Text 4In a rare unanimous ruling, the US Supreme Court has overturned the corruption conviction of a former Virginia governor, Robert McDonnell. But it did so while holding its nose at the ethics of his conct, which included accepting gifts such as a Rolex watch and a Ferrari Automobile from a company seeking access to government.在一个少见的全体一致的裁决中,美国最高法院推翻了前项对前弗吉尼亚州长罗伯特麦克唐纳的贪腐判决,但是最高法院对他的行为也掩鼻不屑,麦克唐纳接受从一家公司馈赠的包括劳力士手表、法拉利汽车等,已获得和政府接触的机会。The high court’s decision saidthe judge in Mr. McDonnell’s trialfailed to tell a jury that it must look only at his “official acts,” or the former governor’s decisions on “specific” and “unsettled” issues related to his ties.最高院的决定表明麦克审判的法官没有告知陪审团必须只考虑他的“公务行为”,或者麦克的决定在特殊和未解决的问题上必须与公务相关。Merely helping a gift-giver gain access to other officials, unless done with clear intent to pressure those officials, is not corruption, thejusticesfound.仅仅帮助一个送礼者给他们接触其他官员的机会,除非对那些官员有明确的意图以此施加压力,否则那不成为腐败。最高法官如是裁决。The court did suggest that accepting favorsin return for opening doors is “distasteful” and “nasty.” But under anti-bribery laws, proof must be made of concrete benefits, such as approval of a contract or regulation. Simply arranging a meeting, making a phone call, or hosting an event is not an “official act.”法院明确表示接受馈赠从而为其打开方便之门的确令人反感和恶心,但是在根据反贿赂法,证据证明必须得有确凿的利益,比如批准一个合同或规定,才构成受贿。仅仅安排会面,打个电话,主持一项活动不能算公务行为。The court’s rulingis legally sound in defining a kind of favoritism that is not criminal. Elected leaders must be allowed to help supporters deal with bureaucratic problems without fear of prosecution of bribery. “The basic compactunderlying representative government,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts for the court, “assumes that public officials will hear from their constituents and act on their concerns.”法庭的裁决在法律上合理的界定一种非犯罪的偏好,民选领袖必须允许帮助资助者解决官僚作风的问题,不用担心面临贿赂的指控,首席大法官JR说,代议制政府之下的基本契约是公共官员能够听从选民关切的事情并出谋划策。But the ruling reinforces the need for citizens and their elected representatives, not the courts, to ensure equality of access to government. Officials must not be allowed toplay favorites in providing information or in arranging meetings simply because an indivial or group provides a campaign donation or a personal gift. This type of integrity requires well-enforced laws in government transparency, such as records of official meetings, rules on lobbying, and information about each elected leader’s source of wealth.但是判决强调市民和选民代表的要求,而不是法院的要求,确保对政府通道的平等性。官员不能因为个人或组织提供了竞选资金或个人馈赠就厚此薄彼,提供信息、安排见面等,这种形式的诚信需要政府严格执行透明政策,比如官方会议录音,游说规定,和民选领袖财富来源信息。Favoritism in official access canfan public perceptions of corruption. But it is not always corruption. Rather officials must avoid double standards, or different types of access for average people and the wealthy. If connections can be bought, a basic premise of democratic society – that all are equal in treatment by government- is undermined. Good government rests on an understanding of the inherent worth of each indivial.偏袒会煽动民众对腐败的理解,但是它不是总是腐败,相反,公务员需要避免“双标”,即对普通人和富人采取不同的标准,如果关系可以买来,民主社会的前提——所有人都被政府平等对待——就被破坏了。好的政府依赖于一个个个体的内在价值。The court’s ruling is a step forward in the struggle against both corruption and official favoritism.法院裁决是对腐败和公务偏袒斗争的一个进步。36.

(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.

