Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Directions: ?
Each of the passages below is followed by some questions. For each question there are four answers marked ［A］，［B］，［C］ and ［D］。 Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Then mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET by blackening the corresponding letter in the brackets. （40 points） ?
Passage 1 ?
It was 3:45 in the morning when the vote was finally taken. After six months of arguing and final 16 hours of hot parliamentary debates, Australia's Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to allow doctors to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. The measure passed by the convincing vote of 15 to 10. Almost immediately word flashed on the Internet and was picked up, half a world away, by John Hofsess, executive director of the Right to Die Society of Canada. He sent it on via the group's on?line service, Death NET. Says Hofsess: “We posted bulletins all day long, because of course this isn't just something that happened in Australia. It's world history.” ?
The full import may take a while to sink in. The NT Rights of the Terminally Ⅲ law has left physicians and citizens alike trying to deal with its moral and practical implications. Some have breathed sighs of relief, others, including churches, right?to?life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the bill and the haste of its passage. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia ?where an aging population, life?extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part ?other states are going to consider making a similar law to deal with euthanasia. In the US and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling. ?
Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death ?probably by a deadly injection or pill ?to put an end to suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as terminally ill by two doctors. After a “cooling off” period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd Nickson, a 54?year?old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ⅲ law means he can get on with living without the haunting fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. “I'm not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks,” he says.
51.From the second paragraph we learn that . ?
［A］the objection to euthanasia is slow to come in other countries ?
［B］physicians and citizens share the same view on euthanasia ?
［C］changing technology is chiefly responsible for the hasty passage of the law
［D］it takes time to realize the significance of the law's passage ?
52.When the author says that observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling, he means . ?
［A］observers are taking a wait?and?see attitude towards the future of euthanasia ［B］similar bills are likely to be passed in the US, Canada and other countries
［C］observers are waiting to see the result of the game of dominoes
［D］the effect?taking process of the passed bill may finally come to a stop
53.When Lloyd Nickson dies, he will . ?
［A］face his death with calm characteristic of euthanasia ?
［B］experience the suffering of a lung cancer patient ?
［C］have an intense fear of terrible suffering ?
［D］undergo a cooling off period of seven days ?
54.The author's attitude towards euthanasia seems to be that of .
［A］opposition［B］suspicion［C］approval［D］indifference
Passage 2 ?
A report consistently brought back by visitors to the US is how friendly, courteous, and helpful most Americans were to them. To be fair, this observation is also frequently made of Canada and Canadians, and should best be considered North American. There are, of course, exceptions. Small?minded officials, rude waiters, and ill mannered taxi drivers are hardly unknown in the US Yet it is an observation made so frequently that it deserves comment. ?
For a long period of time and in many parts of the country, a traveler was a welcome break in an otherwise dull existence. Dullness and loneliness were common problems of the families who generally lived distant from one another. Strangers and travelers were welcome sources of diversion, and brought news of the outside world. ?
The harsh realities of the frontier also shaped this tradition of hospitality. Someone traveling alone, if hungry, injured, or ill, often had nowhere to turn except to the nearest cabin or settlement. It was not a matter of choice for the traveler or merely a charitable impulse on the part of the settlers. It reflected the harshness of daily life: if you didn't take in the stranger and take care of him, there was no one else who would. And someday, remember, you might be in the same situation. Today there are many charitable organizations which specialize in helping the weary traveler. Yet, the old tradition of hospitality to strangers is still very strong in the US, especially in the smaller cities and towns away from the busy tourist trails. “I was just traveling through, got talking with this American, and pretty soon he invited me home for dinner ?amazing.” Such observations reported by visitors to the US are not uncommon, but are not always understood properly. The casual friendliness of many Americans should be interpreted neither as superficial nor as artificial, but as the result of a historically developed cultural tradition. ?As is true of any developed society, in America a complex set of cultural signals, assumptions, and conventions underlies all social interrelationships. And, of course, speaking a language does not necessarily meant that someone understands social and cultural patterns. Visitors who fail to “translate” cultural meanings properly often draw wrong conclusions. For example, when an American uses the word “friend”， the cultural implications of the word may be quite different from those it has in the visitor's language and culture. It takes more than a brief encounter on a bus to distinguish between courteous convention and individual interest. Yet, being friendly is a virtue that many American value highly and expect from both neighbors and strangers.
55.In the eyes of visitors from the outside world, . ?
［A］rude taxi drivers are rarely seen in the US ?
［B］small?minded officials deserve a serious comment ?
［C］Canadians are not so friendly as their neighbors ?

56.It could be inferred from the last paragraph that . ?
［A］culture exercises an influence over social interrelationship ?
［B］courteous convention and individual interest are interrelated ?
［C］various virtues manifest themselves exclusively among friends ?
［D］social interrelationships equal the complex set of cultural conventions
57.Families in frontier settlements used to entertain strangers .［A］to improve their hard life?
［B］in view of their long?distance travel ?
［C］to add some flavor to their own daily life?
［D］out of a charitable impulse ?
58.The tradition of hospitality to strangers . ?
［A］tends to be superficial and artificial ?
［B］is generally well kept up in the United States ?
