　　II. Reading Comprehension (40%)

　　Directions: This part consists of two sections. In Section A, there are four passages

　　followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. In Section B, there is

　　one passage followed by a total of 5 short-answer questions. Read the

　　passages and write your answers on the Answer Sheet.

　　Section A Multiple-Choice Questions (30%)

　　Passage 1

　　Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

　　Enlightening, challenging, stimulating, fun. These were some of the words that Nature readers

　　used to describe their experience of art-science collaborations in a series of articles on partnerships

　　between artists and researchers. Nearly 40% of the roughly 350 people who responded to an

　　accompanying poll said, they had collaborated with artists; and almost all said they would consider

　　doing so in future.

　　Such an encouraging result is not surprising. Scientists are increasingly seeking out visual artists

　　to help them communicate their work to new audiences. “Artists help scientists reach a broader

　　audience and make emotional connections that enhance learning,” one respondent said.

　　One example of how artists and scientists have together rocked the scenes came last month when

　　the Sydney Symphony Orchestra performed a reworked version of Antonio Vivaldi’s The Four

　　Seasons. They reimagined the 300-year-old score by injecting the latest climate prediction data for each

　　season—provided by Monash University’s Climate Change Communication Research Hub. The

　　performance was a creative call to action ahead of November’s United Nations Climate Change

　　Conference in Glasgow, UK.

　　But a genuine partnership must be a two-way street. Fewer artists than scientists responded to the

　　Nature poll, however, several respondents noted that artists do not simply assist scientists with their

　　communication requirements. Nor should their work be considered only as an object of study. The

　　alliances are most valuable when scientists and artists have a shared stake in a project, are able to jointly

　　design it and can critique each other’s work. Such an approach can both prompt new research as well as

　　result in powerful art.

　　More than half a century ago, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology opened its Center for

　　Advanced Visual Studies (CAVS) to explore the role of technology in culture. The founders deliberately

　　focused their projects around light—hence the “visual studies” in the name. Light was a something that

　　both artists and scientists had an interest in, and therefore could form the basis of collaboration. As

　　science and technology progressed, and divided into more sub-disciplines, the centre was

　　simultaneously looking to a time when leading researchers could also be artists, writers and poets, and

　　vice versa.

　　Nature’s poll findings suggest that this trend is as strong as ever, but, to make a collaboration work,

　　both sides need to invest time, and embrace surprise and challenge. The reach of art-science tie-ups

　　needs to go beyond the necessary purpose of research communication, and participants must not fall

　　into the trap of stereotyping each other. Artists and scientists alike are immersed in discovery and

　　invention, and challenge and critique are core to both, too.

　　31. According to Paragraph 1, art-science collaborations have ______.

　　A. caught the attention of critics

　　B. received favorable responses

　　C. promoted academic publishing

　　D. sparked heated public disputes

　　32. The reworked version of The Four Seasons is mentioned to show that ______.

　　A. art can offer audiences easy access to science

　　B. science can help with the expression of emotions

　　C. public participation in science has a promising future

　　D. art is effective in facilitating scientific innovations

　　33. Some artists seem to worry about in the art-science partnership that ______.

　　A. their role may be underestimated

　　B. their reputation may be impaired

　　C. their creativity may be inhibited

　　D. their work may be misguided

　　34. What does the author say about CAVS?

　　A. It was headed alternately by artists and scientists.

　　B. It exemplified valuable art-science alliances.

　　C. Its projects aimed at advancing visual studies.

　　D. Its founders sought to raise the status of artists.

　　35. In the last paragraph, the author holds that art-science collaborations ______.

　　A. are likely to go beyond public expectations

　　B. will intensify interdisciplinary competition

　　C. should do more than communicating science

　　D. are becoming more popular than before

　　Passage 2

　　Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.

