关注,分享更多法考、考研资料一、原文赏析Well, no gain without pain, they say. But what about pain without gain? Everywhere you go in America, you hear tales of corporate revival. What is harder to establish is whether the proctivity revolution that businessmen assume they are presiding over is for real.The official statistics are mildly discouraging. They show that, if you lump manufacturing and services together, proctivity has grown on average by 1.2% since 1987. That is somewhat faster than the average ring the previous decade. And since 1991, proctivity has increased by about 2% a year, which is more than twice the 1978-1987 average. The trouble is that part of the recent acceleration is e to the usual rebound that occurs at this point in a business cycle, and so is not conclusive evidence of a revival in the underlying trend. There is, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says, a "disjunction" between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in proctivity and the picture reflected by the statistics.Some of this can be easily explained. New ways of organizing the workplace — all that re-engineering and downsizing — are only one contribution to the overall proctivity of an economy, which is driven by many other factors such as joint investment in equipment and machinery, new technology, and investment in ecation and training. Moreover, most of the changes that companies make are intended to keep them profitable, and this need not always mean increasing proctivity: switching to new markets or improving quality can matter just as much.Two other explanations are more speculative. First, some of the business restructuring of recent years may have been ineptly done. Second, even if it was well done, it may have spread much less widely than people suppose.Leonard Schlesinger, a Harvard academic and former chief executive of Au Bong Pain, a rapidly growing chain of bakery cafes, says that much "re-engineering" has been crude. In many cases, he believes, the loss of revenue has been greater than the rections in cost. His colleague, Michael Beer, says that far too many companies have applied re-engineering in a mechanistic fashion, chopping out costs without giving sufficient thought to long-term profitability. BBDO's Al Rosenshine is blunter. He dismisses a lot of the work of re-engineering consultants as mere rubbish — "the worst sort of ambulance-chasing".