Directions: Please translate the following two passages into Chinese and write your Chinese versions on the ANSWER SHEET.

(1)

I start from my home in the quiet little suburb of Forest Hills, Long Island. Here , surrounded by green lawns , trees , and flowers , are neat little houses , happy with the voices and movements of wives and children , havens of peaceful rest for men who toil in the city . I drive across the lacy structure of steel which spans the East River, and I get a new and startling vision of the power and ingenuity of man. Busy boats chug scurry about the river-racy speed boat, stolid, snorting tugs .If I had long days of sight ahead, I should spend many of them watching the delightful activity upon the river.

I look ahead, and before me rise the fantastic towers of New York, a city that seems to have stepped from the pages of a fairy story. What an awe-inspiring sight, these glittering spires. These vast banks of stone and steel-structures such as the gods might build for themselves! This animated picture is a part of the lives of people every day. How many, I wonder, give it so much as a second‘s glance? Very few, I fear. Their eyes blind to this magnificent sight it is so familiar to them.

The rejuvenating ambience of autumn is immeasurably more ancient than the calendar. The Creation itself was achieved in the autumn according to a tradition of Judaism——where the Jewish New Year, Rosh Hashanah, at summer‘s end or the start of all. The suspicion that even God is partial to autumn has overwhelmed others,

including John Donne, who enthused, ―In Heaven, it is always Autumn.‖

No, Autumn is not always heaven on earth. The season does induce a quickening of the blood and a heightening of humankind‘s sensual pleasure. Yet the very jubilant excess that ensue often lead, at last, to the well-known post-Thanksgiving ―holiday blues.‖ In darker ways still, fate and tragedy have made some American Novembers seem crueler than April.

Autumn is honest, it does not pretend to heaven. Yet almost everybody recognize that season‘s character transcends those familiar bracing days, crystal nights, bigger stars, vaulted skies, fluted twilights, harvest moons, frosted pumpkins and that riotous foliage that impels whole traffic jams of leaf freaks up unto New England.

话，也要等好多年。意思就是有的人根本不会开瓶。

8. C 第一段后半部分从Bill Koch 的话中可以得出，每当好酒出产，收藏家们

就会把它们收藏起来。而当酒很一般的时候，一般就被喝掉了，所以剩下来的很稀少。由此可知大难为C。

9. A 第二段第一句说到伪造者的第二个有利因素是即使收藏者打开假酒，他们

也没有足够的经验和敏锐的嗅觉发现自己被骗了。一次一个好的品酒者一定要有足够的经验。

10 D 最后一段讲到Frederic Brochet 的实验，利用一样的酒，装在不同的标签

里面，品酒者所得出的结论是不一样的。 这就说明了我们的观点随期望值的不同而变化。 因此选D。

（3）

11. B 文中前两段写到 Gone with the Wind 的作者 Mitchell 曾住在Atlanta,

因此这个城市和Gone with the Wind 密切相连。

12. A 第三段中间部分Taylor 说人们很难把电影和书分开，在书中只有一败也

V. Translation from English to Chinese. (20 points) (1)

我从位于长岛森林岗静静的小郊区的加出发。这里，芳草绿树鲜花环绕这结晶的住房，、充满了妻子和孩子的欢声笑语，其乐融融，是城里辛劳的人们安宁的避风港。 我驾车通过那横跨东河的带花边的钢铁建筑，对着人类智慧的独创性和天赋又有了新的吃惊和认识。 高速快艇和笨头笨脑喘着气的拖船在河上鸣叫着来来往往，如果我能看见的日子更多些，我要花更多的时间看看这河上快乐的景象。

我展望前头，纽约的高楼大厦在我前头升起，似乎是从童话故事中的篇章中出现的一座城市。多么令人敬畏的景象，这些闪闪发光的尖塔，这些巨大是石头鱼钢铁的建筑群，就像众神为他们自己而建的！这幅生气勃勃的图景是千百万人每天生命的一部分。我不知道有多少人再对它多看一眼？怕是很少。他们的眼睛

