I had managed to sell all my papers and was coming home in the snow. It was that strange hour in downtown New York when the workers were pouring homeward in the twilight. I marched among thousands of tired men and women whom the factory whistles had unyoked. They flowed in rivers through the clothing factory districts, then down along the avenues to the East Side. I met my father near Cooper Union. I recognized him, a hunched, frozen figure in an old overcoat standing by a banana cart. He looked so lonely, the tears came to my eyes. Then he saw me, and his face lit with his sad, beautiful smile -Charlie Chaplin's smile. "Arch, it's Mikey," he said. "So you have sold your papers! Come and eat a banana." He offered me one. I refused it. I felt it crucial that my father sell his bananas, not give them away. He thought I was shy, and coaxed and joked with me, and made me eat the banana. It smelled of wet straw and snow. "You haven't sold many bananas today, pop," I said anxiously. He shrugged his shoulders. "What can I do? No one seems to want them." It was true. The work crowds pushed home morosely over the pavements. The rusty sky darkened over New York building, the tall street lamps were lit, innumerable trucks, street cars and elevated trains clattered by. Nobody and nothing in the great city stopped for my father's bananas. "I ought to yell," said my father dolefully. "I ought to make a big noise like other peddlers, but it makes my throat sore. Anyway, I'm ashamed of yelling, it makes me feel like a fool. " I had eaten one of his bananas. My sick conscience told me that I ought to pay for it somehow. I must remain here and help my father. "I'll yell for you, pop," I volunteered. "Arch, no," he said, "go home; you have worked enough today. Just tell momma I'll be late." But I yelled and yelled. My father, standing by, spoke occasional words of praise, and said I was a wonderful yeller. Nobody else paid attention. The workers drifted past us wearily, endlessly; a defeated army wrapped in dreams of home. Elevated trains crashed; the Cooper Union clock burned above us; the sky grew black, the wind poured, the slush burned through our shoes. There were thousands of strange, silent figures pouring over the sidewalks in snow. None of them stopped to buy bananas. I yelled and yelled, nobody listened. My father tried to stop me at last. "Nu," he said smiling to console me, "that was wonderful yelling. Mikey. But it's plain we are unlucky today! Let's go home." I was frantic, and almost in tears. I insisted on keeping up my desperate yells. But at last my father persuaded me to leave with him. 11.

He describes the broad streets, rows of houses, a teeming metropolis. But his cousin looks around bewildered. All she sees is a forest. "Where are the beauties and improvements which you were to show me?" she asks. He's astonished she can't see them. "Where! Everywhere," he replies. For though they are not yet built on earth, he has built them in his mind, and they as concrete to him as if they were already constructed and finished. Cooper was illustrating a distinctly American trait, future-mindedness: the ability to see the present from the vantage point of the future; the freedom to feel unencumbered by the past and more emotionally attached to things to come.

Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE. 一个人的生命究竟有多大意义，这有什么标准可以衡量吗？提出一个绝对的标准当然很困 难；但是，大体上看一个人对待生命的态度是否严肃认真，看他对待劳动、工作等等的态度 如何，也就不难对这个人的存在意义做出适当的估计了。 古来一切有成就的人，都很严肃地对待自己的生命，当他活着一天，总要尽量多劳动、多工 作、多学习，不肯虚度年华，不让时间白白地浪费掉。我国历代的劳动人民及大政治家、大 思想家等等都莫不如此。 部分译文：Accomplished men of all ages treat their lives very seriously. As long as they are living, they always labor, work, and study as hard as possible, unwilling to spend time in vain, let alone waste even a single moment of their lives. SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE 10 Translate the following underlined part of the text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE. It is simple enough to say that since books have classes fiction, biography,poetry—we should separate them and take from each what it is right that each should give us. Yet few people ask from books what books can give us. Most commonly we come to books with blurred and divided minds, asking of fiction that it shall be true, of poetry that it shall be false, of biography that it shall be flattering, of history that it shall enforce our own prejudices. If we could banish all such preconception when we read, that would be an admirable beginning. Do not dictate to your author; try to become him. Be his fellowce.If you hang back, and reserve and criticize at first, you are preventing yourself from getting the fullest possible value from what you read. But if you open your mind as widely as possible, then signs and hints of almost imperceptible finess, from the twist and turn of the first sentences, will bring you into the presence of a human being unlike any other. Steep yourself in this, acquaint yourself with this, and soon you will find that your author is giving you, or attempting to give you, something far more definite. 答案： 既然书籍有不同的门类，如小说、传记、诗歌等，我们就应该把它们区分开来，并从每种中 汲取它应当给我们提供的正确的东西;这话说起来固然容易，然而，很少有人要求从书籍中 得到它们所能提供的东西，通常我们总是三心二意地带着模糊的观念去看书：要求小说情节 真实，要求诗歌内容虚构，要求传记阿谀奉承，要求历史能加深我们自己的偏见。如果我们 读书时能抛弃所有这些成见，那将是一个极可贵的开端。我们对作者不要指手划脚，而应努 力站在作者的立场上，设想自己在与作者共同创作。假如你退缩不前，有所保留并且一开始 就批评指责，你就在妨碍自己从你所读的书中得到最大的益处, 然而，如果你能尽量敞开思 想，那么，书中开头几句迂回曲折的话里所包含的几乎难以觉察的细微的迹象和暗示，就会 把你引到一个与众不同的人物的面前去。如果你深入下去，如果你去认识这个人物，你很快 就会领悟作者正在给你或试图给你某些明确得多的东西。倘若我们首先考虑怎样读小说，那 么，一部小说中的三十二章就是企图创造出象一座建筑物那样既有一定的形式而各部分又受 到控制的东西，不过词句要比砖块难以捉摸，阅读的过程要比看一看更费时、更复杂。理解 小说家创作工作的各项要素的捷径也许并不是阅读，而是写作，而是亲自试一试遣词造句中 的艰难险阻。那么，回想一下给你留下鲜明印象的某些事——比如，你怎样在大街的拐角处 从两个正在交谈着的人身边走过，树在摇曳、灯光在晃动，谈话的语气既喜又悲；这一瞬间Part IV Error Correction (10%) () 似乎包含了一个完整的想象，一个整体的构思。 Directions:This part consists of two passages.

Friends are the confidants who undergo besides 10. _______ you in the toughest moment, yet by no means leave alone. Friends are the craftsmen who can mend your broken-heart, but just accept your smile as a payment. As long as our hearts need concern, our lives need friends. 1. to ? for purpose前面应该用介词for而不是to。 2. mean ? means it后面的谓语动词应该是单数第三人称。 3. socially ? social 此处为词性错误，修饰名词应该用形容词，不能用副词。 4. are ?is 此处为动词单复数错误，主语从句后面的谓语动词应该用单数。 5. A friend ? like ? is 此处为遗漏动词错误。Like在此为介词，意为“像……”, 因此缺一动词“is”。中国 学生在使用like这个词义时，经常会犯类似错误，切记。 6. describable ? undescribable 此处为语义使用错误，根据文章上下文的含义，此处意为：真正的朋友是无法用语言 来描述的。 7. which ? that 此处是关联词误用。这句话的意思是，朋友在日常生活中是必需的，因为人们需要有 人来分享幸福、沮丧和愤怒。根据上下文，此处应用in that，意为：因为。 8. advices ? advice 此处是名词单复数误用。Advice 为不可数名词，没有复数形式。 9. similar ? dissimilar 此处为语义使用错误，根据文章上下文的含义，此处意为：每个人都有着不同的经历， 可以为别人作参考。此处强调的是不同，而不是相同。 10. besides ? beside 此处是介、副词使用错误。Beside意为：在……旁边；besides意为：除了……以外。根据上下文，此处意为：朋友是和你共同经历艰难困苦的知己，绝不会丢下你不管。 Part I Writing (30 minutes) (15 %) () 注意：此部分在上 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Who Should Pay the Bill.
