"or" I really don't feel comfortable talking ab out this．"Don't say "I don't know"Practice being honest on the simple things．Abraham Lincoln became famous for going to great lengths to return a few cen ts that did not belong to him，hence the nickname" Honest Abe"．By applying honesty to th e little things，you will get in the habit of being honest in general．5．What's the author's attitude towards becoming honest? A．Optimistic．B．Pessimistic．C．Skeptical．D．Unconce rned．6．What does the underlined word “reinforce” in paragraph 1 mean?A．show B．strengthen C．express D．weak 7．What's the author's main purpose of writing the text? A．To encourage people to be honest．B．To arouse readers 'interest in being famous．C．To call on people to learn from Abraham Lincoln．D．To advice us to say sorry to the person we lied to．8．Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A．Challenge YourselfB．No Need to Lie to OthersC．Honesty is the Best PolicyD．Little Things Can Make a BigDifference．CA great invention by an 18-year-old high school student grew out of a simple problem most tee nagers meet with.“I'm a teenager and I have a cell phone and my cell phone bat tery always dies，so I was really looking for a way to improve energy storage,”Eesha Khare said on Tuesday. “That's how I came across the super capacitor.”The teenager who came from California, and graduated from high school last week，won a $50，000 prize on May 17，2013 at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair fo r creating a device that can store enough energy to charge a cell phone in 20 to 30 seconds.“It charges very quickly and can store a lot of ener gy,” Khare said. “The cool thing is that it's a lot thinner than one strand of hair.”Khare hasn't used her invention to recharge a cell phone yet ，but she used it to power a light-emitting diode (LED) in order to show its capability(容量). If used on cell phones, the supercharger would slide on to the phone's battery to juice it up in a matter of seconds. The t echnology isn't available to consumers yet，and it could be years until it is.At an Intel event in Phoenix，Khare won the Intel Foundation Young Scientist Award，taking second place overall in the world's largest high school science research competition. She beat out more than 1, 600 finalists from 70 countries. She said that she has been approa ched by several companies to continue her research, but she is now focused on attending in autumn.“Right now, just my education，but hopefully we'll see what happens in the future,” she said a bout her plans. “I have a lot of interests，so we'll see what I do in the future.”9. The passage starts with ________．A．what problem most teenagers meet with in lifeB．how Khare helped others with their problemsC．why Khare decided to make the inventionD．how teenagers make use of their cell phones10. According to the passage, Khare ________．A．was most probably born in 1995B．will graduate from high schoolC．will donate much of her prizeD．is the first teenager to win such a big prize11. The super capacitor ________．A．is as thin as a hairB．can produce enough energy soonC．has been popular on the marketD．has not been put in use in daily lifeDClimate change will force exhausted birds migrating to Europe from Africa to travel further, with possibly disastrous consequ ences, according to a study.The annual voyage of some species, which fly north insearch of food and suitable habitats, could increase by as m uch as 400 kilometers (250 miles), the research found. “Marat hon migrations for some birds are set to become even longer,” said Stephen Willis, a professor at Durham University in an d the main architect of the study. “This is bad news for birds li ke the White throat, a common farmland bird. The added dista nce is a considerable threat. As temperatures rise and habitat s change, birds will face their biggest challenge since the Pleistocene era (更新世), which ended 11,000 years ago,” he said in a statement. Some 500 million birds migrate each year from Africa, some weighing as little as nine grams (three-tenths of an ounce). To complete a voyage that can be thousa nds of kilometers long, birds have to fatten themselves up to t wice their normal weight. Some even shrink their internal organs (收缩内脏) to become more fuel efficient, so any additional distance may be dangerous.The study finds that from 2007 to 2010, nine out of 17 species examined are going to face longer migrations, particularly bir ds that cross the . Some birds travel the Sahara and the Medi terranean Sea in a one go, while others have a break in north ern Africa before crossing. Many fly at night, when temperatur es are cooler.A few — such as the Blackcap — have started to adapt by sp ending winters in Britain, but such behavior remains exception al, the study said. The study forecasts that the migration dista nce of the Orphean