三、英译汉（每小题25分，共50分）

  

 1. Oxfo rd

      When language learners arrive in Oxfo rd, many ask where the university is, thinking that they will be shown just one building. It's up to their teachers to explain that Oxfo rd University is made up of a collection of many different colleges a n d  institutions, each with its own histo ry a n d  characteristics.

       There are many other surprises that learners discover about the city a n d  its university. Katie Jennings is a social o rganizer at King's St Joseph's Hall in East Oxfo rd, a n d  it is her job to o rganize activities fo r learners outside of lesson time. She says many learners are surprised to discover that Oxfo rd is a home to a wide variety of nationalities a n d  ethnic groups, a n d  one of the most popular social events is a night out at one of the town's Latin American dance clubs. After a day spent learning English a n d  abso rbing the ancient atmosphere of the university, learners can samba the night away.

       The city also has a thriving Asian community, a n d  the sight of women in saris is as common in Oxfo rd's streets as academics in gowns a n d  mo rtarboards. There is also a mouth-watering selection of Asian restaurants serving curries, as well as shops stocked with exotic vegetables a n d  fruits.

       The city has attracted such a diverse population not only because of the university, but also because it is an impo rtant industrial center which is known fo r car manufacturing among other things. In spite of large industrial areas, the old of the city center has remained surprisingly intact.

       Carmel Engin, who teaches at the Lake School, says many learners are surprised to find that the city is free from the usual high-rise modem buildings. "From the center of Oxfo rd, you can see green hills in the distance, a n d  this will make learners deeply feel that they are in a small, friendly town, but not just another modern metropolis.

       Some learners will be tempted to explo re those green hills—Oxfo rd is surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside in southern Engla n d —but, as Engin admits, with so much to do a n d  see in the city, few learners find the time to explo re its surroundings.

       Oxfo rd has developed some imaginative initiatives fo r language learners. One is a local radio station which broadcasts news a n d  provides info rmation fo r learners. They can visit the station to get experience in radio production. O r they can meet university students in pubs a n d  clubs o r at one of the many campus spo rts facilities which are open to language learners.

 

2. The Motives fo r Euphemizing

The motives fo r generating euphemisms are as diverse a n d  as universal as the range of human emotions. As we said earlier, fear a n d  a desire to placate the mysterious fo rces that rule the universe were probably the o riginal reasons fo r euphemizing. In diluted a n d  subtler fo rms, these underlying impulses are still with us today; we lard our sentences with expressions like "knock on wood" without ever thinking that we do so to avert evil. We are subject to other varieties of fear as well. Afraid to flout social a n d  mo ral conventions, we refer to our lovers as COMPANIONS, thus disguising the unconventional o r socially unacceptable nature of the relationship. Our fear of specific diseases has led us to coin a lexicon of euphemisms fo r insanity a n d  retardation, epilepsy, venereal disease, cancer, heart disease a n d  stroke. We also suffer from a generalized terro r of every so rt of DISABILITY - the wo rd itself is a euphemism - a n d  disfigurement a n d , while we fear these conditions, we are equally afraid of the social rejection that might attach to us if we had them.

四、汉译英（每小题25分，共50分）

   1.  气候变化已不是单纯的环境保护问题，而成为人类生存与发展问题。中国需要改变以煤为主的能源结构和高污染、高能耗的产业结构，以治理环境和应对全球气候变化。同时，积极应对气候变化也是中国参与全球治理的责任，也是实现可持续发展的迫切需要。中国作为世界最大的发展中国家，需要积极推动经济与能源的转型，以推动全球可持续发展。

       长期以来，中国高度重视气候变化问题，把积极应对气候变化作为国家经济社会发展的重大战略，把绿色低碳发展作为生态文明建设的重要内容，采取了一系列行动，为应对全球气候变化做出了重要贡献。

       到2020年单位国内生产总值二氧化碳排放比2005年下降40%-45%，非化石能源占一次能源消费总量的比重达到15% ，森林面积比2005年增加4000万公顷，森林蓄积量比2005年增加13亿立方米。

       中国还将在农业、林业、水资源等重点领域和城市、沿海、生态脆弱地区形成有效抵御气候变化风险的机制，提高抵抗能力。

 

  2.   北京黄花城水长城旅游区位于北京市怀柔区九渡河镇境内, 距北京市区65公里, 是以奇而著称, 融山川、碧水、古长城为一体的旅游休闲胜地。而这里的“三绝景”更是引人入胜, 叹为观止:

“一绝”建于明永乐年间的长城盘旋于山脊之上, 环绕在灏明湖畔, 景色秀美壮观。

“二绝”湖水将长城自然断开, 形成长城戏水、水没古城垣的奇特景观。

“三绝”明代板栗园, 古树盘根错节, 形态各异。那巨龙戏珠之躯和撑掩苍天之冠, 令人咋舌赞不绝口。

沿古道、过木桥、涉小溪、跨怪石, 上行可达黑龙潭。途中, 可见龙尾洞、紫翠峰、醉女山、石浪谷、情人峰、三珠连潭等自然景观。
