One day, drought may be a thing of the past, at least in any country not too far from the sea.Vast areas of desert throughout the world may for the first time come to life and provide millions of hectares of cultivated land where now nothing grows.By the end of this century this may not be mere speculation.Scientists are already looking into the possibility of using some of the available ice in the Arctic and Antarctic.In these regions there are vast ice-caps formed by snow that has fallen over the past 50,000 years.Layer upon layer of deep snow means that, when melted, the snow water would be pure, not salty as sea-ice would be.There is so much potential pure water here that it would need only a fraction to turn much of the desert or poorly irrigated parts of the world into rich farmland.And what useful packages would come in!It should be possible to hack off a bit of ice and transport it!Alternatively perhaps a passing iceberg could be captured.They are always breaking away from the main caps and floating around, pushed by currents, until they eventually melt and are wasted.Many icebergs are, of course, much too small to be towed any distance, and would melt before they reached a country that needed them anywhere.It would be necessary to harness one that was manageable and that was big enough to provide a good supply when it reached us.Engineers think that an iceberg up to 11 kilometres long and 2 kilometres wide could be transported if the tug pulling it was as big as a supertanker!Even then they would cover only 32 kilometres every day.However, once the iceberg was at its destination, say at one end of Hong Kong harbour, more than 7,000 million cubic metres of water could be taken from it!That would probably be more than enough for Hong Kong even in the hottest summer!But no doubt a use could be found for it.Apparently, scientists say, there would not be too much wastage in such a journey.The larger the iceberg, the slower it melts, even if it is towed through the tropics.This is because when the sun has a bigger area to warm up, less heat actually gets into the iceberg.The vast frozen center would be unaffected.Even with the giant tug that would have to be available to tow an iceberg seven miles long, the voyage would take many months from the Antarctic to Hong Kong, for example, but as stronger engines are built and more is known about sea currents, the journey could get shorter and shorter and thus the wastage less and less.Airline pilots have learnt to use jet streams ten miles above the earth to increase speed and save fuel so, surely, a boat towing an iceberg could make use of fast-flowing currents and avoid warmer water.1.The main idea of the first paragraph is that _____.（A）much of desert has been changed into rich farmland already

（B）the problem of drought could easily be solved all over the world

（C）ice from the polar area may be used to solve the problem of drought

（D）it is possible to solve the problem of drought in many countries

（B）are eventually wasted while floating around

（C）melt more slowly in tropics than in any other areas

（D）are often too big to be of any value

3.The difficulty of using ice to solve the drought problem lies in all of the following

EXCEPT _____.（A）the proper equipment for transportation

（B）the time taken on the journey

（C）the storage of the fresh water

（D）the proper size of icebergs

4.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

（A）The time for towing icebergs may be made shorter.（B）It is possible to use ships to tow icebergs from the polar areas.（C）Airline pilots may make use of jet streams to help towing an iceberg.（D）Not too much of the iceberg would melt while being towed through the oceans.5.The author s attitude towards the solution to the problem of drought is _____.（A）doubtful

（B）positive

（C）discouraging

（D）critical

Questions 6--10

Most sore throats are caused by an infection which treatment with antibiotics cannot cure.But with simple remedies the patient normally gets better in 4 or 5 days.Sore throats are common.Most of the time the soreness is worse in the morning and improves as the day progresses.Like colds, the vast majority of sore throats are caused by viral infections.This means most sore throats will NOT respond to antibiotics.Many people have a mild sore throat at the beginning of every cold.When the nose or sinuses become infected, drainage can run down the back of the throat and irritate it, especially at night.Or, the throat itself can be infected.With a sore throat, sometimes the tonsils or surrounding parts of the throat are inflamed.Either way, removing the tonsils to try to prevent future sore throats is not recommended for most children.Tonsillitis, however, usually starts with a sore throat which causes pain on swallowing.With children-and some adults-there may be a fever and the patient is obviously not feeling well.It may be possible to see white spots on the back of the throat.The neck may also swell, both of which are the normal response to infection.Sometimes a sore throat may occur with the common cold, and with influenza there may be dryness of the throat, pain on coughing and loss of voice.TREATMENT:

Aspirin: To help relieve the pain on swallowing and（if there is one）the fever.Use aspirin tablets dissolved in water so that the patient can gargle before swallowing.Repeat the treatment every 4 hours.Drink: Encourage the patient to drink plenty.Food: Food should not be forced on a patient who does not want to eat.Steam: If there is pain in the throat on coughing, breathing in steam may help.CHILDREN:

Young children, who may not be able to gargle, should be given aspirin dissolved in water every 4 hours in the right dose for their age.At one year: A single junior aspirin.At five years: Half an adult aspirin.At eight years: One whole adult aspirin.WHEN TO SEE THE DOCTOR:

If the sore throat it still getting worse after 2 days.If the patient complains of earache.It the patient s fever increases.If the patient or parent is very worried.6.According to the passage, it would appear that most sore throats _____.（A）require an immediate visit to a doctor

（B）respond quickly to treatment with an antibiotic

（C）rarely turn out to be serious illnesses

（D）result in tonsillitis even when treated

7.One of the signs of tonsillitis can often be _____.（A）difficulty in swallowing food and liquid

（B）pain in the chest when the patient coughs

（C）white spots appearing on the neck

（D）earache during the first four or five days

8.In order to treat a sore throat one should _____.（A）prevent the patient from eating too much

（B）give the patient up to 4 aspirin tablets every hour

（C）make sure the patient takes in plenty of liquid

（D）make the patient gargle with soft drink

9.You should call the doctor in if _____.（A）the infection spreads to another member of the family

（B）swelling occurs in the region of the ears

（C）the patient s voice is lost after two days

（D）the patient s condition continues to worsen

10.As used in the passage, the word “gargle” means _____.（A）to wash one s mouth and throat with a liquid in motion by breathing through it

（B）to eat something with a continuous and often audible action of one saws

（C）to bite and work in the mouth with one s teeth, especially to make it easier to swallow something

（D）to cause or allow something, especially food or drink, to pass down one s sore throat

Questions 11--15

I watched as Dr Ian Stead, the archaeologist in charge of the excavation, began carefully removing the peat with a clay modeling tool.X-rays taken through the box while it was at the hospital revealed ribs, backbone, arm bones and a skull（apparently with fractures）。However, the bones showed up only faintly because acid in the peat had removed minerals from them.Using the X-rays, Stead started on what he thought might be a leg.By his side was Professor Frank Oldfield, of Liverpool University, an expert on peat who could identify vegetation from stems only a fraction of an inch long.“Similar bodies found in bogs in Denmark show signs of a violent death,” Stead said.“It is essential for us to be able to distinguish between the plant fibres in peat and clothing or a piece of rope which might have been used to hang him.”

As Stead continued his gentle probing, a brown leathery limb began to materialize amidst the peat;but not until most of it was exposed could he and Robert Connolly, a physical anthropologist at Liverpool University, decide that it was an arm.Beside it was a small piece of animal fur-perhaps the remains of clothing.Following the forearm down into the peat, Stead found a brown shiny object and then, close by, two more.Seen under a magnifying glass, he suddenly realized they were fingernails-“beautifully manicured and without a scratch on them,” he said.“Most people at this time in the Iron Age were farmers;but with fingernails like that, this person can t have been.He might have been a priest or an aristocrat.” Especially delicate work was required to reveal the head.On the third day, a curly sideburn appeared and, shortly afterwards, a moustache.At first it seemed that the man had been balding but gradually he was seen to have close-cropped hair, about an inch or two long.“This information about his hairstyle is unique.We have no other information about what Britons looked like before the Roman invasion except for three small plaques showing Celts with drooping moustaches and shaven chins.”

The crucial clue showing how the man died had already been revealed, close to his neck, but it looked just like another innocent heather root.It was not recognized until two days later, when Margaret McCord, a senior conservation officer, found the same root at the back of his neck and, cleaning it carefully, saw its twisted texture.“He has been garroted.” She declared.The ?root was a length of twisted sinew, the thickness of strong string.A slip knot at the back shows how it was tightened round the neck.“A large discoloration on the left shoulder suggests a bruise and possibly a violent struggle,” Stead said.11.The X-rays that were taken showed Stead and Oldfield _____.（A）a vague picture of the bones

（B）exactly what they were looking for

（C）which deposits were clay and which peat

（D）exactly how the man had died

12.The researchers suspected the man had met a violent death because _____.（A）he was still wearing clothes

（B）similar bodies had been found elsewhere

（C）there were traces of a hanging rope in the peat

（D）he hadn?t been buried in a coffin

13.It was the forearm they uncovered which _____.（A）required the most delicate work

（B）indicated the age of the man

（C）told them something about the man s clothes

（D）led them to discover the fingernails

14.Why did the researchers think the man was possibly a priest?

（A）He had closely-cropped hair.（B）His coat was fur-lined

（C）He had a drooping moustache and shaven chin.（D）His fingernails were well looked after.15.It was established that the man they dug out of the peat had been _____.（A）beheaded

（B）strangled

（C）drowned

（D）stabbed in the neck

Questions 16--20

Does using a word processor affect a writer s style? The medium usually does do something to the message after all, even if Marshall McLuhan s claim that the medium simply is the message has been heard and largely forgotten now.The question matters.Ray Hammond, in his excellent guide The Writer and the Word Processor（Coronet ￡2.95 pp224），predicts that over half of the professional writers in Britain and the USA will be using word processors by the end of 1995.The best-known recruit is Len Dighton, from as long ago as 1968, though most users have only started since the micro-computer boom began in 1980.Ironically word processing is in some ways psychologically more like writing in rough than typing, since it restores fluidity and provisionally to the text.The typists dread of having to get out the Tippex, the scissors and paste, or of redoing the whole thing if he has any substantial second thoughts, can make him consistently choose the safer option in his sentences, or let something stand which he knows to be unsatisfactory or incomplete, out of weariness.In word processing the text is loosened up whilst still retaining the advantage of looking formally finished.This has, I think, two apparently contradictory effects.The initial writing can become excessively sloppy and careless, in the expectation that it will be corrected later.That crucial first inspiration is never easy to recapture though, and therefore, on the other hand, the writing can become over-deliberated, lacking in flow and spontaneity, since revision becomes a larger part of composition.However these are faults easier to detect in others than in oneself.For most writers, word processing quite rapidly comes to feel like the ideal method（and can always be a second step after drafting on paper if you prefer）。Most of the writers interviewed by Hammond say it has improved their style（“immensely”，says Dighton）。Seeing your own words on a screen helps you to feel cool and detached about them.Thus it is not just by freeing you from the labour of mechanical re-typing that a word processor can help you to write.One author（Terence Feely）claims it has increased his output by 400%.Possibly the feeling of having a reactive machine, which appears to do things, rather than just have things done with it, accounts for this-your slave works hard and so do you.Are there no drawbacks? It costs a lot and takes time to learn-“expect to lose weeks of work”，says Hammond, though days might be nearer the mark.Notoriously it is possible to lose work altogether on a word processor, and this happens to everybody at least once.The awareness that what you have written no longer exists at all anywhere, is unbelievably enraging and baffling.16.According to the first paragraph of the passage, what is the obvious change for professional writers in Britain and the USA?

（A）The style they are employing.（B）The medium they are using.（C）The way they are being recruited.（D）The paper they are writing on.17.Typing in the conventional manner, a writer may _____.（A）choose to white more carefully

（B）make more mistakes

（C）become overcritical of his or her work

（D）have a lot of second thoughts

18.One effect of using a word processor may be that the ongoing revision of a text _____.（A）is done with too little attention

（B）produces a sloppy effect

（C）is lacking in flow and spontaneity

（D）does not encourage one to pick up mistakes

19.It is claimed here that word processors create _____.（A）a sense of power in the writer s mind

（B）a reluctance in the author to express himself or herself

（C）an illusion as if you were a servant of the machine

（D）a feeling of distance between a writer and his or her work

20.As far as learning to use a word processor is concerned, the author of the passage mentions a number of drawbacks EXCEPT that _____.（A）it takes time

（B）it is costly

（C）the user may rely too much on the machine

（D）the user may lose weeks of work

Questions 21--25

In almost all cases the soft parts of fossils are gone for ever but they were fitted around or within the hard parts.Many of them also were attached to the hard parts and usually such attachments are visible as depressed or elevated areas, ridges, or grooves, smooth or rough patches on the hard parts.The muscles most important for the activities of the animal and most evident in the appearance of the living animal are those attached to the hard parts and possible to reconstruct from their attachments.Much can be learned about a vanished brain from the inside of the skull in which it was lodged.Restoration of the external appearance of an extinct animal has little or no scientific value.It does not even help in inferring what the activities of the living animal were, how fast it could run, what its food was, or such other conclusions as are important for the history of life.However, what most people want to know about extinct animals is what they looked like when they were alive.Scientists also would like to know.Things like fossil shells present no great problem as a rule, because the hard parts are external when the animal is alive and the outer appearance is actually preserved in the fossils.Animals in which the skeleton is internal present great problems of restoration, and honest restorers admit that they often have to use considerable guessing.The general shape and contours of the body are fixed by the skeleton and by muscles attached to the skeleton, but surface features, which may give the animal its really characteristic look, are seldom restorable with any real probability of accuracy.The present often helps to interpret the past.An extinct animal presumably looked more or

