II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four passages.Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1What would you do with$559m?This is now a question for Gloria Mackenzie,an84-year-old widow who recently emerged from her small,un-roofed house in Florida to collect the biggest undivided lottery jackpot in history.If she hopes her new-found fortune will yield lasting feelings or fulfillment.She could do worse than read Happy Money by Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton.These two academics use an array of behavioral research to show that the most rewarding ways to spend money can be counterintuitive.Fantasies of great wealth often involve visions of fancy cars and extravagant homes.Yet satisfaction with these maternal purchases wears off fairly quickly.What was Once exciting and new becomes old hat;regret creeps in,It is far better to spend money on experiences,say Ms Dun and Mr.Norton,like interesting trips,unique meals or even going to the cinema.These purchases often become more valuable with time–as stones or memories-particularly if they involve feeling more connected to others.This slim volume is packed with tips to help wage slaves as well as lottery winners get the most”happiness bang for your buck.”It seems most people would be better off if they could shorten their commutes to work,spend more time with friends and family and less of it watching television(something the average American spends a whopping two months a year doing,and is hardly jollier for it).Buying gifts or giving to charity is often more pleasurable than purchasing things for oneself, and luxuries are most enjoyable when they are consumed sparingly.This is apparently the reason McDonald’s restricts the availability of its popular McRib-a marketing trick that has turned the pork sandwich into an object of obsession.Readers of Happy Money are clearly a privileged lot,anxious about fulfilment,not hunger.Money may not quite buy happiness,but people in wealthier countries are generally happier than those in poor ones.Yet the link between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world.and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things for most people. Not everyone will agree with the authors’policy ideas,which range from mandating more holiday time to reducing tax incentives for American homebuyers,But most people will come away from this book believing it was money well spent.21.According to Dumn and Norton,which of the following is the most rewarding purchase?[A]A big house[B]A special tour[C]A stylish car[D]A rich meal22.The author’s attitude toward Americans’watching TV is[A]critical[B]supportive[C]sympathetic[D]ambiguous23.Macrib is mentioned in paragraph3to show that[A]consumers are sometimes irrational[B]popularity usually comes after quality[C]marketing tricks are after effective[D]rarity generally increases pleasure24.According to the last paragraph,Happy Money[A]has left much room for readers’criticism[B]may prove to be a worthwhile purchase[C]has predicted a wider income gap in the us[D]may give its readers a sense of achievement25.This text mainly discusses how to[A]balance feeling good and spending money[B]spend large sums of money won in lotteries[C]obtain lasting satisfaction from money spent[D]become more reasonable in spending on luxuriesText2An article in Scientific America has pointed out that empirical research says that,actually,you think you’re more beautiful than you are.We have a deep-seated need to feel good about ourselves and we naturally employ a number of self-enhancing strategies to research into what the call the "above average effect",or"illusory superiority",and shown that,for example,70%of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership,93%in driving and85%at getting on well with others—all obviously statistical impossibilities.We rose tint our memories and put ourselves into self-affirming situations.We become defensive when criticized,and apply negative stereotypes to others to boost our own esteem,we stalk around thinking we’re hot stuff.Psychologist and behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley oversaw a key studying intoself-enhancement and attractiveness.Rather that have people simply rate their beauty compress with others,he asked them to identify an original photogragh of themselves’from a lineup including versions that had been altered to appear more and less attractive.Visual recognition,reads the study, is"an automatic psychological process occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation".If the subjects quickly chose a falsely flattering image-which must did-they genuinely believed it was really how they looked.Epley found no significant gender difference in responses.Nor was there any evidence that,those who self-enhance the must(that is,the participants who thought the most positively doctored picture were real)were doing so to make up for profound insecurities.In fact those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real directly corresponded with those who showed other makers for having higher self-esteem. "I don’t think the findings that we having have are any evidence of personal delusion",says Epley. "It’s a reflection simply of people generally thinking well of themselves’.If you are depressed,you won’t be self-enhancing.Knowing the results of Epley’s study,it makes sense that why people heat photographs of themselves Viscerally-on one level,they don’t even recognise the person in the picture as themselves,Facebook therefore,is a self-enhancer’s paradise,where people can share only the most flattering photos,the cream of their wit,style,beauty,intellect and lifestyle it’s not that people’s profiles are dishonest,says Catalina Toma of Wiscon—Madison university,"but they portray an idealized version of themselves.26.According to the first paragraph,social psychologist have found that______.[A]our self-ratings are unrealistically high[B]illusory superiority is baseless effect[C]our need for leadership is unnatural[D]self-enhancing strategies are ineffective27.Visual recognition is believed to be people’s______[A]rapid watching[B]conscious choice[C]intuitive response[D]automatic self-defense28.Epley found that people with higher self-esteem tended to______[A]underestimate their insecurities[B]believe in their attractiveness[C]cover up their depressions[D]oversimplify their illusions29.The word"Viscerally"(Line2,para.5)is closest in meaning to_____.[A]instinctively[B]occasionally[C]particularly[D]aggressively30.It can be inferred that Facebook is self-enhancer’s paradise because people can_____.[A]present their dishonest profiles[B]define their traditional life styles[C]share their intellectual pursuits[D]withhold their unflattering sidesText3The concept of man versus machine is at least as old as the industrial revolution,but this phenomenon tends to be most acutely felt during economic downturns and fragile recoveries.And yet,it would be a mistake to think we are right now simply experiencing the painful side of a boom and bust cycle.Certain jobs have gone away for good,outmoded by machines.Since technology has such an insatiable appetite for eating up human jobs,this phenomenon will continue to restructureour economy in ways we can't immediately foresee.When there is exponential improvement in the price and performance of technology,jobs that were once thought to be immune from automation suddenly become threatened.This argument has attracted a lot of attention,via the success of the book Race Against the Machine,by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee,who both hail from MIT's Center for Digital Business.This is a powerful argument,and a scary one.And yet,John Hagel,author of The Power of Pull and other books,says Brynjolfsson and McAfee miss the reason why these jobs are so vulnerable to technology in the first place.Hagel says we have designed jobs in the U.S.that tend to be"tightly scripted"and"highly standardized"ones that leave no room for"individual initiative or creativity."In short,these are the types of jobs that machines can perform much better at than human beings.That is how we have put a giant target sign on the backs of American workers,Hagel says.It's time to reinvent the formula for how work is conducted,since we are still relying on a very 20th century notion of work,Hagel says.In our rapidly changing economy,we more than ever need people in the workplace who can take initiative and exercise their imagination"to respond to unexpected events."That's not something machines are good at.They are designed to perform very predictable activities.As Hagel notes,Brynjolfsson and McAfee indeed touched on this point in their book.We need to reframe race against the machine as race with the machine.In other words,we need to look at the ways in which machines can augment human labor rather than replace it.So then the problem is not really about technology,but rather,"how do we innovate our institutions and our work practices?"31.According to the first paragraph,economic downturns would_____.[A]ease the competition of man vs.machine[B]highlight machines’threat to human jobs[C]provoke a painful technological revolution[D]outmode our current economic structure32.The authors of Race Against the Machine argue that_____.[A]technology is diminishing man’s job opportunities[B]automation is accelerating technological development[C]certain jobs will remain intact after automation[D]man will finally win the race against machine33.Hagel argues that jobs in the U.S.are often_____.[A]performed by innovative minds[B]scripted with an individual style[C]standardized without a clear target[D]designed against human creativity34.According to the last paragraph,Brynjolfsson and McAfee discussed_____.[A]the predictability of machine behavior in practice[B]the formula for how work is conducted efficiently[C]the ways machines replace human labor in modern times[D]the necessity of human involvement in the workplace35.Which of the following could be the most appropriate title for the text?[A]How to Innovate Our Work Practices[B]Machines will Replace Human Labor[C]Can We Win the Race Against Machines[D]Economic Downturns Stimulate InnovationsText4When the government talks about infrastructure contributing to the economy the focus is usually on roads,railways,broadband and energy.Housing is seldom mentioned.Why is that?To some extent the housing sector must shoulder the blame.We have not been good at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth.Then there is the scale of the typical housing project.It is hard to jostle for attention among multibillion-pound infrastructure projects,so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere.But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.This government does not want to see a return to large-scale provision of council housing,so it is naturally wary of measures that will lead us down that route.Nevertheless,the affordable housing situation is desperate.Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this.It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.There are some indications that it is preparing to do just that.The communities minister,Don Foster,has hinted that George Osborne may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt.The cap,introduced in 2012as part of the Housing Revenue Account reform,has been a major issue for the sector. Evidence shows that60,000extra new homes could be built over the next five years if the cap were lifted,increasing GDP by0.6%.Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment,which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.Finally,they should look at the way in which public sector land is released.Currently up-front payments are required,putting a financial burden on the housing provider.A more positive stimulus would be to encourage a system where the land is made available and maintained as a long-term equity stake in the project.But it is not just down to the government.While these measures would be welcome in the short term,we must face up to the fact that the existing£4.5bn programme of grants to fund newaffordable housing,set to expire in2015,is unlikely to be extended beyond then.The Labour party has recently announced that it will retain a large part of the coalition's spending plans if it returns to power.The housing sector needs to accept that we are very unlikely to ever return to the era of large-scale public grants.We need to adjust to this changing climate.This means that affordable housing specialists like Wates Living Space have to create a whole new way of working in partnership with registered providers.We have to be prepared to take on more of the risk during the development phase,driving down the cost to deliver high-quality affordable housing and,most importantly,developing alternative funding models to help achieve this.While the government's commitment to long-term funding may have changed,the very pressing need for more affordable housing is real and is not going away.The comprehensive spending review provides the opportunity to start moving us in the right direction–stimulating investment in new supply and quickly delivering tangible benefits to local economies.It also helps create the space to develop a long-term sustainable strategy for.36.The author believes that the housing sector______.[A]has attracted much attention[B]has lost its real value in economy[C]shoulders too much responsibility[D]involves certain political factors37.It can be learned that affordable housing has_____.[A]suffered government biases[B]increased its home supply[C]offered spending opportunities[D]disappointed the government38.According to Paragraph5,George Osborne may_____.[A]prepare to reduce housing stock debt[B]release a lifted GDP growth forecast[C]allow greater government debt for housing[D]stop local authorities from building homes39.It can be inferred that a stable rental environment would_____.[A]lower the costs of registered providers[B]relieve the minister of responsibilities[C]contribute to funding new developments[D]lessen the impact of government interference40.The author believes that after2015,the government may_____.[A]implement more policies to support housing[B]stop generous funding to the housing sector[C]renew the affordable housing grants programme[D]review the need for large-scale public grantsPart BDirections:Read the following text and answer questions by finding information from the right column that corresponds to each of the marked details given in the left column.There are two extra choices in the left column.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(10points)Emerging in the late Sixties and reaching a peak in the Seventies,Land Art was one of a range of new forms,including Body Art,Performance Art,Action Art and Installation Art,which pushed art beyond the traditional confines of the studio and gallery.Rather than portraying landscape,land artists used the physical substance of eland itself as their medium.The British land artist,typified by Richard Long’s piece,was not only more domestically scaled, but a lot quirkier than its American counterpart.Indeed,while you might assume that an exhibition of Land Art would consist only of records of works rather than the works themselves,Long’s photograph of his work is the work.Since his“action”is in the past the photograph is its sole embodiment.That might seem rather an obscure point,but it sets the tone for an exhibition that contains a lot of black-and-white photographs and relatively few natural objects.Long is Britain’s best-known Land Artist and his Stone Circle,a perfect ring of purplish rocks from Portishead beach laid out on the gallery floor,represents the elegant,rarefied side of the form. The Boyle Family,on the other hand,stand for its dirty,urban prising artists Mark Boyle and Joan Hills and their children,they recreated random sections of the British landscape on gallery walls.Their Olaf Street Study,a square of brick-strewn waste ground,is one of the few works here to embrace the mundanity that characterises most of our experience of the landscape most of the time.Parks feature,particularly in the earlier works,such as John Hilliard’s very funny.Across the Park,in which a long-haired stroller is variously smiled at by a pretty girl and unwittingly assaulted in a sequence of images that turn out to be different parts of the same photograph.Generally however British land artists preferred to get away from towns,gravitating towards landscapes that are traditionally considered beautiful such as the Lake District or the Wiltshire Downs.While it probably wasn’t apparent at the time,much of this work is permeated by a spirit of romantic escapism that the likes of Wordsworth would have readily understood.Derek Jarman’s yellow-tinted film Towards Avebury,a collection of long,mostly still shots of the Wiltshire landscape,evokes a tradition of English landscape painting stretching from Samuel Palmer toPaul Nash.In the case of Hamish Fulton,you can’t help feeling that the Scottish artist has simply found a way of making his love of walking pay.A typical work,such as Seven Days,consists of a single beautiful black-and-white photograph taken on an epic walk,with the mileage and number of days taken listed beneath.British Land Art as shown in this well selected,but relatively modestly scaled exhibitionwasn’t about imposing on the landscape,more a kind of landscape-orientated light conceptual art created passing through.It had its origins in the great outdoors,but the results were as gallery-bound as the paintings of Turner and Constable.[A]originates from a long walk that the artist took.41.Stone Cirele [B]illustrates a kind of landscape-orientated light conceptual art.42.Olaf Street Study [C]reminds people of the English landscape painting tradition.43.Across the Park[D]represents the elegance of the British land art.44.TowardsAvebury[E]depicts the ordinary side of the British land art.45.Seven Days[F]embodies a romantic escape into the Scottish outdoors.[G]contains images from different parts of the samephotograph.Section III Translation46.Directions:Translate the following text from English into Chinese.Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET 2.(15points)Most people would define optimism as being endlessly happy,with a glass that’s perpetually half full.But that’s exactly the kind of false cheerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend.“Healthy optimism means being in touch with reality,”says Tal Ben-Shahar,a Harvard professor.According to Ben-Shahar,realistic optimists are those who make the best of things that happen,but not those who believe everything happens for the best.Ben-Shahar uses three optimistic exercises.When he feels down-say,after giving a bad lecture-he grants himself permission to be human.He reminds himself that not every lecture can be a Nobel winner;some will be less effective than others.Next is reconstruction.He analyzes the weak lecture, learning lessons for the future about what works and what doesn’t.Finally,there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the grand scheme of life,one lecture really doesn’t matter.Section IV WritingPart A47.Directions:Suppose you are going to study abroad and share an apartment with John,a local student.Write him an email to1)tell him about your living habits,and2)ask for advice about living there.You should write about100words on ANSWER SHEET2.Do not sign your own name at the end of the e“Zhang Wei”instead.Do not write your address.(10points)Part B48.Directions:In this section,you are asked to write an essay based on the following chart1)interpret the chart,and2)give your comments.You should write at least150words.Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET2.(15points)2014考研英语二真题答案(华*章MBA提*供)1A2B3C4B5D6C7A8A9D10D11A12B13C14B15B16D17C18D19C20A21.答案解析：B本题为细节题定位：It is far better to spend money on experiences,say Ms Dunn and Mr Norton,like interesting trips,unique meals or even going to the cinema.正确选项正是原文的事例，只是用近义词tour 替换了trips,而其他选项正是原文所否定的内容。

2014年考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案（一）
2014年考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案（一）2014年考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案（一）Passage 1In 1939 two brothers, Mac and Dick McDonald, started a drive-in restaurant in San Bernadino, California. They carefully chose a busy corner for their location. They had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue(烤肉)restaurant, and then another drive-in. But in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: French fries, hamburgers, and sodas. To this small selection they added one new concept: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.Their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. Cheese was another four cents. Their French fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity, for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks' sticking to their routine. Their new drive-in became incredibly popular, particularly for lunch. People drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. The self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. They were content with this modest success untilthey met Ray Kroc.Kroc was a salesman who met the McDonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milk shake-mixing machines. He quickly saw the unique appeal of the brothers' fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营)other copies of their restaurants. The agreement struck included the right to duplicate the menu. The equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches(拱门).Today McDonald's is really a household name.

