Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension

Directions:Each of the passages below is followed by some questions.For each question there are four answers marked A,B,C and D.Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.Then mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.(40 points)

Passage 1

Who was to blame for starting the Cold War?For nearly a generation after World War II,American historians generally agreed that the suspicious and grasping Soviets were almost solely responsible.This“Orthodox”(正统的)appraisal fitted comfortably with the traditional view of the United States as a God-blessed land with an idealistic foreign policy.But in the 1960s another interpretation began to flower,powerfully reinforced by an objection against what Americans were doing in Vietnam.People who held this view attempted to reverse the orthodox view.They argued that the Soviets had understandably defensive intentions at the end of World War II and that the United States had behaved aggressively and irresponsibly.Some of these critics pointed an accusing finger at Truman.They declared that he had abandoned Roosevelt's conciliatory(调和的)approach and adopted a bulling attitude,emboldened by American's atomic monopoly.The more radical of those people like the Kolkos found the roots of American aggression before Truman's time in long standing policies of economic expansion.

In the 1970s a“neoorthodox”interpretation emerged.Historians of this school,like John L.Gaddis,still place most of the blame for the Cold War on the Soviet Union,but they admit that American policies helped worsen the conflict.They also note how the constraints of domestic politics and the miscalculations of American leaders led a nation in search of international security into dangerous Cold War.

This historical debate over the origins of the Cold War has compelled the recognition that the United States did have vital interests at stake in postwar diplomacy,and that policymakers pursued those interests with eagerness.But is self-interest necessarily immoral?Is security a one-way street? Can the blame ever be exclusively with one side in a complex international dispute?

51.People of the“orthodox”view placed blame for starting the Cold War on the Soviet Union

because _____ .

A.they didn't want America to take sole responsibility

B.they supported America in its foreign policy in Vietnam

C.they believed that America was always right in its foreign policy

D.they could find peace of mind in such a belief

52.By saying that“people who held this view attempted to reverse the orthodox view”(the

fifth sentence in paragraph 1),the author means that those people _____ .

A.didn't qui te agree to the “orthodox”view

B.held an opposite view to the“orthodox”one

C.considered the“orthodox”view unworthy of notice

D.were faithful supporters of the Soviet foreign policies

53.The“neoorthodox”view held that _____ should take responsibility for the C old War.

A.the Soviet Union

B.the United States

C.neither of those two countries

D.both of those two countries

54.In the last paragraph,the author seems to imply that _____ .

A.the Soviet Union should take sole responsibility

B.the United States should take sole responsibility

C.the Cold War wasn't started on one side only

D.neither side started the Cold War

Passage 2

Does the evidence that the left and right sides of the brain differ somewhat in function have implications for personality differences?There is research indicating that the right hemisphere is linked to negative emotions,to spatial or imagery processing,and to thinking of pure melodies,while the left hemisphere is linked to verbal and mathematical thought and positive emotions.Is it possible that each half of the brain reflects two basic but different dimensions of human capacity?Are some personality differences that involve consistent styles of information processing of reflective thought correlated with a greater activation of the left and right hemispheres?

Adults who differ in their initial encoding styles also demonstrate brain wave patterns or eye movement differences that suggest they “favor”one or another hemisphere of the brain during reflective thought.An approach to studying such differences has emerged by examining the direction in which people shift their eyes when trying to reflect on a question or to recall information.Anatomically(从解剖学上来说)the neural pathway from the left eye goes to the right hemisphere of the brain and from the right eye to the left hemisphere.Since our eyes normally shift together,it has been shown that the stimulation of the right brain hemisphere leads to a shift of the eyes to the left and,correspondingly,left hemisphere stimulation shifts the eyes to the right.

Studies of persons who show consistent left or right eye shifts when engaged in reflective thought do offer some support for the views.Right shifters(that is,those whose left brain are

most active)are more analytic in perceptual performance and score higher on measures of verbal concept formation,mathematics scores,and measures of mathematical,scientific,or theoretical interests.Left shifters are more imagery oriented,more inclined to daydream,more creative and aesthetically oriented.Left and right shifters even differ in where they prefer to sit in college lecture halls,with left shifters sitting on the right side and right shifters to the left of the center.

55.The idea that the left and right sides of the brain differ somewhat in function _____ .

