2Astronomers can tell just how hot the surface of the moon gets. The side of the moon toward the sun gets two degrees hotter than boiling water. The night side reaches 243 degrees below zero.In an eclipse, the earth’s shadow falls on the moon. Then the moon’s temperature may drop 300 degrees in a very short time. A temperature change like this can not happen on the earth. Why does it happen on the moon? Astronomers think that the surface of the moon is dust .On the earth , rocks store heat from the sun . When the sun goes down ,the rocks stay warm . But the dust of the moon cannot store heat .So when the moon gets dark , the heat escapes quickly . The moon gets very cold .天文学家可以说出月球表面得到多少炎热。

2021年硕士入学考试英语阅读真题附答案详解-TEXT4_6
2021年硕士入学考试英语阅读真题附答案详解:TEXT4No company likes to be told it is contributing to the moral decline of a nation. "Is this what you intended to accomplish with your careers?" Senator Robert Dole asked Time Warner executives last week. "You have sold your souls, but must you corrupt our nation and threaten our children as well?" At Time Warner, however, such questions are simply the latest manifestation of the soul-searching that has involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990. It's a self-examination that has, at various times, involved issues of responsibility, creative freedom and the corporate bottom line.At the core of this debate is chairman Gerald Levin, 56, who took over for the late Steve Ross in 1992. On the financial front, Levin is under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the company's mountainous debt, which will increase to $ 17.3 billion after two new cable deals close. He has promised to sell off some of the property and restructure the company, but investors are waiting impatiently.The flap over rap is not making life any easier for him.Levin has consistently defended the company's rap music on the grounds of expression. In 1992, when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice-T's violent rap song Cop Killer, Levin described rap as lawful expression of street culture, which deserves an outlet. "The test of any democratic society," he wrote in a Wall Street Journal column, "lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be. We won't retreat in the face of any threats."Levin would not comment on the debate last week, but there were signs that the chairman was backing off his hard-line stand, at least to some extent. During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month's stockholders' meeting. Levin asserted that "music is not the cause of society's ills" and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate with students. But he talked as well about the "balanced struggle" between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he announced that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music.The 15-member Time Warner board is generally supportive ofLevin and his corporate strategy. But insiders say several of them have shown their concerns in this matter. "Some of us have known for many, many years that the freedoms under the First Amendment are not totally unlimited," says Luce. "I think it is perhaps the case that some people associated with the company have only recently come to realize this."63. Senator Robert Dole criticized Time Warner for ________.[A] its raising of the corporate stock price[B] its self-examination of soul[C] its neglect of social responsibility[D] its emphasis on creative freedom64.

在仅仅几星期的时间里 , 这幅广告就推销了一百万件 " 哈瑟维 " 牌衬衣。
然而很少有人试问过为什么会这样。
广告是一件抽象艺术 , 是不折不扣的象征主义。
据说普通人在艺术画廊里看到广告时会怒不可遏 , 但是它在市场上的确管用。
这一点绝非偶然。
无论在理论上还是在实践上 , 象征主义诗歌和绘画都神秘莫测 , 能够把相互没有逻辑关系的东西联系起来。

图腾社会是靠图腾植物或图腾动物维系在一起的。
单独一个人就不是袋鼠家族或部落的一个成员 , 他只是一只袋鼠 , 他和他的弟兄们一起参与袋鼠的集体生活 , 这是一种神秘的群体或参与。
广告能够调动起集体情感 , 为群体参与制定了全国性品牌。

But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We can not change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently.Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind.You need to remember an old saying, “treat others how you want to be treated”. You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is important to treat them kindly too. If you tolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone’s lives easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.B 6. According to the author, what is tolerance?A. Tolerance is the ability that we have to change the way that other people do.B. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others.C. Tolerance is a weapon to fight against the enemy.D.

It is important for us to learn tolerance.D8. Why is tolerance important?A. Because it will make everyone’s lives easier.B. Because it will make everyone get on better with each other.C.

