2022年考博英语-苏州大学考试题库及全真模拟冲刺卷（附答案带详解）1. 翻译题Humor has been well defined as “thinking in fun while feeling in earnest”. The English do not approach life intellectually; they do not demand that it shall conform to some rigid mental plan; they are not convinced that the universe can be penetrated by thought; they are willing to go to work, either in politics or art, without a theory to sustain them; and when they are more practical than other races, it is not - as those races frequently conclude because they are coldly clear-sighted and unimaginative, but because they do not busy themselves asking reason to find a key when instinct has already shown them that the door is wide open.【答案】幽默能被很好地定义为“一边诚挚地感受，一边有趣地思考”。英国人不肯理智地对待生活。他们不要求人生必须符合某种死板的计划，他们也不相信宇宙会被透彻地思考研究。他们愿意在没有理论支持的情况下从事政治或艺术工作。并且当他们比别的民族更实际的时候，事实并不是因为他们能只有头脑冷静、缺乏想象力像别的民族得出的结论那样，而是因为当本能已经告诉他们门是打开的时候，他们没有忙着让理性去找出钥匙。2. 单选题However important we may regard school life to be, there is no gainsaying the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom.
