31、T IV GRAMMAR dark water helped to soothe and quiet her mind. It took her away from the noisy, squawkish world of the cat-walk and let her lie untroubled at its side, listening only to the gentle lapping of its waves, She felt at peace. Alone. Unhindered and free. Free to do nothing but watch and lis

32、ten and dream. London, Paris, New Yorknames, only names. Names that had once meant excitement, then boredom, then frustration, then slavery. Names that had brought her to the edge of a breakdown and left her doubting her own sanity. But here everything was at peace. The lake, the trees, the cottage.

33、 Here she could stay for the rest of her life. Here she would be happy to die. Across the sun hurried a darkening filter of cloud. The ripples on the water, chased by a freshening wind, pushed their way anxiously from the far side of the lake until they almost bounced at her feet. And in the East th

34、ere was thunder. Quickly she gathered her things together and made for the cottage. But already the rain flecked the water behind her and pattered the leaves as she raced beneath the trees. Sodden and breathless, she ran for the cottage door, and, as she opened it, the storm burst. And there on the

35、hearth, haggard and unwelcome, stood a man. “Hello!” It was an odd way to greet a complete stranger who had invaded her home, but it was all she could think of to say. A casual greeting to someone who seemed to be expecting her, waiting for her. Maybe it was the way they did things down here? “I sup

36、pose you had to shelter from the storm too” she asked. The man said nothing. She ought to have been angry at this rude intrusion on her privacy, but anger somehow seemed point- less. It was as if the cottage was his, the hearth was his, and she had come out of the storm to seek refuge at his door. S

37、he watched him, cautiously; waiting for an explanation. He said nothing. Not a word. “Did you get wet?” she asked. He stood, huddled by the open fire, gazing at the dying embers She walked over, brushing against him as she bent to stir the logs into life, but still he did not move. The flames burst

38、forth, lighting up the sadness in his dark eyes. “And kneeled and made the cheerless grate Blaze up and all the cottage warm.” The words, spoken by him in a quiet, toneless voice, took her by surprise. “Pardon?” she said. But he seemed not to hear. She tried once more. “It looks as if its set in for

39、 the evening. Would you like to sit down for a while?“ His eyes followed her as she moved to take off her coat arid brush out her hair. “. and from her form Withdrew the dripping cloak and shawl, And laid her soiled gloves by, untied Her hat and let the damp hair fall.” Poetry. He was quoting poetry

40、. He looked vaguely like a poet; lean, distressed, with a certain bitterness in his eyes and hopelessness in his form. And his voice was deep and languid, like the middle of the lake where the water ran darkest. Yet those were not his lines. The words were not created by him. They were somehow famil

41、iar. Half remembered. Surely she had heard them before? 82 We can conclude that the main character “She” is a_. （ A） model （ B） teacher （ C） singer （ D） banker 83 As to names her profession brought her, she felt all the following EXCEPT_. （ A） confined （ B） fed up （ C） agitated （ D） stirred 84 She w

42、ished to stay by the lake for the rest of her life because_. （ A） she liked the beautiful scenery there （ B） she enjoyed the solitude there （ C） she could withdraw from society （ D） she might encounter a stranger 85 Which of the following can NOT describe the man? （ A） Desperate. （ B） Thin. （ C） Mis

43、erable. （ D） Conspicuous. 85 It is rare for a tale of academic mismanagement in a small institution to grab national attention. But Sciences-Po is no ordinary university. The four most recent French presidents, including Francois Hollande, studied there. In the heart of the Parisian left bank, it at

44、tracts top-rated students and staff. And it has been without a head since its former director, Richard Descoings, died suddenly in April in a New York hotel room. Now a report on Sciences-Po by the national auditor that talks of “ management failure“ and “numerous violations“ has sparked furious deb

45、ate. Critics have seized on managerial extravagance. Aggrieved students, whose tuition fees have risen sharply, have denounced excessive pay. Others have called for board resignations. And the higher-education minister, Genevieve Fioraso, has rejected Sciences-Pos choice of successorHerve Cres, its

46、deputy directorand imposed a caretaker. Sciences-Po is an odd creature. The state finances half its budget, but the school is run by a private foundation and is thus unconstrained by rules about selection, fees and salary caps that bind other public universities. Between 2005 and 2010, the schools b

47、udget jumped by over 60% , the state subsidy rose by a third and Sciences-Po more than doubled its student intake, to 3, 500. But, says the auditor, it added too many administrative staff, paid them and faculty members too much(Descoings earned 537, 247 or $711 , 585 in 2010)and also took on “risky

48、debt“. The mismanagement, admits one professor, was “scandalous“. Sciences-Po says it will clean things up and improve transparency. But the debate has broadened: should it return to its old role as a public-service feeder for the Ecole Nationale DAdministration(ENA), the top civil-service graduate

49、school? Or should Sciences-Po continue with Descoingss project to turn it into an American-style university that competes globally for students and researchers? For all his faults, Descoings boldly took on the French establishment. He built exchanges with American universities and lured foreign students to Paris. He recruited students from heavily immigrant suburbs. And he got the school to set up new research centers, suc
