考研英语试卷

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！1一轮复习要达到什么效果？某小小白发表于1天前小白考研小白小白，一轮复习到底应该达到什么样的效果，因为我看也有同学和我一样觉得一轮复习课后题目都不大会做，知识点也是记不住，就陷入了深深的自我怀疑与自我否定中，然后就是在不相信自己的怀疑态度里复习，更加没效果。一轮复习达到的效果不能一概而论，毕竟大家基础不同，复习效率也不同，自然最后掌握的情况也不一样，但大体上各科的一轮复习要求可以有如下参考：英语单词至少背完一遍，能独立进行长难句分析，也做了一部分真题，至少做到除去近三年真题外，其他年份的真题的4篇阅读都刷过一遍。数学基础知识啃完一遍，争取达到基础题目都会做，明白哪些是基础考点，哪些是重难点题型；了解各科目的知识框架图，每一章有哪些考点，每一个考点有哪些常见题型及答题套路。但是注意一轮复习不需要研究偏题难题也无需开始数学真题。专业课根据大纲要地毯式浏览完一遍，并做了适当的笔记，并做完对应的课后题。政治课本基础看完一遍（暑假左右开始即可），并搭配相应章节题目，做题正确率≥60%就说明掌握的很不错啦。2英语真题每一遍要怎么做？某小小白发表于1天前小白考研想问做英语真题好几遍怎么做？第一遍？第二遍？第三遍的侧重点是什么？还是答案不写在上面，做三遍？对于英语真题，大多数过来人都建议刷3遍左右，但是由于大家基础不同，所以也不用死板教条，我们的原则是求质不求量，尽自己最大能力就行。第一遍仔细刷，不放过一个犄角旮旯。可以以篇为单位做，做完对答案，对照答案解析分析每一个选项，做到每一个选项都在文中找到出处（对在哪、错在哪），逐字逐句翻译，分析出题思路。第二遍可以以篇为单位也可以几篇一起做，主要是对第一遍进行查漏补缺，哪些单词还不记得，哪些长难句还不会分析和翻译，同时继续分析出题思路。第二遍依然错的题目就要格外重视了，这就是你的弱势题型，一定要多总结，避免下次出错。第三遍做起来速度就很快了，主要是查第一二遍的漏，做最后的总结。小白建议大家在做题时把答案写在另外的纸上或者直接把真题复印一式三份，每一遍都用崭新的卷子做，因为没有标记的试卷才能检测出自己是否真正掌握了相关知识点。做真题最重要的是总结出题套路，一篇文章，每一遍的效果肯定大不相同，就如同好的书籍，一定要研读多次，把书读厚再读薄，此即真题反复刷的意义所在。最后，大家要记住留下最近三年的真题作为考前模拟哦~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~

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。

2020年考研英语结束后很多学生在感叹：今年英语试题太难了，考生们纷纷表示考研英语阅读理解难度难出新高度，新题型难度也比往年要大。但是我们客观理性的分析，从历年考研英语结束后考生们的反映来看，每年考生考完英语后都会有相似的反应，那就是每年考生都会觉得自己年份的英语试题难度大。这里面既有考生个人发挥的因素影响，也有眼光局限的问题。由于考生没有经历过多次考研，因此很难真正判断考研英语真题的难度如何。2020考研英语试题难度太大？考研英语国家线变化都有哪些规律？考研英语不管难度如何变化，作文、翻译、完形填空难度基本难度变化不大，其实考生感觉考研难度大的也仅仅是考研英语阅读理解而已，另外新题型很多学生觉得难，但是这部分题对考生分数影响有限，一方面是因为分值比较低，另一方面是因为即使题简单，考生也很少做全对，即使题变难了，考生也可能会做正确三个左右，因此新题型试题难度变化对考生最后成绩影响不大，反而是考研英语阅读理解难度对考生最后成绩影响比较大。因此尽管很多考生都在吐槽2020考研英语太难了，认为考研英语阅读理解难度比较大，比去年考研英语阅读理解难度高，但是客观理性地讲难度也没有高出太多，整体难度没有高出往年多少，只能说难度高了一些，但是并不能说太难，考生复习到位还是能够得出正确答案，考出理想的成绩。既然考研英语难度不是太大，那么考研英语国家线变化都有哪些规律呢？根据自己对考研的研究，认为总体上讲考研英语国家线变化有三个基本规律，一是考研英语国家线如果上涨或者下降，变化幅度大概在1-5分范围以内。从近10年考研英语国家线变化来看，基本上如果考研国家线上升最多也是提高5分。二是考研英语国家线很少连续几年一直提高，考虑到2019年考研英语国家线大部分专业已经提高，因此判断2020考研英语国家线会继续提高的可能性并不是很大，但是很可能会保持在2019年的水平。三是经管类专业和文学专业考研英语国家线一直为各个专业最高，理工科专业考研英语国家线比较低，即使上升也是在0分多一点，对于理工科学生难度不大，农学这些冷门专业考研英语国家线最低，考生压力最小。

