本文介绍了东日本铁路公司引人关注的新计划。文章第一段介绍说东日本铁路公司创造性地利用车站内部及周围房地产的计划正引起越来越多人的关注。第二段具体介绍了这一计划的内容及好处,即适应信息时代的要求,把车站作为网上购物的物品收取地,这样既为消费者提供了方便,又提高了递送物品的安全性。第三段介绍了该公司引入智能卡代替目前使用的各种磁卡作车票的计划及其优点。

试题精解

1.[精解]本题考查名词的词义辨析。空格处填入的名词与growth搭配,由上下文语义可知,此处表达的含义是“铁路业没有令人振奋的发展前景”,Prospect“景色,前景,期望”指的是possibility of advancement or success。所以[C]项正确。perspective做可数名词时多指viewpoint(态度,观点),如Y ou have the wrong perspective on this situation(对于那个情势的未来发展,你的看法是错的)。outlook用作“前景”讲时用单数形式,如the outlook for economic growth(经济发展的前景)。spectacle“景象,奇观,场面,眼镜”,如A quarrel between drunken women is an unpleasant spectacle(喝醉酒的女人吵架是个丑恶的场面)。

2.[精解]本题考查通过上下文选择适当的副词的能力。空格处的副词修饰的动作是use real-estate assets in and around train stations(利用车站内部及周围的房地产)。由上下文可知,该举动是有创造性的,所以才会引起人们的关注,因此[A]项creatively“创造性地”正确。originally“最初,原先,新颖地”,如The apartment was decorated quite originally(这套公寓装饰的十分别致);authentically“确实地,真正地,逼真地”,其形容词形式为authentic,如DiMaggio was an authentic folk hero(迪马乔是一位真正的民间英雄);initially“最初,开头”,如His response was initially adamant(他的反应开始很强硬)。

3.[精解]本题考查动词词义的辨析。由语法知识可知,空格前的it指代的是主语JR East (东日本铁路),所填动词表示的是该公司对“Station Renaissance”这一计划发出的动作。[C]项embarked“着手,从事”是不及物动词,常用于embark on/upon sth.,如He has embarked on a new career(他开始了一种新的职业生涯),embark on a new plan意为“着手一项新的计划”。[A]项displayed指把物品展示给人们看,display a plan意为“展示一张设计图”;[B]项demonstrated“示范,证明”与plan搭配,指通过具体演示来说明计划的可行性,均不符合文意。[D]项unveiled“揭露,公布”正确,原文意为:东日本铁路有限公司在11月份公布的“车站复兴”计划中说……。

4.[精解]本题考查动词短语的辨析。空格处填入的动词短语与using its commercial spaces for shops and restaurants搭配,应符合文意。首先[B]、[C]两项的用法分别为set out to do sth.“打算、试图做某事”,如He failed in what he had set out to do(他没有做到自己原来想做的事);come around to sth.“平息,苏醒,改变观点、立场”,如It will take him a while

to come around to the idea(他需要时间来接受这个观点),可排除。[D]项指时间上的扩展,如The economic unrest spread over several years(经济的动荡不安延续了数年之久),不符合文意。[A]项go beyond“不止,超出”与状语extending them to呼应,意为“不仅把它的商业空地用于开商店和餐馆,而且还……”。

5.[精解]本题考查名词词义的辨析。空格处填入的名词充当extending them to结构中的介词宾语,其中extend...to...意为“扩展……用于……”,them指上文中的its commercial spaces(东日本铁路的商业空地)。因此,所填的名词应与前文一致,表达这些空地的用处或功能,应与use的名词形式usage属同一范畴。[A]、[C]项都有“使用”的意思,但application 常与“科技成果、理论、法规”等搭配,强调它们的实际应用,一般不与spaces搭配,如The new invention would have a wide range of applications in industry(这项新发明会在工业上获得广泛应用),[C]项functions“功能,作用”正确,即“还要把这些商业空地用于更加适应信息时代的功能上”。enterprise“企业,事业,计划”;performance“履行,执行,性能”。

6.[精解]本题考查名词词义的辨析。空格处填入的名词作pick-up(物品收取)修饰的中心名词,说明东日本铁路公司想把车站作为物品收取的什么。district指有一定特色的区域、地区,如rural/mountainous/financial/theatre district;或行政区域,如election/school/postal district。vicinity“临近地区,附近”,常用单数,如the inhabitants of the vicinity(附近地区的居民)。resort“旅游、度假胜地”,如seaside/beach/ski resort。Location泛指某个地点,与文中pick-up搭配,意为:物品收取地,符合文意。

7.[精解]本题考查动词词义的辨析。空格处填入的过去分词与over the Internet搭配,作定语修饰such goods as books, flowers and groceries。由其中心语goods可知文章所讲的是网上购物,所以[B]项purchase“买,购买”正确,即“东日本铁路打算把车站作为网上所购物品的收取地”。[A]项acquire“获得”,虽然也可以表示“购得”,如The company has just acquired new premises(公司刚购得新办公楼),但它强调“得到”的结果,但该处顾客应该还没有得到货物,所以不正确。[C]preside常与over搭配,意为“主持,主管”,接的宾语为“会议、活动、事件、机构”等,如preside over the meeting/the business.主持会议/主管业务。[D]项attain“达到,(经过努力)获得”也是强调“得到”,不正确。

8.[精解]本题考查名词的辨析。由上下文可知,该处应泛指城市人,所以[C]项city dwellers“城市居民”符合文意。[A]项logers“寄宿者”,[B]项tenants“承租人,房客”,[D]项boarders“寄膳宿者,寄宿生”,都具体到以某种特殊方式居住的人,不合文意。

9.[精解]本题考查介词的用法。depend on sb/sth for sth是习惯搭配,意为:依靠……来做……,符合文意,原文意为:都市人严重依赖列车作为上下班的交通工具。depend on sth as sth意为:依靠……作为……,但as后通常接名词,如We depended on E-mail as the only way of communication when she was abroad(她出国时我们依靠邮件作为惟一的通讯方式)。in“在……期间,从事于”,of“……的(表所属)”。

