Imagine asking a presidential candidate to sit down for a sensitivity session on gay and lesbian issues. That's exactly what we did last week in Austin，Texas. George W. Bush invited us，a dozen gay Republicans，after he'd refused to meet with a gay Republican group that had criticized him. Our meeting set an important precedent：never again will a major-party candidate be able to run for president without addressing gay and lesbian issues.Bush didn't like everything we had to say. I was struck by his lack of familiarity with the issues，as well as by his desire to learn. I described how my partner，Rob Morris，and I have been in a 17-year relationship. We both come from healthy，strong，religious families. Rob grew up in a conservative Republican family in Georgia; I come from a longtime Republican family in Wisconsin. I'm now the vice president of my Lutheran church. I wanted Governor Bush to understand that long-term，loving relationships，stable families，strong faith-based traditions and Republican voting histories are all part of the gay and lesbian community.Our stories had an impact. Bush admitted that，growing up in Texas，he had not been as open to elements of America's diverse culture. He had a narrow set of friends and a firm set of traditions. But he was surprised and dismayed to hear that people saw him as intolerant. “What have I said that sent that signal?”he asked repeatedly. We confronted him about his reported statement that if you were openly gay or lesbian you would not be considered for a job in his administration. “I never said that，”he insisted，assuring us he would hire gays and lesbians who both were qualified and shared his political views.Our perspective was clearly eye-opening to him. When one of us talked about his lesbian sister and her partner adopting children，the governor acknowledged his often-stated belief that gays should not adopt. “Now you're telling me of a very loving，caring relationship，”he said. “I really appreciate hearing that.”We stressed that a Bush administration could not roll back any of the progress made in recent years. We talked about AIDS funding and research. Though Bush was attentive——and does show a willingness to hear all sides——I don't think we changed his positions. He still opposes gay marriage and classifying crimes against gays as hate crimes. To be honest，Bush still has a long way to go. But I think he's a lot farther along today than he was last week.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek，04/24/2000，p43注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2003年真题Text 41.

In this week's Nature，a group of zoologists led by Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews in Scotland and Christophe Boesch of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig，Germany，have provided that evidence. They have synthesised the results from seven chimpanzee-research centres scattered across Africa，and shown that chimps can，indeed，do more than just pass on the odd behaviour pattern here and there. Individual groups of chimps exhibit behavioural“complexes'' that are recognisably different from those of other groups，yet seem to have no connection with environmental or genetic differences between the groups. If that is not culture，it is difficult to think what is.The problem that confronted Dr Whiten and Dr Boesch was how to disentangle which of chimpanzees' many behaviour patterns are genetically instinctive，which are learnt by individuals in isolation (and so are not cultural，because not copied from others) and which are culturally transmitted (by animals copying one another)。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：哲学类（4）Many critics of the current welfare system argue that existing welfare regulations lead to family instability.They believe that those regulations，which exclude most poor husband-and-wife families from Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) assistance grants，contribute to the problem of family dissolution.Thus，they conclude that expanding the set of families that can eligibly get such grants would result in a marked strengthening of the low-income family structure.If all poor families could receive welfare，would the incidence of instability change markedly? The answer to this question depends on the relative importance of three types of potential welfare recipients.The first is the“cheater”—the husband who is reported to have abandoned his family，but in fact disappears only when the social worker is in the neighborhood.The second consists of a loving husband and devoted father who，sensing his own inadequacy as a family supporter，leaves so that his wife and children may enjoy the relative benefit provided by public assistance.There is very little evidence that these two types are significant.The third type is the unhappily married couple，who remain together out of a sense of economic responsibility for their children，because of the high costs of separation，or because of the consumption benefits of marriage.This group is large.The formation，maintenance，and dissolution of the family is in large part a function of the relative balance between the benefits and costs of marriage as seen by the individual members of the marriage.Since the family performs certain functions society regards as vital，a complex network of social and legal process has evolved to reinforce marriage.Much of the variation in marital stability across income classes can be explained by the variation in costs of dissolution imposed by society，such as division of property，and child support.Marital stability is related to the costs of achieving an acceptable agreement on family consumption and production and to the prevailing social price of instability in the marriage partners‘social-economic group.Expected income exerts pressures on family instability by reducing the cost of dissolution.To the extent that welfare is a form of government-subsidized AFDC payments，it reduces the costs of separation and guarantees a minimal standard of living for wife and children.So welfare opportunities are a significant determinant of family instability in poor neighborhoods，but this is not the result of AFDC regulations that exclude most intact families from coverage.Rather，welfare-related instability occurs because public assistance lowers both the benefits of marriage and the costs of its breach by providing a system of government-subsidized payments.1.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?[A] Welfare restrictions do not contribute to low-income family instability.[B] The most significant kind of welfare recipients is not the“cheating”father.[C] The divorce rate is bound to fall when welfare benefits are cut.[D] Government welfare payments lead directly to growing divorce rate.2.The tone of the passage can best be described as____.[A] confident and optimistic[B] scientific and detached[C] discouraged and alarmed[D] polite and sensitive3.All of the following are mentioned by the author as factors tending to sustain a marriage EXCEPT____.[A] the social class of the married couple[B] the cost involved in divorce[C] the loss of property upon divorce[D] the greater consumption possibilities of married people4.With which of the following statements about marriage would the author most likely agree?[A] Marriage is largely shaped by powerful but impersonal economic and social forces.[B] Marriage has a greater value to higher income groups.[C] Society has no interest in encouraging people to remain married to one another.[D] Marriage will gradually give way to other forms of social organization.5.The passage would most likely be found in a____.[A] basic economics text[B] book on the history of welfare[C] religious literature on the importance of marriage[D] scholarly journal devoted to public policy questions参考答案：1.[A] 文章第一段先引出对现行福利政策持批评态度的人的观点，他们认为现行政策引起了家庭的分裂。

