Part II Reading Comprehension(40%)

Directions:There are four reading passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences.For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet I with a single line through the center.

(1)

In1896a Georgia couple suing for damages in the accidental death of their two year old was told that since the child had made no real economic contribution to the family,there was no liability for damages.In contrast,lessthan a century later,in1979,the parents of a three year old sued in New York for accidental-death damages and won an award of$750,000.The transformation in social values implicit in juxta-posing these two incidents is the subject of Viviana Zelizer's excellent book,Pricing the Priceless Child.During the nineteenth century, she argues,the concept of the"useful"child who contributed to the family economy gave way gradually to the present-day notion of the"useless"child who,though producing no income for,and indeed extremely costly to,its parents,is yet considered emotionally "priceless."Well established among segments of the middle and upper classes by the mid-1800's,this new view of childhood spread through-out society in the O ate-nineteenth DQG early-twentieth centuries as reformers introduced child-labor regulations and compulsory education laws predicated in part on the assumption that a child's emotional value made child labor taboo.For Zelizer the origins of this transformation were many and complex.The gradual erosion of children's productive value in a maturing industrial economy,the decline in birth and death rates,especially in child mortality,and the development of the companionate family(a family in which members were united by explicit bonds of love rather than duty)were all factors critical in changing the assessment of children's worth.Yet "expulsion of children from the'cash nexus,'……

although clearly shaped by profound changes in the economic,occupational,and family structures,"Zelizer maintains."was also part of a cultural process'of sacral-ization'of children's lives."Protecting children from the crass business world became enormously important for late-nineteenth-century middle-class Americans,she suggests;this sacralization was a way of resisting what they perceived as the relentless corruption of human values by the marketplace.

In stressing the cultural determinants of a child's worth.Zelizer takes issue with practitioners of the new"sociological economics,"who have analyzed such tradi-tionally sociological topics as crime,marriage,educa-tion,and health solely in terms of their economic deter-minants.Allowing only a small role for cultural forces in the form of individual "preferences,"these sociologists tend to view all human behavior as directed primarily by the principle of maximizing economic gain.Zelizer is highly critical of this approach,and emphasizes instead the opposite phenomenon:the power of social values to transform price. As children became more valuable in emotional terms,she argues,their"exchange"or" sur-render"value on the market,that is,the conversion of their intangible worth into cash terms,became much greater.

31.It can be inferred from the passage that accidental-death damage awards in america during the nineteenth century tended to be based principally on the

A.earnings of the person at time of death

B.wealth of the party causing the death

C.degree of culpability of the party causing the death

D.amount of money that had been spent on the person killed

32 ,t can be inferred from the passage that in the early1800's children were generally regarded by their families as individuals who

A.needed enormous amounts of security and affection

B.required constant supervision while working

C.present the central thesis a recent book

D.refute a traditional explanation of a social phenomenon

33which of the following alternative explanations of the change in the cash value of children would be most likely to be put forward by sociological economists as they are described in the passage?

A.The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because paraents began to increase their emotional investment in the upbringing of their children.

B.The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because their expected earning over the course of a lifetime increased greatly.

C.The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because the spread of human L tiarian ideals resulted in a whole VF ale reappraisal of the worth of an individual.

D.The cash value of children rose during the nineteenth century because compulsory education laws reduced the supply,and thus raised thd costs,of available child labor.

34 7he prima U\purpose of the passage is to

A.review the literature in a new academic subfield

B.present the central thesis of a recent book

C.contrast two approaches to analyzing historical change

D.refute a traditional explanation of a V ocial phenomenon

35=elizer refers to all of the following as important influences in changing the assessment of children's worth except changes in

A.the mortality rate

B.the nature of industry

C.the nature of the family

D.attitudes toward reform movements

(2)

