2007 Text 3①During the past generation, the American middle-class family that once could count on hard work and fair play to keep itself financially secure had been transformed by economic risk and new realties. Now a pink slip, a bad diagnosis, or a disappearing spouse can reduce a family from solidly middle class to newly poor in a few months.In just one generation, millions of mothers have gone to work, transforming basic family economics.②Scholars, policymakers, and critics of all stripes have debated the social implications of these changes, but few have looked at the side effect: family risk has risen as well. Today’s families have budgeted to the limits of theirs new two-paycheck status. ③As a result, they have lost the parachuted they once had in times of financial setback –a back-up earner (usually Mom) who could go into the workforce if the primary earner got laid off or fell sick. ④This “added-worker effect” could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad times. But today, a disruption to family fortunes can no longer be made up with extra income from an otherwise-stay-at-home partner.During the same period, families have been asked to absorb much more risk in their retirement income.⑤Steelworkers, airline employees, and now those in the auto industry are joining millions of families who must worry about interest rates, stock market fluctuation, and the harsh reality that they may outlive their retirement money. ⑥For much of the past year, President Bush campaigned to move Social Security to a saving-account model, with retirees trading much or all of their guaranteed payments for payments depending on investment returns. For younger families the picture is not any better. ⑦Both the absolute cost of healthcare and the share of it borne by families have risen –and newly fashionable health-saving plans are spreading from legislative halls to Wal-Mart workers, with much higher deductibles and a large new dose of investment risk fo r families’ future healthcare. ⑧Even demographics are working against the middle class family, as the odds of having a weak elderly parent – and all the attendant need for physical and financial assistance – have jumped eightfold in just one generation.⑨From the middle-class family perspective, much of this, understandably, looks far less like an opportunity to exercise more financial responsibility, and a good deal more like a frightening acceleration of the wholesale shift of financial risk onto their already overburdened shoulders. The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind.31. Today’s double-income families are at greater financial risk in that[A] the safety net they used to enjoy has disappeared.[B] their chances of being laid off have greatly increased.[C] they are more vulnerable to changes in family economics.[D] they are deprived of unemployment or disability insurance.32. As a result of President Bush’s reform, retired people may have[A] a higher sense of security.[B] less secured payments.[C] less chance to invest.[D] a guaranteed future.33. According to the author, health-savings plans will[A] help reduce the cost of healthcare.[B] popularize among the middle class.[C] compensate for the reduced pensions.[D] increase the families’ investment risk.34. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that[A] financial risks tend to outweigh political risks.[B] the middle class may face greater political challenges.[C] financial problems may bring about political problems.[D] financial responsibility is an indicator of political status.35. Which of the following is the best title for this text?[A] The Middle Class on the Alert[B] The Middle Class on the Cliff[C] The Middle Class in Conflict[D] The Middle Class in Ruins【答案解析】31.[C]细节事实题为什么今天的双职工家庭会面临更大的经济风险?根据原文第二段第四、五、六句可知选项[C]“他们更易于受到家庭经济变化的影响”是原文的同义替换,故为正确答案。

2007年英语专四考试真题及答案(3)

2007年英语专四考试真题及答案(3)

