Last year saw one two-day storm dump more than 30 tons of choking sand/grit on local streets before high winds carried it east to South Korea. Meanwhile,in efforts to reduce the effects of the storms, the Chinese government is reinforcing the Beijing--Tianjin sandstorm source, control program with new policies to boostthe efficacy of current tree-planting and' greening~ measures.: The program covers 75 counties in Hebei and Shanxi provinces, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous region and Beijingand Tianjin municipalities -- a total area of 458,000 square kilometers. Over the next 10 years, 205,000 square kilometers of desert and soil-eroded land will be grassed.To date, a total of 2. 28 million hectares of such land have been transformed and 1.4 million hectares of woods planted. Just over two million hectares of new grassland andforestry have emerged in the regions covered by the program, resulting in a gradualimprovement in overall ecological conditions.Despite this, it has become harder for the program to be carried out. To reduce or negate sandstorms in the capital as soon as possible, it is imperative to readjust current policies for desertification control and afforestation under the present program. Thus new policies will include permission for individuals to enjoy the same state subsidies forafforestation as official economic entities.Questions (30- 34) Multiple Choice: Choose the best answer among the choices given. Write the appropriate letters in the space indicated on the answer sheet.30. Onslaught meansa. arrivalb. violent attackc. advanced. torture31.

For most Americans, two of these stand out above the others as occasions to cherish national originsThanksgiving and the Fourth of July.1. Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday in November, but many Americans takea day of vacation on the following Friday to make a four-day weekend, during which they may travel long distances to visit family and friends. The holiday dates back to 1621, the year after the Puritans arrivedin Massachusetts, determined to practice their dissenting religion without interference.After a rough winter, in which about half of them died, they turned for help to neighboring Indians, who taught them how to plant corn and other crops. The next fall' s bountiful harvest inspired the Pilgrims to give thanks by holding a feast. The Thanksgiving feast became a national tradition--not only because so many other Americans have found prosperity but also because the Pilgrims' sacrifices for their freedom still captivate the imagination. To this day, Thanksgiving dinner almost always includes some of the foods served at the first feast: roast turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes, pumpkin pie. Before the meal begins, families or friends usually pause to give thanks for their blessings, including the joy of being united for the occasion.2. The Fourth of July, or Independence Day, honors the nation's birthday--the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It is a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts and fireworks. The flying of the American flag (which also occurs on Memorial Day and other holidays) is widespread. On July 4, 1976, The 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence was marked by grand festivals across the mation.Besides Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July, there are six other uniquely American holidays.3. Martin Luther King Day: The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., an African-American clergyman, is considered a great American because of his tireless efforts to win civil rights for all people through nonviolent means. Since his assassination in 1968, memorial services have marked his birthday on January 15. In 1986, that day was replaced by the third Monday of January, which was declared a national holiday.4. Presidents' Day: Until the mid-1970s, the February 22 birthday of George Washington, hero of the Revolutionary War and first president of the United States, was a national holiday. In addition, the February 12 birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the president during the Civil War, was a holiday in most states. The two days have been joined, and the holiday has been expanded to embrace all past presidents. It is celebrated on the third Monday in February.5. Memorial Day: Celebrated on the fourth Monday of May, this holiday honors the dead. Although it originated in the aftermath of the Civil War, it has become a day on which the dead of all wars, and the dead generally, are remembered in special programs held in cemeteries, churches, and other public meeting places.6. Labor Day: The first Monday of September, this holiday honors the nation' s working people, typically with parades. For most Americans it marks the end of the summer vacation season, and for many students the opening of the school year.7. Columbus Day: On October 12, 1492, Italian navigator Christopher Columbus landed in the New World. Although most other nations of the Americas observe this holiday on October 12, in the United States it takes place on the second Monday in October.8. Vetrans Day: Originally called Armistice Day, this holiday was established to honor Americans who had served in World War I. It falls on November 11, the day when that war ended in 1918, but it now honors veterans of all wars in which the United States has fought.