考研英语作为考研过程中最重要的部分，已经被很多人视为“头号大敌”。大部分考生在考研英语的备考前期就已经做了很多真题了。到了最后的冲刺阶段，大家都会花大量时间和精力去做模拟试卷。小编要说的是，模拟试题和一些预测题看起来也是不错的选择，但是如果把过多的时间用在模拟题上面，难免会事倍功半。而且考生也会因为模拟试题的仿真程度不高，最终导致自己的做题思路发生偏差。因此，小编建议，即使在最后的复习阶段，也不要大量的做题，尤其是模拟题。否则，很容易陷入题海中不能自拔。事实上，模拟试题仅适合考生积累知识点，扩大阅读量以及练习对时间的把握，如果要作为研习对象就显得有些单薄了。当然，如果你已经做过大量的真题，并且每套真题都做过很多遍，也进行过深入的研究，那么，适当地利用模拟题也是可以的。效率和成效模拟题可以做，但要有目的的做，而不是大量的做。做题的时候应当保证效率，做完之后也要力争有成效。一般水平的考生一周做一套模拟题就足够了。在做题的时候，谨记做题数量要和自己实际的英语水平相当。自我感觉水平较高的考生可以适当加大题量。但是如果到目前为止，你对最基本的大纲词汇和真题还没有吃透，那就完全可以少做甚至不做真题。整理和分析很多考生虽然拿着模拟题在练，但是在实际练习中却没有重视起来。在做模拟题地时候，有些考生对待题目只是停留在一个简单地对答案的程度上。这当然是不够的。既然花了时间，也用了精力做模拟题，就应该最大限度的利用它提升自己，把它彻底的吃透。小编建议，考生至少要把所有做错的题目挑选出来进行分类整理，找出错因，并加以改正。完成错误分析之后，确定该题目主要是哪种类型的，对所有的错题进行归纳总结，寻找最适合自己的做题方式。只有这样才能真正做到有的放矢。总之，在最后的冲刺阶段，考生一定要戒骄戒躁，对自己的英语水平要有一个正确判断，仔细查找薄弱环节，并进行有针对性的复习。

考研英语难吗，有人说难，有人说不难，其实难不难不仅仅取决于个人，更多的还取决于你会不会备考。如有些考生不仅悟出了命题规律，连英语命题素材的出处都了解得很清楚。如果你从来没有思考过这个问题，不妨今天随小编来了解一下。1、英语真题素材出自哪里？没有特别规定，但是，命题组的老师们都知道，可用材料均选自英美主流杂志或书籍。在选择标准上，大家的共识是，不用文学类材料，比如小说、戏剧、文学散文等，也不使用专业性特别强的材料，因为使用专业性过强的材料对非该专业的学生不够公平。此外，命题材料所涉及的话题也格外注意，比如，谈论宗教、种族、政治的文字一般不用。就整体而言，考研英语较多采用经济、教育、文化等公共话题的篇章。并且，老师们选材时，经常以所选文章能否找得出"题眼"而做取舍，比如，选择阅读理解的篇章时，文字的表述要有曲折，才好设置题目。当然，文章中若有"超纲"词，或过于专业的术语，命题老师会将其替换掉或做适当解释，以便考生顺利阅读。2、考研英语素材哪些最靠谱？绝大多数都来源于英美主流报刊杂志，比如TheEconomist(《经济学人》)、BloombergBusinessWeek(《商业周刊》)、Nature(《自然杂志》)、TheWallStreetJournal(《华尔街邮报》、TheNewYorkTimes(《纽约时报》)等。偶尔也会在一些书籍中寻找合适的文字做考试素材，比如，有些做翻译题目的篇章选自相关的英文专著，但不多，并且会对其中的个别术语和专业概念做细致处理，保证考试的公平。因此，考研备考中重要的就是研读，因为语篇永远都在变化，但命题思路和题目设置是稳定的。这也是考研命题的整体思路。3、是否会从英美报纸上选择命题材料?一般不会。因为报纸上发表的文章通常面向大众读者，文字表述浅显易懂，不适于出题，并且报纸文章通常强调时事性，由于考生关注时事的程度不同，以此类内容做考题或对不同考生有失公允。4、作文的命题有什么规律?考研英语的作文题目通常以一幅图画或一个图表给出。在话题选择上，命题人不会刻意贴近社会热点话题，基本会选择大家相对熟悉的话题，消除因为背景知识不同带来的差异，保证公平。另外，每年考题素材的选择从未预设过主题偏向，所用材料只要来源与内容足够多样并适合一贯命题要求即可。即便是被热炒的《经济学人》杂志，入选篇章的数量也并没有明显高过其他刊物。还在为不知道从何入手考研英语复习而头大吗？还在纠结考研英语考试素材都出自何处吗？这篇文章可以帮你解决很多问题。多读书、多看报、少玩游戏，多关注小编的文章，一定会对你有所帮助的！

