PartⅡReading Comprehension (40%)

Read the following passage and answer the questions by choosing A, B, C or D.

Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET (2 points each).

Passage One

It might be easier to do something about North Korea's nuclear truculence if we could make head or tail of the cryptic videos it has been posting on the web. The latest shows a dreaming man, some Korean script and a video of rockets flying through space while fires burn in skyscrapers and a pianist plays “We Are the World” at dirge tempo.Is this a harmless fantasy? A thrown-down gauntlet? Should the west respond with a statement? Should it post a video of its own? It is hard to know. Our traditional media are being “replaced” by the internet. But the "information”conung out of the information economy is often hard to decipher, and composed for purposes that are hard to discern. The film academic Stephen Apkon argues in The Age of the Image , published this week, that it is possible to speak of a new kind of literacy, one built on figuring out such non-yerbal messages. At its humbles t level, his book is about the “language”of film, but Mr Apkon has alarger philosophical point, too. Our culture is growing more global. While it still relies on words, they are increasingly wrapped up with images, and it is the images people remember. Elizabeth Daley, dean of the University of Southern California's School of anematic Arts, believes writing today is like Latin on the eve of the Renaissance - the language of a scholarly establishment. YouTube clips and other visuals are the equivalent of vernacular Italian. They are the street language, and the medium for much new and creative thinking.

Images have always mattered in public arguments more than we admit. Few people cared that Richard Nixon won the 1960 presidential debates against John Kennedy, so unkempt did the Republicanlook. Mr Apkon quotes a neuroscientist who says people are so attuned to picking up subtle signals that they make decisions about whether they like or dislike politicians “immediately”. And unsubtle, non-verbal messages with a great emotional wallop can now be broadcast more widely. Video of the shooting of Neda Agha-Soltan, captured during June 2009 protests against irregular Iranian elections, spread round the world. In the gut-wrenching Kony 2012 video (100m views in six days), American activists sought to enlist the US military in a manhunt for a Ugandan warlord. Eyesight is the most trusted sense, Mr. Apkon notes, and that means we need to be careful with it. There is a standing danger that the public will grow so upset by images of mistreatment that it will demand the government send the army off to war. This is arguably what happened Somalia in 1992, with America's poorly planned military response to the African country’s famine. In future, Mr. Apkon says, we are likely to need "a combination of scepticism and incisiveness", enabling citizens to "[critique] what is put in front of them with some level of sophistication".

That is unlikely. When the passions provoked by visual imagery lead to the same conclusion as the logic of a verbal argument, people are generally comfortable coming to

a decision. But when passion and logic are at odds, one ofthem must be favoured.

Until recently, it was the essence of statesmanship, scholarship and justice to purge strong emotion from our deliberations. Images today, though, are so plentiful and sharp that they dominate our thought processes. Although Mr. Apkon relishes the immediacy of YouTube, he fears that political advertisers will soon be able to craft stories around "hidden mentalhungers", easily manipulating voters.

Cituzens tend to think about voting in one of two ways, First, you base your vote on your identity. You are a farmer, so you choose the candidate best disposed towards farmers. The second theory is that you vote on arguments, independent of identity. You believe a sales tax should replace income tax, so you vote for the candidate who shares that opinion. But today’s image-based communication has little to do with identity or arguments. It has to do with the lowest-common-denominator traits that mark you as a human animal.

There is no obvious solution. Even if we acquire the scepticism Mr. Apkon speaks of, certain institutions "go with" cefttain styles of perceiving, absorbing and interpreting information. You would not think that there was anything "Protestant" about the printing press. And yet the press seems to have been a prerequisite for Protestantism's rise. Likewise, our own democracies, imperfect though they may be, are the culnunation of the culture of the written word. Mr. Apkon notes how Kennedy, in those 1960 debates, "tapped into a lever in the psyche more primal than mere facts",

In retrospect, that was an ominous moment. Once you find that lever, isn't democracy bound to lose a bit of its appeal, rather like a detective story in which you have been told the ending?