10.[精解]本题考查动词词义的辨析。空格处填入的动词作谓语,表明铁路公司对about16million people a day go to its train stations anyway(无论如何,每天大约一千六百万人来到它的车站)发出的动作。参考选项,该句所述内容应是该公司“计算或估计”的,[A]项figures正确。[B]项exhibits意为“展示(物品)”,与上下文文意不符。[C]项convinces

“使确信,使信服”,后面接人,如We convinced Anne(我们说服了安妮),如果要接事,应改为is convinced。[D]项speculates指“没有确切证据的推测、估计”,在这里不符合文意;

11.[精解]本题考查动词词义的辨析。空格处填入的动词与consumers extra travel and missed home deliveries搭配。所填动词首先要能接双宾语,即使用sb. sth.的结构,其次搭配后的含义要符合文意。[A]项“剥夺,使丧失”的搭配为deprive sb. ofsth.,如deprived him of sleep(使他不能入睡);[B]项“重新得到,找回,挽回”的搭配是retrieve sth. from sb.如retrieve my bag from him(从他那找回我的包);[D]项“免除,豁免”的搭配为exempt sb from sth.,如exempt him from military service(免服兵役)。只有[C]项的搭配为spare sb. (from)sth.,意为“使某人免于做某事”,如spare his mother any anxiety(不让母亲有丝毫的担忧),原文意为:在车站收取物品使消费者节省了路途而且也不像往家里递送那样容易丢失。

12.[精解]本题考查习惯搭配。[A]项conjunction不与store搭配,它常指“(引起某种结果的事物等的)结合”,如The conjunction of low inflation and low employment came as a very pleasant surprise(低通货膨胀和低失业率的同时出现是一个大惊喜)。考生不要望文生义,“连锁店”是chain store。convenience store指“便利店”,department store “百货店”,ornament store指“饰品店”,根据常识,车站里面比较普遍的是各式各样的便利店,所以[B]项符合文意。

13.[精解]本题考查形近词的辨析。本题表面上是填入合适的过去分词做定语,实际上是辨析四个核心动词的用法。[A]项delegate搭配事物时意为“授权,委任,委托”,如delegate a task /power(委托任务/授权),因此它不与spaces搭配。[B]项designated spaces 意为“指定的场地”,但与上文的create搭配后语义重复。[C]项devoted“投入的,深爱的”,表感情色彩,显然不符文意。[D]项dedicated与spaces搭配表示“专用的空间/场地”。

14.[精解]本题考查形容词的辨析及固定用法。[B]项smart card 是固定搭配,意为:(内有集成电路可储存记忆的)智能卡。四个选项都可含有“聪明的”含义,但当修饰事物时,[A]项“机敏的,巧妙的”,强调“用智慧或小聪明达到目的”,如a clever reply(机敏

的回答),play a clever trick(耍一个巧妙的花招);[C]项指“(机器等)制作精巧的”或“(方法等)巧妙的”,如an ingenious toy(制作精巧的玩具),an ingenious idea/lie(巧妙的主意/

谎言);[D]项Intelligent指“(计算机部件工作性能)智能的”,如an intelligent terminal (智能终端,即具有处理信息能力的终端)。

15.[精解]本题考查动词词义的辨析。题目要求填入一个动名词与information搭配,说明集成电路在IC 卡中的作用。IC卡,即智能卡,内部的集成电路是储存信息的,所以[C]项holding“容纳,储存,准备着”正确。check information“核对信息”,gather information “收集信息”,accommodate information“整理信息”,都不符合文意。

16.[精解]本题考查介词的用法。解题难点在于理清空格所在句子的结构,该句子的主干为the company plans to introduce cards... __16__ train tickets and commuter passes,所填介词与introduce搭配,[A]项as表方式,符合文意,introduce sth as sth(引入……作为……),原文意为“引入智能卡作为车票和定期券”。for表目的、用途,Introduce sth for sth意为“为……而引入、提出……”,如introduce a topic for discussion(提出议题供讨论);with表伴随,

introduce sth with sth意为“把……作为……的开头,用……引出……”,如introduce a talk with an anecdote(说一则轶闻作为讲话的引子),均不符合文意。of表所属,不直接跟introduce 搭配。

17.[精解]本题考查句内逻辑关系。空格处填入的介词短语连接smart cards as train tickets and commuter passes(作为车票和定期券的智能卡)和the magnetic ones used today(现在使用的磁卡)。由于两者是同一性质的物质,因此排除表假设逻辑关系的[A]项but for “要不是”。此外,根据下文可知用智能卡比现在使用的磁卡系统成本要低,因此引用智能卡的目的是使它取代磁卡作车票和定期券,因此[C]instead of项“代替,而不是……”正确。[B]as well as项“也,又,和”表并列,[D]more than项“比……多”表比较。

18.[精解]本题考查形容词的词义辨析。填入的形容词修饰pass。原文意为:把多种形式的票和券合为一张智能卡,[B]项“单一的,专一的”,有把不同的东西统一标准或合为一体的意思,如a single scale of wages(单一工资等级),是正确选项。[A]项“独一无二的,独特的”,强调独特性,意为being the only one of its kind,如the unique human ability (人类独有的能力);[C]项“整体的,统一的,不可分的”,强调完整性,指relating to or existing as a single unit,如 a unitary policy of government(政府的统一政策);[D]项“惟一的,单独的”,强调某种情况下的惟一性,指there is one person, thing, or group in a particular situation and no others,如I was the only one who disagreed(我是惟一一个持不同意见的人)。

