考研英语阅读理解模拟试题及解析(二)Roger Rosenblatt''s book Black Fiction,in attempting to apply literary rather than sociopolitical criteria to its subject,successfully alters the approach taken by most previous studies. As Rosenblatt notes,criticism of Black writing has often served as a pretext for expounding on Black history. Addison Gayle''s recent work,for example, judges the value of Black fiction by overtly political standards,rating each work according to the notions of Black identity which it propounds.Although fiction assuredly springs from political circumstances,its authors react to those circumstances in ways other than ideological,and talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology circumvents much of the fictional enterprise. Rosenblatt''s literary analysis discloses affinities and connections among works of Black fiction which solely political studies have overlooked or ignored.Writing acceptable criticism of Black fiction,however, presupposes giving satisfactory answers to a number of questions. First of all,is there a sufficient reason,other than the facial identity of the authors,to group together works by Blackauthors?Second,how does Black fiction make itself distinct from other modern fiction with which it is largely contemporaneous?Rosenblatt shows that Black fiction constitutes a distinct body of writing that has an identifiable,coherent literary tradition. Looking at novels written by Black over the last eighty years, he discovers recurring concerns and designs independent of chronology. These structures are thematic,and they spring,not surprisingly,from the central fact that the Black characters in these novels exist in a predominantly white culture,whether they try to conform to that culture or rebel against it.Black Fiction does leave some aesthetic questions open. Rosenblatt''s thematic analysis permits considerable objectivity;he even explicitly states that it is not his intention to judge the merit of the various works - yet his reluctance seems misplaced, especially since an attempt to appraise might have led to interesting results. For instance, some of the novels appear to be structurally diffuse. Is this a defect,or are the authors working out of,or trying to forge, a different kind of aesthetic?In addition,the style of some Black novels, like Jean Toomer''s Cane,verges on expressionism or surrealism;does this technique provide a counterpoint to the prevalent themethat portrays the fate against which Black heroes are pitted,a theme usually conveyed by more naturalistic modes of expression?In spite of such omissions,what Rosenblatt does include in his discussion makes for an astute and worthwhile study. Black Fiction surveys a wide variety of novels,bringing to our attention in the process some fascinating and little-known works like James Weldon Johnson''s Autobiography of anEx-Colored Man. Its argument is tightly constructed,and its forthright,lucid style exemplifies levelheaded and penetrating criticism.1.The author of the text is primarily concerned with__________.[A] evaluating the soundness of a work of criticism.[B] comparing various critical approaches to a subject.[C] discussing the limitations of a particular kind of criticism.[D] summarizing the major points made in a work of criticism.2.The author of the text believes that Black Fiction would have been improved had Rosenblatt __________.[A] evaluated more carefully the ideological andhistorical aspects of Black fiction.[B] attempted to be more objective in his approach to novels and stories by Black authors.[C] explored in greater detail the recurrent thematic concerns of Black fiction throughout its history.[D] assessed the relative literary merit of the novels he analyzes thematically.3.The author''s discussion of Black Fiction can be best described as __________.[A] pedantic and contentious.[B] critical but admiring.[C] ironic and deprecating.[D] argumentative but unfocused.4.The author of the text employs all of the following in the discussion of Rosenblatt''s book EXCEPT:__________.[A] rhetorical questions.[B] specific examples.[C] comparison and contrast.[D] definition of terms.5.The author of the text refers to James Weldon Johnson''s Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man most probably in order to __________.[A] point out affinities between Rosenblatt''s method of thematic analysis and earlier criticism.[B] clarify the point about expressionistic style made earlier in the passage.[C] qualify the assessment of Rosenblatt''s book made in the first paragraph of the passage.[D] give a specific example of one of the accomplishments of Rosenblatt''s work.[答案与考点解析]「答案」A「考点解析」这是一道中心主旨题。

考研英语阅读理解考试题和答案解析二PLIGHT OF THE PRESCHOOLERSHow do they beat the odds?Competition for admission to the country’s top private schools has always been tough, but this year Elisabeth Krents realized it had reached a new level.Her wake-up call came when a man called the Dalton School in Manhattan, where Krents is admissions director, and inquired about the age cutoff for their kindergarten program. After providing the information (they don’t use an age cutoff), she asked about the age of his child. The man paused for an uncomfortably long time before answering. “Well, we don’t have a child yet,” he told Krents. “We’re trying to figure out when to conceive a child so the birthday is not a problem.”School obsession is spreading from Manhattan to the rest of the country. Precise current data on private schools are unavailable, but interviews withrepresentatives of independent and religious schools all told the same story: a glut of applicants, higher