(40 points) Passage 1 ①A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap, but, if properly handled, it may become a driving force. ②When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War, it had a market eight times larger than any competitor, giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale. ③Its scientists were the world s best; its workers the most skilled. ④(11)America and Americans were prosperous beyond the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economies the war had destroyed. ①It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer. ②Just as inevitably, the retreat from predominance proved painful. ③By the mid-1980s Americans had found themselves at a loss over their fading industrial competitiveness. ④Some huge American industries, such as consumer electronics, had shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competition. ⑤By 1987 there was only one American television maker left, Zenith. ⑥(Now there is none: Zenith was bought by South Korea’s LG Electronics in July.) ⑦(12)Foreign-made cars and textiles were sweeping into the domestic market. America’s machine-tool industry was on the ropes. ⑧For a while it looked as though the making of semiconductors, which America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age, was going to be the next casualty. ①All of this caused a crisis of confidence. ②Americans stopped taking prosperity for granted. ③They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing, and that their incomes would therefore shortly begin to fall as well. ④The mid-1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes of America’s industrial decline. ⑤Their sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competition from overseas. ①How things have changed! ②In 1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling. ③(14)Few Americans attribute this solely to such obvious causes as a devalued dollar or the turning of the business cycle. ④Self-doubt has yielded to blind pride. ⑤“American industry has changed its structure, has gone on a diet, has learnt to be more quick-witted,” according to Richard Cavanaugh, executive dean of Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government. ⑥“It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving their productivity,” says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute, a think-tank in Washington, DC. ⑦And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this period as “a golden age of business management in the United States.”[429 words] 11. The U.S. achieved its predominance after World War II because. [A] it had made painstaking efforts towards this goal [B] its domestic market was eight times larger than before [C] the war had destroyed the economies of most potential competitors [D] the unparalleled size of its workforce had given an impetus to its economy 12. The loss of U.S. predominance in the world economy in the 1980s is manifested in the fact that the American. [A] TV industry had withdrawn to its domestic market [B] semiconductor industry had been taken over by foreign enterprises [C] machine-tool industry had collapsed after suicidal actions [D] auto industry had lost part of its domestic market 13. What can be inferred from the passage? [A] It is human nature to shift between self-doubt and blind pride. [B] Intense competition may contribute to economic progress. [C] The revival of the economy depends on international cooperation. [D] A long history of success may pave the way for further development. 14. The author seems to believe the revival of the U.S. economy in the 1990s can be attributed to the. [A] turning of the business cycle            [B] restructuring of industry [C] improved business management            [D] success in education Passage 2 ①(15)Being a man has always been dangerous. ②There are about 105 males born for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity, and among 70-year-olds there are twice as many women as men. ③But the great universal of male mortality is being changed. ④Now, boy babies survive almost as well as girls do. ⑤This means that, for the first time, there will be an excess of boys in those crucial years when they are searching for a mate. ⑥More important, another chance for natural selection has been removed. ⑦Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby (particularly a boy baby) surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death. ⑧Today it makes almost no difference. Since much of the variation is due to genes, one more agent of evolution has gone. ①There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. ②Few people are as fertile as in the past. ③Except in some religious communities, very few women have 15 children. ④Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. ⑤Most of us have roughly the same number of offspring. ⑥(16)Again, differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished. ⑦India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples. ⑧The grand mediocrity of today—everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring—means that natural selection has lost 80% of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribes. For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. ②Strangely, it has involved little physical change. ③No other species fills so many places in nature. ④But in the past 100, 000 years—even the past 100 years—our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. ⑤(17)We did not evolve, because machines and society did it for us. ⑥Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution: they “look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension.”⑦No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. But however amazed our descendants may be at how far from Utopia we were, they will look just like us.[406 words] 15. What used to be the danger in being a man according to the first paragraph? [A] A lack of mates.                    [B] A fierce competition. [C] A lower survival rate.                [D] A defective gene. 16. What does the example of India illustrate? [A] Wealthy people tend to have fewer children than poor people. [B] Natural selection hardly works among the rich and the poor. [C] The middle class population is 80% smaller than that of the tribes. [D] India is one of the countries with a very high birth rate. 17. The author argues that our bodies have stopped evolving because. [A] life has been improved by technological advance [B] the number of female babies has been declining [C] our species has reached the highest stage of evolution [D] the difference between wealth and poverty is disappearing 18. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? [A] Sex Ratio Changes in Human Evolution. [B] Ways of Continuing Man’s Evolution. [C] The Evolutionary Future of Nature. [D] Human Evolution Going Nowhere. Passage 3 ①(20)When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded as normal. ②With regard to Futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for whatever Futurist poetry may be—even admitting that the theory on which it is based may be right—it can hardly be classed as Literature. ①This, in brief, is what the Futurist says: for a century, past conditions of life have been conditionally speeding up, till now we live in a world of noise and violence and speed. ②Consequently, our feelings, thoughts and emotions have undergone a corresponding change. ③(21)This speeding up of life, says the Futurist, requires a new form of expression. ④We must speed up our literature too, if we want to interpret modern stress. ⑤We must pour out a large stream of essential words, unhampered by stops, or qualifying adjectives, or finite verbs. ⑥Instead of describing sounds we must make up words that imitate them; we must use many sizes of type and different colored inks on the same page, and shorten or lengthen words at will. ①Certainly their descriptions of battles are confused. ②But it is a little upsetting to read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river —and then to find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers:  “Pluff! Pluff! A hundred and eighty-five kilograms.” ①(22)This, though it fulfills the laws and requirements of Futurist poetry, can hardly be classed as Literature. ②All the same, no thinking man can refuse to accept their first proposition: that a great change in our emotional life calls for a change of expression. ③The whole question is really this: have we essentially changed?[334 words] 19. This passage is mainly. [A] a survey of new approaches to art [B] a review of Futurist poetry [C] about merits of the Futurist movement [D] about laws and requirements of literature 20. When a novel literary idea appears, people should try to. [A] determine its purposes            [B] ignore its flaws [C] follow the new fashions            [D] accept the principles 21. Futurists claim that we must. [A] increase the production of literature [B] use poetry to relieve modern stress [C] develop new modes of expression [D] avoid using adjectives and verbs 22. The author believes that Futurist poetry is. [A] based on reasonable principles [B] new and acceptable to ordinary people [C] indicative of a basic change in human nature  [D] more of a transient phenomenon than literature Passage 4 ①(23)Aimlessness has hardly been typical of the postwar Japan whose productivity and social harmony are the envy of the United States and Europe. ②But increasingly the Japanese are seeing a decline of the traditional work-moral values. ③Ten years ago young people were hardworking and saw their jobs as their primary reason for being, but now Japan has largely fulfilled its economic needs, and young people don’t know where they should go next. ①The coming of age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of women into the male-dominated job market have limited the opportunities of teen-agers who are already questioning the heavy personal sacrifices involved in climbing Japan’s rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs. ②In a recent survey, it was found that only 24.5 percent of Japanese students were fully satisfied with school life, compared with 67.2 percent of students in the United States. ③In addition, far more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than did their counterparts in the 10 other countries surveyed. ①While often praised by foreigners for its emphasis on the basics, Japanese education tends to stress test taking and mechanical learning over creativity and self-expression. ②(25)“Those things that do not show up in the test scores—personality, ability, courage or humanity—are completely ignored,” says Toshiki Kaifu, chairman of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s education committee. ③“Frustration against this kind of thing leads kids to drop out and run wild.” ④Last year Japan experienced 2,125 incidents of school violence, including 929 assaults on teachers. ⑤Amid the outcry, many conservative leaders are seeking a return to the prewar emphasis on moral education. ⑥Last year Mitsuo Setoyama, who was then education minister, raised eyebrows when he argued that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities after World War II had weakened the “Japanese morality of respect for parents.” ①(26)But that may have more to do with Japanese life-styles. ②“In Japan,” says educator Yoko Muro, “it’s never a question of whether you enjoy your job and your life, but only how much you can endure.” ③With economic growth has come centralization; fully 76 percent of Japan’s 119 million citizens live in cities where community and the extended family have been abandoned in favor of isolated, two-generation households. ④Urban Japanese have long endured lengthy commutes (travels to and from work) and crowded living conditions, but as the old group and family values weaken, the discomfort is beginning to tell. ⑤In the past decade, the Japanese divorce rate, while still well below that of the United States, has increased by more than 50 percent, and suicides have increased by nearly one-quarter.[447 words] 23. In the Westerners’ eyes, the postwar Japan was. [A] under aimless development        [B] a positive example [C] a rival to the West                [D] on the decline 24. According to the author, what may chiefly be responsible for the moral decline of Japanese society? [A] Women’s participation in social activities is limited. [B] More workers are dissatisfied with their jobs. [C] Excessive emphasis has been placed on the basics. [D] The life-style has been influenced by Western values. 25. Which of the following is true according to the author? [A] Japanese education is praised for helping the young climb the social ladder. [B] Japanese education is characterized by mechanical learning as well as creativity. [C] More stress should be placed on the cultivation of creativity. [D] Dropping out leads to frustration against test taking. 26. The change in Japanese life-style is revealed in the fact that. [A] the young are less tolerant of discomforts in life [B] the divorce rate in Japan exceeds that in the U.S. [C] the Japanese endure more than ever before [D] the Japanese appreciate their present life Passage 5 ①(27)If ambition is to be well regarded, the rewards of ambition—wealth, distinction, control over one’s destiny—must be deemed worthy of the sacrifices made on ambition’s behalf. ②If the tradition of ambition is to have vitality, it must be widely shared; and it especially must be highly regarded by people who are themselves admired, the educated not least among them. ③(28)In an odd way, however, it is the educated who have claimed to have given up on ambition as an ideal. ④What is odd is that they have perhaps most benefited from ambition—if not always their own then that of their parents and grandparents. ⑤There is a heavy note of hypocrisy in this, a case of closing the barn door after the horses have escaped—with the educated themselves riding on them. ①Certainly people do not seem less interested in success and its signs now than formerly. ②Summer homes, European travel, BMWs—the locations, place names and name brands may change, but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago.③(29)What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams, as easily and openly as once they could, lest they be thought pushing, acquisitive and vulgar. ④Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools. ⑤For such people and many more perhaps not so exceptional, the proper formulation is, “Succeed at all costs but avoid appearing ambitious.” ①The attacks on ambition are many and come from various angles; its public defenders are few and unimpressive, where they are not extremely unattractive. ②As a result, the support for ambition as a healthy impulse, a quality to be admired and fixed in the mind of the young, is probably lower than it has ever been in the United States. ③This does not mean that ambition is at an end, that people no longer feel its stirrings and promptings, but only that, no longer openly honored, it is less openly professed. ④Consequences follow from this, of course, some of which are that ambition is driven underground, or made sly. ⑤Such, then, is the way things stand: on the left angry critics, on the right stupid supporters, and in the middle, as usual, the majority of earnest people trying to get on in life. [431 words] 27. It is generally believed that ambition may be well regarded if. [A] its returns well compensate for the sacrifices [B] it is rewarded with money, fame and power [C] its goals are spiritual rather than material [D] it is shared by the rich and the famous 28. The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that it is. [A] customary of the educated to discard ambition in words [B] too late to check ambition once it has been let out [C] dishonest to deny ambition after the fulfillment of the goal [D] impractical for the educated to enjoy benefits from ambition 29. Some people do not openly admit they have ambition because. [A] they think of it as immoral [B] their pursuits are not fame or wealth [C] ambition is not closely related to material benefits [D] they do not want to appear greedy and contemptible 30. From the last paragraph the conclusion can be drawn that ambition should be maintained. [A] secretly and vigorously        [B] openly and enthusiastically [C] easily and momentarily        [D] verbally and spiritually Part ⅢEnglish-Chinese Translation Directions: Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation must be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (15 points) Governments throughout the world act on the assumption that the welfare of their people depends largely on the economic strength and wealth of the community. 31)Under modern conditions, this requires varying measures of centralized control and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational research experts. 32)Furthermore, it is obvious that the strength of a country’s economy is directly bound up with the efficiency of its agriculture and industry, and that this in turn rests upon the efforts of scientists and technologists of all kinds. It also means that governments are increasingly compelled to interfere in these sectors in order to step up production and ensure that it is utilized to the best advantage. For example, they may encourage research in various ways, including the setting up of their own research centers; they may alter the structure of education, or interfere in order to reduce the wastage of natural resources or tap resources hitherto unexploited; or they may cooperate directly in the growing number of international projects related to science, economics and industry. In any case, all such interventions are heavily dependent on scientific advice and also scientific and technological manpower of all kinds. 33)Owing to the remarkable development in mass-communications, people everywhere are feeling new wants and are being exposed to new customs and ideas, while governments are often forced to introduce still further innovations for the reasons given above. At the same time, the normal rate of social change throughout the world is taking place at a vastly accelerated speed compared with the past. For example, 34)in the early industrialized countries of Europe the process of industrialization—with all the far-reaching changes in social patterns that followed—was spread over nearly a century, whereas nowadays a developing nation may undergo the same process in a decade or so. All this has the effect of building up unusual pressures and tensions within the community and consequently presents serious problems for the governments concerned. 35)Additional social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements—themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport. As a result of all these factors, governments are becoming increasingly dependent on biologists and social scientists for planning the appropriate programs and putting them into effect.

