in the quantity and quality of the recruits it is attracting. recruiters, once denounced by antiwar students as “baby killers” and barred from campuses, are welcomed ever at elite universities. rotc (reserve officers training corps) programs, that faltered during the viet nam era, when protesters were fire bombing their headquarters, are flourishing again. the military academies are enjoying a steady increase in applications. certainly, the depressed economy has increased the allure of the jobs, technical training and generous student loans offered by the military. students know that if they go in and become, say, nuclear weapons specialists, they can come out and demand a salary of $60,000 a year. military salaries, while not always competitive with those paid for comparable jobs in the private sector, are more than respectable, especially considering the wide array of benefits that are available: free medical service, room and board, and px (post exchange) privileges. monthly pay for a recruit is $574; for a sergeant with four years services it is $906; for a major with ten years service it is $2,305. the services slick $175 million-a-year advertising campaign promising adventure and fulfillment has helped win over the tv generation. kids are walking down the school hallways chanting army, navy, air force, marines, just like in the commercials. and many military officials feel that the key difference is the enhanced patriotism among the nations youth. there is a return to the view that the military is an honorable profession. the days of a judge telling a miscreant to join the army or go to jail are over. recruiting for all four services combined is running at 101%of authorized goals. and the retention rate is now so high, that the services are refusing some re-enlistment applications and reducing annual recruiting target.the military academics are also enjoying halcyon years, attracting more and better-qualified students. compared to private colleges, where tuition and expenses have been climbing sharply, the service schools are a real bargain: not only is tuition free, but recruits get allowances of up to $500 a mouth. it is reported 12,300 applicants are for the 1,450 positions in this years freshman class. military academies are now just as selective as any of the best universities in the country.nationwide, rotc enrollment exceeds 105,000,a 64% increase over the 1974 figure. in the mid 70s, the rotc students refused to wear their uniforms on campus because they suffered all sorts of ridicule, if they did. now if they wear them to class no one looks at them twice. to them, viet nam is ancient history, something the old folks talk about.1. what is the main idea of this passage?a. the military is in . the military is upc. the military is down d. the military is on2. what was the attitude of the students in 1970s towards the military?a. approval. . indifferent. c. distaste. d. scolding.3. the phrase

students.a. free tuition. . spacious room.c. considerate allowance. d. technical training.vocabulary1. stage a comeback 再度走紅，卷土重來2. standing tall 站得高3. babykiller 殺嬰犯人4. denounce 譴責(zé)5. elite

the services slick $175 million-a-year advertising campaign promising adventure and fulfillment has helped win over the tv generation.結(jié)構(gòu)簡析 句子的主語是campaign. 這里指大規(guī)模的廣告（advertising campaign）。promising 修飾 campaign。2. the days of a judge telling a miscreant to join the army or go to jail are over.參考譯文 由法官判一名無賴不去當(dāng)兵就得坐牢的日子過去了。3. and the retention rate is now so high, that the