二、译文赏析人们说,不劳就无获。但是,如果有劳却无获又会怎样呢?在美国,无论你走到哪里都会听到企业复苏的故事。商人们自认为的他们所领导的生产力革命是否确有其事,这一点更加难以确定。官方的统计数字却有点不让人乐观。这些数据表明,如果把制造业和服务业合起来算,1987年以来生产力平均增长1.2%。这比前10年的平均增长速度略快。自1991年来,生产力每年约增长2%。这比1978年—1987年的平均增长速度高两倍以上。问题在于,近年发生的生产力快速增长部分是由于商业周期通常到了这时候就会出现的反弹造成的,因而它不是经济复苏已经是潜在趋势的结论性证据。正如财政部长罗伯特鲁宾所说的,生产力发生飞跃的商业传奇与统计数字所反映的情况之间存在着一种“脱节”。这其中的一些原因很容易解释。企业重组的新方法——所有那些重新设计和缩小规模的做法——只是对一个经济的整体生产力做出了一方面的贡献,而这种经济的发展还收到许多其他因素的驱动,如设备、机械上的联合投资,新技术,以及教育和培训上的投资。另外,公司的大部分改革是为了赢利,而达到赢利的目的不一定非要提高生产力:转入新的市场或改善产品质量也会有同样的功效。其他两种解释带有很大的猜测性。一种解释是近年来所进行的公司重组也许并未奏效。另一种则说,即使有所成效,效果也不像人们所设想的那样广泛。哈佛学者,快速增长的面包连锁店Au Bon Pain的前任总裁莱昂纳多施莱辛格说,许多“重组”是粗糙的。他认为很多情况下,企业收益的损失超出了成本的降低。他的同事迈克比尔说,太多的公司已用机械的方式进行重组,在没有充分考虑到长期赢利能力的情况下降低了成本。BBDO的艾尔罗森夏恩更加直率。他把许多重组咨询专家所做的工作视为垃圾——“典型的劳而无获”。三、题目赏析1. According to the author, the American economic situation is ________.[A] not as good as it seems[B] at its turning point[C] much better than it seems[D] near to complete recovery正确答案为: [A] 意为:并不像表面看上去那样好。第一段第三、四句指出,美国到处都在谈论所谓公司的振兴(tales of corporate revival),但是,商界自认为正在进行的所谓生产率革命究竟是否名符其实(for real),这一点却很难确定。该句实际上是全文的主旨,从反面提出了下文旨在回答的问题,所谓生产率革命根本不存在,官方的统计数字也并不怎么乐观;该段第四句指出,问题是;最近显示出的增长部分是由商业领域里此时出现的正常的反弹(rebound)造成的,因此,不能将它看作是更深层的(当指生产率)振兴的证据。由题目能够定位到第一段的这一句:What is harder to establish is whether the proctivity revolution that businessmen assume they are presiding over is for real.其意思是:商人们自认为的他们所领导的生产力革命是否确有其事,这一点更加难以确定。因此可以看出作者觉得美国经济形式并不像商人们说的那样好,因此联系到了A选项。最后一段引用了几个专家的评价,对目前进行的促进生产率发展的措施进行了否定,特别是罗森伯格的评价,在他看来,目前负责调整经济的顾问们所做的工作,多数都是垃圾(没有成效),是典型的“于事无补”(ambulance-chasing)。B意为:处于转折阶段。文章中只是说经济发展并不乐观,但是还没有达到转折的地步,因此该选项属于夸张类干扰项。C意为:比现状要好得多。这个和原文意思恰恰相反,同作者的中心思想相违背。换句话说,这个是作者要批驳的观点。D意为;几乎要实现全面复苏了。此选项同C选项,都是与作者思想相违背的,更何况,复苏这个词根本无从谈起。2. The official statistics on proctivity growth ________.[A] exclude the usual rebound in a business cycle[B] fall short of businessmen's anticipation[C] meet the expectation of business people[D] fail to reflect the true state of economy正确答案为:[B] 意为:与商人的预想不符。