(10 points)Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we wouldmove quickly to the cashless society in which all payments are madeelectronically. 1 a true cashless society is probably not around the corner.Indeed, predictions have been 2 for two decades but have not yet come tofruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means ofpayment would soon "revolutionize the very 3 of money itself," only to 4 itselfseveral years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so 5 incoming?Although electronic means of payment may be more efficient than a paymentssystem based on paper, several factors work 6 the disappearance of the papersystem.

The18 of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a new field of computer science isdeveloping to 19 security issues. A further concern is that the use of electronic means of payment leaves an electronic 20 that contains a large amountof personal data.

For each question, four answers are given. Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question.The Industrial Revolution was a period of major industrialization and innovation that began in the late 18th century in Britain and spread to the restof the world over the next few decades. It marked a significant shift from an agrarian society to an industrial one, with profound impacts on society, economy, and technology.During the Industrial Revolution, there were several key technological advancements that played a crucial role in transforming the way goods were produced and transported. One of the most significant was the steam engine, which was developed by James Watt in the 18th century. This invention greatly increased the efficiency of factories and made it possible for goods to be produced on a much larger scale.Another important development was the spinning jenny, a machine that allowed for the mass production of thread. This invention, credited to James Hargreaves, revolutionized the textile industry and led to the growth of factories that were powered by water and steam.The railway system also emerged during this period, making transportation of goods and people much faster and more efficient. The first steam-powered locomotive, designed by George Stephenson, was completed in 1825, and it marked the beginning of the railway age.The Industrial Revolution had a profound impact on society as well. It led to the rise of the working class, as people moved from rural areas to urban centers in search of employment. This shift resulted in the development of new social and political structures, including labor unions and factories. It also brought about significant changes in the way people lived, with the advent ofnew forms of entertainment, such as theaters and music halls.1、What was the main purpose of the Industrial Revolution?A、To improve the quality of life for all people.B、To shift from an agrarian society to an industrial one.C、To increase the production of goods and services.D、To promote the spread of democracy and equality.2、Who is credited with the development of the steam engine?A、George StephensonB、James HargreavesC、James WattD、Richard Arkwright3、What impact did the spinning jenny have on the textile industry?A、It reduced the number of workers needed.B、It increased the efficiency of thread production.C、It decreased the quality of the thread produced.D、It made the textile industry less profitable.4、How did the railway system contribute to the Industrial Revolution?A、It decreased the cost of transportation.B、It decreased the speed of transportation.C、It increased the cost of transportation.D、It decreased the number of jobs in the transportation industry.5、What was one of the social impacts of the Industrial Revolution?A、The decline of rural communities.B、The rise of the working class.C、The decrease in the number of factories.D、The disappearance of theaters and music halls.第三题PassageThe concept of the “digital divide” has been around for a long time, but it’s only recently that we’ve begun to understand its full implications. In its simplest form, the digital divide refers to the gap between those who have ready access to computers and the internet, and those who do not. This gap can be seen along socioeconomic lines, with wealthier individuals and communities having greater access to technology than their less affluent counterparts. However, the digital divide is more complex than just a matter of income; it also encompasses issues of age, education, and even geography.In developed countries, the focus has often been on ensuring that all citizens, regardless of their economic status, have access to the internet. Governments and non-profit organizations have launched initiatives aimed at providing low-cost or free broadband services to underserved areas. Despite these efforts, disparities still exist. For example, rural areas often lag behind urban centers in terms of internet speed and availability, making it harder for residents to take advantage of online educational resources or telemedicine services.On the other hand, in developing nations, the digital divide can be even more pronounced. Here, the lack of infrastructure means that large portions of the population are completely cut off from the benefits of the digital age. Efforts to bridge this gap have included the distribution of smartphones and the establishment of public Wi-Fi hotspots, but these solutions often face challenges such as limited electricity supply and high data costs.As technology continues to advance, so too does the importance of bridging the digital divide. In an increasingly connected world, being on the wrong side of the divide can mean missing out on opportunities for education, employment, and social interaction. Moreover, as more and more essential services move online, those without access risk being left behind in a way that could have significant consequences for their quality of life.Addressing the digital divide requires a multifaceted approach, including investment in infrastructure, support for digital literacy programs, and policies that ensure affordable access to technology. Only by working together can we hope to create a truly inclusive digital future where everyone, no matter where they live or what their background, has the opportunity to participate and thrive in the 21st-century economy.1、According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor contributing to the digital divide?•A) Socioeconomic status•B) Age•C) Education•D) GenderAnswer: D) Gender2、What challenge do rural areas in developed countries often face in terms of the digital divide?•A) High cost of internet services•B) Lack of interest in using the internet•C) Slower internet speeds and lower availability•D) Overcrowded Wi-Fi hotspotsAnswer: C) Slower internet speeds and lower availability3、Which of the following measures is mentioned as a way to address the digital divide in developing nations?•A) Building more schools•B) Increasing the number of public libraries•C) Distributing smartphones and establishing public Wi-Fi hotspots •D) Providing free healthcare servicesAnswer: C) Distributing smartphones and establishing public Wi-Fi hotspots4、Why is bridging the digital divide becoming increasingly important as technology advances?•A) Because it ensures equal access to entertainment•B) Because it prevents people from accessing essential online services •C) Because it guarantees faster internet speeds for everyone•D) Because it helps reduce the cost of technologyAnswer: B) Because it prevents people from accessing essential online services5、What does the passage suggest is needed to effectively address the digital divide?