Many people invest in the stock market hoping to find the next Microsoft and Dell. However, I know 21 personal exzperience how difficult this really is. For more tha a year, I was 22 hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars a day investing the market. It seemed so easy.

Ⅲ. Reading Comprehension (20 points)

Directions: Read the following passage, decide on the best one of the choices marked A, B, C and D for each question or unfinished statement and then mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the squre bracket on ANSWER SHEET.

Passage one

The Commerical Revolution was not confined, of course, to the growth of trade and banking. Included in it also were fundamental changes in methods of production. The system of manufacture developed by the craft guilds in the later Middle Ages was rapidly becoming defunct. The guilds themselves, dominated by the master craf\smen, had grown selfish and exclusive. Memberhip in them was commonly resticted to a few privileged families. Besides, they were so completely choked by tradition that they were unable to make adjustments to changing conditions. Moreover, new industries had sprung up entirely outside the guild systme. Characteristic examples were mining and smelting and the woolen industry. The rapid development of these enterprises was stimulated bny technical advances, such as the invent5ion of the spinning wheel and the discovery of a wne metod of making brass, wich asved about half of the fuel previously used. In the mining and smelting industries a form of organization was adopted similar to that which has prevailed ever since.

But the most typical form of indutrial production in the Commerical Revolution was the domestic system, developed first of all in the woolen industry. The demestic system derives its name from the fact that the work was done in the homes of industrial artisans instead of in the shop of a master craftsman. Since the various jobs in the manufacture of a product were given out on contract, the system is also known as the putting out system. Notwithstanding the petty scale of production, the organization was basically capitalistic. The raw material was purchased by an entrepreneur and assigned to individual worker, each of whom would complete his allotted task

for a stipulated payment. In the case of the woolen industry the yam would be given out first of all to the spinners, then to the weavrs, fullers, and dyer in succession. When the cloth was finally finished, it would be taken by the clothier and sold in the open market for the highest price it would bring.

51. According to the ariticle, what changes did the Commerical Revolution bring about?

A. Methods of production.

B. Appearance of craft guilds

C. Increased trade volume

D. Growth of trade, banking and methods of production

52. The word “defunct” in the first paragraph most probably means______.

A. popular

B. obsolete

C. potential

D. extensive

53. According to the article, in which area was it more energy-effective?

A. Smelting industry

B. Mining industry

C. Banking

D. Weaving

54. The author implies that ______ .

A. The guild system was more efficient

B. The domestic system was capitalistic

C. The technical advance stimulated the guild system

D. The domestic system was not as efficient as the guild system.

55. According to the article, which one of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Technical advances stimulated the development of enterprises

B. In the woolen industry, weavers would pass on their products to spinners.

C. The domestic system is also known as the putting out system

D. The word “ clothier” is synonymous ot “entrepreneur” in this context.

Passage Two

And researchs say that like those literary romantics Romeo and Juliet, they may be blind to the consequences of their quests for an idealized mate who serves their every physical and emotional need. Nearly 19 in 20 never-married respondents to a national survey agree that “when you marry you want spouse to be your soul mate, first and foremost,” according to the State of our Unions: 2001 study released Wednesday bu Rutgers University.

David Popenoe, a Rutgers sociologist and one of the study’s authors, said that view might spell doom for marriages.“ It really provides a very unrealistic view of what marriage really is, “ Popenoe said. “The standard becomes so high, it’s not easy to bail out if you didn’t find a sould mate.”

The survey points to a fundamental dilemma in which younger people want more from the institution of marriage while they seemingly are unwilling to make the necessary commitments.

The survey also suggests that some respondents expect too much from a spouse, including the kind of emotional support rendered by samesex friends. The authors of the study suggest that the generation that was polled may more quickly leave a marriage because of infidelity than past generations.

Popenoe said the poll, conducted by the Gallup Organization, is the first of its kind to concentrate on people in their 20s. A total of 1,003 married and single young adults nationwide were interviewed by telephone between January and March. The margin of error was plus or minus four percentage points.

Respondents said they eventually want to get married, realize it’s a lot of work and think there are too many divorces. They believe there is one right person for them out there somewhere and think their own marriages won’t end in divorce.

Since the poll is the first of its kind, researchers say it is impossible to say if expectations about marriage are changing or static.

