2006~2012重庆大学研究生期末考试历年试题和答案总结2006级硕士研究生(B类)英语期末考试试题(适用于30-53班)时间: 150分钟2007.7.7Part I: Reading Comprehension 40%Directions: Read the following passages carefully and then selectthe best answer from the four choices given to answer the questions or to complete the statements that follow each passage. Write your answer on your Answer Sheet.Passage OneMost conceptions of the process of motivation begin with the assumption that behavior is, at least in part, directed towards the attainment of goals or towards the satisfaction of needs or motives. Accordingly, it is appropriate to begin our consideration of motivation in the work place by examining the motives for working. Simon points out that an organization should be able to secure the participation of a person by offering him inducements(引诱)which contribute in some way to at leastone of his goals. The kinds of inducements offered by anorganization are varied, and if they are effective in maintaining participation they must necessarily be based on the needs of the individuals.Maslow examines in detail what these needs are. He points out not only that there are many needs ranging from basic physiological drives such as hunger to a more abstract desire for self-realization, but also that they are arranged in a hierarchy(等级制度)whereby the lower-order needs must to a large degree be satisfied before the higher-order ones come into play.One of the most obvious ways in which work organizations attract and retain members is through the realization that economic factors are not the only inducement for working as indicated by Morse and Weiss. In line with the social respect and self-realization needs discussed by Maslow, factors such as associations with others, self-respect gained through the work, and a high interest value of the work can serve effectively to induce people to work.1. According to Maslow, a work organization is able to motivate people to work by_______.A. satisfying their physiological needsB. satisfying their self-realization needsC. satisfying hierarchy of their higher-order needD. first satisfying their lower-order needs2. Lower-order needs concern a person's _______.A. essential physical needs C. self-realizationB. self-respect D. working relationships with others 3. Which of the following is NOT a higher need that attracts people to work? A.Association with others. C. Interest value of the work. B. Possibility of earning a good salary . D. Cultivation of self-respect.14. Which of the following statements may be supported by Morse and Weiss? A. Physiological needs are the most basic.B. There is a hierarchy of needs that must be met.C. Economic factors are the greatest inducement.D. Personal esteem and the gaining of power is the most important factor. 5. Simon points out that ________.A. the needs of individuals range from hunger to self-realizationB. effective inducements must be based on what individuals wantC. economic factors are not the only inducement for workingD. inducements must not be too variedPassage TwoAccording to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group. In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistentevidence that there is any category of ―natural leaders‖. It seemsthat there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of thatparticular group.Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to ―get things done‖. Expressive leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective well beings of a social groups members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give others and may discipline group members who inhibit(阻碍) attainment of the groups goals. Expressive leaders cultivate a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in promoting group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.6. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. The problems faced by leaders.B. How leadership differs in small and large groups.2C. How social groups determine who will lead them.D. The role of leaders in social groups.7. The passage mentions all of the following ways by which people can becomeleaders EXCEPT __________ .A. recruitmentB. formal election processC. specific leadership trainingD. traditional cultural patterns8. Which of the following statements about leadership can beinferred from paragraph2?A. person who is an effective leader of a particular group may not be an effectiveleader in another group.B. Few people succeed in sharing a leadership role with another person.C. A person can best learn how to be an effective leader by studying research onleadership.D. Most people desire to be leaders but can produce little evidence of theirqualifications.. In mentioning ―natural leaders‖ in line 7, the author is making the point that _____ . 