Private Car in AmericaThe private automobile(私家车)has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, sixty-nine percent of American families owned at least one car, and thirty-eight percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.For farm families, the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools. Family life has been affected(影响)in different ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs, or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws. Mothers of victims(受害者)of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD(Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving)and are spreading the same message among their friends.For many Americans, the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to American, even though they cause a lot of environmental problems to people.1. People in the United States start to have their private automobile recently.A .True B.

2014MBA在职联考英语模拟试题（一）【3】B. People will stop making robots.C. There will be laws against using robots.D. Robots will benefit nobody.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the following passage:Tests conducted at the University of Pennsylvania' s Psychological Laberatory showed that anger is one of the most difficult emotions to Find out from facialexpressions.Professor Dallas E. Buzby confronted 716 students with pictures of extremely angry persons , and asked them to identify the emotion from the facial expression. Only two percent made correct judgments. Anger was most frequently judged as"Fleased".And a typical reaction of a student confronted with the picture of a man who was mad was to classify his expression as either"bewildered" , "quizzical" , or simply"amazed" . Other studies showed that it is extremely difficult to tell whether a man is angry or not just by looking at his face. The investigators found further that women are better at finding out anger from facial expressions than men are. Paradoxically , they found that psychological training does not improve one's ability to judge a man' s emotions by his expressions but actually hinders it . For in the university tests ,the more courses the student had taken in psychology , the poorer judgment score he turned in .29. The information in this passage centers around_____.A. the relation between anger and other emotionsB. the differences between men and women with respect to emotionC. the influence of psychology on human emotionsD. the discovery of anger from facial expressions30 . When tested,students with psychological training_________.A. marked less than two percent of their possible choices correctlyB. did better than the average student in the groupC. seemed less able to judge correctly than the average studentD. performed in a manner not specified in the passage31 . To achieve the greatest success in finding out anger ftoiii facial expressions ,it would be best to__.A. use adults rather than students as judgesB. ask women who do not study psycholsy to judge itC. ask men rather than women to judge itD. be satisfied with a two percent success, if such a perceotage is guaranteed32. The last two sentences in the second paragraph show that----.A. such training has not resulted in better scoresB. we have really achieved the anticipated resultsC. the judgment is similar to what we have expectedD. we can expect such training to have the effect statedQuestions 33 to 36 are based on the following passage:Wouldn't it be great if you could just look up at the sky and read the weather forecast right away? Well,you can. The forecast is written in clouds. If you can read that writing, you can tell something about the atmosphere. With some practice, you can become a pretty good weather forecaster. Who knows , you might even do as well as meteorologists.Meteorologists use much more information than just theappear. ance of the clouds to make their forecast. They collect data from all over the world. Then they put it into powerful, high - speed computers.This does give meteorologists an advantage , because they can track weather patterns as they move from west to east across the country.But you have an advantage,too. You can look at the sky and get your data directly. A meteorologist uses a computer forecast that's several hours old to make a local forecast .What are you seeing when you look at a cloud?" A picture of what moisture is doing in the atmosphere" says meteorologist Peter Leavit . There's moisture throughout the atmosphere. Most of the time you don't see it , because it's in the form of an invisible gas called water vapor .Sometimes, the temperature of the air gets cold enough to cause the water vapor to change to liquid water. That's called condensation , and we see it happen all the time( for example , when humid air from the hower hits the cold glass of a mirror) . When enough water vapor condenses, droplets form in the air. These droplets scatter light. A cloud is seen.Watching clouds over a day or two tells you a lot more than a single cloud about the weather to come. Changes in clouds show changes in the atmosphere.You should begin to notice patterns. Certain clouds, following each other in order, can singal an approaching storm. But don't take our word for it; see for yourself.33 . This passage mainly tells us about how__________.A. to become a meteorologistB. to keep an eye on the weatherC. to be an assistant to a meteorologistD. to change water vapor to liquid water34.Acording to the passage , an ordinary person might do as well as a meteorologist in weather forecast---.A. with the help of the high - speed computers.B. through a complex process of calculationC. with some simple practice looking up at the skyD.consulting a weather station.35 . Meteorologists make their weather forecast---.A. by collecting data from all over the worldB. by putting this data into powerful , high - speed computersC. by calculating and analyzing this dataD.all above.36 . Your advantage in weather forecasts is that---.A. you have more powerful computers at homeB. your brain works as well as a high speed computerC. you observe the sky and obtain your data directlyD.teorologists give their data to you as soon as they get themQuestions 37 to 40 are based on the following passage:Security and commodity exchanges are trading posts where people meet who wish to buy or sell. The exchanges themselves do no trading,`they merely provide a place where prospective buyers and sellers can meet and conduct their business.Wall Street , although the best known , is not the only home of ex- changes in the United States. There are cotton exchanges in New Or- leans and Chicago `, the Mercantile Exchange , which deals in many farm products , in Chicago `, and grain exchanges in many of the large cities of the Midwest . Some exchanges , like the Chicago Board of Trade , provide market services for several kinds products.These trading posts where products may bebought or sold are called commodity exchanges .The security exchanges, on the other hand, are meeting places where stocks and bonds are traded. Like the commodity exchanges, they help serve the economic life of the country. But when their opera- tions get out of hand, they may become very dangerous. In 1929, the security exchanges, or stock market , contributed to a crash a sudden , sharp decline in the value of securities . Many people lost fortunes `, many corporations were bankrupted ,` many workers lost their jobs. The Crash of 1929 has been attributed to many causes ,among them wild and unwise speculation by many people and dishonest practices on the part of some businessmen and of some members of the exchanges.Today , however , investing through security exchanges and trading on commodity exchanges has been made safer by regulations set up by the exchanges themselves and by regulations of the United States government. In 1922, the government instituted the Commodity Exchange Commission which operated through the Department of Agriculture `, and in 1934 , the Securities and Exchanges Commission , to protect investors and the public against dishonest practices on the exchanges .37. Security and commodity exchanges are meeting places for buyers and sellers of---- .A. stocksB. grainC.securitiesD. all of these38 . Among the reasons for the Crash of 1929 were.A. unwise speculation by many peopleB. dishonest practices by some businessmenC. strict regulations of the Commodity Exchange CommissionD.both A and B.39.Investing insecurities has been made safer by.----A. the Securities and Exchange CommissionB. the Commodity Exchange CommissionC.Chicago Board of TradeD. Chicago Mercantile Exchange40 . Implies but not stated---- :.A. Some exchanges provide market services for several kinds of productsB. The role of the government has been an important factor in curbing dishonest practices on the ExchangesC. Investing in securities is unwiseD. Buying and selling securities is dishonest.。

2014年全国卷1-英语试卷以及答案
