2013MBA联考英语试卷(附答案)_2

2013年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试管理类专业硕士学位联考英语（二）真题试卷Section II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions after each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40points)Text 1In an essay entitled ―Making It in America‖ the author Adam Davison relates a joke from cotton country about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated: The average mill has only two employees today, ―a man and a dog. The man is there to feed the dog, and the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is largely because of the big drop in demand because of the Great Recession, but it is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution, which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machine or foreign workers.In the past, workers with average skills, doing an average job, could earn an average lifestyle. But, today, average is officially over. Being average is just wo n’t earn you what it used to. It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor cheap robotics, cheap software, cheap automation and cheap genins. Therefore, everyone needs to find their extra – their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.Yes, new technology has been eating jobs forever, and always will. But there’s been an acceleration. As Davidson notes, ― In the 10 years ending in 2009, factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70 years; roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs – about 6 millions in total – disappeared.‖There will always be change – new jobs, new products, new services. But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution , the beat jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.In a world where average is officially over, there are many things we need to do to buttress employment, but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I. Bill for the 21st century that ensures that every American has access to post-high school education.21. The joke in Paragraph 1 is used to illustrate .A. the impact of technological advancesB. the alleviation of jobs pressureC. the shrinkages of textile millsD. the decline of middle-class incomes22. According to Paragraph 3, to be a success employer, one has to .A. adopt an average lifestyleB. work on cheap softwareC. contribute something uniqueD. ask for a moderate salary23. The quotation in Paragraph 4 explains that .A. gains of technology have been erasedB. job opportunities are disappearing at a high speedC. factories are making much less money than beforeD. new jobs and services have been offered.24. According to the author, to reduce unemployment, the most important is .A. to accelerate the I.T. revolutionB. to ensure more education for peopleC. to advance economic globalizationD. to pass more bills in the 21st century25. Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?A. Technology Goes CheapB．New Law Takes EffectC. Recession Is BadD. Average Is Over参考答案：ACBBDText 2A century ago, the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners. Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came, those who had no intengtion to stay, and who would make some money and then go home. Between 1908 and 1915, about 7 million people arrived while about 2 million departed. About a quarter of all Italian immigrants, for example, eventually returned to Italy for good. They even had an affectionate nickname,‖ uccelli dipassaggio,‖ birds of passage.Today, we are much more rigid about immigrants. We divide newcomers into two categories: legal or illegal, good or bad. We hail them as Americans in the making, or brand them as aliens fit for deportation. That framework has contributed mightily to our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it.Crop pickers, violinists, construction workers, entrepreneurs, engineers, home health-care aides and particle physicists are among today’s birds of passage. They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work, money and ideas. They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them. They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.With or without permission, they straddle laws, jurisdictions and identities with ease. We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever. We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle. Looking beyond the culture new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle. Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes, including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.26.‖Birds of passage‖refers to those who_____.[A]find permanent jobs overseas[B]leave their home countries for food[C]immigrate across the Atlantic[D]stay in a foreign country temporarily27.It is implied in paragraph 2 that the current immigration system in the US_____.[A]needs new immigrant categories[B]has loosened control over immigrants[C]should be adapted to meet challenges[D]has been fixed via political means28.According to the author, today`s birds of passage want______.[A]financial incentives[B]a global recognition[C]opportunities to get regular jobs[D]the freedom to stay and leave29.The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated______.[A]as faithful partners[B]with legal tolerance[C]with economic favors[D]as mighty rivals30.The most appropriate title for this text would be_____.[A]Come and Go:Big Mistake[B]Living and Thriving:Great Risk[C]Legal or Illegal: Big Mistake[D]With or Without:Great Risk参考答案：DCDBCText 3Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions, if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react, we can reduce even eliminate the negative effects of our quick, hard-wired responses.Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms; if we are judging whether someone is dangerous, our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly, within milliseconds. But we need more time to access other factors. To accurately tell whether someone is social, studies show, we need at least a minute, preferably five. It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality,like neuroticism or open-mindedness.But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t excusive to the interpersonal realm. Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a milliseconds primes us to read 20 percent faster, even though reading has little to do with eating. We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing. Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.Yet we can reverse such influences. If we know we will overreact to customer products or housing options when we see a happy face ( one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling), we can take a moment before buying. If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants, we can help screeners understand their biases – or hire outside screeners.John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly ―thin slice‖ information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in ―thick sliced‖long-term study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a much longer evaluation: two days, not two seconds.Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by passing is what differentiates us from animals: the dogs can thinks about future only intermittently or for a few minutes . but historically we have spent about 12 percent our days contemplating the longer term. Although technology might change the way we changed our nature. We will have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.31. The time needed in making decisions may .A. vary according to the urgency of the situationB. prove the complexity of our brain reactionC. depend on the importance of assessmentD. predetermine the accuracy of out judgment32. Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snap decisions .A. can be associativeB. are not unconsciousC. can be dangerousD. are not impulse33. To reverse the negative effects of snap decisions, we should .A. trust our first impressionB. do as people usually doC. think before we actD. ask for expert advices34. John Gottman says that reliable snap reactions are based on .A. critical assessmentB. ―thin sliced‖ studyC. sensible explanationD. adequate information35. The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is .A. tolerantB. uncertainC. optimisticD. doubtful参考答案：DACDCText 4Europe is not a gender-equality heaven. In particular, the corporate workplace will never be completely family-friendly until women are part of senior management decisions, and Europe’s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male. Indeed, women hold only 14 percent of positions on European corporate boards.The European Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women-up to 60%. This proposed mandate was born of frustration. Last year, European Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action. Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goals of 40% female board membership. The Forte foundation in America has now flowed suit with its own list of ―board-ready women.‖ But Reding’s appeal in Europe was considered a failure: only 24 companies took it up.Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate ladder fairly as they balance work and family?―Personally, I don’t like quotas,‖ Reding said recently. ―But I like what the quotas do.‖ Quotas get action: they ―open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,‖ according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.I understand Reding’s reticence --- and her frustration. I don’t like quotas either; they run counter to my belief in meritocracy, governance by the capable. But, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as well as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top positions --- no matter how much ―soft pressure‖ is put upon them. When women do break through to the summit of corporate power --- as, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook --- they garner massiver attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.Of appropriate public policies were in place to help all women --- whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers --- and all families, Sandberg would e no more newswarthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.36. In the European corporate workplace, generally _______.[A] women take the lead[B] men have the final say[C] corporate governance is overwhelmed[D] senor management is family-friendly37. The European Union’s intended legislation is _______.[A] a reflection of gender balance[B] a reluctant choice[C] a response to Reding’s call[D] a voluntary action38. According to Reding, quotas may help women ________.[A] get top business positions[B] see through the glass ceiling[C] balance work and family[D] anticipate legal results39. The author’s attitude toward REding’s appeal is one of _______.[A] skepticism[B] objectiveness[C] indifference[D] approval40. Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of _____.[A] more social justice[B] massive media attention[C] suitable public policies[D] greater ―soft pressure ‖36. 细节题：选B，要含有男性的这个对象，男性主导37. 细节题：选B，选择有陷阱的，干扰项C。

