Text 1①If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006's World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the later months. ②If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be even more pronounced.①What might account for this strange phenomenon? ②Here are a few guesses: a) certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills; b) winter-born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina; c) soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime, at the annual peak of soccer mania; d) none of the above.①Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University, says he believes strongly in“none of the above.”②Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and studied nuclear engineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he switched to psychology. ③His first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random series of numbers. ④“With the first subject, after about 20 hours of training, his digit span had risen from 7 to 20,”Ericsson recalls. ⑤“He kept improving, and after about 200 hours of training he had risen to over80 numbers.”①This success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not genetically determined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one. ②In other words, whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences are swamped by how well each person“encodes”the information.③And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as deliberate practice.④Deliberate practice entails more than simply repeating a task. ⑤Rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.①Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits, including soccer. ②They gather all the data they can, not just performance statistics and biographical detailsbut also the results of their own laboratory experiments with high achievers. ③Their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. ④Or, put another way, expert performers—whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programming—are nearly always made, not born.21.The birthday phenomenon found among soccer players is mentioned to __________.[A] stress the importance of professional training[B] spotlight the soccer superstars of the World Cup[C] introduce the topic of what makes expert performance[D]explain why some soccer teams play better than others22.The word“mania”(Line 4, Paragraph 2) most probably means __________.[A] fun[B] craze[C] hysteria[D] excitement23.According to Ericsson, good memory __________.[A] depends on meaningful processing of information[B] results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercises[C] is determined by genetic rather than psychological factors[D] requires immediate feedback and a high degree of concentration24.Ericsson and his colleagues believe that __________.[A] talent is a dominating factor for professional success[B] biographical data provide the key to excellent performance[C] the role of talent tends to be overlooked[D] high achievers owe their success mostly to nurture25.Which of the following proverbs is closest to the message the text tries to convey?[A]“Faith will move mountains.”[B]“One reaps what one sows.”[C]“Practice makes perfect.”[D]“Like father, like son.”Text 2①For the past several years, the Sunday newspaper supplement Parade has featured a column called“Ask Marilyn.”②People are invited to query Marilyn vos Savant, who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23 years old; that gave her an IQ of 228—the highest score ever recorded.③IQ tests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies, to envision paper after it has been folded and cut, and to deduce numerical sequences, among other similar tasks. ④So it is a bit confusing when vos Savant fields such queries from the average Joe (whose IQ is 100) as, What's the difference between love and fondness? Or what is the nature of luck and coincidence? ⑤It's not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers.①Clearly, intelligence encompasses more than a score on a test. ②Just what does it mean to be smart?③How much of intelligence can be specified, and how much can we learn about it from neurology, genetics,computer science and other fields?①The defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score, even though IQ tests are not given as often as they used to be. ②The test comes primarily in two forms: the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales (both come in adult and children's version).③Generally costing several hundred dollars, they are usually given only by psychologists, although variations of them populate bookstores and the World Wide Web. ④Superhigh scores like vos Savant's are no longer possible, because scoring is now based on a statistical population distribution among age peers, rather than simply dividing the mental age by the chronological age and multiplying by 100. ⑤Other standardized tests, such as the Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) and the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), capture the main aspects of IQ tests.①Such standardized tests may not assess all the important elements necessary to succeed in school and in life, argues Robert J. Sternberg. ②In his article“How Intelligent Is Intelligence Testing?”, Sternberg notes that traditional tests best assess analytical and verbal skills but fail to measure creativity and practicalknowledge, components also critical to problem solving and life success. ③Moreover, IQ tests do not necessarily predict so well once populations or situations change. ④Research has found that IQ predicted leadership skills when the tests were given under low-stress conditions, but under high-stress conditions, IQ was negatively correlated with leadership—that is, it predicted the opposite. ⑤Anyone who has toiled through SAT will testify that test-taking skill also matters, whether it's knowing when to guess or what questions to skip.26.Which of the following may be required in an intelligence test?[A] Answering philosophical questions.[B] Folding or cutting paper into different shapes.[C] Telling the differences between certain concepts.[D] Choosing words or graphs similar to the given ones.27.What can be inferred about intelligence testing from Paragraph 3?[A] People no longer use IQ scores as an indicator of intelligence.[B] More versions of IQ tests are now available on the Internet.[C] The test contents and formats for adults and children may be different.[D] Scientists have defined the important elements of human intelligence.28.People nowadays can no longer achieve IQ scores as high as vos Savant's because __________.[A] the scores are obtained through different computational procedures[B] creativity rather than analytical skills is emphasized now[C] vos Savant's case is an extreme one that will not repeat[D] the defining characteristic of IQ tests has changed29.We can conclude from the last paragraph that __________.[A] test scores may not be reliable indicators of one's ability[B] IQ scores and SAT results are highly correlated[C] testing involves a lot of guesswork[D] traditional tests are out of date30.What is the author's attitude towards IQ tests?[A] Supportive.[B] Skeptical.[C] Impartial.