Try to detect the mistakes and write out your corrected answers on the answer sheet. Sample test: He commenced helping the poor. →commenced to help (1)Every afternoon a file of very old women passes down the road outside my house, each

carried a load of firewood. All of them are mummified with age and the sun, and all of them are tiny. (2) It seems to be generally the case in primitive communities that the women, when they get beyond a certain age, shrink in the size of children. (3) One day poor creature who could not have been more than four feet tall crept past me under a vast load of wood. (4)I stopped her and put a five-sou piece into her hand. She answered with a shrill wail, almost a scream, that was partly gratitude but mainly surprise. (5) I suppose that from her point of view, by taking some notice of her, I seemed almost to be violating a law of nature. (6) She accepted her status as an old woman, that is to say as a beast of burden. When a family is traveling it is quite unusual to see a father and a grown-up son riding ahead on donkeys, and an old woman following on foot, carrying the baggage. (7) But that is strange about these people is their invisibility. For several weeks, always at about the same time of day, the file of old women had hobbled past the house with their firewood, (8)and because they had registered themselves on my eyeballs I cannot truly say that I had seen them. (9) This kind of thing makes one’s blood boiling, whereas-- on the whole -- the plight of the human beings does not. (10) I am not commenting, merely pointing to a fact. People with brown skins are next door close to invisible. Anyone can be sorry for the donkey with its galled back, but it is generally owing to some kind of accident if one even notices the old woman under her load ofsticks. III Reading Comprehension 1. Directions: Give an answer to each of the questions listed at the end of the following passage. There is no month in the whole year, in which nature wears a more beautiful appearance than in the month of August. Spring has many beauties, and May is a fresh and blooming month, but the

charms of this time of year are enhanced by their contrast with the winter season. August has no such advantage. It comes when we remember nothing but clear skies, green fields, and sweet-smelling flowers—when the recollection of snow, and ice, and bleak winds, has faded from our minds as completely as they have disappeared from the earth—and yet what a pleasant time it is!. Orchards and cornfields ring with the hum of labours; trees bend beneath the thick clusters of rich fruit which bow their branches to the ground; and the corn, piled in graceful sheaves, or waving in every light breath that sweeps above it, as if it wooed the sickle, tinges the landscape with a golden hue. A mellow softness appears to hang over the whole earth; the influence of the season seems to extend itself to the very wagon, whose slow motion across the well-reaped field, is perceptible only to the eye, but strikes with no harsh sound upon the ear As the coach rolls swiftly past the fields and orchards which skirt the road, groups of women and children, piling the fruit in sieves, or gathering the scattered ears of corn, pause for an instant from their labor, and shading the sunburnt face with a still browner hand, gaze upon the passengers with curious eyes, while some stout urchin, too small to work but too mischievous to be left at home, scrambles over the side of basket in which he has been deposited for security, and kicks and screams with delight. The reaper stops in his work, and stands with folded arms, looking at the vehicle as it whirls past; and the rough cart-horses bestow a sleepy glance upon the smart coach team, which says, as plainly as a horse’s glance can,

“it’s all very fine to look at, but slow going, over a heavy field, is better than warm work like that, upon a dusty road, after all.” You cast a look behind you, as you turn a corner of the road. The women and children have resumed their labour; the reaper once more stoops to his work; the cart-horses have moved on; and all are again in motion. Questions: 1. What kind of life does the author dream to live? Answer the question based on the symbolic description in the passage. 2. Translate the underlined sentences into elegant Chinese. 2. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question among the four choices. Passage 1 The National Trust in Britain, together with similar voluntary organization, plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside. Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the government, it is not a rich government, supported by public taxes. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and ancient sites to preserve them for the permanent enjoyment of the public. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. It has 160,000 members in England, Wales and Northern Ireland who pay a small subscription each year, and its primary duties are to protect for the nation places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest and

preserve them from the dangers of modern development and extinction. The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the late Lord Lothian, who in 1935 said that, as a result of taxation and estate duty, most of these ancient houses under sentence of death. When he died his great seventh century house and all its contents to the Trust together with 4,5000-acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicity and it started the Trust’s “Country House Scheme”. Under the scheme, with the cooperation of the government and thanks to the generosity of the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about one hundred and fifty of these old houses, together with often very valuable contents. Whenever possible, the trust seeks to maintain continuity and to preserve these as living realities rather than as dead museums. It is the view of the Trust that the families who give them to the nation and whose ancestors created them make the best possible curators. In addition to country houses and open spaces the trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, gardens, roman antiquities, farms and small villages, as well as complete villages. In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb the old village environment and all houses maintain their organizational sixteen-century style. The