2013在职工程硕士英语阅读理解练习和答案

2013在职工程硕士英语阅读理解练习和答案Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something to the public. Not only does he want so say it well, but he wants it to be something which has not been said before. He hopes the public will listen and understand - he wants to teach them, and he wants them to learn from him. What visual artists like painters want to teach is easy to make out but difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless billions possible, is exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us. Without their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes and colors, or have felt the delight which they brought to the artist. Most artists take their shapes and colors from the world of nature and from human bodies in motion and repose; their choicesindicate that these aspects of the world are worth looking at, that they contain beautiful sights. Contemporary artists might say that they merely choose subjects that provide an interesting pattern, that there is nothing more in it. Yet even they do not choose entirely without reference to the character of their subjects. If one painter chooses to paint a gangrenous(生坏疽的) leg and another a lake in moonlight, each of them is directing our attention to a certain aspect of the world. Each painter is telling us something, showing us something, emphasizing something---all of which mean that, consciously or unconsciously, he is trying to teach us.1. All artists are common in that _____.[A] they use shapes and colors instead of words[B] they are trying to teach the public[C] what they want to teach is difficult to explain[D] they want to learn from the public2. A painter chooses certain shapes and colors out of the countless billions possible because he believes they _____.[A] are beautiful[B] can bring delight to him[C] are worth showing to the public[D] are particular3. Contemporary artists choose subjects _____.[A] without reference to the character of their subjects[B] that only provide an interesting pattern[C] that there is no meaning in it[D] partly for the meaning of the subjects4. Comparing the painter who paints a gangrenous leg with the one who paints a lake in moonlight,we can draw the conclusion that _____.[A] both convey the same meaning[B] both show certain aspects of the world[C] the latter is more meaningful[D] the former is more meaningful5. According to the passage,which of the follwoing statements is true?[A] The public could share the artist’s feelings through their choice of shapes and colors.[B] The painter should not choose to paint uglythings.[C] Contemporary artists are completely different from other artists.[D] All artists are teaching the public consciously.参考答案：B C B B AIn Switzerland, six miles west of Geneva, lies a collection of laboratories and buildings, and most curious of all, a circular mound of earth more than 650 feet in diameter. This cluster has unique importance. It is Europe’s one and only atomic city dedicated to investigating the atom for peaceful purposes. The strange buildings belong to the European Council for Nuclear Research, more popularly known, from its French initials, as CERN. The council was born when a handful of statesman and scientific experts met in Paris in 1950. Their aim was to “establish an organization providing for collaboration among European states in nuclear research of a pure scientific and fundamental character”. The CERN agreement was signed in 1953, and work on th e atomic city began in 1954. Today CERN’s facilities are among the most modern and the mostdiversified ones in the world. Impressive as the scientific aspect may be, the real significance of CERN may lie with the thousand people---the scientists, lab workers, and administrative crew drawn from the fourteen member nations---who populate it. British engineers work side by side with Swiss electricians, Yugoslav nuclear physicists, and Dutch mathematicians. The official languages are French and English, with German an unofficial third. But CERN is no tower of Babel---the language of science is universal and all embracing.1. The laboratories and buildings discussed in the passage belong to _____.[A] a private research organization[B] Switzerland[C] the European Council for Nuclear Research[D] the United Nationa2. The cluster has unique significance because it is _____.[A] Europe’s only atomic city[B] a city devoted to nuclear research[C] a city dedicated to investigating the atomfor peaceful purposes[D] a clearing house for the world’s nuclear research3. CERN’s facilities for research are _____.[A] limited but effective[B] among the best in the world[C] rapidly expanding[D] both a and c4. The passage says that CERN is not a tower of Babel because _____.[A] work is the common denominator of all the staff[B] the language of science is universal[C] CERN had adopted only two official languages[D] all the workers are drawn from one country5. The real significance of CERN may lie in its staff because they _____.[A] work in international harmony[B] come from all over the world[C] are investigating all phases of human conduct[D] are eliminating the problems of individual rationalism参考答案：C C B B A How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down, these sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we call words.The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds, Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style(文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaningin words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar(粗俗的).1. Which is true about origin of language?[A] Men,as well as animals,invented certain sounds to express thoughts.[B] The origin of language is a complicated question.[C] Words did not have written form,at first.[D] Words were invented to represent meanings.2. The power of words lies in _____.[A] the fact that it can associate the things in the world with the ideas in our mind[B] the fact that one word is connected with another[C] the fact that it can associate one person with another[D] the fact that it can recall to us the events of our past3. In order not to make our speech silly andvulgar,we should _____.[A] use words that can move men to tears[B] choose words with care and accuracy[C] become a master of words[D] use words which sing like music4. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?[A] The more we read and learn,the larger our vocabulary will be.[B] The longer we live,the number of words that mean something to us increases.[C] Words can be used to represent various meanings.[D] Literary style a usually very charming.5. The best title for this passage would be _____.