PART II READING COMPREHENSION (30 MIN)
In this section there are four reading passages followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then mark the best answer to each question on ANSWER SHEET TWO．TEXT A
Three hundred years ago news travelled by word of mouth or 1etter, and circulated in taverns and coffee houses in the form of pamphlets and newsletters．“The coffee houses particularly are．very roomy for a free conversation，and for reading at an easier rate all manner of printed news，”noted one observer．Everything changed in 1833 when the first mass-audience newspaper, The New York Sun，pioneered the use of advertising to reduce the cost of news，thus giving advertisers access to a wider audience．The penny press，followed by radio and television，turned news from a two-way conversation into a one—way broadcast，with a relatively small number of firms controlling the media．
Now, the news industry is returning to something closer to the coffee house．The internet is making news more participatory，social and diverse，reviving the discursive characteristics of" the era before the mass media．That will have profound effects on society and politics．In much of the world．the mass media are flourishing．Newspaper circulation rose globally by 6% between 2005 and 2009．But those global figures mask a sharp decline in readership in rich countries．Over the past decade，throughout the Western world，people have been giving up newspapers and TV news and keeping up with events in profoundly different ways．Most strikingly, ordinary people are increasingly involved in compiling，sharing，filtering，discussing and distributing news．Twitter lets people anywhere report what they are seeing．Classified documents are published in their thousands online．Mobile·phone footage of Arab uprisings and American tornadoes is posted on social-networking sites and shown on television newscasts．Social-networking sites help people find，discuss and share news with their friends．And it is not just readers who are challenging the media elite．Technology firms including Google，Facebook and Twitter have become important conduits of news．Celebrities and world leaders publish updates directly via social networks；many countries now make raw data available through“open government”initiatives．The internet lets people read newspapers or watch
television channels from around the world．The web has allowed new providers of news，from individual bloggers to sites，to rise to prominence in a very short space of time．And it has made possible entirely new approaches to journalism，such as that practiced by WikiLeaks，which provides an anonymous way for whistleblowers to publish documents．The news agenda is no longer controlled by a few press barons and state outlets．
In principle，every liberal should celebrate this．A more participatory and social news environment，with a remarkable diversity and range of news sources，is a good thing．The transformation of the news business is unstoppable，and attempts to reverse it are doomed to failure．As producers of new journalism，individuals can be scrupulous with facts and transparent with their sources．As consumers，they can be general in their tastes and demanding in their standards．And although this transformation does raise concerns，there is much to celebrate in the noisy, diverse，vociferous，argumentative and stridently alive environment of the news business in the ages of the internet．The coffee house is back．Enjoy it．
11．According to the passage，what initiated the transformation of coffee-house news to mass-media news?
A．The emergence of big mass media firms．
B．The popularity of radio and television．
C．The appearance of advertising in newspapers．
D．The increasing number of newspaper readers．
12．Which of the following statements best supports“Now, the Hews industry is returning to something closer to the coffee house”?
A Newspaper circulation rose globally by 6％between 2005 and 2009．
B．People in the Western world are giving up newspapers and TV news．
C．Classified documents are published in their thousands online．
D．More people are involved in finding，discussing and distributing news．13．According to the passage，which is NOT a role played by information technology? A．Challenging the traditional media．
B．Planning the return to coffee-house news．
C．Providing people with access to classified files．
D．Giving ordinary people the chance to provide news．
14．The author’S tone in the last paragraph towards new journalism is
A．optimistic and cautious．B．supportive and skeptical．
C．doubtful and reserved．D．ambiguous and cautious．
15．In“The coffee house is back”，coffee house best symbolizes
A．the changing characteristics of news audience．
B．the more diversified means of news distribution．
C．the participatory nature of news．
D. the more varied sources of news．
TEXT B
Paris is like pornography．You respond even if you don’t want to．You turn a corner and see a vista，and your imagination bolts away。Suddenly you are thinking about what it would be like to live in Paris，and then you think about all the lives you have not lived．Sometimes，though, when you are lucky, you only think about how many pleasures the day ahead holds．Then, you feel privileged．
