They use the term "rationality" in the traditionaleconomic sense that assume that consumers behave rationally when they (1)______ carefully consider all alternatives and choose those that give them the greatestutility (i.e. satisfaction) in a marketed context. The term "rationality" (2)______ implies that the consumer selects goods based on totally objective criteria,such as size, weight, price, and so on. "Emotional" motives imply theselection of goods according to impersonal or subjective criteria--the desire for (3)______ individuality, pride, fear, affection or status.The assumption underlying this distinction is that subjective oremotional criteria do not maximize satisfaction; therefore, it is reasonable to (4)______ assume that consumers always attempt to select alternatives that, in theirview, serve to minimize satisfaction. Obviously, the assessment of satisfaction (5)______is a very personal process, based on the individual's own needs as wellas on past behavior, social, and learning experiences. What may appear as (6)______ irrational to an outside observer may be perfect rational within the context (7)______of the consumer's own psychological field. If behavior did not appear rationalto the person who undertakes at the time that it is undertaken, obviously (8)______he or she would not do it. Therefore the distinction between rational andemotional motives does not appear to be warranted.Some researchers go so far as to suggest that emphasis of "needs" (9)______ obscures the rational, or conscious, nature of most consumer motivation. Theyclaim that consumers act consciously to maximize their gains and minimizetheir losses; that they act on not from subconscious drives but from rational (10)______ preferences.IV. Reading comprehension (30%)A. Multiple ChoicePassage 1RUSSIA’S N EW REVOLUTION IN CONSERV A TIONWhen naturalist Sergei Smirenski set out to create Russia’s first private nature reserve since the Bolshevik revolution, he knew that the greatest obstacle would be overcoming bureaucratic resistance.The Moscow State University professor has charted a steep uphill course through a variety of foes, from local wildlife service officials who covet his funding to government officials who saw move value in development than conservation. But with incredible dedication, and the support of a wide range of international donors from Japan to the United States, the Murovyovka Nature Park has finally come into being.Founded at a small ceremony last summer, the private reserve covers 11,000 acres of pristine wetlands along the banks of the Amur River in the Russia Far East. Here, amid forests and marshes encompassing a variety of microhabitats, nest some of the world’s rarest birds—tall, elegant cranes whose numbers are counted in the mere hundreds.The creation of the park marks a new approach to nature conservation in Russia, one that combines traditional methods of protection with an attempt to adapt to the changing economic and political circumstances of the new Russia.“There must be a thousand ways to save a wetland. It is time fo r vision and risk, and also hard practicality,” wrote Jim Harris, deputy director of the International Crane Foundation, a Wisconsin-based organization dedicated to the study and preservation of cranes, which has been a major supporter of the Murovyovka project.Dr. Smirenski’s vision has been eminently down to earth. At every step, he has tried to involve local officials, businessmen and collective farms in the project, giving them a practical, economic stake in its success. And with international support, he is trying to introduce new methods of organize farming that will be more compatible with preserving the wetlands.1. The Murovyovka Nature Reserve came into being because of[A] Russian government officials. [B] the International Crane Foundation.[C] the determination of one man. [D] an unrealistic dream.2. If one “charts a steep uphill course” (paragraph 2), one[A] expects an arduous journey. [B] maps out a mountain trip.[C] assumes that life will be uneventful. [D] sets himself a difficult goal.3. The preserved “pristine wetlands” mentioned in paragraph 3 are[A] unspoiled. [B] precious. [C] immaculate. [D] uncontaminated.4. The passage states that the Nature Reserve is[A] an arid, uninhabited area. [B] the only reserve in Russia.[C] home to many different birds. [D] economically beneficial to local inhabitants.5. The passage implies that the preservation of wetlands[A] can only be accomplished with traditional methods.[B] requires imagination, daring and pragmatism.[C] is usually a popular concern of politicians.