[A] The meaning of words[B] The characteristics of words[C] The origin of words[D] The power of words参考答案：C A B B D There are various way in which individual economic units can interact with one another.Three basic ways may be described as the market system,the administered system,and the traditionalsystem.In a market system individual economic units are free to interact each other the the marketplace.It is possible to buy commodities from other economic units or sell commodities to them.In a market,transcations may take place via barter or money exchange. In a barter economy,real goods such as automobiles,shoes,and pizzas are traded against each other.Obviously,finding somebody who wants to trade my old car in exchange for a sailboat may not always be an easy task.Hence,the introduction of money as a medium of exchange eases transactions considerably.In the modern market economy,goods and services are bought or sold for money.An alternative to the market system is administrative control by some agency over all transactions.This agency will issue edicts or commands as to how much of each kind of goods and services should be produced,exchanged,and consumed by each economic unit.Central planning may be one way of administering such an economy.The central plan.drawn up by government,shows amounts of each commodity produced bythe various firms and allocated to different households for consumption.This is an example or complete planning of production,consumption,and exchange for the whole economy.In a traditional society,production and consumption patterns are governed by tradition:every person’s place with--in the economic system is fixed by parentage,religion,and custom.Transactions take place on the basis of tradition,too.People belonging to a certain group of caste may have an obligation to care for other persons,provide them with food and shelter,care for their health,and provide for their education.Clearly,in a system where every decision is made on the basis of tradition alone,progress mey be difficult to achieve,a stagnant society may result.1. What is the main purpose of the passage?[A] To outline constrasting types of economic system[B] To explain the science of economics[C] To argue for the superiority of one economic system[D] To compare barter and money--exchangemarkets2. In the second paragraph,the word “real” in “real goods” could best be replaced by which of the following?[A] high quality[B] concrete[C] utter[D] authentic3. According to the passage,a barter economy can lead to _____.[A] rapid speed of transactions[B] misunderstandings[C] inflation[D] difficultied for the traders4. According to the passage,who has the greatest degree of control in an administered system?[A] Individual households[B] Small businesses[C] Major corporations[D] The government5. Which of the following is not mentioned by the author as a criterion for determining a person’s placein a traditional society?[A] Family background[B] Age[C] Religious belief[D] Custom参考答案：A B D D B In science the meaning of the word “explain” suffers with civilization’s every step in search of reality.Science can not really explain electricity,magnetism,and gravition;their effects can be measured and predicted,but of their nature no more is known to the modern scientist than to Thales who first looked into the nature of the electrification of physicists reject the notion that man can ever discover what these mysterious forces “really” are. Electricity, Bertrand Russell says,is n ot a thing,like St.Paul’s Cathedral;it is a way in which things behave.When we have told how things behave when thry are electrified,and under what circumstances they are electrified,we have told all there is to tell.Until recently scientists would have disapproved of such an idea.Aristotle,for example,whose natural science dominated Western thought for two thousandyears,believed that man could arrive at an understanding of reality by reasoning fromself-evident principle.He felt,for example,that it is a self-evident principle that everything in the universe has its proper place,hence one can deduce that objects fall to the groud because that’s where they belong,and smoke goes up because that’s where it belongs.The goal of Aristotelian science was to explain why things happen.Modern science was born when Galileo began trying to explain how things happen and thus originated the method of controlled experiment which now forms the basis of scientific investigation.1. The aim of controlled scientific experiments is _____.[A] to explain why things happen[B] to expalin how things happen[C] to describe self-evident principles[D] to support Aristelian science2. What principles most influenced scientific thought for two thoudsand years?[A] The speculations of Thales.[B] The forces of electricity,magnetism andgravity.[C] Aristotle’s natural science.[D] Galileo’s discoveries.3. Bertrand Russell’s notion about electricity is _____.[A] disapproved of by most modern scientists[B] in agreement with Aristotle’s theory of self-evident principle[C] in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “how” things happen[D] in agreement with scientific investigation directed toward “why” things happen4. The passage says that until recently scientific _____.[A] that there are mysterious forces in the universe[B] that man cannot discover what forces “really” are[C] that there are self-evident principle[D] that we can discover why things behave as they do5. Modern science came into being _____.[A] when the method of controlled experiment was first introduced[B] when Galileo succeeded in explaining how things happen[C] when Aristelian scientists tried to explain why things happen[D] when scientists were able to acquire an understanding of reality by reasoning参考答案：B C C B AThe food we eat seems to have profound effects on our health. Although science has made enormous steps inmaking food more fit to eat,it has,at the same time,made many foods unfit to eat.Some research has shown that perhaps eighty percent of all human illnesses are related to diet and forty percent of cancer is related to the diet as well,especially cancer of the colon.Difficult cultures are some prone to contract certain illnesses because of the food that is characteristic in these cultures.That food is related to illness is not a new discovery.In1945,government researchers realized that nitrates and nitrites,commonly used to preserve color in meats,and other food additives,caused cancer.Yet,thesecarcinogenic additives remain in our food,and it becomes more difficult all the time to know which things on the packaging labels of processed food are helpful or harmful.The additives which we eat are not all so direct.Farmers often give penicillin to beef and poultry and because of this,penicillin has been found in the milk of treated cows.Sometimes similar drugs are administered(given) to animals not for medicinal purposes, but for financial reasons.The farmers are simply trying to fatten the animals in order to obtain a higher price on the market.Although the Food and Drug Administration has tried repeatedly to control these procedures,the practices continue.1. How has science done a disservice to manmind?_____.[A] Because of science,disease caused by contaminated food has been virtually done away with[B] It has caused a lack ofinformation,concerning the value of food[C] As a result of scientific intervention,some potentially harmful substances have been added to our food[D] The scientists have preserved the color of meats,but not of vegetables2. What are nitrates used for? _____.[A] They preserve flavor in packaged foods[B] They preserve the color of meats[C] They are the objects of research[D] They cause the animals to become fatter3. What does FDA mean as an organization? _____.[A] Food Direct Additives[B] Final Difficult Analysis[C] Food and Drug Administration[D] Federal Dairy Additives4. The word carcinogenic means most nearly the same as _____.[A] trouble-making[B] color-retaining[C] money-making[D] cancer-causing5. Which of the following statements is not true? _____.[A] Drugs are always given to animals for medical reasons。

