22出的协议必须达成一致才能通过。结果就是，重要的协议总是被狭隘的特殊利益所挟持，并且大部分协议都只是用来使自己的利益最大化。但真正的问题是世界上主要国.是否愿意看到民主最大限度地开展。联合国安理会，负责和平和安全，处理最重要的政治问题。安理会只有15个成员国，所以能经常性地应付危机。它曾一度由于冷战对立而停摆，但已经重新获得了联合国宪章给予的权利。2012年真题SECTIONACHINESETOENGLISH泊珍到偏远小镇的育幼院把生在那里养到1岁的孩子接回来。但泊珍看他第一眼，仿似一声雷劈头而来。令她晕头胀脑，这l岁的孩子脸型长得如此熟悉，她心里的第一道声音是，不能带回去!痛苦纠聚心中，眉心发烫发热，胸口郁闷难展，胃里一股气冲喉而上。院长说这孩子发育迟缓时，她更是心头无绪。她在孩子所待的房里来回踱步，这房里还有其他小孩。整个房间只有一扇窗，窗外树影婆娑。就让孩子留下来吧，这里有善心的神父和修女，这里将来会扩充为有医疗作用的看护中心，这是留住孩子最好的地方。这孩子是她的秘密，她将秘密留在这树林掩映的建筑罩。她将秘密留在心头。答案：Torturedbythepainsgatheringinherheart,shefeltsomethingwasburningbetweenhereyebrows.Herchestwasbrimmedwithdepressionwhichwaslikelytorunoutofherthroatatanymoment.Shecouldnotthinkclearlyanylongerwhentheheadmastertoldherthatthechildsufferedfromdevelopmentalretardation.Shestrode

52中，人们却在这两种生活方式间频繁穿梭，有时也说不清自己到底是“休闲着”还是“忙碌着”。譬如说，当我们正在旅游胜地享受假期，却忽然接到老板的电话，告诉我们客户或工作方面出了麻烦——现代便捷先进工具在此刻显示出了它狰狞、阴郁的面容——搞得人一下子兴趣全无。接下来的休闲只能徒有其表，因为心里已是火烧火燎了。参考答案：汉译英部分Beinghastyandatleisurearetwoquitedistinctlifestyles.Butintherealworld,peoplehavetofrequentlyshuttlebetweenthesetwolifestyles,sometimesnotsurewhethertheyare“atease”or“inarush”.Forexample,weareenjoyingourholidaysintheresortwhilesuddenlywereceivephonecallsfromthebosswhotellsustherearesometroubleswithourcustomersandwork--soatthismomentthemodern,convenientandadvanceddeviceshowsitsviciousandgloomyfeatures--andweloseallourinterest.Thesubsequentleisureisthemereshowyforweareinarestlessandanxiousstateofmind.英译汉原文WhenflyingoverNepal,it'seasytosoarinyourimaginationandpretendyou'retiny-abutterfly-anddriftingaboveoneofthosethree-dimensionaltopographicalmapsarchitectsuse,thecirclingcontourlinesreplacedbytheterracedricepaddiesthatsurroundeachhighridge.Nepalisasmallcountry,andfromthewindowsofourplanefloatingeastwardat12,000feet,

72朋友关系的存续是以相互尊重为前提的,容不得半点强求、干涉和控制。朋友之间,情趣相投、脾气对味则合、则交;反之,则离、则绝。朋友之间再熟悉,再亲密,也不能随便过头，不恭不敬。不然，默契和平衡将被打破,友好关系将不复存在。每个人都希望拥有自己的私密空间，朋友之间过于随便，就容易侵入这片禁区，从而引起冲突，造成隔阂。待友不敬，或许只是一件小事，却可能已埋下了破坏性的种子。维持朋友亲密关系的最好办法是往来有节，互不干涉。答案：Friendstendtobecomemoreintimatediftheyhavethesameinterestsandtemper,theycangetalongwellandkeepcontacting;otherwisetheywillseparateandendtherelationship.Friendswhoaremorefamiliarandclosercannotbetoocasualandshownorespect.Otherwisetheharmonyandbalancewillbebroken,andthefriendshipwillalsobenonexistentanymore.Everyonehopestohavehisownprivatespace,andiftoocasualamongfriends,itiseasytoinvadethispieceofrestrictedareas,whichwillleadtotheconflict,resultinginalienation.Itmaybeasmallmattertoberudetofriends;however,itislikelytoplantthedevastatingseeds.Thebestwaytokeepthecloserelationshipbetweenfriendsistokeepcontactswithrestraint,anddonotbothereachother.SECTIONBENGLISHTOCHINESEIthoughtthatitwasaSundaymorninginMay;thatitwasEasterSunday,andasyetveryearlyinthe

122彼此而忘掉这个世界，然而现在最深切的感受却是自己仍是这个世界的一份子。2008年汉译英：我想，其实谁都有一个小小花园，谁都是有苗圃之地的，这便是我们的内心世界。人的智力需要开发，人的内心世界也是需要开发的。人和动物的区别，除了众所周知的诸多方面，恐怕还在于人有内心世界。心不过是人的一个重要脏器，而内心世界是一种景观，它是由外部世界不断地作用于内心渐渐形成的。每个人都无比关注自己及至亲至爱之人心脏的健损，以至于稍有微疾便惶惶不可终日。但并非每个人都关注自己及至亲至爱之人的内心世界的阴晴。参考答案：Ithinkeveryone，ineffect，hasasmallgardenoraflowerbedofhisown，namely，ourinnerworld.Thereisaneedforhumanbeingstotapintotheirownintelligence，asisthecasewiththeirinnerworld.Whatdistinguishesbetweenhumanbeingsandanimals，apartfromthevariousaspectswhichareuniversallyknown，mayprobablybeinthathumanbeingshaveaninnerworld.Heartisnomorethananimportantorganwhereastheinnerworldconstitutesalandscape，whichgraduallytakesitsshapeunderthecontinuousinfluencefromtheoutsideworld.Sogreatistheimportancethateveryoneattachestothephysicalconditionofhisownheartorthoseofhisclosestanddearestones，thatmerelyaminordiseasewouldenduringlyweighonhismind.
