PART IV READING COMPREHENSION(45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)

Directions: In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then to the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices

given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets

on your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.

Passage One

As many people hit middle age, they often start to notice that their memory and mental clarity are not what they used to be. We suddenly can?t remember where we put the keys just a moment ago or an old acquaintance?s name. As the brain fades, we refer to these occurrences as “senior moments.”While seemingly innocent, this loss of mental focus can potentially have a detrimental impact on our professional, social, and personal well-being.

Neuroscientists are increasingly showing that there?s actually a lot that can be done. It turns out that the brain needs exercise in much the same way out muscles do, and the right mental workouts can significantly improve our basic cognitive functions. Thinking is essentially a process of making neural connections in the brain. Because these connections are made through effort and practice, scientists believe that intelligence can expand and fluctuate according to mental effort.

A new company has taken it a step further and developed the first “brain training program”, called Lumosity, to actually help people improve and regain their mental sharpness. Lumosity is far more than an online place to exercise your mental skills. That?s because they have integrated these exercises into a Web-based program that allows you to systematically improve your memory and attention skills. The program keeps track of your progress and provides detailed feedback on your performance and improvement. Most importantly, it constantly modifies and enhances the games you play to build on the strengths you are developing –much like an effective exercise routine requires you to increase resistance and vary your muscle use.

Apparently it works. In randomized, controlled clinical trials Lumosity was shown to significantly improve basic cognitive functions. One study showed students improved their scores on math tests by 34 percent after using Lumosity for six weeks. The company says its users have reported clearer and quicker thinking, improved memory, increased alertness and awareness, elevated mood, and better concentration at work or while driving.

While many of the games at Lumosity are free, a modest subscription fee is required to use the full program over the long term. However, Lumosity is currently offering a free trial of their program to new users so that you can see how well it works before you decide to subscribe. The company believes the results will speak for themselves.

51. What can we learn about “senior moments”?

A. They are nothing to be worried about.

B. They happen to each middle-aged person.

C. They mostly happen to the elders.

D. They are signs of declining memory.

52. Neuroscientists are beginning to find that _______.

A. cognitive functions can be improved by mental effort

B. intelligence varies with the amount of physical exercise

C. “senior moments” are quite useful at work

D. our brain and muscles should be trained differently

53. From Paragraph 3, it can be concluded that Lumosity _______.

A. is just an online place to exercise your mental skills

B. requires the users to keep doing the same games

C. is a set of exercises intended for the mentally-retarded

D. can help users make improvement in the brain

54. Clinical trials have proved that Lumosity _______.

A. is better than reported

B. is highly effective and beneficial

C. should be under strict control

D. leaves much to be desired

55. Which of the following statements is true about Lumosity?

A. Access to these games is quite expensive.

B. Chronic users have to pay for the access to the games.

C. All the games at Lumosity are free of charge.

D. Access to the games is limited to subscribers.

56. The main purpose in writing this passage is to ________.

A. present the new findings of neuroscientists

B. remind the middle-aged to take physical exercise

C. describe how Lumosity came into being

D. introduce how braining training makes you smarter

Passage Two

According to psychology professor Carol Dweck of Stanford University, “Praising children for being smart can backfire.” If this doesn?t get the attention of Millennium parents, I?m not sure what will.

It is my observation that so many parents today believe that if their child appears to be the beast bit “advanced” for his age, he?s destined to be the next Albert Einstein, Tiger Woods, or Bill Gates. It?s human nature for mom and dad to show much admiration for their child and dish out praise for accomplishments achieved. The problem is, according to this study, parents may not be doing the best thing by praising their child for his intelligence.

Dweck?s research involved junior high students in New York and concluded that “classroom performance improved when her study subjects believed the brain is like a muscle that can grow.”Students who “focused on the learning process (effort, concentration or strategies used) asked for feedback and did better in all subjects.” Feedback such as, …You did well because you worked so hard?or …You used so many descriptive words to make this story interesting?can encourage children to try new things, as they are being rewarded for their effort. When the …time and effort?strategy is being positively reinforced, the child will probably use the same strategy next time they are learning something. Over time new strategies can be introduced, so the child?s repertoire of strategies is broadened.

