Answer the questions below each text by choosing [A], [B], [C] or [D]. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1The decision of the New York Philharmonic to hire Alan Gilbert as its next music director has been the talk of the classical-music world ever since the sudden announcement of his appointment in 2009. For the most part, the response has been favorable, to say the least. “Hooray! At last!” wrote Ant hony Tommasini, a sober-sided classical-music critic.One of the reasons why the appointment came as such a surprise, however, is that Gilbert is comparatively little known. Even Tommasini, who had advocated Gilbert’s appointment in theTimes, calls him “a n unpretentious musician with no air of the formidable conductor about him.” As a description of the next music director of an orchestra that has hitherto been led by musicians like Gustav Mahler and Pierre Boulez, that seems likely to have struck at least some Times readers as faint praise.For my part, I have no idea whether Gilbert is a great conductor or even a good one. To be sure, he performs an impressive variety of interesting compositions, but it is not necessary for me to visit Avery Fisher Hall, or anywhere else, to hear interesting orchestral music. All I have to do is to go to my CD shelf, or boot up my computer and download still more recorded music from iTunes.Devoted concertgoers who reply that recordings are no substitute for live performance are missing the point. For the time, attention, and money of the art-loving public, classical instrumentalists must compete not only with opera houses, dance troupes, theater companies, and museums, but also with the recorded performances of the great classical musicians of the 20th century. There recordings are cheap, available everywhere, and very often much higher in artistic quality than today’s live performances; moreover, they can be “consumed” at a time and place of the listener’s choosing. The wi despread availability of such recordings has thus brought about a crisis in the institution of the traditional classical concert.One possible response is for classical performers to program attractive new music that is not yet available on record. Gilbert’s own interest in new music has been widely noted: Alex Ross, a classical-music critic, has described him as a man who is capable of turning the Philharmonic into “a markedly different, more vibrant organization.” But what will be the nature of that diffe rence? Merely expanding the orchestra’s repertoire will not be enough. If Gilbert and the Philharmonic are to succeed, they must first change the relationship between America’s oldest orchestra and the new audience it hops to attract.21. We learn from Par a.1 that Gilbert’s appointment has[A]incurred criticism.[B]raised suspicion.[C]received acclaim.[D]aroused curiosity.22. Tommasini regards Gilbert as an artist who is[A]influential.[B]modest.[C]respectable.[D]talented.23. The author believes that the devoted concertgoers[A]ignore the expenses of live performances.[B]reject most kinds of recorded performances.[C]exaggerate the variety of live performances.[D]overestimate the value of live performances.24. According to the text, which of the following is true of recordings?[A]They are often inferior to live concerts in quality.[B]They are easily accessible to the general public.[C]They help improve the quality of music.[D]They have only covered masterpieces.25. Regarding Gilbert’s role in r evitalizing the Philharmonic, the author feels[A]doubtful.[B]enthusiastic.[C]confident.[D]puzzled.Text 2When Liam McGee departed as president of Bank of America in August, his explanation was surprisingly straight up. Rather than cloaking his exit in the usual vague excuses, he came right out and said he was leaving “to pursue my goal of running a company.” Broadcasting his ambition was “very much my decision,” McGee says. Within two weeks, he was talking for the first time with the board of Hartford Financial Services Group, which named him CEO and chairman on September 29.McGee says leaving without a position lined up gave him time to reflect on what kind of company he wanted to run. It also sent a clear message to the outside world about his aspira tions. And McGee isn’t alone. In recent weeks the No.2 executives at Avon and American Express quit with the explanation that they were looking for a CEO post. As boards scrutinize succession plans in response to shareholder pressure, executives who don’t get the nod also may wish to move on. A turbulent business environment also has senior managerscautious of letting vague pronouncements cloud their reputations.As the first signs of recovery begin to take hold, deputy chiefs may be more willing to make the jump without a net. In the third quarter, CEO turnover was down 23% from a year ago as nervous boards stuck with the leaders they had, according to Liberum Research. As the economy picks up, opportunities will abound for aspiring leaders.The decision to quit a senior position to look for a better one is unconventional. For years executives and headhunters have adhered to the rule that the most attractive CEO candidates are the ones who must be poached. Says Korn/Ferry senior partner Dennis Carey:”I can’t think of a single search I’ve done where a board has not instructed me to look at sitting CEOs first.”Those who jumped without a job haven’t always landed in top positions quickly. Ellen Marram quit as chief of Tropicana a decade age, saying she wanted to be a CEO. It was a year before she became head of a tiny Internet-based commodities exchange. Robert Willumstad left Citigroup in 2005 with ambitions to be a CEO. He finally took that post at a major financial institution three years later.Many recruiters say the old disgrace is fading for top performers. The financial crisis has made it more acceptable to be between jobs or to leave a bad one. “The traditional rule was it’s safer to stay where you are, but that’s been fundamentally inverted,” says one headhunter. “The people who’ve been hurt the worst are those who’ve stayed too long.”26.When McGee announced his departure, his manner can best be described as being[A]arrogant.[B]frank.[C]self-centered.[D]impulsive.27. According to Paragraph 2, senior executives’ quitting may be spurred by[A]their expectation of better financial status.[B]their need to reflect on their private life.[C]their strained relations with the boards.[D]their pursuit of new career goals.28.The word “poached” (Line 3, Paragraph 4) most probably means[A]approved of.[B]attended to.[C]hunted for.[D]guarded against.29.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that[A]top performers used to cling to their posts.[B]loyalty of top performers is getting out-dated.[C]top performers care more about reputations.[D]it’s safer to stick to the traditional rules.30. Which of the following is the best title for the text?[A]CEOs: Where to Go?[B]CEOs: All the Way Up?[C]Top Managers Jump without a Net[D]The Only Way Out for Top PerformersText 3The rough guide to marketing success used to be that you got what you paid for. No longer. While traditional “paid” media – such as television commercials and print advertisements –still play a major role, companies today can exploit many alternative forms of media. Consumers passionate about a product may create “owned” media by sending e-mail alerts about products and sales to customers registered with its Web site. The way consumers now approach the broad range of factors beyond conventional paid media.Paid and owned media are controlled by marketers promoting their own products. For earned media , such marketers act as the initiator for users’ responses. But in some cases, one marketer’s owned media become another marketer’s paid media –for instance, when an e-commerce retailer sells ad space on its Web site. We define such sold media as owned media whose traffic is so strong that other organizations place their content or e-commerce engines within that environment. This trend ,which we believe is still in its infancy, effectively began with retailers and travel providers such as airlines and hotels and will no doubt go further. Johnson & Johnson, for example, has created BabyCenter, a stand-alone media property that promotes complementary and even competitive products. Besides generating income, the presence of other marketers makes the site seem objective, gives companies opportunities tolearn valuable information about the appeal of other companies’ marketing, and may help expand user traffic for all companies concerned.The same dramatic technological changes that have provided marketers with more (and more diverse) communications choices have also increased the risk that passionate consumers will voice their opinions in quicker, more visible, and much more damaging ways. Such hijacked media are the opposite of earned media: an asset or campaign becomes hostage to consumers, other stakeholders, or activists who make negative allegations about a brand or product. Members of social networks, for instance, are learning that they can hijack media to apply pressure on the businesses that originally created them.If that happens, passionate consumers would try to persuade others to boycott products, putting the reputation of the target company at risk. In such a case, the company’s response may not be sufficiently quick or thoughtful, and the learning curve has been steep. Toyota Motor, for example, alleviated some of the damage from its recall crisis earlier this year with a relatively quick and well-orchestrated social-media response campaign, which included efforts to engage with consumers directly on sites such as Twitter and the social-news site Digg.31.Consumers may create “earned” media when they are[A] obscssed with online shopping at certain Web sites.[B] inspired by product-promoting e-mails sent to them.[C] eager to help their friends promote quality products.[D] enthusiastic about recommending their favorite products.32. According to Paragraph 2,sold media feature[A] a safe business environment.[B] random competition.[C] strong user traffic.[D] flexibility in organization.33. The author indicates in Paragraph 3 that earned media[A] invite constant conflicts with passionate consumers.[B] can be used to produce negative effects in marketing.[C] may be responsible for fiercer competition.[D] deserve all the negative comments about them.34. Toyota Motor’s experience is cited as an example of[A] responding effectively to hijacked media.[B] persuading customers into boycotting products.[C] cooperating with supportive consumers.[D] taking advantage of hijacked media.35. Which of the following is the text mainly about ?[A] Alternatives to conventional paid media.[B] Conflict between hijacked and earned media.[C] Dominance of hijacked media.[D] Popularity of owned media.Text 4It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful, provocative magazine cover story, “I love My Children, I Hate My Life,” is arousing much chatter –nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life-enriching experience. Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness: instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard, Senior writes that “the very things that in the moment dampe n our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.”The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute baby is hardly the only Madonna-and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive – and newly single –mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual “Jennifer Aniston is pregnant” news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom-to-be, smiling on the newsstands.In a society that so persistently celebrates procreation, is it any wonder that admitting you regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing ? It doesn’t seem quite fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely are provoked to wond er if they shouldn’t have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered with the message that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in theirlives.Of course, the image of parenthood that celebrity magazines like Us Weekly and People present is hugely unrealistic, especially when the parents are single mothers like Bullock. According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid without a partner to lean on; yet to hear Sandra and Britney tell it, raising a kid on their “own” (read: with round-the-clock help) is a piece of cake.It’s hard to imagine that many people are dumb enough to want children just because Reese and Angelina make it look so glamorous: most adults understand that a baby is not a haircut. But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every wee k of stress-free, happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting “ the Rachel” might make us look just a littl e bit like Jennifer Aniston.36.Jennifer Senior suggests in her article that raising a child can bring[A]temporary delight[B]enjoyment in progress[C]happiness in retrospect[D]lasting reward37.We learn from Paragraph 2 that[A]celebrity moms are a permanent source for gossip.[B]single mothers with babies deserve greater attention.[C]news about pregnant celebrities is entertaining.[D]having children is highly valued by the public.38.It is suggested in Paragraph 3 that childless folks[A]are constantly exposed to criticism.[B]are largely ignored by the media.[C]fail to fulfill their social responsibilities.[D]are less likely to be satisfied with their life.39.According to Paragraph 4, the message conveyed by celebrity magazines is[A]soothing.[B]ambiguous.[C]compensatory.[D]misleading.40.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?[A]Having children contributes little to the glamour of celebrity moms.[B]Celebrity moms have influenced our attitude towards child rearing.[C]Having children intensifies our dissatisfaction with life.[D]We sometimes neglect the happiness from child rearing.Part BDirections:The following paragraph are given in a wrong order. For Questions 41-45, you are required to reorganize these paragraphs into a coherent text by choosing from the list A-G to filling them into the numbered boxes. Paragraphs E and G have been correctly placed. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)[A] No disciplines have seized on professionalism with as much enthusiasm as the humanities. You can, Mr Menand points out, became a lawyer in three years and a medical doctor in four. But the regular time it takes to get a doctoral degree in the humanities is nine years. Not surprisingly, up to half of all doctoral students in English drop out before getting their degrees.[B] His concern is mainly with the humanities: Literature, languages, philosophy and so on. These are disciplines that are going out of style: 22% of American college graduates now major in business compared with only 2% in history and 4% in English. However, many leading American universities want their undergraduates to have a grounding in the basic canon of ideas that every educated person should posses. But most find it difficult to agree on what a “general education” should look like. At Harvard, Mr Menand notes, “the great books are read because they have been read”-they form a sort of social glue.[C] Equally unsurprisingly, only about half end up with professorships for which they entered graduate school. There are simply too few posts. This is partly because universities continue to produce ever more PhDs. But fewer students want to study humanities subjects: English departments awarded more bachelor’s degrees in 1970-71 than they did 20 years later. Fewer students requires fewer teachers. So, at the end of a decade of theses-writing, manyhumanities students leave the profession to do something for which they have not been trained.[D] One reason why it is hard to design and teach such courses is that they can cut across the insistence by top American universities that liberal-arts educations and professional education should be kept separate, taught in different schools. Many students experience both varieties. Although more than half of Harvard undergraduates end up in law, medicine or business, future doctors and lawyers must study a non-specialist liberal-arts degree before embarking on a professional qualification.[E] Besides professionalizing the professions by this separation, top American universities have professionalised the professor. The growth in public money for academic research has speeded the process: federal research grants rose fourfold between 1960and 1990, but faculty teaching hours fell by half as research took its toll. Professionalism has turned the acquisition of a doctoral degree into a prerequisite for a successful academic career: as late as 1969a third of American professors did not possess one. But the key idea behind professionalisation, argues Mr Menand, is that “the kn owledge and skills needed for a particular specialization are transmissible but not transferable.”So disciplines acquire a monopoly not just over the production of knowledge, but also over the production of the producers of knowledge.[F] The key to reforming higher education, concludes Mr Menand, is to alter the way in which “the producers of knowledge are produced.”Otherwise, academics will continue to think dangerously alike, increasingly detached from the societies which they study, investigate and crit icize.”Academic inquiry, at least in some fields, may need to become less exclusionary and more holistic.”Yet quite how that happens, Mr Menand dose not say.[G] The subtle and intelligent little book T he Marketplace of Ideas: Reform and Resistance in the American University should be read by every student thinking of applying to take a doctoral degree. They may then decide to go elsewhere. For something curious has been happening in American Universities, and Louis Menand, a professor of English at Harvard University, captured it skillfully.Part CDirections:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written carefully on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)With its theme that “Mind is the master weaver,” creating our inner character and outer circumstances, the book As a Man Thinking by James Allen is an in-depth exploration of the central idea of self-help writing.(46) Allen’s contribution was to take an assumption we all share-that because we are not robots we therefore control our thoughts-and reveal its erroneous nature.Because most of us believe that mind is separate from matter, we think that thoughts can be hidden and made powerless; this allows us to think one way and act another. However, Allen believed that the unconscious mind generates as much action as the conscious mind, and (47) while we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone, in reality we are continually faced with a question: “Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that? ”Since desire and will are damaged by the presence of thoughts that do not accord with desire, Allen concluded : “ We do not attract what we want, but what we are.” Achievement happens because you as a person embody the external achievement; you don’t “ get” success but become it. There is no gap between mind and matter.\Part of the fame of Allen’s book is its contention that “Circumstances do not make a person, they reveal him.”(48) This seems a justification for neglect of those in need, and a rationalization of exploitation, of the superiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom.This ,however, would be a knee-jerk reaction to a subtle argument. Each set of circumstances, however bad, offers a unique opportunity for growth. If circumstances always determined the life and prospects of people, then humanity would never have progressed. In fat, (49)circumstances seem to be designed to bring out the best in us and if we feel that we have been “wronged” then we are unlikely to begin a conscious effort to escape from our situation .Nevertheless, as any biographer knows, a person’s early life and its conditions are often the greatest gift to an individual.The sobering aspect of Alle n’s book is that we have no one else to blame for our present condition except ourselves. (50) The upside is the possibilities contained in knowing that everything is up to us; where before we were experts in the array of limitations, now webecome authorities of what is possible.Section Ⅲ WritingPart A51.Directions:Write a letter to a friend of yours to1) recommend one of your favorite movies and 2) give reasons for your recommendation Your should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2Do not sign your own name at the end of the leter.

