12、this year. After three years of surveys with sensitive magnetometers, he knows, at least, where to look: at a cluster of magnetic abnormalities, three beneath the beach and one beneath the surf, near the mouth of the Heuningries River, where the 450-ton slave ship, the Meermin, ran aground in 1766.
13、If he is right, it will be a find for the history books especially if he recovers shackles, spears and iron guns that shed light on how 147 Malagasy slaves seized their captors vessel, only to be recaptured.

If he is wrong, Boshoff said in an interview, “I will have a lot of explaining to do.“ He will, however, have an excuse.

31、爆米花的时候，它们的形象出现在银幕上，它们缓步走来，短粗的双腿支撑着笔直的身子，肩膀随着步子前后摆动。接着就听见摩根.弗里曼的声音，告诉我们说，这些生物正在地球上一个最荒凉的地方，进行着一次漫长而艰苦的旅行，而驱使它们这样做的正是它们“对爱的追寻”。 我早就听说过帝企鹅的故事。然而，在企鹅的旅程里看到它们那优美奇妙的形象时，我还是惊叹不已。这部电影是今年夏季爆出的冷门，轰动一时。电影演下去，有关企鹅的一切表面上看和人类生活显得截然不同，然而与此同时，你越仔细看就越觉得一切又似乎很熟悉。 纵观生命之树上繁衍的数百万种生物草、树、绦虫、大黄蜂、水母、金枪鱼、大象就会发现这些在银幕上走过的动物确实可
32、以算是我们的近亲了。 爱是一种感情，一种冲动。它与仇恨、忌妒、饥渴一样，在光靠理性不可能成功时，是必要的。 企鹅在冰上行走 70英里，前去交配，然后在脚趾上孵卵，在此期间，它们四个月不进食，周围一片漆黑，还要经受零下 80华氏度的严寒。这一切光凭理性能做得到吗？ 即使是人类，也需要有一种强烈的爱，才使得做父母的能为自己的子女做出那些了不起的事。企鹅在那样恶劣的环境里坚持那种近乎古怪的作法，说明它们的爱也到了异乎寻常的程度。 我估计这种新型的关于自然界的影片会日益成为主打影片，因为我们能通过了解别的动物增加对我们自己的了解，并懂得我们与它们比原来料想得更为相像，而且现在我们承认与它们有关，所以才
33、会产生情感认同。 如果我们能看到更多的真实情况，如果制片人和制片厂将为了表现我们自己所花的心思和经费的一半用来表现各种动物，我估计，其丰厚的回报，无论是在经济方面，还是在感情和知识方面，都不会亚于影片企鹅的旅程。)解析：4.After years of painstaking research and sophisticated surveys, Jaco Boshoff may be on the verge of a nearly unheard-of discovery: the wreck of a Dutch slave ship that broke apart 239 years

40、ing evidence of both the brutality and the lucrative nature of the slave trade.（分数：2.00）_正确答案：(正确答案： 多年的潜心研究和详尽调查也许即将会给雅戈.博肖夫带来一个世人几乎前所未闻的发现：一艘荷兰贩奴船的残骸。在 239年前，在这一带风险浪急的恶劣海岸，这条船在经历了一场激烈的奴隶暴动后，断裂沉没。 博肖夫，现年 39岁，海洋考古学家，在政府经营的伊泽科博物馆任职。他准备今年晚些时候在非洲最南端这一带荒凉的海滩开始发掘，在此之前不会有任何结果。 利用灵敏的地磁测量仪，经过三年努力，他弄清楚了该从哪儿着
41、手几处地磁异常现象集中的地方：三处在沙滩下面，一处在浪线以下，地点靠近霍宁格里斯河口，这就是 450吨的贩奴船米尔明号1766 年搁浅的地方。 如果他成功了，这一发现将载入史册。如果他找到镣铐、梭标和铁炮，从中可推断出那 147名来自马尔加什的奴隶怎样夺取人贩子的船，后来又被制服的经过，那就更要大书特书了。虽然欧洲国家在 400年中从非洲贩运了数百万奴隶，考古学家估计，全世界迄今找到的贩奴船残骸不到 10艘。如果他不成功，博肖夫在接受采访时说，“我就要作大量的解释工作。” 不过他还可以有另一个理由。据历史记载，在斯特鲁斯湾附近的险恶海域至少曾有三十艘船搁浅，最早的一宗发生在 1673年。虽然博
42、肖夫说他毫不怀疑这片海滩里埋着一条船的残骸，残骸那散乱的木头有时会在九月涌潮的冲刷下显露出来，不过另一种可能总是存在的：他经调查所发现的是另外一条船。 “寻找船只的残骸本来就是件非常困难的事，”马德林.伯恩赛德说。伯恩赛德是美国佛罗里达州基韦斯特市梅尔.费希尔海事遗产学会执行会长，著有海上孤魂，这是一部有关贩奴的书。他还说：“船只的残骸，虽不尽然，往往都是偶然发现的。” 其它贩奴船的发现令人信服地证明当年贩卖奴隶是多么残酷，利润又是多么丰厚。)解析：二、Chinese-English Tran(总题数：4，分数：8.00)5.PART 2 Chinese-English Translation