They want to bring water to the deserts, so that people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. Even so, more and more of the earth is becoming deserts all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts in time.Why is more and more land becoming deserts? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.Some places on the earth do not get very much rain. Yet, they still do not become deserts. This is because there are some green plants growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants help keep water in the earth. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. When a little bit of rain falls, the plants hold water. Without plants, the land can becomea desert much more easily.A man decides to make a farm in a very dry place. He cuts down the trees. He digs in the earth and takes away the grass and plants that are already growing on the dry land. He makes a farm. He puts plants in rows. The sun is very hot. It makes the land even drier. When the rain comes, it runs between the rows of plants. It washes the good dirt away. When the wind comes, it blows between the rows of plants. It blows the good dirt away.Soon the land is not good enough for a farm any more. The man lets his animals eat all the plants on it. Now the land does not have any plants on it. The sun and wind dry the land and blow all the good dirt away. Now the land is a desert.Now it is time for man to protect his environment!D 11. ________ are doing their best to change the deserts into good land again.A. MenB. WomenC. PeopleD. ScientistsC12.

A man wants to make a farm in a dry place.B. The influence of men’s activities on the environment.C. He succeeds in making a farm.D. He puts plants in rows.C15. The main idea of the whole passage is that ________.A. people work very hardB. scientists are studying the problem of desertsC. people are doing much harm to the environmentD. many good lands are becoming deserts(4)A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”“Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man.“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”“That’s none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the littl e boy.“If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour.”“Oh,” the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?”The father was furious. “If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed.Think about why you’re being so selfish. I work long, hard hours every day and don’t have time for such childish games.”The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy’s questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00, and he really didn’t ask for money very often.The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” he asked.“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here’s that $10.00 you asked for.” The little boy sat straight up, beaming.“Oh, thank you daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled outsome more crumpled up bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man. “Why did yo u want more money if you already had some?” the father grumbled.“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hour of your time?”B16. What do you know about the man?A. He made a lot of money.B. He often came home from work late.C. He often went to work late.D. He spent lots of time taking care of his son.C17. Why was the boy waiting for his father at the door?A. Because he missed his father very much.B. Because he was hungry.C. Because he wanted to borrow some money from his father.D. Because he had good news to tell his father.A18. The man went to talk to his son because ________.A. he thought he might have been a little hard on his son.B. he wanted to ask his son some questions.C. he wanted to find out whether his son was asleep or not.D. his son was crying in his bedroom.D19.

What is the main idea of the passage?A. Parents should give their children some pocket money.B. Parents should not neglect (忽视) their children no matter how busy they are.C. Parents should not be hard on their children.D. Children can buy time from their parents.(5)Have you ever seen people dance? Some dance s are fast and others are slow. People’s feet move when they dance. They keep on moving until the music stops.People have enjoyed dancing for a very long time. This story is of a different kind of dance. It is a dance without people or music. Yet this dance is one of the oldest in the world. It is the dance of bees.If you have ever watched bees, you know that they are very clever. They also work hard looking for food and bringing it back to their home.The home of bees is called a bee-hive. Here hundreds —even thousands —of bees live. They work day and night building small walls of wax. Here they make their honey. This is the same honey that we eat.Where does the honey come from? Bees live on food from flowers. Have you ever seen bees flying around a flower garden? When a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the center of it. There it takes in as much food as its body can hold. Then it carries the food back to the hive.At the hive, bees change this flower food into honey. Then they fly away for more food.How do bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers?One bee acts as a guide. When it discovers good flowers, it flies back to the hive to tell the others. It does this by dancing for them.The bee dances on one side. This tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers, but that is not all. The bee dances for some time, and the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.When the other bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are. They fly away and return with more food for the hive.Sometimes we hear the music of bees as they fly around, but few people have ever seen them dance. Yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat.A 21.According to the passage, peop le don’t stop dancing until ________.A. the music stopsB. they are very tiredC. they want to go to bedD. it is very lateB 22. In the text, “an unknown dance” is a dance ________.A. without a lightB. without people or musicC. without light and musicD. without any drinksD 23. Bees carry the flower food back to the hive ________.A. to eatB. to storeC. to be a present to other beesD. to change them into honeyA24. What does a guide bee do if it finds the best food in the sweetest flowers?A. It will fly back to the hive to tell the others.B. It will take in as much food as it can.C. It will bring it back to the hive.D. It will change it into honey.B25. What does the length of the dance mean?A. It tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers.B. It tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.C. It means that bees enjoy dancing.D. It means nothing.(6)This story took place a long time ago. But it has been repeated time and again. Everyone is moved by the true story.An old man was knocked down by a car and was taken to hospital.He was badly hurt, and during his few returns to consciousness, he repeatedly called for his son.No one knew where his son was. A dirty letter was found in his pocket. The nurse learned that his son was a soldier in North Carolina.The hospital called the Red Cross office to find the young man. The young soldier was rushed to the airport in time to catch the plane.It was evening when the young soldier walked into the hospital. A nurse took him to the bedside of the old man.“Your son is here,” she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the old man’s eyes opened. He dimly saw the young man and got great comfort. He reached out his hand. The young soldier held the old man’s hand and offered words of hope.All through the night the young soldier sat beside the bed. The nurse offered to watch instead of him for a while. He refused.At dawn the old man died. The nurse started to comfort him, but the so ldier asked her, “Who was that man?”“He was your father,” she answered.“No, he wasn’t, I never saw him before.”“Why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?”“I knew right off there was a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son j ust wasn’t here. I realized I was needed. So I stayed.”B26. What happened to the old man?A. He drove a car and was hurt in a car accident.B. He was knocked down by a car and seriously hurt.C.