2014年全国卷1-英语试卷以及答案DBPassenger pigeons (旅鸽)once flew over much of the United States in unbelievable numbers.Written accounts from the 18th and 19th centuries described flocks (群)so large that they the sky forhours.It was calculated that when its population reached its highest point , there were more than 3 billlionpassenger pigeons—a number equal to 24 to 40 percent of the total bird population in the United States, making it perhaps the most abundant bird in the world. Even as late as 1870 when their numbers had already become smaller, a flock believed to be 1-mile-wide and 320 miles (about 515 kilometers) long was seen near Cincinnati.Sadly the abundance of passenger pigeons may have been their undoing. Where the birds weremost abundant, people believed there was an ever-lasting supply and killed them by the thousands,Commercial hunters attracted them to small clearings with grain, waited until pigeons had settled to feed, then threw large nets over them, taking hundreds at a time. The birds were shipped to large cities and sold in restaurants.By the closing decades of the 19th century, the hardwood forests where passenger pigeons nested had been damaged by American’s need for wood, which scattered (驱散) the flocks and forced the birds to go farther north, where cold temperatures and storms contributed to their decline. Soon the great flocks were gone, never to be seen again.In 1897, the state of Michigan passed a law prohibiting the killing of passenger pigeons but by then, no sizable flocks had been seen in the state for 10 years. The last confirmed pigeon in the United States was shot by a boy in Pike County, Ohio, in 1900. For a time, a few birds survived under human care. The last of them, known affectionately as Martha, died at the Cincinnati Zoological Garden on September 1, 1914.24. In the 18th and early 19th centuries, passenger pigeons____.A. were the biggest bird in the worldB. lived mainly in the south of AmericaC. did great harm to the natural environmentD. were the largest bird population in the Us25. The underlined wor d “ undoing” probably refers to the pigeons’ ____A. escapeB. ruinC. liberationD. evolution26. What was the main reason for people to kill passenger pigeons?A. To seek pleasure.B. To save other birds.C. To make money.D. To protect crops.27. What can we infer about the law passed in Michigan?A. It was ignored by the public.B. It was declared too late.C. It was unfair.D. It was strict.CA typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in people’s mind is an ente rtainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’ the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair n front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion becomes confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)—only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is been the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant’ focus or that we’re focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing,. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to accomplish, someone you want to become…take immediat e action. If you’re clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.28. Why does the lion tamer use a chair?A. To trick the lion.B. To show off his skills.C. To get ready for a fight.D. To entertain the audience.29. In what sense are people similar to a lion facing a chair?A. They feel puzzled over choices.B. They hold on to the wrong things.C. They find it hard to make changes.D. They have to do something for show30. What is th e author’s attitude towards the expert mentioned in Paragraph3?A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Respectful.D. Supportive.31. When the world is “ waving a chair in your face”, you’re advised to _____A. wait for a better chanceB. break your old habitsC. make a quick decisionD. ask for clear guidanceD.As more and more people speak the global languages of English, Chinese, Spanish, and Arabic, other languages are rapidly disappearing. In fact, half of the 6,000-7,000 languages spoken around the world today will likely die out by the next century, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).In an effort to prevent language loss, scholars from a number of organizations _UNESCO and National Geographic among them—have for many years been documenting dying languages and the cultures they reflect.Mark Turin, a scientist at the Macmillan Centre Yale University, who specializes in the languages and oral traditions of the Himalayas, is following in that tradition. His recently published book, A Grammar of Thangmi with an Ethnolinguistic Introduction to the Speakers and Their Culture, grows out of his experience living, working, and raising a family in a village in Nepal.Documenting the Thangmi language and culture is just a starting point for Turin, who seeks to include other languages and oral traditions across the Himalayan reaches of India , Nepal, Bhutan, and China . But he is not content to simply record these voices before they disappear without record.At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials-including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.Now, through the two organizations that he has founded –the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project __Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected. Thanks to digital technologyand the widely available Internet, Turin notes, the endangered languages can be saved and reconnected with speech communities.32. Many scholars are making efforts to ______.A. promote global languagesB. rescue disappearing languagesC. search for language communitiesD. set up language researchorganizations.33. What does “that tradition’ in Paragraph 3 refer to_______ ?A. Having full records of the languagesB. Writing books on language teaching.C. Telling stories about language usersD. Living with the native speaker.34. What is Turin’s book based on?A. The cultural studiesB. The documents available atYale.C. His language research in Bhutan.D. His personal experience in Nepal.35. Which of the following best describe Turin’s work?A. Write, sell and donate.B. Record, repair and reward.C. Collect, protect and reconnect.D. Design, experiment and report.第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

A．True
B．False
C．Not Given
【答案】A
【解析】由第二段后两句可知，度假是值得期盼的。它会给我们一种感觉，那就是目前发生的任何事情都将很快结束故选A。
Companies sometimes use away-breaks to restore（恢复）motivation and team relationships. If you're able to switch off and leave your daily work behind, when you come back, you often view old situations with fresh eyes and see them in a new way.
Vacations also allow us to focus on the present in a way that's hard to do at home. When you're in a new environment for a short time, your attention tends to be on what's happening right now and in the next few days. Being "in the moment" is in itself one of the keys to getting relaxed, and this happens more naturally on vacation.

ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40points)Text1In order to“change lives for the better”and reduce“dependency”,George Osborne,Chancellor of the Exchequer,introduced the“upfront work search”scheme.Only if the jobless arrive at the jobcentre with a CV,register for online job search,and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit–and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly.What could be more reasonable?More apparent reasonableness followed.There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker’s allowance.“Those first few days should be spent looking for work,not looking to sign on,”he claimed.“We’re doing these things because we know they help people stay off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster.”Help?Really?On first hearing,this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better,complete with“reforms”to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work,and subsidises laziness.What motivated him,we were to understand,was his zeal for“fundamental fairness”–protecting the taxpayer,controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits.Losing a job is hurting:you don’t skip down to the jobcentre with a song in your heart,delighted at the prospect of doubling your income from the generous state.It is financially terrifying,psychologically embarrassing and you know that support is minimal and extraordinarily hard to get.You are now not wanted;you are now excluded from the work environment that offers purpose and structure in your life.Worse,the crucial income to feed yourself and your family and pay the bills has disappeared.Ask anyone newly unemployed what they want and the answer is always:a job.But in Osborneland,your first instinct is to fall into dependency–permanent dependency if you can get it–supported by a state only too ready to indulge your falsehood.It is as though20years of ever-tougher reforms of the job search and benefit administration system never happened.The principle of British welfare is no longer that you can insure yourself against the risk of unemployment and receive unconditional payments if the disaster happens.Even the very phrase “jobseeker’s allowance”is about redefining the unemployed as a“jobseeker”who had no fundamental right to a benefit he or she has earned through making national insurance contributions.Instead,the claimant receives a time-limited “allowance,”conditional on actively seeking a job;no entitlement and no insurance,at£71.70a week,one of the least generous in the EU.21.George Osborne’s scheme was intended to[A]encourage jobseekers’active engagement in job seeking.[B]provide the unemployed with easier access to benefits.[C]guarantee jobseekers’legitimate right to benefits.[D]motivate the unemployed to report voluntarily.22.The phrase“to sign on”(Line3,Para.2)most probably means[A]to check on the availability of jobs at the jobcentre.[B]to accept the government’s restrictions on the allowance.[C]to register for an allowance from the government.[D]to attend a governmental job-training program.23.What prompted the chancellor to develop his scheme?[A]A desire to secure a better life for all.[B]An eagerness to protect the unemployed.[C]An urge to be generous to the claimants.[D]A passion to ensure fairness for taxpayers.24.According to Paragraph3,being unemployed makes one feel[A]uneasy.[B]insulted.[C]enraged.[D]guilty.25.To which of the following would the author most probably agree?[A]Unemployment benefits should not be made conditional.[B]The British welfare system indulges jobseekers’laziness.[C]The jobseekers’allowance has met their actual needs.