第3章阅读理解◆单项选择题练习1.Martin Lynch, an American businessman, had been going on vacation to a small Mexican fishing village for a number of years. One morning while going for a walk along the beach, he saw his friend Pablo Perez, a local fisherman. Martin watched Pablo unload his boat and pack the fish in a box.Martin noticed Pablo was smiling and looked very happy. He could also see several large fish in the boat. Martin greeted Pablo and asked how long it took to catch the fish. “Just a few hours, “replied Pablo.”Martin asked, “Why didn’t you stay longer and catch more fish?”“I have enough for my family,”Pablo said. “And what do you do with the rest of your day?”asked Martin. “I take a nap, play with my children, spend time with my wife, and go into the village to see my friends and play cards. I have a full and busy life.”Martin explained that if Pablo worked longer hours and caught more fish, he could make more money. With the extra money, Pablo could buy more boats and catch many more fish. By selling the fish, Pablo could open his own factory and sell direct to supermarkets.“Then what?”asked Pablo. “Well you would probably have to move to Mexico City to run the business. Finally, you would be able to sell your business and make millions of dollars,”replied Martin. “How long will that take?”asked Pablo.Martin thought for a while and said it would probably take at least 15 years.“And then what?”asked Pablo.“Well, that’s the best part,”Martin said. “You will be able to retire, buy a house near the ocean, sleep longer, play with your children, spend more time with your wife, see your friends, and play cards.”1.

第4章翻译◆英译汉句子翻译练习1.Farmers use different kinds of soil conservation methods to protect their land against damage from farming and the forces of nature. One important form of soil conservation is the use of wind- breaks.Windbreaks are barriers(栅栏) formed by trees and other plants with many leaves. Farmers plant them in lines around their fields.Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away. 81.They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops. They are very important for growing grains, such as wheat.There have been studies done on windbreaks. 82.Studies in parts of West Africa, for example. found that grain harvests can be twenty percent higher in fields protected by windbreaks. This was compared to fields without such protection.Windbreaks can help protect a farmer’s land. 83.However, windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through. If the wall of trees and plants blocks the wind completely. then violent air motions will take place close to the ground. These motions cause the soil to lift up into the air where it will be blown away.For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only sixty to eighty percent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line.【答案与解析】81.防风林也可以阻止大风毁坏庄家作物。
