Part Two Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Directions: In this part there are five passages, each followed by questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one.

Passage One

Questions 16 to 18 are based on the following passage.

The last of the dinosaurs lived during a time called the Cretaceous period. This time period lasted from about 135 million to 65.5 million years ago. Some sources give the years of 146,145, or 144 million to 65 million years ago.

In the Cretaceous period, the middle of North America was covered by a shallow sea. The Atlantic Ocean began opening up between Europe and North America as those continents rifted. Other continents that had begun pulling away from each other in the Jurassic continued drifting apart. India was an island by itself.

Evergreen trees, mosses, and ferns had been the main types of plants, but now in the Cretaceous, flowering plants appeared. Bees did, too. Hardwood trees like oaks and maples first appeared in the fossil record.

Modem bi and Triceratops came into existence. So did other ceratopsian dinosaurs, relatives of Triceratops, with their wide variety of facial horns and neck frills. Great herds of perhaps 10,000 Triceratops roamed the edges of the North American Inland Sea. The climate began to cool.

At the end of the Cretaceous, another mass extinction wiped out as much as 90 percent of marine life and 50 percent of life on land. There were no more dinosaurs after the end of the Cretaceous, at about 65.5 million years ago. The Cenozoic era, also called the Age of Mammals, began.

Passage Two

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the following passage.

Physical therapy is the treatment of people of all ages with injured or diseased muscles, arms, or legs. Physical therapists, or PTs as they are often called, treat patients with exercise and massage. PTs do not use medicine to treat patients. Sometimes water or heat therapies are used for treatment as well. Physical therapy helps an injured or sick person move with less pain and stress.

PTs are not medical doctors, but doctors often refer patients to physical therapists to help patients recover from injuries or deal with diseases. A PT studies the patient’s medical records. Then he or she develops a treatment plan to improve the patient’s ability to move the injured limb. PTs work with patients to strengthen damaged or

weakened mus

artificial limb. Therapists want patients to be able to do as many daily activities as they possibly can. The PT keeps a record of the patient’s p rogress. Treatments are changed according to the patient’s needs and rate of progress.

Physical therapists must graduate from a physical therapy program at a college or university. A four year baccalaureate degree is required. In addition, a master’s degre e requires two to two and one-half more years. A doctorate degree requires three years.

Physical therapists must pass a national and/or state exam to get a license. Some PTs work in hospitals, nursing homes, or doctors，offices. Some PTs travel to patients' homes to work with patients who are homebound. Some PTs work in schools, health clubs, or with sports teams. PTs may specialize in a certain field, such as sports medicine, working with athletes. They might choose cardiology, working, with patients with heart disease or defects. They might choose the field of pediatrics if they like working with children.

If you are a person who likes people and wants to help them improve their lives, you might like to be a physical therapist. If so, you should have strong communication and interpersonal skills. Above all, compassion is a required character trait for a PT.

Passage Three

Questions 23 to 26 are based on the following passage.

This amazing woman was born a poor German princess and became one of Russia’s greatest emperors.

She was born Princess Sophia August Frederika on May 2, 1729, in the Baltic seaport town of Stettin, then a part of German Pomerania. Her father was an obscure German military prince named Christian August, and her mother was Princess Joanna Elizabeth of Holstein-Gottorp. Her father was ruler of the tiny principality of Anhalt-Zerbst, but the greater part of his life was spent as an officer in the service of Prussia.

In 1744, she arrived in Moscow with her mother to marry Peter, the Grand Duke of Holstein, grandson of Peter the Great and heir to the Russian throne (later Peter Ⅲ). Their marriage was an unhappy one. Catherine (now baptized into the Russian Orthodox Church under that name) spent much of her time preparing for her future reign.

In 1761, Peter was crowned emperor. Supported by the Russian military, Catherine overthrew Peter in 1762 and became Catherine II. She quickly began to make changes in government and society based on ideas learned from French-philosophers of the Enlightenment and the authors of ancient Rome.

She was a friend of Voltaire and other European writers, and wrote stories and plays. She supported French writer and philosopher Denis Diderot when he was broken-she bought his library, hired him to look after it at his own house, for which she paid him a salary for the next 50 years in advance.

Catherine patronized the arts, music and education, and she put millions of rubles into the creation of the Hermitage Museum, which today is the delight of Russia and the world. No other Russian monarch appreciated beauty as much as Catherine. She set the stage for the emergence of a national Russian culture that would become something unique and wonderful in the 19th century.

Catherine established the first schools for women, including the Smolny Institute for in Petersburg. Also, Russia's first public schools and universities were founded during

her reign.

Her rule was one of the most prosperous periods of the Russian Empire. She undertook a wide range of internal political reforms, waged two successful wars against the Ottoman Empire and occupied vast territories on Russia's southern boundaries, eventually advancing th e country’s border to t he Black Sea.

