The prejudice has probably derived from India, and the Indian 【S2】______ islands, which troops of elephants, noble forests, and impenetrable jungles, 【S3】______ are associated together in every one’s mind.

The same thing is rendered evident by the many engravings which have been published of various parts of the interior. Dr. Andrew Smith, who has lately succeeded in passing the Tropic of Capricorn, informs me that, taken into consideration the whole of the 【S7】______ southern part of Africa, there can be no doubt of its being a sterile country. On the southern coasts there are some fine forests, but without these 【S8】______ exceptions, the traveler may pass for days together through open plains, covered by a poor and scanty vegetation. Now, if we look to the animals inhabiting this wide plains, we shall find their numbers extraordinarily 【S9】______ great, and their bulk immense. We must enumerate the elephant, three species of rhinoceros, the giraffe, two zebras, two gnus, and several antelopes even larger than these latter animals.

Band 5 Translation:Section A：Chinese to EnglishText 1“Thank you,” said the woman, and she gave the fairy three silver coins. Then she went home and planted the seed. Soon there grew up a large handsome red flower, something like a tulip in appearance.“What a lovely flower,” said the woman, and she kissed its beautiful petals. While she did so, the flower opened with a snap, and now people could see that it was a real tulip. Within the flower sat a very delicate and graceful little maiden. She was scarcely half as long as a thumb, and they gave her the name of “Thumbelina”.Text 2To know the Joy of being given a new flat, one has only to see the wretchedness of those with inadequate housing; and to know the importance of allotting housing, one need only to see how those in charge calculate as finely as a general confronting a dangerous enemy and how the applicants marshall all their prestige, words, and brains ...On January 14, after much wrangling and rushing about, many clashes, excuses, false alarms, a showdown, waiting, despairs and hope rekindled, he received six keys, three for each flat. The grooved keys of aluminium alloy looked like any other keys, still smelling of dust and dirt with their protective coating of oil. He was pleased to get them, but not as happy as he had expected to be.Text 3She held me in her arms, humming and patting me as I became more aggrieved than ever. “Listen,” she said. “Listen now. Can you hear it?” I stoppedcrying to listen intently and heard a beautiful sound, soft and fluid. Was it a pigeon whistle, the autumn wind, the leaves brushing against the eaves as they fell or was it just Granny humming? I still have no idea. “Go to sleep. I'll hit the grey monkey if it comes.” That was her lullaby. On the ceiling was a quivering spot of light, the reflection of the sun in the water basin. It too was soft and fluid and merged into a peaceful dream as I fell asleep in her arms.Text 4Snow mantled the cottage tiles where the eaves were in disrepair and hung down in finger-like icicles from roofs under which people huddled as though stored away in an icebox, to awaken with cold at midnight and hear the old north wind howling over their heads.Dawn broke, and the sun shed its golden radiance on the bitterly cold village. A couple of dogs were rolling on the threshing ground. A couple of women were breaking ice at the river bank to draw water; three hornwort boats pressed tightly together as if frozen into a block ...Text 5While historical sites of other countries were built at a certain time, enjoyed their prosperity, and then became preserved as relics for people to visit, China's Great Wall is different. It was rebuilt and extended dynasty after dynasty. The Great Wall grew in length as time went on. China has too long a history, of too much war and suffering, for any ancient monument to remain forever unless it was buried underground in tombs, or hidden in places unfrequented by people. The Epang Palace was burnt down, Prince Teng's Pavilion collapsed, and Yellow Crane Tower was rebuilt only recently. Dujiang Dam at Chengdu in Sichuan has remained due to itsirrigation function.Text 6A home is a place for people to live in; therefore everything should be measured against the standard whether people feel at home. Excessive attention to one's dwelling turns one into a slave in bondage to material structure, and a round-the-clock housekeeper. It's hardly worth the while. The layout