All they had to do to gain independence was to hold what they had. The British, on the contrary, had to reconquer a vast territory in order to win. To get troops in action against the “ rebels” of 1775---83, the British government had to send them by bulky, slow-moving sailing vessels which never took less than four weeks ( and often ten) to cross the Atlantic. Moreover, those who “came three thousand miles and died, to keep the Past upon its throne” had to be armed, clothed, and even partly fed from England, which meant more shipping , more delays, more losses at sea, such expense as had never been known in English history.1.By using the terms, “War of Independence”and “other wars of liberation”, the authorindicates that heA.wishes that the British had won.B.understands the American point of view.C.is an impartial observer.D.is careful to use the correct terminology.2.The author is assuming that the readerA.has a preconceived bias in favor of the American war effort.B.has a preconceived bias in favor of the British.C.is unbiased in viewing the war.D.is trying to decide which side deserved to win.3.Which of the following sentences, except for a few emotive words, is a statement of fact?A.“ The surprising thing…”B.“ All they had…”C.“ To get troops…”D.none of the above.Passage 2The seas contain very few animals outwardly as unattractive as the oyster. Misshapen, drab, practically motionless, and devoid of expression, the oyster presents little to stir in the imagination or aesthetic sensibilities. Nevertheless, in its prosaic way, the oyster contributes more to the welfare of man than any other invertebrate of the sea, and its geologic history is long and informative. Kilometer after kilometer of oyster banks and reefs fringe the warmer borders of the continents, furnishing food and raw materials for man. The approximate annual world production of oyster meat approaches 54 million kilograms, and in several countries, especially the United States, France, the Netherlands, Japan, and Australia, oyster fishing is an important industry, Oyster shells are dredged by the thousands of tons from shallow banks and used for construction material and other purposes. A number of mollusks popularly called oysters are not really members of the genus Ostrea; among these are “ pearl oysters”, genus Melagrina. More than 1,000species of oysters, including fossil and living species are known.4.The author‟s major objective in this paragraph is to emphasize theA.unattractive appearance of the oyster.B.importance of the oyster to man.C.many different species of oysters.D.Many ways in which oyster shells are used.5.By stating that the pearl oyster is not really a member of the genus Ostrea, the author is tryingto do all of the following exceptA.relate to what the reader already knows.B.dispel a myth.C.show that everything that looks like an oyster isn‟t one.D.explain the process of pearl formation.6.The author seems to be most intrigued with the oyster‟sA.annual production of food for the world.B.practically motionless position in the sea.C.geologic history.D.contrasting bad looks and extreme importance.Passage 3Rocks which have solidified directly from molten materials are called igneous rocks. Igneous rocks are commonly referred to as primary rocks because they are the original source of material found in sedimentaries and metamorphics. Igneous rocks compose the greater part of the earth‟s crest, but they are generally covered at the surface by a relatively thin layer of sedimentary or metamorphic rocks. Igneous rocks are distinguished by the following characteristics: (1) they contain no fossils; (2) they have no regular arrangement of layers; and (3) they are nearly always made up of crystals.Sedimentary rocks are composed largely of minute fragments derived from the disintegration of existing rocks and in some instances from the remains of animals. As sediments are transported, individual fragments are sorted according to size. ①Distinct layers of such sediments as gravels, sand, and clay build up, as they are deposited by water and occasionally wind. These sediments vary ion size with the material and the power of the eroding agent. Sedimentary materials are laid down in layers called strata.When sediments harden into sedimentary rocks, the names applied to them change to indicate the change in physical state. Thus, small stones and gravel cemented together are known as conglomerates; cemented sand becomes sandstone; and hardened clay becomes shale. In addition to these, other sedimentary rocks such as limestone frequently result from the deposition of dissolved material. The ingredient parts are normally precipitated by organic substances, such as shells of clams or hard skeletons of other marine life.Both igneous and sedimentary rocks may be changed by pressure, heat, solution, or cementing action. ②When individual grains from existing rocks tend to deform and interlock, they are called metamorphic rocks. For example, granite, an igneous, may be metamorphosed into a gneiss or a schist. Limestone, a sedimentary rock, when subjected to heat and pressure may become marble, a metamorphic rock. Shale under pressure becomes slate.7.Which of the following is a metamorphic rock?A.GraniteB.ShaleC.LimestoneD.Slate8.If a rock formation is stratified, we may assume that ___A.is the result of volcanic actionB.is crystalline in structureC.was built up over a period of yearsD.is metamorphic9.If a granite quarry, we may expect to find ___A.strataB.limestoneC.gravel bedsD.no trace of fossils(2) Put the two underlined sentences in passage 3 into Chinese: (2×3%=6%)III. There are two versions for each sentence or each group of sentences . Choose the better one and write your answer at the end of this part. （9×2%=18%）1. Hardly a year now passes without Shanghai losing its traditional dominance in another field orproduct.A.上海几乎每年都要失去其在一个领域里或一种产品上的传统优势。

