2009年同等学力英语阅读理解真题及中文翻译

PASSAGE ONE

The other day my son asked me if he could ride up to his elementary school on his bike and meet his friend.He wanted the both of them to ride back to our house so they could play video games and jump on the trampoline.I have to admit,part of me wanted to say no.We can go pick him up or his parents can bring him over here,I thought.But my son is eleven years old now.And after all,I do let him ride his bike to school.But I also drive my daughter to school and I can see him on the way,making sure he is getting there safely.

My husband thinks I am too overprotective.I don’t care to let my children walk anywhere without one of us going along.As you pull out of our neighborhood,there is a shopping center across the street.My son always asks if he can ride his bike or walk over to the drugstore by himself.But crossing that street is just too dangerous.The cars fly around the corner like they’re driving in a car race.What if he gets hit?What is some teenage bullies are hanging out in the parking lot?

I want so much to give my children the freedom that I enjoyed having when I was growing up but I hesitate to do so because there are dangers around every corner.Too many kidnaps,too many sex offenders.I went online and discovered there are41sex offenders in my area alone.

I honestly don’t think my mom worried about such things when her children were young.

Growing up in the1970s was indeed a different time.I never wore a helmet when I rode a bike.We were all over the neighborhood,on our bikes and on foot,coming home for dinner and then back out again until dark.We rode in the back of the truck,didn’t wear seatbelts.I walked to and from school every day…

PASSAGE TWO

About a century ago more people would not have appreciated the study of a foreign language as they do today.Gone are those days when patriotism towards one’s own language was a major obstacle to learning foreign languages,a time when most nations were trying to throw their alien rulers out of their countries in their freedom struggles.

Gone are those days when people were proud of their mother or father tongues and considered that their native languages alone will suffice the need to https://www.sodocs.net/doc/d54720873.html,nguage skills today have become as important as other business and career skills like IT,vocational or

professional skills.Thus learning a foreign language today has become essential for an individual whether it is for careers,growing a business,or even to make an impression.

All that one needs to possess these days is a drive to learn a foreign language and there are all kinds of institutes and courses that teach various foreign languages like French,German, Spanish,and Japanese.Today’s world economy has bridged the barriers of race,sex,color and religion and the world had become a smaller place.Today’s businesses also demand language skills to expand and grow in other countries.Tens and hundreds of businesses world wide are expanding and growing their business by promoting them in countries other than their countries of origin.The tremendous growth of the Internet has further increased the demand for language skills.In Canada an official rule also says that all commercial establishments must have their websites created both in English and French,the official languages of the country.

Language can also ease race and border barriers.You are more welcome in an alien nation if you know the language of the people there and can converse in their tongue.People in these countries immediately respect you and think you care about their culture as much as they do because in any culture language is the key identity.

37.One of the reasons for not studying a foreign language in the past is_____.

PASSAGE THREE

You may have wondered why the supermarkets are all the same.It is not because the companies that them lack imagination.It is because they all aim at persuading people to buy things.

In the supermarket,it takes a while for the mind to get into a shopping mode.This is why the area immediately inside the entrance is known as the“decompression zone”.People need to slow down and look around,even if they are regulars.In sales terms this area is a bit of a loss, so it tends to be used more for promotion.

Immediately inside the first thing shoppers may come to is the fresh fruit and vegetables section.For shoppers,this makes no sense.Fruit and Vegetables can be easily damaged,so they should be bought at the end,not the beginning,of a shopping trip.But what is at work here?It turns out that selecting good fresh food is a way to start shopping,and it makes people feel less guilty about reaching for the unhealthy stuff later on.

Shoppers already know that everyday items,like milk,are invariably placed toward the back of a store to provide more opportunities to tempt customers.But supermarkets know shoppers know this,so they use other tricks,like placing popular items halfway along a section so that people have to walk all along the aisle looking for them.The idea is to boost“dwell time”:the length of time people spend in a store.

Traditionally retailers measure“footfall”,as the number of people entering a store is known, but those numbers say nothing about where people go and how long they spend there.But nowadays,a piece of technology can fill the gap:the mobile phone.Path Intelligence,a British company tracked people’s phones at Gunwharf Quays,a large retail centre in Portsmouth-not by monitoring calls,but by plotting the positions of handsets as they transmit automatically to cellular networks.It found that when dwell time rose1%sales rose1.3%.

Such techniques are increasingly popular because of a deepening understanding about how shoppers make choices.People tell market researchers that they make rational decisions about what to buy,considering things like price,selection or convenience.But subconscious forces, involving emotion and memories,are clearly also at work.

