天津大学考博英语翻译真题解析 The market share of international students enjoyed by British andUS universities has dropped sharply as Australia，Japan and NewZealand become increasingly popular destinations，according to aninternational comparison of education systems published yesterday.The latest edition of Education at a Glance，an annual auditpublished by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation andDevelopment，showed that although foreign students continue to beattracted to the two countries because of the English languageteaching and perceived quality of education，in relative terms theirposition is weakening.The Paris-based organisation reported that US market share fell2 per cent from 2002-3，while the UK suffered the fastest decline amongOECD members，falling from 16.2 per cent in 1998 to 13.5 percent in2003.（PS:The way to contact yumingkaobo TEL:si ling ling-liu liu ba-liu jiu qi ba QQ: 772678537) The most recent year used by the report is 2003 so the percentagesdid not include a 21.3 per cent fall in the number of Chinese studentsaccepted for university courses in Britain this year. Britain isincreasingly reliant on the higher fees paid by students from outsidethe European Union to help sustain its universities for domesticstudents.（PS:The way to contact yumingkaobo TEL:si ling ling-liu liu ba-liu jiu qi ba QQ: 772678537) The overall number of students studying outside their owncountries stood at 2.1m in 2003，an 8.3 percent annual average increasesince 1998.According to the report the international complexion of US campuses has changed strikingly since September 11 2001. The country''s universities have seen decreases of 10-37 per cent in students from the Gulf states，northern Africa and some south-east Asian countries.The report also concluded that despite continued，if uneven，growth in the number of graduates churned out by the rich world''s universities，the monetary value of a degree showed no sign of having been tarnished.Andreas Schleicher，head of the Indicators and Analysis Division of the OECD''s Directorate of Education，said there was no evidence of inflation of the labour-market value of qualifications and that graduates could expect to continue to earn considerably more than those without a degree.Assessing the performance of the world''s schools，Mr Schleicher said Asia was soaring while Europe remained level and South America had slipped into relative decline.一、全文翻译英美大学留学生人数骤跌据昨天公布的一项国际教育体系比较研究称，英美大学的留学生市场份额急剧下降，而澳大利亚、日本和新西兰日益成为受欢迎的留学目的地。

2024天津专升本英语作文真题
科技进步与社会发展的双刃剑In the era of rapid technological advancement, the impact of technology on society is becoming increasingly profound. This paper will explore the dual nature of technology, discussing both its positive and negative effects on social development in Tianjin, China, with a focus on the context of the 2024 Tianjin Vocational College Entrance Exam.Firstly, let's delve into the positive aspects of technology's influence. Technology has significantly accelerated the pace of social development in Tianjin. For instance, the widespread adoption of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has facilitated more efficient and convenient communication among individuals and organizations. This has led to improved productivity, increased economic growth, and the emergence of new industries and job opportunities. Furthermore, technological advancements in healthcare have led to improvements in disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, thereby enhancing the overall health and well-being of the population.Moreover, technology has played a pivotal role in promoting cultural exchange and education. The internet and social media platforms have broken down geographical barriers, allowing people from different cultures and backgrounds to interact and learn from each other. This has fostered a more inclusive and diverse social environment in Tianjin, promoting mutual understanding and respect amongits inhabitants.However, the negative impacts of technology on social development cannot be ignored. One significant concern is the growing digital divide between those who have access to technology and those who do not. This divide can lead to disparities in education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, exacerbating social inequality. Additionally, the overuse of technology can have negative effects on individuals' mental health and well-being, leading toissues such as addiction, stress, and anxiety.Another concern is the impact of technology on privacy and security. With the increasing use of digital devicesand online platforms, personal information is constantly being collected and shared. This raises concerns aboutprivacy violations and the potential misuse of personal data. Furthermore, cybercrime and cyber-attacks have become more frequent and sophisticated, posing a significantthreat to individuals and organizations.In conclusion, technology has brought about bothpositive and negative changes to social development in Tianjin. While it has facilitated communication, economic growth, and cultural exchange, it has also created new challenges such as the digital divide, mental health issues, and privacy concerns. It is crucial for society to strike a balance between harnessing the benefits of technology and mitigating its negative impacts. This requires a concerted effort from individuals, organizations, and governments to ensure that technology serves as a force for positive transformation in Tianjin and beyond.**科技进步与社会发展的双刃剑**在科技飞速发展的时代，科技对社会的影响日益深刻。

