In today's On the Road, Li Ningjing will take you for a stroll in the China Pavilion and introduce you to some of the main attractions there during the Shanghai Expo that will begin next month. The China Pavilion is located on the waterfront along the Huangpu River between the Nanpu and Lupu bridges in downtown Shanghai. It is shaped like a crown and was built in a traditional Chinese architectural style. Its main structure includes a six-layer, 30-meter-high roof made of traditional wooden brackets. The roof is dominated by the color red, symbolizing good luck and auspiciousness in Chinese culture. The China Pavilion is the size of two and a half soccer fields. Below the main structure, there is a 45,000-square-meter joint pavilion featuring displays from China's regions, provinces and cities. Ma Liang, an Assistant Supervisor of the Shanghai Expo Construction Office, says many minor interior decorations inside the pavilion feature traditional calligraphy. "The roof is painted red and consists of 56 girders, symbolizing all of China's 56 ethnic groups. Each end of every girder is decorated with words in an old form. of Chinese calligraphy. Those in our sight are facing the east and south, so we can see ‘east' or ‘south' on them." It can take a visitor at least 40 minutes to see the entire pavilion. You can start by watching an eight-minute movie that displays China's urban development over the past three decades. The movie will be shown in a 600-seat theater which is finely decorated and equipped with multimedia and cutting-edge technologies. Another highlight of the China Pavilion is a massive projection of the ancient painting "Along the River during Qingming Festival." One of the masterpieces of ancient Chinese painting, it represents the highest artistic achievement in ancient Chinese painting and is considered a national treasure. Together with the painting, a series of other valuable cultural relics will also be displayed, showcasing the splendor of Chinese culture. All the exhibits have arrived in Shanghai and will be ready for visitors to see when the Expo starts on May 1st. Qian Zhiguang is a top management official of the China Pavilion. "The exhibits are designed to showcase the most brilliant part of Chinese civilization. They are a combination of ancient Chinese culture and modern technology and the latest developments." To continue the trip through the China Pavilion, a cable car takes visitors for a 10-minute ride passing displays of modern street scenes that highlight the progress of city-country integration and urbanization in China. Other modern development concepts are also featured in the pavilion, including energy conservation, emissions reduction and low-carbon lifestyles. Management official Qian Zhiguang explains. "In this part of the exhibition, we try to remind people about the serious environmental problems in China caused by industrialization as well as various means to tackle the problems such as the utilization of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and biomass energy." Another part of the exhibition features scenes of the country's fantastic rivers and lakes and highlights water-related issues around the globe indicating the importance of creating harmony between man and nature. During the Shanghai Expo, there will be some 400 thousand to 500 thousand visitors daily at the China Pavilion, far beyond its designed capacity of 50,000 people. To ensure the safety of visitors, an online reservation service will help restrict and manage the number of guests at the pavilion. Hong Hao is President of the Shanghai Expo Management Bureau. "Reservation services are now underway for the China Pavilion, the themed pavilions, some performance shows and other hot attractions during the Expo. Reservation services from other foreign participants are always welcome." Another 80 reservation machines will be set up in 23 locations during the event to better manage the flow of visitors. Hong says the system will also prevent guests from having to wait in long lines to enter the China Pavilion. There are stairs leading to the top of the 50-meter-high China Pavilion where visitors can enjoy a perfect panoramic view of the entire Expo Park and Huangpu River. The 160,000-square-meter pavilion will be converted into a museum for Chinese history and culture after the Expo closes at the end of October. 热点话题：玉树地震 China to mourn quake victims TO mourn（哀悼，悼念） the victims of a strong earthquake in northwest China's Qinghai Province, national flags（国旗） will fly at half-mast（下半旗） in the country and its embassies（大使馆） and consulates（['k?nsjulit]领事馆） overseas tomorrow, according to the State Council today.

All 1,600 homes in the first phase(第一期) of the Century Park property project in Shanxi Province's Xinzhou City （山西省忻州市）were allocated（分配） to government workers（机关干部） instead of low-income residents（低收入居民）, Xinhua news agency（新华社） reported today. With city investment of 670 million yuan, the homes were sold to the government workers at 2,318 yuan per square meter（每平方米）, compared with the normal market price（市场价） of 3,200 yuan. Data from the city's real estate agents（房地产中介） indicated more than 800 were resold, with each worker gaining around 70,000 yuan profit. That means the homes could have brought 56 million yuan in total profits, Xinhua said. 注意：milk在本文的用法 milk sb/sth (of sth); milk sth (out of/from sb/sth) (fig 比喻) extract (money, information, etc) dishonestly from (a person or an institution) 从（某人或某机构处）骗取（钱财﹑ 情报等）: His illegal deals were steadily milking the profits from the business. 他在搞非法交易不断榨取公司的利润. 热点话题：哥本哈根会议 哥本哈根会议是应对气候变化国际合作的重要契机。在各方共同努力下，会议取得了重要而积极的成果，一是坚定维护了《联合国气候变化框架公约》及其《京都议定书》确立的框架和原则，特别是“共同但有区别的责任”原则；二是在发达国家实行强制减排和发展中国家采取自主减缓行动方面迈出了新的步伐；三是就全球长期目标、资金和技术支持、透明度等焦点问题达成广泛共识。 The Copenhagen Conference is an important opportunity for international cooperation on tackling climate change.