The lobby of the hotel is decorated in red and gold．It gives off a whiff of 1 9m．century decadence．Probably as much as any hotel in Paris，this hotel is sexy．1 was standing facing the revolving doors and the driveway beyond．A car with a woman in the back seat—a woman in a short skirt and black—leather jacket—pulled up before the hotel door．She swung off and she was wearing high heels．Normally, my mind would have leaped and imagined a story for this woman．Now it didn't I stood there and told myself．Cheer up．You’re in Paris．In many ways，Paris is best visited in winter．The tourist crowds are at a minimum，and one is not being jammed off the narrow sidewalks along the Rue Dauphine．More than this．Paris is like many other European cities in that the season of blockbuster cultural events tends to begin in mid-to late fall and so，by the time of winter, most of the cultural treasures of the city are laid out to be admired．
The other great reason why Paris in winter is so much better than Paris in spring and fall is that after the end of the August holidays and the return of chic Parisian women to their city, the restaurant-opening season truly begins hopping．By winter，many of the new restaurants have worked out their kinks(不足；困难)and，once the hype has died down，it is possible to see which restaurants are actually good and which are merely noisy and crowded．
Most people are about as happy as they set their mind to being，Lincoln said．In Paris it doesn’t take much to be happy．Outside the hotel，the sky was pale and felt very high up．I walked the few blocks to the Seine and began running along the blue-green river toward the Eiffel Tower．The tower in the distance was black，and felt strange and beautiful the way that many things built for the joy of building do．As I ran toward it，because of its lattice structure, the tower seemed obviously delicate．Seeing it，I felt a sense of protectiveness．
I think it was this moment of protectiveness that marked the change in my mood and my slowly becoming thrilled with being in Paris．
During winter evenings，Paris’s streetlamps have a halo and resemble dandelions．In winter, when one leaves the Paris street and enters a caf6 or restaurant，the light and temperature change suddenly and dramatically, there is the sense of having discovered something secret．In winter, because the days are short，there is an urgency to the choices one makes．There is the sense that life is short and so let us decide on what matters．
16. According to the passage，once in Paris one might experience all the following feelings EXCEPT
A．regret．B．condescension．C．expectation．D．impulse．17．Winter is the best season to visit Paris．Which of the following does NOT support this statement?
A．Fashionable Parisian women return to Paris．
B．More entertainment activities are staged．
C．There are more good restaurants to choose from．
D．There are fewer tourists in Paris．
18．"Most people are about as happy as they set their mind to being．”This statement means that most people
A．expect to be happy．
B．hope to be as happy as others．
C．would be happier if they wanted．
D．can be happy if they want．
19．In the eyes of the author, winter in Paris is significant because of
A．the atmosphere of its evenings．
B．its implications for life．
C．the contrast it brings．
D．the discovery one makes．
20．At the end of the passage, the author found himself in a mood of A．excitement．B．thoughtfulness．
C．loneliness．D．joyfulness．
TEXT C
If you want to know why Denmark is the world's leader in wind power, start with a three-hour car trip from the capital Copenhagen --mind the bicyclists --to the small town of Lem on the far west coast of Jutland．You'll feel it as you cross the 6.8 km-long Great Belt Bridge：Denmark's bountiful wind，so fierce even on a calm summer's day that it threatens to shove your car into the waves below．But wind itself is only part of the reason．In Lem，workers in factories the size of aircraft hangars build the wind turbines sold by Vestas，the Danish company that has emerged as the industry's top manufacturer around the globe．The work is both gross and fine；employees weld together massive curved sheets of steel to make central shafts as tall as a 14-story building，and assemble engine housings(机器外罩)that hold some 18,000 separate parts．Most impressive are the turbine's blades, which scoop the wind with each sweeping revolution．As smooth as an Olympic swimsuit and honed to aerodynamic perfection，each blade weighs in at 7,000 kg，and they’re what help make Vestas’turbines the best in the world．“The blade is where the secret is，”says Erik Therkelsen，a Vestas executive．“If we can make a turbine，it's sold．”
But technology,like the wind itselK is just one more part of the reason for Denmark's dominance．In the end，it happened because Denmark had the political and public will to decide that it wanted to be a leader and to follow through．Beginning in 1 979，the government began a determined programme of subsidies and loan guarantees to build up its wind industry．Copenhagen covered 30% of investment costs，and guaranteed loans for large turbine exporters such as Vestas．It also mandated that utilities purchase wind energy at a preferential price—thus guaranteeing investors a customer base．Energy taxes were channeled into research centres，where engineers crafted designs that would eventually produce cutting-edge giants like Vestas? 3-magawatt(MW)V90 turbine．
As a result．wind turbines now dot Denmark．The country gets more than 1 9％of its electricity from the breeze(Spain and Portugal，the next highest countries，get about 1 0％)and Danish companies control one—third of the global wind market，earning billions in exports and creating a national champion from scratch．“They were out early in driving renewables，and that gave them the chance to be a technology leader and a job—creation leader,”says Jake Schmidt，international climate policy director for the New York City—based Natural Resources Defense Council．“They have always been one or two steps ahead of others."
