Part Ⅳ Reading Comprehension (30%)

Directions :Read each passage and answer all the questions that follow the passage .On your

Answer Sheet ,circle the letter that best answers the question .

Passage 1

The sources of anti-Christian feeling were many and complex .On the more intangible side ,there was a general pique against the unwanted intrusion of the Western countries ;there was an understandable tendency to seek an external scapegoat for internal disorders only tangentially attributable to the West and perhaps most important ,there was a virile tradition of ethnocentricism ,vented long before against Indian Buddhism ,which ,since the seventeenth century ,focused on Western Christianity .Accordingly ,even before the missionary movement really got under way in the mid-nineteenth century ,it was already at a disadvantage .After 1860,as missionary activity in the hinterland expanded ,it quickly became apparent that in addition to the intangibles ,numerous tangible grounds for Chinese hostility abounded .

In part ,the very presence of the missionary evoked attack .They were ,after all ,the first foreigners to leave the treaty ports and venture into the interior ,and for a long time they were virtually the only foreigners whose quotidian labors carried them to the farthest reaches of the Chinese empire .For many of the indigenous population ,therefore ,the missionary stood as a uniquely visible symbol against which opposition to foreign intrusion could be vented .

In part ,too ,the missionary was attacked because the manner in which he made his presence felt after 1860 seemed almost calculated to offend .By indignantly waging battle against the notion that China was the sole fountainhead of civilization and ,more particularly ,by his assault on many facets of Chinese culture per se ,the missionary directly undermined the cultural hegemony of the gentry class .Also ,in countless ways ,he posed a threat to the gentry's traditional monopoly of social leadership .Missionaries ,particularly Catholics ,frequently assumed the garb of the Confucian literati .They were the only persons at the local level ,aside from the gentry ,who were permitted to communicate with the authorities as social equals .Amid they enjoyed an extraterritorial status in the interior that gave them greater immunity to Chinese law than had ever been possessed by the gentry .

Although it was the avowed policy of the Chinese government after 1860 that the new 考博家园

treaties were to be strictly adhered to ,in practice implementation depended on the wholehearted accord of provincial authorities .There is abundant evidence that cooperation was dilatory .At the root of this lay the interactive nature of ruler and ruled .

In a severely understaffed bureaucracy that ruled as much by suasion as by might ,the official ,almost always a stranger in the locality of his service ,depended on the active cooperation of the local gentry class .Energetic attempts to implement treaty provisions concerning missionary activities ,in direct defiance of gentry sentiment ,ran the risk of alienating this class and destroying future effectiveness .

1.In a vague way ,anti-Christian feeling stemmed from________.

A .the mere presence of invaders

B .a generalized unfocused feeling

C .the introduction to the West

D .none of the above

2.The author would agree that________.

A .many problems in China came from internal disorders due to Western influence

B .many problems in China came from China itself and were unrelated to the West

C scapegoats perform a necessary function and there should be more of them

D .all of the above are true

3.With which of the following statements would the author agree?

A .Ethnocentricism is a manly tradition .

B .The disdain toward Christianity was prefigured by a disdain toward Buddhism .

C .Although Christianity was not well received in China ,Buddhism was .

D .The author would agree with A and C

4.Missionaries________.

A .often dressed the same way as Chinese scholars did

B .were free of the legal constraints that bound the local indigenous population

C .had greater access to authority than Chinese peasants

D .may be described by all of the above

5.By which of the following statements may the dichotomy between government policy and its implementation be described?

A .There's many a slip twixt the cup and the lip .

B .You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink .

C .All that glitters is not gold .

D .All of the above apply in various ways to the dichotomy .

6.Provincial authorities________.

A .cooperated fully with the central government's policy

B .were alive to local feelings

C .were obliged to determine whether local sentiment tolerated implementation

D .may be described by B and C

Passage 2

Proponents of creating large private sectors as quickly as possible in transition economies offer both political and economic arguments to support their view .They argue that if democracy is to become a viable political system in the countries undergoing transition ,the state's monopoly 考博家园

over the bases of political power must be broken so that the countervailing sources of political influence may emerge (Berger ,1991).Otherwise ,the nomenklatura ,managers of state-owned firms and former bureaucrats ,may sabotage or block economic reforms ,as well as loot ,dissipate or transfer to their own possession the assets of the firms they manage .By creating property owners ,privatization can create an ascent middle class that has a stake in the creation and maintenance of an effective system of property rights and the pursuit of economic policies that would enable the private sector to flourish .

