谨慎的(tight-lipped)老人们过去常说“在这个世界上，重要的不是你想要什么，而是你能够得到什么。
”
心理学(psychology)教导人们，如果你知道你想要什么，并且你想要的东西又合乎情理，那么你就能会得到它。
在脑海里，你可以为你的愿望描绘一幅蓝图(blueprint)，就像你绘制房屋的蓝图一样；日常生活中，我们每个人都在不断地描绘着这些蓝图。
如果我们想请朋友吃饭，我们就要定菜谱，列购物清单(make a shopping list)，并决定先做哪道菜。
这样的计划对于举行的任何形式的饭局都是必不可少的。
同样，如果你想找份工作，就应该拿张纸，写一份自我简评(brief account)。
为找工作制订计划时，应该以自己的实际情况为出发点，因为只有当你确切地知道你可以提供什么时，你才可能明智地(intelligently)计划到哪儿去求职(sell your services)。
实际上，你的这份自我评估是你工作经历的一个简介(sketch)，应当包括你的受教育程度、经历以及证明材料(reference)。
这样的简历很有用。
在填写正式申请表格(application blank)时可以作为参照，在面试时更是起极大的作用。
在与你交谈时，你可能的(could be)雇主将根据你的受教育程度、工作经历以及其他
资历(qualification)来确定你是否值得他雇用，因此你必须以相关的合理而有序的方式展现你的“商品”和能力。
当你为自己的能力和愿望仔细地筹划了一幅蓝图后，你就有了确切的(tangible)东西可推销了。
这样你
就可以找工作(hunt for a job)了。
你应当尽可能地收集所有有关你未来工作的信息。
查询(make inquiry)有关工作和公司的详细情况。
保持耳目灵敏，运用自己的判断。
每天花一定的时间寻找(seek)你想要的工作，并时刻记住：你现在的工作就是找份工作(secure a job)。
Passage 2
随着BBC (英国广播公司)国际电视服务节目的开播(start)，亚洲和美洲数以百万计的人不仅可以收听
到该公司的广播，还可以收看到它的电视新闻报道(news coverage)。
当然，英国的听众(listener)和观众(viewer)可以调频收看两个BBC 电视频道(television channel)、收听五个BBC 全国广播电台和几十个地方广播电台(radio station)的节目。
每户每年交八十三英镑的收视费(license fee)便可收看、收听体育新闻、喜剧、戏剧表演、音乐节目、新闻、时事(current affair)、教育、宗教、议会报道、儿童节目以及电影等。
BBC 已经连续运作(stretch)了七十多年，可谓历程辉煌：然而，现在的BBC 却前途未卜(in doubt)。
目前该公司还可以作为政府基金资助(publicly-funded)的公办广播机构(broadcasting organization)生存下去，但是它的作用、规模(size)以及它的节目已成为现阶段整个英国争论的话题(subject)。
这场争论是由英国政府发起的(launch)。
政府邀请任何对BBC 有看法的人(包括普通听众和观众)对公司的好、坏情况发表意见，他们甚至可以发表有关“公司是否值得办下去”这样的意见。
政府像这样征求意
见的原因是BBC 持有的皇家契约(royal charter)将于一九九六年到期(run out)，政府必须决定是让公司维持原状，还是实行改革(make change)。
公司的扞卫者中有很多人喜欢引用美国的口号：“如果东西没坏(broke)，就不要修它。
”他们说，
BBC“没有破产”，意思是说该公司没有垮掉(与“一文不名”一词的含义完全不同，“一文不名”意为没有资金)，为什么要自找麻烦去改变它呢
然而，BBC 将不得不实行改革，因为其周边的广播界(broadcasting world)正在发生变革。
撒切尔政府的广播法要求商业电视频道(TV channel)(独立电视台和第四频道)更加商业化,互相竞争广告业务(advertiser)，降低成本，裁减员工。
但是，从长远来看，正是新卫星频道(satellite channel)的出现由于它们的部分资金来自广告收入，部分来自用户的收视费(subscription)，才会带来最大的变革。
Passage 3
十九世纪后半叶，“资方(capital)和劳方(labor)”按现代方式不断壮大并完善(prefect)各自对立的(rival)组
(collectivism)和市营企业、国有企业(state owned business)的一个步骤。
虽然铁路公司还是为股东(shareholder)谋利(manage for the benefit)的私营企业(private business)，但同过去的家族式企业已大不相同了。
与此同时，市政当局(municipality)也开始涉足实业界，为纳税人(taxpayer)提供电力、交通(tram)和其它服务。
企业负责任的管理中的分离。
整个十九世纪，美洲、非洲、印度、澳大利亚和欧洲的部分地区都靠英国的资金发展，而英国的股东则因世界性的工业化而大发其财。
像Bournmouth和Eastbourne这样的城镇迅速发展起来，为大批“享乐”阶层提供了住所，而这些人靠自己的丰厚收入(income)过着隐居生活，这些人除了分取红利(dividend)、偶尔参加股东大会向管理人员发号施令外，他们与外界没有任何联系。
另一方面，“股权(shareholding)”意味着悠闲和自由，而这正是维多利亚时代后期许多人视之为伟大文明的最高目标。
的老字号的雇主通常十分了解工人的情况。
实际上，仅仅是经营(operation)规模和所涉及的工人人数就使这样的关系变得不可能。
然而，幸运的是，工会(trade union)的势力和组织在不断扩大，至少在技术行业(skilled trade)的工会是这样，这使得工人与雇用他们的公司经理的地位平等了。
罢工和封闭工厂的无情惩罚(discipline)使得双方懂得彼此尊重，理解了公平协商(fair negotiation)的价值。
Passage4
敏锐的(acute)外国观察家认为，美国人的适应能力(adaptiveness)以及善于创造性(inventiveness)得益于这种教育优势。
正如一八五三年一位访问过这里的英国委员会成员所报道的，“由于美国的孩子在学校接受了彻底的训练(discipline)，所以他们很快就成为熟练(skilled)工人。
”
更进一步激励(stimulus)发明的因素就是“奖励”制度，这种制度产生于专利(patent)制度之前，并与专利制度共存了(parallel)许多年。
这种奖励方法源于国外，它为发明者颁发奖章、奖金和其它奖励(incentive)。
在美国，给新发明(device)的众多奖项一般在农村的商品展销会(fair)和主要城市的工业博览会上颁发(award)。
美国人纷纷涌向这些展销会，去鉴赏那些新机械，因而使他们更新(renew)了自己的观点，坚信先进(advance)的技术可以造福人类。
由于对技术革新(innovation)的这种乐观态度，美国工人很轻易地习惯了机械技术(mechanical technology)所需的专门的非语言思维方式。
正如尤金·福格森所指出的，“一位技术家所考虑的东西不可能用确切的(unambiguous)语言描述；他处理这些东西的过程是一个视觉的、非语言过程……。
设计人员和发明者能够在他们的脑子里编制和应用(manipulate)那些尚不存在的设计。
”
了具有美国特征的竞争(emulation)。
如今，该词意味着纯粹的模仿(imitation)。
但在早期，它意味着为了名望和出类拔萃(excellence)而进行的友好而激烈的竞争。
Passage5
据传言，二十多本有关创世纪论(creationism)和进化论(evolution)的书籍即将问世。
有几本书已经面世
数的非原教旨主义(non fundamentalist)宗教领袖们已经开始把科学的创世纪论看成是“拙劣的科学和拙劣的宗教”。
金切尔的书在前四章非常简洁地介绍了进化论。
作者在恰当的地方引入了对创世纪论者的批评，并提
(deception)和歪曲(distortion)事实的程度可能会让他们感到气愤和吃惊，由于他们的基本动机motivation)是为了宗教，人们原本还期待他们会做出更具基督精神的作为。
(philosopher)
说，书中有关创世纪论者的最后一章阐述得相当清楚。
这部优秀作品的封皮上引用了斯蒂芬·杰·古尔德的一句话，“本书代表的就是理性(reason)”。
“这本书也的确这么做——如果理性是评判创世纪论与进化论之争的惟一标准的话，那么一切问题就已解决了。

