In 2012, the Tower of London welcomed two new inhabitants: a pair of ravens(烏鴉) named Jubilee and Grip. Their arrival celebrated the bicentenary(二百周年) of Charles Dickens’s birth. This Grip was the third of the Tower ravens to be named after the novelist’s own pet birD. One of his predecessors(前輩) was resident during World War Two; he and his mate Mabel were the only ravens to survive a bombing attack on the Tower.
Dickens’s Grip, who had an impressive vocabulary, appears as a character in the author’s fifth novel, Barnaby Rudge. On 28 January 1841, Dickens wrote to his friend George Cattermole: “my notion is to have [Barnaby] always in company with a pet raven, who is immeasurably more knowing than himself. To this end I have been studying my bird, and think I could make a very distinctive character of him.”
Unfortunately, just a few weeks after Dickens wrote that letter, Grip died, probably as a result of having stolen and eaten paint some months earlier. The bird had developed a strange habit – tearing sections off painted surfaces (including the family's carriage) and even drinking a quantity of white paint out of a tin. Dickens mourned his loss and wrote a humorous letter to his friend, the illustrator Daniel Maclise, about the raven’s death.
He related how, when Grip began to show signs of sickness, the vet was called and “administered a powerful dose of castor(蓖麻) oil”. Initially this seemed to have a positive effect and the author was thrilled to see Grip restored to his usual personality when he bit the coachman (who was used to the raven and took it in good humor). The following morning, Grip was able to eat “some warm porridge”, but his recovery was short liveD.
As Dickens wrote to Maclise, “On the clock striking twelve he appeared slightly upset, but soon recovered, walking twice or thrice along the coach-house, stopped to bark, exclaimed ‘Hello old girl’ (his favorite expression) and dieD. He behaved throughout with a decent manner, which cannot be too much admireD. .. The children seem rather glad of it. He bit their ankles. But that was play.”
1.Which of the following is right about Dickens’s pet Grip?
A. he liked painting a lot.
B. he could speak English fluently.
C. he was quite ill before his death.
D. he and Mabel survived a bombing attack.
2.Why did Dickens study his bird Grip?
A. Because the bird was very strange looking.
B. Because Dickens liked the bird immeasurably.
C. Because Barnaby needs a companion who was always with him.
D. Because Dickens wanted to base one character of his novel on him.
3.What caused the death of Dickens’s Grip?
A. His old age.
B. His strange diet.
C. The killing of the coachman.
D. His bad habit of biting people.
4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A. A bird in a novel.
B. The writer’s birD.
C. The death of a birD.
D. Dickens and his bird

For years I have been asked by several people how and why I came to translate a novel by Virginia Woolf in 1945. I graduated from the University of Ankara in 1941 and my four teachers, including Orphan Burian, are members of the Translation Bureau who prepared a list of works to be translated into Turkish and set themselves to translating some of these, besides shouldering the heavy work of correcting or editing the translations submitted to the Bureau. Orphan Burian, now mostly known for his translations of Shakespeare, had started to translate To the Lighthouse for the Translation Bureau, but at the same time he wanted to do something from Shakespeare. So he transferred it to me.
For me, To the Lighthouse was love at first sight or rather at first reading. To translate a book, I first read it from the beginning to the end. Then I started writing each sentence by hand. When I finished the whole book I read my translation from the beginning to the end, checking it with the original, and making corrections. Then I typed it, and read the typed copy, making changes again. All in all that added up to five readings. I started translating the novel in 1943 and submitted it to the Bureau in 1944. It was published in 1945 under the general title of “New English Literature” in the series called “Translations from World Literature” known as the “Classical Series”.
So, the first book by Virginia Woolf in Turkish appeared in 1945, and it was To the Lighthouse. This was eighteen years after its publication in England in 1927. To me the book itself was pure poetry; I read it as if in a dream. Not trying to dive very deeply into it, I sort of swam on it or over it. Now, years later, I swim in it. Even after so many years, in each reading I become conscious of new layers of which I haven’t been aware before. It keeps pace with my experiences in life as years go by, and each reading is a new reading for me.
In 1982 and again in 1989 I revised it for two new editions and I again did it sentence by sentence checking it with the original. In those years I had thought it was necessary to revise my translations every ten years, but now I think I must do it every three or four years. In a country like Turkey, where we work very hard to clear our language from old and new foreign words, we should try to be up to date as to the words we are using, and of the same importance are the studies being made on the methods or techniques of translation, and new approaches in translation.
While translating, I usually have both the writer and the reader in mind. The novels she wrote after 1920 were especially new for most of the readers. She usually uses very short sentences, followed by rather long ones. I remember sentences of more than ten lines which weren’t easy for me to translate as they were. And in Turkish our having only one word, the word “O”, for “he”, “she”, “it” in English, made me repeat the names of the characters more often than Woolf did. And I changed some long indirect sentences in the original into direct sentences in my translation, thinking it would make an easier reading in Turkish.
When translating, I make use of all kinds of dictionaries. A difficult English word for me is the word “vision”. In To the Lighthouse, the artist Lily Briscoe is trying to finish the picture she has been drawing for some time and the novel ends with the following sentences: “Yes, she thought, laying down her brush extremely tired, I’ve had my vision.” And I’m still thinking about how to translate this remark into Turkish.
1.How and why did the writer come to translate To the Lighthouse?
A. It was really a piece of good luck.
B. She was the only qualified person for it.
C. Virginia Woolf was very familiar to her.
D. She was a member of the Translation Bureau.
2.What does the underlined part in paragraph 3 mean?
A. The writer prefers the work very much.
B. The writer likes the sport swimming.
C. The writer is aware of her advantages.
D. The writer has digested the book very well.
3.Why does the writer revise her translations more often now?
A. Readers make new demands.
B. Turkish is a language of mobility.
C. Many mistakes are spotted in the old edition.
D. She wants to make it more popular in the market.
4.While translating, the writer repeated the names of the characters to_________.
A. make full use of the direct sentences
B. emphasize all of these characters
C.make her translation clearer in Turkish
D. make her translation much briefer
5.The last paragraph mainly implies that_________.
A. the writer is taking up a difficult job
B. the writer’s translation needs improving
C. English is a difficult language in the world
D. remarks from characters are difficult to translate

In her new book, “The Smartest Kidsin the World”, Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Wroclaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Wroclaw is that the latter has no football team or teams of any kind.
That American high schools spend more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. In December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again show their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like China, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.
Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader — a mother with three children in the school — was asked about the school’s flaws (瑕疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, theu mean?”
One of the ironies of the situation is that sports show what is possible. American kids’ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.
1.Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _________.
A. he intends to improve his scores
B. Polish kids are better at learning
C. sports are not supported at schools in Gettysburg
D. he wants to be the smartest kid in the world
2.According to Paragraph 2, we know that _________.
A. PISA plays a very important role in America
B. little time is spent on sports in Japanese schools
C. American students do better in both math and sports
D. too much importance is placed on sports in America
3.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _________.
A. low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performance
B. high expectations push up American students’ academic performance
C. American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lot
D. lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance
4.The purpose of this article is to _________.
A. compare Polish schools with those in America
B. call on American schools to learn from the Polish model
C. draw public attention to a weakness in American school tradition
D. explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions
