2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(四)及答案：法学类
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题（四）及答案：法学类 The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems ， and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As on Norwegian politician said last week ： “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”Ever since the war ， the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success ： Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university ， a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south ， and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north ， however. With nearly 100 percent employment ， everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population ， but they are an important part of it ， because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.1.The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to[A] provide more jobs for foreign workers.[B] slow down the rate of its development.[C] sell the oil it is producing abroad.[D] develop more quickly than at present.2.The Norwegian Government has tried to[A] encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources.[B] prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway.[C] help the oil companies solve many of their problems.[D] keep the oil industry to something near its present size.3.According to the passage ， the oil industry might lead northern Norway to[A] the development of industry.[B] a growth in population.[C] the failure of the development programme.[D] the development of new towns.4.In the south ， one effect to the development of the oil industry might be[A] a large reduction on unemployment.[B] a growth in the tourist industry.[C] a reduction in the number of existing industries.[D] the development of a number of service industries.5.Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because[A] they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal.[B] their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal.[C] their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society.[D] they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life.Vocabulary1.Norwegian 挪威的;挪威人2.coastline 海岸线3.recognition 承认;认识;赞赏4.countryside 乡下;乡民难句译注1.A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers.【结构简析】用两个分号连接三句句子。

When Gina Garro and Brian Duplisea adopted 4-month-old Andres from Colombia last month，they were determined to take time off from work to care for him. Six years ago，after their daughter，Melina，was born，the family scraped by on Duplisea's $36，000 salary as a construction worker so Garro，a special-education teacher，could stay home. Now，since Garro's job furnishes the family health insurance，she'll head back to work this fall while Duplisea juggles diapers and baby bottles. His boss agreed to the time off——but he will have to forgo his $18-an-hour pay. It won't be easy. Though Garro's $40，000 salary will cover their mortgage，the couple will have to freeze their retirement accounts，scale back on Melina's after-school activities——and pray that nothing goes wrong with the car. “It takes away from your cushion and your security，”says Garro. “Things will be tight.”The 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act was supposed to help families like Garro's，offering a safety net to employees who want to take time off to nurture newborns，tend to their own major illnesses or care for sick relatives. But while the law guarantees that workers won't lose their jobs，it doesn't cover their paychecks. One survey last year showed that while 24 million Americans had taken leaves since 1999，2.7 million more wanted to，but couldn't afford it. That may change soon. In response to increasing demands from voters，at least 25 states are now exploring new ways to offer paid leave. One possibility：tapping state disability funds. A handful of states——New York，New Jersey，California，Rhode Island and Hawaii——already dip into disability money to offer partial pay for women on maternity leave. But that doesn't help dads or people caring for elderly parents. New Jersey and New York may soon expand disability programs to cover leave for fathers and other caretakers. Thirteen states，including Arizona，Illinois and Florida，have proposed using unemployment funds to pay for leave.Massachusetts has been especially creative. When the state's acting governor，Jane Swift，gave birth to twin daughters in May，she drew attention to the issue with her own “working maternity leave”：she telecommuted part-time but earned her usual full-time salary. Even before Swift returned to work last week，the state Senate unanimously passed a pilot plan that would use surplus funds from a health-insurance program for the unemployed to give new parents 12 weeks off at half pay. Another plan，proposed in the House，would require employers to kick in $20 per worker to set up a “New Families Trust Fund.”Businesses would get tax credits in return. This week Swift is expected to announce her own paid-leave plan for lower-income mothers and fathers. Polls show widespread public support——another reason Swift and other politicians across the country have embraced the issue.Still，not everyone's wild about the idea. People without children question why new parents ——the first group to get paid leave under many of the proposed plans——should get moregovernment perks than they do. Business groups are resistant to proposals that would raid unemployment funds; several have already filed suit to block them. As the economy slows，many companies say they can't afford to contribute to proposed new benefit funds either. Business lobbyists say too many employees already abuse existing federal family-leave laws by taking time off for dubious reasons or in tiny time increments. The proposed laws，they say，would only make matters worse.For Garro and Duplisea，though，the new laws could make all the difference. As Melina fixes a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich，Duplisea hugs a snoozing Andres against his T shirt. “We're trying to do the right thing by two kids，and we have to sacrifice，”Duplisea says. In Massachusetts and plenty of other states，help may be on the way.注(1) 本文选自Newsweek;8/27/2001，V ol. 138 Issue 9，p46，1p，1c注(2) 本文习题命题模仿对象是1997年真题text 1(1，2，3，5题)，第4题模仿1997年真题text 3 的第2题。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（5）Every time Americans tune into local news broadcasts or read daily papers，they are likely to be shocked at the increasing number of serious crimes committed by youths who are only sixteen years old or even younger.It is sometimes difficult to imagine these youngsters behaving like hardened criminals，but statistics continually prove that their crimes are often just as brutal as those committed by their adult counterparts.Inevitably，people begin questioning how successful the juvenile justice system is in reforming these youths and debating whether violent juveniles should be tried as adults in our legal system.I feel there is no question that juveniles convicted of serious crimes should face the same consequences as adults.While the teenage population in the United States has declined over the past decade，violent crimes committed by juveniles have sharply increased.It is common knowledge that the youth murder-arrest rate has climbed dramatically.Examples of teen crime are vivid and terrifying.Newspapers and television frequently report that youths with no apparent motives have shot and killed other people.The effect on both families and society is