一、 Vocabulary(总题数：30，分数：60.00)

you keep on trying something, the day will come when you can do it well and with great______.

（分数：2.00）

√

y

解析：解析：本题考查名词辨析。you can do it well意为“你会做好它”，with great______ 与此并列，意义上应该与此接近。with great care意为“小心翼翼地”。with great ease意为“轻而易举地”，符合题意，故答案为[B]项。with great tempo意为“以极大的速度”；with great dignity意为“威风凛凛”。如果填入care，tempo或dignity，与you can do it well的语义不符，故均排除。

______to find new stories about her homeland, making sure her American-born daughter did

not grow up ignorant of Chinese culture.

（分数：2.00）

d out

out of her way √

way

down

解析：解析：本题考查动词短语辨析。drop out意为“离开，退出”。go out of one's way意为“不怕麻烦；特地”。give way意为“撤退；让路；退让；垮掉”。get down意为“沮丧；落下；吞下；写下”。本句意为：为了保证她在美国出生的女儿长大后不会对中国文化很生疏，她______找寻有关祖国的新鲜事。明显，在这里主要强调的是主语为做某事而付出的努力，因此[B]项最为符合题意，为答案。

the past, a woman's world usually______household work and waiting for her children and husband

to come home.

（分数：2.00）

up

ed of

comprised of

ted of √

解析：解析：本题考查动词短语辨析。make up意为“组成，构成”，用部分作主语，表示“部分构成整体”，用于主动语态。如果用整体作主语，必须用被动结构be made up of，这时可以和consist of互换。compose作“构成”讲时是及物动词，而且常用被动语态be composed of。值得注意的是，comprise作“构成”讲时多用于主动语态。consist是不及物动词，必须和介词连用构成consist of(由……组成，由……构成)。句意：在过去，女人的世界通常是由家庭工作和等待她的孩子和丈夫回家构成的。只有[D]项符合语义及语法要求，故为答案。

bute

______to the effects of secondhand smoke than adults.

us

解析：解析：本题考查形容词辨析。题干中的too…to believe(太……以至于不相信)及ridiculous lies(荒谬的谎言)提示，本空应填表示“理智的，明智的”之意的词。sensational意为“轰动的；耸人听闻的；极好的，绝妙的”。sensitive意为“敏感的；易生气的，易担忧的”。be sensitive to为固定搭配，后接名词。sensible意为“(行为或决定)明智的，理智的，合理的”，be sensible to do sth．意为“理智地做某事”，符合题意，故答案为[C]项。sensuous意为“愉悦感官的，给人以美感的”。句意：她很理智，不会相信这些荒谬的谎言。

handle

解析：解析：本题考查if引导的状语从句的省略。if从句的主语与主句的主语一致，都为border issues，且从句主语后跟有动词be，通常可以省略if从句中的“主语+be”。从句的完整形式为：If border issues

are not properly handled，…。故答案为handled。

______seemed an endless wait, it was his turn to enter the personnel manager's office.

（分数：2.00）

√

解析：解析：本题考查宾语从句。介词after后面的宾语从句中缺少主语，故使用连接词what引导宾语从句，并在句中作主语，故答案为[A]项。it和there不能引导宾语从句，故排除[B]项和[D]项；that在宾语从句中不充当任何成分，也排除[C]项。

change of season, every change of weather ______ some change in the wonderful colors

______nothing more for discussion, the meeting came to an end half an hour earlier.

（分数：2.00）

be

have been

√

解析：解析：本题考查独立主格结构。此处为there be句型用于独立主格结构的用法，结构为“There being+名词(代词)”，表示原因，故答案为[D]being。句意：由于没有更多的东西可讨论，会议提前半小时就结束了。

les such as individual and corporate behavior______nearly impossible for economists to

forecast economic trends with precision.

（分数：2.00）

it √

makes

it

解析：解析：本题考查主谓一致及it充当形式宾语的用法。根据句子结构，主语是variables，such as

individual and corporate behavior为后置定语，修饰variables，所以谓语动词用动词原形形式，故首先排除[C]项和[D]项。空后的nearly impossible充当宾语补足语，to forecast economic…充当真正的宾语，谓语动词后面必须由形式宾语补充完整，故答案为[A]make it。

Jane been more careful on the math exam, she______much better results now.

