试题1

On this side of the Huangpu, the eclectic old buildings speak to us of China’s history. On the opposite bank, the towering skyscrapers of Pudong say much about its future. More than that, the Bund itself is testament to the deep historical roots of the UK’s trading links with China. The Custom House clock, the international symbol of Shanghai, was made in Shropshire; its bells were cast in Leicestershire. 

试题2:

Jazz is so much more than music: it is a lifestyle and a tool for dialogue, even social change. The history of jazz tells of the power of music to bring together artists from different cultures and backgrounds, as a driver of integration and mutual respect. Through jazz, millions of people have sung and still sing today their desire for freedom, tolerance and human dignity.

试题3:

UNESCO established International Jazz Day to promote these values. This year, once again, hundreds of events and concerts will be organized worldwide, by authorities, music schools and concert halls. The main event will take place this year in Japan – in Osaka, a city where jazz draws strength from a tradition that dates back to the 1920s, and which has kept its energy vibrant up to the present day.

试题4:

As China expands and hundreds of millions of Chinese become richer, they will want the products in which Britain excels – Jaguar Land Rover cars, Burberry fashion, top quality entertainment including television and film. And we’re proving that we’re well-matched economic partners with the business deals being done today, from Jaguar Land Rover’s £4.5 billion of new sales to small companies with pioneering technology.

试题5:

Modern Water has landed contracts worth an anticipated £20 million. One of Britain’s best museums, the V&A, is undertaking to develop a new museum in Shenzhen. As governments, we’re building the environment for our businesses to flourish in the long-term, with new agreements on investments and patents, a new £200 million joint research fund, which will boost innovation, and a digital alliance which could unleash £2 billion of investment.

试题6:

Now I’ve also had the opportunity in my philanthropic work to meet people who apply their talents and passion in giving back grace. Many of these people are impatient to see the world to improve their optimist will. People who believe in the possibility of change and are eager to do something about it. Doctors courageous enough to risk their own lives to save the lives of others suffering from Ebola. 

试题7:

Entrepreneurs use their ingenuity to deliver life-saving drugs to remote villages by drone. People of all walks of life volunteer their time to help the homeless. Maybe you want to develop the next vaccine that protects everyone from malaria, design the battery that lights people’s desks at night, or the mobile technology that will allow people to start new businesses. No matter what your ambition is, this is the best time to do it.

试题8:

I’m not worried about artificial intelligence giving computers the ability to think like humans. I’m more concerned about people thinking like computers without values or compassion, without concern for consequences. That is what we need you to help us guard against. Because if science is a search in the darkness, then the humanities are a candle that shows us where we’ve been and the danger that lies ahead. 

试题9:

As Steve once said, technology alone is not enough. It is technology married with the liberal arts, married with the humanities that make our hearts sing. When you keep people at the center of what you do, it can have an enormous impact. It means an iPhone that allows the blind person to run a marathon. It means technology infused with your values, making progress possible for everyone.

试题10:

Bob Dylan, born in May 1941 in Minnesota, is an American singer-songwriter, author, poet and disc jockey, who has been a major figure in popular music for nearly five decades. Much of Dylan’s most celebrated work dates from the 1960s. A number of his songs, such as Blowing in the Wind and A Hard Rain’s Gonna Fall, became anthems of the anti-war and civil rights movements. 

试题11:

Dylan’s early lyrics incorporated politics, social commentary, philosophy and literary influences, defying existing pop music conventions and appealing widely to the counterculture. While expanding and personalizing musical styles, he has shown steadfast devotion to many traditions of American song, from folk, blues and country to gospel, rock and roll and even jazz and swing.

试题12:

The oldest Irish literature consists of stories and poems about ancient kings and heroes, which were transmitted orally in Irish. The written literature did not begin until Christian missionaries arrived in the 5th century AD and introduced the Roman alphabet, which was then adapted to the Irish language. Anglo-Irish writers dominated Irish literature during the 17th and 18th centuries.

试题13:

But by the 19th century, the Irish wanted to revive Gaelic culture and the Irish language. These movements linked literature with the cause of Irish political and cultural independence from Britain. Modern Irish literature is characterized by wit and humor, often in the form of satire or irony. Another defining feature has been an exploration of the riches of language and an enjoyment of wordplay. 

试题14:

“The Renaissance” movement first started in Italy during the 14th century. The intellectual wisdom of ancient Greece and Rome encouraged a rebirth of human spirit, a realization of human potential for development and creation. Never before in human history were men and women so eager to create and discover something new. In Italy, a group of artists, scientists, politicians, and writers created the most brilliant page of culture and science in Europe. 

试题15:

British poetry, drama and prose, are greatly developed during the Renaissance. England as an insular country followed a course of social and political history, which was largely independent of the course of history elsewhere in Europe. Owing to the great genius of the 14th century poet Chaucer, the native literature was sufficiently vigorous and experienced in assimilating foreign influences without being subjected by them. 

试题16:

The Maya were believed to be one of the most intelligent of the ancient cultures. They seemed to be excellent farmers. They cultivated maize, beans, and chili peppers, and also cash crops of cotton and cacao. This cannot have been easy, as the climate was inhospitable. They also built their settlements next to natural watering holes. The Maya devised a complex style of hieroglyphic writing that has yet to be fully deciphered.

