　　It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more．But in order to work up the desire to rewrite ,it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage．

　　I am surprised at the number of famouw writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers’ opinions．One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we’re often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain whern first written down．Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work．

　　Different from popular belief ,wen do not usually think in the works and sentences of ordinary language but in symbois for ideas(known as “mentalese”), and writing our ideas down is an act of transtation from that symbolic language．But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry(織錦)，writing can only be composed one thread at a time．Therefone it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple．It si only by repeatedly rewrting that wen producs new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds．

　　When people write as if some strict critics(批評家)are looking over their shoulder, they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start．Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem．When writing wen should have two different minds．At the first stage ,we should see every idea ,as well as the words we use to express it ,as wonderful and worth putting down．It is only during rewrites that we should examine what wen excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses．

(1)

[　　]

A．

B．

C．

(2)

[　　]

A．

People think in words and genternces．

B．

Human ideas are translated into symbols

C．

People think by connecting threads of ideas．

D．

Human thoughts are expressed through pictures．

(3)

What can we conclude from the text?

[　　]

A．

Most people believe wen think in sysbols．

B．

Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable．

C．

The writers and crities can never reach an agreement．

D．

閱讀理解

　　The writings of Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britain．His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university．

　　Shakespeare' s work, together with most other classics, is seen as remote, and written in a 400-year-old version of English that is about as inviting as toothache．

　　Still, in British schools, it is compulsory to study the poet, and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment(憎恨)or both．

　　This was my experience of the classics at school．But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart．Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me．I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them．

　　I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China．I have never regretted it．There is something in literature that people want, even if they don't read books．You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen' s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point．These popular adaptations may help increase people's interest in the classics．

　　Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare's actual plays．If that is the case, then I welcome the trend．But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing．Shakespeare is a poet．His greatness is in his language．Reading someone else's rewriting of his work is like peeling a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin．Take on the original．It really is worth the effort．

(1)

Which of the following is true according to the passage?

[　　]

A．

The language used in classics is no longer in use today．

B．

British students usually find compulsory reading dull．

C．

Only those studying literature read Shakespeare's works．

D．

For British people, Shakespeare's works are no longer classics．

(2)

According to the passage, the writer ________．

[　　]

A．

has liked literary classics since an early age

B．

was forced to read the classics for a PhD

C．

turned to literature to seek answers in his teens

D．

thinks only people who read books like literature

(3)

The popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works may help people ________．

[　　]

A．

learn more about tradition

B．

get a PhD in literature

C．

seek their answers about the world

D．

become more interested in the classics

(4)

What does the writer intend to tell us in the last paragraph?

[　　]

A．

The fruit of a banana si more useful than its skin．

B．

The rewriting trend does more harm than good．

C．

Readers should try to read the original versions．

D．

Readers need to learn the language in the classics．

There is a saying in French—“Si vieillesse pouvait, si jeunesse savait”—which means roughly “if age had the ability, if youth had the knowledge.” I was reminded of this saying the other day when I saw an interview with a distinguished Asian neurosurgeon(神經(jīng)外科醫(yī)生), now retired, about the impact of computer technology on modern surgery.
He was referring to the difficulty people of his age had in using the new techniques, but also to the fact that younger surgeons, who are more comfortable with the technology, lack some of the wisdom of experience.
It struck me that this problem is not just confined(局限于) to specialized fields such as medicine, but is widespread in modern life. There are many areas where the rapid growth of technology has widened the generation gap.
Young people are at ease with modern technology and propose all sorts of ways for using and developing it. But they often lack the experience needed to see further into the future to the possible dangers that a particular development may cause.
Older people see all sorts of difficulties and dangers, but are sometimes ignored, or even accused of being against progress, if they point out potential problems. Equally, they may see potential uses, but not have the technical skills to put them into practice themselves or the trust in the younger generation to do so.
Enthusiasm and inexperience come into conflict with caution and arrogance, usually with unsatisfactory results for both sides.
What is needed is the development of a partnership, based on mutual respect, which can deliver real progress by combining enthusiasm and caution in a constructive way, rather than in conflict with each other. The old need to give the younger generation the time, the resources and, above all, the authority to develop new ideas and use their skills. In exchange, the young need to turn more actively to the older generation to seek their advice and exploit their greater experience of the world in foreseeing and overcoming potential problems.
【小題1】The passage is mainly about ________.

A．the impact of computer technology on modern surgery
B．a(chǎn)n interview with a distinguished Asian neurosurgeon
C．new generation gap between the old and the young
D．a(chǎn) conflict between knowledge and experience
【小題2】The French saying in the first paragraph is used to ________.
A．introduce the topic
B．show the difference between French and English
C．make readers confused
D．prove the writer’s wisdom
【小題3】What did the retired neurosurgeon probably mention in his interview?
A．Old people’s enthusiasm in obtaining new technology.
B．Old people’s difficulty in using computers.
C．Young surgeons’ bad manners in working.
D．Young surgeons’ difficulty in getting experience.
【小題4】In the writer’s view, what advantage do the older generation have?
A．They are happy with modern technology.
B．They are easy to learn new techniques.
C．They can foresee the future of the young generation.
D．They are rich in work experience.
【小題5】What conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph?
A．The young and the old should respect and learn from each other.
B．The young should teach the old modern technology.
C．The old should maintain their authority in every field.
D．The young and the old should work independently.