less like its living relatives, if it has any.This, however, may be quite equivocal.For example, extinct members of the horse family are usually restored to look somewhat like the most familiar living horses-domestic horses and their closest wild relatives.It is, however, possible and even probable that many extinct horses were striped like zebras.Others probably had patterns no longer present in any living members of the family.If lions and tigers were extinct they would be restored to look exactly alike.No living elephants have much hair and mammoths, which are extinct elephants, would doubtless be restored as hairless if we did not happen to know that they had thick, woolly coats.We know this only because mammoths are so recently extinct that prehistoric men drew pictures of them and that the hide and hair have actually been found in a few specimens.For older extinct animals we have no such clues.21.According to the passage, the soft part of fossilized animals _____.（A）can always be accurately identified

（B）have usually left some traces

（C）can usually be reconstructed

（D）have always vanished without any trace

22.The muscles of a fossilized animal can sometimes be reconstructed because _____.（A）they were preserved with the rest of the animal

（B）they were lodged inside the animal s skull

（C）they were hardened parts of the animal s body

（D）they were attached to the animal s skeleton

23.The reconstruction of a fossilized animal s external appearance is considered necessary in order to _____.（A）satisfy popular curiosity

（B）answer scientific questions

（C）establish its activities

（D）determine its eating habits

24.The word “equivocal”（Para.3）means _____.（A）equally important

（B）definable

（C）equally doubtful

（D）deliberate

25.The third paragraph of the passage deals with the difficulties of restoring the following fossilized animals EXCEPT _____.（A）those which had complex internal structures

（B）those which had no external hard parts

（C）those which had fur-covered bodies

（D）those which had no living relatives

Questions 26-30

There is a basic hypothesis that the majority of serious motoring offences are derived from accidents, and there is nothing in the offender s personality or background that predisposes him to

break the law.If an accident is a chance event that happens so quickly and suddenly that it is beyond anyone s control to prevent it, then it is clear that this hypothesis is disproved.For only about 14 percent of the 653 offences considered in a recent survey could possibly be called inadvertent accidents in this sense, and even this estimate is stretching credulity to its limits.In the great majority of cases the offences were largely of the offenders own making.In 11per cent of the 653 cases and 21 percent of 43 offenders who were interviewed there was evidence of selfish, and even ruthless, self-interest, but it was not possible to infer personality disturbance in more than 25 per cent of the 653 and 39 per cent of the 43 offenders.Though the inferences with regard to personality traits may be an overestimate in the interpretation of qualitative data, they could equally be an underestimate, since so very little was ever recorded about the offenders themselves.The lack of data is a consequence of the almost total lack of interest in motoring offenders as persons.It must be assumed, therefore, in the absence of evidence to the contrary that the majority of serious motoring offenders considered in the survey were normal people, who succumbed to temptation when circumstances were favorable and it was expedient to take a chance, so perhaps there is something in the normal personality that predisposes a driver to break the law.Whatever it is, its presence is much more evident in males than in females, since the analysis of the national statistics shows a predominance of males over females of between 18:1 and 22:1.The real significance of these figures is hard to assess, because the relative proportions of each sex at risk are unknown.One research worker produced a ratio of six males to one female from his sample of insurance policy holders, but this is almost certainly an underestimate since many females-probably more than males-are likely to be driving on someone else s policy.A ration of three to one is probably nearer to the real state of affairs.Females reached noticeable proportions only among the hit-and-run drivers, and there seems to be some justification for calling this the ?feminine offence.The difference between the sexes in their relative propensity to break the law on the roads is important, because it shows that motoring offenders have a characteristic in common with offenders in other fields of criminal activity, where males predominate to a marked degree.One motor insurance underwriter recently announced his intention to offer discounts on premiums where the policy holder or the ?named driver was a woman.The basic hypothesis is further disproved by the very high incidence, among the offences studied, of failing to insure against third-party risks.Yet accidents brought to light only a very small percentage of this kind of crime.Moreover, it could not possibly be said that this, the most common of the serious offences, was brought about by providence.On the contrary, it can be regarded as a typical form of economic crime, which, although sometimes committed through inadvertence, is more usually quite deliberate and calculated.26.The word “hypothesis”（line 1）means _____.（A）a wrong belief

（B）an unproved theory

（C）a demonstrable idea

（D）a fundamental law

27.Inadequate statistical information about the personalities of motoring offenders is largely the result of _____.（A）the difficulty of interpreting the self-evident facts

（B）the inaccessibility of the police records

（C）scanty recorded evidence of the offenders themselves

（D）insufficient research into the recorded qualitative data

28.Women can sometimes get more favorable motoring insurance terms than men because statistically _____.（A）they are much better at controlling a car

（B）they are smaller and more important

（C）they are less likely to commit grave offences

（D）they are more unwilling to take out policies themselves

29.It can be inferred from the passage that _____.（A）women are unwilling to drive on someone else s policy

（B）women are more likely to be the hit-and-run drivers

（C）men are regarded as criminals in road accidents

（D）men are more likely to be insurance underwriters

30.A “third party”（Para.3）is essentially _____.（A）any insured woman driver

（B）the driver of an insured car

（C）a normal policy-holder

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANS WER BOOKLET.There is a growing number of economists who believe today s brutally tough labor market is not a temporary American oddity.Falling wages, reduced benefits and rising job insecurity seem to be increasingly entrenched features of the job scene across most of Western Europe, the United States and other parts of the developed world.The number of insecure freelance positions is rising（as are working hours）while stable jobs with good benefits are being cut.Laid-off workers are much less likely to be rehired by their old companies and have to find new jobs or turn to self-employment.Those who still have jobs are working longer hours with little prospect of meaningful raises.The new labor market is shaped by growing global competition, spurred by the rise of cheap

manufacturers in China, India and Eastern Europe, and the price-chopping effect of both the Internet and giant retailers led by Wal-Mart.These forces compel Western companies to exercise a growing restraint on prices and labor cost.One thing globalization clearly does is to exert a leveling effect on wages.SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST（2）（30 minutes）

Direction: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.本屆會(huì)議將圍繞“新世紀(jì)、新挑戰(zhàn)：參與、合作、促進(jìn)共同繁榮”的主題，審議 5 個(gè)方面的議題，以期促進(jìn)亞太地區(qū)和全球經(jīng)貿(mào)的發(fā)展。

