Section B Cloze Test (10%)
Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Humor doesn't travel well. Jokes rarely translate. 21 there are many similarities 22 the universal dimensions of humor there are important cross-cultural differences as well. Humor is one of the most culturally rooted forms of communication, 23 no matter how universal or 24 of movement a joke may be thought
to be, the advice commonly given is that it needs to be discussed in 25 of its use with a trusted interpreter who will be frank about its appropriateness. One anthropologist who has studied humor has stressed it is culturally 26 and has argued that its success 27 shared cultural knowledge, shared rules for 28 it, and agreement about its cultural appropriateness. Generally, these are tall orders for people 29 with others whose cultural background is very different and 30 which they have only limited knowledge.
The difficulty with jokes crossing cultures is31 where the joke has to be translated, as is often the case if it's 32 in a speech, address or presentation. In this situation the joke teller is somewhat 33 the translator. A misunderstanding can quickly 34 a harmless joke into a(n) 35 one because the language of humor
is not universal and there may be social 36 on some of its genres. In Japan, constant joking is regarded as a lower social class way of speaking and is judged poorly. 37 jokes with sexual connotations, even in relatively open Japanese society, are judged poorly in everyday conversation.
Australians used to making jokes 38 others, and even themselves, need to be particularly 39 in light-hearted interactions with people with Asian cultural backgrounds. Because of the emphasis upon face that is almost universal in Asia, humor directed at individual is particularly 40 because of its ready capacity to offend.

Part II Reading Comprehension ( 40% )
Directions: There are 5 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are Four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide which is the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage 1
The music business is very difficult to succeed in; 9 out of 10 bands that have released their first record fail to produce a second. Surviving in the music industry requires luck and patience, but most of all it requires an intricate knowledge of how a record company functions. The signing of a recording contract is a slow process. The record company will spend a long time investigating the band and current trends in popular music; during this period, it is important that a band reciprocate with an investigation of its own, learning as much as possible about the company and making personal connections within the different departments that will handle their recordings, A record company's search for new talent usually begins by sending a representative of the Artists and Repertoire (A&R) department to visit bars and night clubs scouting for young, talented bands. When the representative identified a promising band, he or she will work to negotiate a contract and make the recording arrangements. Once a band has finished recording the album, the Publicity and Promotions department takes over and decides whether or not to mass produce and market the band's album. This is where many bands go wrong. They fail to make personal contacts in this second department, thus losing their voice in the final process of producing and marketing their album. This loss of voice often contributes to the band's failure as a recording group.

Passage 2
In managing information resources, the medium may be the key to an effective system. The medium is a vehicle, a tool, or a container for holding information; the information itself is the thing of value.
Three popular categories of information media are paper, film, and electronic storage devices- The media choice must not be viewed as a choice among these three, however; it must be viewed as an opportunity to select from a multitude of media possibilities in combinations that build effective systems. In many instances the person responsible for information-resource management is not the person who determines the medium in which information will be created. In such a case, the manager of a firm's information resources faces a challenge in making a significant contribution to the organization's objectives.
For effective management of information resources, media conversion may be necessary. Examples include keying or scanning paper documents to convert them to electronic media. Other processes convert electronic media from one format to another. For example, disk files created on one system may not be compatible with another system. Various hardware and software combinations can be used to convert files to formats that equipment will accept. For information generated within organizations, this necessity of making systems compatible may be eliminated by cooperative planning. However, very little control can be exercised over the media used to generate information that comes to your organization from the outside.
The medium for information may be selected to satisfy a need that exists when information is created and communicated. For example, a paper record may be created because of its portability and because no special equipment is necessary for later references to that information; electronic transmission may be selected because it is the fastest means of communicating information. A firm may use electronic mail because a network already exists for on-line computer communication. The additional application may cost less than postage to mail paper memos.
46.Which of the following can best sum up the passage?
A. Media Selection in Managing Information Resources.
B. The Importance and Necessity of Media Conversion.
C.Three Categories of Information Media.
D.Various Means or Communicating Information.
47.The first paragraph aims to tell the reader .
