The United States and China have a historic opportunity: There is much we can share. I think progress in these areas is particularly promising, that is, trade, technology, investment, and exchanges of scientific and managerial expertise. In a few short years, two-way trade has risen sharply. //
The United States is now China’s third largest trading partner. Our bilateral trade and economic cooperation show great promise for peace and progress in our histories, and I believe, together, we can and will make tomorrow a better day.
2、Part B(中译英)
Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear 2 passages in Chinese. After you have heard each passage, interpret it into English. Start interpreting at the signal… and stop it at the signal… You may take notes while you’re listening. Remember you will hear the passages only once. Now, let’s begin Part B with the first passage.
Passage 1:
有着五千年文明史的中国不仅向世界输出了指南针、火药、造纸术和活字印刷等四大发明，而且还传播了传统保健知识和方法，例如太极拳、气功和按摩。//
这些保健方法不仅对人体健康有效，而且还对心脑健康和减肥，都有十分显著的疗效。中医认为，保持身心平衡、阴阳调和是健康的要素。太极拳和气功就是以这个理论为基础的。
Passage 2:
当今世界，所有国家和地区的经济都是相互关联的，没有哪一个国家和地区能够在自我封闭的状态下得到发展。中国也是如如此。所以，在自力更生的基础上，我们把进一步对外开放作为我们的一项基本国策。//
有中国特色的社会主义市场经济是一个以开放经济为核心的开放体制。我们要继续改善投资环境，使海外投资者能够获取利润。我们将吸收和利用对我有用的发达国家的科学技术和管理经验。
