填空题US President Bush has been having a difficult summer. Recent polls show a considerable decline in public approval of his conduct of the nation's business, yet in just few weeks voters will decide whether he or Democrat John Kerry is to be the next president. If things are going so badly for Bush, then Kerry must be doing well, right? 41)__________. His public appearances kindle little enthusiasm. His TV ads sway few viewers. As a result, Kerry supporters tend to be more anti-Bush than they are genuinely pro-Kerry. Democratic strategists point out that Kerry has a pattern of coming from behind to win political races. And even though Kerry stirs little excitement, many Americans are quite eager to learn whom he will choose as his running mate. A popular vice presidential candidate could energize his campaign, especially since there is little chance that President. Bush will dump the much-loathed Richard Cheney from the Republican ticket. Most observers agree that Kerry is not a particularly strong candidate for the US presidency. He tends to be respected, but he arouses little enthusiasm.42)__________But then, two weeks ago, the Republicans counterattacked vigorously, end the race is once again wide open. The public's generally positive impression of Senator's Kerry's character is based in large part on his record during the war in Vietnam, when he performed heroically as the commander of a "swift boat", a light military craft used by the US Navy to thread the rivers and canals of southern Vietnam. The crew of his old boat are united in their praise of him. 43)__________.Two weeks ago they began appearing in stingingly negative TV ads aired in crucial states where currently undecided voters will probably determine the outcome of the election. And the ads were effective, drawing independent voters away from Kerry. In the meantime, Kerry's own crewmen have strongly rejected the new version of events. 44)__________Journalists quickly turned up links between the navy veterans and Texas fat cats who had long supplied the Bush family with funds for political campaigns. These rich folks were in turn linked to Karl Rove, Bush' s masterful political strategist--his very own Zhuge Liang. 45)__________. Cartoonist David Horsey, like many other observers, thinks Karl Rove is up to his old tricks; a similar effort--in this case, untraceable slanderous rumors during a key primary race--undermined popular Republican Senator John McCaine's campaign for the GOP nomination in 2000. In today's cartoon Rove is portrayed as the puppeteer controlling Bush' s wealthy supporters in Texas (notice the Texas-style cowboy hat). The hand puppet in turn seems to be manipulating another, smaller puppet that represents the angry swift boat veterans.A. Nonetheless, thanks to the slow economic recovery, the difficult situation in Iraq and changing perceptions of President Bush's competence, he seemed to be on the road to a very narrow victory in November.B. But leadership, you know, isn't about taking the easy route; it is about making the tough, sometimes unpopular decisions. President Bush has demonstrated that he can make tough decisions, and I personally like the fact that his faith end his values are the foundation of his decisions.C. Not exactly. Americans outside Massachusetts, which Kerry represents in the Senate, seem to find it hard to relate to the Democratic candidate.D. While Bush would dearly love to undermine Kerry's image, he cannot afford to be seen doing so. (His own military record, after all; makes a sorry contrast with Kerry's.)E. Are the ads the Bush campaign in action or just the vengeful protest of naval officers whose leadership was questioned in a recent biography of Kerry? It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to make such an ad and buy air time; so many people immediately suspected that wealthy Republicans were behind the effort.F. However, a group of navy veterans (all present in the same area of Vietnam as Kerry and during the same period, some as senior officers, others as crewmen not on Kerry's boat but on other, similar craft) have denounced Kerry in a book that came out last month. They allege that he did not deserve the medals for valiant leadership he won in the war.G. Kerry remains an unknown quantity to most Americans, but better known Democrats are much in the news. Examine the publicity posters in the cartoon. In both upper comers are ads for ex-President Clinton's lengthy autobiography, My Lif

填空题次日，聚众将于帐下，教请孔明议事。孔明欣然而至。坐定，瑜问孔明曰：“即日将与曹军交战。水路交兵，当以何兵器为先?”孔明日：“大江之上，以弓箭为先。”瑜日：“先生之言，甚合愚意。但今军中正缺箭用，敢烦先生监造十万枝箭，以为应敌之具。此系公事，先生幸勿推却。”孔明日：“都督见委，自当效劳。敢问十万枝箭，何时要用?”瑜日：“十日之内，可完办否?”孔明日：“操军即日将至，若候十日，必误大事。”瑜日：“先生料几日可完办?”孔明日：“只消三日，便可拜纳十万枝箭。”瑜日：“军中无戏言。”孔明日：“怎敢戏都督!愿纳军令状：三日不办，甘当重罚。”……鲁肃日：“此人莫非诈乎?”瑜日：“他自送死，非我逼他。今明白对众要了文书，他便两肋生翅，也飞不去。我只分付军匠人等，教他故意迟延，凡应用物件，都不与齐备。如此，必然误了日期。那时定罪，有何理说?公今可去探他虚实，却来回报。”

填空题Translate the following two passages into Chinese．Of course, my first impulse was to prepare this man"s remains for burial(laughter), but upon reflection I said I would reprieve him for a moment or two, and give him a chance to prove his assertion if he could. We stepped into a bookstore, and he did prove it. I had really stolen that dedication, almost word for word. I could not imagine how this curious thing had happened: for I knew one thing, for a dead certainty—that a certain amount of pride always goes along with a teaspoonful of brains, and that this pride protects a man from deliberately stealing other people"s ideas. That is what a teaspoonful of brains will do for a man—and admirers had often told me I had nearly a basketful, though they were rather reserved as to the size of the basket(laughter).

填空题Please read the following passage and translate it into Chinese．(北京外国语大学2013研，考试科目：英语基础测试(技能))Shakespeare starts by assuming that to make yourself powerless is to invite an attack. This does not mean that everyone will turn against you, but in all probability someone will. If you throw away your weapons, some less scrupulous person will pick them up. If you turn the other cheek, you will get a harder blow on it than you got on the first one. This does not always happen, but it is to be expected, and you ought not to complain if it does happen. The second blow is, so to speak, part of the act of turning the other cheek. First of all, therefore, there is the vulgar, common-sense moral "Don"t relinquish power: don"t give away your lands. " But there is also another moral. Shakespeare never utters it in so many words, and it does not very much matter whether he was fully aware of it:" Give a-way your lands if you want to, but don"t expect to gain happiness by doing so. Probably you won"t gain happiness. If you live for others, you must live for other, and not as a roundabout way of getting advantage for yourself. "
