个选择项A, B, C, D ,选出最适合的答案）

Passage One

Thirty years ago, most teenagers had bicycles, but now they are comparatively rare. 21 , motor scooters（小型摩托车）are much more common. 22 , this may seem a sign of progress but 23 the change is not necessarily for the better.

It is easy to see why young people prefer scooters. 24 , they are much faster and do not require much physical effort; 25 , you can take a passenger with you on the pillion（后座）seat behind; 26 , they give young people a feeling of independence, because they can travel further and impress their friends. 27 , the disadvantages are equally obvious. 48 first sight, scooters are more expensive to buy and to maintain, and 29 those under 16 are not allowed to have them. 30 , greater freedom brings danger because speed encourages young people to take risks and as a result scooters are involved 31 more accidents, and the accidents are 32 more serious.

Bicycles are safer and easier or control. Years ago, teenagers had more experience with them because they 33 to ride as young children, and consequently knew what they were capable of. 34 , many young people over-estimate what a scooter can do and pretend it has the power of a motor-cycle.

35 , the fact is that bicycles are not very safe, 36 , in cities these days because there are more cars and drivers are not used to them and do not make allowances for them.

37 , those who are old enough to ride scooters naturally prefer them.

Those who are too young or cannot afford to buy a scooter probably find bicycles slow and uncomfortable 38 , and riding bicycles requires 39 experience of traffic than before. On balance, the change has been for the worse, 40 for the 13-and 14-year-olds, but the only safe solution would be to have special lanes（车道）for cyclists.

Passage Two

Colleges and universities are beginning to change the way they do business, because the students are changing. It used to be 41 most students went to college immediately out of high school, left home for the first time to live 42 campus, and completed a degree in four years to 43 in the world of work in their chosen profession, perhaps never to return to the university again. Today, the growing college population are adult students over the age of 25 who are non- 44 , working full-time, perhaps with a family from diverse backgrounds. 45 , they expect the college or university to 46 to their time constraints and to offer course that are more 47 than just on-campus. Frequently, they view themselves as 48 to faculty and do not want to sit idly at the knees of masters as 49 listeners. The "one-text/one-test/one-delivery-mode-fits-all" 50 to instruction is becoming less and less 51 .They are becoming more attracted to institutions like the University of Phoenix 52 greetings is, "We' re a new type of university centered 53 you, the student."

The 54 of this new group of adult learners should not be ignored by institutions of higher education. If this group is dissatisfied, their 55 for the academy will decline. And this dissatisfaction will spread to 56 students of all types. 57 , it is becoming more and more apparent that the university's role in developing "life-long learners" is 58 , as with the global economic changes new jobs are replacing old ones 59 such an extent that the ability to be a skillful, 60 life-long learner is a requirement to survive in the world of work.

PartⅢ Reading Comprehension

（20）

Directions: There are 4 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

A quality education is the ultimate liberator. It can free people from poverty, giving them the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society. It can also free communi?t ies and countries, allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity that otherwise would not be possible.

For this reason, the international community has committed itself to getting all the children around the world into primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for All.

Can Education for All be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely "yes" , although it is a dif?f icult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing at least five years of primary school, instead of just enrolling for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for edu?-cation, then the challenge becomes even more difficult. Only 32 countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to 88 if completion rates are used as the criterion.

Still, the aim can be achieved with the right policies and the right support from the international community. 59 of the 88 countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in high-performing systems.

They also need significant increases in external financing and technical support. The 29 coun?t ries lagging farthest behind will not reach the goal without unprecedented（前所未有的）rates of pro?g ress. But this is attainable with creative solutions, including use of information technologies, flexi?b le and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people living in poverty.

A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is

that a country' s capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies, institutions and management. Where a country scores well on these criteria, foreign assistance can be highly effective.

61. From the first paragraph, we know that a quality education can _______.

A）free countries from foreign rules

B）liberate people from any exploitation

C）speed up social progress

D）give people more freedom and knowledge

62. The ideal aim of the project of Education for All by 2015 is_______.

A）to make all the world' s children complete primary school

B）to enroll all the world' s children into primary school

C）to offer quality education to children of 88 countries

D）to support those committed to transforming their education systems

63. How many countries have difficulty in achieving Education for All on the basis of

completion rates ?

A）32 B）59 C）29 D）88

64. According to the passage, the goal of Education for All_______.

A）can be achieved easily in all countries by 2015

B）can be achieved only in 32 wealthy countries by 2015

C）can' t be achieved in the countries lagging farthest

D）can be achieved in all countries if the right policies are adopted

65. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that foreign aid_______.

A）is most effective for those countries lagging farthest behind

B）is always highly effective for those countries lagging behind

C）may not be highly effective

D）is provided only when some criteria are met

Passage two

In October 1949 the United Nations brought a number of specialists on food to Geneva, to discuss the problems of eating habits and food supplies of peoples throughout the world. One problem that interested the specialists particularly was a form of illness, about which little was known among the children in Africa.

