We all have different types of stress signals,but individuals should monitor themselves for stress signals,so that they can focus on minimizing or acknowledging the stress before it gets out of control.And common early signs for many people include irritability,insomnia,weight loss or even weight gain,smoking,drinking,increases in small errors,all kinds of things that people get which could be an early signal of stress.You can consider ways to protect yourself when you start seeing these signs coming on.So you might decide to withdraw from a stressful situation or reward yourself with equal amounts of low stress activity time.That’s really the first important way to deal with stress appropriately.The second important way to deal with stress is to pay attention to your body’s demands.Most psychologists are finding that a good exercise program,good nutrition,decreases the amount of stress,or the effect of stress on the body or in the mind.And this seems quite apparent because exercise can provide a stress-free environment away from your usual stresses and it keeps your body busy and preoccupied with non-stressful things.OK,the third thing to reduce stress is to make plans and act when appropriate.What is suggested is that rather than wasting energy on worrying,an individual can direct his or her energy to plan the steps and act.And often,just the planning of the action helps to reduce the stress,because it reduces the worrying.And also the results of the plans or action may serve to remove or weaken the original cause of the stress.Please notice that I just now said“when appropriate”.And this next suggestion has to do with that idea of when appropriate.The third suggestion was to make plans and act when appropriate,rather than just sit around and worry.But the fourth plan,or fourth idea,says to learn to accept situations which are out of your control.These two then go hand in hand.You can make plans and act when it’s appropriate,but when it’s not appropriate,or when it’s impossible,the only way is to learn to accept that some things are unchangeable and out of your hands.So,for example,if you are in traffic,lateness caused by traffic is out of your hands.There’s no sense in getting really crazy about that.If you do so,it only increases your stress to waste energy trying to resist what’s inevitable or what can’t be avoided.The last item that psychologistssuggest is to pace your activities.By“pace”,I mean giving yourself some manageable tasks to do at a reasonable speed.That is,you go at a speed that you can handle,break your task into manageable parts,rather than try to deal with the whole task all at once.So,as an example in your lives as students,a whole term paper might feel overwhelming.But if you say to yourself,today I’m going to the library and gather resources,tomorrow,I’m going to read three articles,and so on,you’ll have broken this one large task,that’s writing a term paper,down into many smaller and more manageable tasks.This will certainly reduce your stress.Ok.Having said all these,I want you to remember that the problem is not in the stressful experiences themselves.We all experience stress and stressful events.The problem is in our reactions to these experiences.And each of us has our own limits for stress and our own ways of coping with stress.So long as we have our own appropriate ways,stress or stressful situations can certainly be dealt with.Ok.That’s all for today’s lecture.See you next week.16.Why should individuals monitor themselves for stress signals?(重复居多正确原则)17.What is the first important way to deal with stress properly?(注意同义替换)18.What does the psychologist mean by“pacing the activities”?(所听所得原则)第二篇(音频2):(201813.51-17.50)Questions16to18are based on the recording you have just heard.16.A)About half of current jobs might be automated.B)The jobs of doctors and lawyers would be threatened.C)The job market is becoming somewhat unpredictable.D)Machine learning would prove disruptive by2013.17.A)They are widely applicable for massive open online courses.B)They are now being used by numerous high school teachers.C)They could read as many as10,000essays in a single minute.D)They could grade high-school essays just like human teacher.18.A)It needs instructions throughout the process.B)It does poorly on frequent,high-volume tasks.C)It has to rely on huge amounts of previous data.D)It is slow when it comes to tracking novel things.Section C Recording One听力原文:Here is my baby niece Sarah.Her mum is a doctor and her dad is a lawyer.By the time Sarah goes to college,the jobs her parents do are going to look dramatically different.In2013,researchers at Oxford University did a study on the future of work.[16]They concluded that almost one in every two jobs has a high risk of being automated by machines.Machine learning is the technology that’s responsible for most of this disruption.It’s the most powerful branch of artificial intelligence.It allows machines to learn from data and copy some of the things that humans can do.My company,Kaggle,operates on the cutting edge of machine learning.We bring together hundreds of thousands of experts to solve important problems for industry and academia.This gives us a unique perspective on what machines can do,what they can’t do and what jobs they might automate or threaten.Machine learning started making its way into industry in the early90s. It started with relatively simple tasks.It started with things like assessing credit risk from loan applications,sorting the mail by reading handwritten zip codes.Over the past few years,we have made dramatic breakthroughs.Machine learning is now capable of far,far more complex tasks.In2012,Kaggle challenged its community to build a program that could grade high-school essays.[17]The winning programs were able to match the grades given by human teachers.Now,given the right data,machines are going to outperform humans at tasks like this.A teacher might read10,000essays over a40-year career.A machine can read millions of essays within minutes.We have no chance of competing against machines on frequent high-volume tasks,but there are things we can do that machines cannot.Where machines have made very little progress is in tackling novel situations.Machines can’t handle things they haven’t seen many times before.[18]The fundamental limitation of machine learning is that it needs to learn from large volumes of past data.But humans don’t.We have the ability to connect seemingly different threads to solve problems we’ve never seen before.16.What did the researchers at Oxford University conclude?17.What do we learn about Kaggle company’s winning programs?18.What is the fundamental limitation on machine learning?第三篇(音频3)Questions19to21are based on the recording you have just heard.(注意:当很难听懂时,根据已知中心猜测答案)19.A)The engineering problems with solar power.B)The generation of steam with the latest technology.C)The importance of exploring new energy sources.D)The theoretical aspects of sustainable energy.20.A)Drive trains with solar energy.B)Upgrade the city’s train facilities.C)Build a new ten-kilometer railway line.D)Cut down the city’s energy consumption.21.A)Build a tank for keeping calcium oxide.B)Find a new material for storing energy.C)Recover super-heated steam.D)Collect carbon dioxide gas.Recording Two听力原文:We’ve talked recently about the importance of sustainable energy.[19]We’ve also talked about the different theories on how that can be done.So far,our discussions have all been theoretical.Now I have a practical question for you all.Can you run a140,000-kilogram train on just the steam generated by solar power?Well,one engineer,Tim Kasselman,believes it’s possible. And his home city of Sacramento,California should see the technology’s first test.As part of the upgrading of its rail yard,Kasselman,who is an inventor and self-proclaimed“steam visionary’’,is campaigning for a new steam train that runs without any fire and could run on an existing ten-kilometer line,driving tourists and perhaps offering city commuters a green alternative to their cars.[20]Kasselman wants to build an array of solar magnifying mirrors at one end of the line to collect and focus heat onto water-filled tubes.This would generate steam that could be used to fill tanks on a small steam train without the use of fire.“Supplying power to trains in this way would offer the shortest distance from well to wheels,”he says,“with the least amount of energy lost.”According to Harry Vallentine,a Canadian engineer who is researching modem steam technology,a special tank measuring2by10metres could store over750kilowatt hours of energy as high pressure steam,enough to pull a two-cart train for an hour or so.Energy to drive a steam locomotive can be stored in other materials besides water.[21]For example,a team at Tohoku University in Japan has studied materials that can store large amounts of heat.When heated,these materials turn from a solid into a liquid,absorbing energy as they change phase.The liquid is maintained above its melting point until steam is required,at which point the liquid is allowed to turn back into a solid,releasing its stored energy.Another team at Nagoya University in Japan has tested calcium compound as an energy storage material.Heating this chemical compound drives off carbon dioxide gas,leaving calcium oxide.The gas can be stored under pressure in a tank.To recover the energy,the gas is fed back over the calcium oxide.“In theory,’’says Vallentine,“this can create a high enough temperature to generate super-heated steam.”19.What has the speaker previously talked about?20.What is Tim Kasselman trying to do in Sacramento?21.What has a Japanese research team tried to do?第四篇(音频4)Questions22to25are based on the recording you have just heard.22.A)The lack of supervision by both the nation and local government.B)The impact of the current economic crisis at home and abroad.C)The poor management of day centers and home help services.D)The poor relation between national health and social care services.23.A)It was mainly provided by voluntary services.B)It mainly caters to the need of the privileged.C)It called for a sufficient number of volunteers.D)It has deteriorated over the past sixty years.24.A)Their longer lifespans.B)Fewer home helpers available.C)Their preference for private services.D)More of them suffering serious illness.25.A)They are unable to pay for health services.B)They have long been discriminated against.C)They are vulnerable to illness and diseases.D)They have contributed a great deal to society.Recording Three听力原文:Today’s crisis in care for older people in England has two main causes.First,people are living longer with a lot more complex needs.[22]Second,they rely on a system that has long been marked by a poor relation between national health and social care services.Current services originate in two key measures.They are the National Health Service and the 1948National Assistance Act.This required local governments to provide residential accommodation for older people and supervise care homes run by independent organizations.They also provided home and community services including meals,day centers and home helpers and other subsidized services.The National Health Service was free and wholly publicly provided.It delivered the best health care for all.No such vision guided residential and community care though.