You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness. Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper more abiding emotion. Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends. I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fan. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties , fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells " happiness". But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness. Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he"s honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in tact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out ever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night"s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don"t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time; now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.(分数:10.00)(1).Which of the following is true?(分数:2.00)A.Fun creates long-lasting satisfactionB.Fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness.C.Happiness is enduring whereas fun is short-lived.D.Fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness.(2).To the author, Hollywood stars all have an important role to play that is to______.(分数:2.00)A.write memoir after memoir about their happinessB.tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with funC.teach people how to enjoy their livesD.bring happiness to the public instead of going to glamorous parties(3).In the author"s opinion, marriage______.(分数:2.00)A.affords greater funB.leads to raising childrenC.indicates commitmentD.ends in pain(4).Couples having infant children______.(分数:2.00)A.are lucky since they can have a whole night"s sleepB.find fun in tucking them into bed at nightC.find more time to play and joke with themD.derive happiness from their endeavor(5).If one gets the meaning of the true sense of happiness, he will______.(分数:2.00)A.stop playing games and joking with othersB.make the best use of his time increasing happinessC.give a free hand to moneyD.keep himself with his familyFilm has properties that set it apart from painting, sculpture, novels, and plays. It is also, in its most popular and powerful form, a story telling medium that shares many elements with the short story and the novel. And since film presents its stories in dramatic form, it has even more in common with the stage play; Both plays and movies act out or dramatize, show rather than tell, what happens. Unlike the novel, short story, or play, however, film is not handy to study; it cannot be effectively frozen on the printed page. The novel and short story are relatively easy to study because they are written to be read. The stage play is slightly more difficult to study because it is written to be performed. But plays are printed, and because they rely heavily on the spoken word, imaginative readers can conjure up at least a pale imitation of the experience they might have been watching a performance on stage. This cannot be said of the screenplay, for a film depends greatly on visual and other nonvisual elements that are not easily expressed in writing. The screenplay requires so much "filling in" by our imagination that we cannot really approximate the experience of a film by reading a screenplay, and reading a screenplay is worthwhile only if we have already seen the film. Thus, most screenplays are published not to read but rather to be remembered. Still, film should not be ignored because studying it requires extra effort. And the fact that we do not generally "read" films does not mean we should ignore the principles of literary or dramatic analysis when we see a film. Literature and films do share many elements and communicate many things in similar ways. Perceptive film analysis rests on the principles used in literary analysis, and if we apply what we have learned in the study of literature to our analysis of films, we will be far ahead of those who do not. Therefore, before we turn to the unique elements of film, we need to look into the elements that film shares with any good story. Dividing film into its various elements for analysis is a somewhat artificial process, for the elements of any art form never exist in isolation. It is impossible, for example, to isolate plot from character; Events influence people, and people influence events; the two are always closely interwoven in any fictional, dramatic, or cinematic work. Nevertheless, the analytical method uses such a fragmenting technique for ease and convenience. But it does so with the assumption that we can study these elements in isolation without losing sight of their interdependence or their relationship to the whole.(分数:10.00)(1).What is mainly discussed in the text?(分数:2.00)A.The uniqueness of film.B.The importance of film analysis.C.How to identify the techniques a film uses.D.The relationship between film analysis and literary analysis.(2).Why is it not handy to study film?(分数:2.00)A.Because screenplay is not as well written as literary works.B.Because a film cannot be effectively represented by a printed screenplayC.Because a film is too complicated.D.Because publishers prefer to publish literary works.(3).From the third paragraph we learn that______.(分数:2.00)A.the means by which we analyze a literary work cannot be applied to film analysisB.a good film and a good story have many elements in commonC.we should not pay extra effort to study filmsing the principles of literary analysis makes no difference in film analysis(4).Why can"t we divide film into various elements for analysis?(分数:2.00)A.Because these elements are interwoven with each other and cannot be separated without failing to appreciate a film as a whole.B.Because films cannot be written down and it is inconvenient to analyze themC.Because films elements are too complicated.D.Because films need not to be analyzed in detail.(5).What does the word "it" refers to in the last sentence of the passage?