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. On the one hand, efficient time management is critical to personal development. As the old saying goes,“Time is money," and in the fast-paced modern life, it seems that we always have a lot of things to do and we are very busy. In the face of such a situation, we have to realize that efficiency holdsthe key to saving time and time management skills hold the key to personal success. On the other hand, good time management habits play a vital role in the development of the whole society. There is no doubt that, to a large extent, social progress is closely related to the efforts of each indivial. If we can develop the good habit of time management, we are much more likely to improve efficiency and have a better performance in the learning and working process, which is anintegral part of social advances and prosperity.From what has been mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that the sense of efficient time management skills is of equal importance in personal and social progress.Therefore,we ought to take advantage of the phenomenon to enlighten the public and the press is expected to take a lead in advertising the value of developing good time management habits.

[A] The first published sketch, "A Dinner at Poplar Walk" brought tears to Dickens's eyes when he discovered it in the pages of The Monthly Magazine. From then on his sketches, which appeared under the pen name "Boz" in The Evening Chronicle, earned him a modest reputation.狄更斯发现他的第一部随笔,《白杨庄晚宴》,在每月杂志上刊登的时候,使他热泪盈眶。从那以后他就用笔名博兹发表随笔,刊登在《夜晚记事》上,让他小有名气。sketch文学速写,随笔chronicle编年史modest轻微的,不太多的bring tears to sb’s eyes使某人落泪from then on从那时开始[B] The runaway success of The Pickwick Papers, as it is generally known today, secured Dickens's fame. There were Pickwick coats and Pickwick cigars, and the plump, spectacled hero, Samuel Pickwick, became a national figure.《匹克威克外传》的巨大成功,为狄更斯赢得了名声。有匹克威克大衣和匹克威克雪茄,并且那个胖胖的,戴着眼镜的男主人公,塞缪尔匹克威克成为了一个享誉全国的人物。runaway success巨大的成功spectacled戴眼镜的plump胖胖的secure保证hero男主人公[C] Soon after Sketches by Boz appeared, a publishing firm approached Dickens to write a story in monthly installments, as a backdrop for a series of woodcuts by the then-famous artist Robert Seymour, who had originated the idea for the story. With characteristic confidence, Dickens successfully insisted that Seymour's pictures illustrate his own story instead. After the first installment, Dickens wrote to the artist and asked him to correct a drawing Dickens felt, was not faithful enough to his prose. Seymour made the change, went into his backyard, and expressed his displeasure by committing suicide. Dickens and his publishers simply pressed on with a new artist. The comic novel, The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, appeared serially in 1836 and 1837 and was first published in book form in 1837.《博兹札记》出版后不久,一家出版公司接触狄更斯想让他以每月连载的方式写一个故事,作为当时著名艺术家西摩的木刻画的背景,他最初构想的这个故事。带着特意的自信,狄更斯坚称西摩的版画是为他自己的故事配图。在第一期连载之后,狄更斯给这位艺术家写信让他更改绘画,因为他觉得版画与他的故事不符。西摩做了更改,回到后院,用自杀的方式表达自己的不满。狄更斯和出版商直接换了一个新的艺术家继续工作,这部喜剧小说,《匹克威克俱乐部遗稿》,在1836到1837年以连载的方式出现,并且于1837年首次出版成书。installment分期连载的部分backdrop背景originate初始characteristic独特的,特有的illustrate给…插图做说明prose散文posthumous死后发生的,死后出版的approach…to向…接洽be faithful to sth忠实于press on坚定地继续工作[D] Charles Dickens is probably the best-known and, to many people, the greatest English novelist of the 19th century.

