2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(四)及答案：法学类
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题（四）及答案：法学类 The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems ， and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As on Norwegian politician said last week ： “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”Ever since the war ， the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success ： Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university ， a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south ， and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north ， however. With nearly 100 percent employment ， everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population ， but they are an important part of it ， because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.1.The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to[A] provide more jobs for foreign workers.[B] slow down the rate of its development.[C] sell the oil it is producing abroad.[D] develop more quickly than at present.2.The Norwegian Government has tried to[A] encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources.[B] prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway.[C] help the oil companies solve many of their problems.[D] keep the oil industry to something near its present size.3.According to the passage ， the oil industry might lead northern Norway to[A] the development of industry.[B] a growth in population.[C] the failure of the development programme.[D] the development of new towns.4.In the south ， one effect to the development of the oil industry might be[A] a large reduction on unemployment.[B] a growth in the tourist industry.[C] a reduction in the number of existing industries.[D] the development of a number of service industries.5.Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because[A] they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal.[B] their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal.[C] their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society.[D] they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life.Vocabulary1.Norwegian 挪威的;挪威人2.coastline 海岸线3.recognition 承认;认识;赞赏4.countryside 乡下;乡民难句译注1.A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers.【结构简析】用两个分号连接三句句子。

When Gina Garro and Brian Duplisea adopted 4-month-old Andres from Colombia last month，they were determined to take time off from work to care for him. Six years ago，after their daughter，Melina，was born，the family scraped by on Duplisea's $36，000 salary as a construction worker so Garro，a special-education teacher，could stay home. Now，since Garro's job furnishes the family health insurance，she'll head back to work this fall while Duplisea juggles diapers and baby bottles. His boss agreed to the time off——but he will have to forgo his $18-an-hour pay. It won't be easy. Though Garro's $40，000 salary will cover their mortgage，the couple will have to freeze their retirement accounts，scale back on Melina's after-school activities——and pray that nothing goes wrong with the car. “It takes away from your cushion and your security，”says Garro. “Things will be tight.”The 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act was supposed to help families like Garro's，offering a safety net to employees who want to take time off to nurture newborns，tend to their own major illnesses or care for sick relatives. But while the law guarantees that workers won't lose their jobs，it doesn't cover their paychecks. One survey last year showed that while 24 million Americans had taken leaves since 1999，2.7 million more wanted to，but couldn't afford it. That may change soon. In response to increasing demands from voters，at least 25 states are now exploring new ways to offer paid leave. One possibility：tapping state disability funds. A handful of states——New York，New Jersey，California，Rhode Island and Hawaii——already dip into disability money to offer partial pay for women on maternity leave. But that doesn't help dads or people caring for elderly parents. New Jersey and New York may soon expand disability programs to cover leave for fathers and other caretakers. Thirteen states，including Arizona，Illinois and Florida，have proposed using unemployment funds to pay for leave.Massachusetts has been especially creative. When the state's acting governor，Jane Swift，gave birth to twin daughters in May，she drew attention to the issue with her own “working maternity leave”：she telecommuted part-time but earned her usual full-time salary. Even before Swift returned to work last week，the state Senate unanimously passed a pilot plan that would use surplus funds from a health-insurance program for the unemployed to give new parents 12 weeks off at half pay. Another plan，proposed in the House，would require employers to kick in $20 per worker to set up a “New Families Trust Fund.”Businesses would get tax credits in return. This week Swift is expected to announce her own paid-leave plan for lower-income mothers and fathers. Polls show widespread public support——another reason Swift and other politicians across the country have embraced the issue.Still，not everyone's wild about the idea. People without children question why new parents ——the