1) Global warming is heating the planet twice as quickly as previously feared. Temperatures could soar by nearly 6℃this century-faster than at any time in the past 10,000 years, warns a UN report released recently. In the past 100 years the Earth's temperature rose by only 0.6℃. But the last decade of the 20th century was the warmest on record. Talks to cut emissions by five per cent collapsed in The Hague (海牙)several months ago. The report warns that a temperature rise if up to 5.8℃, with the warming of the oceans and melting of polar icecaps, will force sea levels to rise by as much as 3ft, making tens of millions of people in Bangladesh and Egypt homeless. Parts of lowland Britain are also at risk. Scientists believe the predicted rise, which will bring storms, floods and droughts, will be partly due to a reduction in air pollution. The report was issued at a meeting in Shanghai attended by experts from 99 countries. A pollution clean up will be partly to blame for such a temperature rise. A reduction in emissions of sulphur dioxide, which causes acid rain, has increased the impact

of greenhouse gases. These gases trap the sun's heat whereas sulphur dioxide cools the atmosphere. The UN's International Panel on Climate Change called on governments to step up efforts to curb global warming by reducing emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, which are produced by burning fossil fuels.

2) So it is always when the mind is troubled among happy things, and then one almost wishes they could share one’s troubles and become more real with it. It seemed on that Sunday that a golden age had lasted till yesterday, and that the earth had still to learn the news of its ending. And this change had come, not by the will of God, not even by the will of man, but because some few men far away were afraid to be open and generous with each other. There was a power in their hands so great that it frightened them. There was a spring that they knew they must not touch, and, like mischievous and nervous children, they had touched it at last, and now all the world was to suffer for their mischief. So the next morning one saw a reservist in his uniform saying goodbye to his wife and children at his cottage-gate and then walking up the hill that leads out of the valley with a cheerful smile still on his face. There was the first open sign of trouble, a very little one, and he made the least of it; and, after all, this valley is very far from any possible war, and its harvest and its vintage (酒，佳酿酒)of perry and cider will surely be gathered in peace.

3. Translate the Following Paragraph into English. (25%)

从我们自己这些年的经验来看，经济发展隔几年上一个台阶，是能够办得到的。我们真正干起来是一九八O年。一九八一、一九八二、一九八三这三年，改革主要在农村进行。一九八四年重点转入城市改革。经济发展比较快的是一九八四年至一九八八年。这五年，首先是农村改革带来许多新的变化，农作物大幅度增产，农民收入大幅度增加，乡镇企业异军突起。广大农民购买力增加了，不仅盖了大批新房子，而且自行车、缝纫机、收音机、手表“四大件”和一些高档消费品进入普通农民家庭。农副产品的增加，农村市场的扩大，农村剩余劳动力的转移，又强有力地推动了工业的发展。这五年，共创造工业总产值六万多亿元，平均每年增长百分之二十一点七。吃、穿、住、行、用等各方面的工业品，包括彩电、冰箱、洗衣机，都大幅度增长。钢材、水泥等生产资料也大幅度增长。农业和工业，农村和城

市，就是这样相互影响、相互促进。这是一个非常生动、非常有说服力的发展过程。可以说，这个期间我国财富有了巨额增加，整个国民经济上了一个新的台阶。
