Passage 1
Strip cartoons in newspapers are immensely popular. Some people only buy certain newspapers in ｏrder to follow the adventures of their favorite cartoon characters. Generally speaking，strip cartoons are neither subtle nor unkind. Their appeal rests largely on the fact that ｏrdinary people can identify with them—the …little man? in the office，the ups ａnd downs of suburban married life，the domineering behavior of neighbors, children, relations ａnd household pets，to say nothing of cars，washing machines，vacuum cleaners ａnd similar contraptions（奇妙的装置）which frequently seem to have a will of their own.
Weary commuters battling with public transport，harassed housewives underpaid secretaries ａnd clerks—har dworking people who don?t live glamorous ａnd exciting lives—can laugh at themselves in these cartoons. Sometimes a strip cartoon represents a world of pure fantasy in which Superman ｏr Woman always emerges triumphant in spite of the most hair-raising adven tures. We know we aren?t really like that，but it?s fun to think we could be if we had the chance.
Political cartoons are essentially topical ａnd pull no punches. Their wit mirrors the absurdities，prejudices ａnd blunders in law ａnd ｏrder ａnd current affairs. The physical characteristics of prominent men ａnd women in Government ｏr State are mercilessly caricatured（讽刺）. Since the English，with the inborn independence of an island race，have a healthy contempt for bureaucracy ａnd are cheerfully critical of whatever government happens to be in office, political cartoons provide an endless source of amusement. After all, as a famous politician is reported to have said，“…politics are too serious a matter to be left to politicians.”
1. Strip cartoons generally ________.
A) represent people we know personally
B) are a means of identification
C) are not intended to be offensive
D) bear little relation to ｏrdinary life
2. In the opinion of the writer some household appliances .
A) behave as if they were human
B) are always falling to pieces
C) are fitted with on controls
D) are not designed to work efficiently
3. Cartoons of office ｏr domestic life have a particular appeal for people who
.
A) have plenty of self-confidence
B) like to indulge their fantasies
C) have routine jobs
D) envy their superiors
4. Political cartoonists are not afraid to .
A) misrepresent public opinion
B) ridicule government policy
C) offend public opinion
D) break the law
5. Whatever form of government is elected the general public will invariably
it.
A) ignore B) reject C) laugh at D) find fault with
Passage 2
Some economists have suggested that the U.S. distribution of income is somehow naturally more unequal than that of other countries. After all，the U.S. is geographically ａnd racially more diverse than Europe. Nevertheless, it is noted that even the highest-income regions of the U.S. have significantly higher rates of poverty than all but the poorest nations of Europe. Romania ｏr Bulgaria might have similar percentages of poverty, but theirs is hardly a standard fｏr the wｏrld?s richest nation to aspire to.
Even if blacks，the racial group with the highest poverty level，are eliminated ｆrom the calculations，the U.S. still has twice the European rate of poverty. ａnd American poｏr wｏrk just as much as the poｏr of European nations, if not mｏre. Mｏre single mothers in the U.S.，fｏr example，have jobs than in Great Britain （although fewer than is Sweden，where liberal childcare allowances make it easier to combine family ａnd employment）
If the exodus（退出）from the bottom of the middle class can be traced to a lack of government suppｏrt fｏr the wｏrking poｏr，that still leaves departures at the top to be explained. Although income ｆrom two careers is pushing an increasing number of households over the threshold to the upper class，higher salaries earned by men account fｏr the bulk of upward mobility. In addition，many are moving up simply because the salary of the top 10 percent of wage earners is now at least 3.8 time that of the bottom 20 percent，as compared with 2.6 only 25 years ago.
Will the middle class eventually become a minｏrity in the U.S.？Current numbers suggest there is no danger of that befｏre the turn of the century at least. Nevertheless, the trend seems ominous（不祥的）. As long as the wｏrk fｏrce is increasingly segregated into professionalized，high paying jobs ａnd less skilled，low-paying ones，the middle will be threatened.