A nurse in the hospital wrote the story.D. The young soldier was not the old man’s son.B30. Why did the young solider stay and look after the old man?A. Because he was the old man’s son.B. Because he realized he was needed.C. Because there was no plane to take at that time.D. Because he was the old man’s friend.(7)We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people. We can learn a lot about what a person is thinking by watching his or her body language. Words are important, but the way a person stands, folds his or her arms, or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings.Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. Making eye contact –looking directly into someone’s eyes –is in some counties a way to show interest. In other countries, however, eye contact is rude or disrespectful. The gesture of OK, making a circle with one’s thumb and index finger, has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who sees another person making the gesture will think it means money. In France, a person seeing the same gesture will think it means zero. In Brazil and Germany, however, the gesture is rude. The thumbs-up gesture, meaning “great” or “good job” in the US, is rude in Nigeria, but in Germany and Japan it means the number one. The “crazy” gesture, moving the index finger in a circle in front of the ear, means “you have a phone call” in Brazil.While there are many different interpretations of our body language, some gestures seem to be universal. A good way of saying “I am full” is moving the hand in circles over the stomach after a meal. If a person pats his or her stomach before a meal, it usually means “I am hungry”.Perhaps the best example of universally understood body language is the smile. A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers. A smile can open doors and tear down walls. It can be used to express almost any emotion. We can use a smile to apologize, to greet someone, to ask for help or to start a conversation. We can smile at ourselves inthe mirror to make ourselves feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than to see the smiling face of a good friend.D31. We can get information about a person’s feelings from ________.A. his wordsB. the way he standsC. the way he folds his arms or move his handsD. both his words and his body languageD32. Eye contact ________.A. is a way to show interestB. is rude or disrespectfulC. has the same meaning in all the countriesD. has different meanings in different culturesA33. A good way of saying “I’m full.” is ________.A. moving the hand in circles over the stomach after a mealB. resting one’s head on the back of one’s handC. patting the stomach before a mealD. Both A and CC34. The “crazy” gesture means ________ in Brazil.A. greatB. the number oneC. you have a phone callD. none of aboveD35. The gesture for OK, making a circle with one’s thumb and index finger, ________.A. has different meanings in different culturesB. means money in JapanC. means zero in FranceD. all of the above(8)A patient came to see me about the stress in her life. She described all the things she had to do – one was to make her bed – from the moment she woke up till she flew out the door for work.I suggested she experiment by not making her bed for two weeks.Two weeks later she breezed into my office beaming. She had left her bed unmade for the first time in 42 years –and nothing bad had happened. “And you know what,”she said, “I don’t dry my dishes any more, either.”This woman had made two major breakthroughs. One was discovering that she had choices in her life that she had never seen before. The other was giving herself permission to be less than perfect. It was a watershed experience.This story illustrates an important principle about managing time: No one can do it all. Each of us has to make choices and accept trade-offs. The problem is that many people choose in ways that put themselves and their health last. They take better care of their houses and cars than they do of themselves.They put everyone else’s needs ahead of their own. That’s fine if it’s occasional. It would even be okay if there was a balance. But most people living that way are wearing themselves out, feeling out of control. They stop exercising or start skipping meals; next they steal time from their sleep. Soon they get too busy to see friends; they stop reading or playing balls, and six months go by without a long walk. That’s not a great way to live. Fortunately, life doesn’t have to be like that.So what is the solution? In a word, prioritize. Decide what you want in your life, and put that first. On a daily basis, that should include regular meals, adequate sleep and time with your family. Exercise, leisure, friendships and hobbies should also be regular aspects of life. The point is to do something for yourself every day. The choice is yours: Whatever makes you feel good about yourself and your life. Take a nap. Take a walk. Take time to play the piano. Stop bringing your briefcase home from the office. Stop keeping your house as clean as your mother kept hers. In short, fill more of your time with want-to-dos instead of have-to-dos.Add your name to the list of people you’re trying to make happy. Not “me first” or “me only” but “me, too.” Balance is the goal. Permission is the key. And the time to start is now.A36. What was the woman’s problem?A. She felt stress in her life.B. She had difficulty falling asleep.。

