Never mind the tsunami devastation in Asia last December, the

The number of leisure travelers visiting tourist destinations hit by trouble has in some cases bounced back to a level higher than before disaster struck. “This new fas

4、r statistics for the disasters of the past 12 months, but travel industry experts say that the broad trends are already clear. Leisure travel is expected to increase by nearly 5 percent this year, according to the World Tourism and Travel Council. “Tourism and travel now seem to bounce back faster a
5、nd higher each time there is an event of this sort,“ said Ufi lbrahim, vice president of the London-based World Tourism and Travel Council. For London, where suicide bombers killed 56 and wounded 700 on July 8, she said, “It was almost as if people who stayed away after the bomb attack then decided
6、to come back twice.“ Early indicators show that the same holds true for other disaster-struck destinations. Statistics compiled by the Pacific Asia Travel Association, for example, show that monthly visitor arrivals in Sri Lanka, where the Dec. 26, 2004, tsunami left more than 30,000 people dead or
7、missing, were higher than one year earlier for every month from March through August of this year. A case commonly cited by travel professionals as an early example of the trend is Bali, where 202 people were killed in bombings targeting Western tourists in October 2002. Visitor arrivals plunged to
8、993,000 for the year after the bombing, but bounced back to 1.46 million in 2004, a level higher than the two years before the bomb, according to the Pacific Asia Travel Association. Even among Australians, who suffered the worst casualties in the Bali bombings, the number of Bali-bound visitors bou
9、nced back within two years to the highest level since 1998, according to the Pacific Asia Travel Association. Bali was hit again this year by suicide bombers who killed 19 people in explosions at three restaurants. Visits are also on the upswing to post-tsunami Thailand, where the giant waves killed
10、 5,400 and left more than 5,000 missing. Although the tsunami killed more than 500 Swedes on the Thai resort island of Phuket, the largest number of any foreign nationality to die, Swedes are returning to the island in larger numbers than last year, according to My Travel Sweden, a Stockholm-based g
11、roup that sends 600,000 tourists overseas annually and claims a 28 percent market share for Sweden. “We were confident that Thailand would eventually bounce back as a destination, but we didn“t think that this year it would come back even stronger than last year,“ said Joakim Eriksson, director of c
12、ommunication for My Travel Sweden. “We were very surprised because we really expected a significant decline.“ Eriksson said My Travel now expects a 5 percent increase in visitors to both Thailand and Sri Lanka this season compared with the same season last year. This behavior is a sharp change from
13、the patterns of the 1990s, Eriksson said. “During the first Gulf war we saw a sharp drop in travel as a whole, and the same after Sept. 11,“ Eriksson said. “Now the main impact of terrorism or disasters is a change in destination.“ (分数:30.00)_三、Part B Choice of Two(总题数:0,分数:0.00)四、Topic 1(总题数:1,分数:3

In Bykovsky, a village of 457 on Russia“s northeast coast, the shoreline is collapsing, creeping closer and closer to houses and tanks of heating oil, at a rate of 15 to 18 feet a yea
15、r. “It is practically all icepermafrostand it is thawing.“ For the four million people who live north of the Arctic Circle, a changing climate presents new opportunities. But it also threatens their environment, their homes and, for those whose traditions rely on the ice-bound wilderness, the preser
16、vation of their culture. Coastal erosion is a problem in Alaska as well, forcing the United States to prepare to relocate several Inuit villages at a projected cost of $100 million or more for each one. Across the Arctic, indigenous tribes with traditions shaped by centuries of living in extremes of
17、 cold and ice are noticing changes in weather and wildlife. They are trying to adapt, but it can be confounding. In Finnmark, Norway“s northernmost province, the Arctic landscape unfolds in late winter as an endless snowy plateau, silent but for the cries of the reindeer and the occasional whine of
18、a snowmobile herding them. A changing Arctic is felt there, too. “The reindeer are becoming unhappy,“ said Issat Eira, a 31-year-old reindeer herder. Few countries rival Norway when it comes to protecting the environment and preserving indigenous customs. The state has lavished its oil wealth on the
19、 region, and Sami culture has enjoyed something of a renaissance. And yet no amount of government support can convince Mr. Eira that his livelihood, intractably entwined with the reindeer, is not about to change. Like a Texas cattleman, he keeps the size of his herd secret. But he said warmer temper
20、atures in fall and spring were melting the top layers of snow, which then refreeze as ice, making it harder for his reindeer to dig through to the lichen they eat. “The people who are making the decisions, they are living in the south and they are living in towns,“ said Mr. Eira, sitting inside his
21、home made of reindeer hides. “They don“t mark the change of weather. It is only people who live in nature and get resources from nature who mark it.“ A push to develop the North, quickened by the melting of the Arctic seas, carries its own rewards and dangers for people in the region. The discovery
22、of vast petroleum fields in the Barents and Kara Seas has raised fears of catastrophic accidents as ships loaded with oil and, soon, liquefied gas churn through the fisheries off Scandinavia, headed to markets in Europe and North America. Land that was untouched could be tainted by pollution as gene

