Part C

　　Directions:

　　Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation must be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)

　　Our world of the mid-1990s faces potentially bursting change. The question is in what direction will it take us?46)Will the change come from worldwide initiatives that reverse the degradation of the planet and restore hope for the future, or will it come from continuing environmental deterioration that leads to economic decline and social instability?

　　There is no precedent for the rapid substantial change we need to make.47)Building an environmentally sustainable future depends on restructuring the global economy, major shifts in human reproductive behavior, and dramatic changes in values and lifestyles. Doing all this quickly adds up to a revolution that is driven and defined by the need to restore the earth’s environmental systems. If this Environmental Revolution succeeds, it will rank with the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions as one of the great economic and social transformations in human history.

　　Like the Agricultural Revolution, it will dramatically alter population trends.48)While the former set the stage for enormous increases in human numbers, this revolution will succeed only if it stabilizes human population size, reestablishing a balance between people and natural system on which they depend. In contrast to the Industrial Revolution, which was based on a shift to fossil fuels, this new transformation will be based on a shift away from fossil fuels.

　　49)The two earlier revolutions were driven by technological advances—the first by the discovery of farming and the second by the invention of the steam engine, which converted the energy in coal into mechanical power. The Environmental Revolution, while it will obviously need new technologies, will be driven primarily by the restructuring of the global economy so that it does not destroy its natural support system.

　　The pace of the Environmental Revolution needs to be far faster than that of its predecessors. The Agricultural Revolution began some 10,000 years ago, and the Industrial Revolution has been under way for about two centuries. But if the Environmental Revolution is to succeed, it must be compressed into a few decades. Progress in the Agricultural Revolution was measured almost exclusively in the growth in food output that eventually enabled farmers to produce a surplus that could feed city dwellers. Similarly, industrial progress was gained by success in expanding the output of raw materials and manufactured goods.50)The Environmental Revolution will be judged by whether it can shift the world economy into an environmentally sustainable development path, one that leads to greater economic security, healthier lifestyles, and a worldwide improvement in the human condition.

答案与解析：

　　Model Test 5

　　Section Ⅰ Use of English

　　1. ［答案］ \[B\] for

　　［解析］ 名词“reason”之后常接介词for，或连词why。此处应选［B］for。其后的this(指上句内容)是for的宾语。切不可将“this is”误看作从句而选［C］why。

　　2. ［答案］ \[A\] present

　　［解析］ 形容词“present”作“出现／存在的”解时通常置于被修饰语之后，符合此句结构与句意，为当然选项。

　　［B］“现在的；目前的”，在此义上与present同义，但通常置于被修饰语之前；［C］“消逝的”，［D］“显现／露的”，皆不合句意。

　　3. ［答案］ \[C\] in

　　［解析］ “disagreement”后可接多个介词：about, on, over, as to sth.(在／对……问题上的分歧；with(与……的争吵)；between, among(……之间／当中的纷争)；in(在……方面的不同／分歧)。根据搭配与句意，应选［C］。

　　4. ［答案］ \[D\] in addition

　　［解析］ 前两句指出，在多种族社会里，人们对事物有多种不同的看法，有多种思想，有不同的兴趣，有多种不同的信仰。此句进一步说明，在多文化的社会里人们有种多样的世俗兴趣，因而也有较多的宽容。由此判断，此处应为表示进一步说明的插入语，故答案非［D］“此外”莫属。其余三项不合句意逻辑。

　　5. ［答案］ \[C\] tolerance

　　［解析］ 由上题解析可知，［C］“宽容”为此题的正确答案，表示不同文化背景的人们可互相理解，和谐共处。

　　［A］“多样”，［B］“容量”，［D］“忍耐力”，均不合句意需要。

　　6. ［答案］ \[B\] promote

　　［解析］ 据此文开头的主题句判断，这里需要一正面意义的动词，因而［A］“阻挡”和［D］“阻碍”可首先排除。其余两项虽有正面意义，但［B］“促进”更合文意逻辑。
