本文是2013年考研英语试卷阅读理解Part A的Text 2部分。本文主要讲述了网络隐私问题,就“在线行为广告”引发的争议展开论述,随后追溯了争议的相关解决方案。An old saying has it that half of all advertising budgets are wasted-the trouble is, no one knows which half.老话说的好,广告费的一半是浪费了的——问题是,没人知道哪一半浪费掉的。In the internet age, at least in theory, this fraction can be much reced.在互联网时代,至少在理论上,这一浪费的部分能够减少。By watching what people search for, click on and say online, companies can aim “behavioural” ads at those most likely to buy.通过观察人们搜索什么,点击什么,在网络上说什么,公司能够瞄准那些更容易购买的客户投放“行为”广告。26. It is suggested in paragraph 1 that “behavioural” ads help advertisers to:第一段表明,“行为”广告帮助广告商:[A] ease competition among themselves缓和他们之间的竞争[B] lower their operational costs降低运营成本[C] avoid complaints from consumers避免消费者的抱怨[D] provide better online services提供更好的网络服务答案:B。解析:第一句就指出了,广告费花费了有一半被浪费掉了。后面指出互联网时代广告费用大幅减少,因为公司(广告商)能够将“行为”广告投放给最有可能购买的人群。由此可知,“行为广告”能帮助广告商“降低运营成本”这句话最符合题意。In the past couple of weeks a quarrel has illustrated the value to advertisers of such fine-grained information: Should advertisers assume that people are happy to be tracked and sent behavioural ads? Or should they have explicit permission?在过去几周,一场争论表明这些精准信息对于广告商的价值:广告商应该假定用户乐于被追踪并且收到这些广告吗?或者应该获得用户明确的准许?In December 2010 America's Federal Trade Cornmission (FTC) proposed adding a "do not track "(DNT) option to internet browsers ,so that users could tell advertisers that they did not want to be followed .在2010年12月,美国联邦贸易委员会建议提出一个“禁止追踪”的选项加入到网络浏览器中,以便用户能告诉广告商他们不想被“追踪”。Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Apple's Safari both offer DNT ;Google's Chrome is e to do so this year. In February the FTC and Digltal Advertising Alliance (DAA) agreed that the instry would get cracking on responding to DNT requests.微软的IE浏览器和苹果的Safari浏览器提供了“禁止追踪”选项;谷歌的Chrome浏览器在今年准备提供这样的功能。2月,联邦贸易委员会和数字广告联盟同意该行业尽快对“禁止追踪”这一请求作出回应。27. “The instry” (Line 6, Para.3) refers to:“该行业”指的是:[A] online advertisers在线广告商[B] e-commerce conctors电子商务运营[C] digital information analysis数字信息分析者[D] internet browser developers网络浏览器开发商答案:D。解析:FTC和DAA一致认为the instry会对DNT要求迅速做出回应。前面又指出FTC提议在浏览器上添加DNT选项,可见这个提议的动作执行者在浏览器开发商。可见FTC和DAA提议的the instry就是浏览器开发商。On May 31st Microsoft set off the row: It said that Internet Explorer 10, the version e to appear windows 8, would have DNT as a default.微软在五月31日率先发起讨论,它表明随windows8一起发布的IE 10,将把“禁止追踪”选项设为默认状态。Advertisers are horrified .广告商慌神了。Human nature being what it is,most people stick with default settings.人性本质上是,大多数人还是坚持默认设置的。Few switch DNT on now,but if tracking is off it will stay off.很少人会打开DNT选项,但是如果“追踪”是关闭的那么它就一直关闭了。Bob Liodice,the chief executive of the Association of National Advertisers,says consumers will be worse off if the instry cannot collect information about their preferences.国家广告协会会长Bob Liodice 表示,如果这个行业不能收集消费者们的偏好信息,消费者的情况将会更糟。People will not get fewer ads,he says.“They’ll get less meaningful,less targeted ads.人们看到的广告不会更少,他们会得到更多的“无意义的”、更不精确的目标广告。28. Bob Liodice holds that setting DNT as a defaultBob Liodice坚称设置“禁止追踪”为默认选项[A] may cut the number of junk ads可能减少垃圾广告[B] fails to affect the ad instry对这个行业没有影响[C] will not benefit consumers对消费者不利[D] goes against human nature违反人性答案:C。解析:Bob Liodice指出了消费者的情况会更糟糕,收到的广告不会变少,反而会出现更多无意义的广告。所以C正确。It is not yet clear how advertisers will respond.还不清楚广告商怎么回应。Getting a DNT signal does not oblige anyone to stop tracking, although some companies have promised to do so.收到“DNT”信号并不能迫使企业去停止追踪,尽管一些企业承诺会这么做。Unable to tell whether someone really objects to behavioural ads or whether they are sticking with Microsoft’s default, some may ignore a DNT signal and press on anyway.