都说考研英语的真题要多做几遍多研究,那这几遍到底应该怎么做呢?怎么研究真题才能让它利用率达到最大呢?小编在本文总结了一下英语真题到底应该怎么做、做几遍,希望给大家带来帮助。一、按考试模式练习在掌握考研英语基础知识后,要尽快开始考研英语真题复习。第一遍的时候就要严格按照考试时间,并且创造一个最贴近考试的环境来完成真题。试题每一部分都要认真做好,包括作文部分也要认真书写。做完真题后考生可对照参考答案,对自己的做题效果做一个简单的自我评估,并仔细对照。正确了解自身的英语实力,在此基础上,着手准备相对应的复习计划。二、翻译真题并整理长难句做完题目之后要对原文进行翻译,翻译时无需逐字逐句,但要将“解题域”部分的长难句准确无误地翻译出来。通过这个过程纠正自己的翻译思维,提高翻译能力。如果翻译的不正确,别气馁,努力找出原因并加以改正。如果是单词中的“一词多义”造成的翻译障碍,词典可以帮助同学们。如果这个句子是长难句,我们更需要花大量的时间来理解,找出各个句子成分,并掌握句式原理。提醒大家,真题中的经典长难句要尽量整理到笔记本中,便于作为后期的写作素材。三、分析错误选项做完题目并正确修正以后,要分析出题人为什么设置某些错误选项,这些错误的选项是否有可辨别的特征。我们可以把自己放到出题人的角度来对待错误选项,如果单纯的从考生的角度思考错误选择项,很可能会百思不得其解,而在把握原文的基础之上把自己看成出题人情况就会很不同。这是提高考试能力的一个很重要的方法,经过一系列的训练能从出题人的思路把握选择项的时候,就是我们真正的知彼知己,拿下考研英语的时候。四、再次模拟真题最后再像第一遍那样去做历年真题,总结出题技巧以及自己的应对策略。这一遍做题目的是再次深化贴近出题人思维方式,争取达到自己看到一篇文章时,看题目之前就大致知道会出哪方面的题。应试策略和前面几遍的分析是分不开的,做好前四遍的复习,第五遍你定会有惊喜发现。真题往往需要考生们反复分析,且每次都有不同的方法和重点。掌握正确复习方法考生才能循序渐进不断进步,直到将真题吃透。大家做的过程中,注意使用铅笔去图画,尽量少留点痕迹在卷面上,或者也可以把你的真题试卷拆分下来,拿到打印店进行复印,特别是一些网上打印店,价格通常比线下的便宜很多。
之前有学弟学妹问我,英语基础薄弱的应该买哪些考研英语辅导书?这其实一直都是,基础薄弱的小伙伴的大问题。选的资料不适合自己的话,里面的解析都看不明白。根据学姐我上岸的经验,我诚心推荐基础薄弱的学弟学妹们,考研英语真题《考研真相》英一《考研圣经》英二!这本书可以说是基础薄弱的考生的救星啊!!品品这些评价,我学弟学妹都说当时听了我的建议,买了这本书,认真做了真题,英语才能顺利过线。《考研真相》这本大家真的要好好研读,不论是它里面的词、句都有详细分析和注释,每一句话都单独挑出来图示分析,特别详细,真不用怕看不懂解析。用这一本真题书就行了!跟着真题的详细翻译,思路解析去做题,补基础!基础薄弱的同学,认准《考研真相》就好啦~认认真真补基础、顺顺利利拿高分。
考研英语一试题种类很多,目前市面上卖的很火的就是《考研真相》和黄皮书了,但是这两者还是有很大的差距的。下问是两者详细的对比,希望对大家有所帮助。一、《考研真相》和黄皮书共同优点现在要说的是这两本书的共同的优点,也是这些优点的存在让它们的销量翻倍,好评如潮。这两本书都是分层装订得,这样子很方便大家携带。同时,它们还采用了双色印刷,纸质非常好,让人感觉很喜欢用。都有英汉对照,英文居左,汉语居右,很方便对照查阅,还可以拿来练习翻译。此外,他们的翻译给出了试题的来源,英汉对照式的原文和译文。写作的话都给出了不同梯度的作文模板。二、《考研真相》和黄皮书的不同点要说他们的不同点简直太多了,先说最重要的一点吧!适用人群是有区别的,《考研真相》的适用人群是基础不好的人,而黄皮书则截然相反。下面具体说说两者的不同吧!1.文章讲解详略由于使用人群的不同,这两本书的粗略程度也是有着天壤之别的。《考研真相》里面的讲解很详细,很适合打基础。词汇注释和句子解析详细到每句话都拿出来讲,完全可以不用单词书和语法书。而黄皮书的话词汇注解相对简单,考生复习还得查阅字典等工具书,句子解析更是粗略,只对长难句进行了讲解,基础不好的人肯定不能很好的理顺文章,那么做题肯定答不对。