[23]The care was substantially provided by voluntary services,which worked together with local authorities as they long had with eligibility based on income.Today,life expectancy has risen from66for a male at birth in1948to around80now.In addition,there is better overall health and improved medical knowledge and care.This means an unprecedentednumber of people are surviving longer in conditions requiring expert support.Families provide at least as much care as they ever did.Even so,they can rarely without subsidized support address serious personal needs.Care for older people faced persistent criticism as these trends became apparent.From the early1960s,local authorities were required to plan health and welfare services. The aim was to enable older people to remain in their own homes for as long as possible,but this increased concern about the lack of coordination between free health and paid-for social care. Through the1970s,a number of measures sought to improve matters.However,at a time of financial crisis,funding diminished and little changed.[24]In the1980s,the government cut spending.Meanwhile,preference for private over public services made management even more difficult.Simultaneously,the number of sick older people ernments emphasized the need to improve services.They did so though while doing little to stop the erosion of available aid. Services were irregular across authorities.Unless you were prepared to pay,they were increasingly difficult to obtain for any but the most severely disabled.Why has60years of criticism produced so little change?[25]Discrimination against older people has a long history.Additionally,those affected by inadequate health and social care are too vulnerable to launch the protests that have addressed other forms of discrimination.22.What is one cause of the current crisis in care for the elderly in England?23.What does the speaker say about residential and community care?24.What made management of care for the elderly more difficult in the1980s?25.What does the speaker say about older people in England?第三章长对话总策略:真题演练第一篇:(音频5:0-3.45秒)Questions1to4are based on the conversation you have just heard.1.A)It can benefit professionals and non-professionals alike.B)It lists the various challenges physicists are confronting.C)It describes how some mysteries of physics were solved.D)It is one of the most fascinating physics books ever written.2.A)Physicists’contribution to humanity.B)Stories about some female physicists.C)Historical evolution of modem physics.D)Women‘s changing attitudes to physics.3.A)By exposing a lot of myths in physics.B)By describing her own life experiences.C)By including lots of fascinating knowledge.D)By telling anecdotes about famous professors.4.A)It avoids detailing abstract concepts of physics.B)It contains a lot of thought-provoking questions.C)It demonstrates how they can become physicists.D)It provides experiments they can do themselves.听力原文:M:Hey,I just read a great book about physics.I think you’d like it.It’s called The Physics of the World.It’s written by a scientist named Sylvia Mendez.W:Oh,I read that book.It was great.The writer is a warm and competent guide to the mysteries of physics.[1]I think it promises enrichment for any reader from those who know little about science to the career physicist.M:And it’s refreshing to see a strong,curious,clever woman adding her voice to the scientific discourse and a field that has been traditionally dominated by man.[2]I think she is to be commended for making an effort to include anecdotes about little known female scientists.You know,they were often victims of a generation firmly convinced that the woman’s place was in the home.W:[3]I like how the book is clearly written with each chapter brought to life by pieces of fascinating knowledge.For example,in one chapter she exposes a myth that I’ve heard taught by university physics professors.I’ve often heard that medieval glass windows are thicker at the bottom because glass flows like a fluid.This,she shows,is not true.The distortion is actually thanks to a peculiarity of the glassmakers’process.M:[4]Yeah,I like how she cultivates scientific engagement by providing a host of“Do It Yourself’experiments that bring the same foundational principles of classical physics that govern everything from the solar system to your kitchen table,from using complex laws of physics to test whether a spinning egg is cooked to measuring atmospheric pressure by lifting a piece of cardboard. Her hands-on examples make her book a truly interactive read.W:Yes,I must say this equation-free book is an ideal read for scientists of all stripes,anyone teaching science and even people who dislike physics.1.What does the woman say about the book the man recommended?2.What can we find in the book the man recom-mended?3.How does the author bring her book to life?4.How does the book cultivate readers’interest in physics?真题演练第二篇(音频6:3.45-7分0秒)Questions5to8are based on the conversation you have just heard.5.A)He is too busy to finish his assignment in time.B)He does not know what kind of topic to write on.C)He does not understand the professor’s instructions.D)He has no idea how to proceed with his dissertation.6.A)It is too broad.B)It is outdated.C)It is challenging.D)It is interesting.7.A)Biography.B)Nature.C)Photography.D)Beauty.8.A)Improve his cumulative grade.B)Develop his reading ability.C)Stick to the topic assigned.D)List the parameters first.听力原文:M:Hi,professor.I was hoping I could have a moment of your time if you’re not too busy.[5] I’m having some problems getting started on my dissertation and I was hoping you could give me some advice on how to begin.W:Sure,I have quite a few students though.So can you remind me what your topic is?M:The general topic I chose is aesthetics,but that’s as far as I’ve got.I don’t really know where to go from there.W:Yeah,[6]that’s much too large a topic.You really need to narrow it down in order to make it more accessible.Otherwise,you’ll be writing a book.M:Exactly.That’s what I wanted to ask you about.I was hoping it would be possible for me to change topics.[7]I’m really more interested in nature than beauty.W:[8]I’m afraid you have to adhere to the assigned topic.Still,if you’re interested in nature,then that certainly can be worked into your dissertation.We’ve talked about Hume before in class,right?M:Oh,yeah,he’s the philosopher who wrote about where our ideas of beauty come from.W:Exactly.I suggest you go to the library and get a copy of his biography.Start from there,but remember to stick to the parameters of the assignment.This paper is a large part of your cumulative grade,so make sure to follow the instructions.If you take a look at his biography,you can get a good idea of how his life experiences manifest themselves in his theories of beauty,specifically,the way he looked towards nature as the origin of what we find beautiful.M:Great.Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions,professor.I’ll let you get back to class now.W:If there’s anything else you need,please come see me in my office any time.5.What is the man’s problem?6.What does the professor think of the man’s topic?7.What is the man really more interested in?8.What does the professor say the man has to do?真题练习第四篇(音频7)19.A)A notice by the electricity boardB)Ads promoting electric appliancesC)The description of a thief in disguiseD)A new policy on pensioners’welfare总结:20.A)Speaking with a proper accentB)Wearing an official uniformC)Making friends with themD)Showing them his ID总结:21.A)To be on the alert when being followedB)Not to leave senior citizens alone at homeC)Not to let anyone in without an appointmentD)To watch out for those from the electricity board总结:22.A)She was robbed near the parking lotB)All her money in the bank disappearedC)The pension she had just drawn was stolenD)She was knocked down in the post office总结:19.what does the woman want the man to read in the newspaper?20.How did the man mentioned in the newspaper try to win further trust from the victims?21.what is the warning form the police?22.what does the woman speaker tell us about the old lady第四章短文听力短文总策略:真题演练第一篇(音频8;2018.7分-10分22)Questions9to11are based on the passage you have just heard.9.A)The unprecedented high temperature in Greenland.B)The collapse of ice on the northern tip of Greenland.C)The unusual cold spell in the Arctic area in October.D)The rapid change of Arctic temperature within a day.10.A)It has created a totally new climate pattern.B)It will pose a serious threat to many species.C)It typically appears about once every ten years.D)It has puzzled the climate scientists for decades.11.A)Extinction of Arctic wildlife.B)Ice less summers in the Arctic.C)Emigration of indigenous people.D)Better understanding of ecosystems.During the Arctic winter from October to March,the average temperature in the frozen north typically hovers around minus20degrees Celsius.But this year,the Arctic is experiencing much higher temperatures.[9]On February20,temperature in Greenland climbed above freezing or zero degree Celsius and it stayed there for over24hours.Then on February24,the temperature on Greenland’s northern tip reached six degrees Celsius.Climate scientists describe the phenomenon as stunning.[10]Weather conditions that drive this bizarre temperature surge have visited the Arctic before. They typically appear about once in a decade.However,the last such increase in temperature took place two years ago.This is troubling as climbing Arctic temperatures combined with rapid sea ice loss are creating a new type of climate feedback loop,which could accelerate Arctic warming.Indeed,sea ice cover in the Arctic is melting faster than expected.Without those masses of cooling sea ice,warm air brought to the Arctic can penetrate further inland than it ever did before. The air can stay warmer,longer too.This drives additional melting.Overall,earth is warming at a rapid pace.2014through2017rank as the hottest years on record and the Arctic is warming twice as fast as any place else on earth.This raises unique challenges for Arctic wildlife and indigenous people,who depend on Arctic ecosystems to survive. Previously,climate forecasts predicted that Arctic summer ice would disappear entirely by around 2060,[11]but based on what scientists are seeing now,the Arctic may be facing summers without ice within20years.9.What did climate scientists describe as stunning?10.What does the passage say about the temperature surge in the Arctic?11.What may occur in20years according to scientists’recent observations?真题演练第二篇(音频9.7分-10分22)Questions12to15are based on the passage you have just heard.12.A)A good start.B)A detailed plan.C)A strong determination.D)A scientific approach.13.A)Most people get energized after a sufficient rest.B)Most people tend to have finite source of energy.C)It is vital to take breaks between demanding mental tasks.D)It is most important to have confidence in one’s willpower.14.A)They could keep on working longer.B)They could do more challenging tasks.C)They found it easier to focus on work at hand.D)They held more positive attitudes toward life.15.A)They are part of their nature.B)They are subject to change.C)They are related to culture.D)They are beyond control.听力原文:[12]A good dose of willpower is often necessary to see any task through,whether it,s sticking to a spending plan or finishing a great novel.And if you want to increase that willpower,a new study suggests,you just simply have to believe you have it.[13]According to the study,what matters most is what we think about our willpower.If we believe it’s a finite resource,we act that。