and ambience of an enviable home should be designed to guarantee the health of every family member and promote domestic harmony. An ideal home should be pervaded by human feeling, and if too clean and too luxurious, the place will have its human touch abridged. Some people like to decorate their home in such a way as if it was open for show to foreign visitors only. The result is: even the owner of the mansion doesn't feel at home.Text 7We will further deepen the reform.In the economic restructuring, we shall speed up the development of a market system, let the market play a bigger role, improve the macro adjustment and regulation by the State and accelerate development of the national economy. Moreover, we shall also endeavor to push forward structural reform in the fields of science and technology, education and culture. We should enthusiastically press ahead with our political reform by promoting socialist democracy and the rule of law. Parallel to our economic reform and development, we should make even greater effort in the reform of our civil administrative system and institutions so as to transform the government functions, cut down staff size and raise efficiency. In all reforms, we maintain that it is essential to be bold in exploring new ways and experimenting and to sum up experience continuously.Text 8Peking opera is a synthesis of stylized action, singing, dialogue and mime, acrobatic fighting and dancing to represent a story or depict different characters and their feelings of gladness, anger, sorrow, happiness, surprise, fear and sadness. In Peking opera there are four main types of roles; sheng (male), dan (female), Jing ( painted face, male), and chou (clown, male or female). The characters may be loyal or treacherous, beautiful or ugly, good or bad, their images being vividly manifested.The types of facial make-ups in Peking opera are rich and various, depicting different characters and remarkable images, and therefore they are highly appreciated. For the painted role, the different colors of the faces represent different characters and personality. Red stands for uprightness and loyalty, black means valor and wisdom, blue and green indicate the vigorous and enterprising characters of rebellious heroes, yellow and white represent cunning and gold and silver represent mystic or super-natural power.Text 9Since the 1990s when China decided to open up in all directions, Shanghai, as an international metropolis, assumed the leading role in implementing the country's reform and open policies on account of her superior geographical position, firm economic foundation and rich talent resources. However, with cramped developing space in the urban area, she was consciously aware of the fact that the cost of remoulding the old city area was much higher than that of building a new city area. Therefore, developing Pudong became a must. In April 1990, Chinese government announced its plan to develop Pudong and open up the area to the outside world. Pudong, symbolizing Shanghai's future and promise, was meant to bedeveloped into a modernized new area that was outward-looking, multi-functional, instead of just an industrial area. It would make full use of the experience gained by several southern economic special zones and in return provide references for the planning and development of other new areas in China.Text 10Near China's northern borders lived a man well versed in the practices of Taoism. His horse, for no reason at all, got into the territory of the northern tribes. Everyone commiserated with him. “Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing,” said the father. After a few months, his animal came back, leading a fine horse from the north. Everyone congratulated him. “Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a cause of misfortune,” said the father. Since he was well-off and kept good horses? the son became fond of riding and eventually broke his thigh bone falling from a horse. Everyone commiserated with him. “Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing,” said the father. One year later, the northern tribes started a big invasion of the border regions. All able-bodied young men took up arms and fought against the invaders, and as a result, around the border nine out of ten men died. This man's son did not join in the fighting because he was crippled and so both the boy and his father survived.Band 5 Translation:Section B:English to ChineseText l在夕阳最后一缕余辉的照射下，它们酷似那高耸的雷雨云，奔腾翻滚着冲向夜空。

