Interpretation (20%)Read the following selections and then answer the questions.(1)Who are these coming to the sacrifice?To what green altar, O mysterious priest,Lead’st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,And all her silken flanks with garlands drest?What little town by river or sea shore,Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?And, little town, thy streets for evermoreWill silent be; and not a soul to tellWhy thou art desolate, can e’er return.O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with bredeOf marble men and maidens overwrought,With forest branches and the trodden weed;Thou, silent form, dost tease us out of thoughtAs doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!When old age shall this generation waste,Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woeThan ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say’st,“Beauty is truth, truth beauty,”—that is all6Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know.1. What is the title of this poem? Who is the author?2. What contrast is shown in the poem?(2)She was expressing in her own native phrases —assisted a little by her Sixth Standard training —feelings which might almost have been called those of the age: the ache of modernism. The perception arrested him less when he reflected that what are called advanced ideas are really in great part but the latest fashion in definition-a more accurate expression, by words in logy and ism, of sensations which men and women have vaguely grasped for centuries.Still, it was strange that they should have come to her while yet so young; more than strange; it was impressive, interesting, pathetic. Not guessing the cause, there was nothing to remind him that experience is as to intensity, and not as to duration. Tess’s passing corporeal blight had been her mental harvest.Tess, on her part, could not understand why a man of clerical family and good education, and above physical want, should look upon it as a mishap to be alive. For the unhappy pilgrim herself there was very good reason. But how could this admirable and poetic man ever have descended to the Valley of Humiliation, have felt with the man of Uz —as she herself had felt two or three years ago —“My soul chooseth strangling and death rather than my life. I loathe it; I would not live alway.”It was true that he was at present out of his class. But she knew that was only because, like Peter the Great in a shipwright’s yard, he was studying what he wanted to know. He did not milk cows because he was obliged to milk cows, but because he was learning how to be a rich and prosperous dairyman, landowner, agriculturist, and breeder of cattle.3. Which novel is this passage taken from? Who’s the author?4. What does it mean by Tess’s passing corporeal blight in the passage?(3)After filling his mouth with household bread, stale, he at once began: “How are you going down to Robin Hill? You going to take Irene? You’d better take her. I should think there’ll be a lot that’ll want seeing to.”Without looking up, Soames answered: “She won’t go.”7“Won’t go? What’s the meaning of that? She’s going to live in the house, isn’t she?”Soames made no reply.“I don’t know what’s coming to women nowadays,”mumbled James; “I never used to have any trouble with them. She’s had too much liberty. She’s spoiled——”Soames lifted his eyes: “I won’t have anything said against her,”he said unexpectedly.The silence was only broken now by the supping of James’s soup.The waiter brought the two glasses of port, but Soames stopped him.“That’s not the way to serve port,”he said; “take them away, and bring the bottle.”Rousing himself from his reverie over the soup, James took one of his rapid shifting surveys of surrounding facts.“Your mother’s in bed,”he said; “you can have the carriage to take you down. I should think Irene’d like the drive. This young Bosinney’ll be there, I suppose, to show you over？”Soames nodded.“I should like to go and see for myself what sort of a job he’s made finishing off,”pursued James. “I’ll just drive round and pick you both up.”“I am going down by train,”replied Soames. “If you like to drive round and see, Irene might go with you, I can’t tell.”5. Please give a brief comment on the relationship between Soames and Irene.Part V. Give brief answers to the following questions(15%).1. Please state Henry Fielding’s major contributions in novel writing.2. Make a brief comment on the relationship between the mother and son in Lawrence’s Sons and Lovers.8。

Reading comprehension(40%)2Reading Passage 1It is becoming increasingly recognized that education is a process which continues throughout adult life. The scope of adult and continuing education has widened in recent years and now includes, in addition to the development of the individual through cultural, physical and craft pursuits, such subjects as basic education: education for disadvantaged groups and those with special needs such as ethnic minorities or the disabled; consumer education; health education; and pre-retirement education. Continuing education includes training for those in employment, to enable them to keep pace with technological change. The British government has taken a number of recent initiatives to improve opportunities for both adult and continuing education. In 1982 it launched a Professional, Industrial and Commercial Updating Program designed to help colleges and universities to meet the need to up-date and broaden the skills of those in mid-career in industry, commerce and the professions. A three-year program to encourage the expansion of educational opportunities for the adult unemployed was launched in 1984. Apart from provision for mature students at universities, courses are provided by further education colleges, adult education centers, residential colleges, the Open Universities and various other bodies including a number of voluntary organizations. Most of the provision is made by the local education authorities in a wide variety of establishments, including schools used for adult evening classes and community schools which