Translation passagesPassage 1 )E6;-rD0^+  
。科学杰出之处就在于它能创造人为的可控之物,科学和工程学使我们能够建造我们今天得以生活在其中的部分人工化了的环境,在这个环境里充满了无数大桥、卡车、飞机、抗生素和基因变异物种。我们很有可能建造一个日益更加人为化,也因而渐渐更加可知的未来世界。 s_x:T<]  
有两种局限性制约着预测能力的发展。首先,随着科学和工程学所创造的东西越来越大,越来越复杂,这些东西本身很可能变得不可预测。例如, 大型软件,随着其自身的扩展和完善,能发展成一个程度的自然物所具有的复杂性,且获得一定能力,来干扰或以不可预测的方式进行活动。 f` :i.Sr  
It is in creating the artificial and controllable that science excels. Science and engineering have made it possible to construct the partially artificial surroundings we live in today, replete with huge bridges, trucks, airplanes, antibiotics and genetically altered species. We are likely to build an increasingly artificial, and hence increasingly knowable world. ,S'p %g  
Two limitations may constrain the march of predictability. First, as the artifacts of science and engineering grow ever larger and more complex, they may themselves become unpredictable. For example, large pieces of software, as they are expanded and amended, can develop a degree of complexity reminiscent of natural objects, and they can and do believe in disturbing and unpredictable ways. _{R=B8Zz\

Passage 2 ZZcEt  
  自从本世纪八十年代中期以来,虚拟现实就开始强烈地吸引着公众的兴趣,人们戴着巨大的头盔观望镜和布满感应器的手套。技术曾经使人们沉浸于一个电脑主宰的世界之中; 然而,今后的十几年间,将产生巨大的变化,从而使得戴着头盔观望镜的赛百空间遨游者的形象十分时髦,就象戴着沉重的潜海头盔的海底探险者一样。 t<~$  
对虚拟现实而言,重要的是它所产生的什么样的效果,而不是它是如何产生这些效果的。虚拟现实能使人们感到自己好象处于一个他们从未到过的境界之中。这种境界似乎是计算机文艺创作出来的;也可能是从另一时间、空间再创造而成的。虚拟现实通过同时刺激几种感觉,如视觉、听觉、触觉,并通过人对各种运动迅速作出反应的反应,来展示形象的   dY@WI[yog  
Passage 3 &krwf ]|  
什么是赛百空间(cyberspace)?按约翰·帕利·巴洛的说法,赛百空间可以最言简意赅地定义为“你利用电话进行交谈时所处的空间”。 当然, 赛百空间之所云比打电话更广泛。它包括数以百万计的计算机用调制解调器通过电话系统相连形成的联网商业服务系统, 它接入当地高速信息网络、办公电子邮件和国际互联网之中。它包括发展迅速的无线服务系统:负责大量的手机信号与数据传输的微波发射塔;连珠似的运行于地球同步轨道上的通讯卫星;象怒蜂一样穿梭往返于地球与太空之间的低空卫星,它们把用线路联络显得太远或花费太多的人们联原来的电缆线,利用光缆和高速转换器建成的那种所谓的全方位服务网络那样 b7!Qn}  
Cyberspace, of course, is bigger than a telephone call. It encompasses the millions of personal computers connected by modems via the telephone system   to commercial online services, as well as the millions more with high - speed links to local area networks, office E-mail systems and the Internet. It includes the rapidly expanding wireless services: microwave towers that carry great quantities of cellular phone and data traffic; communications satellites strung like beads in geosynchronous orbit; low - flying satellites that will soon crisscross the globe like angry bees connecting folks too far - flung or too much on the go to be fastened by wires. Someday even our television sets may he part of cyberspace, transformed into interactive teleputers" by so- called full- service networks like the ones several cable - TV companies are building along the old cable lines, using fiber optics arid high speed switches.

