Part Two—Translation

I. Please translate the following statement into Chinese

( 本題十分 )

American courts are not embraced within a single judicial or governmental structure. Properly speaking, there is no such thing as the American judicial system. Instead, there are multiple systems, each independent of the others. There are also multiple sources of American law. The courts of one system are often called upon to apply and interpret the law generated in another. Moreover, there is often duplicative, concurrent over the same case in two or more judicial systems. These circumstances and others combine to give the United States its extraordinarily complicated legal order.

The great divide in the American legal landscape is the state-federal line. It derives from the United States Constitution, pursuant to which the federal government was created in 1789 to “form a more perfect Union” of the existing states. The federal government and the state governments coexist, with a broad range of power delegated to the former and all others reserved to the latter. Each of these governments has its own court system, autonomous and self-contained.

Text 1.

The science of meteorology is concerned with the study of the structure, state, and behavior of the atmosphere. The subject may be approached from several directions, but the scene cannot be fully appreciated from any one vantage point. Different views must be integrated to give perspective to the whole picture.

One may consider the atmosphere at a given moment and attempt to predict changes from that condition over a period of a few hours to a few days ahead. This approach is covered by the branch of the science called synoptic meteorology.

Synoptic meteorology is the scientific basis of the technique of weather forecasting by means of the preparation and analysis of weather maps and aerological diagrams. The practical importance of the numerous applications of weather forecasting cannot be overestimated. In serving the needs of shipping, aviation, agriculture, industry, and many other interests and fields of human activity with accurate weather warnings and professional forecast advice, great benefits are reaped in the form of the saving of human life and property and in economic advantages of various kinds. One important purpose of the science of meteorology is constantly to strive, through advanced study and research, to increase our knowledge of the atmosphere with the aim of improving the accuracy of weather forecasts.

The tools needed to advance our knowledge in this way are the disciplines of mathematics and physics applied to solve meteorological problems. The use of these tools forma that branch of the science called dynamic meteorology.

1. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

(A) The Limitations of Meteorological Forecasting

(B) New Advances in Synoptic Meteorology

(D) observations of commercial airline pilots

2. The predictions of synoptic meteorologists are directly based on the

(A) application of the physical sciences

(B) preparation and study of weather maps

(D) observations of commercial airline pilots

3. Which of the following is NOT referred to by the author as a field whose needs are served by weather forecasting?

(A) Transportation

(B) Manufacturing

(D) Sports

4. The author implies that increased accuracy in weather forecasting will lead to

(A) more funds allocated to meteorological research

(B) greater protection of human life

(D) less-specialized forms of synoptic meteorology

5. Which of the following statements best describes the organization of the third paragraph of the passage?

(A) A procedure is explained and its importance is emphasized

(B) Two contrasting views of a problem are presented

(D) A problem is examined and possible solutions are given
