He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site ' s “ pers onal search age nt ” . It ' s an interacsv®rfeafeyerth®b eteriasuch as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is postedin the database. Redm on chose the keywords legal, in tellectual property andWashington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notific ation of an opening. "I struckgold, ” says Redm on, who Emailed his resume to the employer and won a positi on asin-house coun sel for a compa ny.With thousa nds of career-related sites on the Intern et, finding promis ing ope ningscan he time-c onsuming and in efficie nt. Search age nts reduce the n eed for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search age nt worked for Redm on, career experts see drawbacks. Narrow ing your criteria, for example, may work aga inst you:you an swer a questi on you e lim in ate a possibility, ” says one expert.For any job search, you should start with a narrow con cept —what you thi nk youwant to do —then broaden it. “ None of these programs do that, ” says another expert. “ There ' s no career coun seli ng implicit i n all of this. ” In stead, the best strategy is the age nt as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; whe nyou get E- mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. "I would not re age nts for finding everyth ing that i s added to a database that might in terest me, says the author of a job-search ing guide.Some sites desig n their age nts to tempt job hun ters to retur n. When CareerSiteage nt sends out messages to those who have sig ned up for its service, for example, it in cludes only three pote ntial jobs —those it con siders the best matches.

Althoughhappily employed, Redm on mai ntai ns his age nt at CareerBuilder. “ You always keepeyes ope n, ” he says. Work ing with a pers onal search age nt means havi ng ano ther set ofeyes look ing out for you.21. How did Redmon find his job?[A] By search ing ope nings in a job database.[B] By posti ng a match ing positi on in a database.[C] By using a special service of a database.[D] By E-mailing his resume to a database.22.

But one insidious form continues to thrive: alphabetism.This, for those as yet un aware of such a disadva ntage, refers to discrim in ati on aga instthose whose sur names begi n with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.It has long been known that a taxi firm called AAAA cars has a big advantage overZodiac cars whe n customers thumb through their pho ne directories. Less well known isthe advantage that Adam Abbott has in life over Zo? Zysman. English names are fairly evenly spread betwee n the halves of the alphabet. Yet a suspiciously large nu mber of top people have sur names begi nning with letters betwee n A and K.Thus the America n preside nt and vice-preside nt have sur names start ing with B andC respectively; and 26 of George Bush ' s predegeBs(fEish(eirc lbdd surn amesin the first half of the alphabet against just 16 in the second half. Even more striking, sixof the seve n heads of gover nment of the G7 rich coun tries are alphabetically adva ntagedcen tral(Berlusconi, Blair, Bush, Chirac, Chr e tierand Koizumi). The world ' thsee top ban kers(Gree nspa n, Duise nberg and Hayami) are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. As are the world's five richest men (Gates, Buffett, Alle n, Ellison and Albrecht).Can this merely be coin cide nee? One theory, dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged, is that the rot sets in early. At the start of the first year in infant school, teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their n ames. So short-sighted Zysma n junior gets stuck in the back row, and is rarely asked the improving questions posed by those insensitive teachers. At the time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. Yet the result may be worse qualificati ons, because they get less in dividual atte nti on, as well as less con fide nee in speak ing publicly.The humiliati on con ti nu es. At uni versity graduati on cere moni es, the ABCs proudly get their awards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally hav ing a ZZ Z. Shortlists for job in terviews, electio n ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and atte ndees: all tend to be draw n up alphabetically, and their recipie nts lose in terest as they plough through them.26. What does the author intend to illustrate with AAAA cars and Zodiac cars?[A] A kind of overlooked in equality.[B] A type of con spicuous bias.[C] A type of pers onal prejudice.[D] A kind of brand discrim in ati on.27. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?[A] In both East and West, n ames are esse ntial to success.[B] The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zo? Zysma n.[C] Customers ofte n pay a lot of atte nti on to compa nies ' n ames.[D] Some form of discrim in ati on is too subtle to recog ni ze.28. The 4th paragraph suggests that ________ .[A] questions are often put to the more intelligent students[B] alphabetically disadva ntaged stude nts ofte n escape from class[C] teachers should pay atte nti on to all of their stude nts[D] stude nts should be seated accord ing to their eyesight29. What does the author mean by “ most people are literally hZZZg'aLines 2-3,Paragraph 5)?[A] They are gett ing impatie nt.[B] They are n oisily doz ing off.[C] They are feeli ng humiliated.[D] They are busy with word puzzles.30. Which of the follow ing is true accord ing to the text?[A] People with surnames beginning with N to Z are often ill-treated.[B] VIPs in the Western world gain a great deal from alphabetism.[C] The campaign to eliminate alphabetism still has a long way to go.[D] Putt ing things alphabetically may lead to uninten ti onal bias.Text 3When it comes to the slow ing economy, Elie n Spero isn't bit ing her n ails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn't cutting, filing or polishing as many nails as she'd like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two Iongtime customers sudde nly stopped show ing up. Spero blames the softe ning economy, good econo mic in dicator, ” 'stiqdsayde a service that people can do without whe nthey're concerned about savi ng some dollars. ” So Spero is dow nscali ng, shopp ing atmiddle-brow Dillard's departme nt store n ear her suburba n Clevela nd home, in stead of Neima n Marcus.