large.Despite the increase in serious crimes committed by young offenders，the punishment which juveniles receive has traditionally almost never fit the severity of the crimes.Since the system has historically viewed children as not being fully developed，physically or mentally，it has prevented them from being held accountable for their wrongdoing.Although many of these“children”commit horrible crimes，they have been routinely treated as victims of society.Until very recently，1ighter sentences and court proceedings have been the norm.The message they sent to serious juvenile criminals is that crime “pays”because there are no serious consequences for their actions.When the system lacks an element of fear，there is nothing to prevent youthful offenders from committing future crimes.The current trend of assigning adult sentences to youths who commit serious crimes is absolutely just if the punishment is to fit the crime.Most pro-rehabilitation advocates argue that juvenile criminals are completely different from adult ones and should，therefore，be treated differently in the justice system.However，the cost to society is the same regardless of the age of the criminal.What comfort does it give to the family of a killed or injured victim that the person who killed or hurt their loved one was a minor? Families suffer no less because their relatives are shot by young offenders.Instead of treating the loser who murders innocent people like a victim of society，this person should be treated like any other person who victimizes society and causes pain to individuals and communities.Tougher measures must be taken to combat this growing problem of juvenile crime.In today‘s society，too many juveniles count on light sentences given by the juvenile justice wyers can help a vicious criminal receive a short sentence，and return to the streets tocommit more crimes.When there are no harsh consequences of being caught，committing crimes can be perceived as having positive benefits.As a result，juveniles are continuing to become more violent and 1ess concerned with the value of human life.Rehabilitation，recommended by many as the solution to juvenile crime，should be directed only towards youths who have committed minor offenses.However，the juveniles who commit serious crimes should be tried as adults.A message has to be sent that we will no longer tolerate brutal crimes simply because of the age of the criminal.These youths must be held completely accountable for their crimes，suffering harsh consequences and ultimately realizing that they are no longer protected by the law.1.It can be inferred that juvenile criminals are those____.[A]who are under the age of 16 years old[B]who are not accountable for the crimes they commit[C]who can not tell major crimes from minor crimes[D]who are more likely to become victims of the society2.That violent juvenile crimes are on the rise is manifested by the fact that____.[A]penalty for juvenile criminals is becoming more and more serious[B]the society can no longer tolerate juvenile crimes[C]youth murder-arrest rate has dramatically increased[D]the young population has increased in the last ten years3.The reason why young people are becoming increasingly violent is that____.[A]the older they become，the stronger they are[B]they receive lighter punishment than they should[C]they do not know the value of human life[D]there is now too much violence in newspaper and on television4.According to the author，one reason why violent juvenile criminals should suffer the same fate as their adult counterparts is that____.[A]there are as many juvenile crimes as adult crimes[B]they have done equivalent injuries to the victim or the society[C]they are clearly aware of what they are doing at the time of offence[D]no other penalty can prevent them from committing future crimes5.Pro-rehabilitation advocates insist that____.[A]rehabilitation be directed only towards youths who commit minor crimes[B]stricter sentences be given only to youths who commit brutal crimes[C]a different justice system be applied to minors since they are not fully developed[D]minors be held completely responsible for any kind of crimes they commit答案与题解1.[A] 参阅第一段第一句。
2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析
2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析2017年考研英语考试已经结束!店铺考研网在考后第一时间为大家提供2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析，更多考研资讯请关注我们网站的更新!2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析大家也做了题，也发现今年题目并没有传说中那么难，四篇阅读理解前面三篇中等，不是很难。
第四篇和法律有关的文章大家觉得有点难度。
我今年也去考试了，这就是我的证据。
但是我的反面抄了一些答案，当然有些监考不让抄答案，我很潦草地抄了一些，想看它的难度和我们平常所学的能否挂钩。
前三篇不难，第四篇难度和法律相关，有点像2013年的地四篇文章。
其实这篇文章我刚才查了一下原版出处是CNN里的，推翻了弗吉尼亚前州长贪污罪，他是无辜的。
都是英国美国文章居多。
美国有三篇文章。
第一篇是美国机场安检特别浪费时间。
今年特点是有七八个自然段，不是往年一样四五个自然段。
第一道题，这是一个力争题，往年考题也这么说，通过所谓关键词定位方法无效，一定要把握主要内容是讲什么。
这是讲我们目前为什么有必要进行严格的安全检查。
因为埃及航空公司受到了恐怖袭击，在地中海上空受到恐怖主义袭击。
所以现在要严格安检。
这道词选解释作用。
第二题是上面哪个能够解释为什么美国机场排队队伍很长很长。
这道题文章里给了好几个解释。
第一个原因是因为我们现在经济比较好，机票比较便宜，所以很多人愿意排队。
大家都愿意坐飞机，不愿意开车、不愿意坐火车。
导致排队队伍很长。
第二个原因是有些人要打包，第三段里说的，包裹需要检查，有些人打了好多包，为了逃避托运费。
导致排队比较长。
还有一个这里所说的安检效率降低。
但是我们按照前面的最重要的原因，还是因为美国政府没有注意到现在出行坐飞机的人增多了，导致速度减慢。
这是我们飞机出行人员增加。
23题是猜词题，我们不管上基础课、强化课还是单向课，有我的模糊阅读班，猜词题不能相信所谓构词法，按照EX这个单词是出去的意思。
这里EX给人错觉是出去的意思，但是根据上下文是希望安检越快越好。

OnePart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1Not long after the telephone was invented,I assume,a call was placed.The caller was a parent saying,“your child is bullying my child,and I want it stopped!”The bully's parent replied,“you must have the wrong number.My child is a little angel.”A trillion phone calls later,the conversation is the same.When children are teased or tyrannized,the parental impulse is to grab the phone and rant.But these days,as studies in the U.S.show bullying on the rise and parental supervision on the decline,researchers who study bullying say that calling moms and dads is more futile than ever.Such calls often lead to playground recriminations and don't really teach our kids any lessons about how to navigate the world and resolve conflicts.When you call parents,you want them to“extract the cruelty”from their bullying children,says Laura Kavesh,a child psychologist in Evanston,Illinois.“But many parents are blown away by the idea of their child being cruel.They won t believe it.”In a recent police department survey in Oak Harbor,Washington,89%of local high school students said they had engaged in bullying behavior.Yet only18%of parents thought their children would act as bullies.In a new U.S.PTA survey,5%of parents support contacting other parents to deal with bullying.But many educators warn that those conversations can be misinterpreted,causing tempers to flare.Instead,they say,parents should get objective outsiders,like principals,to mediate.Meanwhile,if you get a call from a parent who is angry about your child's bullying,listen without getting defensive.That's what Laura McHugh of Castro Valley,California,did when a caller told her that her then13-year-old son had spit in another boy's food.Her son had confessed,but the victim's mom“wanted to make sure my son hadn't given her son a nasty disease,”says McHugh,who apologized and promised to get her son tested for AIDS and other diseases.She knew the chance of contracting any disease this way was remote,but her promise calmed the mother and showed McHugh's son that his bad behaviour was being taken seriously.McHugh,founder of Parents Coach Kids,a group that teaches parenting skills, sent the mom the test results.All were negative.Remember:once you make a call,you might not like what you hear.If you have an itchy dialing finger,resist temptation.Put it in your pocket.［419words］1.The word“bullying”probably

