【正文】 ultuous Cultural Revolution was chiefly responsible for the searing desire for change in China . 混亂的文化大革命是引起對(duì)中國(guó)發(fā)生變化的極度渴望的主要原因。 92. Traditional beliefs do not in themselves explain the lingering prevalence of outdated concepts in China . 傳統(tǒng)信仰本身不能解釋過(guò)時(shí)觀念為何仍然在中國(guó)普遍存在。 93. Some lay the blame for falling exports squarely on financial turmoil sweeping many Asian countries . The fact of the matter is , however , that proportionate blame should be assigned to the lackadaisical approach to developing new markets , failure to improve product quality and government inaction in the realm of support . 有的人干脆認(rèn)為造成出口下降的原因是橫掃亞洲許多國(guó)家的金融危機(jī)。然而，事實(shí)是一部分原因應(yīng)歸結(jié)為開(kāi)拓新市場(chǎng)的不得力的方法、改進(jìn)產(chǎn)品質(zhì)量的失敗以及政府沒(méi)有表示支持的行動(dòng)。 94. We often ignore the real problem and instead search for a needle in a haystack . Solving problems of any kind requires one to adopt a direct approach which addresses all relevant issues . 我們經(jīng)常忽略實(shí)際問(wèn)題，而是大海撈針。解決任何類(lèi)型的問(wèn)題都需要一個(gè)人采取直接的辦法處理所有相關(guān)事情。 95. Claiming a lack of opportunities is nothing more than a superficial excuse for justifying failure . The fundamental reason for failure is most often the lack of drive on the part of the individual involved . 聲稱缺少機(jī)會(huì)不過(guò)是敷衍失敗的借口。通常，失敗最根本的原因是相關(guān)的個(gè)人本身缺乏動(dòng)力。 96. We can , and quite often do , blame our contemporaries for personal failures , but the fact of the matter is that the root causes for most problems go much deeper . 我們可以，而且經(jīng)常因個(gè)人的失敗抱怨我們的同時(shí)代人，但是，事實(shí)是許多問(wèn)題的根本原因要深刻得多。 97. The rapidly emerging sexual revolution has been acpanied by many disturbing trends . Perhaps the most serious consequences center on the rapid spread of sexually transmitted diseases ( STDs ) , rising prostitution and the rise in AIDS cases . 伴隨著迅速出現(xiàn)的性革命有很多令人煩惱的趨勢(shì)。最嚴(yán)重的后果可能是性傳染病的迅速蔓延、賣(mài)淫現(xiàn)象及艾滋病患者的增多。 98. The deep impact of opening to the outside world is readily discernible in a number of areas : the adoption of many Western habits , both good and bad 。 changing social and moral values 。 the trend towards individualism 。 and the introduction of stateoftheart concepts and technology . The key to adopting Western way centers on accepting the good and rejecting the bad . 對(duì)外開(kāi)放的深刻影響在許多方面都能看到：模仿西方的習(xí)慣，包括好的和壞的；改變社會(huì)和道德價(jià)值觀；個(gè)人主義的趨勢(shì)；引進(jìn)已發(fā)展的概念和技術(shù)。采取西方方式的關(guān)鍵在于取其精華，去其糟粕。 99. The arrival of the socalled Information Age will undoubtedly have a profound influence on our lives . The task at hand center on using the technology for beneficial purposes , while at the same time preventing intrusions of privacy and use of the electronic highway for deceitful purposes . 所謂“信息時(shí)代”的來(lái)臨無(wú)疑將深刻地影響我們的生活。手頭的任務(wù)主要是利用技術(shù)達(dá)到有意的目的，同時(shí)，防止侵犯隱私或者出于欺騙的目的利用電子高速路。 100. No one can doubt that the reform and opening policies introduced in 1979 have had a profound impact on the lives of Chinese citizens . Changes resulting therefrom have not only impacted the economic system , but the social system as well . 沒(méi)有人能懷疑1979年推出的改革開(kāi)放政策對(duì)中國(guó)公民的生活產(chǎn)生了深刻的影響。由此造成的變化不僅影響了經(jīng)濟(jì)體制，而且影響了社會(huì)體制。 101. Effluent discharges of industrial wastewater and raw sewage into rivers , lakes and inshore coastal areas have not only adversely affected marine life and aquatic resources , but have also jeopardized one of the major necessities for sustaining life—Potable Water . 