Imagine asking a presidential candidate to sit down for a sensitivity session on gay and lesbian issues. That's exactly what we did last week in Austin，Texas. George W. Bush invited us，a dozen gay Republicans，after he'd refused to meet with a gay Republican group that had criticized him. Our meeting set an important precedent：never again will a major-party candidate be able to run for president without addressing gay and lesbian issues.Bush didn't like everything we had to say. I was struck by his lack of familiarity with the issues，as well as by his desire to learn. I described how my partner，Rob Morris，and I have been in a 17-year relationship. We both come from healthy，strong，religious families. Rob grew up in a conservative Republican family in Georgia; I come from a longtime Republican family in Wisconsin. I'm now the vice president of my Lutheran church. I wanted Governor Bush to understand that long-term，loving relationships，stable families，strong faith-based traditions and Republican voting histories are all part of the gay and lesbian community.Our stories had an impact. Bush admitted that，growing up in Texas，he had not been as open to elements of America's diverse culture. He had a narrow set of friends and a firm set of traditions. But he was surprised and dismayed to hear that people saw him as intolerant. “What have I said that sent that signal?”he asked repeatedly. We confronted him about his reported statement that if you were openly gay or lesbian you would not be considered for a job in his administration. “I never said that，”he insisted，assuring us he would hire gays and lesbians who both were qualified and shared his political views.Our perspective was clearly eye-opening to him. When one of us talked about his lesbian sister and her partner adopting children，the governor acknowledged his often-stated belief that gays should not adopt. “Now you're telling me of a very loving，caring relationship，”he said. “I really appreciate hearing that.”We stressed that a Bush administration could not roll back any of the progress made in recent years. We talked about AIDS funding and research. Though Bush was attentive——and does show a willingness to hear all sides——I don't think we changed his positions. He still opposes gay marriage and classifying crimes against gays as hate crimes. To be honest，Bush still has a long way to go. But I think he's a lot farther along today than he was last week.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek，04/24/2000，p43注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2003年真题Text 41.

When Gina Garro and Brian Duplisea adopted 4-month-old Andres from Colombia last month，they were determined to take time off from work to care for him. Six years ago，after their daughter，Melina，was born，the family scraped by on Duplisea's $36，000 salary as a construction worker so Garro，a special-education teacher，could stay home. Now，since Garro's job furnishes the family health insurance，she'll head back to work this fall while Duplisea juggles diapers and baby bottles. His boss agreed to the time off——but he will have to forgo his $18-an-hour pay. It won't be easy. Though Garro's $40，000 salary will cover their mortgage，the couple will have to freeze their retirement accounts，scale back on Melina's after-school activities——and pray that nothing goes wrong with the car. “It takes away from your cushion and your security，”says Garro. “Things will be tight.”The 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act was supposed to help families like Garro's，offering a safety net to employees who want to take time off to nurture newborns，tend to their own major illnesses or care for sick relatives. But while the law guarantees that workers won't lose their jobs，it doesn't cover their paychecks. One survey last year showed that while 24 million Americans had taken leaves since 1999，2.7 million more wanted to，but couldn't afford it. That may change soon. In response to increasing demands from voters，at least 25 states are now exploring new ways to offer paid leave. One possibility：tapping state disability funds. A handful of states——New York，New Jersey，California，Rhode Island and Hawaii——already dip into disability money to offer partial pay for women on maternity leave. But that doesn't help dads or people caring for elderly parents. New Jersey and New York may soon expand disability programs to cover leave for fathers and other caretakers. Thirteen states，including Arizona，Illinois and Florida，have proposed using unemployment funds to pay for leave.Massachusetts has been especially creative. When the state's acting governor，Jane Swift，gave birth to twin daughters in May，she drew attention to the issue with her own “working maternity leave”：she telecommuted part-time but earned her usual full-time salary. Even before Swift returned to work last week，the state Senate unanimously passed a pilot plan that would use surplus funds from a health-insurance program for the unemployed to give new parents 12 weeks off at half pay. Another plan，proposed in the House，would require employers to kick in $20 per worker to set up a “New Families Trust Fund.”Businesses would get tax credits in return. This week Swift is expected to announce her own paid-leave plan for lower-income mothers and fathers. Polls show widespread public support——another reason Swift and other politicians across the country have embraced the issue.Still，not everyone's wild about the idea. People without children question why new parents ——the first group to get paid leave under many of the proposed plans——should get moregovernment perks than they do. Business groups are resistant to proposals that would raid unemployment funds; several have already filed suit to block them. As the economy slows，many companies say they can't afford to contribute to proposed new benefit funds either. Business lobbyists say too many employees already abuse existing federal family-leave laws by taking time off for dubious reasons or in tiny time increments. The proposed laws，they say，would only make matters worse.For Garro and Duplisea，though，the new laws could make all the difference. As Melina fixes a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich，Duplisea hugs a snoozing Andres against his T shirt. “We're trying to do the right thing by two kids，and we have to sacrifice，”Duplisea says. In Massachusetts and plenty of other states，help may be on the way.注(1) 本文选自Newsweek;8/27/2001，V ol. 138 Issue 9，p46，1p，1c注(2) 本文习题命题模仿对象是1997年真题text 1(1，2，3，5题)，第4题模仿1997年真题text 3 的第2题。