或:不像商人预想的那样好。第二段指出,官方的统计数字也并不怎么乐观,如果将制造业和服务业算在一起(lump... together),1989年以来生产率平均增长了1.2%,比前十年的平均指数略有增长;1991年后,生产率每年增长约2%,是1978年至1987年这十年平均指数的一倍多。然而问题是:最近显示出的增长部分是由商业领域里此时出现的正常的反弹造成的,因此,不能将它看作是更深层的(当指生产率)振兴的证据。正如财政部长鲁宾所说的那样,一方面,大量的商业神话似乎表明生产率的激增(leap),另一方面,(官方的)统计数字又是另一番景象,二者之间存在着一个“差距”(disjunction)。定位到第二段的这几句:There is, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says, a "disjunction" between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in proctivity and the picture reflected by the statistics.其意思是:正如财政部长罗伯特鲁宾所说的,生产力发生飞跃的商业传奇与统计数字所反映的情况之间存在着一种“脱节”。商业传奇即是说大量的商业神话似乎表明生产率的激增(leap)。因此,可以得出结论,经济发展的实际情况和商人们所塑造的神话有脱节,即联系到了B选项。A意为:排除了商业领域里出现的正常的反弹。此选项定位到了原文第二段中的The trouble is that part of the recent acceleration is e to the usual rebound that occurs at this point in a business cycle,意思是:近年发生的生产力快速增长部分是由于商业周期通常到了这时候就会出现的反弹造成的。但是官方统计时并未排除此反弹,在原文中没有根据。原文只是说这个反弹是个trouble,但是并未说找个trouble被排除了。C意为:与商人预想的一致。这个与B选项正好矛盾,参考B选项的解释。D意为:没有准确地反映经济的状况。该选项的说法太笼统了,虽然由原文得出了“脱节”的结论,但是请注意,是生产力发生飞跃的商业传奇与统计数字所反映的情况之间存在着一种“脱节”,而不是该官方统计与经济情况存在脱节。至少,原文并未说该统计不准确,而只是说该统计与商人们预料的不符。3. The author raises the question "what about pain without gain?" because ________.[A] he questions the truth of "no gain without pain"[B] he does not think the proctivity revolution works[C] he wonders if the official statistics are misleading[D] he has conclusive evidence for the revival of businesses正确答案为:[B] 意为:他认为所谓的生产率革命并未奏效。第一段指出,人们常说:不劳则无所获,但是,要是劳而无获呢?美国到处都在谈论所谓公司的振兴,但是,商界自认为正在进行的所谓生产率革命究竟是否名符其实,这一点却很难确定。作者的观点在此其实已表达得很清楚。另外,从第三段来看,所谓的生产率革命包括了改组企业(business restructuring, reengineering)等一系列措施,正如第四段所指出的,近年所进行的一些重组措施也许并未奏效,而且,即使有所成效,效果也没有人们想像的那样广泛。在最后一段,作者引用了几个专家的评价,这几位专家对目前进行的促进生产率发展的措施更是持否定态度。作者的引用当然带有很大的倾向性,用以支持自己的观点。第一段指出,人们常说:不劳则无所获,但是,要是劳而无获呢?美国到处都在谈论所谓公司的振兴,但是,商界自认为正在进行的所谓生产率革命究竟是否名符其实,这一点却很难确定。作者的观点在此其实已表达得很清楚,就是说所谓的生产率革命并没起多大作用。而且由其他段也可看出,现实的数据与商人们所想的存在脱节,因此他们所鼓吹的革命并不奏效。因此联系到了B选项另请参考第55、56题题解。A意为:他对“不劳则无所获”的真实性提出质疑。该选择项过于局限于字面意思。该选择项过于局限于字面意思,而与作者的真正用意无关。这是一个用字面意思来迷惑考生的干扰项。C意为:他认为官方的统计数宁可能有错。正好相反,他们认为所谓的商业振兴仅仅是假象。联系上一道题,作者并未说官方的统计数据不符合实际。如果上道题明白的话,就会第一个排除此选项的。