2008年完形答案

全文首句：在美国，进行有组织的体育运动是一个如此普通的经历，以致于许多青少年都轻视他们了。

三题在一个句子中，读完整句再做题。

题目通常从后往前做。

这一点是特别真实的67孩子们，他们来自于拥有进行组织和68运动项目所需的资源，确保有容易的69参与机会的家庭和社区。

这个句子相对复杂，应该首先进行成分的划分，67题考介词，故67和children都应属于主句中的成分，作状语，communities之后的that引导定语从句，and make sure与前面的have是并列关系。

69题，搭配题，考察动词介词搭配，正确答案access to，这是在05年12月的真题中曾经考察过的搭配，意思是使用。

68题，理解题，通过and得知，68应与organize并列，又因前文提到resources（资源），后方提到programs（项目），结合选项：spread（传播，扩散），speed（加速），spur（马刺），sponsor（赞助），D项符合。

67题，考察介词，分别代入后，A项符合。

五题在一个句子中，读完整句再做题，从后向前。

在低收入家庭和贫穷社区的孩子们70可能轻视有组织的运动，因为他们通常71所需要资源，这些资源将用于支付参与72，设备和交通以参加实践和游戏73他们的社区不具备建造和74运动场地和器械的资源。

目前为止，此句是历年考题当中包含题目最多的句子，请大家耐心。

74题，辨析题，四个词均为-tain的词根变化，其中maintain（维护），contain（包含），sustain（承受），entertain（娱乐），结合原文中and的提示，74应与build有并列的关系，故答案为A项。

73题，连词题，上过课的同学应该非常熟悉这个句子，小技巧可以解决，73之前because 之后，主语they，谓语未知，宾语resources，73之后，主语their communities，谓语do not have，宾语resources，说明什么？经过前后对比，发现两句的结构一致，于是小技巧可用，答案为C项。

00603英语写作2008年10月份

全国2008年10月高等教育自学考试英语写作试题课程代码：00603Ⅰ. Supply the missing paragraph (20 points)The following passage is incomplete with one body paragraph missing. Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided.Different Types of ParentsIt is universally true that all parents in the world love their children. However, as parents’ views of life vary, they love their children in different ways. Generally speaking, in terms of how they treat their children, parents fall into three basic types: autocratic, democratic, and permissive.The autocratic parent’s word is the law. He always sets rules, expecting complete obedience from his children. He assumes that he knows what is best for his children and that they will learn discipline and respect for authority from his orders. He does not realize that he may not know best and that rules without mercy may breed contempt for authority. If the child came home late from a party because a major accident on the highway tied up traffic for miles, this parent would not allow the child to explain his reasons for being late. The child would be immediately punished. This kind of parent probably has good intentions, wanting his ch ild to grow up “right,” but his approach to the task may lead to conflicts.The democratic parent is not so strict. He is willing to discuss rules with his children and listen to their side of an argument. If his child came home an hour late from a party, he would listen to the explanation instead of punishing the child immediately. In general, the democratic parent lays down fewer rules than his autocratic counterpart because he realizes children must learn certain things in life on their own. He prefers to play the role of an advisor and is always available when his children need help.Too few people with children are democratic parents, which is the best of the three types. Too much or too little authority often breeds disrespect and resentment. A good parent should offer guidance and advice; he should not try to rule his children or disregard his children completely. Ⅱ. Write an outline (20 points)Read the following passage carefully and compose a “topic outline” for it.The Human BrainFor centuries, people wondered about how the human brain works. Researchers were particularly concerned about its structure and functions. It was not long ago that scientists made the remarkable discovery that our brains are divided into two halves—left brain and right brain, and that each half has separate features and roles.The left brain is said to be the logical brain. It is the left brain that we use to solve mathematical problems and go think logically. For example, if you are asked how to make coffee, this is what happens. Your left brain begins to work; it searches its files for information on coffee making. If it finds the files, it begins relating what to do step by step. If it does not find any record, it says it does not know.The right brain is often called the creative brain. It has the function of thinking creatively. This contains all the artistic functions, including art and music appreciation. When you want to draw a picture or compose a piece of music or write poetry, it is the right brain that is in operation. When you come across a new situation in your life, your right brain gives ideas on how to tackle it.To some people, the left brain is dominant and to others, the right brain is. Of people who are good in mathematics and language expression—that is, putting into practice what they have learnt, we say that they are more left-brained. They are not very sensitive and believe in doing everything only after reasoning. They are very sharp at arguments. They are the type who will not believe in anything until they see it. Right-brained people are more artistic and have a good sense of music appreciation. They are also more sensitive and tend to be emotional. They are more open to new ideas and are willing to accept radical positions.Is the left brain better or the right brain? Both sides of the brain are equally important. In an ideal situation, a person should be exactly equal in both sides of the brain. However, as in most things, the ideal never happens. People are dominated by one or the other side of their brains. In order to function effectively in the world, we must learn to use both sides of the brain. In many situations that we meet in the world, there will be requirements for both sides of the brain to work together as partners. For example, when you want to write a story, which brain do you use? The answer is both brains. You need the right brain to think of the ideas and you need the left side to arrange everything in a logical sequence. You cannot go through life with only one side functioning.It’s fundamentally important for people to know these interesting facts about the human brains. However, many aspects concerning our brains still remain unknown. With scientists’ persistent efforts, more secrets of the human brain will be revealed.Ⅲ. Compose an essay (60 points)Nowadays, some traditional beliefs and customs tend to be less valued. Choose one such belief or custom and explain why you think it should be continued or maintained. Writea 300-word argumentative essay defending your views.。

