Science seems to be getting closer to answering a very old mystery. Homing pigeons can be taken hundred of miles from their home. When they are let go to fly again，they find their way home. Because of this special ability to find home，pigeons have been used as messengers for hundreds of years.2. Today people even keep homing pigeons for racing as a sport. The birds are shipped to some chosen place a few hundred miles away. Then all of them are let go together. The winner is the bird that goes home first. A good racer can make it home 500 miles away in a single day.3. The mystery of the homing pigeon is in how it navigates and how it finds home. It may be taken away in a covered-up cage，even a cage that is turned round and round to purposely mix up any sense of direction. To get home，it must fly over the country that it has never seen before.4. Suppose this were to happen to you What would you need to find your way home （besides a good pair of legs）I think I would ask for a compass，which always points north，to help find direction. I would want a map. If a map shows where my home is，then I can use the compass to point me in the direction toward home. What we are talking about shows the two parts of the problem of the homing pigeon. Much of the study of homing pigeons leads to the idea that pigeons need the same kinds of information. They need to know how to tell direction and they need something like a map to tell which direction is toward home.5. The first part seems to be pretty well answered，and we know of two ways that pigeons tell direction. First，they use the sun. Just getting rough direction from the sun is easy. It rises somewhere toward the east and sets somewhere toward the west. Getting accurate directions from the sun take more care. Y ou need to pay attention to the time of the year. Then you need to watch the path of the sun closely at each hour of the day. To tell direction accurately from the sun，a person need to know the exact time.6. All plants and animals that have been studied carefully （including the human ）seem to have built-in clocks. These biological clocks，as they are called，usually are not quite exact in measuring time. However，they work pretty well because they are reset each day，maybe when the sun comes up.7. Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find direction from the sun We can keep pigeons in a room lighted only by lamps. And we can time the lighting to make their artificial days start at some different time form the real outside day. After a while we have shifted their clocks. Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day. Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go，but choose a wrong direction. They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.8. We have talked about one of the more complex experiments that leads to the belief that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun. What happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is Then the pigeons still find their way home. The same experiment we talked about has been repeated many times on sunny days and the result was always the same. But on very overcast days those clock-shifted pigeons are just as good as normal pigeons in starting out in the right directions. So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of directions to use when they cannot see the sun.二、阅读理解（Reading comprehension）（30 points， 1 point for each）I. All the statements are closely related to Reading Passage 2. Skim over this passage and decide whether they are True or False. Write a “T” before true statements and an “F” before false ones.1. The first American astronaut to walk in space must have performed this feat in 1965.2. Before walking in outer space，astronauts have to learn how to control the movements of their bodies in an environment completely different form that on earth.3. Sputnik is the name of the first man-made satellite launched in space in 1858.4. According to the article，one of the reasons that a satellite can make a complete revolution round the earth in a much shorter period of time than the moon is that a satellite travels closer to the earth.5. It was probably in 1960 that the first spaceship containing a man was launched into space and made a short but successful flight.Reading Passage 21. The whole world seemed to be black，black nothingness. The sky was black with bright，shining stars that never twinkled. The sun，a white，burning disk，seemed to hang in the black velvet of the surrounding heavens. This was the scene that spread before the eyes of the first astronaut who left his spaceship to walk in outer space. The name of the Russian astronaut who performed this feat was Leonov，and the date of his walk in space was March 18，1965. Several months later a similar feat was performed by the first American astronaut to walk in space. Both of these space walkers had spent months previous to their flight learning how to control their movements under the strange conditions which exist in space. Wearing their thick space suits，they learned to deal with an environment where there is neither weight or gravity，neither up nor down.2. We do not realize how much we depend on the earth…s gravity until we are deprived of it. Then our feet no longer stay on the ground，we float around in the air，and the slightest touch may send us drifting off in the opposite direction.3. In the laboratories where astronauts are trained for their journey，they are subjected toconditions that resemble those of flight. It takes time for them to prepare for the great changes that occur in space. When the spaceship leaves the earth at tremendous speed，the astronauts feel as if they are being crushed against the spaceship floor. Later，when they leave the zone of the earth…s gravitation，they are unable to stay in one place. Simple actions，such as eating and drinking，become very difficult to perform. Y ou may get an inkling of what the astronauts have to deal with if you try to drink a glass of water while standing on your head or while just lying down.4. The beginnings of man…s conquest of space took place in 1958，seven years before Leonov‟s trip. The first successful launching of Sputnik demonstrated that it was indeed possible to send objects far enough out of range of earth…s gravity so that they would not fall back to earth. Rather，such objects could be forced to revolve about the earth，just as the moon does. However，while the moon is so far from earth that it takes it a month to revolve around the earth，man-made satellites，which are closer to earth，can make a complete revolution in a few hours.5. It was three years after the first satellite launching that a spaceship containing a man madea successful flight. The flight lasted less than two hours，but it pointed the way to future developments.II. Read Reading Passages 3 and 4. Read the two passages fast and answer questions 1—10 （Reading Passage 3）and questions 11-20 （Reading Passage 4）1. What is the primary purpose of the IWCA. To protect their whaling industry.B.

