spending their money in the marketplace for those goods and services that they want most.Private businessmen,striving to make profits, produce these goods and services in competition with other businessmen; and the profit motive, operating under competitive pressures,largely determines how these goods and services are produced.Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers, coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.

demands can be expressed and responded to by producers.In the American economy, this mechanism is provided by a price system, a process in which prices rise and fall in response to

short supply relative to the demand, the price will be bid up and some consumers will be eliminated from the market.If, on the other hand, producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost,, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product.Thus, price is the regulating mechanism in the American economic system.

productive resources (private property), and they are permitted to hire labor, gain control over natural resources, and produce goods and services for sale at a profit.In the American economy,the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.

难句,

d by spending their money in th

e marketplace for those goods and services that they want most.

【语法分析】

1.核心句为:The American economic system is organized around a...economy。2.economy前面(,)为定语成分,修饰economy。3.economy后面为in which引导的定语从句(in which consumers largely determine...),修饰先行词economy。

4.此定语从句中又包含一个what引导的宾语从句(what shall be produced...)作determine的宾语。

5.此定语从句中还包含一个by引导的分词结构(by spending...)作方式状语。

6.方式状语中又包含了一个that引导的定语从句(that they want most)修饰goods and services。

【本句难点】本句从句复杂,从句较多。

【方法对策】抓住核心句,分清修饰词和被修饰词。核心句为:The American economic system is organized around a...economy,economy前面的修饰成分可以先不看,然后再分析其他从句关系即可。本句主要说明美国经济运行方式。

【例句精译】

美国经济体制基本上是在私有企业、以市场为导向的经济基础上建立起来的。在这种体制下消费者在很大程度上决定应该生产什么产品和提供何种服务:他们使用在市场上花钱购买他们最想要的产品和服务这种方式来行使自己的这种权力。

难句2 Thus, in the American economic system it is the demand of individual consumers,coupled with the desire of businessmen to maximize profits and the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes, that together determine what shall be produced and how resources are used to produce it.

【语法分析】

1.本句核心句为 it is...that强调结构+3个并列部分组成的强调内容。

2.3个并列部分用coupled with 和 and 连接。3个并列成分分别为:the demand of individual consumers,the desire of businessmen to maximize profits,the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes。

3.本句开头的thus表示本句为总结性结论句,是对前面的总结;in the American economic system为状语结构。

4.that后面又包含由and连接的两个并列从句(what shall be produced 和 how resources are used to produce it)作determine的宾语。

【本句难点】 1.It is...that...引导的强调句型,其中强调部分较为复杂。

5.that后面又有一个并列从句。

【方法对策】第一次阅读可以把开头的状语省略不读,主要要看到本句核心句是一个It is...that...强调句型,然后再层层深入分解即可;强调句中所强调的部分是阅读重点,也是细节题考查对象。

【例句精译】因此,在美国经济体制中,个体消费者的需求,加上生产厂商想最大程度赚钱的欲望以及消费者个人想最大限度提高他们手中货币购买力的愿望三者共同决定着应该

生产什么和如何利用资源来生产这些产品。

难句3 by which consumer demands can be expressed and responded to by producers.

【语法分析】

1.本句核心句为:An important factor...is the mechanism...。

2.mechanism后by which引导的定语从句修饰先行词mechanism。

3.定语从句中包含被动成分:be expressed and responded to by producers。

4.定语从句中,and 后被动成分改成主动结构:and producers can respond to consumer demands。

【本句难点】 1.表语(mechanism)的定语从句比较复杂。

2.定语从句中包含被动结构,较难理解。

【方法对策】抓住句子主干,抓住修饰词和从句关系即可迎刃而解。

【例句精译】

市场导向型经济中的一个重要因素是它有一种机制,这种机制能让消费者表达出自己的要求同时也让生产者对此做出反应。

难句4 If, on the other hand, producing more of a commodity results in reducing its cost, this

, which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product.

【语法分析】

1.本句主句为:this will tend to increase the supply...。

2.this 指代的是前面if引导的条件状语从句的内容;此状语从句中主语为动名词短语(producing more of a commodity),插入语(on the other hand)第一次阅读可以省略不读。3.主句包含which引导的定语从句(which in turn will lower the price and permit more consumers to buy the product)修饰increase the supply offered by seller-producers。

【本句难点】 1.本句是一个有条件状语从句的主从句,从句由if引导。

2.代词的指代内容。

【方法对策】明确代词指代内容:第一个its指代的是commodity;this的指代内容;主句中定语从句的修饰内容。

【例句精译】

另一方面,如果某种产品大量生产导致成本下降,产销者提供的产品就会增加,反过来这就会使价格下跌,那么,更多的消费者就可以购买该产品。

难句5 In the American economy, the concept of private property embraces not only the ownership of productive resources but also certain rights, including the right to determine the price of a product or to make a free contract with another private individual.