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 means______.［A］frightening and hurting［B］teasing［C］behaving like a tyrant［D］laughing at2.Calling to a bully's parent.______.［A］has long existed but changed its content［B］is often done with careful thinking［C］often leads to blaming and misunderstanding［D］is used to warn the child not to do it again3.According to the surveys in the U.S.,_______.［A］bullying among adults is also rising［B］parents are not supervising their children well［C］parents seldom believe bullies［D］most parents resort to calling to deal with bullying4.When bullying occurs,parents should_______.［A］help the bulling child get rid of cruelty［B］resort to the mediator［C］avoid getting too protective［D］resist the temptation of callingura McHugh promised to get the bullied boy tested for diseases because________.［A］her son confessed to being wrong［B］she was afraid to annoy the boy's parent［C］he was likely to be affected by these diseases［D］she wanted to teach her own son a lesson核心词汇blow away*①to completely surprise

第十四天（文化类）(1)Every people uses its own special word to show its ideas and feelings.Someof these expressions are commonly used for manyyears.Others are popular for just a short time. One such American expression is“Where’s the beef? ”It is used when something is not as good as it is said to be. In the early1980s “Where’s the beef? ” was one of the most popular expressions in the United States. It seemed as if everyone using it at the time.Beef, of course, is the meat from a cow, and food is more popular inAmerica than a hamburger made from beef. In the 1960s a businessman namedRay began building small restaurants that sold hamburgers at a low price.Ray called this“McDonald’s”. Ray became one of the richest businessmenat last in America.Other business people watched his success. Someof them opened their own hamburger restaurants. One company called“Wendy’s” said its hamburgers were bigger than those sold by McDonald’s or anyone else. The Wendy’s Company began to use the expression“Where’s the beef?” to make people know that Wendy ’s hamburgers were the biggest. The Wendy’s television advertisement showed three old women eating hamburgers. The bread thatcovered the meat was very big, but inside there was only a bit of meat. Oneof the women said she would not eat a hamburger with such a little piece ofbeef. “Where’s the beef? ” she shouted in a funny way. The advertisementfor Wendy’s hamburger restaurants was success.As we said, it seemed everyone began using the expression“Where’s the beef?”.1. _______ started McDonald ’s restaurant.A. RayB. McDonaldC. WendyD. Three old women2. Other people wanted to open hamburger restaurants because they thought_______.A. they could sell hamburgers at a low priceB. hamburgers were easy to makeC. beef was very popular in AmericaD. they could make a lot of money3.Wendy’s made the expression known to everybody _______.A. with many old women eating hamburgersB. by a television advertisementC. while selling bread with a bit of meat in itD. at the McDonald’s restaurant4.

The hamburgers are not as good as they are said to beC. It is used when something is not as good as it is said to beD.

Millions more watch on television.It all began on May 16, 1929, when 270 men and women sat down to dinnerat the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. There was no secret about the winners.Thenames of the winners had been known for months. Janet Gaynor, for example,had won as Best Actress. Douglas Fairbanks presented her with the famous gold statue( 雕像 ). The little statue was not then called Oscar. Like a new actor, Oscar was unknown. About six years later, it somehowgot that renowned name.A number of explanations have been offered for its origin(由来),but nobody knows the true story for certain.Nowadaysthe results of the Oscar voting are kept secret. Only two people know the winners before the names are announced at the ceremony. The countingof votes is not done by one group of people but by different groups. Nobodyexcept two members of an accounting(计票) company sees the final results.The information is not kept in open files(卷宗). Winners’ na mes are placed in closed envelopes.

