2009Text 1Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th cen tury. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative implication.习惯是一种有趣的现象。
我们无意识地养成了习惯，任由大脑自动操作，且不知不觉在熟悉的常规中感到轻松舒适。
“并非选择，而是习惯会控制那些没有思想的人。
”19 世纪时，威廉·华兹华斯说。
在千变万化的21 世纪，甚至“习惯”这个词本身也带有负面涵义。
So it seems paradoxical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.因此，在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯，似乎显得有点矛盾。
但大脑研究人员发现，当我们有意识地培养新的习惯，就创建了平行路径，甚至是全新的脑细胞，可以让我们思绪的列车跳转到新的创新轨道上来。

2014年考研英语阅读真题Text 1In order to “change lives for the better” and reduce “dependency,” George Osbome,Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced the “upfront work search” scheme. Only if the jobless arrive at the job centre with a register for online job search, and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit-and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly. What could be more reasonable?为了“让生活变得更美好”以及减少“依赖”，英国财政大臣乔治•奥斯本引入了“求职预付金”计划。
只有当失业者带着简历到就业中心，注册在线求职并开始找工作，才有资格获得补助金——然后他们应该每周而非每两周报告一次。
有什么比这更合理呢？More apparent reasonableness followed. There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker’s allowance. “Those first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on.” he claimed. “We’re doing these things because we k now they help people say off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster” Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with “reforms” to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsides laziness. What motivated him, we were to understand, was his zeal for “fundamental fairness”-protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits.更加明显的合理性如下。

①If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in2006’s World Cup tournament, you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk: elite soccer players are more likely to have been born in the earlier months of the year than in the late months.②If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks, you would find this strange phenomenon to be ever more pronounced.
因此,埃里克森和他的同事开始研究包括足球领域在内的广泛领域中专业执行者;他们收集了能够收集的所有资料,不只是表现方面的统计数据和传记详细资料,还包括他们自己对取得很高成就的人员进行的实验室实验结果;他们的研究得出了一个非常令人惊奇的结论——我们通常称为天分的特征被高估了;或者,换句话说,专业执行者――无论是在记忆还是手术方面,在芭蕾还是计算机编程领域――几乎总是培养的,而不是天生的;

然而，竞走也确实有自身的问题。
Race walkers are conditioned athletes. The longest track and field event at the Summer Olympics is the 50-kilometer race walk, which is about five miles longer than the marathon. But the sport’s rules require that a race walker’s knees stay straight through most of the leg swing and one foot remain in contact (接触) with the ground at all times. It’s this strangeform that makes race walking such an attractive activity, however, says Jaclyn Norberg, an assistant professor of exercise science at Salem State University in Salem, Mass.竞走运动员是条件受到限制的运动员。

For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Anthony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic。
2009年纽约交响乐团突然宣布聘用艾伦·吉尔伯特为下一位乐曲指挥，从那时起一直到现在，这次任命都成为古典音乐界的话题。
退一步说，从总体上看，反应还是不错的。
如冷静的古典音乐评论家安东尼·托姆西尼就这样写：从长时间来看，这次委命是英明的。
One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in the Times, calls him “an unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him。

Text 1①Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.①It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers. ②Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the 20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. ③To read such books today is to marvel at the fact that their learned contents were once deemed suitable for publication in general-circulation dailies.