（分数：2.00）

be getting

have got

get

get √

解析：解析：本题考查虚拟语气(错综时间条件句)。从句是对过去事实的虚拟，省略了if，因此为倒装形式；主句是对现在(主句中有now)情况的虚拟，因此主句用would do结构，故答案为[D]项。句意：要是简数学考试再细心些的话，她现在就能得更好的成绩了。

the year 2030, it's estimated that more than two thirds of the world's population will be

living in cities —______today.

（分数：2.00）

as many as √

twice as many

much as twice

much twice as

解析：解析：本题考查倍数表达法。根据选项可知，本题采用的是“倍数+as+many／much+as”结构。在这里，其比较对象是人，为可数名词，用many进行修饰，故答案为[A]项。句意：到2030年，预计世界2／3以上的人口将居住在城市，这是现在的两倍。

daughter has walked eight miles today. We never guessed that she could walk______far.

（分数：2.00）

A./

√

解析：解析：本题考查that的用法。根据两句句意，本空所填词指代前一句中的eight miles today。所填词that相当于so，意为“如此”，修饰副词far，故答案为[C]项。such后要接名词或名词短语，故排除[B]项。as与语义不符，排除[D]项。句意为：我的女儿今天已经走了8英里了。我们从来没有想到她能够走如此远。

______I like Antonia, I hated the superior tone that she sometimes took with me.

（分数：2.00）

gh

√

解析：解析：本题考查倒装。as引导的让步状语从句常将名词、形容词、副词和动词放在句首引起部分倒装，即“名词(不带冠词／形容词／副词)+aus+主语+系动词be”或“副词+as+主语+动词”或“实义动词+as+主语+助动词／情态动词”，意为“虽然……但是”或“尽管……但是”，答案为[D]项。句意：我虽然很喜欢安东妮亚，但也很讨厌有时她对我说话时那种高人一等的腔调。

ver

r

snow leopard is a class-one endangered species, ______is the giant panda.

（分数：2.00）

√

解析：解析：本题考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，逗号后为非限制性定语从句，故首先排除[B]such和[D]that。which引导非限制性定语从句，用来说明前面整个句子的情况或主句的某一部分。as引导非限制性定语从句时，在从句中通常作主语，指代整个主句，表示的意思是“正如，正像”，其引导的定语从句既可以放在主句之前，也可以放在主句之后，故答案为[A]as。

came to visit me again. It was the second time he______me that afternoon.

（分数：2.00）

been interrupting

interrupted

have interrupted

interrupted √

解析：解析：本题考查动词时态。在“It is the first／second…time+从句”的结构中，从句用现在完成时。在“It was the first／second…time+从句”的结构中，从句用过去完成时，故答案为[D]had

interrupted。

and stroking it.

（分数：2.00）

close as to mine

close to mine as

close to mine as √

so close as

解析：解析：本题考查句子结构。根据空后she could为句子，首先排除[A]项。没有much so…as的用法，故排除[D]项。as…as…与so…as…在肯定句中可以互换，但在否定句中，只能用so…as…，故本题最佳选项为[C]项。

（分数：2.00）

√

schools

解析：解析：本题考查固定用法。for school意为“上学”，故答案为school。

ect is to the mind______sight is to the body.

（分数：2.00）

√

解析：解析：本题考查语法结构。what引导的是一个类比性状语从句，说明主句行为的方式、方法，其结构为“A is to B what C is to D”，意思是“A对于B来说，就像C对于D一样”，故答案为[B]what。句意：智力之于大脑，犹如视力之于躯体。

二、 Reading Comprehension(总题数：2，分数：40.00)

[1] To say that the city is a central problem of American life is simply to know that increasingly

the cities are American life; just as urban living is becoming the condition of man across the

world. Everywhere men and women crowd into cities in search of employment, a decent living, the

company of their fellows, and the excitement and stimulation of urban life. [2] Within a very

few years, 80 percent of all Americans will live in cities — the great majority of them in

concentrations like those which stretch from Boston to Washington, and outward from Chicago and

Los Angeles and San Francisco and St. Louis. The cities are the nerve system of economic life

for the entire Nation, and for much of the world. [3] And each of our cities is now the seat of

nearly all the problems of American life: poverty and race hatred, stunted education and saddened

lives, and the other ills of the new urban Nation — congestion and filth, danger and

purposelessness — which afflict all but the very rich and the very lucky. [4] ...The city is

not just housing and stores. It is not just education and employment, parks and theaters, banks

and shops. It is a place where men should be able to live in dignity and security and harmony,

where the great achievements of modern civilization and the ageless pleasures afforded by natural

beauty should be available to all. If this is what we want — and this is what we must want if

men are to be free for that "pursuit of happiness" which was the earliest promise of the American

Nation — we will need more than poverty programs, housing programs, and employment programs,

although we will need all of these. We will need an outpouring of imagination, ingenuity,

discipline, and hard work unmatched since the first adventurers set out to conquer the wilderness.

