Now let us begin Part A with the first passage.听力原文：Well, yesterday we talked about long-term trading in the stock exchange. This morning I will focus myself on short-term trading. Recently, short-term trading has become more popular. Short-term trading especially refers to the one called day trading. Day traders seek to earn money from the daily changes in the price of a stock. Day trading is an extremely risky form of investing. It is possible to gain a large amount of money very quickly by day trading. Most day traders, however, lose money. This is because they don’t invest according to the common rules, but invest and earn money entirely by chance. I believe that, very soon, investors should be able to trade stocks twenty-four hours a day. Seven days a week. So my next lecture will focus on electronic dealing and its impact.1．Passage 1正确答案：昨天，我们讨论了(股市里)股票的长期交易。

Section 1 of that amendment, drafted with freed slaves in mind, says: “ All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subj to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States. 〞Some conservatives in Congress, as well as advocacy groups seeking to crack down on illegal immigration, say the amendment has been misapplied over the years, that it was never intended to grant citizenship automatically to babies of illegal immigrants. Thus they contend that federal legislation, rather than a difficult-to-achieve constitutional amendment, would be sufficient to end birthright citizenship.“ MostAmericans feel it doesn 'mt ake any sense for people to come into the country illegally, give birth an d have a new U.S. citizen, 〞said the spokesman of th federation of American immigration reform. “ But the advocates for illegal immi will make a fuss; they ' lcllaim you ' repunishing the children, and I suspect the leadership doesn ' t want to deatlhwaitt.h 〞SECTION 4: LISTENING TEST (30 minutes)Part A: Note-taking and Gap-fillingDirections: In this part of the test you will hear a short talk.

广东省衡水百校联考2024-2025学年高三上学期9月月考语文试题及参考答案
广东省衡水百校联考2024-2025学年高三上学期9月月考语文试题一、现代文阅读（35分）（一）现代文阅读I（本题共5小题，19分）阅读下面的文字，完成1~5题。
材料一：陈国栋同志的报告是一个重要文件。
请各大区区长主持讨论，细致地讨论，讨论两次至三次。
我基本上同意这个文件所述的意见。
但觉：（一）假定今年年成比去年确实好的情况之下，征购一千一百亿斤，力争办到，这是变被动为主动的第一着。
今年年成如果在秋收以后确实较去年好，确实证明无妄的时候，为什么不能征购到这个数目字呢？（二）下年度销售计划，我感觉不但一千另二十亿斤，是太多了，这个文件上调整为八百五十五亿斤，似乎也略为多了一点。
是否可以调整为八百亿斤，或者八百一十、二十亿呢？告诉农民，恢复糠菜半年粮，可不可以呢？苦一年、两年、三年，就翻过身来了。
多储备，少食用，以人定量，粮食归户……忙时多吃，闲时少吃，有稀有干，粮菜混吃，仍然可以吃饱吃好，可不可以这样做呢？（三）多产粮，是上策。
田头地角，零星土地，谁种谁收，不征不购，主要为了解决饲料，部分为了人用。
恢复私人菜园，一定要酌给自留地。
凡此种种，可以多收。
既已多收，可以多吃（例如菜）。
（四）好好地精细地安排过日子。
是否可以按照一九五七年的实际产量安排过日子呢？一九五七年的日子不是过得还不错吗？这样做，农民的粮食储备就可以增得较多了。
手里有粮，心里不慌，脚踏实地，喜气洋洋。
……以上几点意见，只供同志们此次讨论的参考，切勿下传。
不对之处，准备修改。
（摘自毛泽东《粮食问题》）【注】这是毛泽东于一九五九年七月五日为印发粮食部副部长陈国栋关于一九五九至一九六零年度粮食分配和粮食收支计划调整意见的报告写的批语，题目是毛泽东拟的。
此前还曾批示：“要十分抓紧，按人定量，忙时多吃，闲时少吃，忙时吃干，闲时半干半稀，杂以番薯、青菜、萝卜、瓜豆、芋头之类。
”材料二：一个国家唯有立足粮食基本自给，才能掌握粮食安全的主动权，才能保障国运民生。
高级口译阅读真题及答案九月
Questions 1~5British Aerospace is planning to set up its own university becauseit cannot recruit the skilled graduates it needs from existinginstitutions.BAe has a team drafting a range of options for the university, whichwould award its own degrees. Work on the scheme is expected to start in the next few months.Sir Richard Evans, chief executive of British Aerospace, hasalready launched a recruiting drive for engineers on the Continent because of a shortage of high-calibre domestic candidates. Advertising campaignsin France, Germany and other European countries will seek to attract students expecting to graduate in the summer. Other engineering employers are expe3cted to follow suit. The move to take on overseas graduates comes after BAe left one in five of its graduate places unfilled last year, blaming shortcomings in the education system. If the scheme is approved, BAe will either build a full university or incorporate sites at its main research and manufacturing centres at Farnborough, Surrey, and Warton, Lancashire. The company would have to convince the education authorities that the university had sufficient teaching capacity and autonomy for it to be allowed to award degrees. Bae said it was setting up its own education system and recruiting staff abroad because "there is a shortage of engineering graduates, both in terms of quantity and quality".The Engineering Employers' Federation said that skill shortageswere an urgent problem. Rolls-Royce, another large engineering employer, said there was a general skill shortage, although it had filled itsgraduate quota. Rolls will soon recruit internationally to reflect