(分数:2.00)A.The analytical method.B.The fragmenting technique.C.Ease.D.Convenience.Modern technology and science have produced a wealth of new materials and new ways of using old materials. For the artist this means wider opportunities. There is no doubt that the limitations of materials and nature of tools both restrict and shape a man"s work. Observe how the development of plastics and light metals along with new methods of welding has changed the direction of sculpture. Transparent plastic materials allow one to look through an object, to see its various sides superimposed on each other (as in Cubism or in an X-ray). Today, welding is as prevalent as casting was in the past. This new method encourages open designs, where surrounding and intervening space becomes as important as form itself. More ambiguous than other scientific inventions familiar to modern artists, but no less influential , are the psychoanalytic studies of Freud and his followers, discoveries that have infiltrated recent art, especially Surrealism. The Surrealists, in their struggle to escape the monotony and frustrations of everyday life, claimed that dreams were the only hope. Turning to the irrational world of their unconscious, they banished all time barriers and moral judgements to combine disconnected dream experiences from the past, present and intervening psychological states. The Surrealists were concerned with overlapping emotions more than with overlapping forms. Their paintings often become segmented capsules of associative experiences. For them, obsessive and often unrelated images replaced the direct emotional message of expressionism. They did not need to smash paint and canvas; they went beyond this to smash the whole continuity of logical thought. There is little doubt that contemporary art has taken much from contemporary life. In a period when science has made revolutionary strides, artists in their studios have not been unaware of scientists in their laboratories. But this has rarely been a one-way street. Painters and sculptors, through admittedly influenced by modern science, have also molded and changed our world. If break-up has been a vital part of their expression, it has not always been a symbol of destruction. Quite thecontrary : it has been used to examine more fully, to penetrate more deeply, to analyze more thoroughly , to enlarge, isolate and make more familiar certain aspects of lire that earlier we were apt to neglect. In addition, it sometimes provides rich multiple experiences so organized as not merely to reflect our world, but in fact to interpret it.(分数:10.00)(1).According to the passage, it is true that______.(分数:2.00)A.artistic creations seem to be the reproductions of modern technologyB.artistic creations have made great strides scientificallyC.artistic creations appear to be incapable of ignoring material advancesD.artistic creations are the reflection of the material world(2).The welding techniques______.(分数:2.00)A.can cause a lot of changes in sculpture artsB.permit details of an object to be seen clearlyC.can superimpose multiple sides of sculptor"s designsD.can make artists adaptable to surroundings(3).We can learn from the text mat Freud"s studies______.(分数:2.00)A.are more ambiguous than any other scientific inventionB.have influenced other scientific inventionsC.cause SurrealismD.have infiltrated Surrealism(4).Which of the following is tree about Surrealists?(分数:2.00)A.They diminished all time barriers and moral judgements to combine disconnected dream experiences.B.They tried to express their subconscious world.C.They could transform real existence into incoherent dreams.D.They wanted to substitute direct expressions for fragmented images.(5).The sentence " But this has rarely been a one-way street. " in the last paragraph means that______.(分数:2.00)A.contemporary art has been nourished by modern scienceB.modern science has been nourished by artC.artists can become scientists and scientists can become artistsD.the impacts of modern art and science are actually mutualWhen we eat may be just as important as what we eat. A new study shows that mice that eat when they should be sleeping gain more weight than mice that eat at normal hours. Another study sheds light on why we pack on the pounds in the first place. Whether these studies translate into therapies that help humans beat obesity remains to be seen, but they give scientists clues about the myriad factors that they must take into account. Observations of overnight workers have shown that eating at night disrupts metabolism and the hormones that signal we"re sated. But no one had done controlled studies on this connection until now. Biologist Fred Turek of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and graduate student Deanna Arble examined the link between a high-fat diet and what time of day mice eat. A control group of six nocturnal mice ate their pellets (60% fat by calories, mostly lard) during the night. Another group of six ate the same meal during the day, Turek says, which disrupts their circadian rhythm—the body"s normal 24-hour cycle. After 6 weeks, the off-schedule mice weighed almost 20% more than the controls, Turek and Arble report today in Obesity, supporting the idea that consuming calories when you should be sleeping is harmful. Turek and Arble acknowledge that the disrupted mice ate a tad more and were a tad more sluggish, but the differences could not account for all of the weight gain. In the second study, a different team of researchers investigated the link between weight and the immune system. Hundreds of genes seem to affect the accumulation of fat, but one that helps protect us from infection might help us lose weight with little effort, biochemist Alan Saltiel of theUniversity of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and colleagues suggest today in Cell. The researchers tested me weight-adding abilities of a protein called IKK ∈ , which is linked with obesity, diabetes, and chronic, low-level inflammation. For 3 months, the team fed six mice missing IKK ∈ genes a diet of high-fat chow. Because IKKE"s main job is immune defense, Saltiel"s team didn"t expect to find weight differences between knockout mice and controls. But the knockout mice did gain