环球时代2013英语专业考研翻译题（一）1. Translate the passage into Chinese (50 points)In the course of a December tour in Yorkshire, I rode for a long distance in one of the public coaches on the day preceding Christmas. The coach was crowded, both inside and out, with passengers who, by their talk, seemed principally bound to the mansions of relations or friends to eat the Christmas dinner. It was loaded also with hampers of game, and baskets and boxes of delicacies, and hares hung dangling their long ears about the coachman’s box, presents from distant friends for the impending feast. I had three fine rosy-cheeked school boys for my fellow-passengers inside, full of the buxom health and manly spirit which I have observed in the children of this country. They were returning home for the holidays in high glee, and promising themselves a world of enjoyment. It was delightful to hear the gigantic plans of the little rogues, and the impracticable feats they were to perform during their six weeks’ emancipation from the abho rred thraldom of book, birch, and pedagogue.They were full of anticipations of the meeting with the family and household, down to the very cat and dog, and of the joy they were to give their little sisters by the presents with which their pockets were crammed; but the meeting to which they seemed to look forward with the greatest impatience was with Bantam, which I found to be a pony, and, according to their talk, possessed of more virtues than any steed since the days of Bucephalus. How he could trot! How he could run! And then such leaps as he would take!—there was not a hedge in the whole country that he could not clear.They were under the particular guardianship of the coachman, to whom, whenever an opportunity presented, they addressed a host of questions, and pronounced him one of the best fellows in the world. Indeed, I could not but notice the more than ordinary air of bustle and importance of the coachman, who wore his hat a little on one side and had a large bunch of Christmas greens stuck in the buttonhole of his coat. He is always a personage full of mighty care and business, but he is particularly so during this season, having so many commissions to execute in consequence of the great interchange of presents…Perhaps it might be owing to the pleasing serenity that reigned in my own mind that I fancied I saw cheerfulness in every countenance throughout the journey. A stage-coach, however, carries animation always with it, and puts the world in motion as it whirls along. The horn, sounded at the entrance of the village, produces a general bustle. Some hasten forth to meet friends; some with bundles and bandboxes to secure places and in the hurry of the moment can hardly take leave of the group that accompanies them. In the meantime the coachman has a world of small commissions to execute. Sometimes he delivers a hare or pheasant; sometimes jerks a small parcel or newspaper to the door of a public house; and sometimes, with knowing leer and words of sly import, hands to some half-blushing, half-laughing housemaid an odd-shaped billet-doux from some rustic admirer. As the coach rattles through the village, every one runs to the window, and you have glances on every side of fresh country faces and blooming giggling girls. At the corners are assembled juntos of village idlers and wise men, who take their stations there for the important purpose of seeing company pass; but the sagest knot is generally at the blacksmith’s, to whom the passing of the coach is an event fruitful of much speculation.2.Translate the passage into English (50 points)红海上的一幕太阳做完了竟日普照的事业，在万物送别他的时候，他还显出十分的壮丽。

Nick sat down on the bundle of canvas and bedding the baggage man had pitched out of the door of the baggage car. There was no town, nothing but the rails and the burned-over country. The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire, it was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground. Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there. It swirled against the log spires of the bridge. Nick looked down into the clear, brown water, colored from the pebbly bottom, and watched the trout keeping themselves steady in the current with wavering fins. As he watched them they changed their positions again by quick angles, only to hold steady in the fast water again. Nick watched them a long time. He watched them holding themselves with their noses into the current, many trout in deep, fast moving water, slightly distorted as he watched far down through theglassy convex surface of the pool its surface pushing and swelling smooth against the resistance of the log-driven piles of the bridge. At the bottom of the pool were the big trout. Nick did not see them at first. Then he saw them at the bottom of the pool, big trout looking to hold themselves on the gravel bottom in a varying mist of gravel and sand, raised in spurts by the current. Nick looked down into the pool from the bridge. It was a hot day. A kingfisher flew up the stream. It was a long time since Nick had looked into a stream and seen trout. They were very satisfactory. As the shadow of the kingfisher moved up the stream, a big trout shot upstream in a long angle, only his shadow marking the angle, then lost his shadow as he came through the surface of the water, caught the sun, and then, as he went back into the stream under the surface, his shadow seemed to float down the stream with the current unresisting, to his post under the bridge where he tightened facing up into the current. Nick"s heart tightened as the trout moved. He felt all the old feeling. He turned and looked down the stream. It stretched away, pebbly-bottomed with shallows and big boulders and a deep pool as it curved away around the foot of a bluff.