2013年天津外国语大学801英语语言文学(计算机辅助语言学习方向)考研真题【圣才出品】

2013年天津外国语大学801英语语言文学(计算机辅助语言学习方向)考研真题科目名称:英语语言文学I. Chinese-English Summary Translation (40 points)Directions: Write a summary of the following essay in about 200 English words.作为文化事件的“于丹被轰”肖鹰作为一个被媒体和市场联手打造的文化符号,“国学超女于丹”这两年来多少有些沉寂。
然而,11月17日在北大百年大讲堂举办的一场昆曲商演上发生的于丹被观众轰下台一事,又将于丹推到了公众视线的焦点上。
关于此事,已有现场视频流传于网络,情形是简单明白的:当昆曲节目表演结束,进入谢幕时,以10位昆曲界著名艺术家伫立作背景,主持人请于丹上台讲话,身着超短裙、黑色长丝袜和超高跟鞋的于丹在观众喝倒彩声中走上舞台。
当于丹在接受台上一位老艺术家献花之后开始讲话说“我先代表大家……”时,有观众喊出“于丹下去”,并且得到其他多位观众的呼应,于丹只得放弃讲话,退到后台并悄然下台。
我以为,这是一个文化利好事件,至少可概括出三点。
首先是对于丹教授的利好。
于丹现为北京师范大学艺术与传媒学院副院长、教授,虽然出身于文学硕士,但长期从事的是媒体策划及相关教学,2007年在央视百家讲坛讲《论语》成名后,就在国内文化市场以“国学专家(大师)”的招牌行市。
于丹之所以能暴得大名,一方面来自于她以媒体中人的敏感捕捉到了当时受众的普遍心理需要,并以简洁明快的演讲方式予以灌输,另一方面是,她由中国受众最广的媒体央视捧出。
以“国学”行市,于丹无论从知识层面,还是从精神层面,都有难以弥补的局限。
她声称自己四岁读《论语》,但对《论语》的解说错误百出,而讲《庄子》更是臆断妄议,基本文理不通。
讲点实在话,于丹讲国学,犹如没有根底的票友在“曲苑杂坛”里充大师。
成名后的于丹,并没有自我反省,或扬长避短,而是在与媒体与市场的合谋中随行就市,高调扮演文化市场的“国学符号”。

Below each of the following four passages you will find questions or incomplete statements about the passage. Each statement or question is followed by lettered words or expressions. Select the word or expression that most **pletes or answers each question in accordance with the meaning of the passage. Write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET**mon gifts, necessity makes pertinence and beauty every day, and one is glad when an imperative leaves him no option: since if the man at the door has no shoes, you have not to consider whether you could procure him a paint-box. And it is always pleasing to see a man eat bread, or drink water, in the house or out of doors, so it is always a great satisfaction to supply these first wants. Necessity does everything well. In our condition or universal dependence it seem heroic to let the petitioner be the judge of his necessity, and to give all that is asked, though at great inconvenience. If it be a fantastic desire, it is better to leave to others the office of punishing him. I can think of many parts I should prefer playing to that of the Furies(复仇三女神). Next to things of necessity, the rule for a gift, which one of my friends prescribed, is that we might convey to some person that which properly belonged to his character, and was easily associated with him in thought. But our tokens of compliment and love are for the most part barbarous. Rings and other jewels are not gifts, but apologies for gifts. The only gift is a portion of yourself. You must bleed for me. Therefore the poet brings him poem; the shepherd, his lamb; the farmer, corn; the miner, a gem; the sailor, coral and shells; the girl, a handkerchief of her own sewing. This is right and pleasing, for it restores society in so far to the primary basis, when a man"s biography is conveyed in his gift, and every man"s wealth is an index of his merit. But it is a cold lifeless business when you go to the shops to buy me something which does not represent your life and talent, but a goldsmith"s. This is fit for kings, and rich men who represent kings, and a false state of property, to make presents of gold and silver stuffs, as a kind of symbolical sin-offering, or payment of blackmail.1. According to the author, what is the best gift to the man at the door who has no shoes?A. a paint-boxB. flowersC. foodstuffD. shoes2. Among the following behaviors, which may be not treated as being heroic when we are faced with the petitioner?A. To fulfill his primary needs when you are not available for those requirementsB. To grant him whatever is requestedC. Always being pleasing to supply his first wantsD. To let him have a fantastic desire3. Does the author agree to play the role of the Furies when someone has an unattainable desire?A. Yes, he doesB. NoC. He has no idea about thatD. It depends on the situation the author is involved in4. The italicized word "apologies" refer to ______.A. an expression of regretB. defenseC. a poor exampleD. equivalent5. According to the rule for a gift, what should a painter bring as a gift?A. his painting brushB. his paint-boxC. his pictureD. his paint bucketBeing told I would be expected to talk here, I inquired what sort of a talk I ought to make. They said it should be something suitable to youth something didactic, instructive, or something in the nature of good advice. Very well, I have a few things in my mind which I have often longed to say for the instruction of the young; for it is in one"s tender early years that such things will best take root and be most enduring and most valuable. First, then, I will say to you, my young friends and I say it beseechingly—Always obey your parents, when they are present. This is the best policy in the long run, because if you don"t they will make