People are, on the whole, poor at considering background information when making individual decisions. At first glance this might seem like a strength that 1 the ability to make judgments which are unbiased by 2 factors. But Dr. Uri Simonsohn speculated that an inability to consider the big 3 was leading decision-makers to be biased by the daily samples of information they were working with. 4 , he theorised that a judge 5 of appearing too soft 6 crime might be more likely to send someone to prison 7 he had already sentenced five or six other defendants only to forced community service on that day.

To8 this idea, he turned to the university-admissions process. In theory, the 9 of an applicant should not depend on the few others10 randomly for interview during the same day, but Dr. Simonsoho suspected the truth was 11 .

He studied the results of 9,323 MBA interviews 12 by 31 admissions officers. The interviewers had 13 applicants on a scale of one to five. This scale 14 numerous factors into consideration. The scores were 15 used in conjunction with an applicant’s score on the Graduate Management Admission Test, or GMAT, a standardized exam which is 16 out of 800 points, to make a decision on whether to accept him or her.

Dr. Simonsohn found if the score of the previous candidate in a daily series of interviewees was 0.75 points or more higher than that of the one 17 that, then the score for the next applicant would18 by an average of 0.075 points. This might sound small, but to 19the effects of such a decrease a candidate would need 30 more GMAT points than would otherwise have been 20 .

Text 1

In the 2006 film version of The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, scolds her unattractive assistant for imagining that high fashion doesn’t affect her. Priestly explains how the deep blue color of the assistant’s sweater descended over the years from fashion shows to department stores and to the bargain bin in which the poor girl doubtless found her garment.

This top-down conception of the fashion business couldn’t be more out of date or at odds with the feverish world described in Overdressed, Elizabeth Cline’s three-year indictment of “fast fashion”. In the last decade or so, advances in technology have allowed mass-market labels such as Zara, H&M, and Uniqlo to react to trends more quickly and anticipate demand more precisely. Quicker turnarounds mean less wasted inventory, more frequent releases, and more profit. These labels encourage style-conscious consumers to see clothes as disposable—meant to last only a wash or two, although they don’t advertise that—and to renew their wardrobe every few weeks. By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have hijacked fashion cycles, shaking an industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace.

The victims of this revolution, of course, are not limited to designers. For H&M to offer a $5.95 knit miniskirt in all its 2,300-plus stores around the world, it must rely on low-wage overseas labor, order in volumes that strain natural resources, and use massive amounts of harmful chemicals.

Overdressed is the fashion world’s answer to consumer-activist bestsellers like Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma. “Mass-produced clothing, like fast food, fills a hunger and need, yet is non-durable and wasteful,” Cline argues. Americans, she finds, buy roughly 20 billion garments a year—about 64 items per person—and no matter how much they give away, this excess leads to waste.

Towards the end of Overdressed, Cline introduced her ideal, a Brooklyn woman named Sarah Kate Beaumont, who since 2008 has made all of her own clothes—and beautifully. But as Cline is the first to note, it took Beaumont decades to perfect her craft; her example can’t be knocked off.

Though several fast-fashion companies have made efforts to curb their impact on labor and the environment—including H&M, with its green Conscious Collection line—Cline believes lasting change can only be effected by the customer. She exhibits the idealism common to many advocates of sustainability, be it in food or in energy. Vanity is a constant; people will only start shopping more sustainably when they can’t afford not to.

21. Priestly criticizes her assistant for her _______.

[A] lack of imagination                [B] poor bargaining skill

[C] obsession with high fashion          [D] insensitivity to fashion

22. According to Cline, mass-market labels urge consumers to _______.

[A] combat unnecessary waste         [B] shop for their garments more frequently

[C] resist the influence of advertisements           [D] shut out the feverish fashion world

23. The word “indictment” (Line 3, Para.2) is closest in meaning to _______.

[A] accusation     [B] enthusiasm     [C] indifference     [D] tolerance

24. Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?

[A] Vanity has more often been found in idealists.        [B] The fast-fashion industry ignores sustainability.

[C] Pricing is vital to environment-friendly purchasing.     [D] People are more interested in unaffordable garments.

25. What is the subject of the text?

[A] Satire on an extravagant lifestyle.        [B] Challenge to a high-fashion myth.

[C] Criticism of the fast-fashion industry.       [D] Exposure of a mass-market secret

Text 2

An old saying has it that half of all advertising budgets are wasted—the trouble is, no one knows which half. In the internet age, at least in theory, this fraction can be much reduced. By watching what people search for, click on and say online, companies can aim “behavioral” ads at those most likely to buy.

In the past couple of weeks a quarrel has illustrated the value to advertisers of such fine-grained information: Should advertisers assume that people are happy to be tracked and sent behavioral ads? Or should they have explicit permission?

In December 2010 America’s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) proposed adding a “do not track” (DNT) option to internet browsers, so that users could tell advertisers that they did not want to be followed. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Apple’s Safari both offer DNT; Google’s Chrome is due to do so this year. In February the FTC and Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA) agreed that the industry would get cracking on responding to DNT requests.

On May 31st Microsoft set off the row: It said that InternetExplorer 10, the version due to appear Windows 8, would have DNT as a default.

Advertisers are horrified. Human nature being what it is, most people stick with default settings. Few switch DNT on now, but if tracking is off it will stay off. Bob Liodice, the chief executive of the Association of National Advertisers, says consumers will be worse off if the industry cannot collect information about their preferences. People will not get fewer ads, he says, “they’ll get less meaningful, less targeted ads.”

It is not yet clear how advertisers will respond. Getting a DNT signal does not oblige anyone to stop tracking, although some companies have promised to do so. Unable to tell whether someone really objects to behavioral ads or whether they are sticking with Microsoft’s default, some may ignore a DNT signal and press on anyway.

