Newspaper publishers make money mainly from subscribers and advertisers. It’s been that way for centuries. But in the last few years an important new income stream has opened up for newspapers. Among the pioneers is The Gazette Company in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, which since 1993 has been providing information to its readers delivered by both paper and, increasingly, the Web. "If a newspaper views itself as ink on paper, I don’t think it will survive. " says Steve Hannah, vice president of information technology.
61)
Online newspapers are a look into the future, and just pondering it raises the question of whether it isn’t nicer getting your daily news curled up in your favorite chair with your ballpoint pen handy to circle items of interest, or scissors ready to snip out articles you want to save.
The Gazette Company is betting its subscribers want both electronic and paper options, and so far it seems to be right.
The rest of the world is moving into cyberspace more slowly than the United States, and, in the developing world, the Internet has hardly penetrated at all. 62)
U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan is determined to change this through the United Nations Information Technology Service, which will train large numbers of people to tap into the income-enhancing power of the Internet.
Annan is also proposing an Internet health network that will provide state-of-the-art medical knowledge to 10,000 clinics and hospitals in poor countries.
The on-rushing Cyber Age has given newfound power to us all, as seen in Jody Williams’s one-woman organization using e-mail to promote a global ban on land mines. Yet, this is but a glimpse of what’s ahead in the minds of those immersed in this great and accelerating transformation.

At Microsoft, Bill Gates predicts that by 2018 major newspapers will" publish their last paper editions and move solely to electronic distribution,’and that by 2020 dictionaries will redefine books as " eBook titles read on screen. "

Computers have metamorphosed from the University of Pennsylvania’s 1961 ENIAC--whose more than 17,000 vacuum tubes had less number-crunching power than today~ s laptop — into thumbnail-sized computer chips containing 42 million transistors.
William Van Dusen Wishard, president of World Trends Research, is concerned. 65)
In a speech to the Issue Management Council in Washington D. C, he noted that "researchers at Carnegie Mellon University cite a two-year study showing depression and loneliness appearing at greater levels in people using the Internet than in others not using it, or not using it as much.
Extensive exposure to the wider world via the Net appears to make people less satisfied with their personal lives. "
选项
答案
电脑已经从宾夕法尼亚大学的1961年的电子数字积分计算机演变到今天的模式,从17000多个真空管、较小的数字处理能力到笔记本电脑变成指甲那么大小的、可容纳4200万个晶体管的集成电路芯片。
解析
1) 句式结构
此句的主体结构为一简单句,中间穿插了一个定语从句,其句式结构为:
Computers have metamorphosed from…into…; 其中whose more than 17000 vacuum tubes had less number-crunching power than today’s laptop为定语从句,修饰1961 ENIAC, containing 42 million transistors为computer chips的现在分词短语作定语。
2) 理解与表达
本句中几个重点词语的理解:metamorphose v.使变形,使变态;如:The witch metamorphosed people into animals.那巫婆将人变成了动物。University of Pennsylvania宾夕法尼亚大学;ENIAC: electronic numerical integrator and computer电子数字积分计算机;number-crunching(计算机)捣弄数字的;laptop膝上型计算机,笔记本电脑(lap+top);thumbnail-sized拇指指甲那么大的;很小的
此句翻译的关键是把握好整个句子前后之间的关系,尤其是对metamorphosed from…into(从…变成…)的理解。
