Both men and women, nine times out of ten, are firmly convinced of the superior excellence of their own sex. There is abundant evidence on both sides. If you are a man, you can point out that most poets and men of science are male; if you are a woman, you can retort that so are most criminals. The question is inherently insoluble, but self-esteem conceals this from most people. We are all, whatever part of the world we come from, persuaded that our own nation is superior to all others. Seeing that each nation has its characteristic merits and demerits, we adjust our standard of values so as to make out that the merits possessed by our nation are the really important ones, while its demerits are comparatively trivial. Here, again, the rational man will admit that the question is one to which there is no demonstrably right answer. It is more difficult to deal with the self-esteem of man as man, because we cannot argue out the matter with some non-human mind. The only way I know of dealing with this general human conceit is to remind ourselves that man is a brief episode in the life of a small planet in a little corner of the universe, and that for aught we know, other parts of the cosmos may contain beings as superior to ourselves as we are to jelly-fish.对于那些容易助长你狂妄自大的观点尤宜提防。双方都有不可胜数的证据。如果你自己是男性，你可以指出大多数诗人和科学家都是男子；而如果你是女性，你可以用大多数罪犯也都是男子来反唇相讥。但是，自尊心却使大多数人看不到这一点。不管我们属于世界上哪个国家，看到每个民族都有自己特有的长处和短处，以便证明自己民族的长处乃是真正重要的长处，而其缺点相对来说则微不足道。由于我们无法和人类之外的智者辩论清楚，所以就更难就我所知，处理这个普遍存在的人类自高自大问题的唯一方法就是宇宙中其他地方还有一些生物，不论男人或女人，男人和女人们，男人和女人，十之八九都坚信男性或女性特别优越。十之八九都坚信自己性别的优越。十之八九都坚信自己的性别比对方优越。这个问题天生就无法解决；这个问题本来就无法解决；这个问题本来是无法解决的；我们总是认为自己的民族比所有其他民族都优越。大家总是认为我们自己的民族比所有其他民族都优越。大家总是被说服自己的民族比所有其他民族都优越。我们就要调整自己的价值标准，我们却调整自己的价值标准，我们就把自己的价值标准加以调整，在这个问题上，一位明白事理的人也一定会承认，它没有明显正确的答案。在这个问题上，理智的人会承认这个问题是没有可以论证的正确答案的。这里，明白事理的人一定会承认，它没有明显正确的答案。处理人的自高自大的问题，处理人之作为人的自高自大的问题，处理作为“人”的自尊问题，要经常提醒自己，在茫茫宇宙中的小角落的小星球的生命史上，人只是一个简短的插曲，要经常提醒自己，在茫茫宇宙中一个小小角落的一颗小小星球的生命史上，人类仅仅是一个短暂的插曲，要经常提醒自己，人类只是宇宙中小小角落里一个小行星上生命的短暂插曲而已，而且，说不定，并且，我们知道，我们知道，他们优越于我们的生命，就像我们优越于水母一样。他们优越于我们像我们优越于水母。他们优越于我们的程度不亚于我们优越于水母的程度。II下面的汉语段落后提供的英语译文有未完成的地方，这些未完成的地方用划线标出，并均提供了三个译文（分别标为A,B,C），请选择你认为最好的译文. （2x10=20%）花蜜是一种香甜的、多水分的流体，总是含有一种特殊的香味，这种香味跟从它采集蜜汁的花的香味有关。在蜂蜜中，这种特殊的香味通常便消失了，蜂蜜是一种水分比花蜜少得多的流体。花蜜在变成蜜蜂的过程中所经受的几次变化是在（蜜蜂）的蜜囊中开始的。在这里，跟花蜜混在一起的唾液开始把花蜜中的蔗糖转化为蜂蜜中的葡萄糖，而这一过程在把流体贮存到蜂蜡做成的巢室以后还在继续进行。蜂群对蜂蜜的需要超过对花粉的需要，因而贮存蜂蜜的巢室比存放食物的巢室多。贮存的蜂蜜和花粉用做工蜂、雄蜂和蜂王每天的食物，但一箱健全的蜜蜂总有剩余的蜜储存起来的。而这些剩余的蜂蜜使这些蜜蜂能够年复一年地延续下去。从蜂蜜吐出的新鲜花蜜含有80%的水分，流动性很大。由花蜜变成蜂蜜的过程最有趣的环节之一就是去掉多余的水分。Nectar is a sweet watery fluid _ This specific flavor as a rule disappears in the honey, which is a much less watery fluid than the nectar. _where the saliva which is mixed with the nectar _and this process _._surpasses that of pollen, and the honey-cells are more numerous than “bee-bread” cells. The stored honey and pollen serve for the daily food of _but _ there is a surplus store, and this surplus store _The fresh nectar poured out from the body of the bee contains 80 percent of water _ One of the most interesting factors in the conversion of nectar to honey _A. which in almost every case has a specific flavor associated with the flower from which it is drawn by bees.B. which in almost every case a specific flavor associated with the flavor of the flower from which it is drawn.C. which in almost every case has a specific flavor associated with the flower from which it draws honey.A.