itsexpanding international operations.Engineering's failure to attract students has been attributed topoor pay and long-term prospects, given the decline in British manufacturing. BAe would not reveal how much it pays graduates, but Lucas Variety, a large engineering employer, paid a starting salary of ￡14,200last year. That compares with an average graduate starting salary of￡15,300, according to Income Data Services.British universities have found it increasingly difficult torecruit well-qualified undergraduates. Even Oxford and Cambridge fail to meet their quotas in many engineering subjects.Alan Smithers, whose Centre for Education and Employment Research,at Brunel University, produced a report on the supply of science and engineering graduates early this year, said that the discipline had beenover expanded. "There is now a lack of quality to withstand competitionin an increasingly international sphere. Companies go where they can find the best candidates."Engineering does not enjoy the high status in Britain that itoccupies in other parts of the world. Courses in other parts of Europeand the Far East command among the highest entry requirements of all degree subjects and take five years, rather than the norm of three in Britain.1. British Aerospace is recruiting engineers on the Continent ______.(A) as the pay for them can be much lower(B) as there are not enough well-qualified candidates at home(C) to compete with France, Germany and other European countries(D) to set up a university of its own.2. In the passage, the expression "to follow suit" in the sentence "Other engineering employers are expected to follow suit" (para. 4) can best be paraphrased as _______.(A) tojoin BAe in its recruiting scheme (B) to take theunanimous action(C) to recruit graduates overseas (D) to establishuniversities3. Which of the following is NOT the reason that engineering courses failto attract British students?(A) The decline of British manufacturing industry.(B) The recruitment of engineers abroad.(C) The lower pay for engineering graduates.(D) The long and slow process of success and promotion after graduation.4. "Oxford" and "Cambridge" are mentioned in the passage to show that_______.(A) they are the world famous universities.they are not cooperating with British Aerospace(C) they are reforming the engineering education(D) they can not fulfil their recruitment quotas in engineering5. Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?(A) There should be further cooperation between British Aerospace and Higher Institutions(B) Shortage of engineers leads BAe to plan its own university(C) British Higher Education has recently been reevaluated(D) British Engineering education is severely criticized for its lackof qualityQuestion 6~10 In an unprecedented trans-European strike, Renault workers yesterday staged simultaneous stoppages in France, Belgium and Spain to protest against the car maker's decision to close its factory at Vilvoordein Belgium and cut 6,000 jobs.Despite union fury and a storm of criticism from French politiciansand the European Commission, Louis Schweitzer, the Renault chairman, insisted that the closure of the Belgian factory in July with the lossof 3,100 jobs was traumatic but necessary. "It's a brutal, hard and painful decision," Mr.Schweitzer said. "If we do nothing, the company will be." Up to one third of workers downed tools for one hour during each shiftin Paris and other parts of France, while Belgian demonstrators from the threatened Vilvoorde plant massed outside the French Embassy in Brussels and threw a car chassis across police barricades. Belgian Renault dealers across the country joined the protest by shutting up shop.The Renault board has approved a plan to shed an additional 2,764jobs in France, where stoppages began overnight at the Renault factoryin Le Mans, and continued yesterday at plants in Cleon, Sandouville and Douai.About 90 per cent of workers at four Renault plants in Spain downedtools for one hour and employees at factories operated in Belgium by General Motors, Volkswagen, Ford, Opel and Volvo also staged one-hour strikes in solidarity with their Renault counterparts./Workers at Renault plants in Portugal, however, did not respond tothe strike call.Up to one third of workers downed tools for one hour during each shiftin Paris and other parts of France, while Belgian demonstrators from the threatened Vilvoorde plant massed outside the French Embassy in Brussels and threw a car chassis across police barricades.