The challenge now for Denmark is to help the rest of the world catch up．Beyond wind，the country(pop.5.5 million)is a world leader in energy efficiency，getting more GDP per watt than any other member of the E．U．Carbon emissions are down 13.3％from 1990 levels and total energy consumption has barely moved，even as Denmark's economy continued to grow at a healthy clip．With Copenhagen set to host all-important U．N．climate change talks in December --where the world hopes for a successor to the expiring Kyoto Protocol -- and the global recession
beginning to hit environmental plans in capitals everywhere，Denmark's example couldn't be more timely．“We'll try to make Denmark a showroom.”says Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen．“You can reduce energy use and carbon emissions，and achieve economic growth."
It's tempting to assume that Denmark is innately green，with the kind of Scandinavian good conscience that has made it such a pleasant global citizen since，oh，the whole Viking thing．But the country’s policies were actually born from a different emotion，one now in common currency：fear．When the 1973 oil crisis hit，90％of Denmark's energy came from petroleum，almost all of it imported．Buffeted by the same supply shocks that hit the rest of the developed world，Denmark launched a rapid drive for energy conservation，to the point of introducing car-free Sundays and asking businesses to switch off lights during closing hours．Eventually the Mideast oil started flowing again，and the Danes themselves began enjoying the benefits of the petroleum and natural gas in their slice of the North Sea．It was enough to make them more than self-sufficient．But unlike most other countries，Denmark never forgot the lessons of l973，and kept driving for greater energy efficiency and a more diversified energy supply．The Danish parliament raised taxes on energy to encourage conservation and established subsidies and standards to support more efficient buildings．“It all started out without any regard for the climate or the environment，”says Svend Auken，the former head of Denmark?s opposition Social Democrat Party and the architect of the country's environmental policies in the 1990s．“But today there?s a consensus that we need to build renewable power."
To the rest of the world，Denmark has the power of its example．showing that you can stay rich and grow green at the same time．“Denmark has proven that acting on climate can be a positive experience，not just painful,”says NRDC's Schmidt．The real pain could come from failing to follow in their footsteps．
21．Which of the following is NOT cited as a main reason for Denmark's world leadership in wind power?
A．Technology．B．Wind．C．Government drive．D．Geographical location．22．The author has detailed some of the efforts of the Danish Government in promoting the wind industry in order to show
A．the government’S determination．
B．the country’S subsidy and loan policies．
C．the importance of export to the country．
D．the role of taxation to the economy．
23．What does the author mean by“Denmark's example couldn?t be more timely”? A．Denmark's energy-saving efforts cannot be followed by other countries．
B．Denmark can manufacture more wind turbines for other countries．
C．Denmark's energy-saving Success offers the world a useful model．
D．Denmark aims to show the world that it can develop even faster．
24．According to the passage，Denmark's energy-saving policies originated from
A．the country's long tradition of environmental awareness．
B．the country's previous experience of oil shortage．
C．the country's grave shortage of natural resources．
D．the country's abundant wind resources．
25．Which of the following is NOT implied in the passage?
