Together, more Americans watch them than attend church or vote in presidential elections.Like it or not, they are America’s preeminent means of announcing itself to the world; we can share our ideals with hundreds of millions of our friends (and enemies) around the planet.Of the two events, one emphasizes the spirit of collective effort, by gathering anonymous men in identical uniforms to sacrifice themselves for the shared ideals of the tribe. The other glorifies the exceptional individual, who is celebrated for the very beauty and talent that sets him or her apart from lesser members of the species. Virtually anywhere there is a television—in Afghanistan, in Uruguay—these grand pageants are watched.The Super Bowl offers us a model of the kind of moral clarity that can be elusive on the playing fields of our lives. Its scores are settled on neutral territory, and its teams are governed by inflexible rules. There is little room for favoritism or sentimentality or emotional nuance. Football knows right from wrong. The Super Bowl shows us a world we all can agree on—one in which, far removed from the messiness of everyday life, strength and skill and practical intelligence prevail. Its champions earn their trip to Disneyland, because they prove themselves to be rulers of a magical kingdom.The Oscars, on the other hand, restore us to the commotion of the social world. They allow charm, money, fame and influence to matter. Sex and youth count above all, which is why, to the Oscars’ disgrace, women over 40 are rarely on display. Like Greek gods, the stars of the show are magnifications of the best and worst in all of us. No matter that they arrive bedecked with jewels or with a supermodel on their arm or with a complexion whose glow is suspiciously youthful, at the Oscars they are stripped to their most vulnerable selves, utterly at the mercy of the unpredictable. The Oscars give us unfiltered human spectacle, in which one is either called to the stage to meet with approval or forced to sit and contend with feelings of neglect and disappointment.36. The author holds that the Super Bowl and the Oscars are ________.A. two key events that draw most of the world’s attention to AmericaB. the moon and the sun to Americans as well as to the rest of the worldC. the rituals that are much more important than presidential electionsD. two important occasions for the realization of American dreams37. The Super Bowl and the Oscars are similar in ________.A. giving recognition of many personal sacrificesB. conferring an honor on certain achievementsC. encouraging an endeavor for national gloryD. placing a high priority on individual talent38. The kind of moral clarity showed in the Super Bowl most probably refers to a sense of ________.A. fair playB. social responsibilityC. self-disciplineD. collective identity39. According to the author, what we all agree on about the world shown by the Super Bowl is ________.A. the possibility that everyone can winB. the types of award to the championsC. the ways of showing one’s strengthD. the criteria for judging success40. The author emphasizes that the stars at the Oscars are ________.A. a symbol of human dignityB. images of Greek godsC. a mirror of ourselvesD. ideals of social elite41. According to the author, the Oscars offer us a human scene that shows a contrast between ________.A. trust and suspicionB. justice and injusticeC. wealth and povertyD. delight and dismayPassage TwoMore than 50 years ago, the psychologist Carl Rogers suggested that simply loving our children wasn’t enough. We have to love them unconditionally—for whothey are, not for what they do.As a father, I know this is a tall order, but it becomes even more challenging now that so much of the advice we are given amounts to exactly the opposite. In effect, we’re given tips in conditional parenting, which comes in two flavors: turn up the affection when they’re good, withhold affection when they’re not.Conditional parenting isn’t limited to old-school authoritarians. Some people who wouldn’t dream of spanking choose instead to discipline their young children by forcibly isolating them, a tactic we call “time out.” Conversely, “positive reinforcement” teaches children that they are loved only when they do whatever we decide is a “good job.” The primary message o f all types of conditional parenting is that children must earn a parent’s love.The child psychologist Bruno Bettelheim, who readily acknowledged that the version of negative conditional parenting known as time-out can cause “deep feelings of anxiety,” nevertheless endorsed it for that very reason. “When our words are not enough,” he said, “the threat of the withdrawal of our love and affection is the only sound method to impress on him that he had better conform to our request.”But research suggests tha t love withdrawal isn’t particularly effective at getting compliance, much less at promoting moral development. Even if we did succeed in making children obey us, is obedience worth the possible long-term psychological harm? Should parental love be used as a tool for controlling children?Albert Bandura, the father of the branch of psychology known as social learning theory, declared that unconditional love “would make children directionless and quite unlovable”—an assertion entirely unsupported by empirical studies. The idea that children accepted for who they are would lack direction or appeal is most informative for what it tells us about the dark view of human nature held by those who issue such warnings.In practice, unconditional acceptance should be accompanied by actively imagining how things look from the child’s point of view. Most of us would protest that of course we love our children without any strings attached. But what counts is how things look from the perspective of the children—whether they feel just as loved when they mess up or fall short.42. The author thinks what Carl Rogers suggested is ________.A. hard to practice todayB. unlikely to workC. harmful to childrenD. unpopular among parents43. In conditional parenting, when