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（5）Every time Americans tune into local news broadcasts or read daily papers，they are likely to be shocked at the increasing number of serious crimes committed by youths who are only sixteen years old or even younger.It is sometimes difficult to imagine these youngsters behaving like hardened criminals，but statistics continually prove that their crimes are often just as brutal as those committed by their adult counterparts.Inevitably，people begin questioning how successful the juvenile justice system is in reforming these youths and debating whether violent juveniles should be tried as adults in our legal system.I feel there is no question that juveniles convicted of serious crimes should face the same consequences as adults.While the teenage population in the United States has declined over the past decade，violent crimes committed by juveniles have sharply increased.It is common knowledge that the youth murder-arrest rate has climbed dramatically.Examples of teen crime are vivid and terrifying.Newspapers and television frequently report that youths with no apparent motives have shot and killed other people.The effect on both families and society is large.Despite the increase in serious crimes committed by young offenders，the punishment which juveniles receive has traditionally almost never fit the severity of the crimes.Since the system has historically viewed children as not being fully developed，physically or mentally，it has prevented them from being held accountable for their wrongdoing.Although many of these“children”commit horrible crimes，they have been routinely treated as victims of society.Until very recently，1ighter sentences and court proceedings have been the norm.The message they sent to serious juvenile criminals is that crime “pays”because there are no serious consequences for their actions.When the system lacks an element of fear，there is nothing to prevent youthful offenders from committing future crimes.The current trend of assigning adult sentences to youths who commit serious crimes is absolutely just if the punishment is to fit the crime.Most pro-rehabilitation advocates argue that juvenile criminals are completely different from adult ones and should，therefore，be treated differently in the justice system.However，the cost to society is the same regardless of the age of the criminal.What comfort does it give to the family of a killed or injured victim that the person who killed or hurt their loved one was a minor? Families suffer no less because their relatives are shot by young offenders.Instead of treating the loser who murders innocent people like a victim of society，this person should be treated like any other person who victimizes society and causes pain to individuals and communities.Tougher measures must be taken to combat this growing problem of juvenile crime.In today‘s society，too many juveniles count on light sentences given by the juvenile justice wyers can help a vicious criminal receive a short sentence，and return to the streets tocommit more crimes.When there are no harsh consequences of being caught，committing crimes can be perceived as having positive benefits.As a result，juveniles are continuing to become more violent and 1ess concerned with the value of human life.Rehabilitation，recommended by many as the solution to juvenile crime，should be directed only towards youths who have committed minor offenses.However，the juveniles who commit serious crimes should be tried as adults.A message has to be sent that we will no longer tolerate brutal crimes simply because of the age of the criminal.These youths must be held completely accountable for their crimes，suffering harsh consequences and ultimately realizing that they are no longer protected by the law.1.It can be inferred that juvenile criminals are those____.[A]who are under the age of 16 years old[B]who are not accountable for the crimes they commit[C]who can not tell major crimes from minor crimes[D]who are more likely to become victims of the society2.That violent juvenile crimes are on the rise is manifested by the fact that____.[A]penalty for juvenile criminals is becoming more and more serious[B]the society can no longer tolerate juvenile crimes[C]youth murder-arrest rate has dramatically increased[D]the young population has increased in the last ten years3.The reason why young people are becoming increasingly violent is that____.[A]the older they become，the stronger they are[B]they receive lighter punishment than they should[C]they do not know the value of human life[D]there is now too much violence in newspaper and on television4.According to the author，one reason why violent juvenile criminals should suffer the same fate as their adult counterparts is that____.[A]there are as many juvenile crimes as adult crimes[B]they have done equivalent injuries to the victim or the society[C]they are clearly aware of what they are doing at the time of offence[D]no other penalty can prevent them from committing future crimes5.Pro-rehabilitation advocates insist that____.[A]rehabilitation be directed only towards youths who commit minor crimes[B]stricter sentences be given only to youths who commit brutal crimes[C]a different justice system be applied to minors since they are not fully developed[D]minors be held completely responsible for any kind of crimes they commit答案与题解1.[A] 参阅第一段第一句。

In this week's Nature，a group of zoologists led by Andrew Whiten of the University of St Andrews in Scotland and Christophe Boesch of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig，Germany，have provided that evidence. They have synthesised the results from seven chimpanzee-research centres scattered across Africa，and shown that chimps can，indeed，do more than just pass on the odd behaviour pattern here and there. Individual groups of chimps exhibit behavioural“complexes'' that are recognisably different from those of other groups，yet seem to have no connection with environmental or genetic differences between the groups. If that is not culture，it is difficult to think what is.The problem that confronted Dr Whiten and Dr Boesch was how to disentangle which of chimpanzees' many behaviour patterns are genetically instinctive，which are learnt by individuals in isolation (and so are not cultural，because not copied from others) and which are culturally transmitted (by animals copying one another)。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：哲学类（4）Many critics of the current welfare system argue that existing welfare regulations lead to family instability.They believe that those regulations，which exclude most poor husband-and-wife families from Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) assistance grants，contribute to the problem of family dissolution.Thus，they conclude that expanding the set of families that can eligibly get such grants would result in a marked strengthening of the low-income family structure.If all poor families could receive welfare，would the incidence of instability change markedly? The answer to this question depends on the relative importance of three types of potential welfare recipients.The first is the“cheater”—the husband who is reported to have abandoned his family，but in fact disappears only when the social worker is in the neighborhood.The second consists of a loving husband and devoted father who，sensing his own inadequacy as a family supporter，leaves so that his wife and children may enjoy the relative benefit provided by public assistance.There is very little evidence that these two types are significant.The third type is the unhappily married couple，who remain together out of a sense of economic responsibility for their children，because of the high costs of separation，or because of the consumption benefits of marriage.This group is large.The formation，maintenance，and dissolution of the family is in large part a function of the relative balance between the benefits and costs of marriage as seen by the individual members of the marriage.Since the family performs certain functions society regards as vital，a complex network of social and legal process has evolved to reinforce marriage.Much of the variation in marital stability across income classes can be explained by the variation in costs of dissolution imposed by society，such as division of property，and child support.Marital stability is related to the costs of achieving an acceptable agreement on family consumption and production and to the prevailing social price of instability in the marriage partners‘social-economic group.Expected income exerts pressures on family instability by reducing the cost of dissolution.To the extent that welfare is a form of government-subsidized AFDC payments，it reduces the costs of separation and guarantees a minimal standard of living for wife and children.So welfare opportunities are a significant determinant of family instability in poor neighborhoods，but this is not the result of AFDC regulations that exclude most intact families from coverage.Rather，welfare-related instability occurs because public assistance lowers both the benefits of marriage and the costs of its breach by providing a system of government-subsidized payments.1.Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?[A] Welfare restrictions do not contribute to low-income family instability.[B] The most significant kind of welfare recipients is not the“cheating”father.[C] The divorce rate is bound to fall when welfare benefits are cut.[D] Government welfare payments lead directly to growing divorce rate.2.The tone of the passage can best be described as____.[A] confident and optimistic[B] scientific and detached[C] discouraged and alarmed[D] polite and sensitive3.All of the following are mentioned by the author as factors tending to sustain a marriage EXCEPT____.[A] the social class of the married couple[B] the cost involved in divorce[C] the loss of property upon divorce[D] the greater consumption possibilities of married people4.With which of the following statements about marriage would the author most likely agree?[A] Marriage is largely shaped by powerful but impersonal economic and social forces.[B] Marriage has a greater value to higher income groups.[C] Society has no interest in encouraging people to remain married to one another.[D] Marriage will gradually give way to other forms of social organization.5.The passage would most likely be found in a____.[A] basic economics text[B] book on the history of welfare[C] religious literature on the importance of marriage[D] scholarly journal devoted to public policy questions参考答案：1.[A] 文章第一段先引出对现行福利政策持批评态度的人的观点，他们认为现行政策引起了家庭的分裂。

OnePart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1Not long after the telephone was invented,I assume,a call was placed.The caller was a parent saying,“your child is bullying my child,and I want it stopped!”The bully's parent replied,“you must have the wrong number.My child is a little angel.”A trillion phone calls later,the conversation is the same.When children are teased or tyrannized,the parental impulse is to grab the phone and rant.But these days,as studies in the U.S.show bullying on the rise and parental supervision on the decline,researchers who study bullying say that calling moms and dads is more futile than ever.Such calls often lead to playground recriminations and don't really teach our kids any lessons about how to navigate the world and resolve conflicts.When you call parents,you want them to“extract the cruelty”from their bullying children,says Laura Kavesh,a child psychologist in Evanston,Illinois.“But many parents are blown away by the idea of their child being cruel.They won t believe it.”In a recent police department survey in Oak Harbor,Washington,89%of local high school students said they had engaged in bullying behavior.Yet only18%of parents thought their children would act as bullies.In a new U.S.PTA survey,5%of parents support contacting other parents to deal with bullying.But many educators warn that those conversations can be misinterpreted,causing tempers to flare.Instead,they say,parents should get objective outsiders,like principals,to mediate.Meanwhile,if you get a call from a parent who is angry about your child's bullying,listen without getting defensive.That's what Laura McHugh of Castro Valley,California,did when a caller told her that her then13-year-old son had spit in another boy's food.Her son had confessed,but the victim's mom“wanted to make sure my son hadn't given her son a nasty disease,”says McHugh,who apologized and promised to get her son tested for AIDS and other diseases.She knew the chance of contracting any disease this way was remote,but her promise calmed the mother and showed McHugh's son that his bad behaviour was being taken seriously.McHugh,founder of Parents Coach Kids,a group that teaches parenting skills, sent the mom the test results.All were negative.Remember:once you make a call,you might not like what you hear.If you have an itchy dialing finger,resist temptation.Put it in your pocket.［419words］1.The word“bullying”probably

2017考研英语阅读理解冲刺模拟试题及答案（5）

2017考研英语阅读理解冲刺模拟试题及答案（5）店铺考研网为大家提供2017考研英语阅读理解冲刺模拟试题及答案(5)，更多考研资讯请关注我们网站的更新!2017考研英语阅读理解冲刺模拟试题及答案(5)Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever morecunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous, boring, burdensome, or justplain nasty. That compulsion has resulted in robotics — the scienceof conferring various human capabilities on machines. And if scientists haveyet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun tocome close.As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligentgizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence hasremoved much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assemblyarms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us withmechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled bytireless robot-drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization ofelectronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that canperform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy — far greaterprecision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone.But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility,they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make atleast a few decisions for themselves — goals that pose areal challenge. “While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error,” says DaveLavery, manager of a robotic s program at NASA, “we can't yet give arobot enough‘common sense’ to reliably interact with a dynamicworld.”Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced verymixed results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s whenit appeared that transistor circuits and microprocessors might be able to copythe action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begunto extend that forecast by decades if not centuries.What they found, in attempting to model thought, is that the humanbrain's roughly one hundred billion nerve cells are much more talented — and humanperception far more complicated —than previously imagined. They have built robots that can recognizethe error of a machine panel by a fraction of a millimeter in a controlledfactory environment. But the human mind can glimpse a rapidly changing sceneand immediately disregard the 98 percent that is irrelevant, instantaneouslyfocusing on the monkey at the side of a winding forest road or the singlesuspicious face in a big crowd. The most advanced computer systems on Earthcan't approach that kind of ability, and neuroscientists still don't know quitehow we do it.26. Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in[A]the use of machines to produce science fiction.[B]the wide use of machines in manufacturing industry.[C]the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous work.[D]the elite's cunning tackling of dangerous and boring work.27. The word “gizmos" (line 1, paragraph 2) most probably means[A]programs. [B]experts. [C]devices. [D]creatures.28.