significantly less. Best of all, the girth the animals did add was less harmful to their overall health. "The knockout mice don"t gain as much weight but also don"t get diabetes, don"t get insulin resistance, and don"t get accumulation of lipids on the liver," Saltiel says, all of which contribute to the suite of health problems associated with being overweight. Saltiel calls IKK e " an especially appealing drug target for the treatment of metabolic disease. " Tom Maniatis, a molecular biologist at Harvard University praises the study but remains skeptical about any drug that would inhibit IKK ∈ . He helped develop the mice used in the experiment and notes that they are vulnerable to the flu. He suspects that suppressing IKK ∈ may help people with diabetes or obesity, "but the first time the swine flu comes along, that"s it. Researchers are also enthusiastic about the circadian rhythm paper Frank Scheet, a neuroscientist at Harvard who studies sleep, was struck that " you could see something happening [ to the disrupted mice] in the first week already. That"s consistent with human studies where we found changes in just 3 days. " Together, the papers suggest that there"s no simple answer to why people gain weight. Says Turek, "It"s clearly not just calories in versus calories out. "(分数:10.00)(1).What does the word "nocturnal" mean in the second paragraph?(分数:2.00)A.Hungry.B.NightlyC.HealthyD.Greedy(2).Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to Fred Turek"s research?(分数:2.00)A.The nocturnal mice and the off-schedule mice ate different pellets.B.The off-schedule mice ate significantly more and are more lively.C.If the nocturnal mice consume calories during the day, it should be very harmful.D.After 6 weeks, the group of mice ate at night gained more weight.(3).Which of the following statements about IKK ∈ is INCORRECT?(分数:2.00)A.The basic job of IKK ∈ is to protect the body from diseases.B.IKK ∈ is a kind of protein.C.IKK ∈ is linked with many immune diseases.D.The mice missing IKK ∈ genes gain much more weight.(4).According to the passage, what"s Tom Maniatis"s attitude towards the second study?(分数:2.00)A.Doubting.B.Supportive.C.Negative.D.Neutral.(5).Which of the following is the best title for this passage?(分数:2.00)A.IKK ∈ ; an appealing drug target for losing weight.B.Teach you how to lose weight.C.New researches about losing weight.D.Calories in versus calories out.Few modern travel writers excite more hostility and awe than Sir Wilfred Thesiger, who died in 2003. Despising the " drab uniformity of the modem world" , Sir Wilfred slogged across Africa and Asia, especially Arabia, on animals and on foot, immersing himself in tribal societies. Hedelighted in killing lions in Sudan in the years before the Second World War, Germans and Italians during it. He disliked "soft" living and "intrusive" women and revered murderous say ages, to whom he gave guns. He thought educating the working classes a waste of good servants. He kicked his dog. His journeys were more notable as feats of masochistic endurance than as exploration. Yet his first two books, Arabian Sands, about his crossing of the Empty Quarter, and The Marsh Arabs, about southern Iraq, have a terse brilliance about them. As records of ancient cultures on the point of oblivion, they are unrivalled. Sir Wilfred"s critics invariably sing the same chorus. They accuse him of hypocrisy, noting that his part-time primitive lifestyle required a private income and good connections to obtain travel permits.They argue that he deluded himself about the motives of his adored tribal companions. In Kenya, where he lived for two decades towards the end of his life, his Samburu "sons" are calculated to have fleeced him of at least one million dollars. Homosexuality, latent or otherwise, explains him, they conclude, pointing to the photographs he took of beautiful youths. This may all be true, but it does not diminish his achievements. Moreover he admits as much himself in his autobiography and elsewhere. In 1938, before his main travels, for example, Sir Wilfred wrote of his efforts to adopt foreign ways: "I don"t delude myself that I succeed but I get my interest and pleasure trying. " In this authorized biography, Alexander Maitland adds a little color to the picture, but no important details. He describes the beatings and sexual abuse the explorer suffered at his first boarding school. Quoting from Sir Wilfred"s letters, he traces the craggy traveler"s devotion to his dead father, his mother and three brothers. At times, Sir Wilfred sounds more forgiving, especially of friends, and more playful than his reputation has suggested. As for his sexuality, Mr. Maitland refers coyly to occasional "furtive embraces" , presumably with men. Wearisome as this topic has become, Mr. Maitland achieves nothing by skirting it; and his allusion to Sir Wilfred"s "almost too precious" relationship with his mother is annoyingly vague. There may be a reason why Mr. Maitland struggles for critical distance. He writes that he and Sir Wilfred were long-standing friends, but he fails to mention that he collaborated with the explorer on four of his books and later inherited his London flat. If Mr. Maitland found it so difficult to view his late friend and benefactor objectively, then perhaps he should not have tried. An earlier biography by Miehael Asher, who scoured the deserts to track down Sir Wilfred"s former fellow travelers, was better; Mr. Maitland seems to have interviewed almost nobody black or brown. His book is, however, a useful companion to the explorer"s autobiography, The Life of My Choice. Hopefully, it will also refer readers back to Sir Wilfred"s two great books, and to sentences as lovely as this; " Memories of that first visit to the Marshes have never left me: firelight on a half-turned face, the crying of geese, duck fighting in to feed, a boy"s voice singing somewhere in the dark, canoes moving in procession down a waterway, the setting sun seen crimson through the smoke of burning reed-beds, narrow waterways that wound still deeper into the Marshes.

