2007英语考研二真题
2007英语考研二真题In recent years, the number of students pursuing postgraduate education in English has been increasing rapidly in China. As the national English proficiency test for postgraduate admissions, the English Graduate Entrance Examination (EGEE), commonly known as the English exam for the postgraduate entrance, plays a vital role in determining the success or failure of applicants. In 2007, the EGEE posed a challenging set of questions that tested the candidates' comprehensive understanding of English language skills. Let's take a closer look at the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance.Section I: Reading ComprehensionThe reading comprehension section of the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance primarily focused on testing the candidates' ability to understand and analyze written English passages. It consisted of several passages, each followed by multiple-choice questions that required the candidates to identify the main idea, understand the author's tone, and infer meaning from contextual clues.One particular passage titled "Climate Change: The Human Impact" discussed the relationship between human activities and the Earth's climate. The passage highlighted the adverse effects of greenhouse gas emissions on global warming and suggested that individuals and governments alike should take action to mitigate climate change. Questions based on this passage tested the candidates' understanding of scientific concepts, as well as their ability to draw logical conclusions.Section II: Listening ComprehensionThe listening comprehension section aimed to evaluate the candidates' ability to comprehend spoken English in various contexts. It consisted of multiple recorded dialogues and monologues, followed by questions about the content, main ideas, and specific details. Candidates were required to carefully listen and understand the speaker's main points, supporting arguments, and any implied meanings.One dialogue in the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance focused on job interviews. It simulated a conversation between an interviewer and an interviewee. The dialogue tested the candidates' ability to extract information from a conversation, understand the context, and interpret the intentions of the speakers.Section III: Grammar and VocabularyThe grammar and vocabulary section assessed the candidates' knowledge and application of English grammar rules and vocabulary usage. It comprised various exercises that required candidates to identify errors in sentences, complete sentences with appropriate words, and select synonyms or antonyms based on context.One exercise in the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance asked candidates to identify the grammatical errors in a given set of sentences. This exercise tested the candidates' understanding of English grammar, including subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and sentence structure.Section IV: TranslationThe translation section tested the candidates' ability to accurately translate English sentences into Chinese and vice versa. It consisted of two parts – English to Chinese and Chinese to English translations. The candidates were required to demonstrate their proficiency in both languages and accurately convey the meaning and nuances of the original text.One translation exercise in the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance asked candidates to translate an English sentence into Chinese. This exercise evaluated the candidates' Chinese language skills, as well as their understanding of cultural differences and idiomatic expressions.ConclusionThe 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance provided a comprehensive assessment of candidates' English language skills. Through its challenging reading comprehension, listening comprehension, grammar and vocabulary, and translation sections, the exam tested candidates' abilities to understand and analyze written and spoken English, apply grammatical and vocabulary knowledge, and accurately translate between English and Chinese. This exam played a crucial role in determining the admission of postgraduate students studying in English-speaking institutions in China.Overall, the 2007 English exam for the postgraduate entrance highlighted the importance of comprehensive language proficiency and served as a benchmark for evaluating candidates' English language abilities. It reflected the increasing demand for skilled professionals with strong English language skills in an increasingly globalized world.。

2007年全国硕士研究生考试英语真题及答案2
Section II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections：Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A， B， C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. （40 points）Text 1If you were to examine the birth certificates of every soccer player in 2006's World Cup tournament you would most likely find a noteworthy quirk elite soccer later months. If you then examined the European national youth teams that feed the World Cup and professional ranks， you would find this strange phenomenon to be even more pronounced.What might account for this strange phenomenon？ Here are a few guesses： a） certain astrological signs confer superior soccer skills. b） winter-born bathes tend to have higher oxygen capacity which increases soccer stamina. c） soccer mad parents are more likely to conceive children in springtime at the annual peak of soccer mania. d） none of the above. Anders Ericsson， a 58-year-old psychology professor at Florida State University， says he believes strongly in “none of the above.” Ericsson grew up in Sweden， and studied nuclear engineering until he realized he realized he would have more opportunity to conduct his own research if he switched to psychology. His first experiment nearly years ago， involved memory： training a person to hear and then repeat a random series of numbers. “With the first subject. after about 20 hours of training his digit span had risen from 7 to 20，” Ericsson recalls. “He kept improving， and after about 200 hours of training he had risen to over 80 numbers.”This success coupled with later research showing that memory itself as not genetically determined， led Ericsson to conclude that the act of memorizing is more of a cognitive exercise than an intuitive one. In other words， whatever inborn differences two people may exhibit in their abilities to memorize those differences are swamped by how well each person “encodes” the information. And the best way to learn how to encode information meaningfully， Ericsson determined， was a process known as deliberate practice. Deliberate practice entails more than simply repeating a task. Rather， it involves setting specific goals， obtaining immediate feedback and concentrating as much on technique as on outcome.Ericsson and his colleagues have thus taken to studying expert performers in a wide range of pursuits， including soccer. They gather all the data they can， not just predominance statistics and biographical details but also the results of their own lavatory experiments with high achievers. Their work makes a rather startling assertion： the trait we commonly call talent is highly overrated. Or， put another way， expert performers whether in memory or surgery， ballet or computer programming are nearly always made， not born.[410 words]21. The birthday phenomenon found among soccer players is mentioned to [A] stress the importance of professional training. [B] spotlight the soccer superstars in the World Cup. [C] introduce the topic of what males expert performance. [D] explain why some soccer teams play better than others.22. The word “mania” （Line 4， Paragraph 2） most probably means [A] fun. [B] craze. [C] hysteria. [D] excitement.23. According to Ericsson good memory [A] depends on meaningful processing of information. [B] results from intuitive rather than cognitive exercises. [C] is determined by genetic rather than psychological factors. [D] requires immediate feedback and a high degree of concentration.24. Ericsson and his colleagues believe that [A] talent is a dominating factor for professional success. [B] biographical data provide the key to excellent performance. [C] the role of talent tends to be overlooked. [D] high achievers owe their success mostly to nurture.25. Which of the following proverbs is closest to the message the text tries to convey？ [A] “Faith will move mountains.” [B] “One reaps what one sows.” [C] “Practice makes perfect.” [D] “Like father， like son”Text 2 For the past several years， the Sunday newspaper supplement Parade has featured a column called “Ask Marilyn.”People are invited to query Marilyn vos Savant， who at age 10 had tested at a mental level of someone about 23 years old； that gave her an IQ of 228-the highest score ever recorded. IQ tests ask you to complete verbal and visual analogies，to envision paper after it has been folded and cut， and to deduce numerical sequences， among other similar tasks. So it isa bit confusing when vos Savant fields such queries from the average Joe （whose IQ is 100） as， What's the difference between love and fondness？ Or what is the nature of luck and coincidence？ It's not obvious how the capacity to visualize objects and to figure out numerical patterns suits one to answer questions that have eluded some of the best poets and philosophers. Clearly， intelligence encompasses more than a score on a test. Just what does it means to be smart？ How much of intelligence can be specified， and how much can we learn about it from neurology， genetics， computer science and other fields？ The defining term of intelligence in humans still seems to be the IQ score， even though IQ tests are not given as often as they used to be. The test comes primarily in two forms： the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale and the Wechsler Intelligence Scales （both come in adult and children's version）。

2007年考研英语2卷子
2007年考研英语2卷子Certainly! Here's a creative piece written in American English, inspired by the title "2007 Graduate Entrance Examination English Paper II":As the clock ticked away, the room filled with the hum of concentration and the occasional scratch of a pen on paper.It was the year 2007, and the air was thick with anticipation. The Graduate Entrance Examination English Paper II was aboutto determine the academic fate of many.In the front corner, a young woman with a determined look on her face was carefully reading the instructions for the essay section. Her name was Emily, and this was her second attempt at the exam. She had spent countless hours preparing, her notes sprawled across her small apartment, each one a testament to her dedication.Across the aisle, a man named Daniel was nervouslytapping his pen against the desk. He had been out of schoolfor a few years, working in the IT sector, but the call of academia was too strong to ignore. He had left his job to pursue a master's degree, and this exam was his gateway back.The proctor announced the start of the exam, and the room fell silent. Students began to write, their minds racing to recall the vocabulary and grammar rules they had memorized. Emily's hand moved swiftly across the page, her essay on theimportance of cultural exchange in a globalized world taking shape with each word.Daniel, on the other hand, was struggling. The