由于不能分辨出用户是拒绝“行为”广告还是他们只是坚持微软的默认选项,一些企业可能忽略“禁止追踪”的信号并且继续追踪。29. which of the following is true according to Paragraph.6?根据第六段,下面哪一个是正确的?[A] DNT may not serve its intended purpose“禁止追踪”可能不能取得预期目标[B] Advertisers are willing to implement DNT广告商更希望执行“禁止追踪”选项[C] DNT is losing its popularity among consumers“禁止追踪”在消费者之中并不流行[D] Advertisers are obliged to offer behavioural ads广告商有责任提供“行为”广告答案:A。解析:公司收到DNT信号并不意味着一定要求停止追踪,而且由于他们不清楚消费者心理,可能也会对DNT默认信号加以忽略。由此,DNT并不能达到限制公司获取用户在线行为信息的目的。所以A合适。Also unclear is why Microsoft has gone it alone.并且也不清楚为什么微软一意孤行的发起行动。After all, it has an ad business too, which it says will comply with DNT requests, though it is still working out how.毕竟,它也有商业广告业务。据称这些业务也遵守“禁止追踪”选项设定。不过还在具体怎样实施还在研究当中。If it is trying to upset Google, which relies almost wholly on advertising,it has chosen an indirect method: there is no guarantee that DNT by default will become the norm.如果它是想让谷歌不高兴,谷歌的业务几乎全靠广告支持。它选择了一个不太直接的方式,没有保证说能将“‘禁止追踪’设为默认状态”成为行业规范。DNT does not seem an obviously huge selling point for windows 8-though the firm has compared some of its other procts favorably with Google's on that count before.“禁止追踪”看起来也不能成为Windows 8的巨大卖点,尽管此前这个公司将旗下一些产品与谷歌的进行了有利对比。Brendon Lynch, Microsoft's chief privacy officer, blogged:" we believe consumers should have more control." Could it really be that simple?Brendon Lynch,微软首席隐私官,在博客中写道:我们相信消费者将有更多的控制权。真的那么简单吗?30. The author's attitude towards what Brendon Lynch said in his blog is one of:作者对Brendon Lynch在博客中所说的态度是:[A] inlgence纵容[B] understanding理解[C] appreciation欣赏[D] skepticism怀疑答案:D。解析:Brendon Lynch说消费者应该拥有更多控制权,但是作者后面又反问:真的那么简单吗?可见,作者对Brendon Lynch的观点是怀疑的。
这一篇小文,小编就给大家解析一下2000年~2004年考研英语的五篇作文,帮助大家更好地把握考研英语的写作思路和选题走向。#考研英语#2000年真题作文部分2000年这一年考察的是图画作文。自图画作文登场,考研英语作文从形式上看的几大类型文章基本都出现了。这一年的作文给出了两张图片,图片下面有一句话,指明了方向。作文的字数要求是不少于150词。除此以外,题目中还给出了文章的内容提纲。文章的话题是:“过度捕捞”;标题自拟;主题词是“over-fishing”。文章结构大体可以分为三段:其一是“描述图画”,阐明两幅图的不同即变化,其二是“总结图画所反映的现象”,其三是“给出合理的解决建议”。作文分值15分。So it is high time we took effective measures to solve this problem.所以,我们是时候采取一些有效的措施去解决这一问题了。2001年真题作文部分2001年这一年考察的也是图画作文。有的老师也称之为“漫画作文”,其实都是可以的。这篇文章从题干来看,和之前的漫画作文有了很大的变化,这些变化体现为:其一,作文的分值从15分变成了20分;其二,在题干的开头给出了一段描述,显然是在提示文章的主题;其三,字数要求由原来的的150词变成了200词。当然,文章给出了写作的思路:第一段是对漫画的描述,解释考生对漫画后文章象征意义的了解;第二段是给出一个具体的例子,来论证观点;第三段是给出相关的献爱心的建议。文章的话题是“爱心”;主题词是“love”。There is probably no other feeling that is nobler than love. Everybody not only needs love ,but also should give others love.大概没有一种感觉比爱更高贵了。每个人都不仅需要爱,更应该把爱传递给别人。2002年真题作文部分2002年这一年考察的是图画作文。但是和以前不同,不是漫画,而是一张穿着中国传统服装的美国女孩的照片。从题干来看,和去年漫画作文的要求是一致的。首先是给出了一段描述,但是这里的描述意义不大;其次是交代考生文章的内容要求;接下来是作文的字数要求和分值:作文的分值为20分,字数要求为200词。这篇文章可以分成三部分来写:第一段是对照片的描述,这题相对简单,因为题干和照片下方已经给出了相应的语料;第二段是解释图片背后的含义,要注意,服装只是表现,其“里”指的应该是“文化”的内容;第三段是给出考生自己的观点、评论或者是建议,当然指的应该是文化输出的建议,因为这毕竟是一个美国女孩。文章的话题是“文化交流”;主题词是“cultural exchange”;分值是20分。All in all,cultural exchange is an effective way to achieve efficient cross-cultural communication and promote world peace and prosperity.总之,文化交流是一种有效的实现跨文化交流和促进世界和平和繁荣的方式。2003年真题作文部分2003年这一年考察的是漫画作文。题干可以说是越来越精简,可以说题干中有效的信息就是思路和词数、分值的说明。字数要求是200词左右;分值是20分;文章的话题可以理解为“儿童教育”,也可以理解为“挫折的重要性”;主题词是“hardship/difficulties”。行文的结构应该是三段:第一段是对图表的内容进行简单描述,重点揭示前后的变化;第二段是揭示漫画在现实中的含义,也可以写一写“温室”对于“花朵”究竟会有怎样的危害;第三段是给出看法和建议,或者是呼吁也可。Thus,it is high time that parents,ecatiors and the government made joint efforts put an end to this situation.因此,家长、教育者、政府是时候共同努力来结束这样的情况了。2004年真题作文部分2004年这一年考察的是漫画作文。题干中的有效信息是思路,其余和去年没有任何变化。字数要求是200词左右;分值是20分;文章的话题是“终点和起点”;主题词是“final spur and starting point”。文章的写作思路是:第一段对漫画的内容进行描述,第二段指出这图画含义的社会现状,第三段提出支撑自己观点的例子,比如大学生毕业,既是一个阶段的结束,有时一个新阶段的开始。Only when we are well-prepared for it can we meet the challenge in the future.我们只有做好准备才能迎接未来的挑战。考研英语是很难的好了,这就是2000年~2004年考研英语作文的全部解析,很是很走心的喽,如果帮助到了你,感谢点赞关注哈~(真题图书推荐陈正康老师的《真题超精读》,很详细,也很走心~不过要注意自己考得究竟是一还是二,千万不要买错了喽)政治:“对国家出路的早期探索”专题易错考点考研英语:1994~1999年真题作文全解析
