What is sports violence? The distinctionbetweenunacceptable viciousness anda game’snormal rough-and-tumble is impossible to make, so theargumentruns. This position may appealto our inclination fo rlegalism, but the truth is most of usknow quitewell whenan act of needless savageryhas beencommitted,and sports are little different from countless otheractivitiesof life.The distinctionisasapparent a sthat betweena deliberately aimedblow and the arm failingof thelosinghis balance.When a player balls hishand into a fist,when he drives his helmet into an unsuspecting opponentinshort, when he crossest he boundary between playinghardandplaying to hurt—hecan only intend an act of violence.

Admittedly, rough acts insports are difficult topolice. But her e,too, we findreflectedthe conditions of everydaylife. Ambigu itiesinthe law, confusion at the scene,and the reluctance ofwitnessescloud almost anyroutine assault case.Such uncertainties,however,have not prevented society from arresting people who strike their fellow citizens on thestreet.

Perhapsour troubles stem not from thegames weplaybutratherfrom how we play them. The 1979 meetingbetween hockey stars fromtheSoviet Union and the National Hockey League provideda direct testoftwo approaches to sport—theemphasis on skill, grace,and technique bythe Russiansand the stress on brutality and violence by the NHL.Ina startling upset, the Russians embarrassed their rough-playingopponen ts and exploded a long-standing myth:that successin certain sports requires excessive violence.

Violenceapologistscite two additional arguments. First, they say,

sports always have beenrough; today things are no different.But argumentsinAmerican’sOldWestweresettledon MainStreet with six guns,and early cave dwellerschose theirwomenwitha club.Civilizing influences ended thosepractices; yetwe aretold sports violence shouldbe tolerated. The secondcontentionisthat athletes acceptrisk as part of the game, and, in thecase of professionals, are paid handsomely todo so. But can anyoneseriously arguethatbei ngan athleteshould require the acceptanceofunnecessaryphysical abuse?And, exaggeratedas itmay seem, thepay of professionalathletes presumably reflects their abilities, not a paymentagainstcombat injuries.

“Clearly we arein deep trouble,”says perplexed former football player AL DeRogatis. “But howand whyhas it gottensobad?”

Bruno Lundby, 39,was one of the ranks oftypically low-paid, low-s tatusworkers who fill supermarketshelves,serve fast food, change

hotelbeds or empty officewaste bins, often at unsocial hours and with little expectation of anything better.Lacking formal qualifications,he drifted from the armyintooddcleaning jobs. Then, unexpectedly,he found t heopportunityfor advancementin amanagementtraining program o ffered by ISS,the Danish support services group. Today hesits in a spotless,air-conditioned office supervisingall ISSdamage controloperations inthe greaterCopenhagenarea.“I couldn’t have imagined getting to where I am today when I started,”he says.“I was surprisedto beofferedafuture at ISSin1993whenI became a supervisor.” In the past three years,he has been promotedthree times.

ISS, which employs 272,000 peoplein36countriesin Europe,Asia and LatinAmerica incleaningand othercontract work, still appearsto be an exceptionin the servicessector inoffering career progression to workers.

The pursuit ofcustomer satisfaction is a strong feature of companies that treat blue-collar staff as morethan a commodity.Tesco, the supermarketgroup that is the UK’s largest private sectoremployer with 210,000 employees,recently formalized a practice of nurturing managementpotential among shelf-stackers and check-outstaff.“Theones who r espect customers are the ones whogeton,”says Clare Chapman,hum an resources director. Inthepast five months,245 employeeshave beenpromoted from generalstoreassistantto section manager, 149 fromsectionmanagerto senior store team and 33 from seniorteam to store manager. Thesestaff are coached, assessed and then trainedfortheir new responsibilities. The talent-spotting program appliesto all staff,including 45,700 in Tesco’s overseasstores.

ISS acknowledgesthat by offering career progression it has changed the nature of its contract withblue-collaremployees,raising expectations on bothsides that may not always be met.④

For Mr.Lundby,career progresshas induced loyalty to his employer and greater self-esteem.“Personal skills areoftenmoreimportant than high educationalqualificationsif you have to deal withpeople every day,”he says.“I’mapractical,notan academicperson. Iknowthe b usiness from the bottom.I know the loopholes and the hardships.”

6. Itcan beinfered from paragraph 1that Mr.Lundby

[A]has anticipated his conditionwould be improved.

[B] works hard but still hasno chanceto get improved.

[C] has been promotedfor hehas formal qualifications.

[D] had some ofthe toughest,dirtiestjobs before.

7. Which of thefollowingis true abouttheservice sector?

[A] Blue-collar workers in ithave littlechanceto bepromoted. [B]Companies in italwayspursuecustomer satisfaction.

[C]Companies initalwaystreatblue-collar staff as a commodity.

[D]Workersin it have more chance tobe promoted than in others

8.In Tesco, employeeswill havechance to be promotedif

[A] they areloyal totheir employer.

[C]they make their customers satisfied.

[D]they work as hard asthey’re expected.

[A] willhave moremanagers.

[B] will be morecompetitive.

TheInternet, e-commerce and globalization are makinga neweconomicera possible.By the middleof the21st century, capitalistmarkets will largely be replacedby a new kind of economic system based on networked relationships,contractualarrangementsandaccess rights.Hasthequality ofour livesat work, at home and in our communitiesincreased indirectproportion toall the new Internet and business-to-businessIntranetservices being introduced into our lives? I h ave askedthis question of hundreds of CEOs and corporateexecutives in Europe andthe UnitedStates.Surprisingly,virtually everyone has said, “No,quite the contrary.” The very people responsible forusheringin whatsome have called a “technological renaissance”say theyare working lon ger hours,feel more stressed, are more impatient, and areevenlessc ivil in their dealings with colleagues andfriends —not tomentionstrangers. And what’s more revealing,they placemuchof the blame on the very sametechnologies they are so aggressively championing.

The techno guruspromised us thataccess would make life more convenient and give us more time.Instead, the verytechnologicalwondersthat were supposed to liberate us have begun to enslave usin a web of connections from which thereseems to be no easy escape.

If an earliergeneration waspreoccupied withthe quest to encl ose a vastgeographic frontier, the dotcomgeneration,it seems, is morecaught upinthe colonization of time.Everysparemoment ofourtimeis being filled with some form of commercial connection, makingtime itselfthe mostscarce of all resources. Our e-mail, voice mailand cell phones,our24-hour electronic trading markets, onlinebankingservices, all-nighte-commerce,and24-hourInternet news and

entertainment allholler for our attention.

And whilewehave created every kind of labor-and-time-saving deviceto service ourneeds, we are beginning tofeellikewe havelesstime availableto usthananyotherhumans in history.That is becausethegreatproliferationof labor-and-time-saving services only increases thediversity,paceandflow of commodified activity around us.Forexample,e-mail is agreat convenience.However, we nowfind ourselvesspending muchofourdayfranticallyrespondingto eachother’s electronic messages.The cell phoneisa gr eat time-saver. Except nowwe arealways potentially inreach of someo ne else whowants ourattention.

Socialconservativestalk about the declinein civilityand blame it on the loss of amoral compassand religious values. Has anyone bothered to ask whetherthe hyper-speed cultureismaking all of us less p atient and less willing to listen and defer, consider and reflect?