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(二十)及答案：法学类
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题（二十）及答案：法学类 The existence of both racial and sexual discrimination in employment is well documented ，and policymakers and responsible employers are particularly sensitive to the plight of the black female employee on the theory that she isdoubly the victim of discrimination.That there exist differences in income between whites and blacks is clear ，but it is not so clear that these differences are solely the result of racial discrimination in employment.The two groups differ in productivity ，so basic economics dictates that their incomes will differ.To obtain a true measure of the effect of racial discrimination in employment it is necessary to adjust the gross black/white income ratio for these productivity factors.White women in urban areas have a higher educational level than black women and can be expected to receive larger incomes.Moreover ，State distribution of residence is important because blacks are overrepresented in the South ，where wage rates are typically lower than elsewhere and where racial differentials inincome are greater.Also ，blacks are over-represented in large cities ，and incomes of blacks would be greater if blacks were distributed among cities of different sizes in the same manner as whites.After standardization for the productivity factors ，the income of black urban women is estimated to be between 108 and 125 percent of the income of white women.This indicates that productivity factors more than account for the actualwhite/black income differential for women.Despite their greater education ，white women’s actual average income is only 2 to 5 percent higher than that of black women in the North.Unlike the situation of men ，the evidence indicates that the money income of black urban women was as great as ，or greater than ，that of whites of similar productivity in the North ，and probably in the United States as a whole.At least two possible hypotheses may explain why the adjustment forproductivity more than accounts for the observed income differential forwomen.First ，there may be more discrimination against black men than against black women.The different occupational structures for men and women give some indication why this could be the case.Second ，the data are consistent with the hypothesis that the intensity of discrimination against women differs little between whites and blacks.Therefore ，racial discrimination adds little to effects of existing sex discrimination.These findings suggest that a black woman does not necessarily suffer relatively more discrimination in the labor market than does a whitewoman.Rather ，for women ，the effects of sexual discrimination are so pervasive that the effects of racial discrimination are negligible.1.The primary purpose of the passage is to____.[A] explain the reasons for the existence of income differentials between men and women[B] show that racial discrimination against black women in employment is less important than sexual discrimination[C] explore the ways in which productivity factors influence the earning power of black workers[D] sketch a history of racial and sexual discrimination against black and female workers in the labor market2.The difference between income levels for black and white women is____.[A] less than that for black and white men[B] greater than that for black and white men[C] greater since black women are subject to more discrimination[D] smaller since women can only do low-paying jobs3.Which of the following best describes the logical relationship between the two hypotheses presented in the fourth paragraph?[A] They may both be true since each phenomenon could contribute to the observed differential.[B] They are contradictory ，and if one is proved to be correct ，the other is proved incorrect.[C] They are independent of each other ，and it is hard to establish anyrelationship between them.[D] The two hypotheses are logically connected so that it is impossible to prove either one to be true without also proving the other to be true.4.If the second hypothesis mentioned by the author is correct ，a general lessening of discrimination against women should lead to a(n) ____.[A] higher white/black income ratio for women[B] lower white/black income ratio for women[C] lower female/male income ratio[D] increase in the productivity of women5.The author’s attitude toward racial and sexual discrimination inemployment is one of____.[A] apology[B] concern[C] indifference[D] indignation参考答案：1.[B] 文章最后一段是作者的结论，这段提到两个假设，一是对男性黑人的歧视可能比对女性黑人的歧视更严重;二是对妇女的歧视在黑人和白人之间没有多大区别。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：教育类（10）There was a time when big-league university presidents really mattered. The New York Times covered their every move. Presidents，the real ones，sought their counsel. For Woodrow Wilson and Dwight Eisenhower，being head of Princeton and Columbia，respectively，was a stepping-stone to the White House. Today，though，the job of college president is less and less removed from that of the Avon lady (except the house calls are made to the doorsteps of wealthy alums)。
Ruth Simmons，the newly installed president of Brown University and the first African American to lead an Ivy League school，is a throwback to the crusading campus leaders of old. She doesn't merely marshal funds; she invests them in the great educational causes of our day. With the more than $300 million she raised as president of Smith College from 1995 to 2001，Simmons established an engineering program (the first at any women's school) and added seminars focused on public speaking to purge the ubiquitous “likes”and “ums”from the campus idiom. At a meeting to discuss the future of Smith's math department，one professor timidly requested two more discussion sections for his course. Her response：“Dream bigger.”Her own dream was born in a sharecropper's shack in East Texas where there was no money for books or toys——she and her 11 siblings each got an apple，an orange and 10 nuts for Christmas. Though she was called on her walk to school，entering the classroom，she says，“was like waking up.”When Simmons won a scholarship to Dillard University，her high school teachers took up a collection so she'd have a coat. She went on to Harvard to earn a Ph.D. in Romance languages.Simmons has made diversity her No. 1 campus crusade. She nearly doubled the enrollment of black freshmen at Smith，largely by traveling to high schools in the nation's poorest ZIP codes to recruit. Concerned with the lives of minority students once they arrive at school，she has fought to ease the racial standoffs that plague so many campuses. At Smith she turned down a request by students to have race-specific dorms. In 1993，while vice provost at Princeton，she wrote a now famous report recommending that the university establish an office of conflict resolution to defuse racial misunderstandings before they boiled over.Her first task at Brown will be to heal one such rupture last spring after the student paper published an incendiary ad by conservative polemicist David Horowitz arguing that blacks economically benefited from slavery. “There's no safe ground for anybody in race relations，but campuses，unlike any other institution in our society，provide the opportunity to cross racial lines，”says Simmons. “And even if you're hurt，you can't walk away.