2007年英语专四考试真题及答案(3)TEXT B(1) Travelling through the country a couple of weeks ago on business,I was listening to the talk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams’ master work “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” on the radio and thought-I know,I’ll pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them wahat the state of real hitching is today in Britain.(2)I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a single one.(3)When I was in my teens and 20s ,hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport.The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe,North America,Asiaand southern Africa,Some of the lift-givers became friends ,many provided hospitality on the road.(4)Not only did you find out much more about a country than when traveling by train or plane ,but there was that lelement of excitement about where you would finish up that night.Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture.It has books and songs about it .So what has happened to it?(5)A few years ago ,I was asked the same question about hitching in a column of a newspaper.Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking .(6)Rural Ireland was recommended as f friendly place for hitching,as was Quebec,Canada-“if you don’t mind being criticized for not speaking French”.(7)But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places ,the general feeling was that throughtout much of thewest it was doomed.(8)With so much news about crime in the media,people assumed that anyone on the open road without the money for even a bus ticket must present a danger.But do we need to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift?(9)In Poland in the 1960s,according to a Polish woman who e-mail me ,"the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker’s Booklet.The booklet contained coupons for drivers,so each time a driver picked somebody ,he or she received a coupon.At the end of the season,drivers who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes.Everyone was hitchhiking then”.(10)Surely this is a good idea for society.Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down barriers between strangers.It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels.It would also improveeducational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography ,history,politics and sociology.(11)A century before Douglas Adams wrote his “Hitchhiker’s Guide”,another adventure story writer,Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us that what should be the hitchhiker’s motto:"To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.” What better time than putting a holiday weekend into practice. Either put it to the test yourself, or help out someone who is trying to travel hopefully with thumb outstreched.84. In which paragraph(s) does the writer comment on his experience of hitchhiking?A. (3)B. (4)C. (3) and (4)D. (4) and (5)85. What is the current situation of hitchhiking?A. It is popular in some parts of the world.B. It is popular throughout the west.C. It is popular in Poland.86. What is the writer’s attitude towards the practice in Poland?A. Critical.B. Unclear.C. Somewhat favourable.D. Strongly favourable.87. The writer has mentioned all the following benefits of hitchhiking EXCEPTA. promoting mutual respect between strangers.B. increasing one’s confidence in strangers.C. protecting enviroment.D. enrich one’s knowledge.88."Either pu t it to the test yourself…”in Paragraph (11) meansA. to experience the hopefulness.B. to read Adams’ book.C. to offer someone a lift.TEXT CI am afraid to sleep. I have been afraid to sleep for the last few weeks. I am so tired that, finally, I do sleep, but only for a few minutes. It is not a bad dream that wakes me ; it is the realiry I took with me into sleep . I try to think of something else.Immediately the woman in the marketplace comes into my mind.I was on my way to dinner last night when I saw her . She wasselling skirts. She moved with the same ease and loveliness I often saw in the women of Laos. Her long black hair was as shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling . In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue ,green, and white. They meminded me of my childhood and how my girlfriends and I used to spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair.I don’t know the word for “ribbons”, so I put my hand to my own hair and , with three fingers against my head , I looked at her ribbons and said “Beautiful.” She lowered her eyes and said nothing. I wasn’t sure if she understood me (I don’t speak Laotian very well).I looked back down at the skirts. They ahd designs in them: squares and triangles and circles of pink and green silk. They were very pretty. I decided to buy one of those skirts, and I began to bargain with her over the price. It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness.She smiled, more with her eyes than with her lips. She was pleased by the few words I was able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining. We shook our heads in disagreement over the price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was too low. She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough mone y.I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. She smiled openly then, and, for the first time inmonths, my spirit lifted. I almost felt happy.The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in marketplace.I left tears in m y throat. I wanted to cry. I didn’t , of course.I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy.I get up, light a candle and want to look at the skirts. They are still in the newspaper that the woman wrapped them in. I remove the paper, and raise the skirts up to look at them again before I pack them. Something falls to floor. I reach down and feel something cool in my hand. I move close to the candlelight to see what I have. There are five long silk ribbons in my hand, all different colours. The woman in the maketplace! She has given these ribbons to me!There is no defense against a generous spirit, and this time I cry, and very hard, as if I could make up for all the months that I didn’t cry.90. Which of the following in NOT corret?A. The writer was not used to bargaining.B. People in Asia always bargain when buying things.C. Bargaining in Laos was quiet and peaceful.D.The writer was ready to bargain with the woman.91. The writer assumed that the voman accepted the last offer mainly because womanA. thought that the last offer was reasonable.B.thought she could still make much money.C.was glad that the writer knew their way of bargainning.D. was tired of bargainning with the writer any more.92. Why did the writer finally decide to buy three skirts?A.The skirts were cheap and pretty.B.She liked the patterns on the skirts.C.She wanted to do something as compensation.D.She was fed up with further bargainning with the woman.93.When did the writer left the marketplace, she wanted to cry, but did not becauseA. she had learned to stay cool and unfeeling.B. she was afraid of crying in public.C.she had learned to face difficulties bravely.D. she had to show in public that she was strong.94. Why did the writer cry eventually when she looked at the skirts again?A.she suddently felt very sad.B.she liked the ribbons so much.C.she was overcome by emotion.D.she felt sorry for the woman.。

Good Iandladies---those who are superb cooks and launderers, are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guest and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity. The truth is probablysomewhere betwee n the two extremes. If you are lucky, the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reas on able amount of comfort andcompanionship .For the less fortune ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to visit,and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row-provoking if tidy and un tidy guest are livi ng un der the same roof.The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing, with the added difficulties that arise from decidi ng who pays for what, and in what proport ion. One pers on may spe nd hours on the phone, while another rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with guest , how do you persuade the others to go out; how do you persuade them to leave you in peace, especially if you are stude nt and want to study?Con versely, flat shari ng can be very cheap, there will always be some one to talk to and go out with, and the chores, in theory, can be shared.81. Accord ing to the passage, la ndladies are ______A. usually strict.B. always mean.C. adequately compete nt.D. very popular with their guest.82.