有“流行，時髦”之義。全篇文章圍繞這一點(diǎn)而寫。文章一開頭就點(diǎn)名宗旨“事情真的變了，軍隊形象不僅高大，招收新兵的質(zhì)量和數(shù)量明顯得到恢復(fù)?！钡诙伍_始：“可以肯定，經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條使得軍隊提供就業(yè)，技術(shù)訓(xùn)練和對學(xué)生慷慨貸款提高了誘惑力?！钡诙蔚箶?shù)第七句“許多軍官感到關(guān)鍵性的變化是這個國家青年中的愛國心增強(qiáng)，當(dāng)兵是一個榮譽(yù)職業(yè)的看法又恢復(fù)了?！倍急硎境韵?。b. to be up 有“完了，完畢，上漲”等義。 c. to be down 有“消沉，落魄，下降”等義。 d. to be on 有“上演，開著”等義。這里都講不通。2. c. 厭惡。答案在第一段第二句“招兵人員曾一度被反戰(zhàn)學(xué)生譴責(zé)為殺嬰犯而拒之校園之外，現(xiàn)在甚至名牌大學(xué)都?xì)g迎。后備軍官訓(xùn)練隊計劃在越戰(zhàn)時期曾動搖不定，抗議的人向部隊投擲燃燒彈，如今又興旺起來?！弊詈笠欢蔚诙洹?0年代中期，后備軍官訓(xùn)練隊學(xué)生不愿在校內(nèi)穿制服，因為穿了就遭到各種嘲笑?！边@些都說明70年代，學(xué)生對軍隊的態(tài)度是“厭惡”。所以a. 贊成， b. 漠不關(guān)心， d. 漫罵，都不對。3. 獲得地位。to come out 有 to gain certain position 獲得（名次，地位）之義，也有appear, to be seen （出現(xiàn)，看得見）之義。這里的上下文，只能是d. 第二段第二句“學(xué)生們知道，要是參軍，當(dāng)上譬如核武器專家，他們就能揚(yáng)名并可要求6萬美元年薪。”a. 看得見， b. 開始成長， c. 公開。4. b. 寬敞的房間。a. 免學(xué)費(fèi)。 c. 相當(dāng)高的津貼。 d. 技術(shù)培訓(xùn)，都提到過。第二段開始“可以肯定，經(jīng)濟(jì)蕭條使得軍隊提供就業(yè)，技術(shù)訓(xùn)練以及對學(xué)生慷慨貸款等的誘惑力增大?！钡谌洹败婈犘浇鸨M管比不是私人公司中類似工作的工資，但已經(jīng)很可觀了，尤其考慮到軍隊里有一系列的福利待遇，如免費(fèi)醫(yī)療，膳宿，軍人消費(fèi)合作社特惠等?！钡谌巍败娛略盒Ｕ惺盏膶W(xué)生數(shù)量多了，質(zhì)量好，年頭也就好過。私立大學(xué)里，學(xué)費(fèi)和各類費(fèi)用一直急劇上升，相比之下，上軍事院校確實(shí)便宜，不僅學(xué)費(fèi)全面，新生每月還可拿5百美元的補(bǔ)貼。passage nineteen (creative process of works)the great question that this paper will, but feebly, attempt to answer is , what is the creative process?though much theory has accumulated, little is really known about the power that lies at the bottom of poetic creation. it is true that great poets and artists produce beauty by employing all the powers of personality and by fusing emotions, reason, and intuitions. but what is the magical synthesis that joins and arranges these complex parts into poetic unity?john l.lowes, in his justly famous “the road to xanadu,” developed one of the earliest and still generally acceptable answers to this tantalizing question. imaginative creation, he concludes, is a complex process in which the conscious and unconscious minds jointly operate. “there isthe deep well with its chaos of fortuitously blending images; but there is likewise the vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form, and with the vision, the controlling will. which gives to that potential beauty actuality.”the deep well is the unconscious mind that is peopled with the facts, ideas, feelings of the conscious activity. the imaginative vision, an unconscious activity, shines through the land of chaos, of lights and shadows, silently seeking pattern and form. finally, the conscious mind again, through will, captures and embodies the idea in the final work of art. in this way is unity born out of chaos.though there can be no absolute certainty, there is general agreement that the periods in the development of a creative work parallel, to some extent, lowes theory of well, vision, form, and will. there are at least three stages in the creative process: preparation, inspiration, work. in a sense, the period of preparation is all of the writers life. it is the deep well. it is the deep well. it is especially a period of concentration which gives the unconscious mind an opportunity to communicate with the conscious mind. when remembrance of things past reach the conscious level of the writers mind, he is ready to go on with the process. part of this preparation involves learning a mediumlearning a language, learning how to write, learning literary forms. it is important to mot here that form cannot be imposed upon the idea. evidence, though sparse, shows that the idea gives birth to the form that can best convey it. it is the vision, according to lowes, ” which sees shining in and through the chaws of the potential lines of from ”1. when remembrance of things past reach the conscious level, the post has reached the stage calleda. well. . vision. c. form. d. will.2. which of the following statements is true?a. the form determines the subject matter. the idea determines the form.c. vision makes beauty an actuality.d. a writer is unconscious when he prepares his work.3. the word “fortuitously” in the third paragraph meansa. accidentally. . luckily. c. thoroughly. d. potentially.4. the remembrance of things past is carried on in the a. deep well. . vision.c. chaotic lights and shadows. d. conscious mind.vocabulary1. fuse 融化，結(jié)合2. intuition 直覺3. xanadu 是一個非常美的，田園詩般的地方。美國詩人sanul t coleridge還根據(jù)這地方寫了一首詩，“kubla khan” 忽必烈汗（即元世祖）4. john l. lowes 18761945年美國學(xué)者，批評家及教師5. tantalizing 引起好奇心的，可望不可及的，逗人得6. fortuitous 偶然的，幸運(yùn)的7. parallel 相應(yīng)于8. sparse 稀少，稀疏9. synthesis 綜合，綜合法難句譯注1. by employing all the powers of personality and by fusing emotions, reason, and intuitions.參考譯文 運(yùn)用個人（品格）的全部力量，把情感，理智和直覺融會貫通結(jié)合在一起。2. still generally acceptable answers to this tantalizing question.參考譯文 現(xiàn)在仍然是眾所接受對這些可望不可及問題的答案。3. there isthe deep well with its chaos of fortuitously blending images; but there is likewise the vision which sees shining in and through the chaos of the potential lines of form, and with the vision, the controlling will. which gives to that potential beauty actuality.結(jié)構(gòu)簡析 注意介詞短語和定從。with its chaos, 是修飾deep well. which sees shinning 定語從句修飾vision. and 后的with the vision, 卻是狀語。which gives 又是定從，修飾will.參考譯文 有那充滿了混亂的偶然交織在一起的形象的深靜；但同樣也有那洞察力，看到在混亂中熠熠生輝的潛在的形式線索，由于有這樣的洞察力便有那控制一切的意志把潛在的美變成真實(shí)的（詩歌）篇章。4. lights and shadows 藝術(shù)上有 light and shade 明和暗。這里也是指明和暗。閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（a、b、c和d）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑?！?013界廣東省深圳市一?！?aonce there was a man who lied to eat mangoes. one day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.so he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. he managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. then he started to call nearby villagers for help. they immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him. then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. people were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many peoples problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.he was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man. everybody was surprised. the hanging mango lover started to shout: what are you doing?! are you crazy? do you want me to break my neck?” the sage was silent. then he took another stone and threw it at the man. the man was very angry: “if i could just come down, i would show you!”thats what everybody wanted - that he came down. but how? now everybody was tense, as to what would happen next! some wanted to chastise the sage, but they didnt. the sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. now the man on the tree was enraged and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge.（復(fù)仇）he then used all h
