福师13春《高级英语阅读(一)》练习题 翻译以下句子： Furthermore, mankind has dominion over the Earth, but mankind’s unsteady, serpentine path toward finer sentiments can be measured, in part, by evolving standards of what constitutes civilized dominion over lower animals. 参考答案：此外，尽管人类统治着地球，但人类走向更细致地控制自己情绪的道路却不稳当甚至曲折，这部分能从人类对较低级动物实行文明通知的不断演进的标准可以衡量出来。 The American people are as devoted to the idea of sin and its punishment as they are to making money - and fighting drugs is nearly as big a business as pushing them. Since the combination of sin and money is irresistible (particularly to the professional politician), the situation will only grow worse. 参考答案：美国人对惩罚罪恶与抓钱同样投入，就好像打击毒品与贩毒是同样的大买卖。 由于这种金钱与罪恶的结合实在难以抗拒 （特别是对那些职业政客），这样的情况只会变本加厉。 The deterioration of the environment both physically and aesthetically, is most apparent in our cities. The dehumanizing effects of life in the slums and ghettoes-particularly, where there is little hope for improving conditions have often been cited as contributing causes of urban rioting and disturbances. Crime rates usually reach their zenith in these neighborhoods. Such symptoms of general psychological maladjustment suggest that modem cities provide a less than ideal environment for human beings. 参考答案：环境的恶化，无论是在物理上的还是在审美上，在我们的城市都非常明显。在贫民窟尤其是在犹太人聚集的贫民窟里，在这里条件得到改善几乎是没有希望，这种人性的丧失对生活的影响被认为是城市暴乱和不安的原因。在它们临近的街区里，犯罪率在一般意义上也达到了最高点。这些普遍的心理上的失调症状表明了现代城市提供给人们的环境是不那么理想的。 1.The?official?statistics?on?productivity?growth B ???A.?exclude?the?usual?rebound?in?a?business?cycle? ???B.?fall?short?of?businessmen’s?anticipation?? ???C.?meet?the?expectation?of?business?people? ???D.?fail?to?reflect?the?true?state?of?economy? 2.?It?is?generally?believed?that?ambition?may?be?well?regarded?if A ????A.?its?returns?well?compensate?for?the?sacrifices? ????B.?it?is?rewarded?with?money,?fame?and?power ????C.?its?goals?are?spiritual?rather?than?material ????D.?it?is?shared?by?the?rich?and?the?famous Answers to Exercise (page 19) 1 The purpose of the authors flight to Manc
