[A] place[B] back[C] side[D] frontSection III: Reading ComprehensionEach of the two passages below is followed by five questions. For each question there are four answers. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put your choice in the brackets on the left. (10 points)Text 1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists.” And these “generalists” are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained” man; and his educational background is properly tec hnical or professional. The generalist -- and especially the administrator -- deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you -- but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26. There is an increasing demand for ________.[A] all round people in their own fields[B] people whose job is to organize other people’s work[C] generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional[D] specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27. The specialist is ________.[A] a man whose job is to train other people[B] a man who has been trained in more than one fields[C] a man who can see the forest rather than the trees[D] a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28. The administrator is ________.[A] a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalist[B] a man who sees the trees as well as the forest[C] a man who is very strong in the humanities[D] a man who is an “educated” specialist29. During your training period, it is important ________.[A] to try to be a generalist[B] to choose a profitable job[C] to find an organization which fits you[D] to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist30. A man’s first job ________.[A] is never the right job for him[B] should not be regarded as his final job[C] should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job[D] is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobTest 2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man. It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world -- the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre, thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia -- a region rich in forest and mining industries. Apart from a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry, or settlement.31. The best title for this selection would be ________.[A] Iceland[B] Land of Opportunity[C] The Unknown Continent[D] Utopia at Last32. At the time this article was written, our knowledge of Antarctica was ________.[A] very limited[B] vast[C] fairly rich[D] nonexistent33. Antarctica is bordered by the ________.[A] Pacific Ocean[B] Indian Ocean[C] Atlantic Ocean[D] All three34. The Antarctic is made uninhabitable primarily by ________.[A] cold air[B] calm seas[C] ice[D] lack of knowledge about the continent35. According to this article ________.[A] 2,000 people live on the Antarctic Continent[B] a million people live within 2,000 miles of the South Pole[C] weather conditions within a 2,000 mile radius of the South Pole make settlementsimpractical[D] only a handful of natives inhabit AntarcticaSection IV: Structure and VocabularyFill in the blanks with the words which best complete the sentences.

III Reading ComprehensionEach of the two passages below is followed by five questions.For each question there are four answers.Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.Put your choice in the brackets on the left.(10points)Text1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization.Youfind these careers in engineering,in production,in statistical work,and in teaching.But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance,people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field.There is,in other words,a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees,of making general judgments.We can call these people“generalists.”And these“generalists”are particularly needed for positions in administration,where it is their job to see that other people do the work,where they have to plan for other people,to organize other people’s work,to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field;his concern is with technique and tools.He is a “trained”man;and his educational background is properly technical or professional.The generalist--and especially the administrator--deals with people;his concern is with leadership, with planning,and with direction giving.He is an“educated”man;and the humanities are his strongest foundation.Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator.And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field.Any organization needs both kinds of people,though different organizations need them in different proportions.It is your task to find out,during your training period,into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit,and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you--but this is pure accident.Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job.At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job;it is primarily a training job,an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26.There is an increasing demand for________.[A]all round people in their own fields[B]people whose job is to organize other people’s work[C]generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional[D]specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27.The specialist is________.[A]a man whose job is to train other people[B]a man who has been trained in more than one fields[C]a man who can see the forest rather than the trees[D]a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28.The administrator is________.[A]a“trained”man who is more a specialist than a generalist[B]a man who sees the trees as well as the forest[C]a man who is very strong in the humanities[D]a man who is an“educated”specialist29.During your training period,it is important________.[A]to try to be a generalist[B]to choose a profitable job[C]to find an organization which fits you[D]to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist30.A man’s first job________.[A]is never the right job for him[B]should not be regarded as his final job[C]should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job[D]is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobText2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and,until recent times,unknown to man.It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain.Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps.Man has explored,on foot,less than one per cent of its area.Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions.The Arctic is an ocean,covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe,Asia,and North America.The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined,centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world--the Atlantic,Pacific,and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre,thus,the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions.This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited.Thus,more than a million persons live within2,000miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska,Siberia,and Scandinavia--a region rich in forest and mining industries.Apart from a handful of weather stations,within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry,or settlement.31.The best title for this selection would be________.[A]Iceland[B]Land of Opportunity[C]The Unknown Continent[D]Utopia at Last32.At the time this article was written,our knowledge of Antarctica was________.[A]very limited[B]vast[C]fairly rich[D]nonexistent33.Antarctica is bordered by the________.[A]Pacific Ocean[B]Indian Ocean[C]Atlantic Ocean[D]All three34.The Antarctic is made uninhabitable primarily by________.[A]cold air[B]calm seas[C]ice[D]lack of knowledge about the continent35.According to this article________.[A]2,000people live on the Antarctic Continent[B]a million people live within2,000miles of the South Pole[C]weather conditions within a2,000mile radius of the South Pole make settlementsimpractical[D]only a handful of natives inhabit AntarcticaSection IV Structure and VocabularyFill in the blanks with the words which best complete the sentences.Put your

in the past.[A]remembers[B]memorizes[C]reminds[D]reflects37.If I take this medicine twice a day it should________my cold.[A]heat[C]treat[D]recover38.I could just see a car in the distance,but I