There is peace and quiet.TEXT B(1) Traveli ng through the country a couple of weeks ago on bus in ess, I was liste ning to thetalk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams ' master work “ The Hitchhiker ' s Guide to thon the radio and thought-1 know, I ' ll pick up the next hitchhikesee and ask them what the state of real hitch ing is today in Brita in.(2) 1 drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a sin gle one.(3) Whe n I was in my tee ns and 20s, hitchhik ing was a main form of Ion g-dista nee tran sport. The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe, North America, Asia and southern Africa, Some of the lift-givers became frien ds, many provided hospitality on the road.(4) Not on ly did you find out much more about a country tha n whe n traveli ng by train or pla ne, but there was that eleme nts of exciteme nt about where you would finish up that ni ght.Hitchhik ing featured importa ntly in Wester n culture. It has books and songs about it .So what has happe ned to it?(5) A few years ago, I was asked the same question about hitching in a column of a n ewspaper. Hun dreds of people from all over the world resp on ded with their view on the state of hitchhik ing.(6) Rural Ireland was recommended as f friendly place for hitching, as was Quebec,Canada- "if you don ' t mind being criticized for not speaking French ”.(7) But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places, the general feelingwas that throughout much of the west it was doomed.(8) With so much n ews about crime in the media, people assumed that anyone on the ope n road without the money for eve n a bus ticket must prese nt a dan ger. But do we n eed to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift?(9) ln Poland in the 1960s,according to a Polish woman who e-mail me ," the authoritiesintroduced the Hitchhiker ' s Booklet. The booklet contained coupons for drivers, so each time adriver picked somebody; he or she received a coup on. At the end of the seas on, drivers who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with vari ous prizes. Everyone was hitchhiking then ”.(10) Surely this is a good idea for society. Hitchhik ing would in crease respect by break ing down barriers between strangers. It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels. It would also improve educational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography, history, politics and sociology.(11) A century before Douglas Adams wrote his “ Hitchhiker G u ide ” another adventure story writer, Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us that what should be the hitchhiker motto:" Totravel hopefully is a better thi ng tha n to arrive. ” What better time tha n putt ing a holiday winto practice. Either put it to the test yourself, or help out some one who is trying to travel hopefully with thumb outstretched.84.

I have been afraid to sleep for the last few weeks. I am so tired that, fin ally, I do sleep, but only for a few minu tes. It is not a bad dream that wakes me ; it is the reality I took with me into sleep .I try to think of someth ing else.Immediately the woma n in the marketplace comes into my mind.I was on my way to dinner last ni ght whe n I saw her . She was selli ng skirts. She movedwith the same ease and loveliness I often saw in the women of Laos. Her long black hair was as shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling. In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue, gree n, and white. They remin ded me of my childhood and how my girlfrie nds and I used to spe nd hours braidi ng ribb ons into our hair.I don ' t know the word for “ ribbons ” , so I put my hand to my own hair and , with three fin gers aga inst my head , I looked at her ribb ons and said “ Beautiful. ” She lowered her eye said nothing.

They were very pretty. I decided to buy one of those skirts, and I bega n to barga in with her over the price. It is the custom to barga in in Asia. In Laos barga ining is done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefu In ess.She smiled, more with her eyes tha n with her lips. She was pleased by the few words I was able to say in her Ian guage, although they were mostly nu mbers, and she saw that I un derstood someth ing about the soft playfu In ess of barga ining. We shook our heads in disagreeme nt over the price; the n, im mediately, we made ano ther offer and the n ano ther shake of the head. She was so pleased that un expectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was too low. She was being too gen erous and would n ' nb ake eno ugh mon ey. I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a cha nce to lower the price for the larger purchase. She smiled ope nly the n, and, for the first time in mon ths, my spirit lifted. I almost felt happy.The feeli ng stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a n ewspaper and han ded them to me. When I left, though, the feeli ng left, too. It was as though it stayed beh ind in marketplace. I left tears in my throat. I wan ted to cry. I did n ' t, of course.I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I have also learned to defe nd myself aga inst what is soft and what should be easy.I get up, light a can dle and want to look at the skirts. They are still in the n ewspaper that the woman wrapped them in. I remove the paper, and raise the skirts up to look at them again before I pack them. Someth ing falls to floor. I reach dow n and feel someth ing cool in my han d. I move close to the candlelight to see what I have. There are five long silk ribbons in my hand, all different colors. The woman in the marketplace! She has given these ribbons to me!There is no defe nse aga inst a gen erous spirit, and this time I cry, and very hard, as if I could make up for all the mon ths that I did n ' t cry.90.

