45.答案B:Part CDirections:Read thefollowing textcarefully andthen translatethe underlinedsegments intoChinese.It ispossible forstudents toobtain advanceddegrees inEnglish whileknowing littleornothing abouttraditional scholarlymethods.The consequencesof this neglect oftraditionalscholarship areparticularly unfortunatefor thestudy ofwomen writers.
46.If thecanon-thelist of authors whoseworks are most widelytaught-is everto includemore women,scholarsmust bewell trainedin historicalscholarship andtextual editing.Scholars whodonotknowhow to read earlymanuscripts,locate rarebooks,establish asequence ofeditions,and soonare bereftof crucialtools forrevising thecanon.
47.To addresssuch concerns,an experimentalversion ofthe traditionalscholarly methodscoursewas designedto raisestudents consciousnessabout theusefulness oftraditionallearning for any moderncritic ortheorist.
48.To minimizethe artificialaspects oftheconventional course,the usualprocedure ofassigning alarge number of smallproblemsdrawn fromthe entirerange ofhistorical periodswas abandoned,though thisprocedure hastheobvious advantageof at least superficiallyfamiliarizing students with awide range ofreference sources.Instead studentswere engagedin acollective effort to dooriginal workona neglectedeighteenth-century writer,Elizabeth Griffith,to givethemanauthentic experienceofliterary scholarshipand toinspire them to takeresponsibility for the quality of theirownwork.Griffiths workpresented anumber ofadvantages forthis particularpedagogical purpose.
49.First,the bodyof extantscholarship onGriffith wasso tinythat it could allbe readin aday;thus studentsspent littletime andeffort masteringthe literatureand had a clearfield fortheirown discoveries.Griffiths playThe PlatonicWife exists in threeversions,enough to provideillustrations ofeditorial issuesbut not too manyfor beginningstudents tomanage.5O.lnaddition,because Griffithwas successfulin theeighteenth century,as hercontinuedproductivity andfavorable reviewsdemonstrate,her exclusionfromthecanon and virtualdisappearance fromliterary historyalso helpedraise issuesconcerning thecurrent canon.The rangeof Griffithswork meantthat eachstudent couldbecome theworlds leadingauthorityon aparticular Griffithtext.For example,a studentstudying GriffithsWife in theRight obtaineda firstedition ofthe playand studiedit forsome weeks.This studentwassuitably shockedand outragedto findits titletransformed intoA wifein theNight inWattsBibliotheca Britannica.Such experiences,inevitable andcommon inworking ona writertowhom solittle attentionhas beenpaid,serve tovaccinate the student-1hope fora lifetime-against creduloususe ofreference sources.［分］

23.Inanother report,orders toU.S.factories rose forthefourth straightmonth,a solid
0.4percentrise inMarch.The figurewas largelyboosted bystronger demandfor unendurablegoods,such asfood,clothes,paper productsand chemicals.Total unendurablegoods wereup
1.6percent inMarch,the biggestincrease intwo years.Orders alsoroseforsome manufacturedgoods,including metals,construction machinery,household appliancesand defenseequipment.The reportreinforces theview thatthe nationsmanufacturers-which sharplycutproduction andsaw hundredsof thousandsof jobsevaporate duringthe recession-areonthecomeback trail.Stocks wererising againonThursday.In thefirst half-four oftrading,theDow Jonesindustrial averagewas up43points andthe Nasdaqindex wasup14points.In thejobless-claims report,even withthe decline,a government analyst said,thelevelwasinflated asa resultofatechnical fluke.The distortionis comingfrom arequirement thatlaid-off workersseeking totake advantageofafederal extensionfor benefitsmust summitnew claims.Congress recentlypassed legislationsigned intolaw byPresident Bushthatprovided a13-week extensionof joblessbenefits.The fluckhas cloudedthe layoffspicture forseveral weeks.But thegovernmentanalystsaidthe refillingrequirement ishaving muchless ofan effectontheclaims numbersthan inpreviousweeks.The morestable four-week movingaverage ofnewclaims,which smoothesoutweekly fluctuation,also felllast weekto435750,thelowestlevel sincethebeginningofApril.But thenumberof workers continuingto receiveunemployment benefitsrose to
3.8million fortheworkweekendingApril20,evidence thatpeoplewhoare outofworkarehaving troublefinding new jobs.Economists predictthat jobgrowth wontbe strongenough inthe comingmonths topreventthe nationsunemployment rate-now at

5.8percent andestimating thatbusinesses addedaround55,000jobs duringthe month.The governmentwill releasethe Aprilemploymentreport onFriday.Even asthe economybounces backfrom recession,some economistsexpectthe joblessrate willpeak tojust over6percent byJune.That isbecause companieswill bereluctantto quicklyhire backlaid-off workersuntil theyare assuredthe recoveryis heretostay.Given thefledging rebound,many economistsexpect theFederal Reserveto leaveshort-term interest rates-now at40-year lows-unchanged whenit meetson May