【语法分析】

1.本句主句为:the concept...embraces not only...but also...。

2.主句的宾语部分为并列结构,由not only...but also 引导,其后为一个长补足语including the right... private individual。

3.补足语中to determine the price of a product 和 to make a free contract with another private individual并列修饰the right。

【本句难点】宾语为not only....but also引导的并列结构;后面为一个长补足语。

【方法对策】抓句子主干(the concept...embraces not only...but also...),然后再分析句子关系。

【例句精译】

在美国经济中,私有财产的概念不仅包括生产资料的所有权,也包括其他的一些权利,比如,产品价格的决定权或与其他私有个体的自由签约权。

51.【答案】 D

【解析】本文谈了美国经济的基本框架和运作情况。词汇题看上下文。从首段thus开始,我们可知,美国经济这台巨大机器,是由“消费者个人需求、生产厂商利润最大化的欲望以及消费者个人想最大限度提高他们手中货币购买力的愿望”这三者共同驱动的。此处maximize为“使……最大化、最大值”之意。故[A]、[B]可立刻排除。如果是[C]的话,就不用maximize,而直接用increase了。

52.【答案】 D

【解析】[A]、[B]明显不对。但也不能选[C],因为那不是第二段的内容。问题问第二段前两句何意?仔细看可知市场型经济中,商品价格基本由供、求关系而定。(虽然末一段谈到私企老板也可自己定价,但他能随意定价而不受整个社会供求关系的大环境影响吗?!)

53.【答案】 A

【解析】此题比较简单,综合全文,尤其是末段,可知A私有财产和相关权利是私企的特点(注意:私产和相关权利包括了[B]、[C]、[D])。

54. 【答案】 C

【解析】中心思想题把每段首句串起来,其实,仅看首句即可找出主题:美国经济体系的运作。

美国经济体制基本上是在私有企业、以市场为导向的经济基础上建立起来的。在这种体制下消费者在很大程度上决定应该生产什么产品和提供何种服务:他们使用在市场上花钱购

买他们最想要的产品和服务这种方式来行使自己的这种权力。为了获取利润,私营业主们在与他人竞争中生产产品,提供服务。在竞争的压力下,追求利润的动机在很大程度上决定生产商品和提供服务的方式。因此,在美国经济体制中,个体消费者的需求,加上生产厂商想最大程度赚钱的欲望以及消费者个人想最大限度提高他们手中货币购买力的愿望三者共同决定着应该生产什么和如何利用资源来生产这些产品。

市场导向型经济中的一个重要因素是它有一种机制,这种机制能让消费者表达出自己的要求同时也让生产者对此做出反应。在美国经济中,这一机制是由价格体制体现的,价格体制是价格随消费者的相对需求与生产者的供应情况而上下浮动的一个过程。如果供不应求,

价格就上升,有些消费者就会被排挤出市场。另一方面,如果某种产品大量生产导致成本下降,产销者提供的产品就会增加,反过来这就会使价格下跌,那么,更多的消费者就可以购买该产品了。因此,价格是美国经济体制中的调节机制。

私有企业经济的一个重要因素是允许个人拥有生产资料(也就是他们可以拥有的私有财产),并允许他们雇用劳动力,控制自然资源,通过生产产品、提供服务来获取利润。在美国经济中,私有财产的概念不仅包括生产资料的所有权,也包括其他的一些权利,比如,产品价格的决定权或与其他私有个体的自由签约权。

51.第1段第7行,“the desire of individuals to maximize their incomes”指的是

[A]美国人从来没有对自己的收入感到满意

[B]美国人往往夸大他们的收入

[C]美国人想增加收入

[D]美国人想增加他们货币的购买力

52.第二段的前两句说明:

[A]生产者能够通过机械化生产满足消费者需求

[B]消费者能够向生产者传达他们的需求

[C]生产者决定产品的价格

[D]供求调节价格

53.根据本文,私有企业经济的特点是

[A]私有财产和相关的权利

[B]对劳动力和自然资源的控制

[C]对生产性资源的所有权

[D]自由的合同和价格

54.本文主要是关于

[A]美国的商品是如何生产的

[B]美国的消费者是如何购买商品的

[C]美国的经济体系是如何运作的

[D]美国的商人是如何赚钱的

One hundred and thirteen million Americans card.They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well.More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw or deposit money in scattered locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open.For many of

us, the “cashless society” is not on the horizon—

While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too.Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales.They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom.This information allows

businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving.Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made.At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly.And they also identify preferred customers for promotional https://www.doczj.com/doc/059596687.html,puters are relied on by manufacturers

emphasize now, which to develop for the future, and which to https://www.doczj.com/doc/059596687.html,puters keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.

Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.

55. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to .

[A]withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes

[B] obtain more convenient services than other people do

[C] enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper

[D] cash money wherever he wishes to

56. From the last sentence of the first paragraph we learn that .

[A] in the future all the Americans will use credit cards

[B] credit cards are mainly used in the United State today

[C]nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash

[D] it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before

57. The phrase “ring up sales” (line 2, paragraph 2) most probably means .

[A] make an order of goods

[B] record sales on a cash register

[C] call the sales manager

[D] keep track of the goods in stock

58. What is this passage mainly about?

[A]Approaches to the commercial use of computers.

难句1 They give their owners automatic credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home,across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well。【语法分析】

1.主句结构为and连接的两个并列句:They give their owners automatic credit...and they make many banking services available as well.

2.第一个分句语法较复杂,包含一个复杂地点状语(in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home,across the country, and even abroad)。

【本句难点】第一个分句包含复杂地点状语。

【方法对策】第一个分句的复杂地点状语只是说明信用卡使用范围,第一遍阅读可以省略不读。

【例句精译】信用卡持有者可在商店、饭店、宾馆,在当地、外地甚至国外凭卡赊购货物,同时信用卡还可以使他们得到银行提供的许多服务。

难句2 At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly.

【语法分析】

1.第一句主句结构包含由and连接的两个并列宾语从句(which...and which...),作record的宾语。

2.逗号后面的分词结构用来修饰主句。

【本句难点】主句宾语稍复杂;个别单词理解难度稍大。

【方法对策】仔细分析句子结构即可。

【例句精译】同时这些计算机记录哪些时间段是销售高峰,哪些员工工作效率最高,进而就能对人员分配进行相应的调整。

难句3 Numerous other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.

【语法分析】

1.本句主句结构为:Numerous other commercial enterprises...bring...services to consumers。2.句中逗号之间分隔的两个短句( from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and electric utilities to milk processors)为插入语。

【本句难点】长的插入语干扰正常的阅读。

【方法对策】第一遍阅读,可以忽略两个逗号之间的插入语,直接抓住句子主干。

【例句精译】许多其他商业企业,从剧院到出版社,从煤气、电力公司到牛奶加工厂都通过计算机的使用给消费者提供更好、效率更高的服务。

55.【答案】B

【解析】本文从银行卡谈起,谈到了计算机在商品生产、销售等方面的重大用途。我们都知道,现在用“银联卡”取钱、购物等是很常见的现象,但这篇文章发表于1994年,那时,情况还远非如此!问题:持银行卡的人可以。据文可知,[A]、[D]两选项太绝对,而且文中也未提。至于[C],“持卡人可得到商店店主的更大信任”(比用现金更信任吗?)文中未说。

56. 【答案】C

【解析】问题:从首段末句可知。末句说:For many of us,the “cashless society” is not on the horizon 对我们许多人来说,“无现金社会”不是远在天边,eady here(它已经是个现实了)。由此可知选[C]。[A]说“in the future”,而且是“all Americans”都用。不对![B]说银行卡“mainly used in the US”(主要在美国用,言外之意,其他国家不怎么用),文章未提“mainly”。[D]说银行卡“比过去”更方便了,文章并未对比今昔。

57.【答案】B

【解析】词汇题看上下文。商店里的电子收款机绝不仅仅是记录销售额,还能记录别的,一般来说,收款机除了结账,就是“记录销售额”了。至于[A]清点货物、[D]跟踪库存,不应该是“收款机”的任务。而[C]给经理打电话,就更不沾边了。

58.【答案】B

【解析】中心思想题将每段首句串起,可知不是仅谈银行卡,故[D]错。[C]说“自动化”,文中未提。[A]、[B]对比,我们发现第二段首句即讲了计算机应用给人们带来诸多“conveniences”,故淘汰[A]“计算机商业应用的方法”。

1.3亿美国人的手中至少持有一家银行发行的信用卡。信用卡持有者可在商店、饭店、宾馆,在当地、外地甚至国外凭卡赊购货物,同时信用卡还可以使他们得到银行提供的许多服务。越来越多的信用卡可以自动读取,于是持卡人就可以在不同银行网点存取,不管本地支行是否营业。对于我们很多人来说,“无现金的社会”不是即将来临,而是已经到来。