He taught himself shorthand to get an even better job later as a court stenographer and as a reporter in Parliament. At the same time, Dickens, who had a reporter's eye for transcribing the life around him, especially anything comic or odd, submitted short sketches to obscure magazines.他父亲从监狱出来后不久,狄更斯获得一个不错的工作——在律师事务所当跑腿,他自学速记,获得了一个更好的工作——在议会当记者和在法庭当速记员,在此时间,狄更斯用记者的眼光记录他身边的生活,尤其是有趣的古怪的事情,投了一些短篇初稿给那些不太出名的杂志。shorthand速记stenographer速记员obscure无名的,模糊的teach oneself自学submit…to…提交[F] Dickens was born in Portsmouth, on England's southern coast. His father was a clerk in the British Navy Pay office -- a respectable position, but with little social status. His paternal grandparents, a steward and a housekeeper, possessed even less status, having been servants, and Dickenslaterconcealedtheirbackground.Dicken's mother supposedly came from a more respectable family. Yet two years before Dicken's birth, his mother's father was caught stealing and fled to Europe, never to return. The family's increasing poverty forced Dickens out of school at age 12 to work in Warren's Blacking Warehouse, a shoe-polish factory, where the other working boys mocked him as "the young gentleman." His father was then imprisoned for debt. The humiliations of his father's imprisonment and his labor in the blacking factory formed Dickens's greatest wound and became his deepest secret.He could not confide them even to his wife, although they provide the unacknowledged foundation of his fiction.狄更斯出生于朴茨茅斯,英国南海岸。他的父亲是一个英国海军出纳室的职员,一个体面的职位,但是没有社会地位,他的爷爷和奶奶,一个是男管家一个是女管家,更没有什么社会地位,都是仆人,狄更斯后来隐藏了他们的身份背景。狄更斯的母亲据说来自一个体面的家庭,然而两年后,狄更斯出生之前,他的母亲的爸爸因为偷盗被抓而逃往欧洲,再也没有回来。家庭的日益贫困使狄更斯12岁辍学在华伦黑鞋油工厂工作,这家鞋油工厂的孩子们嘲笑他是“年轻的绅士”,他的父亲由于债务问题之后被关进监狱,他父亲入狱的耻辱和他在黑鞋油厂的当劳工的痛苦成为他此生最大的伤害也是内心最深处的秘密。他甚至都不对妻子吐露这个秘密,尽管这些经历为他的小说提供了潜在的基础。paternal父亲一方的steward男管家housekeeper女管家blacking黑鞋油imprison关押,监禁humiliation耻辱confide吐露(秘密),倾诉unacknowledged未被承认的pay office 出纳室shoe-polish鞋油be caught doing sth被抓到正在做某事[G] After Pickwick, Dickens plunged into a bleaker world. In Oliver Twist, he traces an orphan's progress from the workhouse to the criminal slums of London. Nicholas Nickleby, his next novel, combines the darkness of Oliver Twist with the sunlight of Pickwick. The popularity of these novels consolidated Dickens' as a nationally and internationally celebrated man of letters.在匹克威克外传之后,狄更斯投入到了一个更灰暗的世界,《雾都孤儿》,他追踪了一个孤儿从济贫院到伦敦犯罪贫民窟的历程,《尼古拉斯尼克贝》,融合了雾都孤儿的黑暗和匹克威克的阳光,这些享誉盛名的小说奠定了狄更斯作为国内和国际著名作家的地位。belak阴郁的,凄凉的orphan孤儿workhouse救济院slum贫民窟consolidate巩固,加强combine A with B将A和B结合起来consolidate sb as巩固某人作为…的地位man of letters文人,作家做法:1.通读全文,确定本文是传记,传记就按照时间顺序排列2.从给的已知段落,寻找上下文,使逻辑衔接3.通读检验正确语序:DFEACBG
