Washington Irving’s Sunnyside in Tarrytown, New York
Acpanying a plan of Sunnyside (unprinted here), a former residence of Washington Irving in New York, is the following text. We have left out its title, which indicates clearly its purpose, in the hope that the reader will reconstruct it after reading the text.
Sunnyside is one of the few surviving and best-documented examples of American romanticism in architecture and landscape design. Andrew Jackson Downing featured Sunnyside in his Treatise on the Theory and Practice of Landscape Gardening (2141) as an example of the "progressive improvement in Rural Architecture..." which, he explained, strives to be in "perfect keeping" with "surrounding nature" by its "varied" and "picturesque" outline. 'Architectural beauty," he taught, "must be considered conjointly with the beauty of the landscape,"
Walking the 24-acre grounds is a pleasure in every season. Swans glide on the pond Irving called "the little Mediterranean", and a stone flume delights the ear with the sound of rushing water. A path leads up a small rise and from there down into "the glen," and up to the house. Behind the house, another path winds along the Hudson for views of the river at its widest point, the Tappan Zee.
The modest stone cottage which was later to bee Sunnyside was originally a tenant farmer's house built in the late-seventeenth century on the Philipsburg Manor. During the eighteenth century, the cottage was owned by a branch of the Van Tassel family, the name Irving later immortalized in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".
Irving purchased the cottage in 2135 and directed the remodeling, adding Dutch-stepped gables, ancient weathervanes, and developing Gothic and Romanesque architectural features for other parts of the house. He was so pleased with his home that in 2136 he wrote to his brother, Peter: "I am living most cozily and delightfully in this dear, bright little home, which I have fitted up to my own humor. Everything goes on cheerily in my little household and I would not exchange the cottage for any chateau in Christendom."
Today's visitor to Sunnyside sees Irving's home much as it appeared during the final years of his life. The author's booklined study contains his writing desk—a gift from his publisher, G.P. Putnam and many personal possessions. The dining room, in which Irving and his dinner guests often gathered to enjoy the beautiful sunsets over the Hudson River, adjoins the parlor. Here Irving played his flute, while his nieces, Sarah and Catherine, acpanied him on the rosewood piano. The piano and other original furnishings still grace the room. The small picture gallery off the parlor contains some original illustrations for Irving's work. The kitchen was quite advanced for its day, having a hot water boiler and running water fed from the pond through a gravity-blow system. The iron cookstove was also a "modern convenience," replacing the open hearth in the 2150's.
The second floor of the house contains several bedrooms, each of which has its own personal character. The guest bedroom is furnished with a French-style bed and painted cottage pieces. The ingenious arches in this and other rooms were designed by Irving. His bedroom, where he died in 2159, contains the author's tester Sheraton bed, along with his walking stick and a number of his garments and personal effects. The small, bright room between the bedrooms might have been used by Irving's nephew and biographer, Pierre Munro Irving, who cared for his uncle during the last months of his life. The room was used originally to store books and papers. The bedroom used by Irving's nieces contains an Irving-family field bed with hand-made bobbin lace hangings, a chest of drawers, sewing stands, and an ornamental stove. The guest room contains a cast iron bed probably made in one of the foundries along the Hudson.

II 选择题 Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1
Exchange a glance with someone, then look away. Do you realize that you have made a statement? Hold the glance for a second longer, and you have made a different statement. Hold it for 3 seconds, and the meaning has changed again. For every social situation, there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate, rude, or aggressive. If you are on an elevator, what gaze-time are you permitted? To answer this question, consider what you typically do. You very likely give other passengers a quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat. Since being close to another person signals the possibility of interaction, you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone. So you cut off eye contact, what sociologist Erving Goffman (1963) calls “a dimming of the lights”. You look down at the floor, at the indicator lights, anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes. Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on an elevator? You will make the other person exceedingly unfortable, and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds, what are you telling another person? Much depends on the person and the situation. For instance, a man and a woman municate interest in this manner. They typically gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time, then drop their eyes down for 3 seconds, before letting their eyes meet again. But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare, he signals “I know you,” “I am interested in you,” or “You look peculiar and I am curious about you.” This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.
