Exercise 34Only an effective collaboration between filmmakers andart historians can create films that will enhance viewers' perceptions of art. Filmmakers need to resist the impulse to move the camera quickly from detail to detail for fear ofboring the viewer, to frame the image for the sake of drama alone, to add music for fear of silence. Filmmakers areaware that an art object demands concentration and, at the same time, are concerned that it may not be compelling enough―and so they hope to provide relief by interposing "real" scenes that bear only a tangential relationship to the subject. But a work of art needs to be explored on its own terms. On the other hand, art historians need to trust thatone can indicate and analyze, not solely with words, but alsoby directing the viewer's gaze. The specialized written language of art history needs to be relinquished or at least tempered for the screen. (158 words)1.The passage suggests that a filmmaker desiring toenhance viewers‘ perceptions of art should do which ofthe following?(A) Rely on the precise language of art history when developing scripts for films on art.(B) Rely on dramatic narrative and music to set afilm's tone and style.(C) Recognize that a work of art by itself can becompelling enough to hold a viewer's attention(D) Depend more strongly on narration instead ofcamera movements to guide the viewer's gaze.(E) Emphasize the social and the historical contextswithin which works of art have been created.2.According to the passage, art historians desiring towork with filmmakers to enhance the public'sappreciation of art need to acknowledge which of the following?(A) The art historian's role in the creation of a film onart is likely to be a relatively minor one.(B) Film provides an ideal opportunity to acquaintviewers with a wide range of issues that relateincidentally to a work of art.(C) An in-depth analysis of a work of art is not an appropriate topic for a film on art.(D) Although silence may be an appropriate back-ground when viewing a work of art in amuseum, it is inappropriate in a film.(E) Film can use nonverbal means to achieve some ofthe same results that a spoken or written discoursecan achieve.阅读1:Q1:文章的意思就是说你的摄像机运动和音乐要少一点,not compelling说的就是这些东西要not impule,要用art本身的力量和观众的gaze来说明问题,所以正确答案C;Q2:文中说art historians need to trust that one can indicate and analyze, not solely with words, but also by directing the viewer's gaze. 所以正确答案E;As people age, their cells become less efficient and less ableto replace damaged components. At the same time their tissuesstiffen. For example, the lungs and the heart muscle expand lesssuccessfully, the blood vessels become increasingly rigid, andthe ligaments and tendons tighten.Few investigators would attribute such diverse effects to asingle cause. Nevertheless, researchers have discovered that aprocess long known to discolor and toughen foods may alsocontribute to age- related impairment of both cells and tissues.That process is nonenzymatic glycosylation, whereby glucosebecomes attached to proteins without the aid of enzymes. Whenenzymes attach glucose to proteins (enzymatic glycosylation),they do so at a specific site on a specific protein molecule for aspecific purpose. In contrast, the nonenzymatic process addsglucose haphazardly to any of several sites along any availablepeptide chain within a protein molecule.This nonenzymatic glycosylation of certain proteins hasbeen understood by food chemists for decades, although fewbiologists recognized until recently that the same steps couldtake place in the body. Nonenzymatic glycosylation beginswhen an aldehyde group (CHO) of glucose and an amino group(NH2) of a protein are attracted to each other. The moleculescombine, forming what is called a Schiff base within the protein.This combination is unstable and quickly rearranges itself into astabler, but still reversible, substance known as an Amadoriproduct.If a given protein persists in the body for months or years,some of its Amadori products slowly dehydrate and rearrangethemselves yet again, into new glucose-derived structures.These can combine with various kinds of molecules to form irreversible structures named advanced glycosylation end products (AGE's). Most AGE's are yellowish brown and fluorescent and have specific spectrographic properties. More important for the body, many are also able to cross-link adjacent proteins, particularly ones that give structure to tissues and organs. Although no one has yet satisfactorily described the origin of all such bridges between proteins, many investigators agree that extensive cross-linking of proteins probably contributes to the stiffening and loss of elasticity characteristic of aging tissues.In an attempt to link this process with the development of cataracts (the browning and clouding of the lens of the eye as people age), researchers studied the effect of glucose on solutions of purified crystallin, the major protein in the lens of the eye. Glucose-free solutions remained clear, but solutions with glucose caused the proteins to form clusters, suggesting that the molecules had become cross-linked. The clusters diffracted light, making the solution opaque. The researchers also discovered that the pigmented cross-links in human cataracts have the brownish color and fluorescence characteristic of AGE's. These data suggest that nonenzymatic glycosylation of lens crystallins maycontribute to cataract formation. (454 words)For the following question, consider each of thechoices separately and select all that apply3. According to the passage, which of the followingis NOT characteristic of enzymatic glycosylation of proteins?A Proteins affected by the process are made unstable.B Glucose attachment impairs and stiffens tissues.C Glucose is attached to proteins for specific purposes.4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true of Amadori products in proteins?