MILESTONES
APPOINTED. MICHAEL NAZIR-ALI, 44, an assistant bishop in central London; as Bishop of Rochester, the first non-white diocesan bishop of the Church of England; in Kent. The general secretary of the church Missionary Society, Nazir-Ali, who was ordained in Karachi in 1976 and holds dual Pakistani and British citizenship, has written several books on Islamic-Christian relations. Of his appointment he said, "I think it reflects the way in which this country has changed."
RANSOMED. ALFREDO HARP HELU, 50. billionaire president and co-owner of one of Latin America's largest financial firms, Banamex-Accival; for about $30 million, paid by his family, after he was held 106 days by his kidnappers; in Mexico city. The release followed a dramatic TV appearance in which Harp's son.
accompanied by a family lawyer and a priest, accepted the kidnappers' terms unconditionally. At the family's request, the police did not intervene, giving rise to fears that the huge ransom will encourage more kidnappings and adding to concerns about Mexico's stability.
ARRESTED. BERNARD TAPIE. 51. flamboyant entrepreneur and one of France's fastest rising political stars; only 12 hours after being stripped of his parliamentary immunity: on fraud and tax-evasion charges involving the use of his yacht, Phocea, in Paris. The Marseilles Deputy and former Urban Affairs Minister was already under investigation in four other cases, which involved defamation, embezzlement, fraud and a bribery scandal connected to his Olympique de Marseilles soccer team. If convicted on the latest charges. Tapie risks heavy fines and up to five years in prison — yet his political support remains strong.
DIED. MA'MOUN EL-SHINNAWY, 80. master of the modern Arabic lyrical poetry who also wrote the words to more than 1 000 popular Egyptian songs; in Cairo. Originally a journalist noted for has lancing wit. El-Shinawy co-founded a political-humor magazine in 1950 called World and a Half. which was closed down during the 1952 revolution that brought Gamal Abdel Nasser to power. In the '60s El-Shinnawy penned the romantic verse that would bring him renown throughout the Arab world.
DIED. JOAN HASLIP, 82. popular biographer of such historical figures as France's Marie Antoinette and Emperor Maximilian of Mexico; in Bellosguardo, Italy. The British-born Haslip, who spent much of her life in Italy- made a precocious entrance into the world of letters, publishing two novels by the time she was 20. But after being called a "pretty, witty spendthrift writer" by V.S. Pritchett she turned to biography because she was "determined to be taken seriously". Critical and commercial success greeted her 1971 book on Maximilian. Imperial Adventurer, which became a best seller. Marie Antoinette • her 1987 portrait of the guillotined queen, was translated into 10 languages.

PAPER TWO
PART IV TRANSLATION (60 MIN)
SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH
Translate the following underlined part of the TEXT into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.

近期报纸,对国外名片和请柬的议论颇多,于是想起客居巴黎时经常见到的法国人手中的名片和请柬,随笔记下来,似乎不无借鉴之处。
在巴黎,名目繁多的酒会,冷餐会是广交朋友的好机会。在这种场合陌生人相识,如果是亚洲人,他们往往开口之前先毕恭毕敬地用双手把自己的名片呈递给对方,这好像是不可缺少的礼节。然而,法国人一般却都不大主动递送名片,双方见面寒暄几句,甚至海阔天空地聊一番也就各自走开,只有当双方谈话投机,希望继续交往时,才会主动掏出名片。二话不说先递名片反倒有些勉强。
法国人的名片讲究朴素大方,印制精美,但很少有镶金边的、闪光多色的或带香味的。名片上的字体纤细秀丽,本人的名字也不过分突出,整张纸片上空白很大,毫无拥挤不堪的感觉。
SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Translate the following underlined part of the TEXT into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
Four months before election day, five men gathered in a small conference room at the Reagan-Bush headquarters and reviewed an oversize calendar that mark the remaining days of the 1984 presidential campaign. It was the last Saturday in June and at ten o'clock in the morning the rest of the office was practically deserted. Even so, the men kept the door shut and the drapes carefully drawn. The three principals and their two deputies had come from around the country for a critical meeting. Their aim was to devise a strategy that would guarantee Ronald Reagan's resounding reelection to a second term in the White House.

