诗比散文难写，这是事实。散文之所以比较容易写，是因为它更接近我们口中的语言。可以说，散文是加过工的口语。我们都会说话，而且说的是散文，不是韵文。在日常交谈的时候，我们的话语难免层次不分明，用词未尽妥当，因为随想随说，来不及好好思索、细细推敲，也就是欠加工。那么，我们既会说话，如果再会加工，就会写出较好的散文来。

 

 

 

 

V. Translate the following paragraph into Chinese.(Please write down your answer on the Answer Sheet. 20%)

 

In an earlier study of the family, I took as given that in general a nation’s family structure determines the kind of society it will have, and that any attempts to change or improve the society must begin with changing the family. Six years latter now, I have come to feel that, paradoxically, although some kind of family structure may be indispensable to societal functioning, it is the society that determines what the family will be, and not the other way around.

II.Reading comprehension(Please write down your answer on the Answer Sheet.10%):

The relationship between the home and market economics has gone through two distinct stages. Early industrialization began the process of transferring some production processes (e.g.  clothmaking, sewing, and canning foods) from the home to the marketplace. Although the home economy could still produce these goods, the processes were laborious and the market economy was usually more efficient. Soon, the more important second stage was evident- the marketplace began producing goods and services that had never been produced by the home economy, and the home economy was unable to produce them (e.g. electricity and electrical appliances, the automobile, advanced education, sophisticated medical care). In the second stage, the question of whether the home economy was less efficient in producing these new goods and services was irrelevant; if the family were to enjoy these fruits of industrialization, they would have to be obtained in the marketplace. The traditional ways of taking care of these needs in the home, such as nursing the sick, became socially unacceptable( and, in most serious cases, probably less successful). Just as the appearance of the automobile made the use of the horse-drawn carriage illegal and then impractical, and the appearance of television changed the radio from a source of entertainment to a source of background music, so most of the fruits of economic growth did not increase the options available to the home economy toe either produce the goods or services or purchase them in the market. Growth brought with it increased variety in customer goods, but not increased flexibility for the home economy in obtaining these goods and services. Instead, economic growth brought with it increased consumer reliance on the marketplace. In order to consume these new goods and services, the family had to enter the marketplace as wage earners and consumers. The neoclassical model that views the family as deciding whether to produce goods and services directly or to purchase them in the marketplace is basically a model of the first stage. It cannot accurately be applied to the second ( and current ) stage.

21. The reason why many production processes were taken over 

   by the marketplace was that ____.

A. it was a necessary step in the process of 

     industrialization

B. they depended on electricity available only to the

market economy

C. it was troublesome to produce such goods in the home

D. the marketplace was more efficient with respect to

   these processes

22.  It can be seem from the passage that in the second stage _______.

   A. some traditional goods and services were not successful when provided by the home economy

   B. the market economy provided new goods and services never produced by the home economy

C. producing traditional goods at home became socially   

unacceptable

    D.whether new goods and services were produced by the  

home economy became irrelevant

23. During the second stage, if the family wanted to consume new goods and services, they had to enter the marketplace _____.

   A. as wage earners

   B. both as manufacturers and consumers

   C. both as workers and purchasers

   D. as consumers

24. Economic growth did not make it more flexible for the home economy to obtain the new goods and services because _____.

   A. the family was not efficient in production  

   B. it was illegal for the home economy to produce them

   C. it could not supply them by itself

   D. the market for these goods and services was limited

25. The neoclassical model is basically a model of the first stage, because at this stage ____.

   A．the family could rely either on the home economy or on the marketplace for the needed goods and services

   B. many production processes were being transferred to   

    the marketplace

   C. consumers relied more and more on the market economy

   D. the family could decide how to transfer production processes to the marketplace