计算机为消费者提供诸多方便的同时,也给商家带来很多好处。电子收款机能做的远不止记录销售额,它们可进行各种各样的记录,包括谁卖了什么,何时卖的,卖给谁了。这些信息使商家知道哪些商品正在出售,热销程度如何,从而使商家能够跟踪和记录它们的商品清单,然后做出决定是再订货还是把商品退给供应商。同时这些计算机记录哪些时间段是销售高峰,哪些员工工作效率最高,进而就能对人员分配进行相应的调整。此外,他们还能确定理想的顾客群并进行促销活动。出于同样的原因,生产商们也依赖计算机。计算机分析的营销报告能有助于决定目前应重点生产哪些商品,将来开发哪些产品,哪些应停止生产等等。计算机跟踪库存商品、现有原材料情况,甚至生产过程本身。

许多其他商业企业,从剧院到出版社,从煤气、电力公司到牛奶加工厂都通过计算机的使用给消费者提供更好、效率更高的服务。

55.根据本文,信用卡可以让信用卡持有人

[A]想从银行里取多少钱就取多少钱

[B]比其他人获得更方便的服务

[C]得到商店店主的更大信任

[D]无论什么情况都可以兑现现金

56.从第一段最后一句,我们可以了解到

[A]未来所有的美国人都使用信用卡

[B]现在信用卡主要用于美国

[C]现在很多美国人都不付现金

[D]现在使用信用卡比以前更方便了

57.短语“ring up sales”(第二段,第二行)最可能的意思是

[A]清点货物

[B]在收银机上做记录

[C]给销售经理打电话

[D]跟踪库存商品

58.本文主要内容是

[A]计算机商业应用的方法

[B]计算机给商业带来的便利

Exceptional children are different in some significant way from others of the same age.For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.

Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well.While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself.Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development.And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression_r of society—the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.

Education in any society is a mirror of that society.In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself.The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.

“All men are created equal.”We’ve heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for

denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity.That concept implies educational opportunity for all children—the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great.Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not—to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education.In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who cannot profit substantially from regular programs.

59. In paragraph 2, the author cites the example of the leading actor on the stage to show that . [A] the growth of exceptional children has much to do with their family and the society [B]exceptional children are more influenced by their families than normal children are

[C]exceptional children are the key interest of the family and society

[D] the needs of the society weigh much heavier than the needs of the exceptional children 60. The reason that the exceptional children receive so much concern in education is that .

[A] they are expected to be leaders of the society

[B] they might become a burden of the society

[C] they should fully develop their potentials

[D]disabled children deserve special consideration

61. This passage mainly deals with .

[A] the differences of children in their learning capabilities

[B] the definition of exceptional children in modern society

[C] the special educational programs for exceptional children

[D] the necessity of adapting education to exceptional children

62. From this passage we learn that the educational concern for exceptional children .

[A] is now enjoying legal support

[B]disagrees with the tradition of the country

作为回应,学校也在调整课程安排,使授课能够适应特殊儿童,适应那些不能从常规课程中真正获益的儿童的需要。

59. 【答案】A

【解析】本文谈到教育应该兼顾到那些非正常儿童的需求,让所有孩子在教育面前人人平等。我们知道作者举例子是为了说明问题。从第二段作者谈到异常儿童时举舞台主、配角及布景关系例子的上文和下文,可以明显看到,这些例子是为了说明异常儿童的问题也绝不是孤立的,而是要受family和society的影响。故选[A]。[B]不对,异常儿童比正常儿童“更受”家庭影响吗?文中没讲;[C]不对,异常儿童是家庭和社会的“关键”?文中也没有讲;[D]社会需求比异常儿童需求重要得多吗?文中也没有提及。

60. 【答案】C

【解析】异常儿童并没有成为社会负担[B],他们也没有希望当社会领导[A]。纵观全文,尤其首段及第三段,可知我们关心他们的目的是要“full”、“develop”他们的能力。故

选[C]。而[D]项用了disabled children,显然是想与原文exceptional children进行混淆。须知,exceptional children不见得就disable。(异常儿童不一定指残疾儿童,天才儿童也属于异常者)

61.【答案】D

【解析】中心思想题。我们纵观全文可知关心异常儿童并关注他们的教育为本文重点。本文只是谈要在教育方面关心他们,调整课程以适应他们,但并未为他们制订一些具体的“special programs”。

62.【答案】A

【解析】从末段“Recent curt decisions have confirmed the right...”可知,异常儿童的教育已经得到了“legal support”。

