中国地质大学(北京)考博专业英复习材料
晶） is said to have a porphyritic texture（斑状结构）. The classification of fine-grained rocks, then, is based on the proportion of minerals which form phenocrysts and these phenocrysts （斑晶）reflect the general composition of the remainder(残留) of the rock. The fine-grained portion of a porphyritic（斑岩） rock is generally referred to as the groundmass（基质） of the phenocrysts. The terms "porphyritic" and "phenocrysts" are not restricted to fine-grained rocks but may also apply to coarse-grained rocks which contain a few crystals distinctly larger than the remainder. The term obsidian(黑曜岩) refers to a glassy rock of rhyolitic（流纹岩） composition. In general, fine-grained rocks consisting of small crystals cannot readily be distinguished from③ glassy rocks in which no crystalline material is present at all. The obsidians, however, are generally easily recognized by their black and highly glossy appearanceass of the same composition as obsidian. Apparently the difference between the modes of formation of obsidian and pumice is that in pumice the entrapped water vapors have been able to escape by a frothing（起泡） process which leaves a network of interconnected pore（气孔） spaces, thus giving the rock a highly porous （多孔的）and open appearance（外观较为松散）. ④ Pegmatite（结晶花岗岩） is a rock which is texturally（构造上地） the exact opposite of obsidian. ⑤ Pegmatites are generally formed as dikes associated with major bodies of granite （花岗岩） . They are characterized by extremely large individual crystals （单个晶体） ; in some pegmatites crystals up to several tens of feet in length（宽达几十英尺）have been identified, but the average size is measured in inches （英寸） . Most mineralogical museums contain a large number of spectacular（壮观的） crystals from pegmatites. Peridotite（橄榄岩） is a rock consisting primarily of olivine, though some varieties contain pyroxene（辉石） in addition. It occurs only as coarse-grained intrusives（侵入）, and no extrusive（喷出的） rocks of equivalent chemical composition have ever been found. Tuff （凝灰岩）is a rock which is igneous in one sense （在某种意义上） and sedimentary in another⑥. A tuff is a rock formed from pyroclastic （火成碎 屑的）material which has been blown out of a volcano and accumulated on the ground as individual fragments called ash. Two terms（igneous and sedimentary） are useful to refer solely to the composition of igneous rocks regardless of their textures. The term silicic (硅质 的)signifies an abundance of silica-rich（富硅） and light-colored minerals（浅 色矿物）, such as quartz, potassium feldspar（钾长石）, and sodic plagioclase （钠长石） . The term basic （基性） signifies （意味着） an abundance of dark colored minerals relatively low in silica and high in calcium, iron, and

2017年中石化第一次英语分级测试真题(阅读+翻译+写作)及答案
阅读 篇章1 当前题号：第1-10题，总题数：50题Line Low wages, chronic unemployment and underemployment lead to low income,lack of property ownership, absence of savings, absence of food reserves in the home, and a chronic shortage of cash. These conditions reduce the possibility of effective participation in the larger economic system. And as a r e s p o n s e t o t h e s e c o n d i t i o n s w e f i n d i n t h e culture of poverty a high incidence of pawning personal goods, borrowing from localmoney -lenders at higher rates of interest, spontaneous informal credit devices organized by neighbors, the use of secondhand clothing and furniture, and the pattern of frequent buying of small quantities of food many times a day as the need arises.People with a culture of poverty produce very little wealth andreceive very little in return. They have a low level of literacy and education, usually do not belong to labor unions, are not members of political parties, generally do not participate in the national welfare agencies, and make very little use of banks, hospitals, department stores, museums or art gal l eri e s. T he y h a ve a c ri t i c al a t t i t u de t o w a rd s om e or the basic institutions of the dominant classes, hatred of the police,mistrust of government, and a cynicism that extends even to the church.This gives the culture of poverty a high potential for protest and forBeing used in political movements aimed against the existing socialorder.People with a culture of poverty are aware of middle -class values,talk about them and even claim some of them as their own, but on thewhole they do not live by them. Thus it is important to distinguishbetweenwhat they say and what they do. For example, many will tellyou that marriage by law, by the church, or by both is the ideal form of marriage, but few will marry. To men who have no steady jobs or othersources of income, who do not own property and have no wealth to passon to their children, who are present -time oriented and who want toavoid the expense and legal difficulties involved in formal marriage anddivorce, free unions