Language is such a pervasive cultural phenomenon that it can truly
be called“second nature”.In the immeasurable 41of time since this form
of behavior was acquired by the human race,language has always been the
best 42and most often used medium of cultural expression.The idea of human
society and of man himself as a reasoning 43cannot be separated from the
fact 44men possess language.
45the nature of language in general,volumes have been written and

Passage 1
During the past four decades the fishery scientist of the West have
studies the dynamics of fish populations with the objective of determining
the relation between the amount of fishing and the sustainable catch.They
have developed a substantial body of theory that has been applied successfully
to a large number of animal populations and has led to a major improvement
in the management of some of the major marine fisheries.
The theory has been developed for singlespecies populations with
man as a predator.Much of it is based on the Darwinian concept of a constant
overpopulation of young that is reduced by densitydependent mortality
resulting form intraspecific competition.The unfished population tends
toward a maximum equilibrium size with a relatively high proportion of
large,old individuals.As fishing increased and natural mortality is reduced,death
from fishing eventually takes the place of most natural mortality.If the
amount of fishing is increased too much,the indivduals will tend to be
taken before realizing their potential growth,and total yield will be reduced.The
maximum sustainable yields can be taken at an intermediate population size
that in some populations is about onethird the unfished population size.
G.V.Nikolskii,of Moscow State University,develops his theory from
a different approach.He is nonDarwinian and is(he says)a nonmathematician;rather
he considers himself as ecologist and morphologist.He argues that Darwins's
concept of constant overpopulation has led to the neglect of the problem
of protecting spawns and young fish.He argues also that Darwin's concept
of a variety as an incipient species have led to extensive mathematical
analysis of racial characters.Nikolskii considers the main laws of population
dynamics to be concerned with the succession of generations;their birth,growth,and
death.The details are governed by the relative rates of adaptaton and environmental
change.The mass and age structure of a population are the result of adaptation
to the food supply.The mass and age structure of a population are the result
of adaptation to the food supply.The rate of growth of individuals,the
time of sexual maturity,and the accumulation of reserves vary according
to the food supply.These factors in turn influence the success of reproduction
in ways that tend to bring the size of the population into balance with
its food supply.
51.Nikolskill theorizes that fish population is controlled mainly
by the _____.
A.size of the fish caught within a species
B.racial characteristics of the species
C.amount of food available to the species
D.death rate within a species
52.The author indicates the main difference between the theories
of Darwin and Nikolskii is the _____.
A.effect of food supply on the size of the fish
B.the amount of fish that can be harvested
C.methods used to catch fish
D.cause of population variation in fish
53.The theories based on the concepts of Darwin assume that fish
population is controlled mainly by the _____.
A.size of the fish caught within a species
B.amount of fishing pressure of the species
C.racial characteristics of the species
D.life expectancy within the species
54.The researchers discussed in the passage were mainly concerned
with _____.
A.species of fish faced with extinction
B.the ecology of fishing
C.the effects of pollution on fishing
D.commercial fishing
Passage 2
There are people in Italy who can't stand soccer.Not all Canadians
love hockey.A similar situation exists in America,where there are those
individuals you may be one of them who yawn or even frown when somebody
mentions baseball.Baseball to them means boring hours watching grown men
in funny tight outfits standing around in a field staring away while very
little of anything happens.They tell you it's a game better suited to the
19th century slow,quiet,gentlemanly.These are the same people you may be
one of them who love football because there's the sport that glorifies
“the hit”.
By contrast,baseball seems abstract,cool,silent,still.
On TV the game is fractured into a dozen perspectives,replays,closeups.The
geometry of the game,however,is essential to understanding it.You will
contemplate the game from one point as a painter does his subject;you may,of
course,project yourself into the game.It is in this projection that the
game affords so much space and time for involvement.The TV won't do it
for you.
Take,for example,the third baseman.You sit behind the third base
dugout and you watch him watching home plate.His legs are apart,knees flexed.His
arms hang loose.He does a lot of this.The skeptic still cannot think of
any other sports so still,so passive.But watch what happens every time
the pitcher (投手)throws;the third baseman goes up on his toes,flexes his
arms or bring the glove to a point in front of him,takes a step right or
left,backward or forward,perhaps he glances across the field to check his
first baseman's position.Suppose the pitch is a ball.“Nothing happened,”you
say.“I could have had my eyes closed.”
The skeptic and the innocent must play the game.And this involvement
in the stands is no more intellectual than listening to music is.Watch
the third baseman.Smooth the dirt in front of you with one foot;smooth
the pocket in your glove;watch the eyes of the batter,the speed of the
bat,the sound of horsehide on wood.If football is a symphony (交响乐)of
movement and theatre,baseball is chamber (室内)music,a spacious interlocking
of notes,chores and responses.
55.The passage is mainly concerned with _____.