今年的亞太經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易合作組織會(huì)議將主要側(cè)重兩個(gè)方面：一是加強(qiáng)亞太經(jīng)合組織成員之間的合作，共同應(yīng)對(duì)可能出現(xiàn)的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退，重樹信心；二是繼續(xù)推進(jìn)亞太經(jīng)合組織貿(mào)易投資自由化進(jìn)程，推動(dòng)世界貿(mào)易組織盡早開始新一輪談判。

分析：

① 本屆會(huì)議將圍繞“新世紀(jì)、新挑戰(zhàn)：參與、合作、促進(jìn)共同繁榮”的主題，審議 5 個(gè)方面的議題，以期促進(jìn)亞太地區(qū)和全球經(jīng)貿(mào)的發(fā)展。

譯文 1 ： This meeting will discuss the topic of “new century, new challenge: participate , cooperate and promote common prosperity covering 5 areas with a view to enhancing the development of economy and trade between the Asian-Pacific region and the rest world.譯文 2 ： This meeting will center round the theme of “Meeting new challenges in the new century: achieving common prosperity through participation and cooperation” under 5 heads with a view to promoting the economic and trade development in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.考點(diǎn)： 意譯：“新世紀(jì)、新挑戰(zhàn)：參與、合作、促進(jìn)共同繁榮”如譯文 1 翻譯純粹采取直譯，把字面意思翻譯出來(lái)，而譯文 2 把這句話的含義翻譯出來(lái)，值得推薦。

轉(zhuǎn)性譯法：動(dòng)詞 → 名詞 參與 →participation 合作 →cooperation

② 今年的亞太經(jīng)濟(jì)貿(mào)易合作組織會(huì)議將主要側(cè)重兩個(gè)方面：一是加強(qiáng)亞太經(jīng)合組織成員之間的合作，共同應(yīng)對(duì)可能出現(xiàn)的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退，重樹信心；二是繼續(xù)推進(jìn)亞太經(jīng)合組織貿(mào)易投資自由化進(jìn)程，推動(dòng)世界貿(mào)易組織盡早開始新一輪談判。

譯文 1 ： The APEC meeting in this year will focus mainly on two aspects: one is on strengthening the cooperation among all the APEC members to cope with the possible economic recession through rebuilding up confidence;the other is on promoting the liberalization of trade and investment of APEC for the start of a new round of negotiations/talks for WTO.譯文 2 ： This year’s APEC meeting will focus on two key missions: one is to strengthen the cooperation among APEC members in dealing with a possible economic slowdown to build up new confidence;the other is to continue to advance the process of APEC trade and invest liberalization and facilitation and urge the WTO to initiate a new round of talks as soon as possible.考點(diǎn)： 增詞譯法：“一是加強(qiáng)” →one is on strengthening，因?yàn)榍敖?focus mainly on，因此增加 on 介詞。

99年9月

每年春季，數(shù)以萬(wàn)計(jì)的中外客商云集申城，參加一年一度的華東出口品交易會(huì)。上海各類商品在這里與全國(guó)各地一比短長(zhǎng)。上海的優(yōu)勢(shì)在于科技實(shí)力，因此高技術(shù)產(chǎn)口的出口應(yīng)成為上海外貿(mào)出口增長(zhǎng)的“排頭兵”。

著名物理學(xué)家楊振寧教授曾說(shuō)：“高科技戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)是中國(guó)超越發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的主戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)，也是最后的戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)。”走發(fā)展高科技貿(mào)易之路，是歷史的必然，也是末來(lái)的需要。

Every spring hundreds of thousands of domestic and foreign businessmen swarm into Shanghai to attend the annual East China Export Commodity Trade Fair.Here, all kinds of goods from Shanghai compete with the goods from other places in China.The advantage of Shanghai lies in its advanced scientific and technological strength, therefore the export of high-tech products should take the lead in increasing Shanghai’s foreign trade and export.Professor Yang Zhenning, a famous physicist, once said, “The high-tech battlefield is the main and the last battlefield for China to overtake the developed countries.” It is not only indispensable in history, but also necessary in the future to develop by way of promoting high-tech trade.98年3月

深圳機(jī)場(chǎng)為方便旅客，設(shè)置了4 間更衣室。室內(nèi)設(shè)備齊全。旅客可以輕松愉快的環(huán)境中更換衣服，整理儀容，給前來(lái)迎接的親朋好友留下良好的第一印象。

As the nation’s earliest established special economic zone, Shenzhen has very close economic contacts with the innerland provinces.Especially after the returning of Hongkong to the motherland, the number of passengers coming and leaving Shenzhen is increasing rapidly.Shenzhen Airport claims to be one of the ten largest airports in the country.Because Shenzhen is located in the subtropical zone, there exists quite big temperature difference between the city and northern areas in China.So the passengers from the north are always anxious to take off their overdressed warm clothes for the first important thing to do after landing in order to adapt themselves to the local temperature.For the convenience of the passengers, Shenzhen Airport Administration set up 4 well-furnished changerooms.The passengers can change their clothes, tidy themselves up in the easy and pleasant surroundings, so as to leave a good first impression on the relatives and friends who come to meet them at the airport.99年3月

澳門，南海之濱一顆閃耀的明珠，以她的風(fēng)采、滄桑和輝煌，更以1999年12月20日這個(gè)不同尋常的日子，吸引著全世界的目光。

自古以來(lái)，澳門就是中國(guó)的領(lǐng)土，中華兒女世世代代在這里繁衍生息。

早在80年代，世紀(jì)偉人鄧小平就提出了“一國(guó)兩制”的偉大構(gòu)想。1997年7月1日，中華人民共和國(guó)恢復(fù)對(duì)香港行使主權(quán)。今年，澳門又將徹底結(jié)束外國(guó)管治，回到祖國(guó)懷抱，這是中華民族的又一件歷史盛事，它標(biāo)志著中國(guó)人民向著祖國(guó)統(tǒng)一的偉大目標(biāo)又邁出了重大的步。澳門的明天一定會(huì)更好美好。

Macao, a sparking pearl in the coast of China, catches the world’s attention for her charm, her experiences of various changes and her bright achievements, and moreover, for the unusual date of December 20, 1999.Macao has been the territory of China ever since the ancient times.The Chinese people have been living and working there for generations.Early in the 80s, Mr.Deng Xiaoping, one of the great figures of the century, put forward the bold concept of “One Country, Two Systems”.On July 1, 1997, the People’s Republic of China resumed her sovereignty over Hong Kong.This year, Macao will completely get rid of the foreign regime and return to motherland.This is another great historical event for the Chinese people.It symbolizes another big step for the Chinese people on their way towards the great goal of the country’s reunification.Macao’s future is sure to be even brighter.99年9月

