has convinced many able men. No one, he submits, could have written it without possessing some power of reasoning. He was Willing to assert that "I have a fair share of invention, and of common sense or judgment, such as every fairly successful lawyer or doctor must have, but not, I believe, in any higher degree. " (64) He adds humbly that perhaps he was "superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully. " Writing in the last year of his life, he expressed the opinion that in two or three respects his mind had changed during the preceding twenty or thirty years. Up to the age of thirty or beyond it poetry of many kinds gave him great pleasure. Formerly, too, pictures had given him considerable, and music very great, delight. In 1881, however, he said: "Now for many years I cannot endure to read a line of poetry. I have also almost lost my taste for pictures or music. " (65)Darwin was convinced that the loss of these tastes was not only a loss of happiness, but might possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character.

问答题The world's environment is surprisingly healthy. Discuss. If there were an examination topic, most students would tear it apart, offering a long list of complaints from local smog (烟雾) to global climate change, from the felling (砍伐) of forests to the extinction of species. The list would largely be accurate, the concern legitimate. Yet the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement. The surprise is how good things are, not how bad. After all, the world's population has more than tripled during this century, and world output has risen hugely, so you would expect the earth itself to have been affected. Indeed, if people lived, consumed and produced things in the same way as they did in 1900 (or 1950, or indeed 1980), the world by now would be a pretty disgusting place, smelly, dirty, toxic and dangerous. But they don't. The reasons why they don't, and why the environment has not been ruined, have to do with prices, technological innovation, social change and government regulation in response to popular pressure. That is why today's environmental problems in the poor countries ought, in principle, to be solvable. Raw materials have not run out, and show no sign of doing so. Logically, one day they must: the planet is a finite place. Yet it is also very big, and man is very ingenious. What has happened is that every time a material seems to be running short, the price has risen and, in response, people have looked for new sources of supply, tried to find ways to use less of the material, or looked for a new substitute. For this reason prices for energy and for minerals have fallen in real terms during the century. The same is true for food. Prices fluctuate, in response to harvests, natural disasters and political instability; and when they rise, it takes some time before new sources of supply become available. But they always do, assisted by new farming and crop technology. The long term trend has been downwards. It is where prices and markets do not operate properly that this benign(良性的) trend be gins to stumble, and the genuine problems arise. Markets cannot always keep the environment healthy. If no one owns the resource concerned, no one has an interest in conserving it or fostering it: fish is the best example of this.1.Yet the students who should be given the highest marks would actually be those who agreed with the statement.

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. A continuing phenomenon in business education is the emphasis on ethics. The American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) accreditation standards emphasize the need for an ethical awareness along with an understanding of "influence of political, social, legal and regulatory, environmental, and technological issues..." 61) {{U}}One of the difficult ethical challenges it wants addressed concerns " inclusiveness," which we have interpreted to mean a "large umbrella" approach, in, for example, employee concerns. To this end, matters such as sexual preference are dealt with in a case involving a supervisor.{{/U}} 62) {{U}}Possibly the greatest ethical idea that could build bridges in an increasingly fragmented society is the idea that empirical evidence must be sought and used to bring an agreement in controversial public issues.{{/U}} Clearly the greatest impact upon the business enterprise evidencing external political and social environments occurs with respect to law. Law is the way in which society and the political process translating into concrete form the forces shaping the business environment. Perhaps the most important development is the recognition that positive law has become the ethic of our time. 63) {{U}}A key reason for this is the highly competitive nature of the business environment, where international competitors are threatening the very existence of the domestic U. S. businesses;{{/U}} this competition forces U. S. businesses to take a "bare bones," "do just what the law requires and no more "approach to ethics. Actually, the U.S. legal system is for more than a" bare bones" to legal rights.64) {{U}}In fact, it could persuasively be argued that law in this nature has crept into the realm of natural law and norms formerly described by private decision makers are now decreed by legislative commands.{{/U}} It is true that ethics involves doing the "right" thing, the just thing, the morally correct thing; however, positive law is now commanding us to "do the right thing. " Given the need to keep costs under control, most U.S. businesses give a sigh of relief and say," This is enough ethics for me ;thanks," if they can simply comply with the pervasive positive law. These businesses point out that their foreign competitors do not have the extensive -- and expensive -- protective labor laws, the Clean Water Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and a host of other laws. 65) {{U}}These laws have praiseworthy goals; nonetheless, they make competing with businesses in other countries without such laws difficult, if not impossible, particularly when costs are taken into account.{{/U}}