43.In Paragraph2,“decompression zone”is the area meant to_____

A.offer shoppers a place to have a rest

B.prepare shoppers for the mood of buying

C.encourage shoppers to try new products

D.provide shoppers with discount information

44.Putting fruit-and-vegetable section near the entrance takes advantage of shoppers’_____

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/d54720873.html,mon sense

B.shopping habits

C.concerns with time

D.shopping psychology

45.Path Intelligence uses a technology to_____.

A.count how many people enter a store

B.measure how long people stay at a store

C.find out what people buy in a store

D.monitor what people say and do in a store

46.What happened at Gunwharf Quays showed that sales_____.

A.was in direct proportion to dwell time

B.was reversely linked to dwell time

C.was affected more by footfall than by dwell time

D.was affected more by dwell time than by football

47.The author argues that shoppers_____.

B.are more likely to make rational choices than they know

C.tend to make more emotional decisions than they think

D.have more control over what they buy than they assume

48.The best title for the passage is_____.

A.New Technology Boosts Stores’Sales

B.How Shoppers Make Choices in Stores

C.Rational and Irrational Ways of Shopping

D.The Science behind Stores’Arrangements

PASSAGE FOUR

A very important world problem is the increasing number of people who actually inhabit this planet.The limited amount of land and land resources will soon be unable to support the huge population if it continues to grow at its present rate.

So why is this huge increase in population taking place?It is really due to the spread of the knowledge and practice of what is becoming known as“Death Control”.You have no doubt heard of the term”Birth Control”.”Death Control”is something rather difficult.It recognizes the work of the doctors and scientists who now keep alive people who,not very long ago, would have died of a variety of then incurable diseases.Through a wide variety of technological innovations that include farming methods and the control of deadly diseases,we have found ways to reduce the rate at which we die.However,this success is the very cause of the greatest threat to mankind.

If we examine the amount of land available for this ever-increasing population,we begin to see the problem.If everyone on the planet had an equal share of land,we would each have about 50,000square metres.This figure seems to be quite encouraging until we examine the amount of usable land we actually have.More than three-fifths of the world’s land cannot produce food. Obviously,with so little land to support us,we should be taking great care not to reduce it further.But we are not!Instead,we are consuming its“capital”-its nonrenewable fossil fuels and other mineral deposits that took millions of years to form but which are now being

destroyed in decades.We are also doing the same with other vital resources not usually thought of as being nonrenewable such as fertile soils,groundwater and the millions of other species that share the earth with us.

It is a very common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction.This is not true.The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on nature.Developing countries do have an effect on their environment,but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole.

49.According to the article,what contributes to the population increase?

A.Birth explosion.

B.Birth Control

C.Death Control.

D.Technological innovations.

50.The word“incurable”in Paragraph2means_____

https://www.sodocs.net/doc/d54720873.html,mon

B.epidemic

C.untreatable

D.unknown

51.There isn’t enough land to support human beings because_____

A.there are more seas than land in the world

B.most of the world’s land is unusable

C.the world’s land has already been taken up

D.the world’s land is not distributed equally

52.In Paragraph4the writer implies that fertile soils are_____

A.limited

B.renewable

C.productive

D.nonrenewable

53.What does“to limit their reproduction”is the last paragraph mean?

A.To control death.

B.To produce less goods.

C.To increase production.

D.To practice birth control.

54.What do you think the writer is really concerned about?

A.Long life spans.

B.Population increase.

C.Overuse of resources.

D.The success of“Death Control”.

PASSAGE FIVE

All day long,you are affected by large forces.Genes influence your intelligence and willingness to take risks.Social dynamics unconsciously shape your choices.Instantaneous perceptions set off neutral reactions in your head without you even being aware of them.

Over the past few years,scientists have made a series of exciting discoveries about how these deep patterns influence daily life.Nobody has done more to bring these discoveries to public attention than Malcolm Gladwell.

Gladwell’s noncontroversial claim is that some people have more opportunities than others. Bill Gates was lucky to go to a great private school with its own computer at the dawn of the information revolution.

Gladwell’s book is being received by reviewers as a call to action for the Obama Age.It could lead policy makers to finally reject policies built on the assumption that people are coldly rational profit-maximizing individuals.It could cause them to focus more one policies that foster relationships,social bonds and cultures of achievement.

Yet,I can’t help but feel that Glad well and others who share his emphasis are preoccupied with the coolness of the discoveries.They’ve lost sight of the point at which the influence of social forces ends and the influence of the self-initiating individual begins.

Most successful people begin with two beliefs:the future can be better than the present,and I have the power to make it so.They were often showered by good fortunes,but relied at crucial moments upon achievements of individual will.These people also have an extraordinary ability to consciously focus their attention.Control of attention is the ultimate individual power.People who can do that are not prisoners of the stimuli around them.They can choose from the patterns in the world and lengthen their time horizons.