6. The highest-income regions of the U.S. have higher rates of poverty than .
A) Romania ａnd Bulgaria
B) the poｏrest nations of Europe
C) all European nations
D) all except the poｏrest European nations
7. The U.S. distribution of income is mｏre unequal than that of European countries
because .
A) the U.S. has twice the European rate of poverty
B) the U.S. is one of the wｏrld?s richest nations
C) Europe is geographically ａnd racially less diverse than the U.S.
D) there is a lack of government suppｏrt fｏr the wｏrking poｏr in U.S.
8. By saying “the salary of the top 10 percent o f wage earners is now at least 3.8 times
that of the bottom 20 percent，as compared with 2.6 only 25 years ago,” the auth ｏr means .
A) the gulf between top earners ａnd bottom wage earners has considerably
widened in 25 years
B) mｏre people are neither rich nｏr poｏr now
C) the number of the top 10 percent of wage earners has increased
D) the salary of the 10 percent of wage earners has increased greatly
9. ｆrom the passage，it can be concluded that .
A) the middle class will eventually become a minｏrity in the U.S.
B) most of the middle class people will mｏre into the upper class befｏre the
end of this century
C) if the gap between the rich ａnd poｏr further widens，the propｏrtion of the
middle class population will decrease
D) professionalized，high-paying jobs will comprise the bulk of the wｏrk fｏrce in the U.S.
10. “Two careers” in Para. 3 refers to.
A) the middle ａnd upper classes B) high-paying ａnd low-paying jobs
C) husband?s ａnd wife?s jobs D) the top ａnd the bottom wage earners What is the significance of the Refｏrmation (Unit 8, text 1, Book IV)?
II. Put the following into Chinese:
1. Successful implementation of the key concepts of “refｏrm ａnd opening up” ａnd “ economics as the central task” over the past 30 days through an internal policy o f change ａnd capacity building, enabled China to develop into an economic powerhouse.
2. The suggestion that further negotiations are to take place to produce an “acceptable” repｏrt suggests that the politics of coalition government are doing the country disservice. Given the sensitivities involved, all the infｏrmation should be available so that people can reach their own conclusions, rather than being left with suspicion that fact are being replaced by political ideology.

2015考研英语阅读真题：考研英语（一）第2篇Just how much does the Constitution protect your digital data? The Supreme Court will now consider whether police can search the contents of a mobile phone without a warrant if the phone is on or around a person during an arrest. California has asked the justices to refrain from a sweeping ruling, particularly one that upsets the old assumptions that authorities may search through the possessions of suspects at the time of their arrest. It is hard, the state argues, for judges to assess the implications of new and rapidly changing technologies. The court would be recklessly modest if it followed California’s advice. Enough of the implications are discernable, even obvious, so that the justice can and should provide updated guidelines to police, lawyers and defendants. They should start by discarding California’s lame argument that exploring the contents of a smart phone —a vast storehouse of digital information is similar to say, going through a suspect’s pur se. The court has ruled that police don’t violate the Fourth Amendment when they go through the wallet or pocket book, of an arrestee without a warrant. But exploring one’s smart phone is more like entering his or her home.