9A. few people qualify as ―natural leaders‖B. there is no proof that ―natural leaders‖ existC. ―natural leaders‖ are easily accepted by the members of a groupD. ―natural leaders‖ share a similar s et of characteristics10. The passage indicates that instrumental leaders generally focus on __________ .A. ensuring harmonious relationshipsB. sharing responsibility with group membersC. identifying new leadersD. achieving a goalPassage ThreeMany objects in daily use have clearly been influenced by science, but their form and function, their dimensions and appearances, were determined by technologists, artisans, designers, inventors, and engineers ? using nonscientific modes of thought.Many features and qualities of the objects that a technologistthinks about cannot be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions; they are dealt with in the mind by a visual, nonverbal process. In the development of Western technology, it has been nonverbal thinking, byand large, that has fixed the outlines and filled in the details of our material surroundings. Pyramids, cathedrals, and rockets exist not because of geometry or thermodynamics, but because they were first a picture in the minds of those who built them.The creative shaping process of a technologist‘s mind can be seenin nearly every artifact that exists. For example, in designing a diesel engine, a technologist might impress individual ways of nonverbalthinking on the machine by continually using an intuitive sense of rightness and fitness. What would be the shape of the combustion chamber? Where should the valves be placed? Should it have a long or short piston?3Such questions have a range of answers that are supplied by experience, by physical requirements, by limitations of available space, and by a sense of form. Some decisions such as wall thickness and pin diameter, may depend on scientific calculations, but the nonscientific component of design remains primary.Design courses, then, should be an essential element in engineering curricula. Nonverbal thinking, a central mechanism in engineering design, involves perceptions, which is indispensable for an artist. Because perceptive processes are not assumed to need ―hard thinking,‖nonverbal thought is sometimes seen as a primitive stage in the development of cognitive processes and is inferior to verbal or mathematical thought. But it is paradoxical that when the staff of the Historic American Engineering Recordwished to have drawings made of machines and isometric views of industrial processes for its historical record of American engineering, the only college students with the requisite abilities were not engineering students, but rather students attending architectural schools.If courses in design, which in a strongly analytical engineering curriculum provide the background required for practical problem-solving, are not provided, we can expect to encounter silly but costly errors occurring in advanced engineering systems. For example, early models of high-speed railroad cars loaded with sophisticated controls were unable to operate in a snowstorm because a fan sucked snow into the electrical system. Absurd random failures that plague automatic control systems are not merely trivial errors in mechanical design, they are a reflection of chaos caused by the neglect of non-verbal thinking.11. The main purpose of the author in writing this text is ________.A. to demonstrate the role of nonverbal thinking in the developmentoftechnologyB. to stress the importance of nonscientific thinking in engineering designC. to identify the two kinds of thinking that are used by technologistsD. to urge engineering institutes to attach importance to the education ofnon-verbal thinking12. Which of the following statements is in agreement with theauthor‘s opinion?A. When one designs an object he usually first has in mind what it should be like.B. Compared with verbal or mathematical thought, nonverbal thoughtis regardedas a primitive stage of cognitive process.C. Nonverbal thinking is in reality superior to verbal or mathematical thought.D. Nonverbal thinking is becoming an even more important componentin designcourses with the development of technology.13. The author describes the predicament faced by the History American EngineeringRecord as ―paradoxical‖ (Para. 3) most probably because ________.A. architectural schools offered better training for their studentsin engineeringdesignB. college students should be better qualified to make the drawingsin engineeringdesignC. the drawings needed were so complicated that only the students in4architectural schools had the capability of making them.D. engineering students were not trained to make the type of drawings needed torecord the development of their own discipline.14. The author uses the example of the early models of high-speed railroad carsprimarily to indicate that ________.A. a lack of attention to the nonscientific aspects in design results in poorconceptualization by engineersB. neglect of trivial problems in mechanical design often causes costly errors inengineering systemsC. designers of automatic control systems need to have a better understanding ofanalytical problemsD. design of modern engineering systems depends more on nonscientific thinkingthan on mechanical knowledge15. Which of the following can best describe the function of non-verbal thinking inthe development of technology?A. Vital C. FundamentalB. Indispensable D. PreliminaryPassage FourTraditionally, the study of history has had fixed boundaries andfocal points ? periods, countries, dramatic events, and great leaders.It also has had clear and firm notions of scholarly procedure: how one inquires into a historical problem, how one presents and documentsone‘s findings, what constitutes admissible and adequate proof.Anyone who has followed recent historical literature can testify to the revolution that is taking place in historical studies. The currently fashionable subjects come directly from the sociology catalog: childhood, work, leisure. The new subjects are accompanied by new methods. Where history once was primarily narrative, it is now entirely analytic. The old questions ―What happened?