A．Not to save energy could lead to serious consequences．
B．Energy saving cannot go together with economic growth．
C．Energy saving efforts can be painful but positive．
D．Denmark is a powerful leader in the global wind market．
TEXT D
The first clue came when I got my hair cut．The stylist offered not just the usual coffee or tea but a complimentary nail—polish change while 1 waited for my hair to dry．Maybe she hoped this little amenity would slow the growing inclination of women to stretch each haircut to last four months while nursing our hair back to whatever natural colour we long ago forgot．Then there was the appliance salesman who offered to carry my bags as we toured the microwave aisle．When I called my husband to ask him to check some specs online，the salesman offered a pre-emptive discount，lest the surfing turn up the same model cheaper in another store．That night，for the first time，I saw the Hyundai ad promising shoppers that if they buy a car and then lose their job in the next year，they can return it．
Suddenly everything’s on sale．The upside to the economic downturn is the immense incentive it gives retailers to treat you like a queen for a day．During the flush times．Salespeople were surly，waiters snobby．But now the customer rules，just for showing up．There’s more room to stretch out on the flight，even in a coach．The malls have that serene aura of undisturbed wilderness，with scarcely a shopper in sight．Every conversation with anyone selling anything is a pantomime of pain and bluff．Finger the scarf, then start to walk away, and its price floats silkily downward．When the mechanic calls to tell you that brakes and a timing belt and other services will run close to $2,000，it's time to break out the newly perfected art of the considered pause．You really don't even have to say anything pitiful before he'll offer to knock a few hundred dollars off．Restaurants are also caught in a fit of ardent hospitality, especially around Wall Street：Trinity Place offers $3 drinks at happy hour any day the market goes down．with the slogan “Market tanked? Get tanked!”--which ensures a lively crowd for the closing bell．The "21" Club has decided that men no longer need to wear ties，so long as they bring their wallets．Food itself is friendlier：you notice more comfort food，a truce between chef and patron that is easier to enjoy now that you can get a table practically anywhere．New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni characterizes the new restaurant demeanor as "extreme solicitousness tinged with outright desperation．"“You need to hug the customer,”one owner told him．
There's a chance that eventually we'll return a11 this kindness with the extravagant spending that was once decried but now everyone is hoping will restart the economy．But human nature is funny that way．In dangerous times，we clench and squint at the deal that looks too good to miss，suspecting that it must be too good to be true．Is the store with the super cheap flat screens going to go bust and thus not be there to honour the "free" extended warranty? Is there something wrong with that free cheese? Store owners will tell you horror stories about shoppers with attitude，who walk in demanding discounts and flaunt their new power at every turn．These store owners wince as they sense bad habit forming：Will people expect discounts forever? Will their hard．won brand luster be forever cheapened，especially for items whose allure depends on their being ridiculously priced?
There will surely come a day when things go back to“normal”；retail sales even inched up in January after sinking for the previous six months．But 1 wonder what it will take for US to see those $545 Sigerson Morrison studded toe-ring sandals as reasonable? Bargain-hunting can be addictive regardless of the state of the markets，and haggling is a low-risk，high-value contact
sport．Trauma digs deep into habit，like my 85-year—old mother still calling her canned-goods cabinet “the bomb shelter." The children of the First Depression were saving string and preaching sacrifice long after the skies cleared．They came to be called the “greatest generation." As we learn to be decent stewards of our resources，who knows what might come of it? We have lived in an age of wanton waste，and there is value in practicing conservation that goes far beyond our own bottom line．
26．According to the passage，what does“the first clue" suggest?
A．Shops try all kinds of means to please customers．
B．Shops，large or small，are offering big discounts．
C．Women tend to have their hair cut less frequently．
D．Customers refrain from buying things impulsively．
27．Which of the following best depicts the retailers now?
A．Bad-tempered．B．Highly motivated．
C．Over-friendly．D．Deeply frustrated．
28．What does the author mean by“the newly perfected art of the considered pause”? A．Customers now rush to buy things on sale．
B．Customers have got a sense of superiority．
C．Customers have learned how to bargain．
D．Customers have higher demands for service．
29．According to the passage，“shoppers... flaunt their new power at every turn" means that shoppers would
A．keep asking for more discounts．
B．like to show that they are powerful．
C．like to show off their wealth．
D．have more doubts or suspicion．
30. What is the author's main message in the last two paragraphs?
A．Extravagant spending would boost economic growth．
B. One's life experience would turn into lifelong habits．
C. Customers should expect discounts for luxury goods．
D. The practice of frugality is of great importance．

生活像一杯红酒，热爱生活的人会从中品出无穷的美妙。将它握在手中观察，它的暗红有血的感觉，那正是生命的痕迹。抿一口留在口中回味，它的甘甜有一丝苦涩，如人生一般复杂迷离。喝一口下肚，余香润人心肺，让人终受益。红酒越陈越美味，生活越丰富越美好。当人生走向晚年，就如一瓶待开封的好酒，其色彩是沉静的，味道中充满慷慨于智慧。
Life is like a cup of wine; people who love it discover inexhaustible wonders from it.
