My own inspiration to become a historical biographer\ncame in rather less elevated circumstances, as a teenager one rainy Oxford\n7\nafternoon: I began to read Lytton Strachey’s Eminent Victorians and was in\nparticular fascinated by his essay on the worldly Cardinal Manning. This was\ngoing to be the life for me! Once back at school 1 plunged into further research in\nthe convent library. A very different picture emerged. Gradually as 1 pursued the\ntopic, 1 became aware of Strachey’s daring sallies into “artistic truth” (as opposed\nto historical truth). Nevertheless, I never forgot my original sense of being<\/p>\n
\ntransported into a world more vivid than my own.\nAn ability to convey this sensation is, 1 believe, at the heart of the matter. If\nyou, the biographer, don’t thrill to your subject, you can hardly in all fairness\nexpect the reader to do so. In a sense (not of course the commercial sense) the\nchoice of subject is irrelevant so long as it meets that requ irem ent. You could\nsay that I was extremely lucky to choose Mary Queen of Scots for my first foray\nsince there proved to be a world-wide public for the troubles of the ill-fated\nQueen. But you could argue equally that I made my own luck, since I had always\nbeen obsessed by Mary’s story from childhood. Nor was success fore-ordained. It\nwas, after all, the leading publisher Mark Bonham -Carter of (then) Collins who\nsaid to me when I confessed my project, “They say that all books on Mary\nQueen of Scots sell and no books on South America do”, before adding with a\nlaugh, “Perhaps yours will be the exception.”\nNevertheless I did have luck. In the 60s, so-called narrative biography was\nsaid to be pas s\u00e9. Mary Queen of Scots was an early beneficiary from the fact that\nthe public continued to have an appetite for it, so long as the research was felt to\nbe solid.\nThe actual research for a biography – now that’s a whole other matter. The\nparamount need for it – historical truth not Stracheyesque truth must be\nestablished – means that biographers discover for themselves the reality of Dr.\nJohnson’s wise dictum: “A man will turn over half a library to make a book.”\nAnd what about those fabled things boasted of on blurbs: hitherto\nunpublished documents? Obviously it is every researcher’s dream to discover\nsuch papers, and their discovery once again may make a project commercial\nwhich would not otherwise be so. At the same time, I would issue a caveat about\nhitherto unpublished documents. HUDs are not in themselves more valuable than\nthe printed sources – it’s a historical coincidence that one set has become known\nearly on, the other not. One needs to evaluate them even more closely. Here I\nspeak from personal experience. A series of chances led me to the discovery of\nsome hitherto unpublished letters of Oliver Cromwell ju st as 1 was finishing my\nmanuscript. I blazoned my finds across the text: only to realize at the proof stage,\nthat they tnight be unpublished but they were not very important in the grand\nscheme o f things.., an expensive mistake.\nWhere the perils and pleasures of writing historical biography are concerned,\nthere are two perils which seem to me to raise points of principle. The first is the\n8\nperil of anachronistic judgements. For example, in the 16th century more or less\neverybody took astrology<\/p>\n
seriously and more or less everybody enjoyed a jolly\nafternoon out to see the bears baited. It’s no good dismissing the former as\nmeaningless and cringing from the latter as disgusting.\nI would further cite the peril of hindsight. We may know that Henry VIII will\nma ny six times, but he didn’t, and he would have been amazed if it had been\npredicted at the time of his first marriage to Catherine of Aragon.\nAnd the pleasures? Manifold! Principal among them however is the\nopportunity to lead a life less ordinary. As a biographer, I can rule over\nkingdoms, lead the cavalry into battle, patronise the great artists of the past and\nall w ithout leaving my chair.\n41. What did the writer learn while researching a historical figure as a teenager?\nA. There was a surprising amount o f information available.\nB. It was not possible to take eveiything she read as fact.\nc. It was difficult to interpret the true meaning of what she read.\nD. It was necessary to consult a wide range o f sources.\n42. What does that requirement refer to?\nA. the read er’s response to a writer’s subject\nB. the correct choice o f subject\nc. the commercial appeal of the book\nD. the wri ter\u2019s ability to communicate their enthusiasm\n43. What did Mark Bonham-Carter believe about the writer\u2019s choice o f subject?\nA. H er long-standing interest in it may ensure her book\u2019s success.\nB. It did not guarantee her book\u2019s success.\nc. There are already too many books written on it.\nD. It was a wise choice for her first biography.\n44. The main point that the writer is making in the fourth paragraph is that\nA. a b iography is more likely to be successful if it contains new information.\nB. researchers must be careful to check all facts thoroughly,\nc. research material can include inaccurate information.\nD. extensive reading is crucially important.\n45. What warning does the writer give to biographers about unpublished documents?\nA. They are difficult to obtain as their discovery is down to chance.\nB. Their overall significance to the book must be carefully considered,\nc. Their use could result in diminished commercial success for a book.\nD. It should not be assumed that they are authentic.\n46. An e xample of an anachronistic judgement that the writer gives is\nA. not being able to imagine oneself living in the sixteenth century.\nB. being uninformed about sixteenth century customs and practices.\nc. view ing the sixteenth century from a twenty-first centu iy perspective.\nD. focusing only on the negative side o f life in the sixteenth century.\n9\n47. In the article as a whole, the writer implies that her main motivation for\nbecoming a historical biographer was the chance to\nA. carry out extensive research. B. become immersed in history,\nc. discover unpublished documents. D. establish historical truth.\n48. The word elevated is closest in meaning to\nA. lofty B. normal c. raised D. high\n49. The word passe is closest in meaning to\nA. obsolete B. out o f fashion c. antique D. archaic\n50. The word their in the fifth paragraph refers to\nA. blurbs B. researchers\nc. unpublished documents D. historical truths\nREADING COMPREHENSION 2\nRead the following passage carefully and answer the questions below.