同济大学考博英语模拟真题及其解析

Technically,any substance other than food that alters our bodily or mental functioning is a drug.Many people mistakenly believe the term drug refers only to some sort of medicine or an illegal chemical taken by drug addicts.They don't realize that familiar substances such as alcohol and tobacco are also drugs.This is why the more neutral term substance is now used by many physicians and Geng duo yuan xiao wan zheng kao bo ying yu zhen ti ji qi jie xi qing lian xi quan guo mian fei zi xun dian hua:si ling ling liu liu ba liu jiu qi ba,huo jia zi xun qq:qi qi er liu qi ba wu san qi psychologists. The phrase substance abuse is often used instead of drug abuse to make clear that substances such as alcohol and tobacco can be just as harmfully misused as heroin and cocaine.

We live in a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances(drugs)is pervasive:an aspirin to quiet a headache,some wine to be sociable,coffee to get going in the morning,a cigarette for the nerves.When do these socially acceptable and apparently constructive uses of a substance become misuses?First of all,most substances taken in excess will produce negative effects such as poisoning or intense perceptual distortions.Repeated use of a substance can also lead to physical addiction or substance dependence. Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance,with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect,and then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the substance is discontinued.

Drugs(substances)that affect the central nervous system and alter perception,mood,and behavior are known as psychoactive substances.Psychoactive substances are commonly grouped according to whether they are stimulants,depressants,or hallucinogens. Stimulants initially speed up or activate the central nervous system, whereas depressants slow it down.Hallucinogens have their primary effect on perception,distorting and altering it in a variety of ways including producing hallucinations.These are the substances often called psychedelic(from the Greek word meaning mind-manifestation) because they seemed to radically alter one‘s state of consciousness.

59.Substances abuse(line5,paragraph1)is preferable to drug abuse in that________.

(A)substances can alter our bodily or mental functioning if illegally used

(B)drug abuse is only related to a limited number of drugtakers

(C)alcohol and tobacco are as fatal as heroin and cocaine

(D)many substances other than heroin or cocaine can also be poisonous

60.The word pervasive(line1,paragraph2)might mean________.

(A)widespread(B)overwhelming(C)piercing(D) fashionable

61.Physical dependence on certain substances results from

________.

(A)uncontrolled consumption of them over long periods of time

(B)exclusive use of them for social purposes

(C)quantitative application of them to the treatment of diseases

(D)careless employment of them for unpleasant symptoms

62.From the last paragraph we can infer that________.

(A)stimulants function positively on the mind

(B)hallucinogens are in themselves harmful to health

(C)depressants are the worst type of psychoactive substances

(D)the three types of psychoactive substances are commonly used in groups

答案及试题解析

59.（D）意为：除海洛因或可卡因外，许多其他物质也是有害的。

第一段最后一句指出，许多医生（physician）和心理学家常使用物质滥用而不是药物滥用这一概念，他们想以此说明：滥用像烟酒这样的物质与滥用海洛因和可卡因一样有害。

A意为：如果非法使用，物质可能改变我们身体或大脑的功能。第一段第一句对药物这一概念下了一个定义：从专业角度来讲，除食品以外，任何改变我们的身体或大脑功能的物质都是药物。但是，正如第二句所指出的，许多人错误地认为药物这一概念仅指某种医药或嗜毒者用的非法化学药品。

B意为：药物滥用仅限指一少部分人的吸毒行为。

C意为：烟酒同海洛因和可卡因一样致命。这里，fatal（致命的）一词太夸张了，与原文中所说的有害（harmfully）相去甚远。

60.（A）该词意为：普通的，广泛的。

事实上，由第二段第一句的冒号后部分所表达的内容，我们可以推断出该词的意思。该句可译为：在我们生活的社会里，医用或社交用物质（药物）

广泛存在，如：用阿斯匹林制止头痛，用酒交际，早晨用咖啡振作一下精神，抽支烟定定神（或：松弛一下）。

B意为：压倒一切的，占主流的。

C意为：尖锐的，尖的。

D意为：时髦的，流行的。

61.（A）意为：长时间无节制地嗜用它们。

根据第二段第四、五句，频繁使用（repeated use）某种物质（药物）会使身体对之上瘾或形成依赖。依赖起先表现为耐药量（tolerance）的增加：要达到满足，需要的剂量越来越多；停止服用后，一些不舒服的反应就会出现。可见，用药量和用药时间是造成药物依赖的两个重要因素。