•A) Investment in infrastructure, digital literacy programs, and policies for affordable access•B) Increased funding for traditional media•C) Restrictions on the use of smartphones•D) More emphasis on physical books and printed materialsAnswer: A) Investment in infrastructure, digital literacy programs, and policies for affordable access第四题Reading PassageAs the world becomes more and more complex, the importance of clear thinking and effective communication becomes increasingly important. One way to improve these skills is through the study of rhetoric, the art of persuasive communication. Rhetoric has been used for centuries to persuade people, whether in politics, business, or everyday life. In this article, we will explore the basics of rhetoric and how it can be applied in various contexts.Rhetoric is based on three key elements: ethos, logos, and pathos. Ethos refers to the credibility and character of the speaker or writer. Logos is the logical appeal of the argument, and pathos is the emotional appeal. A skilled rhetorician knows how to use these elements to persuade their audience.One of the most famous examples of rhetoric in action is the speech givenby Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement. King’s speech, “I Have a Dream,” was a powerful example of how ethos, logos, and pathos could be used to persuade a large audience. He established his ethos by presenting himself as a moral leader and a credible source of information. He used logos by presenting a logical argument for equality, and he used pathos by appealing to the emotions of his audience.In today’s world, effective commun ication is more important than ever. Here are some ways in which rhetoric can be applied:1.In politics, rhetoric is used to persuade voters to support certain candidates or policies.2.In business, rhetoric is used to persuade customers to buy products or services.3.In education, rhetoric is used to teach students how to communicate effectively.4.In everyday life, rhetoric is used to resolve conflicts and build relationships.Now, read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.Passage:The use of rhetoric in advertising has become increasingly sophisticated over the years. Advertisers understand that people are not just interested in the features of a product; they are also interested in how the product makes them feel. This is where pathos comes into play. Advertisers use emotional appeals to create a connection with the audience, making them feel a sense ofbelonging or aspiration. For example, a car commercial might show a family enjoying a happy, carefree life together, suggesting that the car will bring the same happiness to the viewers.1、What are the three key elements of rhetoric?2、How did Martin Luther King Jr. use ethos, logos, and pathos in his “I Have a Dream” speech?3、In what ways can rhetoric be applied in everyday life?4、What is the role of pathos in advertising?5、Give an example of how emotional appeals are used in a car commercial.Answers:1、The three key elements of rhetoric are ethos, logos, and pathos.2、Martin Luther King Jr. used ethos by presenting himself as a moral leader, logos by presenting a logical argument for equality, and pathos by appealing to the emotions of his audience.3、Rhetoric can be applied in everyday life to resolve conflicts and build relationships.4、The role of pathos in advertising is to create a connection with the audience by appealing to their emotions, making them feel a sense of belonging or aspiration.5、An example of how emotional appeals are used in a car commercial is a scene showing a family enjoying a happy, carefree life together, suggesting that the car will bring the same happiness to the viewers.三、阅读理解新题型(10分)Part III: New Type Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following passage carefully. There are 5 questions in this section. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best answer for each question based on the passage and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage: The Changing Role of Libraries in the Digital AgeIn the age of the Internet and digital technology, libraries are undergoing a transformation that has both challenged their traditional role and presented new opportunities for growth and service to communities. While some critics argue that the advent of online resources renders physical libraries obsolete, the reality is quite different. Libraries have adapted to the digital age by integrating technology into their services, thus providing patrons with a blend of traditional and modern resources.One significant change has been the digitization of collections, making vast amounts of information more accessible than ever before. Additionally, libraries now offer computer literacy programs, helping bridge the digital divide for those who might not otherwise have access to the necessary tools or skills required in today’s society. They serve as hubs for learning and innovation, where people can gather to collaborate, learn new skills, and engage with diverse perspectives through literature and multimedia content.However, challenges remain. Funding constraints often limit the extent towhich libraries can upgrade their facilities and services. Furthermore, ensuring equitable access to information in a digital world requires strategic planning and investment. Despite these hurdles, the commitment of librarians to fostering lifelong learning and community engagement remains steadfast.Questions:1.According to the passage, what role do libraries play in the digital age?A. They have become less important due to the availability of online resources.B. They solely provide physical books and periodicals.C. They have adapted by integrating technology into their services.D. They discourage the use of digital technologies among patrons.2.What is one way libraries help to address the digital divide?A. By limiting access to digital resources.B. By offering computer literacy programs.C. By removing all traditional book collections.D. By focusing exclusively on historical documents.3.How do libraries contribute to community engagement according to the passage?A. By isolating individuals from each other.B. By discouraging collaboration and learning.C. By serving as hubs for learning and innovation.D. By preventing access to multimedia content.4.What challenge do libraries face in the digital age, as mentioned in the text?A. An abundance of funding for upgrades.B. Unlimited access to information for all users.C. Constraints in funding for upgrading services.D. A decrease in the need for librarians.5.What does the passage suggest about the future outlook of libraries?A. Libraries will cease to exist entirely.B. Libraries will continue to support lifelong learning and community involvement.C. Libraries will only focus on historical preservation.D. Libraries will no longer be places for gathering and collaboration.Answers:1.C2.B3.C4.C5.BThis sample question set reflects the kind of analytical thinking required in contemporary English proficiency exams for graduate studies. Please note that actual exam questions would be carefully reviewed by educational authorities to ensure they meet the standards set for such tests.四、翻译(本大题有5小题,每小题3分,共15分)第一题Translate the following paragraph into English.原文:随着科技的发展,我们的生活发生了翻天覆地的变化。

