Section A (10 mark)
Translate the underlined
sentences in the following passage into Chinese.
Remember to write the
answers on the
answer sheet.
A soaring dropout rate is causing the
United Stated to lose ground educationally to
rivals abroad
and is trapping millions
of young American at the very margins of the
economy. (76)The Obama
administration
acknowledges
the
problems
in
its
new
budget,
which
includes
a
＄
50
million
prevention
programme,
but
solving
this
problem
will
require
a
lot
more
money
and
a
comprehensive national strategy.
The
alarming
scope
of
the
dropout
crisis
is
laid
out
by
the
Center
for
Labor
Market
Studies
at
Northeastern
University
in
Boston
and
the
Alternative
Schools
Network
in
Chicago.
(77)Their
study,
which examines data from the 12 largest states,
finds that 16 percent of the ages of 16 to 24
have dropped out.
(78) The problem is especially
pronounced among men, who make up more than 60
percent of
those who change school
nationally. The dropout problem hits minorities
really hard.
(79) Many of
this country’s large urban high schools are
rightly called ―dropout factories‖ because
more students leave school than
graduate. According to the study, state dropout
rates are highest in
the South, where
Gerorgia (22.1 percent), Florida (20.1 percent)
and Texas (18.5percent) lead the
way.
(80) The dropout crisis
presents a clear danger to national prosperity,
but at the moment, states and
localities
are
struggling
to
contain
it
with
little
help
or
guidance
from
the
federal
government.
Congress, which is just waking up to
this issue, can improve the situation by the
putting its money
and
muscle
behind
proven
programmes
that
have
been
shown
to
re-engage
young
people
who
have dropped
out, and that keep at-risk children on track to
complete their educations.

Part V Translation (15minutes, 20

Section A (10 marks)
Translate the underlined
sentences of the following passage into Chinese.
Remember to write the
answer sheet.
Embroidery
(
刺绣
)
is
a
brilliant
pearl
in Chinese
art .(81)
From
the
magnificent
Dragon Robes
worn by emperors to today’s fashions,
embroidery adds a great d
eal of pleasure to our culture and
our lives.
The
oldest
embroidery
on
record
in
China
dates
from
the
Shang
Dynasty.
Embroidery
in
this
period symbolized social
status. (82) It was not until later on, as the
national economy developed,
that
embroidery entered the lives of the common people.
After
the
Zhou
Dynasty,
the
Han
Dynasty
witnessed
a
leap
in
both
techniques
and
styles
of
embroidery. Embroidered
objects ranged from the sun, the moon, stars,
mountains dragons, and
phoenixes to
tigers, flowers and grasses, clouds and geometric
patterns. Auspicious words were
also
fashionable. Both historic records and products of
the time prove this.
The
cultural relics found in the Mawangdui Han Tomb
are the best evidence of this unprecedented
development in embroidery.
In
addition,
embroidery
unearthed
from
the
Mogao
Caves
in
Dunhuang
,
the
ancient
tombs
in
Turpan and
northern Inner Mongolia ,further strengthen this
observation .