全文精译

特殊儿童与其他同龄的正常孩子相比有一些重要的不同之处。要让这些孩子到成年时能发挥出他们的全部潜能,那么对他们的教育必须照顾到他们与正常孩子之间的差别才行。

尽管我们关注的焦点是特殊儿童的需要,但我们不知不觉也在关注着他们的生活环境。虽然舞台上的主角吸引了我们的注意力,但我们也能意识到配角及戏剧布景的重要性。特殊儿童所处的家庭及社会环境常常是他们成长和发展的关键。而正是在公立学校里我们感受到了社会知性的充分体现——传授给下一代的知识、希望和恐惧。

任何社会的教育都是反映该社会的一面镜子。在这面镜子里,我们可以看到力量、弱点、希望、偏见和文化的核心价值。过去30年间公共教育所表现出的对特殊儿童的极大兴趣表明了存在于我们社会中的那种强烈的情感,即所有公民,不论情况特殊与否,都应该得到全面发展其能力的机会。

“人人生来平等”这句话我们已听过无数次,但它对民主社会的教育仍然有着极其重要的含义。尽管这句话被国家创立者用来表示法律面前人人平等,它也被解释为机会面前人人平等。这一概念暗示了所有儿童都有接受教育的机会——每个儿童,不管其本身的能力大小与否,都有权利在学习上最大限度地得到帮助。最近的法庭裁决已再次确定了所有儿童——不论残疾与否——都有接受相适应的教育的权利,并已命令公立学校采取必要的措施来提供这种教育。作为回应,学校也在调整课程安排,使授课能够适应特殊儿童,适应那些不能从常规课程中真正获益的儿童的需要。

59.在第二段中,作者引用舞台上主角的例子是为了说明。

[A]异常儿童的成长同他们生活的家庭和社会有很大关系

[B]与正常儿童相比,异常儿童更容易受家庭的影响

[C]异常儿童是家庭和社会的关键部分

[D]社会需求比异常儿童需求重要得多

60.异常儿童在教育方面受到如此多关注的原因是。

[A]他们希望成为社会的领导者

[B]他们可能会变成社会的负担

[C]他们应该充分发挥自己的潜能

[D]残疾儿童应该得到特殊考虑

61.本文主要涉及。

[A]儿童在学习能力方面的差异

[B]现代社会异常儿童的定义

[C]为异常儿童制定的特殊教育计划

[D]使教育适合异常儿童的必要性

62.从本文我们可以了解到对异常儿童教育方面的关注。

[A]现在得到了法律支持

[B]与国家的传统不一致

[C]被国家的创立者明确地规定了

[D]对法庭的判决有很大的影响

detail how cancer cells arise,”says microbiologist Robert Weinberg,an expert on cancer.“But,” he cautions,“some people may have the idea that once one understands the causes, the cure will rapidly follow.”“Consider Pasteur.He discovered the causes of ma ny kinds of infections, but it was fifty or sixty years before cures were available.”

This year, 50 percent of the 910,000 people who suffer from cancer will survive at least five years.In the year 2000, the National Cancer Institute estimates that figure will be 75 percent.For some skin cancers,

statistics are still discouraging—13 percent for lung cancer, and 2 percent for cancer of the pancreas(胰腺).

With as many as 120 varieties in existence, discovering how cancer works is not easy.The researchers made great progress in the early 1970s, when they discovered that oncogenes, which

, are inactive in normal cells.Anything from cosmic rays to radiation to diet may activate a dormant oncogene, but how remains unknown.If several oncogenes are driven into action, the cell, unable to turn them off, becomes cancerous.

The exact mechanisms involved are still mysterious, but the likelihood that many cancers are in itiated at the level of genes suggests that we will never prevent all cancers.“Changes are a normal part of the evolutionary process,”says oncologist William Hayward.Environmental factors can never be totally eliminated; as Hayward points out,repare a medicine against cosmic rays.”

The prospects for cure,though still distant, are brighter.

“First, we need to understand how the normal cell controls itself.Second, we have to determine whether there are a limited number of genes in cells which are always responsible for at least part of the trouble.If we can understand how cancer works,we can counteract its action.”

63. The example of Pasteur in the passage is used to .

[A]predict that the secret of cancer will be disclosed in a decade

[B]indicate that the prospects for curing cancer are bright

[C] prove that cancer will be cured in fifty to sixty years

[D] warn that there is still a long way to go before cancer can be conquered 64. The author implies that by the year 2000, .

