从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并将答题卡的相应代码涂黑。

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Gliese 581g is the sixth planet to be found circling a dwarf star some 20 light-years away, in the constellation of Libra. On paperit looks good – three times the mass of

the Earth with possibly a rocky surface and enough gravity to hold on to an atmosphere.

The researchers also promised shirt-sleeve weatherin some regions, but not everywhere. One side of the planet is almost always in sunshine; the other almost always in darkness and estimated temperatures range from minus four degrees Celsius to a very hot 71 degrees. A year meanwhile would go by in just 37 days.

Of course, whether life could really be supported on Gliese 581g will need much more investigation and, most probably, technologies which don't exist yet. But the astronomers say planet hunting is getting easier and they were surprised how quickly they detected the tell-tale signsof this distant body, using ground-based telescopes.

21. Which of the following is correct about Gliese 581g?__B___

A. It is a dwarf star with gravity.

B. It is a planet like the earth.

C. It was discovered many centuries ago.

D. It is very close to the earth.

A. It has the mass of the sun.

B. It has about the same mass as the earth and its atmosphere.

C. Its rock and atmosphere are about three times the mass of the earth.

D. It is heavier than the earth and has a rocky surface.

23. Which of the following is correct about the gravity of Gliese 581g?_____C___

A. It fixes the mass on.

B. It is too small to keep anything on the ground.

C. It is enough to hold on to an atmosphere.

D. It helps Gliese 581g to balance between the earth and the sun.

24. What does shirt-sleeve weatherprobably mean?___A___

A. So warm that a jacket is not needed.

B. Changeable.

C. Cold.

D. Extremely cold.

B. Some scientists found it with a telescope on the shuttle.

C. It was found using telescopes on the earth.

D. It was found with the help of a computer.

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

Officially almost 60,000 Nepalese women are now working in the Middle East but the unofficial estimate is closer to 200,000. Many of them are under 30 years old and will be directly affected by the new ban.

The government's been under growing pressure to do more to protect its workers. Women employed in the informal sector as part of a household are very vulnerable. Nepal's Embassies in the region say they deal with numerous cases of alleged physical or sexual abuse, as well as complaints about unpaid wages and terrible conditions.

Many run safe houses to support women who flee their employer's homes. It's only 18 months since the government ended a 12-year ban on all women workers to the Gulf. That wasimposed after a young woman working in Kuwait committed suicide. Now they're adopting this partial ban in the hope that older women might be less at risk. Nepal has a high unemployment rate and the government is trying to strike a balance between protection and allowing women to pursue opportunities.

Other countries face the same dilemma. Two months ago, Kenya banned its citizens from working in the Middle East because, it said, increasing numbers were being mistreated. Last year, Indonesia introduced a ban on women working as maids in the region. That followed numerous cases of abuse and the execution of an Indonesian maid who was accused of killing her former employer.

26. Who will be most probably be affected by the new ban?____A_____

A. Young Nepalese women working in the Middle East.

B. Nepalese women just back from the Middle East.

C. Nepalese women working at home.

D. Nepalese women who wants to work for rich families.

27. Why does the Nepalese government decide to adopt the ban?______C_____

A. Because they wanted women to work at home.

B. Because they wanted Nepalese women to have equal opportunities.

C. Because they wanted to protect the Nepalese women.

D. Because they had a bad relationship with the gulf countries.

28. How are the Nepalese women treated when working in the Middle East？____D______

A. They are well treated.

B. They are offered many opportunities.

C. They have much freedom.

D. Many of them are mistreated and abused.

29. Which of the following is correct about the ban?_____B____

A. It is historical and has never been imposed before.

B. A year and a half ago, another ban existed.

C. It has lasted twelve years.

D. It solves the unemployment problem at home.

30. Which of the following is correct?______C_____

A. Middle East women work outside their countries.

B. Women working in the Middle East all come from Asia.

C. Women working in the Middle East need protection.

D. Embassies cannot do anything to protect women from their country.

Passage Three

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

71. If you have learnt to love books as a child, the reading habit will never desert you. But if this has not been your good fortune, you tend to think of reading as a bore.

A few, but very few, come to the habit late in life. The circumstances which help to set a child on the path to the literary adventure are: a life even barely above real poverty, so that there is cope in the family for thoughts and activities not wholly devoted to the struggle for making a living; the availability of free books either at home or in a public library; and the possession of a character both curious and independent.

