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。

这就是民主化的着装和言谈，并且还有种随意和缺乏尊重感，这些构成了通俗文化的特性。

2006 text 1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。

这就是民主化的着装和话语的统一以及十九世纪在高雅的氛围中陈列着琳琅满目的商品的百货商店所发起的随意消费及没有消费的活动。

他们不是为了迎合有知识的精英们而开设亲情商店，而是创建了“不分阶层和背景人人都可以进入”的大众商店。

这使得购物成为一种大众的、民主的行为。

大众传媒、广告和体育也是协助人们均质化的推动力。

尽管这种文化一点也不高雅，但也不是完全有害的，移民们很快就融入了这种共同文化。

Gregory Rodriguez为美国移民研讨会撰文指出，今天的移民既不是处于空前的水平，也不抵制同化。

在1998年，移民占全国人口的9.8%；在1900年为13.6%。

在1990年以前的十年之中，在每千位居民当中，有3.1位新来的移民；而在1890年以前的十年之中，每千位居民当中就有9.2位移民。

现在，让我们来看一下三个同化指标——语言、拥有产权住房和异族结婚情况。

1990年的人口普查透露：“来自十五个移民数量最多的国家的移民在到美国十年后英语说得…好‟或…很好‟。

”移民的子女几乎都说两种语言，且精通英语。

“到了第三代，在大多数移民家庭，他们的母语就消失了。

”因此，有人就把美国描述成了“语言的坟场”。

到了1965年，出生于国外的、在1970年以前到达美国的移民有75.6%购置了自己的住房，这个数字高出土生土长的美国人的拥有自己所有权住房的百分比——69.8%。

在国外出生的亚裔和西班牙裔移民“与美国本土白人和黑人相比，与异族通婚的比率要高。

”到了第三代，有三分之一的西班牙裔女性与非西班牙裔男性结婚，而有41%亚裔美国妇女与非亚裔男性结婚。

Rodriguez注意到，世界边远地区的儿童是诸如阿诺德·施瓦辛格和加斯·布鲁克斯等超级明星的星迷，而“一些美国人担心生活在美国的移民在某种程度上并不受美国的同化力量的影响。

2006年考研英语一阅读理解第一解析2006年考研英语一阅读理解第一解析主要是针对2006年考研英语一真题中的阅读理解部分进行的解析。

具体内容如下：文章标题：Ads everywhere原文及问题解析：1. The Internet is buzzing with talk of a "social network bubble". Such talk gets attention because memories of the dotcom crash are still fresh for many people. But are such fears justified?文章开篇点题并提出问题，探讨去年来的社交网络公司在纳斯达克市场成功上市且市值不断上升的现象是否正面临着泡沫衰退的风险。

2. One common opinion among market pundits is that the social network bubble is nowhere near bursting point, as it has not yet reached the flaky marketing stage at which the dotcoms famously blew themselves up at the beginning of the century. But there are reasons why history could repeat itself, and why we might see stock tumbles and personal losses on a grand scale.文中介绍了一种常见的观点，认为社交网络泡沫远未到破灭的临界点，但同时指出破灭的原因可能会重演，股票下跌和个人损失可能会大规模发生。

3. The first reason is that some of these networks are just fads.Friendster and MySpace were big once but they are both now shrinking. This risk is overblown: social networking has come and will stay. The chance of all of them going up in smoke is pretty slim – instead the money will switch around, with some lucky investors making massive returns.第一个原因是一些社交网络只是一时热门。

1.很多事情致使人们认为艺术家们怪诞诡异。然而最为怪异的有可能却是如下这个现象：艺术家惟一的工作就是探究情感，然而他们所选择的探究重点却是那些令人不快的情感。
2.情况也并非千篇一律。像绘画和音乐这些最早的艺术形式，是最适合表达快乐的形式。但是，在19世纪之后的某个时期，越来越钦的艺术家开始将快乐视为索然无味、矫揉造作或者更甚的是，无聊透顶的东西，正如我们从华兹化斯的“咏水仙”到波德莱尔的“恶之花”中感受的一样。
4.镇上的居民却不这么认为，当地的管理委员会也不会直接补贴皇家莎士比亚剧团。传统上，在新建配楼或鸡尾酒廊。希尔顿集团也下在那里大兴土木新建自己的旅店，而且必定用哈姆雷特汉堡酒吧、里尔洒廊、班柯宴会厅之类的名字装点门面，想必价格不菲。
5.不管怎么说，镇上的居民还是无法理解皇家莎士比亚剧团为何需要补贴。（剧院的上座率连续三年刷新记录。去年一年剧院的1，431个座位的上座率为94%，而且今年的情况会更好。）当然，补贴的原因是剧院的成本急剧上升，而戏票的价格却维持在低水平。
3.你可能认为艺术越来越怀疑快乐，因为现代社会目睹了太多的苦难。但这似乎并不表示先前的时代不存在无休无止的战争、灾难以及对无辜者的屠戮。事实上，原因可能正好相反：当代世界存在着过多的快乐。
4. 然而，几乎完全致力于描绘快乐的现代表达形式究竟为何物？广告。反快乐艺术几乎与大众传媒同步出现，而一种商业文化也随之兴起，在这种文化中，快乐不仅是一个远大理想，更是一种意识形态。