But this is not always easy. What can you do if you just don’t like one of your classmates?If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends, the most important thing to learn is tolerance. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others. We can not change the way that other people do, so it is important to learn to live happily with them.Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other. Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently.Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad. Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind.You need to remember an old saying, “treat others how you want to be treated”. You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates, so it is important to treat them kindly too. If youtolerate something, it does not mean that you have to like it. No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in. Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.It is important to practice tolerance, because it will make everyone’s lives easier. Learn to accept people for their different abilities and interests. The world is very different, and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help make a difference.B 6. According to the author, what is tolerance?A. Tolerance is the ability that we have to change the way that other people do.B. Tolerance is the ability to realize and respect the differences in others.C. Tolerance is a weapon to fight against the enemy.D.

It makes you change who you are and what you believe.B. It can help us understand why people do things differently.C. It warns us to keep an even tempter and open mind.D. It is important for us to learn tolerance.D8. Why is tolerance important?A. Because it will make everyone’s lives easier.B. Because it will make everyone get on better with each other.C. Because it teaches us to respect the differences in others and not try to make them change.D. All of the above.A9. “Treat others how you want to be treated”, what does the sentence mean?A.

They want to bring water to the deserts, so that people can live and grow food. They are learning a lot about the deserts. Even so, more and more of the earth is becoming deserts all the time. Scientists may not be able to change the deserts in time.Why is more and more land becoming deserts? Scientists think that people make deserts. People are doing bad things to the earth.Some places on the earth do not get very much rain. Yet, they still do not become deserts. This is because there are some green plants growing there. Small green plants and grass are very important to dry places. Plants help keep water in the earth. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away. When a little bit ofrain falls, the plants hold water. Without plants, the land can becomea desert much more easily.A man decides to make a farm in a very dry place. He cuts down the trees. He digs in the earth and takes away the grass and plants that are already growing on the dry land. He makes a farm. He puts plants in rows. The sun is very hot. It makes the land even drier. When the rain comes, it runs between the rows of plants. It washes the good dirt away. When the wind comes, it blows between the rows of plants. It blows the good dirt away.Soon the land is not good enough for a farm any more. The man lets his animals eat all the plants on it. Now the land does not have any plants on it. The sun and wind dry the land and blow all the good dirt away. Now the land is a desert.Now it is time for man to protect his environment!D 11. ________ are doing their best to change the deserts into good land again.A. MenB. WomenC. PeopleD. ScientistsC12.

