北外二外英语真题及参考答案2010

2010年北京外国语大学英语专业（基础英语）真题试卷(总分：60.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、阅读理解(总题数：2，分数：24.00)Americans are living in an argument culture. There is a pervasive warlike atmosphere that makes us approach public dialogue, and just about anything we need to accomplish, as if it were a fight. Thinking of human interactions as battles is a metaphorical frame through which we learn to regard the world and the people in it. All language uses metaphors to express ideas; some metaphoric words and expressions are novel, made up for the occasion, but more are calcified in the language. They are simply the way we think it is natural to express ideas. We don"t think of them as metaphors. When someone says, "Don"t pussyfoot around; get to the point" , there is no explicit comparison to a cat, but the comparison is there nonetheless, implied in the word "pussyfoot". I doubt that individuals using the word "pussyfoot"think consciously of cats. More often than not, we use expressions without thinking about their metaphoric implications. But that doesn"t mean those implications are not influencing us. Americans talk about almost everything as if it were a war.A book about the history of linguistics is called The Linguistics Wars. A magazine article about claims that science is not completely objective is titled The Science Wars. One about competition among caterers is" Party Wars"—and on and on in a potentially endless list. Politics, of course, is a prime candidate . One of the innumerable possible examples, the headline of a story reporting that the Democratic National Convention nominated Bill Clinton to run for a second term declares, " DEMOCRATS SEND CLINTON INTO BATTLE FOR A 2D TERM. "But medicine is as frequent a candidate, as we talk about battling and conquering disease. Why does it matter that our public discourse is filled with military metaphors? Aren"t they just words? Why not talk about something that matters—like actions? Because words matter. When we think we are using language, language is using us. As linguist Dwight Bolinger put it(employing a military metaphor), language is like a loaded gun;It can be fired intentionally, but it can wound or kill just as surely when fired accidentally. The terms in which we talk about something shape the way we think about it—and even what we see. The power of words to shape perception has been proven by researchers in controlled experiments. Psychologists Elizabeth Loftus and John Palmer, for example, found that the terms in which people are asked to recall something affect what they recall. The researchers showed subjects a film of two cars colliding, then asked how fast the cars were going; one week later, they asked whether there had been any broken glass. Some subjects were asked, " About how fast were the cars going when they bumped into each other?"Others were asked, "About how fast were the cars going when they smashed into each other?"Those who read the question with the verb "smashed "estimated that the cars were going faster. They were also more likely to"remember"having seen broken glass.(There wasn"t any.) This is how language works. It invisibly molds our way of thinking about people, actions, and the world around us. Military metaphors train us to think about—and see—everything in terms of fighting, conflict, and war. This perspective then limits our imaginations when we consider what we can do about situations we would like to understand or change. In the argument culture, war metaphors pervade our talk and shape our thinking. Nearly everything is framed as a battle or game in which winning or losing is the main concern. These all have their uses and place, but they are not the only way—and often not the best way—to understand and approach our world. Conflict and opposition are as necessary as cooperation and agreement, but the scale is off balance, with conflict and opposition over-weighted.（分数：12.00）(1).We know from Paragraph 2 that______.（分数：2.00）A.the word "pussyfoot" has no relation with catsB.metaphoric words are usually created for special occasionsC.pussyfootis a newly-coined wordD.metaphoric implications can be found in all languages(2).The underlined words "a prime candidate" in Paragraph 3 probably means______.（分数：2.00）A.an important person for electionB.the first person considered for a jobC.something most suitable for a particular purposeD.something more important than words(3).By saying "language is using us"(Paragraph 5), the writer means______.（分数：2.00）A.the terms we use shape our perception of the worlditary metaphors help linguists to express ideas more clearlynguage can hurt people unintentionallynguage empowers us to fight with each other(4).The experiment conducted by the two psychologists shows______.（分数：2.00）A.the choice of words can affect the way people see thingsB.it is of utmost importance to ask good questionsC.there is difference between "smash" and "bump into"D.the memory of an accident can only last for one week(5).We can learn from the text that, in the writer"s opinion, ______.（分数：2.00）A.the argument culture is good for American societyB.Americans place too much importance on conflict and oppositionC.war metaphors have a positive impact on people"s thinkingD.more research should be done on the argument culture(6).The best title for this passage is probably______.