(~of)处置,部署 本题考核的知识点是:逻辑语义 + 动词词义辨析。正确率:70% [快速解题] 空格所在部分谈到农民把余粮作为商品(as a commodity)出售的目的之一是:4 old agricultural implements,空格处填入的动词说明对“旧农具”施加的动作。出售余粮不应该是为了补充(supplement)或购买(purchase)旧农具,更不可能是为了处置、安排(dispose)旧农具。只有replace表达的“用余粮换得的钱来买新农具以更换旧农具”符合逻辑。 [篇章分析]  此处commodity后跟有which引导的定语从句,具体说明余粮作为商品的用途:更换旧农具及购买化肥。定语从句中,in order to连接两个并列的不定式结构to replace...and (to) obtain... 做目的状语。 [空格设置]  ④句较长,其中嵌套了which引导的定语从句。replace一词含义虽然简单,但需要通过理解上下文意来解答。例句:to replace meals with snacks不吃正餐,改吃点心;You’ll be expected to replace any broken glasses.玻璃杯如有损坏,要负责赔偿。 [干扰项设置]  从语法上讲,其他项都可与implements(工具,器具)构成动宾搭配。例句:They purchased the land for $1 million.他们以100万美元买下了这块土地。a diet supplemented with vitamin pills 有维生素片的饮食。dispose意为“排列,安排,布置”,dispose of sb/sth可意为“处置,清除,销毁”,如:He disposed of his old car.他处理掉他的旧汽车。也指“解决,处理(问题、困难等);击败,杀死(某人)”。 5.[A] enhance提高,增强,增进(效力、影响、价值等) [B] mix(使)混合,融合;混淆 [C] feed供给必需品,喂养,饲养 [D] raise种植,饲养;抚养,养育 本题考核的知识点是:动词词义辨析。正确率:40% [快速解题] 空格部分谈到农民把余粮作为商品出售的另一目的:obtain chemical fertilizers to 5 the soil。选项中enhance从含义上看似乎符合上下文语义要求,但它通常与抽象名词搭配;mix the soil指“混合(不同的土壤)”,不符合文意;raise不接soil做宾语。只有feed与soil搭配,feed为引申义,意为“给土壤增加养料”,符合文意。 [空格设置] 此题重点考查动词的用法及搭配。feed可意为“为……提供食品,喂(养),养活”,如:You can’t feed a family of five on $100 a week.你无法靠每周100美元的收入来养活一家五口。文中feed是比喻用法,需要根据上下文意理解。 [干扰项设置] enhance在词义上形成干扰,如:Health enhances beauty.健康使人显得更美。mix利用句中出现的两个事物“化肥”与“土壤”形成“将二者混合”的干扰,如:Oil does not mix with water.油不和水相溶。raise对feed构成近义干扰,如:raise corn/cattle种植玉米/养牛;They raised her (as) a Catholic.他们把她培养成为天主教徒。 6.[A] vessels船,容器,导管,脉管        [B] routes路,路线 [C] paths路,小路                        [D] channels渠道,管道 本题考核的知识点是:固定搭配 + 名词词义辨析。正确率:57% [快速解题]  空格处填入的名词与irrigation(灌溉)搭配。四个选项,首先排除routes和paths,它们主要指空中或地面的道路。vessel可以指“导运体液的导管”,但一般是细小的管道,特别是脉管、血管。只有irrigation channel可表示“灌溉水渠”。 [篇章分析] ⑤句和④句后半部分(as a commodity which he must...)含义密切相关。⑤句承接上文,继续介绍余粮被当作商品卖掉后的其他用途:(用卖余粮获得的钱)建灌溉水渠或以其他方式来改进农场。⑤句中also一词表明了它与上文的并列逻辑关系。 [空格设置]  名词的固定搭配也是知识运用的常考点。channel含义丰富,意为“电视台,频道;途径,渠道;水渠,河槽,水道,航道,海峡”,如:Complaints must be made through the proper channels.投诉必须通过正当途径进行。drainage channels in the rice fields稻田的排水沟。考生较熟悉的是它的前几个义项,此处考察了它表示“水渠”的含义及与irrigation的搭配。 [干扰项设置]  其他项与channel一样,都可以表示“路线、线路”,需要考生能辨清各自的用法。route意为“路线,路途;(公共汽车和列车等的)常规路线,固定路线”,如:a scenic/coastal route景色优美的/沿海的公路;an air/bus route飞行航线/公交路线,它也可比喻为“途径,渠道”,如:the route to fame/power成名的/获取权力的途径。path意为“小路,小径”,也指“(行进的)路线,道路”,如:a bicycle path自行车道;the path of a hurricane飓风行经的路线;它还可比喻为“行动 计划 项目进度计划表范例计划下载计划下载计划下载课程教学计划下载 ,成功途径”,如:a career path职业道路;the path to freedom/success通向自由/成功的道路。vessel可意为“大船;(盛液体的)容器;(人或动物的)脉管,血管,(植物的)导管”,如:blood vessel血管。 7.[A] self-confident自信的                 [B] self-sufficient自给自足的 [C] self-satisfied自满的,自鸣得意的    [D] self-restrained自我控制的,有节制的 本题考核的知识点是:形容词词义辨析。正确率:67% [快速解题] 空格所在句子的含义:如果农民没了余粮(来周转),就不能……。[A]、[C]和[D]都是描述人的心理特点的形容词,不符合上下文意;只有[B]表达的“不能自给自足”符合逻辑,下文提到的“他只得变卖部分家产或……贷款”进一步说明了农民不能自给自足的状态。 [篇章分析]⑥句是一个承上启下的过渡句,从上文“余粮的作用”转向“农民没有余粮的后果”。 ⑥句是统领了⑦⑧句的总起句。 [空格设置]  此题实际上是通过考查复合形容词来考查上下文的语义。self-sufficient与上文③句中support himself and his family遥相呼应,说明的都是农民储备余粮的重要作用。self-sufficient意为“自给自足的,自立的”,如:The country is totally self-sufficient in food production.在粮食生产上,这个国家完全达到了自给自足。 [干扰项设置]  其他项都是self-构成的复合形容词,且都可修饰farmers。例句:a self-confident manner自信的态度。He had a self-satisfied smile on his face.他脸上挂着得意洋洋的笑容。her self-restrained smile她克制的微笑。 8.[A] search搜查                [B] save解救,节省 [C] offer提供,出价            [D] seek寻求,寻找 本题考核的知识点是:动词词义辨析。正确率:68% [快速解题] ⑦句指出,(如果农民没有生产剩余)他必须变卖部分家产或以贷款的形式……额外的资金。因此“节省(save)额外的资金”或“提供(offer)额外的资金给别人”都不符合文意。search作“找寻”讲时,应搭配介词for。因此正确答案是seek,放入文中,意为“寻求以贷款的形式获得的额外资金”。 [篇章分析]  ⑦句是分叙句,具体论述⑥句中的cannot be self-sufficient:他或者需要变卖财产,或者需要借贷。 [空格设置] 本题既考查了动词与名词(extra funds in the form of loans)的搭配,又考查了上下文意。seek意为“寻找;寻求,谋求”,如:seek new ways of expanding membership探索发展会员的新途径。 [干扰项设置]  其他项都可接funds做宾语,尤其是search干扰性较强,因此必须理解上下文并准确掌握动词用法,才能排除干扰。save可意为“节省”;offer可意为“提供,供给”;search意为“搜索,搜寻,搜查”,接表示地点的名词做宾语,或用~for sth/sb,表示“找寻(某人/物)”,如:searched the plane for survivors搜查飞机寻找幸存者,She searched in vain for her passport.她翻找自己的护照,但没找着。 9.[A] proportion比例,比率,均衡        [B] percentage百分比 [C] rate比率,速度,等级                [D] ratio比率,对比,比值 本题考核的知识点是:固定搭配。正确率:61% [快速解题] 根据⑦句中的loans(贷款)以及本句的borrow money,可以推测出9of interest 应表示利率。rate of interest或interest rate意为“利率”,是固定搭配。 [篇章分析]  ⑦⑧句是承接关系,⑦句提到农民不能自足时,要去借贷,⑧句说明借贷时会遇到的困难。⑧句中borrow money与⑦句中extra funds in the form of loans是近义复现,实现了句子之间的衔接。 [空格设置] 本题考查名词的搭配用法。rate可意为“比率,率”,指一定时期内事情发生的次数或事例存在的个数的测量方法,如:the annual divorce rate离婚率;或指“(收取或付给的固定的)费用,价格”,如:a low/high hourly rate of pay按小时支付的低/高报酬;the basic rate of tax基本税额。文中用到的是第二个含义。 [干扰项设置] 其他项都可以表示某种比例关系,构成对rate的近义干扰。proportion意为“比例,比率”,常见用法有the proportion of sth to sth(即事物或事物各部分之间在大小、数量或程度上的关系),如:the proportion of births to deaths人口出生与死亡的比例;另一个是in proportion to (数量之间的一种关系,暗指如果一方发生变化则另一方也随之发生相应的变化),如:happiness not in proportion to virtue幸福与美德不成比例。percentage意为“百分比”,如:What percentage of the students were absent?旷课的学生占百分之几?ratio指“两件相似事情在程度或数量上的对比关系”,如:The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen in water is 2 to 1. 水中氢和氧的比率是2∶1。 10. [A] genuinely真诚地,诚实地            [B] obviously明显地 [C] presumably可能地,大概,推测起来         [D] frequently经常地 本题考核的知识点是:上下文语义+副词词义辨析。正确率:67% [快速解题] 空格处是but引导的转折分句,前文提到农民自然想获得低利率贷款,后半句转折指出:但是这种低息贷款并不…得到。四个选项中,首先排除genuinely,它在语义上不与obtainable搭配。obviously表示的“明显不可获得”过于绝对,不符合逻辑。presumably一般做句子副词单独使用,不和其他形容词连用。从意义上来看,只有[D]符合题意,“不经常(frequently)可以得到”表示这样的机会很少。 [篇章分析] ⑧句是一个由but连接的表转折关系的并列句,this kind即指上文low rate of interest(低利率)。 [空格设置]  本题通过考查副词词义,实际考查考生对上下文语义的理解,not frequently与上文Naturally he will存在转折关系。 [干扰项设置] 其他项都是副词,是根据中文含义设置的干扰。例句:He genuinely believes in what he sells.他真地相信他卖的东西。 He was obviously drunk.他显然是喝醉了。Presumably the bad weather has delayed the flight.大概恶劣的天气使飞机误点了。 三、全文翻译 一个农民要想成功,就必须在消费和生产之间努力保持着较大的差距。他必须存储大量的粮食而不是立即把所有的粮食都消费掉。只有生产有剩余,农民才能继续养活自己及家人。他必须用以下三种方式来使用这些余粮:留作种子,留作预防恶劣天气影响的保障措施,以及作为商品卖掉,来更换旧农具和购买化肥给土壤施肥。他可能还需要钱来修建灌溉水渠,或在其他方面改善自己的农场。如果没有余粮,农民就不能自给自足,他就只得变卖部分家产或通过贷款寻求额外的资金。自然,他会尽量争取低息贷款,但这种贷款不是经常能够得到的。 Part ⅡReading Comprehension Passage 1 一、核心词汇注释 at a loss 困惑,不知所措 例:I’m at a loss what to do next. 我对下一步做什么心里没谱。 casualty n. 1. [C] (事故或战斗中的)伤亡人员 *2. [C](某特定事件或情况造成的)受害者,损坏物 例:Small shops have been a casualty of the recession. 小商店在经济萧条中深受其害。 3.

