06年PETS二级最新模拟及答案:阅读理解

第三部分:阅读理解Text A Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college student will find that every craftsman (⼯匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them . The information from them differs from (不同于) that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理论的) part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的) . But the demonstration (⽰范) and report of what happens , and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms (术语). Presently the college student will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he. Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional (传统的) practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs (习惯), of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age. 36.In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____.A, personal experienceB, wild weeds among good plantsC, the information from the parentsD, the vast store of traditional practices37. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?A, The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass.B, Craftsman's experience is usually unscientific.C, The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmen.D, Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college student.38. From this passage we can infer that ______.A, we'll invite the craftsman to teach in the collegeB, schools and books are not the only way to knowledgeC, scientific discoveries late based on personal experienceD, discoveries and rediscoveries are the most important source of knowledge for a college student39. The author advises the college student to ______ .A, be contemptuous to the craftsmanB, be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific termsC, learn the craftsman's experience by judging it carefullyD, gain the craftsman's experience without rejection40. The main idea of this passage is about ________.A, what to learn from the parentsB, how to gain knowledgeC, why to learn from craftsmanD, how to deal with experience答案DCBCB。

2006年10月全国英语阅读(二)试题及答案

2006年10月全国英语阅读(二)试题及答案

全国2006年10月高等教育自学考试英语阅读(二)试题课程代码:00596Ⅰ.Reading Comprehension.(50 points,2points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five passages. After each passage, there are five questions followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and then write the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.Passage OnePlants and animals that have been studied carefully seem to have built-in clocks.These biological clocks,as they are called,usually are not quite exact in measuring time.However,they work pretty well because they are“ reset ”each day,when the sun comes up.Do pigeons use their biological clocks to help them find directions from the sun? We can keep pigeons in a room lit only by lamps.And we can program the lighting to produce artificial “days”,different from the day outside.After a while we have shifted their clocks.Now we take them far away from home and let them go on a sunny day.Most of them start out as if they know just which way to go,but choose a wrong direction.They have picked a direction that would be correct for the position of the sun and the time of day according to their shifted clocks.It is known and experimented that homing pigeons can tell directions by the sun.But what happens when the sky is darkly overcast by clouds and no one can see where the sun is? Then the pigeons still find their way home.The same experiment has been repeated many times on sunny days and the result was always the same.But on very overcast days clock-shifted pigeons are just as good as normal pigeons in starting out in the right directions.So it seems that pigeons also have some extra sense of direction to use when they cannot see the sun.Naturally,people have wondered whether pigeons might have a built-in compass-something that would tell them about the directions of the earth’s magnetic field.One way to test that idea would be to see if a pigeon’s sense of direction can be fooled by a magnet attached to its back.With a strong magnet close by,a compass can no longer tell direction.To test the idea,a group of ten pigeons had strong little magnet bars attached to their backs.Another group carried brass bars instead which were not magnetic.In a number of experiments,both groups were taken away from home and let go.On sunny days none of the magnet-pigeons was fooled.They were just as good as the brass-pigeons in starting out in the right direction toward home.On cloudy,overcast days,however,with no sun the brass-pigeons chose the right direction,but the magnet-pigeons were in trouble.They later started out in different directions and acted completely lost.Questions 1-5 are based on Passage One.11.Which of the following can best describe the organization of the passage?A.Questions are raised first and then experiments to answer them are cited.B.opinions are given first and then evidences against them ore quoted.C.Statements come first and examples supporting them follow.D.People’s long held belief s are cited