3.Passage FiveA young girl and a man were recently found murdered in a parked car in a Boston suburb. The police found no clue (线索) in the car. Then they found a witness who had seen a car pass by the murdered couple's car. He said it was a 1950 or 1951 Chevrolet (雪佛莱牌汽车).Ordinarily, searching through the files for owners of elderly Chevies would have been an impossibly difficult task because there were two and a half million such cars. In this case, however, the police had a powerful tool--the computer.The Boston Registry of Motor Vehicles programmed its computer to screen all 1950 and 1951 Chevrolets within a fifteen-mile radius (半径) of the suburb--the area in which the police believed the murderer was most likely to be found. Within minutes, the computer uncovered one thousand of the wanted cars. A few hours of careful hand screening turned up a 1950 Chevrolet owner who lived close to the scene of the crime and who had received many traffic tickets (交通罚款). He was among the first suspects to be investigated, and evidence linking him to the murdered couple was found. He was arrested, and is now waiting for trial (审判).51. The computer DIDN'T help the police ______.A. to find the suspectB. to find the murdered coupleC. to arrest the suspectD. to search a 1950 or 1951 Chevrolet

4.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)In his autobiography, Darwin himself speaks of his intellectual powers with extraordinary modesty. He points out that he always experienced much difficulty in expressing himself clearly and concisely, but (46) he believes that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long and intently about every sentence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own observations. He disclaimed the possession of any great quickness of apprehension or wit, such as distinguished Huxley. (47) He asserted, also, that his power to follow a long and purely abstract train of thought was very limited, for which reason he felt certain that he never could have succeeded with mathematics. His memory, too, he described as extensive, but hazy. So poor in one sense was it that he never could remember for more than a few days a single date or a line of poetry. (48) On the other hand, he did not accept as well founded the charge made by some of his critics that, while he was a good observer, he had no power of reasoning. This, he thought, could not be true, because the “Origin of Species” is one long argument from the beginning to the end, and has convinced many able men. No one, he submits, could have written it without possessing some power of reasoning. He was willing to assert that “I have a fair share of invention, and of common sense or judgment, such as every fairly successful lawyer or doctor must have, but not, I believe, in any higher degree.” (49) He adds humbly that perhaps he was “superior to the common run of men in noticing things which easily escape attention, and in observing them carefully.”Writing in the last year of his life, he expressed the opinion that in two or three respects his mind had changed during the preceding twenty or thirty years. Up to the age of thirty or beyond it poetry of many kinds gave him great pleasure. Formerly, too, pictures had given him considerable, and music very great, delight. In 1881, however, he said: “Now for many years I cannot endure to read a line of poetry. I have also almost lost my taste for pictures or music.” (50) Darwin was convinced that the loss of these tastes was not only a loss of happiness, but might possibly be injurious to the intellect, and more probably to the moral character.(46) he believes that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long and intently about every sentence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own observations

    Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I’m Roy , and this is my show. This is a television show for all families, and I know you’ll enjoy it.

    Let’s start with a story. Once there was a proud pig on a farm . He thought he was the most important of all the animals on the farm. But it was not enough that he himself thought this: he had to be sure that other animals thought it, too. So he went up to a chicken and asked, “ Who is the most important animal on the farm?” The chicken answered, “ You are, Mr. Pig .” Then he asked a dog, and he got the same reply.

    Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertained of the right answer, the pig looked angry, and showed his teeth, “ Oh, you are, of course, Mr. Pig.” said the cow. “ Of course, ” the pig said, “ there is no doubt about it. ”

    At last the pig asked a big horse the same question. The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over and placed his foot on the pig’s head. “ I think you know the answer now. ” said the horse.

  • 第3题：

    I met him on the Internet and we chatted for several months. Every time I suggested we meet in person，he would come up with an excuse. I thought it was strange-but he told me that he had not gotten over the death of his wife and he was still grieving for her.

    I thought that he needed a friend and decided that I could be that friend. We sent cards, exchanged gifts，talked on the phone and I was sure that we would meet someday. I had spoken with his children so I was sure that what he told me was true. I could not wait for the day when we would meet. I was so looking forward to being able to reach out and touch him. To hug him，to hold him and feel his big strong arms around me.

    After almost two years of time，thousands of dollars on long distance phone calls，I was very frustrated at the endless stream of excuses as to why we could never seem to make a time to meet. Finally，contacted the website WhoisHe. com and asked if they could check out the man who had taken up so much of my heart，my energy and my life. I had enough information about him and felt that if I could confirm what he had been telling me-I could feel okay about these delays. I had hopes that I didn't want to dash if he was telling the truth. I believed I could wait a little while longer.

