　　ORAL TEST FOR ENGLISH MAJORS (2005)

　　-GRADE EIGHT-

　　Task One: Interpreting from English into Chinese

　　Directions: Please do not do interpreting when you listen to the speech this time.

　　A Speech by the Chairman and CEO of IBM in Beijing

　　Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, •

　　IBM has enjoyed a relationship with China that has endured for more than half a century, but I do not believe there has ever been a more exciting time to be doing business here. \fest new opportunities are bang created by your sweeping modernization and ambitious government-led reform programs for thousands of state-owned enterprises.

　　This transformation, I believe, will underscore the critical importance of information technology as a driver of competitive success and economic growth for China.

　　So today, I want to talk to you about what I believe has to be on the agenda for every leader of a corporation, government agency, university, or hospital anywhere in the world - the agenda regarding information technology.

　　Some of you know that before I came to IBM, my background was much like yours I was an IBM customer, a customer of the computer industry I arrived at IBM I with the firm conviction that this technology is one of those transformational technologies that comes along every hundred years or so and changes everything in society.

　　Today, in almost every industry in almost every part of the world there are many examples of enterprises applying information technology to increase their competitiveness. I think we're seeing this technology reach the point that all transformational technologies reach when they are no longer controlled by just a small group of skilled professionals

　　Networking technology is still in its infancy, yet it has already reached the point where we can call it a new mass medium. Less than 5 years after the birth of the Internet, some 90 million people are online around the world, and that number will soon be hundreds of millions. Here in China, the number of Internet users has nearly doubled since last October, and I've seen statistics that say your Internet population will exceed 7 million people by the year 2002

　　Directions: Now listen again. Please begin interpreting when you hear a beep.
