(40 points)Text 1King Juan Carlos of Spain once insisted “kings don’t abdicate, they dare in their sleep.” But embarrassing scandals and the popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down. So, does the Spanish crisis suggest that monarchy is seeing its last days? Does that mean the writing is on the wall for all European royals, with their magnificent uniforms and majestic lifestyle?The Spanish case provides arguments both for and against monarchy. When public opinion is particularly polarised, as it was following the end of the Franco regime, monarchs can rise above “mere” politics and “embody” a spirit of national unity.It is t his apparent transcendence of politics that explains monarchs’ continuing popularity polarized. And also, the Middle East excepted, Europe is the most monarch-infested region in the world, with 10 kingdoms (not counting Vatican City and Andorra). But unlike their absolutist counterparts in the Gulf and Asia, most royal families have survived because they allow voters to avoid the difficult search for a non-controversial but respected public figure.Even so, kings and queens undoubtedly have a downside. Symbolic of national unity as they claim to be, their very history—and sometimes the way they behave today –embodies outdated and indefensible privileges and inequalities. At a time when Thomas Piketty and other economists are warning of rising inequality and the increasing power of inherited wealth, it is bizarre that wealthy aristocratic families should still be the symbolic heart of modern democratic states.The most successful monarchies strive to abandon or hide their old aristocratic ways. Princes and princesses have day-jobs and ride bicycles, not horses (or helicopters). Even so, these are wealthy families who party with the international 1%, and media intrusiveness makes it increasingly difficult to maintain the right image.While Europe’s monarchies will no doubt be smart enough to survive for some time to come, it is the British royals who have most to fear from the Spanish example.It is only the Queen who has preserved the monarchy’s reputation with her ratherordinary (if well-heeled) granny style. The danger will come with Charles, who has both an expensive taste of lifestyle and a pretty hierarchical view of the world. He has failed to understand that monarchies have largely survived because they provide a service – as non-controversial and non-political heads of state. Charles ought to know that as English history shows, it is kings, not republicans, who are the monarchy’s worst enemies.21. According to the first two Paragraphs, King Juan Carlos of Spain[A] used turn enjoy high public support[B] was unpopular among European royals[C] cased his relationship with his rivals[D]ended his reign in embarrassment22. Monarchs are kept as heads of state in Europe mostly[A] owing to their undoubted and respectable status[B] to achieve a balance between tradition and reality[C] to give voter more public figures to look up to[D]due to their everlasting political embodiment23. Which of the following is shown to be odd, according to Paragraph 4?[A] Aristocrats’ excessive reliance on inherited wealth[B] The role of the nobility in modern democracies[C] The simple lifestyle of the aristocratic families[D]The nobi lity’s adherence to their privileges24. The British royals “have most to fear” because Charles[A] takes a rough line on political issues[B] fails to change his lifestyle as advised[C] takes republicans as his potential allies[D] fails to adapt himself to his future role25. Which of the following is the best title of the text?[A] Carlos, Glory and Disgrace Combined[B] Charles, Anxious to Succeed to the Throne[C] Carlos, a Lesson for All European Monarchs[D]Charles, Slow to React to the Coming ThreatsText 2Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest.California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling particularly one that upsets the old assumption that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies.The court would be recklessly modest if it followed California’s advice. Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justices can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants.They should start by discarding California’s lame argument that exploring the contentsof a smart phone — a vast storehouse of digital information — is similar to, say, rifling through a suspect’s purse. The court has ruled that police don’t violate the Fourth Amendment when they sift through the wallet or pocketbook of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring one’s smart phone is more like entering his or her home. A smart phone may contain an arrestee’s reading history, financial history, medical history and comprehensive records of recent correspondence. The development of “cloud computing,” meanwhile, has made that exploration so much the easier.Americans should take steps to protect their digital privacy. But keeping sensitive information on these devices is increasingly a requirement of normal life. Citizens still have a right to expect private documents to remain private and protected by the Constitution’s prohibition on unreasonable searches.As so often is the case, stating that principle doesn’t ease the challenge of line-drawing. In many cases, it would not be overly onerous for authorities to obtain a warrant to search through phone contents. They could still invalidate Fourth Amendment protections when facing severe, urgent circumstances, and they could take reasonable measures to ensure that phone data are not erased or altered while a warrant is pending. The court, though, may want to allow room for police to cite situations where they are entitled to more freedom.But the justices should not swallow California’s argument whole. New, disruptive technology sometimes demands novel applications of the Constitution’s protections. Orin Kerr, a law professor, compares the explosion and accessibility of digital information in the 21st century with the establishment of automobile use as a virtual necessity of life in the 20th: The justices had to specify novel rules for the new personal domain of the passenger car then; they must sort out how the Fourth Amendment applies to digital information now.26. The Supreme Court will work out whether, during an arrest, it is legitimate to[A] prevent suspects from deleting their phone contents.