问答题Gandhi's pacifism can be separated to some extent from his other teachings. (1) Its motive was religious, but he claimed also for it that it was a definitive technique, a method, capable of producing desired political results. Gandhi's attitude was not that of most Western pacifists. Satyagraha, (2) the method Gandhi proposed and practiced, first evolved in South Africa, was a sort of non-violent warfare, a way of defeating the enemy without hurting him and without feeling or arousing hatred. It entailed such things as civil disobedience, strikes, lying down in front of Railway trains, enduring police charges without running away and without hitting back, and the like. Gandhi objected to "passive resistance" as a translation of Satyagraha: in Gujarati, it seems, the word means "firmness in the truth". (3) In his early days Gandhi served as a stretcher-bearer on the British side in the Boer War, and he was prepared to do the same again in the war of 1914-1918. Even after he had completely abjured violence he was honest enough to see that in war it is usually necessary to take sides. Since his whole political life centered round a struggle for national independence, he could not and, (4) indeed, he did not take the sterile and dishonest line of pretending that in every war both sides are exactly the same and it makes no difference who wins. Nor did he, like most Western pacifists, specialize in avoiding awkward questions. In relation to the late war, one question that every pacifist had a clear obligation to answer was: "What about the Jews? Are you prepared to see them exterminated? If not, how do you propose to save them without resorting to war?" (5) I must say that I have never heard, from any Western pacifist, an honest answer to this question, though I have heard plenty of evasions, usually of the "you're another" type. But it so happens that Gandhi was asked a somewhat similar question in 1938 and that his answer is on record in Mr. Louis Fischer's Gandhi and Stalin. According to Mr. Fischer, Gandhi's view was that the German Jews ought to commit collective suicide, which "would have aroused the world and the people of Germany to Hitler's violence./

问答题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following passage carefully and then translate each underlined part into Chinese. 61. {{U}}Criticism is a study by which men grow important and formidable at very small expense. The power of invention has been conferred by nature upon few, and the labor of learning those sciences which may, by mere labor be obtained, is too great to be willingly endured; but every man can exert such judgment as be has upon the works of others; and he whom nature has made weak, and idleness keeps ignorant, may yet support his vanity by the name of a critic.{{/U}} 62. {{U}}I hope it will give comfort to great numbers who are passing through the world in obscurity, when I inform them how easily distinction may be obtained. All the other powers of literature are coy and haughty; they must be long courted and at last are not always gained; but Criticism is a goddess easy of access and forward of advance, who will meet the slow and encourage the timorous; the want of meaning she supplies with words, and the want of spirit she recompenses with malignity.{{/U}} 63. {{U}}This profession has one recommendation peculiar to itself, that it gives vent to malignity without real mischief. No genius was ever blasted by the breath of critics. Tire poison which, if confined, would have burst the heart fumes away in empty hisses, and malice is set at ease with very little danger to merit. The critic is the only man whose triumph is without another's pain and whose greatness does not rise upon another's ruin.{{/U}} 64. {{U}}To a study at once so easy and so reputable, so malicious and so harmless, it cannot be necessary to invite my readers by a long or labored exhortation; it is sufficient, since all would be critics if they could, to show by one eminent example that all can be critics if they will.{{/U}}

问答题Before the Industrial Revolution, there could have been few family reunions as we know this ceremony at the present time, with its assembling of infrequently-encountered but still familiar figures and the consequent going up to day with the events in other people' s lives. Present-day impressions of this important occasion are of a strange blending of formalities, plain speaking, with a general lack of natural warmth.

问答题The Theatre of the Absurd (3 points)

问答题The impact of decentralization trends, of course, extends well beyond cities. Sprawling development patterns are destabilizing many of the suburbs that surround cities in this country. Older suburbs are experiencing the same challenges as cities: failing schools, persistent crime, and the loss of jobs and businesses to other, further out suburbs. Even suburban areas that are developing rapidly are finding that explosive growth has its drawbacks, especially in the form of overcrowded schools, but also in long commutes and the inability of local governments to pay for new roads, sewers, and other infrastructure. In the wake of decentralizing economies, central cities remain the residence of "choice" for low-and moderate-income families. While poverty has declined in central cities, urban poverty rates are still twice as high as suburban poverty rates, 18. 8 percent as against 9. 0 percent in 2011 Cities and older suburbs are also disproportionately home to families whose earnings are above the poverty level, but below median income(national median income is $ 37, 000 a yeas and 200 percent of the poverty for a family of three is $ 27, 000 a year). The implications of concentrated poverty are severe. People in these neighborhoods often face a triple whammy: poor schools, weak job information networks, and scarce jobs. They are more likely to live in female-headed households and have less formal educations than residents of other neighborhoods.