答题时间：2017高考英语真题北京卷（阅读理解D篇）Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics（控制论）, put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose put into the machine is the purpo se which we really desire.”A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve itsown existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrate the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformationof these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.67. Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may .A. run out of human controlB. satisfy human’s real desiresC. command armies of killer robotsD. work faster than a mathematician68. Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to .A. prevent themselves from being destroyedB achieve their original goals independentlyC. do anything successfully with given ordersD. beat humans in international chess matches69. According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to .A. help super intelligent machines work betterB. be secure against evil human beingsC. keep machines from being harmedD. avoid robots’ affecting the world70. What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?A. It will disappear with the development of AI.B. It will get worse with human interference.C. It will be solved but with difficulty.D. It will stay for a decade.【答案】67. A 68. A 69. D 70. C【解析】本文主要介绍了人工智能。

以下是店铺为大家搜索整理的17年专八英语考试阅读理解备考训练试题及拓展解析，希望对正在关注的您有所帮助!The Only Way to Travel is on Foot精读原文：The past ages of man have all been carefully labeledby anthropologists. Descriptions like 'PalaeolithicMan', 'Neolithic Man', etc., neatly sum up wholeperiods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentiethcentury, they will surely choose the label'Legless Man'. Histories of the time will go somethinglike this: 'in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women movedabout in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all largebuildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of thattime because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn't use their legs evenwhen they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of everyhuge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks.'The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In ourhurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel givesyou a bird's-eye view of the world – or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get inyour way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantlysmears thewindows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed with the urge to go onand on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for seatravel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: 'Ijoined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.' The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says 'I've been there.'You mention the remotest, mostevocative place-names in the world like El Dorado, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say'I've been there'–meaning, 'I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhereelse. ' When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the futurebecause you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. Butactual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling likethis, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well bedead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him travelingand arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. Heexperiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the endof his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleepwill be his: the just reward of all true travellers.【阅读练习题】1、Anthorpologists label nowaday's men 'Legless' becauseA people forget how to use his legs.B people prefer cars, buses and trains.C lifts and escalators prevent people from walking.D there are a lot of transportation devices.2、Travelling at high speed meansA people's focus on the future.B a pleasure.C satisfying drivers' great thrill.D a necessity of life.3、Why does the author say 'we are deprived of the use of our eyes' ?A People won't use their eyes.B In traveling at high speed, eyes become useless.C People can't see anything on his way of travel.D People want to sleep during travelling.4、What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A Legs become weaker.B Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.C There is no need to use eyes.D The best way to travel is on foot.5.

