Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the【31】of the year, or manured a field; but we know【32】about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so【33】so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are【34】that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are,【35】they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in【36】an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and【37】them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is【38】conquerors and generals have done -- is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other【39】by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of other side, and then【40】that that side which has killed most has won.

将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。

There is a clear distinction between one who is supposed to know and another, usually a younger person who is supposed not to know. However, teaching is not necessarily the area of a special group of people, nor should it be looked upon as a technical skill.

Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcing information into a blank mind. If you have a certain skill, you should be able to share it with others. You do not have to get a certificate to convey what you know to them or to help them in their attempt to teach themselves.

All of us, from the very youngest children to the oldest members of our society, should come to realize our own talent and abilities as teachers. We can share what we know, however little it might be, with others who have need of that knowledge or skill.

正确答案：
般认为，有知识的人与没有知识的人――他们通常是较年轻的人――之间的区别非常明显。然而，教学不一定是某个特殊群体的领域，也不应该被看作是一项专业技能。教学不止是将信息硬塞进空白的头脑，而更应是指导和帮助。只要你有某种特定的技能，你就应当能与他人分享。你没必要持有证书才能把你的知识传授给他人，或为他们的自学提供帮助。我们社会中每一个成员，从蹒跚学步的孩童到耄耋之年的老者，都应当意识到自己作为教师的才能。尽管我们可能知之甚少，但仍应能与那些需要我们的人来分享我们的知识和技能。

考题问答题Practice 8　　For most people the word “education” means “school” and “school” conjures up an image of a building with classrooms. But what do people think of when they hear “literacy programmes”? Probably nothing.　　Living in illiteracy is such an unknown-even a little mysterious-experience. Yet today nearly a billion people are illiterate, not to mendon the 113 million school-aged children who do not attend school. Wonderful progress has been made during the last half of the twentieth century in the field of education. But still the number of adult illiterates, particularly women, rises. This is now the challenge of the twenty-first century-the thorn in the side of efforts to achieve Education for All (EFA). It has become clear that Education for All cannot be possible without Literacy for All.　　However, tremendous strides have been made in literacy. How has this been possible? Who brought it about? The people behind literacy efforts must be congratulated for working against all odds to bring about this achievement. But where are they? Who are they? What are their tasks like? And their problems, challenges and rewards? What inspires them? What conditions do they work and live under?正确答案：【参考译文】对大部分人来说,“教育”就意味着“学校”,而一提到“学校”,他们想到的就是大楼里一间间的教室。但当听到“扫盲计划”的时候,他们会想到什么呢?也许什么也没有。文盲是怎样生活的?我们不知道;对我们来说,甚至还会感到有些神秘。但即使在今天,世界上还有10亿文盲,这个数字还不包括1. 13亿失学的学龄儿童。当然,20世纪后半叶,教育领域已取得了长足的进步。但成人文盲的人数,尤其是妇女文盲的人数却增加了。这是对21世纪的挑战——对我们实现“全民教育”计划的努力,无疑也是一个巨大的障碍。非常明显,没有“全民扫盲”,就不会有“全民教育”。当然,扫盲工作已取得了巨大的成就。那么,这些成就是怎么取得的呢?是谁作出了这些成就的?我们必须赞扬那些为扫盲工作做出贡献的人,他们克服了种种困难才取得了这些成就。那么,他们这些人在哪儿呢?他们又是谁?他们是怎样工作的?他们会遇到些什么样的问题扣挑战?他们能取得多少报酬?是什么激励他们从事扫盲工作的?他们的工作条件和生活条件又是什么样的?解析：暂无解析

考题问答题Almost all Americans want to be democratic, but many Americans are confused about what, exactly, democracy means. How do you know when someone is acting in a democratic or an undemocratic way? Recently several groups have spoken out with particular bitterness against the kind of democracy that means equal opportunity for all, regardless of race or national origin. They act as if all human beings did not belong to one species, as if some races of mankind were inferior to others in their capacity to learn what members of other races know and have invented. Other extremists attack religious groups—Jews or Catholics--or deny the right of an individual to be an agnostic. One reason that these extremists, who explicitly do not want to be democratic, can get a hearing even though their views run counter to the Constitution and our traditional values is that people who do want to be democratic are frequently muddled.正确答案：几乎所有的美国人都崇尚民主,但是许多美国人并没有搞清民主到底指的是什么。怎么知道某人的行为是民主的还是不民主的呢?最近,一些团体愤愤不平地反对民主,即不分种族国籍,人人机会均等的观点。他们这样做就好像说所有的人类并不属于同一种群,好像某些人种在学习其他人种的经验和发明创造方面的能力不如别人。另外一些极端分子攻击宗教团体——犹太教或天主教——或否认个人信奉不可知论的权利。尽管这些明确表示不想要民主的极端分子的观点同宪法及传统的价值观念背道而驰,他们仍然能够得以陈述自己的观点,其原因就是崇尚民主的人们通常也是糊里糊涂的。解析：暂无解析

考题 Questions 85-87 refer to the following advertisement. Gaining green card may involve the black market costs. The green card application process can take a long time, and people often have to eat while waiting for their papers. Many immigrants have resolved this through the acquisition of fake documents. （Note as an attorney, I emphatically do not recommend this. But people do it. A lot.） At their best （and most expensive）, fake papers can be quite useful. From talking to immigrants, I have learned that there is a man in a certain Central American capital who, for $6000, will get you a U.S. passport with a name and photo of your choosing that will scan as real on border crossing computers. In New York City, $150-$200 will get you work documents connected to a real Social Security number. $75 will get you a color copy on thick paper that looks like a Social Security card as long as you don’t look closely enough to see that it is actually a “Social Security” card.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. The writer finds fake paper a good solution B. Social Security Number is the most expensive C. All fake materials are free of any flaw D. Fake papers do works quite well sometimes答案：D解析：根据文章所知，申请者在等待绿卡的同时，为了解决温饱会到黑市买一些假的证件，这些证件有时候是有一定欺骗作用的。但根据原文“At their best （and most expensive）， fake papers can be quite useful.”可知，fake papers 对移民来说，有时候确实比较有用。所以D 项正确。