childr en don’t behave themselves, parents will ________.A. warn them of the consequencesB. give them a physical punishmentC. hold back their love of themD. stress their good behavior44. Bettelheim believes that time-out ________.A. is a useful means in some casesB. causes psychological disorderC. is an unconditional parenting styleD. causes children’s disobedience45. According to research, love withdrawal would ________.A. help children build a sense of independenceB. improve a long-term parent-child relationC. do little for fostering children’s ethical valuesD. cause children to develop an aggressive tendency46. In Albert Bandura’s opinion, children accepted for who they are would ________.A. disrespect their parentsB. lack a sense of responsibilityC. be inconsiderate of othersD. be disliked by others47. According to the passage, in practicing unconditional acceptance it is essential for parents to ________.A. show respect for children’s ideasB. set a moral example for childrenC. consider environmental factorsD. watch for children’s frustrationsPassage ThreeIt’s a Monday night at MIT, just a few weeks before final exams. Grad students Tegin Teich and Todd Schenk could be studying or relaxing. Instead, they’re hustling through a maze of basement hallways in search of notorious energy hogs: vending machines. The average soda dispenser consumes 3,500 kilowatts a year—more than four times the juice for a home refrigerator. To conserve electricity, MIT’s administrators have been installing devices called Vending Misers, which use motion detectors to turn off a machine’s lights and cooling systems when people aren’t nearby, cutting energy consumption by 50%. Trouble is, MIT isn’t exactly sure whereall its vending machines are located, or which ones already have the devices installed. So tonight it’s enlisted the MIT Energy Club to help figure it out.It’s just one event on the club’s very busy calendar. With 750 students, the four-year-old group is MIT’s fastest-growing extracurricular organization. Many of its members aim to build careers in “green tech” fields, and club events offer a chance to network and learn about the challenges and opportunities in emerging energy fields. In recent weeks, members had lunch with the U.S. Energy Secretary and toured a nuclear reactor. Others discussed national biofuel policy as part of a biweekly discussion held over beer and pizza at a local pub. Club members say the group exposes them to people and ideas from other disciplines; as a result, M.B.A. types become better versed in the science of climate change, while science geeks get comfortable reading business plans and understanding concepts like return on investment. In contrast to left-leaning campus environmentalists of a decade ago, who might have joi ned Greenpeace after school, “most of our members really believe in the power of the tools of capitalism to solve the problem,” says founder Dave Danielson, who earned a Ph.D. in material sciences last fall.Down in the basement at MIT, Teich and Schenk have found a group of eight vending machines. Four of them are hooked up to Vending Misers, but only one is functioning. “This is like wiring a stereo,” Schenk says, untangling wires to make the devices work. Teich climbs on top of a different machine to pick off layers of masking tape left over from a paint job that had rendered the gizmo’s sensor inoperable. “We probably just saved MIT $100” in reduced electricity bills, Teich says. It won’t save the planet—but every bit counts.48. Tegin Teich and Todd Schenk are ________.A. fourth-year students at MITB. members of the MIT Energy ClubC. good at machine maintenanceD. environmental engineering majors49. What does the passage say about Vending Misers?A. They failed to function well as expected.B. They were designed by the MIT Energy Club.C. They can detect the presence of people.D. They keep soda dispensers working consistently.50. Many members join club’s events for ________.A. career preparationsB. leisure enjoymentsC. answering Greenpeace’s callD. opposing nuclear energy51. The club has enabled its members to ________.A. help the government with decision-makingB. become brave enough to challenge the authoritiesC. decide to invest in biofuel in the futureD. acquire much interdisciplinary knowledge52. It is implied that Greenpeace ________.A. suffered some business lossesB. prefers to recruit science studentsC. is suspicious of capitalismD. was founded by Dave Danielson53. What does the last paragraph imply about “a paint job”?A. It caused a problem to the Vending Miser.B. It was needed for repairing the Vending Miser.C. It improved the Vending Miser’s efficiency.D. It was part of what the Vending Miser did.Passage FourNo doll outshines Barbie’s celebrity. If all the Bar bies and her family members—Skipper, Francie and the rest—sold since 1959 were placed head to toe, they would circle the Earth more than seven times. And sales boomed in 2009, when the fashion doll celebrated her 50th birthday on March 9th.Barbie starred at an array of global events honouring her milestone, including a glamorous affair at New York’s Fashion Week in February. On her birthday, Mattel, the company that makes her, launched a souvenir doll honouring the original Barbie in her black-and-white striped swimsuit and perfect ponytail. It was available for purchase only that one day. Another Golden Anniversary doll targets collectors. Barbie fans planned hundreds of events, including the National Barbie Doll Collectors Convention in Washington, DC, which was sold out.When Ruth Handler created Barbie in 1959, a post-war culture and economy thrived but girls still played with baby dolls. These toys limited the imagination; so Handler introduced Barbie the Teen-Age Fashion Model, named after her daughter, Barbara. Jackie Kennedy soon walked onto the world stage and Barbie already had a wardrobe fit for a first lady. Barbie bestowed on girls the opportunity to dream beyond suburbia, even if Ken (Barbie’s fictional boyfriend) at times tagged along.Barbie entranced Europe in 1961 and now