provide educational, social and cultural opportunities for the wider community. Most courses are part-time. Local authorities also maintain or aid many courses lasting between a weekend and a fortnight. Long-term residential colleges, grant-aided by central government departments, provide courses of one or two years and aim to provide a liberal education without academic entry tests. Most students admitted are entitled to full maintenance grants.1. One of the tasks of continuing education is ________.A. to keep employees well informed of recent technological developmentsB. to help employees get promoted and pay increasedC. to widen employees’knowledge of their country’s historyD. to make employees’spare time activities rich and varied2. The word “initiatives”in Line 8 most probably means ________.A. plansB. offersC. measuresD. proposals3. The two programs launched by the British government are designed for ________.A. students and teachers in colleges and universitiesB. the employed and unemployed respectivelyC. the government employees in BritainD. the disadvantaged and the disabled4. Which of the following is mentioned in the passage?________A. Adult education might be replaced by other types of education.3B. Many British young people can receive higher education without entrance examination.C. Only those who passed academic entry tests can get financial aid from the central government.D. The aid for improving adult and continuing education is provided by local and State governments.5. It can be concluded from the passage that ________.A. adult education will probably become the main type of education in Britain and other developed countriesB. the government should attach importance to various types of education to meet the needs of the changing worldC. higher education should meet the demands of the development of science and technologyD. high schools should produce more skilled studentsReading Passage 2Brain damage is forever, or so doctors once thought, but that long-standing medical axiom (公理) is now being proved wrong. In laboratories across the USA and Europe, researchers are finding that by creating the right chemical environment, and in some cases implanting new cells in the brain, damaged nervous systems can be coaxed (哄) to regenerate (再生). Even more encouraging is the discovery, so far shown only in animals, that cellular (细胞) re-growth can store lost mental functions, and , in addition, improve memory and learning.The latest achievement in this promising field is the work of Dr. Donald Stein and three colleagues at Clark University in Worcester Mass. As reported in last week’s issue of Science, the group attempted to restore mental functioning in 21 rats whose brains had been damaged by the removal of large sections of the frontal cortex (皮层空间). This function of the brain is involved in the learning of complex spatial (空间) relationships. Typically rats sustaining such a severe injury would take 18 days or more to master a maze (迷宫) that required them to alternate right and left turns in order to get a drink of water. Normal rats can learn the task in just 2. 5 days.Before attempting to repair the brain damage, Stein’s team waited a week to allow for the natural accumulation of healing proteins called nerve growth factors. Then they implanted a pinhead size lump of tissue that had taken from the frontal cortex of normal rat embryos (胎儿). The researchers used fetal (胎儿) cells because they are rich in growth factors and adapt easily to a new environment. Result of the operation: the brain-damaged rats were able to learn the maze in just 8. 5 days. While this is still slower than normal, says Stein,“the transplant was dearly producing some degree of functional recovery. ”Stein later found that new connections had grown between the transplanted tissue and the rest of the brain.According to Stein, the immediate lesson of his group’s experiment is that there is much more capacity for response to brain injury than previously thought.6. In this experiment, the damaged brains were healed ________.A. through surgeryB. by creating a favorable chemical environment4C. by placing new brain material in the damaged brainD. all of the above7. The rats described in the article ________.A. had accidental brain damageB. were at first incapable of learning the mazeC. had had part of their brains removedD. were superior to normal rats after the experiment8. The article inplies that ________.A. learning a maze depends upon the ability to learn spatial relationshipsB. damaged brains could never be returned to normalC. only fetal brain tissue is useable for brain regenerationD. normal rats could learn the maze even faster if implanted with brain tissue proteins9. Nerve growth factors are ________.A. conditions under which brain cell can regenerateB. a chemical environment which induces brain cell enlargementC. proteins which can be used by the tissueD. none of the above10. According to Dr. Stein the experiment shows that ________.A. human brain damage is repairableB. a damaged brain does make some attempt to heal itselfC. brain damage does not necessarily mean a lot of functional abilityD. animal brains, such as a rat’s, are better able to repair themselves than human brainsReading Passage 3Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment to information.The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably The Times . It began in 1785, and has a high reputation for reliable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, which means that it does not give its supports to a particular party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editor, not those of the owners of the paper.Letters to the editor are printed in parts of the newspaper. These parts of The Times are always interesting. Most of the letters are on serious subjects, but from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people compared with the manners of the people thirty years ago.In addition to the London daily newspapers, there are other papers. The two London evening papers, the Evening News and the Evening