2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(四)及答案:法学类

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(四)及答案:法学类 The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems , and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As on Norwegian politician said last week : “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”Ever since the war , the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success : Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university , a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south , and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north , however. With nearly 100 percent employment , everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population , but they are an important part of it , because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.1.The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to[A] provide more jobs for foreign workers.[B] slow down the rate of its development.[C] sell the oil it is producing abroad.[D] develop more quickly than at present.2.The Norwegian Government has tried to[A] encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources.[B] prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway.[C] help the oil companies solve many of their problems.[D] keep the oil industry to something near its present size.3.According to the passage , the oil industry might lead northern Norway to[A] the development of industry.[B] a growth in population.[C] the failure of the development programme.[D] the development of new towns.4.In the south , one effect to the development of the oil industry might be[A] a large reduction on unemployment.[B] a growth in the tourist industry.[C] a reduction in the number of existing industries.[D] the development of a number of service industries.5.Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because[A] they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal.[B] their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal.[C] their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society.[D] they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life.Vocabulary1.Norwegian 挪威的;挪威人2.coastline 海岸线3.recognition 承认;认识;赞赏4.countryside 乡下;乡民难句译注1.A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers.【结构简析】用两个分号连接三句句子。

Text 1A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys. People art actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people's cortisol , which is it at stress marker,while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge.“Further contradicting conventional wisdom,we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske,In fact women say they feel better a t wor k. She notes. “it is men not women. Who report being happier at home than at work,” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children without,but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health.What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they' re at home,whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men,the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles, and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women,it' s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it's not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty muchknow what they're supposed to be doing:working,making money,doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure:Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola.On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done,there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor; they need to be talked into it, or if they' re teenagers,threatened with complete removal of all electronic devices. Plus, they' re your family. You cannot fire your family. You never really get to go home from home.So it's not surprising that people are more stressed at home. Not only are the tasks apparently infinite, the co-workers are much harder to motivate.21.According to Paragraph 1,most previous surveys found that home ______.[A]was an unrealistic place for relaxation[B]generated more stress than the workplace[C]was an ideal place for stress measurement[D]offered greater relaxation than the workplace22.According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?[A]Working mothers[B]Childless husbands[C] Childless wives[D]Working fathers23 The blurring of working women's roles refers to the factthat ______.[A]they are both bread winners and housewives[B]their home is also a place for kicking back[C]there is often much housework left behind[D]it is difficult for them to leave their office24.The word“moola”(Line 4,Para 4)most probably means ______.[A]energy[B]skills[C]earnings[D]nutrition25.The home front differs from the workplace in that ______.[A]home is hardly a cozier working environment[B]division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut[C]household tasks are generally more motivating[D]family labor is often adequately rewarded【参考答案】21. D 22. B 23. A 24. C 25. B【主要内容】本文主要讲述工作环境压力问题。

2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析

2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析

2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析2017年考研英语考试已经结束!店铺考研网在考后第一时间为大家提供2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析,更多考研资讯请关注我们网站的更新!2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析大家也做了题,也发现今年题目并没有传说中那么难,四篇阅读理解前面三篇中等,不是很难。

