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。

2013年5月翻译资格考试三级英语笔译真题及答案试题部分：Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (英译汉) Translate the following passage into Chinese.It didn’t take long for Manuel García Murillo, a bricklayer who took over as mayor here last June, to realize that his town was in trouble. It was 800,000 euros, a little more than $1 million, in the red. There was no cash on hand to pay for anything — and there was work that needed to be done.But then an amazing thing happened, he said. Just as the health department was about to c lose down the day care center because it didn’t have a proper kitchen, Bernardo Benítez, a construction worker, offered to put up the walls and the tiles free. Then, Maria José Carmona, an adult education teacher, stepped in to clean the place up.And somehow, the volunteers just kept coming. Every Sunday now, the residents of this town in southwest Spain — young and old — do what needs to be done, whether it is cleaning the streets, raking the leaves, unclogging culverts or planting trees in the park.“I t was an initiative from them,” said Mr. García. “Day to day we talked to people and we told them there was no money. Of course, they could see it. The grass in between the sidewalks was up to my thigh. “Higuera de la Serena is in many ways a microcosm o f Spain’s troubles. Just as Spain’s national and regional governments are struggling with the collapse of the construction industry, overspending on huge capital projects and a pileup of unpaid bills, the same problems afflict many of its small towns.But what has brought Higuera de la Serena a measure of fame in Spain is that the residents have stepped up where their government has failed. Mr. García says his phone rings regularly from other town officials who want to know how to do the same thing. He is serving without pay, as are the town’s two other elected officials. They are also forgoing the cars and phones that usually come with the job.“We lived beyond our means,” Mr. García said. “We invested in public works that weren’t sensible. We are in technical bankruptcy.” Even some money from the European Union that was supposed to be used for routine operating expenses and last until 2013 has already been spent, he said.Higuera de la Serena, a cluster of about 900 houses surrounded by farmland, andtraditionally dependent on pig farming and olives, got swept up in the giddy days of the construction boom. It built a cultural center and invested in a small nursing home. But the projects were plagued by delays and cost overruns.The cultural center still has no bathrooms. The nursing home, a whitewashed building sits on the edge of town, still unopened. Together, they account for some $470,000 of debt owed to the bank. But the rest of the debt is mostly the unpaid bills of a town that was not keeping up with its expenses. It owes for medical supplies, for diesel fuel, for road repair, for electrical work, for musicians who played during holidays.Higuera de la Serena is not completely without workers. It still has a half-time librarian, two half-time street cleaners, someone part-time for the sports complex, a secretary and an administrator, all of whom are paid through various financing streams apart from the town. But the town once had a work force twice the size.

2013年5月CATTI（全国翻译考试）考试英译汉参考答案For more than a decade，archaeologists and historians have been studying the contents of a ninth-century Arab dhow that was discovered in 1998 off Indonesia’s Belitung Island. The sea-cucumber divers who found the wreck had no idea it eventually would be considered one of the most important maritime discoveries of the late 20th century.1998年在印尼勿里洞岛附近发现了一艘公元九世纪的阿拉伯独桅帆船残骸。

超过十年的时间里，考古学家和历史学家一直在研究这艘沉船的装载物品。

发现此船残骸的海水潜水员没想到的是，这次发现被认为是20世纪后期最重要的海上发现之一。

The dhow was carrying a rich cargo —60，000 ceramic pieces and an array of gold and silver works —and its discovery has confirmed how significant trade was along a maritime silk road between Tang Dynasty China and Abbasid Iraq. It also has revealed how China was mass-producingtrade goods even then and customizing them to suit the tastes of clients in West Asia.这艘独桅帆装载了丰富的货物，包括60,000件陶瓷器和一系列黄金和白银制品，这证实了沿着中国唐朝到伊拉克阿巴斯王朝之间的海上丝绸之路的贸易是多么重要，也揭示了中国是如何大规模生产贸易货物，甚至根据客户需求定制货物，以适应西亚的客户。

CATTI三级笔译实务Section1: English-Chinese translationThe 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 holding. 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 England 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 county 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 as been true of the U.S., Canada, and some of the West European countries.Section2: Chinese-English translation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内的限制，西藏在全国还属于不发达地区。

