Translationexercise1Translation exercise 1:Instead of certainties, my generation has treated its children to endless debates and doubts. How will they judge us?On the dresser in Amy’s empty bedroom was a music box with Snoopy on the lid, a gift when she was four or five. She had outgrown it years before and yet could never be bear to part with it. It connected her to simpler days.I picked it up the evening after she departed for college. Her bedroom haunted me with its silence, its unaccustomed tidiness, with the odd souvenirs from a childhood that was now history. But it was the music box that caught my eye. I opened it and the plaintive song played automatically, surprising me. I remembered, tears filling my eyes, the small child holding the box before she went to sleep. When I saw that she had placed my Marine Corps ribbons from Vietnam inside, I wept like a fool.I had not seen the ribbons in ten years. When Amy was small, she wore them to school, picking out one or a few to match a jacket or a sweater. It perplexed her mother and caused her teacher to think I was a militarist at a time when virulent antimilitarism was de rigueur. But even at five she could read inside my heart. She had conceived a way to show her loyalty on an issue that was drowning me in pain.。

Translation 1 (5minutes)Directions：Complete the sentences by translating into English the Chinese given in brackets．Please write your translation on Answer Sheet 2．87．Only after the accident________(他才意识到酒后驾车的危险性)．88．The more he explains it，_________(我就越糊涂)．89．He denied 偷看了同桌的试卷)．90．_________(我原打算去拜访我叔叔)，but I ran across an old friend．91．I suppose by the time l come back from abroad all those old houses_______ (将被拆除了)．答案与解析87．答案：did he realize how dangerous it is to drive after drinking考点：本题主要考查倒装。
解析：“only+状语”位于句首时，句子要求部分倒装。
由句意和时间状语after the accident 可知，此处应该用一般过去时叙述过去的情况，因此应将助动词did提前构成倒装。
这里“酒后驾车的危险性”可以用how引导的宾语从句来表达。
88．答案：the more confused I am考点：本题主要考查比较结构。
解析：“The more…，the more…”意为“越……，就越……”。
这里要注意的是，表示“越糊涂”应该是用confused的比较级，故应该将more confused一起放到句首，而不是只将more提前。
89．答案：having peeked at his neighbor's test paper考点：本题主要考查动名词的完成式。

Translation exercisePassage 1“Suatainability” has become a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed though everyday action and choice. Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. He‟d been though the dot-com boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency. It didin‟t go well. “It was a really had move because that‟s not my passion,” says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. “I was miserable, I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said, …Just wait, you‟ll tu rn the corner, give it some time.‟”Passage 2Who would have thought that, globally, the IT industry produces about the same volumes of greenhouse gases as the world‟s airlines do-rough 2 percent of all CO2 emissions?Many everyday tasks take a surprising toll on the environment. A Google search can leak between 0.2 and 7.0 grams of CO2 depending on how many attempts are needed to get the “right” answer. To deliver results to its users quickly, then, Google has to maintain vast data centers round the world, packed with powerful computers. While producing large quantities of CO2, these computers emit a great deal of heat, so the centers need to be well air-conditioned, which uses even more energy.However, Google and other big tech providers monitor their efficiency closely and make improvements. Monitoring is the first step on the road to reduction, but there is much to be done, and not just by big companies.Writing exerciseYou have just come back from the U.S. as a member of a Sino-American cultural exchange program.

The system might usea smart identity card, or a digital credential 7 to a specific computer .and would authenticate users at a range of online services.The idea is to 8 a federation of private online identity systems. User could 9 which system to join, and only registered users whose identities have been authenticated could navigate those systems. The approach contrast s with one that would require an Internet driver‟s license10 by the government.Google and Microsoft are among companies that already have these “single sign-on” systems that make it possible for users to 11 just once but use many different services.12 .the approach would create a “walled garden” n cyberspace, with safe “neighborhoods” and bright “streetlights” to establish a sense of a13 community.Mr. Schmidt described it as a “voluntary ecosystem” in which “individuals and organizati ons can complete online transactions with 14 , trusting the identities of each other and the identities of the infrastructure 15 which the transaction runs”.Still, the administration‟s plan has 16 privacy rights activists. Some applaud the approach; others are concerned. It seems clear that such a scheme is an initiative push toward what would 17 be a compulsory Internet “drive‟s license” mentality.The plan has also been greeted with 18 by some computer security experts, who worry that the “voluntary ecosystem” envisioned by Mr. Schmidt would still leave much of the Internet 19 .They argue that all Internet users should be 20 to register and identify themselves, in the same way that drivers must be licensed to drive on public roads.1． A.swept B.skipped C.walked D.ridden 2． A.for B.within C.while D.though 3． A.careless wless C.pointless D.helpless 4． A.reason B.reminder promise D.proposal 5． rmation B.interference C.entertainment D.equivalent 6． A.by B.into C.from D.over 7． A.linked B.directed C.chained pared 8． A.dismiss B.discover C.create D.improve 9． A.recall B.suggest C.select D.realize 10． A.relcased B.issued C.distributed D.delivered 11． A.carry on B.linger on C.set in D.log in 12． A.In vain B.In effect C.In return D.In contrast 13． A.trusted B.modernized c.thriving peting 14． A.caution B.delight C.confidence D.patience 15． A.on B.after C.beyond D.across 16． A.divided B.disappointed C.protected D.united 17． A.frequestly B.incidentally C.occasionally D.eventually 18． A.skepticism B.relerance C.indifference D.enthusiasm 19． A.manageable B.defendable C.vulnerable D.invisible 20． A.invited B.appointed C.allowed D.forced。
