But economists say families about to go into debt to fund four years of partying, as well as studying, can console themselves with the knowledge that college is an investment that, unlike many bank stocks, should yield huge dividends.A 2008 study by two Harvard economists notes that the " labor-market premium to skill" —or the a-mount college graduates earned that's greater than what high-school graduate earned — decreased for much of the 20th century, but has come back with avengeance since the 1980s. In 2005, the typical full-time year-round U. S. worker with a four-year college degree earned $ 50, 900, 62% more than the $ 31, 500 earned by a worker with only a high-school diploma.There's no question that going to college is a smart economic choice. But a look at the strange variations in tuition reveals that the choice about which college to attend doesn't come down merely to dollars and cents. Does going to Columbia University (tuition, room and board $49, 260 in 2007-08) yield a 40% greater return than attending the University of Colorado at Boulder as an out-of-state student ($ 35, 542)? Probably not. Does being an out-of-state student at the University of Colorado at Boulder yield twice the amount of income as being an in-state student ($ 17, 380) there? Not likely.No, in this consumerist age, most buyers aren't evaluating college as an investment, but rather as a consumer product —like a car or clothes or a house. And with such purchases, price is only one of many crucial factors to consider.As with automobiles, consumers in today's college marketplace have vast choices, and people search for the one that gives them the most comfort and satisfaction in line with their budgets. This accounts for the willingness of people to pay more for different types of experiences (such as attending a private liberal-arts college or going to an out-of-state public school that has a great marine-biology program). And just as two auto purchasers might spend an equal amount of money on very different cars, college students (or, more accurately, their parents) often show a willingness to pay essentially the same price for vastly different products. So which is it? Is college an investment product like a stock or a consumer product like a car? In keeping with the automotive world's hottest consumer trend, maybe it's best to characterize it as a hybrid; an expensive consumer product that, over time, will pay rich dividends.31 What's the opinion of economists about going to college?（A）Huge amounts of money are being wasted on campus socializing.（B）It doesn't pay to run into debt to receive a college education.（C）College education is rewarding in spite of the startling costs.（D）Going to college doesn't necessarily bring the expected returns.32 The two Harvard economists note in their study that, for much of the 20th century,______.（A）enrollment kept decreasing in virtually all American colleges and universities（B）the labor market preferred high-school to college graduates（C）competition for university admissions was far more fierce than today（D）the gap between the earnings of college and high-school graduates narrowed33 Students who attend an in-state college or university can______.（A）save more on tuition（B）receive a better education（C）take more liberal-arts courses（D）avoid traveling long distances34 In this consumerist age, most parents______.（A）regard college education as a wise investment（B）place a premium on the prestige of the college（C）think it crucial to send their children to college（D）consider college education a consumer product34 Imagine waking up and finding the value of your assets has been halved. No,you're not an investor in one of those hedge funds that failed completely. With the dollar slumping to a 26-year low against the pound, already-expensive London has become quite unaffordable. A coffee at Starbucks, just as unavoidable in England as it is in the United States, runs about $ 8.The once all-powerful dollar isn't doing a Titanic against just the pound. It is sitting at a record low against the euro and at a 30-year low against the Canadian dollar. Even the Argentine pesoand Brazilian real are thriving against the dollar.The weak dollar is a source of humiliation, for a nation's self-esteem rests in part on the strength of its currency. It's also a potential economic problem, since a declining dollar makes imported food more expensive and exerts upward pressure on interest rates.And yet there are substantial sectors of the vast U. S. economy — from giant companies like Coca-Cola to mom-and-pop restaurant operators in Miami — for which the weak dollar is most excellent news.Many Europeans may view the U. S. as an arrogant superpower that has become hostile to foreigners. But nothing makes people think more warmly of the U. S. than a weak dollar. Through April, the total number of visitors from abroad was up 6.8 percent from last year. Should the trend continue, the number of tourists this year will finally top the 2, 000 peak? Many Europeans now apparently view the U. S. the way many Americans view Mexico — as a cheap place to vacation, shop and party, all while ignoring the fact that the poorer locals can't afford to join the merrymaking.The money tourists spend helps decrease our chronic trade deficit. So do exports, which thanks in part to the weak dollar, soared 11 percent between May 2006 and May 2007. For the first five months of 2007, the trade deficit actually fell 7 percent from 2006. If you own shares in large American corporations, you're a winner in the weak-dollar gamble. Last week Coca-Cola's stick bubbled to a five-year high after it reported a fantastic quarter. Foreign sales accounted for 65 percent of Coke's beverage business. Other American companies profiting from this trend include McDonald's and IBM.American tourists, however, shouldn't expect any relief soon. The dollar lost strength the way many marriages break up —slowly, and then all at once. And currencies don't turn on a dime. So if you want to avoid the pain inflicted by the increasingly pathetic dollar, cancel that summer vacation to England and look to New England. There, the dollar is still treated with a little respect.35 Why do Americans feel humiliated?（A）Their economy is plunging.（B）They can't afford trips to Europe.（C）Their currency has slumped.（D）They have lost half of their assets.36 How does the current dollar affect the life of ordinary Americans?（A）They have to cancel their vacations in New England.（B）They find it unaffordable to dine in mom-and-pop restaurants.（C）They have to spend more money when buying imported goods.（D）They might lose their jobs due to potential economic problems.37 How do many Europeans feel about the U. S. with the devalued dollar?（A）They feel contemptuous of it.（B）They are sympathetic with it.（C）They regard it as a superpower on the decline.（D）They think of it as a good tourist destination.38 What is the author's advice to Americans?（A）They treat the dollar with a little respect.（B）They try to win in the weak-dollar gamble.（C）Their vacation should be at home rather than abroad.