Passage one.
段落一。
The Nile, which begins in central Africa and flows over 4,100 miles north into the Mediterranean, hosted one of the world's great ancient civilizations along its shores.
尼罗河发源于非洲中部,向北流淌超过4,100英里注入地中海,沿岸孕育了世界上最伟大的古代文明之一。
Calm and peaceful for most of the year, the Nile used to flood annually, thereby creating, irrigating and carrying new topsoil to the nearby farmland on which ancient Egypt depended for livelihood.
尼罗河一年中大部分时间平静安宁,过去每年都会泛滥,从而创造、灌溉并带来新的表层土壤到附近的农田,古埃及依赖这些农田为生。
As a means of transportation, the river carried various vessels up and down its length.
作为交通工具,这条河流承载着各种船只在其全长上下航行。
A journey through the unobstructed part of this waterway today would pass by the splendid Valley of the Kings, where the tombs of many of these ancient monarchs have stood for over 3,000 years.
如今,沿着这条水道畅通无阻的部分旅行,会经过壮丽的国王谷,那里许多古代君主的陵墓已经矗立了超过3,000年。
Great civilizations and intensive settlement are hardly associated with the Amazon.
伟大的文明和密集的定居点几乎与亚马逊河无关。
Yet this 4,000-mile-long South American river carries about 20% of the world's fresh water, more than the Mississippi, Nile and Yangtze combined.
然而,这条长4,000英里的南美洲河流承载着全球约20%的淡水,比密西西比河、尼罗河和长江的总和还要多。
Other statistics are equally astonishing.
其他统计数据同样令人惊讶。
The Amazon is so wide at some points that from its centre neither shore can be seen.
亚马逊河在某些地方非常宽阔,从其中心看不见任何岸。
Each second, the Amazon pours some 55 million gallons of water into the Atlantic.
每秒钟,亚马逊河向大西洋倾注约5,500万加仑的水。
There, at its mouth, stands one island larger than Switzerland.
在那里,在河口处,有一个比瑞士还大的岛屿。
Most important of all, the Amazon irrigates the largest tropical rainforest on Earth.
最重要的是,亚马逊河灌溉着地球上最大的热带雨林。
Questions 9 to 11 are based on the passage you have just heard.
问题9至11基于你刚听到的段落。
Question 9. What can be found in the Valley of the Kings?

Passage 2.
第二段。
How often do you say to people, I'm busy or I haven't got time for that?
你多久对别人说一次‘我很忙’或‘我没时间做那个’?
It's an inevitable truth that all of us live a life in the fast lane, even though we know that being busy is not always particularly healthy.
一个不可避免的事实是,我们所有人都生活在快节奏中,即使我们知道忙碌并不总是特别健康。
Growing up in New Zealand, everything was always calm and slow.
在新西兰长大,一切都总是平静而缓慢。
People enjoyed the tranquility of a slower pace of life.
人们享受慢节奏生活的宁静。
But after I moved to Tokyo and lived there for a number of years, I got used to having a pile of to-do lists, and my calendar always looked like a mess with loads of things to do written across it.
但在我搬到东京并在那里生活了几年后,我习惯了有一堆待办事项清单,我的日历总是看起来乱七八糟,上面写满了要做的事情。
I found myself filling my time up with endless work meetings and social events, rushing along as busy as a bee.
我发现自己用无尽的工作会议和社交活动填满时间,忙碌得像蜜蜂一样匆忙。
Then, one day, I came across a book called In Praise of Slowness, and realised that being busy is not only detrimental, but also has the danger of turning life into an endless race.
然后,有一天,我偶然发现了一本名为《慢的赞美》的书,并意识到忙碌不仅有害,还可能将生活变成一场无休止的竞赛。
So I started practising the various practical steps mentioned by the author in the book, and began to revolt against the very idea of being too busy.
因此,我开始实践作者在书中提到的各种实用步骤,并开始反抗过度忙碌的观念。
It doesn't mean that my to-do lists no longer exist, but I've become more aware of the importance of slowing down, and making sure that I enjoy the daily activities as I carry them out.
这并不意味着我的待办事项清单不再存在,但我变得更加意识到放慢速度的重要性,并确保在执行日常活动时享受它们。
From now on, when someone asks you how your life is, try responding with words like exciting and fun, instead of the cultural norm that says busy.
从现在起,当有人问你生活如何时,试着用‘令人兴奋的’和‘有趣的’这样的词来回应,而不是文化规范中常说的‘忙碌’。
See if you experience the tranquillity that follows.
看看你是否体验随之而来的宁静。