you. Most parents think they know better than you do, and you can generally make more by humoring that superstition than you can by acting on your own better judgment.Be respectful to your superiors, if you have any, also to strangers, and sometimes to others. If a person offends you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick. That will be sufficient. If you shall find that he had not intended any offense, come out frankly and confess yourself in the wrong when you struck him; acknowledge it like a man and say you didn"t mean to. Yes, always avoid violence; in this age of charity and kindliness, the time has gone by for such things. Leave dynamite tothe low and unrefined.6. According to the passage, why do people have to listen to some instructive advice when they were young?A. Because these advice are given by the elderly who have plenty of experienceB. Because these didactic advice are suitable to youthC. Because they should always obey the elderlyD. Because the youth would retain the impressive words and never treat them with obliviousness7. What is the author"s suggestion concerning the parents" words?A. Their words are merely superstitionB. Their words may help you accomplish more in your lifeC. Their words could prevent you from making your own judgmentD. Their words may offend you8. The italicized word "humoring" means ______.A. putting into a good moodB. making concessions toC. entertainingD. having the power to evoke laughter9. Among the following kinds of response, which is not the proper behaviour when you are offended by others?A. To grasp a proper chance and make a counterattackB. To decide whether the offender"s behavior is performed with purpose or notC. Always being reluctant to strike backD. To resort to a furious return for the offense10. The italicized term "the low and unrefined" means ______.A. the lower classB. the barbarianC. people lacking cultivationD. the poorMost gulls don"t bother to learn more than the simplest facts of flights how to get from shore to food and back again. For most gulls, it is not flying that matter, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight: More than anything else, Jonathan Livingston Seagull loved to fly. This kind of thinking, he found, is not the way to make oneself popular with other birds. Even his parents were dismayed as Jonathan spent whole days alone, making hundreds of low-level glides, experimenting."Why, Jon, why?" his mother asked. "Why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock, Jon? Why can"t you leave low flying to the pelicans (鹈鹕), the albatross (信天翁)? Why don"t you eat? Son, you"re bone and feathers!""I don"t mind being bone and feathers, mom. I just want to know what I can do in the air and what I can"t, that"s all. I just want to know.""See here, Jonathan," said his father, not unkindly. "Winter isn"t far away. Boats will be few, and surface fish will be swimming deep. If you must study, —then study food, and how to get it. This flying business is all very well, but you can"t eat a glide. You know. Don"t you forget that the reasons you fly is to eat. "Jonathan nodded obediently. For the next few days he tried to behave like the other gulls: he really tried, screeching and fighting with the flock around the piers(码头) and fishing boats, diving on scraps of fish and bread. But he couldn"t make it work.It"s all so pointless, he thought, deliberately, dropping a hard-won anchovy (鳀类鱼) to a hungry old gull chasing him. "I could be spending all this time learning to fly. There"s so much to learn!" ..."Why aren"t there more of us here? Why, where I came from there were...""...thousands and thousands of gulls. I know." Sullivan shook his head. "The only answer I can see, Jonathan, is that you are pretty well a one-in-a-million bird. Most of us came along ever so slowly. We went from one world into another that was almost exactly like it, forgetting right away where we **e from not caring where we were headed, living for the moment. Do you have any idea how many lives we must have gone through before we even got the first idea that there is more to life than eating, or fighting, or power in the flock? A thousand lives, Jon, ten thousand! And then another hundred lives until we began to learn that there is such a thing as perfection, and another hundred again to get the idea that our purpose for living is to find that perfection and show it forth"11. Which of the following choices is not the difference between most seagulls and Jonathan Livingston Seagull?A. Most seagulls just learned how to get food through flightB. Jonathan Livingston Seagull enjoyed flying businessC. For most seagulls, the final destination of flying