第四篇和法律有关的文章大家觉得有点难度。

我今年也去考试了,这就是我的证据。

但是我的反面抄了一些答案,当然有些监考不让抄答案,我很潦草地抄了一些,想看它的难度和我们平常所学的能否挂钩。

前三篇不难,第四篇难度和法律相关,有点像2013年的地四篇文章。

其实这篇文章我刚才查了一下原版出处是CNN里的,推翻了弗吉尼亚前州长贪污罪,他是无辜的。

都是英国美国文章居多。

美国有三篇文章。

第一篇是美国机场安检特别浪费时间。

今年特点是有七八个自然段,不是往年一样四五个自然段。

第一道题,这是一个力争题,往年考题也这么说,通过所谓关键词定位方法无效,一定要把握主要内容是讲什么。

这是讲我们目前为什么有必要进行严格的安全检查。

因为埃及航空公司受到了恐怖袭击,在地中海上空受到恐怖主义袭击。

所以现在要严格安检。

这道词选解释作用。

第二题是上面哪个能够解释为什么美国机场排队队伍很长很长。

这道题文章里给了好几个解释。

第一个原因是因为我们现在经济比较好,机票比较便宜,所以很多人愿意排队。

大家都愿意坐飞机,不愿意开车、不愿意坐火车。

导致排队队伍很长。

第二个原因是有些人要打包,第三段里说的,包裹需要检查,有些人打了好多包,为了逃避托运费。

导致排队比较长。

还有一个这里所说的安检效率降低。

但是我们按照前面的最重要的原因,还是因为美国政府没有注意到现在出行坐飞机的人增多了,导致速度减慢。

这是我们飞机出行人员增加。

23题是猜词题,我们不管上基础课、强化课还是单向课,有我的模糊阅读班,猜词题不能相信所谓构词法,按照EX这个单词是出去的意思。

这里EX给人错觉是出去的意思,但是根据上下文是希望安检越快越好。

It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of ment and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature article and interviews tocriticism of books, art, theater, and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never pletely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out, glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any one reader is interested in. What bring this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性),its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now. But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的)value. For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper: what each person does is to put togetherout of the pages of that day’s paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.1. A modern paper is remarkable for all the following expect its .A. wide coverageB. uniform styleC. speed in reporting newsD. popularity[答案]B【精析】文中第一段第二句话"It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sports to business to fashion to science, and the range of ment and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature article and interviews to criticism of books, art, theater, and music.提到的是A项的内容,即wide coverage;第四句话A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers…吻合了popularity的特点;第五句...its topicality提醒了其speed in…(C项)的特点,只有B项文中未表达。

OnePart ADirections:Read the following four texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1Not long after the telephone was invented,I assume,a call was placed.The caller was a parent saying,“your child is bullying my child,and I want it stopped!”The bully's parent replied,“you must have the wrong number.My child is a little angel.”A trillion phone calls later,the conversation is the same.When children are teased or tyrannized,the parental impulse is to grab the phone and rant.But these days,as studies in the U.S.show bullying on the rise and parental supervision on the decline,researchers who study bullying say that calling moms and dads is more futile than ever.Such calls often lead to playground recriminations and don't really teach our kids any lessons about how to navigate the world and resolve conflicts.When you call parents,you want them to“extract the cruelty”from their bullying children,says Laura Kavesh,a child psychologist in Evanston,Illinois.“But many parents are blown away by the idea of their child being cruel.They won t believe it.”In a recent police department survey in Oak Harbor,Washington,89%of local high school students said they had engaged in bullying behavior.Yet only18%of parents thought their children would act as bullies.In a new U.S.PTA survey,5%of parents support contacting other parents to deal with bullying.But many educators warn that those conversations can be misinterpreted,causing tempers to flare.Instead,they say,parents should get objective outsiders,like principals,to mediate.Meanwhile,if you get a call from a parent who is angry about your child's bullying,listen without getting defensive.That's what Laura McHugh of Castro Valley,California,did when a caller told her that her then13-year-old son had spit in another boy's food.Her son had confessed,but the victim's mom“wanted to make sure my son hadn't given her son a nasty disease,”says McHugh,who apologized and promised to get her son tested for AIDS and other diseases.She knew the chance of contracting any disease this way was remote,but her promise calmed the mother and showed McHugh's son that his bad behaviour was being taken seriously.McHugh,founder of Parents Coach Kids,a group that teaches parenting skills, sent the mom the test results.All were negative.Remember:once you make a call,you might not like what you hear.If you have an itchy dialing finger,resist temptation.Put it in your pocket.[419words]1.The word“bullying”probably