① We are even farther removed from the unfocused newspaper reviews published in England between the turn of the 20th century and the eve of World War 2,at a time when newsprint was dirt-cheap and stylish arts criticism was considered an ornament to the publications in which it appeared. ②In those far-off days, it was taken for granted that the critics of major papers would write in detail and at length about the events they covered. ③Theirs was a serious business. and even those reviews who wore their learning lightly, like George Bernard Shaw and Ernest Newman, could be trusted to know what they were about. ④These men believed in journalism as a calling, and were proud to be published in the daily press. ⑤So few authors have brains enough or literary gift enough to keep their own end up in ournalism,Newman wrote, "that I am tempted to define "journalism" as "a term of contempt applied by writers who are not read to writers who are".①Unfortunately, these critics are virtually forgotten. ②Neville Cardus, who wrote for the Manchester Guardian from 1917 until shortly before his death in 1975, is now known solely as a writer of essays on the game of cricket. ③During his lifetime, though, he was also one of England's foremost classical-music critics, and a stylist so widely admired that his Autobiography (1947) became a best-seller. ④He was knighted in 1967, the first music critic to be so honored.⑤Yet only one of his books is now in print, and his vast body of writings on music is unknown save to specialists.①Is there any chance that Cardus's criticism will enjoy a revival? ②The prospect seems remote.③Journalistic tastes had changed long before his death, and postmodern readers have little use for the richly uphostered Vicwardian prose in which he specialized. ④Moreover,the amateur tradition in music criticism has been in headlong retreat.全文翻译：在过去的25 年英语报纸所发生的变化中，影响最深远的可能就是它们对艺术方面的报道在范围上毫无疑问的缩小了，而且这些报道的严肃程度也绝对降低了。

英语一阅读翻译
2006Text 1In spite of “endless talk of difference”;American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is “the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse;and the casualness and absence of deference”characteristic of popular culture. People ar e absorbed into “a culture of consumption” launched by the 19th——century department stores that offered “vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite;” these were stores “anyone cou ld enter; regardless of class or background. This turned shopping into a public and democratic act.” The mass media; advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization.不管我们如何喋喋不休地谈论差别;美国社会实际上是一台同化人们的神奇的机器..这就是民主化的着装和言谈;并且还有种随意和缺乏尊重感;这些构成了通俗文化的特性..人们被一种消费文化所吸引了;这种文化是由十九世纪在高雅的氛围中陈列着琳琅满目的商品的百货商店所开始的.. 他们不是为了迎合有知识的精英们而开设的专门商店;而是创建了“不分阶层和背景人人都可以进入”的大众商店..这使得购物成为一种大众的、民主的行为..大众传媒、广告和体育也是协助人们均质化的推动力..Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture; which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for the National Immigration Forum; Gregory Rodriguez reports that today's immigration is neither at unprecedented levels nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population; in 1900; 13.6 percent .In the 10 years prior to 1990; 3.1 immigrants arrived for every 1;000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890; 9.2 for every 1; 000. Now; consider three indices of assimilation–language; home ownership and intermarriage.尽管这种文化并不算高雅;但也算不上有害;移民们很快就融入了这种共同文化..Gregory Rodriguez为美国移民研讨会撰文指出;今天的移民既不是处于空前的水平;也不抵制同化..在1998年;移民占全国人口的9.8%；在1900年为13.6%..在1990年以前的十年之中;在每千位居民当中;有千分之3.1的新来的移民；而在1890年以前的十年之中;每千位居民当中就有千分之9.2的移民..现在;让我们来看一下三个同化指标——语言、拥有产权住房和异族结婚情况..The 1990 Census revealed that “a majority of immigrants fr om each of the fifteen most common countries of origin spoke English “well” or “very well” after ten years of residence.” The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. “By the third generation; the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families.” Hence the description of America as a “graveyard” for languages. By 1996 foreign–born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a homeownership rate of 75.6 percent; higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans. 1990年的人口普查透露：“来自十五个移民数量最多的国家的移民在到美国十年后英语说得‘好’或‘很好’..”