Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension Directions:
Each of the passages below is followed by some questions.For each question there are four answers marked [A],[B],[C]and [D].Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.Then mark your answer on ANSWER SHEET 1 by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets with a pencil.(40 points)
Passage1
Specialisation can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation of scientific knowledge.By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units,one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research.But specialisation was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication.Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.
No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science:exceptions can be found to any rule.Nevertheless,the word “amateur”does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and,in particular,may not fully share its values,The growth of specialisation in the nineteenth century,with its consequent requirement of a longer,more complex training,implied greater problems for amateur participation in science.The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training,and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.
A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research,but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper.Thus,in the nineteenth century,local geological studies represented worthwhile research in their own right;but,in the twentieth century,local studies have increasingly become acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate,and reflect on,the wider geological picture.Amateurs,on the other hand,have continued to pursue local studies in the old way.The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs,a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing,first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century.As a logical consequence of this development,separate journals have now appeared aimed mainly towards either professional or amateur readership.A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies,whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way. Although the process of professionalisation and specialisation was already well under way in British geology during the nineteenth century,its full consequences were thus delayed until the twentieth century.In science generally,however ,the nineteenth century must be reckoned as the crucial period for this change in the structure of science.

［注释］这是一道类比判断题。细节类比判断题。作者在第1段一开头就指出，专业化是科学知识不断积累的结果。把学科内容分成更小的单位，科学家就能不断处理这些信息，并以此作为进一步研究的基础。在第2段最后一句中又指出，这种趋势在那引进尤其是以数学或实验室训练为基础的科学领域自然最为明显。英国地质学的发展就能说明这一点。可见，以数学或实验室训练为基础的学科一般是指自然科学，故［D］“物理学和化学”最为切题。

（本题分值：2分）
【正确答案】
C
［注释］这是一道细节题，问专业化的直接导因是什么。该问题问专业分工的直接原因是什么。我们可以根据第一段第一句“专业分工可以看做是对科学知识不断积累问题的反映”得知［C］答案“科学知识的膨胀”正确，而其他三项均不符合题意。译文 解读 可以把专业分工看作是对科学知识的不断积累问题的反映。科学知识按内容类别可分成较小的单元，人们可以继续把握信息并把它作为进一步研究的基础。然而，专业分工只是影响信息交流过程的一系列相关科学发展的一部分。另一部分是科学活动不断地专业化的倾向。 这是一篇议论文。
第一段指出科学知识的积累造成了知识的进一步分类和分化，即专业化发展。与专业化发展同时并存的另一现象是科学活动的日益职业化。 在科学上，专业人员和非专业人员之间没有明确的界线：任何规则都有例外。然而，“业余人员”一词确实包含这样的意义：他并没有与科学界集结成一体，特别是可能与专业人员的价值标准的不同。19世纪专业分工的发展要求时间更长、内容更加复杂的培训，这暗示了业余人员参加科学活动具有更大的问题。这一趋势在以数学和实验室培训为基础的科学领域里表现得最为自然和明显。英国地质学的发展可以证明这一问题。 第二段指出专业化的发展给业余研究者的进入带来了困难，这种趋势在某些科学领域尤为突出。 将英国最近一个半世纪以来的地质学刊物作比较，可以发现，不仅研究的重要性越来越受到重视，而且，学术论文的出版标准也在不断变化。所以，虽然19世纪区域地质学研究的本身代表了有价值的科研活动；但是，在20世纪，区域研究只有在涉及包容、思考更宽范围的问题时，才越来越被专业人员所接受。另一方面，业余人员仍然以旧的方式继续进行区域研究。结果是，业余人员更难在专业的地质刊物上发表论文。19世纪的国家级杂志和20世纪的几家地方地质杂志先后广泛地引入了评审制度，这就使这一问题表现得更为突出。这一发展的结果必然是：出现了以专业读者或非专业读者为主要对象的刊物。另一极其相似的分化过程是，全国的专业地质学者集中在一起，组成一两个专业的团体，然而，非专业人员则倾向于留在地方学会里，或者，以另一种大不相同的方式在全国范围内聚集起来。 第三段指出以英国地质学研究为例，说明专业人员和业余人员之间分化越来越明显。 在19世纪，虽然专业化和专业的分工过程在英国地质学领域内早就开始形成，但其结果充分表现出来却延迟到20世纪。然而，从整个科学领域的范围来讲，19世纪必定被认为是这种科学结构改变的关键期。 第四段指出面对这种专业化和职业化过程，19世纪的英国地质学领域是其变化的关键时期。