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(二十)及答案:法学类

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(二十)及答案:法学类 The existence of both racial and sexual discrimination in employment is well documented ,and policymakers and responsible employers are particularly sensitive to the plight of the black female employee on the theory that she isdoubly the victim of discrimination.That there exist differences in income between whites and blacks is clear ,but it is not so clear that these differences are solely the result of racial discrimination in employment.The two groups differ in productivity ,so basic economics dictates that their incomes will differ.To obtain a true measure of the effect of racial discrimination in employment it is necessary to adjust the gross black/white income ratio for these productivity factors.White women in urban areas have a higher educational level than black women and can be expected to receive larger incomes.Moreover ,State distribution of residence is important because blacks are overrepresented in the South ,where wage rates are typically lower than elsewhere and where racial differentials inincome are greater.Also ,blacks are over-represented in large cities ,and incomes of blacks would be greater if blacks were distributed among cities of different sizes in the same manner as whites.After standardization for the productivity factors ,the income of black urban women is estimated to be between 108 and 125 percent of the income of white women.This indicates that productivity factors more than account for the actualwhite/black income differential for women.Despite their greater education ,white women’s actual average income is only 2 to 5 percent higher than that of black women in the North.Unlike the situation of men ,the evidence indicates that the money income of black urban women was as great as ,or greater than ,that of whites of similar productivity in the North ,and probably in the United States as a whole.At least two possible hypotheses may explain why the adjustment forproductivity more than accounts for the observed income differential forwomen.First ,there may be more discrimination against black men than against black women.The different occupational structures for men and women give some indication why this could be the case.Second ,the data are consistent with the hypothesis that the intensity of discrimination against women differs little between whites and blacks.Therefore ,racial discrimination adds little to effects of existing sex discrimination.These findings suggest that a black woman does not necessarily suffer relatively more discrimination in the labor market than does a whitewoman.Rather ,for women ,the effects of sexual discrimination are so pervasive that the effects of racial discrimination are negligible.1.The primary purpose of the passage is to____.[A] explain the reasons for the existence of income differentials between men and women[B] show that racial discrimination against black women in employment is less important than sexual discrimination[C] explore the ways in which productivity factors influence the earning power of black workers[D] sketch a history of racial and sexual discrimination against black and female workers in the labor market2.The difference between income levels for black and white women is____.[A] less than that for black and white men[B] greater than that for black and white men[C] greater since black women are subject to more discrimination[D] smaller since women can only do low-paying jobs3.Which of the following best describes the logical relationship between the two hypotheses presented in the fourth paragraph?[A] They may both be true since each phenomenon could contribute to the observed differential.[B] They are contradictory ,and if one is proved to be correct ,the other is proved incorrect.[C] They are independent of each other ,and it is hard to establish anyrelationship between them.[D] The two hypotheses are logically connected so that it is impossible to prove either one to be true without also proving the other to be true.4.If the second hypothesis mentioned by the author is correct ,a general lessening of discrimination against women should lead to a(n) ____.[A] higher white/black income ratio for women[B] lower white/black income ratio for women[C] lower female/male income ratio[D] increase in the productivity of women5.The author’s attitude toward racial and sexual discrimination inemployment is one of____.[A] apology[B] concern[C] indifference[D] indignation参考答案:1.[B] 文章最后一段是作者的结论,这段提到两个假设,一是对男性黑人的歧视可能比对女性黑人的歧视更严重;二是对妇女的歧视在黑人和白人之间没有多大区别。

考研英语历年英语阅读真题及答案(2017)