2.答案解析详略《考研真相》和黄皮书的答案解析也是有很大的差距的。《考研真相》的答案解析讲解很详细,比如说它的阅读答案解析,从中可以学会用“回文法”和“排除法”进行做题。黄皮书中的答案一段落为单位,再每个段落之后安排了相应的考题,这样子割裂了文章的连贯性,不利于考生进行复习。不过它的文章前面设置有“考题速览”,这个板块还是不错的,可以帮助你整体了解文章。三、到底应该如何选择会更好?现在的考生遇到的难题,大都是单词不认识,语法学不会,从而文章读不懂,更别提做题了,肯定是做不对的。要想解决这些困难,还是要解决基础问题的。话说到这里就很明显了,聪明的人肯定都知道自己该如何选择了。复习基础知识当然是要选择一本讲解比较详细的书,这样子自己才能看得懂,才有信心好好复习。
小白答疑 哈喽,小小白们好久不见,小白答疑回归啦~在这里,我们会从大家的留言中筛选一些典型问题进行详细的解答,帮助大家披荆斩棘,关关难过关关过!Q&A英语真题记住答案了怎么办?发表于1天前小白考研小白,二战准备考英二,但是大家都说要先把英语一的真题做一下,去年考的就是英一,真题做了两三遍 印象都挺深的,怎么办呀?虽然我们一直强调英语真题要反复刷,多次刷,但是要注意哦,我们刷的可不只是答案。刷过一遍之后,对文章大意、正确答案都有印象是不可避免的,大家也不需要担心。因为一般来说,刷真题会经历以下几个阶段:第一阶段:对真题中的每篇文章都有认真去做,并对其中的生僻单词等进行查阅整理,且每天做到有效回顾;对文章中每个句子的句子成分进行分析、拆分以及能对文章进行基础的翻译,理解文章所表达的含义。第二阶段:根据真题解析对每个错题以及题目的错误选项已经进行深入的分析,清楚为什么错,错在哪,并能在一定时间内于原文中找到判断依据。第三阶段:能迅速确认每道题目中每个选项所对应的原文内容,敏锐地识破选项中的陷阱,且能举一反三,迅速联想到相同或者类似的陷阱存在于哪些题目中;对自身的易错题型有清楚的认知,并能进行针对性的训练。第四阶段:能对任意抽取的文章进行准确流畅的翻译,可以站在出题人的角度进行答题,可以流畅使用文章中的各种句式进行独立写作。第五阶段:英语真题根本不足以自己的饕餮胃口,充其量只是学习英语的补充工具,除此之外会广泛涉猎其他英文资料。所以说,真题二刷、三刷甚至更多次重刷的重点可不只是选出正确答案那么简单,而更应该是给出选择这个选项的逻辑理由、把自己的思路向出题人靠拢、以及对自己各项英语能力的培养。即便是记住了点文章大意,也一定要一步一个脚印的重新思考解题过程,慢慢打怪升级,向第五阶段迈进。一般的,大家若是能进行到第三、四阶段已经足以应对考试且拿到不错的分数了,但小白觉得我们学英语不应该只包含应试这种功利性色彩,也该有提高自英语能力的这种诗和远方。那么问题来了,自评一下你到达什么阶段了?若还没有到达高处不胜寒的境界,那还纠结什么新鲜劲,乖乖刷题去吧!fighting!如果大家想了解什么或者有什么问题,都可以留言给我们,小白都会努力回复大家的哟~
考研英语复习资料用什么?其实挺能理解你的感觉的,我是19考研的,去年光挑考研英语复习资料就花了半个多月。现在各种学长学姐名师推荐的资料实在太多了,我当时真的是每一本都很动心,每一本都想买。但想起以前高考买了很多资料,但根本没时间做,都考完了还有很多书放那儿积灰,相当于没打开过。考研英语复习资料买书时我就吸取了教训,不过考完之后统计了一下,还是有几本书没来得及用上。反正结合以上零零总总的经验吧,我总结了选书的两个原则,管你是啥学科、考啥,这俩原则都是可以通用的。讲完原则再给你放我的考研英语复习资料。原则1:不要贪多,同一类型的书不要买两本同一类型的书,里面的东西都差不多。比如两本考研英语单词书,里面收录的不都是大纲词汇?它敢给你加一个减一个?编书的人不会给自己找事的。最多只能在排版、花色上做做文章。再比如两本数学真题,那可都是考过的题啊,肯定是完全一样的。做题思路也是差不多的。除非你想做两遍题,而且做第二遍时,不希望有第一遍做的答案在旁边干扰。原则2:要选择适合自己水平的书有的书讲基础,有的书讲拔高,虽然内容不同,但你能说哪本书不好吗?只是针对的人不一样而已。基础好的考研党,如果拿到了补基础的书,一定会嫌它鸡肋;基础不好的考研党,看到了拔高的书,一定会吐槽不知道这本书在说什么,然后将它丢到一边。