[B] search for suspects’ mobile phones without a warrant.[C] check suspects’ phone contents without being a uthorized.[D]prohibit suspects from using their mobile phones.27. The author’s attitude toward California’s argument is one of[A] disapproval.[B] indifference.[C] tolerance.[D]cautiousness.28. The author believes that exploring one’s p hone contents is comparable to[A] getting into one’s residence.[B] handling one’s historical records.[C] scanning one’s correspondences.[D] going through one’s wallet.29. In Paragraph 5 and 6, the author shows his concern that[A] principles are hard to be clearly expressed.[B] the court is giving police less room for action.[C] citizens’ privacy is not effectively protected.[D] phones are used to store sensitive information.30. Orin Kerr’s comparison is quoted to indicate that[A] the Constitution should be implemented flexibly.[B] new technology requires reinterpretation of the Constitution.[C]California’s argument violates principles of the Constitution.[D]principles of the Constitution should never be alteredText 3The journal Science is adding an extra round of statistical checks to its peer-review process, editor-in-chief Marcia McNutt announced today. The policy follows similar efforts from other journals, after widespread concern that basic mistakes in data analysis are contributing to the irreproducibility of many published research findings.“Readers must have confidence in the conclusions published in our journal,” writes McNutt in an editorial. Working with the American Statistical Association, the journal has appointed seven experts to a statistics board of reviewing editors(SBoRE). Manuscript will be flagged up for additional scrutiny by the journal’s internal editors, or by its existing Board of Reviewing Editors or by outside peer reviewers. The SBoRE panel will then find external statisticians to review these manuscripts.Asked whether any particular papers had impelled the change, McNutt said: “The creation of the ‘statistics board’ was motivated by concerns broadly with the application of statistics and data analysis in scientific research and is part of Science’s overa ll drive to increase reproducibility in the research we publish.”Giovanni Parmigiani, a biostatistician at the Harvard School of Public Health, a member of the SBoRE group. He says he expects the board to “play primarily an advisory role.” He agreed to join because he “found the foresight behind the establishment of the SBoRE to be novel, unique and likely to have a lasting impact. This impact will not only be through the publications in Science itself, but hopefully through a larger group of publishing places that may want to model their approach after Science.”John Ioannidis, a physician who studies research methodology, says that the policy is “a most welcome step forward” and “long overdue.” “Most journals are weak in statistical review, and this damages the quality of what they publish. I think that, for the majority of scientific papers nowadays, statistical review is more essential than expert review,” he says. But he noted that biomedical journals such as Annals of Internal Medicine, the Journal of the American Medical Association and The Lancet pay strong attention to statistical review.Professional scientists are expected to know how to analyze data, but statistical errors are alarmingly common in published research, according to David Vaux, a cell biologist. Researchers should improve their standards, he wrote in 2012, but journals should also take a tougher line, “engaging reviewers who are statistically literate and editors who can verify the process”. Vaux says that Science’s idea to pass some papers to statisticians “has some merit, but a weakness is that it relies on the board of reviewing editors to identify ‘the papers that need scrutiny’ in the first place”.31. It can be learned from Paragraph 1 that[A] Science intends to simplify their peer-review process.[B] journals are strengthening their statistical checks.[C] few journals are blamed for mistakes in data analysis.[D] lack of data analysis is common in research projects.32. The phrase “flagged up” (Para. 2) is the closest in meaning to[A] found.[B] marked.[C] revised.[D] stored.33. Giovanni Parmigiani believes that the establishment of the SBoRE may[A] pose a threat to all its peers.[B] meet with strong opposition.[C] increase Science’s circulation.[D]set an example for other journals.34. David Vaux holds that what Science is doing now[A] adds to researchers’ workload.[B] diminishes the role of reviewers.[C] has room for further improvement.[D]is to fail in the foreseeable future35. Which of the following is the best title of the text?[A] Science Joins Push to Screen Statistics in Papers.