2.近年来中国的许多城市都被灰霾(smog)笼罩，这种灰霾天气导致了交通瘫痪(cripple)、航班延迟等许多其他问题。引起灰霾天气的原因有很多，最主要的原因是空气质量的恶化。随着城市人口的增长和工业的发展，机动车辆猛增，污染物大量增加，直接导致了空气能见度降低。相关数据显示，能见度降低使交通事故频发。此外，灰霾会对人们的身体健康造成极大危害，最近几年患呼吸系统疾病(respiratory disease)的人数已经猛增。因此，减少污染源和削减大气污染物是解决雾霾的根本之道。

Recently many cities in China are shrouded by smog and the smoggy weather has caused the crippled traffic, flight delays and many other problems. There are multiple factors contributing to the smoggy weather, the most important of which is the deterioration of air quality. With the growth of urban population and the development of industy ,motor vehicles surge and the amount of pollutants increases massively in large cities,which directly reduces air visibility.Relevant statistics reveal that the

6.如今，越来越多的大学生抱怨很难找到好工作。造成这一现象的原因如下：首先，大学生把在校的大多数时间都用在了专业学科学习上，只有当他们开始找工作的时候，才意识到自己缺乏必要的职业培训。其次，大学生之间的竞争也越来越激烈，这导致任何一名大学生找到工作的机会都变小了。因此，强烈建议大学生在课余时间做一些兼职工作，以积累相关的工作经验。

Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulties in finding a good job. The reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: First, college students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training. Second, competition among graduates has become more and more fierce. And this results in a decreased chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.

7.中国一个幅员辽阔、资源丰富、历史悠久的多民族国家，每个民族都有其独特的丰富菜肴。地域菜系在地理环境、气候、文化传统、民族风俗和其他因素的影响下经过悠久历史的发展已经成形。最有影响力、最具代表性的是鲁、川、粵、闽、苏、浙、湘、徽菜系，这八种被人们称为“八大菜系”。中国的“八大菜系”是以多种多样的烹饪方法区分的，各有其长处。

China is a time-honored multi-ethnics nation with a vast territory and abundant resources, and every ethnic group has its unique abundant dishes. Regional cuisines have taken shape after long-history evolution under the influence of geographical environment, climate, cultural tradition, folk customs and other factors. The most influential and representative ones are Lu, Chuan，Yue, Min, Su，Zhe, Xiang and Hui Cuisines, which are commonly known as “Eight Major Cuisines”. Dishes in the “Eight Major Cuisines”in China are characterized by diversified cooking skills, with each having its strong points.

8.中国城市化(urbanization)将会充分释放潜在内需(domestic demand)。一些经济学家指出，在中国几乎所有的发展中城市都面临着城市化的进程。这使得许多人的生活水平有所提高，也为人们提供更多的就业

机会。随着越来越多的人向城市迁徙，住房及城市基础设施建设(infrastructure construction)，包括水源等能源的供应将会成为城市发展的焦点问题。商品与服务的自由、快速流通是城市化社会的一项基本特征。逐渐扩张的城市需要更多的零售店来满足消费者的需求。

China’s urbanization will release the ful l potential of domestic demand. Some economists point out that urbanization is a process that is occurring in nearly every developing city in the country. It will lead to a better quality of life for many people，and provide individuals with more job opportunities. The construction of housing and city infrastructure, including water and energy supplies, will be a focal point of urban development as more people migrate to cities. Urbanization means better access to educational and medical resources in the city. But it also predicts less use of personal vehicles and more use of public transportation. The fast, free flow of goods and services is a basic trait of an urbanized society. Expanding cities require more retail outlets to serve customers.

9.许多刚毕业的大学生找不到工作，在校学生则担心他们的未来。多个调查显示，三分之二的中国毕业生想在政府或者国有企业工作，而不是为中国令人瞩目的经济增长提供动力的民营企业。政府和国有企业被

认为能免受经济萧条的影响。如今几乎没有大学生愿意放弃政府的铁饭碗而下海、加入初创企业或自己创业。

Many recent college graduates can’t find a job and students are fearful about their future. Two-thirds of Chinese graduates say they want to work either in the government or state-owned firms，which are seen as recession-proof, rather than at the private companies that have powered China‘s remarkable economic climb, surveys indicate. Few college students today, according to the surveys, are ready to leave the safe shores of government work and jump into the sea to join startups or go into business.

