At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually.Mrs.Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian.At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem.She became a Boston sensation after shewrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in1770.It became common practice in Boston to have"Mrs.Wheatley's Phyllis"read poetry in polite society.Mary married in1771,and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health,as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer's three children.Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren't interested.Then in1773Phyllis went with Nathaniel,who was now a businessman,to London.It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health.Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects,Religious and Moral.It was the first book published by a black American.In1775Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him.He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters.After both of her benefactors died in1777,and Mary died in1778,Phyllis was freed as a slave.She married in1778,moved away from Boston,and had three children.But after the unhappy marriage,she moved back to Boston,and died in poverty at the age of thirty.51.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.Slavery and the treatment of

black.B.She would have written poetry if she had stayed in Africa.C.She went unrecognized as a poet during her lifetime.D.She only wrote religious poetry.About fifty years ago,plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks.The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple.They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins.However,they did not require organic nitrogen compounds.These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen.Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds.These activities by roots require energy,of course:The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions.Respiration also requires oxygen.Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants.The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins,and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals.In addition,roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds.This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning.Once leaves begin photosynthesizing,they produce protein,but only mature leaves can"export"protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids.61.What is the main topic of the passage?A.The relationship between a plant's roots and its shoots.B.What can be learned by growing roots in isolation.C.How plants can be grown without roots.D.What elements are necessary for the growth of plants.62.The underlined word"themselves"in Paragraph1refers to______A.plant physiologistsB.solutionsboratory flasksD.roots63.The scientists found what the isolated roots need is______A.quite naturalB.sugar,minerals and vitaminsC.some rare vitaminsanic nitrogen compounds64.Roots have the ability to______A.make proteinsB.obtain fresh airC.produce inorganic nitrogenD.carry out activities without energy65.According to the passage,what is ATP?A.A biochemical process.B.The tip of a root.C.A chemical compound.D.A type of plant cell.66.The underlined word"intact"in Paragraph2is closest in meaning to______A.matureB.wildC.wholeD.tiny67.The use of the phrase"comes in handy"underlined in Paragraph2indicates that the process is______A.unavoidableB.predictableC.necessaryD.successful68.It can be inferred from the passage that,in the early spring,the buds of plants______A."export"protein in the form of amino acidsB.do not require waterC.have begun photosynthesizingD.obtain organic compounds from the root69.Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?A.The results of two experiments are compared.B.A generalization is made,and several examples of it are given.C.The findings of an experiment are explained.D.A hypothesis is presented,and several means of proving it are suggested.70.Where is this passage likely to be found?A.A newsletter.B.A magazine.C.A storybook.D.A novel.Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply.For example,the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound;an identical synthetic substance can be made for1%of this cost.Since the early twentieth century,success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized;these include vanillin,the aromatic ingredient in vanilla,and benzaldehyde,the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries.Other fragrances,however, have dozens,even hundreds of components.Only recently has it been possible to separate and identit3,these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy.Once the chemical identity is known,it is often possible to synthesize them.Nevertheless,some complex substances, such as the aroma of fresh coffee,have still not been duplicated satisfactorily.Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature,and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances.New products must be tested for safety,and when used in food,must be approved by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration.The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products,from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied"new car odor."71.From the passage we can learn that______A.natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dearB.the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clearC.the supply of natural flavorings and fragrances is adequate to meet the demandD.the cost of producing natural flavorings and fragrances is high72.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Natural rose fragrance is100times more expensive to produce than artificial rose fragrance.B.The most important ingredient in a rose fragrance is obtained from natural rose oil at a low cost.C.A different synthetic substance can be made for1%of the cost.D.Natural rose oil costs the same as its fragrances.73.The industry of producing hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances probably appeared in______A.2000B.1953C.1909D.181074.According to the passage,all the following are easier to synthesize EXCEPT______A.aromatic ingredient in vanillaB.vanillaC.aromatic ingredient in wild cherryD.the flavor of fresh coffee75.The underlined word"duplicated"in Paragraph2is closest in meaning to______A.make doubleB.make a copy ofC.produce something equal toD.take from76.Why does the author mention fresh coffee in Paragraph2?A.As an example of complex substances having not been duplicated satisfactorily.B.Because the coffee fragrance is hard to produce.C.To conclude the passage.D.The smell of fresh coffee is inviting.77.