1.当史前人类到达地球上新的区域时，大型动物就发生了奇怪的事：它们突然就灭绝了。而更小的物种存活了下来。大型的、生长缓慢的动物是容易猎取的目标，它们很快就被捕杀殆尽。现在类似的事情也可能发生在海洋中。

2006考研英语真题英语一阅读部分

Text 1①In spite of“endless talk of difference,”American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. ②There is“the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of deference”characteristic of popular culture. ③People are absorbed into“a culture of consumption”launched by the 19th century department stores that offered“vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. ④Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite”these were stores“anyone could enter, regardless of class or background. ⑤This turned shopping into a public and democratic act.”⑥The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization.①Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. ②Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today's immigration is neither at unprecedented levels nor resistant to assimilation. ③In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of the population; in 1900, 13.6 percent. ④In the 10 years prior to 1990, 3.1 immigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1,000. ⑤Now, consider three indices of assimilation—language, home ownership and intermarriage.①The 1990 Census revealed that“a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries of origin spoke English‘well’or‘very well’after ten years of residence.”②The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. ③“By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families.”④Hence the description of America as a“graveyard”for languages. ⑤By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a home ownership rate of75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans.①Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics“have higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S.-born whites and blacks.”②By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians.①Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet“some Americans fear that immigrant living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation's assimilative power.”①Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? ②Indeed. ③It is big enough to have a bit of everything. ④But particularly when viewed against America's turbulent past, today's social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.21.The word“homogenizing”(Line 1, Paragraph 1) most probably means________.[A] identifying[B] associating[C] assimilating[D] monopolizing22.According to the author, the department stores of the 19th century_________.[A] played a role in the spread of popular culture[B] became intimate shops for common consumers[C] satisfied the needs of a knowledgeable elite[D] owed its emergence to the culture of consumption23.The text suggests that immigrants now in the U.S._________.[A] are resistant to homogenization[B] exert a great influence on American culture[C] are hardly a threat to the common culture[D] constitute the majority of the population24.Why are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks mentioned in Paragraph 5?[A] To prove their popularity around the world.[B] To reveal the public's fear of immigrants.[C] To give examples of successful immigrants.[D] To show the powerful influence of American culture.25.In the author's opinion, the absorption of immigrants into American society is_________.[A] rewarding[B] successful[C] fruitless[D] harmfulText 2①Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry—William Shakespeare—but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. ②There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. ③And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shakespeare's birthplace and the other sights.①The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. ②They frankly dislike the RSC's actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. ③It's all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making.①The tourist streams are not entirely separate. ②The sightseers who come by bus—and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side—don't usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. ③However, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their playgoing. ④It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town's revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. ⑤The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.①The townsfolk don't see it this way and the local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. ②Stratford cries poor traditionally. ③Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. ④Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive.①Anyway, the townsfolk can't understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy. ②(The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 percent occupied all year long and this year they'll do better.) ③The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.①It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford's most attractive clientele. ②They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. ③They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over)—lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.26.From the first two paragraphs, we learn that__________.[A] the townsfolk deny the RSC's contribution to the town's revenue[B] the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage[C] the two branches of the RSC are not on good terms[D] the townsfolk earn little from tourism27.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that__________.[A] the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separately[B] the playgoers spend more money than the sightseers[C] the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoers[D] the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater28.By saying“Stratford cries poor traditionally”(Line 2, Paragraph 4), the author implies that__________.[A] Stratford cannot afford the expansion projects[B] Stratford has long been in financial difficulties[C] the town is not really short of money[D] the townsfolk used to be poorly paid29.According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no subsidy because__________.[A] ticket prices can be raised to cover the spending[B] the company is financially ill-managed[C] the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptable[D] the theatre attendance is on the rise30.From the text we can conclude that the author__________.[A] is supportive of both sides[B] favors the townsfolk's view[C] takes a detached attitude[D] is sympathetic to the RSCText 3①When prehistoric man arrived in new parts of the world, something strange happened to the large animals: they suddenly became extinct. ②Smaller species survived. ③The large, slow-growing animals were easy game, and were quickly hunted to extinction. ④Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.