Part III Reading Comprehension (25 points)

Section A

Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Passage One

Sometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. That‘s what happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran.

Martin, 68, a retired detective form New York City, took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. ―The more I trained, the better I got,‖ Curran said,‖ but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment.‖

Eventually , they worked up to running marathons(马拉松)(and longer races) in other countries, on other countries. Now both have achieved a notable -and increasingly less rate- milestone; running the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents.

They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: ―runcations,‖ which combine distance running with travel to exotic places. There trips, as expensive as they are physically challenging, are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry.

―In the beginning, running was enough,‖ said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. The classic marathon was the ultimate goal,then came the super marathons, like London and New York. But when 90,000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no longer exciting and adventurous.Hence, the search for new adventures began.‖―No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle act ivity that it is today,‖said Thom Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon.

It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to every continent except Antarctica. And then in 1995, Marathon fours hosted its first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island. Off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula; 160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage.

21. At the beginning, Martin took up running just to _________.

A. meet requirements of his job

B. win a running race

C. join in a philanthropic activity

D. get away from his sadness

22. Martin and Curran are mentioned as good examples of __________.

A. winners in the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents

B. people who enjoy long running as a lifestyle activity

C. running racers satisfied with their own performance

D. old people who live an active life after retirement

23. A new trend in the travel industry is the development of _________.

A. challenging runcations

B. professional races

C. Antarctica travel market

D. expensive tours

24. The classic marathon no longer satisfies some people because _________.

A. it does not provide enough challenge

B. it may be tough and dangerous

C. it involves too fierce a competition

D. it has attracted too many people

25. The first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island indicates that _________.

B. runcations are expensive and physically challenging

C. Marathon Tours is a leader of the travel industry

D. adventurous running has become increasingly popular

Passage Two

Before the 1970s, college students were treated as children. So many colleges ran in loco parentis system. ―In loco parentis‖is a Latin term meaning ―in the place of a parent.‖ It describes when someone else accepts responsibility to act in the interests of a child.

This idea developed long ago in British common law to define the responsibility of teachers toward their students. For years, American courts upheld in loco parentis in cases such as Gott versus Berea College in 1913.

Gott owned a restaurant off campus. Berea threatened to expel students who ate at places not owned by the school. The Kentucky high court decided that in loco parentis justified that rule.

In loco parentis meant that male and female college students usually had to live in separate buildings. Women had to be back at their dorms by ten or eleven on school nights.

But in the 1960s, students began to protest rules and restrictions like these. At the same time, courts began to support students who were being punished for political and social dissent.

In 1960, Alabama State College expelled six students who took part in a civil rights demonstration. They sued the school and won. After that it became harder and harder to defend in loco parentis.

At that time, students were not considered adults until 21. Then, in 1971, the 24th amendment to the Constitution set the voting age at eighteen. So in loco parentis no longer really applied. Slowly, colleges began to treat students not as children, but as adults. Students came to be seen as consumers of educational services.

Gary Dickstein, an assistant vice president at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, says in loco parentis is not really gone. It just looks different. Today‘s parents, he says, are often heavily involved in students‘lives. They are known as ―helicopter parents.‖They always seem to hover over their children. Gary Dickstein says these parents are likely to question decisions, especially about safety issues and grades. They want to make sure their financial investment is not being wasted.

26. Before the 1970s, many colleges ran in loco parentis system because________ .

A. they could take the place of the students‘parents

B. parents asked them to do it for the interests of their children

C. this was a tradition established by British colleges

D. college students were regarded as too young to be treated as adults

27. Who won the case of Gott versus Berea College in 1913? __________

A. Berea College.

B. Gott.

C. It was a win-win case.

D. The students.

28. The word ―dissent‖(Para.5) probably means ― ‖.

A. extreme behaviors

B. violation of laws

C. strong disagreement

D. Wrong doings

29. In 1960,the court ruled that Alabama State College

A. had no right to expel the students

B. was justified to have expelled the students

C. shouldn‘t interfere with students‘ daily life

D. should support civil rights demonstrations

30. According to Gary Dickstein, today‘s ―helicopter parents________.

A. don‘t set their hearts at rest with college administrators

B. keep a watchful eye on their children‘s life and study

C. care less about their children‘s education than before

D. have different opinions on their children‘s education

Passage Three

We tend to think of plants as the furniture of the natural worl d. They don‘t move they don‘t make sounds, they don‘t seem to respond to any thing –at least not very quickly. But as is often the case, our human view of the world misses quite a lot. Plants talk to each other all the time. And the language is chemical.

