I. Translate the following passage into Chinese on your ANSWER SHEET. (10%)As the economic downturn forces corporations and small businesses to shed jobs, one large employer still has the “help wanted” sign out: the U.S. government. Experts say the federal government’s civilian workforce of 2.8 million is likely to expand significantly over the next several years as it gears up to stimulate the economy, rescue troubled banks, overhaul health care and pursue other elements of President Barack Obama’s agenda. With the economy in turmoil, the stability of a government career now holds greater appeal. And it doesn’t hurt that the new boss, President Barack Obama, has encouraged citizens to consider public service—a marked contrast to predecessor George W. Bush, who disparaged government.

Multiple birthsare common among low animals, but identical offspring 43. is rare, except for one species of armadillo. The female 44. armadillo always gives birth up to quadruplets. 45.

In the United States, the first day nursery was opened in 1854. Nurseries were established in various areas during the (16) half of the 19th century; most of (17) were charitable. Both in Europe and in the U.S. the day-nursery movement received great (18) during the First World War, when (19) of manpower caused the industrial employment of unprecedented (前所未有的) numbers of women. In some European countries nurseries were established (20) in munitions (军火) plants, under direct government sponsorship. (21) the number of nurseries in the U.S. also rose (22), this rise was accomplished without government aid of any kind. During the years following the First Word War (23), Federal, State, and local government gradually began to exercise a measure of control (24) the day nurseries, chiefly by (25) them and by inspecting and regulating the conditions within the nurseries.The (26) of the Second World War was quickly followed by an increase in the number of day nurseries in almost all countries, as women were (27) called upon to replace men in the factories. On this (28) the U.S. government immediately came to the support of the nursery schools, (29) $6,000,000 in July, 1942, for a nursery-school program for the children of working mothers. Many States and local communities (30) this Federal aid. By the end of the war, in August, 1945, more than 100,000 children were being cared (31) in day-care centers receiving Federal (32). Soon afterward, the Federal government (33) cut down its expenditures for this purpose and later (34) them, causing a sharp drop in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the expectation that most employed mothers would leave their (35) at the end of the war only partly fulfilled.

Analysts have had their go at humor, and I have read some of this interpretative literature, but without being greatly instructed. Humor can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process and the innards (肠胃) are discouraging to any but the pure scientific mind.In a newsreel theatre the other day I saw a picture of a man who had developed the soap bubble to a higher point than it had ever before reached. He had become the ace soap bubble blower of America, had perfected the business of blowing bubbles, refined it, doubled it, squared it, and had even worked himself up into a convenient lather. The effect was not pretty. Some of the bubbles were too big to be beautiful, and the blower was always jumping into them or out of them, or playing some sort of unattractive trick with them. It was, if anything, a rather repulsive sight. Humor is a little like that: it won’t stand much blowing up, and it won’t stand much poking. It has certain fragility, an evasiveness, which one had best respected. Essentially, it is a complete mystery. A human frame convulsed with laughter, and the laughter becoming mysterious and uncontrollable, is as far out of balance as one shaken with the hiccoughs or in the throes of a sneezing fit.One of the things commonly said about humorist is that they are really very sad people clowns with a breaking heart. There is some truth in it, but it is badly stated. It would be more accurate, I think, to say that there is a deep vein of melancholy running through everyone’s life and that the humorist, perhaps more sensible of it than some others, compensates for it actively and positively. Humorists fatten on trouble. They have always made trouble pay. They struggle along with a good will and endure pain cheerfully, knowing how well it will serve them in the sweet by and by. You find them wrestling with foreign languages, fighting folding ironing boards and swollen drainpipes, suffering the terrible discomfort of tight boots (or as Josh Billings wittily called them, “tire boots”). They pour out their sorrows profitably, in a form that is not quite fiction nor quite fact either. Beneath the sparkling surface of these dilemmas flows the strong tide of human woe.Practically everyone is a manic depressive of sorts, with his up moments and his down moments, and you certainly don’t have to be a humorist to taste the sadness of situation and mood. But there is often a rather fine line between laughing and crying, and if a humorous piece of writing brings a person to the point where his emotional responses are untrustworthy and seem likely to break over into the opposite realm, it is because humor, like poetry, has an extra content. It plays close to the big hot fire which is Truth, and sometimes the reader feels the heat.11. In the first paragraph the author wants to say that .12. The author uses the example of the soap bubble blower to show that .13. According to the author, humorists differ from ordinary people in the sense that .14. A humorous piece of writing can make the reader’s emotional responses untrustworthy because .15. The passage’s success lies in its extensive use of __.

