4、 signal. You may take notes while you are listening. You will hear the passages only ONCE. Now lets begin.(分数:2.00)_解析:_正确答案:(正确答案: 如果你认为多媒体只是可以在家中单独享用的东西,你应该再想一想。银行处在“信息高速公路”的前沿,因为它们对这种技术比任何其他类型的民用企业投资更多。 以资产在美国银行中排列第四的摩根公司为例。它开发了一种系统,借助一支电子笔就能在计算机屏幕上快速完成交易和文件。公司在伦敦的证券分析员以及在东京的交易商可以通过同一屏幕进行交谈。建立客户信
5、用、成交都比通过电话线路要快,何况电话还无法传送图像。 这种电子新玩意儿,目前正被引入到摩根公司在纽约的交易所采用,最终会在包括亚洲在内的全球范围内使用。这样一来,就可以在吉隆坡和曼谷等首都建立较经济的小型交易室,而把摩根公司开销大的事务部门集中在新加坡。 摩根公司开拓性的举措表明,美国银行正在利用高科技和大量资金来打开亚洲市场。 欧洲和日本的竞争对手们也在这么干,但它们不像美国银行那样,能够得到大量的储蓄资金。例如,美国养老基金资产总计达四万四千亿美元,是日本的三倍多。 美国机构在亚洲日益增长的资金需求和世界其他地区可提供的资金之间充当桥梁最为合适。当然,这座桥梁也可能摇晃,就像二十世纪八十
6、年代拉美债务危机发生时那样,但在二十世纪九十年代亚洲经济基本条件如此良好的情况下,难以想象这种类似事情还会发生。 美国银行花了近十年的时间才从拉丁美洲的窘境中逃脱出来,但它们现在已经成为强大的竞争者。它们处理了坏账,削减员工,做得比日本同行们更大胆。日本银行因无法从挥金如土的房地产投机商那儿收回贷款而陷入了困境。 美国商业银行在亚洲跨境业务中最棘手的竞争对手很可能不是日本人,而是它们本国投资银行的同胞。亚洲的资本市场,像其他地方一样,将成为他们争夺的战场。 美国最大的五家银行花旗银行、美洲银行、美华银行、摩根银行、大同银行,其优势在于庞大。与所罗门兄弟公司和高盛公司这样的企业相比,五大银行在许
7、多方面确确实实要比他们大:他们拥有更多的资本,更庞大的员工队伍,在世界上有更多的分行,并可以通过这些分行销售公司证券。 拭目以待的是它们是否有很强的交易能力来与投资银行竞争。)解析:解析: 本文是一段有关美国银行在亚洲拓展金融业务的讲话。文中主要以摩根公司为例,讲述了美国银行利用高科技、大量资本和庞大的员工队伍与亚洲对手,主要是日本,展开竞争,开拓亚洲市场。 本文要求应试者了解世界银行业的发展,掌握一定的银行业专门词汇和表达方式,这有赖于应试者平时的知识积累,是翻译的基本要求。此外,应试者还需要在短时间内,对长难句进行正确的理解、分析、简化或切分,把握好两种语言各自特色,完成双语间的转换;对于
8、一些较为生僻的短语和表达法,不能死译、硬译,而应该充分联系上下文灵活变通,使译文通顺流畅。_正确答案:(正确答案: 地球大气层正在转暖,这种迹象日趋明显,这向人们提出了一个重大问题,即地球变暖在多大程度上应归咎于人类活动,又在多大程度上是自然原因造成的?气候变化科学家们正在寻求答案。经过对全球气候变化的全方位定期科学评估,科学家们断定全球气候受到了“显而易见的人为影响”。 虽然准确评价人类对气候的影响程度尚有待时日,人类活动可能是近几十年来全球变暖的主要因素。人为因素在发生作用,这种人为作用主要来自二氧化碳等工业废气,这些废气将热量阻挡在大气层内,此外还有从工业烟囱中排出的硫酸盐悬浮微粒。 气
9、候变化会不会导致地球的最终毁灭呢?我们没有确切的答案,至少就我们目前所了解的情况来看,可能性不大。 大约两亿五千万年前,地球曾经经历过一次灾难性的大毁灭。在几千年的时间里,可怕的事情降临到了我们的星球,地球上 90的海洋物种以及大约70的陆地物种被完全消灭。 这是地球历史上最严重的毁灭,被称之为“生物大灭绝”。整个珊瑚礁群落、森林、巨型两栖动物及凶猛的爬行动物,大批的昆虫、遍布海洋中的三叶虫,那种从此再也没有在地球上出现过的硬甲壳无脊椎动物,都在这次大毁灭中被尽数消灭。 是什么导致了这次灭绝?人们提出了许多假想,诸如地球附近星球爆炸、冰期严寒以及温室效应等,但是任何一个假想都不能完全使人信服。
10、 我们倾向接受这样一种最新结论:大毁灭归咎于一个小行星或彗星或流星对地球的撞击,其情形与 6500万年前所发生的、可能致使恐龙灭绝的那次毁灭一样。无论是哪种情况,破坏都不是来自于爆炸性的碰撞本身,而是来自于它所引起的一系列全球性的灾难,例如猛烈的火山喷发、大气的急剧升温以及海洋中维持生命的氧气的枯竭。 我们无法说出这颗星撞击地球的确切地点,因为地球板块在其长期对地表作用过程中已经毁损了大部分的证据。但是我们能够估计出地球表面撞击点的大小,其直径可能为曼哈顿岛的一半,并以 12 级地震的力量撞击地球。 当然,我们决不能低估人类不良活动给地球的气候变化造成的破坏。我们必须意识到,人类的生活远远超出
11、了地球所能承受的能力。目前我们所做的一切几乎都会危及到人类未来的生存质量。 生活应该是令人愉快的。而我们破坏性的生活方式造成了严重的后果:人类的新疾病、植物和动物的怪病、怪异的自然灾害、食物短缺等等。我们必须立即采取行动,将我们的生活方式引向健康的、可持续性发展的方向。)解析:解析: 本文是一段有关气候变化的讲话。文中主要介绍了地球大气层变暖以及由此产生的全球气候变化。本文力图从历史的角度探讨全球气候变化的原因,诸如星球爆炸、冰期严寒、温室效应等,同时也关注人类活动对全球气候的影响。 本文要求应试者掌握一定的地理学常识,尤其是对气候变化有一定的了解,熟悉相关的专有词汇和表达方式,这依赖于应试者

The history of human development shows that development at the expense of resources and the environment would end up with punishment of mankind and impediment to development. For the sake of a better
22、world and our future generations, we should choose a road to development driven by science and technology, that is economically viable, resource-conserving and environmentally friendly. We should encourage sustainable production, livelihood and consumption to build a resource-conserving economy and
23、society. We should formulate plans for economic and social development based on the sustainability of nature while endeavoring to protect the ecological environment by prohibiting activities to plunder and destroy nature. Third, working to establish a just, equitable new international economic order
24、. It is necessary to strengthen multilateral and bilateral cooperation in trade and promote regional economic cooperation. We will work for progress in the Doha round of trade negotiations and attain its objective as a “ round for development“. North-South dialogue should be promoted on the basis of

Diversity should be respected, and democracy in international relations and diverse development models upheld, so that all countries, developing countries in particular, can benefit from economic globalization. To cr

Fourth, taking the initiative to help developing countries speed up their development. It is the responsibility of the international community and the requirement of sustained deve

Developing countries shoulder the primary responsibility in this regard. However, developed countries should earnestly fulfil their obligations, reduce and exempt
