324. The advent of high speed divided roads has created an additional problem for the road surface in wet weather. 分道行驶的高速公路的出现，对于雨天的道路表面带来了新问题。 325. The actual degree of safety one experiences on a given highway is determined by decisions made on many different levels. 在某条高速公路上所感受到的真实安全度，是由许多不同的影响安全的因素决定的。
326. Safe highways are expensive and it appears that the driving public does not want safe highways. 安全的高速公路造价昂贵，而看起来驾驶员也并不喜欢安全的高速公路。 327. Therefore, to prevent vehicle malfunction, mandatory motor vehicle inspection programs are being enforced. 因此，为了避免车辆发生故障，机动车辆检查项目是强制实施的。 328. Therefore, highway improvement is also a key factor in preventing accidents. 因此，高速公路的改进也是避免交通事故发生的关键因素。
329. Building it is the first step in producing a finished facility. 建筑路基是提供完美公路设施的

第一步。
330. The collapse of the Tacoma Narrow Bridge was the result of not considering the last these factors. Tacoma Narrows桥倒塌是由于没有考虑到这些因素中的最后一个。
五．汉译英题：
331. 这些伟大建筑物不是数学知识和物理知识的产物。反而它们修建在经验和观察的基础之上，经常是作为反复试验不断摸索的结果。它们幸存下来的原因之一就是建筑于其内的巨大强度—在大部分情况下这种强度比必要的强度要大得多。These great buildings were not the product of knowledge of mathematics and physics. They were constructed instead on the basis of experience and observation, often as the result of trial and error. One of the reasons they have survived is because of the great strength that was built in them—strength more than necessary in most cases.
332. 人们可以利用好几种电子测距仪。这些仪器的优点稍有不同，但是它们的工作原理是
相同的。它们主要由一个安装在被测距离一端的发射器和一个安装在另一端的发射器组成。Several EDM devices are available. They have slightly different advantages, but they all work on the same general principle. They consist mainly of a transmitter located at one end of distance to be measured and a reflector at the other end.
333. 混凝土受压时表现很强，但是受拉时表现很弱。它的抗拉强度只有它抗压强度的百分
之八到百分之十四。由于这样低的抗拉能力，在它的荷载早期就会形成弯曲的裂缝。Concrete is strong in compression, but weak in tension. Its tensile strength varies from 8 to 14 percent of its compressive strength. Due to such a low tensile capacity, flexural cracks develop at early stages of loading.
334. 排水设施根据水来源的不同可分为两种类型，地面排水设施和地下排水设施。公路的
地面排水系统包括足够大的横坡和纵坡、纵向沟渠、涵洞、桥梁以及设置在分向行驶公路中间带上的雨水井与排水管。地下排水系统排除三种形式的水：通过裂缝或接缝的渗透水、毛细作用上升水以及地下水。Drainage facilities are divided into two types according
41
to the water sources, surface and subsurface drainage. The surface drainage system for highways include sufficient transverse and longitudinal slopes, longitudinal channels, culverts, bridges and storm inlets and drains, which are provided on the median of divided highways. Subsurface drainage system drains water in three forms: water that has permeated through cracks and joints, water that has moved upward as a result of capillary action and ground water.
335. 公路定线包括现有资料的室内研究、路线踏勘测量、初步定线和最终定线。踏勘测量的
主要任务是在路线带内确定几条可行的路线，并把它绘在地图上。近来，计算机技术的应用极大地提高了公路定线的效率，从而使得到最佳路线成为可能。The highway location involves four phases: office study of existing information, reconnaissance survey of routes] preliminary location and final location. The primary object of reconnaissance survey is to identify several feasible routes with a band, then plotting on photographic maps.
336. 坡度对于卡车比对客车有更大的影响。最大纵坡的选择取决于设计车速和设计车辆，
最小纵坡则取决于公路的排水状况。建在有适当路拱、坚实的地基上的高级路面，其最小纵坡可以减小到0.3%。Grade has a greater impact on trucks than passenger cars. The selection of maximum grade for a highway depends on design speed and design vehicle, and that of minimum grade depends on the drainage conditions of the highway.
