(60 points)Selection OneUncle Tom’s Cabin (Harriet Beecher Stowe)A Slave Warehouse! Perhaps some of my readers conjure up horrible visions of such a place. They fancy some foul, obscure den, some horrible Tartarus “informis, ingens, cui lumen ademptum.” But no, innocent friend! In these days men have learned the art of sinning expertly and genteelly, so as not to shock the eyes and senses of respectable society. Human property is high in the market; and is therefore well fed, well cleaned, tended and looked after, that it may come to sale sleek, and strong, and shining. A slave warehouse in New Orleans is a house externally not much unlike many others, kept with neatness; and where every day you may see arranged, under a sort of shed along the outside, rows of men and women, who stand there as a sign of the property sold within.1. What is the social significance of this novel? Discuss it with reference to its theme.2. What are the features of local colorism? Discuss the local colorism with reference to this novel. Selection TwoLady Lazarus (Sylvia Plath)I have done it again.one year in every tenI manage it—A sort of walking miracle, my skinBright as a Nazi lampshade,My right footA paperweight,My face a featureless, fineJew linen.Peel off the napkinO my enemy.Do I terrify?—The nose, the eye pits, the full set of teeth?The sour breathWill vanish in a day.3. Read the five stanzas taken from the poem. What does the poet want to convey inthis poem?4. Discuss the Confessional Poetry with reference to this poem.Selection 3The Red Badge of Courage (Stephen Crane)Chapter 1The cold passed reluctantly from the earth, and the retiring fogs revealed an army stretched out on the hills, resting. As the landscape changed from brown to green, the army awakened, and began to tremble with eagerness at the noise of rumors. It cast its eyes upon the roads, which were growing from long troughs of liquid mud to proper thoroughfares. A river, amber-tinted in the shadow of its banks, purpled at the army’s feet; and at night, when the stream had become of a sorrowful blackness, one could see across it the red eyelike gleam of hostile camp-fires set in the low brows of distant hills.5. Discuss its main character.6. Discuss American Naturalism with reference to this novel.Selection Fourl(a (e.e. cummings)l(aleaffalls)oneliness7. What is the message conveyed by the poet? Discuss the features of imagism with reference to this poem.8. Comment on the technique adopted by the poet.Selection FiveThe Harbor (Carl Sandburg)Passing through huddled and ugly wallsBy doorways where womenLooked from their hunger-deep eyes,Haunted with shadows of hunger-hands,Out from the huddled and ugly walls,I came sudden, at the city’s edge,On a blue burst of lake,Long lake waves breaking under the sunOn a spray-flung of shore;And a fluttering storm of gulls,Masses of great gray wingsAnd flying white belliesVeering and wheeling free in the open.9. Comment on the message conveyed by the poet.I0. Comment on the skills used by the poet.Selection SixA Valediction: Forbidding Mourning (John Donne)As virtuous men pass mildly away,And whisper to their souls to go,Whilst some of their sad friends do sayThe breath goes now, and some say, No;So let us melt, and make no noise,No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests move,Twere profanation of our joysTo tell the laity our love.Moving of the earth brings harms and fears,Men reckon what it did and meant;But trepidation of theThough greater far, is innocent.Dull sublunary lovers’ love(Whose soul is sense) cannot admitAbsence, because it doth removeThose things which elemented it:But we by a love so much refinedThat our selves know not what it is,Inter-assured of the mind,Care less, eyes, lips, and hands to miss.Our two souls therefore, which are one,Though I must go, endure not yetA breach, but an expansion,Like gold to airy thinness beat.If they be two, they are two soAs stiff twin compasses are two;Thy soul, the fixed foot, makes no showTo move, but doth, if the other do.And though it in the center sit,Yet when the other far doth roam,It leans and hearkens after it,And grows erect, as it comes home.Such wilt thou be to me, who mustLike the other foot, obliquely run;Thy firmness makes my circle just,And makes me end where I began.11. Paraphrase stanza 6 of the poem. Do you think it is proper that the author compares the partingof lovers to a process of working gold? Why do you think so?12. Paraphrase the last three stanzas of the poem, explaining what happens to the two feet of acompass as one moves away and then returns.13. What effect is achieved by the speaker’s associating himself and his beloved with the sphere(line 11)?14. Why should the parting of the lovers not be a cause for mourning?

