units called quanta or photons.
A. energy that
B. that it is
energy

favor ptarmigans
B. being
ptarmigans’ and birdwatchers’ favorites
C. favored by
both ptarmigans and birdwatchers

the surface

A. pun
B. metonymy
C. zeugma
D. syllepsis
【答案】C
【解析】句意：“昨天他心情差，穿了件蓝色的外套。”在原句中。blue分别搭配了heart and coat，且含义不一样。Zeugma轭式搭配法是用一个词（动词、形容词或介词）与两个以上的在意义上不相干的名词搭配。pun双关语。metonymy转喻。syllepsis 一语双叙法。因此，本题的正确答案为C。
22 “By day’s

【答案】B
【解析】句意：“不列颠女神统驭四海，墨索里尼无法无天。”regression回环，回文。paregmenon同源词并列。paradox自相矛盾。zeugma轭式修饰法。因此，本题的正确答案为B。

when it comes to marriage, practicing beforehand doesn’t make perfect.” That is
an example of_____.
A. oxymoron
B. transferred
epithet
C. malapropism
D. parody
【答案】D
【解析】句意：很明显，在婚姻里，熟不一定能生巧。“practicing beforehand doesn’t make perfect”是模仿英语中的名言“practice makes
perfect.”。parody仿拟。oxymoron矛盾修饰法。transferred epithet移就。malapropism可笑的用词错误（尤指用发音相似而意义全非的词）。因此，本题的正确答案为D。
25 “The
one in the brown suit gaped at her. Blue suit grinned, might even have winked.
The big nose in grey suit still stared—and he had small angry eyes and did not
even smile.” That is an example of_____.
A. hyperbole
B. transferred
epithet
C. metonymy
D. oxymoron
【答案】C
【解析】原文中“Blue
suit grinned, might even have winked.” “suit”不可能grin或wink，这里“suit”指的是“suit”里头的人。因此，运用的修辞手法是转喻。metonymy转喻。hyperbole夸张。transferred epithet移就，转移修饰。oxymoron矛盾修饰法。因此，本题的正确答案为C。
Part III Reading Comprehension (15%)
Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage
is followed by some questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there
are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should write your choices on the
Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
For years,
millions of Americans and people from around the world have crowded into the well-known
major parks. They have read the travel literature or heard firsthand reports
about these wonders, and naturally they’ve had to see for themselves.
At times,
visiting some of our parks has become more like rubbing elbows at a jam-packed Major
League baseball game than sensing the solitude of the wilderness. We have tried
to see the most and the best in the least amount of time. We have jumped into
cars and campers and rushed off to cover a dozen parks in a week or two—madly
snapping photographs as we go.
26 According to
the passage, many Americans visit the major parks because _____
A. they like the
well-known major parks.
B. they want to
gain the same knowledge as others.
C. they want to
show the pictures of those parks to their friends.
D. they don’t
care for the historic parks.
27 We can infer
from the passage that _____
A. people should
not visit several parks superficially.
B. people should
not spend more time thinking about the park itself.
C. people should
visit the famous parks in America.
D. people should
drive around the parks.
【答案与解析】
26 A文章第一段最后一句提到“they have read the
travel literature or heard firsthand reports about these wonders, and naturally
they’ve had to see for themselves.”由此可推测，吸引游客的主要原因是他们对名气大的公园的喜爱。故选A。
27 A文章第二段提到公园里时常挤满了参观者，参观者总是抱着花最少的时间参观最多的公园的心态，由此可推测作者是在建议参观者在参观公园时不应流于表面。故选A。
Passage 2

faculty and staff on the University payroll, when applying for an annual permit
,may authorize payment of their parking fees by payroll deduction. The first
deduction will include the regular monthly deduction of $15.00 plus a one-time

prior parking charges.
C. apply before
the first deduction period.
D. park at the
University regularly.
【答案与解析】
28 C文章开头介绍了整篇短文的对象“full-time faculty
and staff”。故选c。

