For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.No one would argue that children thrive when they feel respected, important, and cared for by other persons, or that they falter when they lack the self-pride and self-confidence that accompanies such approval and support. However, at the hands of educators eager to encourage lagging pupils, a myth hasdeveloped that raising youngsters' self-esteem is a sure means of improving their levels of achievement and solving many of the nation's social ills.A 1990 report, for instance, proposes that "self-esteem is the likeliest candidate for a 'social vaccine', something that empowers us to live responsibly and that keeps us from the lure of crime, teen pregnancy, and educational failure. The lack of self-esteem is central to more personal and social ills plaguing our state and nation as we approach the end of the twentieth century."By the 1960s, following the advent of the self-actualization theories of personal growth espoused by psychologists Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers, interest in enhancing self-esteem as a path to accomplishment got under way in the nation's schools. Since then, dozens of "how-to" books have described ways for improving children's positive feeling about themselves. The theory is simple: Feeling good is a necessary predecessor of accomplishment.Despite its current popularity, questions can be raised about the assumptions underlying the self-esteem movement. For example, what benefit does a third-grader gain in telling herself, "I am smart," "I am a good student,"—all forms of the "affirmative language" advocated by Douglas Bloch in his book Positive Self-talk for Children?Does it really enhance the self-esteem of members of the fifth-grade baseball team—or improve their athletic skill—when everyone is awarded a trophy, despite the fact that the team did not show noticeable improvement throughout the season? What effect will this have on next year's efforts when this record of performance ends with apparent approval and satisfaction? Countless statistics and surveys have had a unanimous(一致的) result: nothing is changed, and the days go on the same as ever.People are eager to praise the toddler for a few tentative steps and the two-year-old for simply attempting to match form. with hole in a puzzle board. Self-esteem is heightened in the young child through such love and approval. Older kids, though, are foxy analysts and know when performance merits praise and when it does not. Repeating indiscriminate praise or acclaiming minimal accomplishments run the risk of transforming positive response into meaningless flattery(恭维).Self-esteem theorists appear to have it backwards. Meaningful self-evaluation and positive self-esteem usually are the results, not the prerequisites(前提), of accomplishment. Praise is just one source of feedback; self-esteem more often comes from an awareness that the requirements of a sought-after goal have been mastered. Acquiring the knowledge and skills that enable a child to make progress toward such goals is a necessary basis for developing healthy, realistic self-esteem.Sports are an arena in which Americans generally have little reluctance to require hard work and persistence. Coaches do not hesitate to point out errors and mistakes. Children's self-esteem does not appear to suffer when they are told that they need to practice more and concentrate on the task at hand. The usual effect is renewed effort to work, practice, and learn.InA.elegantB.ignorantC.successfulD.lonely16.The report appeals to the government for considering not only the effects of family change on children, on parents, but also on ______.17. Which of the following is not a big advantage of swimming according to the passage?A.Water reduces the pressure on people's joints.B.Swimming works most of the major muscles.C.Water can greatly increase people's fitness.D.Swimming can burn the fat quite effectively.18.______started by Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King in the South changed civil rights in19.The difference between real - world artist' s playing and singing and her online alter ego's is that the latter______.20.Mr. Bellavance cashed out his pension, sold his house and unloaded things he didn't need at garage after losing his job in order to change his finances into survival mode.A.YB.NC.NG二、3.Listening Comprehension(20题)21.【B2】22.(46)23.(15)A.In Canada.B.Not in Canada.C.In their homeland.D.In the U.

