四、翻譯(英譯漢)

　　51.Throughout the world, for more than a century, artists have embraced jazz. They have adopt-ed its spontaneity and its freedom of expression. Jazz is so much more than music: it is a lifestyle and a tool for dialogue, even social change. The history of jazz tells of the power of music to bring together artists from different cultures and backgrounds, as a driver of integration and mutual re-spect. Jazz gave rhythm to the straggles of the civil fights movement in the United States, and has done so elsewhere in the world. Through jazz, millions of people have sung and still sing today their desire for freedom, tolerance and human dignity.

　　答案：一個(gè)多世紀(jì)以來(lái)，世界各地都有藝術(shù)家在演奏爵士樂(lè)。藝術(shù)家們鐘情于爵士樂(lè)的即興創(chuàng)造和自由表達(dá)。爵士樂(lè)遠(yuǎn)不止是一種音樂(lè)：它是一種生活方式，是對(duì)話乃至社會(huì)變革的一種工具。爵士樂(lè)的歷史講述的是音樂(lè)如何讓不同文化和不同背景的藝術(shù)家走到一起，如何推動(dòng)實(shí)現(xiàn)文化融合和相互尊重。是爵士樂(lè)的節(jié)奏一直伴隨著美國(guó)和世界其他各地的民權(quán)斗爭(zhēng)，也正是通過(guò)爵士樂(lè)，成千上萬(wàn)的人們一直謳歌著他們對(duì)自由、寬容和人類尊嚴(yán)的渴望。

　　五、寫(xiě)作

　　52.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic "Reading Selectively or Extensively". You should write in no less than 100 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese below:

　　1.有人認(rèn)為讀書(shū)要有選擇;

　　2.有人認(rèn)為應(yīng)當(dāng)博覽群書(shū);

　　3.我的看法。

　　答案：Reading Selectively or Extensively

　　Some people think when we read we should read selectively. That is to say, we should select some books we are interested in and ignore the others. Reading selectively can help us concentrate our limited time and attention on those selected books.

　　Others think we should read extensively. No matter what kind of book it is, we should look it over. We should read various kinds of books, whether we are interested in or not. They maintain that reading extensively can help to enlarge our view and grasp the general knowledge in different fields.

　　In my opinion, the two reading ways have their roles respectively in our reading. However, the disadvantages of each method are easy to see. If we only read the books we select or prefer, the framework of our knowledge may not be complete. Our knowledge would be rather limited.

　　And if we read without selection, we may not have so much time and energy to be specialized in one particular field. Therefore, the combination of the two methods is more reasonable.
