1、英语翻译基础历年真题试卷汇编 107 及答案与解析汉译英1 今年初，我曾经讲过，今年恐怕是中国经济最为困难的一年。我国遭受了严重的雨雪冰冻灾害和特大地震灾害，又面临国内外复杂多变的环境。我们克服重重困难，保持了经济平稳较快发展的态势。上半年国内生产总值同比增长 104；农业发展势头良好，夏粮连续五年增产；投资、消费、出口三大需求增长趋向均衡，经济发展协调性增强；产业结构调整加快，节能减排取得明显成效，财政收入和企业利润保持较快增长，发展质量和效益进一步提高；城镇就业持续增加，城乡居民收入继续提高；近几个月来，居民消费价格指数涨幅逐月回落。总的看来，中国经济发展的基本面没有改变，正朝着宏观调控的
2、预期方向发展。2 我们参观博物馆时，常会看到各种古代铜镜古代人用来整容的家庭日用品。这些铜镜大多是从古墓中出土的、也有少数是传世之物。早在公元前 11 世纪，先民已经使用铜镜了。战国时期，铜镜在民间盛行。镜的正面磨光发亮，背面饰单层或双层花纹，常见的有兽面纹、花叶纹、龙凤纹等。西汉时期，铜镜较厚重，纹饰多几何图案、神人和禽兽纹等。并有铸刻铭文，每句仅三至四字，例如：“ 长相思 ”、“毋相忘”、“常富贵”、“ 乐未央”等。内容多是通俗的吉祥语。宋、元时期出现了圆镜、长方镜、八棱镜和带柄手镜等。清代以后，逐渐被玻璃镜所代替。(248 字)3 文化是沟通人与人心灵和情感的桥梁，是国与国加深理解和信任
3、的纽带。文化交流比政治交流更久远，比经济交流更深刻。随着时光的流逝和时代的变迁，许多人物和事件都会变成历史，但文化却永远存在，历久弥新，并长时间地影响着人们的思想和生活。不同的地域环境造就了不同的文化底蕴，形成了各具特色的文化形态，它们如同浩瀚苍穹的璀璨群星，交相辉映，光耀宇宙。正是文化的多样性，使不同文化相互影响，相互交融，相互促进，推动了人类文明的进步，也丰富了人类的生活。(218 words)4 现在看手机、网络的越来越多，读报的渐渐少了，有人说将来报纸会不会消失?我们当今的社会还是报纸等传统媒体和网络等新媒体并存，体现了两种不同的生活方式。一种人只看网不看报，一种人只看报不会上网，当然
4、还有两种兼顾。年轻人往往只看网络，不读报纸，这和生活工作方式有关，上网办公、交谈、收发邮件，顺手搜一下各类新闻，很便捷；以为时下的新闻知道了，就不去翻报纸。但我觉得不读报是会有损失的。因为有些报纸能给你的东西不全在网上，网络上更多的是即时的信息碎片，更丰富的生活血肉和富于原创性的、有深度的文章还是需要从报纸等纸质媒体来获取。还有，我总觉得一个人的修养很难在电脑前形成。需要在一些实际的文化空间里渐渐体验与形成，比如博物馆、画廊、剧场以及各种各样的交际，还有读书看报。我想，如果我们的报办得好，读报将来在中国也会成为生活和文化方式之一，一个丰富的社会不会只要一种生活和文化的方式。5 粮食安全始终是人
5、类生存发展面临的首要问题，“人人粮食安全” 是基本人权。世界粮食安全面临越来越多的非传统挑战和日趋复杂的形势。世界粮食安全的薄弱环节在发展中国家。利用粮食等生产生物燃料对粮食安全的影响不容忽视，气候变化对粮食安全也带来长期挑战。中国高度重视农业和粮食问题，坚持立足国内实现粮食基本自给的方针，通过加大资金投人、加强农田水利建设、加快农业科技进步等政策和措施，稳定提高粮食和农业综合生产能力。中国用占不到世界 9的耕地，解决了世界近 21人口的吃饭问题，提前实现了联合国千年发展目标(MDG)减贫目标。中国政府在解决自身粮食安全问题的同时，还在南南合作框架内向有关发展中国家提供了力所能及的农业援助，包
