2.       Passage Translation

1)        Australia is almost a continent by itself. The vastness of the land, the relative small population and the rich nature resources make the country the most ideal place to live. For the past decade, Australia has increased its exports of more materials to China, which in turn has greatly aided its economy. However, because of the global financial crisis, Australia’s economy has show signs of slowdown. The Australian dollar is said to have lost its value against the US dollar by ten percent in the last three weeks.

2)        In today’s world, your personal security is largely your financial security.

Although there is still no absolute protection from all of life’s hazards, wise financial planning can soften its harshest blow.

评析：

难度系数：★★★★

2、  第二段主旨为合理的个人理财对生活带来保障。其中基本的经济金融类词汇是关键，对于考生而言也是弱项。个别单词如hazard、soften、harshest可能会造成一些理解障碍。此段难度中等偏上。
