I. Text C II. Exercises III. Chinese version of Text C 参考译文 新加坡 13 新加坡艺术博物馆是由一座历史建筑改造而来的,兼具古代和现代的风格。建筑师和设计师采取最大限度保留的原则,保留了很多19世纪古典建筑的风格,同时精心设计了适合艺术作品的温度控制设施来确保世界各地的博物馆和收藏家的重要作品都能来东南亚参展。博物馆的建筑风格也赋予了其本身的特色,更增强了其对本国和邻国的艺术认识和艺术鉴赏能力的使命感。 * * * * Text C Singapore I. Text Singapore 1 Situated 136.8 km north of the equator, Singapore consists of the main island and some 60 small ones, with a total land area of 693 square km. The land is generally undulating, with a number of low hills, the highest being the 163-metre Bukit Timah Hill. Its geographic location has been a major factor contributing to its growth as a center for trade. 2 Singapore’s climate is warm and humid, with only slight variations between the average daytime maximum of 30.8℃ and evening minimum of 23.9℃. There is no marked wet or dry season; rain falls throughout most of the year. However, during the northeast monsoon period from November to January, Singapore receives more rain than usual. Showers are usually sudden and heavy, but brief. The climate makes Singapore ideal for those who enjoy outdoor sports, including sun-bathing, swimming, sailing and other water sports. 3 Although geography and climate have played a part in the astonishing success of Singapore, the island’s strength lies in its hardworking, adaptable and resilient population. 4 Singapore’s population of about 3.1 million comprises 77% Chinese, 14% Malays, 7% Indians and 1% others. The original inhabitants were Malay fishermen, but after the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles and the establishment of a British trading post in 1819, Singapore became a magnet identity while developing as an integral part of the Singapore community. I. Text 5 The four official languages in Singapore are Malay, Chinese (Mandarin), Tamil and English. Malay is the national language and English is the language of business and administration. Chinese Singaporeans have traditionally spoken their dialects such as Fujian (Hokkien), Guangdong (Cantonese)