A stout old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in Petrograd to the great confusion of the traffic and with no small peril to herself.It was pointed out to her that the pavement was the place for pedestrians,but she replied:'I'm going to walk where I like. We've got liberty now.'It did not occur to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled the pedestrian to walk down the middle of the road,then the end of such liberty would be universal chaos.Everybody would be getting in everybody else's way and nobody would get anywhere.Individual liberty would have become social anarchy.There is a danger of the world getting liberty-drunk in these days like the old lady with the basket,and it is just as well to remind ourselves of what the rule of the road means.It means that in order that the liberties of all may be preserved,the liberties of everybody must be curtailed.When the policeman,say,at Piccadilly Circus steps into the middle of the road and puts out his hand,he is the symbol not of tyranny,but of liberty.You may not think so.You may,being in a hurry, and seeing your car pulled up by this insolence of office,feel that your liberty has been outraged.How dare this fellow interfere with your free use of the public highway?Then,if you are a reasonable person,you will reflect that if he did not interfere with you,he would interfere with no one,and the result would be that Piccadilly Circus would be a maelstrom that you would never cross at all.You have submitted to a curtailment of private liberty in order that you may enjoy a social order which makes your liberty a reality.Liberty is not a personal affair only,but a social contract.It is an accommodation of interests.In matters which do not touch anybody else's liberty,of course,I may be as free as I like.If I choose to go down the road in a dressing-gown who shall say me nay?You have liberty to laugh at me, but I have liberty to be indifferent to you.And ifI have a fancy for dyeing my hair,or waxing my moustache(which heaven forbid),or wearing an overcoat and sandals,or going to bed

late or getting up early,I shall follow my fancy and ask no man's permission.I shall not inquire of you whether I may eat mustard with my mutton.And you will not ask me whether you may follow this religion or that,whether you may prefer Ella Wheeler Wilcox to Wordsworth,or champagne to shandy.In all these and a thousand other details you and I please ourselves and ask no one's leave.We have a whole kingdom in which we rule alone, can do what we choose,be wise or ridiculous,harsh or easy,conventional or odd.But directly we step out of that kingdom,our personal liberty of action becomes qualified by other people's liberty.I might like to practice on the trombone from midnight till three in the morning.If I went on to the top of Everest to do it,I couldplease myself,but ifI doitinmybedroommyfamilywillobject,andif Idoitoutinthestreets theneighborswill remind me that my liberty to blow the trombone mustnot interfere with their liberty to sleep in quiet.There are a lot of people in the world,and I have to accommodate my liberty to their liberties.We are all liable to forget this,and unfortunately we are much more conscious of the imperfections of others in this respect than of our own.A reasonable consideration for the rights or feelings of others is the foundation of social conduct.It is in the small matters of conduct,in the observance of the rule of the road,that we pass judgment upon ourselves,and declare that we are civilized or uncivilized.The great moments of heroism and sacrifice are rare.It is the little habits of commonplace intercoursethat make up the great sum of life and sweeten or make bitter the journey.

