When I applied under Early Decision to the University of Pennsylvania four years ago, I was motivated by two powerful emotions: ambition and fear. The ambition was to fulfill my lifelong expectation of attending an Ivy League school; the fear was that without the advantage offered by Early Decision, I wouldn't make the cut. A Penn admissions officer told me that the previous year they had accepted 45 percent of Early Decision applicants and just 29 percent of total applicants. The implication was clear: applying under Early Decision dramatically improves your chances of acceptance. At Brown University, my other favorite, applying early did not confer any advantage. While Brown was my No. 1 choice, Penn was a close second, and I desperately wanted to make sure I got into one of the two.I applied just before the Nov. 1 deadline, and six weeks later I got my acceptance package. I was thrilled and relieved. While my friends spent winter vacation finishing as many as 18 applications each, I relaxed. On a school trip to France over spring break, I drank wine while everyone else struggled with international calling cards to phone home and find out where they'd been accepted. People cried about getting rejected, or began the difficult and agonizing process of choosing between two or more schools. Strangely, none of this made me feel better about having applied early. It made me feel worse. When a lot of people from my class got into Brown, I wondered if I, too, could have.Penn sent a discombobulating array of material to incoming freshmen over the summer. As the pile of mail mounted, so did my concerns that I had made the wrong choice. I had been to Penn only one day, in October of my senior year. I realize now I did not know nearly enough about myself or the school. Picking classes was far more arcane than I had expected (or than it would have been at a smaller school). And when I got to the campus, I found that fraternities and sororities were a more noticeable and obnoxious presence than the 30 percent student membership had suggested to me.It wasn't long before I knew Penn was not right for me and I looked into transferring. For me, it was about more than just changing schools. I wanted to have the traditional application experience I'd missed out on during my first go-round. The only school on my list that allowed transfers during the second semester of freshman year was Wesleyan, so I waited out the whole year, then applied to Yale, Brown and Wesleyan. I got into Wesleyan. The irony that I could have gotten in sooner, without getting rejected by the other schools, was not lost on me. But I know I made the right decision.To high-school seniors who want to avoid making the same mistake I did, my advice is simple: don't apply under Early Decision unless you are absolutely sure that the school is your first choice. And, just as important, don't let your parents or college-guidance counselor persuadeyou to apply under Early Decision. They may have their own agenda, or at least their own perception of who you are and what you want. As I discovered, no one can really know what you want better than yourself, and even you may need time to figure out what that is.注(1):本文选自Newsweek, 11/18/2002, p62注(2):本文习题命题模仿对象2002年Text 3.1.

考研英语阅读经典试题及答案(11)新东方在线推荐:年考研一次顺利提分课程!!一科不过,全科免费Traditionally, the study of history has had fixed boundaries and focal points —periods, countries, dramatic events, and great leaders. It also has had clear and firm notions of scholarly procedure: how one inquires into a historical problem, how one presents and documents one’s findings, what constitutes admissible and adequate proof.Anyone who has followed recent historical literature can testify to the revolution that is taking place in historical studies. The currently fashionable subjects come directly from the sociology catalog: childhood, work, leisure. The new subjects are accompanied by new methods. Where history once was primarily narrative, it is now entirely analytic. The old questions “What happened?” and “How did it happen?” have given way to the question “Why did it happen?” Prominent among the methods used to answer the question “Why” is psychoanalysis, and its use has given rise to psychohistory.Psychohistory does not merely use psychological explanations in historical contexts. Historians have always used such explanations when they were appropriate and when there was sufficient evidence for them. But this pragmatic use of psychology is not what psychohistorians intend. They are committed, not just to psychology in general, but to Freudianpsychoanalysis. This commitment precludes a commitment to history as historians have always understood it. Psychohistory derives its “facts” not from history, the detailed records of events and their consequences, but from psychoanalysis of the individuals who made history, and deduces its theories not from this or that instance in their lives, but from a view of human nature that transcends history. It denies the basic criterion of historical evidence: that evidence be publicly accessible to, and therefore assessable by, all historians. And it violates the basic tenet of historical method: that historians be alert to the negative instances that would refute their theses. Psychohistorians, convinced of the absolute rightness of their own theories, are also convinced that theirs is the “deepest” explanation of any event, that other explanations fall short of the truth.Psychohistory is not content to violate the discipline of history (in the sense of the proper mode of studying and writing about the past); it also violates the past itself. It denies to the past an integrity and will of its own, in which people acted out of a variety of motives and in which events had a multiplicity of causes and effects. It imposes upon the past the same determinism that it imposes upon the present, thus robbing people and events of their individuality and of their complexity. Instead of respecting the particularity of the past, it assimilates all events, past and present, into a single deterministic schema that is presumed to be true at all times and in all circumstances.1. Which of the following best states the main point of the text?[A] The approach of psychohistorians to historical study is currently in vogue even though it lacks the rigor and verifiability of traditional historical method.[B] Traditional historians can benefit from studying the techniques and findings of psychohistorians.[C] Areas of sociological study such as childhood and work are of little interest to traditional historians.[D] The psychological assessment of an individual’s behavior and attitudes is more informative than the details of his or her daily life.2. The author mentions which of the following as a characteristic of the practice of psychohistorians?[A] The lives of historical figures are presented in episodic rather than narrative form.[B] Archives used by psychohistorians to gather material are not accessible to other scholars.[C] Past and current events are all placed within the same deterministic diagram.[D] Events in the adult life of a historical figure are seen to be more consequential than are those in the childhood of the figure.3. The author of the text suggests that psychohistorians view history primarily as[A] a report of events, causes, and effects that is generally accepted by historians but which is, for the most part, unverifiable.[B] an episodic account that lacks cohesion because records of the role of childhood, work, and leisure in the lives of historical figures are rare.[C] an uncharted sea of seemingly unexplainable events that have meaning only when examined as discrete units.[D] a record the way in which a closed set of immutable psychological laws seems to have shaped events.4. The author of the text puts the word “deepest” (line 14, paragraph 3) in quotation marks most probably in order to[A] signal her reservations about the accuracy of psychohistorians’claims for their work.[B] draw attention to a contradiction in the psychohistorians’method.[C] emphasize the major difference between the traditional historians’method and that of psychohistorians.[D] disassociate her opinion of the psychohistorians’claims from her opinion of their method.5. In presenting her analysis, the author does all of the following EXCEPT.[A] Make general statements without reference to specific examples.[B] Describe some of the criteria employed by traditional historians.[C] Question the adequacy of the psychohistorians’interpretation of events.[D] Point out inconsistencies in the psychohistorians’application of their methods.。

