Questions 21~25
I got used, too, to my employer's violent changes of front. There was one morning when Siegfried came down to breakfast, rubbing a hand wearily over red- rimmed eyes.
“Out at 2 a. m. ,” he groaned, buttering his toast listlessly, “And I don't like to have to say this, James, but it's all your fault.”
“My fault?” I said, startled.
“Yes lad, your fault. The farmer has a sick cow for several days and at 2 o'clock this morning he finally decided to call the vet. When I pointed out it could have waited a few hours more he said Mr. Herriot told him never to hesitate to ring—he'd come out any hour of the day or night.”
He tapped the top of his egg as though the effort was almost too much for him. “Well, it's all very well being conscientious and all that, but if a thing has waited several days it can wait till morning. You're spoiling these chaps, James, and I'm getting the backwash of it. I'm sick and tired of being dragged out of bed for trifles.”
“I'm truly sorry, Siegfried. I honestly had no wish to do that to you. Maybe it s just my inexperience. If I didn't go out, I d be worried the animal might die. If I left it till morning and it died, how would I feel?”
“That s all right,” snapped Siegfried. “There's nothing like a dead animal to bring them to their senses. They'll call us out a bit earlier next time.”
I absorbed this bit of advice and tried to act on it. A week later, Siegfried said he wanted a work with me.
“James, I know you won't mind my saying this, but old Sumner was complaining to me today. He says he rang you the other night and you refused to come out to his cow. He's a good client, you know, and a very nice fellow, but he was quite shirty about it. We don t want to lose a chap like that.”
“But it was just a chronic mastitis,” I said' A bit of thickening in the milk, that's all. He d been dosing it himself for nearly a week with some quack remedy. The cow was eating all right, so I thought it would be quite safe to leave it till next day.”
Siegfried put a hand on my shoulder and an excessively patient look spread
over his face. I steeled myself. I didn't mind his impatience, I was used to it and could stand it. But the patience was hard to take.
“James, ”he said in a gentle voice,“ there is one fundamental rule in our job which transcends all others, and I'll tell you what it is. YOU MUST ATTEND. That is it and it ought to be written on your on your soul in letters of fire.”
21. Siegfried was not at his best on one morning because _____________. (A) his breakfast was not to his liking

(A) You must follow your conscience
(B) You must use your powers of discretion (C) You must go out whenever you are called (D) You must pay close attention at all times
25. The impression James gives of Siegfried is that of ____________. (A) a fairly easy- going generous employer
(B) someone rather pompous and unpredictable (C) a conscientious but senile old man (D) an insufferable, tyrannical boss
Questions 26~30
Most towns up to Elizabethan times were smaller than a modern village and each of them was built around its weekly market where local produce was brought for sale and the towns fold sold their work to the people from the countryside and provided them with refreshment for the day. Trade was virtually confined to that one day even in a town of a thousand or so people. On marlet days craftsmen put up their stalls in the open air whilst on one or two other days during the week the townsman would pack up his loaves, or nails, or cloth, and set out early to do a day s trade in the market of an adjoining town where, however, he would be charged a heavy toll for the privilege and get a less favourable spot for his stand than the local craftsmen. Another chance for him to make a sale was to the congregation gathered for Sunday morning worship. Although no trade was allowed anywhere during the hours of the service (except at annual fair times), after church there would be some trade at the church door with departing country folk.
The trade of markets was almost wholly concerned with exchanging the products of the nearby countryside and the goods sold in the market but particularly in food retail dealing was distrusted as a kind of profiteering. Even when there was enough trade being done to afford a livelihood to an
enterprising man ready to buy wholesale and sell retail, town authorities were reluctant to allow it.
Yet there were plainly people who were tempted to “forestall the market” by buying goods outside it, and to “regrate”(囤货V.) them, that is to resell them, at a higher price. The constantly repeated rules against these practices and the endlessly recurring prosecutions mentioned in the records of all the larger towns prove that some well- informed and sharp- witted people did these things. Every town made its own laws and if it was big enough to have craft guilds, these associations would regulate the business of their members and tried to enforce a strict monopoly of their own trades. Yet while the guild leaders, as craftsmen, followed fiercely protectionist policies, at the same time, as leading townsmen, they wanted to see a big, busy market yielding a handsome revenue in various dues and tolls. Conflicts of interest led to endless, minute regulations, changeable, often inconsistent, frequently absurd. There was a time in the fourteenth century, for example, when London fishmongers were not allowed to handle any fish that had not already been exposed for sale for three days by the men who caught it.
26. Craftsmen might prefer to trade in their own town because there they could _________.
(A) easily find good refreshment (B) work in the open air (C) start work very early (D) have the well- placed stalls 27. A tradesman was not allowed to sell his goods only ________________. (A) on special market days (B) at the annual fairs
(C) during Sunday morning services (D) by the end of the services 28. In medieval markets there was little retail trade because ___________. (A) money was never used in sales
(B) producers sold directly to consumers (C) there were no fixed positions for shops (D) authorities were unwilling to make a profit
29. The expression “forestall the market” (Paragraph 3) means “______________”.
(A) buy from a stall outside the market place
(B) acquire goods in quantity before the market http://tr.hjenglish.com/ (C) have the best and the first stall in the market (D) sell at a higher price than competitors
30. It can be concluded from the passage that the regulations enforced by craft guilds were often ______________.
(A) unfair and unreasonable (B) in the interest of the customers (C) too complicated to comply with (D) disapproved by the local authorities SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes)

If the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) thinks it can largely curtail the nation's terrorism problems by focusing on college students, we all should worry.
Identification cards already are required here for most persons to enter their workplace, take an airplane flight or go into a public building,
including my campus library. The idea of a national ID, however, was knocked out of earlier drafts of legislation by a coalition of civil rights and ethnic groups,who opposed a requirement that all non- citizens carry identifying documents. In some degree, they have a point. http://tr.hjenglish.com/
We must face the fact—and benefit from realizing－that no one can drive, or fly, or enter many private and public buildings without a picture ID, usually a driver's license or passport. That means that practically all Americans already must have what in effect is a national ID card.
We already routinely screen people. If we would just make good use of the national ID cards we have—and improve them—we could enhance our safety, avoid discrimination and not spend millions on another system. SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2) (30 minutes)

如果移民归化局认为，它能够通过对大学生进行重点管理，大幅度地减少在美国的恐怖主义活动，我们大家都应 为此担心。
在美国，现在大多数人进入工作场所、乘飞机或进入公共大楼，包括我所在大学的图书馆，已经需要出示身份证。然而，倡导民权的团体和少数民族团体反对一切非美国公民必须随身携带身份证的规定，他们结成联盟，推翻了立法的最初几稿中关于实施全国统一身份证的主张。在某种程度上，他们是有道理的。
我们必须面对这一事实，并因认识到这一事实而获益，即每一个人驾车、乘飞机、或进入许多私人大楼或公共大楼，都必须出示有照片的身份证，通常是驾驶执照或护照。这意味着，实际上所有美国人早就必须持有事实上全国通用的身份证。
对人们进行甄别，在我们这儿早就是例行公事。只要好好使用大家已持有的全国通用身份证，并加以改进，就可以增强安全，避免歧视，而不必在另一个系统花上数百万美元。 SECTION 4：TRANSLATION TEST （2） http://tr.hjenglish.com/