Now he has changed his body structure, has gone on a diet, has learned to be more quick-moving. 三、文章结构分析 本文题材涉及美国经济。全文通过描述二战后到90年代美国经济发展所经历的“兴旺——衰退——复兴”三个阶段,论证了作者在文章首句阐明的观点。考生应根据时间发展顺序这一论述主线来把握文章的脉络。 第一段首句:阐述作者的观点。第一段②句至段末:描述二战后美国毫不费力就取得了经济霸主地位及其原因。 第二至三段:描述80年代美国经济霸主地位的丧失及其影响。第二段使用举例论证法加以证明。第三段分析影响,即美国作出了反思和调整。 第四段:描述90年代美国经济的复苏及随之而来的盲目乐观情绪。该段最后引用一些专家的话来证明这种盲目乐观的存在。 四、试题具体分析 11.The U.S. achieved its predominance after World War Ⅱ because. 11.二战后美国取得霸主地位是由于。 [A] it had made painstaking efforts towards this goal [A] 它为实现这一目标付出了艰辛的努力 [B] its domestic market was eight times larger than before [B] 其国内市场比以前大八倍 [C] the war had destroyed the economies of most potential competitors [C] 战争摧毁了大多数潜在竞争对手的经济 [D] the unparalleled size of its workforce had given an impetus to its economy [D] 空前规模的劳动力促进了其经济的发展 本题考核的知识点是:因果细节。正确率:67% [快速解题] 根据题干时间关键词after World War Ⅱ定位到第一段②句。该段列举了美国取得霸主地位的多个原因。末句提到:美国的国富民强是欧亚国家做梦都想不到的,因为战争摧毁了后者的经济。由此可推知[C]正确。[A]中painstaking efforts与①句的effortless success相悖。[B]比较对象错误,文中指出美国的市场比竞争者大八倍,而[B]成了美国自身的前后比较。[D]出现了文中未提的对象“空前规模的劳动力”,而原文谈及的是“空前的产业经济规模”。 [篇章分析] 第一段首句阐述了作者两个层次的观点:一,毫不不费力获得持久成功的历史可能成为一种可怕的障碍;二,若处理得当,则这种障碍可以成为动力。随后三句构成的义群对首句的“毫不不费力获得持久成功的历史”进行具体阐述。②句的such a glowing period回指①句的A history of long and effortless success。这三句列举了二战后美国无可比拟的五个经济优势,也就是其获得经济霸主地位的原因,从而说明二战后美国的经济繁荣时期是一段毫不费力获得成功的历史。所列举的五个原因中,前四个较明显,正面论述美国的经济优势:大市场、大规模的产业经济、最优秀的科学家、技术最娴熟的工人。最后一个间接论述美国的优势:其主要竞争对手的经济遭到战争破坏。 [正确项设置] 正确答案的信息隐含于第一段末句的定语从句中。末句的主句指出了美国的经济霸主地位:美国的国富民强令欧亚国家难以望其项背,从句暗含了原因:战争摧毁了欧亚国家(美国的多数潜在竞争对手)的经济。[C]是末句的改写,用most potential competitors替换末句中的the Europeans and Asians。 [干扰项设置] [A]根据首句中关键词effortless以及人们的常规思维——成功往往需要巨大的努力——设置反向干扰。[B]、[D]偷梁换柱:[B]将②句中的比较对象“(U. S.) than any competitor”替换成“(then) than before”;[D]将②句中的unparalleled economies of scale和③句中的workers糅合成unparalleled size of its workforce。 12.The loss of US predominance in the world economy in the 1980s is manifested in the fact that the American. 12. 20世纪80年代美国丧失了世界经济霸主地位,可以被事实证明。 [A] TV industry had withdrawn to its domestic market [A] 电视产业已萎缩到国内市场 [B] semiconductor industry had been taken over by foreign enterprises [B] 半导体行业已被外国公司接管 [C] machine-tool industry had collapsed after suicidal actions [C] 机床制造业已自取灭亡了 [D] auto industry had lost part of its domestic market [D] 汽车工业失去了部分国内市场 本题考核的知识点是:具体细节。正确率:46% [快速解题] 根据题干时间关键词1980s先定位到第二段③句。由于备选项涉及了四个具体产业的事实细节,因此进一步定位到⑤至⑨句,将原文与选项对比,判别事实真伪。[A]与⑤⑥句的事实不符——美国最后一家电视生产厂家都被外国公司收购(Now there is none)。⑦句提到,“外国制造的汽车和纺织品正在大举进入国内市场”,言外之意,美国的这两个行业正在失去部分国内市场,因此[D]正确。⑧句提到美国机床工业岌岌可危(on the ropes),没有提到它“已经灭亡”或“有自杀性行动”,排除[C]。末句提到,半导体制造业似乎将要成为下一个“受害者”,(即,与其他行业一样,也将失去国内市场)。但词组looked as though和was going to说明它只是一种可能性,并未成为事实。[B]指出其已经被外国公司接管,不符合文意。 [篇章分析] 继第一段“美国战后轻而易举获得成功”之后,第二段开始转入对“80年代美国丧失经济霸主地位”的描述,从而论证全文首句中第一层次的观点:毫不不费力获得持久成功的历史可能成为一种可怕的障碍。该段前三句阐述“美国丧失经济霸主地位”的事实,通过同义表达的复现(primacy should have narrowed,retreat from predominance和fading industrial competitiveness)实现了句子间的衔接。①句分析了原因:其他国家日益强盛,即竞争对手的竞争力增强;②③句指出了影响:令美国人感到痛苦和不知所措。④句至段末列举美国多个产业(消费电子业、汽车业、纺织业、机床业、半导体业)的衰败证明其经济霸主地位已经丧失。 [正确项设置] [D]是⑦句的同义表达。第二段在提到汽车和纺织业时,是从“外国商品入侵美国国内市场”的角度间接地说明其衰败的。 [干扰项设置] [A]、[B]偷梁换柱。[A]将第⑤⑤句隐含的信息lost all its domestic market偷换成withdrawn to its domestic market。[B]将末句的将来时态was going to be替换成过去完成时had been。[C]利用考生对短语on the ropes的不熟悉,添加无关信息collapsed after suicidal actions。 13.What can be inferred from the passage? 13.从文章中可以推出什么? [A] It is human nature to shift between self-doubt and blind pride. [A] 在自我怀疑与盲目骄傲之间来回转变是人的本性。 [B] Intense competition may contribute to economic progress. [B] 激烈竞争有可能促进经济发展。 [C] The revival of the economy depends on international cooperation. [C] 经济复苏取决于国际合作。 [D] A long history of success may pave the way for further development. [D] 持续成功的历史可能为进一步的发展铺平道路。 本题考核的知识点是:推理引申。正确率:49% [快速解题] 题干没有提供定位信息。因此只能每个选项分别定位。此外,题干中infer一词说明正确项的内容是文中暗示而没有直接陈述的内容。本文始终将“竞争”与“经济兴衰”联系在一起:当竞争对手的经济遭受战争破坏时,美国毫不费力地享有经济霸主地位;当竞争日益激烈时,美国的经济开始衰退,并由此而反思、警惕,最后实现了经济的复苏。可见,激烈竞争促使美国人作出改变,从而间接上促进了经济的发展。[B]符合文意。 根据[A]的关键词self-doubt and blind pride定位到第四段④句。该句提到“自我怀疑被盲目骄傲取代”,并没有说它们之间的相互转换,更没有说这是人的本质。所以[A]不正确。[C]中“国际合作”在文中根本没有提及。根据[D]的关键词A long history of success定位到第一段首句,该句指出持久成功的历史可能成为可怕的障碍。第一、二段论述的“美国在持续成功后出现经济的衰退”也证明了这一点。由此排除[D]。 [篇章分析] 第三段承接第二段,叙述美国人面对经济衰退而作出的反思和调整。前三句指出经济衰退使美国人出现信心危机:不再视繁荣为理所当然之事;开始对自己的商业经营方式和未来的收入都失去了信心。②句暗含了一个信息:美国人曾经将经济繁荣视为理所当然的态度加速了美国经济的衰退。后两句叙述美国采取的措施:不断探究产业衰退的原因;发出海外竞争压力日益增长的警告。 第四段前两句指出,90年代美国经济取得了复苏。至此,全文首句中第二层次的观点得到了论证:若处理得当,则这种障碍可以成为动力。 [正确项设置] 正确答案的信息跨越多个段落,且非常隐蔽。第二至四段的因果链条是:激烈竞争——经济霸主地位的丧失——反省警惕——经济复苏,[B]指出了该链条中隐含的间接因果关系。 [干扰项设置] [A]根据第四段④句设置,将文中yielded to替换成shift between,并添加无关信息human nature。[C]也根据因果关系设置,编造原因international cooperation。[D]反向干扰,将全文首句中的be a dreadful handicap改为pave the way for。 14.The author seems to believe the revival of the U.S. economy in the 1990s can be attributed to the. 14.作者似乎认为美国20世纪90年代的经济复苏可以被归结为。 [A] turning of the business cycle [A] 经济的周期性变化 [B] restructuring of industry [B] 产业改组 [C] improved business management [C] 企业管理的改善 [D] success in education [D] 教育的成功 本题考核的知识点是:作者观点。正确率:34% [快速解题] 根据题干中时间关键词1990s 定位到第四段。③句指出,鲜有美国人将经济的增长仅仅归因于美元贬值或经济周期变化这些显而易见的原因。④句称这种态度为“盲目骄傲”。由此可知,它们可能是作者认同的真正原因。故[A]正确。[B]、[C]分别是下文引用的专家Richard Cavanaugh和Stephen Moore认可的原因,它们是“盲目乐观”的引证,因此是作者批判的观点。[D]文中未提及。 [篇章分析] 第四段前两句指出美国经济得以复苏,③④句分析其影响:美国没有理性地认识它的真实原因,而是表现出盲目骄傲。⑤至⑦句引用专家的话来证明盲目骄傲态度的存在。 [正确项设置] [A]是第四段③句暗含的作者观点。