‖ and ―How did it happen?‖ have given way to the question ―Why did it happen?‖ Prominent among the methods used to answer the question ―Why‖ is psychoanalysis, and its use has given rise to psychohistory.Psychohistory does not merely use psychological explanations in historical contexts. Historians have always used such explanations when they were appropriate and when there was sufficient evidence for them. But this pragmatic use of psychology is not what psycho- historians intend. They are committed, not just to psychology in general, but to Freudian psychoanalysis. This commitment precludes a commitment tohistory as historians have always understood it. Psychohistory derivesits ―facts‖ not from history, the detailed records of events and their consequences, but from psychoanalysis of the individuals who madehistory, and deduces its theories not from this or that instance intheir lives, but from a view of human nature that transcends history. It denies the basic criterion of historical evidence: that evidence be publicly accessible to, and therefore assessable by, all historians. And it violates the basic principle of historical method: that historians be alert to the negative instances5that would refute their theses. Psychohistorians, convinced of the absolute rightness of their own theories, are also convinced that theirs is the ―deepest‖ explanation of any event, that other explanationsfall short of the truth.Psychohistory is not content to violate the discipline of history ( in the sense of the proper mode of studying and writing about the past); it also violates the past itself. It denies to the past an integrity and will of its own, in which people acted out of a variety of motives and in which events had a multiplicity of causes and effects.

2006年全国硕士研究生考试英语试卷及答案(6)Part BOn the north bank of the Ohio river sits Evansville，Ind， home of David Willianis ，52，and of a riverboat casinola place where gambling games are played .During several years of gambling in that casino ，Williams a state auditor earning $35，000 a year ，last approximately $175，000 . He had never gambled before the casino sent him a coupon for $20 worth of gambling.He visited the casino， lost the $20 and left .On his second visit he lost $800. The casino issued to him， as a good customer， a"Fun Card"， which when used in the casino earns points for meals and drinks， and enables the casino to track the user's gambling activities. For Williams， these activities become what he calls"electronic heroin"。

（41），In 1997 he lost $21，000 to one slot machine in two days. In march 1997 he lost $72，186. He sometimes played two slot machines at a time， all night，until the boat locked at 5 a.m ， then went back aboard when the casino opened at 9 a.m .Now he is suing the casino ，charging that it should have refused his patronage because it knew he was addicted. It did know he had a problem.In march 1998，a friend of Williams's got him involuntarily confined to a treatment center for addictions， and wrote to inform the casino of Williams's gamblers. The casinno included a photo of Williams among those of banned gamblers，and wrote to him a"cease admissions"letter noting the"medical /psychological"nature of problem gambling behaviors， the letter said that before being readmitted to the patronizing the casino would pose no threat to his safety or well-being.（42）The Wall Street Journal reports that the casino has 20 signs warning，"enjoy the fun and always bet with your head ，not over it ."Every entrance ticket lists a toll-free number for counseling from the Indiana Department of MentalHealth .Nevertheless Williams's suit charged that the casino ，knowing he was"helplessly addicted to gambling"intentionally worked to"love"him to"engage in conduct against his will"well.（43）The fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental Disorders says"pathological gambling"involves president，recurring and uncontrollable pursuit loss of money than of the thrill of taking risks in quest of a windfall.