points)
⑴I deny not, but that it is of greatest concernment for the Common wealth and church, to have vigilant eyes how books demean themselves as well as men; and thereafter to confine, imprison, and do sharpest justice on them as male- factors. For books are not absolutely dead things but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul was whose progeny they are: nay, they do preserve as in a vial the purest efficacy and extraction of that living intellect that bred them. I know they are as lively, and as vigorously productive, as those fabulous dragons' teeth, and being

sown up and down, may chance to spring up armed men. And yet, on the other hand, unless wariness be used, as good almost kill a man as kill a good book; who kills a man kills a reasonable creature, God's image, but he who destroy a good book, kills reason itself, kills the image of God, as it were, in the eye.

⑵It is not the mere addition to our knowledge that is the illumination; but the locomotion, the movement onwards, of that mental centre, to which both what we know, and what we are learning, the accumulating mass of our acquirements, gravitates. And therefore a truly great intellect, and recognized to be such by the common opinion of mankind, such as the intellect of Aristotle, or of St. Thomas, or of Newton, or of Goethe is one which takes a connected view of old and new, past and present, far and near, and which has an insight into the influence of all these one on another; without which there is no whole, and no centre. It possesses the knowledge, not only of things, but also of their mutual and true relations; knowledge, not merely considered as acquirement, but as philosophy. Accordingly, when this analytical, distributive, harmonizing process is away, the mind experiences no enlargement, and is not reckoned as enlightened or comprehensive, whatever it may add to its knowledge. For instance, a great memory, as I have already said, does not make a philosopher, any more than a dictionary can be called a grammar. There are men who embrace in their minds a vast multitude of ideas, but with little sensibility about their real relations towards each other. These may be antiquarians, annalists, naturalists; they may be learned in the law; they may be versed in statistics; they are most useful in their own place; I should shrink from speaking disrespectfully of them;

still, there is nothing in such attainments to guarantee the absence of narrowness of
mind. If they are nothing more than well-read men, or men of information, they have not what specially deserves the name of culture of mind, or fulfils the type of Liberal Education.

____________________________________________________________________ IV. The following expository Chinese passage uses analogy to persuade the readers to show gumption before adversity, equanimity after misfortune. Translate it into English, using proper English hypotactic syntactic devices—subordination of clauses and phrases. （20 points）
人类在历史上的生活正好像旅行一样，旅途上的征人所经过的地方，有时是坦荡平原，有时是崎岖险路。

志于旅途的人，走到平坦的地方，固是高高兴兴地向前走，走到崎岖的境界，愈是奇趣横生，觉得在此奇绝壮绝的境界，愈能感得一种冒险的美趣。

中华民族现在所逢的史路，是一段崎岖险阻的道路。

在这一段道路上，实在亦有一种奇绝壮绝的境致，使我们经过此段道路的人，感到一种壮美的趣味。

但这种壮美的趣味，是非有雄健的精神的，不能够感觉到的。

我们的扬子江、黄河，可以代表我们的民族精神。

扬子江及黄河遇到沙漠，遇见山峡，都是浩浩荡荡的往前流过去，以成其浊流滚滚、一泻万里的气势。

目前的艰难境界，哪能阻抑我们民族生命的前进。

我们应该拿出雄健的精神，高唱着进行的曲调，在这悲壮的歌声中，走过这崎岖险阻的道路。

要知在艰难的国运中建造国家，亦是人生最有趣味的事。

National Crisis and Heroic Nation
The historical course of man's life is just like a journey[2分]. A traveler on a long journey passes through now a broad level plain, now a rugged and hazardous road[2分]. While a determined traveler cheerfully continued his journey upon reaching a safe and smooth place, he finds it still more fascinating to come to a rugged place,
the enormously magnificent spectacle of which he feels, is better able to generate in him a wonderful sensation of adventure[4分].. The Chinese nation now is confronted
with a rugged and dangerous section of its historical course[2分].. Nevertheless, there is also in this section, a spectacle of enormous magnificence that inspires in us passers-by a delightful sensation of splendor[2分].. This delightful sensation can only be shared by those with a heroic spirit[1分].. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River are both symbolic of our national spirit[1分].. The two mighty rivers negotiate deserts and gorges until their turbid torrents surges forward with irresistible force[2分].. The present national crisis can never obstruct the advance of our national life[1分].. Let us brace up our spirit and match through the rugged dangerous road to the tune of our solemn stirring songs[2分].. The greatest joy of life, mind you, is to build
up our country during its most difficult day.[1分]. (ZhangPeiji, The Selected Modern Chinese Prose Writings, p3)

On the Importance of Learning Chinese, Chinese Youngsters Should Cultivate Chinese, ect
一扣题，分析现象并并阐明观点[10分]
1To write and speak correctly gives a grace and gains a favorable attention to
what one has to say: and since it is Chinese that a Chinese will have constant use of,
that is the language he should chiefly cultivate, and wherein most care should be taken to polish and perfect his style. To speak or write better English than Chinese,
may make a man be talked of, but he would find it more to his purpose to express himself well in his own tongue, that he uses every moment, than to have the vain commendation of others for a very insignificant quality/ merits. This I find universally neglected，and no care taken any where to improve young men in their own language, that they may thoroughly understand and be masters of it.
第二段阐述国语不受重视的危害，以及改进策略
2If any one among us has a facility or purity more than ordinary in his mother tongue, it is owing to chance, or his genius, or any thing rather than to his education
or any care of his teacher. To mind what Chinese his pupil speaks or writes, is below the dignity of one bred up amongst English and French, though he have but
little of them himself. These are the languages fit only for those who have constant
contacts with foreigners or engage in academic study to meddle with and teach;
Chinese is the language of the men in the street. Though yet we see the polity of
developed countries have not thought it beneath the public care to promote and
reward the improvement of their own language. Polishing and enriching their tongue
is no small business amongst them; it hath colleges and stipends appointed it, and there is raised amongst them a great ambition and emulation of writing correctly.
And we see what Japanese and Korean have come to by it, and how far they have spread one of the most neglected languages possibly in our country; if we look
upon it as it was in one hundred years ago, whatever it be now. 举例论证重

The great men among the British Empire were daily exercising themselves in their own language; and we find that many of them have reiterated in their

eventful and challenging life after leaving school.反面论证

3It's plain the French is yet nicer in theirs. All other speech was barbarous to
them but their own, and no foreign language appears to have been studied or valued amongst that learned and acute people; though it is past doubt that they inherited [borrowed] their learning and philosophy from the Romans.
最后总结引申题目10分
4I am not here speaking against English or French or Russian or Japanese; I
think they ought to be studied, and English or French at least understood well by Chinese college students. But whatever foreign languages a young man meddles
with (and the more he knows the better) that which he should critically study, and labor to get a facility, clearness and elegancy to express himself in, should be Chinese; and to this purpose he should daily be exercised in it.