Warbler will jump from 2,700 kilometers (1,700 miles) to between 3,050 an d 3,350 kilometers (1,900 and 2,100 miles), with even longer i ncreases for the Subalpine and Barred Warblers.12. Whatdoes traveling extra distance mean for some migrating birds?A. Better living conditions.B. Better physical health.C. Stronger ability to fly.D. Bigger threat to life.13. To complete the marathon migrations, some birds have to do the following except ______.A. have a break in the SaharaB. put on more weightC. reduce the size of internal organsD. fly at night to avoid the heat14. What can we infer from the text?A. Birds have to migrate from Africa to Europe in winter.B. Global warming is bad for all birds worldwide.C. Birds that are of small size don’t need to migrate.D. Some birds have to migrate unless they adapt to climate c hange.15. What’s the best title of the text?A. Climate change leads to disastrous consequenceB. The annual voyage of some speciesC. How birds migrate for longer distancesD. Climate change pushes birds to migrate farther第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The deman ds of my work and my three children had made it possible to v isit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie. She thought about it for a moment , and then agreed.That Friday after work, I drove over to pick her up. When I arri ved at her house, I noticed that she had curled her hair and w as wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary. She smiled from a face that was as bea utiful as an angel’s.We went to a very nice and comfortable restaurant. After we s at down, I had to read the menu. A smile was on her lips. “It w as I who used to have to read the menu when you were a chil d”, she said. “Then it’s time that you should relax and let me r eturn the favor,” I responded.During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation----nothing special but catching up onrecent events of each other’s life. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, “I’ll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.” I a greed.A few days later my mother died of an uncontemplated heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance todo anything for her. At that moment I understood the importan ce of saying in time “I LOVE YOU” and to give our loved ones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life is more important th an your family.

At 6:15 the next morning, my alarm cloc k rang. Unwilling to rise from my bed, I turned it off and went b ack to sleep. However, 5 minutes later, I struggled to get up. After washing and brushing, I had my sneakers on and went o ut.Wow! The air was so fresh that I couldn't help breathing it d eeply. I stretched my arms and legs, then started to run. I fou nd all things around me were so attractive. Look, the branche s were waving, as if they were welcoming me; the blossoming flowers were bowing, with shyness, just like girls. Listen, the wind was whispering, as if to say “come on, girl”. What's more interesting was those two birds, perching in the tree. They we re scared and flew away when I passed them. “Hey, chaps, re lax.” I shouted without stopping running. “Let's enjoy the beau tiful morning together!” Then miracle（奇迹） happened. The two little creatures seemed to understan d what I said. They turned back and twittered（吱吱叫） around me. “Are you singing for me?” I asked. They twitt ered again and again, sounded like “Yes”. I was delighted to h ear that. Ah, what a wonderful morning and how beautiful life i s!Actually, there are a lot of charming things around us. Hele n Keller wrote in her famous article Three Days to See, “The s eeing see little”. Indeed, many of us ignore the beauty around us, just because we are familiar with them.

Although these problems often have a bad effete on them, as when people call or drop in, we usua lly contribute to them. We fail to have calls screened by a skillf ul secretary or assistant, or we leave our door open, actually assuring constant interruptions.In almost all cases, it is possible to influence, if not control, it usually can cause problems, such as, slowness and indecisio n, lack of self-discipline, the inability to delegate, or the tendency to fight fire s, to act without thinking, and to jump from task to task withou t finishing any of them.Time is constant that cannot be changed. The clock cannot b e slowed down or speeded up. Thus we cannot manage time itself. We can only manage our activities with respect to time. The same skills are needed as those used in managing other s—the abilities to plan, organize, delegate, direct, and control. Ti me management is simply self-management. It is impossible to be effective in any position wi thout controlling one’s time effectively.Successful time management does not mean working harder, but working smarter.

AElizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling.In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea.Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the first woman physician and founding her own hospital, she also set up the first medical school for women. 1. Why couldn’t Elizabeth Blackwell realize her dream of becoming a surgeon?A. She couldn’t get admitted to medical schoolB. She decided to further her education in ParisC. A serious eye problem stopped herD. It was difficult for her to start a practice in the United States2. What main obstacle(障碍) almost destroyed Elizabeth’s chances for becoming a doctor?A. She was a woman.B. She wrote too many letters.C. She couldn’t graduate from medical school.D. She couldn’t set up her hospital.3. How many years passed between her graduation from medical school and the opening ofher hospital?A. Eight yearsB. Ten yearsC. Nineteen yearsD. Thirty-six years4. According to the passage, all of the following are “firsts” in the life of ElizabethBlackwell, except that she ______.A. became the first woman physicianB. was the first woman doctorC. and several other women founded the first hospital for women and childrenD. set up the first medical school for women5. Elizabeth Blackwell spent most of her life in _______.A. EnglandB. ParisC. the United StatesD. New York CityBHave you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy.Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.Do you know what a “territory” is? A territory is an area that an animal, u sually the male, claims (声称) as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome. Your house is your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.If so, you have actually frightened the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting (筑巢) season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird’s song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.6. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird’s singing is ac tually ________.A. an expression of happinessB. a way of warningC. an expression of angerD. a way of greeting7. What is a bird’s “territory”?A. A place where families of other species are not accepted.B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.C. An area for which birds fight against each other.D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.8. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?A. Because they want to invite more friends.B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.C. Because they want to find outsiders around.D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.9. How does the writer explain birds’ singing?A. By comparing birds with human beings.B. By reporting experiment results.C. By describing birds’ daily life.D. By telling a bird’s story.10. What does the underline word “screaming” in paragraph 4 mean?A. 哭喊声B. 令人惊愕的C. 尖叫声D. 尖叫的CAmericans like to visit the national parks. In 1996, over 250,000,000 people visited areas which are managed by the National Park Service. Experts say that by 2012, 500,000,000 people per year will visit the parks. As a result, people are trying to think of ways to protect the parks from the crowds.The crowding of the parks has caused several problems. One is that there is not enough space for all of the people who want to use the parks. To deal with this problem, you may have to book your tickets a few months ahead of time. The Park Service may also raise entrance fees (费) .Another problem caused by increased park use is pollution. Some garbage and waste can be cleaned up, and the cleanup can be paid for by increased entrance fees. To cut down on noise pollution and air pollution, the number of cars allowed in parks may be limited. If this happens, people may use buses to travel around the parks. Officials may also limit the use of jet-skis, snow-mobiles, motor-boats, and sightseeing helicopters and planes.The parks may also be in danger because of development that is going on around them. For example, around Yellow Stone Park, many hotels, golf courses, resorts, and other tourist attractions have been built. Some of these developments have effect on areas that are used by animals. People will have to learn to agree about ways to protect the parks. If they do not, there will soon be no reason to visit these national treasures.11. According to experts, by 2012 the number of visitors ______.A. may be doubledB. may be the same as beforeC. will reach 250 millionD. will decrease12. Which of the following is true according to the text?A. Visitors will pay less than before.B. The parks are not big enough to hold all visitors.C. Visitors may not necessarily buy tickets ahead of time.D. Only buses are allowed to enter the parks.13. Entrance fees may be increased _______.A. because the National Park Service are short of moneyB. only for the development of the national parksC. to protect the animalsD. mainly to limit the number of visitors14. What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word “limited” in Paragraph 3?A. Enlarged.B. Admitted.C. Controlled.D. Concerned.15. What can be inferred from the passage?A. High fees may probably keep some people out of parks.B. Helicopters and planes will not be used in parks any longer.C. The bus will become the only tool in parks in order to cut down pollution.D. National Park Service will always welcome as many visitors as possible.第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共70分）注意：将答案写在答题卡上。

