(10 points)Text 1①For centuries men dreamed of achieving vertical flight. ②In 400 A.D. Chinese children played with a fan-like toy that spun upwards and fell back to earth as rotation ceased. ③Leonardo da Vinci conceive the first mechanical apparatus, called a “Helix,” which could carry man straight up, but was only a design and was never tested.①The ancient-dream was finally realized in 1940 when a Russian engineer piloted a strange looking craft of steel tubing with a rotating fan on top. ②It rose awkwardly and vertically into the air from a standing start, hovered a few feet above the ground, went sideways and backwards, and then settled back to earth. ③The vehicle was called a helicopter.①Imaginations were fired. ②Men dreamed of going to work in their own personal helicopters. ③People anticipate that vertical flight transports would carry millions of passengers as do the airliners of today. ④Such fantastic expectations were not fulfilled.①The helicopter has now become an extremely useful machine. ②It excels in military missions, carrying troops, guns and strategic instruments where other aircraft cannot go. ③Corporations use them as airborne offices, many metropolitan areas use them in police work, construction and logging companies employ them in various advantageous ways, engineers use them for site selection and surveying, and oil companies use them as the best way to make offshore and remote work stations accessible to crews and supplies. ④Any urgent mission to a hard-to-get-to place is a likely task for a helicopter. ⑤Among their other multitude of uses: deliver people across town, fly to and from airports, assist in rescue work, and aid in the search for missing or wanted persons.11.

In ancient Greece, the Olympic Games________.[A] were merely national athletic festivals[B] were in the nature of a national event with astrong religious colour[C] had rules which put foreign participants in adisadvantageous position[D] were primarily national events with fewforeign participants17. In the early days of ancient OlympicGames ________.[A] only male Greek athletes were allowed toparticipate in the games[B] all Greeks, irrespective of sex, religion orsocial status, were allowed to take part[C] all Greeks, with the exception of women,were allowed to compete in Games[D] all male Greeks were qualified to competein the Games18.

Nowadays, the athletes’ expenses are paidfor ________.[A] out of the prize money of the winners[B] out of the funds raised by the competingnations[C] by the athletes themselves[D] by contributionsText 3①In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization’s every step in s earch of reality. ②Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish-brown gum. ③Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “really” are. ④“Ele ctricity,” Bertrand Russell says, “is not a thing, like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. ⑤When we have told how things behave when theyare electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.”⑥Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. ⑦Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. ⑧He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that’s where they belong, and smoke goes up because that’s where it belongs. ⑨The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. ⑩Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.21. The aim of controlled scientificexperiments is ________.[A] to explain why things happen[B] to explain how things happen[C] to describe self-evident principles[D] to support Aristotelian science22. What principles most influenced scientificthought for two thousand years?[A] the speculations of Thales[B] the forces of electricity, magnetism, andgravity[C] Aristotle’s natural science[D] Galileo’s discoveries23. Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricityis ________.[A] disapproved of by most modern scientists[B] in agreement with Aristotle’s theory ofself-evident principles[C] in agreement with scientific investigationdirected toward “how” things happen[D] in agreement with scientific investigationdirected toward “why” things happen24. The passage says that until recentlyscientists disagreed with the idea ________.[A] that there are mysterious forces in theuniverse[B] that man cannot discover what forces“really” are[C] that there are self-evident principles[D] that we can discover why things behave asthey do25. Modern science came into being________.[A] when the method of controlled experimentwas first introduced[B] when Galileo succeeded in explaining howthings happen[C] when Aristotelian scientist tried to explainwhy things happen[D] when scientists were able to acquire anunderstanding of reality of reasoningSection III English-Chinese TranslationTranslate the following passage into Chinese. Only the underlined sentences are to be translated. (20 points)Have there always been cities? (26) Life without large urban areas may seem inconceivable to us, but actually cities are relatively recent development. Groups with primitive economics still manage without them. The trend, however, is for such groups to disappear, while cities are increasingly becoming the dominant mode of man’s social existence. (27) Historically, city life has always been among the elements which form a civilization. Any high degree of human endeavor and achievement has been closely linked to life in an urban environment. (28) It is virtually impossible to imagine that universities, hospitals, large businesses or even science and technology could have come into being without cities to support them. To most people, cities have traditionally been the areas where there was a concentration of culture as well as of opportunity. (29) In recent years, however, people have begun to become aware that cities are also areas where there is a concentration of problems. What has happened to the modern American city? Actually, the problem is not such a new one. Long before