______a substance can be synthesized.A.Upon identifying the basic components of itB.Once chemically analyzedC.When gas chromatography is usedD.If spectroscopy is adopted78.It can be inferred from the passage that______A.vanillin is easier to synthesize than benzaldehydeB.not all synthetic flavors are harmlessC.in general,the less components there are in a fragrance,the harder it is to synthesizeD.synthesized substances must be tested for safety only if they are used in food79.Which of the following is the best title for tile passage?A.How to Synthesize FragrancesB.Synthetic Substances Are Easy to MakeC.Natural Flavorings and FragrancesD.Synthetic Flavors and Fragrances80.Which of the following is NOT true according to the last paragraph?A.Synthetic fragrances can be used to make a used car smell like a new one.B.Synthetic flavors and fragrances have added to the varieties of products.C.Lemon soap is made out of some delicious lemon.D.It is likely that a bottle of orange juice is synthesized.Some people associate migration mainly with birds.Birds do travel vast distances,but mammals also migrate.An example is the caribou,reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada.When the weather turns cold,they travel south until spring.Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air.Another migrating mammal is the Alaska fur seal.These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea.The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over3,000miles. Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America.The females and young travel as far as southern California.The males do not journey so far.They swim only to the Gulf of Alaska.In the spring,males and females all return to the islands,and there the cycle begins again.Whales are among the greatest migrators of all.The humpback and blue whales migrate thousands of miles each year from the polar seas to the tropics.Whales eat huge quantities of plankton.These are most abundant in cold polar waters.In winter,the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to their young.81.From the passage we can learn that______A.people migrate like animalsB.only birds migrateC.the female fur seals migrate only to the Gulf of AlaskaD.not all mammals migrate82.The phrase"An example"underlined in Paragraph1refers to an example of a______A.migratory mammalB.place where animals migrateC.migrating birdD.person who associates migration with birds83.All the mammals are mentioned as migrating ones EXCEPT______A.caribouB.fin whaleC.reindeerD.Alaska fur seal84.Where can you see from the air the migration of the mammals?A.In the Pribilot Islands.B.In the Bering Sea.C.In southern California.D.In northern Canada.85.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Whales breed in winter.B.Young whales are given birth in cold waters.C.Alaska fur seals give birth to the young only in one area.D.Alaska fur seals are born in warm weather.86.Together______of Alaska fur seals swim down the Pacific Coast of North America.A.mothers and the youngB.fathers and the youngC.parents and the youngD.seals and whales87.Which of the following is NOT described in the passage?A.Whales migrate to breed and give birth to their young.B.Whale-watching in Boston in summer is attracting.C.Seals breed in the north before migration.D.Reindeer feed on grass.88.Whales live on______A.tiny plants and animals in the seaB.the grassy slopes of northern CanadaC.their young in cold winterD.the abundant seafood in tropic waters89.How many kinds of migrating mammals are mentioned in the passage?A.Four.B.Three.C.Two.D.One.90.What is the best title of the passage?A.Three Types of WhalesB.Birds MigrationC.Mammals Also MigrateD.Several Kinds of MigrationElectronic mail has become an extremely important and popular means of communication.The convenience and efficiency of electronic mail are threatened by the extremely rapid growth in the volume of unsolicited commercial electronic mail.Unsolicited commercial electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half of all electronic mall traffic,up from an estimated7percent in2001,and the volume continues to rise.Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or more respects.The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept such mail and who incur costs for the storage of such mail,or for the time spent accessing,reviewing,and discarding such mail,or for both.The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mall and creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages,both commercial and noncommercial,will be lost,overlooked, or discarded amidst the larger volume of unwanted messages,thus reducing the reliability and usefulness of electronic mail to the recipient.Some commercial electronic mail contains material that many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature.The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet access services,businesses,and educational and nonprofit institutions that carry and receive such mail,as there is a finite volume of mail that such providers,businesses,and institutions can handle without further investment in infrastructure.Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully disguise the source of such mall.Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mall purposefully include misleading information in the messages'subject lines in order to induce the recipients to view the messages. While some senders of commercial electronic mail messages provide simple and reliable ways for recipients to reject(or'opt-out'of)receipt of commercial electronic mall from such senders in the future,other senders provide no such'opt-out'mechanism,or refuse to honor the requests of recipients not to receive electronic mail from such senders in the future,or both.Many senders of bulk unsolicited commercial electronic mail use computer programs to gather large numbers of electronic mail addresses on an automated basis from Internet websites or online services where users must post their addresses in order to make full use of the website or service.The problems associated with the rapid growth and abuse of unsolicited commercial electronic mall cannot be solved by the government alone.The development and adoption of techno-logical approaches and the pursuit of cooperative efforts with other countries will be necessary as well.91.According to the passage,efficiency of e-mail is threatened by______A.heavy e-mail trafficB.fraudulent e-mail