… From the time he had gotten down off the train and the baggage man had thrown his pack out of the open car door things had been different. Seney was burned, the country was burned over and changed, but it did not matter. It could not all be burned. He hiked along the road, sweating in the sun, climbing to cross the range of hills that separated the railway from the pine plains.… As he smoked his legs stretched out in front of him, he noticed a grasshopper walk along the ground and up onto his woolen sock. The grasshopper was black. As he had walked along the road, climbing, he had started grasshoppers from with dust. They were all black. They were not the big grasshoppers with yellow and black or red and black wings whirring out from their black wing sheathing as they fly up. These were just ordinary hoppers, but all a sooty black in color. Nick had wondered about them as he walked without really thinking about them. Now, as he watched the black hopper that was nibbling at the wool of his sock with its fourway lip he realized that they had all turned black from living in the burned-over land. He realized that the fire must have come the year before, but the grasshoppers were all black now. He wondered how long they would stay that way. Carefully he reached his hand down and took hold of the hopper by the wings. He turned him up, all his legs walking in the air, and looked at his jointed belly. Yes, it was black too, iridescent where the back and head were dusty. "Go on, hopper," Nick said, speaking out loud for the first time. "Fly away somewhere. He tossed the grasshopper up into the air and watched him sail away to a charcoal stump across the road.… The ground rose, wooded and sandy, to overlook the meadow, the stretch of river and the swamp. Nick dropped his pack and rod case and looked for a level piece of ground. He was very hungry and he wanted to make his camp before he cooked. Between two jack pines, the ground was quite level. He took the ax out of the pack and chopped out two projecting roots. That leveled a piece of ground large enough to sleep on. He smoothed out the sandy soil with his hand and pulled all the sweet fern bushes by their roots. His hands smelled good from the sweet fern. He smoothed the uprooted earth. He did not want anything making lumps under the blankets. When he had the ground smooth, he spread his blankets. One he folded double, next to the ground. The other two he spread on top. With the ax he slit off a bright slab of pine from one of the stumps and split it into pegs for the tent. He wanted them long and solid to hold in the ground. With the tern unpacked and spread on the ground, the pack, leaning against a jack pine, looked much smaller. Nick tied the rope that served the tent for a ridgepole to the trunk of one of the pine trees and pulled the tent up off the ground with the other end of the rope and tied it to the other pine. The tent hung on the rope like a canvas blanket on a clothesline. Nick poked a pole he had cut up under the back peak of the canvas and then made it a tent by pegging out the sides. He pegged the sides out taut and drove the pegs deep, hiring them down into the ground with the flat of the ax until the rope loops were buried and the canvas was drum tight. Across the open mouth of the tent Nick fixed cheesecloth to keep out mosquitoes. He trawled inside under the mosquito bar with various things from the pack to put at the head of the bed under the slant of the canvas. Inside the tent the light came through the brown canvas. It smelled pleasantly of canvas. Already there was something mysterious and homelike. Nick was happy as he crawled inside the tent. He had not been unhappy all day. This was different though. Now things were done. There had been this to do. Now it was done. It had been a hard trip. He was very tired. That was done. He had made his camp. He was settled. Nothing could touch him. It was a good place to camp. He was there, in the good place. He was in his home where he had made it. Now he was hungry. Nick was hungry. He did not believe he had ever been hungrier. He opened and emptied a can at pork and beans and a can of spaghetti into the flying pan. " I"ve got a right to eat this kind of stuff, if I"m willing to carry it, " Nick said. His voice sounded strange in the darkening woods. He did not speak again. Nick drove another big nail and hung up the bucket full of water. He dipped the coffee pot half full, put some more chips under the grill onto the fire and put the pot oil. He could not remember which way he made coffee. He could remember an argument about it with Hopkins, but not which side he had taken. He decided to brine it to a boil. He remembered now that was Hopkins"s way. He had once argued about everything with Hopkins. While he waited for the coffee toboil, he opened a small can of apricots. He liked to open cans. He emptied the can of apricots out into a tin cup. While he watched the coffee on the fire, he drank the juice syrup of the apricots, carefully at first to keep from spilling, then meditatively, sucking the apricots down. They were better than fresh apricots. The coffee boiled as he watched. The lid came up and coffee and