In this week's Nature,a group of zoologists led by Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews in Scotland and Christophe Boesch of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig,Germany,have provided that evidence. They have synthesised the results from seven chimpanzee-research centres scattered across Africa,and shown that chimps can,indeed,do more than just pass on the odd behaviour pattern here and there. Individual groups of chimps exhibit behavioural“complexes'' that are recognisably different from those of other groups,yet seem to have no connection with environmental or genetic differences between the groups. If that is not culture,it is difficult to think what is.The problem that confronted Dr Whiten and Dr Boesch was how to disentangle which of chimpanzees' many behaviour patterns are genetically instinctive,which are learnt by individuals in isolation (and so are not cultural,because not copied from others) and which are culturally transmitted (by animals copying one another)。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练:哲学类(4)Many critics of the current welfare system argue that existing welfare regulations lead to family instability.They believe that those regulations,which exclude most poor husband-and-wife families from Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) assistance grants,contribute to the problem of family dissolution.Thus,they conclude that expanding the set of families that can eligibly get such grants would result in a marked strengthening of the low-income family structure.If all poor families could receive welfare,would the incidence of instability change markedly? The answer to this question depends on the relative importance of three types of potential welfare recipients.The first is the“cheater”—the husband who is reported to have abandoned his family,but in fact disappears only when the social worker is in the neighborhood.The second consists of a loving husband and devoted father who,sensing his own inadequacy as a family supporter,leaves so that his wife and children may enjoy the relative benefit provided by public assistance.There is very little evidence that these two types are significant.The third type is the unhappily married couple,who remain together out of a sense of economic responsibility for their children,because of the high costs of separation,or because of the consumption benefits of marriage.This group is large.The formation,maintenance,and dissolution of the family is in large part a function of the relative balance between the benefits and costs of marriage as seen by the individual members of the marriage.Since the family performs certain functions society regards as vital,a complex network of social and legal process has evolved to reinforce marriage.Much of the variation in marital stability across income classes can be explained by the variation in costs of dissolution imposed by society,such as division of property,and child support.Marital stability is related to the costs of achieving an acceptable agreement on family consumption and production and to the prevailing social price of instability in the marriage partners‘social-economic group.Expected income exerts pressures on family instability by reducing the cost of dissolution.To the extent that welfare is a form of government-subsidized AFDC payments,it reduces the costs of separation and guarantees a minimal standard of living for wife and children.So welfare opportunities are a significant determinant of family instability in poor neighborhoods,but this is not the result of AFDC regulations that exclude most intact families from coverage.Rather,welfare-related instability occurs because public assistance lowers both the benefits of marriage and the costs of its breach by providing a system of government-subsidized payments.1.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?[A] Welfare restrictions do not contribute to low-income family instability.[B] The most significant kind of welfare recipients is not the“cheating”father.[C] The divorce rate is bound to fall when welfare benefits are cut.[D] Government welfare payments lead directly to growing divorce rate.2.The tone of the passage can best be described as____.[A] confident and optimistic[B] scientific and detached[C] discouraged and alarmed[D] polite and sensitive3.All of the following are mentioned by the author as factors tending to sustain a marriage EXCEPT____.[A] the social class of the married couple[B] the cost involved in divorce[C] the loss of property upon divorce[D] the greater consumption possibilities of married people4.With which of the following statements about marriage would the author most likely agree?[A] Marriage is largely shaped by powerful but impersonal economic and social forces.[B] Marriage has a greater value to higher income groups.[C] Society has no interest in encouraging people to remain married to one another.[D] Marriage will gradually give way to other forms of social organization.5.The passage would most likely be found in a____.[A] basic economics text[B] book on the history of welfare[C] religious literature on the importance of marriage[D] scholarly journal devoted to public policy questions参考答案:1.[A] 文章第一段先引出对现行福利政策持批评态度的人的观点,他们认为现行政策引起了家庭的分裂。