Text 1A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys. People art actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people's cortisol ， which is it at stress marker，while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom， we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home，” writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske，In fact women say they feel better a t work. She notes. “it is men not women. Who report being happier at home than at work，” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children without， but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they' re at home， whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men，the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home， they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home， they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles， and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women， it' s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it's not just a gender thing. At work， people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing： working， making money， doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure： Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front， however， people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done， there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it， or if they' re teenagers，threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus， they' re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite， the co-workers are much harder to motivate.21.According to Paragraph 1，most previous surveys found that home ______.[A]was an unrealistic place for relaxation[B]generated more stress than the workplace[C]was an ideal place for stress measurement[D]offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.According to Damaske， who are likely to be the happiest at home?[A]Working mothers[B]Childless husbands[C] Childless wives[D]Working fathers23 The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact that ______.[A]they are both bread winners and housewives[B]their home is also a place for kicking back[C]there is often much housework left behind[D]it is difficult for them to leave their office24.The word“moola”(Line 4，Para 4)most probably means ______.[A]energy[B]skills[C]earnings[D]nutrition25.The home front differs from the workplace in that ______.[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C]household tasks are generally more motivating[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded【参考答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 24. C 25. B【主要内容】本文主要讲述工作环境压力问题。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（22）Few lawyers did more to help George W. Bush become president than Barry Richard. As Bush's quarterback in the Florida courts during last fall's bruising recount，the white-maned Tallahassee，Fla.，litigator became a familiar figure to TV audiences. He got the GOP equivalent of rock-star treatment when he came to Washington last January for Bush's Inauguration. At one ball，recalls law partner Fred Baggett，a heavyset Texas woman lifted Richard off the floor and planted a big kiss on his cheek，exclaiming，“I love you for giving us our president!”But Richard has discovered that the Bushies' gratitude has its limits. More than four months after the U.S. Supreme Court ended the 2000 election，he and his firm，Greenberg Traurig，are still owed more than $800，000 in legal fees. The firm，which sent 39 lawyers and 13 paralegals into court battles all over the state，is one of a dozen that have so far been stiffed. The estimated total tab：more than $2 million. The situation，NEWSWEEK has learned，has gotten increasingly sticky. While lawyers complain privately about foot dragging (Richard says he's not among them)，Bush advisers are griping about “astronomical”bills——including one from a litigator who charged for more than 24 hours of work in a single day. “What you've got here is a bunch of rich lawyers bellyaching，”says one former Bush campaign official. “Yet these guys got huge in-kind contributions to their reputations out of this.”The lawyers were supposed to get their money from the Bush Recount Committee， a fund-raising vehicle set up when the Florida fight began. A nebulous entity not legally required to disclose how it spent its money，the committee and its chief fund-raiser，Texas oilman (and now Commerce secretary) Don Evans，swiftly collected $8.3 million——more than twice the $3.9 million Al Gore's recount committee raised to pay its lawyers. To avoid charges that the recount was being bankrolled by special interests，the Bushies imposed a $5，000 cap on individual donations，a PR gesture they now regret. After paying off caterers，air charters and the army of GOP Hill types who came to Florida as “observers，”the “kitty ran dry，”says one source.The Bush camp says it intends to pay up. But Ben Ginsberg，the former chief campaign counsel who has inherited the mess，hasn't yet figured out how. As for the law firms，they are taking pains not to alienate their deadbeat clients，for fear of damaging their burgeoning Washington lobbying practices. Greenberg Traurig now represents electric power companies，drug manufacturers and Internet gambling interests willing to pay big money for access to policymakers. Whether Richard and company collect or not，that $800，000 could end up being a smart investment.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek; 04/23/2001，V ol. 137 Issue 17，p28，2/3p，1c注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象是1995年真题text 3(1，2，3，5题)，第4题模仿1995年真题text 4 的第1题。
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(十三)及答案：法学类
