(10 points)1.Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require months of travel through Europe. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography, set up interviews and do research? So I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind: you can’t learn if you don’t try. So I accepted the assignment. By the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. The point is that the new is almost by definition scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you. I’ve learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I’ll go on doing such things. It is not because I am braver than others, but because I will accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.正确答案:几年前,我被分配了一项写作任务,为此要在欧洲旅游几个月。

Even the scientists at the South Pole research station can enjoy fresh vegetables they grow in their own greenhouse.Experts say indoor farming solves many problems. First, traditional farming takes up a lot of land. Growing crops in tall buildings—吵ed vertical farming (垂直衣业)一亡an solve the problem Also. fruits and vegetables grown indoors would not face serious threats from insects and bad weather.Though vertical farms don't exist yet, experts have created a plan for recycling in such fanns. The water from indoor fish ponds would be used to water crops. Gases from crop waste would be used to heat the building. Waste from chicken or pigs would be reused as a source of energy.But experts believe vertical farming is not going to be easy. They say it can be difficult to control clin立te conditions indoors. Besides, plants differ in their weather and lighting needs. For example, some plants like warm. sunny weather, but other plants prefer cooler temperatures.That's not to say these difficulties won't be overcome-but it will take time.

Writing (20 points)Write an essay on the following topic:“Education plays a crucial role in the development of a nation. Discuss the importance of education in the following aspects: economic growth, socialprogress, and individual development. Provide specific examples and give your own opinion.”Example:Education is an indispensable factor in the development of a nation. It plays a vital role in economic growth, social progress, and individual development. In this essay, I will discuss the importance of education in these aspects and provide specific examples.Firstly, education is essential for economic growth. With the rapid development of technology and globalization, knowledge and skills have become increasingly important in the workplace. A well-educated population can drive innovation, create new businesses, and boost productivity. For example, in countries like South Korea and Singapore, education has been a key driver of economic growth, leading to high per capita income and a strong global competitiveness.Secondly, education contributes to social progress. Education provides individuals with the knowledge and values necessary to participate actively in society. It fosters critical thinking, empathy, and social responsibility. For instance, education can help reduce poverty, improve health, and promote gender equality. Moreover, educated citizens are more likely to vote and engage in civic activities, contributing to a stable and democratic society.Lastly, education is crucial for individual development. It enables individuals to achieve their full potential, discover their passions, and makeinformed decisions. Education equips individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to adapt to a rapidly changing world. For example, education can help individuals gain employment, pursue higher education, and improve their quality of life.In conclusion, education plays a vital role in the development of a nation. It is essential for economic growth, social progress, and individual development. Investing in education can lead to a brighter future for both the nation and its citizens.Analysis:This essay effectively discusses the importance of education in three aspects: economic growth, social progress, and individual development. The essay provides clear and specific examples to support the arguments. The structure is logical, with a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and conclusion. The language is appropriate for an academic context, with a variety of sentence structures and vocabulary. The essay demonstrates a strong understanding of the topic and presents a well-reasoned argument.。

考研英语二(阅读)-试卷1(总分60, 做题时间90分钟)2. Reading ComprehensionSection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections: Read the following four texts. Answer thequestions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.In 1930, when the world was "suffering from a bad attack of economic pessimism" , John May-nard Keynes wrote a broadly optimistic essay, "Economic Possibilities for our Grand-children". It imagined a middle way between revolution and stagnation that would leave the grandchildren a great deal richer than their grandparents. But the path was not without dangers. One of the worries Keynes admitted was a "new disease" : "technological unemployment due to ourdiscovery of means of economising the use of labour outrunning the pace at which we can find new uses for labour. " His readers mightnot have heard of the problem, he suggested—but they were certain to hear a lot more about it in the years to come. For the most part, they did not. Nowadays, the majority of economists confidently wave such worries away. By raising productivity, they argue, any automation which economises on the use of labour will increase incomes. That will generate demand for new products and services, which will in turn create new jobs for displaced workers. To think otherwise has meant being tarred a Luddite— the name taken by 19th-century textile workers who smashed the machines taking their jobs. For much of the 20th century, those arguing that technology brought ever more jobs and prosperity looked to have the better of the debate.