近年天津关于传统文化的英语作文题
近年天津关于传统文化的英语作文题Tianjin's Treasured Traditional CultureHi there! My name is Xiaoming, and I'm a 10-year-old student from Tianjin, China. Today, I want to share with you some of the amazing traditional cultures that have been preserved and celebrated in my hometown over the past few years.Let's start with the Yangliuqing New Year Paintings. These are beautiful woodblock prints that have been a part of Tianjin's culture for centuries. During the Spring Festival, which is the Chinese New Year, these intricate and colorful paintings are hung up in houses to bring good luck and prosperity. I remember visiting the Yangliuqing Town with my parents a couple of years ago, where we saw skilled artists creating these paintings using traditional techniques passed down for generations.Another fascinating tradition in Tianjin is the Yangliuqing Wood-Engraved New Year Pictures. These are incredible works of art carved into wooden blocks, and then used to print vibrant images depicting scenes from ancient Chinese folklore and legends. The level of detail in these engravings is trulyremarkable, and it's incredible to think that this art form has been practiced in our city for over 600 years!One of my favorite events is the Tianhou Palace Fair, which takes place every year on the 23rd day of the third lunar month. This lively fair is held at the Tianhou Palace, a magnificent temple dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea, Mazu. During the fair, there are colorful processions, traditional performances, and all sorts of delicious street food to enjoy. My friends and I always look forward to trying the famous Tianjin-style snacks, like the crispy Guobacia (a type of fried bread) and the sweet, sticky Luzhu (a traditional snack made from maltose).Speaking of food, Tianjin is also famous for its unique cuisine, which has been influenced by various cultures over the centuries. One of the most iconic dishes is the Goubuli Baozi, which are steamed buns filled with a savory mixture of pork and vegetables. These delicious buns have been a part of Tianjin's culinary heritage for over 200 years, and you can find them being sold by street vendors and restaurants all over the city.Another culinary tradition that has been preserved in Tianjin is the art of making Luzhugan, which are intricate sugar sculptures. These delicate creations are crafted entirely from maltose, a sweet syrup made from fermented grain, and theyoften depict scenes from Chinese folklore or historic events. It's incredible to watch the skilled artisans as they meticulously shape the maltose into these stunning works of art.Of course, no discussion of Tianjin's traditional culture would be complete without mentioning the city's rich history of opera and theatre. The Tianjin Yangliuqing Wooden-Engraved Prints were often used as backdrops and props in traditional Chinese opera performances. Tianjin is also home to the famous Huiju Opera, which combines elements of various regional opera styles and has a unique singing technique that sets it apart.In recent years, there has been a concerted effort to promote and preserve these traditional art forms and cultural practices. The local government has organized various festivals, exhibitions, and workshops to educate the younger generation about the importance of these traditions. I've had the opportunity to attend some of these events with my classmates, and it's been a truly eye-opening experience.One of the highlights was a workshop where we learned how to make our own Yangliuqing New Year Paintings. It was a lot of fun, but also incredibly challenging. We had to carefully carve intricate patterns into wooden blocks, apply ink, and then use a special printing technique to transfer the design onto paper. Itgave me a newfound appreciation for the skill and dedication required to create these beautiful works of art.Another memorable experience was attending a performance of the Huiju Opera. The costumes, makeup, and intricate movements of the performers were mesmerizing. Afterwards, we had the chance to speak with some of the actors and learn about the rich history and cultural significance of this unique art form.It's truly amazing to see how Tianjin has managed to preserve and celebrate these incredible traditions, even in the face of rapid modernization and globalization. I'm grateful that my city has made such efforts to ensure that these cultural treasures are not forgotten, and that they can be passed down to future generations.As a young student, it fills me with pride to be a part of a city with such a rich cultural heritage. I hope that as I grow older, I can continue to learn about and appreciate these traditions, and perhaps even play a role in keeping them alive for years to come.That's all for now, but I encourage you to visit Tianjin one day and experience these amazing cultural gems for yourself. From the vibrant Yangliuqing New Year Paintings to the delectable Goubuli Baozi, there's so much to discover andappreciate. Until then, I'll keep exploring and enjoying the wonderful traditions that make my hometown so special.。