The most compelling economic reason for privatizing state-owned enterprises in the transition economies is that as units of production—as distinct from providers of secure employment—they were a failure .Private ownership is thus seen as the means of unlocking gains in productivity by stimulating productive efficiency ,offering greater motivation for both managers and workers ,and creating incentives to enter new markets and exit declining ones .Privatization ,it is argued ,will unleash dynamic small businesses ,act as a lure for foreign direct investment and speed the painful process of restructuring industry ,and it would accomplish all this while returning property to its rightful historical owners and raising funds for the government .

Despite this enticing list of promises ,many countries of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union remain reluctant to privatize .Some of the opposition is ideological .Some comes from insiders at state-owned enterprises ,both workers and managers ,who fear the loss of income and power .More broadly ,there are fears that privatization will reduce employment as private owners dismiss redundant workers and that the new private sector will be unlikely to provide the social benefits—like housing ,health and nursery care ,and recreation ,sports and vacation facilities—that state-owned enterprises often provided .At the extreme ,there are fears that if privatization exacerbates unemployment and causes declines in production ,reformist governments will be swept away .

Practical difficulties have compounded this resistance to privatization .The valuations of firms is difficult because capital markets barely exist ,accounting statements can be almost meaningless ,and profits and sales achieved in the communist era are a poor guide to future viability .Households in these countries do not have sufficient sayings to purchase many of the largest firms ,and ,even if they did have the money ,they view former stateowned enterprises as dubious investments .With a rudimentary banking system ,loans for the purchase of state property are seen as both risky and inflationary .In this muddled situation ,suspicions naturally arise that buyers are benefiting from low prices at the expense of the state .

7.The argument about democracy is________.

A .a political argument

B .an economic argument

C .an argument based upon demonstrable proof

D .an argument favored by all economists

8.The information contained between brackets refers to________.

A .something unknown

10.The author would necessarily agree________.

A .with the political arguments

B .that state-owned enterprises were successful in providing secure employment

Passage3

One traditional justification for greater judicial deference to agencies ,on legal questions in the U. S. administrative regime is she expertise argument :This justification comports with traditional understandings about the respective roles of the different branches of government and agencies' place in modern government .Agencies ,in this view ,are the technical experts that put into operation the policy judgments made by legislators .Indeed ,technical expertise is the raison d'etre of agencies ;by focusing on a particular regulatory field ,or sector of the economy ,agencies can do what Congress lacks the time and other institutional resources to do .Chevron v .National Resources ,which presented the question whether the statutory term “stationary source” referred to an entire pollution—emitting plant or ,rather ,to every single smokestack within such a plant ,supplies an apt example of when an agency's special technical expertise can aid statutory interpretation .According to the expertise argument ,agencies are deemed to understand even the legal ramifications of the problems agencies are created to work on .Admittedly ,the dichotomy between legal and factual questions may at times be difficult to maintain ,but that observation argues asmuchin favor of as it does against Chevron deference .

Agency expertise ,however ,is not the only common justification ,sometimes the doctrine is justified also on democratic grounds .According to the argument from democracy ,it is agencies ,not courts ,that are answerable to both the executive and the legislative representatives of the citizenry .Because judges are not elected ,while presidents and legislators are ,and because agencies but not judges are accountable to the President and to Congress ,judicial deference to agency decisions enhances the political legitimacy of the administrative regime .

Finally ,Chevron may be justified also in the name of administrative efficiency or coordination .Before Chevron ,different federal courts in different jurisdictions could interpret the same statutory provision differently .Multiple interpretations by different federal courts would mean that the statute “said” different things in those different jurisdictions .Such confusion could be eliminated by appellate review ,but agencies faced uncertainty pending review ,and the possibility of different interpretations across different appellate circuits remained .Because multiple agencies do not typically interpret the same statutory language ,however ,Chevron 考博家园

deference allows the agency charged with administering a statute to interpret that statute .One agency ,rather than many federal courts ,now resolves ambiguities in the statute that the agency in question is charged to administer .Such interpretive streamlining not only reduces uncertainty but also promotes regulatory coordination .Once an agency has settled on a reasonable interpretation ,it can act on the basis of that interpretation nationally .

13.The expertise argument assumes that________.

A .an agency has experts but that Congress does not

B .Congress is more interested in policy than in implementation

C .modern agencies are more responsible than agencies were in the past

D .all of the above are true

14.Chevron is underlined________.

A .because it is the name of a company

B .because it is one party to a law case

C .because it is the title of a book

D .because it is the title of a scholarly article

15.A “stationary source”________.

