2014年同等学力申请硕士学位英语真题卷答案解析与翻译Dialogue One

(1)从伯尼的回答: no, there were two men and

a girl. 不是的,有两个男人和一个女孩,可见是对警察的否定,警察应该说I thought you said there were three men,因此第1空填A。

(2)伯尼纠正了警察的说法后,应该接着说,我正在说的是另外一个人。第2空填C。

(3)第3空前面提到一个时间,那个时候是1点35分,所以后面应该接上一个这个事件持续的时间,因此第3空填B。

参考译文

这是一个警察和目击者的对话

伯尼:有两个男人,不,好像是三个,他们冲进银行,一个带着枪,个子高的一个人跑到收银台旁边,开始叫嚷着什么,我不太清楚,另外一个喊道“把你们所有的钱都给我”。

警官:我想你说有三个男人对吗?

伯尼: 不是的,有两个男人和一个女孩子,我说的是另外一个男人,他提着一个手提箱,朝着另外一个男人走去。

此第三空填C。

参考译文

这是两个朋友之间关于电影看法的对话

说话者A: 我喜欢看老电影,我认为老电影是最好看的。

说话者B: 虽然老电影都是黑白的,但我同意你的看法。我认为电影更重要的是有一个好的故事情节,而不是颜色。

说话者A: 而且在老电影中没有暴力。

说话者B: 是的,但现在的人不喜欢那样的电影。说话者A: 他们喜欢动作片。

说话者B: 我喜欢好的故事情节。

说话者A: 我想(在电影中)看到和我们现实生活中一样的人。

说话者B: 有着和我们现实生活中的人一样的问题。

说话者A: (其实)现在仍然有人制作这样的电影。

说话者B: 是啊,但是赚不了很多钱。Passage Three

(7)记者提问受访者,哪些科技产品对她而言很重要。受访者列出了三样物品后进行总结,说明原因:她用这三样物品记录她的一切生活。因此本题选D。

(8)这题很容易误选B,因为记者问到受访者一般用电脑干什么,B选项“我在网上购物”看起来正好回答了这个问题。但是通读全文,不难发现第4题后面马上提到网上购物的感受,所以根据上下文衔接的紧凑性,排除B,选A。

(9)根据下句提示,都是在说孩子们,所以主语不可能是I,故排除A、B、D,选C。(10)根据下句提示,15分钟“逛完了”整个超市,由此得出是网上购物,所以推测出受访者也在网上购物,故选B。

参考译文

这是采访者与受访者之间的一段对话。

采访者:陈女士,您能告诉我们哪些科技产品对您而言很重要吗?

受访者:三件吧:夏普笔记本电脑,苹果5手机,奥林巴斯数码相机。我用它们来记录我的所有生活:孩子、艺术、建筑、服装以及我走路时看到

的吸引我的风景。

采访者:那您用电脑主要做什么呢?

受访者:唔,我经常用电脑发邮件。但是现在我也用电脑设计作品,而且还可以立刻把我的构思发给导演和制片人。另外,我也用电脑做很多研究——发现有很多非常棒的网站。

采访者:在家里一般是谁使用电脑呢?

受访者:在家里一直是孩子们霸占着电脑。肯定的,他们会用电脑不断给朋友发邮件,不仅如此,还经常用手机发短信。如果认为我或者他们的父亲没盯着他们时,他们会玩游戏。他们不喜欢做家庭作业,但是在网上是有一些非常好的复习网站的。我现在经常在网上购物,十五分钟就可以逛完一家超市,那感觉妙极了!

Much work is exceedingly tiresome, and an excess of work causes stress and even disease. I think, however, that, provided work is not excessive in amount, even boring work is less harmful than idleness. We sometimes feel a little relief from work; at other times work gives us delight. These feelings arise according to the type of work we are doing and our ability to do that work. Work fills many hours of the day and removes the need to decide what one should do. 参考译文: 我们应该把工作当成快乐的源泉呢?还是视它为一种负担?大量的工作让人极为不爽,超负荷的工作给人造成巨大压力,甚而积劳成疾。然而,我认为:如果工作量不是很大,即便没什么乐趣,也比无聊空虚对身体健康有益。有时我们从工作中获得慰藉;有时工作给我们带来快乐。这些感觉的产生取决于我们所从事工作的类型以及我们自身的工作能力。工作占去了我们一天当中大部分的时间,也不允许我们需要决定应该做什么。 PartⅦWriting 范文 Nowadays, more and more people are concerned about the problem of environmental protection, for the pollution has brought us so many bad influences.