（44）， .Pushed by science， or what claims to be science， society is reclassifying what once were considered character flaws or moral failings as personality disorders skin to physical disabilities（45）Forty-four states have lotteries， 29 have casinos， and most of these states are to varying degrees dependent on__you might say addicted to__revenues from wagering. And since the first Internet gambling site was created in 1995，competition for gambler's dollars has become intense. The Oct.28 issue of Newsweek reported that 2 million gamblers patronize 1，800 virtual cosines every week， with $3.5 billion being lost on Internet wagers this year， gambling has ，passed pornography as the web's webs most profitable business.（A）。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET. (15%)Passage 1Something is wrong, if not rotten, in the state of New York, the state of California and every state in between. While searching endlessly for just the right diet, we are consuming ever more calories, growing ever more obese（肥胖）and suffering shocking rates of diabetes, hypertension and heart disease as a result. No one outside the weigh-loss industry is happy about the situation, but as the crisis worsens we seem to grow ever more confused about how we got here – and ever more polarized about how to set things right. Stubborn vegetarians continue to rail against dietary fat and emulate Chinese peasants. Born-again carnivores blame white bread and force themselves onto all-meat diets in hopes of burning up their belly fat. Ordinary civilians throw up their hands and consume whatever is convenient – which is to say potato chips and Coke.Is this the cost of modernity? Have we escaped scurvy, pellag r a and rickets only to suffer higher-tech forms of inadequate nutrition? Somewhere in the fog of conflicting prescriptions, is there a diet that’s both safe and tasty –a diet that can control weight and promote health without denying us the pleasure of food?The federal government has long tried to get the best science on diet and health. But commercial pressures and bureaucratic obstacles have often clouded the results. The United States Department of Agriculture’s famous Food Guide Pyramid, first published in 1992, is now widely viewed as faulty. “The pyramid is a disaster,” says K. Din Gifford of Oldways, a non-profit think tank based in Boston. “The American epidemic of obesity is the proof that it hasn’t worked. Period.”That doesn’t mean all such efforts are doomed. Researchers have gained critical insights into diet and health in recent years. And while they wait for the USDA to remodel its pyramid, some of those experts are concocting whole new alternatives. By far the most ambitious of these efforts is the so-called Healthy Eating Pyramid devised by Dr. Walter and his colleagues at the Harvard School of Public Health. Instead of simply pooling diet preferences, the Willett team claims to have gathered the best evidence from all possible data sources. The Healthy Eating Pyramid has some controversial features, including a strong recommendation of calorie-rich vegetable oils and a virtual prohibition of potatoes and white rice. But its effects have been cleverly evaluated. The diet is designed not for short-term weight loss but for lifelong health. It doesn’t require that you weigh your food or eat according to your blood type. As Willett likes to say, its ultimate message is simple: “Eat, drink and be healthy.”45.We learn from the first paragraph that the average American __________ .A.eats more meat than vegetablesB.eats more vegetables than meatC.consumes a lot of fast foodD.pay more attention to diet than ever before46.According to the passage, Food Guide Pyramid __________ .A.is misleading people on what to eatB.has done a good job on advising food to eatC.is a necessary evil in highly industrialized countriesD.is a non-profit think tank47.It can be inferred from the passage that scurvy, pellagra and rickets __________ .A.are diseases caused by lack of nutritionB.were epidemics once widespread in AmericaC.are diseases resulting from overeatingD.were once incurable diseases48.According to the author, the policy of the federal government concerning food__________ .A.is based on solid scienceB.has undergone great changesC.is swayed by interest groupsD.often results in disaster49.The Healthy Eating Pyramid devised by Dr. Walter Willett and his colleagues atthe Harvard School of Public Health __________ .A.is likely to win universal acceptanceB.has brought about a lot of confusionC.is designed for long-term health benefitsD.aims to eliminate obesity throughout AmericaPassage 2People often talk about how a business should treat its customers. But how often do they talk or even think about how customers should treat a business?Almost everyone has had the experience of standing at the cash register in front of a long line while a salesclerk struggles to find a bar code or price tag. Instead of taking the time to call for a price check, the clerk may turn to the customer and ask, “Do you know what the price is?”For every customer who shakes his head “no,” forcing the salesclerk to call for assistance, there is a customer like Irene, a gray-haired widow, who loves to get into these situations. Though Irene knows the exact price of everything she purchases, she won’t tell it to the salesclerk. She’ll say “It’s $1.98” even when she knows it costs several dollars more. The fact that the