填空题Choose from the list[A]to[F]after the passage the best sentences to fill in the gaps in the text. There are more sentences than gaps. Brevity Those of us who are small in physical stature are often reassured by kindly friends who say: " The best things come in small packages... A little person is a beautiful thing... It"s the size of the brain that counts..." and so on. For the man who craves those extra inches in order to dominate an audience, for the woman who regularly has to speak in public while resting her chin on the table, these thoughts provide little consolation. But they do contain a germ of truth.【K1】______. Tall people cannot stretch out in the bath or extend their legs in a sleeper or couchette. They can peer over the top of the crowd but seldom slide through it. As with people, so with letters. There are times when a letter must be long to achieve its purpose. But generally, the shorter the words, the sentences and the letter, the more effective the results will be. Even the longest epistle should be broken up into brief sections. There is no excuse for the sentence that stretches into a paragraph, nor the paragraph that becomes a page. 【K2】______. The bore, the windbag, the person whom we would all go the longest distance to avoid, is also the writer whose letters we least like to read. "Oh, him again, " you say, recognizing the prolix prose. " I"ll read it later... if I have time. " So the writer joins the rank of the great unread. In the world of journalism there are newspapers that pay by the word or column inch. This puts a premium on padding.【K3】______. " We only want 500 words, " writes the editor. " We pay £ x per thousand words. " " I shall be delighted to write your piece! " the journalist replies. " But it will be harder for me to condense the material you want into 500 words than to produce a piece of 1, 000. I suggest that it would be fairer to pay the rate of £ x + £ y for the 500-word piece. It will take me longer to write and will cost more in care. " With luck, the editor will agree—as a professional, he will know that length and value are seldom the same. Quality counts. Brevity matters. 【K4】______. In the world of public speaking there is a trite saying: " Stand up, speak up and then shut up. " But at least the spoken work is transitory. Unless you are on radio or television, or you are a politician who produces some glorious gaffe—or, of course, you slander someone—your words will probably go unrecorded and unremembered. Commercial correspondence, though, have their words preserved in files, to be used in evidence if necessary. So keep those words short, accurate arid to the point. If you find your letter is too long, take out your equivalent of the sub-editor"s blue pencil. Peel away the extra words with which your thoughts are clothed and leave them to stand on their own naked merits. If you are ashamed of them when they stand stripped, then think again. Redraft, rewrite, rethink...【K5】______. A magazine once asked millionaire Paul Getty for a short article explaining his success. The editor enclosed his cheque for £ 200. The multi-millionaire wrote: " Some people find oil. Others don"t. " Be brief, then. Or in the famous words of another oil man, " If you don"t strike oil soon, stop boring!"[A]Churchill was once asked how long it took him to prepare a speech. " If it"s a two-hour speech, " he replied, " ten minutes. If it"s a ten-minute speech, two hours.[B]Many professional writers do their best to avoid this sort of yardstick[C]Excess verbiage not only offends, bores and muddles the reader. It also fools the writer[D]Length is fine in its way, but it may be a nuisance[E]When General Eisenhower appointed Arthur Bums as Chairman of his Economic Advisors, Bumssuggested sending the President a memo outlining plans to organize the flow of economic advice.Ike said, "Keep it short. I can"t read. " Bums replied, "That"s fine, Mr. President. I can"twrite!" So they had a one-hour weekly conference instead[F]Brevity is the soul of a good letter. Short, snappy, concise, clear and pungent paragraphs.Thoughts neatly packed into words with punch. Neat, lively expressions, shorn of padding andpomposity. These are the keys to successful correspondence

