原文：对于一名女子来说，传统美是她的唯一标志。她的皮肤应该天生丽质，没有皱纹，没有疤痕，没有瑕疵。她的身材应该消瘦苗条，通常高挑个，双腿修长，其中青春年少则是首要条件。所有在电视广告中出现的“花容月貌”的靓女都符合这个标准。这种形象是人为的，是可以人工塑造的。许多妇女尽其所能来摆布和修改自己的容貌体态。 参考译文：Plastic Surgery To a woman,the traditional beauty is her only mark.Her skin should be born smooth without wrinkles,scars or flaws.Her body should be slim and thin,and usually she is tall,having long legs.The youth is the primary condition.All of the beauties who have showed up in the TV commercials are fit for that criterion.This image is artificial and can be made by people.Many women do their best to decorate and modify their looks and figures.

预测二 二十四节气 The UN Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has inscribed China's "The Twenty-Four Solar Terms" on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. 联合国教科文组织将中国的“二十四节气”列入联合国教科文组织人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录。 “二十四节气”是中国人通过观察太阳周年运动,认知一年中时令、气候、物候等方面变化规律所形成的知识体系和社会实践。 China's '24 solar terms' is a knowledge system and social practice formed through observations of the sun's annual motion, and cognition of the year's changes in season, climate and phenology. 中国古人将太阳周年运动轨迹划分为24等份，每一等份为一个“节气”,统称“二十四节气”。具体包括：立春、雨水、惊蛰、春分、清明、谷雨、立夏、小满、芒种、夏至、小暑、大暑、立秋、处暑、白露、秋分、寒露、霜降、立冬、小雪、大雪、冬至、小寒、大寒。 The 24 terms include Start of Spring, Rain Water, Awakening of Insects, Spring Equinox, Qingming Festival, Grain Rain, Start of Summer, Grain Buds, Grain in Ear, Summer Solstice, Minor Heat, Major Heat, Start of Autumn, End of Heat, White Dew, Autumn Equinox, Cold Dew, Frost's Descent, Start of Winter, Minor Snow, Major Snow, Winter Solstice, Minor Cold and Major Cold. “二十四节气”指导着传统农业生产和日常生活,是中国传统历法体系及其相关实践活动的重要组成部分。在国际气象界,这一时间认知体系被誉为“中国的第五大发明”。 China's 24 Solar Terms is a calendar of twenty-four periods and climate to govern agricultural arrangements in ancient China and functions even now.

预测三 西安 古都西安，一颗闪烁着古代文明和高科技之光的历史文化名城。西安古名长安，是世界四大古都之一。踏上这古老的黄土地，无处不在的是千古文人(literati)名士(people with literary reputation)传诵于世的古风古韵。历史文化的沉积，造就了一个著名的旅游城市。西安，这座让游人流连忘返的城市，在很久以前就享有“通史博物馆(General History Museum ) ”的美誉。  范文： Ancient capital Xi'an is a noted historic and cultural city shining the light of ancient civilization and high technology. Xi'an，once called Chang'an, is one of the four ancient capitals of the world. Setting foot on this ancient ground, you can feel ancient customs and rhymes everywhere, which have been widely read by literati and people with literary reputation for thousands of years. This famous tourism city is created by the sediment of historical culture. Xi'an，a city that let people linger on with no thought of leaving has long enjoyed the good name of the“General History Museum”

预测四 苏州 苏州是一个具有悠久丝绸文化历史的城市。它有栽桑、养蚕、缫丝和织造的传统。苏州的丝绸是皇家贡品，早在唐宋时期就在世界范围内享有盛名。苏州市有自然优势，日照充足，雨量充沛，土壤肥沃，这些给蚕茧的高产和丝的高质量提供了合适的环境。它一直是中国丝绸原料的主要产地和集散中心。 参考译文： Suzhou is a city with a long history of silk culture. It has a tradition of mulberry planting, sericulture, silk reeling and weaving. Suzhou’s silk was an imperial tribute and gained a worldwide reputation from as early as the Tang and Song dynasties. Suzhou city also abounds in natural gifts, abundant sunshine, plentiful rainfall and rich soils, which offer a pleasant environment for high yield of cocoons and high qualities of silk. It has been the main producing area and distributing center of raw silk materials in China.

