第一部分 综英杂谈中国科大研究生综合英语,一共六篇文章,每一篇文章都是老师精挑细选出来的文章,非常值得认真学习一番。内容包含生活、娱乐、人生哲理、科技几个方面,不论是学习还是以后的人生都有一定的借鉴意义。在此先谈点个人经历,本人也是一名苦战综英好久的学渣。由于距离当年研究生入学英语免修线差2分而不得不走上这条有点艰辛的道路。自我感觉英语基础还是挺差劲的,我的综合英语考过2次,是第二次才考过的。我综合英语课文学习了两遍,第一遍是去EPC语言学习中心按部就班跟着电脑上老师录制的教学视频学习,也没放在心上,想着不就是一个考试么学完就去考了,结果可想而知,第二遍是自己从头到尾独立学习了一遍,自我感觉第二次自己学习的时候比第一次要认真一些,课后题目也都一一认真做过3遍,主观上也更重视一点,收获也更多一些。以下是综合英语考试须知,是关于考试的细节性知识:图1 综英考试须知第二部分 综英简介然后介绍下综合英语考试,综合英语考试时间为2小时,题型包括听力、阅读、词汇和语法结构四个部分。具体题型如下:一、听力部分:共有三部分,A—8道短听力,一段一题,共8道题;B—一篇简单阅读,共三道题;C—三篇阅读每篇文章3道题,共9题。听力共20题,每题1分,占总分的20%。二、选择题部分:共有两部分,A—这一部分主要是单词替换跟词组搭配,会有课后原题吧,不过不多,一般也就4,5道那样子,共20道选择题;B—这一部分是改错题,需要将一个句子中错误的部分选择出来,共10道选择题,做这一部分英语语法好的同学应该挺容易的吧。这一部分分值占比30%,还是很可观的。三、阅读部分:这一部分共5篇阅读,每篇阅读后有5道题,共25题,每题2分,占总分50%。图2 综合英语各题型分值分布第三部分 综英经验然后在此简单谈一下自己的考试经验:首先,听力部分,这个真的是需要长时间英文来磨耳朵,保持耳朵对英文的敏感度,用母语是英语的材料最好了,如果没有的话,拿六级听力考试的练习也是可以的,听力部分能够传授的经验也就这么多吧,最重要的还是保持对英语听觉的敏感度。其次,选择部分,这部分有A,B两个部分,题目说不来难也说不来简单,要做好还是要花费一番功夫的,在这里我分两部分进行解析。第一,A部分共20道选择题,题型包含单词替换跟词组搭配,会出现课后练习题的原题,但真的不多,只有4-5道是原题,其他的都是老师新出的题目。这一部分要想做好需要把课文好好精读一番,不认识的单词或者拿不准的单词一定要查字典并做好笔记,因为这一部分出的题目考察的单词和词组搭配大多还是源自于课文。为了做好这一部分我也算是努力了一番的,课文从头到尾进行精读并做好笔记,课后的单词替换和词组搭配练习题做了不下3遍,并专门整理了笔记。虽然很慢但是还是有一定的效果的,遇到考到的单词会一眼就认出来,大概知道是什么意思那样。貌似这一部分也是主要考察单词意思的,如果认识这个单词知道其是什么意思就能作对题这样,这部分主要的感受就是要多背单词,多记单词,并不是说一定要完完全全的默写出来,遇见了能够认得出来,知道是啥意思就好,当然完全能够默写出来也是极好的。第二,B部分共10道选择题,都是改错题。这一部分主要考察的就是英语中的干货了,相当相当干那种,简单来说就是考察语法。估计一提到语法这两个字好多人都会谈之色变吧,我就是这样的。这部分考察的语法主要有介词、形容词副词、连词、过去分词、现在分词、动词时态语态、句子结构。其中介词、形容词、现在分词、过去分词和动词时态语态是常出的点。如果说要想快速提升这一部分的话,个人感觉至少要把介词和句子结构搞清楚,因为这10道题考察介词的点真的挺多的。这一部分考试的时候记得只出了课文里的一句话,但记得不是很清楚了,那道题还是凭感觉做的。而且从我自己做书本后面的改错练习中也可以很明显的感觉得到介词在改错中出现的频率相当之高,如果这句话实在是看不出哪里有什么毛病的话,那就选择介词那一部分,作对的概率是很高的,哈哈(这一点只是学渣经验,没啥大的道理)。然后,阅读部分,这一部分怎么说呢,这一部分主要考的是你做题的心态,千万不能急于求成,慢慢做,认真读就有好结果。而且这一部分分值比还是很客观的,每道题2分,总分占比50%,实在不能忽视,忽视阅读的话,基本很难考过的。在做到这一部分的时候,我大概还剩1小时20分钟左右的时间,做5篇阅读时间是完完全全够用的,这一部分我是正常速度从头到位做了一遍,然后又从后向前又做了一遍,做完刚好还剩最后5分钟那样。这一部分每篇文章都是第一次见那种,复习也不会复习到原文那种,不过还好每一篇文章都挺短的都是3-4段那样子,超过5段的都是每段就2,3句话那样,总之每篇文章都不长一定要认真读,认真读。特别是一些长难句一定要好好分析,不行就拆分句子结构,一定要搞懂。做这一部分感受就是,题目都能读懂,但是做题还真是很考验人的,不过这有个好处就是定位非常容易,基本不会定错位。只是有些选项自己都很模棱两可很难办,在这种情况下一定要忠于原文,回到文章中反复读几遍上下文就OK了,一定不要自己凭空想想,我觉得の。而且也不要急于求快,一知半解就飞快地做题,这样很容易做错的。时间一定是够用的,好好做就会有好结果,真的。图3 综英考试最后,谈一下复习注意要点吧。一定要背单词,记单词,这个是躲不过的额,因为从我自己复习经历来看,那些不认识的单词有很多还是很难的,那些一脸懵圈的单词主要来源于托福、雅思、GRE等,自我感觉其中最多的是来源于雅思词汇,所以不要想着课文里面的单词很简单额,对于学渣来说都是很有难度,很有挑战性的。不过复习之后真的感觉自己认识的单词多了几个,那些平时拿的不是很准的单词也记住了一些。复习备考综合英语,建议2周左右吧,毕竟我是有点渣,平时复习也不太上心,基础好的记点单词就好了。如果没复习直接去考试的话,我觉得还是得慎重,毕竟每个人都只有3次机会,还是要珍惜的,我认识的同学好多不复习直接去考试的考不过的很多额。临近期末了大家还是要好好复习功课吖,我也得去复习功课了,祝大家期末考试考出好成绩呀,之后有机会我也会把自己做的一些复习笔记整理一下分享出来额,敬请期待额。也希望大家都能吸取我的前车之鉴,一次性顺利过关。

Duality(二重性)Language operates at two levels: at the lower level, language consists of a bunch of meaningless elements; at the higher level, the meaningless elements combine to form meaningful units like words.杰弗里·乔叟1.1复习笔记Geoffrey Chaucer (杰弗里·乔叟)(1343-1400)1. Life (生平)Geoffrey Chaucer, born in 1343 in London, is the founder of English poetry. He was the son of a wine merchant who had connections with the Court. He later became a courtier and comptroller.Chaucer’s learning was wide in scope. He obtained a good knowledge of Latin, French and Italian. He had broad and intimate acquaintance with persons high and low in all walks of life, and knew well the whole life of his time, which left great impressions upon his works and particularly upon his variegated depiction of the English society of his time.He died in 1400 and was buried in Westminster Abbey, thus founding the Poets’ Corner.杰弗里·乔叟于1343年出生于伦敦,他是英语诗歌之父。他是一个与宫廷有联系的酒商的儿子。他后来担任过侍臣和审计官。乔叟知识渊博。他精通拉丁语、法语和意大利语。他结交广泛且易与人深交,无论是贵族还是贫民,因此他深谙所处世事。这尤其有益于他在作品中对英国社会的刻画。他逝于1400年,被葬在威斯敏斯特教堂,由此“诗人角”开始出现。2. Major Works (主要作品)The Book of the Duchess (1368) 《公爵夫人之书》The Parliament of Fowls (1380) 《百鸟大会》The House of Fame (1374-1384) 《声誉之堂》Troilus and Criseyde (1380-1385) 《特罗勒斯与克丽西德》The Canterbury Tales (1386-1400) 《坎特伯雷故事集》3. Chaucer’s Literary Career (文学生平)Chaucer’s literary career can be divided into three periods, which is closely related to his life experiences. The first period consists of works translated from French literature; the second consists of works adapted from Italian literature, especially influenced by Dante, Petrarch and Boccaccio, such as Troilus and Criseyde. The third period includes The Canterbury Tales, which is purely English.乔叟的文学生平可划分为三个阶段,均与其个人生活经历有关。第一阶段乔叟的作品主要是翻译法国文学,第二阶段则改编于意大利文学,深受但丁、彼特拉克和薄伽丘的影响,如《特罗勒斯与克丽西德》。第三阶段包括《坎特伯雷故事集》,这是纯英语创作阶段。