14、和国和平崛起要义在什么地方？第一，中华人民共和国和平崛起就是要充分运用世界和平大好时机，努 力发展和壮大自己。同步又以自己发展，维护世界和平。第二，中华人民共和国崛起应把基点重要放在自 己力量上，独立自主、自力更生，艰难奋斗，依托辽阔国内市场、充分劳动力资源和雄厚资金储备，以及 改革带来机制创新。第三，中华人民共和国崛起离不开世界。中华人民共和国必要坚持开放政策，在平等 互利原则上，同世界一切和谐国家发展经贸往来。第四，中华人民共和国崛起需要很长时间，恐怕要多少 代人努力奋斗。第五，中华人民共和国崛起不会妨碍任何人，也不会威胁任何人，也不会牺牲任何人。中 华人民共和国当前不称霸，将来虽然强大了

15、也永远不会称霸。Section 1英译汉参照译文（50分）安迪布莱文思曾做过最大、同步也是她当前很少为之后悔决立之一，看起来一点也不像个决左。倒像是自 然而然做事。1995年夏天，她在一家超市仓库上班，把汤罐头、纸巾和狗粮箱子在地板上搬来搬去，这家超市是弗吉尼 亚西南部最大建筑物之一。天气酷热。她刚到这开始第一种年时，但愿在暑期挣点外快，这份工作在那时 显得不可思议。当时她还是个瘦得皮包件十几岁小伙子，有着沙质金发和瘦削布满雀斑脸。但是，她明白应当把坚苦工作干好，虽然她是她家族第一种大学生。不久，她挣钱髙达6.75美元一小时， 比她父母挣得都多。她有女友和同乡作伴。安迪待她们更和谐宽容。芝尔豪

16、伊镇人注意到了。这只是个完美夏天。于是一丝念头闪过她脑海，兴许这一切不必结束，兴许她可以暂时休学继续工作。她 学业成绩得了某些C和D,无论如何，大学从来不像家里。“我喜欢努力干活，完毕工作，挣一份崭水，”布莱文思回忆说。“我只懂得我不想离开。”于是她反而退了学，随之加入了美国最大和成长最快年轻人群体之一。她成了辍学生，尽管未毕业也许是 更准拟左义。诸多像她那样人筹划重新获得学位，虽然事实上很少人那么做。20岁左右美国人几乎有三分之一成为这个 群体中一员，髙于20世纪60年代五分之一，那时人口调查局开始保存这一数据。其中大某些人岀生于穷 人和工嶄阶层家庭。近来几年这种差距已扩大。咱们必要意识到，

18、房子里。“回忆起来，我但愿我已经获得了那个学位，”布莱文思先生轻快地说。“那时4年似乎像10。但是我但 愿自己只是投入了 4年。”为什么如此多低收入学生辍学，这是一种没有简朴答案问题。许多高中在将青少年送进大学准备工作上没 做好。学费吓得学生甚至不敢申请，或让其她入学人欠下近年债。布莱文思先生，像其她门路有限学生同 样，每周去上课，就像每周在赔钱。“教诲体制给了学生们一种虚假承诺，”弗吉尼亚大学校长约翰工卡斯廷三世说，她本人是一种弗吉尼亚 船厂工人儿子。Section 2汉译英参照译文Your mention of ASEAN puts me in mind of an ASEAN meeti

Secondly, the rise of China can only be based on our own strength and on our independent, self-reliant and hard efforts. It also has to be based on the broad market of China, the abundant human resources and