　　As a historian who’s always searching for the text or the image that makes us re-evaluate the

　　past, I’ve become preoccupied with looking for photographs that show our Victorian ancestors

　　smiling (what better way to shatter the image of 19th-century prudery?). I’ve found quite a few,

　　and—since I started posting them on Twitter—they have been causing quite a stir. People have been

　　surprised to see evidence that Victorians had fun and could, and did, laugh. They are noting that the

　　Victorians suddenly seem to become more human as the hundred-or-so years that separate us fade

　　away through our common experience of laughter.

　　Of course, I need to concede that my collection of ‘Smiling Victorians’ makes up only a tiny

　　percentage of the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900, the

　　majority of which show sitters posing miserably and stiffly in front of painted backdrops, or staring

　　absently into the middle distance. How do we explain this trend?

　　During the 1840s and 1850s, in the early days of photography, exposure times were notoriously

　　long: the daguerreotype photographic method (producing an image on a silvered copper plate) could

　　take several minutes to complete, resulting in blurred images as sitters shifted position or adjusted

　　their limbs. The thought of holding a fixed grin as the camera performed its magical duties was too

　　much to contemplate, and so anon-committal blank stare became the norm.

　　But exposure times were much quicker by the 1880s, and the introduction of the Box Brownie

　　and other portable cameras meant that, though slow by today’s digital standards, the exposure was

　　almost instantaneous. Spontaneous smiles were relatively easy to capture by the 1890s, so we must

　　look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile.

　　One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy grin. “Nature gave us

　　lips to conceal our teeth,” ran one popular Victorian maxim, alluding to the fact that before the birth

　　of proper dentistry, mouths were often in a shocking state of hygiene. A flashing set of healthy and

　　clean, regular ‘pearly whites’ was a rare sight in Victorian society, the preserve of the super-rich (and

　　even then, dental hygiene was not guaranteed).

　　A toothy grin (especially when there were gaps or blackened gnashers) lacked class: drunks,

　　tramps, and music hall performers might gurn and grin with a smile as wide as Lewis Carroll’s

　　gum-exposing Cheshire Cat, but it was not a becoming look for properly bred persons. Even Mark

　　Twain, a man who enjoyed a hearty laugh, said that when it came to photographic portraits there

　　could be “nothing more damning than a silly, foolish smile fixed forever.”

　　36. According to Paragraph 1, the author’s posts on Twitter ______.

　　A. changed people’s impression of the Victorians

　　B. highlighted social media’s role in Victorian studies

　　C. re-evaluated the Victorian’s notion of public image

　　D. illustrated the development of Victorian photography

　　37. What does the author say about the Victorian portraits he has collected?

　　A. They are in popular use among historians.

　　B. They are rare among photographs of that age.

　　C. They mirror 19th-century social conventions.

　　D. They show effects of different exposure times.

　　38. What might have kept the Victorians from smiling for pictures in the 1890s?

　　A. Their inherent social sensitiveness.

　　B. Their tension before the camera.

　　C. Their distrust of new inventions.

　　D. Their unhealthy dental condition.

　　39. Mark Twain is quoted to show that the disapproval of smiles in pictures was ______.

　　A. a deep-rooted belief

　　B. a misguided attitude

　　C. a controversial view

　　D. a thought-provoking idea

　　40. Which of the following questions does the text answer?

　　A. Why did most Victorians look stern in photographs?

　　B. Why did the Victorians start to view photographs?

　　C. What made photography develop in the Victorian period?

　　D. How did smiling in photographs become a post-Victorian norm?

　　Passage 3

　　Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.

　　(1) By the 1840s New York was the leading commercial city of the United States. It had long

　　since outpaced Philadelphia as the largest city in the country, and even though Boston continued to be

　　venerated as the cultural capital of the nation, its image had become somewhat languid; it had not

　　kept up with the implications of the newly industrialized economy, of a diversified ethnic population,

　　or of the rapidly rising middle class. New York was the place where the “new” America was coming

　　into being, so it is hardly surprising that the modem newspaper had its birth there.