Passage 4 nA P.^_K  
世界知识产权组织—英语简称为“WIPO—The World Intellectual Property Organization”¾是根据1967年在斯德哥尔摩签订的公约而成立的,该公约于1970年生效,中国于1980年6月3日加入公约. PH?#)l D  
  世界知识产权组织为一政府间组织,总部设在日内瓦,它是联合国世界知识产权组织系统下的许多专门结构之一,它负责通过国际间的合作促进对全世界知识产权的保护. hF@Gn/  
  知识产权包括两个主要部分:工业产权和版权. 工业产权主要是对发明﹑商标和工业品外观设计的保护,以及制止不正当竞争.前三项有一些共同点.。因为对发明制止不正当竞争﹑商标和工业品外观的设计都是用专属实施权的方式保护的(如专利权). 制止不正当竞争同专属权无关。而是反对违犯诚实经营工商业的竞争行为。 LEW'G"+  
The world Intellectual Property Organization, or WIPO for short, --was set up according to the treaty signed in Stockholm in 1967. This treaty was put into effect in 1970. China was invited to join the treaty On June 3rd, 1980. Y2d;E.DH8  
  The world Intellectual Property Organization is an organization among governments whose headquarters is in Geneva, Switzerland. It is one of the specialized institutions under the United Nations’ intellectual property system. The headquarters is in charge of improving the protection of the world intellectual properties in the world sphere through the international cooperation. si&S%4(  
The intellectual properties include two main parts: the industrial properties and the publishing properties. k$ H%.l;E  
The industrial property protection is mainly concerned with the protection of the inventions in trademarks and designs of industrial products. It also stipulates the prohibition of improper competition. The former three aspects have something in common for their exclusive methods in protecting intellectual properties, such as inventions, trademarks and the product surface outlooks, etc. However, it has nothing to do with the patent rights in prohibiting unfair competition. It is mainly about the prevention of unfair competitions in dishonest business behaviors. ][W_[0v  
The protection of publication properties is usually concerned with that of literary and art works, whose forms may include literature, music, painting, cubic products or their combinations (such as operas and films). Almost all the countries copy rights stipulate the protection of the following types of works: literature, music, fine arts, photograghs and film photography. FDVcow*]n

Passage 5 Bn61AFy`  
  正如所有的艺术家、设计家和工匠们会面临的那样,William Morris陷入了这样一种难题:如何为大众市场生产美好的东西同时又不至于使人因高价而不敢问津。Morris 痛恨应合他所谓的那种“富人的令人厌恶的奢侈。”但他唯一的解决方法只能是提倡结束资本主义制度。这在技术革新对工商业极为有利的时候(特别是在大规模生产领域)是一个不现实的目标。最终Morris不得不面对现实:他的拒绝使用机器和拒绝剥夺他那些心爱的男女工匠(他是一个了不起的女权主义斗士)们的技术,意味着他只能为上层阶级生产奢侈品。 AZa 6 C w  
Morris was caught up in the paradoxthat faces all artists, designers and craftworkers; how to make beautiful things for the mass market without incurring prohibitively high costsalong the way. Morris hated the idea of pandering to what he called the "swinish luxury of the rich". But his only solution was to advocate the end of the capitalist system of production This was an unrealistic goal in an age when technological innovation -- especially in the area of mass-production - was economically advantageous to business. In the end, Morris hid to face reality; that his refusal to adopt the machine and de-skill   his beloved craftsmen and women (he was a great championof women's rights) meant that he could only produce luxury goods for the upper classes.

Passage 1 c65_E<5Z  
As the horizons of science have expanded, two main groups of scientists have emerged. One is the pure scientist; the other, the applied scientist. K)2ZH@  
The pure or theoretical scientist does original research in order to understand the basic laws of nature that govern our world. The applied scientist adapts this knowledge to practical problems. Neither is more important than the other, however, for the two groups are very much related. Sometimes, however, the applied scientist finds the "problem" for the theoretical scientist to work on. Let's take a particular problem of the aircraft industry: heat-resistant metals. Many of the metals and alloys which perform satisfactorily in a car cannot be used in a jet-propelled plane. New alloys must be used, because the jet engine operates at a much higher temperature than an automobile engine. The turbine wheel in a turbojet must withstand temperatures as high as 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit, so aircraft designers had to turn to the research metallurgist for the development of metals and alloys that would do the job in jet-propelled planes.   =<-tD<  
Dividing scientists into two groups is only one broad way of classifying them, however. When scientific knowledge was very limited, there was no need for men to specialize. Today, with the great body of scientific knowledge, scientists ? '1)BZ!  
specialize in many different fields. Within each field, there is even further subdivision. And, with finer and finer subdivisions, the various sciences have become more and more interrelated until no one branch is entirely independent of the' others. Many new specialties --geophysics and biochemistry, for example -- have resulted from combining the knowledge of two or more sciences. C;DNL^