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passagethrough carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter.Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.Let ’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can ’t seem to keep their inner monologues( 独 白 ) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain 26 better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology by professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to 27 mental pictures helps people function quicker. In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty 28 and asked them to find just one of those, a banana. Half were 29 to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips 30 . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn ’t ,the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that 31 the name of a common product when on the hun t for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve 32 matured is not a great sign of 33 . The two professors hope to refute that idea, 34 that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”.Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any 35 , there’s still such a thing as too much information.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Eachstatement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph fromwhich the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.Eachparagraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet 2.Rich Children and Poor Ones Are Raised Very Differently[A] The lives of children from rich and poor American families look more different than ever before.[B] Well-off families are ruled by calendars, with children enrolled in ballet, soccer and after-school programs, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. There are usually two parents, who spend a lot A) Apparently B) Arrogance C) Brilliance D) Claiming E) Dedicated F) Focused G) Incur H) Instructed I) ObscurelyJ) SealedK) spectatorsL) TriggerM) UtteringN) VolumeO) Volunteersof time reading to children and worrying about their anxiety levels and hectic schedules.[C]In poor families, meanwhile, children tend to spend their time at home or with extended family. They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoods that their parents say aren’t great for raising children, and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up or in trouble with the law.[D]The class differences in child rearing are growing — a symptom of widening inequality withfar-reaching consequences. Different upbringings set children on different paths and can deepen socioeconomic divisions, especially because education is strongly linked to earnings. Children grow uplearning the skills to succeed in their socioeconomic stratum (阶层), but not necessarily others.[E]“Early childhood experiences can be very consequential for children’s long-term social, emotional and cognitive development,” said Sean Reardon, professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford Universi ty. “And because those influence educational success and later earnings, early childhood experiences cast a lifelong shadow.” The cycle continues: Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children, which can leave children less prepared for school and work, which leads to lower earnings.[F]American parents want similar things for their children, the Pew report and past research have found: for them to be healthy and happy, honest and ethical, caring and compassionate. There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say, and across income groups, 92% of parents say they are doing a good job at raising their children. Yet they are doing it quite differently. Middle-class and higher- income parents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, whose groundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life. They try to develop their skills through close supervision and organized activities, and teach children to question authority figures and navigate elite i nstitutions.[G]Working-class parents, meanwhile, believe their children will naturally thrive, and give them far greater independence and time for free play. They are taught to be compliant and respectful to adults. There are benefits to both approaches. Working-class children are happier, more independent, complain less and are closer with family members, Ms. Lareau found. Higher-income children are more likely to declare boredom and expect their parents to solve their problems. Yet later on, the more affluent children end up in college and on the way to the middle class, while working-class children tend to struggle. Children from higher-income families are likely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces, Ms. Lareau said.[H]“Do all parents want the most success for their children? Absolutely,” she said. “Do some strategies give children more advantages than others in institutions? Probably they do. Will parents be damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity? No, I really doubt i t.”[I]Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents have less money to spend on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events. Extracurricular activities reflect the differences in child rearing in the Pew survey, which was of a nationally representative sample of 1,807 parents. Of families earning more than $75,000 a year, 84% say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year, 64% have done volunteer work and 62% have taken lessons in music, dance or art. Of families earning less than $30,000, 59% of children have done sports, 37% have volunteered and 41% have taken arts classes.[J]Especially in affluent families, children start young. Nearly half of high-earning, college-graduate parents enrolled their children in arts classes before they were 5, compared with one-fifth of low-income, less- educated parents. Nonetheless, 20% of well-off parents say their children’s schedules are too hectic, compared with 8% of poorer parents.[K]Another example is reading aloud, which studies have shown gives children bigger vocabularies and better reading comprehension in school. 71% of parents with a college degree say they do it every day, compared with 33% of those with a high school diploma or less. White parents are more likely than others to read to their children daily, as are married parents. Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschool or day care, while low-income parents are more likely to depend on family members. Discipline techniques vary by education level: 8% of those with a postgraduate degree say they often beat their children, compared with 22% of those with a high school degree or less.[L]The survey also probed attitudes and anxieties. Interestingly, parents’ attitudes toward education do not seem to reflect their own educational background as much as a belief in the importance of education for upward mobility. Most American parents say they are not concerned about their ch ildren’s grades as long as they work hard. But 50% of poor parents say it is extremely important to them that their children earn a college degree, compared with 39% of wealthier parents.[M]Less-educated parents, and poorer and black and Latino parents are more likely to believe that there is no such thing as too much involvement in a child’s education. Parents who are white, wealthy or college- educated say too much involvement can be bad. Parental anxieties reflect their circumstances. High- earning parents are much more likely to say they live in a good neighborhood for raising children. While bullying is parents’ greatest concern over all, nearly half of low-income parents worry their child will get shot, compared with one-fifth of high-income parents. They are more worried about their children being depressed or anxious.[N]In the Pew survey, middle-class families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 a year fell right between working-class and high-earning parents on issues like the quality of their neighborhood for raising children, participation in extracurricular activities and involvement in their children’ s education.[O]Children were not always raised so differently. The achievement gap between children from high- and low-income families is 30-40% larger among children born in 2001 than those born 25 years earlier, according to Mr. Reardon’ s research. People used to live near people of different income levels; neighborhoods are now more segregated by income. More than a quarter of children live in single-parent households — a historic high, according to Pew 一and these children are three times as likely to live in poverty as those who live with married parents. Meanwhile, growing income inequality has coincided with the increasing importance of a college degree for earning a middle-class w age.[P]Yet there are recent signs that the gap could be starting to shrink. In the past decade, even as income inequality has grown, some of the socioeconomic differences in parenting, like reading to children and going to libraries, have narrowed.[Q]Public policies aimed at young children have helped, including public preschool programs and reading initiatives. Addressing differences in the earliest years, it seems, could reduce inequality in the next generation.36.Working-class parents teach their children to be obedient and show respect to adults.37.American parents, whether rich or poor, have similar expectations of their children despite different ways of parenting.38.While rich parents are more concerned with their children’s psychological well-being, poor parents are more worried about their children’s safety.39.The increasing differences in child rearing between rich and poor families reflect growing social inequality.40.Parenting approaches of working-class and affluent families both have a dvantages.41.Higher-income families and working-class families now tend to live in different neighborhoods.42.Physical punishment is used much less by well-educated parents.43.Ms. Lareau doesn’t believe participating in fewer after-class activities will negatively affect children’s development.44.Wealthy parents are concerned about their children’s mental health and busy schedules.45.Some socioeconomic differences in child rearing have shrunk in the p ast ten years.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Youshould decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with asingle line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Tennessee’s technical and community colleges will not outsource(外包) management of their facilities to a private company, a decision one leader said was bolstered by an analysis of spending at each campus.In an email sent Monday to college presidents in the Tennessee Board of Regents system, outgoing Chancellor John Morgan said an internal analysis showed that each campus’ spending on facilities management fell well below the industry standards identified by the state. Morgan said those findings —which included data from the system’s 13 community colleges, 27 technical colleges and six universities —were part of the decision not to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam’s proposal to privatize management of state buildings in an effort to save money.“While these numbers are still being validated by the state, we feel any adjustments they might suggest will be immaterial,” Morgan wrote to the presidents. “System institutions are operating very efficiently based on this analysis, raising the question of the value of pursuing a broad scale outsourcing initiative.”Worker’s advocates have criticized Haslam’s plan, saying it would mean some campus workers would lose their jobs or benefits. Haslam has said colleges would be free to opt in or out of the out souring plan, which has not been finalized.Morgan notified the Haslam administration of his decision to opt out in a letter sent last week. That letter, which includes several concerns Morgan has with the plan, was originally obtained by The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.In an email statement from the state’s Office of Customer Focused Government, which is examining the possibility of outsourcing, spokeswoman Michelle R. Martin said officials were still working to analyze the data from the Board of Regents. Data on management expenses at the college system and in other state departments will be part of a “business justification” the state will use as officials deliberate the specifics of an outsourcing plan.“The state’s facilities managem ent project team is still in the process of developing its business justification and expects to have that completed and available to the public at the end of February,” Martin said. “At this time there is nothing to take action on since the analysis has yet to be completed.”Morgan’s comments on outsourcing mark the second time this month that he has come out against one of Haslam’s plans for higher education in Tennessee. Morgan said last week that he would retire at the end of January because of the gove rnor’s proposal to split off six universities of the Board of Regents system and create separate governing boards for each of them. In his resignation letter, Morgan called the reorganization “unworkable”.46.What do we learn about the decision of technical and community colleges in Tennessee?A)It is backed by a campus spending analysis.B)It has been flatly rejected by the governor.C)It has neglected their faculty’s demands.D )It will improve their financial situation.47.What does the campus spending analysis reveal?A)Private companies play a big role in campus management.B)Facilities management by colleges is more c ost-effective.C)Facilities management has greatly improved in recent years.D)Colleges exercise foil control over their own financial a ffairs.48.Workers’ supporters argue that Bill Haslam’s proposal would .A)deprive colleges of the right to manage their facilitiesB)make workers less motivated in performing dutiesC)render a number of campus workers joblessD)lead to the privatization of campus facilities49.What do we learn from the state spokeswoman’s response to John Morgan’s d ecision?A)The outsourcing plan is not yet finalized.B)The outsourcing plan will be implemented.C)The state officials are confident about the outsourcing plan.D)The college spending analysis justifies the outsourcing plan.50.Why did John Morgan decide to resign?A)He had lost confidence in the Tennessee state government.B)He disagreed with the governor on higher education policies.C)He thought the state’s outsourcing proposal was simply unworkable.D)He opposed the governor’s plan to reconstruct the college board system.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Beginning in the late sixteenth century, it became fashionable for young aristocrats to visit Paris,Venice, Florence, and above all, Rome, as the culmination(终极) of their classical education. Thus wasborn the idea of the Grand Tour, a practice which introduced Englishmen, Germans, Scandinavians, and also Americans to the art and culture of France and Italy for the next 300 years. Travel was arduous and costly throughout the period, possible only for a privileged class—the same that produced gentlemen scientists, authors, antique experts, and patrons of the arts.The Grand Tourist was typically a young man with a thorough grounding in Greek and Latin literature as well as some leisure time, some means, and some interest in art. The German traveler Johann Winckelmann pioneered the field of art history with his comprehensive study of Greek and Roman sculpture; he was portrayed by his friend Anton Raphael Mengs at the beginning of his long residence in Rome. Most Grand Tourists, however, stayed for briefer periods and set out with less scholarly intentions, accompanied by a teacher or guardian, and expected to return home with souvenirs of their travels as well as an understanding of art and architecture formed by exposure to great masterpieces.London was a frequent starting point for Grand Tourists, and Paris a compulsory destination; many traveled to the Netherlands, some to Switzerland and Germany, and a very few adventurers to Spain, Greece, or Turkey. The essential place to visit, however, was Italy. The British traveler Charles Thompsonspoke for many Grand Tourists when in 1744 he described himself as “being impatiently desirous of viewing a country so famous in history, a country which once gave laws to the world, and which is at present the greatest school of music and painting, contains the noblest productions of sculpture and architecture, and is filled with cabinets of rarities, and collections of all kinds of historical relics”. Within Italy, the great focus was Rome, whose ancient ruins and more recent achievements were shown to every Grand Tourist. Panini’s Ancient Rome and Modem Rome represent the sights most prized, including celebrated Greco-Roman statues and views of famous ruins, fountains, and churches. Since there were few museums anywhere in Europe before the close of the eighteenth century, Grand Tourists often saw paintings and sculptures by gaining admission to private collections, and many were eager to acquire examples of Greco-Roman and Italian art for their own collections. In England, where architecture was increasingly seen as an aristocratic pursuit, noblemen often applied what they learned from the villas of Palladio in the Veneto and the evocative ( 唤起回忆的) ruins of Rome to their own country houses and gardens.51.What is said about the Grand Tour?A)It was fashionable among young people of the time.B)It was unaffordable for ordinary people.C)It produced some famous European artists.D)It made a compulsory part of college education.52.What did Grand Tourists have in common?A)They had much geographic knowledge.B)They were courageous and venturesome.C)They were versed in literature and interested in art.D)They had enough travel and outdoor-life experience.53.How did Grand Tourists benefit from their travel?A)They found inspiration in the world’s greatest masterpieces.B)They got a better understanding of early human civilization.C)They developed an interest in the origin of modem art forms.D)They gained some knowledge of classical art and architecture.54.Why did many Grand Tourists visit the private collections?A)They could buy unique souvenirs there to take back home.B)Europe hardly had any museums before the 19th century.C)They found the antiques there more valuable.D)Private collections were of greater variety.55.How did the Grand Tour influence the architecture in England?A)There appeared more and more Roman-style buildings.B)Many aristocrats began to move into Roman-style villas.C)Aristocrats,country houses all had Roman-style gardens.D) Italian architects were hired to design houses and gardens.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese intoEnglish. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.唐朝始于618 年,终于907 年,是中国历史上最灿烂的时期。