Directions:Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (10 points)The growth of the use of English as the world`s primary language for international communication has obviously been continuing for several decades.作为世界主要的国际语言,使用英语的人已经连续几十年保持增长态势。(46)But even as the number of English speakers expands further there are signs that the global predominance of the language may fade within the foreseeable future.尽管说英语的人数还在增加,但是有迹象表明英语在可预见的未来将失去在世界的主导地位。Complex international, economic, technological and culture change could start to diminish the leading position of English as the language of the world market, and UK interests which enjoy advantage from the breadth of English usage would consequently face new pressures. Those realistic possibilities are highlighted in the study presented by David Graddol.复杂的国际、经济、技术和文化变革将削弱英语在国际市场上的语言主导地位,英国享受的由于广泛使用英语的便利的优势将最终面临新的压力。那些现实的可能性由大卫格拉多尔的研究强调出来。(47)His analysis should therefore end any self-contentedness among those who may believe that the global position of English is so stable that the young generation of the United Kingdom do not need additional language capabilities.他的研究会终结那些相信英语在全球的地位非常稳固而自满的人的想法,那些人认为年青一代英国人不需要额外的语言能力。David Graddol concludes that monoglotEnglish graates face a bleak economic future as qualified multilingual youngsters from other countries are proving to have a competitive advantage over their British counterparts in global companies and organizations.大卫格拉多尔总结单一的英语本科毕业生面临暗淡的经济前景,因为其他国家的会说多语言的年轻人在全球公司和组织中更有资格比英国同龄人更有优势。Alongside that,(48)many countries are introcing English into the primary-school curriculum but British schoolchildren and students do not appear to be gaining greater encouragement to achieve fluency in other languages.同时,许多国家把英语纳入小学课程,但是英国的学生却似乎没有获得更多的鼓励去熟练掌握其他语言。If left to themselves, such trends will diminish the relative strength of the English language in international ecation markets as the demand for ecational resources in languages, such as Spanish ,Arabic or Mandarin grows and international business process outsourcing in other language such as Japanese, French and German, spreads.p>如果对其放任自流,这样的趋势将消减英语在国际教育市场上的相对实力,因为对西班牙语、阿拉伯语或者汉语的需求在增长,国际业务流程的外包比如日语、法语和德语也在扩张。