Reading Comprehension (40%)Directions: This part consists of two sections. In Section A, there are three passages followed by a total of 15 multiple-choice questions. In Section B, there is one passage followed by a total of 5 short-answer questions. Read the passages and write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Section A Multiple-Choice Questions (30%)Passage 1Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The head of the Library of Congress is to name Donald Hall, a writer whose deceptively simple language builds on images of the New England landscape, as the nation’s 14th poet laureate today.Mr. Hall,a poet in the distinctive American tradition of Robert Frost, has also been a harsh critic of the religious right’s influence on government arts policy. And as a member of the advisory council of the National Endowment for the Arts during the administration of George H. W. Bush, he referred to those he thought were interfering with arts grants as “bullies and art bashers”.He will succeed Ted Kooser, the Nebraskan who has been the poet laureate since 2004.The announcement of Mr. Hall’s appointment is to be made by James H. Billington, the Librarian of Congress. Mr. Billington said that he chose Mr. Hall because of “the sustained quality of hispoetry, the reach and the variety of things he talks about”. Like Mr. Kooser, Mr. Billington said, “Mr. Hall evokes a sense of place. ”Mr. Hall, 77, lives in a white clapboard farmhouse in Wilmot, N. H., that has been in his family for generations. He said in a telephone interview that he didn’t see the poet laureateship as a bully pulpit. “But it’s a pulpit anyway,”he said. “If I see First Amendment violations, I will speak up.’’Mr. Hall is an extremely productive writer who has published about 18 books of poetry, 20 books of prose and 12 children’s books. He has won many awards, including a national Book Critics Circle Award in 1989 for “The One Day”,a collection.In recent years much of his poetry has been preoccupied with the death of his wife, the poet Jane Kenyon, in 1995.Robert Pinsky, who was poet laureate from 1997 to 2000 said he welcomed Mr. Hall’s appointment,especially in light of his previous outspokenness about politics and arts. “There is something nicely symbolic,and maybe surprising,”Mr. Pinsky said, “that they have selected someone who has taken a stand for freedom.”The position carries an award of $35,000 and $5,000 travel allowance. It usually lasts a year, though poets are sometimes reappointed.31. Donald Hall ________.A. uses simple English to express the images of the New England landscapeB. dislikes the idea of impacting government by the right side of the religionC. is the 14th poet laureate appointed by the CongressD. is a member of the advisory council of the National Endowment for the Arts32. James H. Billington ________.A. likes the poems with great depth and widthB. speaks highly of poems in simple English rather than complex onesC. prefers the poems with sustained style and expressionD. likes the poems with the knowledge of various things33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Mr. Hall has published many books and magazines on poems.B. Mr. Hall is a critic of literature in the U. S.C. Mr. Hall has got many prizes for his talents in writing.D. Mr. Hall has got support from his predecessors.34. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Mr. Hall loves his wife very much.B. Mr. Hall takes the new appointment for granted.C. Mr. Hall has got great ideas from his wife.D. Mr. Hall may hold the position for another year.35. What is the best title for the passage?A. A Guard for Politics and ArtsB. A New Poet LaureateC. A Representative for FreedomD. The Winning of a PoetPassage 2Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Most of us are taught to pay attention to what is said—the words. Words do provide us with some information, but meanings are derived from so many other sources that it would hinder our effectiveness as a partner to a relationship to rely too heavily on words alone. Words are used to describe only a small part of the many ideas we associate with any given message. Sometimes we can gain insight into some of those associations if we listen for more than words. We don’t always say what we mean or mean what we say. Sometimes our words don’t mean anything except “I’m letting off some steam. I don’t really want you to pay close attention to what I’m saying. Just pay attention to what I’m feeling.”Mostly we mean several things at once. A person wanting to purchase a house says to the current owner, “This step has to be fixed before I’ll buy.”The owner says, “It’s been like that for years.”Actually, the step hasn’t been like that for years, but the unspoken message is: “I don’t want to fix it. We put up with it. Why can’t you?”The search for a more expansive view of meaning can be developed through examining a message in terms of who said it, when it occurred, the related conditions or situation, and how it was said.When a message occurs can also reveal associated meaning. Let us assume two couples do exactly the same amount of kissing and arguing. But one couple always kisses after an argument and the other couple always argues after a kiss. The ordering of the behaviors may mean a great deal more than the frequency of the behavior. A friend’s unusually docile behavior may only be understood by noting that it was preceded by situations that required an abnormal amount of assertiveness. Some responses may be directly linked to a developing