For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 perce nt from last year's pace. But don't sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only mildly concerned, not panicked, and many say they rema in optimistic about the econom y's Ion g-term prospects even as they do some modest belt-tighte ning.Con sumers say they're not in despair because, despite the dreadful headli nes, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. Home prices are hold ing steady in most regi ons.

Our heroes are athletes, en terta in ers, and en trepre neurs, not scholars. Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical education —not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools aren't difficult tofind.“ Schoolshave always been in a socie ty where practical is more important thanintellectual, ” says education writer Diane Ravitch. “ Schools could be a counterbalancRavitch's latest book.

Without the ability to thi nk critically, todefe nd their ideas and un dersta nd the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shorris, “ We willsecond- rate country. We will have a less civil society. ”"In tellect is rese nted as a form of power or privilege, ” writes historia n and pre Richard Hofstadter in An ti-i ntellectualism in America n Life, a Pulitzer-Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have drivenus to reject anything that smells of elitism. Practicality, com mon sen se, and n ative intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book.Ralph Waldo Emers on and other Tran sce nden talist philosophers thought schooli ngand rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children: “ We are shut uschools and college recitati on rooms for 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.

(41) The Greeks assumed that the structure of Ian guage had some connection with the process of thought, which took root in Europe long before people realized how diverse Ian guages could be.Only recently did linguists begin the serious study of Ianguages that were very different from their own. Two anthropologist-linguists, Franz Boas and Edward Sapir, were pioneers in describing many native Ianguages of North and South America during the first half of the twen tieth cen tury. (42) We are obliged to them because some of these Ianguages have since vanished, as the peoples who spoke them died out or became assimilated and lost their n ative Ian guages. Other li nguists in the earlier part of this century, however, who were less eager to deal with bizarre data from“ exoticIan guage, were not always so grateful. (43) The newly described Ian guages were often so______ strik in gly differe nt from the well studied Ian guages of Europe and Southeast Asia that some scholars even accused Boas and Sapir of fabricat ing their data. Native America nIan guages are in deed differe nt, so much so in fact that Navajo could be used by the US military as a code duri ng World War II to send secret messages.Sapir 'pupil, Benjamin Lee Whorf, continued the study of American IndianIan guages. (44) Being in terested in the relati on ship of lang uage and thought, Whorf developed the idea that the structure of Ian guage determ ines the structure of habitual thought in a society. He reasoned that because it is easier to formulate certain conceptsand not others in a give n Ian guage, the speakers of that Ian guage thi nk along one trackand not along ano ther. (45) Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism ___________which, in its strongest form, states that language imprisons the mind, and that the grammatical patter ns in a Ian guage can produce far-reach ing con seque nces for the culture of a society. Later, this idea became to be known as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis,but this term is somewhat in appropriate.

The coastal plain extends inlands 16 to 48 kilometers on the northwest. Along the north sea is a lowlying area consisting mainly of sandy hills and sections of lands reclaimed from the sea. The coastal p lain’s elevation ranges from sea level to 20 metres.The central plateau is a gently rolling, slightly elevated area, irrigated by many waterways and containing a number of wide, fertile valleys with a rich soil. The highlands, a densely-wooded plateau, averaging 460 metres in elevation, extends across southeastern Belgium and into northeastern France. Located here is the highest peak in Belgium with an elevation of 694 meters.The climate near the sea is humid and mild. Farther inland, a marked increase in the range of temperature occurs. In the highlands, hot summers alternate with cold winters. Heavy rains are confined almost exclusively to the highlands. Fog and rain are common, and April and November are particularly rainy months. In Brussels, the average temperatures range from zero to 5 degrees Centigrade in January and from 13 to 22 degrees Centigrade in July.

2004年考研英语解析

2004年全国攻读硕士学位研究生入学考试英语试题第一部分英语知识运用试题解析一、文章总体分析文章主要探讨青少年犯罪的原因。

一开始，文章从现有的理论出发，指出这些理论集中把个人或社会看作主要影响因素。

接着文章又进一步谈到，现有理论只关注来自贫穷家庭的孩子，而忽视了来自富有家庭的孩子也犯罪这一事实。

总之，这些理论都是不确定的，容易受到批评和攻击。

从第三段开始，文章提出了新的见解：社会结构的变化可能间接地影响了青少年犯罪率。

这其中包括经济结构和家庭结构的变化。

除此之外，也有其他一些原因造成了青少年的犯罪行为。

最后，文章就以上提到的众多原因作了一个总结：所有上述情形都有可能促使青少年犯罪，但它们与青少年犯罪是否存在直接的因果关系还没有确定。

二、试题具体解析1. [A] acting (on) 对……起作用[B] relying (on) 依靠，指望[C] centering (on) 以……为中心，围绕；集中于……[D] commenting(on) 对……做出评论[答案] C[解析] 本题考核的知识点是：平行句子结构+分词短语辨析。

本题要求考生判断空格处应填入什么分词与on搭配，构成分词短语。

从结构上看，文章第一段由三个平行结构的长句子构成，其主要结构为Many theories concerning…focus on；Theories 1 on the individual suggest that；Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that。

