Two things are outstanding in the creation of the English system of canals,and they characterize all
the Industrial Revolution. One is that the men who made the revolution were practical men. Like
Brindley, they often had little education, and in fact school education as it then was could only
dull an inventive mind.

The other outstanding feature is that the new inventions were for everyday use. The canals were
arteries of communication: They were not made to carry pleasure boats, but barges. And the
barges were not made to carry luxuries, but pots and pans and bales of cloth, boxes of ribbon, and
all the common things that people buy by the pennyworth.

B. Directions: Translate the following passage into English. (Please write the translation on your
Answer Sheet.) (15 points)

不久前，我在上海展览馆看了一场特别的服装 表演。“模特儿都已人到中年甚至老年，从
42岁直至74岁。她们穿着自己设计裁剪的服装，随着迪斯 科音乐，迈着没有经过训练的朴
素的步子，面带羞怯而勇敢的微笑，走在长长的红色地毯上。她们逐渐镇 定下来，有了自信，
脚步渐渐合拍，并开始注意面对观众。

A.

46. 参考译文

在创建英国运河网的过程中，有两点 是非常突出的，而这两点也正是整个工业革命的特点。
首先，发动这场革命的都是些实干家。同布林德雷 一样，他们一般都没受过什么教育。事实
上，当时那种学校教育也只会限制人的创造性。
< br>第二个突出的特点是：新发明都是为日常生活服务的。运河是交通的动脉，开运河不是为了
走游艇 ，而是为了性驳船。而驳船也不是为了运送奢侈品，而是为了运送瓦罐铁锅锅碗瓢
盆、成包的棉布、成箱 的缎带，以及那些只花个把便士就能买到的各种日用品。

B．

47. 参考译文

Not long ago I saw a unique fashion show at the Shanghai Exhibition Hall. The “models” were all
of middle age or even older, ranging from 42 to 74. Dressed in the clothes of their own design and
making and wearing a shy yet bold smile, they walked on a long, red carpet with natural untrained
steps to the accompaniment of disco music. Gradually they calmed down and restored
self-confidence. Then they began to match steps with the music and became aware of the
audience.
