texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B, C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)英语(二)试题.2.(共14页)Text1In her new book Cogs and Monsters:What Economics Is,and What It Should Be, Diane Coyle,an cconomist at Cambridge University,argues that the digital economy requires new ways of thinking about progress.“Whatever we mean by the economy growing,by things getting better,the gains will have to be more evenly shared than in the recent past,”she writes.“An economy of tech millionaires or billionaires and gig workers,with middle-income jobs undercut by automation,will not be politically sustainable.”Improving living standards and increasing prosperity for more people will require greater use of digital technologies to boost productivity in various sectors,including health care and construction,says Coyle.But people can't be expected to embrace the changes if they're not seeing the benefits—if they're just seeing good jobs being destroyed.In a recent interview,Coyle said she fears that tech's inequality problem could be a roadblock to deploying AI.“We're talking about disruption,”she says.“These are transformative technologies that change the ways we spend our time every day,that change business models that succeed.”To make such“tremendous changes,”she adds, you need social buy-in.Instead,says Coyle,resentment is simmering among many as the benefits are perceived to go to elites in a handful of prosperous cities.According to the Brookings Institution,a short list of eight American cities that included San Francisco,San Jose,Boston,and Seattle had roughly38%of all tech jobs by2019.New AI technologies are particularly concentrated:Brookings's Mark Muro and Sifan Liu estimate that just15cities account for two-thirds of the AI assets and capabilities in the United States.The dominance of a few cities in the invention and commercialization of AI means that geographical disparities in wealth will continue to soar.Not only will this foster poltical and social unrest,but it could,as Coyle suggests,hold back the sorts of AI technologies needed for regional economies to grow.Part of the solution could lie in somehow loosening the stranglehold that Big Tech has on defining the AI agenda.That will likely take increased federal funding for research independent of the tech giants.A more immediate response is to broaden our digital imaginations to conceive of AI technologies that don't simply replace jobs but expand opportunities in the sectors that different parts of the country care most about,like health care,education,and manufacturing.英语(二)试题.3.(共14页)21.Coyle argues in her new book that economic growth should[A]give rise to innovations[B]diversify career choices[C]bencfit people cqually[D]be promoted forcefully22.According to Paragraph2,digital technologies should be used to[A]bring about instant prosperity[B]reduce people's workload[C]raise overall work efficiency[D]enhance cross-sector cooperation23.What does Coyle fear about transformative technologies?[A]They may affect work-life balance.[B]They may be impractical to deploy.[C]They may incur huge expenditure.[D]They may be unwelcome to the public.24.Several American cities are mentioned to show[A]the uneven distribution of AI technologies in the US[B]the disappointing prospect of tech jobs in the US[C]the fast progress of US regional economies[D]the increasing significance of US AI assets25.With regard to Coyle's concern,the author suggests[A]raising funds to start new AI projects[B]encouraging collaboration in AI research[C]guarding against the side effects of AI[D]redefining the role of AI technologies英语(二)试题.4.(共14页)Text2The UK is facing a future construction crisis because of a failure to plant trees to produce wood,Confor has warned.The forestry and wood trade body has called for urgent action to reduce the country's reliance on timber imports and provide a stable supply of wood for future generations.Currently only20per cent of the UK's wood requirement is home-grown while it remains the second-largest net importer of timber in the world.Coming at a time of fresh incentives from the UK government for landowners to grow more trees,the trade body says these don't go far enough and fail to promote the benefits of planting them to boost timber supplies.“Not only are we facing a carbon crisis now,but we will also be facing a future construction crisis because of a failure to plant trees to produce wood,”said Stuart Goodall,chief executive of Confor.“For decades we have not taken responsibility for investing in our domestic wood supply, leaving us exposed to fluctuating prices and fighting for future supplies of wood as global demand rises and our own supplies fall.”The UK has ideal conditions for growing wood to build low-carbon homes and is a global leader in certifying that its forests are sustainably managed,Confor says.While around three quarters of Scottish homes are built from Scottish timber,the use of home-grown wood in England is only around25per cent.The causes of the UK's current position are complex and range from outdated perceptions of productive forestry to the decimation of trees by grey squirrels.It also encompasses significant hesitation on behalf of farmers and other landowners to invest in longer-term planting projects.While productive tree planting can deliver real financial benefits to rural economies and contribute to the UK's net-zero strategy,the focus of government support continues to be on food production and the rewilding and planting of native woodland solely for biodiversity.Goodall added:“While food production and biodiversity health are clearly of critical importance,we need our land to also provide secure supplies of wood for construction,manufacturing and contribute to net zero.“While the UK government has stated its ambition for more tree planting,there has been little action on the ground.Confor is now calling for much greater impetus behind those aspirations to ensure we have enough wood to meet increasing demand.”英语(二)试题.5.(共14页)26.It can be learned from Paragraph1that the UK needs to[A]increase its domestic wood supply[B]reduce its demand for timber[C]lower its wood production costs[D]lift its control on timber imports27.According to Confor,the UK government's fresh incentives[A]can hardly addressa construction crisis[B]are believed to come at a wrong time[C]seem to be misleading for landowners[D]will be too costly to put into practice28.The UK's exposure to fluctuating wood prices is a result of[A]the governments inaction on timber imports[B]inadequate investment in growing wood[C]the competition among timber traders at home[D]wood producers'motive to maximise profits29.Which of the following causes the shortage of wood supply in the UK?[A]Excessive timber consumption in construction.[B]Unfavourable conditions for growing wood.[C]Outdated technologies of the wood industry.[D]Farmers'unwillingness to plant trees.30.What does Goodall think the UK government should do?[A]Subsidise the building of low-carbon homes.[B]Pay greater attention to boosting rural economies.[C]Provide more support for productive tree planting.[D]Give priority to pursuing its net-zero strategy.英语(二)试题.6.(共14页)Text3One of the biggest challenges in keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road is convincing them that it's time to turn over the keys.“Its a complete life-changer”when someone stops—or is forced to stop—driving,said former risk manager Anne M.Menke.“The American Medical Association advises physicians that'in situations where clear evidence of substantial driving impairment implies a strong threat to patient and public safety,and where the physician's advice to discontinue driving privileges is ignored,it is desirable and ethical to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles,”Menke wrote.“Some states require physicians to report,others allow but do not mandate reports,while a few consider a report a breach of confidentiality.There could be liability and penalties if a physician does not act in accordance with state laws on reporting and confidentiality,”she counseled.Part of the problem in keeping older drivers safe is that the difficulties are addressed piecemeal by different professions with different focuses,including gerontologists,highway administration officials,automotive engineers and others,said gerontologist Elizabeth Dugan.“There's not a National Institute of Older Driver Studies,”she said.“We need better evidence on what makes drivers unsafe”and what can help,said Dugan.One thing that does seem to work is requiring drivers to report in person for license renewal.Mandatory in-person renewal was associated with a31percent reduction in fatal crashes involving drivers85or older,according to one study.Passing vision tests also produced a similar decline in fatal crashes for those drivers,although there appeared to be no benefit from combining the two.Many older drivers don't see eye doctors or can't afford to.Primary care providers have their hands full and may not be able to follow through with patients who have trouble driving because they can't turn their heads or remember where they are going—or have gotten shorter and haven't changed their seat settings sufficiently to reach car pedals easily.As long as there are other cars on the roads,self-driving cars won't solve the problems of crashes,said Dugan.Avoiding dangers posed by all those human drivers would require too many algorithms,she said.But we need to do more to improve safety, said Dugan.“If we're going to have100-year lives,we need cars that a90-year-old can drive comfortably.”英语(二)试题.7.(共14页)31.According to Paragraph1,keeping unsafe aging drivers off the road[A]is a new safety measure[B]has become a disputed issue[C]can be a tough task to complete[D]will be beneficial to their health32.The American Medical Association's advice[A]has won support from drivers[B]is generally considered unrealistic[C]is widely dismissed as unnecessary[D]has met with different responses33.According to Dugan,efforts to keep older drivers safe[A]have brought about big changes[B]need to be well coordinated[C]have gained public recognition[D]call for relevant legal support34.Some older drivers have trouble driving because they tend to[A]stick with bad driving habits[B]have a weakened memory[C]suffer from chronic pains[D]neglect car maintenance35.Dugan thinks that the solution to the problems of crashes may lie in[A]upgrading self-driving vehicles[B]developing senior-friendly cars[C]renovating transport facilities[D]adjusting the age limit for drivers英语(二)试题.8.(共14页)Text4If you look at the apps on your phone,chances are you have at least one related to your health—and probably several.Whether it is a mental health app,a fitness tracker,a connected health device or somcthing clsc,many of us are taking advantage of this technology to keep better track of our health in some shape or form.Recent research from the Organization for the Review of Care and Health Applications found that350,000 health apps were available on the market,90,000of which launched in2020alone.While these apps have a great deal to offer,it is not always clear how the personal information we input is collected,safeguarded and shared online.Existing health privacy law,such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act,is primarily focused on the way hospitals,doctors'offices,clinics and insurance companies store health records online.The health information these apps and health data tracking wearables are collecting typically do not receive the same legal protections.Without additional protections in place,companies may share(and potentially monetize)personal health information in a way consumers may not have authorized or anticipated.In2021,Flo Health faced a Federal Trade Commission(FTC)investigation. The FTC alleged in a complaint that“despite express privacy claims,the company took control of users'sensitive fertility data and shared it with third parties.”Flo Health and the FTC settled the matter with a Consent Order requiring the company to get app users' express affirmative consent before sharing their health information as well as to instruct the third parties to delete the data they had obtained.Section5of the FTC Act empowers the FTC to initiate enforcement action against unfair or deceptive acts,meaning the FTC can only act after the fact if a company's privacy practices are misleading or cause unjustified consumer harm.While the FTC is doing what it can to ensure apps are keeping their promises to consumers around the handling of their sensitive health information,the rate at which these health apps are hitting the market demonstrates just how immense of a challenge this is.As to the prospects for federal legislation,commentators suggest that comprehensive federal privacy legislation seems unlikely in the short term.States have begun implementing their own solutions to shore up protections for consumer-generated health data.California has been at the forefront of state privacy efforts with the California Consumer Privacy Act of2018.Virginia,Colorado and Utah have also recently passed state consumer data privacy legislation.英语(二)试题.9.(共14页)The rsearch findings are cited in Paragraph1to show[A]the prevalence of health apps[B]the public concern over health[C]the popularity ofsmartphones[D]the advancemcnt of technology37.What does the author imply about existing health privacy law?[A]Its coverage needs to be extended.[B]Its enforcement needs strengthening.[C]It has discouraged medical misconduct.[D]It has disappointed insurance companies.38.Before sharing its users'health information,Flo Health is required to[A]seek the approval of the FTC[B]find qualified third parties[C]remove irrelevant personal data[D]obtain their explicit permission39.What challenge is the FTC currently faced with?[A]The complexity of health information.[B]The rapid increase in new health apps.[C]The subtle deceptiveness of health apps.[D]The difficulty in assessing consumer harm.40.It can be learmed from the last paragraph that health data protection[A]has been embraced by health app developers[B]has been a focus of federal policy-making[C]has encountered opposition in California[D]has gained legislative support in some states英语(二)试题10.(共14页)Part BDirections:Read the following text and match each of the numbered items in