正在建設(shè)之中的浦東國(guó)際機(jī)場(chǎng)位于長(zhǎng)江入海口南岸的瀕海地帶，占地約32平方公里。根據(jù)上海社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展對(duì)航空業(yè)務(wù)量的需求，浦東國(guó)際機(jī)場(chǎng)的緊終設(shè)計(jì)能力是年旅客客運(yùn)量8000萬(wàn)人次，貨運(yùn)量500萬(wàn)噸。機(jī)場(chǎng)全部建成后，綠化覆蓋率將達(dá)到50%以上。浦東國(guó)際機(jī)場(chǎng)是一扇向天空開啟的大門，是一條與世界聯(lián)系的紐帶。人類即將進(jìn)入21世紀(jì)，人、自然、環(huán)境和建筑必將和諧、持續(xù)發(fā)展。

Pudong International Airport, now under construction, is located on the south bank of the Yangtze(Changjiang)estuary, covering an area of 32 square kilometres.To meet the demands of Shanghai's social and economic development for aviation services, the maximum design capacity of the airport is 80 million passengers and 5 million tons of freight annually.After the completion of the whole airport project, green space will account for over 50% of the area.Puuong International Airport is a gate open to the sky and a link connecting different parts of the world.As the 21st century is coming very near, man, nature, environment and construction will certainly develop in a harmonious and sustained way.00年3月

中華民族歷來(lái)愛好自由與和平。中國(guó)人始終希望天下太平，希望同各國(guó)人民友好相處。中國(guó)人民在近代飽受戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和侵略的痛苦，更深感自由與和平的珍貴。任何一個(gè)國(guó)家建設(shè)和發(fā)展，都需要一個(gè)和平穩(wěn)定的國(guó)際國(guó)內(nèi)環(huán)境。任何一個(gè)國(guó)家和民族的自由，都是一切個(gè)人自由的前提和基礎(chǔ)。我們希望各國(guó)人民都生活在沒有戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)和暴力的世界里，希望各國(guó)人民都能享有不被人壓迫、歧視和欺凌的自由。

The Chinese people have been a freedom-and-peace-loving nation.They have always hoped for the world to be at peace and the peoples of various countries to co-exist peacefully.Having suffered from wars and foreign aggression in modern times, the Chinese people treasure freedom and peace all the more.Every nation needs a peaceful and stable international and domestic environment for its construction and development.The freedom of a country or nation is the prerequisite and base of the freedom of any individual.We hope that all nations can live in a world free from war and violence and that people from all parts of the world can enjoy freedom without oppression, discrimination, bullying and humiliation.00年9月

中國(guó)政府在宣布實(shí)行和平統(tǒng)一的方針時(shí)，是基于一個(gè)前提，即當(dāng)時(shí)的臺(tái)灣當(dāng)局堅(jiān)持世界上只有一個(gè)中國(guó)、臺(tái)灣是中國(guó)的一部分。同時(shí)中國(guó)政府考慮到美國(guó)政府承認(rèn)了世界上只有一個(gè)中國(guó)、臺(tái)灣是中國(guó)的一部分、中華人民共和國(guó)政府是中國(guó)的唯一合法政府。

中國(guó)政府在實(shí)行和平統(tǒng)一方針的同時(shí)始終表明，以何種方式解決臺(tái)灣問(wèn)題是中國(guó)的內(nèi)政，并無(wú)義務(wù)承諾放棄使用武力。

The declaration by the Chinese government to implement the policy of peaceful reunification was based on the prerequisite that the then Taiwan authorities insisted that there is only on China in the world and that Taiwan is a part of China.At the same time, the Chinese government took into consideration the fact that the US government recognized that there is only one China in the world, that Taiwan is a part of China and that the Government of the People’s Republic of China is the only legitimate government of China.While implementing the policy of peaceful reunification, the Chinese government has all along made it clear that it is an internal affair of China to decide on what method to use to resolve the Taiwan issue and that we have no obligation to commit ourselves to rule out the use of force.01年3月

據(jù)調(diào)查，我國(guó)有40％的青少年除了課本外不看其他書籍。對(duì)此，我感到極為震驚。雖然有關(guān)人士聲稱調(diào)查具有科學(xué)性，我仍不敢相信。不過(guò)盡管懷疑，事實(shí)卻是，越來(lái)越多的年輕人在業(yè)余時(shí)間已不再讀書，而是看電視、跳舞、打電子游戲機(jī)，或者“侃大山”。高爾基說(shuō)過(guò)：“書籍是人類進(jìn)步的階梯。”眾所周知，書籍是人類智慧的結(jié)晶。盡管現(xiàn)代傳媒（如電視、計(jì)算機(jī)）在信息的傳播速度上有許多優(yōu)勢(shì)，但到目前為止，還沒有哪一種在傳播知識(shí)的深度方面能取代書籍。According to a survey, about 40% of our country’s youth do not read any books other than their textbooks.I am shocked at the result.I remain suspicious of the survey, though the people concerned claim it to be scientific.Despite my suspicion, the fact is that more and more young people, instead of reading, spend their spare time watching TV, going to dance parties, playing video games or chitchatting.Gorgy once said:“Books are steps toward human progress.”As we all know, books is a crystallization of human wisdom.Although modern media such as TV and computers enjoy advantages in the speed of information dissemination, so far none of them can replace books in respect of the depth of knowledge being spread.01年9月

本屆會(huì)議將圍繞“新世紀(jì)、新挑戰(zhàn)：參與、合作、促進(jìn)共同繁榮”的主題，審議5個(gè)方面的議題，以期促進(jìn)亞太地區(qū)和全球經(jīng)貿(mào)的發(fā)展。

今年的APEC會(huì)議將主要側(cè)重兩個(gè)方面：一是加強(qiáng)APEC成員之間的合作，共同應(yīng)對(duì)可能出現(xiàn)的經(jīng)濟(jì)衰退，重樹信心；二是繼續(xù)推進(jìn)APEC貿(mào)易投資自由化進(jìn)程，推動(dòng)WTO盡早開始新一輪談判。

This year's meeting will, centering round the theme of“Meeting new challenges in the new century: achieving common prosperity through participation and cooperation,” review the agenda covering 5 areas with a view to promoting the economic and trade development in the Asia-Pacific region and the world at large.This year's APEC meeting will focus on 2 key missions: one is to strengthen the cooperation among APEC members in dealing with a possible economic slowdown to build up new confidence;the other is to continue to advance the process of APEC trade and investment liberalization and facilitation and urge the WTO to initiate a new round talks as soon as possible.02年3月