salesclerk believes Irene isn’t her problem, Irene says, though she’ll admit it is one of the few benefits of looking like a nice old lady.Nancy, a math teacher, will never forget the time she was buying clothes for her four children. All of the items were reduced 20 percent from the clearance price. The salesgirl punched in the first item’s price, and then took 20 percent off. So far, so good. Then she entered the price of the second item, subtotaled, and took 20 percent off again. Each time the clerk added another item, she subtotaled first before taking 20 percent off. When the final bill was a little over $10, Nancy could hardly believe her eyes. But she paid the bill without saying anything. She told her husband later that many people wou ldn’t have even noticed what the clerk was doing wrong. “Why should I be penalized for knowing math?” Nancy argued.A recent college graduate, Jeffrey, can’t afford everything he wants. When he got an offer to receive free issues of a very expensive magazine, he immediately signed up for a subscription. From the very beginning he planned to cancel the subscription as soon as the free issues ran out. And he did. The problem was that the magazine kept coming anyway and, eventually, Jeffrey was billed for a y ear’s subscription. It took more than a few months of correspondence to get the whole mess settled. And, in the end, Jeffrey did get quite a few issues of the magazine without paying anything.We probably would all agree that Irene, Nancy and Jeffrey are not very good customers. But what does it take to be a good customer? In short, good will. Good will means a customer treats the business honestly and fairly even when he doesn’t have to. Good business policies and good consumer protection against fraud are necessary, but not enough to cover all the possible situations arising between abusiness and its customers. It takes good will to fill in the cracks. It takes good will to make both good businesses and good customers.50.Why did the salesclerk believe Irene?A.There was a long queue of customers standing at the cash register.B.Irene knew the exact price of everything she purchased.C.There was no time to call for a price check.D.Irene looked like a respectable old lady.51.What does the author mean by “So far, so good”?A.It was right for the salesgirl to take 20% off every item.B.Up to now, everything went smoothly.C.The salesgirl had punched in the right price.D.Up to this point, the calculation was correct.52.The correct procedure for the salesgirl to perform should have been __________ .A.to add up each item and then take 20% off the totalB.to take 20% off the subtotal each time she added a new itemC.to take 20% off each item and then take another 20% off the totalD.to add up the clearance price of each item53.What did Nancy mean by saying, “Why should I be penalized for knowing math”?A.It’s unfair for me to pay the correct sum for knowing her mistakes.B.Why should I be punished because I knew where she made a mistake?C.It’s only fair for me to pay less because I am good a t math.D.People who know math should be rewarded rather than punished.54.What, in the author’s view, should Jeffrey have done to be a good customer?A.He should not have accepted the magazine after the free issues ran out.B.He should have canceled the subscription as soon as the free issues ran out.C.He should have paid in advance when he signed up for the subscription.D.He should not have signed up for the free issues in the first place.Passage 3Certainly, the concept of a “death with dignity” has become an increasing focus of debate, not the least because of medical progress that has brought about a major increase in the number of retired and aged persons. The issue has generated lots of legislation, much of which confuses rather than clarifies an important question in euthanasia: Who will pull the plug?In general, the laymen’s view of euthanasia is one of “mercy killing,” or active intervention to end life, with little or no concept of the possibility of a passive form.I make no excuses and ask no forgiveness for admitting that I have practiced passive euthanasia for many years. In fact, I gave instructions to the doctor attendingmy own mother in her last illness that she should receive no antibiotics nor be tube-fed. At that stage, she was in her 98th year, suffering from her third stroke and unconscious with pneumonia.I have never practiced active euthanasia, a deed that in my country is regarded as murder and could merit the death penalty. But I do believe that in the clinical practice of medicine, active euthanasia has a definite place. I also believe that we should not be afraid to discuss its place in the scheme of things and to explore the possibilities in this approach to the terminally ill.I cannot accept the simple statement that a doctor does not have the right to take life; furthermore, I believe the greatest difficulty is to define life. I myself have defined it as joy in living. Given the absence of this quality, the request of the suffering person and the satisfaction of other criteria such as