The most remarkable weap on inven ted by primitive man is the boomera ng. Made of hard wood, it is shaped into a curve over hot coals. It is from two to four feet long, flat on one side and rou nded on the other, with a sharp edge. There are several kinds of boomerangs. They are used for war, for hun ti ng, and for amuseme nt. The well - known "retur n" boomera ng is really a toy .In stead

of going straight forward, it slowly rises in the air. It whirls around in a curved line until it reaches a certain height, after which it returns to the thrower. This effect is produced by the action of the air on the bulgi ng side of the boomera ng. The other types are effective weap ons because of their size and irregular moti on .It is said that with one of these weap ons, a n ative can cut s small ani mal in two at a dista nee of 400 feet.

Passage 3

Ever since huma ns have in habited the earth, they have made use of various forms of commu ni cati on. Gen erally, this expressi on of thoughts and feeli ngs has bee n in the form of oral speech. When there is a language harder, communication is accomplished through sign language in which moti ons sta nd for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expressi on. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used in ter nati on ally; spell ing, however, cannot.

Body lan guage tra nsmits ideas or thoughts by certa in acti ons, either inten ti on ally or uninten ti on ally. A win k can be a way of flirt ing or in dicati ng that the party is only jok ing. A nod sig nifies approval, while shak ing the head in dicates a n egative reacti on.

Other forms of non li nguistic lan guage can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fin gertips), sig nal flags, Morse code, and smoke sig nals. Road maps and picture sig ns also guide, warn, and in struct people.

While verbalizati on is the most com mon form of la nguage, other systems and tech ni ques also express huma n thoughts and feeli ngs.

24. Which of the follow ing best summarizes this passage?

A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.

B. Everybody uses only one form of commu ni cati on.

Passage 4

Islamic law is a particularly instructive example of “ sacredlaw ” .Islamic law is a phe nomenon so differe nt from all other forms of law--no twithsta nding, of course, a con siderable and in evitable n umber of coin cide nces with one or the other of them as far as subject matter and positive enactments are concerned that its study is indispensable in order to appreciate adequately the full range of possible legal phe nomena. Even the two other represe ntatives of sacred law that are historically and geographically nearest to it, Jewish law and Roman Catholic Canon law, are perceptibly differe nt.

Both Jewish law and Canon law are more uniform than Islamic law. Though historically there is a discernible break between Jewish law of the sovereign state of ancient Israel and the Diaspora (the dispersi on of Jewish people after the con quest of Israel), the spirit of the legal matter in later parts of the Old Testament is very close to that of the Talmud, one of the primary codifications of Jewish law in the Diaspora. Islam, on the other hand, represented a radical breakaway from the Arab paga nism that preceded it; Islamic law is the result of an exam in ati on, from uni form, comprising as it did the various components of the laws of pre-Islamic Arabia and numerous legal elements taken over from the non-Arab peoples of the conquered territories. All this was unified by being subjected to the same king of religious scrutiny, the impact of which varied greatly, being almost non existe nt in some fields, and in others orig in at ing no vel in stituti ons. This cen tral duality of legal subject matter and religious norm is additional to the variety of legal, ethical, and ritual rules that is typical of sacred law.

In this relation to the secular state, Islamic law differed from both Jewish and Canon law. Jewish law was buttressed by the cohesi on of the commu nity, rei nforced by pressure from outside; its rules are the direct expression of this feeling of cohesion, tending toward the accommodation of dissent. Canon and Islamic law, on the contrary, were dominated by the dualism of religion and state, where the state was no t, i n con trast with Judaism, an alie n power but the political expressi on of the same religion. But the conflict between state and religion took different forms; in Christianity it appeared as the struggle for political power on the part of a tightly organized ecclesiastical hierarchy, and Canon law was one of its political weap on s. Islamic law, on the other hand, was never supported by an organized institution; consequently, there never developed an overt trial of stre ngth. There merely existed discorda nee betwee n applicati on of the sacred law and many of the regulations framed by Islamic states; this antagonism varied according to place and time.

29. According to the passage, which of the following statements about sacred law is correct?

A. The various systems of sacred law originated in a limited geographical area.

B. Systems of sacred law usually rely on a wide variety of precede nts.

C. Systems of sacred law function most effectively in communities with relatively small populati ons.

D. Systems of sacred law gen erally con tai n prescripti ons gover ning diverse aspects of huma n

activity.

