Exercise 1
A. 1.
麦当劳有很多让农民恼怒的事：千篇－律，平淡无味，还有其所代表的烹饪霸权
2.
至少有
40
种植物已经通过了政府审核。
3.
到目前为止，还没有任何迹象表明基因重组作物会对任何
人造成任何伤害。
4.
即使还没有
法律措施，公众舆论正以更加怀疑的态度
看待
基因改良技术。<
/p>
5.
这种优质作物受到农民的欢迎是
情有可原的，因为对他们来说，产量即使有一丁点
的增长也就意味着利润上的极大提高。
B.
1.
In recent years Europeans have become
increasingly jumpy about bad food
–
and with
good reason.
2.
This year the E.U. banned
the importation of non-approved GM corn.
3.
It is crucially important that we take
stock of this technology
’
s
probable effects on our
planet
’
s
ecosystems.
4.
We should also take a sober look at the
effect of
genetic engineering in the
social and
political
realms.
5.
Nature
is
never
idle.
Through
random
mutations,
nature
constantly
tests
new
genetic
models of organisms.
Exercise 2.
A.
1.
全世界的
人们
都在密切地注视他们食品中的基因构成——并地为
他们所看到的一切
越发感到不安。在过去的十年里，随着科学家们将无数的水果和蔬菜的
基因
重组
，使平
常的农作物变成了能<
/p>
抵御
霜冻、
经得起除草剂，
甚至产生消灭自身害虫作用
的超级作物，
基因改良食
品已日益成为普遍现象。
就总数而言，
超过
4,500
的基因改良植物已经过测试，
其中至少有
40
种——包括
13
种玉米，
11
种西红柿和
4
种大豆——已经通过了政府的审核。
2.
但是，一个国家的禁令对另一国家而言就是一种贸易保护主义，美国对欧洲的举动
持怀疑态度
。
自从欧洲决定继续禁止进口助长荷尔
蒙的美国牛肉以来，
美国通过对欧洲
某些
出口食品征收
100%
的关税作为反击，欧美之间的关系近来
变得越发紧张。在这种
激烈的争斗中，
转基因食品禁令的
审慎态度与报复差不多
/
看似是报复行为，
其实是一
种审慎
。
此外，
假如欧洲如此担忧转基因食品的话，
为什么还要生产
它们呢？法国生产
的转基因粮食规模不大，而消费得却比其它欧洲国家多。
B
. 1.
Ready or not, the world is entering the age of
genetic engineering. Altered environments and
human-created
life
forms
will
be
part
of
this
new
age.
Plants
may
be
transformed
into
miniature factories producing plastics,
medicines, or perfumes. Animals may be given human
genes to make their tissues compatible
with humans, allowing animal hearts and other
organs
to be transplanted into
critically ill people.
2.
We
should
also
take
a
sober
look
at
the
effects
of
genetic
engineering
in
the
social
and
political
realms.
Because
the
agricultural
and
medical
benefits
of
genetic
engineering
are
expensive, poor
individuals and poor nations will not be able to
afford them
–
at least not
for
years to come. As a result,
the economic gap between rich and poor
is likely
to widen.
In
addition,
Third
World
leaders
have
sometimes
vetoed
the
use
of
their
plant
and
animal
species
in
genetic
research.
Western
companies
want
these
species
for
genetic
engineering
projects and hope to obtain them with
minimal expense; Third World leaders want to
ensure
that
their
people
are
fairly
compensated
if
these
species
are
used
to
produce
something
of
value.

If parents were
prepared for this adolescent reaction, and
realized that it was a sign that the
child was growing up and developing
valuable powers of observation and independent
judgment,
they would not be so hurt,
and therefore would not drive the child into
opposition by resenting and
resisting
it.

B. Put the following into
English.
1) Mount Tai is a perfect
example of the kind of mountain resort that
embodies natural scenery
and cultural
heritage, boasting numerous grotesque rock
formations, clear waterfalls, age-old pine
trees,
stone
bridges,
temples,
pavilions,

2) What is meant by politics? The word

the study of the general principles on which
government can
be carried on
successfully, in other words, the study of the
exercise of power.