He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains one of his most famous works.George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he might have still written.16. Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________ .A．written about New Yorkers B．Composed for Paul WhitemanC．played mainly in the countryside D．performed in various ways17. What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?A．He created one of his best works B．He studied with Nadia BoulangerC．He argued with French critics D．He changed his music style18. What do we learn from the last paragraph?A．Many of Gershwin’s works were lostB．The death of Gershwin was widely reportedC．A concert was held in memory of GershwinD．Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.19. Which of the following best describes Gershwin?A．Talented and productive B．Serious and boringC．popular and unhappy D．Friendly and honestBYou can't always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn't think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That's why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain－sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞篷)built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard－looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built－in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there's also a 360° motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed(安装) at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.20. For what purpose did Belyaev create the Lampbrella?A. To predict a heavy rain.B. To check the weather forecast.C. To protect people from the rain.D. To remind people to take an umbrella.21. What do we know from Belyaev's words in Paragraph 2?A. His creation was inspired by an experience.B. It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C. Street lamps are protected by canopies.D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain. 22. Which of the following shows how the Lampbrella works?A. motor→canopy→ sensorsB. sensors→motor→ canopyC. motor→sensors→ canopyD. canopy→motor→ sensorsCThe number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.23. What would be the best title for this passage?A. The Difficulties of Learning EnglishB. International CommunicationsC. The Standard Varieties of EnglishD. English as a World Language24. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Some 260 million people in the world have an adequate working knowledge of English.B. There are some 260 million native speakers of English in the world.C. It is almost impossible to estimate the number of people with an adequate working knowledge of English.D. People learn English for a variety of reasons.25. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?A. It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.B. It is used in former British colonies.C. It serves the needs of its native speakers.D. It is a world language that is used for international communication.七选五阅读短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

英语翻译二级笔译实务真题2018年11月及答案解析(1/2)Section ⅠEnglish-Chinese TranslationTranslate the following two passages into Chinese.Part A Compulsory Translation第1题You’ve temporarily misplaced your cell phone and anxiously retrace your steps to try to find it. Or perhaps you never let go of your phone—it´s always in your hand, your pocket, or your bag, ready to be answered or consulted at a moment’s notice. When your battery life runs down at the end of the day, you feel that yours is running low as well. New rese arch shows that there’s a psychological reason for such extreme phone dependence: According to the attachment theory, for some of us, our phone serves the same function as the teddy bear we clung to in childhood.Attachment theory proposes that our early life experiences with parents responsible for our well-being, are at the root of our connections to the adults with whom we form close relationships. Importantly, attachment in early life can extend to inanimate objects. Teddy bears, for example, serve a s “transitional objects.” The teddy bear, unlike the parent, is always there. We extend our dependence onparents to these animals, and use them to help us move to an independent sense of self.A cell phone has the potential to be a “compensatory attachment” object. Although phones are often castigated for their addictive potential, scientists cite evidence that supports the idea that “healthy, normal adults also report significant emotional attachment to special objects.”Indeed, cell phones have become a pervasive feature of our lives: The number of cell phone users exceeds the total population of the planet. The average amount of mobile or smartphone use in the U.S. is 3.3 hours per day. People also like to be near their phones: A 2013 survey cited by the Hungarian team. Nearly as many people report being distressed when they’re separated from their phone.Phones have distinct advantages. They can be kept by your side and they provide a social connection to the people you care about. Even if you’re no t talking to your friends, lover, or family, you can keep their photos close by, read their messages, and follow them on social media. You can track them in real time but also look back on memorable moments together. These channels help you “feel less alone”.________下一题(2/2)Section ⅠEnglish-Chinese TranslationTranslate the following two passages into Chinese.Part A Compulsory Translation第2题Many countries have adopted the principle of sustainable development it can combat gaginst environment deterioration in air quality, water quality and ...viable role for every member in the world.. production .health education in developing countries. But some argue that it´s a vague idea, some organizations may use it in it´s own interests, whether environmental or economic is the nature of interests. Others argue that sustainable development in developing countries overlook the local customs,habitude and people.Whereas interdependence is desirable during times of peace, war necessitates competition and independence. Tariffs and importation limits strengthen a country´s economic vitality while potentially weakening the economies of its enemies. Moreover, protectionism in the weapons industry is highly desirable during such circumstances because reliance on another state forarmaments can be fatal.For the most part, economists emphasize the negative effects of protectionism. It reduces international trade and raises prices for consumers. In addition, domestic firms that receive protection have less incentive to innovate. Although free trade puts uncompetitive firms out of business, the displaced workers and resources are ultimately allocated to other areas of the economy.Imposing quotas is a method used to protect trade, since foreign companies cannot ship more products regardless of how low they set their prices. Countries that hope to help a new industry thrive locally often impose quotas on imported goods. They believe that such restrictions allow entities in the new industry to develop their own competitive advantages and produce the products efficiently. Developing countries often use this argument to justify their restrictions on foreign goods.Protectionism’s purpose is usually to create jobs for domestic workers. Companies that operate in industries protected by quotas hire workers locally. Another disadvantage of quotas is the reduction in the quality of products in the absence of competition from foreign companies. Without competition, local firms are less likely to invest in innovation and improve their products and services. Domestic sellers don’t have an incentive to enhance efficiency and lower their prices, and under such conditions, consumers eventually pay more for products and services they could receive from foreign competitors. As local companies lose competitiveness, they become pressured to outsource jobs. In the long-run, increasing protectionism commonly leads to layoffs and economic slowdown.