translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.Hollywood suggests glamour,a place where the young star-struck teenagers could,with a bit of luck,fulfill their dreams.Hollywood suggests luxurious houses with vast palm-fringed swimming pools,cocktail bars and furnishings fit for a millionaire.(1)And the big movie stars were millionaires.Many spent their fortunes on yachts,Rolls Royces and diamonds.A few of them lost their glamour quite suddenly and were left with nothing but emptiness and colossal debts.Movies were first made in Hollywood before World War I.The constant sunshine and mild climate of southern California made it an ideal site for shooting motion pictures.(2)Hollywoods fame and fortune reached its peak in the 1930s and 1940s,the golden days of the black and white movies.Most of the famous motion picture corporations of those days,Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer,Columbia and Warner Brothers are still very much in business and great stars like Greta Garbo,Marlene Dietrich,Charlie Chaplin,Gary Cooper,and many others besides have become immortal.In those days Hollywood was like a magnet,drawing ambitious young men and women from all over the world.Most of them had only heir good looks to recommend them and had no acting experience or ability-whatsoever.(3)Occasionally they got jobs,if they were lucky enough to be noticed.Gary Cooper was one of the few who were noticed.He started as a stunt rider,and from there rose to be one of the great stars of the early Westerns.Many of the girls got jobs in cafes or gas stations,and as they served their customers they tossed their heads and swung their hips,hoping to attract the attentions of some important person connected with the movies.Most of them hoped in vain.As for the stars themselves,they were held on a tight rein by the studio chiefs who could make or break all but the stars with really big appeal.(4)The stars were“persuaded”to sign seven-year contracts,during which time the studios built up their images.Under their contracts the stars did not have the right to choose their parts.Their studios decided everything.你考研的超级班主任 让考研更轻松！你考研的超级班主任 让考研更轻松！扫描二维码关注考研班主任 QQ

candidates for the Presidency.(5)The Hollywood studios,by means of advertising,turned starlets into superstars.Many studio chiefs were tyrants,determined to get their own way at all costs,no matter how unscrupulous the means.IV.Reading Comprehension.(25 分，每题 1 分).IV.Reading Comprehension.(25 分，每题 1 分).In this section you will read 6 passages.Each one is followed by several questions about it.You are to choose one best answer to each question.Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage.Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality,but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool.In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and,of course,any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department,famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment.But thats not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university that doesnt even offer a major in electrical engineering.Obviously,this was not a practical choice;I came here for more noble reasons.I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career.I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who werent studying science or engineering.My parents,teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice.They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years,and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering“factories”where they didnt care if you have values or were flexible.I was going to be a complete engineer:technical genius and sensitive humanist all in one.Now Pm not so sure.Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality,as all noble ideals eventually do.After three years of struggling to balance math,physics and engineering courses with liberal-arts courses,I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile engineering with liberal-arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that engineering and the liberal arts simply dont mix as easily as I assumed in high school.Individually they shape a person in very different ways;together they threaten to confuse.The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.你考研的超级班主任 让考研更轻松！你考研的超级班主任 让考研更轻松！扫描二维码关注考研班主任 QQ 公众号：公众号：kaoyan33，获取最新考研咨讯，免费获取更多资料 华东师范大学 2014 年翻译硕士考研真题 5/17 1.The author chose to study engineering

and,undeniably,of New England,Boston is a proud Yankee city and seaport thick with reminders of its past.Bostonians are fiercely loyal,regarding their city as the center of New England,and in colonial times of the whole New World.Boston was the spiritual heart of the 你考研的超级班主任 让考研更轻松！你考研的超级班主任 让考研更轻松！扫描二维码关注考研班主任 QQ 公众号：公众号：kaoyan33，获取最新考研咨讯，免费获取更多资料 华东师范大学 2014 年翻译硕士考研真题 6/17 Revolution,the birthplace of American commerce and industry,and leader of the new nation in the arts and education.These days,the original WASP(White Anglo Saxon Protestants)have been joined by successive generations of Blacks，Irish，Poles and Italians，and the city has developed a more cosmopolitan touch.Boston has a cosier feel to it than most major American cities,and also something of a European flavor its compact and therefore a great place to walk(or jog).Within a comparatively small area you can stroll through 18th century cobbled streets,or on the Common where the colonists grazed their cattle,down by the harbor or river,or around such fine examples of modem architecture as in the Back bay or the impressive Government Center.For all its historical associations,Boston is a city of youth and vitality and many of the citys businesses and courtesies satisfy the young and diverse population.In addition to prestigious Harvard and MIT,there are 70 accredited colleges in Greater Boston,enrolling over a quarter of a million students.Boston acquired its nickname,“the Athens of America”,by the 19th century and continues to earn it as a center for music,literature and the arts.At any time it is possible to see good theatre,modem dance and hear classical,jazz,folk or new wave music.Sport too has its place.In summer,when the Boston Red Sox baseball team is battling it out in the race for the American League title,the only real place to be is at Fenway Park,eating hot dogs and guzzling coke,but never on any account cheering for the opposition.In winter the mania transfers itself to basketball with the Celtics,football with the New England Patriots,and to ice hockey with the Boston Bruins.Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false.6.Boston is a southern city.7.In Colonial times,Boston was the spiritual heart of the Revolution,the birthplace of American commerce and industry.8.Boston is a city of history,not of youth and vitality.9.Boston has the nickname of“the Athens of America”.10.Red Sox is the name of the baseball team in Boston.Questions 11 to 14 are based on the following passage.Television has broken down class and regional boundaries to a far greater extent than have other media.Books and newspapers are segregated by area and readership.Only the well-educated can read serious books,and the style of The New York Times only appeals to those with a certain level of 你考研的超级班主任 让考研更轻松！你考研的超级班主任 让考研更轻松！扫描二维码关注考研班主任 QQ 公众号：公众号：kaoyan33，获取最新考研咨讯，免费获取更多资料 华东师范大学 2014 年翻译硕士考研真题 7/17 education and wealth.Thus,to some extent,newspapers and books encourage the segregation of knowledge.Radio began to break down that segregation.Television goes much further.There are programs which cater to more elite audiences and are watched only by them,but insofar as television seeks the lowest common denominator and finds it,Americans as a group are introduced to the same themes in the same way.Docudramas,of which the series Roots is a prime example,as well as the six oclock news are watched by millions of American of all education and social backgrounds.Everybody sees the same pictures and receives the same information.Decide whether each of the following statements is true or false.11.Different people read the same books.12.The segregation of knowledge is encouraged by television.13.Everyone reads The New York Times.14.Different people from different parts of the country watch the same television programs.Questions 15 to 18 are based on the following passage.It hasnt always been easy to know the time.A long time ago people looked at the sun.The sun was their clock.They could tell the time of day by the place of the sun in the sky:morning,noon,or afternoon.After many years people began to see something else about the sun.When the sun shone on something,it made a dark shadow behind it.This was the place hat didnt get sunlight.As the sun moved across the sky,the shadow moved too.People could tell time better by the shadows than by the sun.They began to make sundials to tell the time.Around the year 1200,someone made the first mechanical clock.It was a mechanical clock because it was a machine that ran by itself.It didnt need the help of anything in nature.People carried the first watches in their pockets.Then during World War I men started wearing their watches on their wrists,not in their pockets.It was easier and faster to tell the time.Now almost everyone wears a wristwatch.Many other clocks run on electricity.Electric clocks run better than most other clocks.Today people want to know the exact time.Exact Means the time is not a few minutes before or after,but the
