Part C

Listen to a recorded passage three times and fill in the blanks numbered from 16 to 23 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 24 to 25 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words.

In the next 8 years, Shanghai must use real actions to complete a process of 16 transition from hardware platforms to software platforms to 17 ensure the success hosting of World Expo 2010. The primary tasks that must be achieved during this process of practical work are: Urban development must go from improving construction to improving 18 management; Subjects of investment must go from being predominantly government based to diversified 19 subjects throughout society. The recruiting of talent must move from Shanghai localization to internationalization. Government 20 functions must move from a leadership role to a service role. Throughout the overall process of hosting World Expo, apart from practical work we must also have a practical and realistic attitude and strive to 21 coordinate four aspects of work properly, namely, make proper scientific 22 forecasts to coordinate the scale of demand and 23 investment; Make a good job of scientific planning to coordinate the construction of venues and the city’s overall development; 24 Make a good job of the building of talent reserves to coordinate service

hardware and software; Make a good job of industry linkages to coordinate the exhibitions economy and tourism economy. 25 If we can achieve the tasks above, that would be the best definition of "World Expo bid spirit" and to go from a successful bid to the successful hosting of the event, what we need can be summed up in one word "practicality".

Chinese Version

一场邪恶的工艺炫耀集会

1．自从 1840 以后，西方大国已经断断续续地侵入这个极大但却被削弱了的国家，几乎消灭了中国。但是中国是一个继承了才能的国家。儒家相信培养他们的道德品质从而维持一个运行良好的国家。他们的勇敢保护这个国家免于毁灭。

2．中国人想要学习世界。他们竭尽全力摆脱数千年来形成的一贯心理去向西方学习。因此，作为一个参展者, 中国已经通过世博会发展了无数的关系来向世界展示自己。

3．第一个参加世博会的中国人是作为个人出席的。王韬参加了1867 巴黎世博会而且游览

了伦敦的水晶宫。当时，中国拒绝接受世博会,认为那是“一场邪恶的工艺炫耀集会”,这种想法是由于他们把技术理解为魔鬼似的诡计和邪恶的工艺,表明了他们不能深思技术如何改善世界, 影响和发展一种新的公民价值观。

4．中国第一次参加世博会是1873 维也纳世界博览会。然而，中国的参加是特殊的 -- 代表中国的是由时任清政府海关总税务司的英国人赫德派出的名叫包腊的英国人。在 1840 之后，中国所有的海关和对外贸易事务被委托给外国人。代表被派遣去拓展中国同外国的联系并获得了较大的利润。

5. 中国人派自己代表参加的第一届世博会是1876年的费城世博会。一名叫做李圭的人担任中国工商业代表。他是一个道德正直，明智，勇敢和机智的人。他写下了《环游地球新录》,记录了1876年的费城世博会。虽然他是来自中国代表团的唯一华人, 但是它却在中国第一次官方参与世博会之前。中国展品被装成520箱价值二十万两白银。中国的展区比日本小，不足以容纳适当的展品。这不是因为展区分配不均，而是因为中国没有预料到展出这么多产品。西方国家的展品和能力深深打动了中国人，他们决定抛弃他们的哲学，解救中国。

6. 1915 年，中国参加了巴拿马世界博览会并因茅台酒和张裕酿酒公司的可雅白兰地而获奖。茅台酒广受好评，被评为第二名酒。可雅白兰地被授予四枚金牌和最高奖，并因此被重新命名为“金奖白兰地”。

7. 其后，战争限制了中国参加世博会。直到 1982年美国诺克斯维尔世博会中国才重返世界博览会。

8. 中国参与世博会的历史反映了中国从衰落到崛起的起起落落。

9. 然而，现代中国人相信全球性的展览太富有竞争力, 不是完全没有理由的。在这个人类傲慢的年代里，这几乎是真理。在二十世纪下半叶，尤其在第二次世界大战之后，人类回顾他们的存在，希望对战争的毁灭建立新的信念。这不再是一个人类傲慢的年代。相反当我们在永恒的自然中确定自己的位置时，我们正在逐渐变得谦逊。人们正在要求所有种族分享人类的力量和智慧解决存在的问题。人类需要尽力解决臭氧层空洞，日益严重的土地沙漠化，资源的不可持续使用和大规模毁灭性武器。人类必须团结一致来排除对人类存在的威胁。虽然世博会开始作为显示一个国家财富的骄傲展览，但它现在期望实现全球的统一---一个所有人类共同的梦。三十五年以前，马丁路德金，一个伟大的美国人, 表达了他对于未来梦想的信念: “我梦想有一天，深谷弥合，高山夷平，歧路化坦途，曲径成通衢。有了这个信念，我们就能从绝望之山开采出希望之石。有了这个信念，我们就能把这个国家的嘈杂刺耳的争吵声，变为充满手足之情的悦耳交响曲。”

10．这是世博会之梦。

Task：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a shore essay on the topic of students selecting their lecturers. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below: （2006年6月四级考试作文试题）

1.有些大学允许学生自由选择某些课程的任课老师。

2.学生选择老师时所考虑的主要因素是……

3.学生自选任课老师的益处及可能产生的问题。

On Students Selecting Lecturers

As present, some colleges and universities allow their students to choose their own teachers for certain courses. In fact, the students welcome this innovative practice.