Please read the passages and then write your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.TEXT AI live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a glamorous, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so, you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more abiding emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to glamorous parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness". But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and profound loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he’s honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out ever they want and sleep as late as they want. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three-day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and glamorous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.31. Which of the following is true?A. Fun creates long-lasting satisfaction.B. Fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness.C. Happiness is enduring whereas fun is short-lived.D. Fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness.32. To the author, Hollywood stars all have an important role to play that is to ________ .A. write memoir after memoir about their happinessB. tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with funC. teach people how to enjoy their livesD. bring happiness to the public instead of going to glamorous parties.33. In the author’s opinion, marriage ________ .A. affords greater fun.B. leads to raising children.C. indicates commitment.D. ends in pain.34. Couples having infant children ________ .A. are lucky since they can have a whole night’s sleep.B. find fun in tucking them into bed at night,C. find more time to play and joke with them.D. derive happiness from their endeavor.35. If one gets the meaning of the tree sense of happiness, he will ________ .A. stop playing games and joking with othersB. make the best use of his time increasing happinessC. give a free hand to moneyD. keep himself with his familyTEXT BFilm has properties that set it apart from painting, sculpture, novels, and plays. It is also, in its most popular and powerful form, a story telling medium that shares many elements with the short story and the novel. And since film presents its stories in dramatic form, it has even more in common with the stage play: Both plays and movies act out or dramatize, show rather than tell, what happens.Unlike the novel, short story, or play, however, film is not handy to study; it cannot be effectively frozen on the printed page. The novel and short story are relatively easy to study because they are written to be read. The stage play is slightly more difficult to study because it is written to be performed. But plays are printed, and because they rely heavily on the spoken word, imaginative readers can conjure up at least a pale imitation of the experience they might have been watching a performance on stage. This cannot be said of the screenplay, for a film depends greatly on visual and other nonvisual elements that are not easily expressed in writing. The screenplay requires so much "filling in" by our imagination that we cannot really approximate the experience of a film by reading a screenplay, and reading a screenplay is worthwhile only if we have already seen the film. Thus, most screenplays are published not to read but rather to be remembered.Still, film should not be ignored because studying it requires extra effort. And the fact that we do not generally "read" films does not mean we should ignore the principles of literary or dramatic analysis when we see a film. Literature and films do share many elements and communicate many things insimilar ways. Perceptive film analysis rests on the principles used in literary analysis, and if we apply what we have learned in the study of literature to our analysis of films, we will be far ahead of those who do not. Therefore, before we turn to the unique elements of film, we need to look into the elements that film shares with any good story.Dividing film into its various elements for analysis is a somewhat artificial process, for the elements of any art form never exist in isolation. It is impossible, for example, to isolate plot from character: Events influence people, and people influence events; the two are always closely interwoven in any fictional, dramatic, or cinematic work. Nevertheless, the analytical method usessuch a fragmenting technique for ease and convenience. But it does so with the assumption that we can study these elements in isolation without losing sight of their interdependence or their relationship to the whole.36. What is mainly discussed in the text?A. The uniqueness of film.B. The importance of film analysis.C. How to identify the techniques a film uses.D. The relationship between film analysis and literary analysis.37. Why is it not handy to study film?A. Because screenplay is not as well written as literary works.B. Because a film cannot be effectively represented by a printed screenplay.C. Because a film is too complicated.D. Because publishers prefer to publish literary works.38. From the third paragraph we learn that ________ .A. the means by which we analyze a literary work cannot be applied to film analysisB. a good film and a good story have many elements in commonC. we should not pay extra effort to study filmsD. using the principles of literary analysis makes no difference in film analysis39. Why can’t we divide film into various elements for analysis?A. Because these elements are interwoven with each other and cannot be separated without failing to appreciate a film as a whole.B. Because films cannot be written down and it is inconvenient to analyse them.C. Because films elements are too complicated.D. Because films need not to be analysed in detail.40. What does the word "it" refer to in the last sentence of the passage?A. The analytical method.B. The fragmenting technique.C. Ease.D. Convenience.TEXT CModern technology and science have produced a wealth of new materials and new ways of using old materials. For the artist this means wider opportunities. There is no doubt that the limitations of materials and nature of tools both restrict and shape a man’s