first group to get paid leave under many of the proposed plans——should get moregovernment perks than they do. Business groups are resistant to proposals that would raid unemployment funds; several have already filed suit to block them. As the economy slows，many companies say they can't afford to contribute to proposed new benefit funds either. Business lobbyists say too many employees already abuse existing federal family-leave laws by taking time off for dubious reasons or in tiny time increments. The proposed laws，they say，would only make matters worse.For Garro and Duplisea，though，the new laws could make all the difference. As Melina fixes a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich，Duplisea hugs a snoozing Andres against his T shirt. “We're trying to do the right thing by two kids，and we have to sacrifice，”Duplisea says. In Massachusetts and plenty of other states，help may be on the way.注(1) 本文选自Newsweek;8/27/2001，V ol. 138 Issue 9，p46，1p，1c注(2) 本文习题命题模仿对象是1997年真题text 1(1，2，3，5题)，第4题模仿1997年真题text 3 的第2题。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（5）Every time Americans tune into local news broadcasts or read daily papers，they are likely to be shocked at the increasing number of serious crimes committed by youths who are only sixteen years old or even younger.It is sometimes difficult to imagine these youngsters behaving like hardened criminals，but statistics continually prove that their crimes are often just as brutal as those committed by their adult counterparts.Inevitably，people begin questioning how successful the juvenile justice system is in reforming these youths and debating whether violent juveniles should be tried as adults in our legal system.I feel there is no question that juveniles convicted of serious crimes should face the same consequences as adults.While the teenage population in the United States has declined over the past decade，violent crimes committed by juveniles have sharply increased.It is common knowledge that the youth murder-arrest rate has climbed dramatically.Examples of teen crime are vivid and terrifying.Newspapers and television frequently report that youths with no apparent motives have shot and killed other people.The effect on both families and society is large.Despite the increase in serious crimes committed by young offenders，the punishment which juveniles receive has traditionally almost never fit the severity of the crimes.Since the system has historically viewed children as not being fully developed，physically or mentally，it has prevented them from being held accountable for their wrongdoing.Although many of these“children”commit horrible crimes，they have been routinely treated as victims of society.Until very recently，1ighter sentences and court proceedings have been the norm.The message they sent to serious juvenile criminals is that crime “pays”because there are no serious consequences for their actions.When the system lacks an element of fear，there is nothing to prevent youthful offenders from committing future crimes.The current trend of assigning adult sentences to youths who commit serious crimes is absolutely just if the punishment is to fit the crime.Most pro-rehabilitation advocates argue that juvenile criminals are completely different from adult ones and should，therefore，be treated differently in the justice system.However，the cost to society is the same regardless of the age of the criminal.What comfort does it give to the family of a killed or injured victim that the person who killed or hurt their loved one was a minor? Families suffer no less because their relatives are shot by young offenders.Instead of treating the loser who murders innocent people like a victim of society，this person should be treated like any other person who victimizes society and causes pain to individuals and communities.Tougher measures must be taken to combat this growing problem of juvenile crime.In today‘s society，too many juveniles count on light sentences given by the juvenile justice wyers can help a vicious criminal receive a short sentence，and return to the streets tocommit more crimes.When there are no harsh consequences of being caught，committing crimes can be perceived as having positive benefits.As a result，juveniles are continuing to become more violent and 1ess concerned with the value of human life.Rehabilitation，recommended by many as the solution to juvenile crime，should be directed only towards youths who have committed minor offenses.However，the juveniles who commit serious crimes should be tried as adults.A message has to be sent that we will no longer tolerate brutal crimes simply because of the age of the criminal.These youths must be held completely accountable for their crimes，suffering harsh consequences and ultimately realizing that they are no longer protected by the law.1.It can be inferred that juvenile criminals are those____.[A]who are under the age of 16 years old[B]who are not accountable for the crimes they commit[C]who can not tell major crimes from minor crimes[D]who are more likely to become victims of the society2.That violent juvenile crimes are on the rise is manifested by the fact that____.