was not to be starvedD. To fly and to eat were **mon goals of most seagulls12. What was other seagulls" attitude toward Jonathan"s devotion into flight?A. They wanted to learn from Jonathan Livingston Seagull in practicing flight skillsB. His parents encouraged Jonathan Livingston Seagull to improve his techniquesC. They felt shameful when they saw the low flying by Jonathan Livingston SeagullD. They could not understand why Jonathan Livingston Seagull spent energy and time experimenting slides13. Which of the following choices is NOT Jonathan"s father"s advice when he saw Jonathan gliding?A. He reminded Jonathan of the reason why seagulls flyB. He sternly forced Jonathan to learn to get foodC. He told Jonathan that gliding is invalid to get food for seagullsD. He didn"t deny the advantages of flying business14. Did Sullivan agree with Jonathan"s practice?A. Yes, he didB. No, he didn"tC. He had no idea about thatD. He was uncertain about that15. According to Sullivan, what was one"s life goal?A. To learn about the existence of perfectionB. To struggle to obtain perfectionC. To pursue perfection and manifest it in yourselfD. To go through difficulties and know more about lifePsychologically there are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue absorption in the past. It does not do to live in memories, in regrets for the good old days, or in sadness about friends who are dead. One"s thoughts must be directed to the future, and to things about which there is something to be done. This is not always easy; one"s own past is a gradually increasing weight. It is easy to think to oneself that one"s emotions used to be more vivid than they are and one"s mind more keen. If this is true it should be forgotten, and if it is forgotten it will probably not be true.The other thing to be avoided is clinging to youth in the hope of sucking vigor from its vitality. When your children are grown up they want to live their own lives, and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young, you are likely to become a burden to them, unless they are unusually callous. I do not mean that one should be without interest in them, but one"s interest should be contemplative and, if possible, philanthropic, but not unduly emotional. Animals become indifferent to their young as soon as their young can look after themselves, but human beings, owing to the length of infancy, find this difficult.I think that a successful old age is easiest for those who have strong impersonal interest involvingappropriate activities. It is in this sphere that long experience is really fruitful, and it is in this sphere that the wisdom born of experience can be exercised without being oppressive. It is no use telling grownup children not to make mistakes, both because they will not believe you, and because mistakes are an essential part of education. And you must realize that you must not expect that they will enjoy **pany.Some old people are oppressed by the fear of death. But I think for an old man who has known human joys and sorrows, and has achieved whatever work it was in him to do, the fear of death is somewhat abject and ignoble. The best way to **e it—so at least it seems to me—is to make your interest gradually more impersonal, until bit by bit the wails of the ego recede, and your life becomes increasingly merged in the universal life. An individual human existence should be like river—small at first, gradually grows, wider, and in the end, without any visible break, they become merged in the sea, and painlessly lose their individual being. The man who in old age can see his life in this way, will not suffer from the fear of death, since the things he cares for will continue. And if, with the decay of vitality, weariness increases, the thought of rest will not be **e.I should wish to die while still at work, knowing that others will carry on what I can no longer do and content in the thought that what was possible has been done.16. Which of the following choices is not the danger to be avoided in old age?A. Being mired in memoriesB. Showing lamentation about the pastC. Having no interests in personal benefitsD. Being dependent upon the next generation17. According to the passage, why do human beings always show their undue care for their children?A. Human beings are creatures of emotionB. Human beings don"t treat their children as a burdenC. Human beings" early stage of growth is a little longerD. Human beings are not callous animals18. According to the passage, what role does experience play in one"s life?A. Experience may prevent children from making mistakes or going astrayB. Experience may keep you in appropriate activities and ensure **fortable in remaining yearsC. Experience may produce profound knowledge and ensure a successful old ageD. Experience may find itself wasted on dead man19. In what manner will the youth consider the elderly?A. They will always find **panionship of the elderly ungratefulB. They look up to the elderly and admire the elderlyC. **panionship of persons of their own age is an onerous burdenD. They always ask for material services from their parents20. Which of the following choices is not the proper way that the man in old age should treat his life?A. To **e the fear of deathB. He isn"t satisfied with what he has done on his deathbedC. His life is only a trivial part of the universal lifeD. He wants to have a rest as he grows olderⅣ. Directions: The following excerpt is taken from China Daily. The primary purpose of this passage is intended to provide a source of inspiration for writing rather than tempt you into copying the same thing in **position.1. To vigorously promote fairness in education. Hu Jintao, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, said in his report to the 18th National Congress that educational resources will focus on rural and remote areas poor families and non-Ham ethnic groups.Hu said that efforts will also be made to promote equal education for the children of migrant workers and to increase financial aid to poverty-stricken families for their children"s education. The central government has been making efforts in this direction over the past decade. But what has been done is far from enough to bridge the gap between the quality of education in urban and rural areas. That is why Hu"s report particularly mentioned the shift in focus to the underdeveloped and disadvantaged areas.Despite the free nine-**pulsory education for all rural students there is still a long way to go before students in rural areas will be able to receive education of a similar quality to that enjoyed by their urban counterparts. The teaching facilities and incomes of teachers in rural areas, poverty-stricken areas in particular, leave a lot to be **pared with their urban counterparts.Rural students who receive free university education are required to return to teach in rural schools for a certain period of time before they leave for other jobs, but preferential policies are needed to encourage good teachers to teach in rural areas and financial aid is needed to improve the physical condition of students.Write an argumentative essay of about 400 words on the following topicEqual Education for Rural Students and Their Urban Counterparts。

Some believe China Inc can be more sinister than that: for example, America thinks that Chinese telecoms-equipment firms pose a threat to its national security.That would be a mistake. China is miles away from posing this kind of threat: most of its firms are only just finding their feet abroad. Even in natural resources, where it has been most active in dealmaking, it is not close to controlling enough supply to rig the market for most commodities. Nor is China‟s system as monolithic as foreigners often assume. State companies compete at home and their decision-making is consensual rather than dictatorial. When abroad they may have mixedmotives, and some sectors—defence and strategic infrastructure, for instance—are too sensitive to allow them in. But such areas are relatively few.What if Chinese state-owned companies run their acquisitions for politics, not profit? So long as other firms could satisfy consumers' needs, it would not matter. Chinese companies could safely be allowed to own energy firms, for instance, in a competitive market where customers could turn to other suppliers. And if Chinese firms throw subsidised capital around the world, that‟s fine. America and Europe could use the money. The danger that cheap Chinese capital might undermine rivals can be better dealt with by beefing up competition law than by keeping investment out.Not all Chinese companies are state-directed. Some are largely independent and mainly interested in profits. Often these firms are making the running abroad. Take Volvo‟s new owner,Geely. Volvo should now be able to sell more cars in China; without the deal its future was bleak. Chinese firms can bring new energy and capital to flagging companies around the world; butinfluence will not just flow one way. To succeed abroad, Chinese companies will have to adapt. That means hiring local managers, investing in local research and placating local concerns—for example by listing subsidiaries locally. Indian and Brazilian firms have an advantage abroad thanks to their private-sector DNA and more open cultures. That has not been lost on Chinese managers.01.

