一、 Part I Writing （100 分）
1、Summary Writing (1 题，共40 分)
Direction：Summarize the following passage with about 120-150 English words.
Do not directly copy from the passage.
We issue them and we accept them, and, when the appointed date arrives, we
assume such of our clothes as we believe to be suitable to the gathering, and sally
forth to the party of pleasure. Often, indeed usually, it is in the evening. Therefore we
clothe ourselves in such garb as men and women have agreed in their strange
symbolism, to consider appropriate to the hours after 8 o’clock or so. And perhaps—
who knows?—it is in the exercise of these savage and primitive conventionalism that
a large part of the pleasure of the evening gathering consists. We are very primitive
creatures, and the mere satisfaction of self-adornment, and of assuming for particular
occasion a particular set of clothes, may well tickle our sensibilities. Be that as it may,
we arrive at our party dolled up, so to speak and find ourselves in a crowd of our
fellow-creatures, all dolled up too. Now we are off. The party of pleasure has begun.
We see friends and talk to them. But this we could do with greater comfort at our own
homes or in theirs; this cannot, surely, be the promised pleasure. As a matter of fact, if
you succeed in getting into a corner with a friend and talking, be sure you will be very
soon torn asunder by an energetic hostess, whose motto is “Keeping them moving.”
We are introduced to new acquaintances. This may, no doubt, be very agreeable. They
may be persons you are glad to know. But it is doubtful whether your
acquaintanceship will prosper very much tonight. It may well be that no topics
suitable for discussion will present themselves to either of you at the moment of
introduction. I know someone who says that she never can think of anything to say to
persons introduced to her at a party except “Do you like parties?” And that is too
crude; it simply cannot be said. You must think of some more sophisticated remarks.
Having thought of it, you must launch it, in the peculiar resonant pitch necessary to
carry it above the clamor (for this clamor, which somewhat resembles the shrieking of
a jazz band, is an essential accompaniment to a party, and part of the entertainment
provided). A conversation will then ensue, and must be carried on until one or other
of you either flags or breaks away, or until someone intervenes between you. One way
and another, a very great deal gets said at a party. Let us hope that this is a good thing.
It is apparent, anyhow, that the mere use of the tongue, quite apart from the words it
utters, gives pleasure to many. If it gives you no pleasure, and if, further, you derive
none from listening to the remarks of others, there is no need to converse. You had
better then take up a position in the solitary corner (if possible on a chair, but this is
read treat) and merely listen to the noise as to a concert, not endeavoring to form out
of it sentences. As a matter of fact, if thus listened to, the noise of a party will be
found a very interesting noise, containing a great variety of different sounds. If you
are of those who like also to look at the clothes of others, you will, from this point of
vantage, have a good view of these.