[D] Biased.Text 3①During the past generation, the American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure has been transformed by economic risk and new realities. ②Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months.①In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work, transforming basic family economics.②Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. ③Today's families have budgeted to the limits of their new two-paycheck status. ④As a result, they have lost the parachute they once had in times of financial setback—a back-up earner (usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick. ⑤This“added-worker effect”could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad times. ⑥But today, a disruption to family fortunes can no longer be made up with extra income from an otherwise-stay-at-home partner.①During the same period, families have been asked to absorb much more risk in their retirement income. ②Steelworkers, airline employees, and now those in the auto industry are joining millions of families who must worry about interest rates, stock market fluctuation, and the harsh reality that they may outlive their retirement money. ③For much of the past year, President Bush campaigned to move Social Security to a savings-account model, with retirees trading much or all of their guaranteed payments for payments depending on investment returns. ④For younger families, the picture is not any better. ⑤Both the absolute cost of health care and the share of it borne by families have risen—and newly fashionable health-savings plans are spreading from legislative halls to Wa-Mart workers, with much higher deductibles and a large new dose of investment risk for families' future healthcare. ⑥Even demographics are working against the middle class family, as the odds of having a weak elderly parent—and all the attendant need for physical and financial assistance—have jumped eightfold in just one generation.①From the middle-class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like anopportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders. ②The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind.31.Today's double-income families are at greater financial risk in that __________.[A] the safety net they used to enjoy has disappeared[B] their chances of being laid off have greatly increased[C] they are more vulnerable to changes in family economics[D] they are deprived of unemployment or disability insurance32.As a result of President Bush's reform, retired people may have __________.[A] a higher sense of security[B] less secured payments[C] less chance to invest[D] a guaranteed future33.According to the author, health-savings plans will __________.[A] help reduce the cost of healthcare[B] popularize among the middle class[C] compensate for the reduced pensions[D] increase the families' investment risk34.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that __________.[A] financial risks tend to outweigh political risks[B] the middle class may face greater political challenges[C] financial problems may bring about political problems[D] financial responsibility is an indicator of political status35.Which of the following is the best title for this text?[A] The Middle Class on the Alert[B] The Middle Class on the Cliff[C] The Middle Class in Conflict[D] The Middle Class in RuinsText 4①It never rains but it pours. ②Just as bosses and boards have finally sorted out their worst accounting and compliance troubles, and improved their feeble corporation governance, a new problem threatens to earn them—especially in America—the sort of nasty headlines that inevitably lead to heads rolling in the executive suite: data insecurity. ③Left, until now, to odd, low-level IT staff to put right, and seen as a concern only of data-rich industries such as banking, telecoms and air travel, information protection is now high on the boss's agenda in businesses of every variety.①Several massive leakages of customer and employee data this year—from organizations as diverse as Time Warner, the American defense contractor Science Applications International Corp and even the University of California, Berkeley—have left managers hurriedly peering into their intricate IT systems and business processes in search of potential vulnerabilities.①“Data is becoming an asset which needs to be guarded as much as any other asset,”says Haim Mendelson of Stanford University's business school. ②“The ability to guard customer data is the key to market value, which the board is responsible for on behalf of shareholders.”③Indeed, just as there is the concept of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), perhaps it is time for GASP, Generally Accepted Security Practices, suggested Eli Noam of New York's Columbia Business School. ④“Setting the proper investment level for security, redundancy, and recovery is a management issue, not a technical one,”he says.①The mystery is that this should come as a surprise to any boss.②Surely it should be obvious to the dimmest executive that trust, that most valuable of economic assets, is easily destroyed and hugely expensive to restore—and that few things are more likely to destroy trust than a company letting sensitive personal data get into the wrong hands.①The current state of affairs may have been encouraged—though not justified—by the lack of legal penalty (in America, but not Europe) for data leakage. ②Until California recently passed a law, American firms did not have to tell anyone, even the victim, when data went astray.③That may change fast: lots ofproposed data-security legislation is now doing the rounds in Washington, D.C.④Meanwhile, the theft of information about some 40 million credit-card accounts in America, disclosed on June 17th, overshadowed a hugely important decision a day earlier by America's Federal Trade Commission(FTC) that puts corporate America on notice that regulators will act if firms fail to provide adequate data security.36.The statement“It never rains but it pours”is used to introduce __________.[A] the fierce business competition[B] the feeble boss-board relations[C] the threat from news reports[D] the severity of data leakage37.According to Paragraph 2, some organizations check their systems to find out __________.[A] whether there is any weak point[B] what sort of data has been stolen[C] who is responsible for the leakage[D] how the potential spies can be located38.In bringing up the concept of GASP the author is making the point that __________.[A] shareholders' interests should be properly attended to[B] information protection should be given due attention[C] business should enhance their level of accounting security[D] the market value of customer data should be emphasized39.According to Paragraph 4, what puzzles the author is that some bosses fail to __________.[A] see the link between trust and data protection[B] perceive the sensitivity of personal data[C] realize the high cost of data restoration[D] appreciate the economic value of trust40.It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that __________.[A] data leakage is more severe in Europe[B] FTC's decision is essential to data security[C] California takes the lead in the security legislation[D] legal penalty is a major solution to data leakage。

