. The first two stages in the development of civilized man were probably the invention of

primitive weapons and the discovery of fire, although nobody knows ex actly when he acquired the

use of _31_. The 32 of language is also obscure. No doubt it bega n very gradually. Animals have a few

cries that serve 33 signals, 34 even the highest apes have not been found able to pronounce words, 35 with the most intensive profess ional instruction. The superior brain of man is apparently 36 for th e mastering of speech. When man became sufficiently intelligent, we m ust suppose that he 37 the number of cries for different purposes . It was a great day 38 he discovered that speech could be used for narrative. There are those who think that 39 picture

language preceded oral language. A man 40 a picture on the wall o f his cave to show 41 direction he had gone, or42 prey he hope

be successfully practiced. 48 were, at first, only those in which na ture fertilized the soil 49 each harvest. Agriculture met with violen t resistance from the pastoral nomads, but the agricultural way of l ife prevailed in the end 50 the physical comforts it provided.

Part IV Reading

Comprehension (50%)

Directions:

Read the following four passages. Answer the questions below each pas sage by

choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answer on the Answer Sheet

. Passage 1

The ideal companion machine –the computer –would not only look, feel, and sound friendly

but would also be programmed to behave in a pleasant manner. Those qualities that make

interaction with other people enjoyable would be imitated as closely as possible, and the machine

would appear to be charming, and easygoing. Its informal conversationa l style would make

interaction comfortable, and yet the machine would remain slightly unp redictable and therefore

interesting. In its first encounter it might be somewhat hesitant, bu t as it came to know the user it

would progress to a more relaxed and intimate style. The machine wou ld not be a passive

participant but would add its own suggestions, information, and opinio ns; it would sometimes take

the initiative in developing or changing the topic and would have a personality of its own.

Friendships are not made in a day, and the computer would be more acceptable as a friend if

it imitated the gradual changes that occur when one person is gettin g to know another. At an

appropriate time it might also express the kind of affection that st imulates attachment and intimacy.

The whole process would be accomplished in a subtle way to avoid gi ving an impression of

over-familiarity that would be likely to produce irritation. After exp eriencing a wealth of powerful,

well-timed friendship indicators, the user would be very likely to ac cept the computer as far more

than a machine and might well come to regard it as a friend.

An artificial relationship of this type would provide many of th e benefits that people obtain

from interpersonal friendships. The machine would participate in intere sting conservation that

could continue from previous discussions. It would have a familiarity with the user’s life as

revealed in earlier contact, and it would be understanding and good-h umored. The computer’s own

personality would be lively and impressive, and it would develop in response to that of the user.

With features such as these, the machine might indeed become a very attractive social partner.

51. Which of the following is NOT a feature of the ideal companion machine?

A. Active in communication.

B. Attractive inpersonality.

C. Enjoyable in performance.

D. Unpredicta ble in behavior.

52. The computer would develop friendships with humans in a(n) ______ __ way.

A. quick

B. unpredictable

C. productive

D. inconspicuous

53. Which of the following aspects is NOT mentioned when the passage discusses the benefits of

artificial relationships?

A. Being able to pick up an interesting conversation.

B. Being sensitive to earlier contract.

C. Being ready to learn about the person’s life.

D. Having a pleasant and adaptable personality.

54. Throughout the passage, the author is ________ in his attitude t oward the computer.

A. favourable

B. critical

C. vague

D. hesitant

55. Which might be the most appropriate title of the passage?

A. Artificial relationships.

B. How to form intimate relationships.

C. The affectionate machine.

D. Humans and computers.

Passage 2

The uniqueness of the Japanese character is the result of two seemingly contradictory forces: the strength of traditions and select ive receptivity to foreign achievements and inventions. As early as t he 1860s, there were counter movements to the traditional orientation. Yukichi Fukuzawa the most eloquent spokesman of Japan’s “Enlightenment”, claimed “The Confucian civilization of the East seems to me to lack two things possessed by Western civilization: sc ience in the material sphere and a sense of independence in the spi ritual sphere.”Fukuzawas great influence is found in the free and individualistic philosophy of the Education Code of 1872, but he was not able to prevent the government from turning back to the canons of Confucian thought in the Imperial Rescript of 1890. Another inte rlude of relative liberalism followed World War I, when the democrati c idealism of President Woodrow Wilson had an important impact on Ja panese intellectuals and, especially students: but more important was the Leninist ideology of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Again in the early 1930s, nationalism and militarism became dominant, largely as a result of failing economic conditions.