A.the different tastes of people for sports
B.the different characteristics of sports
C.the attraction of football
D.the attraction of baseball
56.Those who don't like baseball may complain that _____.
A.it is only to the taste of the old
B.it involves fewer players than football
C.it is not exciting enough
D.it is pretentious and looks funny
57.The author admits that _____.
A.baseball is too peaceful for the young
B.baseball may seem boring when watched on TV
C.football is more attracting than baseball
D.baseball is more interesting than football
58.We can safely conclude that the author _____.
A.likes football
B.hates football
C.hates baseball
D.likes baseball
Passage 3
Aleister Growley is probably considered to be the most infamous
Black Magician of the 20th century although,in fact,he was not a Black
Magician and never claimed to be.He practiced his own form of magic which
only partly resembled the rites of devil worshippers,and it was certainly
not performed for the same ends.
Rather than worshipping God,the devil,or anything else,Crowley
devised a “religion”with himself as a saviour showing the people the
way to freedom through their own“true will”.In other words,he said,people
should throw off all constraints and conventions and gain control of themselves
and others through their own will power.
In his famous books,“Magic in Theory and Practice”,Crowley explains
what magic is,namely,a technique of making nature obey man's will by capturing
natural power through speaking the appropriate words and performing the
correct actions.All this must be done while in the right state of mind:a
state that Crowley often produced by the use of drugs.
His experiments with various drugs were to have serious consequences
and by the time he was in his thirties he was taking too much heroin.At
the end of his life he was taking a massive daily does of 11grammes,enough
to kill a roomful of people.It was only his extraordinary physical strength
and conditioning through the years,that stopped it being fatal.Rather ironically,considering
his excessive intake of drugs,Crowley died of natural causes at the age
of 72.
Opinion has always been sharply divided about him,for as well as
being a selfconfessed magician,Crowley also painted,wrote plays,stories
and poetry.Some see him as a clever but misguided man,while others ,especially
after the scandals attached to his life at Cefalu in Cicily,view him as
truly evil.
59.Through the doctrine of “true will”,Crowley encouraged people
to _____.
A.ignore the normal morality
B.find freedom through selfworship
C.control everything by will power
D.invent a new unconventional religion
60.How is magic defined in“Magic in Theory and Practice”?
A.As a means of acquiring a certain state of mind.
B.As a technique of speaking and acting in a certain way.
C.As a form of natural power gained through using drugs.
D.As a way of subduing natural laws by will power.
61.What kind of person was Crowley?
A.Selfseeking and violent.
B.Strongwilled and dissatisfied.
C.Rash and weakwilled.
D.Strongwilled and determined.
62.Why didn't the large amounts of heroin taken by Growley prove
fatal?
A.He took too large a dose for it to be fatal.
B.He did not take enough to kill a man of his size.
C.He had conditioned his body not to die.
D.He had accustomed his body to large dosage.
Passage 4
I have yet to witness one example just one of compliance on the
part of those people who have the power to move those little thermostat
buttons.Don't they know about the fuel shortage?
The subways are too hot.Heat pours out of the vents.People stand
bumper to bumper breathing hotly down each other's necks with their heavy
winter coats on-and sweating.The subways could probably be heated by body
heat alone.Why is it still August down there?
Department stores are too hot.The customers are wearing those same
heavy winter coats.Even if you take your coat off,it's still too hot,and
then you've got to lug your coat around as well as all the holiday packages.
My apartment is too hot.Even with the radiators turned off steam
pours out of every nook and cranny.It's a bit ludicrous that I go running
around turning off lights to save electricity while I'm wearing shorts
and my windows are wide open.
Museums are too hot.Movies are too hot.Buses are too hot.This morning
the Fifth Avenue bus was so hot that everybody was opening the windows.And
it was raining out.Better wet than hot.
And now I sit sweating in my office.The heat is on,and so is the
airconditioning,but even that doesn't help.
I think ordinary people are willing to make sacrifices.All the
ordinary people I know are cutting down on electricity and gas.I am sure
the ordinary people would be willing to conserve sweat,too.
But the ordinary people,unfortunately,don't have power over the
thermostat.
63.In this passage,the author _____.
A.is calling for the saving of energy
B.is talking about the earth's greenhouse effect
C.is complaining about the crowdedness of public places
D.expresses dissatisfaction with urban life
64.The author lists so many places in order to make clear the idea
that _____.
A.some public places are too hot to work in
B.energy used for heating can be saved in some places
C.life in big cities is rather unpleasant
D.public places should be better airconditioned
65.By saying that“?shy;ordinary people would be willing to conserve
sweat,too”(the third sentence in paragraph 7),the author really means
that ordinary people _____.
A.would agree to turn off power where possible
B.prefer winter to summer
C.don't like hot places
D.are willing to give up a comfortable life
66.The tone of the passage is one of _____.