工業(yè)廢水和原污水排放入河流、湖泊和近海岸區(qū)域不僅給海洋生物和水生資源帶來(lái)了負(fù)面影響，而且也破壞了維持生命的主要必需品之一——飲用水。 102. It will have a direct bearing on the matter under discussion . 這將和正在討論的問(wèn)題有直接關(guān)系。 103. Rapid economic growth may lead to an overextension of resources and lead to an eventual catastrophic meltdown . 經(jīng)濟(jì)迅速增長(zhǎng)可能導(dǎo)致過(guò)度使用資源，并引起最終巨大的災(zāi)難。 104. The immediate results of economic growth have created the illusion of unending prosperity . The best approach at this particular time is to perhaps err on the side of caution . 經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)的直接結(jié)果是造成了關(guān)于無(wú)止境繁榮的幻想。現(xiàn)在這個(gè)特定時(shí)刻最好的辦法也許是慎之又慎。 105. The benefits of technology are undeniable . Nonetheless , the fact that technology often negates the need for human beings in the workplace deserves careful consideration and retraining programs for affected individuals must be introduced . 技術(shù)的好處不容否認(rèn)。然而，技術(shù)經(jīng)常否認(rèn)工作場(chǎng)所需要人類(lèi)，這一點(diǎn)值得仔細(xì)考慮，而且，為受到影響的個(gè)人推出再培訓(xùn)項(xiàng)目是必需的。 106. The lack of faith in government is the direct result of the prevailing distrust of politicians . 對(duì)政府缺乏信心是普遍存在的對(duì)政府官員的不信任直接造成的。 107. The advantages of harmonious relations far outweigh the disadvantages of confrontation . 和諧關(guān)系的好處遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)大于沖突的壞處。 108. Independence offers many advantages , the first and foremost of which is selfdetermination . 獨(dú)立帶來(lái)很多好處，首先也是最重要的是自決。 109. The contrast between right and wrong is highlighted by the benefits accruing from the former . 由于正確而得到的好處更加強(qiáng)調(diào)了正誤的對(duì)比。 110. The most striking conclusion that can be reached when weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the market economy is quite frankly prosperity . 很坦率地說(shuō)，在權(quán)衡市場(chǎng)經(jīng)濟(jì)的利弊時(shí)能得出的最顯著的結(jié)論是繁榮。 111. The ridiculous amount of money some countries spend on military hardware is absurd when considering the number of people starving in many developing countries . 考慮到一些發(fā)展中國(guó)家挨餓的人的數(shù)量，一些國(guó)家把大量資金花費(fèi)在重型軍事裝備上顯得很荒謬。 112. The loss of perquisites enjoyed by government officials and business executives pales in parison to the plight of refugees in many wartorn countries . 與許多飽受戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)創(chuàng)傷的國(guó)家的難民所處的困境相比，政府官員和商業(yè)管理者失去所享受的特權(quán)就相形見(jiàn)絀了。 113. While the longterm problem of global warming is indeed serious , its significance diminishes somewhat when considering immediate problems such as rapid environmental deterioration and the rampant misuse and abuse of nonrenewable resources . 雖然全球變暖這一長(zhǎng)期的問(wèn)題確實(shí)很?chē)?yán)重，但考慮到諸如環(huán)境的迅速惡化和不可更新資源的普遍濫用等當(dāng)前的問(wèn)題，它的重要性就有所降低了。 114. Owning a car might be preferable to owning a bicycle , but the problems associated with owning the former far outweigh those of the latter . For one thing , automobiles are exponentially more expensive and require greater maintenance . For another , bicycles don39。t pollute . 與擁有一輛自行車(chē)相比，人們更愿意擁有一輛汽車(chē)，但擁有后者涉及的問(wèn)題遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)前者。原因之一，汽車(chē)昂貴很多，需要更多的維護(hù)。原因之二，自行車(chē)不會(huì)引起污染。 115. The advantages of family planning more than pensate for the disadvantages . 計(jì)劃生育的好處不僅僅彌補(bǔ)了它的害處。 116. Claims of gender equality are laced with contradictions . The principal fallacy centers on the workplace and concept of equal pay for equal work