引导语:为了帮助⼤家更好地准备考研,以下是百分⽹店铺为⼤家整理的2017考研英语⼀阅读真题及答案,欢迎阅读! Section II Reading Comprehension Part A Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (40 points) Text 1 First two hours , now three hours—this is how far in advance authorities are recommending people show up to catch a domestic flight , at least at some major U.S. airports with increasingly massive security lines. Americans are willing to tolerate time-consuming security procedures in return for increased safety. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804,which terrorists may have downed over the Mediterranean Sea ,provides another tragic reminder of why. But demanding too much of air travelers or providing too little security in return undermines public support for the process. And it should: Wasted time is a drag on Americans’ economic and private lives, not to mention infuriating. Last year, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) found in a secret check that undercover investigators were able to sneak weapons---both fake and real—past airport security nearly every time they tried .Enhanced security measures since then, combined with a rise in airline travel due to the improving Chicago’s O’Hare International .It is not yet clear how much more effective airline security has become—but the lines are obvious. Part of the issue is that the government did not anticipate the steep increase in airline travel , so the TSA is now rushing to get new screeners on the line. Part of the issue is that airports have only so much room for screening lanes. Another factor may be that more people are trying to overpack their carry-on bags to avoid checked-baggage fees, though the airlines strongly dispute this. There is one step the TSA could take that would not require remodeling airports or rushing to hire: Enroll more people in the PreCheck program. PreCheck is supposed to be a win-win for travelers and the TSA. Passengers who pass a background check are eligible to use expedited screening lanes. This allows the TSA wants to enroll 25 million people in PreCheck. It has not gotten anywhere close to that, and one big reason is sticker shock. Passengers must pay $85 every five years to process their background checks. Since the beginning, this price tag has been PreCheck’s fatal flaw. Upcoming reforms might bring the price to a more reasonable level. But Congress should look into doing so directly, by helping to finance PreCheck enrollment or to cut costs in other ways. The TSA cannot continue diverting resources into underused PreCheck lanes while most of the traveling public suffers in unnecessary lines. It is long past time to make the program work. 21. The crash of Egypt Air Flight 804 is mentioned to______. [A] stress the urgency to strengthen security worldwide [B] explain American’s tolerance of current security checks [C] highlight the necessity of upgrading major U.S. Airports [D] emphasize the importance of privacy protection 【答案】B 【解析】答案为B。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练:法学类(22)Few lawyers did more to help George W. Bush become president than Barry Richard. As Bush's quarterback in the Florida courts during last fall's bruising recount,the white-maned Tallahassee,Fla.,litigator became a familiar figure to TV audiences. He got the GOP equivalent of rock-star treatment when he came to Washington last January for Bush's Inauguration. At one ball,recalls law partner Fred Baggett,a heavyset Texas woman lifted Richard off the floor and planted a big kiss on his cheek,exclaiming,“I love you for giving us our president!”But Richard has discovered that the Bushies' gratitude has its limits. More than four months after the U.S. Supreme Court ended the 2000 election,he and his firm,Greenberg Traurig,are still owed more than $800,000 in legal fees. The firm,which sent 39 lawyers and 13 paralegals into court battles all over the state,is one of a dozen that have so far been stiffed. The estimated total tab:more than $2 million. The situation,NEWSWEEK has learned,has gotten increasingly sticky. While lawyers complain privately about foot dragging (Richard says he's not among them),Bush advisers are griping about “astronomical”bills——including one from a litigator who charged for more than 24 hours of work in a single day. “What you've got here is a bunch of rich lawyers bellyaching,”says one former Bush campaign official. “Yet these guys got huge in-kind contributions to their reputations out of this.”The lawyers were supposed to get their money from the Bush Recount Committee, a fund-raising vehicle set up when the Florida fight began. A nebulous entity not legally required to disclose how it spent its money,the committee and its chief fund-raiser,Texas oilman (and now Commerce secretary) Don Evans,swiftly collected $8.3 million——more than twice the $3.9 million Al Gore's recount committee raised to pay its lawyers. To avoid charges that the recount was being bankrolled by special interests,the Bushies imposed a $5,000 cap on individual donations,a PR gesture they now regret. After paying off caterers,air charters and the army of GOP Hill types who came to Florida as “observers,”the “kitty ran dry,”says one source.The Bush camp says it intends to pay up. But Ben Ginsberg,the former chief campaign counsel who has inherited the mess,hasn't yet figured out how. As for the law firms,they are taking pains not to alienate their deadbeat clients,for fear of damaging their burgeoning Washington lobbying practices. Greenberg Traurig now represents electric power companies,drug manufacturers and Internet gambling interests willing to pay big money for access to policymakers.