第四段主要从两个方面论证经济复苏带来的“盲目骄傲”。其一,指出很少有人意识到经济增长的更可能的原因;其二,引证“盲目骄傲”的错误观点。 [干扰项设置] [B]、[C]利用第四段引用的他人观点作为干扰。因此考生一定要分清哪些是作者自己的观点,哪些是作者引用的观点。[D]无中生有。 五、全文翻译 一段毫不费力就可以获得持久成功的历史可能成为一种可怕的障碍,但若处理得当,它也有可能转化为一种推动力。(句式1)二战结束后,美国恰好进入了这样的一段辉煌时期,当时,它拥有比任何竞争者大八倍的市场,使其产业经济达到了前所未有的规模。(句式2)它已拥有世界上最优秀的科学家和技术最娴熟的工人。美国的国富民强是那些经济遭到战争破坏的欧亚诸国做梦也无法想像的。 随着其他国家日益强盛,美国的这一领先优势逐渐缩小,这是不可避免的。领先优势的丧失同样不可避免地令人感到痛苦。到了80年代中期,面对其日益衰退的产业竞争力,美国人感到不知所措。面对国外竞争,一些大型的美国产业,如消费电子业,已经萎缩或倒闭。到1987年,美国只剩下Zenith这一家电视生产商(现在一家也没有了:Zenith已于7月被韩国LG电器公司收购)。外国制造的汽车和纺织品正在大举进入美国国内市场。美国的机床产业也岌岌可危。半导体是美国人发明的,并在计算机新时代处于核心地位,但有一段时间,半导体制造业似乎将要成为下一个“受害者”。(句式3) 所有这一切引发了一场信心危机。美国不再视繁荣为理所当然之事。他们开始相信自己的商业经营方式不灵了,也相信不久他们的收入会因此而下降。80年代中期,人们不断地探究美国产业衰退的原因。偶尔一些耸人听闻的发现中充满着对海外竞争压力日益增长的警告之词。 情况变化尤为神速!1995年,当日本还在奋力挣扎的时候,美国却可以对五年的稳固发展作一回顾了。很少有美国人将此仅仅归因于美元贬值或经济的周期循环这些显而易见的原因。于是,自我怀疑被盲目乐观所取代。用哈佛大学肯尼迪管理学院行政院长理查德·卡佛纳的话说就是:“美国产业已经调整了其结构,进行了精简,反应也更敏捷了”。(句式4)华盛顿特区的智囊团——卡托研究院的史蒂芬·莫尔也说:“我们的企业正在提高生产率,作为一个美国人,我感到自豪。”哈佛商学院的威廉·萨尔曼相信人们回顾这段时期时,将把它视为“美国企业管理的黄金时代”。 Passage 2 一、核心词汇注释 agent n. [C] 1.代理人,代理商,代理公司;(演员等的)经纪人  2.特工人员,情报员,间谍 *3.sb or sth that affects or changes a situation or that exerts power or produces an effect原动力,动因;作用者;作用物 例:Technological advances are the chief agents of change. 技术进步是变革的主要原动力。 commit suicide 自杀;文中commit evolutionary suicide指的是“阻碍、扼杀进化” excess n.[U] *1.过分,过量 例:an excess of enthusiasm 过度热情 2.

[A] A lack of mates. [A] 缺乏配偶。 [B] A fierce competition. [B] 激烈的竞争。 [C] A lower survival rate. [C] 存活率低。 [D] A defective gene. [D] 基因缺陷。 本题考核的知识点是:具体细节。正确率:52% [快速解题] 第一段①句指出过去存在的情况:作为男人充满危险。第二句用男女比例变化的数据予以说明:出生时男性比女性多,到成年期男女数量达到平衡,到70岁时女性比男性多一倍。从这个变化过程可以推出过去男性存活率普遍低于女性。此外,紧跟着的③句指出“(过去)男性死亡率普遍偏高的情况(the great universal of male mortality)正在改变”,因此[C]正确。从上述分析可知,到了成年期,男女的比例基本持平,因此男性不存在[A] “缺乏配偶”的危险。[B]未在文中提到。本段只在最后一句提到“基因差异”(variation is due to genes),并没有提到“基因缺陷”,排除[D]。 [篇章分析] 第一段指出自然选择的两个因素已消失。①至⑤句构成的意群指出,男女存活率的差异已经消失。①句用简洁概括的语言指出,过去身为男性总是充满危险。②句用数据对这种“危险”予以说明:在整个生命过程中,男性的存活率低于女性。...born...maturity...70-years-olds...构成的时间链串起了人的整个生命历程。③句为过渡句,指出这种情况已发生改变。is being changed说明这种变化是由于人为作用引起的。④⑤句指出现在的情况:男女的存活率已经几乎相同。⑥至⑩句构成的意群为“总——分——总”结构。⑥句为过渡句兼意群主旨句,承接上文指出,自然选择的另一个(another)因素也已消失。⑦至⑨句通过对比现在和过去的情况(Fifty years ago... Today)指出,体重几乎不再影响到婴儿的存活率。⑩句总结指出,这意味着又一个进化因素的消失。 [正确项设置] [C]是第一段②句的言外之意。 [干扰项设置] [A]对②句105 males born for every 100 females断章取义。但这种差异存在于“婴儿期”而不是“成年期”。[B]无中生有。[D]偷梁换柱,将“基因差异”偷换为“基因缺陷”。 16.What does the example of India illustrate? 16.印度的例子说明了什么? [A] Wealthy people tend to have fewer children than poor people. [A] 富人往往比穷人的孩子少。 [B] Natural selection hardly works among the rich and the poor. [B] 自然选择在穷人和富人中几乎都不起作用。 [C] The middle class population is 80% smaller than that of the tribes. [C] 中产阶级的人口比部落人口少80%。 [D] India is one of the countries with a very high birth rate. [D] 印度是出生率很高的国家之一。 本题考核的知识点是:写作目的。正确率:60% [快速解题] 第二段最后两句介绍了印度的情况:这个国家少数居住在大城市的人拥有财富,而其他部落民族却很贫穷。但如今,无论贫富,每一个人都同样地生存并且拥有同样多的子女,这意味着自然选择对印度的富有阶层也不再起很大作用。而举例之前的观点论述(⑥句)是该例子要说明的,即:人与人之间的差异和利用差异进行自然选择的机会再一次减少。因此,[B]是举例所要说明的。[A]与第二段末句谈到的“极其显著的平均化——每个人的生存机会和子女数量都相同”事实不符。第二段末句提到80%是为了说明中上阶层与部落在自然选择因素上的差异大大缩小,不是具体说明它们人口数量的差异,[C]无从推知。[D]在文中未提及。 [篇章分析] 第二段和第一段为并列关系,指出造成人类进化停止的另一个因素。①句为段落主旨句,指出该因素是子女数目减少。②到⑤句具体阐述这一因素的消失:相比过去,人们的子女数目减少;子女数目和寿命都趋于平均化。⑥句总结指出,人与人之间的差异和利用这种差异进行自然选择的机会都减少。⑦到⑨句以印度为例论证前文观点。⑦句为过渡句,说明下文举例是为了论证上文观点。⑧⑨句之间存在对比关系:(本来)财富差异使得印度的中上层具有绝对的优势,但随着子女数目和寿命的平均化,中上层失去了这种绝对优势(lost 80% of its power)。 [正确项设置] ⑧⑨句关于印度的例子中存在多种比较,[B]是结合例子和所论证的观点(⑥句和⑨句)的阐述,对应⑨句中has lost 80% of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribes。 [干扰项设置] [A]对事实进行反向干扰,对应第二段末句中everyone being the same in... number of offspring。[C]偷换概念,将第二段末句中“自然选择影响力的比较”偷换成“人口数量的比较”。[D]利用常识设置无关干扰。 17.The author argues that our bodies have stopped evolving because. 17.作者认为我们的身体不再进化的原因是。 [A] life has been improved by technological advance [A] 技术的进步改进了人的生活 [B] the number of female babies has been declining [B] 女婴数量一直在减少 [C] our species has reached the highest stage of evolution [C] 我们这种物种已达到了进化的最高阶段 [D] the difference between wealth and poverty is disappearing [D] 贫富差别正在逐渐消失 本题考核的知识点是:因果细节。正确率:82% [快速解题] 根据题干关键词our bodies have stopped evolving定位到第三段④⑤句。④句指出事实,我们的身体在过去10万年乃至100年中没有改变。⑤句指出原因:机器和社会代替我们进化了。即,技术的进步改善了人的生活,造成人身体进化的停止。[A]正确。[B]与题干无关,而且也与第一段的事实不符。[C]是题干“我们不再进化”的换一种说法,而不是原因。文中只提到贫富者之间在生育率方面不再有差别,而未一概而论所有差别都消失,排除[D]。 [篇章分析] 第三段指出人类进化已经停止。①句为过渡句,基于上文“多个进化因素的消失”的分析,指出人类进化已经结束。分号表示解释说明。②至④句进一步指出人的身体已经停止进化。⑤句指出其原因:机器和社会代替我们进化了。⑥句借用达尔文的比喻说明“进化远远超出人们的想像(savage looks at a ship,beyond his comprehension)”。⑦⑧句指出:(同样,)人类生活方式会进化(未来回顾20世纪的生活方式,它是原始的、丑陋的),但人类身体不会再继续进化(our descendants will look just like us)。 [正确项设置] [A]对应⑤句machines and society did it for us。 [干扰项设置] [B]和[D]根据前两段介绍的“男女存活率差异的消失”和“贫富阶层的生育率的差异在消失”捏造干扰信息。[C]是第三段①句the biological Utopia has arrived的同义改写。    18.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? 18.下面哪一个是文章最好的题目? [A] Sex Ratio Changes in Human Evolution. [A]人类进化过程中性别比例的改变。 [B] Ways of Continuing Man’s Evolution. [B]延续人类进化的方法。 [C] The Evolutionary Future of Nature. [C]自然进化的未来。 [D] Human Evolution Going Nowhere. [D]人的进化已穷尽。 本题考核的知识点是:文章主旨。正确率:69% [快速解题] 通观全文,第一段指出,由于促使自然选择的因素一个一个地消失了,自然选择的规律无法再保证人类的优胜劣汰。第二段以印度为例说明孩子数量的平均化这种“自杀性行为”导致自然选择的差异变小。最后一段中作者指出,人类进化已经结束。所以[D]是合适的标题。 [正确项设置] [D]是文章主题句(第三段①句)的改写,going nowhere 同义替换is over。 [干扰项设置] 其他项都涉及文章关键词evolution,增强了干扰。但[A]太窄,“性别比例的改变”只在第一段提到,不足以概括全文内容;[B]离题甚远,既然进化已经结束,又何来延续;[C]的nature太泛,future则和文中的时态不符。 