A.is proved to be unfounded

B.has consistent evidence to support itself

C.is proved to be true in some cases

D.lacks biological evidence

56.Mathematical problem solving activity corresponds to an increase in the activation

_____ .

A.in the left side of the brain

B.in the right side of the brain

C.in both sides of the brain

D.first in the left and then in the right side

57.According to the findings,a student who often sits on the left side of a lecture hall

_____ .

A.belongs to the analytical thinking type

B.often daydreams in the classroom

C.is not capable of creative thinking

D.is relatively more imaginative

58.It is proved that _____ .

A.different styles of information processing has no effect on people's personality

B.differences in personality have something to do with people's problem solving styles C.left shifters are usually the worst students in a class

D.right shifters are often the trouble makers in a society

Passage 3

John Harold Drake is a man of deep compassion, and has written a book that argues for the cause of children in need of love.“Children, Little Children”is an honest book, showing great concern and dissatisfaction with the care for children.

The difficult trick of living inside another person's mind and being able to put your reader inside that same mind, is a capability held only by writers of exceptional skill and talent. Mr. Drake has approached the problem by making a 10 year old boy his central character. The boy does not for a moment come across as a real child. Irresponsible parents abandoned him, his grandfather disliked him, he took everything literally, and begged everyone for love. Bret is being used to make a point. His ideas are too poetic, his response too direct, and the contrasts of good and evil too simplistic for real life. He is being manipulated by someone behind the scenery

trying to tell us something.

For fifteen years the authors has been dealing with people with psychological trouble at the V.I.T. Neuropsychiatric Institute. He has actively been involved in this field at other institutions for a quarter of a century. This book is a form of acting out, through the character, Bret, the pain of a rejected child. If one understands the book in those terms, one may be willing to believe the imaginary story. If viewed in this light, the exaggerated movements and reactions of the characters became less unbelievable and therefore more meaningful. The excessively poetic passages of description and emotion, seen as stage flats made more colorful than nature in order to look real from afar, are acceptable in a drama wherea they are irritating in a novel. The one sided characterizations insane father, immature mother, mean old grandmother, selfish aunt, cruel neighbours, and totally misunderstood Bret are figures moving across a lit stage to dramatize a message. The true to life ending, without resolution or growth or development, might work on a stage, however, it is contrary to everything a novel should do.

Calling the book a novel is the publisher's mistake, the work is more nearly a drama. Perhaps it is one of Mr Drake's psychodramas in print and should so be judged.

59.The author of the passage feels that _____ .

A.Mr. Drke's character, Bret, is too unrealistic

B.the central character should not be manipulated

C.the message conveyed by the characterization is important

D.Mr. Drake is not good at writing novels

60.It seems that _____ .

A.Bret isn't created for the stage

B.Bret is surrounded by a hostile environment

C.Bret is too simple minded to be liked by anyone

D.Bret himself is indifferent to his environment

61.Mr. Drake _____ .

A.is using his book to send a message to people

B.does not like his character himself

C.does not have a pleasant experience as a child

D.is too impersonal in writing the story

62.This passage is most likely to be _____ .

A.a drama review

B.a novel review

C.a comment on lack of parental love or children

D.a comment on story writing styles

Passage 4

Public officials and candidates for public office routinely use public opinion polls to keep track of what the people are thinking.An important question is the degree to which these polls should guide leaders in their actions.There are arguments for and against the use of polls as

the basis for policy decisions.

Polls can contribute to effective government by keeping political leaders from getting too far out of line with the public's thinking.In a democratic society,the effectiveness of a public policy often depends on the extent of its public support.When a policy is contrary to the public's desires,people may choose to disregard or undermine it,thus making it counterproductive or inefficient.Further,when government pursues a course of action with which a large proportion of the public disagrees,it risks a loss of public confidence,which can have a negative effect on its ability to lead.The Reagan administration,flying high from 1981 to 1985, was brought low in 1986 by public reaction to news of its secret sales of weapons to Iran.The administration had not paid sufficient attention to polls that revealed the deep antagonism Americans still felt toward Iran because the Ayatollah Khomeini's regime had held sixty three American hostages(人质)in 1979 1981.

However,leaders can also do a disservice to the public they represent by using poll results as a substitute for policy judgment.“Effective government”,as Walter Lippmann wrote,“cannot be conducted by legislators and officials who, when a question is presented,ask themselves first and last not what is the truth and which is the right and necessary course, but What does the Gallup Poll say?” During his presidential term,Jimmy Carter proposed five consecutive infla tion fighting programs,changing his plans with each shift in public sentiment without having invested the political capital necessary to get Congress and the country behind any of the efforts .The nation and Carter would probably have been better served by a steadfast commitment to a single course of action.

