问答题

1.Passage 1
【正确答案】我很高兴向各位介绍多伦多市在与其周边城市经济一体化的过程中是如何竭尽全力地将自己打造成为一座绿色城市的。多伦多是个已经发展成型的大都市,这就限制了其发展绿地的潜力。
大多伦多地区有着最多样化的经济实体,其最大的经济体包括航空业、生物医药业、食品加工业、商业服务业等。
由于该区域的城市化,其(经济实体的)发展已跨越了城市边界。因此,(政府)采取了一些措施,使高附加值的商务运作实体坐落在多伦多市区内。
传统的重工业则向(多伦多)周边地区转移,这是因为(多伦多)周边地区的地税较低,而且有大量的土地可发展为绿地。

I'm very happy to talk to you about how the City of Toronto endeavors to turn itself into a green city in the process of economic integration with its surrounding cities. Toronto is a mature municipality and has limited greenfield development potential.
The Greater Toronto Area has one of the most diversified economies. The largest economic sectors include aerospace, biomedical industry, food processing industry and business services.
Due to the urbanization, they have spanned across municipal boundaries. Therefore, measures are taken to allow high value added business operations to locate within the City.
Traditional heavy manufacturing operations are relocated in the surrounding areas, where the realty taxes are lower and there is a plenty of available land for greenfield development.
【正确答案】尽管大家都认为我们如今生活在同一个地球村,但是,普通美国人对中国的了解部分是来自于参加建设我们国家的美籍华人。
中国和美国在地理上相隔甚远。然而,在美国(取得)的成就中很难找到没有美籍华人涉足的领域。
中华儿女在美国所做出的诸多贡献,无论大小,都充份体现了他们自身的才华、勤奋,以及他们父母的奉献。对此,我们深深地感谢中国。
正如我们已经从来美华人取得的成就中受益那样,美国可以从一个自信的、发展中的中国获得利益。这种态度将为加深两国友谊打下坚实的基础。
【答案解析】[解析]
Although it is the common understanding that we are now living in a global village, the average Americans know China in part through the Chinese-Americans who helped build our country.
China and the United States are geographically apart. However, it would he hard to find an area of American achievement unmarked by the footprints of Chinese-Americans.
The contributions, large and small, of China's sons and daughters in my country reflect their innate talents and hard work, as well as the devotion of their parents. We owe a great deal to China.
Just as we have gained from the achievements of the Chinese who have come to America, the United States will gain benefit from a self-confident, developing China. This attitude provides a firm foundation for the deepening of friendship between our two countries.