[D] limits an area’s development.Passage 2THE PEARL OF ORR’S ISLANDChapter IVThe sea lay like an unbroken mirror all around the pine-girl, lonely shores of Orr’s Island. Tall, kingly spruces wore their regal crowns of cones high in air, sparkling with diamonds of clear exuded gum; vast old hemlocks of primeval growth stood darkling in their forest shadows, their branches hung with long hoary moss; while feathery larches, turned to brilliant gold by autumn frosts, lighted up the darker shadows of the evergreens. It was one of those hazy, calm, dissolving days of Indian summer, when everything is so quiet that the faintest kiss of the wave on the beach can be heard, and white clouds seem to faint into the bluer of the sky, and soft swathing bands of violet vapor make all earth look dreamy, and give to the sharp, clear-cut outlines of the northern landscape all those mysteries of light and shade which impart such tenderness to Italian scenery.The funeral was over,—the tread of many feet, bearing the heavy burden of two broken lives, had been to the lonely graveyard, and had come back again, —each footstep lighter and more unconstrained as each one went his way from the great old tragedy of Death to the common cheerful walks of Life.The solemn black clock stood swaying with its eternal “tick-tock, tick-tock,” in the kitchen of the brown house on Orr’s Island. There was there that sense of a stillness that can be felt, —such as settles down on a dwelling when any of its inmates have passed through its doors for the last time, to go whence they shall not return. The best room was shut up and darkened, with only so much light as could fall through a little heart-shaped hole in the window-shutter,—for except on solemn visits, or prayer-meetings, or weddings, or funerals, that room formed no part of the daily family scenery.The kitchen was clean and ample, with a great open fireplace and wide stone hearth, and oven on one side, and rows of old-fashioned splint-bottomed chairs against the wall. A table scoured to snowy whiteness, and a little work-stand whereon lay the Bible, the Missionary Herald, and the Weekly Christian Mirror, before named, formed the principal furniture. One feature, however, must not be forgotten,—a great sea-chest, which had been the companion of Zephaniah through all the countries of the earth. Old, and battered, and unsightly it looked, yet report said that there was good store within of that which men for the most part respect more than anything else; and, indeed, it proved often when a deed of grace was to be done—when a woman was suddenly made a widow in a coast gale, or a fishing-smack was run down in the fogs off the banks, leaving in some neighboring cottage a family of orphans,—in all such cases, the opening of this sea-chest was an event of good men to the bereaved; for Zephaniah had a large heart and a large hand, and was apt to take it out full of silver dollars when once it went in. So the ark of the covenant could not have been looked on with more reverence than the neighbors usually showed to Captain Pennel’s sea-chest.6. Stowe describes Orr’s Island in a manner.[A] emotionally appealing, imaginative [B] rational, logically precise[C] factually detailed, objective [D] vague, uncertain7. According to the passage, the “best room”[A] has its many windows boarded up.[B] has had the furniture removed.[C] is used only on formal and ceremonious occasions.[D] is the busiest room in the house.8. From the description of the kitchen we can infer that the house belongs to people who[A] never have guests. [B] like modern appliances.[C] are probably religious. [D] dislike housework.9. The passage implies that[A] few people attended the funeral. [B] fishing is a secure vocation.[C] the island is densely populated. [D] the house belonged to the deceased.10. From the description of Zephaniah we can tell that he[A] was physically a very big man. [B] preferred the lonely life of a sailor.[C] always stayed at home. [D] was frugal and saved a lot of money.B. Read the following passage and answer the questions. Your answers should be given in English. Be brief and straight to the point. (20%)Small Kicks in SuperlandI often go to the supermarket for the pure fun of it, and I suspect a lot of people do too. The supermarket fills some of the same needs the neighborhood saloon used to satisfy. There you can mix with neighbors when you are lonely, or feeling claustrophobic (患幽闭恐怖症的) with family, or when you simply feel the urge to get out and be part of the busy, interesting world.As in the old neighborhood saloon, something is being sold, and this helps clothe the visit inwholesome material purpose. The national character tends to fear acts performed solely for pleasure; even our sexual hedonists（享乐主义者）usually justify themselves with the thought that they are doing a higher duty to social reform or mental hygiene.It is hard to define the precise pleasures of the supermarket. Unlike the saloon, it does not hold out promise of drugged senses of commonly considered basic to pleasure.There is, to be sure, the brilliant color of the fruit-and-vegetable department to lift the spirit out of gray January’s wearies, provided you do not look at the prices.There are fantastic riches of pointless variety to make the mind delight in the excess that is America. In my neighborhood supermarket, for example, there are twenty or thirty