63.The main idea of the second paragraph is that _____ .

A.Reagan lost a lot of support later in his administration

B.leaders should learn to win support for their policies

C.it is up to the leaders to determine the value of public opinion

D.public opinion polls are very important to a democratic society

64.What Walter Lippmann means is that _____ .

A.some government leaders can never run the government effectively

B.in solving any problem,leaders should first try to find out the public opinion on it C.good leaders should learn to disregard public opinion in policy making

D.leaders should take effective decisions based on sound judgment and act on them with determination

65.The Carter example shows that for a leader _____ .

A.rational judgment is important in face of unfavorable public opinion

B.public opinion is all the more important in difficult time

C.it is advisable to ignore public opinion in handling bad economic situations

D.it is important to be on good terms with both the Congress and the public

66.Which of the following statements best expresses the main idea of the passage?

A.Country leaders should be ready to yield to public opinion.

B.Public opinions should be carefully used in policy making.

C.Governmental policies should be made in line with public thinking.

D.Public polls are useless unless they are used for policy making.

Passage 5

The transplantation of functioning human immune systems into mice was reported by two California research teams in September 1988.The mice should have many important uses in medical science,such as enabling researchers to test treatments against a number of diseases and to study the effects of infectious microorganisms-including the AIDS virus-on the human immune system. Both research groups-at the Medical Biology Institute in La Jolla and at Standford University-started with a special strain of mice that are without an immune system.The La Jolla scientists injected the mice with human B cells and T cells,white blood cells that are major components of the immune system.The cells reproduced in the mice's bodies and migrated throughout the animals'circulatory systems.

The Stanford researchers implanted human fetal lival tissues,thymus gland tissues,and lymph nodes,into the mice.In the mice' bodies,the liver cells produced stem cells,which develop into the various kinds of blood cells.The implanted tissues converted the stem cells into B cells and T cells.

The mice with immune system transplants by both research teams were fully protected against infectious disease.Ordinarily,mice of the strain used by the scientists die soon after birth unless they are kept in a sterile(无菌的)environment.

67.The purpose of the researches in those two universities was to _____ .

A.use mouse blood to treat many diseases

B.use human blood to cure sick mice

C.find out how human immune system might be affected

D.find out if human immune system was similar to that of mice

68.The two researchers were similar in that both research groups _____ .

A.had the same objective to their researches

B.used the same procedures in their researches

C.injected the same kind of blood cells into the mice

D.used the same experimental instrument in their work

69.Finally the two researches _____ .

A.had quite different findings

B.got similar findings

C.failed since the mice soon died

D.had no particular results

https://www.wendangku.net/doc/894370483.html,paredwith Standford University researchers,those in the other university _____ .

A.experimented with fewer kinds of blood cells

B.used a less advanced method

C.employed a more direct method

D.got less convincing results

Part IV English Chinese Translation

Directions:Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.(15 points)

Immediately after the Civil War,however,the diet began to change.(71) Rail transportation increased the supply and improved the quality of the milk that reached urban centers;cold storage and refrigerator cars made possible the greater consumption of fresh vegetables,fresh fruits,and fresh fish;and commercial canning extended the range of appetizing and healthful foods. Subsequently food statistics indicated an increased consumption of dairy products,fresh fruit,fresh vegetables,sugar and syrups,coffee,tea,cocoa,and spices.Decreased consumption was shown for meats,potatoes,and grain products. (72) By and large,the American diet continued to reflect a considerable reliance upon animal products,rather than on grains,which meant that a relatively large acreage was required to feed the American pulblic. Whereas a grain and fish diet,such as in Japan,requires only a quarter of an acre high yield cropland and no pasture per capita,the American diet requires about two and a half acres of cropland and ten acres of pasture per capita.Also it indicated a shift toward the so called protective foods,toward those high in vitamins and proteins.(73) This change was greatly furthered by governmental food inspection(the Pure Food and Drug Act was passed in 1906),by the increasing use of mechanical refrigerators in the 1920's and 1930's and of freezers for frozen food during recent decades. In the years after World War I a food revolution took place that was reminiscent of the one that occured after the Civil War.The output of the food manufacturing industry quadrupled from 1900 to 1940.(74) In that interval,as we have mentioned earlier,home canning gave way to commercial canning,and the labor of housekeeping was lightened.