reading comprehension section was proving to be more challenging than he had anticipated. He forced himself to focus, to read between the lines and decipher the subtle nuances of the text.As the exam progressed, the room became a battleground of wits and wills. Each student was locked in their own personal struggle, the only sounds the rustling of papers and the soft sighs of concentration.The essay question asked the test-takers to discuss the impact of technology on education. Emily's eyes lit up as she began to outline the points she had practiced. She was passionate about the subject, having seen firsthand how technology could level the playing field for students fromall walks of life.Time was running short, and the proctor warned that there were only fifteen minutes left. A wave of tension washed over the room. Daniel, realizing he had fallen behind, began to skim through the questions, trying to cover as much aspossible in the remaining time.Finally, the proctor called time, and the students put down their pens. A collective exhale echoed through the roomas the papers were collected. Some students exchanged glances of relief or frustration, while others simply stared blankly ahead, their minds still processing the intense experiencethey had just endured.As they filed out of the room, Emily and Daniel, along with the rest of the test-takers, knew that their futures were now in the hands of the examiners. The Graduate Entrance Examination English Paper II had been a challenge, but it was only the beginning of their journey towards academic and professional growth.This piece is a fictional narrative inspired by the title and does not represent an actual exam paper or its content.。

Answer the questions below each passage by choosing A, B, C and D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.Passage OnePrior to the 20th century, many languages with small numbers of speakers survived for centuries. The increasingly interconnected modern world makes it much more difficult for small language communities to live in relative isolation, a key factor in language maintenance and preservation.It remains to be seen whether the world can maintain its linguistic and cultural diversity in the centuries ahead. Many powerful forces appear to work against it :population growth, which pushes migrant populations into the world’s last isolated locations; mass tourism; global telecommunications and mass media; and the spread of gigantic global corporations. All of these forces appear to signify a future in which the language of advertising, popular culture, and consumer products become similar. Already English and a few other major tongues have emerged as global languages of commerce and communication. For many of the world’s peoples, learning one of these languages is viewed as the key to education, economic opportunity, and a better way of life.Only about 3,000 languages now in use are expected to survive the coming century. Are most of the rest doomed in the century after that?Whether most of these languages survive will probably depend on how strongly cultural groups wish to keep their identity alive through a native language. To do so will require an emphasis on bilingualism(mastery of two languages). Bilingual speakers could use their own language in smaller spheres---at home, among friends, in community settings---and a global language at work, in dealings with government, and in commercial spheres. In this way, many small languages could sustain their cultural and linguistic integrity alongside global languages, rather than yield to the homogenizing(同化的)forces of globalization.Ironically, the trend of technological innovation that has threatened minority languages could also help save them. For example, some experts predict that computer software translation tools will one day permit minority language speakers to browse the Internet using their native tongues. Linguists are currently using computer—aided learning tools to teach a variety of threatened languages.For many endangered languages, the line between revival and death is extremely thin. Language is remarkably resilient(有活力的),however. It is not just a tool for communicating, but also a powerful way of separating different groups, or of demonstrating group identity. Many indigenous(原生的，土著的)communities have shown that it is possible to live in the modern world while reclaiming their unique identities through language.41.Minority languages can be best preserved in __________.A.an increasingly interconnected worldB.maintaining small numbers of speakersC.relatively isolated language communitiesD.following the tradition of the 20th century42.According to Paragraph 2, that the world can maintain its linguistic diversity in the futureis _______.A.uncertainB.unrealisticC.foreseeableD.definite43.According to the author, bilingualism can help_________.A.small languages become acceptable in work placesB.homogenize the world’s languages and culturesC.global languages reach home and community settingsD.speakers maintain their linguistic and cultural identityputer technology is helpful for preserving minority languages in that it_________.A.makes learning a global language unnecessaryB.facilitates the learning and using of those languagesC.raises public awareness of saving those languagesD.makes it easier for linguists to study those languages45.In the author’s view, many endangered languages are________.A.remarkably well-kept in this modern worldB.exceptionally powerful tools of communicationC.quite possible to be revived instead of dying outD.a unique way of bringing different groups togetherPassage TwoEveryone，it seems，has a health problem。