rejection rates. “We have people calling u s for spots two years down the road,” said Marilyn Collins of the Seven Hills School in Cincinnati. “We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters.”Public-opinion poll after poll indicates that Americans’ No. 1 concern is education. Now that the long economic boom has given parents more disposable income, many are turning to private schools, even at price tags of well over $10,000 a year. “We’re getting applicants from a broader area, geographically, than we ever have in the past,” said Betsy Haug h of the Latin School of Chicago, which experienced a 20 percent increase in applications this year.The problem for the applicants is that while demand has increased, supply has not. “Every year, there are a few children who do not find places, but this year, for the first time that I know of, there are a significant number of children who don’t have places,” said Krents, who also heads a private-school admissions group in New York.So what can parents do to give their 4-year-old an edge? Schools know there is no foolproof way to pick a class when children are so young. Many schools give preference to siblings or alumni children.Some use lotteries. But most rely on a mix of subjective and objective measures: tests that at best identify developmental maturity and cognitive potential, interviews with parents and observation of applicants in classroom settings. They also want a diverse mix. Children may end up on a waiting list simply because their birthdays fall at the wrong time of year, or because too many applicants were boys.The worst thing a parent can do is to pressure preschoolers to perform--for example, by pushing them to read or do math exercises before they’re ready. Instead, the experts say, parents should take a breath and look for alternatives. Another year in preschool may be all that’s needed. Parents, meanwhile, may need a more open mind about relatively unknown private schools--or about magnet schools in the public system. There’s no sign of the private-school boom letting up. Dal ton’s spring tours, for early birds interested inthe 2001-2002 school year, are filled. The wait list? Forget it. That’s closed, too.By Pat Wingert Newsweek; 05/15/2000, Vol. 135 Issue 20, p76, 2/3p, 1c注 (1) :本文选自 Newsweek , 05/15/2000, p761.The author uses the examples to show __________.[A]the concern of Americans[B]the charm of the private schools[C]the fierce situation for preschoolers[D]the economic situation of American families2.What is implied in Paragraph 4?[A]The harsh way of forming a class.[B]The high expectation of the parents.[C]The wise selection of the school.[D]The difficulty of getting enrolled.3.The author ’ s attitude toward this event is __________.[A]indifferent[B]apprehensive[C]supportive[D]indignant4.Instead of giving their children great pressureto outperform, the parents should ______.[A]avoid the competition and wait for another year[B]give up their first choice and go to the unknown school[C]let their children be and do what they want to do[D]deal with the matter more casually and rethink the situation5.The text intends to express _________.[A]the popularity of the private schools[B]parents ’ worry about their children ’ s schooling[C]the plight of the preschoolers[D]the severe competition in going to school篇章剖析本文采用提出问题 --- 分析问题的模式。

In the last half of the nineteenth century capital and labor were enlarging and perfecting their rival organizations on modern lines. Many an old firm was replaced by a limited liability company with a bureaucracy of salaried managers. The change met the technical requirements of the new age by engaging a large professional element and prevented the decline in efficiency that so commonly spoiled the fortunes of family firms in the second and third generation after the energetic founders. It was moreover a step away from individual initiative, towards collectivism and municipal and state-owned business. The railway companies, though still private business managed for the benefit of shareholders, were very unlike old family business. At the same time the great municipalities went into business to supply lighting, trams and other services to the taxpayers.The growth of the limited liability company and municipal business had important consequences. Such large, impersonal manipulation of capital and industry greatly increased the numbers and importance of shareholders as a class, an element in national life representing irresponsible wealth detached from the land and the duties of the landowners; and almost equally detached from the responsible management of business. All through the nineteenth century, America, Africa, India, Australia and parts of Europe were being developed by British capital, and British shareholders were thus enriched by the world's movement towards industrialization. Towns like Bournemouth and East Bourne sprang up to house large comfortable classes who had retired on their incomes, and who had no relation to the rest of the community except that of drawing dividends and occasionally attending a shareholders' meeting to dictate their orders to the management. On the other hand Shareholding meant leisure and freedom which was used by many of the later Victorians for the highest purpose of a great civilization.The shareholders as such had no knowledge of the lives, thoughts or needs of the workmen employed by the company in which he held shares, and his influence on the relations of capital and labour was not good. The paid manager acting for the company was in more direct relation with the men and their demands, but even he had seldom that familiar personal knowledge of the workmen which the employer had often had under the more patriarchal system of the old family business now passing away. Indeed the mere size of operations and the numbers of workmen involved rendered such personal relations impossible. Fortunately, however, the increasing power and organisation of the trade unions, at least in all skilled trades, enabled the workmen to meet on equal terms the managers of the companies who employed them. The cruel discipline of the strike and lockout taught the two parties to respect each other's strength and understand the value of fair negotiation. 