Fortunately most of the major dietary changes that have taken place since the middle of the nineteenth century have resulted in better nutrition for the population.In part,these shifts have taken place because of a preference for new foods rather than old,but in part,they have been made because the new foods were advocated by nutritionists.Apparently American dietary customs were not so deeply ingrained as to prevent change in the interests of better health.(75) Possibly one factor that has contributed to the readiness of Americans to accept new foods or food preparations is the general familiarity most have with a variety of regional dishes coming from many different lands. Within a small area in New York City or San Francisco,one can find restaurants specializing in French,Italian,German,Turkish,Arabian,or Chinese cuisine.And at a Chinese resturant in the United States the chef and waiter are as likely as not to be Oriental.

研究生入学考试模拟英语试题[16]讲评:

[词汇与结构][完型填空][阅读理解][英译汉][写作]

Part I Structure and V ocabulary

Section A

1.(B) “他明天去巴黎,加上这次,他就去了20次了。”根据句意,应用将来完成时态。句中有back

一词,故选D不合适。

2.(B) 此句是含蓄虚拟语气句,含蓄虚拟条件为:if they hadn't happened to be short of hands,…。故

应选B。

3.(D) As在句子中是关系代词,引导非限定性定语从句,其先行词是整个主句。which也具备这种语

法作用,但只能放在主句之后;而as既可置于主句前,插入主句中,又可置于主句后。请参见1995年考研试题(8),1993年考题(26)。

4.(D) what引导名词从句,起名词作用,做介词宾语。句意为:“美国电视中大部分节目都是用来吸

引人们去超市买那些在电视上做广告的产品。”

5.(A) 选they,因为后面是一个省略了的句子…as angrily as they(replied)。that从句是replied的宾语。

6.(B) to have a large fortune与to do well a bit of work…是并列不定式。另外,worth,worthy,worthwhile

在用法上的区别是:1)worth是介词,后接动名词或名词,形成介词短语。接动名词时,与主语是动宾关系,其形式是主动的,意义是被动的。如:The book is worth reading.2)worthy是形容词,

置于be动词后或名词后面,做后位修饰语,其结构是:be worthy of doing sth., be worthy to be done。

3)worthwhile 是形容词,要与形式主语it并用:It is worthwhile to read the book.worth 和worthy 都

不能用于这种结构。

7.(D) no more…than…,“不比……更……”。此句意为:“研究表明:喝了酒但不过量的司机可能出

车祸,不喝酒的司机也同样可能出车祸。”

8.(C) 分词做伴随情况状语,形容词open在短语中做补语,表示状态,不用过去分词。所以D不正

确。

9.(A) B和C之所以错,主要是由于long的位置不对,应为:B:Being long used;C:Having long been

used。句子前半部分是状语,故D也不对。由此可见A是唯一可接受的选择。

10.(C) 句中不定式表示原因:“学生们有机会与美国人用英语交谈,很受鼓舞。”所以应用不定式完

成式。如果句子用的是一般现在时are,那么选A是对的。

Section B

11.(A)错应将which改成that,that从句是promise的同位语,不能用which引导。

12.(B)错应改成:as。此句用的是not so much…as 结构。

13.(C)错worse 是比较级形式,所以应接than all。

14.(A)错应改成将来完成式:shall have finished,表示“到下周你回来时我已经完成了学期论文”。请

参见1994年考题(1)。

15.(C)错应改成:getting,从意义上讲应与knowing并列,而不是同to solve并列。

16.(B)错应改成:…depends not on,构成并列结构:…not on…but on…。

17.(B)错应改成:turn off,表示虚拟。

18.(C)错应改成:as the priviledge,在并列或比较结构中,介词一般不省略。请参见1993年考题(68)。

19.(C)错应用过去式stopped表示虚拟,在句中与started并列。

20.(C)错应改成:be made,因为是…can neither be exchanged… nor be made…。

Section C

21.(B) stop over,“中途暂短停留”;stop by,“顺便访问”;pull up,“(使)停下”;drop in,“非正式访问”、

“顺便来访”,也可以说drop by,drop in on sb.,drop over。

22.(D) all but,“几乎”、“差一点”;anything but,“根本不”;none but,“只有”;nothing but,“只不过”、

“只有(指物)”。

23.(C) mobility:able to be moved easily,“随时可以移动”;travelling,“旅行”、“移动”,本句指可移

动性,故travelling不甚准确;movement,“移动”、“运动”;freedom,“自由”,与句中后半部分的freely重复,也不合适。所以C为最佳选择。