（D）They treasure their marriages all the more.38 What's hot for 2007 among the very rich? A $ 7.3 million diamond ring. A trip to Tanzania to hunt wild animals. Oh, and income inequality.Sure, some leftish billionaires like George Soros have been railing against income inequality for years. But increasingly, centrist and right-wing billionaires are starting to worry about income inequality and the fate of the middle class.In December, Mortimer Zuckerman wrote a column in U. S. News & World Report, which he owns. "Our nation's core bargain with the middle class is disintegrating," lamented (哀叹) the 117th-richest man in America. "Most of our economic gains have gone to people at the very top of the income ladder. Average income for a household of people of working age, by contrast, has fallen five years in a raw." He noted that, "Tens of millions of Americans live in fear that a major health problem can reduce them to bankruptcy."Wilbur Ross Jr. has echoed Zuckerman's anger over the bitter struggles faced by middle-class Americans. "It's an outrage that any American's life expectancy should beshortened simply because the company they worked for went bankrupt and ended health-care coverage," said the former chairman of the International Steel Group.What's happening? The very rich are just as trendy as you and I, and can be so when it comes to politics and policy. Given the recent change of control in Congress, the popularity of measures like increasing the minimum wage, and efforts by California's governor to offer universal health care, these guys don't need their own personal weathermen to know which waythe wind blows.It's possible that plutocrats are expressing solidarity with the struggling middle class as part of an effort to insulate themselves from confiscatory tax policies. But the prospect that income inequality will lead to higher taxes on the wealthy doesn't keep plutocrats up at night. They can live with that.No, what they fear was that the political challenges of sustaining support for global economic integration will be more difficult in the United States because of what has happened to the distribution of income and economic insecurity.In other words, if middle-class Americans continue to struggle financially as the ultrawealthy grow ever wealthier, it will be increasingly difficult to maintain political support for the free flow of goods, services, and capital across borders. And when the United States places obstacles in the way of foreign investors and foreign goods, it's likely to encourage reciprocal action abroad. For people who buy and sell companies, or who allocate capital to markets all around the world, that's the real nightmare.39 What is the current topic of common interest among the very rich in America? （A）The fate of the ultrawealthy people.（B）The disintegration of the middle class.（C）The inequality in the distribution of wealth.（D）The conflict between the left and the right wing.40 What do we learn from Mortimer Zuckerman's lamentation?（A）Many middle-income families have failed to make a bargain for better welfare. （B）The American economic system has caused companies to go bankrupt.（C）The majority of Americans benefit little from the nation's growing wealth.（D）The American nation is becoming more and more divided despite its wealth.41 From the fifth paragraph we can learn that______.（A）the very rich are fashion-conscious（B）the very rich are politically sensitive（C）universal health care is to be implemented throughout America（D）Congress has gained popularity by increasing the minimum wage42 What is the real reason for plutocrats to express solidarity with the middle class? （A）They want to gain support for global economic integration.（B）They know that the middle class contributes most to society.（C）They want to protect themselves from confiscatory taxation.（D）They feel increasingly threatened by economic insecurity.42 Like most people, I've long understood that I will be judged by my occupation, that my profession is a gauge people use to see how smart or talented I am. Recently, however, I was disappointed to see that it also decides how I'm treated as a person.Last year I left a professional position as a small-town reporter and took a job waiting tables. As someone paid to serve food to people, I had customers say and do things to me I suspect they'd never say or do to their most casual acquaintances. One night a man talking on his cell phone waved me away, and then beckoned me back with his finger a minute later, complaining he was ready to order and asking where I'd been.I had waited tables during summers in college and was treated like a peon by plenty of people. But at 19 years old, I believed I deserved inferior treatment from professional adults. Besides, people responded to me differently after I told them I was in college. Customers would joke that one day I'd be sitting at their table, waiting to be served.Once I graduated I took a job at a community newspaper. From my first day, I heard a respectful tone from most everyone who called me. I assumed this was the way the professional world worked — cordially.I soon found out differently. I sat several feet away from an advertising sales representative with a similar name. Our calls would often get mixed up and someone asking for Kristen would be transferred to Christie. The mistake was immediately evident. Perhaps it was because money was involved, but people used a tone with Kristen that they never used with me.My job title made people treat me with courtesy. So it was a shock to return to the restaurant industry.It's no secret that there's a lot to put up with when waiting tables, and fortunately, much of it can be easily forgotten when you pocket the tips. The service industry, by definition, exists to cater to others' needs. Still, it seemed that many of my customers didn't get the difference between server and servant.I'm now applying to graduate school, which means someday I'll return to a profession where people need to be nice to me in order to get what they want. I think I'll take themto dinner first, and see how they treat someone whose only job is to serve them.43 What does the author intend to say by the example in the second paragraph?44 How did the author feel when waiting tables at the age of 19?45 What does the author imply by saying "...many of my customers didn't get the difference between server and servant"?46 Why does the author say she'll one day take her clients to dinner?三、Writing47 Directions: A report revealing the reduced role of the English test in China's college entrance examination has drawn much public attention. In some provinces, the English test score has been reduced from 150 to 100, and by 2020, the English test will be removed from China's college entrance exam, according to the Ministry of Education. The students will instead be allowed to take two exams a year and pick the best result for their college admission. What do you think of this test reform and what's the possible effect it may produce on our English teaching and learning?

