Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 25 points)
Section A
Directions: In this section，there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers A，B．C and D．Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet．
Passage One
You may have wondered why the supermarkets are all the same. It is not because the companies that run them lack imagination. It is because they all aim at persuading people to buy things.
In the supermarket, it takes a while for the mind to get into a shopping mode. This is why the area immediately inside the entrance is known as the “decompression zone”. People need to slow down and look around, even if they are regulars. In sales terms this area is a bit of a loss, so it tends to be used more for promotion.
Immediately inside the first thing shoppers may come to is the fresh fruit and vegetables section. For shoppers, this makes no sense. Fruit and Vegetables can be easily damaged, so they should be bought at the end, not the beginning, of a shopping trip. But what is at work here? It turns out that selecting good fresh food is a way to start shopping, and it makes people feel less guilty about reaching for the unhealthy stuff later on.
Shoppers already know that everyday items, like milk, are invariably placed toward the back of a store to provide more opportunities to tempt customers. But supermarkets know shoppers know this, so they use other tricks, like placing popular items halfway along a section so that people have to walk all along the aisle looking for them. The idea is to boost “dwell time”: the length of time people spend in a store.
Traditionally retailers measure “footfall”, as the number of people entering a store is known, but those numbers say nothing about where people go and how long they spend there. But nowadays, a piece of technology can fill the gap: the mobile phone. Path Intelligence, a British company tracked people’s phones at Gunwharf Quays, a large retail centre in Portsmouth- not by monitoring calls, but by plotting the positions of handsets as they transmit automatically to cellular networks. It found that when dwell time rose 1% sales rose 1.3%.
Such techniques are increasingly popular because of a deepening understanding about how shoppers make choices. People tell market researchers that they make rational decisions about what to buy, considering things like price, selection or convenience. But subconscious forces, involving emotion and memories, are clearly also at work.
21. In Paragraph 2, “decompression zone” is the area meant to _____.
A. offer shoppers a place to have a rest
B. prepare shoppers for the mood of buying
C. encourage shoppers to try new products
D. provide shoppers with discount information
22. Putting fruit-and-vegetable section near the entrance takes advantage of shoppers’_____

23. Path Intelligence uses a technology to _____.
A. count how many people enter a store
B. measure how long people stay at a store
C. find out what people buy in a store
D. monitor what people say and do in a store
24. What happened at Gunwharf Quays showed that sales_____.
A. was in direct proportion to dwell time
B. was reversely linked to dwell time
C. was affected more by footfall than by dwell time
D. was affected more by dwell time than by football

A. exert more influence on stores than they imagine
B. are more likely to make rational choices than they know
C. tend to make more emotional decisions than they think
D. have more control over what they buy than they assume

BDBACD
Passage Two
A very important world problem is the increasing number of people who actually inhabit this planet. The limited amount of land and land resources will soon be unable to support the huge population if it continues to grow at its present rate.
So why is this huge increase in population taking place? It is really due to the spread of the knowledge and practice of what is becoming known as “Death Control”. You hav e no doubt heard of the term “Birth Control”. “Death Control” is something rather difficult. It recognizes the work of the doctors and scientists who now keep alive people who, not very long ago, would have died of a variety of then incurable diseases. Through a wide variety of technological innovations that include farming methods and the control of deadly diseases, we have found ways to reduce the rate at which we die. However, this success is the very cause of the greatest threat to mankind.
If we examine the amount of land available for this ever-increasing population, we begin to see the problem. If everyone on the planet had an equal share of land, we would each have about 50,000 square metres. This figure seems to be quite encouraging until we examine the amount of usable land we actually have. More than three-fifths of the world’s land cannot produce food.
Obviously, with so little land to support us, we should be taking great care not to reduce it further. But we are not! Instead, we are consuming i ts “capital”- its nonrenewable fossil fuels and other mineral deposits that took millions of years to form but which are now being destroyed in decades. We are also doing the same with other vital resources not usually thought of as being nonrenewable such as fertile soils, groundwater and the millions of other species that share the earth with us.
It is a very common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction. This is not true. The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they have on nature. Developing countries do have an effect on their environment, but it is the populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole.
27. According to the article, what contributes to the population increase?
A. Birth explosion.
B. Birth Control
C. Death Control.
D. Technological innovations.
28. The word “incurable” in Paragraph 2 means _____.
A. common
B. epidemic
C. untreatable
D. unknown
29. There isn’t enough land to support human beings because_____.
A. there are more seas than land in the world
B. most of the world’s land is unusable
C. the world’s land has already been taken up
D. t he world’s land is not distributed equally
30. In Paragraph 4 the writer implies that fertile soils are _____.
A. limited
B. renewable
C. productive
D. nonrenewable
31. What does “to limit their reproduction” is the last paragraph mean?
A. To control death.
B. To produce less goods.
C. To increase production.
D. To practice birth control.
32. What do you think the writer is really concerned about?
A. Long life spans.
B. Population increase.
C. Overuse of resources.
D. The success of “Death Control”.