D意为:他获得了商业振兴的确凿证据。这个选项有两个大错误。首先作者压根没说商业振兴,反而在说经济情况不如想象中的好。第二个错误是所谓的确凿证据无从说起。文章中所有的例证都是在说明“脱节”这个问题,而不是在说什么商业振兴。4. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?[A] Radical reforms are essential for the increase of proctivity.[B] New ways of organizing workplaces may help to increase proctivity.[C] The rection of costs is not a sure way to gain long-term profitability.[D] The consultants are a bunch of good-for-nothings.正确答案为:[A] 意为:激进的改革对生产率的提高极其重要。首先要看清楚题目,是说文章未提到的,大家一定不要犯这种低级错误,选了文章提到过的选项。,作者只指出促进生产率革命的措施并未奏效,未达到人们想象的效果,而并末提到应该如何才对。这属于过度引申的干扰项。B意为:用新方法改变工作场所可以提高生产率。第三段第二句指出,重新改变工作场所仅是加快一个国家的国民经济综合生产率水平(overall proctivity of an economy)的一种措施,促进生产率发展的因素还有许多,如:设备和机器投资、新技术、教育和培训投资等都会带来生产率的提高。C意为:降低成本并不能保证带来长期利润。根据第五段第三句,在比尔看来,许多公司机械地(in a mechanistic fashion)应用改革措施,降低了成本,但对长期盈利却考虑不够。可见,降低成本和长期盈利并非总是成正比。D意为:顾问们是一伙饭桶。不要以为这种骂人句肯定不会出现在原文中,那你就犯了主观主义错误了。文章最后一段指出,在罗森伯格看来,目前负责经济调整的顾问们所做的工作,多数都是垃圾(没有成效),是典型的“于事无补”。欢迎在下方评论区留言分享。
复习考研英语,一定要选用真题、真题、真题,重要的事情说三遍,作为复习资料。小郭老师说过,模拟题出的再像真题,它终究还是“模拟”。真题,至少要准备两套。一套用于模块的复习,一套用于整体的复习。考研英语的题型大致分为完形填空、阅读理解和作文。考研英语题型从考研英语题型中不难看出,“得阅读和作文者得天下”,尤其对于那些基础不是很好的同学,这两块必须拿下,否则你的分数很难过线。了解题型后,就要按照考研题型,一个题型,一个题型去复习。如果你选择报班,比较好的是省去自己总结技巧。如果你自己复习,可以先从网上搜索相关做题技巧(如果你没有自己的技巧),按照技巧所说,去做近十年的考研真题中的该题型。按时间年限倒着来,如2006、2007、2008,以此类推。换句话说,你要复习完型填空,那么你就把十年的完形填空都做完;要复习阅读,那就把十年的阅读理解做完。每一个题型去复习时,一定不能忘记去总结错题,为什么错?是单词记忆不熟练,还是语法不熟练?还是方法不熟练?单词不熟那就一定要去背单词。如果你语法不熟悉,推荐大家看一本高中语法书,叫《知识清单-高中英语》绿色封皮。如果你认真看过这本书,小郭老师可以认真的告诉你,秒杀英语语法就是分分钟的事儿!绝对不是认真的胡说!题型练完后,相信你的英语能力该有一个飞跃,另外对你做过的题只有模糊印象了,那另外一套真题就派上了用场。这一套真题一定要非常严格的去模拟考试真实场景,考研英语一般为下午14点开始,那么你在平时练习时,也要下午两点开始。下午两点一般都是人比较犯困的时候,想要真正考试时让大脑在那个时间去兴奋起来,那只有平时去练习在特定的时间点兴奋。这个复习阶段可以三天一套真题,给定时间做完后,一定还要去总结经验。还是那句话,方法不是万能的,但是没有方法是万万不能的!
问题:考研英语真题谁的好用?考研真相or黄皮书?这题我觉得我还挺适合的,因为我是二战。第一次用的张剑的黄皮书,第二次用的《考研真相》。以前觉得二战丢人,现在觉得没啥,因为我考上了哈哈哈。其实二战压力挺大的。因为我身边真的没有那种考研失败的,要么直接就考上了,要么早早就找好了工作,想哭都找不到人。考研失利后,我也尝试过找工作,但像我这种二本院校、专业一般、性格内向的,确实很难在高校云集的西安找到合适的工作。别人一听,本科生?给你3000算高的。之后我干了1个多月教小学生语文的工作。工作地方远,一月只能拿2000多,我还招架不了那些小孩,一个比一个皮。没办法,及时止损,递了辞呈,教完小孩的最后一批课程,我就正式开始我的二战之路了,想通过提升学历来提升工资待遇。————————————开启二战———————————首先当然是选资料了,你问考研英语真题谁的好用?就只说说你关注的英语。单词书我沿用了之前的,但是真题被我画得乱七八糟的,所以只能重买一本了。