Farmers who have voluntarily adopted these measures are compensated by the European Union. The goal of the program is to work against the negative effects of modern farming, such as declines in species diversity and the disturbance of local nesting grounds.The “green” methods of farming cost the European Union about 1.7 billion Euros annually. This is about 4 percent of the budget for “Common Agricultural Policy,” and the compensation is expected to rise to 10 percent within the next few years.Various forms of “green farming” employed around the world have proved successful, and all new methods thought to be environmentally sensitive should be subject to sound scientific evaluation to determine whether they are actually meeting the intended goals.2003年The generation gap is so great in Hong Kong that the teenagers there rarely turn to their parents or teachers for advice on anything. Whether it be sex, AIDS, school worries or family problems, adults are not considered up to the job.Until now, no one has asked Hong Kong youth, “What do you think?” Some understanding of the emotions of Hong Kongs youth, however, has come from the work of Dr. Jeffrey Dayat the University of Hong Kong. His survey of young people does not focus, for example, on how many drugs they take-but tries to answer the question why.Dr. Day hopes the results, which he plans to explain in full next week, will reveal what troublesas well as pleasestodays high-school students. Conclusions will be passed on not only to government departments but back to the schools which took part. 2004年One of the really nice features about e-mails is that they allow us to send files as attachments to other usersThis is a very good thingIf Im working with a colleague and want to send him an image file or a word file,I can do so very quickly and easily,without having to fax it to himThis saves on long distance bills and printing costsIt also,however,presents a problem,because attachments can take a long time to downloadFor those of us who pay by the hour for Internet service,unwanted attachments can be quite costly and time-consumingI once had someone send me fifteen large image files,and it tied up my computer for 20 minutes just to download one of themSo,in short,if youre going to send an attachment,get permission first2005年Drinking water and water for domestic use often come from groundwater. In order to protect this water, local water authorities can apply to local administrative authorities to mark certain locations as water protection areas. The size of these areas is calculated in such a way that the quantity of groundwater taken from them corresponds to the actual rainfall going into them. In the water protection areas certain uses of the land and activities on the land are banned or restricted. Water protection areas fall into three zones. Zone 3 is the outermost zone with a diameter of 4 kilometers around the groundwater well. Here no chemical works or the use of pesticides(杀虫剂)are allowed. Zone 2 is determined around the so-called 50-day line. It is assumed that after 50 days in the groundwater harmful bacteria will have died off. Here settlements and fertilizer storage are forbidden. Zone 1 marks the ten-meter boundary around the well. Here,any use of the land,as well as access by unauthorized persons,is forbidden. 2006年 Each year in the United States more people are killed or injured in accidentsat home, at work or school, at play, or while traveling-than were killed or injured in the Vietnam war. In the early 1990s. about half of these accidental deaths were the result of motor-vehicle accidents. Other major causes of accidental deaths were falls, fires, and poisoning. On a worldwide basis, accidents involving motor vehicles are the primary cause of accidental deaths, followed by accidents in industry and in the home. Efforts to lessen or to eliminate the hazardous conditions that cause accidents are known as safely measures. Safety is a growing concern around the world, and safety skills are being taken more seriously today than ever before. People have come to realize that safety skills can be learned, and most safety experts agree that it is possible to predict, and take steps to prevent, the majority of accidents. Few accidents simply "happen". Most are caused by ignorance, carelessness, neglect, or lack of skill.2007年 Getting a proper amount of rest is absolutely essential for building your energy resources. If you frequently work far into the night or have a poor sleep, it stands to reason that you may start to feel a little run down. Though everybody is different, most people need at least seven to eight hours of sleep per night in order to function at their best. If you have been lacking energy, try going to bed earlier at night. If you can wake up feeling well-rested, it will be an indication that you are starting to get an appropriate amount of sleep at night. If you sleep more than eight hours every night but still don't feel energetic, you may actually be getting too much sleep. Once in a while, you are bound to have nights where you don't get an adequate amount of sleep. When your schedule permits you can also consider taking a short sleep during the day, for sometimes taking a nap is the perfect way to recharge-your batteries. 考前精选预测试卷(一)Translation: (30 minutes, 10 points ) Another kind of distinction that can be made among works of art is whether they were intended as objects to be looked at or to be used . the fine arts, such as painting and sculpture, involve the production of works to be seen and experienced on an abstract level.

Wildlife management involves care of the soil to produce good vegetation; it also involves care of plants, not-only as a source of food, but also as protection. Animals need cover to hide from their natural enemies and to raise their young safely. Just as crops are harvested, wildlife too must sometimes be 'harvested'. by allowing limited hunting, good management can control certain species that threaten to overpopulate their habitat.考前精选预测试卷(五)The standardized educational or psychological tests are widely used to aid in sellecting, classifying, assigning, or promoting students, employees and military personnel. But they have been the target of recent attacks in books, magazines, and even in Congress. The target is wrong, for in attacking the tests critics divert attention from the fort that lies with ill informed or incompetent users. The tests themselves are merely tools, with characteristics that can be measured with reasonable precision under specified conditions. Whether the results will be valuable, meaningless, or even misleading, they depend partly upon the tools themselves but largely upon the users.比较级翻译专题第一个句型:the more,the more 翻译为中文时先译从句,再译主句。例:The less you open your heart to others, the more your heart suffers.