grounds ran down the side of the pot. Nick took it off the grill. It was a triumph for Hopkins. He put sugar in the empty apricot cup and poured some of the coffee out to cool. It was too hot to pour and he used his hat to hold the handle of the coffee pot. He would not let it steep in the pot at all. Not the first cup. It should be straight. Hopkins deserved that. Hop was avers, serious coffee drinker. He was the most serious man Nick had ever known. Not heavy, serious. That was a long time ago Hopkins spoke without moving his lips. He had played polo. He made millions of dollars in Texas. He had borrowed carfare to go to Chicago when the wire came that his first big well had come in. He could have wired for money. That would have been too slow. They called Hop"s girl the Blonde Venus. Hop did not mind because she was not his real girl. Hopkins said very confidently that none of them would make fun of his real girl. He was right. Hopkins went away when the telegram came. That was on the Black River. It took eight days for the telegram to reach him. Hopkins gave away his 22-caliber Colt automatic pistol to Nick. He gave his camera to Bill. It was to remember him always by. They were all going fishing again next summer. The Hop Head was rich. He would get a yacht and they would all cruise along the north shore of Lake Superior. He was excited but serious. They said good-bye and all felt bad. It broke up the trip. They never saw Hopkins again. That was a long time ago on the Black River. Nick drank the coffee, the coffee according to Hopkins. The coffee was bitter. Nick laughed. It made a good ending to the story. His mind was starting to work. He knew he could choke it because he was tired enough. He spilled the coffee out of the pot and shook the grounds loose into the fire. He lit a cigarette and went inside the tent. He took off his shoes and trousers, sitting on the blankets, rolled the shoes up inside the trousers for a pillow and got in between the blankets. Out through the front of the tent he watched the glow of the fire when the night wind blew. It was a quiet night. The swamp was perfectly quiet. Nick stretched under the blanket comfortably. A mosquito hummed close to his ear. Nick sat up and lit a match. The mosquito was on the canvas, over his head Nick moved the match quickly up to it. The mosquito made a satisfactory hiss in the flame. The match went out. Nick lay down again under the blanket. He turned on his side and shut his eyes. He was sleepy. He felt sleep coming. He curled up under the blanket and went to sleep.PART II In the morning the sun was up and the tent was starting to get hot. Nick crawled out under the mosquito netting stretched across the mouth of the tent, to look at the morning. The grass was wet on his hands as he came out. The sun was just up over the hill. There was the meadow, the river and the swamp. There were birch trees in the green of the swamp on the other side of the river.The river was clear and smoothly fast in the early morning. Down about two hundred yards were three logs all the way across the stream. They made the water smooth and deep above them. As Nick watched, a mink crossed the river on the logs and went into the swamp. Nick was excited. He was excited by the early morning and the rivet; He was really too hurried to eat breakfast, but he knew he must. He built a little fire and put on the coffee pot. While the water was heating in the pot he took an empty bone and went down over the edge of the high ground to the meadow. The meadow was wet with dew and Nick wanted to catch grasshoppers for bait before the sun dried the grass. He found plenty of good grasshoppers. They were at the base of the grass, stems. Sometimes they clung to a grass stem. They were cold and wet with the dew, and could not jump until the sun warmed them. Nick picked them up, taking only the medium-sized brown ones, and put them into the bottle. He turned over a log and just under the shelter of the edge were several hundred hoppers. It was a grasshopper lodging house. Nick put about fifty of the medium browns into the bottle. While he was picking up the hoppers the others warmed in the sun and commenced to hop away. They flew when they hopped. At first they made one flight and stayed stiff when they landed, as though they were dead. Nick knew that by the time he was through with breakfast they would be as lively as ever. Without dew in the grass it would take him all day to catch a bottle full of good grasshoppers and he would have to crush many of them, slamming at them with his hat. He washed his hands at the stream. He was excited to be near it. Then he walked up to the tent. The hoppers were already jumping stiffly in the grass. In the bottle, warmed by the sun, they were jumping in a mass. Nick put in a pine stick as a cork. It plugged the mouth of the bottle enough, so the hoppers could not get out and left plenty of air passage.