Maybe we need to ask what kinds of connectionsreally count andwh attypes of access really matterin thee-economy era. If this new technology revolutionis only abouthyper efficiency, then we risk losingsomething evenmorepreciousthan time —our sense of whatitmeans tobe a caring humanbeing.

TheNet success of“Lazy Sunday” represents a definingmomentfor t he film and television business. Advances in digital videoand broadbandhave vastlylowered the costofproduction and distribution. Filmmakers are nowfollowing the pathblazed by bloggersandmusicians,cheaply creating and uploadingtheir workto the Web. Ifitappeals to any of the Net’s niches, millionsof users willpass along their filmsthrou gh e-mail, downloads or links.It’s thedawn of the democratization ofthe TV and filmbusiness—even unknown personalities are being propelled by the enthusiasm of their fansinto pop-culture prominence, sometime swithout even traditional intermediaries like talentagents or filmfestival s.

“This is like bypasssurgery,”says Dan Harmon, a filmmaker whose monthly L.A.–based film cluband Web site,Channel 101,letsmembers submit shortvideos, such as the recent70s’ music mockumentary“Yacht Rock,” and vote onwhichthey like best. “Finally wehave a new golden age where the artist hasa direct connection tothe audience.”

The directors behind“Lazy Sunday” embodythephenomenon. When theshaggy-haired Samberg,27, graduatedfrom NYUFilm Schoolin 2001,he facedthe conventionalchallengeofcrashing the gates of Hollywood.With his two childhoodfriends Akiva Schaffer andJorma Taccone,hecameup with an unconventional solution: theystarted recordingmusicparodiesand comic videos, andposting themtotheirWebsite,TheLonelyisland.com.

The materialgot the attentionofproducers at the old ABC sitcom “S pinCity”, where Samberg andTaccone worked as low-level assistants; the producers sent a compilationto a talent agency. The friends got anagent,madea coupleofpilot TVsketch shows forComedy Central a nd Fox,featuringthemselveshamming it up in nearlyalltheroles,and wrote jokesfor the MTV Movie Awards. Evenwhen thenetw orks passed on their pilots,Samberg andhis friendssimply poste dthe episodes online and their fan base—at 40,000unique visitorsamonth earlier this year —grew larger. Last August, Samberg joined the ”S NL” cast, and Schaffer and Taccone becamewriters. Now theyshare anoffice in RockefellerCenterand “are a little toocute for everyone,”Samberg says, “We arefriendsliving our dream.”

Short,funny videos like“Lazy Sunday”happento translate online, but noteverything worksas well. Bite-size filmsaremore practical than longerones; comedy playsbetter than drama. But almost everythi

ng is worthtrying, sincethe tools to create and post video are now so cheap,and ad hoc audiences canform around any sensibility, however eccentric.

16.Thesentence “It’s dawn of the democratization of…”(Line5-6, Par a.1)shows that

[A] film and television business is enjoyingan unprecedented success[B]thegeneral public areplaying an active role in pop-culture

[C] filmmakers are showing great enthusiasmfor successon the Web[D]e-mail, downloads or links are now the mainmeans offilmdistribution

17.Whichof thefollowing is true according to the text?

[A] “Lazy Sunday”is the representative ofrealizing dream by the Net.

[B]Artists should develop a directrelationship with thepublic.

[C]Short videoson theWebwould prove to bethe mostpopular productions

[D] Thefilm and television businesscan becompared to a bypasssurgery

18.Samberg’s solutionwas unconventionalbecause

[A]newcomerswere usuallydeniedaccess toHollywood

[B]heand his two childhoodfriends got acceptedinto Hollywood[C] herecordedmusic parodiesand comic videos all by himself [D] he andhisfriendscreatedand uploaded theirproductions totheirWebsite

19. Which of the following playsa keyrole inthe Net success of“LazySunday”?

[A]Producers attheoldABCsitcom“Spin City”.

[B]Conventions ofHollywood.

[C] Comicnature of the video.

[D] Eccentricity of audiences online.

20.Thetext intends totellus

[A] the unexpected success of Samberg.

[B] anew direction for TV and film business.

[C] the reasonsbehindSambeig’ssuccess.

[D]anew phenomenon in pop-culture.

Part B

Directions: In the article, following sentences have been removed. For Question s21-25,choose the most suitableone fromthe list [A]—[G]to fit into each of the numberedblank.There are two extra choices, which do not fitin any of the gaps.

Many of thephilosophers wehave beenreading in class seemtome tobe hopelessly dated.Of course,it’s easy to become trappedin writingonlyfor theperiod a person lives in, and aphilosophy is

necessarilydependentonthe historical situation and the extent of man’sknowledge. 21.

However,Victor Hugo saidthat if hewerewritingfor his own time only, he wouldhave to break hispen andthrow it away. 22. Andit seems to me that themost frequent objections tomodern andpre

modernphilosopherscome fromtheincompatibility of their philosophies withwhatisconsidered to be established scientific fact. Forinstance,Plato’stheory offormsdoes not,to me, seem to jibe withmodern physics and cosmology. And althoughI can only vaguely glimpse,the psychology whichunderliesKant, itseemsto be highly questionable.

23.

Afterall,physics can give usinsights into metaphysics, since b othseek differentwaysto do the same thing;psychology,sociology, anthropology,and archeology cangiveus insightsinto epistemology; various “soft”sciences dealing withcomparative culturescanprov ide food forthought inethics,and soon.

24. Sartre, although he developed some of his ideasfromNietzsche and Kierkegaard, probably could not have expoundedthose same ideas of existentialismin theirtimes; Nietzsche, who popularized the idea that “God isdead”,could not have writtenin thetime ofDescartes; and Descartescouldnot haveexpressed his radically individualist ideas during the time of Plato.

I suppose that mypoint, which I am being exceedinglylong-winded about, is thatphilosophydoes not (andshould not, and must not) stand apart from the rest of the sciences. 25.Although the othe rsciences can provideus withdata,observations, and theories, only philosophy canintegratethose into a coherent whole,tellus what to do withthem, or provide a meaningfulcontextforusing thesefacts in our dailylives.

[A] Inmyview,application of Kants epistemologyand metaphysics could neverproduce an artificial intelligence capableof passinga Turing test.

[B] Rather, Philosophy should be integrated with the rest ofthe sciences through a methodofrational judgment. Rather than sailing behind,ornext to butawayfrom,the rest of thesciences, philosophy should bethef lagship of the group.

[C]Andmany of the philosopherswho haveexistedover the course ofthe centurieshave necessarilyhad to worry aboutgovernmental,church, orsocietal disapproval,censorship,orpunishment.

[D] History is,ofcourse, necessary to anyunderstanding of a philosophy:how itcame about, what peopledid with it, etc.

[E]Althoughsomephilosophical people are not necessarily considered as philosopherstoday —but whose work wasinfluential and instrumentalin

developing oneof thesocialsciences (psychology,sociology, political science, education) or in advancing theoreticalscience (what isno wcalled philosophyof science).