A Tribute to the DogThe best friend a man has in this world may turn against him and become hisenemy. His son or daughter whom he has reared with loving care may proveungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trustwithour happiness and our good name, may become traitors to their faith.The money that a man has he may lose. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action.The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do ushonor when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of malicewhen failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolute, unselfishfriend a man may have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous, is his dog.A man’s dog stands byhim in prosperity and in poverty, in health and insickness. He will sleep on the cold ground when the wintry winds blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he can be near his master’s side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to offer. He will lick the sores and wounds that come in the encounter with the roughness of the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if he were a prince.When all other friends desert, he remains. When riches take wings andreputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in itsjourney through the heavens. If fortune drives the master forth, an outcastin the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying him to guard him against danger, to fight against his enemies. And when the last scene of all comes and death takes its master in its embrace and the body is laid away in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends pursue their way, there by his graveside will the noble dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulnessfaithful and true even to death.1.1.1 5.0A man’s best friend will never turn against him and become his enemy.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.2 5.0A person’s child may turn out to be ungrateful.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.3 5.0The people who flatter(奉承,谄媚) us when we are successfulare the first to throw the stone of malice when we are in difficulty.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.4 5.0Man’s most unselfish friend who never deserts him is his dog.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.5 5.0A dog will be true to his owner whether he is rich or poor, healthy or ill. • aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.6 5.0A dog will protect his owner when he is asleep as if he were a beggar.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.7 5.0A dog will stay with his owner even if all his friends break up with him.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.8 5.0A dog will be as constant in its love to the owner as the owner’s spouse(配偶).• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.9 5.0If his owner becomes homeless and friendless, the dog will regard accompanying his owner as the highest privilege.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given1.1.10 5.0When his owner dies, the dog will run away with his friends.• aTrue• bFalse• cNot Given2.阅读选择2.1 25.0阅读下面短文,请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项,并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。

As they entered the 21st century, people could not help looking back to the past 20 years when they managed to cope with a new threat– the computer. By the year of 1980, computers had become a fact of life. They were, the magazine DISCOVER noted that December, “in cars, offices, schools and homes, toys and watches. In some airplanes, pilots need not handle the controls; they are‘flight managers’ who watch the computer manage the flight and landing. On the way are voice-driven typewriters, robots that can ‘see’, and hand-held computers that can over the contents of the Library of Congress.”But at the same time, observed the writer John Leo, a large number of Americans were “computerphobes” (电脑恐惧者) and “techno-peasants”, who feared that computers were “designed to destroy privacy, eliminate jobs, carry the TVgeneration even further away from literacy, read few words on food boxes so that the grocer can cheat his customers more easily, and allow World War III to be launched entirely by technical error.”Some executives especially hated computers, Leo reported. They worried that they would lose status – and their assistants –if they were seen at keyboard.Publishers and journalists, he continued, were frightened that the printed word would be eliminated. “True, the newspaper travels well–you can not put acomputer under your arm while rushing for a train,” he wrote, “Not now, but a more advanced and complicated portable version, about the size of a hand-held electronic game, may not be far off.”Today those same executives and journalists who feared computers wouldn’t be found without having their portable computers on their laps. The widespread fear of computers seems a thing of the past–a shift that Leo correctlypredicted.”Every one will accept computers,” he wrote, “because there is no alternative.”2.1.1 5.0The magazine listed the uses of computers in the following fields EXCEPT__________.• aeducation• btransportation• cpublication• dmedicine2.1.2 5.0Some executives did not like computers in that __________.• athey might lose their importance and respect• bthey had to learn how to use computers• cthey had to hire more assistants• dthey had to buy expensive portable computers2.1.3 5.0Which of the following is NOT what the computerphobes are expecting? • aMore privacy.• bMore jobs.• cMore literacy.• dMore world wars.2.1.4 5.0Today the same executives and journalists can be found to __________. • adislike computers• bfear using computers• cuse computers frequently• duse computers rarely2.1.5 5.0When the author says:“…there is no alternative” in the last sentence of the passage, he means that __________.• acomputers provide no choice• bcomputers are to be accepted• ccomputers offer no help to pilots• dmore complicated computers have to be made in factories2.2 25.0阅读下面短文,请从短文后所给各题的4个选项(A、B、C、D)中选出1个最佳选项,并在答题卡相应位置上将该项涂黑。