A.the importance of information-resource management
B.the relationship between the medium and information
C. the great variety of media for holding information
D. the numerous resources of information
48. According to the author, .
A. paper is the best storage device
B. people have a choice of different information media
C. it is better to let the person responsible for information-resource management determine the medium
D. the manager should build an effective system by selecting a good combination of different media
49. For effective management of information resources, the manager should .
A. convert all paper documents to electronic media
B. make media conversion when necessary
C control the media used to generate information both inside and outside his organization
D. use one format in processing information
50. The main idea of the last paragraph is that .
A. paper record is the most convenient medium for later reference
B. electronic mail costs less than postage to mail paper memos
C. different media for information may be selected for different purposes
D. by using different media, a firm can create various information for its objectives
Passage 3
Should doctors ever lie to be benefit their patients—to speed recovery or to conceal the approach of death? In medicine as in law, government, and other tines of work, the requirements of honesty often seem dwarfed by greater needs: the need to shelter from brutal news or to uphold a promise of society.
What should doctors say, for example, to a 46-year-old man coming in for a routine physical checkup who, though he feels in perfect health, is found to have a form of cancer? If he asks, should the doctors deny that he is ill, or minimize the gravity of the illness? Doctors confront such choices often and urgently. At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patient's own sake. In their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.
Studies show that most doctors sincerely believe that the seriously ill do not want to know the truth about their condition, and that informing them risks destroying their hope, so that they may recover more slowly, or deteriorate faster, perhaps even commit suicide. As one physician wrote: "Ours is a profession which traditionally has been guided by a percept that transcends the virtue of uttering the truth for truth's sake, and that is as far as possible ‘do no harm'." Armed with such a percept, a number of doctors may slip into deceptive practices that they assume will “do no harm" and may well help their patients.
But the illusory nature of the benefits such deception is meant to produce is now coming to be documented- Studies show that, contrary to the belief of many physicians, an overwhelming majority of patients do want to be told the truth, even about grave illness, and feel betrayed when they learn that they have been misled. We are also learning that truthful information, humanely conveyed, helps patients cope with illness.
Not only do lies not provide the "help11 hoped for by advocates of benevolent deception, they invade the autonomy of patients and render them unable to make informed choices concerning their own health.
Lies also do harm to those who tell them: harm to their integrity and, in the long run, to their credibility. Lies hurt their colleagues as well. The suspicion of deceit undercuts the work of the many doctors who are scrupulously honest with their patients; it contributes to the spiral of lawsuits and of “defensive medicine," and thus it injures, in turn, the entire medical profession.
51. Who are most likely to lie for selfish purposes?
A. Physicians.
B. Psychiatrists.
C. Lawyers.
D. Surgeons.
52. What do doctors think of lying to their seriously ill patients?
A. It's against the requirements of honesty.
B. It harms their own integrity.
C. It's for truth's sake.
D. It's a necessary practice.
53. What do most patients think of physicians' deception?
A. It slows down their recovery.
B. It hurts their feelings.
C. It makes them unable to deal with illness properly.
D. It leads to their hatred of doctors for their dishonesty.
54. What attitude does the author take towards doctors, deception?
A. Very subjective.
B. Slightly sarcastic.
C. Appreciative.
D. Emotional.
Passage 4
The rise of “temp” work has further magnified the decreasing rights and alienation of the workers. It is common corporate practice to phrase out full time employees and hire temporary workers to take on more workload in less time. When facing a pressing deadline, a corporation may pay — per hour for a temp worker, but the temp worker will only see part of that money. The rest goes to temp agency, which is usually a corporate chain, such as Kelly Service, that blatantly makes its profits off of other people's labor. This increases profits of the corporations because they can increase a workload, get rid of the employee when they're finished, and not worry about paying benefits or unemployment for that employee. I have had to work with temps a few times in my current position, and the workers only want one thing — a full time job with benefits. We really wanted to hire one temp I was working with, but we could not offer her a full time job because it would have been a breach in our contract with the temp agency that employed her. To hire a temp full time, we would have had to pay the agency over a thousand dollars. Through this practice and policy, the temp agency locks its temporary workers into a horrible new form of servitude from which the worker can not break free.
