Translation (3% *15=45%)
Directions: In this part of the test, you are required to read the following passages, and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.
Passage A
（1）Learning Chinese could be one of the most important decisions you ever make. Chinese is becoming the language to learn in the 21st century. With the world’s largest population and a rapidly growing middle class, China stands to become the engine of the world’s economy in the coming years. （2）This will make learning Chinese very important for people in many industries, or for those of us who wish to visit China or learn from its culture and history.
There is an ongoing effort to modernize the writing system and standardize the language. An increasing number of people learning Chinese are learning the Mandarin, so unless you absolutely need to learn another dialect (such as Cantonese), be sure you are studying Mandarin.
For native English speakers Chinese is one of the most difficult and most different languages to learn. （3）The vocabulary is wholly unfamiliar and unlike anything we know. In addition, in the Chinese tone system, words are spoken in rising or falling tones, which help to distinguish between them. Furthermore, there is the Chinese writing system—a collection of thousands of individual ideograms（表意文字）, or symbols, which represent a word or an idea. These ideograms have no phonetic（语音的） value—that is to say, (4) we can’t tell how the word is pronounced by how it is written. There is a method to present written Chinese in a phonetic script called pinyin. If you are learning Chinese, you’ll be working with this pinyin system, but the beauty of the traditional writing system shouldn’t be passed up. All these factors make learning Chinese difficult for us. Yet, for a determined learner, (5) there’s always a way to overcome it.

Passage B
This is always a busy time of year, but （6）please don’t forget to recycle as much as you can.
Put in Your Recycling Bins:
Cardboard— （7）this includes all the boxes your presents came in but please remove any plastic packaging. Plastic bottles — all plastic bottles including fizzy drinks and cider bottles, as well as milk, shampoo, cleaning and washing-up liquid bottles.
Christmas trees can be recycled in your fortnightly Garden Waste Collection Service as long as they are small trees chopped into pieces no bigger than 3 inches or 75mm in diameter. （8）For large trees please take them to your local Household Waste and Recycling Centers.
Please note the Garden Waste Collection Service is suspended (暂停的) between Dec 26th and Jan 6th .
Glass bottles and jars — empty wine bottles can be taken to the bottle bank together with beer bottles and pickle (泡菜) jars.
Clothes and shoes — （9）for your old clothes, take them to your local clothing recycling bank.
Please Do NOT Place in Your Recycling Bins:
Gift wrap — （10）Christmas gift wrapping does not contain much paper. It is often layered with foil (箔纸) and plastic which can’t be recycled.
Plastic carrier bags — please do not put your recyclables in these as it makes it difficult to sort the contents.
Plastic packaging — Although plastic packaging may have symbols which suggest it can be recycled, it is made of different types of plastic and there are no cost-effective ways to recycle it at present.
(6) please don’t forget to recycle as much as you can. [填空题] *