Made possible by new construction techniques and the invention of the elevator, the first skyscraper went up in Chicago in 1884.Many of the most graceful early towers were designed by Louis Sullivan (1856--1924), America's first great modern architect. His most talented student was Frank Lloyd Wright (1869--1959), who spent much of his career designing private residences with matching furniture and generous use of open space. One of his best-known buildings, however, is a public one: the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.European architects who emigrated to the United States before World War Il launched what became a dominant movement in architecture, the International Style. Perhaps the most influential of these immigrants were Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886--1969)and Walter Gropius (1883--1969), both former directors of Germany' s famous design school, the Bauhaus. Based on geometric forms, buildings in their style have been both praised as monuments to American corporate life and dismissed as “glass boxes.” In reaction, younger American architects such as Michael Graves (1945--) have rejected the austere, boxy look in favor of “postmodern” buildings with striking contours and bold decoration that alludes to historical styles of architecture.45. Who was Frank Lloyd Wright' s famous teacher?a. Louis Sullivan.b. Ludwig Mies van der Rhoe.c. Walter Gropius.d. George W. Bush.46. Choose from the following those who were originally not American designers of buildings?a. Wright.b. Sullivan.c. Van der Rohe.d. Walter Gropius.47. What invention made very tall buildings possible?a.

It is 21. 7 kilometers long and 3.8 kilometers wide at its widest point. It contains New York's tallest buildings as well as some of the largest schools and colleges, and the most famous financial and theater districts in the United States. It has skyscrapers and Central Park, the old and the new, the best and the worst. It is like no other big city. It is unique.To understand Manhattan, we must know something of its early history: its early days of Dutch colonists and English settlers; the waves of nineteenth @ century European immigrants who arrived at its shores; the African @ Americans who moved north after the Civil War; recent immigrants from China and other parts of Asia; and young people who go to New York from all over America. It is a mix of ethnic groups and cultures, successes and failures, hopes and fears.The United States is a nation of immigrants and no other city displays this fact as well as New York City. From Chinatown and Little 1taly to Harlem, New York is a place where communities take pride in retaining their ethnicity. Most immigrants went to America with very little. They were the poor and unhappy in their OWTI countries. America gave them hope and a new beginning. Millions of immigrants have prospered in America.On July 4, 1884, the people of France gave to the United States as a symbol of friendship, a statue sculptured by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. This statue was placed on an island in New York Harbor. It is 46 meters high and is' the first sight immigrants see as they come into New York City by ship. It is known as the Statue of liberty. On the statue is a poem written by Emma Lazarus. This poem sums up the American tradition of accepting people from other countries. It follows: Give me your tired, your poor,Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,The -wretched refuse of your teeming shore.Send these, the homeless, tempest —tossed to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door!Questions 30 —34.

New York City is ________.A. the only big city with a ChinatownB. the largest city in the worldC. home to many ethnic groupsD. the richest city on earthPart 2: Questions 35 —39 are based on the following passage. 10 pointsAmericans assume that people need some time to themselves or some time alone to think about things or recover their spent psychological energy. Americans have great difficulty understanding people who always want to be with another person and who dislike being alone. In America a person wants to have a space that's his or hers without having to share it with anyone else. Having someone read an .American's mail or touch an American's possessions can cause a serious problem for a well —meaning person of another culture who does not understand American values.If parents can afford it, each child will have Ills or her own bedroom. Having one' sown bedroom, even as an infant, instills in that person the idea that he/she is entitled to a place of his/her own where he/ she can be by him/herself and keep his/her possessions. American children have their own clothes, toys and textbooks. American parents often do not even enter their children's rooms without their children's permission.Americans assume that people have their private thoughts that might never be shared with anyone. Doctors, lawyers and other have rules that prevent information from becoming public or known to anyone but the client and the professional.Americans are difficult to understand as their homes and offices seem open and inviting. Yet there are boundaries people do not cross. Although Americans are friendly, it may be difficult to establish a friendship with an American. Time is the American ' s most valuable possession and, if one wastes his/her time, the American is usually angry.Integrity is often seen by Americans as the most important virtue. Integrity is keeping one 's word. If an American gives anyone his word, he will honor it especially if he/she is from the Southern United States. In oilier parts of the country one's \vord often has to be on paper. Writing an agreement makes it official. "Writing a complaint makes it official.Questions 35 —39. Based on the information in the text, match the explanation In Column B with the attitude In Column A. On your answer sheet, write the appropriate letters In the spaces given.A B35. Americans ' attitude A. They don' t like people who always wanttowards being alone to be with another person.B.

Some personal information is preventedtowards children from becoming public or being known.D. They keep their words.37. Americans ' attitude E. They put their words on paper to maketowards private thoughts them official.F. They can think about things alone or re-cover their spent psychological energy.G. Some of the thoughts never shared withothers.38. Americans ' attitude H. It seems the homes and offices are nottowards home and office open and inviting.1. Integrity is the most important virtue.J. Kach child will have his or her own bed-room.39. Americans ' attitude K. They will be upset if their mails are readtowards integrity by someone.L.