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练:法学类(11)Since 1975 advocates of humane treatment of animals have broadened their goals to oppose the use of animals for fur,leather,wool and food.They have moaned protests against all forms of hunting and the trapping of animals in the wild.And they have joined environmentalists in urging protection of natural habitats from commercial or residential development.The occasion for these added emphases was the publication in 1975 of Animal Liberation:A New Ethics for Our Treatment ofAnimals by Peter Singer,formerly a professor ofphUosophy at Oxford University in England.This book gave a new impetus to the animal rights movement.The post 1 975 animal rights activists are far more vocal than theirpredecessors,and the organizations to which they belong are generally more radical.Many new organizations are formed.The tactics of the activists are designed to catch the attention of the public.Since the mid 1 980s there have been frequent newsreports about animal rights organizations picketing stores that sell furs,harassing hunters in the wild,or breaking into laboratories to free animals.Some of the more extreme organizations advocate the use of assault,armed terrorism,and death threats to make their point.Aside from making isolated attacks on people who wear fur coats or trying to prevent hunters from killing animals,most of the organizations have directed their tactics at institutions.The results of the protests and other tactics have been panies are reducing reliance on animal testing.Medical research has been somewhat curtailed by legal restrictions and the reluctance of younger workers to use animals in research.New tests have been developed to replace the use of animals.Some well—known designers have stopped using fur.While the general public tends to agree that animals should be treated humanely,most people are unlikely to give up eating meat or wearing goods made from leather and wool. Giving up genuine fur has become less of a problem,since fibers used to makefake fur such as the Japanese invention Kanecaron can look almost identical to real fur.Some of the strongest opposition to the animal rights movement has come from hunters and their organizations.But animal rights activists have succeeded in marshaling public opinion to press for state restrictions on hunting in several parts of the nation.1.1 975 was an important year in the history of animal treatment because[A]many people began to call for humane treatment of animals that year[B]a new book was published that broadened the animal rights movement[C]the environmentalists began to show interest in animal protection[D]the trapping of animals began to go wild all through the world2.Some animal rights organizations advocate the use of extreme means in order to[A]wipe out cruel people [B]stop using animals in the laboratory[C]attack hunters in the wild [D]catch full public attention3.By saying“the results ofthe protests and other tactics have been mixed”(Line 1,Para.3),the author means[A]the protest and other tactics have produced desired effects[B]the protest and other tactics almost amounted to nothing[C]the protest and other tactics have some influence on the public[D]the protest and other tactics have proved to be too radical4.The word“marshaling”(Line 5,Para.4)probably means[A]conducting [B]popularizing [C]changing [D]outraging5.It seems that the author ofthis article[A]is strongly opposed to the animal rights movement[B]is in favor ofthe animal rights movement[C]supports the use of violence in animal protection[D]hatestheuse offakefurfor clothes核心词汇advocate n.提倡者philosophy n.哲学predecessor n.前辈tactics n.策略identical adj.同样的oppose vt.反对impetus.促进radicaladj.激进的reliance n.依赖publication .出版vocaladj.有声的assault n.攻击fake adj.假的号召人道对待动物的倡导者们从1975年起将自己的目标扩大到反对利用动物来获取毛皮、皮革、毛织品和食品的行为。