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(十四)及答案：法学类
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题（十四）及答案：法学类 A white kid sells a bag of cocaine at his suburban high school. A Latino kid does the same in his inner-city neighborhood. Both get caught. Both are first-timeoffenders. The white kid walks into juvenile court with his parents ， his priest ， a good lawyer-and medical coverage. The Latino kid walks into court with his mom ， no legal resources and no insurance. The judge lets the white kid go with his family; he's placed in a private treatment program. The minority kid has no such option. He's detained.There ， in a nutshell ， is what happens more and more often in the juvenile-court system. Minority youths arrested on violent felony charges in California are more than twice as likely as their white counterparts to be transferred out of thejuvenile-justice system and tried as adults ， according to a study released last week by the Justice Policy Institute ， a research center in San Francisco. Once they are in adult courts ， young black offenders are 18 times more likely to be jailed-and Hispanics seven times more likely-than are young white offenders. “Discrimination against kids of color accumulates at every stage of the justice system andskyrockets when juveniles are ， tried as adults ，” says Dan Macallair， a co-author of the new study. “California has a double standard： throw kids of color behind bars ， but .rehabilitate white kids who commit comparable crimes.”Even as juvenile crime has declined from its peak in the early 1990s ， headline grabbing violence by minors has intensified a get-tough attitude. Over the past six years ， 43 states have passed laws that make it easier to try juveniles as adults. In Texas and Connecticut in 1996， the latest year for which figures are available ， all the juveniles in jails were minorities. Vincent Schiraldi ， the Justice Policy Institute's director ， concedes that “some kids need to be tried as adults. But most can be rehabilitated.”Instead ， adult prisons tend to brutalize juveniles. They are eight times more likely to commit suicide and five times more likely to be sexually abused than offenders held in juvenile detention. “Once they get out， they tend to commit more crimes and more violent crimes ，” says Jenni Gainsborough， aspokeswoman for the Sentencing Project ， a reform group in Washington. The system ， in essence ， is training career criminals. And it's doing its worst work among minorities.注(1)本文选自By Anamaria Wilson Time; 02/14/2000， Vol. 155 Issue 6， p68， 1/3p注(2)本文习题命题模仿对象1997年真题text 5(其中因1997年真题text 5只有4个题目，所以本文第4题模仿参照对象为1999年 Text 4的第4题。
2017考研英语暑期阅读训练：历史类(16)
2017考研英语暑期阅读训练：历史类(16)Half the game is 90 percent mental，“Yogi Berra once said，or something like that，and science is now getting around to putting his aphorism to the test. Researchers including Debbie Crews of Arizona State University and John Milton of the University of Chicago have been studying patterns of brain activation——not in baseball players but in golfers，who make better subjects because they don't move around as much and the electrodes stay stuck to their heads. Yogi might have been surprised by the researchers' conclusion，though：the better the golfer，the less brain activity he shows in the seconds before he makes his shot.Crews，a sports psychologist who studies putting——even the minimal agitation of a chip shot can upset her experimental apparatus——has found that a key difference between amateurs and pros lies in the left hemisphere. This is the seat of logic，analysis，verbal reasoning and the kinds of thoughts——Maybe I should just kind of squinch over a little more to the left——that you never imagine crossing Tiger Woods's mind. Professionals，once they've determined how to make a shot，follow an invariable routine that renders conscious thought unnecessary. “How you think is probably more important than what you think，”Crews says. “Quieting the left hemisphere is really critical.”Or，to put it another way，when Milton asked some LPGA golfers what they thought about just before taking a shot，they answered：nothing. To test this，he rounded up a half-dozen pros and an equal number of amateurs and had them imagine making a specific shot——a wedge shot of 100 yards to the green，with no wind——while monitoring their brains in a functional magnetic resonance imaging machine. “The professionals are just much more specialized and efficient，”Milton says. “You put in a quarter and you get your shot.”The amateurs，by contrast，showed more total brain activation，involving more areas of the brain. In particular，amateurs activated the basal ganglia——involved in learning motor functions——and the basal forebrain and amygdala，responsible for，among other functions，emotions. “They're not fearful or anxious，”Milton says，“but they get overwhelmed by details，by the memories of all the shots they've missed in the past.”Some of his subjects worried about hitting the ball into the water，which was curious，because he hadn't even mentioned a water hazard in describing the imaginary shot to them.Professional athletes，as a rule，know how to keep focus，although there are exceptions，like Chuck Knoblauch，the Yankee second baseman who suddenly lost the ability to make a routine throw to first base. Milton is already trying to apply these lessons to stroke and other rehabilitation patients who have to relearn skills like walking; he recommends putting more emphasis on visualization and improving mental focus. In many aspects of life，it seems，half the game really is 90 percent mental.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek; 6/2/2003，p14;注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题Text 4(个别题目顺序加以调整);1.

中考阅读理解之社会历史类专训(有答案)
阅读理解之社会历史类专训(一)We are all busy talking about and using the Internet,but how many of us know about the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s.At that time,computers were large and puter networks(网络) didn’ t work well.If one computer in the network broke down,then the whole network stopped.So a new network system(系统) had to be set up.It should be good enough to be used by many different computers.If part of the network was not working,information could be sent through another part.In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first,the Internet was only used by the government,but,in the early 1970s,universities,hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too.However,computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to use.By the start of the 1990s,computers become cheaper and easier to use.Scientists had also developed software(软件) that made “surfing(浏览)” the Internet more conveninent(方便).Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’ s life.1.The Internet has a history of ______ years.A.about 40B.less than 30C.more than 45D.nearly 352.Scientists set up a new network system to ______.A.make the computer cheaperB.make the system work wellC.make the computer go wellD.develop new softwares3.The Internet was widely used in the ______.A.1960sB.1970sC.1980sD.1990s4.The underlined words “get on-line” in Chinese mean ______.A.上机B.上网C.接线D.买电脑5.Which of the following is NOT true?A.In the 1960s computer network system went wrong easily.puters are much cheaper than before.C.Today the Internet is used everywhere.D.People had enough softwares to get on-line fifteen years ago.(二)Nanjing ( meaning southern capital ) is one of the six ancient（古代的）capitals of China. Now Nanjing is the capital of Jiangsu province （省）with an area of 860 square kilometres.During Ming Dynasty（朝代），Nanjing got its present name. Over the long period of history, it had other names like Moling, Stone City, Jianye, Jiankang, Baixia, Shangyuan, Shenzhou, Jiangning, Jiqing, Yingtian and Tianjing. Its name may be different, but the city itself kept it known for its ancient history （历史）and many other places of interest. So it takes an important place in Chinese history.Today the city changes a lot. Nanjing is a pretty place, with tree-lined streets, hills and lakes and has many place of interest to visit.The Qinhuai River is very beautiful at night. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was thefamous （著名的）red-light districts.