Passage 2
A great deal of attention is being paid today to the so-called digital divide—the division of the world into the info (information) rich and the info poor.And that divide does exist today.My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty years ago.What was less visible then,however,were the new,positive forces that work against the digital divide.There are reasons to be optimistic. There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide will narrow.As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized,it is in the interest of business to universalize access—after all,the more people online,the more potential customers there are.More and more governments,afraid their countries will be left behind,want to spread Internet access.Within the next decade or two,one to two billion people on the planet will be netted together.As a result,I now believe the digital divide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead.And that is very good news because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combating world poverty that weve ever had. Of course,the use of the Internet isnt the only way to defeat poverty.And the Internet is not the only tool we have. But it has enormous potential. To take advantage of this tool,some impoverished countries will have to get over their outdated anticolonial prejudices with respect to foreign investment.Countries that still think foreign investment is an invasion of their sovereignty might well study the history of infrastructure (the basic structural foundations of a society) in the United States.When the United States built its industrial infrastructure,it didnt have the capital to do so.And that is why Americas Second Wave infrastructure—including roads,harbors,highways,ports and so on—were built with foreign investment.The English,the Germans,the Dutch and the French were investing in Britains former colony.They financed them.Immigrant Americans built them.Guess who owns them now? The Americans.I believe the same thing would be true in places like Brazil or anywhere else for that matter.The more foreign capital you have helping you build your Third Wave infrastructure,which today is an electronic infrastructure,the better off youre going to be.That doesnt mean lying down and becoming fooled,or letting foreign corporations run uncontrolled.But it does mean recognizing how important they can be in building the energy and telecom infrastructures needed to take full advantage of the Internet. 55、Digital divide is something.

［注释］这是一道推断题。该题问现在一个国家的经济似乎依赖什么。我们可以参照文章最后一段倒数第三句“当今是第三次浪潮，即电子基础设施的建设。发展电子设施所拥有的资本越多，将来就越富有”因此［A］答案“电子方面是否发达”正确，［B］和［C］答案文章并未提及，［D］答案“该国对外国公司控制的力度”与文章内容不符，故答案［A］正确。译文 解读 现如今人们正在关注着所谓的信息差异，即世界上信息资源丰富的地区与信息资源贫乏地区之间的差异。今天，这种差异的确存在。我和妻子20年前就当时隐约出现的这种危险也做过讲演。然而，可以防止这种信息差出现的一些新的积极因素在当时并不如现在这样明显。现在，我们有理由不必为此悲观。 这是一篇议论文。
第一段指出信息差异的存在是危险的，但仍有值得乐观的地方。 从技术方面看，这种信息差异有希望缩小。因为随着英特网日益商业化、普及，其使用符合商家的利益。毕竟，上网的人数越多，未来的顾客就越多。目前，由于害怕自己的国家会落后，越来越多的政府将扩大英特网的使用范围。在未来的20年内，世界上将有一二十亿人入英特网。因此，我认为将来信息差异只能缩小，不会再扩大。这消息确实不错，因为，英特网完全可以成为战胜目前我们所面临的世界贫困的有力工具。 第二段指出互联网技术的发展将慢慢消除国家间的这种差距。 当然，使用英特网并不是战胜贫困的惟一方法，而且英特网也不是我们拥有的惟一工具，但是，其潜力巨大。 第三段指出英特网虽不是惟一但却是重要的工具。 为了利用英特网这一工具，一些贫困国家必须抛弃对外国投资所持有的那种已过时的反殖民偏见。仍然认为外国投资是对本国主权的一种入侵的那些国家最好研究一下美国建设基础设施的历史。美国当初建设自己的工业基础设施时没有足够的资本。这就是美国的第二浪潮，即基础设施的建设，包括公路、港口、交通干线、码头等都用外国投资的原因。英国、德国、荷兰及法国当时都为这一英国前殖民地投了资金。这些国家的投资，美国移民的建设，猜猜看，现在谁拥有这些设施呢?是美国人。我相信在巴西及别的地方，这类情况是相同的。当今是第三次浪潮，即电子基础设施的建设。发展电子设施所拥有的资本越多，将来就越富有。但这并不意味着屈从和任人榨取，也不意味着外国公司可以随意发展。然而这确实表明资本在建设能源及电信基础设施中是至关重要的，而这些基础设施对于充分利用英特网也是必不可少的。 第四段指出要想充分利用因特网，就要积极利用外资。因为美国在第二次浪潮即基础设施建设的成功例子说明了利用外资的重要性，现在第三次浪潮的电子基础设施建设中，利用外资同样十分重要。