英语六级阅读讲义

大学英语六级阅读讲义第一部分(补充阅读)Text 1Aristotle wrote that men come together in cities to live, but stay in them to live the good life. It was the Greeks who invented the idea of the city, and urbanity continues as a thriving tradition. But in the first decade of the 21st century, urban life is changing. “Cities are now junctions in the flows of people, information, finance and freight,” says Nigel Harris, a professor of development planning. “They’re less and less places where people live and work.”The enlargement of the European Union in December in 2002 has given residents of up to 13 new member nations freedom of movement within its borders. At the same time, an additional 13.5 million immigrants a year will be needed in the EU just to keep a stable ratio between workers and pensioners over the next half century. All this mobility will make Europe’s cities nodes of nomadism, linked to each other by high-speed trains and cheap airline flights. The bustle around airports and train stations will make the crowds in Europe’s great piazza look thin by comparison. Urban designers, with a freshly pricked interest in transience rather than stasis, are even now dreaming up cityscapes that focus on flows of people and fungible uses for buildings.Public spaces are due for a revamp. Earlier architects conceived of train stations as single buildings; today’s designers are thinking of them as transit zones that link to the city around them, pouring travelers into bus stations and surrounding shops, In Amsterdam, urban planner Ben van Berkel, co-director of the design firm of UN Studio, has developed what he calls Deep Planning Strategy, which inverts the traditional “top-down” approach: the creation of a space comes before the flow of people through it. With 3-D modeling and ani mation, he’s able to look at different population groups use public spaces at different times of the day. He uses the data to design spaces that accommodate mobs at rush hour and sparser crowds at other times.The growing mobility of Europe has inspired a debate about the look and feel ofurban sprawl. “Up until now, all our cultural heritage has been concentrated in the city center,” notes Prof. Heinrich Moding of the German Institute of Urban Affairs. “But we’ve got to imagine how it’s possible to have jo yful vibrancy in these outlying parts, so that they’re not just about garages, highways and gasoline tanks.” The designs of new building are also changing to anticipate the emerging city as a way station. Buildings have been seen as disconnecting, isolating, defining. But increasingly, the quality of space that’s in demand is movement.Text 2Pain, unfortunately, is a horrible necessity of life. It protects people by alerting them to things that might injure them. But some long-term pain has nothing to do with any obvious injury. One estimate suggests that one in six adults suffer from a “chronic pain” condition.Steve McMahon, a pain researcher at King’s College, London, says that if skin is damaged, for instance with a hot iron, an area of sensitivity develops around the outside of the burn where although untouched and undamaged by the iron the behavior of the nerve fibers is disrupted. As a result, heightened sensitivity and abnormal pain sensations occur in the surrounding skin. Chronic pain, he says, may similarly be caused not by damage to the body, but because weak pain signals become amplified.This would also help explain why chronic pains such as lower-back pain and osteoarthritis fail to respond well to traditional pain therapies. But now an entirely new kind of drug, called Tanezumab, has been developed. It is an antibody for a protein called nerve growth factor (NGF), which is vital for new nerve growth during development. NGF, it turns out, is also crucial in the regulation of the sensitization of pain in chronic conditions.Kenneth Verburg, one of the researchers involved in the development of Tanezumab at Pfizer, says it is not exactly clear what role NGF plays in normalphysiology, but after an injury which involves tissue damage and inflammation, levels of NGF increase dramatically. NGF seems to be involved in transmitting the pain signal. As a consequence, blocking NGF reduces chronic pain.Tanezumab must still complete the final stages of clinical trials before it can become a weapon in the toolkit for reducing human suffering. But unexpected pains do not always come from the body. According to Irene Tracey, a pain researcher at the University of Oxford, how pain is experienced also depends upon a person’s state of mind. If successive patients suffer the same burn, the extent to which it hurts will depend on whether one is anxious, depressed, happy or distracted.Such ideas are being explored with brain scans which suggest that even if a low level of pain is being sent to the brain, the signal can be turned up by the “mind” itself. Indeed, patients can even be tricked into feeling pain.In one experiment volunteers were given a powerful analgesic and subjected to a painful stimulus—which, because of the analgesic, they could not feel. Then they were told the drug had worn off (although it had not), and subsequently complained that the stimulus hurt.People can, therefore, feel pain simply because it is expected. They can fail to feel pain for exactly the same reasons, for example when they are given placebos or are distracted. But although pain may be subjective, that does not mean the final experience is controlled solely by the mind.A recent paper in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has shown that genes play a role in determining sensitivity to pain. One gene, known as SCN9A, codes for a protein that allows the channels along which nerve signals are transmitted to remain active for longer and thus transmit more pain signals. It seems likely that this protein will attract a great deal more analgesic research. Variations in SCN9A may also explain why some patients prefer different classes of painkillers.Although pain may be a horrible necessity, there is no doubt that humanity could cope with far less of the chronic sort. Understanding how the mind, the body and people’s genes interact to cause pain should bring more relief.Text 3More than 41m Americans tuned in on March 7th to watch “The Hurt Locker” win the award for best picture at the Oscars, the annual ritual of glitz that reminds the world that Hollywood is the global centre of the film and entertainment industry. “The Hurt Locker”, however, was filmed in Jordan, not Hollywood. Perhaps that is as it should be for a film set in Iraq. But what about “Battle: Los Angeles”? Hitting cinemas next year, it is a film about marines fighting an alien invasion. And it is being shot in Louisiana.California has been worrying about “runaway production” since 1998, when Canada began luring producers and their crews away from Los Angeles with tax breaks. Other places followed, and all but seven American states and territories and 24 other countries now offer, or are preparing to offer, rebates, grants or tax credits that cut 20%, 30% or even 40% of the cost of shooting a movie.These incentives have become a huge factor in choosing where to shoot a film. Hollywood types are used to going on location, says Amy Lemisch, the director of the California Film Commission, a state body that tries to retain film production. These days, she says, producers first compare the incentives offered by the different locations and only then look at their scripts to see which of the places on the shortlist make sense. California’s world share of studio films (ie, those m ade by the six biggest studios) dropped from 66% in 2003 to 34% in 2008, she estimates, and has fallen further since then.The decline in movie-shooting would have been even faster if California had not, last July, also got into the game of giving out incentives. Ten feature films which would otherwise have been made outside the state were filmed in Los Angeles in the second half of 2009 purely because of this financial aid. But California’s incentives are relatively modest, says Ms Lemisch, and are set to expire in 2014.It may seem strange that even states with budget crises, such as Michigan, NewYork or California, choose to make their deficits worse with such giveaways—and in Michigan the tax credits have indeed become controversial. But states and countries are enthusiastic about hosting film crews, for good reason. With no factories to build, the economic benefit is instantaneous. Jack Kyser at the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation estimates that the average film (with a budget of $32m) leads to 141 jobs directly, from caterers to make-up artists, and another 425 jobs indirectly. And it generates $4.1m in sales taxes and income taxes.Even with its film schools and armies of cameramen and extras, therefore, Hollywood is not quite as unshakable as it once thought. The business of film-making may split, says Ms Lemisch, with the lawyers, agents and other suits staying in their Brentwood and Bel Air villas, and the crews decamping. Every time a film is shot in another state, moreover, the locals pick up skills that make subsequent shoots easier. In a sign of how desperate Los Angeles is becoming, the city is now considering offering its most treasured resource to crew members at no charge: parking places.第二部分(新题型)Text 1Graduating high school seniors looking to enter the workforce and other high school students searching for summer jobs are facing a tighter job market this year as the once red-hot U.S. economy continues to cool. Nationally, the jobless rate for 16- to 19-year-olds continues to rise. The unemployment rate for teenagers hit 14.2 percent in April, compared with 12.8 percent last year, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.