You can,Mr. Menand points out, became a lawyer in three years and a medical doctor in four. But the regular time ittakes to get a doctoral degree in the humanities is nine years. Not surprisingly, up to half of all doctoral studentsin English drop out before getting their degrees.[B] His concern is mainly with the humanities: Literature, languages, philosophy and so on. These aredisciplines that are going out of style: 22% of American college graduates now major in business comparedwith only 2% in history and 4% in English. However, many leading American universities want theirundergraduates to have a grounding in the basic canon of ideas that every educated person should posses. Butmost find it difficult to agree on what a “general education” should look like. At Harvard, Mr. Menand notes,“the great books are read because they have been read”—they form a sort of social glue. [C] Equally unsurprisingly, only about half end up with professorships for which they entered graduateschool. There are simply too few posts. This is partly because universities continue to produce ever more PhDs.But fewer students want to study humanities subjects: English departments awarded more bachelor’s degrees in1970—1971 than they did 20 years later. Fewer students require fewer teachers. So, at the end of a decade ofthesis-writing, many humanities students leave the profession to do something for which they have not beentrained.[D] One reason why it is hard to design and teach such courses is that they can cut across the insistence bytop American universities that liberal-arts educations and professional education should be kept separate, taughtin different schools. Many students experience both varieties. Although more than half of Harvardundergraduates end up in law, medicine or business, future doctors and lawyers must study a non-specialistliberal-arts degree before embarking on a professional qualification.[E] Besides professionalizing the professions by this separation, top American universities have professionalised the professor. The growth in public money for academic research has speeded the process:federal research grants rose fourfold between 1960 and 1990, but faculty teaching hours fell byhalf as researchtook its toll. Professionalism has turned the acquisition of a doctoral degree into a prerequisite for a successfulacademic career: as late as 1969 a third of American professors did not possess one. But the key idea behind842011 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语试题professionalisation, argues Mr. Menand, is that “the knowledge and skills needed for a particular specializationare transmissible but not transferable.” So disciplines acquire a monopoly not just over the production ofknowledge, but also over the production of the producers of knowledge.[F] The key to reforming higher education, concludes Mr. Menand, is to alter the way in which “theproducers of knowl edge are produced.” Otherwise, academics will continue to think dangerously alike,increasingly detached from the societies which they study, investigate and criticize. “Academic inquiry, at leastin some fields, may need to become less exclusionary and mo re holistic.” Yet quite how that happens, Mr.Menand does not say.[G] The subtle and intelligent little book The Marketplace of Ideas: Reform and Resistance in the American University should be read by every student thinking of applying to take a doctoral degree. They maythen decide to go elsewhere. For something curious has been happening in American Universities, and LouisMenand, a professor of English at Harvard University, captured it skillfully.G →41. →42. →E →43. →44. →45.Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Yourtranslation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points).With its theme that “Mind is the master weaver,” creating our inner character and outer circumstances, thebook As a Man Thinking by James Allen is an in-depth exploration of the central idea of self-help writing.(46) Allen’s contribution was to take an assumption we all share —that because we are not robots wetherefore control our thoughts —and reveal its erroneous nature. Because most of us believe that mind isseparate from matter, we think that thoughts can be hidden and made powerless; this allows us to think one wayand act another. However, Allen believed that the unconscious mind generates as much action as the consciousmind, and (47) while we may be able to sustain the illusion of control through the conscious mind alone, inreality we are continually faced with a qu estion: “Why cannot I make myself do this or achieve that? ”Since desire and will are damaged by the presence of thoughts that do not accord with desire, Allenconcluded: “We do not attract what we want, but what we are.” Achievement happens because you as a personembody the external achievement; you don’t “get” success but become it. There is no gap between mind andmatter.Part of the fame of Allen’s book is its contention that “Circumstances do not make a person, they revealhim.” (48) This seems a jus tification for neglect of those in need, and a rationalization of exploitation, of thesuperiority of those at the top and the inferiority of those at the bottom.This, however, would be a knee-jerk reaction to a subtle argument. Each set of circumstances, however bad,offers a unique opportunity for growth. If circumstances always determined the life and prospects of people,then humanity would never have progressed. In fact, (49)circumstances seem to be designed to bring out thebest in us and if we feel that we have been “wronged” then we are unlikely to begin a conscious effort to escapefrom our situation. Nevertheless, as any biographer knows, a person’s early life and its conditions are often thegreatest gift to an individual.The sobering aspect of Allen’s book is that we have no one else to blame for our present condition exceptourselves. (50)The upside is the possibilities contained in knowing that everything is up to us; where before wewere experts in the array of limitations, now we become authorities of what is possible.