2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析2017年考研英语考试已经结束!店铺考研网在考后第一时间为大家提供2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析,更多考研资讯请关注我们网站的更新!2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析大家也做了题,也发现今年题目并没有传说中那么难,四篇阅读理解前面三篇中等,不是很难。

第四篇和法律有关的文章大家觉得有点难度。

我今年也去考试了,这就是我的证据。

但是我的反面抄了一些答案,当然有些监考不让抄答案,我很潦草地抄了一些,想看它的难度和我们平常所学的能否挂钩。

前三篇不难,第四篇难度和法律相关,有点像2013年的地四篇文章。

其实这篇文章我刚才查了一下原版出处是CNN里的,推翻了弗吉尼亚前州长贪污罪,他是无辜的。

都是英国美国文章居多。

美国有三篇文章。

第一篇是美国机场安检特别浪费时间。

今年特点是有七八个自然段,不是往年一样四五个自然段。

第一道题,这是一个力争题,往年考题也这么说,通过所谓关键词定位方法无效,一定要把握主要内容是讲什么。

这是讲我们目前为什么有必要进行严格的安全检查。

因为埃及航空公司受到了恐怖袭击,在地中海上空受到恐怖主义袭击。

所以现在要严格安检。

这道词选解释作用。

第二题是上面哪个能够解释为什么美国机场排队队伍很长很长。

这道题文章里给了好几个解释。

第一个原因是因为我们现在经济比较好,机票比较便宜,所以很多人愿意排队。

大家都愿意坐飞机,不愿意开车、不愿意坐火车。

导致排队队伍很长。

第二个原因是有些人要打包,第三段里说的,包裹需要检查,有些人打了好多包,为了逃避托运费。

导致排队比较长。

还有一个这里所说的安检效率降低。

但是我们按照前面的最重要的原因,还是因为美国政府没有注意到现在出行坐飞机的人增多了,导致速度减慢。

这是我们飞机出行人员增加。

23题是猜词题,我们不管上基础课、强化课还是单向课,有我的模糊阅读班,猜词题不能相信所谓构词法,按照EX这个单词是出去的意思。

这里EX给人错觉是出去的意思,但是根据上下文是希望安检越快越好。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练:教育类(10)There was a time when big-league university presidents really mattered. The New York Times covered their every move. Presidents,the real ones,sought their counsel. For Woodrow Wilson and Dwight Eisenhower,being head of Princeton and Columbia,respectively,was a stepping-stone to the White House. Today,though,the job of college president is less and less removed from that of the Avon lady (except the house calls are made to the doorsteps of wealthy alums)。

Ruth Simmons,the newly installed president of Brown University and the first African American to lead an Ivy League school,is a throwback to the crusading campus leaders of old. She doesn't merely marshal funds; she invests them in the great educational causes of our day. With the more than $300 million she raised as president of Smith College from 1995 to 2001,Simmons established an engineering program (the first at any women's school) and added seminars focused on public speaking to purge the ubiquitous “likes”and “ums”from the campus idiom. At a meeting to discuss the future of Smith's math department,one professor timidly requested two more discussion sections for his course. Her response:“Dream bigger.”Her own dream was born in a sharecropper's shack in East Texas where there was no money for books or toys——she and her 11 siblings each got an apple,an orange and 10 nuts for Christmas. Though she was called on her walk to school,entering the classroom,she says,“was like waking up.”When Simmons won a scholarship to Dillard University,her high school teachers took up a collection so she'd have a coat. She went on to Harvard to earn a Ph.D. in Romance languages.Simmons has made diversity her No. 1 campus crusade. She nearly doubled the enrollment of black freshmen at Smith,largely by traveling to high schools in the nation's poorest ZIP codes to recruit. Concerned with the lives of minority students once they arrive at school,she has fought to ease the racial standoffs that plague so many campuses. At Smith she turned down a request by students to have race-specific dorms. In 1993,while vice provost at Princeton,she wrote a now famous report recommending that the university establish an office of conflict resolution to defuse racial misunderstandings before they boiled over.Her first task at Brown will be to heal one such rupture last spring after the student paper published an incendiary ad by conservative polemicist David Horowitz arguing that blacks economically benefited from slavery. “There's no safe ground for anybody in race relations,but campuses,unlike any other institution in our society,provide the opportunity to cross racial lines,”says Simmons. “And even if you're hurt,you can't walk away. You have to walk overthat line.”注(1):本文选自Time; 9/17/2001,V ol. 158 Issue 12,p70,1p,1c注(2):本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题text 2.1. What does the author intend to illustrate with the example of Woodrow Wilson and Dwight Eisenhower?[A]The president of the first-class university was really very important.[B]The presidents gave them some good advice.[C]The presidents of the university could easily go to the white house.[D]The presidents had more power and authority than Avon ladies.2. What can we infer from the second paragraph?[A]Simmons was an old crusading campus leader.[B]Simmons wanted to expand her university.[C]Simmons knew well about how to invest the money.[D]Simmons was a competent and ambitious president.3. The 4th paragraph mainly talks about _________.[A]Simmons greatly sympathized the black people.[B]Simmons wanted to diversify her university.[C]Simmons made a great effort to solve the racial problems.[D]Simmons never neglect the racial problems.4.