4. Selected Work (作品选读)The Canterbury Tales 《坎特伯雷故事集》(1) Plot (情节)The Canterbury Tales is a collection of stories written in Middle English. The tales (mostly in verse) are told as part of a story-telling contest by twenty-nine pilgrims, together with the narrator, who travel together on a journey from Southwark to the shrine of Saint Thomas Becket at Canterbury Cathedral. When they met at the Tabard Inn, they agreed that each tell two tales on the way to Canterbury and two more on the way back. The best storyteller will get a meal at the inn when they return, courtesy of the other pilgrims. But instead of 120 tales, the text ends after 24 tales, covering all the major types of medieval literature. The stories are well suited to their different characters, ranging from the knight, the monk and the pardoner etc.《坎特伯雷故事集》是一部用中古英语写成的诗体短篇小说集。29名朝圣者和叙述者前往坎特伯雷去朝拜托马斯·贝克特朝圣。当他们在旅馆相遇,决定途中进行讲故事比赛,每个人去时和返回时各讲两个,讲得最好的人,回到旅馆后其他朝圣者请他吃饭。最终共有24个故事被写进故事集,故事涵盖了中世纪文学的各个方面。每个故事都与讲述者的身份相符,讲述者包括各种阶层的人,有骑士、僧侣、赦罪僧等。(2) Theme (主题)It shows a true-to-life picture of Chaucer’s time. His tales expose and satirize the evils of his time, attack the degeneration of the noble and the corruption of the Church. Standing for the rising bourgeoisie, Chaucer opposes the dogma of asceticism preached by the Church, and believes man’s right to earthly happiness. He praises man’s energy, intellect, quick wit and love of life.故事集展示了乔叟时代的真实生活画面。揭露并批判了他所处时代的罪恶,批判了贵族的堕落和教会的腐败。乔叟站在新兴小资产阶级的立场,反对教会宣扬的禁欲主义,并且相信人们追求世俗幸福的权利。他赞扬了人的力量、智慧和对生活的热爱。(3) Language (语言)Chaucer is the first poet to write in English vernacular, now called Middle English, which bear a close visual resemblance to the English written and spoken today. His language is vivid, exact and fluent. He introced from France and Italy the rhymed stanza of various types, especially the heroic couplet to English poetry.乔叟是第一位用中古英语写作的诗人,其看起来和今天使用的英语很相似。他的语言生动、准确、流畅。他采用了法国和意大利的诗歌形式,尤其是“英雄双韵体”的使用。1.2课后习题详解1. How is the setting of the tales described? With such a setting, could you predict the general tone of the tales that are to follow?Key: (1) Chaucer sets the tales in the spring, describing both the natural world and people—the natural world shows a kind of renewal and rebirth, and people begin to stir after the long sleep of winter. Chaucer’s description of the landscape is lively (欢快的)and fresh(清新的), since he speaks of budding flowers, growing crops and singing birds.(2) According to such a setting, we can predict that the general tone of the tales will be light, sprightly(活泼、愉快的)and humorous.2. In your own words, summarize the character of the Knight from the brief introction in this excerpt.Key: According to the excerpt, we can see that the Knight has followed chivalry—truth, honor, freedom and courtesy. He had fought many battles for the faith of people. He is a brave, wise, modest and “truly perfect gentle knight”.3. Without comparison with the translated version, are there words still recognizable to you in the original Middle English version?Key: Yes, there are many words that can be recognized. Because many words only contain few different letters compared with the modern words. What’s more, sometimes, we can recognize the words by guessing or by the sense-group.麻烦大家关注+点赞,谢谢!!本文由【才聪学习网】原创,关注我了解更多考试资料!#考研#
2020考研英语二真题及答案【作文】!真题:一个饼图:60%用来学习知识,21%用来消磨时间,4%是其它,17%是获取信息。高校学生手机阅读目的调查【参考范文-网络版】As is vividly depicted in the chart, it provides the information concerning the reading purpose of college students by mobile phones in a certain university.To be specific, the percentage of learning is 58%, which is biggest among the four categories. Meanwhile, acquiring information, entertaining and others account for 28%, 12% and 2% respectively.Without a doubt, the real purpose of the chart is to tell us that a majority of college students read their phones for study rather than have fun. On one hand, with the rapid development of science and technology, our smart phones become increasingly convenient for students to study. Instead of taking numerous books in their bags, they prefer to put significant learning materials into their phone and then they can read them at any place they want. On the other hand, the present college students are under huge competitive stress. As a result, they are aware of the significance of learning in college,where they should enhance their knowledge and skills to cope with the challenges and obstacles in the years to come.Taking above reasons into consideration, we could firmly believe that the tendency will continue in the forthcoming years.小作文:真题Directions:Suppose you are panning a tour of historical site for a group of international students1) Say something about the site2) give some tips for the tourYou should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your own name at the end of the email.

