Part III Reading Comprehension (40 points)

Directions: In this part there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers. Choose the one you think is the best answer. Then on your Answer Sheet, find the corresponding letter and mark your choice on the Answer Sheet by drawing with a pencil a single line through the center in the brackets.

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:

Living in a war culture, with a $350 billion annual military budget, Americans may lose a sense of what a peace culture may look like. Peace, sometimes defined as absence of war, is more accurately understood as a dynamic process involving all individual and communal relationships. Peacemaking requires at least as much courage, imagination, patience and strategic planning as warmaking, with infinitely more positive results. Its goal is nonviolent relations, not only between nations, but also between states and their citizens and between human beings and their environments.

Achieving that goal requires day-to-day peace building in our families, schools, media, sports and other associations. The UN resolutions for establishing a Culture of Peace, endorsed by the General Assembly in 1999, offers an instruction manual. The Culture of Peace program through the United Nations was initially published in 1995, then revised and approved by 169 nations four years later. The UN declaration received the enthusiastic support of millions of people who signed its manifesto. An interactive Web site has involved more than 75 million individuals and thousands of local, national and international organizations in this global movement for building societies based on peace.

The formulations of the culture of peace is deliberately broad, in order to include all the ends and means appropriate to the full range of nongovernmental organizations working for peace and justice. The UN resolutions for a Culture of

Peace has six principal components. Each one articulates strategies and goals, already demonstrated, in specific instances of “people power” form recent history.

Power builds upon the experience of active nonviolence as a means of social change and its proven success during the 20th century. People are mobilized not in order to defeat an enemy but in order to build understanding, tolerance and solidarity. Democratic process engages people in decision-making at all levels and empowers them by the victories they achieve. The secrecy and control of information by those in power is replaced by participatory democracy, through the sharing of information among everyone involved. The male-dominated culture of war and violence is transformed into a culture acknowledging and building upon special skills that women bring to the peace building process, with women at the center of institutions emerging from it. Slavery, colonialism, economic exploitation are replaced by cooperation and sustainable development for all.

51. From paragraph 1 we can learn that _____.

Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:

Money–laundering has been one of the world’s fastest-growing industries over the past decade despite increasing efforts by the world’s financial authorities to stamp it out. Following is a simple guide to the world of money-laundering.

Money-laundering is the process by which money obtained by illegal means is given the appearance of legitimate income and returned into circulation. The word and the practice are widely believed to have been invented by the US Mafia. As a means of mixing the dirty cash obtained from prostitution, gambling, gun-running, blackmail and its other wicked activities, so that both came out more or less clean, the Mafia bought up and operated large numbers of Laundromats. As good cash businesses they were a good means of providing the appearance of honest cash flow.

Various techniques can be employed as the means of money-laundering, but they essentially boil down to three stages. Step one: moving the money form the scene of the crime A to a remote location B, ideally in another country, preferably a bank account, if possible one that is anonymous. Step two: disguising the trail leading from A to B. Step three: making the cash available to the criminals, along with a plausible explanation of how it came legally into their possession.

Apart from harming the economies that it feeds off, the money-laundering industry is essential to organized crime. As the head of the UN’s crime-fighting wing Pino Arlacchi remarked, organized crime “brutalizes society and diminishes respect for the values like honesty and cooperation upon which successful societies are based”. Or as a senior US official said in 1999, “money-laundering may look like a polite form of white-collar crime, but it is the companion of brutality, deceit and corruption.”

The liberalization of markets around the world and deregulation of exchange controls are regarded as the chief causes of the rapid expansion of money-laundering over the past decade. Together they have opened up money more channels for laundering dirty money and provided more opportunities to hide its origins. UN officials believe the most important single measure in eliminating money-laundering is the ending of bank secrecy.

56. We know from the passage that money-laundering ______.

[A] has almost been stamped out by the world’s financial authorities

[B] has greatly promoted the development of the world’s industries

[C] only has a ten-year history but has grown rapidly

[D] has expanded rapidly over the past decade

57. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the phrase “stamp it out” in the first paragraph?

[A] To put an end to it completely.

[B] To mark a sign by pressing on it.

[C] To announce it illegal.

[D] To do harm to it.