Which of the following is true according to the text?[A]Simmons had successfully solved the racial problems.[B]Simmons owed her success to her high school teachers.[C]Simmons didn't like “likes”and “ums”in campus idioms.[D]Simmons asked her professor to be more ambitious and aggressive.答案:ADCBD。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1First two hours , now three hours—this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight , at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines.Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security procedures in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804,which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea ,provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans’ economic and private lives, not to mention infuriating.Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons---both fake and real—past airport security nearly every time they tried .Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving Chicago’s O’Hare International .It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become—but the lines areobvious.Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel , so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes. Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoid checked-baggage fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this.There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass a background check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes. This allows the TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck.It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock. Passengers must pay $85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck’s fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing so directly, by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways.The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work.21. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned to______.[A] stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide[B] explain American’s tolerance of current security checks[C] highlight the necessity of upgrading major U.S. Airports[D] emphasize the importance of privacy protection【答案】B【解析】答案为B。

2017考研英语一阅读答案

2017考研英语一阅读答案

2017考研英语一阅读答案答案:21-25 ACDDC21. 答案【A】explain American’s tolerance of current security checks.解析:本题目为例证题,考察论点与论据。

根据题干关键词the crash of Egypt Air Flight 804定位到第二段第二句。

例证题中的例子为论据,所要找的答案为论点,而论点在论据之前,因此该题目的答案是第二段的第一句话。

二段首句说的是美国人愿意忍受长时间的安全检查。

正确答案A的American’s tolerance是原文Americans are willing to tolerate的原词复现,current security checks是原文的time-consuming security 的同义转化。

干扰项B的urgency to strengthen security worldwide,原文未提及worldwide,属于扩大范围;选项C的major U.S. major airports属于具体信息的干扰;选项D的privacy 隐私并未提及,是常识性干扰。

22. 答案【C】An increase in the number of travelers.解析:本题目为原因细节题。

根据题干中的long waits at major airports定位到原文第三段的第二句,原文的resulted in 与题干中的contributed to是同义转化,所以定位内容就是提升的安全措施以及航空旅游的增加。

正确答案C的an increase in the number of travelers 是原文a rise in airline travel的同义替换。

干扰项A的carry-on bags是在第四段的最后一句出现的,非定位句内容;选项B的TSA efficiency也出现在第四段;选项D的unexpected secret checks未提及。

Text 1A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys. People art actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people's cortisol , which is it at stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske,In fact women say they feel better a t work. She notes. “it is men not women. Who report being happier at home than at work,” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they' re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women, it' s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it's not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing: working, making money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they' re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they' re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.21.According to Paragraph 1,most previous surveys found that home ______.[A]was an unrealistic place for relaxation[B]generated more stress than the workplace[C]was an ideal place for stress measurement[D]offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?[A]Working mothers[B]Childless husbands[C] Childless wives[D]Working fathers23 The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact that ______.[A]they are both bread winners and housewives[B]their home is also a place for kicking back[C]there is often much housework left behind[D]it is difficult for them to leave their office24.The word“moola”(Line 4,Para 4)most probably means ______.[A]energy[B]skills[C]earnings[D]nutrition25.The home front differs from the workplace in that ______.[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C]household tasks are generally more motivating[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded【参考答案】21.

【2017暑期版】每日一道高考题:阅读理解D篇(含答案和解析)Genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains.所谓天才就是不断地承受痛苦。

答题时间:2017高考英语真题北京卷(阅读理解D篇)Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics(控制论), put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpo se which we really desire.”A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve itsown existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformationof these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.67.