first and exceptions come after.2.What can be inferred from the passage about biological clocks?A.They are used by all plants and animals to tell time.B.Pigeons’biological clocks are regulated every day with the sunrise.C.The built-in biological clocks cannot be changed.D.They gradually developed as pigeons grow mature.3.How can people shift pigeons’ biological clocks?A.By training them when they are young.B.By minor and harmless operations.C.By taking them really far away from home.D.By keeping them in artificial days.4.Whic h is true about pigeons’ finding directions?A.With a brass on back they can find directions sooner.B.They can find directions better than other birds.C.They use the earth’s magnetic field and the sun to find directions.D.They can find directions only to their home.5.What does the author want to say by citing the last experiment?A.On heavily cloudy days,pigeons that are not well trained do not fly.B.Pigeons use different sources to find directions on different weather.C.Magnetic field is an important source in helping pigeons to find directions.D.The little magnet bars make it easier for pigeons to find directions.Passage TwoIn some ways,yes—but the differences matter more.Just as human history has been shaped by the rise and fall of successive empires,the computer industry has, in the few decades of its existence,been dominated by one large company after another.During the mainframe era,IBM wore the crown.But it fumbled the transition to smaller machines in the personal-computer era,and the throne was usurped by Microsoft.Now,at the dawn of the new era of Internet services,Google is widely seen as the heir to the kingdom.As the upstart has matured into a powerful industry giant,the suggestion2that “Google is the new Microsoft”has become commonplace in computing circles.Is it true?The comparison is both a compliment and a reproach.It is a compliment because it implies that Google has now become the company that defines the environment in which other technology firms operate,just as IBM and Microsoft once did.As with Microsoft in its heyday,Google is the technology firm where the smartest geeks aspire to work;it embodies the technological zeitgeist;and it is a highly regarded company that has become a household name.But the comparison is also a reproach,because it highlights growing concern that Google is now too powerful for its own good,or that of the industry,or indeed that of the world at large.For many people,Google provides the front door to the Internet.For many online businesses,their position in its search ranking—the workings of which are a closely guarded secret—is a matter of life or death.Too much power is thus concentrated in Goo gle’s hands,say critics,including Microsoft’s Bi ll Gates.Microsoft and other big Internet firms,including eBay,Amazon and Yahoo,are now said to be negotiating various alliances in order to provide a counterweight to the new behemoth.Smaller firms feel even more vulnerable.As soon as Google says it is moving into a particular market,small fry in that market now dart for cover,unless they are lucky enough to be acquired by Google.Yet there are some crucial ways in which Google differs from Microsoft.For a start,it is a far more innovative company,and its use of small,flexible teams has so far allowed it to remain innovative even as it has grown.Microsoft,in contrast,has stagnated as a result of its size and dominance.It is least innovative in the markets in which it faces the least competition—operating systems,office software and web browsers—though it is,curiously,still capable of innovating in markets in which it has strong rivals(notably video gaming).Try to avoid using Microsoft software for a day,particularly if you work in an office,and you will have difficulty;but surviving a day without Google is relatively easy.It has strong competitors in all the markets in which it operates:search,online advertising,mapping,software services,and so on.Large firms such as Yahoo,which previously farmed searches out to Google,have switched to other technologies.Goo gle’s market share in search has fallen from a high of around 80%to around 50%today.Perhaps the clearest evidence that Googl e’s continued dominance is not inevitable is the fate of Alta Vista,the former top dog in Internet search.Who remembers it today?Questions 6-10 are based on Passage Two.6.The comparison made among IBM,Microsoft and Google suggests that_____.A.IBM is no longer an important firm in the computer industryB.Microsoft has always been dominant in the computer industryC.Google is gaining a dominant position in computing technologyD.it is not valid to make a comparison between the three firms7.Which of the following is NOT true about Google?3A.Google is widely known only in computing circles.B.Google is being criticized for being too powerful.C.Google is of vital importance to online businesses.D.Google is likely to eplace Microsoft in computer industry.8.Compared with Microsoft, ogle is said to be more_____.A.stagnate in technology