Each passage is followed by several questions based on its content. You are to choose ONE best answer, (A), (B), (C) or (D), to each question. Answer all the questions following each passage on the basis of what is stated or implied in that passage and write the letter of the answer you have chosen in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. Questions 21~25 Any request in the United Kingdom to remove a disabled person's ability to reproduce should be treated with great caution. The news that 15-year-old Katie Thorpe, who has severe cerebral palsy, may have a hysterectomy at her mother's request should be a cause of great concern for disabled people. This case raises profound legal and ethical dilemmas. Legally Katie should be assumed to be capable of making a decision and, if necessary, supported to do so before anyone else can decide what is or is not in her "best interests". Ethically we have to remember that right through the 20th century many countries in Europe and beyond legislated positively in favor of sterilising disabled people, often without their knowledge - let alone their consent. As Judge Holmes famously put it in a landmark case in the United States less than a century ago, "three generations of imbeciles are enough". With the shadow of this recent history still over us, we should exercise utmost caution before sanctioning decisions to remove any disabled woman's reproductive rights. The most effective path through both the legal and ethical dilemmas has to be to encourage self-determination on the part of disabled people such as Katie. Of course, the rights and needs of carers need to be taken into account as well, but it is imperative that this is never at the expense of the disabled person's own views. The reason that this case has caused so much controversy is that, on initial inspection, it appears that an assumption is being made about what is best for a disabled person without attempting to understand the desires of the individual who will be ultimately affected by the decision. Unfortunately, assumptions that limit disabled people's lives are prevalent in our society, and the medical profession is not immune. I have come across cases where disabled people who personally believe they enjoy a good quality of life, have been told by doctors that they assume they would not want to be resuscitated in the event

of respiratory failure. When the individuals tell the doctors that they would, of course, want to be resuscitated, they have been met with nothing but a puzzled look. Not only does the UK disability network Radar advocate that all disabled people should be the authors of their own destiny, but that they should have the appropriate support in place to enable them to achieve their hopes and ambitions. This does not just mean going to the shops, or having a rewarding job, but it also means a right to relationships and to family life, which means ensuring self-determination is a key aspect of everyone's existence. These are the rights that non-disabled people take for granted, and they must be afforded to all if we are to live in an equal society. We know that with the right support in place, true independent living is not only possible, but desirable both from a social and an economic perspective. Once we can live the lives that we want to live, we can encourage other disabled people to do the same. We all have ambitions, and we should all be enabled to fulfill them and inspire others. Before we can achieve this, we must have the mechanisms in place to ensure that people like Katie, and all others who cannot easily express their needs and desires, are fully represented in the legal system and our society as a whole. Life can be very difficult for parents who are also carers for their severely disabled children. But that does not mean that they always know what is in the best interests of their children. For all children, independence from their parents can be a hard-won right. For disabled young people, they may need support throughout their lives to achieve this. 30 minutes TRANSLATION TEST (1) SECTION 3 Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. The economic system of the United States is principally one of private ownership. In this system, consumers, producers and government make economic decisions on a daily basis, mainly through the price system. The dynamic interaction of these three groups makes the economic function. The market’s primary force, however, is the interaction of producers and consumers; hence the “market economy” designation. As a rule, consumers look for the best values for what they spend while producers seek the best price and profit for what they have to sell. Government, at the federal, state, and local level, seeks to promote public security, assure reasonable competition, and provide a range of services believed to be better performed by public rather than private enterprises. Generally, there are three kinds of enterprises: single-owner operated businesses, partnerships and corporations. The first two are important, but it is the latter structure that best permits the amassing of large sums of money by combining the investments of many people who, as stockholders, can buy and sell their shares of the business at any time on the open market. Corporations make large-scale enterprises possible.

30 minutes SECTION 4 TRANSLATION TEST (2) Directions: Translate the following passage into English and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. 说起上海老城，总会让人和古老传统的东西联系起来，比如明代的豫园和清代的城隍庙。上海建城有 700 多年历史，但最具人文发展历史的时期是开埠后的 150 年间，诸如华洋杂居、石库门、老字号等等，都发生在开埠后的上海。流传于老城内外的民间文化，丰富多彩。著名的“上海老城人物风情画卷”生动地描绘了上海老城市民的生活百态。上海老城是历史文明与现代文明的兼容并蓄，无论上海城市发展如何日新月异，她仍将记录着上海城市发展的历史华章。参考译文：美国的经济体制主要是一种私有制。在这一体制下，消费者、生产者和政府通过价格体系，每天都会做出经济决策。这三方的互动行使着经济职能。然而，市场的主要力量是生产者和消费者之间的相互作用，“市场经济”之名也正是由此而来。一般来说，消费者追求的是消费后所获价值的最大化，而生产者则是追求其所售物品的最理想价格和最大利润。而中央政府、州政府和地方政府则是希望促进公共安全，保证正当竞争以及提供各项服务。人们一般会认为这些服务由政府执行会比由私人企业执行效果好。总体而言，企业分为三类：个体私营企业、合资企业和股份公司。前两者很重要，但只有最后一种能够最大程度地将众多投资人的投资集合起来，进行大规模融资。而这些投资人作为股东，可以在公开的市场上买卖他们的企业份额。股份公司制使得大型企业成为可能。参考译文： The old town of Shanghai is always associated with something ancient and traditional, like the Yuyuan Garden in the Ming Dynasty and Chenghuangmiao (the Town God’s Temple or the City God Temple) in the Qing Dynasty. Despite a history of more than 700 years, the 150 years since it opened to foreign traders has witnessed the greatest humane development in Shanghai. In that period we have seen a Shanghai co-inhabited by Chinese locals and foreign nationals, the formation of the Shanghai Painting School, the building of Shikumen (stone-framed gate) houses, the development of time-honored firms or shops, and so on and so forth. Shanghai’s old town and beyond then featured a colorful folk culture, with all aspects of the life of local residents vividly depicted in the famous “The Painting Scroll of Local Residents in Shanghai’s Old Town”. Though Shanghai advances with each passing day, its old town, a harmonious combination of ancient and modern civilization, continues to be a glorious chapter in the history of the development of Shanghai city.
