  Demographic indicators show that Americans in the postwar
  period were more eager than ever to establish families. They quickly
  brought down the age at marriage for both men and women and brought
  the birth rate to a twentieth century height after more than a hundred (1)__
  years of a steady decline, producing the “baby boom.” These young (2)__
  adults established a trend of early marriage and relatively large
  families that Went for more than two decades and caused a major (3)__
  but temporary reversal of long-term demographic patterns. From
  the 1940S through the early 1960s, Americans married at a high rate (4)__
  and at a younger age than their Europe counterparts.(5)__
  Less noted but equally more significant, the men and women on who (6)__
  formed families between 1940 and 1960 nevertheless reduced the (7)__
  divorce rate after a postwar peak; their marriages remained intact to
  a greater extent than did that of couples who married in earlier as well (8)__
  as later decades. Since the United States maintained its dubious (9)__

  temporary decline in divorce did not occur in the same extent in (10)__
  Europe. Contrary to fears of the experts, the role of breadwinner and
  homemaker was not abandoned.

  SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

  Translate the following text into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.

  得病以前,我受父母宠爱,在家中横行霸道,一旦隔离,拘禁在花园山坡上一幢小房子里,我顿觉打入冷宫,十分郁郁不得志起来。 一个春天的傍晚,园中百花怒放,父母在园中设宴,一时宾客云集,笑语四溢。我在山坡的小屋里,悄悄掀起窗帘,窥见园中大千世界,一片繁华,自己的哥姐,堂表弟兄,也穿插其间,个个喜气洋洋。一霎时,一阵被人摈弃,为世所遗的悲愤兜上心头,禁不住痛哭起来。

  SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

  Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.

  In his classic novel, “The Pioneers”, James Fenimore Cooper has his hero, a land developer, take his cousin on a tour of the city he is building. He describes the broad streets, rows of houses, a teeming metropolis. But his cousin looks around bewildered. All she sees is a forest. “Where are the beauties and improvements which you were to show me?” she asks. He’s astonished she can’t see them. “Where! Why everywhere,” he replies. For thought they are not yet built on earth, he has built them in his mind, and they are as concrete to him as if they were already constructed and finished.

  Cooper was illustrating a distinctly American trait, future-mindedness: the ability to see the present from the vantage point of the future; the freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more emotionally attached to things to come. As Albert Einstein once said, “Life for the American is always becoming, never being.”
