2011年5月学位英语试题

2011年学位英语考试试题Passage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56．The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57．The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachersB) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards58．Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional values59．Lack of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60．France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )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 the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81．A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82．A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83．A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84．A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85．A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86．A) about B) away C) down D) up87．A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88．A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89．A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90．A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91．A) them B) it C) us D) that92．A) up B) down C) in D) on93．A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94．A) on B) to C) in D) at95．A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96．A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97．A) as B) because C) while D) for98．A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99．A) off B) through C) by D) from100.

They are expensive for not only consumers but also the environment; the need of the hour is therefore to come up with eco-friendly bags.Environment friendly bags are the latest and most fashionable to bit the market. Environment friendly people want to be associated and seen with natural fiber bags. Multicolored patch work bags and printed bags are everyone’s favorite. Most eco-friendly bags are made of cotton. These bags are very comfortable and elegant. They are not only attractive but also long lasting.A cotton bag is a simple and stylish way to eliminate waste and make a fashion statement. Cotton bags with unique patterns and designs are simple and stylish to carry around. Cotton fiber is soft-touch and most comfortable. Finishing processes of cotton are numerous, reflecting today’s tremendous range and combination of colors and special qualities. The bags are reusable and represent a sustainable alternative to traditional materials.Introducing this exciting new message of environmental sustainability is Kariwala Green Bags, which makes a vast range of environment friendly bags.

The phrase “to come up with” (Paragraph 1) means “________”.A. to replaceB. to purchaseC. to produceD. to ban17.