staff on the University payroll, when applying for an annual permit ,may
authorize payment of their parking fees by payroll deduction.”条件是“applying for an annual
permit”。故选A。
Passage 3
The science of
linguistics has helped to reconstruct the long road the ancestors of modern day
Indians traveled in North America. At the time of the discovery of the New
World, the explorers found a babel of tongues. In North and South America more
languages were spoken—about 2,200 of them—than all of Europe and Asia at that
time. Despite what some early explorers and European scholars believed, there
never was such a language as “American Indian”—meaning, presumably, one common
language with only local dialects. Rather than one common language that linked
tile Indians of North America, about 550 distinct languages were spoken, and
nearly every language comprised numerous dialects. A second misconception was
that a language had to be written to rank as a full-fledged language. In North
America, a truly written language developed only in Mexico, yet most Indian
groups were able to communicate a rich unwritten tradition of poetry, oratory,
and drama.
30 When
explorers discovered North America, ____.
A. there was one
common language spoken throughout the land.
B. they
discovered a placed called Babel.
C. written
language was an important means of communication.
D. there were
many languages spoken, most with many dialects.
31 An incorrect
belief of some early scholars was that ____.
A. 550 distinct
languages were spoken in North America.
B. the American
Indian language had many dialects.
C. more
languages were spoken in North America than in Europe.
D. to be a real
language, a language had to be written.
32 Which of the
following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Only Mexican
Indians communicated through poetry, drama, and oration.
B. Most Indian
languages were rich in poetry, oratory arid drama.
C. Only written
Indian languages were rich in poetry, oratory, and drama.
D. North
American Indians did not develop a truly written language.
【答案与解析】
30 D文章中第二句提到“At the time of the
discovery of the New World, the explorers found a babel of tongues.”紧接着第三句提到在北美和南美发现的语言更多，大约有2200种语言。由此可知，新大陆刚被发现时，当地有许多种的语言。故选D。
31 D文章中间部分提到“A second misconception
was that a language had to be written to rank as a full-fledged language.”早期学者的一个错误观念是语言必须有其书写形式才称得上是成熟的语言。对应选项D。选项A、B、C反映的都是真实存在的事实，并非学者的错误观念。故选D。
32 B定位至文章中最后一句：“In North America, a
truly written language developed only in Mexico, yet most Indian groups were
able to communicate a rich unwritten tradition of poetry, oratory, and drama.”A项错在主题范围缩小至Mexican Indians，应为most Indians，故B正确。C错在written language，应为unwritten language。D错在全盘否定，Mexican Indians发展了书面语。故选B。
Passage 4
In general, our
society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic
management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog in the machinery. The
oiling is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories and piped music,
and by psychologists and “human – relations” experts; yet all this oiling does
not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he is bored with it. In
fact, the blue and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets who
dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management.
The worker and
employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job;
they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction
of interesting life. They live and die without ever having confronted the
fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually
independent and productive human beings.
Those higher up
on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than
those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They
are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a
matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for
their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right
mixture of submissiveness and independence. From the moment on they are tested
again and again—by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and
by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to get
along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than
one’s fellow—competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of
unhappiness and illness.
Am I suggesting
that we should return to the preindustrial mode of production or to
nineteenth-century “free enterprise “capitalism? Certainly not. Problems are
never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest
transforming our social system form a bureaucratically managed industrialism in
which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist
industrialism in which man and full development of his potentialities—those of
all love and of reason—are the aims of social arrangements. Production and
consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented
from ruling man.
33 By “a
well-oiled cog in the machinery “the author intends to deliver the idea that
man is ____.
A. a necessary
part of the society though each individual’s function is negligible
B. working in complete
harmony with the rest of the society
C. an
unimportant part in comparison with the rest of the society
D .a humble
component of the society, especially when working smoothly
34 The real
cause of the anxiety of the workers and employees is that ____.
A. they are
likely to lose their hobs
B. they have no
genuine satisfaction or interest in life