原先用的是张剑黄皮书,其实整体问题也不大,但我想换本新的,重新开始,就也是在知乎上看人推荐了《考研真相》,所以就买了。下面我从我印象比较深刻的几个方面,给你对比一下这两本真题书,只是我的个人使用感受啊,不喜勿喷。1、考研英语真题谁的好用?——从解析的详细程度上个人观点,在答案的详细程度上,《考研真相》更胜一筹。像我之前用黄皮书时,它里面的句子就是挑着讲的,讲的也确实都是难理解的句子。但是有些黄皮书认为简单的句子,对我这种基础差的,还是有一定挑战性的。但是《考研真相》对英语渣就比较友好了,它是每个句子都有解析,长难句还有图解,重点单词也单独注释。我觉得更适合基础弱的考研党,那些英语特别好的同学,可能会觉得有点儿鸡肋。p.s.黄皮书大学毕业寄书那次就丢了,占地方,也破了没法再用了。所以现在没有照片,大家谅解一下哈。2、考研英语真题谁的好用?——从文章结构的整体把控上这点黄皮书做得更好。黄皮书比较看重阅读的整体理解,它不会像《考研真相》那样,给你一句句分析句子结构,而更重视文章结构解题思路。看了黄皮书的解析,你能很好地把控句子之间的联系和上下文结构关系。简单来说,就是你在基本理解文意的基础上,黄皮书会教你做题套路。你要是英语基础比较好,可以考虑黄皮书。英语渣就算了,因为你连文章啥意思都没看懂,做题套路摆在你面前你也不会用。3、考研英语真题谁的好用?——从作文范文和后续练习来看我觉得《考研真相》和黄皮书各有千秋。平时练真题,对我来说,最难的一是阅读,二就是作文了。所以我比较关注作文。从给的范文来看,《考研真相》更有亮点,因为它会给2篇范文,一个是比较简单的经典模板,另一个是升级了单词、句式表达的创新范文。方便后期复习时拔高用。再从后续练习看,《黄皮书》后面有自己布置练习,还是参考真题风格来的,有一定的押题可能,你要是复习时间比较多,可以试着练练。→关于考研英语真题谁的好用?,总结一下:《考研真相》更适合基础弱的考研党用。啥叫基础弱,比如你四六级低分过/考了好几次才过、拿到一篇阅读,一半以上的内容都看不懂……《黄皮书》更适合基础比较好的。就是基本能看懂文章,做题时长难句不是阻碍,能看懂文章但就是做不对题,这样的话,你就很适合黄皮书了。上面的分析可能不是很全面,但都是我的亲身感受。你也可以借学长学姐的黄皮书和《考研真相》,自己比较比较。选到适合自己的资料,也有事半功倍的效果哦。————————————回忆结束———————————其实研究生工资可能比本科生也高不了很多,但是二战带给我的,不仅是一个研究生学历,更是重新再来的勇气、不断反思总结自己的自省能力。最关键是,弥补了我高考以及一战时的遗憾。人生很长,希望你有不断追求自己所要的勇气和坚持,老学姐祝你考研成功,离自己想要的生活越来越近,加油!

(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. How does the author feel about the success of Sci-Hub? [A] Relieved.[B] Puzzled.[C] Concerned.[D] Encouraged.29. It can be learned from Paragraphs 5 and 6 that open access terms [A] allow publishers some room to make money.[B] render publishing much easier for scientists.[C] rece the cost of publication substantially.[D] free universities from financial burdens.30. Which of the following characterises the scientific publishing model?[A] Trial subscription is offered.[B] Labour triumphs over status.[C]Costs are well controlled.[D] The few feed on the many.答案(26-30)26.D its content acquisition costs nothing.27.A thrived mainly on university libraries.28.D Encouraged.29.A allow publishers some room to make money.30.D The few feed on the many.Text 3Progressives often support diversity mandates as a path to equality and a way to level the playing field. 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.