关注百家,分享更多法考、考研资料今年被誉为“史上最难考研年”,其中考研英语等话题很快就抢占热搜,不少考生直呼这次考研英语太难,今天小编想跟大家聊一聊这个“最难”难在哪些地方。一、总体分析相比2019年考研英语一的题目,2020年试卷难度相较去年略有上升,但是考察的主体内容基本总体没有超纲。完形填空,考察主题内容和我们日常生活息息相关,词汇相对基础总体不超纲,但是各个单项部分的难度有一些变化。完形填空的难度是较近几年有所提升的;阅读理解A部分前两篇文章的难度大,后两篇的难度小一点,很多时候不是读懂了题目就做得出来;新题型虽然考到了相对比较容易的小标题,但是很多人没有顺着出题者的思维去考虑造成了一些理解上的偏差;翻译部分的文章总体比较容易理解,句型结构考察和前几年基本一致,但可能主题词renaissance文艺复兴给部分同学造成了理解偏差;小作文考到了活动通知notice。大作文是双图对比《好习惯》,平时练习了的还有背诵一些模板的话还是比较容易写的。二、各部分分析1.英语知识运用2020年英语一完形填空所选取的文章主题“烤过的食物会对健康造成危害”,这个话题其实是很贴近我们的日常生活的,很多人都很喜欢吃烧烤类的东西,所以相对而言还是比较好理解的。整篇文章看下来,没有很多专业性的词汇,题目和选项中也没有超纲词。考察大家的还是对于词汇的辨析以及上下文逻辑推理能力,这也给咱们的2021的同学提个醒,考研英语考察了大家的英语综合能力,这离不开平时的日积月累。2.阅读理解2020年英语一的四篇阅读分别是英国的城镇文化奖项、科研出版业的盈利、女性政策以及法国向美国互联网巨头征收数字化税。其中在40道题目中有14道细节题,2道情感态度题,1道主旨题,1道段落推断题,2道例证题。其中Text1文章存在一定难度,非英语专业的人其实对于英国乡镇文化的话题了解比较少,而Text2、3、4难度适中。其中Text 3;Text 4都是考研英语之前常考话题,主题词明确。2020年英语一的新题型考的是一篇《关于眼神交流的作用研究》的小标题题,没有考排序以及选句填空,这个题目难度适中,一定程度上是大家比较容易拿分的部分。针对2021的考生来说新题型的备考大家不用过度担心,几种题型都做好备考的话,做题会好很多。3.翻译2020英语一试卷中的翻译文章《文艺复兴的终结,新的理性时代的到来》,本篇文章总体难度适中,这次次翻译依旧是考察了定语结构,状语结构,同位语从句,宾语从句;被动句等往年必考句型,其实在翻译过程中主要是一些长难句的理解,句子长而且有一些单词很难懂,造成了整体意思的错误。由于英式思维和中式思维的不同,英语中很多涉及名词的使用,而中文则是喜欢用动词,在翻译的时候需要把名词翻译成动词的形式,这样才能更符合中文的表达习惯。这次翻译考察的主要是文学历史题材,尤其是一些专有名词的认识,比如文艺复兴(Renaissance),地心说理论(geo-centric)等对一些工科的学生来说难度比较大,建议21的考生在备考的时候也要适当积累一些外国文化背景知识。4.写作小作文考察的是通知(notice),也是咱们考纲规定的应用文类型之一。格式准确,单词语法少错误,再穿插几个从句在里面基本上可以完成。大作文今年考察的是双图,副标题是习惯。一个小女孩今日事今日毕,另外一个小男孩老想拖延。大作文可以写时间管理、效率、习惯、坚持等都是切合主题,没有偏题的。相对于阅读来说,作文应该是比较简单的了,其实每年考研英语的作文话题都是比较常考的,只要是积累了相应的词汇、语句和适当的练习,作文就算拿不到高分也不会低。2020考研已经结束,2021的考生们要接力好哦!
大家好,本人是今年2020年应届毕业的一枚医学生,本科是浙江省重点医学院校,今年考研也报了本校。从大三开始就关注了小白考研,收货颇丰,然而今年的考研也是踩了不少坑。为了让接下来考研的学弟学妹们少走点弯路,接下来想给大家分享一下我考研期间自己觉得好的英语学习方法,以及有些需要注意的地方。我的考研英语一的成绩是66分,不算好,四六级是大一上下就过了,四级528六级447,后来太懒了一直没有报名去参加英语六级去刷分,以至于周围一大堆好朋友都上了550甚至有些人都上了600,而我还是原地踏步。对于大家来说,英语六级是越高越好,所以希望还没考研的学弟学妹趁着时间充裕多去刷分,分数越高越好。毕竟这年头,哪个导师不希望自己的学生英语超级6,看文献写综述的时候可以轻轻松松呢。1关于词汇词汇可以说是考研英语中最重要的部分,要从第一天记到最后一天,每天都要记,不能断!我是从大四下开始复习考研英语的,也就是2019年三月的时候。买到的第一本书就是朱伟老师的恋恋有词,每天看一章恋恋有词的单词配合一下对应的视频课。在此吐槽一下,朱伟老师创立韦林后的恋恋有词废话非常多,之后,我和周围同学就一起看了朱伟老师之前在新东方时候的课程,还是干货满满的。大概到了五月份后,我就不再浪费时间看视频课了,就开始单单看书里面的词汇。 到了后期七月份的时候,换过1575、张剑黄皮书里面的词汇,最后还换到考研英语红宝书。可以说,人在往往面对一本空白的新书是很焦虑的,所以到十月我还是回去继续看恋恋有词。说句实在话,如果可以把恋恋有词配合朱伟老师课堂上的单词笔记好好利用好好记忆,反复来回背,其实很够了。我犯的错误就是买的单词书太多,买过来不用又不舒服,用了也没好处。所以在此想告诉大家,单词书,一本就够了。关于词汇书我早该知道的事:坚持一本书,用到终点线。在这里顺便推荐一下大家可能知道的比较少的记单词APP,叫做“不背单词”,里面有个可以导入词汇书的功能。2长难句长难句可能是大家很头疼的一个东西,往往是一篇考研阅读题目中出题的关键所在!关于长难句,我其实并没有下很多功夫。前期对自己似乎有蜜汁自信,后期吃了它不少的亏!后来由于时间紧迫,来不及系统学习了,主要就是在做考研阅读真题试卷的时候,遇到自己读不懂的句子然后把它好好切分。唐迟老师在讲阅读真题课的时候也会提到一些难的句子,可以在试卷旁边做笔记。还有一个就是何凯文老师的公众号,他会有每日一句,如果可以每天坚持下去,一定会有很好的效果。关于长难句我早该知道的事:基础好的同学也不要轻视,因为这往往是阅读答题的关键所在。基础不好的同学一定要早早上心,系统学习,英语的学习是从来不在乎你多早开始的。3阅读阅读无疑是考研英语的大头,占40分,所谓赢阅读者赢天下,这个真的是一点错也没有!对于考研英语的阅读,一定要重视真题。就拿今年2019年英语一的四篇英语阅读来说,每一篇都可以从2015-2019年的英语真题里找到相似类型的阅读,并且词汇重复率极高。在考场上我的感觉就是,我为什么不好好再研究研究近五年的真题。我是很早开始就比较重视阅读了,在这里强烈推荐张剑黄皮书,每个考研儿人手必备的神器。我从2019年三月份开始做了98年到04年的早期的英语真题试卷,由于时间尚早,所以相对来说可以做一做,但是由于年代久远,实际上对于近年来的考研英语帮助并不大。对98-04年的考研英语真题我的意见就是,可做可不做。做了就当练手,不做也没什么关系。我周围很多朋友就是从05年开始做起的05-10年刷个两次,然后后期重点就是反复研究10-19年的英语真题。