19.[精解]本题考查名词词义的辨析。空格填入的名词与for IC cards 搭配,与magnetic systems(磁系统)作比较。首先排除[D]项examiners“主考者,检查人”,因为人和系统之间无法比较价格高低。[A]项“装置,设备”、[B]项“工具,手段”的用法为device/instrument for doing sth,如a device for opening bottles(一个打开瓶子的装置);an instrument for writing (书写工具)。所以[C]项readers正确,意为:IC卡或智能卡的读卡机。

20.[精解]本题考查动词词义的辨析。填入的动词,表达Increased use of IC cards(对IC卡使用的增加)对the space needed for ticket vending (售票需要的空间)的影响。根据上文可知道,IC卡的使用替代了传统的车票和定期券,因此空格所在句子的含义是:IC卡使用的增加减少了售票所占的空间。关键看四个选项哪个与space搭配,符合文意。[A]项reduce “减少,缩小”,用法较为广泛,除表示数量、大小、价格等的减少外,还可以接表抽象含义的词,如reduce the risk of detection(减少被发现的危险),原文意为:对IC卡使用的增加将会减少售票占用的空间。[B]项narrow“使变狭窄,使缩小”与space搭配,指“使空间变得狭小”,有“拥挤”的含义;[C]项dwarf指“(通过与大的事物比较)使显得小”,而实际大小没有改变,如Most professional basketball players dwarf other men(大多数职业篮球运动员使别人显得矮小);[D]项shrink意为“使事物本身缩小或萎缩”,如shrink the markets for the exports(使出口市场萎缩),均不符合文意。

通过国家铁路系统的私有化创建起来的六大公司之一的东日本铁路有限公司,正吸引着越来越多人的目光。在一个发展前景不振的行业,它创造性地利用车站内部及周围的房地产的计划正引起人们的关注。

东日本铁路在11月份公布的“车站复兴”计划中说:它将不仅把它的商业空地用于开商店和餐馆,而且还要把这些商业空地用于更加适应信息时代的功能上去。它打算把车站作为网上所购物品如书籍、花卉和日用百货等的收取地。该公司估算,在一个都市人严重依赖列车作为上下班交通工具的国度里,每天大约有1600万人因各种原因来到它的车站。因此,在车站收取物品使消费者节省了路途而且也不像往家里递送那样容易丢失。东日本铁路已经开始把车站的便利店用于这一目的,但它打算为网上货物的递送创立专门的空间。

该公司还打算引入智能卡(在日本称为IC卡,因为它们利用集成电路储存信息)取代目前使用的磁卡作为车票和定期券,把各种不同的票券合为一体。这将为公司节省资金,因为IC卡的读卡机比磁系统要便宜的多。IC卡使用的增加还将会减少售票所占用的空间。

总体分析

本文是一篇讨论克隆动物和克隆人实验的文章。

第一段:引用专家的话指出克隆人是愚蠢的尝试,接着提到正在进行的克隆动物的实验,指出狗的克隆最具有难度。

第二段:介绍动物克隆实验所反映出来的低效性使威斯苏森教授反对克隆人。

第三段:转折指出,但是克隆狗存在巨大的商机。

第四段:指出克隆动物还远没有成功,并再次引用专家的话否认目前克隆人的可行性。

试题精解

1.下面哪一个最能代表威斯苏森先生对克隆的态度?

[A]克隆动物是一种愚蠢的尝试。

[B]克隆人还没有接近成功。

[C]克隆的效率太低,应该被禁止。

[D]克隆动物可以,克隆人至少现在还不行。

[精解]本题考查考生文中人物观点。文中多次引用了威斯苏森先生有关克隆的话,从中我们可以判断出他的态度。[A]中a stupid attempt出现在文章开始部分,是他对于克隆人而非克隆动物的看法。[B]中not yet close to getting it worked out出现在文章末句,是他对待动物实验的看法,不包括克隆人。事实上,克隆人还没有开始,谈不上是否接近成功。第二段末句,威斯苏森先生提到克隆是极其低效的,但没有提出因此就应该被禁止。因此,[C]部分错误。第二段倒数第二句,威斯苏森先生提出,动物实验中对动物卵的浪费以及动物的自然性流产还可以接受,但研究人就不行。可见,他默许克隆动物,反对克隆人,因此[D]正确。

2. 克隆密斯项目似乎不是非常成功,原因可能是_____。

[A]没有足够的资金支持这项研究

[B]克隆狗比克隆猫或牛更复杂

[C]威斯苏森先生太忙于照料生意

[D]狗的主人要求和他的宠物一模一样的复制品

[精解]本题考查事实细节。第一段倒数第二句指出,克隆密斯可能成功也可能失败。该段最后一句解释其原因是:狗的生殖系统似乎是现代科学中一个神秘的领域。因此[B]为正确项。

第三段首句提到,克隆狗是一个商机,能带来丰厚的科研报酬。该段第三句又提到,对于像密斯的主人这样的消费者来说,高额的花销并不是什么障碍。由此可知,[A]不是项目不成功的原因。[C]属于无中生有项,第三段第二句只提到,多利羊克隆成功后,威斯苏森教授接到很多希望克隆狗的电话,这些电话都潜藏商机。但不能由此推知他忙于商业活动。第三段最后两句提到,密斯的主人知道,密斯的克隆体不一定能有与它一样的脾气秉性。在一份用途声明中,密斯的主人和农业机械大学的团队表示,他们“共同期待能研究密斯的克隆体与它本身的差异之处。”可见[D]也不是原因。

3. 当威斯苏森先生说“克隆是危险的”,他的意思是______。

[A]实验室的技术员可能会受到化学物质的感染

[B]实验室里的猫和狗可能死于疾病

[C]实验会浪费很多生命

[D]克隆的动物比一般的动物能活得更长

[精解]本题考查句意的理解。题干引用的话出现在第二段末。其上文即该段倒数第二句中,威斯苏森先生指出,在猫或牛的克隆试验中,对动物卵的浪费以及许多动物的自然性流产都可以接受,但是克隆人就不行。因此可知,[C]是“危险”的真正含义。其他项文中都未提及。