Also unclear is why Microsoft has gone it alone. After all, it has an ad business too, which it says will comply with DNT requests, though it is still working out how. If it is trying to upset Google, which relies almost wholly on advertising, it has chosen an indirect method: There is no guarantee that DNT by default will become the norm.DNT does not seem an obviously huge selling point for Windows 8—though the firm has compared some of its other products favorably with Google’s on that count before. Brendon Lynch, Microsoft’s chief privacy officer, blogged: “we believe consumers should have more control.” Could it really be that simple?

26. It is suggested in paragraph 1 that “behavioral” ads help advertisers to _______.

[A] lower their operational costs                                      [B] ease competition among themselves

[C] avoid complaints from consumers                               [D] provide better online services

27. “The industry” (Line 5, Para.3) refers to_______.

[A] online advertisers                                                     [B] e-commerce conductors

[C] digital information analysis                                        [D] internet browser developers

28. Bob Liodice holds that setting DNT as a default _______.

[A] goes against human nature                                         [B] fails to affect the ad industry

[C] will not benefit consumers                                         [D] many cut the number of junk ads

29. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 6?

[A] Advertisers are obliged to offer behavioral ads            [B] DNT may not serve its intended purpose

[C] DNT is losing its popularity among consumers             [D] Advertisers are willing to implement DNT

30. The author’s attitude towards what Brendon Lynch said in his blog is one of_______.

[A] appreciation      [B] understanding      [C] indulgence       [D] skepticism

Text 3

Up until a few decades ago, our visions of the future were largely—though by no means uniformly—glowingly positive. Science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all.

Now utopia has grown unfashionable, as we have gained a deeper appreciation of the range of threats facing us, from asteroid strike to epidemic flu to climate change. You might even be tempted to assume that humanity has little future to look forward to.

But such gloominess is misplaced. The fossil record shows that many species have endured for millions of years—so why shouldn’t we? Take a broader look at our species’ place in the universe, and it becomes clear that we have an excellent chance of surviving for tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of years. Look up Homo sapiens in the “Red List” of threatened species of the international Union for the Concentration of Nature (IUCN), and you will read: “Listed as Least Concern as the species is very widely distributed, adaptable, currently increasing, and there are no major threats resulting in an overall population decline.”

So what does our deep future hold? A growing number of researchers and organizations are now thinking seriously about that question. For example, the Long Now Foundation has as its flagship project a mechanical clock that is designed to still be marking time thousands of years hence.

Perhaps willfully, it may be easier to think about such lengthy timescales than about the more immediate future. The potential evolution of today’s technology, and its social consequences, is dazzlingly complicated, and it’s perhaps best left to science-fiction writers and futurologists to explore the many possibilities we can envisage. That’s one reason why we have launched Arc, a new publication dedicated to the near future.

But take a longer view and there is a surprising amount that we can say with considerable assurance. As so often, the past holds the key to the future: we have now identified enough of the long-term patterns shaping the history of the planet, and our species, to make evidence-based forecasts about the situations in which our descendants will find themselves.

This long perspective makes the pessimistic view of our prospects seem more likely to be a passing fad. To be sure, the future is not all rosy. But we are now knowledgeable enough to reduce many of the risks that threatened the existence of earlier humans, and to improve the lot of those to come.

31. Our vision of the future used to be inspired by _______.

[A] our desire for lives of fulfillment.                              [B] our faith in science and technology.

[C] our awareness of potential risks.                                 [D] our belief in equal opportunity.

32. The IUCN’s “Red List” suggests that human beings are _______.

[A] a misplaced race.                                                      [B] a sustained species.

[C] the world’s dominant power.                                     [D] a threat to the environment.

33. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 5?

[A] The interest in science fiction is on the rise.                 [B] Arc helps limit the scope of futurological studies.

[C] Technology offers solutions to social problems.           [D] Our immediate future is hard to conceive.

34. To ensure the future of mankind, it is crucial to _______.

[A] draw on our experience from the past.    [B] adopt an optimistic view of the world.

[C] explore our planet’s abundant resources.     [D] curb our ambition to reshape history.

35. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

[A] Uncertainty about Our Future      [B] Evolution of the Human Species

[C] The Ever-bright Prospects of Mankind.      [D] Science, Technology and Humanity.

Text 4

On a five to three vote, the Supreme Court knocked out much of Arizona’s immigration law Monday—a modest policy victory for the Obama Administration. But on the more important matter of the Constitution, the decision was an 8-0 defeat for the Administration’s effort to upset the balance of power between the federal government and the states.

In Arizona v. United States, the majority overturned three of the four contested provisions of Arizona’s controversial plan to have state and local police enforce federal immigration law. The Constitutional principles that Washington alone has the power to “establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization” and that federal laws precede state laws are noncontroversial. Arizona had attempted to fashion state policies that ran parallel to the existing federal ones.

Justice Anthony Kennedy, joined by Chief Justice John Roberts and the Court’s liberals, ruled that the state flew too close to the federal sun. On the overturned provisions the majority held that Congress had deliberately “occupied the field”and Arizona has thus intruded on the federal’s privileged powers.

However, the Justices said that Arizona police would be allowed to verify the legal status of people who come in contact with law enforcement. That’s because Congress has always envisioned joint federal-state immigration enforcement and explicitly encourages state officers to share information and cooperate with federal colleagues.

Two of the three objecting Justices—Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas—agreed with this Constitutional logic but disagreed about which Arizona rules conflicted with the federal statute. The only major objection came from Justice Antonin Scalia, who offered an even more robust defense of state privileges going back to the Alien and Sedition Acts.