Some places have many plants.C. Plants do not let the wind blow the dirt away.D. Plants help protect the land.B14. What’s the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. A man wants to make a farm in a dry place.B. The influence of men’s activities on the environment.C. He succeeds in making a farm.D. He puts plants in rows.C15. The main idea of the whole passage is that ________.A. people work very hardB. scientists are studying the problem of desertsC. people are doing much harm to the environmentD. many good lands are becoming deserts(4)A man came home from work late again, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year-old son waiting for him at the door.“Daddy, may I ask you a question?”“Yeah, sure, what is it?” replied the man.“Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?”“That’s none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?” the man said angrily.“I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?” pleaded the littl e boy.“If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour.”“Oh,” the little bo y replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, “Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?”The father was furious. “If the only reason you wanted to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed.Think about why you’re being so selfish. I work long, hard hours every day anddon’t have time for such childish games.”The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy’s questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00, and he really didn’t ask for money very often.The man went to the door of the little boy’s room and opened the door. “Are you asleep, son?” he asked.“No daddy, I’m awake,” replied the boy.“I’ve been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier,” said the man. “It’s been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here’s that$10.00 you asked for.” The little boy sat straight up, beaming.“Oh, thank you daddy!” he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled outsome more crumpled up bills.The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man. “Why did yo u want more money if you already had some?” the father grumbled.“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” the little boy replied. “Daddy, I have $20.00 now. Can I buy an hou r of your time?”B16. What do you know about the man?A. He made a lot of money.B. He often came home from work late.C. He often went to work late.D. He spent lots of time taking care of his son.C17. Why was the boy waiting for his father at the door?A. Because he missed his father very much.B. Because he was hungry.C. Because he wanted to borrow some money from his father.D. Because he had good news to tell his father.A18. The man went to talk to his son because ________.A. he thought he might have been a little hard on his son.B. he wanted to ask his son some questions.C. he wanted to find out whether his son was asleep or not.D. his son was crying in his bedroom.D19.

What is the main idea of the passage?A. Parents should give their children some pocket money.B. Parents should not neglect (忽视) their children no matter how busy they are.C. Parents should not be hard on their children.D. Children can buy time from their parents.(5)Have you ever seen people dance? Some dance s are fast and others are slow. People’s feet move when they dance. They keep on moving until the music stops.People have enjoyed dancing for a very long time. This story is of a different kind of dance. It is a dance without people or music. Yet this dance is one of the oldest in the world. It is the dance of bees.If you have ever watched bees, you know that they are very clever. They also work hard looking for food and bringing it back to their home.The home of bees is called a bee-hive. Here hundreds —even thousands —of bees live. They work day and night building small walls of wax. Here they make their honey. This is the same honey that we eat.Where does the honey come from? Bees live on food from flowers. Have you ever seen bees flying around a flower garden? When a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the center of it. There it takes in as much food as its body can hold. Then it carries the food back to the hive.At the hive, bees change this flower food into honey. Then they fly away for more food.How do bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers?One bee acts as a guide. When it discovers good flowers, it flies back to the hive to tell the others. It does this by dancing for them.The bee dances on one side. This tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers, but that is not all. The bee dances for some time, and the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.When the other bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are. They fly away and return with more food for the hive.Sometimes we hear the music of bees as they fly around, but few people have ever seen them dance. Yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat.A 21.According to the passage, peop le don’t s top dancing until ________.A. the music stopsB. they are very tiredC. they want to go to bed。

四川英语考研真题答案解析
四川英语考研真题答案解析在追求高等学历的道路上,考研是许多大学毕业生选择的出路之一。
其中,英语科目一直被视为考研生最为头疼的一科,因为其难度较大且需要具备较为全面的英语能力。
而四川省作为中国重要的考研省份之一,其英语考研真题更是备受关注。
本文将对四川英语考研真题的答案进行详细解析,帮助考生更好地理解试题和提高备考效率。
首先,我们来看阅读理解部分。
在2019年的真题中,有一篇关于中国传统文化的文章,考察了考生们对于传统节日的理解。
其中,有一道题目是"Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the two holidays?"原文中提到,“While the Lantern Festival is all about light and wishes, the Qingming Festival has a more solemn and respectful tone.”由此可以推断,答案应该是“Qingming Festival is more serious than Lantern Festival”,即青明节比元宵节更为庄重。
在完形填空部分,2018年的真题是关于学生假期中选择旅行还是打工的文章。
其中,考生需要填入合适的形容词,以使句子通顺。
例题中提到:“The most (53) part is to make a decision on howto spend it.”空格处应填入形容词“difficult”,以完善句子的意思,即“最困难的部分是如何决定如何度过它(假期)。
”接下来是翻译题。
2017年的真题中,有一道是将"embrace change"翻译成中文。
正确的翻译应该是“拥抱变化”,因为“embrace”在这里表示接受和拥护的意思,而"change"则是变化的含义。

