He began to _______ as the intense cold pervaded the room.A. shakeB. quakeC. jerkD. shiverRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items III, IV, V.(1) “During the whole of a dull, dark and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through asingularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher.” Thus Edgar Allan P oe opened his story of “The Fall of the House of Usher” in 1839. In this beautifully crafted sentence he captured so much that is essential to the horror story—darkness, ominous solitude, foreboding calm, apprehension and uncertainty, and a deep feeling of melancholy that could soon turn to fear.(2) Many kinds of fiction are self-explanatory: mysteries, westerns, love stories, spy thrillers, and science fiction define themselves by the terms used to name them. The horror story is less easily defined, perhaps because other types of fiction so often use the trappings of terror to enhance their plots. Charles Dickens used the vehicle of an old-fashioned ghost Story to tell “A Christmas Carol”, but that book is not a horror story. Nor does a Grimm brothers fair y tale such as “Hänsel and Gretel,” with its child-devouring witch, belong to the genre.(3) The nature of the horror story is best indicated by the title of the 1990s television series Tales from the Dark Side. Human beings have always acknowledged that there is evil in the world and a dark side to human nature that cannot be explained except perhaps in religious terms. This evil may be imagined as having an almost unlimited power to inspire anxiety, fear, dread, and terror in addition to doing actual physical and mental harm.(4) In the tale of horror quite ordinary people are confronted by something unknown and fearful, which can be neither understood nor explained in reasonable terms. It is the emphasis on the unreasonable that lies at the heart of horror stories.(5) This kind of literature arose in the 18th century at the start of a movement called Romanticism. The movement was a reaction against a rational, ordered world in which humanity was basically good and everything could be explained scientifically. The literary type that inspired the horror story is Gothic fiction, tales of evil, often set in sinister medieval surroundings. This original kind of horror fiction has persisted to the present. An early 20th-century master of the type was H.P. Lovecraft, most of whose stories appeared in the magazine Weird Tales. A more recent writer was Stephen King, author of Carrie(1974), The Shining(1977), Pet Sematary (1984), Misery (1987), and Rose Madder (1995).(6) Much horror literature is grounded in superstition, fear of demons, and the dread of death. No single tale brings all of these elements together so well as the vampire legend, an ancient folk superstition. The vampire is described as undead, an entombed individual who rises each night to feed on the blood of the living. In literature its best representation is Dracula(1897) by Bram Stoker. The legend was retold in Interview with the V ampire (1976) by Anne Rice. The Dracula story was eagerly taken up by Hollywood in the 1931 film that starred Bela Lugosi, and numerous movies on the theme have been made since.(7) Similar to the vampire legend is the story of the wolfman, the human being under a curse who turns into a half man, half wolf presumably when the moon is full. This creature prowls around, devouring animals, people, or corpses, but he returns to human form by day. As with Dracula, the wolfman became a popular subject for movies, beginning with The Werewolf of London (1935) and the wolfman films of the 1940s. According to one superstition the werewolf, after being killed, turns into a vampire.(8) The belief that the dead can return to haunt and harm the living has long been an element of fiction. Ghost stories are at least as old as the Bible: in the Old Testament, King Saul calls up the ghost of Samuel to foretell the outcome of a battle. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, the ghost of the slain king provides the information from which Hamlet plots revenge for his father’s murder. Oneof the masters of the modern ghost story was Ambrose Bierce, some of whose stories were collected in Ghost and Horror Stories of Ambrose Bierce (1964). A variation on the ghost theme is the haunted house, about which hundreds of stories have been written.(9) Between the vampires and the ghosts are creatures called the living dead and zombies who return from the grave to devour the living. Hollywood celebrated this story in Night of the Living Dead (1968) and other films. In literature one of the best examples is the intriguing book The Beast with Five Fingers (1928; film version 1946) by W.F. Harvey. It is the story of a severed hand that goes on living after its owner dies. The movie Friday the 13th (1980) and its sequels also used the revived corpse as villain. In the 1986 film Trick or Treat, a dead rock music star is called back to life.III.In this section, there are ten incomplete statements or questions, followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D.