Two doctors were chosen to make the study. They flew to Africa and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found that serious

diseases of poor eating, often mistaken for other diseases, existed in all parts

of Africa. The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor.

The diseased children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progresses, the child’s stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting

in the body. The skin changes colour and may break out in open sores. The hair changes colour and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time. Stomach liquids are no longer produced.

The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children

of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping their breast-feeding, gave them foods full of starches instead of greatly needed proteins. They found that the addition of milk to the food of children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.

It was necessary that the children of Africa be helped to eat better. The doctors suggested that the production of foods rich in protein be increased; they thought that more fish should be caught and more nuts should be grown. That urged education plans to teach mothers better ways of feeding children. They suggested that the United Nations should send large quantities of powdered milk to hospitals and child-health centers. Finally, they recommended closer study of all the special problems connected with kwashiorkor.

66.Kwashiorkor is a disease which is caused by .

A） poor living conditions B） mosquitoes

C） having no food D） not having enough protein

67.One difficulty in discovering kwashiorkor is that .

A） it has no viruses B） it is like other diseases

C） it is hard to see signs of it D） it does not last long

68.A main sign of the disease is that children who have it .

A） cannot sit still B） grow more hair

C） have a fat stomach D） are always hungry

69.A good way to cure the disease is by .

A） eating better B）eating more starch

C） taking the proper medicine D）drinking pure water

70.The United Nations can help to put an end to kwashiorkor by sending .

A） drugs B） food with high protein content

C）sanitary teams D） medical books

Passage Three

Dancer Martha Graham trained her body to move in different ways and in different contexts from any before attempted.“Life today is nervous, sharp, and zigzag”, she said.“It often stops in midair. That is what I aim for in my dances.”She insists she never started out to be a rebel. It was only that the emotions she had to express could not be projected through any of the traditional forms.

This was in 1925. All forms of art were undergoing a revolution. The theories of psychology were being used to extend the boundaries of poetry, music, and painting.

Martha Graham’s debut dance concert in her new idiom occurred on April 18, 1926. Connoisseurs of dance, gathered at the Forty-eighth Street Theater in New York, witnessed Martha Graham’s first foray into this new realm of dance. They saw, through such dance sequences as“Three Gobi Maidens,”and“A Study in Lacquer,”desires and conflicts expressed through bodily movements. These critics agreed that something entirely new, a departure from all previous forms, had been witnessed.

In the early thirties, she founded the Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance. Her classes were used as a laboratory for her stage works, and her stage works in turn were a means for attracting new pupils to her school—a sort of self-winding process, with herself as the key to the development.

Martha Graham and the school she has founded are virtually synonymous with the modern dance. She had not only produced a technique of the dance, choreographed and taught it, but her disciples have gone out to fill the modern dance world.

71. What does the passage mainly discuss？

A）Martha Graham’s development of modern dance.

B）The revolution of art forms in the 1920’s.

C）A dancer’s view of life.

D）The Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance.

72. It can be inferred from the passage that, in the beginning of her career, Martha Graham’s

mode of dance was.

A）readily accepted.

B）considered rebellious.

C）virtually ignored.

D）accepted only in New York.

73. It can be inferred from the passage that Martha Graham’s style of dance differed from

traditional dance in the

A）type of movements.

B）speed of the performance.

C）variety of themes.

D）ages of the performers.

74. In line 20, the author uses the phrase“sort of self-winding process”to illustrate

A）the new steps Graham developed for dance.

B）the relationship between Graham’s performances and her school.

C）the discipline demanded in Graham’s school.

D）the physical endurance of Graham’s dancers.

75. According to the passage, what is the present status of Martha Graham’s work？

A）It is historically interesting, but is no longer popular.

B）It has evolved into something completely different.

C）It is carried on by her students.

D）It causes heated debates.

Passage Four

The producers of instant coffee found their product strongly resisted in the market places despite their manifest（明显的）advantages. Furthermore, the advertising expenditure for instant coffee was far greater than that for regular coffee. Efforts were made to find the cause of the consumers’seemingly unreasonable resistance to the product. The reason given by most people was dislike for the taste. The producers suspected that there might be deeper reasons, however. This was confirmed by one of motivation research’s classic studies, one often cited in the trade. Mason Haire, of the University of California, constructed two shopping lists that were identical except for one item. There were six items common to both lists: hamburger, carrots（胡萝卜）, baking powder, bread, canned peaches and potatoes, with the brands of amounts specified. The seventh item, in the fifth place on both lists, read“1 lb. Maxwell House coffee”on one list and“Nescafe instant

coffee”on the other. One list was given to each person in a group of fifty women, and the other list to those in another group of the same size. The women were asked to study their lists and then to describe, as far as they could, the kind of woman（“personality and character”）who would draw up that shopping list. Nearly half of those who had received the list including instant coffee described a housewife who was lazy and a poor planner. On the other hand, only one woman in the other group described the housewife, who had included regular coffee on her list, as lazy; only six of that group suggested that she was a poor planner. Eight women felt that the instant-coffee user was probably not a good wife！No one in the other group drew such a conclusion about the housewife who intended to buy regular coffee.