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：哲学类（12）The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘Palaeolithic Man’，‘Neolithic Man’，etc.，neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century，they will surely choose the label ‘Legless Man’。

Histories of the time will go something like this：‘in the twentieth century，people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars，buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of their extraordinary way of life. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time because of their extraordinary way of life. In those days，people thought nothing of traveling hundreds of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways，ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the pr esence of large car parks. ‘The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another，we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird‘s-eye view of the world –or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers，in particular，are forever obsessed with the urge to go on and on：they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways，or what? And as for sea travel，it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song：’I joined the navy to see the world，and what did I see? I saw the sea.‘The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says ’I‘ve been there. ’You mention the remotest，most evocative place-names in the world like El Dorado，Kabul，Irkutsk and someone is bound to say ‘I’ve been there‘–meaning，’I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else. ‘When you travel at high speeds，the present means nothing：you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival，when it is achieved，is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this，you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality：you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot，on the other hand，lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing：he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes，his ears and the whole of his body. At the end ofhis journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his：the just reward of all true travellers.1、Anthropologists label nowaday‘s men ’Legless‘becauseA people forget how to use his legs.B people prefer cars，buses and trains.C lifts and escalators prevent people from walking.D there are a lot of transportation devices.2、Travelling at high speed meansA people‘s focus on the future.B a pleasure.C satisfying drivers‘great thrill.D a necessity of life.3、Why does the author say ‘we are deprived of the use of our eyes’?A People won‘t use their eyes.B In traveling at high speed，eyes become useless.C People can‘t see anything on his way of travel.D People want to sleep during travelling.4、What is the purpose of the author in writing this passage?A Legs become weaker.B Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.C There is no need to use eyes.D The best way to travel is on foot.5. What does ‘a bird’s-eye view‘mean?A See view with bird‘s eyes.B A bird looks at a beautiful view.C It is a general view from a high position looking down.D A scenic place.VOCABULARY1.Palaeolithic 旧石器时代的2.Neolithic 新石器时代的3.escalator 自动电梯，自动扶梯4.ski-lift 载送滑雪者上坡的装置5.mar 损坏，毁坏6.blur 模糊不清，朦胧7.smear 涂，弄脏，弄模糊(尤指画面、轮廓等)8.evocative 引起回忆的，唤起感情的9.El Dorado (由当时西班牙征服者想象中的南美洲)黄金国，宝山，富庶之乡10.Kabul 喀布尔(阿富汗首都)11.Irkutsk 伊尔库茨克(原苏联亚洲城市)难句译注与答案详解The only way to travel is on foot 旅游的唯一方法是走路难句译注1.Air travel gives you a bird‘s-eye view of the world –or even if the wing of the aircrafthappens to get in your way.【参考译文】飞机旅行，你只可俯视世界――如果机翼碰巧挡住了你的视线，就看得更少了。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（22）Few lawyers did more to help George W. Bush become president than Barry Richard. As Bush's quarterback in the Florida courts during last fall's bruising recount，the white-maned Tallahassee，Fla.，litigator became a familiar figure to TV audiences. He got the GOP equivalent of rock-star treatment when he came to Washington last January for Bush's Inauguration. At one ball，recalls law partner Fred Baggett，a heavyset Texas woman lifted Richard off the floor and planted a big kiss on his cheek，exclaiming，“I love you for giving us our president!”But Richard has discovered that the Bushies' gratitude has its limits. More than four months after the U.S. Supreme Court ended the 2000 election，he and his firm，Greenberg Traurig，are still owed more than $800，000 in legal fees. The firm，which sent 39 lawyers and 13 paralegals into court battles all over the state，is one of a dozen that have so far been stiffed. The estimated total tab：more than $2 million. The situation，NEWSWEEK has learned，has gotten increasingly sticky. While lawyers complain privately about foot dragging (Richard says he's not among them)，Bush advisers are griping about “astronomical”bills——including one from a litigator who charged for more than 24 hours of work in a single day. “What you've got here is a bunch of rich lawyers bellyaching，”says one former Bush campaign official. “Yet these guys got huge in-kind contributions to their reputations out of this.”The lawyers were supposed to get their money from the Bush Recount Committee， a fund-raising vehicle set up when the Florida fight began. A nebulous entity not legally required to disclose how it spent its money，the committee and its chief