24.(A) result in,“结果是”、“导致”;center on,“以……为中心”;adujst to,“调整”;refer to,“指的是”。

25.(B) against 此处的意思是:“挨”、“靠”、“依”,其他几个介词都不能用在本句中。

26.(A) work off,“排除”、“消除”,如:He usually works off his drowsiness by taking a brisk walk.“他经

常用轻快的散步来消除瞌睡。”let off,“放(炮)”、“免除(责任、任务)”;play off,“假装”、“冒充”、“再赛以决定胜负”;put off,“推迟”。

27.(B) in turn,“反过来”;in the long run,“从长远观点看”;as a result,“结果”;in return,“作为回报”。

本句讲的是咖啡因使心率加快,而心率加快又会影响循环系统疾病,谈论“心率和循环系统疾病的关系及相互作用”,不仅仅是结果,所以B是最佳选择。

28.(C) convince sb. of sth.,“使某人确信某事”;assert,“断言”、“宣称”,不用assert sb. of sth.这一结

构;ensure“保证”、“确保”;conceive of,“想象”、“构思”。

29.(A) persuasive,“劝导性的”、“劝诱性的”;advisible,“适当的”、“可取的”;irresistible,“无法抵

制的”、“不可抗拒的”,这个词不能用来修饰technique,语义上不通;appealing,“有感染力的”、“吸引人的”,不是technique of advertising本身是否吸引人,而是说它的“劝诱性”吸引人,使得人

们相信它说的是事实而去买广告上宣传的产品。所以选A为最佳。

30.(D) capacity,“能力”、“能量”,通常用来指production capacity(生产能力),seating capacity(观众容

纳量),carrying capacity(承载量),transportation capacity(运输能力);capability:power of doing things,“本领”、“才能”,national defense capabilities(国防能力)。capacity和capability在翻译时都可译成“能力”,但capacity指生产能力或容纳能力,用于人指接受能力或理解能力;capability用于人指智力方面的潜在力量或天赋,用于物指可能性或适应性。potentiality,“潜力”;quota,“定额”。

31.(C) indispensible,“必不可少的”;unavoidable,inevitable,“不可避免的”;fundamental,“基本的”。

32.(B) dedicated,“具有奉献精神的”,与devoted同义;committed也有“奉献”、“献身”的意思,但一

般习惯上做定语修饰people;determined,“确定了的”、“坚决的”;contributed,“所贡献的”,用在句中均不合适。

33.(D) reputation,“名声”;admiration,“羡慕”,不说build up admiration;vanity,“虚荣”,也不能与

build up搭配使用;honor,“名誉”、“光荣”。admiration,vanity,honor都不是“建立”起来的。secure admiration,“获得赞美”,invite admiration,“引起羡慕”,win admiration,“赢得赞美”;achieve(gain、attain)honor,“获得荣誉”;gralify(flatter)vanity,“满足(迎合)……虚荣心”。

34.(B) job vacancy,“职位空缺”;position,“位置”、“职位”、“职务”;occupation“职业”、“工作”;post,

“岗位”。

35.(A) vision,“视力”、“视觉”;view,“景象”、“观点”、“眼界”;visibility,“可见性”、“显性”;perception,

“感觉”、“洞察力”、“理解力”。

36.(D) conversely,“相反地”;meanwhile,“同时”;accordingly,“相应地”、“从而”;likewise,“同样”。

表示train flash by 和motionless的对比,应用D。

37.(A) account for,“说明(原因)”、“(数量上)占”。如:The hilly area accounts for a third of the county's

cultivated land.“丘陵地占该县耕地面积的三分之一。”take up,“占(空间、时间)”;turn out,“生产”、“结果是(to be)”;amount to,“相当于”、“合计”。manufacturing amounts to…语义上不合适。

38.(B) be exposed to,“暴露于……”、“面临”、“处于……情况(条件)下”;be left to sb.,“留给……照

管”,be left to do sth.,“剩下……做……”;be faced with,“面临”;be trusted with,“委托……办”。

39.(C) toss可指“往上抛”;cast,“往下撒”;pitch,“投”、“掷”;elevate,“升高”、“上升”、“抬起”;

40.(D) excluded,“被排除在外”;isolated,“被孤立”;dismissed,“被开除”;distracted,“被分散(注

意力)”。

Part ⅡCloze Test

短文大意:美国内战(即南北战争)在美国历史上有着独特的地位。这场规模宏大的战争的历史,实际上是由许许多多独立的个人历史组成的。这些士兵们的个人经历使我们有可能理解南北战争的恢弘画卷。虽然大多数士兵未留下记录自己言行的只言片语,但有一些人写过日记和家书,使我们能够详细了解他们的个人历史。