[D]Osborne’s reforms will reduce the risk of unemployment.Text2All around the world,lawyers generate more hostility than the members of any other profession–with the possible exception of journalism.But there are few places where clients have more grounds for complaint than America.During the decade before the economic crisis,spending on legal services in America grew twice as fast as inflation.The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money,tempting ever more students to pile into law schools.But most law graduates never get a big-firm job.Many of them instead become the kind of nuisance-lawsuit filer that makes the tort system a costly nightmare.There are many reasons for this.One is the excessive costs of a legal education.There is just one path for a lawyer in most American states:a four-year undergraduate degree in some unrelated subject,then a three-year law degree at one of200law schools authorized by the American Bar Association and an expensive preparation for the bar exam.This leaves today’s average law-school graduate with$100,000of debt on top of undergraduate w-school debt means that they have to work fearsomely hard.Reforming the system would help both lawyers and their customers.Sensible ideas have been around for a long time,but the state-level bodies that govern the profession have been too conservative to implement them.One idea is to allow people to study law as an undergraduate degree.Another is to let students sit for the bar after only two years of law school.If the bar exam is truly a stern enough test for a would-be lawyer,those who can sit it earlier should be allowed to do so. Students who do not need the extra training could cut their debt mountain by a third.The other reason why costs are so high is the restrictive guild-like ownership structure of the business.Except in the District of Columbia,non-lawyers may not own any share of a law firm.This keeps fees high and innovation slow.There is pressure for change from within the profession,but opponents of change among the regulators insist that keeping outsiders out of a law firm isolates lawyers from the pressure to make money rather than serve clients ethically.In fact,allowing non-lawyers to own shares in law firms would reduce costs and improve services to customers,by encouraging law firms to use technology and to employ professional managers to focus on improving firms’efficiency. After all,other countries,such as Australia and Britain,have started liberalizing their legal professions.America should follow.26.A lot of students take up law as their profession due to[A]the growing demand from clients.[B]the increasing pressure of inflation.[C]the prospect of working in big firms.[D]the attraction of financial rewards.27.Which of the following adds to the costs of legal education in most Americanstates?[A]Higher tuition fees for undergraduate studies.[B]Receiving training by professional associations.[C]Admissions approval from the bar association.[D]Pursuing a bachelor’s degree in another major.28.Hindrance to the reform of the legal system originates from[A]the rigid bodies governing the profession.[B]lawyers’and clients’strong resistance.[C]the stern exam for would-be lawyers.[D]non-professionals’sharp criticism.29.The guild-like ownership structure is considered“restrictive”partly because it[A]prevents lawyers from gaining due profits.[B]bans outsiders’involvement in the profession.[C]aggravates the ethical situation in the trade.[D]keeps lawyers from holding law-firm shares.30.In this text,the author mainly discusses[A]the factors that help make a successful lawyer in America.[B]a problem in America’s legal profession and solutions to it.[C]the role of undergraduate studies in America’s legal education.[D]flawed ownership of America’s law firms and its causes.Text3The US$3-million Fundamental Physics Prize is indeed an interesting experiment,as Alexander Polyakov said when he accepted this year’s award in March.And it is far from the only one of its type.As a News Feature article in Nature discusses,a string of lucrative awards for researchers have joined the Nobel Prizes in recent years.Many,like the Fundamental Physics Prize,are funded from the telephone-number-sized bank accounts of Internet entrepreneurs. These benefactors have succeeded in their chosen fields,they say,and they want to use their wealth to draw attention to those who have succeeded in science.What’s not to like?Quite a lot,according to a handful of scientists quoted in the News Feature.You cannot buy class,as the old saying goes,and these upstart entrepreneurs cannot buy their prizes the prestige of the Nobels.The new awards are an exercise in self-promotion for those behind them,say scientists.They could distort the achievement-based system of peer-review-led research.They could cement the status quo of peer-reviewed research.They do not fund peer-reviewed research.They perpetuate the myth of the lone genius.The goals of the prize-givers seem as scattered as the criticism.Some want to shock,others to draw people into science,or to better reward those who have made their careers in research.As Nature has pointed out before,there are some legitimate concerns about how science prizes–both new and old–are distributed.The Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences,launched this year,takes an unrepresentative view of what the life sciences include.But the Nobel Foundation’s limit of three recipients per prize,each of whom must still be living,has long been outgrown by the collaborative nature of modern research–as will be demonstrated by the inevitable row over who is ignored when it comes to acknowledging the discovery of the Higgs boson.The Nobels were,of course,themselves set up by a very rich individual who had decided what he wanted to do with his own money.Time, rather than intention,has given them legitimacy.As much as some scientists may complain about the new awards,two things seem clear.First,most researchers would accept such a prize if they were offered one.Second,it is surely a good thing that the money and attention come to science rather than go elsewhere.It is fair to criticize and question the mechanism –that is the culture of research,after all–but it is the prize-givers’money to do with as they please.It is wise to take such gifts with gratitude and grace.31.The Fundamental Physics Prize is seen as[A]a symbol of the entrepreneurs’wealth.[B]a handsome reward for researchers.[C]a possible replacement of the Nobel Prizes.[D]an example of bankers’investments.32.The critics think that the new awards will most benefit[A]the profit-oriented scientists.[B]the achievement-based system.[C]the founders of the new awards.[D]peer-review-led research.33.The discovery of the Higgs boson is a typical case which involves[A]legitimate concerns over the new prizes.[B]controversies over the recipients’status.[C]the joint effort of modern researchers.[D]the demonstration of research findings.34.According to Paragraph4,which of the following is true of the Nobels?[A]History has never cast doubt on them.[B]Their endurance has done justice to them.[C]They are the most representative honor.[D]Their legitimacy has long been in dispute.35.The author believes that the new awards are[A]unworthy of public attention.[B]subject to undesirable changes.[C]harmful to the culture of research.[D]acceptable despite the criticism.Text4“The Heart of the Matter,”the just-released report by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences(AAAS),deserves praise for affirming the importance of the humanities and social sciences to the prosperity and security of liberal democracy in America.Regrettably,however,the report’s failure to address the true nature of the crisis facing liberal education may cause more harm than good.In2010,leading congressional Democrats and Republicans sent letters to the AAAS asking that it identify actions that could be taken by“federal,state and local governments,universities,foundations,educators,individual benefactors and others”to“maintain national excellence in humanities and social scientific scholarship and education.”In response,the American Academy formed the Commission on the Humanities and Social Sciences.Among the commission’s51members are top-tier-university presidents,scholars,lawyers,judges,and business executives, as well as prominent figures from diplomacy,filmmaking,music and journalism.The goals identified in the report are generally admirable.Because representative government presupposes an informed citizenry,the report supports full literacy;stresses the study of history and government,particularly American history and American government;and encourages the use of new digital technologies.To encourage innovation and competition,the report calls for increased investment in research,the crafting of coherent curricula that improve students’ability to solve problems and communicate effectively in the21st century,increased funding for teachers and the encouragement of scholars to bring their learning to bear on the great challenges of the day.The report also advocates greater study of foreign languages,international affairs and the expansion of study abroad programs.Unfortunately,despite21/2years in the making,“The Heart of the Matter”never gets to the heart of the matter:the illiberal nature of liberal education at our leading colleges and universities.The commission ignores that for several decades America’s colleges and universities have produced graduates who don’t know the content and character of liberal education and are thus deprived of its benefits. Sadly,the spirit of inquiry once at home on campus has been replaced by the use of the humanities and social sciences as vehicles for publicizing“progressive,”or left-liberal propaganda.Today,professors routinely treat the progressive interpretation of history and progressive public policy as the proper subject of study while portraying conservative or classical liberal ideas–such as free markets and self-reliance–as falling outside the boundaries of routine,and sometimes legitimate,intellectual investigation.The AAAS displays great enthusiasm for liberal education.Yet its report may well set back reform by obscuring the depth and breadth of the challenge that Congress asked it to illuminate.36.According to Paragraph1,what is the author’s attitude toward the AAAS’s report?[A]Critical.[B]Appreciative.[C]Contemptuous.[D]Tolerant.37.Influential figures in the Congress required that the AAAS report on how to[A]define the government’s role in education.[B]safeguard individuals’rights to education.[C]retain people’s interest in liberal education.[D]keep a leading position in liberal education.38.According to Paragraph3,the report suggests[A]an exclusive study of American history.[B]a greater emphasis on theoretical subjects.[C]the application of emerging technologies.[D]funding for the study of foreign languages.39.The author implies in Paragraph5that professors are[A]supportive of free markets.