LIANDA:
A PLACE OF PASSION,
BELIEF AND COMMITMENT
1.Throughout history, the great thinkers of the world have often rather romantically① referred to their academic struggles as② being like“war”. However, for most of them,the “war” has been purely symbolic③. Real war is never romantic as it brings suffering and immense④ challenges (1).
2.In 1937, the aggression of the Japanese army brought disaster to China's three great universities: Peking University and Tsinghua University were occupied by Japanese troops, while_Nankai_University_was_completely_destroyed_by_bombing (2). To save educational and intellectual heritage⑤ (3), the three universities joined together in Kunming as National Southwest Associated University,otherwise known_as_Lianda (4).
(1)as引导原因状语从句。
(2)while 引导并列句,表示对比,转折。
(3)不定式作目的状语。
(4)过去分词作定语。
3.Professors and students alike in the three universities made an epic journey over a distance of more than 2,000 kilometres, most of them on foot⑥. Their bed was the dusty road and their roof was the open sky, often lit up⑦ by exploding Japanese bombs. Conditions were little better once_they_reached_the_remote_and_mountainous_southwest_part_of_China (5). They had to live in rough⑧ buildings, packed 40 to a room, like sardines. There were dire⑨ shortages⑩ of food,books,and equipment. Furthermore⑪, classes were frequently disrupted due to⑫ fierce air attacks and often had to be held before 10 am and after 4 pm.
4.However, despite⑬ the immense hardships and the daunting challenges, it was right in this place, over a period of eight long years, that the nation's intellectual heritage was not only guarded but fortified⑭ _by_the_passion_and_belief_of_the_worthy_academics_of_Lianda (6)(7). It_is_no_wonder_that_many (8), if_not_most (9), of China's leading scholars and scientists emerged⑮ at Lianda,including the two Nobel Prizewinning physicists, Yang Zhenning and Li Zhengdao.“Lianda laid the foundation for every achievement I_have_made (10),”Yang recalled.
联大:一个充满热情、
信念和奉献的地方
1.纵观历史,世界上伟大的思想家们常常以一种浪漫的说法把他们的学术之争比喻为“战争”。然而,对他们中的大多数人来说,“战争”一词纯粹是象征性的。真正的战争从来不是浪漫的,因为它会带来痛苦和巨大的挑战。
2.1937年,日军的侵略给中国三所著名大学带来了灾难:北京大学和清华大学被日本军队占领,南开大学被彻底炸毁。为了保护教育和知识遗产这三所大学在昆明联合成立了国立西南联合大学,简称联大。
3.这三所大学的教授和学生们都进行了一场长达2000多公里的史诗般的旅行,大多数人都是步行。他们的床是尘土飞扬的道路,他们的屋顶是开阔的天空,经常被日本炸弹的爆炸照亮。当他们到达中国偏远多山的西南地区时,情况也好不到哪里去。他们不得不住在简陋的房子里,一间屋子挤着40个人,像沙丁鱼一样。食物、书籍和设备严重短缺。此外,由于猛烈的空袭,上课经常中断,经常不得不在上午10点之前和下午4点之后举行。
4.然而,尽管面临着巨大的困难和艰巨的挑战,在这个地方经过八年漫长的岁月,国家的知识遗产不仅得到了保护,还得到了强化,这些都归功于联大杰出学者们的热情和信念。难怪即使不是大多数,

5.With the country at war⑰, students at Lianda were not going to shirk their duty. Driven_by_a_sense_of_commitment (13), a great many⑱ joined the army to resist the Japanese invaders and defend the honour of the nation. In fact, Lianda provided the largest number of studentsoldiers from any campus in China.Of the thousands of college students from all over China who_served_as_interpreters (14),one tenth⑲ were from Lianda, including the wellknown translators Zha Liangzheng and Xu Yuanchong.Zha later depicted⑳ the contributions of his peers in a poem.
Softly, on the hillside forgotten by all,
A misty rain falls in a gentle breeze;
There is no trace of the footprints of history;
Where brave souls once stood, breathing new life into the trees.
6.A product of the war, Lianda is now physically gone. But it has become the crowning glory of China's modern universities, not only because of its prominent professors and talented students,but also because of the school's strong spirit of perseverance and dedication. In 2017, representatives from Peking University,Tsinghua University, Nankai University and Yunnan Normal University gathered to commemorate the 80th anniversary of its founding.
7.More than eighty years on, the priceless contribution of Lianda still needs to be reaffirmed. It has become part of the collective memory of the Chinese nation, with its spirit as the blueprint for all universities in China in the modern era (15).

但也有许多中国领先的学者和科学家都是联大出身,包括两位诺贝尔奖得主,物理学家杨振宁和李政道。“联大为我所取得的每项成就奠定了基础。”杨振宁回忆道。他还记得在一间窗户没有玻璃的临时教室里学习。“在刮风的日子里,我们不得不把纸按在桌子上,否则纸就会被风吹走。”他说。
5.国家正处于战争状态,联大的学生们不会逃避他们的责任。在献身精神的驱使下,许多人参军抵抗日本侵略者,保卫国家的荣誉。事实上,联大输送的学生士兵的数量是中国所有校园中最多的。在来自全国各地担任翻译的数千名大学生中,有十分之一的人来自联大,其中包括著名的翻译家査良铮和许渊冲。査良铮后来在一首诗中描述了他的同龄人所做的贡献:
静静的,在那被遗忘的山坡上,
还下着密雨,还吹着细风,
没有人知道历史曾在此走过,
留下了英灵化入树干而滋生。
6.作为战争的产物,联大现在已经不复存在。但它已经成为了中国现代大学的最高荣耀,这不仅仅是因为那些杰出的教授和才华横溢的学生,也因为联大坚韧不拔和勇于奉献的精神。2017年,北京大学、清华大学、南开大学和云南师范大学的代表们齐聚一堂,共同纪念联大建校80周年。
7.尽管已经历经80多年,联大做出的无价贡献仍值得重申。它已成为中华民族集体记忆的一部分,联大精神更是描绘了现代中国所有大学的蓝图。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
Is war unavoidable?Can war be prevented?
History tells that there were wars,great or small,in every century,in every decade.Throughout the ages,from the Stone Age to the Atomic Age,men have been fighting,first with swords and shields(盾),then with guns and cannons,and now,hydrogen bombs and missiles are used for military purposes.But,in spite of all these,it is still my belief that war can be prevented and peace can be won,but it requires the effort of every one of us.
I am sure that we would not like to experience another world war.If it ever happens,twothirds of the world and much of the civilisation which men have gained through time,patience and effort will be destroyed.Will then the remaining onethird of the world be able to survive on its own?
Our task now is not to blame the past,but to plan for the future.
If there is peace in the world,men can use their rockets to explore the mystery of space,their submarines to explore the depth of the sea,their missiles to deliver mails and their fine equipment to penetrate(穿透) the jungles of Africa,instead of using them military.
Governments can use their money to build more schools,so that more children can be educated to be useful citizens.Scientists can use atomic energy to propel (推动) steamships and planes.They can also design new machines to increase the production of goods and thus improve the way of living of the people.
How can a peaceful world be achieved?It requires,in my opinion,the understanding and friendship between all people from all nations.Let no one suffer discrimination by reason of colour,race,religion,or national origin.Let the rich support the poor and the strong help the weak.
We know that neither peace nor such a dream world can come true in a day or a month.It may even take decades or centuries.But let us plan and begin now.