上周末，大学生英语四六级考试刚刚结束，关于四六级英语的吐槽不绝于耳，尤其是“四世同堂”的翻译，引起了不少大学生的吐槽，他们纷纷表示自己被虐得体无完肤，已经做好来年再战的心理准备了。相隔仅仅一周的时间，全国研究生考试拉开了帷幕，第一天的考试科目是政治和英语。对于上午的政治这门课，不少考生反映难度适中，基本都是和时政要点相结合，对自己今年的研究生考试充满了信心。不过，下午考研英语还没结束，这门科目的考试就已经登上了各大论坛的热搜。不少考生都对于考研英语的难度吐槽颇多，有一位考生只用了用一句话，就把自己对考研英语的感受完美地总结了一下——“我跟出题者的思路犹如断网，出题者是5G网络，而我只是2G”。还有考生表示，在政治考完以后，感觉自己的院校目标定低了，但在英语考试结束以后，却又感觉自己真的不配进入考场，看到英语试卷上密密麻麻地英语单词，只感觉上面写了八个字——“生死有命，富贵在天”。考研英语试卷中，和大学英语四六级考试类似，最让考生吐槽非翻译题莫属。比如说，英语一考试中，有考生甚至连题目都么看懂，硬生生地靠着“时间”和“日心说”，推算出了其中一个关键的长单词是“文艺复兴”。在英语二的试卷中，有考生说自己至看懂了一个单词“failure”，当时就知道自己的英语要完了，这分明是出卷老师在向我暗示“英语不用考了，最终的结果仍然是失败”。还有考生说看到英语的翻译题以后，自己直接被“感动”哭了。在考研英语上“热搜”以后，有考生表示“它热了，我却真的凉了”。考研热将成为大趋势今年研究生考试的参考人数总人数创下历史新高，达到了341万人，相比去年足足多了51万人，2017年的时候也不过是201万人而已，而且明年恐怕将会突破400万大关。今年高考报名人数超过1000万人，按照往年的本科录取率，最多不会超过500万人。而今年参加考研的人数就有341万人，即便是去掉那些历届生，也足以看出考研热已经是大趋势了。要知道，在这5年的时间里，考研人数几乎是翻了一倍之多。不过，大多数考生的目标却非常集中，基本都是一二线城市的“双一流高校”，比如说北京的14所高校，分别是北京大学、中国人民大学、清华大学、中国科学院大学、北京师范大学等等，每所大学的报考人数都超过了1万人。为什么大学生都热衷于考研？每个人都有自己考研的理由，但基本上可以概括为三种，一是为了提升学历找到一份好工作，二是为了逃避当年激烈的就业竞争，三是为了继续深造研究。不过，根据中国青年报的一份调查统计结果显示，将近七成的大学生考研的理由都属于第一种，在这背后恰恰反映出当前就业竞争究竟有多激烈。不过，当考研成为一种趋势的时候，如果盲目跟随准备考研，且不说最终考试结果如何，有一大批人会在准备考研的开始阶段就放弃了，即便是坚持下来考上了研究生，也要付出非常大的精力和时间成本。除非意志非常坚定考研的大学生，最好还是静下心来好好想想，自己究竟是为什么要考研，这样才能不负韶不负卿。对于那些应开始到图书馆抢座的大学生们，想要翻阅考研英语这座大山并非易事，必须要提前谋划做好复习准备。而在对应于的复习，最关键的就是了解到历年的真题难易如何，并且反复练习真题，这才是最有效的方式，也远远比陷入模拟题的题海战术要省力很多。下面这个历年真题解析丛书，绝对可以祝你一臂之力，有意向的考生可以点击链接购买。