①That the seas are being overfished has been known for years. ②What researchers such as Ransom Myers and Boris Worm have shown is just how fast things are changing. ③They have looked at half a century of data from fisheries around the world. ④Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass (the amount of living biological matter) of fish species in particular parts of the ocean, but rather changes in that biomass over time. ⑤According to their latest paper published in Nature, the biomass of large predators (animals that kill and eat other animals) in a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% within15 years of the start of exploitation. ⑥In some long-fished areas, it has halved again since then.①Dr. Worm acknowledges that these figures are conservative. ②One reason for this is that fishing technology has improved. ③Today's vessels can find their prey using satellites and sonar, which were not available 50 years ago. ④That means a higher proportion of what is in the sea is being caught, so the real difference between present and past is likely to be worse than the one recorded by changes in catch sizes. ⑤In the early days, too, longlines would have been more saturated with fish. ⑥Some individuals would therefore not have been caught, since no baited hooks would have been available to trap them, leading to an underestimate of fish stocks in the past. ⑦Furthermore, in the early days of longline fishing, a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked. ⑧That is no longer a problem, because there are fewer sharks around now.①Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm argue that their work gives a correct baseline, which future management efforts must take into account. ②They believe the data support an idea current among marine biologists, that of the“shifting baseline”. ③The notion is that people have failed to detect the massive changes which have happened in the ocean because they have been looking back only a relatively short time into the past. ④That matters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield that can be cropped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels. ⑤Most fisheries are well below that, which is a bad way to do business.31.The extinction of large prehistoric animals is noted to suggest that ____________.[A] large animal were vulnerable to the changing environment[B] small species survived as large animals disappeared[C] large sea animals may face the same threat today[D] slow-growing fish outlive fast-growing ones32.We can infer from Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm's paper that ____________.[A] the stock of large predators in some old fisheries has reduced by 90%[B] there are only half as many fisheries as there were 15 years ago[C] the catch sizes in new fisheries are only 20% of the original amount[D] the number of larger predators dropped faster in new fisheries than in the old33.By saying“these figures are conservative”(Line 1, Paragraph 3), Dr. Worm means that __________.[A] fishing technology has improved rapidly[B] the catch sizes are actually smaller than recorded[C] the marine biomass has suffered a greater loss[D] the data collected so far are out of date34.Dr. Myers and other researchers hold that __________.[A] people should look for a baseline that can work for a longer time[B] fisheries should keep the yield below 50% of the biomass[C] the ocean biomass should be restored its original level[D] people should adjust the fishing baseline to the changing situation35.The author seems to be mainly concerned with most fisheries' ___________.[A] management efficiency[B] biomass level[C] catch-size limits[D] technological applicationText 4①Many things make people think artists are weird. ②But the weirdest may be this: artists' only job is to explore emotions, and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.①This wasn't always so. ②The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are those best suited for expressing joy. ③But somewhere from the 19th century onward, more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless, phony or, worst of all, boring, as we went from Wordsworth's daffodils to Baudelaire's flowers of evil.①You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seen so much misery. ②But it's not as if earlier times didn't know perpetual war, disaster and the massacre of innocents. ③The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in the world today.①After all, what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness? ②Advertising. ③The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of mass media, and with it, a commercial culture in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology.①People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of misery. ②They worked until exhausted, lived with few protections and died young. ③In the West, before mass communication and literacy, the most powerful mass medium was the church, which reminded worshippers that their souls were in danger and that they would someday be meat for worms. ④Given all this, they did not exactly need their art to be a bummer too.①Today the messages the average Westerner is surrounded with are not religious but commercial, and forever happy. ②Fast-food eaters, news anchors, text messengers, all smiling, smiling, smiling. ③Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes. ④And since these messages have an agenda—to lure us to open our wallets—they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable. ⑤“Celebrate!”commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex, before we found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.①But what we forget—what our economy depends on us forgetting—is that happiness is more than pleasure without pain. ②The things that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest potential for loss and disappointment. ③Today, surrounded by promises of easy happiness, we need art to tell us as religion once did, Memento mori: remember that you will die, that everything ends, and that happiness comes not in denying this but in living with it. ④It's a message even more bitter than a clove cigarette, yet, somehow, a breath of fresh air.36.By citing the examples of poets Wordsworth and Baudelaire, the author intends to show that_________.[A] poetry is not as expressive of joy as painting or music[B] art grows out of both positive and negative feelings[C] poets today are less skeptical of happiness[D] artists have changed their focus of interest37.The word“bummer”(Line 4, Paragraph 5) most probably means something_________.[A] religious[B] unpleasant[C] entertaining[D] commercial38.In the author's opinion, advertising_________.[A] emerges in the wake of the anti-happy art[B] is a cause of disappointment for the general public[C] replaces the church as a major source of information[D] creates an illusion of happiness rather than happiness itself39.We can learn from the last paragraph that the author believes_________.[A] happiness more often than not ends in sadness[B] the anti-happy art is distasteful but refreshing[C] misery should be enjoyed rather than denied[D] the anti-happy art flourishes when economy booms40.Which of the following is true of the text?[A] Religion once functioned as a reminder of misery.[B] Art provides a balance between expectation and reality.[C] People feel disappointed at the realities of modern society.[D] Mass media are inclined to cover disasters and deaths.。

