(40 points)It is not a question so much of what will happen as much as it is a statement of what has already happened and is still happening. Society is falling down all around us. As compared to days gone by, the family structure has weakened so much that people have developed uncaring and self serving attitudes. We see more and more with each passing year, less and less stable homes. Kids are caring for themselves and parents are out working more than ever. Even if they are structured enough to meet around the dinner table at night, it will most likely be the only time they connect with each other for the entire day. Children learn to cope with the world by watching and learning from loving parents that spend time with them. It only makes sense that when the time is not invested, the children grow to adulthood lacking life skills they should have grown up with. Society is already feeling the effects of this sad trend when we see young adults with no set goals or any kind of direction as to which path they should walk in life. Schools counselors try to help these kids decide on a career choice or a direction to look towards, but often this advice is ignored. It is the parents responsibility to guide their children and raise them in homes that are stable and caring. Ninety percent of the time, people who become successful members of society and achieve the most, come from stable, loving homes with adults that cared enough to lead them every day. If this lack of stability in the home continues to increase, then of course, society as a whole, will suffer! As parents and caregivers, we must begin to put our priorities in order if we are to build a better tomorrow. Is it more important to have a gym membership and new car or bigger house at the expense of our child and what they will bring to the future of our society? With our nation in a recession, getting back to the basics seems to be the talk of the day. Many people are realising the value of a dollar again and cutting back on many “extras”. This could be the start of building our society back up again and saving the future of it by teaching young people to work together and be together. Maybe by work hours being cut back and layoffs happening everywhere, families will spend more time together and begin to see the value of relationships rather than the value of “things”.1．We learn from paragraph 1 that ______.A．what will happen is a minor issueB．selfishness has become prevalentC．society is on the verge of collapseD．loosely structured families persist正确答案：B解析：第一段最后一句中的“…people have developed uncaring and self serving attitudes”(家庭结构变得不稳定以至于人们养成自私自利的生活态度)是该段的结论。

考研英语二（阅读）模拟试卷20(总分：40.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、<B>Part ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.</B>(总题数：4，分数：40.00)The business practices of America will have you in the office from nine in the morning to five in the evening, if not longer. Much of the world, though, prefers to take a nap. And research presented to the AAAS (American Academy of Arts and Sciences) meeting in San Diego suggests it may be right to do so. Matthew Walker and his colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, have found that they probably have better memory, too. A post-meal snooze, Dr Walker has discovered, sets the brain up for learning. The role of sleep in consolidating memories that have already been created has been understood for some time. Dr Walker has been trying to extend this understanding by looking at sleep's role in preparing the brain for the formation of memories in the first place. He was particularly interested in a type of memory called episodic memory, which relates to specific events, places and times. This contrasts with procedural memory, of the skills required to perform some sort of mechanical task, such as driving. The theory he and his team wanted to test was that the ability to form new episodic memories deteriorates with increasing wakefulness, and that sleep thus restores the brain's capacity for efficient learning. They asked a group of 39 people to take part in two learning sessions, one at noon and one at 6pm. On each occasion the participants tried to memorize and recall 100 combinations of pictures and names. After the first session they were assigned randomly to either a control group, which remained awake, or a nap group, which had 100 minutes of monitored sleep. Those who remained awake throughout the day became worse at learning. Those who napped, by contrast, actually improved their capacity to learn, doing better in the evening than they had at noon. These findings suggest that sleep is clearing the brain's short-term memory and making way for new information. The benefits to memory of a nap, says Dr Walker, are so great that they can equal an entire night's sleep. He warns, however, that napping must not be done too late in the day or it will interfere with night-time sleep. Moreover, not everyone awakens refreshed from a nap. The dazedness that results from an unrefreshing nap is termed "sleep inertia". Sara Mednick, from the University of California, San Diego, suggests that non-habitual nappers suffer from this more often than those who snooze regularly. It may be that those who have a tendency to wake up dazed are choosing not to nap in the first place. Perhaps, though, as in so many things, it is practice that makes perfect.（分数：10.00）(1).Dr. Walker has been trying to find out _____.（分数：2.00）A.the role of sleep in enhancing memory that has been createdB.the relationship between episodic memories and sleep √C.the role of brain in forming new episodic memoriesD.differences between episodic and procedural memories解析：解析：根据Dr．Walker has been trying可定位到第二段。