TEXT A
READING COMPREHENSION
[30 MIN]
In this section there are four reading passages followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then mark your answers on your colored answer sheet. At the age of 16, Lee Hyuk Joon’s life is a living hell. The South Korean 10th grader gets up at 6 in the morning to go to school, and studies most of the day until returning home at 6 pm. After dinner, it’s time to hit the books again — at one of Seoul’s many so-called cram schools. Lee gets back home at 1 in the morning, sleeps less than five hours, then repeats the routine — five days a week. It’s a grueling schedule, but Lee worries that it may not be good enough to get him into a top university. Some of his classmates study even harder. South Korea’s education system has long been highly competitive. But for Lee and the other 700,000 high-school sophomores in the country, high-school studies have gotten even more intense. That’s because South Korea has conceived a new college-entrance system, which will be implemented in 2008. This year’s 10th graders will be the first group evaluated by the new admissions standard, which places more emphasis on grades in the three years of high school and less on nationwide SAT-style and other selection tests, which have traditionally determined which students go to the elite colleges. The change is made mostly to reduce what the government says is a growing education gap in the country: wealthy students go to the best colleges and get the best jobs, keeping the children of poorer families on the social margins. The aim is to reduce the importance of costly tutors and cram schools, partly to help students enjoy a more normal high-school life. But the new system has had the opposite effect. Before, students didn’t worry too much about their grade-point averages; the big challenge was beating the standardized tests as high-school seniors. Now students are competing against one another over a three-year period, and every midterm and final test is crucial. Fretful parents are relying even more heavily on tutors and cram schools to help their children succeed. Parents and kids have sent thousands of angry online letters to the Education Ministry complaining that the new admissions standard is setting students against each other. “One can succeed only when others fail,” as one parent said. Education experts say that South Korea’s public secondary-school system is foundering, while private education is thriving. According to critics, the country’s high schools are almost uniformly mediocre — the result of an egalitarian government education policy. With the number of elite schools strictly controlled by the government, even the brightest students typically have to settle for ordinary schools in their neighbourhoods, where the curriculum is centred on average students. To make up for the mediocrity, zealous parents send their kids to the expensive cram schools. Students in affluent southern Seoul neighbourhoods complain that the new system will hurt them the most. Nearly all South Korean high schools will be weighted equally in the collegeentrance process, and relatively weak students in provincial schools, who may not score well on standardized tests, often compile good grade-point averages. Some universities, particularly prestigious ones, openly complain that they cannot select the best students under the new system because it eliminates differences among high schools. They’ve asked for more discretion in picking students by giving more weight to such screening tools as essay writing or interviews. 2008-2