参考范文：Nowadays, urban transportation has become a prominent issue in our daily lives. With an increasing number of private cars on the road, traffic congestion has become a pressing concern. The heavy traffic not only leads to delays and frustration for commuters, but also has a negative impact on the environment.The environmental consequences of traffic congestion are significant. The emission of greenhouse gases from vehicles contributes to global warming and air pollution. The excessive noise produced by cars and trucks also affects people's health and well-being. Additionally, the construction and maintenance of roads and highways in urban areas may result in the destruction of natural habitats and contribute to urban sprawl.To address these issues, several potential solutions can be considered. Firstly, promoting the use of public transportation can help reduce congestion and vehicle emissions. Governments should invest in the improvement of public transportation systems, making them more efficient, affordable, and convenient for commuters. Secondly, encouraging alternative modes of transport, such as cycling and walking, can not only reduce traffic congestion, but also improve people's health and reduce pollution. Providing more cycling lanes and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure will encourage people to choose these greener options. Finally, implementing stricter regulations on vehicle emissions and promoting the use of electric and hybrid cars can significantly reduce air pollution.In conclusion, the urban transportation problem poses a serious threat to the environment. It is necessary for governments, communities, and individuals to work together in order to find effective solutions. By promoting the use of public transportation, encouraging alternative modes of transport, and implementing stricter environmental regulations, we can create a sustainable and green future for our cities.。

2006年考研英语一真题阅读翻译In the 1970s, Mexico City was considered one of the most polluted cities in the world. Its air quality was so poor that it often exceeded acceptable levels, and the city's residents suffered from various respiratory diseases. To combat this environmental crisis, the government implemented a series of measures aimed at reducing pollution levels.Firstly, stricter regulations were put in place to control industrial emissions. Factories were required to install pollution control devices and regularly monitor their emissions. Heavy penalties were imposed on violators, which encouraged industries to adopt cleaner production methods.Secondly, public transportation was greatly improved to reduce the number of private vehicles on the road. The government invested in the expansion and modernization of the metro system, as well as the implementation of bus rapid transit (BRT) systems. This made it more convenient and affordable for citizens to choose public transportation over driving their own cars.Furthermore, efforts were made to promote alternative energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Solar and wind power projects were introduced, and incentives were provided to individuals and businesses to switch to these cleaner energy sources. Additionally, the government invested in the development of electric vehicles and established charging stations across the city.To address the issue of waste management, recycling programs were implemented, and landfills were regulated to prevent the release of harmfulsubstances into the environment. Trash collection systems were improved, ensuring that waste was properly disposed of and reducing the amount of pollution generated.In addition to these measures, educational campaigns were launched to raise awareness about the importance of environmental conservation. Schools and community organizations organized workshops and seminars to educate the public on sustainable practices and encourage individual actions to reduce pollution.As a result of these efforts, Mexico City experienced a significant improvement in air quality over the years. The concentration of pollutant particles in the air decreased, and the occurrence of respiratory diseases declined. The city's public transportation system became more efficient and reliable, reducing traffic congestion and greenhouse gas emissions. Renewable energy sources played a larger role in the energy mix, contributing to a reduction in carbon emissions. Waste management practices improved, leading to less pollution from landfill sites.However, despite these achievements, the battle against pollution in Mexico City is ongoing. The city continues to face challenges such as population growth, urbanization, and industrial expansion, which pose new threats to the environment. It is important for the government and the community to remain vigilant and proactive in implementing sustainable solutions to protect the city's air, water, and land.In conclusion, the measures implemented by the Mexican government to combat pollution in Mexico City have resulted in significant improvements in air quality, public transportation, energy sources, and waste management.These efforts serve as a testament to the importance of environmental conservation and the need for collective action to address environmental challenges.。