[B] Professional Statisticians Deserve More Respect[C] Data Analysis Finds Its Way onto Editors’ Desks[D] Statisticians Are Coming Back with ScienceText 4Two years ago, Rupert Murdoch’s daughter ,Elisabeth ,spoke of the “unsettling dearth of integrity across so many of our institutions” Integrity had collapsed, she argued, because of a collective acceptance that the only “sorting mechanism ”in society should be profit and the market .But “it’s us ,human beings ,we the people who create the society we want ,not profit ”.Driving her point home, sh e continued: “It’s increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose, of a moral language within government, media or business could become one of the most dangerous foals for capitalism and freedom.” This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International ,shield thought ,making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking .As the hacking trial concludes –finding guilty ones-editor of the News of the World, Andy Coulson, for conspiring to hack phones ,and finding his predecessor, Rebekah Brooks, innocent of the same charge –the winder issue of dearth of integrity still standstill, Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to 5,500 people .This is hacking on an industrial scale ,as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire, the man hired by the News of the World in 2001 to be the point person for phone hacking. Others await trial. This long story still unfolds.In many respects, the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place .One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom, wow little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired wow the stories arrived. The core of her successful defence was that she knew nothing.In today’s world, title has become normal that well—paid executives should not beaccountable for what happens in the organizations that they run perhaps we should not be so surprised. For a generation, the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit. The words that have mattered are efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value, business–friendly, wealth generation, sales, impact and, in newspapers, circulation. Words degraded to the margin have been justice fairness, tolerance, proportionality and accountability.The purpose of editing the News of the World was not to promote reader understanding to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity. It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact. Ms Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories, but she asked no questions, gave no instructions—nor received traceable, recorded answers.36. According to the first two paragraphs, Elisabeth was upset by[A] the consequences of the current sorting mechanism[B] companies’ financial loss due to immoral practices.[C] governmental ineffectiveness on moral issues.[D]the wide misuse of integrity among institutions.37. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that[A] Glem Mulcaire may deny phone hacking as a crime[B] more journalists may be found guilty of phone hacking.[C] Andy Coulson should be held innocent of the charge.[D] phone hacking will be accepted on certain occasions.38. The author believes the Rebekah Books’s deference[A] revealed a cunning personality[B] centered on trivial issues[C] was hardly convincing[D] was part of a conspiracy39. The author holds that the current collective doctrine shows[A] generally distorted values[B] unfair wealth distribution[C] a marginalized lifestyle[D] a rigid moral cote40. Which of the following is suggested in the last paragraph?[A] The quality of writing is of primary importance.[B] Common humanity is central news reporting.[C] Moral awareness matters in exciting a newspaper.[D] Journalists need stricter industrial regulations.Part BDirections:In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the fist A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)How does your reading proceed? Clearly you try to comprehend, in the sense of identifying meanings for individual words and working out relationships between them, drawingon your explicit knowledge of English grammar (41) ______you begin to infer a context for the text, for instance, by making decisions about what kind of speech event is involved: who is making the utterance, to whom, when and where.The ways of reading indicated here are without doubt kinds of of comprehension. But they show comprehension to consist not just passive assimilation but of active engagement inference and problem-solving. You infer information you feel the writer has invited you to grasp by presenting you with specific evidence and cues (42) _______Conceived in this way, comprehension will not follow exactly the same track for each reader. What is in question is not the retrieval of an absolute, fixed or “true” meaning that can be read off and clocked for accuracy, or some timeless relation of the text to the world. (43) _______ Such background material inevitably reflects who we are, (44) _______This doesn’t, however, make interpretation merely relative or even pointless. Precisely because readers from different historical periods, places and social experiences produce different but overlapping readings of the same words on the page-including for texts that engage with fundamental human concerns-debates about texts can play an important role in social discussion of beliefs and values.How we read a given text also depends to some extent on our particular interest in reading it. (45)_______such dimensions of read suggest-as others introduced later in the book will also do-that we bring an implicit (often unacknowledged) agenda to any act of readin g. It doesn’t then necessarily follow that one kind of reading is fuller, more advanced or more worthwhile than another. Ideally, different kinds of reading inform each other, and act as useful reference points for and counterbalances to one another. Together, they make up the reading component of your overall literacy or relationship to your surrounding textual environment.[A] Are we studying that text and trying to respond in a way that fulfils the requirement of a given course? Reading it simply for pleasure? Skimming it for information? Ways of reading on a train or in bed are likely to differ considerably from reading in a seminar room.[B] Factors such as the place and period in which we are reading, our gender ethnicity, age and social class will encourage us towards certain interpretation but at the same time obscure or even close off others.[C] If you are unfamiliar with words or idioms, you guess at their meaning, using clues presented in the contest. On the assumption that they will become relevant later, you make a mental note of discourse entities as well as possible links between them.