2008年10月写作真题

2008年十月全国硕士研究生入学统一考试管理类专业学位联考写作试题四、写作：第56～57小题，共65分。

其中论证有效性分析30分，论说文35分。

56. 论证有效性分析：分析下述论证中存在的缺陷和漏洞，选择若干要点，写一篇600字左右的文章，对该论证的有效性进行分析和评论。

（论证有效性分析的一般要点是：概念特别是核心概念的界定和使用是否准备并前后一致，有无各种明显的逻辑错误，论证的论据是否成立并支持结论，结论成立的条件是否充分等等。

）有人提出，应当把“孝”作为选拔官员的一项标准，理由是，一个没有孝心、连自己父母都不孝顺的人，怎么能忠诚地为国家和社会尽职尽责呢？我不赞同这种观点。

现在已经是21世纪了，我们的思想意识怎么能停留在封建时代呢？选拔官员要考察其“德、勤、能、绩”，我赞同应当把“德”作为首要标准。

然而，对一个官员来说最重要的是公德而不是私德。

“孝”只是一种私德而已。

选拔和评价官员，偏重私德而忽视公德，显然是舍本逐末。

什么是公德？一言以蔽之，就是忠诚职守，在封建社会是忠于君主，现在则是忠于国家。

自古道“忠孝难以两全”。

岳飞抗击金兵，常年征战沙场，未能在母亲膝下尽孝，却成了千古传颂的英雄。

反观《二十四孝》里的那些孝子，有哪个成就了名垂青史的功业？孔繁森撇下老母，远离家乡，公而忘私，殉职边疆，显然未尽孝道，但你能指责他是个不合格的官员吗？俗话说“人无完人”，如果在选拔官员中拘泥于小节而不注意大局，就会把许多胸怀鸿鹄之志的精英拒之门外，而让那些守望燕雀小巢的庸才占据领导岗位。

