　　PASSAGE ONE
　　While the cities of China have undergone modernization evident in the rising towers and bright lights that have awakened the sleeping country, the countryside remains largely the same.
　　Rectangular rows of rice fields litter the landscape separated by long lanes of water designed to provide the constant supply of water that is vital to produce the crop. The experience is not unlike driving through the American Midwest, only rice not corn dominates the landscape.
　　Four years ago, when I last took this trip, the roads were dust and telephone wires did not run parallel to the highway. Bare roads have been replaced by sleek, newly paved highways running from Shanghai to Nanjing, to my smaller, home city, Wuhu. Unlike the changes I had heard of and expected in Shanghai, Wuhu was much more of a surprise. The small city where I was born had grown up as I have. There are large high-rise buildings, each ringed with smaller buildings around it, many of these apartment complexes. Little seemed familiar and I wonder what my grandparent’
　　s flat built of brick and mortar had become.
　　Perhaps I shouldn’t have been surprised to find out that their home had been demolished and rebuilt as a six story apartment complex as well. Walking up to the second floor I saw my grandfather’s face peering out of the screen door. He began to smile as he saw me, and so did I. Their home is now no different from a western apartment. Equipped with the modern amenities of a gas stove, a toilet, a shower, this was indeed different from four years ago.
　　1. According to the author, dramatic changes took place in ______. A. cities but not countryside of China
　　B. both cities and countryside of China
　　C. countryside but not in large cities
　　D. everywhere

　　Part VTranslation(25 points)
　　Section AFrom English to Chinese (15 points)
　　Directions: Please translate the following English passage into Chinese.
　　Sleeping
　　Why the hell do you keep waking up at 3 a.m. If this happens to you often, you’ re not alone. Chances are, if you mention waking up like this to your doctor, it’
　　ll be diagnosed as a “sleep disorder”, and you’ll be given one of the tens of millions of prescriptions for sleeping pills handed out to people each year. So how the hell are we meant to do it The idea of the sleep pattern natural to mankind has surprisingly changed from an uninterrupted eight hours to sleeping in segments; three to five hours of sleep, an hour of wakefulness and then another three to five hour nap. This small window of consciousness was renowned as the best time for boning. If you stay calm and allow yourself to fall back to sleep naturally rather than lying there wondering why you’re awake, you usually won’t see any negative effects the next day.