P. s out with an insouciant flick of his hand and a slightly contemptuous nod--most relaxed, as always, when he could be most cynical. His rimless square eyeglasses glinted with sly amusement as he gazed at Yossarian. “After all, we can’t simply send you home for refusing to fly more missions and keep the rest of the men here, can we? That would hardly be fair to them.”“You’re goddam right!” colonel Cathcart blurted out, lumbering back and forth gracelessly like a winded bull, puffing and pouting angrily. “I’d like to tie him up hand and foot and throw him abroad a plane on every mission. That’s what I’d like to do.”Colonel Korn motioned Colonel Cathcart to be silent and smiled at Yossarian “You know, you really have been making things terribly difficult for Colonel Cathcart,” he observed with flip good humor, as though the fact did not displease him at all. “The men are unhappy and morale is beginning to deteriorate. And it’s all your fault.”“It’s your fault,” Yossarian argued, “for raising the number of missions.”“No, it’s your fault for refusing to fly them,” Colonel Korn retorted. “The men were perfectly content to fly as many missions as we asked as long as they thought they had no alternative. Now you’ve giving them hope, and they’re unhappy. So the blame is all yours.”。

以下就是针对考研专业课的一些十分重要的复习方法和技巧。
一、专业课考试的方法论对于报考本专业的考生来说,由于已经有了本科阶段的专业基础和知识储备,相对会比较容易进入状态。
但是,这类考生最容易产生轻敌的心理,因此也需要对该学科能有一个清楚的认识,做到知己知彼。
跨专业考研或者对考研所考科目较为陌生的同学,则应该快速建立起对这一学科的认知构架,第一轮下来能够把握该学科的宏观层面与整体构成,这对接下来具体而丰富地掌握各个部分、各个层面的知识具有全局和方向性的意义。
做到这一点的好处是节约时间,尽快进入一个陌生领域并找到状态。
很多初入陌生学科的同学会经常把注意力放在细枝末节上,往往是浪费了很多时间还未找到该学科的核心,同时缺乏对该学科的整体认识。
其实考研不一定要天天都埋头苦干或者从早到晚一直看书,关键的是复习效率。

It cannot be 1 unless the current situation which China has Four Highs and One Low is changed. The Four Highs and the One Low means a high infection rate, a high drug 2 rate, a high death rate, a high 3 of infection, and a low rate of decline changes.Experts say that China is one of the twenty-two countries in the world with the highest tuberculosis 4 . China ranks second in the world in the 5 number of the people who have TB. Over 500 million Chinese have been 6 to the TB bacillus, six million have active TB and two million are 7 carriers of the disease. Over two hundred and fifty thousand Chinese die each year from TB. This is twice as many as those who die 8 all of China’s oth er contagious diseases 9 .The rate of TB in the Chinese countryside is 2.4 times 10 in the city. In China, as in other countries, at lease half of the 11 , active TB cases, and deaths are in women. Children are the most 12 to infection of all. 13 statistics, the TB death rate among children aged 0-4 are 0.8 per 100,000 and 0.5 per 100,000.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are some choices marked A, B, Cand D. Y ou should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer SheetQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.The decline of traditional religion in the West has not removed the need for men and women to find a deeper meaning behind existence. Why is the world the way it is and how do we, as conscious individuals, fit into the great scheme?There is a growing feeling that science, especially what is known as the new physics, can provide answers where religion remains vague and faltering. Many people in search of a meaning to their lives are finding enlightenment in the revolutionary developments at the frontiers of science. Much to the bewilderment of professional scientists, quasi-religious cults are being formed around such unlikely topics as quantum physics, space-time relativity, black holes and the big bang.How can physics, with its reputation for cold precision and objective materialism, provide such fertile soil for the mystical? The truth is that the spirit of scientific inquiry has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past 50 years. The twin revolutions of the theory of relativity, with its space-warps and time-warps, and the quantum theory, which reveals the shadowy and unsubstantial nature of atoms, have demolished the classical image of a clockwork universe slavishly unfolding along a predetermined pathway. Replacing this sterile mechanism is a world full of shifting indeterminism and subtle interactions that have no counterpart in daily experience.To study the new physics is to embark on a journey of wonderment and paradox, to glimpse the universe in a novel perspective, in which subject and object, mind and matter, force and field, become intertwined. Even the creation of the universe itself has fallen within the province of scientific inquiry.The new cosmology provides, for the first time, a consistent picture of how all physical structures, including space and time, came to exist out of nothing. We are moving towards an understanding in which matter, force, order and creation are unified into a single descriptive theme.Many of us who work in fundamental physics are deeply impressed by the harmony and order which pervades the physical world. To me laws of the universe, from quarks to quasars, dovetail together so felicitously that the impression there is something behind it all seems overwhelming. The laws of physics are so remarkably clever they can surely only be a manifestation or genius.1.The author says people nowadays find that traditional religion is______.A. a form of reassuranceB. inadequate to their needsC. responding to scientific progressD. developing in strange ways2.Scientists find the new cults bewildering because they are_______A. too reactionaryB. based on false evidenceC. derived from inappropriate sourcesD. too subjective3. Which phrase in paragraph 3 suggests that the universe is like a machine?A. Cold precision and objective materialism.B. The shadowy and unsubstantial nature of atoms.C. Slavishly unfolding along a predetermined pathway.D. Shifting indeterminism and subtle interactions.4.The new physics is exciting because itA. offers a comprehensive explanation of the universeB. proves the existence of a ruling intelligenceC. incorporates the work of men of geniusD. makes scientific theories easier to understand5.The author of this passage is_______.A. a minister of religionB. a research scientistC. science fiction writerD. a journalistQuestions 6 to 16 are based on the following passage.Suddenly Lady Windermere looked eagerly round the room, and said, in her clear contralto voice, “where is my chiromantist?”