Critics claim that he is callously taking advantage of differentlabour costs across Europe, and on Thursday Karl Van Miert, the European Commissioner, announced he was blocking Spanish investment subsides for Renault on the grounds that it was "absurd" to close the profitable Belgian plant.The Spanish Government yesterday decided to suspend its request for approval of an 8 million subsidy it had planned to provide for a Renaultinvestment in Valladolid.The management of the newly-privatised French automaker claims thatthe Vilvoorde plant was singled out because it has the highest production costs.While President Chirac of France has expressed "shock" at the abruptway the closure was announced, as Mr. Schweitzer pointed out "the French Government has not said that the decision should be altered, correctedor that it was not good for the company".6. The Belgians demonstrated outside the French Embassy in Brussels______.(A) to protest against French President Chirac's speech(B) to support French workers' strike at Renault plants(C) to protest against the closure of the Vilvoorde factory by theFrench car maker(D) to voice their solidarity with all Renault workers7. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.(A) about 6,000 jobs will be cut from the Renault factory at Vilvoordein Belgium(B) one third of workersin the Vilvoorde factory will lose their jobs(C) about 6,000 workers will be laid off from Renault factories inBelgium and France(D) the strikes at Renault plants in Belgium and France will lead toa dismissal of about 6,000 workers8. According to the passage, the workers at factories operated in Belgiumby General Motors, Volkswagen, Ford, Opel and Volvo staged strikes _____.(A) to protest against the closure of their plants(B) to demand higher wages(C) to demand more subsidies from their governments(D) to support workers in Renault plants9. The expression "was singled out" (para. 11) can be replaced by whichof the following?(A) was closed down (B) waschosen(C) was reconstructed (D) wasseparated10.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?(A) Renault workers in several European countries staged strikeagainst the closure of the Vilvoorde factory.(B) The French Government planned to take action to change the decisionof the Renault board.(C) The decision to close the Renault factory in Vilvoorde met strongcriticism from different circles.(D) The labour costs of automobile industry vary greatly from countryto country, even in Europe.Question 11~15The Australian art world swooned when they saw the work of "Aboriginal" painter Eddie Burrup, whose haunting canvases depicted Aboriginal "Dreamtime" legends.The only trouble is, Eddie Burrup does not exist. He is a figmentof the imagination of an 82-year-old white woman whose hoax has embarrassed the cognoscenti and infuriated the nation's indigenous artists. Not since Brisbane literary award winner, Helen Demidenko, admitted she fooled the publishing world in 1995 by assuming a false identity, have Australia's artistic elite been so humbled.The elderly painter who so successfully pulled the wool overeveryone's eyes, is in fact Elizabeth Durack, a pastoralist, author and amateur anthropologist who lives in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia. Under Burrup's fictitious name, she produced a range of critically acclaimed work, including paintings, photographs andeven an autobiography. Everyone assumed Burrup was recluse living a hermit's existence in the Outback."His" creations were so impressive that they even featured in atouring Aboriginal art show. This month some of the works were due to be entered for the highly respected Sulman Prize, to be announced on March 21. But after yesterday's revelation "Burrup's" work will almostcertainly be withdrawn.Durack, of Irish descent, is a member of one of the country's mostfamous pioneering families. She is a well-know painter in her own right and confessed to her deception in an arts magazine, but refused to explain her motivation. "It's my last creative phase," was all she would say. However, art historian Robert Smith, a close family friend, defendedher actions. "she has created a character,just a playwright or a poet ora novelist will create a character," he said. "She hasn't appropriatedany motifs or themes, or forms of Aboriginal art at all," he insisted. Members of the Aboriginal art community were less forgiving,claiming she had stolen indigenous culture. "It's the last thing left thatyou could possibly take away other than our lives or shoot us all." John Mundine, an Aboriginal art curator, said. Doreen Mellor, senior curatorat Flinders Art Museum in Adelaide, said: "As an Aboriginal person I feel really offended."Ironically, the Durack family probably has a deeper knowledge of Aboriginal affairs than many other white settlers, having lived among Australia's indigenous people in Kimberley for nearly 180 years. In thelast century the Duracks had a reputation as the only family of pastoralists who did not shoot Aborigines.11.According to the passage. Eddie Burrup _______.