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. <40 points>Text1The longest bull run in a century of art-market history ended on a dramatic note with a sale of 56 works by Damien Hirst, "Beautiful Inside My Head Forever",at Sotheby’s in London on September 15th 2008. All but two pieces sold, fetching more than ￡70m, a record for a sale by a single artist. It was a last victory. As the auctioneer called out bids, in New York one of the oldest banks on Wall Street, Lehman Brothers, filed for bankruptcy.The world art market had already been losing momentum for a while after rising bewilderingly since 2003. At its peak in 2007 it was worth some $65 billion, reckons Clare McAndrew, founder of Arts Economics, a research firm—double the figure five years earlier. Since then it may have come down to $50 billion. But the market generates interest far beyond its size because it brings together great wealth, enormous egos, greed, passion and controversy in a way matched by few other industries.In the weeks and months that followed Mr Hirst’s sale, spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable, especially in New York, where the bail-out of the banks coincided with the loss of thousands of jobs and the financial demise of many art-buying investors. In the art world that meant collectors stayed away from galleries and salerooms. Sales of contemporary art fell by two-thirds, and in the most overheated sector—for Chinese contemporary art—they were down by nearly 90% in the year to November 2008. Within weeks the world’s two biggest auction houses, Sotheby’s and Christie’s, had to pay out nearly $200m in guarantees to clients who had placed works for sale with them.The current downturn in the art market is the worst since the Japanese stopped buying Impressionists at the end of 1989, a move that started the most serious contraction in the market since the Second World War. This time experts reckon that prices are about 40% down on their peak on average, though some have been far more fluctuant. But Edward Dolman, Christie’s chief executive, says: "I’m pretty confident we’re at the bottom."What makes this slump different from the last, he says, is that there are still buyers in the market, whereas in the early 1990s, wh en interest rates were high, there was no demand even though many collectors wanted to sell. Christie’s revenues in the first half of 2009 were still higher than in the first half of 2006. Almost everyone who was interviewed for this special report said that the biggest problem at the moment is not a lack of demand but a lack of good work to sell. The three Ds—death, debt and divorce—still deliver works of art to the market. But anyone who does not have to sell is keeping away, waiting for confidence to return.21.In the first paragraph, Damien Hirst's sale was referred to as "a last victory"because ____.A.the art market hadwitnessed a succession of victoriesB.the auctioneer finally got the two pieces at the highest bidsC.Beautiful Inside My Head Forever won over all masterpiecesD.it was successfully made just before the world financial crisis22.By saying "spending of any sort became deeply unfashionable"<Line 1-2,Para.3>,the author suggests that_____.A. collectors were no longer actively involved in art-market auctionsB .people stopped every kind of spending and stayed away from galleriesC.art collection as a fashion had lost its appeal to a great extentD .works of art in general had gone out of fashion so they were not worth buying23. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A .Sales of contemporary art fell dramatically from 2007to 2008.B.The art market surpassed many other industries in momentum.C.The market generally went downward in various ways.D.Some art dealers were awaiting better chances to come.24.The three Ds mentioned in the last paragraph are ____A.auction houses ' favoritesB.contemporary trendsC.factors promoting artwork circulationD.styles representing impressionists25.The most appropriate title for this text could be ___A.Fluctuation of Art PricesB.Up-to-date Art AuctionsC.Art Market in DeclineD.Shifted Interest in ArtsI was addressing a small gathering in a suburban Virginia living room—a women's group that had invited men to join them. Throughout the evening one man had been particularly talkative, frequently offering ideas and anecdotes, while his wife sat silently beside him on the couch. Toward the end of the evening I commented that women frequently complain that their husbands don't talk to them. This man quickly nodded in agreement. He gestured toward his wife and said, "She's the talker in our family." The room burst into laughter; the man looked puzzled and hurt. "It's true," he explained. "When I come home from work, I have nothing to say. If she didn't keep the conversation going, we'd spend the whole evening in silence."This episode crystallizes the irony that although American men tend to talk more than women in public situations, they often talk less at home. And this pattern is wreaking havoc with marriage.The pattern was observed by political scientist Andrew Hacker in the late 1970s. Sociologist Catherine Kohler Riessman reports in her new book "Divorce Talk" that most of the women she interviewed—but only a few of the men—gave lack of communication as the reason for their divorces. Given the current divorce rate of nearly 50 percent,that amounts to millions of cases in the United States every year —a virtual epidemic of failed conversation.In my own research complaints from women about their husbands most often focused not on tangible inequities such as having given up the chance for a career to accompany a husband to his or doing far more than their share of daily life-support work like cleaning, cooking, social arrangements and errands. Instead they focused on communication: "He doesn't listen to me." "He doesn't talk to me." I found as Hacker observed years before that most wives want their husbands to be first and foremost conversational partners but few husbands share this expectation of their wives.In short the image that best represents the current crisis is the stereotypical cartoon scene of a man sitting at the breakfast table with a newspaper held up in front of his face, while a woman glares at the back of it, wanting to talk.26.What is most wives' main expectation of their husbands?A.Talking to them.B.Trusting them.C.Supporting their careers.D. Sharing housework.27.Judging from the context, the phrase "wreaking havoc"<Line 3,Para.2>most probably means ___ .A. generating motivation.B.exerting influenceC.causing damageD. creating pressure28.All of the following are true EXCEPT_______A.men tend to talk more in public than womenB.nearly 50percent of recent divorces are caused by failed conversationC.women attach much importance to communication between couplesD. a female tends to be more talkative at home than her spouse29.Which of the following can best summarize the main idea of this text?A.The moral decaying deserves more research by sociologists.B.Marriage break-up stems from sex inequalities.C.Husband and wife have different expectations from their marriage.D.Conversational patterns between man and wife are different.30.In the following part immediately after this text,the author will most probably focuson ______A.a vivid account of the new book Divorce TalkB.a detailed description of the stereotypical cartoonC.other possible reasons for a high divorce rate in the U.S.D. a brief introduction to the political scientist Andrew Hacker Text3Over the past decade, many companies had perfected the art of creating automatic behaviors — habits — among consumers. These habits have helped companies earn billions of dollars when customers eat snacks, apply lotions and wipe counters almost without thinking, often in response to a carefully designed set of daily cues."There are fundamental public health problems, like dirty hands instead of a soap habit, that remain killers only because we can’t figure out how to change people’s habits," Dr. Curtis said. "We wanted to learn from private industry how to create new behaviors that happen automatically."The companies that Dr. Curtis turned to — Procter & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive and Unilever — had invested hundreds of mil lions of dollars finding the subtle cues in consumers’ lives that corporations could use to introduce new routines.If you look hard enough, you’ll find that many of the products we use every day — chewing gums, skin moisturizers, disinfecting wipes, air fresheners, water purifiers, health snacks, antiperspirants, colognes, teeth whiteners, fabric softeners, vitamins— are results of manufactured habits. A century ago, few people regularly brushed their teeth multiple times a day. Today, because of canny advertising and public health campaigns, many Americans habitually give their pearly whites a cavity-preventing scrub twice a day, often with Colgate, Crest or one of the other brands.A few decades ago, many people didn’t drink water outside of a meal. Then beverage companies started bottling the production of far-off springs,and now office workers unthinkingly sip bottled water all day long. Chewing gum, once bought primarily by adolescent boys, is now featured in commercials as a breath freshener and teeth cleanser for use after a meal. Skin moisturizers are advertised as part of morning beauty rituals,slipped in between hair brushing and putting on makeup."Our products succeed when they become part of daily or weekly patterns," said Carol Berning, a consumer psychologist who recently retired from Procter & Gamble, the company that sold $76 billion of Tide, Crest and other products last year. "Creating positive habits is a huge part of improving our consumers’ lives, and it’s essential to making new produc ts commercially viable."Through experiments and observation, social scientists like Dr. Berning have learned that there is power in tying certain behaviors to habitual cues through relentless advertising. As this new science of habit has emerged, controversies have erupted when the tactics have been used to sell questionable beauty creams or unhealthy foods.31.According to Dr.Curtis,habits like hand washing with soap________.[A] should be further cultivated[B] should be changed graduallyCare deeply rooted in historyD are basically private concerns32.Bottled water,chewing gun and skin moisturizers are mentioned in Paragraph 5 so as to____[A] reveal their impact on people’s habits[B] show the urgent need of daily necessities[C]indicate their ef fect on people’s buying power[D]manifest the significant role of good habits33. Which of the following does NOT belong to products that help create people’s habits?[A]Tide[B]Crest[C]Colgate[D]Unilever34.From the text weknow that some of consum er’s habits are developed due to _____[A]perfected art of products[B]automatic behavior creation[C]commercial promotions[D]scientific experiments35. T he author’sattitude toward the influence of advertisement on people’s habits is____[A]indifferent[B]negative[C]positive[D]biasedText4Many Americans regard the jury system as a concrete expression of crucial democratic values, including the principles that all citizens who meet minimal qualifications of age and literacy are equally competent to serve on juries; that jurors should be selected randomly from a representative cross section of the community; that no citizen should be denied the right to serve on a jury on account of race, religion, sex, or national origin; that defendants are entitled to trial by their peers; and that verdicts should represent the conscience of the community and not just the letter of the law. The jury is also said to be the best surviving example of direct rather than representative democracy. In a direct democracy, citizens take turns governing themselves, ratherthan electing representatives to govern for them.But as recently as in 1986, jury selection procedures conflicted with these democratic ideals. In some states, for example, jury duty was limited to persons of supposedly superior intelligence, education, and moral character. Although the Supreme Court of the United States had prohibited intentional racial discrimination in jury selection as early as the 1880 case of Strauder v. West Virginia,the practice of selecting so-called elite or blue-ribbon juries provided a convenient way around this and other antidiscrimination laws.The system also failed to regularly include women on juries until the mid-20th century. Although women first served on state juries in Utah in 1898,it was not until the 1940s that a majority of states made women eligible for jury duty. Even then several states automatically exempted women from jury duty unless they personally asked to have their names included on the jury list. This practice was justified by the claim that women were needed at home, and it kept juries unrepresentative of women through the 1960s.In 1968, the Congress of the United States passed the Jury Selection and Service Act, ushering in a new era of democratic reforms for the jury.This law abolished special educational requirements for federal jurors and required them to be selected at random from a cross section of the entire community. In the landmark 1975 decision Taylor vs. Louisiana, the Supreme Court extended the requirement that juries be representative of all parts of the community to the state level. The Taylor decision also declared sex discrimination in jury selection to be unconstitutional and ordered states to use the same procedures for selecting male and female jurors.36.From the principles of theUS jury system,welearn that ______[A]both liberate and illiterate people can serve on juries[B]defendants are immune from trial by their peers[C]no age limit should be imposed for jury service[D]judgment should consider the opinion of the public37.The practice of selecting so-called elite jurors prior to 1968 showed_____[A]the inadequacy of antidiscrimination laws[B]the prevalent discrimination against certain races[C]the conflicting ideals in jury selection procedures[D]the arrogancecommon among the Supreme Court justices38.Even in the 1960s,women were seldom on the jury list in some states because_____[A]they were automatically banned by state laws[B]they fell far short of the required qualifications[C]they were supposed to perform domestic duties[D]they tended to evade public engagement39.After the Jury Selection and Service Act was passed.___[A]sex discrimination in jury selection was unconstitutional and had to be abolished[B]educational requirements became less rigid in the selection of federal jurors[C]jurors at the state level ought to be representative of the entire community[D]states ought to conform to the federal court in reforming the jury system40.