For the problem is the largest we have ever known. And we confront an urban wilderness more

formidable and resistant and in some ways more frightening than the wilderness faced by the

pilgrims or the pioneers. [5] One great problem is sheer growth — growth which crowds people

into slums, thrusts suburbs out over the countryside, burdens to the breaking point all our old

ways of thought and action — our systems of transport and water supply and education, and our

means of raising money to finance these vital services. [6] A second is destruction of the physical

environment, stripping people of contact with sun and fresh air, clean rivers, grass and trees

— condemning them to a life among stone and concrete, neon lights and an endless flow of

automobiles. This happens not only in the central city, but in the very suburbs where people once

fled to find nature. "There is no police so effective," said Emerson, "as a good hill and a wide

where an dispose of their superfluous strength and spirits." We cannot

restore the pastures, but we must provide a chance to enjoy nature, a chance for recreation, for

pleasure and for some restoration of that essential dimension of human existence which flows only

from man's contact with the natural world around him. [7] A third is the increasing difficulty

of transportation — adding concealed, unpaid hours to the workweek, removing men from the social

and cultural amenities that are the heart of the city; sending destructive swarms of automobiles

across the city, leaving behind them a band of concrete and a poisoned atmosphere. And sometimes

— as in Watts — our surrender to the automobile has so crippled public transport that thousands

literally cannot afford to go to work elsewhere in the city. [8] A fourth destructive force is

the concentrated poverty and racial tension of the urban ghetto — a problem so vast that the

barest recital of its symptoms is profoundly shocking: Segregation is becoming the governing rule;

Washington is only the most prominent example of a city which has become overwhelmingly Negro

as whites move to the suburbs; many other cities are moving along the same road — for example,

Chicago, which, if present trends continue, will be over 50 percent Negro by 1975. The ghettoes

of Harlem and Southside and Watts are cities in themselves, areas of as much as 350, 000 people.

Poverty and unemployment are endemic: from one-third of the families in these areas live in poverty,

in some, male unemployment may be as high as 40 percent; unemployment of Negro youths nationally

is over 25 percent. Welfare and dependency are pervasive: one-fourth of the children in these

ghettoes, as in Harlem, may receive Federal Aid to Dependent Children; in New York City, ADC alone

costs over $ 20 million a month; in our five largest cities, the ADC bill's over $ 500 million

a g is overcrowded, unhealthy, and dilapidated: the last housing census found 43

percent of urban Negro housing to be substandard; in these ghettoes, over 10, 000 children may

be injured or infected by rat bites every year. Education is segregated, unequal, and inadequate:

the high school dropout rate averages nearly 70 percent, there are academic high schools in which

less than 3 percent of the entering students will graduate with an academic diploma. Health is

poor and care inadequate: infant mortality in the ghettoes is more than twice the rate outside,

mental retardation among Negroes caused by inadequate prenatal care is more than seven times the

white rate; one-half of all babies born in Manhattan last year will have had no prenatal care

at all; deaths from diseases like tuberculosis, influenza, and pneumonia are two to three times

as common as elsewhere. [9] Fifth is both cause and consequence of all the rest. It is the

destruction of the sense, and often the fact, of community, of human dialog, the thousand invisible

strands of common experience and purpose, affection and respect which tie men to their fellows.