移民的子女几乎都说两种语言;且精通英语..“到了第三代;在大多数移民家庭;他们的母语就消失了..”因此;有人就把美国描述成了“语言的坟场”..到了1996年;出生于国外的、在1970年以前到达美国的移民有75.6%购置了自己的住房;这个数字高出土生土长的美国人的拥有自己所有权住房的百分比——69.8%..Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics “hav e higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S–born whites and blacks.” By the third generation; one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics; and 41 percent of Asian–American women are married to non-Asians.在国外出生的亚裔和西班牙裔移民“与美国本土白人和黑人相比;与异族通婚的比率要高..”到了第三代;有三分之一的西班牙裔女性与非西班牙裔男性结婚;而有41%亚裔美国妇女与非亚裔男性结婚..Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks; yet “some Americans fear that immigrant living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation’s assimilative power.”罗得里格斯写道;即使那些住在世界各地偏僻村庄的孩子们都是诸如阿诺.施瓦辛格和加思.布鲁克斯等明星的星迷;然而“一些美国人却害怕住在美国的移民不知为何能不受这个国家的同化力量的影响”..Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America Indeed. It is big enough to ha ve a bit of everything. But particularly when viewed against America‘s turbulent past; today’s social induces hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.在美国是否存在不和以及潜在的不安答案是肯定的;因为这个国家足够大以至于什么现象都存在..但是与美国动荡狂暴的过去相比;如今的社会基本不能说明美国的社会环境正变得黑暗;且正在恶化..Text 2Stratford-on-Avon; as we all know; has only one industry-William Shakespeare-but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. There is the Royal Shakespeare Company RSC; which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come; not to see the plays; but to look at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage; Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights.众所周知Stratford-on-Avon只有一个特色;那就是威廉莎士比亚;但这儿却有两个相互独立的部门;他们随着时间的变化而日益变得敌对..这儿有皇家莎士比亚公司RSC; 它在Avon的莎士比亚纪念剧院里将很多优秀的戏剧作品呈现给大家..这儿的居民大部分是靠挣来游玩的游客的钱来维持生计;这些游客并不是来看戏剧的;而是来看Anne Hathaway的庄园;莎士比亚的出生地和其他的景色.. The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly dislike the RSC’s actors; them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. It’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare; who earns their living; was himself an actor with a beard and did his share of noise - making.Stratford的当地乡绅们都质疑剧院有没有为当地的税收收入做一点贡献..他们直言讨厌RSC的演员;这些演员留着长头发;长胡须;拖着凉鞋;吵吵嚷嚷..这真是一种绝妙的讽刺;当你想到作为他们摇钱树的莎士比亚;自己也是个演员;留着胡子;一起大吵大闹..The tourist streams are not entirely separate. The sightseers who come by bus- and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side–don’t usually see theplays; and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. However; the playgoers do manage a little sight - seeing along with their play- going. It is the playgoers; the RSC contends; who bring in much of the town’s revenue because they spend the night some of them four or five nights pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.游客群并不是完全分开的..游览者乘公车来;;经常会去游览Warwick城堡和Blenheim宫殿;通常不会去看戏;并且他们中的一些人甚至会对在Stratford能找到剧院感到惊讶..然而;看戏者只花少量的时间在观光上;也就是在戏剧演出时顺便看看..RSC主张;是看戏者给城镇带来大量的税收;因为他们通常花整晚上时间有些是四到五个晚上在旅馆或饭店里大量消费..然而游览者在当天的黄昏前就能把所有事情做完了;然后离开小镇..The townsfolk don’t see it this way and local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. Stratford cries poor traditionally. Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. Hilton is building its own hotel there; which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars; the Lear Lounge; the Banquo Banqueting Room; and so forth; and will be very expensive.当地居民并不这么认为;地方政府也直接没有给予RSC补贴..Stratford一向都会哭穷..然而城镇上每一家旅馆似乎都增加了新的部门或是鸡尾酒酒吧..希尔顿也在这儿建了一座自己的酒店;这里肯定可以能看到被装饰一新的哈姆雷特汉堡酒吧;Lear休息室;宴会厅等等..进一步说;这里消费将很贵..Anyway; the townsfolk can’t understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1;431 seats were 94 per cent occupied all year long and this year they’ll do better. The reason; of course; is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.