sells in 150 countries. Every second three Barbies are sold around the world. Her careers are myriad—model, astronaut, Olympic swimmer, palaeontologist and rock star, along with 100 others, includingpresident. Like any political candidate, controversy hit Barbie in 1992 when Teen Talk Barbie said “Math class is tough” and girls’ education became a national issue. She has been banned (in Saudi Arabia), tortured (by pre-teen girls, according to researchers at the University of Bath’s School of Management) and fattened (in 1997).Feminists continue to batter Barbie, claiming that her beauty and curves treat women as objects. But others see her as a pioneer trendsetter, crashing the glass ceiling long before Hillary Clinton cracked it.High-tech entertainment now attracts girls and Barbie also faces fierce competition from various copycats including the more fashionable, but less charming, Bratz dolls. The Bratz suffered a setback in 2008. Mattel sued MGA Entertainment, Bratz’s producer, for copyright infringement. A judge awarded Mattel $100m in damages.54. According to Paragraph One, Barbie ________.A. was born earlier than the dolls of any other brandsB. has long been number one in the world of dollsC. has beaten other dolls in sales 7 times since 1959D. was once taken aboard a spaceship circling the earth55. To celebrate Barbie’s 50th birthday, ________.A. a Barbie fan club was set up in Washington, DCB. the original Barbie was displayed in New YorkC. fashion shows were held worldwide on March 9thD. Barbies based on its original design appeared on the market56. Ruth Handler created Barbie in the hope that it would ________.A. dress as attractively as Jackie Kennedy didB. encourage girls to become fashion modelsC. help girls generate new ideas and wishesD. become her daughter’s constant companion57. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that Barbie used to ________.A. cause a debate in the U.S. about girls learning mathB. act as a role model in more than 100 occupationsC. face denial by the parents of many pre-teen girlsD. become fatter to cater to the overweight girls58. Feminists hate Barbie mostly because it symbolizes women’s ________.A. material comfortsB. sexual attractionC. political powerD. multiple talents59. According to the passage, MGA Entertainment ________.A. lost a fortune by losing a lawsuitB. sold a toy cat to compete with BarbieC. beat traditional Barbie with hi-techD. filed a lawsuit against MattelPassage FiveAs he has done frequently over the last 18 months, Andy Roost drove his blue diesel Peugeot 205 onto a farm, where signs pointed one way for “eggs” and another for “oil.”He unscrewed the gas cap and chatted casually as Colin Friedlos, the proprietor, poured three large jugs of used cooking oil—tinted green to indicate environmental benefit—i nto the Peugeot’s gas tank.Mr. Friedlos operates one of hundreds of small plants in Britain that are processing, and often selling to private motorists, used cooking oil, which can be poured directly into unmodified diesel cars, from Fords to Mercedes.The global recession and the steep drop in oil prices have now killed many of those large refining ventures. But smaller, simpler ones like Mr. Friedlos’s are moving in to fill the void with their direct-to-tank product, with a flood of offers of free oil from restaurants.Used cooking oil has attracted growing attention in recent years as a cleaner, less expensive alternative to fossil fuels for vehicles. In many countries, including the United States, the oil is collected by companies and refined into a form of diesel. Some cities use it in specially modified municipal buses or vans. And the occasional environmentalist has experimented with individually filtering the oil and using it as fuel.Peder Jensen, a transport specialist at the European Environment Agency, said that cooking oil fuel was “feasible” for diesel engines—Rudolf Diesel predicted that his engine, patented in the 1890s, would run on it—and that it was, “from an environmental point of view, a good idea, taking this waste and making it useful.”Others disagree. Stuart Johnson, manager of engineering and environment at V olkswagen of America, called putting raw vegetable oil in cars “a bad idea” and said, “We don’t recommend it.” The inconsistent quality of cookin g oil fuel, he said, means that “it may contain impurities and it may be too viscous,” especially for newer, more complex diesel engines with injection systems.None of that seems to stir concern in Mr. Nicholson, the Welsh entrepreneur. He said. “There is a lot of resistance,” he said, “to putting something into your preciouscar that you brewed in the kitchen sink.”60. What is true about Andy Roost with respect to using cooking oil fuel for his diesel Peugeot?A. He’s been relying on it.B. He’s just started to try it.C. He’s keen on its green color.D. He’s curious about its effect.61. Unlike those large refining ventures, Mr. Friedlos’s plant ________.A. has been enjoying an economic revivalB. operates for protecting the environmentC. produces its product at a very low costD. has switched to serve private motorists62. As to the advantage of used cooking oil over fossil fuels, the former is ________.A. based on greater sources of raw materialB. more easily processed into a form of fuelC. purer so that it is better for diesel enginesD. used more widely in the world as car fuel63. According to the passage, Rudolf Diesel was ________.A. an environmentalistB. a car ownerC. an engine designerD. a car producer64. Some people oppose the use of cooking oil fuel because it may ________.A. give little help to environmental protectionB. pose a threat to some fossil fuel businessesC. do damage to some kinds of diesel enginesD. contain things harmful to the user’s health65. Mr. Nicholson thinks that the negative opinions about the use of used cooking oil are ________.A. understandableB. unimaginableC. unreasonableD. unacceptableSection B ( 20 minutes, 10 points)Direction:In each of the following passages, five sentences have been removed fromthe original text.