Community is expressed in such words as neighborhood, civic pride, friendship. It provides the

life-sustaining force of human warmth and security, a sense of one's own human significance in

the accepted association and companionship of others. [10] ...Community demands a place where

people can see and know each other, where children can play and adults work together and join

in the pleasures and responsibilities of the place where they live. The whole history of the human

race, until today, has been the history of community. Yet, this is disappearing, and disappearing

at a time when its sustaining strength is badly needed. For other values which once gave strength

for the daily battle of life are also being eroded. [11] The widening gap between the experience

of the generations in a rapidly changing world has weakened the ties of family; children grow

up in a world of experience and culture their parents never knew. [12] The world beyond the

neighborhood has become more impersonal and abstract. Industry and great cities, conflicts between

nations and the conquests of science move relentlessly forward, seemingly beyond the reach of

individual control or even understanding. [13] ...But of all our problems, the most immediate

and pressing, the one which threatens to paralyze our very capacity to act, to obliterate our

vision of the future, is the plight of the Negro of the center city. For this plight and the riots

which are its product and symptom — threaten to divide Americans for generations to come; to

add to the ever-present difficulties of race and class the bitter legacy of violence and

destruction [14] It is therefore of the utmost importance that these hearings go

beyond the temporary measures thus far adopted to deal with riots — beyond the first hoses and

the billy clubs; and beyond even sprinklers on fire hydrants and new swimming pools as well. These

hearings must start us along the road toward solutions to the underlying conditions which afflict

our cities, so that they may become the places of fulfillment and ease, comfort and joy, the

communities they were meant to be.（分数：20.00）

(1).According to the passage, everywhere men and women crowd into cities in search of______.（分数：2.00）

ment and race hatred

B.a decent living and stunted education

tion and the company of their fellows

excitement and other advantages of urban life √

解析：解析：事实细节题。根据题干中的everywhere men and women crowd into cities将本题出处定位于文章第一段最后一句。该句提到，到处是涌向城市的男男女女，他们追求着工作、体面的生活、朋友的陪伴以及都市生活的兴奋和刺激。[D]是对该句内容的同义转述，故为答案。[A]中的race hatred，[B]中的stunted education和[C]中的congestion都是利用第三段设置的干扰，这些都是美国城市生活的问题，不是人们涌人城市所要追求的，故排除。

(2).It can be learned that within a few years, ______of all Americans will live in concentrations

like those which stretch from Boston to Washington, and outward from Chicago and other cities.（分数：2.00）

than 80 percent √

80 percent

than 80 percent

of the above

解析：解析：事实细节题。根据题干中的within a few years和in concentrations like those which stretch

from Boston to Washington…将本题出处定位于文章第二段第一句。该句提到，几年内，百分之八十的美国人将居住在城市中，他们中的绝大多数将聚集在从波士顿延伸到华盛顿之间的区域，离开芝加哥、洛杉矶、旧金山和圣路易斯等聚集地，“绝大多数人”所占的比例肯定是少于80％的，故答案为[A]项。

(3).Besides poverty, housing and unemployment programs, Americans need______to attain the kind

of society they want.（分数：2.00）

ation

ity

line and hard work

of the above √

解析：解析：事实细节题。根据题干中的poverty，housing and unemployment programs将本题出处定位于文章第四段。该段第四、五句提到，我们需要的不仅是扶贫项目、住房项目和就业项目，还需要源源不断的想象力(imagination)、独创性(ingenuity)、纪律性(discipline)和努力的工作(hard work)。由此可知，答案为[D]项。

(4).According to the author, the city should be______.（分数：2.00）

seat of nearly all the problems of American life

houses, stores, schools, businesses, parks, and theaters

where people can live in dignity and security and harmony √

nerve system of political, economic, cultural life for much of the world

解析：解析：事实细节题。第四段第三句提到，城市应该是一个使人们能活得体面、安全、和睦的地方，[C]项是对该句的同义转述，故为答案。第三段第一句提到，我们的城市现在几乎是所有美国生活问题的温床，由此可排除[A]项。第四段前两句提到，城市不应仅仅提供住房、商店、教育、就业、公园、剧院、银行和商店，由此可排除[B]项。第二段提到波士顿、华盛顿等城市是美国乃至世界上大部分地区经济生活的神经系统，并未提到城市应成为世界上大部分地区政治、经济、文化生活的神经系统，故排除[D]项。

