Top Soloist or "Trained Seal"?
The chubby eleven-year-old had just arrived in famed Carnegie Hall. He was to appear as violin soloist with the New York Symphony Orchestra. On his way from the stage entrance to the artist's room, he saw a large fire ax on a wall. "What's that for?" he asked a guard.
"To chop the heads oof the soloists who don't play well," was the reply.
"And how many heads have you already cut off?"
"Oh, quite a few."said the guard, with a friendly wink.
Some in the audience that night—especially the music critics—expected the boy's head to roll. He was to play a difficult violin concerto by Beethoven. Critics felt that this great piece should be attempted only by a mature artist. For a child, the complicated fingering would be impossible, they added.
It was November 25, 1927. That night Carnegie Hall was packed. All eyes in the audience watched for Yehudi Menuhin, the eleven-year-old violin soloist, to appear on the stage. When the kettledrum anounced the opening of the concerto, Yehudi stood calmly, so absorbed in the music that some people feared he would not come in on time. But, with only seconds to spare, he adjusted his violin and raised his bow. At the great singing tone that filled the hall, there was a gasp, a slight stirring—and then a deep hush.
It was only during the most difficult part of the concerto, when the soloist played alone, that the audience once more realized that a child was playing. Listeners marveled at his pure tone, expert fingering and wonderful trills. A burst of applause almost stopped the concert. But Yehudi played on, bringing everyone's attention back to Beethoven's great music.
At the end of the concerto, people shouted and yelled, many with tears in their eyes. The men in the orchestra rose and joined in the noise.
At this point Yehudi looked like the young boy he was. Catching sight of Persinger, he dragged his teacher onto the stage, pointing at him and clapping his own hands. Still the applause went on.
Even the newspaper critics stayed on to applaud Yehudi. He had to appear on stage in his coat, cap in hand, before at last the audience let him go home.
Next morning, music critic Olin Downes wrote in the New York Times:" I had come to the hall convinced that a child could play the violin no more effectively than a trained seal. I left knowing that there is such a thing as a great artist who begins at an early age..."
Time, and Yehudi Menuhin, have proved the critic right.
41. The guard was ___________ when he told Yehudi about the fire ax.
A. serous
B. joking
C. cheating
D. anxious
42. Why did come people expect Yehudi Menuhin's "head to roll"?
A. Because he wasn't very good.
B. Because he didn't know what the fire ax was for.
C. Because they were not fond of Beethoven's music.
D. Because they thought he was too young to play that piece of music
43. Why did the audience appreciate Yehudi's performance?
A. Because news of his talent had spread.
B. Because they liked the piece of music he chose to perform.
C. Because he played the concerto beautifully.
D. Because he was only a little boy of eleven.
44. From this article we may infer that _______.
A. Yehudi was quite at ease on the stage
B. Yehudi was a little bit nervous before the audience
C. Yehudi was afraid he would prove a failure
D. Yehudi was trying to show off his talent
45. Which of the following is NOT true?