（分数：2.00）A.Metaphors in an Argument CultureB.We Are What We Speak; Living in an Argument CultureC.Words Do Matter; Metaphors in American Culturenguage and Culture DebateI recently became one of the last people in America to acquire a portable radio/headphone set. This delay was out of character—normally I ride the crest of every trend. But in this case I sensed a certain dangerous potential. So I put off the purchase for ages, feeling wary of such an inviting distraction. Too much headphone time, I worried, could easily impair my business performance, if not ruin my way of life completely. As it turns out, my concerns were right on target. The problem isn"t the expense, or the constant exposure to musical drivel, or even the endangerment of my hearing—and I do like to keep the volume set on "blast". No, the problem is more subtle and insidious. It"s simply that, once I was fully plugged in, things stopped occurring to me. I get excited about good ideas. Especially my own. I used to have lists of them in all my regular haunts . My office desk, kitchen, car and even my gym bag were littered with bits of paper. Ideas ranging from a terrific brochure headline or a pitch to a new client for my public-relations agency to finding a new route to avoid the morning rush—each notion began as an unsummoned thought, mulled over and jotted down. The old story has it that Isaac Newton identified the concept and presence of gravity while sitting under an apple tree. One fruit fell and science gained new dimension. While there may be some historic license in that tale, it"s easy to see that if Newton had been wearing his Walkman, he probably would have overlooked the real impact of the apple"s fall. This is the problematic side of technological evolution. As tools become more compact, portable and inescapable, they begin to take away something they cannot replace. The car phone, battery-powered TV, portable fax and notepad-size computer do everything for accessibility. They make it easy to be in touch, to be productive, to avoid the tragedy of a wasted second. But there are worse things than empty time. A calendar packed to the max makes it easy to overlook what"s missing. A dearth of good ideas isn"t something that strikes like alightning bolt. It"s a far more gradual dawning, like the slow unwelcome recognition that one"s memory has become less sharp. If that dawning is slow, it"s because our minds are fully occupied. It now takes an unprecedented depth of knowledge to stay on top of basic matters, from choosing sensible investments to purchasing the healthiest food. There is literally no end to the information that has become essential. When there is a chance to relax, we don"t stop the input; we change channels. With earphones on our heads or televisions in our faces, we lock in to a steady barrage of news, views and videos that eliminate likelihood of any spontaneous thought. Still, we are not totally oblivious. We work hard to counter the mind-numbing impact of the river of information we are forced to absorb. There is a deliberate emphasis on the importance of creative thought as a daily factor. From seminars to smart drinks, from computer programs to yoga postures, there"s no end to the strategies and products that claim to enhance creativity. It would be unfair to say that all of these methods are without value. But beyond a certain point they are, at best, superfluous. Trying too hard to reach for high-quality insight can thwart the process in the worst way. The best ideas occur to me when my mind is otherwise unchallenged and there is no pressure to create. I have mentally composed whole articles while jogging, flashed upon the solution to a software dilemma while sitting in the steam room, come up with just the right opening line for a client"s speech while pushing a vacuum. These were not problems I had set out to address at those particular times. Inventiveness came to my uncluttered mind in a random, unfocused moment. Certainly not every idea that pops up during a quiet time is a winner. But a surprising number do set me on the path to fresh solutions. And I have found that a free flow of ideas builds its own momentum, leapfrogging me along to answer that work. The simple fact is that time spent lost in thought isn"t really lost at all. That"s why" unplugged time "is vital. It"s when new directions, different approaches and exciting solutions emerge from a place that can"t be tapped at will. It is unwise to take this resource for granted. Better to recognize it, understand something about where it resides and thereby ensure it is not lost. Clearly, this is far easier said than done. Technology is seductive. It chases us down, grabs hold and will not let us go. Nor do we want it to. The challenge is to keep it in its place and to remember that time spent unplugged brings unique rewards. This doesn"t mean I will abandon my new radio headset toy. But I will take the precaution of leaving it in my dresser drawer on a regular basis. Otherwise, unlike wise old Newton,I may see the fall but never grasp its meaning.（分数：12.00）(1).We may infer from the text that the writer______.（分数：2.00）A.did not like to follow the trendB.prefers to listen to soft musicC.works at a public relations firmD.was not a creative person(2).The writer uses the example of Isaac Newton to show that______.（分数：2.00）A.scientists should stay close to nature to grasp the meaning of natural lawB.a creative scientist can change the course of historyC.a good idea is something that strikes like a lightning boltD.innovative ideas usually originate in times when the mind ranges freely(3).One of the problems that come with technological development is that______.（分数：2.00）A.our minds are too occupied to have any creative ideasB.tools become too complicated to operateC.our memory becomes less sharpD.people have too many gadgets to carry(4).The underlined word" haunts" in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______ .（分数：2.00）A.placesB.peopleC.activitiesD.ghosts(5).In the last few paragraphs, the writer suggests that people should______.（分数：2.00）A.get rid of radio headsetsB.enjoy unplugged time regularlyC.face the challenge of technologyD.learn from Isaac Newton(6).The best title for this text probably is______.