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1It’s true that high-school coding classes aren’t essential for learning computer science in college. Students without experience can catch up after a few introductory courses, said Tom Cortina, the assistant dean at Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science.However, Cortina said, early exposure is beneficial. When younger kids learn computer science, they learn that it’s not just a confusing, endless string of letters and numbers —but a tool to build apps, or create artwork, or test hypotheses. It’s not as hard for them to transform their thought processes as it is for older students. Breaking down problems into bite-sized chunks and using code to solve them becomes normal. Giving more children this training could increase the number of people interested in the field and help fill the jobs gap, Cortina said.Students also benefit from learning something about coding before they get to college, where introductory computer-science classes are packed to the brim, which can drive the less-experienced or-determined students away.The Flatiron School, where people pay to learn programming, started as one of the many coding bootcamps that’s become popular for adults looking for a career change. The high-schoolers get the same curriculum, but “we try to gear lessons toward things they’re interested in,”said Victoria Friedman, an instructor. For instance, one of the apps the students are developing suggests movies based on your mood.The students in the Flatiron class probably won’t drop out of high school and build the next Facebook. Programming languages have a quick turnover, so the “Ruby on Rails”language they learned may not even be relevant by the time they enter the job market. But the skills they learn —how to think logically through a problem andorganize the results —apply to any coding language, said Deborah Seehorn, an education consultant for the state of North Carolina.Indeed, the Flatiron students might not go into IT at all. But creating a future army of coders is not the sole purpose of the classes. These kids are going to be surrounded by computers —in their pockets, in their offices, in their homes —for the rest of their lives. The younger they learn how computers think, how to coax the machine into producing what they want —the earlier they learn that they have the power to do that —the better.21. Cortina holds that early exposure to computer science makes it easier to____.A. complete future job trainingB. remodel the way of thinkingC. formulate logical hypothesesD. perfect artwork production22. In delivering lessons for high-schoolers, Flatiron has considered their____.A. experienceB. academic backgroundsC. career prospectsD. interest23. Deborah Seehorn believes that the skills learned at Flatiron will____.A. help students learn other computer languagesB. have to be upgraded when new technologies comeC. need improving when students look for jobsD. enable students to make big quick money24. According to the last paragraph, Flatiron students are expected to____.A. compete with a future army of programmersB. stay longer in the information technology industryC. become better prepared for the digitalized worldD. bring forth innovative computer technologies25. The word “coax”(Line4, Para.6) is closest in meaning to____.A. challengeB. persuadeC. frightenD. misguideText 2Biologists estimate that as many as 2 million lesser prairie chickens---a kind of bird living on stretching grasslands—once lent red to the often gray landscape of the midwestern and southwestern United States. But just some 22,000 birds remain today, occupying about 16% of the species’historic range.The crash was a major reason the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS)decided to formally list the bird as threatened. “The lesser prairie chicken is in a desperate situation,”said USFWS Director Daniel Ashe. Some environmentalists, however, were disappointed. They had pushed the agency to designate the bird as “endangered,” a status that gives federal officials greater regulatory power to crack down on threats. But Ashe and others argued that the“threatened”tag gave the federal government flexibility to try out new, potentially less confrontational conservations approaches. In particular, they called for forging closer collaborations with western state governments, which are often uneasy with federal action and with the private landowners who control an estimated 95% of the prairie chicken’s habitat.Under the plan, for example, the agency said it would not prosecute landowner or businesses that unintentionally kill, harm, or disturb the bird, as long as they had signed a range—wide management plan to restore prairie chicken habitat. Negotiated by USFWS and the states, the plan requires individuals and businesses that damage habitat as part of their operations to pay into a fund to replace every acre destroyed with 2 new acres of suitable habitat. The fund will also be used to compensate landowners who set aside habitat, USFWS also set an interim goal of restoring prairie chicken populations to an annual average of 67,000 birds over the next 10 years. And it gives the Western Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (WAFWA), a coalition of state agencies, the job of monitoring progress. Overall, the idea is to let “states”remain in the driver’s seat for managing the species,”Ashe said.Not everyone buys the win-win rhetoric Some Congress members are trying to block the plan, and at least a dozen industry groups, four states, and threeenvironmental groups are challenging it in federal court Not surprisingly, doesn’t go far enough “The federal government is giving responsibility for managing the bird to the same industries that are pushing it to extinction,”says biologist Jay Lininger.26. The major reason for listing the lesser prairie as threatened is____[A]its drastically decreased population[B]the underestimate of the grassland acreage[C]a desperate appeal from some biologists[D]the insistence of private landowners27.The “threatened”tag disappointed some environmentalists in that it_____[A]was a give-in to governmental pressure[B]would involve fewer agencies in action[C]granted less federal regulatory power[D]went against conservation policies28.It can be learned from Paragraph3 that unintentional harm-doers will not be prosecuted if they_____[A]agree to pay a sum for compensation[B]volunteer to set up an equally big habitat[C]offer to support the WAFWA monitoring job[D]promise to raise funds for USFWS operations29.According