23. How old was Catherine when she arrived in Russia to marry Grand Duke Peter of Holstein?

A. 21

B. 15

C. 13

D. Not mentioned

24. How did Catherine become ruler of Russia?

A. Her father died.

B. The people of Russia chose her.

C. She inherited the title from her cousin.

D. She used force to take over the government

25. Catherine learned from .

A. ancient Roman authors

B. Russian arts, music and education

C. French philosophers of the Enlightenment

D. European writers such as Voltaire and Diderot

26. During her reign, .

A. Russia became a military superpower

B. Public schools were established for girls

C. Millions of rubles were robbed and stored

D. A11 of the above

Passage Four

Questions 27 to 31 are based on the following passage.

Americans often say that there are only two things a person can be sure of in life: death and taxes. Americans do not have a corn er on the “death” market, but many people feel that the United States leads the world with the most taxes.

Taxes consist of the money which people pay to support their government. There are generally three levels of government in the United States: federal, state, and city: therefore, there are three types of taxes.

Salaried people who earn more than a few thousand dollars must pay a certain

percentage of s to the federal government. The percentage varies from person to person. It depends on their salaries. The federal government has a graduated income tax, that is, the percentage of the tax increases as a person’s income increase. With the high cost of taxes, people are not very happy on April 15, when the federal taxes are due.

Some states have an income tax similar to that of the federal government. Of course, the percentage for the state tax is lower. Other states have a sales tax, which is a percentage charged to any item which you buy in that state. For example, a person might want to buy a packet of cigarettes for twenty-five cents. If there is a sales tax of eight percent in that state, then the cost of the cigarettes is twenty-seven cents. This figure includes the sales tax. Some states use income tax in addition to sales tax to raise their revenues. The state tax laws are diverse and confusing.

The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: property tax (people who own a home have to pay taxes on it) and excise tax, which is charged on cars in a city. The cities use these funds for education, police and fire department, public works and municipal buildings.

Since Americans pay such high taxes, they often feel that they are working one each week just to pay their taxes. People always complain about taxes. They often protest that the government uses their tax dollars in the wrong way. They say that it spends too much on useless and impractical programs. Although Americans have different view on many issues, they tend to agree on one subject: taxes are too high.

27. How do you understand “Americans do not have a corner on the death market”?

A. Americans can’t monopolize this market.

B. There is no such place as a death market in the United States

C. Americans are not good at doing business in the death market.

D. Americans do not have a secret place to keep from death in their life.

28. What’s the attitude of the Americans towards taxes?

A. Take them easy.

B. Try to resist them.

C. Complain

D. Take them as their duty.

29. What’s the difference between federal tax and state tax?

A. They have the same percentage.

B. It is not mentioned in the passage.

C. The percentage for the state tax is higher than the federal tax.

D. The percentage for the federal tax is higher than the state tax.

30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Excise tax is charged on cars.

B. There is a unified state tax laws.

C. Income tax increases as a person’s income increases.

D. Some states have both an income tax and a sales tax.

31. Which of the following usages of the taxes is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. For raising their revenues.

B. For sustaining development.

C. For police and fire departments.

D. For public works and municipal building.

Passage Five

Questions 32 to 35 are based on the following passage

Sustainable development is applied to just about everything from energy to clean water and economic growth, and as a result it has become difficult to question either the basic assumptions behind it or the way the concept is put to use. This is especially true in agriculture, where sustainable development is often taken as the sole measure of progress without a proper appreciation of historical and cultural perspectives.

To start with, it is important to remember that the nature of agriculture has changed markedly throughout history, and will continue to do so. Medieval agriculture in northern Europe led, clothed and sheltered a predominantly rural society with a much lower population density than it is today. It had minimal effect on biodiversity, and any pollution it caused was typically localized. In terms of energy use and the nutrients captured in the product it was relatively inefficient.

Contrast this with farming since the start of the industrial revolution. Competition from overseas led farmers to specialize and increase yields. Throughout this period food

became cheape

loss and to diminishing biodiversity.

What’s more, demand for animal products in developing countries is growing so fast that meeting it will require an extra 300 million tons of grain a year by 2050. Yet the growth of cities and industry is reducing the amount of water available for agriculture in many regions.

All this mean that agriculture in the 21st century will have to be very different from how it was in the 20st. This will require radical thinking. For example, we need to move away from the idea that traditional practices are inevitably more sustainable than new ones. We also need to abandon the notion that agriculture can be “zero impact”. The key will be to abandon the rather simple and static measures of sustainability, which centre on the need to maintain production without increasing damage.

Instead we need a more dynamic interpretation, one that looks at the pros and cons of all the various ways land is used. There are many different ways to measure agricultural performance besides food yield: energy use, environmental cost, water purity, carbon footprint and biodiversity. It is clear, for example, that the carbon of transporting tomatoes from Spain to the UK is less than that of producing them in the UK with additional heating and lighting. But we do not know whether lower carbon footprints will always be better for biodiversity.

What is crucial is recognizing that sustainable agriculture is not just about sustainable food production.

