2014考研英语一真题及答案：阅读题
以下是为⼤家整理的《2014考研英语⼀真题及答案：阅读题》的⽂章，供⼤家参考阅读！ Section II Reading Comprehension Part A Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C, D. Mark your choice on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points) Text 1 In order to “change lives for the better” and reduce “dependency,” George Orbome, Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced the “upfront work search” scheme. Only if the jobless arrive at the jobcentre with a CV register for online job search, and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit-and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly. What could be more reasonable? More apparent reasonableness followed. There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker’s allowance. “Those first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on.” he claimed. “We’re doing these things because we know they help people say off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster” Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with “reforms” to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsides laziness. What motivated him, we were to understand, was his zeal for “fundamental fairness”-protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits. Losing a job is hurting: you don’t skip down to the jobcentre with a song in your heart, delighted at the prospect of doubling your income from the generous state. It is financially terrifying, psychologically embarrassing and you know that support is minimal and extraordinarily hard to get. You are now not wanted; you support is minimal and extraordinarily hard to get. You are now not wanted; you are now excluded from the work environment that offers purpose and structure in your life. Worse, the crucial income to feed yourself and your family and pay the bills has disappeared. Ask anyone newly unemployed what they want and the answer is always: a job. But in Osborneland, your first instinct is to fall into dependency —permanent dependency if you can get it — supported by a state only too ready to indulge your falsehood. It is as though 20 years of ever-tougher reforms of the job search and benefit administration system never happened. The principle of British welfare is no longer that you can insure yourself against the risk of unemployment and receive unconditional payments if the disaster happens. Even the very phrase “jobseeker’s allowance” — invented in 1996 — is about redefining the unemployed as a “jobseeker” who had no mandatory right to a benefit he or she has earned through making national insurance contributions.Instead, the claimant receives a time-limited “allowance,” conditional on actively seeking a job; no entitlement and no insurance, at ￡71.70 a week, one of the least generous in the EU. 真题解析：⽂章概括：政府⼤⾂Grorge Osbome提出了⼀个项⽬帮助失业的⼈找⼯作。