to Ashe,the leading role in managing the species in______[A]the federal government[B]the wildlife agencies[C]the landowners[D]the states30.Jay Lininger would most likely support_______[A]industry groups[B]the win-win rhetoric[C]environmental groups[D]the plan under challengeText 3That everyone’s too busy these days is a cliché. But one specific complaint is made especially mournfully:There’s never any time to read.What makes the problem thornier is that the usual time-management techniques don’t seem sufficient. The web’s full of articles offering tips on making time to read: “Give up TV”or “Carry a book with you at all times”But in my experience, using such methods to free up the odd 30 minutes doesn’t work. Sit down to read and the flywheel of work-related thoughts keeps spinning-or else you’re so exhausted that achallenging book’s the last thing you need. The modern mind, Tim Parks, a novelist and critic, writes, “is overwhelmingly inclined toward communication…It is not simply that one is interrupted; it is that one is actually inclined to interruption”. Deep reading requires not just time, but a special kind of time which can’t be obtained merely by becoming more efficient.In fact, “becoming more efficient”is part of the problem. Thinking of time as a resource to be maximised means you approach it instrumentally, judging any given moment as well spent only in so far as it advances progress toward some goal immersive reading, by contrast, depends on being willing to risk inefficiency, goallessness, even time-wasting. Try to slot it as a to-do list item and you’ll manage only goal-focused reading-useful, sometimes, but not the most fulfilling kind. “The future comes at us like empty bottles along an unstoppable and nearly infinite conveyor belt,”writes Gary Eberle in his book Sacred Time, and “we feel a pressure to fill these different-sized bottles (days, hours, minutes)as they pass, for if they get by without being filled, we will have wasted them”. No mind-set could be worse for losing yourself in a book.So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You’d think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time’s flow”into “soul time”. You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a book with you at all times”can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really good day, it no longer feels as if you’re “making time to read,”but just reading, and making time for everything else.31. The usual time-management techniques don’t work because[A] what they can offer does not ease the modern mind[B] what challenging books demand is repetitive reading[C] what people often forget is carrying a book with them[D] what deep reading requires cannot be guaranteed32. The “empty bottles”metaphor illustrates that people feel a pressure to[A] update their to-do lists[B] make passing time fulfilling[C] carry their plans through[D] pursue carefree reading33. Eberle would agree that scheduling regular times for reading helps[A] encourage the efficiency mind-set[B] develop online reading habits[C] promote ritualistic reading[D] achieve immersive reading34. “Carry a book with you at all times”can work if[A] reading becomes your primary business of the day[B] all the daily business has been promptly dealt with[C] you are able to drop back to business after reading[D] time can be evenly split for reading and business35. The best title for this text could be[A] How to Enjoy Easy Reading[B] How to Find Time to Read[C] How to Set Reading Goals[D] How to Read ExtensivelyText 4Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure, younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success, a latest poll has found.Across generational lines, Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life, including getting married, having children, owning a home, and retiring in their sixties. But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life, they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work, to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs, to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life, to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children, and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home, the survey found.From career to community and family, these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession, those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life, from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.Young and old converge on one key point: Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations. While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today, big majorities in both groups believe those “just getting started in life”face a tougher a good-paying job, starting a family, managing debt, and finding affordable housing.Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today. Schneider, a 27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college. Even now that he is working steadily, he said.”I can’t afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own, so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen.”Looking back, he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was young. “I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn’thave college degrees,”Schneider said. “I don’t think people are capable of that anymore.”36. One cross-generation mark of a successful life is_____.[A] trying out different lifestyles[B] having a family with children[C] working beyond retirement age[D] setting up a profitable business37. It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that young people tend to ____.[A] favor a slower life pace[B] hold an occupation longer[C] attach importance to pre-marital finance[D] give priority to childcare outside the home38. The priorities and expectations defined by the young will ____.[A] become increasingly clear[B] focus on materialistic issues[C] depend largely on political preferences[D] reach almost all aspects of American life39. Both young and old agree that ____.[A] good-paying jobs are less available[B] the old made more life achievements[C] housing loans today are easy to obtain[D] getting established is harder for the young40. Which of the following is true about Schneider?[A] He found a dream job after graduating from college.[B] His parents believe working steadily is a must for success.[C] His parents’good life has little to do with a college degree.[D] He thinks his job as a technician quite challenging.2015年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语二真题考生注意事项:1 考生必须严格遵守各项考场规则。