（分数：2.00）A.The Latest Trend in HeadsetsB.Impacts of Scientific DevelopmentC.We Are Too Busy for IdeasD.The Best of the Gadgets二、判断题(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Read the following passage carefully and then decide whether the statements which follow are true(T)or false(F). Multiculturalism: E Pluribus Plures Questions of race, ethnicity, and religion have been a perennial source of conflict in American education. The schools have often attracted the zealous attention of those who wish to influence the future, as well as those who wish to change the way we view the past. In our history, the schools have been not only an institution to teach young people skills and knowledge, but an arena where interest groups fight to preserve their values, or to revise the judgments of history, or to bring about fundamental social change. Given the diversity of American society, it has been impossible to insulate the schools from pressures that result from differences and tensions among groups. When people differ about basic values, sooner or later those disagreements turn up in battles about how schools are organized or what the schools should teach. Sometimes these battles remove a terrible injustice, like racial segregation. Sometimes, however, interest groups politicize the curriculum and attempt to impose their views on teachers, school officials, and textbook publishers. When groups cross the line into extremism, advancing their own agendas without regard to reason or to others, they threaten public education itself, making it difficult to teach any issues honestly and making the entire curriculum vulnerable to political campaigns. For many years, the public schools attempted to neutralize controversies over race, religion, and ethnicity by ignoring them. The textbooks minimized problems among groups and taught a sanitized version of history. Race, religion, and ethnicity were presented as minor elements in the American saga; slavery was treated as an episode, immigration as a sidebar, and women were largely absent. The textbooks concentrated on presidents, wars, national politics, and issues of state. An occasional "great black" or "great woman" received mention, but the main narrative paid little attention to minority groups and women. With the ethnic revival of the 1960s, this approach to the teaching of history came under fire, because the history of national leaders—virtually all of whom were white, Anglo-Saxon, and male — ignored the place in American history of those who were none of the above. The traditional history of elites had been complemented by an assimilationist view of American society, which presumed that everyone in the American melting pot would eventually lose or abandon those ethnic characteristics that distinguished each from mainstream Americans. The ethnic revival demonstrated that many groups did not want to be assimilated or melted. Ethnic studies programs popped up on campuses to teach not only that" black is beautiful" , but also that every other variety of ethnicity is " beautiful" as well; eveiyone who had "roots" began to look for them so that they, too, could recover that ancestral part of themselves that had not been homogenized. As ethnicity became an accepted subject for study in the late 1960s, textbooks were assailed for their failure to portray blacks accurately; within a few years, the textbooks in wide use were carefully screened to eliminate bias against minority groups and women. At the same time, new scholarship about the history of women, blacks, and various ethnic minorities found its way into the textbooks. Today"s history textbooks routinely incorporate the experiences of women, blacks,American Indians, and various immigrant groups. As a result of the political and social changes of recent decades, cultural pluralism is now generally recognized as an organizing principle of this society. In contrast to the idea of the melting pot, which promised to erase ethnic and group differences, children now learn that variety is the spice of life. They learn that America has provided a haven for many different groups and has allowed them to maintain their cultural heritage or to assimilate, or—as is often the case—to do both; the choice is theirs, not the state"s. They learn that cultural pluralism is one of the norms of a free society; that differences among groups are a national resource rather than a problem to be solved. Indeed, the unique feature of the United States is that its common culture has been formed by the interaction of its subsidiary cultures. It is a culture that has been influenced over time by immigrants, American Indians, Africans(slave and free)and by their descendants. American music, art, literature, language, food, clothing, sports, holidays, and customs all show the effects of the commingling of diverse cultures in one nation. Paradoxical though it may seem, the United States has a common culture that is multicultural.（分数：10.00）(1).For a long time in history, American schools have been an arena for different interest groups to fight to preserve their values.（分数：2.00）A.TRUEB.FALSE(2).Public schools are biased against minority groups and women, so textbooks chose to ignore the related issues.（分数：2.00）A.TRUEB.FALSE(3).Ethnic studies programs became popular in schools as a result of the ethnic revival in the 1960s.（分数：2.00）A.TRUEB.FALSE(4).Today"s history textbooks advocate the idea of melting pot by incorporating the experiences of women, blacks, American Indians and various immigrant groups.（分数：2.00）A.TRUEB.FALSE(5).It is generally acknowledged now that multiculturalism is a reality as well as a unique feature of American society.