Most of Mark Twain’s books bubbled out 1 him like water out of a fountain. 2 of his gifts was the capacity to take a scene and fill it 3 every sparkling detail of nature and of human action, to put in every spoken word and accompanying gesture, and to slowly exaggerate the successive moments 4 the whole episode reached a climax of joyous, sidesplitting laughter. 5 he had trouble weaving his incidents into meaningful plot patterns. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain’s masterpiece, came into __6 slowly. 7 in 1876, immediately after he had dashed off The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, he wrote 400 manuscript pages quickly and 8 stalled; in disgust he meditated 9 the work. __10 the winter of 1879-1880 he penned further sections; again the spark of enthusiasm died. __11 taking a journey down the Mississippi River in April, 1882, he quickly completed Lift on the Mississippi(1883) and with unabated zest 12 the novel. The trip had reawakened his boyhood memories and suggested new episodes; the two books became 13 , the weaker travel account serving as scaffolding for the great edifice.
__14 The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn was 15 in 1884, it met a mixed reception. A Brooklyn lady protested 16 its presence in the children’s room of the public library; the librarian reshelved the volume
in the adult area to 17 Huck’s and Tom’s “mischievous and deceitful practices which made them poor examples for youth.” Today the novel is among the world’s 18 and vies with Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter(1850) for the position of American’s _19 artistic work of fiction.
The reader is reminded at the outset that in 1850 Huck Finn had been
a playmate of Tom Sawyer in St. Petersburg, Missouri, the 20 name of Mark Twain’s native village of Hannibal. For three months Huck had lived with the lady 21 life he had saved, the Widow Douglas, “fair, smart, and forty”; her hill mansion was “the only palace in the town, and the most hospitable and much the most lavish in the matter of festivities” that the town could boast. The lad 22 had run away from elegance was again
a candidate for the major role in a rags-to-riches tale. Huck wanted it otherwise. Like Tom, whose name turns up throughout the __23 . Huck wanted adventure. For six months Huck endured starched clothes and virtual imprisonment within the mansion. When Pap returned on April 1 and took Huck 24 from the Widow, Huck came to prefer his slovenly island home.
25 against Pap’s cruelty led Huck to plan his own “murder” and to decamp about two months later. He discovered Jim 26 June 4 and started the rafting trip down the river on June 22. On July 7 he reached the Grangerfords and stayed __27 about a month. On August 10 the Duke and Dauphin came 28 the raft; their shenanigans ended at Pikeville on
September 18. The 29 at Aunt Sally’s lasted twen ty-six days, until October 15. Then Huck decided to light out for Indian Territory and forever depart from a “civilization” that he 30 .

Tommy Albelin, a Devils defenseman, was the team’s most effective performer the night the Stanley Cup champions played their best game of the young season. Playing left wing instead of defense against the Detroit Red Wings last Thursday night, Albelin scored the second goal of the game and made the pass that set up the fourth one.
Albelin played so well in the 4-2 victory that Coach Jacques Lemaire said, “Tommy, you lost your job.”
“I was kind of surprised,” Albelin said today. “When he saw the look on my face, he said very quickly ‘as a defenseman’ and I knew then he was joking.”
Lemaire had Albelin right back on defense in the next game, last Saturday’s 4-1 triumph over the Ottawa Senators. Albelin responded just as well, making the pass for the winning goal.
With Brian Rolston leaving today’s practice because of a foot problem and ready to join Bobby Holik and Bob Carpenter as injured Devils, look for Albelin to return to left wing when New Jersey plays the Vancouver Canucks Wednesday night at the Meadowlands.
This season, the 31-year-old Albelin has played left wing three times and defenseman four. In addition, because Albelin is so adept at skating and puck-handling, Lemaire has been using him for penalty killing and the power play.
“It’s a big advantage to have a player like him,” Lemaire said after today’s practice. “When you don’t have the necessary play er to play against a player, you can use Abbey because he adjusts very well. He listens to all the things I tell the defensemen and all the things I tell the forwards. “
Lemaire’s decision to shuttle Albelin is not prompted by a desire to find the best pos ition for him. Rather, it is testimony to Albelin’s versatility.