Paragraph 2 implies that a large number of bowhead whales were killed in the nineteenth century because ______.A. they are slow swimmersB. they were abundant in the Bering SeaC. they are bigger and，therefore，better targets3.

According to Paragraph 3 ______.A. the number of countries involved in commercial whaling had decreasedB. the IWC has been steadily increasing its quotasC.

As spring comes to the rough Bering Sea and the gigantic ice floes begin to melt，the water becomes alive with migrating animals. Both whales，the graceful giants of the deep，and sleek，gray seals can be seen swimming northward through narrow channels in the shifting ice. These animals，which have long been threatened by encroaching civilizations，may soon disappear from the Bering and other seas around the world unless protective measures are taken.2. For centuries whales，intelligent，air-breathing mammals，were abundant in the waters off the Alaskan coast；however，their isolated sanctuary was invaded by hunters in 1848 when an American whaling ship discovered the rich whaling area. During the next 60 years，whalers，in search of bone and oil，almost destroyed the entire whale population of the Bering Sea.Particularly harmed by the unrestricted commercial whaling were the slow-moving bowhead whales；so many of them were killed that the species never recovered. At present，the population of the bowhead is estimated at less than 3，000. According to many conservationists，it is the most endangered whale on earth.3. In an attempt to avoid the eradication of other whale species，countries interested in commercial whaling established the International Whaling Commission（IWC）in 1946. The IWC limits the number of whales that may be killed per year，and since 1973 the Commission has been steadily reducing its quotas. Today，only about seven countries still engage in commercial whaling. The reductions recommended by the IWC have brought loud cries of protest from countries with large whaling industries，especially Japan and the Soviet Union. These countries fear that their industries will not be able to survive such drastic cuts and that their national economies will suffer as a result. Although the IWC has no means of enforcing its regulations，since most whaling takes place in international water，the Japanese and the Soviets are reluctant to ignore them. Previous decisions to disregard whale quotas resulted in costly boycotts of Japanese and Russian products by American conservationists. The IWC would like to ban hunting of the endangered bowhead；however，this proposal has created a great deal of controversy in the United States due to strong protests from Alaskan Eskimos. The natives of Alaska resent the attempt to take away their hunting rights. For over 1，000 years，they have depended upon whales for the meat and raw materials necessary for survival in the Arctic. Present United States laws already strictly limit the number of whales that may be killed by each village；nevertheless，the population of the bowhead whale is critically low ― perhaps too low to survive even minimal hunting by the Eskimos4. Another animal of the Bering Sea that is faced with possible extinction is the northern fur seal，valued highly by hunters for its soft and durable fur. The Pribilof Islands，200 miles north of the Aleutian Islands off the Alaskan coast，are the seal…s summer breeding grounds. For centuries the isolated islands have been the annual goal for thousands of migrating fur seals，some coming from as far south as the waters off southern California. The seals were undisturbed by humans until 1786 when the islands were discovered by Gerasim Pribilof，a Russian fur trader. Recognizing the potential profit，Pribilof immediately sent his men ashore with orders to kill as many seals as they could skin during the summer. Over the next fifty years，Russian hunters proceeded to kill an estimated 80 percent of the northern fur seal population，reducing to about 600，000 a head that had probably numbered close to 3 million. This mass slaughter did not stop until the herd had decreased to the point where commercial hunting was no longer profitable.5. During the subsequent lull in hunting the seal population made a good，although temporary，recovery. By the time the United States bought Alaska，including the Pribilof Islands，from Russian in 1867，the seal herd had increased to around 2.5 million. This recovery resulted in a revival of hunting on the islands and at sea；however，fur hunters from around the world shot at the animals indiscriminately，killing even pregnant and nursing females，and onceagain the species neared extinction.6. In 1911，only 200，000 seals remained when the United States，Japan，Russian，and Canada signed a treaty that forbade the killing of female seals. The agreement，which is still being followed today，saved the northern fur seal from immediate extinction.7. In the United States， a growing public awareness of these endangered specieshas caused a drop in the demand for seal fur and a ban on the importation of whale products；nevertheless，this spring hunters around the world will kill thousands of seals and whales. The furs of the seals will appear in stores as sealskin coats and gloves，and the whales will be transformed into such diverse products as steaks，soap，pet food，glue，crayons，and suntan lotion. Concerned individuals and conservationist groups，such as Greenpeace，continue to argue that it is absurd to use endangered species for such products，especially when suitable alternatives exist. Consequently，they are demanding that further restrictions be imposed on whale and seal hunting in the hopes that the 200-year exploitation of these animals by civilization will come to an end and that seals and whales will once again be allowed to roam the seas undisturbed.Reading Passage 41. Information is generally esteemed as a valuable commodity ― knowing something is usually preferable to not knowing it. But beyond contributing to the individual…s fund of knowledge，why does information have such instinct worth Simply stated，information has the power to deduce uncertainty. The more we know about a situation，the more certain we are about possible outcomes. The more certainty we possess，the less risk we face in making