二、阅读理解(11-30)

Throughout the history of thearts, the nature of creativity has remained constant to artists.No matter what objects theyselect, artists are to bring forth new forces and forms that cause change——to find poetry where no one has ever seen or experienced it before.

Landscape (风景.) is another unchanging elementof art.It can be found from ancient times through the17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impres-sionists.In the 1970s Alfred Leslie, one of the new American realists,continued this practice.Leslie sought out the sameplace where Thomas Cole, a romanticist, had pro-duced paintings of the samescene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole whoinsists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature,Ledge paints what he actually sees.In his paintings,there is no particular change in motion, and he includes ordinary things likethe highway in the background.He also takes advantageof the latest develop-ments of color photography (摄影术)to help both the eye and the memory when he im-proves his painting back in hisworkroom.

Besides, all art begs theage-old question: What is real? Each generation of artists has shown theirunderstanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw re-ality in briefemotional effects, the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes, and theCro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in theancient for-ests.To sum up, understanding reality is anecessary struggle for artists of all periods.

Over thousands of years thefunction of the arts has remained relatively constant.

Past or present, Eastern orWestern, the arts are a basic part of our immediate experi-ence.Many and different are the facesof art, and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.

There are two types of peoplein the world.Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and othercomforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhap-py.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things,persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

People who are to be happy fixtheir attention on the convenience of things: the pleas-ant parts ofconversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerfulthings.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak onlyof the opposite things.Therefore, they are continuallydissatisfied.By their remarks,they sour the pleasureof society, hurt many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy personswould be the more to be pitied.The intention ofcriticizing (批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken upby imitation (模仿).It growsinto a habit, unknown to its possessors.The habit maybe strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effectson their interests and tastes.I hope this littlewarning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

Although in fact it is chieflyan act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings ondeep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the mostcommon politeness and re-spect.This frequently putsthem in bad temper and draws them into arguments.Ifthey aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobodywishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step orspeak a word to favor their hopes.If they bring onthemselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many willjoin to criticize their wrongdoings.These peopleshould change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleas-ing, withoutworrying needlessly about themselves and others.Ifthey do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接触) with them.Otherwise, it can bedisagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixedup in their quarrels.

Professor Smith recently persuaded 35 people, 23 of them women, tokeep a diary of all their absent-minded actions for a fortnight.When he came to analyze theirembarrassing lapses (差错) in a scientific report, he wassurprised to find that nearly all of them fell into a few groupings.Nor did the lapses appear to be entirely random (随机的).

One of the women, for instance, on leaving her house for work onemorning threw her dog her earrings and tried to {ix a dog biscuit on her ear."The explanation for this is thatthe brain is like a computer," explains the professor."People programme themselves to do certain activities regularly.It was the woman's custom every morning to throw her dog twobiscuits and then put on her earrings.But somehow theaction got reversed in the programme." About onein twenty of the incidents the volunteers reported were these "programmeassembly failures".

Altogether the volunteers logged 433 unintentional actions thatthey found themselves doing—an average of twelve each.There appear to be peak periods in the day when we are at ourzaniest (荒谬可笑的).These are twohours some time between eight a.m.and noon,between four and six p.m.with a smaller peak between eight and ten p.m."Among men the peak seems to be when a changeover in brain‘programmes’ occurs, as for instance between going to and from work." Women on average reported slightly more lapse-12.5comparedwith 10.9 for men probably because they were more reliable reporters.

A startling finding of the research is that the absent-mindedactivity is a hazard of do-ing things in which we are skilled.Normally, you would expect thatskill reduces the num-ber of errors we make.But tryingto avoid silly slips by concentrating more could make things a lot worse, evendangerous.

21.In his study Professor Smith asked the subjects __________.

A.to keep track of people who tended to forget things

B.to report their embarrassing lapses at random

C.to analyze their awkward experiences scientifically

D.to keep a record of what they did unintentionally

答案：D

In the 1960s, medical researchers Thomas Holmes and Richard Rahedeveloped a checklist of stressful events.They appreciated the tricky point that any majorchange can bestressful.Negative events like"serious illness of a family member" were high on the list,but sowere some positive life-changing events, like marriage.Whenyou take the Holmes-Rahe test you must remember that the score does not reflecthow you deal with stress—itonly shows how much you have to deal with.And we now know that the way you handle these events dramaticallyaffects your chances of staying healthy.

By the early 1970s, hundreds of similar studies had followedHolmes and Rahe's.Andmillions of Americans who worked and lived under stress wereworried over thereports.Somehow, the research gotboiled down to a memorable message.Women's maga-zinesran headlines like "Stress Causes Illness!" If you want to stayphysically and mental-ly healthy, the articles said, avoid stressful events.

But such simplistic advice is impossible to follow.Even i{ stressful events aredanger-ous, many like the death of a loved one are impossible to avoid.Moreover, any warning toavoid all stressful events is a prescription(处方) for staying away from opportunities aswell astrouble.Since any change can be stressful, a person whowanted to be completelyfree of stress would never marry, have a child, take anew job or move.

The notion that all stress makes you sick also ignores a lot ofwhat we know about people.It assumes we're all vulnerable (脆弱的) and passive in the face ofadversity (逆境).But what abouthuman initiative and creativity? Many come through periods of stress with more physicaland mental vigor than they had before.We also know thata long time without change or challenge can lead to boredom, and physical andmental strain.

四、翻译(51)

51.Several days ago, I was suddenly disturbed by a joyous din from outside the window. Looking out of it, I saw scores of boy and girl students in the middle of tidying up the open ground. The girls were in colourful down jackets or woolen sweaters, and the boys were in green army uniforms or dark-coloured jackets. They worked with hoes or shovels. Some were busy fencing off the land with iron-bar railings. Evidently, they were trying to turn the wide open ground in front of our building into a garden bright with lush green grass and blooming flowers.

答案：前几天，窗外一阵阵的喧哗笑声，惊动了我。往外看时，原来是好几十个男女同学，正在整理这片空地呢!女学生穿的羽绒衣，毛衣，红红绿绿的;男学生有的穿绿军装，有的穿深色的衣服。他们拿着种种工具，锄土的锄土，铲土的铲土，安放矮栏的就在场地边上安插下小铁栏杆。看来我们楼前这一大片土地，将会被这群青年人整治成一座绿草成茵、繁花似锦的公园。

五、写作(52)

1.Some people live to work.

2.Other people work to live.

3.Your opinion.

答案：Why We Work

When we live in the world, weall work for some reasons or other. Different people have different attitudestowards work. Some people live to work. They devote themselves to their work. Theaim for which they work is to realize the value of life, to promote the de-velopmentof society and to make more people live a happy life.They make great contribu-tions to society and at the same time they also findpleasure in their work.

On the other hand, other peoplework to live. They regard work as a way of making a living. The purpose for which they work is to kill time or to make enoughmoney to support themselves and their families. Theyoften regard work as what they have to do. So they can'tobtain pleasure and enjoyment from their work. Such people,once they can afford to support themselves and their families, perhaps quittheir work.

In my opinion, we shouldn't goto extremes. Since we are members of society, we should do what we can to betterthe society so that we can live in a more comfortable and more convenientsurrounding. Good life is an assurance of smooth work. Only when we re-alize this can we live happily and work well.