It should have been easy. These were battle-tested veterans with long ties to Reagan and even longer ones to the Republican party, men who understood presidential politics as well as any in the country. The backdrop of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with: America was at peace, and the nation's economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed, with plenty of money for a top-flight staff, travel, and television commercials. And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills. Reagan has succeeded more than any president since John F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America — a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government.
PART V WRITING (60 MIN)
On a Chinese college campus, usually several college students share a dormitory. Unfortunately some college students do not pay enough attention to living in a shared environment. For instance, they may ignore the sanitation of their dormitory or they may suddenly start to play music while others are sound asleep. Hence the idea of making dormitory policies to curb these indecencies has become popular on campus.
You are in favor of this idea and have therefore decided to write to your university campus radio a passage entitled:
IN SUPPORT OF DORMITORY POLICIES
You are to write a passage of approximately 300 words on this issue.
In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion with a summary.
Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

Section A
In Paris,a variety of drinking and buffet parties offer a good opportunity for making friends.On such occasion,strangers meet to know each other.If they are Asians,they,usually respectfully with two hands,present their calling cards to the other person before they speak,which seems to be an indispensable formality.However,Frenchmen usually do not present their cards initially.When they meet,they greet each other or even chat zealously about one topic and then excuse themselves.Only when they take interest in each other and hope to keep in further contact,will they exchange calling cards.It seems unnatural for them to present their calling cards before they speak to each other.
Section B
竞选本应是容易的。这些人都是跟随里根多年,而跟随共和党更久的久经沙场的老手。他们熟知总统的竞选政治策略,不亚于任何人。竞选的形势非常有利,有许多好消息可以利用:美国国道太平,国内经济——竞选的关键因素——-在经历了衰退后已开始强力回升。而且,竞选经费非常充足,有足够的钱组成一流的竞选班子,支付巡回演说和电视宣传的费用。最重要的是,他们的候选人是罗纳德·里根。他是位极具个人魅力且交际本领极强的总统。自肯尼迪以后,没有任何一位总统能像里根这样提出更为广阔的国家前景:美国将成为一个军事力量得以恢复、个人创造力得以发挥、联邦政府更为精简的国家。
PART V

In Support of Dormitory Policies
In recent years, there arises a bad tendency on Chinese college campus. Some students ignore the sanitation and quiet environment of their dormitory. Many students are disturbed and annoyed by this. Due to such bad results, there is an upsurge of idea of making dormitory policies to curb these indecencies. This idea will be welcomed because it is for the sake of our health and the satisfactory study environment.
To make such policies is very important to maintaining our health. Frankly speaking, the dormitory on campus is a little bit small for seven or eight students. After one night's sleep, the air in the dormitory is very bad, especially in winter. Anyone who likes cleanness will not want to go back to his dormitory. If such a condition lasts, especially in summer, many kinds of disease will appear. Can we imagine a student always with illness will continue his studies or study well? Of course not. At this point, all of us should pay enough attention to the sanitation in order to complete our college studies and get good marks.
To make such policies is indispensable to create a peaceful study environment. Dormitories are for rest and sometimes for studies. When we come to our college, our primary purpose is to gain more knowledge to equip ourselves. However, some freshmen are disappointed at the environment of the dormitories, ignoring others, some students will play music or listen to music at any time, even at night. This seriously disturbs others. The result is that they cannot concentrate on their studies or feel sleepy. Music should not be prevented for young people, it should be listened to at proper time, considering the interest of other people.
For the sake of student's health and creating a satisfying environment for studies, some policies should be made to ensure their college studies. I believe such policies must be in everyone's favor.
