  Part B

  Directions:

  Read the following text and match each of the numbered items in the left column to its corresponding information in the right column. There are two extra choices in the right column. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)

  The decline in American manufacturing is a common refrain, particularly from Donald Trump. "We don't make anything anymore," he told Fox News, while defending his own made-in-Mexico clothing line.

  Without question, manufacturing has taken a significant hit during recent decades, and further trade deals raise questions about whether new shocks could hit manufacturing.

  But there is also a different way to look at the data.

  Across the country, factory owners are now grappling with a new challenge: instead of having too many workers, they may end up with too few. Despite trade competition and outsourcing, American manufacturing still needs to replace tens of thousands of retiring boomers every years. Millennials may not be that interested in taking their place, other industries are recruiting them with similar or better pay.

  For factory owners, it all adds up to stiff competition for workers—and upward pressure on wages. "They're harder to find and they have job offers," says Jay Dunwell, president of Wolverine Coil Spring, a family-owned firm, "They may be coming [into the workforce], but they've been plucked by other industries that are also doing an well as manufacturing," Mr. Dunwell has begun bringing high school juniors to the factory so they can get exposed to its culture.

  At RoMan Manufacturing, a maker of electrical transformers and welding equipment that his father cofounded in 1980, Robert Roth keep a close eye on the age of his nearly 200 workers, five are retiring this year. Mr. Roth has three community-college students enrolled in a work-placement program, with a starting wage of $13 an hour that rises to $17 after two years.

  At a worktable inside the transformer plant, young Jason Stenquist looks flustered by the copper coils he's trying to assemble and the arrival of two visitors. It's his first week on the job. Asked about his choice of career, he says at high school he considered medical school before switching to electrical engineering. "I love working with tools. I love creating." he says.

  But to win over these young workers, manufacturers have to clear another major hurdle: parents, who lived through the worst US economic downturn since the Great Depression, telling them to avoid the factory. Millennials "remember their father and mother both were laid off. They blame it on the manufacturing recession," says Birgit Klohs, chief executive of The Right Place, a business development agency for western Michigan.

  These concerns aren't misplaced: Employment in manufacturing has fallen from 17 million in 1970 to 12 million in 2013. When the recovery began, worker shortages first appeared in the high-skilled trades. Now shortages are appearing at the mid-skill levels.

  "The gap is between the jobs that take to skills and those that require a lot of skill," says Rob Spohr, a business professor at Montcalm Community College. "There're enough people to fill the jobs at McDonalds and other places where you don't need to have much skill. It's that gap in between, and that's where the problem is. "

  Julie Parks of Grand Rapids Community points to another key to luring Millennials into manufacturing: a work/life balance. While their parents were content to work long hours, young people value flexibility. "Overtime is not attractive to this generation. They really want to live their lives," she says.

  Section III Translation

  46.Directions:

  Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (15 points)

  My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course. However, during that course I realized I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favourite activities. But, to be honest, I said it , because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream—I knew that no one could imagine me in the fashion industry at all! So I decided to look for some fashion-related courses that included writing. This is when I noticed the course "Fashion Media & Promotion."

  My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing.

  我的梦想一直是在时尚界或者出版界找份工作。

  分析:简单句型,直接翻译即可。

  Two years before graduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashion design course.

  中学毕业之前的两年,我学习了一门缝纫和设计的课程,想着我可以继续学习时尚设计的课程。

  分析:thinking that 伴随状语。Move on 继续。整体句子比较简单。

  However, during that course I realized that I was not good enough in this area to compete with other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me.

  然而这门课程让我意识到,将来在这个领域我并没有足够优秀去和其他创新人才竞争。因此我认为这条路并不适合我。

  分析:during that course 是时间状语,I 是主语,realized是谓语动词,that引导宾语从句,其中personalities不能理解为个性,品格,在文中应该指精英,人才,so引导的结果状语从句中也是主语,谓语加宾语从句的结构。

  Before applying for university I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favorite activities.

  申请大学之前,我告诉所有人我会学新闻,因为写作曾经是我的最爱之一,现在也是。

  分析:Before 引导时间状语,that引导宾语从句,because引导原因状语从句,本句要注意writing was, and still is, one of my favorite activities这一部分中was 和is的翻译方法,表示过去和将来的状态,过去是,现在也是医学全.在.线.提供. www.med126.com

  But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream - I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!

  但是说实话,我这么说是因为我觉得从事设计对我来说只是一个梦想。我知道除了我自己,压根没人能想象到我会干这一行。

  分析:主句是主谓宾结构I said it,because引导原因状语从句,从句中是I thought that主谓加宾从结构。注意小句的关系。全句意为:但是说实话,我这么说是因为我觉得从事设计对我来说只是一个梦想。我知道除了我自己,压根没人能想象到我会干这一行。

  So I decided to look for some fashion-related courses that included writing. This is when I noticed the course "Fashion Media & Promotion."

  因此我决定找一些与时尚有关又包含写作的课程,就在这时,我注意到了“时尚媒体与推广”的课程。