Over the years scientists have reported that different types of plants, from trees to tomatoes, release compounds into the air to help neighboring plants. These chemical warnings all have the same purpose—to spread information about one plant‘s disease so other plants can defend themselves. But exactly how plants receive and act on many of these signals is still mysterious.

In this week‘s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers in Japan offer some explanations. They have identified one chemical message and traced it all the way from release to action.

The scientists looked at tomato plants infested(侵害) by common pest, the cutworm caterpillar(毛虫). To start out, they grew plants in two plastic compartments connected by a tube. One plant was infested and placed upwind and the others were uninfested and placed downwind. The downwind plants were later exposed to the cutworm caterpillar. The results showed that plants that had previously been near sick neighbors were able to defend themselves better against the caterpillar. The researchers also studied leaves from exposed and unexposed plants. They found one compound showed up more often in the exposed plants. The substance is called Hex Vic. When the scientists fed Hex Vic to cutworms, it knocked down their survival rate by 17%. The scientists identified the source of Hex Vic, and sprayed it lightly over healthy plants. Those plants were then able to start producing the caterpillar-killing Hex Vic. Researchers confirmed that uninfested plants have to build their own weapon to fight off bugs and diseases. How do they know when to play defense? They are warned first by their friendly plant neighbors.

It is a complex tale, and it may be happening in more plant species than tomatoes. It may also be happening with more chemical signals that are still unknown to us. For now though, we know that plants not only communicate, they look out for one another.

31. What does the author try to emphasize Paragraph 1? ________.

A. How plants communicate is still a mystery.

B. Enough attention has been paid to plant talk.

C. Plants are the furniture of the natural world.

D. Plants can communicate with each other.

32. According to Paragraph2, what remains unknown is ______

A. how plants receive and handle the signals from their neighbors

B. why plants spread chemical information to their neighbor

C. how many types of plants release compounds into the air

D. whether plants send chemical warnings to their neighbors

33. The tomato plants in the experiment were ______

A. placed separately but connected through air

B. expose to different kinds of pests

C. exposed to the pest at the same time

D. placed together in a closed compartment

34. The experiment shows that the infested plant helps its neighbors by ______

A. making more Hex Vic to attract the pest

B. releasing Hex Vic into the air to warn them

C. letting them know how to produce Hex Vic

D. producing enough Hex Vic to kill the pest

35.What may be the best title for the passage?

A. Survival of Plants

B. Plant World

C. Talking Plants

D. Plant Bug Killer

Passage Four

Vancouver is the best place to live in the Americas, according to a quality-of-life ranking published earlier this month .The city regularly tops such indexes as its clean air, spacious homes and weekend possibilities of sailing and skiing. But its status as a livable city is threatened by worsening congestion(拥挤).Over the next three decades, another 1 million residents are expected to live in the Greater Vancouver region, adding more cars, bicycles and lorries to roads that arc already struggling to serve the existing 2.3 million residents.

A proposal by Vancouver‘s mayorseeks to prevent the worsening conditions. Upgrades would be madeto 2,300 kilometres of road lanes, as well as bus routes and cycle paths. Four hundred new buses would join the fleet of 1,830. There would be more trains and more ―sea bus‖ ferry crossings between Vancouver and its wealthy northern suburbs. To get all that, residents must vote to accept an increase in sales tax, from 7% to 7.5%. Polls suggest they will vote no. Everyone agrees that a more efficient transport system is needed. Confined by mountains to the north, the United States to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the west, Vancouver has spread in the only direction where there is still land, into the Fraser Valley, which just a few decades ago was mostly farmland. The road is often overcrowded.

Yet commuters‘suspicion of local bureaucrats may exceed their dislike of congestion. TransLink, which runs public transport in the region, is unloved by taxpayers. Passengers blame it when Skytrain,the light-rail system, comes to a standstill because of mechanical or electrical faults, as happened twice in one week last summer, leaving commuters stuck in carriages with nothing to do but expressing their anger on Twitter. That sort of thing has made voters less willing to pay the C$7.5 billion in capital spending that the ten-year trafficupgrade would involve.