三个句子的主语都是theories，并都接有分词作定语。

因此空格处填入的分词应和前一句中的concerning、后一句中的focusing on遥相呼应，都表示“关于…的理论”的含义，从文意方面看，第一句话总述到，关于（concerning）青少年犯罪原由的理论集中研究两个方面，即个人因素和社会因素。

Like, all the smart people were freaking out about it. But don't worry, I'm here to break it down for you, my fellow little geniuses.So, in this text, the author talks about how different cultures view time and how that affects the way they live their lives. Somecultures are all about being punctual and sticking to schedules, while others are more laid back and chill about time. It's pretty cool to see how time can be seen in so many different ways around the world, right?The text also mentions how time is seen as a resource in Western cultures, which is why people are always rushing around and trying to make the most of every minute. But in other cultures, time is more fluid and people focus on relationships and experiences instead of clocking in and out.I think it's important to remember that everyone is different and has their own way of looking at time. Just because someone is always late doesn't mean they don't value your time, they might just see things differently. And hey, maybe we can learn something from each other's perspectives on time, like how to relax and enjoy the moment instead of always rushing to the next thing on our to-do list.So, don't stress too much about time, my friends. Take a deep breath, enjoy the present, and remember that time is just a human invention anyway. Let's all learn to be a little more chill and go with the flow, just like how different cultures do it. Peace out!篇7Hey guys, today I'm gonna talk about the reading passage 2 from the 2004 National Entrance Examination for Graduate Schools in English (Part 1). This passage is super important for us to understand, so let's break it down together!First of all, the passage talks about how the rise of magazines targeting particular groups has changed the publishing industry. It explains that niche magazines have become more popular because they cater to specific interests of their readers. This is cool because it allows people to find magazines that really speak to them.The passage also mentions that some people worry that this trend will mean the end of general interest magazines. But don't worry, guys! General interest magazines are still hanging in there, even as niche magazines gain popularity. It's all about finding a balance between catering to specific interests and providing a variety of content for everyone.One important point in the passage is how niche magazines use targeted advertising to reach their audience. By focusing on specific interests, these magazines can attract advertisers who want to reach that particular group of people. This is a smartbusiness move that helps niche magazines thrive in the competitive publishing industry.Overall, the passage teaches us that the publishing industry is always evolving. It's cool to see how niche magazines are shaping the industry and providing readers with content that truly speaks to them. So next time you pick up a magazine, think about how it's catering to your interests and what makes it stand out from the rest!That's all for today, guys! Remember to keep reading and exploring new topics. Stay curious and keep learning!篇8Hey guys, today I'm going to talk about the text 2 from the 2004 National Entrance Examination for Postgraduates (NCEE) English exam. This text is about the environmental impact of introducing exotic species to new habitats.So, basically, the text talks about how introducingnon-native species to a new environment can have a negative impact on the native species and the ecosystem as a whole. It gives examples like the introduction of water hyacinth to Lake Victoria in East Africa, which ended up causing a lot of problems for the local environment.The text also discusses how some people think it's a good idea to introduce exotic species to control pests or improve the ecosystem. But the problem is, these new species can end up disrupting the balance of the ecosystem and causing more harm than good.One key point the text makes is that prevention is better than cure when it comes to introducing exotic species. It's better to be cautious and do research before bringing in new species, rather than trying to fix the problem after it's already caused damage.Overall, the text emphasizes the importance of being mindful of the impact we have on the environment and being responsible for the choices we make. It's a reminder that even small actions, like introducing a new species, can have a big impact on the world around us.So, remember guys, think before you act and always consider the consequences of your actions on the environment. Let's work together to protect our planet and preserve the natural balance of ecosystems. Bye for now!篇9Hey guys, today I'm gonna talk about the text 2 from the 2004 National Entrance Examination for Master of Arts in English (Test 1). It's a pretty tough one, but don't worry, I'll break it down for you!So, the text talks about the history of black Americans and their struggles for equality. It mentions important figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks who fought for civil rights. They faced discrimination and segregation, but they never gave up.The text also discusses the impact of slavery on black Americans and how it still affects them today. It's a sad but important part of American history that we need to remember.One key point in the text is the idea of"double-consciousness," which means that black Americans have to see themselves through their own eyes as well as through the eyes of society. This can be a difficult and painful experience, but it's important for understanding their place in the world.Overall, the text teaches us the importance of standing up for equality and justice, even in the face of adversity. It's a powerful message that we should all take to heart.So, that's a quick overview of text 2. Remember to keep studying and learning, and you'll do great on the exam! Good luck, everyone!篇10Oh my goodness, guys! Have you seen the 2004 postgraduate English exam paper 1 reading text 2? It's crazy hard! But don't worry, I'm here to break it down for you in a super easy way.So, this text is all about how children learn languages. The author talks about how kids have this amazing ability to pick up languages quickly and effortlessly. They can learn multiple languages at once and without any formal teaching. It's like their brains are just natural language sponges!The author also mentions a study where they found that kids who grow up in bilingual households actually have bigger brains. Can you believe it? Learning more than one language can literally make your brain grow bigger. That's so cool!But here's the thing, guys. The author also talks about how as we get older, it gets harder and harder to learn new languages. Our brains just aren't as flexible as they used to be. That's why it'sso important to start learning languages when we're young. The earlier, the better!So, what can we do to make learning languages easier for us big kids? Well, the author suggests immersing ourselves in the language as much as possible. That means watching movies, listening to music, and talking to native speakers. The more we practice, the better we'll get!And hey, don't be afraid to make mistakes. That's all part of the learning process. Just keep practicing and before you know it, you'll be speaking like a pro.So, there you have it, guys. Learning languages might be tough, but with a little practice and a lot of determination, we can all become language masters. Let's do this!。