对这辉煌的景象熟视无睹，因为对他们来说他熟悉了. （2）

秋天那让人回复青春活力的气氛远比历法还要古老。按照犹太教的传统说法，天地万物的创造就是在秋天完成的。因此，犹太人的新历——拉什﹒哈夏那节定在夏末秋初。连上帝也偏爱秋天，这种看法得到了许多人的赞同，约翰﹒多恩就曾热情是说过:―天堂里总是秋天‖。

不，在人世间秋天并不总是天堂。这个季节的确会加速血液循环，提高人们的感官兴奋程度。随之而来的纵情欢乐常会引起有名的感恩节后―节日忧郁症‖。更有甚者，灾难鱼悲剧似乎是美国额某些十一月比四月更为残酷。 秋天是诚实的，他并不把自己装扮成天堂。然而几乎每个人都明白秋天的特点并不仅限鱼凉爽的白昼、水晶一样的夜晚、更大的星星、无限的苍穹、长笛悠扬的黄昏、丰收的月亮、长了白霜的南瓜以及那遍山漫野的红叶——它催逼这癖嗜它的人们到新英格兰去玩赏，以至形成了交通堵塞。

III. Reading Comprehension

Directions; Read the following passage then answer questions 41 to 60 by selecting the best one from A,B,C and D. Indicate your answers on the Answer Sheet.

It was on the 28th of July, which I believe was a Wednesday that I visited my father for the fist time during his illness and for the last time in his life. The moment that I saw him I knew why I had put off this visit so long. I had told my mother that I did not want to see him because I hated him. But this was not true. It was only that I had hated him and I wanted to hold on to this hatred. I did not want to look on him as a ruin: it was not a ruin I had hated. I imagine that one of the reason people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, that they will be forced to deal with pain.

We traveled out to him, his older sister and myself, to what seemed to be the very end of a very Long Island. It was not hot and dusty and we wrangled, my aunt and I , all the way out, over the fact that I had recently begun to smoke and , as she said , to give myself airs . But I knew that she wrangled with me because she could not bear to fact the fact of her brother‘s dying. Neither could I endure the reality of her despair, her unstated bafflement as to what had happened to her brother‘s life, and her own. So we wrangled and I smoked and from time to time she fell into a heavy reverie. Covertly, I watched her face, which was the face of an old woman: it had fallen in. the eyes were sunken and lightless: soon she would be dying, too.

In my childhood—it had not been so long ago—I had thought her beautiful. She had been quick-witted and quick moving and very generous with all the children and each of her visits had been an event. Ant one time one of my brothers and myself had thought of running away to live with her. Now she could no longer produce out of her handbag some unexpected and yet familiar delight. She made me feel pity and

revulsion and fear. It was awful to realize that she no longer caused me to feel affection. The closer we came to the hospital the more querulous she because and at the same time, naturally, grew more dependent on me. Between pity and guilty and fear I began to feel that there was another me trapped in my trapped in my trapped in my skull like a jack-in-the-box who might escape my control an any moment and fill the air with screaming.

She began to cry the moment we entered the room and she saw him lying there, all shriveled and still, like a little black monkey. The great, gleaming apparatus which fed him and would have compelled him to be still even of he had been able to move brought to mind , not beneficence , but torture: the tubes entering his arm made me think of picture I had seen when a child, of Gulliver , tied down by the pygmies on that island. My aunt wept and , wept, there was a whistling sound in my father‘s throat: nothing was said: he could not speak. I wanted to take his hand, to say something. But I do not know what I could have said, even if he could have heard me. He was not really in that room with us, he had at last really embarked on his journey: and though my aunt told me that he said was going to meet Jesus. I did not hear anything except that whistling in his throat. The doctor came back and we left into that unbearable train again, and home. In the moment came the telegram saving that he was dead. Then the house was suddenly full of relatives, fiends, hysteria, and confusion and I quickly left my mother and the children to the care of those impressive women, who, in Negro communities an least , automatically appear at times of bereavement armed with lotions proverbs and patience and an ability to cook. I went downtown. By the time I return later the same day, my brother had been carried to the hospital and the baby had been born. 41. Ruin

Your summary should the main points of the text and your quotations from the original source should be kept to no more than 40 words. Write your summary on Answer Sheet. Fun is hard to have. Fun is a rare jewel.