我總以為，在中國(guó)效率最高的會(huì)議要數(shù)學(xué)校召集的家長(zhǎng)會(huì)。家長(zhǎng)會(huì)完全符合“廉政建設(shè)”的要求，與會(huì)的家長(zhǎng)絕不會(huì)像參加行業(yè)、單位的一些會(huì)議，先看看會(huì)議地點(diǎn)是不是設(shè)在風(fēng)景旅游區(qū)，會(huì)后發(fā)不發(fā)紀(jì)念品之類，然后方?jīng)Q定是否參加。其他會(huì)議都難得準(zhǔn)時(shí)，惟有家長(zhǎng)會(huì)絕對(duì)正點(diǎn)召開。在家長(zhǎng)會(huì)上，家長(zhǎng)們個(gè)個(gè)全神貫注地傾聽、記錄，生怕漏掉一點(diǎn)內(nèi)容。不少會(huì)議都可列入可開可不開之列，但對(duì)于學(xué)校和家長(zhǎng)而言，家長(zhǎng)會(huì)則是必不可少的。

I always believe that the most efficient meeting in China is the parents’ meeting called by the school.The parents’ meeting, is in full conformity with the requirements for the “building of an honest and clean government”.With respect to meetings organized by a certain trade or the unit where one works, the person wants to know whether the venue of a meeting is in a scenic area frequented by tourists and whether gifts of souvenirs will be handed out after the meeting before he decides whether to go or not to go.But for the parents’ meeting, nobody will ever think of that.While other meetings are rarely convened on time, the parents’ meeting invariably starts with punctuality.At the parents’ meeting, every parent listens and takes notes with rapt attention lest he or she might miss anything.For many meetings, it does not really matter whether they are to be held or not, but to the school and the parents, the parents’ meeting is absolutely necessary.4 02年9月

到2007年，上海市人均國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值預(yù)計(jì)將達(dá)到7500美元。這一目標(biāo)的實(shí)現(xiàn)，最直接的應(yīng)該是老百姓住得更寬敞、更舒適了。因?yàn)閺氖忻竦摹耙隆⑹场⒆　⑿小毕M(fèi)來(lái)講，住房是一個(gè)重要因素，而且占了大頭。屆時(shí)，上海人均住房面積會(huì)大幅增加。除此之外，老百姓的服務(wù)性消費(fèi)，如教育、信息、旅游等消費(fèi)也會(huì)大量增長(zhǎng)。用一句話來(lái)表述，那便是未來(lái)老百姓的生活會(huì)更好，那時(shí)的老百姓的生活將和中等發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的居民一樣。

The per capita GDP in Shanghai is expected to reach US $7500 by 2007.The common people should benefit most directly from the attainment of this goal.They will live more comfortably in bigger space.Among the basic necessities of life—food, clothing, shelter and transportation—housing is an important element, accounting for a big portion in the money they spend.In 2007, the average per capita living space in Shanghai will increase by a big margin.In addition, the common people’s spending on such services as education, information and traveling will grow substantially.To put it in a nutshell, in the future the common people will live a better life, a life of the same standard as enjoyed by those in the middle-ranking developed countries.03年3月

中國(guó)堅(jiān)定不移地走和平發(fā)展道路，是基于中國(guó)國(guó)情的必然選擇。1840年鴉片戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)以后的100多年里，中國(guó)受盡了列強(qiáng)的欺辱。消除戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)，實(shí)現(xiàn)和平，建設(shè)獨(dú)立富強(qiáng)、民生幸福的國(guó)家，是近代以來(lái)中國(guó)人民孜孜以求的奮斗目標(biāo)。今天的中國(guó)雖然取得了巨大的發(fā)展成就，但人口多，底子薄，發(fā)展不平衡，仍然是世界上最大的發(fā)展中國(guó)家。推動(dòng)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展，不斷改善人民生活始終是中國(guó)的中心任務(wù)。堅(jiān)持走和平發(fā)展道路，是中國(guó)實(shí)現(xiàn)國(guó)家富強(qiáng)、人民幸福的必由之路。中國(guó)人民最需要、最珍愛和平的國(guó)際環(huán)境，愿盡自己所能，為推動(dòng)各國(guó)共同發(fā)展作出積極貢獻(xiàn)。

China’s firm stand on peaceful development is only natural, given the country’s unique situation.In the ensuing 100 plus years after the Opium War of 1840, China suffered great humiliation at the hands of the world’s big powers.The Chinese people have, throughout the modern times, yearned and sought for a peaceful, independent, prosperous and happy life free from wars.Despite the tremendous growth we are witnessing in China today, the country is still faced with a large population, a weak economic foundation and rather uneven development.It is still, as it were, the largest developing country in the world.China’s major focus, therefore, is on socio-economic development and continued improvement of people’s livelihood.The only way to achieve prosperity for China and happiness for its people is by sticking to the path of peaceful development.The Chinese people will try their utmost to promote and contribute to common development among nations and, in order to do that, they need and cherish to the highest degree a peaceful international environment.08年9月

據(jù)消息靈通人士透露，今年春節(jié)前，家樂福才與新大新發(fā)生“第一次親密接觸”，其中廣州市政府無(wú)疑起了“紅娘”的作用。短短幾個(gè)月時(shí)間，雙方“情投意合”。外界關(guān)心的是：家樂福到底看中新大新什么地方？

對(duì)此，新大新總經(jīng)理何先生沒有作出正面的回應(yīng)，只是籠統(tǒng)地陳述在廣州的百貨業(yè)中新大新有自己獨(dú)特的一面。據(jù)何先生透露，這次新大新出資持有新組建的公司35%的股份，家樂福占65%:“這是按照國(guó)家有關(guān)部門政策，即中方持股不得少于35%的規(guī)定厘定的”。

According to a well-informed source, before this year’s Spring Festival, Carrefour made its “first intimate contact” with Xindaxin company.Without doubt the Guangzhou Municipal Government served as the “matchmaker”.The two parties “had an affinity for each other” in only a few months.What on earth is Xindaxin’s appeal to Carrefour? It is of great concern to the outsiders / the public.Mr He, general manager of Xindaxin, instead of giving any positive response to this question, just made a general/ambiguous reply that Xindaxin boasts its uniqueness in the department stores industry in Guangzhou.Mr He disclosed that Xindaxin holds 35% of the shares of the newly-established company while Carrefour owns the other 65%: “which is in conformity with the policies of departments concerned, stipulating that the Chinese side must hold no less than 35% of the shares.”