(A) They are more plentiful in a dehydratedenvironment.(B) They are created through enzymatic glycosylation.(C) They are composed entirely of glucose molecules.(D) They are derived from Schiff bases.(E) They are derived from AGE's5. Which of the following best describes the function of the third paragraph of the passage?(A) It offers evidence that contradicts the findings described in the first two paragraphs.(B) It presents a specific example of the process discussed in the first two paragraphs.(C) It explains a problem that the researchers mentioned in the second paragraph have yet to solve.(D) It evaluates the research discoveries describedin the previous paragraph.(E) It begins a detailed description of the process introduced in the previous two paragraphs.6. The passage suggests that which of the following would be LEAST important in determiningwhether nonenzymatic glycosylation is likely to have taken place in the proteins of a particular tissue?(A) The likelihood that the tissue has beenexposed to free glucose(B) The color and spectrographic properties of structures within the tissue.(C) The amount of time that the proteins in the tissue have persisted in the body(D) The number of amino groups within the proteins in the tissue(E) The degree of elasticity that the tissue exhibits参考翻译:Q3. 定位在:When enzymes attach glucose to proteins (enzymatic glycosylation), they do soat a specific site on a specific protein molecule for a specific purpose;对应C,其他两个选项文章没提,答案AB;Q4. The molecules combine, forming what is called a Schiff base within the protein.This combination is unstable and quickly rearranges itself into a stabler, but still reversible, substance known as an Amadori product. 所以答案D;Q5. 详细叙述了Nonenzymatic glycosylation的过程,答案E;Q6. Nonenzymatic glycosylation begins when an aldehyde group (CHO) of glucose and an amino group (NH2) of a protein are attracted to each other 只是提了,但是没有说数量,所以是D;A中the tissue has been exposed to free glucose实际上就是glycosylation,不能说没有关系;7. It takes a particular talent to be a successful businessmanager. Business courses can help people to solvemanagement problems, but such courses can do soonly for those people with managerial talent. Suchpeople should take business courses to acquire ideasthat they can subsequently use to good advantage ifmanagement problems happen to arise.If the statements above are true, which of the followingmust also be true on the basis of them?(A) People who are helped by business courses insolving management problems also havemanagerial talent.(B) People who are already skilled at solvingmanagement problems are unlikely to benefitfrom business courses.(C) Most ideas that are used successfully in solvingmanagement problems are those acquired inbusiness courses.(D) People who lack managerial talent are morelikely to take business courses than are peoplewho have managerial talent.(E) Those people who have never taken businesscourses are unable to solve managementproblems when such problems arise.阅读2:只有具有天赋,才能上课;天赋是上课的前提假设(必要条件),上课是天赋的充分条件;文章结论是:那些都应该来上课;若想让上课成立,那么其前提假设必须成立,即那些上课人必须要有天赋,答案A;The age at which young children begin to make moraldiscriminations about harmful actions committed againstthemselves or others has been the focus of recent research intothe moral development of children. Until recently, childpsychologists supported pioneer developmentalist Jean Piaget inhis hypothesis that because of their immaturity, children underage seven do not take into account the intentions of a personcommitting accidental or deliberate harm, but rather simplyassign punishment for transgressions on the basis of themagnitude of the negative consequences caused.However, in recent research, Keasey found that six- year-oldchildren not only distinguish between accidental and intentionalharm, but also judge intentional harm as naughtier, regardless ofthe amount of damage produced. Both of these findings seem toindicate that children, at an earlier age than Piaget claimed,advance into the second stage of moral development, moralautonomy, in which they accept social rules but view them asmore arbitrary than do children in the first stage. (163 words)8.According to the passage, Piaget and Keasey would not have agreed on which of the following points?(A) The kinds of excuses children give for harmfulacts they commit(B) The age at which children begin to discriminate between intentional and unintentional harm(C) The intentions children have in perpetrating harm(D) The circumstances under which children punish harmful acts(E) The justifications children recognize for mitigating punishment for harmful acts9.According to the passage, Keasey's findings support which of the following conclusions about six-year-old children?(A)They have the ability to make autonomous moral judgments.(B)They regard moral absolutism as a threat to theirmoral autonomy.(C)They do not understand the concept of public duty.(D)They accept moral judgment made by their peersmore easily than do older children.