考研英语阅读理解模拟题及答案:法学类(25套) Vicious and Dangerous Sports Should be Banned by LawWhen you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made, it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans because they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despise them because they mistook these goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly because they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest? Don’t the spectators who attend them hope they will see some violence? Human beings remains as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourselves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungey lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings or bearbaiting.It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourselves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’ is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports because of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to see violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment because they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture and violence.Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himself spiritually and emotionally - admittedly with little success. But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, or public floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they used to be. Social welfaresystems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. These changes have come about not because human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but because positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.1. It can be inferred from the passage that the author’s opinion of nowadays’human beings isA. not very high.B. high.C. contemptuous.D. critical.2. The main idea of this passage isA. vicious and dangerous sports should be banned by law.B. people are willing to pay vast sums money to see violence.C. to compare two different attitudes towards dangerous sports.D. people are bloodthirsty in sports.3. That the author mentions the old Romans isA. To compare the old Romans with today’s people.B. to give an example.C. to show human beings in the past know nothing better.D. to indicate human beings are used to bloodthirsty.4. How many dangerous sports does the author mention in this passage?A. Three.B. Five.C. Six.D. Seven.5. The purpose of the author in writing this passage isA. that, by banning the violent sports, we human beings can improve our selves.B. that, by banning the dangerous sports, we can improve the law.C. that we must take positive steps to improve social welfare system.D. to show law is the main instrument of social change.Vocabulary1.relish 从……获得乐处,享受y 狂欢,放纵3.arena 竞技场,活动或斗争的场所4.blood-thirsty 残忍的,嗜血的5.bear-baiting 逗熊游戏6.bull-fight 斗牛7.batter 猛击,连续地猛打/捶,乱打8.pulp 成纸浆,成软块9.burst into flames 突然燃烧起来/着火10.grim 令人窒息的,简陋的11.coop up 把……关起来写作方法与文章大意作者采取先对比、后分析的写作手法。