“It’s very obvious that it’s going to be a little harder this summer, because businesses are much m ore reserved and cautious,” said Mark J. Gambill, the vice president of marketing at Manpower Inc. , the nation’s largest temporary employment agency. The New York City-based company recently surveyed 16,000 public and private employers. It found manufacturing, light industry, and high-tech firms wereleast likely to be seeking employees.Temporary jobs typically are the first to suffer in a slowing economy, but other sectors that employ teenagers heavily have fallen on leaner times as well. For instance, the amusement, recreation, and hotel industries shed a combined 43000 jobs in March and April, said John F. Stinson Jr. , an economist at the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.Ironically, the pinch comes as the nation’s overall jobless rate remains low. Statistics show that fewer teenagers have been jobless over the past few summers than at any time during the previous decade. “The jobless rates are still low by historical standards,” Mr. Stinson said. Ten years ago, for example, the unemployment rate for 16- to 19-year-old workers was 21.1 percent in June and 15.7 percent in July. Last year, the rate was 14.4 percent and 12.4 percent, respectively, federal figures show.Experts say teenagers looking for summer work still can find jobs but not lots of pay. The continuing slump in the nation’s high-tech sector and lingering uncertainty over the general health of the economy have combined to limit teenagers’ job options to the type of work that American youths typically have thrived on——the retail and fast-food industries.For the past several years, experts say, large numbers of teenagers found work with high-paying technology companies. But those heady days of $50000 starting salaries for those with computer skills and only a high school diploma have ended.Nationally, some 2.8 million students are expected to graduate from public and private high schools this year, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Lacking some sort of post secondary education or training virtually ensures those graduates will garner low wages. Ron Bird, the chief economist at the Employment Policy Foundation, a Washington-based nonprofit think tank, said economic projections show that wage growth for those with only a high school diploma will be the slowest among all groups.“There is a fundamental shift evident in the U.S. economy, ties primarily to technology, that will reward more professional, management, and technical-type jobs as opposed to line operators,” he said.Text 2The United Stated is said to have a mixed economy because privately owned businesses and government both play important roles. Indeed, some of the most enduring debates of American economic history focus on the relative roles of the public and private sectors.The American free enterprise system emphasizes private ownership. Private businesses produce most goods and services, and almost two-thirds of the nation’s total economic output goes to individuals for personal use (the remaining one-third is bought by government and business). The consumer role is so great, in fact, that the nation is sometimes characterized as having a “consumer economy”.This emphasis on private ownership arises, in part, from American beliefs about personal freedom. From the time the nation was created, Americans have feared excessiv e government power, and they have to sought to limit government’s authority over individuals——including its role in the economic realm. In addition, Americans generally believe that an economy characterized by private ownership is likely to operate more efficiently than one with substantial government ownership.When economic forces are unfettered, Americans believe, supply and demand determine the prices of goods and services. Prices, in turn, tell businesses what to produce; if people want more of a particular goods than the economy is producing, the price of the goods rises. That catches the attention of new or other companies that, sensing an opportunity to earn profits, start producing more of that goods. On the other hand, if people want less of the goods, prices fall and less competitive producers either go out of business or start producing different goods.There are limits to free enterprise, however. Americans have always believed that some services are better performed by public rather than private enterprise. For instance, in the United States, government is primarily responsible for the administration of justice, education, the road system, and national defense.In this mixed economy, individuals can help guide the economy not only through the choices they make as consumers but through the votes they cast for officials who shape economic policy. In recent years, consumers have voiced concerns about product safety, environmental threats posed by certain industrial practices, and potential health risks citizens may face; government has responded by creating agencies to protect consumer interests and promote the general public welfare.Text 3It is not just meetings of the rich and powerful that are getting increasingly cosmopolitan. Global universit ies are “reshaping the world”, argues Ben Wildavsky, the author of “The Great Brain Race”. Because big problems often transcend borders, many ambitious students demand a global education. The number of people studying outside their home country jumped from below 2m in 2000 to 3.3m in 2008, according to the OECD.The most popular destination is the English-speaking world, led by America, which hosts 19% of the world’s mobile students. French and German universities are also popular, but more narrow in their allure. Most of the foreign students in France come from Europe or former colonies in Africa, but foreign students in America come from everywhere.America’s lead is declining slightly, but remains huge at the top of the knowledge tree. Two-thirds of postgraduates who study abroad choose America. In some of the hardest disciplines most postgrads at American universities are foreign: 65% in computing and economics, 56% in physics and 55% in maths, notes Mr Wildavsky.Text 4Wine buffs are like art collectors. Few can tell the difference between awell-made fake and the real thing. Yet whereas counterfeit art has been around for centuries, wine forgery is relatively new. It started in the late 1970s when the prices of the best wines—especially those from Bordeaux—shot up. Today, with demand from China fuelling a remarkable boom, counterfeiting is rife. By some estimates 5% of fine wines sold at auction or on the secondary market are not what they claim to be on the label.The simplest technique is to slap the label of a 1982 Château Lafite (one of the most prized recent vintages) onto a bottle of 1975 Lafite (a less divine year). Another trick is to bribe the sommelier of a fancy restaurant to pass on empty bottles that once held expensive wine, along with the corks. These can be refilled with cheaper wine, recorked and resealed. Empty Lafite and Latour bottles are sold on eBay for several hundred euros.The margins are fruity. A great wine may cost hundreds of times more than a merely excellent one. Small wonder that oenophiles are growing more vigilant. Bill Koch, an energy tycoon and avid wine collector, currently has five lawsuits pending against merchants, auctioneers and other collectors. His grape-related gripes began in 2006, when he filed a complaint against a German wine dealer who sold bottles of Lafite he claimed had once belonged to Thomas Jefferson. The case is unresolved.“There is a code of silence in the industry,” says Mr Koch, who owns 43,000 bottles of wine and estimates that he has spent $4m-5m on fakes. Some collectors are too proud to admit that they have been duped. Others fear sullying a vintage’s reputation and thereby reducing the value of their own collections. So instead of speaking out, “they dump their fakes into aucti ons or sell them to other private collectors,” says Mr Koch.Wine merchants and auction houses say they are doing everything they can to filter out the fakes. Simon Berry, the chairman of Berry Brothers & Rudd, a British wine merchant, says his firm never buys wines from before 2000 unless they come from its own cellars. (Berry Brothers stores nearly 4m bottles on behalf of its customers.) Christie’s, an auctioneer, says all the wines it auctions are inspected three times by different people, using detailed checklists for condition and authenticity.Fear of fakery has not stopped the boom. But the wines that win the best prices at auction are those whose provenance is certain. In May, Christie’s sold an impériale (six-litre bottle) of 1961 Latour for $216,000 in Hong Kong. It came directly from the cellars of Château Latour.Text 5Every profession or trade, every art, and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of which is partly to refer to things or processes which have no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in nomenclature. Such special dialects, or jargons, are necessary in technical discussion of any kind. Being universally understood by the devotees of particular science or art, they have the precision of a mathematical formula. Besides, they save time, for it is much more economical to name a process than to describe it. Thousands of these technical terms are properly included in every large dictionary, yet, as a whole, they are rather on the outskirts of English language than actually within its borders.Different occupations, however, differ widely in the character of their special vocabularies. In trades and handicrafts and other occupations, such as farming and fishing, that have occupied great numbers of men from remote times, the technical vocabulary is very old. It consists largely of native words, or of borrowed words that have worked themselves into the very fiber of our language. Hence, though highly technical in many particulars, these vocabularies are more familiar in sound, and more generally understood, than most other technicalities. The special dialects of law, medicine, divinity, and philosophy have also, in their older strata, become pretty familiar to cultivated persons, and have contributed much to the popular vocabulary.Yet, every vocation still possesses a large body of technical terms that remain essentially foreign, even to educated speech. And the proportion has been much increased in the last fifty years, particularly in the various departments of natural and political science and in the mechanic arts. Here new terms are coined with the greatestfreedom, and abandoned with indifference when they have served their turn. Most of the new coinages are confined to special discussions and seldom get into general literature or conversation. Yet no profession is nowadays, as all professions once were, a close guild. The lawyer, the physician, the man of science, and the cleric associate freely with his fellow creatures, and does not meet them in a merely professional way.Furthermore, what is called "popular science" makes everybody acquainted with modern views and recent discoveries. Any important experiment, though made in a remote or provincial laboratory, is at once reported in the newspapers, and everybody is soon talking about it——as in the case of the Roentgen rays and wireless telegraphy. Thus, our common speech is always taking up new technical terms and making them commonplace.。

Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (Reading in Depth)(25 minutes)Section ADirections: In this section, there is a short passage with 5 questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Robert Spring, a 19th century forger, was so good at his profession that he was able to make his living for 15 years by selling false signatures of famous Americans. Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he prospered by selling his small but genuine collection of early U.S. autographs. Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Ben Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale and circulation. Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can’t approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemical. In Spring’s time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stonewall” Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny’s financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand. All this activity did not prevent Spring from dying in poverty, leaving sharp-eyed experts the difficult task of separating his forgeries from the originals.47. What was in a great demand in Britain after the Civil War?48. What was Robert Spring’s profession during the years in Philadelphia?49. A forger must sell his work to people who don’t have much knowledge in the field instead of .50. Who was Miss Fanny Jackson?51. Spring made it difficult for sharp-eyed experts to separate his forgeries from .Section BDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statement. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C), and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.A gripping, fast-paced tale of adventure, The Call of the Wild focuses on Buck, a sheepdog stolen from a California farm and transported to the arctic. Buck’s struggle to survive on the arctic trail demonstrates the uncertain nature of life in the wild. Although it is an engaging animal story, the reader cannot help but draw parallels between Buck’s experience and that of humans. The book suggests that environment shapes character, and emphasizes that primitive character—often hidden beneath a layer of civilization—is never lost to the individual. Providing a fascinating glimpse of a way of life that has almost disappeared, the novel suggests that creatures survive best when they adapt to the natural world, rather than trying to impose changes on their environment.The story begins in 1897, at the start of the Gold Rush. The discovery of gold in the Klondike—a region in northwestern Canada—prompted thousands of gold seekers to head for the far north, all of them desperately in need of dogs to pull sleds across the harsh arctic trails. Buck, a large dog who has enjoyed a leisurely life on a California farm, is stolen and shipped to the Yukon. Buck learns to survive in this cruel environment; he begins to discover the primitive knowledge of his ancestors, and in time he responds to the call of the wild. Because the book focuses upon Buck’s experience, the human characters are of secondary importance. Buck is a magnificent dog, part shepherd and part St. Bernard. His superior strength enables him to adapt readily to the northern climate and the harsh demands of his labors. But he possesses one additional quality—imagination. Buck fights with his head as well as his strength. Adaptability is a dominant theme in this novel. In order to survive in the arctic, Buck must learn “the law of club and fang(⽛齿)”. Buck is first taught this law by the club wielding sled drivers, who show him that the strongest individuals are the ones who rule. Buck also learns this primitive law from the other team dogs, such as Dave, Solleks, and the vicious team leader, Spitz. From them, Buck learns that he must either bite or be bitten, master or be mastered.52. About this novel, which of the following statement is NOT true?A) The novel focused upon the experiences of a dog named Buck.B) The main theme was to tell its readers the life in the arctic wild.C) The book stressed the influences of environment on character.D) Creatures have to adapt to the changes on environment to survive.53. We can draw from the passage that the “primitive character” within Buck refers to .A) Buck’s adaptability to the cruel wild lifeB) the learning of the law of club and fangC) Buck’s ability to fight with head and clawD) becoming the strongest individual to rule54. The story was set primarily in .A) Klondike in CanadaB) a farm in CaliforniaC) the YukonD) the wild in California55. Buck learned to survive in the arctic by .A) its primitive characterB) becoming the strongestC) the law of club and fangD) adapt itself to the cold arctic56. According to the passage, which of the following statement is true?A) The Call of the Wild is about the relationship between men and dogs in the arctic.B) The Call of the Wild is a story about the wild west during the Gold Rush.C) Buck learned “the law of club and fang” by defeating its enemies.D) Buck managed to survive and became a leader.Passage TwoQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The ordinary family in colonial North America was primarily concerned with sheer physical survival and beyond that, is own economic prosperity. Thus, children were valued in terms of their productivity, and they assumed the role of producer quite early. Until they fulfilled this role, their position in the structure of the family was one of subordination and their psychological needs and capacities received little consideration. As the society became more complex, the status of children in the family and in the society became more important. In the complex, technological society that the United States has become, each member must fulfill a number of personal and occupational roles and be in constant contact with a great many other members. Consequently, viewing children as potentially acceptable and necessarily multifaceted members of society means that they are regarded more as people in their own right than as utilitarian organisms.