Applicants'Extracurricular Activities High school students eager to stand out in the college application process often participate in a litany of extracurricular activities hoping to bolster their chances of admission to a selective undergraduate institution.However,college admissions experts say that the quality of a college hopefuls extracurricular activities matters more than the number of activities he or she participates in.Sue Rexford,the director of college guidance at the Charles E.Smith Jewish Day School,says it is not necessary for a student filling out the Common Application to list 10activities in the application.“No college will expect that a student has a huge laundry list of extracurriculars that they have been passionately involved in each for an extended period of time.”Rexford wrote in an email.Experts say it is tougher to distinguish oneself in a school-atfiliated extracurricular activity that is common among high school students than it is to stand out while doing an uncommon activity.“The competition to stand out and make an impact is going to be much stiffer,and so if they're going to do a popular activity,I'd say,be the best at it,"says Saa Harberson,a college admissions consultant.High school students who have an impressive personal project they are working on independently often impress colleges,experts say.“For example,a student with an interest in entrepreneurship could demonstrate skill and potential by starting a profitable small business,"Olivia Valdes,the founder of Zen Admissions consulting firm,wrote in an email.Joseph Adegboyega-Edun,a Maryland high school guidance counselor,ss unconventional extracuricular activities can help students impress college admissions otics assuming they demonstrated serious commitment.“Again,since one of the big qucstions high school seniors must consider is‘What makes you unique?,`having an uncommon extracurricular activity vs.a conventional one is an advantage,"he wrote in an email.英语(二)试题.11、(共14页)Experts say demonstrating talent in at least one extracurricular activity can help in the college admissions process,especially at top-tier undergraduate institutions.“Distinguishing yourself in one focused type of extracurricular activity can be a positive in the admissions process,espccially for highly selective institutions,where having top grades and test scores is not enough,”Katie Kelley,admissions counselor at IvyWise admissions consultancy,wrote in an email.“Students need to have that quality or hook that will appeal to admissions officers and allow them to visualize how the student might come and enrich their campus community.”Extracurricular activities related to the college major declared on a college application are beneficial,experts suggest.“If you already know your major,having an extracurricular that fits into that major can be a big plus,”says Mayghin Levine,the manager of educational opportunities with The Cabbage Patch Settlement House,a Louisville,Kentucky,nonprofit community center.High school students who have had a strong positive influence on their community through an extracurricular activity may impress a college and win a scholarship,says Erica Gwyn,a former math and science magnet program assistant at a public high school who is now executive director of the Kaleidoscope Careers Academy in Atlanta, a nonprofit organization.[A]Students who stand out in a specific extracurricularactivity will be favored by top-tier institutions.41.Sue Rexford [B]Students whose extracurricular activity has benefited their community are likely to win a scholarship.42.Sara Harberson [C]Undertaking too many extracurricular activities will hardly be seen as a plus by colleges.43.Katie Kelley [D]A student who exhibits abilities in doing business can impress colleges.44.Mayghin Levine [E]High school students participating in a popular activity should excel in it.45.Erica Gwyn [F]Engaging in uncommon activities can demonstrate students'determination and dedication.[G]It is advisable for students to choose an extracurricular activity that is related to their future study at college.英语(二)试题.12.(共14页)SectionⅢTranslation46.Directions:Translate the following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15points)With the smell of coffee and fresh bread floating in the air,stalls bursting with colourful vegetables and tempting cheeses,and the buzz of friendly chats,farmers' markets are a feast for the senses.They also provide an opportunity to talk to the people responsible for growing or raising your food,support your local economy and pick up fresh seasonal produce—all at the same time.Farmers'markets are usually weekly or monthly events,most often with outdoor stalls,which allow farmers or producers to sell their food directly to customers.The size or regularity of markets can vary from season to season,depending on the area's agricultural calendar,and you're likely to find different produce on sale at different times of the year.By cutting out the middleman,the farmers secure more profit for their produce.Shoppers also benefit from seeing exactly where—and to who—their money is going.英语(二)试题13.(共14页)Section IV WritingPart A47、Directions:Suppose you and Jack are going to do a survey on the protection of old houses in