(E)They make arbitrary moral judgments.As of the late 1980's. neither theorists nor large-scale computer climate models could accurately predictwhether cloud systems would help or hurt a warming globe. Some studies suggested that a four percent increasein stratocumulus clouds over the ocean could compensate for a doubling in atmospheric carbon dioxide, preventinga potentially disastrous planetwide temperature increase. On the other hand, an increase in cirrus clouds could increase global warming.That clouds represented the weakest element in climate models was illustrated by a study of fourteen such models. Comparing climate forecasts for a world with double the current amount of carbon dioxide, researchers found that the models agreed quite well if clouds were not included. But when clouds were incorporated, a wide range of forecasts was produced.(125 words)10. Select the sentence that indicates one reason the fourteen models described in the passage failed toagree.阅读1:参考翻译:阅读2:参考翻译:B AQ8,由首句“The age at which young children begin to make moral discriminations about harmful actions committed against themselves or others has been the focus of recent research into the moral development of children.”+“children under age seven”+“six- year-old children”,不选年龄就不知道选什么了Q9,最后一句“advance into the second sta ge of moral development, moral autonomy”autonomy是选项Aautonomous的词性转换Q10 “But when clouds were incorporated, a wide range of forecasts was produced”,一个but与上句的agree quite well 相反,意思跃然纸上。
2012Text 1Come on –Everybody’s doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good-drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that peer pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the word.Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of example of the social cure in action: In South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool. In South Africa, an HIV-prevention initiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to promote safe sex among their peers.The idea seems promising,and Rosenberg is a perceptive observer. Her critique of the lameness of many pubic-health campaigns is spot-on: they fail to mobilize peer pressure for healthy habits, and they demonstrate a seriously flawed understanding of psychology.” Dare to be different, please don’t smoke!” pleads one billboard campaign aimed at reducing smoking among teenagers-teenagers, who desire nothing more than fitting in. Rosenberg argues convincingly that public-health advocates ought to take a page from advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure.But on the general effectiveness of the social cure, Rosenberg is less persuasive. Join the Club is filled with too much irrelevant detail and not enough exploration of the social and biological factors that make peer pressure so powerful. The most glaring flaw of the social cure as it’s presented here is that it doesn’t work very well for very long. Rage Agains t the Haze failed once state funding was cut. Evidence that the LoveLife program produces lasting changes is limited and mixed.There’s no doubt that our peer groups exert enormous influence on our behavior. An emerging body of research shows that positive health habits-as well as negative ones-spread through networks of friends via social communication. This is a subtle form of peer pressure: we unconsciously imitate the behavior we see every day.Far less certain, however, is how successfully experts and bureaucrats can select our peer groups and steer their activities in virtuous directions. It’s like the teacher who breaks up the troublemakers in the back row by pairing them with better-behaved classmates. The tactic never really works. And that’s th e problem with a social cure engineered from the outside: in the real world, as in school, we insist on choosing our own friends.文章出处:/time/magazine/article/0,9171,2061234,00.htmlherd mentality21.

2012年考研英语阅读理解及答案解析32012年考研英语阅读理解及答案解析3Specialization can be seen as a response to the problem of an increasing accumulation of scientific knowledge. By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units, one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research. But specialization was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication. Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.No clearcut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word‘amateur’ does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community, and, in particular, may not fully share its values. The growth of specialization in the nineteenth century, with its consequent requirement of a longer, more complex training, imp /doc/d2*******.html,/kcnet1480/ lied greater problems for amateur participation in science. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper. Thus, in the nineteenth century, local geological studies represented worthwhile research in their own right; but, in the twentieth century, localstudies have increasingly become acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate, and reflect on, the wider geological picture. Amateurs, on the other hand, have continued to pursue local studies in the old way. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century. As a logical consequence of this development, separate journals have now appeared aimed mainly towards either professional or amateur readership. A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.Although the process of professionalisation and specialization was already well under way in British geology during the nineteenth century, its full consequences were thus delayed until the twentieth century. In science generally, however, the nineteenth century must be reckoned /doc/d2*******.html,/kcnet1480/ as the crucial period for this change in the structure of science.51. The growth of specialization in the 19th century might be more clearly seen in sciences such as .[A] sociology and chemistry[B] physics and psychology[C] sociology and psychology[D] physics and chemistry52.