Two thirds rated character and attitude as very important, whereas only 3 per cent considered university degrees to be a real asset. 66) ________Historically, it can be summarised like this: on the one hand the self-educated leaders of small businesses have viewed graduates as time-wasting and costly upstarts, while graduates have sneered at the provincial mindset and paltry pay of the non-corporate office.But according to David Bishop, of the Federation of Small Businesses, it has got more to do with practical issues. “Because of th eir size, small businesses look for generalists with broader responsibilities rather than specialists,” he says. “They are not like a major employer with hundreds of employees each assigned a specific role.”Take IT, for example. 67) ________Certainly, there is resistance within the SME (small and medium-sized enterprises) community to employing graduates. The most frequently cited reasons reported by owner managers are: perceived high costs, worries about recruitment, retention and the graduate’s commitm ent, and concern about the high risk of recruiting graduates who are seen as inexperienced and often too academic.68) ________“Recruitment is a challenge in terms of competition and costs when you can’t offer the package of an international bank, but gra duates are valuable because they are on top of innovative research and development.”69) ________Afzal Akram, chairman of Business Link for London, says that small businesses are beginning to realise the potential employee resources found in universities.“In today’s business environment, people are the real differentiator, so getting the best is crucial. Tapping the graduate recruitment market allows small businesses to access candidates with excellent skills, training and education, who are hungry and mo tivated.”70) ________They undertake projects that benefit the host business, ranging from website design, marketing and accounting system implementation to product development.。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write down the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneThe simple act of surrendering a telephone number to a store clerk may not seem harmful—so much so that many consumers do it with no questions asked. Y et that one action can set in motion a cascade of silent events, as that data point is acquired, analyzed, categorized, stored and sold over and over again. Future attacks on your privacy may come from anywhere, from anyone with money to purchase that phone number you surrendered. If you doubt the multiplier effect, consider your e-mail inbox. If it’s loaded with spam (垃圾邮件), it’s undoubtedlybecause at some point in time you unknowingly surrendered your e-mail to the wrong web site.Do you think your telephone number or address is handled differently? Acottage industry of small companies with names you ’ve probably never heard of —like Acxiom or Merlin —buy and sell your personal information the way other commodities like corn or cattle futures are bartered. Y ou may think your cell phone is unlisted, but if you ’ve ever ordered a pizza, it might not be. Merlin is one of many commercial data brokers that advertises sale of unlisted phone numbers compiled from various sources —including pizza delivery companies. These unintended, unpredictable consequences that flow from simple actions make privacy issues difficult to grasp, and grapple with.In a larger sense, privacy also is often cast as a tale of “Big Brother ”—the government is watching you or a big corporation is watching you. But privacy issues don ’t necessarily involve large faceless institutions: A spouse takes a casual glance at her husband ’s Blackberry , a co-worker looks at e-mail over your shoulder or a friend glances at a cell phone text message from the next seat on the bus. while very little of this is news to anyone —people are now well aware there are video cameras and Internet cookies everywhere —there is abundant evidence that people live their lives ignorant of the monitoring, assuming a mythical level of privacy . People write e-mails and type instant messages they never expect anyone to see. Just ask Mark Foley or even Bill Gates, whose e-mails were a cornerstone of the Justice Department ’s antitrust case against Microsoft.And polls and studies have repeatedly shown that Americans are indifferent to privacy concerns. The general defense for such indifference is summed up a single phrase: “I have nothing to hide.” If you have nothing to hide, why shouldn ’t the government be able to peek at your phone records, your wife see your e-mail or a company send you junk mail? It ’s a powerful argument, one that privacy advocates spend considerable time discussing and strategizing over.It is hard to deny , however, that people behave different when they ’re being学号: 姓名: 学院: 年级: 专业:------------------------------------------------- 密 - 封 - 线 --------------------------------------------------watched. And it is also impossible to deny that Americans are now being watched more than at any time in history.1) In the first paragraph, the telephone number is cited to show _________.A. many customers didn’t keep their privacy confidentialB. it is harmful to give a store clerk a telephone numberC. careless disposal of personal information can be harmfulD. customers should inquire its use when giving telephone numbers to others2) What do companies like Acxiom and Merlin do?A. Compile telephone directories for businessmen.B. Collect and sell personal information to make a profit.C. Trade commodities like corn on the market.D. Crack down crimes like stealing private information.3) From Paragraph 3, we learn that _________.A. cases of privacy intrusion happen only in large institutionsB. people are quite aware of how their privacy is intrudedC. it is not privacy intrusion when a wife glances at her husband’s cell phoneD. Bill Gates’ e-mail messages were cited as evidence against him4) It can be inferred from the fourth paragraph that the author thinks _________.A. Americans are actually concerned about privacy issuesB. Americans are indifferent to privacy concernsC. Americans are very frank about privacy concernsD. Americans are puzzled about privacy concerns5) Which of the following is the author’s viewpoint?A. Never give your private information to anyone.B. People should pay more attention to their privacy issues.C. Do not surrender your