Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.The Nobel Prize is a mysterious incarnation of power and authority, an anointed ritual whose claims are accepted as part of the order of things. The Nobel Prize is at once a relic of the past and a self-admiring mirror of our democratized, scientized, secularized modern culture. After a century of existence, the Nobel has become a problematic part of modern history: it helps shape our perception of ourselves for better or worse.Like monarchy, the Nobel Prize surrounds itself with mystery and extraordinary secretiveness. Indeed, the media have more easily breached the privacy of the British royal family than that of the Nobel institution.The prizes present themselves as if handed down from eternity. But as even a cursory inspection will reveal, the juries that pick the laureates have often shown bias, lapses of judgment and bitter infighting. In the sciences, a number of quarrels, scandals, and even lawsuits have erupted over claims to priority or credit for collaborations honored by Nobles. And while widely admired, the science prizes have also been charged with swaying research goals and funding, however inadvertently, and more insidiously with corrupting scientific ambitions by the lure of Nobel fames. Such controversies, together with public dissent from several prizes, have been part of the Nobel history since its beginning. All prizes stir arguments; the Nobel´s fame simply magnifies this hugely.The very glory and stature of the Nobel Prizes prompt some sharp questions. Should such high endeavors of the human spirit as science, literature, and peace be treated as competitions, however exalted? Should these priceless efforts be paid the enormous, though "honorary," price lavished on the winners? Would it matter if there never had been a Nobel Price? Or if it vanished tomorrow? The problem is that the prices are not merely awards and medals but are aspects of power woven into our lives: it was once and future Nobelists who built the nuclear bombs that still hang fatefully over us; Nobelists now play an important part in public and military policy.It is also true that the Nobel Prizes show modern fame: the Nobel Prize pays honor to some of the highest human adventures in nature and matter, creativity and justice. Where else, moreover, can both the unfamed and the general public find a replacement for the authority and coherence, to whatever degree, the Nobel has come to possess? In a world and age as inwardly fractured as ours this is a question not lightly dismissed.第21题The Nobel has become a problematic part of modern history because ______.A.it reflects the modern world and results in many follow-up questionsB.it dismisses authority and coherenceC.the standard for the prize is unclear and arouses many questionsD.the prize cannot be seen as a driving force for social development第22题Which of the following statements is true about the Nobel Prize?A.The prizes need to be diversified.B.The prizes are unexpected to the winners.C.The prize manifests authority and coherence.D.Prejudice does not exist among the panel of judges any longer.第23题The author´s attitude towards Nobel Prize is______.A.ambiguousB.negativeC.objectiveD.critical第24题The word "fractured" (Line 5, Paragraph 4) probably imply that______.A.alienation is seen as one of the problems of modern worldB.people are stratified and separated by modern technologyC.the Nobel Prize is accepted by people from all walks of lifeD.the world is diversified and Nobel does not necessarily mean authority第25题Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.The Authority of NobelB.On the Glory of NobelC.Nobel and the Modern WorldD.A mirror of Modern Culture上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Psychologists have known for a century that individuals vary in their cognitive ability. But are some groups, like some people, reliably smarter than others? In order to answer that question, we grouped 697 volunteer participants into teams of two to five members. Each team worked together to complete a series of short tasks, which were selected to represent the varied kinds of problems that groups are called upon to solve in the real world. One task involved logical analysis, another brainstorming; others emphasized coordination, planning and moral reasoning. Individual intelligence, as psychologists measure it, is defined by its generality: People with good vocabularies, for instance, also tend to have good math skills, even though we often think of those abilities as distinct. The results of our studies showed that this same kind of general intelligence also exists for teams. On average, the groups that did well on one task did well on the others, too. In other words, some teams were simply smarter than others.We found the smartest teams were distinguished by three characteristics. First, their members contributed more equally to the team´s discussions, rather than letting one or two people dominate the group. Second, their members scored higher on a test called Reading the Mind in the Eyes, which measures how well people can read complex emotional states from images of faces with only the eyes visible. Finally, teams with more women outperformed teams with more men. This last effect, however, was partly explained by the fact that women, on average, were better at "mindreading" than men.In a new study, we replicated these earlier findings. We randomly assigned each of 68 teams to complete our collective intelligence test in one of two conditions. Half of the teams worked face to face. The other half worked online, with no ability to see any of their teammates. We wanted to see whether groups that worked online would still demonstrate collective intelligence, andwhether social ability would matter as much when people communicated purely by typing messages into a browser.And they did. Online and off, some teams consistently worked smarter than others. More surprisingly, the most important ingredients for a smart team remained constant regardless of its mode of interaction: members who communicated a lot, participated equally and possessed good emotion-reading skills.