Internet community in China is developing fastest in the world. In 2010, there were approximately 420 million netizens, and the number is still on a speedy increase. The growing popularity of the Internet has led to significant social changes. Usually, Chinese netizens are different from their American counterparts. American netizens use it more often for practical needs, and they use it to send emails, purchase and buy commodities, plan tours or pay. For Chinese netizens, the Internet is more frequently used for social purpose, and thus, QQ and chatting rooms are widely preferred.

1. 2015年6月第一套P7到P10从section C到最后的翻译部分全部删掉,整体更换为: Section C
Directions:
There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
The endless debate about “work-life balance” often contains a hopeful footnote about stay-at-home dads. If American society and business won’t make it easier on future female leaders who choose to have children, there is still the ray of hope that increasing numbers of full-time fathers will. But based on today’s socioeconomic trends, this hope is, unfortunately, misguided.
It’s true that the number of men who have left work to do their thing as full-time parents has doubled in a decade, but it’s still minuscule: only 0.8% of married couples where the stay-at-home father was out of the labor force for a year. Even that percentage is likely inflated by men thrust into their caretaker role by a downsizing. This is simply not a large enough group to reduce the social stigma(污名) and force other adjustments necessary to supporting men in this decision, even if only for a relatively short time.
Even shorter times away from work for working fathers are already difficult. A study found that 85% of new fathers take some time off after the birth of a child—but for all but a few, it’s a week or two at most. Meanwhile, the average for women who take leave is more than 10 weeks.
Such choices impact who moves up in the organization. While you’re away, someone else is doing your work, making your sales, taking care of your customers. That can’t help you at work. It can only hurt you.” Women, of course, face the same issues of returning after a long absence. But with many more women than men choosing to leave the workforce entirely to raise families, returning from an extended parental leave doesn’t raise as many eyebrows as it does for men.
Women would make more if they didn’t break their earning trajectory(轨迹) by leaving the workforce, or if higher-paying professions were more family-friendly. In the foreseeable future, stay-at-home fathers may make all the difference for individual families, but their presence won’t reduce the numbers of high-potential women who are forced to choose between family and career.
56. What gives women a ray of hope to achieve work-life balance?
A) More men taking an extended parental leave. B) People’s changing attitude towards family.
C) More women entering business management. D) The improvement of their socioeconomic status.
57. Why does the author say the hope for more full-time fathers is misguided?
58. Why do few men take a long parental leave?
59. What is the most likely reaction to men returning from an extended parental leave?
60. What does the author say about high-potential women in the not-too-distant future?
A) They will benefit from the trend of more fathers staying at home. B) They will find high-paying professions a bit more family-friendly. C) They are unlikely to break their career trajectory to raise a family. D) They will still face the difficult choice between career and children. A) Jealousy. B) Surprise.
C) Admiration. D) Sympathy.
A) A long leave will have a negative impact on their career. B) They just have too many responsibilities to fulfill at work. C) The economic loss will be too much for their family to bear. D) They are likely to get fired if absent from work for too long. A) Women are better at taking care of children. B) Many men value work more than their family. C) Their number is too small to make a difference. D) Not many men have the chance to stay at home.
Passage Two
Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage.
Some of the world’s most significant problems never hit headlines. One example comes from agriculture. Food riots and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in yields of some of the world’s major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.
The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soybeans(大豆). They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and 2000s.
There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the world’s most populous(人口多的) countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self-sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.
Second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soyabeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soyabeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”
The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organisation has argued.
Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughted up for crops might be able to revert(回返) to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in yields, which may not actually happen.
注意:此部分试题请在答题卡2上作答。
61. What does the author try to draw attention to?
62. Why does the author mention India and China in particular?
63. What does the new study by the two universities say about recent crop improvement efforts?
A) Their self-sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets. B) Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years. C) Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns. D) Their food self-sufficiency has been taken for granted. A) Food riots and hunger in the world. B) News headlines in the leading media.
C) The decline of the grain yield growth. D) The food supply in populous countries.
A) They fail to produce the same remarkable results as before the 1980s. B) They contribute a lot to the improvement of human food production. C) They play a major role in guaranteeing the food security of the world. D) They focus more on the increase of animal feed than human food grains.
. What does the Food and Agriculture Organisation say about world food production in the coming decades?
65. How does the author view the argument of the Food and Agriculture Organisation?
A) It is built on the findings of a new study. B) It is based on a doubtful assumption. C) It is backed by strong evidence. D) It is open to further discussion.
A) The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies. B) The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution. C) The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed. D) The world will be able to feed its population without increasing farmland.

