Passage 21

For three decades we’ve heard endlessly about the virtues of aerobic (increasing oxygen consumption)exercise.Medical authorities have praised running and jumping as the key to good health,and millions of Americans have taken to the treadmill to reap the rewards.But the story is changing.Everyone from the American Heart Association to the surgeon general’S office has recently embraced strength training as a complement to aerobics.And as weight lifting has gone mainstream,SO has the once obscure practice known as“Super Slow”training.Enthusiasts claim that by pumping iron at a snail’s pace--making each“rep”(repeat)last 1 4 seconds instead of the usual 7—you can safely place extraordinary demands on your muscles,and call forth an extraordinary response.Slow lifting may not be the only exercise you need,as some advocates believe,but the benefits are often dramatic.

Almost anyone can handle this routine.The only requirements are complete focus and a tolerance for deep muscular burn.For each exercise--leg press,bench press,shoulder press and SO On—70u set the machine to provide only moderate resistance.But as you draw out each repeat,depriving yourself of impetus,the weight soon feels unbearable.Defying the impulse to stop,you ke印going until you can’t complete a repeat.Then you sustain your vain effort for 1 0 more seconds while the weight sinks gradually toward its cradle.Intense? Uncomfortable? Totally.But once you embrace muscle failure as the goal of the workout,it can become almost pleasure.

The goal is not to bunr calories while you're exercising but to make your body burn them all the time.Running a few miles may make you sweat,but it expends only 1 00 calories per mile,and it doesn’t stimulate much bone or muscle development.Strength training doesn’t burn many calories,either.But when you push a muscle to failure,you set off a pour of physiological changes.As the muscle recovers over several days,it will thicken--and the new muscle tissue will demand sustenance.By the time you add three pounds of muscle,your body requires an extra 9,000 calories a month just to break even.Hold your diet steady and,very quickly,you are vaporizing body fat.

One might have benefited from any strength—training program.But advocates insist the slowtechnique is safer and more effective than traditional methods.

译文:

三十年来我们不停地听到关于有氧(增加氧气消耗量)运动的种种优点。医学权威们都曾称赞,跑步和跳跃是获得健康的关键,于是数百万美国人选择靠跑步机获得健康。但这一情形正在改变。近来,从美国心脏协会到外科主任的办公室,每个人都信奉力量练习是有氧运动的一项补充。同举重运动一样,一度默默无闻的“超慢速’’运动成了主流。狂热者们称,以极其缓慢的速度——使每个动作重复持续14秒而不是通常的7秒——提升重物,你就肯定会给肌肉施加巨大的负荷,并产生特别的效果。正如一些倡导者所说,慢速举重也许不是你需要的惟一练习,但它的益处却往往是显著的。

几乎每个人都可以操作这套步骤,仅仅需要高度集中的注意力和对肌肉灼伤的忍耐力。在你每一次练习中——腿部伸展、仰卧举重、肩膊推举等等——将机器设定为提供最适度的阻力。但是由于你每次重复动作时动量逐渐减少,重量很快就会显得无法承受。你要忍住想要停下来的冲动,直到你无法坚持再重复一次。接着,你要保持住自己徒然的用力达10秒以上,直到力量全部用尽。太剧烈?不舒服?当然。即便这样的健身运动没能帮你塑造出理想

的肌肉,它也能让你获得一种享受。你的目的不是只在做练习时燃烧卡路里,而是要使你的身体时时刻刻燃烧卡路里。跑几英里会使你出汗,但是I英里仅仅消耗100卡路里,而且它不能刺激骨头和肌肉的发展。力量训练同样不能燃烧很多卡路里。可是当你将肌肉拉伸到无力时,就引发了大量生理学上的变化。肌肉的恢复需要若干天时间,它会变相——而新的肌肉组织将需要消耗能量。当你增加了3磅肌肉的时候,身体为了收支平衡,每个月就需要额外的9,000卡路里。保特稳定的饮食,你就会很快消耗掉体内脂肪。

人们可以从任何方式的力量训练项目中得到益处。但是倡导者们坚持认为慢速技巧要比传统方法更加安全和有效。

答案:

1. D细节题。根据题干关键词仃eadmiu定位文章第一段,第二句提到美国人喜欢练脚踏车是为了reaDthe rewards(得到报偿),由此可知D“从运动中获得实际的好处”最符合题意。其余三项A “与生俱来地对他们健康有好处”,人在跑步机上运动才会对身体有益,而不是跑步机本身对健康有益,可排除;B“由于跑步机耗氧量大”,跑步机耗氧是为了锻炼身体,但并非最终目的,排除;c“由于受到权威的赞美”属于偷换概念,因为文中提到受称赞的是running and jumping,也排除。