76. The fact that producers found resistance to their product despite the fact that they spent

more advertising money on instant than regular coffee shows that .

A）advertising does not assure favorable sales results.

B）companies spent more money on advertising than they should.

C）people pay little attention to advertising.

D）the more one advertises the better the sales picture.

77. In this instance, the purpose of motivation research was to discover .

A）why people drink coffee.

B）why instant-coffee did not taste good.

C）why regular coffee was successful.

D）the real reason why people would not buy instant-coffee.

78. This investigation indicated that.

A）50 per cent of housewives are lazy.

B）housewives who use instant-coffee are lazy.

C）many women believe that wives who use instant coffee are lazy.

D）wives who use regular coffee are good planners.

79. On the results of this test, the producers probably revised their advertising to show a .

A）lazy housewife using regular coffee.

B）hard-working housewife using instant-coffee.

C）lazy housewife using instant-coffee.

D）man obviously enjoying the taste of instant-coffee.

80. Implied but not stated: .

A）Despite its advantages, most people dislike instant-coffee because of its taste.

B）The advertising expenditure for instant-coffee was greater than that for regular coffee.

C）Very often we do not know the real reasons for doing things.

D）Taste is the principal factor in determining what we buy.

81. 咨询律师为委托人利益作出的辩护不是针对法官和陪审团的。

82. 货币有四大主要职能：交换媒介；价值尺度；支付手段；储藏手段。

84. 他寝室里的那台破旧的黑白电视机是朋友留下来的。

85. 世界银行的主要目的是协助其成员国在自己的疆域内进行重建和发展。

86.In the United States, common law has been the predominant influence. 87. Since most of the colonists were of English origin, they naturally followed the laws and customs of their mother country. 88. But in Louisiana, and to some extent Texas and California, the civil law has influenced the legal systems, because these states were founded by the French and Spanish. 89. However, much of the law in every state of the United States is statutory, and statutes are becoming increasingly important.

90. Case law, or common law, remains an important source of law because of the extreme difficulty in reducing all law to writing in advance of an issue being raised.

全国在职研究生考试英语二卷

二卷模拟答案 Section A Directions:Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET. Discoveries in science and technology are thought by many to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents: Sir Isaac Newton noticed the falling apple in his garden and came forth with the gravitation law. This notion is obviously not true. Sir Alexander Fleming did not, as legend would have it, look at the mold on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then. In fact, he had experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery. Inventions and innovations almost always come out of laborious trial and error. Innovation, as well as inventions, is like soccer; even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score. Section B Directions:Translate the following passage into English. Write your translation on the ANSWER SHEET. 自然界开始了一次新的实验。人类不再只是能适应某一特定的环境，而是获得了能适应 任何环境的能力。他们分散到世界各地，在迁移中不断变化，直到成为在地球上分布最广的 物种。人类在身体和文化方面都适应于他们迁入的新环境。居住在赤道附近的人为了在强烈 日光下保护自己，渐渐地有了黑色皮肤。迁移到寒冷地带的人为了利用阳光合成维生素D， 渐渐地有了较为白皙的皮肤。住在寒冷而干燥地区的人们长得矮胖，以便保存热量；住在干 燥而炎热地区的人们长得高瘦，以便使热量容易散发。 答案： Section A 很多人认为科技发现是灵光一闪，或戏剧化事件的产物：艾萨克·牛顿爵士在花园中注意到了苹果落地，从而发现了万有引力定律。很显然，这一观点并不正确。弗莱明爵士并不如传闻所言那样，看到一片奶酪上的霉菌，在当时当地就想到（发明）了抗生素盘尼西林。事实上，他做了九年之久的抗细菌物质的实验，终于才有了他的发现。发现和革新总是来自于勤勉的“试误”实验。革新和发明就像是足球赛，即使是最好的选手也会射不进球，他们射门受阻的次数远远大于射门得分的次数。 Section B Nature began a new experiment. Instead of adapting to a specific environment, man has the capacity to adapt himself to any specific environment. They spread throughout the globe, changing as they moved, until they became the most widely distributed species on the earth. Man adapted physically as well as culturally to the new surroundings into which he moved. People who lived near equator developed dark skin to protect themselves from strong sunlight; people who moved to colder climates developed light skin to take advantage of the sunlight for the synthesis of vitamin D; people in cold dry climates became stocky to conserve heat. People in hot dry climates tended to become tall and thin to dissipate heat.