There are a number of reasons why that’s true，but none more prominent than a failed system of education that eschews （回避）teaching children the traditional moral values that bind Americans together as a society and a culture。
That failed approach，called “decision-making，” was introduced in schools 25 years ago. It tells children to decide for themselves what is right and what is wrong。
It replaced “character education。
（品格教育）” Character education didn’t ask children to reinvent the moral wheel （浪费时间重新发明早已存在的道德标准）; instead, it encouraged them to practice habits of courage, justice and self—control.In the 1940s, when a character education approach prevailed，teachers worried about students chewing gum；today they worry about robbery and rape。

In America a person wants to have a space that’s his or hers without having to share it with anyone else. Having someone read an American’s mail or touch an American’s possessions can cause a serious problem for a well-meaning person of another culture who does not understand American value.If parents can afford it, each child will have his or her own bedroom. Having one’s own bedroom, even as an infant, instills in that person the idea that she/he is entitled to a place of her/his own where she/himself and keep her/his possessions/ American children have their own clothes, toys and textbooks.American parents often do not even enter their children’s rooms without their children’s permission.Americans assume that people have their private thoughts that might never be shared wit anyone.Doctors, lawyers and others have rules that prevent information from becoming public or known to anyone but the client and professional.Americans are difficult to understand as their homes and offices seem open and inviting. Yet there boundaries people do not cross. Although Americans are friendly, it may be difficult to establish a friendship with an American. Time is the American’s most valuable possession and, if one wastes his/her time, the American is usually angry.Integrity is often seen by Americans as the most important virtue. Integrity is keeping one’s word. If an American given anyone his word, he will honor it especially if he/she is from the Southern United States. In other parts of the country one’s word often has to be on paper. Writing an agreement makes it official. Writing a complaint makes it official.Questions 33~36. Choose the best answer from the choices given. Write the appropriate letters in the spaces indicated on the answer sheet.33. According to the article above, Americans _________.A.like people who always want to be with another personB.dislike being aloneC.are easy to make friends withD.can be upset if their mail is read by someone34. Which of the following statements is NOT true?a.An American needs space that is totally his/hers.b.Medical personnel do not release their patients’ files.c.Each child will have his/her own bedroom when he/she reaches school age.d.Americans value integrity.25.According to the article, Americans like to ______a.have their own carsb.have time alonec.visit foreign countriesd.eat their words26.According to the article, Americans do not ______a.have their own carsb.like making friends with people from different culturesc.keep their wordsd.tolerate people who waste their time.Part 3.

1：0uestions(30—34)are based on passage 1． 1 0 pointsPassage 1Born In The U．S．A．As a creation of the Defense Department and U．S．universities，the Internet at first drew mostly U．S．bureaucrats and academics．Although its founders assigned domain names for about 250 countries—such as．uk for the United Kingdom and．no for Norway—U．S．domination continued even when the Net became more commercial．“If the U．S．could have invented a device t0 export their culture and their policies and the whole fabric of theAmerican experiment，they couldn’t have done better，” said Don Heath，president of t11e nonprofit Internet Society in Reston，Va．A strong private sector made this domination possible，said David Colton of theInformation Technology Association of America in Arlington，Va．Private phone lines in the United States allow cheap connections to the Net，and business entrepreneurs provide money for risky start-ups．With few users outside the United States，foreign companies had little incentive to produce their own content．And with scant local content，foreign residents had littleincentive to connect．As recently as a year ago，many Europeans avoided the Internet，viewing it as“an American toy，”said Liesbeth Hop，president of Pro Active International，an Internet research group based in Amsterdam．Most U．S．-based retail sites are in English and deal in U．S．dollars．They also typically require credit cards，she said，even though Europeans are used to billing or cash on delivery．However，foreign businesses have been busily moving onto the Internet，especially in thetravel industry．“It’S still considered a very American network，though we are making it ours at the moment，” Hop said．And programmers around the world are developing software to translate text into other languages，although there still are kinks that make mistakes，such as changing Bill Gates to “invoice of fences．”Questions(30—34)Multiple Choice：Choose the best answer among the choices given．Write the appropriate letters