[A]penalty for juvenile criminals is becoming more and more serious[B]the society can no longer tolerate juvenile crimes[C]youth murder-arrest rate has dramatically increased[D]the young population has increased in the last ten years3.The reason why young people are becoming increasingly violent is that____.[A]the older they become，the stronger they are[B]they receive lighter punishment than they should[C]they do not know the value of human life[D]there is now too much violence in newspaper and on television4.According to the author，one reason why violent juvenile criminals should suffer the same fate as their adult counterparts is that____.[A]there are as many juvenile crimes as adult crimes[B]they have done equivalent injuries to the victim or the society[C]they are clearly aware of what they are doing at the time of offence[D]no other penalty can prevent them from committing future crimes5.Pro-rehabilitation advocates insist that____.[A]rehabilitation be directed only towards youths who commit minor crimes[B]stricter sentences be given only to youths who commit brutal crimes[C]a different justice system be applied to minors since they are not fully developed[D]minors be held completely responsible for any kind of crimes they commit答案与题解1.[A] 参阅第一段第一句。
2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析
2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析2017年考研英语考试已经结束!店铺考研网在考后第一时间为大家提供2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析，更多考研资讯请关注我们网站的更新!2017年考研英语一阅读真题及答案解析大家也做了题，也发现今年题目并没有传说中那么难，四篇阅读理解前面三篇中等，不是很难。
第四篇和法律有关的文章大家觉得有点难度。
我今年也去考试了，这就是我的证据。
但是我的反面抄了一些答案，当然有些监考不让抄答案，我很潦草地抄了一些，想看它的难度和我们平常所学的能否挂钩。
前三篇不难，第四篇难度和法律相关，有点像2013年的地四篇文章。
其实这篇文章我刚才查了一下原版出处是CNN里的，推翻了弗吉尼亚前州长贪污罪，他是无辜的。
都是英国美国文章居多。
美国有三篇文章。
第一篇是美国机场安检特别浪费时间。
今年特点是有七八个自然段，不是往年一样四五个自然段。
第一道题，这是一个力争题，往年考题也这么说，通过所谓关键词定位方法无效，一定要把握主要内容是讲什么。
这是讲我们目前为什么有必要进行严格的安全检查。
因为埃及航空公司受到了恐怖袭击，在地中海上空受到恐怖主义袭击。
所以现在要严格安检。
这道词选解释作用。
第二题是上面哪个能够解释为什么美国机场排队队伍很长很长。
这道题文章里给了好几个解释。
第一个原因是因为我们现在经济比较好，机票比较便宜，所以很多人愿意排队。
大家都愿意坐飞机，不愿意开车、不愿意坐火车。
导致排队队伍很长。
第二个原因是有些人要打包，第三段里说的，包裹需要检查，有些人打了好多包，为了逃避托运费。
导致排队比较长。
还有一个这里所说的安检效率降低。
但是我们按照前面的最重要的原因，还是因为美国政府没有注意到现在出行坐飞机的人增多了，导致速度减慢。
这是我们飞机出行人员增加。
23题是猜词题，我们不管上基础课、强化课还是单向课，有我的模糊阅读班，猜词题不能相信所谓构词法，按照EX这个单词是出去的意思。
这里EX给人错觉是出去的意思，但是根据上下文是希望安检越快越好。
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题(二十)及答案：法学类
2017年考研英语阅读理解模拟题（二十）及答案：法学类 The existence of both racial and sexual discrimination in employment is well documented ，and policymakers and responsible employers are particularly sensitive to the plight of the black female employee on the theory that she isdoubly the victim of discrimination.That there exist differences in income between whites and blacks is clear ，but it is not so clear that these differences are solely the result of racial discrimination in employment.The two groups differ in productivity ，so basic economics dictates that their incomes will differ.To obtain a true measure of the effect of racial discrimination in employment it is necessary to adjust the gross black/white income ratio for these productivity factors.White women in urban areas have a higher educational level than black women and can be expected to receive larger incomes.Moreover ，State distribution of residence is important because blacks are overrepresented in the South ，where wage rates are typically lower than elsewhere and where racial differentials inincome are greater.Also ，blacks are over-represented in large cities ，and incomes of blacks would be greater if blacks were distributed among cities of different sizes in the same manner as whites.After standardization for the productivity factors ，the income of black urban women is estimated to be between 108 and 125 percent of the income of white women.This indicates that productivity factors more than account for the actualwhite/black income differential for women.Despite their greater education ，white women’s actual average income is only 2 to 5 percent higher than that of black women in the North.Unlike the situation of men ，the evidence indicates that the money income of black urban women was as great as ，or greater than ，that of whites of similar productivity in the North ，and probably in the United States as a whole.At least two possible hypotheses may explain why the adjustment forproductivity more than accounts for the observed income differential forwomen.First ，there may be more discrimination against black men than against black women.The different occupational structures for men and women give some indication why this could be the case.Second ，the data are consistent with the hypothesis that the intensity of discrimination against women differs little between whites and blacks.Therefore ，racial discrimination adds little to effects of existing sex discrimination.These findings suggest that a black woman does not necessarily suffer relatively more discrimination in the labor market than does a whitewoman.Rather ，for women ，the effects of sexual discrimination are so pervasive that the effects of racial discrimination are negligible.1.The primary purpose of the passage is to____.[A] explain the reasons for the existence of income differentials between men and women[B] show that racial discrimination against black women in employment is less important than sexual discrimination[C] explore the ways in which productivity factors influence the earning power of black workers[D] sketch a history of racial and sexual discrimination against black and female workers in the labor market2.The difference between income levels for black and white women is____.