email to any website.D. It does no good saying “I have nothing to hide”.Passage TwoSome animal behaviorists argue that certain animals can remember past events, anticipate future ones, make plans and choices, and coordinate activities within a group. These scientists, however, are cautious about the extent to which animals can be credited with conscious processing.Explanations of animal behavior that leave out any sort of consciousness at all and ascribe actions entirely to instinct leave many questions unanswered. One example of such unexplained behavior: Honeybees communicate the sources of nectar to one another by doing a dance in a figure-eight pattern. The orientation of the dance conveys the position of the food relative to the sun’s position in the sky, and the speed of the dance tells how far the food source is from the hive. Most researchers assume that the ability to perform and encode the dance is innate and shows no special intelligence. But in one study, when experimenters kept changing the site of the food source, each time moving the food 25 percent farther from the previous site, foraging honeybees began to anticipate where the food source would appear next. When the researchers arrived at the new location, they would find the bees circling the spot, waiting for their food. No one has yet explained how bees, whose brains weigh four ten-thousandths of an ounce, could have inferred the location of the new site.Other behaviors that may indicate some cognition include tool use. Many animals, like the otter who uses a stone to crack mussel shells, are capable of using objects in the natural environment as rudimentary tools. One researcher has found that mother chimpanzees occasionally show their young how to use tools to open hard nuts. In one study, chimpanzees compared two pairs of food wells containing chocolate chips. One pair might contain, say, five chips and three chips, the other four chips and three chips. Allowed to choose which pair they wanted, the chimpanzees almost always chose the one with the higher total, showing some sort of summing ability. Other chimpanzees have learned to use numerals to label quantities of items and do simple sums.6) What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The role of instinct in animal behavior.B. Observations that suggest consciousness in animal behavior.C. The use of food in studies of animal behavior.D. Differences between the behavior of animals in their natural environmentsand in laboratory experiments.7) Which of the following is NOT discussed as an ability animals are thought tohave?A. Selecting among choices.B. Anticipating events to come.C. Remembering past experiences.D. Communicating emotions.8) What is the purpose of the honeybee dance?A. To determine the quantity of food at a site.B. To communicate the location of food.C. To increase the speed of travel to food sources.D. To identify the type of nectar that is available.9) It can be inferred from the statement about mother chimpanzees and their young(lines 3-5 in Paragraph 3) that young chimpanzees have difficulty in _______.A. communicating with their mothersB. adding quantitiesC. making choicesD. opening hard nuts10) Scientists concluded from the experiment with chimpanzees and chocolatechips that chimpanzees _______.A. lack abilities that other primates haveB. prefer to work in pairs or groupsC. exhibit behavior that indicates certain mathematical abilitiesD. have difficulty selecting when given choicesPassage ThreeSomeday a stranger will read your e-mail without your permission or scan the Website you’ve visited ,or perhaps someone will casually glance through yourcredit card purchases or cell phone bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.In fact, it’s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you without your permission? It might be a spouse, a girl friend, a marketing company , a boss, a cop or a criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen —the 21st century equivalent of being caught naked.Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy , that it’s important to reveal yourself to friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. But few boundaries remain. The digital bread crumbs(碎屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal what you think. Like it or not, increasingly we live in a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.The key question is: Does that matter?For many Americans, the answer apparently is “no”.When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy , most say they are concerned about losing it. A survey found an overwhelming pessimism about privacy , with 60 percent of respondents saying they feel their privacy is “slipping away , and that bothers me.”But people say one thing and do another. Only a tiny fraction of Americans change any behaviors in an effort to preserve their privacy . Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费站) to avoid using the EZ-Pass system that can track automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket loyalty cards. Privacy economist A lessandro Acauisti has run a series of tests that reveal people will surrender personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50-cents-off coupon.学号: 姓名: 学院: 年级: 专业:------------------------------------------------- 密 - 封 - 线 --------------------------------------------------But privacy does matter—at least sometimes. It’s like health: When you have it, you don’t notice it. Only when it’s gone do you wish you’d done more to protect it.11) What does the author mean by saying “the 21st century equi valent of beingcaught naked” (lines 4-5, Para.2)?A. People’s personal information is easily accessed without their knowledge.B. In the 21st century people try every means to look into others’ secrets.C. People tend to be more frank with each other in the information age.D. Criminals are easily caught on the spot with advanced technology.12) What would psychologists advise on the relationships between friends?A. Friends should open their hearts to each other.B. Friends should always be faithful to each other.C. There should be a distance even between friends.D. There should be fewer disputes between friends.13) Why does the author say “we live in a wor ld where you simply cannot keep asecret” (line 6, Para.3)?A. Modern society has finally evolved into an open society.B. People leave traces around when