Section A: Translation from English to Chinese

让我们抵制重走老路的诱惑，避免重新回到令美国政治长期深受毒害的党派纷争和由此引发的遗憾和不成熟表现。让我们牢记，正是伊利诺伊州的一名男子首次将共和党的大旗扛到了白宫。共和党是建立在自强自立、个人自由以及全民团结的价值观上，这也是我们所有人都珍视的价值。虽然民主党今大晚上赢得了巨大的胜利，但我们是以谦卑的态度和弥合阻碍我们进步的分歧的决心赢得这场胜利的。

因此，让我们发扬新的爱国精神，树立新的服务意识和责任感，让我们每个人下定决心全情投入、更加努力地工作，并彼此关爱。在这个国家，我们患难与共。

Section B: Translation from Chinese to English

Teachers should provide students with a key to the treasure house of knowledge, not to turn their brains into mere receptacles. Teachers' work is to prompt students to think for themselves and to get hold of knowledge through their own practice or experiment. More importantly, teacher should encourage their students to thrash out problems, to come up with contradictory opinions and to draw conclusions of their own after discussions. In a word, education orientates a person from ignorance to intelligence, from stupidity to wisdom, from barbarity to civility.

Script:

Section A: Mini-talks

1. M: Linda, do you need any help with your luggage? I don’t have to work tomorrow, and I can

drive you there if you need.

W: No, thanks. I’ll just bring one carry-on and my backpack. And you should go to the gym to have a workout.

Q: Where is the woman probably going tomorrow?

2. W: I can’t decide whether to buy a new car or try to find a second-hand one.

M: If you buy a new one, you’ll probably save money in the long run.

Q: What does the man suggest to the woman?

3. W: I just bought this coat at a sale. I paid only $240 for it. How do you like it?

M: It’s very nice, but my wife bought the same thing for just half the price.

Q: How much did the man’s wife pay for her coat?

4. W: Could we drop by the lab for a minute? I have some experiments running that I need to check

on before dinner.

M: Sure. I have plenty of time. I’d be interested to see what you’re working on, a nyway.

Q: What will they do?

5. W: How do you find your new apartment?

M: Well, it’s quite nice really, although I have a hard time getting used to living in a big place.

Q: What is the man’s problem?

Section B: Passages

Passage 1

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome. I’ m sure we have all heard the expression, “Think Green.”Tonight we are going to talk about ways that we can “Act Green”in our everyday life.

The best place to start, of course, is in the home. Every day, people all over the world are hurting the environment without even knowing it. For example, busy families buy paper napkins and plastic food wrap at the supermarket. This helps them save time on housework, but after these things have been used, what happens to them? They go into the garbage heap. In many places, especially in North America, big cities are running out of places to throw their package. What can we do about it?

How can we cut down on garbage? Well, we can start using cloth napkins and cloth towels