总之;居民不明白为什么RSC需要补贴..剧院已经打破了连续三年以来的就座率纪录..去年整年的1431个座位的就坐率达到了94%;今年将会更高..当然;原因是;演戏的花费高了;然而票价仍然很低..It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford’s most attractive clientele. They come entirely for the plays; not the sights. They all seem to look alike though they come from all over–lean; pointed; dedicated faces; wearing jeans and sandals; eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.大幅增加票价是一件很为难的事情;因为这样会把Stratford的最有魅力的顾客－年轻人赶走..他们完全是为了戏而来;不是为风景..他们看起来都一个样虽然他们从各个地方而来——消瘦、率直、专注的脸庞;穿着牛仔裤和便鞋;吃着小圆面包;在剧场外的石板上过夜;以便能买得到20张座票和80张站票;这些票都是为那些睡觉的人准备的;并且在票房第二天上午10点半开始售票时就卖给他们..Text 3When prehistoric man arrived in new parts of the world; something strange happened to the large animals. they suddenly became extinct. Smaller species survived. Thelarge; slow-growing animals were easy game; and were quickly hunted to extinction.Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.当史前的人到达世界的一个新的地方时;那里的大部分动物就会发生奇怪的事情..它们突然灭绝了..小部分动物种族存活了下来;但大部分的;成长缓慢的动物则成了狩猎的目标;并且很快被狩猎到灭绝..现在相类似的事情发生在大海中.That the seas are being overfished has been known for years. What researchers such as Ransom Myers and Boris Worm have shown is just how fast things are changing. They have looked at half a century of data from fisheries around the world. Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass the amount of living biological matter of fish species in particular parts of the ocean; but rather changes in that biomass over time. According to their latest paper published in Nature; the biomass of large predators animals that kill and eat other animals in a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% within 15 years of the start of exploitation. In some long-fished areas; it has halved again since then.这些年在海中的捕捞活动太过频繁;就像Ransom Myers和Boris Worm这些年所研究的;事物在迅速地变化着..他们研究了半个世纪以来世界上所有的鱼场..他们的方法不是为了试图估算特定区域的海洋中实际动物总数活着生物的总数;而是研究单位面积中海洋生物数量的变化..根据他们最近在自然杂志上发表的文章;大型食肉的海洋生物一种杀死和吃其它动物的生物的总量在15年的时间里已经减少了平均80%..在一些大型的捕鱼场;这个数量已经减半..Dr. Worm acknowledges that these figures are conservative. One reason for this is that fishing technology has improved.Today’s vessels can find their prey using satellites and sonar; which were not available 50 years ago. That means a higher proportion of what is in the sea is being caught; so the real difference between present and past is likely to be worse than the one recorded by changes in catch sizes. In the early days; too; lonelines would have been more saturated with fish. Some individuals would therefore not have been caught; since no baited hooks would have been available to trap them; leading to an underestimate of fish stocks in the past. Furthermore; in the early days of longline fishing; a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked. That is no longer a problem; because there are fewer sharks around now.Worm博士承认这些数字还只是保守数字;一个原因是今天的捕鱼技术已经大大改善;可以通过卫星和声波这些在50年前不可能有的东西来发现猎物;这同50年前相比意味着可以捕获更多的海洋生物;所以现在和过去的真正差距可能会比之前在捕获区记录的数据所体现出的更糟糕..在早期的时候;多勾的鱼杆线已经对鱼不起作用了..因此有一些鱼种没被抓到;往后没有鱼饵的鱼钩根本捕不到鱼;导致过去的捕鱼业受到轻视..而且;早期用鱼钩捕鱼的日子;有许多鱼在它们上钩后被鲨鱼给吃了..那不再是个问题;因为现在鲨鱼已经很少了..Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm argue that their work gives a correct baseline; which future management efforts must take into account. They believe the date support an idea current among marine biologists; that of the “shifting baseline”. The notion is that people have failed to detect the massive changes which have happened in the ocean because they have been looking back only a relatively short time into the past. That matters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield that can becropped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels. Most fisheries are well below that; which is a bad way to be business. Dr. Myers和Dr. worm声称说;他们的工作已经确定了一个正确的基本方针;这个方针是未来管理中必须要使用的..他们认为数据恰恰体现了一个海洋生物学家都支持的观点..