Part IV Translation (20 points) Section A Put the following into Chinese on your Answer sheet. The human species is the oute of a continuous, natural process of evolution, involving an infinite number of transformation。Part II Cloze (10 points) Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the one that best fits in to the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter with a single line through the center. Scientists searching for precious metals have turned to the ocean floor, where natural chimneys are spewing out (地面天然裂口不斷噴出 ) a metalenriched black dust containing particles of gold, silver and zinc. Scientists 16 A these hot springs are recreating the process which, billions of years ago, created 17 C metal deposits now found on land. The discovery is giving geologists a 18B D into the earth’s early history and fueling some new theories on origin of life. It also has huge implications for 19 B panies. Geologists are just beginning to understand how these chimneys, 20CA , clusters of sulfur and minerals (硫和其它礦物的聚集物 ), are formed, and what makes them spew out the mineralized dust. At present it is not mercially 21A D for mining panies to operate beneath the sea, although some scientists believe the “black smokers”, 22B A known as active mineralizing systems, will be a major and renewable source of metals in the next decade. 23A C the meantime, mining panies are using the oceanfloor research to locate similar deposits on land. “The hottest thing in the mining research game right now is the 24 B within the past few years of mineral deposits currently forming in front of our eyes on the ocean floor”, said Dr. Joseph Fox, a Montreal geologist. Canada has mined some of the richest copper, zinc and gold 25 B in the world. In the past year, mining panies have used knowledge about where mineral formations 26AC on the ocean floor to find the deposits on land. Geologists are excited because, 27 A metal deposits on land, which are tow or three billion years old, the undersea deposits keep 28B themselves. “It’s really incredible to think that that we have a renewable metal resource 29D we’ve been taught to think of metal resources as nonrenewable”, Fox said. The 30foothigh (10metre) chimneys or vents, 30 A C in 1979,are found along fractures in the ocean’s crust. Scientists believe the deposits form when cold seawater seeps into the fractures, leaching metals 31B it is drawn down. As the water travels in the direction of the earth’s core, it 32D up. Eventually, the hot water rises, carrying with it the hot metal sulfide 33 B C the ocean floor. When the hot sulfide meets the cold sea water, a thick black smokelike substance is formed, spewing out vents in builtup deposits of 34 A . The particles in the smoke eventually 35D on the ocean floor, forming vast solid sheets of metal sulfide. 16. A. Believe B. Thought C. uncover D. found 17. A. smooth B. tiny C. vast D. rust 18.

Choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1 No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance. Uniforms are demanding to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society. Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of a whole. The individual in a uniform loses all selfworth. There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a larger, more important concept. What