2013年在职联考英语阅读练习题Passage 1As providers and caretakers, adults tend to view the world of children as happy and carefree. After all, kids don’t have jobs to keep or bills to pay, so what could they possibly have to worry about?Plenty! Even very young children have worries and feel stress to some degree. Stress is a function of the demands placed on us and our ability to meet them.Pressures often come from outside sources, but they can also come from within. The pressure we place on ourselves can be most significant because there is often a discrepancy between what we think we ought to be doing and what we are actually doing in our lives.Stress can affect anyone who feels overwhelmed —even kids. In preschoolers, separation from parents can cause anxiety. As kids get older, academic and social pressures create stress.Many kids are too busy to have time to play creatively or relax after school. Kids who complain about the number of activiti es they’re involved in or refuse to go to them may be signaling that they’re overscheduled.Talk with your kids about how they feel about extracurricular activities. If they complain, discuss the pros and cons of quitting one activity. If quitting isn’t an option, explore ways to help manage your child’s time and responsibilities so that they don’t create so much anxiety.Kids’ stress may be intensified by more than just what’s happening in their own lives. Do your kids hear you talking about troubles at work, worrying about a relative’s illness, or fighting with your spouse about financial matters? Parents should watch how they discuss such issues when their kids are near because children will pick up on their parents’ anxieties and start to worry themselves.World news can cause stress. Kids who see disturbing images on TV or hear talk of natural disastersmay worry about their own safety and that of the people they love. Talk to your kids about what they see and hear, and monitor what they watch on TV so that you can help them understand what’s going on.Also, be aware of complicating factors, such as an illness, death of a loved one, or a divorce. When these are added to the everyday pressures kids face, the stress is magnified. Even the most amicable divorce can be a difficult experience for kids because their basic security system — their family — is undergoing a tough change.6. What does the first paragraph want to convey?A. Kids will easily suffer stress too.B. children are happy and carefree all the time.C. very young children do not have worries and stress at any time.D. kids don’t have stress because they don’t have to work7. Which is the following is true?A. only young children have worries and feel stress to some degree.B. the stress is magnified only when the children are being scolded.C. Pressures of children not only come from outside sources but also from inside ones.D. the pressure we place on ourselves does not matter at all.8. Why is the pressure we place on ourselves can be most significant?A. Because difference exists between what we think we should do and what we actually do inour lives.B. Because pressure often come from outside sources.C. Because pressure often come from inside sources.D. Nobody can escape from pressure.9. What does the word Overwhelmed mean?A. stressedB. over pleasedC. angryD. upset10. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How kid’s stress are intensified.B. How the stress is magnified.C. World news can cause stress.D. Sources of Stress of kids and ways to do with it.Passage 2Biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a divide world, laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor. Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the worldwide popularity of Charlie Chaplin’s early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from.A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lot sided view of things.This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into totaldespair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver’s Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they can’t agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourishin totalitarian regimes.11. The most important of all human qualities is _____.A. a sense of humorB. A sense of satireC. A sense of laughterD. A sense of history12. The author mentions about Charlie Chaplin’s early films because ______.A. they can amuse peopleB. Human beings are different from animalsC. They show that certain comic stereotypes have a universal appealD. They show that people have the same ability to laugh13. One of the chief functions of irony and satire is ______.A. to show absurdity of actionsB. to compensate balanceC. to take the wind out of politiciansD. to show too much grimness in the world14. What do we learn from the sentence “it is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish intotalitarian regimes?”A. It can reveal the truth of political events with satire.B. It can arouse people to riot.C. It shows tragedy and comedy are related.D. It can make people laugh.15. Who is Swift?A. A novelistB. A poetC. A dramatistD. An essayist此文有环球卓越整理发布，转载请注明！。