… Holding the rod in his right hand he let out line against the pull of the grasshopper in the current. He stripped off line from the reel with his left hand and let it run free. He could see the hopper in the little waves of the current. It went out of sight. There was a tug on the line. Nick pulled against the taut line. It was his first strike. Holding the now living rod across the current, he hauled in the line with his left hand. The rod bent in jerks, the trout pulling against the current. Nick knew it was a small one. He lifted the rod straight up in the air. It bowed with the pull. He saw the trout in the water jerking with his head and body against the shifting tangent of the line in the stream. Nick took the line in his left hand and pulled the trout, thumping tiredly against the current, tothe surface. His back was mottled the clear, water-over-gravel color, his side flashing in the sun. The rod under his right arm, Nick stooped, dipping his right hand into the current. He held the trout, never still, with his moist right hand, while he unhooked the barb from his mouth, then dropped him back into the stream. He hung unsteadily in the current, then settled to the bottom beside a stone. Nick reached down his hand to touch him, his arm to the elbow under water. The trout was steady in the moving stream resting on the gravel, beside a stone. As Nick"s fingers touched him, touched his smooth, cool, underwater feeling, he was gone, gone in a shadow across the bottom of the stream. He"s all right, Nick thought. He was only tired.… Now the water deepened up his thighs sharply and coldly. Ahead was the smooth dammed-back flood of water above the logs. The water was smooth and dark; on the left, the lower edge of the meadow; on the right the swamp. Nick leaned back against the current and took a hopper from the bottle. He threaded the hopper on the hook and spat on him for good luck. Then he pulled several yards of line from the reel and tossed the hopper out ahead onto the fast, dark water. It floated down towards the logs, then the weight of the line pulled the bait under the surface. Nick held the rod in his right hand, letting the line run out through his fingers. There was a long tug. Nick struck and the rod came alive and dangerous, bent double, the line tightening, coming out of water, tightening, all in a heavy, dangerous, steady pull. Nick felt the moment when the leader would break if the strain increased deep and the swamp looked solid with cedar trees, their trunks close together, their branches solid. It would not be possible to walk through a swamp like that. The branches grew so low. You would have to keep almost level with the ground to move at all. You could not crash through the branches. That must be why the animals that lived in swamps were built the way they were, Nick thought. He wished he had brought something to read. He felt like reading. He did not feel like going on into the swamp. He looked down the river. A big cedar slanted all the way across the stream. Beyond that the river went into the swamp. Nick did not want to go in there now. He felt a reaction against deep wading with the water deepening up under his armpits, to hook big trout in places impossible to land them. In the swamp the banks were bare, the big cedars came together overhead, the sun did not come through, except in patches; in the fast deep water, in the half-light, the fishing would be tragic. In the swamp fishing was a tragic adventure. Nick did not want it. He didn"t want to go up the stream any further today. He took out his knife, opened it and stuck it in the log. Then he pulled up the sack, reached into it and brought out one of the trout. Holding him near the tail, hard to hold, alive, in his hand, he whacked him against the log. The trout quivered, rigid. Nick laid him on the log in the shade and broke the neck of the other fish the same way. He laid them side-by-side on the log. They were fine trout. Nick cleaned them, slitting them from the vent to the tip of the jaw. All the insides and the gills and tongue came out in one piece. They were both males; long gray-white strips of milt, smooth and clean. All the insides clean and compact, and let the line go.… The leader had broken where the hook was tied to it. Nick took it in his hand. He thought of the trout somewhere on the bottom, holding himself steady over the gravel, far down below the light, under the logs, with the hook in his jaw. Nick knew the trout"s teeth would cut through the snell of the hook. The hook would imbed itself in his jaw. He"d bet the trout was angry. Anything that size would be angry. That was a trout. He had been solidly hooked. Solid as a rock. He felt like a rock, too, before he started off. By God, he was a big one. By God, he was the biggest one I ever heard of. Nick climbed out onto the meadow and stood, water running down his trousers and out of his shoes, his shoes squelchy. He went over and sat on the logs. He did not want to rush his sensations any. He sat on the logs, smoking, drying in the sun, the sun warm on his back, the river shallow ahead entering the woods, curving into the woods, shallows, light glittering, big water-smooth rocks, cedars along the bank and white birches, the logs warm in the sun, smooth to sit on, without bark, gray to the touch; slowly the feeling of disappointment left him. It went away slowly, the feeling of disappointment that came sharply after the thrill that made his shoulders itch. It was all right now. His rod lying out on the logs, Nick tied a new hook on the leader, pulling the gut tight until it crimped into itself in a hard knot.… Ahead the river narrowed and went into a swamp. The river became smooth and coming out all together. Nick took the offal ashore for the minks to find. He washed the trout in the stream. When he held them back up in the water, they looked like live fish. Their color was not gone yet. He washed his hands and dried them on the log. Then he laid the trout on the sack spread out on the log, rolled them up in it, tied the bundle and put it in the landing net. His knife was still standing, blade stuck in the log. He cleaned it on the wood and put it in his pocket. Nick stood up on the log, holding his rod, the landing net hanging heavy, then stepped into the water and splashed ashore. He climbed the bank and cut up into the woods, to ward the high ground. He was going back to camp. He looked back. The river just showed through the trees. There were plenty of days coming when he could fish the swamp.（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________。

