(40 points)(1) Chinese firms are going global for the usual reasons: to acquire raw materials, get technical know-how and gain access to foreign markets. But they are under theguidance of a state that many countries consider a strategic competitor, not an ally. As our briefing explains, it often appoints executives, directs deals and finances them through state banks. Once bought, natural-resource firms can become captive suppliers of the Middle Kingdom. Some believe China Inc can be more sinister than that: for example, America thinks that Chinese telecoms-equipment firms pose a threat to its national security.That would be a mistake. China is miles away from posing this kind of threat: most of its firms are only just finding their feet abroad. Even in natural resources, where it has been most active in dealmaking, it is not close to controlling enough supply to rig the market for most commodities.Nor is China's system as monolithic as foreigners often assume. State companies compete at home and their decision-making is consensual rather than dictatorial. When abroad they may have mixed motives, and some sectors—defence and strategic infrastructure, for instance—are too sensitive to allow them in. But such areas are relatively few.What if Chinese state-owned companies run their acquisitions for politics, not profit? So long as other firms could satisfy consumers' needs, it would not matter. Chinese companies could safely be allowed to own energy firms, for instance, in a competitive market where customers could turn to 6ther suppliers. And if Chinese firms throw subsidised capital around the world, that's fine. America and Europe could use the money. The danger that cheap Chinese capital might undermine rivals can be better dealt with by beefing up competition law than by keeping investment out.Not all Chinese companies are state-directed. Some are largely independent and mainly interested in profits. Often these firms are making the running abroad. Take Volvo's new owner, Geely. Volvo should now be able to sell more cars in China; without the deal its future was bleak. Chinese firms can bring new energy and capital to flagging companies around the world; but influence will not just flow one way. To succeed abroad, Chinese companies will have to adapt. That means hiring local managers, investing in local research and placating local concerns—for example by listing subsidiaries locally. Indian and Brazilian firms have an advantage abroad thanks to their private-sector DNA and more open cultures. That has not. been lost on Chinese managers1. In face of China's economic expansion abroad, the author of this article isA. OptimisticB. PessimisticC. NeutralD. Noncommittal2. According to the article, the reason why China cannot control the market for most commodities in energy sector isA. China does not have enough money.B. Chinese companies are reluctant to cooperate with foreign firms.C. China is in initial stage of investing abroad.D. Chinese companies are state-owned.3. What is Volvo's immediate benefit after Geely becomes its new owner?A. Sales go upB. Future becomes unpredictableC. Workers have a salary hike.D. Unemployment goes down.4. "So long as other firms could satisfy consumers' needs, it would not matter. " This implies thatA. Chinese cannot control the market.B. The market is not competitiveC. Consumers do not like Chinese companiesD. Indian companies are more powerful5. It is suggested that-Chinese firms should do the following if they want to succeed abroadA. Stick to public ownershipB. Make changes to suit local conditionsC. Invest more moneyD. Have more decision making power(2) Why we age is the subject of vigorous debate. The classical view is that aging happens because of random wear and tear. A newer view holds that aging is more orderly and genetically, driven. Proponents of this view point out that animals of similar species and exposure to wear and tear have markedly different life span, The Canadagoose has a longevity of 23. 5 years; the emperor goose only 6. 