As kids get older, academic and social pressures create stress.Many kids are too busy to have time to play creatively or relax after school. Kids who complain about the number of activiti es they’re involved in or refuse to go to them may be signaling that they’re overscheduled.Talk with your kids about how they feel about extracurricular activities. If they complain, discuss the pros and cons of quitting one activity. If quitting isn’t an option, explore ways to help manage your child’s time and responsibilities so that they don’t create so much anxiety.Kids’ stress may be intensified by more than just what’s happening in their own lives. Do your kids hear you talking about troubles at work, worrying about a relative’s illness, or fighting with your spouse about financial matters? Parents should watch how they discuss such issues when their kids are near because children will pick up on their parents’ anxieties and start to worry themselves.World news can cause stress. Kids who see disturbing images on TV or hear talk of natural disastersmay worry about their own safety and that of the people they love. Talk to your kids about what they see and hear, and monitor what they watch on TV so that you can help them understand what’s going on.Also, be aware of complicating factors, such as an illness, death of a loved one, or a divorce. When these are added to the everyday pressures kids face, the stress is magnified. Even the most amicable divorce can be a difficult experience for kids because their basic security system — their family — is undergoing a tough change.6. What does the first paragraph want to convey?A. Kids will easily suffer stress too.B. children are happy and carefree all the time.C. very young children do not have worries and stress at any time.D. kids don’t have stress because they don’t have to work7. Which is the following is true?A. only young children have worries and feel stress to some degree.B. the stress is magnified only when the children are being scolded.C. Pressures of children not only come from outside sources but also from inside ones.D. the pressure we place on ourselves does not matter at all.8. Why is the pressure we place on ourselves can be most significant?A. Because difference exists between what we think we should do and what we actually do inour lives.B. Because pressure often come from outside sources.C. Because pressure often come from inside sources.D. Nobody can escape from pressure.9. What does the word Overwhelmed mean?A. stressedB. over pleasedC. angryD. upset10. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How kid’s stress are intensified.B. How the stress is magnified.C. World news can cause stress.D. Sources of Stress of kids and ways to do with it.Passage 2Biologically, there is only one quality which distinguishes us from animals: the ability to laugh. In a divide world, laughter is a unifying force. Human beings oppose each other on a great many issues. Nations may disagree about systems of government and human relations may be plagued by ideological factions and political camps, but we all share the ability to laugh. And laughter, in turn, depends on that most complex and subtle of all human qualities: a sense of humor. Certain comic stereotypes have a universal appeal. This can best be seen from the worldwide popularity of Charlie Chaplin’s early films. The little man at odds with society never fails to amuse no matter which country we come from.A sense of humor may take various forms and laughter may be anything from a refined tingle to an earth quaking roar, but the effect is always the same. Humor helps us to maintain a correct sense of values. It is the one quality which political fanatics appear to lack. If we can see the funny side, we never make the mistake of taking ourselves too seriously. We are always reminded that tragedy is not really far removed from comedy, so we never get a lot sided view of things.This is one of the chief functions of satire and irony. Human pain and suffering are so grim; we hover so often on the brink of war; political realities are usually enough to plunge us into totaldespair. In such circumstances, cartoons and satirical accounts of somber political events redress the balance. They take the wind out of pompous and arrogant politicians who have lost their sense of proportion. They enable us to see that many of our most profound actions are merely comic or absurd. We laugh when a great satirist like Swift writes about war in Gulliver’s Travels. The Lilliputians and their neighbors attack each other because they can’t agree which end to break an egg. We laugh because we meant to laugh; but we are meant to weep too. It is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourishin totalitarian regimes.11. The most important of all human qualities is _____.A. a sense of humorB. A sense of satireC. A sense of laughterD. A sense of history12. The author mentions about Charlie Chaplin’s early films because ______.A. they can amuse peopleB. Human beings are different from animalsC. They show that certain comic stereotypes have a universal appealD. They show that people have the same ability to laugh13. One of the chief functions of irony and satire is ______.A. to show absurdity of actionsB. to compensate balanceC. to take the wind out of politiciansD. to show too much grimness in the world14. What do we learn from the sentence “it is too powerful a weapon to be allowed to flourish intotalitarian regimes?”A. It can reveal the truth of political events with satire.B. It can arouse people to riot.C. It shows tragedy and comedy are related.D. It can make people laugh.15. Who is Swift?A. A novelistB. A poetC. A dramatistD. An essayist此文有环球卓越整理发布，转载请注明！。