C. The moment he appeared on the stage he was greeted with applause.

Living a Long Life
In the Caucasus region of the Soviet Union, nearly 50 out of every 100,000 people live to celebrate their100th birthday, and many don't stop at 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100! By comparison, in America only 3 people in 100,000 reach 100. But these Soviet old people are't alone. The Pakistani Hunzas, who live high in the Himalaya Mountains, and the Vilcabambans of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador seem to share the secret of long life too.
These people remain healthy in body and spirit despite the passage of time. While many older persons in industrial societies become weak and ill in their 60s and 70s, some Soviet Georgians, aged 110 to 140, work in the fields beside their great-great-grandchildren. Even the idea of aging is foreign to them. When asked, "At what age does youth end?" most of these old people had no answer. Several replied, "Well, perhaps at age 80." The very youngest estimate was age 60.
What accounts for this ability to survive to such old age, and survive so well? First of all, hard physical work is a way of life for all of these long-lived peoples. They begin their long days of physical labour as children and never seem to stop. For example, Mr. Rustam Mamedov is 142 years of age. He remembers his life experiences: the Crimean War of 1854; the Turkish War of 1878; the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917. His wife is 116 years years. They have been married for 90 years. Mr. Mamedov has no intentions of retiring from his life as a farmer. "Why? What else would I do?" he asks. Oh, he's slowed down a bit. Now he might quit for the day after 6 hours in the field instead of 10.
All these people get healthful rewards from the environment in which they work. They all come from mountainous regions. They live and work at elevations of 5,000 to 12,000 feet(1,660 to 4,000 metres) above sea level. The air has less oxygen and is pollution-free. This reduced oxygen environment makes the heart and blood vessel system stronger.
Another factor that may contribute to the good health of these people is their isolation. To a great extent, they are separated from the pressure and worries of industrial society.
Inherited factors also play some role. Most of the longest-lived peoples had parents
and grandparents who also reached very old ages. Good family genes may, therefore, be one factor in living longer.
Finally, although these three groups don't eat exactly the same foods, their diets are similar. The Hunzas, Vilcabambans, and Soviets eat little animal meat. Their diets are fullof fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, grains, cheese, and milk. They never eat more food than their bodies need.
It is clear that isolation from urban pressure and pollution, clean mountain air, daily hard work, moderate diets, good genes, and a youthful approach to life all contribute to the health and remarkable long life of all these people.
46. What is the main idea of this article?
A. Mr Mamedov's life.
B. Adescription of several societies where people live a long life.
C. Factors contributing to the health and long life of people.
D. People in the world enjoying a longer life.
47. The first paragraph __________.
A. introduces the subject of this article
B. tells why Americans don't live as long as other people
C. tells you some secrets about the Hunzas
D. shows only people in the Caucasus region enjoy a long life
48. "The idea of aging is foreign to them" implies that _________.
A. they don't care much about their age.
B. they would rather not tell their age.
C. they won't say anything about their age.
D.the idea of whether they are getting old has never occurred to them.
49. The description of Mr. Mamedov ________.
A. implies his intention of retiring from his life as a farmer
B. shows how he has survived the wars
C. is an example of a typical life among these people
D. tells of the importance of doing hard physical work
50. What's the author's view of "isolation"?
A. It makes people healthy, wealthy and gay.
B. It is one of the factors that contributes to one's long life.
C. It separates people from urban pressures and worries.
D. It is only found in mountainous regions.

A Sound Sleeper
According to Andrew, it never would have happened if he had not had a flat tire on Highway
10 last night at about 7:30. He was on his way to Beaver Creek to attend a three-day sales meeting when he had the flat. Unfortunately, he did not have a spare, so he pushed the car off the road, locked it up, and managed to thumb a ride back to Pine Grove. It was after eleven o'clock when he finally got home, and it was then that his real problems started.
When Andrew left home at about 5:30, he had told his wife not to expect him back until Thursday or Friday. Knowing that his wife was nervous about staying in the house alone at night, Andrew took the precaution of checking all the windows in the house to be sure they were locked, so that he could report to his wife that the house was secure. He convinced his wife that the house was burglar-proof, and that she would be perfectly safe, providing she bolted the front door as soon as he drove away.
Andrew's only thought as he made his way in the dark to his front door was how surprised his wife was going to be to see him, since he was not surposed to be back until Thursday or Friday. He had forgotten about the bolt on the front door. When he turned his key in the lock and the door wouldn't budge, he remembered the bolt. And he remembered that he had carefully locked all of the windows.
Although Andrew didn't know it at the time, a next-door neighbor had seen him approaching the house and had watched him go up the steps to the front door. In the dark, it was impossible for the neighbor to recognize Andrew, and, besides, the neighbor knew that Andrew had gone out-of-the-town for a three-day meeting. As a matter of fact, Andrew had asked the neighbor to keep an eye on the house while he was gone.
Finding that he couldn't get in by the front door, and knowing that there was no possibility of getting in through a window, Andrew began pounding on the front door to get his wife to open the door. According to Andrew, however, his wife is a very sound sleeper, and he knew it was going to be hard to wake her up. In the meantime, because of all the noise he had been making, the neighbor was convinced that somebody was trying to break into the house; so she called the police.
When we talked to Andrew at the country jail this morning, he said that he still didn't understand how the police managed to circle the house without his seeing them. He stated that he had decided the only way to get in was to break one of the dining room windows, and that he was about to hurl his briefcase into the window to break it when two of the officers grabbed him from behind.
Andrew could not make the officers believe that he lived there; so they took him off to jail. Apparently, he did succeed in convincing them that they ought to wake up the woman in the house to check his story. But there was no answer when they knocked at the door. He tried to explain to them that his wife was a very sound sleeper, but they concluded there was nobody in the house.
41. As Andrew had a flat tire on the way he _________.
A. had to take another car to attend the meeting