Its composite stock price index (Kospi) has risen by more than 25% since January 1st. The rally, which has been driven by foreign buying, is expected to continue next year, for two reasons: encouraging economic fundamentals, and the introduction of derivatives so beloved of the worlds hedge funds.On January 28th next year the Korea Stock Exchange is due to introduce option contracts on the shares of seven listed companies: SK Telecom, Korea Electric Power, Korea Telecom, Samsung Electronics, Hyundai Motor, Pohang Iron Steel and Kookmin Bank. And as early as July, the Financial Supervisory Commission is expected to allow investment banks to sell over-the-counter derivatives, such as equity or interest-rate swaps. Trading volume on the exchange will increase accordingly, says Lee Wonki at Merrill Lynch. Foreigners hold nearly 90 trillion won ($70 billion) of Korean shares, 37% of the market. Their slice of the trading of Kospi 200 index futures and options rose to 10% this year, from about 5% a year ago. But the Kospi index, covering 200 companies, is not the best way to hedge foreign portfolios, which are invested mainly in the seven blue-chipshares. Yet derivatives alone will not sustain Korean equities unless the economy turns around. There are signs that it has reached bottom, with real GDP estimated to have grown by at least 2.8% this year (slower than last year but higher than earlier forecasts of 2% or less). Jin Nyum, the finance minister, predicts that, although exports may suffer next year if the Japanese yen continues to fall, domestic demand and public spending will help real GDP to grow near to the countrys full potential of 5%.Some analysts argue that the recent market rise has been caused by investors blind faith in bank and technology shares. The latter rallied last month, but then hesitated as Micron, an American memory-chip maker, blew hot and cold on taking a stake in or allying with Hynix, Koreas debt-laden maker of memory chips.Nevertheless, the rally is likely to continue, says Koh Wonjong, of SG Securities in Seoul. That is because South Koreas industries are more diversified--into information technology, cars, shipbuilding, steel and services--than those of other Asian countries. In Taiwan, telecoms, media and technology shares account for 80% of the market.The restructuring of some big companies, such as Hynix and Daewoo Motor, remains incomplete, as does bank reform. But the past four years of financial and corporate change may soon pay off. For many companies, balance-sheet problems have turned into the need to measure profits, a far more welcome task.Economist; 12/22/2001, Vol. 361 Issue 8253, p86, 1/2p, 1 graph词汇注释bar prep. 除…之外rally n. 重整;(市场价格) 回升，跌后复升;恢复健康; 振作精神;集会, 大会;汽车赛会over-the-counter【证券】 (不通过交易所)买卖双方直接交易的，场外交易的(每位买者或卖者都是经过协议与议价来达成股票的买卖)option n. 选择权, [经]买卖的特权interest-rate swap 利率掉期;利率调期won [wCn] n.

23. Female capuchin monkeys were chosen for the research most probably because they are
The researches suggest that capuchin monkeys, like humans, are guided by social emotions.In the wild, they are a co-operative, group-living species, Such co-operation is likely to be stable only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of righteousindignation, it seems, are not the preserve of people alone, Refusing a lesser reward completely makes these feelings abundantly clear to other members of the group.However, whether such a sense of fairness evolved independently in capuchins andhumans, or whether it stems from the common ancestor that the species had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question.

By splitting up the subject matter into smaller units, one man could continue to handle the information and use it as the basis for further research. But specialisation was only one of a series of related developments in science affecting the process of communication. Another was the growing professionalisation of scientific activity.No clear-cut distinction can be drawn between professionals and amateurs in science: exceptions can be found to any rule. Nevertheless, the word 'amateur' does carry a connotation that the person concerned is not fully integrated into the scientific community and, in particular, may not fully share its values. The growth of specialisation in the nineteenth century, with its consequent requirement of a longer, more