[F] And so, it seems to me, thebestwaythata philosopher can keep from being dated istobe aware of scientificknowledge, and integrate it i nto philosophy.Ofcourse, this necessitatesan independent evaluation ofthe merits anddrawbacks ofa given scientificidea, which necessitates,in turn, a thoroughknowledge of that theory.

[G]And so,it seems to methat, in order for a philosopher tobe relevant for the future as well as the present,he must take intoaccountall oftheobjectionsto his philosophy whichcanbe anticipatedatthe present time.

Part C

Directions:Read the following textcarefully and then translatethe underlined segments into Chinese.

What are feelings for? Mostnonscientists willfind thisa strange question. Feelingsjust are. Theyjustifythemselves.Emotions give meaning and depth to life. They need serve noother purposein order to exist.26)On the other hand, many evolutionary biologists, in contrast toanimal behaviorists,acknowledgesomeemotions primarilyfortheir survival function. For both animalsand humans,fear motivate sthe avoidance of danger,love is necessary to care for young, and angerpreparesone to hold ground. 27)But the factthat abehavior functionsto serve survivalneed notmean thatthat is why it is done. Other scientists have attributed thesamebehaviorto conditioning,tolearnedresponses.Certainly reflexes andfixed action patternscan occur withoutfeeling or consciousthought.A gull chick pecks at a red spotaboveit. The parenthasaredspot on its bill;the chick pecksthe parent’s bill.The gull parentfeeds its chick when pecked on the bill. The baby getsfed.Theinteraction need have no emotional c ontent.

At the same time, thereis no reason whysuchactions cannot haveemotional content. Inmammals,including humans,thathave given birth, milk isoften released automaticallywhen a new bab ycries. This isnotunder voluntary control;it isreflex. Yet th is doesnotmean thatfeeding a new babyisexclusively reflex andexpressesnofeeling like love.Humanshavefeeling about their beha viorevenif it is conditioned orreflexive.28)Yetsincereflexes exist, and conditioned behavior is widespread, measurable,and observable,mostscientiststry to explain animal behaviorusing only these concepts.It is simpler.

29)Preferring to explain behaviorinways thatfit science’s methods most easily,scientistshaverefused to considerany causes for animalbehavior other than reflexive and conditioned ones.Scientific

orthodoxy holdsthat what cannotbe readily measured or testedcannotexist, orisunworthy of seriousattention. Butemotional explanationsfor animal behavior neednot be impossibly complex or unstable.30)They are just more difficultfor thescientific method to verify in theusualways,cleverer and more sophisticated approachesare called for.Most branchesofscienceare morewillingto make successive app roximations to what may proveultimately unknowable, rather thanignoring italtogether.

1.[In a startling upset], theRussiansembarrassed their rough-playing opponentsandexplodeda long-standing myth:{thatsuccess incertainsportsrequires excessiveviolence}.

【分析】复合句。句子中有两个并列谓语embarrassed与exploded。冒号后面的that 引导同位语从句,补充说明myth。

【译文】在一场令人吃惊的混乱中,苏联人把他们粗野的对手羞辱了一番,并击碎了一个长久以来的神话:运动的成功需要大量的暴力。

2.And, [exaggerated as it may seem], thepay(ofprofessional athletes)presumably reflectstheir abilities, not a paymentagainst combat injuries.

【分析】复合句。句子主干为the pay reflects theirabilities;exaggeratedasit may seem为as引导的让步状语从句,exaggerated提前。

【译文】而且,夸张点说,职业运动员的报酬应该是他们能力的反映,而不是运动中所受伤害的补偿。

本文是一篇“现象解释型”论述文。主要讨论了体育暴力这一现象。第一、二段首先指出什么是体育暴力,接着说明体育暴力很难监视;第三段以苏联为例证明了以往认为运动的成功需要大量暴力的观点;第四段列举了暴力拥护者的理由,同时作者给与反驳;第五段引用前足球运动员的话,说明竞技中的暴力变得比以前更严重。

答案解析

1.【题眼】首段设题

【解析】选[D],事实细节题。第一段第四五句指出:有意的殴打和手臂失去平衡时造成的碰撞之间的区分是很明显的…他只可能是在实施暴力,由此可知,如果给予足够的注意,运动中的暴力事很明显的。故选[D]。[A]“不可能区分”虽然和文章第二句相符,但作者在下文以but形成转折,因此[A]错误;[B]“在任何情况下都不清楚”这一判断过于绝对;[C]“十分明显,无法逃脱观察”与原文内容不符。

2. 【题眼】列举处设题

【解析】选[C],推理判断题。根据题干关键词,定位于第四段,其中列举了暴力行为辩护者的两点理由,一是“sports always have beenrough”,二是“athletes a cceptrisk …are paid handso mely todo so “因此[A]错误,[C]正确;第四句“... sports violence should be tolerated.”说明暴力行为辩护者认为体育运动中肯定会存在暴力行为,因此[B]错误;[D]项是对第二点理由中…are paid han dsomely to do so.”的曲解,这句并未提到运动员喜欢暴力行为,因此错误。

3. 【题眼】引言处设题

【解析】选[C],推理判断题。文章最后一段引述了一名前足球运动员的话。他认为“我们遇到很大的麻烦…为什么情况变得如此糟糕?”这句话表明竞技中的暴力变得越来越严重,故选[C];[A]项过于绝对;[B]“足球运动员关心体育暴力”以偏概全;[D]项错在“whatshouldbe all owed”。

4.【题眼】特殊标点处设题

【解析】选[C],事实细节题。第四段第六句作者用了反问句“But …beingan athlete shouldrequire theacceptance of unnecessary physical abuse?”说明自己的观点,即作为运动员并不意味着需要接受不必要的身体方面的虐待,故选[C];文章未提到运动员的性格影响暴力倾向,因此[A]被排除;作者在举苏联的例子时提到他们强调技能、优全文翻译

什么是体育暴力?无法接受的恶意行为和比赛的正常混乱根本无法分辨;因此人们才会争论不休。这种情况往往使我们倾向于教条主义。但是我们都十分清楚,一旦没有必要的野蛮行为得以实施,那么体育和生活中无数的其他活动就没有什么区别了。[1]故意击打和身体失衡时胳膊自然垂下的分别十分明显,而体育活动和其他的活动的区别也是同样明显。当一名球员的手攥成拳头,当他迅速地把头盔掷向毫无防备的对手,当他越过了努力比赛和假借比赛蓄意伤人之间的界限,他只可能是在故意实施暴力。

必须承认,体育运动中的粗野行为很难监视。但是我们发现,运动中反映了生活中的很多情况。法律的模棱两可、现场的混乱不堪、证人出庭作证的迟疑不决,这些都为各种普通的攻击案件的审理蒙上了阴影。但是,这些不确定性并没有阻止我们的社会去逮捕那些在大街上蓄意伤人的罪犯。

也许麻烦并不在于我们进行的比赛本身,而在于我们如何进行比赛。1979年苏联曲棍球球星和美国曲棍球联盟的比赛就是对两种运动策略的直接检验——苏联人重视技能、优雅和技巧,美国人重视野蛮和暴力。在一场令人吃惊的混乱中,苏联人把他们粗野的对手羞辱了一番,并击碎了一个长久以来的神话:运动的成功需要大量的暴力。