（分数：2.00）A.TRUEB.FALSE三、选词填空(总题数：1，分数：14.00)Please choose the best sentence from the list after the passage to fill in each of the gaps in the text. There are more sentences than gaps. The Myth of Asian Superiority Asian Americans have increasingly come to be viewed as a "model minority". But are they as successful as claimed? And for whom are they supposed to be a model? 1 Asian American shopkeepers have been congratulated, as well as criticized, for their ubiquity and entrepreneurial effectiveness. If Asian Americans can make it, many politicians and pundits ask, why can"t African Americans? 2The victims are blamed for their plight, rather than racism and an economy that has made many young African American workers superfluous. The celebration of Asian Americans has obscured reality. 3 Most Asian Americans live in California, Hawaii, and New York—states with higher incomes and higher costs of living than the national average. 4 While Japanese American men in California earned an average income comparable to Caucasian men in 1980, they did so only by acquiring more education and working more hours. 5Some Asian American groups do have higher family incomes than Caucasians. But they have more workers per family. The " model minority" image homogenizes Asian Americans and hides their differences. For example, while thousands of Vietnamese American young people attenduniversities, others are on the streets. They live in motels and hang out in pool halls in places like East Los Angeles; some join gangs. Hmong and Mien refugees from Laos have unemployment rates that reach as high as 80 percent. A recent California study showed that three out of ten Southeast Asian refugee families had been on welfare for four to ten years. Although college-education Asian Americans are entering the professions and earning good salaries, many hit the "glass ceiling"—the barrier through which high management positions can be seen but not reached. 6 Finally, the triumph of Korean immigrants has been exaggerated. In 1988 , Koreans in the New York metropolitan area earned only 68 percent of the median income of non-Asians. More thanthree-quarters of Korean greengrocers came to America with a college education. 7For many of them, the greengrocery represents dashed dreams, a step downward in status. Most Asian Americans know their "success"is largely a myth. They also see how the celebration of Asian Americans as a " model minority" perpetuates their inequality and exacerbates relations between them and African Americans. A. Even Japanese Americans, often touted for their upward mobility, have not reached equality. B. A survey showed that only 8 percent of Asian Americans were " officials" and " managers " , compared with 12 percent for all groups. C. Such comparisons pit minorities against each other and generate African American resentment toward Asian Americans. D. Engineers, teachers, or administrators while in Korea, they became shopkeepers after their arrival. E. Asian Americans have been described in the media as" excessively, even provocatively" successful in gaining admission to universities. F. For example, figures on the high earnings of Asian Americans relative to Caucasians are misleading. G. For all their hard work and long hours, most Korean shopkeepers do not actually earn very much. H. Comparing family incomes is even more deceptive.（分数：14.00）填空项1:__________________填空项1:__________________填空项1:__________________填空项1:__________________填空项1:__________________填空项1:__________________填空项1:__________________四、英译汉(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Please read the following passage and translate the underlined parts into Chinese.(40 points, 8 points each) How to Manage Time 【F1】The belief that time is a resource that must be monitored closely and managed carefully is one of the basic laws of our time-pressed world, as is the urge to do more and do it quicker. Is it any wonder our culture favors the young and energetic? Who else can accomplish the hundreds of tasks each of us must master in a typical day, as well as process the thousand bits of information rushing at us every hour? In my workshops at Omega and around the country on time-shifting—learning how to toggle between hyperproductivity and an awareness of the world around you—the first question I pose is" Do you feel that you have enough time in your daily lives?"Invariably, more than 90 percent declare an overwhelming sense of "time-poverty"—part of an epidemic of anxiety and pressure in our society. 【F2】 Ironically, in response, methods to improve our management of time have gained in popularity, along with new, speedier technology that helps us develop greater efficiency. Yet while these initially seem to help, they ultimately serve only to increase the speed of our lives. We learn to go faster and get more done—only to take on more work and responsibility. As a result, the future arrives that much quicker, and it begins to predominate. The "now" becomes a prelude to the "next". We do this so we can get to that. We work for the weekend, rush through lunch to get back to our desks, worry about next month"s deadline before this month is completed. We divide our attention and awareness between the task at hand that we"re rushing to complete and the next item on our day-planner. So, what is needed is to come into the present moment. Instead of rushing, take your time, let your rhythm slow down. You can rush late if you need to, but for now, simply perform the taskthat is in front of you, whether it"s washing the dishes or commuting to work. We spend our lives waiting for the important events to take place, rushing through these" in-between" moments. Yet the reality is that these in-betweens actually make up a significant portion of our lives. Allowing ourselves to be present in them and experience them fully is what makes us alive— and helps to keep us young. This involves developing a sense of mindfulness, a way of being that puts you fully in the moment without pressure or anxiety about staying on schedule. 