Passage 3
Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in their newspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying to answer this painful question.The organization is deep into a long selfanalysis known as the journalism credibility project.
Sad to say,this project has turned out to be mostly lowlevel findings about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes,combined with lots of headscratching puzzlement about what in the world those readers really want.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper.Most journalists learn to see the world through a set of standard templates (patterns) into which they plug each days events.In other words,there is a conventional story line in the newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a readymade narrative structure for otherwise confusing news.
There exists a social and cultural disconnect between journalists and their readers,which helps explain why the “standard templates” of the newsroom seem alien to many readers.In a recent survey,questionnaires were sent to reporters in five middlesized cities around the country,plus one large metropolitan area.Then residents in these communities were phoned at random and asked the same questions. Replies show that compared with other Americans,journalists are more likely to live in upscale neighborhoods,have maids,own Mercedeses,and trade stocks,and theyre less likely to go to church,do volunteer work,or put down roots in a community. Reporters tend to be part of a broadly defined social and cultural elite,so their work tends to reflect the conventional values of this elite.The astonishing distrust of the news media isnt rooted in inaccuracy or poor reportorial skills but in the daily clash of world views between reporters and their readers.
This is an explosive situation for any industry,particularly a declining one.Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers.Then it sponsors lots of symposiums and a credibility project dedicated to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers.But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about.If it did,it would open up its diversity program,now focused narrowly on race and gender,and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook,values,education,and class.

译文 解读 为什么有这么多的美国人不相信报刊上读到的东西呢?美国报刊编辑协会正在试图解决这一令人痛苦的问题。该组织正在进行长时间的自我分析：一项叫做新闻可信度调查项目。 这是一篇议论文。
第一段引出问题，为什么美国人不相信报纸。 很遗憾该项目在事实误差、拼写及语法错误，以及这些读者究竟需要什么等令人困惑的问题方面的调查结果大部分相当肤浅。 第二段指出调查出的结果非常肤浅，并提出读者想要读些什么的疑问。 然而读者不相信报刊有更深层的原因。首先，大多数记者通过一套标准模式来看世界，并用其来衡量每天发生之事。换句话说，在新闻阶层有一种传统的写作规则，这种规则为在其他方面可能造成误解的新闻提供现成的叙事结构。 第三段指出造成公众对新闻媒体不信任有着更深层次的原因。 其次，记者和读者之间存在社会和文化差距。这种差距有助于解释许多读者不能理解新闻界标准模式的原因。在最近的一项调查中，对国内五个中等城市及一个大城市的记者们进行了问卷调查。然后，对这些地区的居民随意电话采访，对他们提出相同的问题。
结果表明，与其他美国人相比，记者更有可能居住在质优价高的地段，有仆人、高级进口汽车及股票，而不大可能去做礼拜、当志愿者或在普通社区定居。
记者可以说是文化及社会方面的精英，因此他们的工作往往仅反映上层的价值观。令人惊讶的是，读者不相信新闻媒体不是由于报导有误或报导技术不好，而是由于记者与读者之间存在世界观方面的冲突。 第四、五、六段指出问题的根源在于记者和读者之间世界观的日常冲突。 这种现象对任何行业都是难堪的局面，特别是对于日趋下降的行业。新闻界是令人棘手的行业，一直在雇佣态度令读者厌烦的职员。现在新闻界在组织各种座谈会及可信度调查以了解读者厌烦及躲避报刊的原因。但是新闻界似乎从未注意到以前的读者所不满意的文化与阶层偏见。如新闻界注意到这一点，现在就应该开办多样性栏目，寻找一些世界观、价值观、教育程度及社会层次完全不同的记者。 第七段指出尽管新闻界付出了努力，仍然不能满足读者的需要，是因为他们没有真正认识到问题所在，并提出建议
[A]failure to realize its real problem
[B]tendency to hire annoying reporters
[C]likeliness to do inaccurate reporting
[D]prejudice in matters of race and gender
Passage 4
The world is going through the biggest wave of mergers and acquisitions ever witnessed.The process sweeps from hyperactive America to Europe and reaches the emerging countries with unsurpassed might.Many in these countries are looking at this process and worrying:“Wont the wave of business concentration turn into an uncontrollable anticompetitive force?”
Theres no question that the big are getting bigger and more powerful.Multinational corporations accounted for less than 20% of international trade in 1982.Today the figure is more than 25% and growing rapidly.International affiliates account for a fastgrowing segment of production in economies that open up and welcome foreign investment.In Argentina,for instance,after the reforms of the early 1990s,multinationals went from 43% to almost 70% of the industrial production of the 200 largest firms.This phenomenon has created serious concerns over the role of smaller economic firms,of national businessmen and over the ultimate stability of the world economy.
I believe that the most important forces behind the massive M&A wave are the same that underlie the globalization process: falling transportation and communication costs,lower trade and investment barriers and enlarged markets that require enlarged operations capable of meeting customers demands.All these are beneficial,not detrimental,to consumers.As productivity grows,the worlds wealth increases. Examples of benefits or costs of the current concentration wave are scanty.Yet it is hard to imagine that the merger of a few oil firms today could recreate the same threats to competition that were feared nearly a century ago in the U.S.,when the Standard Oil trust was broken up.The mergers of telecom companies,such as WorldCom,hardly seem to bring higher prices for consumers or a reduction in the pace of technical progress.On the contrary,the price of communications is coming down fast.In cars,too,concentration is increasing—witness Daimler and Chrysler,Renault and Nissan—but it does not appear that consumers are being hurt.
Yet the fact remains that the merger movement must be watched.A few weeks ago,Alan Greenspan warned against the megamergers in the banking industry.Who is going to supervise,regulate and operate as lender of last resort with the gigantic banks that are being created? Wont multinationals shift production from one place to another when a nation gets too strict about infringements to fair competition? And should one country take upon itself the role of “defending competition”on issues that affect many other nations,as in the U.S.vs.Microsoft case?