2011 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语（二）试题答案与解析Section I Use of English一、文章题材结构分析本文是一篇说明性的文章，主要讨论了互联网上的身份验证问题。

作者首先提出，由于网络用户的匿名现象带来的隐私泄露和网络犯罪问题，然后针对这些问题介绍了一种称为“自愿信任身份识别”系统的解决方法，并对这种方法做了评述。

二、试题解析1.【答案】A【解析】本题目考生需要关注两点：（1）空格前的主语（2）空格后的介词短语。

鉴于此，考生需要从四个选项中选出一个不及物动词，能与空格前的主语that（指代the explosion of cyber crime 网络犯罪的激增）构成主谓逻辑，并与空格后的介词短语across the Web 构成动宾逻辑。

A 项swept（打扫，席卷）可以做不及物动词，并能与空前的主语和空后的介词短语构成顺畅的逻辑关系，即在文中表示“匿名制是造成网络犯罪席卷互联网的原因”，故A为正确答案。

B 项skip 意为“跳过，掠过”；C 项walk 意为“走，步行”；D 项ride 意为“骑，乘，驾”虽可做不及物动词，但与空前主语和空后介词短语不构成完整的主谓搭配和动宾搭配，都是干扰项。

2.【答案】C【解析】本题目考生需要重点关注空格后的状语从句，状语从句引导词的选择主要考虑从句与主句之间的语意关系。

空格所在句子的主句是privacy be preserved（隐私得以保护），从句是省略了主语和助动词的bringing safety andsecurity to the world（带来网络世界的安全），由此可以推断本句是要表达“在给世界带来安全保障的同时，隐私是否能够得以保护呢？”，C 项while 意为“在……的同时，当……的时候”，可以表示伴随关系，故为正确答案。

A 项for 表示因果关系；B 项within 表示“在……里面，不超出”；D 项though 表示让步关系；在搭配上与doing并无典型用法，此外带入空格，整个句子逻辑也很不通顺，故为干扰选项。

2011年考研英语真题答案及解析2011年全国硕士研究生招生考试英语（一）答案详解Section I Use of English一、文章题材结构分析文章出自2009年4月的《科学美国人》（Scientific American）,作者Steve Ayan,原文题目为How Humor Makes You Friendlier,Sexier：幽默如何使你更加有人缘且性感。

文章主要探讨了笑的作用以及情感和肌肉反应之间的相互关系。

第一段由古希腊哲学家亚里士多德的观点引出“笑是有益于健康的身体运动”。

第二、三段承接上文，阐述了笑能放松肌肉，从而帮助减轻心理紧张的程度。

第四段以在1988年公布的一项实验为例论证了情绪是肌肉反应的结果，笑这一行为可以使心情好转。

二、试题解析1.[A]among在……之中[B]except除了[C]despite尽管[D]like像，如同【答案】[C]【考点】上下文逻辑关系+介词辨析【解析】第一段第一句意思是：古希腊哲学家亚里士多德把笑看作是“有益于健康的身体运动”，由连词but可知，第二句与第一句形成语义转折，即一些人提出相反的观点：笑不利于身体健康。

第二句逗号之后又提出：笑可能对身体健康几乎没有影响，这是对前两种观点的否定，由此判断第二句的句内逻辑是转折关系，[A]、[B]、[C]、[D]四个选项中只有[C]despite“尽管”表示转折，所以是正确答案。

2.[A]reflect反映[B]demand要求[C]indicate表明，预示[D]produce产生，引起【答案】[D]【考点】上下文语义衔接+动词辨析【解析】上下文语境是“笑确实能对心血管功能短期的改变”，具体说明笑对身体产生的影响。

所选动词要与后面的changes构成动宾关系，并且带有“发生……作用，产生……效果”的含义。

四个选项中[A]reflect“反映”，[B]demand“要求”，[C]indicate“表明，暗示”，[D]produce“产生”，只有[D]选项“产生、引起”符合本句语境，所以是正确答案。

2011年内蒙古大学研究生英语复试真题一、阅读(1 ) When young people get their first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations. They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school. It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations. Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior. In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person. For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis. Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations. By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.1. The young people just graduated from school may not behave well in theworking world, because _____.A. what they learned in university classes is not adequate for their new lifeB. they are not well educatedC. the society is too complicated to adapt toD. they failed to work hard at school2.

In the last line of the second paragraph, the word "approach" means_____.A. means of enteringB. speaking to someone for the first timeC. way of coming nearer toD. manner of doing something5. The passage could be best entitled _____.A. "Learn from a Model"B. "Learn, Learn and Learn Again"C. "Learn Forever"D. "One Is Never Too Old to Learn"( 2 ) The first English window was just a slit in the wall. It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather. However, the slit let in more wind than light. This is why it was called "the wind's eye." The word window itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain were dark and smoky. Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes. They made the wind's eyes wider so as to admit air and light. They stretched canvas of tapestry across them to keep out the weather.1. The first window was a _____.A. large hole in the wallB. hole covered with canvasC. slit in the wallD. slit with a piece of paper over it2. The word window meant _____.A. opening to look throughB. light givenC. windD. wind's eye3. The window got its name because it _____.A. kept out the windB. blew out the smokeC. let in more wind than lightD. let in mostly light4. In the ancient castles, smoke went out through _____.A. the windowsB. the doors B. the chimney D. a hole in the roof5. It seems true that the larger, canvas-covered windows _____.A. were not as good as the first windowsB. let in more light and kept out more windC. did not let any air inD. were as good as today's windows( 3 ) It was once believed that a person was in great danger when he sneezed-people imagined that the soul could escape from the body at the moment of sneezing. "God bless you" was a prayer for assistance in keeping the soul where it belonged.The German word Gesundheit (good health) is a variation of this prayer; the Irish deiseal and the Italian felicita are similar prayers. The Hindus say a word that means "live," and when a Mohammedan sneezes, he praises God.The Zulus of South Africa, far from being afraid of sneezes, believe that a sneeze signifies a friendly spirit's blessing. Whenever a child sneezes, they shout "Grow!" hoping the friendly spirit that stimulated the sneeze will help the child grow tall and strong. The ancient Hebrews also believed that a sneeze was good-a sneeze indicates life; the dead never sneeze.The Japanese say that if you sneeze once, someone is saying good things about you; if you sneeze twice, bad things are being said about you; if you sneeze three times, you have caught a cold.1. People once thought that anyone who sneezed was _____.A. sickB. in dangerC. in good healthD. evil2. "God bless you" was said in order to _____.A. make children grow tall and strongB. insure good healthC. keep the soul in the bodyD. prevent someone from saying evil things about the sneezer3. Gesundheit is a sneezing prayer most like _____.A. the Zulu prayerB. "God bless you"C. the Japanese prayerD. a warning4. The Zulus believe that sneezing is caused by _____.A. a good spiritB. a bad spiritC. illnessD. children5. It would be reasonable to conclude that _____.A. many people say prayers when they sneezeB. a prayer keeps the soul where it belongsC. all peoples were afraid of sneezesD. the moment of sneezing is very dangerous二．单选1.