做英语阅读不是单纯的做英语阅读,每一篇阅读要掐好时间做了——订正后思考再去原文找依据——在题目周围写下一次做阅读的注意事项并且明白自己这一次做错的原因——最后整篇文章全文翻译记笔记。可以说,实际上做一篇英语阅读是相当费时间的,但是一定要一步一步慢慢来,就像唐迟老师说的“慢慢来,比较快”。阅读除了推荐张剑黄皮书,视频课推荐唐迟老师的阅读真题课,还有就是十月份何凯文老师推出的“五夜十篇”,五夜十篇会带你重点分析近年来的考研英语阅读趋向,带你解读题意。关于阅读我早该知道的事:阅读如果可以每天练是最好的。在十一月那会我经常隔了一星期没有去做过英语阅读。这让我在突然拿到一篇阅读的时候一下子没有了手感,所以在十二月一度心态有点崩。阅读还有一个原则就是,主题为王,一切细节都服从主题。记住这句话,会在你即使看不太明白文章每句话的时候也可以做对题。我在考场上一度很紧张,纠结一些题目的时候,就是靠这个来确定最终答案。3完型、翻译、新题型新题型、翻译和完型共占30分,这三块我准备的比较晚,七月开始做完型,十二月开始接触新题型和翻译。为什么这么晚才练翻译和新题型呢,因为新题型看着累,翻译懒得动笔写字。如果可以坐时光机,我一定要回去好好敲打自己。完型的话其实我就是靠语感,对我来说没什么技巧可言,这对平时练习比较有利,一般来说我完型可以拿到8/9分,但是今年考研的考场上我突然开始推理,犹豫不决,导致最后完型得分是4.5。我认为,平时该怎么做就还是怎么做吧。并且其实完型还是蛮有规律的,基本上ABCD在题目中的分布是平均的,每五个之间基本是有ABCD+(A/B/C/D),可以自己去做做看。翻译我当时买了小白拼团的翻译神器好像,同时还看了刘晓燕老师的救命班视频课,所以最后考试的时候还是顺利翻出来了。平时口头翻译每一篇英语阅读的习惯也对我做翻译是十分有好处的,所以最后翻译并没有很吃力。新题型可能是分数最不定、也是充满套路的一个题型,做得好了满分,做不好了全错的可能都有。可以看看老师的视频课,听听技巧。但归根结底,词汇不好什么技巧什么套路都无济于事,所以大家还是要把词汇基础给打得牢牢的,后面才可以好好运用这些套路。关于三小块我早该知道的事:开始的时间要早一点,不要盲信一些学长学姐和你说的晚一点没关系,早一点开始不是更好吗!4作文英语一的大作文20分,小作文10分。作文我是十月中旬开始准备,开始是背了王江涛老师的作文,但是到后期开始发现,大家都背王老师的作文,到考场上要是和别人一模一样不是凉了吗。后来关注小白公众号,应该是趁着双十一有很大的优惠力度,拼了小白的作文还有政治等等。不得不说,小白的那本作文编写的还是很不错的,基本上是手把手教你写作文的首段,中间段和结尾,很多替换的词汇也是帮你准备好了,选择自己喜欢的就好了,而且这本书很薄,不会让你有太大的压力。基本上,靠着这本书整理好了自己的模板,这样上考场算是比较轻松了。关于作文我早该知道的事:早点开始准备的自然更好,不至于后期手忙脚乱。作文就是多背多写,模板一定要是自己的,多背诵后整理了自己的东西,便是最好的。
英语一 翻译2019英语一翻译讲述医疗杂志文章质量下降这样一个现象,并分析了原因及危害,以及呼吁我们应该做什么。这和考研英语作文一样的结构——提出问题、分析问题、解决问题。我们来聊聊考察语言点的变化。首先,49题考查对虚拟语气的正确理解和翻译。这是英语一1997年以来首次考查复杂虚拟语气的翻译!这表明,不能因为历年真题没有考查过就认定不会考。考生需要掌握英语所有常见语法知识点,方可应对英译汉。其次,47题考查比较结构,这是历史上第一次考查带有倍数的比较结构,并且第二比较项中的"would have done"这种带推测的动词形式在翻译中几乎没有考查过,而且也不作为阅读理解的考点。所以考生并没有予以重视,预计得分率很低。然后是词汇方面。英译汉每年都考查大量的多义词、派生词和固定用法,今年也不例外。比如46题中的多义词"lay"、复合形容词"short-lived";49题中的多义词"associates"以及固定用法"in return for";还有,50题中的派生词"reprocible"和"incentivize"。以上都会给考场中紧张的考生造句困难。杨凡达老师预计今年的英译汉难度系数会在0.35-0.4之间,与去年持平或略简单。46)There is a great deal of this kind of nonsense in the medical journals which, when taken up by broadcasters and the lay press, generates both health scares and short-lived dietary enthusiasms.参考译文:这些医学杂志中包含大量这种无稽之谈,如果广播电台和非专业媒体对此信以为真并加以报道,这将引发人们的健康恐慌以及短期的饮食热潮。难点1:"nonsense"。直接翻译成“废话”扣分,因为在这句中不是那层意思。原文前面说每周吃超过多少克的西兰花会导致年纪大了后更容易贫血。其实我们平常在新闻中看到类似的言论有很多。作者的意思是这些都是扯淡,没有严谨的科学依据。所以这里的"nonsense"译为“无稽之谈”要好一些。难点2:短语"take up"的意思是“接受并开始做/从事某事”。意思是这些广播电台听信了这样的说法就会如何如何。难点3:"the lay press"中的"lay"是难点,不是我们熟知的“放置、铺设”等的意思。"lay"在这里做形容词,表示“非专业的,外行的”,所以"layman"这个词表示“门外汉”。这里的"the lay press"指的是非专业媒体,大概就是那种野鸡媒体。难点4:"short-lived"可根据其本身和上下文来猜测其大概含义。"short"表示短,"lived"表示活着,所以"short-lived"大概意思是“短命的”,在这里引申为“短暂的,为期不长的”。47)nowadays anyone applying for a research post has to have published twice the number of papers that would otherwise have been required for the same post only 10 years ago.参考译文:现如今,任何一个申请研究岗位的人事先必须发表论文的数量,是10年前申请同一岗位所需论文数量的两倍。难点1:处理这句话中的比较结构。通读句子,我们大概得到的信息是“A是B的两倍”,只是如何把这句话翻的通顺是需要思考的。难点2:"would otherwise have been"是后半句的难点,"otherwise"字面意思是“否则”,但如果润色到位可以不用翻译出来。但"would have done"这种特殊的谓语形式,其实很多同学会觉得比较难。这个结构表示“合理推测”,在虚拟语气中经常出现,比如"I would have been a programmer but end up being an English teacher."(我本可以成为一名程序员,结果却当了英语老师)。在这句话中,用"would have been"表示如果是十年前,本可以怎么样怎样。48)Attempts have been made to curb this kind of tendency to incorporate some measure of quality as well as quantity into the assessment of an applicant's published papers.参考译文:人们已经尝试扭转这种趋势,比如除发表数量外,在评估申请人已发表论文时引入与质量挂钩的衡量标准。难点1:被动语态"have been made"如何处理。我在翻译课反复强调被动语态的处理方法,主要手段有将“被”字转译为其它汉子或将被动语态转为主动语态亦或者总体换一个说法。考生在考场上需要做的是用这几种方法去尝试,合理通顺即可。这一句的"Attempts have been made to …"可译为“人们已经尝试…”。难点2:"as well as"。