　　(2) The penny paper had found its first success in New York. By the mid-1830s Ben Day’s Sun

　　was drawing readers from all walks of life. On the other hand, the Sun was a scanty sheet providing

　　little more than minor diversions; few today would call it a newspaper at all. Day himself was an

　　editor of limited vision, and he did not possess the ability or the imagination to climb the slopes to

　　loftier heights. If real newspapers were to emerge from the public’s demand for more and better

　　coverage, it would have to come from a youthful generation of editors for whom journalism was a

　　totally absorbing profession, an exacting vocational ideal rather than a mere offshoot of job printing.

　　(3) By the 1840s two giants burst into the field, editors who would revolutionize journalism,

　　would bring the newspaper into the modem age, and show how it could be influential in the national

　　life. These two giants, neither of whom has been treated kindly by history, were James Gordon

　　Bennett and Horace Greeley. Bennett founded his New York Herald in 1835, less than two years after

　　the appearance of the Sun. Horace Greeley founded his Tribune in 1841. Bennett and Greeley were

　　the most innovative editors in New York until after the Civil War. Their newspapers were the leading

　　American papers of the day, although for completely different reasons. The two men despised each

　　other, although not in the ways that newspaper editors had despised one another a few years before.

　　Neither was a political hack bonded to a political party. Greeley fancied himself a public intellectual.

　　He had strong political views, and he wanted to run for office himself, but party factotum he could

　　never be; he bristled with ideals and causes of his own devising. Officially he was a Whig (and later a

　　Republican), but he seldom gave comfort to his chosen party. Bennett, on the other hand, had long

　　since cut his political ties, and although his paper covered local and national politics fully and he went

　　after politicians with hammer and tongs, Bennett was a cynic, a distruster of all settled values. He did

　　not regard himself as an intellectual, although in fact he was better educated than Greeley. He thought

　　himself only a hard-boiled newspaperman. Greeley was interested in ideas and in what was happening

　　to the country. Bennett was only interested in his newspaper. He wanted to find out what the news

　　was, what people wanted to read. And when he found out he gave it to them.

　　(4) As different as Bennett and Greeley were from each other they were also curiously alike.

　　Both stood outside the circle of polite society, even when they became prosperous, and in Bennett’s

　　case, wealthy. Both were incurable eccentrics. Neither was a gentleman. Neither conjured up the

　　picture of a successful editor. Greeley was unkempt, always looking like an unmade bed. Even when

　　he was nationally famous in the 1850s he resembled a clerk in a third-rate brokerage house, with slips

　　of paper—marked-up proofs perhaps—hanging out of his pockets or stuck in his hat. He became fat,

　　was always nearsighted, always peering over spectacles. He spoke in a high-pitched whine. Not a few

　　people suggested that he looked exactly like the illustrations of Charles Dickens’s Mr. Pickwick.

　　Greeley provided a humorous description of himself, written under the pretense that it had been the

　　work of his long-time adversary James Fenimore Cooper. The editor was, according to the

　　description, a half-bald, long-legged, slouching individual “so rocking in gait that he walks down both

　　sides of the street at once.”

　　(5) The appearance of Bennett was somewhat different but hardly more reassuring. A shrewd,

　　wiry Scotsman, who seemed to repel intimacy, Bennett looked around at the world with a squinty

　　glare of suspicion. His eyes did not focus right. They seemed to fix themselves on nothing and

　　everything at the same time. He was as solitary as an oyster, the classic loner. He seldom made close

　　friendships and few people trusted him, although nobody who had dealings with him, however brief,

　　doubted his abilities. He, too, could have come out of a book of Dickensian eccentrics, although

　　perhaps Ebenezer Scrooge or Thomas Gradgrind comes to mind rather than the kindly old Mr.

　　Pickwick. Greeley was laughed at but admired; Bennett was seldom laughed at but never admired; on

　　the other hand, he had a hard professional competence and an encyclopedic knowledge of his adopted

　　country, an in-depth learning uncorrupted by vague idealisms. All of this perfectly suited him for the

　　journalism of this confusing age.