(10 points)The Internet affords anonymity to its users， a blessing to privacy and freedom of speech. But that very anonymity is also behind the explosion of cyber-crime that has 1 across the Web.Can privacy be preserved 2 bringing safety and security to a world that seems increasingly 3 ？Last month， Howard Schmidt， the nation's cyber-czar， offered the federal government a 4 to make the Web a safer place-a "voluntary trusted identity" system that would be the high-tech 5 of a physical key， a fingerprint and a photo ID card， all rolled 6 one. The system might use a smart identity card， or a digital credential 7 to a specific computer .and would authenticate users at a range of online services.The idea is to 8 a federation of private online identity systems. User could 9 which system to join， and only registered users whose identities have been authenticated could navigate those systems. The approach contrasts with one that would require an Internet driver's license 10 by the government.Google and Microsoft are among companies that already have these"single sign-on" systems that make it possible for users to 11 just once but use many different services.12 .the approach would create a "walled garden" n cyberspace， with safe "neighborhoods" and bright "streetlights" to establish a sense of a 13 community.Mr. Schmidt described it as a "voluntary ecosystem" in which "individuals and organizations can complete online transactions with 14 ，trusting the identities of each other and the identities of the infrastructure 15 which the transaction runs".Still， the administration's plan has 16 privacy rights activists. Some applaud the approach； others are concerned. It seems clear that such a scheme is an initiative push toward what would 17 be a compulsory Internet "drive's license" mentality.The plan has also been greeted with 18 by some computer security experts， who worry that the "voluntary ecosystem" envisioned by Mr. Schmidt would still leave much of the Internet 19 .They argue that all Internet users should be 20 to register and identify themselves， in the same way that drivers must be licensed to drive on public roads.1． A.swept B.skipped C.walked D.ridden2． A.for B.within C.while D.though3． A.careless wless C.pointless D.helpless4． A.reason B.reminder promise D.proposal5． rmation B.interference C.entertainment D.equivalent6． A.by B.into C.from D.over7． A.linked B.directed C.chained pared8． A.dismiss B.discover C.create D.improve9． A.recall B.suggest C.select D.realize10． A.relcased B.issued C.distributed D.delivered11． A.carry on B.linger on C.set in D.log in12． A.In vain B.In effect C.In return D.In contrast13． A.trusted B.modernized c.thriving peting14． A.caution B.delight C.confidence D.patience15． A.on B.after C.beyond D.across16． A.divided B.disappointed C.protected D.united17． A.frequestly B.incidentally C.occasionally D.eventually18． A.skepticism B.relerance C.indifference D.enthusiasm19． A.manageable B.defendable C.vulnerable D.invisible20． A.invited B.appointed C.allowed D.forcedSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections：Read the following four texts.