work. Observe how the development of plastics and light metals along with new methods of welding has changed the direction of sculpture. Transparent plastic materials allow one to look through an object, to see its various sides superimposed on each other (as in Cubism or in an X-ray). Today, welding is as prevalent as casting was in the past. This new method encourages open designs, where surrounding and intervening space becomes as important as form itself.More ambiguous than other scientific inventions familiar to modem artists, but no less influential, are the psychoanalytic studies of Freud and his followers, discoveries that have infiltrated recent art, especially Surrealism. The Surrealists, in their struggle to escape the monotony and frustrations of everyday life, claimed that dreams were the only hope. Turning to the irrational world of their unconscious, they banished all time barriers and moral judgements to combine disconnected dream experiences from the past, present and intervening psychologicalstates. The Surrealists were concerned with overlapping emotions more than with overlapping forms. Their paintings often become segmented capsules of associative experiences. For them, obsessive and often unrelated images replaced the direct emotional message of expressionism. They did not need to smash paint and canvas; they went beyond this to smash the whole continuity of logical thought.There is little doubt that contemporary art has taken much from contemporary life. In a period when science has made revolutionary strides, artists in their studios have not been unaware of scientists in their laboratories. But this has rarely been a one-way street. Painters and sculptors, though admittedly influenced by modem science, have also molded and changed our world. If break-up has been a vital part of their expression, it has not always been a symbol of destruction. Quite the contrary: it has been used to examine more fully, to penetrate more deeply, to analyze more thoroughly, to enlarge, isolate and make more familiar certain aspects of life that earlier we were apt to neglect. In addition, it sometimes provides rich multiple experiences so organized as not merely to reflect our world, but in fact to interpret it.41. According to the passage, it is true that ________ .A. artistic creations seem to be the reproductions of modern technologyB. artistic creations have made great strides scientificallyC. artistic creations appear to be incapable of ignoring material advancesD. artistic creations are the reflection of the material world42. The welding techniques ________ .A. can cause a lot of changes in sculpture artsB. permit details of an object to be seen clearlyC. can superimpose multiple sides of sculptor’s designsD. can make artists adaptable to surroundings43. We can learn from the text that Freud’s studies ________ .A. are more ambiguous than any other scientific inventionB. have influenced other scientific inventionsC. cause SurrealismD. have infiltrated Surrealism44. Which of the following is true about Surrealists?A. They diminished all time barriers and moral judgements to combine disconnected dream experiences.B. They tried to express their subconscious world.C. They could transform real existence into incoherent dreams.D. They wanted to substitute direct expressions for fragmented images.45. The sentence "But this has rarely been a one-way street." in the last paragraph means that ________ .A. contemporary art has been nourished by modem scienceB. modern science has been nourished by artC. artists can become scientists and scientists can become artistsD. the impacts of modern art and science are actually mutualTEXT DWhen we eat may be just as important as what we eat. A new study shows that mice that eat when they should be sleeping gain more weight than mice that eat at normal hours. Another studysheds light on why we pack on the pounds in the first place. Whether these studies translate into therapies that help humans beat obesity remains to be seen, but they give scientists clues about the myriad factors that they must take into. account.Observations of overnight workers have shown that eating at night disrupts metabolism and the hormones that signal we’re sated. But no one had done controlled studies on this connection until now. Biologist Fred Turek of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and graduate student Deanna Arble examined the link between a high-fat diet and what time of day mice eat. A control group of six nocturnal mice, ate their pellets (60% fat by calories, mostly lard) during the night. Another group of six ate the same meal during the day, Turek says, which disrupts their circadian rhythm—the body’s normal 24-hour cycle.After 6 weeks, the off-schedule mice weighed almost 20% more than the controls, Turek and Arble report today in Obesity, supporting the idea that consuming calories when you should be sleeping is harmful. Turek and Arble acknowledge that the disrupted mice ate a tad more and were a tad more sluggish, but the differences could not account for all of the weight gain.In the second study, a different team of researchers investigated the link between weight and the immune system. Hundreds of genes seem to affect the accumulation of fat, but one that helps protect us from infection might help us lose weight with little effort, biochemist Alan Saltiel of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and colleagues suggest today in Cell. The researchers tested the weight-adding abilities of a protein called IKKe, which is linked with obesity, diabetes, and chronic, low-level inflammation. For 3 months, the team fed six mice missing IKKe genes a diet of high-fat chow.Because IKKe’s main job is immune defense, Saltiel’s team didn’t expect to find weight differences between knockout mice and controls. But the knockout mice did gain significantly less. Best of all, the girth the animals did add was less harmful to their overall health. "The knockout mice don’t gain as much weight but also don’t get diabetes, don’t get insulin resistance, and don’t get accumulation of lipids on the liver," Saltiel says, all of which contribute to the suite of health problems associated with being