It was tile worse illness in his 1ife. The previous week, he and his wife separated. (30)It seems his unusual. ill health was connected with his bad feeling.(29)Humans have long been aware that our health is linked with our thought, emotions and relationships. Now science is catching up with our suspicion. A new field of scientific investigation has developed. It's the study of how our thoughts and feelings work with our immune and nervous systems．There are already researchers at medical schools who are devoted to the study. They are discovering surprising connections between mind and body. One researcher has been working will with breast cancer patients. She has been looking at the mental factors in their illness and treatment. (31)She has discovered that women who did not like to talk about the emotions created by their illness had more chance of dying in five years after treatment. Of a group of 52 patients, 16 women died. All 16 women had said they usually found it difficult to talk to people about their illness. So, simply speaking, it is bad for your health to keep negative feeling inside you. You need to talk about them to your family and friends.Other research sh6ws that stress really can make you sick. People who lead stressful lives are more likely to fall ill with colds and flus and other illnesses.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Our multimillion nerve-cell central nervous system has its roots in the scattered nerve cells of tiny, lowly organisms that lived in water half a billion years ago. Nerve cells evidently first appeared in coelenterates—"hollow-gutted" organisms like hydra and the sea anemone. A coelenterate's nerve network lacks any kind of centralized control. This probably began with flatworms—the first creatures to possess a head, specialized sense cells help flatworms respond more flexibly than sea anemones to outside stimulus. But like most animals without a backbone, flatworms act mostly by instinct and reflex.Intelligent behavior. remained impossible until the appearance of relatively big, complex types of brain—the types we find among the backboned animals, or vertebrates. The tiniest fish has a larger brain than the largest insect. But the development of a fish's three-part brain reflects that beast's unintellectual priorities. Much of the forebrain deals only with smell. The midbrain handlesvision, the hindbrain, balance.With early mammals the brain grew larger and more complex. Sense coordination shifted from the midbrain to the forebrain, a developing structure capped by a folded cerebrum to handle memory and learning. Meanwhile the hindbrain gained a large cerebellum to coordinate complicated movements. Advanced mammals such as monkeys, apes, and humans (the primates) have brains derived from ancestors that took to living in the trees, when vision mattered more than smell. Accordingly the once-big "smell" part of the forebrain grew smaller, while the part that handles vision grew much larger. With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?A.The sensory organs of invertebrates.B.The anatomy of tiny organisms.C.The origin of the brain and central nervous system.D.The importance of vision for fish and advanced mammals.42.Habitrol is very effective for increasing the chances of stopping smoking ______.43.Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.The idea of humanoid robots is not new, of course. They have been part of the imaginative landscape ever since Karl Capek, a Czech writer, first dreamed them up for his 1921 play "Rossum's Universal Robots".(The word "robot" comes from the Czech word for drudgery, robota.) Since then, Hollywood has produced countless variations on the theme, from the sultry False Maria in Fritz Lang's silent masterpiece Metropolis to the wittering C-3PO in Star Wars and the ruthless assassinof Terminator. Humanoid robots have walked into our collective subconscious, colouring our views of the future.But now Japan's industrial giants are spending billions of yen to make such robots a reality. Their new humanoids represent impressive feats of engineering: when Honda introduced Asimo, a four-foot robot that had been in development for some 15 years, it walked so fluidly that its white, articulated exterior seemed to conceal a human. Honda continues to make the machine faster, friendlier and more agile. Last October, when Asimo was inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame in Pittsburgh, it walked on to the stage and accepted its own plaque.At two and a half feet tall, Sony's QRIO is smaller and more toy-like than Asimo. It walks, understands a small number of voice commands, and cannavigate on its own. If it falls over, it gets up and resumes where it left off. It can even connect wirelessly to the internet and broadcast what its camera eyes can see. In 2003, Sony demonstrated an upgraded QRIO that could run. Honda responded last December with a version of Asimo that runs at twice the speed.In 2004, Toyota joined the fray with its own family of robots, called Partner, one of which is a four-foot humanoid that plays the trumpet. Its fingers work the instrument's valves, and it has mechanical lungs and artificial lips. Toyota hopes to offer a commercial version of the robot by 2010. This month, 50 Partner robots will act as guides at Expo 2005 in Aichi, Japan.Despite their sudden proliferation, however, humanoids are still a mechanical minority. Most of the world's robots are faceless, footless and mute. They are bolted to the floors of factories, stamping out car parts or welding pieces of metal, machines making more machines. According to the United Nations, business orders for industrial robots jumped 18% in the first half of 2004. They may soon be outnumbered by domestic robots, such as self-navigating vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers and window washers, which are selling fast. But neither industrial nor domestic robots are humanoid.In paragraph 1 the author introduces his topic by relating______.A.the idea of humanoid robotsB.Karl Capek's creation of robotsC.Hollywood's production of robot filmsD.the origin of and popular films about robots44. 【S8】45.What do most teachers say about the destructive behavior. of pupils?A.Teachers have seen so much that they tend to ignore it.B.It makes teachers feel extremely disappointed.C.It hurts the teachers badly and they have to stop teaching.D.It is mainly the students misbehaving in the classroom.46.The changes in the skills needed for work in the new economy are prompted mainly by ______.A.new market standardsB.new political structuresanizational structuresD.decrease in transportation and communications costs47.Telecommuting substituting the computer for the trip to the job--has been hailed as a solution to all kinds of problems related to office work.For workers it promises freedom from the office, less time wasted in traffic, and help with child -care conflicts. For management, telecommuting helps keep high performers on board, minimizes tardiness and absenteeism by eliminating commutes, allows periods of solitude for high concentration tasks, and provides scheduling flexibility. In some areas, such as Southern California and Seattle, local governments are encouraging companies to start telecommuting programs in order to reduce rush- hour congestion and improve air quality.But these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images.Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter. A computer programmer from New York City moves to the tranquil Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer. A manager comes in to his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to care for her sick child and does office work between calls to the doctor.These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality. Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time. Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize the necessary boundaries between work and family. Additional child support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done.Management, too, must separate the myth from reality. Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employees' situation, not the availability of technology that precipitates a telecommuting arrangement.That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the number of companies with work - at - home programs or policy guidelines remains small. Which of the following is not mentioned as a problem related to office work?A.Wasting time in traffic.B.The conflict between child -care and work.C.The inflexible schedule.D.The high expense on office equipment.48.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The mineral elements will not be absorbed by the plant unless they aredissolved in its root.B.The stems contain more water than the leaves.C.Air around the leaf is found to be saturated.D.Part of the carbon dioxide in the plants is synthesized.49. Car owners could go to______, besides the dealerships, to replace a mechanical car key.50.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.The feasibility and irrationality of protecting medical privacy.B.The government's appeal to protection of medical information.C.Patients should enjoy more rights to their medical records.D.Doctors and insurers' complaint about the proposal.51.According to the author, file best way to escape the realities of everyday life is ______.A.to chat with assistants in a bookshopB.to take a walk in the streetsC.to make some appointment in a bookshopD.to stay reading books of various kinds in a bookshop52.What does "take a similar turn" mean in the last paragraph?A.The oil price keeps on the rise.B.OPEC members take the same cutting strategy.C.The oil price keeps the same as before.D.World economy experiences the same situation as in 1998 and 2001.53.Judging from what he has written, we can know that the writer is ______.A.an experienced reporterB.a medical researcherC.an alcohol producerD.a social worker54.It is implied that China ______.A.took 10 years to double its real incomes per headB.has caught up by adopting advanced countries' technologyC.will see a sustained economic growth in the coming yearsD.accounts for the bulk of world production55.The value the student puts on correct speech habits depends on ______ .A.how closely he attends to the matterB.whether it is English that is being taughtC.his teacher's approach to pronunciationD.the importance normally given to grammar and spelling56.What can we learn about OPEC's cutting down of their production?A.Not all the members follow the cutting agreements in practice.B.They cut its production fast enough to keep the oil price.C.They would cut the global supply by 2% and no more.D.The cuts always take effect in no time.57.According to the author, what distinguishes jazz from other dance music?A.Jazz musicians specialize in solo.B.Jazz bands have featured soloists.C.Jazz is very hot and rough.D.Jazz musicians often paraphrase solo according to their feelings.58.What does the author tell us by saying "old dogs disdain the new tricks"(Line 1, Para. 4)?A.Professional robbers do not use new skills.B.Professional robbers do not use new weapons.C.Professional robbers do not admire new robbers.D.Professional robbers do not rob new places.ton Friedman was wrong. Inflation is always and everywhere a social phenomenon, not a monetary one. At least, that is how Robert Samuelson sees it. The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath dwells little on the economics of inflation; the main text does not mention the Federal Reserve until page 31.Instead, it examines the intellectual and political currents that let inflation rise from 1% in the early 1960s to nearly 15% in 1980 and then brought it down again.This is a laudable(值得称赞的) enterprise. Historians have devoted lots of scholarship to the Vietnam War and the civil-rights movement but almost nothing to the parallel rise in inflation, whose impact on society has been arguably great.Mr. Samuelson, an economics columnist for the Washington Post and Newsweek, graphically recounts the futile efforts of various presidents to contain inflation, and the toll they exacted. Inflation began, Mr. Samuelson writes, because the followers of John Maynard Keynes who dominated economics after the Second World War convinced John Kennedy that reducing unemployment would cause only a small rise in inflation. But as inflation increased, it became politically impossible to bring it down. In 1968 Richard Nixon asked Herbert Stein, a nominee for Iris Council of Economic Advisers, what the president-elect's biggest economic challenge would be. When Stein replied inflation, Nixon "immediately warned me that we must not raise unemployment," Stein later wrote.The Great Inflation and Its Aftermath is readable, but often frustrating. Rather than proceeding chronologically, it hopscotches (像玩“跳房子”游戏) back and forth between decades, repeatedly bringing home the points it wants to make. Despite the forward-looking subtitle, Mr. Samuelson does not demonstrate that the great inflation has much bearing on America's future. He spends much of two chapters, 73 pages in all, choosing a list of contemporary economic problems, from excessive entitlement spending to global imbalances that have little to do with inflation. Meanwhile, he devotes just a few paragraphs to inflation's most crucial impact at the present. The decline in interest rates that followed inflation's defeat created bubbles in stocks and houses and fuelled a" reach for yield" whose undoing is at the heart of the current crisis.More puzzling is the fact that, in a year in which inflation and deflation have both repeatedly hit the headlines, Mr. Samuelson devotes little time to speculating on the future course of inflation and the political pressures that will affect it. That is a pity because it is a ripe subject.The author commented the book as a" laudable enterprise" (Para.2), mainly because ______.A.it pointed out inflation is always a social phenomenonB.it has been focusing on the economics of inflationC.it contributed to the longly-neglected topic -- inflationD.it does not mention the Federal Reserve until page 3160.【C8】四、5.Error Correction(5题)61. 【S4】62.【S5】63.【S8】64.【S4】65.【S3】五、6.Translation(5题)66.

