Practice 3  Caesar was right. Thin people need watching. I’ve been watching them for most of my adult life, and I don’t like what I see. When these narrow fellows spring at me, I quiver to my toes. Thin people come in all personalities, most of them menacing. You’ve got your “together” thin person, your mechanical thin person, your condescending thin person, your tsk-tsk thin person, your efficiency-expert thin person. All of them are dangerous.  In the first place, thin people aren’t fun. They don’t know how to goof off, at least in the best, fat sense of the word. They’ve always got to be adoing. Give them a coffee break, and they’ll jog around the block. Supply them with a quiet evening at home, and they’ll fix the screen door and lick S&H green stamps. They say things like “there aren’t enough hours in the day.” Fat people never say that. Fat people think the day is too damn long already.  Thin people make me tired. They’ve got speedy little metabolisms that cause them to bustle briskly. They’re forever rubbing their bony hands together and eyeing new problems to “tackle.” I like to surround myself with sluggish, inert, easygoing fat people l the kind who believe that if you clean it up today, it’ll just get dirty again tomorrow. (Suzanne Britt Jordan: That Lean And Hungry Look)
参考答案和解析
正确答案: 【参考译文】
恺撒说的对。瘦人值得注意。我自成年以来,多半时间都在观察他们,但所看到的情况我很不喜欢。瘦子们突然朝我走来时,我连脚趾都颤抖。虽然瘦子的性格各异,但多数让人望而生畏。你一定见过“能人”瘦子,呆板瘦子,肯于屈尊的瘦子,一不耐烦就啧啧作声的瘦子,以及有“效率专家”之称的瘦子。他们都是危险人物。
首先,瘦子不讨人喜欢。他们不懂得消闲,至少他们不了解“消闲”二字在最好和最广泛的意义上的含义。他们总是闲不住。你要是让他停下来喝杯咖啡,他就到街上去跑步锻炼;你要是晚上让他在家里安安静静地待着,他就忙着钉纱门,用舌头舔贴S&H绿贴花。他们老是说什么“白天时间不够”之类的话。胖子可从不说这个。他们认为白天已经太长了。
瘦子让我感到累。他们新陈代谢快,脚总是忙个不停。两只皮包骨头的手总是搓来搓去,还东张西望,看有什么新问题需要着手解决。我喜欢和那些慢腾腾、懒洋洋、随随便便的胖子在一起,他们相信这样的哲学:你今天打扫干净了,明天还会变脏的。

第6题:

In the case of Caesar Borgia, the author holds that

[A] Machiavelli has been objective.

[B] Machiavelli revealed his personality.

[C] Caesar Borgia was a deserved model.

[D] Machiavelli overvalued Caesar Borgia.


正确答案:A
58.A该题为细节题。第一段第九句“When MachiaveUi takes Casar Borgia as a model, he does not praise him as a hero at all, but merely asa prince who was capable of attaining the end in view.”,由此可知,作者认为当马基雅维利以卡萨尔·博鲁吉亚为例时,并没有把他赞美成英雄,而是仅仅说他作为一个君主,能够达到自己想要的目的。说明作者认为马基雅维利的评论是中肯、客观的。故选A。