据报道,今年中国快递服务(courier service)将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日,中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日,因此,快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。

This is a simple, funny but enlightening cartoon, in which a mother is sending her son to go to school. However, to her surprise, the youngster responds, “Why am I going to school if my phone knows everything?”
Evidently, this picture can be naturally associated with kids’ incorrect understanding of going to school. As a college student, I deem that it is of great necessity for any teenagers to enhance their
comprehensive quality and competence by attending school. In the contemporary society, if youngsters intend to be talents, it is advisable for them to acquire not only knowledge, but also cooperation, diligence and communicative skills. However, today, it has become a trend for a host of students to gain diverse information through cell phones or computers. Meanwhile, a growing number of teenagers find it convenient and efficient to learn with the help of phones. But, it is also cell phones that lead many students to misunderstand or even ignore the essence of education. A case in point is the guy in the picture.
Do bear in mind: education does not merely mean “knowing everything”. Thus, parents and teachers should educate and encourage their kids to cultivate this awareness. (198 words)

Part IV Translation
【中文原文】
中国父母往往过于关注孩子的学习,以至于不要他们帮忙做家务。他们对孩子的唯一要求就是努力学习,考得好,能上名牌大学。他们相信这是为孩子好,因为在中国这样竞争激烈的社会里,只有成绩好才能保证前途光明。中国父母还认为,如果孩子能在社会上取得大的成就,父母就会受到尊敬。因此,他们愿意牺牲自己的时间、爱好和兴趣,为孩子创造更好的条件。
【关键词语】 过度的:excessive 关注:pay attention to
家务:housework 唯一:sole = only 要求:requirement
名牌大学:universities with great prestige 相信:deem= believe 竞争激烈的:competitive 保证:ensure
前途光明:a promising future 成就:achievement 愿意:be willing to do sth. 牺牲:sacrifice 爱好:hobby 兴趣:interest
【参考译文】
Chinese parents usually pay so excessive attention to their children’s study that they do not require their children to help doing any housework. Their sole requirement for their kids is that they should study hard, obtain excellent grades, and enter universities with great prestige. Chinese parents deemthat this is beneficialto their children because they are convinced thatin such a fiercely competitive society like China, only good grades can ensure a promising future for their kids. In addition, parents in China also believe that if their children can achieve great success in society, they will be respected accordingly. Therefore, they are willing to sacrifice their own time, hobbies and interest to create a more favourable condition for their children. 【语法点拨】
1. 他们对孩子的唯一要求就是努力学习,考得好,能上名牌大学。
【简析】本句主干提炼为“主+系+表语从句”,其中由于主语为“requirement”,“表语从句”则应该使用虚拟语气,即:“should +v.”的结构。
译为:Their sole/only requirement for their kids is that they should study hard, obtain/gain excellent grades/scores and enter universities with great prestige.
“universities with great prestige/ fame”为“famous universities”的升级版表达。
2.他们相信这是为孩子好,因为在中国这样竞争激烈的社会里,只有成绩好才能保证前途光明。
【简析】本句的多个表达均为写作高频词,如“相信”、“竞争激烈的”、“确保”、“前途光明”等;
“这是为孩子好”可译为:this is beneficial to their children或this is for their children’s good.
Chinese parents 引导原因状语从句可以使用since或because。整句还可译为:think that this is for their children’s good because they believe thatin such a fiercely competitive society like China, only good grades can ensure a promising future for their kids.
3.因此,他们愿意牺牲自己的时间、爱好和兴趣,为孩子创造更好的条件。
【简析】本句主干可译为:they are willing to …或they are ready to…,“为了„„”可译为:to do sth. / in order to do sth. / for the purpose of doing sth.
除参考译文外,本句还可译为:Thus, they are ready to sacrifice their time, hobbies and interest for the purpose of creating a better condition for their kids.