The 8-0 objection to President Obama turns on what Justice Samuel Alito describes in his objection as “a shocking assertion of federal executive power”. The White House argued that Arizona’s laws conflicted with its enforcement priorities, even if state laws complied with federal statutes to the letter. In effect, the White House claimed that it could invalidate any otherwise legitimate state law that it disagrees with.

Some powers do belong exclusively to the federal government, and control of citizenship and the borders is among them. But if Congress wanted to prevent states from using their own resources to check immigration status, it could. It never did so. The Administration was in essence asserting that because it didn’t want to carry out Congress’s immigration wishes, no state should be allowed to do so either. Every Justice rightly rejected this remarkable claim.

36. Three provisions of Arizona’s plan were overturnedbecause they _______.

[A] overstepped the authority of federal immigration law   [B] disturbed the power balance between different states

[C] deprived the federal police of Constitutional powers     [D] contradicted both the federal and state policies

37. On which of the following did the Justices agree, according to Paragraph 4?

[A] States’ independence from federal immigration law.   

[B] Federal officers’ duty to withhold immigrants’ information.

[C] States’ legitimate role in immigration enforcement.

[D] Congress’s intervention in immigration enforcement.

38. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that the Alien and Sedition Acts _______.

[A] violated the Constitution         [B] stood in favor of the states

[C] supported the federal statute         [D] undermined the states’ interests

39. The White House claims that its power of enforcement _______.

[A] outweighs that held by the states      [B] is established by federal statutes

[C] is dependent on the states’ support      [D] rarely goes against state laws

40. What can be learned from the last paragraph?

[A] Immigration issues are usually decided by Congress.

[B] The Administration is dominant over immigration issues.

[C] Justices wanted to strengthen its coordination with Congress.

[D] Justices intended to check the power of the Administration.

The social sciences are flourishing. As of 2005, there were almost half a million professional social scientists from all fields in the world, working both inside and outside academia. According to the World Social Science Report 2010, the number of social-science students worldwide has swollen by about 11% every year since 2000.

Yet this enormous resource is not contributing enough to today’s global challenges, including climate change, security, sustainable development and health. (41) ____________________. Humanity has the necessary agro-technological tools to eradicate hunger, from genetically engineered crops to artificial fertilizers. Here, too, the problems are social: the organization and distribution of food, wealth and prosperity.

(42) ____________________. This is a shame—the community should be grasping the opportunity to raise its influence in the real world. To paraphrase the great social scientist Joseph Schumpeter: there is no radical innovation without creative destruction.

Today, the social sciences are largely focused on disciplinary problems and internal scholarly debates, rather than on topics with external impact. Analyses reveal that the number of papers including the keywords “environmental change” or “climate change” have increased rapidly since 2004. (43) ____________________.

When social scientists do tackle practical issues, their scope is often local: Belgium is interested mainly in the effects of poverty on Belgium,for example. And whether the community’s work contributes much to an overall accumulation of knowledge is doubtful.

The problem is not necessarily the amount of available funding. (44) ____________________. This is an adequate amount so long as it is aimed in the right direction. Social scientists who complain about a lack of funding should not expect more in today’s economic climate.

The trick is to direct these funds better. The European Union Framework funding programs have long had a category specifically targeted at social scientists. This year, it was proposed that the system be changed: Horizon 2020, a new program to be enacted in 2014, would not have such a category. This has resulted in protests from social scientists. But the intention is not to neglect social science; rather, the complete opposite. (45) ____________________. That should create more collaborative endeavors and help to develop projects aimed directly at solving global problems.

[A] It could be that we are evolving two communities of social scientists: one that is discipline-oriented and publishing in highly specialized journals, and one that is problem-oriented and publishing elsewhere, such as policy briefs.

[B] However, the numbers are still small: in 2010, about 1,600 of the 100,000 social-sciences papers published globally included one of these keywords.

[C] Despite these factors, many social scientists seem reluctant to tackle such problems. And in Europe, some are up in arms over a proposal to drop a specific funding category for social-science research and to integrate it within cross-cutting topics of sustainable development.

[D] During the late 1990s , national spending on social sciences and the humanities as a percentage of all research and development funds—including government, higher education, non-profit and corporate—varied from around 4% to 25%; in most European nations, it is about 15%.

[E] The idea is to force social scientists to integrate their work with other categories, including health and demographic change; food security; marine research and the bio-economy, clean, efficient energy; and inclusive, innovative and secure societies.

[F] The solution is to change the mindset of the academic community, and what it considers to be its main goal. Global challenges and social innovation ought to receive much more attention from scientists, especially the young ones.

[G] These issues all have root causes in human behavior: all require behavioral change and social innovations, as well as technological development. Stemming climate change, for example, is as much about changing consumption patterns and promoting tax acceptance as it is about developing clean energy.

It is speculated that gardens arise from a basic human need in the individuals who made them: the need for creative expression. There is no doubt that gardens evidence an irrepressible urge to create, express, fashion, and beautify and that self-expression is a basic human urge; (46) yet when one looks at the photographs of the garden created by the homeless,it strikes one that , for all their diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various other fundamental urges, beyond that of decoration and creative expression.

One of these urges has to do with creating a state of peace in the midst of turbulence, a “still point of the turning world,” to borrow a phrase from T. S. Eliot. (47) A sacred place of peace, however crude it may be, is a distinctly human need, as opposed to shelter, which is a distinctly animal need. This distinction is so much so that where the latter is lacking, as it is for these unlikely gardens, the former becomes all the more urgent. Composure is a state of mind made possible by the structuring of one’s relation to one’s environment. (48) The gardens of the homeless, which are in effect homeless gardens, introduce form into an urban environment where it either didn’t exist or was not discernible as such. In so doing they give composure to a segment of the inarticulate environment in which they take their stand.