段首句译文:“南北战争在美国历史上有着独特的地位。”

41.(C) a higher

紧接段首句,本句具体解释南北战争的“独特地位”--在国民心目中占有最高地位。英语中常以比较级的否定句来表示最高级的意思,C.a higher 符合文意。如选A.any high places, B.a high place 或

D.the highest place,则把包括独立战争(the Revolution)在内的一切事件全部否定,不合逻辑,故A、

B、D均不正确。

42.(A) regard

A.regard 意为:“重视”、“关心”、“敬重”、“敬意”,在此符合文意。

B.response(反应),

C.reward(奖

赏),D.registration(登记、注册)均不合题意。

译文:“没有任何事件,甚至独立革命,在国民的心目中占有比它更高的地位。”

43.(D) ever

本句动词fought是修饰battles的过去分词,不能再有主语,故排除A.one。C.before做副词时只能放在动词后面,故排除C。B.once与D.ever都是副词,但因有最高级形容词bloodest,故只有ever 符合文意。

44.(D) resourceful

A.decisive(决定性的)一般不用于描写人;

B.confidential(保密的、机密的),

C.impartial (公正的、不

偏袒的)在此与文意不符也应排除。D.resourceful 意为:“机智的”、“办法多的”,为正确选择。

译文:“它是在美国本土上进行过的伤亡最惨重的战斗,参战的英雄们是最有人情味同时又是最机智的。”

选项用法举例:a decisive battle,“决定性的一仗”;a decisive victory,“决定性的胜利”;decisive factor,“决定因素”;a confidential meeting,“秘密会议”;confidential information,“机密情报”;a confidential secretary,“机要秘书”。

45.(C) but

C.but 在这里是“而是”的意思,符合文意。A.and 表示“一个及多个故事”,B.or 表示“一个或多个

故事”,D.with 表示“一个含有多个故事的故事”,故A、B、D均不合文意。

译文:“这场战争的历史包含着关于招募新兵、战争工业、战时供应、军事领袖、政治、外交及民众士气等许多故事。它其实不是一个故事,而是许多独立的故事,每一个都很复杂、扑朔迷离。”

46.(B) reduced

A.declined 作“缩小”、“减少”解时为不及物动词,没有被动用法,可从语法角度排除。过渡词

however提示本句与上句应为逻辑转折关系,C.extended(延长、延伸)和D.expanded(扩大、扩展)都不合逻辑,应予排除。只有B.reduced(缩小、减少)既符合逻辑又符合语法要求,是正确答案。

译文:“然而,可以根据战争中那些士兵的经历把南北战争缩小到人们能理解的程度。”

47.(B) Each

本句主语指上文提到的soldiers,代词his表明主语应为单数,故C.All可以排除。A.One指“某一个”,D.The soldier指“那一个士兵”,均不合逻辑,也应排除。只有B.Each表达了“所有士兵中的每一个”这层意思,符合逻辑。

48.(D) fashion

本题四个选项为同义词,都有“方式”、“式样”的意思,但只有D.fashion常用于较抽象的意义。in some fashion等于in some way,故D为正确答案。A.mode通常强调“方法”、“作法”、“形式”、“种类”;

B.model特指“样式”、“款式”、“模型”,且通常用于介词on 或after之后;

C.style也有“方式”的意

思,但主要指“流行样式”、“(与题材相对的)写作方式(文体)”、“建筑(服装等)的样式(款式)”,故A、

B、C都不合适。译文:“他们每人都有自己的历史,自己的亲身经历,这些个人经历以某种方式

反映了战争中更伟大的力量。”

选项用法举例:adopt a new mode of action,“采取新的行动方式”;the mode of thinking,“思想方

式”;His mode of business is o ffensive to me.“他做生意的方式使我反感。”Automobiles are a popular mode of transportation.“汽车是一种普及的交通工具。”live after foreign models,“按外国方式生活”;

build a house on the model of a country villa,“照乡村别墅的样式建房”;the style of the 30's,“30年代的流行式样”;He changed his style of painting.“他改变了画风。”What style of furniture do you

like?“你喜欢什么式样的家具?”They lived in European style.“他们按欧洲方式生活。”He lived in an

expensive fashion.“他过着奢华的生活。”She speaks in a strange fashion.“她说话的样子很怪。”