4. 从第三段我们可以推知______。

[A]富人对克隆人比对克隆动物更感兴趣

[B]克隆动物宠物正成为一个欣欣向荣的产业

[C]克隆狗和一般的狗之间没有什么区别

[D]密斯的主人出重金希望狗能复活

[精解]本题考查推理引申。第三段首句提到,克隆狗是能带来丰厚科研报酬的商机。下文无论是提到动医学院频繁接到的电话,还是举出一掷千金想克隆爱犬的富人的例子都是为了说明首句的观点。因此从第三段可推出的结论是[B]。

该段主要涉及的是克隆狗,因此无从推知[A];从该段最后两句可知,[C]与事实相反;[D]错在revive,由该段第四句可知,密斯的主人只是想要一个密斯的孪生子在它死后继承其优良品质。

5. 从文章中我们可以得知________。

[A]除非技术效率提高否则克隆人类不会成功

[B]科学家们对克隆技术持乐观态度

[C]许多人反对克隆人的想法

[D]克隆的动物即使弱小也更受主人青睐

[精解]本题考查全局事实细节题。文章一开始就引用专家威斯苏森的话,指出克隆

人是愚蠢的尝试。第二段最后两句提到,克隆实验的低效性和危险性在克隆人中不可接受。文章末尾再次引用该专家的话,指出现在动物的研究还没成功,没有必要想到克隆人。由此可见,技术是克隆实验存在的主要问题,也是阻碍克隆人实验的重要原因,因此可推知[A]正确。[B]明显错误,科学家并不乐观。全文只涉及专家和拥护克隆实验的人的观点,因此无从推知[C]。[D]在文中未提及。

全文翻译

“我还没有遇到一个值得被克隆的人,”克隆专家马克·威斯苏森在德克萨斯州农业机械大学空间狭小的实验室里说,“那是一种愚蠢的尝试。”这种风趣的用来形容克隆人的言辞来自一位富人,他花费数百万美金试图克隆一只13岁的名叫密斯的狗。到目前为止,他和他的团队还没有获得成功,尽管他们已经克隆出了两只牛并且正计划在短期内克隆出一只猫。他们可能会在年底成功克隆出密斯,也可能再过五年都不会成功。人类最亲密的朋友——狗的生殖系统似乎是现代科学中一个神秘的领域。

威斯苏森克隆动物的经验使他对克隆人的种种说法十分恼火。在研究“克隆密斯项目”的三年时间里,农业机械大学的团队使用了成百上千只犬科动物的卵,却仅仅获得了一打左右的带有密斯DNA的胚胎,并且没有一个在被转移至克隆母体时存活下来。教授争辩道,在研究猫或牛的克隆试验中,对动物卵的浪费以及许多动物的自然性流产都是可以为人们所接受的,但是对于研究人来说就不行。他表示说,“克隆是十分低效的,而且也相当危险。”

尽管如此,克隆狗仍是一个商机,能带来丰厚的科研报酬。自从1997年多利羊克隆成功后,威斯苏森教授在农业机械大学动医学院的电话就频频响起。对于像密斯的神秘主人这样的消费者来说,高额的花销并不是什么难题,他只是希望匿名以保护自己的隐私。到目前

为止,他已经投入了370万美金来资助这项研究,因为他想要一个密斯的孪生子在它死后继承其优良品质。但是这位主人知道,密斯的克隆体不一定能有与它一样的脾气秉性。在一份用途声明中,密斯的主人和农业机械大学的团队表示,他们“共同期待能研究密斯的克隆体与它本身的差异之处。”

用于实验的狗的命运将由威斯苏森教授的工作来决定。他知道即使有一只能成功怀孕的狗,它的后代,如果能幸存下来,一出生就要面对其他克隆动物所面临的问题:像肺部和心脏发育不全造成的畸形以及体重问题等等。威斯苏森教授质问道,“在我们克隆动物的研究还没有接近成功时,为什么还想到要克隆人呢?”

总体分析

本文介绍了美国法院对平等权利法案实施的限制以及社会相关方面应对这种情况所作出的努力。

第一段:介绍了美国法院对大学中平等权利法案实施的限制及其带来的不利影响。

第二段:指出多家公司与大学组成了反对这种限制的论坛及其原因。

第三段:介绍论坛推行的具体策略。

第四段:介绍论坛主张在公立大学中实施的10%规则的内容及其意义。

试题精解

1.美国法院对平等权利法案的限制意味着________。

[A]少数民族不再拥有受优待的地位

[B]美国大学的质量有所提高

[C]种族照顾取代了种族歧视

[D]少数民族与多数民族是平等的

[精解]本题考查推理引申。第一段首句提到美国法院对平等权利法案的限制。第二句指出其理论依据是种族照顾政策是违反宪法的。第三句指出这种做法意味着对学生的录取不再考虑其种族或民族背景。由此可推知,[A]是该做法的潜在含义。[B]文中未提,[C]明显错误,因为该举动恰恰是反对种族照顾政策。[D]表面上看似乎有点道理,但根据第一段的论述可知,“平等”并不是本文主要涉及的内容。

2. 在整个美国范围内引起争议的事情是什么?