complex training, implied greater problems for amateur participation in science. The trend was naturally most obvious in those areas of science based especially on a mathematical or laboratory training, and can be illustrated in terms of the development of geology in the United Kingdom.A comparison of British geological publications over the last century and a half reveals not simply an increasing emphasis on the primacy of research, but also a changing definition of what constitutes an acceptable research paper. Thus, in the nineteenthcentury, local geological studies represented worthwhile research in their own right; but, in the twentieth century, local studies have increasingly become acceptable to professionals only if they incorporate, and reflect on, the wider geological picture. Amateurs, on the other hand, have continued to pursue local studies in the old way. The overall result has been to make entrance to professional geological journals harder for amateurs, a result that has been reinforced by the widespread introduction of refereeing, first by national journals in the nineteenth century and then by several local geological journals in the twentieth century. As a logical consequence of this development, separate journals have now appeared aimed mainly towards either professional or amateur readership. A rather similar process of differentiation has led to professional geologists coming together nationally within one or two specific societies, whereas the amateurs have tended either to remain in local societies or to come together nationally in a different way.Although the process of professionalisation and specialisation was already well under way in British geology during the nineteenth century, its full consequences were thus delayed until the twentieth century. In science generally, however, the nineteenth century must be reckoned as the crucial period for this change in the structure of science.1. The growth of specialisation in the 19th century might be more clearly seen in sciences such as ________.[A] sociology and chemistry [B] physics and psychology[C] sociology and psychology [D] physics and chemistry2. We can infer from the passage that ________.[A] there is little distinction between specialisation andprofessionalisation[B] amateurs can compete with professionals in some areas of science[C] professionals tend to welcome amateurs into the scientific community[D] amateurs have national academic societies but no local ones3. The author writes of the development of geology to demonstrate ________.[A] the process of specialisation and professionalisation[B] the hardship of amateurs in scientific study[C] the change of policies in scientific publications[D] the discrimination of professionals against amateurs4. The direct reason for specialisation is ________.[A] the development in communication [B] the growth of professionalisation[C] the expansion of scientific knowledge [D] the splitting up of academic societies>>>>>>答案解析<<<<<<重点词汇：1.specialisation(专业化)即special+is(e)+ation，special(特别的;额外的)，-ise动词后缀(specialise即v.专业化)，-ation名词后缀;specialist(专家;专科医生)←special+ist后缀表“人”。

And that dividedoes exist today. My wife and I lectured about this looming danger twenty yearsago. What was less visible then, however, were the new, positive forces thatwork against the digital divide. There are reasons to be optimistic。
There are technological reasons to hope the digital divide willnarrow. As the Internet becomes more and more commercialized, it is in theinterest of business to universalize access—after all, the morepeople online, the more potential customers there are. More and moregovernments, afraid their countries will be left behind, want to spreadInternet access. Within the next decade or two, one to two billion people onthe planet will be netted together. As a result, I now believe the digitaldivide will narrow rather than widen in the years ahead. And that is very goodnews because the Internet may well be the most powerful tool for combatingworld poverty that we've ever had。