Albelin was used as a left wing for the first time by Herb Brooks, the man whom Lemaire replaced after Brooks resigned three summers ago, but he played only a handful of games in that position.
The Devils changed coaches frequently in Albelin’s early years with the team. As a result, Albelin contemplated returning home to Sweden several times. But he said today he was glad he never did.
Albelin came to the Devils from Quebec in 1988 and has been a solid player. Year after year, despite coaching changes, injuries and the presence of marquee names like Scott Stevens, Slava Fetisov, Stephane Richer and Claude Lemeiux, Albelin’s dedication and consummate professionalism have made him an integral part of the team.
“My philosophy has always been to play where the team needs me,” Albelin said. “I don’t question the decisions by the coaches. As long as I’m out there on the ice, I don’t care what position I play.”
Albelin has performed effectively at wing and on defense despite the different responsibilities. Judging by the way Albelin described them, it is clear he prefers to play defense.
“There are a lot of adjustments you have to make as a forward,” Albelin said, “You have to be a little more creative, do more things with the puck. Improvise somewhat, but to a point. As a defenseman, you can get by most of the time by giving the puck to your forwards and support the play.”
Albelin said today that the uncertainty over whether he will play defense or offense on any given night was not much of a concern in terms of preparing himself.
“I don’t mind as long as I know before the warm-ups,” he said.
61. Tommy Albelin is _______ defenseman.
A. Red Wings
B. Canucks
C. Devils
D. Brooks
62. Albelin has played defenseman _______ this season.
A. three times
B. four times
C. two times
D. five times
63. Coach Lemaire shuttles Albelin because he _______.
A. is versatile
B. is a solid player
C. is very dedicated
D. is docile
64. The Devils changed coaches frequently ________.
A. in the late 1980s
B. in Albelin’s years with the team
C. as many of them resigned
D. during Albelin’s stay in the team
65. Albelin prefers to play _________.
A. forward
B. left wing
C. defense
D. offense
66. Among the following titles, ________ is suitable for the article.
A. The Defenseman Albelin in Red Wings
B. The Best Player in Devils
C. The Versatile Albelin in Canucks
D. Versatile Albelin Brings Devil Victories

The effect of any writing on the public mind is mathematically measurable by its depth of thought. How much water does it draw? If it awaken you to think, if it lift you from your feet with the great voice of eloquence, then the effect is to be wide, slow, permanent, over the minds of men; if the pages instruct you not, they will die like flies in the hour. The way to speak and write what shall not go out of fashion is, to speak and write sincerely. The argument which has not power to reach my own practice, I may well doubt, will fail to reach yours. But take Sidney’s maxim: —“Look in thy heart, and write.” He that writes to himself writes to an eternal public. That statement only is fit to be made public, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy your own curiosity. The writer who takes his subject from his ear, and not from his heart, should know that he has lost as much as he seems to have gained, and when the empty book has gathered all its praise, and half the people say, “What poetry! What genius!” it still needs fuel to make fire. That only profits which is profitable. Life alone can impart life; and though we should burst, we can only be valued as we make ourselves valuable. There is no luck in literary reputation. They who make up the final verdict upon every book are not the partial and noisy readers of the hour when it appears; but a court as of angels, a public not to be bribed, not to be entreated, and not to be overawed, decides upon every man’s title to fame. Only those books come down which deserve to last. Gilt edges, vellum, and morocco, and presentation-copies to all the libraries, will not preserve a book in circulation beyond its intrinsic date. It must go with all Walpole’s Noble and Royal Authors to its fate. Blackmore, Kotzebue, or Pollok may endure for a night, but Moses and Homer stand forever. There are not in the world at any one time more than a dozen persons who read and understand Plato: — never enough to pay for an edition of his works; yet to every generation these come duly down, for the sake of those few persons, as if God brought them in his hand. “No book,” said Bentley, “was ever written down by any but itself.” The permanence of all books is fixed by no effort friendly or hostile, but by their own specific gravity, or
the intrinsic importance of their contents to the constant mind of man. “Do not trouble yourself too much about the light on your statue,” said Michelangelo to the young sculptor; “the light of the public square will test its value.”