(5).The major city problems discussed in the passage include all of the following EXCEPT______.（分数：2.00）

tension and the destruction of the sense of community

growth and destruction of the physical environment

difficulty of transportation and concentrated poverty

working hours and a poisoned atmosphere √

解析：解析：事实细节题。文章第五至九段分别由One great problem is…A second is…A third is…A

fourth destructive force is…Fifth is…论述了五个城市存在的主要问题：单纯增长问题、对自然环境的破坏、交通拥堵问题、集中贫困和种族关系紧张问题、集体感的消失。由此可知，[A]项、[B]项和[C]项都是文中提到的主要城市问题，故答案为[D]项。第七段提到，日益严重的交通拥堵问题无形中增加了人们无报酬的劳动时间，造成大量尾气排放，[D]项的内容是交通拥堵这一主要城市问题造成的危害，而非主要的城市问题。

(6).The most prominent example of a city which has become overwhelmingly Negro is______.（分数：2.00）

York

Francisco

o

gton √

解析：解析：事实细节题。根据题干中的become overwhelmingly Negro将本题出处定位于文章第八段第二句。该句提到，华盛顿是最突出的一个黑人数量占压倒性优势的城市，由此可知答案为[D]项。

(7).Which of the following statement is NOT true?（分数：2.00）

A.20 percent of the children in ghettos may receive Federal Aid to Dependent Children. √

unemployment in some areas may be as high as 40 percent.

C.43 percent of urban Negro housing is substandard.

ghettos, the high school dropout rate averages nearly 70 percent.

解析：解析：事实细节题。第八段提到，四分之一的贫民区儿童可能接受贫困儿童联邦政府补助，即25％，故[A]项不正确，为答案。其余三个选项在第八段中均有提及。

(8).The reason why the plight of the Negro is the most immediate and pressing problem is that

it threatens______.（分数：2.00）

paralyze the American economy

解析：解析：事实细节题。根据题干中的the most immediate and pressing problem将本题出处定位于文章第十三段。该段提到，在所有问题中，最紧迫的、麻痹我们行动力、抹杀我们对未来的憧憬的，是内城区黑人的困境，这个困境和骚乱可能将美国的后代分裂开来，由此可知答案为[B]项。其余三个选项文中均未提及。

(9).According to the author, the sense of community chiefly means______.（分数：2.00）

ties of family

B.a thousand imaginable strands

which tie men to their fellows √

values which once gave strength for the daily battle of life

解析：解析：事实细节题。根据题干中的the sense of community将本题出处定位于文章第九段。该段提到，集体感是共同的经历和目的、感情和尊重这些将人们和同伴维系起来(tie men to their fellows)的无形的线，[C]项是对此的同义转述，故为答案。[A]项和[B]项在文中未提及；第十段最后一句提到，其他曾经给人们每天打拼生活带来力量的价值观念也在被侵蚀，[D]项是利用这里设置的干扰项，该句形容的是其他价值观念，而非集体感，故排除。

[1] When I first saw Pippa the cheetah, she was sitting pertly on a chair in the tearoom of the

New Stanley Hotel in Nairobi. I had gone to meet her owners, an English couple who were leaving

Kenya and wanted to ensure that their pet would find a good home. Pippa was wearing a harness

and was able to sit at a table, looking as if she might have a soft drink through a straw. She

was a thoroughly spoiled cub. [2] Eighteen months later she had returned to the wild. She was

living in the Northern Frontier District where she had been born. She had learned to hunt for

herself, had mated with a wild cheetah, and was raising a litter of cubs. [3] Pippa's rehabilitation

to the wild required patience, perseverance, love, and the same kind of respect for her as a being

that I would have offered a fellow human. I had previously shared this love and respect with Elsa

the lioness, whom my husband George and I had raised as a cub. But it was not simply a matter

of affection — although there was plenty of that. The rehabilitation process was important as

an experiment in developing a means of trying to guarantee the survival of endangered species.

The cheetah is one of these; the lion may become one soon. [4] I learned many things from Elsa

and Pippa. They proved always to be interesting and affectionate companions. And I enjoyed the

closeness to nature that the rehabilitation process required. But there were raany times when

I was working with Elsa and Pippa, and there have been many times since, when I have wondered

about another endangered species, a species generally as ignorant of the threat to its survival

as these two cats had been. That species is man. [5] Some recent scientific, economic, and political

research suggests that the curves for food demand and food supply will cross in a maximum of 60

years. By then, man's overpopulation, increasing pollution, and the diminishing food supply could

threaten to end human life on our planet. Being aware of this research, I could not help wondering

what steps man could take to ensure his survival. Could he, for instance, learn from animals

something about birth control, inter-creature relationships, or thought communication that would

help him avoid extinction? [6] Generally, the first reaction to such musings is one of astonishment.