Despite the complaints, Vancouver‘s transport system is a decent, well-integrated one on which to build, reckons Todd Litman, a tr ansport consultant who has worked for TransLink. ―These upgrades are all-important if Vancouver wants to maintain its reputation for being a destination others want to go to.‖He says.

36. The biggest problem threatening Vancouver as a livable city is________.

A. increasing congestion

B. climate change

C. shortage of land

D. lack of money

37. The upgrade proposal by Vancouver‘s mayor may be turned down by residents because ________.

A. they do not want more people to move in

B. they are reluctant to move to new places

C. upgrades would take away their living space

D. upgrades would add to their financial burdens

38. The only direction for Vancouver to further expand is towards _________ .

A. the east

B. the west

C. the south

D. the north

39. TransLink is mentioned (Para.4) as an example of ___________.

A. world famous transport companies

B. local residents‘complaints about the bureaucrats

C. local effort to improve public transport

D. worsening traffic congestion

40. According to Todd Litman, the upgrade proposal __________ .

A. will solve the traffic problem

B. will benefit local economy

C. satisfies the transport company

D. deserves public support

Section B

Directions: In this section, you are required to read one quoted blog and the comments on it. The blog and comments are followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Towards the end of the 1990s, more than a decade and a half Diet Coke was first introduced, sale of Coca Cola‘s best-selling low caloric drink appeared to slow down.

However, in the decade that followed, diet sodas grew by more than 30 percent. In 2009, sales pushed above $8.5 billion for the first time. But America‘s thirst for Diet Coke is running dry again-and this time it could be for good. The diet soda slowdown isn‘t merely an American thing--- it‘s also happening worldwide. B ut the future of diet colas is particularly cloudy in the United States.

Low calorie sodas are fighting a hard battle against not one but two trends among American consumers. The first is that overall soda consumption has been on the decline since before 2000. Diet sodas, though they might come sugar- and calorie-free, are still sodas, something Americans are proving less and less interested in drinking.

The second, and perhaps more significant trend, is a growing mistrust of artificial sweeteners(甜味剂). ―Consumers‘attitudes towards sweeteners have really changed.‖said Howard Telford, an industry analyst.―There‘s a very negative perception about artificial sweeteners. The industry is still trying to get its head around this.‖

Comment 1

Add me to the number of people addicted to diet colas who quit drinking soda altogether. I honestly think soda is addictive and I‘m happy not to be drinking it anymore.

Comment 2

Perhaps the slowdown has something more to do with the skyrocketing cost of soft drinks. Comment 3

I LOVE diet drinks! Am I unhealthy? Who knows? I guarantee I have a better physique than most 43-year-old men.

Comment4

This is a silly and shallow piece. The reason for the fall off is simply the explosion in consumption of bottled waters and energy drinks.

Comment5

As people learn more about health and wellness they will consume less sugar,less soda,less artificial sweeteners.

41.What do we know about diet soda sale?

A.It began to undergo a gradual drop starting from 2000.

B.It was on the decline since the 1990s but is on the rise now.

C.It reached its peak in the 2000s but began to drop since then.

D.It has been decreasing since the 1990s.

42.What does the author think of the prospects of diet soda sale?

A.It will continue to drop.

B.It will get better soon.

C.It is hard to say for sure.

D.It may have ups and downs.

43.Which comment gives a personal reason for quitting diet colas?

Paper Two(50minutes)Part VI Translation (10 points)

Directions:Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Should work be placed among the cases of happiness or be regarded as a burden? Much work is exceedingly tiresome, and an excess of work causes stress and even disease. I think, however, that, provided work is not excessive in amount, even boring work is less harmful than idleness. We sometimes feel a little relief from work; at other times work gives us delight. These feeling arise according to the type of work we are doing and our ability to do that work. Work fills many hours of the day and removes the need to decide what one should do.

译文:工作究竟是快乐之源还是负担所在呢?大量工作令人极度疲惫,过量工作产生压力甚至疾病。然而,我认为只要工作量不超标,即使是工作无聊透顶也比无所事事要好。有些时候我们从工作中获得一丝放松,其他时候我们从工作中获得愉悦。不同的工作种类和工作能力带来不同的感觉。工作充实了一天中的许多时光,让我们不必思考该做什么事情。Part VII Writing (15 points)参考答案:

Nowadays, more and more people are concerned about the problem of environmental protection, for the pollution has brought us so many bad influences. It is important for us to realize that it is everyone's duty to protect our environment.