More apparent reasonableness followed.There will now be a seven-day wait for the job-seeker's allowance."Those first few days should be spent looking for work, not looking to sign on," he claimed."We're doing these things because we know they help people stay off benefits and help those on benefits get into work faster."Help? Really? On first hearing, this was the socially concerned chancellor, trying to change lives for the better,complete with "reforms" to an obviously indulgent system that demands too little effort from the newly unemployed to find work, and subsidises laziness.What motivated him, we were to understand, was his zeal for "fundamental fairness"protecting the taxpayer, controlling spending and ensuring that only the most deserving claimants received their benefits.Losing a job is hurting: you don't skip down to the job centre with a song in your heart,delighted at the prospect of doubling your income from the generous state.It is financially terrifying, psychologically embarrassing and you know that support is minimal and extraordinarily hard to get.You are now not wanted; you are now excluded from the work environment that offers purpose and structure in your life.Worse, the crucial income to feed yourself and your family and pay the bills has disappeared.Ask anyone newly unemployed what they want and the answer is always: a job.But in Osborne land, your first instinct is to fall into dependency--permanent dependency if you can get it supported by a state only too ready to indulge your falsehood.It is as though 20 years of ever-tougher reforms of the job search and benefit administration system never happened.The principle of British welfare is no longer that you can insure yourself against the risk of unemployment and receive unconditional payments if the disaster happens.Even the very phrase "job-seeker's allowance" is about redefining the unemployed as a "job-seeker" who had no fundamental right to a benefit,he or she has earned through making national insurance contributions.Instead, the claimant receives a time-limited "allowance," conditional on actively seeking a job;no entitlement and no insurance, at 71.70 pounds a week, one of the least generous in the EU.考研英语阅读翻译为了"让生活变得更好"，减少"依赖"，财政大臣乔治·奥斯本引进了"前期工作搜索"方案。

考研英语阅读理解典型范文含译文翻译版More and more consumers across the country are using cashless payment methods, The rapid development ofthird-party mobile payment tools is helpingto encourage cashless payment across the country, said Dong Ximiao, a researcher at the Renmin University of China.Although there were 3,4 billion third-partypayment accounts in total in China in 2016. China is not the first country to seek a cashless society. Developed states like Sweden, Denmark and Singapore are also seeing that increase.However, the rapid development of cashless payments does not mean there no challenges and criticisms. Alibaba’s Hema store has come into the spotlight recently. Media reports said that consumers can’t buy goods with cash there, which would be considered illegal.Alipay and WeChat Pay, the nation’s two major third party mobile payment tools, also launched campaigns this month to encourage more people to use cashless payment methods, which caused concern over whether cash will soon disappear“Some offline sellers refuse to accept cash,which influences the natural circulation of cash,’said Dong. He stressed that a cashless society would not mean that cash would completely disappear. Also it’s important to remember that nearly half of China’s population live in the countries, unable to enjoy innovation brought by the Internet, Dong said. And when it comes to China’s senior citizens most of them prefer to use cash in their daily lives, he added.“It’ ridiculous to question digital paymenttools’ contribution to financial development. In thelong term, various payment methods will be used by consumers, and merchants should respect consumers’payment habits. Dong noted.中国人民大学研究员董希淼表示，越来越多的中国消费者正在使用无现金支付方式，第三方移动支付工具的快速发展，有助于鼓励全国范围内的无现金支付。