2013十月联考--英语--模考试题(2套)参考答案

答案：1---10A C C D C A B C A C11—20C B D B D D C A A D21—30C A D B A D A C A C31---40A B C D D C C A D A41—50D B B A B C B C A D51---60A D D B C C A B A C61:劳役和玩乐之间是工作。

一个对获得社会支付的职业感兴趣的人就是工作者；从社会角度来看必须付出的劳动而在个人来看就是自愿选择的娱乐。

一个职业是归类为劳役还是工作不是看其职业本身，而是看从事这一职业的个人爱好。

比如，这个差异并不是体力劳动与脑力劳动之间的差异；一个花匠或皮匠可以是个工作者，而一个银行职员则可能是苦役者。

对此从他对休闲的态度就可以看出。

对于工作者来说，休闲只是他为了更有效地工作而放松休息的时间，因此他花费的休闲时间很可能太少而非太多，他（劳动者）常常死于冠心病或忘记他妻子的生日。

而对于劳役者来说，休闲就是摆脱强制，因此对他来说自然是劳作时间越少而玩的时间越多越好。

62:Recently,the living condition of some college students is frequently referred to as “dwelling-narrowness”.In fact,this embarrassing situation is very serious that few of us can fail to meditate on the causes of it.In the first place,it’s difficult for graduates to bear the high cost of life in big cities.Poor payment thus gives rise to bad living conditions.Next,college students are more ambitious.Many of them are eager to compete in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing,where talents are abundant and positions are limited. Refusing to go back hometown let them suffer in big cities,which indirectly make their situation worse.Generally speaking,college students should be more qualified to better themselves and adjust their goals according to the reality.1---10A B A D D C B B D A11—20A C D C B.B C D B D21---30B D B A A B A C A A31---40B D C A D A D B B C41—50C A D C A D B C A B51---60C A A B D A C B A B61:计划是我们生活中一项非常重要的活动。