[B]conservative about public policy.[C]biased against classical liberal ideas.[D]cautious about intellectual investigation.40.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?[A]Ways to Grasp“The Heart of the Matter”[B]Illiberal Education and“The Heart of the Matter”[C]The AAAS’s Contribution to Liberal Education[D]Progressive Policy vs.Liberal EducationPart BDirections:The following paragraphs are given in a wrong order.For Questions41-45,you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent text by choosing from the list A-G and filling them into the numbered boxes.Paragraphs A and E have been correctly placed.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points) [A]Some archaeological sites have always been easily observable–for example,the Parthenon in Athens,Greece;the pyramids of Giza in Egypt;and the megaliths of Stonehenge in southern England.But these sites are exceptions to the norm.Most archaeological sites have been located by means of careful searching,while many others have been discovered by accident.Olduvai Gorge, an early hominid site in Tanzania,was found by a butterfly hunter who literally fell into its deep valley in1911.Thousands of Aztec artifacts came to light during the digging of the Mexico City subway in the1970s.[B]In another case,American archaeologists RenéMillion and George Cowgillspent years systematically mapping the entire city of Teotihuacán in the Valley of Mexico near what is now Mexico City.At its peak around AD600, this city was one of the largest human settlements in the world.The researchers mapped not only the city’s vast and ornate ceremonial areas,but also hundreds of simpler apartment complexes where common people lived. [C]How do archaeologists know where to find what they are looking for whenthere is nothing visible on the surface of the ground?Typically,they survey and sample(make test excavations on)large areas of terrain to determine where excavation will yield useful information.Surveys and test samples have also become important for understanding the larger landscapes that contain archaeological sites.[D]Surveys can cover a single large settlement or entire landscapes.In one case,many researchers working around the ancient Maya city of Copán,Honduras, have located hundreds of small rural villages and individual dwellings by using aerial photographs and by making surveys on foot.The resulting settlement maps show how the distribution and density of the rural population around the city changed dramatically between AD500and850,when Copán collapsed.[E]To find their sites,archaeologists today rely heavily on systematic surveymethods and a variety of high-technology tools and techniques.Airborne technologies,such as different types of radar and photographic equipment carried by airplanes or spacecraft,allow archaeologists to learn about what lies beneath the ground without digging.Aerial surveys locate general areas of interest or larger buried features,such as ancient buildings or fields.[F]Most archaeological sites,however,are discovered by archaeologists whohave set out to look for them.Such searches can take years.British archaeologist Howard Carter knew that the tomb of the Egyptian pharaoh Tutankhamun existed from information found in other sites.Carter sifted through rubble in the Valley of the Kings for seven years before he located the tomb in1922.In the late1800s British archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans combed antique dealers’stores in Athens,Greece.He was searching for tiny engraved seals attributed to the ancient Mycenaean culture that dominated Greece from the1400s to1200s BC.Evans’s interpretations of these engravings eventually led him to find the Minoan palace at Knossos(Knosós), on the island of Crete,in1900.[G]Ground surveys allow archaeologists to pinpoint the places where digs will besuccessful.Most ground surveys involve a lot of walking,looking for surface clues such as small fragments of pottery.They often include a certain amount of digging to test for buried materials at selected points across a landscape.Archaeologists also may locate buried remains by using such technologies as ground radar,magnetic-field recording,and metal detectors.Archaeologists commonly use computers to map sites and the landscapes around sites.Two-and three-dimensional maps are helpful tools in planning excavations, illustrating how sites look,and presenting the results of archaeological research.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.(10 points)Music means different things to different people and sometimes even different things to the same person at different moments of his life.It might be poetic,philosophical,sensual,or mathematical,but in any case it must,in my view,have something to do with the soul of the human being.Hence it is metaphysical;but the means of expression is purely and exclusively physical: sound.I believe it is precisely this permanent coexistence of metaphysical message through physical means that is the strength of music.(46)It is also the reason why when we try to describe music with words,all we can do is articulate our reactions to it,and not grasp music itself.Beethoven’s importance in music has been principally defined by the revolutionary nature of his compositions.He freed music from hitherto prevailing conventions of harmony and structure.Sometimes I feel in his late works a will to break all signs of continuity.The music is abrupt and seemingly disconnected,as in the last piano sonata.In musical expression,he did not feel restrained by the weight of convention.(47)By all accounts he was a freethinking person,and a courageous one,and I find courage an essential quality for the understanding,let alone the performance,of his works.This courageous attitude in fact becomes a requirement for the performers of Beethoven’s music.His compositions demand the performer to show courage,for example in the use of dynamics.(48)Beethoven’s habit of increasing the volume with an extreme intensity and then abruptly following it with a sudden soft passage was only rarely used by composers before him.Beethoven was a deeply political man in the broadest sense of the word.He was not interested in daily politics,but concerned with questions of moral behavior and the larger questions of right and wrong affecting the entire society.(49)Especially significant was his view of freedom,which,for him,was associated with the rights and responsibilities of the individual:he advocated freedom of thought and of personal expression.Beethoven’s music tends to move from chaos to order as if order were an imperative of human existence.For him,order does not result from forgetting or ignoring the disorders that plague our existence;order is a necessary development, an improvement that may lead to the Greek ideal of spiritual elevation.It is not by chance that the Funeral March is not the last movement of the Eroica Symphony, but the second,so that suffering does not have the last word.(50)One could interpret much of the work of Beethoven by saying that suffering is inevitable,but the courage to fight it renders life worth living.SectionⅢWritingPart A51.Directions:Write a letter of about100words to the president of your university, suggesting how to improve students’physical condition.You should include the

Money may not quite buy happiness,but people in wealthier countries are generally happier than those in poor ones.Yet the link between feeling good and spending money on others can be seen among rich and poor people around the world,and scarcity enhances the pleasure of most things for most people.Not everyone will agree with the authors’policy ideas,which range from mandating more holiday time to reducing tax incentives for American homebuyers.But most people will come away from this book believing it was money well spent.21.According to Dunn and Norton,which of the following is the most rewarding purchase?[A]A big house[B]A special tour[C]A stylish car[D]A rich meal22.The author’s attitude toward Americans’watching TV is.[A]critical[B]supportive[C]sympathetic[D]ambiguous23.Macrib is mentioned in paragraph3to show that.[A]consumers are sometimes irrational[B]popularity usually comes after quality[C]marketing tricks are often effective[D]rarity generally increases pleasure24.According to the last paragraph,Happy Money.[A]has left much room for readers’criticism[B]may prove to be a worthwhile purchase[C]has predicted a wider income gap in the US[D]may give its readers a sense of achievement25.This text mainly discusses how to.[A]balance feeling good and spending money[B]spend large sums of money won in lotteries[C]obtain lasting satisfaction from money spent[D]become more reasonable in spending on luxuriesText2An article in Scientific America has pointed out that empirical research says that,actually,you think you’re more beautiful than you are.We have a deep-seated need to feel good about ourselves and we naturally employ a number of self-enhancing strategies to achieve this.Social psychologists have amassed oceans of research into what they called the“above-average effect”,or“illusory superiority”,and shown that,for example,70%of us rate ourselves as above average in leadership, 93%in driving and85%at getting on well with others---all obviously statistical impossibilities.We rose-tint our memories and put ourselves into self-affirming situations.We become defensive when criticized,and apply negative stereotypes to others to boost our own esteem,we stalk around thinking we’re hot stuff.Psychologist and behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley oversaw a key study into self-enhancement and attractiveness.Rather than have people simply rate their beauty compared with others,he asked them to identify an original photograph of themselves from a line-up including versions that had been altered to appear more and less attractive.Visual recognition, reads the study,is“an automatic psychological process,occurring rapidly and intuitively with little or no apparent conscious deliberation”.If the subjects quickly chose a falsely flattering image---which must did---they genuinely believed it was really how they looked.Epley found no significant gender difference in responses.Nor was there any evidence that, those who self-enhance the most(that is,the participants who thought the most positively doctored picture were real)were doing so to make up for profound insecurities.In fact those who thought that the images higher up the attractiveness scale were real,directly corresponded with those who showed other makers for having higher self-esteem.