2008年考研英语一

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！

2020年考研英语一到底有多难？通过考研英语能够上热搜，就可以知道，难度应该不低，有一个单词，就难倒了很多考生，这个单词就是renaissance（文艺复兴）。有同学居然将其当作人名，直接就给翻译了，很是好奇，不知道她翻译成了那个名字？有一位去年就考过的同学说：“很明显要比去年难很多，去年英语一我考了71分，提前半个小时就做完了，今年可能还需要多半个小时，才能够完美地做完这张卷子。估计，今年只能考65分。”英语一难，其中一个原因就是阅读理解四篇都是紧密结合热点，这让很多考生直呼受不了，新题型也不简单，可能最难的就是翻译吧，一个单词renaissance就难倒了很多考生。这两天，很多机构都公布了考研英语参考答案，不知道大家是否对了答案，进行了估分，如果有估分，我们可以参考最近10年分数线，看看能否过线？为了回答这个问题，首先需要了解考研国家线与单科线，国家线比较容易理解，类比高考分数线，就是进复试必须要达到的考研分数线。下面简单介绍下考研单科线。考研单科线考研单科线，分为两个，一个是满分=100分，另外一个是满分>100分的单科线。所以，很明显，满分=100分的考研科目只有英语和政治，所以，所谓的单科线（满分=100分），就是指英语与政治的最低分数线。具体如何划分，不得而知，但是，我们可以推测，应该是按照英语平均成绩来划分的，因为，与政治相比，英语要更难考一些，并且其平均分一般也要低于政治，所以，既然是划线，当然是以更难考的为准。不过，如果那一年，政治成绩比英语成绩普遍还低，那肯定又以政治为准来划线。总之，无论是以哪个科目为准划线，只要这个单科线被划分出来，对政治、英语同时起作用，任何一门达不到国家线，都意味着考研失败。那么，我们究竟能不能预测下2020年的英语单科线呢？如果想要预测2020年英语考多少分可以过线，首先要知道最近几年的英语（政治）单科线，所以，我们将2008年到2019年的考研A区学硕英语（政治）单科线进行了统计，统计结果如下表所示。通过统计表，我们发现，即使是同样100分满分的英语，不同专业的单科线差别还是比较大的，比如文学专业，单科线可以达到50多分，最近十年只有2014年是低于50分，只有45分，而2019年是51分，所以，2020年较2019年难一些，单科线再一次跌破50分，可能性还是比较大的。我们将以上表格中的数据，做一个统计直方图，我们就会发现，部分专业的分数线波动较大，比如文学、管理学等，而少部分专业分数线其实变化很小，比如工学、理学等。我们再从整体上来看，各个专业的单科分数线是否有什么规律可循？我们选择最近的2016年-2017年，2017年-2018年，2018年-2019年，将各个专业的分数线变化进行统计。统计结果见下表所示：通过以上统计，我们不难发现：即使是同一年，不同专业的分数线变化完全是不同的，有些增长，有些反而下降，没有什么规律可循，因为，影响考研分数线的因素较多，比如报考人数、招生计划、考试难度等因素。所以说，如果仅凭英语考试难度来预测国家单科线走势，其实，难度比较大，最起码对于某些专业来说，是这样。但是，我们也发现，分数线波动是有一个范围的，比如，2016年-2017年，最大的波动是2分，2-17年-2018年波动也是2分，只有去年波动范围较大，最大5分（除了照顾专业）。所以，我们可以预测，2019-2020年单科线，大部分专业变化依旧不会很大，不会有超过5分。并且，总体上，分数线可能保持不变或者呈现下降趋势，即使有个别专业会有所增加，但是，总体来说，大部分专业可能会下降0-5分，所以说，如果大家的估分成绩能够在去年的基础上，少0-5分，应该是可以过线的。主要有三个原因：我们已经知道，2020年英语一比较难，可以肯定的是要比2019年难。2018年-2019年分数线总体呈上升趋势，并且变化幅度较大，这主要是考研人数增加最多的原因。但是，这种变化不可能连续两年上升，这会让考生吃不消。2020年考研人数增加虽然没有2019年多，但是，依旧不少，所以对于单科线也会有影响，这个因素会导致分数线增加。所以说，基于以上三个原因，大部分专业的英语单科线可能会保持2019年分数线不变，或者在此基础上有所下降，但是，上升的可能性很小。最后，我们看看考研人数较多的工学专业的情况，将其单独做统计，我们可以发现，连续好几年都在下降，只有去年增长幅度较大，原因依然是考研人数大幅增加。2019年英语单科线是39分，所以说，基于以上三个原因，我们可以大胆预测下2020年工学专业的英语单科线会不会是35分呢？也就是说，会下降4分。那么，你对完答案估分在35分以上，那过线的可能性很大。以上，就是关于国家线以及英语单科线的一些简单介绍，同时也对英语单科线进行了粗略地预测，以上内容仅代表个人看法，仅供参考。最后，希望每一位同学英语都能够过线！