1. Which of the following is INCORRECT according to the author?

A. Images do not always matterin public arguments more than we admit

B. Videos on political issues are the most popular among all.

C. Videos carrying messages with a great emotional wallop can attract attention.

Passage Two

One November evening in 1989 I was loafing in my room at university when a friend began thumping on the door. "What is it? " I shouted irritably. "The Berlin Wall just fell, " he shouted back. For months afterwards I walked around in a daze of wonder, as crowds ransacked secret-police headquarters and Nelson Mandela walked out of jail. Two lines from Wordsworth about the French Revolution, which I'd read in some article about the 1989 revolutions, kept goirtg through my mind:

Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,

But to be young was very heaven!

It was the most optimistic political moment I've lived through, my generation's version of 1945 or 1968 6

Now we're at the peak of political pessimism. The political year is opening with almost nobody on either right or left expecting anything good. The great questions seem to be: how will an intervention in Syria go wrong? And will the US House of Representatives vote to repeal "Obamacare" for the 41st time? 7 The utopian urge persists; it has just migrated from politics to technology. Instead of developing a political policy to solve a problem, people now develop an app.

In politics, you can hardly count all the lights that have failed since the invasion of Iraq a decade ago. Faith in unregulated capitalism died with Lehman Brothers. Then Barack Obama, the Occupy movements and the Tea Party all rapidly disappointed their followers. In 2009 in Copenhagen, it became clear the world wouldn't agree to combat climate change. Now the Arab spring is eating its o wn children, the Russian demonstrators have gone home, and hardly anyone believes in the European project any more. 8 , even before its intellectual underpinning was revealed as an academic paper whose authors had accidentally left important bits of data off their spreadsheet.

The western liberating impulse - previously directed at Iraq, Iran and Cuba - has died too. Myanmar finally opened up, and ethnic conflict promptly began. Even people who believed in al-Qaeda are now presumably disillusioned.

It’s hard to find a self-proclaimed political messiah anywhere: Hugo Chávez is dead, and Fidel Castro himself says Cuba's revolution has failed. Politicians have been reduced to celebrities who can gain our attention only with Anthony Weineresque private antics.

9 Meanwhile a rash of TV series like House of Cards, Veep and The Thick of lt portray politics as a greedy, narcissistic pursuit. No wonder political parties are shedding members at record speed. The last emotion that still animates lots of western voters is rage at immigrants - an archetypal expression of pessimism. Andrew Adonis, leading thinker of the UK's Labour party, says: "We're in one of those periods like the 1970s where politicians manifestly don't have the answers. "

But meanwhile a group of people has stood up who do claim to have answers: Technologists. In 2007, just as western economies began to crumble, Apple launched the iPhone. 10 . The latter took time to decide how to use their new might. Nicole Boyer, director of the Adaptive Edge consultancy in San Francisco, explains:“Tech was late to the game for social problems. It took a generation of tech entrepreneurs to make money and then say, 'OK, what are we going to do?'”Now they are busy remaking the world: Google's Eric Schmidt negotiates with North Korea, Jeff Bezos tries to save newspapers, Mark Zuckerberg plots to get the world's poor online and Bill Gates fights infectious disease. “They have something of the white knight about them,”muses Adonis. “There is a profound tech-optinusm.”

In this budding tech-utopia, govemment scarcely features. Great technological achievements of the past - the atomic bomb, the moon landing and even the internet - began within the US government. Today, whether people like government or loathe it, they mostly ignore it.

Choose the following sentences marked A to E to complete the above artticle.

6_____________7____________8_____________9_____________10_____________

A. Austerity became the latest light to fail

B. Since then, credibility has kept leaching from politicians to techies

C. Strangely, it actually turned out pretty well

D. But hope springs eternal

E. Mandela on his deathbed still towers over today’s lot

Passage Three

Where do pesticides fit into the picture of environmental disease? We have seen that they now pollute soil, water, and food, that they have the power to make our streams fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may contrary, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly distributed throughout our world?

