Part Ⅳ English-Chinese Translation (10 points 20minutes)
請根據(jù)材料,回答試題:
We know that in early times messengers carried letters from place to place. (51 ) In Europe, however, it was not until the fifteenth century that a regular system of taking letters between towns was started.(52) The messengers travelled on horseback, and fresh horses were kept ready at different places along the main roads where the messengers stopped. Each of these stopping-places was known as a post and today we still keep the name "post office".
In the old days, such postal deliveries were only for important people. (53) The messengers would sometimes carry letters for ordinary citizens, but the charges for doing this were very high and the messengers were often careless. People began to ask for an easier and cheaper way of sending their letters and so, in the seventeenth century in Britain, a service was started for everyone. (54) At first this postal
service carried letters only between a few very busy towns, but year by year it grew larger and better.
Today every country has its post office, and these services play an important part in our life. (55) If there were no post offices, we would find it difficult to keep in touch with our friends at a distance.

PARTⅤ Writing(20points 30minutes)
第56題 Directions: For this part ,you are given 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic of My Favorite Pastime (娛樂). Your composition should be no less than 120 words.
答案:My Favorite Pastime
I usually spend my leisure time on various things such as watching TV, reading, swimming and playing table tennis. But if you ask me what's my favorite pastime, I would definitely say that it is playing computer games.
I like computer games and surfing on the Internet. Many people believe playing computer games is harmful to one' s health, especially to the eyes. But I don' t quite agree. I think playing computer games benefits me.
First, as a way of relaxation, it also gives me a sense of accomplishment. Secondly, I gain a lot of knowledge I cannot find in textbooks. For instance, when I played Civilization II, I began to realize the importance of science, because it was impossible to defeat the enemy in the game if you didn't develop science. Finally and most importantly, I have to use an English-Chinese dictionary from time to time because most of the games are in English. So the more games I play, the greater progress I make in English. The games are entertaining and instructive.
There is a huge amount of information there. It has become more and more popular and important. It is said that those who control the Internet will conquer the world in the future. That is perhaps an illusion but I want to be a master of the future.