By “revolution” (Paragraph 5), the author probably refers to the _______.A. great reduction of white pollutionB. a brand new style of bag designC. a new way to promote cotton bagsD. widespread use of eco-friendly bags20. The primary purpose of the author is to .A. promote Kariwala cotton bagsB. advocate the advantages of cotton bagsC. highlight the importance of bag designsD. persuade people to follow the fashionPassage TwoA review of more than 160 studies of human subjects has found “clear and compelling evidence”that---all else being equal ---happy people tend to live longer and experience better health than their unhappy peers.The study is the most comprehensive review so far of the evidence linking happiness to health. Its lead author ED Diener analyzed long-term studies of human subjects, experimental human trials, and studies that evaluate the health status of people stressed by natural events.“We reviewed eight different types of studies,”Diener said. “And the general conclusion from each type of study is that your subjective well-being---that is, feeling positive about your life, not stressed out, not depressed---contributes to both long life and better health among healthy populations.”A study that followed nearly 5,000 university students for more than 40 years, for example, found that those who were most pessimistic as students tended to die younger than their peers. An even longer-term study that followed 180 Catholic nuns from early adulthood to old age found that those who wrote positive accounts of their lives in their early 20s tended to live longer than those who wrote more negative ones.There were a few exceptions, but most of long-term studies the researchers reviewed found that anxiety, depression, a lack of enjoyment of daily activities and pessimism are all associated with higher rates of disease and a shorter life.While happiness might not by itself prevent or cure disease, posive emotions and enjoyment of life do contribute to better health and a longer life, Diener said.“Happiness is no magic bullet,”he said. “But the evidence is clear and compelling that it changes your chances of getting disease or dying young.”21. The word “compelling” (Paragraph 1) means “_______”.A. directB. convincingC. adequateD. conclusive22. According to Paragraph 2, Ed Diener .A. studied the health conditions of the subjectsB. conducted experimental human trialsC. made long-term studies of human subjectsD. review other researchers’ studies23. According to the studies on university students and Catholic nuns, who are more likely to livelonger?A. Well-educated people.B. Optimistic people.C. Open-minded people.D. Religious people.24. What is NOT mentioned as relevant to a shorter life?A. Depression and anxiety.B. Lack of enjoyment.C. Constant lack of sleep.D. Stress and pessimism.25.By saying that “Happiness is no magic bullet”(Paragraph 7), Diener means thathappiness .A. is not ever lastingB. is not easy to obtainC. is not a good treatment of diseasesD. is not a guarantee of health and long lifePassage ThreeCold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word “cold”. For centuries the body’s blood has been linked closely with emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold blooded.Cold-blooded people act in cruel ways. They may do brutal things to others and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone not in self-defense or because he was reacting to anger or fear. He seemed to kill for no reason and with no emotion as if taking someone’s life meant nothing.Cold can affect other parts of the body, the feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression “to get cold feet” that has nothing to do with cold or your feet. The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do. For example, you agreed to be president of an organization, but then you learned that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional andshows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone else. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who without feeling broke the hearts of their lovers.“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else has got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise that he was left out in the cold and it is not a pleasant place to be in.26. The focus of the passage is .A. the meanings of expressions with “cold”B. the influence of cold weather on our mind and bodyC. why people are unhappy with cold weatherD. how some people become cold blooded27. A cold-blooded killer may take the life of another person .A. by accidentB. for no reasonC. out of fearD. in self-defense28. If a person “gets cold feet”, he or she may feel a little .A. angryB. puzzledC. disappointedD. frightened29. A cold fish is a person who _______.A. is indifferent to others’ sufferingsB. tends to turn down others’ helpC. remains cool in emergencyD. prefers to stay all alone30. Which of the following expressions may mean “unlucky”?A. Cold face.B. Cold feet.C. Cold heart.D. Out in the cold.Passage FourThe New York Times has reported on a problem that many of us have but are not aware of—Internet addiction. According to reporter Tara Parker-Pope, millions of us are addicted to being online. She says this is a growing problem that is making us more forgetful and impatient. Ms Parker-Pope writes about various reports highlighting how technology is changing people. In one, she quotes cyber-psychologist Dr. Elias Aboujaode who says: “More and more, life is resembling the chat room.”He said we are living in “virtual lifestyles”, which is negatively affecting our real-life relationships. Nicki Dowling, a clinical psychologist from Melbourne University in Australia, concluded in a recent study that ten per cent of young people had what she called “Internet dependence”.Tara Parker-Pope quizzed experts in this field on what the signs of being overly absorbed in technology are. She came up with seven signs of “tech overload”. The first is whether you check your e-mail before doing other things. Another sign is if you always look forward to your next online visit —a sure sign of dependence and addiction. The third point is if you say, “just a fewmore minutes” when someone wants you. Parker-Pope found one’s communication with others also says a lot about how important the Internet is compared with family and friends; do you lie about how much time you spend online or choose to surf the Internet instead of going out with others? Other indicators include the “online lift”that stops you being unhappy, and others’complaints about you always being online.31. Which of the following can be the title of this passage?A. Internet AddictionB. Virtual LifestylesC. Indicators of Net DependenceD. Importance of the Internet32. According to Tara Parker-Pope, millions of people .A. have realized the problem of Internet addictionB. cannot get rid of their habit of staying onlineC. have become more patient and careful onlineD. welcome the changes brought about by technology33. What does Dr. Elias Aboujaode think of the virtual lifestyles that we are living in?A. They make people eager to talk to each other.B. They make people more dependent on the Internet.C. They have a negative effect on real-life relationships.D. They get more people interested in online studies.34. Which of the following is NOT a sign of Internet addiction?A. Checking e-mail before doing anything else.B. Expecting all the time the next online visit.C. Surfing the Net instead of going out with others.D. Arriving late for important appointments.35. What does “tech overload” (Paragraph 2) mean in the passage?A. Over-absorption in the Internet.B. Over-dependence on e-mail.C. Over-interest in technology.D. Over-interaction with friends.PART III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions : There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choic es marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censo rship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere wi th works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut th at great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remem ber two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censo rs are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recogn ize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, pla ys and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art ".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications an d films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When cen sorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtu ally anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate " artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorsh ip does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wi se counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD) censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he mea ns ____.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is porn ographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A) censors are fully qualified for their jobB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works of artPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fas hionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 2 5 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the tr uth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatev er teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school ins pector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you' re a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were beingterrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment bloc ks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, su ch stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and exto rtion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school live s the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time f ighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their e mphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despit e disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private educationC) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachersB) seems to have no serious difficultiesC) is running smoothlyD) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children t oC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional valuesck of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in application sC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPart Ⅲ Cloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank t here are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose the One that the best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answe r Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quanti ties. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutioniz ed. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foo ds are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Dise ased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water f or a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easier to pac k into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fi ll 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into c ans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure insi de each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too s oft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100.

Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage 1Nearly a quarter-century after a German boy tossed a message in a bottle off a ship inthe Baltic Sea, he’s received an answer.A 13-year-old Russian, Daniil Korotkikh, was walking with his parents on a beach when he saw something glittering lying in the sand.“I saw that bottle and it looked interesting, ” Korotkikh told The Associated Press on Tuesday. “It looked like a German beer bottle with a ceramic plug, and there was a message inside.”His father, who knows a little German, translated the letter. It said ： My name is Frank , andI’m five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find thes letter, please write back to me , and I will write back to you.”The letter, dated 1987,included an address in the town of Coesfeld.The boy in the letter, Frank Uesbeck , is now 29. His parents still live at the letter’s address. “At first I didn’t believe it,” Uesbeck told the AP about getting the response from Korotkikh. In fact, he barely remembered the trip at all; his father actually wrote the letter.The Russian boy said he does not believe that the bottle actually spent 24 years in the sea“It would not have survived in the water all that time,” he said. He believed it bad been hidden under the sand where he found it .In the web chat earlier this month, Uesbek gave Korotkikh his new address to write to and promised to write back when he receives his letter.“He’ll definitely get another letter from me,” the 29-year-old said.Uesbeck was especially thrilled that he was able to have a positive impact on a life of ayoung person far away from Germany.16.

There is a shortage of food and the available food is too expensive for hungry people to buy . Therefore , they go without food, or each day have only one or two small meals lacking the necessary vitamins to maintain good health.Recently, a man who wanted to understand the conditions of such people conducted an experiment . He only ate one meal a day for a month but continued to work as he normally did.During the first five days he was hungry at his regular meal times, but after he had dunk a glass of water his hunger went away. In the evening, when he ate his one meal,he ate auickly and consumed a large amount. During the next few days, although he was not hungry during the day , he quickly noticed every food stall, and the smelt of food caught his attention. During the third and fourth weeks, he had hunger pains and lacked physical strength. He looked forward to his one meal and ate it very slowly, enjoying every bite. Without it, he knew he would have hardly enough energy to work.This experience changed his attitude about some things. Having a cup of tea was not just a pastime, it also gave him strength. He more frequently noticed overweight people who threw away lefover food. He realized the importance of food for the very hungry person, He could no longer easily pass by a hungry beggar on the street. But most important, he could now sympathize in a small way with the starving people of the world.21.According to the first paragraph, today the problem with many people is thatA. they don’t eat foodB. they are too poor to buy food.C. the food they eat lacks vitaminsD. not enough food is provided to them.22.The man ate only one meal a day becauseA. there was a serious shortage of foodB. it was an effective way of losing weightC. he wanted to know how hungry people could beD. he could not afford to have htree meals a day.23.At first, when he was hungry he found that a glass of waterA. got rid of his thirstB. could remove his hungerC. hardly produced any effectD. only made him feel hungrier24.The experiment made the man realize that .A. most people are just eating for fun师资最强，价格最低，最专业的学位英语网站B. overweight people are wasting foodC. food has a different meaning for peopleD. leftover food shouldn’t be thrown away.25.After the experiment was over, the man might have felt thatA. hunger is less painful once you get used to itB. a man can survive for years on only one meal a dayC. you enjoy your food more if you go hungry for a whileD. something should be done for the hungry people of the worldPassage 3A college education is not just preparation for a career, however. In addition to taking courses in their major field of study, students enroll in elective courses. They may take classes that help them understand more about people, nature, government, or the arts. Well-rounded people are likely to be better citizens, better parents and more interesing and interested individuals.Although two-thirds of American high school graduates go on to study in college, recent high school graduates no longer dominate the college campuses. Adults of all ages return to the classroom, either for new vocational skills or for personal growth. In 1966, for example, almost 20% of American college students were over age 35. Some 500,000 college students are over 50. American faith in the value of education is exemplified by the rising number of Americans who have at least a bachelor’s degree. Almost one-quarter of Americans over age 25 are college graduates. College attendance is not reserved for the wealthy and the academically talented. It is available to any one who wants to go. Right now about 15million students are taking advantage of the opportunity. For those not academically prepared to handle college-level work, about 80% of undergraduate schools offer remedial ( sometimes called developmental ) classes in reading, writing, and math.The U. S. has about 3,700 institutions of higher learning. About 1,600 of these are2-year schools. More than 2,000 are 4-year schools, many of which also have graduate programs. With so many colleges to choose from, how do prospective students find the right one for hteir nedds? Information about schools is easy to obtain. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools even mail out video. Students can write for printed information and applications. Some schools even mail out video. Students can also use computer programs that allow them to specify particular interests and print out a list of schools that fit their description.Most institutions of higher learning also have web sites. Many schools send college representatives to high school and two-year colleges to secruit students. Finally, many students visit college, take tours of campuses, and talk to counselors.26. Th e word “well-rounded”in Paragraph 1 meansA. well deve loped in a range of aspectsB. rounded in shape or well developedC. well planned and balancedD. full, varied, and satisfyingin American colleges.27.

ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. SixPassage 4A man from New York is suing four big fast-food companies. Caesar Barber is going tocourt because he says that high-fat foods at McDonald’s, Burger King, Wendy’s, and KFC Corporation destroyed his health. Barber says that he ate at these restaurants four or five times a week for many years. He claims that this diet made him very overweight. According to Mr. Barber, obesity (肥胖症) gave him diabetes (糖尿病), high blood pressure, and, two heart attacks. When a reporter asked him why he ate there so often, he said,“I was single, it was quick, and I’m not a very good cook.”Barber’s lawyer, Samuel Hirsch, says that the suit has two different purposes. The firstis to make fast-food restaurants offer healthier foods in smaller amounts. The suit also asks that fast foods have warning labels similar to labels on cigarettes Mr. Hirsch says that these labels are necessary because the effects of fast foods are similar to the effects of cigarettes, alcohol, and illegal drugs such as heroin.Two others may soon join Barber’s suit. One is Frances Winn, a 57-year-old retirednurse. Ms. Winn says that she has eaten at fast-food restaurants at least twice a week since 1975. She says that this habit has caused several health problems, including high blood pressure. Isreal Bradley,59,said eating a pound of French fries every week gave him high blood pressure and diabetes.Officals of the fast-food industry attacked the legal action, National RestaurantAssociation representative Katharine Kim called it ridiculous. KFC spokeswoman Amy Sherwoodclaimed KFC offers several kind of foods for people who want to eat healthier. Legal expert Walter Olson agreed that the suit had little chance of success. He said that people were free to make different choices.Whether or not the suit is successful, there is no doubt that Americans have a weightproblem. Medical expe rts say that obesity will soon be America’s number one killed. They have encouraged fast-food companies to offer healthier foods.31. What does the word “suing” in the first sentence mean?A. Attacking. plaining about 32. Caesar Barber’s probl em is thatB. Mentioning. D.

Passage 1Questions I to 5 are based on the following passage:Spending 50 minutes with a cell phone close to your ear is enough to change brain cell activity in the part of the brain closest to the antenna(天线). But whether that causes any harm is not clear, scientists at the National Institute of Health said at a conference last month, adding that the study will not likely settle concerns of a link between cell phones and brain cancer. “What we showed is glucose (葡萄糖) metabolism(代谢)(a sign of brain activity) increases in the brain in people who were exposed to a cell phone in the area closest to the antenna,” said Dr. Nora Volkow of the NIH, whose study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. (76) The study was meant to examine how the brain reacts to electromagnetic fields caused by wireless phone signals。