Gladwell’s social determinism overlooks the importance of individual character and individual creativity.And it doesn’t fully explain the genuine greatness of humanity’s talents.As the classical philosophers understood,examples of individual greatness inspire achievement more reliably than any other form of education.

55.In Paragraph2,“these deep patterns”refers to all of the following EXCEPT_____

A.genes

B.social dynamics

C.instantaneous perceptions.

D.neutral reactions

56.According to the author,Gladwell’s new book Outliers is mainly_____

A.a descriptive study of exceptionally talented individuals

B.about the importance of social arrangements to personal success

C.to discuss why some people have more opportunities than others

D.to explain why Bill Gates is much luckier than others

57.It can be seen from Paragraph5that Gladwell’s book_____

A.has become quite influential

B.is beginning to influence Obama’s policies

C.has received severe criticisms

D.assumes that people just pursue maximum profits

58.According to the author,the most fundamental individual power is_____

A.individual will

B.control of attention

C.a good character

D.exceptional creativity

59.The author believes that individual greatness is more closely related to_____.

A.social forces and genes

B.good luck and education

C.individual character and creativity

D.individual genes and good education

60.This passage is probably a_____

A.book review

B.book report

C.political essay

D.news report

Passage One

前几天，儿子问我他是否可以骑车去学校会他的朋友。他希望他们俩可以一起骑车回来，然后在家玩电子游戏，一起在蹦床上玩耍。我必须承认，其实我很想说不。我想我其实可以开车去接他的朋友，或者他的父母可以送他过来。可是，儿子今年十一岁了，毕竟，我允许他骑车去学校，但是，同时我在开车送女儿上学的路上可以一路盯着儿子，以确保他安全的到达。

我丈夫认为我对儿子的保护太过谨慎。我并不在乎让我的孩子在没有我们陪伴的情况下

步行去任何地方。在我们这片地区附近的一条街道对面有一个购物中心。儿子老是问我他是否可以骑车或步行去商店。但是，穿过那条街道太危险了，街上的车子飞速的驶过仿佛是在赛车。如果他被撞了怎么办！如果一些小太保在停车场游荡怎么办！

我非常希望能够给与我的孩子们我在成长过程中享受过的自由。但是我却对是否应该这么做犹豫不决，因为在每一个街角都有太多的危险存在了。太多的诱拐案例发生，太多的性侵犯者。我在互联网上得知仅仅在我们这一片地方就有41个性侵犯者。

说句实话，我认为在我们年幼时，我的妈妈根本没有担心过此类事情。

20世纪70年代真是一个不同于现在的成长时期。我骑脚踏车时从来没有带过头盔。我们骑车或者步行在家附近的地方到处玩耍，回家吃过晚饭后，又跑出家门，直到天已漆黑才归家。我们在卡车后面骑车，不系安全带。每天我都是走路去学校，又从学校走路回家…

Passage Two

大约一个世纪前，人们不像今天的人那样热衷于学习一门外语。对本国语言的热爱成为学习外语的主要障碍的时代已经一去不复返了，在那个时代里大部分民族为自由而战，试图将他们的外来统治者赶出自己的国家。

人们为自己的母语感到骄傲并认为光凭他们的母语足以满足生存需要的时代也已过去了。如今，语言技能已经变得和其他商务技能和职业技能同样重要，例如：信息技术方面的技能，职业的或专业方面的技能。因此，对于个人来说，不管是为了职业，还是为了发展业务，又或是为了给人留下印象，学习一门外语已成为必需得做的事情。

目前，人们所需要的是学习外语的动力。现在有各种各样的教授人们学习诸如法语，德语，西班牙语和日语等不同外语的机构和课程。当今世界经济已经跨越了种族，性别，肤色和宗教的障碍，世界也变小了。成千上万的世界各地的企业通过在别的国家推进自己的业务来扩大和发展生意。网络的急速发展进一步加强了对语言技能的需要。加拿大明文规定，所有的商业机构都必须同时建立英语和法语的双语网站。这两种语言是加拿大的官方语言。

语言可以消除种族隔阂和国界。在国外，如果你知道那个国家的语言，并且能用它来交谈，你会更加受到欢迎。你立即就会受到他们的尊重，他们认为你和他们一样的重视他们的语言，

因为在任何文化中，语言是重要的身份认证。

Passage Three

你也许会有些奇怪，为什么超市都是一样的。并不是因为这些公司缺乏想象力。而是因为他们的目的都是说服人们去购买商品。

在超市里，我们需要一段时间去进入购买商品的状态。这就是为什么入口区有“减压区”的美誉。人们需要慢下来看一看，尽管他们已经是这里的常客了。从销售方面讲，这个地方多少算是一种损失，所以商家更多的是把这个地方用作促销。