[A]平等权利法案是否应该继续存在。

[B]这项法律是在帮助少数民族还是白人多数民族。

[C]美国大学招生中是否存在种族歧视。

[D]种族不容忍行为是否应该受到惩罚。

[精解]本题考查句意理解。第一段第四句提到,“这在整个美国范围内引起了争议”,注意句中it指的是上文提到的“限制平等权利法案的做法”。该句中as引导的原因状语从句解释了引起争议的原因,即,教育者们认为它造成了少数民族录取率的降低。因此引起争议

的是限制平等权利法案的影响,排除[A]。[B]虽然与文中论述不完全一样,但它其实就等于说“这种做法到底是有利于哪一方”,因此是正确项。第一段主要论述的是“种族照顾政策”,不是“种族歧视”或“不容忍行为”,排除[C]和[D]。

3. 大公司的执行总裁们决定帮助大学招收更多的少数民族学生,是因为他们______。

[A]认为剥夺少数民族接受教育的权利是错误的

[B]想要保存美国民族的优良品质

[C]想要其劳动群体能够反映客户的多元化

[D]认为帮助发展国家的教育是他们的职责

[精解]本题考查推理引申。根据题干定位到第二段。该段最后一句通过引用一位电视公司总裁的话解释了原因:我们的观众越来越多元化,所以如果员工来自不同的种族和民族,那么我们服务的机构将会受益。由此可推知,[C]为正确项。其他项均未提及。

4. 论坛使用的主要策略是_____。

[A]与法庭上的种族照顾政策作斗争

[B]支持牵涉到种族歧视诉讼的大学

[C]努力解决这场全国性的政治争论

[D]找到合法的途径来保证少数民族学生的录取

[精解]本题考查事实细节。论坛推行的策略在第三段第一句提到。其中第一种是找到通过新的录取政策增加少数民族录取人数的有创意且合法的办法。[D]符合这种策略,为正确项。[A]与论坛的宗旨相悖,因为论坛是要维护平等权利法案和少数民族利益的。[B]错在racism,第三段后半部分提到,论坛将援助那些由于尝试他们提出的策略而被起诉的大学。第二段首句只提到,一些公司总裁决定带头加入这场政治上很争议的辩论之中。因此,[C]“解决争论”无从推知。

5. 如果实施10%规则,那么_______。

[A]最好的白人高中生能上大学

[B]公立大学就能招到优秀的学生。

[C]来自贫困农村家庭的学生就能上大学

[D]优秀的少数民族学生就能进入公立大学

[精解]本题考查事实细节。根据题干关键词the 10% rule定位到第四段。该段提到,该规则将使公立大学录取在高中毕业班排名前10%的学生。这种方法也使公立大学能招收到一般城市学校中名列前茅的少数民族学生。因此[D]正确。[A]和[B]本身表述并没有错,但都是泛泛而谈,没有具体提到“公立大学”或“少数民族学生”。[C]在文中根本没有涉及。

核心词汇或超纲词汇

(1)rationale (n.)基本原理,根本原因,如I do not understand the ~ behind the decision to sell the warehouse.(我不明白在出售仓库的决定后面有什么原由。)

(2)divisive(a.)区分的,分裂的,有分歧的;divide(v.)

(3)set forth公布,宣布,提出

(4)plunge in/into sth.(用力地)投入,跳进;热情投入,贸然行动

(5)statewide(a.)全州范围的

全文翻译

二十多年来,美国法院一直在限制大学及其他领域里平等权利法案(又称:肯定性行动法案)的实施。其法律依据是,种族照顾政策,甚至是那些打算对种族歧视或不容忍行为进行补偿的政策都是违反宪法的。对于很多大学来说,这意味着对学生只能被择优录取,而不考虑他们的种族或民族背景。这是在整个美国范围内引起争议的事情,因为教育者们指责说,对平等权利法案的这种长期的反对态度造成了少数民族录取率的下降。与此同时,一些积极分子在密西根州到北卡罗来那州的各个法庭上继续竭力反对种族照顾政策。

如今,约24家公司的行政总裁已经决定带头加入这场政治上很具争议的辩论之中。他们和36所大学以及7家非赢利机构一起组成了一个论坛,该论坛宣布了一项主要为帮助大学逃避法庭对平等权利法案强加的限制的行动计划。这些总裁的理由正如一位拥有九家电视台的公司总裁所说:“我们的观众越来越多元化,所以如果我们的员工来自不同的种族和民族,那么我们服务的机构将会受益。”

论坛推行的步骤如下:找到通过新的录取政策增加少数民族录取人数的有创意且合法的办法;提倡不仅仅取决于考试分数的录取原则;鼓励大学推进少数民族扩招政策及经济援助政策。为了反击评论家们在法庭上质疑这些策略的非难,这个组织声称它将给予那些由于尝试这些策略而被起诉的大学以法律援助。一位论坛成员说,“由于法庭造成的多样性的减少必须通过其他正当合法的手段予以补偿。”

他们所主张的一项更具争议性的办法是所谓的10%规则。这项办法将用在培养了美国四分之三的大学毕业生的公立大学中,这些大学将录取在高中毕业班排名前10%的学生。即使在现行的全州范围的排名制度下,很多大学并不会减少招收的人数,但这种方法可以使大学招收到一般城市学校中名列前茅的少数民族学生。

总体分析

本文是一篇介绍美国经济复苏的文章。全文以经济学家将对国民生产总值的预测上调为引子,对美国经济形势进行了分析。

第一段:指出政府报告带来的意外惊喜使经济学家对国民生产总值的预测上调。

第二段至第四段:作者通过对GDP的增长原因、经济对劳动市场的影响、美联储提高利率的措施进行分析,指出目前经济形势不容过分乐观,因为它并没有飞速发展。

第五段至第九段:作者通过介绍各个部门生产的发展,指出经济已经在缓慢复苏。

试题精解

1.美国经济学家很惊讶地发现______。

[A]他们不得不频繁地修改生产预测

[B]政府在宣告经济衰退期的结束

[C]美国经济显示出好转的迹象

[D]国民生产总值的增长反应了国内需求的增强

[精解]这是一道涉及对第一、二段理解的事实细节题。第一段是一句话段落,其主干结构是positive surprises…lead economists to…supporting the notion that…。该段提到政府报告带来的意外惊喜使经济学家将对国民生产总值的预测上调,从而支持了经济衰退期已在12月或1月终止的观点。由一段中的“意外惊喜”和“经济学家上调国民生产总值预测的举措”可知让他们吃惊的是经济状况好转的迹象,即[C]项为正确答案。

