From 1900 to 1950, human life was transformed by such inventions as cars, aeroplanes, telephones, radios and television sets, not to mention nuclear weapons and the computer of course. In the recent 50 years since only a few inventions have been made, was the wellspring of invention drying up? Not likely. Indeed, a new age of invention is just beginning. Part III Writing 参考范文： The Greatest Invention in the Past Century Of all the inventions and discoveries in the century, nothing can be more influencing than the invention of Internet. People who emphasize either the advantages or disadvantages have to acknowledge that Internet has become the essential part of our daily work and lives. Internet is the best information center. It is widely agreed that by using Internet, we can get access to information more easily and quickly. For example, we can read the latest news on Internet instead of buying a large piece of newspaper; we can also deal with our stock shares on the Internet sitting at home. In short, the convenience provided by the Internet helps us all. Internet also serves as a new way of communication. It is much cheaper than a telephone call, especially a long distance call; it is much quicker than a letter. Of course, it also has some detrimental influence. For instance, some unhealthy information is spreading and is sent to especially the teenagers. However, nothing could be perfect. It is widely believed than internet will do us more good than harm to us as long as we use it carefully and properly.2002年Part II Translation (20 minutes , 10 points )Directions: Translate the following passage into English .

China has also become a major producer of labor-intensive manufactured goods in the world. Part III Writing参考范文： AS can be clearly observed from the chart above, the trend of Chinese traveling abroad is mounting these years.

According to the chart, the number increased from 7.5 million in 1999 to 10 million in 2000 and to 12.1 million in 2001. I think there are at least three reasons for the above-mentioned changes. First and foremost, the changes are primarily due to the better income of the Chinese. They are better off and can afford a trip abroad. Whats more, they have a lot to do with the development of the travel industry in China. More and more travel agencies are attracting more people to join in their tours abroad. Finally, the changes are closely related to our policy of opening up to the outside world.

It reflects the improvement of our living standards and development of our economy. 2003年Part II Translation (20 minutes, 10 points)Directions: Translate the following passage into English.

Part III Writing 参考范文： As the story tells us, we have to think which we are to consider as more important, life or money. The father in the story is the victim of his savings, because he loses his life when trying to get his money out of the house regardless of the risk. The story is intended to tell us that money sometimes brings misfortune if one has become a slave of money. My argument is listed as follows: On one hand, to be the master of money can make life more meaningful and bring fortune. It is known to all that there are many other things that are more important than money, such as knowledge, health and friendship. Overestimate of the importance and value of money is likely to confine ones activity and thinking to money. As a result, everything else is overlooked and happiness will not come easily. On the other hand, to be a slave of money can make a person end up with disaster, just as the father in the story. Many crimes are related to money, including robbery, bribery and stealing. This follows that were we have to take a positive attitude towards money. In conclusion, Ill never do such a silly thing as the father has done. Money does mean a lot, but it does not mean everything. Ill learn a lesson from the story and try to devote myself to more important tasks rather than become a slave of money. 2004年Paper Two 试卷二(60 minutes)Part II Translation (35 minutes, 20 points,10 for each section) Section A Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese.

Conclusion.Paper TwoSection A 【英译汉】20 世纪以来，通讯技术和交通技术的不断进步，使得我们冲破了地理界限，彻底改变了我们的生活方式。整个世界紧密地联系在一起，任何一个地方发生的事情都可能对国际社会带来影响。全球化不仅加速了世界范围内的信息和观念的流通，而且，从经济角度来讲，它带来了超越国界的投资和国际贸易，并因此使所有的国家融入到一个单一巨大的世界性市场。从文化方面而言，全球化既具有正面的积极影响，也有反面的消极作用，是一把“双刃剑”，也可能只是两者之一，这需要视人们的不同观点而定。Section B 【汉译英】With the rapid development of our societys economy,peoples living standard and medical industy are improved.People are severely worried about the increasing number of older people.Some experts say that not only it brings us enomous pressure,but also does it turn pressure into opportunity when we realize that the trade opportunity behind it and abundant of resourses such as telligent and experience.【写作范文】There is much discussion nowadays as to whether or not College students should be allowed to get married. Some people think it is humanistic to allow college students to get married, while there are some others who believe that it may make a far-reaching negative impact upon the students study. Were it left for me to decide whether college students should be allowed to get married or not, I would not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. There are a dozen of reasons behind my belief. First of all, academic studying is what the college life should focus on. The whole point of marriage is that it imposes clear obligations, not just the right to pursue your own happiness, but to provide both emotional and practical care for each other, which surely wastes a lot of time. More importantly, most college students are relying on their parents financial support to continue their study. Surely, their parents hope they can concentrate on study instead of love affairs. Most important of all, a great majority of college students are still young, that is, they have not yet developed a sound opinion as to the true implication of love and marriage, thereby, most of their marriages may end up in divorce. From what we discussed above, we can safely come to the conclusion that it is unwise to allow college students to get married. Because it wasted too much time, money and energy, which greatly influences their studies and both physical and mental welfare. And the rules and regulations should be made by both the college and the governments to be manifest to all college students that college students are forbidden to get married.2006年Paper twoPart Translation (30minutes, 20 points,10 for each section) Section A Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese.

Paper TwoSection A 【英译汉】野生动物管理部门首要关心的事就是保护和改善它们的自然栖息地以使动物们有足够的食物和水来生存。野生动物管理部门专注于保护土壤，培育出良好的植被，他们还专注于保护植物，植物不仅可以能作为野生动物的食物来源，还能作为它们的保护者。动物需要用植物来掩护自己以躲避天敌和安全地抚育自己的孩子。就象庄稼收获一样，野生动物有时候也必须被“收获”，通过允许有限的捕猎，好的管理部门能控制某些物种使他们不至因过度繁殖而威胁到他们的栖息地。Section B 【汉译英】With the development of the society, mans demand for water has been constantly increasing, but the water resource available for human is sharply decreasing. the deterioration of ecosystem brought about by the water crisis threaten to humans existence seriously. how to make use of the water resource effectively and promote the sustained development and protection of water resource has become an urgent problem which should be faced together by all the countries in the world.【写作范文】College Graduates Work as Village Officials With the development of the society and the constant increase of job-hunting pressure., many people find it hard to find a job, especially the college graduates. Most of them just want to work in the big and developed cities, such as Shenzhen, Shanghai. but the situation has changed. Some college graduates prefer to work as village officials in the rural areas, I think it is a good idea.

Second, the college graduates can bring the advanced science and technology to the lagging rural areas. For example, they can teach the villagers how to feed the pigs effectively and plant the fruits and vegetables scientifically, which can help the villagers live a wealthy life in a short time.