sites are ．a．supermarketsb．shopsC．money-changersd．Internet sales operationsPart 2：Questions(35—38)are based on passage 2·10 pointsPassage 21．Shortly after Brenda Tallman had arrived as publisher at the Plattsburgh PressRepublican in northeastern New York State，in 1986，she learned an important lesson about small—town newspapering in the United States．“You have to remember that the person you are talking about is probably rela ted to theperson you are talking to，” she says with a slight grin．Understanding human nature is absolutely essential to the survival and growth of America’s small—town newspapers·Through the eyes of newspaper people，the grand designs of the U．S．Constitu tion’sprotection of press freedom appear less monumental when they are viewed alongside patternsof long—standing，close-knit relationships in a place like Plattsburgh．2．Tallman，who has been in the newspaper business for all of her adult life，is anemphatic defender of press freedom．Since coming to Plattsburgh，she has had to resist community pressure on several occasions for the sake of full , fair，and accurate newscoverage．3．But in a small city like Plattsburgh，with a population of 26，000，one need not recite the constitutional protections from the rooftops．The sensibility and close associations of small towns can be taken into account，Tallman believes，without damaging a newspaper’sright to unfettered publication．4．“Our role as a small—town newspaper is to make people aware of their surroundings and the changes that are taking place，” Tallman explains during an interview at the modern newspaper plant，located in the downtown area．The population demographics have remainedrelatively stable for generations in Plattsburgh．’5．Government-related industries such as prisons，customs，and border patrols(Plattsburgh is some 45 kilometers from the U.S．_Canadian border)employ a largepercentage of the civilian population．6．“People who live here went to school with one another；they know everybody’s sins and weaknesses；they remember the‘F’[failing grade-]on the mathematics test in secondary school，”explains Tallman．“Certainly we are mindful of the readership and the community we serve．and the makeup Of the area．So we do some things that other papers don’t．It’s important if someone has won an award，and we do a lot of the‘chicken dinner’[community activities-I stuff That’s our purpose．”·7．The Press-Republican has a circulation of over 23，000 in a three—county area，placing it among the ranks of hundreds of other small U．S．dailies．Because their audiences are much smaller，more specific，and more familiar，community media such as local newspaper，television，and radio operations must approach the news differently from their big-city counterparts．Coverage is targeted to the needs and desires of a narrow audience．Thus，happenings that might rate only a line or two，if that，in a metropolitan paper receive full—blown attention in the local media．Questions 35—38 Matching：Match each of the items in column A with 2 or 3 related itemsPart 3：Questions(39—48)are based on passage 3. 20 pointsPassage 3(A)Marriage at St．Mary’sA hundred and fifty guests attended the marriage ceremony of Jane Francis Harrison，of Morton，and Henry Barlow from Surrey．The Reverend J．H．Casey officiated at the St．Mary’s church．The bride，who wore a white silk gown and carried a spray of white roses and gypsophila，was given away by her father，Felix Harrison．She was attended by three bridesmaids in pale pink silk dresses，and a page boy in a sailor suit．The best man was William Barlow，the groom’s brother After the ceremony，there was a buffet reception at the County Hotel．The happy couple spent the first night of their married life in the hotel，before leaving Morton on Sunday morning，for a honeymoon in Scotland．(B)Local man weds Chinese doctorGuests at Morton registry office on Saturday enjoyed the marriage ceremony of WangYang，from Shanghai，China and local man，David Gibson．The couple met three years ago in Manchester，where Wang was studying medicine．The bride wore a traditional Chinese dress of red silk and carried yellow roses．Thewitnesses were the bride’s close fr iend，Ling Mei，and the bridegroom’s friend，PhilipWard．An informal reception party for the couple was held at the home of the groom’s parents，Mr ．and Mrs ．Amold Gibson．The couple left for a honeymoon in the south of France on Saturday evening．Questions 39—43．Guided Summary：Fill the blanks with one t0 two words from Passage 3“complete the summary．Text A and B are two local news items from a newspaper．Both items

