Ⅱ. Reading Comprehension
(40 points)

Read the following
passages and answer the questions that follow.

Passage 1

Gossip must be
nearly as old as language itself. It was, I imagine, the earliest recreational
use of the spoken word. First the cave man learned to describe that location of
the plumpest bison, and then he began to report and speculate on the doings of
his neighbors in the cave next door. And yet, for all its antiquity, gossip has
rarely received its due, its very name connotes idleness, time-wasting, frivolity
and worse. Gossip is the unacknowledged poor relative of civilized conversation:
Almost everyone does it but hardly anyone will admit to or defend it and of
these only the smallest and most shameless fraction will own up to enjoying it.

My mother and
her friends are eloquent on the subject and on the distinction between
gossiping and exchanging information: “John got a new job,” is, they say, information.
“Hey, did you hear John got fired?” is gossip; which is, they agree, predominantly
scurrilous, mean-spirited. That’s the
conventional wisdom on gossip and why it’s so
tempting to disown. Not long ago I heard myself describe a friend, half-jokingly,
as “a much better person than I am, that is,
she doesn’t gossip so much.” I heard my voice distorted by that same false note
that sometimes creeps into it when social strain and some misguided notion of amiability
make me assent to opinions I don’t really
share. What in the world was I talking about?

I don’t, of course, mean rumor-mongering, outright
slander, willful fabrication meant to damage and undermine. But rather, ordinary
gossip, incidents from and analyses of the lives of our heroes and heroines,
our relatives, acquaintances and friends. The fact is, I love gossip, and
beyond that, I believe in it-in its purposes, its human uses.

Question 1 What does “gossip has rarely
received its due” mean in the first paragraph? (2 points)

Question 2 Please paraphrase “Gossip is the unacknowledged poor
relative of civilized conversation” and explain what figure of speech is used
in this sentence. (3 points)

Question 3 What are the attitudes of the ancient people and the
author’s mother towards gossip? (3 points)
Does the author agree with them? Why or Why not? (2 points)

【参考答案】

1 It means that the gossip was not taken seriously in the ancient
times.

2 Gossip and civilized conversation should not be mentioned in the
same breath; Gossip is inferior to civilized conversation.

This sentence
uses a metaphor, because it describes gossip by referring to the unacknowledged
poor relative of civilized conversation for comparison without specific
figurative words.

3 As for the ancient people, almost everyone does the gossip but
hardly anyone will admit to or defend it and of these only the smallest and
most shameless fraction will own up to enjoying it. As for the author’s mother, she thinks gossip is predominantly
scurrilous, mean-spirited. The author does not agree with them because he loves
gossip, and he believes in it-in its purposes and its human uses.

Passage 2

If you were
asked who shot Lee Harvey Oswald you would probably say Jack Ruby. But there’s another possible answer to the question: the
photographer who shot those staggering pictures of Ruby gunning him down. And
what has teased my mind ever since is wondering whether, if he had dropped his
camera and grabbed the gunman, we might, with Oswald alive, know more than we
will ever now be able to find out about why Kennedy died.

Journalists and
TV people, we know, are supposed to record what goes on; but in trying to get
the best record they can, they may sometimes seem amazingly cold-blooded. In
the massacre that followed the British quitting India,
there was a photographer who made a sorrowing Indian family bury and rebury its
dead member several times till he got a perfect shot. A BBC sound man
held up a Nigerian execution for half an hour while he adjusted his sound
equipment; you could say it didn’t make any
difference to the final outcome, but it doesn’t
make you feel especially warm towards the man concerned.

Should these
journalists and photographers join in, or just stand back and watch while
people kill one another? It’s a tricky ethical
question, not just a matter of how brave anyone is feeling at the time; because
without authentic pictures, how will the world know, how should the world
believe what atrocities are committed? One dead
photographer does not do much for the cause he cares about, even if he did feel
compelled to weigh in and take sides.

Question 4 What figure of speech is used in the sentence in boldface
in paragraph 2? Please explain how it functions. (3 points)

Question 5 Please paraphrase the last
sentence. (3 points)

Question 6 Is the question that begins
paragraph 3 answered within the paragraph? If “yes”, what is the answer? If
“no”, what does the question lead to (4 points)

【参考答案】

4 Hyperbole. The author described the photographer “bury and rebury
its dead member several times” to emphasize that the photographer felt guilty
and full of remorse because he did not save his life but to take photos first.