An eccentric citizen of communist Hungary, he had written a book cal led “Bring up Genius!” and one of his favorite sayings was “Geniuses are made, not born”.(2) An expert on the theory of chess, he proceeded to teach little Zsuzsa at home, spending up toten hours a day on the game. Two more daughters were similarly hot-housed. All three obliged their father by becoming world-class players. The youngest, Judit, is currently ranked 13th in the world, and is by far the best female chess player of all time.(3) Would the experiment have succeeded with a different trio of children? If any child can beturned into a star, then a lot of time and money are being wasted worldwide on trying to pick winners.(4) America has long held “talent searches”, using test results and teacher recommendations toselect children for advanced school courses, summer schools and other extra tuition. This provision is set to grow. In his state-of-the-union address in 2006, President George Bush announced the “American Competitiveness Initiative”, which, among much else, would train 70,000 high-school teachers to lead advanced courses for selected pupils in mathematics and science. Just as the super powers’ space race made Congress put money into science education, the thought of China and India turning out hundreds of thousands of engineers and scientists is scaring America into stimulating its brightest to do their best.(5) The philosophy behind this talent search is that ability is innate; that it can be diagnosed withconsiderable accuracy; and that it is worth cultivating.(6) In America, bri ght children are ranked as “moderately”, “highly”, “exceptionally” and“profoundly” gifted. The only chance to influence innate ability is thought to be in the womb or the first couple of years of life. Hence the craze for “teaching aids” such as videos an d flashcards for newborns, and “whale sounds” on tape which a pregnant mother can strap to her belly.(7) In Britain, there is a broadly similar belief in the existence of innate talent, but also anegalitarian (平等主义的) sentiment which makes people queasy about the idea of investing resources in grooming intelligence.(8) Teachers are often opposed to separate provision for the best-performing children, saying anyextra help should go to stragglers. In 2002, in a bid to help the able while leaving intact the ban on most selection by ability in state schools, the government set up the National Academyfor Gifted and Talented Youth. This outfit runs summer schools and master classes for children nominated by their schools. To date, though, only seven in ten secondary schools have nominated even a single child. Last year all schools were told they must supply the names of their top 10%.(9) Picking winners is also the order of the day in excommunist states, a hangover from the timeswhen talented individuals were plucked from their homes and ruthlessly trained for the glory of the nation. But in many other countries, opposition to the idea of singling out talent and grooming it runs deep. In Scandinavia, a belief in virtues like modesty and social solidarity makes people flinch from the idea of treating brainy children differently.(10) And in Japan there is a widespread belief that all children are born with the same innateabilities - and should therefore be treated alike. All are taught together, covering the same syllabus at the same rate until they finish compulsory schooling. Those who learn quickest are expected then to teach their classmates.(11) Statistics give little clue as to which system is best. The performance of the most able isheavily affected by factors other than state provision. Most state education in Britain is nominally non-selective, but middle-class parents try to live near the best schools. Ambitious Japanese parents have made private, out-of-school tuition a thriving business. And Scandinavia’s egalitarianism might work less well in places with more diverse populations and less competent teachers. For what it’s worth, the statistical data suggest that some countries, like Japan and Finland, can avoid selection and still thrive. But that does not mean that any country can ditch selection and do as well.(12) Mr. Polgar thought any child could be a prodigy given the right teaching, an early start andenough practice. Some say the key to success is simply hard graft. Judit, the youngest of the Polgar sisters, was the most driven, and the most successful; Zsofia, the middle one, was regarded as the most talented, but she was the only one who did not achieve the status of grand master. “Everything came easiest to her,” said her older sister. “But she was lazy.”IV.

Lesson 1 摇滚歌星1972年6月的一天，芝加哥圆形剧场挤满了大汗淋漓、疯狂摇摆的人们。

滚石摇滚乐队的迈克•贾格尔正在台上演唱“午夜漫步人”。

演唱结束时评论家唐•赫克曼在现场。

他描述道：“贾格尔抓起一个半加仑的水罐沿舞台前沿边跑边把里面的水洒向前几排汗流浃背的听众。

听众们蜂拥般跟随着他跑，急切地希望能沾上几滴洗礼的圣水。

1973年12月下旬的一天，约1.4万名歌迷在华盛顿市外的首都中心剧场尖叫着，乱哄哄地拥向台前。

美国的恐怖歌星艾利丝•库珀的表演正接近尾声。

他表演的最后一幕是假装在断头台上结束自己的生命。

他的“头”落入一个草篮中。

“哎呀！”一个黑衣女孩子惊呼道：“啊!真是了不起，不是吗？”。

当时，14岁的迈克珀力也在场，但他的父母不在那里。

“他们觉得他恶心，恶心，恶心，”迈克说，“他们对我说，你怎么受得了那些？”1974年1月下旬的一天，在纽约州尤宁谷城拿骚体育场内，鲍勃•狄伦和“乐队”乐队正在为音乐会上要用的乐器调音。