Everywhere men and women crowd into cities in search of employment, a decent living, the company of their fellows, and the excitement and stimulation of urban life.[2] Within a very few years, 80 percent of all Americans will live in cities — the great majority of them in concentrations like those which stretch from Boston to Washington, and outward from Chicago and Los Angeles and San Francisco and St. Louis. The cities are the nerve system of economic life for the entire Nation, and for much of the world.[3] And each of our cities is now the seat of nearly all the problems of American life: poverty and race hatred, stunted education and saddened lives, and the other ills of the new urban Nation — congestion and filth, danger and purposelessness —which afflict all but the very rich and the very lucky.[4] ...The city is not just housing and stores. It is not just education and employment, parks and theaters, banks and shops. It is a place where men should be able to live in dignity and security and harmony, where the great achievements of moderncivilization and the ageless pleasures afforded by natural beauty should be available to all. If this is what we want — and this is what we must want if men are to be free for that "pursuit of happiness" which was the earliest promise of the American Nation —we will need more than poverty programs, housing programs, and employment programs, although we will need all of these. We will need an outpouring of imagination, ingenuity, discipline, and hard work unmatched since the first adventurers set out to conquer the wilderness. For the problem is the largest we have ever known. And we confront an urban wilderness more formidable and resistant and in some ways more frightening than the wilderness faced by the pilgrims or the pioneers.[5] One great problem is sheer growth —growth which crowds people into slums, thrusts suburbs out over the countryside, burdens to the breaking point all our old ways of thought and action — our systems of transport and water supply and education, and our means of raising money to finance these vital services.[6] A second is destruction of the physical environment, stripping people of contact with sun and fresh air, clean rivers, grass and trees — condemning them to a life among stone and concrete, neon lights and an endless flow of automobiles. This happens not only in the central city, but in the very suburbs where people once fled to find nature. "There is no police so effective," said Emerson, "as a good hill and a wide pasture... where the boys...can dispose of their superfluous strength and spirits." We cannot restore the pastures, but we must provide a chance to enjoy nature, a chance for recreation, for pleasure and for some restoration of that essential dimension of human existence which flows only from man's contact with the naturalworld around him.[7] A third is the increasing difficulty of transportation —adding concealed, unpaid hours to the workweek, removing men from the social and cultural amenities that are the heart of the city; sending destructive swarms of automobiles across the city, leaving behind them a band of concrete and a poisoned atmosphere. And sometimes — as in Watts — our surrender to the automobile has so crippled public transport that thousands literally cannot afford to go to work elsewhere in the city.[8] A fourth destructive force is the concentrated poverty and racial tension of the urban ghetto — a problem so vast that the barest recital of its symptoms is profoundly shocking: Segregation is becoming the governing rule; Washington is only the most prominent example of a city which has become overwhelmingly Negro as whites move to thesuburbs; many other cities are moving along the same road — for example, Chicago, which, if present trends continue, will be over 50 percent Negro by 1975. The ghettoes of Harlem and Southside and Watts are cities in themselves, areas of as much as 350, 000 people.Poverty and unemployment are endemic: from one-third of the families in these areas live in poverty, in some, male unemployment may be as high as 40 percent; unemployment of Negro youths nationally is over 25 percent.Welfare and dependency are pervasive: one-fourth of the children in these ghettoes, as in Harlem, may receive Federal Aid to Dependent Children; in New York City, ADC alone costs over $ 20 million a month; in our five largest cities, the ADC bill's over $ 500 million a year.Housing is overcrowded, unhealthy, and dilapidated: the lasthousing census found 43 percent of urban Negro housing to be substandard; in these ghettoes, over 10, 000 children may be injured or infected by rat bites every year.Education is segregated, unequal, and inadequate: the high school dropout rate averages nearly 70 percent, there are academic high schools in which less than 3 percent of the entering students will graduate with an academic diploma.Health is poor and care inadequate: infant mortality in the ghettoes is more than twice the rate outside, mental retardation among Negroes caused by inadequate prenatal care is more than seven times the white rate; one-half of all babies born in Manhattan last year will have had no prenatal care at all; deaths from diseases like tuberculosis, influenza, and pneumonia are two to three times as common as elsewhere.