5 Even though a photojournalist thought he needed to take a stand
and support one party, once he died, it would not help much in the business he
was concerned about.

6 No. According to the sentence “because without authentic
pictures, how will the world know, how should the world believe what atrocities
are committed?”, it can be found that the author believes that the journalists
need take photos to record the atrocities. However, the journalists’ standing back to take photos is an act of
atrocity.

Passage 3

Genetics is the
field of science that looks at how traits (such as eye color) are passed down
from parents to their children through genes. It also looks at the reasons
related organisms (or living things) are alike or different.

Genes are
pieces of DNA that have instructions on how to make the proteins the body needs
to function. Genes affect inherited (hereditary) traits, or those that are
passed on from a parent to a child, such as hair color, eye color, and height. They
also affect whether a person is likely to develop certain diseases, such as cancer.

In humans,
genes are located on 23 pairs of chromosomes. One of each chromosome pair comes
from the mother, the other from the father. Each chromosome can contain
hundreds or thousands of genes that are passed from the parents to the child.
The genes you were born with are in every cell of your body.

Genes play an
important role in the development of cancer. Changes in genes are called
mutations. Mutations can cause cells to grow out of control, which can lead to
cancer. Usually several gene changes are needed before a cell becomes cancer.
Some of these changes may be inherited from a parent. Only about 5% to 10% of
all cancers are thought to have an inherited component that strongly affects a
person’s risk for a certain type of cancer.

In other cases,
mutations start in one gene during a person’s
lifetime. These are the most common types of mutations that result in cancer.
These mutations only affect the cells that grow from the mutated cell, and not
the rest of the cells in the person’s body.
For instance, a cancer tumor will have mutations in all of the tumor cells, but
the non-cancerous cells of the body will not have those gene changes.

(The
introduction part extracted from an article on Genetic Testing from a document
of American Cancer Society.)

Question 7 Please summarize what Genetic
Testing is according to this passage. (2 points)

Question 8 What’s
the relationship between Genetic Testing and cancer? (3 points)

Question 9 What people are more necessary
to have Genetic Testing? (2 points)

Question 10 Try to translate the following
terms into Chinese according to the context. (3 points)

inherited
traits _____

genetic
mutations _____

chromosome
pairs _____

【参考答案】

7 The so-called genetic testing is to predict if one is likely to
suffer from genetic disease in the future through gene detection of defects is
found.

8 Genetic Testing can find the changes in genes which are called
mutations, and the mutations can cause cells to grow out of control, which can
lead to cancer.

9 The people may have changed genes which are inherited from their
parents who had a certain type of cancer. These people are more necessary to
have Genetic Testing.

Passage 4

Although many
of us may feel air-conditioners bring relief from hot, humid or polluted outside
air, they pose many potential health hazards. Much research has looked at how
the circulation of air inside a closed environment—-such as an office
building—can spread disease or expose occupants to harmful chemicals.

One of the more
widely publicized dangers is that of Legionnaire’s
disease, which was first recognized in the 1970s. This was found to have
affected people in buildings with air-conditioning systems in which warm air
pumped out of the system’s cooling towers was
somehow sucked back into the air intake, in most cases due to poor design. This
warm air was, needless to say, the perfect environment for the rapid growth of
disease-carrying bacteria originating from outside the building, where it
existed in harmless quantities. The warm, bacteria-laden air was combined with
cooled, conditioned air and was then circulated around various parts of the
building. Studies showed that even people outside such buildings were at risk
if they walked past air exhaust ducts. Cases of Legionnaire’s disease are becoming fewer with newer system
designs and modifications to older systems, but many older buildings,
particularly in developing countries, require constant monitoring.

The ways in
which air-conditioners work to “clean” the air can inadvertently cause health
problems, too. One such way is with the use of an electrostatic precipitator,
which removes dust and smoke particles from the air. What precipitators also
do, however, is emit large quantities of positive air ions into the ventilation
system. A growing number of studies show that overexposure to positive air ions
can result in headaches, fatigue and feelings of irritation.