yards of nothing but paper towels of varying colors, patterns and thicknesses.What an amazing country that can make it so hard for a man to choose among things designed for the purpose of being thrown away!The people, however, are the real lure. As in the traditional saloon, there are many who seem determined to leave nothing for anybody else. These people prowl the aisles with carts overflowing with excesses of consumption. Twenty pounds of red meat, back-breaking cartons of powdered soap, onions wrapped lovingly in molded plastic, peanut butter by the hundredweight, cake mixes, sugar, oils, whole pineapples, wheels of cheese, candied watermelon rind, preserved camel humps from Persia…Groaning and sweating, they pile their tonnage up to the checker, see it packaged in a forest’s worth of paper bags and, the whole now reassembled as a tower of bags pyramided on another cart, they stagger off to their cars, drained of their wealth but filled with pride in their awesome capacity of consumption.At times, seeing such a customer trying to buy up the whole supermarket, one is tempted to say, “Come now, my good woman, you’ve had enough for the day.” Unfortunately, the ambience（气氛）of supermarkets does not encourage verbal exchanges. In this it is inferior to the saloon.Urban people, of course, are terribly scared nowadays. They may yearn for society, but it is risky to go around talking to strangers for a lot of reasons, one being that people are so accustomed not to have many human contacts that they are afraid they may find out they really prefer life that way.Whatever the reason, they go to the supermarket to be with people, but not to talk with people. The rule seems to be, you can look but you can’t speak. Ah, well most days there is a good bit to see. The other day in my own supermarket, for example, there was a woman who was sneakily （鬼鬼祟祟地）lifting the cardboard lids on Sara Lee frozen coffee cakes and peeking under, eyeball to coffee cake, to see if---what?Could she have misplaced something? Did she suspect that the contents were not as advertised? Whatever her purposes, she didn’t buy.Another woman was kneading（捏）a long package of white bread with her fingertips, rather like a doctor going over an abdomen for a cry of pain that might confirm appendicitis (阑尾炎). I had seen those silly women in the television commercial squeeze toilet paper, and so was prepared for almost anything, but this medical examination of the bread was startling.The woman, incidentally, did not buy. She left the store without a single purchase. This may have been because she looked at the “express checkout” line, saw that it would take forty-five minutes to pay for her bread and decided bread was not worth the wait.I suspect that woman who left empty-handed never intended to buy. I think she had simply become lonely sitting alone in her flat, or had begun to feel claustrophobic perhaps with her family, and had decided to go out to the supermarket and knead a loaf of white bread for the pure fun of feeling herself part of the great busy world.1. According to the author, what purposes does the supermarket serve for ordinary Americans? Giveyour answer within 50 words. (4%)2. What, according to the author, is the real attraction of the supermarket? What kind of people does theauthor describe in the essay? (4%)3. What is the author’s tone in describing th e big buyers and the two women? How do you know hisattitude? (4%)4. According to the author, what is the major weakness of the supermarket, in comparison with thetraditional saloon? Why do so many people go to the supermarket although they are well aware of this weakness? (4%)5. What problem does the author identify with the modern American life? Is going to the supermarket alikely cure? Why or why not? (4%)V. Translate the underlined part of the following passage into Chinese. (15%)I am honored and humbled to stand here, where so many of America's leaders have come before me, and so many will follow.We have a place, all of us, in a long story-a story we continue, but whose end we will not see. It is the story of a new world that became a friend and liberator of the old, a story of a slave-holding society that became a servant of freedom, the story of a power that went into the world to protect but not possess, to defend but not to conquer. It is the American story-a story of flawed and fallible people, united across the generations by grand and enduring ideals.The grandest of these ideals is an unfolding American promise that everyone belongs, that everyonedeserves a chance, that no insignificant person was ever born.Americans are called to enact this promise in our lives and in our laws. And though our nation has sometimes halted, and sometimes delayed, we must follow no other course.Through much of the last century, America's faith in freedom and democracy was a rock in a raging sea. Now it is a seed upon the wind, taking root in many nations.Our democratic faith is more than the creed of our country, it is the inborn hope of our humanity, an ideal we carry but do not own, a trust we bear and pass along. And even after nearly 225 years, we have a long way yet to travel.VI. Translate the underlined part of the following passage into English. (15%) 对于心的境界，我所能够给出的最高赞语就是：丰富的单纯。