C. they are
faced with the fundamental realities of human existence
D. they are
deprived of their individuality and independence
35 From the
passage we can conclude that real happiness of life belongs to those _____.
A. who are at
the bottom of the society
B .who are
higher up in their social status
C. who prove
better than their fellow-competitors
D. who could dip
far away from this competitive world
36 To solve the
present social problems the author puts forward a suggestion that we should
______.
A. resort to the
production mode of our ancestors
B. offer higher
wages to the workers and employees
C. enable man to
fully develop his potentialities
D. take the
fundamental realities for granted
【答案与解析】
33 D定位至文章的第一段第一句，作者紧接着补充“yet all
this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he is
bored with it”，随后又把人比喻为“economic puppets”（经济傀儡），根据这些关键词可知把人比喻成机器中的齿轮是暗示人受社会的牵引，失去了主动性。故选D。
34 B文章第二段第一句解释了员工焦虑的两大原因，一是失业的担忧，二是没有在工作中获得满足感和挖掘出乐趣。选项A对应第一个原因，选项B对应第二个原因。原文采用的是“not only…but also…”结构，强调的是后半部分。故选第二个原因B。
35 D文章第三段开头提到“Those higher up on the
social ladder are no less anxious.”，由此可知处于社会底层和高层的人都十分焦虑，故排除A、B。第三段最后一句提到不断的竞争是不快乐的根源，故排除C。故选D。
36 C文章最后一段倒数第二句提到“I suggest
transforming our social system form… into a humanist industrialism in which man
and full development of his potentialities”,由此可知作者的建议是社会制度应朝着开发人的工作潜能方面发展。故选C。
Passage 5
The newspaper
must provide for the reader the facts, pure, unprejudiced, objectively selected
facts. But in these days the complex news it must provide more; it must supply
explanation, the meaning of the facts. This is the most important assignment
facing American journalism―to make clear to the reader the problems of the day,
to make international news understandable as community news, to recognize that
there is no longer any such thing（with the possible exception of society news）as “local” news, because any
event in the international area has local reaction in the financial market,
political circles, indeed, of our very way of life.
There is in
journalism a widespread view that when you consider giving an explanation, you
are entering dangerous water, the swirling tides of opinion. This is nonsense.
The opponents of
explanation insist that the writer and the editor shall confine himself to the
“facts”. This insistence raises two questions. What are the facts? And are the
bare facts enough?
As for the first
question, consider how a so-called “factual” story comes about. The reporter
collects, say, fifty facts; out of these fifty, his space being necessarily
restricted, he selects the ten that he considers most important. This is
Judgment Number One. Then he or his editor decides which of these ten facts
shall constitute the beginning of the article. (this is an important decision
because many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph) This is
Judgment Number Two. Then the night editor decides whether the article shall be
presented on page one, where it has a large influence, or on page twenty-four,
where it has little. Judgment Number Three.
Thus in the show
of a so-called “factual” of “objective” story, at least three judgments are
involved. And they are judgments not at all unlike those involved in
explanation, in which reporter and editor, calling upon their research
resources, their general background, and their “news neutralism”, arrive at a
conclusion as to the importance of the news.
The two areas of
judgment, presentation of the news and its explanation, are both objective
rather than subjective processes―as objective, that is, as any human being can
be. (Note in passing; even though complete objectivity can never be achieved,
nevertheless the ideal must always be the light in the murky news channels) If
an editor is intern on giving a prejudiced view of the news, he can do it in
other ways and more effectively than by explanation. He can do it by the
selection of those facts that support his particular viewpoint. Or he can do it
by the play he gives a story promoting it to page one or putting it on page
thirty.
60 The best
title for this passage is _____.
A. Function of
the Night Editor
B. Explaining
the News
C. Subjective
versus objective Processes
D. Choosing
Facts
61 The author
implies that_____.
A. in writing a
factual story, the writer must use judgment
B. the writer
should limit himself to the facts
C. reporters
give a prejudiced view of the facts
D. editors
control what the reporters write
62 The
beginning sentence should present the most important fact because_____.
A. it will
influence the reader to continue
B. most readers
don’t advance beyond the first paragraph
C. it is the
best way to write according to the schools of journalism
D .it details
the general attitude of the writer
63 Readers are
justified in thinking that the most important aspect of the news reported in
the newspaper is that it should be_____.
A .explained in
detail
B. edited
properly
C .objectively
reported
D. impartial
【答案与解析】
60 B文章开头以新闻越发复杂的现状开始，随后就是否为新闻事实进行解释引出两方对立的观点。然后描述了新闻中甄选事实依据的三大标准，分析呈现事实和解释事实的主客观性。由此可知，本文主要还是围绕“解释新闻”这一点展开讨论的。故选B。
61 B文章第五段开头提到“Thus in the show of a
so-called “factual” of “objective” story, at least three judgments are involved.”，对应选项A。B文章未提及作者的态度。C属于断章取义，定位至最后一段可知这仅是作者的一个假设。D属于夸大说辞，最后一段提到editors有除开解释之外的其他方式表达观点，但没有提到控制reporters。故选A。
62 B文章第四段中间部分提到“this is an important
decision because many readers do not proceed beyond the first paragraph”，由此可知原因是多数读者只读第一段，故选B。
63 A文章主要是讲述解释新闻，A项最符合题意。B项排版问题文章未做重点讲，C、D项意思相同，故选A。