很多人以为这是“而且”的意思,可以代替"and",但这只是它的其中一种用法。我记得我在某课中讲解过"as well as"的另一种用法——表示“除…之外还有…”,在句子中充当定语。在48题中,如果我们将"as well as"理解为第一种情况,"some measure of quality as well as quantity"的意思是“某种质量和数量的衡量标准”。好像没太明白是什么意思,对不对?上下文告诉我们,因为只看论文数量导致大家拼命写论文而导致质量下降,所以我们已经采取了一些搜段来改变这种状况,那不就是应该在数量之外引入新的衡量标准,比如论文质量。所以"as well as"在这里符合第二种情况,表示“除…之外还有…”。考生在考场上需要迅速做出这样的判断,难度比较大,所以杨老师认为这0.5分很多考生拿不到。难点3:"an applicant's published papers"。这个语言点考得很细,考查过去分词的语义。过去分词可以表“完成”或“被动”,考生需要根据语境判断。这里所说的“申请者的论文”指什么?第47句告诉我们申请者需要在申请之前发表一定数量的论文。根据这一点,我们可以断定"published"在这里表示完成,那么"an applicant's published papers"指“申请者已经发表的论文”。49)This would be reasonable enough if it were not for the fact that scientists can easily arrange to cite themselves in their future publications, or get associates to do so for them in return for similar favors.参考译文:这种做法本应该是合理的,但事实上,科学家可以轻易在未来发表文章中引用自己写的文章,或者和同行约定引用对方的文章。难点1:如何翻译虚拟语气(非真实条件句)?简单的诸如"If I were you, I would buy the car"(如果我是你,我会买这辆车。)很好处理。但49这一题比较复杂,其核心结构是"This would be reasonable if it were not for the fact that …",大致可以翻译为“如果不是因为这样一个事实,这会是合理的”。不过,因为“事实”对应的内容非常长,而且“如果…这会是…”也不太符合汉语表达习惯,所以杨凡达老师将其润色为“这种做法本应该是合理的,但事实上,…”难点2:"associates"为多义词,通常做动词表示“联系”,在这里做名词用表示“同事”。难点3:"similar favors"。这个短语的字面意思是“相类似的好处”。如果不结合上下文,很难明白这个短语真正想表达什么。前文说“开始引入论文质量衡量体系”,这本是件好事。但所谓道高一尺魔高一丈,研究者会利用机制漏洞继续发表低质量作文,也就是"the fact that …"之后的内容。比如,他们会在新文章中引用自己发表的文章已增加影响因子,或者和同事约定好互相引用,也就对应到原文"get associates to do so for them in return for similar favors"(让同事写论文时引用自己的文章,好处就是自己也去引用对方的文章)。50)If we are serious about ensuring that our science is both meaningful and reprocible, we must ensure that our institutions incentivize that kind of science.参考译文:如果我们认真地想确保我们的科学研究是有意义的,并且可以被后人反复利用,我们就必须保证我们的制度鼓励大家做这样的研究。难点1:如何翻译"reprocible"?这是一个超纲词,但并不“犯规”。意思是,这个单词由常见词根词缀构成——"re = again + proce = make + ible = be able to"。因此,这个单词的字面含义是“可再生的,可复制的,可繁殖的”,也就是“能够再次生产”。不过我们若将"our science is reprocible"翻译为“我们的科学是可再生/复制/繁殖的”显然不妥。那么,作者到底想表达什么?我们还需要借助上下文。整篇文章说医学界论文质量大幅下降,发表的都是“垃圾”,说明这些论文一文不值,对于社会进步没有任何帮助。而好的论文应该可被利用的,比如利用论文成果开发产品改善生活质量、或者给后续科研提供理论基础等等。所以,我将其翻译为“可被后人反复利用”难点2:超纲词"incentivize"。熟悉的配方,熟悉的味道,这依然是由常见词根词缀构成的单词。"incentive"是考研大纲收入的名词,意思是“鼓励、激励”,而"ize"是常见动词后缀,那么"incentivize"理论上可理解为“鼓励、激励”这个动作,而且这也符合原文语境。总结:英语一英译汉板块依然是整张试卷最难的板块,但在这部分上拿到不错分数也并非不可能。我们需要的是方法和态度。方法指的是了解英译汉命题规律和考点,比如一直重点考查的多义词、派生词和固定用法,以及今年首次考查的虚拟语气等。那么我们在背单词阶段的态度应该有所转变。比如,我们需要积累常见词根、词缀以便结合上下文猜测出超纲词的含义,我们还需要积累常见单词的生僻含义以及单词组合起来构成的固定用法(成语)。而且我们在做这些训练的同时,提升的绝对不只是英译汉能力,同时提高的还有阅读理解能力和写作能力。英语二 翻译It is easy to underestimate English writer James Herriot. He has such a pleasant, readable style that one might think that anyone could imitate it. How many times have I heard people say “I could write a book. I just haven’t the time.” Easily said. Not so easily done. James Herriot, contrary to popular opinion, did not find it easy in his early days of, as he put it, “having a go at the writing game.”While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent, the final, polished work that he gave to the world was the result of years of practicing, re-writing and reading. Like the majority of authors, he had to suffer many disappointments and rejections along the way, but these made him all the more determined to succeed. Everything he achieved in life was earned the hard way and his success in the literary field was no exception.参考译文:英国作家吉米哈利的实力容易被低估。他的作品讨喜且通俗易懂以致大家觉得任何人都可以模仿。“我可以写书,我只是没时间。”这种话我听过无数次。说起来容易,做起来却没那么简单。按照吉米哈利自己的说法,他在“尝试写作这种游戏”的初期并不顺利,这与大众对他的看法刚好相反。虽然大家都知道他才华横溢,但他带个世人的精彩作品都是多年阅读、练习以及不断重写的成果。