Passage q10gKVJum  
In The Disuniting of America: Reflections on a Multicultural Society, Revised and Enlarged Edition (W. W. Norton) Schlesinger provides deep insights into the crises of nationhood in America. A new chapter assesses the impact both of radical multiculturalism and radical monoculturalism on the Bill of rights. Written with his usual clarity and force, the book brings a noted historian's wisdom and perspective to bear on America's "culture wars".   <}b`2/wP  
Schlesinger addresses the questions: What holds a nation together? And what does it mean to be an American? Describing the emerging cult of ethnicity, Schlesinger praises its healthy effect on a nation long shamed by a history of prejudice and narrow-mindedness. But he warns against the campaign of multicultural advocates to divide the nation into separate ethnic and racial communities. From the start, he observes, the United States has been a multicultural nation, rich in its diversity but held together by a shared commitment to the democratic process and by the freedom of intermarriage. It was this national talent for assimilation that impressed foreign visitors like Alexis de Tocqueville and James Bryce, and it is this historic goal that Schlesinger champions as the best hope for the future. Schlesinger analyzes what ZdHfZ3)dB  
he sees as grim consequences of identity politics: the widening of differences. Attacks on the First Amendment, he argues, threaten intellectual freedom and, ultimately, the future of the ethnic groups. His criticisms are not limited to the left. As a former target of McCarthyism, he understands that the radical right is even more willing than the radical left to restrict and weaken the Bill of Rights. IM&2SSmYNH  
The author does not minimize the injustices concealed by the "melting pot" dream. The Disuniting of America is both academic and personal, forceful in argument, balanced in judgment. It is a book that will no doubt anger some readers, but it will surely make all of   them think again. The winner of Pulitzer Prizes for history and for biography, an authoritative voice of American liberalism, Schlesinger is uniquely positioned to bring bold answers and healing wisdom to this passionate debate over who we are and what we should become. bs!N~, 6h  
6. According to Schlesinger, the United States is_____. <v;;:RB6 c  
A. a melting pot               _aVrQ@9  
B. a nation with diverse cultures held together by the democratic process m xtLcG4G  
C. a federation of ethnic and racial communities   V6"<lK8"  
D. a nation with various ethnic and racial groups vCT5do"C&  
7. We can infer from the passage that Schlesinger______. tS,nO:+x  
A. advocates the assimilation of different cultures into one nationhood *,hS-  
B. prefers multiculturalism to monoculturalism t3K7W2bz  
C. gives full support to the emerging cult of ethnicity         0 Vv 6B2<

Passage 3 s42M[BW]  
The El Nino ("little boy" in Spanish) that pounded the globe between the summers of1997 and 1998 was in some measure the most destructive in this century. Worldwide damage estimates exceed ~20 billion --not to mention the human death toll caused by resulting   droughts, floods and bushfires. El Nino and La Nina ("little girl") are part of a seesawing of winds and currents in the equatorial Pacific called ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) that appears every two to eight years. Normally, westward-blowing trade winds caused by the   rotation of the earth and conditions in the Tropics push surface water across the Pacific towards Asia. The warm water piles up along the coasts of Indonesia, Australia and the Philippines, raising sea levels more than a foot above those on the South American side of the Pacific. As El Nino builds the normal east-to-west trade winds wane. Like water splashing in a giant bathtub, the elevated pool of warm water washes from Asian shores back towards South America. jW*|Mu>2  
In last season's cycle, surface temperatures off the west coast of South America soared from a normal high of 23°C degrees to 28°C degrees. This area of warm water, twice the size of the continental US, interacted with the atmosphere, creating storms and displacing   high-altitude winds. El Nino brought rain that flooded normally dry coastal areas of Ecuador, Chile and Peru, while droughts struck Australia and Indonesia. Fires destroyed some five million acres of Indonesian forest. The drought, along with the economic crisis, left about five million people desperate for food and water. These conditions helped set the stage for riots that led to the downfall of President Suharto. El Nino also took the blame for extreme temperatures in Texas last summer over 38°C degrees for a record 30 days in a row. In Florida, lush vegetation turned to tinder and bushfires raged. Even Britain has been sweltering with our hottest year on record in 1997. <uUQ-]QOIh