or consensual marriages make a lot of sense. Women will often turn down offers of marriage because they feel it tiesthem down to men. Women feel that consensual union gives them abetter break; it gives them some of the freedom and flexibility that menhave. By not giving the fathers of their children legal status as husbands,the women have a stronger claim on their children if they decide toleave their men. It also gives women exclusive rights to a house or anyother property they may own.1. According to the passage, a defining characteristic of poverty is that poor people__________.A. are isolated from the mainstream of societyB. lack the skills to find decent jobsC. are responsible for their own poverty510 1520 25 30 35D.are constantly in a state of crisis2.The author of the passage uses the phrase “culture of poverty” (Line 6) to suggestthat __________.A.there are several classifications of poor peopleB.poor people often take pride in their povertyC.poor people share a common ethnicityD.poverty has become a prevailing way of life for some people3.The word “incidence” in Line 6 is closest in meaning to __________.A.inflationB.introductionC.accidentD.occurrence4.The word “literacy” in Line 12 refers to the ability to __________.A.go to schoolB.read and writeC.understand mathD.receive an education5.By asserting that the culture of poverty can be used by political movements (Line19), the author is __________.A.cautioning against an uprising by the poorB.showing how poverty may threaten social stabilityC.calling upon the middle class to fight against the poorD.justifying the motives of politicians6.Which of the following best describes people with a culture of poverty?A.They work hard but receive little in returnB.They’re cynical to all but the churchC.They usually ignore the national welfare agenciesD.They are economically active7.According to the last paragraph, consensual union can provide poor women whorefuse to get married legally with all of the following EXCEPT __________.A.a free church wedding or civil ceremonyB.some of the freedom and flexibility that men haveC. a stronger claim on their children when they want to leave their menD.rights to a house or any other property8. A conclusion can be drawn from the last paragraph that men and women in theculture of poverty __________.A.consider themselves unworthy of legal marriageB.prefer not to be in relationshipC.avoid legalized marriages for practical and economic reasonsD.do not trust each other to be faithful husbands and wives9.In the discussion of poverty, the author is most likely to agree that poverty__________.A.is more widespread than most people thinkB.cannot be eliminatedC. weakens the fabric of societyD. means more than lack of money10. The word “it” in Line 37 refers to __________.A. a better breakB. legal statusC. consensual unionD. illegal marriage篇章2 当前题号：第11-20题，总题数：50题；Line Cars account for half the oil consumed in the U.S., about half the urban pollution and one -fourth of the greenhouse gases. They take asimilar toll of resources in other industrial nations and in the cities of thedeveloping world. As vehicle use continues to increase in the coming decade, the U.S. and other countries will have to deal with these issues or else face unacceptable economic, health -related and political costs. Itis unlikely that oil prices will remain at their current low level or thatother nations will accept a large and growing U.S. contribution to globalclimate change.Policymakers and industry have four options: reduce vehicle use,increase the efficiency and reduce the emissions of conventionalgasoline -powered vehicles, switch to less harmful fuels, or find lesspolluting driving systems. The last of these — in particular theintroduction of vehicles powered by electricity — is ultimately the only sustainable option. The other alternatives are attractive in theory but in practice are either impractical or offer only marginal improvements. Forexample, reduced vehicle use could solve traffic problems and a host ofsocial and environmental problems, but evidence from around the worldsuggests that it is difficult to make people give up their cars to any significant extent. In the U.S., mass -transit ridership and carpoolinghave declined since World War II. Even in Western Europe, with fuelprices averaging more than ＄1 a liter (about ＄4 a gallon) and with easilyaccessible mass transit and dense populations, cars still account for 80percent of all passenger travel.Improved energy efficiency is also appealing, but automotive fueleconomy has barely made any progress in 10 years. Alternative fuelssuch as natural gas, burned in internal -combustion engines, could beintroduced at relatively low cost, but they would lead to only marginalreductions in pollution and greenhouse gas