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B], [C] or [D] Mark your mowers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)T ext 1Hunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across CareerBuilder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success b ut was attracted by the site’s “personal search agent.” It’s an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and W ashington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. “I struck gold,” says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria, for example, may work against you: “Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility,” says one expert.For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept -- what you think you want to do -- then broaden it. “None of these programs do that,” says another expert. “There’s no career counseling implicit in all of this.” Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. “I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me,” says the author of a job-searching guide.Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When C areerSite’s agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs -- those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them -- and they do. “On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic,” says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for CareerSite.Even those who aren’t hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at CareerBuilder. “Y ou always keep your eyes ope n,” he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.41. How did Redmon find his job?[A] By searching openings in a job database.[B] By posting a matching position in a database.[C] By using a special service of a database.[D] By E-mailing his resume to a database.42. Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents?[A] Lack of counseling.[B] Limited number of visits.[C] Lower efficiency.[D] Fewer successful matches.43. The expr ession “tip service” (Line 4, Paragraph 3) most probably means ________.[A] advisory[B] compensation[C] interaction[D] reminder44. Why does CareerSite’s agent offer each job hunter only three job options?[A] To focus on better job matches.[B] To attract more returning visits.[C] To reserve space for more messages.[D] To increase the rate of success.45. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] Personal search agents are indispensable to job-hunters.[B] Some sites keep E-mailing job seekers to trace their demands.[C] Personal search agents are also helpful to those already employed.[D] Some agents stop sending information to people once they are employed.T ext 2Over the past century, all kinds of unfairness and discrimination have been condemned or made illegal. But one insidious form continues to thrive: alphabetism. This, for those as yet unaware of such a disadvantage, refers to discrimination against those whose surnames begin with a letter in the lower half of the alphabet.It has long been known that a taxi firm called AAAA cars has a big advantage over Zodiac cars when customers thumb through their phone directories. Less well known is the advantage that Adam Abbott has in life over Zoëuml Zysman. English names are fairly evenly spread between the halves of the alphabet. Y et a suspiciously large number of top people have surnames beginning with letters between A and K.Thus the American president and vice-president have surnames starting with B and C respectively; and 26 of George Bush’s predecessors (including his father) had surnames in the first half of the alphabet against just 16 in the second half. Even more striking, six of the seven heads of government of the G7 rich countries are alphabetically advantaged (Be rlusconi, Blair, Bush, Chirac, Chrétien and Koizumi). The world’s three top central bankers (Greenspan, Duisenberg and Hayami) are all close to the top of the alphabet, even if one of them really uses Japanese characters. As are the world’s five richest me n (Gates, Buffett, Allen, Ellison and Albrecht).Can this merely be coincidence? One theory, dreamt up in all the spare time enjoyed by the alphabetically disadvantaged, is that the rot sets in early. At the start of the first year in infant school, teachers seat pupils alphabetically from the front, to make it easier to remember their names. So short-sighted Zysman junior gets stuck in the back row, and is rarely asked the improving questions posed by those insensitive teachers. At the time the alphabetically disadvantaged may think they have had a lucky escape. Y et the result may be worse qualifications, because they get less individual attention, as well as less confidence in speaking publicly.The humiliation continues. At university graduation ceremonies, the ABCs proudly get their awards first; by the time they reach the Zysmans most people are literally having a ZZZ. Shortlists for job interviews, election ballot papers, lists of conference speakers and attendees: all tend to be drawn up alphabetically, and their recipients lose interest as they plough through them.46. What does the author intend to illustrate with AAA A cars and Zodiac cars?[A] A kind of overlooked inequality.[B] A type of conspicuous bias.[C] A type of personal prejudice.[D] A kind of brand discrimination.47. What can we infer from the first three paragraphs?[A] In both East and West, names are essential to success.[B] The alphabet is to blame for the failure of Zoë Zysman.[C] Customers often pay a lot of attention to compa nies’ names.[D] Some form of discrimination is too subtle to recognize.48. The 4th paragraph suggests that ________.[A] questions are often put to the more intelligent students[B] alphabetically disadvantaged students often escape from class[C] teachers should pay attention to all of their students[D] students should be seated according to their eyesight49. What does the author mean by “most people are literally having a ZZZ” (Lines 2-3, Paragraph 5)?[A] They are getting impatient.[B] They are noisily dozing off.[C] They are feeling humiliated.[D] They are busy with word puzzles.50. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] People with surnames beginning with N to Z are often ill-treated.[B] VIPs in the Western world gain a great deal from alphabetism.[C] The campaign to eliminate alphabetism still has a long way to go.[D] Putting things alphabetically may lead to unintentional bias.T ext 3When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn’t cutting, filling or polishing as many nails as she’d like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening econ omy. “I’m a good economic indicator,” she says. “I provide a service that people can do without when they’re concerned about saving some dollars.” So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard’s department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don’t know if other clients are going to abandon me, too” she says.Even before Alan Greenspan’s admission that America’s red-hot economy is cooling, lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. From car dealerships to Gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautious approach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year’s pace. But don’t sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy’s long-term prospects, even as they do some modest belt-tightening.Consumers say they’re not in despair because, despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. Home prices are holding steady in most regions. In Manhattan, “there’s a new gold rush happening in the $4 mil lion to $10 million range, predominantly fed by Wall Street bonuses,” says broker Barbara Corcoran. In San Francisco, prices are still rising even as frenzied overbidding quiets. “Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybe you only get two or three,” says john Deadly, a Bay Area real-estate broker. And most folks still feel pretty comfortable about their ability to find and keep a job.Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown. Potential home buyers would cheer for lower interest rates. Employers wouldn’t m ind a little fewer bubbles in the job market. Many consumers seem to have been influenced by stock-market swings, which investors now view as a necessary ingredient to a sustained boom. Diners might see an upside, too. Getting a table at Manhattan’s hot ne w Alain Ducasse restaurant used to be impossible. Not anymore. For that, Greenspan & Co. may still be worth toasting.51. By “Ellen Spero isn’t biting her nails just yet” (Line 1, Paragraph 1), the author means ________.[A] Spero can hardly maintain her business[B] Spero is too much engaged in her work[C] Spero has grown out of her bad habit[D] Spero is not in a desperate situation52. How do the public feel about the current economic situation?[A] Optimistic.[B] Confused.[C] Carefree.[D] Panicked.53. When mentioning “the $4 million to $10 million range” (Lines 3-4, Paragraph 3) the author is talking about________.[A] gold market[B] real estate[C] stock exchange[D] venture investment54. Why can many people see “silver linings” to the economic showdown?[A] They would benefit in certain ways.[B] The stock market shows signs of recovery.[C] Such a slowdown usually precedes a boom.[D] The purchasing power would be enhanced.55. To which of the following is the author likely to agree?[A] A now boom, on the horizon.[B] Tighten the belt, the single remedy.[C] Caution all right, panic not.[D] The more ventures, the more chances.T ext 4Americans today don’t place a very high value on intellect. Our heroes are athletes, entertainer s, and entrepreneurs, not scholars. Even our schools are where we send our children to get a practical education -- not to pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Symptoms of pervasive anti-intellectualism in our schools aren’t difficult to find.“Schools have always been in a society where practical is more important than intellectual,” says education writer Diane Ravish. “Schools could be a counterbalance.” Ravitch’s latest book, Left Back: A Century of FailedSchool Reforms, traces the roots of anti-intellectualism in our schools, concluding they are anything but a counterbalance to the American distaste for intellectual pursuits.But they could and should be. Encouraging kids to reject the life of the mind leaves them vulnerable to exploitation and control. Without the ability to think critically, to defend their ideas and understand the ideas of others, they cannot fully participate in our democracy. Continuing along this path, says writer Earl Shorris, “We will become a second-rate country. We will have a less civil society.”“Intellect is resented as a form of power or privilege,” writes historian and professor Richard Hofstadter in Anti-Intellectualism in American life, a Pulitzer Prize winning book on the roots of anti-intellectualism in US politics, religion, and education. From the beginning of our history, says Hofstadter, our democratic and populist urges have driven us to reject anything that smells of elitism. Practicality, common sense, and native intelligence have been considered more noble qualities than anything you could learn from a book.Ralph Waldo Emerson and other Transcendentalist philosophers thought schooling and rigorous book learning put unnatural restraints on children: “We are shut up in schools and college recitation rooms fo r 10 or 15 years and come out at last with a bellyful of words and do not know a thing.” Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn exemplified American anti-intellectualism. Its hero avoids being civilized -- going to school and learning to read -- so he can preserve his innate goodness.Intellect, according to Hofstadter, is different from native intelligence, a quality we reluctantly admire. Intellect is the critical, creative, and contemplative side of the mind. Intelligence seeks to grasp, manipulate, re-order, and adjust, while intellect examines, ponders, wonders, theorizes, criticizes and imagines.School remains a place where intellect is mistrusted. Hofstadter says our country’s educational system is in the grips of people who “joyfully and militantly proclaim their hostility to intellect and their eagerness to identify with children who show the least intellectual promise.”56. What do American parents expect their children to acquire in school?[A] The habit of thinking independently.[B] Profound knowledge of the world.[C] Practical abilities for future career.[D] The confidence in intellectual pursuits.57. We can learn from the text that Americans have a history of ________.[A] undervaluing intellect[B] favoring intellectualism[C] supporting school reform[D] suppressing native intelligence58. The views of Ravitch and Emerson on schooling are ________.[A] identical[B] similar[C] complementary[D] opposite59. Emerson, according to the text, is probably ________.[A] a pioneer of education reform[B] an opponent of intellectualism[C] a scholar in favor of intellect[D] an advocate of regular schooling60. What does the author think of intellect?[A] It is second to intelligence.[B] It evolves from common sense.[C] It is to be pursued.[D] It underlies power.Part BDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Y our translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)The relation of language and mind has interested philosophers for many centuries. 61) The Greeks assumed that the structure of language had some connection with the process of thought, which took root in Europe long before people realized how diverse languages could be.Only recently did linguists begin the serious study of languages that were very different from their own. Two anthropologist-linguists, Franz Boas and Edward Sapir, were pioneers in describing many native languages of North and South America during the first half of the twentieth century. 62) We are obliged to them because some of these languages have since vanished, as the peoples who spoke them died out or became assimilated and lost their native languages. Other linguists in the earlier part of this century, however, who were less eager to deal with bizarre data from “exotic” language, were not always so grateful. 63) The newly described languages were often so strikingly different from the well studied languages of Europe and Southeast Asia that some scholars even accused Boas and Sapir of fabricating their data. Native American languages are indeed different, so much so in fact that Navajo could be used by the US military as a code during World War II to send secret messages.Sapir’s pupil, Benjamin Lee Whorf, continued the study of Am erican Indian languages. 64) Being interested in the relationship of language and thought, Whorf developed the idea that the structure of language determines the structure of habitual thought in a society. He reasoned that because it is easier to formulate certain concepts and not others in a given language, the speakers of that language think along one track and not along another. 65) Whorf came to believe in a sort of linguistic determinism which, in its strongest form, states that language imprisons the mind, and that the grammatical patterns in a language can produce far-reaching consequences for the culture of a society.