To cope with this nation-wide problem, our government has started to take a series of effective measures. The most effective way is to save energy and reduce carbon emission, for every year billions of tons of carbon dioxide are emitted into the air, which in partresults in the global warming and climate changing.

For me, I am trying to make my own contributions. Firstly, I go to work by bus instead of driving. Secondly, I am getting to form the habit of saving water and electricity. For example, when I brush my teeth and wash my hands, I will never leave the water running again. What's more, I even recommend our relatives and friends to do so. By now my ways have been working perfectly and efficiently.

While people have heard of Black Friday; most do not know its origins. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving (感恩节).On this day most retail stores open their doors very early一some as early as 4 am. In addition, they provide their customers with great discounts on products. With this in mind, it is clear to see why so many shoppers buy many of their Christmas gifts on Black Friday. Black Friday is not as ok! as many people think. In fact, it is believed that the first Black. Friday was held in the 1970s in the USA. It was a day when stores decided to mark the start of the holiday season In order to draw more customers, they offered great discounts. All products sold very well.

2015年考研英语二阅读Text1真题详解

2015年考研英语二阅读Text1真题详解 整篇文章的主题是与我们生活息息相关的内容,文章的难度不大,相比2014年英语二的阅读来说,难度稳定,这是在我们预料之中的。 第21题According to Paragraph 1,most previous surveys found that home___(根据第一段可知,之前的调查中认为家是一个____地方)。[A] offered greater relaxation than the workplace [B] was an ideal place for stress measurement [C] generated more stress than the workplace [D] was an unrealistic place for relaxation题目中明确给出范围,所以我们只要在第一段中找答案,且要注意题目中的关键词是previous。回归第一段,不难发现文章的首句便是答案出处:A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys, people are actually more stressed at home than at work.(新的研究显示不同于以往的绝大多数调查,人们在家比工作时的压力更大)。这句话中new、contrary to most surveys是提示词,与题目中的previous study相对应的,不难做出正确答案是[A] 第22题According to Damaske, who are likely to be the happiest at home?(Damaske 认为,谁可能是最家里最快乐的?)读完题目,回到文章第二段找Damaske的观点:It is men, not women, who report being happier at home than at work.在家男性比女性更快乐,Another surprise is that findings hold true for both those with children and without, but more so for nonparents.这句话的关键词是more,它与题目中的happiest最高级是相对应的,所以解这道题的关键便是nonparents.但是对于很多同学来说,nonparents是个生词,不认识。其实大家只要上过中公考研的英语词汇课,学习过词根词缀法,这个单词就变的很简单。nonparents是由否定前缀non-+parents构成的,non-这个否定前缀表示“不无非”,所以整个单词可以译为不是父母。四个选项[A] Childless wives [B] Working mothers [C] Childless husbands [D] Working fathers,我们可以轻易选出答案C,没有孩子且是丈夫。 第23题,The blurring of working women's roles refers to the fact that__。回归第三段中,找到With the blurring of roles,发现前面的句子正是对这种现象的解释:for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks.以及后面的the home front lags well behind the workplace a making adjustments for working women,指的便是女性不仅得工作赚钱,而且还得在家得忙家务,所以她们的身份是双重的。所以选[D] they are both bread winners and housewives. 第24题,The word“ moola”(Line4,Para4)most probably means__这是一道词义推测题,它与前文中的marking money是近义词,答案选[C] earnings收入。 第25题The home front differs from the workplace in that__。文章第5段there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor;家务劳动不会像工作一样得到足够的奖励,而且分工也是不明确的。答案对应选项[A] division of labor at home is seldom clear-cut. 虽然有突破口、也有规律可循,但这并不意味着我们可以一劳永逸、高枕无忧,要知道,

