And new research suggests that happiness might influence__1__firm’s work, too.Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a recent research paper.__2__, firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and development). That’s because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking__3__for making investments for the future.The researchers wanted to know if the__4__and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would__5__the way companies invested.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers —but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but “we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,”said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the “Ruby on Rails”language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn —how to think logically through a problem andorganize the results —apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers —in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes —for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want —the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that —the better.21. Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to____.A. complete future job trainingB. remodel the way of thinkingC. formulate logical hypothesesD. perfect artwork production22. In delivering lessons for high-schoolers, Flatiron has considered their____.A. experienceB. academic backgroundsC. career prospectsD. interest23. Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will____.A. help students learn other computer languagesB. have to be upgraded when new technologies comeC. need improving when students look for jobsD. enable students to make big quick money24. According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to____.A. compete with a future army of programmersB. stay longer in the information technology industryC. become better prepared for the digitalized worldD. bring forth innovative computer technologies25. The word “coax”(Line4, Para.6) is closest in meaning to____.A. challengeB. persuadeC. frightenD. misguideText 2Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickens---a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands—once lent red to the often gray landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species’historic range.The crash was a major reason the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)decided to formally list the bird as threatened. “The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation,”said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as “endangered,” a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats. But Ashe and others argued that the“threatened”tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservations approaches. In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken’s habitat.Under the plan, for example, the agency said it would not prosecute landowner or businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a range—wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated by USFWS and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with 2 new acres of suitable habitat. The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat, USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next 10 years. And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let “states”remain in the driver’s seat for managing the species，”Ashe said.Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and threeenvironmental groups are challenging it in federal court Not surprisingly, doesn’t go far enough “The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction,”says biologist Jay Lininger.26. The major reason for listing the lesser prairie as threatened is____[A]its drastically decreased population[B]the underestimate of the grassland acreage[C]a desperate appeal from some biologists[D]the insistence of private landowners27.The “threatened”tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it_____[A]was a give-in to governmental pressure[B]would involve fewer agencies in action[C]granted less federal regulatory power[D]went against conservation policies28.It can be learned from Paragraph3 that unintentional harm-doers will not be prosecuted if they_____[A]agree to pay a sum for compensation[B]volunteer to set up an equally big habitat[C]offer to support the WAFWA monitoring job[D]promise to raise funds for USFWS operations29.According to Ashe，the leading role in managing the species in______[A]the federal government[B]the wildlife agencies[C]the landowners[D]the states30.Jay Lininger would most likely support_______[A]industry groups[B]the win-win rhetoric[C]environmental groups[D]the plan under challengeText 3That everyone’s too busy these days is a cliché. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully：There’s never any time to read.What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient. The web’s full of articles offering tips on making time to read: “Give up TV”or “Carry a book with you at all times”But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning-or else you’re so exhausted that achallenging book’s the last thing you need. The modern mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, “is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication…It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption”. Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.In fact, “becoming more efficient”is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you’ll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. “The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,”writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes)as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them”. No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time’s flow”into “soul time”. You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a book with you at all times”can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you’re “making time to read,”but just reading, and making time for everything else.31. The usual time-management techniques don’t work because[A] what they can offer does not ease the modern mind[B] what challenging books demand is repetitive reading[C] what people often forget is carrying a book with them[D] what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed32. The “empty bottles”metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to[A] update their to-do lists[B] make passing time fulfilling[C] carry their plans through[D] pursue carefree reading33. Eberle would agree that scheduling regular times for reading helps[A] encourage the efficiency mind-set[B] develop online reading habits[C] promote ritualistic reading[D] achieve immersive reading34. “Carry a book with you at all times”can work if[A] reading becomes your primary business of the day[B] all the daily business has been promptly dealt with[C] you are able to drop back to business after reading[D] time can be evenly split for reading and business35. The best title for this text could be[A] How to Enjoy Easy Reading[B] How to Find Time to Read[C] How to Set Reading Goals[D] How to Read ExtensivelyText 4Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure, younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success, a latest poll has found.Across generational lines, Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work, to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs, to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life, to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children, and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home, the survey found.From career to community and family, these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life, from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.Young and old converge on one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those “just getting started in life”face a tougher a good-paying job, starting a family, managing debt, and finding affordable housing.Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today. Schneider, a 27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadily, he said.”I can’t afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen.”Looking back, he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was young. “I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn’thave college degrees,”Schneider said. “I don’t think people are capable of that anymore.”36. One cross-generation mark of a successful life is_____.[A] trying out different lifestyles[B] having a family with children[C] working beyond retirement age[D] setting up a profitable business37. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that young people tend to ____.[A] favor a slower life pace[B] hold an occupation longer[C] attach importance to pre-marital finance[D] give priority to childcare outside the home38. The priorities and expectations defined by the young will ____.[A] become increasingly clear[B] focus on materialistic issues[C] depend largely on political preferences[D] reach almost all aspects of American life39. Both young and old agree that ____.[A] good-paying jobs are less available[B] the old made more life achievements[C] housing loans today are easy to obtain[D] getting established is harder for the young40. Which of the following is true about Schneider?[A] He found a dream job after graduating from college.[B] His parents believe working steadily is a must for success.[C] His parents’good life has little to do with a college degree.[D] He thinks his job as a technician quite challenging.2015年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语二真题考生注意事项：1 考生必须严格遵守各项考场规则。