【F3】It is a quality that each of us needs to learn how to cultivate more in our lives, awakening all of our senses and being comfortable in the present—to feel rooted, with no need to rush. Some will read this and wonder why they should slow down. Isn"t it okay to keep moving along with the progress of modern times? Isn"t it, in fact, necessary to do so? There really is no right or wrong answer;rather it is a question of how we feel about our lives. My experience has taught me that there is too much stress caused by the frantic pace at which most of us exist. The result is a disconnection from the world around us and our sense of being alive in it. 【F4】People report feeling trapped, powerless to effect any meaningful change, coping as best as they can yet knowing they don"t feel the way they would like to feel. The key is to step back from the edge, learn to get involved in the process rather than constantly longing for the end result. 【F5】This does not mean giving up our goal-oriented lives—simply modifying them, finding a balance between our productive and our emotional selves. This enables us to live as whole beings, fully alive. In response to the pace of our modern world, learning how to successfully shift time can be one of the keys to achieving both health and longevity as we continue to age.（分数：10.00）(1).【F1】（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ (2).【F2】（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ (3).【F3】（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ (4).【F4】（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ (5).【F5】（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 写作2.With the information given in the following graph, explain what is the greenhouse effect, what causes the greenhouse effect, and what we can do to reduce the greenhouse effect.(no less than150 words)methane: 2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________。

According to English law, a man is guilty of murder if he kills someone with the intention either to kill or to injure seriously. But he is guilty of the lesser crime of manslaughter if he has been sufficiently provoked or if his state of mind at that time was abnormal enough to reduce his responsibility. The legal test here is a comparison with the supposed ordinary man—the man on the Clapham omnibus, as the legal Cliché has it. Would that ordinary person feel provoked under similar circumstances? Was the accused's state of mind at the time of the killing very different from that of an average man?（分数：30.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(最近，我以专家证人的身份出席了一场谋杀案的审判，由此注意到一个由社会本质日益多元化造成的细微法律问题。

We know a world is an organism, not a machine.

They were the parents of two young children, they had been married nine years, they lived on the twelfth floor of an apartment house near Sutton Place, they went to the theater on an average of 10.3 times a year, and they hoped someday to live in Westchester. Irene Wescott was a pleasant, rather plain g订l with soft brown hair, and a wide, fine forehead upon which nothing at all had been written, and in the cold weather she wore a coat of fitch skins dyed to resemble mink. You could not say that Jim Westcott looked younger than he was, but you could at least say of him that he seemed to feel younger. He wore his graying hair cut very short, he dressed in the kind of clothes his class had worn at Andover, and his manner was earnest, vehement, and intentionally na'ive. The Westcotts differed from their friends, their classmates, and their neighbors, only in an interest they shared in serious music. They went to a great many concerts - although they seldom mentioned t压s to anyone - and they spent a good deal of time listening to music on the radio.Their radio was an old instrument, sensitive, unpredictable, and beyond repair. He promised to buy Irene a new radio, and on Monday when he came home from work he told her that he had got one. He refused to describe it, and said it would be a surprise for her when it came.The radio was delivered at the kitchen door the follo劝ng afternoon, and with the assistance of her maid and the handyman Irene uncrated it and brought it into the living room. She wasstruck at once with the physical ugliness of the large gumwood cabinet. Irene was proud of her living room, she.had chosen its furnishings and colors as carefully as she chose her clothes, and now it seemed to her that her new radio stood among her intimate possessions like an aggressive intruder. She was confounded by the number of dials and switches on the instrument panel, and she studied them thoroughly before she put the plug into a wall socket and turned the radio on. The dials flooded with a malevolent green light, and in the distance she heard the music of a piano quartet. The quintet was in the distance for only an instant; it bore down upon her with a speed greater than light and filled the apartment with the noise of music amplified so mightily that it knocked a china ornament from a table to the floor. She rushed to the instrument and reduced the volume. The violent forces that were snared in the ugly gumwood cabinet made her uneasy. Her children came home from schoc,l then, and she took them to the Park. It was not until later in the afternoon that she was able to return to the radio.The maid had given the children their suppers and was supervising their baths when Irene turned on the radio, reduced the volume, and sat down to listen to a Mozart quintet that she knew and enjoyed. The music came through clearly. The new instrument had a much purer tone, she thought, than the old one. She decided that tone was most important and that she could conceal the cabinet behind the sofa. But as soon as she had made her