Choose the best one and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET l. (10 points) The outbreak of swine flu that was first detected in Mexico was declared a global pandemic on June 11, 2009, in the first designation by the World Health Organization of a worldwide pandemic in 41 years. The heightened alert came after an emergency meeting with flu experts in Geneva that convened after a sharp rise in cases in Australia, and rising numbers in Britain, Japan, Chile and elsewhere. But the pandemic is "moderate" in severity, according to Margaret Chan, the organization's director general, with the overwhelming majority of patients experiencing only mild symptoms and a full recovery, often in the absence of any medical treatment. The outbreak came to global notice in late April 2009, when Mexican authorities noticed an unusually large number of hospitalizations and deaths among healthy adults. As much of Mexico City shut down at the height of a panic, cases began to crop up in New York City, the southwestern United States and around the world. In the United States, new cases seemed to fade as warmer weather arrived. But in late September 2009, officials reported there was significant flu activity in almost every state and that virtually all the samples tested are the new swine flu, also known as (A) H1N1, not seasonal flu. @Zov&0 1 In the U.S., it has infected more than one million people, and caused more than 600 deaths and more than 6,000 hospitalizations. Federal health officials released Tamiflu for children from the national stockpile and began taking orders from the states for the new swine flu vaccine. The new vaccine, which is different from the annual flu vaccine, is available ahead of expectations. More than three million doses were to be made available in early October 2009, though most of those initial doses were of the FluMist nasal spray type, which is not recommended for pregnant women, people over 50 or those with breathing difficulties, heart disease or several other problems. But it was still possible to vaccinate people in other high-risk group: health care workers, people caring for infants and healthy young people.

With this in mind, it is clear to see why so many shoppers buy many of their Christmas gifts on Black Friday. Black Friday is not as old as many people think.

In order to draw more customers, they offered great discounts. All products sold very well. This large success resulted in the name Black Friday. It was so named because the stores were "in the black". This financial term means the stores made a lot of money.

2010-2017英语二翻译真题答案

【2017年】我的梦想 我的梦想一直是在时装设计和出版领域找寻一份工作。在我中学毕业的两年前,我选修了一门“缝纫和设计”课程,并且以为我能再继续学习一个时装设计的课程。然而,就在这个课程的学习过程中,我意识到,将来在这个领域,我是无法与那些富于创新精神的精英们相比的。于是,我断定这条路行不通。在申请上大学之前,我对所有人都讲,我想学新闻学,因为,写作曾经是并且现在也一直是我最喜欢的事情之一。但是,说实话,我之所以这样说,是因为我认为从事时装设计不过是我的一个梦想,我也知道,除了我之外,没有人能想象出我会从事时装设计的工作。 【2016年】 超市旨在吸引顾客在自己店内停留尽量长的时间。原因很简单:顾客在店里停留的时间越长,看到的商品就会越多;而看到的商品越多,你就会买的越多。超市有大量商品。根据食品营销研究院所说,普通超市大概有44000种不同的商品;很多超市更是会比普通超市多上万种商品。众多选择足以让顾客面临各种信息,不堪重负。根据脑部扫描实验,需要做这么多的决定很快就会使我们难以承受。大约购物40分钟以后,大部分顾客就无法试图做出理性的选择,而会冲动购物——此时,在购物车里,我们已经装了一半根本没想买的东西。 【2015年】 设想一下,你正开车行驶在一条非常熟悉的路线上。可能是你每天上下班、去城里、或是回家的路。不管是哪一条路,你对每一个拐每一个弯都了如指掌,非常熟悉。在这样的路途中,我们容易在开车的时候心不在焉,对途中的景色也几乎是全然不顾。如此一来,你会觉得路上所花的时间比实际要少。 这就是“熟悉路线效应”:人们往往会低估行驶在熟悉的路上所花费的时间。 这一效应由我们分配精力的方式引起。当行驶在熟悉的路上时,由于我们不用太过集中精力,时间似乎飞逝而过。随后,我们回想行车过程时,由于我们没有过多关注,所以对行车的印象也很模糊。因此我们会认为花费的时间会更短些。 【2014年】 大多数人认为乐观是无尽的欢乐,如同总是有半杯水的杯子。但那是一种绝不会为积极心理学家所称道的虚假的快乐。哈佛大学的TalBen-Shahar教授说,"健康的乐观主义意味着要活在现实之中。"在Ben-Shahar看来,现实的乐观主义者会因势利导,而非求全责备。 Ben-Shahar 会使用三种乐观的方法。比如说,当他因搞砸了一场演讲而倍感郁闷的时候,他会告诉自己这是很正常的事,提醒自己:并不是每一次演讲都可以获得诺贝尔奖,总会有一些人的演讲效果不及其他人。接着为改进。他分析了一些效果不好的演讲并且从那些起效和无效的演讲中吸取教训为将来做准备。最后是看待问题的角度,即在生活的宏伟计划中,一次演讲真的无足轻重。