The Door Swings Open
Nowadays, with women playing an ever-increasing role in all kinds of careers and professions, it is difficult to understand that there was a time when no medical school would accept a woman. They all said that only a man could be a doctor. An American, Elizabeth Blackwell, was determined to become the first woman doctor in the world. After a great deal of delay and opposition, she received, to her great surprise, a letter from the Dean of Geneva College informing her that she had been accepted.
Much later, Elizabeth discovered what had actually happened when her application had been received by the College authorities. None of them wanted to have a woman student, but they did not wish to offend the influential Philadelphia doctor who had recommended her, so they hit on the expedient of turning the decision over to the students' general meeting. They were quite certain that this would result in this alarming idea being turned down. But when the student body met, many of them thought it would be amusing to be the only medical college in the country which would boast that it was training some sort of Amazon as a woman doctor. Some genuinely believed that women should be treated equally, while others thought of the whole thing as a joke. So the vote in favour was carried unanimously, and the College authorities found, with dismay, that they would now have to admit Elizabeth.
A few days after receiving the notification of her acceptance, Elizabeth was on the train for the two-day journey to Geneve College..
Her entry into the medical school there could hardly have been more nerve-racking. The Dean asked her to follow him on to the platform and formally introduced her to the assembled students. Fifty years later an elderly doctor, who was a student at the College at the time, recalled the scene. "The class, numbering about 150 students, was composed largely of young men from the neighbouring towns.They were rude, boisterous, and riotous beyond comparison. On several occasions the residents of the neighbourhood sent written protests to the College threatening to have the College indicated as a nuisance if the disturbances did not cease. During lectures it was often almost impossible to hear the professor owing to the confusion." He
goes on to describe the dramatic moment when Elizabeth was introduced. The students had heard no more about her after they had sent their decision to the College two or three weeks previously, so her introduction was a complete surprise.
"One morning, all unexpectedly, a lady entered the lecture-room with the professor, she was quite small of stature, plainly dressed, appeared diffident and retiring but had a firm and determined expression on her face. Her entry into the Bedlam of confusion acted like magic on every student. Each hurriedly sought his seat, and the utmost silence prevailed. For the first time a lecture was given without the slightest interruption, and every word could be heard as distinctly as it would be if there had been but a single person in the room. The sudden transformation of this class from a band of lawless desperadoes to gentlemen by the mere presence of a lady, proved to be permanent in its effects."
46. Medical schools at one time refused to accept women because ____.
A. they considered women unfit to practice medicine
B. heads of medical schools are all men
C. men are superior to women
D. only men knew how to deal with disease

D. Most students supported the emancipation of women.
49. The College authorities ________.
A. could not make up their minds
B. thought that the students would accept her
C. wanted to evade responsibility for refusing her application
D. disagreed among themselves
50. "The vote in favor was carried unanimously" tells us that ______.

B. nobody voted against the proposal
C. a majority voted in favour of her admission
D. the vote was taken without delay

Most young people enjoy some form of physical activity. It may be walking, bicycling, or swimming, or in water, skating or skiing. It may be a game of some 51 of football, hockey, golf or tennis. It may be mountaineering.

2013-2014学年第二学期 华侨大学法学院期末考试试卷 考试科目：法律英语考核类型：A卷考试时间：120 分钟 学号姓名授课教师骆旭旭 (注意：所有的答案（包括选择题）应做在空白答题纸上) Exercise 1: Translate the following sentence into Chinese.(30%) The dominant purpose in starting the public enterprises had been public good and profit motive was secondary; however, of late the scenario has changed. With the liberalisation of markets the public undertakings are in direct competition with the private players and have to have profit motive in mind. If not, there have been criticisms by industry on the unequal treatment meted out to the private players. Here it is important to note the definition of "enterprise" under the Competition Act. It makes no distinction between a private and a public enterprise/undertaking. In fact it even includes a department of the Government which does not perform a "sovereign function". Functionally, the public undertakings have been broadly classified into four heads: ?Financial Institutions, such as Life Insurance Corporation of India, Reserve Bank of India, Export Credit and Guarantee Corporation Ltd, Film Finance Corporation Ltd, Unit Trust of India, Industrial Reconstruction Bank, etc. ?Promotional and Development Undertakings, such as Rehabilitation Housing Corporation Ltd, National Research Development Corporation Ltd, Food Corporation of India, Central Warehousing Corporation, National Small Industries Corporation Ltd, etc. ?Commercial and Industrial Undertakings, such as State Trading Corporation, Hindustan Machine Tools Ltd, Indian Airlines Corporation, Air India, etc. ?Public Utilities are those undertakings which render certain essential services to the people, like transportation, electricity, communications, energy, etc. The objective of such undertakings is to provide services to the community economically and efficiently and making profit is not the primary aim.