(10 points) Given the advantages of electronic money, you might think that we would move quickly to the cashless society in which all payments are made electronically. 1 a true cashless society is probably not around the corner. Indeed, predictions have been 2 for two decades but have not yet come to fruition. For example, Business Week predicted in 1975 that electronic means of payment would soon revolutionize the very 3 of money itself, only to 4 itself several years later. Why has the movement to a cashless society been so 5 in coming?Although electronic means of payment may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work 6 the disappearance of the paper system. First, it is very 7 to set up the computer, card reader, and telecornmunications networks necessary tomake electronic money the 8 form of payment Second, paper checks have the advantage that they 9 receipts, something thai many consumers are unwilling to 10 . Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of float - it takes several days 11 a check is cashed and funds are 12 from the issuers account, which means that the writer of the check can cam interest on the funds in the meantime. 13 electronic payments arc immediate, they eliminate the float for the consumer.Fourth, electronic means of payment may 14 security and privacy concerns. We often hear media reports that an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database and to alter information 15 there. The fact that this is not an 16 occurrence means that dishonest persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments systems and 17 from someone elses accounts. The 18 of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a new field of computer science is developing to 19 security issues. A further concern is that the use of e lectronic means of payment leaves an electronic 20 that contains a large amount of personal data. There are concerns that government, employers, and marketers might be able to access these data, thereby violating our privacy.1. [A] However [B] Moreover [C] Therefore [D] Otherwise2.