第26题It can be inferred from the first paragraph that______.A.some groups are really smarter than othersB.the 697 volunteer participants need to complete a series of short tasks togetherC.the selected short tasks must have practical significanceD.logical analysis and brainstorming are important in each task第27题According to psychologists, individual intelligence______.A.is characterized by generalityB.is related to math skillsC.is not related to teamsD.is key to smarter teams第28题According to the author, the characteristics of smarter teams include all the following EXCEPT ______.A.the members have relatively equal contribution to the team´ s discussionsB.the members have a higher IQC.the members have a stronger ability of reading complex facial expressionsD.there are more female members than other teams第29题In a new study, the other half of people work online because______.A.it´ s necessary to ensure the accuracy of the experimentB.online collaboration is becoming more and more importantC.the experimenters want to see whether collective intelligence will be showedD.the experimenters want to prove social ability is vital to every team第30题The best title for the passage may be______.A.How to Develop a Smarter TeamB.Why Some Teams Are Smarter Than OthersC.The Characteristics of Smarter TeamD.What Factors can Affect a Team上一题下一题(31~35/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Many of the tech industry´s biggest companies, like Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft, are jockeying to become the leader for artificial intelligence(A.I.). In the industry´s term, thecompanies are engaged in a "platform war."A platform, in technology, is essentially a piece of software that other companies build on and that consumers cannot do without. Become the platform and huge profits will follow. Microsoft dominated personal computers because its Windows software became the center of the consumer software world. Google has come to dominate the Internet through its ubiquitous search bar. If true believers in A.I. are correct that this long-promised technology is ready for the mainstream, the company that controls A.I. could steer the tech industry for years to come. "Whoever wins this race will dominate the next stage of the information age," said Pedro Domingos, a machine learning specialist and the author of "The Master Algorithm," a 2015 book that contends that A.I. and big-data technology will remake the world.In this fight—no doubt in its early stages—the big tech companies are engaged in tit-for-tat publicity stunts, circling the same start-ups that could provide the technology pieces they are missing and, perhaps most important, trying to hire the same brains. Fei-Fei Li, a Stanford University professor who is an expert in computer vision, said one of her Ph.D. candidates had an offer for a job paying more than $1 million a year, and that was only one of four from big and small companies.For years, tech companies have used man-versus-machine competitions to show they are making progress on A.I. In 1997, an IBM computer beat the chess champion Garry Kasparov. Five years ago, IBM went even further when its Watson system won a three-day match on the television trivia show "Jeopardy!" Today, Watson is the centerpiece of IBM´s A.I. efforts.By 2020, the market for machine learning applications will reach $40 billion, IDC, a market research firm, estimates. And 60 percent of those applications, the firm predicts, will run on the platform software of four companies—Amazon, Google, IBM and Microsoft. Intelligent software applications will become commonplace, said Jeff Dean, a computer scientist who oversees Google´s A.I. development. "And machine learning will touch every industry."第31题The reason for Microsoft controlling personal computers is that______.A.it has formed a good platformB.its software has gained a lot of moneyC.its Windows software became popular among consumersD.its software has been widely used in search bar第32题Google can steer the tech industry in the future on premise that______.A.it has controlled the InternetB.A.I. has prepared to be the mainstreamC.it has won in the information ageD.A.I. and big-data technology have become mature第33题The text takes "Fei-Fei Li" as an example in Paragraph 3 to show that______.A.the competition between tech companies is fierceB.the candidates from famous universities are more popularC.the higher the pay is, the more likely the candidate is to accept the offerD.perhaps tech companies are striving for the same talents第34题In which way the tech companies have used to show their progress?petitions between men and machines.B.Chess games. shows.D.The profitability of new products.第35题What´s the author´ s attitude towards the future of A.I.?A.Negative.B.Positive.C.Unclear.D.Indifferent.上一题下一题(36~40/共20题)Section ⅡReading ComprehensionDirections :Read the following four terts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B],[C]or [D].Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Some futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women, according to this hypothesis, would rather work than marry. The converse of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi -paycheck household could encourage marriages. In the past, only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now, however, the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to postpone marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy rebounds, the number of marriages also rises. Coincident with the increase in women working outside the home is the increase in divorce rates. Yet, it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife´ s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible. Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. Given high unemployment, inflationary problems, and slow growth in real earnings, a working wife can increase household income and relieve some of these pressing financial burdens. By raising a family´ s standard of living, a working wife may strengthen her family´ s financial and emotional stability. Psychological factors also should be considered. For example, a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand, if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home, work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.Also, a major part of women´s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that, in most cases, men have remained the main breadwinners. With higher earning capacity and status occupations outside of the home comes the Capacity to exercise power within the family. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reacts to these new conditions, it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.第36题The word "portend"(Sentence 1, Para. 1)is closest in meaning to "______".A.defyB.signalC.suffer fromD.result from第37题It is said in the passage that when the economy slides,______.A.men would choose working women as their marriage partnersB.more women would get married to seek financial securityC.even working women would worry about their marriagesD.more people would prefer to remain single for the time being第38题If women find fulfillment through work outside the home,______.A.they are more likely to dominate their marriage partnersB.their husbands are expected to do more houseworkC.their marriage ties can be strengthenedD.they tend to put their career before marriage第39题One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is that______.A.they feel that they have been robbed of their freedomB.they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbandsC.they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectationsD.they tend to suspect their husbands´ loyalty to their marriage第40题Which of the following statements can best summarize the author´s view in the passage?A.The stability of marriage and the divorce rate may reflect the economic situation of the country.B.Even when economically independent, most women have to struggle for real equality in marriage.C.In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home and remain independent.D.The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.上一题下一题(41~45/共5题)Part BDirections :Read the following tert and decide whether each of the statements is true or false. Choose T if the state ment is true or F if the statement is not true. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.[A]Think about how your attitude change will affect your life[B]Look for a role model[C]Be clear about your traits[D]Identify and understand what you want to change[E]Believe that you are able to change[F]Get rid of the pessimistic friends[G]Choose the right company"Our attitude toward life determines life´s attitude towards us." We´ve all heard about the power of our attitude, and that it´s our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.If you look around you, you will see that people with a positive attitude enjoy life more and are generally happier and more successful than those who walk around grumpy and pessimistic. Our attitude is the driving force in our lives—it can either push you to do great things or pull you down to your demise.All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry as there is always an opportunity for change. Let me share with you how I did it.__41__The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor. When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.__42__We all need to know that what we´re trying to accomplish can in fact be achieved; that we can be more optimistic, more social or more patient. Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.__43__To be able to overcome all the difficulties that lie ahead of you in your journey towards self betterment, you need to figure out exactly what this supposed change could bring to your life. Will changing your attitude mean a happier family or social life? Will a change in your attitude mean a more successful career or business? Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change and you will have a greater chance of reaching your goal.__44__As they say, "Bad company corrupts good character." You don´ t expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life. You will see that your effort to change will be easier with these kinds of people as friends.__45__Often, the greatest obstacle between us and our goals is ourselves or our inability to trust in what we are able to do. If you don´t believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won´t happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly so you won´t have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.It cannot be denied that a positive attitude is very important for living a successful and satisfying life, so it is only right to strive to have a positive attitude.第41题第42题第43题第44题第45题上一题下一题(1/1)Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. (10 points)第46题For a child, happiness has a magical quality. I remember making hide-outs in newly cut hay, playing cops and robbers in the woods,getting a speaking part in the school play. For adults, happiness is complicated. As far as I am concerned, happiness is "the capacity for enjoyment". The more we can enjoy what we have, the happier we are. It´ s easy to overlook the pleasure we get from loving and being loved, the company of friends, the freedom to live where we please, even good health.While happiness may be more complex for us, the solution is the same as ever. Happiness isn´t about what happens to us; it´ s about how we perceive what happens to us. It´ s the knack of finding a positive for every negative, and viewing a set-back as a challenge. It´ s not wishing for what we don´ t have, but enjoying what we do possess._____________上一题下一题(1/1)Section WritingPart A第47题Suppose you have damaged your friend´ s computer when you lived in his house a few days ago.