messagesrge volume of messagesD.increasing amount of unwanted e-mail92.Which of the following is NOT true about unwanted e-mail?A.It costs money to receive them.B.It's free to store them.C.It takes time to access them.D.It takes time to throw them away.93.Unwanted e-mail may______A.cause companies to fail in businessB.cause wanted e-mail messages to loseC.damage the credit of a companyD.do good to a small company94."Pornographic"in Paragraph3probably means______A.decentB.instructionalC.sexualmercial95.What does unwanted e-mail messages do to the providers of the Internet services?A.Raising their cost.B.Raising the Internet speed.C.Improving their business.D.Attracting investment.96."Disguise"in Paragraph4is closest in meaning to______A.revealB.hideC.deliverD.post97.The word"induce"in Paragraph5is closest in meaning to______A.cheatB.introduceC.provideD.harm98."Opt-out"mechanism is probably______A.a machine that can be attached to your computerB.a button that you can make a choice to read or not to readC.a software that you can play a computer gameD.an e-mail that says some good words to you99.It can be inferred from Paragraph6that bulk unsolicited commercial e-mail will probably spread______A.harmful virusB.unpleasant newsC.advertisementsD.adult jokes100.The unwanted e-mail problem can be solved if______A.the government takes action。

拜考夫斯凯村位于俄罗斯东北部沿海地区，居住着457个村民，这里的海岸线已经遭到破坏，海水正以每年15－18英尺的速度向内陆的房屋和采暖用油桶逼近。
“这里本来全都是冰，我们称之为永久冻土，但是现在已经开始融化了。
”对于居住在北极圈里的四百万人来说，气候变化给他们带来了新的机遇。
但是，这也威胁着他们赖以生存的环境和家园，而对于那些祖祖辈辈生活在冰雪荒原的人们来说，这还关乎他们能否保住自己的文化。
对北部地区的进一步开发随着北冰洋的融化加快了脚步，给当地人民带来了利益，也带来了危险。

“驯鹿越来越不开心。
”31岁的养鹿人埃拉说道。
其实谈及保护环境和本土习俗，没有什么国家可以与挪威相提并论。
政府把开发石油获得的财富都用在了北极地区，萨米人的文化也因此得到了某种意义上的复兴。
但是无论有多少来自于政府的支持都无法让埃拉相信，他以鹿为生的日子将会和以往一样。
象德克萨斯州的养牛人，他对自己放养的驯鹿数量守口如瓶，但是他说，春秋两季气温上升，导致表层雪融化，天冷后结成冰，驯鹿就更难于刨食到地表的植物。

CATTI三级笔译实务真题2005年05月
三级笔译实务2005年5月全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试Section 1 English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) (60 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese. The time for this section is 120 minutes.The importance of agriculture cannot be overstated. More than 50 percent of the world's labor force is employed in agriculture. The distribution in the early 1980s ranged from 67 percent of those employed in Africa to less than 5 percent in North America. In Western Europe, the figure was about 16 percent; in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, about 32 percent; and in Asia, about 68 percent.Farm size varies widely from region to region. Recently the average for Canadian farms was about 186 ha (about 460 acres) per farm, and for U.S. farms, about 175 ha (about 432 acres). The average size of a single landholding in the Philippines, however, may be somewhat less than 3.6 ha (less than 9 acres), and in Indonesia, a little less than 1.2 ha (less than 3 acres).Size also depends on the purpose of the farm. Commercial farming, or production for cash, is usually done on large holdings. The plantations of Latin America are large, privately owned estates worked by tenant labor. Single-crop plantations produce tea, rubber, cocoa. Wheat farms are most efficient when they comprise some thousands of hectares and can be worked by teams of people and machines. Australian sheep stations and other livestock farms must be large to provide grazing for thousands of animals.Individual subsistence farms or small-family mixed-farm operations are decreasing in number in developed countries but are still numerous in the developing countries of Africa and Asia. A "back-to-the-land" movement in the U.S. reversed the decline of small farms in New England and Alaska in the decade from 1970 to 1980.The conditions that determine what will be raised in an area include climate, water supply, and terrain.Over the 10,000 years since agriculture began to be developed, peoples everywhere have discovered the food value of wild plants and animals and domesticated and bred them. The most important are cereals such as wheat, rice, barley, corn and rye.Agricultural income is also derived from non-food crops such as rubber, fiber plants, tobacco, and oilseeds used in synthetic chemical compounds. Money is also derived from raising animals for pelt.Much of the foreign exchange earned by a country may be derived from a single commodity; for example, Sri Lanka depends on tea, Denmark specializes in dairy products, Australia in wool, and New Zealand and Argentina in meat products. In the U.S., wheat has become a major foreign exchange commodity in recent years.The importance of an individual country as an exporter of agricultural products depends on many variables. Among them is the possibility that the country is too little developed industrially to produce manufactured goods in sufficient quantity or technical sophistication. Such agricultural exporters include Ghana with cocoa, and Myanmar with rice. On the other hand, an exceptionally well-developed country may produce surpluses not needed by its own population; this has beentrue of the U.S., Canada, and some of the West European countries.Section 2 Chinese-English Translation (汉译英) (40 points)Translate the following passage into English. The time for this section is 60 minutes.由于西藏地处“世界屋脊”，自然条件恶劣，也由于几百年落后的封建农奴制社会形成的各种社会历史条件的限制，西藏在全国还属于不发达地区。

She was born in Senegal; Africa; about 1753 and brought to America aboard a slave ship at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave auction in Boston in 1761 to be a personal servant of Mrs. Wheatley. The family had three other slaves; and all were treated with respect. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family; which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley's twin 15-year-old children; Mary and Nathaniel. At that time; most females; even from better families; could not read and write; but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston. Mary wanted to become a teacher; and in fact; it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis's education. Phyllis soon displayed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually; Mrs. Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian. At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation after she wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common practice in Boston to have "Mrs. Wheatley's Phyllis" read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771; and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health; as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer's three children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren't interested.Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel; who was now a businessman; to London. It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects; Religious and Moral. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors died in 1777; and Mary died in 1778; Phyllis was freed as a slave. She married in 1778; moved away from Boston; and had three children. But after the unhappy marriage; she moved back to Boston; and died in poverty at the age of thirty.What does the passage mainly discussA Slavery and the treatment of the black people in America.B The Wheatley family; including their slaves.C The life of America's first black poet.第2题The underlined word "respect" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toA considerationB disregardC punishment第3题According to the passage; how many slaves did the Wheatley's haveA One.B Two.C Three.D Four.第4题According to the passage; an unusual feature of Mary was that sheA was not much older than PhyllisB wanted to become a teacherC was comparatively well educatedD decided to take charge of Phyllis's education第5题The underlined word "eventually" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toA ultimatelyB slowlyC reluctantlyD gradually第6题Which of the following is NOT true about Phyllis in the early 1770s A She wrote her first poem when in her teens.B She married in 1771.C She became a teacher.D She was able to get her poems published.第7题The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.A publishersB poemsC childrenD black people第8题It can be inferred that Phyllis's trip to England with Nathaniel in 1773 ______.A did not improve her healthB was for business reasonsC led to books of her poems being available in AmericaD led to the publication of her poems because the English were more interested in religious and moral subjects第9题The word "extolling" is closest in meaning to ______.A welcomingB statingC bemoaningD praising第10题Which of the following conclusions about Phyllis is supported by the passageA She would have been more recognized as a poet if she had not been black.B She would have written poetry if she had stayed in Africa.C She went unrecognized as a poet during her lifetime.D She only wrote religious poetry.第11题About fifty years ago; plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks. The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However; they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by roots require energy; of course. The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP; which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also requires oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins; and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals. In addition; roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds. This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing; they produce protein; but only mature leaves can "export" protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids.What is the main topic of the passageA The relationship between a plant's roots and its shoots.B What can be learned by growing roots in isolation.C How plants can be grown without roots.D What elements are necessary for the growth of plants.第12题The underlined word "themselves" in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.A plant physiologistsB solutionsC laboratory flasksD roots第13题The scientists found what the isolated roots need is ______.A quite naturalB sugar; minerals and vitaminsC some rare vitaminsD organic nitrogen compounds第14题Roots have the ability to ______.A make proteinsB obtain fresh airC produce inorganic nitrogenD carry out activities without energy第15题According to the passage; what is ATPA A biochemical process.B The tip of a root.C A chemical compound.D A type of plant cell.第16题The underlined word "intact" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A matureB wildC wholeD tiny第17题The use of the phrase "comes in handy" underlined in Paragraph 2 indicates that the process is ______.A unavoidableB predictableC necessaryD successful第18题It can be inferred from the passage that; in the early spring; the buds of plants ______.A "export" protein in the form of amino acidsB do not require waterC have begun photosynthesizingD obtain organic compounds from the root第19题Which of the following best describes the organization of the passageA The results of two experiments are compared.B A generalization is made; and several examples of it are given.C The findings of an experiment are explained.D A hypothesis is presented; and several means of proving it are suggested.第20题Where is this passage likely to be foundA A newsletter.B A magazine.C A storybook.D A novel.第21题Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply. For example; the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost. Since the early twentieth century; success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized; these include vanillin; the aromatic ingredient in vanilla; and benzaldehyde; the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances; however; have dozens; even hundreds of components. Only recently has it been possible to separate and identify these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known; it is often possible to synthesize them. Nevertheless; some complex substances; such as the aroma of fresh coffee; have still not been duplicated satisfactorily. Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature; and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances. New products must be tested for safety; and when used in food; must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products; from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied "new car odor."From the passage we can learn that ______.A natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dearB the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clearC the supply of natural flavorings and fragrances is adequate to meet the demandD the cost of producing natural flavorings and fragrances is high第22题Which of the following is true according to the passageA Natural rose fragrance is 100 times more expensive to produce than artificial rose fragrance.B The most important ingredient in a rose fragrance is obtained from natural rose oil at a low cost.C A different synthetic substance can be made for 1% of the cost.D Natural rose oil costs the same as its fragrances.