3 years. Perhaps animals are like plants, with lives that are to a large extent, internally governed. Certain species of bamboo, for instance, form a dense stand that grows and flourishes for a hundred years, flowers all at once, and then dies.The idea that living things shut down and not just wear down has received substantial support in the past decade. Researchers working with the now famous worm C. elegans (two of the last five Nobel Prizes in medicine went to scientist doing work on the little nematode) were able to produce worms that live more than twice as long and age more slowly by altering a single gene. Scientists have since come up with single-gene alterations that increase the life spans of Drosophila fruit flies, mice and yeast.These findings notwithstanding, scientists do not believe that our life spans are actually programmed into us. After all, for most of our hundred-thousand-year existence—all but the past couple of hundred years—the average life span of human beings has been thirty years or less. (Research suggests that subjects of the Roman Empire had an average life expectancy oftwenty-eighty years. Today the average life span in developed countries is almost eighty years. If human life spans depend on our genetics, then medicine has got the upper hand. We are, in a way, freaks living well beyond our appointed time. So when we study aging, what we are trying to understand is not so much in a natural process as an unnatural one. Inheritance has surprisingly little influence on longevity. James Vaupel, of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, in Rostock, Germany, noted that only six percent of how long you'll live, compared with the average, is explained by your parents' longevity; by contrast, up to ninety percent of how tall you are, compared with the average, is explained by your parents' height. Even genetically identical twins vary widely in life span: the typical gap is more than fifteen years.6. The main idea of this piece isA. How long one lives depends on one's parents.B. How long one lives is related to one's genesC. How long one lives depends on many factors.D. How long one lives can be statistically determined.7. The example of goose's life span shows thatA. Canada goose lives longer than emperor goose.B. Emperor goose has a very short life span.C. Canada goose and emperor goose belong to the same specie.D. Different kinds of the same specie may have different life span8. What, as the author mentions in this article, is genetically determined?A. life expectancyB. heightC. voiceD. look9. It can be assumed that people in the past several hundreds of yearsA. live less than 30 year on averageB. live more than 60 years on averageC. live exactly 30 years on averageD. live at least 30 year on average10. While twins have many things in common, only one feature is mentioned in this article. What is it?A. Twins look alike.B. Twins are almost identical in height.C. Twins usually have different length of life span.D. Twins usually have the same temperament.(3) Many reasons have been adduced for the rise of the Leica. There is the hectic progress of the illustrated press, avid for photographs to till its columns; there is the increased mobility; spending power, and leisure time of the middle class, who wished to preserve a record of these novel blessing, if not for posterity, then at least for shot. Yet the great inventions, more often than not, are triggered less by vast historical movements than by the pressures of individual change—or in Leica's case, by asthma. Every Leica employee who drives down Oscar-Barnack, Strasse is reminded of corporate glory, for it was Banack, a former engineer at Carl Zeiss, the famous lens makers in Jena, who designed the Leica I. He was an amateur photographer, and the camera had first occurred to him, as if in a vision, in 1905, twenty years before it actually went on sale: " Back then I took pictures using a camera that tool 13 by 18 plates, with six double-plate holders and a large leather case similar to a salesman's sample case. This was quite a load to haul around when I set off each Sunday through the Thuringer Wald, while I struggled up the hillsides (bearing in mind that I suffer from asthma) an idea came to me. Couldn't this be done differently?"Five years later, Barnack was invited to work for Ernst Leitz, a rival optical company, in Watzlar. (The company stayed there until 1988, when it was sold, and the camera division, renamed Leica, shifted to Solms, fifteen Minutes away. ) By 1919-14, he had developed what became known as the ur-Leica; a tough, squat rectangular metal box, not much bigger than a spectacles case, with rounded comers and a retractable brass lens. You could tuck it into a jacket pocket, wander around the Thuringer woods all weekend, and never gasp for breath The extraordinary fact is that, if you were to place it next to today's Leica MP, the similarities would far outweigh the differences; stand a young man beside his own great-grand father and you get the same effect. Barnack took a picture on August 2, 1914, using the new device. Reproduced in Alessandro Pasi's comprehensive study Leica: Witness to a Century (2004), it shows a helmeted soldier