(A) is an 82-year-old female painter(B) has long fascinated the Australian art world(C) has lived in Western Australia for many years(D) is an imaginary male Aboriginal painter12.According to the passage, the Australian artistic circles ______.(A) highly appreciate the work of Eddie Burrup(B) do not cosider Durack to be an artist(C) felt cheated by the trick of Elizabeth Durack(D) acknowledged Durack's contribution to the Aboriginal art13. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.(A) Durack imitated paintings from other Aboriginal artists(B) Durack lacked confidence in her own painting skills(C) Durack knew much about Aboriginal culture(D) Durack devoted all her life to the creation of Eddie Burrup14. The word "appropriated" in the sentence "She hasn't appropriated any motifs or themes, or forms of Aboriginal art at all," (para. 6) can bereplaced by which of the following?(A) made proper useof (B) used asher own invention(C) imitated and copied (D) studiedand designed15.Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?(A) Many white men killed or injured the native people in Australiain the last century.(B) The Durack family have been hostile to Australia's natives.(C) The Aboriginal artists criticised Durack's deceptive behaviour.(D) Some people felt sympathetic with Durack after the revelation ofher deception.Question 16~20The medical world was thrown into confusion yesterday when a judgeruled that food and hydration could be withdrawn from a 29-year-old woman,even though doing so would not strictly follow rules laid down by the Royal College of Physicians.The woman, known as Miss D, was suffering a "living death" and the timehad come for "merciful relief," said Sir Stephen Brown, President of theHigh Court Family Division.The case breaks new ground because in previous cases where doctorshave applied to turn off life-support machines of seriously brain-damaged patients, the victims have been in a "persistent vegetative state"(PVS).Miss D was not considered by experts to be in a PVS because she could track movement with her eyes and responded to cold water being poured into her ears.James Munby QC, who was appointed to represent the woman's interests, told Sir Stephen that the reason the Royal College had been anxious to identify what he had called a "bright line" over which the boundariesshould not be pushed was because there was always a danger of going downa "slippery slope". But the judge, in his ruling said that all theconsultants, doctors, medical team and family were agreed that Miss D had no awareness of her surroundings or herself, and all the evidence was that there was "no possibility of any meaningful life whatsoever". SirStephen said that he did not feel he was altering the boundaries of whocould be allowed to die. "I am driven to the conclusion... that it is inthis patient's best interest to withdraw the artificial feeding andhydration which is keeping her body alive."But the judgement was condemned by the anti-euthanasia group. Alert, which said the "barbaric practice" of cutting off life support systemsbto braindamaged patients should be banned. Dr.Peggy Norris, chairwomanof Alert, said: "Withholding food and fluids from a person capable of experiencing thirst had been used as a form of torture."The British Medical Association took the vies, however, that thejudgement did not extend the categories of patients from whom nutritionand hydration can be withdrawn. "It is an acknowledgment that it wouldbe ethically acceptable to consider withdrawal of nutrition and hydrationfrom and individual who has permanently lost his or her sentience and awareness," a spokesman said.Miss D was at university when she was seriously injured in a roadaccident in 1989. She recovered enough to walk round in familiar surroundings, but in 1995 was found unconscious in her bed, probably having had an epileptic fit. She has never subsequently recovered consciousness.This week her feeding tube had become dislodged, and a smalloperation would have been needed to replace it. Consequently the hospital trust caring for her had applied to the court for a declaration that itwas lawful to "discontinue all life sustaining treatment." Its requestwas upheld.A spokesman for the Royal College of Physicians said the decisionhad caused confusion. "We set up a working group to produce guidelines,in order to help doctors in a difficult situation. But they are onlyguidelines and thejudge is not obliged to follow them. Thejudgement doesnot change them, but it seems to be leading to some uncertainty among doctors."16. The case which concerns Miss D is mainly about ______.(A) whether she was in a "persistent vegetative state"(B) if she should be given further medical treatment(C) which method to be used to recover her consciousness(D) whether the withdrawal of food and fluids from her isjustifiable17. In the passage, the expression "breaks new ground" (para. 3) can be paraphrased as which of the following?(A) makes new discoveries (B) providesfurther opportunities(C) brings new problems (D) makesbreakthroughs18.What is the major issue of the argument according to the passage?(A) The redefinition of "persistent vegetative state."