Part Ⅰ  Translation (100 points)

Section A: English to
Chinese (50 marks, 25 each)

1. Opera is expensive. But expensive things are not inevitably the
province of the rich unless we give up society’s power of choice. We can choose
to make opera, and other expensive forms of culture, accessible to those who
cannot individually pay for it. The question is: why should we? Nobody denies
the imperatives of food, shelter, defense, health and education. But even in a
prehistoric cave, mankind stretched out a hand not just to eat, drink or fight,
but also to draw. The impulse towards culture, the desire to express and
explore the world through imagination and representation is fundamental. In
Europe, this desire has found fulfillment in the masterpieces of our music,
art, literature and theatre. These masterpieces are the touchstones for the
possibilities to which human thought and imagination may aspire; they carry the
most profound message that can be sent from one human to another.

【参考译文】

欣赏歌剧是一种奢侈的享受。然而只要我们不放弃社会的选择权，昂贵的东西就不一定只有富人才能享受。如果愿意，我们完全可以使歌剧或其他昂贵的文化形式面向那些个体负担不起的普通大众。但问题是我们为什么要这么做？没有人会否认人类需要吃、住、防卫、健康以及接受教育。但是，即使是在史前时期的洞穴里，人们伸出手来不仅是为了吃饭、喝水或打仗，也有可能是要去画画。对文化的向往，以及通过想象和作品来表达、探索世界是人类的基本愿望。在欧洲，这种愿望在我们的音乐、艺术、文学杰作以及戏剧作品中得到了体现。这些杰作是试金石，通过它们可以看出人们的思想和想象力可能达到的高度，它们所包含的最为深刻的思想可以广泛传播。

2. In Paris, all the wine parties or buffet receptions held on various
occasions provide optimum opportunities to make friends with all varieties of
people. When encountering a stranger on such an occasion, an Asian would
invariably hand over his name card to the newly-met stranger with full
reverence, with both of his hands, even before he starts to converse with the
stranger. Such an act seems to have become an indispensable ritual
(formality/etiquette). By contrast, an average Frenchman seldom takes the
initiative to (offers to/volunteers to) present his name card. Instead, he
would simply walk away after an exchange of routine greetings or even some
aimless (random/casual) chat. Only when both sides become deeply engrossed
(engaged/involved) in their conversation and have the intention to make further
acquaintance with each other would they offer to give their name cards. It
would seem somehow bizarre if a French person offers his name card without
saying anything to the stranger in the first place.

【参考译文】

在巴黎，名目繁多的酒会、冷餐会是广交朋友的好机会。在这种场合陌生人相识，如果是亚洲人，他们往往在开口之前先毕恭毕敬地用双手把自己的名片呈递给对方，这好像是不可缺少的礼节。然而，法国人一般都不大主动递送名片，双方见面寒暄几句或是随意聊一番也就各自走开。只有当双方谈话投机，希望继续交往时，才会主动掏出名片。如果一个法国人和一个陌生人第一次见面不讲话就递名片，倒有些奇怪。

Section B: Chinese to
English (50 marks, 25 each)

1. 浪漫主义运动刚刚兴起的时候，人们争论的一个共同话题就是：人究竟是为了爱情还是为了金钱而结婚。年轻人一般比较看重爱情，而父母们则更看重金钱。在那个时期的小说中，这一难题得到了巧妙地解决、读到小说最后一页时，读者发现表面上一文不名的女主人公实际上是大笔财产的继承人。但在现实生活中，年轻人要是指望这样一种结局，多半会失望。

【参考译文】

On the rise of
the romantic movement, a subject on which people argue strongly was: people got
married out of love or of money? Young people generally valued love more, while
parents attached more importance on money. In the novels of the period, the
dilemma was felicitously solved by the discovery, on the last page, that the apparently
penniless heroine was really a great heiress. But in real life, if young people
are counting on such an ending, they will probably get disappointed.