B.inflexible in structureC.ambitious in development D.innovative in market9.Microsoft is facing challenges in_____.A.operating system B.office softwareC.web browsers D.video gaming10.Which is used as an example to predict the likely future of Goo gle’s Internet earch?A.Alta Vista.B.Yahoo.C.eBay.D.Amazon.Passage ThreeIt is such an odd relationship between people and pandas.We are so fond of them that when the Chinese government lent a pair to the San Diego Zoo for six months,the number of visitors increased sharply,and the zoo sold over half a million panda T-shirts.When a Panda was born in Tokyo Zoo in 1986,thousands of people phoned daily to hear a recording of the baby’s c ry.Although the reason we love pandas is not easy to explain,animal scientists offer some plausible theories.They suggest that parenting instincts are aroused by the common characteristics of babies:round faces and small jaws.Pandas,even in adulthood,display all of these interesting features.Until recently,however,it seemed nearly certain that this much-loved creature was destined to die out.Even now the giant panda numbers fewer than 1000 in a shrinking wilderness in one small area in China,an untimely end for the wo rld’s most beloved wild species may still be avoidable.“It’s easy to save the panda,”says George Schaller,the New York Zoological So ciety’s panda expert and a world renowned zoologist.“All it needs is bamboo and peace.”Wild life experts have recommended some basic steps to help.A detailed plan for the protection of panda has been drawn up by the Wildlife Fund,in cooperation with the Chinese Ministry of Forestry.The plan calls for a 70%increase in the panda preserve at a cost of $20,000,000 over five years.The plan was submitted to the Chinese government in August,1989.After more than a year of debating and delay,the National People’s Congress voted in favor of the bill to fund the plan.4Almost 100 pandas are kept in Chinese Zoos and at institutions in other countries,but during the past three decades fewer than 100 baby pandas have been born in China.And the majority of these have died young.Despite such unfavorable circumstance,the giant pandas prospects are better now than in the recent past.New insights into behavior,diet and physiology offer hope to protect and raise these animals more effectively.The most promising hope for panda’s future seems to be the increased efforts by Chinese government.They have established 13 panda reserves and announced plans for 14 more.A farm has been relocated away from a panda habitat, and some 60 families living in one reserve have been relocated,costing the government nearly $ 370,00.Public concern for the welfare of pandas has been heightened by stiff penalties for poaching—although it remains a serious problem.A few farmers have captured isolated pandas and released them back to larger habitats.Questions 11-15 are based on Passage Three.11.The passage mainly discusses_______.A.the mysterious life of pandasB.attentions towards panda protectionC.public liking for pandasD.the strange behaviors of pandas12.Pandas are much loved by people for all of the following reasons EXCEPT_______.A.their baby-like featuresB.their round faces and small jawsC.their attractive criesD.their inactivity13.Which of the following factors plays a NEGATIVE rol e to panda’s surviving?A.Public concern for panda’s welfa re has been heightened.B.Chinese government invested more money in panda protection.C.Proper protection measures were not taken in time.D.More reserves will be established in China.14.Which of the following plays a key role in panda protection?A.Animal behaviorists.B.Chinese government.C.American zoologists.D.The zoos which raise pandas.15.Pandas can be better protected today owing to______.A.a better understanding of the animalB.the increase in foreign funds5C.their increasing popularityD.the efforts of American scientistsPassage FourThat experiences influence subsequent behavior is evidence of an obvious but nevertheless remarkable activity called remembering.Learning could not occur without the function popularly named memory.Constant practice has such an effect on memory as to 1ead to skilful performance on the piano,to recitation of a poem,and even to reading and understanding these words.So-called intelligent behavior demands memory,remembering being a primary requirement for reasoning.The ability to solve any problem or even to recognize that a problem exists depends on memory.Typically,the decision to cross a street is based on remembering many earlier experiences.Practice (or review) tends to build and maintain memory for a task or for any learned material.Over a period of no practice what has been learned tends to be forgotten;and the adaptive consequences may not seem obvious.Yet,dramatic instances of sudden forgetting can be seen to be adaptive.In this sense,the ability to forget can be interpreted to have survived through a process of natural selection in animals.Indeed,when one’s memory of an emotionally painful experien ce leads