[A]

[B]

[C] the survival statistics will be fairly even among patients with various cancers [D]

[A] that are always in operation in a healthy person

[B] which remain unharmful so long as they are not activated

[C] that can be driven out of normal cells

[D]

66. The word “dormant” in the third paragraph most probably means .

[A] dead

[B]

[C]inactive

[D]potential

UNIT SIX TEXT ONE Maintaining internal E-mail systems has long been the bane of the university information-technology director. Servers are unwieldy and unreliable, and in the past several years, the number of student complaints has grown exponentially as forward-moving providers like YahooMail, Hotmail, and Gmail have increased expectations of what E-mail should offer. The solution for a number of colleges has been to wave the white flag and outsource E-mail hosting to the experts. Microsoft, which owns Hotmail, and Google (Gmail) are the biggest players in the educational E-mail hosting market. Along with the neat-o peripheral gizmos like messaging, calendars, and collaboration tools, the outsourced systems are more stable, have better spam filters, and provide much more storage space than the typical university's in-house system. At the University of Pennsylvania, its old E-mail service gave students 60 megabytes of storage, just 3 percent of the 2 gigabytes Windows Live now provides. In return, Google and Microsoft get almost nothing, at least monetarily and in the short term. Microsoft's Windows Live @ edu and the Google Apps Education Edition are free of charge for schools. Eliminating another source of revenue, the two tech giants stripped their respective services of advertising in an effort to accommodate educators' concerns. Microsoft breaks even on the venture (it does run ads on non-E-mail services like instant messaging), while Google, which makes almost all its money through advertising, runs at a loss. But what money they don't make at the moment will—the companies hope—pay great dividends in the form of lifelong users in the future, says Google's Jeff Kelter. As quickly as they shuffle out of commencement, graduates see their E-mail transition to the traditional ad-based formats of Gmail and Hotmail. And unlike before, when universities couldn't afford to host thousands of alumni, Google and Microsoft can maintain every account indefinitely, retaining customers as long as customers still want them. Not all schools are ready to outsource their tech dirty work, with privacy and security topping the list of concerns. Critics worry that by handing over the responsibility of E-mail hosting, colleges also relinquish the freedom to keep the information safe in the best way they see fit. Even in the corporate world, there is great skepticism of consumer technologies like Google Apps. Yet most university IT managers agree that outsiders would do a better job protecting individual E-mail from viruses and spam than their own small operations, and strong word-of-mouth praise has done wonders to supplement the almost nonexistent marketing budgets for these Microsoft and Google

②自然段定位原则。出题的顺序与行文的顺序是基本一致的,一般每段对应一题。 ★要树立定位意识,每一题、每一选项都要回到原文中某一处定位。 第四,重叠选项,得出答案。(重叠原文=对照原文) 1. 通过题干返回原文:判断四个选项,抓住选项中的关键词,把选项定位到原文的某处比较,重叠选项,选出答案。 2.做题练习要求:要有选一个答案的理由和其余三个不选的理由。 阅读理解解题技巧 1. 词汇题:“搜索代入”法 ①返回原文,找出该词汇出现的地方。 ②确定该词汇的词性。 ③从上下文(词汇的前后几句)中找到与所给词汇具有相同词性的词(如一下子找不到就再往上往下找),代入所给词汇在文章中的位置(将之替换)看语义是否合适。 ④找出选项中与代替词意思相同或相近的选相,即答案。 注意: a.如果该词汇是简单词汇,则其字面意思必然不是正确答案。 b.考研阅读不是考察字认识不认识,而是考察是否能根据上下文作出正确的判断。 c.词汇题的正确答案经常蕴藏在原文该词汇出现的附近。注意不能靠单词词义直接往下推。 d.寻找时要注意同位语、特殊标点(比如分号,分号前后两句话的逻辑关系不是形式上的并列就是语义上的并列,也就是两句话的意思相同,所以可用其中一句话的意思来推测另一句话的意思从而推出所给词汇含义)、定语从句、前后缀,特别要注意寻找时的同性原则。比如:让猜一个名词词组(动词词组)的意思,我们就向上向下搜索名词词组(动词词组)。 ▲隐蔽型词汇题:题干与原文的某句完全重合,只有一两个词被替换掉。隐蔽型词汇题的做法跟词汇题的做法几乎一样,往上往下找。 2. 指代题: ①返回原文,找出出题的指代词。 ②向上搜索,找最近的名词、名词性短语或句子(先从最近点开始找,找不到再找次近的,一般答案不会离得太远)。 ③将找到的词、词组或句子的意思代入替换该指代词,看其意思是否通顺。