　　(6) Both Greeley and Bennett had served long, humiliating and disappointing apprenticeships in

　　the newspaper business. They took a long time getting to the top, the only reward for the long years of

　　waiting being that when they had their own newspapers, both knew what they wanted and firmly set

　　about getting it. When Greeley founded the Tribune in 1841 he had the strong support of the Whig

　　party and had already had a short period of modest success as an editor. Bennett, older by sixteen

　　years, found solid commercial success first, but he had no one behind him except himself when he

　　started up the Herald in 1835 in a dingy cellar room at 20 Wall Street. Fortunately this turned out to

　　be quite enough.

　　41. Which of the following is NOT the author’s opinion on Ben Day and his Sun (Para. 2)?

　　A. The Sun had once been a popular newspaper.

　　B. The Sun failed to be a high-quality newspaper.

　　C. Ben Day lacked innovation and imagination.

　　B. He started his career earlier than Bennett.

　　C. He got initial support from a political party.

　　D. He had a more humiliating apprenticeship.

　　Passage 4

　　Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

　　A bus took him to the West End, where, among the crazy coloured fountains of illumination,

　　shattering the blue dusk with green and crimson fire, he found the café of his choice, a tea-shop that

　　had gone mad and turned. Bbylonian, a while palace with ten thousand lights. It towered above the

　　other building like a citadel, which indeed it was, the outpost of a new age, perhaps a new civilization,

　　perhaps a new barbarism; and behind the thin marble front were concrete and steel, just as behind the

　　careless profusion of luxury were millions of pence, balanced to the last half penny. Somewhere in the

　　background, hidden away, behind the ten thousand lights and acres of white napery and bewildering

　　glittering rows of teapots, behind the thousand waitresses and cash-box girls and black-coated floor

　　managers and temperamental long-haired violinists, behind the mounds of cauldrons of stewed steak,

　　the vanloads of ices, were a few men who went to work juggling with fractions of a farming, who

　　knew how many units of electricity it took to finish a steak-and-kidney pudding and how many

　　minutes and seconds a waitress (five feet four in height and in average health) would need to carry a

　　tray of given weight from the kitchen life to the table in the far corner. In short, there was a warm,

　　sensuous, vulgar life flowering in the upper storeys, and a cold science working in the basement. Such

　　as the gigantic tea-shop into which Turgis marched, in search not of mere refreshment but of all the

　　enchantment of unfamiliar luxury. Perhaps he knew in his heart that men have conquered half the

　　known world, looted whole kingdoms, and never arrived in such luxury. The place was built for him.

　　It was built for a great many other people too, and, as usual, they were all there. It seemed with

　　humanity. The marble entrance hall, piled dizzily with bonbons and cakes, was as crowded and

　　bustling as a railway station. The gloom and grime of the streets, the raw air, all November, were at

　　once left behind, forgotten: the atmosphere inside was golden, tropical, belonging to some high

　　mid-summer of confectionery. Disdaining the lifts, Turgis, once more excited by the sight, sound, and

　　考试科目： 翻译硕士英语 共 12 页，第 10 页

　　smell of it all, climbed the wide staircase until he reached his favourite floor, where an orchestra, led

　　by a young Jewish violinist with wandering lustrous eyes and a passion for tremolo effects, acted as a

　　magnet to a thousand girls, scented air, the sensuous clamour of the strings; and, as he stood hesitating

　　a moment, half dazed, there came, bowing, a sleek grave man, older than he was and far more

　　distinguished than he could ever hope to be, who murmured deferentially: “ For one, sir? This way,

　　please,” Shyly, yet proudly, Turgis followed him.

　　46. That “behind the thin marble front were concrete and steel” suggests that ______.

　　A. modern realistic commercialism existed behind the luxurious appearance

　　B. there was a fundamental falseness in the style and the appeal of the café

　　C. the architect had made a sensible blend of old and new building materials

　　D. the café was based on physical foundations and real economic strength

　　47. In its context the statement that “ the place was built for him” means that the café was intended

　　to ______.

