4、 through this small, proud nation. Last month Wales marked the second anniversary of the opening of the National Assembly, the first parliament to be convened here since 1404. The idea behind devolution was to restore the balance within the union of nations making up the United Kingdom. With most of
5、 the people and wealth, England has always had bragging rights. The partial transfer of legislative powers from Westminster, implemented by Tony Blair, was designed to give the other members of the club- Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales-a bigger say and to counter centrifugal forces that seemed
6、 to threaten the very idea of the union. The Welsh showed little enthusiasm for devolution. Whereas the Scots voted overwhelmingly for a parliament, the vote for a Welsh assembly scraped through by less than one percent on a turnout of less than 25 percent. Its powers were proportionately limited. T
7、he Assembly can decide how money from Westminster or the European Union is spent. It cannot, unlike its counterpart in Edinburgh, enact laws.

13、 in his Welshness as in his membership in the English-speaking, global youth culture and the new federal Europe, Dyfan, like the rest of his generation, is growing up with a sense of possibility unimaginable ten years ago. “We used to think.

The house is dusted, all things fly into their places, the old coat is exchanged for the new, and they must get up
20、a dinner if they can. Of a commended stranger, only the good report is told by others, only the good and new is heard by us. He stands to us for humanity. He is what we wish. Having imagined and invested him, we ask how we should stand related in conversation and action with such a man, and are unea

24、），答案不好找，主要自我发挥。以下在网上搜到的应该是原文： The Sacred “Rac” An Indian anthropologist, Chandra Thapar, made a study of foreign cultures which had customs similar to those of his native land. One culture in particular fascinated him because it reveres one animal as sacred, much as the people in India revere the co
25、w. The tribe Dr.Thapar studied is called the Asu and is found on the American continent in the north of Mexico. Though it seems to be a highly developed society of its type, it has an overwhelming preoccupation with the care and feeding of the rac an animal much like a bull in size, strength and tem
26、perament. In the Asu tribe, it is almost a social obligation to own at least one if not more racs. Anyone not possessing at least one is held in low esteem by the community because he is too poor to maintain one of these beasts properly. Some members of the tribe, to display their wealth and social
27、prestige, even own herds of racs. Unfortunately the rac breed is not very healthy and usually does not live more than five to seven years. Each family invests large sums of money each year to keep its rac healthy and shod, for it has a tendency to throw its shoes often. There are rac specialists in
28、each community, perhaps more than one if it is particularly wealthy. These specialists, however, due to the long period of ritual training they must undergo and to the difficulty of obtaining the right selection of charms to treat the rac, demand costly offerings whenever a tribesman must treat his
29、ailing rac. At the age of sixteen in many Asu communities, many youths undergo a puberty rite in which the rac figures prominently. The youth must petition a high priest in a grand temple. He is then permitted to keep a rac. Although the rac may be used as a beast of burden, it has many habits which
30、 would be considered by other cultures as detrimental to the life of the society. In the first place the rac breed is increasing at a very rapid rate and the Asu tribesmen have given no thought to curbing the rac population. As a consequence the Asu must build more and more paths for the rac to trav
31、el on since its delicate health and its love of racing other racs at high speed necessitates that special areas be set aside for its use. The cost of smoothing the earth is too costly for any one individual to undertake; so it has become a community project and each tribesman must pay an annual tax
32、to build new paths and maintain the old. There are so many paths needed that some people move their homes because the rac paths must be as straight as possible to keep the animal from injuring itself.Df.Thapar also noted that unlike the cow, which many people in his country hold sacred, the excremen
33、t of the rac cannot be used as either fuel of fertilizer. One the contrary, its excrement is exceptionally foul and totally useless. Worst of all, the rac is prone to rampages in which it runs down anything in its path, much like stampeding cattle. Estimates are that the rac kills thousands of the A
34、su in a year. Despite the high cost of it upkeep, the damage it does to the land, and its habit of destructive rampages, the Asu still regard it as being essential to the survival of their culture. （源自 http:/ 3，作文。 定题： My View of Globlization。 400 字。 翻译基础 1， 5 个词语互译。 全是中译英，清一色政治，偏政治性是预料中的，去年就是，好在看了

In the Brown household, Christmas was always a time of delicious food, sing-alongs, colorful gifts, and mysterious codes. Yes, codes. When I was a kid, no C
38、hristmas morning was complete without the annual treasure hunt. When the last present under the Christmas tree had been opened, my siblings and I knew that there still remained one “big“ present hidden somewhere in the house for us to find. Our only hope of locating it was a cryptic clue that tradit
39、ionally resided in a lone envelope perched high on the tree, out of our reach. One year the envelope contained a particularly mind-boggling treasure hunt that my brother, sister and I still recall as The “TOCEP“ Christmas Mystery. (In fact, this treasure hunt directly inspired the scene on page 111
40、of The Da Vinci Code.) That was the year we had a foreign exchange student living with us. Bea was South African and understandably was somewhat overwhelmed by the frenzied anticipation that led up to an American Christmas. Nonetheless, she embraced the decorating, singing, and cooking with a zeal t
41、hat made the holidays doubly special for us that year. So it was with great happiness, on Christmas morning, after all the presents were opened, that my parents handed Bea the mysterious envelope and explained to her the Brown tradition of a Christmas Quest. Looking amazed that such a tradition coul
42、d exist, Bea excitedly opened the envelope. The poem inside announced that this years quest involved locating five letters of the alphabet, which had been hidden around the house. According to the poems final stanza, the first letter we needed to find was “T.“ You seek a letter in a nook (Its very h
43、ard to see). But of the places you might look, Theres just one spot for “T.“ Only one spot for T? My little brother Greg was the first to figure it out. He leapt up and dashed into the kitchen. We all ran after him as he retrieved a stool, dragged it into the breakfast nook, climbed up onto the coun
44、ter, and grabbed the canister in which my mother kept her tea bags. Sure enough, inside was a note card emblazoned with the letter “T.“ Brilliant! Along with the letter “T“ we found another clue, which ingeniously guided us down to the basement where we found the letter “O“ taped to an O-shaped Hool
45、a Hoop. Again, fiendishly clever! From there more clues led us all over the house. In the kitchen we found the letter “C“ stuffed in a Vitamin C container. In the mud-room, the letter “E“ was hidden inside my Exeter baseball cap (bearing that same letter). By then, we had located four letters (T-O-C
46、-E), and still we felt no closer to understanding our mysterious prize. We hoped the fifth and final letter would make it all come clear. The final clue, however, was baffling. The final letter in your quest, Is simple as can be. Its hidden in a special room Quite natural for a “P.“ A special room q
47、uite natural for a P? I looked in the pantry around the canned peas. Nothing. My little brother checked his bedroom for his Phillies cap. Nothing. A natural place for “P“? It was Beatrice, our exchange student (having learned a good amount of American slang), who suddenly gasped, jumped to her feet,
48、 and dashed up the stairs. For a moment, my siblings and I thought she was ill. but then we heard her shriek with joy. We raced upstairs to find Bea in the bathroom, laughing hysterically and pointing into the toilet. We peered inside, and there, to our enormous delight, we found the letter “P“ tape
49、d inside the toilet bowl. “P“ in the toilet! The joke left all four of us kids rolling on the floor in hysterics. Surely my parents had to be the two funniest people alive. Finally, when we all could breathe again, we hurried back to the living room to decipher the meaning of these five mysterious letters T-O-C-E-P? We spread the letters out on the living