________上一题下一题(1/2)Section ⅡChinese-English TranslationTranslate the following two passages into English.Part A Compulsory Translation第3题人类在漫长发展进程中创造了丰富多彩的世界文明，中华文明是世界文明多样性、多元化的重要组成部分。

第一部分阅读理解考点8 议论说理类一、(2018年全国卷Ⅰ)CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years，but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going．When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers，small，tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other．Some language experts believe that 10，000 years ago，when the world had just five to ten million people，they spoke perhaps 12，000 languages between them．Soon afterwards，many of those people started settling down to become farmers，and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number．In recent centuries，trade，industrialisation．the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education．especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades，all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English．Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over．At present，the world has about 6 800 languages．The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven．The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages．often spoken by many people，while hot，wet zones have lots，often spoken by small numbers．Europe has only around 200 languages；the Americas about 1，000．Africa 2,400；and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3，200，of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800．The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000，which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that．Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡)，with only a few elderly speakers left．Pick，at random，Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers)，Chiapaneco in Mexico(150)．Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one，with a question-mark)：none of these seems to have much chance of survival．28．What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A．They developed very fast．B．They were large in number．C．They had similar patters．D．They were closely connected29．Which of the following best explains "dominant " underlined in paragraph 2？A．Complex．B．Advanced．C．Powerful．D．Modem．30．How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present?A．About 6, 800 B．About 3,400 C．About 2,400 D．About 1,200 31．What is the main idea of the text?A．New languages will be created．B．People’s lifestyles are reflected in languagesC．Human development results in fewer languagesD．Geography determines language evolution．二、(2018年全国卷Ⅱ)CTeens and younger children are reading a lot less for fun, according to a Common Sense Media report published Monday．While the decline over the past decade is steep for teen readers, some data in the report shows that reading remains a big part of many children’s li ves, and indicates how parents might help encourage more reading．According to the report’s key findings, “the proportion (比例) who say they ‘hardly ever’ read for fun has gone from 8 percent of 13-year-olds and 9 percent of 17-year-olds in 1984 to 22 percent and 27 percent respectively today．”The report data shows that pleasure reading levels for younger children, ages 2-8, remain largely the same．But the amount of time spent in reading each session has declined, from closer to an hour or more to closer to a half hour per session．When it comes to technology and reading, the report does little to counsel(建议) parents looking for data about the effect of e-readers and tablets on reading．It does point out that many parents still limit electronic reading, mainly due to concerns about increased screen time．The most hopeful data shared in the report shows clear evidence of parents serving as examples and important guides for their kids when it comes to reading．Data shows that kids and teens who do read frequently, compared to infrequent readers, have more books in the home, more books purchased for them, parents who read more often, and parents who set aside time for them to read．As the end of school approaches, and school vacation reading lists loom(逼近) ahead, parents might take this chance to step in and make their own summer reading list and plan a family trip tothe library or bookstore．28．What is the Common Sense Media report probably about?A．Children’s reading habits．B．Quality of children’s books．C．Children’s after-class activities．D．Parent-child relationships．29．Where can you find the data that best supports "children are reading a lot less for fun"?A．In paragraph 2．B．In paragraph 3．C．In paragraph 4．D．In paragraph 5．30．Why do many parents limit electronic reading?A．E-books are of poor quality．B．It could be a waste of time．C．It may harm children’s health．D．E-readers are expensive．31．How should parents encourage their children to read more?A．Act as role models for them．B．Ask them to write book reports．C．Set up reading groups for them．D．Talk with their reading class teachers．三、(2018年全国卷Ⅲ)DAdults understand what it feels like to be flooded with objects．Why do we often assume that more is more when it comes to kids and their belongings? The good news is that I can help my own kids learn earlier than I did how to live more with less．I found the pre-holidays a good time to encourage young children to donate less-used things, and it worked．Because of our efforts, our daughter Georgia did decide to donate a large bag of toys to a little girl whose mother was unable to pay for her holiday due to illness．