Section A (From English into Chinese; 15%)
1 In the early
stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love
and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we
always tend to take this for granted. It is only after marriage and having kids
that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings. Kids make a
person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better.
【参考译文】
在我们的人生早期，我们的父母给予我们无条件的关心和照顾，他们教会我们什么是对与错，什么是好与坏。然而，我们总认为这是理所当然的。只有当我们结婚并有了孩子之后，一个人才会懂得并关注别人的感受。孩子让人变得有责任感，变得成熟，并帮助我们更好地理解生活。
2 Materialistic
happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others
face gives a certain level of fulfillment. Peace of mind is the main link to
happiness. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of
happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved
one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and pass away.
【参考译文】
物质上的快乐往往是短暂的，然而给别人带来欢乐而带来的快乐，那种满足是无与伦比的。内心的平静与快乐密切相关。没有宁静，内心无法幸福。悲伤的时候，我们往往能够体会到快乐的真谛。悲伤基本上是由于爱人的离去，失败和绝望而产生的。但这样的事情总是短暂的，终究会过去的。
3 Failure is
the path to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and
shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect.
Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder. The only way
to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble,
modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
【参考译文】
失败是成功的必经之路。它让我们触及蓝天，教会我们如何生存，为我们指引一条特别的路。成功给予我们金钱，名誉，骄傲，自尊。此刻，保持头脑清醒尤为重要。感谢上帝给予我们成功的唯一方法是对那些不幸的人保持谦卑、礼貌和尊敬的态度。
4 Hope is what
keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes
us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the
darkest hour, because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the
same. We have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
【参考译文】
希望是人生活动力之源。父母总是希望孩子做得好。希望使我们拥有梦想，希望使我们变得有耐心。生命教育我们即使在最黑暗的时刻也不要绝望，因为黑暗过后终将是黎明。我们惟有充满希望继续前行。
5 Life teaches
us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control.
Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So the only
alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
【参考译文】
生命教导我们不要后悔昨天。因为昨天已经过去并且我们无法控制。明天是未知的，因为它有可能是光明的，也有可能是黑暗的。所以唯一的选择就是今天好好工作，这样我们才可以享受更好的明天。
Section B(From Chinese into English; 15%)
从我居室的窗口望出去，可以看到一株高高的芙蓉树。在那烟树参差的春日里花红点点，煞是迷人。它牵动我的灵感，撩拨我的文思，久而久之，我竟视这位隔窗而立的“邻居”为知己了。
可是，有一个早晨，我推窗而望，蓦然发现昨夜的一场风雨已将它剥蚀得面目全非。立时，一种“繁花落尽”的悲凉掠过了我的心头！我不由感慨系之：在人生道路上磕磕绊绊，几经周折，几度沧桑，又一次次地失落了许多至爱的朋友，生命不正如同这随风而逝的繁花么？！
这件事过了些时日，也就渐渐地淡忘了。一次，我下乡归来，感觉到室内空气有些沉闷，就不经意地打开了窗户，顿觉眼前一亮：一树火红的三角梅映入眼帘，它在夕阳的背景下定格。意外的惊喜使我几乎不能自制，我诧异，当初在落英的背后，为什么竟没有发现这萌动着的不屈的生命呢？
是的，芙蓉的最后一叶花瓣凋落了，人们对它的嘉许也遗忘在往昔的记忆里，可是三角梅却成长了，那火焰般灿烂耀眼的红色向人们昭示着生命的更迭与延续。谁能说，失去与获得不是一曲交响乐呢？
【参考译文】
From my bedroom
window could I see a tall hibiscus tree. In spring, plenty of flowers were so
charming in the mist. It affected my inspiration and tricks my thoughts in
writing. As time went on, I should treat this “neighbor” standing by my window
as my intimate friends.
But one morning,
I opened the window only to find it beyond recognition, denudated by the wind
and rain last night. Immediately the sadness of “glory gone” crossed my mind! I
can’t help sighing that life, full of setbacks, rises, falls, frequent losses
of be loved friends is so bumpy that it is exactly the same as the prosperity
gone with the win D.
After several
days, I gradually forget it. Once, when I turned back from the county, feeling
the air heavy in the room, I opened the window casually. All of a sudden, it
was such a specular scenery in front of me：a fiery-red bougainvillea came into my sight, and it frizzed in the
background of sunset. Such a pleasant surprise made me out of control, I
wondered why I had had no idea of such unyielding life sprouting over the
fallen petals.
As the last
withered petal dropped, people’s praise of it was left in the old memories.
However, bougainvillea grows and its flaming and dazzling red showed to people
the alternation and continuity of life. Can’t it be said that life is actually
a symphony of loss and gain？

Promises
Promises are
commonly seen in our daily life, for instance, one promises to hand in his
assignments or to pay back his debts before the deadline. It is the promise
that keeps many things run smoothly. However, the premise is that these
promises should be kept.
In Journey To
the West ,a great Chinese masterpiece, there is a popular story about promise.
When Tang Priest and his three apprentices finished their pilgrimage, on the
way back to Tang they met an extremely wide river. Fortunately, a river god
they knew bore them to cross the river. When the river god asking Tang Priest
whether he had reported his words to the Buddaha, Tang realized he had
forgotten this promise. The river god was so angry that he threw them into the
river, making their Buddist scriptures almost wet even nearly broken. This
story tells us keeping promises will build interpersonal trust, otherwise it
may cause some punishments.
Promises are
easy to vow but not easy to keep. Promises keeping has always been regarded as
a crucial criterion when judging a person. Keeping in mind that once a promise
is made, we should make efforts to realize it.