GRE阅读小笔记 Exercise 3The dark regions in the starry night sky are not pockets in the universe that are devoid of stars as had long been thought. Rather, they are dark because Line of interstellar dust that hides the stars behind it. 5 Although its visual effect is so pronounced, dust is only a minor constituent of the material, extremely low in density, that lies between the stars. The average density of interstellar material in the vicinity of our Sun is 1,000 to 10,000 times less than the best terrestrial 10 laboratory vacuum. It is only because of the enormous interstellar distances that so little material per unit of volume becomes so significant. Optical astronomy is most directly affected, for although interstellar gas is perfectly transparent, the dust is not. (125 words) =================================1. According to the passage, which of the following is adirect perceptual consequence of interstellar dust EXCEPT?□A Some stars are rendered invisible to observers on Earth.□B Many visible stars are made to seem brighter than they really are.□C The dust is conspicuously visible against a background of bright stars.2. It can be inferred from the passage that it is becausespace is so vast that(A) little of the interstellar material in it seems substantial(B) normal units of volume seem futile for measurements of density(C) stars can be far enough from Earth to be obscured even by very sparsely distributed matter(D) interstellar gases can, for all practical purposes, be regarded as transparent(E) optical astronomy would be of little use even if no interstellar dust existed=================================== In Hardy‘s novels, various impulses were sacrificed toeach other inevitably and often. Inevitably, because Hardy did not care in the way that novelists such as Line Flaubert or James cared, and therefore took paths of least 5 resistance. Thus, one impulse often surrendered to a fresher one and, unfortunately, instead of exacting a compromise, simply disappeared. A desire to throw over reality a light that never was might give way abruptly to the desire on the part of what we might consider a 10 novelist-scientist to record exactly and concretely the structure and texture of a flower. In this instance, the new impulse was at least an energetic one, and thus its indulgence did not result in a relaxed style. But on other occasions Hardy abandoned a perilous, risky, and highly 15 energizing impulse in favor of what was for him the fatally relaxing impulse to classify and schematize abstractly. When a relaxing impulse was indulged, the style—that sure index of an author‘s literary worth—was certain to become verbose. (167 words)===================================3. Which of the following words could best besubstituted for ―relaxedǁ (line 13) withoutsubstantially changing the author‘s meaning?(A) informal(B) confined(C) risky(D) wordy(E) metaphoric4. The passage supplies information to suggest that its authorwould be most likely to agree with which of the followingstatements about the novelists Flaubert and James?(A) They indulged more impulses in their novels than did Hardy in his novels.(B) They have elicited a greater degree of favorable response from most literary critics than has Hardy.(C) In the writing of their novels, they often took pains to effect a compromise among their various novelistic impulses.(D) Regarding novelistic construction, they cared more about the opinions of other novelists than about the opinions of ordinary readers.(E) They wrote novels in which the impulse toward realism and the impulse away from realism were evident in equal measure.5. Which of the following statements best describes theorganization of the passage (―Thus…abstractlyǁ)?(A) The author makes a disapproving observation and then presents two cases, one of which leads to a qualification of his disapproval and the other of which does not.(B) The author draws a conclusion from a previous statement, explains his conclusion in detail, and then gives a series of examples that have the effect of resolving an inconsistency.(C) The author concedes a point and then makes a counterargument, using an extended comparison and contrast that qualifies his original concession.(D) The author makes a judgment, points out an exception to his judgment, and then contradicts his original assertion.(E) The author summarizes and explains an argument and then advances a brief history of opposing arguments.阅读1.主要阐述了一个观点,就是说“黑暗的夜空中没有明星这一观点是被反对的”,接下来进行了解释。