第一、二段只提到经济学家对GDP预期的一次调整,无法推出他们频繁地修改。排除[A]项。由第一段可知,政府只报导了各个领域经济发展的好势头,而未宣布经济衰退期的终止。排除[B]项。第二段末句but转折后提到,但是(GDP)增长部分主要是因为存货提用的速度减缓,而不是需求的增长(surging demand),由此排除[D]项。

2.美国经济方面最激励人心的事实是_____。

[A]就业率的上升已经比预期的要快

[B]美联储很快将提高利率

[C]工业生产正在达到最低点

[D]一些经济部门已经成为主导产业

[精解]本题考查了多处事实细节。第三段第二句提到,惟一的好消息是申请失业保险金人数在9·11事件后达到的高峰期开始回落,现在的水平表明失业的速度(the pace of layoffs)有所缓和(easing)。该句表明失业者还在增加,只是增加的速度低于先前。因此,[A]项与文意相反。[B]项与第四段首句“经济复苏并不意味着美联储将很快提高利率”含义相反。第五段首句是段落主题句:最近的经济报道中最好的消息来自1月份工业生产的数据。末句对主题予以说明:数据表明工业生产部门的产量正在达到底线,复苏即将开始。[C]项是对该句的改写,是正确选项。文中虽然提到很多经济部门,但没有比较谁是主导产业,排除[D]项。

3.作者对什么方面持有相对保守的乐观态度?

[A]国民生产总值的增长。[B]失业人数。

[C]价格指数。[D]消费品的产量。

[精解]本题实际考查了多处事实细节。第二段提到,GDP虽然有所增长,但其增长大多因为存货提用的速度减缓,而不是需求的增长。而且该段首句也提到:这次经济复苏不具有通常经济好转所具有的活力。因此作者对GDP的增长是持保守态度的。

[B]项在第三段提到,即申请失业保险金人数的下降表明失业的速度有所缓和。[C]项在第四段第二句中出现,即1月的价格指数表明通货膨胀仍然很缓和(remained tame)。[D]项在第六段至第九段都有所涉及。因此作者对这三个方面抱有的是很明确的乐观态度。

4.下面哪一个是美国经济更好未来的保障?

[A]汽车[B]房产市场[C]办公设备[D]电脑设备

[精解]本题考查了第六段至第九段的事实细节。这四个段落提到了备选项中四个经济

生产部门。第六段提到,消费品的生产几乎回到了一年前的水平,因为对汽车及其他物品的消费需求以及房屋产业在经济衰退期间都保持了健康发展。第七段提到,过去两个月的月住宅建筑和房产市场相关数据都在整个2001年的平均数以上。这表明住宅建筑有了好的开始,可能不会成为今年GDP增长的累赘。第八段提到,稳固的房产市场可以刺激对房屋相关物品和服务的需求,如家具、电子产品和纺织品。期望消费商品的产量在未来的月份里超越年前的水平。第九段提到,甚至办公设备部门的生产似乎都要降至最低点。它的产量因电脑设备0.6%的涨幅在1月上升了0.4%。

概括而言,汽车是消费者需求的对象,办公设备和电脑设备的产量只是小幅度的增长,只有房产市场不仅呈现良好发展势头,而且还带动其他生产领域的发展。因此[B]项正确。

5.下面哪一个最好的概括了美国当前的经济形势?

[A]美国经济学家正在描绘一幅令人沮丧的景象。

[B]经济在温和的增长中热身。

[C]衰退可能在未来几个月中的任何时候重现。

[D]大部分部门都在以惊人的速度加快发展。

[精解]这是一道涉及对全文主旨理解的考题。综合全文,作者对美国经济进行了客观、全面的分析。从第二至四段的内容可知,作者对GDP的增长原因、经济对劳动市场的影响、美联储提高利率的措施都持有谨慎的乐观态度。但是作者也指出失业的速度有所缓和(三段末),美联储的货币政策相对中性化(四段末),工业生产部门的产量正在达到底线,复苏即将开始(第五段),办公设备部门将以比较缓和的速度继续增长(第九段末)。因此[B]项恰当地概括了美国的经济形势。

文章开篇就提到,政府报告带来的意外惊喜使经济学家对国民生产总值的预测上调。排除[A]项。首段提到,有观点认为经济衰退期已在12月或1月终止。但下文只描述了经济的复苏趋势,因此[C]项不符合。[D]项错在surprisingly fast pace,文中大量出现表示“适中、温和”含义的关键词,如tame,neutrality,relaxed pace等,表明经济的发展速度是缓慢的。

全文翻译

过去几个月里政府有关零售、工业生产和和房产的报告带来的意外惊喜使经济学家对国民生产总值(GDP)的预测上调,从而支持了经济衰退期已在12月或1月终止的观点。

记住:这次经济复苏不具有通常经济好转所具有的活力。经济学家现在预计第一季度里真正的GDP增长率约为1.5%。这比11月一致估计的0.4%要好,但是GDP增长大多是因为存货提用的速度减缓,而不是需求的增长。

而且,经济的增长没有快到可以很大程度上改善劳动力市场。惟一的好消息是申请失业保险金人数在9.11事件后达到的高峰期开始回落,现在的水平表明失业的速度有所缓和。

经济复苏并不意味着美联储将很快提高利率。1月的价格指数表明通货膨胀仍然很缓和。这样,美联储可以从容不迫地将货币政策从极度宽松转向相对中性化。

最近的经济报道中最好的消息也许来自1月份工业生产的数据。整个的生产量只下降了0.1%,是自7月以来最好的表现。工厂生产量平稳,也是六个月中最好的表现。这些数据也许听起来并不让人兴奋,但生产业自2000年后期一直处于衰退之中。这些数据表明工业生产部门的产量正在达到底线,复苏即将开始。