When it comes to the choice of teachers, some factors should be taken into consideration. On one hand, a learned teacher is preferred. After all, for students, studying is always given the first priority. A teacher with plentiful knowledge can ease the burden of studying for his students and provide them with many opportunities to enlarge their scope of knowledge and realize their potentials as well. On the other hand, a teacher with an ingenious and humorous teaching style is preferable. To a large extent, whether a lecture is welcomed by the students or not depends largely on the way of teaching rather than its content. No one can deny that an interesting interaction between the teacher and his students is far more enjoyable than a boring monologue by the teacher himself.

As each coin has two sides, the selection of teachers by students is no exception. It goes without saying that it can arouse student’s interest in their studies. Such phenomenon as being absent from classes or paying no attention to the classes may eradicate. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that it can bring about some side effects. The management of classes may be in disorder. Some teachers may be warmly welcomed so the number of the students may be too large while

other courses have only few attendants.

It can be concluded that allowing students to choose their own teachers has both positive and negative effects. What we must do is to make sure the positive ones are encouraged and the negative ones are minimized as far as possible.

作文翻译 Unit 1 李明是学化学的，性格开朗幽默，颇有魅力，但英语成绩不佳，每次只能勉强及格。老师警告他，英语不好会阻碍他拿奖学金，并亮出了自己的王牌：如果李明不努力，就让他考试不过关。老师还告诉他，学习英语不能只为了文凭，否则他即使大学毕业，也还是个半文盲。李明虽然保持镇定，但他明白，他的学业生涯正在攸关之际，必须安心下来埋头学习，坚持不懈。 Li Ming was a chemistry major, a charmer noted for his easygoing and humorous temperament. However, his English was so poor that he always barely got by. The teacher admonished him that his poor English would be an impediment to scholarship. What’s more, she showed her trump card: if Li Ming did not work hard. She would flunk him. He was also told that he should not learn English merely for the sake of his diploma. otherwise, even after graduation from university, he would still be semiliterate. Although Li Ming did not lose his composure, he was well aware that he had to settle down to work and follow through because his academic life was at stake. Unit2 我的朋友琳达接受过良好的教育，既美丽又端庄，三十好几依然没有人向她求婚。究其原因，她的事业心极强，整日扑在工作上，每天来往于住处和公司之间，根本没有时间和异性交往。一想到女儿这么大了还单身一人，她父母就焦虑不安。他们不知道该如何是好，甚至还去咨询一些社会学专家。 但是事情在上个月出现了转机，公司的总部调琳达到培训部。在新的工作岗位上，琳达遇到了第一个触动她心弦的男人。从此，他们几乎每天约会，琳达意识到她会不顾一切地爱这个男人。决定嫁人的时候，她告诉了我这个好消息。 虽然琳达的爱情让人想起电影中才会有的浪漫故事，我也担忧未来究竟会怎样，但我还是表达了我由衷的祝福，并爽快答应在婚礼那天做他们的伴娘和伴郎随从中的一员。 Linda, my good friend, has received good education and is both beautiful and elegant. She was not proposed to even when she was well over thirty. The reason is that she, as a career –oriented woman, is devoted to her work. Navigating between home and the company, she had hardly any time to socialize with people of the opposite sex. Her parents were gripped by anxiety at the thought of their daughter still remaining single at such an age. They did not know what to do and even consulted with some sociologists. But the situation began to change last month, when the headquarters of the company transferred Linda to the training department. On the new post, Linda met a man who tugged on her heartstrings for the first time. Ever since then, they dated virtually on a daily basis, and Linda realized that she would love the man beyond all reason. When she decided to take the matrimonial plunge, she informed me. Though Linda’s love is reminiscent of the romance that we see only in movies and I don’t know what the future will hold for her, I give her my heart-felt wishes and agree readily to be a member of the entourage of bridesmaids and groomsmen. Unit 3 食品供应商缺乏诚信已经成为当今社会的一大问题。部分企业欺骗公众，故意散布假消息，颂扬食品添加剂是食品工业的伟大成就，并声称适量的添加剂对健康有益无害。部分有良知的科学家对食品添加剂的含量和毒性展开了深入的病理学研究。研究结果表明，部分常见的食品添加剂经长期，可能会对健康产生危害，这被认为是食品安全研究方面极为重要的