“Y our what, Gladys?” exclaimed the Duchess, trying to remember what a chiromantist really was, and hoping it was not the same as a chiropodist.“My chiromantist, Duchess; I can’t live without him at present. I must certainly introduce him to you.”“Introduce him!”cried the Duchess. Y ou don’t mean to say he is here?” She began looking about for a small tortoiseshell fan and a very tattered lace shawl so as to be ready to go at a moment’s notice.“Of course he is here; 1 would not dream of giving a party without him. He tells me I have a pure psychic hand.”“Oh, I see!” said the Duchess, feeling very much reli eved. “He tells fortunes, I suppose?”“And misfortunes, too,” answered Lady Windermere. “Any amount of them. Next year, for instance, I am in great danger, both by land and sea, so I am going to live in a balloon, and draw up my dinner in a basket every evening. It is all written down on my little finger, or on the palm of my hand. I forgot which.”“But surely that is tempting Providence, Gladys.”“My dear Duchess, surely Providence can resist temptation by this time. Everyone shouldhave their hands told once a month, so as to know what not to do. Of course, one does it all the same, but it is so pleasant to be warned. Ah, here is Mr. Podgers! Now, Mr. Podgers, I want you to tell the Duchess of Paisley’s hand.”“Dear Gladys, I really don’t think it is quite right,” said the Duchess, feebly unbuttoning a rather soiled kid glove.“Nothing interesting ever is,”said Lady Windmere. “But I must introduce you. Duchess, this is Mr. Podgers, my pet chiromantist. Mr. Podgers, this is the Duchess of Paisley, and if you say that she has a larger mountain of the moon than I have, I will never believe you again.”“1 am sure, Gladys, there is nothing of the kind in my hand,” said the Duchess bravely.“Y our grace is quite right,” said Mr. Podgers, glancing at the little fat hand.“The mountain of the mo on is not developed. The line of life, however, is excellent. Y ou will live to a great age, Duchess, and be extremely happy. Ambition — very moderate, line of intellect not exaggerated, line of heart—”“Now, do be indiscreet, Mr. Podgers,” cried Lady Windermere.“Nothing would give me greater pleasure,” said Mr. Podgers, bowing, “if the Duchess ever had been, but I am sorry to say that I see great permanence of affection, combined with a strong sense of duty.”“Pray go on, Mr. Podgers,” said the Duchess, looking quite pleased.“Economy is not the least of your Grace’s virtues,”continued Mr. Podgers, and lady Windermere went off into fits of laughter.Economy is a very good thing,” remarked the Duchess complacently. When 1 married Paisley he had eleven castles, and not a single house fit to live in.”“And now he has twelve houses, and not a single castle,” cried Lady Windmere.”“you have told the Duchess’s character admirably,Mr. Podgers, and now you must tell Lady Flora’s.” In answer to a nod, a tall girl stepped awkwardly from behind the sofa and held out along, bony hand.“Ah, a pianist!”said Mr. Podgers. “V ery reserved, very honest, and with a great love of animals.”“Quite true!” exclaimed the Duchess, turning to Lady Windermere. “Flora keeps two dozen collie dogs at Macloskie, and would turn our town house into a menagerie if her father would let her.”“Well, that is just what I do with my house every Thursday evening,” cried Lady Windermere, laughing. “Only I like lions better than collie dogs, But Mr. Podgers must read some more hands for us. Come, Lady Marvel, show him yours.”But Lady Marvel entirely declined to have her past or her future exposed. In fact, many people seemed afraid to face the odd little man with his stereotyped smile and his bright, beady eyes; and when he told poor Lady Fermor right out before everyone that she did not care a bit for music, but was extremely fond of musicians, it was generally felt that chiromancy was a most dangerous science, and one that ought not to be encouraged, except in private.Lord Arthur Savile, however, who did not know anything about Lady Fermo r’s unfortunate story, was filled with curiosity to have his own hand read, and feeling somewhat shy about putting himself forward, crossed to where Lady Windermere was sitting and asked her if she thought Mr. Podgers would mind.“Of course he won’t mind,”said Lady Windermere. “That is what he is here for. All my lions,Lord Arthur, are performing lions, and jump through hoops whenever I ask them.”6. Lady Windermere’s statement that she “can’t live without”(line 6)her chiromantist is an example of________.A. witB. satireC. exaggerationD. generalization7. The Duchess wants to “be ready to go at a moment’s notice”(line10) because she________.A. is afraid of chiropodistsB. is tired of Lady WindermereC. thinks having her fortune told would be tempting ProvidenceD. does not want to meet Mr. Podgers8. The passage suggests that the Duchess wears a tattered shawl and soiled gloves because she______.A. likes to save moneyB. cannot afford to buy nicer onesC. cares little about appearanceD. prefer to buy nice things for her home9. Lady Windermere’s plan to live in a balloon and draw up her dinner in a basket indicates her______.A. desire to impress the DuchessB. inability to separate reality from fantasyC. whimsical attitude toward fortune-tellingD. respect for the accuracy of Mr. Podger’s fortunes10. Lady Windermere’s speech in lines21-24 shows that she ___________.A. likes to give advice to othersB. dislike knowing what is going to happen to herC. believes that