We know that even single exposures to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough, can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and others exposed to sufficient quantities of pesticides are very sad and should not occur. For the population as a whole,

we must be more concerned with the delayed effects of absorbing small amounts of the pesticides that invisibly pollute our world.

Responsible public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are cumulative over long periods of time, and that the danger to the indnadual may depend on the sum of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasorts the danger is easily ignored. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a threat of future disaster. "Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs," says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, "yet some of their worst enemies slowly approach them unnoticed."

11. Wluch of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence "Man, ...is part of nature." (Para.1)?

A. Man appears indifferent to what happens in nature.

B. Man acts as if he does not belong to nature.

C. Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution.

D. Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental protection.

12. What is the author's attitude towards the environmental effects ofpesticides?

A. Pessimistic

B. Indifferent.

C. Defensive.

D. Concerned.

13. In the author's view, the sudden death caused by exposure to large amounts of Pesticides_________.

A. is not the worst of the negative consequences resulting from the use of pesticides

B. now occurs most frequently among all accidental deaths

C. has sharply increased so as to become the center of public attention

D. is unavoidable because people can't do without pesticides in farming

14. People tend to ignore the delayed effects of exposure to chemicals because_______.

A.limited exposure to them does little harm to people's health

B. the present is more important for them than the future

C. the danger does not become apparent immediately

D. humans are capable of withstanding small amounts of poisoning

15. It can be concluded from Dr Dubos' remarks that

A. people find invisible diseases difficult to deal with

B. attacks by hidden enemies tend to be fatal

C. diseases with obvious signs are easy to cure

D. people tend to overlook hidden dangers caused by pesticides

Passage Four

Since 2011, when Stanford University launched its first "massive open online courses", these free, internet-enabled programmes have cropped up everywhere, engaging millions of users. The largest Mooc providers - Coursera, Udemy, Udacity, and EdX - offer free tuition, supplied by universities,often to hundreds of thousands of students at a time. But just a year after Moocs really started taking off, offering the promise of real disruption to the centuries-old higher-education business, user growth has started to slow.

Until May this year, visitors to Moocs were increasing rapidly. But since then the picture has become markedlyless rosy. Over the past quarter the major Mooc providers in the US have seen stagnation or slowing growth in visitor numbers. The "summer slump" across the education sector might normally explain this kind of drop. However, this comes even as the major platforms have supplemented their offerings with more new courses and high-profile partner universities.

The decline, however, has not been universal, and exceptions to the trend may offer hints about how the market for Moocs could develop. Available data on visits to the major Mooc sites between November 2012 and August 2013 indicate that visits from India have doubled over the past nine months. India still has only about a third the number of Mooc users as the US. But that still makes it the largest market for Moocs outside America, even though it has only a fraction of the broadband penetration. As a largely English-speaking country, India illustrates how Moocs might develop in emerging markets if more content was available in Vietnamese, Mandarin, Indonesian or Portuguese.

Furthermore, Indian Mooc users include a higher proportion of younger people, even controlling for India's large youth population: more than 80 per cent of Indian visitors to Mooc sites are under 34, while US and European visitors are fairly evenly spread across age groups. Indians also spend roughly five times as long as average visitors on Mooc sites.

Why India? It may be because India has the largest population of university-age students in the world (94m and growing), while higher education in India is inadequate in quantity and quality due to poor govemment regulation and corruption. With 17m students in higher education, India has one of the world's lowest higher-education enrolment ratios, even among developing nations.

Young Indians' enthusiasm for Moocs shows that there is an appetite for higher education, with or without sufficient supply of physical seats. But what is surprising is that Indians should be so motivated to visit Moocs when they are not yet accredited. You still cannot get a qualification from a Mooc. So are Moocs only aspirational for young Indians - the equivalent of flipping through a glossy university catalogue - or could they, in combination with targeted assessments, deliver tangible benefits to students and reap a retum in exchange for outcomes delivered?

Many Mooc providers are already bundling courses into "packages" that roughly correspond to short certificated programmes. Universities still fear offering Mooc degrees,

which could cannibalise fee-paying courses. But that will not stop ambitious education providers in emerging markets such as India offering real-world qualifications.