第一部分:阅读理解文章一:根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

Passage 1In a few areas of the western United States, a pine tree called the “limber pine” is under attack. If the insects that are attacking it continue to spread, then this tall, slender, cone-bearing tree may become extinct. The destruction would be unfortunate, for the limber pine is a beautiful, hardy tree that has lived there in peace for hundreds of years.The enemies of the limber pine are the beetles called the “mountain pine beetles”. Adult mountain pine beetles lay eggs on the trunks of limber pines. The eggs hatch, and the baby beetles begin to feed on the inner layers of bark. As the baby beetles eat and grow, they dig long tunnels winding through the tree's trunk, leaving behind their jagged trails.Awarding-winning nature photographer Robert Fletcher spends hours wandering through these fascinating tunnels of the beetles. He carefully examin es the damage, maps the length of the tunnel and counts the eggs. “It is like walking through a giant nut looked inside a layer upon layer of peanutbutter”, he says. “Sometimes the infestation is so severe that the tree cannot defend itself and will die.”Mountain pine beetles cause the trunks of the pines to die, and the branches and needles turn reddish-brown, then gray. In fact, millions of trees have already succumbed to the attacks of these insects. The tree is dying by inches, similar to a person who has contracted some terrible disease.1. What is the main topic of the passage?A. The attack on the limber pine by beetles.B. An award-winning photographer.C. The death of a tree.D. Extinction.解析:文章主要讨论的话题是“攻击延硕山松的甲虫”,所以选项A 是正确答案。