What is harder to establish is whether the proctivity revolution that businessmen assume they are presiding over is for real.The official statistics are mildly discouraging. They show that, if you lump manufacturing and services together, proctivity has grown on average by 1.2% since 1987. That is somewhat faster than the average ring the previous decade. And since 1991, proctivity has increased by about 2% a year, which is more than twice the 1978-1987 average. The trouble is that part of the recent acceleration is e to the usual rebound that occurs at this point in a business cycle, and so is not conclusive evidence of a revival in the underlying trend. There is, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says, a "disjunction" between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in proctivity and the picture reflected by the statistics.Some of this can be easily explained. New ways of organizing the workplace — all that re-engineering and downsizing — are only one contribution to the overall proctivity of an economy, which is driven by many other factors such as joint investment in equipment and machinery, new technology, and investment in ecation and training. Moreover, most of the changes that companies make are intended to keep them profitable, and this need not always mean increasing proctivity: switching to new markets or improving quality can matter just as much.Two other explanations are more speculative. First, some of the business restructuring of recent years may have been ineptly done. Second, even if it was well done, it may have spread much less widely than people suppose.Leonard Schlesinger, a Harvard academic and former chief executive of Au Bong Pain, a rapidly growing chain of bakery cafes, says that much "re-engineering" has been crude. In many cases, he believes, the loss of revenue has been greater than the rections in cost. His colleague, Michael Beer, says that far too many companies have applied re-engineering in a mechanistic fashion, chopping out costs without giving sufficient thought to long-term profitability. BBDO's Al Rosenshine is blunter. He dismisses a lot of the work of re-engineering consultants as mere rubbish — "the worst sort of ambulance-chasing".二、译文赏析人们说,不劳就无获。但是,如果有劳却无获又会怎样呢?在美国,无论你走到哪里都会听到企业复苏的故事。商人们自认为的他们所领导的生产力革命是否确有其事,这一点更加难以确定。官方的统计数字却有点不让人乐观。这些数据表明,如果把制造业和服务业合起来算,1987年以来生产力平均增长1.2%。这比前10年的平均增长速度略快。自1991年来,生产力每年约增长2%。这比1978年—1987年的平均增长速度高两倍以上。问题在于,近年发生的生产力快速增长部分是由于商业周期通常到了这时候就会出现的反弹造成的,因而它不是经济复苏已经是潜在趋势的结论性证据。正如财政部长罗伯特鲁宾所说的,生产力发生飞跃的商业传奇与统计数字所反映的情况之间存在着一种“脱节”。这其中的一些原因很容易解释。企业重组的新方法——所有那些重新设计和缩小规模的做法——只是对一个经济的整体生产力做出了一方面的贡献,而这种经济的发展还收到许多其他因素的驱动,如设备、机械上的联合投资,新技术,以及教育和培训上的投资。另外,公司的大部分改革是为了赢利,而达到赢利的目的不一定非要提高生产力:转入新的市场或改善产品质量也会有同样的功效。其他两种解释带有很大的猜测性。一种解释是近年来所进行的公司重组也许并未奏效。另一种则说,即使有所成效,效果也不像人们所设想的那样广泛。哈佛学者,快速增长的面包连锁店Au Bon Pain的前任总裁莱昂纳多施莱辛格说,许多“重组”是粗糙的。他认为很多情况下,企业收益的损失超出了成本的降低。他的同事迈克比尔说,太多的公司已用机械的方式进行重组,在没有充分考虑到长期赢利能力的情况下降低了成本。BBDO的艾尔罗森夏恩更加直率。他把许多重组咨询专家所做的工作视为垃圾——“典型的劳而无获”。三、题目赏析1. According to the author, the American economic situation is ________.[A] not as good as it seems[B] at its turning point[C] much better than it seems[D] near to complete recovery正确答案为: [A] 意为:并不像表面看上去那样好。第一段第三、四句指出,美国到处都在谈论所谓公司的振兴(tales of corporate revival),但是,商界自认为正在进行的所谓生产率革命究竟是否名符其实(for real),这一点却很难确定。该句实际上是全文的主旨,从反面提出了下文旨在回答的问题,所谓生产率革命根本不存在,官方的统计数字也并不怎么乐观;该段第四句指出,问题是;最近显示出的增长部分是由商业领域里此时出现的正常的反弹(rebound)造成的,因此,不能将它看作是更深层的(当指生产率)振兴的证据。由题目能够定位到第一段的这一句:What is harder to establish is whether the proctivity revolution that businessmen assume they are presiding over is for real.其意思是:商人们自认为的他们所领导的生产力革命是否确有其事,这一点更加难以确定。因此可以看出作者觉得美国经济形式并不像商人们说的那样好,因此联系到了A选项。最后一段引用了几个专家的评价,对目前进行的促进生产率发展的措施进行了否定,特别是罗森伯格的评价,在他看来,目前负责调整经济的顾问们所做的工作,多数都是垃圾(没有成效),是典型的“于事无补”(ambulance-chasing)。B意为:处于转折阶段。文章中只是说经济发展并不乐观,但是还没有达到转折的地步,因此该选项属于夸张类干扰项。C意为:比现状要好得多。这个和原文意思恰恰相反,同作者的中心思想相违背。换句话说,这个是作者要批驳的观点。D意为;几乎要实现全面复苏了。此选项同C选项,都是与作者思想相违背的,更何况,复苏这个词根本无从谈起。2. The official statistics on proctivity growth ________.