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的17年专八英语考试阅读理解备考训练试题及拓展解析,希望对正在关注的您有所帮助!The Only Way to Travel is on Foot精读原文:The past ages of man have all been carefully labeledby anthropologists. Descriptions like 'PalaeolithicMan', 'Neolithic Man', etc., neatly sum up wholeperiods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentiethcentury, they will surely choose the label'Legless Man'. Histories of the time will go somethinglike this: 'in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women movedabout in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all largebuildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of thattime because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs evenwhen they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of everyhuge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks.'The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In ourhurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel givesyou a bird's-eye view of the world – or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get inyour way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantlysmears thewindows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go onand on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for seatravel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: 'Ijoined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.' The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says 'I've been there.'You mention the remotest, mostevocative place-names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say'I've been there'–meaning, 'I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhereelse. ' When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the futurebecause you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. Butactual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling likethis, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well bedead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him travelingand arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. Heexperiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the endof his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleepwill be his: the just reward of all true travellers.【阅读练习题】1、Anthorpologists label nowaday's men 'Legless' becauseA people forget how to use his legs.B people prefer cars, buses and trains.C lifts and escalators prevent people from walking.D there are a lot of transportation devices.2、Travelling at high speed meansA people's focus on the future.B a pleasure.C satisfying drivers' great thrill.D a necessity of life.3、Why does the author say 'we are deprived of the use of our eyes' ?A People won't use their eyes.B In traveling at high speed, eyes become useless.C People can't see anything on his way of travel.D People want to sleep during travelling.4、What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A Legs become weaker.B Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.C There is no need to use eyes.D The best way to travel is on foot.5.

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练:法学类(11)Since 1975 advocates of humane treatment of animals have broadened their goals to oppose the use of animals for fur,leather,wool and food.They have moaned protests against all forms of hunting and the trapping of animals in the wild.And they have joined environmentalists in urging protection of natural habitats from commercial or residential development.The occasion for these added emphases was the publication in 1975 of Animal Liberation:A New Ethics for Our Treatment ofAnimals by Peter Singer,formerly a professor ofphUosophy at Oxford University in England.This book gave a new impetus to the animal rights movement.The post 1 975 animal rights activists are far more vocal than theirpredecessors,and the organizations to which they belong are generally more radical.Many new organizations are formed.The tactics of the activists are designed to catch the attention of the public.Since the mid 1 980s there have been frequent newsreports about animal rights organizations picketing stores that sell furs,harassing hunters in the wild,or breaking into laboratories to free animals.Some of the more extreme organizations advocate the use of assault,armed terrorism,and death threats to make their point.Aside from making isolated attacks on people who wear fur coats or trying to prevent hunters from killing animals,most of the organizations have directed their tactics at institutions.The results of the protests and other tactics have been panies are reducing reliance on animal testing.Medical research has been somewhat curtailed by legal restrictions and the reluctance of younger workers to use animals in research.New tests have been developed to replace the use of animals.Some well—known designers have stopped using fur.While the general public tends to agree that animals should be treated humanely,most people are unlikely to give up eating meat or wearing goods made from leather and wool. Giving up genuine fur has become less of a problem,since fibers used to makefake fur such as the Japanese invention Kanecaron can look almost identical to real fur.Some of the strongest opposition to the animal rights movement has come from hunters and their organizations.But animal rights activists have succeeded in marshaling public opinion to press for state restrictions on hunting in several parts of the nation.1.1 975 was an important year in the history of animal treatment because[A]many people began to call for humane treatment of animals that year[B]a new book was published that broadened the animal rights movement[C]the environmentalists began to show interest in animal protection[D]the trapping of animals began to go wild all through the world2.Some animal rights organizations advocate the use of extreme means in order to[A]wipe out cruel people [B]stop using animals in the laboratory[C]attack hunters in the wild [D]catch full public attention3.By saying“the results ofthe protests and other tactics have been mixed”(Line 1,Para.3),the author means[A]the protest and other tactics have produced desired effects[B]the protest and other tactics almost amounted to nothing[C]the protest and other tactics have some influence on the public[D]the protest and other tactics have proved to be too radical4.The word“marshaling”(Line 5,Para.4)probably means[A]conducting [B]popularizing [C]changing [D]outraging5.It seems that the author ofthis article[A]is strongly opposed to the animal rights movement[B]is in favor ofthe animal rights movement[C]supports the use of violence in animal protection[D]hatestheuse offakefurfor clothes核心词汇advocate n.提倡者philosophy n.哲学predecessor n.前辈tactics n.策略identical adj.同样的oppose vt.反对impetus.促进radicaladj.激进的reliance n.依赖publication .出版vocaladj.有声的assault n.攻击fake adj.假的号召人道对待动物的倡导者们从1975年起将自己的目标扩大到反对利用动物来获取毛皮、皮革、毛织品和食品的行为。

