When she died sh

15、e left Theodoric alone in a world that was as real as ever, and a good deal coarser than he considered it had any need to be. To a man of his temperament and upbringing even a simple railway journey was crammed with petty annoyances and minor discords, and as he settled himself down in a second- cla

16、ss compartment role September morning he was conscious of ruffled feelings and general mental discomposure.He had been staying at a country vicarage, the inmates of which had been certainly neither brutal nor bacchanalian, but their supervision of the domestic establishment had been of that lax orde

17、r which invites disaster. The pony carriage that was to take him to tile station had never been properly ordered, and when the moment for his departure drew near, the handyman who should have produced the required article was nowhere to be found. In this emergency Theodoric, to his mute but very int

18、ense disgust, found himself obliged to collaborate with the vicars daughter in the task of harnessing the pony, which necessitated groping about in an ill-lighted outbuilding called a stable, and smelling very like oneexcept in patches where it smelled of mice.As the train glided out of the station

19、Theodorics nervous imagination accused himself of exhaling a weak odour of stable yard, and possibly of displaying a mouldy straw or two on his unusually well-brushed garments. Fortunately the only other occupation of the compartment, a lady of about the same age as himself, seemed inclined for slum

20、ber rather than scrutiny; the train was not due to stop till the terminus was reached, in about an hours time, and the carriage was of the old-fashioned sort that held no communication with a corridor, therefore no further travelling companions were likely to intrude on Theodorics semiprivacy. And y

21、et the train had scarcely attained its normal speed before he became reluctantly but vividly aware that he was not alone with the slumbering lady; he was not even alone in his own clothes.A warm, creeping movement over his flesh betrayed the unwelcome and highly resented presence, unseen but poignan

22、t, of a strayed mouse, that had evidently dashed into its present retreat during the episode of the pony harnessing. Furtive stamps and shakes and wildly directed pinches failed to dislodge the intruder, whose motto, indeed, seemed to be Excelsior; and the lawful occupant of the clothes lay back aga

23、inst the cushions and endeavoured rapidly to evolve some means for putting an end to the dual ownership. Theodorlc was goaded into the most audacious undertaking of his life. Crimsoning to the hue of a beetroot and keeping an agonised watch on his slumbering fellow traveller, he swiftly and noiseles

24、sly secured the ends of his railway rug to the racks on either side of the carriage, so that a substantial curtain hung athwart the compartment. In the narrow dressing room that he had thus improvised he proceeded with violent haste to extricate himself partially and the mouse entirely from the surr

25、ounding casings of tweed and half-wool.As the unravelled mouse gave a wild leap to the floor, the rug, slipping its fastening at either end, also came down with a heart-curdling flop, and almost simultaneously the awakened sleeper opened her eyes. With a movement almost quicker than the mouses, Theo

26、doric pounced on the rug and hauled its ample folds chin-high over his dismantled person as he collapsed into the farther corner of the carriage. The blood raced and beat in the veins of his neck and forehead, while he waited dumbly for the communication cord to be pulled. The lady, however, content

27、ed herself with a silent stare at her strangely muffled companion. How much had she seen, Theodoric queried to himself; and in any case what on earth must she think of his present posture?（分数：4.00）(1).The word “solicitude“ in the first paragraph probably meansA. great animosity, B. excessive concern

28、.C. much inducement. D. reasonable pretext.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following does NOT describe Theodorics feeling when he was on the train?A. Uneasy. B. Fretful. C. Irritated. D.

