SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese.
My guess is that English will retain its currency in the world for the next 50 or so, but it is difficult to see it retaining it beyond then. If the Chinese could establish some reasonable way of writing their language by forming some sort of alphabeticisation, then given the exponential population growth among Chinese communities, their language would rapidly gain in importance. And let's not forget Spanish; some predict that there will be a Spanish majority in the United States within twenty years. So it is not impossible to conceive that another language might come to dominate besides English one day.
An equally important trend will be the fragmentation of English. Many countries are now using English so much that they are starting to teach their own particular brand of the language with different forms of sentence construction, for example. They no longer want native speakers to teach English, but locals whose version of English contains the same forms as the local use of the language. This is not just true in colonial countries, it's happening as far apart as Germany and the Pacific Rim. It's a strongly democratic move and I think we will see a lot more local publishing as a result.
Yet while forms of English become increasingly localized, the information explosion is also making our use of language more global. A quite new form. of language is evolving on the internet. The E - mail is a new form. of message: it's not a letter, not a postcard. And it has its own casual style, often without complete sentences. English is especially well adapted to this style, as it can easily be shortened. So I suspect English will continue to be more advanced than other languages on the worldwide web--it will remain the language of science and technology.

We live in a society which there is a lot of 【1】______
talk about science, but I would say that there are
not 5 percent of the people who are equipped with
schooling, including college, to understand scientific
reasoning. We are more ignorant of science as people 【2】______
with comparable education in Western Europe.
There are a lot of kids who know everything
about computers -- how to build them, how to take
them apart, and how to write programs for games. So 【3】______
if you ask them to explain about the principles of 【4】______
physics that have gone into creating the computer,
you don't have the faintest idea. 【5】______
The failure to understand science leads to
such things like the neglect of human creative power. 【6】______
It also takes rise to blurring of the distinction between【7】______
science and technology. Lots of people don't differ 【8】______
between the two. Science is the production of new
knowledge that can be applied or not, and technology
is the application of knowledge to the production of
some products, machinery or the like. The two are
really very different, and people who have the faculty
for one very seldom have a faculty for the others. 【9】______
Science in itself is harmless, more or less. But
as soon as it can provide technology, it is not
necessarily harmful. No society has yet learned to 【10】______
forecast the consequences of new technology, which
can be enormous.

踏进美国的领土,作为一个外国人受到友好亲切的接待,手续既简便而且又不必交费,办事干净利落,不能不令人心里感到暖洋洋的。我曾听说,在美国的社会里,黑人将会成为美国发展中的一个隐患,然而我所遇到的几个年轻男女黑人,都性格开朗,对人热情,常常开怀大笑,乐观的天性,很富于感染力,给我很深的印象。人际的隔阂本来就是人们自身造成的,或许歧视和偏见也是人为的阻碍吧!

朋友关系的存续是以相互尊重为前提的,容不得半点强求、干涉和控制。朋友之间,情趣相投、脾气对味则合、则交;反之,则离、则绝。朋友之间再熟悉、再亲密,也不能随便过头、不恭不敬。不然,默契和平衡将被打破,友好关系将不复存在。每个人都希望拥有自己的私密空间,朋友之间过于随便,就容易侵入这片禁区,从而引起冲突,造成隔阂。待友不敬,或许只是一件小事,却可能已埋下了破坏性的种子。维持朋友亲密关系的最好办法是往来有节,互不干涉。

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese.
But the worst of it isn't society’s work-ethic morality; it's your own, which you never knew you bad. You find out how much serf-satisfaction was gained from even the most simple work--related task: a well-worded letter, a well-handled phone call--even a clean fire. Being useful to yourself isn't enough,
But then almost everyone has heard about the need to be a useful member of society. What you didn’t know about was the loneliness. You’ve spent your life almost constantly surrounded by people,in classes,in dorms and at work. To suddenly find yourself with only your cat to talk to an day distorts your sense of reality. You begin to worry that flights of fancy might become one way.
But you always were, and still are, stronger than that. You maintain balance and perspective, mainly through resorting frequently to sarcasm and irrevence. Although something going wrong in any aspect of your life now seems to push you into temporary despair much more easily than before, you have done very important things to hang on to--people who care, your sense of humor your talents, your cat and your hopes.
And beyond that, you've gained something--a little more knowledge and a lot more compassion. You've learned the valive of the rolitime your scorned and the importance of the job you took for granted. But most of all, you've learned what a 7.6 per cent unemployment rate" really means."

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy
cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of will, a qualification of the i-【M1】______
magination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the fresh of the deep springs of life. 【M2】______
Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of
the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. This often exists a man of 60 【M3】______
more than a boy of 20. Nobody grow old merely by the number of years. We 【M4】______
grow old by deserting our ideals.
Years may wrinkle the skin, but give in enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. 【M5】______
Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart or turns the spirit back to dust. 【M6】______
Whether 60 or 16, there is every human being's heart the lure of wonder,
the unfailing childlike appetite of what' s next and the joy of the game of living. 【M7】______
In the center of your heart and my heart where there is a wireless station: so 【M8】______
long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from
men and from the infinite, so long are you young.
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered by snows of cynicism 【M9】______
and the ice of pessimism, then you are growing old, even at 20, however as 【M10】______
long as your aerials are up, to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may
die young at 80.

Among her fellow astronomers, Vera Rubin is known as an expert
observer of the night sky, one of the best. Her reputation derives from the
project she has doggedly pursued through most of her career: measuring how 【M1】______
fast spiral galaxies are spinning, from their luminous cores out of the faint 【M2】______
wisps of light at their fringes. Such a task may sound tedious; even her
colleagues thought so when she started the project 20 years ago. But for her 【M3】______
painstaking measurements Rubin has' learned something important about
galaxies: they spin so fast they have to fly apart. Since galaxies do not seem【M4】______
to be shedding stars the way like a rotating lawn sprinkler shed water; 【M5】______
moreover, something must be holding the stars in. That something has to be 【M6】______
gravity, no other force is powerful enough on a galactic scale. And where 【M7】______
there is gravity, there is mass. Rubin realized that a huge reservoir of extra
materials, invisible to her telescope, must be tucked away somewhere in each 【M8】______
galaxy. We cannot see this matte--it is invisible to all our detectors. But
this "dark matter" seems to make up at least 90 percent of the mass of the
universe.
Large because of Rubin's work, dark matter has become the buzzword in 【M9】______
Astronomy. Her work has stirred such ferment that observers are desperate to 【M10】______
find some way of seeing dark matter and theorists are desperate to find an
explanation of what it is--swarms of unknown elementary particles, for
instance, hidden armadas of Jupiter-like planets.

In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, and most luxurious
ship float, the British built the Titanic. It was so superior to 【1】______
anything else on the sea that it was dubbed "unsinkable." So sure of
this was the Owners that they provided life boats 【2】______
with only 950 of its possibly 3,500 passengers. 【3】______
Many passengers were board the night when it rammed an 【4】______
iceberg, only two days at sea and more than halfway between
England and the New York destination. Because the luxury liner

submersion. Panic increased the amount of casualties as people 【7】______
jumped into the icy water or fought to be among a few to board the 【8】______

Carpathia, rescued the survivors—less than a third of those who
were originally aboard.

water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.