2017考研英语暑期阅读训练:历史类(16)Half the game is 90 percent mental,“Yogi Berra once said,or something like that,and science is now getting around to putting his aphorism to the test. Researchers including Debbie Crews of Arizona State University and John Milton of the University of Chicago have been studying patterns of brain activation——not in baseball players but in golfers,who make better subjects because they don't move around as much and the electrodes stay stuck to their heads. Yogi might have been surprised by the researchers' conclusion,though:the better the golfer,the less brain activity he shows in the seconds before he makes his shot.Crews,a sports psychologist who studies putting——even the minimal agitation of a chip shot can upset her experimental apparatus——has found that a key difference between amateurs and pros lies in the left hemisphere. This is the seat of logic,analysis,verbal reasoning and the kinds of thoughts——Maybe I should just kind of squinch over a little more to the left——that you never imagine crossing Tiger Woods's mind. Professionals,once they've determined how to make a shot,follow an invariable routine that renders conscious thought unnecessary. “How you think is probably more important than what you think,”Crews says. “Quieting the left hemisphere is really critical.”Or,to put it another way,when Milton asked some LPGA golfers what they thought about just before taking a shot,they answered:nothing. To test this,he rounded up a half-dozen pros and an equal number of amateurs and had them imagine making a specific shot——a wedge shot of 100 yards to the green,with no wind——while monitoring their brains in a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine. “The professionals are just much more specialized and efficient,”Milton says. “You put in a quarter and you get your shot.”The amateurs,by contrast,showed more total brain activation,involving more areas of the brain. In particular,amateurs activated the basal ganglia——involved in learning motor functions——and the basal forebrain and amygdala,responsible for,among other functions,emotions. “They're not fearful or anxious,”Milton says,“but they get overwhelmed by details,by the memories of all the shots they've missed in the past.”Some of his subjects worried about hitting the ball into the water,which was curious,because he hadn't even mentioned a water hazard in describing the imaginary shot to them.Professional athletes,as a rule,know how to keep focus,although there are exceptions,like Chuck Knoblauch,the Yankee second baseman who suddenly lost the ability to make a routine throw to first base. Milton is already trying to apply these lessons to stroke and other rehabilitation patients who have to relearn skills like walking; he recommends putting more emphasis on visualization and improving mental focus. In many aspects of life,it seems,half the game really is 90 percent mental.注(1):本文选自Newsweek; 6/2/2003,p14;注(2):本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题Text 4(个别题目顺序加以调整);1. The views of Yogi Berra and researchers including Crews and Milton are ________.[A]similar[B]identical[C]opposite[D]complementary2.

Hidden valley looks a lot like the dozens of other camps that dot the woods of central Maine. There's a lake,some soccer fields and horses. But the campers make the difference. They're all American parents who have adopted kids from China. They're at Hidden Valley to find bridges from their children's old worlds to the new. Diana Becker of Montville,Maine,watches her 3-year-old daughter Mika dance to a Chinese version of “Twinkle,Twinkle Little Star.”“Her soul is Chinese,”she says,“but really she's growing up American.”Hidden Valley and a handful of other “culture camps”serving families with children from overseas reflect the huge rise in the number of foreign adoptions,from 7,093 in 1990 to 15,774 last year. Most children come from Russia (4,491last year) and China (4,206) but there are also thousands of others adopted annually from South America,Asia and Eastern Europe. After cutting through what can be miles of red tape,parents often come home to find a new dilemma. “At first you think,'I need a child',”says Sandy Lachter of Washington,D.C.,who with her husband,Steve,adopted Amelia,5,from China in 1995. “Then you think,'What does the child need?' ”The culture camps give families a place to find answers to those kinds of questions. Most grew out of local support groups; Hidden Valley was started last year by the Boston chapter of Families with Children from China,which includes 650 families. While parents address weighty issues like how to raise kids in a mixed-race family,their children just have fun riding horses,singing Chinese songs or making scallion pancakes. “My philosophy of camping is that they could be doing anything,as long as they see other Chinese kids with white parents,”says the director,Peter Kassen,whose adopted daughters Hope and Lily are 6 and 4.The camp is a continuation of language and dance classes many of the kids attend during the year. “When we rented out a theater for 'Mulan,' it was packed,”says Stephen Chen of Boston,whose adopted daughter Lindsay is 4. Classes in Chinese language,art and calligraphy are taught by experts,like Renne Lu of the Greater Boston Chinese Cultural Center. “Our mission is to preserve the heritage,”Lu says.Kids who are veteran campers say the experience helps them understand their complex heritage. Sixteen-year-old Alex was born in India and adopted by Kathy and David Brinton of Boulder,Colo.,when he was 7. “I went through a stage where I hated India,hated everything about it,”he says. “You just couldn't mention India to me.”But after six sessions at the East India Colorado Heritage Camp,held at Snow Mountain Ranch in Estes Park,Colo.,he hopes to travel to India after he graduates from high school next year.Camp can be a learning experience for the whole family. Whitney Ning,23,a counselor for four years,says the Korea Heritage Camp helped her become closer to her parents. “They were hesitant at first,”she says,“but when they saw how much it meant to me,they became very supportive.”Sometimes the most direct route around the world is across a campfire.注(1):本文选自Newsweek; 10/04/99,p75;注(2):本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题Text 1;1. Why American parents come to Hidden Valley?[A]It has a large gathering of adopted children.[B]Parents want to find a place to exchange their ideas.[C]It helps children adapt to the new culture well.[D]It is a very good place for relaxation.2. Which of the following is not the advantage of the culture camp?[A]It well reflects the increasing foreign adoptions.[B]Parents can find the answers to their questions in raising the adopted children.[C]Children can learn a lot in culture camp.[D]It helps the adopted children have a better understanding of their complex heritage.3. The expression “miles of red tape”(Line 5,Paragraph 2) most probably means _________.[A]a number of choices[B]many hard journeys[C]a lot of difficulties[D]most troublesome procedures4. What is Alex‘s attitude toward India now?[A]Strong disapproval.[B]Reserved consent.[C]Slight contempt[D]Enthusiastic support5. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A]Foreign adoption is a common phenomenon in America.[B]Children can do whatever they want to do in the culture camp.[C]Both parents and their adopted children can benefit from the culture camp.[D]Children can receive best education in the culture camp.答案:CADBC。

