I would like to thank the Peoples Government of Sichuan for inviting us to attend this important event where government leaders from Beijing and twelve other provinces meet to discuss strategies for developing Chinas Western Region. This event reflects the strong commitment of the Government and the people of China to develop its Western Regions. I am very impressed with the enthusiasm and determination demonstrated not only by the public sector but also by the increasing level of private sector interest in supporting the Western development goals set forth by the government. The purpose of my current visit to China is to assess recent economic developments in China and to discuss with senior leaders of the Government the World Bank Groups assistance strategy for China after its accession to the WTO. I started my visit two days ago in the western province of Yunnan and have now come to Sichuan. I have seen good examples of how the World Bank Group can offer assistance to the Government and the private sector to develop Chinas West. There are 11 provinces, autonomous regions and one municipality in west China, with a total area of about 6.8 million square kilometers and a population of 364 million. The governments desire to accelerate the development of the western provinces is vital to the success of achieving a sustained growth for China in the long run. There are also challenges, however, that should not be overlooked. These include continue efforts to create and improve the business environment. But I am confident that these challenges will be met. In closing, I would like to thank the Government of Sichuan for its support to the World Bank and IFC operations in Sichuan. We look forward to working with all of you to contribute to the development of Chinas West and to improve peoples lives in this important part of the country. Thank you! Directions: Now listen again.

Chinas Employment Market Challenged by More Graduates 2003年12月英语专业八级口语考试真题答案任务一：英译中在自然杂志创刊5周年庆典上的讲话任务二：中译英The Speech by the Mayor of Longcheng City on the Closing Ceremony of the International Seminar on Preserving and Renewal of the Old City任务三：对话题发表看法In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievement and confident that their degree would help them to find a good job.However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This years college graduates are facing one of the worst job markets in years. Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2003. There were many high-tech (“dot com”) job opportunities, graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries and benefits such as insurance and paid vacations. However, “Times have changed. Its a new market,” according to Cheryl Allmen-Vinnidge of the San Jose State Career Center. Allmen-Vinnidge says students who do find jobs started preparing two years ago. They worked during summer vacations, they have had several internships, and they majored in fields that are still paying well, such as accounting or nursing. In conclusion, these days a college degree does not automatically lead to a good job with a high salary. Some students can only hope that the value of their degree will increase in the future. Follow-up Notes: San Jose State University is in San Jose, California A “dot com” is a company whose operations are mostly Internet-based. The term comes from the Internet address of such companies. For example, is read as “w-w-w dot microsoft dot com.” In the 1990s thousands of new dot coms started up, opening up work opportunities for many thousands of college graduates. Many of these companies eventually failed.No wonder the days when graduates were assigned with good jobs are long gone, and now every year thousands of college students swarmed into competitive job-hunting markets with their diplomas and certifications. Generally speaking, they should get some internship experience in companies apart from social activities on campus before graduating from university. job-hunting abilitiesORAL TEST FOR ENGLISH MAJORS (2004)-GRADE EIGHT-Task One: Interpreting from English into ChineseDirections: Please do not do interpreting when you listen to the speech this time.Speech by a British High OfficialDirections: Now listen again.

Please begin interpreting when you hear a beep.1. Also, since 1974 I have been undertaking research on the varieties of English spoken in Singapore and the functions of English in that highly multilingual nation. 2. As a nation, Singapore is almost at the other extreme in size and population from China2.5 million people on an island about 27 kilometers east to west and about 22 from north to south. 3. But its small size makes it a very convenient place in which to investigate English under Chinese influence. 76 % of the population are Chinese, 14% Malay and 7% Indian.4. English is most unlikely to become localized in the same way. It is unlikely that Chinese will communicate with one another in English except in language learning situations.5. However, some of the Chinese influences which have surfaced in Singapore English are possibly ones which need to be taken into account in the preparation of language teaching programs.Task Two: Interpreting from Chinese into EnglishDirections: Please do not do interpreting when you listen to the speech this time.宏业高科技有限公司开业典礼致辞Directions: Now listen again.