But scholars say the search for sould mates has increased over the last generation ---- and the last century ---- as mariage has become an institution centering on romance rather than utility. “ One hundred years ago, people married for financial reasons, for tying families together, they married for political reasons,” Said John DeLamater, a sociologist at the University of Wisconsin. “ And most people had children.”

Those conditions are no longer the case for young adults like David Asher, a 24-year waiter in a Trenton café who has been in a relationship for about two years. He wants to wait to make sure he’s ready to change vows “ I know a lot of it has to do with financial reasons,” he said. “ Maybe

if you’re going to have children, marriage is the best bet.” But the main reason for matrimony: “ If you’re in love with someone, it’s sort of like promising to them you are in love.”

That’s all well and good, said Heather Helms-Erikson, an assistant professor of human development and family studies at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, but passion partly in endorpin- caused physiological phenomenon—has been known to diminish in time.

56. What’s the best title of this passage?

A. Marriage Scholars Worry Search for “Soul Mates” is Uneralistic

B. People Should Seek for Romantic Love like Romeo and Juliet

C. Marriage Should Hppen between Soul Mates

D. Search for “Soul Mates” Should be Superseded by Reality.

57. The new study in this passage shows that______.

A. many American are very practical when they search for a spouse

B. American 2-somethings have a largely romantic view of marriage

C. Romantic view of marriage might lead marriage to a happy ending

D. Americans are fond of marriage life so they will not care cohabitation

58. It can be inferred that the author would most likely agree with which of the following statements regarding marriage?

A. It usually involves idealized mates who can serve their every physical and emotional need.

B. It may not be realized unles the couple consider carefully about therir responsibility and commitment.

C. It becomes more unrealistic nowadays than in the past because most people center on romance instead of utility.

D. It results from many reasons such as financial reasons, family reunion, an political reasons.

59. Which of the following is not one of the differences between this generation and the past generations as far as marriage is concerned?

A. The young people nowadays require more from marriage but they seem not to be willing to

make necessary commitments.

B. This generation expects too much from their spouse and they can not keep to be faithful to their husbands or wives.

C. The young people at present pay more attention to look for soul mates than the past generations when they search ofr partners.

D. Now some young people usually marry for the same reasons as the older generations such as financial ones and children.

60. Which of the following sentences will Heather Hems-Erikson use to illustrate her own argument?

A. Ten years into a marriage, you will still have great passion and you notice sometone else and say, “Only my wife or husband is my soul mate.”

B. “ The romantic part of marriage -= while it can be there – should not be substituted by other things such as shared values and social status.”

C. “The couple should focus on the ‘three Cs’ – communication, copnflict resolution and commitment to make marriage the first priority.”

D. “Ten years into a marriage, you don’t have that any more and you notice someone else and think, ’ maybe this person is my soul mate.”

Passage Three

Visiting a National Park can be realxing, inspiring and rejuvenating, but it can also be disturbing. As you drive into Rocky Mountain National Park, and you will see starving el, damaged meadows and ying forests. Our parks are growing old because we have mistakenly protected them from national Parks, the National Park Service must change its management priorities to prevent over population of animals and to restore natural process in the forest in orer to prevent their stagnation and “death” by old age. We must act soon: our parkes are dying of old

age because we have altered the forces in nature that keep them young and strong.

By tracing the history of our National Parks, we can understand the problem and see why we need active management. In the early part of the 20th century, settlers exploited wildlife heavily, resulting in near-extinction of many species. Therefore, several National Parks were established

by Congress primarily to save endangered animals. However, stricter wildlife protection laws and improved wildlife management technique resulted in greater populations of animals overcrowding in areas of high concentration, such as the yellowstone elk herds. Complicating the problem, the National Park

Service in the early part of the 20th century adopted a policy of aggressive predator elimation, thus reducing natural wildlife population control. Subsequently, elk and deer population exploded in many National Parks, resulting in severe damage to native vegetation. Vigorous forest fire and insect suppression in the National Parks throughout the 20th century further altered the natural environment by allowing forests to over-mature, without natural thinning processes. Park managers thought that they were protecting the land, but actually they were removing important controls from the forest ecosystem.

Clearly, we must immediately if we want to pass down to our children and grandchildren the green legacy of our National Parks; we must step in and restore the natural processes wich we have altered through our well-intentioned, but misguided, policies in the past.

