【完形填空出题来自原课文，如下带黄色背景部分为答案】
From that point the odds seemed to move toward Chavel with a dreadful inevitability: nine to one, eight to one; they were like a pointing finger. The men who were left drew more quickly and more carelessly: they seemed to Chavel to have some inner information—to know that he was the one. When his time came to draw there were only three slips left, and it appeared to Chavel a monstrous injustice that there were so few choices left for him.
【从那时起，对查维尔来说，抽中死签的可能性似乎以一种不可避免的可怕趋势发生着变化。

9比1，8比1，抽中死签的可能性好像指向了他。

剩下的人抽得越来越快，越来越随便。

在查维尔看来，他们似乎都知道了某种秘密，知道他会抽到死签。

轮到他抽签时，只剩下了3张纸，留给他的机会这么少，在他看来真是不公平。

【来自高英上册Lesson 10 The Tenth Man P142】
It is a success in so far as more women retain their youthful appearance to a greater age than in the past. "Old ladies" are already becoming rare. In a few years, we may well believe, they will be extinct. White hair and wrinkles, a bent back and hollow cheeks will come to be regarded as medievally old-fashioned. The crone of the future will be golden, curly and cherry-lipped, neat ankled and slender.
【成功的一面是更多妇女比过去更长久地保持年轻的容颜。

“老太太”已经很少，我们完全有理由相信在未来的几年，老态龙钟的老太太将会消失，白发、皱纹、驼背、深陷的双颊将被当作果实的中世纪流行时尚。

未来的老妇将全是金发卷曲、唇色红润、脚踝匀称，身体苗条。

【来自高英上册Lesson 15 The Beauty Industry P226】
Age discrimination in employment is unrestrained , with arbitrary retirement practices and bias against hiring older people for available jobs. Social Security penalized the old by reducing their income checks as soon as they earn more than $2,400 a year. Job-training programs don’t want the elderly ( or the middle-aged , for that matter), so there is no opportunity to learn new skills .
【就业方面的年龄歧视未受任何限制，退休规定的具体做法很随意，在雇人时对上年纪的人有歧视。

一旦老年人工作一年能挣2，400美元以上，社会福利安全制便用减低福利金的办法来惩罚他们。

职业训练项目不原意接收老年人（连中年人也不要），因此他们没有机会学新技能。

【来自高英下册Lesson 4 The Tragedy of Old Age in America P55】
Another solitary man was fishing further along the canal, but Arthur knew that they would leave each other in peace, would not even call out greetings. No one bothered you: you were a hunter, a dreamer, your own boss，away from it all for a few hours on any day that the weather did not throw down its rain. Like the corporal in the army who said it was marvellous the things you thought about as you sat on the lavatory.
【在河岸上边不远处，还有一个人在独自垂钓。

阿瑟知道他们不会互相打扰，甚至不会
打一声招呼。

没有人会打扰你：你是一个猎人，一个追梦者，你是自己的主人。

在任何一个只要不下雨的日子，可以好几个钟头都远离外界的打扰。

就像军队里的那个下士所说的那样，你在蹲厕所时所思所想的是非常奇妙的。

【来自高英下册Lesson 14 Saturday Night and Sunday Morning P243】
Five thousand hours, I am told, are what a typical college undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours you could have learned enough to become an astronomer or en-gineer. You could have learned several languages fluently. If it appealed to you, you could be reading Homer in the original Greek or Dostoyevsky in Russian. If it didn't, you could have walked around the world and written a book about it.
【听说一个大学生仅用5000小时就可以获得学士学位。

在1万个小时内你能学成一个天文学家或工程师，流利掌握几门外语。

如果你感兴趣的话，你可能读希腊原文的荷马史诗或俄文版的陀思妥耶夫斯基的作品；如果对此不感兴趣，那你可以徒步周游世界，撰写一本游记。

【翻译出题来自原课文】
像所有的艺术家一样，摇滚音乐家像一面镜子一样反射出枪杆和信仰，这些感情和信仰又帮助我们认识并形成自己的感情和信仰。

Like all artists, these rock musicians mirror feelings and beliefs that help us see and form our own.
【来自高英上册Lesson 1 Rock Superstars P4】
这个时候一对青年男女走过来坐在刚才那对老夫妻坐的地方。

Just at that moment a boy and a girl came and sat down where the old couple had been.
【来自高英上册Lesson 7 Miss Brill P95】
语言则是个更微妙的问题，得花费很大的工夫讨论。

这里我只能说，近几年来，我竭力减少生动形象的描写，尽量写得更谨严简练。

我发现一位作家一旦使某种文笔风格臻于完善，他也就已经超越了这种风格。

The problem of language is subtler and would take too long to discuss.
1 will only say that of late years I have tried to write less picturesquely and more exactly.
In any case I find that by the time you have perfected any style of writing, you have always outgrown it.
【来自高英上册Lesson 12 Why I Write P176】
他母亲走进屋里，将他那裹在蓝毯子里的女儿抱了出来。

His mother went into the house and brought back his daughter , wrapped in a blue blanket.
【来自高英下册Lesson 7 Ace in the Hole P104】
成熟时间、大小和形状比它们吃起来味道像胡萝卜这事更重要。

Ripening time and identity of size and shape are , nowadays , more important in carrots than the fact that they taste like carrots .