A.complaint
B.despair
C.persuasion
D.criticism
Passage 5
Increasingly,the development of tourism is seen to have an effect
on the environment.Erosion is one problem.The steps and stones of major
popular sites like Shakespeare's birthplace or Stonehenge are literally
being worn away by millions of foreign feet.The remedy in the case of Britain's
best known prehistoric monument has been to use railings to keep visitors
at a distance.Such measures can hardly be adopted in the house of the Bard,however,where
tourists want to enter the actual building.
Overcrowding in cities,towns and villages is another problem.Traffic
jams are an outcome.In narrow roads,tourist vehicles cause congestion.Local
traders and residents cannot get around to do their work.Car parks fill
up,so strangers park their cars where they can;in streets,across gateways,in
laybys,or even in private driveways.This causes obstruction.The sheer
weights of incomers can be a hazard.Thus Venice,a city built for half a
million inhabitants,is swollen by another half million who populate the
city daily in the tourist season eight million visits each year.The mayor
recently decided to limit visitors to 9 a day:the only way to save the
city from inundation.
Pollution is a further consequence.The Lakes are popular for people
who enjoy watersports,such as waterskiing ,power boat racing and swimming,but
boats pump sewage directly into the water.Facilities can be provided to
prevent this happening,but this is costly.There are also problems with
litter.
The threat to wildlife habitats is yet another result.Tourists
around the Lakes destroy vegetation.This is harmful to animals which build
their nests along the shores.Wildlife refuges have been created which have
helped protect these natural sites.On the Greek island of Zakinthos,the
breeding beaches of the rare loggerhead turtle are being threatened by
tourist disturbance.Local conservationists try to monitor and protect the
turtles but they have been attacked by the angry owners of taverns and
hotels who make lucrative profits from bars or renting sunbeds and umbrellas.Government
compensation payments for the loss of business might be the anwser,but
this would be costly.
67.Which of the following statements best summarizes the main idea
of the passage?
A.The development of tourism has brought about environmental problems.
B.Tourism should not develop at the cost of the environmental
destruction.
C.Measures taken to protect the environment prove to be ineffective.
D.Tourism is developing for the sole purpose of making money.
68.As a result of overdevelopment of tourism,Venice _____.
A.is overcrowded with cars
B.is overloaded
C.is worn away
D.is badly polluted
69.Paragraph 3points out that the Lakes _____.
A.have too many boats on them
B.are overcrowded on the beaches
C.are polluted by wastes
D.are no longer attractive
70.On the island of Zakinthos,measures to protect the turtles meet
resistance chiefly for _____.
A.political reasons
B.economic reasons
C.environmental reasons
D.developmental reasons
Part IV English-Chinese Translation
Directions:Read the following passage carefully and then translate
the underlined sentences into Chinese(15points)
The sudden upthrust of warm,moist air into the terrible cold of
the frozen heights is what creates thunder.The sudden stronger rubbing
together or two unlike forces(very warm air against very cold air)develops
a kind of electricity called“static electricity”.Its charges produce
lightning and thunder.(71)Thus the violence of the thunderstorm is an
almost direct result of millions of warm water drops being thrown into
compatable masses of ice crystals-hitting them,rolling over them,melting
them,or being frozen by them into snow or hail.
Exactly how the electric charge is developed by the many and complex
forces of this battle of heat and cold is still a matter of opinion.Some
scientists think the action of wind against the rain is the principal factor.(72)These
scientists believe the wind tears off the outer surface of each falling
drops,like pulling a sweater over a child's head,making a fine nagative
charge while leaving the main part of the raindrop positive.Other scientists
believe that the friction of snow crystals breaking in the wind sets up
the electrical charge.In reality it may well be all these factors-and more-that
combine to do the work.
(73)In any case,huge masses of electricallycharged raindrops
and hailstones become sorted into positive and negative reserves of electrical
energy at different parts of the thundercloud,creating between them fields
of very great extremes.When the resistance between these fields breaks
down,the energy that is suddenly discharged is lightning.
I do not know of any case of lightning directly causing an airplane
accident,Cattle and sheep are more likely to be struck by lightning than
are airplanes or houses.There is a recorded case that occurred on a mountainside
in the western part of the United States in which one bolt of lightning
killed 835sheep.(74)Evidently the hard,dry earth offered more resistance
to the lightning than the route of traveling from the ground,up one leg
of an animal,through its moist body,and down another leg.
A person's chances of being killed by a thunderstorm are not very
great.In the United States an average of one person in 265000dies as a
result of a thunderstorm.Today's houses,ships,airplanes,and electric
power lines are well protected against lightning,and the risk is decreasing.Even
a man whose work exposes him almost daily to lightning can do something
about it.(75)Despite the saying that one never knows if lightning strikes
him,a person can sometimes feel the bolt coming and,if quick enough,take
protective action in time.