考研英语阅读理解模拟试题及解析(一)2008-11-5 9:10页面功能【字体：大中小】【打印】【关闭】The majority of successful senior managers do not closely follow the classi cal rational model of first clarifying goals, assessing the problem, formulatin g options, estimating likelihoods of success, making a decision, and only then taking action to implement the decision. Rather, in their day-by-day tactical m aneuvers, these senior executives rely on what is vaguely termed intuition to m anage a network of interrelated problems that require them to deal with ambigui ty, inconsistency, novelty, and surprise； and to integrate action into the process of thinking.Generations of writers on management have recognized that some practicing m anagers rely heavily on intuition. In general, however, such writers display a poor grasp of what intuition is. Some see it as the opposite of rationality;oth ers view it as an excuse for capriciousness.Isenberg's recent research on the cognitive processes of senior managers re veals that managers' intuition is neither of these. Rather, senior managers use intuition in at least five distinct ways. First, they intuitively sense when a problem exists. Second, managers rely on intuition to perform well-learned beh avior patterns rapidly. This intuition is not arbitrary or irrational, but is b ased on years of painstaking practice and hands-on experience that build skill s. A third function of intuition is to synthesize isolated bits of data and pra ctice into an integrated picture, often in an Aha！ experience. Fourth, some man agers use intuition as a check on the results of more rational analysis. Most s enior executives are familiar with the formal decision analysis models and tool s, and those who use such systematic methods for reaching decisions are occasio nally leery of solutions suggested by these methods which run counter to their sense of the correct course of action. Finally, managers can use intuition to b ypass in-depth analysis and move rapidly to engender a plausible solution. Used in this way, intuition is an almost instantaneous cognitive process in which amanager recognizes familiar patterns.One of the implications of the intuitive style of executive management is t hat thinking is inseparable from acting. Since managers often know what is righ t before they can analyze and explain it, they frequently act first and explain later. Analysis is inextricably tied to action in thinking/acting cycles, in w hich managers develop thoughts about their companies and organizations not by a nalyzing a problematic situation and then acting, but by acting and analyzing in close concert.Given the great uncertainty of many of the management issues that they face, senior managers often instigate a course of action simply to learn more abou t an issue. They then use the results of the action to develop a more complete understanding of the issue. One implication of thinking/acting cycles is that a ction is often part of defining the problem, not just of implementing the solution.1. According to the text, senior managers use intuition in all of the following ways EXCEPT to[A] speed up of the creation of a solution to a problem.[B] identify a problem.[C] bring together disparate facts.[D] stipulate clear goals.2. The text suggests which of the following about the writers on managementmentioned in line 1, paragraph 2？[A] They have criticized managers for not following the classical rationalmodel of decision analysis.[B] They have not based their analyses on a sufficiently large sample of actual managers.[C] They have relied in drawing their conclusions on what managers say rather than on what managers do.[D] They have misunderstood how managers use intuition in making business decisions.3. It can be inferred from the text that which of the following would most probably be one major difference in behavior between Manager X, who uses intuit ion to reach decisions, and Manager Y, who uses only formal decision analysis？[A] Manager X analyzes first and then acts； Manager Y does not.[B] Manager X checks possible solutions to a problem by systematic analysis； Manager Y does not.[C] Manager X takes action in order to arrive at the solution to a problem；Manager Y does not.[D] Manager Y draws on years of hands-on experience in creating a solutionto a problem； Manager X does not.4. The text provides support for which of the following statements？[A] Managers who rely on intuition are more successful than those who relyon formal decision analysis.[B] Managers cannot justify their intuitive decisions.[C] Managers'' intuition works contrary to their rational and analytical skills.[D] Intuition enables managers to employ their practical experience more efficiently.5. Which of the following best describes the organization of the first paragraph of the text？[A] An assertion is made and a specific supporting example is given.[B] A conventional model is dismissed and an alternative introduced.[C] The results of recent research are introduced and summarized.[D] Two opposing points of view are presented and evaluated.[答案与考点解析]1. 「答案」D「考点解析」这是一道归纳推导题。