比如,消费品的生产几乎回到了一年前的水平。这是因为对汽车及其他物品的消费需求以及房屋产业在经济衰退期间都保持了健康发展,而且在2002年初仍然在增长。

此外,过去两个月中每月房屋建造和房产市场指数都在整个2001年的平均数以上。这表明房屋建造有了好的开始,可能不会成为今年GDP增长的累赘。

对于经济前景同样重要的是稳固的房产市场将有利于刺激对房屋相关物品和服务的需求。传统消费者在置家后的一年内会购买大部分家具、电子产品和纺织品。因此,今年在这些物品上的消费将看好。甚至现在当汽车销售下滑时,这些商品刺激也没有失去吸引力。期望消费商品的产量在未来的月份里超越年前的水平。

甚至办公设备部门的生产似乎也要降至最低点。它的产量因电脑设备0.6%的涨幅在1月上升了0.4%。第四季度里资本物品订购的上升表明未来的月份里生产的速度虽然缓慢但仍将继续上升。

总体分析

本文是一篇介绍著名网络科学家伯纳斯·李及其发明创造的文章。文章先以伯纳斯·李对万维网的贡献及态度为例,赞扬了他的伟大人格,而后又详细介绍了伯纳斯·李的下一个研究目标——语义万维网——的优点及将给人们带来的好处。

第一段:讲述了20世纪90年代,伯纳斯·李主动放弃自己积累个人财富的机会,把用来发明万维网的技术与世界分享的例子,表明了他的伟大人格。

第二段:通过指出伯纳斯·李对当今网络的不满,引入他的新研究项目——语义万维网。

第三、四、五段:通过新旧对比的方式,介绍了语义万维网的优点及将给人们带来的

好处。第三段介绍新的网络不止能处理数字,还能理解人类的语言和推理。第四段介绍了查询信息时新网络的快捷方便。第五段指出软件代理商可以帮人们处理很多常规事物,还可以整合归纳大量相关信息,促进不同文化背景的人之间的交流,促进新的发明创造,提高人们解决问题的能力。

试题精解

1.如果伯纳斯·李愿意的话,他原本可能已经____。

[A]在20世纪90年代创造最重要的发明

[B]积累了像比尔·盖茨一样多的个人资产

[C]申请了微软软件技术的专利权

[D]把他的创意给了我们所有的人

[精解]本题考查考生根据上下文进行推理的能力。文章一开始就提到,“伯纳斯·李原本可以在财富上与比尔·盖茨一比高低,但是1990年他主动放弃了获得巨额财富的机会。give sb a (good) run for their money“不让……轻易取胜,与……进行激烈竟争”,pass up “放弃,不要(机会等)”。第一段倒数第二句又接着提到,“他想让世界变得更加富有,而不是积累个人财富,所以他把互联网这个他个人智慧的结晶无偿给了我们”。由此我们可以推出[B]项表述了他有能力却不愿意做的事情。

文章第一段中间部分说到:伯纳斯·李决定不为用来创造20世纪90年代最重要的软件发明(万维网)的技术申请专利。[A]、[C]项是对文意的曲解。[D]项在首段末句提到,是伯纳斯·李已经做到的事情。

2.语义万维网将比今天的网络优越,因为它____。

[A]在处理数据方面超越人类

[B]达到使用者的最初期望

[C]既处理数据也处理语言和推理

[D]反应得像个反叛的成年人

[精解]本题考查事实细节。由文章的第三段首句可知:新的万维网将不止能理解词语和概念的意思,还能理解它们之间的逻辑关系。[C]项的language对应原文中的the meaning of words and concepts, reason对应the logic relationships among them,因此是正确项。

第三段第四句提到:现在的计算机(即今天的网络)在处理数据方面已超过了人类,因此[A]项不是语义万维网比现在网络优越的理由。第二段首句提到伯纳斯·李认为今天的网络像一个反叛的青少年,永远达不到他(发明者)最初的期望。[B]、[D]项替换词汇为“使用者”和“成年人”,是对该句的歪曲引申。

3.在未来的网络中搜索任何需要的信息,一个人只须_____。

[A]在一屏一屏的无关信息中艰难搜索

[B]让网络派遣某个使者到他的门前

[C]使用叫“代理商”的智能软件程序

[D]查询上千个网站,然后找出相关信息

[精解]本题考查事实细节。可用排除法。文章第四段提到,“即使使用未来网络的一

个很原始版本,在巨大的网络资源库中寻找所需信息时,人们也不必在一屏一屏的无关信息中艰难搜索了。相反,电脑将派出智能代理商或软件使者(代替你)查询上千个网站,并按逻辑滤出相关信息。”[A]、[D]项是在未来网络中人不用做的,与题目要求不符。[B]项是对文章望文生义,本身错误。只有[C]项正确,第四段中所述未来网络的优势,都是你使用它的智能程序这个前提下的结果。

4.多亏了未来的网络____。

[A]上百万的网页可在一夜之间翻译出来

[B]人们可以在网上找到很多发明和突破

[C]软件制造商可降低电脑配件的成本

[D]使用不同专业术语的科学家们可以更好地合作

[精解]本题考查事实细节题。题干要求选出未来网络带来的好处。第五段最后三句提到:语义万维网可以阅读并翻译专业术语,从上百万的网站提取总结相关信息;促进全球不同文化背景的人之间的合作。[D]项scientists是不同文化背景的人的一个特例,所以是正确项。

[A]项错误,因为该段第四句提到overnight时,是说语义万维网可以在一夜之间比一个人一辈子评估的知识的联合还要多,而不是翻译网页。[B]项的内容是现在的网络就能做到的,不能作为未来网络的好处。[C]项文章没有提及,文中只是说到软件代理商能帮助制造商找到成本最低的零件供应商,并和他们洽谈。