Liz PayneBThe freezing Northeast hasn‟t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitam in C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers‟ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I‟ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they‟re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncerta inty, on one particular table at the Brown‟s Grove Farm‟s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn‟t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown‟s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I‟d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author‟s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer‟s market.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Eat in a restaurant.B. Check into a hotel.C. Go to a farm.D. Buy fresh vegetables.CSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist‟s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Dali‟s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the beat TV programmes.30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Donations.B. Projects.C. Artworks.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the caféLa Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psycholog ist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France‟s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn‟t always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论)，slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say …one feels,‟ or …people think‟,”Lehanne told them. “Say …I think,‟ …Think me‟.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn‟t s eem more un-French. But Lehanne‟s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It‟s trying to help the city‟s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation‟s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city‟s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne‟s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There‟s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends.And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she‟d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn‟t exist,” she says. “If life weren‟t a battle, people wouldn‟t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn‟t be France.32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They have bigger night crowds.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They are less frequently visited.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Save the cafe business.B. Supply better drinks.C. Create more jobs.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend.

考研英语二阅读理解有哪些解题技巧

考研英语二阅读理解有哪些解题技巧1、操练研究真题按正常的复习进度，现阶段应该是做了八九套真题，接下来的时间内应该是对真题的回顾，主要工作是整理分析错题原因，让自己真正把握住出题人的思路，真题的价值很大，需要我们去仔细琢磨。

如果还没有做更多套题目，那接下来时间得需要在阅读上卡时间做真题，做完后去仔细分析题目。

2、分析每种类型题目的解题方法不管题目类型什么样，总体的思路就是从题干去原文中定位，定位准确后分析所在句子，再和选项一一对应。

说起来是这一套，但实际上是需要大家从做题过程中把握的。

广泛的细节题关键就是定位准;态度题需要把握谁的态度、态度是什么、对于什么的态度;例证题不要关注例子本身而是例子前后的观点句;主题题需要把握文章主体词，并不是看选项反映的细节部分。

3、重视单词的记忆单词记忆应该贯穿到整个考研结束，大家可以放到真题中结合语境去记忆，也可以按习惯去背诵单词书，如果时间不够，可以每天哪怕花十分钟去记忆，因为每个题型有时候都会由于关键词的障碍而做不出来题。