初赛题：A. 汉译英部分：西方人所厌恶中国人的，其实不是信仰，而是不按原则办事、遇事喜欢抄近路走后门的办事习惯。

马克斯•韦伯所推崇的基督教新教伦理与资本主义精神在这个国家几乎连影儿也见不着。

这种令西方人不快的办事原则与信仰有直接联系，人们信奉的始终是所谓的“钱能通神”，只要“塞钱”给神仙并虔诚膜拜，神仙就会帮他们“走后门”，利用其的神通庇护信徒，保其仕途亨通或者财运发达。

而这一套与神仙进行“权钱交易”的习俗，则直接来自中国古代神权政治的传统。

《左传》中记师旷说：“夫君，神之主也，而民之望也。

”这就是说，统治者的身份是介于人神之间的。

就因为这种半人半神，或者叫不人不神的身份，所以人人都得“信于神”。

因为一旦做不好，就是“小信未孚，神弗福也”，国家的灾祸就离得不远了。

你看，连一国的统治者都要畏于神的权威时不时对神仙进行贿赂，何况匹夫匹妇哉？(359字)B. 英译汉部分：History is about more than imparting life skills: it is about life. It is the skill to collate and assess evidence, to form a geography of time and a sense of our place within that map. This requires not bite-size, easily digestible lumps of historical knowledge – what Gordon Marsden has called the Yo! Sushi style of history – but a rolling tale with a beginning, middle and end, and a future.Yes, history is one damn thing after (and before) another, because events and people, periods and thoughts, all have antecedents and consequences, a series of smaller, interconnecting stories within an overarching narrative.Maths and spelling are useful, but not essential (I have coped without them, just); to live without a sense of history, however, would be a true debility. The debate over what should be on the curriculum is endless and insoluble, as it ought to be. Should there be fewer white men and 20th-century dictators taught in school? More Gandhi and less Churchill? History in school is often depressingly moralising, a set of cautionary tales. Nazis and slavery: bad. Women’s Rights and William Wilberforce: good.These are all important considerations, but secondary to persuading a new generation that history has a deeper intrinsic value than teaching morality or multicultural awareness. History is about gaining self-knowledge, and knowledge of the living, by getting to know the dead.Although the quality of history teaching in British schools is generally high, the study of history is narrowing and dwindling at the very moment when it is most needed. Instead of being corralled into a few, restricted subjects and penalised for straying from the prescribed path, pupils should be rewarded whenever they plunge into the historical undergrowth. History does not teach anything in particular; it teaches everything, and it is worth far more to a schoolchild’s spiritual health than one hour a week. (310 words)。

江西省第三届翻译大赛初赛试题及参考译文发布时间：2011-09-19 浏览次数：一、将下列短文译成汉语（50分）:Acceptance SpeechWilliam FaulknerI feel that this award was not made to me as a man, but to my work—a life’s work in the agony and sweat of the human spirit, not for glory and least of all for profit, but to create out of the materials of the human spirit something which did not exist before. So this award is only mine in trust. It will not be difficult to find a dedication for the money part of it commensurate with the purpose and significance of its origin. But I would like to do the same with the acclaim too, by using this moment as a pinnace from which I might be listened to by the young men and women already dedicated to the same anguish and travail, among whose is already that one who will some day stand here where I am standing.Our tragedy today is a general and universal physical fear so long sustained by now that we can even bear it. There are no longer problems of the spirit. There is only the question: When will I be blown up? Because of this, the young man or woman writing today has forgotten the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself which alone can make good writing because only that is worth writing about, worth the agony and the sweat.He must learn them again. He must teach himself that the basest of all things is to be afraid; and, teaching himself that, forget it, forever, leaving no room in his workshop for anything but the old verities and truths of the heart, the old universal truths lacking which any story is ephemeral and doomed—love and honor and pity and pride and compassion and sacrifice. Until he does so, he labors under a curse. He writes not of love but of lust, of defeats in which nobody loses anything of value, of victories without hope and, worst of all, without pity or compassion. His griefs grieve on no universal bones, leaving no scars. He writes not of the heart but of the glands(腺).Until he relearns these things, he will write as though he stood among and watched the end of man.I decline to accept the end of man. It is easy enough to say that man is immortal simply because he will endure. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. (422 words)我感到这份奖不是授予我个人而是授予我的工作的，是对我毕生呕心沥血所从事的讴歌人类的精神的辛勤劳动的褒奖。