五、全文翻译 身为男性总是有危险,男女出生时的比例大约是105∶100,但到了成年期,这一比例几乎持平,而在70岁的老年人中女性是男性的两倍。(句式1)但是男性死亡率普遍偏高的情况正在改变。如今,男婴存活率几乎同女婴一样高。这就意味着到了男孩寻找伴侣的关键年龄,将首次出现男孩过剩现象。更重要的是,自然选择的另一次机会也已不复存在了。50年前,婴儿(尤其是男婴)存活的机率取决于体重,轻一公斤或重一公斤几乎意味着必死无疑。现在,体重几乎不起什么作用。因为大部分差异是由基因引起的,所以进化的又一个因素消失了。 进化自杀还有另一种方法:活着,但少生孩子。(句式2)现在,没有几个人像过去那样具有旺盛的生育力。除了在一些宗教团体之外,几乎没有妇女能够生育15个孩子。当今出生的人数同死亡年龄一样已趋于平均化,我们多数人的子女数量大致相同。而且,人与人之间的差异和利用这种差异进行自然选择的机会都已经减少。(句式3)印度可以说明正在发生的一切。这个国家给大城市里的少数人提供财富,而给其余的各部落民族以贫困。今天这种极其显著的平均化——每个人的生存机会和子女数量都相同——意味着与部落相比,自然选择在印度中、上阶层已经失去了80%的效力。(句式4) 对我们来说,这意味着进化已经结束;生物学上的乌托邦已经来临。(句式5)奇怪的是,这一过程几乎丝毫没有牵涉到人身体上的变化。没有其他哪种物种在自然界中占有这么大的空间。但在过去的10万年——甚至过去的100年中,我们的生活发生了变化,但我们的身体却没有改变。我们没有进化。因为机器和社会代替我们进化了。达尔文曾用这样一句话描述那些对进化一无所知的人:他们“看有机的生命如同野人看船,好像看着某种完全不能理解的东西”。(句式6)毫无疑问,人类在回顾20世纪的生活方式时,会因其丑陋不堪而不能理解。但是,不管我们的子孙后代对我们离乌托邦的理想境界还差很远感到多么惊讶,他们的样子会同我们差不了多少。(句式7) Passage 3 一、核心词汇注释 at will whenever or wherever you like 任意,随意 例:They were able to come and go at will. 他们能够来去自由。 class vt. *[常用被动态] to think or decide that sb/sth is a particular type of person or thing 把……看作或分类、归类(用~sb/sth as sth)  例:Immigrant workers were classed as aliens. 移民来的工人已归入侨民类。 n. 1.

Pluff! A hundred and eighty-five kilograms.” 句子主干是it is a little upsetting to read ... and then to find...,其中it是形式主语,指代的是to read ... and then to find...两个不定式结构;其中不定式结构中的动词read和find分别接有that引导的宾语从句做宾语,即:that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge... 和that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers...。前一分句中off which they both fall into the river是修饰bridge的定语从句。 三、文章结构分析 这是一篇关于未来派诗歌这种新文学形式的文学评论。文章介绍了未来派诗歌的观点,并对其进行批评,指出很难将其归入文学范畴。文章为总-分-总的结构。 第一段:提出全文主旨:即使承认未来派诗歌的理论依据,也很难将它视为文学作品。 第二段:阐述未来派诗歌的观点。 第三段:以一首描写战斗的诗歌为例,指出未来派诗歌描写的杂乱无章。 第四段:呼应首段,再次重申未来派诗歌很难被归于文学作品这一主旨。 四、试题具体分析 19.This passage is mainly. 19.这篇文章主要是。 [A] a survey of new approaches to art [A] 对艺术新方法的概观 [B] a review of Futurist poetry [B] 对未来派诗歌的评论 [C] about merits of the Futurist movement [C] 有关未来派运动的优点 [D] about laws and requirements of literature [D] 有关文学的规则和要求 本题考核的知识点是:文章主旨。正确率:56% [快速解题] 本题涉及全文主旨,可以作为最后一道题来解答。首段给出了作者对未来派诗歌的总体评价——即使承认其理论根据,也很难将其视为文学作品。第二段介绍了未来派诗歌倡导者的观点,而其理论前提在全文最后受到了作者的质疑(The whole question is...)。第三段首句评价未来派诗歌令人费解,并以一首诗为例说明。第四段作者再次评价未来派诗歌很难被归入文学。因此,[B]是全文论述的内容。 [正确/干扰项设置] [B]是文章主题的集中体现,futurist poetry是贯穿全文的中心词汇。[A]、[D]都缺失了全文的关键词futurist poetry,[A]太泛,缺乏针对性,[D]利用第四段首句中the laws and requirements设置无关干扰。[C]与作者的否定态度相悖。 20.When a novel literary idea appears, people should try to. 20.当新的文学观点出现时,人们应该努力去。 [A] determine its purposes [A] 确定其目的 [B] ignore its flaws [B] 忽视其缺陷 [C] follow the new fashions [C] 追随这些新风尚 [D] accept the principles [D] 接受其原则 本题考核的知识点是:具体细节。正确率:64% [快速解题] 文章首句指出,当一场新的艺术运动形成某种风尚时,理应弄清其倡导者的目的所在……。[A]正确。 [篇章分析] 第一段从“普遍原理”到“特殊个例”,引出文章主旨。①句阐述普遍原理,为主题的出现作铺垫:只要弄清楚新艺术运动倡导者的目的,那么无论他们的观念多么不可思议,将来都有可能被接受。②句介绍“特殊个例”,引出主旨:即使了解了未来派诗歌倡导者的目的,仍然很难将其接受为文学作品。 [正确/干扰项设置] [A]和题干是①句前半部分(When a new movement... are aiming at)的同义改写,[A]对应文中find out what its advocates are aiming at。其他项利用①句中的个别词汇(unreasonable,fashion,principles)设置无关干扰。 21.Futurists claim that we must. 21.未来主义者宣称我们必须。 [A] increase the production of literature [A] 加大文学作品的创作数量 [B] use poetry to relieve modern stress [B] 用诗歌来减轻现代的压力 [C] develop new modes of expression [C] 形成新的表达方式 [D] avoid using adjectives and verbs [D] 避免使用形容词和动词 本题考核的知识点是:观点细节。正确率:87% [快速解题] 根据题干关键词futurist claim定位到第二段。由③句“这种加速的生活节奏需要一种新的表达形式(a new form of expression)”,可知[C]正确。④句中speed up our literature指“使文学的表现形式更富有速度感以诠释现代生活的节奏”,与数量无关,排除[A]。该句也提到,未来派诗人主张用诗歌诠释(interpret)现代生活的压力,而不是减轻,排除[B]。第五句提到,诗歌的表达不应受句号、修饰性形容词和限定动词的过多限制,但并非完全不能用形容词和动词,排除[D]。 [篇章分析] 第二段介绍了未来派诗歌倡导者的观点,即目的。①句指出,人类生活状况飞速变化,生活环境充斥着喧器、暴力和快节奏。②句指出,人类的感情、思想和情绪也随之产生了快速的变化。③④句指出,加速的生活节奏需要新的表达形式,即加速的文学形式。⑤⑥句指出这种文学形式的具体表现。 [正确/干扰项设置] [C]为③句a new form of expression的同义替换。[A]是④句中speed up our literature的曲解。[B]偷梁换柱,将④句中express偷换为relieve。[D]是⑤句中unhampered by... finite verbs的曲解。 22.The author believes that Futurist poetry is. 22.作者认为未来主义流派诗歌是。 [A] based on reasonable principles [A] 基于合理的原则 [B] new and acceptable to ordinary people [B] 对普通人来说是新生的、可接受的事物 [C] indicative of a basic change in human nature [C] 显示出人性的根本变化 [D] more of a transient phenomenon than literature [D] 与其说是文学,不如说是一种暂时的现象 本题考核的知识点是:作者观点。正确率:59% [快速解题] 通读全文,作者对未来派诗歌持完全否定的态度。第一段末句和最后一段首句都提到,即使承认其理论基础的合理性,也很难将其归入文学。[D]符合此意。其他选项均有肯定成分,与全文基调不符,应排除。[A]过于肯定,作者只是假设其理论合理。[B]与作者认为它“很难作为新文学形式被人们接受”的观点相悖。[C]不是未来派提出的,他们只谈到生活环境和思想感情的变化。 [篇章分析] 第三段与上文构成转折,以一首描述战斗的诗歌说明:(虽然未来派诗歌倡导者的目的已经很明确,但是)诗歌的描述却令人费解。 第四段①句评价以上这首诗很难被看作文学。②③句让步转折,先肯定未来派诗歌倡导者的基本观点,接着质疑其理论前提,从而更进一步证明很难将其归入文学之列。 [正确/干扰项设置] [D]是贯穿全文的观点,另外,全文基调(对未来派诗歌的完全否定)也是判断[D]正确的重要依据。[A]将作者的让步假设看做作者承认的事实。[B]根据文章首句中new movement,be regarded as normal设置干扰。[C]无中生有。 五、全文翻译 当一场新的艺术运动形成某种风尚时,明智的做法是弄清其倡导者的目的所在,因为无论他们的观念在今天看来是多么牵强附会、多么不可思议,将来都有可能被视为是正常的。(句式1)然而,就未来派诗歌而言,情况却比较复杂,因为无论未来派诗歌为何物,即使承认其理论根据可能正确,也很难将它归入文学。(句式2) 简而言之,未来派诗人这样宣称:一个世纪以来,过去的生活状况一直在有条件地飞速变化;现在,我们生活在一个充斥着喧器、暴力和快节奏的世界之中。因此,我们的感情、思想和情绪都产生了相应的变化。未来派诗人声称,这种加速的生活节奏需要一种新的表达形式。如果我们想诠释现代生活的压力,就必须加快文学发展的步伐。我们必须大量使用基本词汇,摆脱句号、修饰性形容词及限定动词的羁绊。我们不是要描绘声音,而是必须造出模仿声音的词语;我们必须在同一张纸上使用不同型号的字体和不同颜色的墨水,任意缩短或加长词语。 毫无疑问,他们对战斗的描述会令人费解。但是读到一句描写战斗的诗行的注解时,则更令人生厌。注解中说该诗描写了一名土耳其军官和一名保加利亚军官在一座桥上发生了搏斗,结果双双从桥上掉进河中——后来发现这一行诗文是由军官落水的声音和他们的体重组成的:“扑通!扑通!一百八十五公斤。”(句式3) 尽管这种写法符合未来派诗歌的规则和要求,但是却很难被归入文学之列。同样,任何一个有思想的人都不会拒绝接受他们的基本主张:情感生活的巨大变化要求表达方式也随之变化。但实际问题是:我们发生了根本的变化吗?