II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions after each text by Choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40points)Text1In the quest for the perfect lawn,homeowners across the country are taking a shortcut—and it is the environment that is paying the price.About eight million square metres of plastic grass is sold each year but opposition has now spread to the highest gardening circles.The Chelsea Flower Show has banned fake grass from this year’s event,declaring it to be not part of its ethos.The Royal Horticultural Society(RHS),which runs the annual show in west London,says it has introduced the ban because of the damage plastic grass does to the environment and biodiversity.Ed Horne,of the RHS,said:“We launched our sustainability strategy last year and fake grass is just not in line with our ethos and views on plastic.We recommend using real grass because of its environmental benefits,which include supporting wildlife,mitigating flooding and cooling the environment.”The RHS’s decision comes as campaigners try to raise awareness of the problems fake grass causes.A Twitter account called Shit Lawns,which claims to“cut through the greenwash”of artificial grass,already has more than20,000followers.It is trying to encourage people to sign two petitions,one calling for a ban on the sale of plastic grass and another calling for an “ecological damage”tax on such lawns.They have gathered7,260and11,272signatures.However,supporters of fake grass point out that there is also an environmental impact with natural lawns,which need mowing and therefore usually consume electricity or petrol.The industry also points out that real grass requires considerable amounts of water,weed killer or other treatments and that people who lay fake grass tend to use their garden more.The industry also claims that people who lay fake grass spend an average of£500on trees or shrubs for their garden, which provides habitat for insects.In response to another petition last year about banning fake lawns,which gathered30,000 signatures,the government responded that it has“no plans to ban the use of artificial grass”.It added:“We prefer to help people and organizations make the right choice rather than legislating on such matters.However,the use of artificial grass must comply with the legal and policy safeguards in place to protect biodiversity and ensure sustainable drainage,while measures such as the strengthened biodiversity duty should serve to encourage public authorities to consider sustainable alternatives.”21.The RHS thinks that plastic grass.[A]is harmful to the environment[B]is a hot topic in gardening circles[C]is overpraised in the annual show[D]is ruining the view of west London22.The petitions mentioned in para.3reveal the campaigner's.[A]disappointment with the RHS[B]resistance to fake grass use[C]anger over the proposed tax[D]concern above real grass supply23.In para4,supporters of fake grass point out that.[A]the necessity to lower the costs of fake grass[B]the disadvantages of growing real grass[C]the way to take care of artificial lawns[D]the challenges of insect habitat protection24.What would the government do with regard to artificial grass?[A]urge legislation to restrict its use[B]take measures to guarantee its quality[C]remind its users to obey existing rules[D]replace it with sustainable alternatives25.It can be learned from the text that fake grass.[A]is being improved continuously[B]has been a market share decline[C]is becoming affordable[D]has been a controversial productText2It’s easy to dismiss as absurd the Trump administration’s ideas for plugging the chronic funding gap of our national parks.Can anyone really think it’s a good idea to allow Amazon deliveries to your tent in Yosemite or food trucks to line up under the redwood trees at Sequoia National Park? But the administration is right about one thing:U.S.national parks are in crisis.Collectively, they have a maintenance backlog of more than$12billion.Roads,trails,restrooms,visitor centers and other infrastructure are crumbling.But privatizing and commercializing the campgrounds would not be the panacea that the Interior Department’s Outdoor Advisory Committee would have us believe.Campgrounds are a tiny portion of the overall infrastructure backlog,and concessionaires in the parks hand over,on average,only about5%of their revenues to the National Park Service.Moreover,increased privatization would certainly undercut one of the major reasons why300 million visitors come to the parks each year:to enjoy nature and get a respite from the commercial drumbeat that overwhelms daily life.The real problem is that the parks have been chronically starved of funding.We conducted a comprehensive survey examining how U.S.residents view their national parks,and we found that Americans place a very high value on them—whether or not they actually visit them.The peer-reviewed economic survey of700U.S.taxpayers,conducted by mail and internet,also found that people would be willing to pay a significant amount of money to make sure the parks and their programs are kept intact.Some81%of respondents said they would be willing to pay additional taxes for the next10years to avoid any cuts to the national parks.The national parks provide great value to U.S.residents both as places to escape and as symbols of nature.On top of this,they produce value from their extensive educational programs,their positive impact on the climate through carbon sequestration,their contribution to our cultural and artistic life,and of course through tourism.The parks also help keep America’s past alive, working with thousands of local jurisdictions around the country to protect historical sites—including Ellis Island and Gettysburg—and to bring the stories of these places to life.The parks do all this on a shoestring.Congress allocates only$3billion a year to the national park system—an amount that has been flat since2001(in inflation-adjusted dollars)with the exception of a onetime boost in2009as part of the Obama stimulus package.Meanwhile,the number of annual visitors has increased by more than50%since1980,and now stands at330 million visitors per year.26.What problem are U.S.national parks faced with?[A]decline of business profits[B]inadequate commercialization[C]lack of transportation services[D]poorly maintained infrastructure27.Increased privatization of the campground may?[A]spoil visitor experience[B]help preserve nature[C]bring operational pressure[D]boost visits to parks28.According to para.5,most respondents in the survey would?[A]go to the national parks on a regular basis[B]advocate a bigger budget for the national parks[C]pay extra for the national parks[D]support the national parks'recent reforms29.The national parks are valuable in that they________[A]lead the way in tourism[B]have historical significance[C]sponsor research on climate[D]provide an income for locals30.It can be concluded from the text that the national park system[A]is able to cope with shortages[B]is able to meet visitors'demand[C]is in need of a new pricing policy[D]is in need of a funding increaseText3The Internet maybe changing merely what we remember,not our capacity to do so,suggests Columbia University psychology professor Betsy Sparrow.In201,Sparrow led a study in which participants were asked to record40facts in a computer("an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain, for example).Half of the participants were told the information would be erased,while the other half were told it would be saved.Guess what?The latter group made no effort to recall the information when quizzed on it later,because they knew they could find it on their computers.In the same study,a group was asked to remember their information and the folders it was stored in. They didn't remember their information.But they remembered how to find the folders.In other words,human memory is not deteriorating but"adapting to new communications technology," Sparrow says.In a very practical way,the Internet is becoming an external hard drive for our memories,a process known as"cognitive offloading.""Traditionally,this role was fulfilled by data banks, libraries,and other humans.Your father may never remember birthdays because your mother does,for instance.Some worry that this is having a destructive effect on society,but Sparrow sees an upside.Perhaps,she suggests,the trend will change our approach to learning from a focus on individual facts and memorization to an emphasis on more conceptual thinking-something that isnot available on the Internet."I personally have never seen all that much intellectual value in memorizing things,"Sparrow says,adding that we haven't lost our ability to do it.Still,other experts say it's too soon to understand how the Internet affects our brains.There is no experimental evidence showing that it interferes with our ability to focus,for instance,wrote psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons.And surfing the web exercised the brain more than reading did among computer-save older adults in a2008study involving24participants at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California,Los Angeles.There maybe costs associated with our increased reliance on the Internet but I'd have to imagine that overall the benefits are going to outweigh those costs,observes psychology professor Benjamin Storm:'It seems pretty clear that memory is changing,but is it changing for the better? At this point,we don't know.31.Sparrow's study shows that with the Internet,the human brain will[A]analyze information in detail[B]collect information efficiently[C]switch its focus of memory[D]extend its memory duration32.The process of"cognitive offloading"[A]helps us identify false information[B]keeps our memory from failing[C]enables us to classify trivial facts[D]lessens our memory burdens33.Which of the following would Sparrow support about the Internet?