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. The author's attitude toward wit can most accurately be described as _______A. cautious admiration.B. wholehearted amusement.C. tolerant disapprovalD. aversion7. A wit's tongue is like a donkey's stick in that both ______A. consider their victim's feelings.B. are gently persuasiveC. goad their victims.D. are used with definite purpose.8. The author thinks of humor as an ally because it ________A. seldom fails to amuse people.B. is enjoyableC. can be employed against others.D. does not cause discomfort.9. Implied but not stated:A. Humor is always genuine.B. Wit is more nimble that humor.C. Humorous persons have pleasant faces.D.Humor comes by more naturallythan wit.10. The distinction between wit and humor is _______A. of no particular importance.B. solely a matter of opinion.C. subtle.D. exact and important.TEXT C Which is a catalog card in a library and answer question 11.PR2065G31 B81966 Burrow, John Anthony.A Reading of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight by J.

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.

Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: In this section there are five reading passages followed by a total of twenty multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then write your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. TEXT AThirty-two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right beneath their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling abo ut one’s fellow man?“Not so,” say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to probe the reasons why people didn’t act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency.Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma from diabetes? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning? Is it “steampi pes”? Or is it really smoke from a fire? It’s not always easy to tell if you are faced witha real emergency.Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won’t get the help he needs.The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested”. Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them o ff on the “tests”. Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the “testing room” and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help. All of this had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder.Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn’t. They do not feel any direct responsibility.Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were emotional. They sweated. They had trembling hands. They felt the other person’s trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.31. The purpose of this passage is___________.A. to explain why people fail to act in emergenciesB. to explain when people will act in emergenciesC. to explain what people will do in emergenciesD. to explain how people feel in emergencies32. Which of the following is NOT true?A. When a person tries to help others, he must be clear that there is a real emergency.B. When a person tries to help others, he should know whether they are worth hishelp.C. A person must take the full responsibility for the safety of those in emergencies ifhe wants to help.D. A person with a heart attack needs the most.33. The researchers have conducted an experiment to prove that people will act inemergencies when_______________.A. they are in pairsB. they are in groupsC. they are aloneD. they are with their friends34. The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that___________.A. they are afraid of emergenciesB. they are reluctant to get themselves involvedC. others will act if they themselves hesitateD. they do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help35. The author suggests that____________.A. we shouldn’t blame a person if he fails to act in emergenciesB. a person must feel guilty if he fails to helpC. people should be responsible for themselves in emergenciesD. when you are in trouble, people will help you anyway TEXT BTo Err Is Humanby Lewis ThomasEveryone must have had at least one personal experience with a computer error by this time. Bank balances are suddenly reported to have jumped from $379 into the millions, appeals for charitable contributions are mailed over and over to people with crazy sounding names at your address, department stores send the wrong bills, utility companies write that they’re turning everything off, that sort of thing. If you manage to get in touch with someone and complain, you then get instantaneously typed, guilty letters from the same computer, saying, “Our computer was in error, and an adjustment is being made in your account.”These are supposed to be the sheerest, blindest accidents. Mistakes are