和绝大数作家一样,他这一路必然有很多次被拒稿的失望经历,但这些使他对成功更加坚定。哈利一生中每一次成功都来之不易,在文学界的成就也不例外。【详细解析】和2018年真题类似,这一年翻译文章是对知名人物的介绍,文字难度低,通俗易懂,难度基本与2018持平。英语二翻译总体难度比英语一低,但每年得分率也不超过60%,这是因为字里行间中有一些细小的单词、短语、结构较难理解或润色,而这些点是阅卷者阅卷时的重点关注对象,也是得分或扣分的关键。从2010-2019这十年翻译真题,我们不断得出一个结论:重视英语基本功。这指的是对英语单词在特定语境中的理解、掌握常见的固定用法、以及了解英语和汉语在表达时的区别等等。英语二翻译价值15分,不容小觑,希望2020考研考生认真对待。1. It is easy to underestimate English writer James Herriot.这句话中包含的句型"It is easy to do something"通常译为“做某事很简单”,所以这句可直译为“低谷英国作家"James Herriot"很简单”。但这不够通顺,所以我们要对其润色,比如“英国作家"James Herriot"很容易被低估”,这就好比我们会把"It is easy to learn English"译为“英语很容易学”的原理是一样的。另外"James Herriot"这个名字可以不译,也可以根据读音译为詹姆斯哈里亚特(请参考007"James Bond"的译名)。尽管这个作家在国内早已约定翻译为吉米哈利,但译为“詹姆斯哈里亚特”不扣分。2. He has such a pleasant, readable style that one might think that anyone could imitate it.前半句直译成“他有如此的令人愉悦的、可读的风格”显然不妥。首先,我们在这里讨论他的作品风格,而不是他本人性格,所以"pleasant, readable"描述他的作品而非作者,因此我们可以将pleasant润色为“讨喜”,并将"readable"译为“通俗易懂”。3. How many times have I heard people say “I could write a book. I just haven't the time.”词句包含直接引语,这部分独立不可分割,我们可以先译出来——我可以写书,我只是没有时间。前半句的意思是多次听人们说这样一句话,所以整句话可译为:我听过多少次人们说“我可以写书,我只是没有时间”。也可以先翻译直接引语,再总结式地翻译前半句:“我可以写书,只是没时间。”这种话我听过无数次。4. Easily said. Not so easily done.省略句,源自成句"easily said than done"(说起来比做起来容易),原句为"It is easily said. It is not so easily done." 因为在这篇文章中,原本的成语一分为二,翻译时也可以如此断句——说起来容易,但做起来没那么简单。5. James Herriot, contrary to popular opinion, did not find it easy in his early days of, as he put it, “having a go at the writing game.”这句话包含两个插入成分。首先是"contrary to popular opinion"(与大众观点相反的是),这是一个句子状语,通常放在句首,偶尔像这句话一样,放在主语和谓语之间。在翻译的时候,放在句首符合汉语表达习惯。后面的"as he put it"(就像他所说的)是一个状语从句,但插入在of和后面的直接引语之间,造句理解困难。将这个成分剥离,我们可以看到剩下部分in his early days of “having a go at the writing game”其实是一个时间状语,修饰主干成分。在翻译"as he put it"时,要考虑放在整句话哪个位置。放在原句那个位置显然不妥;其实我们根据汉语的语感,这种表达要么放句首起引领作用,要么放句尾起总结作用,但句首已经有了“与大众观点相反的是”,所以两者都放句首造成冲突。那么我们考虑将"as he put it"放句尾,但这样一来无论怎么润色都不通顺,所以我们考虑将它放句首并将"contrary to popular opinion"从而润色为“这与大众观点相反”。如此一来,整句话就通顺了。6. While he obviously had an abundance of natural talent, the final, polished work that he gave to the world was the result of years of practicing, re-writing and reading.连词"while"放置于句首,多半情况下表示“虽然,尽管”,引导让步状语从句。从句中"natural talent"字面含义为“自然的才能”,也就是“天赋”的意思。另外,"an abundance of"的字面意思是“丰富的,大量的”,但搭配“天赋”不够通顺。冷静下来想一想,所谓的“丰富大量的天赋”不就是“才华横溢”嘛。主干部分都主语说的是他的作品。"Polished"一词原本指“经过打磨的”,但修饰作品时则表示“精彩的”。7. Like the majority of authors, he had to suffer many disappointments and rejections along the way, but these made him all the more determined to succeed.连词"but"之前的句子不太好润色。"Many disappointments and rejections"直译的结果是“多次失望和拒绝”。我们需要结合文章背景来做进一步理解:这位作家并非年少成名,而偏向大器晚成。那么一个这样的作家在早期必然经历很多挫折,比如像J.K.罗琳那样写的很多稿件被出版社拒之门外,从而无比失望了,这不就对应到"many disappointments和rejections"嘛。那么我们可以将这部分润色为“他这一路必然有很多次被拒稿/稿件被拒的失望经历”8. Everything he achieved in life was earned the hard way and his success in the literary field was no exception.前半句考查固定用法"earn … the hard way",意思是“做到某事来之不易”。同学们可能没见过这种用法,但根据"the hard way"和全文大意也能猜测出大概含义。后半句也包含一个固定句子结构"X be no exception",意思是“X也不例外”,这个短语在阅读真题中出现过,做过相应文章的同学应该不陌生,可以轻松翻译出来。最后,祝大家圣诞节快乐。