预测五 音乐 原文：尽管音乐对每个人来说，都再熟悉不过了，但是几乎每个人对 这门艺术都有自己的观点看法。什么音乐算是好的音乐，这是见仁 见智的。各个音乐风格都有自己的经典音乐作品流行的并不完全等 于经典的。一个好的音乐作品，是创作者(creator)和演奏者(performer) 双方共同努力的结果，二者相辅相成，缺一不可。 参考译文：Music While music is familiar to virtually everyone it is an art, about which everyone has an opinion. What defines “great”music is, very much, a personal issue. There is “great”music in every style but what is popular does not always define the quality. Music is a joint effort between the creator and the performer and one cannot exist without the other.

预测六 睡眠紊乱 原文：我们的身体夜晚需要休息，白天需要清醒。大多数人每晚需要8到8.5个小时的睡眠才能正常运转。找到更多的时间、更好的睡眠方法可能是个挑战。科学家已经确认了80多种不同的睡眠紊乱症(sleep disorders)。有些睡眠紊乱症是遗传的。但是，许多睡眠紊乱症是由于熬夜，经常跨时区旅行以及上夜班而引起的。 参考译文：Sleep Disorders Our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives.Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80 different sleep disorders. Some sleeping disorders are genetic. But many problems are caused by staying up late and by traveling frequently between time zone or by working nights.

预测七 设计产业的趋势 原文：中国公司想创造世界品牌，外国公司想增加在中国的销量，这些都正改变着中国的设计产业。中国制造商意识到，若他们想在本国市场脱颖而出，在外国市场崭露头角，就必须设计更好的产品。索尼这样的外国公司也开始明白，从前海外公司常把随便什么地方设计的产品拿到中国来卖，而现在，中国消费者变得更加挑剔，他们不再那样容易满足了。 参考译文：The Trend of Design Industry Chinese companies want to create world brands and the foreign companies want to increase the selling in China which all change the Chinese design industry.The Chinese manufacturers realize that they have to design better products if they want to stand out in the domestic markets as well as distinguish themselves in the foreign markets.Previously,the overseas companies always took the products which were designed in somewhere to Chinese market,but now the foreign companies such as Sony begins to realize that the Chinese consumers become more and more fastidious and no longer easy to be satisfied.

预测八 共享单车 Bike-sharing is a greener method of transportation and provides a user-friendly experience. However, it’s a combination of online and offline business. Operators are usually strong in online services, but lack offline business experience, which causes problems. Sharing bikes is an emerging sharing economy. As the government advocates the idea of low-carbon travel, sharing bicycles has attracted more and more attention. 共享单车是种更加绿色的出行方式，并且为用户提供了一种友好的体验。但是这是一种线上和线下商业的结合。经营者的线上业务能力很强，但缺乏线下业务经验，导致了问题产生。共享单车是一种新型共享经济。由于政府提倡低碳出行的理念，共享单车已经吸引了越来越多人的注意。 Sharing a bicycle solves the problem of the last mile in the journey. Green travel, low-carbon and environment-friendly. Bike travel saves energy, reduces pollution, and has a wholesome effect on health. Residents say they will be able to transfer to a small yellow bicycle when they get out of the metro station, which is both convenient and cheap, and they will no longer have to sit in unlicensed motorcycle taxis. Circulated among different users, bicycles on the road have been eventually able to fulfill their mission as a bicycle, facilitating users’ trip and bringing profits to the enterprises, mutual benefit and win-win result. 共享单车解决了出行最后一公里的难题。绿色出行，低碳环保。单车出行既节约能源、减少污染，又益于健康，一举两得。市民表示，如果出了地铁站就可以换乘小黄车，既方便又便宜，就再也不用坐“黑摩的”了。单车在不同用户手中流转，一直在路上的单车终于能实现其作为单车的使命，用户方便了，企业赚钱了，互利共赢。 As lack of management, the companies have been desperately trying to put vehicles on the ground, causing congestion in crowded places such as subway and bus stations. Photos of a bus stop in Beijing and the Shenzhen Bay Park surrounded by thousands of bicycles have been exposed; instead, the so-called convenient bicycles have become a hindrance to public transport in this case. Bicycle operation is susceptible to seasonal changes and weather conditions. If the weather is bad, you have to turn to other means of transportation. Leaving around leads to public disorder, and there will be no beauty in the city if the transport vehicles are so disorderly placed. 因为缺乏管理，各个共享单车企业都在拼命地投放车辆，造成了地铁公交等人流密集场所的堵塞。之前曝出的北京某公交站和深圳湾公园被成千上万辆共享单车围困的照片，反而是对目前公共交通的一种妨碍。自行车的运营受季节变化、天气状况等影响也比较大。天气情况不好的话，只能放弃换乘其他交通工具了。随手乱放，导致没有一点公共秩序，城市如果被这样乱停乱放，哪有美观可言。
