Passage 1 There are a number of formats for reporting research, such as articles to appear in journals or reports addressed to funding agencies, theses or dissertations as part of the requirements for university degrees, and papers to be presented at conferences. These formats differ from one another mostly in their purposes and the audiences whom they address. We will now briefly describe them. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? w w w . a i m edu . co m ???????????? www.aimedu.com ????????????????????http://www.aimedu.com ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? w w w . a i m edu . co m ???????????? www.aimedu.com ????????????????????http://www.aimedu.com ★本资料由博宸考博英语辅导整理编辑，更多系统化资料下载及考博英语针对性辅导请登录官方网站 http://www.aimedu.com★ The journal article is a way of reporting research for professional journals or edited collections. The research is reporting In a brief, yet informative way, focusing musty on the main features of the research such as the purpose, review of the literature(often referred to as "background") , procedures used for carrying out the research accompanied by tables, charts, and graphs, and interpretations of the results (often referred to as discussion) . ★本资料由博宸考博英语辅导整 理编辑，更多系统化资料下载及考博英语针对性辅导请登录官方网站 http://www.aimedu.com ★ The content and emphasis of the journal article will vary according to the intended readers (research or practitioners) and it is important for the researcher to be aware of the background and interest of the leaders of the journal. Articles intended to be read by practitioners will emphasize the practical implications and recommendations of the research, while articles intended to be read by researchers will describe in detail die method used to collect data, the construction of data collection procedures, and the techniques used for analyzing the data. It is important for the novice researcher to be aware of the fact that articles submitted to journals go through a process of evaluation by experts who make a judgment and recommend whether they should be published or not. The thesis or dissertation is a format for reporting research which graduate students write as part of fulfilling the requirements for an advanced academic degree. The student is expected to describe in great detail all the phases of the research so it can br examined and evaluated carefully by the reader. Thus the thesis or dissertation includes the purpose and significance of the study, the rationale, a thorough review of the literature, detailed information as to the research tools and the procedures involved in their development, a description of data analysis and the results, and an interpretation of the results in the form of conclusions, implications, and recommendation. This detailed description of the process of the research is needed to provide the professors with an indication of the student's ability to carry out research. The conference paper is a way of reporting research al conferences, seminars and colloquia. At such meetings research papers are usually presented orally. They are similar to the research article since research is reported in a concise, yet informative way, focusing on the most essential elements of the research. Handouts and transparencies can also accompany the presentations. As with the research article, here too, the content and emphasis of the oral report will depend to a large extent on the type of audience present at the meeting, and whether they are researchers or practitioners. 21. The best title for this passage could be . A. Types of Research Reports B. Types of Journal Articles C. Writing of research Reports D. Writing of Different Articles 22. The common aspect for the journal articles, theses and conference papers lies in that . A. they are all for the practitioners B. they are all to be read by researches C. they are all for being published D. they are all forms of reporting research 23.

By noticing the detailed method used to collect the data, the construction of the data collection procedures, the techniques for analyzing the date and results etc. Passage 2 There is extraordinary exposure in the United States to the risks of injury and death from motor vehicle accidents. More than 70 percent of all households own passenger cars or light trucks and each of these is driven an average of more than 11,000 miles each year. Almost one-half of fatally injured drivers have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.1 percent or higher. For the average adult, over five ounces of 80 proof spirits would have to be consumed over a short period of time to attain these levels. A third of drivers, demonstrate these levels. Although less than 1 percent of drivers with BAC of 0.1 percent or more are involved in fatal crashes, the probability of their involvement is 27 times higher than for those without alcohol in their blood. There are a number of different approaches to reducing injuries in which intoxication plays a role. Based on the observation that excessive consumption correlates with the total alcohol consumption of a country's population, it has been suggested that higher taxes on alcohol would reduce both. While the heaviest drinkers would be taxed the most, anyone who drinks at all would be penalized by this approach. To make drinking and driving a criminal offense is an approach directed only at intoxicated drivers. In some states, the law empowers police to request breath tests of drivers cited for any traffic offense and elevated BAC can be basis for arrest. The national Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates, however, that even with increased arrests, there are about 700 violations for every arrest. At this level there is little evidence that laws serve as deterrents to drinking while intoxicated. In Britain, motor vehicle fatalities fell 25 percent immediately following implementation of the Road Safety Act in 1967. As the British increasingly recognized that they could drink and not be stopped, the effectiveness declined, although in the ensuring three years the fatality rate seldom reached that observed in the seven years prior to the Act. ★本资料由博宸考 博英语辅导整理编辑，更多系统化资料下载及考博英语针对性辅导请登录官方网站 http://www.aimedu.com★ Whether penalties for driving with high BAC or excessive taxation on consumption of alcoholic beverages will deter the excessive drinker responsible for most fatalities is unclear.