fund-raiser，Texas oilman (and now Commerce secretary) Don Evans，swiftly collected $8.3 million——more than twice the $3.9 million Al Gore's recount committee raised to pay its lawyers. To avoid charges that the recount was being bankrolled by special interests，the Bushies imposed a $5，000 cap on individual donations，a PR gesture they now regret. After paying off caterers，air charters and the army of GOP Hill types who came to Florida as “observers，”the “kitty ran dry，”says one source.The Bush camp says it intends to pay up. But Ben Ginsberg，the former chief campaign counsel who has inherited the mess，hasn't yet figured out how. As for the law firms，they are taking pains not to alienate their deadbeat clients，for fear of damaging their burgeoning Washington lobbying practices. Greenberg Traurig now represents electric power companies，drug manufacturers and Internet gambling interests willing to pay big money for access to policymakers. Whether Richard and company collect or not，that $800，000 could end up being a smart investment.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek; 04/23/2001，V ol. 137 Issue 17，p28，2/3p，1c注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象是1995年真题text 3(1，2，3，5题)，第4题模仿1995年真题text 4 的第1题。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（11）Since 1975 advocates of humane treatment of animals have broadened their goals to oppose the use of animals for fur，leather，wool and food.They have moaned protests against all forms of hunting and the trapping of animals in the wild.And they have joined environmentalists in urging protection of natural habitats from commercial or residential development.The occasion for these added emphases was the publication in 1975 of Animal Liberation：A New Ethics for Our Treatment ofAnimals by Peter Singer，formerly a professor ofphUosophy at Oxford University in England.This book gave a new impetus to the animal rights movement.The post 1 975 animal rights activists are far more vocal than theirpredecessors，and the organizations to which they belong are generally more radical.Many new organizations are formed.The tactics of the activists are designed to catch the attention of the public.Since the mid 1 980s there have been frequent newsreports about animal rights organizations picketing stores that sell furs，harassing hunters in the wild，or breaking into laboratories to free animals.Some of the more extreme organizations advocate the use of assault，armed terrorism，and death threats to make their point.Aside from making isolated attacks on people who wear fur coats or trying to prevent hunters from killing animals，most of the organizations have directed their tactics at institutions.The results of the protests and other tactics have been panies are reducing reliance on animal testing.Medical research has been somewhat curtailed by legal restrictions and the reluctance of younger workers to use animals in research.New tests have been developed to replace the use of animals.Some well—known designers have stopped using fur.While the general public tends to agree that animals should be treated humanely，most people are unlikely to give up eating meat or wearing goods made from leather and wool. Giving up genuine fur has become less of a problem，since fibers used to makefake fur such as the Japanese invention Kanecaron can look almost identical to real fur.Some of the strongest opposition to the animal rights movement has come from hunters and their organizations.But animal rights activists have succeeded in marshaling public opinion to press for state restrictions on hunting in several parts of the nation.1.1 975 was an important year in the history of animal treatment because[A]many people began to call for humane treatment of animals that year[B]a new book was published that broadened the animal rights movement[C]the environmentalists began to show interest in animal protection[D]the trapping of animals began to go wild all through the world2.Some animal rights organizations advocate the use of extreme means in order to[A]wipe out cruel people [B]stop using animals in the laboratory[C]attack hunters in the wild [D]catch full public attention3.By saying“the results ofthe protests and other tactics have been mixed”(Line 1，Para.3)，the author means[A]the protest and other tactics have produced desired effects[B]the protest and other tactics almost amounted to nothing[C]the protest and other tactics have some influence on the public[D]the protest and other tactics have proved to be too radical4.The word“marshaling”(Line 5，Para.4)probably means[A]conducting [B]popularizing [C]changing [D]outraging5.It seems that the author ofthis article[A]is strongly opposed to the animal rights movement[B]is in favor ofthe animal rights movement[C]supports the use of violence in animal protection[D]hatestheuse offakefurfor clothes核心词汇advocate n.提倡者philosophy n.哲学predecessor n.前辈tactics n.策略identical adj.同样的oppose vt.反对impetus.促进radicaladj.激进的reliance n.依赖publication .出版vocaladj.有声的assault n.攻击fake adj.假的号召人道对待动物的倡导者们从1975年起将自己的目标扩大到反对利用动物来获取毛皮、皮革、毛织品和食品的行为。

2017年考研英语模拟阅读五-考研模拟及答案解析