overweight. Saltiel calls IKKe "an especially appealing drug target for the treatment of metabolic disease."Tom Maniatis, a molecular biologist at Harvard University, praises the study but remains skeptical about any drug that would inhibit IKKe. He helped develop the mice used in the experiment and notes that they are vulnerable to the flu. He suspects that suppressing IKKe may help people with diabetes or obesity, "but the first time the sw ine flu comes along, that’s it."Researchers are also enthusiastic about the circadian rhythm paper. Frank Scheer, a neuroscientist at Harvard who studies sleep, was struck that "you could see something happening [to the disrupted mice] in the first week already. That’s consistent with human studies where we found changes in just 3 days."Together, the papers suggest that there’s no simple answer to why people gain weight. Says Turek," It’s clearly not just calories in versus calories out."46. What .does the word "nocturnal" mean in the second paragraph?A. Hungry.B. Nightly.C. Healthy.D. Greedy.47. Which of the following statements is CORRECT according to Fred Turek’s research?A. The nocturnal mice and the off-schedule mice ate different pellets.B. The off-schedule mice ate significantly more and are more lively.C, If the nocturnal mice consume calories during the day, it should be very harmful.D. After 6 weeks, the group of mice ate at night gained more weight.48. Which of the following statements about IKKe is INCORRECT?A. The basic job of IKKe is to protect the body from diseases.B. IKKe is a kind of protein.C. IKKe is linked with many immune diseases.D. The mice missing IKKe genes gain much more weight.49. According to the passage, what’s Tom Maniatis’s attitude towards the second study?A. Doubting.B. Supportive.C. Negative.D. Neutral.50. Which of the following is the best title for this passage?A. IKKe: an appealing drag target for losing weight.B. Teach you how to lose weight.C. New researches about losing weight.D. Calories in versus calories out.TEXT EFew modem travel writers excite more hostility and awe than Sir Wilfred Thesiger, who died in 2003. Despising the "drab uniformity of the modern world", Sir Wilfred slogged across Africa and Asia, especially Arabia, on animals and on foot, immersing himself in tribal societies. He delighted in killing lions in Sudan in the years before the Second World War, Germans and Italians during it. He disliked "soft" living and "intrusive" women and revered murderous savages, to whom he gave guns. He thought educating the working classes a waste of good servants. He kicked his dog. His journeys were more notable as feats of masochistic endurance than as exploration. Yet his first two books, Arabian Sands, about his crossing of the Empty Quarter, and The Marsh Arabs, about southern Iraq, have a terse brilliance about them. As records of ancient cultures on the point of oblivion, they are unrivalled.Sir Wilfred’s critics invariably sing the same chorus. They accuse him of hypocrisy, noting that his part-time primitive lifestyle required a private income and good connections to obtain travel permits. They argue that he deluded himself about the motives of his adored tribal companions. In Kenya, where he lived for two decades towards the end of his life, his Samburu "sons" are calculated to have fleeced him of at least one million dollars. Homosexuality, latent or otherwise, explains him, they conclude, pointing to the photographs he took of beautiful youths.This may all be true, but it does not diminish his achievements Moreover, he admits as much himself in his autobiography and elsewhere. In 1938, before his main travels, for example, Sir Wilfred wrote of his efforts to adopt foreign ways: "I don’t delude myself that I succeed but I get my interest and pleasure trying."In this authorised biography, Alexander Maitland adds a little colour to the picture, but no important details. He describes the beatings and sexual abuse the explorer suffered at his fast boarding school. Quoting from Sir Wilfred’s letters, he traces the craggy traveler’s devotion to his dead father, his mother and three brothers. At times, Sir Wilfred sounds more forgiving, especiallyof friends, and more playful than his reputation has suggested. As for his sexuality, Mr. Maitland refers coyly to occasional "furtive embraces", presumably with men. Wearisome as this topic has become, Mr. Maitland achieves nothing by ski rting it; and his allusion to Sir Wilfred’s "almost too precious" relationship with his mother is annoyingly vague.There may be a reason why Mr. Maitland struggles for critical distance. He writes that he and Sir Wilfred were long-standing friends, but he fails to mention that he collaborated with the explorer on four of his books and later inherited his London flat. If Mr. Maitland found it so difficult to view his late friend and benefactor objectively, then perhaps he should not have tried. An earlier biography by Michael Asher, who scoured the deserts to track down Sir Wilfred’s former fellow travelers, was better; Mr. Maitland seems to have interviewed almost nobody black or brown.His book is, however, a useful companion to the explorer’s autobiog raphy, The Life of My Choice. Hopefully, it will also refer readers back to Sir Wilfred’s two great books, and to sentences as lovely as this: "Memories of that first visit to the Marshes have never left me: firelight on a half-turned face, the crying of g eese, duck flighting in to feed, a boy’s voice singing somewhere in the dark, canoes moving in procession down a waterway, the setting sun seen crimson through the smoke of burning reed-beds, narrow waterways that wound still deeper into the Marshes."51. According to the first paragraph, what kind of life did Sir Wilfred Thesiger long for?52. Why did Sir Wilfred Thesiger’s behavior call forth some criticism?53. How does Sir Wilfred Thesiger respond to the critics?54. In Alexander Maitlan’s writi ng, what kind of person was Sir Wilfred Thesiger?55. Was Alexander Maitland one of the opponents against Sir Wilfred Thesiger?PART ⅢWRITING [60 MIN] (30 POINTS)Nobody is living alone and people are living in a team or teams, so team spirit is of great importance in the present society.

