However little know

14、n the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighborhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered the rightful property of some one or other of their daughters. “My dear Mr. Bennet,“ said his lady to him one day, “have you

15、heard that Netherfield Park is let at last?“ Mr. Bennet replied that he had not. “ But it is,“ returned she; “for Mrs. Long has just been here, and she told me all about it. “ Mr. Bennet made no answer. “Do you not want to know who has taken it?“ cried his wife impatiently. “You want to tell me, and

16、 I have no objection to hearing it. “ This was invitation enough. “Why, my dear, you must know, Mrs. Long says that Netherfield is taken by a young man of large fortune from the north of England; that he came down on Monday in a chaise and four4 to see the place, and was so much delighted with it, t

17、hat he agreed with Mr. Morris immediately; that he is to take possession before Michaelmas, and some of his servants are to be in the house by the end of next week. “ “What is his name?“ “ Bingley. “ “Is he married or single?“ “Oh! Single, my dear, to be sure! A single man of large fortune; four or

18、five thousand a year. What a fine thing for our girls!“ “How so? How can it affect them?“ “My dear Mr. Bennet,“ replied his wife, “how can you be so tiresome! You must know that I am thinking of his marrying one of them. “ “Is that his design in settling here?“ “Design! Nonsense, how can you talk so

19、! But it is very likely that he may fall in love with one of them, and therefore you must visit him as soon as he comes. “ “I see no occasion for that. You and the girls may go, or you may send them by themselves, which perhaps will be still better, for as you are as handsome as any of them, Mr. Bin

20、gley may like you the best of the party. “ “ My dear, you flatter me. I certainly have had my share of beauty, but I do not pretend to be anything extraordinary now. When a woman has five grown-up daughters, she ought to give over thinking of her own beauty. “ “In such cases, a woman has not often m

21、uch beauty to think of. “ “But, my dear, you must indeed go and see Mr. Bingley when he comes into the neighborhood. “ “ It is more than I engage for, I assure you. “ “ But consider your daughters. Only think what an establishment it would be for one of them. Sir William and Lady Lucas are determine

22、d to go, merely on that account, for in general, you know, they visit no newcomers. Indeed you must go, for it will be impossible for us to visit him if you do not. “ “ You are over-scrupulous, surely. I dare say Mr. Bingley will be very glad to see you; and I will send a few lines by you to assure

23、him of my hearty consent to his marrying whichever he chooses of the girls; though I must throw in a good word for my little Lizzy. “ “ I desire you will do no such thing. Lizzy is not a bit better than the others; and I am sure she is not half so handsome as Jane, nor half so good-humored as Lydia.

24、 But you are always giving her the preference. “ “ They have none of them much to recommend them,“ replied he;“ they are all silly and ignorant like other girls; but Lizzy has something more of quickness than her sisters. “ “ Mr. Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take de

25、light in vexing me. You have no compassion for my poor nerves. “ “ You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these last twenty years at least. “ Mr. Bennet was so odd a mixture of quick parts, sarcastic h

26、umor, reserve, and caprice, that the experience of three-and-twenty years had been insufficient to make his wife understand his character. Her mind was less difficult to develop. She was a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper. When she was discontented, she fancied h

27、erself nervous. The business of her life was to get her daughters married; its solace was visiting and news. 18 The very beginning sentence shows the authors_. （ A） Enthusiasm （ B） Optimism （ C） Humor （ D） Cynicism 19 Mr. Bennet treats his wifes questions_. （ A） lightly （ B） seriously （ C） criticall

35、. （ A） Belfast （ B） Cardiff （ C） Edinburgh （ D） Dublin 二、 PART IV PROOFREADING if committed by juvenile males, they have traditionally been looked over leniently (5)_ by the courts. Thus, ironically, the plight of female delinquencies (6)_ receives little scrutiny because they are accused of committ

36、ing relatively minor offenses. Secondly, the courts have long justified (7)_ so-called preventive intervention into the lives of young females viewed as antisocial with the rationale women are especially (8)_ vulnerable. Traditional stereotypes of women for the weaker and (9)_ more independent sex h

37、ave led to earlier intervention and longer (10)_ periods of misdirected supervision for female delinquents than for males. SECTION A CHINESE TO ENGLISH Directions: Translate the following text into English. 43 凡事不逃避，我喝我的 清茶。荷花居污泥而不染，若为怕水污而种在旱地上，它早就枯死了。人生也一样避恶。避丑、避邪，只能说明自己心灵脆弱。一个自我安定的人是不怕环境污染自己的，而有力量

38、影响他人。古代孟母三迁是为了怕他受环境影响，要为自己就没必要逃避了，后来孟子长大成人后也没听说孟母再搬家。 自我安定可不是找一个安定的所在，而恰恰是在紊乱的环境中保持安定的心境。“定 ”是一种境界，是居于多变之中的不动摇。只有待到这一境界才能掌握自己的方向，才能做到 “他饮他的花酒，我喝我的清茶 ”。 SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE Directions: Translate the following text into Chinese. 44 In the new millennium I want to see disabled people acquiring

39、 the same degree of control over their lives that other people have. To be disabled is to be no less human than anyone else, but far too often disabled people still have their lives ruled by others. No able-bodied person would put up with it. Access to intellectual opportunities and jobs as well as

40、buildings and public transport need to be regarded as rights, not gifts society is generous enough to bestow on disabled people. Institutions are generally willing to adapt their buildings, but only when a disabled person needs them-and afterwards you hear grumbles that the money was wasted because

41、“you never see“ a disabled person using the new facilities. The record is appalling. Even the recent Disability Discrimination ACT fails to cover areas like education and transport, areas that are absolutely crucial if full citizens rights are to be extended to the disabled. Until recently people wi

42、th disabilities were not legally allowed to use the London Underground. Now there are a few stops, but still not remotely enough. 三、 PART VI WRITING (45 MIN) Directions: Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic. 44 Some people hold the view that a students success in university