A篇22011研究生学位英语考试真题及答案解析The Graduate School English Test (GRE) is an important examination that many students have to take in order to pursue advanced degrees in various fields. In 2011, the GRE exam had a specific format and set of questions that challenged the test takers' language skills and comprehension abilities. In this article, we will provide an overview of the 2011 GRE exam, as well as offer detailed explanations for the answers to some of the questions.The 2011 GRE exam consisted of three main sections: Verbal Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing. The Verbal Reasoning section focused on assessing the test takers' ability to understand and analyze written passages, while the Quantitative Reasoning section tested their math skills. The Analytical Writing section required students to write two essays based on provided prompts.One of the questions from the Verbal Reasoning section in the 2011 GRE exam presented a passage about the importance of biodiversity in maintaining ecological balance. The question asked test takers to identify the main idea of the passage and choose the best possible answer. The correct answer was "B" which stated that biodiversity is crucial for the health of ecosystems.In the Quantitative Reasoning section, students encountered questions that tested their ability to solve math problems and apply mathematical concepts. One question in this section asked test takers to calculate the percentage of a certain number in relation to another number. The correct answer was determined by dividing the first number by the second number and multiplying the result by 100.In the Analytical Writing section, students had to write two essays that demonstrated their ability to think critically and express their ideas clearly. One of the prompts asked students to discuss the pros and cons of social media in society. Test takers were required to provide examples and evidence to support their arguments and present a well-structured essay.In conclusion, the 2011 GRE exam was a challenging test that assessed students' language skills, math abilities, and criticalthinking skills.

Studying past GRE exams and practicing with sample questions can help students improve their test-taking abilities and increase their chances of success in the exam.篇32011研究生学位英语考试真题及答案解析Introduction:The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a standardized test that is required for admission to most graduate schools in the United States. It measures verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical writing skills that have been acquired over a long period of time and that are not related to any specific field of study. In this document, we will take a look at the 2011 GRE exam, including sample questions and answer explanations to help you better prepare for the test.Verbal Reasoning Section:1. Sentence Equivalence:- Sample question: The author's writing style was so ________ that it was difficult to follow his arguments.- Options: A) convoluted B) lucid C) concise D) verbose E) ambiguous F) meticulous- Answer: A) convoluted- Explanation: The correct answer is convoluted because it means intricate or difficult to follow, which is the opposite of lucid (clear) and concise (succinct).2. Text Completion:- Sample question: The politician's speech was filled with empty promises and ________ rhetoric that failed to resonate with the audience.- Options: A) sincere B) insincere C) blunt D) persuasive E) ineffective- Answer: B) insincere- Explanation: The correct answer is insincere because it fits the context of the sentence, which is negative and suggests that the rhetoric was not genuine.Quantitative Reasoning Section:1. Multiple Choice:- Sample question: If a car travels at a speed of 60 miles per hour, how far will it have traveled in 3 hours?- Options: A) 100 miles B) 120 miles C) 140 miles D) 160 miles E) 180 miles- Answer: E) 180 miles- Explanation: The correct answer is E) 180 miles because you can calculate this by multiplying the speed (60 miles per hour) by the time (3 hours).2. Numeric Entry:- Sample question: What is the value of 2(x + 3) when x = 5?- Answer: 16- Explanation: The correct answer is 16 because you substitute x = 5 into the equation to get 2(5 + 3) = 2(8) = 16.Analytical Writing Section:1. Argument Essay:- Sample question: The following appeared in a memo from the director of marketing at Dura-Sock, a small company that makes athletic socks:"Our marketing department recently conducted a survey of consumers in our target market, and we found that over 80% of respondents agreed that Dura-Sock is the most durable and comfortable sock on the market. Therefore, we should increase our advertising budget to capitalize on this positive perception and increase our market share."- Answer: This argument is flawed because it relies onself-reported data from a biased sample of consumers and does not provide any evidence to support the claim that increasing the advertising budget will lead to a significant increase in market share.2. Issue Essay:- Sample question: "It is more important for students to study history and literature than it is for them to study science and mathematics."- Answer: While studying history and literature is important for developing critical thinking and communication skills, studying science and mathematics is crucial for understanding the world around us and solving complex problems. Therefore, both areas of study are equally important for a well-rounded education.Conclusion:In conclusion, the 2011 GRE exam tested students on a range of skills, including verbal reasoning, quantitative reasoning, and analytical writing. By practicing sample questions and reviewing answer explanations, students can better prepare for the test and improve their chances of success. Remember to study consistently and seek help from tutors or study materials to enhance your performance on the exam. Good luck!。