英语是国内大多数学生的弱项,它也是考研科目中的必考项,当然也可以考其它语种。通常来说大家还是报考英语,毕竟从中学开始接触也学习了将近十年,但是在考研英语成绩中,仍然有很多学生不过线或者分数较低。英语考试大纲要求考试大纲规定考生需要掌握语言知识和技能,在语法方面要熟练运用基本语法知识、词汇方面:考生需要掌握5500个左右的词汇,并且对词义关系也要有所了解、语言技能就包括阅读、写作等相关学习能力。英语各专业分数线汇总在每年公布的英语成绩中,有能考到70+、80+的考生,也有没过线只考30左右的考上,但是多数学生考研英语成绩还是稳定在45—65这个区间,相对于各类专业,40+的分数并不算高,甚至过国家线都有些危险。考研英语分数线的三大巨头:文学、经济学、管理学。一般来说,文学专业的考生英语基础都不错,所以英语分数线也是12类学科中最高的,其中2018年文学专业的国家线已经达到了55分,其次就是经济学和管理学,两门学科的国家线均是49分,很有突破50分的可能性。蓝色为近5年最高考研英语得分情况分析考研英语满分是100分,题型包括:完形填空(20分)、阅读(40分)、新题型(短文阅读 10分)、翻译(10分)、写作(20分)。其中完形填空一共有20道选择题,考生答题的正确率一般比较高,在15分左右。阅读有4篇,每篇5到选择题,共20道。考研英语阅读题的迷惑性比较大,考生如果对语法理解能力不强就很容易入坑,最低得分一般是20分左右。短文阅读是新题型,满分10分,主要考查考生的逻辑能力和思维模式,时间短,任务重,近两年考生的得分情况也不是很乐观,基本都在5分左右,有的甚至直接放弃。短文翻译(英译汉)和写作共30分,基本上可以得到平均15分左右。根据得分最低/常见情况,基本上大家都可以得到55分。对于低于55分的同学来说,复习力度肯定是不够的,英语基础学习还有待提高,如果国家线都过不了的话,那冲刺34所自划线院校就更有难度了。学习英语要注意哪些?1、坚持长期巩固学习。英语成绩的提高不是一朝一夕就可以实现的,它需要一个长期的学习和巩固,尤其是对英语单词和写作,冲刺学习和久而久之的练习写出的文章还是有区别的。2、买对学习资料。市面上的考研英语资料还是比较多的,比如学习语法有何凯文的《长难句解密》、刘晓艳的《不就是语法和长难句吗》;学习英语词汇就有《红宝书》、《恋练有词》《非常词汇》,还有《考研真相》、《黄皮书》等,以上参考资料的口碑还是不错的。3、作文练习开始不要太晚。很多同学都认为英语作文提高较快,所以都放到11月份才开始学习,这些临时磨刀的做法并不可取,而且背诵的模板并不一定都能在考场上用到,平时下功夫还是最重要的!

(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.

2015年T2第一段The journal Science is adding an extra round of statistical checks to its peer-review process, editor-in-chief Marcia McNutt announced today. The policy follows similar efforts from other journals, after widespread concern that basic mistakes in data analysis are contributing to the irreprocibility of many published research findings.单词&词组搭配peer-review(合成词:同行评审)irreprocibility [rprdjus'blt] n.非再生的,非重现的add....to....(把...加...)contribute to(导致,造成)本段翻译《科学》杂志的主编XX宣布《科学》杂志在同行评阅之外又增加了一轮数据检查。这项政策有点效仿其他杂志的做法,出于人们对“数据分析中的基本错误导致许多已经出版的研究成果无法再现”的普遍担忧。31. It can be learned fromParagraph 1 that _______.[A] Science intends to simplify its peer-review process[B] journals are strengthening their statistical checks[C] few journals are blamed for mistakes in data analysis[D] lack of data analysis is common in research projectsA项与文章相反;C项与文段内容矛盾;D项目将数据分析错误偷换成缺乏数据分析,属于偷换概念。第2段“Readers must have confidence in the conclusions published in our journal,” writes McNutt in an editorial. Working with the American Statistical Association, the journal has appointed seven experts to a statistics board of reviewing editors (SBoRE). Manuscript will be flagged up for additional scrutiny by the journal’s internal editors, or by its existing Board of Reviewing Editors or by outside peer reviewers. The SBoRE panel will then find external statisticians to review these manuscripts.单词&搭配editorial [edtril] adj.主编的,编辑的;[僻义] n.评论board n.板,木板;[僻义]委员会;v.上船/飞机scrutiny [skrutni] v.仔细检查panel [pnl] n.镶板;[僻义] v.专家小组statistician [sttstn] n.统计学家have confidence in(对...有信心)appoint...to...(任命...为)本段翻译“读者必须对我们期刊上发表的研究结论有信心,”麦克纳特在一篇社论中写道。该期刊与美国统计协会合作,已任命七名专家组成一个统计评审编辑委员会(简称 SBORE)。原稿将由该期刊的内部编辑、或其现有评审编委会、或由外部同行评审者做出标记,以接受额外审查。SBORI专家组随后会聘请外来的统计学家来审查这些原稿。32. The phrase “flagged up” (Para. 2) is the closest in meaning to _______.[A] found[B] marked[C] revised[D] stored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,即答案本题还可以根据学习生活中常说的“立一个flag,干嘛嘛”,flag从字面意思就是旗帜,旗子可以用来标记,所以选第二个,没看文章都可以选对的哦。第三段Asked whether any particular papers had impelled the change, McNutt said: “The creation of the ‘statistics board’ was motivated by concerns broadly with the application of statistics and data analysis in scientific research and is part of Science ’s overall drive to increase reprocibility in the research we publish.”单词&词组impelle [mpel] v.推送,促使creation [krien] n.创造,创建motivate [motvet] v.诱导,刺激,激发drive v.驾驶,开车;[僻义] n.驱动力,压力本段翻译当被问及是否因为某些特定的论文而促成了这次改变,麦克纳特说:““统计委员会的创建是受对科学研究中统计和数据分析应用的广泛关切的驱动,也是《科学》为提升其发表研究的可复制性的全面努力的一部分。