Hold in the hand and gaze at it, the dark red color is reminiscent of the blood, which is the impress of life.
Take a sip of it and appreciate the taste, the bittersweet flavor is exactly the same with life, which
is complicated and blurred.
Once the sip is swallowed, the lingering fragrance pleases the heart and refreshes the mind, leaving a person lifelong benefit.
There was a remarkable resemblance between life and wine: the taste becomes more delicious as the wine mellows, just as life gets better as it becomes more abundant.
When life comes to twilight years, it looks calm and tastes full of wisdom and generosity, just like a bottle of wine to be savored.
2013年英语专八考试翻译英译汉答案
联合国代表大会，中心政治论坛，由193个成员国组成，几乎包括世界上所有国家，其中三分之二的国家为发展中国家，占世界总人口的四分之三。通过决议非常困难，尤其是所有惯例决出的协议必须达成一致才能通过。结果就是，重要的协议总是被狭隘的特殊利益所挟持，并且大部分协议都只是用来使自己的利益最大化。但真正的问题是世界上主要国.是否愿意看到民主最大限度地开展。联合国安理会，负责和平和安全，处理最重要的政治问题。安理会只有15个成员国，所以能经常性地应付危机。它曾一度由于冷战对立而停摆，但已经重新获得了联合国宪章给予的权利。

2013年英语专八考试作文参考范文
Is a sound social environment necessary for people to be good to others
Helping others has always been a virtue in traditional Chinese culture, but nowadays many people dare not offer help to those in need, for fear of getting into trouble. The issue has aroused public debate over the climate of morality and credibility, and many people sigh over the moral degeneration. In my opinion, while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, each individual should try his or her best to do good deeds and be sympathetic with others, instead of waiting for the environment to improve.
There is no denying that some tragic events turn out to be traps by people with evil intentions, so
people are becoming more risk-conscious and are more wary of traps and deceits. some people even wonder, …Is our society hostile to good people?? The question may sound ridiculous but many people apparently think so. They believe that our current society provides a bad environment for good people doing good things, and good people pay a high price for being compassionate. In fact, such kind of things only accounts for a pretty small percentage, but massive media coverage makes the situation seem serious. Actually, most people around me are kind, warm-hearted and helpful, and I am quite delighted in their company. So I believe media should pay more attention to publicizing good people and exemplary deeds to enhance our confidence, rather than exposing disgusting behaviors.
At the same time, as John Donne puts it, “No man is an island, entire of itself. Every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” Since everyone of us is a component of the society, it is each individual?s conducts that form social morality. Just imagine it is you who need help, what would you feel if everyone watches indifferently or suspiciously? So, put yourself in other?s position and be sympathetic. If we do nothing but wait for the environment to improve, nothing will happen. Only by removing the fence around our kind consciousness can we reverse the regress of social ethics, and make our world full of warmth and happiness. Therefore, if help is needed, never hesitate to lend a helping hand. It will make you happy and feel better about life.
In sum, I contend the idea that while social environment is necessary for people to be good to others, it is each individual?s responsibility to offer help to those in need, and together we build up a more harmonious society.

Say No to Pirated Products
No one can have failed to notice the fact that piracy has become a grave problem with which we are confronted. Taking a look around, we can find examples too numerous to list. In many places we see people peddling pirated books or disks. There is hardly anyone who has not been asked the question: “Wanna a disk?”Actually, piracy has become so widespread that it has severely affected people?s life and hindered the development of the nation?s economy and culture.
A number of factors could be responsible for this phenomenon, but the following are the most critical ones. First, pirated products are much cheaper than copyrighted ones, so they are very attractive to people, especially youngsters, who are not financially well-off. Secondly, with highly developed technology, it is not difficult to manufacture pirated products. An average person can produce thousands of copies of a film only if he has a computer an d a recorder, which won?t cost him much. Last but not least, relevant laws are not in existence or in effect.
