【正文】 anguage to do this.Nonetheless, Nietzsche admitted, the English have taken admirable steps in the direction of that ideal ... the reason is that they [natural history books] are written by their most distinguished scholars—whole, plete and fulfilling natures. The English language tradition of nature writing and narrating natural history is gloriously rich, and although it may not make any bold claims to improving health and wellbeing, it does a good job—for readers and the subjects of the writing. Where the insights of field naturalists meet the legacy of poets such as Clare, Wordsworth, Hughes and Heaney, there emerges a language as vivid as any cultural achievement. That this language is still alive and kicking and read every day in a newspaper is astounding. So to hold a century39。s worth of country diaries is, for an interloper like me, both an inspiring and humbling experience. But is this the best way of representing nature, or is it a cultural default? Will the next century of writers want to shake loose from this tradition? What happens next?Over the years, nature writers and country diarists have developed an increasingly sophisticated ecological literacy of the world around them through the naming of things and an understanding of the relationships between them. They find ways of linking simple observations to bigger issues by remaining in the present, the particular. For writers of my generation, a nostalgia for lost wildlife and habitats and the business of bearing witness to a war of attrition in the countryside colours what we39。re about. The anxieties of future generations may not be the same.Articulating the wild as a qualitative character of nature and context for the more quantitative notion of biodiversity will, I believe, bee a more dynamic cultural project. The rewilding of lands and seas, coupled with a rewilding of experience and language, offers fertile ground for writers. A response to the anxieties springing from climate change, and a general fear of nature answering our continued environmental injustices with violence, will need a reassessment of our feelings for the nature we like—cultural landscapes, continuity, native species—as well as the nature we don39。t like—rising seas, droughts, invasive species. Whether future writers take their sensibilities for a walk and, like a pack of wayward dogs unleashed, let them loose in hills and woods to sniff out some fugitive truth hiding in the undergrowth, or choose to honestly recount the thisiswhereIam, thisiswhatIsee approach, they will be hitched to the values implicit in the language they use. They should challenge these.Perhaps they will see our natural history as a contributor to the modification of nature and the obsessive managerialism of our times. Perhaps they will see our romanticism as a blanket thrown over the traumatised victim of the countryside. But maybe they will follow threads we found in the writings of others and find their own way to wonder 16.The major theme of the passage is about ______.(A) the 19th century philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche(B) the development of the discipline of natural history(C) the English language tradition of nature writing(D) the style of nature writing and country diaries17.In writing the essay, the author seems to be directly talking to the future generations and future writers probably because ______.(A) they will carry forward the tradition of nature writing(B) they will confront a changing environment and have their own perspective of natural history(C) they will study the causes of climate change and promote the notion and significance of biodiversity(D) they will value more the sophisticated ecological literacy of the nature writers and country diarists18.The author says that our feelings for the nature we like (as well as the nature we don39。t like) will need a reassessment probably because ______.(A) we should not like the cultural landscapes, continuity and native species(B) we should not hate the rising seas, droughts, and invasive species(C) our feelings are often irrational and subjective(D) our feelings are always focusing on ourselves19.It can be concluded that the tone of the passage is basically ______.(A) assertive and radical(B) explicit and straightforward (C) neutral and impartial(D) implicit and explorative20.Which of the following statements is NOT in agreement with the author39。s view?(A) The English tradition of nature writing should be reflected and reconsidered.(B) The values implicit in the language of natural history should be challenged.(C) The rewilding of human experience and language will greatly benefit us.(D) The rewilding of lands and seas will bring us more disasters. SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TESTWell before his death, Peter Drucker had already bee a legend. Over his 95 prolific years, he had been a true Renaissance man, and teacher of religion, philosophy and political science. But his most important contribution, clearly, is in business. What John Keynes is to economics, Druckers is to ://In the 1980s Peter Druckers began to have grave doubts about business and even capitalism itself. He no longer saw the corporation as the ideal space to create munity. In fact, he saw nearly the opposite: a place where selfinterest had triumphed over the egalitarian principles he long championed. In both his writings and speeches, Druckers emerged as one of Corporate America39。s most important critics. When conglomerates were the rage, he preached against reckless mergers and acquisitions. When executives were engaged in empirebuilding, he argued against excess staff and the inefficiencies of numerous assistants to.In a 1984 essay he persuasively argued that CEO pay had rocketed out of control and implored boards to hold CEO pensation to no more than 20 times what the rank and file made.