In like manner the effect of every action is measured by the depth of the sentiment from which it proceeds. The great man knew not that he was great. It took a century or two for that fact to appear. What he did, he did because he must; it was the most natural thing in the world, and grew out of the circumstances of the moment. But now, every thing he did, even to the lifting of his finger or the eating of bread, looks large, all-related, and is called an institution.
67. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT _________.
A. Only the thing that is profitable profits.
B. If the pages do not instruct you, they will not die like flies in
the hour.
C. Only the statement, which you have come at in attempting to satisfy
your reader’s curiosity, is fit to be made public.
D. He that writes by himself writes to an eternal public.
68. “How much water does it draw?” means__________.
A. How much content does it have?
B. How much influence does it exert?
C. How much value does it have?
D. How important is it?
69. A writer’s fame is decided upon by __________.
A. partial and noisy readers
B. a court of angels
C. an angel-like public not to be bribed
D. a public to be bribed
70. At any time in the world Plato’s work are read and understood by
__________.
A. less than a dozen persons
B. more than a dozen persons
C. many people
D. no one
71. The permanence of all books is fixed by__________.
A. no effort
B. friendly effort
C. hostile effort
D. their own specific gravity

Psychologists study memory and learning with both animal and human subjects. The two experiments reviewed here show how short-term memory has been studied.
Hunter studied short-term memory in rats. He used a special apparatus which had a cage for the rat and three doors. There was a light in each door. First the rat was placed in the closed cage. Next one of the lights was turned on and then off. There was food for the rat only at this door. After the light was turned off, the rat had to wait a short time before it was released from its cage. Then, if it went to the correct door, it was rewarded with the food that was there. Hunters did this experiment many times. He always turned on the lights in a random order. The rat had to wait different intervals before it was released from the cage. Hunter found that if the rat had to wait more than ten seconds, it could not remember the correct door. Hunter’s results show that rats have a short-term memory of about ten seconds.
Henning studied how students who are learning English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 students at the University of California in Los Angeles. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students.
To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Some of them had four unrelated choices. For instance, weather, method, love, result could be used as four unrelated words. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.
Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advanced students hold the meaning of words in their shot-term memory.
72. In hunter’s experiment, the rat had to remember_________.
A. where the food was
B. how to leave the cage
C. how big the cage was
D. which light was turned on
73. Hunter found that rats_________.
A. can remember only where their food is
B. cannot learn to go to the correct door
C. have no short-term memory
D. have a short-term memory of one-sixth a minute
74. Henning tested the students’ memory of _________.
A. words copied several times
B. words explained
C. words heard
D. words seen
75. Henning concluded that beginning and advanced students________.
A. have no difficulty holding words in their short-term memory
B. differ in the way they retain words
C. have much difficulty holding words in their short-term memory
D. hold words in their short-term memory in the same way
76. The following statements are wrong EXCEPT_________.
A. The rat could find the correct door when the light of the next door
was turned off
B. The rat could find the correct door to get the food whenever it was
released from its cage
C. Each of the three doors had a light that was turned on
D. The rat could remember where to find the food if it waited for less
than ten seconds
Text D
A Frenchman, the psychologist Alfred Binet, published the first standardized test of human intelligence in 1905. But it was an American, Lewis Terman, a psychology professor at Stanford, who thought to divide a test taker’s “mental age”, as revealed by that score, by his or her chro nological age to derive a number that he called the “intelligence quotient”, or IQ. It would be hard to think of a pop-scientific coinage
that has had a greater impact on the way people think about themselves and others.
No country embraced the IQ – and the application of IQ testing to restructure society –more thoroughly than the U.S. Every year millions of Americans have their IQ measured, many with a direct descendant of Binet’s original test, the Standford-Binet, although not necessarily for the purpose Binet intended. He developed his test as a way of identifying public school students who needed extra help in learning, and that is still one of its leading uses.
But the broader and more controversial use of IQ testing has its roots in a theory of intelligence – part science, part sociology – that developed in the late 19th century, before Binet’s work and entirely separate from it. Championed first by Charles Darwin’s cousin Francis Galton, it held that intelligence was the most valuable human attribute, and that if people who had a lot of it could be identified and put in leadership positions, all of society would benefit.