［C］is always understood properly ?
［D］was something to do with the busy tourist trails ?
Passage 3 ?
Technically, any substance other than food that alters our bodily or mental functioning is a drug. Many people mistakenly believe the term drug refers only to some sort of medicine or an illegal chemical taken by drug addicts. They don't realize that familiar substances such as alcohol and tobacco are also drugs. This is why the more neutral term substance is now used by many physicians and psychologists. The phrase “substance abuse” is often used instead of “drug abuse” to make clear that substances such as alcohol and tobacco can be just as harmfully misused as heroin and cocaine.
We live a society in which the medicinal and social use of substances （drugs） is pervasive: an aspirin to quiet a headache, some wine to be sociable, coffee to get going in the morning, a cigarette for the nerves. When do these socially acceptable and apparently constructive uses of a substance become misuses? First of all, most substances taken in excess will produce negative effects such as poisoning or intense perceptual distortions. Repeated use of a substance can also lead to physical addiction or substance dependence. Dependence is marked first by an increased tolerance, with more and more of the substance required to produce the desired effect, and then by the appearance of unpleasant withdrawal symptoms when the substance is discontinued. ?
Drugs （substances） that affect the central nervous system and alter perception, mood, and behavior are known as psychoactive substances. Psychoactive substances are commonly grouped according to whether they are stimulants, depressants, or hallucinogens. Stimulants initially speed up or activate the central nervous system, whereas depressants slow it down. Hallucinogens have their primary effect on perception, distorting and altering it in a variety of ways including producing hallucinations. These are the substances often called psychedelic （from the Greek word meaning “mind?manifesting”） because they seemed to radically alter one's state of consciousness.
59.“Substance abuse” （Line 5, Paragraph 1） is preferable to “drug abuse” in that .
［A］substances can alter our bodily or mental functioning if illegally used
［B］“drug abuse” is only related to a limited number of drug takers ?
［C］alcohol and tobacco are as fatal as heroin and cocaine
［D］many substances other than heroin or cocaine can also be poisonous
60.The word “pervasive” （Line 1, Paragraph 2） might mean . ?
［A］widespread［B］overwhelming［C］piercing［D］fashionable
61.Physical dependence on certain substances results from . ?
［A］uncontrolled consumption of them over long periods of time ?
［B］exclusive use of them for social purposes ?
［C］quantitative application of them to the treatment of diseases ?
［D］careless employment of them for unpleasant symptoms ?
62.From the last paragraph we can infer that . ?
［A］stimulants function positively on the mind ?
［B］hallucinogens are in themselves harmful to health ?
［C］depressants are the worst type of psychoactive substances ?
［D］the three types of psychoactive substances are commonly used in groups
Passage 4 ?
No company likes to be told it is contributing to the moral decline of a nation. “Is this what you intended to accomplish with your careers?” Senator Robert Dole asked Time Warner executives last week. “You have sold your souls, but must you corrupt our nation and threaten our children as well?” At Time Warner, however, such questions are simply the latest manifestation of the soul?searching that has involved the company ever since the company was born in 1990. It's a self examination that has, at various times, involved issues of responsibility, creative freedom and the corporate bottom line. ?
At the core of this debate is chairman Gerald Levin, 56, who took over for the late Steve Ross in 1992. On the financial front, Levin is under pressure to raise the stock price and reduce the company's mountainous debt, which will increase to 17.3 billion after two new cable deals close. He has promised to sell off some of the property and restructure the company, but investors are waiting impatiently.
The flap over rap is not making life any easier for him. Levin has consistently defended the company's rap music on the grounds of expression. In 1992, when Time Warner was under fire for releasing Ice?T's violent rap song Cop Killer, Levin described rap as a lawful expression of street culture, which deserves an outlet. “The test of any democratic society,” he wrote in a Wall Streel Journal column, “lies not in how well it can control expression but in whether it gives freedom of thought and expression the widest possible latitude, however disputable or irritating the results may sometimes be. We won't retreat in the face of any threats.” ?
Levin would not comment on the debate last week, but there were signs that the chairman was backing off his hard?line stand, at least to some extent. During the discussion of rock singing verses at last month's stockholders' meeting, Levin asserted that “music is not the cause of society's ills” and even cited his son, a teacher in the Bronx, New York, who uses rap to communicate with students. But he talked as well about the “balanced struggle” between creative freedom and social responsibility, and he announced that the company would launch a drive to develop standards for distribution and labeling of potentially objectionable music.
The 15?member Time Warner board is generally supportive of Levin and his corporate strategy. But insiders say several of them have shown their concerns in this matter. “Some of us have known for many, many years that the freedoms under the First Amendment are not totally unlimited,” says Luce. “I think it is perhaps the case that some people associated with the company have only recently come to realize this.”
63.Senator Robert Dole criticized Time Warner for .
［A］its raising of the corporate stock price ?
［B］its self?examination of soul ?
［C］its neglect of social responsibility ?
［D］its emphasis on creative freedom ?
64.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
?［A］Luce is a spokesman of Time Warner.
?［B］Gerald Levin is liable to compromise.
?［C］Time Warner is united as one in the face of the debate.