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题（十三）及答案：法学类 “This is not the type of place where this happens，” city council presidentGeorge Carlton told a reporter ， after the horror became public in his hometown ， Sylacauga ， Ala. He echoed what was said in Jasper ， Texas ， a year ago. Few people then had ever heard of Jasper. A week ago ， even fewer could have pointed out Sylacauga on a map. A tiny city of 13，000， halfway between Birmingham and Montgomery ， Sylacauga was known for its white marble quarries ， textile mills and ice-cream factory. But last week Sylacauga ， like Jasper ， became a chapter in the recent history of hatred.According to police ， Steven Eric Mullins ， 25， and Charles Monroe Butler Jr.， 21， plotted for two weeks to murder Billy Jack Gaither ， 39. On Feb. 19， they arranged to meet him at a Sylacauga bar and lured him to a secluded area. There they beat him and dumped him into the trunk of his car. They then drove about 15 miles to Peckerwood Creek in Coosa County. There ， says Coosa County Sheriff's Deputy Al Bradley ， “they took him out of the trunk， took an ax handle and beat him to death.” They set two old tires aflame， says Bradley ， “then they put the body on the fire.” They did it all， the deputy says ， because Gaither was gay. Gaither's death has become a rallying point for gay-rights organizations' and state legislators' pushing a bill that would extend Alabama's three-year-oldhate-crimes law beyond race ， color ， religion and national origin to cover crimesrelated to sexual orientation as well. “It's unfortunate that somebody had to lose his life in order for this legislation to pick up momentum here in the state ofAlabama ，” says state Representative Alvin Holmes， who failed to get the original law amended when it was passed in 1996. Holmes filed for extending the law after Matthew Shepard ， a gay student ， was beaten and left to die on a fence inWyoming last October ， an incident that sparked national outrage. Even Wyoming failed to pass hate-crime legislation in the wake of the Shepard lynching. LikeShepard ， Gaither did not hesitate to admit being gay ， though he adhered quietly to Sylacauga's Southern dispositions. And friends dispute Mullins' and Butler's allegations that a sexual proposition incited the murder. Gaither's brother Randy told CNN ： “Regardless of his personal life or anything， he doesn't deserve to be killed for this.”“The message people are getting is that gay people are second -class citizens ，” says Tracey Conaty ， spokesperson for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Before Gaither's murder ， activists were planning a major national pro-gay offensive. From March 21 to March 27， the task force will launch its “Equality Begins at Home” campaign， with 250 grass-roots events in all 50 states aimed at passing anti-gay-bashing legislation. Says Conaty ： “These laws reflect theconscience of a community and send an important message.” The March events， says Urvashi Vaid ， director of the task force's policy institute ， will involve straightpeople concerned about neighbors denied basic human rights. Adds Vaid ： “It's more than just a gay thing.”注(1)：本文选自By Sylvester Monroe Time; 03/15/99， Vol. 153 Issue 10， p47， 2/3p ， 3c ， 1bw注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2003年真题 Text 41.

Technology is a two-edged sword. Rarely is this as clear as it is in the realm of health care. Technology allows doctors to test their patients for genetic defects——and then to turn around and spread the results throughout the world via the Internet. For someone in need of treatment，that's good news. But for someone in search of a job or an insurance policy，the tidings can be all bad.Last week President Bill Clinton proposed a corollary to the patients' bill of rights now before Congress：a right to medical privacy. Beginning in 2002，under rules set to become law in February，patients would be able to stipulate the conditions under which their personal medical data could be divulged. They would be able to examine their records and make corrections. They could learn who else had seen the information. Improper use of records by a caregiver or insurer could result in both civil and criminal penalties. The plan was，said Clinton，“an unprecedented step toward putting Americans back in control of their own medical records.”While the administration billed the rules as an attempt to strike a balance between the needs of consumers and those of the health-care industry，neither doctors nor insurance companies were happy. The doctors said the rules could actually erode privacy，pointing to a provision allowing managed-care plans to use personal information without consent if the purpose was “health-care operations.”That，physicians said，was a loophole through which HMOs and other insurers could pry into the doctor-patient relationship，in the name of assessing the quality of care. Meanwhile，the insurers protested that the rules would make them vulnerable to lawsuits. They were especially disturbed by a provision holding them liable for privacy breaches by “business partners”such as lawyers and accountants. Both groups agreed that privacy protections would drive up the cost of health care by at least an additional $3.8 billion，and maybe much more，over the next five years. They also complained about the increased level of federal scrutiny required by the new rules' enforcement provisions.One aim of the rules is to reassure patients about confidentiality，thereby encouraging them to be open with their doctors. Today various cancers and sexually transmitted diseases can go untreated because patients are afraid of embarrassment or of losing insurance coverage. The fear is real：Clinton aides noted that a January poll by Princeton Survey Research Associates found that one in six U.S. adults had at some time done something unusual to conceal medical information，such as paying cash for services.注(1)：本文选自By EV AN THOMAS Newsweek; 11/08/99，Vol. 134 Issue 19，p67，1/2p，1c注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2003年真题text 21.

According to the proposal made by President Clinton，patients will be able to do the following EXCEPT _____________.[A] enjoy more rights to their medical records[B] be open with their doctors[C] decide how to use their medical information[D] sue their insurers for improper use of their medical records3. Doctors tend to think that the rules _____________.[A] may ruin doctor-patient relationship[B] can do more harm than good[C] will prevent doctors from doing medical research[D] will end up in more health care cost and poorer medical service4.