2006考研英语真题英语一阅读部分

Text 1①In spite of“endless talk of difference,”American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. ②There is“the democratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of deference”characteristic of popular culture. ③People are absorbed into“a culture of consumption”launched by the 19th century department stores that offered“vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. ④Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite”these were stores“anyone could enter, regardless of class or background. ⑤This turned shopping into a public and democratic act.”⑥The mass media, advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization.①Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous. ②Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today's immigration is neither at unprecedented levels nor resistant to assimilation. ③In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of the population; in 1900, 13.6 percent. ④In the 10 years prior to 1990, 3.1 immigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10 years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1,000. ⑤Now, consider three indices of assimilation—language, home ownership and intermarriage.①The 1990 Census revealed that“a majority of immigrants from each of the fifteen most common countries of origin spoke English‘well’or‘very well’after ten years of residence.”②The children of immigrants tend to be bilingual and proficient in English. ③“By the third generation, the original language is lost in the majority of immigrant families.”④Hence the description of America as a“graveyard”for languages. ⑤By 1996 foreign-born immigrants who had arrived before 1970 had a home ownership rate of75.6 percent, higher than the 69.8 percent rate among native-born Americans.①Foreign-born Asians and Hispanics“have higher rates of intermarriage than do U.S.-born whites and blacks.”②By the third generation, one third of Hispanic women are married to non-Hispanics, and 41 percent of Asian-American women are married to non-Asians.①Rodriguez notes that children in remote villages around the world are fans of superstars like ArnoldSchwarzenegger and Garth Brooks, yet“some Americans fear that immigrant living within the United States remain somehow immune to the nation's assimilative power.”①Are there divisive issues and pockets of seething anger in America? ②Indeed. ③It is big enough to have a bit of everything. ④But particularly when viewed against America's turbulent past, today's social indices hardly suggest a dark and deteriorating social environment.21.The word“homogenizing”(Line 1, Paragraph 1) most probably means________.[A] identifying[B] associating[C] assimilating[D] monopolizing22.According to the author, the department stores of the 19th century_________.[A] played a role in the spread of popular culture[B] became intimate shops for common consumers[C] satisfied the needs of a knowledgeable elite[D] owed its emergence to the culture of consumption23.The text suggests that immigrants now in the U.S._________.[A] are resistant to homogenization[B] exert a great influence on American culture[C] are hardly a threat to the common culture[D] constitute the majority of the population24.Why are Arnold Schwarzenegger and Garth Brooks mentioned in Paragraph 5?[A] To prove their popularity around the world.[B] To reveal the public's fear of immigrants.[C] To give examples of successful immigrants.[D] To show the powerful influence of American culture.25.In the author's opinion, the absorption of immigrants into American society is_________.[A] rewarding[B] successful[C] fruitless[D] harmfulText 2①Stratford-on-Avon, as we all know, has only one industry—William Shakespeare—but there are two distinctly separate and increasingly hostile branches. ②There is the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC), which presents superb productions of the plays at the Shakespeare Memorial Theatre on the Avon. ③And there are the townsfolk who largely live off the tourists who come, not to see the plays, but to look at Anne Hathaway's Cottage, Shakespeare's birthplace and the other sights.①The worthy residents of Stratford doubt that the theatre adds a penny to their revenue. ②They frankly dislike the RSC's actors, them with their long hair and beards and sandals and noisiness. ③It's all deliciously ironic when you consider that Shakespeare, who earns their living, was himself an actor (with a beard) and did his share of noise-making.①The tourist streams are not entirely separate. ②The sightseers who come by bus—and often take in Warwick Castle and Blenheim Palace on the side—don't usually see the plays, and some of them are even surprised to find a theatre in Stratford. ③However, the playgoers do manage a little sight-seeing along with their playgoing. ④It is the playgoers, the RSC contends, who bring in much of the town's revenue because they spend the night (some of them four or five nights) pouring cash into the hotels and restaurants. ⑤The sightseers can take in everything and get out of town by nightfall.①The townsfolk don't see it this way and the local council does not contribute directly to the subsidy of the Royal Shakespeare Company. ②Stratford cries poor traditionally. ③Nevertheless every hotel in town seems to be adding a new wing or cocktail lounge. ④Hilton is building its own hotel there, which you may be sure will be decorated with Hamlet Hamburger Bars, the Lear Lounge, the Banquo Banqueting Room, and so forth, and will be very expensive.①Anyway, the townsfolk can't understand why the Royal Shakespeare Company needs a subsidy.②(The theatre has broken attendance records for three years in a row. Last year its 1,431 seats were 94 percent occupied all year long and this year they'll do better.) ③The reason, of course, is that costs have rocketed and ticket prices have stayed low.①It would be a shame to raise prices too much because it would drive away the young people who are Stratford's most attractive clientele. ②They come entirely for the plays, not the sights. ③They all seem to look alike (though they come from all over)—lean, pointed, dedicated faces, wearing jeans and sandals, eating their buns and bedding down for the night on the flagstones outside the theatre to buy the 20 seats and 80 standing-room tickets held for the sleepers and sold to them when the box office opens at 10:30 a.m.26.From the first two paragraphs, we learn that__________.[A] the townsfolk deny the RSC's contribution to the town's revenue[B] the actors of the RSC imitate Shakespeare on and off stage[C] the two branches of the RSC are not on good terms[D] the townsfolk earn little from tourism27.It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that__________.[A] the sightseers cannot visit the Castle and the Palace separately[B] the playgoers spend more money than the sightseers[C] the sightseers do more shopping than the playgoers[D] the playgoers go to no other places in town than the theater28.By saying“Stratford cries poor traditionally”(Line 2, Paragraph 4), the author implies that__________.[A] Stratford cannot afford the expansion projects[B] Stratford has long been in financial difficulties[C] the town is not really short of money[D] the townsfolk used to be poorly paid29.According to the townsfolk, the RSC deserves no subsidy because__________.[A] ticket prices can be raised to cover the spending[B] the company is financially ill-managed[C] the behavior of the actors is not socially acceptable[D] the theatre attendance is on the rise30.From the text we can conclude that the author__________.