　　A. please simple people in a simple way

　　B. exploit gullible people like him

　　C. satisfy a demand that already existed

　　D. provide relaxation for tired young men

　　48. Which of the following statements about the second paragraph is NOT true?

　　A. The café appealed to most senses simultaneously.

　　B. The café was both full of people and full of warmth.

　　C. The inside of the café was contrasted with the weather outside.

　　D. It stressed the commercial determination of the café owners.

　　49. The following are comparisons made by the author in the second paragraph EXCEPT ______.

　　A. the entrance hall is compared to a railway station

　　B. the orchestra is compared to a magnet

　　C. Turgis welcomed the lift like a conquering soldier

　　D. the interior of the café is compared to warm countries

　　50. The author’s attitude to the café is ______.

　　A. fundamentally critical B. slightly admiring

　　C. quite undecided D. completely neutral

　　Section B Short-Answer Questions (10%)

　　Passage 5

　　Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

　　Speaking two languages rather than just one has obvious practical benefits in an increasingly

　　globalized world. But in recent years, scientists have begun to show that the advantages of

　　bilingualism are even more fundamental than being able to converse with a wider range of people.

　　Being bilingual, it turns out, makes you smarter. It can have a profound effect on your brain,

　　improving cognitive skills not related to language and even shielding against dementia in old age.

　　This view of bilingualism is remarkably different from the understanding of bilingualism

　　through much of the 20th century. Researchers, educators and policy makers long considered a

　　second language to be an interference, cognitively speaking, that hindered a child’s academic and

　　intellectual development.

　　They were not wrong about the interference: there is ample evidence that in a bilingual’s brain

　　both language systems are active even when he is using only one language, thus creating situations in

　　which one system obstructs the other. But this interference, researchers are finding out, isn’t so much

　　a handicap as a blessing in disguise. It forces the brain to resolve internal conflict, giving the mind a

　　workout that strengthens its cognitive muscles.

　　The collective evidence from a number of such studies suggests that the bilingual experience

　　improves the brain’s so-called executive function—a command system that directs the attention

　　processes that we use for planning, solving problems and performing various other mentally

　　demanding tasks. These processes include ignoring distractions to stay focused, switching attention

　　willfully from one thing to another and holding information in mind—like remembering a sequence

　　of directions while driving.

　　Why does the tussle between two simultaneously active language systems improve these aspects

　　of cognition? Until recently, researchers thought the bilingual advantage stemmed primarily from an

　　ability for inhibition that was honed by the exercise of suppressing one language system: this

　　suppression, it was thought, would help train the bilingual mind to ignore distractions in other

　　contexts. But that explanation increasingly appears to be inadequate, since studies have shown that

　　bilinguals perform better than monolinguals even at tasks that do not require inhibition, like threading

　　a line through an ascending series of numbers scattered randomly on a page.

　　The key difference between bilinguals and monolinguals may be more basic: a heightened ability

　　to monitor the environment. “Bilinguals have to switch languages quite often—you may talk to your

　　father in one language and to your mother in another language,” says Albert Costa, a researcher at the

　　University of Pompeu Fabra in Spain. “It requires keeping track of changes around you in the same

　　way that we monitor our surroundings when driving.” In a study comparing German-Italian bilinguals

　　with Italian monolinguals on monitoring tasks, Mr. Costa and his colleagues found that the bilingual

　　subjects not only performed better, but they also did so with less activity in parts of the brain involved

　　in monitoring, indicating that they were more efficient at it.

　　The bilingual experience appears to influence the brain from infancy to old age (and there is

　　reason to believe that it may also apply to those who learn a second language later in life).

　　51. What is the main difference between the more recent and old views of bilingualism?

　　52. How do you understand “a blessing in disguise” in Paragraph 2?

　　53. Why does the bilingual experience help to improve the brain’s so-called executive function?

　　54. Why do bilinguals have better performance in doing non-inhibition tasks?

　　55. What is the main theme of the passage?