Furthermore, corporate powers push workers to take on bigger workloads, work
longer hours, and accept less benefit by instilling paranoia in their workforce. The capitalist bosses assume dishonesty, disloyalty, and laziness amongst workers, and they breed a sense of guilt and fear through their assumptions where guilt doesn't seep in, bitterness, anger, and depression take over, the highest priorities of Big Business arc to increase profits and limit liabilities. Personal relations and human needs are last on their list of priorities. So what we see is a huge mass of people who are alienated, disempowered, overworked, mentally and physically ill and who spend the vast majority of their time and energy on their basic survival. They are denied a chance to really “live”, because they are forced to make profits for the capitalists in power.
55. Which of the following can NOT be listed as a reason for corporations' hiring temporary workers and phasing
out full time employees?
A. Corporations intend to leave more workload to temporary workers.
B. Temp workers are generally well trained and can achieve high efficiency.
C. Corporations can reduce their production cost by employing temp workers.
D. Corporations can benefit a great deal from keeping a small full time work force.
56. The main purpose of the last paragraph is to .
A. show how much the capitalist bosses distrust temp workers
B. reveal that temp workers are living in misery
C. arouse readers' hatred for the capitalists
D. criticize severely the ignorance of the temp workers.
57. The author's attitude toward the temp workers can be described as .
A. amicable
B. depressed
C. sympathetic
D. hostile
Passage 5
No other country spends what we do per capita for medical care. The care available is among the best technically, even if used too lavishly and thus dangerously, but none of the countries that stand above us in health status have such a high proportion of medically disenfranchised persons. Given the evidence that medical care is not that valuable and access to care not that bad, it seems most unlikely that our bad showing is caused by the significant proportion who are poorly served. Other hypotheses have greater explanatory power: excessive poverty, both actual and relative, and excessive affluence.
Excessive poverty is probably more prevalent in the U.S. than in any of the countries that have a better infant mortality rate and female life expectancy at birth. This is probably true also for all but four or five of the countries with a longer male life expectancy. In the notably poor countries that exceed us in male survival, difficult living conditions are a more accepted way of life and in several of them, a good basic diet, basic medical care and basic education, and lifelong employment opportunities are an everyday fact of life. In the U.S. a national unemployment level of 10 percent may be 40 percent in the ghetto while less than 4 percent elsewhere. The countries that have surpassed us in health do not have such severe or entrenched problems. Nor are such a high proportion of their people involved in them.
Excessive affluence is not so obvious a cause of ill health, but, at least until recently, few other nations could afford such unhealthful ways of living. Excessive intake of animal protein and fats, dangerous intake of alcohol and use of tobacco and drugs (prescribed and proscribed), and dangerous recreational sports and driving habits are all possible only because of affluence. Our heritage, desires, opportunities,and our machismo, combined with the relatively low cost of bad foods and speedy vehicles, make us particularly vulnerable to our affluence. And those who are not affluent try harder. Our unacceptable health status, then, will not be improved appreciably by expanded medical resources not by their redistribution so much as by a general attempt to improve the quality of life for all.
58.All of the following are mentioned in the passage as factors affecting the health of the population
EXCEPT .
A. the availability of medical services
B. the genetic endowment of individuals
C. the nation's relative position in health status
D. an individuals life style
59. The author is primarily concerned with .
A. condemning the U.S. for its failure to provide better medical care to the poor
B. evaluating the relative significance of factors contributing to the poor health status in the U.S.
C. comparing the general health of the U.S. population with world averages
D. advocating specific measures designed to improve the health of the U.S. population
60. The author refers to the excessive intake by Americans of alcohol and tobacco and drug use in order to .
A. show that some health problems cannot be attacked by better medical care
B. demonstrate that use of tobacco and intoxicants is detrimental to health
C. cite examples of individual behavior that have adverse consequences for health status
D. illustrate ways in which excessive affluence may contribute to a poor health status
Paper Two
Part III Translation (20%)
Section A From English to Chinese (10%)
Directions: Read the fallowing passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Your translation must be written clearly on Answer Sheet II.
