一、English Chine Translation(总题数：5，分数：25.00)
In the early days of the ttlement of Australia, enterprising ttlers unwily introduced the European rabbit. This rabbit had no natural enemies in the Antipodes, so that it multiplied with that promiscuous abandon characteristic of rabbits. 1 It overran a whole continent. It caud deva station by burrowing and by devouring the herbage which might have maintained millions of sheep and cattle. Scientists discovered that this particular variety of rabbit (and apparently no other animal) was susceptible to a fatal virus dia, myxomatosis. By infecting animals and letting them loo in the burrows, local epidemics of this dia could be created. 2 Later it was found that there was a type of mosquito which acted as the carrier of this dia and pasd it on to the rabbits. So while the rest of the world was trying to get rid of mosquitoes, Australia was encouraging this one. 3 It effectively spread the dia all over the continent and drastically reduced the rabbit population. It lat
er became apparent that rabbits were developing a degree of resistance to this dia, so that the rabbit population was unlikely to be completely exterminated. There were hopes, however, that the problem of the rabbit would become manageable.
4 Ironically, Europe, which had bequeathed the rabbit as a pest to Australia, acquired this man-made dia as a pestilence. A French physician decided to get rid of the wild rabbits on his own estate and introduced myxomatosis. It did not, however, remain within the confines of his estate. 5 It spread through France, where wild rabbits are not generally regarded as a pest but as a sport and a uful food supply, and it spread to Britain where wild rabbits are regarded as a pest but where domesticated rabbits, equally susceptible to the dia, are the basis of a profitable fur industry. The question became one of whether Man could control the dia he had invented.（分数：5.00）

6 With its common interest in lawbreaking but its immen range of subject-matter and widely varying methods of treatment, the crime novel could make a legitimate claim to be regarded as a parate branch of literature, or at least, as a distinct, even though a slightly disreputable, offshoot of the traditional novel.滚汤圆
The detective story is probably the most respectable (at any rate in the narrow n of the word) of the crime species. Its creation is often the relaxation of University dons, literary economist, scientists or even poets. 考查课7 Fatalities may occur more frequently and mysteriously than might be expected in polite society, but the world in which they happen, the village, aside resort, college or studio, is familiar to us, if not from our own experien
ce, at least in the newspaper or the lives of friends. A story t in a more remote environment, African jungle or Australian bush, ancient China or gaslit London, appeals to our interest in geography or history, and most detective story writers are conscientious in providing a reasonably authentic background. 8 The elaborate, carefully-asmbled plot, despid by the modern intellectual critics and creators of "significant" novels, has found refuge in the murder mystery, with its sprinkling of clues, its spicing with apparent impossibilities, all with appropriate solutions and explanations at the end. With the guilt of escapism from Real Life nagging gently, we cretly revel in the unmasking of evil by a rarely superhuman detective, who es through and dispels the cloud of suspicion which has hovered so unjustly over the innocent.
Though its villain also receives his rightful derts, the thriller prents a less comfortable and credible world. 9 The quence of fist fights, revolver duels, car crashes and escapes from gasfilled cellars exhausts the reader far more than the hero, who suffering from at least two broken ribs, one black eye, uncountable bruis and a hangover, can still cha and overpower an armed villain with the physique of a wrestle.猪头肉的卤制方法 He moves dang
erously through a world of ruthless gangs, brutality, a vicious lust for power and money and, in contrast to the detective tale, with a near-omniscient arch-criminal who defeat ems almost accidental. 10 Perhaps we miss in the thriller the curity of being safely led by our imperturbable investigator past a score of red herrings and blind avenues to a final gathering of suspects when an unchallengeable elucidation of all that has bewildered us is given and justice and goodness prevail. All that we vainly hope for from life is granted vicariously.（分数：5.00）

正确答案：()
解析：描写犯罪的小说的共同特点是它们都对犯罪感兴趣，但题材范围广泛，体裁变化多种多样，所以堪称文学的一个独立分支，或者至少要被视为是传统小说中的一个尽管名声有点不好但却别具一格的支脉。

正确答案：()
解析：在上流社会中，人命案件出现可能要比料想的更频繁、更神秘；但是，这些事件的案发地点——村庄、海滨胜地、学院或工作室，却是我们所熟悉的：即使不是我们亲身经历，至少也是报上登载或出现在朋友们的生活之中的。
__________________________________________________________________________________________
正确答案：()
解析：精心安排、结构严密的情节，尽管受到现代唯理智论的批评家和“有重大意义的”小说的创作者们的鄙视，但却在描写谋杀案件的侦探小说中找到了庇护所，这种小说有一些关键的情节，以看来显然不可能的事情来增添趣味，故事结束时又全部有妥善的解决办法与说明。

人生信条及座右铭解析：连续不断的拳击战、手枪决斗、撞车和逃出装满汽油的地窖，要比至少有两根肋骨被打折、一只眼睛被打肿、遍体鳞伤并宿醉未醒，却仍然能够以摔跤运动员一样的体格追击并制服武装歹徒的英雄人物更能使读者精疲力竭。

青春恰自来
解析：也许在惊险小说中，我们领略不到那沉着冷静的调查员几经周折和失败最终安全地引领我们找出嫌疑犯的安全感。此时，使我们感到迷惑的一切都无可争议地得以澄清，正义和善良取得绝对胜利。
In man"s early days, competition with other creatures must have been critical. But this pha of our development is now finished. Indeed, we lack practice and experience nowadays in dealing with primitive conditions. 11 I am sure that, without modern weapons, I would make a very poor show of disputing the ownership of a cave with a bear, and in this I do not think that I stand alone.腊八节来历 The last creature to compete with man was the mosquito. But even the mosquito has been subdued by attention to drainage and by chemical sprays.
12 Competition between ourlves, person against person, community against community, still persists, however; and it is as fierce as it ever was.
But the competition of man against man is not the simple process envisioned in biology. 13 It is not a simple competition for a fixed amount of food determined by the physical environment, becau the environment that determines our evolution is no longer esntially physical. Our environment is chiefly conditioned by the things we believe. Morocco and California are bits of the Earth in very similar latitudes, both on the west coasts of continents with similar climates, and probably with rather similar natural resources. 14 Yet their prent development is wholly different, not so much becau of different people even, but becau of the different thoughts that exist in the minds of their inhabitants. This is the point I wish to emphasize. The most important factor in our environment is the state of our own minds.
15 It is well known that where the white man has invaded a primitive culture the most destructive effects have come not from physical weapons but from ideas. Ideas are dangerous. The Holy Office knew this full well when it caud heretics to be burned in days gone by. Indeed, the concept of free speech only exists in our modem society becau when you are inside a community you are conditioned by the conventions of the
community to such a degree that it is very difficult to conceive of anything really destructive.（分数：5.00）
