each missing blank. Then write down the corresponding letter on your answer
sheet. (10/150)
Americans often assume that overwork is an inevitable fact of life—like death and taxes. In
4
our era, almost every other industrialized nation has fewer annual working hours and longer
vacations than the United States. 21. . Jeremy Brecher noted that
European unions during the 1980s made a powerful and largely successful push to cut working
hours.
Perhaps the most formidable barrier to more freetime for Americans is the widespread
mindset that the 40-hour workweek, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, is a natural rhythm of the
universe. 22. . A second obstacle to launching a powerful shorter
work-time movement is America’s deeply ingrained work ethic, which fosters the widely held
belief that people who do not work long and hard are lazy, unproductive, and worthless.
23. . Many of us identify ourselves almost entirely by the
kind of work we do. Work still has a powerful psychological and spiritual hold over our
lives—and talk of shorter work-time may seem somehow morally suspicious.
24. . Also much of our non-work time is spent not just in
personal renewal, but in building and maintaining essential social ties—with family, friends, and
the larger community. Today, as mothers and fathers spend more and more time on the job, we are
beginning to recognize the deleterious effects of the breakdown of social ties and community in
American life. 25. .
A. The simple fact is that Americans today are spending too much time at work, to the detriment
of their homes, their families, their personal lives, and their communities.
B. This includes all of Western Europe, where many nations enjoy thriving economies and
standards of living equal to or higher than ours.
C. For many Americans today, paid work is not just a way to make money but is a crucial source
of their self-worth.
D. This view is reinforced by the media’s complete silence regarding the shorter work-time and
more favorable vacation and family-leave policies of other countries.
E. Unfortunately, our nation reacts to these problems by calling for more paid professionals
without recognizing the possibility that shorter work hours and more free time could enable us to
do much of the necessary rebuilding and healing.
F. Because we are so deeply a work-oriented society, leisure-time activities are not looked on as
essential and worthwhile components of life.
Part III: Reading Comprehension. Read the following essay and then answer the questions
below. Write your answers on your answer sheet. (30/150)
Women Are Prisoners of Their Sex
[1]Women are free. At least, they look free. They even feel free. But in reality women in the
western, industrialized world today are like the animals in a modern zoo. There are no bars. It
appears that cages have been abolished. Yet in practice women are still kept in their place just as
firmly as the animals are kept in their enclosures. Women have fallen victim to one of the most
insidious and ingenious confidence tricks ever perpetrated. The ingenious point about the
new-model zoo is that it deceives both sides of the invisible barrier. Not only cannot the animal
see how it is imprisoned; the visitor’s conscience is relieved of the unkindness of keeping animals
shut up.
[2]The pressures society exerts to drive men out of the house are very nearly as irrational and
5
unjust as those by which it keeps women in. Society is playing on our sexual vanity. Tell a man
that he is not a real man, or a woman that she is not 100 percent woman, and you are threatening
both with not being attractive to the opposite sex. No one can bear not to be attractive to the
opposite sex. That’s the climate which the human animal cannot tolerate. So society has us all at
its mercy. It has only to murmur to the man that staying home is a feminine characteristic, and he
will be out of the house like a bullet. It has only to suggest to the woman that logic and reason are
the exclusive province of the mansculine mind, where intuition and feeling are the female forte,
and she will throw her physics textbooks out of the window. So brilliantly has society contrived to
terrorize women with this threat that certain behavior is unnatural and unwomanly, that it has left
them no time to consider—or even sheerly observe-what womanly nature really is. Fright has
thrown her into such a muddle that she confuses having no taste for cookery with having no
breasts, and conversely assumes that nature has unfailingly endowed the human female with a
special handiness with frying pans.
[3] Even psychoanalysis has unwittingly reinforced the terrorization campaign. The trouble
was that it brought with it from its origin a medical therapy a criterion of normality instead of
rationality. If a woman who is irked by confinement to the kitchen merely looks around to see
what other women are doing and finds they are accepting their kitchens, she may well conclude
that she is abnormal and had better enlist her psychoanalyst’s help toward living with her kitchen.
What she ought to ask is whether it is rational for women to be kept to the kitchen, and whether
nature really does insist on that in the way it insists women have breasts.
[4] The normal and natural thing for human beings is not to tolerate handicaps but to reform
society and to circumvent or supplement nature. In reality, the whole idea of a specifically
feminine or masculine contribution to culture is a contradiction of culture. A contribution to
culture is not something which could not have been made by the other sex; it is something which
could not have been made by any other person. Not only are the distinctions we draw between
male nature and female nature largely arbitrary and often pure superstition, they are completely
beside the point. They ignore the essence of human nature. The important question is not whether
women are or are not less logical by nature than men, but whether education, effort and the
abolition of our illogical social pressures can improve on nature and make them—and, incidentally,
men as well—more logical.
[5] Civilization consists not necessarily in defying nature but in making it possible for us to
do so if we judge it desirable. The higher we can lift our noses from the grindstone of nature, the
wider the area we have of choice; and the more choices we have freely made, the more
individualized we are. We are at our mostcivilized when nature does not dictate to us, as it does to
animals and peasants, but when we can opt to fall in with it or better it. If modern civilization has
invented methods of preparing baby foods and methods of education which make it possible for
men to feed babies and for women to think logically, we are betraying civilization itself if we do
not set both sexes free to make a free choice.
Tasks: Answer the following questions.
26. In paragraph 1, the author uses an analogy to illustrate her argument. What is the analogy and