A .refers to where one goes to buy writing paper

B .may mean either a plant or a smokestack ,but not both

C .is in this instance a legal term whose meaning is being questioned

D .refers to something not covered by the above

16.We may assume that________.

A .different lower federal courts may have different opinions about a law

B .the decision of a lower federal court is not necessarily the final decision

C .both of the above are true

D .none of the above is true

17.The difference between an appellate circuit court and a given agency is________.

A .that the latter is local whereas the former is national

B .that a variety of appellate courts may review a given law in contradistinction to a given agency and its jurisdiction

C .that albeit the former specializes in a given area ,the latter has a range of expertise across many different areas

D .that the first is state—based while the latter is nationally—based

18.Throughout this passage ,“Chevron deference” refers to________.

A .favoring Chevron

B .favoring National Resources

C .favoring the agency involved

D .favoring none of the above

Passage 4

The main feature of a convention—a pattern of behavior that is customary ,expected ,and selg-enforced—is that ,out of a host of conceivable choices ,only one is actually used .This fact also explains why conventions are needed :they resolve problems of indeterminacy in interactions that have multiple equilibria .Indeed ,from a formal point of view ,we may define a convention as an equilibrium that everyone expects in interactions that have more than one equilibrium . 考博家园

The

economic significance of conventions is that they reduce transaction costs .Imagine the inconvenience if ,whenever two vehicles approached one another ,the drivers had to get out and negotiate which side of the road to take .Or consider the cost of having to switch freight from one type of railroad to another whenever a journey involves both a wide-gauge and a narrow-gauge railroad line .This was a common circumstance in the nineteenth century and not unknown in the late twentieth :until recently ,Australia had different rail gauges in the states of South Wales and Victoria ,forcing a mechanical switch for all trains bound between Sydney and Melbourne . Conventions are also a notable feature of legal contracts .People rely on standard leases ,wills ,purchasing agreements ,construction contracts and the like ,because it is less costly to fill in the blanks of a standard contract than to create one from scratch .Even more important ,such agreements are backed up by legal precedent ,so the signatories have even greater confidence that ,their terms are enforceable .

We may discern two ways in which conventions become established .One is by central authority .Following the French Revolution ,for example ,it was decreed that horse-drawn carriages in Paris should keep to the right .The previous custom had been for carriages to keep left and for pedestrians to keep right ,facing the oncoming traffic .Changing the custom was symbolic of the new order :going on the left had become politically incorrect because it was identified with the privileged classes :going on the right was the habit of the common many and therefore more “democratic”.

In Britain ,by contrast there seems to have been no single defining event that gave rise to the dominant convention of left-handed driving .Rather ,it grew up by local custom ,spreading from one region to another .This is the second mechanism by which conventions become established :the gradual accretion of precedent .The two mechanisms are not mutually exclusive ,of course .Society often converges on a convention first by an informal process of accretion :later it is codified into law to regulate exceptions .In many countries ,rules of the road were not legislated until the nineteenth century ,but by this time the law was merely reiterating what had already become established custom .

The surprising fact is that until the end of the eighteenth century ,the dominant convention was for horse-drawn carriages to keep to the left .This situation obtained in Great Britain ,France ,Sweden ,Portugal ,Austria ,Hungary ,Bohemia and parts of Italy .A chain of historical accidents—Napoleon adopting the new convention for his armies and imposing this convention in occupied countries ;Portugal sharing a common border with occupied Spain ;Austria ,Hungary and Bohemian Czechoslovakia falling under German rule ;Italy having elected a “modern” leader under a king—gradually tipped the balance .

19.In the first sentence ,the word “convention” is underlined________.

A .for personal reasons regarding style

B .to stress the importance of the word

C .because the author will define it

D .for none of the above reasons

20.A synonym for “equilibria” is________.

24.We may assume that________.

A .Italy's king codified the new regulations

B .Germany took its traffic customs from Austria ,Hungary and Bohemian Czechoslovakia