四川省委党校研究生入学考试复习资料英语试题第三、六套阅读题翻译(注:大家好才是真的好啊)第三套阅读理解题翻译PASSAGE ONE (P176)答案:B A C A D报纸必须向读者提供事实,即不搀杂的、无偏见的、客观选取的事实。
但是在新闻繁杂的今天,报纸必须提供更多的东西;它必须提供解说,即各种事实的含义。
这是美国新闻业面临的最重要的任务——向读者说明当今的各种问题,使国际新闻像社区新闻一样易于理解,承认再也没有什么“当地”新闻这样的事,因为国际方面的任何事件会在人力资源流动、经济压力、以及我们的生活方式产生地区性反应。
在新闻界有一种广泛存在的观点,认为当你考虑作解说时,你正进入危险的领域,即舆论的旋涡之中。
这是胡言。
反对解说的人坚持认为作者和编辑的工作应仅限于“事实”的范围内。
这种坚持产生了两个问题:什么是事实?仅仅事实足够吗?至于第一个问题,请你考虑一下,所谓“事实性”的报导是怎样发生的。
比如说,记者收集了50件事,由于版面必定有限,从这50件事中他挑选了他认为最重要的10件。
这是判断一。
然后他或他的编辑再决定在这10件事中哪一件作为头条。
(这是一项非常重要的决定,因为许多读者只看第一段。
)这是判断二。
然后编辑再决定,这篇文章是否登在第一版,因为第一版影响大,或者登在第24版,因为24版几乎没有什么影响。
这是判断三。
这样,在刊登一件所谓“事实性”或“客观性的”事件时,至少涉及到3次判断。
这些判断与解说中的判断完全一样,在解说中,记者和编辑一边参照他们的研究资料、研究背景和他们的“新闻中立主义”,一边就这条新闻的意义得出结论。
判断的这两个方面,即新闻的报导和解说,都是客观而不是主观的过程——客观得像任何一个人的存在一样。
(虽然绝对的客观是永远无法达到的,但是它永远是媒体追求的终极目标。
)假如一位编辑一心想表达他的偏见,他可以用其它比解说更有效率的方法去做这件事。
他可以选择支持他的观点的事件进行报道。
或者他可以改变刊登它的地方——把它放在第1页或第30页。
PASSAGE TWO (P177)答案:B D C B A在这个新的时代里,对美国传统特征最直接也最严重的威胁在于来自拉丁美洲特别是墨西哥的大量而持续的移民以及他们与美国本土黑人和白人出生率的差异。
美国人喜欢吹嘘过去他们在将移民同化入美国的社会、文化和政治中的成功。
但他们也容易把移民一概而论,而没有把移民区分对待;并且过于注意移民带来的经济成本和利益,而忽略社会和文化影响。
因此他们忽略了当代西班牙移民的独一无二的特色以及产生的问题。
西班牙移民对美国的影响性质和程度与以前的移民有根本性的不同,并且过去同化移民的成功对现在来自拉美的移民浪潮来说不可复制。
这一现实提出了一个根本问题:美国是否仍然能够保持一种全国语言和一个核心文化?忽略了这个问题,美国就默认了他们最终将转变为有两种文化、两种语言的两个民族。
只要想象一下如果墨西哥移民突然停止会发生什么,就不难发现墨西哥移民对美国的显著影响。
每年的合法移民数量将会减少约17万5千人,这个数据接近90年代移民改革委员会在前任美国国会议员Barbara Jordan担任主席时所建议的水平。
非法移民也会大幅度减少。
美国低收入民众的工资将会有所增加。
关于西班牙语的使用和英语是否应该成为各州和联邦政府的官方语言的讨论也会渐渐平息。
双语教育及其带来的纷争也会最终消失,对移民的福利和其他利益的争论也会随之消失。
关于移民是否造成了州政府和联邦政府的经济负担的讨论也会毫无疑义地被给予否定回答。
