一、將下列段落譯為漢語（25分）

The genesis of a Chinese factory town is always the same: In the beginning nearly e*erybody is a construction worker. The booming economy means that work mo*es fast, and new industrial districts rise in distinct stages. Those early laborers are men who ha*e migrated from rural *illages, and immediately they're joined by small entrepreneurs. These pioneers sell meat, fruit, and *egetables on informal stands, and later, when the first real stores appear, they stock construction materials. After that cell phone companies set up shop: China Mobile, China Unicom. During these initial stages there's rarely any sign of police. Go*ernment officials are prominently absent. It's not until plants start production that you see many women. Assembly-line bosses prefer young female workers, who are belie*ed to be more diligent and manageable. After the women appear, so do the clothes shops. In the early days garbage accumulates in the gutters; the go*ernment is ne*er in a rush to institute basic ser*ices. Public buses don't appear for months. Manholes remain open till the last instant, for fear that early settlers will steal the metal co*ers and sell them for scrap.(*6 words)

二、將下列短文譯為漢語（50分）

Glaciers in Antarctica are melting faster and across a much wider area than pre*iously thought, a de*elopment that threatens to raise sea le*els worldwide and force millions of people to flee low-lying areas. Researchers once belie*ed that the melting was limited to the Antarctic Peninsula, a narrow tongue of land pointing toward South America. But satellite data and automated weather stations now indicate it is more widespread. The melting also extends all the way down to what is called west Antarctica. By the end of the century, the accelerated melting could cause sea le*els to climb by 3 to 5 feet — le*els substantially higher than predicted by a major scientific group just two years ago. Making matters worse, the ice shel*es that hold the glaciers back from the sea are also weakening.

For years, the continent at the bottom of the world seemed to be the only place on the planet not experiencing climate change. Pre*ious research indicated that temperatures across much of Antarctica were staying the same or slightly cooling. The big surprise was exactly how much glaciers are melting in western Antarctica, a *ast land mass on the Pacific Ocean side of the continent that is next to the South Pole and includes the Antarctic Peninsula. The glaciers are slipping into the sea faster because the floating ice shelf that would normally stop them — usually 650 to 980 feet thick — is melting. And the glaciers' discharge is making a significant contribution to increasing sea le*els.

Together, all the glaciers in west Antarctica are losing a total of around 114 billion tons per year because the melting is much greater than the new snowfall. That's equi*alent to the current mass loss from the whole of the Greenland ice sheet, New research found that melting glaciers will add at least 7 inches to the world's sea le*el — and that's if carbon dioxide pollution is quickly capped and then reduced.

三、將下列段落譯為英語（25分）

朋友們，21世紀(jì)第一個十年就要過去了，離世紀(jì)之初所制定的千年發(fā)展目標(biāo)的實現(xiàn)日期也更近了。站在新的起點上，我們深覺任重而道遠(yuǎn)。新發(fā)和重發(fā)傳染病的肆虐、傳染病與非傳染病的雙重負(fù)擔(dān)、健康不公平的廣泛存在等等，都是我們亟需解決的難題。希望大家能以此為契機，努力學(xué)習(xí)衛(wèi)生外交知識，掌握全球衛(wèi)生及其治理的相關(guān)概念與手段，了解國際上發(fā)達(dá)國家和發(fā)展中國家在這一領(lǐng)域的經(jīng)驗，為我國制定全球衛(wèi)生外交戰(zhàn)略建言獻策，為增進世界人民健康福祉而不懈努力。（212字）

四、將下列短文譯為英語（50分）

最后我聽了一堂音樂課，應(yīng)該說是欣賞了一堂音樂課。老師很活潑，這堂課先是播放了邁克爾·杰克遜的《我們同屬一個世界》，這堂課的主題是讓世界充滿愛。我對音樂是門外漢，但是我邊聽邊感到這是一堂藝術(shù)熏陶課，對孩子是藝術(shù)的熏陶，也可以說是堂美學(xué)(aesthetics)課。美學(xué)從大的方面講就是真善美，就是世界事物的真善美，這就是那首歌的真諦。因此聽完課我就即席講了一篇話，我說沒有愛就沒有教育，沒有愛就沒有一切。一堂音樂課讓孩子們通過唱歌來懂得人世間的愛，懂得人世間的真善美。其次是人們的心底。孩子們*心理活動，就是孩子們心底*知、情、義。這就要求學(xué)生要有愛心，懂得愛父母、愛老師、愛家鄉(xiāng)、愛祖國, 人最起碼的愛就是這些。（295字)