鐘表上的秒針一下一下地移動(dòng)，每移動(dòng)一下就是表示我們的壽命已經(jīng)縮短了一部分。再看看墻上掛著的可以一張張撕下的日歷，每天撕下一張就是表示我們的壽命又縮短了一天。

Our life is shortened by every tick of the second hand of the clock.Each page peeled away from the wall calendar marks a bygone day.Time is life, while life is cherished by everybody, but time, by few.How can we achieve something in our brief life?

有兩個(gè)大款附庸風(fēng) 雅，參加一個(gè)冷餐會(huì)，與會(huì)者自然不乏真正的名流學(xué)者。席間，一個(gè)學(xué)者與其中的大款甲閑聊，話題不知怎么扯到莎士比亞身上。學(xué)者問(wèn)大款甲：“先生是否對(duì)莎士 比亞最感興趣？”大款甲頓了頓，隨即正色說(shuō)：“相比之下，還是威士忌合我口味。”這時(shí)，大家都暗自竊笑。大款乙也看出了苗頭，悻悻然走開。在回來(lái)的小車 上，大款乙教 訓(xùn)大款甲說(shuō)：“你真一點(diǎn)都不懂，莎士比亞是飲料，你怎么把它當(dāng)洋酒了！”

Two big shots attended a buffet reception, trying to pose as lovers of culture, for the participants included some real scholars of distinction.During the reception, a scholar chatted with Tycoon A and somehow the topic shifted to Shakespeare.The scholar asked, “Are you most interested in Shakespeare?” The big shot paused and announced with a severe countenance: “In comparison, whiskey is more to my taste.” Hearing that, all the listeners laughed up their sleeves.Tycoon B saw the straw in the wind and left resentfully.On their way home in the car, Tycoon B lectured Tycoon A: “ How could you be that ignorant!Shakespeare is a beverage, and you are foolish enough to take that as an imported spirit!”

2010年翩然而至，全球24個(gè)時(shí)區(qū)的萬(wàn)千鐘聲，此起彼伏，宣告在這人類新千年中，一個(gè)10年代的終結(jié)，又是另一個(gè)10年代的開始。在開局的10年中，中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)在前9年連續(xù)9年保持著9%以上的增長(zhǎng)。最后一年，雖受國(guó)際金融風(fēng)暴影響，但依然能保持8%的高增長(zhǎng)。

中國(guó)猶如中流砥柱，力挽狂瀾，使全球目光，再次聚焦于東方。一年多的實(shí)踐，終使曙光再現(xiàn)。全人類定能以集體的智慧，攻堅(jiān)克難，度過(guò)難關(guān)，必將是柳暗花明又一村的新局面。

With the approaching of 2010, the ringing of bells in 24 time zones around the globe echoes one after another, announcing the lapse of the first decade in the new millennium and the start of another 10 years.Over the past ten years, China’s economy maintained a successive 9% increase for nine years since the beginning of the 21st century and still a 8% growth in the last year of the past decade, albeit influenced by global financial storm.Functioning like a mainstay that makes vigorous endeavors to turn the tide, China, once again, draws global attraction to the East.A silver lining is emerging again after a year-round practice.As long as all the mankind conquer adversities, override difficulties with collective wisdom, there is bound to be a way out.10年9月

說(shuō)起上海老城，總會(huì)讓人和古老傳統(tǒng)的東西聯(lián)系起來(lái)，比如明代的豫園和清代的城隍廟。上海建城有700多年歷史，但最具人文發(fā)展歷史的時(shí)期是開埠后的150年間，諸如華洋雜居、石庫(kù)門、老字號(hào)等等，都發(fā)生在開埠后的上海。

流傳于老城內(nèi)外的民間文化，豐富多彩。著名的“上海老城人物風(fēng)情畫卷”生動(dòng)地描繪了上海老城市民的生活百態(tài)。上海老城市歷史文明與現(xiàn)代文明的兼容并蓄，無(wú)論上海城市發(fā)展如何日新月異，她仍將記錄著上海城市發(fā)展的歷史華章。

The old town of Shanghai, when it is mentioned, is always associated with the past and the tradition, something such as the Yuyuan Garden in the Ming Dynasty and the Town God’s Temple(or the City God Temple / Chenghuangmiao)in the Qing Dynasty.Despite a history of more than 700 years, it is the 150 years since its opening to foreign trades that enjoyed the most spelendid/ greatest humane development of Shanghai.During that period, scenes appeared such as the co-inhabitation of Chinese foreigners, the building of Shikumen, and the growth of time-honored firms.Various and colorful folk cultures have gained popularity in and out of Shanghai’s old town, which has been proved in the famous “The Painting Scroll of Local Residents in Shanghai’s Old Town”, a vivid depiction of the lives of local residents in every aspect.Despite the ever-changing advances of Shanghai, its old town, an inclusive combination of ancient and modern civilization, will still serve as a glorious chapter in the history of the development of Shanghai city.11年3月

豫園是上海著名的古典園林，已有400多年的歷史。花園設(shè)計(jì)獨(dú)特，具有明清兩代南方的建筑藝術(shù)的風(fēng)格。園內(nèi)共有40余景，景色自然迷人，亭臺(tái)樓閣、假山池塘和諧對(duì)稱、協(xié)調(diào)均衡，其布局之精致自古聞名江南。

豫園原為明代一位大官的私家花園，始建于1559年，直到20年后才建成。此后曾幾經(jīng)變遷，屢遭摧殘。所幸的是，從1949年上海解放時(shí)，園內(nèi)的主要景點(diǎn)尚完好無(wú)損。從1956年開始，豫園經(jīng)過(guò)多次修繕，重現(xiàn)其昔日光彩。

The Yuyuan Garden is a renowned classical garden located in Shanghai that enjoys a history of over 400 years.With delicate design, it boasts the architectural style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.40 attractive scenic spots dot the garden, including pavilions, pagodas, ponds and rockeries, with each adding radiance to one another.The Yuyuan Garden tops South China for its delicacy and elegance.The Garden was originally the private garden of a governor in the Ming Dynasty.Its initial construction started in 1559, but it was not completed until two decades later.The Garden was repeated destroyed under vicissitudes;fortunately, its major scenic spots remained intact in 1949 when Shanghai was liberated.The Garden regained its splendor after several renovations starting from 1956.11年9月

越來(lái)越多受英文教育的海外華人父母，已經(jīng)認(rèn)識(shí)到孩子在掌握不可或缺的英文的同時(shí)，也通曉中文的重要性。中國(guó)的崛起，讓他們充分認(rèn)識(shí)到孩子掌握雙語(yǔ)的好處——既能增加他們的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)，也能讓他們接觸和熟悉東西方兩種不同的文化。