英语同等学力申硕真题及参考答案

Part III Reading Comprehension (25 points) Section A Directions: In this section, there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and mark your answer on the Answer Sheet. Passage One Sometimes a race is not enough. Sometimes a runner just wants to go further. That’s what happened to Dennis Martin and Brooke Curran. Martin, 68, a retired detective form New York City, took up running after his first wife died. Curran, 46, a philanthropist(慈善家)from Alexandria, started running to get out of the house and collect her thoughts. Both she and Martin got good at running but felt the desire to do more. “The more I trained, the better I got,” Curran said,” but I would cross the finish line with no sense of accomplishment.”Eventually , they worked up to running marathons(马拉松)(and longer races) in other countries, on other countries. Now both have achieved a notable -and increasingly less rate- milestone; running the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents. They are part of a phenomenon that has grown out of the running culture in the past two decades, at the intersection of athleticism and leisure: “runcations,”which combine distance running with travel to exotic places. There trips, as expensive as they are physically challenging ,are a growing and competitive market in the travel industry. “In the beginning, running was enough,” said Steen Albrechtsen, a press manager. The classic marathon was the ultimate goal, then came the super marathons, like London and New York. But when 90,000 people a year can take that challenge, it is no longer e xciting and adventurous .Hence, the search for new adventures began.”“No one could ever have imagined that running would become the lifestyle activity that it is today,”said Thom Gilligan, founder and president of Boston-based Marathon Tours and Travel. Gilligan, who has been in business since 1979, is partly responsible for the seven-continent phenomenon. It started with a casual talk to an interviewer about his company offering trips to every continent except Antarctica. And then in 1995, Marathon fours hosted its first Antarctica Marathon on King George Island. Off the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula; 160 runners got to the starting line of a dirt-and ice-trail route via a Russian icebreaker through the Drake Passage. 21. At the beginning, Martin took up running just to . A. meet requirements of his job B. win a running race C. join in a philanthropic activity D. get away from his sadness 22. Martin and Curran are mentioned as good examples of . A. winners in the 26.2-mile race on all seven continents B. people who enjoy long running as a lifestyle activity C. running racers satisfied with their own performance

2014年同等学力申硕英语模拟题精选1-2

Passage Two According to a study, intellectual activities make people eat more than when just resting. This has shed new light on brain food. This finding might also help explain the obesity epidemic of a society in which people often sit. Researchers split 14 university student volunteers into three groups for a 45-minute session of either relaxing in a sitting position, reading and summarizing a text, or completing a series of memory, attention, and alert tests on the computer. After the sessions, the participants were invited to eat as much as they pleased. Though the study involved a very small number of participants, the results were stark. The students who had done the computer tests downed 253 more calories or 29.4 percent more than the couch potatoes. Those who had summarized a text consumed 203 more calories than the resting group. Blood samples taken before, during, and after revealed that intellectual work cause much bigger fluctuations in glucose (葡萄糖) levels than rest periods, perhaps owing to the stress of thinking. The researchers figure the body reacts to these fluctuations by demanding food to restore glucose-the brain’s fuel. Glucose is converted by the body from carbohydrates (碳水化合物) and is supplied to the brain via the bloodstream. The brain cannot make glucose and so needs a constant supply. Brain cells need twice as much energy as other cells in the body. Without exercise to balance the added intake, however, such “brain food” is probably not smart. Various studies in animals have shown that consuming fewer calories overall leads to sharper brains and longer life, and most researchers agree that the findings apply, in general, to humans. And, of course, eating more can make you fat. “Caloric overcompensation following intell ectual work, combined with the fact that we are less physically active when doing intellectual tasks, could contribute to the obesity epidemic currently observed in industrialized countries,” said lead researcher Jean-Philippe Chaput at Laval University in Quebec City, Canada. “This is a factor that should not be ignored, considering that more and more people hold jobs of an intellectual nature,” the researcher concluded. 37. The passage mainly tells us that . A. consuming fewer calories can lead to sharper brains B. thinking consumed more calories than resting C. resting more can make people fat D. brain cells need more energy than other cells in the body
