When a new movement in art attains a certain fashion, it is advisable to find out
what its advocates are aiming at, for, however farfetched and unreasonable their
principles may seem today, it is possible that in years to come they may be regarded
as normal. With regard to Futurist poetry, however, the case is rather difficult, for
whatever Futurist poetry may be―even admitting that the theory on which it is based
may be right―it can hardly be classed as Literature。
This, in brief, is what the Futurist says: for a century, past conditions of life have
been conditionally speeding up, till now we live in a world of noise and violence and
speed. Consequently, our feelings, thoughts and emotions have undergone a
corresponding change. This speeding up of life, says the Futurist, requires a new form
of expression. We must speed up our literature too, if we want to interpret modern
stress. We must pour out a large stream of essential words, unhampered by stops, or
qualifying adjectives, or finite verbs. Instead of describing sounds we must make up
words that imitate them; we must use many sizes of type and different colored inks on
the same page, and shorten or lengthen words at will。
Certainly their descriptions of battles are confused. But it is a little upsetting to
read in the explanatory notes that a certain line describes a fight between a Turkish
and a Bulgarian officer on a bridge off which they both fall into the river—and then to
find that the line consists of the noise of their falling and the weights of the officers:
“ Pluff! Pluff! A hundred and eighty-five kilograms。”

Bernard Bailyn has recently reinterpreted the early history of the United States by applying new
social research findings on the experiences of European migrants. In his reinterpretation,migration
becomes the organizing principle for rewriting the history of preindustrial North America. His
approach rests on four separate propositions.
The first of these asserts that residents of early modern England moved regularly about their
countryside; migrating to the New World was simply a natural spillover. Although at first the
colonies held little positive attraction for the English — they would rather have stayed home —
by the eighteenth century people increasingly migrated to America because they regarded it as the
land of opportunity. Secondly,Bailyn holds that,contrary to the notion that used to flourish in

Of all the components of a good night’s sleep, dreams
seem to be least within our control. In dreams, a window opens
into a world where logic is suspended and dead people speak. A
century ago, Freud formulated his revolutionary theory that
dreams were the disguised shadows of our unconscious desires
and fears; by the late 1970s, neurologists had switched to
thinking of them as just “mental noise”—the random
byproducts of the neural-repair work that goes on during sleep.
Now researchers suspect that dreams are part of the mind’s
emotional thermostat, regulating moods while the brain is “off-line。” And one leading authority says that, these intensely
powerful mental events can be not only harnessed but actually
brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better.

If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences andproblems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that youunderstand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, theproblems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of theirsecretaries; alternatively if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses。
Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses' convention, of a story which works well because the audience all sharedthe same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by St. Peter. He sees wonderfulaccommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather, and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting ina line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabshis food and stomps over to a table by himself. “Who is that?” the new arrival asked St. Peter. “Oh, that's God,” came thereply, “but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor。”

Since the dawn of human ingenuity, people have devised ever more cunning tools to cope with work that is dangerous,boring, burdensome, or just plain nasty. That compulsion has resulted in robotics—the science of conferring various humancapabilities on machines. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun tocome close。
As a result, the modern world is increasingly populated by intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice butwhose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Ourbanking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trainsare controlled by tireless robot-drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization of electronics and micro-mechanics, thereare already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with submillimeter accuracy—far greaterprecision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone。

Why do so many Americans distrust what they read in
theirnewspapers? The American Society of Newspaper Editors is trying
to answer thispainful question. The organization is deep into a long
self-analysis known asthe journalism credibility project.
Sad to say, this project has turned out to be mostly low-levelfindings
about factual errors and spelling and grammar mistakes, combined
withlots of head-scratching puzzlement about what in the world those
readers reallywant.
But the sources of distrust go way deeper. Most journalists learnto see
the world through a set of standard templates (patterns) into which
theyplug each day’s events. In other words, there is a conventional story
line inthe newsroom culture that provides a backbone and a ready-made
narrativestructure for otherwise confusing news.

When it comes tothe slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn’t biting her
nailsjust yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn’t cutting, fillingor
polishing as many nails as she’d like to, either. Most of her clients spend
$12 to $50 weekly, butlast month two longtime customers suddenly
stopped showing up. Spero blames thesoftening economy. “I’m a good
economic indicator,” she says. “I provide aservice that people can do
without when they’re concerned aboutsaving some dollars。” So Spero is
downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard’s departmentstore near
her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. “I don’t know

In spite of “endless talk of difference,” American society is an amazing machine for homogenizing people. There is “thedemocratizing uniformity of dress and discourse, and the casualness and absence of difference” characteristic of popularculture. People are absorbed into “a culture of consumption” launched by the 19th-century department stores that offered“vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere. Instead of intimate shops catering to a knowledgeable elite。” these werestores “anyone could enter, regardless of class or background. This turned shopping into a public and democratic act。” Themass media, advertising and sports are other forces for homogenization。
Immigrants are quickly fitting into this common culture, which may not be altogether elevating but is hardly poisonous.Writing for the National Immigration Forum, Gregory Rodriguez reports that today’s immigration is neither at unprecedentedlevel nor resistant to assimilation. In 1998 immigrants were 9.8 percent of population; in 1900, 13.6 percent .In the 10 yearsprior to 1990, 3.1 immigrants arrived for every 1,000 residents; in the 10years prior to 1890, 9.2 for every 1,000. Now,consider three indices of assimilation－language, home ownership and intermarriage。

2005年研究生 入学考试英语部分，新题型这部分考查填空式阅读，即常说的七选五出现4次，这充分说明了这个备选题型的成熟性。当然，对比2005、2006、2008和2009的新题型，今年的新题型从话题角度、文章特点、试题难度上和往年的试题还是略有不同。
今年的新题型是一篇涉及文化类的说明文。主要讲的是文化发展过程中的各种关于文化的理论。文章结构清晰，虽然出现了个别的超纲词，比如anthropology, metallurgy,但并不影响考生根据上下文及选项的特征推断出正确选项。
概括得讲解答本题的方法就是找到关于文化的各种代表理论和代表人物，理清思路。全文有全文的主题，段落有段落的主题。只要循着"主题"这根主线，就不能找到正确答案。所以，只要看清每个空前后作为主题的名词，抓根提串，抓住了主题这个"根"，后面的句子就肯定能够串起来。从试题难度来看，本文在篇章的理解上难度适中，中等水平左右的考生应该不难看懂本文的主旨要意。而在选项的设置上有两到试题的答案很容易选出，比如：选项C的意思是，人类的进化有这样一个特征，就是"survival of the fittest"适者生存，并且解释了种族和社会的适者生存观念。因为第一段讲的是Herbert Spencer的"生物和文化进化理论"。并且出现了Charles Darwin，我们都知道Charles Darwin提出了生物界的适者生存，而这里说人类社会的进化也有适者生存这一特征，我们可以首先确定41的答案是选项C。所以有一定基础的考生应该能得到至少4分。而其它三个选项略有干扰性，但只要考生能明晰空格前的句意，抓住解题的关键词，也是易于选出正确答案的。
再如干扰选项D, 因为在段首有人称代词 they 的出现，可以把其作为解题的线索。带入原文发现，如果可以入选的话，也只能放在45处，因为只有在45那一段落中才出现了指代人称的复数形式anthropologists。但发现45这一段落讲的是Historical