She chose to sell a few larger objects that were less often used when we promised to put the money into her school fund(基金）(our kindergarten daughter is serious about becoming a doctor)For weeks, I've been thinking of bigger, deeper questions：How do we make it a habit for them? And how do we train ourselves to help them live with, need, and use less? Yesterday, I sat with my son, Shepherd, determined to test my own theory on this．I decided to play with him with only one toy for as long as it would keep his interest．I expected that one toy would keep his attention for about five minutes, ten minutes, max．I chose a red rubber ball-simple, universally available．We passed it, he tried to put it in his mouth, he tried bouncing it, rolling it, sitting on it, throwing it．It was totally, completely enough for him．Before I knew it an hour had passed and it was time to move on to lunch．We both became absorbed in the simplicity of playing together．He had my full attention and I had his．My little experiment to find joy in a single object worked for both of us．32．What do the words “more is more” in paragraph 1 probably mean?A．The more, the better．B．Enough is enough．C．More money, more worries．D．Earn more and spend more．33．What made Georgia agree to sell some of her objects?A．Saving up for her holiday B．Raising money for a poor girlB．Adding the money to her fund D．Giving the money to a sick mother 34．Why did the author play the ball with Shepherd?A．To try out an idea B．To show a parent's loveC．To train his attention D．To help him start a hobby35．What can be a suitable title for the text?A．Take It or Leave It B．A Lesson from KidsC．Live More with Less D．The Pleasure of Giving四、(2018年天津卷)DGive yourself a test．Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you’ll have no trouble answering these questions．Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults．A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder．Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness．But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear；we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas．Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits．The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs．This blocks awareness．One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream．The students began complaining about how cold it would be．We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead．They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring．Later they all admitted they’d felt cold water at first．Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things．I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off．They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing．The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness．I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant campground with just enough time to get there before dark．It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what’s around them．I asked them what they’d seen．"Oh, a few birds," they said．They seemed bent on their destinations．Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait．Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations．Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life．51．According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more ______．A．anxious to do wonders B．sensitive to others’ feelingsC．likely to develop unpleasant habits D．eager to explore the world around them 52．What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A．To avoid jumping to conclusions．B．To stop complaining all the time．C．To follow the teacher’s advice．D．To admit mistakes honestly．53．The bird watchers’ behavior shows that they __________．A．are very patient in their observation B．are really fascinated by natureC．care only about the names of birds D．question the accuracy of the field guides 54．Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A．The natural beauty isn’t attractive to them．B．They focus on arriving at the camp in time．C．The forest in the dark is dangerous for them．D．They are keen to see rare birds at the destination．55．In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________．A．fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB．get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC．open our mind to new things and ideasD．try our best to protect nature五、(2017年11月浙江卷)BIt's surprising how much simple movements of the body can affect the way we think．Using expansive gestures with open arms makes us feel more powerful，crossing your arms makes you more determined and lying down can bring more insights(领悟)．So if moving the body can have these effects，what about the clothes we wear? We're all well aware of how dressing up in different ways can make us feel more attractive，sporty or professional，depending on the clothes we wear，but can the clothes actually change cognitive(认知的) performance or is it just a feeling?Adam and Galinsky tested the effect of simply wearing a white lab coat on people's powers of attention．The idea is that white coats are associated with scientists，who are in turn thought to have close attention to detail．What they found was that people wearing white coats performed better than those who weren't．Indeed，they made only half as many errors as those wearing their own clothes on the Stroop Test (one way of measuring attention)．The researchers call the effect “ enclothed cognition”，suggesting that all manner of different clothes probably affect our cognition in many different ways．This opens the way for all sorts of clothes-based experiments．Is the writer who wears a fedora more creative? Is the psychologist wearing little round glasses and smoking a cigar more insightful? Does a chef’s hat make the resultant food taste better?From now on I will only be editing articles for PsyBlog while wearing a white coat to help keep the typing error count low．Hopefully you will be doing your part by reading PsyBlog in a cap and gown(学位服)．25．What is the main idea of the text?A．Body movements change the way people think．B．How people dress has an influence on their feelings．C．What people wear can affect their cognitive performance．D．People doing different jobs should wear different clothes．26．Adam and Galinsky’s experiment tested the effect of clothes on their wearers' A．insights B．movements C．attention D．appearance27．