1.It's true of the old family firms that ________. (A)they were spoiled by the younger generations (B)they failed for lack of individual initiative (C)they lacked efficiency compared with modern companies (D)they could supply adequate services to the taxpayers2.The growth of limited liability companies resulted in ________. (A)the separation of capital from management (B)the ownership of capital by managers (C)the emergence of capital and labour as two classes (D)the participation of shareholders in municipal business3.According to the passage, all of the following are true except that ________. (A)the shareholders were unaware of the needs of the workers (B)the old firm owners had a better understanding of their workers (C)the limited liability companies were too large to run smoothly (D)the trade unions seemed to play a positive role4.The author is most critical of ________. (A)family firm owners (B)landowners (C)managers (D)shareholders。

(40 points)The Sex Insulates It’s not unusual to see women in powerful jobs. Three of the last four secretaries of state have been women, and Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor is getting more media attention for her ethnicity than for her gender. Yet in the science, technology, engineering and math labor force, XX still trails XY. Why? Women are 37 percent less likely than men to earn science-related bachelor’s degrees, and they hold only a quarter of the jobs in the field. In a new paper titled “Sex and Science”, economists Scott Carrell, Marianne Page and James West offer one explanation: Some women lag in science not because they’re women—but because their professors aren’t. In their study, published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the authors examine the performance of nearly 9,500 Air Force Academy students who were randomly assigned to their professors between 2000 and 2008. They found that women tend to receive lower grades than similarly skilled men in their introductory math and science classes, but that this gap diminishes by two-thirds when female students are taught by female professors. The change is more dramatic for women who arrived at the Air Force Academy with high aptitude in math; when their professors are women, the gap in their performance disappears altogether. Such women are also 26 percent more likely to go on to major in science-related fields if all their initial math and science professors, as opposed to none, are women. This is not a case of female professors with a soft spot for female students. Science and math grades are determined by standardized tests, and the impact of the teacher’s gender disappears in English and history courses. Also, many female students excel with male science teachers. But overall, there is something special about women and teaching in science something the researchers can’t fully explain. “Do female professors serve as role models?”They ask. “Do they teach in ways that female students find more accessible?” Carrell, Page and West say they need more data to find answers. Let’s get a female number-cruncher—with a female instructor in her vast—on the case.1.Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor gets more media interest for her ethnicity than for her______.正确答案:gender解析:根据题干关键词Supreme Court nominee,Sonia Sotomayor,media interest定位到第一段第一句:...Three of the last four secretaries of state have been women,and SupremeCourt nominee Sonia Sotomayor is getting more media attention for her ethnicity than for hergender.可知,获得最高法院法官提名的Sonia Sotomayor的种族比她的性别更受到媒体关注,故答案是gender。

考研英语模拟试题二及答案解析word版篇1Text 4When a disease of epidemic proportions rips into the populace, scientists immediately get to work, trying to locate the source of the affliction and find ways to combat it. Oftentimes,success is achieved,as medical science is able to isolate the parasite, germ or cell that causes the problem and finds ways to effectively kill or contain it. In the most serious of cases, in which the entire population of a region or country may be at grave risk,it is deemed necessary to protect the entire population through vaccination,so as to safeguard lives and ensure that the disease will not spread.The process of vaccination allows the patients body to develop immunity to the virus or disease so that,if it is encountered, one can ward it off naturally. To accomplish this,a small weak or dead strain of the disease is actually injected into the patient in a controlled environment,so that his bodys immune system can learn to fight the invader properly. Information on how to penetrate the diseases defenses is transmitted to all elements of the patients immune system in a process that occurs naturally, in which genetic information is passed from cell to cell. This makes sure that, should the patientlater come into contact with the real problem, his body is well equipped and trained to deal with it, having already done so before.There are dangers inherent in the process,however. On