考研英语二完型复习

考研英语二完型复习

考研英语二完型复习考研英语完形填空得分率低,投入产出比也低,为什么呢?这局部内容真有那么难?肯定不是这样,关键是方法不对,切入点不对,拿英语二完型来说,考察的核心考点在于词汇和文章构造,注重文章句与句之间的逻辑关系。

了解了这些就不难找到复习的重点,大家要紧扣三点:第一,一定要有“线索”意识。

完型中的每个空格并不孤立,会和文章信息有各种关联,就是一个由“”推导“”的过程。

英语知识应用所给的篇章虽不完整,但是可以通过略读首段掌握大概内容。

详细的解题线索包含文章、选项,乃至综合文章以及选项线索,其中最核心的就是文章线索,包含文章主题,构造,逻辑关联(句间、段间)。

以大纲样题为例,本篇讲述的是美国文化中的一个虚构人物“玩偶大兵乔”在现实生活中的意义,因此文中会涉及到一些军队生活的描述。

这一背景就可以成为一条解题线索。

第二,合理运用逻辑。

在做题时应该积极调动我们的常识进展推理。

一方面根据常识排除一些明显不符合逻辑的选项。

另一方面可以根据逻辑判断句与句之间的关系,如因果关系、比照关系等。

比方:This was not a volunteer soldier, not someone well paid, an average guy.该句中前两个并列成分是否认句中的a volunteer soldier(一个志愿兵)和someone well paid(有优厚报酬的人),题眼之后的an average guy(一个普通人)与二者应该是比照关系,所以正确答案是表示转折关系的but。

除此之外,not…but是一个常考的搭配。

第三,注意惯用法和惯用搭配。

大纲要求考生应该能够熟练掌握5500个左右常用词汇以及相关常用词组,所以惯用法和惯用搭配也是考查要点之一。

考生应该认真掌握。

例如:G. I. is just a military abbreviation meaning Government Issue, and it was on all of the articles to soldiers. ([A]handed out[B]turned over [C]brought back [D]passed down)。

Choose the one that is most suitable and mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Man-made climate change, or global warming, has become a hot topic in recent years. It refers to long-term changes in the earth's temperature attributed mainly to the increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in 1 atmosphere, which trap more heat. There has been a heated debate over the causes and the effects of 2 change, and ways to address the issue.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was established by the United Nations in 1988 to assess the scientific, technical, and socio-economic information relevant to the understanding of climate change. 3 the IPCC has highlighted that there is strong evidence that human activities have caused the observed increase in greenhouse gases, the uncertainties surrounding climate change still persist.In the context of climate change 4 , the term "mitigation" refers to measures taken to reduce or prevent the emission of greenhouse gases in order to limit or prevent the extent of climate change. Examples of mitigation 5 adopting renewable energy sources, such as wind and solar power, and improving energy efficiency in buildings and transportation.Mitigation 6 also include afforestation, which is the establishment of forests where there were none previously, as forests absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and help reduce greenhouse gas levels.Adaptation, on the other hand, refers to the adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climate change. This is 7 important for vulnerable communities and ecosystems that are exposed to the impacts of climate change. Examples of adaptation measures 8 the construction of sea walls to protect coastal areas from rising sea levels, developing drought-resistant crops to combat water scarcity, and implementing early warning systems for extreme weather events.Addressing climate change requires concerted efforts from all countries around the world, as it is a global issue that 9 no boundaries. The Paris Agreement, adopted in 2015 by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), aims to strengthen the global response to climate change and limit the global temperature increase to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels.In conclusion, man-made climate change is a pressing issue that requires urgent action. Both mitigation and adaptation measures will be necessary to address the causes and impacts of climate change. It is crucial for individuals, governments, and organizations to work together to minimize the effects of global warming and ensure a sustainable future for our planet.1.

(10 points)It’s not difficult to set targets for staff. It i s much harder, 1 , to understand their negative consequences. Most work-related behaviors have multiple components. 2 one and the others become distorted. Travel on a London bus and you’ll 3 see how this works with drivers. Watch people get on and show their tickets. Are they carefully inspected? Never. Do people get on without paying? Of course! Are there inspectors to 4 that people have paid? Possibly, but very few. And people who run for the bus? They are 5 . How about jumping lights? Buses do so almost as frequently as cyclists. Why? Because the target is 6 . People complained that buses were late and infrequent. 7 , the number of buses and bus lanes were increased, and drivers were 8 or punished according to the time they took. And drivers hit these targets. But they 9 hit cyclists. If the target was changed to 10 , you would have more inspectors and more sensitive pricing. If the criterion changed to safety,you would get more 11 drivers who obeyed traffic laws. But both these criteria would be at the expense of time. There is another 12 : people became immensely inventive in hitting targets. Have you 13 that you can leave on a flight an hour late but still arrive on time? Tailwinds? Ofcourse not! Airlines have simply changed the time a 14 is meant to take.A one-hour flight is now billed as a two-hour flight. The 15 of the story issimple. Most jobs are multidimensional, with multiple criteria. Choose one criterion and you may well 16 others. Everything can be done faster and made cheaper, but there is a 17 . Setting targets can and does have unforeseen negative consequences.

