Passage1 和平稳定是发展的前提和基础。上个世纪，人类经历了两次世界大战，生灵涂炭，经济社会发展遭受严重挫折。第二次世界大战结束以来，世界经济能够快速增长，主要得益于相对和平稳定的国际环境。 我们应该恪守联合国宪章宗旨和原则，充分发挥联合国及其安理会在维护和平、缔造和平、建设和平方面的核心作用。坚持通过对话和协商，以和平方式解决国际争端。 我们应该坚持国家不论大小、强弱、贫富都是国际社会平等一员，以民主、包容、合作、共赢的精神实现共同安全，做到一国内部的事情一国自主办、大家共同的事情大家商量办，坚定不移奉行多边主义和国际合作，推进国际关系民主化。 我们应该营造支持各国根据本国国情实现和平、稳定、繁荣的国际环境。应该本着求同存异的原则，尊重各国主权和选择发展道路和发展模式的权利，尊重文明多样性，在交流互鉴、取长补短中相得益彰、共同进步。 Passage2 1882年中国第一盏电灯在上海点亮，这使得中国逐渐告别了油灯和蜡烛照明的历史，当时使用的电灯就是白炽灯，这一用就是130年，中国也成为白炽灯的生产和消费大国。 早在1996年，中国就启动实施了“绿色照明工程”
2，中国绿色照明工程的实施，推动了照明电器行业结构的优化升级和产品质量的整体提升，经过多年努力，中国节能灯产品质量水平日益提高，一些企业产品质量和工艺水平已达到世界领先水平。高效照明产品及技术的日益成熟为逐步淘汰白炽灯提供了重要保障。 中国节能灯的全球市场占有率由1996年的20%提高到2010年的85%。 笔译实务试题来源 Section1English-ChineseTranslation（英译汉）(50points) Passage1 TheNewYorkTimes:TranslationasLiteraryAmbassador http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/08/books/08translate.html Passage2 TheNewYorkTimes:ArgentinaHopesforaBigPayoffinItsShaleOilFieldDiscovery http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/05/business/global/05shale.html Section2Chinese-EnglishTranslation（汉译英）(50points) Passage1 《胡锦涛在金砖国家领导人第三次会晤时的讲话》（2011年4月15日） Passage2 《北京周报》：2011年第47期11月24日出版
