At the beginning of 1613， about two hundred Polish soldiers arrived at a little Russian village. They lost their way in the thick forest and asked for a man to show them the way to town. But no one wanted to help them.
"You will have to go through that forest，" said an old man. "The road is on the other side." "Show us the way，" cried the enemy officer，" or we'll kill every one in the village!"
"I'm old，" said the old man. "I may be not able to walk so far."
But to himself he said， "I'll have to show them the way， but if I lead them into the thickest part of the forest， they will die there and I'll help to save my country."
The old man went in front， and two hundred soldiers followed him. For many hours they moved on through the forest.
"Where is the road?" they cried. "We must be near the road by now."
"I'm old，" answered the old man. "Perhaps I have lost my way."

"We'll soon be on the road now，" said the old man when he got the money. "And you will be able to go to the town."
But the trees closed round them and it became darker and darker though it was still the middle of the day. It was even harder to walk on in the heavy snow.

Questions 26~30
What is your favorite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like grey and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us. They tell us that we don't choose our favourite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder and have few accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black dark grey.
Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colours they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose something in different colours.
26. If you love green, ___________.
(A) you feel unhappy
(B) you are strong-minded
(C) you are happy
(D) you feel comfortable
27. Factory workers will have fewer accidents when ______.
(A) they work in yellow or orange rooms
(B) they work harder in red coats

SECTION 3: TRANSLATION TEST (1) (30 minutes 20 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your version in the
corresponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET.
As late as 1800, women's only place was in the home. The idea of women in the business was unthinkable. No "nice" woman would dream of entering what was strictly a "man's world".
Teaching was the first profession open to women soon after 1800. But even that was not an easy profession for women to enter because most high schools and colleges were open only to men.
Hospital nursing became respectable work for women only after Florence Nightingale became famous. Miss Nightingale opened England's first training school for nurses in 1860.
SECTION 4: TRANSLATION TEST (2) (30 minutes 20 points)