B
［注释］这是一道作者态度题。态度题。从整篇文章的逻辑构思来看，作者一开头就提出主题——企业合并浪潮。然后指出引起这种合并的三个因素，并认为合并对可见，作者是从正反两个方面来分析合并浪潮的，故选择项［A］“客观的”符合上述分析。译文 解读 整个世界正经历着前所未有的最大合并潮。这一合并潮从极度活跃的美国到达欧洲，然后，以前所未有的力量到达那些日渐兴起的国家。这些国家的许多人都在关注着这一合并现象。他们为此担心：这种企业的合并会不会演变成一种无法控制的反竞争力量呢? 这是一篇议论文。
第一段指出世界正在经历一场兼并与收购浪潮，人们担心它会演变成一种无法控制的反竞争力量。 毫无疑问，合并之后规模大的企业会更大，力量也会更强。1982年，跨国公司在国际贸易中仅占20%弱。今天已超过25％，并且正以很快的速度增加。在对外开放的国度中，对外国投资是来者不拒；国际分公司的生产所占的比重也越来越大。例如阿根廷，20世纪90年代改革以后，在200家最大型的公司中，跨国公司的工业总产值几乎从43%上升至70%。这种现象引起了人们对小型经济实体、民族商人的作用以及世界经济的最终稳定性的极大关注。 第二段用数据证明了跨国公司的发展。 据我认为，引起这场合并潮的最重要的力量与导致全球化的力量是相同的，那就是运输与通信费用的下降；贸易与投资障碍的减少以及市场的扩大。这一切都需要扩大业务的往来来满足消费者的需求。这对消费者只能有利而不会不利。随着生产力的提高，世界财富也在增加。 第三段解释了造成企业合并现象的原因。 目前，这种合并潮带来的好处或害处所造成的损失还不是很多见。然而，目前几家石油公司的合并是否会再次给竞争带来威胁却难以预料，因为，美国一个世纪前曾经由于合并引发了一场竞争危机，造成了标准石油托拉斯解体。像世界电信这类电讯公司的合并好像不会造成费用的上升，也不会使技术进步速度减慢。恰恰相反地，通信费用在快速下降。汽车行业，如戴姆勒汽车公司、克莱斯勒、雷诺和尼桑汽车公司，也在合并，但消费者似乎并没有受到此合并的伤害。
然而，我们必须密切注视这种合并潮。几周前，阿兰·格林斯潘就告诫人们提防银行业的大合并。谁将作为最后形式的贷方监督、管理和运作这家正在形成的庞大银行呢?当一个国家对侵害公平竞争现象控制过于严格时，跨国公司会不会把生产从一个地方转移到另一方地方呢?一个国家能不能像美国对付微软公司那样，在影响他国利益的问题上承担起保护竞争的职责呢? 第四、五段具体分析了合并热潮的影响，认为它没能给消费和技术进步带来危害，还有可能使世界财富增长。同时作者也提醒人们要关注合并现象，避免其带来不利影响。