Terman believed IQ tests should be used to conduct a great sorting out of the population, so that young people would be assigned on the basis of their scores to particular levels in the school system, which would lead to corresponding socioeconomic destinations in adult life. The beginning of the IQ-testing movement overlapped with the eugenics movement –hugely popular in America a nd Europe among the “better sort” before Hitler gave it a bad name –which held that intelligence was mostly inherited and that people-deficient in it should be discouraged from reproducing. The state sterilization that Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes notoriously endorsed in a 1927 Supreme Court decision was done with an IQ score as justification.
The American IQ promoters scored a great coup during World War I when they persuaded the Army to give IQ tests to 1.7 million inductees. It was the world’s first m ass administration of an intelligence test, and many of the standardized tests in use today can be traced back to it: the now ubiquitous and obsessed-over SAT (Study Ability Test); the Wechler, taken by several million people a year, according to its publisher; and Terman’s own National Intelligence Test, originally used in tracking elementary school children. All these tests took from the Army the basic technique of measuring intelligence mainly by asking vocabulary questions (synonyms, antonyms, analogies, reading comprehension).
77. According to Terman’s theory, a twelve-year-old boy’s mental age
is 10, then his IQ number is about __________.
A. 0.8
B. 0.9
C. 1.0
D. 1.2
78. IQ test is originally used to ___________.
A. find out the students who need extra help in learning
B. assign young people to different majors
C. select the acceptable recruits for army
D. select the leaders for society
79. The viewpoint that intelligence was mostly inherited and people
deficient in intelligence should be discouraged from reproducing was held by ___________.
A.IQ-testing movement
B. Eugenic movement
C.Hitler
D.both IQ-testing and Eugenic movements
80. What does the author probably mean by “scored a great coup” (see
Para. 5)?
A. Failed
B. Succeeded
C. Criticized
D. Advocated
Text E
Historical developments of the past half century and the invention of modern telecommunication and transportation technologies have created a world economy. Effectively the American economy has died and been replaced by a world economy.
In the future, there is no such thing as being an American manager. Even someone who spends an entire management career in Kansas City is in international management. He or she will compete with foreign firms, buy from foreign firms, sell to foreign films, or acquire financing from foreign banks.
The globalization of the world’s capital markets that has occurred in the past 10 years will be replicated right across the economy in the next decade. An international perspective has become central to management. Without it managers are operating in ignorance and cannot understand what is happening to them and their firms.
Partly because of globalization and partly because of demography, the work forces of the next century are going to be very different from those of the last century. Most firms will be employing more foreign nationals. More likely than not, you and your boss will not be of the same nationality. Demography and changing social mores mean that white males will become a small fraction of the work force as women and minorities grow in importance. All of these factors will require changes in the traditional methods of managing the work force.
In addition, the need to produce goods and services at quality levels previously thought impossible to obtain in mass production and the spreading use of participatory management techniques will require a work force with much higher levels of education and skills. Production workers must be able to do statistical quality control; production workers must be able to do just in-time inventories. Managers are increasingly shifting from a “don’t think, do what you are told” to a “think, I am not going to tell you what to do” style of management.
Th is shift is occurring not because today’s managers are more enlightened than yesterday’s managers but because the evidence is rapidly mounting that the second style of management is more productive than the first style of management. But this means that problems of training and motivating the work force both become more central and require different modes of behaviour.
In the word of tomorrow managers cannot be technologically illiterate regardless of their functional tasks within the firm. They don’t have to be scientists or engineers inventing new technologies, but they have to be managers who understand when to bet and when not to bet on new technologies. If they don’t understand what is going on and technology effectively becomes a black box, they will fail to make the changes that those who do understand what is going on inside the black box make. They will be losers, not winners.
Today’s CEOs are those who solved the central problems facing their companies 20 years ago. Tomorrow’s CEOs will be those w ho solve central problems facing their companies today. Sloan hopes to produce a generation of managers who will be solving today’s and tomorrow’s problems and because they are successful in doing so they will become tomorrow’s captains of business.
