3、 I” and “Topic 2”. For the passage in Part A and your choice of passage in Part B, translate the underlined portions, including titles, into Chinese. Above your translation of Part A, write “Compulsory Translation” and above your translation from Part B, write “Topic I” or “Topic 2” (60 points, 100
4、minutes)Part A Compulsory Translation (必译题) (30 points)Nowhere to GoFor the latest on the pursuit of the American Dream in Silicon Valley, all you have to do is to talk to someone like “Nagaraj” (who didnt want to reveal his real name). Hes an Indian immigrant who, like many other Indian engineers,
5、came to America recently on an H-1B visa, which allows skilled workers to be employed by one company for as many as six years. But one morning last month, Nagaraj and a half dozen other Indian workers with H-1Bs were called into a conference room in their San Francisco technology-consulting firm and
6、 told they were being laid off. The reason: weakening economic conditions in Silicon Valley, “It was the shock of my lifetime,” says Nagaraj.This is not a normal bear-market sob story. According to federal regulation, Nagaraj and his colleagues have two choices. They must either return to India, or
7、find another job in a tight labor market and hope that the Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) allow them to transfer their visa to the new company. And the law doesnt allow them to earn a pay-check until all the paperwork winds its way through the INS bureaucracy. “How am I going to survi
8、ve without any job and without any income?” Nagaraj wonders.Until recently, H-1B visas were championed by Silicon Valley companies as the solution to the regions shortage of programmers and engineers. First issued by the INS in 1992, they attract skilled workers from other countries, many of whom br
9、ing families with them, lay down roots and apply for the more permanent green cards. Through February 2000, more than 81,000 worker held such visas but with the dot-com crash, many have been getting laid off. Thats causing mass consternation in U.S. immigrant communities. The INS considers a worker
10、“out of status” when he loses a job, which technically means that he must pack up and go home. But because of the scope of this years layoffs, the U.S. government has recently backpedaled, issuing a confusing series of statements that suggest workers might be able to stay if they qualify for some ex
11、ceptions and can find a new company to sponsor their visa. But even those loopholes remain nebulous. The result is thousands of immigrants now face dimming career prospects in America, and the possibilities that they will be sent home. “They are in limbo. It is the greatest form of torture,” says Am
12、ar Veda of the Silicon Valley-based Immigrants Support Network.The crisis looks especially bad in light of all the heated visa rhetoric by Silicon Valley companies in the past few years. Last fall the industry won a big victory by getting Congress to approve an increase in the annual number of H-1B
13、visas. Now, with technology firms retrenching, demand for such workers is slowing. Valley heavyweights like Intel, Cisco and Hewlett-Packard have all announced thousands of layoffs this year, which include many H-1B workers. The INS reported last month that only 16,000 new H-1B workers came to the U
14、nited States in February down from 32,000 in February of last year.Last month, acknowledging the scope of the problem, the INS told H-1B holders not to panic,” and that there would be a grace period for laid-off workers before they had to leave the United States. INS spokeswomen Eyleen Schmidt promi
15、ses that more specific guidance will come this month. “We are aware of the cutbacks,” she says. “Were trying to be as generous as we can be within the confines of the existing law.”Part B Choice of Two Translations (二选一题) (30 points)Topic 1 (选题一)What Is the Force of Gravity?If you throw a ball up, i
16、t will come down again. What makes it come down? The ball comes down because it is pulled or attracted towards the Earth. The Earth exerts a force of attraction on all objects. Objects that are nearer to the Earth are attracted to it with a greater force than those that are further away. This force
17、of attraction is known as the force of gravity. The gravitational force acting on an object at the Earths surface is called the weight of the object.All the heavenly bodies in space like the moon, the planets and the stars also exert an attractive force on objects. The bigger and heavier a body is,
18、the greater is its force of gravity. Thus, since the moon is a smaller body than Earth, the force it exerts on an object at its surface is less than that exerted by the Earth on the same object on the Earths surface. In fact, the moons gravitational force is only one-sixth that of the Earth. This me
19、ans that an object weighing 120 kilograms on Earth will only weigh 20 kilograms on the moon. Therefore on the moon you could lift weights which are six times heavier than the heaviest weight that you can lift on Earth.The Earths gravitational force or pull keeps us and everything else on Earth from
20、floating away to space. To get out into space and travel to the moon or other planets we have to overcome the Earths gravitational pull.Entry into SpaceHow can we overcome the Earths gravitational pull? Scientists have been working on this for a long time. It is only recently that they have been abl
21、e to build machines powerful enough to get out of the Earths gravitational pull. Such machines are called space rockets. Their great speed and power help them to escape from the Earths gravitational pull and go into space.RocketsThe powerful space rocket works along the same lines as a simple firewo
22、rk rocket. The firework rocket has a cylindrical body and a conical head. The body is packed with gunpowder which is the fuel. It is a mixture of chemicals that will burn rapidly to form hot gases.At the base or foot of the rocket there is an opening or nozzle. A fuse hangs out like a tail from the
23、nozzle. A long stick attached along the body serves to direct the rocket before the fuse is lighted.When the gunpowder burns, hot gases rush out of the nozzle. The hot gases continue to rush out as long as the gunpowder burns. When these gases shoot downwards through the nozzle the rocket is pushed
24、upwards. This is called jet propulsion. The simple experiment, shown in the picture, will help you to understand jet propulsion.Topic 2 (选题二)Basketball DiplomacyCHINA”S TALLEST SOLDIER never really expected to live the American Dream. But Wang Zhizhi, a 7-foot-1 basketball star from the Peoples Libe