It is, perhaps, no accident that many of the outstanding figures of the past were exceptionally versatile men. Right up until comparatively recent times, it was possible for an intelligent person to acquaint himself with almost every branch of knowledge. Thus, men of genius like Leonardo Da Vinci or Sir Philip Sidney, engaged in many careers at once as a matter of course. Da Vinci was so busy with his numerous inventions, that he barely found the time to complete his paintings; Sidney, who died in battle when he was only thirty-two years old, was not only a great soldier, but 3 brilliant scholar and poet as well. (61) Both these men came very near to fulfilling the Renaissance ideal of the "universal man,” the man who was proficient at everything.
Today, we rarely, if ever, hear that a musician has just invented a new type of submarine. Knowledge has become divided and sub-divided into countless,narrowly-defined compartments. The specialist is venerated; the versatile person, far from being admired, is more often regarded with suspicion. (62) The modem world is a world of highly-skilled “experts” who have had to devote the greater part of their lives to a very limited field of study in order to compete with their fellows.
With this high degree of specialization, the frontiers of knowledge are steadily being pushed back more rapidly that ever before. But this has not been achieved without considerable cost. (63) The scientist, who outside his own particular subject is little more than a moron, is a modern phenomenon; as is the man of letters who is
barely aware of the tremendous strides that have been made in technology. Similarly, specialization has indirectly affected quite ordinary people in every walk of life. Many activities which were once pursued for their own sakes, are often given up in despair: they require techniques, the experts tell us, which take a lifetime to master. (64) Why learn to play the piano, when you can listen to the world's greatest pianists in your own drawing room?
Little by little, we are becoming more and more isolated from each other. It is almost impossible to talk to your neighbor about his job, even if he is engaged in roughly the same work as you are. The Royal Society in Britain includes among its members only the most eminent scientists in the country. (65) Yet it is highly disconcerting to find that even here, as one of its Fellows put it, at a lecture only 10% of the members can understand 50% of what is being said
Section B From Chinese to English (10%)
Directions: Read the following short paragraph carefully and then translate it into English. Your translation must be written clearly on Answer Sheet II.
网络化大学的目标是帮助大学更有效地完成教学使命和教育目标。这一宗旨同样也需要为数众多的公众上网关注大学的有关信息。高等教育作为一种产业从教育的工厂化手段转变成为以客户的需求为导向的教育，上述这些情况令人激奋。许多传统的大专院校将适应不了这种转变，被淘汰出局。而那些确实能生存下来的院校的特点将是能充分利用信息技术。为了得以生存，各大专院校现在就必须做出决定，懂得其战略优势在于运用网络化大学的基本原理。大学的领导者必须敢做敢为，勇于面对未来的挑战。

Such debt-raising is becoming more common.There are abundantreasons to believe that the market will grow much bigger yet. Largely this is because colleges are only belatedly becoming awareof how useful the financial markets can be.No doubt some of their hesitationhas been cultural:academics may have been reluctant to look at theiruniversities as businesses;or they may have misunderstood what was needed tohelp those businesses grow. If they did look at their institutions in economic terms,people ineducation tended not to think that universities lacked capital.Rather,theythought that they had a structural inability to use capital and labour moreefficiently.Unlike the car industry,many schools felt that they mustmaintain,or even increase,the ratio of employees(teachers)to customers(students).Small class sizes are taken as a signal of high quality,soinvesting money to save on teachers’salaries is not anattractive strategy. Schools had other reservations as well.Poor schools were worriedabout being unable to service debt.Rich schools with huge endowments may haveseen no need.