81. The author suggests that a manger should hold a _________ view on
management.
A. economical
B. geographical
C. international
D. financial
82. Speaking of the problems of training and motivating labourers, the
author implies that __________.
A. labourers should keep up with the rapid development of modern
technology.
B. labourers pay more attention to wages.
C. labourers want to advance themselves
D. there is a radical change in management style.
83. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. Globalization and demography lead to the differences between the
work forces of the last century and those of the next century.
B. At present, white males make up only a small proportion of work
forces in American firms.
C. In the next century, women and minorities will become the major
part of work forces in the United States.
D. The need to produce goods and services at quality levels previously
will call for a work force with much higher levels of education and skills.

（第一篇） S.W.O.T. Analysis In modern strategic management and planning, SWOT analysis is a widely known diagnostic tool. SWOT analysis refers to understanding the strength and weakness of the competitors relative to oneself, and realising the opportunities and threats that the environment may impact on one's business. Interestingly, SWOT analysis was already advocated by Sun Tzu more than 2,000 years ago when he said : "Know your enemy, know yourself, and your victory will not be threatened. Know the weather, know the terrain, and your victory will be complete. In fact, "know your enemy, know yourself" is probably the most well-known phrase in Sun Tzu's Art of War. It is also the most cited phrase. Even Mao Tse-tung was known to say, " Know your enemy, know yourself; hundred battles, hundred won". Similarly, many Japanese samurai warriors in the past had quoted aspects of this particular famous phrase by Sun Tzu. In my lectures to executives around the world, I have often used this phrase to argue that what we now commonly called SWOT analysis is not a modern "invention" from the Western world. Rather, it originated in China more than 2,000 years ago. It is a pity that the Chinese have not been able to exploit the wisdom that underlies this saying by Sun Tzu. Let me explain. "Know your enemy, know yourself" is tantamount to knowing one's strengths and weaknesses relative to those whom we are fighting against (e.g. the competitors, in the case of business). Similarly, "Know the weather, know the terrain" is tantamount to knowing the opportunities and threats posed by the environment. They are the external or uncontrollable factors. Interestingly, in business we also have such external factors that affect the way we do things. For example, we often talk about the business climate (the weather) and the physical or infrastructural factors (the terrain), and how they can impact on the conduct of business. Thus, while it is very apparent that while the