[A] exclude the usual rebound in a business cycle[B] fall short of businessmen's anticipation[C] meet the expectation of business people[D] fail to reflect the true state of economy正确答案为:[B] 意为:与商人的预想不符。或:不像商人预想的那样好。第二段指出,官方的统计数字也并不怎么乐观,如果将制造业和服务业算在一起(lump... together),1989年以来生产率平均增长了1.2%,比前十年的平均指数略有增长;1991年后,生产率每年增长约2%,是1978年至1987年这十年平均指数的一倍多。然而问题是:最近显示出的增长部分是由商业领域里此时出现的正常的反弹造成的,因此,不能将它看作是更深层的(当指生产率)振兴的证据。正如财政部长鲁宾所说的那样,一方面,大量的商业神话似乎表明生产率的激增(leap),另一方面,(官方的)统计数字又是另一番景象,二者之间存在着一个“差距”(disjunction)。定位到第二段的这几句:There is, as Robert Rubin, the treasury secretary, says, a "disjunction" between the mass of business anecdote that points to a leap in proctivity and the picture reflected by the statistics.其意思是:正如财政部长罗伯特鲁宾所说的,生产力发生飞跃的商业传奇与统计数字所反映的情况之间存在着一种“脱节”。商业传奇即是说大量的商业神话似乎表明生产率的激增(leap)。因此,可以得出结论,经济发展的实际情况和商人们所塑造的神话有脱节,即联系到了B选项。A意为:排除了商业领域里出现的正常的反弹。此选项定位到了原文第二段中的The trouble is that part of the recent acceleration is e to the usual rebound that occurs at this point in a business cycle,意思是:近年发生的生产力快速增长部分是由于商业周期通常到了这时候就会出现的反弹造成的。但是官方统计时并未排除此反弹,在原文中没有根据。原文只是说这个反弹是个trouble,但是并未说找个trouble被排除了。C意为:与商人预想的一致。这个与B选项正好矛盾,参考B选项的解释。D意为:没有准确地反映经济的状况。该选项的说法太笼统了,虽然由原文得出了“脱节”的结论,但是请注意,是生产力发生飞跃的商业传奇与统计数字所反映的情况之间存在着一种“脱节”,而不是该官方统计与经济情况存在脱节。至少,原文并未说该统计不准确,而只是说该统计与商人们预料的不符。3. The author raises the question "what about pain without gain?" because ________.[A] he questions the truth of "no gain without pain"[B] he does not think the proctivity revolution works[C] he wonders if the official statistics are misleading[D] he has conclusive evidence for the revival of businesses正确答案为:[B] 意为:他认为所谓的生产率革命并未奏效。第一段指出,人们常说:不劳则无所获,但是,要是劳而无获呢?美国到处都在谈论所谓公司的振兴,但是,商界自认为正在进行的所谓生产率革命究竟是否名符其实,这一点却很难确定。作者的观点在此其实已表达得很清楚。另外,从第三段来看,所谓的生产率革命包括了改组企业(business restructuring, reengineering)等一系列措施,正如第四段所指出的,近年所进行的一些重组措施也许并未奏效,而且,即使有所成效,效果也没有人们想像的那样广泛。在最后一段,作者引用了几个专家的评价,这几位专家对目前进行的促进生产率发展的措施更是持否定态度。作者的引用当然带有很大的倾向性,用以支持自己的观点。第一段指出,人们常说:不劳则无所获,但是,要是劳而无获呢?美国到处都在谈论所谓公司的振兴,但是,商界自认为正在进行的所谓生产率革命究竟是否名符其实,这一点却很难确定。作者的观点在此其实已表达得很清楚,就是说所谓的生产率革命并没起多大作用。而且由其他段也可看出,现实的数据与商人们所想的存在脱节,因此他们所鼓吹的革命并不奏效。因此联系到了B选项另请参考第55、56题题解。A意为:他对“不劳则无所获”的真实性提出质疑。该选择项过于局限于字面意思。该选择项过于局限于字面意思,而与作者的真正用意无关。这是一个用字面意思来迷惑考生的干扰项。C意为:他认为官方的统计数宁可能有错。正好相反,他们认为所谓的商业振兴仅仅是假象。联系上一道题,作者并未说官方的统计数据不符合实际。如果上道题明白的话,就会第一个排除此选项的。D意为:他获得了商业振兴的确凿证据。这个选项有两个大错误。首先作者压根没说商业振兴,反而在说经济情况不如想象中的好。第二个错误是所谓的确凿证据无从说起。文章中所有的例证都是在说明“脱节”这个问题,而不是在说什么商业振兴。4. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?[A] Radical reforms are essential for the increase of proctivity.[B] New ways of organizing workplaces may help to increase proctivity.[C] The rection of costs is not a sure way to gain long-term profitability.[D] The consultants are a bunch of good-for-nothings.正确答案为:[A] 意为:激进的改革对生产率的提高极其重要。首先要看清楚题目,是说文章未提到的,大家一定不要犯这种低级错误,选了文章提到过的选项。,作者只指出促进生产率革命的措施并未奏效,未达到人们想象的效果,而并末提到应该如何才对。这属于过度引申的干扰项。B意为:用新方法改变工作场所可以提高生产率。第三段第二句指出,重新改变工作场所仅是加快一个国家的国民经济综合生产率水平(overall proctivity of an economy)的一种措施,促进生产率发展的因素还有许多,如:设备和机器投资、新技术、教育和培训投资等都会带来生产率的提高。C意为:降低成本并不能保证带来长期利润。根据第五段第三句,在比尔看来,许多公司机械地(in a mechanistic fashion)应用改革措施,降低了成本,但对长期盈利却考虑不够。可见,降低成本和长期盈利并非总是成正比。D意为:顾问们是一伙饭桶。不要以为这种骂人句肯定不会出现在原文中,那你就犯了主观主义错误了。文章最后一段指出,在罗森伯格看来,目前负责经济调整的顾问们所做的工作,多数都是垃圾(没有成效),是典型的“于事无补”。欢迎在下方评论区留言分享。
考研真题精选一、选择题1. Derivational morpheme contrasts sharply with inflectional morpheme in that the former changes the _____ while the latter does not.(北二外2017研)A. meaningB. word classC. formD. speech sound【答案】B查看答案【解析】morpheme语素,分为自由语素和黏着语素,其中黏着语素包括词根和词缀两种类型,词缀分为派生词缀(derivational affixes)和屈折词缀(inflectional affixes)。派生词缀黏附在词根语素上构成新词,也即增加了新的词汇义内容或改变了词的类别归属。屈折词缀只能改变一个词的形式,不能构成新词。也即屈折词缀增加的是表示句法范畴的意义,并且总是不改变词的类别归属。即两者重要区别在于是否改变了词的类别,故B为正确答案。2. Which of the following are homographs?(对外经贸2015)A. lead, leadB. rest, wrestC. lie, lieD. beat, bit【答案】C查看答案【解析】homographs同形异义词,指在语法形式上拼写和发音完全相同,而意义不同的词。lie“躺着”,还有“说谎”的意思,所以C选项中两个词是同形异义词。3. _____ deals with the relationship between the linguistic element and the non-linguistic world experience.(西安交大2008研)A.