Passage 4 HA&7 ybl  
In patients with Huntington's disease, it's the part of the brain called the basal ganglia that's destroyed. While these victims have perfectly intact explicit memory systems, they can't learn new motor skills. An Alzheimer's patient can learn to draw in a mirror but can't remember doing it: a Huntington's patient can't do it but can remember trying to learn. Yet another region of the brain, an almond-size knot of neural tissue seems to be crucial in forming and triggering the recall of a special subclass of memories that is tied to strong emotion, especially fear. These are just some of the major divisions. Within the category implicit memory, for example, lie the subcategories of associative memory – the phenomenon that famously led Parlov's dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell which they had learned to associate with food and of habituation, in which we unconsciously file away unchanging features of the environment so we can pay closer attention to what's new and different upon encountering a new experience. H'k$<S  
Within explicit, or declarative memory, on the other hand, there are specific subsystems that handle shapes, textures such as faces, names -- even distinct systems to remember nouns vs. verbs. All of these different types of memory are ultimately stored in the brain's cortex, within its deeply furrowed outer layer -- a component of the brain dauntingly more complex than comparable parts in other species. Experts in brain imaging are only beginning to understand what goes where, and how the parts are reassembled into a coherent whole that seems to be a single memory is actually a complex construction. Think of a hammer, and your brain hurriedly retrieves the tool's name, its appearance, its function, its heft and the sound of its clang, each extracted from a different region of the brain. Fail to connect person's name with his or her face, and you experience the breakdown of that assembly process that many of us begin to experience in our 20s and that becomes downrightworrisome when we reach our 50s. % @ UH,Ew  
It was this weakening of memory and the parallel loss of ability to learn new things easily that led biologist Joe Tsien to the experiments reported last week. "This age-dependent loss of function," he says, "appears in many animals, and it begins with the onset of sexual maturity."   C'&)""3d  
What's happening when the brain forms memories -- and what fails with aging, injury and disease -- involves a phenomenon known as "plasticity". It's obvious that something in the brain changes as we learn and remember new things, but it's equally obvious that the organ doesn't change its overall structure or grow new nerve cells wholesale. Instead, it's the connections between new cells -- and particularly the strength of these connections that are altered by experience. Hear a word over and over, and the repeated firing of certain cells in a certain order makes it easier to repeat the firing pattern later on. It is the pattern that represents each specific memory. G2 A#&86J{

Passage 5   ]0 N'Wtbn  
Mobility of individual members and family groups tends to split up family relationships. Occasionally the movement of a family away from a situation which has been the source of friction results in greater family organization, but on the whole mobility is disorganizing.   Individuals and families are involved in three types of mobility: movement in space, movement up or down in social status, and the movement of ideas. These are termed respectively spatial, vertical and ideational mobility. q5 eyle6  
A great increase in spatial mobility has gone along with improvements in rail and water transportation, the invention and use of the automobile, and the availability of airplane passenger service. Spatial mobility results in a decline in the importance of the traditional home with its emphasis on family continuity and stability. It also means that when individual family members or the family as a whole move away from a community, the person or the family is removed from the pressures of relatives, friends, and community institutions for conventionality and stability. Even more important is the fact that spatial mobility permits some members of a family to come in contact with and possibly adopt attitudes, values, and ways of thinking different from those held by other family members. The presence of different attitudes values, and ways of thinking within a family may, and often does, result in conflict and family disorganization. Potential disorganization is present in those families in which the husband, wife and children are spatially separated over a long period, or are living   together but see each other only briefly because of different work schedules. i%BrnjX  
One index of the increase in vertical mobility is the great increase in the proportion of sons, and to some extent daughters who engage in occupations other than those of the parents. Another index of vertical mobility is the degree of intermarriage between social classes. This occurs almost exclusively between classes which are adjacent to each other. Engaging in a different occupation, or intermarriage, like spatial mobility, allows one to come in contact with ways of behavior different from those of the parental home, and tends to separate parents and their children.  1B}q?8n  
The increase in ideational mobility is measured by the increase in publications, such as newspapers, periodicals and books, the increase in the percentage of the population owning radios, and the increase in television sets. All these tend to introduce new ideas into the home. When individual family members are exposed to and adopt the new ideas, the tendency is for conflict to arise and for those in conflict to become psychologically separated from each other.   & gF*p  
21. What the passage tells us can be summarized by the statement___. PJd7t% m;