Dweck goes on to say that “they (students who improved) performed better because their success was being measured by effort, not by test scores or grades.” Parents should praise effort, not just results. Children who received praise about their innate abilities (talents or strengths) had less chance of trying new things and became anxious and under performed as things became more difficult. That is one of the greatest dangers to continually praising children for whatever they do in order to falsely raise a child?s self-esteem.

What are mom and dad to do? Offer genuine praise and encouragement for effort and successes, but balance this with setting appropriate expectations and following up with consequences when the child falls short due to laziness. Don?t make excuses. Your child will better face the challenges life has to offer in the future when you as a parent recognize the efforts he is making today.

57. The underline word “backfire” in the first paragraph probably means ________.

A. create some miracles

B. produce an undesirable result

C. be negligible to some extent

D. be motivating and inspiring

58. Which of the following can be considered proper feedback?

A. You did really well on this spelling test, you must have spent hours practicing your words.

B. Oh, honey, you?re so smart – that failing grade won?t matter anyway.

C. This is a wonderful painting. What a great artist you are!

D. You did really well on this spelling test, you are very clever.

59. A child who is praised for his effort and strategy is likely to ________.

A. have his learning strategies increased

B. feel inferior to the smart children

C. have falsely high self-esteem

D. expect more praise and encouragement

60. Praising a child for his talent may ________.

A. encourage him to try new things

B. motivate him to greater efforts

C. leave him less prepared for challenges

D. put his life at risk in case of failure

61. The author?s advice to parents is _______.

A. to expose the child to greater challenges

B. not to expect too much of a child

C. to forbid the child to make any excuses

D. to combine praise with constructive criticism

62. Which of the following can be a proper title for this passage?

A. Never Praise Your Child for Any of His Achievements

B. Praise Your Child, But Not for Being Smart

C. How to Reward a Child for His Effort

D. Praise – a Must for the Child?s Future

Passage Three

As a new matchmaker, internet dating sites promise two cutting edges: a vastly greater choice of potential partners and scientifically proven way of matching suitable people together.

The greater choice is unarguable. But does is lead to better outcomes? And do the “scientifically tested methods”actually work? These are the questions asked by a team of psychologists led by Eli Finkel.

The researchers? first observation is how any of the much-boasted partner-matching methods actually works. Many firms preserve their intellectual property as trade secrets, and there is no reason why internet dating sites should not be among them. But this renders claims of effectiveness impossible to test objectively. There is thus no independent scientific evidence that any of these methods does enhance the chance of their hitting it off when they meet.

It is possible to test the value of a claim that they match people with compatible personality traits. However, Dr Dyrenforth asked more than 20,000 people about their relationships and assessed their personalities. Members of couples with similar personalities were indeed happier than those without. But the difference was just 0.5%.

Surely, the chances of finding that magic other are increased by the second thing internet dating brings: a multitude of choice. But here, too, things are not as simple as they might seem.

An assumption behind all consumer decisions is that what people think they want is what they actually need. And the data suggest people are not good at knowing what they want. One of Dr Finkel?s own studies showed that when they are engaged in speed dating, people?s stated preferences at the beginning of the process do not well match the characters of the individuals they actually like. When faced with abundant choices, people pay less attention to characteristics that require thinking and conversation to evaluate and more to matters physical. Choice, in other words, dulls the critical faculties.

Finkel?s conclusion is that love is as hard to find on the internet as elsewhere. You may be just as likely to luck out in the local café, or by acting on the impulse to stop and talk to that stranger on the street whose glance you caught, as you are by clicking away with a mouse and hoping that, one day, Cupid?s arrow will strike.