2. B推断题。根据题干关键词super slOW定位文章第一段,其中提到“同举重运动一样,一度默默无闻的‘超慢速’运动也已成为了主流”,可知B说法最恰当。A中的misunderstood是对obscure(模糊的,不引人注意的)的有意曲解;c的内容在文中并未提到;D 言过其实,文中只说strength training(力量锻炼)是a complement to aerobics(有氧健身运动的一个补充),但没有说“Super。S10w”training成为有氧运动的核心,故排除。

3. c推断题。题干关键词slowli埘ng(慢速举重)最先出现在第一段最后一句,随后第二段进一步描述该运动要求高度集中的注意力和对肌肉灼伤的忍耐力。选项A中所说的“给肌肉施加巨大的负荷”,不同于文中的“对肌肉灼伤的忍耐力”,二者程度不同;选项B在文中并未提及,D说的是举重锻炼的不同部位而非slowl确ng的要求,因此C“忍受由于练习所致的肌肉疼痛”符合文意。

4. A细节题。由题干中的信息词make each rep定位第二段第四句“但由于你每次重复动作时动量逐渐减少,重量很快就会显得无法承受”。由此可推知,慢速举重者可能会面临动量损失的情况,故选项A最符合题意。B文中未提;C与文中提到feel unbearable相反、D与文意相反。

5. D语义题。由题干定位第三段“当你增加了3磅肌肉的时候,身体为了,每个月就需要额外的9,00()卡路里”。结合选项,A和B均指“打乱身体能量平衡”,实际上大量的运动已经使身体能量不平衡了,无需再打乱平衡,故两者均可排除;c“盈余”,结合常识可知,这根本不利于健康,可排除;D“收支平衡”即保持身体能量平衡,符合题意。

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;

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,为学员引路。

如何选择考研辅导班:

在考研准备的过程中,会遇到不少困难,尤其对于跨专业考生的专业课来说,通过报辅导班来弥补自己复习的不足,可以大大提高复习效率,节省复习时间,大家可以通过以下几个方面来考察辅导班,或许能帮你找到适合你的辅导班。

师资力量:师资力量是考察辅导班的首要因素,考生可以针对辅导名师的辅导年限、辅导经验、历年辅导效果、学员评价等因素进行综合评价,询问往届学长然后选择。判断师资力量关键在于综合实力,因为任何一门课程,都不是由一、两个教师包到底的,是一批教师配合的结果。还要深入了解教师的学术背景、资料著述成就、辅导成就等。凯程考研名师云集,李海洋、张鑫教授、方浩教授、卢营教授、孙浩教授等一大批名师在凯程授课。而有的机构只是很普通的老师授课,对知识点把握和命题方向,欠缺火候。

对该专业有辅导历史:必须对该专业深刻理解,才能深入辅导学员考取该校。在考研辅导班中,从来见过如此辉煌的成绩:凯程教育拿下2017五道口金融学院状元,考取五道口15人,清华经管金融硕士10人,人大金融硕士15个,中财和贸大金融硕士合计20人,北师大教育学7人,会计硕士保录班考取30人,翻译硕士接近20人,中传状元王园璐、郑家威都是来自凯程,法学方面,凯程在人大、北大、贸大、政法、武汉大学、公安大学等院校斩获多个法学和法硕状元,更多专业成绩请查看凯程网站。在凯程官方网站的光荣榜,成功学员经验谈视频特别多,都是凯程战绩的最好证明。对于如此高的成绩,凯程集训营班主任邢老师说,凯程如此优异的成绩,是与我们凯程严格的管理,全方位的辅导是分不开的,很多学生本科都不是名校,某些学生来自二本三本甚至不知名的院校,还有很多是工作了多年才回来考的,大多数是跨专业考研,他们的难度大,竞争激烈,没有严格的训练和同学们的刻苦学习,是很难达到优异的成绩。最好的办法是直接和凯程老师详细沟通一下就清楚了。

建校历史:机构成立的历史也是一个参考因素,历史越久,积累的人脉资源更多。例如,凯程教育已经成立10年(2005年),一直以来专注于考研,成功率一直遥遥领先,同学们有兴趣可以联系一下他们在线老师或者电话。