[D]In effect, you try to reconstruct the likely meanings or effects that any given sentence, image or reference might have had: These might be the ones the author intended.[E]You make further inferences, for instance, about how the test may be significant to you, or about its validity—inferences that form the basis of a personal response for which the author will inevitably be far less responsible.[F]In plays,novels and narrative poems, characters speak as constructs created by the author, not necessarily as mouthpieces for the author’s own thoughts.[G]Rather, we ascribe meanings to test on the basis of interaction between what we might call textual and contextual material: between kinds of organization or patterning we perceive in a text’s formal structures (so especially its language structures) and various kinds of background, social knowledge, belief and attitude that we bring to the text.Section III TranslationDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)Within the span of a hundred years, in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, a tide of emigration—one of the great folk wanderings of history—swept from Europe to America.46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.47) The United States is the product of two principal forces-the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. Of necessity, colonial America was a projection of Europe. Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen, Frenchmen, Germans, Scots, Irishmen, Dutchmen, Swedes, and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world.48) But, the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible. But the result was a new social pattern which, although it resembled European society in many ways, had a character that was distinctly American.49) The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the 15th- and 16th-century explorations of North America. In the meantime, thriving Spanish colonies had been established in Mexico, the West Indies, and South America. These travelers to North America came in small, unmercifully overcrowded craft. During their six- to twelve-week voyage, they subsisted on barely enough food allotted to them. Many of the ship were lost in storms, many passengers died of disease, and infants rarely survived the journey. Sometimes storms blew the vessels far off their course, and often calm brought unbearably long delay.“To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brought almost inexpressible relief.” said one recorder of events, “The air at twelve leagues’ distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.” The colonists’ first glimpse of the new land was a si ght of dense woods. 50) The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a veritable real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia. Here was abundant fuel and lumber. Here was the raw material of houses and furniture, ships and potash, dyes and naval stores.Section IV WritingPart A51.

ConstitutionC]California’s argument violates principles of the ConstitutionD]principles of the Constitution should never be alteredText3The journal Science is adding an extra round of statistical checks to its peer-review process,editor-in-chief Marcia McNutt announced today.The policy follows similar efforts from other journals,after widespread concern that basic mistakes in data analysis are contributing to the irreproducibility of many published research findings.“Readers must have confidence in the conclusions published in our journal,”writes McNutt in an editorial.Working with the American Statistical Association,the journal has appointed seven experts to a statistic board of reviewing editors(SBoRE).Manuscript will beflagged upfor additional scrutiny by thejournal’s internal editors,or by its existing Board of Reviewing Editors or by outside peer reviewers.The SBoRE panel will then find external statisticians to review these manuscripts.Asked whether any particular papers had impelled the change,McNutt said:“The creation of the‘statistics board’was motivated by concerns broadly with the application of statistics and data analysis in scientific research and is part of Science’s overall drive to increase reproducibility in the research we publish.”Giovanni Parmigiani,a biostatistician at the Harvard School of Public Health,a member of the SBoRE group,says he expects the board to“play primarily an advisory role.”He agreed to join because he“found the foresight behind the establishment of the SBoRE to be novel,unique and likely to have a lasting impact.This impact will not only be through the publications in Science itself,but hopefully through a larger group of publishing places that may want to model their approach after Science.”John Ioannidis,a physician who studies research methodology,says that the policy is“a most welcome step forward”and“long overdue.”“Most journals are weak in statistical review,and this damages the quality of what they publish.I think that,for the majority of scientific papers nowadays,statistical review is more essential than expert review,”he says.But he noted that biomedical journals such asAnnals of Internal Medicine,the Journal of the American Medical Association and The Lancet pay strong attention to statistical review.Professional scientists are expected to know how to analyze data,but statistical errors are alarmingly common in published research,according to David Vaux,a cell biologist.Researchers should improve their standards,he wrote in2012,but journals should also take a tougher line,“engaging reviewers who are statistically literate and editors who can verify the process.”Vaux says thatScience’s idea to pass some papers to statisticians“has some merit,but a weakness is that it relies on the board of reviewing editors to identify ‘the papers that need scrutiny’in the first place”.31.It can be learned from Paragraph1that________.[ [ [ [A]Science intends to simplify its peer-review processB]journals are strengthening their statistical checksC]few journals are blamed for mistakes in data analysisD]lack of data analysis is common in research projects32.The phrase“flagged up”(Para.2)is the closest in meaning to________.