At its best, any prison is so unnatural a form of segregation from normal life that like too loving parents and too zealous religion and all other well-meant violations of individuality—it helps to prevent the victims of resuming, when they are let out, any natural role in human society. At its worst, the prison is almost scientifically designed to develop by force ripening every one of the anti-social traits (品质，性格) for which we suppose ourselves to put people into prison. (I say suppose, because actually we put people into prison only because we don’t know what else to do with them…) Prison makes the man who is sexually abnormal, sexually a maniac. Prison makes the man who enjoyed beating fellow drunk in a barroom come out wanting to kill a policeman.Probably we cannot tomorrow turn all the so-called criminals loose and close the jails, though, of course that is what we are doing by letting them go at the end of their sentences. No, society cannot free the victims. Society has unfitted for freedom. Doubtless, since the Milennium (太平盛世) is still centuries ahead, it is advisable to make prisons as sanitary and well-lighted as possible, that the convicts may live out their living death more comfortable. Only keep your philosophy straight. Do not imagine that, when you have by carelessness failed in inoculating (给……接种，注射) them, let your victims get smallpox, you are going to save them or exonerate (免除，解除) yourselves by bathing their brows, however grateful the bathing may be.What is to take the place of prisons?6. The author says that prison is like some parents, or like some kinds of religion, in that it .7. At the worst, according to the passage, prison .8. Why, according to the author, do we put people in prison?9. Why, according to the author, can’t we let all the prisoners free?10. Read the last sentence but one (beginning with “Do not imaging...”), and then choose the answer that is closest to its meaning.

Ours is a society that tries to keep the world sharply divided into masculine and feminine, not because that is the way the world is, but because that is the way we believe it should be. It takes unwavering belief and considerable effort to keep this division. It also leads us to make some fairly foolish judgments, particularly about language.Because we think that language also should be divided into masculine and feminine we have become very skilled at ignoring anything that will not fit our preconceptions. We would rather change what we hear than change our ideas about the gender division of the world. We will call assertive girls unfeminine, and supportive boys effeminate, and try to change them while still retaining our stereotypes of masculine and feminine talk.This is why some research on sex differences and language has been so interesting. It is an illustration of how wrong we can be. Of the many investigators who set out to find the stereotyped sex differences in language, few have had any positive results. It seems that our images of serious taciturn (沉默的) male speakers and gossipy garrulous (饶舌) female speakers are just that: images.Many myths associated with masculine and feminine talk have had to be discarded as more research has been undertaken. If females do use more trivial words than males, stop talking in mid-sentence, or talk about the same things over and over again, they do not do it when investigators are around.None of these characteristics of female speech have been found. And even when sex differences have been found, the question arises as to whether the difference is in the eye-or ear-of the beholder, rather than in the language.Pitch provides one example. We believe that males were meant to talk in low pitched voices and females in high pitched voices. We also believe that low pitch is more desirable. Well, it has been found that this difference cannot be explained by anatomy.If males do not speak in high pitched voices, it is not usually because they are unable to do so. The reason is more likely to be that there are penalties. Males with high pitched voices are often the object of ridicule. But pitch is not an absolute, for what is considered the right pitch for males varies from country to country.1. The passage implies that the author’s attitude towards the division of feminine talk and masculine talk is .2. What does the word “effeminate” (Para 2) mean?3. The author uses pitch as an example in order to indicate .4. Which of the following does NOT belong to the stereotype of feminine talk?5. Males do not speak loudly because __.

Directions:I. Imagine you are a student who wants to apply for the New Star scholarship offered by your university. Write a letter to the person concerned which should include: 1. the purpose of writing the letter; 2. your qualifications for the scholarship. (10%)

Do you remember last summer, when furious travelers were pounding on Congress to do something about airline customer service? Airlines promised to improve, and they adopted new standards just before Christmas. But as another summer nears, plenty of experienced travelers don’t see much improvement in customer service overall.This month, the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) inspector general’s office will issue its first critical article on whether airlines are honoring their promises. One survey suggests problems: The number of complaints to the DOT about the top 10 airlines in the first quarter soared 89% from a year ago.Hit last summer by passenger complaints and the threat of consumer-protection laws by Congress, 14 carriers voluntarily agreed to adopt a set of basic customer-service standards called Customers First. From immediate refunds to truthful reservation agents to toilets that flush during onboard delays, the “12 commitments” to passengers were introduced as a major effort to improve service. Since then, airlines have been redesigning websites, retraining employees and upgrading technology. Recently, DOT inspector general Kenneth Mead, at McCain’s request, sent 20 examiners to airports to document whether each airline is doing what it promised. Mead cautions travelers shouldn’t expect too much. Most of the promises are aimed at better communication with customers, not problems free flights.“We think passengers, both business and leisure, perceive travel as more of a quarrel these days,” spokeswoman Shelly Sasson says. “Some of this is perception, but a lot is reality.” “And when improvements are made, it takes a long time for them to be noticed”, she says. Now, the efforts may be working. During the first quarter, Delta had the second-lowest rate of complaints among the top 10carriers. Still, its rate, along with other carriers, is up from last year. McCain and other lawmakers say new consumer protection laws aren’t out of the question if the industry’s voluntary program doesn’t work.56. The passage tells us that .57. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?58. Which of the following statements is closest in meaning to the sentence “Some of this is perception, but a lot is reality.” (Para. 5)?59. The author has written the last paragraph mainly to mean .60. In paragraph 1, the phrase “pounding on” means “__”.
