Passage 2 下面你將聽到一位領導人在亞太經合組織工商領導人峰會上的一段講話。

從目前全球經濟發展看，一些重要的特點和趨勢值得我們高度重視。主要是：科技進步日新月異，前所未有地提高了人們認識和把握宏觀世界和微觀世界的能力，為人類推動生產力發展和創造美好生活提供了強大支持；國際生產要素優化重組和產業轉移加快，各國經濟發展更加緊密地聯系在一起，為各國實現經濟合作共贏提供了有利條件。//

同時，由于歷史和現實等方面的原因，世界發展不平衡的問題日益突出，許多發展中國家背負著沉重的債務負擔，外部經濟環境仍在惡化，南北發展差距進一步拉大；新的貿易壁壘和保護主義不斷出現，多邊貿易體制的發展面臨困難；能源、資源消耗大幅度增長，生態破壞和環境惡化問題嚴重；包括地區沖突、恐怖主義在內的各種不確定、不穩定因素，威脅著世界和平與發展的進程。//

因此，可以說，人類的發展既面臨難得機遇，也面臨嚴峻挑戰。在這種情形下，我們的正確選擇只能是推進合作共贏，我們的共同目標只能是實現可持續發展。中國從自己的發展實踐中深刻認識到：每個國家的發展都是一個持續的過程，今天的發展既是昨天發展的繼續，又是明天發展的基礎。

Passage 2（25分）

Some important features and trends in world economic development merit our close attention. They include: rapid progress in science and technology, which substantially increases man's ability to understand and grasp the world at both the macro and micro levels and gives him a powerful support to boost production and improve well-being; quickened tempo in the optimization and reorganization of the factors of production and the industrial transfers in the global context, which results in closer economic connections among countries and more favorable conditions for their mutually beneficial cooperation. // （11分）

At the same time, owing to historical and immediate causes,unevenness in worldwide development has become increasingly salient, with the heavily indebted developing countries facing a worsened external environment and the gap between the South and the North further widening. New trade barriers and protectionism are on the increase, and the world's multilateral trading regime is experiencing difficulties. The consumption of energy and other natural resources has increased substantially, resulting in ecological imbalances and environmental degradation. Factors of uncertainty and instability, such as local conflicts and terrorism, pose increasing threat to world peace and development. // （10分）

In a word, mankind is faced with both grave challenges and rare opportunities for development. Given the circumstances, the only right option for us to take is cooperation geared to a win-win result, and the only goal for us to endeavor towards is sustainable development. Our own experience with development tells us that every country must go through an evolving process that today's development is the continuation of that of yesterday and the groundwork of that of tomorrow. //（4分）