[ [ [ [A]foundB]markedC]revisedD]stored33.Giovanni Parmigiani believes that the establishment of the SBoRE may________.[ [ [ [A]pose a threat to all its peersB]meet with strong oppositionC]increase Science’s circulationD]set an example for other journals34.David Vaux holds that what Science is doing now________.[ [ [ [A]adds to researchers’workloadB]diminishes the role of reviewersC]has room for further improvementD]is to fail in the foreseeable future35.Which of the following is the best title of the text?[ [ [ [A]Science Joins Push to Screen Statistics in PapersB]Professional Statisticians Deserve More RespectC]Data Analysis Finds Its Way onto Editors’DesksD]Statisticians Are Coming Back with ScienceText4Two years ago,Rupert Murdoch’s daughter,Elisabeth,spoke of the“unsettling dearth of integrity acrossso many of our institutions.”Integrity had collapsed,she argued,because of a collective acceptance that the only“sorting mechanism”in society should be profit and the market.But“it’s us,human beings,we the people who create the society we want,not profit.”Driving her point home,she continued:“It’s increasingly apparent that the absence of purpose,of a moral language within government,media or business could become one of the most dangerous goals for capitalism and freedom.”This same absence of moral purpose was wounding companies such as News International,she thought,making it more likely that it would lose its way as it had with widespread illegal telephone hacking.As the hacking trial concludes——finding guilty one ex-editor of the News of the World,Andy Coulson,for conspiring to hack phones,and finding his predecessor,Rebekah Brooks,innocent of the same charge—the wider issue of dearth of integrity still stands,Journalists are known to have hacked the phones of up to5,500people.This is hacking on an industrial scale,as was acknowledged by Glenn Mulcaire,the man hired by the News of the World in2001to be the point person for phone hacking.Others await trial.This long story still unfolds.In many respects,the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place.One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom,how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived.The core of her successful defence was that she knew nothing.In today’s world,it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organizations that they run.Perhaps we should not be so surprised.For a generation,the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit.The words that have mattered are efficiency,flexibility, shareholder value,business–friendly,wealth generation,sales,impact and,in newspapers,circulation.Words degraded to the margin have been justice,fairness,tolerance,proportionality and accountability.The purpose of editing the News of the World was not to promote reader understanding,to be fair in what was written or to betray any common humanity.It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact.MsBrooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories,but she asked no questions,gave no instructions—nor received traceable,recorded answers.36.According to the first two paragraphs,Elisabeth was upset by________.[ [ [ [A]the consequences of the current sorting mechanismB]companies’financial loss due to immoral practicesC]governmental ineffectiveness on moral issuesD]the wide misuse of integrity among institutions37.It can be inferred from Paragraph3that________.[ [ [ [A]Glem Mulcaire may deny phone hacking as a crimeB]more journalists may be found guilty of phone hackingC]Andy Coulson should be held innocent of the chargeD]phone hacking will be accepted on certain occasions38.The author believes the Rebekah Books’s defence________.[ [ [ [A]revealed a cunning personalityB]centered on trivial issuesC]was hardly convincingD]was part of a conspiracy39.The author holds that the current collective doctrine shows________.[ [ [ [A]generally distorted valuesB]unfair wealth distributionC]a marginalized lifestyleD]a rigid moral code40.Which of the following is suggested in the last paragraph?[ [ [ [A]The quality of writing is of primary importance.B]Common humanity is central to news reporting.C]Moral awareness matters in editing a newspaper.D]Journalists need stricter industrial regulations.Part BDirections:In the following text,some sentences have been removed.For Questions41-45,choose the most suitable one from the fist A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks.There are two extra choices,which do not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET.(10points)How does your reading proceed?Clearly you try to comprehend,in the sense of identifying meanings for individual words and working out relationships between them,drawing on your implicit knowledge of English grammar.(41)_______.You begin to infer a context for the text,for instance,by making decisions about what kind of speech event is involved.Who is making the utterance,to whom,when and where?The ways of reading indicated here are without doubt kinds of comprehension.But they show comprehension to consist not just of passive assimilation but of active engagement in inference and problem-solving.You infer information you feel the writer has invited you to grasp by presenting you with specific evidence and clues.(42)_______Conceived in this way,comprehension will not follow exactly the same track for each reader.What is in question is not the retrieval of an absolute,fixed or“true”meaning that can be read off and checked for accuracy,or some timeless relation of the text to the world.(43)_______Such background material inevitably reflects who we are.(44)_______.This doesn’t,however,make interpretation merely relative or even pointless.Precisely because readers from different historical periods,places and social experiences produce different but overlapping readings of the same words on the page---including for texts that engage with fundamental human concerns---debates about texts can play an important role in social discussion of beliefs and values.How we read a given text also depends to some extent on our particular interest in reading it.