29、ooked out of the train window.B. She intended to talk with Theoforic.C. She had fallen into a deep sleep.D. She looked at Theoforic up and down.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).Theoforie did all the following to get the mouse out of his clothes EXCEPTA. pressing the mouse between his fingers.B. putting his feet

30、 down onto the ground.C. moving from side to side or up and down.D. undressing himself to catch the mouse.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.七、TEXT B(总题数：1，分数：5.00)Since the Titanic vanished beneath the frigid waters of the North Atlantic 85 years ago, nothing in the hundreds of books and films about the ship has eve

31、r hinted at a connection to Japan - until now. Director James Camerons 200 million epic Titanic premiered at the Tokyo International Fihn Festival last Saturday. Among the audience for a glimpse of Hollywoods costliest film ever descendants of the liners only Japanese survivor.The newly rediscovered

32、 diary of Masabumix Hosono has Titanic enthusiasts in a frenzy, the document is scrawled in 4,300 Japanese character on a rare piece of RMS Titanic stationery. Written as the Japanese bureaucrat steamed to safety in New York aboard the ocean liner Carpathia, which rescued 706 survivors, the account

33、and other documents released by his grandchildren last week offer a fresh - and poignant - reminder of the emotional wreckage left by the tragedy.Hosono, then 42 and an official at Japans Transportation Ministry, was studying railway networks in Europe. He boarded the Titanic in Southampton, en rout

34、e home via the US. According to Hosonos account, he was awakened by a loud knock on the door of his second - class deck with the steerage passengers. Hosono tried to race back upstairs, but a sailor blocked his way. The Japanese feigned ignorance and pushed past. He arrived on deck to find lifeboats

35、 being lowered into darkness, flares bursting over the ship and an eerie human silence. He wrote:“ Not a single passenger would howl or scream.“Yet Hosono was screaming inside. Women were being taken to lifeboats and men held back at gunpoint. “I tried to prepare myself for the last moment with no a

36、gitation, making up my mind not to do any- thing disgraceful as a Japanese,“ he wrote. “But still I found myself looking for and waiting for any possible chance of survival.“ Then an officer shouted, “Room for two more “ Hosono recalled:“ I myself was deep in desolate thought that I would no more be

37、 able to see my beloved wife and children.“ Then he jumped into the boat.When Hosono arrived in Tokyo two months later, he was met with suspicion that he had survived at someone elses expense. The culture of shame was especially strong in prewar Japan. In the face of rumors and bad press, Hosono was

38、 dismissed from his post in 1914. He worked at the office part -time until retiring in 1923. His grandchildren say he never mentioned tile Titanic again before his death in 1939.Even then, shame continued to haunt the family. In newspapers, letters and even a school textbook, Hosono was denounced as

39、 a disgrace to Japan. Readers Digest reopened the wound in 1956 with an a- bridged Japanese version of Walter Loads best seller. A Night to remember, which described , Anglo - Saxons“ as acting bravely on the Titanic, while “Frenchmen, Italians, Americans, Japanese and Chinese were disgraceful.“ Cit

40、ing his fathers diary, one of Hosonos sons, Hideo, launched a letter -writing campaign to restore the family name. But nobody in Japan seemed to care.The diary resurfaced last summer. A representative for a US foundation that plans to hold an exhibition of Titanic artifacts in Japan next August foun

41、d Hosonos name on a passenger list. A search led him to Ha-ruomix Hosono, a well- known composer, and to his cousin Yuruoi, Hideos daughter. She revealed that she had her grandfathers dairy as well as a collection of his letters and postcards. “I was floored,“ says Mixchael Findley, cofounder of the

42、 Titanic International Society in the US “This is a fantastic, fresh new look at the sinking and the only one written on Titanic stationery immediately after the disaster.“The information allows enthusiasts to rearrange some historical minutes, such as which lifeboat Hosono jumped into. More chillin

43、g, the account confirms that the crew tried to keep foreigners and third - class passengers on the ships lower deck, effectively ensuring their name. Tile diary cannot correct injustice, but Hosonos family hopes it will help clear his name2 The Titanic foundation also hopes to capitalize on the diar

44、y and the movie to promote its upcoming exhibition. To that end, Haruomix Hosono, the composer, has been asked to give a talk at next months public premiere of Titanic! The diary cannot, of course, match Camerons fictionalized epic for drama and intrigue. But at least Masabumix Hosonos tale really h