有没有实体学校校区:有些机构比较小,就是一个在写字楼里上课,自习,这种环境是不太好的,一个优秀的机构必须是在教学环境,大学校园这样环境。凯程有自己的学习校区,有吃住学一体化教学环境,独立卫浴、空调、暖气齐全,这也是一个考研机构实力的体现。此外,最好还要看一下他们的营业执照。

2015考研英语阅读理解精读P18—医学

2015考研英语阅读理解精读P18—医学 Passage 18(Doctor-assisted Suicide:Is It Ever an Option?) Should doctor-assisted suicide ever be a legal option? It involves the extreme measure of taking the life of a terminally ill patient when the patient is in extreme pain and the chances for recovery appear to be none.Those who argue against assisted suicide do so by considering the roles of the patient,the doctor,and nature in these situations. Should the patient take an active role in assisted suicide? When a patient is terminally ill and in great pain,those who oppose assisted suicide say that it should not be up to that patient to decide what his or her fate will be.There are greater powers at work that determine when a person dies,for example,nature.Neither science nor personal preference should take precedence over these larger forces. What role should the doctor have? Doctors,when taking the Hippocratic oath,swear to preserve life at all costs,and it is their ethical and legal duty to follow both the spirit and the letter of this oath.It is their responsibilities to heal the sick,and in the cases when healing is not possible,then the doctor is obliged to make the dying person comfortable.Doctors are trained never to hasten death.Those who oppose assisted suicide believe that doctors who do help terminally ill patients die are committing a crime,and they should be dealt with accordingly.Doctors are also,by virtue of their humanness,capable of making mistakes.Doctors could quite possibly say,for instance,that a cancer patient was terminal,and then the illness could later turn out not to be so serious.There is always an element of doubt concerning the future outcome of human affairs. The third perspective to consider when thinking about assisted suicide is the role of nature.Life is precious.Many people believe that it is not up to human beings to decide when to end their own or another’s life.Only nature determines when it is the right time for a person to die.To assist someone in suicide is not only to break criminal laws,but to break divine 1aws as well. These general concerns of those who oppose assisted suicide are valid in certain contexts of the assisted suicide question.For instance,patients cannot always be certain of their medical conditions.Pain clouds judgment,and so the patient should not be the sole arbiter of her or his own destiny.Patients do not usually choose the course of their medical treatment,so they shouldn’t be held completely responsible for decisions related to it.Doctors are also fallible,and it is understandable that they would not want to make the final decision about when death should occur.Since doctors are trained to prolong life,they usually do not elect to take it by prescribing assisted suicide. I believe that blindly opposing assisted suicide does no one a service.If someone is dying of

Bank, companies, and government agencies use secret code in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags (落后) behind code making. The science of decoding and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters a re “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example, let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for each letter, th e message “Meet me” would read “1 3 5 20 13 5”. A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”.The message “bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me”. 40 However, it

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".

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

TEXT 2 He emerged, all of a sudden, in 1957: the most explosive new poetic talent of the English post-war era. Poetry specialised, at that moment, in the wry chronicling of the everyday. The poetry of Yorkshire-born Ted Hughes, first published in a book called “The Hawk in the Rain” when he was 27, was unlike anything written by his immediate predecessors. Driven by an almost Jacobean rhetoric, it had a visionary fervour. Its most eye-catching characteristic was Hughes's ability to get beneath the skins of animals: foxes, otters, pigs. These animals were the real thing all right, but they were also armorial devices—symbols of the countryside and lifeblood of the earth in which they were rooted. It gave his work a raw, primal stink. It was not only England that thought so either. Hughes's book was also published in America, where it won the Galbraith prize, a major literary award. But then, in 1963, Sylvia Plath, a young American poet whom he had first met at Cambridge University in 1956, and who became his wife in the summer of that year, committed suicide. Hughes was vilified for long after that, especially by feminists in America. In 1998, the year he died, Hughes broke his own self-imposed public silence about their relationship in a book of loose-weave poe ms called “Birthday Letters”.In this new and exhilarating collection of real letters, Hughes returns to the issue of his first wife's death, which he calls his “big and unmanageable event”. He felt his talent muffled by the perpetual eavesdropping upon his every move. Not until he decided to publish his own account of their relationship did the burden begin to lighten. The analysis is raw, pained and ruthlessly self-aware. For all the moral torment, the writing itself has the same rush and vigour that possessed Hughes's early poetry.

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。