(45)_______.Such dimensions of reading suggest---as others introduced later in the book will also do---that we bring an implicit(often unacknowledged)agenda to any act of reading.It doesn’t then necessarily follow that one kind of reading is fuller, more advanced or more worthwhile than another.Ideally,different kinds of reading inform each other,and act as useful reference points for and counterbalances to one another.Together,they make up the reading component of your overall literacy,or relationship to your surrounding textual environment.[A]Are we studying that text and trying to respond in a way that fulfils the requirement of a given course?Readingit simply for pleasure?Skimming it for information?Ways of reading on a train or in bed are likely to differ considerably from reading in a seminar room.[B]Factors such as the place and period in which we are reading,our gender,ethnicity,age and social class will encourage us towards certain interpretations but at the same time obscure or even close off others.[C]If you are unfamiliar with words or idioms,you guess at their meaning,using clues presented in the context. On the assumption that they will become relevant later,you make a mental note of discourse entities as well as possible links between them.[D]In effect,you try to reconstruct the likely meanings or effects that any given sentence,image or reference might have had:These might be the ones the author intended.[E]You make further inferences,for instance,about how the text may be significant to you,or about its validity—inferences that form the basis of a personal response for which the author will inevitably be far less responsible.[F]In plays,novels and narrative poems,characters speak as constructs created by the author,not necessarily as mouthpieces for the author’s own thoughts.G]Rather,we ascribe meanings to texts on the basis of interaction between what we might call textual and [contextual material:between kinds of organization or patterning we perceive in a text’s formal structures(so especially its language structures)and various kinds of background,social knowledge,belief and attitude that we bring to the text.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese.Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points)Within the span of a hundred years,in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries,a tide of emigration—one of the great folk wanderings of history—swept from Europe to America.(46)This movement,driven by powerful and diverse motivations,built a nation out of a wilderness and,by its nature,shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent.(47)The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas,customs,and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits.Of necessity,colonial America was a projection of Europe.Across the Atlantic came successive groups of Englishmen,Frenchmen,Germans,Scots,Irishmen,Dutchmen,Swedes,and many others who attempted to transplant their habits and traditions to the new world.(48)But,the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America,the interplay of the varied national groups upon one another,and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw,new continent caused significant changes.These changes were gradual and at first scarcely visible.But the result was a new social pattern which,although it resembled European society in many ways,had a character that was distinctly American.(49)The first shiploads of immigrants bound for the territory which is now the United States crossed the Atlantic more than a hundred years after the15th-and-16th-century explorations of North America.In the meantime,thriving Spanish colonies had been established inMexico,the West Indies,and South America.These travelers to North America came in small,unmercifully overcrowded craft.During their six-to twelve-week voyage,they survived on barely enough food allotted to them.Many of the ships were lost in storms,many passengers died of disease,and infants rarely survived the journey.Sometimes storms blew the vessels far off their course,and often calm brought unbearably long delay.To the anxious travelers the sight of the American shore brought almost inexpressible relief.Said one recorder of events,“The air at twelve leagues’distance smelt as sweet as a new-blown garden.”The colonists’first glimpse of the new land was a sight of dense woods.50)The virgin forest with its richness and variety of trees was a real treasure-house which extended from Maine all the way down to Georgia.Here was abundant fuel and lumber.Here was the raw material of houses and furniture,ships and potash,dyes and naval stores.

2015考研英语 完形填空攻略详解
资料来源:中国教育在线 /资料来源:中国教育在线 / 经过前面的讲解,相信大家对2015考研英语完形填空题有了更深一步地了解,包括对词汇的认识、语篇结构的把握等。
一篇完形的讲解不希望是就题论题,希望大家对这一类题能够有所把握。
今天老师就完形填空这一题型向考生做攻略详解。
由于多数考生把完形放到最后来做,好多同学的做题策略就是靠蒙,其实“蒙”也有科学的“蒙”法。
完形中正确选项是有一定分布规律的,首先ABCD 在20个空中是均匀分布,每项出现大概4-6个,比如2014年中,ABCD 各出现了5个;另外连续相同的3个选项是不会出现的,连续相同的2个选项出现0-3个,其余都是连续不相同的选项一般是17-20个。
2014年中,5、6题都是A ,18、19题都是C ,其余都是不相同。
但在强化阶段,一定不建议大家这样做,就像何凯文老师说的那样,侥幸的成功有时比失败更可怕,大家要做的就是踏踏实实做题,把基础夯实,认真对待做对的或做错的每一道题目。
对于完形填空的做题步骤,考生们可以这样,首先一定要精读首段首句,首句是文章的主题或主旨,大概了解主旨后我们可以粗略推出文章的内容,这对我们做下边的题目也有很大的帮助;其次浏览一下每段的第一句话,大概知道文章整个内容;再次进行最重要的详读阶段,读句子和选项,如果某个选项不会的话,就跳过去接着做,后文的内容会对前边的内容有帮助;最后如果有时间的话要全文校对一遍,在这一遍过程中可能会发现一些错误。
最后告诉大家一定要摆脱“完形填空难”的意识,因为从完形填空词汇上来说,是由 85%的四级词汇和高中词汇、10%的六级词汇、5%的考研词汇组成,这样大家在阅读文章的时候不会感觉很难;从句子层面来看,长难句不像阅读理解中的语法那么难以分析,完形中主要考察的是语篇层面,要学会瞻前顾后,注意前后句子的联系,有时候答案就在空的前后两句甚至三句中。
此外,完形还考察对词汇深度的理解,在记忆词汇量的基础上,考生要着重记忆重点词汇多个意义的理解和记忆。

2015年英语(二)完型点评:难度略降
2015年英语(二)完型点评:难度略降2015考研笔试已经结束。
整体来看,命题形式常规,未曾出现很大的波折,难度略为降低。
下面点评下今年英语(二)的完型考题。
2015年考研英语(二)完型填空选自美国当今最具影响力新闻博客网站《赫芬顿邮报》(The Huffington Post)在2014年5月16日发布的一篇博文,原文题目为“This Is Why You Ignore Everybody On The Subway -- And Why You ShouldStop”,原文篇幅很长,共计17段,本次英语二考试只选取了前七段。