The word “ bargin” here means ________.A. 契约B. 合同C.商品D.讨价还价(三)Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain’smost famous historical places but also one of its greatestmysteries. Every year it receives more than 750,000 visitors.People like to go to this place especially in June as they want tosee the sun rising on the longest day of the year.For many years, historians(历史学家) believedStonehenge was a temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods. However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can’t be true because Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points out.Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put together in a certain way. On midsummer’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones. Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,” said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial(埋葬) place or a place to honor ancestors(祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost 5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn’t. “We don’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps wemight never know, but we do know they must have been hard-working — and great planners!”1.

The ship was the world’s largest and mostluxurious（豪华的）one at that time.High-class facilities（设备）for passengers including restaurants, a library and a swimming pool made the ship like a floating hotel. More importantly,its owners and builders said it was unsinkable（不会下沉的）.However, on April 15, the ship sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean and killed over 1,500 people.This April 15, on the 100th anniversary（周年纪念）of the sinking of the Titanic, people in the UK and US will hold activities to remember the event. James Cameron’s 1997 film, Titanic, was a huge hit all around the world. Now the 3-D film will come to Chinese theaters on April 10. It is a love story between a poor young man named Jack and a rich young woman named Rose on the unlucky ship. In Belfast, UK, the port of the Titanic’s birth, a museum called Titanic Belfast will open to the public.Today, the sinking of the Titanic is not just an accident. It has become a popular expression to mean a large disaster or mistake, usually because of too much confidence.In the UK, if somebody says that his or her mobile phone is really great and could never break, others might say, “Yeah, and people said the Titanic was unsinkable.” In other words, no matter how confident or proud people are about something, anything can go wrong.43. The first and second paragraph mainly tells us _____.A. Titanic had High-class facilitiesB. the ship was built in 1912C. what kind of ship Titanic wasD. Titanic was like a hotel44.

Through the passage, the writer wants to tell us that _____.A. Titanic was an unlucky shipB. any mobile phone can go wrongC. the 3-D film “Titanic” will be put on in ChinaD. never being too confident or proud about anything(五)London’s Chinese community (社区) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as “Chinatown”. However, London’s Chinese community remained very small for many years: at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled (定居) in a different area—a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.At first, the new immigrants (移民) found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.1. When did the first Chinese immigrants come to London?A. In the 1950s.B. More than 200 years ago.C. After the Second World War.D. At the start of the 20th century.2. Why did many Chinese immigrants come to London in 1950s?A.

According to this passage, if people live in the outskirts of a city, they live ______.A. in the villageB. far away from the cityC. in the centre of the cityD. in the outer areas of the city(六)The great fire of 1666 started in the house of a person who made bread in Pudding Lane，near London Bridge．In four days it destroyed four-fifths of the city as it then was，where most of the houses were made of wood．Thirteen thousand houses including one hundred churches，the Royal Exchange，even the Guild-hall(会馆)itself went up in the fire．About 1 00，000 people became homeless．Yet in about ten years all the houses had been rebuilt．and all the famous buildings，too．Why could the fire cause such great pain and loss? In the early days there were no teams of men who put out fires．Since then firemen were made up and Fire Sevice Stations were developed quickly．47．The great fire began in a _______ ．A．church near London Bridge B．hotel next to the Guild-hallC．place where bread was cooked D．building in Pudding Lane48．Guild-hall is the name of a _______．A．famous building B．common houseC．city in British D．church in London49．The fire made so many people homeless because _______．A．the houses were all made of wood at that timeB．the fire couldn’t be controlled quicklyC．the firemen didn’t arrive soon enoughD．the old houses needed to be built again50．The passage suggests that _______.A．nothing can control fireB．there is not enough water in LondonC．fire is the most dangerous to peopleD．bad things can be turned to good(七)If we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep touch with the other sex(性别) in public instead of in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. First of all, you can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into the ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.61. The main idea of the passage is to _______.A. tell students to keep away from early loveB. give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsC. tell students how to make friendsD. teach boys how to talk with girls62. We should keep touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT _______.A. with a good state of mindB. in real friendshipC. in publicD. in secret63. If you are a shy person, you can ________.A. find friends with the same interest and hobby firstB. only have a few friends of the same sexC. not make friends with the other sexD. not fall in love with other students easily64. What does the underlined word “ditch” mean?A. 波浪B. 泥潭C. 圈套D. 迷惑65. A person at adolescence is ________.A. complicated(复杂的)in feelingsB. good at making friends with each otherC. old enough to fall in loveD. easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love(八)My favourite shop is called ‘Model World’. It is on the second floor of Happy Plaza, near to Pizza Club. It is open from 10 a. m. to 8 p.m. every day.‘Model World’ sells all kinds of models. It has model soldiers, cars, boats, airplanes, space shuttles(航天飞机)and even dinosaurs. It has models for young children and models for adults(成人).