Passage Three
Drinking wastewater? The idea may sound distasteful, but new federally funded research says more Americans are doing so-whether they know or not-and this reuse will be increasingly necessary as the U.S. population expands.
Treated wastewater poses no greater health risks than existing water supplies and, in some cases, may be even safer to drink, according to a report released by the National Research Council, "We believe water reuse is an option to deal with growing water scarcity, especially in coastal areas," says Jorg Drowes, an engineering professor at the Colorado School of Mines. "This can be done reliably without putting the public at risk," he says, citing technological advances. He says it's a waste not to reuse the nation's wastewater, because almost all of it is treated before discharge. This water includes storm runoff ( 径流) as well as used water from homes, businesses and factories.
In many places, the report says, the public does not realize it's drinking water that was treated after being discharged as wastewater somewhere upstream. For example, wastewater discharged into the Trinity River from Dallas/Fort Worth flows south into Lake Livingston, the source for Houston's drinking water.
Despite the growing importance of this reuse, the report says there's been no systemic analysis of its extent nationwide since a 1980 study by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Alan Roberson of the American Water Works Association says wastewater reuse is common, so the council's report is important but not surprising. Roberson expects this recycling will continue to increase, especially for irrigation and industrial needs. He says it will take longer to establish potable (适于饮用的）uses because of public nervousness about drinking wastewater, however treated.
"We have to do something to address water scarcity," says Olga Naidenko, a senior scientist at the non-profit Environmental Working Group. "Less than 10% of potable water is used for drinking, cooking, showering or dishwashing. We flush it down the toilet, literally." Technologies exist to safely treat the water, she says, although some are expensive.
The report says water reuse projects tend to cost more than most water conservation options but less than seawater desalination (脱盐)and other supply alternatives. It calls on the EPA to develop rules that set safe national standards.
33. As can be learned from Paragraph 1, drinking wastewater ________
A. is to become a growing necessity
B. is well received by the Americans
C. has caused heated public debates
D. has become the dominant option
34. Which of the following statements would Jorg Drewes agree to?
A. Water reuse may eventually put the public at risk.
B. Water reuse is preferable to wasting water.
C. Water reuse is far from a solution to water shortage.
D. Water reuse is possible only after greater tech advances.
35. Lake Livingston is mentioned to show that the public________
A. Accepts the fact of drinking wastewater calmly
B. Is concerned about the safety of the drinking water
C. Does not believe that wastewater is safe to drink
D. Is not aware of the nature of their drinking water
36. According to Alan Roberson,_______
A. it is not safe to drink wastewater
B. the report has surprised the public
C. the report helps build up public confidence
D. the public has yet to accept drinking wastewater
37. Olga Naidenko's remarks emphasize________
A. The recent progress
B. The existing problems
C. The new perspective
D. The potential risks

Passage Four
Acting is such an over-crowded profession that the only advice that should be given to a young person thinking of going on the stage is "Don't!” But it is useless to try to discourage someone who feels that he must act, though the chances of his becoming famous are slim.
The normal way to begin is to go to a drama school. Usually only students who show promise and talent are accepted, and the course lasts two years. Then the young actor or actress takes up work with a repertory company, usually as an assistant stage manager. This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre: painting scenery, looking after the furniture, taking care of the costumes, and even acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed. The hours are long and the salary is tiny. But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy, waiting for the chances of working with a better company, or perhaps in films or television.
Of course, some people have unusual chances which lead to fame and success without this long and dull training. Connie Pratt, for example, was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factory. A film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop, as he drove past in his big car. He told the driver to stop, and he got out to speak to the girl. He asked her if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test, and at first she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to tell Connie that he was serious. Then an appointment was made for her to go to the studio the next day. The test was successful. They gave her some necessary lessons and within a few weeks she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day. Of Course, she was given a more dramatic name, which is now world-famous. But chances like this happen once in a blue moon!
38. According to the passage, the main reason why young people should be discouraged from becoming actors is ______.
A) actors are very unusual people
B) the course at the drama school lasts two years
C) acting is really a hard job
D) there are already too many actors
39. According to the context, the sentence "But young actors with the stage in their blood are happy" at the end of the first paragraph means ______.
A) they don't care if their job is hard
B) they like the stage naturally
C) they are born happy
D) they are easily satisfied
40. Conie Pratt soon became a famous actress after ______.
A) learning some lessons about the art of speaking
B) playing her part in the "Blue Colored Moon"
C) successfully matching the most famous actors
D) acting a leading part with a most famous actor at that time
41. The phrase "once in a blue moon" in last line refers to ______.
A) all at once
B) once for a long time
C) once in a while
D) once and for all