2015年5月CATTI英语三级笔译实务试题英译汉：For generations,coal has been the lifeblood of this mineral-rich stretch of eastern Utah.Mining families proudly recall all the years they toiled underground.Supply companies line the town streets.Above the road that winds toward the mines,a soot-smudged miner peers out from a billboard with the slogan“Coal=Jobs.”But recently,fear has settled in.The state’s oldest coal-fired power plant,tucked among the canyons near town,is set to close,a result of new,stricter federal pollution regulations.As energy companies tack away from coal,toward cleaner,cheaper natural gas, people here have grown increasingly afraid that their community may soon slip away. Dozens of workers at the facility here,the Carbon Power Plant,have learned that they must retire early or seek other jobs.Local trucking and equipment outfits are preparing to take business elsewhere.“There are a lot of people worried,”said Kyle Davis,who has been employed at the plant since he was18.But Rocky Mountain Power,the utility that operates the plant,has determined that it would be too expensive to retrofit the aging plant to meet new federal standards on mercury emissions.The plant is scheduled to be shut by April2015.For the last several years,coal plants have been shutting down across the country, driven by tougher environmental regulations,flattening electricity demand and a move by utilities toward natural gas.The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that the stricter emissions regulations for the plants will result in billions of dollars in related health savings,and will have a sweeping impact on air quality.“Coal plants are the single largest source of dangerous carbon pollution in the United States,and we have ready alternatives like wind and solar to replace them,”said Bruce Nilles,director of the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign,which wants to shut all of the nation’s coal plants.For many here,coal jobs are all they know.The industry united the area during hard times,too,especially during the dark days after nine men died in a2007mining accident some35miles down the highway.Virtually everyone around Price knew the men,six of whom remain entombed in the mountainside.But there is quiet acknowledgment that Carbon County will have to change—if not now,soon.Pete Palacios,who worked in the mines for43years,has seen coal roar and fade here. Now86,his eyes grew cloudy as he recalled his first mining job.He was12,and earned$1a day.“I’m retired,so I’ll be fine.But these young guys?”Pete Palacios said,his voice trailing off.汉译英：天柱县位于贵州省东部，是川渝黔通往两广、江浙的重要门户。

The sea-cucumber divers who found the wreck had no idea it eventually would be considered one of the most important maritime discoveries of the late 20th century.The dhow was carrying a rich cargo — 60,000 ceramic pieces and an array of gold and silver works — and its discovery has confirmed how significant trade was along a maritime silk road between Tang Dynasty China and Abbasid Iraq. It also has revealed how China was mass-producing trade goods even then and customizing them to suit the tastes of clients in West Asia.“Shipwrecked: Tang Treasures and Monsoon Winds,” at the new, lotus-shaped ArtScience Museum designed by Moshe Safdie, presents items from the Belitung wreck. Curated by the Asian Civilisations Museum here and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Washington, theshow is expected to travel to museums around the world over the next five to six years.“This exhibition t ells us a story about an extraordinary moment in globalization,” said Julian Raby, director of the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery. “It brings to life the tale of Sinbad sailing to China to make his fortune. It shows us that the world in the ninth century was not as fragmented as we assumed. There were two great export powers: the Tang in the east and the Abbasid based in Baghdad.”Until the Belitung find, historians had thought that Tang China traded primarily through the land routes of Central Asia, mainly on the Silk Road. Ancient records told of Persian fleets sailing the Southeast Asian seas but no wrecks had been found, until the Belitung dhow. Its cargo confirmed that a huge volume of trade was taking place along a maritime route, said Heidi Tan, a curator at the Asian Civilisations Museum and a curator of the exhibition.Mr. Raby said: “The size of the find gives us a sense of two things: a sense of China as a country already producing things on an industrialized scale and also a China that is no longer producing ceramics to bury.” He was referring to the production of burial pottery like camels and horses, which was banned in the late eighth century. “Instead, kilns looked for other markets and they started producing t ableware and they built an export market.”2. 英译汉第二篇：同样节选自The New York Times，原文标题为：E.U. Signals Big Shift on Genetically Modified Crops原文地址：/2010/05/10/business/energy-environmen t/10green.htmlMadeira is more than 500 kilometers from the African coast and is officially one of th e “outermost regions” of the European Union. Despite that far-flung status, Madeira catapulted into the center of the Union’s agricultural and environmental affairs last year when Portugal asked the European Commission for permission to impose an unprecedented ban on growing biotech crops there.Last week, the commission quietly let the deadline pass for opposing Portugal’s request, allowing Madeira, which is one of Portugal’s autonomous regions, to become the first E.U. territory to get formal permission from Brussels to remain entirely free of genetically modified organisms. Madeira now will probably go ahead and implement the ban, a spokeswoman for the Portuguese government said Friday.Individual European countries and regions have banned certain genetically modified crops before. Many consumers and farmers in countries like Austria, France and Italy regard the crops as potentially dangerous and likely to contaminate organically produced food. But the case of Madeira represents a significant landmark, because it is the first time the commission, which runs the day-to-day affairs of the European Union, has permitted a country to impose such a sweeping and definitive rejection of the technology.The Madeirans’ main concerns focused on preserving thearchipel ago’s biodiversity and its forest of subtropical laurel trees. Such forests, known as laurisilva, were once widespread on theEuropean mainland but were wiped out thousands of years ago during an earlier period of climate change. That has left Madeira with “much the largest extent of laurel forest surviving in the world, with a unique suite of plants and animals,” according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, which named the Madeiran laurisilva a World Heritage Site in 1999. The forest also is a growing attraction for tourists, who make up a significant portion of Madeira’s earnings.In seeking to ban biotechnology on Madeira, the Portuguese government told the commission that it would be impossible to separate crops containing genetically engineered material from other plant life. The “risk to nature presented by the deliberate release of GMOs is so dangerous and poses such a threat to the environmental and ecological health of Madeira, that it is not worthwhile risking their use, either directly in the agricultural sector or even on an experimental basis,” the Portuguese told the commission.3. 汉译英第一篇：稀土是不可再生的重要自然资源，在经济社会发展中的用途日益广泛，如光学、电子信息、航空航天、核工业等尖端科技领域。