一个考研人对2004英语试题的几个分析

d2004年的英语考试，是最值得讨论的，虽然答案已经公布，几家欢喜几家愁。

当然，不可否认，我是属于愁的，2001年我英语64，今年复习的感觉比2001年好了很多，历年的真题我都认真做了，分析过，但结果很糟糕，今天上班的时候，实在无事，我仔细分析了今年的考题，有几点想法，对几题题目结合自己考试时候的想法说说自己的几点很无奈的想法：1、关于今年的试题比往年的题目是否简单的想法：去年的分数线是41分，c类的是36分，个人觉得是太低了，英语大家都知道，不管多么难的题目，30多分应该都不是很困难的事情。

我猜测，今年出题的老师可能想将试题出的简单些，将分数线调高些，王@@分析的57分，我觉得应该是毫无根据的乱说，可能是了解一些出题的想法和思路后说的！但今年可能会事与愿违，习惯了很难，很复杂分析阅读理解题目的考生今年大多都考的不是很好，简单的问题复杂化了，得分反而不高。

今年出题的思路，如果按照网络上公布的答案，出题老师的思路是和往年变化很大，所以题目才会有这么大的争议。

听力的题目，应该说不算太难，但迷惑性很大，考的时候都感觉很好，对了答案才觉得很糟糕，相信很多同学听力第二题都觉得是694，而且很多人都听到了这个数字。

part c的第一篇，足球队员的那题，每个选项都听到了，迷惑性很大，我个人觉得难度反而高了，我得分10分，partA和partB共才得了4分，第一个我写了highland，当时在考场上想了半天，觉得land不应该有复数，看了提供的其他两个，平原什么的都没有复数，所以放心大胆的写了highland，和公布的答案一比，才知道自己错了！第七题，我也没有写复数，写成government agence了，这2分，好心痛！！2，完形填空今年真的很简单，我历来把完形填空看做是很鸡肋的题目，一般得分低不过5分，高不过9分，我也没有专门的准备，这次考了8分，觉得网上的答案基本可信。

3。

阅读理解，我对了一下答案，我的才20分，很多题目论坛里面都有争议，无争议的题目，公布的答案应该还是可信的，我把争议的题目，结合我的思路分析一下，如果网上公布的答案存在着可信性的问题，那么可能这些答案就可能有差别，如果网上的答案是准确的，我分析的就是出题老师认为是准确的理由，给大家一些启示：（1）第46题What does the author intend to illustrate with AAA A cars and Zodiac cars?[A] A kind of overlooked inequality.[B] A type of conspicuous bias.[C] A type of personal prejudice.[D] A kind of brand discrimination.答案是选A，我选择的是B。

考研英语04年几篇作文

考研英语04年作文主题深度解析与仿写 **English Version**The year 2004 marked a significant milestone in the history of postgraduate entrance examination in China, particularly in the realm of English writing. The essays from that year not only tested the students' proficiency in the language but also explored their critical thinking and understanding of contemporary issues.One of the essays focused on the topic of"Individuality and Social Constraints." This theme asked candidates to delve into the complexities of maintaining one's individuality while adhering to social norms and expectations. To delve into this topic, one might arguethat while society plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's values and behaviors, it is also essential to retain one's uniqueness and authenticity. For instance, while following societal rules for professional success, one should not compromise their principles and beliefs.Another essay dealt with the subject of "Environmental Protection and Sustainable Development." This topichighlighted the need for balancing economic growth with environmental conservation. Candidates were encouraged to explore innovative solutions to environmental challenges while promoting sustainable practices. One could argue that while economic prosperity is essential for societal well-being, it should not come at the cost of compromising the environment. Sustainable development requires a harmonious balance between economic, social, and environmental interests.Yet another essay centered around the theme of "Globalization and Its Impact on Culture." This topicinvited candidates to reflect on the cultural exchanges and conflicts resulting from globalization. In this context,one might argue that while globalization has opened up new opportunities for cultural exchange and understanding, it has also led to the marginalization of some cultures. It is, therefore, crucial to promote cultural diversity andrespect for different cultural identities.The essays from the 2004 postgraduate entrance examination in English not only tested the candidates' language proficiency but also challenged them to thinkcritically about important issues affecting society. These essays encouraged candidates to go beyond the superficial level of analysis and delve into the deeper, more complex dimensions of the topics. By doing so, they were able to demonstrate not only their command of the language but also their maturity and understanding of the world.**Chinese Version**2004年对于中国考研历程来说，是一个标志性的年份，尤其是在英语写作的领域。