B意为：仅将它们用于社交目的。文章第二段第一句确实提到了像酒这样的物质可以用于社交目的，但这不等于说只有用于社交目的的物质才可以使人上瘾。

C意为：将它们大量地用来治病。量大仅是可能产生药物依赖的原因之一，而频繁使用也是形成药物依赖的重要条件。

D意为：粗心使用它们而产生不良症状。

62.（B）意为：幻觉剂本身就危害健康。

根据第三段第四、五句，幻觉剂主要影响人的感知觉，以各种方式（包括产生幻觉）将它扭曲、改变。它们被称作引起幻觉的药物，因为它们似乎从根本上改变了人的意识状态。

A意为：兴奋剂对心智有积极影响。第三段前三句指出，影响中枢神经系统、改变感知觉和行为的药物属于对神经起显著作用的（psychoactive）物质，它们通常分为兴奋剂、抑制剂或幻觉剂。兴奋剂具有开始加快或激活中枢神经的作用，而抑制剂则具有减缓作用。但是，无论是哪种作用，其影

响都是有害的。参阅第一段最后一句。

C意为：抑制剂是对神经起显著作用的物质中最坏的一种。第三段提到了三钟影响人的意识与行为的物质（见上文），但并未指出哪种效果最坏。

D意为：三种对神经起显著作用的物质经常被一起使用。这一点第三段也未提到。

翻译句子

1.We live in a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances(drugs)is pervasive:an aspirin to quiet a headache,some wine to be sociable,coffee to get going in the morning,a cigarette for the nerves.

[参考译文]我们生活在一种药品（毒品）的医学用途和社会用途都很广泛的社会里：一片用来止头疼的阿司匹林，一些用来社交的酒，早上自己提提神所喝的咖啡，一支用来定神的香烟。

[结构剖析]句子的主干就是We live in a society…，后面which引导定语从句in which the medicinal and social use of substances(drugs) is pervasive，修饰society。冒号后面的部分是并列关系的名词词组，用来举例说明前面提出的观点，开始时可以略去不看。

[阅读重点]注意冒号后面列举的前三个名词词组中的动词不定式都相当于定语成分，修饰前面的中心名词，表示其功效。

2.Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance,with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect,and then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the substance is discontinued.

[参考译文]对药品的依赖性首先表现为不断增长的耐药量，要产生想

得到的效果所需要的药品剂量越来越大，然后表现为当停药后，令人不快的停药症状的出现。

[结构剖析]句子的主干结构是Dependence is marked first by…and then by…；逗号隔开的成分with+n.+过去分词：with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect作状语，用来进一步解释药物依赖的第一种表现。when the substance is discontinued是表示时间的状语从句。

[阅读重点]注意and连接两个by开始的介词词组是并列关系，这样就能抓住句子的主干了。另外注意名词在这里的特殊意义：dependence指对药物的依赖，withdrawal的意思是停止用药。

补充难句翻译

1.The phrase substance abuse is often used instead of drug abuse to make clear that substances such as alcohol and tobacco can be just as harmfully misused as heroin and cocaine.

[参考译文]药品滥用这个词经常被用来代替毒品滥用，其目的是为了表明酒精和烟草这样的物质是可能像海洛因和可卡因那样被误用的。

[结构剖析]句子的主干是句子的前半部分The phrase substance abuse is often used…to make clear…；to make clear that…是动词不定式作状语，表示目的。that后面接的是宾语从句作动词make clear的宾语。

[阅读重点]注意make+sth.+adj.：make sth.clear，这里因为sth.是一个that引导的从句，所以放在了形容词clear的后面。另外注意as…as的用法。

2、Psychoactive substances are commonly grouped according to

whether they are stimulants,depressants,or hallucinogens.