to serious anxiety,forgetting may produce relief.Nevertheless,an evolutionary interpretation might make it difficult to understand how the commonly gradual process of forgetting survived natural selection.In thinking about the evolution of memory together with all its possible.aspects,it is helpful to consider what would happen if memories failed to fade.Forgetting clearly aids orientation in time,since old memories weaken and the new tend to stand out,providing clues for inferring duration.Without forgetting,adaptive ability would suffer,for example,learned behavior that might have been correct a decade ago may no longer be.Cases are recorded of people who (by ordinary standards) forgot so little that their everyday activities were full of confusion.This forgetting seems to serve that survival of the individual and the species.Another line of thought assumes a memory storage system of limited capacity that provides adaptive flexibility specifically through forgetting.In this view,continual adjustments are made between learning or memory storage (input) and forgetting (output).Indeed,there is evidence that the rate at which individuals forget is directly related to how much they have learned.Such data offers gross support of contemporary models of memory that assume an input-output balance.Questions 16-20 are based on Passage Four.16. From the evolutionary point of view,_______.A.sudden forgetting may bring about adaptive consequencesB.forgetting for lack of practice tends to be obviously inadaptiveC.if a person gets very forgetful all of a sudden he must be very adaptiveD.forgetting is an indication of an individual’s adaptability617.According to the passage, if a person never forgot,_______.A.he would survive bestB.he would have a lot of troubleC.the evolution of memory would stopD.his ability to learn would be enhanced18.From the last paragraph we know that _______.A.forgetfulness is a response to learningB.memory is a compensation for forgettingC.the capacity of a memory storage system is limitedD.the memory storage system is balanced19.The tone of the passage can best be described as _______.A.humorous B.theoreticalC.exaggerative D.philosophical20.The author’s main purpose in writing this passage is to _______.A.interpret the function of forgettingB.illustrate the process of adaptingC.explain the performance of memoryD.emphasize the importance of learningPassage FiveMany people believe that beavers are intelligent animals. After all, their dams are fine examples of engineering. The engineering feats of beavers are well known, but it will be useful to recall their main features.A pair of beavers will construct a dam across a river. The water held back by the dam overflows the bank on either side of the river, flooding the adjacent ground and forming a pond. At some point in the pond the beavers then build their home, which is called a lodge. This consists of a conical pile of branches and sticks of two to six feet in length held together with mud and stones, the top of which projects above the waterline. It serves as a shelter from the elements, a refuge from enemies and a base for food supplies to be drawn upon in winter.From an engineering point of view the lodge could hardly be improved.Not only does it contain a central chamber just above water level,but it also has one or more escape tunnels,well-insulated walls and a vertical chimney,which regulates the temperature inside and gives air-conditioning.It is altogether a cunning piece of construction,with all modern conveniences.It is,in fact,better protected against the effects of flooding than many human habitations.Trees are essential to beavers.They eat the bark on the upper branches,and in order to reach these they must fell the7trees.Tree-felling is a skilled job,as anyone who has felled even a sapling knows.But beavers fell more than saplings.A pair is said to be able to fell a tree four inches in diameter in 15 minutes.They do it by gnawing all round the trunk,as high up from the ground as they can reach.They often build platforms of mud and earth to enable them to cut through the tree where the trunk is narrower.The engineering skill of beavers is to a large extent a result of their ability to use their front paws as hands.A female will carry her young held under her chin with her front paws walking on her hind legs.A similar method is used by all beavers when transporting stones or mud,although they also carry such materials on their broad flat tails.The forepaws are also used for burrowing and for dragging heavier logs.It is easy,therefore,to see why people should tal k about the beaver’ s skill,cleverness and intelligence.However,the structur e of the beaver’s brain gives no indication that the animal is any more intelligent than other rodents.Any of its actions,which appear to be the result of a higher order of reasoning,can be shown to be due to instinct and are suspected of being the outcome of an inborn pattern of behavior.Questions 21-25 are based on Passage Five.21.The passage implies