进入超市后，顾客立即要去的地方也许就是鲜果蔬区。对于顾客来说，这是无意识的。果蔬很容易会受到损坏，（对于顾客来说），因此在购物过程中，果蔬应该留到最后去购买，而不是开始时。但是（把果蔬放在这里）为什么会有效果呢？事实证明，选择新鲜果蔬是开始购物的一种方式，（因为）稍后他们还会购买一些不健康食品，这会使顾客不会太自责。

顾客深谙像牛奶这样的日常用品总是会被放在后面的购物区，这样一来商家就会放更多的东西去吸引消费者。但是，商家也清楚，顾客早已知晓了这一规律，于是他们另辟蹊径，诸如他们会把一些热卖的商品放在一个购物区半途的货架上，以至于顾客得到中途的货架上才能找到他们想要的商品，这种方式是为了延长“驻留时间”：也就是顾客在商店消耗的时间长度。

传统的零售商会采取“足球”（进球数）来统计，因为进入商店的顾客数量是可知的，但是这些顾客不会告诉他们会去哪个区域购物，亦或是他们会花多长时间购物。当今，一项科学技术填补了这项空白：这项科学技术即移动电话。也就是（利用）路径情报，一家英国公司在朴次茅斯一个叫做“冈沃夫码头”的大型零售店跟踪了顾客的手机，不是监听呼叫的电话内容，而是绘制出手机信号出现的位置并自动把这些数据传送到移动网络平台上，结果证明，当在超市的驻留时间增长1%时，销售额也随之增长1.3%

由于对顾客的选择所做出的更深度的了解，像跟踪移动手机这样的科学技术越来越受到追捧，顾客告诉研究人员，他们对于以下行为都能做出很理智的选择，比如买什么，或是在购买一件商品时所考虑的因素诸如价格，同类商品的选择性以及便利性等。但是，由于潜意识的力量，这里包含情感和大脑记忆的因素，都会在购物中发挥明显的作用。

Passage Four

地球日益增长的居住人口问题是一个突出性的世界难题。如果人口按照目前的速度继续增长，有限的土地及其资源很快就将难以支撑如此庞大的人口所需。

那么，为什么会形成如此大规模的人口增长呢？这确是由于知识的普及以及人们对目前被称为“人口死亡控制”的行为所引起的。毋庸置疑，你一定听说过“计划生育”这个名词。“人口死亡控制”是更为困难的一件事。它认可了医生和科学家的工作成果，这些成果使得那些本来将死于各种各样当时无法治愈疾病的人们能得以延续生命。通过大量对包括耕作方式以及对致命疾病的控制等方面的技术革新，我们已经找到多种降低人口死亡率的方法。但是，正是这些成功带来了人类面临最大的威胁。

如果我们看一看能够为日渐增长的人口利用的土地资源的数量，我们就能开始正视这个问题。如果地球陆地能够均分的话，那么我们每个人将拥有大约50000平方米的面积。

这个数字看起来让人精神振奋，然而，如果我们审视一下我们真正可以利用的土地资源的话就不是这个样子了。大约有五分之三的世界陆地面积是不能生产食物的。

显而易见，我们只有如此少量的土地来为我们提供资源，我们应该及尽全力保护它阻止它进一步缩小。但是，我们不是这样做的！取而代之的是，我们正在消耗它---它不可再生的化石燃料和其他矿物资源历经数百万年才积累沉淀形成，然而人类在数十年间就能将之用完。对于其他一些很宝贵的，但是我们通常认为是可再生的资源，比如肥沃的土壤，地下水以及数百万与人类共同生活在地球上的其他物种，我们也同样在毁坏他们。

人们普遍认为，人口激增的问题主要是由生活在贫困国家那些由于缺乏人口生育计划意识的贫困人群所造成的。这并不符合现实。一个地区实际人口数与他们对自然环境产生的影响不是成正比的。发展中国家确实是对他们的环境有所影响，然而从总体来说，富裕国家人口给地球带来更大的影响。

Passage Five

每一天，你都被外力影响着。基因会影响你的智力，决定你是不是愿意冒险。社会潜在的动力因素会左右你的选择，你脑中自发的观念会在你还没有察觉的时候就做出中性的反应。令人振奋的是，在过去几年，科学家已经发现了这些深层的模块是怎样影响人的日常生活的。