所以单词记忆是个细水长流的工程。

4、重方法技巧在做题的时候要遵循技巧，规定在10分钟左右完成一篇，做完后再进行题目分析，文章分析，单词整理。

一、文章主旨文章主旨考查的是考生对中心思想的理解，考查内容可分为对文章中心和段落中心的考查。

由考研文章本身的特点所决定，其难度不高，但解答的正确与否却相当关键，直接决定着本篇文章其他试题的解答。

Now tele-shopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.Tele-shopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made ＄100 million. In France there are two tele-shopping channels, and the French spend about ＄20 million a year to buy things through those channels.In Germany, until last year tele-shopping was only possible on one channel for 1 hour every day. Then the government allowed (允许) more tele-shopping. Other channels can open for tele-business, including(包括) the largest American tele-shopping company and a 24－hour tele-shopping company. German businesses are hoping this new tele-shopping will help them sell more things.Some people like tele-shopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in the cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of shopping. They call tele-shopping “junk (垃圾)on the air”. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality (质量) of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they believe they cannot be sure about the quality of the things on TV.The need for high quality means that European tele-shopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.( ) 1. Tele-shopping is _____in Europe.A. not popularB. growingC. not possibleD. cheap( ) 2. People like tele-shopping because it is _____.A. AmericanB. cheaperC. easierD. more popular( ) 3. Some Europeans don't like tele-shopping because they _____ .A. don't like to buy thingsB. think the things sold on TV are bad qualityC. believe the things sold on TV are expensiveD. don't watch TV( ) 4. In Germany, tele-shopping may _____ .A. help businessmen get more moneyB. keep the shops open longerC. have fewer buyersD. bring better TV programs( ) 5. The best title of this passage is _____ .A. American Tele-shoppingB. Tele-shopping CompaniesC. Tele-shopping in EuropeD. Tele-shopping — Junk on the AirMr. and Mrs Wang are very forgetful.

Did you go to King High School?” The doctor answered, “Yes, I did.” “Were you there from 1942 to 1946?” Mr Grant asked. “Yes, I was.” the doctor answered. “How did you know?” Mr Grant laughed and said, “You were in my class!” “Oh?” the doctor said and looked at him carefully for a few minutes. “What were you teaching?” he asked.( )1.

You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something also that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving（旋转的）door, when it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.1.

Even if you are poor, you can also feel happy.B. Happiness is a feeling of our heart.C. Even if you have lots of money, you may feel very lonely.D. All the above is right.4. What does “Life is like a revolving door, when it closes, it also opens” mean?A. Life is a revolving door.B. When you loose a chance sometimes, you may get another once later.C. When a revolving door closes, it also opens.D. Revolving door makes your life happy.5. What is the best title of this passage?A. H appinessB. Happiness and MoneyC. A Revolving DoorD. When are you happy?When you wave to a friend, you are using sign language. When you smile at someone, you mean to be 1 .