    Well, I am glad that I decided to have him checked out-he was nothing he claimed to be. He was first and foremost a married man. He was not a man grieving for the loss of his wife. He was a man cheating on his wife，with me-and I found out later，with countless others on the“net”. He did not care that he had hurt me in a very deep and pathetic way. He talked of spending his life together with me. He told my son that he wanted to make me happy. Basically，he just lied. He was such a good liar I did not see it coming. It was as if he had been able to worm his way into my heart-and he didn't care about the effect he had on my hopes and dreams.

    Each of us should look at the signs that are so clear if we are willing to see them. Do not let someone keep making excuse after excuse. If something feels wrong-likely it is. It is good to know the truth and be able to deal with it. Next time I will pay more attention. I may never be able to trust someone online again.

    It can be inferred from Para. 4 that______.

    A．the man was a single person in reality

    B．the woman was the man's only girlfriend

    C．the man had too many girlfriends on the net

    The Body Thieves

    In the early nineteenth century in Britain,many improvements were being made in the
    world of medicine.Doctors and surgeons were becoming more knowledgeable about the
    human body.Illnesses that had been fatal a few years before were now curable.However,
    surgeons had one problem.They needed dead bodies to cut up,or dissect（解剖）.This
    was the only way that they could learn about the flesh and bones inside the body,and the
    only way to teach new surgeons to carry out operations.
    The job of finding these dead bodies was carried out by an unpleasant group of people
    called "body snatchers". They went into graveyards（墓地）at night and, using wooden
    shovels to make less noise,dug up any recently buried bodies.Then they took the bodies
    to the medical schools and sold them.A body could be sold for between ￡5 and ￡10,
    which was a lot of money at that time.The doctors who paid the body snatchers had an
    agreement with them一they never asked any questions.They did not desire to know where
    the bodies came from,as long as they kept arriving.
    The most famous of these body snatchers were two men from Edinburgh called William
    Burke and Wil!iam Hare.Burke and Hare were different because they did not」ust dig up
    bodies from graveyards.They got greedy and thought of an easier way to find bodies.
    Instead of digging them up,they killed the poorer guests in Hare's small hotel.Dr Knox,
    the respected surgeon they worked for,never asked why all the bodies they brought him
    had been strangled（勒死）.
    For many years Burke and Hare were not caught because,unsurprisingly,the bodies
    of their victims were never found by the police.They were eventually arrested and put on
    trial in 1829.The judge showed mercy to Hare and he was released but Burke was found
    guilty and his punishment was to be hanged.Appropriately,his body was given to the
    medical school and he ended up on the dissecting table,just like his victims.In one small
    way，justice was done.
    Now,over 1 50 years later,surgeons do not need the help of criminals to learn their
    skills.However,the science of surgery could not have developed without their rather
    gruesome（令人毛骨惊然的）help.

    The bodies of Burke's and Hare's victims couldn't be found by the police because
    A: they had been stolen.
    B:they had been strangled.
    C: they had been dissected.
    D:they had been buried.

    Passage1Since 1989, Dave Thomas, who died at age 69, was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. He appeared in more than 800 commercials for the hamburger chain named for his daughter.As long as it works, he said in 1991,I' ll  continue to do those commercials.Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood.He still won't let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper fitting shoes, Wendy said in 1993. Born to a single mother, he was adopted as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work.He fed me, Thomas said, and if I got out of line, he'd beat me.Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind.I thought, if I owned a restaurant, he said, I could eat for free. A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes $6 billion a year in sales.Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine,66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption in 1992.In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Greek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him most likely to succeed.The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave, says friend Pat Williams.

    Practice 4　　Both language and culture are learned by children without special organized programs of instruction, but motivation to learn is very high since language is the most effective means for a child to obtain what he or she wants. If the learning of a new language begins before lower adolescence, one is likely to be able to speak such a language with complete naturalness, but if learned after upper adolescence some hangover of a mother-tongue feature is very likely to persist. But not only do languages exhibit such learning patterns, but so do cultural traits, for example, shaking hands, kissing, and embracing.　　Although many persons assume that languages exist in dictionaries and grammars, in fact they only exist in people’s heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a they only exist in people’s heads. But this is equally true of cultural traits, which indicate clearly a person’s value system when crucial decisions need to be made before there is any time to think about alternatives, for example, diving into a flooding stream to rescue a drowning child.

    正确答案： 【参考译文】
    儿童学习语言和文化,无须专门编制的教学计划,但他们的学习积极性很高,因为他们获得想要的东西,语言即是最有效的手段。如果一个人十来岁开始学习一门新的语言,日后他就有可能轻松自如地说这门语言。但如果到十六、七岁才学,那么他说话时多半会夹杂一些母语的痕迹。不仅语言学习呈现这种模式,文化特征,如握手、接吻和拥抱,也同样如此。
    尽管许多人认为语言存在于词典和语法中,然而事实上语言仅存在于人们的头脑里。文化特征亦然。在没有时间考虑何取何舍而必须作出关键性决定时,如跳入泛滥的河水去救一个溺水的孩子,文化特征会清楚地表现出一个人的价值体系。