Following the end of World War II, substantial changes were u

ndertaken in Japan to liberate the individual from authoritarian restr aints. The new democratic value system was accepted by many teachers, students, intellectuals, and old liberals, but it was not immediatel y embraced by the society as a whole. Japanese traditions were domin ated by group values, and notions of personal

freedom and individual rights were unfamiliar.

Today, democratic processes are clearly evident in the widespre ad participation of the Japanese people in social and political life: yet, there is no universally accepted and stable value system. Valu es are constantly modified by strong infusions of Western ideas, both democratic and Marxist. School textbooks expound democratic principles , emphasizing equality over hierarchy and rationalism over tradition; but in practice these values are often misinterpreted and distorted, particularly by the youth who translate the individualistic and humani stic goals of democracy into

egoistic and materialistic ones.

Most Japanese people have consciously rejected Confucianism, but vestiges of the old order

remain. An important feature of relationships in many institutions suc h as political parties, large corporations, and university faculties i s the oyabun-kobun or parent-child relation. A party leader, superviso r, or professor, in return for loyalty, protects those subordinate to him and takes general responsibility for their interests throughout their entire lives, an obligation that sometimes even extends to arra nging marriages. The corresponding loyalty of the individual to his p atron reinforces his allegiance to the group to which they both belo ng. A willingness to cooperate with other members of the group and to support without qualification the interests of the group in all i ts external relations is still a widely respected virtue. The oyabun-kobun creates ladders of mobility which an individual can ascend, ris

ing as far as abilities permit, so long as he maintains successful personal ties with a superior in the vertical channel, the latter re quirement usually taking

precedence over a need for exceptional competence. As a consequence, there is little horizontal relationship between people even within the same profession.

56. The author is mainly concerned with

A. explaining the influence of Confucianism on modern Japan

B. analyzing the reasons for Japan’s postwar economic success

C. discussing some important determinants of Japanese values

D. describing managerial practices in Japanese industry

57. Which of the following is most like the relationship of the oya bun-kobun described in the

passage?

A. A political candidate and the voting public.

B. A gifted scientist and his student

C. Two brothers who are partners in a business

D. A judge presiding at the trial of a criminal defendant

58. According to the passage, Japanese attitudes are influenced by th

e following factors except

________.

A. democratic ideals.

B. elements of modern Western culture.

C. remnants of an earlier social structure.

D. prewar ec onomic success.

59. It can be inferred that the Imperial Rescript of 1890

A. was a protest by liberals against the lack of individual libe rty in Japan.

B. marked a return in government policies to conservative values

C. implemented the ideals set forth in the Education Code of 187

2.

D. was influenced by the Leninist ideology of the Bolshevik Revol ution.

60. The tone of the passage can best be described as

A. neutral and objective

B. critical and demand ing

C. enthusiastic and supportive

D. skeptical and ques tioning

Passage 3

A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict the way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behavior. He must obtain data both on resources

of consumers and on the motives that tend to encourage or discourage money spending.

If an economist were asked which of three groups borrow most –people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomes –he would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947-1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable inco mes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumptions ab out earning and spending are not always reliable. Another traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go u p, they will postpone

buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true . The expectations of price increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an inte rview at a time of rising prices, “In a few months,”she said, “we’ll have to pay more for meat and milk; we’