[2]暴力的拥护者们会从下列两个方面进行辩护。第一,他们认为运动从来都是粗野的,至今也毫不例外。在美国西部,争论曾经是在大街上用一枝装有六发子弹的手枪解决的;早期的穴居原始人是用大棒选择自己的女人的。文明的发展最终中止了这样的行为。然而他们却告诉我们说,运动中的暴力应该容忍。他们的[2]第二个争论的焦点是,运动员将冒险看成是体育比赛的一部分,而且如果是职业选手,他们所得到的报酬也很优厚。[4]但是有谁能够认真地说,当运动员就应该接受毫无必要的身体伤害?而且,夸张点说,职业运动员的报酬应该是他们能力的反映,而不是运动中所受伤害的补偿。[3]“我们的麻烦显然不轻,”前足球运动员ALDeRogatis 困惑地说,“但是情况为什

么会这么糟,又是怎样变得这么糟的呢?”雅和技能,但并不能推断出[B]“…会赢”;

[D]项是暴力拥护者的观点,不是作者的观

点。

5. 【解析】选[D],推理判断题。纵观全

文,作者的观点是应该避免体育运动中的

暴力行为,故选[D];文章中并没有明

确地表明体育运动中的暴力为非法行为的

结论,因此排除[A];[B]“技巧比进攻更重

要”、[C]“运动员不应该在运动中受到伤害”

不完整,不能够概括作者的看法。

1.Bruno Lundby, 39, was oneof theranks of typicallylow-paid, low-s tatus workers (whofill supermarket shelves,serve fast food,change hotel beds or emptyoffice waste bins,often atunsocial hours an dwithlittleexpectation of anythingbetter).

【分析】复合句。who引导定语从句,修饰workers;该从句中,fill supermarket s helves,servefast food,change hotel beds和emptyofficewaste bins 为并列的动宾结构。

【译文】39岁的布鲁诺·伦德比是典型的收入低、地位低的工人中的一员,这些人为超市的货架上货、在快餐店服务、在旅馆换床具、为办公室倒垃圾箱,他们常常不在正常工作时间工作,也没有改善工作的期望。

【分析】复合句。句子主干为Tescoformalized a practice...;thesupermarket group…为Tesco的同位语;that引导定语从句修饰the supermarket group。

【译文】泰斯克超市集团是英国最大的私营企业雇主,拥有21万名员工,它最近将其在货物上架工和收银员中培养潜在的管理人员的这种做法正式化了。

本文是一篇“现象解释型“论述文。主要通过介绍ISS提供的培训,论述了在服务行业中从事最低级工作的员工得到晋升对企业所产生的影响。第一段介绍了ISS提供的管理培训计划使布鲁诺·伦德比的职位得到提升;第二、三段介绍了ISS,并以泰克斯集团为例指出职位晋升的条件;第四、五段指出蓝领员工的晋升所产生的积极效果。

答案解析

6.【题眼】首段设题

【解析】选[D],事实细节题。由原文第一段第一句可知,伦德比先生过去是“典型的收入低、地位低的工作人员中的一员”,[D]选项说他“曾做过一些最苦、最脏的工作”与其意思一致。第五句引用他本人的话说:我在刚开始的时候想象不到我会发展到今天的地步,故[A]错误;第三句说他得到了IS S提供的培训机会而后成为了管理者,显然[B]错误;第二句明确指出他“Lacking formal qualifications”,所以[C]错误。

7.【题眼】复杂句设题

【解析】选[A],事实细节题。第二段说“IS S,... appears to bean exception in theservicesector in offering career progressiontoworkers”,由此可知,在服务行业中,向员工提供晋升机会的很少,所以[A]正确,同时[D]错误。由第三段第一句,在不把蓝领员工仅仅当作商品看待的那些公司,寻求客户满意是它们的一个主要特点,因此[B]、[C]的表述均不确切。

8.【题眼】列举处设题

【解析】选[C],事实细节题。由第三段第一句“The pursuitofcustomer satisfactionis ...”接着举了泰克斯集团的例子,还引用人力资源部主任的话“The ones who respect customers are theoneswho get on.”可推断,尊重客户、让客户满意的员工就能得到提升,[C]选项与其意思一致。其余选项均不是员工得到提升的主要条件。

9. 【题眼】观点总结处设题

【解析】选[C],推理判断题。原文第四段:“ISS承认提供职位晋升机会这一做法改变了…,提高了…”是对前面所提到的提供晋升这一做法的积极效果的总结,由此可推全文翻译

[6]39岁的布鲁诺·伦德比是典型的收入低、地位低的工人中的一员,这些人为超市的货架上货、在快餐店服务、在旅馆换床具、为办公室倒垃圾箱,他们常常不在正常工作时间工作,也没有改善工作的期望。伦德比没有正规的资格证书,他从军队离开以后就成了临时清洁工。后来,他出乎意料地从ISS(一个丹麦支持的服务集团)提供的管理培训计划中获得了发展机会。今天,他坐在一尘不染、有空调的办公室里监督I SS在大哥本哈根地区的所有修复工作。他说:“我在刚开始的时候想象不到我会发展到今天的地步。我在1993年当上主管时,对于ISS提供的成功机会感到惊讶。”他在过去的3年里被提拔了3次。

[7]ISS在欧洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲的36个国家中雇佣了27.2万名员工从事清洁行业和其他承包业,它在向员工提供职位晋升机会方面还是服务行业中的一个特例。

[8]在不把蓝领员工仅仅当作商品看待的那些公司,寻求客户满意是它们的一个主要特点。泰斯克超市集团是英国最大的私营企业雇主,拥有21万名员工,它最近将其在货物上架工和收银员中培养潜在的管理人员的这种做法正式化了。[8]人力资源部主任克莱尔·查普曼说:“谁尊重客户,谁就能得到提升。”在过去的5个月中,有245名员工从一般的商店营业员晋升为部门经理,149人从部门经理升任商店领导班子成员,33人从领导班子中升任商店经理。这些员工经过指导、评定,然后再为他们的新职位接受培训。这项选拔人才的计划适用于全体员工,包括泰斯克的海外商店的4.57万名员工。

[9]ISS承认,提供职位晋升机会这一做法改变了与蓝领员工合同的性质,提高了双方也许并不总能达到的期望值。

对伦德比先生来说,职位晋升使他对

断[C]选项正确;[A]项是对第三段第四句的误解;[B]、[D]两个选项属无据推论。

10.【解析】选[D],主旨大意题。本文主要论述了在服务行业中从事最低级工作的员工得到了晋升的机会,所以[D]是最合适的标题。[A]项只是第一段的内容;全文并未讲述Program的内容,因此[B]错;self-e steem只是最后一段的细节,[C]也错误。雇主更加忠诚并使自己获得更强的自尊。他说:“如果你每天必须跟人打交道,个人的能力往往比受教育程度高更重要。我是个有实际经验的人,不是搞学术的人。我十分了解这一行。我知道其中的漏洞和难处。”

1. Has the quality(of ourlives(at work, athomeand in our communities))increased[in direct proportion to(all the new Internet and business-to-business) Intranetservices(beingintroduced into our lives)]?