[A]It may reform our way of learning[B]It may impact our society negatively[C]It may enhance our adaptability to technology[D]It may interfere with our conceptual thinking34.It is indicated in Para3that how the Internet affects our brains?[A]requires further academic research[B]is most studies in older adults[C]is reflected in our reading speed[D]depends on our web-surfing habits35.Neither Sparrow nor Storm would agree that[A]our reliance on the Internet will be costly[B]the Internet is weakening our memory[C]memory exercise is a must for our brain[D]our ability to focus decline with ageText4Teenagers are paradoxical.That's a mild and detached way of saying something that parents often express with considerably stronger language.But the paradox is scientific as well as personal.In adolescence,helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other.At the same time,once cheerful and compliant children become rebellious teenage risk-takers,often to the point of self-destruction.Accidental deaths go up dramatically in adolescence.A new study published in the journal Child Development,by Eveline Crone of the University of Leiden and colleagues,suggests that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hand. The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence.For a long time,scientists and policymakers concentrated on the idea that teenagers were a problem that needed to be solved.The new work emphasizes that adolescence is a time of opportunity as well as risk.The researchers studied“prosocial”and rebellious traits in more than200children and young adults,ranging from11to28years old.The participants filled out questionnaires about how often they did things that were altruistic and positive,like sacrificing their own interests to help a friend, or rebellious and negative,like getting drunk or staying out late.Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increases as you become a teenager and then fades away as you grow older.But the new study shows that,interestingly,the same pattern holds for prosocial behavior.Teenagers were more likely than younger children or adults to report that they did things like unselfishly help a friend.Most significantly,there was a positive correlation between prosociality and rebelliousness.The teenagers who were more rebellious were also more likely to help others.The good and bad sides of adolescence seem to develop together.Is there some common factor that underlies these apparently contradictory developments?One idea is that teenage behavior is related to what researchers call“reward sensitivity.”Decision-making always involves balancing rewards and risks,benefits and costs.“Reward sensitivity”measures how much reward it takes to outweigh risk.Teenagers are particularly sensitive to social rewards—winning the game,impressing a new friend,getting that boy to notice you.Reward sensitivity,like prosocial behavior and risk-taking, seems to go up in adolescence and then down again as we age.Somehow,when you hit30,the chance that something exciting and new will happen at that party just doesn’t seem to outweigh the effort of getting up off the couch.36.According to Paragraph1,children growing into adolescence tend to[A]develop opposite personality traits[B]see the world in an unreasonable way[C]have fond memories of the past[D]show attention for their parents37.It can be learned from Paragraph2that Crone's study[A]explores teenagers'social resposibilities[B]examines teenagers'emotional problems[C]provides a new insight into adolescence[D]highlight negative adolescent behaviour38.What does Crone's study find about prosocial behavior?[A]It results from the wish to cooperate[B]It is cultivated through education[C]It is subject to family influence[D]It tends to peak in adolescence39.It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that teenagers[A]overstress their influence on others[B]care a lot about social recognition[C]become anxious about their future[D]endeavor to live a joyful life40.What is the text mainly about?[A]why teenagers are self-contradictory[B]why teenagers are risk-sensitive[C]How teenagers develop prosociality[D]How teenagers become independentPart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each of the numbered paragraphs(41-45).There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(10points)Net-zero rules set to send cost of new homes and extensions soaringNew building regulations aimed at improving energy efficiency are set to increase the price of new homes,as well as those of extensions and loft conversions on existing ones.The rules,which came into effect on Wednesday in England,are part of government plans to reduce the UK’s carbon emissions to net zero by2050.They set new standards for ventilation, energy efficiency and heating,and state that new residential buildings must have charging points for electric vehicles.The moves are the most significant change to building regulations in years,and industry experts say they will inevitably lead to higher prices at a time when a shortage of materials and high labour costs is already driving up bills.Brian Berry,chief executive of the Federation of Master Builders,a trade group for small and medium-sized builders,says the measures will require new materials,testing methods,productsand systems to be installed.“All this comes at an increased cost during a time when prices are already sky high.Inevitably,consumers will have to pay more,”he says.Gareth Belsham,of surveyors Naismiths,says people who are upgrading,or extending their home,will be directly affected.“The biggest changes relate to heating and insulation,”he says.“There are new rules concerning the amount of glazing used in extensions,and any new windows or doors must be highly insulated.”Windows and doors will have to adhere to higher standards,while there are new limits on the amount of glazing you can have to reduce unwanted heat from the sun.Thomas Goodman,of MyJobQuote,a site which sources quotes,says this will bring in new restrictions for extensions.“Glazing on windows,doors and rooflights must cover no more than 25%of the floor area to prevent heat loss,”he says.As the rules came into effect last Wednesday,property developers were rushing to file plans just before the deadline.Any plans submitted before that date are considered to be under the previous rules,and can go ahead as long as work starts before15June next year.Builders which have costed projects,but have not filed the paperwork,may need to go back and submit fresh estimates,says Marcus Jefford of Build Aviator,which prices projects.As the changes are aimed to make homes more energy efficient,they will eventually drive down heating bills.But in the short-term homeowners are likely to face higher costs for work. Materials prices are already up25%in the last two years,according to figures from the Construction Products Association.How much overall prices will increase as a result of the rule changes is not clear.“While admirable in their intentions,they will add to the cost of housebuilding at a time when many already feel that they are priced out of homeownership,”says Rolande.“An average extension will probably see around£3,000additional cost thanks to the new regs.”John Kelly,a construction lawyer at Freeths law firm,believes prices will eventually come down.But not in the immediate future.“As the marketplace adapts to the new requirements,and the technologies that support them,the scaling up of these technologies will eventually bring costs down,but in the short term,we will all have to pay the price of the necessary transition,”he says. However,the long-term effects of the changes will be more comfortable and energy-efficient homes,adds Andrew Mellor.“Homeowners will probably recoup that cost over time in energy bill savings.It will obviously be very volatile at the moment,but they will have that benefit over time.”[A]The rise of home prices is a temporarymatter.41.Brian Berry[B]Builders possibly need to submit newestimates of their projects.42.Gareth Belsham[C]There will be specific limits on homeextensions to prevent heat loss43.Marcus Jefford[D]The new rules will take home price to aneven higher lever.44.John Kelly[E]Many people feel that home prices arealready beyond what they can afford45.Andrew Mellor[F]The new rules will affect people whosehome extensions include new windows ordoors.[G]The rule changes will benefit homeownerseventually.Section III Translation46.Directions:Translate following text into Chinese.Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.(15points) In the late18th century,William Wordsworth became famous for his poems about nature.And he was one of the founders of a movement called Romanticism,which celebrated the wonders of the natural world.Poetry is powerful.Its energy and rhythm can capture a reader,transport them to another world and make them see things differently.Through carefully selected words and phrases,poems can be dramatic,funny,beautiful,moving and inspiring.No one knows for sure when poetry began but it has been around for thousands of years,even before people could write.It was a way to tell stories and pass down history.It is closely related to song and even when written it is usually created to be performed out loud.Poems really cometo life when they are recited.This can also help with understanding them too,because the rhythm and sounds of the words become clearer.Section IV WritingPart A47.Directions:An art exhibition and a robot show are to beheld on Sunday,your friend David asks which one he should go to.Write him an email to1)make a suggestion,and2)give your reason(s)Write your answer in about100words on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your own name in your email,use Li Ming instead.(10points)Part B48.Directions:Write an essay based on the chart below.In your writing,you should1)describe and interpret the chart and2)give your comments.You should write at least150words.Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET(15points)2012-2021年我国居民健康素养水平*健康素养(health literacy)。