turning away from a column on which he has just plastered the imperial order for mobilization. This was the first hint of the role that would fall to Leica above all other cameras: to be there in history's face. Not until the end of the hostilities did Bamack resume work on the Leica, as it came to be called. ( His own choice of name was Lilliput, but wiser counsels prevail. Whenever you buy a35-milimeter camera, you pay homage to Barnack. )11. Leica most probably isA. the brand name of a cameraB. the name of a factoryC. the brand name of filmD. the name of a man12. Leica was invented thanks toA. There appear more magazines with picturesB. People have more money to spareC. People are able to live in different placesD. The inventor suffers from asthma13. The "illustrated press" appearing in this article most probably refers toA. Newspapers and magazines with many picturesB. Illustrious person under pressure of workC. Explanation telling people how to relieve from pressureD. Books telling people how to operate the press14. "His own choice of name was Lilliput, but wiser counsels prevail. " This sentence meansA. The product is named Lilliput.B. The product's name is neither Lilliput nor Leica.C. The product is named LeicaD. "Leica" is abandoned for a better name for the product.15. "Stand a young man beside his own great-grand father and you get the same effect. " This metaphor is cited to show thatA. Leica MP and Leica I look alike.B. Leica MP is more advancedC. Leica I enjoyed a long history than Leica MPD. Leica MP enjoys more respect than Leica I(4) "Essay end up in books, "—like this one—"but they start their lives in magazines, " wrote Susan Sontag in her introduction to The Best American Essays 1992. That's what I see first, year and year: the magazines.Hundreds of them. Some so slick they slip from my hands and slide off each other when I try to construct neat piles. Some of the satiny and scented fashion magazines display so much commercialized fetishism—high-gloss models brought to erotic ecstasy by luxurious handbags—that I feel, as I dutifully flip through the clingy pages searching for content, I must be a creature from a different planet, a terribly deprived and disadvantaged one. Still, that doesn't prevent me from sniffing the perfume ads along, the way, and for an intoxicating moment sample a world where reading and writing essays seems not just a marginal occupation, but decidedly declasse.The Best American Essays features a selection of the year's outstanding essays, essays of literary achievement that show an awareness of craft and forcefulness of thought, Hundreds of essays are gathered annually from a wide assortment of national and regional publications. These essays are then screened, and approximately one hundred are turned over to a distinguished guest editor, who may add a few personal discoveries and who makes the final selections. The list of Notable Essays appearing inthe back of the book is drawn from the final comprehensive list that includes not only all the essays submitted to the guest editor but also many that were not submitted. To qualify for the volume, the essay must be a work of respectable literary quality, intended as a fully developed, independent essay on a subject of general interest( not specialized scholarship), originally written in English (or translated by the author) for publication in an American periodical during the calendar year. Today's essay is a highly flexible and shifting form, however, so these criteria are not carved in stone.Magazine editors who want to be sure their contributions will be considered each year should submit issues or subscriptions to: Robert Atwan, Serial Editor, The Best American Essays. P. O. Box 220, Redville, MA 02137. Writers and editors are welcome to submit published essays from any American periodical for consideration; unpublished work does not qualify for the series and cannot be reviewed or evaluated. Please note: all submissions must be directly from the publication and not in manuscript or printout format. Editors of online magazines and literary bloggers should not assume that appropriate work will be seen; they are invited to submit printed copies of the essays (with full citations) to the address above.16. "Essays end up in books, "—like this one—"but they start their lives in magazines, " This sentence meansA. Essays end their life in books.B. Essays are first published in magazines and then in the book form.C. Essays in magazines can gain a larger readershipD. Essays play their ceaselessly active and important role in books.17. "These criteria are not carved in stone". It