Large
air-conditioning systems add water to the air they circulate by means of
humidifiers. In older systems, the water used for this process is kept in
special reservoirs, the bottoms of which provide breeding grounds for bacteria
and fungi which can find their way into the ventilation system. The risk to
human health from this situation has been highlighted by the fact that the
immune systems of approximately half of workers in air-conditioned office
buildings have developed antibodies to fight off the organisms found at the
bottom of system reservoirs. Chemical disinfectants, called “biocides”, that
are added to reservoirs to make them germ-free, are dangerous in their own
right in sufficient quantities, as they often contain compounds such as
pentachlorophenol, which is strongly linked to abdominal cancers.

Question 11 What is Legionnaire’s disease? (3 points)

Question 12 What substances can be found
directly from an old ventilation system? (3 points)

Question 13 In what ways will the ill
effect that air-conditioning may have threaten the human body? (4 points)

【参考答案】

11 Legionnaire’s disease is one
widely publicized danger caused by the old air-conditioning systems in which
warm air pumped out of the system’s cooling
towers was somehow sucked back into the air intake, carrying the bacteria.

12 Large quantities of positive air ions can be found directly from
an old ventilation system.

13 By using electrostatic precipitator, over exposure to positive
air ions can result in headaches, fatigue and feelings of irritation. Chemical
disinfectants which are added to reservoirs to make them germ-free are strongly
linked to abdominal cancers.

Ⅲ. Translation (40
points)

Translate the following
passage into Chinese. (20points)

I was always
fond of visiting new scenes, and observing strange characters and manners. Even
when a mere child I began my travels, and made many tours of discovery into
foreign parts and unknown regions of my native city, to the frequent alarm of
my parents, and the emolument of the town crier. As I grew into boyhood, I
extended the range of my observations. My holiday afternoons were spent in
ramble about the surrounding country. I made myself familiar with its places
famous in history or fable. I knew every spot where a murder or robbery had
been committed, or a ghost seen. I visited the neighboring villages, and added
greatly to my stock of knowledge, by noting their habits and customs, and conversing
with their sages and great men. I even journeyed one long summer’s day to the summit of the most distant hill,
whence I stretched my eye over many a mile of terra incognita, and was
astonished to find how vast a globe I inhabited.

【参考译文】

我总喜爱游览新奇美景，观赏奇风异俗。幼年之时，我便四处漫游，走过不少地方，深入故土的穷乡僻壤，作一番探索。为此，父母常感惊恐，不过公告传报员却受益不少。及至少年，观察范围更趋广泛。每逢假日下午，我便畅游四周。由此，历史上或传说中的著名地方，我无不知晓。哪里有过凶杀抢劫，哪里出现过幽灵，我均能告知。我去邻近的村庄，观察其风俗习惯，与贤明之士和不凡人物交谈，从而知识大增。在一个漫长的夏日，我甚至远走他乡，爬上一座高山，极目远眺，凝视尚未去过的陌生地带。目睹我所居住的地球广阔无垠，我惊叹不已。

Translate the following
passage into English. (20 points)

中国人动不动就说：我们地大物博。那也就是说，我们不用着急呀，我们有的是东西，永远都吃不完喝不尽哪！哼，请看看你们的狗吧！

还有：狗虽那么摸不着吃，那么随便就被人踢两脚，打两棍，可是它们还照旧的替人们服务。尽管它们饿成皮包着骨，尽管它们刚被主人踹了两脚，他们还是极忠诚地去尽看门守夜的责任。狗永远不嫌主人穷。这样的动物理应得到人们的赞美，而忠诚、义气、安贫、勇敢，等等好字眼都该归之于狗。可是，我不晓得为什么中国人不分黑白的把汉奸与小人叫做走狗，倒仿佛狗是不忠诚不义气的动物。我为狗喊冤叫屈！

【参考译文】

We are apt to
declare that ours is a big country with rich natural resources, meaning that
there is no need for us to worry because we have plenty of everything to last
us forever and ever. Well, why not take a look at our dogs!

Dogs always
remain man’s faithful servants though they are
underfed and kicked and beaten without any reason. A dog continues to perform
with loyal devotion the duty of guarding the door and keeping watch at night
though he has been starved to a skeleton and kicked at by his master. He never
minds how poor his master is. Such an animal deserves our high praise. We
should attribute to them such laudatory epithets as “devotion”, “loyalty”,
“content with poverty”, “courage”, etc. But I wonder why we have been
undiscriminatingly calling traitors and villains “running dogs”, as if dogs
were disloyal and unfaithful animals. I should voice grievances for them!