Answer the questions after each text by Choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points)Text 1In the quest for the perfect lawn, homeowners across the country are taking a shortcut — and it is the environment that is paying the price. About eight million square metres of plastic grass is sold each year but opposition has now spread to the highest gardening circles.The Chelsea Flower Show has banned fake grass from this year’s event, declaring it to be not part of its ethos. The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), which runs the annual show in west London, says it has introduced the ban because of the damage plastic grass does to the environment and biodiversity.Ed Horne, of the RHS, said: “We launched our sustainability strategy last year and fake grass is just not in line with our ethos and views on plastic. We recommend using real grass because of its environmental benefits, which include supporting wildlife, mitigating flooding and cooling the environment.”The RHS’s decision comes as campaigners try to raise awareness of the problems fake grass causes. A Twitter account called Shit Lawns, which claims to “cut through the greenwash” of artificial grass, already has more than 20,000 followers. It is trying to encourage people to sign two petitions, one calling for a ban on the sale of plastic grass and another calling for an “ecological damage” tax on such lawns. They have gathered 7,260 and 11,272 signatures.However, supporters of fake grass point out that there is also an environmental impact with natural lawns, which need mowing and therefore usually consume electricity or petrol. The industry also points out that real grass requires considerable amounts of water, weed killer or other treatments and that people who lay fake grass tend to use their garden more. The industry also claims that people who lay fake grass spend an average of £500 on trees or shrubs for their garden, which provides habitat for insects.In response to another petition last year about banning fake lawns, which gathered 30,000 signatures, the government responded that it has “no plans to ban the use of artificial grass”.It added: “We prefer to help people and organizations make the right choice rather than legislating on such matters. However, the use of artificial grass must comply with the legal and policy safeguards in place to protect biodiversity and ensure sustainable drainage, while measures such as the strengthened biodiversity duty should serve to encourage public authorities to consider sustainable alternatives.”21. The RHS thinks that plastic grass __________.[A] is harmful to the environment[B] is a hot topic in gardening circles[C] is overpraised in the annual show[D] is ruining the view of west London22. The petitions mentioned in para.3 reveal the campaigner's ________.[A] disappointment with the RHS[B] resistance to fake grass use[C] anger over the proposed tax[D] concern above real grass supply23. In para 4, supporters of fake grass point out that_________.[A] the necessity to lower the costs of fake grass[B] the disadvantages of growing real grass[C] the way to take care of artificial lawns[D] the challenges of insect habitat protection24. What would the government do with regard to artificial grass?[A] urge legislation to restrict its use[B] take measures to guarantee its quality[C] remind its users to obey existing rules[D] replace it with sustainable alternatives25. It can be learned from the text that fake grass ________ .[A] is being improved continuously[B] has been a market share decline[C] is becoming affordable[D] has been a controversial productText 2It’s easy to dismiss as absurd the Trump administration’s ideas for plugging the chronic funding gap of our national parks. Can anyone really think it’s a good idea to allow Amazon deliveries to your tent in Yosemite or food trucks to line up under the redwood trees at Sequoia National Park? But the administration is right about one thing: U.S. national parks are in crisis. Collectively, they have a maintenance backlog of more than $12 billion. Roads, trails, restrooms, visitor centers and other infrastructure are crumbling.But privatizing and commercializing the campgrounds would not be the panacea that the Interior Department’s Outdoor Advisory Committee would have us believe. Campgrounds are a tiny portion of the overall infrastructure backlog, and concessionaires in the parks hand over, on average, only about 5% of their revenues to the National Park Service.Moreover, increased privatization would certainly undercut one of the major reasons why 300 million visitors come to the parks each year: to enjoy nature and get a respite from the commercial drumbeat that overwhelms daily life.The real problem is that the parks have been chronically starved of funding. We conducted a comprehensive survey examining how U.S. residents view their national parks, and we found that Americans place a very high value on them — whether or not they actually visit them. The peer-reviewed economic survey of 700 U.S. taxpayers, conducted by mail and internet, also found that people would be willing to pay a significant amount of money to make sure the parks and their programs are kept intact. Some 81% of respondents said they would be willing to pay additional taxes for the next 10 years to avoid any cuts to the national parks.The national parks provide great value to U.S. residents both as places to escape and as symbols of nature. On top of this, they produce value from their extensive educational programs, their positive impact on the climate through carbon sequestration, their contribution to our cultural and artistic life, and of course through tourism. The parks also help keep America’s past alive, working with thousands of local jurisdictions around the country to protect historical sites — including Ellis Island and Gettysburg — and to bring the stories of these places to life.The parks do all this on a shoestring. Congress allocates only $3 billion a year to the national park system — an amount that has been flat since 2001 (in inflation-adjusted dollars) with the exception of a onetime boost in 2009 as part of the Obama stimulus package. Meanwhile, the number of annual visitors has increased by more than 50% since 1980, and now stands at 330 million visitors per year.26. What problem are U.S. national parks faced with?[A] decline of business profits[B] inadequate commercialization[C] lack of transportation services[D] poorly maintained infrastructure27. Increased privatization of the campground may_______?[A] spoil visitor experience[B] help preserve nature[C] bring operational pressure[D] boost visits to parks28. According to para.5, most respondents in the survey would ______?[A] go to the national parks on a regular basis[B] advocate a bigger budget for the national parks[C] pay extra for the national parks[D] support the national parks' recent reforms29. The national parks are valuable in that they________[A] lead the way in tourism[B] have historical significance[C] sponsor research on climate[D] provide an income for locals30. It can be concluded from the text that the national park system _______[A] is able to cope with shortages[B] is able to meet visitors' demand[C] is in need of a new pricing policy[D] is in need of a funding increaseText 3The Internet may be changing merely what we remember, not our capacity to do so, suggests Columbia University psychology professor Betsy Sparrow. In 201, Sparrow led a study in which participants were asked to record 40 facts in a computer ("an ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain, for example). Half of the participants were told the information would be erased, while the other half were told it would be saved. Guess what? The latter group made no effort to recall the information when quizzed on it later, because they knew they could find it on their computers. In the same study, a group was asked to remember their information and the folders it was stored in. They didn't remember their information. But they remembered how to find the folders. In other words, human memory is not deteriorating but "adapting to new communications technology," Sparrow says.In a very practical way, the Internet is becoming an external hard drive for our memories, a process known as "cognitive offloading." "Traditionally, this role was fulfilled by data banks, libraries, and other humans. Your father may never remember birthdays because your mother does, for instance. Some worry that this is having a destructive effect on society, but Sparrow sees an upside. Perhaps, she suggests, the trend will change our approach to learning from a focus on individual facts and memorization to an emphasis on more conceptual thinking -something that isnot available on the Internet." I personally have never seen all that much intellectual value in memorizing things," Sparrow says, adding that we haven't lost our ability to do it.Still, other experts say it's too soon to understand how the Internet affects our brains. There is no experimental evidence showing that it interferes with our ability to focus, for instance, wrote psychologists Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons. And surfing the web exercised the brain more than reading did among computer-save older adults in a 2008 study involving 24 participants at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at the University of California, Los Angeles.There may be costs associated with our increased reliance on the Internet but I'd have to imagine that overall the benefits are going to outweigh those costs, observes psychology professor Benjamin Storm:'It seems pretty clear that memory is changing, but is it changing for the better? At this point, we don't know.31.Sparrow's study shows that with the Internet, the human brain will ________[A] analyze information in detail[B] collect information efficiently[C] switch its focus of memory[D] extend its memory duration32.The process of "cognitive offloading"________[A] helps us identify false information[B] keeps our memory from failing[C] enables us to classify trivial facts[D] lessens our memory burdens33.Which of the following would Sparrow support about the Internet?