填空题"While the Sears Tower is arguably the greatest achievement in skyscraper engineering so far, it"s unlikely that architects and engineers have abandoned the quest for the world"s tallest building. The question is: Just how high can a building go? Structural engineer William LeMessurier has designed a skyscraper nearly one-half mile high, twice as tall as the Sears Tower. And architect Robert Sobel claims that existing technology could produce a 500-story building. "(From Ron Bachman)

填空题Translate the Following English into Chinese.(浙江工商大学2009研,考试科目:翻译与写作)I do have the feeling that all stories by one writer tend to spring from the same source within him. However they differ in subject or approach, however they vary in excellence or fluctuate in their power to alter the mind or mood or move the heat, all of one writer"s stories must take on their quality, carry their signature, because of one characteristic, lyrical impulse of his mind—the impulse to praise, to love, to call up, to prophesy. But then what countless stories share a common source! All writers write out of the same few, few and eternal—love, pity, terror do not change.Sources of stories could be examined with less confusion, perhaps, not in the subjective terms of emotion, but through finding what in the outside world leads back to those emotions most directly and tautly and specifically. The surest clue is the pull on the line, the "inspiration" , the outside signal that has startled or moved the creative mind to complicity and brought the story to active being: the irresistible, the magnetic, the alarming(pleasurable or disturbing), the overwhelming person, place, or thing.

填空题画中已经有诗。有些画家还怕诗意不够明显,在画面上更题上或多或少的诗词字句。我想,画的最高境界不是可以读得懂的。一说到读便牵涉到文章词句,便要透过思想的程序;而画的美妙处却在于透过视觉而直接诉诸人的心灵。话给人的那种心灵上的享受,不可言说,说便不着。

填空题Translate the following passage from Chinese into English.Write your English version on the answer sheet.(上海交通大学2006研,考试科目:英语水平考试)
我冒了严寒,回到相隔二千余里,别了二十余年的故乡去,时候既然是深冬;渐近故乡时,天气又阴晦了,冷风吹进船舱中,从篷隙向外一望,在苍黄的天底下,远近横着几个萧索的荒村,没有一点活气,我的心禁不住悲凉起来了。
啊!这不是我二十年来时记得的故乡?
我所记得的故乡全不如此。我的故乡好多了。但要我记起他的美丽,说出他的佳处来,却没有影像,没有言辞了。仿佛也就是如此。于是我自己解释说:故乡本也如此,——虽然没有进步,也未必有如我所感的悲凉,这只是我自己心情的改变罢了,因为我这次回乡,本没有什么好心情。
我这次是专为了别他而来的。我们多年聚族而居的老屋,已经共同卖给别姓了,交屋的期限,只在本年,所以必须赶在正月初一以前,永别了熟识的老屋,而且远离了熟识的故乡,搬到我在谋食的异地去。

填空题有人喜欢看猴子,看那些乖巧伶俐的动物,略具人形,而生活究竟简陋,于是令人不由得生出优越之感,掏一把花生掷进去。有人喜欢看狮子跳火圈,狗作算学,老虎翻筋头,觉得有趣。我之看骆驼则是另外一种心情,骆驼扮演的是悲剧的角色。它的槛外是冷冷清清的,没有游人围绕,所谓槛也只是一根杉木横着拦在门口。地上是烂糟糟的。它卧在那里,老远一看,真像是大块的毛姜,逼近一看,真可吓人!一块块的毛都在脱落,斑剥的皮肤上隐隐的露着血迹。嘴张着,下巴垂着,有上气无下气的在喘。水汪汪的两只眼睛好像是眼泪扑簌的盼望着能见亲族一面似的。腰间的肋骨历历可数,颈子又细又长,尾巴像是一条破扫帚。骆峰只剩下了干皮,像是一只麻袋搭在背上。骆驼为什么落到这悲惨地步呢?难道“沙漠之舟”的雄姿即不过如是吗?

填空题Translate the following into Chinese.One sunny morning in June in the 1810"s, there drove up to the gates of Miss Pinkerton"s academy for young ladies, a large family coach. "It is Mrs. Seldley"s coach, sister, "said Miss Jemima. "Have you completed all the necessary preparations for Miss Sedley"s departure? I trust you have made a copy of Miss Sedley"s account. Be kind enough to address it to John Sedley, and to seal this letter that I have written to his lady, "said Miss Pinkerton herself.Miss Sedley was a lovely young lady. She had such a kind, generous heart that she won the love of everyone who came near her. Her face blushed with rosy health and her eyes sparkled with the brightest and honestest goodhumor.Miss Pinkerton spoke highly of her in the letter and it completed, she began to write her own name and Miss Sedley"s on the first page of a Johnson"s Dictionary, which she always presented to her pupils on their departure.Miss Jemima, with rather a timid air, handed her sister a second copy of the book. "For Becky Sharp, "said she, " she"s going too. " " Miss Jemima!" exclaimed Miss Pinkerton, " Are you in your sense? Replace the dictionary in the closet. "Miss Sedley"s father was a merchant in London and a man of some wealth, while Miss Sharp was an articled student, for whom Miss Pinkerton thought she had done enough, without conferring upon her the honor of the dictionary.Miss Sharp"s father was an artist, and had given lessons of drawing at Miss Pinkerton"s school. He was a clever man but with a habit of running into debt. He married a French opera girl. When both her parents died, Rebecca was seventeen and came to Miss Pinkerton"s school as an articled student. She was small and thin: pale, sandy haired, and with eyes habitually cast down: when they looked up they were very large, odd and attractive. The happiness, the superior advantage of the young women about her, gave Rebecca an inexpressible feeling of envy. "I am a thousand times cleverer and more charming than most of them, yet everybody ignores me. "She determined at any rate to change her fate.She took advantage of the means of study that was offered to her and went through the little course of education considered necessary for young ladies at those days. Her music she practiced continuously, and one day she was overheard to play a piece so well that Miss Pinkerton thought she could spare herself the expense of a master for the juniors and told Miss Sharp that she was to instruct them in music. To the astonishment of the headmistress, the girl refused. " I am here to speak French with the children, " Rebecca said, " not to teach them music, and save money for you. Give me money, and I will teach them. "The lady was obliged to yield, though she spoke of having nourished a snake in her chest."There is no question of gratitude between us, "was Rebecca"s answer, "You took me because I was useful. Give me a sum of money and get rid of me, or, if you like better, get me a good place as governess in a nobleman"s family. " As Miss Pinkerton could not cancel her contract without making some payment, she at last, hearing that Sir Pitt Crawley"s family was in want of a governess, actually recommended Miss Sharp for the post.Thus the world began for these two young ladies. Invited by the gentle, tender-hearted Amelia, the only person with whom she could have some kind of friendship, Rebecca was to stay with the Sedley"s for ten days before she took the new job.—From Vanity Fair by W. M. Thackery
填空题It is perhaps natural that having passed through that painful and boring process, called expressly education, they should suppose it over, and that they are equipped for life to label every event as it occurs and drop it into its given pigeonhole. But one who has a label ready for everything does not bother to observe any more, even such ordinary happenings as he has observed for himself, with attention, before he went to school. He merely acts and reacts.