They are very interested in making models. They will give you advice, and answer all of your questions. The prices are not low but they are not high. My best toy was a model of a helicopter.(直升飞机).

Hidden valley looks a lot like the dozens of other camps that dot the woods of central Maine. There's a lake，some soccer fields and horses. But the campers make the difference. They're all American parents who have adopted kids from China. They're at Hidden Valley to find bridges from their children's old worlds to the new. Diana Becker of Montville，Maine，watches her 3-year-old daughter Mika dance to a Chinese version of “Twinkle，Twinkle Little Star.”“Her soul is Chinese，”she says，“but really she's growing up American.”Hidden Valley and a handful of other “culture camps”serving families with children from overseas reflect the huge rise in the number of foreign adoptions，from 7，093 in 1990 to 15，774 last year. Most children come from Russia (4，491last year) and China (4，206) but there are also thousands of others adopted annually from South America，Asia and Eastern Europe. After cutting through what can be miles of red tape，parents often come home to find a new dilemma. “At first you think，'I need a child'，”says Sandy Lachter of Washington，D.C.，who with her husband，Steve，adopted Amelia，5，from China in 1995. “Then you think，'What does the child need?' ”The culture camps give families a place to find answers to those kinds of questions. Most grew out of local support groups; Hidden Valley was started last year by the Boston chapter of Families with Children from China，which includes 650 families. While parents address weighty issues like how to raise kids in a mixed-race family，their children just have fun riding horses，singing Chinese songs or making scallion pancakes. “My philosophy of camping is that they could be doing anything，as long as they see other Chinese kids with white parents，”says the director，Peter Kassen，whose adopted daughters Hope and Lily are 6 and 4.The camp is a continuation of language and dance classes many of the kids attend during the year. “When we rented out a theater for 'Mulan，' it was packed，”says Stephen Chen of Boston，whose adopted daughter Lindsay is 4. Classes in Chinese language，art and calligraphy are taught by experts，like Renne Lu of the Greater Boston Chinese Cultural Center. “Our mission is to preserve the heritage，”Lu says.Kids who are veteran campers say the experience helps them understand their complex heritage. Sixteen-year-old Alex was born in India and adopted by Kathy and David Brinton of Boulder，Colo.，when he was 7. “I went through a stage where I hated India，hated everything about it，”he says. “You just couldn't mention India to me.”But after six sessions at the East India Colorado Heritage Camp，held at Snow Mountain Ranch in Estes Park，Colo.，he hopes to travel to India after he graduates from high school next year.Camp can be a learning experience for the whole family. Whitney Ning，23，a counselor for four years，says the Korea Heritage Camp helped her become closer to her parents. “They were hesitant at first，”she says，“but when they saw how much it meant to me，they became very supportive.”Sometimes the most direct route around the world is across a campfire.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek; 10/04/99，p75;注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题Text 1;1.

考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案：历史学类(16套)
考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案：历史学类(16套)The establishment of the Third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The compete destruction of democracy， the persecution of Jews， the war on religion， the cruelty and barbarism of the Nazis， and especially the plans of Germany and her allies， Italy and Japan， for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against Hitler‘s atrocities， the American people generally favored isolationist policies and neutrality. The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the President was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion.American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt‘s “quarantine the aggressor” speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler’s policies. Germany‘s seizure of Austria and the Munich Pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938) also aroused the American people. The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March， 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the Third Reich. In August，1939 came the shock of the Nazi-soviet Pact and in September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European war. The United States attempted to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democracies arrayed against the Third Reich. The Neutrality Act of 1939 repealed the arms embargo and permitted “cash and carry” exports of arms to belligerent nations. A strong national defense program was begun. A draft act was passed (1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend Act (1941) authorized the President to sell， exchange， or lend materials to any country deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain by exchanging certain overage destroyers for the right to establish American bases in British territory in the Western Hemisphere. In August， 1940 President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war. In December， 1941， Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor. Immediately thereafter， Germany declared war on the United States.1.One item occurring before 1937 that the author does not mention in his list of actions that alienated the American public was[A] the burning of the Reichstag.[B] German plans for conquest.[C] Nazi barbarism.[D] the persecution of religious groups.2.The Lend-Lease Act was designed to[A] help the British.[B] strengthen the national defense of the United States.[C] promote the Atlantic Charter.[D] avenge Pearl Harbor.3.American Policy during the years 1935-1936 may be described as being[A] watchful.[B] isolationist.[C] peaceful.[D] indifferent.4.The Neutrality Act of 1939[A] permitted the selling of arms to belligerent nations.[B] antagonized Japan.[C] permitted the British to trade only with the Allies.[D] led to Lend-Lease Act.5.We entered the war against Germany[A] because Germany declared war.[B] because Japan was an ally of Germany.[C] after Germany had signed the Nazi-soviet Pact.[D] after peaceful efforts had failed.写作方法与文章大意文章讲述了第三帝国成立，美国由中立到宣战的一段历史。