32. How was the agriculture in Middle Ages according to the passage?

A. Agriculture generally had efficient productivity.

B. Agriculture caused pollution only in small areas.

C. Agriculture could provide plenty of nutritious food.

D. Agriculture could feed, clothe and shelter the whole society.

33. What had happened in agriculture after the start of the industrial revolution?

A. People could not trust the safety of food.

B. More animal and plants can be found in farms.

C. Competition drove farmers to produce more food.

D. People were given more opportunities to reduce its impact.

34. Which of the following is a radical way to think of agriculture in 21st century?

A. Tradition practices are inevitably more sustainable than new ones.

B. Agriculture can be “zero i mp act”

C. Sustainability can be measured from more aspects.

D. Demand for animal products in developing countries should growing fast.

35. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Lower carbon footprints are better for biodiversity.

B. Growth of industry helps reduce biodiversity.

C. Sustainability should be measured by different ways.

D. Expansion of cities reduces the amount of water stilly for agriculture.

Part Four Translation (20 points)

Section A: Translate the following passage into Chinese.

The sun heats the Earth’s sur face unevenly causing differences in air pressure. It’s these differences that cause wind to flow over our planet’s surface. Scientists convert wind energy into electrical energy by using wind mills or wind turbines. The turbines take the, movement of the air and convert it into mechanical energy. Each wind mill contains blades that are connected to a generator. The faster the blades spin the more energy that is produced by the generator. In areas that have constant winds, you will find wind farms and small, wind-driven generators. On these wind farms are hundreds

of wind turbin

wind-driven generators are used for individual homes to produce electricity. Similar to solar energy, wind energy cannot be consistently used. There are areas around the world that do not have constant winds. In areas like windy mountain passes, the wind does not blow continuously. Therefore wind energy is only dependable for certain areas of the planet.

中国矿业大学考博英语真题2015年

中国矿业大学考博英语真题2015年 Part ⅠReading Comprehension Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions or statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet. Passage One The purpose of the American court system is to protect the rights of the people. According to American law, if someone is accused of a crime, he or she is considered innocent until the court proves that the person is guilty. In other words, it is the responsibility of the court to prove that a person is guilty. It is not the responsibility of the person to prove that he or she is innocent. In order to arrest a person, the police have to be reasonably sure that a crime has been committed. The police must give the suspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law. Then the police take the suspect to the police station to "book" him. "Booking" means that the name of the person and the charges against him are formally listed at the police station. The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The judge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released. If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to court rather than run away—for example, because he owns a house and has a family—he can go free. Otherwise, the suspect must put up bail. At this time, too, the judge will appoint a court layer to defend the suspect if he can't afford one. The suspect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer from the district attorney's office presents a case against the suspect. This is called a hearing. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The judge at the hearing then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. If the judge decides that there is sufficient evidence to call for a trial, he or she sets a date for the suspect to appear in court to formally plead guilty or not guilty. At the trial, a jury of 12 people listens to the evidence from both attorneys and hears the testimony of the witnesses. Then the jury goes into a private room to consider the evidence and decide whether the defendant is guilty of the crime. If the jury decides that the defendant is innocent, he goes free. However, if he is convicted, the judge sets a date for the defendant to appear in court again for sentencing. At this time, the judge tells the convicted person what his punishment will be.

北京大学考博英语历年试题综合分析 导言：考博英语真题的重要性 全国各大院校在制定本校英语专业考试大纲时，对英语的考核基本上不指定参考书，考生在备考时往往感到漫无目的，无所适从，所以对各大院校的考博英语历年真 题分析则显得尤为重要。华慧考博英语教研中心在历时8年的教学研究的过程中，总 结国内50多所重点院校的考博英语试题的出题特点与规律，认为考生精研各院校的历年试题对考出良好的成绩有非常大的帮助。 考博英语试题的独特性 众所周知，英语类的考试，如高考、大学英语四六级、专业四八级考试、研究生 入学考试等均由统一的命题组人员统一命制试题，命题组阵容强大，且耗费的人力、物力也不在少数，其题目基本是原创题目。而考博英语却并非这样，因此，考博英 语有其自身的独特性，考博英语的独特性主要表现在其命题方式与题目来源两方面。 首先，从命题方式来看，博士考试中，要求考生达到英语的最低分数线，这一要 求就注定了各大考博院校的英语试题的命题方式，各大考博院校不会花费大量的人力、物力及时间原创一套考博英语试题。并且各大院校为了保证其试题的准确性，一般会 选择已经考过的各类相关难度的试题，这样就可以避免出现大量的因个人学术水平方 面而引起的错误和争议。 其次，从题目来源看，各大院校的考博英语试题基本来自专四、专八、六级、杂 志文章或其它考博院校的原题，极少出现原创题目。因其题目来源的独特性，我们研 究各大院校的考博英语试题就显得非常有必要且益处极大。如果考生在考前了解了这 一情况，且充分重视这个规律，那么获得考博英语高分不是什么难事。所以考生考前 精研考博英语真题是非常有必要的。