can be safely assumed according to the article that this sentence means.A. These criteria are written in books.B. These criteria are fixed and remain unchangedC. These criteria are flexible and always changeD. These criteria are authorized and powerful18. How are the best essays selected?A. Selected by a group of specialists.B. Selected by three or four readersC. Selected by American readers and Canadian readersD. Selected first by the serial editor, and then finalized by the guest editor19. The phrase "personal discoveries" most probably meansA. Treasures accidentally found by a personB. Lost things finally recovered by someoneC. Essays the guest editor wants to include in the bookD. Essays readers like very much20. Part of the serial editor's address reads "MA 02137". Here MA is the abbreviation of a US State. It isA. MarylandB. MichiganC. MassachusettsD. MississippiⅣ. The following excerpt is taken from one English newspaper. The primary purpose of this passage is intended to provide a source of inspiration for writing rather than tempt you into copying the same thing in your composition.The gifts or blessings of life are always there but if we are not aware of them, they don't do much for us. That is where gratefulness comes in. Gratefulness makes us aware of the gift and makes us happy. As long as we take things for granted they don't make us happy. Gratefulness is the key to happiness. Practicing gratitude is so central to my spirituality. That's why I am now working on a website that is called . It is an interactive website that helps people to discover and cultivate gratefulness and to change society. There are a thousand ways to do that. We even have a new feature of lighting a candle in cyberspace. This is not a gimmick, but it is a 21st century ritual. You click on the candlewick to light it and it will burn for twenty-four hours and get smaller as it burns. You can send a message to someone telling them you lit a candle for them. This provides a gratefulness ritual you can do right where you are, and we are very poor on ritual in our time. Rituals are very important to human beings; they keep us alive.Write an argumentative essay of about 400 words on the following topic (30 points)What Gratitud e Means to Me。

英译汉One day, in the autumn of 1845, I accidentally lighted on a MS. volume of verse in my sister Emily's handwriting. Of course, I was not surprised, knowing that she could and did write verse: I looked it over, and something more than surprise seized me--a deep conviction that these were not common effusions, nor at all like the poetry women generally write. I thought them condensed and terse, vigorous and genuine. To my ear they had also a peculiar music--wild, melancholy, and elevating.My sister Emily was not a person of demonstrative character, nor one on the recesses of whose mind and feelings even those nearest and dearest to her could, with impunity, intrude unlicensed; it took hours to reconcile her to the discovery I had made, and days to persuade her that such poems merited publication. I knew, however, that a mind like hers could not be without some latent spark of honourable ambition, and refused to be discouraged in my attempts to fan that spark to flame.Meantime, my younger sister quietly produced some of her own compositions, intimating that, since Emily's had given me pleasure, I might like to look at hers. I could not but be a partial judge, yet I thought that these verses, too, had a sweet, sincere pathos of their own.We had very early cherished the dream of one day becoming authors. This dream, never relinquished even when distance divided and absorbing tasks occupied us, now suddenly acquired strength and consistency: it took the character of a resolve. We agreed to arrange a small selection of our poems, and, if possible, to get them printed. Averse to personal publicity, we veiled our own names under those of Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell; the ambiguous choice being dictated by a sort of conscientious scruple at assuming Christian names positively masculine, while we did not like to declare ourselves women, because--without at that time suspecting that our mode of writing and thinking was not what is called 'feminine'--we had a vague impression that authoresses are liable to be looked on with prejudice;分享谢腾达谢腾达的分享当前分享返回分享首页»分享英语就得说得这么native来源：高翔的日志1．I wasn't born yesterday.（我又不是三岁小孩)2．How do I address you?（我怎么称呼你)3．She turns me off.（她使我厌烦。

But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought,sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, achange in the climate of the personality.