So Moocs could indeed be a disruptive development in emerging markets - where the majority of the world's youth reside. India lacks higher-education places but foreign universities face barriers to entry, So why not tap the Indian market through Moocs in combination with targeted assessments?

While it is unlikely that Moocs will dramatically change the economics of going to college for an American teenager, Moocs could be transformative in markets where there is not enough capacity to meet demand for university education. Just as some developing countries have bypassed fixed-line telephony for mobile solutions, Moocs could help developing countries to leapfrog the bricks-and-mortar model of higher education. And universities might be able to do well from them: for higher education, the fortune may indeed be at the bottom of the pyramid.

16. Which of the following is TRUE about MOOC?

A. Mooc was first launched by Havard University.

B. High-profile universities are not interested.

C. User number is growing rapidly especially in US.

D. India now ranks the second in terms of the MOOC market.

17. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the author?

A. India's internet penetration is quite high.

B. India is a largely English-speaking country.

C. India has a huge supply and demand problem of education.

D. India's higher education system is poorly developed.

18. Whatis the biggest bottleneck ofMOOC?

A. It lacks enough funding since it's free.

B. It cannot provide qualifications.

C. Universities would not offer high-profile courses.

D. It stops expanding in the developed world.

19. Which of the following is NOT MENTIONED according to the passage?

A. Provide courses in Chinese and other languages as well.

B. Try to combine courses with targeted assessments.

C. Develop courses on mobile platforms.

D. Bypass bricks-and-mortar schools.

20. Which of the following might be the best tide for this passage?

A. Mooc witnesses its fastest development in the past several years.

B. Moocs might matter even more in emerging markets.

C. Mooc will be better developed if it uses the globallanguage of English.

D. Mooc will take the place of traditional courses offered in the universities very soon.

2014年12月六级第一套 翻译真题及解析

2014.12.1st 反应在艺术和文学中的乡村生活理想是中国文明的重要特征。这在很大程度上归功于道家对自然地感情。传统中国画有两个最受青睐的主题，一是家庭生活的各种幸福场景，画中往往有老人在下棋饮茶，男人在耕耘收割，妇女在织布缝衣，小孩在户外玩耍。另一个则是乡村生活的种种乐趣，画有渔夫在湖上打渔，农夫在山上砍柴采药，或是书生坐在松树下吟诗作画。这两个主题可以分别代表儒家和道家的生活理想。 Rural life ideals reflected in Chinese arts and literature is an important feature of Chinese civilization. This is largely attributed to feelings of Taoism to the nature. There are two most popular themes in traditional Chinese paintings. One is various scenes of happy family life with the elderly drinking teas and playing chess, men plowing and harvesting, women sewing and weaving, or children playing outdoors. The other is a variety of fun in rural life with a fisherman fishing on the lake, farmers cutting firewood or collecting medicinal herbs, scholars reciting poems or painting pictures under a pine tree. These two themes represent separately Confucian and Taoist ideal life.