(49)The changes identified by David Graddol all presentclear and major challenges to UK`s providers of English language teaching to people of other countries and to broader ecation business sectors.大卫格拉多尔指出这些变化对向其他国家提供英语教学的英国个人和组织机构乃至更大的教育产业领域构成明确的重大的挑战。The English language teaching sector directly earns nearly &1.3 billion for the UK in invisible exports and our other ecation related explores earn up to &10 billion a year more.英语教育行业的无形出口直接赚取13亿英镑,我们其他教育相关出口每年额外获得高达100亿英镑的收益。As the international ecation market expands, the recent slowdown in the number of international students studying in the main English-speaking countries is likely to continue, especially if there are no effective strategic policies to prevent such slippage.由于国际教育市场扩大,最近到几个主要说英语的国家学习的国际学生人数减少的趋势可能会持续下去,尤其是没有有效的战略措施来阻止这种下滑趋势的话。The anticipation of possible shifts in demand provided by this study is significant:本研究对可能的需求转变的预测具有重大意义。(50) It gives a basis to all organization which seek to promote the learning and use of English, a basis for planning to meet the possibilities of what could be a very different operating environment. That is a necessary and practical approach. In this as in much else, those who wish to influence the future must prepare for it.它为旨在促进英语学习和使用的所有组织机构提供了一个基础,该基础用于应对由一种或许会很不一样的运作环境所带来的的各种可能。那是必要且可行的方法。在这件事上,和许多其他事上一样,那些希望影响未来的人必须为此做好准备。
今天给大家来点刺激的,分享一个被很多考生公认为历史上最难的考研英语真题句子(之一),来跟鹏哥练练胆!要想构成最难的句子,而且还是考研英语一最难的句子,它至少要拥有以下特征:第一,句子结构复杂,从句套从句,俄罗斯套娃的既视感走一波!第二,单词难,核心单词中有生僻词出现;第三,也是最重要的额,表述晦涩,文化背景跟我们的日常知识不衔接,准确的翻出汉语,仍然读不懂……下面的这句话就具备上述特征,要想彻底读懂这个句子,你至少有做好下列准备:1. 知道主从,宾从,状从,定从。2. 看过《老友记》。3.珍妮弗安妮斯顿。来,放开手试一下吧!自己可以先试着看能不能准确翻译出来,然后再听视频讲解。(ps:今天的文章有点标题党,最难的句子其实不止这一个哈,如果你上瘾,我接下来多挑几个给你练手!)07:30今日内容But it’s interesting to wonder if the images we see every week of stress-free,happiness-enhancing parenthood aren’t in some small, subconscious way contributing to our own dissatisfactions with the actual experience, in the same way that a small part of us hoped getting “the Rachel” might make us look just a little bit like Jennifer Aniston.——2011考研英语(一)本段话题:亲子关系本段难度:高高能词伙be interesting to做……很有趣wonder if思考是否stress-free 毫无压力happiness-enhancing强烈的幸福感contribute to引发,带来our own dissatisfaction with the actual experience 我们对于真实经历的不满in the same waythat和……一样a little bit 有点难点突破1. 本句难度较高,含有很多复杂结构,是提升长难句分析能力的很好素材。2. 本句的主干是it is interesting to wonder ……,构成了一个主系表结构,其中it 是形式主语,真正主语是to wonder ……一直到句末,is 是系动词,interesting 是表语。