[参考译文]精神刺激性药品通常按照他们是否是兴奋剂，镇静剂或致幻剂来划分。

[结构剖析]这是一个简单句。句子的主干部分是Psychoactive substances are…grouped according to…，使用了被动语态。其中whether 引导宾语从句whether they are stimulants,depressants,or hallucinogens作介词according to的宾语。

[阅读重点]group这里用作动词，是分类的意思。

全文翻译

从专业角度说，除食品外，任何能改变我们生理和心理机能的物质都是药物。很多人错误地认为药物这个词仅仅指某些药品或是吸毒者服用的违禁化学品。他们没有意识到诸如酒精、烟草这些我们熟悉的物质也是药物。这

也是现在许多内科医生和心理学家使用物质这个更加中性的词的原因。他们常用物质滥用而不用药物滥用来清楚表明滥用酒精、烟草这样的物质如同滥用海洛因和可卡因一样有害。

我们生活在一个物质（药物）在医疗和社交方面的使用都很广泛的社会里：用来缓解头痛的阿斯匹林，用来应酬的酒，早晨用来提神的咖啡，还有定神用的香烟。使用这些物质得到了社会认可，且显然具有积极的作用，但什么时候就变成滥用了呢？首先，大多数物质的过量使用都会产生负面影响，如中毒或严重的感知错乱。反复使用一种物质可以导致成瘾或对该物质的依赖。依赖的最初表现是不断增长的耐药量，要产生预期的效果需要的药剂量越来越大，而一旦中断使用就会出现难受的停药症状。

影响中枢神经系统、改变感知觉和行为的药物（物质）属于对神经起显著作用的物质，它们通常分为兴奋剂、镇静剂和幻觉剂。兴奋剂主要起到加速或激活中枢神经系统的作用，而镇静剂则相反：减缓它的活动。幻觉剂主要影响人的感知，通过多种方式对感知加以扭曲或改变，其中包括产生幻觉。这些物质常被认为能引起幻觉（psychedelic一词源于希腊语，意为心灵显现），因为它们似乎能改变人的意识状态。

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. C. enumerating differences between two widely used methods D. describing events leading to a discovery 2. According to passage, the widely held view of Archean-age gold-quartz vein

Scientists came from all over the world to study it and watch it grow. It is not often that people get a chance to watch a volcano from the very beginning. Most of the volcanoes have been here for a very long time. Some have been here so long that now they are cold. They are called dead volcanoes. They have stopped throwing out fire and melted rock and smoke. It is safe to walk on them. Farms are plowed on the quiet slopes, and people have built houses there. Some volcanoes have stopped throwing out hot rock, but they still smoke a little now and then. They are "sleeping" volcanoes. Sometime they may "wake up". 2 Today volcanoes are not so dangerous for people as they were a long time ago.

2014考博英语真题分析

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/4a5875659.html,中国考博辅导首选学校 2014考博英语真题分析 大家都知道，考博考到最后是在考英语，考英语考到最后是在考阅读， 得阅读者得天下，由此可看出考博阅读在考博中占据的重要性。 历年考纲都明确规定了阅读理解A部分主要考查考生的八个方面，要 求考生掌握这几方面的要求，同时在试题的考查中体现出了考纲对阅读理 解A的考查，细节题体现出了考博考纲中要求掌握细节的一点，主旨题也体 现出了考纲中需要掌握文章大概框架的要求等等，前些年细节题占据了考题 的很大一部分，这些年考查细节方面题的数量稍有减少，相应的其他类型题 的数量稍有增加。 （PS:The way to contact yumingkaobo TEL:si ling ling-liu liu ba-liu jiu qi ba QQ:772678537)这几年阅读理解文章难度，整体上趋于平稳。今年的阅读题题型和11 年有相似之处，话题都是大家比较熟悉的话题，这样就不会出现10年时候出 现的文章大意都看不懂的现象，但是这样也会出现另外一个现象，大家熟悉 的话题就很容易加入自己的主观想法，就如05年第三篇讲梦的文章，大家都 知道日有所思，夜有所梦，很多考生在做第一题的时候很容易选择C答案： 梦反映出我们内心最深处的欲望与恐惧，另一方面，从06年到现在，答案的 干扰性越来越强，以前的答案设置中有两个是错误答案，很多时候剩下的一 个选项的无关干扰答案，与主题是没有关系的，这一个通常可以根据主题来 排除掉，而近几年的阅读题答案的干扰就是以文章里面出现的信息作为干扰 项，今年的考题也印证了这印证了这样一个趋势，不像10年的题，话题都 是专业的，很多学生文章都没看明白，但是从11年开始，很多考生似乎文章 都看懂了，但是答案就是做不对，有时文章不是很难，但是题目会出的稍微 拐的弯多一些。有些答案设计过程中确实是有些难度的。近几年考博阅读的 难度系数比较稳定，一般是在5道左右。06到12年阅读题都是5道左右。 本文由“育明考博”整理编辑
