Translate the underlined sentences in the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.
A soaring dropout rate is causing the United Stated to lose ground educationally to rivals abroad and is trapping millions of young American at the very margins of the economy. (76)The Obama administration acknowledges the problems in its new budget, which includes a ＄50 million prevention programme, but solving this problem will require a lot more money and a comprehensive national strategy.
The alarming scope of the dropout crisis is laid out by the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University in Boston and the Alternative Schools Network in Chicago. (77)Their study, which examines data from the 12 largest states, finds that 16 percent of the ages of 16 to 24 have dropped out.
(78) The problem is especially pronounced among men, who make up more than 60 percent of those who change school nationally. The dropout problem hits minorities really hard.
(79) Many of this country’s large urban high schools are rightly called “dropout factories” because more students leave school than graduate.
According to the study, state dropout rates are highest in the South, where Gerorgia (22.1 percent), Florida (20.1 percent) and Texas (18.5percent) lead the way.
(80) The dropout crisis presents a clear danger to national prosperity, but at the moment, states and localities are struggling to contain it with little help or guidance from the federal government. Congress, which is just waking up to this issue, can improve the situation by the putting its money and muscle behind proven programmes that have been shown to re-engage young people who have dropped out, and that keep at-risk children on track to complete their educations.

Section A (10 marks)
Translate the underlined sentences of the following passage into Chinese. Remember to write the answer sheet.
Embroidery (刺绣) is a brilliant pearl in Chinese art .(81) From the magnificent Dragon Robes worn by emperors to today’s fashions, embroidery adds a great deal of pleasure to our culture and our lives.
The oldest embroidery on record in China dates from the Shang Dynasty. Embroidery in this period symbolized social status. (82) It was not until later on, as the national economy developed, that embroidery entered the lives of the
common people.
After the Zhou Dynasty, the Han Dynasty witnessed a leap in both techniques and styles of embroidery. Embroidered objects ranged from the sun, the moon, stars, mountains dragons, and phoenixes to tigers, flowers and grasses, clouds and geometric patterns. Auspicious words were also fashionable. Both historic records and products of the time prove this.
The cultural relics found in the Mawangdui Han Tomb are the best evidence of this unprecedented development in embroidery.
In addition, embroidery unearthed from the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang , the ancient tombs in Turpan and northern Inner Mongolia ,further strengthen this observation .
(84) The Chinese word for embroidery is “xiu”, a picture or embroidery in five colours .It implies beautiful and magnificent things.
Embroidery was an elegant task for ladies who were forbidden to go out of their homes. (85)It was a good pastime to which they could devote their intelligence and passion . Imagine a beautiful young lady embroidering a dainty pouch .Stitch by stitch, she embroiders a pair of love birds for her lover .It’s a cold winter day and the room is filled with the aroma of incense. What a touching and beautiful picture!

Section D (10 marks)
Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage It is natural for young people to be critical of their parents at times and to blame them for most of the misunderstanding between them. They have always complained, more or less justly, that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are possessive and dominant; that they do not trust their children to deal with crises: that they talk too much about certain problems-and that they have no sense o humor, at least parent-child relationships.
I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they felt themselves when were young.
Young people often irritate their parents with their choices in clothes, hairstyles, entertainers and music. This is not their motive. They feel cut off from the adult world into which they have not yet been accepted, so they create a culture and society and their own. Then, if it turns out that their music, entertainers, vocabulary, clothes or hairstyles irritate their parents, this gives them additional enjoyment. They feel they are superior, at least in a small way, and that they are leaders in style and taste.
Sometimes teenagers are resistant and proud because they do not want their parents to approve of what they do. If they did approve, it looks as if the teenager is betraying his own age group. All this is assuming that the teenager is the underdog: he can not win but at least he can keep his honor. This is a passive way of looking at things. It is natural enough after years of childhood, when children
were completely under their parent’s control, but it ignores the fact that when they become teenagers, children are beginning to be responsible for themselves.
If you plan to control your life, co-operation should be a part of that plan. You can charm other people, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want. You can also impress people with your of responsibility and your initiative, so that they will give you the authority to do what you want to do.
Questions 76 to 78
Choose the best answer according to the passage. 76 the first paragraph is mainly about_____________.
A teenagers’ criticism of their parents
B misunderstanding between teenagers and their parents
C the dominance of parents over their children
D teenagers’ ability to deal with crises
77 teenagers have strange clothes and hairstyles because they___________
A have a strong desire to be leaders in style and taste
B want to prove their existence by creating a culture of their own
C have no other way to enjoy themselves
D want to irritate their parent
78 teenagers do not want their parents to approve of what they do because they _______________.
A have already been accepted into adult world
B feel that they are superior to adult world
C want to win adults over to their culture
D don’t want to appear to be disloyal to their own age group
Question 79 to 80
Translate the sentences in the passage into Chinese 79 I think it is true that parents often underestimate their teenage children and also forget how they felt themselves when were young
80 You can charm other people, especially your parents, into doing things the way you want.