2005年11月全国翻译专业资格（水平）考试三级笔译实务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 Gap between Rich and Poor Widened in U.S. Capital Washington D.C. ranks first among the 40 cities with the widest gap between the poor and the rich, according to a recent report released by the D.C. Fiscal Policy Institute on July 22nd. The top 20 percent of households in D.C. have an average yearly income of $186,830, 31 times that of the bottom 20 percent, which earns only $6,126 per year. The income gap is also big in Atlanta and Miami, but the difference is not as pronounced.The report also indicates that the widening gap occurred mainly during the 1990s. Over the last decade, the average income of the top 20 percent of households has grown 36 percent, while the average income of the bottom 20 percent has only risen 3 percent."I believe the concentration of the middle- to high-income families in the D.C. area will continue, therefore, the income gap between rich and poor will be hard to bridge," David Garrison told the Washington Observer. Garrison is a senior researcher with the Brookings Institution, specializing in the study of the social and economic policies in the greater Washington D.C. area.The report attributed the persistent income gap in Washington to the area's special job opportunities, which attract high-income households. Especially since the federal government is based in Washington D.C., Government agencies and other government related businesses such as lobbying firms and government contractors constantly offer high-paying jobs, which contribute to the trend of increasing high-income households in the D.C. area. For example, a single young professional working in a law firm in D.C. can earn as much as $100,000 in his or her first year out of law school.Section 2 Chinese-English Translation (汉译英) (40 points)Translate the following passage into English.

She was born in Senegal, Africa, about 1753 and brought to America abroad 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 twin15- 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 displayedher 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 teacherand 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 in1778, 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.51. What does the passage mainly discuss?A.

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 require 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.comesThis compounds. nitrogen organic with shoots the provide can roots addition, Inin handy for the growth of buds in the early spring whenleaves are not yet functioning.

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 reproducingthese 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”.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 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.73. The industry of producing hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances probably appeared in___.A. 2000B. 1953C.1909D.181074.

Why does the author mention fresh coffee in Paragraph 2?A. As an example of complex substances having not been duplicated satisfactorily.B. Because the coffee fragrance is hard to produce.。

英语三级《笔译实务》试卷（实务科目）2016.11Section 1: English-Chinese Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into Chinese.Harper Lee was an ordinary woman as stunned as anybody by the extraordinary success of “To Kill a Mockingbird.”“It was like being hit over the head and knocked cold,” Lee — who died Friday at age 89，said during a 1964 interview. “I didn’t expect the book to sell in the first place. I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of reviewers but at the same time I sort of hoped that maybe someone would like it enough to give me encouragement.”“To Kill a Mockingbird” may not be the Great American Novel. But it’s likely the most universally known work of fiction by an American author over the past 70 years, Lee was cited for her subtle, graceful style and gift for explaining the world through a child’s eye, but the secret to the novel’s ongoing appeal was also in how many books this single book contained.“To Kill a Mockingbird” was a coming-of-age story, a courtroom thriller, a Southern novel, a period piece, a drama about class, and — of course —a drama of race.” All I want to be is the Jane Austen of South Alabama,” she once observed. The story of Lee is essentially the story of her book, and how she responded to it. She was a warm, vibrant and witty woman who played golf, fished, ate at McDonald’s, fed ducks by tossing seed corn out of a Cool Whip tub, read voraciously, and got about to plays and concerts. She just didn’t want to talk about it before an audience.“To Kill a Mockingbird” was an instant and ongoing hit, published in 1960, as the civil rights movement was accelerating. It’s the story of a girl nicknamed Scout growing up in a Depression-era Southern town. A black man has been wrongly accused of raping a white woman, and Scout’s father, the resolute lawyer, defends him despite threats and the scorn of many. Praised by The New Yorker as “skilled, unpretentious, and totally ingenious,” the book won the Pulitzer Prize and was made into a memorable movie in 1962.“Mockingbird” inspired a generation of young lawyers and social workers, was assigned in high schools all over the country and was a popular choice for citywide, or nationwide, reading programs, although it was also occasionally removed from shelves for its racial content and references to rape. By 2015, sales topped 40 million copies.When the Library of Congress did a survey in 1991 on books that have affected people’s lives, “To Kill a Mockingbird” was second only to the Bible. Lee herself became more elusive to the public as her book became more famous. At first, she dutifully promoted her work. She spoke frequently to the press, wrote about herself and gave speeches, once to a class of cadets at West Point.But shebegan declining interviews in the mid-1960s and, until late in her life, firmly avoided making any public comment about her novel or her career.Her novel, while hugely popular, was not ranked by many scholars in the same category as the work of other Southern authors Decades after its publication, little was written about it in scholarly journals. Some critics have called the book naive and sentimental, whether dismissing the Ku Klux Klan as a minor nuisance or advocating change through personal persuasion rather than collective action.Section 2: Chinese-English Translation (50 points)Translate the following passage into English.本公司是一家大型国有房地产上市公司，国家一级房地产开发资质企业，连续五年荣膺中国房地产行业领导公司品牌。