[9] Fifth is both cause and consequence of all the rest. It is the destruction of the sense, and often the fact, of community, of human dialog, the thousand invisible strands of common experience and purpose, affection and respect which tie men to their fellows. Community is expressed in such words as neighborhood, civic pride, friendship. It provides the life-sustaining force of human warmth and security, a sense of one's own human significance in the accepted association and companionship of others.[10]/doc/5d3837163369a45177232f60ddccda 38376be1f5.html munity demands a place where people can see and know each other, where children can play and adults work together and join in the pleasures and responsibilities of the place where they live. The whole history of the human race, until today, has been the history of community. Yet, this isdisappearing, and disappearing at a time when its sustaining strength is badly needed. For other values which once gave strength for the daily battle of life are also being eroded.[11] The widening gap between the experience of the generations in a rapidly changing world has weakened the ties of family; children grow up in a world of experience and culture their parents never knew.[12] The world beyond the neighborhood has become more impersonal and abstract. Industry and great cities, conflicts between nations and the conquests of science move relentlessly forward, seemingly beyond the reach of individual control or even understanding.[13] ...But of all our problems, the most immediate and pressing, the one which threatens to paralyze our very capacity to act, to obliterate our vision of the future, is the plight of the Negro of the center city. For this plight and the riots which are its product and symptom —threaten to divide Americans for generations to come; to add to theever-present difficulties of race and class the bitter legacy of violence and destruction and fear....[14] It is therefore of the utmost importance that these hearings go beyond the temporary measures thus far adopted to deal with riots — beyond the first hoses and the billy clubs; and beyond even sprinklers on fire hydrants and new swimming pools as well. These hearings must start us along the road toward solutions to the underlying conditions which afflict our cities, so that they may become the places of fulfillment and ease, comfort and joy, the communities they were meant to be.31 According to the passage, everywhere men and women crowd into cities in searchof______.（A）employment and race hatred（B）a decent living and stunted education（C）congestion and the company of their fellows（D）the excitement and other advantages of urban life32 It can be learned that within a few years, ______of all Americans will live in concentrations like those which stretch from Boston to Washington, and outward from Chicago and other cities.（A）less than 80 percent（B）about 80 percent（C）more than 80 percent（D）none of the above33 Besides poverty, housing and unemployment programs, Americans need______to attain the kind of society they want.（A）imagination（B）ingenuity（C）discipline and hard work（D）all of the above34 According to the author, the city should be______.（A）the seat of nearly all the problems of American life（B）just houses, stores, schools, businesses, parks, and theaters（C）place where people can live in dignity and security and harmony（D）the nerve system of political, economic, cultural life for much of the world35 The major city problems discussed in the passage include all of the following EXCEPT______.（A）racial tension and the destruction of the sense ofcommunity（B）sheer growth and destruction of the physical environment（C）the difficulty of transportation and concentrated poverty（D）unpaid working hours and a poisoned atmosphere36 The most prominent example of a city which has become overwhelmingly Negro is______.（A）New York（B）San Francisco（C）Chicago（D）Washington37 Which of the following statement is NOT true?（A）20 percent of the children in ghettos may receive Federal Aid to Dependent Children.（B）Male unemployment in some areas may be as high as 40 percent.（C）43 percent of urban Negro housing is substandard.（D）In ghettos, the high school dropout rate averages nearly 70 percent.38 The reason why the plight of the Negro is the most immediate and pressing problem is that it threatens______.（A）to paralyze the American economy（B）to divide Americans for generations to come（C）to destroy the vision of the future generations（D）to use violence in overthrowing the old belief and social system39 According to the author, the sense of community chiefly means______.（A）the ties of family（B）a thousand imaginable strands（C）things which tie men to their fellows（D）the values which once gave strength for the daily battle of life40 In this selection, the author makes______work for him to order the materials so that it is easy to follow.（A）description（B）classification（C）definition（D）narration40 [1] When I first saw Pippa the cheetah, she was sitting pertly on a chair in the tearoom of the New Stanley Hotel in Nairobi. I had gone to meet her owners, an English couple who were leaving Kenya and wanted to ensure that their pet would find a good home. Pippa was wearing a harness and was able to sit at a table, looking as if she might have a soft drink through a straw. She was a thoroughly spoiled cub.