三、翻译题(每小题 5 分,共 20 分)
Translate the following into Chinese.
1.If you are a patient who is fed up with pills and injections, you can try
taking
up learning to alleviate your condition. Many inspirational stories have confirmed
that learning can benefit a patient’s physical and mental well-being. Once a
patient gets involved in some kind of learning, he will dwell less on his disease
and
be less depressed. He tends to be more active in life, more confident and optimistic
about his future, and thus stands a better chance of recovering.
2.Switzerland is a small country situated in the centre of Europe. In spite of
its size, it is undoubtedly one of the most affluent countries in the world. It
owns
much of its prosperity to its distinctive natural scenery. The spectacular Alps
extend
from east to west, which qualifies Switzerland as one of the best ski resorts in
the world. Every year, hundreds and thousands of tourists come from all over the
world to appreciate its beautiful landscape and bring with them abundant wealth.
3 . People used to think environment protection was secondary to economic
development. In order to develop agriculture and industry, many tropical forests
were
cut down to make room for farm lands, and supreme grasslands were damaged in search
for mines. Water and air pollution has transformed the earth dramatically. Nowhere
in the world is exempt from its impact. Faced with all these, people have finally
realized the importance of sustainable development, which means striking a balance
between economic development and environment protections.
4.Fire, along with floods and earthquakes, is considered a serious natural
disaster.
Fires not only burn houses to ashes, but also pose a big threat to the life of human
beings. Each year, there are many outbreaks of fire in the world, some are started
by arsonists while others are simply caused by a still burning cigarette end. The
best way to prevent fires from happening is to publicize fire-prevention knowledge
and education.
四、翻译题(共 5 小题,每小题 4 分,共 20 分)

场合不太合适。
五.阅读理解题(20 分)
Reading comprehension
Directions: In this part, there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete
statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions.
The bee’s knees
The bee is one of the world’s busiest creatures: no wonder that in English we
have expressions like “as busy as a bee” and “he’s the bee’s knees”(meaning
“he is a
very impressive person”) Bees not only collect honey, they make wax for their hives
(and for us to use as furniture-polish) they also pollinates the plants they visit,
and
are therefore indispensable to farmers.
Now a group of scientists at Cornell University in New York State have designed
a new way to use bees. The group, led by Joseph Kovach, reports in the current
issue of Biological Control how it has created and patented a bee “footbath” that
uses the insects for pest-control.
Strawberries,
along with many other soft fruits, suffer from grey mould,
a
troublesome disease that causes fruit to rot. Although the fungus mainly damages
the fruit, infection actually starts in the flowers. One effective treatment is
to spray these flowers with another fungus,
Trychoderma harzanium T1295-22.
This eliminates the grey mould before the berries form, but causes no harm to them.
Dr. Kovach’s system works by putting the Trychoderma into a specially designed
tray that is fixed to the entrance to a hive. The tray can be as easily moved and
replaced as the tray of a photocopier. The bee pick up the Trychoderma on their
legs as they walk out of the hive onto the tray, and deposit it on the flowers they
visit as they search for honey.
The researchers say that bee-delivery is nearly twice as effective as spraying,
and
uses a fraction of the Trychoderma, because the insects deliver it directly to the
flowers rather than wasting them on other parts of the plant. This means that
bee-delivered Trychoderma offers as much protection as conventional spraying
methods. An added bonus is that simply adding a beehive to a strawberry field
improves yields by 20—30% because of better pollination, Dr. Kovach has high hopes
of extending the use of his system to other fruit.
Bee-lovers need not worry: the actual increased pay-load carried by the bees is
very
small, and Trychoderma in no way damages their health. Honey lovers need not worry,
either: Trychoderma is found naturally in strawberry flowers. In any case, the honey
produced during strawberry bloom time is eaten by the bees themselves, the stuff
harvested for human consumption is made much later in the year.
The system does have a couple of drawbacks. Bees only fly about in good weather,
so if you crop blooms on a rainy day, too bad. And bees are unpredictable: although
they can be trained to feed on a particular crop, if they find a sweeter, more
attractive flower nearby, they may be tempted away----- and your fruit may suffer.
A good idea,
then, but clearly not the bee all and end all.
1. Why are bees indispensable to farmers?
2. What kind of treatment strawberry farmers use to eliminates the grey mould?
3. What is Dr. Kovach’s new system?
4. What benefits can farmers get from Dr. Kovach’s system?
5. What kind of problem does the new system has not been solved?