You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 26 to 35 are based on the following passage.Let’s all stop judging people who talk to themselves. New research says that those who can’t seem to keep their inner monologues( 独白) in are actually more likely to stay on task, remain 26 better and show improved perception capabilities. Not bad, really, for some extra muttering.According to a series of experiments published in the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychologyby professors Gary Lupyan and Daniel Swignley, the act of using verbal clues to 27 mental pictures helps people function quicker.In one experiment, they showed pictures of various objects to twenty 28 and asked them to findjust one of those, a banana. Half were 29 to repeat out loud what they were looking for and the other half kept their lips 30 . Those who talked to themselves found the banana slightly faster than those who didn’t,the researchers say. In other experiments, Lupyan and Swignley found that 31 the name of a common product when on t he hunt for it helped quicken someone’s pace, but talking about uncommon items showed no advantage and slowed you down.Common research has long held that talking themselves through a task helps children learn, although doing so when you’ve 32 matured is not a great sign of 33 . The two professors hope to refute that idea, 34 that just as when kids walk themselves through a process, adults can benefit from using language not just to communicate, but also to help “augment thinking”.Of course, you are still encouraged to keep the talking at library tones and, whatever you do, keep the information you share simple, like a grocery list. At any 35 , there’s still such a thing as too much information.Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph fromwhich the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once.Eachparagraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the correspondingletter on Answer Sheet 2.Rich Children and Poor Ones Are Raised Very Differently[A]The lives of children from rich and poor American families look more different than ever before.[B]Well-off families are ruled by calendars, with children enrolled in ballet, soccer and after-school programs, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. There are usually two parents, who spend a lotof time reading to children and worrying about their anxiety levels and hectic schedules.[C]In poor families, meanwhile, children tend to spend their time at home or with extended family. They are more likely to grow up in neighborhoods that their parents say aren’t great for raising children, and their parents worry about them getting shot, beaten up or in trouble with the law.[D]The class differences in child rearing are growing — a symptom of widening inequality withfar-reaching consequences. Different upbringings set children on different paths and can deepen socioeconomic divisions, especially because education is strongly linked to earnings. Children grow up learning the skills to succeed in their socioeconomic stratum (阶层), but not necessarily others.[E]“Early childhood experiences can be very consequential for children’s long-term social, emotional and cognitive development,” said Sean Reardon, professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University. “And because those influence educational success and later earnings, early childhood experie nces cast a lifelong shadow.” The cycle continues: Poorer parents have less time and fewer resources to invest in their children, which can leave children less prepared for school and work, which leads to lower earnings.[F]American parents want similar things for their children, the Pew report and past research have found: for them to be healthy and happy, honest and ethical, caring and compassionate. There is no best parenting style or philosophy, researchers say, and across income groups, 92% of parents say they are doing a good job at raising their children. Yet they are doing it quite differently. Middle-class and higher- income parents see their children as projects in need of careful cultivation, says Annette Lareau, whose groundbreaking research on the topic was published in her book Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race and Family Life. They try to develop their skills through close supervision and organized activities, and teach children to question authority figures and navigate elite i nstitutions.[G]Working-class parents, meanwhile, believe their children will naturally thrive, and give them far greater independence and time for free play. They are taught to be compliant and respectful to adults. There are benefits to both approaches. Working-class children are happier, more independent, complain less andare closer with family members, Ms. Lareau found. Higher-income children are more likely to declare boredom and expect their parents to solve their problems. Yet later on, the more affluent children end up in college and on the way to the middle class, while working-class children tend to struggle. Children from higher-income families are likely to have the skills to navigate bureaucracies and succeed in schools and workplaces, Ms. Lareau said.[H]“Do all parents want the most success for their children? Absolutely,” she said. “Do some strategies give children more advantages than others in institutions? Probably they do. Will parents be damaging children if they have one fewer organized activity? No, I really doubt i t.”[I]Social scientists say the differences arise in part because low-income parents have less money to spend on music class or preschool, and less flexible schedules to take children to museums or attend school events. Extracurricular activities reflect the differences in child rearing in the Pew survey, which was of a nationally representative sample of 1,807 parents. Of families earning more than $75,000 a year, 84% say their children have participated in organized sports over the past year, 64% have done volunteer work and 62% have taken lessons in music, dance or art. Of families earning less than $30,000, 59% of children have done sports, 37% have volunteered and 41% have taken arts classes.[J]Especially in affluent families, children start young. Nearly half of high-earning, college-graduate parents enrolled their children in arts classes before they were 5, compared with one-fifth of low-income,less- educated parents. Nonetheless, 20% of well-off parents say their children’s schedules are too hectic, compared with 8% of poorer parents.[K]Another example is reading aloud, which studies have shown gives children bigger vocabulariesand better reading comprehension in school. 71% of parents with a college degree say they do it every day, compared with 33% of those with a high school diploma or less. White parents are more likely than othersto read to their children daily, as are married parents. Most affluent parents enroll their children in preschoolor day care, while low-income parents are more likely to depend on family members. Discipline techniques vary by education level: 8% of those with a postgraduate degree say they often beat their children, compared with 22% of those with a high school degree or less.[L]The survey also probed attitudes and anxieties. Interestingly, parents’ attitudes toward education do not seem to reflect their own educational background as much as a belief in the importance of education for upward mobility. Most American parents say they are no t concerned about their children’s grades as long as they work hard. But 50% of poor parents say it is extremely important to them that their children earn a college degree, compared with 39% of wealthier parents.[M]Less-educated parents, and poorer and black and Latino parents are more likely to believe thatthere is no such thing as too much involvement in a child’s education. Parents who are white, wealthy or college- educated say too much involvement can be bad. Parental anxieties reflect their circumstances.High- earning parents are much more likely to say they live in a good neighborhood for raising children. While bullying is parents’ greatest concern over all, nearly half of low-income parents worry their childwill get shot, compared with one-fifth of high-income parents. They are more worried about their childrenbeing depressed or anxious.[N]In the Pew survey, middle-class families earning between $30,000 and $75,000 a year fell right between working-class and high-earning parents on issues like the quality of their neighborhood for raising children, participation in extracurricular activities and involvement in their children’ s education.[O]Children were not always raised so differently. The achievement gap between children from high- and low-income families is 30-40% larger among children born in 2001 than those born 25 years earlier, according to Mr. Reardon’ s research. People used to live near people of different income levels; neighborhoods are now more segregated by income. More than a quarter of children live in single-parent households — a historic high, according to Pew 一and these children are three times as likely to live in poverty as those who live with married parents. Meanwhile, growing income inequality has coincided with the increasing importance of a college degree for earning a middle-class w age.[P]Yet there are recent signs that the gap could be starting to shrink. In the past decade, even asincome inequality has grown, some of the socioeconomic differences in parenting, like reading to children and going to libraries, have narrowed.[Q]Public policies aimed at young children have helped, including public preschool programs and reading initiatives. Addressing differences in the earliest years, it seems, could reduce inequality in the next generation.36.Working-class parents teach their children to be obedient and show respect to adults.37.American parents, whether rich or poor, have similar expectations of their children despitedifferent ways of parenting.38.While rich parents are more concerned with their children’s psychological well-being, poor parents are more worried about their children’s safety.39.The increasing differences in child rearing between rich and poor families reflect growing social inequality.40.Parenting approaches of working-class and affluent families both have a dvantages.41.Higher-income families and working-class families now tend to live in different neighborhoods.42.Physical punishment is used much less by well-educated parents.43.Ms. Lareau doesn’t believe participating in fewer after-class activities will negatively affect children’s development.44.Wealthy parents are concerned about their children’s mental health and busy schedules.45.Some socioeconomic differences in child rearing have shrunk in the p ast ten years.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decideon the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Tennessee’s technical and community colleges will not outsource(外包) management of their facilities to a private company, a decision one leader said was bolstered by an analysis of spending at each campus.In an email sent Monday to college presidents in the Tennessee Board of Regents system, outgoing Chancellor John Morgan said an internal an alysis showed that each campus’ spending on facilities management fell well below the industry standards identified by the state. Morgan said those findings —which included data from the system’s 13 community colleges, 27 technical colleges and six univer sities —were part of the decision not to move forward with Governor Bill Haslam’s proposal to privatize management of state buildings in an effort to save money.“While these numbers are still being validated by the state, we feel any adjustments they mig ht suggest will be immaterial,” Morgan wrote to the presidents. “System institutions are operating very efficiently based on this analysis, raising the question of the value of pursuing a broad scale outsourcing initiative.”Worker’s advocates have criticized Haslam’s plan, saying it would mean some campus workers would lose their jobs or benefits. Haslam has said colleges would be free to opt in or out of the out souring plan, which has not been finalized.Morgan notified the Haslam administration of his decision to opt out in a letter sent last week. That letter, which includes several concerns Morgan has with the plan, was originally obtained by The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.In an email statement from the state’s Office of Customer Focused Government, which is examining the possibility of outsourcing, spokeswoman Michelle R. Martin said officials were still working to analyze the data from the Board of Regents. Data on management expenses at the college system and in other state departments will be par t of a “business justification” the state will use as officials deliberate the specifics of an outsourcing plan.“The state’s facilities management project team is still in the process of developing its business justification and expects to have that compl eted and available to the public at the end of February,” Martin said. “At this time there is nothing to take action on since the analysis has yet to be completed.”Morgan’s comments on outsourcing mark the second time this month that he has come out again st one of Haslam’s plans for higher education in Tennessee. Morgan said last week that he would retire at the end of January because of the governor’s proposal to split off six universities of the Board of Regents system and create separate governing boards for each of them. In his resignation letter, Morgan called the reorganization “unworkable”.46.What do we learn about the decision of technical and community colleges in Tennessee?A)It is backed by a campus spending analysis.B)It has been flatly rejected by the governor.C)It has neglected their faculty’s demands.D )It will improve their financial situation.47.What does the campus spending analysis reveal?A)Private companies play a big role in campus management.B)Facilities management by colleges is more c ost-effective.C)Facilities management has greatly improved in recent years.D)Colleges exercise foil control over their own financial a ffairs.48.Workers’ supporters argue that Bill Haslam’s proposal would .A)deprive colleges of the right to manage their facilitiesB)make workers less motivated in performing dutiesC)render a number of campus workers joblessD)lead to the privatization of campus facilities49.What do we learn from the state spokeswoman’s response to John Morgan’s d ecision?A)The outsourcing plan is not yet finalized.B)The outsourcing plan will be implemented.C)The state officials are confident about the outsourcing plan.D)The college spending analysis justifies the outsourcing plan.50.Why did John Morgan decide to resign?A)He had lost confidence in the Tennessee state government.B)He disagreed with the governor on higher education policies.C)He thought the state’s outsourcing proposal was simply unworkable.D)He opposed the governor’s plan to reconstruct the college board system.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Beginning in the late sixteenth century, it became fashionable for young aristocrats to visit Paris, Venice, Florence, and above all, Rome, as the culmination(终极) of their classical education. Thus was born the idea of the Grand Tour, a practice which introduced Englishmen, Germans, Scandinavians, and also Americans to the art and culture of France and Italy for the next 300 years. Travel was arduous and costly throughout the period, possible only for a privileged class—the same that produced gentlemen scientists, authors, antique experts, and patrons of the arts.The Grand Tourist was typically a young man with a thorough grounding in Greek and Latin literature as well as some leisure time, some means, and some interest in art. The German traveler Johann Winckelmann pioneered the field of art history with his comprehensive study of Greek and Roman sculpture; he was portrayed by his friend Anton Raphael Mengs at the beginning of his long residence in Rome. Most Grand Tourists, however, stayed for briefer periods and set out with less scholarly intentions, accompanied by a teacher or guardian, and expected to return home with souvenirs of their travels as well as an understanding of art and architecture formed by exposure to great masterpieces.London was a frequent starting point for Grand Tourists, and Paris a compulsory destination; many traveled to the Netherlands, some to Switzerland and Germany, and a very few adventurers to Spain, Greece,or Turkey. The essential place to visit, however, was Italy. The British traveler Charles Thompsonspoke for many Grand Tourists when in 1744 he described himself as “being impatiently desirous of viewing a country so famous in history, a country which once gave laws to the world, and which is at present the greatest school of music and painting, contains the noblest productions of sculpture and architecture, and is filled with cabinets of rarities, and collections of all kinds of historical relics”. Within Italy, the great focus was Rome, whose ancien t ruins and more recent achievements were shown to every Grand Tourist. Panini’s Ancient Rome and Modem Rome represent the sights most prized, including celebrated Greco-Roman statues and views of famous ruins, fountains, and churches. Since there were few museums anywhere in Europe before the close of the eighteenth century, Grand Tourists often saw paintings and sculptures by gaining admission to private collections, and many were eager to acquire examples of Greco-Roman and Italian art for their own collections. In England, where architecture was increasingly seen as an aristocratic pursuit, noblemen often applied what they learned from the villas of Palladio in the Veneto and the evocative ( 唤起回忆的) ruins of Rome to their own country houses and gardens.51.What is said about the Grand Tour?A)It was fashionable among young people of the time.B)It was unaffordable for ordinary people.C)It produced some famous European artists.D)It made a compulsory part of college education.52.What did Grand Tourists have in common?A)They had much geographic knowledge.B)They were courageous and venturesome.C)They were versed in literature and interested in art.D)They had enough travel and outdoor-life experience.53.How did Grand Tourists benefit from their travel?A)They found inspiration in the world’s greatest masterpieces.B)They got a better understanding of early human civilization.C)They developed an interest in the origin of modem art forms.D)They gained some knowledge of classical art and architecture.54.Why did many Grand Tourists visit the private collections?A)They could buy unique souvenirs there to take back home.B)Europe hardly had any museums before the 19th century.C)They found the antiques there more valuable.D)Private collections were of greater variety.55.How did the Grand Tour influence the architecture in England?A)There appeared more and more Roman-style buildings.B)Many aristocrats began to move into Roman-style villas.C)Aristocrats,country houses all had Roman-style gardens.D) Italian architects were hired to design houses and gardens.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English.