[A] is supportive of both sides[B] favors the townsfolk's view[C] takes a detached attitude[D] is sympathetic to the RSCText 3①When prehistoric man arrived in new parts of the world, something strange happened to the large animals: they suddenly became extinct. ②Smaller species survived. ③The large, slow-growing animals were easy game, and were quickly hunted to extinction. ④Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.①That the seas are being overfished has been known for years. ②What researchers such as Ransom Myers and Boris Worm have shown is just how fast things are changing. ③They have looked at half a century of data from fisheries around the world. ④Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass (the amount of living biological matter) of fish species in particular parts of the ocean, but rather changes in that biomass over time. ⑤According to their latest paper published in Nature, the biomass of large predators (animals that kill and eat other animals) in a new fishery is reduced on average by 80% within15 years of the start of exploitation. ⑥In some long-fished areas, it has halved again since then.①Dr. Worm acknowledges that these figures are conservative. ②One reason for this is that fishing technology has improved. ③Today's vessels can find their prey using satellites and sonar, which were not available 50 years ago. ④That means a higher proportion of what is in the sea is being caught, so the real difference between present and past is likely to be worse than the one recorded by changes in catch sizes.⑤In the early days, too, longlines would have been more saturated with fish. ⑥Some individuals would therefore not have been caught, since no baited hooks would have been available to trap them, leading to an underestimate of fish stocks in the past. ⑦Furthermore, in the early days of longline fishing, a lot of fish were lost to sharks after they had been hooked. ⑧That is no longer a problem, because there are fewer sharks around now.①Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm argue that their work gives a correct baseline, which future management efforts must take into account. ②They believe the data support an idea current among marine biologists, that of the“shifting baseline”. ③The notion is that people have failed to detect the massive changes which have happened in the ocean because they have been looking back only a relatively short time into the past. ④Thatmatters because theory suggests that the maximum sustainable yield that can be cropped from a fishery comes when the biomass of a target species is about 50% of its original levels. ⑤Most fisheries are well below that, which is a bad way to do business.31.The extinction of large prehistoric animals is noted to suggest that ____________.[A] large animal were vulnerable to the changing environment[B] small species survived as large animals disappeared[C] large sea animals may face the same threat today[D] slow-growing fish outlive fast-growing ones32.We can infer from Dr. Myers and Dr. Worm's paper that ____________.[A] the stock of large predators in some old fisheries has reduced by 90%[B] there are only half as many fisheries as there were 15 years ago[C] the catch sizes in new fisheries are only 20% of the original amount[D] the number of larger predators dropped faster in new fisheries than in the old33.By saying“these figures are conservative”(Line 1, Paragraph 3), Dr. Worm means that __________.[A] fishing technology has improved rapidly[B] the catch sizes are actually smaller than recorded[C] the marine biomass has suffered a greater loss[D] the data collected so far are out of date34.Dr. Myers and other researchers hold that __________.[A] people should look for a baseline that can work for a longer time[B] fisheries should keep the yield below 50% of the biomass[C] the ocean biomass should be restored its original level[D] people should adjust the fishing baseline to the changing situation35.The author seems to be mainly concerned with most fisheries' ___________.[A] management efficiency[B] biomass level[C] catch-size limits[D] technological applicationText 4①Many things make people think artists are weird. ②But the weirdest may be this: artists' only job is to explore emotions, and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.①This wasn't always so. ②The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are those best suited for expressing joy. ③But somewhere from the 19th century onward, more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless, phony or, worst of all, boring, as we went from Wordsworth's daffodils to Baudelaire's flowers of evil.①You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seen so much misery. ②But it's not as if earlier times didn't know perpetual war, disaster and the massacre of innocents. ③The reason, in fact, may be just the opposite: there is too much damn happiness in the world today.①After all, what is the one modern form of expression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness? ②Advertising. ③The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks the emergence of mass media, and with it, a commercial culture in which happiness is not just an ideal but an ideology.①People in earlier eras were surrounded by reminders of misery. ②They worked until exhausted, lived with few protections and died young. ③In the West, before mass communication and literacy, the most powerful mass medium was the church, which reminded worshippers that their souls were in danger and that they would someday be meat for worms. ④Given all this, they did not exactly need their art to be a bummer too.①Today the messages the average Westerner is surrounded with are not religious but commercial, and forever happy. ②Fast-food eaters, news anchors, text messengers, all smiling, smiling, smiling. ③Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes. ④And since these messages have an agenda—to lure us to open our wallets—they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable.⑤“Celebrate!”commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex, before we found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.①But what we forget—what our economy depends on us forgetting—is that happiness is more than pleasure without pain. ②The things that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest potential for loss and disappointment. ③Today, surrounded by promises of easy happiness, we need art to tell us as religion once did, Memento mori: remember that you will die, that everything ends, and that happiness comes not in denying this but in living with it. ④It's a message even more bitter than a clove cigarette, yet, somehow, a breath of fresh air.36.By citing the examples of poets Wordsworth and Baudelaire, the author intends to show that_________.[A] poetry is not as expressive of joy as painting or music[B] art grows out of both positive and negative feelings[C] poets today are less skeptical of happiness[D] artists have changed their focus of interest37.The word“bummer”(Line 4, Paragraph 5) most probably means something_________.[A] religious[B] unpleasant[C] entertaining[D] commercial38.In the author's opinion, advertising_________.[A] emerges in the wake of the anti-happy art[B] is a cause of disappointment for the general public[C] replaces the church as a major source of information[D] creates an illusion of happiness rather than happiness itself39.We can learn from the last paragraph that the author believes_________.[A] happiness more often than not ends in sadness[B] the anti-happy art is distasteful but refreshing[C] misery should be enjoyed rather than denied[D] the anti-happy art flourishes when economy booms40.Which of the following is true of the text?[A] Religion once functioned as a reminder of misery.[B] Art provides a balance between expectation and reality.[C] People feel disappointed at the realities of modern society.[D] Mass media are inclined to cover disasters and