this century started, there had begun a trend toward the concentration of the poor of the American society into the cities. Each great wave of immigration from abroad and from the rural areas made the problem worse. During this century, there has also been the development of large suburban areas surrounding the cities, for the rich prefer to live in these areas. Within the cities, sections may be sharply divided into high and low rent districts, the “right side of town” and the slums.Of course, everyone wants to do something about this unhappy situation. But there is no agreement as to goals. Neither is there any systematic approach or integrated program. Opinions are as diverse as the people who give them. (30) But one basic difference of opinion concerns the question of whether or not the city as such is to be preserved. Perhaps transportation and the means of communication have really made it possible for there to be an end to the big cities. Of course, there is the problem of persuading people to move out of them of their own free will. (31) And there is also the objection that the city has always been the core from which cultural advancement has radiated. Is this, however, still the case today in the presence of easy transportation and communication? Doesculture arise as a result of people living together communally, or is it too the result of decisions made at the level of government and the communications industry?It is probably true to say that most people prefer to preserve the cities. Some think that the cities could be cleaned up or totally rebuilt. This is easy to say; it would not be so easy to do. (32) To be sure, a great rebuilding project would give jobs to many of those people who need them. Living conditions could not help but improve, at least for a while. But would the problems return after the rebuilding was completed?Nevertheless, with the majority of the people living in urban areas, the problem of the cities must be solved.(33) From agreement on this general goal, we have, unfortunately, in the past proceeded to disagreement on specific goals, and from there to total inaction. At the basis of much of this inaction is an old-fashioned concept -- the idea human conditions will naturally tend to regulate themselves for the general goal.。

People anticipate that vertical flight transports would carry millions of passengers as do the airliners of today.Such fantastic expectations were not fulfilled.The helicopter has now become an extremely useful machine.It excels in military missions, carrying troops,guns and strategic instruments where other aircraft cannot go.Corporations use them as airborne offices,many metropolitan areas use them in police work,construction and logging companies employ them in various advantageous ways,engineers use them for site selection and surveying,and oil companies use them as the best way to make offshore and remote work stations accessible to crews and supplies.Any urgent mission to a hard-to-get-to place is a likely task for a helicopter.Among their other multitude of used:deliver people across town,fly to and from airports,assist in rescue work,and aid in the search for missing or wanted persons.11.People expect that________.[A]the airliners of today would eventually be replaced by helicopters[B]helicopters would someday be able to transport large number of people from place toplace as airliners are now doing[C]the imaginations fired by the Russian engineer’s invention would become a reality inthe future[D]their fantastic expectations about helicopters could be fulfilled by airliners of today12.Helicopters work with the aid of________.[A]a combination of rotating devices in front and on top[B]a rotating device topside[C]one rotating fan in the center of the aircraft and others at each end[D]a rotating fan underneath for lifting13.What is said about the development of the helicopter?[A]Helicopters have only been worked on by man since1940.[B]Chinese children were the first to achieve flight in helicopters.[C]Helicopters were considered more dangerous than the early airplanes.[D]Some people thought they would become widely used by average individuals.14.How has the use of helicopters developed?[A]They have been widely used for various purposes.[B]They are taking the place of high-flying jets.[C]They are used for rescue work.[D]They are now used exclusively for commercial projects.15.Under what conditions are helicopters found to be absolutely essential?[A]For overseas passenger transportation.[B]For extremely high altitude flights.[C]For high-speed transportation.[D]For urgent mission to places inaccessible to other kinds of craft.Text2In ancient Greece athletic festivals were very important and had strong religious associations.The Olympian athletic festival held every four years in honor of Zeus,king of the Olympian Gods,eventually lost its local character,became first a national event and then,after the rules against foreign competitors had been abolished,international.No one knows exactly how far back the Olympic Games go,but some official records date from776B.C.The games took place in August on the plain by Mount Olympus.Many thousands of spectators gathered from all parts of Greece,but no married woman was admitted even as a spectator.Slaves,women and dishonored persons were not allowed to compete.The exact sequence of events uncertain, but events included boy’s gymnastics,boxing,wrestling,horse racing and field events,though there were fewer sports involved than in the modern Olympic Games.On the last day of the Games,all the winners were honored by having a ring of holy olive leaves placed on their heads.So great was the honor that the winner of the foot race gave his name to the year of his victory.Although Olympic winners received no prize money,they were, in fact,richly rewarded by their state authorities.How their results compared with modern standards,we unfortunately have no means of telling.After an