填空题C-E Translation．(上海交通大学2007研，考试科目：英语水平考试) 我们已经习惯了这样认识母亲：她是为我们而存在的，是属于我们的，属于父亲，婆婆，哥哥，我，以及我们的下一代。小的时候，我们习惯了母亲在灯下捏着针线，为我们缝补衣服，下班回来给我们带好吃的，去学校为我们开家长会，柔声细语地抚慰我们，擦去我们的泪水。“文革”中父亲的突然死亡，使我们看见了一个孤单无助的母亲，那是因为她把头埋在了自己的臂弯里，浑身颤抖，从那下面传出陌生的无力的抽泣声。那一刻她没有理睬我们惊恐的呼唤。那一刻，她是暂离我们而远去了，去到她一个人的世界。可不久她又回来了。为我们去单位蹲牛棚，扫厕所。真的，的确是为了我们，我当时是这样对她说的——妈妈，为了我们，你要活下去，我以为这句话能够让她不死。当时才十几岁的我，已模糊地认定母亲是不会舍下我们的，我们，就是她活在世上的全部理由。母亲果然没有随父亲而去。天长日久，我们习惯了她的憔悴、操劳，她对脾气乖戾的祖母(她的婆婆)的全力侍奉和忍让，对小孩们慈爱温和的笑。在我们心目中，这就是母亲的形象：一个终身的孝媳，贤妻，良母。 现在，我们身边和心里有了巨大的阙失。母亲把自己整个儿带走了，而我们仍在。母亲自身即是一个整体。这是我们从前很少想到的。

填空题Tourism, holidaymaking and travel are these days more significant social phenomena than most commentators have considered. On the face of it there could not be a more trivial subject for a book. And indeed since social scientists have had considerable difficulty explaining weightier topics, such as work or politics, it might be thought that they would have great difficulties in accounting for more trivial phenomena such as holidaymaking. 1 However, there are interesting parallels with the study of deviance. This involves the investigation of bizarre and idiosyncratic social practices which happen to be defined as deviant in some societies but not necessarily in others. The assumption is that the investigation of deviance can reveal interesting and significant aspects of "normal" societies. It could be said that a similar analysis can be applied to tourism. 2 Tourism is a leisure activity which presupposes its opposite, namely regulated and organised work. It is one manifestation of how work and leisure are organised as separate and regulated spheres of social practice in "modern" societies. Indeed acting as a tourist is one of the defining characteristics of being "modern" and the popular concept of tourism is that it is organized within particular places and occurs for regularised periods of time. Tourist relationships arise from a movement of people to, and their stay in, various destinations. This necessarily involves some movement, that is the journey, and a period of stay in a new place or places. The journey and the stay are by definition outside the normal places of residence and work and are of a short-term and temporary nature and there is a clear intention to return "home" within a relatively short period of time. 3 A substantial proportion of the population of modern societies engages in such tourist practices; new socialised forms of provision have developed in order to cope with the mass character of the gazes of tourists, as opposed to the individual character of travel. Places are chosen to be visited and be gazed upon because there is an anticipation, especially through daydreaming and fantasy, of intense pleasures, either on a different scale or involving different senses from those customarily encountered. Such anticipation is constructed and sustained through a variety of non-tourist practices, such as films, TV, literature, magazines, records and videos which construct and reinforce this daydreaming. 4 Tourists tend to visit features of landscape and townscape, which separate them off from everyday experience. Such aspects are viewed because they are taken to be in some sense out of the ordinary. The viewing of these tourist sights often involves different forms of social patterning, with a much greater sensitivity to visual elements of landscape or townscape than is normally found in everyday life. People linger over these sights in a way that they would not normally do in their home environment and the vision is objectified or captured through photographs, postcards, films and so on which enable the memory to be endlessly reproduced and recaptured. 5 To service the burgeoning tourist industry, an array of professionals has developed who attempt to reproduce ever-new objects for the tourist to look at. These objects or places are located in a complex and changing hierarchy. This depends upon the interplay between, on the one hand, competition between interests involved in the provision of such objects and, on the other hand, changing class, gender, and generational distinctions of taste within the potential population of visitors. It has been said that to be a tourist is one of the characteristics of the "modern experience". Not to "go away" is like not possessing a car or a nice house. Travel is a marker of status in modern societies and is also thought to be necessary for good health. The role of the professional, therefore, is to cater for the needs and tastes of the tourists in accordance with their class and overall expectations. A. Good reason for the study of tourism B. Developing new forms of provision C. Essence of modern tourism D. Tourism vs. leisure E. Extraordinariness of modern tourism F. Exploring role of tourist professionals

填空题Translation from Chinese to English．(河海大学2006研，考试科目：基础英语) 鼓楼 位于南京市中心的鼓楼，建于明洪武十五年，那时担当为全城百姓昼夜报时的重任，有时也用作迎王、接诏书等大庆。到了清代，鼓楼只遗留下城阙，康熙皇帝南巡时，在此登临四望，地方官才在鼓楼基座上树碑建楼，并更名为“碑楼”。鼓楼分上下两层，下层高达9米，红墙巍峙，飞檐迎风。上层建筑，分为中殿和东西殿，滴水直落台座之外。如今的鼓楼是人们登高远眺，领古城风貌的胜地。

填空题The passage contains 10 errors. Each indicated line contains a maximum of ONE error. In each case, only ONE word is involved. You should proofread the passage and correct it in the following way : For a {{U}}wrong{{/U}} word, underline the wrong word and write the correct one in the blank provided at the end of the line. For a {{U}}missing{{/U}} word, mark the position of the missing word with a "∧" sign and write the word you believe to be missing in the blank provided at the end of the line. For an {{U}}unnecessary{{/U}} word, cross the unnecessary work with a slash "—" and put the word in the blank provided at the end of the line.The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical words have "less {{U}} 1 {{/U}}______ meaning", but in fact some grammarians have called {{U}} 2 {{/U}}______ them "empty" words as opposed in the "full" words {{U}} 3 {{/U}}______ of vocabulary. But this is a rather misled way of {{U}} 4 {{/U}}______ expressing the distinction. Although a word like the is not the name of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; {{U}} 5 {{/U}}______ there is a sharp difference in meaning between "man is vile" and "the man is vile", yet the is the single vehicle of this {{U}} 6 {{/U}}______ difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words differ considerably among themselves as the amount {{U}} 7 {{/U}}______ of meaning they have even in the lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been "little words." But size is by no mean a {{U}} 8 {{/U}}______ good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, {{U}} 9 {{/U}}______ man, say, car. Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say: we certainly do create a great number of {{U}} 10 {{/U}}______ obscurity when we omit them. This is illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.