(44)____this is an adequate amount so long as it is aimed in the right direction. Social scientists who complain about a lack of funding should not expect more in today’s economic climate.The trick is to direct these funds better. The European Union Framework funding programs have long had a category specifically targeted at social scientists. This year, it was proposed that system be changed: Horizon 2020,a new program to be enacted in 2014,would not have such a category ,This has resulted in protests from social scientists. But the intention is not to neglect social science ; rather ,the complete opposite.(45)____That should create more collaborative endeavors and help to develop projects aimed directly at solving global problems.[A] It could be that we are evolving two communities of socialscientists: one that is discipline-oriented and publishing in highlyspecialized journals, and one that is problem-oriented and publishingelsewhere, such as policy briefs.[B] However, the numbers are still small: in 2010,about 1,600 of the100,000 social-sciences papers published globally included one of theseKeywords.[C] the idea is to force social to integrate their work with other categories, including health and demographic change food security, marine research and the bio-economy, clear, efficient energy; and inclusive, innovative and secure societies.[D] the solution is to change the mindset of the academic community, and what it considers to be its main goal. Global challenges and social innovation ought to receive much more attention from scientists, especially the young ones.[E] These issues all have root causes in human behavior. All require behavioral change and social innovations, as well as technological development. Stemming climate change, for example, is as much about changing consumption patterns and promoting tax acceptance as it is about developing clean energy.[F] Despite these factors , many social scientists seem reluctant to tackle such problems . And in Europe , some are up in arms over a proposal to drop a specific funding category for social-science research and to integrate it within cross-cutting topics of sustainable development .[G] During the late 1990s , national spending on social sciences and the humanities as a percentage of all research and development funds-including government, higher ecation, non-profit and corporate -varied from around 4% to 25%; in most European nations , it is about 15%.Part CDirections: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (10 points)It is speculated that gardens arise from a basic need in the indivials who made them: the need for creative expression. There is no doubt that gardens evidence an impossible urge to create, express, fashion, and beautify and that self-expression is a basic human urge; (46) Yet when one looks at the photographs of the garden created by the homeless, it strikes one that , for all their diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various other fundamental urges, beyond that of decoration and creative expression.One of these urges had to do with creating a state of peace in the midst of turbulence, a “still point of the turning world,” to borrow a phrase from T. S. Eliot. (47)A sacred place of peace, however crude it may be, is a distinctly human need, as opposed to shelter, which is a distinctly animal need. This distinction is so much so that where the latter is lacking, as it is for these unlikely gardens, the former becomes all the more urgent. Composure is a state of mind made possible by the structuring of one’s relation to one’s environment. (48) The gardens of the homeless which are in effect homeless gardens introce from into an urban environment where it either didn’t exist or was not discernible as such. In so doing they give composure to a segment of the inarticulate environment in which they take their stand.Another urge or need that these gardens appear to respond to, or to arise from is so intrinsic that we are barely ever conscious of its abiding claims on us. When we are deprived of green, of plants, of trees, (49) most of us give into a demoralization of spirit which we usually blame on some psychological conditions, until one day we find ourselves in garden and feel the expression vanish as if by magic. In most of the homeless gardens of New York City the actual cultivation of plants is unfeasible, yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attempts to call arrangement of materials, an institution of colors, small pool of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals. On display here are various fantasy elements whose reference, at some basic level, seems to be the natural world. (50)It is this implicit or explicit reference to nature that fully justifies the use of word garden though in a “liberated” sense, to describe these synthetic constructions. In them we can see basophilic- a yearning for contact with nonhuman life-assuming uncanny representational forms.46. yet when one looks at the photographs of the gardens created by the homeless, it strikes one that, for all their diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various other fundamental urges beyond that of decoration and creative expression.47.