57. 论说文：根据下述材料，写一篇700字左右的论说文，题目自拟。

南美洲有一种奇特的植物——卷柏。

说它奇特，是因为它会走。

卷柏的生存需要充足的水分，当水分不充足的时候，它就会自己把根从土壤里拔起来，让整个身体缩卷成一个圆球状，只要稍有一点风，它就会随风在地面上滚动。

一旦滚到水分充足的地方圆球就会迅速的打开，根重新钻到土壤里，暂时安居下来。

Floating(10).(A).at the top of (B). on the part of (C). at the foot of (D). on the ground of三、Reading Comprehension（30 points，2 points for each item）1.Many people think New York is a noisy city. In fact,scientists who study noise say that the average noise level in New York is 72. 5 decibels. This is a little louder than normal conversation,which is 65 decibels. The noise level is the result of so many people and cars in the same area.Now even the insides of taxis are noisy. When you get into a taxi,you hear the voice of a wellknown singer,sportsreporter,or Broadway actress giving instructions.That’t right. The voice of a famous person tells you what to do. One popular singer gives this message:“Cats have nine lives,but you have only one,so fasten your seat belt!”Other voices say things such as“Don’t forget to collect all your belongings. ”（People often leave hats,umbrellas,and bags in taxis. ）There is a good reason for the messages. There are more than 12,000 cabs in New York,and every year taxis get into more than 15,000 accidents. In an accident,people who don’t wear seat belts hit the partition,the glass wall separating the driver and passengers in the taxi. They can hurt their foreheads or break their noses or chins. Every year,about 11,000 people are injured in this way.Many people are annoyed by the voices. Cabdrivers in particular dislike the messages. “I play the messages 12 hours a day. I hear the same voices 60 times a day. It makes me crazy,”says Amir,a 45yearold cabdriver. “But if I don’t play the messages,I get fined ＄100. ”A lot of passengers complain,too. “It’s too much noise,”says a passenger. “I asked the driver to turn off the message,but he said he can’t. ”Other people think the voices are a great idea. One taxi driver says,“People like to hear the famous voices,and they put on their seat belts more often. ”And passengers from out of town really like the idea. “Most of the time,taxi driversare in a bad mood,”says Melanie Benton,who visits New York often on business,“It’s nice to hear a cheerful voice when you get in to a cab. ”(1). The sentence“Cats have nine lives,but you have only one”implies that______.(A). human beings have only one life(B). cats live longer than human beings(C). cats will have new lives after they die(D). human beings should value their lives(2).People who are most likely to be injured in a taxi accident are______.(A). those who wear seat belts(B). those who like messages(C). those who do not wear seat belts(D). those who dislike messages(3).It can be inferred from the passage that a taxi driver hears the same voices______every day.(A). about 5 times an hour(B). about 6 times an hour(C). about 50 times an hour(D). about 60 times an hour(4). The cabdrivers play the messages again and again because______.(A). they are willing to do so(B). they do not want to pay a fine(C). the passengers ask them to do so(D). the voice of the messages is cheerful(5). The author of this passage seems to believe that______.(A). New York is the noisiest city in the U. S.(B). messages played by taxi drivers are useless(C). messages in taxis should be voiced by famous people(D). voices from taxis partly caused the high noise level of New York2. Some people might think that Father’s Day was established as a holiday to helpgreeting card com panies sell more cards. However,when Father’s Day was first suggested in the early 1900s,Father’s Day cards hadn’t been invented yet.The idea of celebrating Father’s Day was actually inspired by Mother’s Day. In1909,Mother’s Day was just becoming very popular in the United States. One day,Sonora Dodd,of Spokane,Washington,was listening to a church talk about setting aside a day to honor one’s mother. It gave her the idea to propose a day to honorfathers,and in particular,her own father—William Jackson Smart.Mr. Smart had raised Sonora and her five brothers and sisters all by himself after Sonora’s mother died in childbirth. As an adult,Sonora realized the selflessness her father had shown in raising his children as a single parent. Her father made all the parental sacrifices. In the daughter’s eyes,her father was a courageous,selfless,and loving man.Mrs. Dodd went to her minister and others about having a church service devoted to fathers on June 5,her father’s birthday. That date was too soon for her minister to prepare a service,so he spoke two weeks later on June 19. It took about a year of working with politicians,religious leaders,businessmen and the local Young Men’s Christian Association to bring life to her idea of an annual Father’s Day.Event ually all her hard work paid off. On June 19,1910,the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane,Washington. In 1972 President Richard Nixon established a permanent national celebration of Father’s Day to be held on the third Sunday in June. Since then,fathers have been honored and recognized by their families throughout the U. S. on that date.Father’s Day has become a day to not only honor your father,but all men who act as a father figure. Stepfathers,uncles,grandfathers,and adult male friends are all honored on Father’s Day. It’s also another day for greeting card companies and shop owners to celebrate because sales of the most popular gifts for Dad（shirts,ties,and electric shavers）increase considerably.(1). The passage mainly tells about______.(A). Mrs. Dodd’s love for her father(B). the origin and establishment of Father’s Day(C). the importance of honoring fathers in the U. S.(D). Mrs. Dodd’s contribution to the government decision(2). Mrs. Dodd loved her father because he______.