Mr. Podgers has amazing and uncanny powersD. does not take either Providence or chiromancy very seriously.11. The Duchess says, “I really don’t think it is quite right” in line 26 because she ,A. has philosophical and moral objections to fortune-tellingB. thinks that trying to discern the future could be dangerousC. does not like to do what Lady Windermere tells her to doD. believes that Mr. Podgers is likely to predict bad events in her future12. Lady Windermere’s use of the phrase “my pet chiromantist” suggests that Lady WindermereA. provide for Mr. Rodgers’s needB. perceives Mr. Podgers’s devotion to herC. feels possessive toward Mr. PodgersD. likes to belittle Mr. Podgers in front of her friends13. By characterizing the Duchess’s line of intellect as “not exaggerated”, Mr. Podgers showshimself to be .A. tactfulB. disdainfulC. imaginativeD. suspicious14. The Duchess looks “quite pleased” because__________.A. her future is brighter than is Lady windermere’sB. her fear about tempting Providence have been allayedC. Mr. Podgers has not suggested any danger in her immediate futureD. Mr. Podgers has described her characteristics positively15. In addition to telling people’s fortunes, Mr. Podgers___________.A. describes their characteristicsB. describes their past endeavorsC. describes their present occupationD. encourages their unspoken plansQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.Extraordinary creative activity has been characterized as revolutionary, flying in the face of what is established and producing not what is acceptable but what will become accepted. According to this formulation, highly creative activity transcends the limits of an existing form and establishes a new principle of organization. However, the idea that extraordinary creativity transcends established limits is misleading when it is applied to the arts, even though it may be valid for the sciences. Differences between highly creative art and highly creative science arise in part from differences in their goals. For the sciences, a new theory is the goal and end result of the creative act. Innovative science produces new propositions in terms of which diverse phenomena can be related to one another in more coherent ways. Such phenomena as a brilliant diamond or a nesting bird are relegated to the role of data, serving as the means for formulating or testing a new theory. The goal of highly creative art is very different: the phenomenon itself becomes the direct product of the creative act. Shakespeare’s Hamlet is not a tract about the behavior of indecisive princes or the uses of political power, nor is Picasso’s painting Guernica primarily a propositional statement about the Spanish Civil War or the evils of fascism. What highly creative artistic activity produces is not a new generalization that transcends established limits, but rather an aesthetic particular. Aesthetic particulars produced by the highly creative artist extend or exploit, in an innovative way, the limits of an existing form, rather than transcend that form.This is not to deny that a highly creative artist sometimes establishes a new principle of organization in the history of an artistic field: the composer Monteverdi, who created music of the highest aesthetic value, comes to mind. More generally, however, whether or not a composition establishes a new principle in the history of music has little bearing on its aesthetic worth. Because they embody a new principle of organization, some musical works, such as the operas of the Florentine Camerata, are of signal historical importance, but few listeners or musicologists would include these among the great works of music. On the other hand, Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro is surely among the masterpieces of music even though its modest innovations are confined to extending existing means. It has been said of Beethoven that he toppled the rules and freed music from the stifling confines of convention. But a close study of his compositions reveals that Beethoven overturned no fundamental rules. Rather, he was an incomparable strategist who exploited limits — the rules, forms, and conventions that he inherited from predecessors such as Haydn and Mozart, Handel and Bach — in strikingly original ways.16. The author considers a new theory that coherently relates diverse phenomena to one another tobe the_____________.A. basis for reaffirming a well-established scientific formulationB. byproduct of an aesthetic experienceC. tool used by a scientist to discover a new particularD. result of highly creative scientific activity17. The passage supplies information for answering all of the following questions EXCEPT:A. Has unusual creative activity been characterized as revolutionary?B. Did Beethoven work within a musical tradition that also Included Handel and Bach?C. Is Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro an example of a creative work that transcended limits?D. Who besides Monteverdi wrote music that the author would consider to embody newprinciples of organization and to be of high aesthetic value?18. The author regards the idea that all highly creative artistic activity transcends limits with____.A. deep skepticismB. strong indignationC. marked indifferenceD. moderate amusement19. The author implies that an innovative scientific contribution is one that__________.A. is cited with high frequency in the publications of other scientistsB. is accepted immediately by the scientific communityC. does not relegate particulars to the role of dataD. introduces a new valid generalization20. Which of the following statements would most logically conclude the last paragraph of thepassage?A. Unlike Beethoven, however, even the greatest of modem composers, such as Stravinsky,did not transcend existing musical forms.B. In a similar fashion, existing musical forms were even further exploited by the nextgeneration of great European composers.C. Thus, many of the great composers displayed the same combination of talents exhibited byMonteverdi.D. By contrast, the view that creativity in the arts exploits but does not transcend limits issupported in the field of literature.Section B (10 points)Directions:Read the following passage carefully and give answers to the five questions. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.By the mid century there emerged a trend in writing that favored a new approach to constructing the novel that abandoned many of the time-honored traditions of form. In deed, there has been debate about whether many of the works of the times should rightly be considered novels at all. Although not all writers of the period pursued experimental methods, two of them, William Burroughs and Henry Miller, served as exemplary figures.William Burroughs published journals depicting his travels through South America and North Africa. He was heavily influenced by his encounter with foreign languages and associations with strange customs. The impact of his experiences on his writing led to a uniquely detached style. Often it is difficult to determine who is telling the stories, or where the characters have come from. In his most celebrated work Naked Lunch, Burroughs is said to have physically cut up the manuscript and pasted it back together, to further disturb the conventional notion of narration. Although these writing techniques did not boost initial sales of his works, American academia accepts him as an important practitioner of literary theory.Henry Miller wrote about his personal life in a depth that previous authors had avoided. In order to better expose compulsive desires, he used very graphic language to describe the details of his intimate relationships. His books Tropic of Capricorn and Tropic of Cancer were banned in some states when they were first published. Although there are disagreements about Miller’s moral positions, he is acknowledged as an important contributor to mid-twentieth century American fiction.21. What is the main topic of this passage?22. What did the passage preceding this one probably discuss?23. What can we assume about Burroughs' earlier works?24. What is the most difficult aspect of reading the book Naked Lunch?25. What can we infer about the works of the two men?Part IV T ranslation (30 points)Section A E-C translation (15 points)Directions: Read the following passage carefully and translate it into good Chinese. Write your translation on the answer sheet.Translating versus interpretingSome problems arise because people think of translating and interpreting as being two entirely different kinds of operations, one written and the other spoken. But both are part of the same act of producing in a receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source text, whether spoken or written. The significant differences are the speed w ith which an interpreter must make decisions, the enormous tension to keep up with the rapid flow of spoken language, the background knowledge necessary for instant recall, and the willingness to produce something that may not be “perfect.” In fact, no interpretation is ever perfect.Interpreting can, however, be an important plus for a translator, because it immediately forces him or her to be up to date with respect to rapid developments within any discipline, and it highlights the fact that listening to one language and speaking in another is a largely automatic process, something that some translators have failed to recognize.At the former Maurice Thorez Institute of foreign languages in Moscow, persons who had already demonstrated exceptional ability as translators could also be tested for thief possible ability to act as professional interpreters. The test consisted of an assigned topic, one minute to prepare , an done minute to speak. The reason for this type of testing was the conviction that interpreting, whether consecutive or simultaneous, depended more on an ability to organize information than on determining meaning.Section B C-E Translation (15 points)Directions: Read the following passage carefully and translate it into good English. Write your translation on the answer sheet.由小学到中学,所修习的无非是一些晋通的基本知识。

Illustrate each of the following terms briefly. (45 points)1. prescriptive linguistics【答案】Prescriptive linguistics: the linguistics that tries to lay down rules for “correct” behaviors. It seeks to tell people how language ought to be used by those who wish to use it.2. Displacement【答案】Displacement: Language can be used to refer to what is present, what is absent, what happens at present, what happened in the past, what will happen in the future or what happens in a far-away place. This property of language enables language users to overcome the barriers caused by time and place. For example, we can talk about Sapir, who is already dead; we can even talk about next week, which is in the future.3.IPA【答案】IPA: the abbreviation of International Phonetic Alphabet, which is devised by the International Phonetic Association in 1888. IPA is a set of symbols which can be used to represent the phones and phonemes of natural languages.4.suprasegmental【答案】Suprasegmental: aspects of speech that involve more than single sound segments. The principle Suprasegmental features are syllable, stress, tone, and intonation.5.blendings【答案】Blending is a process in which two words are blended by joining the initial part of the first word and the final part of the second word, or byjoining the initial parts of the two words. For example, the word “smog” is blended from “smoke” and “fog”.6.denotation【答案】Denotation: the core sense of a word or a phrase that relates it to phenomena in the real world. In the case of linguistic signs, the denotative meaning is what the dictionary attempts to provide. It is the literal meaning of a word, the dictionary meaning, opposite to connotation.7.hyponymy【答案】Hyponymy. It refers to the sense relationship between