(B) The stoppage of life sustaining treatment to non PVS patients.(C) The ethical issues in treating PVS patients.(D) The distinctions between PVS and non PVS patients.19. It can be concluded that the author of the passage ______.(A) gives his personal opinion about the issue in question(B) reaches a comprehensive conclusion in the end(C) provides a detailed introduction on the issue of euthanasia(D) offers an objective report on different views towards the issue20. According to the spokesman for the Royal College of Physicians, thejudgement has ______.(A) set a precedent for future cases(B) strictly followed the guidelines set up by the Royal College of Physicians(C) brought about certain confusion in the medical profession(D) led to strong opposition in the medical world翻译：A commonplace criticism of American culture is its excessive preoccupation with material goods and corresponding neglect of the human spirit. Americans, it is alleged, worship only "the almighty dollar." We scramble to "keep up with the Joneses." The love affair between Americans and their automobiles has been a continuing subject of derisive commentary by both foreign and domestic critics. Americans are said to live by a quantitative ethic. Bigger is better, whether in bombs or sedans. The classical virtues of grace, harmony, and economy of both means and ends are lost on most Americans. As a result, we are said to be swallowing up the world's supply of natural resources, which are irreplaceable. Americans constitute 6 percent of the world's population but consume over a third of the world's energy. These are now familiar complaints. Indeed,in some respects Americans may believe the "pursuit of happiness" to mean the pursuit of material things.Questions 1~4 /A judge condemned European Union laws against corporal punishmentand the rise in single-parent families as he sent two young arsonists toa secure unit yesterday.Sentencing the boys, aged ten and 13, to two and a half years, Judge Rodwell QC said in Luton Crown Court that the abolition of corporal punishment in schools had left teachers unable to discipline unruly youngsters, leading to an increase in delinquency.The boys, who cannot be named for legal reasons, set fire to aneighbour's house as they roamed the streets of a council estate afterbeing expelled from school.Judge Rodwell said: "With the best intention in the world corporal punishment has been abolished and indeed that is a requirement of the EU"."But this has resulted in an extremely unsatisfactory situation.Nobody wants children to be flogged but it is no longer possible for a teacher to deal with even a minor incident by a cuff round the ear or a smack on the hand, which is swift and something the child entirely understands and stops minor incidents escalating."If the child does not respond to being told not to bring gin intoschool or beat his mates up the teacher has to go through discipline procedures. If the correct procedures are followed a great deal of verbiage comes out which may satisfy the intelligent niceties of educationists but has no impact on a great number of children. Suspension is hardly a sanction."The judge expressed concern over single-parent families, and saidthat children needed two parents. The boys had both come from broken homes.He said:"Both children come from homes where a father for a lot of the time was not present. It is often said that in single-parent homes children can be given as much love as they need but that is not the entire answer." During their trial last month the court was told that the two boyswere among a gang of children who harassed the Smith family on the Downsideestate, Dunstable, Bedfordshire.One day, the boys put paper through the letter box and tried to setlight to it, but failed. Then a woman neighbour, described by the judgeas "the neighbour from hell". lent them a lighter so they kicked the doorin and started a fire a on a hall table.The blaze left the house uninhabitable, causing ￡4,000 damage tothe building and destroying virtually everything the family owned. The boys denied arson.1. Why were the two boys sent to a secure unit?2. What is corporal punishment referred to in this passage? Cite examples of corporal punishment from the passage.3. What are the advantages of corporal punishment, according to Judge Rodwell?4. Explain in your own words the statement "suspension is hardly asanction" (para. 6)?Question 5~7Five train companies will have to ask for more cash from the next government to run services, according to a report out yesterday.The study, conducted by a former transport analyst with Cityaccountants Coopers and Lybrand for Save Our Railways, the pressure group, claimed that many private operators bid so aggressively for train services they will be unable to meet the ambitious targets they have set themselves. Another four franchises are likely to run into financialdifficulties, making losses even if they manage to increase revenues by16 per cent over seven years.The loss-making franchises--Cardiff Railways, West Anglia and Great Northern and South Wales and West, Thameslink and Thames Trains--are likely to require more than ￡500m in extra