2017年考研英语模拟阅读五PassageIn 1960-1961, Chad (乍得) harvested 9800 tons of cotton seed for the first time in its history, and put out the flag a little too soon. The efforts of the authorities to get the peasants back to work, as they had slacked off (松懈) a great deal the previous year during independence celebrations, largely contributed to it. Also, rains were well spaced, and continued through the whole month of October. If the 1961-1962 total is back to the region of 45000 tons, it is mostly because efforts slackened again and sowing was started too late.The average date of sowing is about July 1st. If this date is simply moved up fifteen or twenty days, 30000 to 60000 tons of cotton are gained, depending on the year. The peasant in Chad sows his millet (小米) first, and it is hard to criticize this instinctive priority given to his daily bread. An essential reason for his lateness with sowing cotton is that at the time when he should leave to prepare the fields he has just barely sold the cotton of the previous season. The work required to sow, in great heat, is psychologically far more difficult if one's pockets are full of money. The date of cotton sales should therefore be moved forward as much as possible, and purchasesof equipment and draught animals encouraged.Peasants should also be encouraged to save money, to help them through the difficult period between harvests. If necessary they should be forced to do so, by having the payments for cotton given to them in installments (分期付款). The last payment would be made after proof that the peasant has planted before the deadline, the date being advanced to the end of June. Those who have done so would receive extra money whereas the last planters would not receive their last payment until later. Only the first steps are hard, because once work has started the peasants continue willingly on their way. Educational campaigns among the peasants will play an essential role in this basic advance, early sowing, on which all the others depend. It is not a matter of controlling the peasants. Each peasant will remain master of his fields. One could, however, suggest the need for the time being of kind but firm rule, which, as long as it cannot be realized by the people, should at least be for the people.1. In 1960-1961, Chad had a good harvest of cotton because .A) the government greatly encouraged peasantsB) rains favored the growth of cotton。

Hidden valley looks a lot like the dozens of other camps that dot the woods of central Maine. There's a lake，some soccer fields and horses. But the campers make the difference. They're all American parents who have adopted kids from China. They're at Hidden Valley to find bridges from their children's old worlds to the new. Diana Becker of Montville，Maine，watches her 3-year-old daughter Mika dance to a Chinese version of “Twinkle，Twinkle Little Star.”“Her soul is Chinese，”she says，“but really she's growing up American.”Hidden Valley and a handful of other “culture camps”serving families with children from overseas reflect the huge rise in the number of foreign adoptions，from 7，093 in 1990 to 15，774 last year. Most children come from Russia (4，491last year) and China (4，206) but there are also thousands of others adopted annually from South America，Asia and Eastern Europe. After cutting through what can be miles of red tape，parents often come home to find a new dilemma. “At first you think，'I need a child'，”says Sandy Lachter of Washington，D.C.，who with her husband，Steve，adopted Amelia，5，from China in 1995. “Then you think，'What does the child need?' ”The culture camps give families a place to find answers to those kinds of questions. Most grew out of local support groups; Hidden Valley was started last year by the Boston chapter of Families with Children from China，which includes 650 families. While parents address weighty issues like how to raise kids in a mixed-race family，their children just have fun riding horses，singing Chinese songs or making scallion pancakes. “My philosophy of camping is that they could be doing anything，as long as they see other Chinese kids with white parents，”says the director，Peter Kassen，whose adopted daughters Hope and Lily are 6 and 4.The camp is a continuation of language and dance classes many of the kids attend during the year. “When we rented out a theater for 'Mulan，' it was packed，”says Stephen Chen of Boston，whose adopted daughter Lindsay is 4. Classes in Chinese language，art and calligraphy are taught by experts，like Renne Lu of the Greater Boston Chinese Cultural Center. “Our mission is to preserve the heritage，”Lu says.Kids who are veteran campers say the experience helps them understand their complex heritage. Sixteen-year-old Alex was born in India and adopted by Kathy and David Brinton of Boulder，Colo.，when he was 7. “I went through a stage where I hated India，hated everything about it，”he says. “You just couldn't mention India to me.”But after six sessions at the East India Colorado Heritage Camp，held at Snow Mountain Ranch in Estes Park，Colo.，he hopes to travel to India after he graduates from high school next year.Camp can be a learning experience for the whole family. Whitney Ning，23，a counselor for four years，says the Korea Heritage Camp helped her become closer to her parents. “They were hesitant at first，”she says，“but when they saw how much it meant to me，they became very supportive.”Sometimes the most direct route around the world is across a campfire.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek; 10/04/99，p75;注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题Text 1;1.

