文章大意:

英国政府公布的一个报告指出人们低估了由于气候变化导致人口迁移的严重性。这份报告表明到2060年仍有数以百万的人由于自己不能或不愿意离开家园,而将生活在气候变化所带来的危险当中。并且,一些限制或禁止人口迁徙的政策使得这一情况更加危险。

The challenges of human migration due to climate change have been underestimated as millions of people will either move into or be trapped in areas of risk by 2060, rather than migrating away, a British government report showed on Thursday. The report, by the government-backed Foresight Program, examined the likely movement of people both within and between countries to 2060. It found the greatest risks will be borne by people who are unable or unwilling to relocate.

Those risks may also be made worse by policies which seek to prevent migration. \millions of people will also migrate into vulnerable areas and there will also be those who cannot migrate out,\British government, told reporters. \pose different challenges to the international community,\

The United Nations estimates there were 210 million international migrants in 2010. A further 740 million were internal migrants in 2009. An average 25 million people a year have been displaced due to weather-related events since 2008, which will likely rise as such events become more extreme and frequent, Beddington said.

The report estimates there will be between 154 and 179 million people living in rural coastal floodplains by 2060 who will be unable to move away due to poverty. These trapped communities will need to be made more resilient (适应能力强的) to environmental events. Up to 192 million people will also move into urban coastal floodplains in Africa and Asia by 2060 in search of work and a better economic situation. This kind of migration could be beneficial by opening up new sources of income which help people become stronger and more resilient, enabling households to stay in a place for longer, the report said. Migration should be considered when funds are being allocated at UN climate talks in November in Durban, South Africa, the report said. The cost of doing nothing will be higher than the cost of measures to tackle migration, especially if they reduce the likelihood of displacement, it added. \to see initiatives on migration, forestry and agriculture to follow the Durban meeting,\said Beddington, adding that he does not expect a universally binding emissions reduction agreement to emerge this year.

Policies to restrict or prevent migration are risky and could lead to greater impoverishment (赤贫) and displacement, the report said. For some individuals or groups, planned migration could, however, allow some populations to stay in place for longer. Temporary migration—when people move to other countries with the option of returning to their home country—will become more important as more extreme climate events occur.

Part IV Translation

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

1. 长城是世界历史上最伟大的工程,参与人数之多,延续时间之长,工程难度之大,在世界上无出其右。长城在中国历史上发挥的作用是巨大的。在冷兵器时代,长城在军事防御上起到了不容置疑的作用,尤其在防御北方民族所谓“马背上的进攻”方面,效果是明显的。同时,长城给予民族心理上的安全感,和它的实际军事价值比起来有同样重要的意义。

答案:

The Great Wall is unparalleled in the world in its scale and span of construction, as well as for the great quantities of labor and the degree of difficulty involved. The Great Wall played a significant role in history. It certainly served the purposes of military defense in the age of cold steel, especially in preventing northern peoples on horseback from attacking people in the south who were mostly engaged in farming. Meanwhile, the sense of security provided by the Great Wall to the people is as important as it's actual military value.