考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案:历史学类(16套)

考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案:历史学类(16套)The establishment of the Third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The compete destruction of democracy, the persecution of Jews, the war on religion, the cruelty and barbarism of the Nazis, and especially the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against Hitler‘s atrocities, the American people generally favored isolationist policies and neutrality. The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the President was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion.American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt‘s “quarantine the aggressor” speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler’s policies. Germany‘s seizure of Austria and the Munich Pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938) also aroused the American people. The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March, 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the Third Reich. In August,1939 came the shock of the Nazi-soviet Pact and in September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European war. The United States attempted to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democracies arrayed against the Third Reich. The Neutrality Act of 1939 repealed the arms embargo and permitted “cash and carry” exports of arms to belligerent nations. A strong national defense program was begun. A draft act was passed (1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend Act (1941) authorized the President to sell, exchange, or lend materials to any country deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain by exchanging certain overage destroyers for the right to establish American bases in British territory in the Western Hemisphere. In August, 1940 President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war. In December, 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor. Immediately thereafter, Germany declared war on the United States.1.One item occurring before 1937 that the author does not mention in his list of actions that alienated the American public was[A] the burning of the Reichstag.[B] German plans for conquest.[C] Nazi barbarism.[D] the persecution of religious groups.2.The Lend-Lease Act was designed to[A] help the British.[B] strengthen the national defense of the United States.[C] promote the Atlantic Charter.[D] avenge Pearl Harbor.3.American Policy during the years 1935-1936 may be described as being[A] watchful.[B] isolationist.[C] peaceful.[D] indifferent.4.The Neutrality Act of 1939[A] permitted the selling of arms to belligerent nations.[B] antagonized Japan.[C] permitted the British to trade only with the Allies.[D] led to Lend-Lease Act.5.We entered the war against Germany[A] because Germany declared war.[B] because Japan was an ally of Germany.[C] after Germany had signed the Nazi-soviet Pact.[D] after peaceful efforts had failed.写作方法与文章大意文章讲述了第三帝国成立,美国由中立到宣战的一段历史。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练:法学类(6)For hundreds of years,the criminal law has been built around the idea that wrongdoers must be punished for their crimes.The most basic argument for punishment is that it preserves law and order and respects for authority.From this point of view,punishment does two things.It upholds the law,and it prevents others from thinking they can get away with doing the same thing without punishment.Punishment is based on the idea that many people have a barely controlled desire to act in forbidden ways.One of the best ways to reduce crime is to reform or rehabilitate habitual criminals.The main problem is not the first offender or the petty thief but the repeated offender who commits increasingly serious crimes.According to criminologists,crime would decrease greatly if all such offenders could be turned away from wrongdoing.But U.S.prisons have had little success in rehabilitating inmates.About two-thirds of the people arrested in any year have a previous criminal record.Rehabilitation of criminals could probably be improved greatly if experts could provide the right kind of program for different types of offenders.Criminals vary widely in the kinds of crimes they commit,their emotional problems,and their social and economic backgrounds.Not all offenders can be helped by the same treatment.Many require the aid of physicians,psychiatrists,or psychologists.Others respond well to educational or vocational training.In the early 1990s,there were about 1,300,000 criminals in U.S.city,county,state,and federal correctional institutions,and about 500,000 more were out on parole.Society spent more than $15 billion to operate prisons and related institutions yearly,but only a small part of this sum went to provide treatment.Nearly all the funds were used to feed and clothe prisoners and to keep them under control.Since the 1ate 1970s,however,there has been a trend toward punishment rather than rehabilitation of offenders.Prison sentences are longer.Capital punishments have been used more frequently since the U.S.Supreme Court lifted a death penalty ban in 1976.Nevertheless,crime prevention should aim to prevent people from becoming criminals in the first place.Such a goal probably would benefit from reform programs in urban slums.These programs would include improved housing,schools,and recreation programs and increased job opportunities.There are many other ways to reduce crime.People can be educated or persuaded to take greater precautions against crime.They can be taught,for example,how to protect their homes from burglary.Automobile thefts would drop sharply if drivers removed their keys and locked their cars when leaving them.Better lighting helps discourage purse-snatchings and other robberies on city streets and in parks.Many experts believe that strict gun-licensing laws would greatly reduce crime.1.The belief that people tend to behave in forbidden ways____.[A] leads to the formulation of the criminal law[B] makes people value order above all else[C] convinces people that crimes should be eliminated from the society[D]is a false one that should not be taken seriously2.In the second paragraph the author implies____.[A] the U.S.prison system is not working effectively enough to reform criminals[B] the best way to reduce crime rate is to rehabilitate habitual criminals[C] reforming criminals in prison will turn them away from wrongdoing[D] crimes would decrease if people‘s desire could be healthily channeled3.The author speculates that rehabilitation can be made more effective if____.[A] reform is directed to the criminals‘emotional problems[B] rehabilitation is aimed at changing the economic and social environment[C] rehabilitation is facilitated by physicians,psychiatrists or psychologists[D] crimes are dealt with in the ways that suit each kind4.According to the author,punishment is a better means than rehabilitation in reducing crime rate____.[A] so it should be used in place of rehabilitation[B] so stricter sentences are absolutely necessary[C] yet it does not work well in many cases[D] but preventing crime is even more effective5. The author concludes the passage by pointing out that____.[A] the present gun-licensing laws are held responsible for most of the crimes[B] educational failure accounts for most of the present offences[C] more help should be provided for released criminals[D] the long-term reduction of crime rate depends on multiple improvements参考答案:1.[A]意为:导致刑法的制定。