[A] less than that for black and white men[B] greater than that for black and white men[C] greater since black women are subject to more discrimination[D] smaller since women can only do low-paying jobs3.Which of the following best describes the logical relationship between the two hypotheses presented in the fourth paragraph?[A] They may both be true since each phenomenon could contribute to the observed differential.[B] They are contradictory ，and if one is proved to be correct ，the other is proved incorrect.[C] They are independent of each other ，and it is hard to establish anyrelationship between them.[D] The two hypotheses are logically connected so that it is impossible to prove either one to be true without also proving the other to be true.4.If the second hypothesis mentioned by the author is correct ，a general lessening of discrimination against women should lead to a(n) ____.[A] higher white/black income ratio for women[B] lower white/black income ratio for women[C] lower female/male income ratio[D] increase in the productivity of women5.The author’s attitude toward racial and sexual discrimination inemployment is one of____.[A] apology[B] concern[C] indifference[D] indignation参考答案：1.[B] 文章最后一段是作者的结论，这段提到两个假设，一是对男性黑人的歧视可能比对女性黑人的歧视更严重;二是对妇女的歧视在黑人和白人之间没有多大区别。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：教育类（10）There was a time when big-league university presidents really mattered. The New York Times covered their every move. Presidents，the real ones，sought their counsel. For Woodrow Wilson and Dwight Eisenhower，being head of Princeton and Columbia，respectively，was a stepping-stone to the White House. Today，though，the job of college president is less and less removed from that of the Avon lady (except the house calls are made to the doorsteps of wealthy alums)。
Ruth Simmons，the newly installed president of Brown University and the first African American to lead an Ivy League school，is a throwback to the crusading campus leaders of old. She doesn't merely marshal funds; she invests them in the great educational causes of our day. With the more than $300 million she raised as president of Smith College from 1995 to 2001，Simmons established an engineering program (the first at any women's school) and added seminars focused on public speaking to purge the ubiquitous “likes”and “ums”from the campus idiom. At a meeting to discuss the future of Smith's math department，one professor timidly requested two more discussion sections for his course. Her response：“Dream bigger.”Her own dream was born in a sharecropper's shack in East Texas where there was no money for books or toys——she and her 11 siblings each got an apple，an orange and 10 nuts for Christmas. Though she was called on her walk to school，entering the classroom，she says，“was like waking up.”When Simmons won a scholarship to Dillard University，her high school teachers took up a collection so she'd have a coat. She went on to Harvard to earn a Ph.D. in Romance languages.Simmons has made diversity her No. 1 campus crusade. She nearly doubled the enrollment of black freshmen at Smith，largely by traveling to high schools in the nation's poorest ZIP codes to recruit. Concerned with the lives of minority students once they arrive at school，she has fought to ease the racial standoffs that plague so many campuses. At Smith she turned down a request by students to have race-specific dorms. In 1993，while vice provost at Princeton，she wrote a now famous report recommending that the university establish an office of conflict resolution to defuse racial misunderstandings before they boiled over.Her first task at Brown will be to heal one such rupture last spring after the student paper published an incendiary ad by conservative polemicist David Horowitz arguing that blacks economically benefited from slavery. “There's no safe ground for anybody in race relations，but campuses，unlike any other institution in our society，provide the opportunity to cross racial lines，”says Simmons. “And even if you're hurt，you can't walk away. You have to walk overthat line.”注(1)：本文选自Time; 9/17/2001，V ol. 158 Issue 12，p70，1p，1c注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象2004年真题text 2.1. What does the author intend to illustrate with the example of Woodrow Wilson and Dwight Eisenhower?[A]The president of the first-class university was really very important.[B]The presidents gave them some good advice.[C]The presidents of the university could easily go to the white house.[D]The presidents had more power and authority than Avon ladies.2. What can we infer from the second paragraph?[A]Simmons was an old crusading campus leader.[B]Simmons wanted to expand her university.[C]Simmons knew well about how to invest the money.[D]Simmons was a competent and ambitious president.3. The 4th paragraph mainly talks about _________.[A]Simmons greatly sympathized the black people.[B]Simmons wanted to diversify her university.[C]Simmons made a great effort to solve the racial problems.[D]Simmons never neglect the racial problems.4.