考研英语阅读超精读法

超精读——全面提升英语阅读能力 作者:丁晓钟来源:点点英语 经常有同学问我:有没有什么捷径能够顺利地通过四六级、考研或者其它英语考试? 我的回答总是:没有。但是,帮助同学们找到一套科学的学习方法,不仅可以提高英语能力,而且对考试也有切实的帮助,是我一直所追求的。在国内这样的非母语学习环境里,如何在英语学习上少走弯路,最为行之有效和直接的提高英语水平的办法就是大量阅读,并作精细阅读,这样才能带动“听说写译”等其它能力的突破。结合我个人的学习体会,并经过长时间的思考和教学中的摸索,我总结出了一套以阅读为突破口,提高英语综合能力和突破四六级和考研等等英语考试的“超精读”方法,希望能对同学们有所帮助。 对大部分中国学生来说,欠缺的不是泛读,而是精读。总的来说,同学们在超精读文章的时候要对文章和考点、干扰项等进行详细的分析、总结。这时要仔细体会文章中精彩的语言,注意词语的内涵、使用、扩展和搭配,代词和名词的指代,对精彩句型的模仿,以及对重要语法现象、长句、难句、文章结构的分析。另外,还要注意分析句子和句子之间的关系,是因果、递近、转折还是什么?尤其要注意文章的第一句和最后一句,以及每段的第一句和最后一句与其它句子的关系,体会每句话在文章中的作用。在阅读过程中,要培养自己对文章主要讨论对象、关键词,作者和专家的观点,以及语气的把握。特别注意作者和专家的观点,专家和专家之间的观点是否相同或相反或互补,以及作者和专家的语气是赞成还是反对,是关注还是乐观等等。如果是真题,还要仔细分析考点和正确、干扰选项的规律、特征。在此过程中,可把文章尽可能的多读几遍,甚至翻译一下,提高对文章中单词、短语、句型等的反应速度,阅读速度自然也就提高了。 如果能做到上面几点,那么你才能说真正地理解了文章,阅读理解能力以及综合英语能力都会得到很大的提高,其结果是对考试中的每个题型的把握都会更上一层楼。先从听力说起,据研究,一个人的阅读理解能力和听力水平是成正比关系的。试想,有的同学连听力原文都看不懂,怎么可能听懂呢。另外,在超精读的过程中,所积累的词汇能力,对词汇题也有很大帮助,我曾做过统计,如果对10套左右的四六级、考研阅读真题中的词汇进行过深入学习,大纲中的重点词汇就已经囊括大半。最好的词汇记忆方法是通过阅读来学习,可以记得又牢又准确。对翻译、完形、改错、简短回答问题等小题型,你就会觉得得心应手,因为你对这些题型的解题能力和你的阅读、词汇能力最相关。关于作文,许多同学喜欢背模版,其实模版作文千篇一律,很难拿到高分。如果在读英语报刊和真题的过程中,我们有意识地摘抄积累一些精彩地道的词汇和句型,考试时信手拈来,无疑会使评卷老师眼睛为之一亮。实际上,我们所阅读的英语文章就是一篇篇精彩的作文范文。如果我们能在早晨、傍晚朗读或背诵英语报刊文章或真题阅读文章,经常进行翻译练习,耳濡目染接触到的都是地道的英语,坚持下去,我们的听说读写译能力很自然地就会得到提高。 第一步:准备好阅读材料,训练阅读速度,捕捉文章大意。不要查字典、看译文。 在阅读英语报刊(推荐阅读Time, Newsweek, the Economist等)或者真题的时候,第一遍都必须首先注意提高阅读速度。对报刊上的文章,第一遍读的时候不要查字典,记下起止时间,计算单位时间的阅读量。对真题,更加要控制在规定的时间内完成,阅读时就要随时对可能的考点作出标记,最后结合解题技巧来解题。这时的重点放在训练速度,掌握文章大意、结构,以及作者和专家等的观点。 第二步:总结文章中词汇使用的准确性、形象性、多样性和感情色彩及语气,复合词的使用,总结各类重要搭配,对各类重要词汇进行扩展,正确识别代词与抽象名词的指代,并记忆和运用可以在作文中使用的词汇。 1.从文章中词汇使用的准确性、形象性、多样性和感情色彩及语气角度,复合词的使用进行总结。

