Choose the best word(s) for each numbered blank and mark A, B, C or D.

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I leta salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model, I realized this a day late,when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid,The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night, Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static (静电) noise. For some reason,when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise ,I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether .My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now,but I keep expecting more trouble.did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV setA.He got an older model than he had expected.B.He couldn’t return it when it was broken.C.He could have bought it at a lower price.D.He failed to find any movie shows on it.of the following can best replace the phrase”signed off”in Paragraph 1all their programs fewer channels to all-night movies23.How did the author finally get his TV set working againA.By shaking and hitting it.

Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious(难为情)when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light , get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors . Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites . In one study , people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make tood appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint , go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down , turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishs, Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent.

2015年全国硕士研究生招生考试英语(二)答案详解SectionⅠUse of English文章分析本文主要就当前社会存在的一个现象进行分析——为什么现在的人不与周围的陌生人交流,而只专注于手机。
第一段提出现象。
第二段指出与陌生人交流其实大有裨益,只是我们不知道。
第三段提出全文要探讨的问题。
第四段给出原因之一——害怕。
第五段承接第四段继续分析,指出我们把手机视为保护毯,避免与陌生人交谈的尴尬。
第六段用一个实验证明其实与陌生人交谈并不是那么尴尬。
第七段对实验结果进行解释,因为人类的的发展源于社会联系。
试题解析In our contemporary culture,the prospect of communicating with—or even looking at—a stranger is virtually unbearable.Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they fiddle with their phones,even without a__1__on a subway.【译文】在当代文化中,与陌生人交流,甚至看一眼陌生人,都几乎难以忍受。
我们周围的每一个人似乎都同意这点,他们玩弄着手机,即使地铁上一点儿信号都没有。
1.[A]ticket车票[B]permit许可证[C]signal信号[D]record记录【答案】C【考点】词义辨析【直击答案】空格所在句意为:陌生人之间没有交流,大家都只关注自己的手机,即使地铁里没有________。
选项中,只有C项符合上下文语义,与phones和subway有关,因此signal正确。
【命题思路】本题四个选项语义不相关,所以只需要根据上下文确定所需填入的语义即可。
【干扰排除】其余三个选项带入原文都与句意不符,故排除。
It's a sad reality—our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings—because there's__2__to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you.But you wouldn't know it,__3__into your phone.This universal protection sends the___4___:_“Please don't approach me.”【译文】这是个可悲的现实——我们希望避免与其他人交流——因为和身边的陌生人交流会带来诸多益处。

About 30 percent of the world’s export of tea makes its way to London. And Britain is by far the largest importer of tea in the world.Now in the second picture, you can see how tea is tasted in the Tea Trade Centre before it is sold. Here, different types of tea are tasted by skilled tea-tasters before they are sold at each week’s tea sale. It’s amazing to see them at work! Over a hundred kinds of tea are laid out in a line on a long table. The tasters generally taste tea with milk, since that is how the majority of British people drink their tea. The tasters move down the line with surprising speed, tasting from a spoon and deciding what is a fair price for each tea.第二部分阅读理解第一节21.【答案】C【解析】根据“…newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.”可知,作者是在一天后看到自己所购买的电视机降了75美元才感觉自己上当受骗上当了。