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（14）One of the most exciting and enriching experiences a person can have is that of living abroad.Whether one spends a year away or many，living abroad is the first opportunity one has to stand on the outside of one‘s country and look in，to compare cultures，procedures，mentalities，etc.We’in the U.S.A.do very little REAL travelling abroad，much less living，and this bent toward isolation is probably detrimental to us in the long run.Living abroad，however，works better when it is a choice and not an obligation.I know of several cases in which a few people were persuaded by others that the solutions to their domestic problems lay in living abroad.In these cases，it was the wrong advice.These people were，for the most part，like fish out of the bowl and overall，everything went wrong and only a few things right.What country and what part of the world should one choose ? Here，personal interests and/or curiosity enter the picture.Additionally，one need not think in terms of a single country but two or three.It is easier.of course，to get in and out of a“Western World”or“Christian”country since these usually share our sense of values，also，a country traditionally and firmly considered a political ally is an option.such as Japan.Even it is fairly“westernized”。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：管理学类（6）President Arling has put his long awaited economic restructuring program before the Congress. It provides a coordinated program of investment credits，research grants，education reforms，and tax changes designed to make American industry more competitive. This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment，lack of growth，and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.The most liberal wing of the President‘s party has called for stronger and more direct action. They want an incomes policy to check inflation while federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs.The Republicans，however，decry even the modest，graduated tax increases in the President‘s program. They want tax cuts and more open market. They say if federal money has to be injected into the economy，let it through defence spending.Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic problem before us. It is not simply a matter of markets or financing. The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it. But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy. If an industry cannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances，then it will not be able to compete effectively. If it cannot do this，no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long. Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest，that industry can only fall still further behind its foreign competitors.So the crux is the technology and that is where the President‘s program focused. The danger is not that a plan will not be passed，it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology. The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact. If we fail to restructure our economy now，we may not get a second chance.1.The focus of the President‘s program is on[A] investment.[B] economy.[C] technology.[D] tax.2.What is the requirement of the most liberal wing of the Democratic-party?[A] They want a more direct action.[B] They want an incomes policy to check inflation.[C] They want to rebuild industry.[D] They want a wall of protective tariffs.3.What is the editor‘s attitude?[A] support.[B] distaste.[C] Disapproval.[D] Compromise.4.The danger to the plan lies in[A] the two parties‘objection.[B] different idea of the two parties about the plan.[C] its passage.[D] distortion.5.The passage is[A] a review.[B] a preface.[C] a advertisement.[D] an editorial.V ocabulary1.reverse 逆转2.slide 滑坡3.plague 瘟疫;折磨，困扰4.tariff 关税5.decry 谴责，诋毁6.lever 杠杆;用杠杆撬动7.crux 症结8.ideologue 空想家，思想家9.intact 原封不动的，完整无损的10.investment credit 投资信贷11.research grant 研究基金难句译注1.This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment，lack of growth，and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.【参考译文】这对扭转经济滑坡;滑到失业高，增长少和已经困扰经济达6年之久贸易赤字来说是必要的。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（6）For hundreds of years，the criminal law has been built around the idea that wrongdoers must be punished for their crimes.The most basic argument for punishment is that it preserves law and order and respects for authority.From this point of view，punishment does two things.It upholds the law，and it prevents others from thinking they can get away with doing the same thing without punishment.Punishment is based on the idea that many people have a barely controlled desire to act in forbidden ways.One of the best ways to reduce crime is to reform or rehabilitate habitual criminals.The main problem is not the first offender or the petty thief but the repeated offender who commits increasingly serious crimes.According to criminologists，crime would decrease greatly if all such offenders could be turned away from wrongdoing.But U.S.prisons have had little success in rehabilitating inmates.About two-thirds of the people arrested in any year have a previous criminal record.Rehabilitation of criminals could probably be improved greatly if experts could provide the right kind of program for different types of offenders.Criminals vary widely in the kinds of crimes they commit，their emotional problems，and their social and economic backgrounds.Not all offenders can be helped by the same treatment.Many require the aid of physicians，psychiatrists，or psychologists.Others respond well to educational or vocational training.In the early 1990s，there were about 1，300，000 criminals in U.S.city，county，state，and federal correctional institutions，and about 500，000 more were out on parole.Society spent more than $15 billion to operate prisons and related institutions yearly，but only a small part of this sum went to provide treatment.Nearly all the funds were used to feed and clothe prisoners and to keep them under control.Since the 1ate 1970s，however，there has been a trend toward punishment rather than rehabilitation of offenders.Prison sentences are longer.Capital punishments have been used more frequently since the U.S.Supreme Court lifted a death penalty ban in 1976.Nevertheless，crime prevention should aim to prevent people from becoming criminals in the first place.Such a goal probably would benefit from reform programs in urban slums.These programs would include improved housing，schools，and recreation programs and increased job opportunities.There are many other ways to reduce crime.People can be educated or persuaded to take greater precautions against crime.They can be taught，for example，how to protect their homes from burglary.Automobile thefts would drop sharply if drivers removed their keys and locked their cars when leaving them.Better lighting helps discourage purse-snatchings and other robberies on city streets and in parks.Many experts believe that strict gun-licensing laws would greatly reduce crime.1.The belief that people tend to behave in forbidden ways____.[A] leads to the formulation of the criminal law[B] makes people value order above all else[C] convinces people that crimes should be eliminated from the society[D]is a false one that should not be taken seriously2.In the second paragraph the author implies____.