The question phrases itself. What can man, the most highly evolved species of animal life, learn

from less developed creatures? Astonishment at this question itself suggests a starting place.

Perhaps man needs to regain his humility — and his sense of perspective. Perhaps he should look

at himself as just another experiment of nature, no more important intrinsically than the thousands

of other species evolved on our planet. Man is, after all, a fairly recent development. He has

lived on earth only 1. 7 million years — not a very long time compared with the 400 million years

of some creatures. [7] Man's achievements during this stay are astounding. Yet they endanger his

own survival. As a result, he may disappear as have other species who became too overspecialized,

or outlived their environment. Perhaps more than any other creature man is notable for his constant

violations of the eternal law of living in harmony with nature. Man kills everything that competes

with him for living space or food. He has irreparably damaged his environment. He has forsaken

nature's basic laws, substituting for them his own man-made laws and values. He has, for example,

invented money — and now he gauges success, power, and achievement almost exclusively in terms

of it. He overestimates his ego and his capacities. He worships status and sacrifices fantastically

for it. [8] A more rational perspective would see that all organic life is of equal importance.

That every species has its role to play. That nothing survives unless it fits into the balance

of nature and lives within its environment. That all life must work together to preserve life

and maintain ecology. [9] But man can also learn more specifically from animals. With his research

capacity he can ask himself : How were animals able to maintain the balance of nature for more

than 400 million years? Once he has unlocked these secrets, he can try to apply them to his own

situation. [10] What are some of these secrets? Birth control is one. Animals have very efficient

means of controlling their reproduction. We who study animals have learned about it only in the

last few years. We don't yet know how it works, but we do know some facts. Most antelopes, for

example, can withhold their young for weeks, even months. They do this in order that births occur

with the arrival of the rains, the availability of grazing, and the mothers' adequate supply of

milk for the young. [11] Elephants seem able to adjust their reproduction in somewhat the same

way. On the Victoria Nile, for instance, one bank is extremely eroded; it provides barely enough

food for the elephants living there. The opposite bank, on the other hand, is quite well covered

with vegetation. Observations indicate that elephants on the grassy bank calve every four years,

while those on the eroded bank do so only every nine. [12] My own observations of Elsa and Pippa

have revealed some most interesting facts. These cats come into season every five to seven weeks.

Once the first litter has been born, they have the capacity to produce a new litter every three

and a half months, and some zoo-confined lionesses actually do produce litters this of-ten. But

in their natural state, females of these species will not let a male near them — let alone mate

with him — while they are engaged in rearing their young to complete independence. Among lions

this period lasts two years; among cheetahs it is about seventeen and a half months. [13] When

Pippa lost two litters to predators a few days after their birth, she instantly looked for a mate

and conceived despite the fact she had hardly recovered from giving birth. Knowing that her

unfortunate cubs did not need her anymore, she lost no time in starting a new litter. This also

happened with a lioness I knew. [14] Judging from this behavior, I can only assume that some kind

of psychological block stops mother lions and cheetahs from wanting to mate while they are

preoccupied with training their young. [15] Another secret of animals' survival is telepathy.

This sense has become atrophied in man, but a definite thought-communication functions in animals.

Elsa the lioness frequently sensed when George and I intended to visit her camp, even though it

lay 180 miles from our home in Isiolo. On most occasions when we made our irregular visits she

was waiting for us. By following her spoor we discovered that she had sometimes walked 50 or 60

miles to meet us. [16] The same thing happened when I took Elsa's two sisters to Nairobi to be

flown to the Rotterdam zoo. Elsa stayed behind with George in Isiolo 180 miles away. He did not

know when I was coming back; no person knew. But Elsa knew. On the morning of my return she sat

down in the entrance drive and would not budge until I arrived in the evening. [17] I have known

this kind of thought-communication with the animals with whom I've lived. When Elsa died, I woke

in the night, knowing what had happened, even though I was several hundred miles away. The same

thing occurred later with one of Pippa's cubs. [18] I don't possess this sensitivity with my own

kind. I feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London

or Nairobi. We don't know much yet about this telepathy — from which gland it comes, or how it

works. But if men could reawaken or cultivate it in themselves, and then cooperate by trusting

each other, rather than fearing and treating one another suspiciously, the world would be a far

better place. [19] Another secret of the animals is embodied in a basic law of nature which men

often ignore. Every animal has around him a security zone. Within that zone he feels safe. Simple

observation shows what happens to creatures whose sense of adequate living space has been

consistently violated, and who have thus become degenerate. You only have to go to a zoo. There

you find animals sitting like prisoners, tucked so close together that it is not surprising they

become frustrated and sometimes so tense that they try to break out. Then they have to be destroyed.

