This book is compiled in line with the spirit of the "Provisional Regulations on the Translation Professional Qualification (Level) Examination" issued by the National Personnel Department and in accordance with the requirements of the "Outline for the Second-Level Translation Examination in French (Trial)." Consistent with the third-level textbook, this book consists of 8 units, each with 2 lessons (topics include: Sports and Entertainment, Tourism and Transportation, Politics and Society, Culture and Heritage, Education and Health, Economy and Business, Industry and Agriculture, Science and Technology); Each lesson is divided into two main parts: text and exercises. The text includes a basic vocabulary list, a phrase list, text annotations, and reading comprehension questions. The exercises are designed according to the exam format, divided into four main parts: vocabulary and grammar, reading comprehension, cloze, and composition. Among them, the reading materials, cloze, and composition are all written based on the lesson themes; the vocabulary and grammar exercises are independently designed to meet the needs of candidates preparing for the exam. The book includes reference answers at the end. The texts and reading materials in this book are selected from major French newspapers and magazines such as Le Monde, Le Figaro, Le Nouvel Observateur, Le Point, Libération, and L'Express, news agency reports from AFP, as well as some publications and websites. We express our gratitude here to these newspapers, news agencies, books, and websites. The texts and reading materials in this book have been carefully selected and are matched with the corresponding themes of the third-level content, aiming to deepen and broaden language knowledge and allow readers to have more exposure to and understanding of contemporary France, such as the 35-hour workweek, pension system reform, the first French presidential election, major political parties, biotechnology, internet and mobile technology, Paris transportation, university education, wine culture, etc. Therefore, this book can not only be used for exam preparation but also as a reading book or textbook for advanced French students.