63. The effectiveness of the dating sites is difficult to verify scientifically because they ________.

A. keep their intellectual property secret

B. have two cutting edges

C. adopt strange matching methods

D. are good at deception as evidenced

64. The expression “hit it off” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.

A. say goodbye

B. get along well

C. get hurt

D. dislike each other

65. Dr. Dyrenforth found that couples with different personalities ________.

A. were much less happy than those with similar personalities

B. were more likely to divorce than those with similar personalities

C. were almost as happy as those with similar personalities

D. were much happier than those with similar personalities

66. According to Paragraph 6, the abundance of choices offered by the dating sites ________.

A. can increase the chance of finding ideal partners

B. helps people to become better aware of what they want

C. divers attention from other mental qualities

D. leads to exclusive concern with one?s appearance

67. Finkel?s conclusion is that ________.

A. it is impossible to find true love on the Internet wherever you are

B. you are as likely to find love through chance encounters as via the Internet

C. you are more likely to find love through these online dating sites

D. you can find love more easily by talking to a stranger on the street

68. The researchers? attitude towards these Internet dating sites is ________.

A. suspicion

B. confidence

C. objection

D. recommendation

Passage Four

Many countries have made it illegal to talk into a hand-held mobile phone while driving. But the latest research provides further confirmation that the danger lies less in what a motorist?s hands do when he takes a call than in what the conversation does to his brain. Even using a “hands-free” device can impair a driver?s attention to an alarming extent.

Melina Kunar of the University of Warwick and Todd Horowitz of the Harvard Medical School ran a series of experiments in which two groups of volunteers had to pay attention and respond to a series of moving tasks on a computer screen that were reckoned equivalent in difficulty to driving. One group was left undistracted while the other had to engage in a conversation about their hobbies using a speakerphone. As Dr Kunar and Dr Horowitz report in Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, those who were making the equivalent of a hands-free call had an average reaction time 212 milliseconds slower than those who were not. That, they calculate, would add 5.7 meters to the braking distance of a car traveling at 100kph. They found that the group using the hands-free kit made 83 percent more errors in their tasks than those who were not talking.

They also explored the effect of simply listening to something – such as a radio program. For this they played a recording of the first chapter of Bram Stoker?s “Dracula”. Even though the test subjects were told to pay attention because they would be asked questions about the story afterwards, it had little effect on their reaction times. Dr Kunar reckons that having to think about responses during a phone conversation competes for the brain?s resources in a way that listening to a monologue does not. The research led by Frank Drews of the University of Utah suggests the same thing is true of the idle chatter of a passenger.

Punishing people for using hand-held gadgets while driving is difficult enough, even though they can be seen from outside the car. Stopping people making hands-free calls would probably be impossible – especially because more and more vehicles are now being fitted with the necessary equipment as standard. Persuading people to switch their phones off altogether when they get behind the wheel might be the only answer. Who knows, they might even come to enjoy not having to take calls. And they?ll be likelier to arrive in one piece.

69. Which body part is most affected by talking into a cell phone when driving?

A. Hands.

B. Feet.

C. Eyes

D. The brain

70. In Kunar and Horowitz?s experiments, the subjects who performed tasks while talking ______.

71. According to Frank Drews, listening to a passenger talking _______.

A. affects drivers more than a phone conversation

B. affects drivers more than listening to a story

C. has less effect on the drivers than a phone conversation

D. has less effect on the drivers than listening to a story

C. will arouse heated debate

D. has been widely observed

Passage Five

In these times of fast media and ever-growing Internet, we are under so many external influences that it is anything but easy to think for ourselves. Unless you are a cunning, very aware person, you most likely don?t even know when your thinking is not your own.

Not that all outside influence is bad to forming your own views, but being unable to think for yourself can make you miserable at best, or a puppet of someone else?s programming, at worst.

Admittedly, we are all born into societies or cultures where the norms and customs are already established. We have little choice but to conform to what is already in place. This is not necessarily a bad thing. However, it can be confining and controlling if we accept everything blindly and never question the status quo.

