二、口译题
1、Part A （英译中）
Passage 1:
The 20th century has seen the rise and decline of a succession of industries in the United States. The automobile industry has had to struggle to meet the challenge of foreign competition. Many new industries have appeared. Many of the currently rising industries are among what are known as high-tech industries, because of their dependence on the latest developments in technology.∥
High-tech industries tend to be highly automated and thus need fewer workers than traditional industries such as steel-making. As high-tech industries have grown and older industries have declined in recent years, the proportion of American workers employed in manufacturing has declined. Service industries—industries that sell a service rather than make a product—now dominate the economy.
Passage 2:
Like other degenerative diseases, heart disease is ordinarily present for a very long time in the body before obvious and drastic symptoms appear. In fact, for most young people in our country, heart often begins in their early twenties. It grows worse over the years until finally the inevitable heart attack strikes.∥
For most people the first heart attack does not come until a certain age, say their fifties or sixties. But for thousands of people every year, the first heart attack comes in the twenties and occasionally even a person in his teens may experience a serious heart attack. In this way we can say that heart disease is more dangerous to the younger generation, since they are not at all prepared for it.