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考研英语阅读暑期训练：教育类（14）When it comes to schooling，the Herrera boys are no match for the Herrera girls. Last week，four years after she arrived from Honduras，Martha，20，graduated from Fairfax High School in Los Angeles. She managed decent grades while working 36 hours a week at a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Her sister，Marlin，22，attends a local community college and will soon be a certified nurse assistant. The brothers are a different story. Oscar，17，was expelled two years ago from Fairfax for carrying a knife and later dropped out of a different school. The youngest，Jonathan，15，is now in a juvenile boot camp after running into trouble with the law. “The boys get sidetracked more，”says the kids' mother，Suyapa Landaverde. “The girls are more confident.”This is no aberration. Immigrant girls consistently outperform boys，according to the preliminary findings of a just-completed，five-year study of immigrant children——the largest of its kind，including Latino，Chinese and Haitian kids——by Marcelo and Carola Suarez-Orozco of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Though that trend holds for U.S.-born kids as well，the reasons for the discrepancy among immigrants are different. The study found that immigrant girls are more adept at straddling cultures than boys. “The girls are able to retain some of the protective features of [their native] culture”because they're kept closer to the hearth，says Marcelo Suarez-Orozco，“while they maximize their acquisition of skills in the new culture”by helping their parents navigate it.Consider the kids' experiences in school. The study found that boys face more peer pressure to adopt American youth culture——the dress，the slang，the disdain for education. They're disciplined more often and，as a result，develop more adversarial relationships with teachers——and the wider society. They may also face more debilitating prejudices. One teacher interviewed for the study said that the “cultural awareness training” she received as part of her continuing education included depictions of Latino boys as “aggressive” and “really macho” and of the girls as “pure sweetness.”Gender shapes immigrant kids' experiences outside school as well. Often hailing from traditional cultures，the girls face greater domestic obligations. They also frequently act as “cultural ambassadors，”translating for parents and mediating between them and the outside world，says Carola Suarez-Orozco. An unintended consequence：“The girls get foisted into a responsible role more than the boys do.”Take Christina Im，18，a junior at Fairfax who arrived from South Korea four years ago. She ranks ninth in a class of 400 students and still finds time to fix dinner for the family and work on Saturdays at her mother's clothing shop. Her brother? “He plays computer games，”says Im.The Harvard study bears a cautionary note：If large numbers of immigrant boys continue to be alienated academically——and to be clear，plenty perform phenomenally——they risk sinking irretrievably into an economic underclass. Oscar Herrera，Martha's dropout brother，may be realizing that. “I'm thinking of returning to school，”he recently told his mother. He ought to look to his sisters for guidance.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek，7/1/2002，p51;注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2005年真题Text 1.1. In the opening paragraph，the author introduces his topic by[A]posing a contrast[B]justifying an assumption[C]making a comparison[D]explaining a phenomenon2. The statement “they also frequently act as ‘cultural ambassadors’”(Line two，Paragraph4) implies that[A]they work as a translator for their parents[B]they help their parents have a better understanding of the foreign culture[C]they encourage their parents to go into the outside world[D]their parents help them realize their dream of becoming an ambassador.3. Immigrant boys do not fare well in the outside world because of the following reasons，except that[A]American youth culture has a bad influence on the boys[B]people have prejudice against them[C]their sense of responsibility is not as strong as that of the girls[D]they do not get well along with the teachers and the outside world4. Marcelo and Carola Suarez-Orozco have eventually found in their study that[A]the immigrant boys should not be allowed to go into the outside world[B]the immigrant boys have no judgment about the youth culture[C]the immigrant girls do a better job than the immigrant boys[D]the immigrant boys should be severely disciplined5. What can we infer from the last paragraph?[A]All the dropouts should receive good education.[B]Many immigrant boys are likely to fall into trouble in the future.[C]Schooling education has been neglected.[D]More attention should be paid to the immigrant children.答案：CBACB。