这个观点就是“改变基线”..这个概念就是说人们已经很难观察得到大范围海洋中发生的变化;因为他们只是回顾从过去以来相对短的时间..这确有其事;因为理论告诉我们如果一个渔场的总储量如果连起初的最大可承受的捕鱼量的50％都不到;就应该降低捕鱼数量了..大多数渔场远远低于这个数;这是对以后的捕鱼业非常不利的..Text 4Many things make people think artists are weird.But the weirdest may be this: artists’ only job is to explore emotions; and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad. 许多事情让人们觉得艺术家很古怪..最古怪可能是：艺术家的唯一工作就是寻找情感;然而他们所关注的对象大多是那些不幸的人..This wasn’t always so. The earliest forms of art; like painting and music; are those best suited for expressing joy. But somewhere from the 19th century onward;more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless; phony or; worst of all; boring ;as we went from Wordsworth’s daffodils to Baudelaire’s flowers of evil.当然不总是那样..艺术的最早形式;像绘画和音乐;都是最适合表达快乐的..但在19世纪的某个时期;更多的艺术家开始把快乐看成无意义的;假冒的;甚至是最糟的..我们可以从Wordsworth的黄水仙到Baudelaire的罪恶之花看出这种变化.. You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seen so much misery. But it’s not as if earlier times didn’t know perpetual war; disaster and the massacre of innocents. The reason;in fact;may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in the world today.你可能会争论艺术变得对幸福如此怀疑是因为在现代看到了这样的苦难..但这并不是因为在早期不了解持久的战争;灾难和大规模的屠杀无辜..事实上;原因可能与之相反：现在世界上有太多快乐要去谴责..After all; what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness Advertising. The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of mass media; and with it; a commercial culture in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology.归根结底;几乎完全致力于描写快乐的那种现代表现方式是什么呢广告..反快乐艺术的兴起几乎完全与大众传媒同步出现;而随之兴起了一种商业文化;在这种文化中;快乐不仅是一个抽象概念;而是一种意识形态..People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of misery. They worked until exhausted; lived with few protections and died young. In the West; before mass communication and literacy; the most powerful mass medium was the church; which reminded worshippers that their souls were in danger and that they would someday be meat for worms. Given all this; they did not exactly need their art to be a bummer too. 早期的人们被悲痛之使者所萦绕..他们工作到筋疲力尽;生活几无保障;年纪轻轻就命丧黄泉..在西方;在大众传媒和文学普及之前;最有效的大众媒体是教堂;它提醒信徒们;他们的灵魂处于危险之中;他们总有一天会成为蛆虫的食物..在这种信仰下;他们对此已十分了然;无须其艺术再表现这种失落感..Today the messages the average Westerner is surrounded with are not religious but commercial and forever happy .Fast-food eaters; news anchors; text messengers; all smiling; smiling. Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes. And since these messages have an agenda—to lure us to open our wallets－they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable. “Celebrate”Commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex; before we found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.今天;你们普通西方人面对的围绕我们四周的信息不是宗教的;而是商业的;而且一直让人快乐.. 快餐食客、新闻主播、发短信的人;都在笑啊笑啊..我们的杂志突出刊登满面春风的名人和美满幸福的家庭..这样的消息都有一项任务——即引诱我们打开钱包去使这些看起来并不可靠的快乐变得真实起来..“欢庆吧”宣传关节炎良药西乐葆的广告这样号召道;随后我们却发现它能增加心脏病的发病率.. But what we forget—what our economy depends on us forgetting——is that happiness is more than pleasure without pain. The things that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest potential for loss and disappointment. Today; surrounded by promises of easy happiness; we need art to tell us; as religion once did; Memento mori: remember that you will die; that everything ends; and that happiness comes not in denying this but in living with it. It’s a message even more bitt er than a clove cigarette; yet; somehow; a breath of fresh air.但是我们所忘记的是――我们的经济依赖着我们的遗忘――经过痛苦得来的快乐比没有经过痛苦得来的快乐好得多..带给我们最大快乐的事件;同时也暗含着巨大的损失和失望..现在;在耳边充斥着能轻易得到快乐的承诺时;我们需要有人告诉我们;正如宗教曾经所做;死亡警示：记住你会死;一切将会终结; 快乐虽然到来;但是它不能消除苦难;而是与其共存..这可能比抽烟更加毒害人的健康;然而;不知为何;也许会带来一股清新的气息..。