C .Napoleon conquered Portugal

D .Napoleon conquered Spain

Passage 5

The study of literary influence among women writers has frequently adopted a model of sororal or matrilineal sharing in an often explicitly stated contrast to Harold Bloom's wel-established theory of the “anxiety of influence” besetting male writers .In Bloom's powerfully influential vision ,that anxiety is posed as a kind of Freudian agon of sons against fathers ,a struggle of self-definition through resistance and mastery .Feminist critics have generally agreed with the Bloomian model as applied to male authors but have demurred with respect to women writers ,whom we have tended to see in familial terms .The model of a separate women's tradition in literature ,its inner coherence maintained by resistance to male dominance ,that was posited in the 1970s by Ellen Moers ,Elaine Showaher ,and Sandra M .Gilbert and Susan Gubar has been widely accepted .As Betsy Erkkila points out ,these groundbreaking feminist critics may not have significantly challenged the Bloomian model as applied to women writers and women precursors ,but they did at any rate establish their resistance to the masculine literary establishment and the masculine model of rivalry .Their successors and elaborators have argued forcefully that a women's tradition is constituted of a supportive community whose members welcome the all-too-rare voices of foremothers calling to them across the ages .Even the literary foremothers nearer at hand ,according to this prevailing vision ,have served as models for emulation rather than hegemonic powers to be challenged .Erkkila ,for example ,asks pointedly ,“How useful is the Bloomian model when the poet attempts to define herself not in relation to her poetic fathers but in relation to her poetic mothers .”Her answer (later modified because of greater complexity) is not very .A metaphor of motherhood and daughterhood has ,in the words of Linda R .Williams's recent revisionist theory ,“profoundly affected our reading of women's literary history .”Citing Alice Walker's argument about “nebulous forms of knowing” in In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens ,Luce Irigary's concept of connectedness (“One doesn't stir without the other”) and Helene Cixous's version of the authentic woman writer's writing in the “white ink” of her mother's milk in “The Laugh of the Medusa”,Williams calls for an interpretation of literary connectedness not as a revision of the Freudian and Bloomian system—which Erkkila ,by retaining the familial 考博家园

language ,has in a sense retained—but as a way “outside of an oedipal dynamic” altogether . The revisionist views of Williams and Erkkila are useful corrections of the prevailing mode of feminist theories that “romanticize ,maternalize ,essentialize ,and eternalize women writers and the relationships among them .”Neither ,however ,asks if women writers may not sometimes exhibit ,rather than either revise or escape ,the Bloomian model of literary rivalry .It is a prospect ,perhaps ,that we would prefer not to entertain .But it is a prospect that ,while clearly not typical ,may be less atypical than feminist critics may have supposed in our at times too idealizing and essentializing theories .

An instance of such a female adoption (and adaptation) of the Bloomian model of male writers' anxiety is Katherine Anne Porter's anxious and artfully duplicitous essay on a literary elder sister ,“Reflections on Willa Cather .”Operating in the loosely narrative fashion that characterized not only Porter's nonfiction but her very mode of thought ,the essay purports to pay retrospective tribute to one of the preeminent women writers of the early and mid-twentieth century ,but in fact asserts Porter's own stature in the world of letters .In the story of her essay ,the protagonist is not Cather ,as one would expect from the title ,but Porter herself .The essay is cast in a pervasive first-person mode in which the observing or commenting “I” becomes the active principle and its putative topic a passive reflector ,a mirror reflecting Katherine Anne Porter .

词汇(无) 完型(网络上找到的原文,试题没有这么长,压缩了。划线部分为虫友考后忆起的待选空及答案) In the last post, we discussed why fabrication and falsification are harmful to scientific knowledge-building. The short version is that if you’re trying to build a body of reliable knowledge about the world, making stuff up (rather than, say, making careful observations of that world and reporting those observations accurately) tends not to get you closer to that goal. Along with fabrication and falsification, plagiarism is widely recognized as a high crime against the project of science, but the explanations for why it’s harmful generally make it look like a different kind of crime than fabrication and falsification. For example, Donald E. Buzzelli (1999) writes: [P]lagiarism is an instance of robbing a scientific worker of the credit for his or her work, not a matter of corrupting the record. (p. 278) Kenneth D, Pimple (2002) writes: One ideal of science, identified by Robert Merton as ―disinterestedness,‖ holds that what matters is the finding, not who makes the finding. Under this norm, scientists do not judge each other’s work by reference to the race, religion, gender, prestige, or any other incidental characteristic of the researcher; the work is judged by the work, not the worker. No harm would be done to the Theory of Relativity if we discovered Einstein had plagiarized it… [P]lagiarism … is an offense against the community of scientists, rather than against science itself. Who makes a particular finding will not matter to science in one hundred years, but today it matters deeply to the community of scientists. Plagiarism is a way of stealing credit, of gaining credit where credit is not due, and credit, typically in the form of authorship, is the coin of the realm in science. An offense against scientists qua scientists is an offense against science, and in its way plagiarism is as deep an offense against scientists as falsification and fabrication are offenses against science. (p. 196) Pimple is claiming that plagiarism is not an offense that undermines(zqc2849) the knowledge-building project of science per se. Rather, the crime is in depriving other scientists of the reward they are due for participating in this knowledge-building project. In other words, Pimple says that plagiarism is problematic not because it is dishonest, but rather because it is unfair. While I think Pimple is right to identify an additional component of responsible conduct of science besides honesty, namely, a certain kind of fairness to one’s fellow scientists, I also think this analysis of plagiarism misses an important way(whj19890715) in which misrepresenting the source of words, ideas, methods, or results can undermine the knowledge-building project of science. On the surface, plagiarism, while potentially nasty to the person whose report is being stolen, might seem not to undermine the scientific community’s evaluation(zqc2849) of the phenomena. We are still, after all, bringing together and comparing a number of different observation reports to determine the stable features of our experience of the phenomenon. But this comparison often involves a dialogue as well. As part of the