This is a prevalent misconception in many people'sminds---that love, like merchandise, can be“stolen”。Numerous states, in fact,have enacted laws allowing damages for“alienation of affections”。

Please read the passages and then write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.TEXT AAustralia’s frogs are having trouble finding love. Traffic noise and other sounds of city life, such as air conditioners and construction noise, are drowning out the mating calls of male frogs in urban areas, 1eading to a sharp drop in frog populations. But, in the first study of its kind, Parris, a scientist at the University of Melbourne has found that some frogs have figured out a way to compensate for human interference in their love lives.A male southern brown tree frog sends out a mating call when he’s looking for a date. It is music to the ears of a female southern brown tree frog. But, add the sounds of nearby traffic and the message just is not going out. Parris spent seven years studying frogs around Melbourne. She says some frogs have come up with an interesting strategy for making themselves heard.“We found that it’s changing the pitch of its call, so going higher up, up the frequency spectrum, being higher and squeakier, further away from the traffic noise and this increases the distance over which it can be for heard,” Parris said.The old call is lower in pitch. The new one is higher in pitch.Now, that may sound like a pretty simple solution. But, changing their calls to cope with a noisy environment is actually quite extraordinary for frogs. And while the males have figured out how to make themselves heard above the noise, Parris says it may not be what the females are looking for.“When females have a choice between two males calling, they tend to select the one that calls at a lower frequency because, in frogs, the frequency of a call is related to body size. So, the bigger frogs tend to call lower,” she explained. “And so they also tend to be the older frogs, the guys perhaps with more experience, they know what they’re doing and the women are attracted to those.”Frog populations in Melbourne have dropped considerably since Parris began her research, but it is not just because of noise. Much of Australia has been locked in a 10-year drought, leaving frogs fewer and fewer ponds to go looking for that special someone.31. Parris is the first person who made study for ____A. frog’s populationB. frog’s love livesC. frog’s mating calls and living environmentD. the effects of human noises on frog32. Why do some frogs change the pitch of its calls?A. To be different from others.B. To attract a female frog.C. To tend out messages.D. To go against traffic noises.33. Female frogs may not be attracted by the new call because____.A. it is strange and unusualB. they are used to the old callC. the male frogs don’t know how to attract themD. lower frequency has special physical meaning34. What does the word “considerably” in the last paragraph mean?A. immediatelyB. directlyC. carefully”D. much35. According to Parris, what are the reasons for the dropping of the frog’s population inMelbourne?A. Air conditioners and construction noise.B. The urban noises and the lack of rainfall.C. The change of the frequency of the mating call.D. Fewer ponds.TEXT BA closer observer of the small screen once called it a “vast wasteland of violence, sadism and murder, private eyes, gangsters and more violence - and cartoons.” That is how Newton Minow, a US television regulator, described it in 1961.Since than television language has become more colourful, violence more explicit and sex more prevalent. Lady Chatterley’s Lover has moved from the banned book shelf to a classic BBC serial.Concern over such changing standards has shaped our view of television—and masked its broader influence in developing countries.To illustrate its effects, Kenny cites the case of Brazil. When television there began to show a steady diet of local soaps in the 1970s, Brazilian women typically had five or more children and were trapped in poverty. As the popularity of the soaps grew, birth rates fellAccording to researchers, 72% of the leading female characters in the main soaps had no children and only 7% had more than one. One study calculated that such soaps had the same effect on fertility rates as keeping girls in school for five years more than normal.It is not just birth rates that are affected. Kenny notes: “Kids who watch TV out of school, according to a World Bank survey of young people in the shanty towns of Fortaleza in Brazil, are considerably less likely to