(Except From Emerson, Nature)
The high and divine beauty which can be loved without effeminacy, is that which is found in combination with the human will.Beauty is the mark God sets upon virtue.Every natural action is graceful.Every heroic act is also decent, and causes the place and the bystanders to shine.We are taught by great actions that the universe is the property of every individual in it.Every rational creature has all nature for his dowry and estate.It is his, if he will.He may divest himself of it;he may creep into a corner, and abdicate his kingdom, as most men do, but he is entitled to the world by his constitution.In proportion to the energy of his thought and will, he takes up the world into himself.“All those things for which men plough, build, or sail, obey virtue;” said Sallust.“The winds and waves,” said Gibbon, “are always on the side of the ablest navigators.” So are the sun and moon and all the stars of heaven.When a noble act is done,--perchance in a scene of great natural beauty;when Leonidas and his three hundred martyrs consume one day in dying, and the sun and moon come each and look at them once in the steep defile of Thermopylae;when Arnold Winkelried, in the high Alps, under the shadow of the avalanche, gathers in his side a sheaf of Austrian spears to break the line for his comrades;are not these heroes entitled to add the beauty of the scene to the beauty of the deed? When the bark of Columbus nears the shore of America;--before it, the beach lined with savages, fleeing out of all their huts of cane;the sea behind;and the purple mountains of the Indian Archipelago around, can we separate the man from the living picture? Does not the New World clothe his form with her palm-groves and savannahs as fit drapery? Ever does natural beauty steal in like air, and envelope great actions.II.Chinese-English Translation
From 王蒙 《高原的風》(試題中間略有刪節)
說這個話的是老宋的至交,身高一米九的老趙。老趙的父親曾在北洋軍閥時期大富大貴,老趙無所不好,無所不能,琴、棋、書、畫、攝影、京戲、大鼓、變戲法、拿大頂、抹灰、砌灶……但又無一稱精。近年來他的日子也有不少改善,但改不了他那副不梳頭、不系領鉤、不刮臉的落魄行藏,而且一張口說話常帶三分晦氣。
真的?長眠=安息。而生活,就是奮斗,就是咬緊牙關,就是承受一個又一個打擊。年輕時候他看過電影《墨西哥人》,墨西哥人一聲不吭地承受著雨點般落向他的頭部面部胸部的拳擊??钙鹇榇咴陬澯朴频奶迳险嬗X得再多一根稻草就能把脊椎壓斷。在四下透風的教室里給坐在土坯凳子上的孩子講人生的真諦在于使別人生活得好。給兒子烤一塊紅瓤白薯。在煤油燈底下一邊看書一邊揉著眼睛里的水分。越窮還越要留下點積蓄,他又存了一百元定期。生是一種韌性啊。
如今,每天早晨在嘩嘩作響的喧鬧的水聲里洗透拖把,把洋灰地擦得像打上了蠟,新鮮的水門汀散發出一股堿腥卻喜人的氣息。陽光透過大幅針織編花白色窗簾照在綠色的水仙葉上。墻上掛著絲織的徐悲鴻的群馬。音箱里時而傳出獲奧斯卡金像獎影片《愛情故事》的主題曲,大提琴的低音威嚴而又和暖??腿藖砹俗陔p墊沙發上吸紅雙喜香煙,喝一塊七一兩的茶。客人走了把高雅的沙發中一一整理。似乎是飛機失事后幸存者的歸家。好像是馬拉松賽后運動員泡在熱水浴缸里,他如釋重負,閉上眼睛,長長地吐一口濁氣。

best nay-blue top coat with the red tartan hood,twirled a scarf around my neck,pulled on my bobble-hat and mittens
it was so bitterly cold
said now you won't freeze to death
gave me a little kiss and a pretend slap on the bottom
and sent me off across the playground
to the place I'd learn to forget to say
it wis January
and a gey driech day
the first day Ah went to the school
so my Mum happed me up in ma
good navy-blue napp coat wi the rid tartan hood,birled a scarf aroon ma neck,pu'ed oan ma pixie and' ma pawkies
it wis that bitter.Oh saying it was one thing
But when it came to writing it
In black and white
The way it had to be said
Was as if you were posh, grown-up, male, English and dead.2)a story from Guy de Maupassant,not familiar
Main Plot:
Monsieur Daron, an eighty-six-year-old-man, comes to live at the new spa in Rondelis.He believes himself to be in excellent health, as a result of “careful living.” He has always had “an obsessive fear of death,” and he avoids all pleasure because it may be dangerous.In order to measure and monitor his own condition, M.Daron arranges for the doctor in charge of the springs to visit him once a week with information on the health of everyone else in the surrounding area who is over the age of eighty.When he hears that someone has died, he quickly identifies a cause that might have been avoided;the man who died of pleurisy should not have gone out in the cold, and the one who died of dysentery must have eaten the wrong food.Eventually, though, one old man dies for no apparent reason.The doctor can report no lesion, no disease: “He died because he died, that's all.” M.Daron is horrified and asks the man's age.Eighty-nine.He laughs in relief, saying, “whatever it was, it wasn't old age....”

Comment on Shakespeare’s “Sonnet 18”
According the history records,the English Renaissance was a cultural and artistic movement in England dating from the late 15th and early 16th centuries to the early 17th century.During this special period, lots of literature forms grew prosperous.Sonnet was a kind of short lyrics which origined from Italy.During the early period of English Renaissance, it became famous all through the Europe.William Shakespeare, as the most great playwright and poet in England, showed lots of interests on it.As a result, his collection of sonnets were born.Besides, they aroused a big repercussion of the public, sonnet 18 as a typical example.As we all know, Shakespeare`s sonnet is well-constructed.It is divided into two parts, one part concluding twelve lines, the other two.From sonnet 18, we can clearly identify that there are 10 syllables in every line.From the whole poem, it`s easy for us to find its rhyme is “abab, cdcd, efef, gg”.Such regular rhyme makes the whole sonnet 18 easy to read and possessed the sense of rhythm.Because of the thyme, the whole atmosphere is cheerful and lighted-hearted.We reader can easily find the poet is good at analogy.Firstly, Shakespeare described his friend as summer`s day on the purpose of making the comparison between the person and the nature.Secondly, the poet compared his friend as the buds of May.But the poet wrote immediately in the following line that “Summer`s lease hath all too short a date”.This sentence formed anther comparison.Thirdly, Shakespeare used the sun to show his friend.It`s obviously that Shakespeare regard his friend as summer`s day, May, the bud and the sun.The poet uses all these positive ,beautiful things to show his fondness of his friend.However, Shakespeare holds the opinion that his friend is more lovely and more t temperate.All these analogies makes the readers understand poet`s goal vividly.Prising is evidently viewed between the lines.No matter how wonderful the things are the poet doesn`t think they can compare with his friend.From generations to generations, as a result, his friend can be engraved on people`s mind.Shakespeare`s purpose of writing sonnet 18 can be seen in the last line.Sonnet 18 as the most successful example of the sonnet creation, it has much value for us to study deeply.It can be used as the material of studying the development of Renaissance.What`s more, we can see more from the sonnet 18 about the style of the works in the late 15th and early 16th centuries to the early 17th century.
