Whoever has had the luck to experience one can alone judge of my situation. The rain pattered against the casements; the bells tolled for church with a melancholy sound. I went to the windows in quest of something to amuse the eye; but it seemed as if I had been placed completely out of the reach of all amusement. The windows of my bed-room looked out among tiled roofs and stacks of chimneys, while those of my sitting-room commanded a full view of the stable yard. I know of nothing more calculated to make a man sick of this world than a stable yard on a rainy day. The place was littered with wet straw that had been kicked about by travelers and stable-boys. In one corner was a stagnant pool of water, surrounding an island of muck; there were several half-drowned fowls crowded together under a cart, among which was miserable, crest-fallen cock, drenched out of all life and spirit; his drooping tail matted, as it were, into a single feather, along which the water trickled from his back; near the cart was a half-dozing cow, chewing her cud, and standing patiently to be rained on, with wreaths of vapor rising from her reeking hide; a wall-eyed horse, tired of the loneliness of the stable, was poking his spectral head out of a window, with the rain dripping on it from the eaves; an unhappy cur, chained to a dog-house hard by, uttered something every now and then between a barkand a yelp; a drab of a kitchen wench tramped backwards and forwards through the yard in patterns, looking as sulky as the weather itself; everything, in short, was comfortless and forlorn, excepting a crew of hardened ducks, assembled like boon companions round a puddle and making a riotous noise over their liquor. By Washington Irving。

But, today, this vital British industry is more in peril than ever before. On almost all the major sea routes of the world, the British fleet risks being elbowed out by stiff foreign competition.5.“……they vanish from a world where they were of no consequence; where they achieved nothing; where they werea mistake and a failure and foolishness; where they have left no sign that they had existed--- a world which will lament them a day and forget them forever.”6.Smaller shipping lines do not have the resources to diversify.

Reading comprehension: (15%)TEXT A THE PLEDGEThe old woman glanced for a moment at what he had brought to pawn, but at once stared in the eyes of her uninvited visitor. She looked intently, maliciously and mistrustfully.A minute passed; he even fancied something like a sneer in her eyes, as though she had already guessed everything. He felt that he was losing his head, the he was almost frightened, so frightened that if she were to look like that and not say a word for another half minute, he thought he would have run away from her."Why do you look at me as though you did not know me?" he said suddenly, also with malice. "Take it if you like, if not I'll go elsewhere, I am in a hurry."He had not even thought of saying this, but it was suddenly of itself. The old woman recovered herself, and her visitor's resolute tone evidently restored her confidence."But why, my good sir, all of a minute... What is it?" she asked, looking at the pledge."The silver cigarette case; I spoke of it last time, you know."She held out her hand."But how pale you are, to be sure... and your hands are trembling too? Have you been bathing, or what?""Fever," he answered abruptly. "You can't help getting pale... if you've nothing to eat," he added, with difficulty articulating the words.His strength was failing him again. But his answer sounded like the truth; the old woman took the pledge."What is it?" she asked once more, scanning Raskolnikov intently and weighing the pledge in her hand."A thing... cigarette case...Silver... Lookat it.""It does not seem somehow like silver...How he had wrapped it up!"Try to untie the string and turning to the window, to the light (all her windows were shut, in spite of the stifling heat), she left him altogether for some seconds and stood with her back to him. He unbuttoned his coat and freed the axe from the noose, but did not yet take it out altogether, simply holding it in his right hand under the coat. His hands were fearfully weak, he felt them every moment growing more numb and more wooden. He was afraid he would let the axe slip and fall... A sudden giddiness came over him.1. "... she had already guessed everything" means that the old woman ________A. was sure that he had stolen something.B. was aware that he was sick unto death.C. was sure that he was up to somethingevil.D. knew what he had brought her.2. That Raskolnikov had probably done some careful planning, prior to his commission of a crime is indicated by which of the following statements?A. "She looked intently, maliciously andmistrustfully."B. "Why do you look at me as though youdid not know me?"C. "Have you been bathing, or what?"D. "How he has wrapped it up!"3. The word "pledge" as used here in the passage means ________A. something given as security for a loanB. a promise to be loyal.C. a written agreement.D. anything that is stolen4. The fact that "all her windows were shut" is probably indicative of ________A. the old woman's poor physicalcondition.B. the old woman's caution.C. Raskolnikov's cunning.D. nothing more than a mere coincidence.5. The mood of the passage is one ofA. thoughtfulnessB. disgustC. nonchalance.D. anxietyTEXT B WIT AND HUMORI am not sure that I can draw an exact line between wit and humor (perhaps the distinction is so subtle that only those persons can decide who have long white beards); but even an ignorant person may express an opinion in this matter.I am quite positive that humor is the more comfortable and lovable quality, for humorous persons, if their gift is genuine and not a mere shine upon the surface, are always agreeable companions. They have pleasant mouths turned up at the corners, to which the greatMaster of Marionettes has fixed the strings and he holds them in his nimblest fingers to twitch them at the slightest jest. But the mouth of a merely witty man is hard and sour. Nor is the flash from a witty man always comforting, but a humorous man radiates a general pleasure.I admire wit, but I have no real liking for it; it has been too often employed against me, whereas humor is always an ally: it never points an impertinent finger into my defects. A wit's tongue, however, is as sharp as a donkey's stick ___ I may gallop the faster for its prodding, but the touch behind is too persuasive for any comfort.Wit is a lean creature with a sharp inquiring nose, whereas humor has a kindly eye and a comfortable girth. Wit has a better voice in a solo, but humor comes into the chorus best.Wit keeps the season's fashions and is precise in the phrases and judgements of the day, but humor is concerned with homelyeternal things.6.