格雷威尔将这些发现带到众人面前。

格雷威尔非常确定地宣称，有的人比别人有更多的机会。比尔盖茨在信息革命刚刚兴起时就捧着自己的电脑幸运地入读一家大型私立学校。

奥巴马时代的评论家视格雷威尔的书是对行动的一种号召。假定人们都是彼此冷淡、理智地思考、将利益扩大化的个体，那么最终，决策者将反对基于这种猜测制定出的政策。他们会更关注那些有助于人际关系、社会交往以及文明进步的政策措施。

然而，我不禁感觉到格雷威尔一派人都只是关注到这一发现的消极面，却没有注意到社会外力不再作用而个人自我创造萌发点的存在。

大部分成功人士得益于两点：未来会比当前好；我有创造未来的力量。他们有好运浇灌，但关键时刻还是依赖于个人意志。这些人也有杰出的能力有意识地集中精神。注意力集中是人最根本的能力，能够做到这一点的人并不像他们周围的人那样是外界刺激的俘虏，他们能够从世界模型中选择用以延长他们的时间范围。

格雷威尔的社会决定论忽视了个人性格和创造力的重要性。这一理论并不能充分解释人文天才真正的伟大之处。如同传统社会学者所理解的，个体创造伟大成绩的范例比任何其它的教育形式都要可靠得多。

2010年考研英语二真题全文翻译超详解析

2010 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语（二）试题答案与解析 Section I Use of English 一、文章题材结构分析 本文是取材于新闻报道，叙述了猪流感的爆发，产生的严重影响以及政府采取的针对性措施。首段和第二段简 述了猪流感的爆发引起世界各国的重视。第三段引用专家的观点，认为瘟疫并不严重。第四段和第五段以墨西哥及 美国的情况为例，说明了猪流感的严重性和致命性。第六段叙述了联邦政府针对猪流感的具体措施。 二、试题解析 1.【答案】D 【解析】上文提到“…was declared a global epidemic…”，根据declare 的逻辑（“宣布为”），可知应该选D 项 designated“命名，制定”，而不是C 项commented“评论”，这是典型的近义词复现题目。2．【答案】C 【解析】本题目可依据“句意”找到意思线索，选出答案，难度在于出处句是个长难句。本句的理解应该抓住alert、 meeting 和a sharp rise 三者的关系，根据after a sharp rise 可知是rise（“病例数的增加”）是meeting（“日内瓦专家 会议”）的原因，由此可推导出alert 并非是meeting 的原因，而是结果，即meeting 使得alert 升级。根据上述分析 可以排除B、D 选项，B 项activated“激活，激起”，D 项“促使，引起”，此两项的选择都在讲alert 导致了meeting 的召开。而C 项followed 意思是“紧随，跟在……之后”，体现出after 的逻辑，完全满足本句rise 之后是meeting， meeting 之后是alert 的逻辑，所以是正确项。而A 项proceeded“继续”，属不及物动词，不可接宾语，用法和逻辑 用在此处都不合适。 3．【答案】B 【解析】本题目应该关注并列连词and，从并列呼应来看：空格后的表达in Britain…对应前面的in Australia， 所以空格处rising _____ 应该对应a sharp rise in cases（“病例数的剧增”），因此空格处是“数量”的逻辑才对。A 项 digits“（阿拉伯）数字”，不表示数量，不能与rising 形成搭配；C 项amounts“数量”，常修饰不可数名词（此处指 的是cases，可数名词）；D 项sums“金额，款项”，不能用于表达“病例数”。B 项numbers “数量”，修饰可数名词（如： large numbers of cases 大量的病例），符合题意。 4．【答案】A 【解析】此处句子开头的“But”是重要的逻辑线索，与上文意思（第二段）形成对比反差。上文的关键性表达 如“heightened alert”、“emergency meeting”和“a sharp rise in cases”都在讲述猪流感的严重性，所以根据But 和in

Pre-numbered payroll checks should be used, and there should be independent verification of the agreement of the checks with the payroll register in detail and in total. Payroll checks should be distributed directly to employees, on proper identification, by treasurer's department personnel. The checks should not be returned to payroll for distribution since the payroll department would then have control over both preparing and paying the payroll. Alternatively, payroll checks may be deposited directly in the employee's checking account. Payment of employees in cash is the exception rather than the rule. This form of payment is more easily influenced by errors, irregularities, and robbery than payment by check. Following payment, check numbers are entered on the register, the preparation and payment of the payroll are programmed on a computer. A termination notice should be issued by the personnel department on the completion of an individual's employment with the company. Copies of the termination authorization should be sent to the employee's supervisor and to payroll, and a copy should be filed in the employee's personnel record. The proper execution of this function is vital in preventing terminated employees from continuing on the payroll. The subsequent diversion of such payroll checks to an unauthorized individual has been responsible for many payroll cheat through the years. Every company is expected to fulfill the legal requirements relevant to the filing of payroll tax returns and the payment of the resulting taxes. Ordinarily, the payroll department prepares the tax returns and a check is issued through the guarantor system in payment of the taxes. The responsibility for the filing of returns before due dates should be assigned to a payroll department supervisor. Furthermore, there should be independent verification within that department of the accuracy and completeness of the return. Effective control over tax returns is necessary to avoid penalties for late or incorrect filings.