good faith on the part of those caring for the person and the completion of legal requirements, there is no ethical reason why active medical euthanasia may not be administered.Indeed, I have always wondered at the kind of person who would mercifully end the life of a suffering animal, yet would hesitate to extend the same privilege to a fellow human being.As a scientist and a humanitarian, I find society’s attitude toward the different ways of causing the death of an individual both hypocritical and illogical. Consider that, for as long as man has inhabited the earth, he has accepted with few reservations the right to kill and be killed on the battlefield, even when this leads to not only his own but multiple deaths.I have talked to legal, ethical and medical authorities in many parts of the world on the need for active euthanasia. Again and again the same questions came up: Who will decide when a life is to be terminated and how can mistakes be avoided?Would doctors perhaps misuse the right to take life by getting rid of the people they do not like?Does a doctor have the right to play God?If it is feared that a doctor is playing God when he terminates a life, it can just as readily be argued that he is playing the same role when he prolongs the life of a terminally-ill patient. And surely, when the terminally-ill person develops an inter-current infection that will cause death if not treated, are we not also interfering with God’s will by instituting treatment and preventing the patient fr om dying of the infection?55.What is the layman’s understanding of euthanasia?A.Killing somebody out of pity because he is in severe pain.B.Ceasing feeding of the patient.C.Stopping treatment.D.Death with dignity.56.What does the author think of active euthanasia?A.It is a form of human cruelty.B.It should be allowed for the terminally ill.C.It is interference in God’s will.D.It is ethically wrong even if legally permissible.57.Why does the author say society’s attitude toward the different ways of causingthe death of an individual is both hypocritical and illogical?A. A single death is much dwelled on while multiple deaths go unnoticed.B.Passive euthanasia is overlooked while active euthanasia is penalized.C.Ending the life of a suffering animal is called mercy while doing the same toa human is called murder.D.Euthanasia is condemned while killing on the battlefield is accepted withoutreservation.58.What is the chief problem that may arise in administering euthanasia?A.Abuse of this practice.B.Religious opposition.pletion of legal procedures.D.The defining of life.59.According to the author, in giving treatment to a terminally-ill patient, the doctoris ________ .A.doing a disservice to societyB.performing humanitarian obligationsC.increasing his sufferingD.interfering with God’s will, too.PART 4 TRANSLATION (15%)Section ADirections: Read the following passage in English carefully and translate it into Chinese in the space provided on the ANSWER SHEET.Neuroscientists（神经科学家）have conducted the first detailed examination of Albert Einstein’s brain and found evidence that part of the renowned physicist’s genius may have come from a section involved in abstract thought that was unusually large and uniquely shaped.Researchers have found that Einstein’s brain was no different than the others in most respects, clearly indicating that a large brain is not a necessary condition for exceptional intellect.However, Einstein’s brain did clearly differ when the researchers examined the parietal lobes （大脑顶叶）, which are located in the top back of the brain, and believed to be involved in spatial visualization, mathematical thought, and three-dimensional thinking. Portions of Einstein’s parietal lobes were large on both sides, making his brain 15 percent wider than the other brains.Although the discovery does not conclusively explain the source of Einstein’s towering intellect, and probably was just one factor in the development of his intelligence, it does provide a clue to how subtle differences in the human brain can profoundly affect how the mind works.

The government does help pay for some medical care for people who are on low incomes and for old people, but most people buy insurance (保险) to help pay for medical care. The problems of those who cannot afford insurance are an important political subject.In Britain, when people are ill, they usually go to a family doctor first, however, people in America sometimes go straight to an expert without seeing their family doctor first. Children are usually taken to a doctor who is an expert in the treatment (治疗) of children. In Britain, if a patient needs to see a specialist doctor, their family doctor will usually recommend a specialist.Doctors do not go to people’s homes when they are ill. People always make appointments to see the doctor in the doctor’s office. In a serious situation, people call for an ambulance (救护车), in America, hospitals must treat all seriously ill patients, even if they do not have medical insurance. The government will then help pay for some of the cost of the medical care.36.