(40points)Text 1Ruth Simmons joined Goldman Sachs's board as an outside director in January 2000： a year later she became president of Brown University. For the rest of the decade she apparently managed both roles without attracting much eroticism. But by the end of 2009 Ms. Simmons was under fire for having sat on Goldman's compensation committee； how could she have let those enormous bonus payouts pass unremarked？ By February the next year Ms. Simmons had left the board. The position was just taking up too much time， she said.Outside directors are supposed to serve as helpful， yet less biased， advisers on a firm's board. Having made their wealth and their reputations elsewhere， they presumably have enough independence to disagree with the chief executive's proposals. If the sky， and the share price is falling， outside directors should be able to give advice based on having weathered their own crises.The researchers from Ohio University used a database hat covered more than 10，000 firms and more than 64，000 different directors between 1989 and 2004. Then they simply checked which directors stayed from one proxy statement to the next. The most likely reason for departing a board was age， so the researchers concentrated on those "surprise" disappearances by directors under the age of 70. They fount that after a surprise departure，the probability that the company will subsequently have to restate earnings increased by nearly 20%. The likelihood of being named in a federal class-action lawsuit also increases，and the stock is likely to perform worse. The effect tended to be larger for larger firms. Although a correlation between them leaving and subsequent bad performance at the firm is suggestive， it does not mean that such directors are always jumping off a sinking ship. Often they "trade up." Leaving riskier， smaller firms for larger and more stable firms.But the researchers believe that outside directors have an easier time of avoiding a blow to their reputations if they leave a firm before bad news breaks， even if a reviewof history shows they were on the board at the time any wrongdoing occurred. Firms who want to keep their outside directors through tough times may have to create incentives. Otherwise outside directors will follow the example of Ms. Simmons， once again very popular on campus.21. According to Paragraph 1， Ms. Simmons was criticized for .[A]gaining excessive profits[B]failing to fulfill her duty[C]refusing to make compromises[D]leaving the board in tough times22. We learn from Paragraph 2 that outside directors are supposed to be .[A]generous investors[B]unbiased executives[C]share price forecasters[D]independent advisers23. According to the researchers from Ohio University after an outside director's surprise departure， the firm is likely to .[A]become more stable[B]report increased earnings[C]do less well in the stock market[D]perform worse in lawsuits24. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that outside directors .[A]may stay for the attractive offers from the firm[B]have often had records of wrongdoings in the firm[C]are accustomed to stress-free work in the firm[D]will decline incentives from the firm25. The author's attitude toward the role of outside directors is .[A]permissive[B]positive[C]scornful[D]criticalText 2Whatever happened to the death of newspaper？ A year ago the end seemed near. The recession threatened to remove the advertising and readers that had not already fled to the internet. Newspapers like the San Francisco Chronicle were chronicling their own doom. America's Federal Trade commission launched a round of talks about how to save newspapers. Should they become charitable corporations？ Should the state subsidize them ？ It will hold another meeting soon. But the discussions now seem out of date.In much of the world there is the sign of crisis. German and Brazilian papers have shrugged off the recession. Even American newspapers， which inhabit the most troubled come of the global industry， have not only survived but often returned to profit. Not the 20% profit margins that were routine a few years ago， but profit all the same.It has not been much fun. Many papers stayed afloat by pushing journalists overboard. The American Society of News Editors reckons that 13，500 newsroom jobs have gone since 2007. Readers are paying more for slimmer products. Some papers even had the nerve to refuse delivery to distant suburbs. Yet these desperate measures have proved the right ones and，sadly for many journalists， they can be pushed further.Newspapers are becoming more balanced businesses， with a healthier mix of revenues from readers and advertisers. American papers have long been highly unusual in their reliance on ads. Fully 87% of their revenues came from advertising in 2008， according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD). In Japan the proportion is 35%. Not surprisingly， Japanese newspapers are much more stable.The whirlwind that swept through newsrooms harmed everybody， but much of the damage has been concentrated in areas where newspaper are least distinctive. Car and film reviewers have gone. So have science and general business reporters. Foreign bureaus have been savagely cut off. Newspapers are less complete as a result. But completeness is no longer a virtue in the newspaper business.26. By saying "Newspapers like … their own doom" (Lines 3-4， Para. 1)， the author indicates that newspaper .[A]neglected the sign of crisis[B]failed to get state subsidies[C]were not charitable corporations[D]were in a desperate situation27. Some newspapers refused delivery to distant suburbs probably because .[A]readers threatened to pay less[B]newspapers wanted to reduce costs[C]journalists reported little about these areas[D]subscribers complained about slimmer products28. Compared with their American counterparts， Japanese newspapers are much more stable because they .[A]have more sources of revenue[B]have more balanced newsrooms[C]are less dependent on advertising[D]are less affected by readership29. What can be inferred from the last paragraph about the current newspaper business？[A]Distinctiveness is an essential feature of newspapers.[B]Completeness is to blame for the failure of newspaper.[C]Foreign bureaus play a crucial role in the newspaper business.[D]Readers have lost their interest in car and film reviews.30. The most appropriate title for this text would be .[A]American Newspapers： Struggling for Survival[B]American Newspapers： Gone with the Wind[C]American Newspapers： A Thriving Business[D]American Newspapers： A Hopeless StoryText 3We tend to think of the decades immediately following World War II as a time of prosperity and growth， with soldiers returning home by the millions， going off to college on the G.I. Bill and lining up at the marriage bureaus.But when it came to their houses， it was a time of common sense and a belief that less could truly be more. During the Depression and the war， Americans had learned to live with less， and that restraint， in combination with the postwar confidence in the future， made small， efficient housing positively stylish.Economic condition was only a stimulus for the trend toward efficient living. The phrase "less is more" was actually first popularized by a German， the architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe， who like other people associated with the Bauhaus， a school of design， emigrated to the United States before World War IIand took up posts at American architecture schools. These designers came to exert enormous influence on the course of American architecture， but none more so that Mies.Mies's signature phrase means that less decoration， properly organized， has more impact that a lot. Elegance， he believed， did not derive from abundance. Like other modern architects， he employed metal， glass and laminated wood-materials that we take for granted today buy that in the 1940s symbolized the future. Mies's sophisticated presentation masked the fact that the spaces he designed were small and efficient， rather than big and often empty.The apartments in the elegant towers Mies built on Chicago's Lake Shore Drive， for example， were smaller-two-bedroom units under 1，000 square feet-than those in their older neighbors along the city's Gold Coast. But they were popular because of their airy glass walls， the views they afforded and the elegance of the buildings' details and proportions，the architectural equivalent of the abstract art so popular at the time.The trend toward "less" was not entirely foreign. In the 1930s Frank Lloyd Wright started building more modest and efficient houses-usually around 1，200 square feet-than the spreading two-story ones he had designed in the 1890s and the early 20th century.The "Case Study Houses" commissioned from talented modern architects by California Arts & Architecture magazine between 1945 and 1962 were yet another homegrown influence on the "less is more" trend. Aesthetic effect came from the landscape， new materials and forthright detailing. In his Case Study House， Ralph everyday life - few American families acquired helicopters， though most eventually got clothes dryers - but his belief thatself-sufficiency was both desirable and inevitable was widely shared.31. The postwar American housing style largely reflected the Americans' .[A]prosperity and growth[B]efficiency and practicality[C]restraint and confidence[D]pride and faithfulness32. Which of the following can be inferred from Paragraph 3 about Bauhaus？[A]It was founded by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.[B]Its designing concept was affected by World War II.[C]Most American architects used to be associated with it.[D]It had a great influence upon American architecture.33. Mies held that elegance of architectural design .[A]was related to large space[B]was identified with emptiness[C]was not reliant on abundant decoration[D]was not associated with efficiency34. What is true about the apartments Mies building Chicago's Lake Shore Drive？[A]They ignored details and proportions.[B]They were built with materials popular at that time.[C]They were more spacious than neighboring buildings.[D]They shared some characteristics of abstract art.35. What can we learn about the design of the "Case Study House"？[A]Mechanical devices were widely used.[B]Natural scenes were taken into consideration[C]Details were sacrificed for the overall effect.[D]Eco-friendly materials were employed.Text 4Will the European Union make it？ The question would have sounded strange not long ago. Now even the project's greatest cheerleaders talk of a continent facing a "Bermuda triangle" of debt， population decline and lower growth.As well as those chronic problems， the EU face an acute crisis in its economic core，the 16 countries that use the single currency. Markets have lost faith that the euro zone'seconomies， weaker or stronger， will one day converge thanks to the discipline of sharing a single currency， which denies uncompetitive members the quick fix of devaluation.Yet the debate about how to save Europe's single currency from disintegration is stuck. It is stuck because the euro zone's dominant powers， France and Germany， agree on the need for greater harmonization within the euro zone， but disagree about what to harmonies.Germany thinks the euro must be saved by stricter rules on borrow spending and competitiveness， barked by quasi-automatic sanctions for governments that do not obey. These might include threats to freeze EU funds for poorer regions and EU mega-projects and even the suspension of a country's voting rights in EU ministerial councils. It insists that economic co-ordination should involve all 27 members of the EU club， among whom there is a small majority for free-market liberalism and economic rigour； in the inner core alone，Germany fears， a small majority favour French interference.A "southern" camp headed by French wants something different： "European economic government" within an inner core of euro-zone members. Translated， that means politicians intervening in monetary policy and a system of redistribution from richer to poorer members，via cheaper borrowing for governments through common Eurobonds or complete fiscal transfers. Finally， figures close to the France government have murmured， curo-zone members should agree to some fiscal and social harmonization： e.g.， curbing competition in corporate-tax rates or labour costs.It is too soon to write off the EU. It remains the world's largest trading block. At its best， the European project is remarkably liberal： built around a single market of 27 rich and poor countries， its internal borders are far more open to goods， capital and labour than any comparable trading area. It is an ambitious attempt to blunt the sharpest edges of globalization， and make capitalism benign.36. The EU is faced with so many problems that .[A] it has more or less lost faith in markets[B] even its supporters begin to feel concerned[C] some of its member countries plan to abandon euro[D] it intends to deny the possibility of devaluation37. The debate over the EU's single currency is stuck because the dominantpowers .[A] are competing for the leading position[B] are busy handling their own crises[C] fail to reach an agreement on harmonization[D] disagree on the steps towards disintegration38. To solve the euro problem ，Germany proposed that .[A] EU funds for poor regions be increased[B] stricter regulations be imposed[C] only core members be involved in economic co-ordination[D] voting rights of the EU members be guaranteed39. The French proposal of handling the crisis implies that __ __.［A］poor countries are more likely to get funds［B］strict monetary policy will be applied to poor countries［C］loans will be readily available to rich countries［D］rich countries will basically control Eurobonds40.