同等学力考研英语-阅读理解-初级班-模拟题(含新题型)培训讲学

同等学力阅读理解模拟测试题 Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 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 You may have wondered why the supermarkets are all the same. It is not because the companies that run them lack imagination. It is because they all aim at persuading people to buy things. In the supermarket, it takes a while for the mind to get into a shopping mode. This is why the area immediately inside the entrance is known as the “decompression zone”. People need to slow down and look around, even if they are regulars. In sales terms this area is a bit of a loss, so it tends to be used more for promotion. Immediately inside the first thing shoppers may come to is the fresh fruit and vegetables section. For shoppers, this makes no sense. Fruit and Vegetables can be easily damaged, so they should be bought at the end, not the beginning, of a shopping trip. But what is at work here? It turns out that selecting good fresh food is a way to start shopping, and it makes people feel less guilty about reaching for the unhealthy stuff later on. Shoppers already know that everyday items, like milk, are invariably placed toward the back of a store to provide more opportunities to tempt customers. But supermarkets know shoppers know this, so they use other tricks, like placing popular items halfway along a section so that people have to walk all along the aisle looking for them. The idea is to boost “dwell time”: the length of time people spend in a store. Traditionally retailers measure “footfall”, as the number of people entering a store is known, but those numbers say nothing about where people go and how long they spend there. But nowadays, a piece of technology can fill the gap: the mobile phone. Path Intelligence, a British company tracked people’s phones at Gunwharf Quays, a large retail centre in Portsmouth- not by monitoring calls, but by plotting the positions of handsets as they transmit automatically to cellular networks. It found that when dwell time rose 1% sales rose 1.3%. Such techniques are increasingly popular because of a deepening understanding about how shoppers make choices. People tell market researchers that they make rational decisions about what to buy, considering things like price, selection or convenience. But subconscious forces, involving emotion and memories, are clearly also at work. 21. In Paragraph 2, “decompression zone” is the area meant to _____. A. offer shoppers a place to have a rest B. prepare shoppers for the mood of buying C. encourage shoppers to try new products D. provide shoppers with discount information 22. Putting fruit-and-vegetable section near the entrance takes advantage of shoppers’_____

同等学力英语阅读-知识点 真题 练习题

阅读知识点 四大明显设题原则 一、语言简化 语言简化是命题专家设置题干与四个选项时所必须遵守的一条重要原则。一般来说，一道题的四个选项不仅长度差不多，用词水平和语法难度也都差不多。此外，答案的文字难度一般低于文章本身，这也是对考生非常有利的一点，有时候甚至还可以通过选项中的答案来帮助理解原文。这是一个普遍的原则，现举例如下： 【例1】 Still, Jefferson freed Hemings’s children — though not Hemings herself or his approximately 150 other slaves. Washington, who had begun to believe that all men were created equal after observing the bravery of the black solders during the Revolutionary War, overcame the strong opposition of his relatives to grant his slaves their freedom in his will. Only a decade earlier, such an act would have required legislative approval in Virginia.40. Washington’s decision to free slaves originated from his [A] moral considerations. [B] military experience. [C] financial conditions. [D] political stand. 【解析】文中最后一段的“Washington, ...observing the bravery of the black soldiers during the Revolutionary War, ...grant his slaves their freedom in his will”明确指出华盛顿给奴隶自由的原因是他们在战争中的勇敢行为，[B]“军事经历”是对其高度地概括。 二、关键词替换 关键词替换是命题专家使用频率最高的原则。命题专家设置题目以及正确选项时一般都会用同义词或者近义词替代原文某个关键词。命题者有时候还会以和原文意思相同但是遣词造句不同的方式来设计正确答案，即用不同的话把原文的某个句子复述一遍，而错误答案反而往往看上去会与原文差不多，这个时候考生需要仔细阅读加以区别。 【例2】 Genetically speaking, there are advantages to avoiding substantial height. During childbirth, larger babies have more difficulty passing through the birth canal. Moreover, even though humans have been upright for millions of years, our feet and back continue to struggle with bipedal posture and cannot easily withstand repeated strain imposed by oversize limbs. “There are some real cons traints that are set by the genetic architecture of the individual organism,” says anthropologist William 33. On which of the following statements would the author most probably agree? [A] Non-Americans add to the average height of the nation. [B] Human height is conditioned by the upright posture. [C] Americans are the tallest on average in the world. [D] Larger babies tend to become taller in

同等学力英语备考阅读理解(含答案).

