3、TRANSLATIONSECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISHIn Paris, a variety of drinking and buffet parties offer a good opportunity for making friends. On such occasion, strangers meet to know each other. If they are Asians, they, usually respectfully with two hands, present their calling cards to the other person b

4、efore they speak, which seems to be an indispensable formality. However, Frenchmen usually do not present their cards initially.

Some students ignore the sanitation an

7、d quiet environment of their dormitory. Many students are disturbed and annoyed by this. Due to such bad results, there is an upsurge of idea of making dormitory policies to curb these indecencies. This idea will be welcomed because it is for the sake of our health and the satisfactory study environ

8、ment.To make such policies is very important to maintaining our health. Frankly speaking, the dormitory on campus is a little bit small for seven or eight students. After one nights sleep, the air in the dormitory is very bad, especially in winter. Anyone who likes cleanness will not want to go back

9、 to his dormitory. If such a condition lasts, especially in summer, many kinds of disease will appear. Can we imagine a student always with illness will continue his studies or study well? Of course not. At this point, all of us should pay enough attention to the sanitation in order to complete our

10、college studies and get good marks.To make such policies is indispensable to create a peaceful study environment. Dormitories are for rest and sometimes for studies. When we come to our college, our primary purpose is to gain more knowledge to equip ourselves. However, some freshmen are disappointed

11、 at the environment of the dormitories, ignoring others, some students will play music or listen to music at any time, even at night. This seriously disturbs others. The result is that they cannot concentrate on their studies or feel sleepy. Music should not be prevented for young people, it should

12、be listened to at proper time, considering the interest of other people.For the sake of students health and creating a satisfying environment for studies, some policies should be made to ensure their college studies. I believe such policies must be in everyones favor.参考答案（1997）PART I LISTENING COMPR

He indulged himself

15、in smoking and alcoholic drinking and was hot-tempered. But he appreciated the diligence and the sound basic knowledge of students of Asian origin very much, and shared their sentiments (understood their feeling). Therefore, of the six students who were permitted to study in his laboratory, only one

16、 was from Germany, the other five were all from Asia. He was so straight forward as to put up a note on the door of his lab, which read: “Research assistant in this lab must work seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to midnight every day, and must spare no effort (go all out) in work hours.“ He was well

17、known throughout the campus for his strictness and severity. During the three and a half years of my work there fourteen students entered his lab, but only five left with a doctors degree. In the summer of 1990, irrespective of others advice, I forced myself to receive his assistance and began my ha

18、rd journey for schooling. SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE观看歌剧是件昂贵的事。昂贵是必然的。然而昂贵的东西并非富人所独有，除非我们放弃社会赋予的选择权。我们有权做出选择去创作歌剧和其它昂贵的文化形式，使那些单凭个人的能力无力支付的人享受得起。问题在于我们为什么要这样做?没有人否定食物、住所、防御能力、健康和教育是必不可少的，即使在史前的山洞里，人类伸出手来不仅是为了吃、喝、战斗，他们还作画。文化的冲动，即通过想象和表达去显示和探索世界的渴望是最根本的东西。在欧洲，这种渴望已通过音乐、绘画、文学和戏剧的名著得以实现。这些名著对我们付出的所有努力

19、进行了检验。它们成了人类的思维和想象力所能达到程度的试金石它们包含着人与人之间能够传递的最深刻的信息。PART V WRITINGSowing the Seeds, Nurturing Growth and Harvesting the Rewards In spring we sow the seeds in the soil. We look after them and cut off seeds for them. And in autumn, we are very happy to get harvest. A students success in university stud

20、y follows the same pattern as that of farming. The teachers are the seeds in our mind by giving lectures to us. We can get nothing without hard working. That is to say “No pains, no gains.” First, if we hope a harvest, the seeds play the fundamental role, or we can say that it is very important to l

21、isten carefully to the teachers. In my point of view, it is the teacher who sows the seeds. What is seed? It is knowledge. Some students sleep in the class. They carry nothing with them when they leave the classroom. That is to say they dont get seeds from the teachers. They are not interested in th

22、e lectures. They like to stay up all night to review the lesson. Now it seems that they are working hard in a field, which has no seeds in the soil. It sounds ridiculous, isnt it? Therefore, to absorb in class is very important. Second, nurturing growth is the key point in farming, or we can say tha

23、t hard working for the students themselves is the most important. We can imagine that we sow the seeds in the soil and then dont pay attention to them any more. Then how can we get a harvest? If we dont water the seeds, they will dry and can never become a plant. If we dont get rid of the seeds, the

24、 plant will die of malnutrition. It is the same in study. Listen carefully to the teachers and get the seeds in our mind and notebooks. But we must review the lesson. We must grasp the knowledge. We should borrow more books which are relevant to the class from library and absorb the knowledge. This

25、is the most important process in study. When you say: “ Oh, the knowledge is mine now. It doesnt belong to the teachers any longer,” you finish the hard work process in study. Third, harvesting is also an important process. That is to say that you must learn to use what you have studied to get a goo

26、d result in examination. Some students work all day long. They usually fail in the exam. They are worried before exam and forget everything when enter the classroom for exam. They got the seeds, they devoted all their energy to the field but they dont know how to harvest their rewards. So lets learn

27、 the skill of harvest and get our rewards. To sum up, the three processes are all important if we want to be a successful student. Without one of them, we will fail in our study. Try to improve yourself in the three aspects; you can certainly become an excellent student.参考答案（1998）PART I LISTENING CO