Standard, are sold not only at the ordinary newsagents’shops, but always stay by their piles of papers. However, the newspaper sellers sometimes go away and leave their papers. Passers-by help themselves to the paper they want,5and leave the price of the paper in a box. There are dishonest people in London, but no one thinks it is worth robbing a newspaper seller of a few coins.11. If you want to entertain yourself, please buy yourself ________.A. a popular newspaperB. a serious newspaperC. a foreign newspaperD. any independent paper12. The main reason why The Times is a newspaper of high reputation is that ________.A. it is well known outside Great BritainB. news carried in the paper can be accepted as trueC. the first paper of The Times was published in 1785D. it provides readers with many articles on serious news13. The Times is an independent paper, for ________.A. it doesn’t speak in favor of a certain political partyB. it doesn’t support all the political partiesC. it is not controlled by the British governmentD. the editors’opinions are not examined by the owners of the paper14. What can we infer from the third paragraph?A. Writing on the latest fashion on clothes is the best way to attract young readers.B. People thirty years ago were often polite.C. In the letters to the editor serious subjects are written in an amusing way.D. Letters to the editor are usually too serious to be interesting.15. Which of the following statements in TRUE?A. No one thinks the paper is well worth a few coins.B. The busy street corners are not the usual place where papers are sold.C. Even dishonest people will not take the paper without paying for it.D. The passers-by can be offered free copies of newspapers.Reading Passage 4There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in a great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists”. And these “generalists”are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained”man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The6generalists and especially the administrator deal with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated”man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in a particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time, you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.16. There is an increasing demand for ________.A. all round people in their own fieldsB. people whose job is to organize other people’s workC. people whose educational background is either technical or professionalD. specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others17. The specialist is ________.A. a man whose job is to train other peopleB. a man who has been trained in more than one fieldC. a man who can see the forest rather than the treesD. a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters18. The administrator is ________.A. a “trained”man who is more a specialist than a generalistB. a man who sees the trees as well as the forestC. a man who is very strong in the humanitiesD. a man who is an “educated”specialist19. During your training period, it is important ________.A. to try to be a generalistB. to choose a profitable jobC. to find an organization which fits youD. to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist20. A man’s first job ________.A. is never the right job for himB. should not be regarded as his final jobC. should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any jobD. is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobⅣ. Questions:(10%)All the questions are based on Reading Passage 5. Answer the questions with the fewest7words possible.Reading Passage 5Scientists say changes in the climates caused by industry pollution could make it harder for farmers to grow food in the next century. But the report by the US Department of Agriculture says that may not be true everywhere. It says in some parts of the world, global warming might help farmers produce more food. The burning of more oil and coal around the world is blamed for causing carbon dioxide gas or CO2to increase in the earth upper atmosphere. Many scientists believed this has led to the problem known as global warming. They believe average day-time temperatures will rise a few degrees over the next 50 years. And they believe this could cause changes in the amounts of rainfall. The Agriculture Department report says some farmers in US probably will have to make changes if climate conditions change. They may have to replace their traditional methods or grow different crops. But the report also finds that the higher levels of CO2in the atmosphere could increase the growth of some important crops. The report says that the experiment shows the harvest of the crops like rice, soya beans, wheat and cotton could increase as CO2 levels rise. But this would happen only if average temperatures do not increase too much. The scientists say the faster crop growth caused by high CO2levels could help farmers reduce their use of chemical fertilizers. That could mean less pollution of streams and rivers. The scientists also say the warming of the atmosphere could also affect snowfall amounts in the US when the snow melts each spring. Melting snow is important because it supplies water for farms in the plain, mountainous western states. The Agriculture Department report suggests farmers can slow down the climate changes. For example, they could leave crop waste on the field after harvesting. This would keep more carbon in the soil and prevent its release into the air as CO2. The report says no one is sure how global warming will affect agriculture. Yet the report says farmers should be ready to make some changes either in what they grow or how they grow it .Questions:1. What was the cause of global warming?2. Why farmers in plains and mountainous western states need snow?3. How can some farmers cope with the situation if climate condition changes?4. Why does the report say CO2 high makes farmers pollute less of streams and rivers?5. What is the general idea of the article?Ⅴ. Translate the underlined part of Reading Passage 5 into Chinese.