Another urge or need that these gardens appear to respond to, or to arise from, is so intrinsic that we are barely ever conscious of its abiding claims on us. When we are deprived of green, of plants, of trees, (49) most of us give in to a demoralization of spirit which we usually blame on some psychological conditions, until one day we find ourselves in a garden and feel the oppression vanish as if by magic. In most of the homeless gardens of New York City the actual cultivation of plants is unfeasible, yet even so the compositions often seem to represent attempts to call forth the spirit of plant and animal life, if only symbolically, through a clumplike arrangement of materials, an introduction of colors, small pools of water, and a frequent presence of petals or leaves as well as of stuffed animals. On display here are various fantasy elements whose reference, at some basic level, seems to be the natural world. (50) It is this implicit or explicit reference to nature that fully justifies the use of the word garden, though in a “l(fā)iberated” sense, to describe these synthetic constructions. In them we can see biophilia—a yearning for contact with nonhuman life—assuming uncanny representational forms.

accountable to對(duì)…負(fù)責(zé)

此題的理解需承接整個(gè)句, 首先此空所在后半句乃一方式狀語(yǔ)，承接前半句說(shuō)明法官怎樣來(lái)解決有關(guān)法庭(裁決的)公正合理的質(zhì)疑。將此四個(gè)選項(xiàng)分別代入，可得出正確答案[D]，法官只有對(duì)對(duì)行為準(zhǔn)則負(fù)責(zé)，也即是遵循一定的行為準(zhǔn)則才可確保其裁決的公正與合理。

20.【答案】D

【解析】此題考察邏輯搭配。此句承接上句，旨在說(shuō)明由此帶來(lái)的結(jié)果，也即是文中所說(shuō)的"。。。使得裁決看起來(lái)完全不受政治的影響，如法律一般令人信服。" 結(jié)合四個(gè)選項(xiàng)意思，可知選[D]。

Section II Reading Comprehension

Part A

Text 1

21.【答案】D

【解析】文章首段包含了兩方面的內(nèi)容，作者先簡(jiǎn)單介紹Peer pressure，再引出Tina Rosenberg在她的新書(shū)Join the Club中對(duì)于peer pressure的看法，這篇文章是以一篇書(shū)評(píng)的形式出現(xiàn)。而題目"根據(jù)第一段，同伴壓力的出現(xiàn)常常是…"問(wèn)的僅僅是同伴壓力，并無(wú)涉及到Tina Rosenberg或者她的新書(shū)，因此答案則應(yīng)主要涉及文章對(duì)于peer pressure的介紹，而非Tina對(duì)于peer pressure的看法。首段第三句說(shuō)"(同伴壓力)通常引起不好的事情，如酗酒，嗑藥，亂交"，故答案選D，說(shuō)明同伴壓力出現(xiàn)導(dǎo)致的結(jié)果，這里的答案使用了同義替換的方式。

22.【答案】B

【解析】根據(jù)題干關(guān)鍵詞"public-health advocates"可以定位到第三段最后一句話"Rosenberg argues convincingly that public-health advocates ought to take a page from advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure",即應(yīng)該向廣告商學(xué)習(xí)，這里主要是對(duì)于短語(yǔ)"take a page from"的理解，答案選B

23.【答案】A

【解析】根據(jù)題干"在作者看來(lái)，Rosenberg的書(shū)沒(méi)能…"，所選答案是要找出作者看來(lái)這本書(shū)的缺點(diǎn)是什么。文章第四段第一句話說(shuō)"但是，在…方面，Rosenberg不太有說(shuō)服力"，緊接著說(shuō)"Join the Club中太多無(wú)關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)，而對(duì)于使同伴壓力能產(chǎn)生如此大作用的社會(huì)和生物因素并未做足夠的探究"，這句話充分說(shuō)明了在作者心目中這本書(shū)的不足在哪兒，故答案選A

24.【答案】C

【解析】這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第五段首句告訴我們peer groups確實(shí)會(huì)對(duì)行為產(chǎn)生很大的影響，第二句具體說(shuō)明影響的內(nèi)容，即好的習(xí)慣和不好的習(xí)慣都會(huì)通過(guò)社會(huì)交際在朋友圈中傳遞，最后一句則對(duì)這種影響進(jìn)行了總結(jié)，"這是同伴壓力的細(xì)微表現(xiàn)，我們無(wú)意識(shí)地模仿日常所見(jiàn)到的行為"。而分析題干和選項(xiàng)，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)該題是對(duì)"imitation of behavior"進(jìn)行歸納，回到原文，找到"我們無(wú)意識(shí)地模仿日常所見(jiàn)到的行為"，答案即刻清晰，這里是對(duì)unconsciously一詞進(jìn)行了釋義，因此C選項(xiàng)正確。

25.【答案】D

【解析】這道題考查作者對(duì)于peer pressure所能帶來(lái)的影響的態(tài)度，作者通過(guò)最后一段第一句話首先向我們表明他對(duì)"希賽網(wǎng)和其他人員是否能成功選擇同伴來(lái)引導(dǎo)他們的行為朝好的方向發(fā)展"的不肯定，接下來(lái)以教師指導(dǎo)學(xué)生的例子為說(shuō)明，得出結(jié)論"The tactic never really works."(這個(gè)策略從來(lái)沒(méi)有真正起作用)。通過(guò)作者的這樣一番描述，可以看出，作者對(duì)于peer pressure是否能有效果是質(zhì)疑的，故答案選D。