Are you aware that you actually possess six senses? The sixth is a muscular sense responsible for directing your muscles intelligently to the exact extent necessary for each action you perform. For example, when you reach for an object, the sensory nerves linking the muscles to the brain stop your hand at the correct spot. This automatic perception of the position of your muscles in relation to the object is your muscular sense in action.Muscles are stringly bundles of fibers varying from one five-thousandth of an inch to about three inches. They have three unique characteristics, they can become shorter and thicker; they can stretch; and they can retract to their original positions. Under a high-powered microscope, muscle tissue is seen as long, slender cells with a grainy texture like wood.More than half of a person's body is composed of muscle fibers, most of which are involuntary-in other words, work without conscious direction. The voluntary muscles, those that we move consciously to perform particular actions, number more than five hundred. Women have only 60 to 70 percent as muchmuscle as men for their body mass. That is why an average woman can't lift as much, throw as far, or hit as hard as an average man. （16分）（答题时限：00:01:00）(1) According to the selection, the muscular sense is responsible for （）. （4分）A.directing our muscles intelligentlyB.the efficiency of our musclesC.the normal breathing functionD. the work of only our involuntary muscles★标准答案：A(2) Muscles are unique fibers because, they can （）. （4分）A.do all of the aboveB.contractC.stretchD. retract★标准答案：A(3) Under a microscope, muscle cells appear to be （）. （4分）A.textured like woodB.colored like woodC.smooth and redD.short and thick★标准答案：A(4) According to the selection more than half of a person'sbody is composed of （）. （4分）A.muscle fibersB.voluntary musclesC.involuntary musclesD.sensory nerves★标准答案：A练习英语02总共19题共100分一. 语法（共10题,共40分）1.

I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang.It was an eccentric(怪僻的)farmer. I hadnever met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident.I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go .It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there,waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died."She meant more to me than anyone…even my own wife!" he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻).I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn(厩)."I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!" he said. Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door .He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground." She was such a good cow!I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!" he said, and burst into tears again. （16分）（答题时限：00:01:00）(1) The underlined phrase make out in the first paragraph means______. （4分）A.understandB.expectC.see clearlyD.hear clearly★标准答案：A(2) Before he arrived at the farmer's house, the writer expected to see Milly lying ______. （4分）A.in bed in a roomB.on the ground of a barnC.on the floor of a room.D.in bed in a barn★标准答案：A(3) What do we know about Milly from he story? （4分）A.She had met with an accident.B.She had caused a scandalC.She was seriously ill.D.She was hidden somewhere.★标准答案：A(4) The farmer wished that the writer might ______. （4分）A.bring Milly back to lifeB.look into the matterC.free him from a scandalD.keep the whole thing a secret★标准答案：A2. America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect （影响） American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business.Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society— one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior （行为）is suitable （合适） at various ages. A person's age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health.There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school,get a job,or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be.It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing. Many people say, 'I am much younger than my mother- or my father - was at my age.' No one says ‘Act your age’ anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways. （16分）（答题时限：00:01:00）(1) It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America ______. （4分）A.has changed people's understanding of ageB.has made people feel youngerC.has changed people's social positionD.has slowed down the country's social development★标准答案：A(2) The underlined word ‘one’ refers to ______. （4分）A.a societyB.AmericaC.a placeD.population★标准答案：A(3) ‘Act your age’ means peo ple should ______. （4分）A.do the right thing at the right ageB.be active when they are oldC.show respect for their parents young or oldD.take more physical exercise suitable to their age★标准答案：A(4) If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it ______. （4分）A.normalB.wonderfulC.unbelievableD.unreasonable★标准答案：A练习英语03总共19题共100分一. 语法（共10题,共40分）1. —I'm sorry to keep you waiting.—Oh, not at all.