西方文化导论课件1-6课后题答案
西方文化导论课件1-6课后题答案(1) Give a brief account of the major achievements of Greek culture, such as those in religion, philosophy, literature and science.Greek religion really took shape during the Homeric Age and featured polytheism with gods taking human form and feeling. Greek religion made a great contribution to Greek literature, philosophy and art. It is an important origin of Greek mythology which was fully developed by the religious tales of the Homeric epic and thus affected the later development of all kinds of Greek culture.Greek philosophy started with Thales (640 BC–547 BC) who believed that the material worldoriginated in water. His philosophy was materialism. He was followed by Pythagoras who assumed that the key to the understanding of the world is numbers, on the opposition of the spokesman for idealism.The core Greek philosophers are Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Socrates had scant regard for material wealth, but was keen on probing into the definition of some ethical and behavioral issues, such as “friendship” and “courage”.Plato established the Academy , the first Greek institution ofhigher learning. His contributions included his theory of ideas and his arguments on “republic” which was supposed to embrace his ideals about a future state where humans could enjoy a happy life. Aristotle is also a learnedman and his work covers wide-ranging areas. His reputation as a philosopher largely depends on his argument on metaphysics which hetried to achieve a compromise between matter and divinity.Literary representation centred round the two epic poems of theIliad and the Odyssey, lyricalpoetry by Sappho and Pindar and drama by Aeschylus, Euripides and Aristophanes. Their works combined Greek myths and social life and won much appreciation and enthusiasm from the public.In science the mathematician Euclid established plane geometry and Archimedes discovered the ratio of radius of a circle and therelationship between the volume and surface of a sphere. (2) What do you think of the influence Greek culture has exerted on Western civilization as a whole? Give examples.Greek culture is often termed the cradle of the Western civilization and has had an enormous impact on Western culture. The specific contributions are found in the areas of philosophy, politics, literature, art, science and architecture.Greek politics was one of the greatest influences on the Western civilization. The Greeks were the first to successfully create a government based on the consensus of the people and thus provided a foundation for Western democracy.The second significant influence was that of philosophy. TheSocratic idea about ethics and knowledge helped the Westerners care more for the effect of knowledge and value of morality, both of which givesound guidance to people in the later years to improve and change the world outside themselves, i.e., human society and the natural world.Later generations of Westerners have benefited a lot from Greek culture, such as those in painting, sculpture, architecture, drama, poetry and historical works. Classicism had Greek culture as one of the crucial sources, and this has helped Westerners so much that they ascribed the origin of the Renaissance to it. This changed theintellectual conditions of the later medieval period and opened the way to the modern era in the West.(1) Tell briefly the major characteristics and contributions of Roman culture, as are demonstratedin religion, poetry, history and architecture.In the early period, Roman culture often depended heavily on the introduction and imitation of other cultures, particularly, Greek culture. However, the Romans showed the eclectic aspect in theirculture，i.e. Romans did not take in all that they collected from other cultures but modified and developed it according to their own need. Thus Romans created their own powerful culture, laying the foundation for subsequent Western culture in many fields.Before Christianity appeared in Roma, ancient Romans werepolytheists. They adopted many cults from other religions, fusing them into their own religion. According to Greek culture and others’ culture, they created their own gods and myth, such as Jupiter, Juno, and Venus, which become subject matter for the artist, writers, and architects intheir creative production. In poetry, ancient Rome made brilliant achievements, producing numerous distinguished poets and poems. The poet Virgil’s Aeneid is considered as a model epic in the European literary tradition. He is so famous in poetry that he was modeled for many pastoral writers. For example, Italian poetDante called him his teacher in his masterpiece The Divine Comedy. Horace was not only famousfor his poems but his critic. In his Epistles, he advanced many influential principles for creativewriting, exerting great influences on later generations. In the 17th century his work was translated into English. Another important poet was Ovid, whose Metamorphosis was translatedinto English and quoted frequently by many famous writers, such as Chaucer, Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Shirley and T.S. Eliot.A