考研英语范文阅读模拟试题及答案解析(一)It was 3: 45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patientswho wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 1 0. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Rightto Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group's on-line servi ce, Death NET. Says Hofsess: We posted bulletins all day long, becaus e of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world history.The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of theTerminally Ill law has left physicians and citizens alike trying todeal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed si ghs of relief, others, including churches, right-to-life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and thehaste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia-where an aging population, life-extending technology and changi ng community attitudes have all played their part-other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia. In theUS and Canada, where the right-to-die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can reques t death-probably by a deadly injection or pill-to put an end to suffe ring. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors.After a cooling off period of seven days, the patient can sign a cer tificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung ca ncer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill law means he can get on with li ving without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritualpoint of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I'vewatched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks, he says.51. From the second paragraph we learn that ________.（A）the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries（B）physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia（C）changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hasty passage of the law（D）it takes time to realize the significance of the law's passage52. When the author says that observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling, he means ________.（A）observers are taking a wait-and-see attitude towards the future of euthanasia（B）similar bills are likely to be passed in the US, Canada andother countries（C）observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes（D）the effect-taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop53. When Lloyd Nickson dies, he will ________.（A）face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia（B）experience the suffering of a lung cancer patient（C）have an intense fear of terrible suffering（D）undergo a cooling off period of seven days54. The author's attitude towards euthanasia seems to be that of________.（A）opposition （B）suspicion （C）approval （D）indiffer ence答案及试题解析51.（D）意为：理解该法获批准的意义尚需要时间。

When I decided toquit my full time employment it never ourred to me that I might bee a partof a new international trend.A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked myprofessional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile careeralthough, in the manner of a disgraced government minister, I covered my exitby claiming“I wanted to spend more time with my family"。

Curiously, some two-and-a-half years and two novels later, my experimentin what the Americans term "downshifting" has turned my tired excuseinto an absolute reality. I have been transformed from a passionate advocate ofthe philosophy of “have it all", preached by Linda Kelsey for the past seven yearsin the pages of She magazine, into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit ofeverything。

考研英语一阅读理解专项强化真题试卷20(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1.In 2010, a federal judge shook America’s biotech industry to its core. Companies had won patents for isolated DNA for decades—by 2005 some 20% of human genes were patented. But in March 2010 a judge ruled that genes were unpatentable. Executives were violently agitated. The Biotechnology Industry Organisation (BIO), a trade group, assured members that this was just a “preliminary step” in a longer battle. On July 29th they were relieved, at least temporarily. A federal appeals court overturned the prior decision, ruling that Myriad Genetics could indeed hold patents to two genes that help forecast a woman’s risk of breast cancer. The chief executive of Myriad, a company in Utah, said the ruling was a blessing to firms and patients alike. But as companies continue their attempts at personalised medicine, the courts will remain rather busy. The Myriad case itself is probably not over. Critics make three main arguments against gene patents; a gene is a product of nature, so it may not be patented; gene patents suppress innovation rather than reward it; and patents’ monopolies restrict access to genetic tests such as Myriad’s. A growing number seem to agree. Last year a federal task-force urged reform for patents related to genetic tests. In October the Department of Justice filed a brief in the Myriad case, arguing that an isolated. DNA molecule “is no less a product of nature... than are cotton fibres that have been separated from cotton seeds. “Despite the appeals court’s decision, big questions remain unanswered. For example, it is unclear whether the sequencing of a whole genome violates the patents of individual genes within it. The case may yet reach the Supreme Court. As the industry advances, however, other suits may have an even greater impact. Companies are unlikely to file many more patents for human DNA molecules—most are already patented or in the public domain. Firms are now studying how genes interact, looking for correlations that might be used to determine the causes of disease or predict a drug’s efficacy. Companies are eager to win patents for “connecting the dots,” explains Hans Sauer, a lawyer for the BIO. Their success may be determined by a suit related to this issue, brought by the Mayo Clinic, which the Supreme Court will hear in its next term. The BIO recently held a convention which included sessions to coach lawyers on the shifting landscape for patents. Each meeting was packed.1．It can be learned from paragraph 1 that the biotech companies would like______.A．their executives to be activeB．judges to rule out gene patentingC．genes to be patentableD．the BIO to issue a warning正确答案：C解析：第一段是文章的主旨段，简明扼要道出基因专利法律纠纷的由来。

Could the bad olddays of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cutsin March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up fromless than $10 last December. This near-tripling of oil prices calls up scarymemories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled, and 1979-1980, whenthey also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digitinflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning ofgloom and doom this time?The oil price was given another push up this week when Iraqsuspended oil exports. Strengthening economic growth, at the same time aswinter grips the northern hemisphere, could push the price higher still in theshort term。

Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences nowto be less severe than in the 1970s. In most countries the cost of crude oilnow aounts for a smaller share of the price of petrol than it did in the1970s. In Europe, taxes aount for up to four-fifths of the retail price, soeven quitebig changes in the price of crude have a more muted effect on pumpprices than in the past。
