Questions 16~20
At the beginning of 1613, about two hundred Polish soldiers arrived at a little Russian village. They lost their way in the thick forest and asked for a man to show them the way to town. But no one wanted to help them.
"You will have to go through that forest," said an old man. "The road is on the other side." "Show us the way," cried the enemy officer," or we‘ll kill every one in the village!"
"I‘m old," said the old man. "I may be not able to walk so far."
But to himself he said, "I‘ll have to show them the way, but if I lead them into the thickest part of the forest, they will die there and I‘ll help to save my country."
The old man went in front, and two hundred soldiers followed him. For many hours they moved on through the forest.
"Where is the road?" they cried. "We must be near the road by now."
"I‘m old," answered the old man. "Perhaps I have lost my way."
"He wants money and give him some gold," said the soldiers. "But if he doesn‘t show us the way we will kill him."
"We‘ll soon be on the road now," said the old man when he got the money. "And you will be able to go to the town."
But the trees closed round them and it became darker and darker though it was still the middle of the day. It was even harder to walk on in the heavy snow.
"This cannot be the road," the men said to one another, but they could do nothing but follow those in front.

As a native language, English is spoken by nearly three hundred million people, in the U.S.A., England, Australia and some other countries.
For people in India and many other countries, English is often necessary for business, education and other activities. So English is the second language there.
As a foreign language, no other language is more widely studied or used than English. We used it to listen to the radio, to read books or to travel. It is also one of the working languages in the United Nations and is more used than the others.

Questions 26~30
What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like grey and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us. They tell us that we don‘t choose our favourite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have few accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black dark grey.
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don‘t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose something in different colours.
26. If you love green, ___________.
(A) you feel unhappy
(B) you are strong-minded
(C) you are happy
(D) you feel comfortable
27. Factory workers will have fewer accidents when ______.
(A) they work in yellow or orange rooms
(B) they work harder in red coats
(C) they work on the orange machines
(D) they work on the black machines
28. It‘s important for us to choose colours because ______.
(A) colours do affect our feeling in many ways
(B) sometimes colours will do our feeling good
(C) sometimes light and bright colours make us happy
(D) colours will help us to do everything well
29. If you feel low, you can brighten your day __________.
(A) with more things to do
(B) by helping others to do everything
(C) with a new shirt
(D) by seeing psychologist
30. According to this passage, you know four friends better _______.

(B) when you stay longer with them
(C) if you see them often
(D) when you choose something different for them
第二部分筆譯考試
Part A: Translate the following passages from English into Chinese(two passages, each 25 points)
Passage 1 :
Can man be credited with choosing the right path when he knows only one?Can he be congratulated for his wise decision when only one judgment is possible? If he knows nothing of vice, is he to be praised for adhering to virtue?
Wisdom consists of the deliberate exercise of judgment; knowledge comes in the discrimination between those known alternatives. Weighing these alternatives is the way of maturity. Only then does man have the strength to follow his choice without wavering, since that choice is based firmly on knowledge rather than on an uncertain, dangerously shallow foundation of ignorance.
Passage 2 :
For many years the United States and other nations used gold and silver money. Paper money was used to stand for the holding of both silver and gold. The value of silver was limited to that of gold. Fifteen ounces of silver had the same value of one ounce of gold. These values didn’t change until after 1860 when mines in the west of the United States began to produce large amounts of silver. This extra amount of silver caused its price to fall. No longer would fifteen ounces of silver buy one ounce of gold. In 1871, Germany declared that it would no longer support its paper money with silver. Instead, it would use only gold. Other countries of Europe quickly did the same.
Part B: Translate the following passages from Chinese into English ( two passages, each 25 points )