Text 2

26.【答案】C

【解析】

reneging 的原形是renege，本議是"食言""否認(rèn)"之意，為反向意義詞。而四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中A 中的condemning 意為"譴責(zé)""處刑"B中的reaffirming 意為"重申""再肯定，再斷言"，C中的dishonoring的意為"拒付，不兌付"，在意思和方向上都符合，D中securing 意為"保證，使保險(xiǎn)"的含義。本文主要在說(shuō)Entergy這個(gè)公司不兌現(xiàn)自己的諾言，所以應(yīng)選C項(xiàng)。

27.【答案】D

【解析】

本題答案定位在文中第三段每二句話，As a condition of receiving state approval for the sale , the company agreed to seek permission from state regulators to operate past 2012. "as a condition of"可以理解為"為了"，D 項(xiàng)中的"purchase "一詞就是對(duì)文中"sale"的替換。

28.【答案】A

【解析】

題干："根據(jù)第四段Entergy公司似乎在它的????上存在著問(wèn)題"，題目中已清晰把答案范圍確定在第四段，通過(guò)閱讀第四段我們可以看到Entergy公司出現(xiàn)了一系列的事故"a string of accidents",而后面的這句"raised serious questions about both Vermont Yankee's safety and Entergy's management"就是本題的答案所在了。其中 "managerial" "management"仍是同一單詞的變形。

29.【答案】D

【解析】

首先從題干知道考查的是作者的觀點(diǎn)。 "佛蒙特州事件"和will test在文章中的定位是在第5段第5句話，"Vermont case will offer a precedent-setting test of how far those powers extend"意思是"佛蒙特州事件將會(huì)檢驗(yàn)是這些權(quán)利延伸多遠(yuǎn)的先例"。這句話是legal scholars的觀點(diǎn)。重點(diǎn)是理解certainly和but后面的意思。雖然作者承認(rèn)擔(dān)憂如果每個(gè)周各行其是的后果是合理的，但是But后面是個(gè)虛擬語(yǔ)氣，與事實(shí)相反。所以作者的真正態(tài)度是支持legal scholars的觀點(diǎn)，即佛蒙特州事件是對(duì)州法規(guī)的權(quán)限的考驗(yàn)。How far those power extended與D選項(xiàng)的the limits of states' power與選項(xiàng)D"各州在核問(wèn)題上的權(quán)限"是相匹配的，因此正確答案為D。其他選項(xiàng)與"佛蒙特州事件"帶來(lái)的檢驗(yàn)，文中并未直接提及。

30.【答案】A

【解析】

最后一段主要講的是"Entergy公司的名譽(yù)已嚴(yán)重受創(chuàng)。該公司向聯(lián)邦申請(qǐng)：許可Pilgrim核電站獲得另外20年的開(kāi)放權(quán)。但是作者認(rèn)為，核管理委員會(huì)在審核該公司的申請(qǐng)的時(shí)候，務(wù)必要考慮下該公司的信譽(yù)問(wèn)題。"A選項(xiàng)"Entergy公司在其它地方的生意將會(huì)受到影響"由最后一段的第一句話"Entergy公司的名譽(yù)已嚴(yán)重受創(chuàng)"就可以推斷出來(lái);B"核管理委員會(huì)的權(quán)威將會(huì)被藐視"最后一段沒(méi)給出任何要藐視核管理委員會(huì)的暗含信息，因此B選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤;C "Entergy公司將會(huì)撤回關(guān)于Pilgrim核電站的申請(qǐng)"，最后一段同樣沒(méi)給出類似的暗含信息;D "Vermont的名聲將會(huì)受到破壞" 同樣，從最后一段，根本無(wú)法推斷出。因此，最佳答案是A。

Text 3

31.【答案】A

【解析】

這篇文章選自The Scientist,文章題目是The Evolution of Credibility。文章第一段第二句話提到"But in the everyday practice of science, discovery frequently follows an ambiguous and complicated route."，即在每天的科學(xué)實(shí)踐中，發(fā)現(xiàn)所遵循的規(guī)律是模棱兩可和復(fù)雜的。A項(xiàng)uncertainty and complexity 是對(duì)文中ambiguous and complicated的同義替換，所以為正確答案。

B項(xiàng)是利用文中最后一句話的干擾"Opportunities for misinterpretation, error, and self-deception abound"，這句話是說(shuō)"有誤解和自我欺騙的可能"，從而導(dǎo)致了科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)的模棱兩可和復(fù)雜性;C項(xiàng)和D項(xiàng)是受文章第一句話的干擾，但是第一句同時(shí)提出只有"在理想中(in the idealized version of ...)，科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)才能夠很客觀。

32.【答案】B

【解析】

第二段第二句中提到"But it takes collective scrutiny and acceptance to...",其中it指的是將科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)獲得公眾可信度的過(guò)程。接下來(lái)的第四句話具體講到了這個(gè)過(guò)程："through which the individual researcher's me, here, now becomes the community's anyone, anywhere, anytime."，即要經(jīng)歷從個(gè)人到集體的過(guò)程，需要每個(gè)人共同的努力，故答案為B。

33.【答案】B

【解析】

本段第三句話中提到"Within the complex social structure of the scientific community, researchers make discoveries"，即"研究者需要在科學(xué)團(tuán)體復(fù)雜的社會(huì)結(jié)構(gòu)中實(shí)現(xiàn)科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)"，在這句話的后面有一個(gè)分號(hào)，分號(hào)后面的三個(gè)短句分別解釋了在科學(xué)團(tuán)體中不同身份的人所做的不同工作，如新聞編輯者和評(píng)論家需要控制科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)公開(kāi)的過(guò)程,而另外一些科學(xué)家需要同過(guò)新的發(fā)現(xiàn)來(lái)證明已有的發(fā)現(xiàn)等。除此之外，最后一句話"transform an individual's discovery claim into the community's credible discovery"即將個(gè)人的發(fā)現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)換為集體可信的科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)，故答案為B，即科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)獲得公眾的可信度需要集體的努力和驗(yàn)證。