“I don’t think the findings that we have are any evidence of personal delusion”,says Epley.“It’s a reflection simply of people generally thinking well of themselves”.If you are depressed,you won’t be self-enhancing.Knowing the results of Epley’s study,it makes sense that many people hate photographs of themselves so viscerally---on one level,they don’t even recognize the person in the picture as themselves.Facebook,therefore,is a self-enhancer’s paradise,where people can share only the most flattering photos,the cream of their wit,style,beauty,intellect and lifestyle.“It’s not that people’s profiles are dishonest,”says Catalina Toma of Wiscon-Madison University,“but they portray an idealized version of themselves.”26.According to the first paragraph,social psychologists have found that______.[A]our self-ratings are unrealistically high[B]illusory superiority is baseless effect[C]our need for leadership is unnatural[D]self-enhancing strategies are ineffective27.Visual recognition is believed to be people’s______[A]rapid watching[B]conscious choice[C]intuitive response[D]automatic self-defense28.Epley found that people with higher self-esteem tended to______[A]underestimate their insecurities[B]believe in their attractiveness[C]cover up their depressions[D]oversimplify their illusions29.The word“viscerally”（Line2,para.5）is closest in meaning to_____.[A]instinctively[B]occasionally[C]particularly[D]aggressively30.It can be inferred that Facebook is self-enhancer's paradise because people can_____.[A]present their dishonest profiles[B]define their traditional life styles[C]share their intellectual pursuits[D]withhold their unflattering sidesText3The concept of man versus machine is at least as old as the industrial revolution,but this phenomenon tends to be most acutely felt during economic downturns and fragile recoveries.And yet,it would be a mistake to think we are right now simply experiencing the painful side of a boom and bust cycle.Certain jobs have gone away for good,outmoded by machines.Since technology has such an insatiable appetite for eating up human jobs,this phenomenon will continue to restructure our economy in ways we can’t immediately foresee.When there is exponential improvement in the price and performance of technology,jobs that were once thought to be immune from automation suddenly become threatened.This argument has attracted a lot of attention,via the success of the book Race Argument the Machine,by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee,who both hail from MIT’s Center for Digital Business.This is a powerful argument,and a scary one.And yet,John Hagel,author of The Power of Pull and other books,says Brynjolfsson and McAfee miss the reason why these jobs are so vulnerable to technology in the first place.Hagel says we have designed jobs in the U.S that tend to be“tightly scripted”and“highly standardized”ones that leave no room for“individual initiative or creativity.”In short,these are the types of jobs that machines can perform much better at than human beings.That is how we have put a giant target sign on the backs of American workers,Hagel says.It’s time to reinvent the formula for how work is conducted,since we are still relying on a very20th century notion of work,Hagel says.In our rapidly changing economy,we more than everneed people in the workplace who can take initiative and exercise their imagination“to respond to unexpected events.”That’s not something machines are good at.They are designed to perform very predictable activities.As Hagel notes,Brynjolfsson and McAfee indeed touched on this point in their book.We need to reframe race against the machine as race with the machine.In other words,we need to look at the ways in which machine can augment human labor rather than replace it.So then the problem is not really about technology,but rather,“how do we innovate our institutions and our work practices?”31.According to the first paragraph,economic downturns would.[A]ease the competition of man vs.machine[B]highlight machines’threat to human jobs[C]provoke a painful technological revolution[D]outmode our current economic structure32.The authors of Race Against the Machine argue that.[A]technology is diminishing man’s job opportunities[B]automation is accelerating technological development[C]certain jobs will remain intact after automation[D]man will finally win the race against machine33.Hagel argues that jobs in the U.S are often.[A]performed by innovative minds[B]scripted with an individual style[C]standardized without a clear target[D]designed against human creativity34.According to the last paragraph,Brynjolfssonan Mcafee discussed.[A]the predictability of machine behavior in practice[B]the formula for how work is conducted efficiently[C]the ways machines replace human labor in modern times[D]the necessity of human involvement in the workplace35.Which of the following could be the most appropriate title for the text?[A]How to Innovate Our Work Practices[B]Machines will Replace Human Labor[C]Can We Win the Race Against Machines[D]Economic Downturns Stimulate InnovationsText4When the government talks about infrastructure contributing to the economy the focus is usually on roads,railways,broadband and energy.Housing is seldom mentioned.Why is that?To some extent the housing sector must shoulder the blame.We have not beengood at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth.Then there is the scale of the typical housing project.It is hard to shove for attention among multibillion-pound infrastructure project,so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere.But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.Nevertheless,the affordable housing situation is desperate.Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this.It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.There are some indications that it is preparing to do just that.The communities minister,Don Foster,has hinted that George Osborne,Chancellor of the Exchequer,may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt.Evidence shows that60,000extra new homes could be built over the next five years if the cap were lifted,increasing GDP by0.6%.Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment,which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.But it is not just down to the government.While these measures would be welcome in the short term,we must face up to the fact that the existing£4.5bn programme of grants to fund new affordable housing,set to expire in2015,is unlikely to be extended beyond then.The Labour party has recently announced that it will retain a large part of the coalition’s spending plans if it returns to power.The housing sector needs to accept that we are very unlikely to ever return to era of large-scale public grants.We need to adjust to this changing climate.36.The author believes that the housing sector.[A]has attracted much attention[B]involves certain political factors[C]shoulders too much responsibility[D]has lost its real value in economy37.It can be learned that affordable housing has.[A]increased its home supply[B]offered spending opportunities[C]suffered government biases[D]disappointed the government38.According to Paragraph5,George Osborne may_______.[A]allow greater government debt for housing[B]stop local authorities from building homes[C]prepare to reduce housing stock debt[D]release a lifted GDP growth forecast39.It can be inferred that a stable rental environment would.[A]lower the costs of registered providers[B]lessen the impact of government interference[C]contribute to funding new developments[D]relieve the ministers of responsibilities40.The author believes that after2015,the government may.[A]implement more policies to support housing[B]review the need for large-scale public grants[C]renew the affordable housing grants programme[D]stop generous funding to the housing sectorPart BDirections:Read the following text and match each of the numbered items in the left column to its corresponding information in the right column.There are two extra choices in the right column. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points)Emerging in the late Sixties and reaching a peak in the Seventies,Land Art was one of a range of new forms,including Body Art,Performance Art,Action Art and Installation Art,which pushed art beyond the traditional confines of the studio and gallery.Rather than portraying landscape,land artists used the physical substance of the land itself as their medium.The British land art,typified by Richard Long’s piece,was not only more domestically scaled, but a lot quirkier than its American counterpart.Indeed,while you might assume that an exhibition of Land Art would consist only of records of works rather than the works themselves,Long’s photograph of his work is the work.Since his“action”is in the past the photograph is its sole embodiment.That might seem rather an obscure point,but it sets the tone for an exhibition that contains a lot of black-and-white photographs and relatively few natural objects.Long is Britain’s best-known Land Artist and his Stone Circle,a perfect ring of purplish rocks from Portishead beach laid out on the gallery floor,represents the elegant,rarefied side of the form. The Boyle Family,on the other hand,stand for its dirty,urban prising artists Mark Boyle and Joan Hills and their children,they recreated random sections of the British landscape on gallery walls.Their Olaf Street Study,a square of brick-strewn waste ground,is one of the few works here to embrace the mundanity that characterizes most of our experience of the landscape most of the time.Parks feature,particularly in the earlier works,such as John Hilliard’s very funny Across the Park,in which a long-haired stroller is variously smiled at by a pretty girl and unwittingly assaulted in a sequence of images that turn out to be different parts of the same photograph.Generally however British land artists preferred to get away from towns,gravitating towards landscapes that are traditionally considered beautiful such as the Lake District or the WiltshireDowns.While it probably wasn’t apparent at the time,much of this work is permeated by a spirit of romantic escapism that the likes of Wordsworth would have readily understood.Derek Jarman’s yellow-tinted film Towards Avebury,a collection of long,mostly still shots of the Wiltshire landscape,evokes a tradition of English landscape painting stretching from Samuel Palmer to Paul Nash.In the case of Hamish Fulton,you can’t help feeling that the Scottish artist has simply found a way of making his love of walking pay.A typical work,such as Seven Days,consists of a single beautiful black-and-white photograph taken on an epic walk,with the mileage and number of days taken listed beneath.British Land Art as shown in this well selected,but relatively modestly scaled exhibition wasn’t about imposing on the landscape,more a kind of landscape-orientated light conceptual art created passing through.It had its origins in the great outdoors,but the results were as gallery-bound as the paintings of Turner and Constable.