馆外，摇滚歌迷克利斯•辛格在大雨中等待着入场。

“这是朝圣，”克利斯说，“我应该跪着爬进去。

”对于这一切好评及个人崇拜，你怎么看？当米克•贾格尔的崇拜者们把他视为上帝的最高代表或是一个神时，你是赞成还是反对？你也和克利斯•辛格一样对鲍勃•狄伦怀有几乎是宗教般的崇敬吗？你认为他或狄伦是步入歧途吗？你也认为艾利丝•库珀令人恶心而拒不接受吗？难道你会莫名其妙地被这个奇怪的小丑吸引，原因就在于他表达出你最狂热的幻想？这些并不是闲谈。

有些社会学家认为对这些问题的回答可以充分说明你在想些什么以及社会在想些什么——也就是说，有关你和社会的态度。

社会学家欧文•霍洛威茨说：“音乐表现其时代。

” 霍洛威茨把摇滚乐的舞台视为某种辩论的论坛，一个各种思想交锋的场所。

他把它看作是一个美国社会努力为自己的感情及信仰不断重新进行解释的地方。

他说：“重新解释是一项只有青年人才能执行的任务。

只有他们才把创造与夸张、理性与运动、言语与声音、音乐与政治融为一体。

He dreamed, in the American way, of becoming a millionaire. He tried his luck on Wall Street. He was diligent and shrewd and, when he had to be, devious. He put together the deal and he did some things with an electronics acquisition that wouldn‘t bear explaining. He succeeded even beyond his dream: he made twelve million dollars.2) At first the young man assumed that e verything was working out splendidly. ―Isn‘t it grand?‖ he said to his wife, once it was apparent that he had made twelve million dollars. His wife told him that it wasn‘t grand, and he was a nobody.3) ―But that‘s impossible,‖ the young man said. ―I‘m a r ich person. We live in an era that celebrates rich people. Rich people are shown in the newspapers in the company of movie stars and famous novelists and distinguished dress designers. The names of the richest corporate raiders are known to every schoolboy. There are rich real estate sharks whose faces appear on the covers of glossy magazines.‖ But his wife said that his face would not, because he was a nobody. When he stressed the fact that he had twelve million dollars, his wife retorted that a lot of people did, but they were still nobodies. 4) ―I could buy our way onto the committees of important charity balls,‖ the young man said, ―then we‘d be mentioned in the columns.‖ ―Don‘t kid yourself,‖ his wife said. ―The important committees are already filled u p with people who are really rich. People like us would end up working on something like a dinner-dance to benefit the American Psoriasis (牛皮癣) Foundation.‖ The young man mentioned that he owned a co-op apartment on Fifth Avenue that was worth two million dollars. His wife argued that, to a certain extent, two million-dollar co-ops were a dime a dozen. Then the young man boasted of owning a stretch limousine and said it was twenty-one and a half feet long.His wife brushed the idea aside, saying that nobody famous had ever ridden in something like that ,and neither Henry Kissinger nor Calvin Klein had ever heard of him, so he was still a nobody.5) The young man was silent for a while. ―Are you disappointed in me?‖ he finally said to his wife. ―Of course I‘m disappointed in you,‖ she said. ―When you asked me to marry you , you said you would surely amount to something. How was I to know that yo u‘d turn out to be a nobody?‖6) For a moment the young man looked defeated. Then he squared his shoulders and cleared his throat. ―I‘ll make them pay attention, ‖ he said. ―I‘ll buy a professional football team and argue a lot with the coach in public. Celebrities will join me to watch big games from the owner‘s box.‖ The wife ridiculed him, saying that nobody could buy a professional football team for twelve million dollars, because professional football teams cost big bucks.7) ―Then I‘ll buy a magazine and appoint myself chief columnist,‖ the young man said. ―A tiny but exceedingly flattering picture of me will run next to my column every week. The owners of professional football teams will invite me to watch big games from the owner‘s box.‖ The wife bel ieved that he might be able to buy one of those weekly-shoppers throwaways for twelve million dollars, but not a real magazine. One couldn‘t buy a real magazine for chicken feed.8) The young man was very much hurt and asked his wife whether twelve million dollars were chicken feed. But his wife insisted, ―it‘s not big bucks.‖9) ―But that‘s not fair,‖ the young man said. ―I‘m a young man of humble origins who made twelve million dollars. I succeeded even beyond my dream. ‖ ―Some of those things you did wi th the electronics acquisition probably weren‘t fair either,‖ his wife said. ―Fair isn‘t being measured these days. What they measure is money.‖ Then the young man said, if that was the case, he would get more money by going back to Wall Street and making fifty million dollars.10) But before the young man could make fifty million dollars a man from the Securities and Exchange Commission came and arrested him for having committed insider-trading violations in the electronics acquisition.11) The young man was taken away from his office in handcuffs. A picture on the front page of the afternoon paper showed him leaving his arraignment trying to hide his face behind an $850 Italian overcoat. A long article in the morning paper used him as an example of a new breed of Wall Street traders who were the victims of their own greed, probably because of their humble origins. His friends and associates avoided him. 12) Only his wife stuck by him. She tried to see the bright side. ―For someone with only twelve million d ollars,‖ she said to the young man, ―you‘re getting to be pretty well known.‖Ⅳ.