subsidy in order to keep trains running. /"There has been concern in the rail industry for some time aboutthe way that some of the later franchises were let to bidders who weretaking a gamble," said Keith Bill, national secretary of Save OurRailways.The City's initial concerns about rail privatisation have meant that many early bids were "given away". South West Trains, which introducedan emergency timetable after cutting driver numbers, is predicted to make nearly ￡480m if it grows at 3 per cent a year.Also likely to make bumper profits are Great Western, which runsexpress InterCity services from London to the west country and could make ￡462m, and French-based company CGEA, in line for more than ￡600m fromits two commuter services. Campaigners point out that Opraf, the government body which let out franchises, realised that some would make money and others would run into difficulties.Train companies said that the growth forecasts were too low. "In twoyears we have increased our takings by 50 per cent," said a spokesman for Thames Trains. "So we expect to grow for faster than this report estimates."The analysis should jolt Labour's rail policy into life. The speedsell-off of British Rail has caught the party off-guard and forced itstransport team into a series of embarrassing U-turns--which hasculminated in a decision not to take any bankrupt train service intopublic hands. /"We will consider all the options and as a last resort we will offera bankrupt train srvice to private bidders in order to secure the bestdeal for the taxpayer," said a sopkeswoman for Andrew Smith, the shadow Secretary of State of Transport.Senior railway managers point out that this would mean that theLabour party would be forced into paying moresubsidy.5. Why are some train companies likely to make losses even if they manage to increase revenue?6. What does the sentence "many early bids were `given away'" (para. 6) mean?7. According to the passage, what are the impacts of the speed privatisation of British Rail on the Labour Party?Question 8~10The message in London's singles flat market is clear if you can findanything you like then buy now, Dixie Nichols writes.London is seeing "a vibrant and wealthy singles flat market"according to David Salvi of the Clerkenwell agents Hurford, Salvi and Carr. The middle market flat agents Douglas & Gordon and Chestertons both say prices in the sector are up 20 per cent on a year ago, both say this sector has improved by 20 per cent in the past 12 months, and both have a backlog of buyers. /Melissa Carter, of Douglas & Gordon's Battersea office, says: "Whatwas a good offer two months ago looks about right now. the deals are holding and valuers (who had been acting as a brake) are now prepared to follow." Buyers in the singles market come wielding big deposits (up to a thirdof the price is not unusual), and frequently leapfrog the studio andone-bed flats starting in at two beds. Often the second bed is let to afriend to take the sting out of the mortgage. /Although agents complain of there not being enough stock, there isa steady influx from the commercial block conversions. The new wave of developments is hitting the market now.The market is hungry and snaps up anything well priced. The Ziggurat Building in Clerkenwell, north London, sold all 34 units in its first phase within an hour of opening its doors, but the price was exceptional-- ￡140a sq ft when most schemes hover at ￡200 to ￡250.The developers' headline price may not have shot up in the past yearbut the amount of space you get for your money has been shaved, When Sapcote's Beauchamp Building in Hatton Garden, central London, was introduced last September the shell sizes of 1,200 to 1,400 sq ft were。

SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST
Directions: Translate of the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.
The task of writing a history of our nation from Rome’s earliest days fills me, I confess, with some misgivings, and even were I confident in the value of my work, I should hesitate to say so. I am aware that for historians to make extravagant claims is, and always has been, all too common: every writer on history tends to look down his nose at his less cultivated predecessors, happily persuaded that he will better them in point of style, or bring new facts to light. Countless others have written on this theme and it may be that I shall pass unnoticed amongst them; if so, I must comfort myself with the greatness and splendor of my rivals, whose work will rob my own of recognition.
My task, moreover, is an immensely laborious one. I shall have to go back more than 700 years, and trace my story from its small beginnings up to these recent times when its ramifications are so vast that any adequate treatment is hardly possible. I shall find antiquity a rewarding study, if only because, while I am absorbed in it, 1 shall be able to turn my eyes from the troubles which for so long have tormented the modern world, and to write without any of that over-anxious consideration which may well plague a writer on contemporary life, even if it does not lead him to conceal the truth.。