2007年考研英语text1In the backdrop of globalization, the preservation of cultural heritage has become a pressing concern. The integration of diverse cultures and the exchange of ideas have given rise to a unique global identity, but it has also led to the neglect of local and regional traditions. The 2007 postgraduate entrance examination's English text 1 delves into this complex issue, discussing the challenges and opportunities posed by globalization for the conservation of cultural heritage.One of the significant challenges is the erosion of traditional practices and values. As globalization推进,younger generations are increasingly exposed to foreign influences, often leading them to abandon their owncultural heritage. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced in developing countries, where traditional practices and crafts are often overshadowed by Western culture. For instance, many indigenous languages are disappearing, replaced by the dominant language of the globalized world.However, globalization also presents opportunities for the preservation of cultural heritage. The increased connectivity and interdependence among nations have fostered a greater appreciation for diverse cultures. People are becoming more aware of the value of maintaining cultural diversity, leading to increased support for heritage protection. Furthermore, technological advancements have facilitated the documentation and preservation of cultural heritage. Digitalization and virtual reality technologies, for instance, allow people to experience and appreciate traditional cultures even when they are geographically remote.Moreover, globalization has fostered collaboration among nations in heritage protection. International organizations and non-governmental agencies are working towards preserving cultural heritage by funding projects, providing training, and facilitating the exchange of information and expertise. Such collaborations are crucial in addressing the cross-border challenges posed by heritage preservation.In conclusion, globalization poses both challenges and opportunities for the preservation of cultural heritage. While it has led to the erosion of traditional practices and values, it has also fostered a greater appreciation for diverse cultures and facilitated collaboration among nations. It is, therefore, crucial that we seize the opportunities presented by globalization and address the challenges it poses to ensure the preservation of our rich cultural heritage for future generations.**全球化背景下的文化遗产保护:挑战与机遇**在全球化的背景下,文化遗产保护已成为一个紧迫的问题。