No reliable statistics show how many parents or schools use it, but the Positive Discipline Association, a non-profit that ran 18 training workshops in 2005, found itself running 51 in 2010. Doubters fear that positive really means permissive. Not so, says Maria Vannucci of the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago. The goal is to connect with a child, rather than simply barking “Shut up!”or “Go to your room!”For example, a child who is getting underfoot in the kitchen may need to feel involved and be given something to do, such as rolling pastry or folding napkins. One who has given up on his homework may need to have the task broken down.

这些应用软件，即智能手机中与工作相关的应用程序，已经改变了我们私生活的方式。

据报道，明年移动工作者的数量将超过13亿，这将为这一新兴产业创造巨大市场。

解析：1．第一段由两个分句组成。

分句间由分号相隔，但根据上下文可知，它们之间明显包含转折之意，故建议增译“然而”、“但是”这类表转折的连接词。

另外，为了使表达更地道，翻译时某些词语需好好斟酌。

比如，visit the toilet不能简单直译为“拜访厕所”，译成“上(去)厕所”即可；avoid doing work 译为“避开工作”显得生硬，建议可译成“偷懒”。

2．第二段第二句是个结构复杂的长句，翻译的关键是理清句子的结构关系。

该句主句的主干为Clever employers are now providing employees with task-specific apps。

主语employer有两个修饰成分：Clever和keen to make．．．anything to do，第二个修饰语很长，若将它全部套在“老板”前面作定语，会导致译文头重脚轻和表意不清。

此处建议拆分第二个修饰语，将obsessively tapping．．．anything to do独立成句，译作“一旦空下来，人们就会无节制地使用手机”，剩余部分则译作另一句，并用“这一习惯”指代上句所述行为，即译为“热衷于充分利用员工这一习惯的精明老板如今给职员们提供……”。

But there are also some disadvantages of a long holiday. In this section, you are asked to write an essay on a major advantage/disadvantage of a long holiday. You can take either stand and provide specific reasons and examples to support your idea. You should write at least 150 words.（分数：2.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ 正确答案：(正确答案： According to statistics, the average holidays Chinese enjoy are 115 days per year, ranking the 59th among the 65 countries surveyed. Given this figure, there is no doubt that Chinese people could be entitled to more holidays. But this does not mean that we should take a long holiday. A major disadvantage of a long holiday is that we would suffer the post-holiday syndrome. Post-holiday syndrome refers to the slackness and unwillingness to get back to work after a long holiday. Those who spend their week-long or even month-long holiday would have to take days to adjust themselves in order to fit into the working schedule. If we take only three days off, we would not develop a haphazard schedule and would still be able to recharge ourselves in a retreat. When the short holiday is over, we are energized and well prepared to work on schedule again. In conclusion, I think the post-holiday syndrome is a major disadvantage of a long holiday.I am convinced that two short 3-day holidays are better than one 6-day holiday.)解析：解析：本题要求考生对“长假期的一大优点或缺点”提出个人的意见。