北京大学考博英语历年试题综合分析 导言：考博英语真题的重要性 全国各大院校在制定本校英语专业考试大纲时，对英语的考核基本上不指定参考书，考生在备考时往往感到漫无目的，无所适从，所以对各大院校的考博英语历年真 题分析则显得尤为重要。华慧考博英语教研中心在历时8年的教学研究的过程中，总 结国内50多所重点院校的考博英语试题的出题特点与规律，认为考生精研各院校的历年试题对考出良好的成绩有非常大的帮助。 考博英语试题的独特性 众所周知，英语类的考试，如高考、大学英语四六级、专业四八级考试、研究生 入学考试等均由统一的命题组人员统一命制试题，命题组阵容强大，且耗费的人力、物力也不在少数，其题目基本是原创题目。而考博英语却并非这样，因此，考博英 语有其自身的独特性，考博英语的独特性主要表现在其命题方式与题目来源两方面。 首先，从命题方式来看，博士考试中，要求考生达到英语的最低分数线，这一要 求就注定了各大考博院校的英语试题的命题方式，各大考博院校不会花费大量的人力、物力及时间原创一套考博英语试题。并且各大院校为了保证其试题的准确性，一般会 选择已经考过的各类相关难度的试题，这样就可以避免出现大量的因个人学术水平方 面而引起的错误和争议。 其次，从题目来源看，各大院校的考博英语试题基本来自专四、专八、六级、杂 志文章或其它考博院校的原题，极少出现原创题目。因其题目来源的独特性，我们研 究各大院校的考博英语试题就显得非常有必要且益处极大。如果考生在考前了解了这 一情况，且充分重视这个规律，那么获得考博英语高分不是什么难事。所以考生考前 精研考博英语真题是非常有必要的。
考博英语试题的作用 考博英语试题的作用主要有三个，即指导、规划与调控作用。 指导作用。通过研读历年的考博英语试题，考生可以了解该院校的题目类型、题目来源、 题目难度等，指导考生在较短的时间内找到正确的复习方法，获得自己满意的成绩。 规划作用。考生在宏观把握所报考院校的英语试题的出题规律后，结合自身的英语情况，对自己的英语备考做出一个正确且切合实际的复习规划。 调控作用。通过研读历年的考博英语试题，以所报考院校的英语真题为标杆，随时监控与调节自己的复习计划，使自己的复习计划在最短的时间内获得满意的成绩。 由此可知，研究真题对于考生在较短时间内提升成绩是有很大帮助的。因此，华慧考博英语研究中心对北京大学历年的考博真题进行了细致且深入的研究，将北京大学考博英语的出题特点、题目类型等进行了详细论述，对下一年度的考博英语命题趋势进行了预测，并提出了针对北京大学考博英语的备考方法，让考生的复习备考更加具有针对性，让考生少走弯路，快速提高考试成绩。 以下是华慧考博英语研究中心对北京大学考博英语历年试题详细分析。 一、北京大学考博英语试题的考核要求 北京大学博士研究生非英语专业入学考试是学校为招收博士研究生而设置的选拔性考试。教育部颁布的《硕士、博士研究生英语教学大纲》规定：“博士生入学其英语水平原则上应达到或略高于硕士生的水平”。根据这一规定，并结合历年招收博士研究生的具体情况，我校博士生入学英语考试既考查考生的语言知识，又注重测试考生的语言应用能力。

灯塔之光--就业小贴士之一：关于考博 经常有同学问起，考博需要准备多长的时间，现在准备是否还来得及等等，关于考博时间安排的问题，结合个人了解的情况和一些和朋友们交流的经验，简要介绍以下时间的安排，按以下几个部分分开讨论 考博的时间主要分以下几个部分： 1、确定学校的时间。 2、联系导师的时间。 3、英语准备的时间。 4、专业课准备的时间。 其实从这些时间的安排大家也就可以知道了整个考博的准备的过程。关于确定学校和联系导师的时间，没有什么固定的时间可言。可是却在整个考博的过程中却是决定成本与否最关键的一个时间段。关于考博学校的选择，个人觉得还是学校第一，地点第二，导师第三。当然如果三者都可以兼顾上当然更好。读博本身就是一件成本很高的一件事情，所以如果要想读，而且不让自己留下太多的遗憾的话，就读好的学校，这样也许才不会让自己留下太多的遗憾和懊悔。在城市方面北京、上海我觉得是首选的城市，毕竟一个人的发展，个人的能力是很重要的，机遇也很重要……我这里要提到的就是一个人的视野非常的重要，在大的城市读博，在人生面临选择的重要关头，通过在大城市宽广视野的洗礼，我想大家都会作出正确人生选择的。