The package is divided into two buckets—base salary and bonus.The bonusis tied to graduation rates,affordability,student achievement, philanthropic support,faculty excellence,and strategic program initiatives.In establishing this bonus system,Daniels married traditional notions of academic quality—as measured by excellence in faculty,programs and resources—with an equal emphasis on effective outcomes and price controls:graduation rates,affordability,and student achievement.(6)In so doing,Daniels has demonstrated his belief that there is common ground to be found between the university and government.The choice is not quality or effectiveness,not excellence or affordability;the future of higher education is not a zero-sum game in which one side wins and the other loses.Rather,he believes it is possible to balance the seemingly conflicting goals of government and higher education.—(7) Daniels is not the first president to have his salary tied to achieving institutional goals, but he is probably the most visible. Moreover, although Daniels is renouncing involvement in partisan politics as he enters the Purdue presidency, he is a former Republican governor and party leader known as a frugal fiscal conservative. Historically, the divisions have been greater between Republicans and the academy than has been the case withDemocrats. In a very real sense, what Daniels has chosen to do is somewhat akin to Nixon going to China. He has undertaken an experiment to be closely watched. If successful, he will have established a potential model for the country.(8) Typically, presidents reserve such powerful statements for theirinaugural addresses. Though such addresses are sincere in intent —I can vouch for that, as someone who has given two and listened to many more they are generally aspirational; they articulate hopes and dreams for what aninstitution can become. Daniels has already done something very different. He is putting himself on the line in a very public fashion. Year after year his salary will be determined by his success. And perhaps even moreimportantly, his success or failure will be public when his board announces the size and rationale for his bonus.(9) It’s a bold step —and Governor Daniels should be applauded for taking it.II.

Read the following passages and answer questions. (60%;2 points each)Passage 1Boost for Beijing - Tianjin Sandstorm ControlProgramAs spring draws near, Beijingers'thoughts are turning to the annual onslaught of March sandstorms on their city -- ordeals which see many tons of sand and grit dumped on large areas and which get into buildings and clog people's hair, eyes and nostrils. Last year saw one two-day storm dump more than 30 tons of choking sand/grit on local streets before high winds carried it east to South Korea. Meanwhile, in efforts to reduce the effects of the storms, the Chinese government is reinforcing theBeijing--Tianjin sandstorm source, control program with new policies to boost the efficacy of current tree-planting and' greening~ measures.: The program covers 75 counties in Hebei and Shanxi provinces, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous region and Beijing and Tianjin municipalities -- a total area of 458,000 square kilometers. Over the next 10 years, 205,000 square kilometers of desert and soil-eroded land will be grassed.To date, a total of 2. 28 million hectares of such land have been transformed and 1.4million hectares of woods planted. Just over two million hectares of new grassland and forestry have emerged in the regions covered by the program, resulting in a gradual improvement in overall ecological conditions.Despite this, it has become harder for the program to be carried out. To reduce or negate sandstorms in the capital as soon as possible, it is imperative to readjust current policies for desertification control and afforestation under the present program. Thus new policies will include permission for individuals to enjoy the same state subsidies for afforestation as official economic entities.Questions (11- 15) Multiple Choice: Choose the best answer among the choices given. Writethe appropriate letters in the space indicated on the answer sheet.11. Onslaught meansA. arrivalB. violent attackC. advanceD. torture12.