考研英语二（作文）模拟试卷10(题后含答案及解析)全部题型 3. WritingSection III WritingPart BDirections: Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following information. (20 points)1．Write an essay based on the following chart. In your writing you should1) interpret the chart and2) give your comments. You should write at least 150 words. Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET 2.正确答案：As is depicted in the chart above, some important changes have taken place in terms of the average age of first marriage age in a big city in China. It increased from 22 in 1980 to 24 in 1990, and then soared to 27 in 2000. It is no difficult job for us to come up with some factors to account for these changes. At the top of the list, with the competition becoming increasingly fierce, more and more young people have changed their life style and they wish to embark on an ideal career before taking marriage into consideration. Therefore, marriage is no longer the single most important thing for the young. What’s more, many young people become more and more independent. They strive to find their ideal partners, and it usually takes longer time for both parties to adapt to each other. Thus they often delay their marriage. Taking into consideration what has been discussed so far, I think the change of marriage age is a clear reflection of fundamental social changes in the past years. When people are anxious to claim a higher and more independent life, they are likely to marry later. And it can be predicted that the present situation will continue for quite a while in the forthcoming years. 涉及知识点：作文2．Write an essay based on the following graph. In your writing you should1) describe the graph and2) give your comments. You should write at least 150 words. Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET 2.正确答案：As is clearly depicted in the graph above, some important changes have taken place in the past years with regard to the number of Internet users in China. In the late 1980s there were only several hundred users. But by 1998 the number hit 2. 1 million. Just one year later it rocketed to 8. 9 million. It is no difficult job for us to come up with some factors to illustrate these changes. In the first place, the huge amount of information on the Internet benefits the users. A few clicks of mouse will lead them to the information they want. Therefore, a lot of people regard the Internet as their sources of information. In the second place, the Internetfacilitates mutual communication. People in different countries or areas can discuss interesting topics via Internet without meeting each other. Talks over the Internet have transcended geographical barriers completely. Thus the number of Internet users increases sharply. Taking into account what has been discussed so far, one conclusion can be safely concluded that the present situation will continue for quite a while in the near future. But we should not ignore the side effects of Internet on children, who may indulge in it, or even visit pornographic websites. Therefore, proper measures need introducing to provide a healthy environment for all users. 涉及知识点：作文3．Write an essay based on the following charts. In your writing you should1) interpret the charts and2) give your comments. You should write about 150 words. Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET 2.正确答案：As is clearly described in the charts above, some important changes have taken place in terms of the causes of fire and the losses. The fire caused by smokers fell last year, but the losses increased. The fires caused by defective insulation went up, but the losses reduced. And the fires caused by children playing with matches kept the same, but the losses rose. It is of no difficulty for us to put forward some factors to account for these changes. In the first place, the general public have been aware of the seriousness of fire and begun to care more about the matter. Therefore, compared with the year before last, the number of fires caused by smokers last year was fewer, by children playing with matches almost the same, while by defective insulation more. In the second, the government has not implemented the laws strictly and the punishment has not been severe enough. Thus, the fire loss of last year was higher than that of the year before last on the whole even though the number of fires reduced. To the best of my understanding, we should take some positive and powerful actions to prevent the trend from getting worse. On the one hand, the government should improve the degree of implementing laws and punish severely those who break the laws. On the other hand, the general public should raise their consciousness and take precautions against fire. 涉及知识点：作文4．In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the following information. Make comments and express your own opinion. You should write about 150 words on the ANSWER SHEET 2. 现在上网阅读的人越来越多，人们可以更快地从网上读到新闻、找到他们所需要的信息或下载文学作品，于是社会上出现一种声音，认为网络将最终代替书刊报纸。