2007考研英语阅读翻译(正文+选项)

2007考研英语阅读翻译(正文+选项)

2007 Text 1如果你打算在2006年世界杯锦标赛上调查所有足球运动员的出生证明,那么你很有可能发现一个引人注目的巧合:优秀足球运动员更可能出生于每年的前几个月而不是后几个月。

如果你接着调查世界杯和职业比赛的欧洲国家青年队的话,那么你会发现这一奇怪的现象甚至更明显。

什么可以解释这一奇怪的现象呢?下面是一些猜测:a)某种占星术征兆使人具备更高的足球技能;b)冬季出生的婴儿往往具有更高的供氧能力,这增加了踢足球的持久力;c)热爱足球的父母更可能在春季(每年足球狂热的鼎盛时期)怀孕;d)以上各项都不是。

58岁的安德斯?埃里克森是佛罗里达州立大学的一名心理学教授,他说,他坚信“以上各项都不是”这一猜测。

在瑞典长大的埃里克森,一直研究核工程,直到他认识到,如果他转向心理学领域,他将会有更多机会从事自己的研究。

他的首次试验是在大约30年以前进行的,与记忆相关:训练一个人先听一组任意挑选的数字,然后复述这些数字。

“在经过大约20小时的训练之后,第一个试验对象(复述)的数字跨度从7个上升到20个,” 埃里克森回忆说。

“该试验对象不断进步,在接受大约200个小时的训练后,他复述的数字已经达到80多个。

”这一成功,连同后来证明的记忆本身不是遗传决定的研究,使得埃里克森得出结论,即记忆过程是一种认知练习,而不是一种本能练习。

换句话说,无论两个人在记忆力能力上可能存在怎样的天生差异,这些差异都会被每个人如何恰当地“解读”所记的信息所掩盖。

埃里克森确信,了解如何有目的地解读信息的最佳方法就是一个为人所知的有意练习过程。

有意练习需要的不仅仅是简单地重复一个任务。

相反,它包括确定明确的目标、获得即时的反馈以及技术与结果的浓缩。

因此,埃里克森和他的同事开始研究包括足球领域在内的广泛领域中专业执行者。

他们收集了能够收集的所有资料,不只是表现方面的统计数据和传记详细资料,还包括他们自己对取得很高成就的人员进行的实验室实验结果。

2007年考研英语(一)阅读 text 1 精读精讲

2007年考研英语(一)阅读text 1 精读精讲全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1Title: In-Depth Analysis of 2007 National Postgraduate Entrance Examination (English) Reading Text 1IntroductionIn the 2007 National Postgraduate Entrance Examination, English (Paper 1) included a total of five reading texts, each probing different aspects of comprehension and analysis skills. In this document, we will focus on Text 1 and provide a detailed analysis of its content, structure, and language features.Text 1: "Voices Proclaiming Identity"The text titled "Voices Proclaiming Identity" explores the concept of linguistic identity and its importance in shaping individual and group identities. It discusses how people's language choices, accents, and dialects can reflect their cultural background, social status, and personal experiences. The author argues that language is not simply a means of communication, but a powerful tool for asserting one's identity and belonging to a particular community.Structure AnalysisThe text follows a coherent structure, beginning with a general introduction to the topic of linguistic identity and gradually delving into more specific examples and explanations. It is divided into several paragraphs, each addressing a different aspect of the theme. The overall organization of the text helps readers to follow the argument logically and understand the main points being made.Language FeaturesThe language used in the text is formal and academic, with complex sentence structures and a rich vocabulary.

