填空题Fill in the numbered blanks with proper words. Choose among the listed words below. You can add prefixes or suffixes to the words to make sure they come in correct forms in terms of both grammar and meaning. chant, mistaken, magic, venture, deliberate, appropriate, violate, necessary, subdue, communicate, intelligible, nonetheless, resistible, dimension, condition, rage, anticipate, sanctuary, intrinsic, ward, imagine, obvious At the heart of the American Indian oral tradition is a deep and【K1】______belief in the efficacy of language. Words are【K2】______powerful. They are【K3】______By means of words can one bring about physical change in the universe. By means of words can one quiet a【K4】______weather, bring forth the harvest, 【K5】______off evil, rid the body of sickness and pain, 【K6】______an enemy, capture the heart of a lover, live in the proper way, and【K7】______beyond death. Indeed there is nothing more powerful.

Although meaningless in the ordinary sense of the word, the chant is【K17】______deeply moving and powerful beyond question. In this sense, silence too is powerful. It is the【K18】______in which ordinary and extraordinary events take their proper places. In the Indian world, a word is spoken or a song is sung, not against, but within the silence. In the telling of a story there are silences in which words are【K19】______or held on to, heard to echo in the still depths of the imagination. In the oral tradition, silence is the 【K20】______of sound. Words are wholly alive in the hold of silence; there they are sacred.

填空题Translate the following paragraph into Chinese．Write your translation on the Answer Sheet．(北京第二外国语学院2013研，考试科目：基础英语)As disasters go, this one was terrible, but not unique, certainly not among the worst on the roster of U. S. air crashes. There was the unusual element of the bridge, of course, and the fact that the plane clipped it at a moment of high traffic, one routine thus intersecting another and disrupting both. Then, too, there was the location of the event. Washington, the city of form and regulations, turned chaotic, deregulated, by a blast of real winter and a single slap of metal on metal.
