| 第10题：E-C英译汉 Passage One It should have been easy. They were battle-tested veterans with long ties to Reagan and even longer ties to the Republican party， men who understood presidential politics as well as any in the country. The backdrop of the campaign was hospitable， with lots of good news to work with： America was at peace， and the nation‘s economy， a key factor in any election， was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore， the campaign itself was lavishly financed， with plenty of money for a top -flight staff， travel， and television commercials. And， most important， their candidate was Ronald Reagan， a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills. Reagan has succeed more than any president since John F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America – a nation of renewed military strength， individual initiative， and smaller federal government. |

| 第11题：（原 文） I agree to some extent with my imaginary English reader. American literary historians are perhaps prone to view their own national scene too narrowly, mistaking prominence for uniqueness. They do over-phrase their own literature, or certainly its minor figures. And Americans do swing from aggressive overphrase of their literature to an equally unfortunate, imitative deference. But then, the English themselves are somewhat insular in their literary appraisals. Moreover, in fields where they are not pre-eminent - e. g. in painting and music -they too alternate between boasting of native products and copying those of the Continent. How many English paintings try to look as though they were done in Paris; how many times have we read in articles that they really represent an "English tradition" after all. To speak of American literature, then, is not to assert that it is completely unlike that of Europe. Broadly speaking, America and Europe have kept step. At any given moment the traveler could find examples in both of the same architecture, the same styles in dress, the same books on the shelves. Ideas have crossed the Atlantic as freely as men and merchandise, though sometimes more slowly. When I refer to American habit, thoughts, etc., I intend some sort of qualification to precede the word, for frequently the difference between America and Europe (especially England) will be one of degree, sometimes only of a small degree. The amount of divergence is a subtle affair, liable to perplex the Englishman when he looks at America. He is looking at a country which in important senses grew out of his own, which in several ways still resembles his own - and which is yet a foreign country. There are odd overlappings and abrupt unfamiliarities; kinship yields to a sudden alienation, as when we hail a person across the street, only to discover from his blank response that we have mistaken a stranger for a friend. |

| 第18题：原 文：Although the American economy has transformed itself over the years， certain issues have persisted since the early days of the republic. One is the continuing debate over the proper role for government in what is basically a marketplace economy. An economy based on free enterprise is generally characterized by private ownership and initiative， with a relative absence of government involvement. However， government intervention has been found necessary from time to time to ensure that economic opportunities are fair and accessible to the people， to prevent flagrant abuses， to dampen inflation and to stimulate growth. Ever since colonial times， the government has been involved， to some extent， in economic decision-making. The federal government， for example， has made huge investments in infrastructure， and it has provided social welfare programs that the private sector was unable or unwilling to provide. In a myriad of ways and over many decades， the government has supported and promoted the development of agriculture. |