Passage 1While researchers have studied farmers' markets for the past 20 years, studying not-for-profit food hubs is fairly new. For 15 years, the Food Hub Management Program at Michigan State University has helped organizations start and operate food hubs. Dr. Rich Pirog, who directs the program, has just edited a book on food hubs."The interest in local food systems is driving the increased attention to food hubs," says Pirog, who began studying farmers markets in the late 1990s. "Food hubs are about bringing agriculture back to cities and more populated areas."Pirog points to the huge amount of economic power of food sales in this country - $650 billion a year - and says, "A little bit of that localizes food to smaller areas. Ten percent is $65 billion. How do we get there?"To answer this question, he has begun a three-year project funded by the US Department of Agriculture, looking at the impact of food hubs, compared to farmers markets and conventional intermediaries, on the local economy.Food hubs are a fairly new concept. Some are for-profit, like Bon Appetit Management Company, which brings local food to collegecampuses like MSU. Some are not-for-profit, like Twin Cities-based The Good Acre, which focuses on serving low-income people who can't get to farmers markets.Food hubs can be both physical and virtual. They can be big, like the Chicago South Water Market, which has hundreds of farmers, sells $2 billion a year and has a physical connection to residential, retail and restaurant sectors. Or they can be small physical spaces like the MSU Student Organic Farm, which only sells a portion of its food.Pirog has ended the first phase of the project, which focused on synthesizing research on local food. Michigan State University researchers found that food hubs can create jobs and impact regional economies. They also found that they carry food that meets consumer demand and improves access to healthy food.Pirog and his team spent the past year reaching out to food hubs around the country to collect sales, employment and other data. They're studying 50 food hubs, in total. This summer, the team is entering the second phase of the project, looking at consumer behavior and attitudes about local food and food systems.译文如下：第一篇虽然研究人员在过去20年里一直在研究农民市场，但对于非营利性食品中心的研究还是相对较新的。

2021考研英语(一)阅读翻译及解析2021Text 1Come on –Everybody’s doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good-drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the word.得了吧, 每个人都这样啊. 这种说法一半是邀请，一半是强制。
当我们听到“同辈（趋同）压力”这个词组的时候我们想到的就是这种说法。
这种信息一般让人想到不好的事情，比如喝酒，吸毒，一夜情。
但是，在她的新书《参加这个俱乐部》, Tina Rosenberg认为，纯粹压力也是一种积极的力量，通过她所说的社会治疗，公司和官方人员可以使用群体力量去帮助个人提高他们的生活，而且也有可能提高整个人类世界的生活。
Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of example of the social cure in action: In South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool. In South Africa, anHIV-prevention initiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to promote safe sex among their peers.Rosenberg是普利策奖获得者，他提供了许多社会治疗的例子：在南卡罗莱纳州，一个州资助的反对抽烟的项目叫做“向烟雾宣战”就旨在控制好烟草销售。

考研英语一阅读翻译集团标准化办公室：[VV986T-J682P28-JP266L8-68PNN]T e x t1为了“让生活更美好”，减少“家庭的扶养”，英国财政部大臣GeorgeOsborn，提出了“为找工作提前支付工资”的计划。
只要到计算机化的就业服务中心找工作的人有VC--网上找工作的注册书，并且开始找工作，那么他们有资格得到福利，然后他们应该每周做一次报告而不是每两周。
还有什么能比这个更合理？下面是更明显的合理性。
下来找工作者将会有七天对津贴的等待。
“最初的这些天应该用来找工作，而不是找注册地。
”他还宣称“我们做这些是因为我们这会帮助那些没有福利的人并且让那些已经有福利的人更快地得到工作。
”帮助真的吗第一次听到这时，这就是一个关注社会的官员——努力想让生活更美好，和一个对于新待业人员能很容易找到工作的宽松社会的“改革”，以及对懒惰的补贴。
我们后来知道给他动力的是他对“基础公平”的热情——保护纳税人，控制支出，以及保证那些最需要的要求者得到他们的福利。
失去工作是让人伤心的：你不可能心里唱着歌跳着去就业服务中心，有着从一般状态翻番自己收入的愿景，并对此感到高兴。
失业是金融的恐怖，心理的尴尬，你知道得到的支持是最小的并且是非常难得到的。
你现在是不被需要的；为你的生活提供目标和组织体系的工作环境已经把你排除在外了。
更糟糕的是，养活你自己和家人以及各种生活基本支出的经济来源断掉了。
对于最需要什么这个问题，那些新的失业者的答案总是两个字：工作。
但是在奥斯博岛，你的第一本能反应是被扶养——如果你能做到，那么是永久的扶养，被一个不得不放纵你的错误的国家支持。
这就像过去的20年——关于找工作更艰难的改革，并且没有福利管理体系。
现在英国的福利体系原则不再是确保人们可以躲避失业的风险并且能在这种灾难发生时收到无条件的补偿。
即使这个1996年产生的短语“待业者的津贴”是将失业者重新定义为“待业者”，意思是对已经通过为国家保险做贡献得到的福利不在有委托管理权。