pattern of responses and defy logic. For example, a person who says “No!”to a serials of charges like “You’re dumb,”“You’re lazy,”and “You’re dishonest,”may also say “No!”and try to justify his or her response if the next statement is “And you’re good looking.”We would do well to listen for how messages are presented. The words, “If sure has been nice to have you over,”can be said with emphasis and excitement or ritualistically. The phrase can be said once or repeated several times. And the meanings we associate with the phrase will change accordingly. Sometimes if we say something infrequently it assumes more importance; sometimes the more we say something the less importance it assumes.36. Effective communication is rendered possible between two conversing partners, if ________.A. they use proper words to carry their ideasB. they both speak truly of their own feelingsC. they try to understand each other’s ideas beyond wordsD. they are capable of associating meaning with their words37. “I’m letting off some steam”in paragraph 1 means ________.A. I’m just calling your attentionB. I’m just kiddingC. I’m just saying the oppositeD. I’m just giving off some sound38. The house-owner’s example shows that he actually means ________.A. the step has been like that for yearsB. he doesn’t think it necessary to fix the stepC. the condition of the step is only a minor faultD. the cost involved in the fixing should be shared39. Some responses and behaviors may appear very illogical, but are justifiable if ________.A. linked to an abnormal amount of assertivenessB. seen as one’s habitual pattern of behaviorC. taken as part of an ordering sequenceD. expressed to a series of charges40. The word “ritualistically”in the last paragraph equals something done ________.A. without true intentionB. light-heartedlyC. in a way of ceremonyD. with less emphasisPassage 3Questions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage:Cellular slime molds are extraordinary life forms that exhibit features of both fungi and protozoa, although often classed for convenience with fungi. At one time they were regarded as organisms of ambiguous taxonomic status, but more recent analysis of DNA sequences has shown that slime molds should be regarded as inhabiting their own separate kingdom.Their uniqueness lies in their unusual life cycle, which alternates between a feeding stage in which the organism is essentially unicellular and a reproductive stage in which the organism adopts a multicellular structure. At the first stage they are free-living, separate amoebae, usually inhabiting the forest floor and ingesting bacteria found in rotting wood, dung, or damp soil. But their food supplies are relatively easily exhausted since the cells’movements are restricted and their food requirements rather large.When the cells become starved of nutrition, the organism initiates a new genetic program that permits the cells to eventually find a new, food-rich environment. At this point, the single-celled amoebae combine together to form what will eventually become a multicellular creature. The mechanism by which the individual members become a single entity is essentially chemical in nature. At first, a few of the amoebae start to produce periodic chemical pulses that are detected, amplified, and relayed to the surrounding members, which then move toward thepulse origin. In time, these cells form many streams of cells, which then come together to form a single hemispherical mass. This mass sticks together through the secretion of adhesion molecules.The mass now develops a tip, which elongates into a finger-like structure of about 1 or 2 millimeters in length. This structure eventually falls over to form a miniature slug, moving as a single entity orienting itself toward light. During this period the cells within the mass differentiate into two distinct kinds of cell. Some become prestalk cells, which later form into a vertical stalk, and others form prespore cells, which become the spore head.As the organism migrates, it leaves behind a track of slime rather like a garden slug. Once a favorable location has been found with a fresh source of bacteria to feed on, the migration stops and the colony metamorphoses into a fungus-like organism in a process known as “culmination.”The front cells turn into a stalk, and the back cells climb up the stalk and form a spherical-shaped head, known as the sorocarp. This final fruiting body is about 2 millimeters in height. The head develops into spores, which are dispersed into the environment and form the next generation of amoebae cells. Then the life cycle is repeated. Usually the stalk disappears once the spores have been released.The process by which the originally identical cells of the slime mold become transformed into multicellular structures composed of two different cell types—spore and stalk—is of great interest to developmental biologists since it is analogous to an important process found in higher organisms in which organs with highly specialized functions are formed from unspecialized stem cells. Early experiments showed which parts of the slime mold organism contributed to the eventual stalk and which parts to the head. Scientists stained the front part of a slug with a red dye and attached it to the back part of a different slug. The hybrid creature developed as normal. The experimenters then noted that the stalk of the fruiting body was stained red and that the spore head was unstained. Clearly, the anterior part of the organism culminated in the stalk