15、支持下，举办了中国商品展览会。从 2004年至今已成功举办三届。累计有近 500家中国企业参展，来自 30多个国家的买家到展会参观、采购和洽谈，展会已经在中马两国企业界树立起良好的形 象，建立起自身的品牌。 TONE TONE 本次展会参展企业超过 200家，其中 100多家企业将携带新产品和新技术首次到马来西亚参展，将有 8,000多买家到会。我相信，本次展会一定会对中马经贸合作起到积极推动作用。 TONE TONE 进一步加强中马友好合作，符合两国根本利益。扩大中马互利经贸合作将为中马友好注入更多的实质性内容，为两国人民创造更多的福祉。我们愿与马方共同努力，在 “平等互利、共同发展 ”的原

17、re listening. You will hear the passages only ONCE. Now lets begin. 1 【正确答案】 今天，我们在此发布联合国儿童基金会的年度旗舰报告 2009年世界儿童状况，今年的报告主要关注孕妇与新生儿健康。报告显示，在孕妇与新生儿健康方面我们必须要做更多，以挽救新生儿的生命，并改善无数儿童与其家庭的生活。 每年，有超过 50万名女性死于怀孕或分娩并发症，其中大约 7万人是 15到 19岁的女孩和年轻女性。这不仅 对于家庭来说是痛苦的损失，还对孩子的健康成长和社会与国家的发展造成长期的影响。 99%左右的孕妇死亡发生在不发达国家，在这些国
18、家，生孩子是对女性最严重的健康威胁之一。全世界孕妇死亡的 21发生在刚果民主共和国、埃塞俄比亚和尼尔利亚这三个国家。 在孕妇死亡危险率最高的尼日尔，每 7名女性中会有 1名死于怀孕或分娩引起的并发症，而在发达国家，每 8,000名女性中才会有 1名因此死亡。 1990年以来，怀孕或分娩引起的并发症已夺走了约 1千万女性的生命，这大约相当于南非总人口的20%。另外，每年有约 400万新生儿在出生后的 28天内死亡，而大多数死亡是可以避免的。这一数字大约是每年 5岁以下死亡儿童人数的 40。孕妇和新生儿死亡分布极不均匀，多集中在非洲和亚洲。 95%的孕妇死亡和 90%的新生儿死亡都发生在非洲和亚洲
19、。 令我们欣慰的是， 1995年到 2005年，发展中国家中熟练的分娩护理人员人数从54增加到了 62；同时，选择孕期看护的人数从 60%增加到了 75%。但是，发展中国家中约 5千万人，或者说全世界约 40%的分娩仍在没有专业卫生护理人员的条件下进行。 女孩必须上学。受过教育的女性更有可能身体健康，更有可能生出健康的孩子，孩子也会存活长大。要打破贫穷恶性循环，创造一个利于孕妇和新生儿健康的环境，让女孩和年轻女性接受教育是最有力的方法之一。 在家庭层面，要增强对识别危险迹象的重要性的认识，保证女性或婴儿能够很快得到照料。社区也要不 断改善，解决基础设施和财政资源等问题，确保人们能够得到健康护理
20、。最后，还必须要有接受过培训的医疗工作者和必要的设备。 我们在减少儿童死亡率方面已取得了一些进步，但是还应做得更多，尤其是在针对孕妇与新生儿健康方面。全世界必须有共同的紧追感、协调行动，来完成这一任务。无数生命会因此得到挽救和改善。谢谢大家。 二、 PART 2 Chinese-English Translation (50 points, 30 minutes) Interpret the following passages from Chinese into English.