10.茶马古道(Tea-horse Ancient Road)两边，生活着20多个少数民族。不同的地方有着各自美丽而神奇的自然风景和传统文化，比如：大理，丽江古城，香格里拉(Shangrila)，雅鲁藏布江大峡谷和布达拉宫(Potala Palace)。古道的两旁有庙宇、岩石壁画、骚站(post house)，古桥和木板路，还有少数民族舞蹈和民族服装。时至今天，虽然这条古道的踪迹都消失了，但它的文化和历史价值仍然存在。

11.秦朝是第一个统一中国的朝代。秦始皇作为中国的首个皇帝而被人们所记住。他以绝对的权威进行无情的统治，甚至破坏了与他的理念不一致的古代惯例和文学。虽然秦朝只持续了15年，但它对于中国文化的影响是巨大的。它引入了封建制度，并使之成为了帝制中国的核心特征。它标准化了度量衡，货币以及书面语。它还完成了巨大的基础设施建设，包括最早起的长城。

China’s popular sports have developed rapidly in the past 50 years.During the early period of new China,people just did aerobic exercises to radio music during break times,and took part in the spring and autumn sports meets held each year.As society progressed and the economy developed,recreational sports started to permeate all levels of society.Since the reform and opening to the outside world started,sports activities have been rich in variety,and more and more people consider regular sports activities to be part of their daily lives.

13.传统的中国音乐可以追溯到7000-8000年前，这基于对一只新石器时代骨头做成的笛子的发现。在夏商周时期，只有皇家和达官显贵才能享受发自编钟和铜铃的音乐。在唐朝，舞蹈和歌唱进入了主流，从宫廷蔓延到了寻常人家。伴随着诸如佛教和伊斯兰教等异国宗教的引入，中国音乐吸收了宗教旋律，并且在宗教庙宇所举办的集会中被中国人所欣赏

Traditional Chinese music can be traced back to 7000-8000 years ago based on the discovery of a bone flute made in the Neolithic Age.In the Xia,Shang and Zhou Dynasties,only royal families and dignitary officials could enjoy music made on chimes and bells.During the Tang Dynasty,dancing and singing entered the mainstream,spreading from the royal court to the common people.With the introduction of foreign religions such as Buddhism and Islam,religious melodies were absorbed into Chinese music and were enjoyed by the Chinese people at rairs organized by religious temples.

14.中国通过动员全社会的资源来发展学前教育。虽然当地政府会开办幼儿园，但也鼓励单位团体、社会组织以及个人去开办幼儿园。幼儿园采用将儿童保育和教育相结合的原则，并且保证幼儿得到体力、智力、道德和美学的全方位发展。让玩耍成为活动的主要形式，幼儿园创造了一个适于学习的良好环境，并且给婴幼儿们提供机会和条件来练习和展现他们的才能。

units,social organizations and individuals are also encouraged to open kindergartens.Kindergartens apply the principle of combi ing child care with education,and ensure that the infants achieve all-round physical,intellectual,moral and aesthetic development.With play as the basic form of activity,kindergartens create a good environment for

learning and provide the infants with opportunities and conditions to exercise and display their abilities.

15.在中国，食物是用大的公用帕子来盛装的，而且基本上都会提供公用的筷子来讲食物从公用的盘子里弄到你自己的盘子里。如果有公用的筷子来分开食物。如果没有，或是不确定有没有，你可以先等一等，看其他人是怎么做的，然后效仿就行。有时候热心的中国主人会帮你讲食物分到你的碗里，这很正常。

In China,the food is served via large communal plates,and in nearly every case ,you will be supplied with communal chopsticks for transferring food from the main plates to your own.you should use the communal chopsticks if they are supplied.If they are not or you are unsure,wait for someone to serve food to their own plates,and then copy what they do.On occasion,it is normal for an eager Chinese host to place food into your bowl.

the world's largest exporter, and is attracting a large numberof foreign investment. At the same time, it also has invested billions ofdollars abroad. In 2011, China overtook Japan and became the second largesteconomy。

17.在西方人心目中，和中国联系最为密切的基本食物是大米。长期以来，大米在中国人的饮食中占据很重要的地位，以至于有谚语说“巧妇难为无米之炊”。中国南方大多数种植水稻，人们通常以大米为主食;而华北大部分地区因为过于寒冷或过于干燥，无法种植水稻，那里的主要作物是小麦。在中国，有些人用面粉做面包，但大多数人用面粉做馒头和面条。

In the eyes of Westerners, the basic food that is most closely connected with China is rice. For a long time, rice plays a very important role in Chinese people's diet .There is a very famous proverb goes like this: Even a clever woman [housewife] cannot cook a meal without rice(You cannot make bricks without straw).

品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日，因此，快递能在中国扩展就不足为奇了。

China has many these kinds of special shopping days, so the expansion of courier service in China is not surprising。

19.越来越多的中国年轻人正对旅游产生兴趣，这是近年来的新趋势。年轻游客数量的不断增加，可以归因于他们迅速提高的收入和探索外部世界的好奇心。随着旅行多了，年轻人在大城市和著名景点花的时间少了，他们反而更为偏远的地方所吸引。有些人甚至选择长途背包旅行。最近调查显示，很多年轻人想要通过旅行体验不同的文化、丰富知识、拓宽视野。
