二、真題原文

Part I
下面你將聽到一段關于居民身份證的對話。

A:在中國，出門旅行是一件很平常的事。如果一個中國人在國內旅行，除了要帶上錢或信用卡，還需要帶上身份證。
B:Yes, indeed. ID card is one of the most authoritative certificates issued by the government to show a person's status. It is very useful for a person who travels around the country. And I know that a driving license cannot be used to identify a person's status in China.
A: 你說的對。和中國眾多的人口相比，有駕照的還是少數。中國從1985年開始頒發身份證，到現在有八億多居民擁有身份證。
B:ID cards are issued to the Chinese citizens aged 16 or above. Citizens who are below that age, if they want, can also apply.
A:生活中常會用到身份證。比如，坐飛機、住旅店、從郵局取包裹、登記交稅、申請駕照，或是到了任何需要出示身份證的地方，都得用身份證。
B:After about 20 years since the issue of the first ID cards, the Ministry of Public Security decided to issue the second generation of ID cards starting from January this year.
A:新一代身份證技術含量高。和老卡不同，新卡可以機讀。這是中國科學家多年研究的結果。

下面你將聽到一段有關科學、信息與社會發展的講話。

It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to this meeting on such an important issue as science, information and society.Today, science and information are opening up new horizons for human development. They do so through the exchange of scientific knowledge, the expansion of education and training, and the promotion of creativity and intercultural dialogue.Our organization is required therefore to help enlarge the spread of science and information through better education.Yet science education does not take place only in universities and institutions of higher education. An early start must be made if we are to increase the numbers of students who are interested in pursuing a scientific career.The uneven distribution of science and information between the industrialized and developing countries also raises concerns. According to a UN Report, industrialized countries, with only 15% of the world's population, are home to 88% of all Internet users. Less than 1% of people in South Asia are online, even though it is home to one-fifth of the world's population. The situation is even worse in Africa. There are only one million Internet users on the entire continent whereas in the UK alone there are 10.5million. In other words, capacity-building is vital for the developing world if they are to become knowledge societies.These are some of the key issues that I hope you will discuss during the upcoming meeting. In particular, I am keen to hear your views on how this meeting can make a difference and, indeed, how science and information can make a difference in building knowledge societies.Thank you.

Part III

下面你將聽到一段有關亞洲經濟的講話。

談到亞洲的經濟，一位世界銀行的官員表示，他經常周游列國，幾乎每周都會飛到亞洲，每次來到這里他都感覺良好。他認為，亞洲克服了前所未有的經濟困難，雖然經濟轉型估計還會持續一段時間，但亞洲已經打下了良好的基礎，足以建立起長期的繁榮穩定。因此，他對亞洲經濟，特別是中國經濟的中、長期發展感到樂觀。他指出，到2020年，中國的生產總值會再翻兩番，達到四萬億美元。他相信，只要亞洲各國努力把握面前的機遇，從長遠看，亞洲經濟的前景會是光明的。