a more general, more inclusive and a more specific word. The word which is more general in meaning is called the superordinate, and the more specific words are called its hyponyms. For example, the hyponymy relationship could be established between “animal” and “rabbit”.8.stem【答案】A stem is any morpheme or combination of morphemes to which an inflectional affix can be added. For example, “friend-” in friends, and “friendship-” in friendships are both stems. The former shows that a stem can be equivalent to a root, whereas the latter shows that a stem may contain a root and a derivational affix.9.inflectional morpheme【答案】Inflectional morpheme: It is also called inflectional affixes, which attaches to the end of words Inflectional affixes and only add a minute or delicate grammatical meaning to the stem. The plural suffix is a typical example of this kind.10.back-formation【答案】It refers to an abnormal type of word-formation where a shorter word is derived by deleting an imagined affix from a longer form already in the language. For example, from “editor” the word “edit” was generated.11.c-command【答案】C-command: A c-commands B if and only if: 1) A does not dominate B and B does not dominate A; 2) The first branching dominating A also dominates B.12.Sapir-Whorf hypothesis【答案】Sapir-Whorf hypothesis consists of two parts: linguistic determinism and linguistic relativity. Linguistic determinism refers to the notion that a language determines certain nonlinguistic cognitive processes. Different languages offer people different ways of expressing around, they think and speak differently. Linguistic relativity refers to the claim that the cognitive processes that are determined are different for different languages. Thus, speakers of different languages are said to think in different ways. The hypothesis is now interpreted mainly in two different ways: a strong version and a weak one. The strong version believes that the language patterns determine people’s thinking and behavior; the weak one holds that the former influence the later. So far, many researches and experiments conducted provide support to the weak version.13.context of situation【答案】Context of situation: It refers to the linguistic and situational environment in which a word, utterance or text occurs. The meaning of utterances, etc., is determined not only by the literal meaning of the words used but also by the context or situation in which they occur.14.corpus linguistics【答案】Corpus linguistics: an approach to investigating language structure and use through the analysis of large databases to real language examples stored on computer. Issues amenable to corpus linguistics include the meanings of words across registers, the distribution and function of grammatical forms and categories, the investigation of lexico-grammatical associations, and issues in language acquisition and development. 15.CALL【答案】CALL: It is the abbreviation of computer-assisted language learning, which refers to the use of a computer in the teaching or learning of a second or foreign language. In this kind of CALL programs, the computer leads the student through a learning task step-by-step, asking questions to check comprehension. Depending on the student’s response, the computer gives the student further practice or progresses to new material.II. Name each of the following IPA symbols. (10 points)1.[]【答案】voiceless postalveolar fricative2.[j]【答案】palatal approximant3.【答案】glottal plosive4.[w]【答案】bilabial approximant5.[x]【答案】voiceless velar fricative6.[υ]【答案】high back lax rounded vowel7.[æ]【答案】low front lax unrounded vowel8.[p]【答案】voiceless bilabial plosive9.【答案】voiceless aspirated affricate10.[d]【答案】voiced post-alveolar affricateIII. Read each of the following statements carefully and decide whether it is true or false. (10 points)1.Odgen and Richards argue that the relation between a word and a thing it refers to is not direct.【答案】T【解析】本题考查语义三角理论。

南开大学外国语学院英语语言文学专业考研心得
我本科就读于天津的一所高校,于20XX年1月19日参加了南开大学外国语学院英语语言文学专业的研究生入学考试,取得了375分的初试成绩。
选择南开大学,是我在权衡了众多学校后做出的决定。
首先,我的本科学校虽然是985院校,但是以工科见长,文科相对较弱,整体实力在全国范围内并不突出。
因此考上外或者北外稍有困难,而报考同等档次的院校胜算较大。
其次,我们本科期间学习的是科技英语方向,英美文学和语言学这两科考研必考科目只是沾了个皮毛,连入门都算不上。
我的二外选择的是日语,到大三结束的时候,只刚刚学完了标日初级上册,离考研水平还差得很远。
大多数学校的英语专业指定的参考书目太多,仅日语一科就要求学完初级上下册和中级上下册。
我预计自己没有精力自学这么多日语课程,因此只能选择对专业课书目和日语书目要求较少的学校。
再次,我的本科学校和南开大学仅一墙之隔,方便过去听课和打听消息。
两所学校是兄弟院校,复试时也会稍有优势。
基于以上考虑,我于20XX年3月,即大三下半学期决定报考南开大学的英语语言文学专业,但是一直到了九月份,才发现自己对语言学比较感兴趣,所以最后选择了语言学方向。
我从20XX年4月初开始接触考研书目,但是仅限于在课余时间随意地翻阅。
上半年的心理压力很大,总是潜意识地想到需要看的书很多,总怕自己看不完,恨不得天天看考研的书。
但是另一方面,学校还有繁重的课业负担和数不胜数的杂事,每天能用在考研准备上的时间非常有限。
就这样,内心的焦虑伴随着我度过了整个大三下半学期。
我趁着还有课,可以见到任课老师,抓紧时间先准备了与所学课程有关的考研科目,(例如二外,英美文学),每次下课以后都去找老师把这一段时间积攒的问题一次性解决完。
上半年的学习时间虽然有限,但是我尽了最大可能完成了《英国文学简史》、初级日语和语言学的学习。
8月份我参加了为期10天的政治强化班,同时加快了专业课的学习速度,从九月份开学开始正式进入考研备考状态。
平时除了上课之外,我其余时间都在自习室学习,每天的学习时间在12到15个小时。

南开大学2004年研究生入学考试翻译试题及答案详解
南开大学2004年研究生入学考试翻译试题及答案详解考试科目:翻译 专业:英语语言文学Section I. Translation PracticeIn this section of the test, you will have an opportunity to demonstrate your ability to translate between English and Chinese. There are two parts to this section, including English-Chinese translation and Chinese-English translation. Write all your answers on the answer sheet. If any answers are found on the test paper, it will be considered cheating, and your scores will he canceled.Part ADirections:In Part A, you will see 4 short English passages. Road them carefully and then translate them into Chinese. Both faithfulness and smoothness will be considered in evaluating your performance.Passage I (10%)Self-respect and a clear conscience are powerful components of integrity and are the basis for enriching your relationships with others.Integrity means you do what you do because it’s right and not just fashionable or politically correct. A life of principle, of not succumbing to the seductive sirens of an easy morality, will always win the day. It will take you forward into the 21st century without having to check your