By degrees the shutters were opened; the window-blinds were drawn up, and people began passing to and 1 . Some few stopped to gaze at Oliver for a moment or two, or turned round to st 2 at him as they hurried by; but none relieved him, or troubled themselves to inquire how he came there. He had no heart to beg. And there he sat. He had been crouching on the step for some time, 3 (wonder) at the great number of public-houses (every other house in Barnet was a tavern, large or small) ; gazing listlessly 4 the coaches as they passed through, and thinking how strange it seemed that they could do, with e 5 , in a few hours, what it had taken him a whole week of courage and 6 (determine) beyond his years to accomplish; when he was roused by observing that a boy, who had passed him carelessly some minutes before, had returned, and was now surveying him most 7 (earnest) from the o 8 side of the way. He took little heed of this at first; but the boy remained in the same attitude of close observation so long, that Oliver 9 (raise) his head, and returned his steady look. Upon this, the boy crossed over, and, w 10 close up to Oliver, said, \"Hello! My covey, what\"s the row?\" 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension

Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. Respond to the questions using information from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the answer sheet.

Section A

For many years after he formed his Theory of Relativity, Albert Einstein visited many universities in different cities where he gave talks about it. He had his own chauffeur who drove him to where

he was to give the talk. The chauffeur sat at the back of the room while he was giving his lecture, and then drove him home.

One day, the chauffeur said to Einstein, \"Professor, I have heard you give your talk so many times that I know every word of it.\" \"Do you?\" Einstein said with a smile. \"Let\"s find out, shall we? You give my next talk for me. Nobody knows what I look like where we\"re going. I\"m just a name to them.\" Just before they reached the university where Einstein was to give his talk, he changed places with his chauffeur.

The chauffeur\"s memory was excellent and he was able to give Einstein\"s talk exactly as Einstein gave it. He did not understand a word he was saying, but this did not seem to matter. Then, as he was leaving the university, one of the teachers who had been at the talk came up to him.

\"Professor Einstein,\" he said. \"That was a most interesting talk. I\"d be grateful if you would answer a question.\" The chauffeur hurried on. \"I\"m sorry,\" he said, \"but I\"m late for my next meeting.\"

\"I\"ll walk with you,\" the teacher said. \"I want to talk to you about the problem.\" The teacher walked along beside the chauffeur and asked him to solve a very difficult mathematical problem. The poor chauffeur couldn\"t understand the problem, let alone attempt an answer. He did not know what to say. Then he had an idea. \"It\"s so simple,\" he said. \"Even my chauffeur could answer it.\"

He pointed to his car, where Einstein was standing, still wearing the chauffeur\"s cap.

\"This man has a maths question,\" he said to Einstein. \"It\"s so easy I\"m sure even you can answer it.\"

Summary:

Albert Einstein was a famous scientist who worked out the Theory of Relativity. He used to travel around the country with his chauffeur giving 1 on mathematics. His chauffeur knew his talk very well so Einstein asked him to give the talk at the next 2 where they did not know him. The chauffeur did well, but afterwards a teacher came up to him and asked him a difficult 3 . The chauffeur did not know the answer but he said, \"This problem is so simple I\"m sure my chauffeur knows 4 it.\" Then he pointed to Einstein still standing 5 beside the car. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Section B

Resources can be said to be scarce in both an absolute and relative sense: the surface of the Earth is finite, imposing absolute scarcity; but the scarcity that concerns economists is the relative scarcity of resources for different uses. Materials used for one purpose can not at the same time be used for other purposes; if the quantity of an input is limited, the increased use of it in one manufacturing process must cause it to become less available for other uses.

The cost of a product in terms of money may not measure its true cost to society. The true cost of, say, the construction of a supersonic jet is the value of the schools and refrigerators that will never

be built as a result. Every act of production uses up some of society\"s available resources; it means the foregoing of an opportunity to produce something else. In deciding how to use resources most effectively to satisfy the wants of **munity, this opportunity cost must ultimately be taken into account.

In a market economy the price of a good and the quantity supplied depend on the cost of making it, and that cost, ultimately, is the cost of not making other goods. The market mechanism enforces this relationship. The cost of, say, a pair of shoes is the price of the leather, the labor, the fuel, and other elements used in producing them. However, the price of these inputs, in turn, depends on what they can produce elsewhere—if the leather can be used to produce handbags that are valued highly by consumers, the prices of leather would be correspondingly higher.

1. Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) according to the passage. This passage mainly discusses the finiteness and value of materials. A. 正确 B. 错误

2. The cost of a product in terms of money measures its true cost to society. A. 正确 B. 错误

3. The relationship between production and resources is that production reduces the amount of available resources.

A. 正确 B. 错误

4. Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage. What determines the price of goods in a market economy?

5. Using land for a house and for a park, which one best reflects a cost to society as defined in the passage?

Section C

If art seeks to divorce itself from meaningful and associative images, if it holds material alone as its objective, then I think that the material itself ought to have the greatest possible plasticity, the greatest potentialities for the development of shapes and the creating of relationships. For that reason I think that the sculpture which has been created with a view to being form alone has been a great deal more successful and interesting than has been the painting in that vein. The sculptor sets out with two pre-existing advantages: one, that he must have craftsmanship, and the other, that he works in the round. He does not have to stimulate depth nor create illusions of depth because he works in volume—in three-dimensional form.

Thus Noguchi, working in marble, is able to develop relationships in three-dimensions rather than two and yet retain both simplicity and unity. He has at his disposal the advantages of light and space, and the natural translucence and glow of marble, all of which he exploits and reveals with great elegance.

Henry Moore is one of the great contemporary imaginers who has brought new materials and new concepts into sculptural form. He discovers the naturally heroic character of bronze and exploits feelingly the graining and fine surfaces of wood. Undoubtedly his most remarkable feat has been the surrounding of open space and his use of such space as a sculptural material. But beauty and craft and idea are still paramount with Moore and he never obliterates these qualities in the shock of the new.

1. Complete the following sentences with information given in the passage in a maximum of 3 words for each blank.

The author says that a painter is hindered because he must create an illusion of ______. 2. Noguchi\"s works are notable because they show ______.

3. According to the passage, marble is good for sculpture because the natural ______ of marble. 4. Choose the best answer according to the passage.

In the author\"s opinion, Henry Moore\"s greatest sculpturing feat has been ______. A. to create three-dimensional paintings B. to have a feeling for the materials he uses C. to incorporate empty space into his work D. to use marble to all its advantages

5. The author says that he prefers an art work of sculpture to one of painting on condition that ______.

A. form alone is more important B. there are three dimensions C. the artist is a craftsman D. the sculptor is famous

Section D

From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good hook may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.

With a good book in our hands we will never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become **panions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with **pany. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.

(74)One of the most valuable gifts bestowed (给予) by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books.Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off places, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way, no aircraft or ship or train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart\"s desire. Through books we may experience the thrill of hazardous adventures without danger.

We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands

of the desert, all without hardship. In books we can visit the studious of Hollywood, mingle with the gay throngs along Parisian boulevards (林荫大道), join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. (75)The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read. 1. Answer the following questions briefly according to the passage. What do we learn from the first paragraph?

2. Why do people sometimes forget their surroundings and even their identity while reading?

3. How would you account for the fact that people like their acquaintances in books even more than real friends?

4. Translate the underlined sentences in the passage into Chinese. 5.

Part Ⅴ Translation

Democracy is not a new conception. The ancient Athenians 1 had a democratic system. Their democracy was the same as

American democracy in many ways. Furthermore, there are 2 several important differences between their democracy and ours. The ancient Athenian citizens voted for

their representatives, and they also voted for certain issues. 3

Moreover, any qualified citizen could become public official. The 4 ancient Athenian democratic government also protected the

citizens\" right private property, encouraging private business and 5 supported public education.

A similar system of representative government exists in the

United States. United States citizens vote for their

representatives, and they can impeach representatives, too. 6 American citizens also vote on certain important matters. In the United States, like in ancient Athens, any qualified citizen can 7 become a public official. The government of this country also protects private property, encourages private business enterprise. and supports public education.

The major difference between these two forms of

democracy is the definition of citizen. In ancient Athens a

citizen was a free man, not a woman and a slave. Women and 8 slaves were largest part of the population; thus, the Athenian 9 democracy was not broadly representative. In the United States, however, all American men and women, of all races and religions, are citizens. Slavery is legal in this country. 10 Therefore, American democracy is more broadly representative. In brief, democracy is an old and varied concept. In the Past it meant different things to many different people. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