2020年考研已经结束有一段时间了，现在同学们谈论最多的事情，同时也是最盼望的事情，就是知道自己的考研成绩。不过今年考研成绩的公布时间是2.10日，所以小伙伴们还要耐心地等上一段时间。昨天一位考完研的读者朋友给我发私信，向我咨询考研英语的问题。她告诉我自己前不久对照着答案估了估分，觉得自己的英语成绩能够考到70分以上，想问问我这个成绩是什么水平，算是高分吗？最近很多考完研的小伙伴，其实都偷偷地对了对答案，估了估分，所以今天我们就一起来探讨一下这一话题。那么考研英语成绩估分在70分以上，究竟算不算高分呢？毫无疑问，考研英语过了70分绝对算是高分，而且至少打败了90%的对手我们首先来看一下2012年到2018年考研英语的平均分数。从这张表中，我们可以清晰地看到，英语一的最高分是53.94分，出现在2017年，最低分出现在2015年，达到了47.21分。从这些数据中我们可以发现，尽管这些年英语一题目的难度在上下浮动，但是平均分总是出现在45~55这个区间里。英语二由于总体难度要低一些，所以平均分数要比英语一高一些。从表格中我们可以看到，英语二的最高平均分出现在2017年，达到了57.37分，最低平均分出现在2016年，达到了51.04分，总体浮动在50~60分的这一区间。这名读者朋友考的是学术型硕士，考研英语考的是英语一，估分能够达到70分以上，确实属于很高的水平。再加上她的主观题目部分在估分时比较保守，最终成绩肯定要比估分高。能够在考研时拿到这个成绩，至少应该是英语六级550分左右的水平。从19年考研英语的难度出发，我们大致可以对20考研英语平均分做出预测在最近三年里，我们可以发现英语一题目的难度是在不断增加的。在2017年的时候，英语一题目的难度系数为0.513，到了2019年达到了0.524。之所以会提高题目的难度系数，最主要的原因是为了应对急速增加的报名人数压力，从而使得分数更有区分度。与此同时，我们也可以发现，随着题目难度的增加，英语一的平均分也出现了递减的情况。和英语一的情况一样，英语二的试卷难度也出现了逐年提高的现象。而且在2018年的时候，命题组大幅度提高了考试难度系数，使得英语二的平均分数直接从17年的57.37分，降低到了55.43分。到了19年的时候，题目难度进一步增加，分数再次下降到52.66分。在今年考研英语科目结束时，就有很多考生提到阅读第一篇就看不懂，作文写跑题的情况。由此可见，今年考研英语题目的难度很可能将会再次提高，这也是为了应对341万报名人数压力的一个重要措施，最根本的目的是为了再次提高区分度。所以20年考研英语的平均分很有可能会再次降低，英语一应该继续保持在45~50分的区间，英语二的平均分存在低于50分的可能性。不过我们只是进行一波预测，具体的成绩还要等到官网来正式发布。你认为考研英语考到70分以上，算不算高分呢？此外，你认为今年的英语平均分会继续降低吗？欢迎与我留言互动！

考研英语中经常会出现一些名人，如果我们不能第一时间反应过来试卷上的人物是谁，将会给我们带来很大的干扰。比如这一句：Darwin believes that this very difficulty may have had the compensating advantage of forcing him to think long and intently about every sentence, and thus enabling him to detect errors in reasoning and in his own observations.这个句子中出现了相当多的难词、还有不少从句，到底是什么意思呢？可能很多人都一知半解，但是如果你知道Darwin的意思是达尔文，那么你就可以大致知道这篇文章是讲什么的。对于选题、做题也会有很大的帮助。考研英语中有相当多的文章都是介绍名人、或者是在文章中引用一些名人说的话，如果我们能直接知道这些名人的名字，那么对考研英语将会有很大的帮助。今天小编整理了一下近十年考研英语常考的人名，赶紧保存下来吧！总统类名人Churchill 丘吉尔（英国首相，政治家、历史学家、画家、演说家、作家、记者）George Washington 乔治·华盛顿 Thomas Jefferson托马斯·杰斐逊（美利坚合众国第三任总统（1801年─1809年）同时也是《美国独立宣言》主要起草人，及美国开国元勋中最具影响力者之一）John Adams 约翰·亚当斯John Quincy Adams 约翰·昆西·亚当斯Abraham Lincoln 亚伯拉罕·林肯Theodore Roosevelt西奥多·罗斯福Franklin Delano Roosevelt 富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福Richard Milhous Nixon 理查德·米尔豪斯·尼克松George Herbert Walker Bush 乔治·赫伯特·沃克·布什Barack Hussein Obama 贝拉克·侯赛因·奥巴马Donald Trump 唐纳德·特朗普科学技术类名人Albert Einstein 阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦 （犹太裔物理学家）Marie Curie 居里夫人 （法国著名波兰裔科学家、物理学家、化学家）Thomas Edison 托马斯.爱迪生 （发明家、企业家）Alfred Bernhard Nobel 阿尔弗雷德·伯纳德.诺贝尔（瑞典化学家、工程师、发明家）Isaac Newton 艾萨克·牛顿（英国著名的物理学家）Archimedes 阿基米德（古希腊哲学家、数学家、物理学家）James Watt 瓦特 （英国著名物理学家）Stephen William Hawking 斯蒂芬·威廉·霍金（英国剑桥大学著名物理学家）文化历史类名人Columbus 哥伦布（意大利探险家、殖民者、航海家）Karl Heinrich Marx卡尔·海因里希·马克思（德国伟大的思想家、政治家、哲学家、经济学家、革命家和社会学家）Mark Twain 马克·吐温 （美国的幽默大师、小说家、作家，也是著名演说家）Leonardo da Vinci 达芬奇 （欧洲文艺复兴时期的天才科学家、发明家、画家）William Shakespeare威廉·莎士比亚 （英国文学史上最杰出的戏剧家，也是欧洲文艺复兴时期最重要、最伟大的作家，全世界最卓越的文学家之一）

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

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

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

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.

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