选择适合的书就像选择趁手的兵器,刀枪剑都能上战场,就看你哪把用着顺手。把我的书单放出来,你可以参考下,都是选的知名度高的,可以直接copy。一、政治1、视频:徐涛(配套:核心考案)2、日常练习:《命题人精讲精练》《命题人1000题》3、考前背诵:《风中劲草》4、考前押题:肖四、肖八、徐涛小黄书(考前必背20题)【复习要点】1、不要相信政治可以九月十月再开始的鬼话,暑假就可以开始听视频做练习了。知识点都理解后,九月十月背题也轻松些,有脉络。2、视频一定得看,书上基本上是纯概念,听视频还能给你举例子。而且政治很枯燥,你自己看书不一定看得下去。3、暑假练习时把《1000题》和《精讲精练》做完就行了,政治不用追求做题多。但是你错的那些小题知识点一定要背过。4、九月十月可以背《风中劲草》。5、我很喜欢徐涛的课,所以大题按他的小黄书背的,小题背的肖四肖八。但你也不要啥都不复习,就等着最后押题呢。自己还是要有点儿真本事的。二、英语1、单词:闪过英语《考研词汇闪过》2、真题:《考研真相》(英一)【复习要点】1、单词和真题是必备的,最多再加个模拟题,没必要去买那种单项题型大全。除非你大二或者大三上学期就开始复习,还没到复习真题的时候,可以拿单独的题型练练手。或者你直接拿它替代模拟题,但千万别忘了,真题才是最重要的。2、单词书随便买,正要是正规出版社的都可以,但一定要买书,不要用手机背,你自制力真的没你想的那么强大。3、这本真题书还是相当推荐的,尤其是对基础弱的人。《考研真相》也是个老牌子,关键还是有针对性,我底子差,就很容易被它“逐词逐句讲解”的特点吸引。客观评论下,逐句是真的,每个句子都有一丝和语法讲解,长难句还有图解,确实是我目前能找到的答案最详细的资料了。当然,也有缺点,没有像黄皮书那样,把作者的解题思路剖析得很明确。但对我这种基础弱的,能啃下这本就已经很不错了。英语二就用《考研圣经》。4、对了,还有作文。作文不一定要买专项训练。一是把历年真题里的范文都过一遍,开头结尾该背的都背下来,会写个框架;二是等到10月份,很多机构会出作文押题,背一些素材,能让你往框架里填内容。这两点做好了,作文也不是啥大事。关于考研英语复习资料,我选书的经验和自用书单就这么多了,希望能帮到你吧。
在各种考研资料满天飞的时代只有刷真题才是不变的王道那真题到底应该怎么刷???下面小高就带你领略刷考研真题的正确打开方式!1.单词说到单词你可能会说,不就是把不会的生词查出来吗?这有什么好说的。错!!!这里面该说的还真不少。众所周知考研英语阅读占了半壁江山,所以要想成绩高,阅读刷题少不了。遇到不认识的词,第一反应就是查字典然后记到笔记本上,整个流程下来整个人似乎没啥变化,因为词汇记在本子上却没有记在脑子里,有点扎心,小高的建议是DON'T DO THAT!词汇最重要的是活学活用,所以遇到不认识的词查完字典后尽量用这个词造句,并且考研阅读容易考同意替换,顺道就把这个词的各种亲戚比如:同义词、近义词、形近词过一遍,俗话说知己知彼,百战不殆,对待考研单词就要有一种消灭敌人的感觉,并且是要连珠九族的那种,做到这些你就是考研单词的王。2.句法因为考研真题多选自外刊,句子结构比较复杂,理解句子可能比较困难。这时就要召唤语法神龙助你一臂之力,把文章中的句子进行翻译和结构解析,翻译和结构解析是相辅相成的两件事,解析做完后自然也就看懂文章了。那么问题来了,如果语法很差不会分析肿么办?可以去看一些长难句解析的免费课程,比如我们高教考试在线课堂的长难句解析,跟着做几遍,自己也就差不多会分析了。分析完翻译完还不算完,做完这些还要 分析句子之间的逻辑关系,即:第一句话是如何引出第二句话。做完这些,就相当于把考研真题吃透一半了。3.篇章做完上面两步的分析后,接下来就是篇章的分析,即每个段落之间的逻辑结构,这个时候可以做一个思维导图,有助于自己对文章更好的理解。4.问题做阅读理解当然是回归问题了,所以此时的你就要将问题回归到原文,即在哪分地方问的问题,考察的是什么能力,如果是同意替换就是词汇问题等等,将问题进行总结分析。一篇文章下来走完这四步可能有点耗时,但绝对收获满满,英语学习最忌讳的就是快,盲目的刷十套题,不如仔细刷好一套题,快快试一下吧!
