Washington Iring's Sunnyside in Tarrytown, New York Accompanying a plan of Sunnyside (unprinted here), a former residence of Washington Iving in New York, is the fllowing 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 (1841) as an example of the \improvement in Rural Architecre..\he explained, strives to be in \keeping\\nature\its \\' Architectural beauty,\taught, \
Walking the 24-acre grounds is a pleasure in every season. Swans glide on the pond Irving called \path leads up a small rise and from there down into \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 become 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 \
Irving purchased the cottage in 1835 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 1836 he wrote to his brother, Peter: \own humor. Everything goes on cheerily in my ltte 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 bookdined 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, accompanied 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 ilustrations for Inving'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 \1850'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 1859, 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 undle 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 ormamental 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 4 passages in this section.Each passage is followved 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 diferent 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 dlose to another person signals the possibility of interaction，you need to emit a signal tlling others you want to be left alone.So you cut off eye contact，what sociologist Erving Goffman（1963）calls\
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 uncomfortable，and you are likely to feel a bit strange yourself.
If you hold eye contact for more than 3 seconds，what are you tlling another person？Much depends on the person and the situation.For instance，a man and a woman communicate interest in this manner.They tpcally gaze at each other for about 3 seconds at a time，then drop their eyes down for 3
seconds，before ltting their eyes meet again.But if one man gives another man a 3-second-plus stare，he signals\，\，\
\ 11.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that.

Passage 2
The picnics, speeches, and parades of today's Labor Day were all part of the first celebration, held in New York City in 1882. 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 1882 was president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners (UBC]). Approaching the City's Central Labor Union that summer, he proposed a holiday that would applaud \-the great vital force of every nation\
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 1893 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 1880s 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 \in private Pullmans while ten-year-olds slaved in the mines, strong anti-capitalist feelings ran high. Demands for fundamental change were common throughout the labor press. With socialist demanding an end to
\-of-the-roaders like Samuel Gompers and McGuire seemed atratively mild by comparison. 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.
16. Judging from the passage, McGuire was a. a moderate labor leader b. an extreme anarchist in the labor movement C. a devoted socialist fighting against exploitation of man by man d. a firm anti-capitalist demanding the elimination of wage slavery
17. We can see from the first paragraph that the first Labor Day march a. immediately won nationwide support b. involved workers from 30 states C. was opposed by many factory owners d. was organized by the UBC]
18. Which of the fllowin is the key factor in the immediate approval of Labor Day as a national holiday?
a. The lawmakers' respect for the workers.
b. The workers' determination to have a holiday of their own.
C. The socialists' demands for thorough reform.d. The politicians' fear of the workers' anger. 19. We learn from the passage that the establishment of Labor Day____
a. was accepted by most bosses as a compromise b. marked a turning point in the workers' struggle for more rights C. indicated the improvement of the workers' welfare d. signaled the end of \
20. McGuire proposed Labor Day in order to a. draw people's attention to the striking contrast between the rich and the poor b. make prominent the important role of the working dlass in society C. win for the workers the right to shorter working hoursd. expose the exploitation of the workers by their bosses III Translate the following two paragraphs into Chinese.
1 Gardening is a moral occupation, as well, because you always start in spring resolved to keep it looking neat this year, just like the pitures in the catalogues.
But by July, you once again face the chaos of unthinned carrots, lettuce and beets.
2 Isn't that beautiful? Had I not learned how to be loving, I would have thought nice things about the chef's pork chops, but probably wouldn't have told him-
just as I had failed to tell Liani how much she had helped me that first day in class.\