How was I to know that yo u‘d turn out to be a nobody?‖6) For a moment the young man looked defeated. Then he squared his shoulders and cleared his throat. ―I‘ll make them pay attention, ‖ he said. ―I‘ll buy a professional football team and argue a lot with the coach in public. Celebrities will join me to watch big games from the owner‘s box.‖ The wife ridiculed him, saying that nobody could buy a professional football team for twelve million dollars, because professional football teams cost big bucks.7) ―Then I‘ll buy a magazine and appoint myself chief columnist,‖ the young man said. ―A tiny but exceedingly flattering picture of me will run next to my column every week. The owners of professional football teams will invite me to watch big games from the owner‘s box.‖ The wife bel ieved that he might be able to buy one of those weekly-shoppers throwaways for twelve million dollars, but not a real magazine. One couldn‘t buy a real magazine for chicken feed.8) The young man was very much hurt and asked his wife whether twelve million dollars were chicken feed. But his wife insisted, ―it‘s not big bucks.‖9) ―But that‘s not fair,‖ the young man said. ―I‘m a young man of humble origins who made twelve million dollars. I succeeded even beyond my dream. ‖ ―Some of those things you did wi th the electronics acquisition probably weren‘t fair either,‖ his wife said. ―Fair isn‘t being measured these days. What they measure is money.‖ Then the young man said, if that was the case, he would get more money by going back to Wall Street and making fifty million dollars.10) But before the young man could make fifty million dollars a man from the Securities and Exchange Commission came and arrested him for having committed insider-trading violations in the electronics acquisition.11) The young man was taken away from his office in handcuffs. A picture on the front page of the afternoon paper showed him leaving his arraignment trying to hide his face behind an $850 Italian overcoat. A long article in the morning paper used him as an example of a new breed of Wall Street traders who were the victims of their own greed, probably because of their humble origins. His friends and associates avoided him. 12) Only his wife stuck by him. She tried to see the bright side. ―For someone with only twelve million d ollars,‖ she said to the young man, ―you‘re getting to be pretty well known.‖Ⅳ.

I say "I am told" because the isolation, or loneliness of my own house is only borne in on me, from time to time, by the exclamations of travelers when they arrive. "Well," they exclaim with a hint of denunciation, "you are a long way from everywhere!" I suppose I see this the other way round: everywhere seems to have placed itself a long way from me if "everywhere" means shopping towns, railway stations or Ireland's principal through roads. But one's own point of departure always seems to one normal. I have grown up accustomed to seeing out of my windows nothing but grass, sky, tree, to being enclosed in a ring of almost complete silence and to making joumeys for anything that I want. Actually, a main road passes my gates (though it is a main road not much travelled); my post village, which is fairy animated, is just a mile up the hill, and daily bus, now, connects this village with Cork. The motor car demolishes distances, and the telephone and wireless keep the house knit up, perhaps too much with the world. The loneliness of my house, as of many others, is more an effect than a reality. But it is the effect that is interesting.(2) When I visit other big houses I am struck by some quality that they all have not so much isolation as mystery. Each house seems to live under its own spell, and that is the spell that falls on the visitor from the moment he passes in at the gates. The ring of woods inside the territory wall conceals, at first, the whole territory from the eye: this looks, from the road, like the woods in sleep, with a great glade inside. Inside the gates the avenue often describes loops, to make itself of still more extravagant length; it is sometimes arched by beeches, sometimes silent with moss. On eachside lie those tree-studded grass spaces we Anglo-Irish call lawns and English people puzzle us by speaking of as "the park." On these browse cattle, or there may be horses out on grass. A second gate--(generally white-painted, so that one may not drive into it in the dark) keeps these away from the house in its inner circle of trees. Having shut this clanking white gate behind one, one takes the last reach of avenue and meets the faded, dark-windowed and somehow hypnotic stare of the big house. Often a line of mountains rises above it, or a river is seen through a break in woods. But the house, in its silence, seems to be contemplating the swell or fall of its own lawns.(3) The paradox of these big houses is that often they are not big at all.Those massive detached villas outside cities probably have a greater number of rooms. We have of course in Ireland the great houses houses Renaissance Italy hardly rivals, houses with superb facades, colonnades, pavilions and, inside, chains of plastered, painted saloons, but the houses, that I know best and write of, would be only called "big" in Ireland in England they would be "country houses," no more. They are of adequate size for a family,its dependants, a modest number of guests. They gave few annexes, they do not ramble; they are nearly always compactly square. Much of the space inside (and there is not so much space) has been sacrificed to airy halls and lobbies and to the elegant structure of staircases. Their facades (very often in the Italian manner) are not lengthy, though they may be high. Is it height —in this country of otherwise low building that got these Anglo-Irish houses their "big" name? Or have they been called "big" with a slight inflection—that of hostility, irony? One may call a man "big" with just that inflection because he seems to think the hell of himself.(4) These houses, however, are certainly not little. Let us say that their size,like their loneliness, is an effect rather than a reality. Perhaps the wide, private spaces they occupy throw a distending reflection on to their walls. And,they were planned for spacious living for hospitality above all. Unlike the low warm, ruddy French and English manors, they have made no natural growth from the soil the idea that begot them was a purely social one.The functional parts of them kitchens and offices, farm-buildings, outbuildings were sunk underground, concealed by walls or by trees;only stables (for horses ranked very highly) emerged to view, as suavely planned as the house.II.