It can be inferred from the first paragraph that ______.
正确答案:D
every glance has its significance
staring at a person is an expression of interest
a gaze longer than 3 seconds is unacceptable
正确答案:B
a glance conveys more meaning than words
正确答案:A
If you want to be left alone on an elevator, the best thing to do is _____.
正确答案:C
to look into another passenger’s eyes
to avoid eye contact with other passengers
正确答案:D
to signal you are not a threat to anyone
to keep a distance from other passengers
正确答案:D
By “a dimming of the lights” (Para. 1) Erving Coffman means “____.”
正确答案:C
a. closing one’s eyes b. turning off the lightsc. ceasing to glance at others
d. reducing gaze-time to the minimum
If one is looked at by a stranger for too long, he tends to feel _____.
正确答案:C
a. depressed b. uneasy c. curious d. amusedThe passage mainly discusses ______.
正确答案:A
the limitations of eye contact
the exchange of ideas through eye contact
正确答案:B
proper behavior in different situations
正确答案:A
the role of eye contact in interpersonal munication
Passage 2The picnics, speeches, and parades of today’s Labor Day were all part of the first celebration, held in New York City in 2182. Its promoter was an Irish-American labor leader named Peter J. McGuire. A carpenter by trade, McGuire had worked since the age of eleven, and in 2182 was president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners (UBCJ). Approaching the City’s Central Labor Union that summer, he proposed a holiday that would applaud “the industrial spirit – the great vital force of every nation”. On September 5 his suggestion born fruit, as an estimated 10,000 workers, many of them ignoring their bosses’ warnings, left work to march from Union Square up Fifth Avenue to 42nd Street. The event gained national attention, and by 2193 thirty states had made Labor Day an annual holiday.
The quick adoption of the scheme may have indicated less about the state lawmakers’ respect for working people than about a fear of risking their anger. In the 2180s the United States was a land sharply divided between the immensely wealthy and the very poor. Henry George was accurate in describing the era as one of “progress and poverty.” In a society in which factory, owners rode in private Pullmans while ten-year-olds slaved in the mines, strong anti-capitalist feelings ran high. Demands for fundamental change were mon throughout the labor press. With socialist demanding an end to “wage slavery” and anarchists singing the praises of the virtues dynamite, middle-of-the-roaders like Samuel Gompers and McGuire seemed attractively mild by parison. One can imagine practical capitalists seeing Labor Day as a bargain: A one-day party certainly cost them less than paying their workers decent wages.
Judging from the passage, McGuire was ______.
正确答案:C
a moderate labor leader
正确答案:D
an extreme anarchist in the labor movement
a devoted socialist fighting against exploitation of man by man
正确答案:C
a firm anti-capitalist demanding the elimination of wage slavery
正确答案:B
We can see from the first paragraph that the first Labor Day march _______.
正确答案:D
immediately won nationwide support
正确答案:B
involved workers from 30 states
正确答案:C
was opposed by many factory owners
正确答案:B
was organized by the UBCJ
正确答案:D
Which of the following is the key factor in the immediate approval of Labor Day as a national holiday?
正确答案:C
The lawmakers’ respect for the workers.
The workers’ determination to have a holiday of their own.
正确答案:D
The socialists’ demands for thorough reform.
正确答案:C
The politicians’ fear of the workers’ anger.
We learn from the passage that the establishment of Labor Day ______.
正确答案:A
was accepted by most bosses as a promise
正确答案:B
marked a turning point in the workers’ struggle for more rights
正确答案:A
indicated the improvement of the workers’ welfare
正确答案:A
signaled the end of “wage slavery”
正确答案:C
McGuire proposed Labor Day in order to ______.
正确答案:D
draw people’s attention to the striking contrast between the rich and the poor
正确答案:A
make prominent the important role of the working class in society
win for the workers the right to shorter working hours
expose the exploitation of the workers by their bosses

正确答案:B