2. 要知道读书时必须要“体会字里行间的意思”，才能学到更多的东西。我想劝告你在读书过程中做同样重要的一件事。我要劝告你“在字里行间评注”。如果你不这样做，就不可能最有效地进行阅读。有两种拥有书的方式。第一是付钱买下，建立财产权，就像你购买衣服和家具。但这种购买行为仅仅是拥有的前奏曲。只有当你使其成为你的一部分，才有全部拥有权，而使它成为自己的一部分的最好方式是阅读时进行字里行间的评注。举个例子可以使这一观点一目了然。你买一块牛排，把他从肉铺的冰柜里转放进你自己的冰柜里。从最重要的意义上讲，你只有食用它，使它融入你的血液里。才真正拥有了这块牛排。我认为书也是这样，只有吸收进你的血液里才会对你有好处。

【参考译文】

If you want to
learn more, you need to “understand the meaning between the lines”. Thus I
advise you to do another equally important thing during your reading: try to
make a comment on some important lines. If you fail to do so, you cannot go
through it effectively. There are two ways to own books. The first one is you
purchase this book and then have the ownership of it, which resembles your
buying of clothes and furniture. However, this act of purchase is only a start
for “truly owning it” and only if you remark on lines when reading can you
really own the book for it has become a part of your knowledge. Let’s take an
example to put it clearly: After you have bought a piece of steak, you put it
from the shop freezer to yours. In the most important sense, only if you eat
and digest it into your body can you truly own this steak. So is the case with
your reading. You benefit from it only you can really digest the book.

Part Ⅱ  Writing (50 points)

As to how to
learn about life, some people prefer listening to other’s advice while some

part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the
second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details.

the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

Write your
composition on ANSWER SHEET.

【参考范文】

The Best Way to Learn About Life

As we all know,
there are various ways for people to learn about life. Some people believe that
the best way of learning about life is by listening to the advice of families
and friends. Other people believe that the best way of learning about life is
through personal experience. In my opinion, I prefer the latter viewpoint.

Both learning
about life through personal experience and with the advice of others can help
you in their own ways. If you don’t have a lot of knowledge about something,
the advice of people you trust can be very valuable. They can tell you about
their own experiences, and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of a
situation. Then you can consider your own desires and needs and decide what you
should do. And before long you’ll have more experience of your own. When you’re
thinking about what you want to do with your life, friends and relatives are a
great resource. They can give you information about things like jobs, school,
volunteering, and traveling to other parts of the world. Because they’ve done a
lot of learning in their lives, you can use it to decide what you want to do
with yours. And you needn’t pay much for what you are supposed to learn in
study and work.

All the above
are advantages of learning about life by listening to the advice of other
people. In some cases, however, there’s no real substitute for personal experience.
For example, I really don’t like to make presentations in class. I know I’ll
make mistakes, even if I’m thoroughly prepared and know all about my topic.
Nothing but experience can help me deal with the nervousness I feel. I know
that the feedback I get from the teacher and from the other students will help
me learn from those mistakes. At least I’m confident that the next class
presentation I make will be much better than the former one. Frankly speaking,
sometimes you would not take sincere advice from your friends, for you are so
young that you have are prone to be arrogant about things. So even people speak
to you much about their opinions, you just let it go and totally are ignorant
of it. On the contrary, your personal experience would be a “precious teacher”,
for if you go wrong, you would pay for it, and it could not have been better if
you take right actions. I personally think an unforgettable experience would
serve as the best advice you get on your own.

In the end, I
think that the best way to learn about life is by experiencing it firsthand. No
one else can teach you how to get along with other people, how to realistically
judge your own abilities, or how to understand who you are. You can only learn
these things by dealing with situations every day. Don’t forget the old saying
“Experience is the best teacher”.

【解析】

文章以“最好的向生活学习的方式”为题，分为三部分展开叙述。第一段点明了主题，清晰表达自己的观点：认为自身经验更能给自己生活启示。第二部分首先阐述了听取他人意见的优势，继而认为和亲自获取的经验相比，其具有一定的局限性，最后表述自身经验无法比拟的优势。最后一段重申主题，照应开头：经验是最好的老师。