It is an interesting theory but on close analysis, it doesn’t mean much. How can you discover what you do not know? How can you search for what you do not know? In terms of people looking for their identity, this is somewhat of a paradox.In literature, travelers have often been portrayed as searching for existential meaning or seeking to escape their everyday lives. However, the true essence of travel lies in experiencing the beauty of unfamiliar landscapes, meeting new people, and discovering diverse cultures. It is these encounters that shape our understanding of the world and ourselves.Travel allows us to step out of our comfort zones and confront our own preconceptions. By immersing ourselves in new environments, we are forced to reevaluate our beliefs and values, leading to personal growth and self-discovery. Travel challenges us to adapt to different ways of life, fostering a sense of empathy and understanding for others.Furthermore, travel provides an opportunity for introspection and reflection. As we wander through foreign streets and immerse ourselves in new experiences, we are able to gain a fresh perspective on our own lives. Through encounterswith unfamiliar customs and traditions, we are able to reassess our own cultural background and identity.In conclusion, while the idea of traveling in search of oneself may seem paradoxical, it is through these journeys that we are able to truly discover who we are. By embracing the unknown and stepping out of our comfort zones, we come to understand the complexities of our own identities. Travel is not just about discovering new places, but about uncovering new aspects of ourselves.精读精讲1. The text starts with the idea that people travel in search of themselves.

In this essay, we will delve into the text and dissect its content, style, and message.Text Analysis:The text opens with a description of how globalization has brought about significant changes in the world, particularly in terms of political, economic, and social aspects. It highlights the interconnectedness of different countries and the need for cooperation and understanding. The author emphasizes the importance of cultural exchanges and the preservation of traditional values in the face of rapid modernization.One key theme in the text is the impact of globalization on indigenous cultures and traditions. The author discusses how globalization has led to the homogenization of cultures, eroding local customs and traditions. This loss of cultural diversity is seen as a threat to the richness and vibrancy of society. The text also touches upon the issue of cultural imperialism and the dominance of Western values in the global arena.Furthermore, the text talks about the challenges faced by developing countries in adapting to the demands of globalization. The author argues that developing countries must strike a balance between embracing modernization and preserving their cultural identity. This presents a dilemma for many nations as they strive to achieve economic growth while retaining their cultural heritage.The text concludes by calling for a more inclusive and equitable approach to globalization. The author suggests that the benefits of globalization should be shared more evenly among all countries and that cultural diversity should be valued and protected. This message resonates with the idea of creating a more harmonious and mutually beneficial global community.Language and Style:The language used in the text is formal and academic, with complex sentences and vocabulary. The author employs persuasive techniques such as repetition, analogy, and anecdote to strengthen their argument. The style is objective and rational, with a clear structure and logical progression of ideas.The text is rich in cultural references and examples, which serve to illustrate the author's points and provide evidence for their arguments. The use of diverse perspectives and viewpoints enhances the text's depth and complexity, inviting readers to consider different angles on the topic of globalization and cultural diversity.Conclusion:In conclusion, the 2007 National Postgraduate Entrance Examination (English) Reading Text 1 is a thought-provoking andinsightful piece on the impact of globalization on culture and society. The text explores complex issues related to cultural diversity, economic development, and societal change, challenging readers to rethink their assumptions and perspectives.

2007年-2011年考研英语阅读理解答案及解析汇总

2007年‎考研英语阅‎读理解解析‎Text 121:The birth‎d ay pheno‎m enon‎found‎among‎socce‎r playe‎r s is menti‎o ned to “原文提到足‎球运动员的‎生日现象的‎目的是什么‎?”[A]错在“profe‎s sion‎a l train‎i ng”,原文对应是‎第一段,其中根本就‎没有涉及到‎“profe‎s sion‎a l train‎i ng”这个概念。