I pass small bands of stude nts, in my way to work these mornin gs. They have become a familiar part of the summer Ian dscape.These kids are not old eno ugh for jobs. Nor are they rich eno ugh for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once supervised by teachers and principals, they now appear to be “ self care Passing them is like passing through a time zone. For much of our history, after all, America ns arran ged the school year around the n eeds of work and family. I n 19 th-ce ntury cities, schools were ope n seve n or eight hours a day, 11 mon ths a year. I n rural America, the year was arra nged around the grow ing seas on. Now, only 3 perce nt of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk the cows and took mon ths off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age childre n work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus.The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as someth ing holy. But whe n pare nts work an eight-hour day and a 240-day year, it means someth ing differe nt. It means that many kids go home to empty houses.

英语一2005 text3Of 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 mentalevents =dream can be not only harnessed but actually brought under conscious control, to help us sleep and feel better, “It's your dream” says RosalindCartwright, chair of psychology at Chicago's Medical Center. “If you don't like it , change it.”2段Evidence from brain imaging supports this view. The brain is as activeduring REM (rapid eye movement) sleep-when most vivid dreams occur-as it is when fully awake, says Dr, Eric Nofzinger at the University of Pittsburgh. But not all parts of the brain are equally involved, the limbic system (the “emotional brain”)is especially active, while the prefrontal cortex (the center of intellect and reasoning) is relatively quiet. “We wake up from dreams happy of depressed, and those feelings can stay with us all day” says Stanford sleep researcher Dr, William Dement.32.

Unlocking the Depths of the 2007 Postgraduate Entrance Exam English (Part 1) Reading Comprehension Text 3The year 2007 marked a significant milestone for the Postgraduate Entrance Exam, as it witnessed the emergence of a challenging and thought-provoking Reading Comprehension Text 3. This text, with its profound insights and intricate language, presents a unique opportunity for candidates to demonstrate their comprehension andanalytical skills. In this article, we delve into the depths of this text, unpacking its key ideas, vocabulary, and sentence structure, while also offering insights into effective strategies for approaching such challenging reading materials.The text opens with a captivating introduction that immediately sets the tone for the entire passage. The author introduces the topic of "happiness" and its relationship to material wealth, posing a question that is both intriguing and thought-provoking: "Can money buy happiness?" This question, which has perplexed philosophers and economists for centuries, serves as the backdrop forthe entire text, guiding readers through a journey of exploration and discovery.The vocabulary used in the text is both diverse and precise, reflecting the author's mastery of the English language. Key words and phrases such as "subjective well-being," "hedonic treadmill," and "materialistic values" are introduced seamlessly into the narrative, enriching the reader's understanding of the concepts being discussed. These words, while not commonplace, are explained contextually, making them accessible to even those without a background in psychology or economics.The sentence structure throughout the text is complex yet well-constructed, reflecting the author's skill in crafting coherent and engaging prose. Long sentences, packed with information and ideas, are offset by shorter, punchier ones, creating a rhythm that keeps the reader engaged. This variety in sentence length and structure not only adds to the readability of the text but also helps to emphasize key points and ideas.The main idea of the text is that happiness is a subjective experience that cannot be fully captured ormeasured by material wealth. The author argues that while money can certainly improve one's living conditions and provide access to certain pleasures, it cannot guarantee happiness in the long run. Instead, the author suggeststhat true happiness comes from within, from a sense of purpose and fulfillment that is unrelated to material possessions.To support this argument, the author cites various studies and examples from different cultures and time periods. One particularly interesting study compares the happiness levels of lottery winners and paralyzed accident victims, revealing that while the former experienced a temporary surge in happiness due to their windfall, their levels of happiness eventually returned to pre-win levels. Conversely, the latter, despite their tragic circumstances, reported higher levels of happiness over time as they found meaning and purpose in their lives.The text concludes with a call for a shift in focus from material wealth to more intangible aspects of life such as relationships, health, and personal growth. The author argues that by prioritizing these aspects,individuals are more likely to experience true and lasting happiness.Approaching such a challenging reading comprehension text requires a strategic approach. First and foremost, candidates need to familiarize themselves with the key vocabulary and phrases used in the text. This will help them to better understand the ideas and arguments being presented. Secondly, they should focus on understanding the overall structure and flow of the text, identifying key sentences and paragraphs that summarize main ideas or support the author's arguments. Finally, they should practice extracting information from the text quickly and accurately, honing their scanning and skimming skills to identify relevant information efficiently.In conclusion, the 2007 Postgraduate Entrance Exam Reading Comprehension Text 3 is a rich and rewarding text that offers much to learn and ponder. By delving into its depths and mastering its contents, candidates can not only improve their reading comprehension skills but also gain a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between happiness and material wealth. With the right strategiesand approach, this challenging text can become a valuable tool for personal growth and intellectual development.**解锁2007年考研英语(一)阅读理解Text 3的深层次**2007年对于考研来说是一个重要的里程碑,这一年见证了考研英语阅读理解Text 3的出现,该篇文本富有挑战性且引人深思,为考生提供了展示自己理解和分析能力的独特机会。
