SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

Translate the underlined part of the following text into English. Write your translation on
ANSWER SHEET THREE.

我想不起來哪一個(gè)熟人沒有手機(jī)。今天沒有手機(jī)的人是奇怪的，這種人才需要解釋。我們的所有社會關(guān)系都儲存在手機(jī)的電話本里，可以隨時(shí)調(diào)出使用。古代只有巫師才能擁有這種法寶。

手機(jī)刷新了人與人的關(guān)系。會議室門口通常貼著一條通告：請與會者關(guān)閉手機(jī)。可是會議室里的手機(jī)鈴聲仍然響成一片。我們都是普通人，并沒有多少重要的事情。盡管如此，我們也不會輕易關(guān)掉手機(jī)。打開手機(jī)象征我們與這個(gè)世界的聯(lián)系。手機(jī)反映出我們的"社交饑渴癥"。最為常見的是，一個(gè)人走著走著突然停下來，眼睛盯著手機(jī)屏幕發(fā)短信。他不在乎停在馬路中央還是廁所旁邊。

為什么對于手機(jī)來電和短信這么在乎?因?yàn)槲覀兤惹锌释c社會保持聯(lián)系。

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.

We, the human species, are confronting a planetary emergency - a threat to the survival of our
civilization that is gathering ominous and destructive potential even as we gather here. But thereis hopeful news as well: we have the ability to solve this crisis and avoid the worst - though not all - of its consequences, if we act boldly, decisively and quickly.

However, too many of the world's leaders are still best described in the words of Winston
Churchill applied to those who ignored Adolf Hitler's threat: "They go on in strange paradox,
decided only to be undecided, resolved to be irresolute, all powerful to be impotent."

So today, we dumped another 70 million tons of global-warming pollution into the thin shell
of atmosphere surrounding our planet, as if it were an open sewer. And tomorrow, we will dump
a slightly larger amount, with the cumulative concentrations now trapping more and more heat
from the sun.
