An impressive claim, but the only way to find out if Suzhou is indeed one of thes
8、e two earthly paradises is to actually visit the place. Suzhou sits only four meters above sea level, so water features heavily in the landscape of its canal towns, as well as in the serene classical gardens that have been designated as World Heritage sites. This was immediately obvious on arrival,
9、with rivers and canals crisscrossing the streets on the ten-minute walk from the train station to my riverside hostel. Because of Suzhous location near the mouth of the Yangtze, numerous canals were built to stabilize the flood-prone delta areas. Several other towns and cities in the region followed
10、 suit, creating what has become known as Chinas region of water towns. As well as the countless lakes, 35 kilometers of rivers, and 168 bridges nearby, the Grand Canal is another significant draw. Stretching from Beijing to Hangzhou, it cuts an impressive path from north to south, and brought signif
11、icant trade to the towns. After a few minutes exploration down some of its many back streets, I discovered why Suzhou is often praised as the “Venice of the Orient“. Aside from the countless picturesque stone bridges peppering the city, Suzhou, like Venice, was once a great trading port, supplying g
12、oods from Chinas “most productive land“. And during my brief visit I saw many small boats using the rivers to transport goods throughout the city. Its also the silk capital of China. In ancient times it was from here that silk would have been transported along the Grand Canal to Beijing, and eventua
13、lly all the way along the silk road to places as far away as Rome. Even today, Suzhous silk exports account for 30 percent of the countrys total. With its mild climate, fertile land and abundance of produce, it is no wonder that Suzhou is referred to as “heaven on earth“. Suzhous gardens date back a
14、s far as 600 AD. These gardens were designed by artists who were hired at the height of the Tang and Song dynasties, and used four basic elements to create a harmony between heaven and earth: trees, water, bridges and rock. With an abundance of water, and stones brought from nearby Lake Tai, it was
15、the trees (the older the better) which were the most prized elements of the gardens. The gardens are not known for their size, but for their delicate design incorporating hills and ponds, terraces and corridors. Suzhou also has a strong tradition of Kunqu Opera, which was listed by UNESCO in 2001 as
16、 one of the “Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity“. A good place to see it is at the Garden of the Master of the Nets, which is also one of the citys nine gardens to have earned a UNESCO World Heritage listing. 12 Why Do We Dream? Our dreams may affect our lives (and vice ver
17、sa) more than we ever realized, says new research. For 11 years, a 58-year-old anthropologist kept a journal of nearly 500 dreams by a man. By analyzing color patterns in the dreams, Arizona-based researcher Robert Hoss could accurately predict certain things about the mans emotional state. Hoss cor

The anthropologist confirmed that in 1997 he had clashed with a colleague over a management issue, and in 2003 hed had a falling out with a friend that left deep emotional scars. How was Hoss able to gauge the dreamers
19、 turmoil? “The clues were in the colors,“ he says. The anthropologists dominant dream hues were reds and blacks, which spiked during difficult times. “Even without knowing the events in his life,“ Hoss observes, “we accurately determined the emotional states based on those colors in his dreams. “ Ho
20、ss is among a growing group of researchers who, thanks to cutting-edge medical technology and innovative psychological research, are beginning to decipher the secrets hidden in our dreams and the role dreaming plays in our lives. A look at some of their latest discoveries can give us new insights in
21、to the language of dreams. Dreams are a way for the subconscious to communicate with the conscious mind. Dreaming of something youre worried about, researchers say, is the brains way of helping you rehearse for a disaster in case it occurs. Dreaming of a challenge, like giving a presentation at work
22、 or playing sports, can enhance your performance. And cognitive neuroscientists have discovered that dreams and the rapid eye movement (REM) that happens while youre dreaming are linked to your ability to learn and remember. Dreaming is a “mood regulatory system“ , says Rosalind Cartwright, PhD, cha
23、irman of the psychology department at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. Shes found that dreams help people work through the days emotional quandaries. “Its like having a built-in therapist,“ says Cartwright. While we sleep, dreams compare new emotional experience to old memories, creating p
24、laid-like patterns of old images laid on top of new ones. As she puts it, “You may wake up and think, What was Uncle Harry doing in my dream? I havent seen him for 50 years. But the old and new images are emotionally related. “ Its the job of the conscious mind to figure out the relationship. In fac

29、名家。他的花鸟画，主要受吴元瑜的影响；在书法方面，他最初是向黄庭坚学习，后来自创瘦金体，和他的绘画技法相得益彰。宋徽宗在位时，广收古书画，网罗画家，扩充翰林图画院，将画家的地位提到在中国历史上最高的位置。 宋徽宗在不断提高自身书画艺术水平的同时，还积极致力于书画艺术的改革创新，他深感由宫廷招募而来的画师们工匠气太重，其 作品写意性很差。因此，他于崇宁三年设立画学，这是世界上较早的绘画专科学校，开辟了我国教育史上的新局面。他还以画作为科举升官的一种考试，每年以诗词做题目，刺激出许多新的创意佳画。如题目为 “深山藏古寺 ”，许多人画深山寺院飞檐，但得第一名的没有画任何房屋，只画了一个和尚在山溪挑水