2006Text 1In spite of “endless talk of difference”，American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is “the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse，and the casualness and absence of deference”characteristic of popular culture. People ar e absorbed into “a culture of consumption” launched by the 19th——century department stores that offered “vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite,” these were stores “anyone cou ld enter, regardless of class or background. This turned shopping into a public and democratic act.” The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization.不管我们如何喋喋不休地谈论差别，美国社会实际上是一台同化人们的神奇的机器。
这就是民主化的着装和言谈，并且还有种随意和缺乏尊重感，这些构成了通俗文化的特性。
人们被一种消费文化所吸引了，这种文化是由十九世纪在高雅的氛围中陈列着琳琅满目的商品的百货商店所开始的。
他们不是为了迎合有知识的精英们而开设的专门商店，而是创建了“不分阶层和背景人人都可以进入”的大众商店。
这使得购物成为一种大众的、民主的行为。
大众传媒、广告和体育也是协助人们均质化的推动力。
Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today's immigration is neither at unprecedented levels nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population; in 1900, 13.6 percent .In the 10 years prior to 1990, 3.1 immigrants arrived for every 1，000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1, 000. Now, consider three indices of assimilation–language, home ownership and intermarriage.尽管这种文化并不算高雅，但也算不上有害，移民们很快就融入了这种共同文化。
Gregory Rodriguez为美国移民研讨会撰文指出，今天的移民既不是处于空前的水平，也不抵制同化。
在1998年，移民占全国人口的9.8%；在1900年为13.6%。
在1990年以前的十年之中，在每千位居民当中，有千分之3.1的新来的移民；而在1890年以前的十年之中，每千位居民当中就有千分之9.2的移民。
现在，让我们来看一下三个同化指标——语言、拥有产权住房和异族结婚情况。
The 1990 Census revealed that “a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries of origin spoke English “well” or “very well” after ten years of residence.” The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. “By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majorit y of immigrant families.” Hence the description of America as a “graveyard” for languages. By 1996 foreign–born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a homeownership rate of 75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans. 1990年的人口普查透露：“来自十五个移民数量最多的国家的移民在到美国十年后英语说得‘好’或‘很好’。
”移民的子女几乎都说两种语言，且精通英语。
“到了第三代，在大多数移民家庭，他们的母语就消失了。
”因此，有人就把美国描述成了“语言的坟场”。
到了1996年，出生于国外的、在1970年以前到达美国的移民有75.6%购置了自己的住房，这个数字高出土生土长的美国人的拥有自己所有权住房的百分比——69.8%。
Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics “have higher rates o f intermarriage than do U.S–born whites and blacks.” By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian–American women are married to non-Asians.在国外出生的亚裔和西班牙裔移民“与美国本土白人和黑人相比，与异族通婚的比率要高。
”到了第三代，有三分之一的西班牙裔女性与非西班牙裔男性结婚，而有41%亚裔美国妇女与非亚裔男性结婚。
Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet “some Americans fear that immigrant living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation’s assimilative power.”罗得里格斯写道，即使那些住在世界各地偏僻村庄的孩子们都是诸如阿诺.施瓦辛格和加思.布鲁克斯等明星的星迷，然而“一些美国人却害怕住在美国的移民不知为何能不受这个国家的同化力量的影响”。
Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? Indeed. It is big enough to have a bit of everyth ing. But particularly when viewed against America‘s turbulent past, today’s social induces hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.在美国是否存在不和以及潜在的不安？答案是肯定的，因为这个国家足够大以至于什么现象都存在。
但是与美国动荡狂暴的过去相比，如今的社会基本不能说明美国的社会环境正变得黑暗，且正在恶化。
Text 2Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry-William Shakespeare-but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. There is the Royal Shakespeare Company （RSC）, which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, Shakespeare’s birthplace and the other sights.众所周知Stratford-on-Avon只有一个特色,那就是威廉•莎士比亚,但这儿却有两个相互独立的部门,他们随着时间的变化而日益变得敌对。
这儿有皇家莎士比亚公司（RSC），它在Avon的莎士比亚纪念剧院里将很多优秀的戏剧作品呈现给大家。
这儿的居民大部分是靠挣来游玩的游客的钱来维持生计，这些游客并不是来看戏剧的，而是来看Anne Hathaway的庄园，莎士比亚的出生地和其他的景色。
The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. They frankly disl ike the RSC’s actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. It’s all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor （with a beard）and did his share of noise - making.Stratford的当地乡绅们都质疑剧院有没有为当地的税收收入做一点贡献。
