Today, Harvard is a university that is far more open and inclusive to men and to women, to persons of all faiths, to persons of all races, to persons from every state in our country, to persons from every country in the world. We still have a long way to go if we are going to be more inclusive and open, if we are going to get the benefits that diverse perspectives provide. But even more, if we are going to bring the best learners and teachers to our campus, we must cast our net for excellence as widely as we can.
As universities have evolved, so too have the best and most sophisticated business organizations, and so too have the governments of the most developed countries. They have evolved away from choosing narrow elite based on personal connection towards finding the people who are most able and can make the greatest contribution.
2. 请将以下段落翻译为汉语（25分）。（必做题）
We will not, however be able to grasp these opportunities unless our children are equipped with the mathematics and science skills needed to compete in a global marketplace. We need, too, to close the digital divide. The US ranks only 15th in the world in broadband access, with 45 million adults without it at home. The next president must make a top priority of building this 21st century infrastructure, much as president Dwight D. Eisenhower saw the interstate highway system as vital to the nation’s economic growth in the mid-20th century. The internet, which enables the open and free exchange of information, is critical to our future economic growth. It has already proved to be vital to entrepreneurs and America’s small businesses, which generate up to 80 per cent of new jobs in the US. But continuing this record will require a strong federal commitment to keeping the internet open.
3. 请将以下段落翻译为汉语（25分）。（选做题）
Two things are outstanding in the creation of the English system of canals, and they characterize all the industrial revolution. One is that the men who made the revolution were practical men. Like Brindley, they often had little education, and in fact school education as it then was could only dull an incentive mind. The grammar schools legally could only teach the classical subjects for which they had been founded. The universities also (there were only two, at Oxford and Cambridge) took little interest in modern or scientific studies; and they were closed to those who did not conform to the Church of England.
4. 请将以下段落翻译为汉语（25分）。（选做题）
Do you feel that your home is a safe place and that danger lies only in the outside world? Would danger lie only in the outside world? Would you be surprised to learn that your “safe place” could be a very dangerous place? The truth is that accidents at home result in more injuries than motor vehicle and workplace accidents put together. Serious injuries and even death can be caused by accidental falls, fires, burns, poisonings, and electrical hazards.
Falls are the number one cause of accidental deaths in the home every year and the main reason for accidental deaths of the elderly. They are mostly due to slippery surfaces or loose rugs. Fires, often caused by cigarette smoking, are more dangerous for the smoke and poisonous gases they create than for the actual flames.

Most people know that Marie Curie（居里夫人）was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner. Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curie’s two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the college in Paris. Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, Irene died from radioactivity on March 17, 1956.