Somewhere along the line people got the modern idea than fun was there for the asking, that people deserve fun, that if we didn‘t have a little fun every day we would turn into (sakes alive) puritans.

―Was it fun?‖ became the question that overshadowed all other

questions: good questions like：Was it moral? Was it kind? Was it honest? Was it beneficial? Was it generous? Was it necessary? And (my favorite) was it selfless?

When the pleasure got to the main thing, the fun fetish was sure to follow. Everything was supposed to be fun. If it wasn‘t fun, then by Jove we were going to make it fun, or else.

Think of all the things that got the reputation of being fun. Family outings were supported to be fun. Sex, was supported to be fun. Education was supported to be fun. Church was supported to be fun. Staying fit was supported to be fun.

Just to make sure that everybody knew how much fun we were having, we put happy faces on flunking test papers, dirty bumpers, sticky refrigerator doors, bedroom minors.

If a kid , looking at his very happy parents traipsing through that very happy Disney World , said, ― This ain‘t fun, ma.‖ His ma‘s heart sank. She wondered she had gone wrong. Everybody told her what fun family outings to Disney World would be. Golly gee, what was the matter?

Fun got to be such a big thing that everybody started to look for more and more thrilling ways to supply it. One way was to step up the level of danger or licentiousness of alcohol of drug consumption so that you could be sure that , no matter what, you would manage to have a little fun. Television commercials brought a lot of fun and fun-loving folks into the picture. Everything that people in those commercials did looked like fun: taking Digital snapshots, swilling beer, buying insurance, mopping the floor bowling, taking aspirin. We all wished. I‘m sure that we could have half as much as those rough-and –ready guys around the locker room, flicking each other with towers and pouring champagne. The more commercials people watched, the more they wondered when the fun would start in their own lives. It was pretty depressing.

Big occasions were supported to be fun. Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter were obviously supported to be fun. Your wedding day was supported to be fun. Your honeymoon was supported to be the epitome of fundom. And so we ended up going through every Big Event we ever cerebrated, waiting for the fun to start.

It occurred to me, while I was sitting for the fun to start that not much is and that I should tell you just in case you‘re worried about your fun capacity.

I don‘t mean to put a damper on things. I just mean we ought to treat fun reverently. It is mystery. It cannot be caught like a virus. It cannot be trapped like an animal. The good of mirth is paying us bake for all those of thinking fun was everywhere by refusing to come to ours party. I don‘t want to blaspheme fun anymore. When fun comes in on little dancing feet your probably won‘t be expecting it. In fact, I bet it comes when you‘re doing your duty, your jobs or your work. It may even come on a Tuesday. I remember one day, long ago, on which I had an especially good time. Pam Davis and I walked to the College Village drug store on Saturday morning to buy come candy. We were about 12 years old (fun age). She got her Bit-O-Henry. I got my malted milk balls, chocolate stars, Chunkys, and a small bag of M＆M‘s. We started back to her house. I was going to spend the night. We had the whole day to look forward to. We had plenty of candy. It was a long way to Pam‘s house but every time we got weary Pan would put her hand over her eyes, scan the horizon like a sailor and say, ―Ought reach home by nightfall.‖ At which point the two of us would laugh until we thought we couldn‘t stand it another minute. Then after we got clam, she‘d say it again. You should have been there. It was the kind of day and friendship and occasion that made me deeply regretful that I had to grow up. It was fun.