Does this mean all of your ideas can be original and unlike everyone else?s? Not at all!

Nor does it require being contrary and argumentative just to be defiant or stand out. To think for yourself means that whatever opinions you hold will be well thought out and arise from thorough investigation and thoughtful analysis. It means choosing to not compromise the facts for the sake of consensus or fitting in. It is not unlike critical thinking – it just brings about a broader scope of choices and decision-making in your life.

For example, how many of us feel the need to keep up with …the latest?? We wear clothes, listen to music and follow trends that the media tells us we should in order to be cool. Marketing companies create ads that tempt us into a herd mentality as we fall into debt, wear fashions that are unbecoming, and get caught up in a cycle of over-spending and then stressing out over it. We are living lives designed for us by the powers without our conscious participation.

Another trap we fall into when we don?t think for ourselves is groupthink. Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that takes place within a group of people who try to avoid conflict and reach agreement without critically evaluating options or alternative ideas. The problem with groupthink is that it hinders finding the best solutions, impedes creative ideas and frustrates independent thinking. Wanting to be part of the crowd can certainly have its drawbacks!

75. It can be learned from the first paragraph that ________.

A. it is necessary to take one?s own interest into consideration

B. a clever person is always obedient and unselfish

C. independent thinking doesn?t come easily to us

D. the Internet has made humans more thoughtful

76. Trying to conform to established ideas ________.

A. is something you can easily avoid doing

B. is sometimes what we can?t help doing

C. can seldom do any good to you

D. rarely happens in modern society

77. The ability to think for yourself means that _______.

A. your ideas have to be novel and unique

B. you should never use critical thinking

C. you should try to be defiant and well-known

D. your opinions are based on facts and contemplation

78. Paragraph 6 is mainly concerned with ________.

A. what we must do to learn to think for ourselves

B. the prevalent outside influence on our lives

C. the numerous mistakes we make in daily life

D. the negative impact of TV commercials on us

79. From the last paragraph, it can be concluded that groupthink ________.

A. can lead to the loss of individual creativity

B. contributes little to group harmony and cohesion

C. cares about alternative or different ideas

D. encourages independent thinking eventually

80. The purpose in writing this passage is to ________.

A. define what is independent thinking

B. tell us how to develop original ideas

C. describe the consequence of groupthink

D. urges people to think for themselves

Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)

Directions:Put the following paragraph into Chinese. Write your Chinese version in the proper space on Answer Sheet II.

Section A (15 minutes, 10 points)

Excessive dependence on automobiles has profound negative impacts on human health: decreased opportunities for physical activity, increased exposure to air pollution, raised vulnerability to chronic diseases and the mounting incidence of traffic crashes that alone cost a staggering $180 billion. The determination of the magnitude of the health impact is notoriously so tricky as to end up with an astronomical figure probably. No calculation can be complete without formulating practical standards or models for estimating health costs. Costs associated with obesity, breathing illness, and injuries are evidenced by research. Growing recognition of the close connection between transportation, social cohesion and health has resulted in some studies that have achieved compelling findings.

Section A 英译汉：

过度依赖汽车对人类健康有着重大的负面影响：锻炼的机会越来越少、接触的空气污染越来越多、患慢性病的概率越来越大、交通事故的频率越来越高，仅此类事故一项造成的损失就高达1800亿美元，令人吃惊。众所周知，确定对健康影响的程度特别困难，结果很可能是个天文数字。只有制定了估算健康费用的标准和模型，计算才能是完整无缺的。与肥胖、呼吸系统疾病和受伤相关的费用可从科研中找到证据。人们越来越意识到交通、社会凝聚力和健康之间的关系密切，因此完成了一些科研项目，并取得了令人信服的科研成果。Section B汉译英：

In the 21st century, globalization and digitalization have turned the world into a global village. Culture will no longer develop in an isolated way, but instead co-exists amid interactions / mutual influence. The amount of contribution a nation makes (How much contribution that a nation can make) to human cultures increasingly depends on her ability to assimilate foreign culture and renew herself. China will continue to be committed to reform and opening-up and achieve economic prosperity and social progress in a harmonious way.