2006年全国硕士研究生入学考试英语试题文章翻译Section I Use of English无家可归者占美国人口的比例不断增长。

这一比例如此之大，甚至地方政府也无法应付。

为帮助他们自立，联邦政府必须扶持工作培训项目，提高最低工资，资助建造低价房屋。

多少美国人无家可归，其数字存有争议。

据估计其数目从60万到300万不等。

尽管该数目有变化，分析人士确信另一个问题：即无家可归者的人数正不断增加，联邦政府的一项研究预言，十年后该数字将达到近1900万。

采取措施来帮助日益增长的这群人变得愈发艰难。

虽然他们每个人试图寻找一处寄宿处，可以得到一日三餐，夜里安眠，但是，很多人仍旧大半时间流浪在街头，部分原因是许多无家可归的成年人嗜酒或吸毒，还有人患有严重的精神障碍，尽管其他人虽无不良嗜好，也无精神障碍，但是缺少简单的生存技能来重新生活。

波士顿环球报记者克里斯·雷顿说，只有通过全面的项目满足了无家可归者的不同需求，这种状况才能改善。

爱德华·布莱克斯基，马萨诸塞州本特里学院的慈善中心主任，断言，“各种救助项目需要协调，我们所需的是一揽子计划”。

它们并不是只为满足知识精英人士的舒适型商店”，这些商店“任何人都可以光顾，无论阶层与背景如何，从而使得购物成为一种公共的和大众化的行为”。

大众媒体、广告和体育是其他同化的力量。

2006-1Text41-Many things make people think artists are weird.But the weirdest may be this:artists’only job is to explore emotions,and yet they choose to focus on the ones that feel bad.2-This wasn’t always so.The earliest forms of art,like painting and music,are those best suited for expressing joy.But somewhere from the19th century onward,more artists began seeing happiness as meaningless,phony or,worst of all,boring,as we went from Wordsworth’s daffodils to Baudelaire’s flowers of evil.3-You could argue that art became more skeptical of happiness because modern times have seen so much misery.But it’s not as if earlier times didn’t know perpetual war,disaster and the massacre of innocents.The reason,in fact,may be just the opposite:there is too much damn happiness in the world today.Fast-food eaters,news anchors,text messengers,all smiling,smiling,smiling.Our magazines feature beaming celebrities and happy families in perfect homes.And since these messages have an agenda-to lure us to open our wallets-they make the very idea of happiness seem unreliable.“Celebrate!”commanded the ads for the arthritis drug Celebrex,before we found out it could increase the risk of heart attacks.7-But what we forget-what our economy depends on us forgetting-is that happiness is more than pleasure without pain.The things that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest potential for loss and disappointment.Today,surrounded by promises of easy happiness,we need art to tell us,as religion once did,Memento mori:remember that you will die,that everything ends,and that happiness comes not in denying this but in living with it.It’s a message even more bitter than a clove cigarette,yet,somehow,a breath of fresh air.36.By citing the examples of poets Wordsworth and Baudelaire,the author intends to show that________.[A]poetry is not as expressive of joy as painting or music[B]art grows out of both positive and negative feelings[C]poets today are less skeptical of happiness[D]artists have changed their focus of interest37.The word“bummer”(Line5,paragraph5)most probably means something________.[A]religious[B]unpleasant[C]entertaining[D]commercial38.In the author’s opinion,advertising________.[A]emerges in the wake of the anti-happy art[B]is a cause of disappointment for the general public[C]replaces the church as a major source of information[D]creates an illusion of happiness rather than happiness itself39.We can learn from the last paragraph that the author believes________.[A]happiness more often than not ends in sadness[B]the anti-happy art is distasteful but refreshing[C]misery should be enjoyed rather than denied[D]the anti-happy art flourishes when economy booms40.Which of the following is true of the text?[A]Religion once functioned as a reminder of misery.[B]Art provides a balance between expectation and reality.[C]People feel disappointed at the realities of modern society.[D]Mass media are inclined to cover disasters and deaths.。