58. The reason why the Mafia bought up and ran substantial Laundromats is that ____.

[A] the Mafia can carry out large numbers of illegal transactions in them

[B] the Mafia has many wicked activities like prostitution and gambling in them

[C] the Laundromats can give the dirty cash the appearance of legitimate income

[D] the Laundromats is such a profit-making industry that has attracted the Mafia

59. In money-laundering, money would be moved from the scene of the crime to _____.

[A] the financial authorities

[B] the circulation fields

[C] Laundromats operated by the Mafia

[D] anonymous bank account in another country

60. With the worldwide liberalization of markets, money-laundering has expanded rapidly by ______.

[A] deregulating the exchange controls

[B] buying and operating more Laundromats

[C] having more channels to launder dirty money

[D] tightening the bank secrecy rules

Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage:

Violence in American families takes many forms. One prevalent from that we often overlook is the physical punishment of children. Perhaps 93% of all parents beat their children in order to discipline them. Young children receive the most punishment, but studies reveal that about 50% of his school seniors report experiencing or being threatened with physical punishment. Punishment of children varies from a light tap to a brutal beating, but historically we have granted parents the right to use physical force against their children. A law passed in 1696, for example, called for the beat penalty for a child of “sufficient understanding” over the age of sixteen who cursed or struck a parent or who was “stubborn and rebellious” in refusing to obey a parent. From interviews with 2,143 married couples constituting a cross-section of American families, sociologists estimate that parents kick, punch, or bite some 1.7million children a year, beat 460,0000 to 650,000 more, and attack 46,000 with guns or knives.

Physical punishment of children that results in injuries requiring medical treatment is now generally considered to be abusive. Most people do not realize, however, that it is the regular use of “ordinary” physical punishment, and the cultural approval it enjoys, that lays the groundwork for child abuse. According to David Gil, “In most accidents of child abuse the care takers involved are “normal”individuals exercising their rights of disciplining a child whose behavior they find in need of correction. “If one adult were to strike another, most people would regard such behavior as abusive.

Most parents use physical punishment in the belief that it will control the aggression in their children and make them obedient. In fact, violence – whether verbal or physical – sets children a poor example. An adult who yells at or slaps a child unwittingly supplies the child with a model for aggression. Studies have found that the frequent use of physical punishment for aggressive acts by a child results in a marked increase in the child’s aggression. Perhaps not surprisingly, abusive parents are themselves likely to have been abused when they were children. The pattern of abuse is unwittingly translated from parent to child and thus from generation to generation.

61. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

[A] Punishment of children was once justified in American law.

[B] Most of the parents have used physical punishment to discipline disobedient children in America.

[C] High school students rarely receive punishment from their parents.

[D] Child abuse is rooted in American culture.

62. Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage as a means of physical punishment?

[A] Punching.

[B] Biting.

[C] Threatening.

[D] Beating.

63. The word “it” (Line 3, Para 2) refer to _______.

[A] physical punishment

[B] the cultural approval

[C] the regular use of “ordinary” physical punishment

[D] injuries requiring medical treatment

64. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?

[A] Physical punishment is helpful for parents to correct children’s indecent behavior.

[B] Parents who use physical punishment to discipline their children should be punished by law.

[C] A child who is severely punished will revenge the abuse on his own child in later life.

[D] Parents who punish children physically actually set bad examples of aggression for their children.

65. What is the author’s attitude towards physical punishment by parents?

[A] Disagreeing.

[B] Understanding.

[C] Supporting.

[D] Severely critical.

Questions 66 to 70 are based on the following passage:

Justice in society must include both a fair trial to the accused and the selection of an appropriate punishment for those proven guilty. Because justice is regarded as one form of equality, we find in its earlier expression the idea of a punishment equal to the crime. Recorded in the Old Testament is the expression “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth”. That is, the individual who has done wrong has committed an offense against society. To atone for offense, society must get even. This can be done only by forcing an equal injury upon him. This conception of retributive justice is reflected in many parts of the legal codes procedures of modern times. It is illustrated when we demand the death penalty for a person who has committed murder. This philosophy of punishment was supported by the German idealist Hegel. He believed that society owed it to the criminal to

administer a punishment equal to the crime he had committed. The criminal had by his own actions denied his true self and it is necessary to do something that will counteract this denial and restore the self that has been denied. To the murderer nothing less than giving up his own life will pay the debt.

Modern jurists have tried to replace retributive with the notion of corrective justice. The aim of the latter is not to abandon the concept of equality but to find a more adequate way to express it. It tries to preserve the idea of equal opportunity for each individual to realize the best that is in him. The criminal is regarded as being socially ill and in need of treatment which will enable him to become a normal member of society. Only those criminals who are incurable should be permanently separated from the rest of the society. This does not mean that criminals will escape punishment or be quickly returned to take up careers of crime. It means that justice is to heal the individual, not simply to get even with him. If severe punishment is the only adequate means for accomplishing this, it should be administered. However, the individual should be given every opportunity to assume a normal place in society. His conviction of crime must not deprive him of the opportunity to make his way in the society of which he is a part.