In order to desire to read one must be curious. A few children are able to keep this curiosity and their mental independence alive despite the educational system of their country. But many fail to do so either because of an overstrict system where what is most important is memory work; or because of a careless and lazy one where even the basic disciplines of literacy are ignored in the sacred name of free expression.

如果你从小就学会爱读书，阅读的习惯将会陪伴你一生。但是如果你没有这么幸运，你会觉得阅读枯燥乏味。有些人，但是很少，会在日后爱上阅读。有助于帮助孩子走上文学之旅的环境包括：不算特别贫困的生活，这样一来家里就有思考和活动的余地，无需全力以赴为生计而奋斗；家里或公共图书馆里可以获得免费阅读的书籍；拥有好奇而独立的性格。

若要心系读书，人一定要好奇。有些孩子能够保持这种好奇心和思想的独立，尽管他们国家的教育体系（可能对此不利）。但是很多孩子却无法做到这些，要么因为过于严苛的教育体系过于强调死记硬背，要么因为粗疏、懒散的教育体系以自由表达的堂皇理由忽视了最基本的读书原则。

To have the camera installed in the back of his head, Iraqi-born Wafaa Bilal had to undergo a painful surgical procedure to tuck the camera firmly under his scalp.

The camera will take a photograph every single minute, digitally capturing every aspect of Wafaa Bilal's life.

The images will then be beamed from New York, where the artist lives, to the Middle East, where the photographs will be displayedat Qatar's new Arab Museum of Modern Art.

The artist says the project will raise important social, political and artistic questions, and has vowed to go about his daily life as normal.

But he admits some things, like sleeping for example, will be a bit tricky. He now has to sleep sitting upright, and cannot use a pillow. There's also the question of privacy. Wafaa Bilal says dinner party invitations have already started drying up.

B. On the back of the artist?s head, attached to a cloth.

Passage Two

Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

It began with three friends searching for an easier way to share videos. One - Jawed Karim - uploaded the site's first clip - a movie of himself dressed in an anorak at San Diego Zoo.

Thousands of teenagers around the world have also used the site to upload embarrassing videos of friends and its creators have been forced to deny claims that it's encouraged bullying.

With online habits and fads constantly changing no one's sure what the next five years hold for YouTube. Some believe it could end up as a TV channel beamed into

VII. Translate the following sentences from English into Chinese (15 points) 请将下列各句译成汉语并将答案写在答题卡上。

71. One reason for discussing listening here is because of concerns expressed by people attending assertiveness courses, many of whom are helped by improving their listening skills. For example, non-assertive people who are shy often find it difficult to begin conversations with others, especially on social occasions when they feel they have no aptitude for small talks.

Many people find it relatively easy to communicate on a professional level, on which the content of conversation is technical, technological or business oriented, but have difficulty in stepping from behind their desks and chatting with superiors, co-workers, clients and customers on a more personal level. On training courses participants previously unknown to each other will soon talk together about work-related issues --- common objectives --- but some keep silent during refreshment breaks where social chitchat is required.

Concentrating on others ---finding out their experiences, beliefs and attitudes --- is the way forward. Active listening can really help you know more about them and establish a basis for solid communication.

在这里讨论倾听的原因之一是参加发言课程的人们对此很关注，人们通过提高个人的倾听技能而得到了改善。譬如，不善发言和羞怯的人常常觉得很难同别人开始攀谈，尤其当他们觉得自己不善于聊天的那些人。

很多人觉得在职业方面进行交流相对容易些，因为这些谈话的内容都是以工作技巧、技术或生意为导向。但是跨出办公桌，与上司、同事、客户或顾客进行较为随意的交流则很困难。在培

训课上，以前并不认识的参与者很快就聊起与工作有关的问题，这是他们的共同目标，但是在茶点休息时间该发生的交往聊天却很沉默。

关注别人，发现他们的经历、信仰和态度等是谈话继续的办法。积极的倾听者能真正帮助你更多地了解他们并为扎实的交流奠定基础。

II. Cloze Test (10 points, 1 point for each item)

下列短文中有十个空白，每个空白有四个选项。请根据上下文要求选出最佳答案，并将答题卡的相应代码涂黑。

China was bound to A the US in terms of total energy consumption sooner or later, and according to IEA B , it happened in 2009.

One long-term factor behind this development is China's population – more than four times Dof the US –with a growing appetite for consumer goods that need energy to use and to C .