occasion, even the weakened version of the disease contained in the vaccine proves too much for the body to handle, resulting in the immune system succumbing,and,therefore,the patients death. Such is the case of the smallpox vaccine,designed to eradicate the smallpox epidemic that nearly wiped out the entire Native American population and killed massive numbers of settlers. Approximately 1 in 10,000 people who receives the vaccine contract the smallpox disease from the vaccine itself and dies from it. Thus, if the entire population of the United States were to receive the Smallpox Vaccine today,3000 Americans would be left dead.Fortunately, the smallpox virus was considered eradicated in the early 1970s,ending the mandatory vaccination of all babies in America. In the event of a re-introduction of the disease,however,mandatory vaccinations may resume,resulting in more unexpected deaths from vaccination. The process, which is truly a mixed blessing, may indeed hide some hidden curses.36.The best title for the text may be?[A] “Vaccinations:A Blessing or A Curse”[B] “Principles of Vaccinations”[C] “Vaccines:Methods and Implications”[D] “A Miracle Cure Under Attack”37.What does the example of the Smallpox Vaccine illustrate?[A] The possible negative outcome of administering vaccines.[B] The practical use of a vaccine to control an epidemic disease.[C] The effectiveness of vaccines in eradicating certain disease.[D] The method by which vaccines are employed against the disease.38.The phrase “ward it off naturally” (Paragraph 2) most probably means?[A] dispose of it naturally [B] fight it off with ease[C] see to it reluctantly [D] split it up properly39.Which of the following is true according to the text?[A] Saving the majority would necessarily justify the death of the minority.[B] The immune system can be trained to fight weaker versions of a disease.[C] Mandatory vaccinations are indispensable to the survival of the populace.[D] The process of vaccination remains a mystery to be further resolved.40.The purpose of the author in writing this passage is?[A] to comment and criticize [B] to demonstrate and argue[C] to interest and entertain[D] to explain and informPart BSample oneDirections:In the following text, some sentences have been removed. For Questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A-G to fit into each of the numbered blanks. There are two extra choices, which do not fit in any of the blanks. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (10 points)We are seeing a series of paradoxes at the turn of the millennium. On the one hand, globalization means that nationalfrontiers are becoming increasingly meaningless,but on the other,we are being swept by a wave of parochialism,with countries clinging to the notion of sovereignty.41)?But there are so many factors in the world that make this position increasingly meaningless. Governments no longer have complete control over their economic and monetary policies, and many multinationals now have greater profits than individual countrys GDP.The end of the cold war has brought its own dangers and we need to find a new balance of power in the world. It has also spawned many conflicts. Governments must be prepared to surrender some authority to global and regional institutions or we risk world disorder. It is tragic that,just when we need a strong international organization, the United Nations is starved of funds and often sidelined by its own member states. What happened in East Timor was unforgivable because it was foreseeable. Angola has been another sad instance of international vacillation. 42)?I do think world war is less likely for the present, although I worry about the proliferation of nuclear weapons at one end and lethal small arms at the other. 43)?Another worry stems from the huge economic imbalances in a world where the richest 20 per cent have 86 per cent of global GDP, and the 20 poorest countries only one per cent.Humanitarian aid is no more than a palliative. 44)?The international implications of,for example,the collapse of Africa are unthinkable. There must be a new concept of security based not just on military and defense matters but on economic and social concerns too. 45)?The global pendulum has swung too far towards a total dependence on market forces,but finding some point ofbalance in the middle is extremely difficult. I am by nature optimistic, but in my gloomier moments I sometimes think the only solution will be an invasion from outer space-then at last everyone would unite!考研英语模拟试题二及答案解析word版篇2Text4Now that members of Generation Z are graduating college this springthe most commonly-accepted definition says this generation was bom after 1995, give or take a year-the attention has been rising steadily in recent weeks. GenZs are about to hit the streets looking for work in a labor market that's tighter than it's been in decades. And employers are planning on hiring about 17 percent more new graduates for jobs in the U.S. this year than last, according to a survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Everybody wants to know how the people who will soon inhabit those empty office cubicles will differ from those who came before them.If"entitled"is the most common adjective, fairly or not, applied to millennials (those bom between 1981 and 1995), the catchwords for Generation Z are practical and cautious. According to the career counselors and expert who study them, Generation Zs are clear-eyed, economic pragmatists. Despite graduating into the best economy in the past 50 years, Gen Zs know what an economic train wreck looks like. They were