and the posterior part in the spore head. Nowadays, experiments using DNA technology and fluorescent proteins or enzymes to label the prespore and prestalk cells have been undertaken. This more molecular approach gives more precise results than using staining dyes but has essentially backed up the results of the earlier dye studies.41. How the slime should be classified used to be _________.A. unknownB. uncertainC. controversialD. unfamiliar42. According to the passage, what is unusual about the slime molds’life cycle?A. They inhabit their own kingdom.B. They are organisms whose classification is ambiguous.C. They alternate between unicellular and multicellular structures.D. They are free-living organisms.43. All of the followings are mentioned in the text as being parts of the multicellular slug EXCEPT ________.A. the headB. the stalkC. legsD. spores44. Why does the author refer to the fungus-like organism as a fruiting body?A. Because it has become one entity.B. Because it is 2 millimeters in height.C. Because it now has a stalk and head.D. Because it has reached its reproductive stage.45. According to the passage, the recent DNA studies _________.A. give similar results to the dye studiesB. contradict the dye studiesC. are less exact than the dye studiesD. have introduced confusion about the dye study resultsSection B Short-Answer Questions (10%)Passage 4Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Barry Schwartz did not expect to feel inspired on a clothes-shopping trip. “I avoid buying jeans; I wear one pair until it falls apart,”says Schwartz, an American psychology professor. “The last time I had bought a pair there had been just one style. But recently I was asked if I wanted this fit or that fit, or this color or that. I intended to be out shopping for five minutes but it took an hour, and I began to feel more and more dissatisfied.”This trip made him think: did more choice always mean greater satisfaction? “I’d always believed that choice was good, and more choice was better. My experience got me thinking: how many others felt like me?”The result was a widely discussed study that challenged the idea that more is always better. Drawing on the psychology of economics, which looks at how people choose what to buy,Schwartz designed a questionnaire to show the differences between what he termed ‘maximisers’and ‘satisficers’. Broadly speaking, maximisers are keen to make the best possible choices, and often spend time researching to ensure that their purchases cannot be bettered. Satisficers are the easy-going people, delighted with items that are simply acceptable.Schwartz puts forward the view, which contrasts with what politicians and salesmen would have people believe, that the unstoppable growth in choice is in danger of ruining lives. “I’m not saying no choice is good. But the average person makes at least 200 decisions every day, and I don’t think there’s room for any more.”His study may help to explain the peculiar paradox of the wealthy West—psychologists and economists are puzzled by the fact that people have not become happier as they have become richer. In fact, the ability to demand whatever is wanted whenever it is wanted has instead led to rising expectations.The search for perfection can be found in every area of life from buying soap powder to selecting a career. Certain decisions may automatically close off other choices, and some people are then upset by the thought of what else might have been. Schwartz says, “If you make a decision and it’s disappointing, don’t worry about it, it may actually have been a good decision, just not as good as you had hoped.”One fact that governments need to think about is that people seem more inclined to buy something if there are fewer, not more, choices. If that’s true for jeans, then it is probably true for cars, schools and pension funds. “If there are few options, the world doesn’t expect you to make the perfect decision. But when there are thousands it’s hard not to think there’s a perfect one out there, and that you’ll find it if you look hard enough.”If you think that Internet shopping will help, think again:”You want to buy something and you look at three websites. How long will it take to look at one more? Two minutes? It’s only a click. Before you know it you’ve spent three hours trying to decide which £10 item to buy. It’s crazy. You’ve used another evening that you could have spent with your friends.”Schwartz, who describes himself as a natural satisficer, says that trying to stop our tendency to be maximisers will make us happier. “The most important recommendation I can give is to lower personal expectations,”he says. “But no one wants to hear this because they all believe that perfection awaits the wise decision maker. Life isn’t necessarily like that.”46. Why may some advice be rejected?47. What confuses experts according to the passage?48. What can be the emotional effect of the result of making a choice?49. How was Schwartz’s research undertaken?50. How can personality be defined in the text?III. Writing (30%)Directions: In this part you are going to write an essay of about 400-500 words within 60 minutes on the topic as follows. Write your response on the Answer Sheet.Some people think that cultural traditions will be destroyed if they are used as money-making attractions aimed at tourists. Others, however, believe that is the only way to save these traditions. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on the issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.。