unit1响尾蛇伤 我们在西波顿种植西瓜和香瓜供应市场。我家有一块瓜地和花圃在紧靠甘蔗地的谷仓背后。一天，我从工具棚里拿了把镰刀想去砍个西瓜自己吃。他们是不许我拿这把刀的，因为它的刀刃比我的胳膊还长。但它是切西瓜的最好工具。一刀下去，西瓜就一分为二了。 我正沿着瓜地边走边拍打着想找一个熟瓜，突然感觉脚好像被针一样的东西扎了一下。我为是踩在一堆蒺藜草上了。 转眼一看，却发现是一条响尾蛇。我知道响尾蛇在袭击之前都要发出响声以示警告的，而我对那响声的熟悉程度决不亚于我熟悉鹌鹑。后来我才明白它是没有时间警告，我肯定是一脚踩在它的嘴巴上了。我边往家飞奔，边大声喊叫，满脑子想的都是自己肯定要死了。妈妈赶快解下围裙用上面的带子绑在我的膝盖上部。她扶我到前屋的沙发上躺下，让玛莎照看我。当时在场的既没有一个男人也没有一匹马。最近的住宅是豪威尔先生家，但他家没有马。再远点的是吉姆·安德森家，穿过田地抄近路也有半英里的距离。妈妈冲向安德森家。安德森的一个儿子跳上马就直奔城里，在安德森家打工的克拉克的儿子用车把妈妈送回家。回到家，妈妈发现围裙带已被玛莎解开了，因为我直叫系得太紧。妈妈给我重新绑上，她用力很猛以致于我失声叫了起来。 然后，妈妈又到门廊朝那条通往城里的路张望。这条路位于安德森和豪威尔两家领地中间，一直延伸到小山顶端，因此从这里你可以看见所有路过的人或物。我总是远远就能辨认出我们的马车和汤姆，尤其是爸爸赶车的时候。这时，如果得到允许，汤姆就会因为急于吃到马槽里的东西而撒腿跑起来，爸爸也总是允许它这么做的。 赫伯·安德森的意见是首先找爸爸，如果他不在就找麦肯斯医生，再不成就找菲尔德或别的医生。 妈妈一边盯着看谁的马先出现，一边不时地进屋安慰我。 终于，妈妈说道：“你爸爸来了。” Read more 误解 这是个古老的故事，的确是要说到1864年的事。那时，英国军队驻扎在牙买加的一个团养了只官兵都喜爱的大猴子。那是只善于思考、极有主见的猴子，他的行为习惯和举止总是令军官们开心不已。他的居所对着军官食堂的窗户，尽管身上系着很长但不重的链子，他照样自得其乐，淘气逗人。比如有一天，他觉得一位年轻军官羞侮了他，便立即把食堂窗户敲得惊天动地。军官们只好把他的居所移到一个不太招眼的地方，但他依旧自娱自乐。任何活生生的东西，只要胆敢闯入他链长所及的范围内，就免不了被折腾得手忙脚乱一阵子。而那些倒霉的鸡鸭，却经常误入他的领地。那就会被他一下子抓住，有时竟被他扼杀，不过更多的时候，他都是恶作剧地对这些痛苦的阶下囚实施全身或半身拔毛手术，然后再放开。 然而，有一只鸡却让他突然强烈地喜欢上了。他是逮住了它，但他即不拔毛也不扼杀，反倒是百般怜惜、抚爱有加。这种毫无顾忌的举动使那只不幸的鸡恐怕是宁受拔毛之刑吧。猴子拧它，揉它，抚摸它，搂抱它，把它举得高高地，令它展翅起舞，又把它放开一会儿，可当它试图逃脱时又顽皮地将它两腿一抓。可那只鸡怎么地都不领情，反倒是完全误解了猴情猴意。但猴子却始终不渝，牢牢地紧握着这个心肝宝贝不放松。他满以为忠贞不渝的柔情蜜意即能赢得芳心归，没想到讨好卖乖了一番却不成功，因而更加大献殷勤：不一样地抚摸，更挚着地摩挲，更卖力地搓揉，还逗得它更欢快地舞蹈。可万分钟情也未能赢得回眸一顾。终于，在猴子极其亲昵的拥抱中，鸡给整死了，至死也未能理解猴的一片赤诚。 猴子处于极度悲伤之中。可想而知，他好不容易发现心爱之鸡，而这心爱之鸡未能回报丝毫之柔情，竟弃他而去！可悲复可怜！他开始着手祭奠的仪式，每一动作都表现出他沉痛

Unit 9 Chinese Food Text comprehension I. B II. TTTFT III. omitted IV. 1. Food to us Chinese is one of the greatest joys in life: it is thought about before being prepared; it is treated with lots of love and care while being prepared; and when it is ready, a great deal of time is devoted to enjoying it. 2. The main reason for the sudden and tremendous popularity of chinese food throughout the whole Western world lies in two facts: One is the increased desire for sensual pleasures (which is abundant in Chinese food) and freedom from age-old customs in the West; the other is the notion of physical pleasure provided by Chinese food, which is always ready to satisfy the taste of the eater.
