第题Directions:You are going to read a list of headings and a text about world’s first DNA computers. Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each numbered paragraph (1-5). The first and last paragraphs of the text are not numbered. There is one extra heading which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. （10 points）[A]The ability of DNA to store information[B]Examples for the future use of DNA computers[C]The advantage of DNA computers[D]The research of DNA computers is at the beginning stage[E]The working principle of the microscopic computers[F]The evaluation made by the researching team on DNA computersIsraeli scientists have built a DNA computer so tiny that a trillion of them could fit in a test tube and perform a billion operations per second with 99.8 percent accuracy.1) _______________It is the first programmable autonomous computing machine in which the input, output, software

and hardware are all made of biomolecules. Instead of using fires and formulas to solve a problem, the microscopic computer’s input, output and software are made up of DNA molecules—which store and process encoded information in living organisms.2) _______________Scientists see such DNA computers as future competitors to their more conventional cousins because miniaturization is reaching its limits and DNA has the potential to be much faster than conventional computers. “We have built a nanoscale computer made of biomolecules that is so small you cannot run them one at a time. When a trillion computers run together they are capable of performing a billion operations, \"said Ehud Shapiro,

Professor

of the Weitzman Institute in

Israel.3)

_______________Although too simple to have any immediate applications it could form the basis of a DNA computer in the future that could potentially operate within human cells and act as a monitoring device to detect potentially, disease-causing changes and synthesize drugs to fix them. The model could also form the basis of computers that could be used to screen DNA libraries in parallel without sequencing each molecule, which could speed up the acquisition of knowledge about DNA.4) _______________DNA can hold more information in a cubic centimeter than a trillion CDs. The double helix molecule that contains human genes stores data on four chemical bases—known by the letters A, T, O and G—giving it massive memory capability that

scientists are only just beginning to tap into.\"The living cell contains incredible molecular machines that manipulate information-encoding molecules such as DNA and RNA in ways that are fundamentally very similar to computation,” said Shapiro, the head of the research team that developed the DNA computer. \"Since we don’t know how to effectively modify these machines or create new ones just yet, the trick is to find naturally existing machines that, when combined, can be steered to actually compute, \"he added.5) _______________Writing in the science journal Nature, Shapiro and his team describe their DNA computer the automaton which can answer certain yes or no questions. Data is represented by pairs of molecules on a strand of DNA and two naturally occurring enzymes act as the hardware to read, copy and manipulate the code. When it is all mixed together in the test tube, the software and hardware operate on the input molecule to create the output.DNA computing is a very young branch of science that started less than a decade ago, when Leonard Adleman of the University of Southern California pioneered the field by using DNA in a test tube to solve a mathematical problem.Scientists around the globe are now trying to marry computer technology and biology by using nature’s own design to process information.

40

全文可编辑word文档 页眉与背景水印可删除

D、where, how

【正确答案】B

【答案解析】答案选B。该句是一个强调句，其中还有一个插入语“for the first time in my life ”，强调句的基本形式是“It is (was) …that(who)…”， 先行词是人时可用who代替that，否则一般用that，故排除A、D。又因为regretful 是一个形容词，故应用副词修饰，显然要舍去which而用how。

42

全文可编辑word文档 页眉与背景水印可删除

D、在农业中，机械和科学都不怎么重要。

【正确答案】C

【答案解析】答案选C。本句考查程度副词的翻译。本句的翻译重点是Scarcely less important，scarcely是程度副词，意思是“几乎不，简直没有’’。它本身带有否定的意思。less important意思是 “不如……重要”，而加scarcely之后，双重否定表示肯定，意思是两者是差不多同样重要的，所以应该选C。

B、过去不断给农民带来灾难的不但有旱涝两灾，还有税收。但是现在埃及的农业得到改造，工业也用上了水坝发的电。

C、过去不断给农民带来灾难的旱涝两灾，现在不再发生了。埃及的农业得到了改良，水坝发的电也用在了工业上。

D、过去不断给农民带来灾难的不但有旱涝两灾，还有税收。但是埃及的农业得到了改良，工业也给水坝发电带来了很大的好处。

【正确答案】A

【答案解析】句子中tax of suffering属于比喻，把suffering比作是强加在人们身上的tax，而并非真正的征收税收。根据这一点可以排除B和D项，同时根据句子中的and可以得知前后应该是并列的，也就是说agriculture和industry是并列的，同时翻译的时候也应该是并列的，这样不但符合句法也让句子结构更合理。

