CummingsPS:（试卷上没有出现方括号之内的内容,都以省略号形式代替）附上网上对此诗的评论:Pity this busy monster,manunkind” is a poem that emphasizes Cummingss belief in nature and his opposition to those thingsscience, technology, and intellectual arrogancethat he believed attack the purity of nature. In the opening lines, Cummings makes it clear that man is un-kindas opposed to being “mankind”when he or she engages in “progress.” In this case, “Progress is a comfortable disease, one which uses electrons and lenses to “deify one razorblade/ into a mountainrange;lenses extend/ unwish through curving wherewhen till unwish/ returns on its unself.” For Cummings, progress contrasts with nature, as he suggests when he writes, “A world of made/ is not a world of born.”The speaker in this poem, as revealed in the last line, represents progress but suggests the promise of nature; “We doctors,” he or she says, “know a hopeless case.” Hopelessness is the human-made cycle of progress, scientific progress. There is a way out, however, as the speaker points out in the concluding lines of the poem: “listen:theres a hell/ of a good universe next door;lets go.” Unlike this universe, composed of negative Cummings-created words such as “unwish” and “unself,” the next-door universe consists of wishes and selvesthat is, real emotions and real individuals. Those realities, for Cummings, are the true realities.希望对大家有用。P.S: 语言学,一定要重视戴炜栋 何兆熊编的那本书(上海外语教育出版社)的练习题目.4 教学法Swain and Canales communicative competence Two views of language and language learning - empiricism & mentalism, your standand example Krashens input theory Three elements of individual difference Name two teaching approaches, the theory underneath it, and explain the role of teacher and the role of learner respectively Name a few features (at least 4) of good language learners 5 英美文学A Modernism; Stream of consciousness; Metaphysical poets; Blank verse（6中选3）B Sentence elaboration C poems： Ice and Fire 6 英美国家文化（暂无）7 跨文化交际1 你对intercultural communication中的inter-或cross-是怎么理解的 ？2 请定义交际这个词。解释为什么学习文化要在交际语境的基础上。3 Edward T Hall的主要贡献是什么？你觉得他对以后的跨文化研究有何影响？4 举出一个你认为有影响力的跨文化交际学者，并说明原因。5 评价中国在跨文化交际领域研究的发展状况，以及你认为应该值得改进的地方。第二部分 口试题口试分为：谚语和专业问题谚语考查形式：给一则谚语考生准备6分钟左右然后进行演讲（整个过程面试老师不会给任何意见）2011年谚语：We have no more right to consume happiness without producing it than to consume wealth without producing it.Youth is a blunder, adulthood struggle, old age regret.The things what we want but cannot get in life is an indispensable part of our happiness.专业问题：1 笔译：Poetry is what is lost in translation.