decisions and planning for the future. Economists have even applied a technique known as Bayesian analysis to information problems，enabling them to assess the dollar value of knowledge in a given setting.2. Information essentially has two valuable applications：problem solving and strategic planning. Problem solving is the more obvious use ― applying information to specific decision-making situations. Research can unearth potential problems which might otherwise go undetected and help define their full scope. Information can reveal possible solutions to the problem，suggest variations to more obvious alternatives，determine what is physically possible，and discover what other people have done in similar situations. Furthermore，information help the decision-maker assess the probable outcomes of various alternatives，the advantages and disadvantages to each，and even whether the proposed solution has worked in the past. In summary，information can provide new ideas，verify what the researcher believes to be true，prevent costly mistake，and in the very best case，actually solve the problem at hand.3. Strategic planning is a less direct use of information，but is possibly the most important application in the business world. Information is an essential component of sound long-range planning. When used in this strategic sense，information is often called intelligence. Intelligence is gathered by collecting individual bits of data and piecing them together to form clear patterns.By its very nature，intelligence relies on sources outside the organization；it is generated by scanning the environment for useful information. Intelligence enables the researcher to recognize potential threats and opportunities before it is too late to do something about them. Change，whether political，social，economic，or technological，poses the greatest challenge to management…s ability to plan for the future. The use of information for strategic purposes largely determines whether the firm anticipates change，or is controlled by it.4. Scanning the environment supports strategic planning activities in many ways. Information can be used to evaluate the marketplace by surveying changing tastes and needs，monitoring buyers… intentions and attitudes，and assessing the characteristics of the market. Information is critical in keeping tabs on the competition by watching new product developments，shifts in market share，individual company performance，and overall industry trends. Intelligence helps managers anticipate changes in the legal and political environment，including the impact of proposed regulations，tax laws；and import restrictions. Business firms also need to scan the environment for economic conditions in the United States and abroad，including interest rates，foreign exchange rates，and economic growth. In short，intelligence can provide answers to two key business questions：how am I doing And where am I headed Information thus reduces uncertainty in both its applications. In decision making，information prevents the uncertainty of indecision. In strategic planning，it reduces the uncertainty of an unknown future.5. For all its value，information carries with it numerous problems and costs. To begin with，information is a boundless resource，and no one can acquire all the information needed. The sheer mass of available data makes research a frustrating task. Most information unearthed in a search is irrelevant to the user…s needs，as anyone who has ever researched a college term paper can testify. Furthermore，information is usually fragmented published piecemeal in a variety of sources and seldom found in precisely the required form.6. These difficulties are compounded by the time research can take. Few researchers have the luxury of unlimited time；the scope of a search is almost always determined by the deadline established for the project. Another frustrating problem is deciding how to begin. The less we know about a topic，the harder it is to proceed. A central paradox of information gathering is how to determine what is needed when the researcher has no clear understanding of what is available. Similarly，one often doesn…t know what information is lacking until it‟s actually needed，at which point it may be too late.7. These concerns are important，because information always has a cost associated with it. Whether the user hires a consultant，purchases expensive publications，or merely uses his or her own time to track down the answer，each method has a direct cost. Information also has such indirect costs as delayed decisions，wrong divisions，and foregone opportunities. Estimated cost can often be misleading；people frequently believe that insignificant questions will be simple to research，when the exact opposite is usually true. “Big questions” are often e asiest to answer because someone else has already taken the time to research them.8. The hardest question in business research is determining at what point the benefits of the information justify their cost. Benefits may be hard to assess，or may accrue long after the information is first obtained. Perfect information is preferable to imperfect；yet in real world settings，perfect information does not exist. Researchers must assess the reliability and accuracy of what they uncover and decide whether to accept it or pursue additional facts. At what point is continued searching no longer prudent As already suggested，time constraints canmake this a moot point. When time is not a factor，however，the most appropriate indicator is the magnitude of the consequences. The potential profit or loss to the organization is an excellent gauge of the information…s importance. Another consideration is whether the information addresses a recurring problem or can be applied to other situations in the future. In the real world，two other matters must be kept in mind. First，the problem at hand is usually not the only task vying for the researcher‟s attention；and second，the knowledge，skills and interests of the researcher also determine the path an investigation will take. In the final analysis，all these factors help determine how much research will be done. Each researcher constantly weighs the costs and benefits of information，if only on a unconscious level.III.