61. According to the aritcle, strict wildlife protection laws and improved wildlife management techinques_____.

A. caused the near extinction of the endangered animals.

B. intervened the natural process.

C. made the visit of National Parks relaxing, and inspiring and rejuvenating.

D. saved the elks in the Rocky Mountain Park form starvation.

62. According to the author, there would not be starving elks, damaged meadows or dying forests in Natioanl Parks if ______.

A. the government introduced stricter wildlife laws.

B. the National Park Service employed more wildlife management technique.

C. the natural processes were restored

D. if we continued to improve our natural environment.

63. According to the ariticle, the population explosion of elk and deer was caused also by _____.

A. the adoption of a policy of aggressive predator elimination.

B. the increased number of National Parks.

C. the deceasing number of visitors to National Parks.

D. the heavy exploitation of endangered animals in the 20 century.

64. From the article, we can deduce that the author ______.

A. is in support of the resent policies.

B. Appreciates the present management techniques

C. Thinks that the forces in nature should be altered

D. Is strongly in favor of the natural processes.

65. Which one of ther following statements is NOT true according to the article?

A. Park managers interrupted the forest ecosystems through out the 20th century.

B. Flesh-eating animals should not be elimated.

C. Insect suppression may cause the forests to over-mature.

D. Severe damage to native vegetation in the forest is caused by fire.

Passage Four

At the fall 2001 Social Science History Association convention in Chicago, the Crime and Justice network sponsored a forum on the history of gun ownership, gun use, and gun violence in the United States. Our prupose was to consider ow social science historians might contribute tro the public debate over gun control and gun rights. To date, we have had little impact on that debagte. It has been dominated by mainstream social scientists and historians, especially cholars such as Gary Klck, John Lott, and Michael Bellesiles, whose work, despite prodound flaws, is politically congenial to either opponents or proponents of gun control. Kleck and Mark Gertz, for instance, argue on the basis of their widely cited survey that gun owners prevent numerous crimes each year in the United States by using firearms to defend themselves and their property. It their

survey respondents are to be believed, American gun owners shot 100,000 criminals in 1994 in self-defense- a preposterous number. Lott claims on the basis of his statistical analysis of recent crime rates that laws allowing private individuals to carry concealed firearms deter murders, rapes, and robberies, because criminals are afraind to attack potentially rmed victims. However, he biases his results by confining his analysis to the year between 1977 and 1992,when violent crime rates had peaked and varied little from year to year. He reports only regression models that support his thesis and neglects to mention that eacho of those models find a positive relationship between violent crime and real income, and an inverse relationsip between violent crime and unemployment.

Contray to Klect and Lott, Bellesiles insists that guns and American’s “gun culture’ are responsible for American’s high rates of murder. In Bellesiles’s opinion, relatively few Americans owned guns before the 1850s or know how to use, maintain, or repair them. As a result, he says, guns contributed little to the homicide rate, expecially among white, which was low everywhere, even in the South and on the frontier, where historians once assume guns and murder went hand in hand. According to Bellesiles, these patterns changed dramatically after the Mexican War and especially after the Civil War, when gun ownership became widespread and cultural changes encouraged the use of handguns to command respect and resolve personal and political disputes. The result was an unprecedented wave of gun-related homicides that never truly abated. To this day, the United States has the highest homicide rate of any industrial democracy. Bellesiles’s low estimates of gun ownership in early America conflict, however, with thouse of every istorian who has previously studied the subject and have thus far proven irreproducible.

Every homicide statistic he presents is either misleading or wrong. Given the influene of Kjeck, Lott, Beliesiles, and other partisan scholars on the debate over gun control and gun rights, we felt a need to pull together what social science historians have learned to date about the hisrtory of gun ownership and gun violence in America, and to consider what research methods and projects might increase our knowledge in the near future.