II 作文 Genius without education is like silver in the mine. 要求：1、破题；2、立意；3、论证 III 英译汉 FEAR OF VERBS Blair, too, is singled out as a king of language corruption. Humphrys notes Blair's apparent fear of verbs and mocks his speeches, which are peppered with verbless phrases like "new challenges, new ideas," or "for our young people, a brighter future" and "the age of achievement, at home and abroad." By using this technique, Humphrys says, Blair is simply evading responsibility. "The point about verbs is that they commit the speaker," he writes. "Verbs cement sentences to their meaning so it's not surprising that politicians tend to mistrust them." Humphrys also blames institutions like the European Union and the world's media for the decline in standards of English. He laments the inclusion of such words as "pertannually" in the proposed EU constitution -- and despairs that when concerns were raised, the word was replaced with "insubdurience." He urges the public, and journalists in particular, to reject meaningless phrases and to demand they are explained. "When you get enough people pointing it out, the public starts to spot what is going on," he says. "That's why the battle has to be fought." "We should expect -- and should demand -- that when people are setting out policies or trying to persuade us of something, they engage in proper debate and don't simply give us a set of unchangeable propositions." 汉译英 语言是活的，随时在变，字义以及句法等等都在变。我们现代所认为不合文法的词句，往往正是二三百年前大家通用的英文。不用说二三百年，三五十年间就可能有显著的变化。所以“标准的英文”是很难讲的。每一时代有其不同的标准，拿五十年前甚至一百年前的文法书来衡量现代的英文，实在是自寻烦恼的事。

商务英语毕业论文Prepared on 21 November 2021
上虞分院毕业论文(调研报告、设计) （2016届） （中英文化差异对商务英语翻译的影响）学生姓名史斌 学号1320336 专业班级商英133 指导教师王海英 二○一六年三月 中英文化差异对商务英语翻译的影响 摘要 翻译是两种语言的转换，也是两种文化的传递。由于中外文化在各个方面存在很大的差异，在商务活动中也不例外。作者我联系实际从风俗习惯、宗教信仰、商务谈判和个人价值观上来分析文化差异对商务英语翻译的影响。 关键词文化差异；翻译；影响 1风俗习惯对商务英语翻译的影响 在社会生活和文化交流中，不同的国家会在这个过程中形成自己独一无二的风俗习惯。中外在这个方面的差异是多方面的。 1.1对待动物上的差异 列如在对待狗的态度上面。在中国，“狗”这个词不管是对人还是对事都是形容坏的、不好的，列如说某人是狗东西，那就是在骂这个人是没良心，或者某人遇到狗急跳墙的事情那就说明这件事情不好。在中国还有很多带有“狗”字的成语，像鸡飞狗跳、狐朋狗友、狼心狗肺等等都是形容不好的事或者人，总之“狗”在中国大多数都是贬义
的。但是在英国，他们对狗都很有好感，他们有很多赞美人的话里面都带有“狗”字，列如“luckydog”(幸运儿)、“topdog”(重要的人物)，“loveme,lovemydog”(爱屋及乌)等等。在他们国家“狗”这个词大多数情况都是褒义的。同时日本人对“狗”也很有好感，着名的《忠犬八公》就发生在日本，为此日本不仅对它拍了电影还为它树立了雕像来纪念八公。再还有中外对老虎与狮子上不同的反应。在中国老虎用来比喻“勇猛威武”，列如狐假虎威、虎踞龙盘等等但是在英语中把汉语中的“虎”用“lion”来表示而不是“tiger”。在西方，狮子才是力量和好战勇猛的象征而并非老虎，如“boldasalion”(如狮子般勇猛)、“majesticasalion”(如狮子般威风凛凛)等等。甚至连中国的俗语“老虎屁股摸不得”对应的英语翻译却是“donotbearthelion”(不要挑逗狮子)。英国人还以“lion”作为自己国家的象征，他们把勇猛无畏的英王查理一世喻为“lion-hearted”（狮心)，史称“狮心查理王”，[1]而不用“tiger”。 1.2对待颜色上的差异 在对待红色上，中外有很多的差异。由于人的血液是红色，以前人们认为血是人的根本，所以在西方人眼中，红色是属于禁忌的颜色。不仅如此在圣经中夏娃吃的禁果就是红苹果。西方人还用红色作为警告色，警告他人不能使用或者不能通行等等。当初的翻译文学巨着《红楼梦》的时候，着名汉语学家霍克斯就意识到了“red”可能使不了解《红楼梦》的西方读者以为这是一本弥漫“血腥”、“暴力”的小说而把本书名翻译为“storyofthestone”。[2]但是在中国却恰恰相反，中国人认为红色是激励人积极向上的力量，列如我们的五星国旗，少先队员的红领巾，还有抗战的红军。当然，在中国红色还代表喜庆，从古时候新娘头上盖红盖头还是现在对联用红纸，发红鸡蛋等等都说明红色是喜庆的颜色。说完了红色那就是白色了，西方人认为白色是圣洁的象征，列如在西方新娘结婚会穿纯白的婚纱，新郎会穿白衬衫。他们还会用白色去装饰他们的耶稣（西方的神）等等。然而在中国白色则代表丧事。列如胸口佩戴白花就说明这家死了人，还有清明上坟用白菊花去祭奠逝者等等。白色在中外文化上有不同的意义。 2宗教信仰对商务英语翻译的影响 不同的宗教信仰会对人产生不同的影响。它不仅会影响一个人的意识还会影响一个人的行为。中外具有不同的宗教信仰，这些不同的宗教信仰与他们的文化相互融合，使他们之间存在很大的差异。 中国文化博大精深，源远流长，在我国传统文化中，道教和佛教是当代最盛行的。因此就会有“玉帝、观音、哪吒、李靖、女娲”等词汇出现。但西方人大多数信奉基督