英语专八改错部分真题及答案英语专八改错部分真题及答案So far as we can tell, all human languages are equally complete and perfect as instruments of communication: that is, every language appears to be as well equipped as any other to say the things its speakers want to say. It may or may not be appropriate to talk about primitive peoples or cultures, but that is another matter. Certainly, not all groups of people are equally competent in nuclear physics or psychology or the cultivation of rice or the engraving of Benares brass. But this is not the fault of their language. The Eskimos can speak about snow with a great deal more precision and subtlety than we can in English, but this is not because the Eskimo language (one of those sometimes miscalled ’primitive’) is inherently more precise and subtle than English. This example does not bring to light a defect in English, a show of unexpected ’primitiveness’. The position is simply and obviously that the Eskimos and the English live in different environments. The English language would be just as rich in terms for different kinds of snow, presumably, if the environments in which English was habitually used made such distinction important. Similarly, we have no reason to doubt that the Eskimo language could be as precise and subtle on the subject of motor manufacture or cricket if these topics formed part of the Eskimos’ life. For obvious historical reasons, Englishmen in the nineteenth century could not talk about motorcars with the minute discrimination which is possible today: cars were not a part of their culture. But they had a host of terms for horse-drawn vehicles which send us, puzzled, to a historical dictionary when we are reading Scott or Dickens. How many ofus could distinguish between a chaise, a landau, a victoria, a brougham, a coupe, a gig, a diligence, a whisky, a calash, a tilbury,a carriole, a phaeton, and a clarence ?1 be后插入 as;2 their改为its;3 There改为It;4 Whereas改为But;5 further 改为much6 come改为bring;7 similar改为different;8 will改为would;9 as important去掉as;10 the part去掉the。

EXERCISE ONE2006年一．Proof reading.We use language primarily as a means of communication withother human beings. Each of us shares with the community in which welive a store of words and meanings as well as agreeing conventions as 1_______ to the way in which words should be arranged to convey a particular 2______ message: the English speaker has in his disposal vocabulary and a3_______ set of grammatical rules which enables him to communicate his4______ thoughts and feelings, in a variety of styles, to the other English 5_______ speakers. His vocabulary, in particular, both that which he uses activelyand that which he recognizes, increases in size as he growsold as a result of education and experience. 6______ But, whether the language store is relatively small or large, the systemremains no more, than a psychological reality for tike inpidual, unlesshe has a means of expressing it in terms able to be seen by another 7_______ member of his linguistic community; he bas to give tile system aconcrete transmission form. We take it for granted rice’ two m ost8_______ common forms of transmission-by means of sounds produced by ourvocal organs (speech) or by visual signs (writing). And these are 9______ among most striking of human achievements. 10_______二．English to Chinese.I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. We have before us an ordeal ofthe most grievous kind. We have before us many，many months of struggle and suffering. You ask，what is our aim？I can answer in one word，it is victory. Victory at all costsvictory in spiteof all terrors——victory，however long and hard the road may be，for without victory there is no survival. Let that be realized，no survival for the British Empire，no survival for all that British Empire has stood for ，no survival for the urge，the impulse of the ages，that mankind shall more forward toward his goal.I take up my task in buoyancy and hope. I feel sure that our cause will not be suffered to fail among men. I feel entitled at this juncture，at this time，to claim the aid of all and to say，“Come then，let us go forward together with our unitedstrength.”三．Chinese to English.中国民族自古以来从不把人看作高于一切，在哲学文艺方面的表现都反映出人在自然界中与万物占有比例较为恰当的地位，而非绝对统治万物的主宰。

The Celts, which lived 22,000 years ago in the area that is now Ireland, the United Kingdom,and northern France, celebrated its new year on November 1.This day marked the end of the summer and the harvest and 3the beginning of the dark, cold winter, a time of year that was often associated with human death. Celts believed that at the 4night before the new year, the boundary between the worlds of the live and the dead became blurred. On the night of October 531, they celebrated Samhain, when it believed that the ghosts 6of the dead returned to earth. In addiction to causing trouble and damaging crops, Celts thought that the presence of the other worldly spirits made it easier for the Druids, or Celtic Priest,make predictions about the future. For a people entirely dependent 7on the volatile natural world, these prophecies were an important source of fort and direction during the long, dark winter.To memorate the event, Druids built huge sacred bonfires,Which the people gathered to burn crops and animals as sacrifices 8to the Celtic deities. During thecelebration, the Celts wore costumes, typically consisted of animal heads and skins, and 9attempted to assume each other’s fortunes. When the celebration 10was over, they re-lit their hearth fires, which they had extinguished earlier that evening, from the sacred bonfire to help protect them during the ing winter.1.^to—back date back to 固定搭配，意为“追溯至”。