66. The best title for this selection is _____.

[A] Fitting Punishment to the Crime

[B] Improvement in Legal Justice

[C] Approaches to Just Punishment

[D] Attaining Justice in the Courts

67. Hegel would view the death sentence for murder as _______.

[A] inadequate justice

[B] an admission of not being able to cure a disease

[C] the most efficient method of removing a known danger

[D] a birthright of the murderer that cannot be take away

68. The passage implies that the basic difference between retributive justice and corrective justice is the ______.

[A] type of crime that was proven

[B] severity of the punishment

[C] reason for the sentence

[D] outcome of the trial

69. The punishment that would be most inconsistent with the views of corrective justice would be ______.

[A] beating

[B] solitary confinement

[C] life imprisonment

[D] the electric chair

70. The expression “an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth” was presented in order to ________.

[A] prove that equality demands just punishment

[B] justify the need for punishment as a part of law

[C] give moral backing to retributive justice

[D] show that man has long been interested in justice

试卷二T E S T P A P E R T W O Part IV Translation (20 points)

Section A

Directions:Put the following passage into Chinese. Write your translation on the Answer Sheet. Remember to write it clearly. (10 points) In Western Europe, the EU countries are now moving towards product liability laws which will be harsher on business than ever before. This is partly because of the recent tragic events in which hundreds of infants were born with deformities because their mother, while pregnant, had taken a drug called thalidomide (萨立多胺).

The EU proposals are based on the legal concept of “strict liability”, and, in this respect, they are modeled on the tough US product liability laws. The term “strict liability” means that if a product causes injury because of a defect in manufacturing, a company is liable.

A very controversial section of the proposals says that a manufacturer is liable even for those defects that could not have been foreseen “in light of the scientific and technological developments at the time the item was put into circulation”. A ten-year limit is proposed on a company’s liability, probably to soften the severity of this provision.

江南大学考博英语历年考题汇总附答案

Reading Comprehension (35 minutes) Directions:There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Passage One Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: When Kathie Gifford ’s face was splashed across the newspapers in 1996 after her lucrative line of Wal mart clothing was exposed as the work of underpaid laborers in New York City ’s Chinatown, the Department of Labor and the White House teamed up to condemn such practices. With much fanfare, President Clinton’s administration launched the “No Sweat” campaign, which pressured retailers and manufacturers to submit to periodic independent inspection of their workplace conditions.; This campaign urged manufacturers to sign the Workplace Code of Conduct, a promise to self regulate that has since been adopted by a handful of retailers and many of the nation ’s largest manufacturers, including Nike and L.L. Bean. However, the Department of Defense, which has a $ 1 billion garment business that would make it the country’s 14th largest retail apparel outlet, has not signed the Code of Conduct. In addition, it has not agreed to demand that its contractors submit to periodic inspections.; Because the Department of Defense has not agreed to adhere to the code, the job of stopping public sector sweatshops falls to the Department of Labor. Federal contractors that persist in violating wage laws or safety and health codes can lose their lucrative taxpayer financed contracts. But Suzanne Seiden, a deputy administrator at the Department of Labor, says that to her knowledge, the department has never applied that rule to government apparel manufacturers. “I just assume that they are adhering to safety and health requirements,” she says. According to records obtained by Mother Jones, through a Freedom of Information Act request, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration has cited Lion 32 times for safety and health violations in the past 12 years. 21.What is this passgage mainly concerned with?

Passage Two Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: The term investment portfolio conjures up visions of the truly rich-the Rockefellers, the Wal Mart Waltons, Bill Gates. But today, everyone-from the Philadelphia firefighter, his part time receptionist wife and their three children, to the single Los Angeles lawyer starting out on his own-needs a portfolio.; A portfolio is simply a collection of financial assets. It may include real estate, rare stamps and coins, precious metals and even artworks. But those are for people with expertise. What most of us need to know about are stocks, bonds and cash (including such cash equivalents as money market funds).; How do you decide what part of your portfolio should go to each of the big three? Begin by understanding that stocks pay higher returns but are more risky; bonds and cash pay lower returns but are less risky.; Research by Ibbotson Associates, for example, shows that large company stocks, on average, have returned 11.2 percent annually since 1926. Over the same period, by comparison, bonds have returned an annual average of 5.3 percent and cash, 3.8 percent.; But short term risk is another matter. In 1974, a one year $1000 investment in the stock market would have declined to $735.; With bonds, there are two kinds of risk: that the borrower won’t pay you back and that the money you’ll get won’t be worth very much. The U.S. government stands behi nd treasury bonds, so the credit risk is almost nil. But the inflation risk remains. Say you buy a $1000 bond maturing in ten years. If inflation averages about seven percent over that time, then the $1000 you receive at maturity can only buy $500 worth of today’s goods.; With cash, the inflation risk is lower, since over a long period you can keep rolling over your CDs every year (or more often). If inflation rises, interest rates rise to compensate.; As a result, the single most imortant rule in building a portfolio is this: If you don’t need