我考的哈工大,没错,就是比较冷的东北那旮沓,虽然地方比较冷,但是挡不住学校好啊,当时我爸妈强烈反对我报成都和东北的学校,一个地震一个冷,但是我一咬牙就报了哈工大。有不少复习考研的学弟学妹们微信问我关于英语复习的一系列的问题,今天勤快给整理了下,希望能资源共享,帮到大家。PS:我考的英语一,考了80,学长文学水平有限,大家不要尴尬。词汇词汇复习的要点是方法、规划和坚持。首先,单词要有科学的记忆方法,好的记忆方法能起到事半功倍的效果。拿我用的《考研词汇闪过》来说,书里把考研所有的大纲词汇按照考频分类,就是在历年真题中出现的次数,重点清晰,背起来就很省时间。而且书里的联想记忆法、谐音记忆法等方法还是挺有趣的。其次是制定单词计划,你可以将你的单词书分为若干单元(不超过30个),早上一个小时内背一个单元,一本单词书20-30天内背一遍,然后循环着背。单词当天该完成的一定要完成,不要超时,背不完的就念完。把单词放在句子里记的记忆效果很好,我把800句分25个单元,一天一个单元,坚持下来,32天就把单词记完了一遍(句子没有背诵,只是熟读)。另外,到考研复习的中后期,单词的背诵就要区分出来重点和非重点了。因为复习时间还是有限的,非重点的单词出现的频率比较低,占的比重还比较大,花那么多时间背有点不划算。中后期我就只背了会高频出现的单词,抓重点。真题1.详解真题真题是我们复习考研的唯一资料,所以仔细研究真题是必须的(大家都懂)。基础比较差的我更要敲黑板了,研究真题是巩固英语基础的重要途径!结合下我用的《考研真相》来说说具体的复习方法。在研究真题之前可以先自测一下自己的英语水平。我用的《考研真相》书版,第一遍就做那个真题册,先摸清自己的优势和劣势分别在哪些题型上,因为和讲解的册子是分开的,用起来比较方便。我先用铅笔写,后面可以用橡皮擦掉再用。然后就要仔细研究真题了。《考研真相》有本逐句解析真题的册子,书里对真题文章的每一句都进行了详细讲解,包括重点词汇和语法结构,新版的这一块做成图解了,看起来就更清楚了。我们研究真题文章的详细程度可参考这本书,总结起来就是一个字:细。真题的研究要细到每一句,每一句的单词、语法什么的都要搞清楚。一遍研究下来,我们的英语基础会上升到一个新的level。《考研真相》还有本逐题解析真题的册子,这个册子我主要用来研究解题技巧。我们在研究真题的解题技巧时,不只是要仔细推敲下每一题的解题技巧,对每一道真题的各个选项的正误原因也要仔细分析,通过分析每道真题来揣摩命题人的命题思路。2.后期刷题除了详解真题外,我们在考研复习的后期是要集中刷题的。刷题的目的在于自我检测学习的成果,查漏补缺。所以刷题时要严格遵循考试时间(14:00—17:00),选择最贴近考试环境的地方(比如极其安静的教室)来进行自我测试,按照自己熟悉的顺序和方法做题,如遇特殊情况,可适当调整。每个版块所用时间尽量遵循平日复习的时间安排,如遇疑难问题,自己一时无法解答,切忌在此花费过多时间,应果断舍弃,直接切入下一题。大家最好用独立成册的真题资料进行模拟,我用的《真题汇编王》(38年真题)就是个真题汇编册,各年试题独立成册,所以这样的试题册模拟的时候比较方便。做完试题后,看着全文翻译,对照答案和解析,可进行查漏补缺。写作有人认为考研作文就是背背背,当然作文肯定是要背的,背作文也是重头戏,但其实作文也需要系统地复习,这样才能取得最好的复习效果。1.学习写作文写作文是一个循序渐进的过程,在开背之前,我们先学习下怎么写作文是很有必要的。比如我用的《写作160篇》提到的“词→句→段→篇”的写作方法,从写作的核心词汇到一个句子再到一个段落,最后到一整篇作文成型,这个过程是需要我们仔细研究的内容。拿写作文要用到的核心词汇来说下,考研英语的写作和考研阅读还不一样,就是不要求很专业很难的词汇,需要背一些各种类型的作文常用的核心单词。像《写作160篇》中的核心词汇也不多,我背起来完全没有什么压力,所以大家在在学习写作文时不要有畏难情绪。2.作文真题的利用真题作文除了有背诵的价值,重点是拿来研究,和自己的作文对比下有哪些差距,边学习边改进提升。向真题学习的过程就是“丑小鸭”变成“白天鹅”的蜕变,我用《写作160篇》中的“三步作文法”把我的作文从“经典模板范文”提升到“思路创新范文”再提高到第三等级的“语言创新范文”,过程很扎心但结果很圆满,提笔无话可说的尴尬终于一去不复返了。3.预测范文的背诵谁还没背过N篇的预测作文,我背诵的主力就是预测范文,基本上把《写作160篇》的40篇范文快背完了,据说命中率极高。虽然是抱着一丝丝的侥幸心理,但作文背得多总没有坏处,所以大家挑选一些重点话题的预测作文开背吧,这一点没别的招儿。话说我还翻了一遍书里90篇的热点话题作文,虽然没有背,但视野扩大了不少。所以同学们要多读多看多积累,这样遇到什么话题都不怵。在这里我特别提醒一下英语基础差的同学,考研英语的复习是有章法可循的,决定了考研,就想办法去克服这些困难,“差不多先生”的做派在考研复习中是不可取的。好了,先写到这里,大家加油!