the destruction of linguistic and cultural （21）.A number of commentators have seen the spread of English not as an unqualified benefit,but rather as an opportunity reserved only for the （22）few and a means to construct patterns of inequality both within countries and between the “west’and the “rest”.The global spread of English is （23）:on the one hand it appears as an unstoppable process that homogenizes culture wherever it goes:Crystal (1997a)cites the Italian word cocacolonizzare (to co-colonize),while the poet Derrick Desmond （24）crudely laments the ‘Californucation’(sic)of world culture.On the other hand ,however,the spread of English creates divisions in society,and （25）with other languages causes the creation of new language varieties.Pattayanyak(1996)has suggested that in India the use of English （26）improved educational opportunities for only a very small minority.On the whole it （27）the rift between the urban and rural,the developed and developing and the masses and the elite.He argues that （28）English is the almost exclusive language of science and technology,this actually prevents ordinary people form having access to and interacting with it.Because it prevents many languages sharing communication,it （29）‘alienation,anomie,and blind spots in cultural perception’.Ultimately,Pattaynayak argues,English causes other cultures to wither and die,and its use by the elite to secure their position of privilege is just as much of an imposition on the people as colonialism （30）was.It has also been suggested (and it does seem to be truecertainly of most Britons andAmerican)that the spread of global English has led to complacency about the use of English,and has encouraged people to be（31）about learning languages.Certainly in my recent experience teaching at university in Great Britain,many of the foreign-language programmers are struggling to recruit students who wish to（32）in a foreign language and traditional literature-based German and French programmers in particular seem to be struggling to retain student numbers.On the other hand,as we mentioned in the section on the boom in English teaching,courses that combine European language with,for example,business studies,marketing or IT training,（33）the instrumental function of learning the language is transparent,are indeed attracting students.Thus,this complacency or lack of interest might not be a simple （34）of students losing interest in learning languages,but rather of academics（35）touch with how and why we teach them.pointsШ.Reading Skills4040pointsText ATask1:Complete the passage by choosing the best sentence for each gap.There are more sentences given than necessary.（10points）We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study,but the methods of testing a person’s knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were.It really is extraordinary that after all these years;educationists have still failed to device anything more efficient and reliable than examinations.For all the pious claim that examinations test what you know,it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact people opposite.(36).(37)It doesn’t matter that you weren’t feeling very well,or that your mother died. Little things like that don’t count:the exam goes on.No one can give off his best when he is in mortal terror,or after a sleepless night,yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do.(38)(39)What has to be learnt is rigidly laid down by a syllabus,so the student is encouraged to memorize.Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely,but to restrict his reading;they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge,but induce cramming.They lower the standards of teaching,for they deprive the teacher of all freedoms.Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects,they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise.The most successful candidates are not always be best educated;they are the best trained in the technique of working under duress.The result on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous examiner.Examiners are only human.They get tired and hungry;they make mistakes.Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.And their word carries weight.Aftera judge’s decision you have the right of appeal,but not after an examiner’s.