[A] Women’s participation in social activities is limited. [A] 妇女参加社会活动受到限制。 [B] More workers are dissatisfied with their jobs. [B] 更多的工人对自己的工作感到不满。 [C] Excessive emphasis has been placed on the basics. [C] 过多地注重基础教育。 [D] The life-style has been influenced by Western values. [D] 生活方式受西方价值观的影响。 本题考核的知识点是:因果细节。正确率:44% [快速解题] 文章第二至四段分析了日本道德水平下降的多种原因。第四段首句“(日本社会中道德观的弱化)更与生活方式的改变有关”说明,[D]是主要原因。[A]与第二段首句指出的“女性进入过去男性主导的就业市场”不符。[B]在第二段末句提到,但“相比其他国家的工人,更多日本工人对工作不满”应该是日本道德水平下降的表现而非原因。[C]错在excessive。第三段首句只提到,日本重视基础教育的同时忽视了创造力和自我表达的培养,并没有提及“对基础教育的重视过度”。 [篇章分析] 继第一段提出现象“日本传统道德价值观沦丧”之后,第二至四段层层深入,剖析了现象背后的原因。第二段分析社会原因:年轻人因发展机遇有限而对学习和工作产生质疑(questioning)和不满(dissatisfaction)。第三段分析了教育方面的原因:日本“重视应试和机械学习、忽略创造力和自我表现力的培养”的教育方式给青少年带来巨大压力和挫败感。第四段通过but… more…这一转折递进结构,指出造成该现象的主要原因:日本生活方式的改变使得日本人容忍力降低。 [正确项设置] [D]是第四段主旨的概括。 [干扰项设置] [A]偷梁换柱,将第二段①句中“青年人的社会机遇受到限制”改为“女性的社会活动受到限制”。[B]答非所问,将表现当作原因。[C]偷梁换柱,将第三段①句emphasis on the basics加上否定词excessive。 25.Which of the following is true according to the author? 25.按照作者的观点,下面哪一个是正确的? [A] Japanese education is praised for helping the young climb the social ladder. [A] 日本的教育受到称赞,因为它有助于年轻人攀登社会阶梯。 [B] Japanese education is characterized by mechanical learning as well as creativity. [B] 日本教育以机械的学习和创造力为特征。 [C] More stress should be placed on the cultivation of creativity. [C] 应该更多地强调创造力的培养。 [D] Dropping out leads to frustration against test taking. [D] 辍学导致了应试的挫败感。 本题考核的知识点是:作者观点。正确率:57% [快速解题] 作者在第三段评价日本教育时,先批评其强调应试和机械性学习而不强调创造力和自我表达的培养,接着引用教育委员会主席的话指出,这导致了严重的不良后果:孩子们辍学,变得难以管教,校园暴力也很突出。由此可知,作者希望教育加强对学生的创造力和自我表达能力的培养。[C]正确。同时可以排除[B]。第三段首句提到,日本教育受到表扬是因为它强调基础教育, 排除[A]。[D]的因果关系颠倒了,文中提到的是应试的挫败感导致孩子们辍学。 [篇章分析] 第三段从教育方面分析了日本道德价值观沦落的原因。①句指出了日本教育的特点:对“应试和机械学习”的强调胜过对“创造性和自我表现”的培养。②③句引用教育委员会主席的话,指出这种教育特点存在的弊端及导致的严重后果:忽略了学生的个性、能力、勇气或人道(而这些对人的价值观有重大影响);挫败感造成学生辍学、放荡不羁、暴力。④句用数据证明②③句的观点。⑤句指出日本保守的领导人针对这种情况提出的建议——恢复到战前强调道德教育的状况。⑥句指出持此观点的理由——战后美国占领当局引进的自由改革削弱了日本人的道德观。 [正确项设置] [C]为第三段①②句的深层含义。 [干扰项设置] [A]将climbing Japan’s rigid social ladder(第二段首句)和often praised for (第三段首句)糅杂到一起形成干扰。[B]偷梁换柱,将“stress mechanical learning over creativity”改为“stress mechanical learning and creativity”。[D]颠倒第三段③句中Frustration … leads kids to drop out的因果关系。 26.The change in Japanese life-style is revealed in the fact that. 26.日本生活方式的改变可以透过下列哪项事实表现出来? [A] the young are less tolerant of discomforts in life [A] 年轻人更难以忍受生活中的困难 [B] the divorce rate in Japan exceeds that in the US [B] 日本人的离婚率超过了美国人 [C] the Japanese endure more than ever before [C] 日本人忍受的东西比以前更多了 [D] the Japanese appreciate their present life [D] 日本人欣赏他们目前的生活 本题考核的知识点是:具体细节。正确率:50% [快速解题] 根据题干关键词life-style定位到第四段。该段④句指出,随着生活方式的改变,新一代的日本人不像从前那样愿意忍受生活中的不适(the discomfort is beginning to tell,tell意为“产生影响,显露出来”)。末句提到的离婚率和自杀率的上升就是不堪忍受的表现。可见,[A]是日本生活方式改变的表现。[B]与末句中“日本人的离婚率仍然低于美国人”的事实不符。[C]在文中未提及,文中只提到日本人的忍耐力减弱。[D]显然不对,否则就不会出现离婚率和自杀率的上升。 [篇章分析]第四段指出日本社会道德观沦丧的主要原因。①句为过渡句兼段落主旨句。承接前两段的原因分析,指出最主要的原因是日本生活方式的改变。②句援引教育家的话指出承受力的重要性。③④句指出了日本生活方式发生的改变:城市居住的集中造成人们的容忍性降低。⑤句指出了容忍性降低的表现:离婚率和自杀率上升。 [正确项设置] [A]是第四段④句the discomfort is beginning to tell的同义改写,对该句的理解需要结合上下文及段落主旨。 [干扰项设置] 其他项反向干扰。[B]中exceeds对应⑤句中的still well below。[C]将第四段提到的“容忍性降低”改为“相比以前忍受更多”。[D]利用③句中in favor of(看重,选择)设置干扰,但该句只客观介绍“大家庭被两代之家取而代之”。 五、全文翻译 毫无目标几乎不是战后日本的特色,相反,其生产率与社会的和谐程度为美国和欧洲所羡慕。但是,日本人正在经历传统工作道德价值观的日益衰退。10年前,日本年轻人工作勤奋,将工作视为他们存在的主要理由,但现在日本的经济需求已经大体上得到了满足,因此年轻人不知道他们下一步何去何从。(句式1) 战后生育高峰期的到来,以及女性进入由男性主导的就业市场,都限制了青少年的发展机遇,这些青少年已经开始质疑在为了进好学校,找好工作,而攀登日本等级森严的社会阶梯的过程中所付出的沉重的个人代价是否值得。(句式2)最近的一次调查发现,与62.7%的美国学生相比较,只有24.5%的日本学生对学校生活完全满意。此外,与被调查的其他10个国家的工人相比,对自身工作表示不满的日本工人数量要多得多。 虽然日本重视基础教育而经常受到外国人的赞扬,但是它往往强调应试和机械的学习,而不重视创造性和自我表现的培养。“考分反映不出的那些东西——个性、能力、勇气或人道——完全被忽视,”执政的自民党教育委员会主席Toshiki Kaifu说,(句式3)“这种情况带来的挫败感,致使孩子们辍学、放荡不羁。”去年日本发生了2 125起校园暴力事件,其中包括929起攻击老师事件。在一片抗议声中,许多保守的领导人正在力图恢复战前强调道德教育的状况。去年,时任教育大臣的Mitsuo Setoyama就提出责难,他认为二战后美国占领当局引进的自由改革削弱了“日本人尊敬父母的道德观”。 但是,这也许与日本人的生活方式关系更大。教育家Yoko Muro说,“在日本,你是否喜欢自己的工作和生活从来不是问题,问题仅仅是你能承受多大的负荷。”随着经济的发展,居住集中化也接踵而至,在日本一亿一千九百万人当中,足有76%的人生活在城市,社区和几世同堂的大家庭已经成为过去,取而代之的是单门独户的两代之家。城市里的日本人长期忍受着漫长的上下班来回路程和拥挤不堪的居住条件,但是,随着传统的群体和家庭价值观念的削弱,这种不舒适开始突显出来。在过去10年中,日本的离婚率,尽管仍远在美国之下,却也已经上升了50%多,而自杀率则上升了近1/4。 Passage 5 一、核心词汇注释 acquisitive a. wanting very much to buy or get new possessions渴求获取财物的,贪婪的;  acquire v. 获得,得到,取得 angle n.