Passage 6 ^oZz,q  
A design for a remotely-controlled fire engine could make long road or rail tunnels safer. It is the brainchild of an Italian fire safety engineer, who claims that his invention -- dubbed Robogat -- could have cut the death toll in the disastrous Mont Blanc tunnel fire in March   1999 which killed 41 people. j@w+>h  
Most of the people who perished dies within 15 minutes of smoke first being detected. Quick action is needed when fire breaks out in a tunnel. Robogat can travel at about 50 kilometers per hour. The Mont Blanc fire was 5 kilometers from the   French end of the tunnel, so a machine could have got there in about six minutes. ?(C(9vO  
The Robogat has been designed and patented by Domenico Piatti of the Naples fire department. It runs on a monorail suspended from the roof of the tunnel. When the Robogat reaches a fire, it plugs into a modified water main running along the tunnel and directs its hoses at the base of the fire. It is capable of pumping 3,000 liters of high-pressure water per minute--about the same rate as that from an airport fire tender. Normal fire engines deliver 500 liters per minute. The machine's heat-resistant skin is designed to withstand temperatures of up to 1,000°C. Designed to fight fires in tunnels up to 12 kilometers long, the Robogat will be operated from a control centre outside the tunnel. Ideally, tunnels should have a Robogat stationed at each end, allowing fires to be tackled from both sides.  uj8G6'm%  
Piatti says that it would be relatively cheap to install the Robogat in new tunnels, with each machine costing around £250,000. "That's not expensive," says Stuart Jagger, a British fire-fighting specialist, who adds, "Fire-fighters normally have to approach the blaze from   upwind. People have dies if the ventilation is overwhelmed or someone changes the ventilation. If the robot worked remotely it would be an advantage." But this introduces extra problems: the Robogat would have to feed information about the state of the fire back to its controller, and the sensors, like the rest of the machine, would have to be fire-resistant. Piatti is now looking for financial backing to build a prototype. tx$i(  
26. The Robogat can quickly get through to the scene of a fire because___. R,Gr{"H  
A. it is in position in the middle of the tunnel   C(w?`]Qs

71. Wildlife refuges mainly serve as havens for millions of ducks, geese and other migratory birds. And this is what most people come to see. Much of the fun is in knowing and distinguishing the many kinds that are present in great variety. The activities and antics of the bird world are fascinating to anyone taking the time to observe up close. A camera, likewise, will record some of the unusual sights that will be seen. "R!) "B==  
  Most of the areas are staffed by biologists m individuals who have a great interest in the outdoors. They are all enthusiastic naturalists who can help a person to a richer enjoyment of the world of nature. A stop at the refuge headquarters will yield ideas on what to see and where, as well as helpful literature. A few refuges have visitor centers where displays tell the story of the refuge and where there are movies or color slide shows of the area and its wildlife.  Hunting on a refuge seems inconsistent with its purpose of protecting and saving. However, big game, if allowed to increase to an excessive degree, can be their own worst enemy. They overbrowse their range. Then starvation ruins the herd. But even before nature balances animals to food supply, the destruction of, trees and shrubs removes food and cover essential to many smaller animals as well. It's good management of the game, and to the sportsman's benefit, to crop big game judiciously. !EuqJjh