If a long reading assignment isgiven, instructors expect students to be familiar with theinformations in the reading even if they do not discuss it in 63class or give an examination. The ideal student isconsidered to be one who motivated to learn for the sake of 64learning, not the one who is interested only in getting highgrades. Grade-conscious students may be frustrated withteachers who do not believe it is necessary to grade everyassignment. Sometimes homework is returned with briefwriting comments but without a grade. When research is 65assigned, the professor expects the student to make the 66initiative and complete the assignment with minimalguidance.Professors do not have time to explain how thelibrary works; they expect students, particular graduate 67students, to be able to use the reference sources in thelibrary.In the United States, professors have other dutiesexcept teaching. Often they either have administrative work 68to do or may be obliged to publish articles and books. But 69the time that a professor can spend with a student outside ofclass is very limited.

二、六级文章本身的特点:1、结构:1)文科文章常有的一些结构A、现象解释型(文章一开始给出一个现象然后对现象进行解释,一般都会在第一段的末句是一个问句,段末是问号。

就是要我们寻找回答,问题就是一个现象,我们就要寻找解释,来做主题。

)解释即为文章的主题所在。

常被考到的有:现象本身;解释;作者对解释的评价。

理科文章解释主题常有两种方式:1)罗列式的2)用实验来解释主题文中加引号的词,表明该词在原文中有特定的含义,表达并非最表面的意思问题中出现了一开始就提到的现象时,答案通常针对文章主题。

B、问题解决方案型(文章一开始给出一个问题,对问题给出一个解决方案。

典型的文章:2019年6月的第一篇文章。

问题—problem 第一问题本身考一道题,第二造成问题的原因是,第三问题的解决方案是,第四作者对解决方案的态度,正评价还是副评价,肯定还是否定。

思路比较固定,只要是解决方案一般都是不行的。

)C、结论解释型(在文科文章的数量是最大的。

文章一开始给出一结论,然后对结论进行解释,数量极多。

)2)理科文章的结构A、现象解释型(结构与文科文章不一样,理科文章首句出问号,常暗示指现象,有现象就要寻找解释。

)B、问题解决方案型(成果型在理科文章里很多,2019-6)C、实验型文章(文科文章可以颠三倒四的把问题反复地说,理科文章一般比较客观,要说明问题一般用实验来说。

)2、体裁,以说明和议论为主。

原因:四级和四级以上的文章具有的特征——academic学术性的,学术性的文章用记叙文说不清楚,只能用说明和议论。

说明文:作者没有太多的观点,只给出一些数据和事实,让你自己去推理、综合。

启发:1、关注重点不同。

对于说明文而言注意文中的定义、概念、重要数据和细节。

对于议论文而言注意作者的结论和观点。

主要是看作者支持什么反对什么。