Summer homes, European travel, BMWs—the locations, place names and name brands may change, but such items do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago. 句子主干是people do not...和...may change, but... do not。这两句话并不难理解,考生关键是要理解do not seem less interested in success and its signs now than formerly和do not seem less in demand today than a decade or two years ago这两个双重否定的比较级,意思是“丝毫不…,一点都不比…时候…”。 4.What has happened is that people cannot confess fully to their dreams, as easily and openly as once they could, lest they be thought pushing, acquisitive and vulgar. what引导的名词从句做主语,that引导的从句作表语,as...as...结构意为“像…一样”,修饰表语从句中的谓语confess。lest意为“惟恐、以免”,后面接的句子用虚拟语气(should)do,例:He ran away let he (should/might) be seen.(他跑开了,以免被人看见)。think sb /sth+a.意为“认为某人或某事物怎样”,例:You must think me very silly.(你肯定认为我很蠢)。 5.Instead, we are treated to fine hypocritical spectacles, which now more than ever seem in ample supply: the critic of American materialism with a Southampton summer home; the publisher of radical books who takes his meals in three-star restaurants; the journalist advocating participatory democracy in all phases of life, whose own children are enrolled in private schools. be treated to的意思是“被款待,被招待”,spectacles意为“壮观景象”,这里具有反讽意味。冒号后面三个并列名词性短语分别由with 引导的介词短语做定语,who引导的定语从句做定语和advocate的现在分词形式做定语,语言形式富于变化,无累赘乏味之感。 三、文章结构分析 本文是一篇关于如何正确看待雄心壮志的文章。文章先是表达了对雄心壮志的正确看法,接着批判了一些人对雄心壮志所持有的虚伪态度,同时也暗示雄心壮志是一种健康的追求,人们应该正确对待它。 第一段:抨击了一些受过教育的人对雄心壮志所持有的虚伪态度,主要使用说理和比喻论证方法。 第二段:指出人们的雄心壮志依然存在,只是人们不愿公开承认自己的梦想。该段使用举例论证。 第三段:指出由于人们支持较少,雄心壮志被迫转入地下的状况,并暗示人们应该正确看待雄心壮志。 、试题具体分析 27.It is generally believed that ambition may be well regarded if. 27.人们普遍认为,雄心壮志可能受到好评,如果。 [A] its returns well compensate for the sacrifices [A] 其收益充分地补偿了所作出的牺牲 [B] it is rewarded with money, fame and power [B] 它以金钱、名誉和权力作为回报 [C] its goals are spiritual rather than material [C] 其目标是精神上的而不是物质上的 [D] it is shared by the rich and the famous [D] 它是富人和名人共享的 本题考核的知识点是:具体细节。正确率:55% [快速解题]  文章开篇指出,若要雄心壮志被正确看待,那么它带来的回报——财富、声誉、对自己命运的掌控——应该被认为使人们值得为实现抱负而做出牺牲。[A]正确。[B]只提了雄心壮志带来的回报,没有将它与“为实现抱负作出牺牲”联系起来,含义不完整。[C]与文意不符,雄心壮志的目标也包括物质,如:财富。[D]文中未提,该段②句只提到“人们应当广泛地拥有(widely shared)雄心壮志这种传统”。 [篇章分析] 第一段①②句指出如何才能正确看待雄心壮志,两个句子使用平行结构:If ambition is to…If the tradition of ambition is to …实现了句间的衔接。①句指出,必须把为了得到雄心壮志的回报而作出的各种牺牲看作是值得的。②句进而指出,雄心壮志必须受到人们,尤其是包括受教育者在内的成功人士的广泛的推崇。该句采用it must...it especially must... not least的递进结构引出了推广雄心壮志的关键人群:the educated,从而与下文更好地衔接。③④句转而指出了受教育人士相反的做法:虽然从雄心壮志中受益匪浅却宣称已经放弃了雄心壮志。⑤句为全文主旨句,利用比喻的修辞手法揭示了受教育者这一行为的虚伪性。 [正确项设置] [A]为第一段①句的同义改写,its returns对应句中的the rewards of ambition;well compensate for对应be deemed worthy of。 [干扰项设置] [B]只截取了①句的部分内容the rewards of ambition—wealth, distinction, control over one’s destiny。[C]曲解原意,将①句提到的“雄心壮志带来的物质和精神的回报”曲解为“目标只有精神上的”。[D]利用②句中个别词汇shared设置无关干扰。 28.The last sentence of the first paragraph most probably implies that it is. 28.第一段最后一句话最有可能暗示。 [A] customary of the educated to discard ambition in words [A] 受过教育的人习惯于口头上摈弃雄心壮志 [B] too late to check ambition once it has been let out [B] 雄心壮志一旦被释放出来,再想抑制则为时已晚 [C] dishonest to deny ambition after the fulfillment of the goal [C] 在目标实现后否认雄心壮志是不诚实的 [D] impractical for the educated to enjoy benefits from ambition [D] 对受过教育者来说,享受雄心壮志带来的益处是不现实的 本题考核的知识点是:句意。正确率:39% [快速解题] 首段末句先指出受教育者行为的虚伪性,接着以“马已经跑了再关上马厩的门”这一生动的比方揭露受教育者“从雄心壮志中收益匪浅,却声称要放弃雄心壮志”的虚伪本质。二者相同之处在于均是虚伪的行为,其中,horses代表ambition,riding代表ambition带来的好处。[C]概括了这种虚伪性。 [正确项设置] 第一段末句以打比方作为论据,[C]是它要论证的观点。其中dishonest对应⑤句中hypocrisy,deny ambition after the fulfilment of the goal是⑤句this所指代的内容,也是③④句内容的概括。 [干扰项设置] [A]只提及部分事实。遗漏了“受教育者从野心中获益匪浅”这个重要内容,不足以体现其虚伪性。[B]望文生义,由末句closing the barn door after the horses have escaped联想到谚语lock the barn door after the horse is stolen(亡羊补牢,为时已晚),没有结合上下文来理解。[D]利用文中个别词汇benefits, ambition设置无关干扰。 29.Some people do not openly admit they have ambition because. 29.有些人不公开承认他们有雄心壮志是因为。 [A] they think of it as immoral [A] 他们将此看作是不道德的 [B] their pursuits are not fame or wealth [B] 他们追求的不是名誉和财富 [C] ambition is not closely related to material benefits [C] 雄心壮志与物质利益没有密切的联系 [D] they do not want to appear greedy and contemptible [D] 他们不想显得贪婪与可鄙 本题考核的知识点是:因果细节。正确率:77% [快速解题] 第二段③句指出,人们不能像以前那样轻易地、公开地坦陈自己的梦想(即承认有雄心壮志),惟恐别人认为自己爱出风头、贪得无厌、庸俗不堪(pushing, acquisitive and vulgar)。由此可知[D]正确。[A]文中未提及。第二段首句提到,“人们对成功及其标志的兴趣丝毫未减”,可见,[B]、[C]与事实相反。 [篇章分析] 第二段进一步阐述第一段末提出的观点“受教育者宣称放弃雄心壮志的做法有着浓重的虚伪色彩”。①句首先否定了宣称放弃雄心壮志是因为对成功及其标志的兴趣减少。②用人们依然在追求象征成功的物质的事实支持①句观点。③句进而指出他们不愿承认心怀雄心壮志的真正原因:害怕被别人认为自己贪得无厌、庸俗不堪。④句列举了现实生活中的虚伪做法。⑤句揭露这些做法的虚伪性:一方面享受着雄心壮志带来的成功,另一方面却避免表现出雄心壮志。 [正确项设置] 题干和正确项是第二段③句的同义改写。[D]将原句中的三个形容词替换为greedy and contemptible,题干用openly admit they have ambition同义替换句中confess fully to their dreams easily and openly。 [干扰项设置] [A]偷换概念,将③句中“被别人认为爱出风头等”偷换成“自己认为是不道德的”。[B]、[C]反向干扰,对应第二段①句people do not seem less interested in success and its signs。由②句可知,its signs 主要指fame and wealth,因此,雄心壮志和物质利益密切相关,人们追求它们的热忱丝毫未减。 30.From the last paragraph the conclusion can be drawn that ambition should be maintained. 30.从最后一段可以推出的结论是,雄心壮志应该被保持。 [A] secretly and vigorously [A] 秘密而精力充沛地 [B] openly and enthusiastically [B] 公开热情地 [C] easily and momentarily [C] 轻松而暂时地 [D] verbally and spiritually [D] 口头上和精神上地 本题考核的知识点是:推理引申。正确率:34% [快速解题] 最后一段谈到人们对雄心壮志的攻击远多于对它的维护,因此本应是一种健康公开的品质却得不到很多支持。不公开表达雄心壮志带来的后果是迫使雄心壮志转入地下,或暗藏于胸。由此我们可推知,人们不应该隐瞒自己的雄心壮志。此外,纵观全文,作者提倡的是正确看待雄心壮志,坦言自己的抱负。[B]恰是此意。[A]secretly是作者谴责的方式;[C]文中未提到;[D]没有涉及作者提倡的方式:公开地、积极地。 [篇章分析]第三段①句承接上文介绍的对待雄心壮志的虚伪做法,指出雄心壮志受到的不公正对待:受到的攻击多;得到的维护少。②至④句指出这种情况造成的后果。该部分运用As a result,… This doesn’t mean that…but only that…Consequences follow from this…这一正反交织的论证结构指出了目前的情况:雄心壮志虽依然起到激励人们的作用,但却得不到公开支持,而是被迫转入地下。⑤句总结指出现在人们对待雄心壮志的三种态度。 [正确项设置] 正确项信息暗含于末段②至④句。一方面,作者指出人们不敢坦诚心怀雄心壮志(less openly,no longer openly,underground和sly);另一方面,作者又对雄心壮志高度赞扬(a healthy impulse,a quality to be admired,its stirrings and promptings)。[B]是作者观点的概括。 [干扰项设置] [A]反向干扰,secretly对应④句中sly,是作者反对的观点。[C]无中生有。[D]利用文中词语impulse,in the mind of,openly professed设置无关干扰。 五、全文翻译 如果要正确看待雄心壮志的话,那么它带来的回报——财富、声誉、对自己命运的掌控——则应该被认为是值得人们为实现抱负而做出牺牲的。(句式1)如果雄心壮志的传统要继续保持活力,那么它就应该受到广泛的推崇,尤其应该受到那些受人仰慕的人们的高度重视,而那些受过教育的人更应包括在内。(句式2)然而,恰恰是那些受过教育的人却不可思议地声称他们已经放弃了雄心壮志壮志这一理想。奇怪的是他们或许已经从雄心壮志壮志中获益匪浅——如果不总是他们自己的雄心壮志,那么就是他们父辈或祖父辈的雄心壮志。这其中有着浓厚的虚伪色彩,恰如马跑后再关上马厩的门那样,而受过良好教育的人自己正骑在那些马背上。 当然,与过去相比,现在人们对成功及其标志的兴趣丝毫未减。避暑别墅,欧洲旅行、宝马轿车——位置、地名和品牌可能会改变,但现在对这些东西的需求似乎并未比一二十年前有所减少。(句式3)现在的情况是人们不能像以前那样轻易地、公开地坦陈自己的梦想,惟恐别人认为自己爱出风头、贪得无厌、庸俗不堪。(句式4)相反,我们似乎目睹了比以往任何时候都多的虚伪景象:美国实利主义的批评家在南安普顿拥有避暑别墅;激进的出版商到三星级宾馆就餐;倡导终生共享民主制的新闻记者却把自己的子女送进私立学校。对于这样的人,及更多也许不这么出色的人而言,最好的诠释是“不惜一切代价获得成功,但避免表现出雄心勃勃”。(句式5) 对雄心壮志的攻击非常之多,且出自各种不同的角度;公开为之辩解的则少之又少,虽不能说这些辩解毫无吸引力可言,但却未能给人们留下深刻印象。因此,在美国,雄心壮志作为一种健康的动力,一种应该令人称羡并扎根于青年人心灵的品质,它所得到的支持也许比以往任何时期都低。但这并不意味着雄心壮志已经穷途末路,人们再也感觉不到它的萌动和激励了,只是人们不再公开地以它为荣,更不愿公开地表白它了。当然由此产生的后果中的一些就是雄心壮志被迫转入地下,或暗藏于胸。于是,情况就成了这样:左边是愤怒的批评家,右边是愚蠢的支持者,而居中的通常是大多数认真而努力追求成功的人。