not believed to be the normal behavior of a good machine. If things go wrong, it must be a personal, human error, the result of fingering, tampering a button getting stuck, someone hitting the wrong key. The computer, at its normal best, is infallible.I wonder whether this can be true. After all, the whole point of computers is that they represent an extension of the human brain, vastly improved upon but nonetheless human, superhuman maybe. A good computer can think clearly and quickly enough to beat you at chess, and some of them have even been programmed to write obscure verse. They can do anything we can do, and more besides.It is not yet known whether a computer has its own consciousness, and it would be hard to find out about this. When you walk into one of those great halls now built for the huge machines, and standing listening, it is easy to imagine that the faint, distant noises are the sound of thinking, and the turning of the spools gives them the look of wild creatures rolling their eyes in the effort to concentrate, choking with information. But real thinking, and dreaming, are other matters. On the other hand, the evidence of something like an unconscious, equivalent to ours, are all around, in every mail. As extensions of the human brain, they have been constructed the same property of error, spontaneous, uncontrolled, and rich in possibilities.36. The title of the writing “To Err Is Human” implies that ____________.A. making mistakes is confined only to human beings.B. every human being cannot avoid making mistakes.C. all human beings are always making mistakes.D. every human being is born to make bad mistakes.37. The first paragraph implies that _____________.A. computer errors are so obvious that one can hardly prevent them from happening.B. a computer is so capable of making errors that none of them is avoidable.C. computers make such errors as miscalculation and inaccurate reporting.D. computers can’t think so their errors are natural and unavoidable.38.

I once burst into tears when the curtain came down on the Kirov Ballet’s “Swan Lake”.I still choke up every time I see a film of Roger Bannister breaking the “impossible” four-minute mark for the mile. I figure I am moved by witnessing men and women at their best. But they need not be great men and women, doing great things.I remember the night, some years ago, when my wife and I were going to dinner ata friend’s house in New York city. It was sleeting. As we hurried toward the house, with its welcoming light, I noticed a car pulling out from the curb. Just ahead, another car was waiting to back into the parking space—a rare commodity in crowded Manhattan. But before he could do so another car came up from behind, and sneaked into the spot. That’s dirty pool, I thought.While my wife went ahead into our friend’s house, 1 stepped into the street to give the guilty driver a piece of my mind. A man in work clothes rolled down the window.“Hey,” I said, “this parking space belongs to that guy,” I gestured toward the man ahead, who was looking back angrily. I thought I was being a good Samaritan, I guess--and I remember that the moment I was feeling pretty manly in my new trench coat.“Mind your own business!” the driver told me.“No,” I said. “You don’t understand. That fellow was waiting to back into this space.”Things quickly heated up, until finally he leaped out of the car. My God, he was colossal. He grabbed me and bent me back over the hood of his car as if I was a rag doll. The sleet stung my face. I glanced at the other driver, looking for help, but he gunned his engine and hightailed it out of there.The huge man shook his rock of a fist of me, brushing my lip and cutting the inside of my mouth against my teeth. I tasted blood. I was terrified. He snarled and threatened, and then told me to beat it.Almost in a panic, I scrambled to my friend’s front door. As a former Marine, as a man, I felt utterly humiliated. Seeing that I was shaken, my wife and friends asked me what had happened. All I could bring myself to say was that I had had an argument about a parking space. They had the sensitivity to let it go at that.I sat stunned. Perhaps half an hour later, the doorbell rang. My blood ran cold. For some reason I was sure that the bruiser had returned for me. My hostess got up to answer it, but I stopped her. I felt morally bound to answer it myself.I walked down the hallway with dread. Yet 1 knew I had to face up to my fear. I opened the door. There he stood, towering. Behind him, the sleet came down harder than ever.“I came back to apologize,” he said in a low voice. “When I got home, I said to myself, ‘what right do I have to do that?’ I’m ashamed of myself. All I can tell you is that the Brooklyn Navy Yard is closing. I’ve worked there for years. And today I got laid off. I’m not myself. I hope you’ll accept my apology.”I often remember that big man. 1 think of the effort and courage it took for him to come back to apologize. He was man at last.And I remember that after I closed the door, my eyes blurred, as I stood in the hallway for a few moments alone.41. On what occasion is the author likely to be moved?A. A young person cheated of the best things in life.B. A genius athlete breaks a world record.C. A little girl suffers from an incurable disease.D. When the curtain comes down on a touching play.42. What does “dirty pool” a t the end of the second paragraph mean?A. Improper deed.B. Bribery.C. Unclean place.D. Dirty transaction.43. Why didn’t the writer’s wife and friends ask him what had really happened to him?A. They sensed that something terrible happened, th ey didn’t dare to ask.B. They were afraid that the writer might lose face if they asked.C. They’d like to let it be for it was not their business.D. They tried to calm the writer in this way.TEXT DIn a reaction against a too-rigid, over-refined classical curriculum, some educational philosophers have swung sharply to an espousal of “life experience” as the sole source of learning. Using their narrow interpretation of John Dewey’s theories as a base for support, they conclude that only through “doing”can learning take place. Spouting such phrases as “Teach the child, not the subject,” they demand, without sensing its absurdity, an end to rigorous study as a means of opening the way to learning. While not all adherents to this approach would totally eliminate a study of great books, the influence of this philosophy has been felt in the public school curricula, as evidenced by the gradual subordination of great literature.What is the purpose of literature? Why read, if life alone is to be our teacher? James Joyce states that the artist reveals the human situation by re-creating life out of life. Aristotle states that art presents universal truths because its form is taken from nature. Thus, consciously or otherwise, the great writer reveals the human situation most tellingly, extending our understanding of ourselves and our world.We can soar with the writer to the heights of man’s aspirations, or plummeting w ithhim to tragic despair. The works of Steinbeck, Anderson, and Salinger; the poetry of Whitman, Sandburg, and Frost; the plays of Ibsen, Miller, and O’Neill; all present starkly realistic portrayals of life’s problems. Reality? Yes! But how much wider is the understanding we gain than that attained by viewing life through the keyhole of our single existence.Can we measure the richness gained by the young reader venturing down the Mississippi with Tom and Huck, or cheering Ivanhoe as he battles the Black Knight; the deepening understanding of the mature reader of the tragic South of William Faulkner and Tennessee Williams, of the awesome determination and frailty of Patrick White’s Australian pioneers?This function of literature, the enlarging of our own life sphere, is of itself of major importance. Additionally, however, it has been suggested that solutions of social problems maybe suggested in the study of literature. The overweening ambitions of political leaders--and their sneering contempt for the law--did not appear for the first time in the writings of Bernstein and Woodward; the problems, and the consequent actions, of the guilt ridden did not await the appearance of the bearded psychoanalyst of the twentieth century.Federal Judge Learned Hand has written, “I venture to believe that it is as important to a judge called upon to pass on a question of constitutional law, to have at least a bowing acquaintance with Thucydides, Gibbon, and Carlyle, with Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, and Milton, with Montaigne and Rabelais, with Plato, Bacon, Hume, and Kant, as with the books which have been specifically written on the subject. For in such matters everything turns upon the spirit in which he approaches the questions before him.”But what of our dissenters? Can we overcome the disapproval of their “life experience classroom” theory of learning? We must s tart with the field of agreement--that education should serve to improve the individual and society. We must educate them to the understanding that the voice of human experience should stretch our human faculties, and open us to learning. We must convince them--in their own personal language perhaps--of the “togetherness” of life and art; we must prove to them that far from being separate, literature is that part of life which illuminates life.44. According to the passage, the end goal of great literature is ____________.A. the recounting of dramatic and exciting stories, and the creation of charactersB. to create anew a synthesis of life that illuminates the human conditionC. the teaching of morality and ethical behaviorD. to portray life’s problem45. In the author’s opinion, as seen in this passage, one outcome of the influence of the “life experience” adherents has been ______.A. the gradual subordination of the study of great literature in the schoolsB. a narrowed interpretation of the theories of John DeweyC. a sharp swing over to “learning through