More effective strategies are needed to develop urban areas，especially inner cities，which contain some of America’s most rapidly growing concentrations of people with multiple disadvantages and declining opportunities．(1)[Although urban problems have been greatly exacerbated by structural shifts in the economy, Columbia University urban affairs expert Elliot Sclar notes that the most fundamental problems of U.S. cities are not due to natural market forces，but to uniquely American public housing, transportation, and tax policies that have subsidized suburbanization and depopulated cities.] Moreover, the structural changes discussed earlier and the deregulation of financial markets have combined to reduce greatly the availability and increase

the cost of credit to inner cities，thus hastening their deterioration.Harvard sociologist William J．Wilson has demonstrated the catastrophic consequences of the disappearance of work for the lives of inner-city residents．(2)While shared economic growth would clearly help improve the conditions of low-income people everywhere，these would not be sufficient to address the needs of people in depressed inner cities and rural areas-special targeted programs are required for this．In addition，Wilson recommends greater cooperation between suburbs and cities in order to align resources and responsibility better with the scope and severity of problems．Remedial efforts must address particular industries and sectors as well as geographic areas. (3)MIT economist Lester Thurow concludes，for example，that broadly shared prosperity is not likely unless measures are taken to improve productivity greatly in service industries，where over 90％ of all new jobs are being created．He notes that service jobs in other countries require higher skills，are more technology-intensive，and pay higher wages．(4) Health economist Karen Davis cites the ability of better health care-preferably in a comprehensive national system-to improve the economic opportunity as well as the quality of life for low-income Americans．She notes that poor health is an important cause of the low labor force participation of minority males．Some insight into what might be done to improve low-income communities is provided by the impressive results of the

Southwest Industrial Areas Foundation．(5)Its director，Ernesto Cortes，Jr．，stresses the importance of social capital and the extent to which the engagement of community residents is necessary for permanent improvements in education，employment，public facilities，and other activities essential for increasing opportunities for low-income people．

【正确答案】尽管城市问题由于经济结构的变化而加剧，哥伦比亚大学城市事务研究专家Elliot Sclar注意到，美国城市的最基本的问题并非源于自由市场的力量，而应归于美国独特的公众住宅、交通以及补贴郊区开发和人口减少的城市的税收。再者，早先讨论过的结构改变以及开放金融市场等都共同减少了有效性、增加了市内地区信誉的代价，从而加速了这些地区的退化。

【答案解析】本句包含多个从句：although从句为状语从句。第一个that从句为宾语从句，第二个that从句为定语从句。not…but…：不是……而是。

【正确答案】尽管共同经济增长明显会改善低收入人口的条件，但是在满足那些生活在不景气的市中心乡下的人们来说，这还远远不够—这就需要具有特殊目标的计划以解决这个问题。此外，Wilson还竭力主张城郊应该加强合作，以便更有效地共享资源和共同承担与该问题的范围和严重性相应的责任。

【答案解析】while在本句相当于although。be sufficient to：

【正确答案】例如，麻省理工学院的经济学家Lester Thurow推断说，只有采取措施极大增加服务业的生产效率，才能够实现广泛的共同繁荣，这是因为服务业创造了90％的新的就业机会。他注意到，服务性工作在其他国家需要较高的技术、更趋技术密集型，而且薪金更高。

【答案解析】unless：除非。take measures to do sth：采取措施做某事。where over 90％of all new jobs are being created为定语从句，修饰service industries。 【正确答案】健康经济学家Karen Davis引用了更好的健康护理能力—更适合一个宽容的国家—来提高低收入阶层美国人经济机遇和生活质量。她注意到，健康状况不佳是导致少数男性成为低劳动力的一个重要原因。

【答案解析】--preferably in a comprehensive national system--为插入成分。as well as：也，又，翻译时注意要先翻译其后的内容，再翻译其前的内容。

【正确答案】该基金会小Ernesto Cortes强调了社会资本的重要性以及社区居民的参与对于永久改善低收入人群的教育、就业、公共设施和其他增加他们机会的重要活动都是必要的。

C、最后，哈丁斯可能想要的那个东西就是借口。 D、借口好像是哈丁斯想要的最后的东西。

【正确答案】B