答案A是利用本段首句設(shè)置的干擾，屬于主觀臆斷;答案C為干擾項(xiàng)目，以偏概全;答案D文中沒(méi)有提及。

34.【答案】D

【解析】

第四段主要講到了科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)獲得大眾可信度的過(guò)程中面臨的兩個(gè)矛盾。Albert Szent-Gyorygi的觀點(diǎn)主要針對(duì)第二個(gè)矛盾，即創(chuàng)新本身經(jīng)常會(huì)引起懷疑。同時(shí)他認(rèn)為科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)需要"seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought"，即看到每個(gè)人都已經(jīng)看到的，并想到別人沒(méi)有想到的。這句話暗示了科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)的過(guò)程需要有評(píng)判性思維，即我們應(yīng)該去探求事物。故答案為D。

答案A與本段中講到的第一個(gè)矛盾有關(guān);答案B的過(guò)渡推斷來(lái)自本段最后一句話，這句話的意思是，真正有創(chuàng)新的發(fā)現(xiàn)需要時(shí)間的驗(yàn)證來(lái)得到公眾的認(rèn)可。答案C文中沒(méi)有提到，屬于主觀臆斷。

35.【答案】C

【解析】

此題考察對(duì)全文主旨大意的準(zhǔn)確歸納。從整個(gè)文章脈絡(luò)來(lái)看，文章第一段指出任何發(fā)現(xiàn)最終的目標(biāo)是使之客觀化，然而此過(guò)程或多或少會(huì)受到不同的生活環(huán)境的影響;第二段指出這個(gè)過(guò)程需要公眾共同的努力;第三段具體論述了不同的人在這個(gè)過(guò)程中需要完成的工作;第四段則提出了使科學(xué)發(fā)現(xiàn)獲得可信度的過(guò)程中所遇到的兩個(gè)矛盾;最后一段用Annette Baier的一句話總結(jié)了這個(gè)過(guò)程。由此可知，C項(xiàng)統(tǒng)領(lǐng)全文，為正確答案。答案A項(xiàng)與原文不符;答案B 是第二段中提到的一部分;而答案D只是對(duì)第四段的概括。

Text 4

36.【答案】C

【解析】

根據(jù)題干定位于第一段When …were in their prime in 1960, only one in ten American government workers belonged to a union; now 36% do. 意思是1960年時(shí)，美國(guó)政府部門(mén)只有1/10的人是工會(huì)成員，但是現(xiàn)在比例是36%。所以C選項(xiàng)正確：工會(huì)增加了政府部門(mén)成員。A選項(xiàng)：Teamster 仍然擁有很多成員。文中只提到了比例，并沒(méi)有講具體人數(shù);B：吉米過(guò)去是一個(gè)公仆。而文中第一句是一個(gè)虛擬語(yǔ)氣的句子，"如果他還活著的話，他今天可能代表一名公仆"，曲解文意;D：政府改善了與社團(tuán)的關(guān)系。文中并未提及。

37.【答案】D

【解析】

該題很容易根據(jù)題干定位于第二段。第二段中有很明顯的first, second, third這些詞，屬于典型的列舉處，最容易出細(xì)節(jié)題。只需要將各選項(xiàng)與這三點(diǎn)仔細(xì)比對(duì)即可。A 公共部門(mén)組織在采取行動(dòng)時(shí)很謹(jǐn)慎文中并示提及，是對(duì)"they now dominate left-of-centre politics"這句話設(shè)置的干擾項(xiàng)，"左派"為激進(jìn)派，不可能謹(jǐn)慎;而B(niǎo)錯(cuò)在教育不是需要的，而是公務(wù)員社團(tuán)成員受教育程度普遍偏高，并非必需;C工黨長(zhǎng)期與公務(wù)員社團(tuán)爭(zhēng)斗，該段倒數(shù)第二句指出工會(huì)與社團(tuán)一直有聯(lián)系，最后一句講到工會(huì)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)Miliband榮登寶座正是因?yàn)楣珓?wù)員社團(tuán)的大力支持，因此與原文相悖;D選項(xiàng)為First, they can shut things down without suffering much in the way of consequences.這句話的同義改寫(xiě)。意思是"他們可以息事寧人并不用遭受不好的后果"。

38.【答案】B

【解析】

該題很容易定位于文章的第四段。題干是"部門(mén)人員的工資狀況是"。做這道題要把第四段整體理解。注意But后面的內(nèi)容，尤其是keeping the pay increases modest but adding to holidays and especially pensions that are already generous。大意是公共部門(mén)員工的工資漲幅很小，但是節(jié)假日福利津貼很多。B選項(xiàng)的indirectly augment意思是"間接地增加"。和原文意思"公有部門(mén)人員的收入是來(lái)源于福利等間接收入，而非正常的工資收入"符合。A 通過(guò)非法得來(lái)文中只提到了部門(mén)人員的工資比私人企業(yè)的要高，整段都未提及來(lái)源，故該選項(xiàng)屬于過(guò)度推理;C 過(guò)度地增長(zhǎng)文中并未提及增長(zhǎng)的幅度，提到只是通過(guò)"暗廂操作"的方式，容易使考生產(chǎn)生誤解;D 很公正地調(diào)整與"backloaded"不符。