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(六)及答案：法学类
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题（六）及答案：法学类 On Tuesday evening ， the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act on a voice vote. This is a simple ， three-paragraph bill that would codify ， for federal law purposes ， the traditional definition of “born alive.” Specifically ， under the bill ， the terms “person，” “human being，” “child” and “individual，” whenever they appear in federal laws or regulations， will be construed to include “every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive.” The term “born alive” is then defined as “complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother ，” followed by a heartbeat， respiration ， or movement of voluntary muscles.This is the legal definition already incorporateed in the laws of most states.At 7：39 p.m. Tuesday ， the Associated Press bureau in Washington sent out a dispatch that began ， “The House voted Tuesday to define a fetus that is fully outside a woman‘s body as having been ’born alive，‘ which would give the fetus full legal protection.” The term “fetus” was employed repeatedlythroughout the rest of the dispatch.Quickly ， I and at least one other reader pointed out to the AP editor on duty that “fetus” is not an appropriate or accurate term to apply to a human infant who is entirely born and alive. If an infant is born alive prematurely ， then the proper term would be “premature infant” or “premature baby，”not “fetus.” Sometimesinduction of labor is used as a method of abortion ， and sometimes this results in a live birth. This is sometimes referred to as a “live birth abortion.” On occasion， other abortion methods also result in live births. But a premature infant is apremature infant —and a legally protected person —regardless of how he or she reached that state.Regrettably ， the AP did not correct its error. Instead AP editors compounded the original error bytransmitting updates that contained this statement ： “The legislation is aimed at an abortion procedure critics call ‘pa rtial-birth’ in which a fetus is partiallydelivered before being destroyed. Thirty states and the District of Columbia already have laws against the procedure.”In fact ， the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act does not restrict partial-birth abortion. In a partial-birthabortion ， the fetus/baby is mostly delivered but the head remains in the womb while the skull is punctured —hence the name ， PARTIAL-birth.The fetus/baby destroyed in a PARTIAL-birth abortion has not achieved the“complete extraction or expulsion from his or her mother” required to be “born alive”under H.R. 2175. Moreover， the laws that the AP refers to are laws that define “live birth，” not laws restricting partial -birth abortion. According to the House Judiciary subcommittee that H.R. 2175 ha ve codified the definition of “livebirth” for their state -law purposes ， and of these ， 30 states and D.C. have codified definitions virtually identical tothose contained in H.R. 2175. (D.C. has never enacted a restriction on partial-birth abortion.)Reading Comprehension1. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?[A] A new bill has been passed by the Home.[B] The bill would be codified.[C] The term “born alive” has a new definition.[D] There are many debates about the bill.2. What did the author probably mean by his saying ， “This is the legal definition already incorporated in the laws of most states.”?[A] The bill should come earlier.[B] A lot of states have already adopted the definition in their laws.[C] It will affect the federal laws.[D] Both B and C.3. Read paragraph 4 carefully and then point out that why did the author think that “fetus” is not a fitted word to describe that especially situation?[A] An infant is alive but a fetus is not.[B] The word “fetus” is not an accurate ter m.[C] When you use the word “fetus”， there is something discrimination in your talk.[D] “Fetus” is not considered as a real person but when you use the word “infant” to describe someone he or she is a real one who alive.4. According to your understanding ， what does partial-birth mean?[A] It indicated the situation that an infant was failed to born.[B] A method of abortion.[C] An unsuccessful born of a child.[D] Dystocia.5. What did the Associated Press think about the live-born human infant ?[A] They thought that the live-born human infant was still a fetus.[B] They didn‘t think that the live -born human infant was still a fetus.[C] They have no idea about the definition of a live-born human infant.[D] They thought it was bloody to use the partial-born method to the fetus. 答案与题解1. [C] 仔细阅读文中第一段可以发现，该段讲述国会通过新法案重点是从法案的影响上来谈的。

Since 1975 advocates of humane treatment of animals have broadened their goals to oppose the use of animals for fur，leather，wool and food.They have moaned protests against all forms of hunting and the trapping of animals in the wild.And they have joined environmentalists in urging protection of natural habitats from commercial or residential development.The occasion for these added emphases was the publication in 1975 of Animal Liberation：A New Ethics for Our Treatment ofAnimals by Peter Singer，formerly a professor ofphUosophy at Oxford University in England.This book gave a new impetus to the animal rights movement.The post 1 975 animal rights activists are far more vocal than theirpredecessors，and the organizations to which they belong are generally more radical.Many new organizations are formed.The tactics of the activists are designed to catch the attention of the public.Since the mid 1 980s there have been frequent newsreports about animal rights organizations picketing stores that sell furs，harassing hunters in the wild，or breaking into laboratories to free animals.Some of the more extreme organizations advocate the use of assault，armed terrorism，and death threats to make their point.Aside from making isolated attacks on people who wear fur coats or trying to prevent hunters from killing animals，most of the organizations have directed their tactics at institutions.The results of the protests and other tactics have been panies are reducing reliance on animal testing.Medical research has been somewhat curtailed by legal restrictions and the reluctance of younger workers to use animals in research.New tests have been developed to replace the use of animals.Some well—known designers have stopped using fur.While the general public tends to agree that animals should be treated humanely，most people are unlikely to give up eating meat or wearing goods made from leather and wool. Giving up genuine fur has become less of a problem，since fibers used to makefake fur such as the Japanese invention Kanecaron can look almost identical to real fur.Some of the strongest opposition to the animal rights movement has come from hunters and their organizations.But animal rights activists have succeeded in marshaling public opinion to press for state restrictions on hunting in several parts of the nation.1.1 975 was an important year in the history of animal treatment because[A]many people began to call for humane treatment of animals that year[B]a new book was published that broadened the animal rights movement[C]the environmentalists began to show interest in animal protection[D]the trapping of animals began to go wild all through the world2.Some animal rights organizations advocate the use of extreme means in order to[A]wipe out cruel people [B]stop using animals in the laboratory[C]attack hunters in the wild [D]catch full public attention3.By saying“the results ofthe protests and other tactics have been mixed”(Line 1，Para.3)，the author means[A]the protest and other tactics have produced desired effects[B]the protest and other tactics almost amounted to nothing[C]the protest and other tactics have some influence on the public[D]the protest and other tactics have proved to be too radical4.The word“marshaling”(Line 5，Para.4)probably means[A]conducting [B]popularizing [C]changing [D]outraging5.It seems that the author ofthis article[A]is strongly opposed to the animal rights movement[B]is in favor ofthe animal rights movement[C]supports the use of violence in animal protection[D]hatestheuse offakefurfor clothes核心词汇advocate n.提倡者philosophy n.哲学predecessor n.前辈tactics n.策略identical adj.同样的oppose vt.反对impetus.促进radicaladj.激进的reliance n.依赖publication .出版vocaladj.有声的assault n.攻击fake adj.假的号召人道对待动物的倡导者们从1975年起将自己的目标扩大到反对利用动物来获取毛皮、皮革、毛织品和食品的行为。