66. Which of the following statement is true about the public debate over gun control?

A. It has little influence on the forum sponsored by the Crime and Justice network.

B. Neither supporters or opponents of gun control cite the works of scholars.

C. The works of mainstream social scientists have great impact on it.

D. Many social science historians have so far failed to take part in it.

67. The author mentions Kleck, Lott, and Bellesiles mainly to ______.

A. illustrate the influence they have on the issue of gun control

B. refute the claim that private ownership of firearms will deter violent crimes.

C. Support thethesis that gun ownership leads to more violence

D. Demonstrate why research methods should be improved in the study of the gun ownership history

68. The author’s main criticism of John Lott is that he ______.

A. advocates private ownership of firearms

B. is not objective in his analysis

C. has analyzed a wrong period

D. has cited dubious statistics

69. With which of the following will Bellesiles most probably agree?

A. Gun control should be tightened

B. Guns have little to do with murder

C. “Gun culture” was the result of high homicide rates in America

D. The statistics that earlier istorians produced of gun ownership is reliable

70. The passage is primarily concerned with_____.

A. resolving a public dispute over gun control

B. descvribing the effects of earlier studies on gun control

C. analyzing the flaws in the previous theories about gun control

D. summarizing the recent development in the studies of gun control

Part B(20 points)

Direction: Translate the following English passage into Chinese on youy ANSWER SHEET The Renaissance embraced, first of all, an impressive record of new acievements in art, literature, cience, philosophy, education and religion. Although the foundation of many of these was classical, they soon expanded beyond the measure of Greek and Roman influence. Indeed, many of the achievements in painting, science, politics and religion bore little relation to the classical heritage. Secondly, the Renaissance incorporated a number of dominant ideals and attitudes that gave it the impres of a unique society. Notable among these in general were optimism, and individualismp; but the most significant of them all was humanism. In its broadest meaning humanism may be defined as emphasis on the human values. It was a term derived rom Cicero, who used it in the sense of devotion to the liberal arts, or the subjects most compatible with the dignity of man.

2013年 同济大学 考博英语翻译原文

同济大学2013年考博英语翻译 I am far from thinking, that all those, who have depreciated our species, have been enemies to virtue, and have exposed the frailties of their fellow creatures with any bad intention. On the contrary, I am sensible that a delicate sense of morals, especially when attended with a splenetic temper, is apt to give a man a disgust of the world, and to make him consider the common course of human affairs with too much indignation. I must, however, be of opinion, that the sentiments of those,who are inclined to think favourably of mankind, are more advantageous to virtue, than the contrary principles, which give us a mean opinion of our nature. When a man is prepossessed with a high notion of his rank and character in the creation, he will naturally endeavour to act up to it, and will scorn to do a base or vicious action, which might sink him below that figure which he makes in his own imagination. Accordingly we find, that all our polite and fashionable moralists insist upon this topic, and endeavour to represent vice as unworthy of man, as well as odious in itself. We find few disputes, that are not founded on some ambiguity in the expression; and I am persuaded, that the present dispute, concerning the dignity or meanness of human nature, is not more exempt from it than any other. It may, therefore, be worth while to consider, what is real, and what is only verbal, in this controversy.

2014年同济大学考博面试过程与技巧

2014年同济大学考博面试过程与技巧 2014考博面试经验及技巧 一些同学在初试复试前见过导师,或者已经很熟悉他了,于是以下的文字,送给那些不熟悉相关情况,而显得更无助的人。 大部分的同学,在初试和复试之间的时间,或者面试中,才会第一次见到导师,眼见着数个渊博或者半渊博的教授们一排坐在面前,就象面前立着一排大书柜,而且他们还会随便从这个书柜上的任意一本书上的任意一页来问你一个任意的问题。 有一点紧张,对不对? 没关系,我会尽力告诉一点点我所知道的,或许能帮助你些什么。 1:面试之前的时间。 在之前的1到2个星期,最好在下了复试线之后,就立刻和导师电话联系。 电话号码在各个院系办公室都可以查到。 先说清楚你的名字,告诉他你已经通过分数线了,现在很多情况都不是很明白,问了相关复试程序问题以后,就谈谈你对该专业的爱好程度,与关注程度,你看了些什么书,现在为了复试还该多看些什么等等。联系我们扣扣:四九三三七一六二六。电话:四零零六六八六九七八如果他语气很友善与平和,那么最后询问,是否能上门拜访,希望仔细了解相关情况,他答应了是最好的。 上门拜访的时候,适当的送一些小的礼品,导师给你讲课也很辛苦,何况是未来的导师,一点小小的礼品是应该的,不要很贵重的东西(如果你和他都没有不良企图的话),一些水果等就好了。 所做的这一切,都是为了加深导师对你的了解与印象。 在这个过程中,如果你在学术上,专业上很牛,那你就多谈专业方面的事情,如果,你不是特别牛,你最好象他表示你对该专业极大的热情与希望今后跟随于他的愿望,毕竟面试的人很多,他往往能印象深刻的不多,这样能非常深刻的加重他对你的了解。 2:注意 服装要简单朴素干净,要象个实在的学生样子。 一定要表现的稳重大方,千万要谨慎,对自己不了解的事情,不要胡夸乱吹,也不要随便贬低谁,或者负面的评价谁。千万不要夸夸其谈。 我父亲曾有一个很年轻的学生,刚刚当副教授,那一年第一次招研究生,该男生面试前上门拜访他,第一句话就是:**老师啊,你们系那些老教授怎么不招生,你怎么年轻却招啊。或许他不过想表示对该老师年轻有为的赞扬,可是那个老师认为这是对他的不削,认为他没有带研究生的能力。刚好那个男生有是专科,而且排名中间,于是复试就没通过,而收了一个笔试分比他低的人。 还有一个真实的例子,导师问他:你最近看了什么书啊。他说我看了***。 导师再问:相关内容的书你还看过谁写的呢? 我看了****,不过那本太差劲了,比不上我看的前一本,于是数落一通,以表示他对学术问题如何如何深刻的评价。谁知道,那本书正是该教授去世了的导师写的,而且是他审的稿。 于是~~~~~。总之就是第一印象不好了。 一定要作到谦虚,再谦虚,多谈对导师学术声明的仰慕与崇拜。之前最好多找些导师写的文章来看,可以去中国期刊网上搜索,一旦你对他的学术