doing”D. an end to rigorous study as a way of learning46. As the author sees it, one of the most important gains from the study of great literature is _____________.A. enrichment of our understanding of the pastB. broadening of our approaches to social problemsC. that it gives us a bowing acquaintance with great figures of the pastD. that it provides us with vicarious experiences which provide a much broaderexperience than we can get from experiences of simply our own lives alone47. The author’s purpose in this passage is to ______.A. list those writers who make up the backbone of a great literature curriculumB. compare the young reader’s experience with literature to that of the maturereadersC. plead for the retention of great literature as a fundamental part of the curriculumD. advocate the adoption of the “life experience” approach to teachingTEXT EI will now teach, offering my way of life to whomsoever desires to commit suicide by the scheme which has enabled me to beat the doctor and the hangman for seventy years. Some of the details may sound untrue, but they are not. I am not here to deceive; I am here to teach.We have no permanent habits until we are forty. Then they begin to harden, presently they petrify, then business begins. Since forty I have been regular about going to bed and getting up and that is one of the main things. I have made it a rule to go to bed when I had to. This has resulted in an unswerving regularity of irregularity. It has saved me sound, but it would injure another person.In the matter of diet—which is another main thing—I have been persistently strict in sticking to the things which didn’t agree with me until one or the other of us got the best of it. Until lately I got the best of it myself. But last spring I stopped frolicking with mince pie after midnight, up to then I had always believed I wasn’t loaded. For thirty years I have taken coffee and bread at eight in the morning, and no bite nor sup until seven-thirty in the evening. Eleven hours. That is all right for me, and is wholesome, because I have never had a headache in my life, but headachy people would not reach seventy comfortably by that road, and they would be foolish to try it. And I wish to urge upon you this—which I think is wisdom—that if you find you can’t make seventy by any but an uncomfortable road, don’t you go. When they take off the Pullman and retire you to the rancid smoker, put on your things, count your checks and get out at the first way station where there’s a cemetery.I have made it a rule never to smoke more than one cigar at a time. I have no other restriction as regards smoking. I do not know just when I began to smoke; I only know that it was in my father’s lifetime, and that I was discreet. He passed from his life early in 1847, when I was a shade past eleven; ever since then I have smoked publicly. As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain when awake. It is a good rule, I mean, for me; but some of you know quite well that it wouldn’t answer for everybody that’s trying to get to be seventy.I smoke in bed until I have to go to sleep; I wake up in the night, sometimes once, sometimes twice, sometimes three times, and I never waste any of these opportunities to smoke. This habit is so old and dear and precious to me that I would feel as you, sir,would feel if you should lose the only moral you’ve got--meaning the chairman--if you’ve got one; I am making no charges. I will grant, here, that I have stopped smoking now and then, for a few months at a time, but it was not on principle, it was only to show off; it was to pulverize those critics who said I was a slave to my habits and couldn’t break my bonds.48. The best title for this passage would be__________.A. How to Get to SeventyB. How to Tell a Funny StoryC. Smoking and AgingD. My Funny Life49. In Para. 4, the author portrays himself as__________.A. a heavy smokerB. an austere personC. a rule followerD. a forgetful person50. Although the author says “I am here to teach,” his purpose is really____________.A. to deceiveB. to jokeC. to persuadeD. to smokeIV. Proofreading & Error Correction (10%)Proofread and correct the given passage on ANSWER SHEET as instructed.V. EC Translation (10%)Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET.On any person who desires such queer prizes, New York will bestow the gift of loneliness and the gift of privacy. It is this largess that accounts for the presence within the city’s walls of a considerable section of the population; for the residents of Manhattan are to a large extent strangers who have pulled up stakes somewhere and come to town, seeking sanctuary of fulfillment or some greater or lesser grail. The capacity to make such dubious gifts is a mysterious quality of New York. It can destroy an individual, or it can fulfill him, depending a good deal on luck. No one should come to New York to live unless he is willing to be lucky.VI. CE Translation (10%)Directions: Translate the following text into English.
