SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese. Of the well-known ’five senses’--sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch--by far the most important to most animals is smell. But compared to other mammals, humans miss out. We have evolved to rely principally on sight and we are only gradually coming to understand what other animals can achieve by smell. In mammals, smells are detected by a thin layer of very sensitive cells in the nose called the olfactory epithelium （）. Humans only have about five square centimeters of these cells, while an Alsatian dog, for example, has 150 square centimeters. This is why dogs continue to be used by man for everything from hunting wild animals to the search for hidden drugs.

听力原文： Lecturer: Welcome to this presentation on Prairie Dogs. You can see a picture of these rather cute animals on this slide. As you can see, they are about the size of a rabbit and they have a brown or clay-coloured coat with black-tipped hairs and a black-tipped tail. The underside of the prairie dog is a light tan colour. They have short legs and sharp claws to help them dig their homes. Their bodies are 12-15 inches long with a 3-4 inch tail and they weigh 2-4 pounds.

I've been interested in these animals for a long time and would like to talk about a remarkable discovery. The barks of prairie dogs have distinct, individual meanings. Prairie dogs have different "words" for tall human in yellow shirt, short human in green shirt, coyote, deer, red-tailed hawk and many other creatures. They can even coin new terms for things they've never seen before, independently coming up with the same calls or words, according to research done over two decades by a professor from Arizona University, who can now not only call himself a biology professor, but also a prairie dog linguist.

Prairie dogs of the Gunnison's species, which were studied intensely, actually speak different dialects in Arizona and in Colorado, but they would probably understand one another, research indicates. So far, this is believed to be...or prairie dogs appear to be demonstrating, the most sophisticated communication system that anyone has shown in animals. Prairie dog chatter is variously described by observers as a series of yips, high-pitched barks or eeks. And most scientists think prairie dogs simply make Sounds that reflect their inner condition. That means all they're saying are things like "ouch" or "hungry" or "eek." But we now know that prairie dogs are communicating detailed information to one another about what animals are showing up in their colonies, and maybe even gossiping.

Linguists have set five criteria that must be met for something to qualify as language: It must contain words with abstract meanings; possess syntax in which the order of words is part of their meaning; have the ability to coin new words; be composed of smaller elements; and use words separated in space and time from what they represent. The American researchers focussed their efforts on these five criteria to see if prairie dogs use a language, as defined by human linguists, or not. Work was done in the field and in a laboratory. With digital recorders, they recorded the calls prairie dogs make as they see different people, dogs and other animals of different sizes and with different coat colours, such as hawks and elk. They then analysed the sounds using a computer that dissects the underlying structure and creates a sonogram, or visual representation of the sound. Computer analysis later identifies the similarities and differences.

The prairie dogs have calls for various predators but also for elk, deer, antelope and cows. It's as if they're trying to inform. one another what's out there. So far, the researchers have recorded at least twenty different "words." Some of those words or calls were created by the prairie dogs when they saw something for the first time. Four prairie dogs in the lab were shown a great-horned owl and European ferret, two animals they had almost certainly not seen before, if only because the owls are mostly nocturnal and this kind of ferret is foreign. The prairie dogs independently came up with the same new calls. In the field, black plywood cut-outs showing the silhouette of a coyote, a skunk and a circular shape were randomly run along a wire through the prairie dog colony. Now, there are no black ovals running around out there and yet they all had the same word for black circle. The researchers believe that prairie dogs are genetically programmed with some vocabulary and the ability to describe things.

The researchers then played back a recorded prairie dog a

听力原文：W: Dave. (19)I'm going to the supermarket to pick up food and drink for Saturday's picnic later. Any suggestions？

M: Well, (19)everyone has been talking about having a barbecue down by the river, so why don't you pick up some hamburger and hot dogs？

W: Okay, but how much hamburger meat are we going to need？ And hot dogs too？

M: Uh, I don't know. How about three pounds of hamburger and a couple packages of hot dogs？

W: Oh, that's not going to be enough. Do you remember the last picnic we went on？ Your roommate, Jim, ate about ten hamburgers by himself!

M: You're right. (20)Let's buy nine pounds of hamburger meat and seven packages of hot dogs then.

W: And you'd better pick up some chicken for those who don't like hamburgers or hot dogs.

M: Okay. How about five or six bags of potato chips？

W: Better make that eight or so.

M: Alright. Oh, and we're going to need some hamburger and hot dog buns. How about five packages a piece？ I think that sounds about right.

W: Yeah, you'd better pick up some mustard, catch up, and mayonnaise, too.

M: Okay. What else？ Uh, we're going to need some soft drinks. How about ten of those big 2-liter bottles？

W: Sounds tine, but be sure to buy a variety of drinks.

M: Okay. And what about dessert？

W: Well, maybe we could ask Kathy to make a few cherry pies as she did last time.

M: Well, I wouldn't mind that, but you know, she's been very busy working two jobs, so I'd hate to ask her. (21)OK, to be honest, I have broken up with her last week, and we haven't talked since then.

d, their eyesight may be poor. Dogs, for example, have poor eyesight and no color vision. They see only shades of gray. But the dog's sense of smell is extraordinary,

The kind of dog known as Alsatian has 220 million olfactory (嗅觉) cells. Man has five million. Scientists believe that the Alsatian is one million times better than man in finding out odors.

The human sense of smell, however, is really quite good. The average human being can distinguish more than 10 000 different odors.

According to the passage which of the following facts is NOT true？

A．Many animals have poor eyesight while their sense of smell, is quite good.

B．Dogs are color blind.

C．The human sense of smell is not good.

D．Dogs can see no more than shades of gray.

Two hours passed, during which Bob had heard Oolak's rifle crack four or five times. Bob decided to look for his companion and rejoin him. He climbed an ice pinnacle to look. It was a peaceful scene that met Bob's gaze. White ice stretched before him with little streams flowing across its surface. The low hills and open plains of ice were all bathed in golden sunlight. He did not see Oolak, but he became aware that the dogs had been howling for some time. It dawned on him that the entire team was in an uproar.

When he glanced his way to see what the trouble was, his heart almost froze. Walking toward them was an immense whitish form, sleek head hanging low--a polar bear!

The bear smelled a freshly-killed seal which Oolak had dragged to the sled, and it was this that he was seeking. To the clamor of the dogs he paid no more attention than if it were the buzzing of a fly. In his entire life the huge beast had never known fear, for the. polar bear is the ruler of the ice. He knows no enemies.