peace with the radio, the interference began. A crackling sound like the noise of a burning powder fuse began to accompany the singing of the strings. Beyond the music, there was a rustling that reminded Irene unpleasantly of the sea, and as the quintet progressed, these noises were joined by the many others. She tried all the dials and switches but nothing dimmed the interference, and she sat down, disappointed and bewildered, and tried to trace the flight of the melody. The elevator shaft in her building ran beside the living-room wall, and it was the noise of the elevator that gave her a clue to the character of the static. The rattling of the elevator cables and the opening and closing of the elevator doors were reproduced in her loudspeaker, and, realizing that the radio was sensitive to electrical currents of all sorts, she began to discern through the Mozart the ringing of telephone bells, the dialing of phones, and the lamentation of a vacuum cleaner. By listening more carefully, she was able to distinguish doorbells, elevator bells, electric razors, and Waring mixers, whose sounds had been picked up from the apartments that surrounded hers and transmitted through her loudspeaker. The powerful and ugly instrument, with its mistaken sensibility to discord, was more than·she could hope to master, so she turned the thing off and went into the nursery to see her children.When Jim came home that night, he was tired, and he took a bath and changed his clothes. Then he joined Irene in the living room. He had just turned on the radio when the maid .announced dinner, so he left it on, and Irene went to the table.Jim was too tired to make even·pretense of sociability, and there was nothing about the dinner to hold Irene's interest, so her attention wandered from the food to the deposits of silver polish on the candlesticks and from there to the music in the other room. She listened for a few minutes to a Chopin prelude and then was surprised to hear a man's voice break in. ."For Christ's sake, Kathy," he said, "do you always have to play the piano when I get home?" The music stopped abruptly. "It's the only chance I have," the woman said. "I'm at the office all day." "So am I," the man said. He added something obscene about an upright piano, and slammed a door. The passionate and m elancholy music began again."Did you hear that?" Irene asked."What?" Jim was eating his dessert."The radio. A man said something while the music was still going on -- something dirty.""It's probably a play.""I don't think it is a play," Irene said.They left the table and took their coffee into the living room. Irene asked Jim to try another station. He turned the knob. "Have you seen my garters?" A man asked. "Button me up," a woman said. "Have you seen my garters?" the man said again. "Just button me up and I'll find your ga廿ers," the woman said. Jim shifted to another station. "I wish you wouldn't leave apple cores in the ashtrays," a man said. "I hate the smell.""This is strange," Jim said."Isn't it?" Irene said.Jim turned the knob again. "'On the coast of Coromandel where the early pumpkins blow,"' a woman with a pronounced English accent said, "'in the middle of the woods lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo. Two old chairs, and half a candle, one old jug without a handle "' "My God!" Irene cried. "That's the Sweeneys' nurse.""'These were all his worldly goods,"' the British voice continued."Turn that thing off," Irene said."Maybe they can hear us." Jim switched the radio off. "That was Miss Armstrong, the Sweeneys' nurse," Irene said. "She must be reading to the little girl. They live in 17-B. I've talked with Miss Armstrong in the Park. I know her voice very well. We must be getting other people's apartments.""That's impossible," Jim said."Well, that was the Sweeneys' nurse," Irene said hotly. "I know her voice. I know it very well. I'm wondering if they can hear us."Jim turned the switch. First from a distance and then nearer, nearer, as if borne on the wind, came the pure accents of the Sweeneys' nurse again: '"Lady Jingly! Lady Jingly!"' she said, '"sitting where the pumpkins blow, will you come and be my wife? said the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo '"Jim went over to the radio and said, "Hello" loudly into the speaker.'"/ am tired of living singly, "' the nurse went on, '"on this coast so wild and shingly, I'm a-weary of my life; ifyou 'll come and be my wife, quite serene would be my life '""I guess she can't hear us," Irene said. "Try something else."Jim turned to another station, and the living room was filled with the uproar of a cocktail party that had overshot its mark. Someone was playing the piano and singing the "Whiffenpoof Song," and the voices that surrounded the piano were vehement and happy. "Eat some more sandwiches," a woman shrieked. 1h e r e were screams of laughter and a dish of some sort crashed to the floor."Those must be the Fullers, in 11-E," Irene said. "I knew they were giving a party this afternoon. I saw her in the liquor store. Isn't this too divine? Try something else. See if you can get those people in 18-C."The Westcotts overheard that evening a monologue on salmon fishing in Canada, a bridge game, running comments on home movies of what had apparently been a fortnight at Sea Island, and a bitter family quarrel about an overdraft at the bank. They turned off their radio at midnight and went to bed, weak with laughter.The following morning, Irene cooked breakfast for the family - the maid didn't come up from her room in the basement until ten - braided her daughter's hair, and waited at the door until her children and her husband had been carried away in the elevator. Then she went into the living room and tried the radio. "I don't want to go to school," a child screamed. "I