因此本段虽长,核心含义却简单,即“……很有趣”。3. if引导了一个宾语从句,其中的主干是if the images are not contributing to our dissatisfications ,(这些形象是否正在造成我们的不满。)4. 注意考点 to wonder if…… not, 直译是“想知道是否……不……”,但一般会直接翻译成肯定状态,表示会造成某种结果。5. In the same way, 引导一个方式状语,范围为“像是……一样”。这个方式状语中,又含有一个定语从句,that a small part of us hoped getting …… like Jennifer Aniston.6. 本句的一个难点在于理解Rachel和Jennifer Aniston , Rachel是《老友记》中的一位单亲妈妈,Jennifer Aniston是她的扮演者,也是一位经典女星。鱼骨分层(建议点开大图收藏)原创翻译:有趣的是可以思考一下,我们每周看到的无忧无虑,倍感幸福的为人父母的形象会不会从一种微小的,无意识的方面加剧我们对于现实生活的不满。这种方式就好像:我们中的少部分人想成为瑞秋的样子(或翻译为“剪一个瑞秋的发型”),这也许使得我们看上去有点像珍妮弗安妮斯顿。必记单词wonder [wndr] v. 想知道;(用于询问时)不知道;感到疑惑;感到诧异n. 惊讶;奇迹;能人;有特效的东西adj. 极好的,灵验的;神奇的enhance [nhns] vt. 提高;加强;增加parenthood[pernthd] n. 亲子关系;父母身份subconscious[sbkɑns] adj. 潜意识的,下意识的n. 下意识(心理活动),潜意识(心理活动)contribute[kntrbjut] vt. 贡献,出力;投稿;捐献vi. 贡献,出力;投稿;捐献dissatisfaction[dsstsfkn] n. 不满;令人不满的事物actual[ktul] adj. 真实的,实际的;现行的,目前的
2019年12月21日下午17时,2020届考生结束了备受关注的英语学科考研,为过去一年甚或更久的辛苦“备战”画上了圆满的句号,着实令人振奋。众所周知,作文作为考研英语五大题型的核心题型之一,一直是考生备考的重点难点,也是议论的热点,那么笔者就以刚刚结束的考研英语一大作文为例,共同揭开大作文的“神秘面纱”,同时也为2021届考生的备考提供方向指南,以期有的放矢,斩获高分。2020考研英语一真题如下:Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the pictures below. In your essay, you should1) describe the picture briefly,2) interpret the implied meaning, and3) give your comments.Write your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points)写作分析1. 考题形式:图画作文图画作文在形式上延续过去十余年,范围上属于大纲明确范围,一直是英语一大作文考生备考的重点,具体而言,考查形式为双图题,虽然和2018,2019的不同,但考研的历史上,最早可以追溯到2003,近几年比如2016,2017出的也是双图题,因此就形式而言难度不大;2. 话题范围: 习惯,自律,时间管理,效率,防范拖延,行动等相关主题就话题范围而言,依然考的是历年真题考频最高的个人修养类,相关话题在历届考研真题中可以说屡见不鲜,如2008 “合作”;2012 “乐观”;2014“孝顺”,2017—“实践”等。同时,北京文都在考前押题班等多次课程中反复强调个人品质类为热点话题,需重点关注。话题内容并不生疏,难度偏易;3. 具体撰写:宏观角度---布局谋篇首段为图画描述段,可用两到三个长句子具体描述图画内容,注意双图题必须两幅图都要描述到位,不能有遗漏,但可以在具体写作时就其中某一幅图有所侧重;主体段为围绕主题的具体论述,可从意义分析或原因分析等多维角度进行论述;尾段为总结段,正面话题可从:总结上文、回应主题、提出希望三个方面作结。微观角度---遣词造句1)词汇、句法:考研英语作为英语阶段的高级测试,对词和句的要求要远远高于四六级等等级测试。从词汇角度来说,要注意少用或不用被历届学生用俗套的词,而多用一些熟词的生僻含义或“高大上”的词汇,于细微处彰显写作功底;从句法角度来说,句子结构的丰富多样性直接与得分正相关,因而要多运用句式解构复杂的句子,比如复合句(名词性从句、定语从句、状语从句)、特殊句型(倒装句、强调句、there be句型)、独立主格、非谓语动词等,以体现自己在句意表达上的优势所在。2)避免常见错误:具体用词上,注意基本语法错误,如名词单复数:动词的时态语态:被动语态的-ed形式,形近词混用等问题;构句上,英语与汉语不同,为形合语言,这就要求考生在写作时不仅要关注内容的契合,也要对前后句形式上的相合,也就是,如前后句语义关系密切,要有意识地使用关联词、分词等形式把二者紧密结合起来,以使行文鲜活生动,助力高分作文。
通过历年考试考研调查数据发现,翻译题是考研英语各题型中得分率较低的一道题。为什么翻译是考研人的普遍弱项?主要原因是词组和单词量不够,语法障碍,缺乏翻译技巧,翻译速度过慢,阅读速度过慢等几大因素。为针对词组和单词量薄弱的情况,小编为大家整理了《历年翻译真题中考察过的351个高频词组(1990-2017)》,这些词组复考率超高,还能帮你有效地把握命题规律!希望大家好好背熟,考研翻译一定可以有一些突破,提高得分率!