The Egyptian kingdom was not self-contained but traded widely with the outside world, using the enormous surpluses of wheat grown on the rich valley soil to profit from high prices resulting from famine in various parts of the Mediterranean world. Relations with the neighboring and in some ways similar civilization of Mesopotamia were always close, though often hostile. Syria and Palestine suffered much in biblical times from the competition of the two world powers of the day. For long, Egypt ruled over Syria but gradually its power declined and it was itself conquered, first by the Assyrians (663 B. C.) and then for a longer term by the Persians (525-332 B.

All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agree upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds.

2021-2022年湖南省衡阳市大学英语6级大学英语六级真题(含答案)
2021-2022年湖南省衡阳市大学英语6级大学英语六级真题(含答案)学校:________ 班级:________ 姓名:________ 考号:________一、2.Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)(20题)1.New Hopes for Preventing AIDSThe success of anti-retroviral (抑止肿瘤病毒) drugs in treating HIV is getting researchers at the 16th International AIDS conference excited at the prospect that the potent medicines might be exploited to perform. double duty. Why not use the power of these ARVs to prevent an HIV transmission or infection from taking hold in the first place? Bill and Melinda Gates asked that provocative question on the opening day of the conference, and are committing their considerable financial resources toward finding an answer. In their remarks, they highlighted the need to develop microbicides and oral-prevention drugs while we wait for a vaccine. And they will get their first hint at how smart their decision was this Thursday, when scientists from West Africa report the initial results from the first trial studying an oral prevention drug.So how realistic are the Gates in expecting even more from the ARVs? "I do think the range of prevention options we have within the next decade will greatly expand," says Dr. Helene Gayle, President of Care USA and co-chair of the conference. "The biologic plausibility for both microbicides and oral-prevention drags is so great." Dr. Mark Dybul, U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, said that if a microbicide or prevention drug becomes available to protect people from infections, they would be funded under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief if countries chose to use them. "We would support all of that; it would be perfectly within our mandate to do all that," he told TIME.Preventing HIV is the only way to keep the number of new infections that occur each year -- 4 million -- from growing. And yet prevention strategies, always the ugly stepsister to treatment programs, have not really taken hold in the developing nations where the rate of infection is highest. An effective vaccine, of course, is the ultimate prevention weapon, but as the Gates' pointed out, an HIV shot is still a long way off. In the meantime, microbicides could be one way to co-opt ARVs into the prevention war; these are chemical compounds, usually in the form. of a gel or cream, that women can use vaginally prior to intercourse to stop the transmission of HIV -- it's the same idea behind spermicides (杀精子剂), which are chemical barriers to spermentering the vagina and causing pregnancy. It's an elegantly simple approach, made even simpler by the fact that researchers didn't really have to start from scratch to come up with new anti-HIV compounds; they already have them in the ARVs, which now interrupt the virus from infecting cells at various points in its life cycle.The key difference is that in a microbicide, the drugs are being used in healthy people rather than in those infected with HIV. When ARVs are used for treatment, both doctors and patients are willing to tolerate a higher level of side effects -- after all, if the choice is between dying from HIV-AIDS and side effects, most patients opt for the latter. If the drugs are to be used to prevent infection, however, everything changes; understandably, healthy people aren't as likely to accept the same level of side effects and toxicities as those already infected.That's why clinical trials are so significant. So far, there are 30 to 40 different microbicide candidates being tested in animals, and five trials in Ghana, Nigeria and other developing nations at the most advanced stages of testing in women. Dr. Gita Ramjee, of the HIV Prevention Research Unit in Durban, South Africa, has worked with all five, and is hopeful that they will prove effective and make an impact on the disease. Because these latest microbicides are reformulated ARVs, however, the problem of the virus becoming resistant to them is a potential drawback. Dr. Peter Plot, of UNAIDS, suggests basing microbicides only on the drugs do not make it through the pharmaceutical pipeline many are rejected becausA.YB.NC.NG2.People who suffer from groups of depressive episodes feel bad all the time.A.YB.NC.NG3.Manufacturers have developed _______________ to correct errors like receiving signal of the same frequency from a strange device.4.Flu vaccines can reduce death by about ______ percent among old people. 5.Music lyrics of Eminem are full of ______________, but they are very popular.6.