第23题The industry of producing hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances probably appeared in ______.A 2000B 1953C 1909D 1810第24题According to the passage; all the following are easier to synthesize EXCEPT ______.A aromatic ingredient in vanillaB vanillaC aromatic ingredient in wild cherryD the flavor of fresh coffee第25题The underlined word "duplicated" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A make doubleB make a copy ofC produce something equal toD take from第26题Why does the author mention fresh coffee in Paragraph 2A As an example of complex substances having not been duplicated satisfactorily.B Because the coffee fragrance is hard to produce.C To conclude the passage.D The smell of fresh coffee is inviting.第27题______; a substance can be synthesized.A Upon identifying the basic components of itB Once chemically analyzedC When gas chromatography is usedD If spectroscopy is adopted第28题It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A vanillin is easier to synthesize than benzaldehydeB not all synthetic flavors are harmlessC in general; the less components there are in a fragrance; the harder it is to synthesizeD synthesized substances must be tested for safety only if they are used in food第29题Which of the following is the best title for the passageA How to Synthesize FragrancesB Synthetic Substances Are Easy to MakeC Natural Flavorings and FragrancesD Synthetic Flavors and Fragrances第30题Which of the following is NOT true according to the last paragraphA Synthetic fragrances can be used to make a used car smell like a new one.B Synthetic flavors and fragrances have added to the varieties of products.C Lemon soap is made out of some delicious lemon.D It is likely that a bottle of orange juice is synthesized.第31题Some people associate migration mainly with birds. Birds do travel vast distances; but mammals also migrate. An example is the caribou; reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada. When the weather turns cold; they travel south until spring. Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air. Another migrating mammal is the Alaska fur seal. These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea. The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over 3;000 miles. Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America. The females and young travel as far as southern California. The males do not journey so far. They swim only to the Gulf of Alaska. In the spring; males and females all return to the islands; and there the cycle begins again. Whales are among the greatest migrators of all. The humpback and blue whales migrate thousands of miles each year from the polar seas to the tropics. Whales eat huge quantities of plankton. These are most abundant in cold polar waters. In winter; the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to theiryoung.From the passage we can learn that ______.A people migrate like animalsB only birds migrateC the female fur seals migrate only to the Gulf of AlaskaD not all mammals migrate第32题The phrase "An example" underlined in Paragraph 1 refers to an example of a ______.A migratory mammalB place where animals migrateC migrating birdD person who associates migration with birds第33题All the mammals are mentioned as migrating ones EXCEPT ______.A caribouB fin whaleC reindeerD Alaska fur seal第34题Where can you see from the air the migration of the mammalsA In the Pribilot Islands.B In the Bering Sea.C In southern California.D In northern Canada.第35题Which of the following is NOT trueA Whales breed in winter.B Young whales are given birth in cold waters.C Alaska fur seals give birth to the young only in one area.D Alaska fur seals are born in warm weather.第36题Together ______ of Alaska fur seals swim down the Pacific Coast of North America.A mothers and the youngB fathers and the youngC parents and the youngD seals and whales第37题Which of the following is NOT described in the passageA Whales migrate to breed and give birth to their young.B Whale-watching in Boston in summer is attracting.C Seals breed in the north before migration.D Reindeer feed on grass.第38题Whales live on ______.A tiny plants and animals in the seaB the grassy slopes of northern CanadaC their young in cold winterD the abundant seafood in tropic waters第39题How many kinds of migrating mammals are mentioned in the passageA Four.B Three.C Two.D One.第40题What is the best title of the passageA Three Types of WhalesB Birds MigrationC Mammals Also MigrateD Several Kinds of Migration第41题Electronic mail has become an extremely important and popular means of communication.The convenience and efficiency of electronic mail are threatened by the extremely rapid growth in the volume of unsolicited commercial electronic mail. Unsolicited commercial electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half of all electronic mail traffic; up from an estimated 7 percent in 2001; and the volume continues to rise. Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or more respects.The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept such mail and who incur costs for the storage of such mail; or for the time spent accessing; reviewing; and discarding such mail; or for both. The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mail and creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages; both commercial and noncommercial; will be lost; overlooked; or discarded amidst the larger volume of unwanted messages; thus reducing the reliability and usefulness of electronic mail to the recipient. Some commercial electronic mailcontains material that many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature.The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet access services; businesses; and educational and nonprofit institutions that carry and receive such mail; as there is a finite volume of mail that such providers; businesses; and institutions can handle without further investment in infrastructure. Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully disguise the source of such mail.Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully include misleading information in the messages' subject lines in order to induce the recipients to view the messages. While some senders of commercial electronic mail messages provide simple and reliable ways for recipients to reject or 'opt-out' o0 receipt of commercial electronic mail from such senders in the future; other senders provide no such 'opt-out' mechanism; or refuse to honor the requests of recipients not to receive electronic mail from such senders in the future; or both.Many senders of bulk unsolicited commercial electronic mail use computer programs to gather large numbers of electronic mail addresses on an automated basis from Internet websites or online services where users must post their addresses in order to make full use of the website or service. The problems associated with the rapid growth and abuse of unsolicited commercial electronic mail cannot be solved by the government alone. The development and adoption of technological approaches and the pursuit of cooperative efforts with other countries will be necessary as well.According to the passage; efficiency of e-mail is threatened by ______.A heavy e-mail trafficB fraudulent e-mail messagesC large volume of messagesD increasing amount of unwanted e-mail第42题Which of the following is NOT true about unwanted e-mailA It costs money to receive them.B It's free to store them.C It takes time to access them.D It takes time to throw them away.第43题Unwanted e-mail may ______.A cause companies to fail in businessB cause wanted e-mail messages to loseC damage the credit of a companyD do good to a small company第44题"Pornographic" in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.A decentB instructionalC sexualD commercial第45题What does unwanted e-mail messages do to the providers of the Internet servicesA Raising their cost.B Raising the Internet speed.C Improving their business.D Attracting investment.第46题"Disguise" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.A revealB hide。

At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually.Mrs.Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian.At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem.She became a Boston sensation after shewrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in1770.It became common practice in Boston to have"Mrs.Wheatley's Phyllis"read poetry in polite society.Mary married in1771,and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health,as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer's three children.Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren't interested.Then in1773Phyllis went with Nathaniel,who was now a businessman,to London.It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health.Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects,Religious and Moral.It was the first book published by a black American.In1775Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him.He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters.After both of her benefactors died in1777,and Mary died in1778,Phyllis was freed as a slave.She married in1778,moved away from Boston,and had three children.But after the unhappy marriage,she moved back to Boston,and died in poverty at the age of thirty.51.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.Slavery and the treatment of

black.B.She would have written poetry if she had stayed in Africa.C.She went unrecognized as a poet during her lifetime.D.She only wrote religious poetry.About fifty years ago,plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks.The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple.They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins.However,they did not require organic nitrogen compounds.These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen.Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds.These activities by roots require energy,of course:The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions.Respiration also requires oxygen.Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants.The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins,and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals.In addition,roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds.This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning.Once leaves begin photosynthesizing,they produce protein,but only mature leaves can"export"protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids.61.What is the main topic of the passage?A.The relationship between a plant's roots and its shoots.B.What can be learned by growing roots in isolation.C.How plants can be grown without roots.D.What elements are necessary for the growth of plants.62.The underlined word"themselves"in Paragraph1refers to______A.plant physiologistsB.solutionsboratory flasksD.roots63.The scientists found what the isolated roots need is______A.quite naturalB.sugar,minerals and vitaminsC.some rare vitaminsanic nitrogen compounds64.Roots have the ability to______A.make proteinsB.obtain fresh airC.produce inorganic nitrogenD.carry out activities without energy65.According to the passage,what is ATP?A.A biochemical process.B.The tip of a root.C.A chemical compound.D.A type of plant cell.66.The underlined word"intact"in Paragraph2is closest in meaning to______A.matureB.wildC.wholeD.tiny67.The use of the phrase"comes in handy"underlined in Paragraph2indicates that the process is______A.unavoidableB.predictableC.necessaryD.successful68.It can be inferred from the passage that,in the early spring,the buds of plants______A."export"protein in the form of amino acidsB.do not require waterC.have begun photosynthesizingD.obtain organic compounds from the root69.Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?A.The results of two experiments are compared.B.A generalization is made,and several examples of it are given.C.The findings of an experiment are explained.D.A hypothesis is presented,and several means of proving it are suggested.70.Where is this passage likely to be found?A.A newsletter.B.A magazine.C.A storybook.D.A novel.Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply.For example,the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound;an identical synthetic substance can be made for1%of this cost.Since the early twentieth century,success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized;these include vanillin,the aromatic ingredient in vanilla,and benzaldehyde,the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries.Other fragrances,however, have dozens,even hundreds of components.Only recently has it been possible to separate and identit3,these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy.Once the chemical identity is known,it is often possible to synthesize them.Nevertheless,some complex substances, such as the aroma of fresh coffee,have still not been duplicated satisfactorily.Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature,and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances.New products must be tested for safety,and when used in food,must be approved by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration.The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products,from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied"new car odor."71.From the passage we can learn that______A.natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dearB.the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clearC.the supply of natural flavorings and fragrances is adequate to meet the demandD.the cost of producing natural flavorings and fragrances is high72.Which of the following is true according to the passage?A.Natural rose fragrance is100times more expensive to produce than artificial rose fragrance.B.The most important ingredient in a rose fragrance is obtained from natural rose oil at a low cost.C.A different synthetic substance can be made for1%of the cost.D.Natural rose oil costs the same as its fragrances.73.The industry of producing hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances probably appeared in______A.2000B.1953C.1909D.181074.According to the passage,all the following are easier to synthesize EXCEPT______A.aromatic ingredient in vanillaB.vanillaC.aromatic ingredient in wild cherryD.the flavor of fresh coffee75.The underlined word"duplicated"in Paragraph2is closest in meaning to______A.make doubleB.make a copy ofC.produce something equal toD.take from76.Why does the author mention fresh coffee in Paragraph2?A.As an example of complex substances having not been duplicated satisfactorily.B.Because the coffee fragrance is hard to produce.C.To conclude the passage.D.The smell of fresh coffee is inviting.77.______a substance can be synthesized.A.Upon identifying the basic components of itB.Once chemically analyzedC.When gas chromatography is usedD.If spectroscopy is adopted78.It can be inferred from the passage that______A.vanillin is easier to synthesize than benzaldehydeB.not all synthetic flavors are harmlessC.in general,the less components there are in a fragrance,the harder it is to synthesizeD.synthesized substances must be tested for safety only if they are used in food79.Which of the following is the best title for tile passage?A.How to Synthesize FragrancesB.Synthetic Substances Are Easy to MakeC.Natural Flavorings and FragrancesD.Synthetic Flavors and Fragrances80.Which of the following is NOT true according to the last paragraph?A.Synthetic fragrances can be used to make a used car smell like a new one.B.Synthetic flavors and fragrances have added to the varieties of products.C.Lemon soap is made out of some delicious lemon.D.It is likely that a bottle of orange juice is synthesized.Some people associate migration mainly with birds.Birds do travel vast distances,but mammals also migrate.An example is the caribou,reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada.When the weather turns cold,they travel south until spring.Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air.Another migrating mammal is the Alaska fur seal.These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea.The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over3,000miles. Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America.The females and young travel as far as southern California.The males do not journey so far.They swim only to the Gulf of Alaska.In the spring,males and females all return to the islands,and there the cycle begins again.Whales are among the greatest migrators of all.The humpback and blue whales migrate thousands of miles each year from the polar seas to the tropics.Whales eat huge quantities of plankton.These are most abundant in cold polar waters.In winter,the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to their young.81.From the passage we can learn that______A.people migrate like animalsB.only birds migrateC.the female fur seals migrate only to the Gulf of AlaskaD.not all mammals migrate82.The phrase"An example"underlined in Paragraph1refers to an example of a______A.migratory mammalB.place where animals migrateC.migrating birdD.person who associates migration with birds83.All the mammals are mentioned as migrating ones EXCEPT______A.caribouB.fin whaleC.reindeerD.Alaska fur seal84.Where can you see from the air the migration of the mammals?A.In the Pribilot Islands.B.In the Bering Sea.C.In southern California.D.In northern Canada.85.Which of the following is NOT true?A.Whales breed in winter.B.Young whales are given birth in cold waters.C.Alaska fur seals give birth to the young only in one area.D.Alaska fur seals are born in warm weather.86.Together______of Alaska fur seals swim down the Pacific Coast of North America.A.mothers and the youngB.fathers and the youngC.parents and the youngD.seals and whales87.Which of the following is NOT described in the passage?A.Whales migrate to breed and give birth to their young.B.Whale-watching in Boston in summer is attracting.C.Seals breed in the north before migration.D.Reindeer feed on grass.88.Whales live on______A.tiny plants and animals in the seaB.the grassy slopes of northern CanadaC.their young in cold winterD.the abundant seafood in tropic waters89.How many kinds of migrating mammals are mentioned in the passage?A.Four.B.Three.C.Two.D.One.90.What is the best title of the passage?A.Three Types of WhalesB.Birds MigrationC.Mammals Also MigrateD.Several Kinds of MigrationElectronic mail has become an extremely important and popular means of communication.The convenience and efficiency of electronic mail are threatened by the extremely rapid growth in the volume of unsolicited commercial electronic mail.Unsolicited commercial electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half of all electronic mall traffic,up from an estimated7percent in2001,and the volume continues to rise.Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or more respects.The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept such mail and who incur costs for the storage of such mail,or for the time spent accessing,reviewing,and discarding such mail,or for both.The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages also decreases the convenience of electronic mall and creates a risk that wanted electronic mail messages,both commercial and noncommercial,will be lost,overlooked, or discarded amidst the larger volume of unwanted messages,thus reducing the reliability and usefulness of electronic mail to the recipient.Some commercial electronic mail contains material that many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature.The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet access services,businesses,and educational and nonprofit institutions that carry and receive such mail,as there is a finite volume of mail that such providers,businesses,and institutions can handle without further investment in infrastructure.Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mail purposefully disguise the source of such mall.Many senders of unsolicited commercial electronic mall purposefully include misleading information in the messages'subject lines in order to induce the recipients to view the messages. While some senders of commercial electronic mail messages provide simple and reliable ways for recipients to reject(or'opt-out'of)receipt of commercial electronic mall from such senders in the future,other senders provide no such'opt-out'mechanism,or refuse to honor the requests of recipients not to receive electronic mail from such senders in the future,or both.Many senders of bulk unsolicited commercial electronic mail use computer programs to gather large numbers of electronic mail addresses on an automated basis from Internet websites or online services where users must post their addresses in order to make full use of the website or service.The problems associated with the rapid growth and abuse of unsolicited commercial electronic mall cannot be solved by the government alone.The development and adoption of techno-logical approaches and the pursuit of cooperative efforts with other countries will be necessary as well.91.According to the passage,efficiency of e-mail is threatened by______A.heavy e-mail trafficB.fraudulent e-mail messagesrge volume of messagesD.increasing amount of unwanted e-mail92.Which of the following is NOT true about unwanted e-mail?A.It costs money to receive them.B.It's free to store them.C.It takes time to access them.D.It takes time to throw them away.93.Unwanted e-mail may______A.cause companies to fail in businessB.cause wanted e-mail messages to loseC.damage the credit of a companyD.do good to a small company94."Pornographic"in Paragraph3probably means______A.decentB.instructionalC.sexualmercial95.What does unwanted e-mail messages do to the providers of the Internet services?A.Raising their cost.B.Raising the Internet speed.C.Improving their business.D.Attracting investment.96."Disguise"in Paragraph4is closest in meaning to______A.revealB.hideC.deliverD.post97.The word"induce"in Paragraph5is closest in meaning to______A.cheatB.introduceC.provideD.harm98."Opt-out"mechanism is probably______A.a machine that can be attached to your computerB.a button that you can make a choice to read or not to readC.a software that you can play a computer gameD.an e-mail that says some good words to you99.It can be inferred from Paragraph6that bulk unsolicited commercial e-mail will probably spread______A.harmful virusB.unpleasant newsC.advertisementsD.adult jokes100.The unwanted e-mail problem can be solved if______A.the government takes action。

5月英语翻译（CATTI）三级真题：笔译翻译Stonehenge, England —The prehistoric monument of Stonehenge stands tall in the British countryside as one of the last remnants of the Neolithic Age. Recently it has also become the latest symbol of another era: the new fiscal austerity.Renovations — including a plan to replace the site’s run-down visitors center with one almost five times bigger and to close a busy road that runs along the 5,000-year-old monument —had to be mothballed in June. The British government had suddenly withdrawn ￡10 million, or $16 million, in financing for the project as part of a budget squeeze.Stonehenge, once a temple with giant stone slabs aligned in a circle to mark the passage of the sun, is among the most prominent victims of the government’s spending cuts. The decision was heavily criticized by local lawmakers, especially because Stonehenge, a UnescoWorld Heritage site, was part of London’s successful bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games.The shabby visitors center there now is already too small for the 950,000 people who visit Stonehenge each year, let alone the additional onslaught of tourists expected for the Games, the lawmakers say.Stonehenge is the busiest tourist attraction in Britain’s southwest, topping even Windsor Castle. But no major improvements have been made to the facilities there since they were built 40 years ago.For now, portable toilets lead from a crammed parking lot, via a makeshift souvenir shop in a tent, to a ticket office opposite a small kiosk that sells coffee and snacks.The overhaul was scheduled for next spring. Plans by the architectural firm Denton Corker Marshall would keep the stone monument itself unchanged. But the currentticket office and shop would be demolished and a new visitors center would be built on the other side of the monument, about two and a half kilometers, or 1.5 miles, from the stones.The center would include a shop almost five times the size of the current one, a proper restaurant, three times as many parking spots and an exhibition space to provide more information about Stonehenge’s history.A transit system would shuttle visitors between the center and the stones while footpaths would encourage tourists to walk to the monument and explore the surrounding burial hills. The closed road would be grassed over to improve the surrounding landscape.Last year, the ￡27 million project won the backing of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown. After more than 25 years of bickering with local communities about how and where to build the new center, planning permission was granted in January. Construction was supposed to start next year and be completed in time for the Olympics — but the economic downturn has changed those plans.The new prime minister, David Cameron, has reversed many of his predecessor’s promises as part of a program to cut more than ￡99 billion annually over the next five years to help close a gaping budget deficit. The financing for Stonehenge fell in the first round of cuts, worth about ￡6.2 billion, from the budget for the current year, along with support for a hospital and the British Film Institute.English Heritage, a partly government-financed organization that owns Stonehenge and more than 400 other historic sites in the country, is now aggressively looking for private donations. But the economic downturn has made the endeavor more difficult.Hunched over architectural renderings of the new center, Loraine Knowles, Stonehenge’s project director, said she was disappointed that the government hadwithdrawn money while continuing to support museums in London, like the Tate and the British Museum. But Ms. Knowles said she was hopeful that English Heritage could raise the money elsewhere. Stonehenge, she said, could then also become “a shining example of how philanthropy could w ork.”。
