Whatever it is, debut author Susann

14、a Clarke is possessed by it, and her astonished readers will surely hope she never recovers. Her epic history of an alternative, magical England is so beautifully realized that not one of the many enchantments Clarke chronicles in the book could ever be as potent or as quickening as her own magnific

15、ent narrative.It is 1806, and Gilbert Norrell is the only true magician in England. He sets out to restore the practice of magic to a nation that has not seen it for more than 300 years. But there is an odd and fateful twist to Norrells character: he is as scholarly and insufferably pedantic as he i

16、s gifted. In short, Norrell is the most boring and unmagical person imaginable. This is Clarkes masterstroke, the necessary touch of ordinary candleshine in the midst of all the uncanny fairy light she dispenses.Enter Jonathan Strange, the intuitive magicianthe naturalwho can improvise in a flash wh

17、at Norrell has gleaned from long study. Strange becomes Norrells pupil, but soon the tension between their styles mounts to a breaking point. The two men realize that they have a fundamental disagreement about how to approach the mysterious and terrifying sources of English magic, in the face of whi

18、ch even Albus Dumbledore might find himself unnerved.Just as Norrell and Strange apprentice themselves to a Golden Age of medieval magicians, Clarke tethers her craft to the great 19th-century English masters of the novel, Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. The book offers not only an Austen-like inqu

19、iry into the fine human line between ridiculous flaw and serious consequence, but also a Dickensian flow of language in which a comical surplus of detail rings at last with certain and inevitable significance.This elixir of literary influences gives the story its delightful texture. But there is so

20、much more to Jonathan Strange but it is not forgivable.Take this, for example: “National citizenship is inherently exclusionary.“ So no foreigners need ever apply for naturalisation, then. And“ . public anxiety about migration . is usually based on a rational understanding of the value of British ci

21、tizenship and its incompatibility with over-porous borders“. Straight from the lexicon of the far right. And best of all: “You can have a welfare state provided that you are a homogenous society with intensely shared values.”These are extracts from an article in the Observer, penned by the liberal i

22、ntellectual Goodhart, who is just one of several liberal thinkers now vigorously making what they consider a progressive argument against immigration. It goes like this: the more diverse a society, the less likely its citizens are to share common values; the fewer common values, the weaker the suppo

23、rt for vital institutions of social solidarity, such as the welfare state and the National Health Service.There are perfectly good reasons to worry about how we respond to immigration, not least the downward pressure on workers wages; the growth of racial inequality; and the exploitation of illegals

24、. But the answer to these problems is not genteel xenophobia, but trade union rights, backed by equality and employment law.The xenophobes should come clean. Their argument is not about immigration at all. They are liberal Powellites; what really bothers them is race and culture. If todays immigrant

25、s were white people from the old Commonwealth, Goodhart and his friends would say that they pose no threat because they share Anglo-Saxon values.Unfortunately for liberal Powellites, the real history of the NHS shatters their fundamental case against diversity. The NHS is a world-beating example of

26、the way that ethnic diversity can create social solidarity. Launched by a Welshman, built by Irish labourers, founded on the skills of Caribbean nurses and Indian doctors, it is now being rescued by an emergency injection of Filipino nurses, refugee ancillaries and antipodean medics. And it remains

27、100% British.Virtually all of our public services have depended heavily on immigrants. Powell was forced to admit as much when, as minister for health he advertised for staff in the Caribbean. His new admirers will discover that a rapidly depopulating Europe will have no choice but to embrace divers

28、ity.For the moment, however, the liberal Powellites are gaining support in high places. Their ideas are inspired by the work of the American sociologist Putnam, a Downing Street favourite. He purports to show that dynamic, diverse communities are more fragmented than stable, monoethnic ones. But the

29、 policy wonks have forgotten that Putnams research was conducted in a society so marked by segregation that even black millionaires still live in gated ghettoes.The prime minister still seems uneasy on the issue. Last week, he wavered uncertainly between backing his pro-immigration home secretary, a

30、nd a defensive response to Howards goading that the government was in a mess on the topic.Oddly enough, this is a place in the arena of world politics where the PM does not stand shoulder to shoulder with Bush. The Spanish-speaking former governor of Texas recently announced that he would “regularis

31、e“ the status of millions of illegal Mexican immigrants who had slipped across the border to work. Its the kind of massive amnesty that would send the Daily Express into conniptions.Even more peculiar, the prime minister appears to be ignoring not only Blunkett but also his new best friend, the Labo

