SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1)

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.

    As manufacturers continue to roll out new smartphones, luring customers to ditch their old phones, data security experts warn that improperly disposed phones can be mined for personal data by hackers in the U.S. and abroad.

　　The Environmental Protection Agency reports more than 416,000 cellphones are disposed of every day and almost 40% of cellphone users fail to take any security measures, such as erasing their data before disposing of it.

　　According to the EPA, the average American is expected to buy a new cellphone every 24 months. After new cellphones are purchased, old phones are either recycled or trashed. In most cases, they end up on an offshore landfill. More than 80% of e-waste is exported to Asia where workers break down electronic devices for metals, particularly gold and silver. //

　　Without federal regulations on proper handling procedures, there is no way to assure consumers a best practice for e-cycling. Currently the EPA does not have any data on the amount of e-waste being exported — only data on how much is being recycled, which for cellphones is less than 10%.

随着制造商不断推出新款智能手机，诱使顾客弃用他们的旧手机，数据安全专家警告说，旧手机处置不当可能导致个人信息被美国国内外的黑客窃取。

环境保护署的报告称，每天有超过41.6万部旧手机被处理掉，但是约40%的手机用户未采取任何安全措施，比如在处置之前抹掉手机中的信息。

根据环保署的报告，普通美国人估计每两年购买一部新手机。购得新手机以后，旧手机要么被回收，要么当垃圾处理。大多数情况下，旧手机最终在一个近海填埋场填埋掉。超过80%的电子垃圾出口到亚洲，那里的工人将电子设备拆借，获取各种金属，特别是金和银。//

由于联邦政府对旧手机的妥善处置未作出规定，所以无法确保消费者在电子回收方面做到最好。目前，环保署没有任何关于电子垃圾出口数量的数据，只有回收方面的数据——旧手机的回收率不到10%。

SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2)

Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.

　　一天王安经过一棵大树时，突然有一只小麻雀掉到地上。他决定把它带回去喂养。走到家门口，突然想起妈妈不允许他在家里养小动物。他轻轻地把小麻雀放在门后，急忙走进屋去，在他的哀求下妈妈破例答应了儿子。//

　　王安兴冲冲跑到门后，不料小麻雀不见了，一只黑猫在擦拭着嘴巴。王安为此伤心了很久。从此，他记取了一个很大的教训：只要自己认定的事情，决不可优柔寡断。犹豫不决固然可以减少做错事的可能性，但也失去了成功的机遇。

（参考译文）

   One day, as An Wang walked past a large tree, a little sparrow suddenly fell from the tree to the ground. Wang decided to bring it home and take care of it. He was about to enter the house when he remembered his mother would not allow him to keep any pets. Gently he placed the little bird behind the door and hurried in to ask for approval from his mother, who finally gave her consent upon his pleadings. //

   Overjoyed, Wang ran back to the door, only to find that the sparrow had disappeared and a black cat was rubbing its mouth with its paws. This incident made him sad for a long time. From it he learned an important lesson: never hesitate over what one believes to be the right thing to do; indecision may reduce the possibility of making mistakes, but it may also deprive one of the opportunity to succeed.