using modern technology.C. There are always people who are curious about others’ affairs.D. Many se arch engines profit by revealing people’s identities.14) What do most Americans do with regard to privacy protection?A. They change behaviors that might disclose their identity.B. They use various loyalty cards for business transactions.C. They rely most and more on electronic devices.D. They talk a lot but hardly do anything about it.15) According to the passage, privacy is like health in that _________.A. people will make every effort to keep itB. its importance is rarely understoodC. it is something that can easily be lost第 11 页 (共 11 页) D. people don’t cherish it until they lose itDirections: Paraphrase the following sentences into your own words.1) All the words and theories and techniques are of no use to students who have yet to open themselves with receptivity and to take it upon themselves to practice.2) It is not knowing in the sense of having a rigid opinion but the ability to look again at another time, in a different light, as Gyorgyi suggests, and to form a new understanding based on that observation.3) My credit card was a fairly pathetic, status-free dark blue, whereas hers was a very exclusive gold one.4) On further questioning, however, the difference turned out to be more a matter of semantics than practice: What the women were happy to call “gossip ”, the men defined as “exchanging information ”.五、翻译(共5题,每题3分,共15分) Directions: Translate the following sentences from Chinese to English.1) 一个工于心计的人喜欢玩诡计,但往往没有大智慧。

军校考试:2012年军校考试英语阅读理解试题关键词:军考张为臻军考英语阅读理解军校考试军考培训二、阅读理解(共40分,每小题2分)Passage 1Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings.Thus the limits of a person’s intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways.It is easy to show that intelligence is something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people is, the closer they are in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If, on the other hand, we take two identical twins, they will possibly be as intelligent as each other. Relatives like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth.Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences inintelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also proved by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.16. Which of these statements best describes the writer’s view in Para. 1?A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth.B. Intelligence is developed by the environment.C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid.D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment.17. In Para. 1, the underlined word “surroundings” means _________.A. intelligenceB. lifeC. environmentsD. housing18.

Environment In Developing IntelligencePassage 2Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members, especially their parents, don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can sometimes go to their friends for advice. It is very important for teenagers to have at least one good friend. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking with them on the phone. This communication is very important in children’s growing up because they can discuss with their friends the problems that are difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose friends for their children. Some parents may even prevent their children from meeting their good friends. The question of “choice” is very interesting. Have you ever thought of the following questions?· Who choose your friends?· Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?· Have you got a good friend your parents don’t like?21. Many teenagers think their _________ know them more than their parents do.A. friendsB. teachersC. brothers and sistersD. classmates22. When teenagers stay alone, the usual way of communication is to ________.A. go to their fiendsB. talk with their parentsC. have a discussion with their familyD. talk with their friends on the phone23. Which of the following statements is DIFFERENT in meaning from the sentence “Some parents may even prevent their children from meeting their good friends.”?A. Some parents may even not allow their children to meet their good friends.B. Some parents may even ask their children to stay away from their good friends.C. Some parents may even not let their children meet their good friends.D. Some parents may want their children to stop to meet their good friends.24. What is implied in the passage?A. Parents should like everything their children enjoy.B. In all families, children can choose everything they like.C. Parents should try their best to understand their children better.D. Teenagers can only go to their friends for advice.25. The main idea of this passage is that ________.A. teenagers attach much importance to their friendsB. friends can give good adviceC. parents often choose their children’s friends for themD. good friends can communicate with each otherPassage 3Thousands of years ago people guessed the time of a day by watching the sun. Later, they found it was easier to tell the exact time by looking at the shadows. Thus, the sundial (日晷) was invented.The sundial proved a useful timepiece in sunny weather. However, another type of timepiece was necessary for cloudy weather and nigh time.A sand glass was another common measure of time. Two glass bottles were connected by a very small opening. The top bottle was filled with sand, which dropped slowly into the bottom one in a certain period of time. Hourglasses were widely used then. Three-minute sand glasses are still used in many homes to time the boiling of eggs.The real ancestor of modem clocks was the water clock. In China, an early water clock was made up of several bowls. Water trickled from one bowl to another to keep the clock going. Visitors to the Beijing Palace Museum can still see the old water clocks showing the time there.In the Middle Ages a waterless clock was invented which worked by means of weight. To keep the weight falling at the same speed, a system of wheels was invented. The pendulum (钟摆) was soon developed to control the speed of the wheels. Thus the modem form of clock came into being.26. Ancient people could guess the day time by________.A. the sunB. the starC. the weatherD. the water27. Three-minute sand glasses are still used in many homes _________.A. to boil eggsB. to measure the time of boiling eggsC. to hold the boiled