for the reasons given above意为“由于上述的原因”。 [标准译文] 大众通讯的显著发展使各地的人们不断感到有新的需求,不断接触到新的习俗和思想。由于上述原因,政府常常得推出更多的革新。 (34)in the early industrialized countries of Europe the process of industrialization—with all the far-reaching changes in social patterns that followed—was spread over nearly a century, whereas nowadays a developing nation may undergo the same process in a decade or so. 本题考核的知识点是:带破折号的句子的译法。正确率:62% [句子结构] 该句为复合句,其主干是:the process...was spread..., whereas...。句子中出现了两个破折号,英语中的破折号大致相当于汉语中的括号,起一个补充的作用。理解的时候可以先把破折号中的部分略去不看,以便加强对此句的整体印象。翻译的时候看破折号之间的内容是否与前后联系紧密,才能够决定译文中用不用破折号。第一个破折号后with介宾结构表示伴随,可以译成“随之而来的”;其中紧跟在social patterns后的定语从句that followed修饰的是changes,而不是social patterns,因此far-reaching changes in social patterns that followed应该译成“随之而来的各种深刻的社会结构变革”。whereas表示转折,使前后形成对比,可以译作“而、可是”;the same process 是指前面的the process of industrialization(工业化进程)。 [词义确定] far-reaching指“深远,深刻,广泛的”,spread over意为“延续,持续”,undergo意为“经历,完成”,or so意为“左右”。 [标准译文] 在先期实现工业化的欧洲国家中,其工业化进程以及随之而来的各种深刻的社会结构变革,持续了大约一个世纪之久,而如今一个发展中国家在十年左右就可能完成这个过程。 (35) Additional social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements—themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport. 本题考核的知识点是:破折号的作用、additional的译法和状语从句的译法。正确率:63% [句子结构]  该句子的主干是 social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems,because of 介词短语做原因状语。由于中文一般先说原因后说结果,因此翻译时可以把主句放在后面。arising from...修饰problems,意为“从…而起的问题”或“由于…而造成的问题”。破折号后themselves和过去分词made relatively easy一起是一个独立主格结构,起补充说明的作用,themselves指代前面的mass migration movements(大量的人口流动)。 [词义确定] social stresses指“社会压力”;occur意为“发生”;mass在这里指“大量的”。 [标准译文] 由于人口的猛增或人口的大量流动(现代交通工具使这种流动相对容易)造成的种种问题也会对社会造成新的压力。 四、参考译文 世界各国政府的行为都基于一个假设,即,本国人民的福利主要依赖于该国经济实力和社会财富。(31)在现代条件下,这需要程度不同的集中控制措施,从而就需要获得诸如经济学和运筹学等领域的专家的协助。(32)再者,显而易见的是一个国家的经济实力与其工农业生产效率密切相关,而效率的提高则又有赖于各种科技人员的努力。这也就意味着政府被迫越来越多地干预这些产业部门,以便提高生产率,确保产品的消费发挥最佳效益。例如,政府可能利用各种方法鼓励研究工作,包括建立自己的研究中心;政府可以改变教育结构,或进行干预,以便减少自然资源的浪费,开发尚未利用的资源;或者在日益增多的跨国科学、经济和工业项目中直接进行合作。无论如何,一切干预都离不开科学家的建议和各种科技人才。 (33)大众通讯的显著发展使各地的人们不断感到有新的需求,不断接触到新的习俗和思想。由于上述原因,政府常常得推出更多的革新。与此同时,与过去相比,世界各地社会变化的正常速度越来越快。例如,(34)在先期实现工业化的欧洲国家中,其工业化进程以及随之而来的各种深刻的社会结构变革,持续了大约一个世纪之久,而如今一个发展中国家在十年左右就可能完成这个过程。这一切带来的后果就是,在社会内部营造了异乎寻常的压力和紧张气氛,从而给有关政府带来了严重问题需要处理。(35)由于人口的猛增或人口的大量流动(现代交通工具使这种流动相对容易)造成的种种问题也会对社会造成新的压力。目前,以上所有这些因素产生的后果就是,各国政府为了制定合理的计划并将之付诸实施,越来越多地依靠生物学家和社会学家。 Section ⅣWriting(15 points) 一、审题谋篇 本题命题形式是图画式写作。该图片由上下两部分组成,展现的是对比关系。图片的主体是“船和鱼”,上部分的图片中,船有一艘,鱼则很多;而下部分图片则完全相反,船变得特别多,鱼却只有一条。图片上的“1900”和“1995”表明两部分展现的是不同时间段的不同景象。图片下面的标题“A history of world commercial fishing”揭示了图片所反映的现象的背景和原因。 分析图片后,接下来进行构思。根据题目要求,文章可以分为三部分写。第一部分对图片进行描写:因为两幅图形成的是一种鲜明的对比,描写时可采用对比的句式,注意表对比、转折的连接词的选用。第二部分分析画者的意图:结合图片及标题可知画者在揭示大肆捕捞使得海洋鱼类资源迅速减少的现象。进一步剖析,则可得出图片传达的深层含义是批判人类对自然资源的滥用,如果透过现象,分析原因,还可以得出:这一切破坏的根源是商业利益的驱使。第三部分提出相应的解决 方案 气瓶 现场处置方案 .pdf气瓶 现场处置方案 .doc见习基地管理方案.doc关于群访事件的化解方案建筑工地扬尘治理专项方案下载 ,需要列出具体可行的措施和建议。具体建议可以从负责部门和普通个人的角度分别提出。需要注意的是本文字数限制为150字左右,因此观点表达应力求简单明了。 二、参考范文 A big contrast is shown in the picture. In 1900 there was only one ship in the sea rich in fish, while in 1995, there became only one fish in the sea crowded with ships. The caption demonstrates that it was the ever-developing fishing industry that caused the devastating effects on the fishing resource. The picture conveys a deep concern about the ecological disaster which is being brought about by the over-fishing driven by short-term commercial interests. It also implies a more worrisome consequence. The profit-oriented behavior may penetrate into other fields, which results in the abuse of more resources. To solve this concern, we should spare no efforts in protecting natural resources. Laws should be enforced to prohibit the actions of blind exploitation, such as over-fishing in this picture. In addition, people should be educated to realize the value of these resources and voluntarily protect them. 三、范文点评 文章结构: 文章以描写图片开篇,自然过渡到图片含义的阐释和引申,并在充分论证的基础上提出合理的建议。整篇文章自然连贯,层次清晰。 语言亮点: 1. 平行结构表示对比,增强语势;同义词的运用,避免重复 In 1900 there was only one ship in the sea rich in fish, while in 1995, there became only one fish in the sea crowded with ships. 2. 强调句突显文章主题 It was the ever-developing fishing industry that... 3. 非限制性定语从句使语义紧凑、层次分明 The profit-oriented behavior may penetrate into other fields, which ... 4. 合成形容词 Ever-developing: ever+-ing表示“一直,不断……”,该词的意思是“不断发展”。又如:ever-increasing(不断增长) Profit-oriented: 名词+oriented, 意思是“以…… 为中心”,该词的意思是“以利益为中心”。又如:exam-oriented (以考试为中心) Over-fishing: over+-ing/ +ed 表示“过度的……”,该词的意思是“过度捕捞”。又如over-cooked(煮过了的) 5.词汇亮点 devastating:毁坏性的。一般修饰impact, effect, consequence等,如:Acid rain has a devastating effect on the forest. 酸雨对森林有很大的破坏性 convey:表达,传达。如:I want to convey to children that reading is one of life’s happiest things. 我想告诉孩子,在人的一生中,阅读是一件最快乐的事情 imply:暗示;意味。如:I don’t imply that you are wrong. 我没有暗示你错了 penetrate:渗透到,深入到。如:Explorers penetrated deep into unknown regions. 探险家深入到未知地域。 spare no efforts: “不遗余力”。类似表达有:work very hard, put in great effort, use all one’s power prohibit:禁止,阻止。搭配形式有prohibit sb from doing sth,如:They are prohibited from revealing details about the candidates. 严禁他们泄露候选人的具体信息 四、写作误区 篇章结构误区: 考生在主题把握上出现偏差,其原因如下:一,受惯有思维的影响。一些考生看到图片表现了鱼类资源减少,就想当然地把这一现象与pollution联系到了一起,从而大谈环境污染的坏处以及控制的措施。二,审题不全面。有些考生只看了图片的文字,通篇只写捕鱼业的历史。或者忽视图片文字,只谈渔类资源减少,避而不谈捕鱼业在其中的影响。三,立意狭隘。部分考生停留在现象的表面,对图片仅进行了初步分析,而对现象的来龙去脉以及其中蕴含的深刻的因果关系没有进行剖析。比如有些考生只得出“船多了鱼就少了”这种表面的联系,从而仅仅提出限制渔船数量的建议。 语言表达错误: 1. 用词不当Then people began to fish (catch)plenty of fishes in the ocean because they had bigger boats. Environmental education to children is one way(solution) to the problem of sea pollution. 2. 中式英语In 1995, the fishing ships were many.(In 1995, there were many fishing ships.) Ships were many more than in 1900.(There were many more ships in 1995 than in 1900.) 3. 文体不统一Ok. That’s what I want to say. Do you agree with me?(I hope my article will help more and more people realize the importance of protecting natural resources.) 4. 综合错误The decrease of the number of fish in the sea is not a simple problem which has many reasons.(The decrease of the number of fish, which is not a simple problem, has many reasons.) 五、相关链接 语法回顾: 1. 强调句“It is (was) +被强调的部分+that+剩余部分”。如:It is only when one is ill that one realize the value of health. It is this novel that they talked about last week.  2. 非限制性定语从句 修饰整个主句,使句意层次更清晰。如:She is always helping me, which touches me a lot. 表达补充: 1. 表对比转折关系的连接 but, however, nevertheless, yet, while, on the contrary, in contrast with (to) 2. 表列举的过渡词 ①for one thing,...for another...                 st... second... finally ③in the first place... in the second place        irst of all... next ⑤to begin with... what’s more                addition, besides, also, on top of that  3. 环境话题 ①environmental degradation /be degraded(环境退化) ②The extinction rate of species (物种灭绝)    collapse of fish stocks(鱼类储量锐减) ④ecological state of the world(世界生态环境的状态) ⑤threaten(v.)/threats to(威胁)             used unsustainably( 非可持续性利用) ⑦pose serious risks for(构成严重危害) ... . has the potential to greatly enlarge the areas in which... . is a threat( ……极有可能扩大……所产生的威胁) ⑧The range of... . is also likely to increase/decline(……的范围也有可能扩大、缩小) With the increases/decline in... , ...be also predicted(随着……,将会出现……) ...is dramatic, great, surprising, shocking, excessive(过度,极端的)