grants【解析】第一句提到“总体而言,当人们自己做决定时,并不擅长考虑背景信息。”第二句顺接上文,“乍一看这是一种优势”,that引起定语从句,这种优势使人们具有一种能力,即能够做出不受外界因素影响的不带偏见的决定。B选项submit “服从,提交”,不能与ability连用,C选项transmit “传输,发射”,也不能与ability 搭配,D选项deliver “传递”,同样不能与ability搭配。A, C, D无论从搭配上还是意思上都不合适。A选项grant本身具有赋予,授予的意思。故答案选A。2.【答案】D external【解析】external外部因素和上文的background information同义复现,不考虑背景信息,不受外界因素影响。A选项minor 次要的,B选项objective 客观的,C选项crucial 残酷的,D选项external 外部的,故答案选D。3.【答案】C picture【解析】第三题本句but引起句意转折。“但是XX推测不考虑大局会导致决策者被日常接触的信息影响而带有偏见。”首先注意到空前面有定冠词the,指代上文信息,即不考虑背景信息、不考虑大环境。而大局,大环境的表达,此处选择picture是最贴切的。A选项 issue 问题,B选项vision 想象力,美景都不合适,故答案选C。4.【答案】A For example【解析】通读后面的句子,提到了法官与被告,这明显是生活当中的一个具体的实例,故答案选A。而B选项 on average “平均,通常”,出现的话,周围往往应该要出现数字。C选项in principle“大体上,原则上”,后面需要出现的是总结性的话语,D选项above all“首先”是用来列举条目,将BCD排除。5.【答案】B fearful【解析】从句意上来看“例如,他们提出理论,认为法官不敢在罪行面前表现得太软弱,如果当天已经宣判五六名被告执行缓刑,那么他很有可能将下一个人送入监狱。A选项fond of 喜欢,B选项 fear of 惧怕,C选项capable of 有能力,D选项thoughtless of 考虑不周,故答案选B。6.【答案】B on【解析】根据句内的逻辑关系,在对待犯罪行为方面害怕表现出太软弱,在。。。方面,关于。。。的表达应该用介词on,故答案为B。7.【答案】A if【解析】A if 表条件。B选项 until 表时间,往往跟not连用,直接排除。C选项though表让步,D选项unless 相当于 if...not 。通读空格所在的前后句子,得出这两句之间的逻辑关系是表示条件的。8.【答案】D test【解析】首先注意到idea前面有定冠词this,很明显指代上文提出的观点。而且跟上文以法官为例一样,下文“他们把注意力转向大学录取过程”也是上文观点的例证,目的是对上文的观点进行检验,而不是A选项“促进”,B选项“强调”或C选项“分享”,故答案选D。9.【答案】D success【解析】A选项decision“决定”,B 选项quality“质量,品质”,C选项status“地位”,D选项success“成功”。申请者的____不应该取决于同一天随机选到的其他几名申请者。接着下文讲到面试官面试MBA申请者的结果results,因此第9题应该也有结果的意思,与下文结合是达到正面的结果,因此答案是即“申请者的成功”。其它选项带入原文重叠答案,与原义不符合10.【答案】A chosen【解析】空格后面有一个副词为randomly,随机地,既然是随机,那么选项B选项studied“研究过的”,C选项found “找到的” D选项identified“经鉴定的”就与randomly是相矛盾的,全部排除。11.【答案】D otherwise【解析】本题解题关键在于but,通过suspect可以看出Dr. Simonton与前文意思相反,因此otherwise正好符合题意。12.【答案】C concted【解析】此外明显缺一个过去分词作interviews的定语,再看by后面的officers,只有concted(执行),符合语境,故为正确答案。13.【答案】B rated【解析】本题末尾one to five(从一到五),前面又有一个on a scale(…的范围), A分配,D排列语义上说不通,再综合后面的factor(因素),对比一下,只有B(划分等级),整合起来,即划分成一到五个等级,合情合理C match看似与to搭配,但也不符合文意,故正确答案为B.14.【答案】D took【解析】本题需联系整句话,take…into consideration(考虑,涉及),从形式上来说没有问题,再从意义上来看,说“这个等级考虑了几种因素…”,是对上文评级的进一步解释,也没有问题。15.【答案】B then【解析】还是承接上文讲到的评级得分,后半句讲到的是(平时学校等级)考试得分,再结合中间conjunction一词(联接),可以推断为then(具有承接之意),因此为正确答案,而A和D为同一意义和用法(代替),与conjunction相冲突,C说不通,故也为错误选项。16.【答案】C marked【解析】本题出在一个非限定性定语从句上,先行词为a standardized exam, 后半句是800分,考试和分数之间首选marked,选项B通过具有一定的干扰性,但注意主语是考试,所以正确选项为C。A为无关选项。17.【答案】A before【解析】本句属于比较级,对比的是几个面试者的分数,C、D是空间上的上下,而这里缺的时间上的先后,故排除C和D,B是“之后”,不符合语言先后逻辑,故正确答案为A.18.【答案】C drop【解析】解本题需往下看,to…the effects of such a decrease, 由此可以判断接下来那个应聘者的分数是出现了下降,故正确选项C.19.【答案】B undo【解析】该句为不定式作主语,“(面试考官可能给)更低的分数”所带来的影响,可以推断,是消除或是抵消这种不利结果,应聘者需要在GMAT中多拿30分,A “达到”,C “保持”D“漠视”明显不符,故B为正确答案。20.【答案】C necessary【解析】该题难度较大,需把句意弄懂,也就是“这30分是比…所多的”建议把四个选项分别代入空格处,A有前途的,B可能的,C必须的,D有帮助的,对比之后,只有C最合逻辑 Section II Reading ComprehensionPart AText 121.【答案】(insensitivity to fashion)【解析】事实细节题。根据题干,首先定位到首段。由文章第一句后半句“…scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn’t affect her.”意思是:“……批评她没有魅力的助理,因为助理认为高级时尚对她的生活影响不大”。可知criticize是对scolds的同义替换,B项中的“insensitivity to fashion”是“imagining that high fashion doesn’t affect her.”的同义替换。所以B项为正确答案。A项在文中并未提及,属于无中生有。C项和D项是对文章第一句的曲解。22.【答案】(shop for their garments more frequently)【解析】事实细节题。根据题干,首先定位到第二段。由倒数第二句“these labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable, ……, and to renew their wardrobe every few weeks.”意思是“这些商标(畅销商标)促使有时尚意识的消费者将服装看成是用完就可以丢弃的,……,并且每周更新他们的衣橱。”D选项“shop for their garments more frequently”的意思是“更加频繁地购买服装”,正好是“renew their wardrobe every few weeks”的同义替换。A,B,C项均属于无中生有项。23.【答案】(accusation)【解析】词义题。题干中需要猜测词义的单词出现在第二段的第一句“……the feverish world described inOverdressed, Elizabeth Cline’s three-year indictment of ‘fast fashion’”。