VII. Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese: 20%1. The women ’s magazines are about one third dedicated to clothes, one third to mild comment on sex, and the other third to recipes and pictures of handsome salads, desserts, and main courses. “Institutes ” exist to experiment and tell housewives how to cook attractive meals and how to turn leftovers into works of art. The food thus pictured looks like famous paintings of still life. The only trouble is it ’ s tasteless. It leaves appetite unquenched and merely serves to stave off famine.2. Old women fare worse than old men. Women have an average life expectancy of seven years longer than men and tend to marry men older than themselves; so two-thirds of all older women are widows. When widowed they do not have the same social prerogatives as older men to date and marry those who are younger. As a result, they are likely to end up alone- an ironic turn of events when one remembers that most of them were raised from childhood to consider marriage the only acceptable state.福建师大继续教育学院 07级英语专业（本科） 《高级英语》(2)试题（B 卷）考试形式：闭卷考 考试时间：120分钟班级 学号 姓名Ⅰ.Choose the word that is closest in meaning with the word given:20%1. fantasyA. calmnessB. pretensionC. imaginationD. cooperation 2.sereneA. loveableB. joyfulC. hostileD. peaceful 3.affluentA. richB. greatC. endurableD. terrible 4.exhortA. adviseB. advocateC. imitateD. relate 5.aspirationA. desireB. temperC. angerD. rudeness 6.dumpA. pickB. throwC. minimizeD. cooperate 7 .affectionA. loveB. joyC. pretensionD. friendship 8. forbearA. standB. forefatherC. endurableD. detestable 9.hoardA. hideB. exhaustC. inhaleD. propel udA. stimulateB. praiseC. increaseD. introduce 11. nastyA. disgustingB. unfairC. unkindD. imperceptible12. hypothesisA. entreatyB. suppositionC. outletD. meeting13. maladyA. miseryB. disasterC. diseaseD. tolerance14.noviceA. interestingB. laymanC. sinD. mistake15.elatedA. grievousB. tremblingC. overjoyedD. lazy16.morbidA. mercilessB. sorryC. unhealthyD. helpless17.eradicateA. removeB. improveC. representD. dominate18.humiliatingA. disgustingB. shamefulC. unkindD. imperceptible19.patheticA. pitiableB. passionateC. passiveD. pessimistic20.reiterateA. repeatB. detestC. desireD. toleratethe texts you’ve learned: 10%1.