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(一)及答案：法学类
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题（一）及答案：法学类 Vicious and Dangerous Sports Should be Banned by LawWhen you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speakcontemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies ofslaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don’t the spectators who attend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remains as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungey lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings or bearbaiting.It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Let usnot deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweightchampionship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture and violence.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally - admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, or publicfloggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banneddangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.1. It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s opinion ofnowadays’ human beings is[A] not very high.[B] high.[C] contemptuous.[D] critical.2. The main idea of this passage is[A] vicious and dangerous sports should be banned by law.[B] people are willing to pay vast sums money to see violence.[C] to compare two different attitudes towards dangerous sports.[D] people are bloodthirsty in sports.3. That the author mentions the old Romans is[A] To co mpare the old Romans with today’s people.[B] to give an example.[C] to show human beings in the past know nothing better.[D] to indicate human beings are used to bloodthirsty.4. How many dangerous sports does the author mention in this passage?[A] Three.[B] Five.[C] Six.[D] Seven.5. The purpose of the author in writing this passage is[A] that, by banning the violent sports, we human beings can improve our selves.[B] that, by banning the dangerous sports, we can improve the law.[C] that we must take positive steps to improve social welfare system.[D] to show law is the main instrument of social change.Vocabulary1.relish 从……获得乐处，享受y 狂欢，放纵3.arena 竞技场，活动或斗争的场所4.blood-thirsty 残忍的，嗜血的5.bear-baiting 逗熊游戏6.bull-fight 斗牛7.batter 猛击，连续地猛打/捶，乱打8.pulp 成纸浆，成软块9.burst into flames 突然燃烧起来/着火10.grim 令人窒息的，简陋的11.coop up 把……关起来写作方法与文章大意作者采取先对比、后分析的写作手法。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（14）One of the most exciting and enriching experiences a person can have is that of living abroad.Whether one spends a year away or many，living abroad is the first opportunity one has to stand on the outside of one‘s country and look in，to compare cultures，procedures，mentalities，etc.We’in the U.S.A.do very little REAL travelling abroad，much less living，and this bent toward isolation is probably detrimental to us in the long run.Living abroad，however，works better when it is a choice and not an obligation.I know of several cases in which a few people were persuaded by others that the solutions to their domestic problems lay in living abroad.In these cases，it was the wrong advice.These people were，for the most part，like fish out of the bowl and overall，everything went wrong and only a few things right.What country and what part of the world should one choose ? Here，personal interests and/or curiosity enter the picture.Additionally，one need not think in terms of a single country but two or three.It is easier.of course，to get in and out of a“Western World”or“Christian”country since these usually share our sense of values，also，a country traditionally and firmly considered a political ally is an option.such as Japan.Even it is fairly“westernized”。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（6）For hundreds of years，the criminal law has been built around the idea that wrongdoers must be punished for their crimes.The most basic argument for punishment is that it preserves law and order and respects for authority.From this point of view，punishment does two things.It upholds the law，and it prevents others from thinking they can get away with doing the same thing without punishment.Punishment is based on the idea that many people have a barely controlled desire to act in forbidden ways.One of the best ways to reduce crime is to reform or rehabilitate habitual criminals.The main problem is not the first offender or the petty thief but the repeated offender who commits increasingly serious crimes.According to criminologists，crime would decrease greatly if all such offenders could be turned away from wrongdoing.But U.S.prisons have had little success in rehabilitating inmates.About two-thirds of the people arrested in any year have a previous criminal record.Rehabilitation of criminals could probably be improved greatly if experts could provide the right kind of program for different types of offenders.Criminals vary widely in the kinds of crimes they commit，their emotional problems，and their social and economic backgrounds.Not all offenders can be helped by the same treatment.Many require the aid of physicians，psychiatrists，or psychologists.Others respond well to educational or vocational training.In the early 1990s，there were about 1，300，000 criminals in U.S.city，county，state，and federal correctional institutions，and about 500，000 more were out on parole.Society spent more than $15 billion to operate prisons and related institutions yearly，but only a small part of this sum went to provide treatment.Nearly all the funds were used to feed and clothe prisoners and to keep them under control.Since the 1ate 1970s，however，there has been a trend toward punishment rather than rehabilitation of offenders.Prison sentences are longer.Capital punishments have been used more frequently since the U.S.Supreme Court lifted a death penalty ban in 1976.Nevertheless，crime prevention should aim to prevent people from becoming criminals in the first place.Such a goal probably would benefit from reform programs in urban slums.These programs would include improved housing，schools，and recreation programs and increased job opportunities.There are many other ways to reduce crime.People can be educated or persuaded to take greater precautions against crime.They can be taught，for example，how to protect their homes from burglary.Automobile thefts would drop sharply if drivers removed their keys and locked their cars when leaving them.Better lighting helps discourage purse-snatchings and other robberies on city streets and in parks.Many experts believe that strict gun-licensing laws would greatly reduce crime.1.The belief that people tend to behave in forbidden ways____.[A] leads to the formulation of the criminal law[B] makes people value order above all else[C] convinces people that crimes should be eliminated from the society[D]is a false one that should not be taken seriously2.In the second paragraph the author implies____.[A] the U.S.prison system is not working effectively enough to reform criminals[B] the best way to reduce crime rate is to rehabilitate habitual criminals[C] reforming criminals in prison will turn them away from wrongdoing[D] crimes would decrease if people‘s desire could be healthily channeled3.The author speculates that rehabilitation can be made more effective if____.[A] reform is directed to the criminals‘emotional problems[B] rehabilitation is aimed at changing the economic and social environment[C] rehabilitation is facilitated by physicians，psychiatrists or psychologists[D] crimes are dealt with in the ways that suit each kind4.According to the author，punishment is a better means than rehabilitation in reducing crime rate____.[A] so it should be used in place of rehabilitation[B] so stricter sentences are absolutely necessary[C] yet it does not work well in many cases[D] but preventing crime is even more effective5. The author concludes the passage by pointing out that____.[A] the present gun-licensing laws are held responsible for most of the crimes[B] educational failure accounts for most of the present offences[C] more help should be provided for released criminals[D] the long-term reduction of crime rate depends on multiple improvements参考答案：1.[A]意为：导致刑法的制定。