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。

考研英语各位考生在复习的时候需要分析考情，那么今天环球青藤小编就来给大家说一说考研英语试卷结构分析，希望能给各位考生带来帮助，祝愿各位考生都能取得满意的成绩。首先，我们先来看一下考研英语试卷结构。以英语(一)为例：第一部分，完形填空(20*0.5’=10’)第二部分，阅读理解。包括：传统阅读(20*2’=40’)新题型(5*2’=10’)翻译 (5*2’=10’)第三部分，写作。包括：小作文(10’)大作文(20’)针对于这样的试卷安排，考生并不陌生。那么，在各部分，词汇是如何考查考生，而考生又应该如何应对呢?接下来，我们再依次看一下各个部分对于词汇的考察以及备考策略。(一) 完形填空。完形填空可以说是考研整套试卷对于词汇最直接最根本的考查。它主要考查同义词、反义词、形近词的辨析以及单词的搭配和组合能力。我们以05年真题为例，05年考研英语真题完形填空是 关于人类鼻子功能的说明文。其中，70%的考题关于词汇(v.7个 adj.4个 n.1个 prep. 2个) 30%考语法，逻辑关系，固定搭配(逻辑关系4个，固定搭配2个)。由此可见，完全考查词汇的题占到了70%。因此，如果单词没有打好基础，这部分分数也是很难拿到的。我们再来看以一下词汇的具体考法。 1、词汇辨析：包括形近异义词，形异义近词 2、词语搭配(介词与名词、介词与形容词、介词与动词、动词与副词、动词与名词的搭配等) 3、习语(即一些固定的词组)的意义 例如， rare bird (特立独行的人)。(二)阅读理解。考研阅读理解分成三大部分：传统阅读理解，新题型和翻译。对于这三部分的考题，词汇毫无疑问都是基础，换句话说，不认识单词，谈不上做题方法与技巧。但是，考研英语较四六级英语而言，它考查词汇的难度较大，因为其经常考查单词熟词生义。针对这一考点，考生在平时准备单词的时候要格外用心，要把出现的熟词生义总结下来，并且背诵下来。只有自己不断的积累，才能为单词打下夯实的基础。这里就不展开各个题型给考生介绍考查形式了。(写作)写作对单词的考查是最直接，最具体的。它涉及到考生是否能够正确使用单词，包括单词的拼写与用法。这就要求考生在平时准备时就要做到常用写作词汇拼写无误，词汇丰富。对于词的要求为词汇的准确性和多样性。准确性包括(1)拼写正确(2)用法正确Eg. (1) I’ll send you home first on my way to station. (正确的用法为take)(2) That corrupted official is famous for his lust. (正确的用法为notorious)多样性包括在选择上不要选择过于简单乏味的单词，相反，要选择一些词义相同，表达方式不同的词语。例如，英文写作中一定会写到“因为”，考生就可以用到一下表达方式。Eg. because, e to, thanks to ,on account of, considering that, seeing that, in that, now that…由此可见，词汇渗透在考研英语的各个题型中，考生只有对词汇做好全面的复习，打好基础，到了复习的冲刺阶段，才不会产生障碍。考研英语试卷结构分析小编就说到这里了，更多关于考研考试的报名入口，报名时间，考研成绩查询，报名费用，准考证打印入口及时间等问题，小编会及时更新。希望各位考生都能进入自己的理想院校。希望大家能认真做题，提高应试能力。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. (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.

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.

Nevertheless, the boy in the right picture is sitting in front of the desk and saying that he will not finish the homework until the last minute.Undoubtedly, the symbolic implication of the pictures is to show us that importance should be attached to the formation of good habits, especially the good habit of time management.