[A] the U.S.prison system is not working effectively enough to reform criminals[B] the best way to reduce crime rate is to rehabilitate habitual criminals[C] reforming criminals in prison will turn them away from wrongdoing[D] crimes would decrease if people‘s desire could be healthily channeled3.The author speculates that rehabilitation can be made more effective if____.[A] reform is directed to the criminals‘emotional problems[B] rehabilitation is aimed at changing the economic and social environment[C] rehabilitation is facilitated by physicians，psychiatrists or psychologists[D] crimes are dealt with in the ways that suit each kind4.According to the author，punishment is a better means than rehabilitation in reducing crime rate____.[A] so it should be used in place of rehabilitation[B] so stricter sentences are absolutely necessary[C] yet it does not work well in many cases[D] but preventing crime is even more effective5. The author concludes the passage by pointing out that____.[A] the present gun-licensing laws are held responsible for most of the crimes[B] educational failure accounts for most of the present offences[C] more help should be provided for released criminals[D] the long-term reduction of crime rate depends on multiple improvements参考答案：1.[A]意为：导致刑法的制定。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：教育类（14）When it comes to schooling，the Herrera boys are no match for the Herrera girls. Last week，four years after she arrived from Honduras，Martha，20，graduated from Fairfax High School in Los Angeles. She managed decent grades while working 36 hours a week at a Kentucky Fried Chicken. Her sister，Marlin，22，attends a local community college and will soon be a certified nurse assistant. The brothers are a different story. Oscar，17，was expelled two years ago from Fairfax for carrying a knife and later dropped out of a different school. The youngest，Jonathan，15，is now in a juvenile boot camp after running into trouble with the law. “The boys get sidetracked more，”says the kids' mother，Suyapa Landaverde. “The girls are more confident.”This is no aberration. Immigrant girls consistently outperform boys，according to the preliminary findings of a just-completed，five-year study of immigrant children——the largest of its kind，including Latino，Chinese and Haitian kids——by Marcelo and Carola Suarez-Orozco of the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Though that trend holds for U.S.-born kids as well，the reasons for the discrepancy among immigrants are different. The study found that immigrant girls are more adept at straddling cultures than boys. “The girls are able to retain some of the protective features of [their native] culture”because they're kept closer to the hearth，says Marcelo Suarez-Orozco，“while they maximize their acquisition of skills in the new culture”by helping their parents navigate it.Consider the kids' experiences in school. The study found that boys face more peer pressure to adopt American youth culture——the dress，the slang，the disdain for education. They're disciplined more often and，as a result，develop more adversarial relationships with teachers——and the wider society. They may also face more debilitating prejudices. One teacher interviewed for the study said that the “cultural awareness training” she received as part of her continuing education included depictions of Latino boys as “aggressive” and “really macho” and of the girls as “pure sweetness.”Gender shapes immigrant kids' experiences outside school as well. Often hailing from traditional cultures，the girls face greater domestic obligations. They also frequently act as “cultural ambassadors，”translating for parents and mediating between them and the outside world，says Carola Suarez-Orozco. An unintended consequence：“The girls get foisted into a responsible role more than the boys do.”Take Christina Im，18，a junior at Fairfax who arrived from South Korea four years ago. She ranks ninth in a class of 400 students and still finds time to fix dinner for the family and work on Saturdays at her mother's clothing shop. Her brother? “He plays computer games，”says Im.The Harvard study bears a cautionary note：If large numbers of immigrant boys continue to be alienated academically——and to be clear，plenty perform phenomenally——they risk sinking irretrievably into an economic underclass. Oscar Herrera，Martha's dropout brother，may be realizing that. “I'm thinking of returning to school，”he recently told his mother. He ought to look to his sisters for guidance.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek，7/1/2002，p51;注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2005年真题Text 1.1.

On this one point George W. Bush and Al Gore would agree：our schools need more Marilyn Whirrys. For 35 years，Whirry has inspired high school students to think deeply about great literature and to use its devices in their writing. She is the kind of teacher that students come back to visit decades later in her classroom in Manhattan Beach，Calif. Last May a national educators' group named her its Teacher of the Year. And with the nation's public schools planning to hire 2.5 million new teachers over the next decade，Whirry is excited that each presidential candidate is pushing ways to recruit，train and reward better teachers. “They're both talking about teacher quality，”she says. “We have a real opportunity right now.”Bush's plan combines most existing federal funds for professional development and class-size reduction into a flexible new fund for teacher training and recruitment，and he adds $400 million a year in new money. Bush would allow states to spend the funds as they see fit——so long as they establish teacher-accountability systems. This is similar to what Ronald Reagan did in the 1980s. But then，says Emily Feistritzer，president of the Center for Education Information，“the money disappeared.”Under Bush's plan，she says，“I worry that the money won't go where it's intended to once it reaches the states.”Bush would expand funding from $2.4 million to $30 million for the Troops to Teachers program，which places veterans who want to teach in public schools. The program makes use of people like Arthur Moore，who retired in 1994 after 21 years in the Army and knew he wanted to teach. “There are a lot of people who would make excellent teachers but are discouraged by the bureaucracy of the certification process，”says Moore，45，who began teaching fourth grade in Baltimore and now tests students for special education. “Troops to Teachers is an excellent way to tap their potential by lowering the barriers.”Bush would also expand loan forgiveness for math and science majors who teach in needy schools.Gore's plan，endorsed by the teachers' unions，would spend $8 billion over 10 years to help recruit 1 million new teachers，with provisions for college aid，loan forgiveness and signing bonuses. Gore would spend an additional $8 billion to provide raises of as much as $5，000 each to teachers in poor districts that have adopted aggressive plans to improve teacher quality，plus as much as $10，000 each to teachers certified by a national board. Gore would also require states to ensure that all new teachers pass rigorous assessments. Says Feistritzer：“Gore's proposal might be a little excessive in the number of teachers he wants to recruit，but his teacher testing is exactly what we need.”注(1)：本文选自Time;11/06/2000，p88，2/3p，1c注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2005年真题text 1第一题(1)，2001年真题text 4第2题(2)和第3题(4)，text 3第1题(5)和第2题(3)1.
