　　SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH?

　　Translate the following underlined part of the text into English. Write your translation onANSWER SHEET THREE.?

　　中国科技馆的诞生来之不易。与国际著名科技馆和其他博物馆相比，它先天有些不足，后天也常缺乏营养，但是它成长的步伐却是坚实而有力的。它在国际上已被公认为后起之秀 。?

　　世界上第一代博物馆属于自然博物馆，它是通过化石、标本等向人们介绍地球和各种生物的演化历史。第二代属于工业技术博物馆，它所展示的是工业文明带来的各种阶段性结果。这两代博物馆虽然起到了传播科学知识的作用，但是，它们把参观者当成了被动的旁观者。

　　世界上第三代博物馆是充满全新理念的博物馆。在这里，观众可以自己去动手操作，自己细心体察。这样，他们可以更贴近先进的科学技术，去探索科学技术的奥妙。?

　　中国科技馆正是这样的博物馆!它汲取了国际上一些著名博物馆的长处，设计制作了力学、光学、电学、热学、声学、生物学等展品，展示了科学的原理和先进的科技成果。?

　　SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE?

　　Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SH EET THREE.?

　　If people mean anything at all by the expression “untimely death”, they m us t believe thatsome deaths nm on a better schedule than others. Death in old age is rarely called untimely—along life is thought to be a full one. But with the passing of a young person, one assumes thatthe best years lay ahead and the measure of that life was still to be taken.?

　　History denies this, of course. Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those ofMariLarry Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete. Writerscannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their ownlives as failures when they pass that year. The id ea that the life cut short is unfulfilled isillogical because lives are measure d by the impressions they leave on the world and by theirintensity and virtue.

　　SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH?

　　The first-generation museums in the world are museums of natural history. With fossils andspecimens they introduce to people the evolution of the earth an d various living organisms onit. The second-generation museums are those of industrial technology. Fruits of various stagesof industrial civilization are on display here. Although these two generations of muslins haveplayed the role of spreading scientific knowledge, they regard visitors as passive spectators.?

　　The world’s third-generation museums are full of completely new concepts. H ere visitors cancarry out operations and careful observations themselves. In this way they come closer toadvanced achievements in science and technology so as to probe their mystery.?

　　SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE?

　　提起英年“早逝”，人们或有所指。人们定会相信有些人死亡的时刻更为适宜。寿终正寝极少称为“早逝”。长寿即意味着生命之完整。但英年早逝常令人感到逝者美好时光尚未到来，一生之评说尚未做出。然而，历史却否认这点,提起杰出的早逝者，人们定会亿起玛丽莲·梦露和詹姆士·迪恩。两人生命短暂，却完美无缺。诗人约翰·济慈26岁与世长辞，作家们对此难以接受。而他们自己过了26岁时却只能半开玩笑地认为今生今世无所作为。生命短暂即未成果这—观念荒谬无理。生命的价值取决于它留给世界的印象、它的贡献及它的美德。

　　Education as a Lifelong Process?

　　When education is mentioned, we can easily think of school, colleges and young people. In fact,education is so important in modern society that it can be viewed as a lifelong process.?

　　First, it’s the requirement of fast-developing society, to accept education despite of your age.Our world is changing dramatically with the development of new science and technology. Aperson who completed his education at school in 70s or 80s may have encountered newproblems when he is working now. The problems might have something to do with his major orother aspects. For example an accountant now must master the skills of accounting throughcomputers, which is the basic tools for him, so he should also learn how to apply his job in acomputer. No matter how old is he.?

　　Secondly, education creates human character and moralities. Through education, youth maylearn how to make contributions to the world. And the old may learn new things to enrich theirlives. Through education, a healthy person can become stronger and a disabled person canhave a new hope on his life. Man can find great pleasure by accepting education.?

　　Thirdly, our modem society has provided everyone the chance to accept education. As long asyou wish you could get education by attending night-schools, adult colleges, training centersand even long-distance education through Internet and TV.?

　　In one word, knowledge is limitless. And life is limited. So education is a lifelong process.?