[2] Eighteen months later she had returned to the wild. She was living in the Northern Frontier District where she had been born. She had learned to hunt for herself, had mated with a wild cheetah, and was raising a litter of cubs.[3] Pippa's rehabilitation to the wild required patience, perseverance, love, and the same kind of respect for her as a being that I would have offered a fellow human. I had previously shared this love and respect with Elsa the lioness, whom my husband George and I had raised as a cub. But it was not simply a matter of affection — although there was plenty of that. The rehabilitation process was important as an experiment in developing a means of trying to guarantee the survival of endangered species. The cheetah is one of these; the lion maybecome one soon.[4] I learned many things from Elsa and Pippa. They proved always to be interesting and affectionate companions. And I enjoyed the closeness to nature that the rehabilitation process required. But there were raany times when I was working with Elsa and Pippa, and there have been many times since, when I have wondered about another endangered species, a species generally as ignorant of the threat to its survival as these two cats had been. That species is man.[5] Some recent scientific, economic, and political research suggests that the curves for food demand and food supply will cross in a maximum of 60 years. By then, man's overpopulation, increasing pollution, and the diminishing food supply could threaten to end human life on our planet. Being aware of this research, I could not help wondering what steps man could take to ensure his survival. Could he, for instance, learn from animals something about birth control, inter-creature relationships, or thought communication that would help him avoid extinction?[6] Generally, the first reaction to such musings is one of astonishment. The question phrases itself. What can man, the most highly evolved species of animal life, learn from less developed creatures? Astonishment at this question itself suggests a starting place. Perhaps man needs to regain his humility — and his sense of perspective. Perhaps he should look at himself as just another experiment of nature, no more important intrinsically than the thousands of other species evolved on our planet. Man is, after all, a fairly recent development. He has lived on earth only 1. 7 million years — not a very long time compared with the 400 million years of somecreatures.[7] Man's achievements during this stay are astounding. Yet they endanger his own survival. As a result, he may disappear as have other species who became too overspecialized, or outlived their environment. Perhaps more than any other creature man is notable for his constant violations of the eternal law of living in harmony with nature. Man kills everything that competes with him for living space or food. He has irreparably damaged his environment. He has forsaken nature's basic laws, substituting for them his own man-made laws and values. He has, for example, invented money —and now he gauges success, power, and achievement almost exclusively in terms of it. He overestimates his ego and his capacities. He worships status and sacrifices fantastically for it.[8] A more rational perspective would see that all organic life is of equal importance. That every species has its role to play. That nothing survives unless it fits into the balance of nature and lives within its environment. That all life must work together to preserve life and maintain ecology.[9] But man can also learn more specifically from animals. With his research capacity he can ask himself : How were animals able to maintain the balance of nature for more than 400 million years? Once he has unlocked these secrets, he can try to apply them to his own situation.[10] What are some of these secrets? Birth control is one. Animals have very efficient means of controlling their reproduction. We who study animals have learned about it only in the last few years. We don't yet know how it works, but we do know some facts. Most antelopes, for example, can withhold their young for weeks, even months. They do this in order that birthsoccur with the arrival of the rains, the availability of grazing, and the mothers' adequate supply of milk for the young.[11] Elephants seem able to adjust their reproduction in somewhat the same way. On the Victoria Nile, for instance, one bank is extremely eroded; it provides barely enough food for the elephants living there. The opposite bank, on the other hand, is quite well covered with vegetation. Observations indicate that elephants on the grassy bank calve every four years, while those on the eroded bank do so only every nine.[12] My own observations of Elsa and Pippa have revealed some most interesting facts. These cats come into season every five to seven weeks. Once the first litter has been born, they have the capacity to produce a new litter every three and a half months, and some zoo-confined lionesses actually do produce litters this of-ten. But in their natural state, females of these species will not let a male near them — let alone mate with him — while they are engaged in rearing their young to complete independence. Among lions this period lasts two years; among cheetahs it is about seventeen and a half months.