哪怕回到内地，发展毕竟曾经对大城市了解过，经历过，对于以后的发展都是会有帮助的。其实就那几个城市，一个城市也就那几所大学，等到大家确定好城市和学校以后，就到了第二个时间段了，联系导师的时间，这个也是不定的，是不是越早越好，这个将在下一篇文章中讨论，这里只是谈一下时间“长度”的问题，关于导师联系点，我认为大家可以采用广撒网的方法，首先结合个人的学术经历，个人的学科背景，个人的兴趣爱好等等一些方面，选择一些自己感兴趣的导师，这里大家不要过多的考虑导师是否会要我这个问题，每个导师对于学术方面的发展有其自己的规划，你是否是最适合的，只有导师站在他的角度去考虑才是最真实的，所以不需要自己给自己找个理由就放弃了，确定好导师以后，就给他们发email，通过他们回信来判断导师是否对自己有兴趣。在这种方法下再去确定导师是最有效的，也是最节省时间的。根据导师的回信，一般会找到几个对自己感兴趣的导师，最后再根据个人的情况有所取舍，留下一到两个继续保持联系，继续保持联系的目的，一是找到一个最自己最敢兴趣的，这样可以在保证分数够的情况下，肯定录取，二是为了对于导师的为人还有课题有进一步的了解为最终的判断提供信息。到目前为止学校、导师都确定了，这一步走好了，才能保证你一下的复习是有意义的。
资料目录：厦门大学近年考博真题+考博经验分享 1.2018厦门大学考博经验分享 2.2019厦门大学考博经验分享 3.2018双非学姐的厦大考博逆袭之路——本硕求学生涯历程 2018厦门大学考博经验分享 初试 1英语： 词汇：比较难，但没有考语法 阅读理解：比较简单，反正比考研英语简单 翻译：好像是2010年的真题 写作：类似雅思的命题思路，可参照雅思的方法准备 2人文基本素质 客观题：不是行测那种，基本都不会，有考考研政治的哲学题，还有考厦大校训的出处。感觉比较难准备 主观题：三选一。文科——国学热为主题写作2500字；经济——中国经济与世界经济平衡1500字；管理学——忘了 3西方经济学，能回忆起的只有以下几题 价格下降对产出的影响 简述总供给三种模型 标准费排污许可证 IS-LM模型计算 MC不等的情况下古诺、斯塔伯格模型 感觉没有偏题，和前几年的真题有许多重复的地方，只要认真复习就不会考的太差。可是要考比较好，就必须复习的时候尽量深刻理解。
复试 笔试：分专业。各专业有道统一的金融英译汉。国际金融专业是——汇率决定论；人民币扩大波幅评述；欧债危机；还有些想不起来了，反正把国际金融的教科书及当前热点都准备了就差不多了。但这是考博，准备的程度要比考研尽量深入一些。 英语口试：与外教对话几分钟。除了自我介绍，还会针对个人情况问一些问题，以及经济方面的问题 综合面试：陈述个人科研成果（这个环节非常重要，以往成果越多越加分）；外汇储备管理；银行盈利问题 2.2019厦门大学考博经验分享 2019年厦大国贸系的拟录取名单已经公布，虽然早已得知自己被录取，但还是长长地舒了一口气，不为别的，就是为自己一路以来的坚持而倍感欣慰。3年前，当我还是那个长彻案椅，为考研而发奋的孩子时，厦大就是我的目标，但最终我成为了失败者。尽管如此，在调剂的硕士学校读研期间，为了厦大的梦想，我还是努力坚持着。 今年我报了厦大和暨大两个学校，专业都是国际贸易学，两所学校考分竟然相同，都为231。今年厦大是改革的第一年，大家原以为这种改革方式会增加难度，却恰恰成为我们的机遇。今年厦大博士报考全面缩水，以我专业来说，只有3人报考，最后3人上线，最终取2人，而去年光一个博导报考就有10几人，我个人分析有三点原因：第一，厦大的专业课，也就是我们说的专业2在初试中取消，而被人文素质取代，由于题型和范围都未公布，之前一些同学很担心会考些非常规类的，或类似公务员考试的内容，因此打了退堂鼓;第二，厦大今年不再招在职生即委培对象，为保证生源质量必须是全日制培养，因此很多在职考生倍感压力，纷纷转向其他院校;第三，今年厦大和北方一些高校的考试时间重叠，我认为是比较重要的原因，因为以我学校为例，考博的学生一般会选择南开和厦大两所学校的经济类，而这两所学校从未时间冲突，坦诚地说我当初也准备报这两所学校的，但是厦大恰恰与几所北方高校的考试时间相同，我之后也很同学讨论过，