移民的平均教育和技能将会达到美国历史上的最高水平。
进入的移民将更加多样化,刺激所有移民学习英语和吸收美国文化。
而最重要的是,美国将不再有被分成讲西班牙语和讲英语的两个部分的可能,并且对国家文化和政治的完整性的重大威胁也会随之消失。
PASSAGE THREE (P179)答案:B C D C A因为受到篮球和橄榄球运动员毕业率持续偏低的困扰,全国大学运动员协会(NCAA)计划开始惩罚一些运动员完不成学业的学校。
这项由NCAA会长Myles Brand提出的建议有望在下个月被采纳。
这项提议是一系列改革举措中最终的关键性措施,这些改革旨在推进毕业率,使学生回归所谓的“学生运动员”。
然而,就连该计划的支持者都担心它不切实际,认为它有好的初衷,却总是被各种妥协冲淡,最终会导致很多表面文章,而非实质性的变革。
此外,还有一个广泛的观点认为该计划将无意中导致学术欺诈:更多的学校提供虚假的课程或者经删减的课程,并且为了让明星运动员保持资格,向教师施加更大压力,让他们通过考试。
但是由于一些引人注目的运动项目,特别是篮球项目的运动员一直在学业上挣扎着,NCAA的领导人认为应该采取更强有力的方针了。
尽管绝大多数的篮球运动员得到了全额奖学金,毕业率却只有40%。
NCAA将对学习表现一贯较差的学生实施制裁——禁止他们参加每年的“疯狂三月”赛事,这样一来他们也就无法得到该赛事的丰厚回报。
这项提议将对所有大型院校参赛的运动员造成影响。
它将对那些运动员毕业率持续很低的学校实施惩罚:首先是提出警告,然后他们会失去奖学金,最后禁止参加季后赛。
在这个65个队伍组成的赛事中,每个学校每一轮比赛都价值75万美金。
表现好的学校将得到奖励,目前NCAA还没决定如何奖励。
这种“胡萝卜加大棒”政策是否有效,还需要几年时间才能清楚。
持怀疑态度者说惩罚力度太弱,见效太慢。
其他人说大学教育的质量并不是仅仅通过考分和毕业率来衡量的。
英语教授Linda曾表示“毕业率本身不表示运动员受到了教育”。
她的观点在最近披露的一场期末考试中得到了证实,该考试是乔治亚洲篮球助力教练Jim Harrick Jr.在他班上举行的,共20道多项选择题,试题有“一个大学篮球比赛有几个半场?”以及“一个三分球在篮球比赛中应该计多少分?”PASSAGE FOUR (P180)答案:C B D B A为了减少我们排放到大气中的碳,通常采用的方法是降低能耗或采用可再生能源替代碳燃料。
但是即便在理想状况下,我们仍将在未来的十年继续使用煤炭等矿物燃料。
中国和印度不会突然关闭所有的燃煤电厂,西方工业巨头也不会一夜之间关闭它们的工厂。
太阳能和风能也许是如今引人注目的新能源,但煤是全世界增长最快的燃料,它是已知天然气储量的两倍,石油储量的三倍。
世界煤炭研究所所长Miltion Catelin曾在阿布扎比举行的世界未来能源峰会上说:“煤将一直存在。
”这就是为什么政府和行业近年来更加关注碳捕获和碳存储(CCS)——一种将工厂和燃煤发电站产生的二氧化碳收集起来并储存到地下的技术。
CCS有巨大的潜力,政府间气候变化专门委员会认为CCS在未来90年的碳减排工作中将起到10%~50%的作用。
虽然运行一个有CCS技术的燃煤工厂比一个普通燃煤工厂多高达40%的能耗,但CCS有潜力收集这个工厂碳排放量的约90%。
在澳大利亚新成立的全球碳捕获和碳存储研究所(GCCSI)所长Nick Otter认为,我们要竭尽全力来应对气候变化问题,对此我们需要一些现实的途径和方法。
和大多数技术一样,CCS也发展成为一种盈利方式。