As can be seen, a large majority of the students, or 72%, complain that the heavy study load has prevented them from the reading. A further 16% of the students report that their parents are not supportive enough. 8% are not satisfied with the short opening hours of the library and its limited book collections, followed by the unaffordable book prices (4%). It is immediately evident that students are preoccupied with homework assignments, so much so that they could not even find some time to enjoy light reading. Burdened by the piles of test papers and exercise sheets, they would be too tired and disgusted to touch any book. To address this issue, teachers need to assign less work for students and return more freedom to them. To conclude, if given more time, students can explore the wondrous literary world and gain a broad horizon, which would be beneficial to their study eventually.)解析：解析：该图表显示了影响学生课外阅读的因素。

考研英语模拟试题二及答案解析word版篇1Text 4When a disease of epidemic proportions rips into the populace， scientists immediately get to work， trying to locate the source of the affliction and find ways to combat it. Oftentimes，success is achieved，as medical science is able to isolate the parasite， germ or cell that causes the problem and finds ways to effectively kill or contain it. In the most serious of cases， in which the entire population of a region or country may be at grave risk，it is deemed necessary to protect the entire population through vaccination，so as to safeguard lives and ensure that the disease will not spread.The process of vaccination allows the patients body to develop immunity to the virus or disease so that，if it is encountered， one can ward it off naturally. To accomplish this，a small weak or dead strain of the disease is actually injected into the patient in a controlled environment，so that his bodys immune system can learn to fight the invader properly. Information on how to penetrate the diseases defenses is transmitted to all elements of the patients immune system in a process that occurs naturally， in which genetic information is passed from cell to cell. This makes sure that， should the patientlater come into contact with the real problem， his body is well equipped and trained to deal with it， having already done so before.There are dangers inherent in the process，however. On occasion， even the weakened version of the disease contained in the vaccine proves too much for the body to handle， resulting in the immune system succumbing，and，therefore，the patients death. Such is the case of the smallpox vaccine，designed to eradicate the smallpox epidemic that nearly wiped out the entire Native American population and killed massive numbers of settlers. Approximately 1 in 10，000 people who receives the vaccine contract the smallpox disease from the vaccine itself and dies from it. Thus， if the entire population of the United States were to receive the Smallpox Vaccine today，3000 Americans would be left dead.Fortunately， the smallpox virus was considered eradicated in the early 1970s，ending the mandatory vaccination of all babies in America. In the event of a re-introduction of the disease，however，mandatory vaccinations may resume，resulting in more unexpected deaths from vaccination. The process， which is truly a mixed blessing， may indeed hide some hidden curses.36.The best title for the text may be?[A] “Vaccinations：A Blessing or A Curse”[B] “Principles of Vaccinations”[C] “Vaccines：Methods and Implications”[D] “A Miracle Cure Under Attack”37.What does the example of the Smallpox Vaccine illustrate?[A] The possible negative outcome of administering vaccines.[B] The practical use of a vaccine to control an epidemic disease.[C] The effectiveness of vaccines in eradicating certain disease.[D] The method by which vaccines are employed against the disease.38.The phrase “ward it off naturally” (Paragraph 2) most probably means?[A] dispose of it naturally [B] fight it off with ease[C] see to it reluctantly [D] split it up properly39.Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] Saving the majority would necessarily justify the death of the minority.[B] The immune system can be trained to fight weaker versions of a disease.[C] Mandatory vaccinations are indispensable to the survival of the populace.[D] The process of vaccination remains a mystery to be further resolved.40.The purpose of the author in writing this passage is?[A] to comment and criticize [B] to demonstrate and argue[C] to interest and entertain[D] to explain and informPart BSample oneDirections：In the following text， some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45， choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices， which do not fit in any of the blanks. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)We are seeing a series of paradoxes at the turn of the millennium. On the one hand， globalization means that nationalfrontiers are becoming increasingly meaningless，but on the other，we are being swept by a wave of parochialism，with countries clinging to the notion of sovereignty.41)?But there are so many factors in the world that make this position increasingly meaningless. Governments no longer have complete control over their economic and monetary policies， and many multinationals now have greater profits than individual countrys GDP.The end of the cold war has brought its own dangers and we need to find a new balance of power in the world. It has also spawned many conflicts. Governments must be prepared to surrender some authority to global and regional institutions or we risk world disorder. It is tragic that，just when we need a strong international organization， the United Nations is starved of funds and often sidelined by its own member states. What happened in East Timor was unforgivable because it was foreseeable. Angola has been another sad instance of international vacillation. 42)?I do think world war is less likely for the present， although I worry about the proliferation of nuclear weapons at one end and lethal small arms at the other. 43)?Another worry stems from the huge economic imbalances in a world where the richest 20 per cent have 86 per cent of global GDP， and the 20 poorest countries only one per cent.Humanitarian aid is no more than a palliative. 44)?The international implications of，for example，the collapse of Africa are unthinkable. There must be a new concept of security based not just on military and defense matters but on economic and social concerns too. 45)?The global pendulum has swung too far towards a total dependence on market forces，but finding some point ofbalance in the middle is extremely difficult. I am by nature optimistic， but in my gloomier moments I sometimes think the only solution will be an invasion from outer space-then at last everyone would unite!考研英语模拟试题二及答案解析word版篇2Text4Now that members of Generation Z are graduating college this springthe most commonly-accepted definition says this generation was bom after 1995, give or take a year-the attention has been rising steadily in recent weeks. GenZs are about to hit the streets looking for work in a labor market that's tighter than it's been in decades. And employers are planning on hiring about 17 percent more new graduates for jobs in the U.S. this year than last, according to a survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Everybody wants to know how the people who will soon inhabit those empty office cubicles will differ from those who came before them.If"entitled"is the most common adjective, fairly or not, applied to millennials (those bom between 1981 and 1995), the catchwords for Generation Z are practical and cautious. According to the career counselors and expert who study them, Generation Zs are clear-eyed, economic pragmatists. Despite graduating into the best economy in the past 50 years, Gen Zs know what an economic train wreck looks like. They were impressionable kids during the crash of 2008, when many of their parents lost their jobs or their life savings or both. They aren,'t interested in taking any chances. The booming economy seems to have done little to assuage this underlying generational sense of anxious urgency, especially for those who have college debt. College loan balances in the U.S. now stand at a record $1.5trillion, according to the Federal Reserve.One survey from Accenture found that 88 percent of graduating seniors this year chose their major with a job in mind. In a 2019 survey of University of Georgia students, meanwhile, the career office found the most desirable trait in a future employer was the ability to offer secure employment (followed by professional development and training, and then inspiring purpose). Job security or stability was the second most important career goal (work-life balance was number one), followed by a sense of being dedicated to a cause or to feel good about serving the great good.36. Generation Zs graduating college this spring_____.[A] are recognized for their abilities[B] are in favor of job offers[C] are optimistic about the labor market[D] are drawing growing public attention37.