The Kid That Saved His Dad On a sunny day list April,Bode, then nine, and his father, John Taylor,54,were snowmobiling around the remote country of Lake Tahoe.As they were driving on the snow,a little dry branch jammed in the brake of John's vehicle. Unable to slow down,John rushed toward a pine tree. He moved to jump off the vehicle before it crashed,but his pantleg (裤腿) caught underneath it.John felt his leg broken.As he sank six inches into the powdery snow, he could tell his arms and shoulder were injured too.Bode rushed to dig out his father, but John stopped him. They had no water, little food, and no cell phone service.“Get on your snowmobile,” John told Bode. "Follow the road, and try to find help.” After a 20-minute ride, Bode spotted a tour group and asked the guide to radio for help. The rescuers quickly appeared on the scene. And Bode led them through the white wilderness to his dad, who was pale and in pain.While they were waiting for a plane to send John to the nearest hospital, the rescuers quickly stabilized his leg. An hour later, he received surgery for the broken leg and internal bleeding.Today, John's leg has healed enough for him to take Bode out on dirt bikes. Father and son now carry extra devices on their trips, including a two-way radio with an emergency button. “I'm still a little afraid to go out on a snowmobile," says Bode. “But I'm starting to feel better about it."厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 厦门撷墨教育 Tisha Shaw, Bode's mother, says her son's courage and quick thinking have led her to treat him as more of an adult.

The way that seismic waves travel shows that the earth’s interior is far from uniform. The continents and the seabed are formed by the crust—a thin sphere of relatively light, solid rock. Beneath the crust lies the mantle, a very different layer that extends approximately halfway to the earth’s center. There the rock is the subject of a battle between increasing heat and growing pressure.3. In its high levels, the mantle is relatively cool; at greater depths, high temperatures make the rock behave more like a liquid than a solid. Deeper still, the pressure is even more intense, preventing the rock from melting in spite of a higher temperature.4. Beyond a depth of around 2,900 kilometers, a great change takes place and the mantle gives way to the core. Some seismic waves cannot pass through the core and others are bent by it. From this and other evidence, geologists conclude that the outer core is probably liquid, with a solid center. It is almost certainly made of iron, mixed with smaller amount of other elements such as nickel.5. The conditions in the earth’s core make it a far more alien world than space. Its solid iron heart is subjected to unimaginable pressure and has a temperature of about 9,000° F. Although scientists can speculate about its nature, neither humans nor machines will ever be able to visit it.51. The word “conflicting” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.A. controllingC. importantB. outdated D. opposing B. disagree with each other D. have found enough evidenceB. sound waves D. radio waves6 52. The geologists _________ about the nature of the earth’s interior. A. agree with each other C. are sure 53. Seismic waves are _________ . A. pulses of energy C. electromagnetic waves54. The way that seismic waves travel shows that ________.A. the interior of the earth is rockB. the interior of the earth is divided into different layersC. the interior of the earth is metal55. The word “there” at the end of Paragraph 2 refers to the ________.A. seabedC. mantle B. crustD. earth’s center56. What is true about the mantle?A. It is similar to the crust.B. It is a very thin layer of the earth.C. It is cooler as it goes deeper.57. The phrase “gives way to” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.A. runs alongC. turns intoA. mantleC. changeA. liquidC. solid B. rubs againstD. floats on B. core D. depth B. made of iron D. mixed with nickel 58. The word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to the _________. 59. The inn er core of the earth is NOT __________.60. Why does the author state that the earth’s core is “more alien” than space?A. Because government funds are not interested in the characteristics of the earth’s core.B. Because scientists are not interested in the characteristics of the earth’s core.C. Because the pressure and high temperature there prevent scientists from doing research.D. Because the earth’s core is made of elements that are dangerous to humans.Ⅵ. Directions: Passage 5 is taken from the TEXTBOOK. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer. Write the corresponding letter of the answer on your ANSWER SHEET. (10 points, 1 points for each)Passage 52. If population growth continues at its present pace, the future balance between food 75. Solar energy is available in various forms. Buildings can be heated and cooled by direct use of solar radiation, crops and trees, which are the most efficient converters of sunlight into energy, can be grown for their energy potential, wastes can be burned as fuel, sunlight can be converted into DC (direct current) electricity, electricpower can be derived from the sun-warmed surface waters of the ocean (ocean thermal power), lastly, solar radiation can be converted to heat that will drive electric power generators (solar thermal power). Serious problems still remain as to transportation and storage of solar energy.7. Nuclear energy is produced in nuclear power plants. At these plants atoms of uranium are split, thus releasing masses of energy. Another source of energy under development is the nuclear fusion of certain atoms of hydrogen. This could eventually replace natural gas as a source of energy.8. In future trade the key development to watch is the relationship between the industrialized and the developing nations. Third World countries export their mineral deposits and tropical agricultural products, which bring them desired foreign exchange. Tourism has also been greatly responsible for the rapid development of some developing nations. Western Europe has received millions of such workers from Mediterranean countries.9. The developing nations profit when these workers bring their savings and their acquired technical skills back home. Many developing nations benefit when Western nations establish manufacturing in their countries to take advantage of cheap labor.10. As economies mature, economic growth rates tend to level off. The rate of population growth is leveling off today in Western nations. This leveling-off eventually leads to static The 8Next 200 Years, says that a shift in priorities will have to occur for industrialized nations. No longer is the creation of money and jobs essential, it is rather the improvement of the quality of life that must be our concern. Today pollution is of major concern for industrialized nations. Environmentalists are worried about the relationship between industrial objectives and preserving the environment. In developing nations, however, the problem of pollution is ignored for the sake of development.11. The Western World will eventually move to a period of relatively low economic growth, coupled with a high rate of unemployment. A so-called welfare society will emerge. The unemployed in the new welfare society will be taken care of by the employed through generous contributions to the social welfare system.12. Political questions remain as to the world’s future. We can only speculate as to whether would greatly enhance world trade.61. If population growth continues at its present pace, how can people keep the balance between food demand and supply?A. People should increase the consumption of meat.B. People should increase the consumption of low protein food.C. People should turn to new dietary patterns.D. People should produce more crops.62. Trade growth will depend greatly on ___________.A. energy sourcesB. dietary patternsC. increased consumption of soybeansD. increased yields on existing croplands63. The oil crisis of 1974 caused ___________.A. countries to depend more on oilB. countries to find other energy sources to replace oil64. The problem with solar energy is that _________.9A. sunlight cannot be used directly for heating buildingsB. sunlight cannot be used to drive electric power generatorsC. it is difficult to transport and store solar energyD. it is difficult to convert sunlight into DC electricity65. Geothermal energy has not been exploited because ____________.B. it is not sufficient enoughC. little is known about exploratory technology66. Which of the following is NOT true according to paragraph 8?A. Third World countries export their mineral deposits so as to get foreign exchange.B. Workers in Third World countries emigrate to developed countries.C. Tourism will contribute much to the development of Third World countries.D. Some developing countries will absorb large numbers of foreign workers to work in their countries.67. Industrial nations show great concern for ____________.A. creation of new jobsB. pollution and environmental preservationC. high unemployment and low wagesD. the decreasing economic growth rate68. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 10?A. Western nations are facing economic saturation.B. Developing countries pay much attention to the problem of pollution.C. As economies mature, economic growth rates tend to speed up.D. A welfare society will emerge in developing nations.69. In a welfare society ______________.A. people don’t need to work but can enjoy the welfare provided by their countriesB. more people will be laid off with the rapid growth of the economyC. rate of unemployment is very low due to low economic growthD. people who are out of work will be taken care of economically by their countries70. We can conclude from Paragraphs 12,13 and 14 that _________.B. the future of the international trade will depend on international consultation and cooperationC. there would be monetary cooperation between Western and Eastern European countriesD. future international liquidity reserves would influence growth in trade SECTION 3 QUESTIONS AND TRANSLATION (30 points)attention to the words, grammar and sentence structure in your answers. (15 points, 3 points for each)71. What energies will play a large role in the future?72. Which energy could eventually replace natural gas as a source of energy?What energy is it classified as?73. Why is it the key point in future trade to develop the relationship between the industrialized and the developing nations?74.