number of important historians came forth in the ancient Roman period. Polybius created his tremendous works consisting of 40 books, History, which spanned about 500 years. Livy wasresponsible for the great History of Rome in 142 volumes. His works has always been cited bylater statesmen, writers and scholars such as Niccolo Machiavelli and Shakespeare. The architecture of ancient Rome adopted the Greekstyle for its own purposes, but the Romans also developed a new kind. They were more utilitarian and showed an interest in grandeur and scale. They constructed many public edifices which still existed today andbecame the famous key point of interest for the world. Romans used the arch, the vault and the dome, and discovered how to make concrete.The Roman culture introduced the Roman realism and realistic stylein Western culture in painting and sculpture through modern times. Roman culture nourished emerging Western culture, and even the world culture. Such a splendid culture has greatly enriched cultural heritage of human kind.(2) In what sense do you think Roman culture owed its accomplishments to the benefits obtained from Greek culture? Give examples.It is universally acknowledged that Roman culture learned and inherited a lot from Greek culture. This could be seen in what Roman culture adopted from Greek culture as is demonstrated in religion, philosophy and literature.In religion, we know most of the gods in Roman myths came from Greek legends in terms of function and contribution to their myths. Nevertheless, Rome had its own system of beliefs which had been simple and could hardly compare with the plurality of Greek religion. The parallel arrangement of gods provides accurate evidence to show the similarity of the two religions and Roman wisdom in borrowing fine elements from an external culture is obvious. The same is true of Roman philosophy where we could find examples to demonstrate Greek influence on their Roman counterpart. The best example is perhaps Stoicism and Epicureanism, both of which originated from Greece and werefurther developed and modified in Rome. In literature, Roman men of letters also borrowed a great deal from Greek culture. For example, one could find lots of traces of Greek tragedy in Roman drama. Even in Virgil’s best known epicAeneid, we could read of similar story of the hero in his voyagefrom Troy to Rome, compared to Odysseus, who overcomes many difficulties on his way home though they are certainly set against different backgrounds.All in all, the two cultures are closely linked partly because Greek culture is so illustrious that no one could leave it out without picking up something from it. The Roman people were sufficiently intelligentthat they could not refuse to take such an opportunity to learn something when the opportunity was available.How was the Jewish Civilization developed after a tortuous historyof split and unification? (1)The major explanation for the development of the Jewish Civilization is its strong cohesiveness and vitality, which supports its unsubmissive and persistent advance by putting up its three spiritual and physical pillars as one of the scholars suggests: “the national identity based on the Jewish cultural tradition, the common belief and values enshrined in Judaism, and the community network centered on the synagogue”.Much of the Jewish culture was safeguarded and well preserved by exiled Jews. Under the guidance of rabbis, they put into effect their Judaist beliefs and what they read of Judaist scriptures. They collectedand systematically recomposed the scattered legends and manuscripts into the Torah and the Mishna before they compiled finally the Talmud.The Jewish Civilization had thus progressed with each passing day until the Haskalah Movement came forward in the 18th century，which brought about spiritual awakening and a drastic changeof their cultural and social conditions.From then on Jews have begun to become aware of the necessity to liberate themselves from the restrictive laws and acquire new knowledge and modern ideas from the Europeans, which enabled them to secure a position for themselves as a race by keeping pace with the advanced levels of social, economic and cultural developments. Most of the Jews thus received a good education, fully armed with cultural and scientific knowledge and did well in their own position whatever it was though they had not yet established or recovered their own land. Thus they have prepared personnel of various kinds for the revival of theircivilization and once that country was founded, they could quickly turn it into a well-developed nation in spite of its small size and small population just as what has happened in Israel in recent decades.