36、北京到杭州，由北向南开了一个通道，给苏州带来巨大的贸易商源。 苏州有不少小街，花上几分钟，走上几 条看了看，我便找到了苏州被誉为 “东方威尼斯 ”的原因了。且不论散布城内许多别致如画的石拱桥，苏州和威尼斯一样，也曾是个商贸大港，向外提供中国这个 “高产之乡 ”的物品。短暂的游览期间，我看见许多小船在这些河流中来来往往，把货物运往全城的每个地方。 苏州还是中国的丝绸之都。在古代，丝绸可能是顺着这条大运河运到北京，最终又沿着丝绸之路一直远运罗马等地。这些丝绸正是从这儿发出的。时至今日，苏州丝绸出口仍占全国百分之三十。气候温和，土地肥沃，物产丰富，无怪乎苏州被称为 “人间天堂 ”了。 苏州园林可追溯
37、至公元 600年。这些园林是唐宋巅峰时期聘请艺人设计，以树、水、桥、石这四种基本元素，创造天地之和谐。园中虽充满水景异石 (取自邻近的太湖 )，但最为珍贵的却是树木 (树龄愈老愈好 )。园林的闻名不是因其大小，而是因其设计，它将山亭水榭巧妙地融为一体。 苏州还有厚重的昆曲艺术传统。 2001年，联合国教科文组织将其列入 “人类口头和非物质文化遗产代表作 ”。要看昆曲表演有个好去处，就是网师园，它也是苏州九个被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录的园林之一。 【知识模块】 英译汉 12 【正确答案】 我们为什么做梦 ? 有新研究表明，我们的梦对生活的影响 (以及生活对梦的影响 )比我们已意识到的要多
38、。 11年来， 58岁的人类学家罗伯特 ?胡斯记录下一名男子近 500个睡梦，通过分析这些睡梦的彩色图案，这位在亚利桑那州工作的研究员准确地测出了和该做梦男子情绪状态有关的一些事情。该男子在生活中曾经历两次危机，发生在不同的年份，胡斯都准确无误地测了出来。胡斯认定，该男子在 1997年曾为管理上的事情与一位同事有过冲突，而在 2003年又和一位朋友闹翻，受了很深的情感创伤。 胡斯是如何能够测出做梦者的情感风波呢 ?胡斯说： “线索就在 这些颜色中。 ”胡斯用红色和黑色作为标识睡梦的主色。当做梦人处于困难的时期，这些红色和黑色会产生峰值。胡斯说： “即使不知道他生活中发生过什么事情，根据其睡梦，
39、我们也能准确地测定他的情感状态。 ” 胡斯是正在扩大的研究群体中的一员，他们采用尖端的医疗科技和创新性心理学研究成果，开始破译隐藏在我们的睡梦中的秘密，探究出睡梦在我们的生活中起到的作用。看看他们最新的一些发现，可以让我们对人们梦中的表达方式有进一步的了解。 梦是潜意识和意识沟通的一种方式。研究人员说，梦到你所担心的东西，这是大脑在以它的方式帮 你进行预演，以防不测。梦到某种挑战，比如做工作报告、参加比赛，能够增强你的工作能力。认知神经科学家已发现，做梦和做梦中眼球的快速转动 (REM)与学习能力和记忆能力有关。 芝加哥拉什大学医学中心心理学系主任罗莎琳德 -卡特赖特博士说，做梦是一种“情绪调
40、节系统 ”。她发现，梦能帮助人们克服白天遇到的情感困境。她说， “这就像是人体有个内置的治疗师。 ”在睡梦中，梦境将我们新的情感经历和已有的记忆进行比较，就像用原有记忆影像造出格状模型，再将这一模型置于新影像之上进行比较。如她所说， “你可能醒来后在想： 哈里叔叔 跑到我的梦里干什么 ?我都有 50年没见他了。 因为，在情感上新旧影像是相互关联的。 ”弄清楚它们的关系，就是显意识要做的事情了。 事实上，睡梦中所表现出的情感，有助于治疗师医治经历过生活创伤的患者。卡特赖特对 30名离异的成年人进行研究，在研究中，她连续 5个多月跟踪记录了这些人的梦境，以测定他们对前配偶的感情。她发现，那些在梦中
41、对配偶表现得最为愤怒的那些人，最有可能成功地处理离婚问题。卡特赖特还说， “如果他们的梦境很平和，那么说明他们还没有解决好情感上的纠葛，还没有处理好离婚问题。 ”对治疗师而言，这一发现将 帮助测定离婚男女是需要心理咨询呢，还是已经通过做梦把烦恼抛开了。 【知识模块】 英译汉 SECTION 1 Compulsory Translation (20 points) 13 【正确答案】 Comrade Yang Jingzhi came back to Beijing a week ago from Shanghai where he had spent his vacation visiting

47、 Emperor Huizong the Painter and Calligrapher Emperor Huizong was the eighth and one of the most famous emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In terms of calligraphy, he first learned from Huang Tingjian, but later he created his own style known as the “ Slender Gold“ ( Shou Jin Ti) the name “ Slender Gold“ came from the fact

While devoting himself to his own artistic improvement, Huizong also concentrated on the renovation and innovation of painting and calligraphy. He was acutely a