Section B
Directions：In this section，you are required to read four pieces of news and decide which of the four titles marked A，B，C and D is best suited to each of them．Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet．
A．Lenovo Beefs Up in Brazil With an Electronics Deal
B．How to Attract Protesters to Your Wedding
C．China Banks Cut Foreign Deposit Rates
D．Yoga PC Flips and Bends, but as a Tablet, It's Clumsy
(42)______Social-media users raced to compile details about the bride’s identity with crowdsourced knowledge based on photos found online, including images of her friends and fiancé. By Tuesday, nearly 1,000 people said they were planning to attend a wedding-day protest, organized via Facebook, at the hotel where she’s getting married. The hotel confirmed that the woman in question has booked a wedding there, and said that they were prepared to make sure the event would still go on smoothly. “She’s our guest, and with all our guests we honor contractually what we’ve agreed to,” the hotel’s spokesman said. “On that day we’ll probably be extra vigilant, but I don’t think we’ll be differing much from normal procedure.” Attempts to reach the bride for comment were not successful.
The frenzy has led some in local media to raise concerns about cyberbullying. “Even if the bride-to-be’s statements weren’t proper, it doesn’t mean that netizens can con tinue to do a human flesh search indefinitely. From a moral and legal standpoint, she hasn’t committed a crime,” ran one commentary published by the Hong Kong Commercial Daily.
(43)_____SHANGHAI—Some of China's major state-run banks recently lowered the interest rate
they will pay on foreign-currency deposits, a move seen as tracking earlier cuts in domestic interest rates but also one aimed at alleviating pressure on the yuan.
The outlook for the once-robust Chinese currency has deteriorated sharply in recent months as the world's second-largest economy slows and speculative capital leaves the country.
At the same time, Chinese exporters have been holding onto U.S. dollars instead of converting them into yuan, which has flooded banks with dollar deposits and driven down the currency's local borrowing costs substantially.
(44)_____Windows 8 presents a dilemma for PC makers. It contains two very different user interfaces: a touch-oriented, tablet-like one with clusters of tiles, full-screen apps and an on-screen keyboard; plus the traditional Windows desktop and apps, which are best used with a mouse or a touch pad and physical keyboard. So the hardware companies are trying to create laptops that work well with both environments.
This week, I've been testing one of the most creative and best-known of these new laptops, the $1,000 IdeaPad Yoga 13 from Lenovo. It takes its name from the fact that, like a yoga practitioner, it can contort itself into multiple positions, some of them unusual, using a sturdy but flexible hinge.
(45)______S?O PAULO—Chinese personal computer vendor Lenovo Group Ltd. said Wednesday that it had reached an agreement to buy CCE, a group of three Brazilian consumer-electronics makers, for 300 million Brazilian reais ($147 million) in cash and stock.
The deal, through which Lenovo will fully acquire Digibrás Indústria do Brasil SA, Digiboard Eletr?nica da Amaz?nia LTDA and Dual Mix Comércio de Eletr?nicos LTDA from Digibrás Participa??es, will beef up Lenovo's presence in Brazil, where CCE makes personal computers, phones and TVs at its seven factories across Latin America's largest country.

