    北京的道旁多植槐樹,當槐花桂滿枝頭香飄回逸的時候,夏日就帶著炎熱與濃綠向人們涌來了。
    清晨,騎上自行車,加入上班的“洪流”,眼前閃動的是人們五顏六色的夏服,而八月盛夏,氣溫達到三十七、八度時,不少姑娘穿起露肩、低胸、無袖的上衣,有的小伙子把背心持上肚皮,在還沒有普及空調的普通人家,人們注意聽著電臺的當日天氣預報和查看日歷,不時喊著“今天太熱啦!”在驚呼、嘆息之中,盛夏似乎走得太慢了。
    亞雄走在人群中,心里仍時在思忖著公司下午開會的事情,絲毫沒有感受到頭上正頂著烈日,他時不時打開公文包,又拿出鋼筆,在紙上寫著什么,曼妮跟在他的后面,用傘摭著自己的臉,生怕亞雄回頭就瞥見她了。
    SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
    Translate te following underlined parts of the text into Chinese,Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
    Protected by sweaters and a leather Jacket against the biting blasts of the worth waid,I walk along the hillside this afternoon.Snow lies drifted among the wild cherries.Where the wind has swept bare the ground,the soil is frozen and rocklike.On this day of bleak cold,the earth seems dead.Yet every horthem field and hill side,like a child,has the seeds and powers of growth ocked within it.From cocon to bur,on a winter's day,there is every where life,dormant but waiting.
    Within the earth there are roots and seeds;on the bare twigs,there are winter buds;buried in soil and mud beneath icelocked water are the turtles and frogs and dragonfly nymphs;hidden in decaying logs and under snowcovered debris are the fertilized queens of the wasps and blumblebees.Everywhere,on all sides of us,as far as winter reigns,life is suspended temporarily.But it has not succumbed.It is merely dormant for the time being,merely waiting for the magic touch of spring.All the blooms of another summer,all the unfolding myriad leaves,all the lush green carpet of the grass,all the perfumes of the midsummer dusk,all the rush and glitter of the dragonfly's wings under the August sun—all these are inherent,looked up in the winter earth.
    Nor is this time of suspended activity wholly wasted.Scientists have discovered that,for many kinds of seeds,a period of cold is essential to their proper sprouting.They require the months of cold just as they do the days of spring.
    Seeds that lie on the frozen ground,that are coated with sleet and buried by snow,are thus the most favored of all.Bring those same seeds indoors,coddle them,keep them warm,protect them from wind and cold and snow,and they sprut leos readily in the spring.The seeming punishment of winter is proiding,in reality,invaluable aid.Similarly,the eggs of some insects,such as the Rocky.Mountain locust,need cold for proper hatching.
    Winter cold,the enemy of the easy life,thus is not the enemy of all life.It aids in the proper development of seed and egg.The death like inaefivity of the minter earth is only an illusion.Life is every where in every foot of frozen soil,in every rocklike yard of solid ground—life is the endless variety of its normal forms.