hate school. I won't go to school. I hate school." "You will go to school," an enraged woman said. "We paid eight hundred dollars to get you into that school and you'll go if it kills you." The next number on the dial produced the worn record of the "Missouri Waltz." Irene shifted the control and invaded the privacy of several breakfast tables. She overheard demonstrations of indigestion, carnal love, abysmal vanity, faith, and despair. Irene's life was nearly as simple and sheltered as it appeared to be, and the forthright and sometimes brutal language that came from the loudspeaker that morning astonished and troubled her. She continued to listen until her maid came in. Then she turned off the radio quickly, since this insight, she realized, was a furtive one.Irene had a luncheon date with a friend that day, and she left her apartment a little after twelve.Irene had two Martinis at lunch, and she looked searchingly at her friend and wondered what her secrets were. They had intended to go shopping after lunch, but Irene excused herself and went home. She told the maid that she was not to be disturbed; then she went into the living room, closed the doors, and switched on the radio. She heard, in the course of the afternoon, the halting conversation of a woman entertaining her aunt, the hysterical conclusion of a luncheon party, and hostess briefing her maid about some cocktail guests. "Don't give the best Scotch to anyone who hasn't white hair," the hostess said. "See if you can get rid of the liver paste before you pass those hot things, and could you lend me five dollars? I want to tip the elevator man."As the afternoon waned, the conversations increased in intensity. From where Irene sat, she could see the open sky above the East River. There were hundreds of clouds in the sky, as though the south wind had broken the winter into pieces and were blowing it north, and on her radio she could hear the arrival of cocktail guests and the return of children and businessmen from their schools and offices. "I found a good-sized diamond on the bathroom floor this morning," a woman said. "It must have fallen out of the bracelet Mrs. Dunston was wearing last night." "We'll sell it," a man said. 'Take it down to the jeweler on Madison Avenue and sell it. Mrs. Dunston won'tknow the difference, and we could use a couple of hundred bucks " "'Oranges and lemons, say the bells of St. Clement's,'" the Sweeneys' nurse sang. "Halfpence and farthings, say the bells of St. Martin's. When will you pay me? say the bells at old Bailey ..."' "It's not a hat," a womancried, and at her back roared a cocktail party. "It's not a hat, it's a love affair. That's what Walter Florell said. He said it's not a hat, it's a love affair," and then, in a lower voice, the same woman added, "Talk to somebody, for Christ's sake, honey, talk to somebody. If she catches you standing here not talking to anybody, she'll take us off her invitation list, and I love these parties."Jim came home at about six the next night. Emma, the maid, let him in , and he had taken off his hat and was taking off his coat when Irene ran into the hall. Her face was shining with tears and her hair was disordered. "Go up to 16-C, Jim!" she screamed. "Don't take off your coat. Go up to 16-C. Mr Osborn's beating his wife. They've been quarreling since four o'clock, and now he is hitting her. Go up there and stop him."From the radio in the living room, Jim heard screams, obscenities, and thuds. "You know you don't have to listen to this sort of thing," he said. He strode into the living room and turned the switch. "It's indecent," he said. "It's like looking into windows. You know you don't have to listen to this sort of thing. You can turn it off.""Oh, it's so terrible, it's so dreaful," Irene was sobbing. I've been listening all day, and it's so depressing.""Well, if it's so depressing, why do you listen to it? I brought this dammed radio to give you some pleasure," he said. "I paid a great deal of money for it. I thought it might make you happy. I wanted to make you happy.""Don't , don't, don't,,don't quarrel with me," she moaned, and laid her head on his shoulder. "All the others have been quarreling all day. Everybody's been quarreling. They're all worried about money. Mrs. Hutchinson's mother is dying of cancer in Florida and they don't have enough money to send her to the Mayo Clinic. At least, Mr Hutchinson says they don't have enough money. And some woman in this building is having an affair with the handyman - with that hideous handyman. It's too disgusting. And Mrs. Melville has heart trouble, and Mr. Hendricks is going to lose his job in April and Mrs. Hendricks is horrid about the whole thing and that girl that plays the "Missouri Waltz" is a whore, a common whore, and the elevator man has tuberculosis and Mr. Osborn has been beating his wife." She wailed, she trembled with grief and checked the stream of tears down her face with the heel of her palm."Well why do you have to listen?" Jim asked again. "Why do you have to listen to this stuff if it makes you miserable?""Oh, don't, don't, don't," she cried; "Life is too terrible, too sordid and awful. But we'venever been like that, have we, darling"? Have we? I mean, we've always been good and decent and loving to one another, haven't we? And we have two children, two beautiful children. Our lives aren't sordid, are they, darling? Are they?" She flung her arms around his neck and drew his face down to hers. "We're happy, aren't we, darling? We are happy, aren't we?""Of course we're happy," he said tiredly. He began to surrender his resentment. "Of course we are happy. "I'll have that dammed radio fixed or taken away tomorrow." He stroked her soft hair. "My poor girl," he said."You love me, don't you? she asked. "And we're not hypercritical or