But they are a textbook couple, who love and respect each other.What mysterious force drives us into the arms of one person, while pushing us away from another who may be equally charming? According to John Money, professor of medical psychology at Johns Hopkins University, one of the most important factors is our "love map" - a group of messages encoded in our brains that describes our likes and dislikes. It shows our preferences in hair, eye color, voice, smell and body shape. It also shows the kind of personality we are fond of, whether it's warm, friendly, strong or silent.In short, we fall in love with those people who most clearly fit our love map. And this love map is largely drawn in childhood. When we're kids, parents are the center of our attention, and we are the center of theirs. So parents' characteristics leave an important impression and we are somewhat attracted to people with their facial features, body types, personality and even sense of humor.The mother has an additional influence on her sons: she not only gives them clues to what they will find attractive in a partner, but also affects how they feel about women in general. Just as mothers influence their sons' general feelings toward women, fathers influence their daughters' general feelings about men. If a father, for example, praise his daughter and shows that she is a worthwhile person, she'll feel very good about herself in relation to men.(1)、The best title for this passage is ______.A：Solving Problems for Unsuitable CouplesB：Love Map and its Effects on Our MarriageC：How Parents' Personalities Affect ChildrenD：The Love Story of Alexander and Christina答案： B评析：空(2)、The second paragraph is to ______.A：give an example of seemingly unfit couplesB：teach new couples how to respect each otherC：explain the force that makes us charmingD：disagree with the opinion of the "love map"答案： A评析：空(3)、The "love map" is a group of messages describing our ______.A：intelligence qualityB：knowledge and artC：likes and dislikesD：mental health答案： C评析：空(4)、We formed our "love map" mostly when we are ______.A：childrenB：teenagersC：marriedD：old答案： A评析：空(5)、Mothers can influence their sons' preferences in these aspects EXCEPT ______.A：facial featuresB：body typesC：general impressionD：work abilities答案： D评析：空2、Castles were brought to Britain by William the Conqueror, when he invaded England in 1066 from his homeland in France. One of the most powerful ways for William to take control of his new kingdom, which included England, Scotland and Wales, was to have castles built throughout the land. At first, he ordered the construction of very simple castles, called motte and bailey castles.These early castles consisted of an earthen mound, topped by a tower built of wood. The bailey was a large area of land enclosed by a shorter fence. Inside the bailey were the main activities of the castle, such as workshops, stables and livestock, household activities, etc., while the tower on the motte was used as the lord's residence and as an observation post. Before long, the earthen castles were replaced by the stone castles, which were much sturdier, did not rot like wood, and also were much more able to withstand any attack by an invader.From the 11th to 13th centuries the stone castles were booming. They were not just used by the king. Most castles, in fact, were granted by a king to their most loyal knights or barons who fought bravely in battle and supported their king. The king, starting with William the Conqueror, gave his loyal knights vast estates and permission to build castles. In return, he expected these men to control their lands as the king's representative, to keep the local population from rebelling, and to force them to work and pay rent to the lord, who then passed it onto the king. These knights and barons built castles almost everywhere in Britain, served to strike fear into the local peoples, and to symbolize their power and wealth.By the 15th century the stone castles began declining. For the one thing, military necessity changed in Great Britain. There was less emphasis placed on defense and more on comfort. Earlier stone houses were gradually modified, or abandoned completely and replaced by great houses of a richer and more relaxed style. The development of firearms and the increasing use of gunpowder, for the other one, also ended the castles' endurance.Despite their decline, many wealthy families of the 18th and 19th centuries fed their passions by naming their newly built houses, "castle." This ill-informed romanticism had its valuable side, which eventually led to concerted efforts to preserve and restore many ruined castles.Even today, centuries after they were active in British history, the castles of Britain have established themselves firmly in the national and international mindset. Castles have demonstrated not only the exchanges of the majesty, power and wealth of their noble builders, but also the rise and set of British Empire.(1)、The castles originated from __________.A：FranceB：EnglandC：ScotlandD：Wales答案： A评析：此题没有评析(2)、According to the text, 'motte' (Para. 1)refers to __________.A：an earthen moundB：a wooden towerC：a shorter fenceD：a larger area答案： A评析：此题没有评析(3)、From the 11th to 13th centuries, castles were booming because of the following reasons EXCEPT __________.A：a giftB：a force meansC：a symbolD：a tourist attraction答案： D评析：此题没有评析(4)、What caused the decline of the castles?A：They are too expensive.B：They are ruined because of fighting.C：They are less comfortable.D：It took much time to build them.答案： C评析：此题没有评析(5)、Which of the following is true?A：People doesn't like the castles any more.B：Much more new castles are being built.C：The castles are the most famous buildings in Britain.D：The castles still have their reputation in the world.答案： D评析：此题没有评析二、词汇与语法1、His answer was so confused that I could hardly make any ________ of it at all.A：senseB：meaningC：intelligibilityD：interpretation答案： A评析：此题没有评析2、I don't think his remarks are relevant ________ our discussion.A：toB：atC：forD：with答案： A评析：此题没有评析3、The key to _________ laws lies in devotion and responsibility of the staff concerned.

Some deal with the situation by watching TV. Some may hide. But all of them have something in common. They spend part of eachday alone. They are called "latchkey children". They're children who look after themselves while their parents are working. And their bad condition has become a subject of concern.Lynette Long was once the headmistress of an elementary school.