The other key reason is China's rapid economic growth, an annual average of 10% C the last two decades, compared with a much slower 2.6% in the United States. Much of China's economic growth has been in industry and construction, which are big energy users.

The timing of China overtaking the US also reflects the global financial crisis, which D the American economy much harder and so had a bigger A on the country's energy use.

China's new A in energy consumption is yet another indicator of its growing influence in the global economy especially in international energy markets.

But while China's total energy consumption has, according to the IEA, overtaken the US, it's still far behind in terms of energy use per person, by a factor of more than three. Chinese officials have said the IEA's data are unreliable, and fail to C what they call their relentless efforts to cut energy use and emissions.

The response probably reflects China's sensitivity to criticism of its growing global influence. But the IEA's analysis is not a criticism. A senior official at the agency described China's growing energy consumption as legitimate, B its population.

11. A. overtake B. less C. much D. little

12. A. counts B. calculations C. multiplications D. outcomes

13. A. which B. as C. such D. that

14. A. turn down B. turn in C. manufacture D. fabricate

15. A. on B. beneath C. over D. under

16. A. hits B. hitting C. being hit D. hit

17. A. impact B. impacting C. effects D. effect

18. A. lead B. leader C. heading D. head

19. A. a time B. a stage C. an age D. a period

20. A. a presence B. an appearance C. an expression D. a disclosure

III. Reading Comprehension (30 points, 2 points for each item)

从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并将答题卡的相应代码涂黑。

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

On Christmas Day 1990, in a laboratory in Switzerland, British physicist Tim Berners-Lee finished developing the tools to create the World Wide Web. He was working at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research, Cern, in Geneva.

His boss gave him the green light to work on the project during his spare time and together with the help of his Belgian colleague Robert Cailliau, Tim Berners-Lee produced the world?s first webpage.

The experiment heralded a new era because it demonstrated how computers could talk to each other through a new language they created called Hyper-Text Markup Language, or HTML.

Currently there might be anything up to a trillion webpages with all sorts of content. People buy and sell products and services, make friends through these pages, learn and teach. We found many enthusiasts of the web in the streets of London.

Man 1: “It means having information in your home with easy access which in the past would have only been available in thousands of libraries. So it?s information at your fingertips.”

Woman: “Access to a lot of people really. We?ve got a lot of family overseas so we use Skype quite a bit.”

Man 2: “Information, news, social groups.”

Man 3: “I?m just using it usual ly for emails and social networking with my friends and well, reading newspapers and information. Basically everything!”

Fortunes were made in the World Wide Web. Many say that Tim Berners-Lee could have been a billionaire through his invention but he said that all he wants is to keep the egalitarian spirit of the web intact and the medium free to use. Many users share the same ideals.

2016年考研英语一真题及答案

2016 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语（一） 真题及答案（完整版） Text 1 France, which prides itself as the global innovator of fashion, has decided its fashion industry has lost an absolute right to define physical beauty for woman. Its lawmakers gave preliminary approval last week to a law that would make it a crime to employ ultra-thin models on runways. The parliament also agreed to ban websites that" incite excessive thinness" by promoting extreme dieting. Such measures have a couple of uplifting motives. They suggest beauty should not be defined by looks that end up with impinging on health. That's a start. And the ban on ultra-thin models seems to go beyond protecting models from starring themselves to health -as some have done. It tells the fashion industry that it move take responsibility for the signal it sends women, especially teenage girls, about the social tape -measure they must use to determine their individual worth. The bans, if fully enforced ,would suggest to woman （and many men ）that they should not let others be orbiters of their beauty .And perhaps faintly, they hint that people should look to intangible qualities like character and intellect rather than dieting their way to sine zero or wasp-waist physiques . The French measures, however, rely too much on severe punishment to change a culture that still regards beauty as skin-deep-and bone-showing. Under the law, using a fashion model that does not meet a government-defined index of body mess could result in a $85,000 fine and six months in prison. The fashion industry knows it has an inherent problem in focusing on material adornment and idealized body types. In Denmark, the United States, and a few other countries, it is trying to set voluntary standard for models and fashion images there rely more on pear pressure for enforcement. In contrast to France's actions, Denmark's fashion industry agreed last month on rules and sanctions regarding age, health, and other characteristics of models .The newly revised Danish Fashion Ethical charter clearly states, we are aware of and take responsibility for the impact the fashion industry has on body ideals, especially on young people. The charter's main toll of enforcement is to deny access for designers and modeling agencies to Copenhagen. Fashion week, which is men by the Danish Fashion Institute .But in general it relies on a name-and -shame method of compliance. Relying on ethical persuasion rather than law to address the misuse of body ideals may be the best step. Even better would be to help elevate notions of beauty beyond the material standards of a particular industry. 21. According to the first paragraph, what would happen in France [A] Physical beauty would be redefined [B] New runways would be constructed