Therapeutic programs which range from individual and group counseling and psychotherapy to chemotherapy constitute another approach, but they have not diminished the proportion of accidents in which alcohol was a factor. In the few controlled trials that have been reported, there is little evidence that rehabilitation programs for those repeatedly arrested for drunken behavior have reduced either the recidivism or crash rates. Thus far, there is no firm evidence that Alcohol Safety Action Project supported programs, in which rehabilitation measures are requested by the court, have decreased recidivism or crash involvement for clients exposed to them, although knowledge and attitude have improved. One thing is clear, however, unless we deal with automobile and highway safety and reduce accidents in which alcoholic intoxication plays a role, many will continue to die. 26. The author is mainly concentrated with_____. A. interpreting the result of surveys on traffic fatalities B. reviewing the effectiveness of attempts to curb drunk driving C. suggesting reasons for the prevalence of drunk driving in the United States D. analyzing the causes of the large number of annual traffic fatalities 27. It can be inferred that the 1967 Road Safety Act in Britain . A. required drivers convicted under the law to undergo rehabilitation therapy B. made it illegal to drive while intoxicated C. increased the number of drunk driving arrests D. place a tax on the sale of alcoholic drinks 28. The author implies that a BACs of 0.1 percent_____. A. is unreasonably high as a definition of intoxication for purpose of driving B. penalizes the moderate drinker while allowing the heavy drinker to consume without limit C. is well below the BAC of most drivers who are involved in fatal collisions D. proves that a driver has consumed five ounces of 80 proof spirits over a short time 29. The author cites the British example in order to____. A. demonstrate the need to lower BAC levels in State that have laws against drunk driving B. prove that stricter enforcement of law against intoxicated drivers would reduce traffic deaths C. prove that a slight increase in the number arrests of intoxicated drivers will not deter drunk driving D. suggest that taxation of alcohol consumption may be more effective than criminal laws 30. The author's tone of the end of article can be described as _____. A. ironic B. indifferent C. admonitory D. indecisive Passage 3 The word for “The Da Vinci Code” is a rare invertible palindrome. Rotated 180 degrees on a horizontal axis so that it is upside down, it denotes the maternal essence that is sometimes linked to the sport of soccer. Read right side up, it concisely conveys the kind of extreme enthusiasm with which this riddle-filled, code-breaking, exhilaratingly brainy thriller can be recommended. That world is wow. The author is Dan Brown (a name you will want to remember). In this gleefully erudite suspense novel, Mr. Brown takes the format he has been developing through three earlier novels ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? w w w . a i m edu . co m ???????????? www.aimedu.com ????????????????????http://www.aimedu.com ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? w w w . a i m edu . co m ???????????? www.aimedu.com ????????????????????http://www.aimedu.com ★本资料由博宸考博英语辅导整理编辑，更多系统化资料下载及考博英语针对性辅导请登录官方网站 http://www.aimedu.com★ and fine-tunes it to blockbuster perfection. Not since the advent of Harry Potter has an author so flagrantly delighted in leading readers on a breathless chase and coaxing them through hoops. Consider the new book’s prologue, set in the Grand Gallery of the Louvre. (This is the kind of book that notices that this one gallery’s length is three times that of the death. That’s a scene leaving little doubt that the author knows how to pique interest, as the curator, Jacques Sauniere, fights for his life. Desperately seizing the painting in order to activate the museum’s alarm system, Sauiere succeeds in buying some time. And he uses these stolen moments? Which are his last? To take off his clothes, draw a circle and arrange himself like the figure in Leonardo’s most famous drawing. “The Vitruvian Man.” And to leave behind a anagram and Flbonacci’s famous numerical series as clues. ★本资料由博宸考博英语辅导整理编辑，更多系统化资料下载及考博英语针对性辅导 请登录官方网站 http://www.aimedu.com★ Whatever this is about, it is enough to summon Langdon, who by now, he blushes to recall, has been described in an adoring magazine article as “Harrison Ford in Haris tweed.” Langdon’s latest manuscript, which would certainly be controversial,” is definitely germane. Also soon on the scene is the cryptologist Sophie Neveu, a chip off the author’s earlier prototypes: “Unlike the cookie-cutter blondes that adorned Harvard dorm room walls, this woman was healthy with an unembellished beauty and genuineness that radiated a striking personal confidence.” Even if he had not contrived this entire story as a hunt for the Lost Sacred Feminine essence, women in particular woul love Mr. Brown. The book moves at a breakneck pace, with the author seeming thoroughly to enjoy his contrivances. Virtually every chapter ends with a cliffhanger: not easy, considering the amount of plain old taking that gets done. And Sophie and Langdon are sent on the run, the better to chum up a thriller atmosphere. To their credit, they evade their pursuers as ingeniously as they do most everything else. When being followed via a global positioning system, for instance, it is smart to send the sensor flying out a 40-foot window and lead pursuers to think you have done the same. Somehow the book managers to reconcile such derring-do with remarks like, “And did you know that if you divide the number of female bees by the number of male in any beehive in the world, you always get the same number?” “The Da Vinci Code” is breezy enough even to make fun of its characters’ own cleverness. At one point Langdon is asked by his host whether he has hidden a sought-after treasure carefully enough. “Actually,” Langdon says, unable to hide his grin, “that depends on how often you dust under you couch.” 31. Why does the writer use the word “wow” to describe the novel The Da Vinci Code? A. Because the word reads the same backwards. B. Because it is also linked to the sport of football. C. Because the novel is imbued with perplexing enigmas and smartly wrought. D. Because the novel is a bestseller. 32. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true? A. Dan Brown, author of The Da Vinci Code” has published so far four novles. B. The Da Vinci Code begins with a mysterious murder case in the Gallery of Luvre C. In his earlier novels, Dan Brown has created characters like Sophie Neveu. D.