2015考研英语阅读理解精读P18—医学 Passage 18(Doctor-assisted Suicide：Is It Ever an Option?) Should doctor-assisted suicide ever be a legal option? It involves the extreme measure of taking the life of a terminally ill patient when the patient is in extreme pain and the chances for recovery appear to be none.Those who argue against assisted suicide do so by considering the roles of the patient，the doctor，and nature in these situations. Should the patient take an active role in assisted suicide? When a patient is terminally ill and in great pain，those who oppose assisted suicide say that it should not be up to that patient to decide what his or her fate will be.There are greater powers at work that determine when a person dies，for example，nature.Neither science nor personal preference should take precedence over these larger forces. What role should the doctor have? Doctors，when taking the Hippocratic oath，swear to preserve life at all costs，and it is their ethical and legal duty to follow both the spirit and the letter of this oath.It is their responsibilities to heal the sick，and in the cases when healing is not possible，then the doctor is obliged to make the dying person comfortable.Doctors are trained never to hasten death.Those who oppose assisted suicide believe that doctors who do help terminally ill patients die are committing a crime，and they should be dealt with accordingly.Doctors are also，by virtue of their humanness，capable of making mistakes.Doctors could quite possibly say，for instance，that a cancer patient was terminal，and then the illness could later turn out not to be so serious.There is always an element of doubt concerning the future outcome of human affairs. The third perspective to consider when thinking about assisted suicide is the role of nature.Life is precious.Many people believe that it is not up to human beings to decide when to end their own or another’s life.Only nature determines when it is the right time for a person to die.To assist someone in suicide is not only to break criminal laws，but to break divine 1aws as well. These general concerns of those who oppose assisted suicide are valid in certain contexts of the assisted suicide question.For instance，patients cannot always be certain of their medical conditions.Pain clouds judgment，and so the patient should not be the sole arbiter of her or his own destiny.Patients do not usually choose the course of their medical treatment，so they shouldn’t be held completely responsible for decisions related to it.Doctors are also fallible，and it is understandable that they would not want to make the final decision about when death should occur.Since doctors are trained to prolong life，they usually do not elect to take it by prescribing assisted suicide. I believe that blindly opposing assisted suicide does no one a service.If someone is dying of

考研英语阅读理解模拟试题及答案(三) Passage 11 Dream is a story that a personwatchesor even takes part in during sleep. Dream events are imaginary, but they are related to real experiences and needs in the dreamer's life. They seem real while they are taking place. Some dreams are pleasant, others are annoying, and still others are frightening. Everyone dreams, but some persons never recall dreaming. Others remember only a little about a dream they had just before awakening and nothing about earlier dreams. No one recalls all his dreams. Dreams involve little logical thought. In most dreams, the dreamer cannot control what happens to him. The story may be confusing, and things happen that would not happen in real life. People see in most dreams, but they may also hear, smell, touch, and taste in their dreams. Most dreams occur in color. but persons who have been blind since birth do not see at all in dreams. Dreams are a product of the sleeper's mind. They
The payroll register constitutes the treasurer department's authority to pay the employees. Payment is usually made in the form of a check drawn on the company's regular bank account. Pre-numbered payroll checks should be used, and there should be independent verification of the agreement of the checks with the payroll register in detail and in total. Payroll checks should be distributed directly to employees, on proper identification, by treasurer's department personnel. The checks should not be returned to payroll for distribution since the payroll department would then have control over both preparing and paying the payroll. Alternatively, payroll checks may be deposited directly in the employee's checking account. Payment of employees in cash is the exception rather than the rule. This form of payment is more easily influenced by errors, irregularities, and robbery than payment by check. Following payment, check numbers are entered on the register, the preparation and payment of the payroll are programmed on a computer. A termination notice should be issued by the personnel department on the completion of an individual's employment with the company. Copies of the termination authorization should be sent to the employee's supervisor and to payroll, and a copy should be filed in the employee's personnel record. The proper execution of this function is vital in preventing terminated employees from continuing on the payroll. The subsequent diversion of such payroll checks to an unauthorized individual has been responsible for many payroll cheat through the years. Every company is expected to fulfill the legal requirements relevant to the filing of payroll tax returns and the payment of the resulting taxes. Ordinarily, the payroll department prepares the tax returns and a check is issued through the guarantor system in payment of the taxes. The responsibility for the filing of returns before due dates should be assigned to a payroll department supervisor. Furthermore, there should be independent verification within that department of the accuracy and completeness of the return. Effective control over tax returns is necessary to avoid penalties for late or incorrect filings.
考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类
考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类 unit1 unit1 Some of the concerns surrounding Turkey’s application to join the European Union, to be voted on by the EU’s Council of Ministers on December 17th, are economic-in particular, the country’s relative poverty. Its GDP per head is less than a third of the average for the 15 pre-2004 members of the EU. But it is not far off that of one of the ten new members which joined on May 1st 2004 (Latvia), and it is much the same as those of two countries, Bulgaria and Romania, which this week concluded accession talks with the EU that could make them full members on January 1st 2007. Furthermore, the country’s recent economic progress has been, according to Donald Johnston, the secretary-general of the OECD, "stunning". GDP in the second quarter of the year was 13.4% higher than a year earlier, a rate of growth that no EU country comes close to matching. Turkey’s inflation rate has just fallen into single figures for the first time since 1972, and this week the country reached agreement with the IMF on a new three-year, $10 billion economic programme that will, according to the IMF’s managing director, Rodrigo Rato, "help Turkey... reduce inflation toward European levels, and enhance the economy’s resilience". Resilienc e has not historically been the country’s economic strong point. As recently as 2001, GDP fell by over 7%. It fell by more than 5% in 1994, and by