49.(D) beyond

D.beyond意为:“(程度上)超出、越过”,在含疑问或否定意义的结构中有“除……以外”的意思,符

合文意。A. between,B. beneath,C. behind 在此都不适用。

译文:“虽然大多数士兵除了他们在部队名单、伤亡报告及其他公开文件中受到人们短暂的注意外没有留下有关自己思想和活动的任何记录,但有些人写过日记和私信,从而使我们能够详细了解

他们的个人历史。”

50.(A) closely

虽然closely和carefully 都可译成“仔细地”,但A.closely有“近距离地”、“详细地”等含义,而

B.carefully主要指“谨慎地”、“小心地”,

C.privately(私下里)和

D.intimately (亲近地、熟悉地)都不

合文意。从上下文看,只有A符合文意。

Part ⅢReading Comprehension

51.(C) 第一段第二、三句指出,在50年代中期,英国历史学家普遍认为苏联应对冷战的开端负全部

责任,因为它既多疑又贪婪(suspicious and grasping)。这种观点与人们对美国的传统看法极相一致

(fit comfortably with)。D意为:“这种看法给他们以心理平静”。

52.(B) 本句中reverse意为:“颠倒”。第一段第四句指出,在60年代,另一种观点开始流行(flower)。

他们认为,战后的苏联理所当然地(understandably)产生了一种防御意图,因为美国人表现得盛气

凌人、做事毫无顾忌(behaved aggressively and irresponsibly)。它由于独有原子弹的威慑力(atomic

monopoly),便放弃了罗斯福总统时代协调式外交政策而恃强欺弱(bullying attitude)。可见,这种看法与所谓“正统”的观点截然相反。C意为:“认为对…正统?的观点不屑一顾”。

53.(D) 第二段说明了“新正统”观点。该观点仍认为冷战主要应由苏联一方负责,但同时承认美国的

对外政策也加剧了冲突。美国本来是想寻求国际安全的,但由于其对内政策的限制(constraints)及其领导人的错误估计(miscalculation),结果使国家陷入了危险的冷战。

54.(C) 最后一段指出,有关冷战起源的历史争议也使人不得不承认:在战后外交中,美国也要维护

其切身利益,而政策制定者在谋求这些利益时表现得过急(with eagerness)。最后,作者用几个反问

表明了自己的观点:追求自身利益是不是不道德呢?安全的维护是单方面的(one way street意为:“单行道”)吗?在复杂的国际争端中,是否受责备的仅是一方呢?

55.(B) B意为:“有一致的证据、证明”。本文提到了生理学、解剖学、实验心理学等方面的研究结果,

证明大脑的两半球有不同功能。A意为:“证明是无道理的”。

56.(A) 参考第一段第二句与第三段第二句。这两句均指出,左脑与分析能力、数学能力、语言能力

等有关。换言之,在进行这些方面的活动时,左脑更活跃。

57.(A) 文章最后一句提到另一个证据。常坐教室左边座位的人被称作“向右转眼者(right shifters)”,

而第三段第二句指出:这些人在知觉活动中表现出更强的分析能力,他们在语言-概念的组合、数学以及与数学、科学和理论相关的测试中能获得更高的分(score higher)。

58.(B) 这是本文旨在说明的问题。文章第一句就开门见山地提出了这一问题(本句中implication意为:

“意义”)。文章从几方面的研究说明了左右脑的功能与人的思维方式、认识方式、情感和习惯等个性特征(personality)紧密相关。

59.(C)意为:“通过人物刻画所传达的信息非常重要”。第一段第二句指出,在《孩子们,小孩子们》

一书中,作者对孩子所遭受的待遇表示忧虑和不满。第三段第七句指出,所塑造的单一性格的人物(one sided characterization)--疯狂的父亲、不成熟的母亲、吝啬的祖父、自私的姑姑、残忍的邻居、完全被误解的布莱特--走过照得通明的舞台,展示一个道理(moving across a lit stage to dramatize

a message)。

60.(B)意为:“布莱特生活在充满敌意的环境中”。参阅第59题题解。

61.(A)意为:“通过他的书表达一个道理”。参阅第59题题解。

62.(B)意为:“小说评论”。第三段最后一句指出,虽然其真实的结尾没有结局或展开(without resolution

or growth or development)--在舞台上是行得通的,但是,这却与小说的结尾差之甚远(it is contrary to everything a novel should do)。最后一段指出,称该书是一部小说是出版者的错误,该作品更像一个剧本,是德雷克先生印成书的心理剧(psychodrama in print),我们有理由这样看它。通过以上的分析可以看出,该书实际上是一本小说,但却具有戏剧的许多特征。