The classical view is that aging happens because of random wear and tear. A newer view holds that aging is more orderly and genetically driven.Proponents of this view point out that animals of similar species and exposure to wear and tear have markedly different life span. The Canada goose has a longevity of 23.5 years; the emperor goose only 6.3 years. Perhaps animals are like plants, with lives that are to a large extent, internally governed. Certain species of bamboo, for instance, form a dense stand that grows and flourishes for a hundred years, flowers all at once, and then dies.The idea that living things shut down and not just wear down has received substantial support in the past decade. Researchers working with the now famous worm C. elegans (two of the last five Nobel Prizes in medicine went to scientist doing work on the little nematode) were able to produce worms that live more than twice as long and age more slowly by altering a single gene. Scientists have since come up with single-gene alterations that increase the life spans of Drosophila fruit flies, mice and yeast. These findings notwithstanding, scientists do not believe that our life spans are actually programmed into us. After all, for most of our hundred-thousand-year existence—all but the past couple of hundred years—the average life span of human beings has been thirty years or less. Research suggests that subjects of the Roman Empire had an average life expectancy of twenty-eighty years. Today the average life span in developed countries is almost eighty years. If human life spans depend on our genetics, then medicine has got the upper hand. We are, in a way, freaks living well beyond our appointed time. So when we study aging, what we are trying to understand is not so much in a natural process as an unnatural one. Inheritance has surprisingly little influence on longevity. James Vaupel, of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, inRostock, Germany, noted that only six percent of how long you‟ll live, compared with the average, is explained by your parents‟ longevity; by contrast, up to ninety percent of how tall you are, compared with the average, is explained by your parents' height. Even genetically identical twins vary widely in life span: the typical gap is more than fifteen years.1.The main idea of this piece is ____.A.How long one lives depends on one‟s parentsB.How long one lives is related to one‟s genesC.How long one lives depends on many factorsD.How long one lives can be statistically determined2.The example of goose's life span shows that ____.A.Canada goose lives longer than emperor gooseB.Emperor goose has a very short life spanC.Canada goose and emperor goose belong to the same specieD.Different kinds of the same specie may have different life span3.What, as the author mentions in this article, is genetically determined?A. life expectancyB. heightC. voiceD. look04.

What is it?A. Twins look alike.B. Twins are almost identical in height.C.Twins usually have different length of life span.D.Twins usually have the same temperament.Passage CMany reasons have been adduced for the rise of the Leica. There is the hectic progress of the illustrated press, avid for photographs to fill its columns; there is the increased mobility, spending power, and leisure time of the middle class, who wished to preserve a record of these novel blessing, if not for posterity, then at least for show. Yet the great inventions, more often than not, are triggered less by vast historical movements than by the pressures of individual change—or in Leica‟s case, by asthma. Every Leica employee who drives down Oscar-Barnack-Strasse is reminded of corporate glory, for it was Banack, a former engineer at Carl Zeiss, the famous lens makers in Jena, who designed the Leica I. He was an amateur photographer, and the camera had first occurred to him, as if in a vision, in 1905, twenty years before it actually went on sale: “Back then I took pictures using a camera that tool 13 by 18 plates, with six double -plate holders and a large leather case similar to a salesman's sample case. This was quite a load to haul around when I set off each Sunday through the Thuringer Wald, while I struggled up the hillsides (bearing in mind that I suffer from asthma) an idea came to me. Couldn't this be done differently?”Five years later, Barnack was invited to work for Ernst Leitz, a rival optical company, in Watzlar. (The company stayed there until 1988, when it was sold, and the cameradivision, renamed Leica, shifted to Solms, fifteen minutes away.) By 1913-14, he had developed what became known as the ur-Leica; a tough, squat rectangular metal box, not much bigger than a spectacles case, with rounded corners and a retractable brass lens. You could tuck it into a jacket pocket, wander around the Thuringer woods all weekend, and never gasp for breath The extraordinary fact is that, if you were to place it next to today‟s Leica MP, the similarities would far outweigh the differences; stand a young man beside his own great-grand father and you get the same effect.Barnack took a picture on August 2, 1914, using the new device. Reproduced in AlessandroPasi‟s comprehensive study Leica: Witness to a Century (2004), it shows a helmeted soldier turning away from a column on which he has just plastered the imperial order for mobilization. This was the first hint of the role that would fall to Leica above all other cameras: to be there in history‟s face. Not until the end of the hostilities did Barnack resume work on the Leica, as it came to be called. (His own choice of name was Lilliput, but wiser counsels prevail.) Whenever you buy a 35-milimeter camera, you pay homage to Barnack.11. Leica most probably is ____.A. brand name of a cameraB. the name of a factoryC. the brand name of filmD. the name of a man12.Leica was invented thanks to ____.A.There appear more magazines with picturesB.People have more money to spareC.

