The short clauses give the impression that the processes are finished rapidly, thus showing Caesar’s pride and arrogance.2. Some were decorous:old people in long stiff robes of mauve and grey, grave master workmen, quiet, merry women carrying their babies and chatting as they walked.A loose sentence puts the major idea first and then the illustration. Such a sentence is easy to grasp. It can produce direct and clear effect.Here following “some were decorous”, we have a lot of attributive and modifying elements following it. This structure can make the description detailed and complete, dragging the listener himself into the scene.V．Identify the figures of speech in the following sentence. (2%*10=20%)1.It has the poorest millionaire, the littlest great men, the haughtiest beggars, the plainest beauties, the lowest sky-scrapers, the dolefulest pleasures of any town I ever saw.

With the rapid growth of the global population and the depletion of natural resources, it is crucial to find ways to balance economic growth with environmental protection. One of the most significant challenges in achieving this balance is the issue of waste management.Traditional waste management methods, such as landfilling and incineration, have proven to be ineffective and environmentally harmful. These methods contribute to air and water pollution, as well as the release of greenhouse gases. As a result, many countries have turned to more sustainable practices, such as recycling and composting.Recycling is the process of converting waste materials into new products. It not only reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfills but also conserves natural resources. Composting, on the other hand,involves the decomposition of organic waste into nutrient-rich soil.This process helps to reduce methane emissions and provides a valuable resource for agriculture.Despite the benefits of these sustainable practices, challenges remain. One of the main issues is the lack of awareness and participation among the general public. Many people are not aware of the importance of recycling and composting, and those who are often do not take the necessary steps to participate in these programs.Another challenge is the infrastructure required to support recyclingand composting. Proper facilities and collection systems need to be in place to ensure that waste is properly processed. Additionally, the cost of implementing these programs can be significant, and funding can be a barrier to their success.Questions:16. What is the main challenge mentioned in the passage regarding waste management?a) Lack of fundingb) Lack of infrastructurec) Lack of awareness and participationd) Lack of proper facilities17. Why are traditional waste management methods considered environmentally harmful?a) They contribute to air and water pollution.b) They are expensive to implement.c) They require a lot of labor.d) They are not efficient in reducing waste.18. What is the primary purpose of recycling?a) To reduce the amount of waste in landfills.b) To create jobs in the waste management industry.c) To provide a source of income for the government.d) To reduce methane emissions.Section 4: Writing (20% of total score)Instructions: Write a short essay (200-300 words) on the following topic:Describe the importance of sustainable development in today’s world. How can individuals and communities contribute to the achievement of sustainable goals?Your Answer:[Your essay goes here, discussing the importance of sustainable development and providing examples of how individuals and communities can contribute to its achievement.]。

2)What is Literary Criticism? (10%)
Literary criticism is an attempt to evaluate and understand the
creative writing, the literature of an author. Literature includes plays,
essays, novels, poetry, and short stories. Literary criticism is a
description, analysis, evaluation, or interpretation of a particular
literary work or an author's writings as a whole. Literary criticism is
usually expressed in the form of a critical essay. In-depth book
reviews are also sometimes viewed as literary criticism.
3)Why should we make discourse analysis? (10%)
Discourse analysis (DA), or discourse studies, is a general term for a number of approaches to analyzing written, spoken, signed language use or any significant semiotic event.
The objects of discourse analysis —discourse, writing, conversation, communicative event, etc.—are variously defined in terms of coherent sequences of sentences, propositions, speech acts or turns-at-talk. Contrary to much of traditional linguistics, discourse analysts not only study language use 'beyond the sentence boundary', but also prefer to analyze 'naturally occurring' language use, and not invented examples. This is known as corpus linguistics; text linguistics is related. The essential difference between discourse analysis and text linguistics is that it aims at revealing socio-psychological characteristics of a person/persons rather than text structure.[1]
Discourse analysis has been taken up in a variety of social science disciplines, including linguistics, sociology, anthropology, social work, cognitive psychology, social psychology, international relations, human geography, communication studies and translation studies, each of which is subject to its own assumptions, dimensions of analysis, and methodologies. Sociologist Harold Garfinkel was another influence on the discipline