這些人對(duì)中文的態(tài)度幾乎沒有完全改變。曾幾何時(shí)，他們還非常驕傲地宣稱自己只懂英文。現(xiàn)在，他們已開始積極支持孩子學(xué)習(xí)中文和中國(guó)文化，而且還不時(shí)走訪中國(guó)，欣賞壯觀的自然風(fēng)光，認(rèn)識(shí)豐富的文化遺產(chǎn)。

An increasing number of English-educated Chinese parents overseas have come to the realization that while English learning is indispensable to their children, it is essential that their kids have a good command of Chinese.China’s rise has fully awakened their awareness of the fact that their kids can benefit from their bilingual ability which can not only enhance their competitiveness in the job market, but also facilitate their exposure to and familiarity with the two different cultures between the East and the West.They have hardly changed their attitudes towards Chinese.At one time they proudly declared that they knew English only.Now, they have begun to give full support to their kids learning Chinese and its culture, and they also make occasional visits to China, where they can enjoy its magnificent natural landscape and get to know its rich cultural heritage.12年3月

吸煙之危害，可謂大矣，其嚴(yán)重性是不能低估的。吸煙污染空氣，損害健康，使肺癌發(fā)病率大大增加。為了使各國(guó)人民關(guān)注煙草的盛行及預(yù)防吸煙導(dǎo)致的疾病和死亡，世界衛(wèi)生組織已將每年的5月31日定為“世界無(wú)煙日”。

癮君子們說(shuō)，一天飯不吃可以，一個(gè)時(shí)辰不抽煙就難捱了，不能戒。只要真正意識(shí)到吸 煙有百害而無(wú)一利，于人于己都是一種禍害，就有可能下決心擺脫煙草的誘惑。戒煙貴在堅(jiān)持，堅(jiān)持下去就是收獲。

Smoking does great harm to human and its gravity should not be underestimated.Smoking pollutes air, damages health, and increases the incidence of lung cancer.To arouse the awareness about the prevalence of tobacco in all the countries and to prevent smoking-induced diseases and deaths, the WHO(World Health Organization)has defined May 31st in every year as World No-Tobacco Day.The tobacco addicts say that smoking is impossible to quit because they could do without meals in a day but would feel tortured without tobacco in two hours.However, when one realizes that smoking is harmful in many ways but beneficial in no way and that it is a curse to others as well as to he himself, he will be determined to resist the temptation of tobacco.To quit smoking requires persistence and so long as one persists, he’ll be rewarded.12年9月

亞洲人民深知，世界上沒有放之四海而皆準(zhǔn)的發(fā)展模式，也沒有一成不變的發(fā)展道路，亞洲人民勇于變革創(chuàng)新，不斷開拓進(jìn)取，探索和開辟適應(yīng)時(shí)代潮流，符合自身實(shí)際的發(fā)展道路，為經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展打開了廣闊前景。

In modern times, Asia experienced twists and turns in its development.To change their destiny, the people of Asia have been forging ahead in an indomitable spirit and with hard struggle.Asia's development achievements today are the result of the persistent efforts of the industrious and talented Asian people.The people of Asia are fully aware that there is no ready model or unchanging path of development that is universally applicable.They never shy away from reform and innovation.Instead, they are committed to exploring and finding development paths that are in line with the trend of the times and their own situations, and have opened up bright prospects for economic and social development.13年3月

朝氣蓬勃，充滿活力，豐富多彩的上海是現(xiàn)代中國(guó)的縮影。雖然上海的文化遺跡不能與北京媲美，但是上海迷人的城市風(fēng)貌，風(fēng)格各異的萬(wàn)國(guó)建筑為這座城市注入了無(wú)限的魅力。今日之上海，已經(jīng)成為享譽(yù)中外的國(guó)際大都市。

Shanghai is a dynamic, diverse and stimulating city the very epitome of modern China.Though Shanghai cannot rival Beijing in cultural heritage, its varied architectural styles and cosmopolitan feel give it a charm of its own.Today's Shanghai has become a world-famous international metropolis.A walk through this booming city reveals many glimpses of its colorful past.Hidden amongst the skyscrapers are remains of the original Shanghai.They keep on showing how Shanghai has been developing fast and enormously since its opening as a commercial port in the late 19th century, especially after the founding of new China.13年9月

參考譯文：

We perceive the reform as a profound revolution, involving adjustment of relationships among major stakeholders and improvement of multiple systems and mechanisms.China’s reform has entered a phase of toughness and hardness.Confronted with the extraordinary difficulty in addressing problems in reforms, we need to gather all the courage and strength since hesitation will lead to no progress and even the deprivation of what we have accomplished.When it comes to fundamental issues, China, as a country of profound influences, can't afford any subversive mistake, which would be irretrievable upon emerging.We should keep both courageous exploration and prudent actions based on the standpoint of bravery and steady progress.Marching in the correct direction of the reform and opening-up, we should dare to challenge hard nuts, tough situations and longstanding problems so as to achieve the persistence and eternity of the reform and opening-up.14年9月

春節(jié)是我國(guó)民間最隆重、最熱鬧的一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日。春節(jié)時(shí)，家家戶戶都要做充足的準(zhǔn)備。節(jié)前十天左右，人們就開始忙碌著采購(gòu)年貨，為小孩子們添置新衣新帽，準(zhǔn)備過(guò)年時(shí)穿。另外，節(jié)前人們會(huì)在家門口貼上紅紙寫成的春聯(lián)，屋里張貼色彩鮮艷、寓意吉祥的年畫，窗戶上貼著窗花，門前掛上大紅燈籠或貼“福” 字。“福”字還可以倒貼，路人一念福倒了，也就意味著福氣到了。

Spring Festival is the most solemn traditional festival in China bustling with noise and excitement.During the Spring Festival, everything was in a state of preparedness for every family.About ten days before the festival, people began busy preparing special purchases, including new clothes and shoes for the children to embrace the new year.What’s more, people begin decorating their rooms featuring an atmosphere of rejoicing and festivity, which include Spring Festival couplets on red paper pasted on the door panels, red paper-cuttings on window glass and brightly colored New Year paintings with auspicious meanings on the wall, as well as red lanterns or the Chinese character ‘Fu’(meaning blessing or happiness)on the front door.The Chinese character ‘Fu’ can be pasted normally or upside down, signifying good futune because in Chinese the “reversed fu” is homophonic with “fu comes”, both being pronounced as “fudaole.”