(完整版)复旦大学2015年考博英语试题回忆版整理

2015年考博单选：有少部分原题（出自曾建彬《研究生英语》《研究生高级英语》）阅读理解：第一篇：Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, most of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances, deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form. of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—that purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits? So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births—but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and the capacity of a man is to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form. of "college" imaginable. Among tribal people all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect every- body is equipped for life. It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to regain. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterates"—if the term can be applied to peoples without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries. Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry, which, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents' and therefore the jungles and the savannahs know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child.

考博英语(阅读理解)-试卷80.doc

考博英语（阅读理解）-试卷80 (总分：40.00，做题时间：90分钟) 一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：4，分数：40.00) Too much alcohol dulls your senses, but a study in Japan shows that moderate drinkers have a higher IQ than teetotalers. Researchers at the National Institute for Longevity Sciences in Aichi Prefecture, 250 kilometers west of Tokyo, tested the IQs of 2000 people between the ages of 40 and 79. They found that, on average, men who drank moderately — defined as less than 540 milliliters of sake or wine a day — had an IQ that was 3. 3 points higher that men who did not drink at all. Women drinkers scored 2. 5 points higher than female teetotalers. The type of alcohol didn't influence the results. The volunteers tried a variety of tipples, which ranged from beer and whisky to wine and sake. The researchers are quick to point out that the results do not necessarily show that drinking will make you more intelligent. "It's very difficult to show a cause-effect relationship," says senior researcher Hiroshi Shimokata. "We screened subjects for factors such as income and education, but there may be other factors such as lifestyle and nutritional intake. " Shimokata says that people who drink sake, or Japanese rice wine, tend to eat more raw fish. This could be a factor in enhanced intelligence, as fish often contain essential fatty acids that have been linked to brain development. Similarly, wine drinkers eat a lot of cheese, which is not something Japanese people normally consume or buy. Shimokata says the high fat content of cheese is thought to be good for the brain. If alcoholic drinks are directly influencing IQ, Shimokata believes chemicals such as polyphenols could be the critical factor. They are known to have antioxidant properties and other beneficial effects on ageing bodies, such as dilating constricted coronary arteries. The study is part of a wider research project to find out why brain function deteriorates with age.（分数：10.00） (1).The Japanese study was carried out on______.（分数：2.00） A.the development of IQ B.the secret of longevity C.the brain food in a glass D.the amount of healthy drinking (2).The Japanese researchers found a higher IQ in______.（分数：2.00） A.female teetotalers than in male ones B.female drinkers than in male ones C.moderate drinkers D.teetotalers (3).When he says that it is very difficult to show cause-effect relationship, Shimokata means that______.（分数：2.00） A.the study failed to involve such variables as income and education B.he is doubtful of the findings of the investigation C.there are some other contributing factors D.the results were just misleading (4).From Shimokata's mention of fish and cheese we can infer that in enhancing intelligence______.（分数：2.00） A.sake or wine is a perfect match for fish and cheese B.they promote the drinking effect of sake or wine C.they are not as effective as sake and wine D.sake or wine is not alone (5).Based on the study, Shimokata would say that______.（分数：2.00） A.intelligence improves with age