emissions (especiallybecause oil companies are already spending billions of dollars everyyear to develop less polluting types of gasoline).11. It can be learned from the passage that the increased use of cars will __________.A. consume half of the oil produced in the worldB. have serious consequences on the well -being of all nationsC. impose an economic burden on residents of large cities510 1520 25D.widen the gap between the developed and developing countries12.America has to solve the problems arising from vehicle use because __________.A.few Americans are reluctant to switch to public transportationB.the present level of oil prices is considered unacceptableC.it should take the lead in conserving natural resourcesD.other countries are unsatisfied about its large greenhouse emissions13.According to the author, America’s contribution to global climate change is__________.A.increasingB.decreasingC.fluctuatingD.stabilizing14.Which of the following is the best solution to the problems mentioned in thepassage?A.The designing of highly efficient car enginesB. A reduction of vehicle use in citiesC.The use of less polluting fuelsD.The development of electric cars15.What does “host” in Line 17 mean?A.Person who serves people as guestsB.Anchor of a television program, etc.rge number of somethingD.Caretaker of an inn16. What is the meaning of “carpooling” in Line 20?A. People riding together in one carB. A number of cars used by a company’s salesmenC. A person who owns many carsD. Cars owned by an organization for the use of its members17. According to the passage, after World War II many people in the U.S.__________.A.only used railwaysB.preferred their own cars for travelC.always used public transportationD.insist on carpooling18. Which of the following is practical but only makes a small contribution to solvingthe problem of greenhouse emissions?A.Slowing down fuel economyB.The use of fuels other than gasolineC.Reducing car use by carpoolingD.The introduction of less polluting driving systems19. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The decline of public transportation accounts for increased car use in WesternEuropeB.Cars are popular in Western Europe even though fuel prices are fairly highC. Western Europe oil companies cannot sustain the cost of developing new -typefuelsD. The reduction of vehicle use is the only sustainable option in denselypopulated Western Europe20. The word “they” in Line 28 refers to __________.A. internal -combustion enginesB. marginal reductionsC. alternative fuelsD. greenhouse emissions篇章3 当前题号：第21-30题，总题数：50题；Line Cancer has always been with us, but not always in the same way. Its care and management have differed over time and have its identity. visibility, and meaning. Pick up the thread of history at its most distant end and you have “cancer the crab”—so named because its pain is like the pinch of a crab’s claw. Pre -modern cancer is a lump that sometimes b r e a k s t h r o u gh t h e s k i n i n u l c e r a t i o n s p r o d u c i n g f o u l -s m e l l i n g discharges. The ancient Egyptians knew about many tumors that had a bad outcome, and the Greeks made a distinction between benign tumors and evil ones. In the second century A.D., Galen reckoned that the cause was systemic, an excess of sadness or black bile, one of the body’s four “humors” brought on by bad diet and environmental circumstances.Ancient medical practitioners sometimes cut tumors out, but theprognosis was known to be grim .The experience of cancer has always been terrible, but, until modern times, its mark on culture has been light. In the past, fear came from infectious and epidemic diseases, strokes, heart attacks, and tuberculosis.The agonizing manner of cancer death was dreaded, but that fear was notcentrally situated in the public mind — as it now is. This is one reasonwhy the medical historian Roy Porter wrote that cancer is “the modern disease par excellence ”.At one time, it was thought that cancer was a “disease ofcivilization,” belonging to much the same causal domain as“neurasthenia” and diabetes, the former a nervous weakness believed tobe brought about by the stress of modern life and the latter a condition produced by bad diet and indolence. In the eighteenth and nineteenthcenturies, some physicians attributed cancer to psychological andbehavioral causes. William Buchan’s wildly popular eighteenth -centurytext Domestic Medicine judged that cancers might be caused by“excessive fear, grief, and religious melancholy”. In the nineteenth century, reference was repeatedly made to a “cancer personality”, and, insome versions, specifically to sexual repression. As Susan Sontagobserved, cancer was considered shameful, even obscene. “It seemsunimaginable”, Sontag wrote, “to aestheticize” cancer.5 10 1520 25 3021.