[B]objective
[C]pessimistic

Passage 5
When I decided to quit my full time employment it never occurred to me that I might become a part of a new international trend.A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although,in the manner of a disgraced government minister,I covered my exit by claiming “I wanted to spend more time with my family”.
Curiously,some twoandahalf years and two novels later,my experiment in what the Americans term “downshifting” has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality.I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of the philosophy of “having it all”,preached by Linda Kelsey for the past seven years in the pages of She magazine,into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit of everything.
I have discovered,as perhaps Kelsey will after her muchpublicized resignation from the editorship of She after a buildup of stress,that abandoning the doctrine of “juggling your life”,and making the alternative move into “downshifting” brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once enjoyed:12hour working days,pressured deadlines,the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on “quality time”.
In America, the move away from juggling to a simpler,less materialistic lifestyle is a wellestablished trend.Downshifting—also known in America as “voluntary simplicity”—has,ironically,even bred a new area of what might be termed anticonsumerism.There are a number of bestselling downshifting selfhelp books for people who want to simplify their lives;there are newsletters,such as The Tightwad Gazette,that give hundreds of thousands of Americans useful tips on anything from recycling their clingfilm to making their own soap;there are even support groups for those who want to achieve the mid90s equivalent of dropping out.
While in America the trend started as a reaction to the economic decline—after the mass redundancies caused by downsizing in the late 80s—and is still linked to the politics of thrift,in Britain,at least among the middleclass downshifters of my acquaintance,we have different reasons for seeking to simplify our lives.
For the women of my generation who were urged to keep juggling through the 80s,downshifting in the mid90s is not so much a search for the mythical good lifegrowing your own organic vegetables,and risking turning into one—as a personal recognition of your limitations.
67、Which of the following is true according to paragraph 1?
（本题分值：2分）
【正确答案】
B
［注释］这是一道是非判断题。细节归纳题。作者在第一段第二句写道：“平级的工作调动损伤了我的自尊心，并且阻止了我的职务提升，这就促使我放弃了相对来说地位较高的工作”。由此可知，作者是环境所迫而辞职的，故应选［B］。［A］答案“专职工作是国际新潮流”与题干不相容，［C］答案“平级调动”是辞去专职工作的真正原因，与题干是因果关系，故也不对，而［D］答案“作者只是想用多一点时间陪陪家人”只是表面原因。
[A]Full-time employment is a new international trend.
[B]The writer was compelled by circumstances to leave her job.
[C]“A lateral move”means stepping out of full-time employment.
[D]The writer was only too eager to spend more time with her family.
68、The writers experiment shows that downshifting.

【正确答案】
B
［注释］这是一道细节题。该题问“作者的经历表明放慢生活节奏产生的结果是什么”。［A］答案“使她能够实现她的梦想”不对，因为她只是不得已而为之。［B］答案“使她形成一种新的人生哲学”，正是作者经历的结果。［C］答案“促使她放弃高贵的社会地位”是她经历的内容，而不是表明结果。［D］答案“使她接受《女性》杂志的观念”则与原文矛盾。故选［B］。
[A]enables her to realize her dream
[B]helps her mold a new philosophy of life
[C]prompts her to abandon her high social status
[D]leads her to accept the doctrine of She magazine

C
［注释］这是一道词义题。该题问“过忙碌的生活；这种生活方式的特征是什么”。答案［A］“非物质的生活方式”，［B］答案“对一切都小心谨慎”，［D］答案“反消费主义”都与作者后来的“放慢生活节奏”生活方式相关，只有［C］答案“极度紧张”是：“12HOUR WORKING DAYS, PRESSURED DEADLINES, THE FEARFUL STRAIN OF OFFICE POLITICS AND THE LIMITATIONS OF BEING A PARENT ON ‘QUALITY TIME’”的总结，也是本题的答案。
[A]non-materialistic lifestyle
[B]a bit of everything
[C]extreme stress
[D]anti-consumerism

