20、.00)Fishing adds only about one percent to the global economy, but on a regional basis it can contribute extremely to human survival. Marine fisheries contribute more to the worlds supply of protein than beef, poultry or any other animal source. Fishing typically does not need land ownership, and be
21、cause it remains, generally, open to all, it is often the employer of last resort in the developing worldan occupation when there are no other choices. Worldwide, about 200 million people rely on fishing for their livelihoods. Within Southeast Asia alone, over five million people fish full-time. In
22、northern Chile forty percent of the population lives off the ocean. In Newfoundland most employment came from fishing or servicing that industry until the collapse of the cod fisheries in the early 1990s left tens of thousands of people out of work. Though debates over the conservation of natural re
23、sources are often cast as a conflict between jobs and the environment, the restoration of fish populations would in fact boost employment. Michael P. Sissenwine and Andrew A. Rosenberg of the U. S. National Marine Fisheries Service have estimated that if depleted species were allowed to rebuild to t
24、heir long-term potential, their sustainable use would add about 8 billion to the U. S. gross domestic product and provide about 300 000 jobs. If fish populations were restored and properly managed, about twenty million metric tons could be added to the worlds annual catch. But restoration of ecologi
25、cal balance, fiscal profitability and economic security will require a continual reduction in the capacity of the commercial fishing industry so that wild populations can recover. The necessary reductions in fishing workforce need not come at the expense of jobs. Governments could increase employmen
26、t and reduce the pressure on fish populations by guiding subsidies away from highly mechanised ships. For each 1 million of investment, industrial-scale fishing operations require only one to five people, while small-scale fisheries would employ between 60 and 3 000. Industrial fishing itself threat

31、 in Brussels, they have a joke about the work interpreters do “Languages“, they say,“ have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them. “Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far mor
32、e than mere linguistic ability. To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or interpreters associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accrediting org
33、anizations own school, or on a postgraduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job. At Londons University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreter s course if they can show that they have“ lived a bit“, in the words of one l
34、ecture. Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life. The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of
35、current affairs. This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament on Monday, international fishing rights on Tuesday, multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry on Thursday. Interpreters also rely on ad
36、renaline (肾上腺素) which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job to keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit that they enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and it s known that their heart rates speed up while they are working. Its also a job with its own ri

Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centres of international diplomacy, like the UN. （分数：1.00）(1).What does“ have lived a bit“ mean?（分数：0.20）A.To be older than others.B.To travel to more countries.C.To have abundant life experience.D.To have longer training in inte

41、funnyB.intrepidC.dangerous sometimesD.excitingPerhaps it was his own lack of adequate schooling that inspired Horace Mann to work so hard to accomplish the important reforms in education. While he was still a boy, his father died, and he had to support his family. Like most of the children in his to
42、wn, he attended school two or three months a year. Later, with the help of several teachers, he was able to study law and become a member of the Massachusetts bar, but he never forgot those early struggles. While serving in the Massachusetts legislature, he signed a historic education bill that set
43、up a state board of education. Without regret, he gave up his successful legal practice to become the first secretary of the board. There he exercised an enormous influence during the critical period of reconstruction that brought into existence the American graded elementary school as a substitute
44、for the older district school system. Under his leadership, the curriculum was restructured, the school year was increased to a minimum of six months, and mandatory schooling was extended to age sixteen. Other important reforms that came into existence under Manns guidance included the establishment
45、 of state normal schools for teacher training. Considered quite radical at the time, the Massachusetts reforms later served as a model for the nations educational system. Mann was formally recognized as the father of public education. During his lifetime, Horace Mann worked tirelessly to extend educ
46、ational opportunities to agrarian families and the children of poor laborers. In one of his last speeches he summed up his philosophy of education and life: “ Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. “ （分数：1.00）(1).Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?（分