新视野大学英语2综合训练完型总结

【综合训练完型阅读】【U9】Each nation has its own odd character which distinguishes it from others. But the peoples of the worl d have more points in which they are all like each other than points in which they are different. One type of person that is common in every country . Who always tries to do as little as he possibly can and to get a s much in return as he can. His opposite, the man who is in the habit of doing more than is strictly necess ary and who is ready to accept what is offered in return is rare everywhere.Both these types are usually not aware of their character. The man who avoids effort is always talkin g about his rights": he appears to think that society owes him a pleasant, easy life. The man who is always doing more than his share talks of "duties": he feels that the individual is in debt to society, and not societ y to the individual. As a result of their views, neither of these men thinks that he behaves at all strangely.The man who tries to do as little as he can is always full of excuses. if he had neglected to do something, it was because he had a headache, or the weather was too hot ---or too cold--- or because he was prevented by bad luck. At first, other people, such as his friends and his employer, generously accept his stories. However, soon they realize what kind of person he is. In the long run he deceives only himself. When his friends become cool towards him and he fails to make progress in his job, he is surprised and hurl. He blames everyone and everything except himself He feels that society is failing in its duties towards him, and that he is being unjustly treated. He soon becomes one of the unsatisfied members of the society he lives in.【U8】Career planning helps you to shape your career possibilities. It includes gathering information about ourselves as well as about occupations. Estimating the probable results of various courses of action is also part of it. Finally, it includes choosing what we find attractive and possible.There are some key steps in career planning. The first one is to study yourself. This is the key to career planning. Understanding what you are like, what you value, and what you want to become is the foundation for all career planning. In studying yourself, you examine your strengths and weaknesses, your goals, and the trends in your personal development. The self-understanding that you gain enables you to imagine something important. That is, you realize how certain occupations may best fit your interests, abilities, and goals.The second step is to write your career goals down. A useful method of organizing ideas about your career is to actually write them down by time blocks in your life, for instance, ages nineteen to twenty-two, twenty-three to thirty, and so on. Writing something down may lead to new ideas about your possibilities and may help you to see relationships, patterns and trends.The third step is to review your plans and progress periodically with another person. Every so often, take stock of your situation and consider what steps have to be taken next. Planning further steps can help you face the changes that take place in the labor market. Talking over your plans with your parentsor friends helps you improve your career plans or make them work.If you choose a career that does not fit you, you can start over. Today, a growing number of people are changing careers or getting second starts in careers that attract them. Reasons for changing careers are different, but many people move because they feel tired of their jobs. For some, a second start grows out of the awareness that what they want out of life is not what they are doing, and they decide to do those things they enjoy. They believe this is important for their personal development.【U7】Here are some secrets of living a successful life:Have a self you respect. This means having a deep sence of responsibility for your thoughts and actions. It means keeping your words and being faithful to self, family and work. It means believing in what you do and working hard. It means setting your own goals. You shouldn’t compare yourself with others for this. It’s not a question of being better than someone else. Respect demands that you be better than you thought you could be.Commit yourself to others. Believe in others, and take time to help them realize their dreams. You can build yourself into the lives of your family, friends and colleagues. You can do this by providing encouragement, and spending your time and energy on their development. If a tree is given little nourishment , it will live but not grow. But if nourishment is given over and beyond what is needed for life, the tree will live and grow upward, producing fruits.Enjoy life’s process, not just life’s reward . We live in a society that wants problems solved now. We want fast food, one hour dry cleaning and instant success. But to live happily , we must live one day at a time. We must realize that life is an endless journey in self-discovery and personal achievement. It means taking time to play with your kids and kiss your wife or husband. Also, it wouldn’t hurt to let the other fellow ahead of you on the highway. And what could be better than this?