[A]originates from a long walk that the artist took41.Stone Circle[B]illustrates a kind of landscape-orientated light conceptual art42.Olaf Street Study[C]reminds people of the English landscape painting tradition.43.Across the Park[D]represents the elegance of the British land art44.Towards Avebury[E]depicts the ordinary side of the British land art45.Seven days[F]embodies a romantic escape into the Scottish outdoors[G]contains images from different parts of the same photograph. Section III Translation46.Directions:In this section there is a passage in English.Translate the following passage into Chinese and write your translation on ANSWER SHEET2.(15points)Most people would define optimism as endlessly happy,with a glass that’s perpetually half fall. But that’s exactly the kind of false deerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend.“Healthy optimists means being in touch with reality.”says Tal Ben-Shahar,a Harvard professor, According to Ben-Shalar,realistic optimists are these who make the best of things that happen,but not those who believe everything happens for the best.Ben-Shalar uses three optimistic exercisers.When he feels down-sag,after giving a bad lecture-he grants himself permission to be human.He reminds himself that mot every lecture can be a Nobel winner;some will be less effective than others.Next is reconstruction,He analyzes the weak lecture,leaning lessons,for the future about what works and what doesn’t.Finally,there is perspective,which involves acknowledging that in the ground scheme of life,one lecture really doesn’t matter.Section IV WritingPart ADirections:Suppose you are going to study abroad and share an apartment with John,a local student.Write him to email to1）tell him about your living habits,and2）ask for advice about living there.You should write about100words on answer sheet.Do not use your own e“Li Ming”instead.Do not writ your address.(10points)Part BDirections:Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET.（15points）You should1.Interpret the chart,and2.Give your comments.You should write about150words on the ANSWER SHEET.（15points）2014 年 MBA 全国考试英语真题答案11—15：A BCDB16—20：DADCB 1—5：BACAD 6—10：ACCDB 21—25：BADBC 26—30：ACBAD31—35：BADDC 36—40：B CACD 41—45：DEGCA一46.大多数人愿意把乐观定义为无尽的欢乐，总觉得杯子里的水还有半。

unfinished statements.For each of them there are 4choices marked A,B,C,and D.Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.Passage OneAmerica is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real,yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this.Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two,perhaps a few letters for a while —then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance,even years later,they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand,because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings,extending sometimes deeply into both families.Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes,share their holidays,and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality easily.Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives,they don ’t show their politeness to us if it太奇无锡分校网址 5requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes,we,as hosts,will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans,however,express their welcome usually at homes,but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes,the welcome will be full,warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.For the Americans,it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants,except for purely business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!31.The writer of this passage must be ______.A.an AmericanB.a ChineseC.a professorD.a student32.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B.Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C.Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D.Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.33.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend,we will probably be ______.A.warmly welcomed at the airportB.offered a ride to his homeC.treated hospitably at his homeD.treated to dinner in a restaurant34.The underlined words “generous with our time ”in Paragraph 3probably mean ______.A.strict with timeB.serious with timeC.careful with timeD.willing to spend time35.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.A.Friendships between ChineseB.Friendships between AmericansC.Americans’hospitalityD.Americans’and Chinese’s views of friendships Passage TwoThe appeal of advertising to buying motives can have both negative and positive effects.Consumers may be convinced to buy a product of poor quality or high price because of an advertisement.For example,some advertisers have appealed to people’s desire for better fuel economy for their cars by advertising automotive products that improve gasoline mileage.Some of the products work.Others are worthless and a waste of consumers’money.Sometimes advertising is intentionally misleading.A few years ago a brand of bread was offer to dieters （节食者）with the message that there were fewer calories （热量单位，大卡）in every slice.It turned out that the bread was not dietetic （适合于节食的）,but just regular bread.There were fewer calories because it was sliced very thin,but there were the same number of calories in every loaf.On the positive side,emotional appeals may respond to a consumer’s real concerns.Consider fire insurance.Fire insurance may be sold by appealing to fear of loss.But fear of loss太奇无锡分校网址 6is the real reason for fire insurance.The security of knowing that property is protected by insurance makes the purchase of fire insurance a worthwhile investment for most people.If consumers consider the quality of the insurance plans as well as the message in the ads,they will benefit from the advertising.Each consumer must evaluate her or his own situation.Are the benefits of the product important enough to justify buying it?Advertising is intended to appeal to consumers,but it does not force them to buy the product.Consumers still control the final buying decision.36.Advertising can persuade the consumer to buy worthless products by _________.A stressing their high qualityB convincing him of their low priceC maintaining a balance between quality and priceD appealing to his buying motives37.The reason why the bread advertisement is misleading is that ________.A thin

put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide.Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Or,job searchers can look in the newspaper.Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet.For example,people in four hundred太奇无锡分校网址 7and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects,meet people or find a job.Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university.For example,students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job.Of course,looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do.For example,there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute (降落伞)?”by Richard Bolles.This book has been helping people choose a career since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs.Susan ler owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles.She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand

FourEnglish is the most widely used language in the history of our planet.One in every seven human beings can speak it.More than half of the world’s books and three quarters of international mail are in English.Of all languages,English has the largest vocabulary —perhaps as many as two million words.However,let’s face it:English is a crazy language.There is no egg in an eggplant,neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger.Sweet-meats are candy,while sweetbreads,which aren’t sweet,are meat.We take English for granted.But when we explore its paradoxes,we find that quicksand can work slowly,boxing rings are square,public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes,but fingers don’t fing,grocers don’t groce,and hammers don’t ham?If the plural of tooth is teeth,shouldn’t the plural of booth be beeth?One goose,two geese —so one moose,two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same,while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?How can overlook and oversee be opposites,while quite a lot and quite太奇无锡分校网址 8a few are alike?How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people,not computers,and it reflects (反映)the creativity of human beings.That’s why,when stars are out,they are visible (能看见的);but when the lights are out,they are invisible.And why,when I wind up my watch,I start it;but when I wind up this essay,I end it.46.According to the passage ______.A.sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB.there should be egg in an eggplantC.pineapples are the apples on