试题17:

The Maya knew lots about science, math and astrology. They used math and astronomy to predict eclipses and other heavenly events with great precision and formulated a unique calendar system more exact than the one we use today. Maya culture dates back to 1500 BC. No one was sure how this wonderful civilization fell. It could be insufficient food supply, earthquakes, pestilence, invasion or internal rebellion.

春节贴年画是节庆活动的重要内容之一,年画多为祈福内容,以增添节日氛围。其中一些含有道德寓意,在教育不普及的旧时代,这些画起到了教育作用,一些年画以忠孝仁义、善恶有报等为内容。

试题2:

仕女图是另一个受欢迎的年画题材。随着人们物质生活水平的提高,挂历的内容又增加了书法绘画以及名胜古迹等内容,为了使挂历成为有价值的新年礼品,丝绸金箔等材料代替了纸张。90年代末以后挂历渐渐过时。

试题5:

当代社会的任何一个民族,其先进文化不是孤立的现象,而是与其他民族的文明进行广泛交流的产物。当然,文化交流不是让外国文化吞没自己的文化;任何一个民族的文化,其根基与主流必须具有这个民族的鲜明特征。

试题6:

打个比喻,吸取外国文化是一个入口、咀嚼和消化的过程。我们应该去伪存真、去粗存精、多出优进、抵御腐蚀的原则。我不认为各种文化的不同特点和风格会因此而消失,相反,不同的文化可以取长补短,互为补充。

试题7:

我很高兴有机会向各位朋友介绍中国的烹调。中国人非常重视“吃”。“民以食为天”这句俗话迄今还广为传诵。食物可口和营养丰富一直被当作日常生活的基本要素。中国的烹饪文化源远流长;距今约3500年。

试题8:

中国的烹饪文化起始于商周朝,中国现有的菜肴品种有11000种之多。烹调方法有也有50多种。在漫长的发展过程中,中国菜逐渐分化为南北两大口味,一般来说,南方菜讲究鲜嫩。而北方菜油重一些。

试题9:

气功的字面意思是“呼吸练习”,在中国,气功的历史可以追溯到3 000年前。这种锻炼的目的是强身健体,延年益寿,抵御疾病,增强生理机能。今天健身气功在中国正日益受到欢迎,尤其在老年人和慢性病患者中很流行。

试题10:

健身气功是中国特有的民族运动。事实上,它既是运动又是理疗。健身气功有许多流派,但都包含三个基本方面,那就是调节身体部位,调节呼吸,和调节意念,即把注意力集中在某一方面以达到心平气和思想集中的效果。

试题11:

有些人认为风水是迷信,但风水其实是环境学、心理学和卫生学的结合。在风水学中,那些对居住环境构成不良影响的物体声音气味光线等都被称为“煞”,比如房间的光线过明或过暗,都会对人的情绪产生负面影响。

试题12:

风水可以帮助人们适应有害的环境,风水中有中国传统文化的因素,最主要的就是金、木、水、火、土五行之说的影响。五行说的本质是事物相生相克,人们应趋利避害,换句话说就是达到平衡。

试题13:

孔子出生于中国历史上的春秋末期。他被认为是中国最有影响的道德家和政治哲学家。在公元前390年至309年的战国时期,人们将他的学说扩充并进行系统整理,不过我们今天所了解的孔子学说是汉朝才形成的。

试题14:

它是以一整套的道德规范为根本的,比如孔子信奉善心、人性和友爱或者说“仁”。为人要行为端正、讲道德、负责任,这就“义”。一个人不能为了自己获得好处而妨碍别人,这就是“礼”。

试题15:

大家不远万里来到北京,用中国人的话来说,就是大家有缘分,有缘千里来相会。刚才我在门口迎接大家,看到各位都穿上中国式服装,既充满了中国传统元素,又体现了现代气息,让我们更感亲近。老百姓也会感到亲切。

试题16:

各位女士的服饰格外鲜丽,群芳荟萃、姹紫嫣红,为今天的晚宴增加了一道亮丽的风景线。我们现在所在的地方叫水立方,对面是鸟巢,这两个建筑一方一圆,这蕴含着天圆地方中国的哲学理念,形成了阴阳平衡的统一。

试题18:

我想再强调一下,中医药通过继承发扬,一定会造福人类。最后,我想用两句唐诗来结束我的演讲:欲穷千里目,更上一层楼。请各位有机会时更上一层楼,去领略中国文化的魅力,发现蕴涵于中医药中的美和宝藏!

试题19:

儒道两家都产生于春秋末期,是中国古代文明的理论结晶,是形成最早的两大学派。孔子和老子是最早建立私家学派的先行者。从宇宙论来看,儒、道两家都讲“天人合一”,但儒家偏重于人事,大力倡导张扬道德人格的力量。

试题20:

道家则偏重于“天道”,追求因顺自然。这种奇妙组合形成了中国独特的天人观念,既积极进取又审时度势。从政治上来看,儒家的“有为”政治与道家的“无为”政治往往相反相成,一张一弛。
