1.听写包 答案：

In my presentation, I'm going to talk about coffee, and its importance both in economic and social terms.

We think it was first drunk in the Arab world, but there's hardly any documentary evidence of it before the 1500s, although of course that doesn't mean that people didn't know about it before then.

However, there is evidence that coffee was originally gathered from bushes growing wild in Ethiopia, in the northeast of Africa.

In the early sixteenth century, it was being bought by traders,

and gradually its use as a drink spread throughout the Middle East.

It's also known that in 1522, in the Turkish city of Constantinople,

which was the centre of the Ottoman Empire, the court physician approved its use as a medicine.

By the mid-1500s, coffee bushes were being cultivated in the Yemen

and for the next hundred years this region produced most of the coffee drunk in Africa and the Arab world.

What's particularly interesting about coffee is its effect on social life.

It was rarely drunk at home, but instead people went to coffee houses to drink it.

These people, usually men, would meet to drink coffee and chat about issues of the day.

But at the time, this chance to share ideas and opinions was seen as something that was potentially dangerous,

and in 1623 the ruler of Constantinople demanded the destruction of all the coffee houses in the city,

although after his death many new ones opened, and coffee consumption continued.

In the seventeenth century, coffee drinking spread to Europe,

and here too coffee shops became places where ordinary people, nearly always men, could meet to exchange ideas.

Because of this, some people said that these places performed a similar function to universities.

The opportunity they provided for people to meet together outside their own homes and to discuss the topics of the day

had an enormous impact on social life, and many social movements and political developments had their origins in coffee house discussions.

在我的演讲中，我将会讨论一下咖啡，以及它的经济和社会重要性。

我们觉得是阿拉伯的人开始喝的咖啡，但是很少有1500年代之前的任何书面证据，尽管那并不意味着之前人们不知道它。

然而，有证明表明咖啡刚开始是从埃塞俄比亚的野生灌木丛中收集的，在非洲的东北部。

在十六世纪早期，商贩买到了咖啡，

然后逐渐的，它就作为一种饮品遍布中东各地。

为人所知的是，在1522年，在土耳其的康士坦丁堡，

这座城市是奥斯曼王朝的中心，法医证明了它可以作为一种药物使用。

到16世纪中期，咖啡树已经在也门得到了种植，

在此后几百年里，这个地区生产了非洲和阿拉伯饮用的最多的咖啡。

关于咖啡很有趣的一件事，就是它在社会生活中的影响。

很少有人在家里喝咖啡，相反，人们会去咖啡店喝。

这些人，大多数是男人，会见个面喝咖啡，讨论一下当天的事情。

但是在当时，这个分享想法和观点的机会被看做是有潜在危险的事情，

在1623年，康士坦丁堡的统治者要求毁掉城市所有的咖啡店，

尽管在他死后很多新咖啡店又开了起开，咖啡消费也在持续。

在十七世纪，饮用咖啡传播到了欧洲，

而且当时咖啡店成为普通人，基本上都是男人，会去见面交流想法的地方。

正因为此，一些人说这些地方和大学的功能差不多。

咖啡提供的这个让人们在除家之外的地方见面，以及讨论当天的话题的机会

对社会生活产生了巨大的影响，很多社会运动和政治进步都从咖啡屋的讨论中诞生。

Life doesn't just happen to you; you receive everything in your life based on what you've given.

中译英2：

Papermaking, gunpowder, printing and compass are the Four Great Inventions of ancient China that have exerted a great and far-reaching impact on the entire world. The invention of paper greatly contributed to the spread and development of civilization. The birth of gunpowder was quite accidental. It was invented inadvertently by alchemists while attempting to make an elixir. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, gunpowder was used in military affairs, and was spread to all over the world in the 13th century. On the basis of printing in the Tang Dynasty, BiSheng in the Northern Song Dynasty invented the movable-type printing, which lauched a great revolution in the history of printing.Natural magnets were made into the first direction-finding compass by ancient Chinese people, which greatly improved a ship's ability to navigate over long distances.