tracks in a rearview mirror.Passage 2 (10%)The simple perception of natural forms is a delight. The influence of the forms and actions in nature is so needful to man, that, in its lowest functions, it seems to lie on the confines of commodity and beauty. To the body and mind which have been cramped by noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone. The tradesman, the attorney comes out of the din and craft of the street and sees the sky and the woods, and is a man again. In their eternal calm, he finds himself. The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.Passage 3 (20%)Autumn SunsetThe sun sets on some retired meadow, where no house is visible, with all the glory and splendour that it lavishes on cities, and, perchance, as it has never set before, —where there is but a solitary marsh-hawk to have his wings gilded by it, or only a musquash looks out from his cabin, and there is some little black-veined brook in the midst of the marsh, just beginning to meander, winding slowly round a decaying stump. We walked in so pure and bright a light, gilding the withered grass and leaves, so softly and serenely bright, I thought I had never bathed in such a golden flood, without a ripple or a murmur to it. The west side of every wood and rising ground gleamed like a boundary of Elysium, and the sun on our backs seemed like a gentle herdsman driving us home at evening.So we saunter toward the Holy Land, till one day the sun shall shine more brightly than ever he has done, shall perchance shine into our minds and hems, and light up our whole lives with a great awakening light, as warm and serene and golden as on a bank-side in autumn.Notes:1. musquash: 麝鼠2. Elysium: 极乐世界Passage 4 (20%)Birds and DeathThe bird, however hard the frost may be, flies briskly to his customary roosting-place, and, with beak tucked into his wing, falls asleep. He has no apprehensions; only the hot blood grows colder and colder, the pulse feebler as he sleeps, and at midnight, or in the early morning, he drops from his perch—dead.Yesterday he lived and moved, responsive to a thousand external influences, reflecting earth and sky in his small brilliant brain as in a looking-glass; also he had a various language, the inherited knowledge of his race, and the faculty of flight, by means of which he could shoot, meteor-like, across the sky, and pass swiftly from place to place; and with it such perfect control over all his organs, such marvellous certitude in all his motions, as to be able to drop himself plumb down from the tallest tree-top, or out of the void air, on to a slender spray, and scarcely cause its leaves to tremble. Now, on this morning, he lies stiff and motionless; if you were to take him up and drop him from your hand, he would fall to the ground like a stone or a lump of clay—so easy and swift is the passage from life to death in wild nature! But he was never miserable.Part BDirections:In Part B, you will see 2 short Chinese passages. Read them carefully and then translate them into English. Both faithfulness and smoothness will be considered in evaluating your performance.Passage l (15%)每逢佳节,亲朋相聚。

2011年南开大学英语专业(英美文学)真题试卷(总分30,考试时间90分钟)1. 名词解释1. assonance2. transcendentalism3. medieval romances in England4. foot5. humanism2. 分析题Questions 1 to 6 are based on the following poem by Emily Dickinson. Because I Could not Stop for Death Because I could not stop for Death— He kindly stopped for me— The Carriage held but just Ourselves— And Immortality.We slowly drove—He knew no haste, And I had put away My labor, and my leisure too, For his Civility—We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess—in the Ring— We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain— We passed the Setting Sun—Or rather, He passed Us— The Dews drew quivering and chill— For only Gossamer, my Gown—My tippet—only tulleWe paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground— The Roof was scarcely visible—The Cornice—in a GroundSince then—" tis centuries—and yet Feels shorter than the Day I first surmised the horses" heads Were toward Eternity.1. Why did Death stop for me?2. Why couldn"t I stop for Death?3. What did the Death"s carriage hold?4. What three things did the speaker and Death pass?5. What is the "House" in the ground in Stanza 5? Why do the centuries seem shorter than the Day?6. What is the theme of the poem?Questions 7 to 10 are based on the letter written by Samuel Johnson to the Earl of Chesterfield.To the Right Honorable the Earl of Chesterfield February 7, 1755 My Lord:I have been lately informed by the proprietor of the World, that two papers, in which my Dictionary is recommended to the public, were written by your Lordship. To be so distinguished is an honor which, being very little accustomed to favors from the great, I know not well how to receive, or in what terms to acknowledge.When, upon some slight encouragement, I first visited your Lordship, I was overpowered, like the rest of mankind, by the enchantment of your address; and could not forbear to wish that I might boast myself le vainqueur du vainqueur de la terre; that I might obtain that regard for which I saw the world contending; but I found my attendance so little encouraged thatneither pride nor modesty would suffer me to continue it. When I had once addressed your Lordship in public, I had exhausted all the art of pleasing which a retired and uncourtly scholar can possess. I had done all that I could; and no man is well pleased to have his all neglected, be it ever so little.Seven years, my Lord, have now passed since I waited in your outward rooms, or was repulsed from your door, during which time I have been pushing on my work through difficulties of which it is useless to complain, and have brought it, at last, to the verge of publication without one act of assistance, one word of encouragement, or one smile of favor. Such treatment I did not expect, for I never had a patron before.The