【分析】简单句。“at .., at …and in our…”三个并列的介词短语是修饰our lives的定语,“indirect proportionto… our lives”是一个长的介词短语作句子的状语,其中“being introduced …”为分词短语作“Intranet services”的定语。

【译文】因特网、企业与企业之间内联网等新服务一项项进入了我们的生活,而我们在工作单位、在家、在社区里的生活质量有没有随之提高呢?

2.Theverypeople(responsible for ushering in whatsome havecalled a “technologicalrenaissance”) say theyareworking longer hours,feel morestressed, are more impatient, and are evenless civil[in their d ealings with colleagues and friends—notto mention strangers].【分析】复合句。responsible for …作主语people的定语,该结构中what引导的从句作ushering in的宾语;谓语say之后跟了一个长的宾语从句,该从句含有四个并列的谓语成分:areworking …, feel…,are…,and are …。

【译文】这些人开创了所谓的“科技复兴”时代,而也正是他们,如今的工作时间更长了,感到的压力更大了,变得更加不耐烦了,连和自己的同事、朋友打交道时都不那么客气了,对陌生人就更不用说了。

本文是一篇“观点论证型”论述文。主要论述了信息技术在给社会带来进步的同时,也

带来了负面影响。第一、二段作者通过采访他人,提出了科技的发展给人们的生活带来一定的负面影响这一观点;第三到第六段分析了科学技术的发展从哪些方面影响了人们的生活; 第七段得出总结:一味追求高效率的技术革新也许会使人类丧失比时间更宝贵的东西,那就是一颗关爱别人的心。

答案解析

11.【解析】选[D]。推理判断题。在粗略地浏览过全文之后,我们不难发现全文中作者都围绕着新的科技发展对我们节约时间和精力的影响展开讨论;文章中还谈到对如今生活在信息时代的一代来说,时间反倒成了最罕见的资源。由作者看来,最宝贵的资源就是人们的时间了,因此选[D];其他几项均不能体现作者写这篇文章的意图。12.【题眼】引言处设题

【解析】选[B]。事实细节题。根据题干关键词,定位于第二段第二、三句。作者谈到他就“这个问题”问过几百名的首席执行官、公司经理,几乎所有的人都回答“没有”,“正好相反”,而这个问题就是第二段第一句提到的关于新科技是否提高我们的生活质量的问题,故[B]正确;选项[A]、[C]、[D]均不是公司经理们的观点。

13.【题眼】段首句设题

【解析】选[A]。语义理解题。“colonize”原意是“将某地视为殖民地、占领”。“colonization”是它的名词形式,那么我们推断“the colonization oftime”用在此句中就是“将时间占用”之意,紧接着后面一句话:“我们的每一刻闲暇时光都被某种业务联系所侵占,时间反成了最罕见的资源”证实了我们的推断,故[A]正确;其他几项均不符合题意和上下文的意思。14.【题眼】观点总结处设题

【解析】选[A]。推理判断题。第六段中作者首先提出了社会上一些保守派的观点,他们认为人们不那么有礼貌是因为道德规范和宗教价值的沦丧;接着作者反问道:有没有人问过…,由此推断[A]符合作者的意思;选项[B]不能从保守派或者作者的话中推断出;选项全文翻译

因特网、电子商务、全球化正使了一个新经济时代成为可能。到21世纪中叶,资本主义市场将在很大程度上被一种新型经济制度所取代,这种新制度的基础是由网络形成的关系、合同协议和进入权。

[12]因特网、企业与企业之间内联网等新服务一项项进入了我们的生活,而我们在工作单位、在家、在社区里的生活质量有没有随之提高呢?我曾就这个问题问过几百名欧洲和美国的首席执行官、公司经理。让人吃惊的是,几乎所有人都回答:“没有,正好相反。”这些人开创了所谓的“科技复兴”时代,而也正是他们,如今的工作时间更长了,感到的压力更大了,变得更加不耐烦了,连和自己的同事、朋友打交道时都不那么客气了,对陌生人就更不用说了。而更发人深省的是,他们把大部分责任归咎于他们正在积极地拥护推行的各种技术产品。

技术专家们向我们保证说入网后生活会变得更方便,能节省出更多的时间。而实际恰恰相反,那些本以为可以解放我们的技术奇迹现在却在奴役我们,把我们困在千丝万缕的网内,似乎很难轻易逃脱。

如果说上一代人整天忙着开拓广袤边疆的话,[13]如今的网络一代似乎更醉心于对时间的拓殖。我们每一刻的闲暇时光都被某种业务联系所侵占,时间反倒成了最罕见的资源。电子邮件、语音信息、手机、24小时电子交易市场、网上银行、通宵进行的电子贸易、24小时因特网新闻和娱乐,所有这一切都在争抢我们的注意力。

尽管我们发明了一切省时省力的器械来满足各种需要,但是现在我们的感觉却是:留给自己的时间比历史上任何阶段的人类拥有的时间都少。这是因为省时省力器械的不断涌现只不过使我们身边的商品化活动更为丰富、节奏加快、流动更为迅速。例如,电子邮件的确十分方便。但是,我们现在却发现我们用大部分时间拼命地答复彼此的电子信件。手机也大大节省了时间,只是现在如果别人想找我们,他们就总有可能找到我们。

[14]社会上的保守派说人们不那么有礼貌

[C]是明显的偷梁换柱,把保守派的观点的一部分和作者所谈到的一部分揉合在了一起;而选项[C]文中未提及。

15.【解析】选[D]。主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了新的科技革命本着为人类节约时间、节约能量的宗旨,但事实上却给人们带来了很多的烦恼,反而使人们更加忙碌不堪。选项[A]并不符合事实,选项[B]过于具体,而[C]太过笼统。因此,选项[D]是最符合题意的一项。了,并把这种现象归咎于道德规范和宗教价值的沦丧。但是有没有人问过是不是这种高速文化把大家弄得失去了耐心,不愿意倾听、服从,不愿意深思熟虑?

也许我们需要问这样一个问题:在电子经济时代,究竟什么样的联系,哪些渠道才是真正重要的?如果这种新的技术革命探讨的仅仅是超级高效,那么我们就可能失去比时间更宝贵的东西——对于做一个有爱心的人的意义的认知。

1.It’s thedawn of the democratization(of the TV and film business)—even (unknown) personalities are being propelled[bytheenthusiasm o ftheir fans]into pop-cultureprominence, [sometimeswithouteven tra ditional intermediaries like talent agentsorfilm festivals].