Leica MP and Leica I look alikeB. Leica MP is more advancedC.Leica I enjoyed a long history than Leica MPD.Leica MP enjoys more respect than Leica IPassage D“Essay end up in books,”—like this one—“but they start their lives in magazines,” wrote Susan Sontag in her introduction to The Best American Essays 1992. That‟s what I see first, year and year: the magazines.Hundreds of them. Some so slick they slip from my hands and slide off each other when I try to construct neat piles. Some of the satiny arid scented fashion magazines display so much commercialized fetishism—high-gloss models brought to erotic ecstasy by luxurious handbags—that I feel, as I dutifully flip through the clingy pages searching for content, I must be a creature from a different planet, a terribly deprived and disadvantaged one. Still, that doesn‟t prevent me from sniffing the perfume ads along the way, and for an intoxicating moment sample a world where reading and writing essays seems not just a marginal occupation, but decidedly déclassé.The Best American Essays features a selection of the year's outstanding essays, essays of literary achievement that show an awareness of craft and forcefulness of thought. Hundreds of essays are gathered annually from a wide assortment of national and regional publications. These essays are then screened, and approximately one hundred are turned over to a distinguished guest editor, who may add a few personal discoveries and who makes the final selections. The list of Notable Essays appearing in the back of the book is drawn from the final comprehensive list that includes not only all the essays submitted to the guest editor but also many that were not submitted.To qualify for the volume, the essay must be a work of respectable literary quality, intended as a fully developed, independent essay on a subject of general interest (not specialized scholarship), originally written in English (or translated by the author) forpublication in an American periodical during the calendar year. Today‟s essay is a highly flexible and shifting form, however, so these criteria are not carved in stone.Magazine editors who want to be sure their contributions will be considered each year should submit issues or subscriptions to: Robert Atwan, Serial Editor, The Best American Essays. P.O. Box 220, Redville, MA 02137. Writers and editors are welcome to submit published essays from any American periodical for consideration; unpublished work does not qualify for the series and cannot be reviewed or evaluated. Please note: all submissions must be directly from the publication and not in manuscript or printout format. Editors of online magazines and literary bloggers should not assume that appropriate work will be seen; they are invited to submit printed copies of the essays (with full citations) to the address above.16.“Essays end up in books,”—like this one—“but they start their lives in magazines,” This sentence means ____.A.Essays end their life in booksB.Essays are first published in magazines and then in the book formC.Essays in magazines can gain a larger readershipD.Essays play their ceaselessly active and important role in books17.“These criteria are not carved in stone”. It can be safely assumed according to the article that this sentence means.A.These criteria are written in booksB.These criteria are fixed and remain unchangedC.These criteria are flexible and always changeD.These criteria are authorized and powerful18.How are the best essays selected?A. Selected by a group of specialistsB.

Here MA is the abbreviation of a US state. It is ____.A. MarylandB. MichiganC. MassachusettsD. MississippiPart 4: Writing. (30 POINTS)The following excerpt is taken from one English newspaper. The primary purpose of this passage is intended to provide a source of inspiration for writing rather than tempt you into copying the same thing in your composition. Write an argumentative essay of about 400 words on the following topic: What Gratitude Means to Me.The gifts or blessings of life are always there but. if we are not aware of them, they don‟t do much for us. That is where gratefulness comes in. Gratefulness makes us aware of the gift and makes us happy. As long as we take things for granted theydon‟t make us happy. Gratefulness is the key to happiness. Practicing gratitude is so central to my spirituality. That‟s why I am now working on a website that is called www. gratefulness. org. It is an interactive website that helps people to discover and cultivate gratefulness and to change society. There are a thousand ways to do that. We even have a new feature of lighting a candle in cyberspace. This is not a gimmick, but it is a 21st century ritual You click on the candlewick to light it and it will burn for twenty-four hours and get smaller as it burns. You can send a message to someone telling them you lit a candle for them. This provides a gratefulness ritual you can do right where you are, and we are very poor on ritual in our time. Rituals are very important to human beings; they keep us alive.11。