consume drugs.”Television appears to have more power to reduce youth drug use than the strictures of an educated mother and Brazilian soaps presenting educated urban woman running their own businesses are thought to be compelling role models.Television can also improve health, In Ghana a soap opera line that warned mothers they were feeding their children “more than just rice” if they did not wash their hands after defecating was followed by a seemingly permanent improvement in personal hygiene.Why do such changes happen? Simple, says Kenny: soap operas, whether local versions of Ugly Betty or vintage imports of Baywatch, open up new horizons. “Some hours could he better spout planting trees, helping old ladies across the road or playing cricket,” he said. “But watching TV exposes people to new ideas and different people. With that will come greater opportunity, growing equality and a better understanding of the world. Not bad.”36. What does “it” refer to in the first paragraph?A. The small screen.B. A vast wasteland.C. Television language.D. Lady Chatterley’s Lover.37. Why does the anther mention Lady Chatterley’s Lover?A. To show television has great influence on our daily life.B. To show that television’s content has new changes.C. To show that violence and sex are accepted by the audience.D. To show the standards of TV regulation have changed38. What is the meaning of “mask” in the third paragraph?A. suggestB. coverC. discoverD. reveal39. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the effects of TV?A. Lower birth rate.B. Less poor young people.C. Less drug users.D. Better sanitation habits.40. The main idea of this passage is ____.A. the effects of TV in developing countriesB. people begin to receive more informationC. TV has opened up new horizonsD. the changes of TV languageTEXT CShe was glad of the lake. It’s soft; dark water helped to soothe and quiet her mind. It took her away from the noisy, squawkish world of the cat-walk and let her lie untroubled at its side, listening only to the gentle lapping of its waves.She felt at peace. Alone. Unhindered and free. Free to do nothing but watch and listen and dream.London, Paris, New York - names, only names. Names that had once meant excitement, then boredom, then frustration then slavery. Names that had brought her to the edge of a breakdown and left her doubting her own sanity.But here everything was at peace. The lake, the trees, the cottage. Here she could stay for the rest of her life. Here she would be happy to die.Across the sun hurried a darkening filter of cloud. The ripples on the water, chased by a freshening wind, pushed their way anxiously from the far side of the lake until they almost bounced at her feet. And in the East there was thunder.Quickly she gathered her things together and made for the cottage. But already the rain flecked the water behind her and pattered the leaves as she raced beneath the trees. Sodden and breathless, she ran for the cottage door, and, as she opened it, the storm burst.And there on the hearth, haggard and unwelcome, stood a man.“Hello!”I was an odd way to greet a complete stranger who had invaded her home, but it was all she could think of to say. A casual greeting to someone who seemed to be expecting her, waiting for her. Maybe it was the way they did things down here?“I suppose you had to shelter from the storm too?” she asked.The man said nothing.She ought to have been angry at this rude intrusion on her privacy, but anger somehow seemed pointless. It was as if the cottage was his, the hearth was his, and she had come out of the storm to seek refuge at his door. She watched him, cautiously; waiting for an explanation. He said nothing. Not a word“Did you get wet?” she askedHe stood, huddled by the open fire, gazing at the dying embers.She walked over, brushing against him as she bent to stir the logs into life, but still he did not move. The flames burst forth, lighting up the sadness in his dark eyes.“And kneeled and made the cheerless grate blaze up and all the cottage warm...”The words, spoken by him in a quiet, toneless voice, took her by surprise.“Pardon?” she saidBut he seemed not to hear.She tried once more.” Ii look as if it’s set in for the evening. Would you like to sit down for a while?”His eyes followed her as she moved to take off her coat and brush out her hair.