英语二完型2020Being a good parent is, of course, what every parent would like to be. But defining what it means to be a good parent is undoubtedly very 1 , particularly since children respond differently to the same style of parenting. A calm, rule-following child might respond better to a different sort of parenting than, 2 , a younger sibling.3 , there’s another sort of parent that’s a bit easier to4 : a patient parent. Children of every age benefit from patient parenting. Still,5 every parent would like to be patient, this is no easy6 . Sometimes parents get exhausted and frustrated and are unable to maintain a7 and composed style with their kids. I understand this.You’re only human, and sometimes your kids can 8 you just a little too far. And then the9 happens: You lose your patience and either scream at your kids or say something that was a bit too 10 and does nobody any good. You wish that you could 11 the clock and start over. We’ve all been there.12 , even though it’s common, it’s important to keep in mind that in a single moment of fatigue, you can say something to your child that you may 13 for a long time. This may not only do damage to your relationship with your child but also 14 your child’s self-esteem.If you consistently lose your 15 with your kids, then you are inadvertently modeling a lack of emotional control for your kids. We are all becoming increasingly aware of the 16 of modeling tolerance and patience for the younger generation. This is a skill that will help them all throughout life. In fact, the ability to emotionally regulate or maintain emotional control when 17 by stress is one of the most important of all life’s skills.Certainly, it’s incredibly 18 to maintain patience at all times with your children. A more practical goal is to try, to the best of your ability, to be as tolerant and composed as you can when faced with 19 situations involving your children. I can promise you this: As a result of working toward this goal, you and your children will benefit and 20 from stressful moments feeling better physically and emotionally.1.

That was bad to my overall fitness goals. I had gained weight in the form of muscle mass, but thinking only of 4 the number on the scale, I altered my training program. That conflicted with how I needed to train to 5 my goals.I also found that weighing myself daily did not provide an accurate 6 of the hard work and progress I was making in the gym.

Since weight loss is not my goal, it is less important for me to11 my weight each week. Weighing every other week allows me to observe and12 any significant weight changes. That tells me whether I need to 13 my training program.I use my bimonthly weigh-in 14 to get information about my nutrition as well. If my training intensity remains the same, but I’m constantly 15 and dropping weight, this is a 16 that I need to increase my daily caloric intake.The 17 to stop weighing myself every day has done wonders for my overall health, fitness and well-being. I’m experiencing increased zeal for working out since I no longer carry the burden of a 18 morning weigh-in. I’ve also experienced greater success in achieving my specific fitness goals, 19 I’m training according to those goals, not the numbers on a scale.Rather than 20 over the scale, turn your focus to how you look, feel, how your clothes fit and your overall energy level.1.

Because humans have an inherent need to 1 uncertainty, according to a recent study in Psychological Science. The new research reveals that the need to know is so strong that people will 2 to satisfy their curiosity even when it is clear the answer will 3 .In a series of four experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago and the Wisconsin School of Business tested students' willingness to 4 themselves to unpleasant stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity. For one 5 each participant was shown a pile of pens that the researcher claimed were from a previous experiment. The twist? Half of the pens would 6 an electric shock when clicked.Twenty-seven students were told which pens were electrified; another twenty-seven were told only that some were electrified 7 left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and incurred more shocks than the students who knew what would 8 . Subsequent experiments reproduced this effect with other stimuli, 9 the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects.The drive to 10 is deeply rooted in humans, much the same as the basic drives for 11 or shelter, says Christopher Hsee of the University of Chicago. Curiosity is often considered a good instinct-it can 12 new scientific advances, for instance-but sometimes such 13 can backfire. The insight that curiosity can drive you to do 14 things is a profound one. Unhealthy curiosity is possible to 15 , however. In a final experiment, participants who were encouraged to 16 how they would feel after viewing an unpleasant picture were less likely to 17 to see such an image. These results suggest that imagining the 18 of following through on one's curiosity ahead of time can help determine 19 it is worth the endeavor.