【分析】并列句。前后两个分句用破折号连接,后面分句起解释作用。前一分句是个简单句;后一分句是个被动语态的句子,without…作伴随状语。

【译文】这是电视电影行业平民化的开始—甚至一些无名人物也会被狂热的粉丝们推向通俗文化的至尊地位,有时甚至无需借助人才中介师或电影节这样的传统中介力量。

【分析】复合句,主句的宾语是直接引语。a filmmaker…是Dan Harmon的同位语,其中包含whose引导的定语从句。定语从句的主语是film club and Web site, Channel101,谓语是lets,随后是宾语,包含which引导的定语从句,先行词short videos省略。解析与译文

【译文】电影人DanHarmon说,“这就像使用旁通管的外科手术,”,他位于洛杉矾的每月电影俱乐部和网站,101频道,允许会员递交短录像,比如最近的70年代音乐嘲讽记录片“帆船石”,并为他们最喜欢的作品投票。

本文是一篇现象解释型文章,讨论当今社会文化环境中出现的利用网络取得成功的新现象。第一段提到“慵懒周日”的网络成功,第二段论述了电影人DanHarmon的评价;第三、四段具体描述“慵懒周日”如何取得成功的非传统做法;第五段作了小结,鼓励人们利用网络进行形式多样的创作。

答案解析

16.【题眼】首段尾句设题

【解析】选[B]。语义理解题。根据题干所在的尾句,网络的出现使得“一些无名人物也会被狂热的粉丝们推向通俗文化的至尊地位,有时都无需借助人才经纪人或电影节这样的传统中介力量”,可知在电影电视这样的通俗文化圈中,普通人开始发挥积极作用,电影电视不再是某些人的专有领域。显然,答案为[B]。[A]电影电视行业正在经历空前的成功,第一段只说电影行业开始利用网络,迈出了决定性的一步;[C]虽是文章第一段提到的内容,但与引号内的意思无关;[D]是题干句前一句提到的细节,可以排除。

17.【题眼】段首句、段尾处设题

【解析】选[A]。事实细节题。文章第一句就说“慵懒周日”的网络成功对电影电视行业而言代表了一个决定性的时刻,第三段首句“慵懒周日”的导演们就是这种现象的代表,再结合第四段尾句Samberg的话可知[A]正确。第二段尾句电影人Dan Harmon评价道,“我们终于进入了一个新的黄金时代,艺术家与观众融成一体。”选项[B]推导过度;[C]说法绝对,排除;[D]是对比喻的曲解。

18.【题眼】特殊标点处,段尾处设题

【解析】选[D]。事实细节题。问Samberg 的方法为何显得非同寻常,定位于第三段尾句unconventional solution冒号后的内容。利用网络寻求成功,这是一种区别于常规的成功之道,故答案为[D]。选项[A]是根据常识得出的结论,可以排除;[B]不是Samberg 的方法之所以非传统的原因;[C]明显错误。

19.【题眼】尾段设题

【解析】选[C]。事实细节题。问“慵懒周日”在网上获得成功的最重要因,根据尾段全文翻译

[17]“慵懒周日”的网络成功对电影电视行业而言代表了一个决定性的时刻。数字录像以及宽带技术的进步极大地降低了制作和发行成本。电影人正追随博客和音乐家们所开辟的道路前进,低成本创作,然后低成本地上传作品至网上。如果作品吸引了某些网民,就会有数百万的网络用户利用邮件、下载或链接来传送这些电影。[16]这是电视电影行业平民化的开始—甚至一些无名人物也会被狂热的粉丝们推向通俗文化的至尊地位,有时甚至无需借助人才中介师或电影节这样的传统中介力量。

电影人DanHarmon说,“这就像使用旁通管的外科手术,”,他位于洛杉矾的每月电影俱乐部和网站,101频道,允许会员递交短录像,比如最近的70年代音乐嘲讽记录片“帆船石”,并为他们最喜欢的作品投票。“我们终于进入了一个新的黄金时代,艺术家与观众融成一体。”

[17]“慵懒周日”的导演们就是这种现象的代表。27岁的Samberg头发蓬乱,2001年从NYU电影学院毕业的时候,面临着叩开好莱坞大门的常规挑战。和儿时的两个朋友AkivaSchaffer及Jorma Taccone一起,[18]他想出了一个非常不寻常的方法:他们开始录制诙谐音乐和喜剧视频作品,并贴到他们的网站上—TheLonelyisland.com(孤独小岛)。

这些作品引起了老牌公司ABC的情景喜剧“旋转城市”制作人的注意,在该情景剧中,Samberg和Taccone担当基层助理;制作人们进行了汇编,送给了一家人才经纪机构。几个朋友敲定了一家经济机构,为喜剧中心和福克斯电视台制作了两部试验性的电视

前两句的意思可以发现,[C]是最关键的因素。其他诸项虽也是一些因素,但终究不是最关键的。

20.【题眼】选[D]。主旨大意题。放眼全文,作者借“Lazy Sunday”一例,讨论当今社会文化环境中出现的一个新现象;文章的第三段首句也表明了文章的写作意图。故此,答案为[D]。选项[A]和[C]只是文章所列举的例子,不能作为全文的核心写作意图,故排除;选项[B]也非文章的写作意图。诙谐短剧.他们自己几乎参与了所有角色的恶搞,他们还为MTV电影奖创作笑话。甚至当网络传送着他们的作品的时候,Samberg和他的朋友们只是上传一些片段,而他们的粉丝群—今年初每个月都有非同寻常的4万访客—不断增长。去年八月,Samberg加入了SNL剧组,Schaffer和Taccone则成了编剧。现在,他们在Rockfeller洛克菲勒中心合用一个办公室,“大家都说他们几个很逗,”[17]Samberg说,“我们几个梦已成真。”

[19]像“慵懒周日”这样的短小、搞笑的视频偶然地出现在了网上,但不是每样东西都能行。小电影比长篇电影更实用;喜剧比戏剧更受欢迎。当然,几乎什么都值得一试,因为创作和上传视频的工具很便宜,而且任何令人心动的作品都能聚拢起散乱的网络观众,不管视频内容多么怪异。

考研英语一做题时间具体怎么分配

考研英语一做题时间具体怎么分配 考研的英语时间是在考试的第一天下午2点到5点进行,共计3小时。如何高效地利用这三个小时,很多考生对此比较困惑。下面就为考研学子提供高效的答题策略及考研英语做题时间分配,希望能对大家有帮助。 一、考研英语做题策略 在《考研真相》的真题中,包含了完形填空、阅读理解、翻译、写作四大版块,从分值来看,考研英语阅读理解和作文总共70分,是重中之重,翻译、新题型和完形填空各10分。如果,阅读和作文首先顺利完成,考研英语可以说已经成功了一大半,接下来做其他题目也就信心十足。 如果按试卷顺序做题,到最后极有可能完形填空、新题型、翻译都做完了,但是作文没写完,因小失大。同时,根据经验分析,完形填空得分率都很低,一般在5分左右,可以完全放到最后面做。因为,到最后很多考生根本没有足够的时间仔细分析完形填空,一般都是大概看一看,直接填涂答题卡。即使得了零分,跟其他同学相比差距不会很大。 因此,把最佳的精神状态和时间合理的用在最重要的地方就能产生最佳的结果的地方。具体到实际运用过程中,一定要按照阅读理解、大小作文、翻译、新题型、完形填空这个顺序来做题。 二、考研英语做题时间分配 接下来就要分配做题时间。一般来说,四篇阅读理解文章,做题时间在一个小时左右。建议每篇文章花费15分钟时间,如果有个别较难的文章,可以多花点时间,但是不要超过20分钟。