There are several reasons why Kissinger no loner appears to be the magician the world press had made him out to be an illusion which he failed to discourage because, as he would admit himself, he has a tendency toward megalomania. 对此人们曾经写过不少文章，发表过不少言论。基辛格不仅在中东起了作用，而且还从事了一系列冒险活动，包括一些最重要的冒险活动。但这些文章和言论大部分都有一个特点，就是既反映出对他的策略有所认识和了解，又表现出对他的战略捉摸不透。2. The English arrived in North America with hopes of duplicating the exploits of the Spanish in South America, where explorers had discovered immense fortunes in gold and silver. Although Spain and England shared a pronounced lust for wealth, differences between the two cultures were profound.英国人抱着和西班牙人开拓南美洲一样的动机来到北美洲，虽然西班牙和英国都同样明显地贪图财富，但是两国的文化却存在着很大的差异。西班牙的探险者在南美洲发现了大批金银财宝。3. She turned towards me immediately. The easy elegance of every movement of her limbs and body as soon as she began to advance from the far end of the room, set me in a flutter of expectation to see her face clearly.她立刻转过身来。我不由得很想看清她的面孔。当她从房间的那一头走过来时，一举手一投足风度非常优雅。4. Many men have recognized the similarity of plants to the behavior of animals, and have dreamed wistfully, but forlornly, upon some method or source of rejuvenation such as Ponce de Leon sought in the Fountain of Youth several centuries ago.植物的习性与动物相似，就像数百年前，彭斯 德 里昂在青春泉祈求仙水一样，许多人认识到，于是梦寐以求的探讨什么“返老还童”的“灵丹妙药”， 结果只能是竹篮打水。 5. They drifted across America and gathered in the big cities when winter came, hungry, defeated, empty, hopeless, restless, driven by they knew not what, always on the move, looking everywhere for work., for the bare crumbs to support their miserable lives, and finding neither work nor crumbs. 冬天到了，他们漂泊啊，漂泊，走遍了美国，忍饥挨饿，到处碰壁，一无所有，前途渺茫，才在各大城市聚集起来，到处找仅能糊口的面包，以维持他们悲惨的生活，可是一样也没找到。焦躁不安，心烦意乱，辗转奔波，到处找活干。IV下面的汉语段落提供的译文没有排序，请根据原文将译文排序，使之成为一个连贯的段落。（10%）太阳刚刚下了地平线。秋风一阵一阵地吹上人面，怪痒痒的。苏州河的浊水幻成了金绿色，轻轻地，悄悄地向西流去。黄浦夕潮不知怎的已经涨上了，现在沿这苏州河的两岸的各色船只都浮得高高地，仓面比码头还高了约半英尺。风吹来外滩公园里的音乐，却只有那炒豆似的铜鼓声音最分明，也最叫人兴奋。暮霭挟着薄雾，笼罩了外白渡桥的高耸的钢架，电车驶过时，这钢架下横空价挂的电车线时时爆发出几朵碧绿的火花。从桥上向东望，可以看见浦东的洋栈像巨大的怪兽，蹲在瞑色中，闪着千百只小眼睛似的灯火。向西望，叫人猛一惊的，是高高地装在一所洋房顶而且异常庞大的霓虹电管广告，射出火一样的赤光和青磷似的绿焰。Looking east, one could see the warehouses of foreign firms on the waterfront of Pootung like huge monsters crouching in the gloom, Under a sunset-mottled sky, the towering framework of Garden Bridge was mantled in the gathering mist. The evening tide from the Wangpoo had turned imperceptible, and now the assortment of boats along both sides of the creed were riding high, The muddy water of Soochow Creek, transformed to a golden green, flowed quietly westward. Whenever a tram passed over the bridge, the overhead cable suspended below the top of the steel frame threw off bright, greenish sparks. The sun had just sunk below the horizon and a gentle breeze caressed ones face. To the west, one saw with a shock of wonder on the roof of a building a gigantic neon sign in flaming red and phosphorescent green: LIGHT, HEAT, POWER! Faint strains of music were bore on the wind from the riverside park, punctuated by the sharp, cheerful patter of kettledrums. their lights twinkling like countless tiny eyes. their decks some six inches above the landing stages. V请将下列短文翻译成汉语。（20%）Some one may say, “Did not the men and women have to be braver in the war times than in time of peace? Let us stamp that as false. What a terrible thing it would be to be brave, if bravery required us to hurt and kill! Is it not brave to try to save life! Thousands of brave men are risking their lives every day to help men and to save us all from harm. Brave doctors and nurses go where deadly disease is and are not afraid to help save the sick. Brave students are trying perilous experiments so as to find out better knowledge for us all. Brave engineers on thousands of locomotives are not afraid of sudden death if they can save their passengers from harmful accidents. Brave sailors are always facing the sea and the storm. Brave firemen stand ready to die to bring little children safely out of burning buildings. Brave boys every summer risk their lives to save their comrades from drowning.Never forget it: it is better to be brave to help men than it is to be brave to harm them.