And a new research suggests that happiness might influence 1 firms work, too.Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a recent research paper. 2firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and development). That’s because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking 3 for making investment for the future.The researchers wanted to know of the 4and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would 5 the way companies invested. So they compared U.S. cities’average happiness 6 by Gallup polling with investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.7enough, firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were 8 . But is it really happiness that’s linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities 9why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the researchers controlled for various 10that might make firms more likely to invest--- like size, industry and sales--- and for indicators that a place was 11to live in, like growth in wages or population. The link between happiness and investment generally 12even after according for these things.The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms, which the authors 13 to “less codified decision making process” and the possible presence of “younger and less 14 managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment.” The relationship was 15stronger in places where happiness was spread more equally. Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy, rather than in places with happiness in equality.17 this doesn’t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least 18 at that possibility. It’s not hard to imagine that local culture and sentiment would help 19how executives think about the future. “it surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward thinking and creative and 20R&D more than the average” said one researcher.1.[A] where[B] how[C] why[D] when2.

But you wouldn’t know it, 3 into your phone. This universal armor sends the 4 :Please don’t approach me.What is it that makes us feel we need to hide 5 our screens?One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, executive mental coach We fear rejection,or that our innocent social advances will be 6 as creep, We fear we’ll be 7 We fear we’ll be disruptive.Strangers are inherently 8 to us,so we are more likely to feel 9 when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances To avoid this anxiety, we 10 to our phones.

Why has the movement to a cashless society been so___5___ in coming?Although electronic means of payment may be more efficient than a payments system based on paper, several factors work __6___ the disappearance of the paper system. First, it is very ___7__ to set up the computer, card reader, and telecommunications networks necessary to make electronic money the___8__ form of payment Second, paper checks have the advantage that they ___9___ receipts, something that many consumers are unwilling to __10__ . Third, the use of paper checks gives consumers several days of "float" - it takes several days __11___ a check is cashed and funds are __12___ from the issuer's account, which means that the writer of the check can cam interest on the funds in the meantime. ___13__ electronic payments are immediate, they eliminate the float for the consumer.Fourth, electronic means of payment may __14___ security and privacy concerns. We often hear media reports that an unauthorized hacker has been able to access a computer database and to alter information ___15___ there. The fact that this is not an __16___ occurrence means that dishonest persons might be able to access bank accounts in electronic payments systems and __17___ from someone else's accounts. The __18__ of this type of fraud is no easy task, and a new field of computer science is developing to ___19___ security issues. A further concern is that the use of electronic means of payment leaves an electronic __20___ that contains a large amount of personal data. There are concerns that government, employers, and marketers might be able to access these data, thereby violating our privacy.1. [A] However [B] Moreover [C] Therefore [D] Otherwise2.

Choose the best word(s) for each numbered black and mark A,B,C or D on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)The Internet affords anonymity to its users, a blessing to privacy and freedom of speech. But that very anonymity is also behind the explosion of cyber-crime that has 1 across the Web.Can privacy be preserved 2 bringing safety and security to a world that seems increasingly 3 ?Last month,Howard Schmidt,the nation's cyber-czar,offered the federal government a 4 to make the Web a safer place-a "voluntary trusted identity" system that would be the high-tech 5 of a physical key, a fingerprint and a photo ID card,all rolled 6 one. The system might use a smart identity card,or a digital credential 7 to a specific computer .and would authenticate users at a range of onlineservices.The idea is to 8 a federation of private online identity systems. User could 9 which system to join,and only registered users whose identities have been authenticated could navigate those systems. The approach contrasts with one that would require an Internet driver's license 10 by the government.Google and Microsoft are among companies that already have these"single sign-on" systems that make it possible for users to 11 just once but use many different services.12 the approach would create a "walled garden" n cyberspace,with safe "neighborhoods" and bright "streetlights" to establish a sense of a 13 community.Mr. Schmidt described it as a "voluntary ecosystem" in which "individuals and organizations can complete online transactions with 14 ,trusting the identities of each other and the identities of the infrastructure 15 which the transaction runs".Still, the administration's plan has 16 privacy rights activists. Some applaud the approach; others are concerned. It seems clear that such a scheme is an initiative push toward what would 17 be a compulsory Internet "drive's license" mentality.The plan has also been greeted with 18 by some computer security experts, who worry that the "voluntary ecosystem" envisioned by Mr. Schmidt would still leave much of the Internet 19 .They argue that all Internet users should be 20 to register and identify themselves, in the same way that drivers must be licensed to drive on public roads.1.