写作文时间应该控制在40分钟之内,小作文写15分钟,6—8句话。大作文25分钟足够了,写3个自然段,12-15句话。很多同学感觉写作时间不够,主要是因为他们写的内容太多、太杂,层次不清晰,思路不明确,语言表达不到位。在考场上写作文,不在于你写的内容、篇幅太长,关键是看你的质量,无论是从内容上还是从语言上。 新题型部分,从这几年的真题走势来看,这部分的难度不是很大,建议考生把时间控制在20分钟之内。 翻译实际上这部分是阅读理解和翻译的综合能力考察,本身题目量较大,而且要翻译成相对应的汉语,所以考生把时间控制在20分钟内。 完形填空最后做,最多花15分钟时间,因为20个选项涂答题卡也要几分钟时间。如果最后没有时间仔细看题,就果断放弃完形填空,把时间放在认认真真涂好答题卡上面。 最后,提醒一点,上述时间分配不是固定不变的,考生可以根据自己答题情况灵活调整,原则是把时间花在最容易产生效益的地方。以上就是一些考研英语做题时间分配的规则。 历届学长学姐大力推荐的考研英语一辅导书 1.《非常词汇》 适合人群:英语一和英语二通用 推荐理由:800个句子浓缩所有大纲单词,通过句子记单词,让你不再由A 背到Z,背单词不再那么枯燥,记忆量大大变小了。赠送的4大赠本中,不仅包括考研英语必考词和基础词,还有四大赠本《高考词+四级词+六级词+考研词》、《基础词+必考词+偶考词+超纲词》,《750个考研高频短语》另外还有《300 组词汇辨析》。重点分明,可以根据的自己的情况和时间进行选择去用 2.闪过英语考研《必考词汇应用全书》 适合人群:备考时间不足的人 推荐理由:闪过作为英语教辅第二品牌,为什么说闪过英语适合备考时间不足的人,因为闪过英语辅导书都有“薄、准、精、快”的特点,让你在短期内闪过英语考试。

2017考研英语 阅读理解精读100篇(高分版)

UNIT SIX TEXT ONE Maintaining internal E-mail systems has long been the bane of the university information-technology director. Servers are unwieldy and unreliable, and in the past several years, the number of student complaints has grown exponentially as forward-moving providers like YahooMail, Hotmail, and Gmail have increased expectations of what E-mail should offer. The solution for a number of colleges has been to wave the white flag and outsource E-mail hosting to the experts. Microsoft, which owns Hotmail, and Google (Gmail) are the biggest players in the educational E-mail hosting market. Along with the neat-o peripheral gizmos like messaging, calendars, and collaboration tools, the outsourced systems are more stable, have better spam filters, and provide much more storage space than the typical university's in-house system. At the University of Pennsylvania, its old E-mail service gave students 60 megabytes of storage, just 3 percent of the 2 gigabytes Windows Live now provides. In return, Google and Microsoft get almost nothing, at least monetarily and in the short term. Microsoft's Windows Live @ edu and the Google Apps Education Edition are free of charge for schools. Eliminating another source of revenue, the two tech giants stripped their respective services of advertising in an effort to accommodate educators' concerns. Microsoft breaks even on the venture (it does run ads on non-E-mail services like instant messaging), while Google, which makes almost all its money through advertising, runs at a loss. But what money they don't make at the moment will—the companies hope—pay great dividends in the form of lifelong users in the future, says Google's Jeff Kelter. As quickly as they shuffle out of commencement, graduates see their E-mail transition to the traditional ad-based formats of Gmail and Hotmail. And unlike before, when universities couldn't afford to host thousands of alumni, Google and Microsoft can maintain every account indefinitely, retaining customers as long as customers still want them. Not all schools are ready to outsource their tech dirty work, with privacy and security topping the list of concerns. Critics worry that by handing over the responsibility of E-mail hosting, colleges also relinquish the freedom to keep the information safe in the best way they see fit. Even in the corporate world, there is great skepticism of consumer technologies like Google Apps. Yet most university IT managers agree that outsiders would do a better job protecting individual E-mail from viruses and spam than their own small operations, and strong word-of-mouth praise has done wonders to supplement the almost nonexistent marketing budgets for these Microsoft and Google

第五步:仔细审题,定位原文3-5分钟 原则一:关键词定位原则 原则二:自然段定位原则 原则三:长难句定位原则 注意一:关键词在原文可能是原词本身,也可能是关键词的同义词。 注意二:问原因的问题,一般问主要原因(major reason) 注意三:“邪恶的眼睛”(in the eyes of),注意问的是谁的观点和态度。 第六步:重叠选项,斟酌答案。3-5分钟 原则:不能仅凭借印象做题,考研阅读的干扰项干扰性巨大,除了理解原文,分辨正确和错误的选项也是一种重要的基本功。一般对原文进行同义替换的是答案: 同义替换的手段有:a)关键词替换b)句型替换c)正话反说d)语言简化(总之,换汤不换药!) 原则一:选最佳答案而不是正确答案(四个选项都要认真看,不能偏心)。 原则二:不放过任何一个选项,仔细读每个选项,鉴于强干扰性,要求必须记住:选一个选项应有选的理由,不选一个选项也应有不选的理由。 原则三:每个选项都当成生命中最重要的句子,其中每个单词哪怕是时态、冠词都有可能引起错误。 二、考研阅读的猜题技巧及救命法则 1、“体现中心思想的选项往往是答案” 考研文章中所有的细节、例子、引语都是为了说明文章主旨、段落主旨,所以考细节的题目,虽然不是主旨题,但能体现中心思想的选项是答案的可能性要远远大于其他选项。 2、“不看文章时,看似极其合理的选项不是答案;看似不太合理的选项往往是答案”

(10 points) Text 1 ①In May 1989, space shuttle “Atlantis” released in outer space the space probe “Megallan,” which is now on her 15-month and one-billion-kilometer flight to Venus. ②A new phase in space exploration has begun. ①The planet Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth; it is the only other object in the solar system, in fact, that even comes close to earth’s size. ②Venus has a similar density, so it is probably made of approximately the same stuff, and it has an atmosphere, complete with clouds. ③It is also the closest planet to earth, and thus the most similar in distance from the sun. ④In short, Venus seems to justify its long-held nickname of “earth’s twin.” ①The surface temperature of Venus reaches some 900F. ②Added to that is an atmospheric pressure about 90 times Earth’s: High overhead in the carbon dioxide (CO2) that passes for air is a layer of clouds, perhaps 10 to 20 miles thick, whose little drops consist mostly of sulfuric acid (H2SO4). ③Water is all but nonexistent. ①Born with so many fundamental similarities to earth, how did Venus get to be so radically different: It is not just an academic matter. ②For all its extremes, Venus is a valuable laboratory for researchers studying the weather and climate of earth. ③It has no earth’s oceans, so the heat transport and other mechanisms are greatly simplified. ④In addition, the planet Venus takes 243 earth-days to turn once on its axis, so incoming heat from the sun is added and distributed at a more leisurely, observable pace. 一、词汇 1.shuttle n. 返汽车(列车,飞机);航天飞机,航天器 2.release v. 放出,释放 3.probe n. 探测 4.phase n. 阶段 5.density n. 密度 6.approximately ad. 大概,大约 7.stuff n. 材料,东西 8.passes for被当成9.sulfuric a. 硫的 10. acid n. 酸性物质,酸11. axis n. 轴(线) 12.leisurely ad. 慢慢地,悠然地 二、长难句 1.