2012年厦门大学241英语(二外)考研真题及详解Part I Reading Comprehension (每小题2分,共40分)Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as “regular”coffer, and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity, and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called market modification. It means that marking managers look for new users and market sections. Did youknow, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally designed for the military?Market modification also means searching for increased usage among resent customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new market sections.Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.1. According to the passage, when people grow fond of one particular brand of a product, its sales will _____.A. decrease graduallyB. become unstableC. improve enormouslyD. remain at the same level2. The first paragraph tells us that a new product is _____.A. usually introduced to satisfy different tastesB. often more expensive than old onesC. often inferior to old ones at firstD. not easily accepted by the public3. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to _____.A. work out marketing policiesB. increase its popularityC. promote its productionD. speed up its life cycle4. The author mentions the example of “backpacks”(the last sentence, Paragraph2) to show the importance of _____.A. increasing usage among studentsB. exploring new market sectionsC. pleasing the young as well as the oldD. serving both military and civil needs5. In order to recover their share of the world market, US auto makers are _____.A. improving product qualityB. modernizing product styleC. re-positioning their product in the marketD. increasing product features【答案与解析】1. D 由文中第一段倒数第二句“After a while people became attached to one brandand sales leveled off (stage of maturity)”可知,经过一段时间之后,人们就会认同喜爱某个品牌,销售水平就会保持稳定。

2012年中山大学英语专业(基础英语)真题试卷(总分78, 做题时间90分钟)1. 阅读理解Without some appreciation of common large numbers, it"s impossible to react with the proper skepticism to terrifying reports that more than a million American kids are kidnapped each year, or with the proper sobriety to a warhead carrying a megaton of explosive power—the equivalent of a million tons(or two billion pounds)of TNT. And if you don"t have some feeling for probabilities, automobile accidents might seem a relatively minor problem of local travel, whereas being killed by terrorists might seem to be a major risk when going overseas. As often observed, however, the 45, 000 people killed annually on American roads are approximately equal in number to all Americans dead in the Vietnam War. On the other hand, the seventeen Americans killed by terrorists in 1985 were among the 28 million of us who traveled abroad that year—that"s one chance in 1. 6 million of becoming a victim. Compare that with these annual rates in the United States; one chance in 68, 000 of choking to death; one chance in 75 , 000 of dying in a bicycle crash; one chance in 20, 000 of drowning; and one chance in only 5, 300 of dying in a car crash. Confronted with these large numbers and with the correspondingly small probabilities associated with them, the innumerate will inevitably respond with the non sequitur, * "Yes, but what if you"re that one, " and then nod knowingly, as if they"ve demolished your argument with penetrating insight. This tendency to personalize is a characteristic of many who suffer from innumeracy. Equally typical is a tendency to equate the risk from some obscure and exotic malady with the chances of suffering from heart and circulatory disease, from which about 12, 000 Americans die each week. There"s a joke I like that"s marginally relevant. An old married couple in their nineties contact a divorce lawyer, who pleads with them to stay together. "Why get divorced now after seventy years of marriage?" The little old lady finally pipes up in a creaky voice: "We wanted to wait until the children were dead. " A feeling for what quantities or time spans are appropriate in various contexts is essential to getting the joke. Slipping between millions and billions or between billions and trillions should in this sense be equally funny, but it isn"t, because we too often lack an intuitive grasp for these numbers. A recent study by Drs. Kronlund and Phillips of the University of Washington showed that most doctors" assessments of the risks of various operations, procedures, and medications(even intheir own specialties)were way off the mark, often by several orders of magnitude. I once had a conversation with a doctor who, withinapproximately 20 minutes, stated that a certain procedure he was contemplating(a)had a one-chance-in-a-million risk associated with it;(b)was 99 percent safe; and(c)usually went quite well. Given the fact that so many doctors seem to believe that there must be at least eleven people in the waiting room if they"re to avoid being idle, I"m not surprised at this new evidence of their innumeracy. * A non sequitur is a statement that does not follow logically from previous statements.SSS_SINGLE_SEL1.Which of the following can be inferred to be the author"s view of the " reports that more than a million American kids are kidnapped each year"(Paragraph 1)?A They are typical examples of American journalism.B They are evidence of a terrible problem that must be addressed.C They are probably untrue.D They demonstrate an American obsession with statistics.该题您未回答:х该问题分值: 2答案:C解析:由题干定位至第一段第一句。

