Passage 1:
Mr. President, I wish to thank you for your very gracious and eloquent remarks. At this very moment through the wonder of telecommunications, many people are hearing what we say today.//
Yes, right now the whole world is watching us. Though what we say here will soon be forgotten, what we do here will change the world.//
Given our distinct histories, geographies and cultures, it is inconceivable that we could see eye to eye on all issues. However, we do agree on the fundamental need for world peace.
Passage 2:
There is no particular style to American negotiations. The way the negotiations are conducted will vary from one business to another and will depend upon the individuals involved.//
However, in spite of such difference, there are certain characteristics that appear to be fairly common to most American business negotiators.//
For example, Americans tend to be straight-forward, aggressive and pushy for clear-cut definitions of business terms.//
Although Americans have a reputation for making quick decisions, this is not always true when a corporation is involved in a major venture or a large project. Therefore, you should also be prepared for lengthy negotiations.

Passage 1:
近年来，随着上海市民人均收入的逐年增加，消费结构发生了根本性的变化。//
许多传统的消费热点正在悄悄降温，新的消费亮点已崭露头角，过去单一的节假日购物消费已向多元化消费转变。//
从节假日休闲娱乐消费来看，同样也在悄然发生着变化。人们的假日休闲娱乐消费已突破了以往上舞厅、打保龄球等传统方式。//
取而代之的是市民选择在图书馆静静地阅读，或举家到博物馆游览参观，市民休闲的文化气息正在不断增强。
Passage 2:
根据房地产权威部门的统计，去年中国的住房平均价格达到了每平方米2226元，以前年高出6%。//
北京、上海和广州的住房价格在全国范围内位居前列，每平方米超过了3400元。市中心商业区及周边地区的房价则更为昂贵。//
上述三大城市的住房销售资料显示，去年房地产市场的总体增长主要出现在上半年，下半年的增长幅度有所下降。//
我认为，由于去年下半年新建成的房产项目不断积累，未售出的存量房增长幅度已超过7%，今年的住房销售总量将有所减缓。

Part A
Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in English. After you have heard each paragraph, interpret it into Chinese. Start interpreting at the signal…and stop it at the signal… You may take notes while you are listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now let’s begin Part A with the first passage.
Passage 1:
When traveling in the United States, you should know about finding a place to stay. Probably the best thing to do is to look in the Yellow Pages under Hotel, Motel or Lodging. You can compare the se4rvices offered in their advertisements.//
Motels and inns have plenty of parking space and lakes.//
Beds also go by many different names, such as single, double, queen and king size ones. Some hotels even offer their guests waterbeds, “Long boy” beds, rollaways or hide-a-beds.//
If you prefer camping to staying in hotels, you can camp in state and national parks, though, which generally have facilities for both tents and trailers.
Passage 2:
I am speaking in strong protest against the construction of very tall buildings in the city, such as skyscrapers. Skyscrapers are a man-made hazard, which will have damaging effect on our environment and our lives.//
As an increasing number of ecologists point out, a cluster of high-rise buildings in a city often overburden public transportation and parking-lot capacities.//
Skyscrapers are lavish consumers of electric power. Moreover, skyscrapers block bird flyways, and obstruct air traffic.//
I think many architects build skyscrapers for personal ambition, at the cost of the environment. To protect our environment for us and for our children, we should stop our cities form growing any higher.