2004考研英语阅读真题及详细解析

Part OneHunting for a job late last year, lawyer Gant Redmon stumbled across Career Builder, a job database on the Internet. He searched it with no success but was attracted by the site's "personal search agent". It's an interactive feature that lets visitors key in job criteria such as location, title, and salary, then E-mails them when a matching position is posted in the database. Redmon chose the keywords legal, intellectual property, and Washington, D.C. Three weeks later, he got his first notification of an opening. "I struck gold," says Redmon, who E-mailed his resume to the employer and won a position as in-house counsel for a company.With thousands of career-related sites on the Internet, finding promising openings can be time-consuming and inefficient. Search agents reduce the need for repeated visits to the databases. But although a search agent worked for Redmon, career experts see drawbacks. Narrowing your criteria, for example, may work against you: "Every time you answer a question you eliminate a possibility." says one expert.For any job search, you should start with a narrow concept —what you think you want to do —then broaden it. "None of these programs do that," says another expert. "There's no career counseling implicit in all of this." Instead, the best strategy is to use the agent as a kind of tip service to keep abreast of jobs in a particular database; when you get E-mail, consider it a reminder to check the database again. "I would not rely on agents for finding everything that is added to a database that might interest me," says the author of a job-searching guide.Some sites design their agents to tempt job hunters to return. When Career Site's agent sends out messages to those who have signed up for its service, for example, it includes only three potential jobs —those it considers the best matches. There may be more matches in the database; job hunters will have to visit the site again to find them — and they do. "On the day after we send our messages, we see a sharp increase in our traffic," says Seth Peets, vice president of marketing for Career Site.Even those who aren't hunting for jobs may find search agents worthwhile. Some use them to keep a close watch on the demand for their line of work or gather information on compensation to arm themselves when negotiating for a raise. Although happily employed, Redmon maintains his agent at Career Builder. "Y ou always keep your eyes open," he says. Working with a personal search agent means having another set of eyes looking out for you.1. How did Redmon find his job?[A] By searching openings in a job database.[B] By posting a matching position in a database.[C] By using a special service of a database.[D] By E-mailing his resume to a database.2. Which of the following can be a disadvantage of search agents?[A] Lack of counseling.[B] Limited number of visits.[C] Lower efficiency.[D] Fewer successful matches.3. The expression "tip service" （Line 4, Paragraph 3）most probably means ________.[A] advisory.[B] compensation.[C] interaction.[D] reminder.4. Why does Career Site's agent offer each job hunter only three job options?[A] To focus on better job matches.[B] To attract more returning visits.[C] To reserve space for more messages.[D] To increase the rate of success.5. Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] Personal search agents are indispensable to job-hunters.[B] Some sites keep E-mailing job seekers to trace their demands.[C] Personal search agents are also helpful to those already employed.[D] Some agents stop sending information to people once they are employed.Unit 11 （2004）Part 1重点词汇：1.stumble across （无意间碰到，偶然发现）Police investingating tax fraud stumbled a crossa durgs ring.警方在调查瞒税案件时意外地发现了一个贩毒团伙Stumble 跌跌撞撞地走stumble about 步履蹒跚2.database（数据库＝databank）即data 数据+base 基地3.key in 键入4.notification（公告，告示）There have been no more notifications of SARS case in the last week.上星期已没有SARS病例的报告动词：notify 公告通告5.opening（空缺，机遇） a business opening经商的好机遇opening words 开场白6.drawback不足，障碍;退款）即draw=拉，拖+back。

2004年考研英语解析

第三篇一、文章结构总体分析结构分析：本文从斯珀若的例子展开讨论，论述了美国当前经济形势下，消费者没有表现出恐慌。

论证过程中用了举例、列举、引用等论证手段。

第一段：以美甲师斯珀若的情况为典型事例，说明美国的经济情况影响到了很多人的生活。

第二段：使用列举的方法说明美国经济在降温，但段落后半部分笔锋一转，点明人们并不恐慌。

第三段：使用房地产业为典型事例，说明段首的主题句：人们自己财富的感觉依然良好。

第四段：在此使用列举的方法说明段首的主题句：人们从这次经济滑坡中看到了自己可以得到的好处。

二、试题具体解析31. By “Ellen Spero isn't biting her 31. 作者说“Ellen Spero isn’t biting hernails just yet” (Line 1, Paragraph nails just yet”意思是__ _ 。

1), the author means __ _.[A] Spero can hardly maintain her business. [A]斯珀若无法维持自己的生意。