二、试题具体分析1. ［A］so 这么，那么［B］more 更多［C］else 其他的，别的［D］another 另外一个本题考核的知识点是：固定搭配+副词用法。

［快速解题］空格所在部分For an hour or 1 是句子的时间状语，考生要判断选项中哪个副词代入能符合这一结构并使文意通顺。

…or so 是固定搭配，用在数字之后，表示“…左右，…上下”，for an hour or so 指“一个小时左右”，说明了时间，符合文意。

因此选［A］so。

［篇章分析］文章第①句总说，交待人物（A nn i e）、时间（每周三下午）、地点（城镇）、活动内容（购物）。

②③具体讲述活动内容：首先购买所需物品（②句），然后到家具店“橱窗购物”（③句）。

句间通过On Wednesday afternoons —F or an hour or so—And then—another hour 时间链条，in the market—u p and down between the stalls—（l eave the market）for the streets—furniture shop 地点链条实现衔接。

［空格设置］此处考查so 用作副词的一个惯用语…or so，表示约指，例句：There were 20 people or so there.那儿差不多有20 个人。

［干扰项设置］其他项都是常用的副词。

else 用于疑问句或nothing，something，everybody 等之后，如：What else did he say?他还说了些什么？or else 意为“要不然，否则”，是连词词组，引导句子，如：Hurry up or else you’ll be late. 快点，否则你就要迟到了。

1986考研英语一真题及答案

1986考研英语一真题及答案哎呀，说起 1986 年的考研英语一真题，那可真是有得聊啦！我记得当年我准备考研的时候，到处搜罗各种真题资料，当我拿到1986 年的这份真题时，心里那叫一个期待又紧张。

打开试卷，首先映入眼帘的是那些密密麻麻的英文单词和句子。

就说阅读理解部分吧，那些文章的主题五花八门，有关于科学研究的，有探讨社会现象的。

其中有一篇讲的是关于新型能源的开发利用，文章里的专业术语可真不少，读起来还真有点费劲。

不过我静下心来，一个词一个词地去理解，一句一句地去分析，慢慢就找到了感觉。

再看看翻译题，那可真是对词汇量和语法知识的双重考验。

有一个句子是“ The importance of environmental protection cannot be overemphasized” 当时我就在想，这可不能翻译成“环境保护的重要性不能被过分强调”，得调整一下语序，变成“环境保护的重要性怎么强调都不为过。

” 做完这道题，我深深地吸了一口气，感觉自己像是打了一场小战役。

还有作文题，要求写一篇关于“科技对生活的影响”的议论文。

我当时就在脑海里迅速搜索各种例子和观点，什么智能手机让人们的沟通更便捷啦，互联网让信息获取更容易啦。

但是想要把这些想法有条理地用英语表达出来，还真不是一件容易的事儿。

现在回过头来看1986 年的考研英语一真题答案，真的是感慨万千。

每一道题的答案背后，都隐藏着无数的知识点和解题技巧。

比如说，那道关于词汇辨析的选择题，答案选的是“prevalent”而不是“dominant”，仔细一分析，原来是因为语境强调的是普遍存在的情况，而“prevalent”更能准确表达这个意思。

总的来说，1986 年的考研英语一真题虽然和现在的题型、难度有所不同，但它所考察的英语基础知识和运用能力的核心是不变的。

通过研究这份真题，我们可以更好地了解考研英语的出题思路和规律，为我们的备考打下坚实的基础。

就像我当年，通过反复钻研这些真题，不断总结经验，英语水平有了很大的提高。

Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Put your choice in the brackets on the left. (10 points)Text 1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there isan increasing d emand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance, p eople whoperhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand forpeople who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments.We can call these people “generalists.” And these “generalists” are particu positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, wherethey have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it The specialist u nderstands o ne field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is aman; and his educational b ackground is properly technical or professional. T he“trained”　generalist -- and especially the administrator -- deals with people; his concern is with leadership,with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated” man; and the hu his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And veryrarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field. Any organization needs bothkinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is yourtask to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and toplan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you -- but this is pure accident. Certainlyyou should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to holdany job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily atraining job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26. There is an increasing demand for ________.[A] all round people in their own fields[B] people whose job is to organize other people’s work[C] generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional[D] specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27. The specialist is ________.[A] a man whose job is to train other people[B] a man who has been trained in more than one fields[C] a man who can see the forest rather than the trees[D] a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28. The administrator is ________.[A] a “trained” man who is more a specialist than a generalist[B] a man who sees the trees as well as the forest[C] a man who is very strong in the humanities[D] a man who is an “educated” specialist29.

A man’s first job ________.[A] is never the right job for him[B] should not be regarded as his final job[C] should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job[D] is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobText 2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man. It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world -- the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre, thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold air current fromthe land is so forceful that it makes t he nearby seas t he stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia -- a region rich in forest and mining industries. Apart from a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry, or settlement.31. The best title for this selection would be ________.[A] Iceland[B] Land of Opportunity[C] The Unknown Continent[D] Utopia at Last32.

According to this article ________.[A] 2,000 people live on the Antarctic Continent[B] a million people live within 2,000 miles of the South Pole[C] weather conditions within a 2,000 mile radius of the South Pole make settlementsimpractical[D] only a handful of natives inhabit AntarcticaSection IV Structure and VocabularyFill in the blanks with the words which best complete the sentences.