This long story still unfolds.In many respects, the dearth of moral purpose frames not only the fact of such widespread phone hacking but the terms on which the trial took place.One of the astonishing revelations was how little Rebekah Brooks knew of what went on in her newsroom,how little she thought to ask and the fact that she never inquired how the stories arrived.The core of her successful defence was that she knew nothing.In today's world, it has become normal that well-paid executives should not be accountable for what happens in the organisations that they run.Perhaps we should not be so surprised.For a generation, the collective doctrine has been that the sorting mechanism of society should be profit.The words that have mattered are efficiency, flexibility, shareholder value,business-friendly, wealth generation, sales, impact and, in newspapers, circulation.Words degraded to the margin have been justice, fairness, tolerance, proportionality and accountability.The purpose of editing the News of the World under Rupert Murdoch was not to promote reader understanding, to be fair in what was written or to betray any commonhumanity.It was to ruin lives in the quest for circulation and impact.Ms Brooks may or may not have had suspicions about how her journalists got their stories,but she asked no questions, gave no instructions—nor received traceable, recorded answers.考研英语阅读翻译两年前，鲁伯特·默多克之女伊丽莎白曾说“太多的新闻机构有令人不安的正直缺失。

There are about 105 males born for every 100 females, but this ratio drops to near balance at the age of maturity, and among 70-year-olds there are twice as many women as men. But the great universal of male mortality is being changed. Now, by babies survive almost as well as girls do. This means that, for the first time, there will be an excess of boys in those crucial years when they are searching for a mate. More important, another chance for natural selection has been removed. Fifty years ago, the chance of a baby (particularly a boy baby)surviving depended on its weight. A kilogram too light or too heavy meant almost certain death. Today it makes almost no difference. Since much of the variation is due to genes one more agent of evolution has gone. There is another way to commit evolutionary suicide: stay alive, but have fewer children. Few people are as fertile as in the past. Except in some religious communities, very few women has 15 children. Nowadays the number of births, like the age of death, has become average. Most of us have roughly the same number of offspring. Again, differences between people and the opportunity for natural selection to take advantage of it have diminished. India shows what is happening. The country offers wealth for a few in the great cities and poverty for the remaining tribal peoples. The grand mediocrity of today ---everyone being the same in survival and number of offspring---means that natural selection has lost 80% of its power in upper-middle-class India compared to the tribes. For us, this means that evolution is over; the biological Utopia has arrived. Strangely, it has involved little physical change No other species fills so many places in nature. But in the pass 100,000 years--- even the past 100year ---our lives have been transformed but our bodies have not. We did not evolve, because machines and society did it for us. Darwin had a phrase to describe those ignorant of evolution: they "look at an organic being as a savage looks at a ship, as at something wholly beyond his comprehension." No doubt we will remember a 20th century way of life beyond comprehension for its ugliness. But however amazed our descendants may be at how far from Utopia we were, they will look just like us. 5. What used to be the danger in being a man according to the first paragraph? [A]A lack of mates. [B]A fierce competition. [C]A lower survival rate. [D]A defective gene. 6. What does the example of India illustrate? [A]Wealthy people tend to have fewer children than poor people. [B]Natural selection hardly works among the rich and the poor.