2015年考研英语一翻译真题解析

2015年考研英语一翻译真题解析 一、来源：今年的文章来源于An outline of American history(1954)(《美国历史纲要(1954年英文版)》)，是其中一章The Colonial Period(殖民时期)的节选。这个符合历年来翻译的考查规律，往往都是从书籍中节选段落进行翻译，内容相对于阅读而言，相对于2014年“贝多芬”而言，有些难懂。 二、难度：5句话共151词，相当平稳。其中48题最长，35词;50题最简单，24词。可以说，不同基础的同学都可以从中找到自己熟悉的部分，不至于在这个题上一分未得。 三、句型特点：今年的5句话中，有2句(46，48)是简单句，另外3句(47，49，50)是复合句。其中的复合句无一例外都考查的是定语从句的翻译，并没有涉及到其他从句类型。简单句中考查最多的也是后置定语的翻译。所以，中公考研考前为大家预测的难点中，定语的翻译是绝对考点和重点。 四、逐题详解： 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 重点词组：out of a wilderness(摆脱荒凉)，by its nature(就其本质而言，从本质来说)，uncharted(未知的;图上未标明的)。 结构分析：整个句子是一个简单句，由and并列谓语动词built和shaped。driven by powerful and diverse motivations是后置定语，修饰movement;out of a wilderness是后置定语，修饰nation;of an uncharted continent是后置定语，修饰character and destiny。 参考译文：这项运动，由多种强大的动机驱动，建立了一个摆脱荒凉的国家，并且从本质上来讲，塑造了一块不为人熟悉的大陆的性格和命运。 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. 重点词组：product(产物)，principal(主要的;首要的)，peoples(民族)，impact(影响) 结构分析：句子的主干是The United States is the product of two principal forces，破折号解释说明forces。of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics是后置定语，修饰immigration;of a new country which modified these traits是后置定语，修饰impact，其中包含一个定语从句which modified these traits，修饰country。 参考译文：美国是两股主要力量的产物——带有不同思想、风俗习惯和国家特征的欧洲民族的移民，和修改这些特征的新兴国家的影响。 48) But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the carried national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. 重点词组：peculiar(特有的，独特的)，interplay(互相影响)，sheer(独特的) 结构分析：整个句子是简单句，主语由三个名词短语用and并列承担，谓宾部分比较短小caused significant changes。主语1中，of geographic conditions peculiar to America是后置

wife, I amfree.” This is a prevalent misconception in many people'sminds---that love, like merchandise, can be “stolen”。Numerous states, in fact,have enacted laws allowing damages for “alienation of affections”。 But love is not a commodity; the real thing cannot be bought,sold, traded or stolen. It is an act of the will, a turning of the emotions, achange in the climate of the personality. When a husband or wife is “stolen” by another person, thathusband or wife was already ripe for the stealing, was already predisposedtoward a new partner. The “love bandit” was only taking what was waiting to betaken, what wanted to be taken. We tend to treat persons like goods. We even speak of thechildren “belonging” to their parents. But nobody “belongs” to anyone else. Eachperson belongs to himself, and to God. Chil dren are entrusted to their parents,and if their parents do not treat them properly, the state has a right toremove them from their parents' trusteeship. Most of us, when young, had the experience of a sweetheartbeing taken from us by somebody more attractive and more appealing. At thetime, we may have resented this intruder---but as we grew older, we recognizedthat the sweetheart had never been ours to begin with. It was not the intruderthat “caused” the break, but the lack of a real relationship. On the s urface, many marriages seem to break up because of a“third party”. This is, however, a psychological illusion. Theother woman orthe other man merely serves as a pretext for dissolving or a marriage that hadalready lost its essential integrity. Nothing is more futile and more self-defeating than thebitterness of spurned love, the vengeful feeling that someone else has “comebetween” oneself and a beloved. This is always a distortion of reality, forpeople are not the captives or victims of others---they are free agents,working out their own destinies for good or for ill. But the rejected lover or mate cannot afford to believe thathis beloved has freely turned away from him--- and so he ascribes sinister ormagical properties to the interloper. He calls him a hypnotist or a thief or ahome-breaker. In the vast majority of cases, however, when a home is broken,the breaking has begun long before any “third party” has appeared on the scene. 关于凯程： 凯程考研成立于2005年，国内首家全日制集训机构考研，一直致力于高端全日制辅导，由李海洋教授、张鑫教授、卢营教授、王洋教授、杨武金教授、张释然教授、索玉柱教授、方浩教授等一批高级考研教研队伍组成，为学员全程高质量授课、答疑、测试、督导、报考指导、方法指导、联系导师、复试等全方位的考研服务。 凯程考研的宗旨：让学习成为一种习惯 凯程考研的价值观口号：凯旋归来，前程万里 信念：让每个学员都有好最好的归宿 使命：完善全新的教育模式，做中国最专业的考研辅导机构 激情：永不言弃，乐观向上 敬业：以专业的态度做非凡的事业 平衡：找到工作、生活、家庭的平衡点 服务：以学员的前途为已任，为学员提供高效、专业的服务，团队合作,为学员服务，为学