考研英语阅读超精读法

超精读——全面提升英语阅读能力 作者:丁晓钟来源:点点英语 经常有同学问我:有没有什么捷径能够顺利地通过四六级、考研或者其它英语考试? 我的回答总是:没有。但是,帮助同学们找到一套科学的学习方法,不仅可以提高英语能力,而且对考试也有切实的帮助,是我一直所追求的。在国内这样的非母语学习环境里,如何在英语学习上少走弯路,最为行之有效和直接的提高英语水平的办法就是大量阅读,并作精细阅读,这样才能带动“听说写译”等其它能力的突破。结合我个人的学习体会,并经过长时间的思考和教学中的摸索,我总结出了一套以阅读为突破口,提高英语综合能力和突破四六级和考研等等英语考试的“超精读”方法,希望能对同学们有所帮助。 对大部分中国学生来说,欠缺的不是泛读,而是精读。总的来说,同学们在超精读文章的时候要对文章和考点、干扰项等进行详细的分析、总结。这时要仔细体会文章中精彩的语言,注意词语的内涵、使用、扩展和搭配,代词和名词的指代,对精彩句型的模仿,以及对重要语法现象、长句、难句、文章结构的分析。另外,还要注意分析句子和句子之间的关系,是因果、递近、转折还是什么?尤其要注意文章的第一句和最后一句,以及每段的第一句和最后一句与其它句子的关系,体会每句话在文章中的作用。在阅读过程中,要培养自己对文章主要讨论对象、关键词,作者和专家的观点,以及语气的把握。特别注意作者和专家的观点,专家和专家之间的观点是否相同或相反或互补,以及作者和专家的语气是赞成还是反对,是关注还是乐观等等。如果是真题,还要仔细分析考点和正确、干扰选项的规律、特征。在此过程中,可把文章尽可能的多读几遍,甚至翻译一下,提高对文章中单词、短语、句型等的反应速度,阅读速度自然也就提高了。 如果能做到上面几点,那么你才能说真正地理解了文章,阅读理解能力以及综合英语能力都会得到很大的提高,其结果是对考试中的每个题型的把握都会更上一层楼。先从听力说起,据研究,一个人的阅读理解能力和听力水平是成正比关系的。试想,有的同学连听力原文都看不懂,怎么可能听懂呢。另外,在超精读的过程中,所积累的词汇能力,对词汇题也有很大帮助,我曾做过统计,如果对10套左右的四六级、考研阅读真题中的词汇进行过深入学习,大纲中的重点词汇就已经囊括大半。最好的词汇记忆方法是通过阅读来学习,可以记得又牢又准确。对翻译、完形、改错、简短回答问题等小题型,你就会觉得得心应手,因为你对这些题型的解题能力和你的阅读、词汇能力最相关。关于作文,许多同学喜欢背模版,其实模版作文千篇一律,很难拿到高分。如果在读英语报刊和真题的过程中,我们有意识地摘抄积累一些精彩地道的词汇和句型,考试时信手拈来,无疑会使评卷老师眼睛为之一亮。实际上,我们所阅读的英语文章就是一篇篇精彩的作文范文。如果我们能在早晨、傍晚朗读或背诵英语报刊文章或真题阅读文章,经常进行翻译练习,耳濡目染接触到的都是地道的英语,坚持下去,我们的听说读写译能力很自然地就会得到提高。 第一步:准备好阅读材料,训练阅读速度,捕捉文章大意。不要查字典、看译文。 在阅读英语报刊(推荐阅读Time, Newsweek, the Economist等)或者真题的时候,第一遍都必须首先注意提高阅读速度。对报刊上的文章,第一遍读的时候不要查字典,记下起止时间,计算单位时间的阅读量。对真题,更加要控制在规定的时间内完成,阅读时就要随时对可能的考点作出标记,最后结合解题技巧来解题。这时的重点放在训练速度,掌握文章大意、结构,以及作者和专家等的观点。 第二步:总结文章中词汇使用的准确性、形象性、多样性和感情色彩及语气,复合词的使用,总结各类重要搭配,对各类重要词汇进行扩展,正确识别代词与抽象名词的指代,并记忆和运用可以在作文中使用的词汇。 1.从文章中词汇使用的准确性、形象性、多样性和感情色彩及语气角度,复合词的使用进行总结。

1994 Passage 2 One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card. They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us, the "cashless society" is not on the horizon — it's already here. While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself. Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers. 55.According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to ________. [A]withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes [B]obtain more convenient services than other people do [C]enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper [D]cash money wherever he wishes to 56.From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that ________. [A]in the future all the Americans will use credit cards [B]credit cards are mainly used in the United State today [C]nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash [D]it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before 57.The phrase "ring up sales" (line 2, paragraph 2) most probably means "________". [A]make an order of goods [B]record basic sales on a cash register [C]call the sales manager [D]keep track of the goods in stock 58.What is this passage mainly about? [A]Approaches to the commercial use of computers.

考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类

考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类 unit1 unit1 Some of the concerns surrounding Turkey’s application to join the European Union, to be voted on by the EU’s Council of Ministers on December 17th, are economic-in particular, the country’s relative poverty. Its GDP per head is less than a third of the average for the 15 pre-2004 members of the EU. But it is not far off that of one of the ten new members which joined on May 1st 2004 (Latvia), and it is much the same as those of two countries, Bulgaria and Romania, which this week concluded accession talks with the EU that could make them full members on January 1st 2007. Furthermore, the country’s recent economic progress has been, according to Donald Johnston, the secretary-general of the OECD, "stunning". GDP in the second quarter of the year was 13.4% higher than a year earlier, a rate of growth that no EU country comes close to matching. Turkey’s inflation rate has just fallen into single figures for the first time since 1972, and this week the country reached agreement with the IMF on a new three-year, $10 billion economic programme that will, according to the IMF’s managing director, Rodrigo Rato, "help Turkey... reduce inflation toward European levels, and enhance the economy’s resilience". Resilience has not historical ly been the country’s economic strong point. As recently as 2001, GDP fell by over 7%. It fell by more than 5% in 1994, and by just under 5% in 1999. Indeed, throughout the 1990s growth oscillated like an electrocardiogram recording a violent heart attack. This irregularity has been one of the main reasons (along with red tape and corruption) why the country has failed dismally to attract much-needed foreign direct investment. Its stock of such investment (as a percentage of GDP) is lower now than it was in the 1980s, and annual inflows have scarcely ever reached $1 billion (whereas Ireland attracted over $25 billion in 2003, as did Brazil in every year from 1998 to 2000). One deterrent to foreign investors is due to disappear on January 1st 2005. On that day, Turkey will take away the right of virtually every one of its citizens to call themselves a millionaire. Six noughts will be removed from the face value of the lira; one unit of the local currency will henceforth be worth what 1m are now-ie, about €0.53 ($0.70). Goods will have to be priced in both the new and old lira for the whole of the year, but foreign bankers and investors can begin to look forward to a time in Turkey when they will no longer have to juggle mentally with indeterminate strings of zeros. 注(1):本文选自Economist;12/18/2004, p115-115, 2/5p; 注(2):本文习题命题模仿2004年真题text 1第1题和第3题(1,3),2001年真题text 1第2题(2),1999年真题text 2第2题(4)和2002年真题text 3第4题(5); 1.What is Turkey’s economic situation now?