For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the cent.Questions 11-15 are based on the following passage:In the past, degrees were very unusual in my family. I remember the day my uncle graduated. We had a huge party, and for many years my mother called him "the genius" and listened to his opinion. Today in comparison, five of my brothers and sisters have degrees, and two are studying for their masters'. However, some people think that this increased access to education is devaluing degrees.People have several arguments against the need for degrees. They say that having so many graduates devalues a degree. People lose respect for the degree holder. It is also claimed that education has become a rat race. Graduates have to compete for jobs even after years of studying. Another point is that studying for such a long time leads to learners becoming inflexible. They know a lot about one narrow subject, but are unable to apply their skills. Employers prefer more flexible and adaptable workers.However, I feel strongly that this move to having more qualifications is a positive development. In the past education was only for the rich; and powerful. Now it is available to everyone, and this will have many advantages for the country and the individual. First of all, it is impossible to be overeducated. The more people are educated, the better the world will be, because people will be able to discuss and exchange ideas. A further point is that people with degrees have many more opportunities. They can take a wider variety of jobs and do what they enjoy doing, instead of being forced to take a job they dislike. Finally, a highly educated workforce is good for the economy of the country. It attracts foreign investment.In conclusion, although there are undoubtedly some problems with increased levels of education, I feel strongly that the country can only progress if all its people are educated to the maximum of their ability.11. What can we learn about the author's family?A. They used to disregard education.B. They are overeducated now.C. Few members were allowed to go to school in the past.D. There are now more educated members than in the past.12. The word "it" in the last sentence of Paragraph 3 refers to" _____________.A. educationB. workforceC. economyD. country13. The author believes that education ____________.A. reduces the value of degreesB. makes people inflexibleC. brings more job opportunitiesD. increases job competition14. What is the author's purpose of writing this passage?A. To argue about a disputed issue.B. To explain a complicated idea.C. To describe a social phenomenon.D. To demonstrate a research result.15. Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?A. Degree No Longer MattersB. Education is Still ValuableC. Graduation and JobsD. Problems with EducationQuestions 16-20 are based on the following passage:Ernest Hemingway wrote a short story called "The Capital of the World." In it he tells' about a Spanish father who wants to reconcile (和解) with his son who has run away to Madrid. In order to locate the boy he takes out this ad in the newspaper: "Paco, meet me at Hotel Montana at noon on Tuesday. All is forgiven. Love, Papa."Paco is a common name in Spain, and when the father goes to the square he finds 800 young men named Paco waiting for their fathers.What drew them to the hotel? As Hemingway tells it, it was the words "All is forgiven." The father did not say, "All WILL BE forgiven IF you do this or that." Not, "All WILL BE forgiven WHEN you do such and such." He simply says, "All is forgiven." No strings attached.And that's the hard part—un—attaching the strings. The origin of the expression "no strings attached" may go back to ancient times when documents were written on parchment (羊皮卷) that were rolled up and secured with a string.The Babylonian Talmud (犹太法典) tells of a man who gives his wife a bill of divorce on such a parchment, but holds onto the string so that he can snatch it back, should he choose to do so. The divorce, therefore, is not considered valid since he will not give it freely. Similarly, love, forgiveness or friendship that is given with strings attached are not valid, since they can be snatched back at any time.16. The father's ad in the newspaper __________.A. touched the hearts of many sonsB. was a means to persuade the sonC., made the son apologize to himD. solved the problem with his son17. By saying "All is forgiven", the father intends to ____________.A. win his son's forgivenessB. reconsider his son's problemsC. leave his son aloneD. forget about the unpleasant past18. The expression "no strings attached" means" _____________"A. without treatmentB. without conflict of interestC. without explanationsD. without conditions19. It can be learned from the last paragraph that ____________.A. the man wanted to give his wife freedomB. the man gave his wife a restricted divorceC. the wife did not want to divorce her husbandD. the wife refused to give her husband a free divorce20. It can be concluded from the passage that ____________.A. successful marriage requires complete freedomB. family members should learn to forgive each otherC. tree love should be unconditionalD. human emotions should not be restrictedQuestions 21-25 are based on the following passage:In a global survey released in 2012, half the responders admitted to buying things they really did not need. Two thirds are worried that consumers are buying too much. Such concerns may be justified. Many consumers have become trapped in debt.Researchers say that instead of making us more satisfied, high levels of consumption may lead to greater stress and unhappiness!As consumers, we are subjected to a great amount of marketing. What is the goal of marketers? To mm wants into needs. Marketers know that consumer behavior is driven largely by emotion. So advertisements and the shopping experience itself are designed for maximum emotional appeal.When you ask a consumer: Why do you buy so much? He or she may answer: I want to improve my quality of life. It is natural that people want a better life. Advertisers bombard us with messages that all of our desires—better health, security, relief from stress, and closer relationships—can be achieved by making the right purchases.But actually, as our number of possessions increases, our quality of life can actually decrease. Additional time and money are needed to care for more material things. Stress levels rise because of pressure from debt, and there is less time for family and friends. So you should protect yourself from becoming a victim of clever marketers. You should put emotion aside, and compare marketing promises with reality.21. The first paragraph tells us that ____________.A. half the things people buy are not neededB. most consumers are trapped in debtC. excessive buying is commonD. consumption brings satisfaction22. According to the author, the goal of marketers is to ____________.A. turn the consumers' desires into consumptionsB. carefully study the consumers' emotionC. make sure the consumers' needs are metD. make more money by cheating23. Many consumers are buying too much, because ____________.A. they don't know what they really needB. they want to stay in fashionC. they enjoy the shopping experiencesD. they tend to be attracted by ads24. The word "bombard" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to" _____________".A. breakB. attackC. convinceD. supervise25. The purpose of the author in writing this article is to _____________.A. reveal marketing tricksB. explain the working theory of adsC. advise people against over-spendingD. analyze consumer behaviorQuestions 26-30 are based on the following table:Marital Status in the UK in 1991 and 2011Marital StatusPercentage in 1991Percentage in 2011MaleFemaleMaleFemaleSingle24193426Married71655452Widowed415413Divorced118926.