问答题Directions: Read the following Chinese text and write an abstract of it in 80～100 English words 请把“公车”还给大众 你知道北京有多少辆“公车”吗?2011年3月的最后一天，北京市财政局公布了一个数字：62026。这个碰巧在排列上有对称性的数字，也碰巧有了历史性的意义，因为公布此类信息，尚属全国首次。 诚如此次信息公开的申请人北京某律师所助理叶晓静所说，这件事情虽然让人感到高兴，看到政府信息透明的希望，但这一信息过于简单，起不到监督的作用。她申请公开的是“公车”数量和型号，结果只有数字。而且，这个数字前面还添了若干限定语，除了“截至去年底”这个必要的时间点之外，还有“市党政机关、全额拨款事业单位公务用车”。也就是说，这只是街上跑的公车的一部分。据官方媒体估计，算上非直接预算购买，差额拨款事业单位、国有企业等单位购买的公车至少会增加到10万辆。民间的估计远远大于这个数字。 如果你对10万辆“公车”没有概念的话，那么可以查一查全市有多少“公交车”。我只找到一个粗略的统计说，有两万多辆，而且这还是多亏2008年北京奥运会前大幅增加的结果。当然，你可以说，两种车的体积和载人量都不同。不过，10万辆公车所追求的，不就是这些不同吗?你仍然可以算一下，这10万辆“公车”服务多少人，而两万辆“公交车”又服务多少人? 我为什么把“公车”和“公交车”加上引号呢?因为按照我自己生活中的语言习惯，“公车”就是大家都能用的车，也就是“公交车”一一看到广州媒体对“公车”新闻的报道，和北方的媒体并没有区别，我就不敢肯定是不是所有广州人都这样说话了——回想起来，多次在北京发生这样的事情：谈完工作之后，当地朋友问我，“怎么回去?”我答道，“坐公车啊。”我指的是坐公交车或者地铁，朋友们是不是以为我有“公务用车”，而且还不无炫耀地挂在嘴上呢? 这并非文字游戏，而是“名不正则言不顺，言不顺则事不成”。把“公务用车”简称为“公车”，看上去也没有什么问题，但是它以少数人的利益，占据了本应属于绝大多数人的“公”字。这不仅缩减了“公”的外延，而且还改变了它的内涵，使它变成了“特权”的代名词。我建议将“公车”还给大众，指称公共交通系统，而把“公务用车”称为“官车”或“政府用车”，这样就更能显示出其数量远远多于公交车的荒谬现实。 官员作为“公家的人”，坐“公(交)车”理所当然。只有在特殊的情况下，才可以用一下“官车”，否则就会沦为笑话。你实在不喜欢挤“公车”，可以自己买车代步。有人把这种情况称为“私车公用”，这个词本身也莫名其妙。你自己去上班或者办事，自己解决交通是再也正常不过的事。按照这种逻辑，一个公务员的身体和思想，是不是都应该由政府购买下来，然后才能工作，否则就是“私腿公用”、“私脑公用”了? 取消“官车”并没有公务员叫喊的那么麻烦。杭州市自2009年5月宣布“车改”，市厅局级以下干部一律取消“官车”，改为发放交通补贴。迄今为止，没有听说公务运转因此出了什么问题。根据媒体报道?不少拿到高级别“车补”的官员，自己买车用于上下班。不过，如果是鼓励官员坐“公(交)车”，对于缓解交通拥堵、密切官民关系更有好处。 对于取消“官车”，官员们最让人同情的抱怨是，那么多的“官务接待”，没有“官车”怎么办?其实并非所有的“官务接待”都天经地义。上级或者外地官员来访，不妨请他们坐“公(交)车”或地铁——这不正是了解一个城市的最佳途径吗?