30. It can inferred from the passage that the application of Islamic law in Islamic states has

A. systematically been opposed by groups who believe it is contrary to their interests

B. freque ntly bee n at odds with the legal activity of gover nment in stituti ons

C. remained unaffected by the political forces operating alongside it

D. ben efited from the fact that it n ever experie need a direct confron tati on with the state

31. The passage suggests that canon law differs from Islamic law in that only canon law

A. contains prescripti ons that non-sacred systems might regard as properly legal

B. played a role in the direct confron tati on betwee n in stituti ons competi ng for power

C. concerns itself with the duties of a person in regard to the community as a whole

D. developed in a political en viro nment that did not challe nge its fun dame ntal existe nce

32. All of the following statements about the development of Islamic law are implied in the

passage EXPECT ________ .

A. pre-Islamic legal principles were incorporated into Islamic law with widely differing degrees of cha nge

B. diverse legal eleme nts were joined together through the applicati on of a purely religio ns criteri on

C. there was a fun dame ntally shared characteristic in all pre-Islamic legal matter take n over by Islamic law

D. although Islamic law emerged among the Arabs, Islamic law was in flue need by eth ni cally diverse eleme nts

33. The passage is most likely a part of _______ .

A. a book review

B. a research report

C. a code

D. a briefi ng

Passage 5

By far the worst form of competiti on in schools is the disproporti on ate emphasis on exam in ati on s. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concen trate on those thi ngs they do well. The merits of competiti on by exam in ati on are somewhat questi on able, but competiti on in the certa in kno wledge of failure is positively harmful.

A. the pressure is too great on the stude nts

B. some stude nts are bou nd to fail

C. failure rates are too high

Passage 6

The fact that the general literature on interviewing does not deal with the journalistic in terview seems to be surpris ing for two reas ons. First, it seems likely that most people in modern Western societies are more familiar, at least in a positive mann er, with journalistic in terviewi ng

than with any other form of interviewing. Most of us are probably somewhat familiar with the cli ni cal in terview, such as that con ducted by physicia ns and psychologists.

皿TRANSLATION (30%)

Directio n: Tran slate the five un derl ined senten ces into Chin ese in the followi ng two passages.

Passage 1

For differe nt readers differe nt aspects will take on differe nt degrees of importa nee, and some con siderati on should be give n to structuri ng research reports differe ntly for different audiences. (1) Management, for example, will be most concerned with the results of a research project, and thus the results section should be emphasized, probably by presenting it immediately after the problem section and before the procedures section. Other researchers would be most in terested in the procedures secti on, and this should be highlighted in writ ing up research projects for publicati on in professi onal jour nals or for prese ntati on at professi onal con fere nces. For non-tech ni cal readers and gover nment age ncies, the implicati ons of the results might be the most important consideration, and emphasis should be placed on the discussion of the report for this readership. Therefore, research data should be presented in a way that places proper emphasis on maior aspects of the project. (2)

Passage 2

Most con cepti ons of the process of motivati on beg in with the assumpti on that behavior is, at least in part, directed towards the attainment of goals or towards the satisfaction of

needs or motives. (3) Accordin gly, it is appropriate to beg in our con siderati on of motivation ______

in the work place by exam ining the motives for work ing. (4) Sim on poi nts out that an organization is able to secure the participation of a person by offering him inducements that con tribute in some way to at least one of his goals. The kinds of in duceme nts offered by an organization are varied, and if they are effective in maintaining participation they must n ecessarily be based on the n eeds of the in dividuals. (5)

2012四川大学考博英语真题及答案详解

四川大学2012考博英语真题及答案详解 阅读 1）Sign has become a scientific hot button. Only in the past 20 years have specialists in language study realized that signed languages are unique—a speech of the hand. They offer a new way to probe how the brain generates and understands language, and throw new light on an old scientific controversy: whether language, complete with grammar, is something that we are born With, or whether it is a learned behavior. The current interest in sign language has roots in the pioneering work of one rebel teacher at Gallaudet University in Washington, D. C., the world’s only liberal arts university for deaf people. When Bill Stokoe went to Gallaudet to teach English, the school enrolled him in a course in signing. But Stokoe noticed something odd: among themselves, students signed differently from his classroom teacher. Stokoe had been taught a sort of gestural code, each movement of the hands representing a word in English. At the time, American Sign Language (ASL) was thought to be no more than a form of pidgin English (混杂英语). But Stokoe believed the “hand talk” his students used looked richer. He wondered: Might deaf people actually: have a genuine language? And could that language be unlike any other on Earth? I t was 1955, when even deaf people dismissed their signing a s “substandard”. Stokoe’s idea was academic heresy (异端邪说). It is 37 years later. Stokoe—now devoting his time to writing and editing books and journals and to producing video materials on ASL and the deaf culture—is having lunch at a cafe near the Gallaudet campus and explaining how he started a revolution. For decades educators fought his idea that signed languages are natural languages like English, French and Japanese. They assumed language must be based on speech, the modulation (调节) of sound. But sign language is based on the movement of hands, the modulation of space. “What I said,” Stokoe explains, “is that language is not mouth stuff—it’s brain stuff.” 21. The study of sign language is thought to be _____C___. A) a new way to look at the learning of language B) a challenge to tradi t ional, views on the nature of language C) an approach: to simplifying the grammatical structure of a language D) an attempt to clarify misunderstanding about the origin of language（C） 22. The, present growing interest in sign language was stimulated by ___C_____. A) a famous scholar in the study of the human brain B) a leading specialist in the study of liberal arts C) an English teacher in a university for the deaf D) some senior experts in American Sign Language（C） 23. According to Stokoe, sign language is _____B___. A) a Substandard language B) a genuine language C) an artificial language D) an international language（B）