[A] It may reform our way of learning[B] It may impact our society negatively[C] It may enhance our adaptability to technology[D] It may interfere with our conceptual thinking34. It is indicated in Para 3 that how the Internet affects our brains?[A] requires further academic research[B] is most studies in older adults[C] is reflected in our reading speed[D] depends on our web-surfing habits35. Neither Sparrow nor Storm would agree that ________[A] our reliance on the Internet will be costly[B] the Internet is weakening our memory[C] memory exercise is a must for our brain[D] our ability to focus decline with ageText 4Teenagers are paradoxical. That's a mild and detached way of saying something that parents often express with considerably stronger language. But the paradox is scientific as well as personal. In adolescence, helpless and dependent children who have relied on grown-ups for just about everything become independent people who can take care of themselves and help each other. At the same time, once cheerful and compliant children become rebellious teenage risk-takers, often to the point of self-destruction. Accidental deaths go up dramatically in adolescence.A new study published in the journal Child Development, by Eveline Crone of the University of Leiden and colleagues, suggests that the positive and negative sides of teenagers go hand in hand. The study is part of a new wave of thinking about adolescence. For a long time, scientists and policymakers concentrated on the idea that teenagers were a problem that needed to be solved. The new work emphasizes that adolescence is a time of opportunity as well as risk.The researchers studied “prosocial” and rebellious traits in more than 200 children and young adults, ranging from 11 to 28 years old. The participants filled out questionnaires about how often they did things that were altruistic and positive, like sacrificing their own interests to help a friend, or rebellious and negative, like getting drunk or staying out late. Other studies have shown that rebellious behavior increases as you become a teenager and then fades away as you grow older. But the new study shows that, interestingly, the same pattern holds for prosocial behavior. Teenagers were more likely than younger children or adults to report that they did things like unselfishly help a friend.Most significantly, there was a positive correlation between prosociality and rebelliousness. The teenagers who were more rebellious were also more likely to help others. The good and bad sides of adolescence seem to develop together.Is there some common factor that underlies these apparently contradictory developments? One idea is that teenage behavior is related to what researchers call “reward sensitivity.”Decision-making always involves balancing rewards and risks, benefits and costs. “Reward sensitivity” measures how much reward it takes to outweigh risk.Teenagers are particularly sensitive to social rewards—winning the game, impressing a new friend, getting that boy to notice you. Reward sensitivity, like prosocial behavior and risk-taking, seems to go up in adolescence and then down again as we age. Somehow, when you hit 30, the chance that something exciting and new will happen at that party just doesn’t seem to outweigh the effort of getting up off the couch.36.According to Paragraph 1, children growing into adolescence tend to ______[A] develop opposite personality traits[B] see the world in an unreasonable way[C] have fond memories of the past[D] show attention for their parents37.It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that Crone's study[A] explores teenagers' social resposibilities[B] examines teenagers' emotional problems[C] provides a new insight into adolescence[D] highlight negative adolescent behaviour38.What does Crone's study find about prosocial behavior?[A] It results from the wish to cooperate[B] It is cultivated through education[C] It is subject to family influence[D] It tends to peak in adolescence39.It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that teenagers ______[A] overstress their influence on others[B] care a lot about social recognition[C] become anxious about their future[D] endeavor to live a joyful life40. What is the text mainly about?[A] why teenagers are self-contradictory[B] why teenagers are risk-sensitive[C] How teenagers develop prosociality[D] How teenagers become independentPart BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A-G for each of the numbered paragraphs (41-45). There are two extra subheadings which you do not need to use. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)Net-zero rules set to send cost of new homes and extensions soaringNew building regulations aimed at improving energy efficiency are set to increase the price of new homes, as well as those of extensions and loft conversions on existing ones.The rules, which came into effect on Wednesday in England, are part of government plans to reduce the UK’s carbon emissions to net zero by 2050. They set new standards for ventilation, energy efficiency and heating, and state that new residential buildings must have charging points for electric vehicles.The moves are the most significant change to building regulations in years, and industry experts say they will inevitably lead to higher prices at a time when a shortage of materials and high labour costs is already driving up bills.Brian Berry, chief executive of the Federation of Master Builders, a trade group for small and medium-sized builders, says the measures will require new materials, testing methods, productsand systems to be installed. “All this comes at an increased cost during a time when prices are already sky high. Inevitably, consumers will have to pay more,” he says.Gareth Belsham, of surveyors Naismiths, says people who are upgrading, or extending their home, will be directly affected.“The biggest changes relate to heating and insulation,” he says. “There are new rules concerning the amount of glazing used in extensions, and any new windows or doors must be highly insulated.”Windows and doors will have to adhere to higher standards, while there are new limits on the amount of glazing you can have to reduce unwanted heat from the sun.Thomas Goodman, of MyJobQuote, a site which sources quotes, says this will bring in new restrictions for extensions.“Glazing on windows, doors and rooflights must cover no more than 25% of the floor area to prevent heat loss, ” he says.As the rules came into effect last Wednesday, property developers were rushing to file plans just before the deadline. Any plans submitted before that date are considered to be under the previous rules, and can go ahead as long as work starts before 15 June next year.Builders which have costed projects, but have not filed the paperwork, may need to go back and submit fresh estimates, says Marcus Jefford of Build Aviator, which prices projects.As the changes are aimed to make homes more energy efficient, they will eventually drive down heating bills. But in the short-term homeowners are likely to face higher costs for work. Materials prices are already up 25% in the last two years, according to figures from the Construction Products Association. How much overall prices will increase as a result of the rule changes is not clear. “While admirable in their intentions, they will add to the cost of housebuilding at a time when many already feel that they are priced out of homeownership,” says Rolande. “An average extension will probably see around £3,000 additional cost thanks to the new regs.”John Kelly, a construction lawyer at Freeths law firm, believes prices will eventually come down. But not in the immediate future. “As the marketplace adapts to the new requirements, and the technologies that support them, the scaling up of these technologies will eventually bring costs down, but in the short term, we will all have to pay the price of the necessary transition,” he says. However, the long-term effects of the changes will be more comfortable and energy-efficient homes, adds Andrew Mellor. “Homeowners will probably recoup that cost over time in energy bill savings. It will obviously be very volatile at the moment, but they will have that benefit over time.”[A] The rise of home prices is a temporarymatter.41.Brian Berry [B] Builders possibly need to submit newestimates of their projects.42.Gareth Belsham [C] There will be specific limits on homeextensions to prevent heat loss43.Marcus Jefford [D] The new rules will take home price to aneven higher lever.44.John Kelly [E] Many people feel that home prices arealready beyond what they can afford45.Andrew Mellor [F] The new rules will affect people whosehome extensions include new windows ordoors.[G] The rule changes will benefit homeownerseventually.【参考答案】41.D42.F43.B44.A45.GSection III Translation46.