32、ur mayor of London, Livingstone, and Scotlands first minister, McConnell. London wants more immigrants to keep pace with its booming economy, Scotland wants them to boost its ageing work force. Yet the liberal Powellites still seem prepared to confront a Bush-Blunkett-Livingstone-McConnell axis, bec

33、ause they are scared witless by the far right. They hope that by appeasing racism, theyll make it go away. But this is a beast with an insatiable appetite.The French discovered that too late; the thuggish National Front is now Frances second largest party, with one in five likely to vote for them in

34、 upcoming local elections. Liberal secularists who joined in the assault on the rights of French Muslims now have to find a convincing explanation for their cowardice, which has also betrayed the freedom of expression of French Jews and Christians.In Holland, this spinelessness has ended up as strai

35、ght leftwing racism. The previously liberal Dutch establishment is now pushing an asylum policy so extreme even the Sun was moved to criticise it.The line up that favours managed migration and diversityBlunkett, McConnell, Livingstone, Bush and the Sunshare one quality that the PM should envy more t

36、han any other at present., they are all popular with the public. Maybe the government ought to pay more heed to this focus group than the ones that see scary foreigners on every street corner.Perhaps we should also be creating an even more progressive immigration policy, for example offering easier

37、admission to those who will bring their skills to the depopulated regions of the north. The Americans will next year offer more work permits to IT whizzkids from India than ever before; and before the middle of the century, the world s strongest economy will become its most ethnically diverse. Our o

38、wn population is still over 92% white; we shouldnt be duped by anxious faint-hearts into becoming an all-white backwater.（分数：5.00）(1).At the beginning of the passage the writer sounds critical of _.（分数：1.00）A.genteel xenophobiaB.liberal commitmentC.Britains multi-ethnicityD.populist bigotry(2).Accor

39、ding to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?（分数：1.00）A.Those who dislike immigrants should admit their mistakes.B.The UK and the US do not agree on the immigration issue.C.The Daily Express supports Texass regularizing illegal immigrants.D.Racism will not automatically come to

40、 an end if people give in to it.(3).The writer seems to side with _.（分数：1.00）A.the far rightB.the liberal PowellitesC.the liberal Dutch establishmentD.the Bush-Blunkett-Livingstone-McConnell axis(4).It can be inferred from the passage that _.（分数：1.00）A.it is beneficial for Britain to be a homogeneou

41、s societyB.it is beneficial for Britain to be ethnically more diverseC.the French National Front is cowardD.the Sun enjoys the greatest popularity(5).This passage is most probably part of _.（分数：1.00）A.an ethnic studyB.a newspaper articleC.a government reportD.a research report八、TEXT C(总题数：1，分数：4.00)

42、Rudolf Virchow was among the greatest minds in medicine in the 19th century. As a result of his hard work and determination, great strides were made in the fields of pathological and physiological medicine. Virchow attended Friederich Institute where he studied to become a physician. Throughout his

43、studies, Virchow performed a plethora of research disproving that phlebitis was the cause of most diseases. Once he graduated from Friederich Institute, Virchow went on to study at the University of Berlin where he became a medical doctor in 1843. He was championed as the founder of cellular patholo

44、gy because of his extensive research that disease is created and reproduced at the cellular level of the body.Virchow also took on the role of educator. He was involved in opening a school of nursing in Friederichshain Hospital and designed the new sewer system for the city of Berlin. In 1856, he wa

45、s appointed as Chair of the Pathological Anatomy Department at the University of Berlin and the new Pathology Institute opened there as well. One of his greatest accomplishments in his career happened in 1874, when he introduced the standardized technique to perform autopsies.Virchow was extremely a

46、ctive in his community and had a passion for life-long learning. He was elected to the Berlin City Council for exclusive work in the areas of public health. He reported that the poor housing conditions, declining milk supply and sepsis found throughout the area contributed to the high infant mortali

47、ty rate in the area. In his opinion the Government was not living up to his expectations of taking care of the people of Germany.He had regularly authored articles through his journal, Medicinische Reform, demanding social change from the German government, focusing largely on the idea that the prof

48、ession of physicians should be unified and that medical education should have more training in clinical medicine related to diagnosis based on physiologic medicine. Basically, he was a forerunner in the field of primary prevention of disease., treating the symptoms before the disease set into the body.He campaigned for drastic social reform and had also contributed to the development ,of anthropology as a modern science and in 1869 was a founder of the German Anthropological Society, and the Berlin Society for Anthropology, Ethnology and Prehistory, presiding over t
