填空题Music comes in many forms; most countries have a style of their own. Poland has its polkas. Hungary has its czardas, Brazil is famous for the bossa nova, Caribbean countries for the merengue, and Argentina for the tango. The U. S. is known for jazz, a completely original type of music that has gained world-wide popularity.
1
. Brash, uninhibited, exciting, it has a modem sound. In the 1920"s jazz sounded like America. And so it does today.
The origins of this music are as interesting as the music itself. Jazz was invented by American Negroes, or blacks, as they are called today, who were brought to the Southern states as slaves.
2
.
A band often accompanied the procession. On the way to the cemetery the band played slow, solemn music suited to the occasion. But on the way home the mood changed. Spirits lifted. Everybody was happy. This music made everyone want to dance. It was an early form of jazz. But there were other influences, too.
Music has always been important in Negro life.
3
. As these people settled into their new life in the plantations of the South, music retained its importance. In the fields, they made up work songs. Singing made the hard work go faster. And as the people were converted to Christianity, they composed lovely spirituals which have become a permanent part of American music.
4
In fact, there was hardly any activity or social event that could not be set to music. Weddings, births, christenings, funerals, picnics, parades—all had their musical accompaniment.
After the American Civil War ( 1861-1865 ), the Negroes had gained their freedom and were ready for a new type of music, one that would preserve their musical traditions but be fast and happy to express their new-found freedom. They wanted something they could play as professional musicians for both black and white audiences.
5
. To be good, a musician had not only to remember his part but also to be able to invent new variations on the spur of the moment.
A. Coming mainly from West Africa, the blacks who were brought to America already possessed a rich musical tradition. This music centered on religious ceremonies in which dancing, singing, clapping, and stamping to the beat of a drum were important forms of musical and rhythmic expression.
B. Jazz was the answer. It combined themes from Negro work songs, spirituals and blues, set to a fast beat, with the musicians improvising as they went along, like the funeral marching bands.
C. They were sold to plantation owners and forced to work long hours in the cotton and tobacco fields. This work was hard and life was short. When a Negro died his friends and relatives formed a Sprocession to carry the body to the cemetery.
D. Jazz belongs to the people, but popular taste is changeable. Jazz had to keep up to date. Over the last half century it has changed many times in form, style, and tempo. Each change added something new.
E. Another musical form which contributed to jazz was the blues. Blues songs always describe something sad—an unhappy love affair, a money problem, bad luck. To this day, the expression "feeling blue" means being sad or depressed.
F. Death had removed one of their number, but the living were glad to be alive. The band played happy music, improvising on both the harmony and the melody of the tunes presented at the funeral.
G. Jazz is America"s contribution to popular music. In contrast to classical music, which follows formal European traditions, jazz is spontaneous and free-form. It bubbles with energy, expressing the moods, interests, and emotions of the people.
填空题Meanwhile, Party B shall, ______ time ______ time, send to Party A samples of similar commodities offered by other suppliers, together ______ their prices, sales information and advertising materials.
填空题Truths to Live By
The art of living is to know when to hold fast and when to let go.
1
. The rabbis of old put it this way: "A man comes into this world with his fist clenched, but when he dies, his hand is open."
2
. We know that this is so, but all too often we recognize this truth only in our backward glance when we remember with far greater pain that we did not see that beauty when it flowered, that we failed to respond with love to love when it was tendered.
3
. I was hospitalized following a severe heart attack and had been in intensive care for several days. It was not a pleasant place.
One morning, I had to have some additional tests. The required machines were located in a building at the opposite end of the hospital, so I had to be wheeled across the courtyard.
As we emerged from our unit, the sunlight hit me. That"s all there was to my experience. Just the light of the sun.
4
.
I looked to see whether anyone else relished the sun"s golden glow, but everyone was hurrying to and fro, most with their eyes fixed on the ground. Then I remembered how often I, too, had been indifferent to the grandeur of each day, too preoccupied with petty and sometimes even mean concerns to respond to the splendor of it all.
The insight gleaned from that experience is really as commonplace as was the experience itself: life"s gifts are precious but we are too heedless of them.
Here then is the first pole of life"s paradoxical demands on us: Never be too busy for the wonder and the awe of life.
5
. Embrace each hour. Seize each golden minute.
6
. This is the second side of life"s coin, the opposite pole of its paradox: we must accept our losses, and learn how to let go.
This is not an easy lesson to learn, especially when we are young and think that the world is ours to command, that whatever we desire with the full force of our passionate being can, may, will, be ours.
7
.
A. Surely we ought to hold fast to life, for it is wondrous, and full of a beauty that breaks through every pore of God"s own earth.
B. But then life moves along to confront us with realities, and slowly but surely this second truth dawns upon us.
C. For life is a paradox: it enjoins us to cling to its many gifts even while it ordains their eventual relinquishment.
D. When life is treated with the proper attitude, regret will surely not be left behind.
E. A recent experience re-taught me this truth.
F. Hold fast to life.., but not so fast that you cannot let go.
G. Be reverent before each dawning day.
H. And yet how beautiful it was—how warming, how sparkling, how brilliant!

填空题Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation 0n the Answer Sheet.(西安外国语大学2009研,考试科目:英语专业基础)Nothing could be more obvious than the evidence supporting Reisman. Scofflaws abound in amazing variety. The graffiti-prone turn public surfaces into visual rubbish. Bicyclists often ride as though two-wheeled vehicles are exempt from all traffic laws. Litterbugs convert their communities into trash dumps. Widespread flurries of ordinances have failed to clear public places of high-decibel potable radios, just as earlier laws failed to wipe out the beer-soaked hooliganism that plagues many parks. Tobacco addicts remain hopelessly blind to signs that say NO SMOKING. Respectably dressed pot smokers no longer bother to duck out of public sight to pass around joint. The flagrant use of cocaine is a festering scandal on middle and upper-class life. And then there are(hello, everybody!)the jaywalkers.

填空题Translate the following extract into English.(北京林业大学2005研,考试科目:翻译和写作) 失业,尤其是主动选择失业,其实是一种勇气,更是一种资格。 张辰两年前研究生毕业,凭借实力和机遇,在经过无数轮的竞争后,进入了一家世界排名500强的国际公司。一年内,张辰从一名普通职员做到了项目经理,工资翻了几番。不过最近他向家人宣布:“我又升职了,但是打算圣诞节后辞职。”这让张辰的家人大吃一惊,“没有什么不顺心的,只是觉得工作不会再带给我满足感了。” 截至2005年三季度,全国劳动力市场供求状况显示,我国15岁至29岁的青年总体失业率达到了9%,远远高于4.5%的城镇平均登记失业率。而在此之中,类似张辰这样,选择主动失业的占到了一半以上。 “主动放弃就业机会的原因有很多,但这些人都有一个共性,就是不会因为经济原因饿死,至少在短时间内不会。”复旦大学教授葛剑雄认为,社会发展到现在,一些青年人的确具备了可以失业的条件。他们不用像上班族那样刻板地工作,可是相比之下他们的生活却格外“富足”。