(40)It is cynical to suggest that examinations are merely a profitable business for the institutions that run them?This is what is boils down to in the last analysis.The best comment on the system is this illiterate message recently scrawled on a wall“I were a teenage drop-out and now I are a teenage millionaire.”A.Every class at school requires homework,quizzes,texts,and finally,a final exam.We takeexams to prove ourselves---to prove we have advanced our education.B.There must surely be many simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person’s trueabilities.C.Stress has hit an eleven on the one-to-ten scale during examinations.Stress is not healthy,andit makes everyone angry.The last thing I remember when I go back to school is exams.Is the school trying aversion therapy on its student?D.The moment a child begins school,he enters a world of vicious competition where successand failure are clearly defined and measured.Can we wonder at the increasing number of ‘drop-outs’:young people who are written off as utter failures before they have even embarked on a career?Can we be surprised at the suicide rate among students?E.As anxiety-makers,examinations are second to none.That is because so much depends onthem.They are the mark of success or failure in our society.Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day.F.They may be a good means of testing memory,or the knack of working rapidly under extremepressure,but they can tell you nothing about a person’s true ability and aptitude.G.A good education should,among other things,train you to think for yourself.The examinationsystem does anything but that.Text BTask1:Read the passage and then mark your answers.(6points)During adolescence,the development of political ideology becomes apparent in the individual;ideology here is defined as the presence of roughly consistent attitudes,more or less organized in reference to a more encompassing,though perhaps tacit,set of general principles.As such,political ideology is dim or absent at the beginning of adolescence.Its acquisition by the adolescent,in even the most modest sense,requires the acquisition of relatively sophisticated cognitive skills:the ability to manage abstractness to synthesize and generalize,to imagine the future.These are accompanied by a steady advance in the ability to understand principles.The child’s rapid acquisition of political knowledge also promotes the growth of political ideology during adolescence.By knowledge,I mean more than the dreary“facts”,such as the composition of country government that the child is exposed to in the conventional ninthgrade civics course.Nor do I mean only information on current political realities.These are facets of knowledge,but they are less critical than the adolescent’s absorption,often unwitting,of a feeling for those many unspoken assumptions about the political system that comprise the common ground of understanding----for example,what the state can“appropriately”demand of itsinstitutions,such as the schools and churches.Thus,political knowledge is the awareness of social assumptions and relationships as well as of objective facts.Much of the naivete that characterizes the younger adolescent’s grasp of politics stems not from an ignorance of“facts”but from an incomplete comprehension of the common conventions of the system,of what is and is not customarily done,and of how and why it is or is not done.Yet I do not want to overemphasize the significance of increased political knowledge in forming adolescent ideology.Over the years I have become progressively disenchanted about the centrality of such knowledge and have come to believe that much current work in political socialization,by relying too heavily on its apparent acquisition,has been misled about the tempoof political understanding in adolescence.Just as young children can count numbers in series without grasping the principle of ordination,young adolescents may have in their heads many random bits of political information without a secure understanding of those concepts that would give order and meaning to the information.Like magpies,children’s minds pick up bits and pieces of data.If you encourage them,they will drop these at your feet—Republicans and Democrats,the tripartite division of the federal system,perhaps even the capital of Massachusetts.But until the adolescent has grasped the integumental function that concepts and principles provide,the data remain fragmented,random, disordered.(41)The passage suggests that,during early adolescence,a child would find which of thefollowing most difficult to understand?A.A book chronicling the ways in which the presidential inauguration ceremony has changedover the years.B.An essay in which an incident in British history is used to explain the system of monarchicsuccession.C.A summary of the respective responsibilities of the legislative,executive and judicialbranches of government.D.A debate in which the participate argue,respectively,that the federal government shouldor should not support private schools.(42)It can be inferred from the passage that the author would be most likely to agree with whichof the following statements about schools?A.They should present political information according to carefully planned,schematicarrangements.B.They themselves constitute part of a general sociopolitical system that adolescents arelearning to understand.C.If they were to introduce political subject matter in the primary grades,students wouldunderstand current political realities at an earlier age.D.They are ineffectual to the degree that they disregard adolescent’political naivete.(43)According to the author,which of the following contributes to the development of politicalideology during adolescence?A.conscious recognition by the adolescent of his or her own naiveteB.Thorough comprehension of the concept of ordinationC.Evaluation by the adolescent of the general principles encompassing his or her specificpolitical ideas.D.Intuitive understanding of relationships among various components of society.Task2:Respond BRIEFLY to the
