　　SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH

　　Translate the following underlined part of the text into English. Write your tra nslation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.

　　中國科技館的誕生來之不易。與國際著名科技館和其他博物館相比，它先天有些不足， 后天也常缺乏營養(yǎng)，但是它成長的步伐卻是堅實而有力的。它在國際上已被公認為后起之秀 。

　　世界上第一代博物館屬于自然博物館，它是通過化石、標本等向人們介紹地球和各種生 物的演化歷史。第二代屬于工業(yè)技術博物館，它所展示的是工業(yè)文明帶來的各種階段性結果 。這兩代博物館雖然起到了傳播科學知識的作用，但是，它們把參觀者當成了被動的旁觀者 。

　　世界上第三代博物館是充滿全新理念的博物館。在這里，觀眾可以自己去動手操作，自 己細心體察。這樣，他們可以更貼近先進的科學技術，去探索科學技術的奧妙。

　　中國科技館正是這樣的博物館!它汲取了國際上一些著名博物館的長處，設計制作了力 學、光學、電學、熱學、聲學、生物學等展品，展示了科學的原理和先進的科技成果。

　　SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE

　　Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SH EET THREE.

　　If people mean anything at all by the expression “untimely death”, they m us t believe that some deaths nm on a better schedule than others. Death in old age is rarely called untimely—a long life is thought to be a full one. But with th e passing of a young person, one assumes that the best years lay ahead and the m easure of that life was still to be taken.

　　History denies this, of course. Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of MariLarry Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and co mplete. Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only h alf playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year. The id ea that the life cut short is unfulfilled is illogical because lives are measure d by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue.