完型的题型大致可以分为几类:词义题、逻辑题、搭配题。
下面结合2015年英语(二)的完形填空的选项,分析总结三种完形填空题型。
1.词义题主要是对实义词的考查,同时又结合了近义词辨析或者形近词辨析。
解题时不仅要注意词义辨析,更要注意和文章主旨保持一致。
如真题中第11题,A选项dangerous(危险的),B选项mysterious(神秘的),C选项violent(暴力的),D选项boring(无聊的)。
四个词为实词辨析,根据前文出现的uneasiness(不安);security(安全),可得知A选项dangerous与之形成呼应。
此外,13题的各个选项虽然不是形近,但含义都有些相近,如lecture演讲,conversation谈话,debate辩论,negotiation协商。
这就需要大家结合语境来解题,看上下文的背景信息。
解答这类题目时,不仅要考虑文章的中心主线,还要考虑各词本身的功能或特点,并且要了解褒贬一致、语气一致等原则。
2.逻辑题语篇中的逻辑衔接是指句子之间或句子内部各成分之间,通过连接性词语的运用,实现语义上的连贯。
逻辑衔接反映在考题上主要是选择逻辑连接词:包括反映句际逻辑关系的连接词、介词、短语等。
英语知识运用的逻辑关系主要包括:并列、递进、因果、对立、总分以及条件关系等。

没有规矩不成方圆,作为一个测试项目,一定有其规律所在,如果我们仔细地分析一下考研完形的出题类型,并根据这些特点,制定出合理可行的复习计划,掌握重要的做题方法,我们一样可以在完型上拿高分。
下面考试点为大家讲解一下考研英语完型填空题的复习备考方法。
完型填空考题类型解析完型填空一定要注重思路和寻找线索能力的训练,做题的基本思路是,根据已知信息去填空,根据空前后的线索来选择填什么。
比方说,题目让考生填主句的内容,那么从句中就会有相应的说明。
题目让考生填动词,原文常常在别的地方出现这个动词的同义词。
那么如何判断呢?首先根据需要填写动词后面出现的宾语,找到有同一宾语的句子,该句中的动词就是所需填写词的同义词。
常见搭配、固定词组常常作为完型填空的考点。
如果题目让你填单词,常常与搭配有关系,在平时就应该有意识地积累一些固定词组和搭配,这样,在考试时,就能节省很多时间,并且记忆搭配、词组等还有利于作文的写作等很多方面,所以为了很好地应付这些题型,要在平时准备过程中多下工夫,多积累。
另外,在平常练习中,学生做题要张弛有度,把握时间,速度要快。
不用把文章全部细读一遍,可针对考点做题。
注意每段话的首句,完型填空20道题目尽量控制在20分钟内做完。
考生对不同语境中规范的语言要素(包括词汇、表达方式和结构)的掌握程度,而且还考查考生对语段特征(如连贯性和一致性等);的辨识能力等。

2015考研英语一、二新题型及完型深度解析
2015考研英语一、二新题型及完型深度解析新东方在线李玉技2015年全国研究生入学考试今天拉开帷幕。
今天是考研的第1天,下午进行了英语的考试,新东方在线考研辅导名师团队第一时间通过酷学网对考研真题进行直播解析,敬请持续关注。
以下是新东方在线考研名师李玉技为2015考生带来的考研英语新题型及完形填空的深度解析:各位参加2015年考研考试的亲爱学子大家好,这次考试英语顺利的落下了帷幕,大家特别关心今年新题型和完形填空,我用一点时间讲讲新题型和完形填空的情况。
一、新题型考察简单1、英语一:段落句子填空题首先完形填空新题型纯粹是波澜不惊,他基本上保持了考研英语命题稳健的基本优点。
今年在考试过程中,我们说不管是英语一还是英语二的题型,基本上让广大的考生考出自己的水平。
另外,今年的题型比较简单。
比如说在2014年初考试的时候,英语一的新题型考到了培训,而这次新题型考的是常见的段落句子填空题。
这篇文章出题风格和往年不一样,往年往往是五个独立段落,或者是在某一段的最后一段出一道题,比如说42题、43题,都是在我们的段尾出题,但是41、44、45都是段落中间出的题,这一点在降低难度,而不是在提高难度。
这篇文章注意一下来自于马丁所著的一本书《阅读的方法》讲的是高级阅读技巧,这本书的第一单元就是这个。
以下是英语一新题型参考答案:41题正确答案选的是C。
非常简单,只要找到这篇文章只要对一下就全出来了。
这里我们说最主要的是这句话,对于这句话我们41题选择的是C,在这里这个词它也可以对应后面的句子。
42题是E。
你可以做进一步的推理,关于这个课文的重要。
我们之所以选择E,因为E 空前的两句都重复了“推理”这样的字眼。
还有E段的最后也提出了读者的推测。
所以选择E。
43题是G。
这个考点和去年的考点差不多。
44题是B。
B选项的意思是因素。
45题是A。
A具体描述了许多不同的阅读路径和方式,这是对45空前后的细化。
2、英语二:小标题题对于英语二的新题型这次考的小标题题,这一点老师们和同学民都预测到了,而今天考的小标题题又是简单的。
2015考研英语二完型真题解析
2015考研英语二完型真题解析2015年英语二的完型填空难度与上一年相当,依旧考察学生对语法知识的基本运用,确保学生可以准确、自如的运用语法知识,而不是单纯的学习语法。
除了语法知识以外,词义辨析也是一大重要内容。
首先,所考题目来自Huffington Post的一篇名为“This Is Why You Ignore Everyone On The Subway—And Why You Should Stop”。
从篇章上来讲,考生应对整体文章大意有初步了解,保证所选择的选项符合文章主题方向,以及感情色彩。
这就要通过阅读文章首段来发现,通过阅读In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with -- or even looking at -- a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they fiddle with their phones, even without a signal underground.就不难看出文章的主要内容主要写的是现代社会中人与人之间缺乏交流,并追溯其原因是人们无论身在何处,即使在没有信号的地铁之中都盯着自己的手机看,互相没有交流。
所以从题材来说是人们所熟知的社会现象,因此理解起来各位考生不会出现太大问题。
其次,从句子层面来讲,考生在填空时应将句子作为一个整体来分析,不可以孤立的分析所填选项,以准确抓住答题线索。
例如这道考题so we are more likely to feel 9 when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances.通过阅读我们了解到,“与和我们的朋友和熟人交流相比,和陌生人交流更容易让我们感到___。
考研英语二历年真题2015解析
2015年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(二)试题详解Section I Use of English本文是一篇论说性文章,选自The Huffington Post(《赫芬顿邮报》)2014年5月发表的文章This Is Why You Ignore Everybody On The Subway—And Why You Should Stop,探讨现代社会人们避免与陌生人沟通的现象以及产生该现象的原因。
本文描述了当代社会“人们不愿与陌生人交流”的现象,分析了原因,用实验举例说明与人交流可以让我们获益很多。
第一段提出问题:现代人热衷于玩手机,而不愿与陌生人交流。
第二段阐明观点:与陌生人交流有很多益处,可人们忽略了这些益处。
第三段过渡,提出问题:人们为什么不愿意与陌生人交流?第四、五段解释人们不愿意与陌生人交流的原因。
第六段举例论证与陌生人交流不是那么可怕的事情。
第七段进一步阐述与陌生人交流可以让人愉悦,并得出结论:与陌生人交流会让你感觉到自己与别人息息相关。
Para.1①In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with—or even looking at—a stranger is virtually unbearable. ②Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they cling to their phones, even without a 1 on a subway.译 文①在我们当代的文化中,与陌生人交流——甚至是看陌生人一眼都是令人难以忍受的。
②我们身边每个人好像都同意这个观点,他们一直玩手机,哪怕是在没有信号的地铁里。
语篇分析首句点题,指出现代人对“与陌生人交流”这件事的态度。
第二句描述一个现象作为例证:人们宁愿在没有信号的地铁里一直玩手机,也不愿与陌生人交流,以此证明首句的观点。
15年考研英语二真题
15年考研英语二真题15年考研英语二真题解析在备考考研英语二的过程中,了解历年真题是非常重要的一步。
本文将对2015年考研英语二真题进行解析,帮助考生更好地理解和应对考试。
第一部分:阅读理解阅读理解是考研英语二的重点部分,也是很多考生感到困惑的部分。
2015年的考研英语二真题中,阅读理解部分包括了三篇文章,分别是关于心理学、生态学和社会学的研究。
第一篇文章是关于心理学的研究,主要讨论了人类的情绪和认知对决策的影响。
文章提到了一项实验,通过观察被试者在不同情绪状态下的决策行为,得出了情绪对决策的重要性。
这篇文章的难点在于对实验设计和结果的理解,考生需要注意抓住文章的关键信息。
第二篇文章是关于生态学的研究,主要探讨了全球气候变化对生物多样性的影响。
文章提到了气候变化导致物种灭绝和生态系统崩溃的可能性,并提出了一些保护生物多样性的措施。
这篇文章的难点在于对科学术语和实验结果的理解,考生需要有一定的生态学知识储备。
第三篇文章是关于社会学的研究,主要讨论了家庭背景对个人社会流动性的影响。
文章提到了社会阶层的不平等和社会流动性的问题,并通过一些研究数据支持了家庭背景对个人社会地位的影响。
这篇文章的难点在于对社会学理论和实证研究的理解,考生需要注意抓住文章的主旨和论证逻辑。
第二部分:完形填空完形填空是考研英语二的另一个重要部分,也是考生容易出错的部分。
2015年的考研英语二真题中,完形填空部分是一篇关于地球资源利用的文章。
这篇文章主要讨论了地球资源的有限性和人类对地球资源的过度开发的问题。
文章提到了一些环保组织和科学家的观点,呼吁人们采取可持续发展的方式利用地球资源。
这篇文章的难点在于对科学术语和逻辑关系的理解,考生需要注意抓住文章的主旨和论证逻辑。

2015年的考研英语二真题中,翻译部分包括了一篇英译汉和一篇汉译英。
英译汉部分是一篇关于科技创新的文章,主要讨论了科技创新对经济发展的重要性。
2015年考研英语(一)深度解析:完型
2015年考研英语(一)深度解析:完型1. [A] what【解析】此题考查疑问代词辨析:题干中过去分词短语published from the University of California and Yale University…作后置定语,修饰study,而真正的句子主干是That is 1 a study has 2 .简化后的句子可以让我们清晰地看出第一题要说的是研究study的具体内容是what,不是方式how,也不是原因why,更不是时间when。
2. [B] concluded【解析】此题考查动词辨析:同第一题一样,根据简化的句子That is what a study has 2 来解题。
题目选择的动词是说明study怎样才有了上面what表示的内容。
所以此题选择concluded“推断;得出结论”。
其他的动词据不符合要求。
3. [D] on【解析】此题考查介词辨析:根据题干The study is a genome-wide analysis conducted 3 1932 unique subjects的要求,所选择的介词能用在conduct“实施;进行”之后,又得和subject 搭配,所以这个题目应该选择on,构成on some subjects“关于某类主题”。
4. [C] compared【解析】此题考查动词辨析:通过观察题干,我们发现第4题位于which引导的定语从句之内,作从句的谓语动词。
Which修饰主句的主语study“研究”,如此补全定语从句就是:The study 4 pairs of unrelated friends and unrelated strangers…所以正确答案选择C。
该项研究是对比所选择的两个样本。
其他选项都不符合题意。
5. [C] samples【解析】此题考查名词辨析:The same people were used in both 5 .通过观察题干,我们发现第5题空前的单词是both,表示“两者都…”。

2015考研英语:完型真题内容浅析
1.完型简介
完型填空其实质就是一篇短小精悍的英语阅读,只不过将这篇阅读挖了20个空出来,每个空0.5分,共10分。
在阅读中,中心句一般出现在首位段或每段的首尾句。
完型既然类似于阅读,那也具有这样的特点。
所以,我们在做完型的时候要去精读第一句,而且第一句通常也不会挖空,有利于我们去理解主要内容。
完型的做题方式虽然有技巧可言,但文都英语老师还是希望小伙伴们可以在具有一定实力的基础上,再采用一些技巧,这样才能在考研英语完型中立于不败之地。
2.考试内容
考研完形填空考查的内容主要分为两部分:⑴词汇:主要指形近词及近义词的辨析和词汇搭配;⑵语法知识:包括逻辑关系和句子基本结构,也就是我们通常所说的并列、转折、强调、递进等逻辑关系,及句子的结构等。
下面我们以2001年的完型真题为例进行分析:Concerns were raised49witnesses might be encouraged to exaggerate their stories in court50guilty verdicts.