Governments, private groups and individuals spend billions of dollars a year trying to root out non-native organisms that are considered dangerous to ecosystems, and to prevent the introduction of new intruders.
政府、私人团体和个人每年花费数十亿美元,试图根除被认为对生态系统危险的非本地生物,并防止新入侵者的引入。
But a number of scientists question the assumption that the presence of alien species can never be acceptable in a natural ecosystem.
但许多科学家质疑这一假设,即外来物种的存在在自然生态系统中永远是不可接受的。
They say that portraying introduced species as inherently bad is an unscientific approach.
他们说,将引入物种描绘为本质上不好是不科学的做法。
Distinctions between exotic and native species are artificial, said Dr.
外来物种和本地物种之间的区别是人为的,博士说。
Michael Rosenzweig, a professor of evolutionary biology at the University of Arizona.
迈克尔·罗森茨维格,亚利桑那大学进化生物学教授。
Because they depend on picking a date and calling the plants and animals that show up after that date exotic.
因为它们依赖于选择一个日期,并将在该日期之后出现的植物和动物称为外来物种。
Ecosystems free of species defined as exotic are, by default, considered the most natural.
没有被定义为外来物种的生态系统,默认被认为是最自然的。
You can't roll back the clock and remove all exotics or fix habitats, Dr.
你不能倒转时钟并移除所有外来物种或修复栖息地,博士说。
Rosenzweig said.
罗森茨维格说。
Both native and exotic species can become invasive, and so they all have to be monitored and controlled when they begin to get out of hand.
本地物种和外来物种都可能变得具有入侵性,因此当它们开始失控时,都必须进行监控和控制。
At its core, the debate is about how to manage the world's remaining natural ecosystems and about how and how much to restore other habitats.
核心在于,这场辩论是关于如何管理世界上剩余的自然生态系统,以及如何恢复其他栖息地和恢复多少。
Species that invade a territory can harm ecosystems, agriculture and human health.
入侵一个地区的物种可能危害生态系统、农业和人类健康。
They can threaten some native species or even destroy and replace others.
它们可能威胁一些本地物种,甚至摧毁和替代其他物种。
Next to habitat loss, these invasive species represent the greatest threat to biodiversity worldwide, many ecologists say.
许多生态学家说,除了栖息地丧失,这些入侵物种代表着全球生物多样性面临的最大威胁。
Ecologists generally define an alien species as one that people accidentally or deliberately carried to its new location.
生态学家通常将外来物种定义为人们意外或故意带到新地点的物种。
Across the American continents, exotic species are those introduced after the first European contact.
在美洲大陆,外来物种是指在欧洲首次接触后引入的物种。
That date, rounded off to 1500 AD, represents what ecologists consider to have been a major shift in the spread of species, including crops and livestock, as they began to migrate with humans from continent to continent.
这个日期大约定在公元1500年,代表了生态学家认为物种传播的重大转变,包括农作物和牲畜,随着它们开始随人类从一个大陆迁移到另一个大陆。
Only a small percentage of alien species cause problems in their new habitats, said Don Smith, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology at the University of Tennessee.
田纳西大学生态学和进化生物学教授唐·史密斯说,只有一小部分外来物种在其新栖息地造成问题。
Of the 7,000 alien species in the United States, out of a total of 150 ,000 species, only about 10% are invasive, he pointed out.
他指出,在美国150,000个物种中的7,000个外来物种中,只有约10%具有入侵性。
The other 90% have fit into their environments and are considered naturalized.
其他90%已经适应了环境,并被认为已经归化。
Yet appearances can deceive, ecologists caution, and many of these exotics may be considered acceptable only because no one has documented their harmful effects.
然而,生态学家警告说,外表可能具有欺骗性,许多外来物种之所以被认为可接受,可能仅仅是因为没有人记录其有害影响。
What is more, non-native species can appear harmless for decades, then turn invasive.
更重要的是,非本地物种可能几十年看起来无害,然后变成入侵物种。
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the lecture you have just heard.
问题16到18基于你刚刚听到的讲座。
Question 16. What assumption about introduced species is challenged by a number of scientists?
问题16。许多科学家对引入物种的什么假设提出了质疑?

Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the third in our series of business seminars in the programme Doing Business Abroad.
女士们、先生们,早上好,欢迎参加我们“海外业务”系列商业研讨会的第三讲。

今天我们将探讨跨文化意识,即不是每个人都是英国人,不是每个人都会说英语,也不是每个人都以英国方式做生意。
And why should they?
他们为什么要这样做呢?
If overseas business people are selling to us, then they will make every effort to speak English and to respect our traditions and methods.

It is not only polite, it is essential if we want to sell British products overseas.

If you admire your colleague's beautiful golden bowls, you may well find yourself being presented with them as a present.
如果你欣赏同事漂亮的金色碗,你很可能会发现它们作为礼物送给你。
This is not a cheap way to do your shopping, however, as your host will quite correctly expect you to respond by presenting him with a gift of equal worth and beauty.
然而,这不是一种廉价的购物方式,因为你的主人会相当正确地期望你回赠一份价值相当、同样美丽的礼物。
In Thailand, clicking the fingers, clapping your hands or just shouting waiter will embarrass your hosts, fellow diners, the waiter himself and, most of all, you.
在泰国,打响指、拍手或只是大喊服务员会让你的主人、其他用餐者、服务员本人以及最重要的是你感到尴尬。
Place your palm downward and make an inconspicuous waving gesture which will produce instant and satisfying results.