28. Explain the sentence “Even psychoanalysis has unwittingly reinforced the terrorization

4) (5/150)
30. Write a summary of the text with about 100 words.(10/150)
Part IV: Translate the following passages. Write your answers on your answer
sheet. (60/150)
Task 1: Translation from English to Chinese (30/150)
31. The young Americans are energetic, ambitious, enterprising, and good, but their talents
and interests and money thrust them not into books and ideas and history and civics, but into a
whole other realm and other consciousness. A different social life and a different mental life have
formed among them. Technology has bred it, but the result doesn't tally with the fulsome
descriptions of digital empowerment, global awareness, and virtual communities. Instead of
opening young American minds to the stores of civilization and science and politics, technology
has contracted their horizon to themselves, to the social scene around them.Young people have
never been so intensely mindful of and present to one another, and so enabled in adolescent
contact. Teen images and songs, hot gossip and games, and youth-to-youth communications no
longer limited by time or space wrap them up in a generational cocoon reaching all the way into
their bedrooms. The autonomy has a cost: the more they attend to themselves, the less they
remember the past and envision a future.
Task 2: Translation from Chinese to English. (30/150)
32. 天空還是一片淺藍，顏色很淺。轉眼間天邊出現了一道紅霞，慢慢地在擴大它的范
圍，加強它的亮光。我知道太陽要從天邊升起來了，便不轉眼地望著那里。果然過了一會兒，
在那個地方出現了太陽的小半邊臉，紅是真紅，卻沒有亮光。這個太陽好像負著重荷似地一
步一步、慢慢地努力上升，到了最后，終于沖破了云霞，完全跳出了海面，顏色紅得非?？?br/>愛。一剎那間，這個深紅的圓東西，忽然發出了奪目的亮光，射得人眼睛發痛，它旁邊的云
片也突然有了光彩。有時太陽走進了云堆中，它的光線卻從云里射下來，直射到水面上。這
時候要分辨出哪里是水，哪里是天，倒也不容易，因為我就只看見一片燦爛的亮光。這時候
發亮的不僅是太陽、云和海水，連我自己也成了明亮的了。
Part V: Writing. (30/150)
33. Write an essay of about 300 words in which you set forth your comments on Socrates’
saying that “An Unexamined Life is not Worth Living ”.

the above instruction may result in loss of marks.