Let me start with some statistics. Did you know that 90% of the coast in this country is eroding, on the Gulf of Mexico for instance, erosion averages 4 to 5 feet per year? Over the past 20 years, there has been an increase in building along the coast, even though geologists and environmentalists have been warning communities about problems like erosion. Someway, communities have tried to protect their buildings and roads and to build seawalls.However, geologists have found that such stabilizing structures actually speed up the destruction of the beaches. These beaches with seawalls, called stabilized beaches, are much narrower than beaches without them. You may wonder how seawalls speed up beach loss. The explanation is simple. If the flow of the beaches is gentle, the water energy is lessened as it washes up along the shore. It is reduced even more that returns to the sea so it doesn't carry back much sand. On the other hand, when the water hits the nearly vertical face of the seawall, it goes straight back to the sea with the full force of its energy and it carries back a great deal of sand. Because of the real risk of losing beaches, many geologists support a ban on all types of stabilizing construction on shorelines.(30)A.To protect beachfront property.B.To reduce the traffic on beach roads.C.To provide privacy for homeowners.D.To define property limits.39.(16)A.Because he wanted to meet the woman's parents.B.Because he goes to a beach house each August.C.Because he won't be able to take a vacation.D.Because he didn't know the woman's plan.40.(26)A.She isn't there in the morning.B.Her assistant isn't there in the morning.C.She won't have the forms he needs until the afternoon.D.She isn't as busy in the afternoon.三、4.Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)(20题)41.Which of the following statement is true according to the passage?A.The author is encouraging five-year-olds to address grownups by their first names, usually very formal and faithful.B.First-namers claim they are motivated by nothing worse than uncontrollably high-spirited friendliness.C.The author thought the secretary often dare not call their boss the first name.D.He finds the secretary is often unwilling to pass a message.42.【C4】43.What are the advantages of blog, short for "web log", comparing with e-mail?44.How many people are suffering from labor market problems? This is one of the most critical yet contentious social policy questions: In many ways, our social statistics exaggerate the degree of hardship. Unemployment does not have the same dire (可怕的) consequences today as it did in the 1930s when most of the unemployed were primary breadwinners, when income and earnings ware usually much closer to the margin of subsistence, and when there were no countervailing social programs for those failing in the labor market. Increasing affluence, the rise of families with more than one wage earner, the growing predominance of secondary earners among the unemployed, and improved social welfare protection have unquestionably mitigated(减轻) the consequences of joblessness. Earnings and income data also overstate the dimensions of hardship. Among the millions with hourly earnings at or below the minimum wage level, the overwhelming majority is from multiple earners, relatively affluent families. Most of those counted by the poverty statistics are elderly or handicapped or have family responsibilities which keep them out of the labor force, so the poverty statistics are by no means an accurate indicator of labor market pathologies. Yet there are also many ways our social statistics underestimate the degree of labor-market-related hardship. The unemployment counts exclude millions of fully employed workers whose wages arc so low that their families remain in poverty. Low wages and repeated or prolonged unemployment frequently internet to undermine the capacity for self-support. Since the number experiencing joblessness at some time during the year is several times the number unemployed in any month, those who suffer as a result of forced idleness can equal or exceed average annual unemployment, even though only a minority of the jobless in any month really suffers. For every person counted in the monthly unemployment tallies, there is another part-time working because of the inability Io find fulltime work, or else outside the labor force but wanting a job. Finally, income transfers in our country have always focused on the elderly, disabled, and dependent, neglecting the needs of the working poor, so that the dramatic expansion of cash and in kind transfers does not necessarily mean that those failings in the labor market are adequately protected.As a result of such contradictory evidence, it is uncertain whether those suffering seriously as a result of labor market problems number in the hundreds of thousands or the tens of millions, and, hence, whether high levels of joblessness can be tolerated or must be countered by job creation and economic stimulus. There is only one area of agreement in this debate----that the existing poverty, employment, and earnings statistics are inadequate for one of their primary applications, measuring the consequences of labor market problems.Which of the following docs "labor market problems" (Line 1, Para. 1) refer to?A.Shortage of jobs providing adequate