8、rnational sales contract will do his best to 1 his duties either as a seller or a buyer, after the conclusion of the contract. However, it is not rare that either party to a contract may fail to perform his duties, or his performance is 2 with the terms provided on the contract. In case one party 3

9、the contract, he may cause damage or loss to the other, who is entitled to take 4 measuresaccording to the contract and the law.Most international sales contracts contain a claim clause in which the principles, time and applicable law of remedy are provided.To claim damages is a major remedy for bre

10、ach of contract.According to the Convention, the buyer still maintains the right to claim damageseven if he has resorted to other remedial measures. But how much should the damages be?The principles for determining the sum of damages are _5 in different laws. The Convention provides that damages for

11、 breach of contract consist of a sum _6_ to the loss, including loss of profit suffered by the injured party as a consequence of the breach, including loss of profit suffered by the injured party as a consequence of the breach, and the damages may not exceed the loss which the party in breach, and t

12、he damages may not exceed the loss which the party in breach foresaw or ought to have foreseen at the time of the conclusion of the contract, in the 7 of the facts and matters of which he then knew or ought to have known. The basic principle for damages claim is that the damages paid will enable the

In a reasonable manner and within a reasonable time, the buyer may claim damages.Two points are 8 of special attention

And as recent findings regarding the Chesape

18、ake Bay indicate, computers can demonstrate complex interactions that simply cannot be determined using other methods.Computer modeling has revealed that approximately 25 percent of the nitrogen in the Chesapeakecomes from air pollution wafting in from as far away as western Pennsylvania, Ohio and K

19、entucky. (1) To arrive at this conclusion, Robin Dennis of the Environmental Protection Agency and his colleagues digitally recreated the atmosphere above the eastern U.S. and combined this information with another model that examined how water flows into the Chesapeake. In particular, the group sim

20、ulated how air moves across the country and how nitrogen pollution reacts with other airborne compounds and then drops to the ground directly or in rain.Conventional wisdom has generally held that nitrogen pollution falls out fairly quickly. Thus, simple models had suggestedthat air pollution from l

21、ocal sources probably contributed to the bay's condition. (2) Although water testing helps to monitor the state of the bay, models demonstrate how the pollution gets there. Despite several years of regulations on waterborne pollution, nitrogen levels have not decreased as much as expected. (3) M

22、uch of the Chesapeakemodeling was carried out at the EPA' s three-year-old National Environmental Supercomputing Center, which currently provides computer time for about 40 different projects on topics such as urban air pollution or the effects of landfills. Instead of having to sample a huge re

23、gion to determine where a toxic compound might end up if released by a factory, researchers using computers need only am few samples to establish original conditions. (4) Such techniques can often save a great deal of money. In the early 1980s, researchers assessing the feasibility of a field experi

24、ment to study acid rain in the eastern U.S. - a project similar in scale to one that might test the findings from the Chesapeakemodel put the price tag at $ 500 million. In contrast, Dennis estimates that the project to model the air pollution affecting the bay has cost around $ 500 000.Yet for all

25、their power, models cannot include every aspect of a natural system. (5) For instance, predictions about global warminghave been controversial, because,as critics point out, various models, each with district assumptions, can give vastly different results. Having absolute faith in a simulation of an

26、 environmental problem can be tough, even for computer experts. Stephen E. Cabaniss of Kent University emphasize that for now, old-fashioned laboratory experiments as well as actual sampling of water, soil and air are still vital pieces of information needed to validate computer data to or nudge mod

27、els in the right direction.A And although experiments also cannot evaluate every detail, models in particular trigger complaints about accuracy.B If people will not believe a computer model that forecasts a rise in global temperature over the next century, it is unclear whether they will accept a co

28、mputer's assessment of what is safe to put in drinking water.C Then, intricate computer programs, which consider details down to the movement of atoms, fill in aspects such as how a compound will degrade in the environment, whether any secondary products will be toxic, how the chemicals might pe

29、rcolate down to the water table or how they might accumulate in wildlife. In some cases, the toxic compound being studied may not have been produced yet.D. Dennis asserts that although controls on water pollution must not be abandoned,attempts to lower nitrogen levels in the bay may not be fully suc

30、cessful unless air pollution is also reduced.E But the more extensive model revealed that such pollution presents a much larger problem: 25 percent of nitrogen pollution is still being carried aloft 500 miles from its source.F Don' t put away those lab coats yet.G This finding alters the current

31、 perception that the bay' s greatest problems stem from more local waterborne pollution, such as sewage and runoff from agriculture.III 形式主义类题（ 5句，每句 4分，共 20分）该题型旨在考核学生两种语言对应能力，五个汉语单句需译成英语，要求体现原语形式意义。1. 发达成员有责任帮助发展中成员尽快走出困境。这样也有助于发达成员实现持续发展。2. 新的世纪充满着机遇和挑战，让我们共同合作，迎接挑战，使多边贸易体制得到巩固和加强， 为世界经济贸易的稳定

33、ed only to determine the division of costs between the parties. However, in present international custom the main purpose of trade terms is to determine at what points the seller could be said to have been delivered to the buyer.Uncertainty about these obligations could be very harmful for the contr

34、acting parties. Lack of precision would almost inevitably lead to disputes, including litigation, and to a considerable increase in "overhead" expenditures in everyday operations.Moreover, the parties in different countries would be very unwilling to subject themselves to the laws and prac

35、tices of the other. They would probably feel secure using the laws of their own country but would find it difficult to assess the consequences of rules of interpretations used in a foreign country.In order to be truly useful, trade terms should have universal application and should make explicit the obligations of both parties. This is the aim of Incoterms.商务英语翻译试题（二） 参考答案（共 20%）1 （ 1-5） AAADA（ 6-10） ABCCA2 .（ 1-5） ADCAD（6-10） CABCAII 语境意义，完形填空题（共30% ）完形填空题（15%）（1-5） CABDC （6-10） CCBAD语境意义题：（15%）（1-5） GEDCAIII 形式主义类题（ 5 句，共 20% ）1 Developed
