问答题In order to think about the possibility of a science of virtues, we must, of course, reflect on what we mean by virtue. In the simplest sense, virtues are dispositions to act in certain morally good ways. (1) Thus, a courageous person is disposed to face danger without fleeing, and we would be hesitant to characterize someone who runs away from danger as courageous. Yet, strangely enough, a person characterized by courage might in some circumstances flee from danger without causing us to doubt that he possessed the virtue. And, on the other hand, a person who lacked the virtue of courage might on occasion face danger without fleeing, (2) Sometimes, therefore, we will discover no perfect fit between virtuous character and a disposition to act in specific ways. A little better characterization of virtues is to think of them as something like skills that we acquire through habituation. The pitcher (棒球抽手) who throws a low strike over the outside corner of the plate may just be lucky. If, however, he can do it time after time—habitually—he has acquired a skill. Virtues are something like that, though also a bit different. (3) They are not simply skills that, like technical competence, enable us to carry out a particular task with proficiency; rather, they are skills that fit us for life generally. Acquiring virtues is more like learning to drive a car than it is like merely being able to parallel park. Driving requires a capacity to respond in fitting ways to countless circumstances that arise along the way, not just the ability to carry out a single maneuver. This account of virtues as something like skills more closely approximates a reasonable description of what we mean by virtue, but even habituation cannot be the complete story. It is hard for a pitcher to become skilled, because throwing that low, outside strike is inherently difficult, no matter how badly he wants to throw it. (4) In virtuous action, however, much of the difficulty may come precisely from what we want, from our own contrary inclinations. If I deliberately throw a pitch outside the strike zone, that does not mean I lack the capacity to throw a strike. But if I deliberately cheat the opposing team, I seem to lack a certain virtue. (5) Thus, virtues are not only habitual; they also engage the will in a way that skills do not.

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following passage carefully and then translate each underlined part into Chinese. 71.{{U}}Vacations were once the prerogative of the privileged few, even as late as the 19th century. Now they are considered the right of all, except for such unfotrunate masses as, for example, the bulk of puplation in certain countries, for whom life, save for sleep and brief periods of rest, is uniterrupted toil{{/U}}. Vacations are more necessary now than before because today the average life is less well-rounded and has become increasingly compartmentalized. 72. {{U}}I suppose the idea of vacations, as we conceive it, must be incomprehensible to primitive peoples. Rest of some kind has of course always been a part of the rhythm of human life, but earlier ages did not find it necessary to organize it in the way that modern man has done. Holidays and feast days were sufficient{{/U}}. With modern man's increasing tensions, with the stultifying quality of so much of his work, this break in the year's routine became steadily more necessary. 73. {{U}}Vacations became mandatory for the purpose of renewal and repair. And so it came about that in the United States, the most self-indulgent of nations, the most tense and compartmentalized, vacations have come to take a predominant place in domestic conversation{{/U}}.

问答题In the later summer of that year we lived in a house in a village that looked across the river and the plain to the mountains. In the bed of the river there were pebbles and boulders, dry and white in the sun, and the water was clear and swiftly moving and blue in the channels. Troops went by the house and down the road and the dust they raised powdered the leaves of the trees. The trunks of the trees too were dusty and the leaves fell early that year and we saw the troops marching along the road and the dust rising and leaves, stirred by the breeze, falling and the soldiers marching and afterward the road bare and white except for the leaves.…Poor, poor dear Cat.

问答题Education in Britain and the U.S.A In Britain all children have to go to school between the ages of 5 and 16. In the US children must go to school from the age of 6 to between the ages of 14 and 16, depending on the state they live in.Subjects In England and Wales the subjects taught in schools are laid down by the National Curriculum, which was introduced in 1988 and sets out in detail the subjects that children should study and the levels of achievement they should reach by the ages of 7,11,14 and 16,when they are tested. The National Curriculum does not apply in Scotland, where each school decides what subjects it will teach. In the US the subjects taught are decided by the national and local governments. Whereas British schools usually have prayers and religious instruction ,American schools are not allowed to include prayers or to teach particular religious beliefs.Examinations At 16 students in England and Wales take GCSE examinations. These examinations are taken by students of all levels of ability in any of a range of subjects and may involve a final examination ,an assessment of work done during the two-year course, or both of these things. At 18 some students taking A-level examinations, usually in not more than 3 subjects. It is necessary to have A-levels in order to go to a university or polytechnic. In Scotland students take the SCE examinations. A year later, they can take examinations called HIGHERS, after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a further year at school and take the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies. In Scotland the university system is different to that in England and Wales. Courses usually last four years rather than three and students study a larger number of subjects as part of their degree. In the US school examinations are not as important as they are in Britain. Students in High Schools do have exams at the end of their last two years, but these final exams are considered along with the work that the students have done during the school years.Social events and ceremonies In American high schools there is a formal ceremony for Graduation. Students wear a special cap and gown and receive a diploma from the head of the school. Students often buy a class ring to wear, and a yearbook, containing pictures of their friends and teachers. There are also special social events at American schools. Sports events are popular, and cheer leaders lead the school in supporting the school team and singing the school song. At the end of their junior year, at age 17 or 18,students hold parties in the evening. The girls wear long evening dresses and the boys wear tuxedos(晚礼服). In Britain, there are no formal dances or social occasions associated with school life. Some schools have SPEECH DAY at the end of the school year when prizes are given to the best students and speeches are made by the head teacher and sometimes an invited guest. However, in many British schools students and teachers organize informal dances for the older students.