【U6】How important are our clothes? It is interesting to reflect on how much we judge people by the clothes they wear. Long hair and blue jeans with holes? We would think that he might be a student as that is a fashion started by young people. An elegant lady in a beautiful dress? She must be a foreigner, we think. English women of that age don't dress so smartly, and she probably has money, too. And that man with a well-tailored suit walking over there with an umbrella? A businessman, of course, and undoubtedly English. Why English? Well, he is formally dressed. Also, only an Englishman would always carry his treasured umbrella, even when it is not raining.I once read of a news writer who went into a very expensive department store poorly dressed. She was watched with suspicion from the moment she walked into the store. As she examined the goods, she was watched carefully by security guards in the store. When she finally decided on a smallpurchase, she said she had forgotten to bring enough money with her and asked if she could pay by check. The clerk politely told her that checks were not accepted for goods of two dollars or under. The next day she went back , dressed well , smelling of expensive perfume. She chose an even cheaper article, told the same story and her check was accepted without question. It only goes to show how easily we are impressed by clothes.Some people argue that judging other people by the clothes they wear is unfair. Other people think otherwise. They think that a person's appearance is an expression of who he is. An untidy person may rightly be thought of as a person of low social status, or even low quality. "Any person with a bit of self-respect can look nice if he wants to. Expensive clothes aren't necessary. And if a person decides not to look presentable, why should I give him respect?" one person says.【U5】There are two ways to spoil a child, that is, “overindulgence” and “oversubmissiveness”. The problem with overindulgent parenting is that it starves the child of the opportunity to think for himself. It also keeps him from making his own decisions and developing his own needs and preferences. An overindulged child never has to struggle to get something for himself. He never has to entertain any idea, chances or possible difficulties. When his parents are busy to prepare everything for him and he’s tired of all his toys, this child is “spoiled” into believing that life will provide him everything without his own effort. And when he grows up he will expect everyone to read his mind and provide for him in this way.The other kind of spoiling is oversubmissiveness. An oversubmissive parent gives in to all his child’s demands, often because he fears the child won’t love him if he doesn’t. He just isn’t able to give a(n) firm “No”. The parent has no time to himself, can’t get the child to do anything wit hout an argument, and has to listen to whining continuously. When he’s had too much , he explodes in anger. Then he gives in to the child even more because he feels guilty for exploding. Children need to learn that there are firm and consistent limits, and that they won’t be allowed to take advantage of other people.The child with an oversubmissive parent doesn’t learn to accept a “No” from other people, or to set limits for himself. He learns to get his way by fussing and the ever-present threat: “If you loved me, you’d do what I want.”The child “spoiled” by oversubmissive parenting grows up into a teenager and adult without limits to his behavior. He also becomes a person who won’t respect other people’s limits and personal boundaries. He makes life miserable for his parents, spouse, and children, infringing on their rights and feelings. He does this without even being aware of the people he hurts. Clearly, this is not good for anybody.Avoiding these two ways of spoiling is difficult, but well worth the effort.【U4】Universities are at their best when they do more than give students knowledge about their subjects.A new science and engineering first degree program is creating a lot of excitement at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). It is helping to prepare students to become leaders capable of creating and directing change in local, national, and global communities. Experts believe that much can be expected of this. The details might be of some interest to you.Three years ago, MIT worked with Leadership, Inc. to create the institute-based Leader Shape Institute. Program leaders call it “a serious and creative response to today’s basic challenges”. They mean to develop students and engineers who are prepared to “lead with integrity” both in technolog ical fields and in society. Central to the effort is helping students to learn to listen to society as it expresses its need for change.For the past three summers, the Leader Shape Institute has provided120 MIT science and engineering students with a thorough six-day experience featuring highly interactive teaching and learning methodologies. Throughout the program, students develop skills in problem identification and problem solving. They are also instructed in professional morals, decision-making, dealing with uncertainty, working within a diverse community, and relationship communication. Most discussions and activities take place in assigned small “groups”. These groups provide supportive, safe environments that promote learning. It is meant that students develop new skills and attitudes. Each participant creates an individual plan of action called a “vision”, which is a main element of the Leader Shape curriculum. Each vision must be designed to bring confident change to the institute community. It must be carried out during the following school year.So what do students think about what they learn from the Leader Shape Institute? Nearly everyone asked about it speaks highly of their experience. One student, Christy Robertson, said that it had changed her life. “I feel that the things I’ve learned here are more important than anything else I’ve ever learned in a university classroom,” she said. “I only wish that I could sign up to take it a second time.” Many other students feel the same way.