?［D］Stever Ross is no longer alive ?
65.In face of the recent attacks on the company, the chairman .
［A］stuck to a strong stand to defend freedom of expression ?
［B］softened his tone and adopted some new policy ?
［C］changed his attitude and yielded to objection ?
［D］received more support from the 15?member board ?
66.The best title for this passage could be . ?
［A］A Company under Fire［B］A Debate on Moral Decline ?
［C］A Lawful Outlet of Street Culture［D］A Form of Creative Freedom
Passage 5 ?
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 it 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 the analogy that likens the conduct of monetary policy to driving a car with a blackened windscreen, a cracked rear?view 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 predicated. In late 1994 the panel of economists which The Economist polls each month said that America's inflation rate would average 3.5% in 1995. In fact, it fell to 2.6% in August, and 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 favorable 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 utilization, for example, his historically high levels earlier this year, and its jobless rate （5.6% in August） has fallen bellow most estimates of the natural rate of unemployment ?the rate below which inflation has taken off in 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 up?ended the old economic models that were based upon the historical link between growth and inflation.
67.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 situation ?
68.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 ?
69.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 present ?
70.The passage shows that the author is the present situation. ?
［A］critical of［B］puzzled by［C］disappointed at［D］amazed at?
Part Ⅳ English?Chinese Translation ?
Directions: ?
Read the following passage carefully and then translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Your translation must be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET. （15 points）。 ? ?
Do animals have rights? This is how the question is usually put. It sounds like a useful, ground?clearing way to start. 71）Actually, it isn't, because it assumes that there is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does not have. ?
On one view of rights, to be sure, it necessarily follows that animals have none. 72）Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements. Therefore, animals cannot have rights. The idea of punishing a tiger that kills somebody is absurd, for exactly the same reason, so is the idea that tigers have rights. However, this is only one account, and by no means an uncontested one. It denies rights not only to animals but also to some people ?for instance to infants, the mentally incapable and future generations. In addition, it is unclear what force a contract can have for people who never consented to it, how do you reply to somebody who says “I don't like this contract”？
The point is this: without agreement on the rights of people, arguing about the rights of animals is fruitless. 73）It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consideration humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all.
This is a false choice. Better to start with another, more fundamental, question: is the way we treat animals a moral issue at all? ?
Many deny it. 74）Arguing from the view that humans are different from animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that animals lie outside the area of moral choice. Any regard for the suffering of animals is seen as a mistake ?a sentimental displacement of feeling that should properly be directed to other humans. ?
This view which holds that torturing a monkey is morally equivalent to chopping wood, may seem bravely “logical”。 In fact it is simply shallow: the confused center is right to reject it. The most elementary form of moral reasoning ?the ethical equivalent of learning to crawl ?is to weigh others' interests against one'sown. This in turn requires sympathy and imagination: without there is no capacity for moral thought. To see an animal in pain is enough, for most, to engage sympathy. 75）When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind's instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.

从第一天开始复习到考试的前一天，考试大纲词汇就应不离手，因为这是一切的基础。考试大纲是命题专家出题的依据、基础，所以考生一定要重视。背单词时，可以总结同义词、一词多义以及包含“高级”短语的句子，然后跟同桌的研友们对话，或者“厚颜无耻”地主动向他们“炫耀”，同时也坚持参加英语辩论活动，把自己最新积累的词句一一“亮”出，这样考生会感觉记得特别牢固。
二，日积月累。
作为一门语言，充满了繁琐与细节的，想一口吃成大胖子是不太现实的，必须耐心地积累“量变”以求“质变”。学习英语的时间安排也是有规律可循的，如果你一天安排3个小时学英语，那么与其一鼓作气学3个小时倒不如改成上下午各1.5小时。持续学习、及时复习才能收到较为理想的效果。可以参照着名的“艾宾浩斯遗忘曲线”来合理安排时间，最大限度地降低遗忘率，以获得较好的学习效果。
三，研读真题。
历年考研英语全真试题是了解考研水平的最快途径，也是熟悉命题规律的唯一途径。所以要在老师的指导下分阶段复习考研英语真题。找一个安静的环境，先用一周的时间做一套真题，做完后，对自己的错题先看一下怎么错的，错在哪里，能不能解决。剩下的时间要分析题型，也就是看这些题目是属于细节题、推理题，还是主旨大意题……当复习完十年的真题，建议考生放20天左右的时间，重新再做真题，分析自己的做题思路，考前一个月适当做些高质量的模拟题练练手。另外，希望考生真题至少看三遍。第一遍先做，做完之后归纳总结错题的原因。第二遍主要精读文章解决单词句子翻译。第三遍前两遍的内容都要看。
四，增加课外阅读。
课外阅读在考研英语复习中占有重要地位，对提高成绩有很大作用，建议大家订一份《英语世界》杂志，阅读上面的文章，也会有不少收获。如果有条件，看看自己学校图书馆是否有这本书，有的话坚持看，肯定会有收获的！
希望以上的介绍对2013的考研同学有所帮助，另外，大家在学习英语学习方法时，要从自身实际出发，选择真正适合自己的复习方法。 |