On this one point George W. Bush and Al Gore would agree：our schools need more Marilyn Whirrys. For 35 years，Whirry has inspired high school students to think deeply about great literature and to use its devices in their writing. She is the kind of teacher that students come back to visit decades later in her classroom in Manhattan Beach，Calif. Last May a national educators' group named her its Teacher of the Year. And with the nation's public schools planning to hire 2.5 million new teachers over the next decade，Whirry is excited that each presidential candidate is pushing ways to recruit，train and reward better teachers. “They're both talking about teacher quality，”she says. “We have a real opportunity right now.”Bush's plan combines most existing federal funds for professional development and class-size reduction into a flexible new fund for teacher training and recruitment，and he adds $400 million a year in new money. Bush would allow states to spend the funds as they see fit——so long as they establish teacher-accountability systems. This is similar to what Ronald Reagan did in the 1980s. But then，says Emily Feistritzer，president of the Center for Education Information，“the money disappeared.”Under Bush's plan，she says，“I worry that the money won't go where it's intended to once it reaches the states.”Bush would expand funding from $2.4 million to $30 million for the Troops to Teachers program，which places veterans who want to teach in public schools. The program makes use of people like Arthur Moore，who retired in 1994 after 21 years in the Army and knew he wanted to teach. “There are a lot of people who would make excellent teachers but are discouraged by the bureaucracy of the certification process，”says Moore，45，who began teaching fourth grade in Baltimore and now tests students for special education. “Troops to Teachers is an excellent way to tap their potential by lowering the barriers.”Bush would also expand loan forgiveness for math and science majors who teach in needy schools.Gore's plan，endorsed by the teachers' unions，would spend $8 billion over 10 years to help recruit 1 million new teachers，with provisions for college aid，loan forgiveness and signing bonuses. Gore would spend an additional $8 billion to provide raises of as much as $5，000 each to teachers in poor districts that have adopted aggressive plans to improve teacher quality，plus as much as $10，000 each to teachers certified by a national board. Gore would also require states to ensure that all new teachers pass rigorous assessments. Says Feistritzer：“Gore's proposal might be a little excessive in the number of teachers he wants to recruit，but his teacher testing is exactly what we need.”注(1)：本文选自Time;11/06/2000，p88，2/3p，1c注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2005年真题text 1第一题(1)，2001年真题text 4第2题(2)和第3题(4)，text 3第1题(5)和第2题(3)1.

I am a hip-hop head for life. I have tagged my moniker——“kepo1”——on walls; break-danced on cardboard; bumped elbows with fellow hip-hoppers at legendary clubs like The Rooftop，Union Square and Latin Quarter in New York City，and done everything from organizing rap shows to working as a hip-hop journalist and managing music producers. This culture has not only rescued the lives of countless masses who look like me，but it has empowered more young，working-class black and Latino cats than the civil-rights movement.
Yet something peculiar erupts when you've been around hip-hop for a while. Although you still love it，you look at its culture from a more critical perspective，particularly if you have studied other music genres，traveled widely and reflected intensely. You realize that what began as party music has come to be the soundtrack for post-civil-rights America. You realize that hip-hop is urban folk art，and as much an indication of the conditions in impoverished areas as bluesman Robert Johnson's laments in the 1930s. Naturally，you see a connection between the lives of Johnson and Tupac Shakur，not to mention a not-so-funny link between the mainstream hyping of Elvis and Eminem as innovators of black music forms. And，for sure，you wonder，loudly，if what happened to rock and roll will happen to hip-hop，if it hasn't already.
That is the external battle for hip-hop today：corporate control and cooptation. But there is also a civil war going on within the hip-hop nation. Part of it，unquestionably，has to do with this corporate stranglehold. Part of it has to do with the incredibly apolitical times in which we live：for some white Americans the current economic boom has created the myth that things are swell for all Americans. Not the case; 20 years after the Reagan backlash on civil rights，the influx of crack and guns and the acceleration of a disturbing class divide in black America，hip-hop has come to symbolize a generation fragmented by integration，migration，abandonment，alienation and，yes，self-hatred. Thus，hip-hop，once vibrant，edgy，fresh and def，is now as materialistic，hedonistic，misogynistic，shallow and violent as some of the films and TV shows launched from Hollywood.
It wasn't always that way. But，unfortunately，the golden era of hip-hop——that period in the late '80s and early '90s when such diverse artists as Public Enemy，N.W.A，Queen Latifah，MC Hammer，LL Cool J and De La Soul coexisted and there was no such thing as “positive”or “negative”rap——has long been dead. Gone as well is an embrace of hip-hop's four elements：graffiti writing，the dance element (or what some call break-dancing)，DJing and MCing. The MC or “rapper”has been singled out to be his own man in this very male-centered arena，and the formula for a hit record is simple：fancy yourself a thug，pimp or gangster; rhyme about jewelry，clothing and alcohol; denigrate women in every conceivable way，and party and b.s. ad nauseam.