【正确答案】
D
［注释］这是一道细节题。该题问“根据文章，‘低速度’生活方式的原因是什么”，我们通读全文后可知道，［A］答案“现代生活快节奏”，［B］答案“人的冒险精神”和［C］答案“人类寻求神话般的经历”都未在文中明确提出。而［D］答案“经济形势”我们可以在倒数第二段可以找到“经济衰退”的起因。故本题答案为［D］
。译文 解读 当我决定辞去专职工作的时候，我从来没想到我会成为国际新潮流的一分子。一次平级的调动却伤害了我的自尊心，而且阻碍了我业务上的进步，这就促使我放弃我那些相当注重个人形象的职业。然而，我却以一位大势已去的政府部长的姿态，宣称“我想多陪陪家人”。以此掩盖我辞职的真正原因。
令人诧异的是，在大约两年半的时间里，我写出了两部小说，之后，我的这种被美国人称为“低速挡”的尝试已经将我那陈词滥调的借口转化成了绝对的事实。我已经从过去七年里琳达·凯尔西的《女性》杂志再三宣扬的“拥有一切”哲学的积极倡导者，转化成一个对一切浅尝辄止就心满意足的妇女。
我发现，放弃那种“忙碌地应付生活”的信念而选择“低速挡”将带来比金钱和社会地位更大的回报。凯尔西长期经受巨大压力后，从编辑《女性》杂志的位置退下来之后，恐怕她也将与我有同样的发现。没有任何事情能够规劝我重返那种凯尔西曾经倡导而我本人也曾钟爱的生活：12小时的工作日，重负不堪的死期限，工作中尔虞我诈令人提心吊胆的紧张不安，在“最佳时期”为人父母的限制。 这是一篇议论文。第一、二、三段讲述了作者辞去全职工作后的感受。从这次生活经历中形成了新的生活哲学，开始愿意过那种"放慢生活节奏"的生活而无太大压力的生活。 在美国，从过忙碌生活转向过一种更简朴、更远离物质的生活方式已是一个不争的趋势。颇具讽刺意义的是，换低速挡，在美国被称为“甘愿简朴”的生活方式居然产生出一个可称为“反消费主义”的新领域。对那些想要过简朴生活的人，有许多畅销的关于“低速挡”生活方式的自助书；还有像《守财奴报》之类的通讯，给数十万美国人提供包罗万象而且实用的指导，从胶卷的再利用到自己制造肥皂；甚至还有支援小组，帮助那些想在20世纪90年代中期逃避社会现实的人实现理想。 第四段指出简朴生活方式已是美国的一种大的潮流趋势。 在美国，这一趋势是对经济衰落的反应，它在20世纪80年代晚期企业缩小规模导致大规模裁员之后才与节俭的观点密切相连；而在英国，至少在我认识的这些过换低速挡生活的中产阶级当中，寻求简朴的生活却有着不同的原因。
在整个20世纪80年代，我们这一代女性忙碌地应付着生活，在90年代中期过“低速挡”的生活，对我们来说实际上是争取个人极限的自我认可，而不是去追求那种自己种有蔬菜并试图与之合一的神话般的美好生活。 第五、六段指出这一趋势是对经济衰退的一种反映，并讨论了造成这一趋势的原因。PART ⅣENGLISHCHINESE TRANSLATION

Part Ⅳ English-Chinese Translation Directions: Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.Your translation must be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(15 points)
In less than 30 years time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality.Direct links between the brains nervous system and a computer will also create full sensory virtual environments,allowing virtual vacations like those in the film Total Recall. (71) There will be television chat shows hosted by robots,and cars with pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend. (72) Children will play with dolls equipped with personality chips,computers with in-built personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools,relaxation will be in front of smelltelevision,and digital age will have arrived.
According to BTs futurologist,Ian Pearson,these are among the developments scheduled for the firsr few decades of the new millennium (a period of 1,000 years),when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all areas of life.(73) Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key breakthroughs and discoveries to take place.Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine,including an extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs coming into use between now and 2040. Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computerhuman links.“By linking directly to our nervous system,computers could pick up what we feel and,hopefully, simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory environments,rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck,”he says.(74) But that,Pearson points out,is only the start of manmachine integration:“It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.”
Through his research,Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted.However,there are still no forecasts for when fasterthanlight travel will be available,or when human cloning will be perfected,or when time travel will be possible.But he does expect social problems as a result of technological advances.A boom in neighborhood surveillance cameras will,for example,cause problems in 2010,while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to distinguish between their human friends and the droids.(75) And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorderkitchen rage.