worried about money or dishonesty, are we?"A man came in the morning and fixed the radio. Irene turned it on cautiously and was happy to hear a California-wine commercial and a recording of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, including Schiller's "Ode to Joy." She kept the radio on all day and nothing untoward came toward the speaker.A Spanish suite was being played when Jim came home. "Is everything all right?" he asked. His face was pale, she thought. They had some cocktails and went to dinner to the "Anvil Chorus" from II Trovatore. This was followed by Debussy's "La Mer.""I paid the bill for the radio today," Jim said. "It cost four hundred dollars. I hope you'll get some enjoyment out of it.""Oh, I'm sure I will," Irene said."Four hundred dollars is a good deal more than I can afford," he went on. "I wanted to get something that you'd enjoy. It's the last extravagance we'll indulge in this year. I see that you haven't paid your clothing bills yet. I saw them on.your dressing table." He looked directly at her. "Why did you tell me you paid them? Why did you lie to me?""I just didn't want you to worry, Jim," she said. She drank some water. "I'll be able to pay my bills out of this months allowance. There were the slipcovers last month, and that party.""You've got to learn to handle the money I give you a little more intelligently, Irene," he said. "You've got to understand that we don't have as much money this year as we had last. I had a very sobering talk with Mitchell today. No one is buying anything. We're spending all of our timepromoting new issues, and you know how long that takes. I'm not getting any younger you know. I'm thirty-seven. My hair will be gray next year. I haven't done as well as I hoped to do. And I don't suppose things will get any better.""Yes dear," she said."We've got to start cutting down," Jim said. "We've got to think of the children. To be perfectly frank with you, I worry about money a great deal. I'm not at all sure of the future. No one is. If anything should happen to me, there's the insurance, but that won't go very far today. I've worked awfully hard to give you and the children a comfortable life," he said bitterly. "I don't like to see all my energies, all my youth, wasted in fur coast and radios and slipcovers and -""Please Jim," she said. "Please. They'll hear us.""Who'll hear us? Emma can't hear us.""The Radio.""Oh, I'm sick! He shouted. "I'm sick to death of your apprehensiveness. The radio can't hear us. Nobody can hear us. And what if they can hear us? Who cares?"Irene got up from the table and went into the living room. Jim went to the door and shouted from there. "Why are you so Christly all of a sudden? What's turned you overnight into a convent girl? You stole your mother's jewelry before they probated her will. You never gave your sister a cent of that money that was intended for her - not even when she needed it. You made Grace Rowland's life miserable, and where was all your all your piety and your virtue when you went to that abortionist? I'll never forget how cool you were. You packed your bag and went off to have that child murdered as if you were going to Nassau. If you had any reasons, if you had any good reasons -Irene stood for a minute before the hideous cabinet , disgraced and sickened, but she held her hand on the switch before she extinguished the music and the voices, hoping the instrument might speak to her kindly, that she might hear the Sweeney's nurse. Jim continued to shout at her from the door. The voice on the radio was suave and noncommital. "An early-morning railroad disaster in Tokyo," the loudspeaker said, "killed twenty-nine people. A frre in a Catholic hospital near Buffalo for the care of blind children was extinguished early this morning by nuns. The temperature is forty-seven. The humidity is eighty-nine."。

But garagesand cotton gins had encroached and obliterated even the august names of that neighborhood; only Miss Emily"s house was left, lifting its stubborn and coquettish decay above the cotton wagons and the gasoline pumps— an eyesore among eyesores. And now Miss Emily had gone to join the representatives of those august names where they lay in the cedar-bemused cemetery among the ranked and anonymous graves of Union and confederate soldiers who fell at the battle of Jefferson(the Town of Jefferson).Alive, Miss Emily had been a tradition, a duty, and a care; a sort of heredity obligation upon the town, dating from that day in 1894 when Colonel Sartoris invented an involved tale to the effect that Miss Emily"s father had loaned money to the town, which the town, as a matter of business, preferred this way of repaying. Only a man of Colonel Sartoris" generation and thought could have invented it, and only a woman could have believed it.This section above is an excerpt from William Faulkner"s short story A Rose for Emily. Please answer the following questions according to the excerpt:（分数：6.00）(1).What is the town people"s response toward Emily"s death and what"s the reason for that? Use your own words to give an illustration.(3 points)（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ (2).These paragraphs typically show Faulkner"s major concern in literary writing. Please explain Faulkner"s literary concern in general with one representative work except this short story.(4 points)（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ (3).In the 3rd paragraph, Miss Emily is referred to as "a tradition". What does this tradition mean? When the paragraph ends with the sentence " Only a man of Colonel Sartoris" generation and thought could have invented it, and only a woman could have believed it" , what information does the writer want to give to his readers?(4 points)（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________。