考研英语二（阅读）模拟试卷33(题后含答案及解析)全部题型 2. 阅读理解阅读理解Boys and girls used to grow up and set aside their childish pursuits. Not anymore. These days, men and women hold on to their inner kid. They live with their parents far longer than previous generations. They’re getting married later. Even when they have kids, moms and dads download pop songs for their cell phone ringtones, play video games, watch cartoons, and indulge in foods from their childhood. Christopher Noxon explores this Peter Pan culture in his new book, Rejuvenile: Kickball, Cartoons, Cupcakes, and the Reinvention of the American Grownup. For rejuveniles today, all roads lead back to Peter Pan and the turn of the twentieth century. The natural capacities of children, which for centuries had been viewed as weak and obstinate were over the course of these few years discovered as a primary source of inspiration and profit. It would be another century before the rejuvenile rebellion we know today, but resistance to what historian Woody Register calls “the weakening prudence, restraint and solemnity of growing up” began here, with the first flight of Pan and the dawn of the twentieth century. The temptation today is to think of adulthood as a historic and natural fact. In a 2004 essay on “The Perpetual Adolescent,” Joseph Epstein wrote that adulthood was treated as the “lengthiest and most earnest part of life, where everything serious happened.”To stray outside the defined boundaries of adulthood, he wrote, was “to go against what was natural and thereby to appear inappropriate, to put one’s world somehow out of joint.” Before the Industrial Revolution, no one thought much about adulthood, and even less about childhood. In sixteenth-century Europe, for instance, “children shared the same games with adults, the same toys, and the same fairy stories. They lived their lives together, never apart,” notes historian J.H. Plumb. This shouldn’t suggest that people in the past didn’t distinguish between kids and grown-ups. Of course they did. The distinction forms the basis of rites of passage that are as old as human history. A-mazonian initiation rites, Jewish Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, Christian confirmations—all serve the same basic function: to formally announce the end of childhood and the assumption of new duties and freedoms. It’s a mistake, though, to confuse maturity with adulthood. The maturity celebrated in traditional rites of passage is not the same thing as the idea of adulthood hatched a century ago by a group of Victorian clergymen and society ladies. Maturity is old. “Adulthood” is new.1．According to the passage, Peter Pan culture is probably a phenomenon that A．people cast away their childish pursuits once they grow up.B．people indulge in foods and games from their childhood.C．people still act in a childish way when they are adults.D．people hang on to their adult interests and attitudes.正确答案：C解析：事实细节题。

