The cities themselves were so different. About the only thing they had in common was that both names began with “M”. In the Philippines, society was disorganized and free. There was prac tically no governmental control of anything. In Moscow, everything was organized and contrived. Manila was a city of brilliant color, with blue seas, fleecy white clouds, and waving palm trees marred by the shocking contrast between wealth and poverty. Moscow was gray and cold, homogenized and depressing. In Russia, however, you felt a sense of power that was lacking in the Philippines.There was a sharp difference between the people, too. The Filipinos were charming, friendly, warmhearted, and outgoing, whereas the Russians were reserved and suspicious. The average Filipino looked on the United States with respect and affection. In large measure, this sentiment was due to the hundreds of American teachers who set up schools in virtually every barrio in the country at the beginning of the century. the American military campaign that drove out the Japanese in World War Ⅱand the subsequent granting of independence to the islands certainly contributed to the Filipinos’ affection for the united states. So great was this affection, which bordered on loyalty to the united states, that it was a matter of concern to some of the younger politicians in manila. To offset what they regarded as excessive dependency, emotionally anyway, on the United States, they built little fires of anti-American sentiment. Some politicians in personal conversation with Americans admitted that they indulged in anti-American attacks to enhance their political fortunes.Ⅱ.Translate the following into English (40points)人人希望幸福, 但是,什么是幸福?如果经过一番深思,那么答案并不简单.古往今来没有人能拥有永远的,完美的幸福.这是人性的本质所决定的.幸福必须付出一定代价,起码在付出代价的时候必有艰难痛苦.人生虽有快乐,但更多的是不如意.人间如果人人幸福,事事美满,那么一切的追求和努力都会停止.所以,“幸福”使人生有享受与安慰,“不幸福”则促使人生不断努力追求,因而提升了个人的价值.人生不会有永久绝对的幸福.才华横溢,少年得志的英国文豪王尔德后半生非常痛苦。

他有一句话令人难忘。

他说：“人生的悲哀有两种：一种是你所渴望的却得不到；另一种是得到了。

”这是很有深意的智慧之语，尤其是下半句。

这位天才作家付出了余生惨痛的代价，才有如此深刻的人生体验。

所渴望的得不到，因而悲哀，很容易理解。

为什么得到了也是悲哀呢？因为过高的预期，过多的激情与渴望，会使你在得到之后，因为不如你梦寐以求的那样完美而大失所望；即使相当完美，但一切事物都会变迁，也不是我们所能把握，当其面目全非，同样会使你大失所望；或者所热切追求的事物里面原来就埋伏了无法预测的危机，所以“得到了”是另一种悲哀。

得不到是不幸，得到了也可能是不幸。

可见“幸福”与否，实在难以断言。

Ⅲ. Write a short comment in English on each of the following (30points)⑴The quality of mercy is not strain’d,It droppeth as the gentle rain from heavenUpon the place beneath: it is twice bless’dIt blesseth him that gives, and him that takes:‘Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomesThe throned monarch better than his crown;His scepter shows the force of temporal power,The attribute to awe and majesty,Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings;But mercy is above this sceptred swayIt is enthroned in the hearts of kings,It is an attribute to God himself;And earthly power doth then show likest God’sWhen mercy seasons justice.⑵No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend’s or of thine own were: any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and there fore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. Neither can we call this a begging of misery, or a borrowing of misery, as though we were not miserable enough of ourselves, but must fetch in more from the next house, in taking upon up the misery of our neighbors. Truly it were an excusable covetousness if we did, for affliction is a treasure, and scarce any man hath enough of it. No man hath affliction enough that is not matured and ripened by and made fit for God by that affliction.Ⅳ.