uninterrupted history of almost1,200years,the Games were suspended by the Romans in394A.D.They continued for such a long time because people believed in the philosophy behind the Olympics:the idea that a healthy body produced a healthy mind,and that the spirit of competition in sports and games was preferable to the competition that caused wars. It was over1,500years before another such international athletic gathering took place in Athens in1896.Nowadays,the Games are held in different countries in turn.The host country provides vast facilities,including a stadium,swimming pools and living accommodation,but competing courtiers pay their own athletes’expenses.The Olympics start with the arrival in the stadium of a torch,lighted on Mount Olympus by the sun’s rays.It is carried by a succession of runners to the stadium.The torch symbolized the continuation of the ancient Greek athletic ideals,and it burns throughout the Games until the closing ceremony.The well-known Olympic flag,however,is a modern conception:the five interlocking rings symbolize the uniting of all five continents participating in the Games.16.In ancient Greece,the Olympic Games________.[A]were merely national athletic festivals[B]were in the nature of a national event with a strong religious colour[C]had rules which put foreign participants in a disadvantageous position[D]were primarily national events with few foreign participants17.In the early days of ancient Olympic Games________.[A]only male Greek athletes were allowed to participate in the games[B]all Greeks,irrespective of sex,religion or social status,were allowed to take part[C]all Greeks,with the exception of women,were allowed to compete in Games[D]all male Greeks were qualified to compete in the Games18.The order of athletic events at the ancient Olympics________.[A]has not definitely been established[B]varied according to the number of foreign competitors[C]was decided by Zeus,in whose honor the Games were held[D]was considered unimportant19.Modern athletes’results cannot be compared with those of ancient runners because________.[A]the Greeks had no means of

money of the winners[B]out of the funds raised by the competing nations[C]by the athletes themselves[D]by contributionsText3In science the meaning of the word“explain”suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality.Science cannot really explain electricity,magnetism,and gravitation;their effects can be measured and predicted,but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber,a hard yellowish-brown gum.Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these

历年考研英语一阅读真题翻译
2014年考研英语阅读真题Text 1In order to “change lives for the better” and reduce “dependency,” George Osbome,Chancellor of the Exchequer, introduced the “upfront work search” scheme. Only if the jobless arrive at the job centre with a register for online job search, and start looking for work will they be eligible for benefit-and then they should report weekly rather than fortnightly. What could be more reasonable?为了“让生活变得更美好”以及减少“依赖”，英国财政大臣乔治•奥斯本引入了“求职预付金”计划。
只有当失业者带着简历到就业中心，注册在线求职并开始找工作，才有资格获得补助金——然后他们应该每周而非每两周报告一次。
有什么比这更合理呢？More apparent reasonableness followed. There will now be a seven-day wait for the jobseeker’s allowance. “Those first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on.” he claimed. “We’re doing these things because we k now they help people say off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster” Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better, complete with “reforms” to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsides laziness. What motivated him, we were to understand, was his zeal for “fundamental fairness”-protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits.更加明显的合理性如下。

下⾯是⼩编给⼤家准备的考研英语阅读的真题及全⽂翻译，欢迎⼤家阅读练习! Being a man has always been dangerous. There are about 105 males born for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity, and among 70-year-olds there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal of male mortality is being changed. Now, by babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that, for the first time, there will be an excess of boys in those crucial years when they are searching for a mate. More important, another chance for natural selection has been removed. Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby (particularly a boy baby)surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death. Today it makes almost no difference. Since much of the variation is due to genes one more agent of evolution has gone. There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. Few people are as fertile as in the past. Except in some religious communities, very few women has 15 children. Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us have roughly the same number of offspring. Again, differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished. India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples. The grand mediocrity of today ---everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring---means that natural selection has lost 80% of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribes. For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. Strangely, it has involved little physical change No other species fills so many places in nature. But in the pass 100,000 years--- even the past 100year ---our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We did not evolve, because machines and society did it for us. Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution: they "look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension." No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. But however amazed our descendants may be at how far from Utopia we were, they will look just like us. 5. What used to be the danger in being a man according to the first paragraph? [A]A lack of mates. [B]A fierce competition. [C]A lower survival rate. [D]A defective gene. 6.