income.B.Deficiencies in the training of the work force.C.Trade relationships among producers of goods.D.The overall causes of poverty.45.It is increasingly possible that the technology will make visible the scenes in one's______.46.Judging from the context, the word "they"(Para. 4) refer to ______.A.the security risksB.the terrorist attacksC.environmental hazards of over-centralizationD.the security risks, economic expenses, and environmental hazards47.How many points will a student lose if he misspells a word on a composition?48.According to the author, which Of the following statements is true?A.Critical reading can make us believe more in what we read.B.An open-minded thinker is responsible for what he or she says.C.Our attitude toward what we read may change if we are given better reasons.D.We ought to question the value of what we read if its source is not authoritative.49.The spare stocks of extra components have to be stored when ______ is used.50.The writer's attitude towards science is ______.A.criticalB.approvingC.neutralD.regretful51.Road courtesy is not only good manners, but good sense, too. It takes themost level headed and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to get their revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little courtesy goes a long way towards relieving the tensions and frustrations of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of good will and tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.Contrary to general opinion, young drivers (especially sports-car owners, who take pride in their driving) have better manners than their seniors. But this attitude is short-lived in the world of modem driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any quarter. This may be a commendable trait on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars to overtake when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. Their drivers couldn't be bothered to select a lower gear. Others, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged (多占) the road. Again, a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps. "They manufacture them by force, using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warning." Slanging-matches (互相谩骂)and even punch-ups are quite common. It can't be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used: we can then call our dual carriageways duel carriageways, and solve a spelling problem in the process.Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technically skilled a driver may be, he can't be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive:Ironically, misplaced courtesy can also be dangerous and selfish. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a lone car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a pedestrian crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not littered with the corpses of these grannies.Road courtesy is good sense because ______.A.it minimizes quarrelsB.it cuts down the number of driversC.most drivers will hit you if offendedD.most drivers never make acknowledgements52.Why do criminals give up robbing the traditionally lucrative places?A.Old tools and techniques used by criminals are useless in these places now.B.Modern guns cannot make a terrific noise to menace people in these places.C.Modern devices and technological improvement protect these places.D.Robbing these places is not so profitable and worthwhile as before.53.What can be inferred from the last paragraph about education after retirement?A.It can encourage retirees to have wide interests in various areas.B.It can keep retirees busy all the time by taking different courses.C.It can challenge retirees to gain high academic achievements.D.It can help retirees live a meaningful but relaxing life in late years.54.What do fraternal twins have in common in terms of genes?55.On the shelves of the country's shops is the usual classification of toys, clothing, appliances and cookware. But over the past month the quality of many of the goods on offer has improved. In part this is because scandals over toxic paint have brought closer scrutiny from inspectors and hence less corner-cutting. But it is also partly because of falling demand for its goods from other countries, which has given its manufacturers and local government a big incentive to work around the country's exportpromotion policies and to sell at home.Its manufacturers are well aware that they operate in one of the few large markets that is still showing a pulse. Retail sales in October were up by 22% compared with the same month in 2007 -- a slight drop from 23.2% in September, but an impressive figure nonetheless. That certainly exaggerates the country's economic vigor, but it would be a stretch to believe that the country is in recession.As domestic consumption increases, its export-oriented manufacturers are under siege (围攻). Figures announced on December 10th showed that exports fell by a startling 2.2% in November, compared with a year earlier. Analysts had expected an increase of around 15%; it was the first fall in exports for seven years. The news followed a government survey, released on December 1st, that showed a sharp decline in the fortunes of export manufacturers, confirming lots of anecdotal evidence. Diverting goods intended for export to the domestic market makes