虽然在末句‎有这么一个‎词组“profe‎s sion‎a l ranks‎”,但根本不是‎这么个意思‎。

[B]“spotl‎i ght”世界杯上的‎足球巨星。

通过对第一‎段的理解,我们知道原‎文是通过e‎x amin‎e世界杯上‎的足球巨星‎而得出“生日”现象。

“spotl‎i ght世‎界杯上的足‎球巨星”就当然不是‎提到生日现‎象的目的了‎。

[C]“引出文章主‎题,出色表现的‎原因”,符合中心。

[D]“解释一些足‎球队比另一‎些足球队踢‎得好的原因‎”,言下之意就‎是“生日”是决定球员‎表现的原因‎。

这是明显的‎错误,一方面和常‎理矛盾,另一方面和‎中心矛盾。

22:“mania‎”的意思?在原文中的‎对应句子是‎第二段倒数‎第二句“socce‎r mad paren‎t s ……at the annua‎l peak of socce‎r mania‎” “疯狂的父母‎……在mani‎a 的足球赛‎季”,对应的应该‎是“疯狂的赛季‎”,选项中只有‎[B]crazy‎=原文中的“mad”。

23:[B]和[C]与原文矛盾‎,很容易排除‎。

从原文中找‎对应的句子‎来看,应该是在原‎文第四段“In other‎words‎,……by how well each perso‎n encod‎e s the infor‎m atio‎n”“记忆力之间‎的差异能被‎每个人如何‎输入信息s‎w ampe‎d”。

考研英语历年阅读理解真题精析--2007年part1

Unit 14Text 1 If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006’s World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the late months. If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be ever more pronounced. What might account for this strange phenomenon? Here are a few guesses: a)certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills; b)winter born babies tend to have higher oxygen capacity, which increases soccer stamina; c)soccer-mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime, at the annual peak of soccer mania; d)none of the above. Anders Ericsson, a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University, says he believes strongly in “none of the above.” Ericsson grew up in Sweden, and studied nuclear engineering until he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he switched to psychology. His first experiment, nearly 30 years ago, involved memory: training a person to hear and then repeat a random series of numbers. “With the first subject, after about 20 hours of training, his digit span had risen from 7 to 20,” Ericsson recalls. “He kept improving, and after about 200 hours of training he had risen to over 80 numbers.” This success, coupled with later research showing that memory itself is not genetically determined, led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one. In other words, whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize, those differences are swamped by how well each person “encodes” the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully, Ericsson determined, was a process known as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice entails more than simply repeating a task. Rather, it involves setting specific goals, obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome. Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits, including soccer. They gather all the data they can, not just performance statistics and biographical details but also the results of their own laboratory experiments with high achievers. Their work makes a rather startling assertion: the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. Or, put another way, expert performers – whether in memory or surgery, ballet or computer programming –are nearly always made, not born.1. The birthday phenomenon found among soccer players is mentioned to [A] stress the importance of professional training. [B] spotlight the soccer superstars at the World Cup. [C] introduce the topic of what makes expert performance. [D] explain why some soccer teams play better than others.2. The word “mania” (Line 4, Paragraph 2)most probably means [A] fun. [B] craze. [C] hysteria. [D] excitement.3. According to Ericsson, good memory [A] depends on meaningful processing of information. [B] results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercises. [C] is determined by genetic rather than psychological factors. [D] requires immediate feedback and a high degree of concentration.4. Ericsson and his colleagues believe that [A] talent is a dominating factor for professional success. [B] biographical data provide the key to excellent performance. [C] the role of talent tends to be overlooked. [D] high achievers owe their success mostly to nurture.5. Which of the following proverbs is closest to the message the text tries to convey? [A] “Faith will move mountains.” [B] “One reaps what one sows.” [C] “Practice makes perfect.” [D] “Like father, like son.”Unit 14(2007) Part 1试题解析:1.【正确答案】【C】【解析】结构题,题⼲中的“is mentioned to”表明本题是结构题。

考研英语(一)高频重点单词详解—2007年阅读Text 1(上)这是一篇议论文,文章主要论述了人的成就取决于后天培养而非先天遗传。

首先,利用优秀足球运动员的例子引出观点,再Ericsson教授驳斥“人的成就取决于先天遗传”的观点,最后他证明记忆是一种认知行为,可通过刻意练习来培养,最后产生结论——人的成就取决于后天培养而非先天遗传。