招生专业：德语语言文学 科目名称：翻译理论与实践 Rede Dr. Guido Westerwelle, MdB Bundesminister des Auswärtigen anläßlich der Eröffnung des Begleitprogramms zur Ausstellung …Kunst der Aufklärung“ in Peking, am 2. April 2011报考专业姓名考生编号Sehr geehrter Herr Minister Cai,Exzellenzen,meine Damen und Herren,gestern haben wir die großartige Ausstellung zur Kunst derAufklärung hier im Chinesischen Nationalmuseum eröffnet. Ichfreue mich, dass wir heute die Möglichkeit haben, das Gesprächfortzusetzen über die Zeit der Aufklärung, ihre Werte und Ideenund was diese heut für uns bedeuten. Mein besonderer Dank giltIhnen, Minister Cai und dem chinesischen Kulturministeriumsowie dem Chinesischen Nationalmuseum und der StiftungMercator. Ohne Ihr gemeinsames Engagement wäre diesesDialogprogramm nicht zustande gekommen.Wir wollen den offenen, regen Austausch mit der chinesischenGesellschaft. Ausdrücklich richten wir uns nicht nur an Experten,sondern an die breite interessierte chinesische Öffentlichkeit.Durch dieses Dialogprogramm wollen wir einen Diskussionsprozess anstoßen, der über die Ausstellung hinausseine Wirkung entfaltet.Anrede,vor dreißig Jahren begann mit Chinas Reform- und Öffnungspolitik der große Aufbruch in Ihrem Land. Die Befreiungvon den starren Vorgaben der Planwirtschaft setzte in China eine wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Dynamik in Gang, die Ihr Land zur zweitgrößten Wirtschaftsmacht der Welt gemacht hat.China befreite in wenigen Jahrzehnten hunderte Millionen seiner Menschen aus Hunger und Armut. Der Lebensstandard und das Bildungsniveau haben sich für viele massiv verbessert.Hunderte Millionen Chinesinnen und Chinesen gehören inzwischen zu einer gebildeten, dynamischen Mittelschicht. Diese Mittelschicht wird bald die Einwohnerzahl Europas erreichen. Eine wachsende Mittelschicht ist nicht nur eine ökonomische Größe. Dort, wo Mittelschichten wachsen, wächst auch die Gerechtigkeit, weil der Graben zwischen Arm und Reich überwindbarer wird. Eine starke Mittelschicht ist die Klammer einer Gesellschaft.Kaum jemand im Westen kann sich der Faszination des Aufbruchs Chinas entziehen. Vom Optimismus und der hohen Leistungsbereitschaft Ihres Landes können wir viel lernen. Das chinesische Volk hat allen Grund, stolz zu sein.Premier Wen Jiabao hat in seinem jüngsten Jahresbericht darauf hingewiesen, welche Herausforderungen noch vor China auf dem Weg in seine eigene Moderne liegen. Der Schutz der natürlichen Ressourcen, der Ausgleich zwischen Stadt und Land, der Ausgleich zwischen Arm und Reich sind nur einige Bereiche, die er nannte. Premier Wen bestätigte den Willen Chinas, den Weg der wirtschaftlichen und politischen Reformen unbeirrt weiterzugehen.Zentral für den Erfolg dieses Kurses ist, dass nicht eine Ideologie,sondern der Mensch selbst in den Mittelpunkt der Politik gerücktwird. Die Freiheit des Einzelnen ist die Grundlage für bessereErgebnisse für alle. Den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern Chinas wirdes zunehmend möglich, selbstbestimmt eigene Ziele zu verfolgen. Die neuen Möglichkeiten der Menschen, zu reisen,sich zu bilden, Handel zu treiben, entfesselten die Leistungsbereitschaft, Kreativität und Innovationskraft jedes Einzelnen zu Gunsten aller. Wie kein anderes Land hat Chinaden Entwicklungsschub dieses Aufbruchs erlebt.Anrede,manches an Chinas großem Aufbruch erinnert uns an unsereeigene Geschichte. Der Kurs, den China in den letzten Jahrzehnten eingeschlagen hat, musste sich in Europa überJahrhunderte Bahn brechen.Rückblickend sprechen wir von der …Epoche der Aufklärung“.Tatsächlich beschreibt die Aufklärung keine historisch klar abgrenzbare Periode, sondern einen langen Erkenntnisprozess,der immer wieder auch von Rückschlägen begleitet wurde. Dereuropäische Weg aus der Vormoderne hin zu geordneten, rechtsstaatlichen und wohlhabenden Staatswesen war keineswegs vorgezeichnet.Die Aufklärung markiert einen Einschnitt in die Geschichte desDenkens. Die Vorstellung war, das Selbstdenken der Menschenzu fördern und die Kritikfähigkeit an vorgegebenen Denkgewohnheiten zu stärken. Im Mittelpunkt stand die Berufungauf die Vernunft als universelle Urteilsinstanz.Vernunft begründete die Freiheit des Einzelnen zur Selbstbestimmung. Das führte schließlich zu der Garantie der Menschen- und Bürgerrechte und zu der Verpflichtung moderner Staaten auf das Gemeinwohl.Die Wertschätzung der Vernunft bewirkte eine Hinwendung zu Bildung und Wissenschaft. Mehr Menschen kamen in den Genuß von Bildung und neue Wissenschaftszweige entwickelten sich. Namen wie Kant, Leibniz und Humboldt stehen für diese Entwicklung.Das Vertrauen auf die Kraft der Vernunft strahlte weit aus auf die Politik, die Gesellschaft und die Wissenschaft im Europa des späten 18. und 19. Jahrhunderts. Damals wurde das Fundament gelegt, auf dem unser Gemeinwesen heute steht.Anrede,Die Werte der Aufklärung waren nie ein Patent der Europäer. Die Denker der Aufklärung waren beeinflusst von Ideen aus anderen Kontinenten. China spielte dabei eine große Rolle. Der Philosoph Christian Wolff beispielsweise war ein begeisterter Kenner der Schriften Konfuzius´. Durch die konfuzianischen Ideen von Vernunft und verantwortungsvoller Herrschaft sahen sich europäische Aufklärer wie er darin bestätigt, dass ihren eigenen Vorstellungen Allgemeingültigkeit zukam.Wir sind von der Universalität dieser Werte überzeugt. Freiheit,Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit sind die wichtigste Orientierung für die Gestaltung unserer Politik.Aber wir wissen auch: Universalität der Werte bedeutet nicht Uniformität. Auch im Westen musste jedes Land seinen eigenen Weg in die Moderne finden. Heute sehen wir, dass viele Länder auf unserem Erdball ihren Weg in die Moderne suchen. Der Kompass sollte für alle Länder in Richtung Freiheit, Demokratie und Rechtstaatlichkeit zeigen, auch wenn die Wege dorthin sehr unterschiedlich sind. Für die einen ist dieser Weg leichter, für die anderen beschwerlicher. Jedes Land ist anders. Jedes Land hat seine Geschichte.Jedes Land schuldet jedem Land Respekt.Anrede,Deutschland steht eindeutig auf der Seite von Freiheit, Demokratie und Rechtstaatlichkeit. Nicht nur, weil wir rückblickend aus der Zeit der Aufklärung wissen, welch´ epochale Errungenschaften diese Werte für die Menschen gebracht haben.Als knapp Dreißigjähriger wurde ich Zeitzeuge des großen Aufbruchs in Mittel- und Osteuropa. Wir Deutschen erlebten das Glück eines friedlichen Aufbruchs im eigenen Land, der uns die Einheit Deutschlands und schließlich die Vereinigung Europas gebracht hat.Viele sprechen rückblickend vom …Fall der Mauer“. Aber dieMauer ist nicht gefallen. Die Mauer wurde eingerissen durch den Freiheitswillen der Menschen. Die Menschen sehnten sich nach einer freien und demokratischen Gesellschaft, die ihre Würde respektiert.Stabilität steht dazu nicht im Gegensatz. Ganz im Gegenteil: Freie, vielfältige Gesellschaften bieten auf lange Sicht mehr Stabilität als unfreie Gesellschaften, die in erzwungener Einheit verharren. Instabilität und Chaos sind keine Folgen von Freiheit, sondern das Ergebnis von Unterdrückung und Stagnation.Anrede,viele außereuropäische Völker, auch China, haben unter kolonialer Herrschaft furchtbar gelitten. Kolonialismus gehört zu den Schattenseiten der europäischen Geschichte. Zuhause kämpften europäische Völker um Teilhabe und Unabhängigkeit, außerhalb Europas unterwarfen sie ganze Kontinente und beuteten sie aus.Mit Blick auf die Kolonialzeit sehen manche das westliche Engagement für Menschenrechte mit Misstrauen. Manche haben Befürchtungen, dass die Menschenrechte für den Westen nur ein Instrument der Bevormundung sind. Von Menschenrechten aber reden wir nicht mit erhobenem Zeigefinger. Von guter Regierungsführung sprechen wir nicht, um anderen unser Lebensmodell aufzudrängen, sondern weil sie den Bürgerinnen und Bürgern dient. Die Universalität der Menschenrechte steht außer Frage.Artikel 1 des Deutschen Grundgesetzes lautet: …Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar.“ Die Menschenwürde als obersten Wert unseres Grundgesetzes festzuschreiben, ist auch eine Konsequenz aus dem dunkelsten Kapitel deutscher Geschichte. Diese Norm bindet alle deutsche Politik. Sie begründet die Werteorientierung der deutschen Außenpolitik und unseren Einsatz für die Menschenrechte weltweit.Menschenrechtsschutz richtet sich nicht gegen Staaten, sondern unterstützt ihre Stabilität und Entwicklung.Anrede,die Verankerung der Menschenrechte in der chinesischen Verfassung war einer der wichtigsten Fortschritte Chinas seit der Befreiung und Öffnung vor 30 Jahren. Die universelle Bedeutung der Menschenrechte hat auch Staatspräsident Hu Jintao bei seinem Besuch in Washington im Januar erneut hervorgehoben.China hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten beim Schutz der sozialen Menschenrechte seiner Bürger wichtige Fortschritte gemacht. Deutschland begrüßt diese Entwicklung ausdrücklich. Seit Jahren führen wir mit China regelmäßig einen Dialog auch zu den politischen Freiheitsrechten. Wir mögen nicht immer einer Meinung sein. Dafür sind unsere Systeme und Perspektiven zu verschieden. Die Menschen in Deutschland sehen manches in China kritisch, zum Beispiel den Vollzug der Todesstrafe oder den Umgang mit Andersdenkenden. Gerade deshalb legen wir großen Wert darauf, den Dialog auch in Zukunft weiter intensiv zu pflegen.Die chinesische Regierung hat uns immer wieder zu erkennen gegeben, welch hohe Bedeutung sie dem Aufbau eines funktionierenden Rechtsstaats bei der Entwicklung des Landes zumisst. Beim Kampf gegen Korruption, beim Aufbau einer rechenschaftspflichtigen und transparenten Administration, bei der Dienstleistungsorientierung von Verwaltung und Regierung wurden bereits beachtliche Fortschritte erzielt. Wir sehen Chinasgroße Anstrengungen, hier weiter voranzukommen. Zufriedenheit und Stabilität ohne Gerechtigkeit gibt es nicht.Wir sind stolz darauf, im Rechtsstaatsdialog einen Beitrag zu dengroßen chinesischen Modernisierungsvorhaben im Rechtsbereich leisten zu können und werden China hierin auch weiterhin unterstützen.Die Arbeit des Internationalen Strafgerichtshofes ist aus unserer Sicht von großer Bedeutung. Wir glauben, dass Staaten, die dem Statut über den Internationalen Strafgerichtshof noch fernbleiben,ein falsches Signal setzen. Chinas Beitritt zum Statut wäre ein wichtiges Zeichen für Frieden, Stabilität und Gerechtigkeit weltweit.Anrede,unsere komplexe Welt wirft immer wieder Fragen auf, auf die jede Gesellschaft neue Antworten finden muss. Menschenrechts-und Bürgerrechtsschutz ist eine Aufgabe, die nie vollendet ist, sie dauert stets an. In Deutschland beispielsweise wird derzeit vieldarüber diskutiert, wie die Privatsphäre der Menschen im Internetbesser geschützt werden kann. Das Internet darf kein rechtsfreier Raum sein. Aber die Offenheit des Netzes ist ein hoher Wert.Das Internet und die Sicherheit des Internets stellen die Politik in Zeiten der Globalisierung vor neue Herausforderungen. Bei der immer dichteren Vernetzung der Welt und bei den immensen Datenströmen rund um unseren Globus kann kein Land allein diesen Herausforderungen begegnen.Für uns stehen nicht die Risiken, sondern die Chancen des Internets klar im Vordergrund.Ohne das Internet wäre die wirtschaftliche Dynamik der vergangenen beiden Jahrzehnte nicht denkbar. Das Internet ermöglicht Bildung, wo Schulen und Universitäten fehlen. Das Internet beschleunigt den Wissensaustausch und damit wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen. Das Internet hat eine neue globale Öffentlichkeit geschaffen. Die neuen Möglichkeiten, sich zu organisieren, stärken Zivilgesellschaften. Und gut entwickelte Zivilgesellschaften sind die Basis für erfolgreiche und stabile Staatswesen.Kaum ein Land hat das Internet so rasch angenommen und seine Chancen so intensiv zu nutzen gewusst, wie China. Kein Land der Welt hat mehr Internet-Nutzer. Weltweit erreicht das Internet inzwischen zwei Milliarden Menschen – und die Zahl steigt.Das Internet ist die Schlüsseltechnologie der Globalisierung. DieOffenheit des Netzes ist ein hoher Wert.Anrede,heute ist das Internet der entscheidende Beschleuniger der modernen Aufklärung. In Zeiten der europäischen Aufklärung war es die Entwicklung des Presse- und Verlagswesens, die das alltägliche Leben der Menschen von Grund auf veränderte.Damals entstand eine neue, oft auch kritische Öffentlichkeit.Eine lebhafte, kritische Öffentlichkeit ist für Regierende nicht immer erbaulich. Das war zu Zeiten der Aufklärung so und das ist heute so. Das ist in China so und das ist auch in Deutschland so.Was aber vielleicht für Regierende manchmal schwer erträglich ist, ist für die gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung eines Landes zentral. Bisher Akzeptiertes anzuzweifeln, feste Gewissheiten in Frage zu stellen, das ist die Haltung, die Fortschritt bringt. Zweifel ist nichts Destruktives. Die Kultur des Zweifelns und der konstruktiven Kritik ist Motor, aus Gutem Besseres zu machen. Wer Zweifel unterbindet, gewinnt nicht Stabilität, sondern riskiert Stagnation.Anrede,die Schriften Konfuzius´ waren für die europäischen Aufklärer tief beeindruckend, gerade auch in der Bildung. Aufstieg und gesellschaftlicher Erfolg sollten von Verdienst und Fähigkeit, nicht von Klassenzugehörigkeit abhängen. Jeder Mensch sollte die Möglichkeit haben, sein Potenzial durch Bildung zu entfalten.Bildung ist nicht nur der Schlüssel für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben. Bildung stärkt Toleranz und Offenheit und macht stark gegen Diskriminierung und Vorurteile. Von der Bildung jedes Einzelnen profitiert die ganze Gesellschaft. In einer sich globalisierenden Welt entscheiden nicht Bodenschätze über den langfristigen und stabilen Erfolg eines Landes, sondern ein erstklassiges, gerechtes und durchlässiges Bildungssystem.In diesem Jahr studieren etwa 2.7 Millionen Studenten außerhalb ihres Heimatlandes. 2025 sollen es über 7 Millionen sein, viele davon werden aus China kommen.Deutsche Hochschulen bieten Exzellenz in Lehre und Forschung. An deutschen Universitäten lernen derzeit über 25.000 chinesische Studentinnen und Studenten. Das ist die größte Gruppe ausländischer Studierender in Deutschland. Über 400 Hochschulkooperationen gibt es zwischen deutschen und chinesischen Hochschulen. Weltweiter Austausch und Kooperation in Bildung und Wissenschaft sind für Deutschland von herausragender Bedeutung.China hat es in wenigen Jahrzehnten geschafft, erfolgreich den Analphabetismus im eigenen Land zu bekämpfen.Der Bildungshunger der Chinesen, ihre Bereitschaft, für Bildung Anstrengungen auf sich zu nehmen und ihre Lust am Wettbewerb sind für uns ein bewundertes Vorbild. In dieser Hinsicht können wir heute erneut von China lernen.Bildung ist auch eine Frage der Haltung. In Zeiten der Aufklärungentbrannte ein regelrechter Zukunfts- und Fortschrittsoptimismus. Diese Haltung ist auch heute der Schlüssel für eine erfolgreiche Gestaltung der Globalisierung.Wer beispielsweise den Klimawandel bekämpfen will, muss auf Innovation, neue Technologien und Austausch setzen. Nur so nutzen wir die Herausforderung des Klimaschutzes als Chance zu fairer Entwicklung und vertiefter Zusammenarbeit.Die Fragen nach Klimaschutz und Energiesicherheit stellen sich neu unter dem Eindruck der schrecklichen Katastrophe in Japan. Klar ist, dass wir nach den Ereignissen in Japan nicht einfach zur Tagesordnung zurückkehren können.Die Katastrophe in Japan hat uns auch die Bedeutung beispielsweise der Internationalen Atomenergiebehörde dramatisch vor Augen geführt. Radioaktivität macht an keiner Landesgrenze halt. In einer globalisierten Welt brauchen wir starke und demokratisch legitimierte internationale Institutionen. Im Kern einer solchen Ordnung stehen die Vereinten Nationen. Sie schaffen verbindliches Völkerrecht. Sie haben universelle Legitimität und universelle Reichweite.Anrede,nach dem Ende des Kalten Krieges glaubten manche an ein Ende der Geschichte. Sie glaubten, das Ende der bipolaren Welt sei der endgültige Sieg der Aufklärung. Und manche zogen daraus falsche Schlüsse. Aber Aufklärung lässt sich nicht mit Gewalt durchsetzen, genauso wenig wie sie sich durch Gewaltverhindern lässt.Wir erleben heute, wie immer mehr Gesellschaften in der Welt die Werte der Aufklärung für sich entdecken und einfordern. Sie werden die europäischen Modelle nicht unverändert übernehmen. Die Zeit der Aufklärung wird in diesen Ländern anders verlaufen, als es die Ausstellung …Kunst der Aufklärung“ für Europa und für Deutschland zeigt. Jedes Land wird seinen eigenen, neuen Weg in eine aufgeklärte Moderne finden.Wir stehen nicht am Ende der Geschichte, wir stehen am Beginn der Zukunft. Zukunft gewinnt, wer neugierig ist. Die große Neugier aufeinander, die sich auch in diesem einzigartigen Ausstellungprojekt ausdrückt, ist die beste Zukunftsversicherung für die deutsch-chinesischen Beziehungen.Ich danke für Ihre Aufmerksamkeit.。