36.The author might have stated his‘rule of the road’as

A.do not walk in the middle of the road

B.follow the orders of policemen

C.do not behave inconsiderately in public

D.do what you like in private

37.The author’s attitude to the old lady in paragraph one is

A.condescending

B.intolerant

C.objective

D.supportive

38Asituationanalogous to the‘insolence of office’described inparagraph2would be

A.a teacher correcting grammar errors

B.an editor shortening the text of an article

C.a tax inspector demanding to see someone’s accounts

D.an army office giving orders to a soldier

39The author assumes that he may be as free as he likes in

A.all matters of dress and food

B.any situation which does not interfere with the liberty of others

C.anything that is not against the law

D.his own home

40In the sentence‘We are all liable....’the author is

A.pointing out a general weakness

B.emphasizing his main point

C.countering a general misconception

D.suggesting a remedy

The name of Florence Nightingale lives in the memory of the world by virtue of the heroic adventure of the Crimea.Had she died-as she nearly did-upon her return to England,her reputation would hardly have been different;her legend would have come down to us almost as we know it today-that gentle vision of female virtue which first took shape before the adoring eyes of the sick soldiers at Scutari.Yet,as a matter of fact,she lived for more than half a century after the Crimean War;and during the greater part of that long period all the energy and all the devotion of her extraordinary nature were working at their highest pitch. What she accomplished in those years of unknown labor could,indeed,hardly have been more glorious than her Crimean triumphs;but it was certainly more important.The true history was far stranger even than the myth.In Miss Nightingale's own eyes the adventure of the Crimea was a mere incident-scarcely more than a useful stepping-stone in her career.It was the fulcrum with which she hoped to move the world;but it was only the fulcrum.For more than a generation she was to sit in secret,working her lever:and her real life began at the very moment when,in popular imagination,it had ended.She arrived in England in a shattered state of health.The hardships and the ceaseless efforts of the last two years had undermined her nervous system;her heart was affected;she suffered constantly from fainting-fits and terrible attacks of utter physical prostration.The doctors declared that one thing alone would save her-a complete and prolonged rest.But that was also the one thing with which she would have nothing to do.She had never been in the habit of resting;why should she begin now?Now,when her opportunity had come at last;now,when the iron was hot,and it was time to strike?No;she had work to do;and,come what might,she would do it. The doctors protested in vain;in vain her family lamented and entreated,in vain her friends pointed out to her the madness of such a course.Madness?Mad-possessed-perhaps she was.

A frenzy had seized upon her.As she lay upon her sofa,gasping,she devoured blue-books, dictated letters,and,in the intervals of her palpitations,cracked jokes.For months at a stretchshe never lefther bed.But she would not rest.At this rate,the doctors assuredher,even if she did not die,she would become an invalid for life.She could not help that;there was work to be done;and,as for rest,very likely she might rest...when she had done it.Wherever she went,to London or in the country,in the hills of Derbyshire,or among the rhododendrons at Embley,she was haunted by a ghost.It was the specter of Scutari-the hideous vision of the organization of a military hospital.She would lay that phantom,or she would perish.The whole system of the Army Medical Department,the education of the Medical Officer,the regulations of hospital procedure...rest?How could she rest while these things were as they were,while,if the like necessity were to arise again,the like results would follow?And,even in peace and at home,what was the sanitary condition of the Army?The mortality in the barracks,was,she found,nearly double the mortality in civil life.'You might as well take1, 100men every year out upon Salisbury Plain and shoot them,'she said.After inspecting the hospitals at Chatham,she smiled grimly.'Yes,this is one more symptom of the system which, in the Crimea,put to death16,000men.'Scutari had given her knowledge;and it had given her power too:her enormous reputation was at her back-an incalculable force.Other work, other duties,might lie before her;but the most urgent,the most obvious,of all was to look to the health of theArmy.

41.According to the author,the work done during the last fifty years of Florence Nightingale's life was,when compared with her work in the Crimea,all of the following except

A.less dramatic

B.less demanding

C.less well-known to the public

D.more important

42Paragraph two paints a picture of a woman who is

A.mentally shattered

B.stubborn and querulous

C.physically weak but mentally indomitable

D.purposeful yet tiresome

43.The primary purpose of paragraph3is to

A.account for conditions in the army

B.show the need for hospital reform

C.explain Miss Nightingale's main concerns

D.argue that peace time conditions were worse than wartime conditions

44The author's attitude to his material is

A.disinterested reporting of biographical details

B.over-inflation of a reputation

C.debunking a myth

D.interpretation as well as narration

45In her statement Miss Nightingale intended to

A.criticize the conditions in hospitals

B.highlight the unhealthy conditions under which ordinary soldiers were living

C.prove that conditions in the barracks were as bad as those in a military hospital

D.ridicule the dangers of army life

(4)