And he was one of the founders of a movement called Romanticism, which celebrated the wonders of the natural world.Poetry is powerful. Its energy and rhythm can capture a reader, transport them to another world and make them see things differently. Through carefully selected words and phrases, poems can be dramatic, funny, beautiful, moving and inspiring.No one knows for sure when poetry began but it has been around for thousands of years, even before people could write. It was a way to tell stories and pass down history. It is closely related to song and even when written it is usually created to be performed out loud. Poems really cometo life when they are recited. This can also help with understanding them too, because the rhythm and sounds of the words become clearer.【参考译文】18世纪晚期,威廉·华兹华斯因其关于自然的诗歌而闻名。

事实上,为保险起见,很多基础较好的考生也选择了本书,以求能取得新的突破。

Top 2: 《考研英语二历年真题老蒋详解》
推荐指数:★★★★☆
书籍定位:考研英语二基础较好的考生专用
小结:考研英语二真题《考研英语二历年真题老蒋详解》答案详解册又按题型分为三个分册,不方便考生深入研究一整套试题;此外,书中仅详细讲解了编者认为的难句,而没有挑选的句子可能也是考生所不能理解的,所以,这本书不适合基础较差的考生使用。

基础较好的考生可以考虑。

Top 3:《历年考研英语二真题解析及复习思路》
推荐指数:★★★★☆
书籍定位:考研英语二考生基础较好的考生专用
书籍分析:
小结:考研英语二真题《历年考研英语二真题解析及复习思路》为试卷版图书,方便考生根据复习进度进行携带;这本书重在分析语篇逻辑,对文章中的重点大纲词汇和长句、难句的讲解不到位,考生可能读懂了文章,但却不会做题;虽然记住了单词,但却不会使用该单词。

所以,从根本上讲,这本书不适合需要打基础的考生或基础较差的考生使用。

Top 4: 《考研英语二真题汇编王》
推荐指数:★★★★☆
书籍定位:了解真题全貌专用;反复自测真练、查漏补缺专用,刷题专用

Top 5: 《于慧考研英语二历年真题句句详解》
推荐指数:★★★☆☆
书籍定位:专为懒人而著
书籍分析:
优:
①分册装订,讲解详细;
②从词汇到句法,再到翻译技巧均有涉及;
③答案讲解较为详细。

劣:
①书籍排版较乱,字号太小;
②词汇分册中单词的选择不合理,且词义注释较多,无例句,不方便考生实际应用;
③句子图解中存在个别语法错误。

小结:考研英语二真题《于慧考研英语二历年真题句句详解》讲解细致,但对单词的选择不到位,词汇注解仅注释词义,没有例句;全解部分直接在文章每一行的下方注释单词词义,容易使考生在整体理解英文时分散思维,不利于考试;书籍存在部分语法错误,此外,书籍排版较乱,字号较小,不方便阅读。

基础较弱的考生可以考虑使用。

但本人更倾向于《考研圣经》,大家可以自行对比,选择适合自己的图书。