While people have heard of Black Friday; most do not know its origins. Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving (感恩节).On this day most retail stores open their doors very early一some as early as 4 am. In addition, they provide their customers with great discounts on products. With this in mind, it is clear to see why so many shoppers buy many of their Christmas gifts on Black Friday. Black Friday is not as ok! as many people think. In fact, it is believed that the first Black. Friday was held in the 1970s in the USA. It was a day when stores decided to mark the start of the holiday season In order to draw more customers, they offered great discounts. All products sold very well. This large success resulted in the name Black Friday, it was so named because the stores were "in the black". This financial term means the stoics made a lot of money. However, it was not until around 2002 that Black Friday really started to gain in popularity. Today in the USA, countless advertisers proudly announce their Black Friday sales. They hope to attract shoppers into their stores. Black Friday is a day when many shoppers in the USA go out and buy gifts, even though Christmas Eve is still a more popular day to shop. Thanks to the Internet, it is now possible to get some excellent Black Friday deals online. So if you don't want to get to the stores by 4 am, this is the perfect way to still get items at reduced prices.

2016考研英语二真题：小作文解析

2016考研英语二真题：小作文解析 Suppose you won a translation contest and your friend Jack wrote an email to congratulate you, and ask advice on translation. Write him a reply to 1)thank him; 2)give your advice. You should write neatly on the ANWSER SHEET. Do not sign you own name at the end of the letter, use “Li Ming ” instead. Do not write the address .(10 point) 如大家所见，这是2016年英语二小作文题目。英语（二）考纲的写作部分，其实主 要考查学生的应用能力，考查范围包括私人和公务信函、备忘录、报告等，还应能写一般 描述性、叙述性和说明或议论性的文章；而要求考生根据所给情景写出一篇约100词（标 点符号不计算在内）的应用性短文。 作为写作B部分的小作文总分10分，大家要抓住得分点。小作文在评分时有如下评分 要点：1.信息点——覆盖全面；2.内容——组织连贯；3.语言——准确性；4.格式——符 合要求；5.语域——恰当。 不出所料，今年英语二的小作文再次考查了书信体，并且考查的信件可以说是杂糅型的。这在2011年英语二中出现了同样的考查方式： Suppose your cousin LI MING has just been admited to a university write him/her a letter to： （1）Congratulate him/her，and （2）give him/her suggestions on how to get prepared for university life You should write about 100 words on ANSWER SHEET 2. DO not sign your own name at the end of the letter，Use zhangwei. 同样的考查方式，足以说明一件事情——绝对要重视考研真题。跨考教育英语教研室 的老师总在强调真题的重要性，希望大家以后一定要强化这种认识。 下面我们来详细解读下今年的小作文，首先看一下题目要求： 称呼： Dear Jack注意称呼中，后面的逗号不可丢，也不能写成冒号。 正文 建议大家三步走策略——简洁、直接、明了：写作目的、写作是由、重申目的第一段：写作内容需涵盖两点：写信目的，表明感谢来自朋友的祝贺；可以采用这样 的表达方式：I’m writing to express my gratitude for your congratulation on my success in the translation contest. 第二段：写作内容应以建议为主体。在这个过程中可以把日常我们如何提高的方式写 进正文，如讲究学习方式、注重坚持、多多接触外文文化及语境。那本篇老师主要从前两 个方面进行论述，表达如下：As regard to my experience, I would like to offer you some proposals in this part. At the top of list is the persistence due to the fact that you could deserve the position after days or years of efforts that you have had in the field. What’s more, you are supposed to pay more attention to the way in which you finish your major, for it plays a significant role in the process. 第三段：再次强调重申写信目的，如Thanks again and I do hope that my suggestions can be in favor of your future study. 落款： Yours sincerely, 特别提醒sincerely后面逗号不能丢；签名： Li Ming特别注 意 Ming 后面一定不能出现句点。

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.