[13] When Pippa lost two litters to predators a few days after their birth, she instantly looked for a mate and conceived despite the fact she had hardly recovered from giving birth. Knowing that her unfortunate cubs did not need her anymore, she lost no time in starting a new litter. This also happened with a lioness I knew.[14] Judging from this behavior, I can only assume that some kind of psychological block stops mother lions and cheetahs from wanting to mate while they are preoccupied with training their young.[15] Another secret of animals' survival is telepathy. This sense has become atrophied in man, but a definite thought-communication functions in animals. Elsa the lioness frequently sensed when George and I intended to visit her camp, even though it lay 180 miles from our home in Isiolo. On most occasions when we made our irregular visits she was waiting for us. By following her spoor we discovered that she had sometimes walked 50 or 60 miles to meet us.[16] The same thing happened when I took Elsa's two sisters to Nairobi to be flown to the Rotterdam zoo. Elsa stayed behind with George in Isiolo 180 miles away. He did not know when I was coming back; no person knew. But Elsa knew. On the morning of my return she sat down in the entrance drive and would not budge until I arrived in the evening.[17] I have known this kind of thought-communication with the animals with whomI've lived. When Elsa died, I woke in the night, knowing what had happened, even thoughI was several hundred miles away. The same thing occurred later with one of Pippa's cubs.[18] I don't possess this sensitivity with my own kind. I feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London or Nairobi. We don't know much yet about this telepathy —from which gland it comes, or how it works. But if men could reawaken or cultivate it in themselves, and then cooperate by trusting each other, rather than fearing and treating one another suspiciously, the world would be a far better place.[19] Another secret of the animals is embodied in a basic law of nature which men often ignore. Every animal has around him a security zone. Within that zone he feels safe. Simple observation shows what happens to creatures whose sense ofadequate living space has been consistently violated, and who have thus become degenerate. You only have to go to a zoo. There you find animals sitting like prisoners, tucked so close togetherthat it is not surprising they become frustrated and sometimes so tense that they try to break out. Then they have to be destroyed.[20] When people see animals in this condition, they get the impression that the animals are either dangerous and aggressive or, if they have fallen into a state of utter despair, that they are lethargic or stupid. But animals that I have known in their natural state are never like this. This illustrates why zoos — even the best zoos — cannot solve the problem of recovering a healthy survival number of presently endangered species.[21] The security-zone sense, the need for adequate living space, is not limited to wild animals. Men once possessed it as well. But now our awareness of it has grown so faint that four or five people can live together in one room, a situation which repeatedly occurs in overcrowded slums. People living in these conditions often become aggressive —sometimes even criminal — for the same reason that animals do in zoos.[22] Man-made values account not only for man's reduced awareness of his own security zone. They have also impaired a whole range of relationships which nature had placed in proper perspective. One of these, referred to earlier, is mating. Another is the relationship of mother to young. So many modern human mothers these days prefer to have jobs and put their children in day-care centers or kindergartens, rather than look after them. In nature this happens only in perverted cases. I have watched many animal mothers with their young. They are devoted to them andtend them with affection — and discipline. But they don't overdo it. Elsa and Pippa loved their cubs, but they also kept strict behavior. There was no nonsense about it.[23] Man's great challenge at this moment is to prevent his exodus from this planet. If he wants to survive — which he can do only if all other forms of life around him survive as well — he simply has to see himself as no more important than his fellow creatures. Since man has a higher intelligence than most animals, he is responsible for insuring their survival and thus maintaining life on our planet.[24] I personally doubt that man can recover his original relationship with all other forms of life unless he reappraises his man-made values, returns again to the rules of nature, and then accepts and obeys them.41 The main idea of this article is that______.（A）people can teach animals how to survive（B）people can learn survival techniques from animals（C）animals can survive in the wild after living in zoos（D）animals can learn from man how to live in tune with nature42 In the sentence "But it was not simply a matter of affection..."