Large in both physical stature and reputation, Guido Rossi, who took over as Telecom Italia“s chairman on September 15th following the
24、surprise resignation of Marco Tronchetti Provera, has stood out from the Italian business crowd for more than three decades. Mr. Rossi, who attended Harvard law school in the 1950s and wrote a book on American bankruptcy law, made his name as a corporate lawyer keen on market rules and their enforce
25、ment. He has since worked in both private and public sectors, including stints in the Italian Senate and as one of the European Commission“s group of company-law experts. As well as running a busy legal practice, he also has a reputation as a corporate troubleshooter and all-round Mr Fix-It, and is
26、often called upon to clean up organisations in crisis. His role at Telecom Italia marks a return to the company he headed for ten months in 1997, during its politically tricky and legally complex privatisation. Before that, Mr Rossi had been sent in to sort out Ferruzzi-Montedison, an agri-business
27、and chemicals group, which had collapsed after magistrates uncovered tangentopoli (“bribesville“). Last year his legal scheming was crucial in ABN Amro“s victorious bid for Banca Antonveneta. Most recently, he acted as special commissioner at Italy“s football association, where he was drafted in to
28、sort out the mess after a massive match-rigging scandal exploded earlier this year. Alas, his efforts to bleach football“s dark stains produced the same meagre results as his other efforts to get Italian business and finance to change its ways. “Like Italians when tangentopoli burst, fans wanted jus
29、tice when the scandal broke; but enthusiasm for legality quickly waned,“ sighs Francesco Saverio Borrelli, Milan“s former chief prosecutor, who headed the city“s assault on corruption during the 1990s and was appointed by Mr Rossi to dig out football“s dirt. The political muscle of the clubs prevent
30、ed tough measures being taken against them, reflecting Italy“s two-tier justice system in which the rich and powerful can do what they like. “Economic interests in football far outweigh sporting interests,“ remarks Mr Borrelli. The rottenness in football shocked even the unshakeable Mr Rossi. “Footb
31、all did not want rules, it just wanted me to solve its problems,“ he says. Despairing of being able to change much, he resigned in September and turned his attention to Telecom Italia.

32、了有史以来较为稳定的和平发展时期。这就是一个最重要的新机会。 在亚洲各国政府和人民的共同努力下,亚洲的发展正呈现出前所未有的良好态势,突出表现在:亚洲巨大的市场潜能逐步得到开发,亚洲各国和地区经济结构调整的成效显著,产业优化升级继续加快,经济持续快速发展,亚洲已成为全球经济最具活力的地区之一。“我们说,要把握亚洲寻求共赢的新机会,这又是一个新机会。” 亚洲和平、稳定、发展的整体氛围,促进了亚洲区域合作进程的快速发展,一个平等、多元、开放、互利的地区合作新局面正在逐步形成。特别是以东亚、东盟、中亚、南盟、亚洲合作对话以及多双边自由贸易安排为标志,各种形式的区域、次区域经济合作蓬勃发展。这同样也是
33、一个新机会。 这些积极而重大的变化,既为推动亚洲区域合作提供了有利条件,也为亚洲各国和地区的发展带来了历史性机遇。只要我们继续相互尊重、平等对待,把握发展的机会,把握住自己的命运,就一定能够促进亚洲的发展与振兴,达致互利共赢的目标。 (分数:20.00)_5.国际经验与中国特色中国作为后发现代化国家,极其需要借鉴国际经验。同时,在和平崛起进程中,中国又要以自己为主,来关注和解决自己的问题。这就是说,中国的现代化一定要有中国特色。 比如,在农业问题上,中国将努力走出一条新的节约型道路,即有中国特色的节约方式。现在美国人均年消费石油 25 桶,而中国人均消费不到 1 桶半。如果中国人不顾自己的条件
34、,异想天开想做起“美国梦”,那我们对能源急切需求就会给自己,同时也会给人类带来沉重的负担和无尽的麻烦。 又比如,在农村富余劳动力的转移上,我们将逐步走出一条中国特色的城市化道路。目前,中国农村劳动力有 5 亿多人,今后 20 年大约有 2 亿人要转移出来,在这个问题上,中国人不能做“欧洲梦”。欧洲在近代历史上,总共有 6000 多万人走到世界各地,到处建立殖民地,改变了世界版图。21 世纪上半叶的中国人,只能在自己的国土上,通过城市和农村的精心协调发展,通过引导农村富余劳动力在不丧失土地的条件下,在城乡之间有序流动,来解决这个世界级的大难题。 (分数:20.00)_翻译二级笔译实务 2006