eggsD. to have eggs boiled28. If you visit Beijing Palace Museum, you _________A. will see the old water clocks brokenB. will find the time shown by the old water clocks is wrongC. can find the old water clocks still telling the time thereD. will find the old water clocks have gone29. In the Middle Ages the falling speed of a weight was kept by _________A. several bowlsB. a system of wheelsC. a system of pendulumD. several springs30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. The sundial could tell time in any weather.B. Sand glasses are not used today.C. The ancestor of modern clocks was the pendulum.D. The modem form of clock came into being after the pendulum was developed.Passage 4When Chato’s barking didn’t stir Jerrica Seals, the recently adopted dog tried biting on the teenager’s leg to get the girl out of her burning house.No one was hurt. Fort Myers firefighters responded at about 7: 00 a. m.Five people lived in the Garcia’s home. That was neighbor Janice Hamilton’s main concern when she looked out of her window Friday and saw the flames. “I just threw my pants on to run outside to make sure they know how many people lived there.” Halmiton said. “It was scary.”“Seals called me screaming,” said Leticia Vega, 36, the sister of Seals’ boyfriend, Javier Garcia, 23, who owns the home. “She said the dog woke her up barking, jumped on the bed and bit her on the leg.”It is said that Garcia’s brother Gabrief brought Chato home several weeks ago after the animal wandered onto a Lehigh Acres construction site. Since then, Vega said, Chato had been mostly quiet until it mattered. “He doesn’t usually bark,” Vega said. “He’s really friendly.”According to deputy fire chief Steve Clyatt, possibly the fire started because of an inadequate extension cord used on a window air conditioner. More than half of the home was burned down. There was extensive smoke and water damage in the remainder of the structure.Estimates for repair costs were unavailable. “I’d say it’s unlikely they will recover this, but I’ve been surprised before.” Clyatt said.31. Who brought Chato home’?A. Jerrica Seals.B. Janice Hamilton.C. Javier Garcia.D. Gabrief.32. We know from the report EXCEPT ________.A. the relationship between Seals and GarciaB. the person who called the firefightersC. the possible cause of the accidentD. the owner of the house33.

2022年考研考博-考博英语-国防科技大学考试全真模拟易错、难点剖析B卷(带答案)一.综合题(共15题)1.单选题Roger Rosenblatt’s book Black Fiction, in attempting to apply literary rather than sociopolitical criteria to its subject, successfully alters the approach taken by most previous studies. As Rosenblatt notes, criticism of Black writing has often served as a pretext for expounding on Black history. Addison Gayle’s recent work, for example, judges the value of Black fiction by overtly political standards, rating each work according to the notions of Black identity which it propounds.Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances, its authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological, and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology circumvents much of the fictional enterprise. Rosenblatt’s literary analysis discloses affinities and connections among works of Black fiction which solely political studies have overlooked or ignored.Writing acceptable criticism of Black fiction, however, presupposes giving satisfactory answers to a number of questions. First of all, is there a sufficient reason, other than the racial identity of the authors, to group together works by Black authors? Second, how does Black fiction make itself distinct from other modern fiction with which it is largely contemporaneous? Rosenblatt shows that Black fiction constitutes a distinct body of writing that has an identifiable, coherent literary tradition. Looking at novels written by Blacks over the last eighty years, he discovers recurring concerns and designs independent of chronology. These structures are thematic, and they spring, not surprisingly, from the central fact that the Black characters in these novels exist in a predominantly White culture, whether they try to conform to that culture or rebel against it.Black Fiction do es leave some aesthetic questions open. Rosenblatt’s thematic analysis permits considerable objectivity; he even explicitly states that it is not his intention to judge the merit of the various works—yet his reluctance seems misplaced, especially since an attempt to appraise might have led to interesting results. For instance, some of the novels appear to be structurally diffuse. Is this a defect, or are the authors working out of, or trying to forge, a different kind of aesthetic? In addition, the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomer’s Cane, verges on expressionism or surrealism; does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent theme that portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted, a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression?In spite of such omissions, what Rosenblatt does include in his discussion makes for an astute and worthwhile study. Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels, bringing to our attention in the process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon Johnson’s Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man. Its argument is tightly constructed, and its forthright, lucid style exemplifies levelheaded and penetrating criticism.46. The author of the passage objects to criticism of Black fiction like that by Addison Gayle because it ______. 47. The author of the passage is primarily concerned with ______.48. The author of the passage believes that Black Fiction would have been improved had Rosenblatt ______.49. The author of the passage refers to James Weldon Johnson’s Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man most probably in order to ______.问题1选项A.emphasizes purely literary aspects of such fictionB.misinterprets the ideological content of such fictionC.misunderstands the notions of Black identity contained in such fictionD.substitutes political for literary criteria in evaluating such fiction问题2选项A.evaluating the soundness of a work of criticismparing various critical approaches to a subjectC.discussing the limitations of a particular kind of criticismD.summarizing the major points made in a work of criticism问题3选项A.evaluated more carefully the ideological and historical aspects of Black fictionB.attempted to be more objective in his approach to novels and stories by black authorsC.explored in greater detail the recurrent thematic concerns of Black fiction throughout its historyD.assessed the relative literary merit of the novels he analyzes thematically问题4选项A.point out affinities between Rosenblatt’s method of thematic analysis and earlier criticismB.clarify the point about expressionistic style made earlier in the passageC.qualify the assessment of Rosenblatt’s book made in the first paragraph of the passageD.give a specific example of one of the accomplishments of Rosenblatt’s【答案】第1题:D第2题:A第3题:D第4题:D【解析】46.【试题答案】D【试题解析】推理判断题。