哈工大考博英语真题及答案

General English Admission Test For Non-English Major Ph.D. program (Harbin Institute of Technology) Passage One Questions 1-7 are based on the following passage: According to a recent theory, Archean-age gold-quartz vein systems were formed over two billion years ago from magmatic fluids that originated from molten granitelike bodies deep beneath the surface of the Earth. This theory is contrary to the widely held view that the systems were deposited from metamorphic fluids, that is, from fluids that formed during the dehydration of wet sedimentary rocks. The recently developed theory has considerable practical importance. Most of the gold deposits discovered during the original gold rushes were exposed at the Earth’s surface and were found because the y had shed trails of alluvial gold that were easily traced by simple prospecting methods. Although these same methods still leas to an occasional discovery, most deposits not yet discovered have gone undetected because they are buried and have no surface expression. The challenge in exploration is therefore to unravel the subsurface geology of an area and pinpoint the position of buried minerals. Methods widely used today include analysis of aerial images that yield a broad geological overview, geophysical techniques that provide data on the magnetic, electrical, and mineralogical properties of the rocks being investigated, and sensitive chemical tests that are able to detect : the subtle chemical halos that often envelop mineralization. However, none of these high-technology methods are of any value if the sites to which they are applied have never mineralized, and to maximize the chances of discovery the explorer must therefore pay particular attention to selecting the ground formations most likely to be mineralized. Such ground selection relies to varying degrees on conceptual models, which take into account theoretical studies of relevant factors. These models are constructed primarily from empirical observations of known mineral deposits and from theories of ore-forming processes. The explorer uses the models to identify those geological features that are critical to the formation of the mineralization being modeled, and then tries to select areas for exploration that exhibit as many of the critical features as possible. 1. The author is primarily concerned with . A. advocating a return to an older methodology. B. explaining the importance of a recent theory.

北京大学考博英语历年试题综合分析 导言：考博英语真题的重要性 全国各大院校在制定本校英语专业考试大纲时，对英语的考核基本上不指定参考书，考生在备考时往往感到漫无目的，无所适从，所以对各大院校的考博英语历年真 题分析则显得尤为重要。华慧考博英语教研中心在历时8年的教学研究的过程中，总 结国内50多所重点院校的考博英语试题的出题特点与规律，认为考生精研各院校的历年试题对考出良好的成绩有非常大的帮助。 考博英语试题的独特性 众所周知，英语类的考试，如高考、大学英语四六级、专业四八级考试、研究生 入学考试等均由统一的命题组人员统一命制试题，命题组阵容强大，且耗费的人力、物力也不在少数，其题目基本是原创题目。而考博英语却并非这样，因此，考博英 语有其自身的独特性，考博英语的独特性主要表现在其命题方式与题目来源两方面。 首先，从命题方式来看，博士考试中，要求考生达到英语的最低分数线，这一要 求就注定了各大考博院校的英语试题的命题方式，各大考博院校不会花费大量的人力、物力及时间原创一套考博英语试题。并且各大院校为了保证其试题的准确性，一般会 选择已经考过的各类相关难度的试题，这样就可以避免出现大量的因个人学术水平方 面而引起的错误和争议。 其次，从题目来源看，各大院校的考博英语试题基本来自专四、专八、六级、杂 志文章或其它考博院校的原题，极少出现原创题目。因其题目来源的独特性，我们研 究各大院校的考博英语试题就显得非常有必要且益处极大。如果考生在考前了解了这 一情况，且充分重视这个规律，那么获得考博英语高分不是什么难事。所以考生考前 精研考博英语真题是非常有必要的。
