PART V TRANSLATION (60 MIN)

SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

Translate the underlined part of the following text into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.

这些书,都是在全国解放以后,来到我家的。最初零零碎碎,中间成套成批。有的来自京沪,有的来自苏杭。最初,囊中羞涩,也曾交臂相失。中间也曾一掷千金,稍有豪气。总之,时历三十余年,我同它们,可称故旧。近几年,又为它们添加了一些新伙伴。当这些新书,进入我的书架,我不再打印章,写名字,只是给它们包裹一层新装,记下到此的岁月。这是因为,我意识到,我不久就会同它们告别了。我的命运是注定了的。但它们各自的命运,我是不能预知,也不能担保的。

SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

Translate the underlined part of the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.

In one sense, we cannot be faulted for seeing in the collapse of the Twin Towers, or in the demise of Enron, or in the bloody conflicts that have no end in sight, signs that things are falling apart all over the world. We cannot deny all that is wrong with the world. But neither can we conclude that all is wrong with the world. Everyday we see role models of excellence, goodness and courage who bring joy, beauty, justice, and comfort to their fellow human beings. And if the world is moving in the wrong direction, then you have the obligation to help turning things around. We admitted you to Penn because we believe each of you has the potential to help humanity back on the course. Yes, we look to you to add to the body of knowledge in your fields of study during your time at Penn; yes, we expect you to acquire the skills, knowledge, and prowess to excel and make important contributions in your careers and professions; and yes, I have no doubt that each of you will go far on whatever professional track you choose to follow.

PART VI WRITING (45 MIN)

As the Chinese people have always liked the pursuit of world rankings, being the

world's No. 2 luxury market has become a hot topic. Some white-collar's desire to show off one's taste for elegance locks middle-class Chinese into a competitive struggle to sport the latest and best Italian clothes, designer handbags, and the like. But the scramble for luxury products doesn't seem to have made Chinese any happier. Indeed, in the most recent University of Michigan World Values Survey, China ranked 46th in the world with respect to the happiness of its citizens. What is your view on this? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

In the first part of your writing you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.
