24、Ive spent the past three weeks. The wolf and the lynx have both returned to the forests. The naturalists have been rejoicing. Theres been a TV documentary. Meanwhile the local farmers and hunters have disappeared into the forests with their rifles. Jan and Lennart, the sons of the farmer at the end

25、of the lake, were particularly aggrieved that the lynx (thats a wild cat to you townies) was killing “their“ deer, and the urban bureaucrats who had decided to protect it only increased their rage. They vowed to track the animal down. “Did they kill it?“ I asked one local man. “They didnt say“, he r

26、eplied with a hint of a wink. What does the word “rural“ mean to you? Organic, perhaps. Wholesome. Gemeinschaft (or do I mean Gesellschaft?). Conservative. Marxs “rural idiocy“ maybe. To me the countryside is about paranoia. It breeds independence and idiosyncrasy and other nice things but also the

27、sort of people who wander onto Capitol Hill in order to kill some senators or declare war on the FBI for being an essentially socialist organization. For people who live in and off the countryside, there always seems to be the idea that “they“the bureaucrats, the government, the city folkare out to

28、get them. What they despise almost as much as city folk themselves are the sort of things that city folk like about the countryside, footpaths, beauty spots, old buildings, rare flora and fauna, ancient sites of historical interest. To select from my experience of the past few weeks, the land that w

29、as once owned by my late grandparents contained a meadow that was famous across Sweden (well, it was once featured on the front page of the local newspaper) for its rare plants. A couple of weeks ago my cousinan engineer and part-time farmer with a flock of four sheep and one ramfenced the meadow of

30、f, set the sheep loose into it and within two days it duly looked like a bit of scrub in a corner of a derelict industrial estate. Incidentally, when your correspondent went to investigate this vandalism, the said ram pursued him across the field in a way that was later said to be hilarious to onloo

31、kers. Another local man carries around a special bullet in case he should ever get on the trail of a wolf. The normal bullets used for hunting deer and elk have soft tips so that they spread out on contact and cause devastating fatal wounds. But this special wolf bullet has a hard tip so that it wil

32、l pass right through the animal, leaving a relatively small (though almost certainly fatal) wound. The dying wolf will then probably walk tens of miles before it dies, thus preventing “them“ from identifying the slayers of this absurdly protected predator. And this happens in a province which has a

33、wolf as its official symbol. Theres more. A neighboring lake has become home to what I was informed is an exceedingly rare kind of hawk. But the local people who have spotted it have kept its presence a closely guarded secret. If they told ornithologists about it, then the next thing that would happ

34、en is that they would probably want to come into the area and start to look at the bloody thing, and once these bureaucrats and scientists get their claws into an area, who knows where it will end? Much of this is probably true of rural areas everywhere, but in Sweden it has been exacerbated by the

35、Byzantine bureaucracy that was generated by 40 years of social democracy, a system that led both to some of the finest public services and to the situation in which the countrys greatest living artist, Ingmar Bergman, under suspicion of a minor tax transgression, was publicly arrested and interrogat

36、ed in a manner that might have been thought excessive by Beria. One of the fundamental Swedish rights is entitled allamansrdtt, which permits anybody to walk, pick berries or mushrooms virtually anywhere. Some local businessmen have hired Polish workers to come up to Sweden and pick mushrooms but th

37、ey havent been to our area more than once. When they emerged from this forest they found that the tyres in their bikes and cars were mysteriously flat. Its somehow a typically Swedish paradox: you have the legal right to go where you like, hut dont let that give you the idea that you can just go any

38、where.（分数：12.50）(1).The attitude held by the locals towards the bureaucrats and the government can best be described as _. A. hated B. distrust C. contempt D. reverence（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.(2).The experience described by the author in third paragraph is intended to show that _. A. local farmers hate the

39、 good things valued by the city folk because they hate city folk themselves B. vandalism is of common occurrence in the countryside C. my cousin had a deep affection for his sheep and ram D. correspondents were unwelcome to the land（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.(3).In the fourth paragraph, which adjective(s) can

40、 be best applied to the local man for his behavior? A. Funny. B. Cunning. C. Cruel and mean D. Resourceful and creative.（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.(4).The writer thinks that Byzantine bureaucracy _. A. is too stringent in carrying out the laws B. deserves compliments for its achievements in preventing crimes

41、C. is highly democratic D. contributes little to the public welfare（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.(5).The writer gave the description in a _ tone. A. dispassionate B. eulogizing C. positive and exaggerating D. negative and bitter（分数：2.50）A.B.C.D.Questions 610 Steven Spielherg has taken Hollywoods depiction of war

42、 to a new level. He does it right at the start of Saving Private Ryan, in a 25 minute sequence depicting the landing of American forces on Omaha Beach in 1944. This is not the triumphant version of D-Day were used to seeing, but an inferno of severed arms, spilling intestines, flying corpses and blo

43、od-red tides. To those of us who have never fought in a war, this reenactmentnewsreel-like in its verisimilitude, hallucinatory in its impactleaves you convinced that Spielberg has taken you closer to the chaotic, terrifying sights and sounds of combat than any filmmaker before him. This prelude is

44、so strong, so unnerving, that I feared it would overwhelm the rest of the film When the narrative proper begins, theres an initial feeling of diminishment, its just a movie, after all, with the usual banal music cues and actors going through their paces. Fortunately, the feeling passes. Saving Priva

45、te Ryan reasserts its grip on you and, for most of its 2 hour and 40 minute running time, holds you in thrall. Our heroes are a squad of eight soldiers lucky enough to survived Omaha Beach. Now they are sent, under the command of Captain Miller (Tom Hanks), to find and safely return from combat a Pr

46、ivate Ryan (Matt Damon), whose three brothers have already died in action. Why should they risk their lives to save one man? The question haunts them, and the movie. The squad is a familiar melting-pot assortment of World War Two gruntsthe cynical New Yorker (Edward Burns) who doesnt want to risk hi

47、s neck; the Jew (Adam Goldberg); the Italian (Vin Diesel); the Bible-quoting sniper from Tennessee (Barry Pepper); the medic (Giovanni Ribisi). The most terrified is an inexperienced corporal (Jeremy Davies) brought along as a translator. Davies seems to express every possible variety of fear on his

48、 eloquently scrawny face. Tom Sizemore is also impressive as Millers loyal second in command. As written by Robert Rodat, they could be any squad in any war movie. But Spielberg and his actors make us care deeply about their fate. Part of the movies power comes from Hanks quietly mysterious performance as their decent, reticent leader (the men have a pool going speculating about what he did in civilian life). Theres an unhistrionic fatalism in Captain Miller; he just wants to get the job done and get