再结合选项可知,“indictment”是Elizabeth Cline对“快时尚”的一种态度。因此,解答此题的关键在于联系上下文语境,找到Elizabeth Cline对“快时尚”的态度。由第二段最后一句“By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have hijacked fashion cycles, shaking an instry long accustomed to a seasonal pace.”,意思是“Cline说,通过以特别低的价格销售潮流物品,这些品牌破坏了潮流周期,动摇了这个长久以来习惯于季节周期的产业”。由“hijack”和“shaking”可知,Cline对“快时尚”应该是持否定态度的,所以选项A“accusation (谴责)”是正确选项。24.【答案】(pricing is vital to environmental-friendly purchasing)【解析】推理判断题。根据题干,可定位到最后一段。解题关键在于“Vanity is a constant; people will only start shopping more sustainably when they can’t afford not to”,意思是“每个人都很虚荣,这很常见。但消费者付不起太多东西的时候,他们才会以更加可持续的方式去购物。”这句的关键词是“afford”和“shop more sustainably”,对应于D项中的“pricing”和“environmental-friendly purchasing”。A项对于本段的曲解。B项说的是“忽视环境的可持续发展”,与文中“several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment…”(一些时尚服饰公司已经做出努力减少对劳动力和环境)意思相悖。C项文中未提及。25.【答案】(criticism of the fast-fashion instry)【解析】主旨大意题。此题考查对全文主旨大意的准确归纳。从整个文章脉络来看,文章的第一段用事例引入,第二段讲到文章的主题“快时尚”,并指出它破坏了时尚周期,动摇了时尚产业。第三四段指出“快时尚”这种变革的弊端,比如:给自然资源造成压力、使用大量有害的化学物质、浪费现象。最后两段提到针对“快时尚”的不良影响,可以采取的解决办法。由此可知,C项统领全文,为正确答案。A, B,D项都不是文章所论述的中心主题。Text 226.【答案】(lower their operational costs)【解析】事实细节题。根据题干,首先定位到首段。这段的大意是广告经费的一半都浪费掉了,但是通过“behavioral ads”可以追踪购买者的搜索习惯和评价,使得广告更有针对性,从而降低预算成本,也就是“this fraction can be much reced”。 A、B和C选项文中并未提及,属于无中生有。27.【答案】(internet browser developers)【解析】词义句意题。the instry在语篇中是指代前面的出现内容,而前面出现的Microsoft Internet Explorer,Apple’s Safair 和Google’s Chrome都是D选项中中的“Internet browser developers”。 B和C选项文中并未提及,属于无中生有。A选项并非本段中谈论的核心。28.【答案】(will not benefit consumers)【解析】推理判断题。解题关键在于“… consumers will be worse off if the instry cannot collect information about their preferences”,也就是说,当浏览器开发者不能收集消费者网上购物倾向时,消费并不能从中受益。B、C和D选项文中并未提及,属于无中生有。29.【答案】(DNT may not serve its intended purpose)【解析】推理判断题。根据题干,可以定位到第六段。解题关键在于理解本段的行文逻辑,即“unable to tell whether…or whether, some may ignore…”。也就是说“由于不能辨别有些主体是真正反对行为广告,也不能辨别它们支持微软的做法,有些人甚至忽视DNT,继续先前的做法。”可此可见,B项符合题意。A、C和D选项内容在本段中均没有提及。30.【答案】(skepticism)【解析】观点态度题。根据题干,可以定位到文章最后一段倒数第二句,Brendon Lynch的博客中评论道:“我们认为消费者应该有更大的自主权(或掌控权)”。解题关键在于最后一句“Could it be really that simple?”,从中可明显看出作者的怀疑态度。A项是“理解”,B项是“赞成”,D选项是“纵容”的意思。Text 331.【答案】 our faith in science and technology 【解析】事实细节题。根据出题的顺序性原则,可回文定位到文章第一段。该段落共计两句话。第一句总体交代了过去人们对未来的畅想总体是积极,正面的(were largely positive)。本题的正确答案就隐含在第二句话中。第二个句子实际上紧接着第一句话,交代了积极畅想的原因在于“科学和技术能治愈人类的一切疾病”,由此可确定本题的正确答案为B。选项A、D都错在因果倒置,“ lives of fulfillment”以及“opportunity for all”都是科学、技术带来的结果,并非原因。选项C属于无中生有,本段并没有提及任何与“ potential risks”相关内容,故排除。32. 【答案】a sustained species 【解析】题干问的是“濒危物种名单(Red List)”意味着人类怎么样了?我们根据“IUCN”和“Red List”很容易定位到第三段。首段说的是几十年前至今人们对未来所持的态度,第二段出现转折,表明目前人们对于未来的危机意识加重。第三段再次转折,表示第二段中人们所持态度是错误的,即“人类未来不会有太大的生存危机”,并且在此段首句表明观点后,用各种信息去论证和支持这一观点。“Red List”很显然也是用来说明这个观点的,并且指出人类这个物种是widely distributed,adaptable,currently increasing,说的都是人类进化积极的一面。A选项说:濒危物种名单意味着人类是可以持久生存的物种,显然是正确选项。33. 【答案】Our Immediate future is hard to conceive. 【解析】段落推断题。由本题的题干可以锁定本题的答案在文章的第五段。该段首句为段落中心句,“与思考眼前的未来相比,对如此之长的时间跨度进行思考似乎更为容易”,反过来思考也就是说,眼前的未来更难思考,符合D选项含义“我们眼前的未来很难去设想”。A选项“Arc 帮助缩小了未来学研究的范围”,该选项在文中出现在该段的最后一句话“这就是为什么我们可以发行Arc这样一个致力于研究近期未来的全新出版物”,和题目含义有很大出入,故排除。B选项“技术为社会问题提供了解决方法”,段中并未提到。C选项“对科幻小说的兴趣与日俱增”,该段中虽在第二句提到科幻小说家,但并未提及对科幻小说的兴趣,故排除。正确答案为D项“Our immediate future is hard to conceive”。34.【答案】 draw on our experience from the past【解析】段落细节题。由本题的题干可以锁定本题的答案在倒数第二自然段第二句,“As so often , the past holds the key to the future . ”此题就是考查对这句话的理解,“未来是掌握过去的关键。”由此确定正确答案为B。选项A 、C、D 与题干无关,在原文中无直接体现,也不能归纳得出,故排除。35.【答案】The Ever-bright Prospects of Mankind【解析】全文的主旨题。考查考生对全文主题的把握。