2015年考研英语二阅读理解真题及答案（阅读理解） Section Ⅱ Reading Comprehension Part A Directions： Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A， B， C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points） Text 1 A new study suggests that contrary to most surveys. People art actually more stressed at home than at work. Researchers measured people's cortisol ， which is it at stress marker， while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge. “Further contradicting conventional wisdom， we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home，” writes one of the researchers. Sarah Damaske， In fact women say they feel better at work. She notes. “it is men not women. Who report being happier at home than at work，” Another surprise is that the findings hold true for both those with children without， but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health. What the study doesn't measure is whether people are still doing work when they' re at home， whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men， the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home，they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home， they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the blurring of roles， and the fact that the home front lags well behind the workplace in making adjustments for working women， it' s not surprising that women are more stressed at home. But it's not just a gender thing. At work， people pretty much know what they're supposed to be doing： working， making money， doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure： Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola. On the home front， however， people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done， there are inadequate rewards for most of them. Your home colleagues-your family-have no clear rewards for their labor； they need to be talked into it， or if they' re teenagers， threatened with complete removal of 新祥旭官网https://www.doczj.com/doc/767485036.html,/
Lesson 1 II. Translation Put the following passages into Chinese. 1. For English is a killer. It is English that has killed off Cumbric, Cornish, Norn and Manx. There are still parts of these islands where sizeable communities speak languages that were there before English. Yet English is everywhere in everyday use and understood by all or virtually all, constituting such a threat to the three remaining Celtic languages, Irish, Scottish Gaelic, and Welsh... that their long-term future must be considered... very greatly at risk. 因为英语是个杀手。正是英语造成了凯尔特语、康沃尔语、诺恩语和马恩语等语言的消亡。这些岛上的分地区依然还有很多社区的人使用在英语到来之前就已存在的语言。然而，英语在日常生活中无处不在。所有的人或几乎所有的人都懂英语。英语对仅存的三种凯尔特语——爱尔兰语、苏格兰盖尔语及威尔士语的威胁是如此之大，人们一定认为它们遥远的未来是岌岌可危的。 2. He also associated such policies with a prejudice which he calls linguisticism (a condition parallel to racism and sexism). As Phillipson sees it, leading institutions and individuals within the predominantly "white" English-speaking world, have (by design or default) encouraged or at least tolerated—and certainly have not opposed—the hegemonic spread of English, a spread which began some three centuries ago as economic and colonial expansion. 同时，他认为这些政策和他称之为语言歧视（与种族歧视、性别歧视等类似）的偏见密切相关。在菲利普森看来，在以白人英语为主导的世界里，主要的机构和个人（有意或无意地）鼓励或者至少是容忍了（肯定没有反对）英语霸权主义式的传播，这种传播始于三个世纪之前的经济及殖民扩张。 3.By and large, we now view them as more or less benign, and often talk with admiration and appreciation about the cultures associated with them and what they have given to the world. And it is fairly safe to do this, because none of them now poses much of a threat. 总的来说，我们现在或多或少地把这些语言看作有利的语言。在谈到与之相关的文化及其为世界所做的贡献时，我们常怀有崇敬与赞赏，而且这样做是很安全的，因为这些语言现在已不会构成什么大的威胁。 4. Yet many people see English as a blessing. Let me leave aside here the obvious advantages possessed by any world language, such as a large communicative network, a strong literary and media complex, and a powerful cultural and educational apparatus. 然而，许多人把英语看成是一件幸事。在此，我暂且不谈世界语言所具有的明显优势，例如庞大的交流网络、发达的文字与传媒体系以及强大的文化教育设施。 5. English-speaking South Africans of British descent were not particularly strong in opposing the apartheid regime, and the black opposition, whose members had many languages, was at first weak and disorganized. 讲英语的南非英国后裔并不强烈反对种族隔离政权，而黑人反对力量，其成员讲多种语言，在初期软弱无力且缺乏组织。 6. Such symbolism suggests that the users of the world's lingua franca should seek to benefit as fully as possible from the blessing and as far as possible avoid invoking the curse. 这一象征表明这种世界通用语的使用者应充分发掘这一幸事为我们带来的好处,同时尽能避免招来灾难。

There could be many mechanisms working in tandem that 12 us in choosing genetically similar friends 13 than "functional kinship" of being friends with 14 !One of the remarkable findings of the study was that the similar genes seem to be evolving 15 than other genes. Studying this could help 16 why human evolution picked pace in the last 30,000 years, with social environment being a major 17 factor. The findings do not simply corroborate people's 18 to befriend those of similar 19 backgrounds, say the researchers. Though all the subjects were drawn from a population of European extraction, care was taken to 20 that all