Some fresh fruits are highly ______ and should be kept in cool places.A. perishableB. eligibleC. permissibleD. affordableRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items II, IV, V.(1) A rift is growing between government and higher education, with debates over funding, missions and accountability.(2) In that context, it is all the more worth watching Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels, who assumes the presidency of Purdue University on January 14. Other governors have become college presidents. Some, like Tom K ean, have been very successful. However, Daniels—who brings to the job an unusual blend of leadership experiences in government at the state and national level, public policy,business, and now academe—is coming to office at a time of unusual tension.(3) Governors increasingly characterize the rising costs of higher education and its limitedaccess as unsustainable. Many find it imperative that universities increase their productivity, affordability, access, graduation rates, and accountability. In contrast, university presidents say that quality, not cost, is the real issue in an era in which excellence in higher educationis more urgent than ever before in history. The question, academic leaders say, should not bethe price of college, but who pays, criticizing government for disinvesting in higher education. Bottom line: Between the governors and the presidents, there is increasingly little if any common ground other than recognizing the importance of higher education. They have entirely differentviews of the problem, no agreement on responsibility, and nothing in the way of a shared solution. (4) In his first public action as president of Purdue, Daniels has bridged the chasm with a salary package that incorporates the goals of both the governors and the presidents. He did this intwo ways. The first was conciliatory, eliminating the red flag that sets off both governmentand the academy: He rejected presidential salary inflation. His salary package is smaller than his predecessor’s, placing him tenth among the 12 Big Ten university presidents in terms of salary. There is no deferred compensation.(5) Second, and more importantly in terms of national models, is that Governor Daniels askedfor a salary based upon achieving his goals for the university. The package is divided into twobuckets—base salary and bonus. The bonus is tied to graduation rates, affordability, studentachievement, philanthropic support, faculty excellence, and strategic program initiatives. Inestablishing this bonus system, Daniels married traditional notions of academic quality—as measured by excellence in faculty, programs and resources—with an equal emphasis on effective outcomes and price controls: graduation rates, affordability, and student achievement.(6) In so doing, Daniels has demonstrated his belief that there is common ground to be foundbetween the university and government. The choice is not quality or effectiveness, not excellenceor affordability; the future of higher education is not a zero-sum game in which one side winsand the other loses. Rather, he believes it is possible to balance the seemingly conflictinggoals of government and higher education.(7) Daniels is not the first president to have his salary tied to achieving institutional goals, but he is probably the most visible. Moreover, although Daniels is renouncing involvement inpartisan politics as he enters the Purdue presidency, he is a former Republican governor andparty leader known as a frugal fiscal conservative. Historically, the divisions have been greater between Republicans and the academy than has been the case with Democrats. In a very real sense, what Daniels has chosen to do is somewhat akin to Nixon going to China. He has undertaken anexperiment to be closely watched. If successful, he will have established a potential model forthe country.(8) Typically, presidents reserve such powerful statements for their inaugural addresses. Though such addresses are sincere in intent—I can vouch for that, as someone who has given two andlistened to many more—they are generally aspirational; they articulate hopes and dreams forwhat an institution can become. Daniels has already done something very different. He is putting himself on the line in a very public fashion. Year after year his salary will be determined byhis success. And perhaps even more importantly, his success or failure will be public when hisboard announces the size and rationale for his bonus.(9) It’s a bold step—and Governor Daniels should be applauded for taking it.II.