2003⾼级英语⼆试题2003年上半年⼴东省⾼等教育⾃学考试⾼级英语(⼆)(B)问卷(课程代号: 8470)考⽣注意: 1.答案必须写在答卷上,写在问卷上⽆效.2.考试时间150分钟.Ⅰ.Reading Comprehension(20%):(1).Read the following passage carefully and then choose one from the given choices to answer each question.THE LADY, OR THE TIGER?1. This semi-barbaric king had a daughter as blooming as his most floridfancies.and with a soul as fervent and imperious his own.As is usual in such cases, she was the apple of his eye, and was loved by him above all humanity.Among his courtiers was a young man of that fineness of blood and lowness of station common to the conventional heroes of romance who love royal maidens .This royal maiden was well satisfied with her lover,for he was handsome and brave to a degree unsurpassed in all this kingdom; and she loved him with an ardor that had enough of barbarism in it to make it exceedingly warm and strong. This love affair moved on happily for many months , until one day the king happened to discover its existence. He did not hesitate nor waver in regard to his duty in the premises.The youth was immediately cast into prison.and a day was appointed for his trial in the king’s arena.This , of course ,was an especially important occasion; and his majesty as well as all the people, was greatly interested in the workings and development of this trial.Never before had sucha case occurred;never before had a subject dared to love the daughter of a king.Inafter-years such things became commonplace enough;but then they were,in no slight degree,novel and startling.2. The tiger cages of the kingdom were searched for the most savage andrelentless beasts, from which the fiercest monster might be selected for the arena; and the ranks of maiden youth and beauty throughout the land were carefully surveyed by competent judges, in order that the young man might have a fitting bride in case fate did not determine for him a different destiny.Of course ,everybody knew that the deed with which the accused was charged had been done.He had loved the princess, and neither he ,she ,nor any one else thought of denying the fact;but the king would not think of allowing any fact of this kind to interfere with the workings of the tribunal,in which he took such great delight and satisfaction. No matter how the affair turned out, the youth would be disposed of ;and the king would take an aesthetic pleasure in watching the course of events,which would determine whether or not the young man had done wrong in allowing himself to love the princess.3. The appointed day arrived.From far and near the people gathered, and througedthe great galleries of the arena; and crowds,unable to gain admittance,massedthemselves against its outside walls.The king and his court were in their places, opposite the twin doors—those fateful portals, so terrible in their similarity.4. All was ready.The signal was given. A door beneath the royal party opened,and the lover of the princess walked into the arena.Tall, beautyful, fair.his appearance was greeted with a low hum of admiration and anxiety. Half the audience had not known so grand a youth had lived among them.No wonder the princess loved him! What a terrible thing for him to be there!5. As the youth advanced into the arena, he turned,as the custom was ,to bowto the king:but he did not think at all of that royal personage;his eyes were fixed upon the princess,who sat to the right of her father.Had it not been for the moiety of barbarism in her nature, it is probable that lady would not have been there;her intense and fervid soul would not allow her to be absent on an occasion in she was so terribly interested. From the moment that the decree had gone forth.that her lover should decide his fate in the king’s arena,she had thought of nothing, night or day,butthis great event and the various subjects connected with it. Possessed of more power, influence, and force of character than any one who had ever before been interested in such a case, she had done what no other person had done—she had possessed herself of the secret of the doors. She knew in which of the two rooms, that lay behind those doors,stood the cage of the tiger,with its open front, and in which waited the lady.Through these thick doors. Heavily curtained with skins on the inside, it was impossible that any noise or suggestion should come from within to the person who should approach to raise the latch of one of them; but gold,and the power of a woman’s will,had brought the secret to the princess.6.And not only did she know in which room stood the lady ready to emerge,all blushingand radiant,should her door be opened, but she knew who the lady was.It was one of the fairest and loveliest of the damsels of the court who had been selected as the reward of the accused youth,should he be proved innocent of the crime of aspiring to one so far above him;and the princess hated her.Often had she seen,or imagined that she had seen,this fair creature throwing glances of admiration upon the person of her lover,and somethings she thought these glances were perceived and even returned.Now and