Ecological conditions means.A. what is necessary to improve the climateB. the situation regarding air, land, water and vegetationC. the study of dust and sandstormsD. the methods of desert control and restoration of plants15. Afforestation meansA. replanting old forestsB. reducing forestsC. planting new forestsD. taking care of forestsPassage 2Uniquely American HolidaysEight holidays are uniquely American (although some of them have counterparts in other nations). For most Americans, two of these stand out above the others as occasions to cherish national origins Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July.1. Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday in November, but many Americans take a day of vacation on the following Friday to make a four-day weekend, during which they may travel long distances to visit family and friends. The holiday dates back to 1621, the year after the Puritans arrived in Massachusetts, determined to practice their dissenting religion without interference.After a rough winter, in which about half of them died, they turned for help to neighboring Indians, who taught them how to plant corn and other crops. The next fall's bountiful harvest inspired the Pilgrims to give thanks by holding a feast. The Thanksgiving feast became a national tradition--not only because so many other Americans have found prosperity but also because the Pilgrims' sacrifices for theirfreedom still captivate the imagination. To this day, Thanksgiving dinner almost always includes some of the foods served at the first feast: roast turkey, cranberry sauce, potatoes, and pumpkin pie. Before the meal begins, families or friends usually pause to give thanks for their blessings, including the joy of being united for the occasion.2. The Fourth of July, or Independence Day, honors the nation's birthday--the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. It is a day of picnics and patriotic parades, a night of concerts and fireworks. The flying of the American flag (which also occurs on Memorial Day and other holidays) is widespread. On July 4, 1976, the 200th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence was marked by grand festivals across the motion.Besides Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July, there are six other uniquely American holidays.3. Martin Luther King Day: The Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., an African-American clergyman, is considered a great American because of his tireless efforts to win civil rights for all people through nonviolent means. Since his assassination in 1968, memorial services have marked his birthday on January 15. In 1986, that day was replaced by the third Monday of January, which was declared anational holiday.4. Presidents' Day: Until the mid-1970s, the February 22 birthday of George Washington, hero of the Revolutionary War and first president of the United States, was a national holiday. In addition, the February 12 birthday of Abraham Lincoln, the president during the Civil War, was a holiday in most states. The two days have been joined, and the holiday has been expanded to embrace all past presidents. It is celebrated on the third Monday in February.5. Memorial Day: Celebrated on the fourth Monday of May, this holiday honors the dead. Although it originated in the aftermath of the Civil War, it has become a day on which the dead of all wars and the dead generally, are remembered in special programs held in cemeteries, churches, and other public meeting places.6. Labor Day: The first Monday of September, this holiday honors the nation’s working people, typically with parades. For most Americans it marks the end of the summer vacation season and for many students the opening of the school year.7. Columbus Day: On October 12, 1492, Italian navigator Christopher Columbus landed in the New World. Although most other nations of the Americas observe this holiday on October 12, in the United States it takes place on thesecond Monday in October.8. Veterans Day: Originally called Armistice Day, this holiday was established to honor Americans who had served in World War I. It falls on November 11, the day when that war ended in 1918, but it now honors veterans of all wars in which the United States has fought. Veterans' organizations hold parades, and the president customarily places a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac from Washington, D.C.Questions 16-25. Choose the best answer among the choices given.16. Which American holiday marks the end of summer vacation?A. Labor Day.B. Veterans Day.C. Columbus Day.D. Fourth of July.17.

July 4Passage 3Romance of Three KingdomsThe Ming Dynasty classic Romance of the Three kingdoms, by Luo Guanzhong, has long intrigued readers, both Chinese and foreign, with its depiction of political conspiracies and its character portraits of politicians, statesmen and military strategists.Now a mammoth, 84-part TV series, the play is a faithful adaptation of the original novel, and has become almost as popular overseas as it is at home. It is a panorama of a particular chaotic period in Chinese history, when imperial rule was weak and local monarchs longed for power.The rivals were finally reduced to three main contenders, the rulers of the states of Wei, Shu, and Wu, known in Chinese history as the Three Kingdoms. They fought for over half a century until China was finally reunited under the Jin Dynasty. The story of the play also spans about half a century, starting with local rivalries, moving on to the confrontation of the Three Kingdoms and ending with the final unification of the country.The Three Kingdoms period is one of the most written and talked-about eras in China’s 5,000 years of history. For six decades battles raged back and forth, diplomacy was honed to a fine art, and political alliances were forged and broken in rapid succession. The monarchs of the three kingdoms have gained a reputation throughout history for being smart rulers, and each in turn was served by outstanding underlings, both military and civilian. It was an era in which a battle of wits was even more important than a military battle, a time whentalent collided with talent and military genius with military genius --- in short, a fantastic source of literary creation for generations to come.The novel itself is an epic with an enormous number of protagonists. The central character, if there is one, is Zhuge Liang, military adviser to Liu Bei, ruler of the state Shu. Because of his talents as a statesman and military strategist, Zhuge liang has come to be seen by larger generations of Chinese as the archetype of wisdom. Liu Bei is regarded as the representation of Confucianism. Both the novel and TV play stress his benevolence, leniency, understanding of the people, and the fact that he knew how to get the best out of everyone. Another leading character, Cao Cao, is a far more complex personality. Having forced the young emperor of the Han Dynasty into subservience through his military might, Cao Cao becomes the power behind the throne. Like Zhuge Liang, he is an extraordinary politicianand military strategist, but in addition he is also a poet of great depth. At the same time, however, he is cunning and brutal, egoistical and paranoid --- at least in the novel. The TV presentation, sticking a little closer to known historical facts, portrays both his good and bad sides, bringing to the screen a very real and human character. Perhaps this is why he is the most popular with TV audiences.Questions 31—35. Find the three main characters of the novel/play mentioned in the above text. Make notes on each one.26. Name: _____________Position: Military adviser to the ruler of the State of ShuWords used to describe his personality/activities:_______________________________________ _______________________________27.