2016年北京大学翻译硕士真题

2016年北京大学翻译硕士真题考完，浑浑噩噩的两天。

都是主观题，也感觉不到什么好与不好。

哎，先这样吧。

还是趁着记忆还鲜活，先从后往前说吧。

一直都处于感冒的边缘，身体不舒服，所以回忆晚了点。

请大家见谅。

首先，最后一门，百科写作。

百科词语解释：文选、文选妖孽和桐城谬种、《荷马》、、Matthew Arnold、CSR、温室气体排放、文学翻译、文化中心主义、一带一路、语言桥（翻译公司），也就只能记住这些了，这些词汇的出处都是刘宓庆的《中西翻译思想比较研究》和另外一本《未来企业之路》，真心把握不住会考哪个词语，所以，还是实打实地把这两本书过一遍为妙，至少也可以混个眼熟，不至于碰到一个词，什么也说不出来。

今年的词语解释，几乎不涉及翻译史和语言学名词，和去年的差别很大。

着实不好把握。

应用文：大概题干：北京二十五中的李平发现学校早上举行升旗仪式时，同学们不怎么大声唱国歌，经调查发现，很大一部分同学不会唱国歌是主要原因，李平就和部分同学商量写一篇文章，号召同学们大声唱国歌，大家一致推荐李平为主笔人，假如你是李平，请完成这篇文章。