63.(D) 本文主要谈的是如何对待民意测验(public opinion polls)的问题(第一段第二句)。第二段指出,

民意测验可以防止领导违背民意(getting too far out of line with the public thinking)、增加治国

(government)的效率。在民主社会里,政策的有效性往往取决于公众的支持程度。当政府有违民意时,公众就会对之不置一顾或抵制,使之无效或起到相反的作用。这是第二段旨在说明的观点,下文举了里根总统的例子来说明这一点。C意为:“民意测验的价值由领导来确定”。

64.(D) 里普曼指出,在问题面前,一个高效的政府不应该始终(first and last)问自己“民意如何”(Gallup

Poll意为:“盖洛普民意测验”,指一种民意测验方法),而应该问:“什么是现实?该如何正确处理?”(course在此意为:“行动方针”)下文举了卡特总统的例子做了进一步说明。当然,这并不是说应无视民意,而是说不应该让民意代替制定政策时所应做出的判断(参考第三段第一句)。

65.(A) A意为:“面对不利的公众意见时理智的判断非常重要”。第三段指出,不能让民意代替理智的

判断,否则,反而会危害公众利益(do a disservice to the public)。在制定治理通货膨胀的(inflation fighting)计划时,卡特总统表现得很不果断,随着民意(public sentiment)的改变几易其计划,结果未能调动其政治力量(political capital)去赢得国会和全国的支持(get Congress and the country behind any of the efforts)。B意为:“在困难的时候民意更显得重要”;D意为:“同国会和民众搞好关系非常重要”。

However, of the people who immediately 1 to mind when one thinks of entrepreneurs——Bill Gates, Richard Branson or Oprah Winfrey, for example—few have done more than 2 a speech at a business school. 3 , a recent study by King's College in London has suggested what many intuitively 4 : that entrepreneurship may actually be in the blood—more to do with genes than classroom experience. All of which 5 the question—does an entrepreneur really need a business-school education? Not surprisingly some of the best-known schools in the field have a 6 answer to this: they don't actually profess to create entrepreneurs, 7 they nurture innate ability. Or as Timothy Faley of the entrepreneurial institute at Michigan's Ross School of Business 8 it: “A good idea is not enough. You need to know how to 9 a good idea into a good business.” Schools do this in a number of ways. One is to 10 that faculty are a mix of classic academics and businesspeople with experience of 11 their own successful firms. They can also create “incubators” where students 12 ideas and rub shoulders on a day-to-day basis with the external business world, receiving both advice and hard cash in the form of investment. Arguably such help is now more important than ever. The modern entrepreneur is faced with a more 13 world than when Richard Branson began by selling records out of a phone box. According to Patrice Houdayer, head of one of Europe's best-known entrepreneurship schools, EMIYON in France, new businesses used to move through a 14 series of growth steps—what he terms garage, local, national and international. Now however, 15 the communications revolution, they can leapfrog these stages and go global more or less straightaway—encountering a whole new 16 of problems and challenges. In this 17 Professor Houdayer maintains that the increasingly 18 nature of MBA classes can help the nascent entrepreneur in three ways: by plugging them into an international network of contacts and advisors, by preparing them for the pitfalls and opportunities 19 with dealing across different cultures and by 20 them to the different ways that business is conducted around the globe.

The above picture unveils a common social phenomenon and the symbolic meaning of the photo is the effect of the mobile phone on people’s way of life. Undoubtedly, the phone provides us with considerable convenience, making many things possible which are beyond our dreams. As a communication tool, the phone makes us closer than ever before by providing immediate communication. Meanwhile, there are negative effects on our personal life. As is shown in the picture, people are imprisoned in their own world! They choose contacting online rather than communicating face to face. Accordingly, enjoying the convenience provided by the phones, we should bear in mind that human beings are social beings who need real interpersonal interactions! Joint efforts are needed to ensure people to have face-to-face communication!

In separate cases over the past couple of years the FTC has insisted that Twitter and Google accept regular 19 audits, too, after each firm was accused of violating its customers’ privacy. The intent seems to be to create a regulatory regime that is tighter than the status quo, 20 one that still gives social networks plenty of room to innovate. 1.