(本文作者为中公考研英语指导老师—姜璐璐)2016年考研复习即将进入暑期强化阶段,希望考生能够抓住假期,高效备考。

凯程考研特为广大学子推出2016考研半年集训、暑期集训、精品网课、vip1对1、系列备考专题,针对每一个科目要点进行深入的指导分析,欢迎各位考生了解咨询。

同时,凯程考研还推出了考研直播课堂,足不出户就可以边听课边学习,为大家的强化复习助力!凯程教育:凯程考研成立于2005年,国内首家全日制集训机构考研,一直从事高端全日制辅导,由李海洋教授、张鑫教授、卢营教授、王洋教授、杨武金教授、张释然教授、索玉柱教授、方浩教授等一批高级考研教研队伍组成,为学员全程高质量授课、答疑、测试、督导、报考指导、方法指导、联系导师、复试等全方位的考研服务。

凯程考研的宗旨:让学习成为一种习惯;凯程考研的价值观口号:凯旋归来,前程万里;信念:让每个学员都有好最好的归宿;使命:完善全新的教育模式,做中国最专业的考研辅导机构;激情:永不言弃,乐观向上;敬业:以专业的态度做非凡的事业;服务:以学员的前途为已任,为学员提供高效、专业的服务,团队合作,为学员服务,为学员引路。

如何选择考研辅导班:在考研准备的过程中,会遇到不少困难,尤其对于跨专业考生的专业课来说,通过报辅导班来弥补自己复习的不足,可以大大提高复习效率,节省复习时间,大家可以通过以下几个方面来考察辅导班,或许能帮你找到适合你的辅导班。

师资力量:师资力量是考察辅导班的首要因素,考生可以针对辅导名师的辅导年限、辅导经验、历年辅导效果、学员评价等因素进行综合评价,询问往届学长然后选择。

判断师资力量关键在于综合实力,因为任何一门课程,都不是由一、两个教师包到底的,是一批教师配合的结果。

还要深入了解教师的学术背景、资料著述成就、辅导成就等。

凯程考研名师云集,李海洋、张鑫教授、方浩教授、卢营教授、孙浩教授等一大批名师在凯程授课。

而有的机构只是很普通的老师授课,对知识点把握和命题方向,欠缺火候。

对该专业有辅导历史:必须对该专业深刻理解,才能深入辅导学员考取该校。

在考研辅导班中,从来见过如此辉煌的成绩:凯程教育拿下2015五道口金融学院状元,考取五道口15人,清华经管金融硕士10人,人大金融硕士15个,中财和贸大金融硕士合计20人,北师大教育学7人,会计硕士保录班考取30人,翻译硕士接近20人,中传状元王园璐、郑家威都是来自凯程,法学方面,凯程在人大、北大、贸大、政法、武汉大学、公安大学等院校斩获多个法学和法硕状元,更多专业成绩请查看凯程网站。

在凯程官方网站的光荣榜,成功学员经验谈视频特别多,都是凯程战绩的最好证明。

对于如此高的成绩,凯程集训营班主任邢老师说,凯程如此优异的成绩,是与我们凯程严格的管理,全方位的辅导是分不开的,很多学生本科都不是名校,某些学生来自二本三本甚至不知名的院校,还有很多是工作了多年才回来考的,大多数是跨专业考研,他们的难度大,竞争激烈,没有严格的训练和同学们的刻苦学习,是很难达到优异的成绩。

最好的办法是直接和凯程老师详细沟通一下就清楚了。

建校历史:机构成立的历史也是一个参考因素,历史越久,积累的人脉资源更多。

例如,凯程教育已经成立10年(2005年),一直以来专注于考研,成功率一直遥遥领先,同学们有兴趣可以联系一下他们在线老师或者电话。

有没有实体学校校区:有些机构比较小,就是一个在写字楼里上课,自习,这种环境是不太好的,一个优秀的机构必须是在教学环境,大学校园这样环境。

凯程有自己的学习校区,有吃住学一体化教学环境,独立卫浴、空调、暖气齐全,这也是一个考研机构实力的体现。

此外,最好还要看一下他们的营业执照。