通观全文,我们可发现作者对未来是十分看好的,尤其在文章最后一段最后一句“But we are now knowledgeable enough to rece many of the risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans, and to improve the lot of those to come. ”作者直接借助这句话重申主题。由此,本题正确答案应既包含“未来”,也应能体现出作者对未来的态度。确定选项C为正确答案。选项A错在无中生有,全文当中对于未来,并无体现出对于其的不确定;本文讲的是人类对于未来的看法,而不是讲人类的进化史,因此B错误;D选项过于笼统,并未体现出作者的乐观态度,因此不对。Text 436.【答案】 overstepped the authority of federal immigration law.【解析】事实细节题。principles that federal laws precede state laws are noncontroversial are noncontroversial.说明联邦法律高于州的法律是无可争辩的。答案选项they“overstepped the authority of federal immigration law.”---他们(亚利桑那州的法案)逾越了联邦法案。就是对文中这句话的反义改写。Overstep 为同义替换原文中的intrude, authority 同义替换了privileged powers.属于同义置换。37.【答案】States’ legitimate role in immigration enforcement.州政府在移民法案实施中的合法地位。【解析】第四段主要说明了,州警察依然可以核实移民的法律地位。国会设想joint federal-state immigration enforcement联合实施移民法案。同时,encourages state officers to share information and cooperate with federal colleagues.国会鼓励州警察与联邦同事分享信息以及相互合作。其他选项的withhold,independence,intervention文中也没有提到。属于过度推断。38.【答案】(Stood in favor of the states)【解析】第五段最后一句:唯一的最主要的反对来自法官Antonino Scalia, 这个法官“defense”是支持州的权利的,“going back to”可追溯到Alien and Sedition Acts,证明这个法案是支持州的权利的。39.【答案】(outweighs that held by the states.)联邦政府的权利大过州的实施权利【解析】第六段The White House 认为亚利桑那州的法律跟白宫的法律实施权利冲突。In effect后面表达的是重点:如果这些州的法律跟它有冲突的话,白宫声明它有权利宣布其它州的法律无效。40.【答案】(The Administration is dominant over immigration issues.)(政府在移民问题上占据着主导地位)【解析】本段第一句话,联邦政府确实有一些exclusively(专门地)权利,比如控制居民以及边界。这就暗示了移民问题上,政府当局是具有主导权利的。Part B41.【答案】G (These issues all have root causes in human behavior...)【解析】此题可以通过上下文的衔接和代词指代来确定答案。空格前一句谈到“这种巨大的能源不是当今全球问题的主要影响因素,这些问题包括气候变化、安全、可持续发展和健康问题”,空后谈到“人类有必要的农业技术工具来消除饥饿”,空格处应该填入的选项可以连接前后句的内容,既包括谈及到全球问题,又谈及到解决问题的选项只有G项。该项首句提到的these issues即指代空前所提及的全球问题,以及该项第二句的climate change举例说明即是空前所列出的问题之一,并且该项提及解决气候变化的问题,很好的启示了下文。42.【答案】C (Despite these factors...)【解析】本题可以通过连贯性原则和代词指代来确定答案。上段末句提到“问题也带有社会因素:对食物的组织和分配,财产和财富”,空格后谈到“这是一种耻辱,社会应该抓住机会提升它在真实世界中的影响”,并且应用了社会科学家的话语来表明应该采取行动,即:上段末句提到的问题,空前谈到存在问题,那么接下来应该解决问题,但是空后谈到这是一种耻辱,然后纠正应该解决问题,所以空格处应该承上启下,表达没有解决问题这个含义,因此C项“尽管存在这些因素,很多社会科学家不愿意解决此问题”即为正确选项,该项中these factors指代上段末句提到的社会因素,而“很多科学家不愿意解决此问题”就是下文提及的this。43.【答案】B (However, the numbers are still small...)【解析】本题可以通过原词复现和逻辑关系来确定答案。空前一句讲到“ the number of papers including.....have increased rapidly ...”,紧接着在选项B中也出现了“the number”,属于原词复现。从逻辑关系的角度来看,选项B有一个明显的转折词“however”,这说明其表达的含义与空前信息相反,该选项提到“the numbers are still small”(数量非常小),空前信息是“the number ... increased rapidly”(数量增长非常迅速),两者在语意上构成了明显的转折关系。所以正确答案为B。44.【答案】D (During the late 1990s...)【解析】本题设在段落中间,可以通过段落一致性代词指代来确定答案。该段第一句提到:“The problem is not necessarily the amount of available funding”,其表达的含义是:事情的问题不是可用资金的数目。那接下来要讲的内容一定和资金有关系。空后出现了代词“this is an adequate amount”其含义是:这个资金数目是足够的。那么this指代的内容一定和adequate amount相关,而选项D的题干是“national spending varied from 4% to 25%”,其表述的内容正是资金的总量。因此选项D为正确答案。45.【答案】E (The idea is to force social to integrate...)【解析】本题设空在段落中间,应瞻前顾后地依据连贯性原则确定答案。空前的信息是指欧盟提议取消了之前设定的专门投资支持社会科学家的专栏项目,其目的不是为了忽略社会科学家,而是完全相反,即文章中的“complete opposite”,根据语意衔接,接下来会说明欧盟这一做法的真正目的,并且这一目的对于社会科学家一定是积极的。选项E中的the idea指代空前出现的“it was proposed that...”,即欧盟的提案。除此之外,空后提到了collaborative endeavors,与选项E中的短语integrate with构成了同义替换。空后信息中的global problems与选项E中的health and demographic change, food security, ... and secure societies构成上下义的关系,这也是解题的一道线索,因此,正确答案为选项E。Section III Translation46. yet, when one looks at the photographs of the gardens

Making choice is essential to help determine the direction of our way, and persistence functions as an indispensable driving force to keep up our spirit and to assist us to fulfill our study and work.