“...and from her form withdrew the dripping cloak and shawl, and laid her soiled gloves by, untied her hat and let the damp hair fall...”Poetry. He was quoting poetryHe looked vaguely like a poet; lean, distressed, with a certain bitterness in his eyes and hopelessness in his form. And his voice was deep and languid, like the middle of the lake where the water ran darkest.Yet those ware not his lines. The words were not created by him. They were somehow familiar. Half remembered. Surely she had heard them before?41. What does she think of the lake?A. Dark.B. Alone.C. Free.D. Soft42. We can conclude that the main character “She” is a ____.A. modelB. teacherC. singerD. banker43. As to names her profession brought her, she felt all the following EXCEPT ____.A. confinedB. fed upC. agitatedD. stirred44. She wished to stay by the lake for the rest of her life because ____.A. she liked the beautiful scenery thereB. she enjoyed the solitude thereC. she could withdraw from societyD. she might encounter a stranger45. Which of the following can NOT describe the man?A. DesperateB. ThinC. MiserableD. ConspicuousTEXT DGot milk? If you do, take a moment to ponder the true oddness of being able to drink milk after you’re a baby.No other species but humans can. And most humans can’t either.The long lists of food allergies some people claim to have can make it seem as if they’re just finicky eaters trying to rationalize likes and dislikes. Not so. Eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish soy and gluten all can wreak havoc on the immune system of allergic individuals, even causing a deadly reaction called anaphylaxis.But those allergic reactions are relatively rare, affecting an estimated 4% of adults.Milk’s different.There are people who have true milk allergies that can cause deadly reactions. But most people who have bad reactions to milk aren’t actually allergic to it, in that it’s not their immune system that’s responding to the milk. Instead, people who are lactose intolerant can’t digest the main sugar—lactose—found in milk. In normal humans, the enzyme that does so—lactase—stops being produced when the person is between two and five years old. The undigested sugars end up in the colon, where they begin to ferment, producing gas that can cause cramping, bloating, nausea, flatulence and diarrhea.If you’re American or European it’s hard to realize this, but being able to digest milk as an adult is one weird genetic adaptation.It’s not normal. Somewhat less than 40% of people in the world retain the ability to digest lactose after childhood. The numbers are often given as close to 0% of Native Americans, 5% of Asians, 25% of African and Caribbean peoples, 50% of Mediterranean peoples and 90% of northern Europeans. Sweden has one of the world’s highest percentages of lactase tolerant people.Being able to digest milk is so strange that scientists say we shouldn’t really call lactose intolerance a disease, because that presumes it’s abnormal, instead, they call it lactase persistence, indicating what’s really weird is the ability to continue to drink milk.There’s been a lot of research over the past decade looking at the genetic mutation that allows this subset of humanity to stay milk drinkers into adulthood.A long-held theory was that the mutation showed up first in Northern Europe, where people got less vitamin D from the sun and therefore did better if they could also get the crucial hormone (it’s not really a vitamin at all) from milk.But now a group at University College London has shown that the mutation actually appeared about 7,500 years ago in dairy farmers who lived in a region between the central Balkans and central Europe, in what was known as the Funnel Beaker culture.The paper was published this week in PLOS Computational Biology.The researchers used a computer to model the spread of lactase persistence, dairy farming, other food gathering practices and genes in Europe.Today, the highest proportion of people with lactase persistence live in Northwest Europe, especially the Netherlands, Ireland and Scandinavia. But the computer model suggests that dairy farmers carrying this gene variant probably originated in central Europe and then spread more widely and rapidly than non-dairying groups.Author Mark Thomas of University College London’s dept of Genetics, Evolution and Environment says, “In Europe, a single genetic change...is strongly associated with lactase persistence and appears to have people with it a big survival advantage.”The European mutation is different from several lactase persistence genes associated with small populations of African peoples who historically have been cattle herders.Researchers at the University of Mary land identified one such mutation among Nilo-Saharan-speaking peoples in Kenya and Tanzania. That mutation