考研英语二（阅读）模拟试卷53(题后含答案及解析)全部题型 2. 阅读理解阅读理解Despite its name, Smugglers’Gulch is one of the toughest places to sneak into America. The narrow valley near San Diego is divided by a steel wall and watched day and night by agents of the border patrol, who track would-be illegal immigrants with the help of helicopters and underground pressure sensors. Rafael, a cement worker, has already been caught jumping over the fence five times. Yet he still wanders on the Mexican side of the fence, waiting for nightfall and another chance to cross. How much longer will he keep trying? “Until I get through,” he says. Last week the Senate tried, and failed, to deal with the problem of illegal immigration. After much debate it abandoned a bill that would have provided more money for border security but also allowed many illegal immigrants to obtain visas. Yet the collapse of the Senate bill does not mean illegal immigration will go away, either as a fact or as an urgent political issue. Indeed, one likely consequence will be an outbreak of ad hoc law-making in cities and states. One such place is Arizona, where the governor, signed a bill this week imposing rigid penalties on employers who hire illegal immigrants. Those who are caught once will have their licenses suspended; a second offence will put them out of business. Even the governor admits the bill is too broadly drawn and will be hard to enforce. She signed it, she explained, because the federal government has shown itself to be incapable of dealing with illegal immigration. One in ten workers in Arizona is illegal, according to the Pew Hispanic Centre. So the law, if rigorously enforced, could disrupt the state’s economy, which suggests it will not be. One landscape gardener in Scottsdale who worked illegally for three decades and now pays illegal workers $7 an hour thinks the measure is ridiculous. “Who else is going to pick lettuces and trim trees in this heat?” he asks, pointing to the sun on a 47°C day. He has no plans to change his ways, and says he will simply move if he is caught. Laws such as Arizona’s will make life more unpleasant and unpredictable for illegal workers. But they will not curtail either illegal immigration or illegal working as much as supporters claim. In any case, the border has been so porous for so long that people now have plenty of reasons to steal across it other than work. Of five aspiring immigrants who spoke to the correspondent in Smugglers’ Gulch earlier this week, three were trying to join their families.1．We can learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.A．people are misled by the name Smugglers’ GulchB．Smuggler’s Gulch is the toughest entrance to steal into USAC．Rafael will continue his risky attempt to jump the fenceD．Smuggler’s Gulch is secured by advanced tracking tools正确答案：C解析：事实细节题。