sense for factory owners,who want their firms to survive, and for local officials, who wish to maintain order.As a result of pressure from its trading partners, these tax rebates (折扣) on exports had been contracting. But in November a new stimulus plan was announced that increased the rebates on more than 3,000 items. Evidently its officials hope the country can once again export its way to higher growth, despite the financial troubles in its main markets.One solution is to route goods to the domestic market via a port city, so that they qualify as exports, but this takes time and money and strikes many operators as a huge waste of both. The sudden appearance of higher-quality goods suggests that officials are being less eager than usual in enforcing the export rules.Its consumers, for their part, must surely be pleased that they can buy better products at low prices. A year ago, the boom(繁荣) was expected to be the means of breaking down the divide between its domestic and export-led economies. But perhaps a bust is what was required.What has happened to the shelves of the country's shop over the past month?A.All the goods were classified into different categories.B.Toxic paint was forcibly taken out of shelves.C.The quality of goods has been greatly improved.D.There are fewer brands from the foreign countries.56. 【S4】57. Which of the following docs "labor market problems" (Line 1, Para. 1) refer to?A.Shortage of jobs providing adequate income.B.Deficiencies in the training of the work force.C.Trade relationships among producers of goods.D.The overall causes of poverty.58.Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Have you ever studied your calendar and wondered where the weeks and months went? Time seems to fly when we are too busy to be "in the moment."If you want to be present for your life, slow down and create timelessness by engaging in activities that give you joy.In a book by Dr. Stephen Rechtschaffen, called Timeshifting: Creating More Time To Enjoy Your Life, the author states that 95 percent of us rafter from "time poverty." This is when you feel frustrated stressed, trapped and under constant pressure. You have the nagging feeling you should be engaged in something else and life seems to be slipping away.Our challenge with the pace of society begins when we are children. Children move to a different rhythm; at times they move fast, but when they discover something new and exciting or something they love, they slow down and are "present." Timelessness is a child at play. To children, the rhythm of society is a rude awakening.One morning I woke up late and raced through my morning trying to get my children ready for school. My preschooler was drawing with colored pencils and was lost in the moment of making beautiful art when I interrupted him. I grabbed the pencils and tossed them into a bag but not before he retaliated by screaming and throwing his paper. My oldest son was not impressed when I told him we had to go.I was at fault for pushing these children out of their rhythm. I should have given them more time. They have their whole lives to nm at society's pace. Think about time and its impact on your life. If you conduce yourself as if you are driving 200 miles un hour and suddenly slow down to 50 miles an hour, you will feel major discomfort or may have an accidentlf you wok all day and life is hectic, what do you do when you get home? You turn on the television, computer or stereo to ease the transition and keep a similar rhythm that you experienced during the day.Going from chaos to a quiet environment is awkward. It is uncomfortable because we slow down and have time to reflect on our lives and challenges. Most of us prefer not to deal with inner conflicts, so we keep busy. We tom on technology and tune out.It is easier to keep busy in a society that emphasizes speed, efficiency, profits and results.We fear slowing down because a tougher economy means company downsizing and downsizing means eliminating inefficient workers. Slowing down is perceived to be a weakness and if we value our jobs, we will work longer and harder and give up our precious resource: free time.Slowing down need not be permanent. Rather it is a rest stop, like a break in music, a breath of fresh air. Slowing down allows us to recharge and restructure our world. It is necessary for balance and it is a challenge to impose.When you follow this path, have a network of family and friends for support. Find moments in each day to rest, stretch exercise, meditate or do whatever you need to "unwind." Choose activities that allow you to lose track of time. Set little goals for yourself and think of ways to improve. Read, ask others for。

④初试三门专业课题型非常对我胃口，每年题型基本是不变的，篇章翻译主要考时政类文章中译英，科普类文章英译中，难度和长度适中，可以接受。
至于为什么考翻译硕士呢，因为我本科专业是英语，二外学的不好，只能考专业硕士，那就只有英语教育和翻译了。
我比较喜欢后者，对后者更得心应手。
简单介绍下中南翻译硕士的考研情况，中南不是翻译硕士报考院校里面的大热门，报考的学生数没有北上广那些学校多，但是录取人数也虽然不少高校研究生扩招了，但是扩招的幅度远远比不上研究生考试报名人数的幅度。
所以千万不要在一战的时候就想着二战，一定要坚持下去，因为第二年难度更大，不稳定的因素更多了。
其实，中南的翻硕相对于广外上外华师那些学校，难度还是要小一些的。
初试题目真的考翻译基本功，没有故意刁难考生的地方，而且无论是推免生还是统考生，中南都不看你的本科出生的，只要你自身足够优秀。
二、考研初试经验政治中南的政治单科线是60分，必须及格！所以如果高中是理科生一定要好好准备，早点复习哦。
政治这门我投入不多，因为很多基础知识内容是高中学过的，只要认真看一遍都能记起来，所以我复习政治是10月份才开始的。
我用了四本书：肖秀荣1000题肖四和肖八。
前期：搭配1000题和风中劲草一起用，先看一章风中劲草的知识点归纳，然后做1000题中相应的章节，把错误的题目所涉及的知识点再写在风中劲草的空白地方。
如果你是理科生，没有政治科目学习的基础，建议你先看一遍肖秀荣的精讲精练，因为风中劲草相当于浓缩简约版本的精讲精练。