21考研怎么准备?考研英语真题怎么去做呢?1.精读文章,我前期做英语阅读,利用英一《考研真相》边做题就边把自己不会的单词、句子都勾画下来。然后再去看解析,简单会的句子就跳过,不会的都挑出来去学着解析里面怎么拆分,怎么分辨修饰结构。然后如果有错的很多的文章,就挑出来精翻一遍,这样也能加深一些语法翻译的知识点印象。真题:英语一《考研真相》/英语二《考研圣经》,每句话都图解,基础差不用担心看不懂,还有排除干扰项的方法,做阅读题通用,适合基础薄弱大幅提分用。别的书个别句子讲解,基础差看不懂。解题方法是根据答案套选项,下次还是不会。-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2.熟悉做题思路,通常做一道阅读题,我的做题思路就是:先看五个问题→粗读文章,找出问题的位置→细读文章,圈出不认识的单词/语法→再看问题,回文定位,选择答案。刚开始做题,肯定是有很多单词、句子看不懂。你一定要硬着头皮看完全篇!遇到不会的划线,能理解多少就理解多少,一定要让自己习惯这个做题过程。3.分阶段练习,一定要总结错题。考研英语真题的刷题,是分阶段练习的。所以每个阶段一定要把自己的错题总结在本子上,后面再带上错误原因。错题本是要越做越薄,不要越做越厚。容易错误的点,一定要注意!

(40 points)Text 1A group of labour MPs, among them Yvette Cooper, are bringing in the new year with a call to institute a UK "town of culture" award. The proposal is that it should sit alongside the existing city of culture title, which was held by Hull in 2017 and has been awarded to Coventry for Zozl. Cooper and her colleagues argue that the success of the crown for Hull, where it brought in220m of investment and an avalache of arts, out not to be confined to cities.Britain' town, it is true are not prevented from applying, but they generally lack the resources to put together a bit to beat their bigger competitions. A town of culture award could, it is argued, become an annual event, attracting funding and creating jobs.Some might see the proposal as a boo by prize for the fact that Britain is no longer be able to apply for the much more prestigious title of European capital of culture, a sought-after award bagged by Glasgow in 1990 and Livorpool in 2008. "A cynic might speculate that the UK is on the verge of disappearing into an endless fever of self-celebration in its desperation to reinvent itself for the post-Brexit world: after town of culture, who knows that will follow-village of culture? Suburb of culture? Hamlet of culture?It is also wise to recall that such titles are not a cure-all. A badly run "year of culture"washes in and out of a place like the tide, bringing prominence for a spell but leaving no lasting benefits to the community. The really successful holders of such titles are those that do a great deal more than fill hotel bedrooms and bring in high-profile arts events and good press for a year. They transform the aspirations of the people who live there; they nudge the self-image of the city into a bolder and more optimistic light.It is hard to get right, and requires a remarkable degree of vision, as well as cooperation between city authorities, the private sector, community groups and cultural organisations. But it can be done: Glasgow's year as European capital of culture can certainly be seen as one of complex series of factors that have turned the city into the power of art, music and theatre that it remains today.A "town of culture" could be not just about the arts but about honouring a town's peculiarities-helping sustain its high street, supporting local facilities and above all celebrating its people and turn it into action.21. Cooper and her colleagues argue that a "town of culture" award could [A] consolidate the town-city ties in Britain.[B] promote cooperation among Britain's towns.[C] increase the economic strength of Britain's towns.[D] focus Britain's limited resources on cultural events.22. According to Paragraph 2, the proposal might be regarded by some as [A] a sensible compromise.[B] a self-deceiving attempt.[C] an eye-cotching bonus.[D] an inaccessible target.23. The author suggests that a title holder is successful only if it [A] endeavours to maintain its image.[B] meets the aspirations of its people.[C] brings its local arts to prominence.[D] commits to its long-term growth.24. Glasgow is mentioned in Paragraph 3 to present [A] a contrasting case.[B] a supporting example.[C]a background story.[D] a related topic.25. What is the author's attitude towards the proposal?[A] Skeptical[B] Objective[C] Favourable[D] Critical答案(21-25)21.D focus Britain's limited resources on cultural events.22.B a self-deceiving attempt.23.D commits to its long-term growth.24.B a supporting example.25.C Favourable.Text2Scientific publishing has long been a licence to print money, Scientists need journals in which to publish their research, so they will supply the articles without monetary reward. Other scientists perform the specialised work of peer review also for free, because it is a central element in the acquisition of status and the proction of scientific knowledge.With the content of papers secured for free, the publisher needs only find a market for its journal. Until this century, university libraries were not very price sensitive. Scientific publishers routinely report profit margins approaching 40% on their operations, at a time when the rest of the publishing instry is in an existential crisis.The Dutch giant Elsevier, which claims to publish 25% of the scientific papers proced in the world, made profits of more than f 900m last year, while UK universities alone spent more than f 210m in 2016 to enable researchers to access their own publicly funded research;both figures seem to rise unstoppably despite increasingly desperate efforts to change them.The most