【参考译文】
彼得•德鲁克在世时就已成为传奇人物。他以95岁高龄辞世，一生著作颇丰，涉略广泛，在宗教、哲学以及政治学等领域都堪为人师。然而他最重要的成就无疑还是在商业领域。德鲁克对管理学贡献巨大，其价值正如约翰.凯恩斯之于经济学。 http://tr.hjenglish.com
二十世纪八十年代起，他开始对企业乃至资本主义制度本身产生了深深的怀疑。他不再认为公司是创造和谐氛围的理想场所，事实上，他所目睹的与此恰恰相反，公司里人人各为其利，而这与他一直倡导的平等原则相违背。无论是在著作还是演讲中，德鲁克都旗帜鲜明，成为美国式企业制度最重要的批判者之一。适逢大财团纷纷涌现，他不厌其烦，尽数此类疯狂兼并和收购的弊端。当企业经理人们埋头建造商业帝国时，他指出冗员过多和机构臃肿会造成效率低下，危害不浅。http://tr.hjenglish.com
1984 年，他在一篇文章中有力地说明企业首席行政官的薪酬之高已近失控，并强烈建议各公司的董事会将其首席执行官的报酬控制在普通员工的二十倍以内。他认为，企业高管动辄数百万美元的离职补偿金，使他们本末倒置，只管个人利益。最使他气愤的是公司经理人一方面自己收入丰厚，另一方面却在大批裁员。德鲁克写道，“无论是在道德层面，还是对于社会而言，这都是无法原谅的，我们会为此付出沉重的代价。”

II. Passage Translationhttp://tr.hjenglish.com

Passage 1:
I experienced the community of people who worked hard but always with plenty of laughing and singing. These people were dirt-poor by western standards, with no running water or electricity or any other modern convenience. Yet, they display tremendous joy in their lives with their keen senses of humor and their liking for dancing and drumming till the early hours of morning. I learned a powerful lesson that will continue to impress me for decades to come. Happiness is not dependent on material wealth and it was this lesson that eventually led me to question the American dream, a dream of gaining as much money, power and status as humanly  possible.

我曾在这样一群人中生活，他们工作辛苦，却总是充满了欢笑和歌声。用西方社会的生活标准来衡量的话，这些人极为贫困，没有自来水，居住地不通电，没有任何的现代化生活设施。然而，他们富于幽默感，热爱舞蹈击鼓，生活充满了乐趣，甚至狂欢至凌晨。我受到了深深的触动，这种感触在以后的几十年中会一直影响我。幸福并不基于物质财富。这个启发使我最终对“美国之梦”产生了怀疑，因为“美国之梦”就是尽人的能力所及争取更多的金钱、权力及更高的地位。http://tr.hjenglish.com

Passage 2:
The figures for burglaries have risen alarmingly over the last few years and are now quite appalling. Let me quote you a few statistics about break-ins. A house is burgled now about every three minutes, and over the past five years the number of burglaries reported to the police has risen by approximately 60,000 to well over 500,000 this year. The insurance companies report that last year alone household burglary losses rose by 38 per cent over the previous year to 219.7 million pounds, and I believe one or two companies are refusing to provide burglary cover in what we might call high-risk areas.http://tr.hjenglish.com

在过去几年中，统计数字显示入室盗窃案件大幅上升，现在情况已经非常惊人。让我告诉您一些相关数字：现在每三分钟就会有一户失窃。据报道，在过去的五年中，报警的入室盗窃案件数上升了6万，今年已超过50万。保险公司说，仅去年，入室盗窃所造成的损失就比前一年上升了38%，达到两亿一千九百七十万英镑。据我所知，有一两家公司拒绝在所谓高风险地区内提供入室盗窃保险。http://tr.hjenglish.com

SECTION 5: READING TEST

Question 1:
Americans’ attitude towards the population growth changed greatly/ in 1967. The nation was welcoming the birth of “the 200 millionth American” (the President’s “hailing” + Life magazine’s searching for that baby) /today the growth has not attracted much attention (“hasn’t generated much hoopla”) /no one cared much about “who became America’s 300 millionth citizen”