05-06阅读理解原文翻译2006 text 1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。

这就是民主化的着装和话语的统一以及十九世纪在高雅的氛围中陈列着琳琅满目的商品的百货商店所发起的随意消费及没有消费的活动。

他们不是为了迎合有知识的精英们而开设亲情商店，而是创建了“不分阶层和背景人人都可以进入”的大众商店。

这使得购物成为一种大众的、民主的行为。

大众传媒、广告和体育也是协助人们均质化的推动力。

尽管这种文化一点也不高雅，但也不是完全有害的，移民们很快就融入了这种共同文化。

Gregory Rodriguez为美国移民研讨会撰文指出，今天的移民既不是处于空前的水平，也不抵制同化。

在1998年，移民占全国人口的9.8%；在1900年为13.6%。

在1990年以前的十年之中，在每千位居民当中，有3.1位新来的移民；而在1890年以前的十年之中，每千位居民当中就有9.2位移民。

现在，让我们来看一下三个同化指标——语言、拥有产权住房和异族结婚情况。

1990年的人口普查透露：“来自十五个移民数量最多的国家的移民在到美国十年后英语说得…好‟或…很好‟。

”移民的子女几乎都说两种语言，且精通英语。

“到了第三代，在大多数移民家庭，他们的母语就消失了。

”因此，有人就把美国描述成了“语言的坟场”。

在国外出生的亚裔和西班牙裔移民“与美国本土白人和黑人相比，与异族通婚的比率要高。

”到了第三代，有三分之一的西班牙裔女性与非西班牙裔男性结婚，而有41%亚裔美国妇女与非亚裔男性结婚。

06年1月,14年1月真题翻译

06.1乔治雅（Georgia) 要结婚了。

在圣诞节前一周，年前的最后一天，她即将成为乔瑟夫·坦克夫人。

他告诉乔他们要是想结婚，最好还是今年就完事，不过也没必要过早。

而且她还向他说明白，她想嫁给他只是因为自己厌烦了到哪儿都有人拿着纸袋子在她面前晃来晃去，所以她想要是正式和乔结婚了，那些无聊的人就不会那样古怪的烦扰她了。

她的闺蜜厄妮斯汀（Ernestine）对结婚的事情表示赞同，不过厄妮斯汀从来都支持她。

乔表示，对她所说的一切，他聪明的大脑都可以理解。

乔说，对他来讲，做事情的原因已经不再重要，做的这件事有意义就可以了。

昨天是她忙碌于报纸之间的最后一天。

她感觉接手最后一项任务的感觉是那么的奇怪，很难找到合适的状态，因为最后编辑的一个故事是关于猪肉包装机的，这可不是什么有利于感怀忧伤的好背景。

就好似新闻行业不允许即将离去的人有一丁点多愁善感。

但是在后来收拾办公桌准备离开时，那悲伤还是涌上心头，她不禁好奇什么样的女孩会坐在这个旧桌子上——如果他们想再试试招聘一个女孩子，那个可怜的女孩会不会被人看做很轻佻，当牛做马度过很多年，然后在勤奋刻苦之后，却不得不把手中的成果交给某个不劳而获的男人。

在打印最后一张信的时候——她真心不想离开这台老机器——乔治雅开始思考这样的一种讽刺，那就是努力到最后只为了要放弃。

她曾跋涉风雪，身临暴雨，她曾冻僵，也曾热昏，她曾遭遇芝加哥大风，被风吹的差点支离破碎，她曾被前门——是的，还有后门——一起扇过脸庞，她曾是粗活累活的跑腿者，她曾被面色无光的妇女看做被生活所迫的可怜姑娘，她曾被质疑批评——不过这也就算了——她还有过专门的一到两个报道区域！然而现在，她要将一切结束，嫁给乔瑟夫·坦克，那个通过制造纸袋赚了很多钱的男人。

这居然是她要走向的命运——一个原本一直相信自己会在纽约结束生命，或者写一部现实小说揭露巨大罪恶的她！14.1年轻人刚刚走过Hatchard（哈彻德）家大门，就只剩下Charity（慈善）自己了。