Questions 16~20
At the beginning of 1613, about two hundred Polish soldiers arrived at a little Russian village. They lost their way in the thick forest and asked for a man to show them the way to town. But no one wanted to help them.
"You will have to go through that forest," said an old man. "The road is on the other side." "Show us the way," cried the enemy officer," or we‘ll kill every one in the village!"
"I‘m old," said the old man. "I may be not able to walk so far."
But to himself he said, "I‘ll have to show them the way, but if I lead them into the thickest part of the forest, they will die there and I‘ll help to save my country."
The old man went in front, and two hundred soldiers followed him. For many hours they moved on through the forest.
"Where is the road?" they cried. "We must be near the road by now."
"I‘m old," answered the old man. "Perhaps I have lost my way."
"He wants money and give him some gold," said the soldiers. "But if he doesn‘t show us the way we will kill him."
"We‘ll soon be on the road now," said the old man when he got the money. "And you will be able to go to the town."
But the trees closed round them and it became darker and darker though it was still the middle of the day. It was even harder to walk on in the heavy snow.
"This cannot be the road," the men said to one another, but they could do nothing but follow those in front.

Questions 21~25
There are thousands of different languages in the world. Everyone seems to think that his native language is the most important one, as it is their first language. For many people it is even their only language all their lives. But English is the world‘s most widely used language.
As a native language, English is spoken by nearly three hundred million people, in the U.S.A., England, Australia and some other countries.
For people in India and many other countries, English is often necessary for business, education and other activities. So English is the second language there.
As a foreign language, no other language is more widely studied or used than English. We used it to listen to the radio, to read books or to travel. It is also one of the working languages in the United Nations and is more used than the others.

Questions 26~30
What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like grey and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us. They tell us that we don‘t choose our favourite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have few accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black dark grey.
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don‘t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose something in different colours.
26. If you love green, ___________.
(A) you feel unhappy
(B) you are strong-minded
(C) you are happy
(D) you feel comfortable
27. Factory workers will have fewer accidents when ______.
(A) they work in yellow or orange rooms
(B) they work harder in red coats
(C) they work on the orange machines
(D) they work on the black machines
28. It‘s important for us to choose colours because ______.
(A) colours do affect our feeling in many ways
(B) sometimes colours will do our feeling good
(C) sometimes light and bright colours make us happy
(D) colours will help us to do everything well
29. If you feel low, you can brighten your day __________.

第二部分筆譯考試
Part A: Translate the following passages from English into Chinese(two passages, each 25 points)
Passage 1 :
Can man be credited with choosing the right path when he knows only one?Can he be congratulated for his wise decision when only one judgment is possible? If he knows nothing of vice, is he to be praised for adhering to virtue?
Wisdom consists of the deliberate exercise of judgment; knowledge comes in the discrimination between those known alternatives. Weighing these alternatives is the way of maturity. Only then does man have the strength to follow his choice without wavering, since that choice is based firmly on knowledge rather than on an uncertain, dangerously shallow foundation of ignorance.
Passage 2 :
For many years the United States and other nations used gold and silver money. Paper money was used to stand for the holding of both silver and gold. The value of silver was limited to that of gold. Fifteen ounces of silver had the same value of one ounce of gold. These values didn’t change until after 1860 when mines in the west of the United States began to produce large amounts of silver. This extra amount of silver caused its price to fall. No longer would fifteen ounces of silver buy one ounce of gold. In 1871, Germany declared that it would no longer support its paper money with silver. Instead, it would use only gold. Other countries of Europe quickly did the same.
Part B: Translate the following passages from Chinese into English ( two passages, each 25 points )
Passage 1 :

Passage 2 :
知識創(chuàng)新
知識的生命力在于創(chuàng)新，只有不斷地創(chuàng)造出新的知識和技術(shù)，才能推動經(jīng)濟社會的快速發(fā)展。在新的世紀里，人才、文化、教育、經(jīng)濟和社會管理等因素在經(jīng)濟和社會發(fā)展中的作用日趨重要。只有在理論、科技方面不斷進行改革創(chuàng)新，不斷有新的創(chuàng)造和突破，才能為經(jīng)濟和社會發(fā)展注入新的生機和活力。