But those programs －though some remain popular －increasingly occupy fringe times slots on foreign networks. Instead, a growing number of shows produced by local broadcasters are on the air at the best times. The shift counters longstanding assumptions that TV shows produced in the United States would continue to overshadow locally produced shows from Singapore to Sicily. The changes are coming at a time when the influence of the United States on international affairs has annoyed friends and foes alike, and some people are expressing relief that at least on television American culture is no longer quite the force it once was. “There has always been a concern that the image of the world would be shaped too much by American culture,” said Dr. Jo Groebek, director general of the European Institu te for the Media, a non-profit group. Given the choice, he adds, foreign viewers often prefer homegrown shows that better reflect local tastes, cultures and historical events. Unlike in the United States, commercial broadcasting in most regions of the world －including Asia, Europe, and a lesser extent Latin America, which has a long history of commercial TV －is a relatively recent development. A majority of broadcasters in many countries were either state-owned or state-subsidized for much of the last century. Governments began to relax their control in the 1980’s by privatizing national broadcasters and granting licenses to dozens of new commercial networks. The rise of cable and satellite pay-television increased the spectrum of channels. Relatively inexperienced and often financed on a shoestring, these new commercial stations needed hours of programming fast. The cheapest and easiest way to fill airtime was to buy shows from American studios, and the bidding wars for popular shows were fierce. The big American studios took advantage of that demand by raising prices and forcing foreign broadcasters to buy less popular programs if they wanted access to the best-selling shows and movies. “The studio priced themselves out of prime time,” said Harry Evans Sloan, chairman of SBS Broadcasting, a Pan-European broadcaster. Mr. Sloan estimates that over the last decade, the price of American programs has increased fivefold even as the international ratings for these shows have declined. American broadcasters are still the biggest buyers of American-made television shows, accounting for 90% of the $25 billion in 2001 sales. But international sales which totaled $2.5 billion last year often make the difference between a profit and a loss on show. As the pace of foreign sales slows －the market is now growing at 5% a year, down from the double-digit growth of the 1990’s －studio executives are rethinking production costs. 6. Which of the following best characterizes the image embodied in American shows? A. Self-contradictory B. Prejudice-free C. Culture-loaded D. Audience-targeted 7. The intervention of governments in the 1980’s resulted in __________ . A. the patenting of domination shows and movies B. the emergence of new commercial networks C. the promotion of cable and satellite pay-television D. the intense competition coming from the outside 8. The phrase “on a shoestring” (Para. 6) most probably means __________. A. in need of capital B. after a fashion C. on second thoughts D. in the interests of themselves 9. The main reason why American dramas and sitcoms are driven out of prime time is that ____. A. they lose competitiveness B. they are not market-oriented C. they are too much priced D. they fall short of audience expectations 10. American studio producers will give thought to production costs __________. A. if they have no access to popular shows B. because their endeavors come to no avail C. since bidding wars are no longer fierce D. as international sales pace slows down Passage Three How shops can exploit people's herd mentality to increase sales 1. A TRIP to the supermarket may not seem like an exercise in psychological warfare—but it is. Shopkeepers know that filling a store with the aroma of freshly baked bread makes people feel hungry and persuades them to buy more food than they had intended. Stocking the most expensive products at eye level makes them sell faster than cheaper but less visible competitors. Now researchers are investigating how “swarm intelligence” (th at is，how ants，bees or any social animal，including humans，behave in a crowd) can be used to influence what people buy. 2. At a recent conference on the simulation of adaptive behaviour in Rome，Zeeshan-ul-hassan Usmani，a computer scientist from the Florida Institute of Technology，described a new way to increase impulse buying using this phenomenon. Supermarkets already encourage shoppers to buy things they did not realise they wanted: for instance，by placing everyday items such as milk and eggs at the back of the store，forcing shoppers to walk past other tempting goods to reach them. Mr Usmani and Ronaldo Menezes，also of the Florida Institute of Technology, set out to enhance this tendency to buy more by playing on the herd instinct. The idea is that, if a certain product is seen to be popular, shoppers are likely to choose it too. The challenge is to keep customers informed about what others are buying. 3. Enter smart-cart technology. In Mr Usmani's supermarket every product has a radio frequency identification tag, a sort of barcode that uses radio waves to transmit information，and every trolley has a scanner that reads this information and relays it to a central computer. As a customer walks past a shelf of goods, a screen on the shelf tells him how many people currently in the shop have chosen that particular product. If the number is high, he is more likely to select it too.