AThe Cambridge Science Festival Curiosity ChallengeDare to Take the Curiosity Challenge!The Cambridge Science Festival (CSF) is pleased to inform you of the sixth annual Curiosity Challenge.The challenge invites，even dares school students between the ages of 5 and 14 to create artwork or a piece of writing that shows their curiosity and how it inspires them to explore their world.Students are being dared to draw a picture，write an article，take a photo or write a poem that shows what they are curious about.To enter the challenge，all artwork or pieces of writing should be sent to the Cambridge Science Festival，MIT Museum，265 Mass Avenue，Cambridge 02139 by Friday，February 8th.Students who enter the Curiosity Challenge and are selected as winners will be honored at a special ceremony during the CSF on Sunday，April 21st.Guest speakers will also present prizes to the students.Winning entries will be published in a book.Student entries will be exhibited and prizes will be given.Families of those who take part will be included in the celebration and brunch will be served.Between March 10th and March 15th，each winner will be given the specifics of the closing ceremony and the Curiosity Challenge celebration.The program guidelines and other related information are available at：http：//. 21．Who can take part in the Curiosity Challenge?A．School students.B．Cambridge locals.C．CSF winners.D．MIT artists.22．When will the prize－giving ceremony be held?A．On February 8th.B．On March 10th.C．On March 15th.D．On April 21st.23．What type of writing is this text?A．An exhibition guide.B．An art show review.C．An announcement.D．An official report.BPassenger pigeons(旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers.Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks(群)so large that they darkened the sky for hours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point，there were more than 3 billion passenger pigeons－a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States，making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world.Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller，a flock believed to be 1 mile wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly，the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing．Where the birds were most abundant，people believed there was an ever－lasting supply and killed them by the mercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain，waited until pigeons had settled to feed，then threw large nets over them，taking hundreds at a time.The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century，the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by Americans’ need for wood，which scattered(驱散)the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north，where cold temperatures and spring storms contributed to their decline.Soon the great flocks were gone，never to be seen again.In 1897，the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons，but by then，no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years.The last confirmed wild pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County，Ohio，in 1900.For a time，a few birds survived under human care.The last of them，known affectionately as Martha，died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1，1914.24．In the 18th and early 19th centuries，passenger pigeons ________．A．were the biggest bird in the worldB．lived mainly in the south of AmericaC．did great harm to the natural environmentD．were the largest bird population in the US25．The underlined word“undoing”probably refers to the pigeons’ ________．A．escape B．ruinC．liberation D．evolution26．What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A．To seek pleasure. B．To save other birds.C．To make money. D．To protect crops.27．What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A．It was ignored by the public.B．It was declared too late.C．It was unfair.D．It was strict.CA typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip(鞭)and a chair.The whip gets all of the attention，but it’s mostly for show.In reality，it’s the chair that does the important work.When a lion tamer holds a chair in front of the lion’s face，the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time.With its focus divided，the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next.When faced with so many options，the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion？How often do you have something you want to achieve (eg.lose weight，start a business，travel more ) －only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is best，the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information.The end result is that we feel like we can’t fo cus or that we’re focused on the wrong things，and so we take less action，make less progress，and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way.Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face，remember this ：All you need to do is focus on one thing.You just need to get started.Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people.If you have somewhere you want to go，something you want to accomplish，someone you want to become...take immediate action.If you’r e clear about where you want to go，the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.28．Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A．To trick the lion.B．To show off his skills.C．To get ready for a fight.D．To entertain the audience.29．In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A．They feel puzzled over choices.B．They hold on to the wrong things.C．They find it hard to make changes.D．They have to do something for show.30．What is the author’s attitude towards the exper ts mentioned in Paragraph 3? A．Tolerant. B．Doubtful.C．Respectful. D．Supportive.31．When the world is“waving a chair in your face”，you’re advised to ________．A．wait for a better chanceB．break your old habitsC．make a quick decisionD．ask for clear guidanceDAs more and more people speak the global languages of English，Chinese，Spanish，and Arabic，other languages are rapidly disappearing.In fact，half of the 6，000～7，000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century，according to the United Nations Educational，Scientific，and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)．In an effort to prevent language loss，scholars from a number of organizations—UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin，a scientist at the Macmillan Center，Yale University，who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas，is following in that__tradition．His recently published book，A Grammar of Thangmi w ith an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture，grows out of his experience living，working and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin，who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India，Nepal，Bhutan，and China.But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of importantmaterials—including photographs，films，tape recordings，and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now，through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such documents，found in libraries and stores around the world，available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.Thanks to digital technology and the widely available Internet，Turin notes，the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.32．Many scholars are making efforts to ________．A．promote global languagesB．rescue disappearing languagesC．search for language communitiesD．set up language research organizations33．What does“that tradition”in Paragraph 3 refer to?A．Having full records of the languages.B．Writing books on language teaching.C．Telling stories about language users.D．Living with the native speakers.34．What is Turin’s book based on?A．The cultural studies in India.B．The documents available at Yale.C．His language research in Bhutan.D．His personal experience in Nepal.35．Which of the following best describe s Turin’s work?A．Write，sell and donate.B．Record，repair and reward.C．Collect，protect and reconnect.D．Design，experiment and report.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

全国2014年10月00012《英语(一)》历年真题及答案【带解析】
A．True
B．False
C．Not Given
【答案】A
【解析】由第二段后两句可知，度假是值得期盼的。它会给我们一种感觉，那就是目前发生的任何事情都将很快结束故选A。
Companies sometimes use away-breaks to restore（恢复）motivation and team relationships. If you're able to switch off and leave your daily work behind, when you come back, you often view old situations with fresh eyes and see them in a new way.
Vacations also allow us to focus on the present in a way that's hard to do at home. When you're in a new environment for a short time, your attention tends to be on what's happening right now and in the next few days. Being "in the moment" is in itself one of the keys to getting relaxed, and this happens more naturally on vacation.

