Directions: There are 3 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed

by some questions or unfinished statements. Each of them is given 4 suggested

answers marked A,B,C and D. You should choose the ONE best answer and mark the

corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. (30 points).

(1)

Each nation has its own odd character which distinguishes it from others. But

the peoples of the world have more points in which they are all like each other

than points in which they are different. One type of person that is common in

every Country is the one who always tries to do as little as he possibly can and

to get as much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of

doing more than is strictly necessary and who is ready to accept what is offered

in return is rare everywhere.

Both these types are usually not aware of their character. The man who avoids

effort is always talking about his rights": he appears to think that society

owes him a pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his share

talks of "duties": he feels that the individual is in debt to society, and not

society to the individual. As a result of their views, neither of these men

thinks that he behaves at all strangely.

The man who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses: if he

had neglected to do something, it was because he had a headache, or the weather

was too hot ---or too cold--- or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first,

other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his

stories; but soon they realize what kind of person he is. In the long run he

deceives only himself When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to

make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurl. He blames everyone and

everything except himself He feels that society is failing in its duties towards

him, and that he is being unjustly treated. He soon becomes one of the

unsatisfied members of the society he lives in.

His public-spirited opposite is never too busy to take on an extra piece of

work: that is the strangest thing about the whole business. If you want

something done in a hurry, don't go to the man who has clearly not much to do.

He will probably have a dozen excellent excuses for not being able to help you,

much as he tells you he would like to. Go to the busiest man you know,

particularly if you are sure that he has not a spare minute in the week. If your

work is really important, he will make time for it.　

1. One type of person that is common in every country is the one who ___

a. tries to accept what is offered.

possible

a.regretting of b. proud of c. sensitive about d. unaware of

5.In the end the man who tries to do as little as he can cheats

(2)

Animation means maning things which are lifeless come alive and move.

From earliest times, people have always been fascinated by movement. But not

until this century have we managed to capture movement, to record it, and in the

case of animation, to reinterpret it and re-create it To do all this, we use a

movie camera and a projector.

In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the

characters you create do exactly what you want them.

A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in

America in the ~early nineteen twenties. Felix was a marvellous cat. He could do

all sorts of things no natural cat. He could do like taking off his tail, using

it as a handle and then putting it back.

Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the

moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life

after 1928. Popeys the Sailorman and his girl friend Olive Oyl were born at Max

Heischer studios in 1933.

But to be an animator, you don't have to be a professional. It is possible for

anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you

have to do is to draw directly on to blank film and then run the film through a

projector.

The word conservation has a thrifly meaning. To conserve is to save and protect,

to leave what we ourselves enjoy in such good condition that others may also

share the enjoyment. Our forefathers had no idea that human population would

increase faster than the supplies of raw materials; most of them, even until

very recently, had the foolish idea that the treasures were " limitless" and

"inexhaustible". Most of the citizens of earlier generations knew little or

nothing about the complicated and delicate system that runs all through nature,

and which means that, as in living body, an unhealthy condition of one part will

sooner or later be harm:uil to all the others.

Fifty years ago nature study was no part of the school work; scientific forestry

was a new idea; timber was still cheap because it could be brought in any

quantity from distant woodlands; soil destruction and river floods were not

national problems; nobody had yet studies long-term climatic cycles in relation

to proper land use; even the word "conservation" had nothing of the meaning that

it has for us today.

For the sake of ourselves and those who will come after us, we mush now set

about repaning the mistakes of our forefathers. Conservation should, therefore,

be made a part of everyone's daily life. To know about the water table in the

ground is just as important to us as a knowledge of the basic arithmetic

formulas. We need to know why all watersheds need the protection of plant life

and why the running current of streams and rivers must be made to yield their

flill benefit to the soil before they finally escape to the sea. We need to be

taught the duty of planting trees as well as of cutting them. We need to know

the importance of b~ mature trees, because living space for most of Inan's

fellow creatures on this planet is. figured not only in square measure of

surface but also in cubic volurne above the earth. In brief, it should be our

goal to restore as much of the original beauty of nature as we can.

11. The authors' attitude towards the current situation in the exploitation of

natural resources is

a. positiv~ b. suspicious c. neutral d. critical

12. According to the author, the great mistake of our forefathers was that __

a. they had no idea bout scientific forestry.

b. they had little or no sense of environmental protection

c. they were not aware of the significance of nature study.

d. they had no idea of how to make good use of raw materials.

13. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that earlier generations didn't

realize

a. the interdependence of water, soil and living things.

b. the importance of the proper use of land.

c. the harmfiilness of soil destruction and river floods.

d. the value of the beauty of nature.

14. To avoid the mistakes of our forefathers, the author suggests that __

a. we plant more trees.

b. natural sciences be tau~ht to everybody

C. environmental education be directed toward everyone

d. we return to nature.

15. What does the author imply by saying "living space... is figured... also in

cubic volume above the earth" (para.3. line 8-10)

a. Our living space on the earth is getting smaller and smaller.

b. Our living space should be measured in cubic volume.

C. We need to take some measures to protect space.

d. We must preserve good living conditions for both birds and aninials.

PART IV. TRANSLATION

Directions: Translate the following two passages into Chinese.

(1)

Einstein is often portrayed in bourgeois writings as a 'genius' whose theories

are so complicated that no one but a few best scientists can understand them.

But he himself rejected the efforts to put him in a position far above other

people. Re was well known for his humble manner and often stressed to

interviewers that his accomplishments would certinly have been achieved by

others had he never lived

You, the students at Pudan University, and the scholars at all the universities

in China and America, have a great role to play in both our county's flitures.

From your ranas will come the understanding and skill the world will require in

decades to come. Today's leaders can pave the way of the fliture. That is our

responsibility. But it is always the younger generation who will make the

fliture. It is you who will decide ifa continuing personal friendship can span

the generations and the differences that divide us. In such friendship lies the

hope of the world.

My young friends, history is a river that may take us as it will. But we have

the power to navigate, to choose direction and make our passage together. The

wind is up , the current is swift, opportunity for a long and ttuitfiil journey

awaits us. We have made our choice. Our new journey will continue. And may it

always continue in peace and in friendship~