【U3】Choosing your life partner is a decision that requires very careful thought. Getting married is something you do not want to take lightly . Divorce rates around world are increasing every year. And in some countries they are now as high as 50 percent! If you don’t want to end up divorced and heart-broken, take my advice to help you choose your perfect partner.First of all, you and your partner should be compatible. You need to know that you share a common purpose in life. You and your partner should have similar goals and ambitions that you can work towardachieving through your married life. It will be difficult to keep your marriage together if your partner wants to stay at home and raise a large family, but you want to travel the world. You might have difficulty telling him that you want to have a life free from having children.Next, ask yourself this question: Is my partner a person with whom I can share my deepest thoughts and feelings? In other words, can you be completely honest and open with this person? Or do you sometimes feel shy and uncomfortable telling her how you feel? If your situation is the former, then you have probably found your true love. If, however, it is the latter, take your time before you marry this person.Marry a person who is polite and kind to others; he will be polite and kind to you. In my experience, you can learn a lot about the true nature of a person by watching how he treats other people. If someone is kind and giving to family and friends, he will do the same to you. Someone who has good manners and is polite and respectful when dealing with others is whom you should be looking for. He will show you the same consideration.Finally, when you enter into a relationship with someone, remember that you should not expect to change that person. Be sure that the person you are getting together with is someone you like exactly the way he is. Otherwise, you are sure to be disappointed.【U2】The Olympics were first started by the Greeks and were very religious in nature. The Greeks honored their gods by holding competitions as well as by singing and dancing. When the Games were held, all the cities of Greece stopped their wars to show their respect for the gods.There were originally four towns in which the Games were held and each town held the Games once in four years. But the Games at Olympia were the most important . The four-year period from the beginning of one Olympic Games to the beginning of the next became known as an “Olympiad”.Apart from the singing and dancing, the Games were very like the modern Olympics of today. There were foot-races in a stadium over long and short distances. There were jumping events, throwing events, and boxing.Only men were allowed to compete in or watch these early games. Later women were allowed to watch but they did not compete. The stadium in Greek times was built in a horseshoe shape. Thousands of men, and later women, applauded the greatest athletes in the country as they competed. They looked forward to the Games with much excitement.The ancient Olympic Games of Greece took place every four years for hundreds of years. But after the fifth century B.C., the Greeks were overpowered by the Romans. Then Greece became part of the Roman Empire. In Roman times the Olympic Games became less of a religious event than it was duringGreek times. The focus changed to the games themselves. Further changes to the Olympic Games have been made since. Even with the changes to the Olympic Games, however, we still remember the place of their birth.And we are reminded of the original Games even more, because Greece hosted the games very recently. The 2004 Summer Olympics were held in Athens, Greece. Over 200 countries participated in the Games. Also, for the first time ever, the Olympic flame, now very important to the Olympics, traveled around the world in a relay. The excitement of 2004 and that of the original competitions stays with us as we look forward to future Olympic Games.【U1】“You’re going to another country to study? How wonderful! You're really lucky!”But is it true all the time? Specialists in intercultural studies say that it is not easy to adjust to life in a new culture. They call the feelings which people experience when they come to a new environment cult ure shock.According to these specialists, there are three stages of culture shock. In the first stage, the newcom ers like their environment. Then, when the newness wears off, they begin to hate the city, the country, t he people, the apartment, and everything else in the new culture. In the final stage of culture shock, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings. As a result , they enjoy their life more.Some of the factors in culture shock are obvious . Perhaps the customs are different. Perhaps the pu blic service networks such as the telephone or post office are difficult to understand and you make mista kes. The simplest things seem difficult. The language may be difficult. The food may seem strange to you. You may also miss the familiar smells of the food you are used to in your own country. If you don't look s imilar to the natives, you may feel strange. You may feel like everyone is watching you. In fact, you are al ways watching yourself. You are self-conscious .Who experiences culture shock? Everyone does in some form or another. But culture shock comes a s a surprise to most people. A lot of the time, the people with the worst culture shock are the people who never had anydifficulties in their own countries. They had hobbies or leisure activities which they enjoye d back in their mother country. When they come to a new country, they do not have the same establishe d positions or hobbies. They find themselves without a role, almost without a(n) identity . They have to b uild a new self-image. This can take a long time.。
