填空题Translate the following passage into Chinese．(两南交通大学2008研，考试科目：综合英语)Each of these sets of categories, each of these ways that people construct who they are and what they believe, is increasingly chimerical, capable of evaporating in a moment when people look at the world with different eyes.Class and race may prove to be more durable definers of reality, more stable markers of who is "us" and who is "them". But each of these, too, becomes anything but predicable in a postmodern world. The wretched of the earth may be a force for rebellious change because they believe some form of Marxist doctrine about class conflict, or merely because they cease to believe in the various social constructions of reality that held their condition to be part of God"s own arrangement. Oppressed races grow skeptical(as the world gains understanding of the games oppressors play)about the social constructions of reality that define their place and strive to keep them in it.

填空题Sometimes there are ten, even twenty different ways to go, all but one bound to be wrong, and the richness of selection in such situation can lift us onto totally new ground. This process is called exploration and is based on human fallibility. If we had only a single center in our brains, capable of responding only when a correct decision was to be made, instead of the jumble of different, credulous, easily conned clusters of neurons that provide for being flung off into blind alleys, up tress, down dead end, out into blue sky, along wrong turning, around bends, we could only stay the way we are today, stuck fast.

填空题鲁迅先生的笑声是明朗的，是从心里的欢喜。若有人说了什么可笑的话，鲁迅先生笑的连烟卷都拿不住了，常常是笑的咳嗽起来。…… 于是我说：“周先生，我的衣裳漂亮不漂亮?” 鲁迅先生从上往下看了一眼：“不大漂亮。” 过了一会又接着说：“你的裙子配的颜色不对，并不是红上衣不好看，各种颜色都是好看的，红上衣要配红裙子，不然就是黑裙子，咖啡色的就不行了；这两种颜色放在一起很浑浊……你没看到外国人在街上走的吗?绝没有下边穿一件绿裙子，上边穿一件紫上衣，也没有穿一件红裙子而后穿一件白上衣的……” 鲁迅先生就在躺椅上看着我：“你这裙子是咖啡色的，还带格子，颜色浑浊得很，所以把红色衣裳也弄得不漂亮了。” “……人瘦不要穿黑衣裳，人胖不要穿白衣裳；脚长的女人一定要穿黑鞋子，脚短就一定要穿白鞋子；方格子的衣裳胖人不能穿，但比横格子的还好；横格子的胖人穿上，就把胖子更往两边裂着，更横宽了，胖子要穿竖条子的，竖的把人显得长，横的把人显得宽……”。

填空题细娃盼过年，大人盼开春。儿时，对于大人的盼是不能理解的，但过年，对我来说，可是一年的大盼头了。过年，不但好玩，且有肉吃。那气氛是迷人的。年一过，又盼日子快些流，好流来又一个春节。 在盼中，日子真的流得飞快，转眼上了小学，继而中学，然后高中，最后大学；盼的欲望更加强烈，盼的内容也越渐丰富了：盼有好成绩毕业，盼有一份好工作，盼事业有成，盼挣钱替父母分忧，盼有一个好爱人……不知不觉，天天踩着盼的石阶而上，自己竟成了一个大男人，一个挣钱养家糊口的忙碌人了。

填空题Translate the following two Chinese paragraphs into English．(对外经济贸易大学2009研，考试科目：综合英语)发问是思想的进步，研究的动力。一切知识的获得，大都从发问而来；新发明、新创造也常常由发问开端。能发问、勤发问的人，头脑自然会日益丰富，眼光自然会日益敏锐。别人不肯动脑筋的地方，他偏会想出惊人的见解；别人以为平常的事物，他偏会看出不平常的道理。我们虽然不一定人人能成为大科学家、大思想家，但是不能不求知识，不能不明道理。要求知识、明道理，处处都会碰到问题。不能勤于发问，是多么可惜啊!

填空题"Life"s but a walking shadow, a poor player/that struts and frets his hour upon the stage,/and then is heard no more; it is a tale / told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/signifying nothing.

填空题Translate the following into English．(四川外国语大学2012研，考试科目：英语翻译与写作) 在这样一个技术与交流紧密联系的时代，面对面的信息传递对于专业成功显得愈发重要。我们比任何古人都容易获取更多的信息。轻敲几下键盘，就可以获取任何专题的大量信息。尽管我们能够得到的信息急剧增长，但我们一天二十四个小时并没有随之增加。在这个信息的海洋里，技术反而使我们更难得到合适的信息。而正因为如此，优秀的公众演讲者成了无价之宝。聆听条理清晰、语言简洁的报告仍是我们理解新信息最为省事的方式。然而，尽管公众演讲好处良多，大多数人还是惧怕面对公众进行演讲。对科学工作者而言，或许更是如此。除了所有演讲者都面临的担忧之外，他们还必须讲解复杂的专业知识。

填空题Translate the following into English．(北京航空航天大学2011研，考试科目：综合英语) 美国全国教育协会正在努力推动把教师的底薪升至四万美元。为什么不呢?这些教师们能够教会六岁的孩子作加法，能够使青少年学会代数，我们当然应该也能够好好地算一算，给教师一份对得起他们的工资。既然从受过良好教育的人中获得好处的是企业界，他们也是最富有的，那么就应该成立一个全国人才基金会，把企业盈利的税收款用来提高教师的薪酬。或许各州和社区也应该在自己的规章制度中添加这样一个条款：各州议员薪酬的上调比例不得高于教师薪酬的上调比例。 近年来，如果说教师的工资有所增长的话，其增长速度也远远低于其他职业的速度，而且通常远远落后于通货膨胀的速度。而且，教师们应该拥有这个国家最为强大的支持者：不是教师联合会，而是我们，也就是他们曾经的学生。我们能够成为一名作家，正是得益于老师们的鼓励。当然，大多数的美国人也应该有同样的感受，正是这样的一群教师，帮助他们超越了自己。