Estimates of costsD. Large or small repairsTEXT EWherever a dramatic author is asked to discuss "the mission of the playwright", there is a great temptation for him to become pretentious. Instead of being just a hardworking writer, he suddenly becomes a man with a mission. For a moment this makes him feel quite important and he begins to think about his mission: to hold up the mirror to nature, to interpret a generation to itself, to question outmoded conventions, to protest, to extol, to criticize--- and so on through the cliches.Ask a hundred playwrights what they see as their mission and you will get a hundred different answers. Playwriting, like any other kind of writing, is a highly personal matter. The dramatist writes out of a personal need to express himself on some facet of his world--- on social abuse, personal morality, the need for love and understanding, loneliness, or whatever. None of these is better than anyother, only different. Nor is the playwright any less worthy who simply sets out to entertain his audience, to amuse it, to make it laugh.The mission of the playwright, then, is to look into his heart and write, to write of whatever concerns him at the moment, to write with passion and conviction. Of course, the measure of the man will be the measure of his plays. A man cannot express more than is in him, though often, to his regret, he expresses less because of almost the inevitable failure to realize his vision fully.Of course, the writer whose heart beats in a too special way, whose interests and concerns are esoteric, will probably not be a good playwright because---to get back to the cliches, as we must---a writer does reflect nature, does interpret his generation to itself; and if he and his concerns are far removed from his generation, an audience will find no recognition in his work and therefore no pleasure, no enlightenment.13. If a playwright neither reflects nature nor interprets his generation to itself, he_________A. may not be understood by his audience.B. will become successful.C. will not write of whatever concerns him.D. cannot define his "mission".14. A playwright _________A. usually expresses more than what is inhim.B. usually realizes his vision fullyC. can always express more than what isin him.D. often expresses less than what is inhim.15. "To hold the mirror up to nature" "to interpret a generation to itself," these are_________A. examples of cliches used byplaywrights.B. what playwrights conceive to be theirmission.C. the only real missions of the playwright.D. both A and B.Notes:extol --- to praise very highlyesoteric --- limitedⅦ.

As it is they are like a hippopotamus blundering in and out of a pets’ tea party-------simile58. Bewildered, they grope and mess around because they have fallen between two stools, the old harsh discipline having vanished and the essential new self-discipline either not understood or thought to be out of reach -----metaphor59. Englishness is still with us. But it needs reinforcement, extra nourishment, especially now when our public life seems ready to starve it. -------Metaphor60. The Frick Museum, but closed.英译汉1.To recover from our disease of limitlessness, we will have to give up the idea that we have a right to be godlike animals, that we are potentially omniscient and omnipotent, ready to discover “the secret of the universe”. We will have to start over, with a different and much older premise: the naturalness and, for creatures of limited intellegence, the necessity of limits. We must learn again to ask how we can make the most of what we are, what we have, what we have been given. If we always have a theoretically better substitute available from somebody or some place else, we will never make the most of anything. It is hard to make the most of one life. If we each had two lives, we would not make much of either. Or as one of my best teachers said of people in general: “They’ll never be worth a damn as long as they’ve got two choices.”要从无限制的疾病中恢复，我们必须摒弃这样的想法：我们有权成为神一般的动物，我们可能是无所不知、无所不能的，我们随时准备好去发现“宇宙的奥秘”。