问答题 "Intelligence" at best is an assumptive construct -- the word's meaning has never been clear. 61) {{U}}There is more agreement on the kinds of behavior referred to by the term than there is on how to interpret or classify them. {{/U}}But it is generally agreed that a person who has high intelligence is one who can grasp ideas readily, make distinctions, reason logically, and use verbal and mathematical symbols in solving problems. An intelligence test is a rough measure of a child's capacity for learning, particularly for learning the kinds of things required in school. It does not measure character, social adjustment, physical endurance, manual skills, or artistic abilities. It is not supposed to -- it was not designed for such purposes. 62) {{U}}To criticize it for such failure is roughly comparable to criticising a thermometer for not measuring wind velocity. {{/U}} The other thing we should notice is that the assessment of the intelligence of any subject is essentially a comparative affair. 63) {{U}}Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter we must be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a "valid" or "fair" comparison. {{/U}}It is here that some of the difficulties which interest us begin. Any test performed involves at least three factors: the intention to do one's best, the knowledge required for understanding what you must do, and the intellectual ability to do it. 64) {{U}}The first two must be equal for all who are being compared, if any comparison in terms of intelligence is to be made. {{/U}}In school populations in our culture these assumptions can be made fair and reasonable, and the value of intelligence testing has been proved thoroughly. Its value lies, of course, in its providing a satisfactory basis for prediction. Nobody is in the least interested in the marks a little child gets on his test; what we are interested in is whether we can conclude from his mark on the test that the child will do better or worse than other children of his age at tasks which we think require "general intelligence". 65) {{U}}On the whole, such a conclusion can be drawn with a certain degree of confidence, but only if the child can be assumed to have had the same attitude towards the test as the other with whom he is being compared, and only if he was not punished by lack of relevant information which they possessed. {{/U}}

问答题Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.Three reasons why we are unwilling to discuss insurance can be suggested. First of all, insurance is expensive. {{U}} {{U}} 1 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}A young father who purchases a fairly small life insurance policy agrees to pay a sum of $200 every year for 40 years—a total of $8000.{{/U}} Many college students pay $800 to $1000 per year for car insurance. In effect, they pay as much for the insurance as they do for the car itself. Health insurance that pays for modern medical miracles often costs American people as much as $2000 every year. Adequate insurance is expensive and it is a major item for most families. Insurance also reminds us that we live in an unsafe world. We are human beings and we must face the possibilities of illness, injury, death, and financial loss. {{U}} {{U}} 2 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}Our rational minds recognize the many unfortunate events that can occur, but in our hearts we hope that we might be spared.{{/U}} Serious injury or death is not a pleasant subject to discuss or even consider. We are afraid; we would rather talk about football or the weather or what we had for lunch. Finally, insurance is a difficult, complex subject. {{U}} {{U}} 3 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}No one understands it completely and only a few insurance professionals really feel comfortable in a discussion of automobile, life, and major medical coverages.{{/U}} We feel inadequate and try to hide our ignorance by avoiding discussions of insurance. Yet these three reasons for not discussing insurance provide three excellent reasons why we should learn more about it. Insurance is expensive. In a lifetime, many of us spend as much on insurance as we do on the purchase of a house. If we want to spend our money intelligently, we need information about the products and services available. {{U}} {{U}} 4 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}We don't depend entirely on salespeople when we buy a car, a house, or a suit of clothes; neither should we depend entirely on the agent when we buy insurance.{{/U}} We need a basic knowledge of insurance coverages if we are to be intelligent consumers. The intelligent consumer looks problems in the face. Although accident, illness, and death are not pleasant subjects, each of us knows we face these possibilities. {{U}} {{U}} 5 {{/U}} {{/U}}{{U}}It is better that we plan for these situations by finding means to deal with them than to just hope that they will somehow go away.{{/U}}

问答题Additional social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements-themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modem means of transport.