嗨,这是小恬的第二篇文章。上一篇有几个评论,因时间和精力所限,就在这里回复一下啦,之前的没有看到也不要紧,就当我在碎碎念。一,关于要不要学英语。首先,考研初试满分500,英语100分,占比五分之一,自然要学;其次,语言作为一种交流媒介,可以超越空间与时间界限,即便不出国不重生也可以通过它与国外的大师、去世的哲人交流、学习;最后,日常生活中如果看外文书、外国电影,对英语多少了解的话也更容易理解,即便是娱乐活动也能得到更深入的体验,拓展时间的厚度。二,备考进度无需与他人比较,适合自己的才是最好。小恬自己也只是记录学习过程,相当于打卡。最近似乎有点懈怠了,不好意思在熟人面前刷存在感,于是跑到没人认识的地方发文章,为的是那种有人在监督我的错觉,给自己施加小小的压力。三,谢谢陌生人的鼓励,祝你生活愉快、万事顺遂——也送给正看这篇文章的你。第二部分 阅读理解A部分阅读以下四篇文章。选择A、B、C或者D回答每篇文章下的问题。将答案标记在答题卡上。(40分)文本一一群工党议员,他们之中有伊薇特·库珀,准备用成立一个英国文化之镇奖项的呼吁迎来新年。提案说,这一奖项应该比肩现有的文化之城称号,在2017年由赫尔举办,并被授予给考文垂。库珀和她的同事们认为,赫尔的成功,在那里带来了两亿两千万欧元的投资和艺术的雪崩,不会局限于城市。英国的小镇,确实没有被阻止申请,但它们一般缺少资源抱团打败更强大的竞争对手。一个文化之镇可以,提案认为,成为一大年度盛事,吸引资金并创造就业机会。有些人也许将这个提议视为笑柄,因为事实上英国不再能够申请更有声望的头衔,即欧洲文化之都,一个1990年被格拉斯哥、2008年被利物浦收割的广受欢迎的奖项。一个愤世嫉俗的人也许推断,在英国脱欧后的世界,出于对重塑自我的失望,英国沉迷于无尽的自我庆祝的狂热之中,正处于迷失的边缘。继文化之镇之后,谁知道后面会有什么——文化之村,文化之郊,文化小村?使人们知道这些头衔不是万灵丹也是明智的。一个经营不善的文化之年对一个地方里里外外的冲洗就像潮水,带来一段时间的名望,却不能给社会留下持久的利益。这些头衔真正成功的持有者是那些做大事的,而不是在一年之内塞满旅馆、高调的艺术活动和媒体的赞誉。他们改变当地居民的愿望;他们推动城市的自我形象向更大胆、更乐观的方向。做好很难,且需要非凡的视野,以及城市当局、私营部门、社区组织和文化团体之间的合作。但这可以做到:作为欧洲文化之都的格拉斯哥年,完全可以看到是这个城市至今依然留存着艺术、音乐和戏剧力量的一系列复杂的因素之一。一个文化之镇不应该仅仅关乎艺术,而应该尊敬它的特性,帮助支撑它的商业街、支持本地设施,并且最重要的,使那里的人民欢乐,最后把它变为行动。21.库珀和她的同事认为一个“文化之镇”奖可以——A、巩固英国的城镇关系 B、促进英国小镇之间的合作C、增强英国小镇的经济实力 D、将英国有限的资源集中于文化活动22.根据第二段,提议也许会被某些人视为——A、一个理智的妥协 B、一个自欺的尝试C、一个吸睛的红利 D、一个难以达成的目标23.作者暗示一个头衔拥有者只会在——情况下成功A、竭力维持它的形象 B、满足它人民的意愿C、使当地艺术崛起 D、投身于长期增长24.格拉斯哥在第三段中是作为——被提及A、一个相反的案例 B、一个支持的例证C、一个背景故事 D、一个相关的话题25.作者对这一提议的态度是什么?A、怀疑的 B、客观的 C、赞成的 D、批评的
2020考研英语考试已经落下帷幕,作为考研英语的最后一个模块,作文是众多考生关注和畏惧的。可以说,“得阅读者得天下,得作文者得永生”。在此,笔者通过精细英语二小作文,希望能够为备考的你们提供一些受用的框架和思路,为大家的考研旅程尽点绵薄之力。2020考研英语一真题如下:Directions:46.