How many really suffer as a result of labor market problems?This is one of the most critical yet contentious social policy questions.In many ways,our social statistics exaggerate the degree of hardship.Unemployment does not have the same dire consequences today as it did in the1930s when most of the unemployed were primary breadwinners,when income and earnings were usually much closer to the margin of subsistence,and when there were no countervailing social programs for those failing in the labor market.Increasing affluence,the riseof families with morethan one wage earner,the growing predominance of secondary earners among the unemployed,and improved social welfare protection have unquestionably mitigated the consequences of joblessness.Earnings and income data also overstate the dimensions of hardship.Among the millions with hourly earnings at or below the minimum wage level,the overwhelming majority are from multiple-earner,relatively affluent families. Most of those counted by the poverty statistics are elderly or handicapped or have family responsibilities which keep them out of the labor force,so the poverty statistics are by no means an accurate indicator of labor market pathologies.Yet there are also many ways our social statistics underestimate the degree of labor-market-related hardship.The unemployment counts exclude the millions of fully employed workers whose wages are so low that their families remain in poverty.Low wages and repeated or prolonged unemployment frequently interact to undermine the capacity for self-support.Since the number experiencing joblessness at some time during the year is several times the number unemployed in any month,those who suffer as a result of forced idleness can equal or exceed average annual unemployment,even though only a minority of the jobless in any month really suffer.For every person counted in the monthly unemployment tallies,there is another working part-time because of the inability to find full-time work,or else outside the labor

force but wanting a job.Finally,income transfers in our country have always focused on the elderly,disabled,and dependent,neglecting the needs of the working poor,so that the dramatic expansion of cash and in-kind transfers does not necessarily mean that those failing in the labor market are adequately protected.As a result of such contradictory evidence,itis uncertain whether those suffering seriously as a result of labor market problems number in the hundreds of thousands or the tens of millions,and,hence,whether high levels of joblessness can be tolerated or must be countered by job creation and economic stimulus. There is only one area of agreement in this debatea€”that the existing poverty,employment, and earnings statistics are inadequate for one their primary applications,measuring the consequences of labor market problems.

46Which of the following is the principal topic of the passage?

A.What causes labor market pathologies that resultin suffering

B.Why income measures are imprecise in measuring degrees of poverty

C.Where the areas of agreement are among poverty,employment,and earnings figures

D.How social statistics give an unclear picture of the degree of hardship caused by low wages and insufficient employment opportunities

47The author uses“labor market problems”in lines1-2to refer to which of the following?

A.The overall causes of poverty

B.Deficiencies in the training of the work force

C.Trade relationships among producers of goods

D.Shortages of jobs providing adequate income

48Which of the following proposals best responds to the issues raised by the author?

A.Innovative programs using multiple approaches should be set up to reduce the level of unemployment.

B.A compromise should be found between the positions of those who view joblessness as an evil greater than economic control and those who hold the opposite view.

C.New statistical indices should be developed to measure the degree to which unemployment and inadequately paid employment cause suffering.

D.Consideration should be given to the ways in which statistics can act as partial causes of the phenomena that they purport to measure.

49The author states that the mitigating effect of social programs involving income transfers on the income level of low-income people is often not felt by

A.the employed poor

B.dependent children in single-earner families

C.workers who become disabled

D.retired workers

50According to the passage,one factor that causes unemployment and earnings figures to overpredict the amount of economic hardship is the

A.recurrence of periods of unemployment for a group of low-wage workers

B.possibility that earnings may be received from more than one job per worker

C.fact that unemployment counts do not include those who work for low wages and remain poor

D.establishment of a system of record-keeping that makes it possible to compile poverty statistics

（1）全文翻译1896年，佐治亚洲一对夫妇起诉要求为他们两岁孩子的意外死亡偿付赔偿金，但被告知因为孩子还不能给家里挣钱，所以不能得到赔偿。相反，近一个世纪后，1979年，一个三岁儿童的父母因其意外死亡获得价值75万美元的赔偿。

这两个相似案例所体现的社会价值方面含蓄的转变是Viviana Zelizer《给无价的孩子估价》这本书的主题。她指出，在19世纪，为家里创造经济财富有“有用”儿童的概念逐渐转变为现今的“无用”儿童概念，即；儿童虽然不创造收入，且实际上消耗父母的大量金钱，但在感情上却被看作“无价这玉”。这一观点19世纪中期以前已在部分上中流社会中树立起来，19世纪晚期、20世纪前斯被全社会接受。当时，改革者们通过童工管理制度、义务教育法，部分实现了原来的一些设想，即：鉴于儿童的感情上的价值，应禁止童工现象产生。这一转化的原因在Zelizer看来是纷繁复杂的。儿童生产价值的成熟工业经济中逐渐下降，出生、死亡率的下降特别是儿童死亡率的降低，以及友爱家庭的发展（家庭成员之间靠爱不是靠责任联系在一起），都是儿童价值转变的重要因素。然而，Zelizer指出，使儿童和金钱判断标准脱离，除了有经济、职业家庭结构等主面深刻的原因外，也是当时把儿童生命“神圣化”的文化现象的一部分。她指出，保护儿童不受完全商业社会的侵害是一件对当时美国人极为重要的事情。这种“神圣化”是抵御他们所认为的“人性被市场经济无情地败坏”（这一现象）的途径。