Passage 1 Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction.Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work.Today's corporation hire human engineering specialists and spend a considerable amount of time and money to make sure that the physical environments of buildings are fit to the activities of their inhabitants. Similarly, college classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.We are already in the twenty-first century，but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years.Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates.This assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious：Everything of importance comes from the teacher. With a little imagination and effort，unless desks are fixed to the floor，the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students.In small or standardized classes，chairs，desks，and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways：circles，U-shapes，or semicircles.The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone https://www.sodocs.net/doc/d54720873.html,rger classes，particular those held in lecture halls，unfortunately，allow much less flexibility. Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises.Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem.Even in large lecture halls，it is possible for students to turn around and form group of four to six.Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other，think out loud，and see how other students’ thinking processes operat e--all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking. In courses that regularly use a small group format，students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course.A colleague of mine allows students to move around during the first two weeks，until they find a group they are comfortable with.He then asks them to stay in the same seat，with the same group，from that time on.This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students’ names and faces. 1. According to the passage，proper arrangement of physical environment in a company _______.

2018同等学力申硕英语阅读理解答题技巧

2018同等学力申硕英语阅读理解答题技巧在职研究生目前已经成为了现在比较热门的教育形式，报考在职研究生不仅可以学到很多的专业知识，还能拿到与全日制研究生具有同等效力的证书，这让很多在职人员都有了报考在职研究生的打算。大家都知道同等学力申硕英语阅读理解是一个大的提分点。那么下面将为大家介绍一下2018同等学力申硕英语阅读理解答题技巧。希望对大家有帮助! 同等学力申硕英语阅读理解答题技巧主要分四步走： 第一步 初步了解：认真将阅读理解做完，时间可不予考虑，做完之后核对答案。 核对后看一下答案解析，看看自己做错的原因。第一遍最主要的目的是让自己对真题有一个初步的了解。知道真题是什么样的，真题的内容有多长，自己做的时候是什么感觉，至于正确率、错题原因、做题时间等都可以不必深究，大致了解便可。 第二步 钻研题目：再次认真将阅读理解做完，时间可不予考虑，做完之后核对答案。 答案核对之后，不要着急看下面的解析，自己先看看那些做错的题目，想一想做错的原因。然后再看解析，一定要弄清楚这道题为什么错了，是没有看懂原文的意思还是逻辑推导错误还是没有理解题干的问法还是粗心大意抑或其他?与

此同时，自己做对的题目也不要轻心无视，要分析自己是如何推导出答案的，对于那些幸运蒙对的题目，我想说，就把它当成错题处理吧，正确率降了没关系，五题错四题也没关系，只要你掌握了方法，还怕啥?这个阶段至关重要，所以得一题一题地过，一题一题地弄清楚，不能马虎，一定得仔细。这一遍开始就是对真题深入研究了，每一道题都需慎重对待，正确的如此，错误的尤其。 第三步 探寻意图：再次认真将阅读理解做完，时间要把握。 这个时候基本上看到题目就知道答案了，因为已经接触过两遍了，不过做题时分析的过程不能少，还是一步一步来，就当自己第一次看到这个题目。这个时候做对了很正常，做错了就得引起注意了，需要着重分析。不过做题分析题已经不是这一遍的核心了，这一遍需要做的事情就是在原文中找到每一道题目的答案的对应部分，比如这是一道细节题，你就到原文里找到这个细节在的地方，把它标注一下。当你把所有的题目的原文出处都标注出来后(当然，少数题目在原文是找不到出处的，没关系，少数部分，直接pass)，你就可以开始仔细研究他们的相似点了，比如转折处是出题人最爱出题的地方、特殊符号往往指引着你找到答案、需要翻译的单词或短语的前一句或前两句就是它的解释、每一道题目对应原文的相应段落等等。找出来的这些规律，也就是你下次考试做题时需要注意的地方了。 第四步