Interpretation (20%)Read the following selections and then answer the questions.(1)Then I saw in my dream, that when they were got out of the wilderness, they presently saw a town before them, and the name of that town is Vanity; and at the town there is a fair kept, called Vanity Fair ;it is kept all the year long; it bearth the name of Vanity Fair because the town where it is kept is lighter than vanity; and also because all that is there sold, or that cometh thither, is vanity. As is the saying of the wise, “All that cometh is vanity.”This fair is no new-erected business, but a thing of ancient standing; I will show you the original of it.Almost five thousand years agone, there were pilgrims walking to the Celestial City, as theses two honest persons are; and Beelzebub, Apollyon, and Legion, with their companions, perceiving by the path that the pilgrims made, that their way to the city lay through this town of Vanity, they contrived to set up a fair; a fair wherein should be sold all sorts of vanity, and that it should last all the year long. Therefore at this fair are all such merchandise sold, as houses, land, trades, places, honors, preferments, titles, countries, kingdoms, lusts, pleasures, and delights of all sorts, as whores, bawds, wives, husbands, children, masters, servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls, silver, gold, pearls, precious stones, and what not.And , moreover, at this fair here is at all times to be seen jugglings, cheats, games, plays, fools, apes, knaves, and rogues, and that of every kind.Here are to be seen, too, and that for nothing, thefts, murders, adulteries, false swearers, and that of a blood-red colour.1. Which book is this passage taken from? Who is the author?2. What kind of fair is the Vanity Fair in the passage?(2)“Who, who?”cries Tom; but without waiting for an answer, having discovered the features of his Molly through all the discomposure in which they now were, he hastily alighted, turned his horse loose, and, leaping over the wall, ran to her. She now first bursting into tears, told him how barbarously she had been treated.Upon which, forgetting the sex of Goody Brown, or perhaps not knowing it in his rage—for, in reality, she had no feminine appearance but a petticoat, which he6might not observe—he gave her a lash or two with his horsewhip; and then flying at the mob, who were all accused by Moll, he dealt his blows so profusely on all sides, that unless I would again invoke the Muse (which the good-natured reader may think a little too hard upon her, as she hath so lately been violently sweated), it would be impossible for me to recount the horsewhipping of that day.Having scoured the whole coast of the enemy, as well as any of Homer’s horses ever did, or as Don Quixote or any knight-errant in the world could have done, he returned to Molly, whom he found in a condition which must give both me and my reader pain, was it to be described here. Tom raved like a madman, beat his breast, tore his hair, stamped on the ground, and vowed the utmost vengeance on all who had been concerned.He then pulled off his coat, and buttoned it round her, put his hat upon her head, wiped the blood from her face as well as he could with his handkerchief, and called out to the servant to ride as fast as possible for a side-saddle, or a pillion, that he might carry her safe home.Master Blifil objected to the sending away the servant, as they had only one with them; but as Square seconded the order of Jones, he was obliged to comply.The servant returned in a very short time with the pillion, and Molly, having collected her rags as well as she could, was placed behind him. In which manner she was carried home, Square, Blifil, and Jones attending.Here Jones having received his coat, given her a sly kiss, and whispered her, that he would return in the evening, quitted his Molly, and rode on after his companions.3. What can be seen about the hero Tom’s character from this accident?4. How do you comment on the art form of the novel?(3)She dwelt among the untrodden waysBeside the springs of Dove,A Maid whom there were none to praiseAnd very few to love:A violet by a mossy stoneHalf hidden from the eye!—Fair as a star, when only one7Is shining in the sky.She lived unknown, and few could knowWhen Lucy ceased to be;But she is in her grave, and, oh,The difference to me!5. What is the theme of this poem?Part V. Give brief answers to the following questions. (15%)1. Make a brief comment on the major features of Jane Austen’s novel writing.2. Make a comment on the themes of Ulysses by James Joyce.8。