Zelizer强调这一变化的文化决定性，这与一些社会经济学家的观点不同。那些人对传统社会学课题，如犯罪、婚姻、教育、等都只以经济决定的角度来分析，只承认一点儿个人偏好上的文化决定性，认为所有人类行为都是为了获得最大的经济利益。Zelizer狠狠地批判这一观点，并强调一个相反现象：社会价值的力量能改变价格。当儿童在感情这一点上更有价值之后，他们的“交换”、转让价值，即把他们的无形价值转换为金钱形式，也在市场中变理更大了。

31正确答案:A

解释:从文中推断，19世纪时，意外死亡保险在美国一般建立在什么基础上？原文未提这种说法，，这个例子中一个小孩未被赔偿，因为他不能给家里挣钱，取非得：A．正确。一个人死时，收入是多少。B．事故责任方财富。无。C．事故责任方过错程度。无。D．花在死人身上的费用。

32正确答案:C

解释:在19世纪早期孩子们被家庭看作是：原文讲了一个儿童价值的一个转化过程。19世纪早期就应该是此转化发展之前的现象，即”useful child”。A．需大量照料、爱抚。这是价值变化之后特点。B．工作时需固定监督。无。C．正确。对于一个家庭的经济上的繁荣很重要。符合原文，一个为家里创造财富的“useful”儿童。D．不能长期上学.

33正确答案:B

解释:下面几个解释儿童以金钱衡量的价值起了变化的选项，哪一个符合社会经济学家的观点？先总结社会经济学家的观点，把人的一切行为解释为试图获取最大的经济利益。几个选项看because之后的内容就可以了。A．父母开始增加对其子女的感表投资。这是Zelizer 的观点。B．正确。儿童们在一生能获得的收入有较大增长。之所以对儿童投更多资，是因为回报会更多，符合上文归纳。C．人文思想的传播引起了一场对个人价值的再评价。无。D．义务教育法减少了童工资源，扩大了其成本。因果倒置，义务教育法是儿童价值转变的结果。

34正确答案:B

解释:本文主要目的：A．”New academic subfield”。无。B．对最近一本书提出主题。正确。阐明Zelizer在斯最近著作中的主张。C．对比两个分析历史变化的观点。易混。作者在最后一段提出的Zelizer观点的对立面，社会政治学家只是补充说明，而不是本文的主题内容。D．驳斥对一社会现象的传统解释。

35正确答案:D

解释:Zelizer提出以下几个对儿童价值变化起重大影响的因素，除了哪一个没有提？A．死亡率。B．工业性质。C．家庭性质。D．对改革运动的态度。正确，显然原文没有提过。完型答案：

(完整版)复旦大学2015年考博英语试题回忆版整理

2015年考博 单选： 有少部分原题（出自曾建彬《研究生英语》《研究生高级英语》） 阅读理解： 第一篇：Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, most of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances, deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form. of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—that purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits? So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births—but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and the capacity of a man is to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form. of "college" imaginable. Among tribal people all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect every- body is equipped for life. It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to regain. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterates"—if the term can be applied to peoples without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries. Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry, which, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents' and therefore the jungles and the savannahs know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child. (选自新概念) 第二篇：关于在Internet site上挂条幅广告销售商品的。第一题问：文章开头是什么意思，我选择了，和传统广告一样，互联网广告也是为了促使消费者冲动消费。有一题问：下列哪些选项作者没提及：我选了传统广告在较长的竞争中必然会战胜网络广告方式。有一题关于互联网广告的：我选择了需要做些change来保持他的竞争性什么的。最后一题问作者对互联网广告的态度：uncertain,objective,X,X.另两个记不清了，我选的客观的。 第三篇：关于脸书，推特等这些网络平台火的原因，强调以前的网络平台web1.只是让你看别人提供的content，而web 2.如这些社交平台是让你能跟别人交流自己creat content,而不是enjoy 别人提供的content.一题问：Myspace社交平台火的原因：我选了有content的那个选项。有题问下面哪个选项作者没提及：我选了大家怀念web1.那个选项。 第3篇This reading comprehension focuses on social networks. It's followed by key vocabulary

