Americanwomen so far ahead of their
Swedish counterparts in breaking through the

[B]in
a
2012
report,the
World
EconomicForum
found
that

it
comes
to
closing
the

of
not

but
also
Finland,Denmark,the
Netherlands,Iceland,Germany,and
the

in
the
report
can
largely
be
explained
by
its

the
United

has
fewer
women
in
the

77 percent).American women who choose to

are

choicesmarked A). B).

thecorresponding letter on

Passage
One
Questions 56to 60 are based on the
following passage.
Texting
haslong
been
bemoaned
(
哀
叹
)as
the
downfall
of
the
written
word,””penmanship for illiter,”as one
criticcalled it. To which the proper
response is LOL.
Textingproperly isn′t
writing at all. It′s a “spoken” language that is
getting richer and more complexby the
year.
First,somehistorical perspective.
Writing was only invented 5,500 years ago.
whereasIanguage probably traces back at
least 80.000 years. Thus talking came
first;writing is just a craft that came
along later. As such, the first writing
wasbased on the way people
talk
,
with short sentences.
However,while
talking
is
largely
subconscious
and
rapid,
writing
is
deliberate
andslow,
Over
time,writers
took
advantage
of
this
and
started
cratting
long-
windedsentences such as this one:The whole
engagement lasted above 12 hours,
till
thegradual
retreat
of
the
Per
trsians
was
changed
into
a
disorderlyflight,
of

why it is
unwise to judge a personby their appearance.
There is a
Chinese saying goeslike this: men cannot be judged
by their looks.
I cannot agree with
this pointof view any more.
On the one hand, though a
charmingappearance will leave a good impression on
others,
one’s
look
can
seldom
reflects
his
or
her
qualities,
capacities
andethics.
We cannot say those who are good-
looking are more capable and morecultivated than
those who are average-looking or ugly-
looking. There are somany people who do not
have
good
appearances

made
great
achievements

hand,
our
appearances
are decided by
our genes, which are inborn,while our qualities
can be cultivated
as we grow. We can
enrich our minds bylearning, but which cannot be
reflected on
the appearances.
To summarize,
judging people byappearance is unwise. Therefore I
suggest that
we should focus on one’s
inner world rather than their
appearance.

:
Why is it
unwise to jump intoconclusions upon seeing or
hearing?
Living
in an age when theadolescents are lack of the
necessary guidance and
supervision, we
can neverfail to figure out the fact that
teenagers are become
especiallyself-
conscious. Under this circumstance,
the
youngsters are more
likely
tobelieve
in
what
they
have
listened
or
seen
instead
of
thinking
twice
beforedrawing
their
conclusions, which is pathetically and undoubtedly
consideredcontroversial
or even
unreasonable.
The reasons why I insist on
theviewpoint that we should never directly and
irresponsibly come to conclusionsonly
by listening or seeing mainly lie in the
following two aspects. To beginwith, it
is a invariable law to every existence in
the world that nothing willstay still
even for just one are the things
happening
around
us.
Whatwe
see
or
listen
may
be
just
some
particular
period
of
the
development
ofthings,
which
proves
unstable
and
changeable.
In
addition,
the
perspectives weconclude just through
seeing or listening are usually one-sided.
Drawingconclusions
rashly
is
not
objective
enough
to
make
our
statements
persuasive.
To sum up, it is unwise for us todefine
any thing as what we assume or imagine
at first sight. Only by ourserious
thinking and accurate analyzing can we come up
with more rational andreasonable
conclusions.

本篇文章围绕债券展开。

但即使有好处,

第一个问题为是否必须在到期日前都

那答案其实是否定的,并且作者通过正反两个例子指出了债券价值通常与当下市

因为投资债券其实也存在风险,
那
这也就带来了第二个问题:
如

作者在文末指出其实债券的市场风险越大,
利率也越大。
投

翻译三:
中文热词通常反映社会变化和文化,
有些在外国媒体上愈来愈流行。
例如,
土豪
(tuhao)
和大妈
(dama)
都是老词,但是已获取了新的意义。
土豪以前指欺压佃户和仆人的乡村地主,
现在用于指花钱如流水或者喜欢炫耀财富的人,
也就是说,
土豪有钱,但没有品位。
大妈是对中年妇女的称呼,但现在特指不久前金价下跌
时大量购买黄精的中国妇女。
土豪和大妈可能会被人收入新版牛津
(Oxford)
英语词典,至今已有约
120
个中文词被加
进了牛津英语词典,成为了英语语言的一部分。

are
both old words, but they getdifferent
meanings now.
The
word
tuhao

to
mean
rurallandlords
who

while
now
it
refers
to
peoplespending

or
those

around. That is to say,tuhao owns money
rather than taste. The word dama is used
to describemiddle-aged women. However,
it is regarded as a special word to call
thoseChinese
women
who

purchase
gold
when

Tuhao and dama may be