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(六)及答案:法学类

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(六)及答案:法学类

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(六)及答案:法学类 On Tuesday evening , the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act on a voice vote. This is a simple , three-paragraph bill that would codify , for federal law purposes , the traditional definition of “born alive.” Specifically , under the bill , the terms “person,” “human being,” “child” and “individual,” whenever they appear in federal laws or regulations, will be construed to include “every infant member of the species homo sapiens who is born alive.” The term “born alive” is then defined as “complete expulsion or extraction from his or her mother ,” followed by a heartbeat, respiration , or movement of voluntary muscles.This is the legal definition already incorporateed in the laws of most states.At 7:39 p.m. Tuesday , the Associated Press bureau in Washington sent out a dispatch that began , “The House voted Tuesday to define a fetus that is fully outside a woman‘s body as having been ’born alive,‘ which would give the fetus full legal protection.” The term “fetus” was employed repeatedlythroughout the rest of the dispatch.Quickly , I and at least one other reader pointed out to the AP editor on duty that “fetus” is not an appropriate or accurate term to apply to a human infant who is entirely born and alive. If an infant is born alive prematurely , then the proper term would be “premature infant” or “premature baby,”not “fetus.” Sometimesinduction of labor is used as a method of abortion , and sometimes this results in a live birth. This is sometimes referred to as a “live birth abortion.” On occasion, other abortion methods also result in live births. But a premature infant is apremature infant —and a legally protected person —regardless of how he or she reached that state.Regrettably , the AP did not correct its error. Instead AP editors compounded the original error bytransmitting updates that contained this statement : “The legislation is aimed at an abortion procedure critics call ‘pa rtial-birth’ in which a fetus is partiallydelivered before being destroyed. Thirty states and the District of Columbia already have laws against the procedure.”In fact , the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act does not restrict partial-birth abortion. In a partial-birthabortion , the fetus/baby is mostly delivered but the head remains in the womb while the skull is punctured —hence the name , PARTIAL-birth.The fetus/baby destroyed in a PARTIAL-birth abortion has not achieved the“complete extraction or expulsion from his or her mother” required to be “born alive”under H.R. 2175. Moreover, the laws that the AP refers to are laws that define “live birth,” not laws restricting partial -birth abortion. According to the House Judiciary subcommittee that H.R. 2175 ha ve codified the definition of “livebirth” for their state -law purposes , and of these , 30 states and D.C. have codified definitions virtually identical tothose contained in H.R. 2175. (D.C. has never enacted a restriction on partial-birth abortion.)Reading Comprehension1. What does the first paragraph mainly talk about?[A] A new bill has been passed by the Home.[B] The bill would be codified.[C] The term “born alive” has a new definition.[D] There are many debates about the bill.2. What did the author probably mean by his saying , “This is the legal definition already incorporated in the laws of most states.”?[A] The bill should come earlier.[B] A lot of states have already adopted the definition in their laws.[C] It will affect the federal laws.[D] Both B and C.3. Read paragraph 4 carefully and then point out that why did the author think that “fetus” is not a fitted word to describe that especially situation?[A] An infant is alive but a fetus is not.[B] The word “fetus” is not an accurate ter m.[C] When you use the word “fetus”, there is something discrimination in your talk.[D] “Fetus” is not considered as a real person but when you use the word “infant” to describe someone he or she is a real one who alive.4. According to your understanding , what does partial-birth mean?[A] It indicated the situation that an infant was failed to born.[B] A method of abortion.[C] An unsuccessful born of a child.[D] Dystocia.5. What did the Associated Press think about the live-born human infant ?[A] They thought that the live-born human infant was still a fetus.[B] They didn‘t think that the live -born human infant was still a fetus.[C] They have no idea about the definition of a live-born human infant.[D] They thought it was bloody to use the partial-born method to the fetus. 答案与题解1. [C] 仔细阅读文中第一段可以发现,该段讲述国会通过新法案重点是从法案的影响上来谈的。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练:法学类(14)One of the most exciting and enriching experiences a person can have is that of living abroad.Whether one spends a year away or many,living abroad is the first opportunity one has to stand on the outside of one‘s country and look in,to compare cultures,procedures,mentalities,etc.We’in the U.S.A.do very little REAL travelling abroad,much less living,and this bent toward isolation is probably detrimental to us in the long run.Living abroad,however,works better when it is a choice and not an obligation.I know of several cases in which a few people were persuaded by others that the solutions to their domestic problems lay in living abroad.In these cases,it was the wrong advice.These people were,for the most part,like fish out of the bowl and overall,everything went wrong and only a few things right.What country and what part of the world should one choose ? Here,personal interests and/or curiosity enter the picture.Additionally,one need not think in terms of a single country but two or three.It is easier.of course,to get in and out of a“Western World”or“Christian”country since these usually share our sense of values,also,a country traditionally and firmly considered a political ally is an option.such as Japan.Even it is fairly“westernized”。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练:法学类(6)For hundreds of years,the criminal law has been built around the idea that wrongdoers must be punished for their crimes.The most basic argument for punishment is that it preserves law and order and respects for authority.From this point of view,punishment does two things.It upholds the law,and it prevents others from thinking they can get away with doing the same thing without punishment.Punishment is based on the idea that many people have a barely controlled desire to act in forbidden ways.One of the best ways to reduce crime is to reform or rehabilitate habitual criminals.The main problem is not the first offender or the petty thief but the repeated offender who commits increasingly serious crimes.According to criminologists,crime would decrease greatly if all such offenders could be turned away from wrongdoing.But U.S.prisons have had little success in rehabilitating inmates.About two-thirds of the people arrested in any year have a previous criminal record.Rehabilitation of criminals could probably be improved greatly if experts could provide the right kind of program for different types of offenders.Criminals vary widely in the kinds of crimes they commit,their emotional problems,and their social and economic backgrounds.Not all offenders can be helped by the same treatment.Many require the aid of physicians,psychiatrists,or psychologists.Others respond well to educational or vocational training.In the early 1990s,there were about 1,300,000 criminals in U.S.city,county,state,and federal correctional institutions,and about 500,000 more were out on parole.Society spent more than $15 billion to operate prisons and related institutions yearly,but only a small part of this sum went to provide treatment.Nearly all the funds were used to feed and clothe prisoners and to keep them under control.Since the 1ate 1970s,however,there has been a trend toward punishment rather than rehabilitation of offenders.Prison sentences are longer.Capital punishments have been used more frequently since the U.S.Supreme Court lifted a death penalty ban in 1976.Nevertheless,crime prevention should aim to prevent people from becoming criminals in the first place.Such a goal probably would benefit from reform programs in urban slums.These programs would include improved housing,schools,and recreation programs and increased job opportunities.There are many other ways to reduce crime.People can be educated or persuaded to take greater precautions against crime.They can be taught,for example,how to protect their homes from burglary.Automobile thefts would drop sharply if drivers removed their keys and locked their cars when leaving them.Better lighting helps discourage purse-snatchings and other robberies on city streets and in parks.Many experts believe that strict gun-licensing laws would greatly reduce crime.1.The belief that people tend to behave in forbidden ways____.[A] leads to the formulation of the criminal law[B] makes people value order above all else[C] convinces people that crimes should be eliminated from the society[D]is a false one that should not be taken seriously2.In the second paragraph the author implies____.[A] the U.S.prison system is not working effectively enough to reform criminals[B] the best way to reduce crime rate is to rehabilitate habitual criminals[C] reforming criminals in prison will turn them away from wrongdoing[D] crimes would decrease if people‘s desire could be healthily channeled3.The author speculates that rehabilitation can be made more effective if____.[A] reform is directed to the criminals‘emotional problems[B] rehabilitation is aimed at changing the economic and social environment[C] rehabilitation is facilitated by physicians,psychiatrists or psychologists[D] crimes are dealt with in the ways that suit each kind4.According to the author,punishment is a better means than rehabilitation in reducing crime rate____.[A] so it should be used in place of rehabilitation[B] so stricter sentences are absolutely necessary[C] yet it does not work well in many cases[D] but preventing crime is even more effective5. The author concludes the passage by pointing out that____.[A] the present gun-licensing laws are held responsible for most of the crimes[B] educational failure accounts for most of the present offences[C] more help should be provided for released criminals[D] the long-term reduction of crime rate depends on multiple improvements参考答案:1.[A]意为:导致刑法的制定。