impressionable kids during the crash of 2008, when many of their parents lost their jobs or their life savings or both. They aren,'t interested in taking any chances. The booming economy seems to have done little to assuage this underlying generational sense of anxious urgency, especially for those who have college debt. College loan balances in the U.S. now stand at a record $1.5trillion, according to the Federal Reserve.One survey from Accenture found that 88 percent of graduating seniors this year chose their major with a job in mind. In a 2019 survey of University of Georgia students, meanwhile, the career office found the most desirable trait in a future employer was the ability to offer secure employment (followed by professional development and training, and then inspiring purpose). Job security or stability was the second most important career goal (work-life balance was number one), followed by a sense of being dedicated to a cause or to feel good about serving the great good.36. Generation Zs graduating college this spring_____.[A] are recognized for their abilities[B] are in favor of job offers[C] are optimistic about the labor market[D] are drawing growing public attention37. Generation Zs are keenly aware_____.[A] what a tough economic situation is like[B] what their parents expect of them[C] how they differ from past generations[D] I how valuable a counselors advice is38. The word"assuage"(line 9, para 2)is closet in meaning to_____.[A]define [B]relieve [C] maintain [D] deepen39.It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that Generation Zs_____.[A] care little about their job performance[B] give top priority to professional training[C]think it hard to achieve work-Life balance[D] have a clear idea about their future job40 Michelsen thinks that compared with millennials, Generation Zs are_____.[A]less realistic B] less adventurous [C]more diligent [D] more generous36. 【C】are drawing growing public attention细节题。

考研英语范文阅读模拟试题及答案解析2

考研英语范文阅读模拟试题及答案解析Much of the language used to describe monetary policy, such as steering the economy to a soft landing or a touch on the brakes, makes itself sound like a precise science. Nothing could be further from the truth. The link between interest rates and inflation is uncertain. And there are long, variable lags before policy changes have any effect on the economy. Hence there is an analogy that likens the conduct of monetary policy to driving a car with a blackened windscreen, a cracked rearview mirror and a faulty steering wheel.Given all these disadvantages, central bankers seem to have had much to boast about of late. Average inflation in the big seven industrial economies fell to a mere 2.3% last year, close to its lowest level in 30 years, before rising slightly to 2.5% this July. This is a long way below the double-digit rates which many countries experienced in the 1970s and early 1980s.It is also less than most forecasters had predicted. In late 1994 the panel of economists which The Economist polls each month said th at America’s inflation rate would average 3.5% in 1995. In fact, it fell to 2.6% in August, and is expected to average only about 3% for the year as a whole. In Britain and Japan inflation is running half a percentage point below the rate predicted at the end of last year. This is no flash in the pan; over the past couple of years, inflation has been consistently lower than expected in Britain and America.Economists have been particularly surprised by favourable inflation figures in Britain and the United States, since conventional measures suggest that both economies, and especially America’s, have little productive slack. America’s capacity utilisation, for example, hit historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate (5.6% in August) has fallen below most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment-the rate below which inflation has taken off on the past.Why has inflation proved so mild? The most thrilling explanation is, unfortunately, a little defective. Some economists argue that powerful structural changes in the world have upended the old economic models that were based upon the historical link between growth and inflation.1. From the passage we learn that ________.(A)there is a definite relationship between inflation and interest rates(B)economy will always follow certain models(C)the economic situation is better than expected(D)economists had foreseen the present economic situation2. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?(A)Making monetary policies is comparable to driving a car.(B)An extremely low jobless rate will lead to inflation.(C)A high unemployment rate will result from inflation.(D)Interest rates have an immediate effect on the economy.3. The sentence This is no flash in the pan (line 5, paragraph 3) means that ________.(A)the low inflation rate will last for some time(B)the inflation rate will soon rise(C)the inflation will disappear quickly(D)there is no inflation at present4. The passage shows that the author is ________ the present situation.(A)critical of (B)puzzled by (C)disappointed at (D)amazed at1.(C)意为:经济形势比预想的好。

There are about 105 males born for every 100 females,but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity, and among70-year-olds there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal ofmale mortality is being changed. Now, boy babies survive almost as well as girlsdo. This means that, for the first time, there will be an excess of boys inthose crucial years when they are searching for a mate. More important, anotherchance for natural selection has been removed.