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(十一)及答案：法学类
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题（十一）及答案：法学类 By almost every measure ， Paul Pfingst is an unsentimental prosecutor. Last week the San Diego County district attorney said he fully intends to try suspect Charles Andrew Williams ， 15， as an adult for the Santana High School shootings. Even before the tragedy ， Pfingst had stood behind the controversial California law that mandates treating murder suspects as young as 14 as adults.So nobody would have wagered that Pfingst would also be the first D.A. in the U.S. to launch his very own Innocence Project. Yet last June ， Pfingst told hisattorneys to go back over old murder and rape convictions and see if any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools. In other words ， he wanted to revisit past victories ——this time playing for the other team. “I think people misunderstand being conservative for being biased ，” says Pfingst. “I consider myself a pragmatic guy ， and I have no interest in putting innocent people in jail.”Around the U.S.， flabbergasted defense attorneys and their jailed clients cheered his move. Among prosecutors ， however ， there was an awkward pause. After all ， each DNA test costs as much as $5，000. Then there's the unspoken risk ： if dozens of innocents turn up ， the D.A. will have indicted his shop.But nine months later ， no budgets have been busted or prosecutors ousted. Only the rare case merits review. Pfingst's team considers convictions before 1993， when the city started routine DNA testing. They discard cases if the defendant hasbeen released. Of the 560 remaining files ， they have re-examined 200， looking for cases with biological evidence and defendants who still claim innocence.They have identified three so far. The most compelling involves a man serving 12 years for molesting a girl who was playing in his apartment. But others were there at the time. Police found a small drop of saliva on the victim's shirt ——too small a sample to test in 1991. Today that spot could free a man. Test results are due any day. Inspired by San Diego ， 10 other counties in the U.S. are starting DNA audits.注(1)本文选自Time; 03/19/2001， Vol. 157 Issue 11， p62， 1p ， 2c ， 3bw 注(2)本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题text 1.1.

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（22）Few lawyers did more to help George W. Bush become president than Barry Richard. As Bush's quarterback in the Florida courts during last fall's bruising recount，the white-maned Tallahassee，Fla.，litigator became a familiar figure to TV audiences. He got the GOP equivalent of rock-star treatment when he came to Washington last January for Bush's Inauguration. At one ball，recalls law partner Fred Baggett，a heavyset Texas woman lifted Richard off the floor and planted a big kiss on his cheek，exclaiming，“I love you for giving us our president!”But Richard has discovered that the Bushies' gratitude has its limits. More than four months after the U.S. Supreme Court ended the 2000 election，he and his firm，Greenberg Traurig，are still owed more than $800，000 in legal fees. The firm，which sent 39 lawyers and 13 paralegals into court battles all over the state，is one of a dozen that have so far been stiffed. The estimated total tab：more than $2 million. The situation，NEWSWEEK has learned，has gotten increasingly sticky. While lawyers complain privately about foot dragging (Richard says he's not among them)，Bush advisers are griping about “astronomical”bills——including one from a litigator who charged for more than 24 hours of work in a single day. “What you've got here is a bunch of rich lawyers bellyaching，”says one former Bush campaign official. “Yet these guys got huge in-kind contributions to their reputations out of this.”The lawyers were supposed to get their money from the Bush Recount Committee， a fund-raising vehicle set up when the Florida fight began. A nebulous entity not legally required to disclose how it spent its money，the committee and its chief fund-raiser，Texas oilman (and now Commerce secretary) Don Evans，swiftly collected $8.3 million——more than twice the $3.9 million Al Gore's recount committee raised to pay its lawyers. To avoid charges that the recount was being bankrolled by special interests，the Bushies imposed a $5，000 cap on individual donations，a PR gesture they now regret. After paying off caterers，air charters and the army of GOP Hill types who came to Florida as “observers，”the “kitty ran dry，”says one source.The Bush camp says it intends to pay up. But Ben Ginsberg，the former chief campaign counsel who has inherited the mess，hasn't yet figured out how. As for the law firms，they are taking pains not to alienate their deadbeat clients，for fear of damaging their burgeoning Washington lobbying practices. Greenberg Traurig now represents electric power companies，drug manufacturers and Internet gambling interests willing to pay big money for access to policymakers. Whether Richard and company collect or not，that $800，000 could end up being a smart investment.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek; 04/23/2001，V ol. 137 Issue 17，p28，2/3p，1c注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象是1995年真题text 3(1，2，3，5题)，第4题模仿1995年真题text 4 的第1题。
1. The word “quarterback”(Line 2，Para. 2) most probably means ______________.[A] supporter[B] counsel[C] assistant[D] adviser2. The main problem Richard is facing now is __________________.[A] the ingratitude of the Bushies[B] the complaints of his law partners[C] the unpaid bills[D] Bush advisers‘criticism3. From the passage we can infer that _____________.[A] Lawyers also benefited a lot from working for the Bush Camp.[B] Al Gore lost the recount case because his Recount Committee raised far fewer funds than that of Bush‘s.[C] Texan women are all very proud of having Bush as their president.[D] The Bushies intend to become deadbeat clients because it does no harm to their relationship with law firms.4. According to the passage，the Bush Recount Committee ________________.[A] spent all the raised money to pay its lawyers.[B] had got most of its funds from individuals.[C] could have raised more money if they hadn‘t imposed a cap on individual donations.[D] had to pay the bills of the army for their help in Bush‘s election.5. We can learn from the last paragraph that _________________.[A] The Bush camp also owes electrical power companies and drug manufacturers a lot of money.[B] Richard and his company have invested their legal fees to expand their business.[C] Greenberg Traurig works for electric power companies，drug manufacturers and Internet gambling interests.[D] Law firms don‘t want to lose influential clients even if they don’t pay off their legal fees.答案：BCACD篇章剖析本文说明文，采用提出问题——分析问题的写作模式。