A danger危险,危害 B chance可能性；机会,时机；风险C risk危险,风险D opportunity时机,机会本题考核的知识点是：固定搭配;快速解题上文说支票并非真正的钱not real money,本身是没有价值的valueless;本句紧接着指出当店员接受支票时,他总是在……;根据逻辑,既然支票无价值,那么接受支票付款应当“存在风险性”,上下两句间暗含着因果的逻辑关系;空格处填入的名词做runs的宾语,runs a certain 2 即应表示店员“冒险”的含义;选项中,只有risk可以与run搭配,run the risk of doing sth/run risks表示“冒……的危险,冒险做某事”,符合文意;其他项或不符合文中搭配,或不符合文意,应排除;篇章分析③句是过渡句,由上文泛泛而谈支票支付的问题具体到在商店购物时使用支票的情况,并引出下文两段关于此的一次具体经历的讲述;空格设置本题考查了risk的固定动宾搭配;例句：Investment is all about running risks.投资就是要冒风险;We don’t want to run the risk of losing their business.我们不想冒险失去他们的生意;其他包含risk的表示“冒险”的搭配还有at the risk of doing sth冒着……的风险,at risk to sb/sth冒伤及……的危险,take a risk/take risksto do sth冒险做某事;干扰项设置其他项都是常用名词;其中,danger构成对risk的近义干扰,chance与opportunity近义,构成对risk的反义干扰;danger常做不可数名词,如：in/out of danger处于危险中/脱离危险,当表示“危险,坏事发生的可能性”时可用作可数或不可数,后面必须接of sth或that同位语从句进行修饰,如：There is a dangerthat the political disorder of the past will return.昔日的政治动乱现在有可能重演;chance常表示希望发生的事的可能性,如：There is no chance that he will change his mind.他不可能改变主意;它还与opportunity近义,表示“时机”,如：You’ll have the chance/opportunity to ask any questions at the end.你们最后将有机会提问任何问题;注意chance也可指“风险,冒险”,常与take 搭配,如：When installing electrical equipment don’t take any chances. A mistake could kill.安装电器设备时千万不要冒险,弄错了有可能出人命;3. A within在某段时间、距离、范围或限度之内B beyond在或向……较远的一边；晚于；超出,多于,非所能及C without没有,缺乏；不和……在一起；不用,不拿,不带；不做某事D out of 出来,出去；远离；脱离,除去；从,用……制作；没有,缺少；由于本题考核的知识点是：上下文语义+介词用法;快速解题③句是由and连接的并列句,and表明分句间是承接关系,即分句内容一致：前一分句说明支票支付存在风险,后一分句即应说明拒绝支票的合理性；其次,根据下文内容,珠宝店的店员确实拒绝了主人公的支票并将事情通报经理,可见他的做法也是合理的;因此只有Awithin符合文意,它在文中指“拒绝支票在他店员的权力范围内”;篇章分析③句是由and连接的并列句,本题空格所在的后一分句的主语he即指第一个分句的主语a shop keeper,两个分句中分别含有由when和if引导的状语从句,从句中accepts与refuses反义复现;空格设置本题通过考查介词实则考查了对上下文语义的理解;文中用到within “在……范围内”的抽象含义,例句：The question is not within the scope ofthis talk.那个问题不在本次会谈范围之内;干扰项设置其他项都是常用的介词词组,其中beyond与out of构成对within的反义干扰,without构成对within的形近干扰;例句：The road continues beyond the village up into the hills.那条路经过村子后又往上延伸到群山中;It won’t go on beyond midnight.这事不会延续到午夜以后;She got nothing beyond her state pension.除了政府发的养老金外,她什么都没有;The bicycle was beyond repair.自行车已坏得无法修理;They had gone two days without food.