(2) Say something about Judaism and the Old Testament?Judaism is one of the earliest monotheistic religions practised today. In the beginning，Judaismwas composed of a series of beliefs and practices originating in the Tanakh. It was later furtherexplored and explained in the Talmud and other Judaist scripts. Judaism presents itself as thecovenantal relationship between the Children of Israel (later, the Jewish nation) and God. The principles and ethics of Judaism had influenced Christianity and Islam, as well as some non-Abrahamic religions. Many of its texts and traditions are central to other Abrahamic religions and provided the foundation for Western Christianity. Its influence is seen in both secular and ecclesiastical affairs in the Western society, just as the frequent occurrences of classical and Christian cultures via conversations or discussions on different occasions, either public or private, formal or informal.The Old Testament is the Judaist Bible which was a complete document and collection of ancient Hebrew adopted by Christianity as part of the Bible. It was written in Hebrew, including the threeparts: Pentateuch, Prophets and Hagiographa and Apocrypha. After the Old Testament wastranslated into Greek by Jewish scholars，many westerners began to understand Judaism byreading this book. It is not only of religious value but also of literatry value in terms of both subject matter and thematic concernsfor the writers to refer to or draw on.(1) Why could Christianity be accepted as the official religionfirst by the Roman Empire and then by the following kingdoms or empires in Europe?a. For the common people in the empire who were fed up with wars and social turmoil, they needed something to fill up their spiritual vacuum. Christianity could play such a role to pacify and comfort them with love and care more effectively than other organizations or religions.b. It could work together with any secular regimes to offer necessary assistance to control ideologically and intellectually the ordinary people, which was thus welcomed by the kings, emperors or aristocrats.c. The name and influence of Christianity would be a symbol of sacredness and justification, which would help the majority of people to accept the reign of a newly emerging ruler and his followers.d. Christianity is also a kind of culture, which to many people suggests social stability and recovery of an old life style they are accustomed to. Though conservative as well, it could be tolerated because their life and property could thus be secured in the changed circumstances. (2) What are the basic differences between Christianity and Judaism?In spite of the fact that the two religions both derived from Jewish culture, there are some basic differences between them.First are the different images of God. For Judaism, its God Jehovah was representation of Nature as an almighty, omnipotent and omniscient supernatural being. He is expected to provide protection for the Jews who suffered so much in history and help the Jews recover their homeland. In contrast, the Christian God Jesus is both human and divine with theorigin of humanity and hence shares with humans various kinds of suffering.Second are the different views of God. Jehovah is viewed with a sort of fear and solemnity since He is like fire or wind which would bring force and harm to the human race while the Christian God is kinder and more helpful, since He personally suffers as a human.Third is the different position each religion holds and hence different contribution each makes. For the early period of Judaism, Jehovah enjoyed every respect and worship from the Jews since Israel was a country of integrity and built up the grand temple for its God. But with the fall of the country, all were destroyed including the temple. They could do nothing about worship but keep their respect secretly in mind for their God. Comparatively Christian worship of Jesus was not allowed in the early days since the religion was illegal and only with the improvement of the situation could the Christian disciples openly demonstrate their worship of Jesus in public. Fourth is that Jehovah was important to Jews only in theory and affected them in spirit occasionally while Christianity became an inseparable part of the secular life of the Westerners. Pope and churches became so powerfulthat they even tried to seize more political power from the emperors or kings who had to depend sometimes on the Christian church for both spiritual and political support since Christianity could easily exertits influence on the church people and non-church people.(1) What are the major features and achievements of the Renaissance? Give examples. The Renaissance is characterized by seeking ideological emancipation, intellectual freedom and political awareness, based on cultural production and religious reformation. All these were undertaken or unfolded gradually but widely, extending its influences to every corner of Europe, with more and more people getting involved.The achievements were seen principally in six areas, namely, painting, sculpture, poetry, fiction, drama and religious reformation as well as the change in the cultural and intellectual climate. Instances could be located in these areas, such as the huge change of subjects and styles in painting. The medieval painting used to centre on depicting Jesus Christ and other Christian subjects, not only effecting similar and the limited subject matter, but also depicting stylistically facial expressions and manners. The great artists in the Renaissance started to focus on the images with individualistic temperament, highlighting humanity instead of divinity, thus breaking away from the medieval frozen models and linking classicalism with human nature as the centre of their representational work.。