ll have less to spend on other things.”Her family had been planni

中央财经大学考博英语阅读模拟题精解

中央财经大学考博英语阅读模拟题精解As is the case in many cultures,the degree to which a minority group was seen as different from the characteristics of the dominant majority determined the extent of that group’s acceptance. Immigrants who were like the earlier settlers were accepted.The large numbers of immigrants with significantly different characteristics tended to be viewed as a threat to basic American values and the American way of life. This was particularly true of the immigrants who arrived by the million during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Most of them came from poverty-stricken nations of southern and Geng duo yuan xiao wan zheng zhen ti ji qi jie xi qing lian xi quan guo mian fei zi xun dian hua:si ling ling liu liu ba liu jiu qi ba,huo jia zi xun qq:qi qi er liu qi ba wu san qi eastern Europe.They spoke languages other than English,and large numbers of them were Catholics or Jews. Americans at the time were very fearful of this new flood of immigrants.They were afraid that these people were so accustomed to lives of poverty and dependence that they would not understand such basic American values as freedom,self-reliance and competition. There were so many new immigrants that they might even change the basic values of the nation in undesirable ways. Americans tried to meet what they saw as a threat to their values by offering English instruction for the new immigrants and

【最新】我的2019中国人民大学经济学考博经验,中国人民大学初试复试难度详解!

我的2019人大经济学考博经验，人大初试复试难度详解！ 2018-2019年的考博之路已经告一段落，自己成功考上了中国人民大学经济学院政治经济学专业的博士。记得自己是从2018年十一长假之后正式开始了我的复习考博历程，现总结人大考博札记，供日后考博人大的学弟学妹们参考。 首先说明一点，人大很公平。自己没有老师推荐，是自行联系导师，没有人脉没有关系，完全靠自己考上了人大的博士。因为本人参加了不止人大这一个学校的考试，相比其他省市的其他学校而言，人大是比较公平的。如果你的初试是第一名，人大是一定会要你的（除非有很明显的缺陷），人大非常重视初试排名，所以你的一切努力重点都应该放在初试上。 一、关于联系导师及注意事项 每个博士生导师手里的名额很有限，所以报考博士前必须先跟你要报考的老师联系，看他手里是否还有名额，一般来说导师不想要你他是不会让你报名的，事先给导师打个电话或发个E-mail（网站上一般都会有联系地址），介绍一下你

的情况。特别是你硕士阶段研究的方向和取得的成绩，并表示你愿意成为他的学生并努力学术。 首先，建议第一封e-mail主要内容是关于个人介绍：年龄、求学经历、学术成果、工作经历等，主要目的就是让导师通过这封e-mail对一个陌生的同学能够有个全面的认识和了解。 把第一印象做好，为以后的进一步联系作准备。其次，关于信的内容可以简要的谈谈自己对未来所报考导师，实验室和课题的了解和理解，让导师能够真实的感受到你的诚心、信心和决心。再次，主要是表达一下自己报考的强烈愿望，因为大家也知道好多同学联系了很多的导师和学校，最后报考的也是其中的很少几个。 联系博导需注意以下几点： 1.要了解他的基本学术观点和学术著作。以免导师提起他的著作时，我们一无所知。尽量多了解他的论著，也为以后的考试做打算。 2.多种联系方式并用。比如说第一次打电话老师记住你的名字了，第二次很可能就忘了。那我觉得还可以写e-mail，还可以写写信，传统的联系方式或许更能打动导师

中央财经大学考博英语阅读理解真题解析American social scientist Lewis Henry Morgan introduced another theory of cultural evolution in the late1800s.Morgan,along with Tylor,was one of the founders of modern anthropology.In his work, he attempted to show how all aspects of culture changed together in the evolution of societies.42._____________. In the early1900s in North America,German-born American anthropologist Franz Boas developed a new theory of culture known as historical particularism.Historical particularism,which emphasized the uniqueness of all cultures,gave new direction to anthropology.43._____________. Boas felt that the culture of any society must be understood as the result of a unique history and not as one of many cultures belonging to a broader evolutionary stage or type of culture. 44._______________. （PS:The way to contact yumingkaobo TEL:si ling ling-liu liu ba-liu jiu qi ba QQ:772678537) Historical particularism became a dominant approach to the study of culture in American anthropology,largely through the influence of many students of Boas.But a number of anthropologists in the early 1900s also rejected the particularist theory of culture in favor of diffusionism.Some attributed virtually every important cultural achievement to the inventions of a few,especially gifted peoples that, according to diffusionists,then spread to other cultures. 45.________________.