他们已经两天没吃东西了;Don’t go without me.别甩下我就走;He left without saying goodbye.他不辞而别;The ship sank ten miles out of Stockholm.那条船沉没在距斯德哥尔摩十英里外海;Try and stay out of trouble.尽量别惹麻烦;He drank his beer out of the bottle.他从瓶口直接喝啤酒;We’re out of milk.我们没有牛奶了;I asked out of curiosity.我因为好奇问了问;4. A in difficulty在困难、困境中 B in doubt不肯定,不确定C in earnest严肃地,认真地,郑重其事D in question有疑问,不确定本题考核的知识点是：固定搭配;快速解题④句承接上文,说明人们并不总是知道这一点店员有权在某些情况下拒收支票而且如果他们的好信誉……他们会感到震惊;我们知道,支票是一种以信誉度为基础的支付手段,因此如果某人的信誉度有问题则他的支票就无法兑现上文③句a certain risk即指着这样的风险,而这样的支票肯定不会被商店接受;空格处填入一个介词短语,is called 4 表明的是信誉度有问题因而支票被拒的情况;call sth in/into question是固定短语,意为“怀疑,引起怀疑”,它代入文中,指“好信誉受到质疑”,符合文意,因此选D;篇章分析④句是二段首句,承接上文③句,一起过渡到下文对一次具体支付经历的讲述;⑤句总起下文有关的讲述;④句的谓语部分是由and连接的一个动宾do not always know this和一个系表结构are shocked震惊,惊愕,第一部分谓语中的宾语this指代上文③句内容,实现与上文的衔接;if…与⑤句中an extremely unpleasant experience呼应,引起下文的描述;空格设置本题考查了基本动词call的一个习语;例句：His honest has never been called into question.他的诚实从未受到过怀疑;注意in question也是一个固定短语,它可指“讨论或议论中的；有疑问,不确定”,如：On the day in question we were in Beijing.在所说的那一天,我们在北京;The future of public transport is not in question.公共交通的未来发展是不容置疑的;干扰项设置其他项都是常用的介词短语,其中in doubt构成对in question的近义干扰,但它并不与call搭配;例句：The bank is in difficulty.这家银行处境困难;The success of the system is not in doubt.这种制度成功确定无疑;The work on the house will begin in earnest on Monday.这栋房子的修建工作将在星期一正式开始;You may laugh but I’m in deadly earnest.你可以笑,不过我可是正经八百的;5. A amount金额；数量,数额B stock现货,存货；贮备物,供应物；股本,股份C number数字；数量,数额\D store商店；贮存物；stores某类商品,物品；仓库本题考核的知识点是：名词辨析;快速解题空格所在部分是which引导的定语从句,修饰jewelry shop,说明的是珠宝店的存货;选项中stock可具体表示“商店的现货,存货”,而其他三项用于 a large…of sth的结构中都指“大量的”,a store of还可指“一商店的……”,因此,只有stock准确地表达了文意,为最佳答案;空格设置本题考查了stock的特殊含义,以及考生根据语境选择最恰当词汇的能力;We don’t carry a large stock of pine furniture.松木家具我们备货不多;a country’s housing stock一个国家的住房保有量；build up a good stock of teaching materials积累大量教学资料;干扰项设置其他项都可用于文中a~ of的结构,且能使句意通顺;其中,store又构成对stock的近义干扰,如：her secret store of chocolate她私下存放的巧克力；a vast store of knowledge丰富的知识；medical/military stores医疗用品/军需品;an amount of后常接不可数名词,如：an amount of time/money/information一段时间/一笔钱/一些信息;a number of后接名词复数,如：a number of problems have arisen.已经出现了一些问题;6.

Otherwise we wouldn’t be here.我们是来全心全意投入这项工作的,否则我们就不会到这里来了;8. A Really事实上,真正地；确实,的确,表强调B Sure enough果真,果然C Certainly无疑,确定,肯定D However但是,表转折本题考核的知识点是：句间逻辑关系+副词辨析;快速解题空格在句首,以逗号与句子其他部分隔开,做整个句子的状语;上文说到警察很快就会来,本句则说警察不久就来了,句间是顺承关系,首先排除表示转折的however;其他三项都含有“真的,确定”的含义,但really表示指出事实或强调观点等,且不能修饰整个句子,在含义和语法上都不符合,应排除；certainly可修饰句子,但强调某事确定会发生,而文中“警察到了”是已经发生的事,它代入文中时间上相矛盾,应排除;只有sure enough表示不出所料,“果然……”,代入文中文意通畅,即经理说警察很快就来,而“果然警察不久就到了”,因此选B;空格设置此处sure enough表明了句间的逻辑关系,且它本身也不为考生所熟悉,是需要掌握一个难点;例句：I said he’d forget, and sure enough he did.我说他会忘记,他果然就忘了;类似的“副词+enough”构成的副词短语还有curiously/oddly/strangely enough 奇怪的是,right enough当然,不可否认;干扰项设置干扰项中however也是常用逻辑词,而really与certainly构成sure enough的近义干扰;例句：Tell me what really happened.告诉我究竟发生了什么事;He really likes you.他的确喜欢你;Certainly, the early learning years are crucial to a child’s educational development.毫无疑问,开头几年的启蒙教育对儿童的发展至关重要;9.

2006 Text 1Paragraph 11、In spite of “endless talk of difference,” American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is “the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of deference” characteristic of popular culture. 不管我们如何喋喋不休地谈论差别，美国社会实际上是一台同化人们的神奇的机器。

1987考研英语阅读理解
1987年全国硕士生入学统一考试英语试题Text 1There are a great many careers in which the increasing emphasis is on specialization. You find these careers in engineering, in production, in statistical work, and in teaching. But there is an increasing demand for people who are able to take in great area at a glance, people who perhaps do not know too much about any one field. There is, in other words, a demand for people who are capable of seeing the forest rather than the trees, of making general judgments. We can call these people “generalists.”And these “generalists”are particularly needed for positions in administration, where it is their job to see that other people do the work, where they have to plan for other people, to organize other people’s work, to begin it and judge it.The specialist understands one field; his concern is with technique and tools. He is a “trained”man; and his educational background is properly technical or professional. The generalist -- and especially the administrator -- deals with people; his concern is with leadership, with planning, and with direction giving. He is an “educated”man; and the humanities are his strongest foundation. Very rarely is a specialist capable of being an administrator. And very rarely is a good generalist also a good specialist in particular field. Any organization needs both kinds of people, though different organizations need them in different proportions. It is your task to find out, during your training period, into which of the two kinds of jobs you fit, and to plan your career accordingly.Your first job may turn out to be the right job for you -- but this is pure accident. Certainly you should not change jobs constantly or people will become suspicious of your ability to hold any job. At the same time you must not look upon the first job as the final job; it is primarily a training job, an opportunity to understand yourself and your fitness for being an employee.26. There is an increasing demand for ________.[A] all round people in their own fields[B] people whose job is to organize other people’s work[C] generalists whose educational background is either technical or professional[D] specialists whose chief concern is to provide administrative guidance to others27. The specialist is ________.[A] a man whose job is to train other people[B] a man who has been trained in more than one fields[C] a man who can see the forest rather than the trees[D] a man whose concern is mainly with technical or professional matters28. The administrator is ________.[A] a “trained”man who is more a specialist than a generalist[B] a man who sees the trees as well as the forest[C] a man who is very strong in the humanities[D] a man who is an “educated”specialist29. During your training period, it is important ________.[A] to try to be a generalist[B] to choose a profitable job[C] to find an organization which fits you[D] to decide whether you are fit to be a specialist or a generalist30. A man’s first job ________.[A] is never the right job for him[B] should not be regarded as his final job[C] should not be changed or people will become suspicious of his ability to hold any job[D] is primarily an opportunity to fit himself for his final jobText 2At the bottom of the world lies a mighty continent still wrapped in the Ice Age and, until recent times, unknown to man. It is a great land mass with mountain ranges whose extent and elevation are still uncertain. Much of the continent is a complete blank on our maps. Man has explored, on foot, less than one per cent of its area. Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean, covered with drifting packed ice and hemmed in by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent almost as large as Europe and Australia combined, centered roughly on the South Pole and surrounded by the most unobstructed water areas of the world -- the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.The continental ice sheet is more than two miles high in its centre, thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions. This cold air current from the land is so forceful that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders unlivable those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the globe are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that includes most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandinavia -- a region rich in forest and mining industries. Apart from a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry, or settlement.31. The best title for this selection would be ________.