shepherd in Virgil grew at last acquainted with love, and found him a native of the rocks.Is not a patron, my Lord, one who looks with unconcern on a man struggling for life in the water, and, when he has reached ground, encumbers him with help? The notice which you have been pleased to take of my labors, had it been early, had been kind; but it has been delayed till I am indifferent, and cannot enjoy it; till I am solitary, and cannot impart it; till I am known, and do not want it. I hope it is no very cynical asperity not to confess obligations where no benefit has been received, or to be unwilling that the public should consider me as owing that to a patron, which Providence has enabled me to do for myself.Having carried on my work thus far with so little obligation to any favorer of learning, I shall not be disappointed though I should conclude it, if less be possible, with less; for I have been long wakened from that dream of hope, in which I once boasted myself with so much exultation, my Lord,Your Lordship"s most humble, most obedient servant, Sam. Johnson7. Why did Johnson first visit Lord Chesterfield? What was Johnson"s impression of Lord Chesterfield and how was he treated?8. How does Johnson define a patron?9. In the letter, Johnson wrote "The shepherd in Virgil grew at last acquainted with love, and found him a native of the rocks. " What does the sentence mean?10. How does Johnson feel about the notice Lord Chesterfield had taken of his work after he had finished his Dictionary? What is the real purpose of Johnson"s letter?。
2009年南开大学英语专业英美文学真题试卷_真题-无答案
2009年南开大学英语专业(英美文学)真题试卷(总分30,考试时间90分钟)3. 名词解释1. Metaphysical poetry2. Denotation and connotation3. Ezra Pound and The Cantos4. British neoclassicism5. Imagism8. 分析题Questions 1 to 3 are based on the following passage of The Canterbury Tales. From The Canterbury Tales Speaking of his equipment, he(the knight)possessed Fine horses, but he was not gaily dressed. He wore a fustian tunic stained and dark With smudges where his armor had left mark.1. 1. What does the fact that the knight owns fine horses indicate?2. 2. What does the clothes he wears indicate?3. 3. What does Geoffrey Chaucer want to show through these details?4. Question 4 is based on the following passage of The Canterbury Tales. From The Canterbury Tales No morsel from her lips did she(the nun)let fall, Nor dipped her fingers in the sauce too deep And she would wipe her upper lip so clean That not a trace of grease was to be seen Upon the cup when she had drunk.4. What does the narrator think of the nun? Why do you think so?Questions 5 to 10 are based on the following passage. The stars awaken a certain reverence, because though always present, they are inaccessible; but all natural objects make a kindred impression when the mind is open to their influence. Nature never wears a mean appearance. Neither does the wisest man extort her secret nor lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection. Nature never became a toy to a wise spirit. The flowers, the animals , the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as much as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhood. When we speak of nature in this manner, we have a distinct but most poetical sense in the mind. We mean the integrity of impression made by manifold natural objects. It is this which distinguishes the stick of timber of the wood-cutter from the tree of the poet. The charming landscape which I saw this morning is indubitably made up of some twenty or thirty farms. Miller owns this field, Locke that, and Manning the woodland beyond. But none of them owns the landscape. There is a property in the horizon which no man has but he whose eye can integrate all the parts, that is, the poet. This is the best part of these men" s farms, yet to this theirwarranty-deeds give no title. … Yet it is certain that the power to produce this delight, does not reside in nature, but in man, or in a harmony of both. It is necessary to use these pleasures with great temperance. For, nature is not always tricked in holiday attire, but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs is overspread with melancholy today. Nature always wears the colors of the spirit. To a man laboring under calamity, the heat of his own fire hath sadness in it. Then there is a kind of contempt of the landscape felt by him who has just lost by death a dear friend. The sky is less grand as it shuts down over less worth in the population.5. 5. According to paragraph 1, why does the author believe the star awaken a reverence in people?6. 6. What does the sentence "Nature never became a toy to the wise spirit" mean?7. 7. What does the author imply when he talks about the difference between farms and landscapes?8. 8. What do you think is the difference between the meaning the author or a poet finds in nature and the meaning a woodcutter, a botanist, a geographer or an engineer finds in nature?9. 9. Where does the author believe the power to produce a delight in **es from according paragraph 3?10. 10. What does the phrase "the color of the spirit"(line 5 in paragraph 3)mean?。

Selection One
Uncle Tom’s Cabin (Harriet Beecher Stowe)
A Slave Warehouse! Perhaps some of my readers conjure up horrible visions of such a place. They fancy some foul, obscure den, some horrible Tartarus “informis, ingens, cui lumen ademptum.” But no, innocent friend! In these days men have learned the art of sinning expertly and genteelly, so as not to shock the eyes and senses of respectable society. Human property is high in the market; and is therefore well fed, well cleaned, tended and looked after, that it may come to sale sleek, and strong, and shining. A slave warehouse in New Orleans is a house externally not much unlike many others, kept with neatness; and where every day you may see arranged, under a sort of shed along the outside, rows of men and women, who stand there as a sign of the property sold within.