第四段Giovanni Parmigiani, a biostatistician at the Harvard School of Public Health, is a member of the SBoRE group. He says he expects the board to “play primarily an advisory role.” He agreed to join because he “found the foresight behind the establishment of the SBoRE to be novel, unique and likely to have a lasting impact. This impact will not only be through the publications in Science itself, but hopefully through a larger group of publishing places that may want to model their approach after Science .”单词&词组biostatistician 生物统计学家primarily [pramerli] adv.主要地,根本地advisory [dvazri] n.警报;adj.劝告的foresight [frsat] n.先见之明establishment [stblmnt] n.创立,成立(上一篇刚出现)novel n.小说;[僻义] adj.新奇的lasting adj.持续性的model [mɑdl] n.模型,样式;v.模仿,效仿approach [prot] v.靠近,接近;v.方法,态度circulation [srkjlen] n.血液循环,流通本段翻译哈佛大学公共卫生学院的生物统计学家、 SBORI成员乔瓦尼帕马强尼说,他期望该委员会“主要发挥某种咨询作用”。他同意加入委员会是因为他“发现SBORI创立背后的远见新颖、独特的,而且很可能会产生一种持久的影响。这种影响将不仅仅会遍及《科学》自己发表的文章,也有望波及一大批可能想效法《科学》此举的出版单位。”33. Giovanni Parmigianibelieves that the establishment of the SBoRE may _______. [A] pose a threat to all its peers[B] meet with strong opposition[C] increase Science ’s circulation[D] set an example for other journals A/B选项与文章意思相反;C项属于偷换概念:说的是新举措会提高出版物质量,往好的方向走,没说促进发行。D项根据model一词可推出第5段John Ioannidis, a physician who studies research methodology, says that the policy is “a most welcome step forward” and “long overe.” “Most journals are weak in statistical review, and this damages the quality of what they publish. I think that, for the majority of scientific papers nowadays, statistical review is more essential than expert review,” he says. But he noted that biomedical journals such as Annals of Internal Medicine , the Journal of the American Medical Association and The Lancet pay strong attention to statistical review.单词&词组methodology [meθdɑldi] n.方法论overe [ovr] adj.未做的,未付的biomedical [baomedkl] adj.生物医学的for the majority of(对绝大多数...而言)本段翻译专攻研究方法论的医师约输约安尼季斯说,该规定是“最令人欣慰的一步迈进”,它“老早就应该出台”。“大部分期刊在统计审查方面都很薄弱,这种情況有损发表内容的质量。我认为,对于当前大部分科研论文来说,统计审查比专家评审要更为关键,”他说道。不过他也指出,生物医学类期刊,像《内科学年鉴》、《美国医学协会杂志》以及《柳叶刀》等都对统计审查格外重视。第6段Professional scientists are expected to know how to analyze data, but statistical errors are alarmingly common in published research, according to David Vaux, a cell biologist. Researchers should improve their standards, he wrote in 2012, but journals should also take a tougher line, “engaging reviewers who are statistically literate and editors who can verify the process”. Vaux says that Science ’s idea to pass some papers to statisticians “has some merit, but a weakness is that it relies on the board of reviewing editors to identify ‘the papers that need scrutiny’ in the first place”.单词&词组Professional [prfenl] adj.职业的,专业的alarmingly ['lɑmli] adv.惊人地literate [ltrt] adj.有文化的,精通的verify [verfa] 核实merit [mert] n.有点,美德weakness [wikns] adj.缺点,不足rely on sb.to do(依赖某人做某事)in the first place(首先)本段翻译专业的科学家应当知道如何分析数据但是据细胞生物学家大卫·沃克斯所说,统计错误在已发表的研究中令人震惊地普遍2012年他写道,研究人员应该提高他们的水准,但期到杂志也应该采取更为严格的方针,“让精通统计的评审专家以及能够核实此(研完)过程的编辑参与(审查)”。沃克斯说,《科学》要把一些论文交给统计学家(审查)这一想法“有一定优点,但是一个缺点在于,它首先要依评审编辑委员会来鉴别哪些论文需要仔细评审”34. David Vauxholds that what Scienceis doing now _______. [A] adds to researchers’ workload[B] diminishes the role of reviewers[C] has room for further improvement[D] is to fail in the foreseeable future A项无从得知,只是提高数据精准度;B项:与原文意思相反;D项:片面,只看到weakness,没看到merit,所以C项正确。35. Which of the following is the best titleof the text?[A] Science Joins Push to Screen Statistics in Papers[B] Professional Statisticians Deserve More Respect[C] Data Analysis Finds Its Way onto Editors’ Desks[D] Statisticians Are Coming Back with Scienc这篇相对比较简单,比较多的熟词僻义都是重复出现的,很多的单词都是高频词汇中不断出现的,前期也给大家分享过了。若是没有获取的同学,给后台发“熟词僻义”&“高频词汇”即可获取文档。