Question 2:
The growth of population partly due to the “influx” of Hispanics and Asians /in many parts of America, the challenges will come from the “new ethnic and racial residents”/ in political areas, the traditional “liberal/conservative” opposition/confrontation will be replaced by “young/old” opposition (“divide” “dichotomy”)/ a much controversial issue with mixed impacts

Question 3:
On one hand, population growth is often linked to economic growth/ it can be considered as an “advantage” to a nation/ on the other, the impact of population growth in America much more complicated/ with possible negative results/ more land might be used for residential purposes/ more forest and prairie would be destroyed/ causing environmental problemshttp://tr.hjenglish.com

Question 4: http://tr.hjenglish.com
Pendulum List Searching/ a new intelligence DNA analytical tool/ when police encounter a mixture of DNA/ PLS generates a list of theoretical DNA profiles that could make up the mix/ led to conviction of Duncan Turner/ Scientists found a mixture of DNA from different people on a pair of sunglasses found at the crime scene/ use PLS/ 500 pairs theoretical DNA fingerprints were entered into the database/ one matched Turner.  http://tr.hjenglish.com
 
Question 5:
there’s really no hiding places for the criminals now/ advances in DNA science had already led to suspects being identified beyond the grave and would continue to become more powerful/ the advent of new ways to collect DNA from items at crime scenes, coupled with powerful analytical tools/ possible to obtain DNA profiles of suspects from undetected crimes or cold cases committed nearly 20 years ago. http://tr.hjenglish.com 

Question 6:
for police forces/ DNA database is an invaluable resource/ the best evidence that’ll ever be presented to the criminal justice system by some considerable way/ privacy groups/ fear the privatized database could potentially be misusedhttp://tr.hjenglish.com

Question 7:
Compared with the old test, the new test “favors” girls more /as predicted by the author /the addition of the writing section narrows (“to shrink”) the score gap between boys and girls/ reliability of the test affected/ “formulaic, colorless writing” given higher scores over original “sharp young voices”/ the grading of the test more subjectivehttp://tr.hjenglish.com

Question 8:
The author tells us that before the addition of the writing section/ the standard error of measurement of SAT is only about 30 points per section/ with the addition of the new writing section, the standard error of measurement reached 40 points / the reliability of the test is more or less damaged

Question 9: http://tr.hjenglish.com
Contrary to what the author predicted/ the poorest children improved their SAT performance in the new test/ also the rising of scores of “noncitizen residents and refugees” / although there is the shift from a test of abstract-reasoning to a test of classroom material / the new test does not hurt disadvantaged children

Question 10:
He implies that the former testing items of analogies and “quantitative comparisons” depend more on testing “strategy” / with the abandoning of such items, the test becomes “much less about strategy”/ it collator the “disadvantaged students” /the teaching of testing strategy less useful

【参考译文】
The Chinese government attaches great importance to environmental protection. It believes that environmental protection has a bearing on the overall situation of China’s modernization drive and its long-term development and that it is an undertaking which will not only benefit the Chinese people of today but also bring benefit to their children and grand children. The Chinese government has established environmental protection as a basic national policy. While promoting economic growth, it has adopted a series of measures to protect the environment. Especially in recent years, adhering to the principle of prevention first, comprehensive control, entire push-on and key-point breakthrough, Chinese government has made great efforts to solve those outstanding environmental problems that threaten people’s health. It has persisted in institutional innovation, relied on technological advances, strengthened the role of law in environmental protection and brought into full play the initiative of various sectors of the society. Thanks to these efforts, the trend toward aggravated environmental pollution and ecological destruction has slowed down, pollution control in some river basins has achieved some initial success, the environmental quality of some cities and regions has improved to some extent, and the people’s awareness of the importance of environmental protection has increased further.http://tr.hjenglish.com