2016考研英语:2000翻译真题精练精讲一、全真试题Governments throughout the world act on the assumption that the welfare of their people depends largely on the economic strength and wealth of the community.(71)Under modern conditions,this requires varying measures of centralized control and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational research experts.(72)Furthermore,it is obvious that the strength of a country’s economy is directly bound up with the efficiency of its agriculture and industry,and that this in turn rests upon the efforts of scientists and technologists of all kinds. It also means that governments are increasingly compelled to interfere in these sectors in order to step up production and ensure that it is utilized to the best advantage. For example,they may encourage research in various ways,including the setting up of their own research centers; they may alter the structure of education,or interfere in order to reduce the wastage of natural resources or tap resources hitherto unexploited; or they may cooperate directly in the growing number of international projects related to science,economics any industry,In any case,all such interventions are heavily dependent on scientific advice and also scientific and technological manpower of all kinds.(73)Owing to the remarkable development in mass communications,people everywhere are feeling new wants and are being exposed to new customs and ideas,while governments are often forced to introduce still further innovations for the reasons given above. At the same time,the normal rate of social change throughout the world is taking place at a vastly accelerated speed compared with the past. For example,(74)in the early in industrialized countries of Europe the process of industrialization—with all the far-reaching changes in social patterns that followed—was spread over nearly a century,whereas nowadays a developing nation may undergo the same process in a decade or so. All this has the effect of building up unusual pressures and tensions within the community and consequently presents serious problems for the governments concerned.(75)Additional social stresses may also occur because of the population explosion or problems arising from mass migration movements—themselves made relatively easy nowadays by modern means of transport. As a result of all these factors,governments are becoming increasingly dependent on biologists and social scientists for planning the appropriate programs and putting them into effect.二、翻译题解(71)Under modern conditions, thisrequiresvarying measures of centralized control and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational research experts.句子拆分:拆分点参考:标点符号Under modern conditions, //this requires varying measures of centralized control //and hence the help of specialized scientists such as economists and operational research experts.解析:(1)主干结构是一个带双宾语的简单句:measures of...and hence the help of...皆为require的宾语。