that beavers prefer to build their home in_____.A.deep water B.shallow waterC.rivers rather than pond D.1akes rather than rivers22.The word “ elements ” in Paragraph 2 means_____.A.natural habitations for animalsB.environment natural to an individualC.atmospheric forces as rain, wind or snowD.substances as earth, water, air and fire23.The sentence “F rom an engineering point of view the lodge could hardly be improved ”means___.A.the lodge was too poor to improveB.the lodge was left much to improveC.the lodge was nearly perfectD.it is easy to improve the lodge24.Beavers fell trees mainly to___.A.build dams B.build their lodgesC.gain food D.exercise their jaws25.Which of the following statements is best to describe beavers?A.They are clever animals and learn quickly.8B.They are more intelligent than other animals.C.Many of their skills are developed in late life.D.Many of their skills are inborn capabilities.Ⅱ.Vocabulary.(10 points, 1 point for each)Directions:Scan the following passage and find the words which have roughly the same meanings as those given below.The number in the brackets after each word definition refers to the number of paragraph in which the target word is.Write the word you choose on the Answer Sheet.Camps are either temporary,that is changed from day to day,or they are permanent and may be visited year after year,or they may be used for a few weeks at a time. Temporary camps are the ones we are considering,and these can be elaborate or very,very simple.I prefer the latter,and I am sure the boys will agree with me.During the autumn and when the weather is dry and the nights not too cool, the best way to camp is in the open,sleeping on beds of boughs,about a roaring fire,and with one blanket under and another over.Small dog tents,like the ones our soldiers carried in the Civil War, are cheap and very convenient. Each man carried a section,and two made a tent, into which two men crawled when it rained,but in dry weather they preferred to sleep in the open,even when it was freezing.Shelters of boughs,arranged in an A-formed fashion from a ridge pole make good temporary shelters and are first rate as wind breaks at night.A shack built of crossed logs requires some time to build and some skill to make,but it is not beyond the reach of any boy who has seen—and who has not—an old-fashioned log shanty.26.not lasting(Para.1)plicated (Para.1)28.making a loud sound (Para.2)29.bed covering (Para.2)30.moved with the body close to the ground (Para.3)31.held above other things (Para.3)32.terribly cold (Para.3)33.a long rounded piece of wood (Para.4)34.outside the limits (Para.5)35.a roughly-built house like a shack (Para.5)Ⅲ.Summarization.(20 points,2 points for each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are ten paragraphs. Each of the paragraphs is followed by an incomplete phrase9or sentence. Spell out the missing letters of the word on your Answer Sheet.Paragraph OneHigh salaries in the electricity, telecommunications and other monopoly industries have drawn strong criticism in China, where the Gini coefficient, now stands at 0.46, exceeding the internationally recognized alarm level of 0.45. So China is considering cutting wages in monopoly industries to reduce the country’s widening income gap. A draft directive document has been worked out for this purpose.36.The need to n ____the income gap.Paragraph TwoThrough operating remote controls and TV sets, people can log onto the Internet, send and receive E-mails, order dishes, and transfer accounts. They can choose different watching angles and show supports to particular teams while watching televised football games. Of course these services are not free. Experts say pay-TV is a little different with digital TV, but both stand for the developing trend of China’s television industry.37.The e_____ of pay-TV.Paragraph ThreeThis new kind of website is known as a“weblog ”,or “ bolg ”.A weblog is an online journal, typically consisting of a personal diary or social and political commentary ,sometimes with replies from readers. Blogs have common elements:updated frequently(usually daily); informal; grouped by date with links to archives of older posts.38.The passage talks about w_____.Paragraph FourA fashionable word in English these days is YAHOO, a word popularized by the Internet search engine carrying the same name. The original“yahoos”were quite different. They were the nasty, brutish, short and subhuman savages described in the Gulliver’s Travels.Today they are die-hard fans of the home team of any sport or sport enthusiasts who can’t help loving the home team.39.How did the w____ yahoo come?Paragraph FiveOn your interview day, you should arrive at least half an hour earlier. Tell the secretary at the reception desk about your arranged interview as soon as you get there, and wait in the lounge just to relax. But while waiting, watch your posture. When your name is called, let your interviewer see a candidate full of confidence and ready for nothing else but the interview.40.T_____for