then she had seen them talking together;it was but for a moment or two,but much can be said in a brief space;it may have been on most unimportant topics,but how could she know that?The girl was lovely,but she had dared to raise her eyes to the loved one of the princess;and with all the intensity of the savage blood transmitted to her through long lines of wholly barbaric ancestors, she hated the woman who blushed and trembled behind that silent door.7.When her lover turned ad looked at her,and his eye met hers as she sat therepaler and whiter than any one in the vast ocean of anxious faces about her, he saw,by that power of quick perception which is given to those whose souls are one.that the knew behind which door crouched the tiger, and behind which stood the lady.He had expected her to know it .He understood her nature, and his soul was assured that she would never rest until she had made plain to herself thisthing,hidden to all other lookers-on.even to the king. The only hope for the youth in which there was any element of certainty was based upon the success of the princess in discovering this mystery; and the moment he looked upon her, he saw she had succeeded,as in his soul he knew she would succeed.8.Then it was that his quick and anxious glance asked the question:”Which?”Itwas as plain to her as if he shouted in from where he stood.There was not an instant to be lost.The question was asked in a flash; It must be answered in another.9.Her right arm lay on the cushioned parapet before her.She raised her hand. Andmade a slight, quick movement toward the right. No one but her lover saw her.Every eye but his was fixed on the man in the arena.10.he turned, and with a firm and rapid step he walked across the empty space. Everyheart stopped beating.every breath was held,every eye was fixed immovably upon that man.without the slightest hesitation, he went to the door on the right , and opened it.11.Now ,ehe point of the story is this:Did the tiger come out of that door,or didthe lady?12.The more we reflect upon this question, the harder it is to answer.it involvesa study of the human heart which leads us through devious mazes of passion, outof which it is difficult to find our way. Think of it ,fair reader, not as if the decision of the question depended upon yourself, but upon that hot-blooded, semi-barbaric princess, her soul at a white white heat beneath the combined fires of despair and jealousy.She had lost him, but who should have him?13.How often, in her waking hours and in her dreams , had she started in wild horror,and covered her face with her hands as she thought of her lover opening the door on the other side of which waited the cruel fangs of the tiger!14.But how much oftener had she seen him at the other door!How in her grievousreveries had she gnashed her teeth, and torn her hair, when she saw his start of rapturous delight as he opened the door of the lady!How her soul had burned in agony when she had seen him rush to meet that woman, with her flushing cheek and sparkling eye of triumph;when she had seen him lead her forth, his whole frame kindled with the joy of recovered life;whenshe had heard the glad shouts from the multitude, and the wild ringing of the happy bells;when she had seen the priest, with his joyous followers , advance to the couple, and make them man and wife before her very eyes;and when she had seen them walk away together upon their path of flowers, followed by the tremendous shouts of the hilarious multitude,in which her one despairing shriek was lost and drowned!15.Would it not be better for him to die at once, and go to wait for her in theblessed regious of semi-barbaric futurity?16.And yet, that awful tiger, those shrieks, that blood!17.Her decision had been indicated in an instant, but it had been made after daysand nights of anguished deliberation. She had known she would be asked, she bad decided what she would answer, and , without the slightest hesitation, she moved her hand to the right.18.The question of her decision is one not to be lightly considered, and it is notfor me to presume to set myself up as the one person able to answer it .And soI leave it with all of you:which came out of the opened door---the lady,or thetiger?1.Which of the following best explains how the author concludes the story?A.He has to leave the question with his readers as he himself is not surewhat the answer should be .B.He wants to emphasize the difficulty of choice when a person is tornbetween despair and jealousy.C.He assumes that an element of uncertainty always appeals to people.D.He feels that he can not surmise the thoughts of a semi-barbaric princesswho lived in the distant past.2.It is implied in the story that the trial of the young courtier was ______.A. romanticB. despoticC. superfluousD. conspicuous3. The princess attended the trial__________.A. owing to the resemblance she bore to her father in natureB. owing to the unusual position the thought she was inC. as she was impulsively driven by despairD. as she was instinctively driven by jealousy4.

