Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.当然，我们在人权问题上并不是没有缺点，也不能没有缺点。因为中国几千年是封建社会，还有过半封建半殖民地的历史，中华人民共和国成立只有50年，50年怎么可能把所有问题都解决？但是我们愿意听取各方面的意见，特别是听取我国人民群众的意见。我们天天都在看人民来信，研究怎样满足他们的愿望，实现他们的要求。我们也愿意听取国际友人的意见，因此我们有很多对话的渠道。我们同美国、欧盟、澳大利亚都有人权方面的对话渠道。我们在人权方面的工作每天都有进步。SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESETranslate the underlined part of the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE. Grooming and personal hygiene have been around for ages. Its hard to imagine a time when people werent concerned with taking care of their appearance and their bodies. Perhaps these practices started when Adam first took a bath and combed his hair before going on a date with Eve. Or maybe they began when Eve put on some herbal makeup to make herself more beautiful. No matter where they started, grooming and personal hygiene have become an important part of everyones daily routine.You might think that all modern societies would have the same grooming and personal hygiene practices. After all, doesnt everybody take baths？ Most people do recognize the need for hygiene, which is the basis for cleanliness and health-and a good way to keep ones friends. Grooming practices include all the little things people do to make themselves look their best, such as combing their hair and putting on makeup. However, while most modern people agree that these things are important, people in different cultures take care of themselves in different ways.2PART V TRANSLATION 60 MINSECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the underlined part of the following text into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.当我在自己教授的班级上问到“你们当中有多少人做的汉堡包能比麦当劳更好”时，几乎所有的学生都举起了手。我接着问，“如果你们当中大部分人都能做出比麦当劳更好的汉堡包，那为什么麦当劳比你们更能赚钱？” 答案是显而易见的：麦当劳拥有一套出色的运营体系。许多才华横溢的人之所以贫穷的原因，就是因为他们只是专心于做更好的汉堡包，而对运营体系几乎一无所知。世界上到处都是有才华的穷人。在很多情况下，他们之所以贫穷、生活拮据或者收入与其能力不相符，不是因为他们已知的东西而是因为他们未知的东西。他们只将注意力集中在提高和完善做汉堡包的技术上，却不注意提高有关汉堡包的销售和送货技能。SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESETranslate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.Needs are limited, but not greeds. Science has developed no cure for envy, so our wealth boosts our Happiness only briefly while shrinking that of our neighbors. Thus the outlook for the future is gloomy in Easterlins view. The future, then, to which the epoch of modern economic growth is leading is one of never ending economic growth, a world in which ever growing abundance is matched by ever rising aspirations, a world in which cultural difference is leveled in the constant race to achieve the goods life of material plenty, it is a world founded on belief in science and the power of rational inquiry and in the ultimate capacity of humanity to shape its own destiny. The irony is that in this last respect the lesson of history appears to be otherwise: that there is no choice. In the end, the triumph of economic growth is not a triumph of humanity over material wants; rather, it is the triumph of material wants over humanity.3PART V TRANSLATION 60 MINSECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the underlined part of the following text into English.

Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.The wonderful purity of nature at this season is a most pleasing fact. Every decayed stump and moss-grown stone and rail, and the dead leaves of autumn, are concealed by a clean napkin of snow. In the bare fields and tinkling woods, see what virtue survives. In the coldest and bleakest places, the warmest charities still maintain a foothold. A cold and searching wind drives away all contagion, and nothing can withstand it but what has a virtue in it, and accordingly, whatever we meet with in cold and bleak places, as the tops of mountains, we respect for a sort of sturdy innocence, a Puritan toughness. All things beside seem to be called in for shelter, and what stays out must be part of the original frame of the universe, and of such valor as God himself. It is invigorating to breathe the cleansed air. Its greater fineness and purity are visible to the eye, and we would fain stay out long and late, that the gales may sigh through us, too, as through the leafless trees, and fit us for the winter, as if we hoped so to borrow some pure and steadfast virtue, which will stead us in all seasons.4PART V TRANSLATION 60 MINSECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the underlined part of the following text into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.曹雪芹先在同一胡同内马齐家任教，后又到宗学府当“邻曲”，遇见郭敏、郭城二兄弟结成诗社，咏诗挥墨，傲岸狂放，高谈雄辩，剪烛快谈，奇谈娓娓。郭城在寄怀曹雪芹诗中道：“当时虎门数晨夕，西窗剪烛风雨昏。”曹雪芹也正是在这里开始构思创作他的毕生之作红楼梦的。我们可以想象，当年金风乍起，暑气日消，夕事渐长，秋灯有味，他们的夜话是多么大的享受，可恰我们没有聆听的耳福，以致咳唾珠玉，随风散尽！按周汝昌所说：“院里的一株三百年的枣树，应该见过曹雪芹的。”如今女儿面对这棵北京“枣树王”，视而不见，只知上下翻爬。而院外便是西单民族大世界商场，那簇拥的人群更是对这棵古树视而不见，似乎都在向前看。 SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESETranslate the underlined part of the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.When did sport begin? If sport is, in essence, play, the claim might be made that sport is much older than humankind, for, as we all have observed, the beasts play. Dogs and cats wrestle and play ball games. Fishes and birds dance. The apes have simple, pleasurable games. Frolicking infants, school children playing tag, and adult arm wrestlers are demonstrating strong, transgenerational and transspecies bonds with the universe of animals - past, present, and future. Young animals, particularly, tumble, chase, run, wrestle, mock, imitate, and laugh (or so it seems) to the point of delighted exhaustion. Their play, and ours, appears to serve no other purpose than to give pleasure to the players, and apparently, to remove us temporarily from the anguish of life in earnest. Some philosophers have claimed that our playfulness is the most noble part of our basic nature. In their generous conceptions, play harmlessly and experimentally permits us to put our creative forces, fantasy, and imagination into action. Play is release from the tedious battles against scarcity and decline which are the incessant, and inevitable, tragedies of life. This is a grand conception that excites and provokes. The holders of this view claim that the origins of our highest accomplishments - liturgy, literature, and law - can be traced to a play impulse which, paradoxically, we see most purely enjoyed by young beasts and children. Our sports, in this rather happy, nonfatalistic view of human nature, are more splendid creations of the nondatable, transspecies play impulse. 5PART V TRANSLATION 60 MINSECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the underlined part of the following text into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.人生据说是一部大书。假使人生真是这样，那么，我们一大半作者只能算是书评家，具有书评家的本领，无须看得几页书，议论早已发了一大堆，书评一篇写完交卷。但是，世界上还有一种人。他们觉得看书的目的，并不是为了写书评或介绍。他们有一种业余消遣者的随便和从容，他们不慌不忙地浏览。每到有什么意见，他们随手在书边的空白上注几个字，写一个问号或感叹号，像中国旧书上的眉批，外国书里的。这种零星随感并非他们对于整部书的结论。因为是随时批识，先后也许彼此矛盾，说话过火。他们也懒得去理会，反正是消遣，不像书评家负有指导读者、教训作者的重大使命。谁有能力和耐心作那些事呢？SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESETranslate the underlined part of the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.When I first read this line by Englands Poet Laureate, it startled me. What did Masefield mean? Without thinking about it much, I had always assumed that the opposite was true. But his sober assurance was arresting. I could not forget it. Finally, I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound observation. The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear perception, not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed by despair and boredom, and without the blind spots caused by fear. Active happinessnot more satisfaction or contentmentoften comes suddenly, like an April shower or the unfolding of a bud. Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it. The grass is greener; bird songs are sweeter; the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more forgivable. Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision. Nor are the insights of happiness limited to what is near around you. Unhappy, with your thoughts turned in upon your emotional woes, your vision is cut short as though by a wall. Happy, the wall crumbles. The long vista is there for the seeing. The ground at your feet, the world about youpeople, thoughts, emotions, pressuresare now fitted into the larger scene. Everything assumes a fairer proportion. And here is the beginning of wisdom6PART V TRANSLATION 60 MINSECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the underlined part of the following text into English.

Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.Economists are scratching their heads to explain the price jump. Some blame it on blue-ear, a contagious disease which may have killed 18,000 or 20m pigs, depending on whom you believe. Others say the main cause is the surge in global grain prices, which have increased the cost of feed for pigs. It is not only the Chinese who are paying more for their pork. Capital Economics, a London-based economics firm, points out that American pork prices have also jumped by more than 50% over the past year. Economists, however, may recall the old “hog cycle” that they learnt about in their first year of economics. This explains why prices in certain markets are subject to periodic booms and busts, because of a lag between the response in production to a change of price. Chinese pork prices today are not much higher than at their peak in 2004. High prices then prompted farmers to produce more, and prices fell sharply for two years. That in turn discouraged farmers from raising pigs. The inevitable result was todays higher prices, which will probably lead to glut and falling prices tomorrow. Pigs may fly. But not forever.7PART V TRANSLATION 60 MINSECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the underlined part of the following text into English.

Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.With wounded pride, the US, which is leading the war to safeguard peace, should be supported by the rest of the world. While no organization has claimed responsibility for the attacks, actions against terrorism must remain consistent and the intensity must not dwindle too.Every country that advocates peace must be on the alert. More important, they should put aside their prejudices and selfish interests to root out terrorism collectively and relentlessly.It has been noted that the influence of religious militancy has been growing in the region. Some terrorist forces have even become threats to some Asean members by openly opposing the governments of these countries. Without strong backing, it is doubtful that these terrorists could have been so bold and brutal.This is a war about the very survival of mankind - there is no room for wavering and indecision. People who are blinded by humanitarianism and thus against war are in fact helping to create a situation favorable to terrorists.Nobody wants war. But if we retreat when the battle lines are drawn, we are bowing to evil forces. Do not misinterpret the meaning of humanitarianism and be bogged down by concern over the loss of lives which may be inevitable. To allow terrorists to grow stronger is to invite worse disasters for ourselves and cause even greater loss of lives.8PART V TRANSLATION 60 MINSECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the following text into English.

Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.Gentlemen do not just prefer blondes, but lighter-skinned women in general, a study has suggested. Scientists looking into attractiveness in men and women suggest that men from all races find fairer-skinned woman most alluring, while women are the polar opposite and favor darker, brooding men. They said the attraction is driven by preferences based on moral assumptions. Men are subconsciously attracted to fairer-skinned icons such as Nicole Kidman or Kylie Minogue because of the skin tones association with innocence, purity, modesty, virginity, vulnerability and goodness. Women, on the other hand, pick men with darker complexions - such as film stars Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell or Jamie Foxx - because these are associated with sex, virility, mystery, villainy and danger. Academics at the University of Toronto in Canada say their study proves the fair maiden of myth has a basis in scientific reality. They studied more than 2,000 advertising photographs and found that the skin of white women was 15.2 per cent lighter than the skin of white males, and the skin of black women 11.1 per cent lighter than the skin of black men. 9PART V TRANSLATION 60 MINSECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHTranslate the underlined part of the following text into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.人生在世，和“自己”相处最多，打交道最多，但是往往悟不透“自己”。人生走上坡路时，往往把自己估计过高，似乎一切所求的东西都能唾手可得，甚至把运气和机遇也看作自己身价的一部分而喜不自胜。人在不得意时，又往往把自己估计过低，把困难和不利也看作自己的无能，以至把安分守己，与世无争误认为有自知之明，而实际上往往被怯懦的面具窒息了自己鲜活的生命。悟透自己，就是正确认识自己，也就是说要做一个冷静的现实主义者，既知道自己的优势，也知道自己的不足。SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESETranslate the underlined part of the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. Nobody grows old merely by a number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spring back to dust. Whether 60 or 16 years old, there is the lure of wonder, the unfailing childlike appetite and the joy of the game of living in every human beings heart. In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from the Infinite, so long are you young. When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snow