石油公司将二氧化碳注入位于美国的七十年代的地下含油岩层。
这种提高采收率技术相较于直接抽取能够多采收三分之二的油。
第一个将要排放到大气中的二氧化碳存储到地下的国家是挪威。
九十年代初期挪威政府开始征收碳排放税,当地的能源巨头开始在北海的莱普内尔天然气钻井平台捕获二氧化碳并将其存储在海底一个充满盐溶液的砂岩中。
自1996年开始,这项措施将挪威的二氧化碳的年排放量减少了约100万吨,也就是1990年挪威二氧化碳排放量的3%。
这之后又有了其他项目的实施,其中近十年的一个项目是在美国和加拿大的边境上将一家燃煤电厂产生的二氧化碳进行捕获后存储在油层中。
第六套阅读理解题翻译PASSAGE ONE (P202)答案:D D B A C艺术已经存在了数千年,甚至数百万年。
它是我们情感的一种表现形式,也是与人交流的方式。
多年以来印第安人一直从事着艺术活动,艺术已成为他们生活中一个重要的部分。
艺术大多由各种材料创作而成,包括岩石、羽毛、布、泥土及织物。
编织篮是一种非常流行的两用的艺术形式。
材料通过染色做出部落图腾,最后得到一个美丽的艺术品,同时也可以用于水果和蔬菜和运送。
编织毯也是印第安人常见的艺术品。
女人们花很多个小时将线编织在一起,制成不可思议的有彩虹图腾的彩色毯子。
在寒冷地区,印第安人喜爱制作艺术品以表达对他们的动物朋友的敬意。
他们常常在鲸的牙齿上雕刻海象,用岩石制作鹰和熊。
他们制作的垂饰和雕像通常象征着部落对动物的尊敬。
印第安人的工具和武器也被看作一种艺术形式,因为他们对每件物品都注入大量的时间和精力。
印第安人最复杂精巧的艺术作品是图腾柱。
那些高大的木雕代表了历代家族成员。
它一直以来象征着印第安人的传统,也是他们艺术文化中一个真正的重要部分。
绘画是印第安人记录生活的另一种艺术形式。
不管这些画作是印第安人创作的,还是早期美国移民的描绘,这类艺术是对这个国家早期历史的一个很有价值的窥视。
很多早期的印第安绘画是叙事性的,让我们对他们的日常生活和发生的一些重大事件得以深入了解。
很多绘画是在兽皮或羊皮纸上完成的,这些羊皮纸基本上是和欧洲移民的贸易中得来。
(画作中)多处使用了颜料,这些墨水来自动物血液、植物提取液或矿石。
这些印第安绘画中展示了他们生活中的方方面面,包括格斗,传统庆典,以及日常生活场景。
随着时间流逝,许多印第安人开始创作绘画和艺术的著作。
事实上,如果没有这些绘画,在了解印第安人的生活这一复杂的谜题时将会有许多缺失的碎片。
这些艺术媒介为我们了解印第安人的风俗和传统提供了非常有价值的参考。
同时,我们在向新一代的人展示印第安人文化的时候它们也是很好的教学工具。
PASSAGE TWO (P204)答案:A C A D B准妈妈们们如今有了一个新工具来帮助她们自己和宝宝保持健康:直接发送到她们手机上的孕期小贴士。
据赞助商透露,这个被称为text4baby的活动是美国首次针对移动电话的免费健康教育项目。
主办方称,由于90%的美国人都拥有移动电话,短信是一个非常有效的健康贴士发送方式。
“尤其是当我们谈及低收入人群时,手机是联系他们、让他们关注健康的一个必不可少的工具。
” Voxiva公司的总裁Paul Meyer说。
Voxiva公司在非洲、拉丁美洲和印度运行健康短信项目。
对以上地区的研究显示,定期发送短信能够减少孕妇抽烟和其他不健康行为。
Meyer称,由Voxiva公司运行的美国项目将成为目前实施的最大的健康相关短信项目。
这项新的服务中,准妈妈们发送“BABY”至一个特定号码,从她们的预产期或宝宝的出生日期开始将每周收到短信。
