　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　Nineteen-year-old Christopher Paolini has always loved adventure books.In fact，he plotted out his first book，Eragon，when he was just fifteen! Eragon is selling more copies than most of the Harry Potter books.A reporter from Who’s News talked to this young author about his books and how he ended up being one of the best-selling authors of all time!

　　Reporter：____________________

　　Christopher Paolini(CP)：I love fantasy.I love the sense of awe and wonder that you always get at the end of a great book or movie.Eragon was an attempt to express that.When I was about twelve, I read a book called Jeremy Thatcher，Dragon Hatcher.It’s about a young boy who went into a mysterious shop and bought a dragon egg that ends up hatching.It stuck in my head.Eragon was an attempt to see what I could do with the idea myself.

　　Reporter：Where else do you get your ideas?

　　CP：I’m definitely influenced by authors who have a fairly inventive use of language，imaginative worlds and a sense of wonder－authors who write about things that other people don’t.

　　Reporter：What was the hardest thing about writing Eragon?

　　CP：Probably the editing because I wasn’t used to it.It was a kind of shock doing it.But also I was having to learn a huge amount about grammar and commas and other things I’d never paid much attention to before.I’d say that editing and writing are pretty much equal in difficulty.My raw writing is a lot more professional now than it ever was before because of everything I learned through the editing process.

　　Reporter：How do you avoid becoming frustrated with the writing process?

　　CP：Write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most; otherwise you’ll never be able to survive a book-length project.

　　Reporter：Anything else you’d like to share with our readers?

　　CP：Before I wrote Eragon，I spent an entire month plotting out the entire story so I wasn’t writing blindly.That helps.I really poured my heart and soul into it.It’s not just an adventure story：it is about Eragon trying to work out who we are，why we are here and how we can live honorably.

　　1．The reporter’s first question is most likely to be“________”．

　　A．What’s the most interesting thing about Eragon?

　　B．What inspired you to write Eragon?

　　C．How has your writing improved after Eragon?

　　D．How long did it take you to write Eragon?

　　2．What does the underlined word“that”refer to in the third paragraph?

　　A．A story.

　　B．The sense of awe and wonder.

　　C．An idea.

　　D．A great book or movie.

　　3．What does Paolini find as difficult as writing?

　　A．Plotting out the story.

　　B．Grammar and commas.

　　C．The editing process.

　　D．The creative use of language.

　　4．Which of the following BEST indicates Paolini devoted himself completely to writing Eragon?

　　A．“Write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most.”

　　B．“Eragon was an attempt to see what I could do with the idea myself.”

　　C．“I spent an entire month plotting out the entire story.”

　　D．“I really poured my heart and soul into it.”

　　B

　　One month into my French degree course at Nottingham University，I was eager to travel around，having just spent a year working as a teacher in Nepal. Two years later，my schedule reads more like a traveller’s than a student’s does，having spent 18 months abroad under university programmes.

　　I have seen many students abandon their studies，desiring to see the world before making any long-term decisions. My advice for would-be globe travellers is to choose a degree subject that you find truly interesting，and use the resources available to see as much of the world as possible.So no longer does the “travel or study” question need an either/or response；with a little research and organization，it’s possible to combine the two.Two programmes that allow you to do this are “Erasmus” and “U21”．

　　The Erasmus Programme aims to increase student mobility within the European Union and associated states.Participants under this programme get to spend a semester (學(xué)期) at a foreign university，often receiving a grant (助學(xué)金) from the EU or their home department.By the start of the next academic year，more than one million students will have benefited under Erasmus.Not only do you get to sit through hours of lectures in the local language，you also gain cultural experience in the country.France，Germany and Spain are always popular，but the EU encourages applications to countries where less popular languages are spoken，such as Greece and Protugal.Theoretically，students of any subject can participate in the Erasmus Programme，although it depends on the involvement of your specific department in the project.The reality is that，in many universities，the programme is most commonly intended for modern language students.

　　For a French student like me，Melbourne in Australia seems an unlikely destination，yet I was sent there in my second year.U21 is a multinational association of universities throughout the world，which have united to offer their students the opportunity to study abroad for a semester.The applicant’s destination depends on the links between their department and the corresponding departments of member universities，which can be found in countries such as New Zealand，China，Singapore，Canada，Sweden and the United States.

　　5．What happened to many students who travelled while studying?

　　A．They chose a degree subject that they found truly interesting.

　　B．They abandoned their studies.

　　C．They used the resources available to see the world.

　　D．They responded to the “travel or study” question.

　　6．Who is most likely to be chosen by the Erasmus Programme?

　　A．A student from the EU.

　　B．A student who would be a global traveller.

　　C．A modern language student.

　　D．A student involved in a specific department.

　　7．Which of the following can be the BEST title for the passage?

　　A．Seeing the World with University Students

　　B．Studying and Traveling in the European Union

　　C．Experiencing Foreign Cultures

　　D．Studying Abroad under University Programmes

　　Ⅲ.翻譯句子

　　1．幫助別人是一種習(xí)慣，一種在很小就能學(xué)會的習(xí)慣。(doing做主語)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　2．任何想出主意來解開謎團的人都會獲獎。(come up with)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　3．讓我們極為遺憾的是，他不能接受我們的邀請。(to one’s regret)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　4．鈴聲一響，學(xué)生們就安靜了下來。(No sooner...than...)

　　________________________________________________________________________

　　5．我們已經(jīng)準(zhǔn)備好要搬到新辦公室。(make preparations)
