0 生态系统是生活在某一特定区域、相互作用并与自然环境相互影响的动植物群落。生态系统包含物理和化学成分，如土壤、水分以及维持该地区生物生长所需的养分。这些生物大至大型动物，小至微小细菌。此外，生态系统也可视为某一特定区域所有生物间的相互作用，比如某一物种可以成为另一物种的食物。生活和劳作于生态系统中的人类也是生态系统的一部分。如果不仔细规划人类的活动以维护所在地区的生态，比如开发居住或商业用地，当地的生态系统就会遭到破坏乃至毁灭。 As an economic and social trend, globalization has brought both chances and challenges to China. On the one hand, China is emerging as the world manufacturing center and playing an increasingly important role on the international stage. On the other hand, in the process of globalization, we are faced with the issue of how to balance the development of economy and the inheritance of our fine cultural traditions. 14 / 18
1 Section A 这些年来，我们习惯性地认为原子能技术和必要的实践经验已经足以保证核安全。一切重大的核事故几乎都不存在，哪怕其真的发生，也会被有能力的核工程师们控制影响。然而，事实再一次证明处理核能源再小心都不为过。我们还不确定日本的核灾难会留下什么影响，但现在一定是我们重新审查原子能实践的时候了。为确保将来的核安全，我们还需付出很多努力。 Section B China has 5000 years of cultural tradition. Having undergone various hardships, the country still maintains its vitality generation after generation. It is imperative for us to fully advance our motherland's cultural heritage as well as to learn from civilizations of the world. Only in this way can our motherland make further development. In other words，preserving our traditional cultures while being open and tolerant will make our country more prosperous. 2 Section A【英译汉】 因特网在很多方面对社会有非常积极的影响。它改善交流，简化任务解决，提供巨大便捷，还使得处理过程更为快速，同时提供更多的选择，所有这些都节省出更多的时间来做其他事情。然而，有趣的是，因特网在某些方面却有负面影响。沟通质量下降了，人们也变得没有耐心，因为他们习惯了要求立刻得到满足，而且上网本身也占用了大量/很多时间。 Section B【汉译英】 People pay great homage / respect to Steve Jobs after he passed away. One of the reasons is that he has created the aesthetic perception for scientific and technological products. Steve Jobs holds that consumers are willing to buy those products --- whether cars or computers --- which look more beautiful than their counterparts. With/Under the leadership of Steve Jobs, Apple has brought about the unrivaled experience and beautiful people?s daily lives in all aspects fromthe appearances and materials of products and the feelings of usage 3 闷闷不乐就像一种病；染上这种疾病的人会让人们避之唯恐不及。这种人很快就会发现自己很孤单、很痛苦。然而,这种病症有一种很简单的治疗方法,乍看起来似乎荒谬可笑,那就是:如果你觉得不快乐,就假装快乐吧！ 这个方法很有效。不久,你就会发现自己不但不会令人反感,相反,你还能吸引他人。你会发现,成为广结善缘的中心人物是一件非常值得的事。 于是,原本假装的快乐就变成了真正的快乐。一旦快乐被视作一种责任并成为一种习惯的时候,它就会开启大门,引领我们进入好友云集的奇妙花园。 4 失业的社会成本远远超出了政法提供的福利和失业补贴。一个新的联邦调查显示，失业增加了离婚、虐待儿童、酗酒的几率。一些专家认为，这个问题只是暂时性的，新的技术最终将创造出新的就业机会。但是未来学家Hymen Seymour说，新技术带来的非凡效率就意味着我们需要的劳动力会必然的减少。Seymour说“我们应该将其视为一次享受更多休闲时光的机会。也许这一切并不是那么容易接受，但是社会最终会在劳动力的分类和分配方面达成协调。” 5 我们应该把工作当成快乐的源泉呢？还是视它为一种负担?大量的工作让人极为不爽，超负荷的工作给人造成巨大压力，甚而积劳成疾。然而，我认为：如果工作量不是很大，即便没什么乐趣，也比无聊空虚对身体健康有益。有时我们从工作中获得慰藉；有时工作给我们带来快乐。这些感觉的产生取决于我们所从事工作的类型以及我们自身的工作能力。工作占去了我们一天当中大部分的时间，也不允许我们需要决定应该做什么。 6 书籍开本呈稳态增长趋势：过去的15年,其平均页数增加了25%。一项关于《纽约时 报》2500多本畅销书的研究显示：书本的平均篇幅已经从1999年的320页增加到了2014 年的400页。开展这项调查的James Finlayson认为：书籍厚度“相对稳定逐年增长”，这种转变很大程度上归因于产业数字化。他表示：“当你在书店里拿起一本厚厚的书,有时会被吓到。但是如果你在Kindle(电子书)上读一本篇幅很长的书,那就没有问题了。” 15 / 18