2015考研英语二真题和答案(2)Text 2For years, studies have found that first-generation college students-those who do not have a parent with a college degree-lag other students on a range of education achievement factors. Their grades are lower and their dropout rates are higher. But since such students are most likely to advance economically if they succeed in higher education, colleges and universities have pushed for decades to recruit more of them. This has created a dox in that recruiting first-generation students, but then watching many of them fail, means that higher education has continued to reproduce and widen, rather than close achievement gap based on social class, according to the depressing beginning of a paper forthcoming in the journal Psychological Sciense.But the article is actually quite optimistic, as it outlines a potential solution to this problem, suggesting that an approach(which involves a one-hour, next-to-no-cost program) can close 63 percent of the achievement gap(measured by such factors as grades)between first-generation and other students.The authors of the paper are from different universities, and their findins are based on a study involving 147 students(who completed the project)at an unnamed private unive rsity.First generation was defined as not having a parent with a fou r-year college degree Most of the first-generation students(59.1 percent) were recipients of Pell Grants,a federal g rant for undergraduates with financial need,while this was true only for 8.6 percent of the students wit at least one parent with a four-year degreeTheir thesis-that a relatively modest inte rvention could have a big impact-was based on the view that first-gene ration students may be most lacking not in potential but in practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students They cite past resea rch by several authors to show that this is the gap that must be na rrowed to close the achievement gap.Many first-gene ration studentsstruggle to navigate the middle-class culture of higher education,learn therules of the game,and take advantage of college resou rces, they write And this becomes more of a problem when collages dont talk about the class advantage and disadvantages of different groups of students Because US colleges and universities seldom acknowledge how social class can affect students educational expe rience,many first-gene ration students lack sight about why they a re struggling and do not unde rstand how students like them can improve26. Recruiting more first-generation students has[A]reduced their d ropout rates[B]narrowed the achievement gao[C] missed its original pu rpose[D]depressed college students27 The author of the research article are optimistic because[A]the problem is solvable[B]their approach is costless[q the recruiting rate has increased[D]their finding appeal to students28 The study suggests that most first-gene ration students[A]study at private universities[B]are from single-pa rent families[q are in need of financial support[D]have failed their collage29. The author of the paper believe that first-generation students[A]a re actually indifferent to the achievement gap[B]can have a potential influence on othe r students[C] may lack opportunities to apply for resea rch projects[D]are inexperienced in handling their issues at college30.We mayinfer from the last graph that[A]universities often r~ect the culture of the middle-class[B]students are usually to blame for their lack of resources[C]social class g reatly helps en rich educational experiences[D]colleges are partly responsible for the problem in question答案:26.C missed its original purpose27.A the problem is solvable28.C are in need of financial support29.D are inexperienced in handling issues at college30.D colleges are partly responsible for the problem in questionText3Even in traditional offices,the lingua franca of corporate America has gottenmuch more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago, said Ha rva rd Business School professor Nancy Koehn She sta rted spinning off examples.If you and I pa rachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990,we would see much less frequent use of terms like Journey, mission,passion. There were goals,there were strategies,there were tives,but we didnt talk about energy;we didnt talk aboutpassion.Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabula ry is very team-oriented-and not by coincidence.Lets not forget sDorts-in male-dominated corporate America,its still a big deal. Its not explicitly conscious;its the idea that Im a coach,and youre my team,and were in this togethec. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies,but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win.These terms a re also intended to infuse work with meaning-and,as Khu rana points out,increase allegiance to the firm.You have the importation of terminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations:Terms like vision,values,passion,and purpose,saidKhuranaThis new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance The mommy wars of the 1990s a re still going on today, prompting arguments about whywomen still canthave it all and books like Sheryl Sandbergs Lean In,whose title has become abuzzword in its own right.

AMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn’t fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day late, when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately, I didn’t got any channels showing all-night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电)noise. For some reason, when certain shows switched into a commercial, a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually, this noise began to appear during a show, and to get rid of it, I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work, and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise, I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist, and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62, and the set is working well now, but I keep expecting more trouble.( )1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?A. He got an older model than he had expected.C. He could have bought it at a lower price.B. He couldn’t return it when it was broken.D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.( )2. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?A. ended all their programs C. changed to commercialsB. provided fewer channels D. showed all-night movies( )3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?A. By shaking and hitting it.C. By switching channels.B. By turning it on and off.D. By having it repaired.( )4. How does the author sound when telling the story?A. Curious.B. Anxious.C. Cautious.D. Humorous.BYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when they’re in poorly lit places---and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入)jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.( )5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about __________.A. their home comforts C. house buyingB. their body shape D. healthy diets( )6. A home environment in blue can help people __________.A. digest food better C. burn more caloriesB. reduce food intake D. regain their appetites( )7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly.C. Use smaller spoons.B. Play fast music.D. Turn down the lights.( )8. What can be a suitable title for the test?A. Is Your House Making You Fat?C. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessB. Ways of Serving DinnerD. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing? CMore student than ever before are taking a gap-year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be called the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the startof the next academic year.This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by University and College Admissions Service(UCAS).That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students(NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student had ship---young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to £15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods,” he said. ( )9. What do we learn about the gap year from the text?A. It is flexible in length. C. It is increasingly popular.B. It is a time for relaxation. D. It is required by universities.( )10. According to Tony Higgins,students taking a gap year __________.A. are better prepared for college studiesB. know a lot more about their future jobsC. are more likely to leave university in debtD. have a better chance to enter top universities( )11. How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?A. He’s puzzled.B. He’s worried.C. He’s surprised.D. He’s annoyed. ( )12. What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?A. Attend additional courses.C. Earn money for their education.B. Make plans for the new term.D. Prepare for their graduate studies. DChoose Your One-Day ToursTour A---Bath & Stonehenge including entrance fees to the ancient Roman bathrooms and Stonehenge---£37 until 26 March and £39 thereafter.Visit the city with over 2,000 years of history and Bath Abbey, the Royal Crescent and the Costume Museum.

作者用幽默诙谐的笔调向我们讲述了他购买的一台电视机所带来的一系列烦恼的故事。
21. C。
推理判断题。
根据“…newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid.”可知,作者是在一天后看到自己所购买的电视机降了75美元才感觉自己上当受骗上当了。
由此可知他本可以以更低的价格购买这台电视机的。
因此C项正确。
22. A。
词义猜测题。
由下一句的内容可知,我没有彻夜播放电影的频道,不然就无法睡觉了。
据此可以推断作者一直看到一天的节目结束为止。
故A项为正确答案。
23. D。
事实细节题。
由短文最后“My trip to the repair shop cost me $62.”一句可知,作者把电视机送到维修店里请人修理。
24. D.推理判断题。
纵览全文,尤其是第二段末句“I actually began to build up my arm muscles, shaking my set.”(通过摇晃电视机,我手臂的肌肉增强了不少。