[20] When people see animals in this condition, they get the impression that the animals are either

dangerous and aggressive or, if they have fallen into a state of utter despair, that they are

lethargic or stupid. But animals that I have known in their natural state are never like this.

This illustrates why zoos — even the best zoos — cannot solve the problem of recovering a healthy

survival number of presently endangered species. [21] The security-zone sense, the need for

adequate living space, is not limited to wild animals. Men once possessed it as well. But now

our awareness of it has grown so faint that four or five people can live together in one room,

a situation which repeatedly occurs in overcrowded slums. People living in these conditions often

become aggressive — sometimes even criminal — for the same reason that animals do in zoos. [22]

Man-made values account not only for man's reduced awareness of his own security zone. They have

also impaired a whole range of relationships which nature had placed in proper perspective. One

of these, referred to earlier, is mating. Another is the relationship of mother to young. So many

modern human mothers these days prefer to have jobs and put their children in day-care centers

or kindergartens, rather than look after them. In nature this happens only in perverted cases.

I have watched many animal mothers with their young. They are devoted to them and tend them with

affection — and discipline. But they don't overdo it. Elsa and Pippa loved their cubs, but they

also kept strict behavior. There was no nonsense about it. [23] Man's great challenge at this

moment is to prevent his exodus from this planet. If he wants to survive — which he can do only

if all other forms of life around him survive as well — he simply has to see himself as no more

important than his fellow creatures. Since man has a higher intelligence than most animals, he

is responsible for insuring their survival and thus maintaining life on our planet. [24] I

personally doubt that man can recover his original relationship with all other forms of life unless

he reappraises his man-made values, returns again to the rules of nature, and then accepts and

obeys them.（分数：20.00）

（分数：2.00）

__________________________________________________________________________________________

正确答案：(正确答案： The Role of Translation in Chinese Culture Going Global China is the only

ancient civilization that has survived thousands of years. China's cultural heritage has not only

shaped her past, but will also continue to shape her future. Right now, we are living in a special

age. Our country is going through massive transitions: economy, ideology, social structure, and,

last but not least, culture. Soft power, the ability to attract and influence rather than by means

of coercion or money, is particularly important to China. The soft power of a culture comes from

its ability to spread itself, as well as to appeal to and attract people. A culture will become

powerful when it is widely spread. As language is the carrier of culture, translation is the

inevitable process for a culture to be spread out. Till now, translation has promoted Chinese

culture's going global in different ways. Firstly, the translation of Chinese classical literature,

such as Tang poetry, Song poetry, the Four Books and the Five Classics etc., provides an opportunity

for the whole world to learn about China's ancient culture. The works of our ancient great

philosophers, such as Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu, are also translated to show the world our profound

cultural heritage. Secondly, our recent political and economic papers are timely translated to

keep other countries updated with dynamics inside China, which will help to promote significant

impact of China. Now the "Belt and Road Initiative" project is what we are vigorously advocated;

since it focuses on the international connectivity and cooperation with other countries,

translation will definitely play an important role. Moreover, just like Korea's TV plays exports,

we can also have our films and TV plays translated, and then exported to many other countries.

Though now we haven't done that good, with the emergence of excellent homemade plays, the

enhancement of our soft power and its global impact is promising. In conclusion, during the process

of our cultural exports, translation is the essential part which we should put great emphasis

on. We can no longer be satisfied with plain and simple word-to-word translation. What we really

need to do is presenting the culture behind the words in an appropriate way so that it can be

properly understood by foreigners. In order to achieve this goal, translators must have a sound

understanding of both Chinese culture and the culture of the target language, as well as the

differences between the two. So training professional translators is a must and a priority. With

translation, we will show the world what Chinese culture really is and become truly powerful as

a culture exporting country.)