\nThe Amazonian wilderness harbors the greatest number of species on this\nplanet and is an irreplaceable resource for present and future generations.\nAmazonia is crucial for maintaining global climate and gene tic resources, and\nits forest and rivers provide vita! sources of food, building materials,\npharmaceuticals, and water needed by wildlife and humanity.\nThe Los Amigos watershed in the state o f Madre de Dios, southeastern Peru,\nis representative o f the pristine lowland moist forest once found throughout most\nof upper Amazonian South America. Threats to tropical forests occur in the form\nof fishing, hunting, gold mining, timber extraction, impending road construction,\nand slash and burn agriculture. The Los Amigos watershed, consisting of\n1.6 million hectares (3.95 million acres), still offers the increasingly scarce\nopportunity to study rainforest as it was before the disruptive encroach ment o f\nmodern human civilization. Because of its relatively pristine condition and the\nimmediate need to ju stify it as a conservation zone and as a corridor between\nManu National Park and the Tambopata-Candamo Reserved Zone, this area\ndeserves intensive, long-term projects aimed at botanical training, ecotourism,\nbiological inventory, and information synthesis.\nOn July 24, 2001, the government of Peru and the Amazon Conservation\nAssociation, represented by Enrique Ortiz, signed a contractual agreement creating\nthe first long-term permanently renewable conservation concession. To our\nknowledge this is the first such agreement to be implemented in the world. The<\/p>\n
\nconservation concession protects 340,000 acres of old growth Amazonian forest in\nthe Los Amigos watershed which is located in southeastern Peru. This watershed\nprotects the eastern flank o f Manu National Park and is part of the lowland forest\ncorridor that links it to Bahuaja-Sonene National Park. The Los Amigos\nconservation concession will serve as a mechanism for the development of a\nregional center o f excellence in natural forest management and biodiversity science.\nSeveral major projects are being implemented at the Los Amigos Conservation\nArea. Louise Emmons is initiating studies of mammal diversity and ecology in\n10\nthe Los Amigos area. Other projects involve studies of the diversity of\narthropods, amphibians, reptiles, and birds. Robin Foster has conducted\nbotanical studies \u00e1t Los Amigos, resulting in the labeling of hundreds of plant\nspecies along .two kilometers of trail in upland and lowland forest. Los Amigos\nhas also been a major field site for Robin’s rapid identification laminated\nphotographic field guides to tropical plants. Michael Goulding is leading a\nfisheries and aquatic ecology program, which aims to document the diversity of\nfish, their ecologies, and their habitats in the Los Amigos area and the Madre de\nDios watershed in general.\nWith support from the Amazon Conservation Association, and in\ncollaboration with US and Peruvian colleagues, the Botany of the Los Amigos\nproject has been initiated. At Los Amigos, we are attempting to develop a system\nof preservation, sustainability, and scientific research; a marriage between\nvarious disciplines, from human ecology to economic botany, product marketing\nto forest management. The complexity of the ecosystem will best be understood\nthrough a multidisciplinary approach, and improved understanding of the\ncomplexity will lead to better management. In essence, we must be informed to\nmake wise management decisions about Amazonian forests. These forests hold\nthe greatest number of species on our planet and are an irreplaceable resource for\npresent and future generations. The future of these forests will depend on\nsustainable management and development of alternative practices and products\nthat do not require irreversible destruction.\nThe botanical project will provide a foundation of information that is essential\nto other programs at Los Amigos. By combining botanical studies with fisheries\nand mammology, we will better understand plant\/animal interactions. By\nproviding names, the botanical program will facilitate accurate communication\nabout plants and the animals that use them. Included in this scenario are humans,\nas we will dedicate time to people-plant interactions in order to learn what plants\nare used by people in the Los Amigos area, and what plants could potentially be\nused by people.\nTo be informed, we must develop knowledge. To develop knowledge, we\nmust collect, organize, and disseminate information. In this sense, botanical\ninform ation has conservation value. Before we can use plant-based products\nfrom’ the forest, we must know what species are useful. We must know what\ntheir names are in order to be able to communicate accurately about them. We\nmust be able to identify them, to know where they occur in the forest, how many\nof them exist, how they are pollinated and when they produce fruit (or other useful\nproducts). Aside from understanding the species as they occur locally at Los\nAmigos, we must have information about their overall distribution in tropical\nAmerica in order to better understand and manage the distribution, variation, and\nviability of their genetic diversity and germplasm. This involves a more complete\nunderstanding of the species through studies in the field and herbarium.\n11\n5 1. The phrase generic resources refers t o ________ .\nA. plant seeds\nB. different races of people\nc. diverse species of plants and animals\nD. cells that can be used in genetic cures for diseases\n52.

The great ocean\nbasins hold about 300 million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about\n80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by\nevaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than\n24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents. This vast\namount is required to ( 72 )_____ the lakes and streams, springs and water tables\non which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits\norganic existence.\nThe hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has (7 3 )_____\nunlike those of any other liquid. One (7 4) ________ is that w ater upon freezing\n(75) __________ by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling.\n(76) ________ this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the\nbottom.