Nearly everybody agrees: It’sgoing to take a revolution to fix America’s public schools. Louis V .Gerstner Jr., one of the business leaders in education reform, proclaims the Noah principle: “No more prizes for predicting rain. Prizes only for bilding arks. We’ve got to change whole schools and whole schoolsystem.”But this isn’t so. Firstly, nobody really wants a revolution. Revolutionwould mean removing the whole present structure of education overnightand inventing a new one from the beginning, in the conviction that anything must be an improvement—no matter what it costs. What thesefolks really want isn’t revolution but major reform, changing the systemradically but in an orderly fashion. The changes are supposed to be testedin large -scale pilot programs—Gerstner’s “arks”—and then installed nationally. But even that is just a distant gleam in the eye and a dubiousproposition too. There’s nothing like a consensus even on designing thosearks, let alone where they are supposed to come to ground. And anyonewho has watched radical reforms in the real world has to be wary of them: Invariably, they take a long time and cost a great deal, and even so they fail more often than they succeed. The best and most natural changescome not in wholesale gulps, but in small bites.What the think -big reformers fail to acknowledge is that schools allover the country are changing all the time. From head -start programs to after -school big brother/big sister projects to self -esteem workshops, it’sprecisely these small -scale innovations and demonstration programs that are doing the job, in thousands of schools. Some of these efforts are only partly successful; some fail; some work small miracles. They focus varyingly on children, teachers, and parents, on methods of administration and techniques of teaching, on efforts to motivate kids, teach values andmobilize community support. Some are relatively expensive; others cost almost nothing. But all of them can be done—and have been done.The important thing is that local schools aren’t waiting for a 25 30 351051520revolution. They are working out their own problems and making theirown schools better. And anyone—teachers, parents, principals, schoolboard members—anyone who cares enough and works hard enough can dothe same.31. According to the Nelson Mandela quote, education can__________.A. be used to hurt peopleB. be accessible to powerful peopleC. teach people to use weaponD. help create change32. According to the passage, Gerstner believes __________.A. the present school system is functioning adequatelyB. the emphasis should be shifted to finding solutions rather than focus ondescribing problemsC. the school curriculum should include more classesD. in the value of monetary prizes to outstanding students33. The word “installed” in Line 14 is closest in meaning to __________.A. implementedB. informedC. explainedD. stressed34. The author views the pilot programs as all of the following EXCEPT __________.A. costlyB. time-consumingC. uncertain to succeedD. a product of consensus35. The word “they” in Line 18 refers to __________.A. folksB. pilot programsC. changesD. schools36. The word “wholesale” in Line 22 is closest in meaning to __________.A. cheapB. largeC. valuableD. fair37. Which best summarizes the idea of “small bites” in Line 22?A. Changing the system radically but in an orderly fashionB. Allowing children to choose from a variety of programsC. Using modest innovations to improve schoolsD.

中国地质大学考博英语冲刺第四课例题习题
中国地质大学考博英语冲刺第四课例题习题Americans had always been preoccupied with reforming their society;with “making it over,”and between the1890s and the end of the First World War, the reform spirit intensified.More and more people tried to address the problem of their time directly,to impose order on a confusing world,and,especially,to create a（examda）conflict-free society.Their efforts,inspired by a complicated mixture of calculated self-interest and unselfish benevolence,helped what can be called the Progressive era.The urge for reform had many sources. Industrialization had brought unprecedented productivity,awesome technology, and plenty of consumer goods.But it had also included labor struggle,waste of natural resources,and abuse of corporate power.Rapidly growing cities facilitated the accumulation and distribution of goods,services,and cultural amenities but also magnified problems of poverty,disease,crime,and political corruption.Massive inflows of immigrants and the rise of a new class of managers and professionals shook the foundations of old social classes.And the depression that crippled the nation in the1890s made many leading citizens realize what working people had known for some time:the central promise of American life was not being kept;equality of opportunity—whether economic, political,or social—was a myth.Progressives tried to resolve these problems by organizing ideas and actions around three basic themes.First,they sought to end abuses of power.Second, progressives aimed to replace corrupt power with the power of reformed institutions such as schools,charities,medical clinics,and the family.Third progressives wanted to apply principles of science and efficiency on a nationwide scale to all economic,social,and political institutions,to minimize social and economic disorder and to establish cooperation,especially between business and government,that would end wasteful competition and labor conflict.Befitting their name,progressives had strong faith in the ability of humankind to create a better world.More than ever before,Americans looked to government as an agent of the people that could and should intervene in social and economic relations to protect the common good and substitute public interest for self-interest.41.The passage is primarily concerned with.A.the reasons for the Progressive MovementB.the problems that American society faced between the1890s and the end of World war IC.the causes and contents of the Progressive reformD.the belief that Americans possessed in their society42.All of the following can be inferred from the passage about the American society before the1890s except that.A.there was little equal opportunity for general AmericansB.industry developed very rapidlyC.thousands of people immigrated to the United StatesD.economic depression did great harm to its development43.The author believed that the remedy for the social problems is.A.to stop the use of powerB.to establish more schools and medical clinicsC.to depend on government to make reformsD.to minimize the conflict between the labor and capital44.It can be inferred from the passage that Progressives believed that.A.the rate of industrial development should be reducedB.rapid growth of cities resulted mainly from the massive immigrationC.human beings are able to do anything wellernment tended to protect the businesses rather than the masses45.It can be concluded from the passage that the spirit of the progressive movement is the spirit.A.to end political corruptionB.to minimize social and economic disorderC.to promote free competitionD.to reform all the social evils and problems本文由“育明考博”整理编辑。