seems to have arisen between 2,700 to 6,800 years ago. Two other mutations have been found among the Beja people of northeastern Sudan and tribes of the same language family in northern Kenya.46. According to the third sentence of Paragraph 3, which of the following items is INCORRECT?A. Anaphylaxis may cause people to die.B. Eggs can damage all the allergic individuals’ immune system.C. One who is allergic to gluten can not eat com.D. Tuna may cause a person who is allergic to fish to die.47. Which of the following is the CORRECT explanation of “enzyme” (Para. 6)?A. A kind of chemical hormone that is produced by human body.B. A kind of protein that act as catalyst in diagnosing lactose.C. A kind of fungus that can be used to decompose lactose.D. A kind of gene that is called lactase.48. What is the relationship between “lactase” and “lactose” according to the passage?A. Lactase is indispensable to decomposing lactose.B. They both can act as a kind of enzyme.C. Lactase is the physical form of lactose.D. Lactase can be used to synthesize lactose.49. According to Mark Thomas, we can infer that______.A. in Europe, people with longevity must not be lactase persistence.B. a genetic mutation on lactase persistence changed people’s life.C. the European people benefit from genetic change.D. the Europeans have superior survival advantage to other human races.50. What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A. To stop people from drinking milk.B. To refute the theory that milk is good for health.C. To introduce us a new discovery on genetic mutation.D. To infer the declination of the cattle industry.TEXT EGeorge had stolen some money, but the police had caught him and he had been put in prison. Now his trial was about to begin, and he felt sure that he would be found guilty and sent to prison for a long time.Then he discovered that an old friend of his was one of the members of the jury at his trail. Of course, he didn’t tail anybody, but he managed to see his friend secretly one day. He said to him, “Jim, I know that the jury will find me guilty of having stolen the money. I cannot hope to be found not guilty of taking it - that would be too much to expect. But I should be grateful to you for the rest of my life if you could persuade the other members of the jury to add a strong recommendation for mercy to their statement that they consider me guilty.”“Well, George,”answered Jim, “I shall certainly try to do what I can for you as an old friend, but of course I cannot promise anything. The other eleven people on the jury look terribly strong-minded to me.” George said that he would quite understand if Jim was not able to do anything for him, and thanked him warmly for agreeing to help.The trial went on, and at last the time came for the jury to decide whether George was guilty or not. It took them five hours, but in the end they found George guilty, with a strong recommendation for mercy. Of course, George was very pleased, but he didn’t have a chance to see Jim for some time after the trial. At last, however, Jim visited him in prison, and George thanked him warmly and asked him how he had managed to persuade the other members of the jury to recommend mercy. “Well, George,” Jim answered, “as I thought, those eleven men were very difficult to persuade, but I managed it in the end by tiring them out. Do you know, those fools had all wanted to find you not guilty!”51. How do you define “jury”?52. What did George expect Jim to do?53. What did Jim do to help George?54. How lung did the jury spent on making a decision?55. Who do you think is the biggest fool?PART III WRITING [60 MIN] (30 POINTS)Plagiarism in graduation thesis is becoming an indisputable fact.

2011年南开大学翻译硕士考研英语翻译基础考研真题及答案解析
2011年南开大学翻译硕士考研英语翻译基础考研真题及答案解析专业课的复习和应考有着与公共课不同的策略和技巧，虽然每个考生的专业不同，但是在总体上都有一个既定的规律可以探寻。
以下就是针对考研专业课的一些十分重要的复习方法和技巧。
一、专业课考试的方法论对于报考本专业的考生来说，由于已经有了本科阶段的专业基础和知识储备，相对会比较容易进入状态。
但是，这类考生最容易产生轻敌的心理，因此也需要对该学科能有一个清楚的认识，做到知己知彼。
跨专业考研或者对考研所考科目较为陌生的同学，则应该快速建立起对这一学科的认知构架，第一轮下来能够把握该学科的宏观层面与整体构成，这对接下来具体而丰富地掌握各个部分、各个层面的知识具有全局和方向性的意义。
做到这一点的好处是节约时间，尽快进入一个陌生领域并找到状态。
很多初入陌生学科的同学会经常把注意力放在细枝末节上，往往是浪费了很多时间还未找到该学科的核心，同时缺乏对该学科的整体认识。
其实考研不一定要天天都埋头苦干或者从早到晚一直看书，关键的是复习效率。
要在持之以恒的基础上有张有弛。
具体复习时间则因人而异。
一般来说，考生应该做到平均一周有一天的放松时间。
四门课中，专业课（数学也属于专业课）占了300分，是考生考入名校的关键，这300分最能拉开层次。
例如，专业课考试中，分值最低的一道名词解释一般也有4分或者更多，而其他专业课大题更是动辄十几分，甚至几十分，所以在时间分配上自然也应该适当地向专业课倾斜。
根据我们的经验，专业课的复习应该以四轮复习为最佳，所以考生在备考的时候有必要结合下面的内容合理地安排自己的时间：第一轮复习：每年的2月—8月底这段时间是整个专业复习的黄金时间，因为在复习过程遇到不懂的难题可以尽早地寻求帮助得到解决。
这半年的时间相对来说也是整个专业复习压力最小、最清闲的时段。
考生不必要在这个时期就开始紧张。
很多考生认为这个时间开始复习有些过早，但是只有早准备才能在最后时刻不会因为时间不够而手忙脚乱。