interviewees.Paragraph Six10A BMW is designed to bring confidence and joy to every moment you spend behind the wheel. Over the vast blanket of hard-packed snow and ice during the winter months, to respond with lightning accuracy in each of these situations may be impossible for a human driver, but not for a BMW equipped with All Season Traction.41.Gua antee of s____ for BMW drivers.Paragraph Seven“There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university ,”wrote John Mansfield in his tribute to English universities—and his words are equally true today. He admired the splendid beauty of the university, he said, because it was “a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see.”42.The paragraph is about the u____ education.Paragraph EightConsumers of electricity usually accept the fact that power cuts frequently occur during thunderstorms. If outages(电力中断)occur on a sunny day, consumers will blame the power company. However, most outages occur due to circumstances beyond the power company’s control. Animals with the ability to reach the top of power poles can knock out power of many houses.43.There are many c_____ for power failure.Paragraph NineA poll was taken recently surveying twelve hundred adults in the United States to find out what they considered important in their lives. Ninety-six percent said that having a good family life was important. Ninety-five percent said that using their mind and abilities was important, which marks a shift in the type of work from physical labor to mental skills. 44.People’s v_____ towards life.Paragraph TenSome people feel very nervous when they fly in airplanes. No matter how hard they try, they cannot lower their anxiety. Many notice their anxiety but only a few are conscious of the way they express their tension. Some try to hide their nervousness; some become aggressive, attacking people by making them the butt of cruel jokes.45.Different r____ to tension when flying.Ⅳ.Translation.(20 points, 4 points for each)Directions: In the following passage, there are five groups of underlined sentences. Read the passage and translate these sentences into Chinese. Write your translation on the Answer Sheet.Only 100 years ago man lived in harmony with nature. There weren’t so many people then and their wants were fewer. Whatever wastes were produced could be absorbed by nature and were soon covered over.(46) Today this harmonious relationship is threatened by man’s lack of foresight and planning, and by his carelessness and greed. For man is slowly11poisoning his environment.Pollution is a “dirty”word. To pollute means to contaminate—to spoil something by introducing impurities which make it unfit or unclean to use. Pollution comes in many forms. We see it, smell it, taste it, drink it ,and stumble through it.(47) We literally live in pollution, and, not surprisingly, it is beginning to threaten our health, our happiness, and our very civilization.Once we thought of pollution as meaning simply smog—the choking, stinging, dirty air that hovers over cities. But air pollution, while it is still the most dangerous, is only one type of contamination among several which attack the most basic life function.Through the uncontrolled use of insecticides, man has polluted the land, killing the wildlife. By dumping sewage and chemicals into rivers and lakes, we have contaminated our drinking water. We are polluting the ocean, too, killing the fish and thereby depriving ourselves of an invaluable food supply.(48) Part of the problem is our exploding population. More and more people produce more wastes. But this problem is intensified by our “throw-away”technology. Each year Americans dispose of 7 million autos, 20 million tons of waste paper,25 million pounds of toothpaste tubes and 48 million cans. We throw away gum wrappers, newspapers, and paper plates. It is easier and cheaper to buy a new one and discard the old, even though 95% of its parts may still be functioning. Soon we will wear clothing made of paper:“Wear it once and throw it away,”will be the slogan of the fashion-conscious.(49)Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a gigantic dump, or is there hope that we can solve the pollution problem? Fortunately, solutions are in sight. A few of them are positively ingenious.Take the problem of discarded cars, for instance. They are too bulky to ship as scrap to a steel mill. They must first be flattened. This is done in a giant compressor which can reduce a Cadillac to the size of a television set in a matter of minutes. Any leftover scrap metal is mixed with concrete and made into exceptionally strong bricks that are used in buildings and bridges.What about water pollution? More and more cities are building sewage-treatment plants.(50) Instead of being dumped into a nearby river or lake, sewage is sent through a system of underground pipes to agiant tank where the water is separated from the solid waste material. The solid material is converted into fertilizer. The sludge can also be made into bricks.12。