Reading (30%)Green Wave Washes Over Mainstream Shopping Research in Britain has shown that “green consumers” continue to flourish as a significant group among shoppers. This suggests that politicians who claim environmentalism is yesterday’s issue may be seriously misjudging the public mood.A report from Mintel, the market research organization, says that despite recession and financial pressures, more people than ever want to buy environmentally friendly products and a “green wave” has swept through consumerism, taking in people previously untouched by environmental concerns. The recently published report also predicts that the process will repeat itself with “ethical” concerns, involving issues such as fair trade with the Third World and the social record of businesses. Companies will have to be more honest and open in response to this mood.Mintel’s survey, based on nearly 1,000 consumers, found that the proportion who look for green products and are prepared to pay more for them has climbed from 53 percent in 1990 to around 60 percent in 1994. On average, they will pay 13 percent more for such products, although this percentage is higher among women, managerial and professional groups and those aged 35 to 44.Between 1990 and 1994 the proportion of consumers claiming to be unaware of or unconcerned about green issues fell from 18 to 10 percent but the number of green spender among older people and manual workers has risen substantially. Regions such as Scotland have also caught up with the south of England in their environmental concerns. According to Mintel, the image of green consumerism as associated in the past with the more eccentric members of society has virtually disappeared. The consumer research manager for Mintel, Angela Hughes, said it had become firmly established as a mainstream market. She explained that as far as the average person is concerned environmentalism has not “gone off the boil”. In fact, it has spread across a much wider range of consumer groups, ages and occupations.Mintel’s 1994 survey found that 13 percent of consumers are “very dark green”, nearly always buying environmentally friendly products, 28 percent are “dark green”, trying “as far as possible” to buy such products, and 21 percent are “pale green” tending to buy green products if they see them. Another 26 percent are “armchair greens”; they said they care about environmental issues but their concern does not affect their spending habits. Only 10 percent say they do not care about green issues.Four in ten people are “ethical spenders”, buying goods which do not, for example, involve dealings with oppressive regimes. This figure is the same as in 1990, although the number of “armchair ethicals” has risen from 28 to 35 percent and only 22 percent say they are, unconcerned now, against 30 percent in 1990. Hughes claims that in the twenty-first century, consumers will be encouraged to think more about the entire history of the products and services they buy, including the policies of the companies that provide them and that this will require a greater degree of honesty with consumers.Among green consumers, animal testing is the top issue—48 percent said they would be deterred from buying a product if it had been tested on animals—followed by concerns regarding irresponsible selling, the ozone layer, river and sea pollution, forest destruction, recycling and factor farming. However, concern for specific issues is lower than in 1990, suggesting that many consumers feel that Government and business have taken on the environmental agenda.Questions 1-6Do the following statements agree with the claims of the writer of the passage? In your answer booklet write YES, NO, or NOT GIVEN for each statement.1. The research findings report commercial rather than political trends.2. Being financially better off has made shoppers more sensitive to buying ‘green’.3. The majority of shoppers are prepared to pay more for the benefit of the environment according to the research findings.4. Consumers’ green shopping habits are influenced by Mintel’s findings.5. Mintel has limited their investigation to professional and managerial groups.6. Mintel undertakes market surveys on an annual basis.【答案与解析】1. YES(文章通篇没有多提政治,除了第一段“politicians claims environmentalism is yesterday’s issue”,本文更多的是从消费者的角度来讨论这一问题的。

中山大学中国语言文学系2012年语言学概论(代码612)真题及详解一、分析应用题(每题10分,共50分)1.下列是某一语言的一组词,其中[t]、[s]和[z]分别与[ch]、[sh]和[zh]互补分布(释义省略):[中山大学2012研]【黄廖版《现代汉语》2.7】请对以上出现的[t]、[s]、[z]和[ch]、[sh]、[zh]六个音素进行音位归纳:(1)描写[t,s,z]和[ch、sh、zh]的分布情况;(2)一个音位下有几个音位变体,应该以哪个音素作为音位的代表音素?为什么?(3)以公式表达音位、音位变体以及音位变体出现的条件。
答:(1)归纳音位[t、s、z]多出现在元音[o]、[a]、[u]、[e]之前,[z]还可以出现在[w]之前。
[ch、sh、zh]都是出现在元音[i]之前。
(2)音位变体中的代表音素①一个音位往往包含一些不同的音,这些音就是这个音位的音位变体。
每个音位下有多少个音位变体是和该音位在语音环境中的具体运用有关的。
②音位变体是音位的具体表现形式,音位则是从音位变体中概括归纳出来的。
音位与音位变体的关系是类别与成员的关系,也可以说是一般和个别的关系。
代表音素也是从具体的音位变体中概括出来的,标写它的时候,通常从各音位变体中选用典型变体的符号,同时还要找一个常见、好认、便于印刷的符号作代表,加上//,表示它是音位,不加//表示它是音位变体。
例如,北京话的音位/a/是一个音的类别,它至少包含[a]、[ɑ]两个成员,也就是/a /至少包含两个变体。
其符合音位归纳提取的原则,成为该音位的代表音素。
(3)以公式表达音位、音位变体以及音位变体出现的条件音位音位变体出现条件/t/[t]出现在[o]或[a]之前[ch]出现在[i]之前/s/[s]出现在[o]或[u]或[a]之前[sh]出现在[i]之前/z/[z]出现在[e]或[u]或[w]之前[zh]出现在[i]之前2.比较现代汉语“狗”与英语dog的词义(本义、引申义),分析词义的民族性。