注意文体和格式，450字左右。

题干中没有直接给出应用文的格式，但是，看到“号召”两个字，本人觉得写一篇倡议书为好，另外，经研究发现，北大2011年和2012年的应用文写作都是要求写倡议书。

所以觉得八九不离十就是倡议书了。

大作文：大概题干：2015年11月，北京普降大雪，对此，有人欢喜有人忧，请以此为话题，自立题目，文体不限，字数800字以内。

这个话题着实不好下手，难道要写成对立统一规律的辩证法？很难找到有高度有水平的利益。

请自行思考，在此就不多加讨论了。

翻译基础首先词汇翻译，考了两个去年考过的：桂冠诗人、室内设计，还有就是孕妇装、付费电视、露天市场、读者文摘英译汉：Vatican City，Union Jack，string quartet,X-rate,spaghetti,英译汉：是关于modenity，self,self-realization,self-exploration,aesthetics,中间举例子有马克思、尼采、韦伯等人的思想，最后回归到了double consciousness（这是翻译硕士英语中排序题的主题词应该是选自同一篇文章），最后讲到modernity不再局限于西方，而是扩展到所有追求现代的人，是给所有人的poisoned gift。

2016年扬州大学翻译硕士英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)

2016年扬州大学翻译硕士英语真题试卷(题后含答案及解析)题型有：1. V ocabulary 2. Reading Comprehension 3. WritingV ocabulary1．Our dreams will sometimes be______and our ethereal hopes blasted.A．smashedB．shatteredC．crushedD．squashed正确答案：B解析：本题考查动词的词义辨析。

根据空后的and our ethereal hopes blasted(并且我们飘渺的希望破灭)可判断，本空所填动词应与blasted并列，且意思相近，故shatter(使(希望、信念，信心)破灭，粉碎)为答案。

smash意为“(有意识地)打碎，打烂”，指破裂为许多支离破碎的碎片，多用指易碎事物。

crush意为“压碎，碾碎，弄皱”，指用力把东西压破或变形。

squash意为“压碎，挤压，紧压”，指某物受力被压扁或压碎，也指塞挤。

2．The attack is being seen as a deliberate attempt to______the peace talks.A．razeB．sabotageC．demolishD．disintegrate正确答案：B解析：本题考查动词的词义辨析。

根据语义推断，“攻击”应该是被看作“破坏和平对话”，故只有sabotage(阴谋破坏，蓄意破坏)符合语义，为答案。

raze意为“把(建筑或城镇)夷为平地，彻底摧毁”。

demolish意为“驳倒，推翻(某人的观点或论点)；摧毁，拆毁，拆除(建筑物等)”。

disintegrate意为“崩溃，瓦解”。

3．—When were your legs injured?—It was on a Sunday last month______my father and I spent our holiday at the seaside.A．thatB．asC．whileD．when正确答案：D解析：本题考查定语从句。

个人觉得湖南大学的题量与其他学校的相比，还是相当大的，时间都不够用。

阅读理解的难度不高，篇幅也都不长，做起来不怎么费劲，但不能花费太多时间。

选词组填空，有10个空，但是有12个选项。

完形填空是关于作家伍尔芙的。

summary讲的是马来西亚的旅游业，大意是马来西亚有很多旅游景点和值得展示给世界的东西，但是要有宣传的手段。

可以在外国做一些展览，也可以通过互联网、报纸等媒体做广告宣传。

另外还要提高公共设施和服务。

作文是湖大一贯的作风，题目给出的是汉语诗句或古文。

有一点很无语的是，也许是因为岳麓书院和湖南与朱熹的渊源颇深，所以湖大常常用他的话来做题目。

“未知未能而求知求能,之谓学;已知已能而行之不已,之谓习。

”出自《朱子语类》，是朱熹论读书的观点。

二、英语翻译基础
今年的英汉短语互译，出自政府工作报告的很少，具体都是什么，记不大清楚了。

汉译英有：新常态、常任理事国、港人治港
英译汉最后两个是缩略词AIIB和MERS
英汉汉英文章翻译今年的篇幅加长了不少。

英译汉是关于virture的，关键词是cardinal和theological。

建议：一定要好好记单词！一定要记单词！一定要记单词！
汉译英是关于上海的文章。

上海是历史文化名城，是中国的经济、金融中心；自唐宋以来上海在中国的地位变迁；从古代开始，上海就是重要港口城市，取代了广州的地位；上海是美食家的天堂，全国各个菜系都有；上海有很多国家级和省级旅游景点；上海有很多现代化建筑，东方明珠、杨浦大桥、金茂大厦、人民广场。