2006年考研英语答案解析和参考译文(二)

2006年考研英语答案解析和参考译文(二)SectionⅠUse of English篇章导读本文是一篇论说文。

文章的主题是"英才通才教育"。

作者在文章开头就提出了一个具有选择性的问题:"如果我们只是需要决定是把基本的科学传授给每个人,还是找一些有才华的人,引领他们变得更出色,那么我们的工作将会相当容易。

"随后作者从"the education in public school,the balance among the branches of knowledge and the balance between current and classical knowledge"三个方面来论述在教育中保持知识平衡的重要性。

解读文章时注意作者的客观态度。

思路解析1「答案」[C]「解析」"选择"。

根据文章一致性原则,"choice"与文章第一句中的"decide决定"形成呼应,根据原文"decide whether......or......"所以下文就应该是对其有所"选择choice"或没有"选择choice"。

而选项[A]"(与属性区别的)本质:the entity of justice 正义的本质",[B]"拍卖;(某些纸牌戏中的)叫牌;叫牌阶段",[D]"结合体,联合;(政党、个人、国家等)临时结成的联盟"是本题的干扰,均不形成呼应,不符合题意。

「解析」"因为"。

"for"与文章第一段第三句中的"Because we depend......"构成搭配,均表示解释原因。

而选项[A][B][C]均不用于解释原因,不符合原文意思。

2006 Text 3(英语⼆)过度捕捞When prehistoric man arrived in new parts of the world, something strange happened to the large animals: they suddenly became extinct.当史前的⼈到达世界的⼀个新的地⽅时,那⾥的⼤只动物就会发⽣奇怪的事情,它们突然灭绝了。

Smaller species survived.⼩只动物种族存活了下来。

The large, slow-growing animals were easy game, and were quickly hunted to extinction.但是⼤只,成⻓缓慢的动物则成了狩猎的⽬标,并且很快被狩猎到灭绝。

Now something similar could be happening in the oceans.现在相类似的事情发⽣在⼤海中。

That the seas are being overfished has been known for years.这些年在海中的捕捞活动太过频繁。

What researchers such as Ransom Myers and Boris Worm have shown is just how fast things are changing.就像 Ransom Myers 和 Boris Worm 这些年所研究的,事物在迅速地变化着。

They have looked at half a century of data from fisheries around the world.他们研究了半个世纪以来世界上所有的⻥场。

Their methods do not attempt to estimate the actual biomass (the amount of living biological matter) of fish species in particular parts of the ocean, but rather changes in that biomass over time.他们的⽅法不是为了试图估算特定区域的海洋中实际动物总数(活着⽣物的总数),⽽是单位⾯积中海洋⽣物数量随着时间的变化。

2006年考研英语参考答案及详细解答(3)

2006年考研英语参考答案及详细解答(3)

Text 3篇章导读本⽂主要是⼀篇阐述型的⽂章。

中⼼是哥伦⽐亚号航天飞机失事的调查经过。

第1⾃然段作者⾸先提出因为有太多的情感和太多的⾃负,所以这个调查很难进⾏。

在第2⾃然段,调查组的领导⼈Gehman很谨慎地说,如果要真知道这个飞机的左翼出现问题的话,美国航空航天局的研究⼈员肯定会实施营救的,但⽬前问题在于美国航空航天局的研究⼈员有没有反对过或决定反对过进⾏调查,在4、5、6、7段作者讲述了在听证会上的主题即美国航空航天局拒绝接受军事部门提供的卫星照⽚。

本⽂的关键词为“inquiry”、“accident”、“Gehman”、“NASA”等等。

思路解析31「答案」[B]「解析」题⼲问:“本⽂最可能选⾃标题为……的⽂章”。

正确选项为[B]“对哥伦⽐亚号事件的调查”,“inquiry”和“accident”为本⽂的中⼼关键词,很显然⽂章的中⼼关键词作为整篇⽂章的⼤标题。

⽽选项[A]“Gehman对哥伦⽐亚号失事的评论”,在这篇⽂章中作者的态度相当谨慎,就事论事,没有涉及太多的评价。

选项[C]“阐述航天飞机的安全”,离题太远。

选项[D]“美国航空航天局正在被揭露的问题”,⽂中确实讲到美国航空航天局存在问题,但只是⼀部分,⽽不能作为整体。

32「答案」[B]「解析」题⼲问:“在句⼦‘since they could place’中的‘they’所指的是……”。

正确选项为[B]“回答”,对该句进⾏句型分析后,得出“they”指代的对象为前⾯的“answers”,“answer”为在听证会上的回答。

选项[A]“赔偿⾦”,选项[C]“决定”和选项[D]“问题”都与原⽂语境不相符合。

33「答案」[A]「解析」题⼲问:“根据作者,导致哥伦⽐亚号航天飞机失事的主要原因是……”。

⽂中作者明确讲述了导致航天飞机失事可能主要是因为其左翼受到了损坏,因此选项[A]“⼀个很可能左翼受到的损坏”为正确选项。

⽽选项[B]“故意拒绝卫星图⽚”,选项[C]“有⼀种多愁善感以及所涉及的⼀种⾃负”和选项[D]“航天机构在执⾏任务中的⾏动迟缓”都不是导致事件直接引发的原因。