(A). had a large family(B). was a single parent(C). was a respected minister(D). was courageous,selfless and loving(3). In the United States,the first Father’s Day was celebrated nationwide in______.(A). 1972(B). 1910(C). 1909(D). 1900(4). The author of the passage seems to believe that______.(A). stepfathers should not be honored on Father’s Day(B). Father’s Day has nothing to do with Mother’s Day(C). Father’s Day started with Mrs. Dodd’s love for her father(D). card companies should not make money on Fa ther’s Day cards(5). Greeting card companies welcome Father’s Day because______.(A). their sale increases(B). it is a national holiday(C). adult male friends are also honored(D). they can sell ties,shirts and electric shavers3. This green and blue planet spinning in space is under severe stress. If we continue to exploit the planet at the present rate,human and animal life will be threatened. Human pride will be followed by nature’s punishment. To save our earth and ourselves,we need first develop an unbiased understanding of ourselves,natureand life.Everyone understands the meaning of the sentence“Man should respect animal life and nature”. But the exact meaning of man,nature and animal life is not always clear.Many refer to man and animals as if they were essentially different. I consider man to be an animal and only differing in degree and not in kind from other animals.Although I discuss in conventional terms human rights and animal rights as if they were separate,strictlyspeaking,human rights should be considered a branch of animal rights.The word“nature”is one of the most complex words in the language,but it has developed three main areas of meaning. These are,first,the essential quality and character of something（as in human nature,or the nature of wood）;second,the inherent force which influences the world（as in Mother Nature）;third,the entire world itself. The last can be taken to include or to exclude human beings,as the phrase man and the natural world implies.I consider humans to be an integral part of nature, although they are also the beings most capable of interfering with its processes. Unfortunately a central drive of W estern“man”has been to conquer“nature”, as if it were an object separate from him. Hence it has become common to distinguish between what is natural（existing without man’s interference）and artificial（manmade）. In this way, natural growth is opposed to education, civilization to the natural state. For many urban people living permanently among concrete and glass, nature itself has come to mean little more than the countryside. And this notion of opposition is where the seed of potential destruction lies.(1). The word“unbiased”in Line 4 of Para. 1 means ______.(A). unbalanced(B). fair(C). partial(D). unreasonable(2). As for the relationship between man and animals, the author holds that ______.(A). man is a kind of animals(B). man is superior to animals(C). man is the same as animals(D). man and animals are essentially different from each other(3). Th e word“they”in Line 6 of Para. 2 refers to ______.(A). human rights(B). animal rights(C). human beings and animals(D). human rights and animal rights(4). In the author’s opinion, the word“nature”indicates ______.(A). a particular kind of thing(B). the inherent force which influences the world(C). the entire world itself including human beings(D). the essential quality and character of something(5). The very last sentence of the passage implies that ______.(A). urbanization violates the peace of the countryside(B). the people in the cities cannot enjoy the nature’s beauty(C). man cannot destroy nature, as they are different from each other(D). if man goes against nature, the world will probably be destroyed四、Word Spelling（10 points,1 point for two items）1. 使活动，使起作用vt. a_ _ _ _ _ _ _2. 令人厌烦的a. b_ _ _ _ _3. 总结，概述v. s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _4. 争论，辩论n. d_ _ _ _ _5. 相反的a. c_ _ _ _ _ _ _6. 网络；网状物n. n_ _ _ _ _ _7. 明显的a. e_ _ _ _ _ _8. 凋谢，枯萎，退色vi. f_ _ _9. 种族的a. r_ _ _ _ _10. 和谐；协调n. h_ _ _ _ _ _ 11. 满意，满足n. s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _12. 身份；同一n. i_ _ _ _ _ _ _13. 解释，下定义vt. d_ _ _ _ _14. 面试，口试，采访vt. i_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _15. 社会学n. s_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _16. 谦虚的；适中的a. m_ _ _ _ _17. 旅行，行程n. j_ _ _ _ _ _18. 拥有者n. o_ _ _ _19. 描绘，描写，描述vt. p_ _ _ _ _ _20. 拥有，具有vt. p_ _ _ _ _ _五、Word Form（10 points,1 point for each item）1.

Questions 6-10 are based on the following passages.Passage 1Every age, after his own, has gone in search of Shakespeare. The first biography was written in 1709. Now it is a poor year for the Shakespeare business when two or three more do not show up on bookstore shelves. We want to know who he was hoping that the narrative of his life will somehow explain the genius of his writing. But it never does. We find him but who we find only adds to the mystery. How is it that a man without a university education, a glover's son from a small Warwickshire market town, could have written the plays and poems that have spoken to generations of readers and theatergoers?Passage 2Stratford. Shakespeare's hometown, has become an almost sacred place of pilgrimage, with tourists waddling reverently around the spectacularly tasteless cathedral of the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre. An impressionable few of them are even moved to doff their caps or discardtheir ice creams. Shakespeare's familiar high-domed head, an image that is quite possibly not him at all, has adorned everything from TV beer commercials to British currency. He is the presiding genius of the national spirit, a kind of hero in a neck ruff. Without him industries would crash and ideologies crumble. It is even rumored that he also wrote plays.分析： Passage1 对Shakespeare是正面的态度。
