3、 1969and the last foot of film was shot in December 1972. An undertaking as large as this, though wonderfully exhilarating, is not entered lightly. It demands an unflagging intellectual and physical vigour, a total immersion, which I had to be sure that I could sustain with pleasure; for instance, I

4、 had to put off researches that I had already begun; and I ought to explain what moved me to do so. There has been a deep change in the temper of science in the last20 years: the focus of attention has shifted from the physical to the life sciences. As a result, science is drawn more and more to the

5、 study of individuality. But the interested spectator is hardly aware yet how far-reaching the effect is in changing the image of man that science moulds. As a mathematician trained in physics, I too would have been unaware, had not a series of lucky chances taken me into the life sciences in middle

6、 age. I owe a debt for the good fortune that carried me into two seminal fields of science in one lifetime; and though I do not know to whom the debt is due, I conceived The Ascent of Man in gratitude to repay it. The invitation to me from the British Broadcasting Corporation was to present the deve

7、lopment of science in a series of television programmes to match those of Lord Clark on Civilisation. Television is an admirable medium- for exposition in several ways: powerful and immediate to the eye, able to take the spectator bodily into the places and processes that are described, and conversa

8、tional enough to make him conscious that what he witnesses are not events but the actions of people. The last of these merits is to my mind the most cogent, and it weighed most with me in agreeing to cast a personal biography of ideas in the form of television essays. The point is that knowledge in

9、general and science in particular does not consist of abstract but of man-made ideas, all the way from its beginnings to its modern and idiosyncratic models. Therefore the underlying concepts that unlock nature must be shown to arise early and in the simplest cultures of man from his basic and speci

10、fic faculties. And the development of science which joins them in more and more complex conjunctions must be seen to be equally human: discoveries are made by men, not merely by minds, so that they are alive and charged with individuality. If television is not used to make these thoughts concrete, i

11、t is wasted. Part B Optional Translations （二選一題）（30 points）Topic 1 （選題一）Its not that we are afraid of seeing him stumble, of scribbling a mustache over his career. Sure, the nice part of us wants Mike to know we appreciate him, that he still reigns, at least in our memory. The truth, though, is that

12、 we dont want him to come back because even for Michael Jordan, this would be an act of hubris so monumental as to make his trademark confidence twist into conceit. We dont want him back on the court because no one likes a show-off. The stumbling? That will be fun. But we are nice people, we America

13、ns, with 225 years of optimism at our backs. Days ago when M.J. said he had made a decision about returning to the NBA in September, we got excited. He had said the day before, I look forward to playing, and hopefully I can get to that point where I can make that decision. Its O.K., to have some dou

14、bt, and its O.K. to have some nervousness. A Time/CNN poll last week has Americans, 2 to 1, saying they would like him on the court ASAP. And only 21 percent thought that if he came back and just completely bombed, it would damage his legend. In fact only 28 percent think athletes should retire at t

15、heir peak. Sources close to him tell Time that when Jordan first talked about a comeback with the Washington Wizards, the team Jordan co-owns and would play for, some of his trusted advisers privately tried to discourage him. But they say if they try to stop him, it will only firm up his resolve, sa

16、ys an NBA source. The problem with Jordans return is not only that he cant possibly live up to the storybook ending he gave up in 1998 - earning his sixth ring with a last-second championship-winning shot. The problem is that the motives for coming back - needing the attention, needing to play even

17、when his 38-year-old body does not - violate the very myth of Jordan, the myth of absolute control. Babe Ruth, the 20th centurys first star, was a gust of fat bravado and drunken talent, while Jordan ended the century by proving the elegance of resolve; Babes pointing to the bleachers replaced by th

18、e charm of a backpedaling shoulder shrug. Jordan symbolized success by not sullying his brand with his politics, his opinion or superstar personality. To be a Jordan fan was to be a fan of classiness and confidence. To come back when he knows that playing for Wizards wont get him anywhere near the s

19、econd round of the play-offs, when he knows that he wont be the league scoring leader, thats a loss of control. Jordan does not care what we think. Friends say that he takes articles that tell him not to come back and tacks them all on his refrigerator as inspiration. So why bother writing something

20、 telling him not to come back? He is still Michael Jordan. Topic 2 （選題二）Even after I was too grown-up to play that game and too grown-up to tell my mother that I loved her, I still believed I was the best daughter. Didnt I run all the way up to the terrace to check on the drying mango pickles whenev

21、er she asked?As I entered my teens, it seemed that I was becoming an even better, more loving daughter. Didnt I drop whatever I was doing each afternoon to go to the corner grocery to pick up any spices my mother had run out of? My mother, on the other hand, seemed more and more unloving to me. Some

22、 days she positively resembled a witch as she threatened to pack me off to my second uncles home in provincial Barddhaman - a fate worse than death to a cool Calcutta girl like me - if my grades didnt improve. Other days she would sit me down and tell me about Girls Who Brought Shame to Their Famili

23、es. There were apparently, a million ways in which one could do this, and my mother was determined that I should be cautioned against every one of them. On principle, she disapproved of everything I wanted to do, from going to study in America to perming my hair, and her favorite phrase was over my

24、dead body. It was clear that I loved her far more than she loved me - that is, if she loved me at all. After I finished graduate school in America and got married, my relationship with my mother improved a great deal. Though occasionally dubious about my choice of a writing career, overall she thoug

25、ht Id shaped up nicely. I thought the same about her. We established a rhythm: Shed write from India and give me all the gossip and send care packages with my favorite kind of mango pickle; Id call her from the United States and tell her all the things Id been up to and send care packages with insta

26、nt vanilla pudding, for which shed developed a great fondness. We loved each other equally - or so I believed until my first son, Anand, was born. My sons birth shook up my neat, organized, in-control adult existence in ways I hadnt imagined. I went through six weeks of being shrouded in an exhauste

27、d fog of postpartum depression. As my husband and I walked our wailing baby up and down through the night, and I seriously contemplated going AWOL, I wondered if I was cut out to be a mother at all. And mother love - what was that all about? Then one morning, as I was changing yet another diaper, An

28、and grinned up at me with his toothless gums. Hmm, I thought. This little brown scrawny thing is kind of cute after all. Things progressed rapidly from there. Before I knew it, Id moved the extra bed into the babys room and was spending many nights on it, bonding with my son. Section 2: Chinese- Eng