(10 points)写作分析1. 考题形式根据大纲规定,小作文考查形式包含书信、通知、报告、备忘录,而今年的考题也同样考查了考频最高的文体—书信,这与平时授课和作文点睛课上反复强调的以书信复习备考为主的授课重点也不谋而合。具体而言,今年考查的书信为说明类和建议类的结合,即首先要明确说明历史景点的具体名称,其次还要说清楚观光游览时的建议事项。两方面都要写到,切不可有偏废。2. 写作内容小作文又叫应用文,相对于大作文来说内容更为简短,题材都集中在日常生活中使用频率较大的实用性文体。就今年所考查的内容而言,认真练习过真题的同学会发现,“年年岁岁人不同,岁岁年年题不变”,事实上,2017年英语一的小作文中曾考察过景点的介绍信,所以其中对于景点介绍的部分表达可以借鉴到这次的作文中。而对于景点的介绍和参观建议这两个部分的写作,孰轻孰重,题干中并没有具体的规定,同学们可根据自己实际的写作能力和对试题的理解进行有效把握。3. 注意事项对于小作文而言,大纲要求颇为详实,概括起来,主要涉及:格式正确,语域恰当,语言准确,内容完整。格式方面,务必包含称呼、正文、落款和署名;语域方面,因收信人和写信人之间的陌生关系,故为正式信件;语言准确,包含词汇和句法两个方面的准确完整;内容完整,即必须说明景点名称和建议两个部分。以上即为2020英语二应用文的整体分析和梳理,希望对刚刚结束考试的考生有所启发。同时,2021的学生也已经开始进入紧张备考状态,在此提醒各位以考点为指向,打好词汇和语法基本功,为厚积薄发打下坚实基础。
告诉大家一个你可能不知道的事:每年跟着考研大纲一起发布的还有一本书叫《考试分析》!书里面主要给大家介绍各个科目的考试说明及题型示例,还有对上一年的试题难度的评价分析和近年考试试题的答案及解析。今天小黑就为大家整理汇总一下考研历年平均分以及2021考研难度分析,大家可以评估一下自己的水平,能不能过平均线呢~英语(一)历年平均分及难度分析数据来源:教育部考试中心数据来源:教育部考试中心2020年英语(一)平均分为49.15,难度0.492(在这里统一说一下数字越大表示难度越小),与前两年相比要简单点。关于试卷各部分题的难度,2020年英语知识运用部分(完形)比前两年难,阅读理解C节比前两年稍简单点,阅读理解的A、B节和写作的难度都在18年和19年之间。从试题难易程度分布表来看,大部分还是中等难度题,占到了80%;偏难试题很少,几乎没有偏易试题。21年考研英语(一)难度分析2021年难度应该与2020年相差不大英语(二)历年平均分及难度分析数据来源:教育部考试中心数据来源:教育部考试中心关于试卷各部分题的难度,2020年英语知识运用部分(完形)难度比前两年稍难,阅读理解B节相较前两年稍难,翻译部分和写作B节比前两年稍易。从试题难易程度分布表来看,英语知识运用和阅读理解部分中等难度试题占绝大部分,偏易或偏难的试题很少。21年考研英语(二)难度分析2020年英语(二)平均分为55.21,难度0.552,和18年难度差不多,比19年简单,2021年可能会比2020年稍难一点。政治历年平均分及难度分析政治18年~20年数据官方并未公布,但是政治每年的难度变化也不大,大家可以参考一下18年之前的数据:2010年-2017年政治平均分2010年-2017年政治分数段比例2010年-2017年政治题型难度分配2010年-2017年政治多选题选项分布根据上面的数据来看,政治多选题是比较难得分的部分,小伙伴们在平时的复习过程中可以在多选题上花一些功夫。总体上来看,政治试卷中容易题和较容易题占的比重还是比较大的,如果你多背多练,政治上70分-80分还是比较容易的。2021年考研政治难度分析政治每年的试题难度都还是相对比较稳定的,难度也没有大起大落,所以大家可以放心,2021考研政治也基本上不会突然难度增加。数学历年平均分及难度分析官方未公布2020年平均分和难度的相关数据,但小黑整理到了19年以及之前的数据,大家可以参考一下!对于数学来说,大小年的难度很明显:「奇数年难度低,偶数年难度高」。2020年数学试卷的得分率普遍偏低,难度较大。2021年考研数学难度分析今年考研数学大纲是调整最大的一年,21考研的小伙伴比较担心今年的数学难度会不会增加。如果按照大小年的套路,今年考研数学会简单一些,大家还是正常按部就班的复习就好!