drastic, and thoroughly illegal, reaction has been the emergence of Sci-Hub, a kind of global photocopier for scientific papers, set up in 2012, which now claims to offer access to every pay walled article published since 2015. The success of Sci-Hub, which relies on researchers passing on copies they have themselves legally accessed, shows the legal ecosystem has lost legitimacy among its users and must be transformed so that it works for all participants.In Britain the move towards open access publishing has been driven by funding bodies.In some ways it has been very successful. More than half of all British scientific research is now published under open access terms; either freely available from the moment of publication,or pay walled for a year or more so that the publishers can make a profit before being placed on general release.Yet the new system has not worked out any cheaper for the universities. Publishers have responded to the demand that they make their proct free to readers by charging their writers fees to cover the costs of preparing an article. These range from around500 to $5,000.A report last year pointed out that the costs both of subscriptions and of these "article preparation costs" had been steadily rising at a rate above inflation.In some ways the scientific publishing model resembles the economy of the social internet:labour is provided free in exchange for the hope of status, while huge profits are made by a few big firms who run the market places. In both cases, we need a rebalancing of power.26. Scientific publishing is seen as "a licence to print money" partly because [A] its funding has enjoyed a steady increase.[B] its marketing strategy has been successful.[C] its payment for peer review is reced.[D] its content acquisition costs nothing.!27. According to Paragraphs 2 and 3, scientific publishers Elsevier have [A] thrived mainly on university libraries.[B] gone through an existential crisis.[C] revived the publishing instry.[D] financed researchers generously.28.

But all too often such policies are an insincere form of virtue-signaling that benefits only the most privileged and does little to help average people.A pair of bills sponsored by Massachusetts state Senator Jason Lewis and House Speaker Pro Tempore Patricia Haddad, to ensure "gender parity" on boards and commissions, provide a case in point.Haddad and Lewis are concerned that more than half the state-government board are lessthan40 percent female. In order to ensure that elite women have more such opportunities, they have proposed imposing government quotas. If the bills become law, state boards and commissions will be required to set aside 50 percent of board seats for women by 2022.The bills are similar to a measure recently adopted in Califomia, which last year became the first state to require gender quotas for private companies. In signing the measure, California Governor Jerry Brown admitted that the law, which expressly classifies people on the basis of sex, is probably unconstitutional.The US Supreme Court frowns on sex based classifications unless they are designed to address an "important" policy interest, Because the California law applies to all boards, even where there is no history of prior discrimination, courts are likely to rule that the law violates the constitutional guarantee of "equal protection".But are such government mandates even necessary? Female participation on corporate boards may not currently mirror the percentage of women in the general population, but so what?The number of women on corporate boards has been steadily increasing without government interference. According to a study by Catalyst, between 2010 and 2015 the share of women on the boards of global corporations increased by 54 percent.Requiring companies to make gender the primary qualification for board membership will inevitably lead to less experienced private sector boards. That is exactly what happened when Norway adopted a nationwide corporate gender quota.Writing in The New Republic, Alice Lee notes that increasing the number of opportunities for board membership without increasing the pool of qualified women to serve on such boards has led to a "golden skirt "phenomenon, where the same elite women scoop up multiple seats on a variety of boards.Next time somebody pushes corporate quotas as a way to promote gender equity,remember that such policies are largely self-serving measures that make their sponsors feelgood but do little to help average women.31.The author believes that the bills sponsored by Lewis and Haddad will [A] help little to rece gender bias.[B] pose a threat to the state government.[C] raise women's position in politics.[D] greatly broaden career options.32. Which of the following is true of the Califormia measure?[A] It has irritated private business owners.[B] It is welcomed by the Supreme Court.[C] It may go against the Constitution.[D] It will settle the prior controversies.33. The author mentions the study by Catalyst to illustrate [A] the harm from arbitrary board decision. [B]the importance of constitutional guarantees.