39.【答案】C

【解析】

題干的意思是"舉威斯康辛社團(tuán)為例，表明社團(tuán)_______"。該題根據(jù)題干中的專有名詞Wisconsin定位于倒數(shù)第二段。由題干可知這是一個(gè)例證題，所以需要看文章的第五段。第五段首句Reform has been vigorously opposed。從第六段Wisconsin的例子可以看出，工會(huì)集合眾人反對(duì)共和黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人Scott Walker，正是為了反對(duì)改革。所以可以知道工會(huì)可能是公共部門(mén)改革的一個(gè)障礙，C為正確選項(xiàng)。A 經(jīng)常與當(dāng)前政治體系對(duì)抗文中并未反映often這個(gè)程度。B 能夠改變?nèi)藗兊恼螒B(tài)度文中并示提及，D 在政府中占統(tǒng)治地位文中第二句講到社團(tuán)得到了成千上萬(wàn)人的支持來(lái)對(duì)付強(qiáng)硬的共和黨州長(zhǎng)，并不能推出該選項(xiàng)之意。

40.【答案】A

【解析】

文中人物的觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。該題定位于最后一段，第一句話指出John認(rèn)為西方公共服務(wù)中的文化準(zhǔn)則適用于想維持原狀的人們而對(duì)于有比較高成就的人們就不利了，很明顯持否定態(tài)度，最后再次指出不能造福于高成就人們的公共服務(wù)系統(tǒng)對(duì)于美國(guó)可能是一個(gè)更大的麻煩，也再次證實(shí)了作者的觀點(diǎn)是不支持的即A選項(xiàng)。disapproval"反對(duì)"，appreciation"欣賞"，tolerance"寬容"，indifference"冷漠"。

Part B

41.【答案】C

【解析】略讀第一自然段得知這篇文章的主題是科技給人們的生活帶來(lái)的便利，重點(diǎn)論述了媒介。此題空在末尾，那么通讀空前的內(nèi)容，可以找到特征詞或者中心詞"creat a fabulous machine"瀏覽七個(gè)選項(xiàng)，C項(xiàng)中的"develop such a device"剛好與此對(duì)應(yīng)

42.【答案】D

【解析】此題空在了段落的中間，需要在空前和空后找關(guān)聯(lián)詞，空前出現(xiàn)了"reason"這個(gè)特征詞，而空后出現(xiàn)了"war"這個(gè)特征詞，瀏覽七個(gè)選項(xiàng)，D項(xiàng)的"because"和"war"剛好與此對(duì)應(yīng)，所以答案選D.

43.【答案】A

【解析】此題空在段末，因此要在空前以及下一自然段的段首找關(guān)聯(lián)詞，瀏覽空前可以找到"superfluous material goods" ,而瀏覽下一自然段的句首可找到"download"這個(gè)詞;那么瀏覽七個(gè)選項(xiàng)，答案A出現(xiàn)了"these superfluous things"，接下來(lái)也提及到了"download"，因此可以鎖定答案A.

44.【答案】F

【解析】此題空在句末，所以需要瀏覽下空前以前下一個(gè)自然段的句首，通讀空前的內(nèi)容可以找到關(guān)聯(lián)詞"a pyramid of production remains,"，而下一個(gè)自然段的段首提到了"television"，那么瀏覽七個(gè)選項(xiàng)，跟此關(guān)聯(lián)的有兩項(xiàng)E和F,再繼續(xù)分析，E項(xiàng)只有"television"這個(gè)詞與空后對(duì)應(yīng)，而F項(xiàng)不僅出現(xiàn)了"television"這個(gè)詞，而且出現(xiàn)了"this pyramid of production"這個(gè)特征詞，所以，答案為F.

45.【答案】G

【解析】此題空在段末，那么需要瀏覽下空前的句子，尋找關(guān)聯(lián)詞，在B和G之間進(jìn)行選擇，通讀可知，空前的"flow"與G項(xiàng)的"the flow"是相對(duì)應(yīng)的，B項(xiàng)的"applications"在文中沒(méi)有提及，所以此題鎖定答案G

Part C

46. 【解析】本句結(jié)構(gòu)比較簡(jiǎn)單，它是一個(gè)簡(jiǎn)單句，句子主干結(jié)構(gòu)是one approach takes…and seeks…。破折號(hào)后面的部分是對(duì)前面提到的理論的進(jìn)一步解釋。

1)take …to extreme…把……發(fā)揮到極致，把。。。推至極限

2)theory of everything萬(wàn)有理論?；蛘咭部梢砸粋€(gè)短語(yǔ)翻譯出來(lái)"適用于任何事物的理論"

3)generative equation生成等式、生成方程。

【參考譯文】物理學(xué)中的一個(gè)理論把這種歸一的沖動(dòng)發(fā)揮到了極致，它探尋一種萬(wàn)有理論----一個(gè)關(guān)于我們能看到的一切的生成方程式。

解析：

47. 【解析】對(duì)本句話的理解關(guān)鍵在于對(duì)for引導(dǎo)的句子的正確理解。因?yàn)橛袃蓚€(gè)逗號(hào)，有的同學(xué)在考場(chǎng)比較緊急的時(shí)間和緊張的狀態(tài)下容易把兩個(gè)逗號(hào)間的部分理解為插入語(yǔ)，那么這句話就很難理解了。

1)for 引導(dǎo)的句子表原因與前句是并列關(guān)系，for原因并列句中又包含一個(gè)if引導(dǎo)的條件狀語(yǔ)從句

2)"it seems reasonable to suppose that"對(duì)這句話的翻譯可以翻譯成一個(gè)長(zhǎng)句，也可以分開(kāi)翻譯成"那么假設(shè)文化差異也能夠追溯到更有限的源頭, 這種假設(shè)看上去便是合理的了。"