考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类

考研英语阅读理解精读100篇之经济类 unit1 unit1 Some of the concerns surrounding Turkey’s application to join the European Union, to be voted on by the EU’s Council of Ministers on December 17th, are economic-in particular, the country’s relative poverty. Its GDP per head is less than a third of the average for the 15 pre-2004 members of the EU. But it is not far off that of one of the ten new members which joined on May 1st 2004 (Latvia), and it is much the same as those of two countries, Bulgaria and Romania, which this week concluded accession talks with the EU that could make them full members on January 1st 2007. Furthermore, the country’s recent economic progress has been, according to Donald Johnston, the secretary-general of the OECD, "stunning". GDP in the second quarter of the year was 13.4% higher than a year earlier, a rate of growth that no EU country comes close to matching. Turkey’s inflation rate has just fallen into single figures for the first time since 1972, and this week the country reached agreement with the IMF on a new three-year, $10 billion economic programme that will, according to the IMF’s managing director, Rodrigo Rato, "help Turkey... reduce inflation toward European levels, and enhance the economy’s resilience". Resilience has not historical ly been the country’s economic strong point. As recently as 2001, GDP fell by over 7%. It fell by more than 5% in 1994, and by just under 5% in 1999. Indeed, throughout the 1990s growth oscillated like an electrocardiogram recording a violent heart attack. This irregularity has been one of the main reasons (along with red tape and corruption) why the country has failed dismally to attract much-needed foreign direct investment. Its stock of such investment (as a percentage of GDP) is lower now than it was in the 1980s, and annual inflows have scarcely ever reached $1 billion (whereas Ireland attracted over $25 billion in 2003, as did Brazil in every year from 1998 to 2000). One deterrent to foreign investors is due to disappear on January 1st 2005. On that day, Turkey will take away the right of virtually every one of its citizens to call themselves a millionaire. Six noughts will be removed from the face value of the lira; one unit of the local currency will henceforth be worth what 1m are now-ie, about €0.53 ($0.70). Goods will have to be priced in both the new and old lira for the whole of the year, but foreign bankers and investors can begin to look forward to a time in Turkey when they will no longer have to juggle mentally with indeterminate strings of zeros. 注(1):本文选自Economist;12/18/2004, p115-115, 2/5p; 注(2):本文习题命题模仿2004年真题text 1第1题和第3题(1,3),2001年真题text 1第2题(2),1999年真题text 2第2题(4)和2002年真题text 3第4题(5); 1.What is Turkey’s economic situation now?

2015考研英语阅读理解精读P8—哲学

2015考研英语阅读理解精读P8—哲学 Passage 8 We threaten punishments in order to deter crime.We impose them not only to make the threats credible but also as retribution (justice)for the crimes that were not deterred.Threats and punishments are necessary to deter and deterrence is a sufficient practical justification for them.Although penalties can be unwise,repulsive,or inappropriate,and those punished can be pitiable,in a sense the infliction of legal punishment on a guilty person cannot be unjust.By committing the crime,the criminal volunteered to assume the risk of receiving a legal punishment that he could have avoided by not committing the crime. There remain,however,two moral objections.The penalty may be regarded as always excessive as retribution and always morally degrading.To regard the death penalty as always excessive,one must believe that no crime—no matter how heinous—could possibly justify capital punishment.Such a belief can be neither confirmed nor refuted;it is an article of faith.Alternatively,one may believe that everybody,the murderer no less than the victim,has a natural right to life.The law therefore should not deprive anyone of life. Justice Brennan has insisted that the death penalty is “uncivilized,”“inhuman,”inconsistent with “human dignity”and with “the sanctity of life,”that it “treats members of the human race as nonhumans,as objects to be toyed with and discarded,”that it is “uniquely degrading to human dignity”and “by its very nature,involves a denial of the executed person’s humanity.”Justice Brennan does not say why he thinks execution“uncivilized.”Hitherto most civilizations have had the death penalty,although it has been discarded in Western Europe. By“degrading,”Justice Brennan seems to mean that execution degrades the executed convicts.Yet philosophers have insisted that,when deserved,execution,far from degrading the executed convict,affirms his humanity by affirming his rationality and his responsibility for his actions.They thought that execution,when deserved,is required for the sake of the convict’s https://www.doczj.com/doc/059596687.html,mon sense indicates that it cannot be death—our common fate—that is inhuman.Therefore,Justice Brennan must mean that death degrades when it comes not as a natural or accidental event,but as a deliberate social imposition.The murderer learns through his punishment that his fellow men have found him unworthy of living;that because he has murdered,he is being expelled from the community of the living.This degradation is self-inflicted.By murdering,the murderer has so dehumanized himself that he cannot remain among the living. Execution of those who have committed heinous murders may deter only one murder per year.If it does,it seems quite warranted.It is also the only fitting retribution for murder I can think of. 1.The author’s attitude towards death penalty is____. [A] negative [B] positive [C] impartial [D] ambiguous 2.It is implied that infliction of legal punishment is justified because the offender____. [A] spares no effort in holding himself back from the criminal action