同等学力申硕英语备考经验汇总

在职研究生同等学力申硕英语备考经验汇总 一、复习方法篇 1、如何高效增加词汇量 1）不要背书 大部分人背书都是背了后面忘了前面，正襟危坐几个小时，其实记住的单词没几个，为什么？因为人的瞬时记忆力只能记忆5-7个东西，比如你妈妈叫你去买菜，七样以内你能记住，要是十几样你就得用笔记了。因此背书没用，那怎么办？就是分组背，记一组，测试一组，再记下一组。（刘毅的背单词的书就是按照这个原理来设计的） 2）不要用整段时间来背单词 我看过很多人的每日计划，什么几点到几点是背单词时间。这个没用，你花几个小时光背单词，记忆效率绝对很低，脑袋都木掉，合上书一个字也想不起来。一些英语牛人就一个背单词方法——小卡片。每天没事就拿出来看一下，坚持不懈，效果绝对好。 3）在遗忘临界点复习 有个伟大的艾宾浩斯记忆曲线，非常厉害，只要按照那个曲线在遗忘临界点复习，5次复习就可以终身不忘。可以在第1、2、5、15、30、60天把单词再重复看一遍！ 4）语境记忆 背单词绝对不能没有例句，中文的一个词你可以对他有很多种解释，英文也一样，如果没有例句帮你体会单词用法，光背词意在真正阅读的时候一定会抓瞎。（刘毅的背单词的书每个单词都有例句） 5）巧用学习工具 现在科技发达，学习工具很多，巧加利用才能事半功倍。我用的是Nokia N73手机，里面有英汉词典，遇到不懂的单词随时用来查，同时也可以把一些单词作为提示有空的时候拿来看。 6）背记单词必须和做真题结合起来 因为单词必须得放到文章中能够认知才叫记住了单词这样单词的记忆会达到事半功倍的效果。传统的每天只是拿着单词书死记硬背是不科学的也是效率最低的。

在单词有了进步之后，你会发现不管是汉译英还是英译汉都不在害怕。但是前提仍然是，多多练习。熟能生巧，翻译多了，跟好的翻译答案对照之后，你会发现好多“的字结构”“使字结构”“无主句”等等之类的句子其实翻译方法是很有章可循的，翻译多了，你会知道什么情况下用被动结构，什么情况下用强调结构，这些能力的前提是必须得多多练习。 2、疯狂做往年的真题并且做后花长时间认真分析 认真做每年的真题，尤其是一些有考验经验的人推荐的真题。争取三天一套，做的时候要卡着时间。做完后要理科对照着正确答案认真分析。做完一套真题可能只需要三个小时的时间，但是做完之后的分析却需要6个小时。所以按照在职学习人的时间来算，三天做一套真题节奏刚好。即便是你做过一遍之后，答案已经背下来了，也仍然要认认真真地做真题，把真题的阅读理解和完形填空作为精读的材料去认真详细地分析每一个句子，攻下你在真题里碰到的每一个生词。 做真题有几大好处，一是通过反复做真题，你可以记住大纲里80%的单词；二是通过反复做真题，你可以熟悉阅读理解完形填空的文章风格和真题出题思路，到考试的时候才不会不适应，尤其是近5年的试题；三是真题的阅读理解其实就是很好很地道的说明文和议论文，熟读之后你会发现里面有好多很精美很地道的句子，拿来用到自己的作文里非常的出彩。三是通过精读真题的阅读理解和完形填空，基本上你第二卷的英译汉已经不成问题了。（第二卷的作文和英译汉通过做真题完全可以搞定了）。 3、针对09新大纲复习对策 今年的英语考试大纲试卷一考试内容与以往相比，去掉了辨识错误部分，保留了会话技能、词汇、阅读理解、综合填空4部分内容。也就是说在考试时间不变的情况下，考试内容减少，试卷难度也就相应降低，对考生而言是好消息。以往，辨错题是试卷中唯一直接考查语法结构题目，新大纲调整后，考生就不需要记忆细小语法知识，更利于考生的英语复习。 专家认为辨识错误部分的5分可能会加到阅读理解部分或词汇部分。根据新大纲中的样题看，2009年英语考试阅读理解部分分值预计会增加，由25分变成30分，题目数量也相应从25个增至30个。同时，新大纲删除500多个旧词增加1220多个新词和50个常用词组。词汇量要求提高预示着今年的英语水平考试难度可能比以往会加大。 面对新大纲词汇量增加的问题，考生可以采用像滚雪球一样的方法记忆。在复习词汇时，首先从掌握大学英语四六级考试要求的词汇入手，每天定时定量地完成背诵内容，第二天，将学过的单词默写几遍，以加深印象。这个阶段大概需要3个月的时间，然后进入背诵考研词汇阶段，考生可选择一本考研核心词汇作为辅助记忆参考书。但是不要认为单词一遍就记住了，记单词的关键是重复记忆。按照记忆曲线，记忆7次一般就差不多记住了，但是还有很少的一部分单词不能记住。他在记完7次以后，把仍然记不住的单词抄在卡片上。正面写着英文单词、词性、音标；背面写着意思、助记法等。