考研英语真题阅读理解部分该如何分析?Q:天道考研盼盼老师你好,请问,英语真题阅读理解A部分阅读,做完后应该如何分析?从哪几方面做好笔记呢?A:建议第一遍掐表练习,错多少都没关系,主要是熟悉考试节奏,做完一篇或是四篇后,看错在哪里,如果还不清楚的话,建议先逐字逐句翻译一遍,从文章到问题以及选项都要翻译,即使翻译出来的不成语句也要坚持,翻译几篇后你就会发现这样做的意义啦。把不认识的单词、词组、长难句抄下来,把句子结构分析透彻,经常拿出来翻翻记记。翻译一遍后大概就会清楚文章的意思了,然后自己根据参考资料研究,最主要的目的是分析透文章结构,问题设置方向以及选项中的陷阱。按照这一方式,把各篇文章问题设置特点,以及常出现的陷阱进行归纳,总结出规律,这样才能提高阅读的正确率。大二考生应该怎么选择院校和专业呢?Q:老师你好,我现在是一名大二的学生,学的计算机专业,我是女生,就考研的话本专业自己觉得太难了,有什么好的意见吗?A:你现在是大二,准备时间比较长。目前的阶段,你可以认真打好英语的基础,英语的提高是个长期过程,你有充足的时间来学好英语。在这一阶段你可以多关注一下各个专业的考查方向以及考情,通过网上查阅或是图书馆翻阅相关书籍,或者也可以蹭你们学校其他专业的课程,多感受一下,根据自身的兴趣爱好与专业素质的高低来选择最适合自己的专业。
我们的考研英语当中,阅读无疑是最重要的一部分。备考到这个阶段,大家都对考研阅读有了一定的了解,每年的二十道题当中,考察的方面可以分为几大题型。其中一个题型就是考察对于文章中作者观点态度倾向的理解,针对这个题型,我们今天来详细讲解一下。首先,考研阅读文章大部分选自发表在西方核心期刊的学术性议论文,根据这个特点我们就可以了解考研英语阅读文章当中的态度倾向。作为核心期刊,宣传的是一个国家的精神,不会出现引发争端争议的内容,发表文章的态度也是如此。我们可以简单把这些态度分为五种:第一种,歧视、偏见、不平等。第二种,冷漠、不关心及关心。第三种,迷惑、不清楚。第四种,情感过于强烈。第五种,容忍、沉溺、放纵。我们为什么要了解这些不可以的态度呢,因为解题的时候我们可以首先进行排除选项,提升题目作答的准确率。如何选出正确选项就需要我们进一步了解考研阅读中可以表达的态度,可以表达的态度可以分为三种,分别是“正”态度,“负”态度,“中”态度。这三种态度如何理解我们可以简单举个例子,比如前段时间讨论度很高的上海垃圾分类问题,讨论的人当中会有人非常支持,这种就是“正”态度,表示正向的积极的。面对这个问题有人可能会反对,认为加重了生活当中的烦恼,这种就是“负”态度。而理智客观的人会从全面的角度出发,既认可这种规则的合理也认为还需要一定改进,这种就是“中”态度。态度我们都了解了,那么该如何运用到解题中呢,解题的前提是我们要识别出这种题型。态度题的识别非常容易,英语中表示态度的单词是attitude,这就是识别态度题的一大标志,当题干当中出现attitude时,我们就知道这是一道态度题。当题干中并没有attitude,我们也可以从选项入手,当发现选项中的单词都是表示态度的,通过这一特点,我们也可以判断出题目是否是态度题。态度题的解题是非常具有技巧性的,我们通过这道例题来了解一下态度题的解题方法,解题首先要进行的就是排除选项,我们可以依据前面提过的五种不可以表达的态度进行排除。例1 The court’s ruling is a step forward in the struggle against both corruption and official favoritism.(2017年text 4) The author’s attitude toward the court’s ruling is _____. [A] sarcastic [B] tolerant [C] skeptical [D] supportive这道题当中我们可以发现选项A提到的sarcastic 刻薄的,这种态度过于否定,属于不可以表达的态度,选项B提到的tolerant 容忍的,也属于我们说的不可以表达的态度,选项C skeptical 怀疑的,是可以表达的态度,属于“负”态度,选项D supportive 支持的,是可以表达的态度,属于“正”态度。我们可以首先排除A和B,接下来到文章中看作者是如何描述题干中提到的 the court’s ruling, 作者用了一个短语 a step forward, 向前的一步,这是一种积极的描述,因此我们可以判断本题应该选D。这就是态度题的解题方法,首先排除干扰选项,再到文章中找到作者的描述体会其中的态度倾向解题。希望以上内容对于同学们的备考有所益处。
