以下是去年的题目 ￣▽￣|| (去年自己留的纪录~) 台大外文系申请入学第二阶段甄试 很意外地，题目并不难，算是只要看的懂就一定会写的题目，和传闻中难的要死差距颇大 的(笑)。但是，题目简单就等於大家都会写，这样其实也没有占到什麽优势就是了orz 英文作文笔试 09:20-10:20 比较两样你对它有兴趣的事物，文长不得超过300字。 英文阅读笔试 10:40-12:00 第一大题 => 普通的阅读测验，只是他采用新闻英文，文章稍长。 以下是题目 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ If It's a Laughing Matter, Call In Julie Hette (1) PARIS- Julie Hette wears a serious suit and has a serious job as a receptionist at one of France's biggest corporations. She might even be called a serious young woman- she cries at movies and wants to devote her life to humanitarian causes- but, more than most people, she laughs. (2) She laughs at dinner parties and bar mitzvahs and film premieres. She recently pre-recorded April Fool's peals of laughter for a French radio station. She is a professional laugher, as far as she knows the only one in France, not the most giggly country in the world. (3) "The French are stiff and self-centered, they are open to nothing. Not to a smile, a laugh. Nothing." This makes work harder but success, more resonant. "I am very wholehearted," she says. "To bring laughter is fabulous." (4) She has been hired to laugh in Japan, so triumphantly that she now has a Japanese agent, and she has laughed on an American television program where she was introduced as the "French Toast." It all began in the east of France, where she grew up with a laugh so loud that schoolteachers sent her out of class and friends would say "shut up, you're bothering us." Even today, her mother, when they go to the movies together, sits a few rows away so as not to be ashamed. (5) Then one night she went to the circus and laughed at the clown, who responded by making her laugh again to the point where a whole number evolved and the circus director hired her to come back. (6) "I found it wonderful to be paid for what had always been forbidden." To train herself she went on to the Métro to see if she could make straphangers laugh, which she did so successfully that she then had to train herself to stop. A voice teacher taught her how to control her breathing and she took an ad in a show biz magazine, L'information du Spectacle, describing herself as a "rieuse professionelle." (7) She was 20 (she is now 33) and spent the next five years laughing full-time. "In the beginning I did it everywhere just to show I was a professional. I don't do that now, but if people suggest something interesting I say why not?" (8) She has of course read Bergson and also Heinrich Böll's short story about the professional laugher whose repertory is so vast that he has never heard his own laugh. Hette has no repertory but relies on variations of her own megadecibel hoot, which billows in a full throated way and also grates like a dentist's drill. It has, she says, been compared to a jalopy that won't start. (9) Her first break came when a woman who had seen her ad hired her to laugh at her father's funny stories at New Year's Eve party. The father was a high-up functionary with a penchant for terrible jokes. Hette took lessons in which fork to use and other branches of Neuilly etiquette, appeared at the grand and stuffy party and laughed herself silly to the host's great pleasure. (10) "It was a nice gift that girl made to her father, he was so happy that night," Hette said. (11) She has been hired to laugh at the graduation ceremony of France's grandest grande école, ENA, has done a lot of television and has become a fixture at openings of not-very-funny comic films. "This can be tricky because my laugh shouldn't drown out the next gag. In French films this isn't much of a problem," she added. (12) One of her early successes came when Paco Rabanne hired her to laugh during his fashion show. "My laugh does have a metallic quality," she explained. In the current French presidential campaign she would never accept an offer from a candidate to laugh at his rival's electoral promises because she won't laugh to offend. (13) She has laughed at fancy dinners when the hosts are entertaining a dull provincial client and is proudest of a letter she got from a 75-year-old man who heard her on the radio and laughed for the first time in 20 years. For a while when she was new to the trade she went to the movies Sundays with an elderly man whose laugh was as wild as hers. (14) "His laugh was so irritating that he didn't dare go to the movies alone, so we went together and had tea afterwards. It didn't pay well but it was pleasant." These days her fees range from 1,500 to 2,500 francs ($300 to $500). (15) A speech expert told her that her laugh cannot leave people indifferent: it often irritates and people say "kindly shut up" or "do you want an aspirin?" Having been told she sounds like a chicken, she went to the Paris quai where animals are sold and laughed in front of a rooster. He crowed back. If she decides to practice when she is alone at a café, people tend to back away, thinking she is a street crazy, but, when she explains she is an artiste all is well. (16) Her dream is to be on a crane high over the Place de la Concorde, laughing as infectiously as she can to the crowd below. "To make half of Paris laugh, it would be fabulous." (17) But these are hard times. Recently, for training purposes she got on the Métro and laughed, which she hasn't done for eight years. "I realized how hard it is now. People are depressed and constantly harassed by panhandlers. They just aren't in the mood." (18) It's just enough to make one cry. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 第二大题 => 同第一大题，不过文章在网路上找不到orz… 是和医学相关，介绍为什麽在演唱会现场会有歌迷昏倒。 第三大题 => 分两部份，皆为选填题，单字较指考稍难一点。 第四大题 => 阅读一首诗，然後写出作者所要表达的想法，不得超过150个字 (这是一首关於挚爱的人死去的诗，是用在葬礼时追思朗读的) 这首诗还满浅显易懂的，这种类型的题目应该会常常出现吧~! 以下是题目 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stop all the Clocks W.H. Auden Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come. Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead, Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves, Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves. He was my North, my South, my East and West, My working week and my Sunday rest, My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song; I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong. The stars are not wanted now: put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun; Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood. For nothing now can ever come to any good ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 英语听力测验 13:15-13:45 分为三大题，前两题速度和空英差不多，和答案相关的关键字都会重音提示。第一题是两 人对话，似记者采访人物。第二题…..忘记了(逃)。第三题难度突然间提高满多的，有 Advanced的速度，大概叙述为什麽邮资上涨。所有问题都要求用完整句子回答，每题播放 完都会有一小段空档，所以建议一边听，一边先用铅笔在旁边稍做笔记，然後等听完再把 完整答案写上去。(铅笔的字迹要擦掉~!) 口语能力测验 1. 为什麽想读台大外文系：他会根据你的回答内容继续问问题。 2. 念一小段文章：当天桌上有三篇，我念到的那篇应该是摘录自"超人"的电影简介XD 当时是两位很和蔼可亲的教授问我问题 (其中一位是现在教余一班西概超温柔的教授啊>//<) --