The zenith of that project was 40 years ago today on July 20th 1969, when Neil Armstrong stepped out of Apollo 11’s lunar module onto the Sea of Tranquillity, and promptly fluffed his lines. The cancellation of Apollo three years later started the slide, and the space shuttles that were supposed to fill the gap failed to become the workaday vehicles that had been promised. The agency’s probes have visited all of the solar system’s planets and it has done a lot of important science. But its manned space programme has never got back the pizzazz of 1969. Five years ago George Bush outlined a plan to return Americans to the moon in 2020, with an option on going to Mars later. Now that plan is the subject of a rather un-American bout of introspection and self-examination. At the behest of Barack Obama’s newly empowered Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), NASA, America’s space agency, is submitting to an independent review of its human-spaceflight plans in order to determine their future. This year has been a particularly difficult one for NASA. It started with the incoming administration asking some hard questions, such as how much money could be saved by cancelling various bits of the spacecraft that the agency plans to use to replace its fleet of ageing shuttles—which, among other things, provide America’s only direct link with the International Space Station. The shuttles are due to retire next year, and there is already consternation about the gap between that retirement and the arrival of their successor. The starting point for the review is a simple one: money. Mr Obama’s administration, like every other new government, wishes to impose its own spending plans, and human spaceflight has never been high on its list of priorities. The existing plan for human spaceflight sets NASA on a path that will lead it to consume what one insider estimates to be around $100 billion before the programme is complete. It seems entirely prudent, therefore, for the administration to examine whether this is money well spent. NASA faces substantial challenges. For example, as currently designed, its plans for a system of rockets to replace the shuttle (known collectively as Ares, the Greek name for Mars) do not fit within the funds that are available, and have been criticised for showing too little innovation and even less progress. NASA’s role, some argue, should be the whizzier business of novel plasma-drives and nanotech-based heat shielding—not “Apollo on steroids” as some people have derisively described Ares. Nor is there any sense of how the proposed moon base that would eventually be built, supposedly as a stepping stone to Mars, can be supported financially. The difficulty, as ever, is to make the agency properly serve the public that pays for it. Few are suggesting that NASA be eliminated, but such questions reflect the struggle for purpose that it has had since the end of Apollo. Its mission is not human exploration for its own sake, nor off-planet colonisation, yet human spaceflight consumes a large chunk of the budget. At the moment a shift in priorities that would lead to a direct Mars mission seems unlikely. Even if astronauts return to the moon, though, the means of getting them there must still be decided. One alternative to Ares, proposed by the United Launch Alliance, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Boeing, is to use modified versions of their existing Delta 4 and Atlas 5 rockets both to go to the moon and to resupply the space station, but at lower cost. And if Ares is cancelled another winner may be SpaceX, a small Californian firm that is building a series of rockets called Falcon. These will be able to fly cargo to the International Space Station—and, if all goes well in the future, people. SpaceX differs from Lockheed and Boeing in that Falcon is a speculative venture rather than having been commissioned (as Delta and Atlas were) by the government. Many see this sort of true private enterprise, rather than the taxpayer-assisted sort, as the way forward in space. And if that is the case, the eternally difficult question of what NASA is for will soon have to be asked again. 热点话题：中美关系 纵观历年的口译考试：2002年3月份的高级口译考试汉译英部分考查了中美关系，2006年9月份的高口汉英翻译围绕中国外交展开。2007年9月份的中口汉译英围绕中国的和平发展道路展开。今年是中美建交三十一周年，美国总统奥巴马于2009/11/15-18开始对中国进行国事访问，这也是首位在第一年任期之内对中国进行国事访问的美国总统。因此，中美关系无疑会成为2010年的口译考试的热点话题。 总体来看，涉及到中美关系的考查段落难度不是很大，原因是有些固定的说法和套话，比如坚持三个联合公报、立足当前、放眼长远等等，所以只要做好梳理和记忆就行，主要以积累为主，结合本年度新举措再做新的内容梳理和扩展 中美关系中涉及到的常见表述： 对华政策：China policy 起伏不定：be subject to fluctuation 经贸摩擦：economic and trade friction 中美三个联合公报：The three Sino-US Joint Communiques 建设性战略伙伴关系：constructive strategic partnership 面向21世纪的中美建设性伙伴关系 a constructive, strategic partnership between China and the United Stated aimed at the next century 历经风雨、不断向前发展 move ahead steadily amid twists and turns 看清中美关系的主流和时代潮流，把握大局，着眼未来，扩大共识，发展合作 (We should) stand high to get a commanding view, recognize the mainstream of the relationship and the trend of the times, keep the overall picture and the future in mind and work to broaden consensus and promote cooperation. 立足当前、放眼长远，从战略的高度审视和处理中美关系 (Let us) get grounded on the current situation and take a long view with a strategic vision when looking at and handling Sino-U.S. relation. 牢牢把握两国共同利益，加强对话、交流与合作 focus ourselves on our common interests with strengthened dialogue, exchanges and cooperation 努力消除误解 remove misunderstanding 妥善处理分歧 properly address differences 五、共同应对各种地区和全球性挑战。WORK TOGETHER TO MEET GLOBAL, REGIONAL CHALLENGES 近年来，中美两国就地区热点问题和气候变化、核安全与核不扩散、打击跨国犯罪、减灾防灾、跨国传染病防治等全球性问题开展了密切协调和合作，使中美关系的战略水平和全球影响显著提升。 The two countries should continue to work together on global and regional hot issues in light of the benefit gained in recent years by cooperating on climate change, nuclear non-proliferation, crackdown on transnational crimes, disaster relief and prevention and treatment of contagious diseases 板块二：中美关系发展历程证明一个道理 “和则两利，斗则俱伤”；“互信则进，猜忌则退”。 The history of Sino-US relations has made it clear that cooperation benefits both sides while c