中国矿业大学考博英语真题2015年

中国矿业大学考博英语真题2015年 Part ⅠReading Comprehension Directions: There are 5 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions or statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet. Passage One The purpose of the American court system is to protect the rights of the people. According to American law, if someone is accused of a crime, he or she is considered innocent until the court proves that the person is guilty. In other words, it is the responsibility of the court to prove that a person is guilty. It is not the responsibility of the person to prove that he or she is innocent. In order to arrest a person, the police have to be reasonably sure that a crime has been committed. The police must give the suspect the reasons why they are arresting him and tell him his rights under the law. Then the police take the suspect to the police station to "book" him. "Booking" means that the name of the person and the charges against him are formally listed at the police station. The next step is for the suspect to go before a judge. The judge decides whether the suspect should be kept in jail or released. If the suspect has no previous criminal record and the judge feels that he will return to court rather than run away—for example, because he owns a house and has a family—he can go free. Otherwise, the suspect must put up bail. At this time, too, the judge will appoint a court layer to defend the suspect if he can't afford one. The suspect returns to court a week or two later. A lawyer from the district attorney's office presents a case against the suspect. This is called a hearing. The attorney may present evidence as well as witnesses. The judge at the hearing then decides whether there is enough reason to hold a trial. If the judge decides that there is sufficient evidence to call for a trial, he or she sets a date for the suspect to appear in court to formally plead guilty or not guilty. At the trial, a jury of 12 people listens to the evidence from both attorneys and hears the testimony of the witnesses. Then the jury goes into a private room to consider the evidence and decide whether the defendant is guilty of the crime. If the jury decides that the defendant is innocent, he goes free. However, if he is convicted, the judge sets a date for the defendant to appear in court again for sentencing. At this time, the judge tells the convicted person what his punishment will be. The judge

2013年上海交大考博英语试题及部分答案

上海交大2013年考博英语试题及答案 第一篇 There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae (幼虫). In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought (干旱) in the form of inactive eggs. These are the shrimps (小虾) that live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the south-west of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50C are often recorded. The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain falls to form a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch (孵化). Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms which also grow in the temporary desert lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimetre to a length of about 1.5 centimetres. Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates. Therefore, for the shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, however, when they are about 3 centimetre long, hundreds of tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy patch of wet soil. On the thirteenth day and the next, during the final hours of their brief lives, the shrimps lay their eggs in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates. If sufficient rain falls the next year to form another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the shrimps pass rapidly through their cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is insufficient rain to form a lake: in this case, the eggs will remain dormant for another years, or even longer if necessary. Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus, on such occasions, the species multiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival. 1.Which of the following is the MOST distinctive feature of Mojave shrimps? A) Their lives are brief. B) They feed on plant and animal organisms.

中国矿业大学考博英语阅读理解真题解析与指导

中国矿业大学考博英语阅读理解真题解析与指导 Is it true that the American intellectual is rejected and considered of no account in his society?I am going to suggest that it is not true.Father Bruckbergen told part of the story when he observed that it is the intellectuals who have rejected American.But they have done more than that.They have grown dissatisfied with the role of intellectual.It is they,not American,who have become anti-intellectual. First,the object of our study pleads for definition.What is an intellectual?(46)I shall define him as an individual who has elected as his primary duty and pleasure in life the activity of thinking in Socratic(苏格拉底)way about moral problems.He explores such problem consciously,articulately,and frankly,first by asking factual questions,then by asking moral questions,finally by suggesting action which seems appropriate in the light of the factual and moral information which he has obtained.(47)His function is analogous to that of a judge,who must accept the obligation of revealing in as obvious a matter as possible the course of reasoning which led him to his decision. （PS:The way to contact yumingkaobo TEL:si ling ling-liu liu ba-liu jiu qi ba QQ:772678537) This definition excludes many individuals usually referred to as intellectuals----the average scientist for one.48)I have excluded him because,while his accomplishments may contribute to the solution of moral problems,he has not been charged with the task of approaching any but the factual aspects of those problems.Like other human beings,

1. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. 你是否同意或不同意以下声明？家长是最好的老师。使用具体原因和例子来支持你的答案。 Obviously, the earliest teachers we have in our lives in most cases are our parents, and they are generally the most involved in the development and education of their children. Yet neither are all parents good teachers nor are those good parents the best teachers. 显然，我们最早的老师，在大多数情况下，我们的生活是我们的父母，他们是最普遍的发展和子女教育工作。然而，也不是所有家长好老师，也不是那些好父母最好的老师。 First of all, not all parents are good teachers. As normal individuals, some parents more or less have bad habits. Even though parents almost instinctively devote themselves to cultivating their offspring, the outcome might turn out to be disappointment, for all children tend to unconsciously or subconsciously copy every thing from their parents. Another deficiency of parents as teachers is the fact that most parents are lack of common senses of education. All too often we observe some parents tend to pursue their cherished but failed dream by forcing their children to develop in a prearranged direction. Ironically, if their children did not follow the instructions, the children would be regarded as disobedient or allegedly rebellious. In fact, it is parents rather than their children that virtually disobey common senses. 首先，并非所有家长都好老师。作为正常人，一些家长或多或少有坏习惯。尽管父母几乎本能地致力于培养他们的后代，其结果可能会变成失望而归，往往所有儿童都能自觉或不自觉从他们的父母复制每一件事。另一个家长缺乏的是，大部分家长对教育的共同感觉，缺乏教师。我们常常看到一些父母往往追求，迫使其子女在预先安排的发展方向，他们所珍惜的，但未能梦想。具有讽刺意味的，如果子女没有遵循指示，孩子就被视为不听话或据称反叛。事实上，这是家长，而不是他们的孩子， Moreover, some parents are qualified as good teachers, but not all of them are the best ones. When children are in the preliminary school, it is not surprising that parents are capable of teaching their children almost every subject even better than professional teachers in the school. But the situation will not last long. We live in a world where knowledge is accumulated by multiplying and at the same time becomes more and more specialized. Therefore, to be a professional in a certain field today takes much longer time than ever before. No parent is able to be professional in all fields, though they might be experts in one or more fields. Wise parents often release rather than charge their children as early as possible. They are aware of the possibility outside the family. 此外，一些家长有资格好老师，但不是所有这些都是最好的。当他们在初步学校的，这并不奇怪，父母是孩子的教学，几乎每一个问题甚至比在学校专业教师做得更好。但情况不会持续太久。我们在那里知识的增多，同时积累了生活的世界变得越来越专业化。因此，是在某一领域的专业今日需时较长的时间比以往任何时候。家长们能在所有领域的专业，虽然他们可能在一个或多个领域的专家。明智的家长往往释放，而不是他们的孩子负责尽早。他们都明白了家庭以外的可能性。 Parents may, nevertheless, help their children much more than do good teachers. Most parts of children education are virtually beyond teachers' reaches. It is parents that supplement. Psychology studies have shown us that parents' love sometimes has astonishingly magic power to their children. Albert Einstein's mother and Forest Gump's mother are both good examples. On the other hand, parents might do their children harm more than do bad teachers as well. The natures of those children whose parents have divorced are often severely distorted. In a word, it is rather superficial to simply say that parents are the best teachers. 家长仍可以帮助他们的孩子更比好老师。大部分地区的儿童教育几乎超出教师达到。这是家长的补充。心理学研究告诉我们，父母的爱，有时有惊人的神奇力量给子女。爱因斯坦的母亲和阿甘正传的母亲都是很好的例子。另一方面，家长可以做他们的孩子受到伤害比也差的教师。那些其父母已离婚儿童的性质往往严重扭曲。总之，这是十分肤浅的简单地说，家长是最好的老师。 [404 words] 2. It has been said, "Not everything that is learned is contained in books." Compare and contrast knowledge gained from experience with knowledge gained from books. In your opinion, which source is more important? Why? 有人说，“并不是所有的教训是在书本中。”比较和对比中取得的经验与知识，从书本上获得的经验。在您看来，这是更重要的来源？为什么？ Both experiences and books are very essential resources, and both of them have relevant merits. 双方的经验和书籍是非常重要的资源，他们都有相关的优点。