公共英语一级考试阅读练习（一篇）公共英语一级考试阅读练习 1MulesAlthough the top men in smuggling business must work together，most of a syndicate‘s small fry，especially the mules，know only their immediate contacts.If caught there is little they can give away.A mule probably will not even know the name of the person who gives him his instructions，nor how to get in touch with ually he even does not know the person to whom he has to make delivery.He will be told just to sit tight in a certain hotel or bar until someone contacts him.In this way if he is blown，ing through airport customs he cannot unwittingly lead agents to the next link in the chain.All the persons at the receiving end do is to hang around the airport among the waiting crowd，and see that the mule es through safely.If he does not，he is dimply written off as a loss.To make identification of mules easier，several syndicates have devised their own “club ties” so that a mule wearing one can immediately be picked out.Mules often receive careful training before embarking on their first journey.One Beirut organization，for example，usesa room with three airline seats in it.There the trainee mules sit for hours on end wearing weighted smuggling vests beneath their clothes，so that they e accustomed to standing up after a long flight in a natural way，and without revealing what they are carrying.An outfit in Brussels maintained a fortable apartment where the mules could relax and get a firm grip on themselves on the night before their first journey; they were helped to dress before setting out for the airport in the morning.More often than not a courier will not know precisely where he is going or what flight number is until he is actually handed his tickets at the airport.This prevents the careless boast in some bar or to a girl friend the night before.Mules occasionally run off with the goods to keep the profit themselves.As insurance against this，a syndicate often sends a high-up on the same plane to keep a wary eye on couriers，particularly new ones.Even then things can go badly wrong.One international currency smuggler who was having trouble getting money out of Britain was offered help by a group of men who said they were in a position to “fix thing” - for a fee of course.Foolishly，the smuggler agreed to accept their help.When he got to L ondon‘s Heathrow Airport，he handed over to oneof the men a black suitcase containing nearly $90，000 in cash，destined for Frankfurt.Just to keep an eye on things，the smuggler went along on the same plane.When they landed at Frankfurt he was handed back his suitcase.He beat a straight path to the men’s toilet，opened the case，and found only old clothes. The courier had switched suitcase en route，but the smuggler could hardly run to the police and plain that “the man who was smuggling money out of Englan d for me has stolen it.”1.What is a “mule”?[A]A person who sends smuggling goods for a syndicate is called mule.[B]A person in charge of smuggling goods is called mule.[C]A person who makes delivery for a syndicate is called mule.[D]A person who receives instructions from a smuggler is called mule.2.The sentence “if he is blown” in line (6) is closest in meaning to[A]if he is arrested.[B]if he is recognized，but not necessarily arrested.[C]if he is recognized and arrested.[D]if he runs away.3.Why does the author give an example in the last paragraph?[A]To show how a smuggler is caught.[B]To show a smuggler is afraid of the police.[C]To show to keep a wary eye on couriers is useless.[D]To show mules may keep the profit for themselves.4.how does a mule work?[A]Jointly.[B]Independently.[C]consciously.[D]Separately.Vocabulary1.fry小鱼群，小生物群。

John Denver .Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy but few know how to find happiness. Money and success don’t bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.Some people believe that if they are wealthy, they will be able to do anything they want, which means happiness. On the other hand, some people believe that holding a high position in the government is happiness. In this way, you have not only money, but also many other things which can’t be bought by money. However, other people believe that having lots of money is not happiness, nor is holding a high position in thegovernment. These people value(重视) their beliefs, or their intelligence, or their health. They think these can make them happy.Here are a few ways to help you be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future, for example, getting into college or getting a good job, that we don’t enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have close friends usually enjoy happier and healthier lives.The second secret of happiness is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. According to studies, people feel good when they volunteer their time to do many meaningful things for other people. If you want to feel happier, do something nice for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to get food for an old neighbor, or simply help around the house.Now maybe you know how to find happiness!( )6. The underlined word “wealthy”means “__________”in the article.A. pleasedB. healthyC. excitedD. rich( )7. Some people who hold a high position in the government think they can_________.A. get money and something they can’t buy with moneyB. do what they want to do at any timeC. enjoy health which makes them work hardD. take an active part in all kinds of activities every day( )8. The writer thinks the secret of happiness is that people ___________.A. think about getting a good jobB. think of presents they don’t likeC. often spend time with close friendsD. often spend time on entering the college( )9. Many people find it happy to ___________.A. remember the old days and troublesB. do some meaningful things for othersC. go shopping to buy some foodD. make much money and little success( )10 The passage mainly tells us __________.A. how to find happinessB. how to save happinessC. to do something good for othersD. to value our beliefs or health参考答案1-5A B CB C 6-10D AC B A。

Private Car in AmericaThe private automobile(私家车)has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families, the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools. Family life has been affected(影响)in different ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者)of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD(Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving)and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans, the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to American, even though they cause a lot of environmental problems to people.1. People in the United States start to have their private automobile recently.A .True B.

Once upon a time there lived a fisherman in a village near the sea. One day the fisherman set out in a small boat. After he had got to a good place for fishing, he threw a long rope, then the rope became very heavy. He thought it seemed too heavy to be a fish, and began to draw in the rope. When the hooks(鱼钩) came out of the water, he was surprised, for the hooks were holding some golden chains(链子). When he pulled them, more and more golden chains came out. Soon there was a long pile of golden chains in his boat.