同济大学考博英语模拟真题及其解析

同济大学考博英语模拟真题及其解析 Technically,any substance other than food that alters our bodily or mental functioning is a drug.Many people mistakenly believe the term drug refers only to some sort of medicine or an illegal chemical taken by drug addicts.They don't realize that familiar substances such as alcohol and tobacco are also drugs.This is why the more neutral term substance is now used by many physicians and Geng duo yuan xiao wan zheng kao bo ying yu zhen ti ji qi jie xi qing lian xi quan guo mian fei zi xun dian hua:si ling ling liu liu ba liu jiu qi ba,huo jia zi xun qq:qi qi er liu qi ba wu san qi psychologists. The phrase substance abuse is often used instead of drug abuse to make clear that substances such as alcohol and tobacco can be just as harmfully misused as heroin and cocaine. We live in a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances(drugs)is pervasive:an aspirin to quiet a headache,some wine to be sociable,coffee to get going in the morning,a cigarette for the nerves.When do these socially acceptable and apparently constructive uses of a substance become misuses?First of all,most substances taken in excess will produce negative effects such as poisoning or intense perceptual distortions.Repeated use of a substance can also lead to physical addiction or substance dependence. Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance,with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect,and then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the substance is discontinued.

学位英语考试练习题(四)

学位英语考试练习题(四) Part I Reading Comprehension A teddy bear is delivered to No. 10 Downing Street after the birth of Prime Minister Tony Blair and wife Cherie’s fourth child. Britain’s baby alert is over-Cherie Blair gave birth to a boy. Mrs. Blair, 45, wife of Prime Minister Tony Blair, had the baby this morning. The baby will be named Leo after the prime minister’s father, his office announced, the baby weighed in at 6 pounds, 12 ounces. Mother, father and the baby boy returned to 10 Downing Street-the prime minister’s official residence-after the birth, a spokesman said. The baby is the couples’ fourth child. “Cherie and the baby are absolutely fine,” Blair said today outside his Downing Street residence. “He is a gorgeous little boy. They are resting right now.” Blair, dressed casually in an open shirt, appeared emotional about the birth, the first of his four children whose birth he has been at from beginning to end. “this is the first time I’ve seen the whole thing though,” he said. “it was quite a struggl e, really, for Cherie.” The switchboard was reportedly lit up with calls from world leaders wishing them well, including a call from Hillary Colliery Clinton. Former prime minister John Major was the first public figure to get through on the phone at 7 a.m. on Saturday. The baby came after a 12-year gap from the Blairs other three children-Euan, 16, Nicky, 14, and Kathryn. He is the first to be born to a serving Buitish prime minister in over 150 years. News of the pregnancy took Cherie and the rest of the nation by surprise when it was announced last year. After decades of much older occupants at No.10 Downing Street, the Blairs’ arrival at the prime minister’s residence with their children and assorted toys in tow was hailed as a breath of fresh air.
