SectionⅡReading Comprehension
Part A
Directions:Reading the following four texts.Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B,C or D.Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET.(40points)
Text1
In the19th century,there used to be a model of how to be a good person.There are all these torrents of passion flowing through you.Your job,as captain of your soul,is to erect dams to keep these passions in check.Your job is to just say no to laziness,lust,greed,drug use and the other sins.
These days that model is out of fashion.You usually can’t change your behaviour by simply resolving to do something.Knowing what to do is not the same as being able to do it.Your willpower is not like a dam that can block the torrent of self-indulgence.It’s more like a muscle, which tires easily.Moreover,you’re a social being.If everybody around you is overeating,you’ll probably do so,too.
The19th-century character model was based on an understanding of free will.Today,we know that free will is bounded.People can change their lives,but ordering change is not simple because many things,even within ourselves,are beyond our direct control.
Much of our behaviour,for example,is guided by unconscious habits.Researchers at Duke University calculated that more than40percent of the actions we take are governed by habit,not actual decisions.Researchers have also come to understand the structure of habits—cue,routine, reward.
You can change your own personal habits.If you leave running shorts on the floor at night, that’ll be a cue to go running in the morning.Don’t try to ignore your afternoon snack craving. Every time you feel the cue for a snack,insert another routine.Take a walk.
Their research thus implies a different character model,which is supposed to manipulate the neural networks inside.
To be an effective person,under this model,you are supposed to coolly examine your own unconscious habits,and the habits of those under your care.You are supposed to devise strategies to alter the cues and routines.Every relationship become slightly manipulative, including your relationship with yourself.You’re trying to arouse certain responses by implanting certain cues.
This is a bit disturbing,because the important habitual neural networks are not formed by mere routine,nor can they be reversed by clever cues.They are burned in by emotion and
If you think you can change your life in a clever way,the way an advertiser can get you to buy an air freshener,you’re probably wrong.As the Victorians understood,if you want to change your life,don’t just look for a clever https://www.doczj.com/doc/9a12806363.html,mit to some larger global belief.
21.Which of the following is a key element in the19th-century character model?
[A]Passion.
[B]Determination.
[C]Capability.
[D]Action.
22.The19th-century model supposedly does not work because_____.
[A]it has worked unsatisfactorily most of the time
[B]the comparison of free will to a dam is groundless
[C]what one wishes to do should be considered carefully
[D]there were many other factors beyond one’s control
23.What is the main implication of the research at Duke University?
[A]Habit is key to one’s behaviour.
[B]One’s behaviour is difficult to change.
[C]Both habit and will power are important.
[D]Habit has an unidentified structure.
24.According to the new character model,personal behaviour could be altered through_____.
[A]cues to manipulate the habitual neutral responses.
[B]cues to stop all the former unconscious habits.
[C]techniques to devise different physical cues.
[D]techniques to supplement old routines.
25.We learn from the passage that the new character model_____.
[A]has been used change behaviour successfully
[B]deals better with emotional aspects of behaviour
[C]stresses the neutral and psychological aspects of habit change
[D]can bring about changes in one’s life like what advertisers do
【答案与解析】
21.B第二段第二句提到“These days that model is out of fashion.You usually can’t change
your behaviour by simply resolving to do something”，可见19世纪人们都是靠决心来约束自己的，故正确答案为B项。
22.D第三段第三句提到，“People can change their lives,but ordering change is not simple
because many things,even within ourselves,are beyond our direct control”，由此可知，有许多因素都在人们不可控的范围内，故正确答案为D项。

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）

上海交大2013年考博英语试题及答案 第一篇 There are desert plants which survive the dry season in the form of inactive seeds. There are also desert insects which survive as inactive larvae (幼虫). In addition, difficult as it is to believe, there are desert fish which can survive through years of drought (干旱) in the form of inactive eggs. These are the shrimps (小虾) that live in the Mojave Desert, an intensely dry region in the south-west of the United States where shade temperatures of over 50C are often recorded. The eggs of the Mojave shrimps are the size and have the appearance of grains of sand. When sufficient spring rain falls to form a lake, once every two to five years, these eggs hatch (孵化). Then the water is soon filled with millions of tiny shrimps about a millimetre long which feed on tiny plant and animal organisms which also grow in the temporary desert lake. Within a week, the shrimps grow from their original 1 millimetre to a length of about 1.5 centimetres. Throughout the time that the shrimps are rapidly maturing, the water in the lake equally rapidly evaporates. Therefore, for the shrimps it is a race against time. By the twelfth day, however, when they are about 3 centimetre long, hundreds of tiny eggs form on the underbodies of the females. Usually by this time, all that remains of the lake is a large, muddy patch of wet soil. On the thirteenth day and the next, during the final hours of their brief lives, the shrimps lay their eggs in the mud. Then, having ensured that their species will survive, the shrimps die as the last of the water evaporates. If sufficient rain falls the next year to form another lake, the eggs hatch, and once again the shrimps pass rapidly through their cycle of growth, adulthood, egg-laying, and death. Some years there is insufficient rain to form a lake: in this case, the eggs will remain dormant for another years, or even longer if necessary. Very, very occasionally, perhaps twice in a hundred years, sufficient rain falls to form a deep lake that lasts a month or more. In this case, the species passes through two cycles of growth, egg-laying, and death. Thus, on such occasions, the species multiplies considerably, which further ensures its survival. 1.Which of the following is the MOST distinctive feature of Mojave shrimps? A) Their lives are brief. B) They feed on plant and animal organisms.
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. C. enumerating differences between two widely used methods D. describing events leading to a discovery 2. According to passage, the widely held view of Archean-age gold-quartz vein