2016年考研英语一试题翻译SectionⅠ在柬埔寨,选择配偶对于年轻男性来说是件很复杂的事。

这不仅可能需要男女双方的父母朋友参与,同时也可能需要媒人的撮合。

年轻的成年男子可以自己确定一个合适的配偶,然后请求父母安排与对方家人商讨婚事,或者男方的父母为孩子挑好配偶,在此过程中,孩子几乎没有话语权。

在理论上,女方可以拒绝父母为其选择的配偶。

结婚对象选定之后,双方家庭就会开始调查了解对方,以确保自己的孩子嫁人或迎娶的是一户好人家。

传统婚礼持续的时间长且丰富多彩。

以前,婚礼仪式会持续三天,但到了20世纪80年代时,更为常见的是持续一天半。

佛教僧侣主持简短的讲道仪式,并念诵祝福的祷告文。

婚礼上的活动有仪式性的剪发,将在圣水中浸湿的棉线缠绕在新人的手腕上,以及婚姻幸福并受尊重的夫妇围成一圈,传递蜡烛为新人的结合祈福。

新婚夫妇按照传统会搬进女方父母家中与他们同住长达一年,直到他们能在附近建造一座新房子为止。

(在柬埔寨)离婚是合法且容易实现的,但并不普遍。

离过婚的人会遭受一些非议。

离婚时,夫妻双方的婚前财产仍归自己所有,而共同拥有的财产则会平均分配。

离异者可以再婚,但性别歧视在此时却会显现出来:离异的男性无需等待一定的时间就可以再婚,但女性则必须等待10个月才可以再婚。

SectionⅡText 1以全球时尚创新者身份为荣的法国判定其时尚业已不再拥有定义女性形体美的绝对权。

其立法机关上周初步通过了一项法规,规定雇用超瘦T台模特将会被定为犯罪。

议会还同意取缔那些通过宣传极端节食来“教唆过瘦身材”的网站。

这些措施有几个振奋人心的动机。

这些措施表明美不应该以最终损害健康为代价的外表来定义。

这是一个开端。

对超瘦模特的禁令似乎不仅仅是为了保护模特使其避免(为追求瘦而将自己)饿死——一些模特已死于饥饿。

这项禁令告知时尚业必须为其传递给女性(尤其是十几岁的女孩)的信号承担责任,这种信号涉及她们必须用以决定其个体价值的社会标尺。

翻译练习一,句子练习(中英互译)习题二,段落翻译(中译英)习题:解答:三,段落翻译(英译中)习题:练习解析一句子练习(中英互译)二,段落翻译(中译英)三,段落翻译(英译中)育明教育:提高暑假复习效率的三个万能定律一、鲶鱼效应:一个"竞争"的复习环境很久以前,挪威人从深海捕捞的沙丁鱼,总是还没到达海岸都已经口吐白沫。

然而,有一条渔船却总能带着活鱼上岸。

这是为什么呢?后来,人们才发现原来那条渔船在沙丁鱼槽里放进了鲶鱼。

鲶鱼是沙丁鱼的天敌,鲶鱼不断地追逐沙丁鱼,沙丁鱼拼命游动,激发了其内部的活力,从而活了下来。

这就是"鲶鱼效应"。

"鲶鱼效应"告诉我们:竞争可以激发人们内在的活力。

对于考研的人来说,一个人闷头复习,经常会出现疲倦、无聊等反应。

而这对于复习来说,都是致命的大敌,将会严重影响复习的效率。

那么如果刺激自己,激活自己的内在活力呢?让我们在复习当中引进一条"鲶鱼"吧。

我们复习时,可以找一个复习伙伴。

当然,这个伙伴最好是学习比较努力、学习成绩和自己差不多或者比自己略好的人。

有个这样一个复习伙伴,就可以形成互相竞争、追赶帮带的形势,对自己学习效率的提高无疑是有一定帮助的。

如果找不到这样的复习伙伴呢?也不要紧。

有一位两个月考上研究生的女生说,她在复习的两个月内,作息制度完全按照邻居一位要参加中考的中学生的来。

大家都知道,我们在中考或者高考的时候,那种作息时间是相当规律并且严格的,并且复习的努力程度也是大学生所远远不能比的。

找到了这样一个"鲶鱼",对自己复习的促进效果是显而易见的。

二、酒与污水定律:一个"干净"的复习环境酒与污水定律是指把一匙酒倒进一桶污水,得到的是一桶污水;如果把一匙污水倒进一桶酒,得到的还是一桶污水。

在任何组织里,几乎都存在几个难弄的人物,他们就像果箱里的烂苹果,如果不及时处理,它会迅速传染,把果箱里其他苹果也弄烂。