5.这篇文章最合适的标题是______。

[A]两种网络的区别

[B]电脑软件的人格化

[C]全球问题的新解决方案

[D]发明者和他的下一个发明

[精解]本题通过选标题的形式考查了文章的主旨。文章主要介绍了著名科学家伯纳斯·李以及他将要研究出的语义万维网,所以[D]项正确。在分析中,为了说明将来的网络,把它和现在的万维网进行了比较,但这仅仅是为了更好说明语义万维网的优点。所以不选[A]项。[B]项是未来万维网的一个目标,只是文章所述内容的一个方面,不能作为文章主旨。[C]项在文章最后点到,也不是主旨。

全文翻译

伯纳斯·李本可以与比尔·盖茨在财富上一较高低,但是他在1990年(主动)放弃了取得巨额财富的机会。当时伯纳斯·李决定不为那项用来创造20世纪90年代最重要的软件发明——万维网——的技术申请专利。伯纳斯·李想使全世界更加富有,而不是个人的巨额财富。因此,他把自己的创意给了我们所有的人。

伯纳斯·李认为今天的网络像一个反叛的青少年,永远达不到他最初的期望。到2005年,他希望开始用语义万维网取而代之,这是一种将最终理解人类语言并使电脑在事实上像其他人类一样容易合作的智能网络。

据伯纳斯·李设想,新的万维网将不止能理解词语和概念的意思还能理解它们之间的逻辑关系。它的潜能是可怕的。多数知识都建立在两大支柱之上:语义学和数学。在处理数字方面,电脑已超过了人类。在处理语言和逻辑方面同样熟练的机器将不止帮助人们洞察到新的知识,还可能为它们自己开辟新的道路。

即使使用未来网络的一个很粗糙的版本,人们在网上知识的宝库中淘金时,也不必再艰难地翻阅一屏又一屏的无关数据了。相反,电脑将派出智能代理商或软件使者(代替你)去查询数以千计的网站,并按逻辑选出相关信息。只这一点就会给工作和家庭中的生产力带来巨大的推动。但是还远不止这些。

软件代理商还能承担许多日常商务,如帮助制造商找到价格最低的零件供应商,并与其谈判、帮助解决问讯台的问题。语义万维网也会是新发现的无底宝库。多数发明和科学突破,包括今天的万维网,都来自已有知识的新组合。语义万维网将可以在一夜之间比一个人一辈子评估的知识的组合还要多。当然,今天科学家和其他人能够把想法贴到万维网上供别人阅读。但有了可以阅读和翻译专用术语的机器,成百万的网页上的相关信息就可以得到分析和总结。这将把评定和整合信息的能力提高到新的水平。伯纳斯·李预言,语义万维网“将帮助更多的人更加有直觉和分析能力。它将促进不同文化背景的人之间的全球性合作,因此我们有更好的机会找到那些真正的大问题的正确解决方案,如环境和气候变暖问题。”

2020年考研英语阅读模拟试题及答案(2)

2020年考研英语阅读模拟试题及答案(2) The fossil remains of the first flying vertebrates, the pterosaurs, have intrigued paleontologists for more than two centuries. How such large creatures, which weighed in some cases as much as a piloted hang-glider and had wingspans from 8 to 12 meters, solved the problems of powered flight, and exactly what these creatures were — reptiles or birds — are among the questions scientists have puzzled over. Perhaps the least controversial assertion about the pterosaurs is that they were reptiles. Their skulls, pelvises, and hind feet are reptilian. The anatomy of their wings suggests that they did not evolve into the class of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly elongated fourth finger of each forelimb supported a winglike membrane. The other fingers were short and reptilian, with sharpclaws. In birds the second finger is the principal strut of the wing, which consists primarily of feathers. If the pterosaurs walked on all fours, the three short fingers may have been employed for grasping. When a pterosaur walked or remained stationary, the fourth finger, and with it the wing, could only turn upward in an extended inverted V shape along each side of the animal’s body. The pterosaurs resembled both birds and bats in their overall structure and proportions. This is not surprising because the design of any flying vertebrate is subject to aerodynamic constraints. Both the pterosaurs and the birds have hollow bones, a feature that represents a savings in weight. In the birds, however, these bones are reinforced more massively by internal struts.

2015年考研英语模拟试题

Passage One However important we may regard school life to be, there is no denying (否认) the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored by the teacher. They can become strong help to the school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously go against the learning aims. Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted lectures explaining such matter as the reading readiness program, manuscript writing and developmental mathematics. Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The informal tea and the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupil′s progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home. To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly inter If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers′ conferences with parents are devoted to pretty accounts of children′s misbehaviors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestion for punishment and rewards at home. What is needed is more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents′ minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngst ers′ capacities. (355) 1.The central idea expressed in the above passage is that [A]home training is more important than school training because a child spends so many hours with his parents. [B]teachers can and should help parents to understand and further the aims of the school. [C]there are many ways in which the mathematics program can be implemented at home. [D]parents unconsciously have gone against the teaching aims. 2.The author directly discusses the fact that [A]parents drill their children too much in arithmetic. [B]principals have explained the new art programs to parents. [C] a father can have his son help him construct articles at home. [D]a parent′s misguided efforts can be properly directed. 3.It can reasonably be inferred that the author [A]is satisfied with present relationships between home and school. [B]feels that the traditional program in mathematics is slightly superior to the developmental program. [C] [D]is of the opinion that teachers of this generation are inferior to those of the last generation. 4.The author implies that [A]participation in interesting activities relating to a subject improves one′s achievement in that area.[B]too many children are lazy and have poor work habits. [C]school principals do more than their share in interpreting the curriculum to the parents. [D]teachers should occasionally make home visits to parents. 5.We may infer that the writer of the article does favor [A]a father′s helping his son with the latter′s studies.

考研英语模拟试题:阅读理解 Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child-or even an animal, such as a pigeon-can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. if you were asked to describe what anice facelooked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe anice person,you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm,and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon all ports, an American psychologist, found nearly 18 000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types-people are described with such terms. People have always tried totypeeach other. Actors in early Greek