同等学力阅读理解模拟测试题 Part III Reading Comprehension (45 minutes, 25 points) Section A Directions: In this section，there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements，each with four suggested answers A，B．C and D．Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet． Passage One You may have wondered why the supermarkets are all the same. It is not because the companies that run them lack imagination. It is because they all aim at persuading people to buy things. In the supermarket, it takes a while for the mind to get into a shopping mode. This is why the area immediately inside the entrance is known as the “decompression zone”. People need to slow down and look around, even if they are regulars. In sales terms this area is a bit of a loss, so it tends to be used more for promotion. Immediately inside the first thing shoppers may come to is the fresh fruit and vegetables section. For shoppers, this makes no sense. Fruit and Vegetables can be easily damaged, so they should be bought at the end, not the beginning, of a shopping trip. But what is at work here? It turns out that selecting good fresh food is a way to start shopping, and it makes people feel less guilty about reaching for the unhealthy stuff later on. Shoppers already know that everyday items, like milk, are invariably placed toward the back of a store to provide more opportunities to tempt customers. But supermarkets know shoppers know this, so they use other tricks, like placing popular items halfway along a section so that people have to walk all along the aisle looking for them. The idea is to boost “dwell time”: the length of time people spend in a store. Traditionally retailers measure “footfall”, as the number of people entering a store is known, but those numbers say nothing about where people go and how long they spend there. But nowadays, a piece of technology can fill the gap: the mobile phone. Path Intelligence, a British company tracked people’s phones at Gunwharf Quays, a large retail centre in Portsmouth- not by monitoring calls, but by plotting the positions of handsets as they transmit automatically to cellular networks. It found that when dwell time rose 1% sales rose 1.3%. Such techniques are increasingly popular because of a deepening understanding about how shoppers make choices. People tell market researchers that they make rational decisions about what to buy, considering things like price, selection or convenience. But subconscious forces, involving emotion and memories, are clearly also at work. 21. In Paragraph 2, “decompression zone” is the area meant to _____. A. offer shoppers a place to have a rest B. prepare shoppers for the mood of buying C. encourage shoppers to try new products D. provide shoppers with discount information 22. Putting fruit-and-vegetable section near the entrance takes advantage of shoppers’_____
TEXT 2 He emerged, all of a sudden, in 1957: the most explosive new poetic talent of the English post-war era. Poetry specialised, at that moment, in the wry chronicling of the everyday. The poetry of Yorkshire-born Ted Hughes, first published in a book called “The Hawk in the Rain” when he was 27, was unlike anything written by his immediate predecessors. Driven by an almost Jacobean rhetoric, it had a visionary fervour. Its most eye-catching characteristic was Hughes's ability to get beneath the skins of animals: foxes, otters, pigs. These animals were the real thing all right, but they were also armorial devices—symbols of the countryside and lifeblood of the earth in which they were rooted. It gave his work a raw, primal stink. It was not only England that thought so either. Hughes's book was also published in America, where it won the Galbraith prize, a major literary award. But then, in 1963, Sylvia Plath, a young American poet whom he had first met at Cambridge University in 1956, and who became his wife in the summer of that year, committed suicide. Hughes was vilified for long after that, especially by feminists in America. In 1998, the year he died, Hughes broke his own self-imposed public silence about their relationship in a book of loose-weave poe ms called “Birthday Letters”.In this new and exhilarating collection of real letters, Hughes returns to the issue of his first wife's death, which he calls his “big and unmanageable event”. He felt his talent muffled by the perpetual eavesdropping upon his every move. Not until he decided to publish his own account of their relationship did the burden begin to lighten. The analysis is raw, pained and ruthlessly self-aware. For all the moral torment, the writing itself has the same rush and vigour that possessed Hughes's early poetry.