[A] Iceland [B] Land of Opportunity[C] The Unknown Continent [D] Utopia at Last32. At the time this article was written, our knowledge of Antarctica was ________.[A] very limited [B] vast[C] fairly rich [D] nonexistent33. Antarctica is bordered by the ________.[A] Pacific Ocean [B] Indian Ocean[C] Atlantic Ocean [D] All three34. The Antarctic is made uninhabitable primarily by ________.[A] cold air [B] calm seas[C] ice [D] lack of knowledge about the continent35. According to this article ________.[A] 2,000 people live on the Antarctic Continent[B] a million people live within 2,000 miles of the South Pole[C] weather conditions within a 2,000 mile radius of the South Pole make settlements impractical[D] only a handful of natives inhabit Antarctica[C] details such as the time were not recorded in the past[D] they are much worse20. Nowadays, the athletes’expenses are paid for ________.[A] out of the prize money of the winners[B] out of the funds raised by the competing nations[C] by the athletes themselves[D] by contributionsText 3In science the meaning of the word “explain”suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality. Science cannot really explain electricity, magnetism, and gravitation; their effects can be measured and predicted, but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of amber, a hard yellowish-brown gum. Most contemporary physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “really”are. “Electricity,”Bertrand Russell says, “is not a thing, like St. Paul’s Cathedral; it is a way in which things behave. When we have told how things behave when they are electrified, and under what circumstances they are electrified, we have told all there is to tell.”Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea. Aristotle, for example, whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousand years, believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning from self-evident principles. He felt, for example, that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place, hence one can deduce that objects fall to the ground because that’s where they belong, and smoke goes up because that’s where it belongs. The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen. Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.21. The aim of controlled scientific experiments is ________.[A] to explain why things happen[B] to explain how things happen[C] to describe self-evident principles[D] to support Aristotelian science22. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thousand years?[A] the speculations of Thales[B] the forces of electricity, magnetism, and gravity[C] Aristotle’s natural science[D] Galileo’s discoveries23. Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is ________.[A] disapproved of by most modern scientists[B] in agreement with Aristotle’s theory of self-evident principles[C] in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “how”things happen[D] in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “why”things happen24. The passage says that until recently scientists disagreed with the idea ________.[A] that there are mysterious forces in the universe[B] that man cannot discover what forces “really”are[C] that there are self-evident principles[D] that we can discover why things behave as they do25. Modern science came into being ________.[A] when the method of controlled experiment was fir st introduced[B] when Galileo succeeded in explaining how things happen[C] when Aristotelian scientist tried to explain why things happen[D] when scientists were able to acquire an understanding of reality of reasoning。

熟练掌握解题技巧，把有限的精力放在问题的解答上做到事半功倍的效果，下面是店铺整理的考研英语的阅读理解真题以及译文和答案解析，一起来练习一下吧!“I've never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from the cramped confines of his lab at Texas A&M University. “It's a stupid endeavor.” That's an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two calves and expect to clone a cat soon. They just might succeed in cloning Missy later this year—or perhaps not for another five years. It seems the reproductive system of man's best friend is one of the mysteries of modern science.Westhusin's experience with cloning animals leaves him vexed by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missyplicity project, using hundreds upon hundreds of canine eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy's DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted fetuses may be acceptable when you're dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin's phone at A&M College of Veterinary Medicine has been ringing busily. Cost is no obstacle for customers like Missy'smysterious owner, who wishes to remain unknown to protect his privacy. He's plopped down $3.7 million so far to fund the research because he wants a twin to carry on Missy?s fine qualities after she dies. But he knows her clone may not have her temperament. In a statement of purpose, Missy's owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clone differs from Missy.”The fate of the dog samples will depend on Westhusin's work. He knows that even if he gets a dog viably pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems. “Why would you ev er want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we?re not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?” [397 words]6.

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