Interpretation (20%)Read the following selections and then answer the questions.(1)Then I saw in my dream, that when they were got out of the wilderness, they presently saw a town before them, and the name of that town is V anity; and at the tow n there is a fair kept, called V anity Fair ;it is kept all the year long; it bearth the name of V anity Fair because the town where it is kept is lighter than vanity; and also because all that is there sold, or that cometh thither, is vanity. As is the saying of the wise, “All that cometh is vanity.”This fair is no new-erected business, but a thing of ancient standing; I will show you the original of it.Almost five thousand years agone, there were pilgrims walking to the Celestial City, as theses two honest persons are; and Beelzebub, Apollyon, and Legion, with their companions, perceiving by the path that the pilgrims made, that their way to the city lay through this town of V anity, they contrived to set up a fair; a fair wherein should be sold all sorts of vanity, and that it should last all the year long. Therefore at this fair are all such merchandise sold, as houses, land, trades, places, honors, preferments, titles, countries, kingdoms, lusts, pleasures, and delights of all sorts, as whores, bawds, wives, husbands, children, masters, servants, lives, blood, bodies, souls, silver, gold, pearls, precious stones, and what not.And , moreover, at this fair here is at all times to be seen jugglings, cheats, games, plays, fools, apes, knaves, and rogues, and that of every kind.Here are to be seen, too, and that for nothing, thefts, murders, adulteries, false swearers, and that of a blood-red colour.1. Which book is this passage taken from? Who is the author?2. What kind of fair is the V anity Fair in the passage?(2)“Who, who?”cries Tom; but without waiting for an answer, having discovered the features of his Molly through all the discomposure in which they now were, he hastily alighted, turned his horse loose, and, leaping over the wall, ran to her. She now first bursting into tears, told him how barbarously she had been treated.Upon which, forgetting the sex of Goody Brown, or perhaps not knowing it in his rage—for, in reality, she had no feminine appearance but a petticoat, which he6might not observe—he gave her a lash or two with his horsewhip; and then flying at the mob, who were all accused by Moll, he dealt his blows so profusely on all sides, that unless I would again invoke the Muse (which the good-natured reader may think a little too hard upon her, as she hath so lately been violently sweated), it would be impossible for me to recount the horsewhipping of that day.Having scoured the whole coast of the enemy, as well as any of Homer’s horses ever did, or as Don Quixote or any knight-errant in the world could have done, he returned to Molly, whom he found in a condition which must give both me and my reader pain, was it to be described here. Tom raved like a madman, beat his breast, tore his hair, stamped on the ground, and vowed the utmost vengeance on all who had been concerned.He then pulled off his coat, and buttoned it round her, put his hat upon her head, wiped the blood from her face as well as he could with his handkerchief, and called out to the servant to ride as fast as possible for a side-saddle, or a pillion, that he might carry her safe home.Master Blifil objected to the sending away the servant, as they had only one with them; but as Square seconded the order of Jones, he was obliged to comply.The servant returned in a very short time with the pillion, and Molly, having collected her rags as well as she could, was placed behind him. In which manner she was carried home, Square, Blifil, and Jones attending.Here Jones having received his coat, given her a sly kiss, and whispered her, that he would return in the evening, quitted his Molly, and rode on after his companions.3. What can be seen about the hero Tom’s character from this accident?4. How do you comment on the art form of the novel?(3)She dwelt among the untrodden waysBeside the springs of Dove,A Maid whom there were none to praiseAnd very few to love:A violet by a mossy stoneHalf hidden from the eye!—Fair as a star, when only one7Is shining in the sky.She lived unknown, and few could knowWhen Lucy ceased to be;But she is in her grave, and, oh,The difference to me!5. What is the theme of this poem?Part V. Give brief answers to the following questions. (15%)1. Make a brief comment on the major features of Jane Austen’s novel writing.2. Make a comment on the themes of Ulysses by James Joyce.8。