Piracy is bound to generate severe consequences if we keep turning a blind eye to it. First, intellectual property rights are severely infringed upon and honest producers will lose the motivation to develop new products. As a result, the nation?s economy and culture will stay where they are and see no progress. Meanwhile, pirated products are often of low quality, thus damaging the interest of buyers, especially customers who wish to purchase copyrighted products. Finally, the destruction of pirated products means a grievous waste of the nation?s resources. It is really upsetting to see thousands of pirated books burnt or millions of pirated DVDs of films and music crushed.
In view of the seriousness of the problem, effective measures must be taken before things get worse. First, it is essential that pertinent laws and regulations be worked out and rigidly enforced to ban the manufacture and circulation of pirated products. Mean while, a deep-going, widespread and everlasting campaign should be launched to enhance people?s awareness of protecting intellectual property rights and saying no to pirated products. With proper laws and an alert public, it will be only a matter of time before piracy becomes a thing of the past. /With these measures taken, we have reasons to believe that the problem can be solved in the near future./Only with these measures taken can we expect a bright future.

2012考研英语二大纲解析 9月15日，《2012全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(二)考试大纲》公布，与去年英语(二)大纲相比，2012考研英语(二)考试大纲没有任何变化。为了帮助大家对英语(二)大纲有更深刻的认识，我下面从考试性质、评价目标和试卷结构三个角度，对2012年英语(二)考试大纲的考查要求和内容进行解析。 一、考试性质 全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(二)主要是为高等院校和科研院所招收专业学位硕士研究生而设置的具有选拔性质的统考科目。 全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(一)是为高等院校和科研院所招收硕士研究生而设置的具有选拔性质的统考科目。 即英语(一)是针对学术硕士研究生的考生，英语(二)是针对专业硕士研究生的考生。 专业硕士研究生主要包括会计硕士等19种专业学位，2011年新增加的金融硕士等19种专业学位招生工作尚待教育部发文明确。其中：MBA、MPA、项目管理MPM以及新增的工程管理MEM等硕士专业学位仅面向在职人员，应届生不能报考。如报考工商管理硕士125100（MBA）、公共管理硕士125200（MPA）以及工程管理硕士MEM的考生必须具有大学本科毕业后三年以上（含三年）工作经验，或者大专毕业后五年以上（含五年）工作经验，或者具有硕士或博士学位并有两年以上（含两年）工作经验。 二、评价目标 1. 语法：英语二明确了八个语法知识点 英语(一)大纲要求考生能熟练地运用基本的语法知识，没有专门列出对语法知识的具体要求，而英语(二)专门列出了考生需要掌握的八个语法知识点？，明确了考查方向和备考范围。这在一定程度上意味着英语(二)语法考查范围相对较小，更注重考查考生的基础知识，难度会比英语一大大降低。专家建议考生把这八个语法知识点认真吃透，并加以灵活运用。 2. 词汇：英语二词汇的复习重点有别于英语一词汇 英语(一)大纲要求“考生能掌握5500左右的词汇和630个超纲词汇及相关词组”。而英语(二)大纲要求“考生应能较熟练地掌握5500个左右的常用词汇以及相关常用词组”。可见，英语(二)不会像英语一那样偏重对词汇词义和用法的深度挖掘，而是主要偏重考查“常用”的词汇和词组，其考查的难度大家就心里有底了。 此外，英语一对词汇还提出了更全面的要求“除掌握词汇的基本含义外，考生还应掌握词汇之间的词义关系，如同义词、近义词、反义词等；掌握词汇之间的搭配关系，如动词与介词、形容词与介词、形容词与名词等；掌握词汇生成的基本知识，如词源、词根、词缀等”。而英语二提到的是“考生应能根据具体的语境、句子结构或上下文理解一些非常用词的词义”。专家认为，英语一与英语二的词汇要求侧重点不同，英语一的要求相对较高，考生复习起来难度和任务量也较大，而英语二对词汇的要求相对较低，更多的只是考查考生根据语境推测非常用词词义的能力。 在阅读能力要求方面，英语二大纲去掉了“生词量不超过所读材料总词汇量的3%”这一条。可见，英语二涉及到的生词量问题较少，考查生词的可能性也降到了最低。 3. 阅读能力：英语二阅读能力要求相对较低