49.A.what B.when C.which D.that
50.A.assure B.confide C.ensure D.guarantee
这个题目中包含了两个知识点:即语法知识点和词汇知识点。
我们来仔细看下。
49题,concerns were raised,先看下四个选项what,when,which,that,这四个词都是从句的引导词,那这个横线处要填的肯定是个从句了。
Raise是个动词,raise出现了后面一定是个宾语从句吗?并不完全如此。
为什么?我们看到这个地方,这里were raised是个什么语态?被动语态。
Concerns were raised,concerns被提起来,被什么提起来呢?被人提起来。
那么如果把它变成主动就是people raised concerns,这个时候它已经不再是一个宾语从句了。
在被动语态下面是没有宾语从句的。
因此我们可以发现,在这里were raised对我们来说是没有用的,这个从句是和concerns有关的。
确切的说,这里的被动语态将concerns 和它的从句分割开来。
是concerns+引导词这样一个结构:People raised concerns (), concerns是个名词,和名词有关的从句有定语从句和同位语从句。
那到底是定语从句还是同位语从句呢?我们再来看它是一个什么样的结构。
主语witnesses,谓语might be encouraged,宾语to exaggerate their stories,这是完整的结构,包括主谓宾。
在干什么呢?在解释说明concerns是什么。
我们知道定语从句是修饰、限定名词范围的从句,同位语从句是解释、说明名词内容的从句。
同位语从句用引导词that引导,因此这个题选D.
我们再来看下第50题。
这是语法中的词汇辨析的部分。
大家可以发现 A.assure和C.ensure长的特别像,as-和en-开头都是动词,assure和ensure。
在完形填空中如果出现形近词时,正确答案一般都是在形近词中选择一个。
从字面意思来看,这里的assure,ensure 都是“保证”的意思,包括guarantee也是“保证”的意思,但是一般形近词出现,都是在形近词中选一个,也就是在A和C中选择一个。
这个题中,assure和ensure是形近,又是意近,更是我们考查的重点了。
但是这两个词该选哪一个呢?这里考查的词汇的搭配问题。
Assure后面往往跟的是“人”,assure somebody向某人保证,向某人确认;ensure通常
接something,保证某件事情。
如果我们了解了这些之后,我们会发现这个题就变得很简单了。
guilty verdicts有罪裁定,毋庸置疑,这是一个东西吧,既然是一个东西,那么这个地方就是选C吧。
其实这道题是一个典型的具有完型填空风格的题,在平时做题的时候,我们要去思考这道题想考的点是什么,我自己能不能把这个点提炼出来。
希望2015考研的同学好好准备,祝大家考研成功!
考研成功难又不难,一旦大家开始准备就要全力以赴。
自制力差的学生可以找几个研友,互相激励,因为坚持下来也确实不容易,也看个人习惯,有的同学可能一个人学习更有效率;在这个过程中更主要的还有大家坚持的信念,坚持完成一件事情本身就是成功。
在三百多天的日子里,老师会一直陪伴着大家,里边的每条微博、微信、咨询都是温暖大家并激励大家前行的动力。
奔跑吧,2016的考生们!
虽然有突破口、也有规律可循,但这并不意味着我们可以一劳永逸、高枕无忧,要知道,想要精通世界上任何一门语言,除非有天生的语言天分,否则偷不得半分懒,只能勤勤恳恳反复练习。
一遍不懂读两遍,默念不行就大声念出来,遇到不认识的单词就查,不懂的句子就静下心来拆分结构。
总之,读书百遍、其义自现,英语学习之路上没有笨蛋,只有懒人。
综上就是小编给大家提供的高分技巧,技巧就是牢固的知识点和强悍的答题思路,预祝所有考生2016考研有个好成绩。

敬业:以专业的态度做非凡的事业;
服务:以学员的前途为已任,为学员提供高效、专业的服务,团队合作,为学员服务,为学员引路。
如何选择考研辅导班:
在考研准备的过程中,会遇到不少困难,尤其对于跨专业考生的专业课来说,通过报辅导班来弥补自己复习的不足,可以大大提高复习效率,节省复习时间,大家可以通过以下几个方面来考察辅导班,或许能帮你找到适合你的辅导班。
师资力量:师资力量是考察辅导班的首要因素,考生可以针对辅导名师的辅导年限、辅导经验、历年辅导效果、学员评价等因素进行综合评价,询问往届学长然后选择。
判断师资力量关键在于综合实力,因为任何一门课程,都不是由一、两个教师包到底的,是一批教师配合的结果。
还要深入了解教师的学术背景、资料著述成就、辅导成就等。
凯程考研名师云集,李海洋、张鑫教授、方浩教授、卢营教授、孙浩教授等一大批名师在凯程授课。
而有的机构只是很普通的老师授课,对知识点把握和命题方向,欠缺火候。
对该专业有辅导历史:必须对该专业深刻理解,才能深入辅导学员考取该校。
在考研辅导班中,从来见过如此辉煌的成绩:凯程教育拿下2015五道口金融学院状元,考取五道口15人,清华经管金融硕士10人,人大金融硕士15个,中财和贸大金融硕士合计20人,北师大教育学7人,会计硕士保录班考取30人,翻译硕士接近20人,中传状元王园璐、郑家威都是来自凯程,法学方面,凯程在人大、北大、贸大、政法、武汉大学、公安大学等院校斩获多个法学和法硕状元,更多专业成绩请查看凯程网站。
在凯程官方网站的光荣榜,成功学员经验谈视频特别多,都是凯程战绩的最好证明。
对于如此高的成绩,凯程集训营班主任邢老师说,凯程如此优异的成绩,是与我们凯程严格的管理,全方位的辅导是分不开的,很多学生本科都不是名校,某些学生来自二本三本甚至不知名的院校,还有很多是工作了多年才回来考的,大多数是跨专业考研,他们的难度大,竞争激烈,没有严格的训练和同学们的刻苦学习,是很难达到优异的成绩。
最好的办法是直接和凯程老师详细沟通一下就清楚了。
建校历史:机构成立的历史也是一个参考因素,历史越久,积累的人脉资源更多。
例如,凯程教育已经成立10年(2005年),一直以来专注于考研,成功率一直遥遥领先,同学们有兴趣可以联系一下他们在线老师或者电话。
有没有实体学校校区:有些机构比较小,就是一个在写字楼里上课,自习,这种环境是不太好的,一个优秀的机构必须是在教学环境,大学校园这样环境。
凯程有自己的学习校区,有吃住学一体化教学环境,独立卫浴、空调、暖气齐全,这也是一个考研机构实力的体现。
此外,最好还要看一下他们的营业执照。