[B] Spero is too much engaged in her work. [B]斯珀若过分投入自己的工作。

[C] Spero has grown out of her bad habit. [C]斯珀若改掉了坏习惯。

[D] Spero is not in a desperate situation. [D]斯珀若还没处于绝望的状态。

[答案] D[解析] 本题考核的知识点是：词义句意题。

此句主要考对“bite one’s nails”的理解，从字面上看，意思是“咬指甲”，似乎应该选C。

但是，这类型题目往往不是考查本意，因此必须放在原文中推敲。

第一段第二句接着说“这个47岁的美甲师修剪、锉磨、上油的指甲却没有自己希望的那样多了”，后来又说她的生意不如从前。

因此，从第二句开始讲的是经济影响到了她的生意状况。

2004考研英语复习攻略

2004考研英语复习攻略和其他所有的科目一样，英语也是一场痛苦而漫长的战斗，许多勇士们爬山涉水，历经千辛万苦，已经看到了胜利的曙光，但却牺牲在英语的“护城河”畔。

每年都会在网络上听到有人痛哭得像一个孩子，全都是英语惹的祸。

当又一轮的号角吹响，又一批的勇士们发起了冲锋，那一条横亘着的让人心悸的护城河又一次出现了，为了到达胜利的城池，勇士们听听老兵的策略吧！一、两军交战勇者胜。

“勇”，不是一味地前冲，而是要与谋略相结合，因此在英语考研复习过程中必须首先明确整个过程的艰苦，必须坚定信念。

考研复习一个十分艰苦的学习过程，是一个非常耗时间的学习过程：要掌握大约规定的5300个词汇以及相关词组绝非易事，这要求持续四五个月甚至大半年的时间，要天天学，天天记，记了忘，忘了记，反复地不间断地学、记、练；要进行阅读练习，最少要阅读100篇以上的阅读材料，材料的难易程度不同，内容各异，而且练习过程与水平提高总是不成比例，但又不能休息，必须坚持不懈地读下去；除此之外，还要掌握语言知识、语言技能、答题技巧等。

但是从你决心踏入战场的那一秒开始，你就选择了这一条路，因此，你必须建立自己的信心，顽强地走下去。

建立自信的方法可以参考下列两种：a. 词汇摸底。

在正式复习开始之前，用半天时间或一天时间集中把大纲词汇表中的全部词汇从头至尾过滤一遍，盖住中文，只看英文想中文，凡是会的上记号；过滤完后清点数目，就可以看到自己已经掌握了多少词汇。

一般说来掌握2000—2500，就应该非常有信心。

b. 试卷摸底。

找一两套最近两三年的真题做一遍，检查一下自己哪些方面弱，哪些方面强，经过正确分析之后，也能起到建立信心的作用。

二、词汇是基础。

词汇是英语考试中的基础，它构成了听力、知识运用、阅读、翻译和作文的全部，这一点应该无须再解释了。

那么多少的词汇才算够呢？答案不是越多越好。

因为如果在词汇上花费了太多的时间，那么就会相对地减少了对听力、阅读等部分的投入，而这些才是真正要考到的。

04年考研英语完型

04年考研英语完型2004年考研英语完型填空题分析与解题技巧近年来，考研英语的难度逐渐增加，其中的完型填空题一直是考生们的心头之患。

为了帮助考生更好地应对这一题型，本文将对2004年考研英语完型填空题进行分析，并提供一些解题技巧。

一、审题和预测在开始解答完型填空题之前，首先要认真审题，理解文章的大意和上下文的逻辑关系。

在阅读文章时，要注意根据上下文推测空白处应填入的内容，尽量预测出合适的单词或短语。

以2004年考研英语完型填空题为例，这是一篇关于“怎样提高我们的记忆能力”的文章。

在阅读文章时，我们可以通过理解文章的内容和逻辑推断出填入空白处的单词或短语可能与记忆有关，如“techniques”、“strategies”、“practice”等。

二、选项对比和排除在解答过程中，要将选项与上下文进行对比，通过排除不符合语境的选项，找到与文章逻辑和语义相符的选项。

对于完型填空题中的选项，常常会出现一些近义或近义关系的词语，我们要逐个比较选项，确定哪个选项最符合文章的意思。

三、上下文逻辑关系完型填空题中的选项一般都与上下文的逻辑关系有密切的联系。

通过分析上下文的逻辑关系，我们可以更好地理解文章的意思，并选择正确的选项。

上下文逻辑关系可以通过词语的转折、递进、因果等来判断，掌握这些关系对理解文章和选项都非常重要。

四、语法和词汇衔接正确认识和掌握文章中的语法和词汇是解答完型填空题的基本要求。

有时，我们可以通过观察选项中的词性和语法形式来判断其是否符合句子的语法要求。

同时，要注意上下文中的词汇衔接，通过选项与文章的词汇搭配和用法，选择正确的选项填入空白处。

五、阅读习惯的培养在日常生活中，要多进行阅读训练，培养良好的阅读习惯和阅读理解能力。

通过大量的阅读训练，可以提高对句子和文章的理解能力，准确把握文章的逻辑关系和内容，从而更好地解答完型填空题。

六、切勿死磕在解答完型填空题时，如果遇到一道难题，不能死磕，要放弃思考，换一题。