北京大学考博英语历年试题分析

北京大学考博英语历年试题综合分析 导言：考博英语真题的重要性 全国各大院校在制定本校英语专业考试大纲时，对英语的考核基本上不指定参考书，考生在备考时往往感到漫无目的，无所适从，所以对各大院校的考博英语历年真 题分析则显得尤为重要。华慧考博英语教研中心在历时8年的教学研究的过程中，总 结国内50多所重点院校的考博英语试题的出题特点与规律，认为考生精研各院校的历年试题对考出良好的成绩有非常大的帮助。 考博英语试题的独特性 众所周知，英语类的考试，如高考、大学英语四六级、专业四八级考试、研究生 入学考试等均由统一的命题组人员统一命制试题，命题组阵容强大，且耗费的人力、物力也不在少数，其题目基本是原创题目。而考博英语却并非这样，因此，考博英 语有其自身的独特性，考博英语的独特性主要表现在其命题方式与题目来源两方面。 首先，从命题方式来看，博士考试中，要求考生达到英语的最低分数线，这一要 求就注定了各大考博院校的英语试题的命题方式，各大考博院校不会花费大量的人力、物力及时间原创一套考博英语试题。并且各大院校为了保证其试题的准确性，一般会 选择已经考过的各类相关难度的试题，这样就可以避免出现大量的因个人学术水平方 面而引起的错误和争议。 其次，从题目来源看，各大院校的考博英语试题基本来自专四、专八、六级、杂 志文章或其它考博院校的原题，极少出现原创题目。因其题目来源的独特性，我们研 究各大院校的考博英语试题就显得非常有必要且益处极大。如果考生在考前了解了这 一情况，且充分重视这个规律，那么获得考博英语高分不是什么难事。所以考生考前 精研考博英语真题是非常有必要的。

考博英语试题的作用 考博英语试题的作用主要有三个，即指导、规划与调控作用。 指导作用。通过研读历年的考博英语试题，考生可以了解该院校的题目类型、题目来源、 题目难度等，指导考生在较短的时间内找到正确的复习方法，获得自己满意的成绩。 规划作用。考生在宏观把握所报考院校的英语试题的出题规律后，结合自身的英语情况，对自己的英语备考做出一个正确且切合实际的复习规划。 调控作用。通过研读历年的考博英语试题，以所报考院校的英语真题为标杆，随时监控与调节自己的复习计划，使自己的复习计划在最短的时间内获得满意的成绩。 由此可知，研究真题对于考生在较短时间内提升成绩是有很大帮助的。因此，华慧考博英语研究中心对北京大学历年的考博真题进行了细致且深入的研究，将北京大学考博英语的出题特点、题目类型等进行了详细论述，对下一年度的考博英语命题趋势进行了预测，并提出了针对北京大学考博英语的备考方法，让考生的复习备考更加具有针对性，让考生少走弯路，快速提高考试成绩。 以下是华慧考博英语研究中心对北京大学考博英语历年试题详细分析。 一、北京大学考博英语试题的考核要求 北京大学博士研究生非英语专业入学考试是学校为招收博士研究生而设置的选拔性考试。教育部颁布的《硕士、博士研究生英语教学大纲》规定：“博士生入学其英语水平原则上应达到或略高于硕士生的水平”。根据这一规定，并结合历年招收博士研究生的具体情况，我校博士生入学英语考试既考查考生的语言知识，又注重测试考生的语言应用能力。