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(十一)及答案:法学类

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(十一)及答案:法学类

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(十一)及答案:法学类 By almost every measure , Paul Pfingst is an unsentimental prosecutor. Last week the San Diego County district attorney said he fully intends to try suspect Charles Andrew Williams , 15, as an adult for the Santana High School shootings. Even before the tragedy , Pfingst had stood behind the controversial California law that mandates treating murder suspects as young as 14 as adults.So nobody would have wagered that Pfingst would also be the first D.A. in the U.S. to launch his very own Innocence Project. Yet last June , Pfingst told hisattorneys to go back over old murder and rape convictions and see if any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools. In other words , he wanted to revisit past victories ——this time playing for the other team. “I think people misunderstand being conservative for being biased ,” says Pfingst. “I consider myself a pragmatic guy , and I have no interest in putting innocent people in jail.”Around the U.S., flabbergasted defense attorneys and their jailed clients cheered his move. Among prosecutors , however , there was an awkward pause. After all , each DNA test costs as much as $5,000. Then there's the unspoken risk : if dozens of innocents turn up , the D.A. will have indicted his shop.But nine months later , no budgets have been busted or prosecutors ousted. Only the rare case merits review. Pfingst's team considers convictions before 1993, when the city started routine DNA testing. They discard cases if the defendant hasbeen released. Of the 560 remaining files , they have re-examined 200, looking for cases with biological evidence and defendants who still claim innocence.They have identified three so far. The most compelling involves a man serving 12 years for molesting a girl who was playing in his apartment. But others were there at the time. Police found a small drop of saliva on the victim's shirt ——too small a sample to test in 1991. Today that spot could free a man. Test results are due any day. Inspired by San Diego , 10 other counties in the U.S. are starting DNA audits.注(1)本文选自Time; 03/19/2001, Vol. 157 Issue 11, p62, 1p , 2c , 3bw 注(2)本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题text 1.1.

Imagine asking a presidential candidate to sit down for a sensitivity session on gay and lesbian issues. That's exactly what we did last week in Austin,Texas. George W. Bush invited us,a dozen gay Republicans,after he'd refused to meet with a gay Republican group that had criticized him. Our meeting set an important precedent:never again will a major-party candidate be able to run for president without addressing gay and lesbian issues.Bush didn't like everything we had to say. I was struck by his lack of familiarity with the issues,as well as by his desire to learn. I described how my partner,Rob Morris,and I have been in a 17-year relationship. We both come from healthy,strong,religious families. Rob grew up in a conservative Republican family in Georgia; I come from a longtime Republican family in Wisconsin. I'm now the vice president of my Lutheran church. I wanted Governor Bush to understand that long-term,loving relationships,stable families,strong faith-based traditions and Republican voting histories are all part of the gay and lesbian community.Our stories had an impact. Bush admitted that,growing up in Texas,he had not been as open to elements of America's diverse culture. He had a narrow set of friends and a firm set of traditions. But he was surprised and dismayed to hear that people saw him as intolerant. “What have I said that sent that signal?”he asked repeatedly. We confronted him about his reported statement that if you were openly gay or lesbian you would not be considered for a job in his administration. “I never said that,”he insisted,assuring us he would hire gays and lesbians who both were qualified and shared his political views.Our perspective was clearly eye-opening to him. When one of us talked about his lesbian sister and her partner adopting children,the governor acknowledged his often-stated belief that gays should not adopt. “Now you're telling me of a very loving,caring relationship,”he said. “I really appreciate hearing that.”We stressed that a Bush administration could not roll back any of the progress made in recent years. We talked about AIDS funding and research. Though Bush was attentive——and does show a willingness to hear all sides——I don't think we changed his positions. He still opposes gay marriage and classifying crimes against gays as hate crimes. To be honest,Bush still has a long way to go. But I think he's a lot farther along today than he was last week.注(1):本文选自Newsweek,04/24/2000,p43注(2):本文习题命题模仿对象2003年真题Text 41.