[C] the pressure on women in global corporations.[D] the needlessness of government interventions.34. Norway's adoption of a nationwide corporate gender quota has led to [A] the underestimation of elite women's role[B] the objection to female participation on boards.[C]the entry of unqualified candidates into the board.[D] the growing tension between labor and management.35. Which of the following can be inferred from the text?[A] Women's need in employment should be considered.[B] Feasibility, should be a prime concern in policy making.[C] Everyone should try hard to promote social justice.[D] Major social issues should be the focus of legislation.答案(31-35)31.A help little to rece gender bias.32.C It may go against the Constitution.33.D the needlessness of government interventions.34.C the entry of unqualified candidates into the board.35.B Feasibility should be a prime concern in policymaking.Text4 :Last Thursday, the French Senate passed a digital services tax, which would impose an entirely new tax on large multinationals that provide digital services to consumers or users in France. Digital services include everything from providing a platform for selling goods and services online to targeting advertising based on user data, and the tax applies to gross revenue from such services. Many French politicians and media outlets have referred to this as a"GAFA tax," meaning that it is designed to apply primarily to companies such as Google,Apple, Facebook and Amazon-in other words, multinational tech companies based in the United States.The digital services tax now awaits the signature of President Emmanuel Macron, who has expressed support for the measure, and it could go into effect within the next few weeks.But it has already sparked significant controversy, with the Unite Sates trade representative opening an investigation into whether the tax discriminates against American companies,which in turn could lead to trade sanctions against France.The French tax is not just a unilateral move by one country in need of revenue. Instead,the digital services tax is part of a much larger trend, with countries over the past few years proposing or putting in place an alphabet soup of new international tax provisions. These have included Britain's DPT (diverted profits tax).Australia's MAAL (multinational antiavoidance, law), and India's SEP (significant economic presence) test, to name but a few. At the same time, the European Union. Spain,Britain and several other countries have all seriously contemplated digital services taxes.These unilateral developments differ in their specifics, but they are all designed to tax multinationals on income and revenue that countries believe they should have a right to tax,even if international tax rules do not grant them that right. In other words, they all share a view that the international tax system has failed to keep up with the current economy.In response to these many unilateral measures, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is currently working with 131 countries to reach aconsensus by the end of 2020 on an international solution. Both France and the United States are involved in the organization's work, but France's digital services tax and the American response raise questions about what the future holds for the international tax system.France's planned tax is a clear warning: Unless a broad consensus can be reached on reforming the international tax system, other nations are likely to follow suit, and American companies will face a cascade of different taxes from dozens of nations that will prove burdensome and costly.36.The French Senate has passed a bill to [A] regulate digital services platforms.[B] protect French companies interests.[C] impose a levy on tech multinationals.[D] curb the influence of advertising.37. It can be learned from Paragraph 2 that the digital services tax [A] may trigger countermeasures against France.[B] is apt to arouse criticism at home and abroad.[C] aims to ease international trade tensions.[D] will prompt the tech giants to quit France.38. The countries adopting the unilateral measures share the opinion that [A] redistribution of tech giants' revenue must be ensured.[B] the current international tax system needs upgrading.[C] tech multinationals' monopoly should be prevented.[D] all countries ought to enjoy equal taxing rights.39. It can be learned from Para 5 that the OECO's current work [A] is being resisted by US companies.[B] needs to be readjusted immediately.[C] is faced with uncertain prospects.[D] needs to in involve more countries.40. Which of the following might be the best title for this text?[A] France Is Confronted with Trade Sanctions[B] France leads the charge on Digital Tax[C] France Says "NO" to Tech Multinationals[D] France Demands a Role in the Digital Economy答案(36-40)36.C impose alevy on tech multinationals.37.A may trigger countermeasures against France.38.B the current international tax system needs upgrading39.C is faced with uncertain prospects.40.B France leads the charge on Digital TaxPart B Directions:In the following text, some sentences have been removed.