How does the author sound in the last paragraph?A．Academic．B．Humorous．C．Formal．D．Hopeful．六、（2017浙江）FLORENCE，Italy—Svetlana Cojochru feels hurt．The Moldovan has lived here seven years as a caregiver to Italian kids and the elderly，but in order to stay she’s ha d to prove her language skills by taking a test which requires her to write a postcard to an imaginary friend and answer a fictional job ad．Italy is the latest Western European country trying to control a growing immigrant(移民) population by demanding language skills in exchange for work permits，or in some cases，citizenship．Some immigrant advocates worry that as hard financial times make it more difficult for natives to keep jobs，such measures will become more a vehicle for intolerance than integration(融合)．Others say it’s only natural that newcomers learn the language of their host nation，seeing it as a condition to ensure they can contribute to society．Other European countries laid down a similar requirement for immigrants，and some terms are even tougher．The governments argue that this will help foreigners better join the society and promote understanding across cultures．Italy，which has a much weaker tradition of immigration，has witnessed a sharp increase in immigration in recent years．In 1990，immigrants numbered some 1．14 million out of Italy’s then 56．7 million people，or about 2 percent．At the start of this year，foreigners living in Italy amounted to 4．56 million of a total population of 60．6 million，or 7．5 percent，with immigrants’ children ac counting for an even larger percentage of births in Italy．Cojochru，the Moldovan caregiver，hoped obtaining permanent residence(居住权) would help her bring her two children to Italy；they live with her sister in Moldova，where salaries are among the lowest in Europe．She was skeptical that the language requirement would encourage integration．Italians always “see me as a foreigner，” an outsider，even though she’s stayed in the country for years and can speak the local language fluently，she said．28．Why does Cojochru have to take a language test?A．To continue to stay in Italy．B．To teach her children Italian．C．To find a better job in Italy．D．To better mix with the Italians．29．Some people worry that the new language requirement may ________．A．re duce Italy’s population quickly B．cause conflicts among peopleC．lead to financial difficulties D．put pressure on schools30．What do we know about Cojochru?A．She lives with her sister now in Italy．B．She enjoys learning the Italian language．C．She speaks Italian well enough for her job．D．She wishes to go back to her home country．七、（2017天津）DI read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting．But where are we doing all of this waiting，and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue，let’s take a look at three types of “waits”．The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait．It is without doubt the most annoying of all．Take filling up the kitchen sink(洗碗池) as an example．There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it’s full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks．This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless．A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait．This one requires a bit of discipline．Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait．Directions are very specific．“Bring three cups of water to boil，add mix，simmer three minutes，remove from heat，let stand five minutes．”I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly．After all，Forced Waiting requires patience．Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait．This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary．Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen．Turning one’s life into a waiting game requires faith and hope，and is strictly for the optimists among us．On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes，but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it．As long as one doesn’t come to relyon it，wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody．We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting．The next time you’re standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you’ll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky，don’t be desperate．You’re probably just as busy as the next guy．51．While doing a Watched-Pot Wait，we tend to ___________．A．keep ourselves busy B．get absent-mindedC．grow anxious D．stay focused52．What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait?\ A．The Forced Wait requires some self-control．B．The Forced Wait makes people passive．C．The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions．D．The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain．53．What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait?A．It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait．B．It doesn’t always bring the desired result．C．It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait．D．It doesn’t give people faith and hope．54．What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting?A．Take it seriously．B．Don’t rely on others．C．Do something else．D．Don’t lose heart．55．The author supports his view by _________．A．exploring various causes of “waits”．B．describing detailed processes of “waits”．C．analyzing different categories of “waits”D．revealing frustrating consequences of “waits”八、(2016全国卷Ⅰ)Grandparents Answer a CallAs a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never pleased move away, Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help their children, she politely refused．Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms．Garza finally say yes．That wasfour years ago．Today all three generations regard the move to a success，giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities．No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to the children and grandchildren．Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing．Even President Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and into the White House to help care for her granddaughters．According to a study grandparents com．83 percent of the people said Mrs．Robinson ‘s decision will influence the grandparents in the American family．Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family．“in the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,”says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents．We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raining children．”Moving is not for everyone．Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead．Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder．25．Why was Garza’s move a success?A．It strengthened her family ties．B．It improved her living conditions．C．It enabled her make more friends．D．It helped her know more new places．26．What was the reaction of the public to Mrs．Robinson’s decision?A．17% expressed their support for it．B．Few people responded sympathetically．C．83% believed it had a bad influence．D．The majority thought it was a trend．27．What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?A．They were unsure of raise more children．B．They were eager to raise more children．C．They wanted to live away from their parents．D．They bad little respect for their grandparent．28．What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?A．Make decisions in the best interests' of their own．B．Ask their children to pay more visits to them．C．Sacrifice for their struggling children．D．Get to know themselves better．九、(2016北京)Why College Is Not HomeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity．However，now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence，during which many of today’s students and are not shouldered with adult responsibilities．For previous generations，college was decisive break from parental control；guidance and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within．In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cell phones，email and social media，have increased significantly．Some parents go so far as to help with coursework．Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility，universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home．To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility，college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation．This process involves “trying on” new ways of thinking about oneself both intellectually(在思维方面) and personally．While we should provide “safe spaces”within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views．Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning．Learning to deal with the social world is equally important．Because a college community(群体) differs from the family，many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging．If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior and thinking pattern，they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community．Moreover，the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults：the response to being controlled by their elders．If acceptable social behavior is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled，the insensitive or aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged．It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out，particularly when there arereasons to do so．Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency．What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world．Therefore，there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth．Every college discussion about community values，social climate and behavior should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation，of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery．67．What’s the author’s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?A．Sympathetic B．Disapproving C．Supportive D．Neutral 68．The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means ．A．change B．choice C．text D．extension 69．According to the author，what role should college play?A．To develop a shared identity among studentsB．To define and regulate students’ social behaviorC．To provide a safe world without tension for studentsD．To foster students’ intellectual and personal development70．Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?A． B．C． D．I：Introduction P：Point Sp：Sub-point C：Conclusion十、(2015湖南)56.

However, social changes are brought about by new technology are often mistaken for a change in attitudes.An example at hand is the involvement of parents in the lives of their children who areattending college. Surveys (调查) on this topic suggests that parents today continue to be “very” or “somewhat” overly-protective even after their children move into collegedormitories. The same surveys also indicate that the rate of parental involvement is greater today than it was a generation ago. This is usually interpreted as a sign that today’s parents are trying to manage their children’s lives past the point where this behavior isappropriate.However, greater parental involvement does not necessarily indicate that parents are failing to let go of their “adult” children.In the context (背景) of this discussion, it seems valuable to first find out the cause of change in the case of parents’ involvement with their grown children. If parents of earlier generations had wanted to be in touch with their college-age children frequently, would thishave been possible? Probably not. On the other hand, does the possibility of frequent communication today mean that the urge to do so wasn’t present a generation ago? Many studies show that older parents—today’s grandparents—would have called their children more often if the means and cost of doing so had not been a barrier.Furthermore, studies show that finances are the most frequent subject of communication between parents and their college children. The fact that college students are financially dependent on their parents is nothing new; nor are requests for more money to be sent from home. This phenomenon is neither good nor bad; it is a fact of college life, today and in the past.Thanks to the advanced technology, we live in an age of bettered communication. This has many implications well beyond the role that parents seem to play in the lives of their children who have left for college. But it is useful to bear in mind that all such changes come from the technology and not some imagined desire by parents to keep their children under their wings. 67．The surveys inform us of______.A．the development of technologyB．the changes of adult children’s behaviorC．the parents’ over-protection of their college childrenD．the means and expenses of students’ communication68．The writer believes that__________.A．parents today are more protective than those in the past。