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（22）Few lawyers did more to help George W. Bush become president than Barry Richard. As Bush's quarterback in the Florida courts during last fall's bruising recount，the white-maned Tallahassee，Fla.，litigator became a familiar figure to TV audiences. He got the GOP equivalent of rock-star treatment when he came to Washington last January for Bush's Inauguration. At one ball，recalls law partner Fred Baggett，a heavyset Texas woman lifted Richard off the floor and planted a big kiss on his cheek，exclaiming，“I love you for giving us our president!”But Richard has discovered that the Bushies' gratitude has its limits. More than four months after the U.S. Supreme Court ended the 2000 election，he and his firm，Greenberg Traurig，are still owed more than $800，000 in legal fees. The firm，which sent 39 lawyers and 13 paralegals into court battles all over the state，is one of a dozen that have so far been stiffed. The estimated total tab：more than $2 million. The situation，NEWSWEEK has learned，has gotten increasingly sticky. While lawyers complain privately about foot dragging (Richard says he's not among them)，Bush advisers are griping about “astronomical”bills——including one from a litigator who charged for more than 24 hours of work in a single day. “What you've got here is a bunch of rich lawyers bellyaching，”says one former Bush campaign official. “Yet these guys got huge in-kind contributions to their reputations out of this.”The lawyers were supposed to get their money from the Bush Recount Committee， a fund-raising vehicle set up when the Florida fight began. A nebulous entity not legally required to disclose how it spent its money，the committee and its chief fund-raiser，Texas oilman (and now Commerce secretary) Don Evans，swiftly collected $8.3 million——more than twice the $3.9 million Al Gore's recount committee raised to pay its lawyers. To avoid charges that the recount was being bankrolled by special interests，the Bushies imposed a $5，000 cap on individual donations，a PR gesture they now regret. After paying off caterers，air charters and the army of GOP Hill types who came to Florida as “observers，”the “kitty ran dry，”says one source.The Bush camp says it intends to pay up. But Ben Ginsberg，the former chief campaign counsel who has inherited the mess，hasn't yet figured out how. As for the law firms，they are taking pains not to alienate their deadbeat clients，for fear of damaging their burgeoning Washington lobbying practices. Greenberg Traurig now represents electric power companies，drug manufacturers and Internet gambling interests willing to pay big money for access to policymakers. Whether Richard and company collect or not，that $800，000 could end up being a smart investment.注(1)：本文选自Newsweek; 04/23/2001，V ol. 137 Issue 17，p28，2/3p，1c注(2)：本文习题命题模仿对象是1995年真题text 3(1，2，3，5题)，第4题模仿1995年真题text 4 的第1题。

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练：法学类（19）By almost every measure，Paul Pfingst is an unsentimental prosecutor. Last week the San Diego County district attorney said he fully intends to try suspect Charles Andrew Williams，15，as an adult for the Santana High School shootings. Even before the tragedy，Pfingst had stood behind the controversial California law that mandates treating murder suspects as young as 14 as adults.So nobody would have wagered that Pfingst would also be the first D.A. in the U.S. to launch his very own Innocence Project. Yet last June，Pfingst told his attorneys to go back over old murder and rape convictions and see if any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools. In other words，he wanted to revisit past victories——this time playing for the other team. “I think people misunderstand being conservative for being biased，”says Pfingst. “I consider myself a pragmatic guy，and I have no interest in putting innocent people in jail.”Around the U.S.，flabbergasted defense attorneys and their jailed clients cheered his move. Among prosecutors，however，there was an awkward pause. After all，each DNA test costs as much as $5，000. Then there's the unspoken risk：if dozens of innocents turn up，the D.A. will have indicted his shop.But nine months later，no budgets have been busted or prosecutors ousted. Only the rare case merits review. Pfingst's team considers convictions before 1993，when the city started routine DNA testing. They discard cases if the defendant has been released. Of the 560 remaining files，they have re-examined 200，looking for cases with biological evidence and defendants who still claim innocence.They have identified three so far. The most compelling involves a man serving 12 years for molesting a girl who was playing in his apartment. But others were there at the time. Police found a small drop of saliva on the victim's shirt——too small a sample to test in 1991. Today that spot could free a man. Test results are due any day.

句子译文：甚至在这场悲剧发生之前芬斯特就支持加利福尼亚州的一项颇有争议的法律。
这项法律规定，以成人身份受审的谋杀嫌疑犯的最低年龄可以降到十四岁。
题目分析1.答案为C，属事实细节题。
文中对应信息“Pfingst told his attorneys to go back over old murder and rape convictions and see if any unravel with newly developed DNA-testing tools.”是对第二段第一句的补充说明。
2.答案为A，属推理判断题。
从上下文我们可以得知，实施“清白计划”就是使用先进的DNA技术来重新审理过去的案件当中可能存在的冤案错案。
