问答题We were all at the hospital every afternoon, and there were different ways of walking across the town through the dusk to the hospital. Two of the ways were alongside canals, but they were long. Always, though, you crossed a bridge across a canal to enter the hospital. There was a choice of three bridges. On one of them a woman sold roasted chestnuts. It was warm, standing in front of her charcoal fire, and the chestnuts were warm afterward in your pocket. The hospital was very old and very beautiful, and you entered through a gate and walked across a courtyard and out a gate on the other side. There were usually funerals starting from the courtyard. Beyond the old hospital were the new brick pavilions, and there we met every afternoon and were all very polite and interested in what was the matter, and sat in the machines that were to make so much difference.

问答题The English reader may accept my assumption that there is such a thing as American literature, and concede that American writers, like the Irish, have managed surprisingly well with their mixed-up heritage. Yet he may still be worried about literary values(or at any rate English ones), and complain that in stressing the American qualities inherent in American literature there is a danger of cultural chauvinism. Americans, he might argue, harp on American humor. American democracy, and so on. as though they were American discoveries, virtues peculiar to the United States. They do the same, he may think, in respect to their vices: to anti-intellectualism. commercialism, and the like, which are characteristic of England also. Here I agree to some extent with my imaginary English reader. American literary historians are perhaps prone to view their own national scene too narrowly, mistaking prominence for uniqueness. They do over-praise their own literature, or certainly its minor figures. And Americans do swing from aggressive over-praise of their literature to an equally unfortunate, imitative deference.

问答题Translate the following passage from Chinese into English(20 points) 不久前有人问：恺撒、亚历山大、克伦威尔等人，哪一个是最伟大的人物?但回答却是：牛顿。不过这个看似答非所问的回答也不无道理。因为，倘若伟大是指得天独厚、才智超群、明理而诲人的话，像牛顿先生这样一个十个世纪以来杰出的人，才真正是伟大人物。至于那些政治家和征服者，哪个世纪也不稀罕，都不过是些大名鼎鼎的坏蛋罢了。我们应当尊敬的是凭真理的力量统治人心的人，而不是依靠暴力来奴役人的人；是认识真理的人，而不是歪曲真理的人。

问答题Analyze the Following Text from A Linguistic Point of View.The crisp April air whipped through the open window of the Citroen ZX as it skimmed south past the Opera House and crossed Place Vendome. In the passenger seat, Robert Langdon felt the city tear past him as he tried to clear his thoughts. His quick shower and shave had left him looking reasonably presentable but had done little to ease his anxiety. The frightening image of the curator"s body remained locked in his mind.Jacques Sauniere is dead.Langdon could not help but feel a deep sense of loss at the curator"s death. Despite Sauniere"s reputation for being reclusive, his recognition for dedication to the arts made him an easy man to revere. His books on the secret codes hidden in the paintings of Poussin and Teniers were some of Langdon"s favorite classroom texts. Tonight"s meeting had been one Langdon was very much looking forward to, and he was disappointed when the curator had not shown.Again the image of the curator"s body flashed in his mind. Jacques Sauniere did that to himself? Langdon turned and looked out the window, forcing the picture from his mind.Outside, the city was just now winding down-street vendors wheeling carts of candied amandes, waiters carrying bags of garbage to the curb, a pair of late night lovers cuddling to stay warm in a breeze scented with juniper blossom. The Citroen navigated the chaos with authority, its dissonant two-tone siren parting the traffic like a knife.