3)對(duì)于 "cultural diversit"的理解，我們?nèi)菀资艿街霸趥淇贾薪?jīng)常遇到的"cultural diversity"的影響，直接翻譯成"文化多樣性"，但在本文，前文很多次提到了共性，所以這里我們翻譯為"文化差異"更合適。

【參考譯文】在這里，達(dá)爾文主義似乎提供了有力的理由，因?yàn)槿绻祟愑泄餐钠鹪?，那么假設(shè)文化差異也能夠追溯到更有限的源頭好像就是合理的了。

48. 【解析】這句話結(jié)構(gòu)主要在于對(duì)三個(gè)"what"從句的理解。本題是三個(gè)what引導(dǎo)的從句第一個(gè)是what引導(dǎo)的賓語(yǔ)從句，做filter out 的賓語(yǔ)。第二個(gè)what是介詞from的賓語(yǔ)，from 是固定搭配中的介詞filter out A from B。第三個(gè)what是understand的賓語(yǔ)，和how并列

1)句子主干可以看做：To filter out A from B enables us to understand C and D

A指的是"what is contingent and unique"

B指的是"what is shared" how complex cultural behaviour arose"

C指的是"how complex cultural behaviour arose"

D指的是"what guides it in evolutionary or cognitive terms"

2)Filter out詞組本意是濾掉，。這個(gè)單詞可能有同學(xué)會(huì)不熟悉，但是如果對(duì)本句結(jié)構(gòu)理解清楚，看到from這個(gè)介詞，加之對(duì)前文大意的理解，我們可以猜出這個(gè)詞的意思，或者理解為"區(qū)分"等也不影響全句的理解。以避免我們有的同學(xué)看到第一個(gè)單詞不認(rèn)識(shí)立馬生出的膽怯情緒，影響下文判斷。

【參考譯文】把差異性和獨(dú)特性從共性中過(guò)濾出來(lái)也許能讓我們理解復(fù)雜的文化行為是如何產(chǎn)生的，是什么從進(jìn)化或認(rèn)知領(lǐng)域指導(dǎo)著它。

49. 【解析】本句結(jié)構(gòu)比較明朗，關(guān)鍵是句子前部分單獨(dú)很難理解，需要結(jié)合前文。這也恰恰說(shuō)明了考研英語(yǔ)中的翻譯首先是閱讀理解的一部分，不是單獨(dú)的翻譯而已。

1)這里的the second與上文的"The most famous of these efforts was initiated by Noam Chomsky,"，所里這里應(yīng)該翻譯成"第二種理論"所以這句話需要根據(jù)上下文和邏輯解釋清楚。而不能單純的翻譯成第二。。。

2)對(duì)于括號(hào)內(nèi)部的處理，我們可以直接放在括號(hào)中即可。

【參考譯文】約書(shū)亞格林伯格為尋找語(yǔ)言的共性而付出努力提出了第二種理論。他采用了一個(gè)更實(shí)用的共性理論，做法是辨認(rèn)出眾多語(yǔ)言的共有特征(尤其是按照詞序排列)，這些特征被認(rèn)為代表了由認(rèn)知局限導(dǎo)致的偏差。

50. 【解析】這句話的結(jié)構(gòu)比較簡(jiǎn)單，復(fù)雜的是其中大量的術(shù)語(yǔ)和不熟悉的詞匯。對(duì)于這些詞匯我們根據(jù)直譯即可。

本句結(jié)構(gòu)：Chomsky's grammar should show…, whereas Greenbergian….

1)That引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句修飾patterns

2)這里的"grammar"是指是上文的生成語(yǔ)法，所以這里可以把生成語(yǔ)法翻譯出來(lái)。

3)co-dependencies 這個(gè)詞需要根據(jù)上下詞義加之詞根詞綴來(lái)猜測(cè)出詞義，因?yàn)橄挛闹赋鍪莾烧哧P(guān)系，所以可以翻譯為"共存性"。

【參考譯文】喬姆斯基生成語(yǔ)法應(yīng)該表明語(yǔ)言變化的模式，這些模式獨(dú)立于族譜或貫穿其中的路徑，然而格林伯格的共性理論預(yù)測(cè)詞序關(guān)系的特殊類別之間(而不是其他)有著強(qiáng)烈的共存性。

I am the chairman of the Students' Union. I've just received the emails from you and got the news that you will come to our university. Firstly, I'd like to show our warm welcome. On behalf of our university and all the students here, I really look forward to your coming.

In order to make all of you feel at home, here are some conductive suggestions. Firstly, you'd better take some warm clothes with you because it is winter in China now and it is very cold in Beijing. Secondly, I advise you to prepare some relevant knowledge about Chinese culture for better understanding in class.

I really hope you'll find these proposals useful. And I'm looking forward to your coming!

Yours sincerely,

Li Ming

As can be clearly seen from the vivid picture, in front of a toppled bottel of which most water in it has flowed out, a man says "there is none left , how unlucky I am" looking rather upset, while another man quickly picked this bottle up, saying "I'm such a lucky dog, there is still some left". How vivid the cartoon it is! The two men show quite different perspectives toward the same situation.

The implication conveyed in this cartoon is that different perspectives we take to exam problems we confront lead to different attitutes or answers to these problems. In the first place, we'll find the problem is very difficult to handle from the pessimistic perspective. However, if we change our way of observing problems, we may find that we can make some remedial work even to turn something bad into good. In this way, we can find solutions for any difficulties. Every coin has two sides. So why not change an angel to observe the problem we encounter?

Whenever we face with the situation like the cartoon,what we should do is to observe it positively, especially when we are experiencing and encountering setbacks, only if we have the optimistic attitude, can we be bound to live a life of happiness