(10 points)[A] Eye fix actions are brief[B] Too much eye contact is instinctively felt to be rude[C] Eye contact can be a friendly social signal[D] Personality can affect how a person reacts to eye contact[E] Biological factors behind eye contact are being investigated [F] Most people are not comfortable holding eye contact with strangers[G] Eye contact can also be aggressive.In a social situation, eye contact with another person can show that you are paying attention in a friendly way, But it can also be antagonistic such as when a political candidate turns toward their competitor ring a debate and makes eye contact that signals hostility.Here's what hard science reveals about eye contact: We know that a typical infant will instinctively gaze into its mother's eyes, and she will look back. This mutual gaze is a major part of the attachment between mother and child. In althood, looking someone else in a pleasant way can be a complimentary sign of paying attention. It can catch someone's attention in a crowded room, "Eye contact and smile" can signal availability and confidence, a common-sense notion supported in studies by psychologist Monica Moore.42. Neuroscientist Bonnie Augeung found that the hormone oxytocin increased the amount of eye contact from men toward the interviewer ring a brief interview when the direction of their gaze was recorded. This was also found in high- functioning men with some autistic spectrum symptoms, who may tend to avoid eye contact. Specific brain regions that respond ring direct gaze are being explored by other researches, using advanced methods of brain scanning.43. With the use of eye-tracking technology, Julia Minson of the Harvard Kennedy School of Government concluded that eye contact can signal very different kinds of messages,depending on the situation. While eye contact may be a sign of connection or trust in friendly situations, it's more likely to be associated with dominance or intimidation in adversarial situations. "Whether you' re a politician or a parent, it might be helpful to keep in mind that trying to maintain eye contact may backfire if you' re trying to convince someone who has a different set of beliefs than you," said Minson.44. When we look at a face or a picture, our eyes pause on one spot at a time, often on the eyes or mouth. These pauses typically occur at about three per second, and the eyes then jump to another spot, until several important points in the image. are registered like a series of snapshots. How the whole image is then assembled and perceived is still a mystery although it is the subject of current research.45. In people who score high in a test of neuroticism, a personality dimension associated with self-consciousness and anxiety, eye contact triggered more activity associated with avoidance,according to the Finnish researcher Jari Hietanen and colleagues "Our findings indicate that people do not only feel different when they are the centre of attention but that their brain reactions also differ." A more direct finding is that people who scored high for negative emotions like anxiety looked at others for shorter periods of time and reported more comfortable feelings when others did not look directly at them.答案(41-45)41.

(10points)Following the explosion of creativity in Florence ring the 14h century known as the Renaissance, the modern world saw a departure from what it had once known. It turned from God and the authority of the Roman Catholic Church and instead favoured a more humanistic approach to being. Renaissance ideas had spread throughout Europe well into the 17h century,with the arts and sciences flourishing extraordinarily among those with a more logical disposition. (46) with the Church's teachings and ways of thinking eclipsed by the Renaissance,the gap between the Medieval and modern periods had been bridged leading to new and unexplored itellectual territories.During the Renaissance, the great minds of Nicolaus Copernicus, Johannes Kepler and Galileo Galilei demonstrated the power of scientific study and discovery. (47) Before each of their revelations many thinkers at the time had sustained more ancient ways of thinking.including the geo-centric view that the Earth was a the centre of our universe. Copernicus theorized in 1543 that all of the planets that we knew of revolved not around the Earth, but the Sun, a system that was later upheld by Galileo at his own expense. Offering up such a theory ring a time of high tension between scientific and religious minds was branded as heresy and any such heretics that continued to spread these lies were to be punished by imprisonment or even death.(48) Despite attempts by the Church to suppress. this new generation of logicians and rationalists, more explanations for how the universe functioned were being made at a rate that the people could no longer ignore.It was with these great revelations that a new kind of philosophy founded in reason was born.The Church's long- standing dogma was losing the great battle for truth to rationalists and scientists. This very fact embodied the new ways of thinking that swept through Europe ring most of 17h century. (49) As many took on the ty of trying to integrate reasoning and scientific philosophies into the world, the Renaissance was over and it was time for a new era-the Age of Reason.The 17h and I8h centuries were times of radical change and curiosity, Scientific method,rectionism and the questioning of Church ideals was to be encouraged, as were ideas of liberty, tolerance and progress. (50) Such actions to seek knowledge and to understand what information we already knew were captured by the Latin phrase' sapere aude' or dare to know',after Immanuel Kant used it in his essay" An Answer to the Question: What is Enlightenment?".It was the purpose and responsibility of great minds to go forth and seek out the truth, which they believed to be founded in knowledge.答案(46-50)46.随着教会的教义和思维方式在文艺复兴时期黯然失色,中世纪与现代之间的鸿沟得以弥合,从而出现了新的及尚未开发的知识领域。47.在每个真理揭示之前,当时的许多思想家都采用了更古老的思维方式,仍旧沿用以前的思维模式,其中包括认为地球是宇宙中心的地球中心说。48.尽管教会试图镇压这-代逻辑学家和理性主义者,但人们对宇宙如何运转的解释却越来越多,并且以-种不容忽视的速度在增加。49.当许多人承担起将理性科学的哲学融入世界的责任时,文艺复兴时代已经结束,并且开启了一个新的时代。50.此类寻求知识和了解已知信息的行为被拉丁语概括为:“sapere aude"即"敢于求知”作文Section ll WritingPart A51.