2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(十四)及答案:法学类 A white kid sells a bag of cocaine at his suburban high school. A Latino kid does the same in his inner-city neighborhood. Both get caught. Both are first-timeoffenders. The white kid walks into juvenile court with his parents , his priest , a good lawyer-and medical coverage. The Latino kid walks into court with his mom , no legal resources and no insurance. The judge lets the white kid go with his family; he's placed in a private treatment program. The minority kid has no such option. He's detained.There , in a nutshell , is what happens more and more often in the juvenile-court system. Minority youths arrested on violent felony charges in California are more than twice as likely as their white counterparts to be transferred out of thejuvenile-justice system and tried as adults , according to a study released last week by the Justice Policy Institute , a research center in San Francisco. Once they are in adult courts , young black offenders are 18 times more likely to be jailed-and Hispanics seven times more likely-than are young white offenders. “Discrimination against kids of color accumulates at every stage of the justice system andskyrockets when juveniles are , tried as adults ,” says Dan Macallair, a co-author of the new study. “California has a double standard: throw kids of color behind bars , but .rehabilitate white kids who commit comparable crimes.”Even as juvenile crime has declined from its peak in the early 1990s , headline grabbing violence by minors has intensified a get-tough attitude. Over the past six years , 43 states have passed laws that make it easier to try juveniles as adults. In Texas and Connecticut in 1996, the latest year for which figures are available , all the juveniles in jails were minorities. Vincent Schiraldi , the Justice Policy Institute's director , concedes that “some kids need to be tried as adults. But most can be rehabilitated.”Instead , adult prisons tend to brutalize juveniles. They are eight times more likely to commit suicide and five times more likely to be sexually abused than offenders held in juvenile detention. “Once they get out, they tend to commit more crimes and more violent crimes ,” says Jenni Gainsborough, aspokeswoman for the Sentencing Project , a reform group in Washington. The system , in essence , is training career criminals. And it's doing its worst work among minorities.注(1)本文选自By Anamaria Wilson Time; 02/14/2000, Vol. 155 Issue 6, p68, 1/3p注(2)本文习题命题模仿对象1997年真题text 5(其中因1997年真题text 5只有4个题目,所以本文第4题模仿参照对象为1999年 Text 4的第4题。
