Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: In this section there are four passages followed by a total of 15 multiple-choice questions. Read the passages carefully and then write your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Passage One You may not have thought of it just this way, but the letter you write is part of you, and expression of your personality. Therefore to write letters that are mere patterns of form is to present a colorless personality. Letters, by their very nature, are too individual to be standardized. A letter may be absolutely perfect according to the standards of good taste and good form; but unless it also expresses something of the writer’s personality, it is not a good letter. In other words, don't be satisfied to write letters that are just correct and nothing more. Try to write letters that are correct for you... letters that are warm and alive with reflections of your own personality. And if this sounds like a platitude (陈词滥调), stop for a moment and think back over your recent correspondence. What was the most interesting letter you received? Was it a letter anyone could have written? Or was it a letter that instantly “came alive”as you read it—that brought the personality of the sender right into the room with you.

《高级英语》试题册模拟试卷第一部分译文及答案讲解
单元综合测试一 （L10）（上）P142 Some men drew the first slip which touched their fingers; others seemed to suspect that fate was trying to force on them a particular slip and when they bad drawn one a little way from the shoe would let it drop again and choose another. Time passed with incredible slowness, and the man called Voisin sat against the wall with the unlighted cigarette in his mouth paying them no attention at all. 有些人抽自己手指头碰到的第一个纸了。另一些人似乎怀疑是命运在试图强迫他们抽某一特定的纸条，因此当他们刚把一个纸条从鞋里抽出一点，又扔回去，再选另一张。时间过得令人难以置信地缓慢。叫瓦赞的那个人背靠着墙坐着，嘴上叼着未点燃的烟，丝毫没注意他人。 （L11）（上）P159 I imagined the picture on the wall without difficulty, and gave it a few deft touches, but this set me thinking of pictures in general, and then I remembered an art exhibition I had attended with my friend T. and what he said, and what I said, and I wondered how T. was faring these days, and whether his son was still at school. And so it went on, until I found myself meditating on cheese, or spiritualism, or the Rocky Mountains—but no sleep! 我想象挂在墙上的画倒是没有问题，然后我熟练地去扶正它。这会使我想到通常见到的画，然后我想起一个艺术展，那是和我的朋友T一起去的。我记得他说过什么话，然后我又说了什么话，然后我开始想T这一段时间会怎么样了，他的儿子是否还在念书。就这样继续下去，直到我不知不觉地想到奶酪或是唯灵论，或者落基山脉——就是睡不着！ （L6）（上）P76 When she saw that I didn’t like her reference to “people like you”, she stopped for a moment and then put he r hand on my arm. “Listen,” she said, “Magpie is happy new, finally. He is in good spirits, handsome and free and strong. He sits at the drum and sings with his brothers: he’s okay now. When he was saying all those things against the government and against the council, he became more and more ugly and embittered and I used to be afraid for him. But I’m not now. Please, why don’t you just leave it alone now?” 当她发现我不喜欢她提到“像你这样的人”时，她停了一下，然后把手放到我的胳膊上，说：“听我说，现在喜鹊终于高兴起来了。他情绪很好，很英俊、很自由、也很健壮。他和兄弟们一起坐在皮鼓前唱歌，他现在很正常。他总是说那些反对政府．反对印第安人事务委员会的话，说那些话时他就变得越来越可怕，越来越恼怒。我过去常因此而为他担忧，可是我现在不那样了。哦，我们还是顺其自然吧。” （L9）（上）P 124 The viewer is on a perpetual guided tour: 30 t the museum, 30 at the cathedral, 30 for a drink, then back on the bus to the next attraction—-except on television., typically, the spans allotted arc on the order of minutes or seconds, and the chosen delights are more often car crashes and people killing one another. In short, a lot of television usurps one of the most precious of all human gifts, the ability to focus your attention yourself, rather than just passively surrender it. 观众被领着进行无限期的游览：30分钟看博物馆，30分钟看大教堂，30分钟喝饮料，然后又回到车上，到下一个参观点。但是电视的时间是按分秒来计算的，而且所选的欣赏内