2012四川大学考博英语真题及答案详解

四川大学2012考博英语真题及答案详解 阅读 1)Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique—a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born With, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people. When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually: have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? I t was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing a s “substandard”. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy (异端邪说). It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff—it’s brain stuff.” 21. The study of sign language is thought to be _____C___. A) a new way to look at the learning of language B) a challenge to tradi t ional, views on the nature of language C) an approach: to simplifying the grammatical structure of a language D) an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language(C) 22. The, present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by ___C_____. A) a famous scholar in the study of the human brain B) a leading specialist in the study of liberal arts C) an English teacher in a university for the deaf D) some senior experts in American Sign Language(C) 23. According to Stokoe, sign language is _____B___. A) a Substandard language B) a genuine language C) an artificial language D) an international language(B)

哈工大考博英语真题及答案

General English Admission Test For Non-English Major Ph.D. program (Harbin Institute of Technology) Passage One Questions 1-7 are based on the following passage: According to a recent theory, Archean-age gold-quartz vein systems were formed over two billion years ago from magmatic fluids that originated from molten granitelike bodies deep beneath the surface of the Earth. This theory is contrary to the widely held view that the systems were deposited from metamorphic fluids, that is, from fluids that formed during the dehydration of wet sedimentary rocks. The recently developed theory has considerable practical importance. Most of the gold deposits discovered during the original gold rushes were exposed at the Earth’s surface and were found because the y had shed trails of alluvial gold that were easily traced by simple prospecting methods. Although these same methods still leas to an occasional discovery, most deposits not yet discovered have gone undetected because they are buried and have no surface expression. The challenge in exploration is therefore to unravel the subsurface geology of an area and pinpoint the position of buried minerals. Methods widely used today include analysis of aerial images that yield a broad geological overview, geophysical techniques that provide data on the magnetic, electrical, and mineralogical properties of the rocks being investigated, and sensitive chemical tests that are able to detect : the subtle chemical halos that often envelop mineralization. However, none of these high-technology methods are of any value if the sites to which they are applied have never mineralized, and to maximize the chances of discovery the explorer must therefore pay particular attention to selecting the ground formations most likely to be mineralized. Such ground selection relies to varying degrees on conceptual models, which take into account theoretical studies of relevant factors. These models are constructed primarily from empirical observations of known mineral deposits and from theories of ore-forming processes. The explorer uses the models to identify those geological features that are critical to the formation of the mineralization being modeled, and then tries to select areas for exploration that exhibit as many of the critical features as possible. 1. The author is primarily concerned with . A. advocating a return to an older methodology. B. explaining the importance of a recent theory.

In fact, our regulations specify virtual y all the ingredients of the typical suburban community, with a bit of political rhetoric thrown in. A workable American New Town formula should be established as firmly here as the national formula was in Britain. All possible social and governme ntal innovations as well as financial fac tors s hould be thoroughly considered and accommodated in this policy.

2015中国科技大学考博英语真题阅读理解精练Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war?War is an ancient institution,which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always bad and usually foolish,but in the past human race managed to live with it.Modern ingenuity has changed this.Either man will abolish war,or war will abolish man.For the present,it is nuclear weapons that cause the most serious danger,but bacteriological or chemical weapons may,before long,offer an even greater threat.If we succeed in abolishing nuclear weapons,our work will not be done.It will never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war.To do this,we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way,not as contests of force,in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in killing people,but by arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law.It is not easy to change very old mental habits,but this is what must be attempted. There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology would prevent war.I believe this to be a big error.All ideologies are based upon dogmatic statements that are,at best,doubtful,and at worst,totally false.Their adherents believe in them so fanatically that they are willing to go to war in support of them.
