1、英语翻译基础（英汉互译）模拟试卷 32 及答案与解析汉译英1 科学家与环保人士担心全球变暖的问题。使用化石燃料(如石油、煤)或大面积砍伐森林，是地球大气“ 温室气体 ”不断增加的两大因素。这些气体所吸收的热能越来越多，最终将改变天气型态、造成海平面与海洋温度的上升，以及形成有害于植物、野生动物和人类栖息地的气候反常。虽然科学界对全球变暖的影响程度尚有歧见，但若人类对温室效应造成的危险置之不理，无异于玩火自焚。为避免温室效应加剧，从个人角度来看我们可以做的就是降低对化石燃料的依赖、减少用电，并采取最不耗损自然资源的生活方式。在政府这个层面，世界大部份的工业化国家，已在一九九七年所签定的京都议定书
2、中，宣誓将做到气体排放减量。2 城市中的绿洲走在人声鼎沸、高楼耸立的城市里，大楼帷幕玻璃在阳光里闪闪发亮。这些巨大的建筑物曾经是进步与繁荣的象征，不过在环保人士的眼里可不是如此。建筑物的玻璃窗会吸收大量的能量，进而增加室内的温度，也带来了高额的电费。随着世界各国对节约能源投以越来越多的关注，建筑师也渐渐地将环保理念融人设计中。广泛使用集热的太阳能板，也被视为“绿色建筑” 的下一拨大事。太阳能板可收集太阳生成的热能，以提供灯具或其他家用电器的电力。在大家对化石燃料是否有耗尽的一天仍然争论不休之际，风力和热力也被认为是很好的替代能源。3 尾气污染近年来，中国汽车保有量年平均增长达 15左右。汽车总
3、量剧增，大量排放有害气体，成为危害国人身心健康的“无形杀手” 。据统计，在全国总死亡人数中，呼吸系统疾病占 2264，居死亡人数第一位，这与大气的污染有直接关系。专家分析，城市大气污染 70以上来自汽车尾气排放。北京大气中 74的碳氢化合物、63的一氧化碳和 37的氮氧化物均来自汽车尾气。专家还指出，中国汽车尾气污染的根本源头是现代汽车工业技术水平低下，新车质量不高，能源消耗高。中国汽车设计与制造技术水平大多尚停留在国际 60 年代水平。大多数汽车装配 492 型发动机，整体性能差，电子喷射技术差，汽油燃烧不充分，机内净化问题没有解决好，没有严格的新车尾气排放标准。汽车尾气污染城市环境问题已引
4、起国家有关部门及民众的高度重视，一些治理措施正在逐步有效地展开。国务院规定，中国将在 2000 年完全禁止生产、销售和使用含铅汽油。4 现在，我们正迈人一个新的世纪，展现在我们面前的将是更大的进步。科学家们正在着手建立新的基因数据库，研究超容量的计算机及其他一些工具，他们正在揭开有关我们的肌体是如何运转的、我们的大脑是如何储存一生的记忆等方面的奥秘。如果我是一个期望在这个新世纪做出贡献的年轻人，我将首先关注生物学。它是一个充满无数重大的、迷人的问题并需要冒险精神的竞技场。当然，与所有科学一样，它也是一个包容了整个世界而不是任何一个国家的竞技场。拥有骄人科学历史的中国，已经造就出了一批最优秀的研
5、究者，但还有更多的潜能有待开发。世界期待着中国的年轻人用他们的智慧和热情来推进科学的发展，并为我们大家把这个星球建设成更健康更美好的地方。5 中国航空业最近，中国发射的国产新一代火箭“长征三号” ，将一颗美国制造的通信卫星送上轨道。这标志着中国在国际市场的竞争中又一次取得了成功。这颗新卫星，为亚太通信卫星有限公司所拥有。它已于 8 月 1 日投入商业运行。有 7 家中国的电视台租用。这颗通信卫星的制造商美国休斯公司在中国的的通信卫星市场上占有大多数份额。休斯公司还将与中国合作，为亚太通信卫星有限公司再发射一颗卫星。在经历了 1996 年的两度发射失败之后，中国的商业卫星发射已取得了显著的进步，