1．Whatever the explanation, the idea of a work-life balance is a staple of European discourse, studied in think tanks, mulled over by policymakers. In the US, the term, when it’s used at all, is said with the sort of sneer reserved for those who eat quiche. But it might still catch on. When Bill Keller was named executive editor of the New York Times last week, he encouraged the staff to do “a little more savoring” of life, spending time with their families or viewing art.不管如何解释，工作与生活的平衡总是欧洲人的主要谈资，同时也是智囊团和政策制定者研究和考虑的主题。

在美国，人们使用这个说法时总是带着几分针对那些吃蛋奶火腿馅饼的悠闲人士才会表现出来的冷嘲热讽的态度。

但是，它可能还是会流行起来的。

时任《纽约时报》执行主编的比尔・凯勒曾鼓励员工们要给生活增加一些色彩，多陪陪家人或去欣赏艺术。

2．P. L. Travers, the author of the Mary Poppins books, put it best when she wrote, “You do not chop off a section of your imaginative substance and make a book specifically for children, for— if you are honest—you have, in fact, no idea where childhood ends and maturity begins. It is all endless and all one.” There is plenty for children and adults to enjoy in Rowling’s books, starting with their language. Her prose may be unadorned, but her way with naming people and things reveals a quirky and original talent.《欢乐满人间》的作者帕梅拉·林登·特拉弗斯概括得精辟之极。

考研复试英语自我介绍口语考研复试英语自我介绍口语「篇一」在自我介绍完了老师就会开始问你问题这里列出一些常见的问题，可以认真准备。

注意在准备的过程中，要结合自己的经历和见解来准备答案，让自己回答的问题和整个的自我介绍融为一个整体。

要不然很容易被考官抓住把柄，问个没完，很容易因紧张而露出马脚。

在每一年的面试中都会有很多相同的问题，这些问题看起来很平常，却有很多陷阱，一不小心就会被考官抓主小辫子了。

回答这些常见的看起来很平常的问题，是很有艺术的。

基本上每个院校每个专业的口试中都会涉及这一方面。

考官其实是要借此了解你的口头表达能力以及你的报名表之外的一些信息。

自我介绍时间以2-3分钟为宜。

思路要清楚，要突出重点，口语尽量流利(不要太流利了，有背诵之嫌)。

1) 考官要求你作自我介绍时，不要用let me introduce myself briefly / please allow me to introduce myself to you等句子，重复、啰嗦。

开头可以只用一句话引入：Dear professors, I feel so glad to meet all of you here.然后就可以进入主题，介绍姓名、年龄等等。

2) 自我介绍的主体内容① 姓名。

介绍自己姓名时，发音一定要准(南方考生要多加注意)。

② 年龄。

年龄可以跟在姓名后带过(I am XXX, 25 years old)。

③ 原来的院校、专业。

注意：一定要把原来学校的英文名称、专业的英文名称弄清楚(尤其是跨校、跨专业的学生)。

所属的公司、职位。

注意：在职考生则应将自己公司、自己职位/职称的英文名称弄明白。

④ 性格、能力。

可以着重强调你的个性对你报考的专业有何积极的作用。

如果报考的是学术性的专业，可以说自己细心(carefully，detail-oriented)、条理分明(logical)、踏实(steady)等;如果是研究性、应用性更强一点的专业，可以说自己负责(responsible)、可靠(dependable)、有效率(efficient)等。