2 Read the following
topic and write at least 250 words. (20 points)

In 2010, there
took place a series of grisly murder cases victimizing defenseless young
elementary school children and kindergarten kids in China. Briefly analyze
these cases. What do you think are the causes of these cases? And what
solutions can you suggest?

【参考范文】

Recently, there
have been continuous campus security incidents throughout the country which attract
people’s attention. People can’t help asking why there exist such brutal and
abnormal bandits and why the kindergarten allows strangers in? While the
relevant departments are investigating the responsibility of the responsible
persons, they are also thinking about what measures should be taken to avoid
the recurrence of the tragedy.

There are some
similarities among the murderers. Most of them are young and middle-aged males
who have poor income or stay unemployed. They often have poor psychological endurance
and lack of sound personality. In the face of difficulties, they feel so
frustrated and hopeless that they choose to take extreme behavior instead of
working hard to improve their lives. They abandon themselves and have no urge
to make progress in the future. In addition, these murderers more or less have
mental health problems.

In order to stay
away from the hidden danger of campus security, the solutions of the problems
should put forward from three aspects. From the perspective of the murderers,
it is important to strengthen the humanistic concern and psychological
counseling which can contribute to the constructing of positive psychological
character. If there are mental patients in the family, the family should
accompany them and watch them carefully. What the parents should do is to
enhance the fostering of the children’s
cognitive ability and self-rescue ability. Besides, parents had better insist
on sending their children to school and picking up them after school. From the
perspective of the school, it is necessary for teachers to lead the children to
the specified destination after school. Security education for students through
courses or video materials should be conducted regularly. The most important
thing is to purify the environment around the campus and strengthen the
management.

【解析】

本文第一段介绍了如今校园安全事件在国内频繁发生，引出本文所要讨论的问题，即分析校园安全隐患存在的愿意，以及提出远离这种隐患的解决办法。在第二段中，本文从行凶者的角度分析，发现了这一类人的一些普遍特征，如心理承受能力差，生活态度悲观以至于采取极端的方式，或者是精神状态有问题。第三段中本文从三个角度提出了解决办法。从行凶者的角度上，作者认为是心理疏导和人文关怀不够所导致的。如家里有精神病人，家人应该多陪伴，并且时刻关注其动向。从根本上杜绝隐患。从家长的角度来说，本文建议家长坚持接送孩子上下学，并且加强对孩子认知能力和自救能力的培养。从学校的角度来讲，学校应该加强净化和管理校园周边环境，同时定期为学生进行安全教育，从而远离校园安全时间的隐患。

【答案与解析】

1 that改为what

句意：用词要谨慎，不错，但更要紧的是对词的涵义尤其慎重。此处为宾语从句，同时what做imply的宾语。

2 and改为or

句意：只有情人才会注意到这些细节：下午的阳光如何照到后颈上，一缕发丝如何从耳后根滑下来，手指如何勾住杯子。从后文可看出，此处应为or。

3 close改为closely

句意：谁看信也不会像看情人那般仔细，苦苦寻觅信中的微小印迹，极力听出其间的细微差别，其中的喘息、感叹和犹豫不决，潜心揣摩那抑扬顿挫中的秘密信息。

4 by去掉

这里searching，straining，poring均为并列形式，不需要加by。

5 on改为in

lie in位于，在于

6 between them后面加both

句意：“简（我深爱她）”与“简，我深爱她”两句之间的差别，以及这两句与“简——我深爱她——”之间的差别。both这里代替上面两个句子。

7 headache改成heartache

句意：表明了醉心与伤心之间的距离。ecstasy意为“陶醉，入迷”，此处能与之相对的应为心灵感受，不应该是headache。

8 putting改为put

句意：句点用得其所，可穿透人心，虽刀枪力莫能及。put此处用过去分词表示被动状态。

9 word改为words

这里表示巴别尔说的话，要用复数。

10 labor前面加a

句意：标点符号其实是一项心甘情愿而为之的工作，它多少使我们重新成为主宰。名词前面要加冠词。
