Ⅳ.Recite (10%)
1.Any paragraph from "What I Have Lived for"
(底下四段中4選1)
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my
life: the longing gor love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity
for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have
blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course,over a deep ocean of
anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy--ecstasy so
great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a
few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves
loneliness--that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness
looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless
abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have
seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring visiov of the heaven that
saints and poets have imaged. This is what I sought, and though it might
seem too good for human life, this is what--at last--I have found.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to
understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine.
And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds
sway above the flux. A little of this, but not ,much, I have achieved.
Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible,led upward toward
the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of
pain reverbreate in my heart. Children in famine,victims tortured by
oppressors, helpless old people a hetad burden to their sons, and the
whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human
life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too
suffer.
2.The Davises' case has ...... as a human being.
The Davises' case has spawn a series of new cases involving the
rights to embryos, as well as a national debate over how we view life.
Some argue that the frozen embryos, consisting of only undifferentiated
calls, cannot be viewed as human beings as they have not yet formed into
a unique individual. Others argue that life starts at conception, so that
the moment the egg is fertilized in a petri dish, what is produced must
be viewed as a human being.