Straight—A Illiteracy1.Despite all the current fuss and bother about the extraordinary number ofordinary illiterates who overpopulate our schools, small attention has heen given to another king of illiterate, an illiterate whose plight is .in many ways, more important, because he is more influential.This illiterate may, as often as not,be a university president, but he is typically a Ph.D., a successful professor and textbook author. The person to whom I refer is the straight-A illiterate, and the following is written in an attempt to give him equal time with his widely publicized counterpart.2.The scene is my office, and I am at work, doing what must be done if one is toassist in the cure of a disease that ,over the years, I have come to call straight-A illiteracy. I am interrogating, I am cross-examining, I am prying and probing for the meaning of a student’s paper.The student is a college senior with a straight-A average, an extremely bright, highly articulate student who has just been awarded a coveted fellowship to one of the nation’s outstanding graduate schools. He and I have been at this, have been going over his paper sentence by sentence, word by word , for an hour.”The choice of exogenous variables in relation to multi-colinearity,”I hear myself reading from his paper , “is contingent upon the derivations of certain multiple correlation coefficients.”I pause to catch my breath. “Now that statement, I address the student ---whom I shall call,allegorically, Mr. Bright—“that statement, Mr.Bright, what on earth does is mean?”Mr.Bright, his brow furrowed, tries mightily.Finally,with both of us combining our linguistic and imaginative resources, finally ,after what seems another hour, we decode it . We decide exactly what it is that Mr.Bright is trying hi say, what he really wants to say,”which is :”Supply determines demand.”3.Over the past decade or so ,I have known many students like him, many collegeseniors suffering from Bright’s disease.it attacks the best minds, and gradually destroys the critical faculties, making it impossible for the sufferer to detect gibberish in his own writing or in that of others.During the years of higher education it grows worse, reaching its terminal stage, typically, when its victim receives his Ph.D.Obviously, the victim of Bright’s desease is no ordinary illiterate.He would mever turn in a paper with misspellings or errors in punctuation;he would never sue a double negative or the word “irregardless.”Nevertheless, he is illiterate, in the worst way:he isincapable of saying, in writing, simply and clearly, what he means. The ordinary illiterate---perhaps providentially protected from college and graduate school---might say:”Them people down at the shop better stock up on what our customers need, or we ain’t gonna be in business long.”Not our man.Taking his cue from years of higher education,years of reading the textbooks and professional journals that are the major sources of his affliction, he writes:”the focus of concentration must rest upon objectives centered around the knowledge of customer areas so that a sophisticated awareness of those areas can serve as an entrepreneurial filter to screen what is relevant from what is irrelevant to future commitments.”For writing such gibberish he is awarded straight As on his papers (both samples quoted above were taken from papers that received As),and the opportunity to move, inexorably,toward his fellowship and eventual Ph.D.4.As I have suggested the major cause of such illiteracy is the stuff---thetextbooks and professional journals---the straight –A illiterate is forced to read during his years of higher education. He learns to write gibberish by reading it , and by being taught to admire it as profundity.If he is majoring in sociology, he must grapple with such journals as the American Sociological Review,journals bulging with barbarous jargon, such as “ego-integrative action orientation”and “orientation toward improvement of the gratificational deprivation balance of the actor”(the latter of which monstrous phrases represents , to quote Malcolm Cowley, the sociologist’s way of saying “the peasure principle”).In such journals, Mr.Cowley reminds, two things are never described as being “alike.”They are “homologous”or “isomorphic. Nor are things simply “different.”They are “allotropic.”In such journals writers never “divide anything.”They “dichotomize”or “bifurcate”things.1.According to the author, it has already become a grave social concern that ofall those at university many are not able to read or write properly.2.The author argues that a straight-A illiterate is an intelligent college studentwho can write without grammatical errors, but without a fair degree of intelligibility either.3.The sort of writing the straight-A illiterates produce is hardly intelligibleto other, but crystally comprehensible to themselves.4.The university professors to straight-A illiteracy are as virus to adisease,according to the author.5.University authorities regard straight-A illiteracy as a key qualification forPh.D.degrees and fellowships.6.Straight-A illiteracy affects fewer people than ordinary illiteracy.7.The author argues that ordinary illiteracy is not as harmful as straight-Ailliteracy.8.The author has failed to find out the cause of straight-A illiteracy.9.Mr.Bright is a symbol of straight-A illiteracy grammatically.10.Highly professional jargons are used in the last paragraph to highlight the unintelligence of the straight-A illiterates.Ⅱ.Multiple Choice (10%)Choose the word or phrase which best completes each sentence.1.I had to pay _______________on a carpet I brought through the Customs today.a. taxesb. ratesc. costsd. duty2.