国防科技大学考博英语模拟真题及其解析
国防科技大学考博英语模拟真题及其解析Many objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science,but their form and function,their dimensions and appearance,weredetermined by technologists,artisans,designers,inventors,andengineers—using nonscientific modes of thought.Many features andqualities of the objects that a technologist thinks about cannot bereduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions;they are dealt with inthe mind by a visual,nonverbal process.In the development of Westerntechnology,it has been nonverbal thinking,by and large,that hasfixed the outlines and filled in the details of our material Geng duoyuan xiao wan zheng kao bo ying yu zhen ti ji qi jie xi qing lian xiquan guo mian fei zi xun dian hua:si ling ling liu liu ba liu jiuqi ba,huo jia zi xun qq:qi qi er liu qi ba wu san qi surroundings.Pyramids,cathedrals,and rockets exist not because of geometry orthermodynamics,but because they were first a picture in the mindsof those who built them.The creative shaping process of a technologist’s mind can be seenin nearly every artifact that exists.For example,in designing adiesel engine,a technologist might impress individual ways ofnonverbal thinking on the machine by continually using an intuitivesense of rightness and fitness.What would be the shape of thecombustion chamber?Where should be valves be placed?Should it havea long or short piston?Such questions have a range of answers thatare supplied by experience,by physical requirements,by limitationsof available space,and not least by a sense of form.Some decisionssuch as wall thickness and pin diameter,may depend on scientific calculations,but the nonscientific component of design remains primary.Design courses,then,should be an essential element in engineering curricula.Nonverbal thinking,a central mechanism in engineering design,involves perceptions,the stock-in-trade of the artist,not the scientist.Because perceptive processes are not assumed to entail“hard thinking,”nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in the development of cognitive processes and inferior to verbal or mathematical thought.But it is paradoxical that when the staff of the Historic American Engineering Record wished to have drawings made of machines and isometric views of industrial processes for its historical record of American engineering,the only college students with the requisite abilities were not engineering students,but rather students attending architectural schools.If courses in design,which in a strongly analytical engineering curriculum provide the background required for practicalproblem-solving,are not provided,we can expect to encounter silly but costly errors occurring in advanced engineering systems.For example,early models of high-speed railroad cars loaded with sophisticated controls were unable to operate in a snowstorm because a fan sucked snow into the electrical system.Absurd random failures that plague automatic control systems are not merely trivial aberrations;they are a reflection of the chaos that results whendesign is assumed to be primarily a problem in mathematics.1.In the text,the author is primarily concerned with[A]identifying the kinds of thinking that are used by technologists.[B]stressing the importance of nonverbal thinking in engineering design.[C]proposing a new role for nonscientific thinking in the development of technology.[D]contrasting the goals of engineers with those of technologists.2.It can be inferred that the author thinks engineering curricula are[A]strengthened when they include courses in design.[B]weakened by the substitution of physical science courses for courses designed to develop mathematical skills.[C]strong because nonverbal thinking is still emphasized by most of the courses.[D]strong despite the errors that graduates of such curricula have made in the development of automatic control systems.3.Which of the following statements best illustrates the main point of the first two paragraphs of the text?[A]When a machine like a rotary engine malfunctions,it is the technologist who is best equipped to repair it.[B]Each component of an automobile—for example,the engineor the fuel tank—has a shape that has been scientifically determined to be best suited to that component’s function.[C]A telephone is a complex instrument designed by technologists using only nonverbal thought.[D]The distinctive features of a suspension bridge reflect its designer’s conceptualization as well as the physical requirements of its site.4.Which of the following statements would best serve as an introduction to the text?[A]The assumption that the knowledge incorporated in technological developments must be derived from science ignores the many nonscientific decisions made by technologists.[B]Analytical thought is no longer a vital component in the success of technological development.[C]As knowledge of technology has increased,the tendency has been to lose sight of the important role played by scientific thought in making decisions about form,arrangement,and texture.[D]A movement in engineering colleges toward a technician’s degree reflects a demand for graduates who have the nonverbal reasoning ability that was once common among engineers.5.The author calls the predicament faced by the Historic American Engineering Record“paradoxical”(line6,paragraph3)most probably because[A]the publication needed drawings that its own staff could notmake.[B]architectural schools offered but did not require engineering design courses for their students.[C]college students were qualified to make the drawings while practicing engineers were not.[D]engineering students were not trained to make the type of drawings needed to record the development of their own discipline.