填空题Translate the following into English.(华东师范大学2010研,考试科目:翻译) 很多人都知道马祖生产一种细小的丁香鱼;用辣椒炒来佐饭很开胃口。我们泾县也产这种鱼,体积还要小些。名叫琴鱼。传说西汉炼士琴高,选了泾北门外的一处山明水秀的地方烧丹炼药,丹成,便羽化而登仙,临上天时,为了感恩这处地方的水质太好,应有所报答,顺手把药罐子里的药渣撒向河中,便化作尾尾红色的小鱼。这种小鱼便是泾县琴溪有名的琴鱼。神话归神话,鱼却是一味上品,据说以前曾作贡品,其名贵可以想见,但这种琴鱼可不是用来当菜佐饭的,那未免猪八戒吃人参果——有点太糟蹋东西了。 江南人嗜饮茶,泾县白云山出产一种名贵的茶叶,泡在杯中颜色便转成白的,这是泾县的白云茶。 有好的茶叶必须配上好的泉水,那才相得益彰;而琴溪的水又是上等好水,两种好东西配在一起,便变成无上妙品。路过琴溪的人,事先都要携带一个毛竹筒,以便装些琴溪水回去孝敬年老爹娘。但是这还不够完美;最完美的必须在饮早茶时,配上一小撮琴鱼。祖父起身很早,他必定先到河边柳林中打完一趟太极拳回来才饮早茶,饮早茶时必定配一小碟琴鱼和一大碟子桂花酥糖:姑姑在家一定为他老人家准备妥当了的。 祖父吃琴鱼,是用大拇指和食指去“钳”,每次只限两条鱼,我说爷爷好小气,他老人这笑笑说:“这东西比鸦片还贵哪!” 贵还是其次,还难买,琴鱼是论两论钱不论斤的,因为琴鱼产量少,很难捕到,我十一岁时离家赴宣城当学徒,便曾经过琴溪,因为等渡船,顺便看当地人用网箔鱼,每次收网,总不过一二十尾,不够铺满一只手掌心的,因稀少,所以贵;因为有神话,其味又鲜,所以名贵;名贵也者,定有很多道理也。 祖父的早茶在地方上很有点名气,有事来需求的一定在早晨赶来,因为早晨时候,祖父的心情最好,几乎有求必应,到晚上来就未必见得了。 琴鱼未必每早必有,因为有时有钱也买不到货,但桂花酥糖则从未缺过,因为制酥糖的是官庄的玉成轩糕饼铺。我家吃糕饼、送礼,祖父必指定这个字号,道理我不知道。但别人家却对我祖父的嗜好摸得很清楚。过年过节,送来的四色礼,一定是桂花酥糖、雪片、蜜枣和绿豆糕;因为酥糖是黄色的,雪片是白的,蜜枣是红的,绿豆糕是绿的,我忘记到了冬天,绿豆糕该换那一样了。 我自小跟祖父学着饮早茶,只学会了吃桂花酥糖,饮茶则,如牛饮,不辨其味。 台北衡阳路采芝斋和成都路老天禄,都卖桂花酥糖,包装得很精美,但吃后粘牙。如今我已好多年不曾“粘牙”了,不知道品质改良了一些没有。

填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent text by choosing from the list A-G to fill in each numbered box. The first and the last paragraphs have been placed for you in Boxes. Mark your answers on ANSER SHEET 1. [A] In 1849 gold was discovered in California in the mountains near San Francisco. So started the famous Gold Rush of the 49ers across the vast, unexplored wilderness that lay west of the Mississippi. Whole families perished. One small group of 49ers, looking for a short cut across the Sierra Nevada Mountains, happened to enter the infamous Death Valley. It was lucky for them it was winter, for in summer Death Valley is about the hottest and most desolate place on earth. As it was, one of the group died of thirst, and it was the 49ers who gave the valley its grim name. [B] The completion of the railroad not only joined the cities of the east with California, it also brought prosperity to the isolated farmers of the plains, and to the ranchers who were now able to send their cattle to the slaughterhouses in freight cars. In fact, the new railroad became an essential life-line for a nation which now stretched 3000 miles from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans. [C] As late as the 1880s a man in the Far west could be hanged for stealing a horse, yet get no more than five years in jail for robbing a bank. Ever since the pioneers went west into the unknown, they depended absolutely on their horses and their guns. If a man lost his horse or his gun in the deserts, mountains or forests of Nevada, Arizona and eastern California, he stood no chance. Hunger, thirst, a grizzly bear, a mountain lion, or hostile Indians would finish him off sooner or later. A frontiers man had to be tough, brave and resourceful in those days. [D] The colonization of the West was given a tremendous impetus by the building of the Transcontinental railroad, one of the great engineering feats of all time. Congress decided that the laying of the tracks should begin from the East and the West at the same time. So the building of this railroad lined with poles for the first east-west telegraph system, developed into a race. The Easterners, moving across the plains, progressed faster, for they did not have to tunnel through giant mountains or bridge gaping canyons. The two railroads linked up in Utah on July 10th, 1867. There was great excitement, and a special ceremony to mark the occasion. [E] Deserts, mountains and forests are still the frontier between teeming Californian cities and the sparsely populated wilderness of Nevada and eastern California. Even today, Nevada has hardly more than 500 thousand inhabitants, most of whom live in the cities of Las Vegas and Reno. [F] Later, in 1865, after the Civil War, disillusioned soldiers, unable to find work, followed in the footsteps of the 49ers. They did not find much gold, but they found rich pastures for cattle. It was they who founded the USA's great food industry, and they worked with the vigor and courage of the early pioneers and with a faith fortified by the Bible. [G] Some Americans feel that the frontier spirit no longer exists in the USA. But it expressed itself in a number of ways. Americans do not like being without work, and they will travel hundreds of miles in search of a job, showing a courage and an enterprise which is un-usual in most of the older European countries. Then there is the exploration of outer space. President John Kennedy in a speech to the nation, spoke of this "New Frontier." The frontier spirit certainly played a part in putting the first men on the noon, the most recent of all frontiers to be crossed.
